TWO GENT0, EVANSJETIRES 'Fighting Bob" Quits Acti?e Serflce in the Nary After 48 Years in the Seryice of Ills Country. HIS Fill ENDS UNITE In Celebration of the Occasion and UU Birthday. They Present Him a Luring Cup and a Big Cake. Lake Mohonk. Aug. 19. Far from grim warships and the sea. where he pent nearly half a century In the ser vice of his country. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans of the United States navy, who is at this quiet mountain hotel, reached the age limit of 62 years yesterday and passed from the ranks of the country's active sea fight ers. Here, where fourteen peace con ferences have assembled, sending forth to the world appeals that arms be laid down, one of the world's greatest naval commanders laid down his arms, probably never again to take them up In the defense of the country he has served so well. His has been the longest service, but two years short of half a century, of any man who has reached the office or rear aamirai in the United States navy. All through the day the hotel was thronged with admirers of Fighting Bob." as his hosts of friends delight to call him. eager to congratulate him on the 62d birthdav and to wish him many happy and useful years. Tele grams by the score reached him from all parts of the country all expressing felicitation and affection for the man who has done so much to build up the American navy. Many of the mes sages brought delighted smiles to the admiral's face, while others brought just a suspicion of moisture to his rye.;. The telegram In particular which caused "Fighting Bob" many smiles, came from an old friend In Washington and said: "For some of us. skipper, your flag will always fly." Sailors, soldiers. statesmen and civilians. In fact every walk In life, va-j represented in the great outpour Inr of messages which came to him. Tn reply to a friend who asked the admiral how he felt on his 62d birth day, he replied characteristically: Exports to Reach 100. "Fit as a fiddle. I am 6 2 years young today and I expect to reach a hundred. I am taking on flesh at the rate of half a pound a day. and I have not got a thing to do but loaf. Who would not get well under such circumstances?" The admiral said he expected to wtay here until October when he will go to Washington to be associated with the general board in an advisorv capacity. He added he expected to do some work before he left here, having arranged with a magazine to write twelve articles on naval subjects. Asked regarding the probable effect of the cruise of the fleet around the world which he commanded from Hampton Roads to San Francisco the frst stage of the long journey, the admiral paid he believed its influence was already being felt. That the cruise would add more than mere prestige to the United States as a world power, the admiral asserted In no uncertain tones. He said it was the greatest disappointment of his life that he was unable to keep the com mand at least until he could visit Jap an, where he has a great many friends rmong the statesmen of that country. Questioned In regard to the war talk between the two countries., the admiral said there would never be any war unless the United States forc ed it upon Japan. He said the Japan ese are a sensitive people and the greatest little fighters In the world. nd It is not a wise policy to annoy them too much. The admiral strongly asserted that the United States is In duty bound to maintain a large navy. He declared that he had always held that our best guarantee of perpetual peace Is to be so strong that other nations will be afraid of us. "We should have twenty-four bat tleships in both the Pacific and Atlan tic oceans." said the admiral. "Six teen of these should be in commission in each ocean all of the time with eight held In reserve." The admiral expressed It as his opinion, formed through long service and study of our naval needs, that such a fleet of battleships would not only guarantee a state of peace, but would have Inestimable value In pro moting our trade Interests in all quar ters of the globe. I Celebration of the Occasion. The formal celebration In honor of the admiral took place in the larger rarlor of the Mountain hotel. The room was gaily decorated with American flags, but the feature which attracted the attention of everybody was a battle-scarred flag which the admiral car ried on the Iowa during the battle with the Spanish fleet at Santiago. -Albert K. Smiley Introduced as pre siding officer of the ceremonies J. Ed ward Simmons of New York. When Admiral Evans was brought into the room in a wheel chair the audience ap plauded him vigorously, keeping it up until the admiral silently raised his Iiand as a request for silence. Mr Simmons then delivered an eulogy of the admiral. A large number of letters from men distinguished in public and private life were then read by Mr.. Simmons. Among those who sent letters re gretting their inability to be present were President Roosevelt. Dr. Taylor Rear Admiral Pillsbury. Governor Hughes, Paul Morton, former secretary of the navy, and General Anson G Mc C'ook. Each letter voiced the writer's high appreciation of the admiral and his services to his country. Following the reading of the letter several impromptu addresses eulogiz ing the admiral were made. After the audience had sung "Amer ica." Dr. Andrew S. Draper of Now York made the address of presenta tion of the loving cup which was a gift to Admiral Evans from the guests of the hotel. The cup is of silver gold lined, with three handles and beauti fully engraved. Cheering and applause followed Ad miral Evans' speech of acceptance. Just at the close of the exercises a huge birthday cake covered with 2 lighted candles, was brought Into the room. This gift seemed to please the admiral more than any other part of tne ceremonies of the evening. A re ception followed the formal ceremonies and men, women and children vied with each other In their efforts to show their admiration of "Fighting Bob." Roosevelt's Letter. President Roosevelt's letter was as follows: Oyster Bay, New York, Aug. 5, 1908. My Dear Mr. Simmons: I thank you for your kind invitation. It is not pos sible for me to accept, much to my re gret. Through you may I convey to the guests assembled my cordial sym pathy with their purpose, and to Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, in particu lar, let me renew the assurance of the high regard and esteem which he al ready knows I hold for him. His has been one of the most honorable careers of our public service. All good Ameri cans owe him a debt of gratitude. In a peculiar degree his name typifies the growth of our navy from the days of Farragut te the day when Admiral Evans himself brought into the Pacific waters the mightiest war fleet that had ever appeared west of Magellan or east of Suez, commanding this fleet during the first period of a voyage sucn as no other fleet of the kind of any nation has ever taken. It is eminently appropriate that the reception to Ad miral Evans should be given In what you well call "a veritable temple of peace," for the United States navy is the best guarantee of peace we have, and all men who believe in the peace of justice throughout the world should do everything that In them lies to maintain and build up this navy. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Mr. J. Edward Simmons, Lake Mo honk Mountain House, Mohonk Lake N. Y. OYER AN INCH OF RAIN. Another Heavy Storm Visits Eastern Kansas. A heavy electric and rain storm visited Topeka just before daybreak this morning, the precipitation amounting to 1.10 and reports re ceived at the local weather station In dicate that the storm was general over the state. The forecast sent out from the government weather station at Chicago predicted fair weather for last night and today though a sup plemental report issued by the local department indicated showers in Kan sas. The forecast sent out from Chicago was founded on barometer readings taken in the lake region while the lo cal forecast was made from general conditions in this state based on the velocity and direction of the wind. A low temperature condition has pre vailed in the extreme northwest for several days the mercury readings In a number of instances being but a few degrees above freezing point. This condition taken with the "High" which has prevailed at the same time is largely responsible for the cool weather and local storms which have prevailed In Kansas dur ing the past week. The rainfall dur ing the morning was heaviest in the valley of the Kaw and along the streams tributary though the precipi tation has not been such that there is a possibility of a rise in the Kaw which will effect the river at this point to a noticeable extent. The electric display about 4 o'clock this morning was one of the most brilliant witnessed in this part of the state this season and the nearness of the lightning and crashing of the simultaneous thunder indicates that many bolts of lighting struck in or near the city. One bolt of lightning struck the spire of the Methodist church and tore oft a strip of shingles and lost itself in the interior -of the building without doing further dam age. Reports received at the government weather station in Topeka Indicate the precipitation at the following points in the state: Topeka. 1.10: Concordia, 70: Dresden, 18; Manhattan, 102; Dodge City. .01: Baker, .54: Osage City, .84; Toronto. .40; Fort Scott, .34; Wichita. .04; Macksville, .68: Mc Pherson. .36. The local forecast reads: "Generally fair tonight and Thursday. Cooler tonight." The weather conditions in Topeka have ben exceedingly threatening since early this morning and a number of light drizzling showers have oc curred, though the total precipitation today has amounted to but .04 of an Inch, making a total for the past 24 hours of 1.14 Inches. The tempera tures have again been several degrees below normal and the overhead Indi cations suggest rain at most any min ute. The following were, the tempera tures since 7 oclock this morning 7 o'clock 67 8 o'clock 67 9 o'clock 69 10 o'clock 71 11 o'clock 75 12 o'clock 76 1 o'clock 77 2 o'clock 72 DOLLEY IS CONFIDENT. lias Chairmanship Cinched Albangh Pledges Support. J. N. Dolley, of Maple Hill, is in Topeka today, and says that his elec tion to the office of chairman of the Republican state central committee is assured. Mort Albaugh called upon Mr. Dol ley today and told him that he would have the support of Albaugh and his friends. "It is very gratifying to find that everyone seems anxious to let this fac tional fight drop, now that the primary l cialH V1 Dnliev. "What we should do is to meet here at Topeka on August io, aaoipi a. consrrui:, well considered platform, and get to gether for the purpose of electing our state senators and representatives. We can carry everything in the state if we pull together, and it seems to be the disposition to do this." NEW HIGH YxPLOSlVt. It Tears Kmpp Armor Plate All to Pieces. Munich. Aug. 19. A new high ex plosive of a power beyond anything hitherto used In the German army was tested near here yesterday in the pres ence of the artillery proving comrais sion from Berlin, representatives of the Bavarian war ministry, the imperial r.avy and the fortress and ordnance de partments with what are described as sensational results. Three shells ex ploded by electricity' tore Krupp ar mor plates to pieces. The explosive Is the invention of Fritz Cehra. HE WAS STARVING G. A. Petterson's Excuse for Writing Bogus Checks. Said He Had Nothing to Eat for Three Days. HE HAS A KECOHD. Arrested at Eureka for Similar Offense. Was Let Off and Sent to the Asylum. G. A. Petterson, who was captured by Detective Hutton at the state asylum farm on charge of passing about $25 worth of unecks against a 6 account in the Prudential bank, told a pitiful story in prison this morn ing. He declared that he had been here in Topeka since the first of the year, working at odd Jobs over the city, and when he withdrew his ac count at the Prudential he was ac tually starving to death. He said he had had nothing to eat for three days and no place to sleep at night. "I wrote those checks and dated them ahead," he said, "hoping and expect ing to earn the money to deposit against them in time, but I failed to do so. I was hungry and desperate and I wrote the checks. I did not mean any harm and they surely cannot do any thing with me if I work and make the checks all good. I have a job at the asylum farm and if they will let me work there a month I can pay them off." Petterson is a young man. well dressed and of rather prepossessing appearance, except that he has a wild look out of his eye. He talks like a man of education. Detective Hutton asked the man about his past record, and If it was not a fact that he had worked the same check game at Eureka a couple of years ago that he worked here, and if it was not true that he had escaped prosecution by pleading insanity. "I do not remem ber the details of that matter." answered the prisoner in a low tone. "I was confined at Osawatomie for nine months, but I do not know for what cause. It seems to me they caught me at Wichita." Petterson wrote a dozen checks against his $6 account and borrowed a bicycle from Roy Nelson, 165 Win field avenue, which he forgot to re turn to the owner. Petterson de clares that he left the wheel at the ITnion Cycle Co., for repairs and that he did not write a check for to for the payment of the repairs on the wheel and then borrow $2 additional from the accommodating bicycle peo ple, as was reported to the police. And he declares further that he notified Nelson by letter where he had left the latter's wheel. Nelson has the wheel listed with the police as missing or stolen property. "Brevity is the soul of wit and te diousness its outward limbs and flour ishes." declares the bard of Avon, and a little old dwarf of a negro this morning in the office of the jail seem ed to agree perfectly with the English playwrlter. The negro had been ar rested on some petty charge or other and had gained permission to tele phone a friend to try and raise the necessary coin with which to liquid ate his fine. The negro called for his friend's number and when the latter answered him the prisoner said: "I'm In jail." That was all. No preface. No sequel. But these three words were surely emphatic enough and conveyed more real meaning about the situation, threw more and a brighter light on the subject than ten thousand words of description could have done. "Mah fren Is on de way," said the little ne gro, as he shuffled back to his cell. Solomon In all his glory was never called upon to decide such a perplex ing case of law and equity as was Chief Eaton this morning in the mat ter of two negroes who asked him to arbitrate their differences over a suit of clothes which had been pawned by one son of Ham and redeemed by the other one. It was this way: An Ok lahoma negro came to Topeka and had so much trouble in keeping the wolf from the door that he had to pawn a new suit of clothes as a last resort. He got t3.13 for the clothes and on this capital went to Kansas City to take a fresh start in life. His Investments in the Missouri metropolis proved pro fitable and he wrote to a friend here td get his clothes out of hock, send ing the pawn ticket In the letter. The Topeka negro paid $3.75 and got the clothes. The Oklahoma negro return ed to Topeka and demanded his wear ing apparel, offering to pay $3 for the suit. The Topeka negro declined to part with the clothes at a loss and proceeded to put them on and wear them. Storm clouds appeared in the sky. The Oklahoman watched his chance and stole the coat. The for mer friends met on Kansas avenue and war was averted only by the In terference of Detective Hopkins, who, when called upon to settle the dispute, gave it up and took the pair before Chief Eaton. The chief hemmed and hawed. It was a mixed up case, es pecially as the Oklahoma negro claim ed a rebate on the original $3.75, for the reason that his Topeka friend had worn the clothes at least 75c worth, making the $3 offer a fair one. The chief finally decided that the Oklaho man must paid the original $3.75 call ed for by the pawn ticket which was redeemed by the Topekan. The lat ter went away exclaiming: "A Daniel come to judgment." and the chief Is swelled u pover his perspicacity. Sergeant Ross has been painting his house on Jackson street during his va cation and Jailer Kinney declares that the sergeant has spread more paint on h!s own clothes than on the surface of the building. Wabash Promotions. St. Louis, Auaf. 19. Announcement was made today of the promotion of J. D. McNamara. assistant general passenger agent of the Wabash rail road, to the position of creneral pas senger agent, with headquarters at St. Louis, succeeding Charles Crane, for whom the new office of general for eign passenger agent at St. Louis was created. Mr. McNamara will take charge of the Wabash passenger de- partment September -1. It was also announced from the Wabash office that C. H. Stinson, assistant general freight agent in charge of the road's fast freight line work, has been made general freight agent at St: -Louis, ef fective today. SENTENCED 26 TO DIE. Record of One Dayin the,' Dominion of the Czar. St. Petersburg, Aug. 19. Seven more sentences of deaths were reported to day, making the total- for- one day. yesterday, throughout the empire 26, and constituting a sinister record. One sentence was signed at Kharkov, two at Saratov, three at Kiev, five at War saw, five at Piusk and ten at Lodz. The two men sentenced at Sartov were former sailors attached to the Black sea fleet and had been found guilty of taking the lead in an attempt to pillage an estate. The three men at Kiev were found guilty of attempting to murder a forester, the five Warsaw men were convicted of robbery accom panied by violence and the ten men at Lodz were condemned lor an armed attack on a railroad train. The dis patches do not mention the reasons for the Kharkov and Piusk sentences. There were two executions yesterday at Warsaw, one at Tiflis and several at St. Petersburg. The newspapers have ceased to publish statistics of this kind. in order to maintain their circulation in the provincial cities, where the pub lication of death sentences is prohib ited. This regulation does not apply to St. Petersburg or Moscow, but there the papers, because of their out of town circulation have eliminated, any refer ence to these matters. A second unsuccessful -attempt was made last evening to assassinate the chief of police of Pyatigorsk, M. von Oglio. Three men emptied their revol vers at the chief, but failed to hit him. The police shot down one of the revo-r lutionists, the others escaping. A dispatch from Tcherdyn reports an armed collision between the inhabit ants of two neighboring villages over the ownership of a piece of disputed land. Two men were killed and sev eral were seriously wounded. Ten of the leaders were placed in Jail. BRIC-A-BRAC SEIZED. Mrs. "Jack" Gardner In Trouble With the Customs Officers. Chicago., Aug. 19, -United States customs Officers here have seized tapestries, paintings, statuary and rare pieces of armor, valued at $80,000, the property of Mrs. ."Jack" Gardner of Boston, which was bought abroad for Mrs. Gardner's palace in Back Bay Fens. The goods, the customs offi cials allege were brought Into this country as the "household goods" of Mrs. Emily Rockwell Crane Chad bourne of this city, a friend of Mrs. Gardner, on which Mrs. Chadbourne, the government officials say,, placed a valuation of $8.00&i An Investigation Vtm begun by the customs authorities and when the real value of the goods was discovered, the tax of $80,000 was placed upon them by Collector of Customs Ames.

