THE TOPEK A DAILY STATE JOURTTAS MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1908. IVON AUAST. Tope k a Snatches Victory From Defeat Sunday. Takes Game From Webfeet in Tenth Inning. CONTEST IS EXCITING. Burnum Effective Until, the Final Stages. Saturday's Contest a Slaughter For Cooleysox. Sunday's combat between the base ball cohorts of Topeka and Webb City another one of those frequent cases when the same after having been seemingly lost was snatched from the flames and eventually won. It only took ten Innings to win this one, w hich is a little briefer period of time than usual. "Chubby" Brown, the Triplett Titcher who has been pitching great fames of recent date, was placed on the firing line for the Milton tribe and at the start pitched his usual game. In fact the locals were off color with their hitting and It looked like another of those few hit games. But towards the end he weakened and the Webb City team went to piece again, a critical error tieing up the score. Hagermau was pounded hard in the early stages. He was fouud compara tively easy when the bases were oc cupied, while Burnum on the other hand, was particularly effective in the pinches. Both pitchers had good con trol. The Webb. City aggregation started oft like winners in the first inning. Ris ley drew a walk and went to second on White's sacrifice. Pokorny doubled nd Risley came home. Zink hit. but Poko was held at third and the side retired without further damage. With one down in the sixth inning Ihe Tripletts swelled their tabulation. "Chlmmy" Cuthbert started with a single after William Zink had been re tired. Jimmy stole second and went to third when Eddie Brennan made a poor peg to second. Lofton singled and Cuthbert tallied. It wasn't until the last of the sixth that the home talent tabulated. With one down Wooley doubled to left cen ter and scored when Jason Andrews hit for one base. Abbott followed with a, hit. but E. Olson failed to deliver at this point, owing to a nice catch of a liner by White. The run that tied the game came without a hit. E. Olson was safe when Burnum fumbled his easy grounder. 3. Olson sacrificed. Kahl went in for Brennan and a grounder, to Risley put Emory on third, i-'elby took Hagfrman's turn and sent a hard grounder to White. White had played a brilliant game all during the contest hut foil down here and allowed the ball to get through him. With one down Davis started the fireworks with a single. It was an easy hit one to Kellerman but the ball took a peculiar bounce. Andrews pop ped up to Kellerman. Abbott took one of Burnum'8 twisters in his fifth rib and Davis was forced on to sec ond. E. Olson came to the rescue with a timely liner to left field which would have been good for three sacks had it been needed, but. the hit will be re corded as a two sacker. There wre some nice fielding stunts pulled off during the afternoon. E. Olson and Abbott figured in two nifty double plays. In the fourth inning af ter Lotion had singled. Kellerman bunted down first base line. Abbott scooped the ball up before touching the ground and threw to E. Olson catchims Lofton oft the base. In the sixth when Lofton was on first E. Ol son eanght u fly and relayed the horsehlde to Abbott with the same telling ejffect. And the rest of the Ol son family d.id good work. Sylvester stopped a. grounder with his bare hand after a lojig run and caught Burnum at second in the second inning. No ganve today, but a double header is billed fior tomorrow with the Webb City team, and it will be the last la dies day of the season. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. O. A. E Cole.

Saturday "9 Game. The defeat of the Topeka Cooleysox long past due arrived at the local base ball park last Saturday afternoon, when the Tripletts emerged from the affray with the big end of a 10 to 0 score. Both -Selby and Root worked for the locals and were touched up in great shape. Thirteen hits were regis tered against the Topeka pitchers while the young Mr. Taylor, who dispensed the slants for the visitors, was invinci ble holding the Topeka team to four scattered blngles. The less said about the fielding of the Topeka team the better. Cole dropped three flies in left field, while the in field played a slovenly game. In fact the entire aggregation showed a com plete reversal of form. The feature or tne game was me rai ting of Lofton and Taylor. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R, H. O. A. E- Cole.

Webb City at Topeka. Wichita at Oklahoma City. Joplin at Springfield. Hutchinson at Enid. The Webb City series has been transferred to Topeka. There is no gama today, but a double header will be played tomorrow. This will be ladies' day and a double header on this occasion should prove a strong drawing card. And this is the last la dies' day of the season. After the present serfes, which will be the last home series of the season, the locals take, to the road, where the season will be finished. A series of three games at Wichita and four at Hutchinson, including a double head er at Hutchinson Sunday, will con clude the season. The locals have won thirty-four games on theroad this season and lost but twenty.six, and if they can maintain the road form of the season, the flag will be brought home by a big margin. And a game or two out of the present series will settle the pennant. An interesting series opens today at Oklahoma City.

