T SOLDIERSIN GAMP Three Thousand March Up Kan gas Avenue This Morning. Pitch Their Tents at the Fair Grounds. AltE FOUR REGIMENTS. Two of Infantry, Two of Cavalry and Two Batteries. Men Stand the Hard Hot Well. Trip The first division of the column of troops enroute from Fort Riley to St. Joseph to attend the big military tour nament at the latter place arrived in Topeka at 9 o'clock this morning and marched south on Kansas avenue from the Melan bridge to Ninth street where they swung west to the state house, then south to Tenth avenue, then west to Topeka avenue and marched south to the fair grounds to go into camp over Sunday. The Thir teenth and Sixteenth infantry. or rather about half of each of these regiments formed the first column, and two companies of the engineer corps. At noon the Second and Seventh cav alry and two battalions of light ar tillery swung up Kansas avenue to ward the fair grounds. Both cavalry regimenta were full, with the excep tion of one company from the Second. The troops marched in from Silver Lake this morning, finishing the last stage of their 67 mile journey from Riley to Topeka. The infantry will go from here to St. Joseph by rail, leav ing Monday morning, while the caval ry and artillery will go overland, leav ing the city at the same time. There are Just 3,000 troops camped at the fair grounds, about the size of Washington's army during most of the great battles of the Revolution. Gen. Morton is in command on the march and Col. Gardner commands the in fantry brigade and Col. Ward the cav alry. Religious services will be held at the grounds tomorrow morning under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Two regimental bands will give sacred con certs during the day. The men will Rpend the time quietly resting. The two infantry regiments are camped along the east side of the ground's? at the center. The cavalry occupy the quarterstretch and the ar tillery and engineers have found quar ters In the northwest corner of the grounds. The khaki boys quickly pitched their pup tents and most of them not assign ed to camp duty laid down to sleep. The dusty, dirty men who marched up Kansas avenue this morning were clean and fresh at noon today In time for dinner. Leather buckets and cakes of tar soap and the green grass form ed the perquisites for Tommy Atkins' toilet. The boys stood the last march in fine shape, the only hard stage be tween Manhattan and Wamego, and the heat and dust played the mischief that day. The two Infantry regiments are car rying the 1907 model of Krag Jorgensen rifles, weighing nine pounds and hav ing a range of 2.700 yards. They are a great Improvement on the earlier models of this standard army weapon. HIS SWEETHEART WAITS Joe Kelly May Bo a Pickpocket, But One Girl Doesn't Think So. There is a smooth looking, smooth talking, well dressed young fellow in the city prison today with the charges of picking pockets and conducting a confidence game hanging over him. while down in New Orleans, "Bertha," a pretty French girl, is waiting and wondering why she does not hear from this young man to whom she sent by mail, a thousand kisses" and the promise of "knocking your head off if you don t answer this letter at once." The prisoner gave his name to the police sergeant who booked him as Joe Kelly, but the letter found on him and written by the girl from the southland is addressed to Joseph D'Aapa. The boy Kelly, or D'Arpa was arrested on complaint of Joseph Steele, who gives his residence as Pittsburg. Pa., and who said he is visiting here. Steele alleges that Kelly tried to pick his pockets and film flam him and that further the prisoner Is a member of a gang of pickpockets and confidence men fol lowing the fair. Kelly declared to the State Journal reporter that he Is a Jockey and lives at Memphis, Tenn., that he came here to see the mee3 and had wronged nobody. He said he had been here a couple of weeks stopping at the Chesterfield hotel. According to his story he had played cards with Steele and the lat ter was "making a hallo" because he lost his money on cards and the ponies while trying to get the best of the game. D'Arpa is a French name of quality and the letter found on the prisoner is from a loving girl of good family who has been to a convent in the Crescent city and is now attend ing a business college there. She writes in an affectionate strain to the boy and tells of the anxiety of her family as to his whereabouts. From the tone of the letter D'Arpa is a distant kinsman of the girl's family. Detective Hutton made the arrest at the hotel. August Palm, a bricklayer of colossal strength and the propensity for strong drink, gave the officers a lot of trouble on Kansas avenue last evening while they were trying to ar rest him and had a fist and skull fight with Chief Eaton, before he was finally landed in prison. Officer Pal mer arrested Palm on Kansas avenue while the latter was in a boisterous and drunken condition. Palm showed fight from the start and the big policeman had his hands full with his prisoner. He called the patrol wagon and Chief Eaton responded. They got Palm Into the wagon, but the latter was locoed with the drink and Just before reaching the station struck the chief with his fist. The chief had a strenuous struggle with his fellow traveler but finally landed him In the little iron cage without beating him up. MOX'TE CROSS SUSPENDED.