However, it is declared that $80,000 will have to be paid before possession of the property can be secured. Offi cials of the customs department have turned the ease over to District Attor ney Sims for further investigation. DEFENDS THE PRESS. President of Editorial Association Says It Is First to Cry "Stop Thief." St. Paul, Aug. 19. In his annual address to members of the National Editorial association President H. B. Varner asserted that in spite of the frequent charges of corruption against the press, it was the newspaper that first cried "stop thief," and was chief ly responsible for the awakening of the public conscience. Mr. "Varner severe ly arraigned the paper trust for, rorc ing Its product upon the newspapers at Its own prices. The paper trust is a murderer and not a hero." Tsaid President Varner. "It is criminal and its tendency is to undervalue human life." Mr. Varner urged strong organization to combat the paper trust and establish the jus tice of the newspapers' demands. Past President W. E. Stephens of Columbia, Mo., who has Just returned from a tour of the world, stated that the United States has the greatest newspapers in the world, in fact the ideal newspaper. Many cities are working for next year's convention. Seattle is making the strongest fight. William A. Steele, treasurer of the association. Is from Seattle and he feels confident that the Washington city will win. A MATTER QF HONOR Holland's Grievance Against Vene zuela Can't Be Arbitrated. The Hague, Aug. 19. After a nine hour session during which the dispute between the Netherlands and Vene zuela was canvassed exhaustively in all its phases, the cabinent dispersed shortly after midnight last night and Minister of Foreign Affairs Van Swin deren, proceeded to the royal chateau at Het Loo to acquaint Queen WU helmina with the result of the coun cil. The terms of the Netherlands an swer to the letter of President Castro of Venezuela were fully discussed and it is understood that the actual test as well as broad lines of action drawn up to meet any possible eventualities, were agreed upon. In diplomatic circles here the view is entertained that the present difficulty between Holland and Venezuela is not of a nature to be settled by arbitration and in explanation it Is pointed out that the dispute is not of a private commercial character like the difficul ties that have arisen between Vene zuela and Great Britain, Germany and America. In these cases the govern ments in question sought satisfaction for claims, but Holland has no claim against Venezuela; It is maintained that the present question is rather one of society and national honor, matters which are not so susceptible of solu tion by arbitration. Weather Indications. Chicago, Aug. -19. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and Thurs day. Cooler tonight. POUTICjOOSSIP Stubbs' Majority for Governor Is 18,656.

One by one the prospective contests for nomination to the legislature are fizzling out. For a time it looked as though there might be a dozen con tests filed. Thus far there have been none. The latest case to vanish la that of David Phillips against F. L. Travis from the Allen-Woodson district. Phillips was; beaten by IS votes, and thought for a while he would demand a recount, but he -has changed his mind. Finney county is sow !n sending in its returns on the result of the legisla tive contests in the recent .primary, and for that reason the list of candi dates for the legislature in Finney county was incomplete, as printed in the State Journal Monday. A letter from Garden City an nounces that Richard J. Hopkins Is the Republican nominee by about 200 majority. Ralph Hoskinson is the Democratic nominee. It Is a peculiar coincidence that the opposing candidates are the respective sons of W.- R- Hopkins and the late A. J. Hoskinson, who for many years were law partners in Garden City. The two young men have grown up together in Finney county, and are close personal friends. Some day the official returns may be received from Finney county, and the nomination of Hopkins and Hos kinson officially announced. The Republican congressional com mittee of the First district will meet at Topeka at 9 o'clock a. m., August 25. This Is the second of the congres sional committees to announce a meeting for the morning of the "party council" day. The call for the meet ing has been Issued by Chairman Arthur Capper and Secretary W. I. Blddle. Clyde Miller; aaoraUrz of -the Re publican state committee, is trying to compile a list of the members of the new Republican state committee. The state committee ia composed of all the county chairmen in the state, and in order to have things ready for the meeting of the state committee on August 25. it is necessary that the list of members should be in Mr. Miller's hands. The square dealers are talking about two different candidates for secretary of the Republican state committee. J. C. Gaftord is one of -the men talked of, and Guy Swallow of Jefferson county is another. Mr. G afford Is the present state accountant, and his home is Minneapolis. It is not known whether he would consent to take the office. Morton Albaugh. one of the leading Long workers in the recent campaign, announces that he is for J. N. Dolley for chairman of the state committee. He says that if there was any acid taste left in the mouths of any Kan sas Republicans by the recent primary, it is disappeared, and that Kansas Re publicans will be harmonious for the November election. Mr. Albaugh has Just returned from Indiana, where he went to visit. Frank Grimes is another who en dorses Dolley for chairman. Grimes w4 one of the Lone chieftains. Mr. Grimes save: "I am for Dolley for chairman or tne Republican state central committee no matter who else is a candidate. Dolley deserves the place for the manner in which he conducted the Stubbs cam paign and I believe he is the man for the place. I don't know of anyone who is better qualified to handle the cam paign than Dolley. There are still a good many sore spots over the primary election and I don't know of anyone who could bring the different factions together any quicker or better than Joe. I hope he will be elected chair man of the committee." TO WORK FOR CHICAGO. Eastern Democratic Headquarters to Be In the West. Chicago, Aug. 19. Eastern headquar ters of the Democratic national com mittee will he formally opened in Chi cago on August 27, and National Chair man Mack-on,. hi arrival in that city, will announce the subcommittee, which will control the campaign in the east and -name -the -chairman In charge of the 'eastern headquarters. Uncertaln ity as to the makeup of the subcom mittee and the selection of a chairman has developed within the last 24 hours. Former Senator James Smith, of New Jersey, was generally regarded as the man to be chosen for chairman of the committee in the east but Mr. Smith is understood to. have written the na tional committee that he would be un able to accept the position. Chairman Mack is conferring daily with the national committeemen here regarding the (subcommittee and he is being urged to appoint a New York man as chairman of the committee. Several names have been suggested and it-rnay berth Mr. Mack will call a conference In New Tork. to make the selection. Mr. Mack said today that Mr. Brvan would reach here Saturday and that he had invited the heads of the various bureaus and many promi nent Democrats in nearby states to confer with the candidate. On next Monday noon Mr. Bryan, Chairman Mack and other members of the na tional committee will leave for Indian- attend tine TCnrn notification afvuo on Tuesday. Mr. Mack expects to stop oft in Washington en route to icr Tork and confer with several Demo crats there. John W. Kern, vice presidential can didate, was expected at headquarters for a brief visit today en route to Mil- Kern to Speak at Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 19. John W. Kern, accompanied by a delegation from Indianapolis, and Mayor Rose of this city, who went to Chicago to meet him, are expected to arrive late this afternoon. Mr. Kern will deliver an address tonight. MAY BE TUCKER. Eureka Senator May Be Secretary of State Committee. A boom was started today for Geo. -en t... nf ir.ivirn f nr the lob of secretary of the Republican state cen tral committee. Mr. Tucker is at present out of a political occupation, as he was beaten for the Republican iotin rnr rnnrreffl In the Fourth district, and his term as state senator will expire with tne present year. Tucker is regarded as one of the ablest young men in the square deal crowd, and he at the same time Is well liked by the "machine" faction. He Is too valuable a man for the politicians nuAa, him tn Hrnn nut of the ira me. and it would not be surprising if the demand for him to be a candidate for secretary would become so strong that the state committee wouiu mio n. unanimous. t natrn-rA mme to Toneka todav. and announced that he has no desire to be a candidate tor tne secretary ship.

With the sin gle proviso that no militarv occupa tion of territory must occur, the gov ernment at Washington is understood to have given the cabinet of The Netherlands a free hand to deal as it sees fit with President Castro of Vene zuela.

No official of ine state was willing to acknowledge that the change in route had been made because of the trouble there, but it was broadly hinted that this was one of the determining factors In the selection of -the route to be trav eled. The Fourth infantry, whose com panies are scattered in the principal towns of the southern end of the state, began to break up early in the morn ing The various units left Spring field by trolley cars and railway trains and the last was not away until late in the afternoon. Colonel E. J. Lang of this regiment was called horn, several days ago and the departure was under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Claud E. Ryman of Vandalia. Mob Spirit Declines The effect of the news that the troops had begun to depart wai anxiously awaited by the state and city authorities. Since the determina tion of Governor Deneen to establish order at all costs was evidenced bv the summoning of- 4.200 soldiers to the city, there has been a notable de crease in the mob spirit here. At the same time threats as to what would happen wherr the--troops left have been numerous and widespread and there is a well defined fear that the lawless individuals who have not yet been i nnrAhpnlnrf ma a renew the disturbance later this week. A counteracting effect is looked for from the special grand Jury which yesterday indicated George E. Rich ardson for the alleged assault upon Mrs. Mabel Hallam and which today began to consider the evidence against rioters.. The appeals of Governor Deneen. the Chamber of Commerce, Ministers' association and other civic bodies, that citizens generally furnish information to the state's attorney concerning the riot, have met with such prompt response that the authorities are encouraged in the be lief that the better elements of the community are aroused to the danger which threatens them unless the mob spirit is quenched. Help has also come from unexpected quarters In that several proprietors of resorts In the "black belt" neighborhood have come forward with Information that It is expected to prove of value.

Selby Was on His Kettle from the Start. Visitors' Buns Are Partly Due to Errors. By outplaying the "Rejuvenated" Salt Packers at every turn, and by landing on Mr. George Tebeau's new $500 prize beauty, Mr. Roland Atchison, the Topeka team galloped away with the long end of a 4 to 2 score. The home talent took the lead right at the start and were never headed and In fact were never In anything like dan ger. Pitcher Selby's Aerial Act. No small amount of the praise for winning this game goes ta Pitcher Sel by who kept the Hutchinson swatters safe at every stage of the game. But Ave hits were elucidated from his de livery. Selby deserved a shutout, but an error by S. Olson and a base on balls In another Inning were responsi ble for the rungettlng of the visitors. Features of the game from the local standpoint were many. In the first place Red Davis did a little hitting that looked good to the fans. Four times Red went to the plate during the affray and the result in brief was a single, double, triple and a long fly to -etugrew. nanory Olson committed highway robbery on a hard one from Freese. Elijah Wooley made a long run in center field and pulled down one on Ivan Olson which looked good for at least two sacks. Cole slipped up in the ninth Inning and pulled one off the ground which Carlos Johnson ne gotiated and which under normal con ditions would have entitled him to a hit. And last but not least was a field ing stunt which Mr. Selby enacted in the box. He leaped high in the air and pulled down a high bouncer from Trainer's bat and prevented a score. It took the locals almost no time to start the winning of the game. In the first inning Cole started with a single to left field. Wooley's sacrifice sent Cole to second and when Red Davis put the ball out to deep center field for three bases Cole scored. Again in the second inning the locals did many things that attracted "the attention of the storekeepers. Jack Freese, Head Clown of the West ern ASBociauon, in Action. With one down Emory Olson singled and his brother took first when Train er booted the ball. After booting the ball Trainer, who is a Kansas "seml pro" heaved the ball against the grand stand and when normal conditions were re-established, the Olson clan was occupying third and second. Selby con trlbuted liberally towards winning his own game with a double to right field, which scored Olson Bros. And in the third, Davis started the works, with a single on a line over third base. And forthwith Red stole second. Abbott lifted one Just back of third base and Davis scored. A fast double play de prived the locals of further scoring in this Inning and during the rest of the game Atchison got into a better stride Tho invaders counted In the third and again in the fifth. In the third Pettlgrew started off with a trlnle. Even then It looked pretty had for the Packers to score. Casey rolled one down to E. Olson and Haas fanned but Johnson hit one to S. Olson and the little Swede made a poor throw to first. In the fifth inning with two down Sel by walked Casey. Haaa singled and Johnson hit a little infield hit which scored Casey. Dr. Jason Andrews appeared for the first time on the local lot. As usual the big doctor attracted a lot of atten tion. but he failed to get a hit. Don't wory though, Jay doesn't need them; he is batting about .400 and will get a plenty In the present series.

After about one minute and a half of fight ing in the second round last night Stanley Ketchel of Grand Rapids, Mich., knocked out Joe Thomas of this city with a shower of punches to the Jaw and body. In the first round Thomas landed a couple of punches to the body which seemed to give him confidence. Ketchel backed Thomas Stanle- KetoheL Who Wh into a corner, made a. half shift and caught Joe on the side 01 tne neaa with a hard left hand punch. Ketchel then feinted and sent in a fierce right hander on the stomach, putting Thomas down for the count of seven. When Joe arose Ketchel sent him down again with hard rights and lefts to the body and law. The gong saved Thomas from going out in this round. His right eye was entirely- closed from one of Ketchel's smashes. When Thomas toed the scratcn ror the second round It was only a ques tion of how long he could stand in front of the hurricane fighter from Michigan. Ketchel rushed Thomas and after a moment's sparring sent him to the canvas Tor the count of eight. Ketchel rushed Thomas to the ropes and ham mered him unmercifully about the head and body. Referee Smith had counted nine over him when Captain Anderson of the police department motioned Smith to stop the encounter. Thomas had absolutely no chance to continue the fight. Ketchel was a ten to four favorite. PAPKE DEFEATS BURKE. Had All the Best of the "Sailor' tn Six Rough Rounds.