Bill Zink didn't hit much with the Hutchinson team, but since joining Larry Milton's team has done good work with the willow. Bill's long suit was always hitting as he isn't an extra fast first baseman. Here is an interview with 'Dr. Shive ly, president of the association, which is printed in the Oklahoma City Times. The Times sporting page hasn't a great reputation for veracity, and the chances are that Shively never said it, and that it is a pipe from the sporting editor. The interview: D. M. Shiveley. president of the Western association, was in the city yesterday afternoon and witnessed the game between the Mets and the Salt Packers. "Outside of the incident at Topeka the season has been a success-," said he. "Dick Cooley is to blame for a great deal of the trouble in this league and about the only thing that can "be done with him is to fine him and I have done that three times this season and he is going to pay them all, too. Cooley has caused a great deal of hatred toward umpires with the fars and I would not care what Oklahoma CJty did to him were he to play here again this season." Dr. Shively "sayaithat the Webb City team will give up be sponge this sea son and that another town will take fts place before 19fr.l This will be bad news for Mr. Lawrence Milton.

M. C. A. courts at Ninth and Polk by P. A. Lovewell. thus giv ing him the championship of the city and the Fullerton trophy cup. The winner of the match was re quired to take, three out of five sets. The scores of the sets was as follows: Lovewell took the first set 6 3. Copeland took the second set 6 4. Lovewelt took the third set 7 5 and the fourth set 6 2. There was a small but enthusiastic crowd of ter.nis players and others present at t'.ie courts to watch the conclusion cf the hot race which has been in progress for the past 10 days for the city championship. Copeland had won his fourth round from Col linson and his wml-finals from Smith Bishop with such ease that he was generally looked upon as the "favor ite" in the final round up with Love well, who had come up from the oth er side of the tournament defeating such men :as Stoddard and Homer Sheldon on the way up. Copeland started In to play a fast, net rane against Lovewell, which was the style of game he used with such good effect against Collinson and Bish op. Lovewell lobbed effectively, and managed to keep Copelana wen oack in the court. Atter the first set Cope land abandoned the net game entire ly, and endeavored to win the match by lobbying, and the result was that Lovewell gathered in a majority of the games. In the final set Copeland ing third basemen in the league. At short Burdette White plays a fast game and has a fast throwing arm. Neither are very strong hitters as yet, but another season will see a fine pair of youngsters on the Triplett infield if Milton retains them another year. The Tulsa team made a great record in the O-K league this season, and is knocking for admission into this cir cuit. And Tulsa in the place of one of the Western association towns wouldn't be a bad idea either. Just to show how enthusiastic the Oklahoma City fans are at the present time, is shown by the fact that there were more players in uniform Thurs day than there, were people in the grandstands. Hutchinson Gazette: Jack Holland is feeling somewhat dubious con cerning the possibilities of the Jobbers in winning the pennant, yet tne oia Roman who has twice led the Windy- city players to victory, is highly pleas ed with his team and the dirt they have been throwing up behind as they hit the trail. "Luck has been against us," said Manager Jack. "We have the best team in the association, which is clearly shown in the manner we have been defeating the top-notchers at the home stretch. Yet there is not an other team in the circuit that can head off Topeka, The season is not over, and were not going to quit until the close." Every member of the Omaha team S TROPHY AXD THE WIXXEK, OP TOPEKA IX SINGLES. seemed tired, and Lovewell won with comparative ease. Lovewell is a member of the Topeka Tennis club, and Copeland was one of the Country club representatives in the tournament. The Y. M. C. A. tennis players and the Skene's park delegation did not get up to the finals. The officials who served at the final match were Will Collinson, umpire; George Stoddard and Homer Fink, linesmen. The games were played off with the best feeling on both sides, and the results of the tournament will certainly be to stimulate much inter est in the game in Topeka. It is like ly that next season there will be a strong central tennis association or ganized in Topeka, and probably two tournaments will be held in the course of the spring and summer. Tha city tournament in doubles will begin this week. The doubles will no doubt.- be even more Interesting to watch than the singles, and some fast play is expected. There are 16 entries or eight teams entered. The schedule for the first round is as follows: Neis wanger and Bowman against Copeland and Sheldon. Grover and Weiner against Bishop and Corwin. Ewart and Voohis against Collinson and Stoddard, Fink and Professor Lane of Wash burn against Montgomery and Love well. In the singles the, first prize is a sil ver trophy cup. offered by Robert Fullerton, which goes to Lovewell, and the second prize is a leather racket case, which become the property of Copeland.