CAME TO SEE TAFT. Secretary Straus and Powderly Trav eled Down From Washington. Cincinnati, Sept. 12. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Straus, accom panied by T. V. Powderly of the immi gration service, were early callers on Judge Taft today and remained closet ed with him for sometime. Both came direct from Washington and said be fore seeing Mr. Taft that their errand was to discuss a number of particular phases of the campaign. Judge Taft was today invited to ad dress, while in Chicago, the Douglass neighborhood improvement club made up of men representing dif ferent churches, political par ties and business interests. The invitation was extended by Bishop J. C. Hartzell, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who came here from Chicago for that purpose.

SALT COMPANIES WIN. Given a Bis Redaction In Assessment by State board. The state tax commission today or dered a reduction In the valuations of two salt companies operating at Kanapolis, Ellsworth countly, as follows: Royal Salt company, reduced from $400,000 to $260,000. Crystal Salt company, reduced from $280,000 to $90,000. These big reductions on the valua tions placed by the local assessors were due largely to a difference of opinion between the local assessors and the state tax commission on the value of mineral rights. The Crystal is a new company, and has spent $71,000 In development work without any returns whatever yet, and the tax commission figured that $90,000 was plenty for the company to pay taxes on. The other company produced Its books, and showed what It was earn ing, and the tax commission came to the conclusion that It should not be compelled to pay on $400,000. ANTHONY PRESIDES.

TAFT ISSATISFIED Kansas Guaranty Plank Doesn't Conflict With His Ideas. Not Open to Objection Urged in Acceptance Speech. WHITES TO MR. STUBBS Tells Why the General Propo sition Is Bad. Kansas Candidate's Letter Ask ing for an Expression. William H. Taft, Republican candi date for President of the United States, has given to W. R. Stubbs, Republi can candidate for governor of Kansas, a full, but somewhat guarded endorse ment of the action of the Republican party In Kansas in putting a guaranty deposit plank In the state platform. Mr. Taft says that "of course" he couldn't be expected to express an opinion on a state measure such as the guaranty plank in the Republican platform, out that he considers that the Republican plank avoids entirely the objection which he made to guar anty of deposits. Mr. Taft doesn t commit himself to much of anything, but he does declare that the position of the Kansas Re publicans and himself is "harmonious" so far as the bank deposit guaranty proposition Is concerned. The following is the letter which Mr. Taft wrote to Mr. Stubbs: "Middle Bass Island, O., "Sept. 4, 1908. My dear Mr. Stubbs: "I have your letter of August 27th, and I agree with you that the action or tne ttepuDiicans or Kansas as to an enabling act, by which banks in Kan sas may voluntarily guarantee each other's deposits, is very different from tne proposition In the Democratic plat form enforcing a tax against all banks by which they are in effect to guar antee the recklessness and dishonesty of every other bank. Under the sys tem proposed, for instance, in the state of Connecticut, Mr. Hill has shown that in the course of four years the banks and depositors of Connecticut would pay out $400,000 and receive nothing back, and that that $400,000 would go to help the depositors in Wall street banks, which through the manipulation of stock gamblers in control, would use all the deposits for the purpose of promoting wild specu lation. I do not have the statistics, but I have no doubt the same thing, in perhaps a less marked degree. would be true in Kansas. Of course you could not expect me to express an opinion oa state, tnmsurw of this sort. because state legislation is not Involved in the national issue; but you are cerT tainly at liberty to say, what I sincere ly believe, that the proposition in the Kansas platform avoids altogether the objection, which I urged In my speech of acceptance, to the Democratic prop osition for a national enforced insur ance of deposits in all banks. The Kansas proposition comes within the saving clause which I expressly In serted to show that the objection I had to make was not applicable to such a system. "Very sincerely yours, "WM. H. TAFT." Mr. Stubbs' letter to Mr. Taft, In which he called upon the Republican nominee for the presidency for an ex pression, was as follows: "Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 27, 1908. "Hon. Wm. H. Taft, Hot Springs, fVa. "Dear Mr. Taft: Yours of the loth Inst., received. I thank you for the direct manner In which you answer my letter. The situation has not chang ed in Kansas since I wrote you. There is no doubt whatever that you will carry this state by a handsome major ity in November. "My Bryan speaks In Topeka tomor row night on the bank guaranty pro position. The Republicans in Kansas have agitated this question until it has become quite popular and Mr. Bryan is therefore making th!s his paramount issue in this state. We have declared in our Republican state platform for a law enabling the state banks to vol untarily guarantee deposits. While I am president of the Lawrence National bank, and Interested in other banks in and out of the state, I am in favor of a guaranty deposit law which will en able state banks to unite for the pur pose of guaranteeing their deposits. I believe that a law can be framed based on sound business principles that will fully protect the depositors and also strengthen the banks. This proposition involves the same basic principles as insurance of other property and the risk can be more accurately determined than any ordinary fire or life risk. I heartily agree in many respects with your sentiment expressed with refer ence to the compulsory guaranty law such as the national Democratic plat form declares for. A federal law of this character would compel the con servative Kansas banks to help pay the losses and guarantee the deposits of the reckless, speculative Wall street banks, and In my Judgment would be unbusinesslike and unsound. "I would be glad, it consistent with your letter of acceptance you would feel at liberty to indorse the paragraph in our state platform which permits state banks to associate themselves to gether for the purpose of guarantee deposits under the supervision and con trol of the state. "I trust you will accept this letter In the spirit in which It has been writ ten, simply as a matter of Information and with the hope of getting the best results possible out of the situation here In Kansas and not with a desire to have yju indorse this proposition if on the whole you think it does not fairly re flect your true sentiment on this sub ject. With personal regards, I am, very respectfully your friend, "W. R. STUBBS." It Is StlU Warm. For a week and more Topeka has en Joyed the finest kind of early autumn weather and the end is not yet in sight. Today's temperatures have been slight ly below the average for the week and a refreshing breeze has prevailed since early morning.