Drastic Measures to Stop Baseball Betting at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Aug. 19. As a result of the crusade recently started by President Johnson of the American ipped Thomas Last Night. league, gambling has been stamped out effectually in the Athletics bail park here. The change is a welcome surprise to the fans, who have been annoyed by the bettors who occupied a section Just behind the visiting players' bench. When the local team returned home on Friday Manager Mack had a score of detectives scattered through the grand stand, while along the front and back of. the stands were lines of po licemen. Scared by these preparations, the gamblers remained quiet, although a few took a chance on making wagers. These were promptly ejected and threatened with arrest for further offenses. The majority of these habitual bet tors are known to the club officials and hereafter will be refused admission. FOREIGN CARS COMING. European Reports Show Twenty-two i-.iiines at (savannah. New York. Aug. 19. Official reports from France advise that 22 foreign en tries have already been made for the grand prize of the Automobile Club of America, scheduled for Thanksgiving day, at savannah. Besides these six others are probable. Nine of the best known American makes will be repre eented in the contest, although the en trants have so far concealed their identity. The proposed small car race to take place the day before the grand prize has excited much favorable com ment from the small car makers of this country, and two of these have each announced their intention of entering three cars apiece as soon as the entry blanks are issued. In the grand prizes, three each of the following cars have been entered from France, Panhard, Clement-Bayard, Renault, Motobloc, and De Diet rich; total, 15. From Germany has come an entry of two Mercedes and two Benz; total, 4. Italy has entered three Flats, and the official report of the Automobile Club de France states that It Is probable that three Issota and three Itala cars will be entered. For politic reasons the American en trants are for the time being keep ing their plans secret; but a member of the Automobile Club of America, who recently made a tour of the factor ies found that work was already being advanced upon cars for the race, which will be specially constructed to con form to the piston area requirement. Three Fords and three Stoddard Dayton cars are promised for the small car race, by Mr. Ford and Mr. Stoddard. Both makers are enthusias tic over the prospect and loud in their praise of the Automobile club for un dertaking so wise a project. Mr. Stod dard said that the plan to hold a race for small cars refutes all ideas and untrue reports' that the Automobile "club is catering to importers at the expenses of the American trade.

Jack O'Conner. the St. Louis Brown scout, will arrive in Topeka Saturday and will watch the local team perform.

Trainer, the new second baseman of the Packers who comes from the brush, failed to show any class yesterday. He had one easy fielding chance and handled it cleanly but on a ground ball he. made a miserable showing. And he didn't hit at all. Murphy, another brush graduate who was signed by the. Packers to replace Jay Andrews, has Jumped his Job, find ing life in the Western association a proposition too strenuous. Doc Andrews is about the bummlest third baseman seen on the local dia mond this year. It Is quite clear why Hutchinson let him out. Enid Eagle. Let's see, the same Doc Andrews made twelve trips to the plate during the series at Enid, and secured six hits, making a batting average of .600. Bum work, that Is. The Joplin Globe says that Trivett. the new Hutchinson pitcher, is th4' wildest seen in that town this season.. He must be pretty bad, if he can beat Beckenbaugh for the latter gave To peka ten walks in one game. Charles Brooks, the little outfielder of the Joplin team who was signed by Baker simply because he was a friend of Paul Cobb, has been turned over to Enid, by the Miners. He needs a lot of seasoning. The Louisville team has bought Pitcher Dick Kaufman from Spring field, Hayden receiving a thousand dollars for Dick. Kaufman has left for Kansas City to Join the Night Riders. The sale of Wanner to the St. Louis Browns has provoked no little dis--cussion since the price was said to have been $2, E00. It is the general verdict that Wanner Isn't worth it. His fielding is what brought the. price, and Wanner is sometimes a sensational fielder. But he has two faults that have been evident every time he plays in Topeka. One of these is that he can't start a double play. He is a sure fielder and covers lots of ground but when he has a chance to get two men Instead of one he fails. And the worst fault about him is that he is what is commonly known as a quitter. When the Miners are tagging along in the rear Wan- ner puts up a listless, bum game. All -his good work is done when ther Miners are ahead. 1, Roland Atchison, the Hutchinson southpaw, has been sold to the Kan sas City Blues for $500. He will re port o Monte Cross at the end of the Western association season. He ought to make good easily. Dick Cooley has arranged a series of games with the Kansas City Blues, three of which will be played in To peka at the end of the season. The dates as agreed upon will be Septem-. ber 25, 26 and 27. The Cooleysox will also play a series in Kansas City. Omaha will play here sometime after the season ends. The Omahogs are generally conceded the Western league pennant winners and a series between these two teams would be of more than passing interest. This paper a few days ago errone--ously stated that Spec Hurlburt had been released by the Wichita team, but the information at hand was incorrect. Spec retired from the Wichita team of his own accord in order to look after, his farming Interests at Maple Hill. Hurlburt still belongs to the Wichita team and Manager Jack Holland would welcome him with open arms. Hurl burt has played great ball for Wichita, -but announces that he is through with baseball. The Joplin News-Herald Is bewail ing the present class of the Joplin team. The sporting column is filled with little paragraphs some of which are pathetic. Here are a few of them: Joplin has been in the Western asso ciation four years. Prior to that her fans dished out their coin dally to Missouri Valley league, baseball for two seasons. But Joplin has never won a pennant Often times it seemed Joplin would take a pennant. Occasionally she would get on top and occasionally fall Into the cellar. But at the end of the season somebody else would cop the rag But life or death the Joplin fans would like to see a rag land in the local barnyard, and with a little strengthening it Isn't too late yet for the Miners to get In. on the calico. .Somebody whis pered that it ruins a town for base-, ball to give It a pennant that it would kill the sport in Joplin if she got a pennant. .-".Give us some pitchers, some real pitchers, who can, put the ball over In a pinch and keep from being batted out of the lot. PENALIZING THE TROTTERS. High Ball. Sonoma Girl and Sweet Marie Most Heavily Handicapped. Boston, Aug. 19. Handlcappers de-: voted the entire day and evening to the task of penalizing the 73 trotters entered in the $50,000 American trot ting derby to be decided at Readvlile on Tuesday, August 25, and the result of their work was announced last night. The race Is for a mile and a quarter, one dash. Of the big purse $30,000 will go to the winner. In handicapping the horses records did not necessarily govern, as trotters known not to be up to their ecord were treated accordingly. At the 1 mils mark were placed those considered up to racing a mile in 2:15 and no horse was handicapped to be slower than that time. At intervals of 60 feet are set the different marks back from the 1 mile post. In. the opinion of tha handlcappers each 60 feet represents one second of time in placing the faster trotters in the rear of the slower ones Highball, Sonoma Girl and Sweet Marie were given the biggest penalty by the. handlcappers, each atartlnc back at the 2:05 mark.

Hager Soundly With a Rawhide. I,eavenworth. Aug. 19. Vernon Hager. a collector, was soundly horse whipped by an Irate woman, Mary Glennon 01 711 North Third street, wh6 became enraged at the presenta tion of a bill. For several moments blows fell thick and fast upon the unfortunate man's head, until he finally sought refuge In flight. Excitement ran high throughout the neighborhood and at the woman's shrill voiced Invectives the whole neighborhood turned out to witness the strange sight of a woman wielding a whip so handily. Hager made no outcry only trying to ward off the blows. Mrs. Glennon declined to make any statement regarding the affair when Interviewed. According to the story told by Hager. the attack was entirely un provoked. He states that he had been at the house several times to collect 7 tfands about the neck, weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions, running sores and ulcers, skin diseases, and general poor health, are the usual ways in which fVv .J9 "amfested-, Th? disease being deeply intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting m White Swelling, or hip disease, and the scrofulous ?v V2I?U, mattr 80 thoroughly destroys the healthful properties of the blood that bcrolula sometimes terminates in consumption, an incurable disease.

WATCHING THE MOTHER'S HOME Sleuths Still Think Savage's Mail Pouch Fund Is in I 'a veil worth. Leavenworth. Aug. 19. That the remaining portion of the $50,000 stolen from a mail pouch in the Union station at Kansas City, Mo., was concealed in Leavenworth by Charles Savage, the negro porter who is now in jail at Warrensburg, Mo., charged with the robbery, is the con viction of the secret service men who have been watching the home of Mrs. Sarah Williams, colored, mother of tho suspect. The house Is at 1204 South Second street. For the past month it has been constantly under the attention of one of the three secret service men now working on the case in Leavenworth. They have searched the house, the garden, every inch of the property, for some hint of the stolen treasureJ which they think is buried there, but in vain. In the jail Savage led as much a life of luxury as possible. He sent out to the restaurants for his meals, and dined in his cell like a king. It was observed that he always got his money when his mother visited him, although she was not seen to give it to him. They began to follow her movements closer and discovered that she always came to Leavenworth and that she undoubtedly got the money here. Try as they may it has thus far been Impossible for them to find that money if it is concealed here. That it is here is certain say the detectives who are keeping a vigil of not hours, but weeks, to find it. Some weeks ago when the secret service men thought they had closed In on Savage's mother when she had the money in her possession the little house on South Second street was searched for the first time. The detectives were rewarded by finding three valises elegantly and expensively fitted with toilet sets of silver and gold. MUCH WHEAT TO MARKET. The Mills and Elevators of Reno County Are Busy. Hutchinson, Aug. 19. The ele vators and mills have handled more wheat this year in the same length of time than they ever have in previous years. This is partly due to the big crop this year but the truth of the matter is that after threshing began, which was about a month ago, there was only about three rains to stop the machines during all of that time. There are from fifty to seventy-five car loads of wheat handled by the elevators here every day. About 1,200 barrels of flour are also made each day from this wheat. Somewhere near all of this is shipped out of the state. There are three big mills of large capacity here now which are in operation and the largest flour mill west of the Mis sissippi river is located here and will soon be in operation. STOLE 800 CHICKENS. Thieves Have Been Busy at the Amos Home Near Iola. Iola, Aug. 19. The farmers from the Carlyle neighborhood north of the city report that chicken thieves have been very active within the past sev eral weeks.

The rob- THE CUBE FOB SCROFULA 1 bers have visited the Amos home at different times since and altogether they have taken about 800 chickens. In spite of the efforts of everyone in the community aided by the authorities, no trace of the robbers can be secured. Several times they have gone to houses in broad day light and run down the chickens. However, they usually work at night. A SUGAR AND ALFALFA MILL.

Democrat National Committee Will Give Aid Where Needed. Chicago. Aug. 19. The Democratic congressional situation was the subject matter of an extended conference here between national Chairman Mack and Congressman James L. Lloyd, chairman of the Democratic congres sional committee, after which it be came known the Democratic national committee would not only co-operate with the campaign committee, wherever best but would render any financial aid necessary. The two com mittees have worked heretofore har moniously as separate organizations. Congressman Lloyd told Chairman Mack that the prospects were bright for the election of a Democratic con gress and with proper aid from the national committee many Democratic congressional districts formerly re garded as safely Republican would be found this year to be Democratic. Chairman Mack told Mr. Lloyd that the national committee could be de pended upon to give any assistance required. State Senator Timothy L. Sullivan of New York, who is returning- from a visit to Seattle, where he attended a convention of the Eagles, called on Chairman Mack today. "Everywhere I have found the sen timent strong for Bryan," said Sena tor Sullivan. "New Tork will be for Brvan and we will elect a Democratic state ticket from the governor down. I don't know who the Democrats will nominate for governor but I hope tt will be Lieutenant Governor Chanler. I heard reports out west that Tam many hall would not be for Bryan. That is not so, the hall is always regu lar for that Is the secret of Its strength. Were our bitterest enemy on the Democratic ticket the hall would work harder than ever to over come any suggestion of Irregularity. Tammany hall will never teach its voters to scratch a ticket for it might come back to plague us." COSTS CITY A MILLION. Repair of School Buildings In New York a Big Item. New York, Aug. 19.

He has been trusted here and in Washington for a quarter of a century. You know well that without respect to Darty he has considered this whole district as his constituency and with rare promptitude has done all that was possible and proper for innumerable persons. He has represented us all. And we are sure that his vigilance and Influence will have exceptional value in the higher place, that his ex pert discretion and firmness will not only give prestige to his presidency of the senate, but will uplift the position itself.

It is usually the starting point of graver SLnnnBFDcm troubles. The child becomes constipated, or gets STIiUP PEPSIn Indigestion. Perspiration is interfered with, worms develop, the skin becomes scaly and Itchy, and the poor child is hi much mis ery. Do not let It go, and trust to hick or fate for a core. Cae a remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrnp Pepiin, which is Intended to care that very condition and i especially adapted to children's ills became of its mildnesa and parity. If the child has any of these symptoms, or has not had patsaare in 24 hours, it needs Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin at once.

Superintendent Fairoliild Shows Pre ponderance of Women at Institutes. State Superintendent E. T. Fairchild made an interesting heport Tuesday to the annual conference of county su perintendents in the supreme court room, on the wprk of the teachers' In stitutes which have been held in Kan sas during the present summer. The report showed that the total number enrolled in the institutes was 11,005, of which 1,688 were men and 9.317 were women. The average age of the members was 20 5-7 years. Out of the number, 4,674 have had no ex perience as teachers, and 6,993 out of the lot had no certificates to teach. There were 1,104 members who had done work in study above the high school grade, and 3,038 who were high school graduates. There were 1,772 who had not completed the work of the eighth grade in school. There were 5,038 teachers in rural schools in attendance at the institutes. Of the number of teachers present, 703 at tended some summer school this sum mer other than the institute. Mr. Fairchild's report also shows that the whole number of common school graduates for the year ending June 30, 1908, was 7,601. There are. about fifty county superin tendents in attendance at the confer ence, and it is expected that this will increase to upwards of 75. This morn ing Mr. Fairchild delivered the open ing address, and there were reports on the progress of school consolidation, led by Superintendent J. V. Colville of Wichita. This evening there will be an address by John R. Kirk of Kirksville. Mo. In announcing this meeting today Mr. Fairchild said: "Don't be led astray by the many at tractions of this very attractive city, and forget to attend the evening ses sion of this conference."

J., while in the woods of that vicinity with friends, found a diamond ring valued at $350. Her attention was drawn to a bird's nest at the foot of a tree and thinking it had been wantonly thrown to the ground, by some small boy, picked It up. In the nest was the ring. It is set with four diamonds of rare brilliancy. A Jeweler says It Is worth $350. The nest was that of a blackbird and It Is supposed the bird carried the ring there. Alone.

