Special Session of Legislature May Be Necessary. Tltal Mistake Jn Proposed Con stitutional Amendment. PROBATE JUDGES OUT. May Get No Pay for the Next Two Years. Governor Iloch Undecided as to What. Should Be Done. The possibility of an extra session of the legislature loomed up before Governor Hoch today, and the gover nor confessed that he was somewhat tartled by the apparition. If an extra session is called, it will be for the purpose of making some provision so that the probate judges of the state can get some pay during the next two years, in case of the adoption, at the November election, of the constitutional amendment relat ing to the disqualification of judges to hold certain offices. It has been dis covered that .if this amendment is adopted, the effect will in all prob ability be to deprive the probate judges of any compensation. The regular session of the legislature can not remedy this because the probate judges take office the day before the legislature meets, and any law passed would not apply to the term of office then going on. Furthermore, the constitutional amendment provides that no probate judge shall practice law during his term, and this shuts off the possibility of many judges holding the office two years for nothing, with the under standing that they will be reimbursed. The discovery of the existence of this state of affairs was made by Otis L. Allen, of Shawnee county, candidate for probate Judge on the Democratic tick et. When Mr. Allen's opinion was report ed to Governor Hoch, he said: "This Is certainly a serious matter, if the conditions are as stated by Mr. Allen. Of course I shall want to refer the matter to the attorney general and get his opinion before giving any state ment as to what I shall do. I certain ly don-t want to be obliged to call a special session, and will not do so un less ta is' absolutely necessary. There ought to be some other way out of this, it seems to me. If the probate Judges could manage to get along through their first term, provision could be made for paying them later on. It is a new proposition, and has not been brought to my notice before." It would. cost not less than $10,000 to get the legislature together, even for a. few days. The mileage which the members would draw amounts to near ly $8,000. Nor would it be any great advantage to assemble the special ses sion a few days before the regular ses sion, for most of the members of the present legislature are not candidates for re-election. Under such conditions, it may be that Governor Hoch will decide to call the special session at once, and allow it to also pass a guaranty deposit law, and take this issue out of the cam paign. The Republican platform has declared for such a law now, and there is not much doubt that it would pass. It would relieve the Republicans of some apprehension in the campaign. On the other hand, the cost of another special session would be somewhat of a load for the party to carry. What Mr. Allen Says. Mr. Allen's statement concerning the situation, as he sees it. Is as follows: "It the proposed Judicial amend ment to the constitution is passed at the next election, probate judges will receive practically no compensation for their services for the two years commencing on January 11, 1909. The proposed amendment provides that the judges 'shall receive for their services such compensation as may be provid ed by law, which shall not be increas ed during their respective terms of of fice. Such Justices or Judges shall re ceive no fees or perquisites,' etc. Pro bate Judges now receive fees as com pensation, except a very small salary for their services under the prohib itory liquor law which In many coun ties would not pay clerk hire. If the amendment is adopted it takes effect before the legislature meets, and de prives the probate Judges who take their seats in January 1909 of receiv ing any fees which the probate judges now receive. The next legislature could provide no increase in salaries or other compensation which would affect the Judges who take their seats next January, because the amendment provides that their compensation could not be Increased during their re spective terms of office, and their terms commence one day before the legislature meets. "The effect of the amendment there fore is to deprive the Incoming probate Judges of receiving either the fees now provided or any salary which the leg islature may fix. They will have to serve the people free, which most of them could probably not afford to do. The amendment further provlaes that they shall not practice law curing their continuance In office. "It maybe suggested that the present incumbents hold over the two years, but they too would have to serve for nothing, because the amendment would prevent them from receiving fees as well as the new incumbents. "I am in favor of fixing reasonable salaries for all county officers, and of abolishing the fee system, which in some Instances gives exorbitant com pensation to county offeers. The fact toat I am a candidate does not change ffcy view on the matter; but whether this constitutional amendment should be passed at the next election is a matter that should be seriously con sidered. It would be better to vote down the amendment than to prac tically abolish probate courts for two years. "I see but one sure way to avoid the trouble in case the amendment be adopted, and that is for the governor to call a special session of the legis lature to convene a few days before the regular session, so that a law fixing salaries for probate judges could be passed before their next terms com mence. The question for the voters to decide is: Is it better to postpone the adoption of such an amendment for two years or to have the special session of the legislature? This is a matter which, it mmi to me, merits consider- 'ation by the Democratic and Repub- f 1 ;'l 1 SMdnna a a .-.v rum o f v a "There are no doubt some counties in me siaie wnere proDaie juages re cei v n.Mumkf i j mi t ions under the law now governing them.