Mob Finally Eluded and Prison ers Taken Seneca. Seneca, Kan.. Sept. 12, Early last evening word was phoned from Cen tralia that there was a riot'raging there and asking the county officials for help. A log rolling has been drawing crowds to Centralia three last days of this week and amongst the attractions was horse racing. At the races yesterday two negroes, Jim and Allie Johnson, were losers and began showing- bad blood. In their mad rage one of the negroes attacked a boy bystander; this attack called for Interference by Sam Murphy, a white man but his defense of the boy enraged the Johnsons and Jim, the largest of the two drew a knife and began carving Murphy. He fell after being chased by the negro a block when the other negro, Allie John son set upon him with his feet and Kicked him in a murderous manner. There was an immense Jam at the time on the street and the brutality of the negroes caused 'the crowd to take a hand in the affair and a riot followed. There seemed a lynching imminent but through the strategy of Bill Burdett, a deputy sheriff, the. negroes were ar rested and separately- confined in build ings on opposite sides of the street. All this while the crowds fcrew In size and with ropes in hand attempts were made to secure the negroes, ..but Burdette, meantime, swore in large force of dep uties and successfully stood the angry crowd until help from Seneca, arrived, Without parly the negroes were ta ken and securely ironed and brought here overland. A half dozen team fol lowed the officers to Seneca and the prisoners were lodged in the county Jail Just before mmnignt. xne excite ment was so great here on receipt of the details that many hired teams and drove over the country ten. miles to be In at the finish. Two Centralia surgeons took Murphy in charge and gave: on.t-the word tat his wounds are fataLy One gash cut off the lower part, of, nls lungs. FUNSTON'S REPORT.

Frederick Funston expresses the hope that the war department will succeed in Its effort to obtain an additional number of officers to take the places of those on detached duty from their organization.

Company commanders re port that 'a much larger proportion of desirable men are re-enlisted than was formerly the case and that for mer soldiers are returning to the service.