Caruso has eloped. Quite a few champions of the "pee pul" are frlsklna; about these days. Debs, Watson, Hearst and a few others seem determined to divide the honors In this regard with Bryan and Taft. Considerable Impetus has been given to Mr. Taft's chance for elec tion. Cervera, the Spanish admiral, who bowed In defeat before Admiral Schley at Santiago Bay, announces that he Is for the Republican candi date. Ever are things In Arkansas, ques tionably famous as the home of Jeff Davis, an 'United States senator, run ning from the sublime to the ridicu lous. Two girls have Just been indicted there on a charge of disturbing pub lic worship because they tittered in church. The Democrats must have an untold quantity of spellbinding material this year because Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri has been booked for only two speeches a day from Septem ber 1 until the eve of election. Champ Is capable of at least a dozen speeches a day as well as Innumerable talks sandwiched in between them. Prince Eitel, son of Emperor Wil liam of Germany, saws wood and does gardening as a cure for obesity. This may be an efficacious remedy but it will hardly become a popular one. Most fat folks would prefer to worry along with their fleshy Increments rather than attempt to work them off In any such as strenuous way. A special grand Jury has been im panelled at Springfield. 111., to admin ister Justice In connection with the horrible race war that has prevailed within the city famed in history as the home of Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator of the negro race. This body should see to it that the ring leaders of the riots are compelled to pay a heavy price for Springfield's shame. It's not known whether President Roosevelt will treat the Hons of Africa In the way he has been wont to handle coyotes and wolves, that is, riding up with them, grabbing them by the throat and choking them to death. But he'll have to treat the lions in some equally familiar way or the laurels for huntin- them will go to Buffalo Jones. This Kansas character Intends to go to South Arrica and In dulge in the pastime of roping wild lions with lassos. As the time for the great state fair to be held In Topeka approaches the evidence la piling up on every hand that It is to be the banner event of its kind that has been held in Kansas In years. And it means that the coming legislature will take cognizance of it and take such steps as are necessary to establish an actual and permanent state fair to be held in Topeka yearly a state fair that will be adequate for Kansas ana commensurate in every way with the wonderful agricultural demands of this state. The riots Incident to the recent clash between the whites and the blacks of Springfield, 111., and which have resulted in the high crimes of murder and arson, are not only a ter- rlble blot on the civilization of this country. They are also the cause of much uneasiness In every section of the land where any number of negroes live when they call forth admonitions like the one delivered by a negro preacher In Chicago to the effect that the negroes all over should arm them selves for their self protection. This preacher and others like him should be squelched In short order. It' small wonder from the figures he has In his possession that Francis E. McGovern, the Republican candi date for United States senator from Wisconsin is an ardent tariff reformer, He had statistic to show that daring the past tea year an aggregat of fly billion dollars has been unnecessarily taken from the consumers of the eountry through the tariff for the benefit of the already rich. This mean that $0 haa been taken from each man, woman and child In the United States more than was neces sary and adequate to protect Ameri can Industry. OTHER WORLD MESSAGES. A good many people have undoubt edly been reading with exceptional In terest an article on messages from the other world contributed to the August Harper's by Sir Oliver Lodge, an Eng lish scientist of great distinction who has long been interested in matters of psychical research. Sir Oliver, In this article, virtually states his belief that psychical research Investigation has produced evidence of communication with the other world which, when It is perfected, will come pretty close to proving the truth of such messages. What Sir Oliver Lodge has to say deals rather with methods than with researches. The really great stumbling block Is In the matter of identity, as in many cases which seem to be con vincing of messages as coming from a personality known on earth, and ap parently the same personality on the other side of the grave, may be ex plained by telepathy. How Is such Identity to be proved? By "cross-correspondence" says Sir Oliver, and he explains: "Cross-correspondence that Is, the reception of part of a message through one medium and part through another is good evidence of one In telligence dominating both automa tes. And If the message ia charac teristic of some one particular deceas ed person, and ta received through people to whom he was not Intimately known, then It la fair proof of the con tinued Intellectual activity of that per sonality." It Is very evident that If the person who has passed away sends half a message through one medium and the other half of the same message through another medium, the two not knowing each other and perhaps be ing separated by even the Atlantic ocean, and if Such a use of "cross-correspondence" is proved conclusively to any fairminded persons as an actual fact. It would be pretty difficult for even the most skeptical of skeptics to deny that the person sending such message .did live and that he was sending such a message. Most peo ple, however, will wait till this con vincing testimony has been submitted to competent investigators before ac cepting as possible, or even probable, the "cross-correspondence" possibility as virtually promised by Sir Oliver Lodge. incidentally, the fact that a man who is as eminent a scientist as Sir Oliver Lodge, with the consent, doubt less, of other persons of sanity and eminence in various lines, could se riously put forth, aa a possibility of the near future such a proposition as this, goes to show how strong an Impression haa been made by tele pathy what used to be called spirit' ualism on those in whom people would ordinarily have confidence. Ever since man developed from the lower animals, according to one theory, into the sort of a being of which there is any history he has been seeking com munication with the other world. At times man has accepted revelations of such communications as authentic. only to have later and more scientific Investigation set them aside as decep tive or illusive. For this reason it is the general belief that the secret of the universe will never be discovered through anything approaching scien tific method, but will be left to realiza tion through the spirit of faith. If, indeed. Sir Oliver Lodge and his fel low-workers in psychical research are at last to prove that science and not faith will reveal the other world, they will create the most far-reaching revo lution imaginable In the general con ception of life and of the universe. CANADA'S TRANSPORTATION. Canada may abandon the project of a Georgian bay canal on the report of the engineers who found that it would cost 100 million dollars to make a ship canal route from the lakes to the St. Lawrence at Montreal by way of the French river and the Ottawa and that a ship's progress through its 400 and odd miles would probably be slower than by way of the Welland canal and the open lakes. But, tne country s mind Is set on some improvements that will provide an outlet and inlet for the trade In her own products and as much of this country's as may be diverted by water transportation facilities that It has not. and cheaper freight rates than the railroads of this country can afford to work for. And so, the new Welland canal, parallel to the present one, a 30 million dollar project, is more than likely to be taken (n hand as soon as possible. It Is to be wider and deeper than the present Welland canal, so as to afford accommodation to vessels larger than can pass through that, and allow them to go down to Montreal at least with cargoes taken on at Fort William the westernmost point of loading on Canada's Lake Superior shore; though as transshipment of goods constitutes a material item in the cost of trans portation, nothing Is more certain than that the Dominion will never halt in the movement to better its facilities until It has devised a means of send lr.g goods abroad without transship ment. That is the Idea at the base of the project to construct a railroad from all the western grainflelds to Hudson Bay. Ships able to carry large car goes and travel fast would then start from the point to be determined on where a good harbor can be found, of course; and crossing the bay, would pass through the Hudson strait onto the Atlantic ocean, and so reach Eur ope by a route much shorter than that from New Tork and other' ports on this side of the Atlantic. Such rout would be open during the time of the grain trade at all events and news dispatches say that the first step toward the building of a railroad to Hudson Bay will be taken thla week with the departure of a sur veying party of 100 men from Winne peg to locate the route of the proposed railway; and that the survey Is to be pushed. It Is expected that the gov ernment will receive the report of the chief surveyor In January. This will enable legislation to go through so that the construction may begin next year. JOURNAL ENTRIES One straw ride la generally quite enough for most grown-up. It's too bad that It's impossible for man to appreciate his own widow' charms. When a fellow never applauds any thing at a play set him down aa a critic, or a would-be one. e e It cannot be said of a girl who wins breach of promise suit that she has loved and lost. Contrary to the usual ran of things the mule accomplishes most by putting his best foot backward. J AY HAWKER JOTS The Salina Journal call attention to the fact that for some cause or other fewer 60-pound catgsh are being caught this summer than formerly. Here' a note of warning to youth ful, and other fishermen in the state. Two Chanute lad were arrested the other day for using a seine and the fines and costs assessed against them amounted to 120. The first college paper Issued at the University of Kansas wa during the academic year 1876-7. Charles S. Gleed, a director of the Santa Fe rail road. A. C. Scott, president of Okla homa Agricultural college, and G. W. Hapgood, students at that time, were at the head of the undertaking. The Concordia Blade has awarded the cake to Allen Laing on high prai rie nay. He nas a farm three miles south of that town and the other day ne Drougnt to the Blade office a bunch of the original blue stem prairie hay which measure seven feet and three Inches in length. Eldorado ia having a building boom. In addition to the new hundred thous and dollar courthouse in course of construction, there are five new two story brick business houses to be built at once. A new Baptist church and a number of residences are also in the course of construction. Norton has a band. In the band is musician named Zenie Smith. He has written a piece with a name sug gestive of one of Kansas' famous crops. It is called the "Cotton-Tall Two Step." The band is practicing the piece and will play it in public soon. Therefore, there's considerable excitement among the musically in clined of Norton. Evidently becoming tired of telling each other about the size of their sub scription lists and bragging on them accordingly some of the newspapers in the smaller cities of the state have turned their remarks to the size of their monthly postage bill and it's not unusual for one of them to announce now that its postage bill amounts to more than the postage bill of all the competing newspapers combined. Soon there will be something to ee at Lawrence. The sites of historic in terest in and about Lawrence are to be identified and marked. The Univer sity of Kansas has taken step to place a marble slab 18x24 inches at the northeast corner of the present isidridge House to mark the site of the old Free State hotel burned In 856. A granite block with a sloping upper surface will be placed near the home of Prof. F. H. Hodder on Louis iana street to mark the site of ex Governor Robinson's first Kansas home. The marker for the site of the barracks and trenches built in 1863 will be placed on the University cam pus in front or Franer hall. Other his toric points will be designated. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Thousands of men have talked of shooting automobllists, but ao far no one has done it. If a man owns a horse and buggy. his wife may claim that she is abso lutely impartial, but it la always her Kin sne takes riding. "This sitting for days In the shape of the letter S." said a man the other day. "is not as enjoyable as believed by those who have never traveled."-. What has become of the old-fash toned woman whose idea of wild ex travagance was for a child to wear its Sunday shoes on a week day? If the children look with suspicion at a caller, it indicates that they are accusing the caller of having come because he heard the ice cream freez er. When a woman ia called to the deathbed of a friend, she put a party dress in her trunk. "My friend might get wen," sne says noperully to her self aa she packs It. When undertakers' chairs are piled In front of a house waiting for the wagon to come along and take them away, a stranger passing by Is In doubt if the prize was a fancy plate at bridge wnist, or a golden crown at a funeral. An Atchison woman asks The Globe the meaning of Theosophy. The word means nothing at all. Santa Claua has no existence merely because of a word in the dictionary describing people who believe In him. In its broadest sense, Theosophy means those men arid women who claim to be TheosophlstS because ho one can prove they are not. A Theosophist contends that he communes with God and the superior spirits, and, although every man of Intelligence laughs at him, he looks wise, and mutters some thing about the persecution of thq.se in advance of the age. A Theosophist is a little smarter than a spiritualist in this: He refuses to make the test of rapping on tables, knowing he would be caught If he did. If a Theosophist eats cheese at night, and haa bad dreams, he tells long stories about them, and speaks learnedly of the wonders of the human mind. One of the wonders of the human mind Is that occasionally yon find one so dwarfed that it believes in Theosophy. There Is a negro in Atchison who sells ignorant negroes "huberdust," which he claims will do all sorts of wonder ful things when sprinkled on enemies. The negro who bellevea in "huber dust" is no more ignorant than the white man who believes In Theosophy. Theosophy 1 exactly like "huberdust la that it wont wore KANSAS COMMENT DON'T HUNT A PUBLIC JOB. Young man, keep out of politics as a business. The best rewards of life are In other departments of endeavor. The ambition to be a great statesman is laudable enough. The itching for pub lic applause la a natural appetite and grows mightily through indulgence. But the political life is Vainglorious. Its victories are all at the expense of some other man's defeat. Its Joys are all supplemented by some other man's grim sorrow. The task im posed by nolltleal success is exacting, the substantial rewards are meager, the life to which it leads Is feverish and the end never satisfies the appetite. The real prise is never won. The higher the office sought the greater distance is the fall and the more it hurts. The time to enter politics is after success has come In more sub stantial lines. When you enter politics ao n ior the public good or ior tne fun you can sret out of it: not for the Job. Don't be dependent upon the pub lic ror a political living because me public is fickle, ungrateful and intense ly cruel. Just about the time a states man of any degree thinks he has the public coming his way he is in the gravest danger, when he get the self satisfied look in his eye and imagines the public is mmlnz uo to eat out of his hand, she catches an attractive note in some stranger' voice ana leave the old servant Just aa he think his fortune is a ripening. The public wants a man to keep humble, and suc cess and humility do not go hand in hand. Therefore to be a success you must be a failure; to be happy you must be miserable. This isn't the way to live and be useful. Stick to busi ness. Vote for the best men who are foolish enough to offer themselves as public sacrifices, keep the highest pos sible average in the public servant and you'll find the best rewards in private life. By following thla course you will live longer and be happier on election night, as well as all the other nights. Wichita Beacon. NEWSPAPER MEN IN POLITICS. The newspaper men of Kansas are faring quite well, thank you, these days In a political way. D. R. Anthony, of the Leavenworth Times, Victor Mur dock of the Wichita Eagle. Chas. F. Scott of the Iola Register, are In con gress: J. L. Bristow of the Salina Jour nal, is the Republican nominee for the United States senate. George Tucker, who made a successful, if losing, race for congress against Miller, is editor of the Eureka Herald. Tom McNeal, elected state printer, is editor of the Mail and Breeze. W. A. White, who was in Bristow's corner during the late scrap, is editor of the Emporia Gazette, while W. Y. Morgan, who did a similar service for Senator Long, is editor of the Hutchinson News. There are quite a number of newspaper men, the voters must remember, who are still unprovided for. Iola Record. FROM OTHER PENS RESTRICTIVE LAWS NOT NEEDED The governors whose conference at the White House haa already resulted in the appointment of separate state conservation committees, will not make the mistake, we think, of urging restrictive laws instead of providing for the distribution of economic fact. Private owners of the country's r sources, if ignorant of the means of conserving them, will proceed obstin ately In spite of hampering laws. lr the Investigations of government ex perts can show them that their inter est is uniformly Identical with the state's interest, and that the methods of protection suggested would enhance the value of their property, every goo a purpose would be served. The governors nave tnus rar aaopt ed the principle that information should be supplied. They are taking stock of the resources of their states. In West Virginia the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company has Just bought 200,000 acres of hard woods, mostlv Doolar. cherry, oak. maple. Jbirch, and ash, which the directors of the road Intend shall be convertea into ties. A few months ago we might have nrnnheaied evil In this, a sale of tne first-growth forest. The stripping of BOO square miles of the Appalachians won Id mean destructive nooas tne annual rainfall here is 24 Inches de nuded soil, naked and unprofitable desolation. There are many sucn deso late areas In the south. But lumber men are adopting: more enngntenea forestry methods. Some of the rail road companies are actually planting forests covering thousands of acres. The officials of the Baltimore and Ohio probably know tnat, Dy leaving the smaller trees and providing for re production by seed trees, their source of ties will become perpetual. They will learn gratefully of the new and better methods for bringing this about. New York Time.