BUSY DAY FORTrYAN. Delivers Two Speeches and Receives Hundreds of People. Fairview. Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. 4. William J. Bryan today was a busy man. He delivered two dedication speeches, one at the state fair grounds and the other at the Tabitha Home for the Aged, near Fairview, received many hundreds of people, talked tnto a phonograph, discussed politics and sandwiched in some --rV in his office. Perhaps the most important visitor was Herman Rldder of New York, one of the Democratic campaign managers. Mr. Rldder is on his way east and stopped off in Lincoln a short time this morning to have a talk wnn the presidential candidate. He brought very flattering reports of the political situation as ne found it in the west and particularly among the German voters. Mr. .Bryan's no tice was attracted to the dispatch from Middle Bass island, where it Is stated, that Mr. Taft commenting on the result of the "Vermont election says that he would have been better pleased had the majority not been so large in which event Republican over confidence would have been lessened. "I know," remarked Mr. Bryan, "of several sections of the countrv where the Republicans are not afflicted with overconfldence." Mr. Ridder has traveled extensively over the United States since the Den ver convention and laid before the presidential candidate some statistics which seemed to satisfy both himself and Mr. Bryan, tending to show that all of the socalled gold and Cleveland Democrats of any national prominence are this year supporting Mr. Bryan and express themselves as being ready to take the stump for him. In the opinion of Mr. Rldder, the real issue of the present campaign is the tariff question and he thought the party leaders should give more time to the subject. "From careful observation, said Mr. Rldder, "I am now convinced that the Democratic national ticket win be elected this fall. I told Mr. Bryan so. This opinion is not based on wild hopes, neither does desire sway me in form'ng it. but It is the result of a careful canvass made by -myself and my friends since the Denver conven tion adjourned. There will be many surprises when the result of tne vote is known. I have found in every sec tion of the country bitter resentment against the Republicans among mem bers of their own party, because or the attitude of the leaders on the tariff question. Every one who remembers the experience of those who approacn edthe house and senate leaders during the last session of congress to urge a reduction of the duty on any article, knows that there Is no chance of reai revision of the tariff if the Republi cans win this fall. So Republicans and Democrats alike who know the prosperity of the country demands the revision of the tariff will support the Democratic ticket to bring about this result. "After conferring with leaders in Chicago I will go directly to New York and will later take the stump in the east for Bryan and Kern. The Ger mans of the country are going to sup port the Democratic ticket almost unanimously this fall." j HARRIMAN TO WORK, His Summer Vacation Was Brought to an End Today. Klamath Falls. Ore., Sept. 4. Presi dent E. H. Harriman of the Harriman lines, who has been sojourning at his summer home at Pelican Bay with his family, will get into harness once more. Mr. Harriman left this morning for the east via Portland. Mr. Harriman will be detained in Oregon for at least a week, unless the plan Is abandoned, having accepted invitations to address commercial bodies in several Willametie valley towns. A number of conferences with various officials of the Oregon Railway Navigation company have been planned to take place in Portland. It Is expected that Mr. Harriman will meet with the transportation com mittee of the chamber of commerce of Portland to talk over railroad develop ment in eastern and central Oregon and the transportation situation gen erally. Wait for Harriman. Portland. Ore., Sept. 4. The Oregon Railway Navigation directors met In annual session yesterday for the pur pose of selecting a new set of directors for the coming year, but adjourned for one week. This was done primarily to give Mr. Harriman an opporunity to be present. The members of the board also thought It was only com mon courtesy to Mr. Harriman to defer action, inasmuch as he owns all but about fifteen shares of the stock and has been so busy that he has not been able to attend' a meeting in the entire history of the road m fact, since Its organization In 1896. It. Is hinted that Mr. Harriman may pre side at the meeting. VISITORSARrMAHY." President Koosevelt Entertains Large Number of Callers. Oyster Bay. N. Y.. Sept. 4. Presi dent Roosevelt today entertained a number of visitors. They were John A. Schlacker, editor of Leslie's Weekly: Henry A. Wise. United States assistant district attorney from New York; Bishop C. H. Brent. Protestant Epis copal bishor, of the Philippines: James F. Williams and Richard Ollanan, both of the Taft campaign bureau: Hamilton Fish of New York, assistant treasurer of the United States: How ard Richards of New York, and Major A. W. Wadsworth of Avon, N. V., both personal friends of the president. TRICKEHFINED. Assistant Attorney General for Wyandotte Assessed $500. Judge New hall Overrules the Petition for Rehearing. Till AL WAS IMPARTIAL Case Treated Like Any Person Convicted of Misdemeanor. Assistant Attorney General Shukers Will Investigate. Kansaa City, Kan., Sept. 4. C. W. Trickett, assistant attorney general for AVyandotte county, was yesterday fined $500 and costs in the North di vision of the city court for collecting fees illegally. Judge M. H. Newhall. before whom Assistant Attorney General C. W. Trickett was tried and convicted last week for illegally accepting fees in a liquor prosecution, yesterday overruled the defendant's motion for a new trial and passed Judgment. Mr. Trickett was fined $500 and the costs of the case. An appeal was taken to the dis trict court, M. A. Waterman and L. W. Kepllnger, the latter as surety. The question of Mr. Trickett's guilt or in nocence must now be determined be fore Judge McCabe Moore of the dis trict court, which is a court of record. When the arguments on the motion for a new trial were called