Go to the Santa Fe station any day, and the waiting rooms and platform are crowd ed' and swarming with people waiting for the trains, and when the trains ar rive people fall off and on in crowds at all of the car steps. The trains are as long as the engines can pull, and every seat is filled with sweltering and steaming humanity. No. 2, which is a California train and arrives here at 12:05, noon, often has as many as 500 passengers aboard, who fill the dining and lunch rooms of the Harvey House as well as the neighboring restaurants. Nos. 5 and 6 ran In two sections yes terday, and this has been the case nearly every day for several weeks. In order to be sure of a Pullman berth, it is necessary to order a berth days in advance. Not only is the passenger traffic heavy, but in the freight department it is the same. An average of 350 cars of stock pass through here every night for Kansas City, St. Joe and Chicago markets, and as many as 600 cars have passed through in a single night. The stock is principally cattle off the grass from western Kansas, Colorado, Okla homa and Texas. It is carried in im mense trains of 60 and 65 cars to the train. There are so many individual shipments of one car each, that the waycars are unable to take care of the cattlemen who accompany their stock. Accordingly, the Santa Fe is goiftg to establish a system of sleeping cars be tween Emporia and Kansas. City for the stockmen. There will be four cars, con tninine berths for 40 men each, which will be kept here and attached to the fame trains. Most of the cattle trains pass through Emporia between 6 and 12 o'clock at night, so that the stock will reach the maricei Dy eariy morn ir. and the cars will be run to Kan sas'city at night, and brought back in the daytime.

Kan., have already moved the work shops, including the repair shops for cars, to Eads, Colo., and Scott City, .Kan., and it is gen erally given out in railroad clrcjps that the division between Hoislngton and Pueblo, which has been at Horace will run from Hoisington to Scott City, from Scott City to Eads, Clo., and from Eads to Pueblo. Horace is two miles west of Trib une, the county seat of Greeley county. The Tribun men are will ing to give a bonus for the division, bu the company thought the run was too far from Hoislngton to Tribune, hence Greeley county loses the division. WON A $20,000 PVRSE. King James Captures the Champion ship Stakes at Slieepshcad. New York, Sept. 14. Staggering down the home stretch at the Sheeps head Bay course Saturday King James, the 3-year-old colt belonging to Sam Hildreth, gave one of the greatest ex hibitions of real bulldog courage seen within many days. Taking the lead from the drop of the flag, the nlaudit colt never gaye his opponents an op- nnrlnnlK. 4 n r-r i I J 1 uni. in iins an nual championship stakes and at the finish of the long struggle of two miles and a quarter went under the wire a Victor by half a length. Falcada, bearing the Montpeller stable colors, captured second money. Six lengths In" the rear of Falcada, almost ready to drop, was Dorante, which earned the short end of tthe purse. Chief Brant, the only other starter, was never in tha money at any stage of the race. The value of the purse that went to King James was $20,000 and the sec ond and third runners received $2,000 and $1,000 respectively. King James ran the distance in 4:01, which ia the slowest time ever made In this classic. At the same time he added to the list of victors the name of a 8-year-old. This is the ninth running of the an nual championship stakes and during that period seven 3-year-olds hav earned laurels. MtliFOHD AXD OOBE AVON.