That very latest addition to the British empire, Coetivy island. Is not the smallest single bit of territory reigned over by King Edward. f or coetivy. although little more than a chunk of volcanic rock, dump ed down by nature in the middle of the Indian ocean, Is between eight and nine square mile in extent; and this, for a desert island, is quite a respec- taoie size. It is, for instance, at least ten times as big as Pudding island, in the Tonga group, which is, by latest reports, less tnan a mile in circumference. The area of this latter, too, is gradually di minishing, owing to the disintegration and subsidence of the coral base on which it stands. It derives its curious name from it striking resemblance to the top half of- a pudding, the barrier reef which entirely surrounds It stand ing for the rim of the basin. Then, again, there is Beehive Island In the South Pacific, which rise from the center of a perfectly circular plat form to a height of four hundred feet. in a smooth dome-shaped hill of polished basalt, exactly resembling a beehive. Its area altogether is less than a thousand acres. Nevertheless, on the ledge surrounding the Inac cessible central dome, are some two hundred natives, who support them elves by fishing. Conway Island Is another curiosity in smallness. It is 6 feet above the water, and measure barely 180 yards In one direction by about 80 in an other. Ninepin island, near St. Paul's, in the Southern Indian ocean, is shaped exactly like a gigantic ninepin, and nobody has ever succeeded in climb ing to the top. But its total area can not exceed a few score acres. Hunter island ia another tiny portion of the British empire upon which no one has ever set foot, although It was discov ered by Capt. Fearn. of the Hunter, so long ago as 1798. It is an oblong block of volcanic rock, rising sheer from the sea to the height of 1.000 feet, and measures half a mile long by one-third of a mile In breadth.- Pearson' Weekly. New Use for Fort Brown. "Not a long while ago the name of Brownsville was on every tongue be cause of the memorable episode which resulted in the discharge of a battalion of colored soldiers stationed there; said Capt. D. B. Draper, of San An tonio, Tex. By reason of the unfortunate oc currence, the military post there was abandoned, and the old fort will never more house any of Uncle Sam a troop ers.

THE EVENING STORY Playing a Hunch. (By Colin S. Collins.) His name was James Gisman West- cott. but hi friends Insisted that the middle Initial stood for "Goat," for Jim's cheerful desire to be of service to his fellow man waa forever getting him into trouble. Hia misfortune In this regard had caused him to delay his declaration of love for Alma Sheldon. When a man. however innocently, is forever playing tne clown, he doe not stand aa excel lent chance of being regarded as a ro mantic and eligible person, matrimon ially. The worst of it wa that Jlmmie never learned by experience. He waa as ready as ever to change a ten dollar bin for a stranger after having been caught with a counterfeit the day be fore, and that he was not always wlndled was proof sufficient to him that the world was not always to be regarded with suspicion. And so it happened that when a strange woman on the suburban sta tion platform thrust a child in his arms and begged him to take it to her sister in the city. Jim accepted hi charge. I'd ask some lady to take him," ex plained the woman, "onlv there don't seem to be none going in on this train.- That's all right," wa westcott a cheerful response. "There will be some one on the train, if I need help with this little shaver, but he looks aa though he wa going to be aa good as gold." Followed by the woman's voluble thanks Jlmmie climbed aboard the train and hoped that none of his set would select the same car. He did not dare go near the smoker, so he ensconced himself in the rear seat of the last car and thanked his good fortune that the through train topped at the stations most favored by the people he knew. Those who. like himself, were going to the Tavor- Harding wedding, would prefer the ex cluslvenes of the Pullman carried on the more important train. The baby wa good-tempered ana v playful, and Westcott waa having the time of his life when the train came to a halt at the first station, and an in coming passenger uttered a shout and bore down upon him. It was Ben Roy- ster. with a party of wedding guests. Look who s here!" he shouted, at tracting the attention of his compan ions. "This la rich, Jim! I never sup posed that you would fall for the abandonment game." His mother is to meet me at tne station," explained Westcott, miser ably conscious of the fact that Miss Sheldon had boarded the train. "She couldn't afford the fare to come out and get the child. He's been having a vacation in the country at his aunt's because the hot weather in town is bad for him." 'That's a better story than the aver age." agreed his tormentor, -wnen you get to town, Jim, turn him over to the desk sergeant at tne nearest sta tion house. Tou'll be late for the wed ding by the time that you have ex nlained all about it." "How did you come to be on tnia train?" demanded Westcott. "I naa intended to run down to your station and take the express myself. Train was late and the stop was cut out," explained Ben Royster. "We kicked when we heard it, but we are glad now. I wouldn't have missed this for a million Pullman cars.- The noisy speech and the presence of the score of people crowding about Wentcntt'a neat roused the tiny travel er. His eyes wrinkled ana irom tne button of a. mouth there was emitted a yell which was scarcely heard above the delighted snouts or tne nine au dience.

HELD LIKE A VISE. Electric Current Passes Through Ray Challand on Street Car. Ray Challand of 1279 Mulvane street, a young man who is employed In the Santa Fe storehouse as clerk. had a narrow escape from electrocu tion at 1:15 this afternoon, while rid ing down town on a Washburn car. As the car turned onto Tenth from Jackson. the current was short circuited in some manner, owing to the rain on the wood and Iron work of the car. Challand, who was stand ing on the rear platform, grasped the upright iron back brace on the back of the car, and received a shock which knocked him down. A passen ger who saw him fall, attempted to raise him to his feet, but could not loosen his grasp from the iron bar. Challand was not unconscious, but paralyzed. One arm and one leg were drawn out of shape and one side of his face was twisted. The passen ger, whose name is not known, showed remarkable presence of mind, and with one sweep of his arm. yanked the trolley rope and cut off the cir cuit. Conductor Kinney, in charge of the car, claimed that it was impossible to receive a Jolt through the frame work of the car, but the passengers who witnessed the affair think differently, and Chullund probably does too. When the trolley was pulled Trom the wire. Challand's grip on the iron rod relaxed, and he fell to the floor. The Jolt was of sufficient force to prevent Challand from continuing on his way to his work. He was taken from the car at Eighth avenue, and a physician called to attend him. In a few min utes he recovered sufficiently to talk. He said that he was not unconscious at any time, but could not speak be cause he seemed to be paralyzed cn one aide, and that he made a strong effort to release his Angers from the iron brace.

The Edison company is readjusting its rates and the small commercial consumers will pay more. The follow ing statement by the company should be read carefully by all users of elec tricity in the city before arriving at a conclusion: "When we came into control of the Edison company about three years ago we found many consumers of the same class paying different rates, some of which were too low. but almost all of which were too high, and we at once set about to work out a uniform scale of rates one that would be fair alike to each class of consumers, and after careful consideration we fixed upon a net rate of 9 cents per kilowatt hour for residence use and 5 cents per kilowatt hour for commercial use An experience of more than two years with these rates has proven that in the main they have worked out satisfactorily both to the consumer and to us, but owing to the Increased cost of fuel, wages, taxes, and in fact almost every essential to the business, we find that we are serving one class of commercial consumers at a distinct loss, and that there are enough such consumers to make it necessary that some new but equitable rate should be established. We have therefore de cided that the following rates shall be effective for September bills: "Consumption per month in kilowatt hours: 1 to 20 hours. 9c; 20 to 100 Hc; 100 to 150, 7 tie- i sn tn inn jic. A discount of one-half cent per e gramea on prompt pay ment for service. "The present rate of 5 H cents gross, with H cent discount, making a net rate of 5 cents, will still applv to all consumers using 200 kilowatt hours per montn. "The present rate ot 7 V. eent o-vnaa with cent discount, making a net rate of 7 cents, will still apply for electric elevator service. "The present rate of 10 cents gross, with 1 cent discount, making a net rate of 9 cents, will still apply to all residence consumers. "In other words. no consumers whatever will be affected hv thia cnange except those commercial con sumers whose bills have been less tnan 10 per month. "If you are interested in knowing wneiner you are in the class affected by this change, and will call at our of fice, we will be glad to confer with you and if this is not possible call us up and we will come to see you. We are not attempting to bring about a gener al increase of rates but are merely trying to bring the charges to certain classes of consumers in line with the charges to other consumers, after an experience of more than two years In justification thereof.

Must Return to Kansas Says Governor Hoch. Application for Requisition Is Granted Today. THE CHARGE IS LIBEL. Mr?.. Ella G. Burton tbe Com plaining Witness. Former Superintendent Ar rested in Kansas City, Mo. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Gov ernor Hoch announced that he would grant the requisition on the Governor of Missouri for the return to Kansas of Insley Li. Dayhoff, former state su perintendent of public instruction, who is wanted by Sheriff Wilkerson of Shawnee county to answer to the charge of criminal libel, preferred by Mrs. Ella S. Burton. This action was taken after a hear ing in the governor's office which last ed for over an hour this forenoon. It Is understood that Mr. Dayhoff will now make a fight before Governor Folk, in an effort to prevent Governor Folk from honoring the requisition of the governor of Kansas. Governor Hoch made no extended explanation of his reasons for granting the requisition. He simply stated that it was customary, except in case of an extraordinary showing to the contrary, to grant requisitions. He held that there had been no extraordinary show- ng why the requisition should not be granted. Some have contended that Governor Hoch would be influenced by personal considerations, and would refuse to grant the requisition. Mr. Dayhoff was. to a certain extent, defending Governor Hoch from the attacks of Mrs. Burton, when he published the article which forms the basis for the criminal action. Dayhoff is at present in Kansas City. where he Is working in the advertising department of the Kansas City Star. There were two question checked up to Governor Hoch in the Dayhoff case which required his solution. The first was whether Dayhoff was a "fugitive from Justice," the second whether the criminal prosecution for libel was for the purpose of enabling Mrs. Ella S. Burton to collect her $3,000 Judgment for civil libel. In the argument of the case this morning, some sensational statements were made, indicating that Mrs. Bur ton was desirous of araggfng the American Book company into the controversy. C. A. Magaw. attorney for Mr. Day hoff. said: "After Mrs. Burton had se cured he.r Judgment against Mr. Day hoff. Mr. Burton came to me as representative of his wife, and wanted a letter te Mr. Dayhoff, so that she might go to Mr. Dayhoff in Kansas 'ity and try to get him to tell where he got his information which he printed. She seemed to think that the American Book company was respon sible, and I Judged was willing to compromise the Judgment or do al most anything to get the name of the party she wanted. In reply to this. James A. Trout man, who represented Mrs. Burton said: "Mrs. Burton believes that the attack in Dayhoff'a paper was in spired by the American Book com pany as part or tne campaign or Dersecutlon wnicn mat company naa titled that the libellous item had been made against her. Mr. Dayhoff tes sent to him through the mail, but de clined to state who had sent it. Mrs. Rurton wanted to find out who sent that item, and she asked me, after the civil case was decided, if it would be all right for her to talk to DayhofT about the matter. I advised her to go and see Mr. Magaw, the attorney for Davhoff. Mrs. Burton assured me In the Cartoon irom Chicago Tribune of his tomb, that she would offer and had offered no compromise or other inducements to get Dayhoff to tell, buz she realized that she had a Judgment which was probably worthless, and -wanted to try to get at the bottom of the false charges." "I don't think it would be natural," replied Judge Magaw, "for anyone to go to an opponent after a bitter law suit and try to persuade that opponent to divulge information. Just as a mat ter of accommodation. I don't know what Mrs. Burton offered Dayhoff, but it seems natural that she should offer not to begin criminal prosecution If he would give this desired informa tion. We hold that this criminal prosecution was started merely for the purpose of forcing Dayhoff to make certain concessions." Judge W. E. Atchison. assistant county attorney, was present at the hearing before Governor Hoch, and declared that it rested entirely with the county attorney's office that the criminal prosecution had not been commenced sooner. "About the time this article was printed," said Mr. Atchison, "Mrs. Burton came to County Attorney Schenck and wanted a complaint. Mr. Schenck didn't like to take up the case because there seemed to be some poli tics in it, and it was not certain that Mrs. Burton had a case. He advised her to bring a civil action, and if she could establish her case, he would then issue a complaint. Mrs. Burton did this, and got a Judgmeut. She at once renewed her application for a complaint, and after putting her off several times, Mr. Schenck felt that he could no longer refuse. But this Bhows clearly that Mrs. Burton was desirous of bringing criminal action from the outset, and that this charge is not trumped up for the purpose of assisting in the collection of her Judg ment." Mr. Magaw contended that since Dayhoff stayed in the state for six months after the libellous article was published, and then moved to Kansas City to engage in business, without any effort to conceal his whereabouts, he could not be considered as a "fugi tive from Justice." Mr. Troutman replied to this that any person accused of crime who goes to another state, and refuses to re turn, is in a legal sense a fugitive from Justice. An affidavit by Mr. Dayhoff was read, In which he stated that Mr. and Mrs. Burton had visited him In Kan sas City and threatened to bring crim inal proceedings unless he would pay the $3,000 Judgment. A counter affi davit was read from Mrs. Burton denying any such affair. She admit ted having visited Dayhoff in Kansas City, and tried to secure a settlement; but denied that the criminal prosecu tion was mentioned. Neither Mr. Dayhoff nor Mrs. Bur ton was present at the hearing. After listing to the arguments of the attor neys, Governor Hoch took the ques tion under advisement till 3 p. m.

Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, and special agent of the gov ernment department of agriculture, swore to a complaint against the Ro chester Brewing company of Kansas City, Missouri, for misbranding a car load of beer at Junction City. An action was filed in tne United States circuit court at 12 o'clock this morning by Judge, J. 8. West, assistant United States district attorney, calling for the confiscation of the car load of beer by the federal authorities. The beer is branded as containing less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol when analysis made under di rection of Dr. Crumbine at the state agricultural college by chemists shows 3.67 per cent of alcohol. Some of the beer, all of it bottled stuff, is not labeled at all, being without either brand or label. "This is only one of several car loads of beer that have been shipped to Junction City and sold to the soldiers at the encampment," said Dr. Crum bine. "Though the beer was being sold around as being nonlntoxicatlng the soldiers were getting drunk on it and Sheriff Andrews of Geary county had his suspicions aroused and pro curing a number of the bottles sent them to me for analysis. The. analysis showed 3V4 per cent of alcohol. The beer is mighty poor stuff. This is the first seizure to be made in the state under the government pure food act." The shipment of the car load which figures in the proceedings was dated August 17, 1908. at Kansas City and received at Junction City on the fol lowing day. It was sent over the M. K. T. railroad in a car bearing the number 14,549. In some manner an inkling of the action on the part of the federal auth orities reached the ears of Chas. Mc Gregor to whom the shipment was consigned and fearing trouble he has tily consulted an attorney and acting upon bis advice ret used to accept tne shipment. The car load of beer there fore remains intact on the tracks at Junction City. Appearing on some of the pint- bottles where labels exist is this: "A refreshing, invigorating drink. Containing less than 54 of 1 per cent alcohol. Adam's special. Manufactured by Rochester Brewing K. C. B. C. Kansas City, Mo. Guar anteed under the food and drug act, June 20, 1905. serial No. 55550." The petition filed In the United States circuit court asks for a process of attachment and seizure according to the form followed under maritime and admiralty Jurisdiction. If proven guilty of a violation of the law the goods will be destroyed and further than that no penalty will at tach to the manufacturers. The brewing company will probably furnish bond for otherwise the carload of beer will remain in the hands of the United States officials and it is probable that the brewing company would prefer to keep their product in storage at their own plant than per mit it to remain in storage at some other point.

The Nether lands government is inclined for the present to adopt a waiting attitude, but it is ready to take energetic steps whenever the developments of the sit uation demand. It has been agreed to push all nec essary preparations in order to sup port an ultimatum should it be de cided to forward one to President Cas tro.