Charles Shukers, an assistant attorney general from Topeka, who was assigned by At torney General Fred S. Jackson to in vestigate the troubles of Mr. Trickett in Kansas City, Kan., made a request that arguments on the motion for a new trial in the Trickett case be post poned for two or three days pending his investigation of the matter. The prosecution opposed any further post ponement, declaring that Mr. Trickett had been found guilty of a misdemean or by a jury and that sentence should be passed. It was argued that Mr. Trickett stood the same as any other citizen, and that no special privileges should be shown him. It was shown that he was not entitled to any more rights than those given other citizens, and the fact that he had called upon the attorney general's office for help was not sufficient cause for the court to ignore the verdict returned by the jury. After overruling the motion for a postponement of arguments on the motion for a new trial, the attorneys on both sides submitted the question of whether or not a new trial should be granted to the judgment of the court without arguments. An adjourn ment was then taken for thirty min utes, to give the court time to write an opinion. When Judge Newhall entered the court room with his opinion every seat in the room was occupied by in terested spectators. In passing Judg ment upon Mr. Trickett, Judge New hall said: "Of this case I have this to say: I as called to this bench to do my sworn duty as an impartial judge, and I have done so. In selecting the Jury I directed the counsel not to select men from the bystanders, but to go out and get fair and unprejudiced citizens. Neither Mr. Trickett nor Mr. Kep linger. his partner and attorney, made a motion to discharge the defendant after the state's evidence had been in troduced. The defendant did not take the stand in his own behalf, and neith er he nor his attorney addressed the Jury. From the evidence introduced and all matters pertaining to the case, ta ken into consideration, I felt I could better execute the letter of the law and mete out justice to all parties by al lowing the Jury to pass on tne guut or innocence of defendant. This I did. with the result you already know. "As the counsel for the state and the defendant have seen fit to waive argument upon this motion for a new trial, and have given the court no fur ther light upon the question of law and facts in the case, the court must decide the matter upon the evidence and facts already submitted. Being convinced that this defendant has had a fair and Impartial trial i must over rule the motion for a new trial, and leave the defendant to his recourse of an appeal to the higher court. In this case I have performed my duty as I have seen my duty and I have per formed it impartially. There is no fear and no favor in the law, and while we all acknowledge the distinguished ser vices of this defendant, his position and his services do not place him above the law, and I must treat his case ex actly as I would the case of any per son convicted of a misdemeanor. In compliance with the statute, it becomes my duty to pass Judgment on the de fendant, and he is assessed a fine of $500 and he stands committed to Jail until said fine and costs of this case are paid." Assistant Attorney General Shukers, in speaking about the passing of Judg ment upon Mr. Trickett, said that he had no criticism to offer and no com ment to make. Inasmuch as he person ally knew nothing concerning the facts In the case or the manner in which Mr. Trickett was prosecuted. 'I am here to investigate Mr. Trick ett's troubles and the manner in which he has been prosecuted," said he; "1 shall sift this matter to the bottom and then report my findings to Attorney General Jackson. I am sure that Mr. Jackson is as anxious to know the true state of affairs as anybody, and if it develops that Mr. Tricnett is being per secuted he will be the first to come to his assistance, but on the other hand, if the evidence Justifies the finding made by the jury, he will be the first to insist that the law take its course." His Private Car Attached. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 4. The private car belonging to Colonel W. C. Greene, the Cananea copper magnate, who arrived with his family from the Orient yesterday, has been seized by the sheriff here and the trip of the Green family to the south is delayed. The seizure was made on an attach-! ment arising out of the suit filed against Colonel Greene, a few days ago by Dr. E. B. Perrin for the recovery of $112,000 alleged to be due the plaintiff, the purchase price of certain Arizona lands sold to Col. Green. Dr. Galbraith, Colonel's Green's secretary, says that the seizure of the car Is merely a result of a misunderstanding.. TAFT MAY CAMPAIGN. Speaking on Trip to Cincinnati Thought to Be but the Beginning. Chicago, Sept. 4. Frank H. Hitch cock, chairman of the ReDublicnn na tional committee, left Chicago today "i AiiuianapuiiB, iieie ne win con fer with Vice President Fairbanks concerning details of the important speaking part the latter is to take in the Republican campaign. Mr. Hitch cock will leave Indianapolis tonight for Toledo and tomorrow will confer with Mr. Taft. Great satisfaction is felt at Republican headquarters be cause of Mr. Taft's decision to make a number of brief speeches on his trip from Sandusky to Cincinnati on Tues day. It Is generally believed that this trip will be the start of a number of speaking trips by the Republican pres idential candidate, although no ar rangements have been made as yet to leave Cincinnati during the cam paign. The demand for his presence in sev eral states is so insistent that it is felt there that Mr. Taft should take a speaking part in the campaign work during the month of October. That is one of the questions which will be considered between Mr. Taft and Mr. Hitchcock. THE SHOOT AT SEAGIRT. Rifle and Revolver Experts From AU Over the Country Present. Seagirt, N. J., Sept. 4. Rifle and revolver experts from all parts of the country are here today taking part in the eighteenth annual shooting tour nament of the New Jersey State Rifle association which began this morning and will be in progress-until Saturday evening, September 12.