An Infernal Machine Mailed to Jersey Governor. Suspicions of the Postal Au thorities at Once Aroused. DID NOT GET TO HOI. Opened by Inspectors in the Philadelphia Office. Contrivance Contained Powder, Bullets and Matches. Seagirt, N. J., Sept 1Z An attempt to assassinate Governor Fort of New Jersey, has been thwarted by the watchfulness of postofflce employes, who discovered in the mails an In fernal machine addressed to the gover nor. The package was a cleverly con trived combination of powder, bullets and matches, which had been so ar ranged that had the governor opened it in the ordinary way, there is little doubt it would have killed him. That the death dealing package was inter cepted before it had reached its desti nation was due to the vigilance of the postal officials who have scanned the governor's mail with unusual care since the executive's recent crusade against violation of the law at Atlantic City. The attitude taken by the governor when he directed that the excise and other similar laws at the great seaside resort be strictly enforced and even threatened to order out the militia if necessary to that end aroused great re sentment In some quarters. It was to guard the governor as iuch as possi ble from any annoyance arising from that affair that the unusual watch was put on his mail. Several days ago when a package of somewhat unusual shape was found to bear insufficient postage it was taken by a clerk to one of the postal inspectors. The inspector be came more impressed by the shape and condition of the package than by the shortage of stamps and at once wrote the governor informing him that a package of suspicious appearance ad dressed to him was being held at the office. The inspector asked for permis sion to open it without forwarding it to its destination. The permission was given at once. Wrapper Removed. JExercising the greatest care the in spector and his assistants removed the wrappings from the package to And that their worst fears were confirmed. It was a real Infernal machine, crude but so cleverly constructed that it was c-aDable of -doing tremendous damage. It contained a quantity oi powaer. ana bullets with matches so arranged that a hurried opening of the package would have set oft the powder and nuriea tne bullets in all directions. That the sender of the machine had a grim sense of humor became appar ent from an examination of the con tents of the package. On a bit of paper he had written a message to tne gover nor which read: "Please notify us promptly of any change in your postomce address. Another read: "You will know me better after we are acauainted. Another line by which It is believed the sender sought to give the Impres sion that the machine was sent by a foe of constitutional government In stead of a personal enemy of the gov ernor reads: "And the gun against this rotten gov ernment." Governor Fort said today that he did not care to discuss the matter in any way. "It speaks for Itself," was the only comment he would make when he was questioned about his narrow escape. Pieces of the wrapper from the pack age are now in the possession of the governor, having been forwarded to him by the postofflce inspector who in tercepted it. It was learned here today that the officials of the Philadelphia postofflce have arranged to make a close exami nation in future of all packages ad dressed to the governor.' Every pack age of every kind w-hich reaches the Philadelphia office bearing the gov ernor's address will be submitted to in spectors and officially passed before it will be permitted to reacn tne gov ernor. Mailed in Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Sept. 12. The postal in spectors in this city admit that they are Investigating the mailing of an in fernal machine in this city to Governor Fort, of New Jersey, but will discuss the case no further. It was learned, however, that the postal authorities have little hope of catching the person who mailed the package. Thfl nackaere was mailed on August 2S the dav after Governor Fort issued his proclamation regarding the sale of liquor on Sunday in Atlantic City. The device was contained in an ordinary two cent government envelope and the Philadelphia authorities had their at tention attracted to it because its weight required the placing of a two cent stamp on it. Becoming suspicious the postal inspectors were notified and after an examination of the package. W. D. Ryan, an inspector, wrote Gov ernor Fort as follows: 'We have in our possession a sealed package withdraw from the mails in this office addressed to you at Seagirt. N. J. Your name and address has ap parently been cut from a newspaper. It is supposed this package contains an explosive of some sort and as it is sealed I will thank you to advise me as to the disposition you wish made of the same. By your permission I shall open the package in question and should it contain a nonexplosive sub stance and something of value I shall forward same to you under official cover." Governor Fort replied that he wished the authorities to open the package and forward him the. contents no matter whether the contents were of value or not. A Picnic for the Woodmen. Salina. Sept. 12.

Sensational Charges Are Made Against A. Booth Co. By Bankers Who Hold the Con cern's Paper. FOR 3 YEARS PAST It Is Alleged S 1.200.0C 0 of the Liabilities Has Been Carried on the Asset Side of the Books. Chicago, Sept. 12. Revelations of a sensational nature were made public today regarding the failure of A. Booth Co., the 312.000,000 fish, game and sea food corporation which was placed In the hands of a receiver Thursday. That the concern's books have been juggled for' a period extending back at least three years Is charged in a cir cular sent out by t!e interested bank, ers who also set forth that in the com pany's statements 31,200,000 had been deducted from the liabilities and the books made to balance by a similar juggling in the asset column. By reason of this manipulation. It ia alleged the corporation has been en abled to float paper that otherwise might not have been accepted by the purchasers. So serious are the various charges that It was freely predicted the failure would find an echo in the criminal courts. Members of the Booth family, however, are said to be in no way In volved In any questionable transac tions. They are said to have been the heaviest losers by reason of the mis management of others, in whom they had imposed confidence. The statement of the bankers bears the following signatures: 'The First National bank of Chicago, "By F. O. Wetmore. vice president. "The Corn Exchange National bank of Chicago. "By Ernest A. Ham ill. president. "The Continental National bank of Chicago, "By Alexander Robertson, vice presi dent. "The Commercial National bank of Chicago, "By Joseph Talbert, vice president."