NO SORE SPOTS OX AUSTIN. Intends to Try For State Printer Of' flee Again. W. C. Austin, of Cottonwood Falls. late candidate for state printer, is in Topeka today talking with the politi cians about the addition of a plank to the Republican platform providing for state publication of blank books fof county offices. I shall have a plank of this sort ready by the time the party council meets, said Mr. Austin, "and will urge its adoption. It is a matter in which the counties are greatly inter ested, because they all spend a vast amount of money in blank books. We need a uniform system of accounting in Kansas, in all county offices, so that the same books can be used in all of fices. We should also have a more uni form system of accounting in our state institutions, and the state should print the blank books for them all. "In order to do this work, an addi tion would be required to the state printing plant. The plant Is already working to the limit of its capacity, and It would be necessary to make considerable additions to the bindery. I figure that it would take about 115. 000 worth of machinery to enable the state to print its own blank books, and In addition to this tne cost or the ad dition to the building. Possibly $50, 000 would cover the expense, and the saving would amount to many thous ands of dollars a year." There are no sore spots on Mr. Aus tin as a result of his defeat for the nomination. He says he will be a can didate for the same office two years hence. Short-Iivrd Doctors.

The general practitioner tells you to eat regularly and sleep seven or eight hours every night. He recommends change of air and scenery now and then.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUH1TAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1903.

Miss Henrietta Alexander, Miss Edna Hopkins and Miss Mary MacLennan today at the home of Miss Alexander's grandmother, Mrs. Jane B. Thompson, 1014 Topeka avenue. About 150 invitations were extended and twenty girl friends were asked to assist. Miss Alexander, Miss Hopkins and Miss MacLennan will give a picnic supper tonight on Mrs. Thompson's lawn for about fifteen couples in com pliment to their visitors. The social game: After a number of seasons with the outlaws a Topeka chap who only recently returned to the organized leagues is batting over .300 and attracting the attention of all the fans. They are talking about n umpire's job for one old sport who, ver since he lost out in the big leagues, has been slipping steadily back and was recently released by the Gum Chewers. a semi-pro bunch with which he had caught on and had hoped to finish the season. It Is said of a certain chap wiio talks a lot about his performances, but has never been known to deliver the goods, that he leads the batting In the Radiator League. "That chap." said a girl today, Indicating a man who has rush ed a number of girls up to the minute of their marriage to his rivals, "would never have stuck in fast company ex cept for his sacrifice hits." The first Wednesday dinner-dance will be given tonight at the Country club. Table d'hote dinners with music followed by dancing will be given regularly on Wednesdays as well as Saturdays for the rest of the season. jft m Mr. and Mrs. C. G.

I No matter how well we like them we are always glad to see the last of "company." On account of last night's rain the West Side Forestry club's social at Willow park has been postponed until Friday night. The Sophomore who is 21 and seorned by girls of 19 because he is "too young" wants to know where the Idea originated that girls are older than men of the same number of years. "I protest," said the Sophomore "against the Idea that those silly girls of my own age and less experience and education are more mature than I." "My dear," said his Mother Confessor, "the idea against which you protest means only this: That a girl Is old enough to marry, and her family is anxious to be rid of her, before a man of the same age can earn money enough to support her. You have no doubt noticed that If a chap has mon ey he Is not too young for girls of his own age or from two or five years his seniors."

It has been said by a physician that most diseases are the result of Indigestion. There's undoubtedly much truth in the statement, even to the cause of many unsightly eruptions, which may suppose can be removed by applying some remedy on the outside. By changing her food a Kan. girl was relieved of an ecxema which was a great annoyance to her. She writes: "For five months I was suffering with an eruption on my face and hands which our doctor called eczema and which caused me a great deal of Inconvenience. The suffering was al most unbearable. "The medicine I took only gave me temporary relief. One day I happened to read somewhere that eczema was caused by indigestion. Then I read that many persons had been relieved of Indigestion by eating Grape-Nuts. "I decided to try it. I liked the taste of the food and was particularly pleased to notice that my Indigestion ws improving and that the eruption was disappearing as if by magic. I had at last found. In this great food, something that reached my trouble. "When I find a victim of this afflction I remember my own former suffering and advise a trial of Grape Nuts food instead of medicines."

Argentine Is asking Kansas City, Mo., for water. Argentine isn't crying for water, but admits its present system is unsatisfac tory. Charles W. Green, mayor of that city, laid the matter before the Kansas City board of public works yesterday. Mayor Green estimated that the re quirements of his city would be about 200,000 gallons a day. For this Kan sas City would receive about $750 a month, with practically no outlay of money. W. G. Goodwin, chief engi neer of the water department, said that under the new charter Kansas City has a right to sell water to other towns, and E. C. Meservey city coun selor, was of the informal opinion that one city could enter into a contract to supply water to the other. Such a contract, he said, would have to be ratified by the councils of both cities. AX ENGLISH GOLFER COMING. H. W. Beverldge Will Compete In the National Open Contests. New York. Aug. 19.

"William January II" was today pardoned from the state penitentiary by Governor E. W. Hoch. It was one of the first official acts which the governor performed on his return from his Chautauqua work. This William January's real name Is Clarence Abrams. He was sent to the state penitentiary from Leavenworth in 1899 for stealing a set of harness. He was 20 years old at the time, and his sentence was for seven years. On March 4, 1903. Abrams saw a chance to climb on a moving freight train and be carried out of the prison. In this way he escaped, and went to St. Louis, where he lived for two years. During that time he married, and settled down to a lawablding life. In December, 1906 he was seen in St. Louis by a former penitentiary pris oner, who, for the purpose of setting the reward, "turned him up" to the officers. While In St. Louis, Abrams had gone by the name of Burt Glea son. Gleason. or Abrams, was taken back to Lansing, and has been there year and a half. Some of his St. Louis friends have been working to get him pardoned, and finally succeed ed. The governor's action was recom mended by the parole board. Warden Haskell came to Topeka Tuesday, got the pardon, and took It back to Lansing with him. Abrams was released this morning. Debs Speaks at Parsons. Parsons, Kan, Aug. 19. Eugene V.

LARGEST STOCK of FURNITURE and CARPETS IN KANSAS KANSAS DOES WELL tittle Child Labor Here Thanks to Sir. Johnson. "Tour child labor conditions In Kansas are good, not so much because of your excellent laws as because of the work which is being done by W. A. L. Johnson, your state labor com missioner." This is the statement of Stephen P. Morris, special representative of the National Child Labor committee, who was In Topeka Tuesday, and assisted In the organization of a state child 4a bor committee. The meeting was held at the High school auditorium, and was attended by Warden Haskell of the state peni tentiary, J. S. Simmons, of the Re formatory board, and many other prominent people Interested in the movement. Mr. Morris said In speaking of Kan pas conditions: "Tour labor commis sioner, Mr. Johnson, has been doing wonderful work to bring child labor under proper control in this state. He lias co-operated with the school auth orities, and has made an excellent rec ord. There Is some child labor In the packing houses, candy and box fac tories at Kansas City, in the coal mines at Pittsburg and in the glass factories at Coffeyvllle, but it Is all under proper supervision and re straint. You should have some additional legislation here so that the continua tion of such conditions will not de pend upon the sympathies of a good official like Mr. Johnson, but should be insured, regardless of who the of ficials may be."

Chicago, Aug. 19. John A. Hinsey, the Captain Dreyfus of the Knights of Pythias, after suffering for several years expulsion from his lodge on a charge of embezzling a million dol lars, ha3 been exonerated and rein stated. Hinsey, who is head of the claim department of the Chicago. Mil waukee St. Paul railway and one time a political power in Milwaukee, was restored at the recent biennial con vention of the Pythians in Boston. The official action of the order was an nounced here last night. The charges against Mr. Hinsey were made by Ogden Fethers of Janesvllle, Wis., when Fethers was supreme chancellor. Hinsey was in dicted and charges preferred against him in his lodge. He fought the in dictments and they were quashed and all the subsequent civil suits which were started he either won or they were dismissed. Throughout it all he had one friend John C. Burns, also of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway. Mr. Burns worked constantly to have the whole affair investigated. The end came at last at the Boston convention on a final roll call, which resulted 99 to 80 in Hinsey's favor. Hinsey, after a seven year fight against degradation, was restored to all the rights and privileges and his former good standing as a true Knights of Pythias. MOTIVE FOR KILLING. STANDJY GUNS School Board Will Not Cut Tax Tice President Nicholson De clines to Call Meeting. BY Mil. WHITTEMORE Superintendent of Schools I s sues Statement. Explains What Has Been Done With the Money. Tlie; Great Sale of Used Piaeos Continues, Tomorrow Squares Are Included 1 Chicago "PRESTO" unchains its doggeral muse, who sings: Possibly It Um In Mrs. Halns's Suit for Divorce. FRASERBROS. C. 0. D. STORE Southeast Cor. etb and Jackson Bta, Botb rttonaa SCO. Boston, Aug. 19. A possible motive for the killing of William E. Annls at the Bayside Yacht club last Saturday by Captain Peter Hains, Jr.. may be found in the fact made known today that Mrs. Halns had filed a suit for divorce against her husband, the pa pers having been served on Captain Hains August 10. In her suit Mrs. Halns made sensational charges against her husband's character and demanded a public hearing. Mrs. Hains believe that Captain Hains and his brother concluded that Mr. Annls was behind the bringing of the accusations and had suggested to Mrs. Halns that the only way she could clear herself of the charges pre ferred by Captain Halns In his divorce action was by demanding that her case be tried in open court. Charles H. Llbbey. of Boston, father of Mrs. Hains, said that his daughter returned to her father's home on June 2. after having been cruelly beaten and illtreated by her husband. Mr. Libbey wild that Captain Halns attacked his wife at Fort Hamilton last May and after the beating he is alleged to have given her, medical, aid had to be called In, her body having bean covered with outa ana. bruises. There Is evidently a small chance that the board of education will re consider its action to reduce its first schedule of a tax levy- from 6 mills to a lower figure. Though a majority of the members of the board of educa tion who are in the city favor such a readjustment of the schedule that will result in only raising the same amount of revenue as was raised in 1907 it looks very much as if they would be out maneuvered by those who oppose it when they count the strength of the members out of To peka. C. C. Xicholson, vice president of the board of education, who acts as chairman of the board in the absence of T. P. Garver, president, from the city, stated that he would not call a special meeting of the board to con sider the tax levy. Mr. Nicholson did not find It urgent to call such a meeting, he stated, and Intimated that it would be to small purpose even if it was called which in dicates that Mr. Nicholson believes that the board will do nothing to cut its levy of six mills to some lower figure. True it is that the increase amounts to but $16,000 more, but the feeling prevails among the tax payers that even so small an increase should not be made. The belief is general that the extensive building operations followed out by the board of education have been nothing short of ex travagant and that an attempt has been made to build with too much haste, but of course that is now a thing of the past. "Economy has al ways characterized the board of education," said Mr. Nicholson. "And the present board of education Is economical." L. D. Whittemore. superintendent of schools, has prepared the following: "Items from the annual reports of the clerk of the board of education and the superintendent of schools, 1907-1908: "In connection with the discussion of city finances the following items will be of Interest, taken from the annual reports of the clerk of the board of education and the superin tendent of schools for the year 1907 1908. Bonds Bonds outstanding June 30, 1907 $522,781.00 Paid In 1907. ,500.00 Bonds outstanding June SO, 1908 522.261.00 Annual interest on bonds.. 22,907.40 "A considerable amount of the bonds issued by the board of educa tion Is held by the state school fund commission and the city receives Its share of the interest paid on bonds, which returns In the form of dividends paid by the state. "The bonds last issued were voted by the city for the purpose of erect ing the Quincy and McKinley build ings in North Topeka, the Lafayette building on the East Side, the addi tion to the Potwln building, the erec tion and equipment of the manual training building for the high school, and for providing rooms and equip ment for manual training in several of the ward schools. Unless the city should have an unexpected growth in population within the next few years, no additional bonds will be needed for new buildings. "The payment of interest on bonds is contemplated in their issue, and the law provides for a special tax levy for this purpose. In 1905, however, with a view of keeping down the tax levy, the board allowed a consider able amount of Interest to remain un paid, which made it necessary to levy 2 mills for interest in 1906. This was reduced to 2 mills in 1907. The interest levy for 1908 Is 5-10 of a mill and the amount raised will be (22,172.24, a decrease of $2,784.18 over the preceding year. After paying all interest for the year 1907 there Is a balance in the interest and sink ing fund of $5,350.27. Building Fund. "In 1905 there were outstanding warrants on the building fund, to the amount of $50,258.74. In 1907 this deficit had been changed to a balance of $7,282.88. and at the end of the fis cal year June 30, 1908, the balance on hand In the building fund was $21 906.23. This has been allowed to accumulate in anticipation of the con struction of the Central Park school. and the building fund levy of 8-10 of a mill proposed for 1908 will provide funds for the payment of the cost of this new building on its completion In the near future the city will be well provided with substantial and mod ern school buildings which will serve their purpose for many years to come, without excessive taxation and with out the issue of additional bonds. General Expenses. "The principal Item In the general expenditures for the support of the schools is the salary budget. Prior to the year Just past the salaries paid In the public schools of Topeka were so low that teacners couia Dareiy pay their necessary living expenses. For the purpose of making it possible to advance the salaries of teachers, the legislature was asked at the last reg ular session to change the law so as to permit cities of the first class to make the same tax levy ior tne sup- Dort of the schools as cities of the sec ond class, 20 mills for all purposes ex cept the payment of interest and bonds. Acting under the provisions of this law the board of education I love it, I love it, and who shall dare To chide me for loving my dear old square! They may break, they may shatter the thing if they will, f But the strains of sweet music will hang round it still One of these pianos may enable your daughter to become a musician and a teacher. Music teachers are much in de mand and command good pay. Most girls would prefer to teach music, and most parents would prefer to have them do so. These pianos, and these prices, and these terms made to suit your pocketbook instead of the purse of somebody that you don't know are making good musi cians out of hundreds of boys and girls in Topeka who would never have known how to play. I TERMS, as heretofore, will be made to suit you, not some body else. Don't hesitate to tell us what you want. You are not asking a favor, but rather DOING a favor. The main thing is to get the piano and start the children practicing before it is to late. This will yield big returns for the little money invested.

In their tenth year of service, may now receive $75.00 per month for nine months, or $675.00 per year. The action of the board in advancing the salaries of the teachers, upon whose efforts the value of the schools to the community depends, has been general ly approved, and there is no question about the city receiving full returns for the money thus expended. "The following table shows that aside from the increase in salaries there has been an actual decrease in the general cost of maintaining the schools in the last three years. This is somewhat remarkable in view of the extra expense involved In the an nexation of the State street and Qum- ton Heights schools within this per iod: and the growth or tne nign school, which in 1888 enrolled only 8 per cent of the total enrollment of the city schools, while in 1908 the high school enrollment was over 17 per cent of the total for the city. The in crease In the cost of teachers salaries from year to year is accounted for in part by the advance in the salaries of teachers In the elementary schools, and in part by the necessity for in creasing the number of teachers in the high school, and also by the fact that fewer teachers of limited exper ience are employed at the minimum salary In the. elementary schools. 1906-1906.