Salina, Kan., Sept. 4. Almost an Inch of rain fell here Thursday be tween 10 and 4 o'clock. It .fell slow ly and stopped farmers in their hay and plow work. Reports from sur rounding counties say similar rains fell in the most of Central Kansas. AT NEWTON. Harvey county was visited by a rain which began the middle of the after noon and continued until late in the evening. It will be of immense bene fit to late corn and will put the ground in fine shape for fall plowing. AT WELLINGTON. Rain commenced falling here in the morning and continued steadily all day. It's reported to be general all ov er this county. Farmers are behind with their fall plowing, but this rain will put the ground in as good condi tion as could be wished. AT 'ABILENE. Another drizzling rain thnt has soaked the alfalfa and corn fell Thurs day. The farmers will only stop cut ting alfalfa when frost comes, as it grows as fast as they can get it off the ground. Corn is in splendid condition and promises to be a bumper crop In this county. A SHOOTING AT HOYT. Prominent Physician Fires Four Times at Liveryman Graham. Hoyt, Kan., Sept. 4. A sensational shooting occurred here Thursday which is shrouded in considerable mystery. Dr. J. W. Murray took four shots at Bert Graham, a local livery man, at the Rock Island depot Just as Graham was about to leave the city. A flesh wound is the most serious re sult. Neither of the parties concerned will discuss the affair or what led up to it. Dr. Murray is a well known phvsician here and is married. Graham is single. Graham is not in in a serious condition. It Is Warmer Today. The iig'nt shower Thursday evening, during which nve-hundredths of an inch of rain fell, cleared the atmos phere and the weather conditions to day are of the superfine variety. The temperatures have been uniformly low since morning and during the night they were low enough to cause a scramble for extra covers. The sun has shone in a sort of half-hearted way today through the light banks of clouds which have veneered the sky and Just enough wind has blown to keep the air in motion. Cloudy weath er prevailed over the state Thursday and heavy showers fell tn the southern portion and a few light showers in other sections of the state. The rore cast indicates fair weather with mod erate temperatures for tonight and Saturday which suggests another ideal day. The following were the tempera tures in Topeka since 7 o'clock tnis morning: 7 o'clock 67111 o'clock 75 8 o'clock 68112 o'clock 77 9 o'clock 701 1 o'clock 78 10 o'clock 72! 2 o'clock 80 Weather Indications. Chicago, Sept. 4. Forecast for Kansas: Fair tonight and Saturday. Moderate temperature. STRIKES A SNAG. State at Disadvantage Freight Hearing. in ETident That L. T. S. W. Is Losing Proposition. ON ITS OWN BOTTOM. Showing JIade That It Is an In dependent Line. Really Is Auxiliary to U. P. and Santa Fe. That the state of Kansas is at a great disadvantage in the first round of the struggle for reduced freight rates on Kansas railways has become evident at the taking of testimony in the Leavenworth Topeka railway case before Special Master Z. T. Ha- zen. The Leavenworth Topeka Is oper ated as an "independent" j-ailway, and hence is able to prove, as almost any small line could, that its own freight business Is unprofitable. But from a legal standpoint, the L. T. is not a branch line. It stands on its own bot tom. As a matter of fact, however, the Leavenworth Topeka was bought at a receiver's sale by E. Wilder, treasur er of the Santa Fe railway, for $100,- 000. Its stock, except one share for each director, is all owned by the Santa Fe and Union Pacific railways. The directors and officers of the L. T. are all officials of either the Santa Fe or Union Pacific. Its officers probably receive merely nominal salaries aside from what is paid them by the Santa Fe and Union Pacific. In short the L. T., as an "independent" railway, is a polite fiction of corporate law. It is really a branch line of the Santa Fe and Union Pacific, owned jointly. On its "independent" basis the L., T. has never paid operating expenses, and year after year the Santa Fe and Union Pacific have each purchased enough "bonds" and "notes" from this paper company to supply it with funds to pay its deficits. Altogether the Santa Fe and Union Pacific have paid $175,000 into the treasury of the L. T. to make up deficits in operating ex penses. It will be very hard for the state to prove that a "railway" which is losing money every year, ana wnicn is JUt,- 000 in debt should be compelled to re duce its freight rates, in accordance with the new freight schedule by the state board of railroad commissioners. Of course if the state could find some way of proving that the Leavenworth Topeka is really a branch line of the Santa Fe and Union Pacific, operated as an independent railway merely to serve some obscure object oi the own ers, it would put the line on an en tirely different basis. It would then go in simply as a part of the Santa Fe and Union i'acinc. its losses