There are in all more than 100 banks throughout the country that hold the company's paper. "A. Booth Co.," the bankers' state ment says, "informed us that the In creased liabilities -shown as compared wUlv tb. ionn)ay's pretvioua statements were caused by the manipulation of the figures In the annual reports for the three or four years ending April 30, 1907, and that in the statement of the later date that there had been deduct ed 31,200,000 from the liabilities and similar amounts from the assets to make the statement balance."

It is said Mr. Vorys took with him, no specific recommendation from the candidate. Mr. Taft gave It as his opinion tha this western trip would not extend as far west as the coast, al though he was not certain about it. Mr. Vorys will also confer while in New. York with John Hays Hammond re garding the work of the National League of Republican Clubs of which Mr. Hammond is president. Secretary Straus of the Department of Com merce and Labor and T. V. Powderly of the Immigration service will be here today. They All Want Him. New York, Sept. 12. Since the an nouncement that Mr. Taft would make a number of speakin" trips during the campaign the demand for him has been so great that Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock of the Republican commit tee is having difficulty in arranging a satisfactory itinerary. Practically ev ery state wants him and it is possible that before the campaign closes he may be swinging around a circuit' speaking in every state where the re sult is not a foregone conclusion.

Topeka Wins Another Game nj Garrison Finish. Beat Webb Citj bj Score of 6 to 5. IT LOOKED HOPELESS. Game Was Won Largely on Webb City's Errors. Umpire Gus Alberts Was Real Mad and Quit. "Milton's Paradise Lost" Is the title of the baseball story today. In ability of the "Webb City team to heave the ball with accuracy caus ing the loss of the opening game to Topeka by a score of 6 to 5, after it had been won and tucked away by Milton's proteges. The game went eleven Innings and like its many predecessors during the present home series there was plenty of excite ment. In many ways the game con tained more of the unexpected and exciting than any previous game, and that is going some. j The local cause from the start looked hopeless. Hendrix was hit hard and taken, out after three In nings. Roach, who was substituted, did no better, and Rip Hagerman took the firing line just in time to ke?p the Trfpletts from further danger, allow the locals to catch up and then win out In the eleventh in ning. Handsome Larry Milton worked for the visitors, and made a good ap pearance befoTe the crowd of femininity who had gathered to wit ness the conWot because of the in ducements -offered oa.. these semi weekly dates. Milton hasn't won a game from Topeka this season, but started out like a winner Friday. Not until the sixth inning could the lo cals score. But although Larry is credited with the game, it must be said for him that he deserved to win, and would have dome bo had he been accorded support. Three errors at critical times lost his game. Umpire Gus Alberts resigned in the third Inning. Cole fanned on some questionable strikes and the crowd got after Augustus Spartacus, causing him to abandon his job. "I'm going to quit my Job and go back to town," quoth Topeka'a first manager, and without further ceremony he donned his straw hat and left the grounds. Milton threatened to quit too, but being urged by Harry Cheek and others to remain, stayed it out and player umpires were the only re course!. Root and Taylor alternated on the batten and balls and strikes and did satisfactory work. The Tripletts were sure enough winners at the start and had five runs accumulated ere the locals had crossed the pan a solitary time. In the flrrt Pokorney singled just too high for S. Olon to reach and scored on Zlnk's double to right center. Two more were added in the third on a single by Pokorney, Andrews bob liln of Kink's grounder and Jimmy Cuthbcrt's double to left center. This was enough for Hendrix and Roach was called in to work against his old comrades. He fared well enough un til the sixth when a single by Cuth bert. a double by Cheek and another by Milton netted two runs. Roach continued two more Innings but finally gave way to Hagerman. With this cluster of runs to com bat, the locals started out in the last of the sixth. Abbott opened with ,a triple and scored when K. Olson's long foul was caught by uutrtDert. Milton's paradise was threatened in the seventh, but stupid base run ning Bnd coaching held the locals to two reus In this inntng. With one down, Wooley drew a walk and Mil ton taking no chances on Davis made another donation. Andrews singled and Wooley scored. Abbott and E. Olson singled in succession, Davis scoring on the latter's hit. Andrews too could have scored but was held uy pr cuaenras. tl.