Kstimated general penses $198,550.00 Salaries 151,000.00 All other expenses 47,550.00 with the school slant as now pro vided, including buildings, furniture and equipment, there is no reason to anticipate any considerable increase In the general operating expenses of the schools within tne next iew jeara, even If the normal growth of the city in population and wealth should con tinue. "During the past year the cost of the schools has been kept well within the amount available for their support, and a reduction of nearly $18,000 has been made in the amount of unpaid nirniiti drawn on the eeneral fund in previous year. For 1908-1909 a levy of 4 7-10 mills will provide for the support of the schools and for the retirement of a like amount of outstanding In terest bearing warrants. Effect of the New Tax Law. "In Drovidine for the support of the schools for 1908-1909 it Is not necessary to take advantage of the increase in the valuation of taxable property re sulting from the change In the method of assessment. In 1907 the Increase in the valuation over 1906 was $433,309.00. If ther had been the same increase in 1908, with no change in the method of assessment, a tax levy, of 20 mills for all purposes, including general support, buildings, and interest on bonds the same as in 1907. would have produced $258,230.28. which lacks but $7,835.00 of the amount which would be raised by a 6 mill lew on the new valuation. "It Is to be hoped, and -expected that the effect of the new tax law will be to distribute the burden of the support of the schools more equitably,' so that It may not be regarded by any as an unjust burden but as an investment which will contribute In the largest way to the welfare of the entire city. If the progress which has been made in the past few years is continued, and if the schools are operated at the low est cost to the taxpayers consistent with the efficiency of the schools, there is ground for a reasonable expectation that the expense of maintaining tha schools In the following years will rela tively decrease. Six and three-tenths mills la the tax levy schedule which will be submitted to the ways and means committee of the council at its meeting on Wednes day evening. It is probable that this levy will be approved by the commit tee and in turn by the council on Thursday evening. in the previous scnedules the levy ror Marshall's band was entirely forgotten and unprovided for. The city made a contract with Marshall's that In turn for free weekly band concerts at the various city parks a levy returning something like $1,500 would be provided for and the city was obliged to provide for this levy. In the revised schedule as presented this provision has been made. The first schedule submitted called for a levy of 7.9 mills or $350,000. the present one of 6.3 represents $279,090 or close to $71,000 of a reduction. The proposed increase in the water works fnnds- is not made and it re mains practically- at the same figure that obtained in 1907. The reduction in water rates therefore cannot come about on January 1st and consumers of city water will have to be content with the one reduction made on July 1st for one year at least.

Scanlon of Pittsburg on behalf of the committee on notification appointed at the national convention In Columbus, Ohio, July 16. In accepting the nomination Mr. Chafln spoke In part as follows: "On the 4th of March, 1909, our na- tional government will have completed I its one hundred and twentieth year of constitutional history. During that time 25 men have occupied the presi dential office. All have been men of high distinction, and a few of them of eminent ability. For the first time since the death of Washington, Decem ber 14, 1799. we are without a living ex-president. When Lincoln took the oath of office five former presidents were living the greatest number In our history. They did nothing to help him In the great struggle-which resulted in the passage of the thirteenth amend ment to the constitution, which marked a higher standard of Christian civiliza tion. They were the representatives of two dominant political parties. Whig and Democratic, which for about 60 years opposed the bringing of any great new question Into the political arena. "We are now approaching the close of another 50 years where two domin ant political parties. Republican and Democratic, have allied themselves with the most glgati'! crime that ever cursed the world, and by their attitude make known to the American people that they do not propose to permit them to have a chance even though the majority may favor it, to destroy the liquor traffic and add another amend ment to the constitution, which would mark the highest achievement of civili zation in the world's history. Fictitious Issues. "Twenty-seven presidential cam paigns have been more or less fiercely fought to gain control of the govern ment. Most of them have been bat tles over fictitious issues which had little or nothing to do with the ad ministrations which followed. In not more than six instances would a line of American history have been changed if the defeated candidate had been elected Instead of the successful one. This party strife over false Is sues for the sake of obtaining office, has made moral cowards of many of our public men, and transformed some of our chief executives Into mere pawns upon the party chess board; for no man lives In history and In the hearts of the people who does not stand for the highest moral sentiment of his day. "The makers of the federal con stitution wisely provided that once In four years the people should have an opportunity, through the election of a president and a house of representa tives, to record the advance made in morals and adopt new and necessary methods of government. If one or more political parties are to be kept in power twenty-five or fifty years, each succeeding administration, carry ing out the policy of the past, and re fusing to enact Into law the progress attained, then such party or parties have violated the very spirit of the constitution, and turned our Demo cracy into despotism, making the political boss dictator. "We are dangerously near that con dition of things in the pending presi dential campaign. The attempt made by the Republican and Democratic parties to create a fictitious issue is the most farcical in our history, in the face of the fact that during the past four years the question of the prohibition of the liquor traffic has at tracted wider attention of the press and the people than all other public issues combined. Plutform Is Plain. "Mr. Chairman. the platform adopted by the national convention of the Prohibition party over which you presided, is so plain and comprehen sive, that no voter need read it a sec ond time to understand exactly what It means. I have studied the plat forms of all other political parties. a prohibition caxdidate r ft.,,,. f r Eugeno Ciafln. candidate for president on toe Prohibition ticket. ha3 been spending the summer at Waukesha and Bethesda Springs la Wiscon sin.

The pictures show Chafln at the extreme left and a crow of his admirers drinking Chafln', Prohibition health, In a strictly Prohibition manner. The Late C. M. Atwood, Former Santa Fe Auditor, Who Tiled Tuesday In Oklah oma. Ours gives the voter the only oppor tunity he will have this year to cast his ballot against the liquor traffic, and for other reforms being earnestly demanded by the American people. "The lofty Ideals of twentieth cen tury statesmanship call for a United States senate born of an intelligent people's conscience, instead of mock ing statutes surrounding the pedestals of concentrated wealth; the equaliza tion of public burdens by a system that will compel the rich to pay their proper proportion of the costs of government. A graduated Income and inheritance tax will be a long step in this direction. "The development of the trusts has changed entirely all the old theories of a protective tariff and free trade, and the people demand legislation in their Interest on this important mat ter, which can best be worked out by a permanent tariff commission. We are the only party that strikes a blow at the social evil, so closely allied to the liquor traffic; and propose the only practical method of stamping out polygamy throughout the nation, by a uniform marriage and divorce law. "While not a line of history will be changed by the election of a Republi can or Democrat, the triumph of the Prohibition party and the placing of its platform in the constitution and upon the statute book, will write, the longest, brightest, purest and most beneficent chapter of history that has marked the progress of civilization since governments were Instituted among men." What Evans Really Said. New York. Aug. 19. A special dis patch from Lake Mohonk brings the following story of Admiral Evans. The other day a friend asked him: "Admiral. Is there any truth that af ter the Battle of Santiago you called out from the bridge of the Iowa to a captain of another battleship: "Those Spaniards can't fight a thing except water?' Admiral Evans laughted and re plied: "I will tell you what I really said and what the incident really was. One drizzly day during the blockade we stood in toward the harbor and shelled the shore batteries. It was not as ex citing as it might have been, for whether we hit anything or not I know the Spaniards did not quite come near us. After the shelling was over a press boat lay alongside my ship and a news paper man asked if we had been hit. I shouted back: 'They didn't touch us. The Spaniards didn't hit anything ex cept water and they couldn't have hit that if there wasn't so much of it.' FUNERAL IS ENJOINED. Services Scheduled for Today Stopped b the Court. Des Moines, la., Aug. 19. Jacob Stein, father of Morris Stem, mysteri ously shot and killed, together with his wife's aunt. Miss Hester Porter, at Loudenville, O., last Friday, halted the funeral arrangements with an injunc tion handed down by Judge Hugh Brennan of the district court. Among other sensational charges presented by the elder Stein Is included one that Mrs. Stein, the young woman now mourning the death of her husband. Is not the legal wife of Morris Stein. Talking to detectives today Mrs. Stein declared her opinion that her husband was killed by Miss Porter and thnt the latter committed suicide.

Isaac Purcell of WaKeeney, owner of the finest residence In western Kansas, and one of the rich men of the state, Is in Topeka today, and call ed upon Governor Hoch and other state officers. In speaking of the new tax law, Mr. Purcell said: "Our people are Just waiting to see what the effect of the new law is before they pars Judgment If it doesn't raise taxes, they will be for it. One effect of the new law is to raise the rates of interest on real estate loans from 6 per cent to 8 per cent, rnis is because of the taxation of mortgages. The holder of the mortgage simply makes the- borrower pay the taxes, that's all. We ought to exempt all farm mortgages from taxa tion, it is a form of double taxation. anyway. "I suppose the primary law is here to stay in some form, but it is one of the most highly unsatisfactory pieces or legislation ever nut on the books. It will have to be changed in many particulars. Many hundred votes were rejected in the recent primary wnicn snouid have been counted In our county 124 votes were rejected for technical defects. Stubbs carried the county by 17. but if those votes hart been counted, Leland would have had 100 majority. "This primary election shows that we have another wave of radicalism on here in Kansas which beats anything wnicn nappenea aurtng the Populist days." WILL TALK ON TRUSTS. Subject of Taft's Speech on Friday Is Outlined. Hot Springs. Va., Aug. 19. The speech Mr. Taft will deliver here Fri day to the Republicans of Virginia will involve, according to a statement of Mr. Vorys today, a general discus sion with reference to the part taken by the Republican and Democratic parties in meeting the abuses of trusts and monopolies, with a reference to the duty of southern Republicans to' make every effort to increase the Republican vote in the south by accessions from the ranks of independent Democrats. It will point out, added Mr. Vorys, the issues upon which such Democrats must emphasize with the Republican position and Republican success. James R. Garfield, secretary of the Interior, reached here today from a trip through California. Oregon, Idaho, Montana. Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah and Colorado. He made a report to Mr. Taft on political conditions as he observed them, which) he said, was a very optimistic report from a Republican standpoint. "The political sentiment, as I ascer tained It," said he. "was exceedingly favora.bly to Mr. Taft. There was lo cal trouble in some of the states I vis ited, but I was told by both factions in each case that nothing would in terfere with the head of the ticket. Business is good, crops are good and I never have seen such heavy railway business in the west. Mr. Garfield said that the train on which he came east was polled at Kansas City, showing 4" votes for Taft and 17 votes for Bryan." Representative James E. Kennedy of the Youngstown. O., district today laid before Mr. Taft, the details of the ar rangements for opening the national Republican campaign at that place, September 5. It is planned to have pres ent a number of Republicans from each of these states: Illinois, Indiana. Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken tucky and Tennessee. The arrangements committee would like to have the presence of the can didate and the previous invitation was again laid before him. The decision was reached that Mr. Tart would not attend the meeting, it being said that to do so would constitute an exception to the rule he has adopted of making his en tire campaign at Cincinnati.

Preacher Commits Suicide, ftica, N. Y., Aug. 19. Rev. Duan Phelps, treasurer of Syracuse univer sity, shot himself in his room in the Wurz hotel, this city, some time dur ing last night. He left a note saying he did not wish to live any longer. Rev. Mr. Phelps formerly was con nected with the Northern Christian Advocate. It is understood that he has been 111 and was for some time at a private eanitarium, TROOPS LEAVING. (Continued from Page One.) "That means' that we'll have to take to the fields again," said one of them, "unless there is enough men left to protect every body. I don't believe they can do it unless they put us in a general camp. We colored folks know what this mob means. It means busi ness. They are just waiting for a chance." On Twelfth' street the reporter met an aged colored man, whose white head was protected by an ancient sol dier's cap. He was trundling a small trunk on a wheelbarrow. "Where are you going, uncle?" he was asked. "I dunno, sah," but I's goin' away from here. The soldiers is goin and I ain't gong to wait for a mob, not much." The richer for a little silver, he picked uo his barrow and tottered along. "I am a wash lady and a widow with two cnimren, said a neat looking col ored woman, occupying a partly demol ished cottage on Mason street. "These soldiers shouldn't go, not yet. I don't know what will become of my two chil dren, if the mob starts rioting again. It's hard on them, sleeping in corn fields. Of course It is costing the state a lot of money and you can't really blame them, but I'm awfully afraid. These bad white folks don't think noth ing of killing us colored people when tney g-et mad."

Coincident with the departure for their homes to day of the First and Fourth infantry regiments which have been on riot duty here it was announced that the Third and Fifth infantry regiments will depart tomorrow. This will reduce the military force here to about 1.500 men. an ample number, in the opinion of those in authority, to handle the sit uation which has shown a much less serious aspect since the meeting of tli'i special grand Jury. The determination to follow up today's departure with two more on the following day was reached at a conference of Governor MRS. KARL Mrs. Earl Hallam, wife of a street car conductor at Springfield.

"I am of the opinion that the depar ture of the troops will do much to complete the quieting of the city." said Adjutant General Scott today. "The presence of the soldiery has the same effect on some people as a brass band does' on a small boy. The boy has to dance to the music. To some men, notably young, ones, the sight of sol diers in Itself is exciting, no matter what the purpose of their presence is. The young man feels that he must get into the picture, and sometimes he does it in a way that calls for repres sive measures. "Conditions in this city are new such that an active sheriff with a good force of deputies, reinforced by the police could, in my belief, be safely trusted with the public security."

The wheat market was about steady at the opening today owing to moderate buying by some of I the leading bulls, but eased off later ou selling by commission houses, which were based mainly on weakness in i northwestern markets. V eather was again favorable for the harvesting of the spring wheat crop and this tended to augment bearish sentiment.

The market continued firm the" re mainder of the day. The high point for September was reached at 93c. Small country acceptances in the southwest helped to strengthen the market. The close was firm with Sep tember c higher at 93c. Urgent demand by shorts caused a strong opening in the corn market, the September delivery showing especial strength. Sentiment became a little less bullish later in the day because of profit taking by pit traders brought out by predictions of showers today for Illinois.