would be "absorbed" as are the losses of many other branch lines, and it would stand or fall in the freight rate ques tion with the whole railway system of which it was a part. It was shown in the cross examina tion of J. R. Koontz, general freight agent of the Santa Fe. that the Leavenworth Topeka is operated by the Santa Fe and is treated in its tariffs as a part of the Santa Fe sys tem and it is contended by the state that it will be necessary to have an examination of the entire business of the Santa Fe company to determine whether or not the rates proposed by the commission are confiscatory and that the state shall not be limited in establishing reasonable rates for the railroads of the state by the necessities of a bankrupt road which is an in cumbrance upon the Santa Fe. This is the meat of the whole fight up to the present time. The state wants to show conclusively that the Leaven worth Topeka is bankrupt and that the reasonableness of the rates pro posed by the board should not be de termined with the conditions of this road as a basis. What would be true of the effect of the proposed rates on this road would not be true of the big roads of the state. The principal witnesses examined on behalf of the Leavenworth To peka yesterday were J. R. Koontz and E L. Copeland.' Mr. Koontz Is gen eral freight agent of the Santa Fe also of the Leavenworth Topeka. Mr. Copeland is treasurer of the Santa Fe also of the Leavenworth To peka. A. A. Hurd, who is appearing for the Leavenworth Topeka as at torney is also special counsel for the Santa Fe. The taking of testimony was not completed yesterday, and is still in progress this afternoon. It may take several days to complete the evidence for the railway company. DROUTH IS SERIOUS. A Number of Manufacturing Plants Forced to Close. Pittsburg. Pa.. Sept. 4. A long con tinued drought in western Pennsylvan ia and West Virginia is gradually reaching serious proportions and the lack of rain is causing the suspension of many industries. At Greensburg several plants of the H. C. Frick Coke company have been compelled to shut down. Farmers are hauling water for miles. Streams which have never be fore been known to go dry are so shal low that only here and there a stag nant pool is found. This water is scooped up, boiled and used for do mestic purposes. At Johnstown. Pa., two large reser voirs which have supplied the city with water are practicalls' dry apd a third, the Hinckston Run reservoir, is the only hope of the entire city. To day many homes in the central part of Johnstown are without water. Warnings have been Issued to the peo ple to be as economical as possible with the water and new fire rules have been issued by the authorities. At Morgantown. W. Va., the large plant of the American Sheet Tin Plate company has suspended operations on account of the drought. Many lumber, coal and cooking industries along Deckers Creek, are also Idle. SARGENT IS DEAD. Commissioner of Immigration a Vic tim of Stomach Trouble- Washington, Sept. 4. Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of Immigration, department of commerce and labor, died in this city today of stomach trouble. In addition to his stomach trouble Mr. Sargent was stricken with para lysis six months ago and sustained a bad fall at that time. His condition caused much concern for a while but later his friends found cause for grati fication in a slight improvement and he seemed in better spirits. Twice af terward, however, he suffered strokes of paralysis. On Wednesday night he had sinking spells. Physicians were called in for consultation and it was recognized that the end was not far off. He never rallied and the end came at 8 o'clock this morning. F. H. Larned, assistant commissioner general of immigration, who has been in charge of the bureau since the in ception of Mr. Sargents' illness, will continue as acting commissioner gen eral until the office is permanently filled. j Frank Pierce Sargent was born in Orange, Vermont, November IS, 1854, and at an early age became a locomo tive fireman and in 1885 was elected chief of the Brotherhood or Locomo tive Firemen, serving in that capacity until 1902. In 1898 he was appointed a member of the industrial commission by .President McKinley, from which he later resigned. He was offered the place of chief of the bureau of en graving and printing by President Mc Kinley but declined. On July 1, 1902, he was appointed United States com missioner general of immigration. He was a member of a number of clubs and social organizations and a thirty second degree Mason. BIG GUNS TO OPEN. Republicans Are Getting Their Heavy Artillery in Position. Chicago, Sept. 4. Men of national reputation are being selected by the Republican national committee for the campaign and while the definite outline of the several speakers itinerary is in complete, announcement was made to day by Senator Dixson, head of the western speakers' bureau, that oratori cal heavy guns would soon be on the firing line in the western division.