The Oklahoma City papers have quit printing the attendance at the games in the Met town. Patronage is falling on to sucn an extent since the Mets were put out of the running, that the papers are ashamed to tell about it. The present series will probably mark the farewell appearance of Harry Cheek, the plucky little catcher of the Webb City team, and the best catcher in the league at the present time. Ever since Topeka joined the old Missouri Valley league, Harry has visited To peka three times every season and has grown in favor with the local fans on iVfj! Darkey Hall, tlie Clever Little Racer Been in KxceJIont Form and Has Fre quently. Shown Ability on the Grand Circuit This Summer. each successive visit. First he came with the old Sedalia team and since the transfer to Webb City has been with the team of that city. Next sea son he goes to Baltimore and the good wishes of the Topeka baseball populace follow him. Art Griggs has returned home after playing in the Texas league during the season which has Just closed. Art started with Shreveport and went to San Antonio early in the season. He pitched a few games but has played most of the season at second base aud led the second sackers of the league. Next season he will belong to Armour's flock of Mudhens at Toledo, Ohio, in the American Association. He came home on account of a spiked hand. Woolev isn't credited with a hit in the opening game against the Tripletts, but he certainly should have had one but for a poor decision by Umpire, Al berts. In the first inning Wooley laid down a perfect bunt after Cole had walked. It was down the third base line and stopped dead still Just before reaching the line. Alberts called it foul. The Oklahoma City News says: "Coo ley dodges the offer of the Mets to play a post-season series for 8500. He says the games would have to be played under favorable conditions. That means that Setley would have to um pire and the games would have to be played on the Topeka grounds with the usual pop bottle brigade present. Not so. Cooley is anxious to make a little post-season money and is willing to play the Mets. Why doesn't the News frame up a challenge and send it to Coolev Cooley would play the Mets in any town but Oklahoma City or Wich ita. Now let President Moist sDeak uo out up his money and get down to business Instead of "shooting off" in the News. ;S Pitcher Earl Burnum. of the Trip letts has been reinstated after having been' suspended. He celebrated his re turn by holding the Midgets to a soli tary hit in the five inning game of a double header Thursday afternoon.

The Joplin team is in a slump and it is said that many of the other pitchers 01 the team are loafing and playing oft, t so that their records won't be injured. -But not so with the slender doctor. He pitched two games -Thursday when he wasn't able to work in one, and the Io cals only won by a slender margin in -each. i One feature of the Western Assocla-', tion race at the present time, is the fact that the Oklahoma City papers are keeping themselves muzzled. But then they really haven't anything to talk about now. Talk about good pitching. Selby ha; won the last eight games he pitched. And considering the fact that he has been up against some of the best teams' and best pitchers irf the league this isn't a bad record. The big leagues must be long on out- fielders or else the W. A. must be mighty shy. But one outfielder has t been drafted this season and the lucky one was Cobb of Joplin. In the mean- time Wooley, the best outfielder in the league, is passing unnoticed. Some funnyisms and brush gossip 1 from the Atchison Globe: Mike Weldy," who played with Minneapolis last year, and who led the American Association in batting, and who is an ex-member of the Chicago White Sox, will play with the Atchison team next Sunday and Monday against Blue Rapids. Starr will pitch one of the games for Blue Rapids, Weldy Is owned by the White 1k VV m Mat av Sox. He has been ordered to report to Chicago, but he says he won't go, and has returned to his home in Leaven worth. It is said that he doesn't like Comisky. Dick Brown has been released, and will not return to Atchi son with the team. He played a rotten game last Sunday, and disgusted the fans. He made three rank errors and fanned out every time he went to the bat. He has been playing rotten ball ever since he has been with the team. Atchison defeated LJoffs yester day at Gofts by the score of 4 to 0. Baird was in the box for Atchison, and Page pitched for Gofts. It was a good game. Atchison is playing Blue Rapids at Corning today, tomorrow and Saturday. The Blue Rapids baseball team will disband next Tues day. It plays Atchison on Sunday and Monday. Frankfort will probably play Atchison a week from next Sunday. Atchison will break up a week from next Monday unless It secures a date with the Kansas City Blues. Topeka lias backed down on the SoOO bet propo- sition. Frankfort won the last two games played with Blue Rapids. So far this season Blue Rapids has won nine games from Frankfort, which has captured only seven from Blue Rapids. Atchison has taken seven out of 13 games with Blue Rapids. HAS A BIG EAR OF CORN.

B. Col lett, receiver of the Atchison coal mine, has accepted a proposition to sell the mine for Its debts the pro posed purchaser to have the privilege of "backing out." If he sees fit, at the end of thirty days. The deal there fore amounts to nothing more than a thirty days' option. The proposed purchaser agrees to pay $137,000 of debts, and all court costs. Of this amount, $37,500 represents money put up by citizens of Atchison to oper ate the mines, after the original com pany made a failure. That is. It was agreed that the money raised for a second attempt should become a debt against the mine. Of the lo cal indebtedness of $137,000, all is held In Atchison, except $12,000. Al together, the people of Atchison spent $387,000 in trying to make the mine a success. If the present deal goes through. $137,000 of this amount will be paid back. To state it another way. Atchi son people raised $200,000 in cash from the sale of stock. This was all spent, and debts amounting to $137, 000 accumulated.