HONEYJEE MAN Frank G. Odell Will Be Here at the Fair. ii. t nteniiv nf Raps and 11 a uargcnt m-tj Honey in Country. MACHINE MEN APPLY. Many Seek Space in the Manu facturers' Section. Great Interest in Appearance of Miss Mulhall. Secretary Kreipe of the State Fair has received advices from Frank G. Odell, the bee expert engaged to give performances at the fair, that he will bring his entire show direct from the Nebraska state fair to Topeka, en route to Hutchinson, McPherson and Oklahoma City, at all of which points he fills engagements this season. In asmuch as Mr. Odell expects to go up against stiff competition for premiums both in Kansas and in Oklahoma, he will bring with him what is expected to be the finest display of live bees and honey ever shown in Topeka. From the advance advertising which the Ne braska state fair management are do ing for this attraction It is evident that it is deservedly popular at home and will doubtless meet with instant appreciation here as the show is en tirely original with Mr. Odell and is one of the most sensational things ever put on at a fair. Applications for space in the machin ery exhibit continue to rage in Secre atry Kreipe's daily mail like an epi demic. Today he recorded entries from Adams Adams of North Topeka for their automatic gate. The Loomis Machinery Co., of Tiffin. Ohio, ask for 2,000 square feet of space for their well drilling machinery. The Eagle Hay Baling Co., of Kansas City want space to give an exhibition of baling hay during the fair. The fourth wash ing machine company asked for space today. An idea of the magnitude of the machinery exhibit for the Kansas state wide fair may be gained from the statement that there will be twenty thousand square feet of space set aside for this purpose. Cornish Patten of Osborne, Mo., have asked for six double stalls for their blue ribbon strain of Herefords and also seven stalls for nurse cows and their calves. An Osage City man asks for pens for his blooded swine and Ralph Harris of Buck Creek, Kan., wants six pens for his Duroc-Jersey stock. Secretary Kreipe's stock of Kansas fair souvenirs is disappearing fast. These buttons, pins and watch fobs are unique and very attractive. The call of the wild Is strong In every man, and the persons in any community who do not like feats of skill and daring may be counted on the fingers of one hand. The fair management recognized this .Inherent trait of human nature when they se cured the Mulhall congress of rough riders and ropers for the fair. The rattle days on the plains have prac tically passed away and the small army of dead shots, rough riders and skillful ropers of other days has dwindled down to a few Individuals. Outside of a few ranches In Montana and Wyoming and the 101 and Mul hall ranches in Oklahoma there are few if any places where one can now find expert riders and ropers. While Miss Lucile Mulhall is the queen of the Mulhall ranch and the star attrac tion in the congress of ropers and riders, she has two sisters, Bossie and Mildred, who can rope and ride, and her brother Charlie is one of the best rough riders in the country. There are a number of the old time cow Readj for the Call to "Boots and THE boys In the outfit and the Mulhall exhibition of riding -outlaw horses and roping; wild Texas steers Is prob ably the best entertainment feature to be seen at any state fair in the coun try this year. A number of years ago 25,000 people thronged to the Mis souri state fair at Sedalla to see a Kansas girl and Missouri girl ride a twenty mile race on thoroughbred horses.- That was a tame affair when compared 'to the wonderful horse womanship of the Mulhall girls that will be seen this year at the Kansas fair. Then It is exciting, this cap ture of wild-eyed steers with a lariat. Some times the animal is badly in jured by its fall and often killed. The Mulhall girls will ride all over that quarter stretch and Lucille will rope steers from every angle. At Coftey vllle a couple of years ago this girl followed a steer through, a shattered fence and down a steep bank to the river and threw the crazy animal In a ditch and got off in the mud and hog tied him. There is no four-flush or grandstand play about this roping and ridins of the Mulhall outfit. They work for. results. Just as they were taught to do on a big round up. Then Lucille's exhibition -with, her trick horse Governor Is a show by Itself. She rides that horse on his front feet alone, on his hind feet and on his knees. She mounts the horse with and without the use of stirrups and then makes him lie down while she makes a flying leap to the saddle as he springs to his feet. The girl and her horse give a stunt worthy of the sawdust ring- and at the same time give all the fancy work of the ex perienced plainsmen and his mount. NEW STORAGE PLANT. One WUl Be Built by Mutual Company on Buchanan. A large storage plant having a ca pacity of 8,000 tons of ice will be erected on Buchanan street between Kleventh and Twelfth on the west side of the street by the Mutual Ice and Cold Storage company at a cost of about $2a,000. Flans are now being pre pared by E. L. Hopkins, architect, and the contract for the work will be let in about three weeks. The construction of the building is the evolution of a. most ingenuous plan. It is proposed to fill the large plant with manufactured ice in the winter time for summer consumption. The site picked was decided on because of its more central location as a dis tributing point to the retail trade. Or ders for ice can be filled at the stor age plant as well as the manufactur ing plant on East First street. This will prove a great convenience for farmers and otners wno are otnerwise compelled to go way down into the wholesale district to procure their supply of Ice, and it is also represents a time saver to the wagons wnicn have a regular list of customers and are routed over the entire city. The dimensions of the plant will be 54 feet by 110 feet and two stories high though one portion of the building will be two and one-half stories high. The storage room will have dimensions of 54 by 80 feet and 30 feet high, the engine room will be 64 by 26 feet and 20 high, the Icing room will be 20 by 28 feet and 18 feet high. In addition to this provision has been made for an office. The Mutual Ice company is now erecting a brick stable 52 by 82 feet and costing $3,000 at the same location. The stable will house all of the wag ons and horses used by the distribut inyforce In thecity. -Machinery. -will be installed In the storage plant for the purpose of maintaining a constant temperature at freezing point so that a large quantity of ice in storage does not suffer loss through melting. No storage of fruits, produce or anything of that character Is contemplated, sim ply the ice itself for distribution. Clothier Plays Fast Tennis. Newport, R. I., Aug. 19. William J.

Probable Pica In Defense of tlie Slayer of Annis. New York, Aug:. 19. A predominating figure In the Hains-Annis trial is Mra. Claudia Hains. the young wife of Cap tain Peter C. Hains, Jr., U. S. A., who shot and killed William E. Annis. an advertising manager, at the Bayside club, while his brother. T. J. Hains, prevented interference by holding a irowd at bay with a revolver. What the attitude of Mrs. Hains will be Is of paramount interest and importance to the lawyers for the Hains brothers and to the district attorney. Rumors are rife that Mrs. Hains will drop her hos tile demeanor toward her husband and will take her place at his side when the trial comes. However, the reports came from no authentic sources and Mrs. Hains and her lawyers are silent as to the plans. Mrs. Hains. It Is said, has returned to her home in Massachusetts. Her law yer. Frederick L. Norton, of Boston, who came here to advise her an nounced that he will have a statement from her within a day or so. Captain Hains and his brother will be represented by the best counsel that ran be procured. John F. Mclntyre, a former assistant district attorney, and one of the ablest lawyers practicing at the criminal bar has been retained and It was said that an effort would be made to get Martin W. Littleton, who defended Harry K. Thaw, to Join the defense. Littleton Is now in Europe. An evening newspaper quoted Mr. Mc lntyre as saying that Insanity will be the defense. General Hains and his brother, Peter A. Hains. a lawyer of Boston, who it Is believed will be asso clHted with counsel for the defense, visited the two prisoners In the Queens county Jail. They remained for sonio time In consultation with the young men. tjptain Hains and his brother still renv 'n calm and on advice of -ounsel "use to make any statement regarding the tragedy.

The Atchison Company In Debt and the Creditors Are Hungry. Atchison, Aug. 19. The Globe says: There Is talk of selling the Atchison coal mine; the company owes a lot of money, and it seems Impossible to stave oft all the creditors. It Is pro posed to sell the mine for whatever It will bring, and pay the debts. It may become necessary to do this, but here Is what should be done: Sink a new shaft to the Leavenworth vein, and operate H. The Leavenworth vein can be mined profitably, without a doubt. Leavenworth has demonstrated this. The money can be raised among the men who have contributed so gener ously to the larger enterprise. The editor of the Globe will do his share. Not only that, but he is anxious to make the new venture. In order that OOOCCOOOOOCCOCOOCJCGOCCOOCO Lawn Mowers Sharpened, 75c Machines call for and delivered. U. S.

And the editor of the Globe Is anxious to Invest In a proposition which will give investors in the old coal company some return for their money; a re turn of 60 per cent, or 70 per cent, at some time In the future, after the new mine has been made profitable. Atchi son should not acknowledge defeat In the coal proposition. It is the best thing offered today. After the Leaven worth vein has been made a suc cess, then let the larger and better vein be developed. The larger and beter vein is difficult because of water. Xo water at the Leavenworth vein. TO MAKE JOHNSON RUN. That Seems to Be Determination of Minnesota Democrats. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 19. Not withstanding Governor John A. John son's positive and oft repeated declara tion that he would not be a candidate for renomlnation. which declaration he has lately coupled with the threat that if he was named against his will the convention would have to do its work over again, the probabilities were that the convention which assembled today would ignore the governor's wishes. Yesterday when told that he might be made the nominee despite his protests, Governor Johnson said that If he was nominated the ticket would be without a head for he would not lift a finger to rurtner nis candidacy. It was thought that if this emphatic declaration had its effect that J. G. Armson. mayor of Stillwater, Minn... would .undoubtedly be the nominee. Mayor Armson stated this, morning, however, that under no circumstances would he be a candidate. He said he regarded it as Governor Johnson's duty to answer the call of the party and make the race, even at a great personal sacrifice. Congressman Hammond, who has been a conspicuous factor In the situa tion has during the past week been eliminated by his declination to run. With Armson and Hammond both out. It looked today as though the only course open to the convention was to nominate Johnson and take a chance on his accepting. CRAZED BY TOBACCO. Woman Chewed to Stop Aching of a Tooth. New York, Aug. 19. A piece of chew ing tobacco inserted in hollow of a tooth help to send Mary Lewis to the Psychopathic ward of Bellevue and to bring her before a city magis trate on the technical charge of In sanity. There her mental condition was passed upon and her release or dered. The patient had never been addicted to the use of tobacco until two weeks ago, when one of the teeth In her lower left Jaw began to ache and was ad vised to buy a plug of tobacco, bite oft a generous portion of and hold It In her mouth. She did so and within three days she had acquired the habit. The ache disappeared, but as it went away Mary heard strange voices. A graphophone with a strident voice call ed upon her to be good, and many children, all in white, numbering mil lions, sang songs and recited verses, until she became unable to sleep. She kept on chewing the tobacco and the more she chewed the louder oecame the tones of the graphophone. Into such a condition did she drift that it was deemed advisable to have her undergo an examination In the psychopathic ward of Bellevue where her case was diagnosed as one of acute mania, giving the use of tobac co as the exciting and principal contri buting cause. The gradual deprivation of the tobacco resulted In restoring her to a nearly normal mental condition. Butler County Soaked. ElDorado, Kan., Aug. 19.

Wild Animal Trainers .Who Are Afraid of Little Things. "Because some men and women earn their living by facing death in various ways, does not signify that they are deviod the sense of fear," said Charles bmith. superintendent of menagerie with Rlngling Brothers' circus, which is to exhibit here Tuesday, Sept. 8. "No matter how game they may be, or the hazardous chances they take, there is not a mother's son or daugh ter, but will display the white feath er when thrown in contact with certain things. "I have mingled with wild animal creatures since childhood and think as little of poking my head between the Jaws of a treacherous lion as would 1 of putting on my hat. But with all my gameness I could not be Induced to go yachting. Why I should fear the wa ter is more than I am able to explain, but the very thought of a lake, river or the ocean causes my blood to chill. "One big fellow Is considered the bravest trainer in the business. Well, sir, a harmless little beetle can throw him Into hysterics. He will enter a den of fighting felines without displaying the slightest sign of fear, but em phatically refuses to pass under an arc lamp when the bugs are in evidence. "Elephant Red: he's the battle scarred individual who feeds the ele phants. That fellow has been mashed, crushed and everything else an en raged mountain of meat could admin ister to a human. He has been in the hospital several times and was given up for dead on as many other occa sions. And in spite of all this he still sticks to the business. Nervy, you say? Well, if you conld see him toe the chalk-line when his wife com mands, your opinion would be reversed. Red' Is all to the good, when It comes to mastering elephants, but meek as a lamb when his better-half is on the firing line. "Mile. La Belle Roche, the little French woman, is Intrepid In every sense of the word. Barely out of her teens, she thinks no more of driving' a huge auto car for a double somersault ing mid-air flight than do you of eat ing a well served meal. Not only does she taunt death in this fashion, but in order to keep her reputation untarn ished, she takes advantage of every opportunity to enter the tigers den. Now this tiger stunt may not Impress you as being so dangerous, but If you understand how bitterly the Bengal hates a petticoat you could appreciate the desperate chances she takes. Well, mister, with all the dare-devil blood that flows through this woman's veins, she lacks enough nerve to enter an elevator. She can't bear a domestic cat and If approached by one she will pick up her skirts and run to beat the band. This little performer has been in America since April 1, during which time she has never boarded a street car owing to her fear of being electro cuted." Good Rain in Saline County.

The last of the Topeka warriors who have been defending Fort Riley for the past ten days from attacks from im aginary enemies, have returned to their homes. The carnage is', said to have been great but as none of the Topeka members of the defending force were injured or killed the supposition is that the loss fell to the attacking party. The Topeka street railway ran a train of three cars, crowded to capacity to the ball park for the game Tuesday. The train had Just reached the "bridge over the Shunganunga which is but a little ways from the park when a train of empty cars came along headed towards town.

FRIENDLY FIGHT. That Is What John V. Kern Would Like to See This Year. Nimbus. Carrying 109 Pounds. Makes a New- World's Record. Empire City, N.. T., Aug. 19. A new world's record for six furlongs for cir cular tracks was made at the Empire City track when Nimbus, carrying 109 pounds, won the first race in 1:11 1-5. The time clips two-fifths of a second off the old mark made by Roseben, carrying 147 pounds at Belmont park, a couple of years ago. Nimbus' performance was not as good as that of Roseben, for he had considerable weight off. The track and weather conditions were ideal for rec ord breaking. The start of the six fur longs race was down a slight hill and as they swung Into the stretch another gradual grade was encountered, over which It Is easy for good horses to make fast time. Tom McGrath broke In front and ran the first furlong In 11 seconds. He led at the quarter by a length and a half In 21 4-5 seconds. The third furlong was covered In 33 2-5 seconds. Here he began to stop and Nimbus then took up the running, coming to the half mile In :45 3-5 sec onds. He swung Into the stretch with a lead of one and a half lengths and passed the five furlongs In :57 3-5 and finished out the full distance In 1:11 1-5. He was nicely In hand at the end. Tom McGrath tired badly from the early pace and finished outside of the money. Spooner, at 6 to 1, won the Dun woodie stakes. THE CASE OF MRS. CREED.

"We all love the same old starry banner, and remembering our love for the flag, let us go into the campaign as friends: let us fight the campaign as friends and let us come out of it as friends." Mr. Kern had pleasant things to say about President Roosevelt. He re lated a sory which greatly amused his audience. It was the incident of his meeting an old Republican friend one dav. "Do you like Roosevelt?" asked his friend. "I like him Drettv well." said Kern "and by the way how do you like him?"

GIVES A WRONG IMPRESSION. Warden Haskell Says Picture or Pent- tentiary Life Is False. Another Saturday Evening Post story has fallen under the condemna tion of the Kansas officials. This time it is not a wheat story, but the story entitled "Number 9009," which pur ports to be a history of life in a state s prison. "I have read several Installments of that story," said Warden Haskell of the Kansas penitentiary today, "and I must say thatl don't know of any in stitution of the kind in the country. It may be that there were such peni tentiaries a good many years ago. but It has all been changed. That system of handling prisoners does not prevail nowadays. "The spy system does not exist in the way described in that article. Of course we can't allow the prisoners to arrange to make a break for liberty all at once. We must break up such combinations. But I do not encour age the prisoners to tell tales on each other, and neither do my officers. If a prisoner wants to come and tell me something. I listen to It. and profit by the information, if It is of any value. but I do nothing to encourage the system." Soo Railway Enters Duluth. Duluth. Minn.. Aug. 19.