THEY CAN'T GET BACK. Civil Service Employes Who Quit to Enter Politics Must Stay Out. Washington, Sept. 4. A note of warning against federal employes re signing to participate in political cam paigns with the expectation of re-en tering the service is found in a state ment given out by the civil service commission. "Inasmuch as the issu ance of a certificate is discretionary with the commission," says the letter, which is signed by President John R. Black, "no certificate will be issued in any case where the party seeking rein statement resigned with a view to run ning for office or indulging in a degree of political activity which would be prohibited if he had remained in the service and afterward, having failed in his candidacy, or having indulged in the contemplated political activity. seeks reinstatement." WATKINS IS NOTIFIED. The Occasion Was Prolific of Enthus iasm and Good Feel in r. Ada, O., Sept. 4. Before a large au dience in Brown auditorium of the Ohio Northern university. Prof. Aaron s. watkins was officially notified of his nomination as the candidate for vice president by the national Prohibition party. The citizens crowded the streets and university campus. Political par tisanship temporarily was laid aside in the honoring of an esteemed towns man. Robert Patton of Springfield. HI., who was temporary chairman of the nation al Prohibition convention, delivered the formal notification address. When Prof. Watkins arose to respond the vast audience was on its feet cheer ing and waving hats and handker chiefs. Prof. Watkins read a telegram of encouragement from the Prohibition standard bearer, Eugene W. Chafin, which again brought the audience to its feet. BURNED 4,000 HOUSES. Fire at Niygata, Japan, Followed by Desolation and buffering. Tokio, Sept. 4. Dispatches from the city of Niygata in the Ichigo province, 160 miles northwest of this city, tell of a fire which occurred there yesterday in which 4,000 houses were destroyed by the flames. Fearful scenes of desolation and Buffering are reported as a result of the disaster and the government is rendering every possible assistance to the inhabitants of the stricken city. Niygata is a city of over 50,000 In habitants and is an open port on the west coast of the Island of Hondo. Its port is somewhat defective, but the city has a good trade inland and the vicinity of a number of petroleum wells to It lends additional im portance. The government maintains a factory for small arms at Niygata besides a prison, hospital and barrack IT JUSTJAPPENS. The German Army Maneuxers Are in Progress As the Trouble With France Over Morocco Comes Up. KAISElt SAW A SCHEME To Elbow Germany Out of the African Situation. Conclude to Take the Initiatlre in the Readjustment. Berlin, Sept. 4. The French policy In Morocco has been Interpreted in this city as designed gently to maneuver Germany out of any direct part in Moroccan affairs with the ultimate purpose, supported by Great Britain of acquiring that paramount position which was the object of France pre vious to the Algeciras conference. The French alniB are regarded today as be ing precisely what they were befora Germany brought about this confer ence and they come therefore into con flict with the present demonstration of Germany. This also may be described as exactly what was held to previous to the Algeciras conference namely the independence of Morocco politically and commercially with no superior position for France or any other power. Germany declines to recognise the theory of the French foreign office tha; France and Spain being mandatories of the powers in Morocco, alone have the right to initiate suggestions. In order to impress this view, the German foreign office took opportunity to bo the first in proposing the recognition of Mulai Hafid. Germany is not dis posed to allow Mulai Hafid to be com pelled to take over large and indefinite French pecuniary claims, the effect of which at the outset of his reign would be to reduce him to the position of a French vassal. It so happens that the autumn ma neuvers of the German army in Alsace-Lorraine, territory taken from France, synchronize with the revivals of the Moroccan controversy. France Is Indignant. Paris, Sept. 4. French official cir cles resent deeply the intimation con veyed in the inspired communications from Berlin to the effect that the real purpose of France in delaying the recognition of Mulai Hafid is to per mit the republic to advance private arrangements for the protection of special French interests. The Asso ciated Press today was authorized to publish the following: "You can categorically deny such intimations. We are conducting no private negotiations, what we are- do ing is in the general interest of all the powers. After Mulai Hafid is recognized we are confident that we will be able to take care of ourselves. The German attempt to make it ap pear that France sometime ago sent a consular official like Dr. Vassel to Fez, also is officially repudiated. It is explained that the man France sent to Fez was a native of Algeria, whose mission was simply to act as custodian of the valuable French archives there. He was in no sense a consul like Dr. Vassal. With reference to the German sug gestion that France is trying to se cure from Mulai advance endorse ment of the loans made by French, interests to Abd-El-Azlz, it is ex-i plained that the French creditors of Abd-El-Aziz hold his jewels as security and that the other loans were made by the Moroccan State bank in which Germany like the other powers has a representative. France is still waiting Spain's ap proval of the terms of the joint note before communicating it to the powers. The Associated Press learns in addi tion to the points enumerated in these dispatches yesterday the Franco- Spanish note to the powers regarding Morocco, will propose that Mulai Hafid agree to reimburse the expenses occa sioned by the international interven tion at Casa Blanca and other Mo roccan points and the points that had to be taken as a consequence of this in tervention to maintain security and or der. France has been informed that Great Britain has answered the Germans-communication proposing Mulai Hafid bo recognized by saying that she will do nothing until she has received the Franco-Spanish note. Italy has ac knowledged the receipt of the German communication but she also says she will make no reply until the Franco Spanish note is received. The convic tion prevails in official circles this afternoon that Germany's coup has failed and single handed Bhe will not go to the point of recognising Mulai Hafid irt advance of the other powers, COL NEVIUS ELECTED.