Tne State Journal lu a member of the Aseoel.ted Preaa nd recelrea the) fall day telearraph report of that great om or. tinlutlon for the exclusive afteraoos) publication In Torxtka. The news la receive in The State Jmrr e! building over wire (or thia eola pur pose The commercial and financial re ports for the past week show a steady and healthy gain In business In all lines of endeavors. Thia means that old General Prosperity is re turning In that substantial way that counts for permanency. The government's census showing that there are approximately 20.000,000 horses and 4,000,000 mules la the Uni ted States makes It plainly apparent that the horseless age has not arrived as yet despite the activities of automo biles and flying machines. And )t will be a long time in coming. TYom the regularity with which Orvilla Wright Is breaking his for. mer world's records) for tha naviga tion of the air with his wonderful aeroplane there now seems to be no limit to the time he can stav In the air and make a noise like a giant bird except his own desires. The United States regulars who Invaded Topeka on Saturday were not things of beauty by any means -with the stains of hard travel along dusty roads all over them but they had an eminently soldierlike appearance and Beemed to be fitted for the hardships of war at a moment's notice. The state wide fair Is now a thing of the past. And except for the dis courtesy and general all-around grouchlnesa of a few of the officials connected with it, it was a grand and great success in every way. It Is surely a forerunner of an adequate state fair to be held in Topeka and such an institution will not only be of great benefit to this locality but also to the entire state. The carnage resulting from the cele bration of the last Fourth of July is set down by the American Medical associ ation's journal as civilisation's worst shame since the days of the gladiators. This year's victims numbered 6,624 in jured and killed, there being 163 In the latter class. It Is any wonder that the agitation for a sane Fourth is gaining strength with each succeeding recur rence of the patriotic eventf There is a lot of good sense and food for thought In the suggestions made by the delegates to the Rural Carriers' as sociatlon of Kansas at. their recent an nual convention at Sallna. They urge the creation of a new state office to be known as that of a state highway commissioner; the levying of a state tax or license on automobiles, the mon ey received therefrom to be applied to a good roads fund for the widening and straightening of bridges and culverts; and that the dragging of dirt roads be made compulsory. In Kansas' march to progress good roads are essential and plans for their making under the dl rectloa of the state should not be de layed longer. With the commodity clause of the Hepburn rate law knocked out In the first skirmish in the federal court en the grounds, that it is unconstitutional, and following as this does the unfavor able decision to the government In the famous Standard Oil case where the remarkable fine of nearly $30,000,000 was imposed by Judge Landis, it is evident that the legal department of the gov ernment Is having a hard row to hoe 1b getting Interpretations from the courts of federal statutes In accord with the desires and opinions of Presi dent Roosevelt in the premises. And It's further evidence that this business of regulating corporations by federal enactment Is not as easy as some folks think it is. One of the political writers for the Chicago Tribune declares that it Is Just the irony of fate that Mr. Bryan's safety fund scheme for the protection of bank depositors should prove to be nothing more nor less than an Idea originated by the Chinese and put in operation at Canton more than a cen tury ago. This writer Insists that this is a strong argument against the pro position because of its inauguration in a "degenerate kingdom where they pull the plane towards the carpenter and read their letters wrong end to." To say that this argument is far fetched is qualifying It lightly but then it's In line with many other political arguments that are being advanced these days on about every issue in the campaign. If things worked out in practice' as they do in theory there would be many married folks and their families in this section of the world, and in all others too, who would be well on their way to degeneracy; that Is, of course. If there was anything In the' theory advanced by Professor Frank Elackmar, profes sor of sociology at the state university, to the effect that is impossible for young man and a young woman both of whom had been drawing salaries to attempt to live together on 125 a week. A pleasing refutation of this rather remarkable idea- Is that the country hereabouts abounds with married folks of this sort who are living on less than $25 a week and who are quite as far removed from degeneracy as la Professor Blackmar or any one else, who is ndt a degenerate. A REBUKE TO WEAK FAITH. They were laying a church corner stone' in the city of Pittsburg, Pa., re cently, and a multitude In fine raiment and glad millinery were assembled for the exercises, which necessarily were in the open air. Now, fof reasons meteorological rather than excise, there had been dry times In Pittsburg for some weeks back, and It. occurred to the pastor that the corner stone ex ercises might properly be an occasion for a petition for rain. Therefore he prayed for rain, a "fervent prayer, it would appear and others followed with like beseechings. But it seems that there was a lack of faith in connection with some or all of these prayers. For he who prays for rain, -and believes that his prayer Will be answered, will either set a. time of preference for the answering of his petition, or at once make preparations to get In out of the wet These sup plicants did neither, but went on with the corner stone ceremony as if noth ing had happened or was likely to happen. However, they had prayed for rain. Therefore, if there was any blame to be laid they were the ones to bear U when, a few minutes later, the rain came down in substantial quantity, to the great detriment of good clothes and millinery. It was not a long rain, but it lasted long, enough to' serve as a reminder that those who pray would do well to pray In faith or not to pray at all. NOT COMMENDABLE. What will not some women dare for the sake of notoriety? In Chicago a few days ago one walked out on the street dressed in a sheath gown of the most advanced style, and soon had the street so blocked and mobbed that the police had to Interfere. She was arrested by. the police and the. police Judge fined her five dollars, but it is not sure whether she was fined for wearing the gown or for creating a disturbance in public. A day or two later a Boston woman appeared on one of the main streets dressed in a regular bloomer costume, and' she also created such a disturbance that the police had to interfere. Did these women have any other ob ject In view than notoriety? Prob ably not. They wanted to attract no tice and were not at all particular aa to the method adopted. If there was any expense or humiliation connected with their arrest it is not doubted that they felt amply compensated by the free advertising they got and the at tention they attracted. But on the, oth er hand there is another way to look at it. From the accounts of the two affairs neither of the women was real ly dressed indecently nor was there anything immodest in their manners. Neither of them violated any law. They merely went contrary to the cus toms and habits of others. The only law that the women viol ated, so far as appears, was the law of conventionality. It was not vulgar to wear such costumes on the street. but It was not proper according to the conventions, and their object was no toriety more than anything else. But what shall be said of the mob of men who thus crowded and blocked the streets to gaze at these unconventional women? Were they good specimens of the American gentlemen? If the wo men dared to transcend the conven tional customs, even' though they may have done so for no better reason than to attract attention. It cannot be said that the male mob set a good example. For all that, n good woman should not set her own ideas against the best Ideas and customs of her sex, for she Is not likely to gain any credit by the act. A GREAT UNDERTAKING. Preliminary work on the Winnipeg Hudson Bay route by railway and steamship from the middle of Canada to Europe has already been begun. A party of engineers, woodsmen and oth ers fitted for the service has left Win nipeg to survey certain possible rail way routes to the bay, and more will soon follow. The party will divide at some point, and it is likely that the way chosen will be made known before the win ter, early In that region, sets In. Two are spoken of as alternative, and the terminus talked of is either Port Churchill or Fort Nelson. Both are on the southeasterly shore of Hudson Bay between 55 and 60 de grees north latitude, and somewhat nearer the great wheat field of Mani toba and that region generally than any place either north or south of them. The steamship route will be thence northeasterly to Hudson Strait and around the northeast side of Lab rador to the Atlantic ocean, thus mak ing a short cut to Europe. The project Is based apparently on the possibilities or probabilities of the grain trade of the future, and what is regarded as the certainties of that trade In the present. Canada is rais ing now at least three times as much wheat as her people will need between harvests, and It seems likely that with in ten years from this time she will be raising ten times as much. She will have a much larger popula tion probably but the increase In that Is not expected to keep pace with the Increase In the wheat yield; and per haps other kinds of grain. Her peo ple want facilities for the proper hand ling of their own crops for export through their own territory; and no doubt they are thinking also of the foreign trade In the mineral products of their soil, most of which is, However, yet to come. Perhaps, also, they see hat the fa cilities for the transportation of "the western products, of tnla country are not likely to -be developed? they should: be for many years to come; and so they, expect to carry this coun try's grain, or some of It, to one. of their ports, as they are doing now, and thence send it to Europe. Looked at from all sides. It seems to be a stupendous undertaking for a small nation. For. Canada has today less population than the state of Penn sylvania and very much less than the state of New York. Canada's largest city Is Montreal with but about 270,000 inhabitants. However, the people of Canada are wise, plucky and enterprising. And though no such millionaires are heard of among them as there are In the Uni ted States, they have money enough in the community," and the courage to un dertake those "enterprises of great pith and moment" which they foresee will In time fill up" and develop their country and raise it to a rank that will make the name Canada familiar among the nations of the world.