After he made his report, the proposition to buy for $137,000 and court costs came to the receiver. Before accepting the offer, Mr. Collett consulted with a majority of the creditors and they advised him to accept the proposition, their desire being to get the mine in operation, whatever the sacrifice. Mr. Collett was looking over the books today, and says that of the $200,000 put up by Atchison people, all of it except $9,000 was sub scribed by citizens who can afford to lose it. Wm. Carlisle and George W. Pennell will be the biggest losers, $50,000. B. P. Waggener will lose $17,000; Jos. W. Allen, $11,000: Mrs. M. P. DeForrest. $11,000; E. W. Howe, $10,500; BHsh.

Sept. 12. A function which will mark an epoch in Kansas Woodcraft and to be participated in by possibly the largest assemolv of Woodmen ever gathered together out side or a state convention, will be held in Chanute Monday evening, Septem ber 28. The event is primarily held "The Blood is The life." Science has never gone beyond the above simple statement of scripture. But it has illuminated that statement and given It a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is "bad" or impure it Is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, Shn mind and judgement are effected, and'taany an evil deed or Impure thcghn)MtKrectly traced to the Imputyof the btb Foul, impure blood fan be made nnre by t.ln n of Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, 1 rnrirlies and nnrifiRS the hlood thereb curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and other cutaneous affections, as eczema, tetter, or salt-rheum, hives and other manifestations of impure blood. In the cure of scrofulous swellings, en larged glands, open eating ulcers, or old sores, the "Golden Medical Discovery "has performed the most marvelous cures. In cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers. It is well to apply to the open sores Dr. Pierce's All-Healing Salve, which pos sesses wonderful healing potency when used as an application to the sores In con junction with the use of "Golden Medical Discovery "as a blood cleansing consti tutional treatment. If your druggist don't happen to have the "All-Healing Salve in stock, you can easily procure it by inclosing fifty-four cents in postage stamps to Dr. R. V. Pierce, 663 Main St Buffalo, N. Y., and it will come to you by return post. Most druggists keep it as well as the "Golden Medical Discovery." Ton can't afford to accept any medicine of unknown composition as a substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery," which is a medicine or ksowjt composition, having a complete list of ingredients in plain English on' its bottle-wrapper, the same being attested as correct under oath.