3 RATIONAL CARE TO FLY INJOPEKA Joseph Blondin Has Plans for an Airship. The Biff Stores Cash Prices OF THE ST TUB TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOITRNATi FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1903. OMAGH The Tonic Treatment Will Pre-, vent and Cure Most Cases of Indigestion. The first essential of healthy diges tion is good, pure blood. Its work Is to furnish a normal flow of the diges tive fluids, keep uD the activity of the muscles of the stomach and take- up the digested food and carry it to the different tissues of the body. The treatment of indigestion Is, therefore, a matter of keeping the blood supply of the stomach pure and normal. Loss of appetite, gas, heart burn and sour stomach are warnings or symptoms that the blood is impure and that, because of it, the stomach Is unable to perform its work. Anaemia, overwork, excesses in eating and the genpral debility following long sieges of sickness are the most fre quent causes of indigestion. To restore the conditions for per fect diegstion, it is necessary to purify ond build up the blood. This explains the reason for the constantly increas ing use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills in all cases of stomach trouble. They contain the elements necessary to make rich, red blood and nave suc ceeded where other remedies have failed. Mrs. William Fulse of 49 Bennett street. Phillipsburg, N. J., whose hus band Is a section foreman on the Pennsylvania railroad, says: "About five years ago I began to be troubled with indigestion which was brought on. I think, by overwork. I was often confined to bed for days at a time and once for three weeks. I had acute pains in my stomach and bowels and headaches in the morning. I could rot eat much of anything as me slightest morsel of food gave me ter rible cramps. The pain was very In tense and Awice the doctor prescribed morphine for It. I was greatly weak ened and run down In health. "I was under the care of two doe tors at dlffernt times but finally gave them up to try Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills which my aunt had recommend ed to- me. I used several boxes ac cording to directions and was com pletely cured as I have had no return of the trouble since and am in good health." If you are suffering from indiges tion you are suffering unnecessarily. You can be cured. Proper attention to diet and the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is all that is required in most cases. The first step is to send today for a copy or our free diet book. Dr. Williams- Pink Pills are sola by r1! drurgists or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price. 50 tier hox: six boxes for $2.50, by the Drl Williams Medi cine Co., Schenectadv N. Y. LITERATURE OKDKRED.

Kan., Sept. 4. Mrs. Mary Kaufman, an early settler of Leavenworth, died here late Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Kaufman was a native of Germany and was 81 years' old. She caine to Leavenworth in 1860. Mrs. Kaufman was the mother of George Kaufman, for many years a member of the city council. Nero, they say, fiddled while Rome burned, but Joseph Blondin of Topeka can outjuggle that old Roman rake by playing the 'cello while flying through space in his airship. Aeronautist, cellist and bookkeeper, that Is the list of accomplishments that Mr. Blondin modestly lays claim to. He prefers to be spoken of, too, In the order named. If he were rich Mr. Blondin would pre fer to be floating around in th am bient atmosphere conducting experi ments with his airship rather than earning money with his 'cello or at the books, but since such is not the case he must perforce resort to the employ ment that brings in the money and having the latter he can proceed with ms experiments in aeronautics. Mr. Blondin has lately come to To peka and is living at 225 Buchanan street. He expects to remain here for some time. He formerly lived here and was employed in the Santa Fe offices. As one of the founders and original members of the Aero club of America, which had in charge the long distance flight of balloons and airships at St. Louis. Mr. Blondin is well known among the aeronautists of this country ana numDers among his close friends many of the noted figures, such as Roy ivnaoensnue. r or some time past he has been located in the west and made several flights through New Mexico. His balloon, the "Albuquerque," is now at the city of the same name in New Mexico. His flights do not embrace the usual "professor" stunt of swinging loose and making a parachute descent. "That's acrobatics," said Mr. Blondin with some degree of disdain, "I do not consider that belonging to my profes sion, I prefer to leave that to acrobats. I am interested in making the flights, the long distance ones, if you please. and working out the problems which will make the airship of economic value." Three thousand dollars is the amount that Mr. Blondin is seeking to raise to construct an airship along lines evolved by him. He has the blue prints of every part and the plans have al ready been worked out successfully, he states, so that it is not a question of theory. "Three thousand dollars seems too small to most men, the smallness of the capital required is what is proving the drawback in my attempt to raise the funds," he continued. "If I should come to some "capitalist asking for $150,000. as many of them do it would be easier for me than to secure one fiftieth of that. My airship is simply of the usual balloon shape, round, which gives the maximum capacity for gas, equipped with a motor but us ing hot air instead of hydrogen gas. I have a special burner for heating the hot air and a special varnish for the bag which meets the requirements more nearly than anything else yet used as a covering. "The use of hydrogen gas has many drawbacks. It is costly to maufacture. For one filling of say 50,000 cubic feet It costs about 1250 and the old method of using iron filings and sulphuric acid is still used to secure the hydrogen gas. This means that the services of from four to twenty men are used and the time used up in filling amounts to sev eral hours. The French army has to take around with it a wagon equipped with the generating apparatus which is heavy and cumbersome. And then whenever you alight with your dirigi ble you have to again fill up with hy drogen eas. "By the use of hot air, not the verbal kind, you do away with all of this ap paratus, air costs nothing, and you can descend as many times as you wish and stay up a great deal longer than by the use of hydrogen gas. Furthermore it takes but three-quarters of an hour to fill a bag with hot air. By the use of my burner you can absolutely control the degree of heat and it is simply a question of increasing the heat or low ering it to raise or lower yourself in the dirigible. Kerosene is used for fuel and Is obtainable everywhere. "It is entirely possible to stay up for days at a time or to alight as many times as necessary for supplies and then resume the voyage without re quiring a refilling of the gas bag. Take in war for instance the enemy might All my type of ship full of shot holes but I still could keep up In the air be cause I could generate hot air more quickly than it could rush out through the holes. On the other hand the use of hydrogen gas would mean your descent to the ground. My plans are compact: the airship could be carried on one horse, the bag folding into the car and the car dividing up into two halves. There is no theory about it all To The Public Announcement is hereby made that A. J. Drechsel will continue the business of the Drechsel Shoe Co., at 705 Kansas Avenue. Mr. Claus Oak, Mr. B. O.