Salina, Sept. 12. The young man who robbed the money drawer at the Andress lunch room was very clever. In fact the proprietor did not learn hid name- The young fellow applied for a position in the evening and worked with a will. Along In the next afternoon, Mr. An dress went over to the Union Pacific depot on business. Mrs. Andress about this time went into the kitchen and the young clerk was left alone. When Mr. Andress returned the first thing he sold was a bottle of pod. When he went to put the nickel into tne tin Why," he exclaimed, "where are all those bills gone? Thirty dollars in paper money was missing ana aDout 4 in silver. Mrs. Andress made a hurried examination of the place. "The clerk is gone, too," she said. No Epidemic of Glanders. Iola. Sept. 12. A theory that an epidemic or some dangerous and con tagious disease, probably danders. had broken out in a herd of valuable horses belonging to A. Weast. three quarters of a mile south of Moran, was proven erroneous, when Dr. F. S. Beat- tie, veterinarian, with Charles X. Bol linger, sheriff, investigated and exam ined the affected animals, and declared that the disease was not glanders and that quarantine was necessary. NOT IX DIRECTORATE. Harriman to Remain Out of Denver Rio Grande Board. Denver, Sept. 12. The stockholders of all the subsidiary companies of the Denver Rio Grande Railway com pany will meet at the headquarters of the parent corporation In the Equitable building today, when final official action will be taken on the proposition to con solidate all Into one company under the original name. There will be no con tests and the plan for refunding the system will undoubtedly be agreed to. This provides for the issuing of bonds for $150,000,000. All the indebtedness of the several companies will be re tired and $6,000,000 will be set aside for the extension and improvement of the Rio Grande system. Answering a question concerning the rumor that El H. Harmman would join the directorate of the merged Rio Grande system. J. F. Valle. chief coun sel for the road, who has Just return ed from New York, said: "Mr. Harriman will not be voted director of the Rio Grande system, for the very good reason that he is not Interested in any way in the road's af fairs. He does not, aS -far as I know, own one single dollar's worth of Rio Grande stock. The only foundation for persistent reports of alliances between Gould and Harriman grew out. of the fact that the eastern Gould lines had to do some financing through the firm of Kuhn, Loeb Co.. who are also bankers for Mr. Harriman." Wichita, Kan., Sept. 12. The first bunch of freight goodies to be handed to the Wichita jobbers through the efforts of the new transportation bu reau will be received this month. In fact there are two bunches of the good things, one for the jobbers and the other for the packing houses. Of more vital importance to Wichita is the announcement made by Com missioner Moore of the transportation bureau this morning, that the Orient would establish a "Wichita" rate Into Texas on the opening of the K. C. M. O. railway to Chillicothe. The Ori ent track lacks but 4 miles of reach ing Chillicothe and it is expected that this stretch of the road 'will be com pleted by September 20. At the present time Wichita Jobbers ship to Texas points only on the Mis souri river basis. When the new Ori ent rate goes into effect points on that road will be reached at a reduction of from 43 to 47 cents per hundred from the present ruling. The present rates to Chillicothe and the new ones are as follows: New: First class 81c: second class 69c; third class, 57c; fourth class 62c. The present rates are: First class, S1.27; second class, $1.15; third class, $1.04; fourth class 95c. By November the Orient expects to have the connecting link between the Wichita and Sweetwater portions of the track. There are about twenty miles yet to build and when this is completed new rates to all points south of Chillicothe will be establish ed. These rates. Commissioner Moore assured, will be much more favorable to Wichita than are the present rates to that section. Three towns to be opened by the Orient this month will be affected by the immediate reduction of rates. These towns are Kimberlin, Odell. and Chillicothe. Intermediate points will also be affected by the new rates. Another reduction of rates which will be of vast importance to the pack ing house Interests of this city was an nounced by Commissioner Moore this morning. This reduction is on pack ing house products in less than car lots from Wichita to Ft. Worth, Dal las, Clebourne and other northern Teaas points. The new rate will be 69 cents per Hundred pounds wnere s cents is now charged. The reduction goes into effect September 26 on all railroads. This new rate will establish a prac tically new territory for the interests involved and tne Denents accruing through the increased business will be gratifying indeed to this market. The chief benefit of the new ruling will fall to the neddler car business of the Cud- ahy company. An additional trade of ten to twelve cars per w ecu. m uc the result. Now these neddler cars can operate In Oklahoma but not into aexas oe pause of the Drohibitive rate. This con dition restricts the business materially but the 20 cent reduction will mean much to this branch of the packing industry of Wichita. WILL HELP MEXICAN.

Pe runa for catarrhal affections have found It an efficacious cure, and one worthy of recommendation. You may use this letter in any way adapted to your Interests. Tours very truly, Abraham Bandala. Other distinguished Mexicans have given similar opinions regarding Pe runa. Prominent among these men of universal reputation Is Doctor Agustin Rivera, who writes as follows: Mexico City, Mexico. The Peruna Medicine Co. Gentlemen: In view of the magnifi cent results that I have obtained from the use of your excellent remedy 'Peruna" in several obstinate cases of nasal catarrh, I take pleasure in writ has been his encouragement of outside capital and ready subsidy for the rail roads. When he entered the presiden cy Mexico had but one railway. Since then so rapid has been the advance that nearly all of the larger cities are connected and this largely by American capital. The American Investments in Mexico now amount to over $700,000,000. The industrial and commercial prosperity of Mexico has been greatly promoted by American enterprise and Americans are sharing largely in this result. The foreign trade of the republic already exceeds $240,000,000 per annum and of this two-thirds, both of exports and imports, are exchanged with the United States. With the Harriman line running through the richest district American interests will be greatly benefited. It is expected that the rich rice fields and alfalfa lands will be developed and the products brought Into the United States over this line. There is probably no other thousand- mile stretch in the entire world more advantageous for a railroad line, and it is the wizard of railroads who dis covered this and who will not only have a lucrative return of his invest ment eventually, but in the meantime receives enough to cover practically all his initial expense. In addition to the $10,000,000 already granted Harriman. It is understood that an additional subsidy will be granted covering the short though expensive run between Tepic and Orendain, where connection will be made with the Mexican Central near Guad.alajara. It is generally understood this "is only the beginning of a railway system propos ed by the Harriman forces, and that it eventually will continue down the coast and form a part of the great pan American railway, which is to eventu ally connect the two continents of North and South America.