Mr. Blondin doesn't think that the aeroplane will ever solve the problem of aerial navigation as applied to ac tual every day economic neeas. iiic question of whether the aeroplane can Hr via a hooii miverl and that is as far as I think it will ever come.

"The dirigible that can rise up- th crmiiTvri and hover over a certain point combines the essentials for success."

A well known physician lays the majority-of cases of foul breath, bad com plexion, disordered stomach, sick head ache and female weakness to constipa tion and the constant use of violent cathartics to overcome it. We believe women will be glad to learn of a safe, reliable bowel and stomach remedy that is pleasant to take and that the first few doses will certainly produce naturally daily move ments without pain or gripe and in a short time establish a permanent cure. It Is so effective it has cured cases of 60 vears' standing and yet so mild and safe thousands of mothers give it to their babies. Jennie.

After an overland' trip to Colorado in their automobiles and four weeks spent in the mountain state J. M. Padgett and,E. B. Kellam returned Thursday afternoon at 4 o'cl&ck com ing via Manhattan. The run from Hays City to Topeka was made Thurs day. The condition of the roads return ing were about all that could be wished for and the weather conditions were excellent. Seven days exactly were used in traveling the 600 odd miles from Colo rado Springs to Topeka, the trip was made in a leisurely fashion and no records were attempted. On going west they were accompanied by the J. B Betts car in which were Mrs. Betts and daughter, E. P. Metsger driving and J. E. Burrow party in the Burrow car. The Betts party re turned two weeks ago while the Burrow car broke down at Brewster, Kan., just within the state line and was shipped to Topeka, the Burrow family taking the train into Topeka at Goodland. From Brewster to Goodland the Burrow family oc cupied seats In the Kellam and th Padgett automobiles. Making the severe climb tip tortuous canyons and steep mountain roads from Colorado Springs to Crip ple Creek without a mishap was the accomplishment of J. R. Burrow and E. B. Kellam who negotiated the climb of 6,000 feet with their autos. They drove triumphantly into Cripple, Creek and made the return to the Springs without accident though a strain on the mechanism developed a break later and caused some repairs to be made at the Springs. Through an oversight while nearing Colorado Springs from Cripple Creek the Bur row auto was permitted to get from under control temporarily and started to speed down the mountain side. The small break that resulted was repaired and later at Liraon Junction still other repairs had to be made. Following this at Brewster, Kan., another break occurred and the machine waa then shipped home. Mr. Kellam was accompanied by his mother and Mrs. T. J. Kellam, while Mr. Padgett was accompanied by Mrs. Padgett. The total distance covered by Mr. Kellam'a car was 1.774 miles. DIED ON HIS RANCH Oliver Dalrymple the "Bonanza Wheat Farmer" Is So More.

FORSALE I have an idea accepted by experts in the business, as the most practical and successful ever offered, and which sold at sight to 9 of Topeka's most successful and professional men Satur day, August 29th, for $15.00 each. This is a simple practical Idea, and will net the promoters not less than $10,000 the first year, and being a cash proposition there is absolutely no chance to lose. I need $1,000 to put the idea in operation on a large scale, and will sell one-fifth Interest In the idea for that amount. Only a part of the time of the investor would be re quired, not to exceed one hour per day, and as the duty of handling all money and paying all bills would fall on this party, it is necessary that he possess ab solute integrity, gilt edge references, and be willing to furnish bond, which will be furnished by myself. If you want to get in on a proposition that will pay big re turns from the beginning, and be a per manent business, a personal interview and full information can be had by ad dressing B. P.