Although money Is a great talker most people find it hard work to fcet Into conversation with it. Most children do not seem to be particular as to how often their par ents speak to them about their mis behavior. It takes a child a couple of years to learn to talk and then it takes the rest of a lifetime to learn to keep from talking too much. Probably some men have such poor luck in their quest for. a wife because the girls believe that people who marry soon grow to look' alike'.

GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.J We occasionally meet a man who ought to stay at home and send his wife out. We have noticed that the louder and harder the telephone rings the more unimportant the item. When you find a good husband, the women nearly always say: "His wife does not care much for him." A man doesn't regard his children as kin: cousins, aunts, and uncles, and that sort of thing, are kin. In addition to the punishment that belongs to him, every man gets a lot that he can't account for. A music teacher who can't play, but who claims to be able to teach, always reminds us of a lot of other people. "I never see an old man that he does not cause me to shudder; he seems so neglected, and helpless, and hopeless." Parson Twine. Two railroad men were quarreling the other day. One was a short man, and the other was tall. Satd the short man to the tall man: "There is one thing that keeps me from kicking you: I haven't got a step ladder." When a girl's dearest friend gets married, and she describes the hus band to you, take off one quarter for enthusiasm, and then a quarter for ig norance. If she says the bride-room is a very rich man. It means that he gets possibly $85 a month. War has been declared on the Ameri can buggy ride. It is claimed that in the east it is very bad form for a girl to go riding with a gentleman to whom she is not engaged, though this prac tice is quite common in the west. There is also an impression in the west that when two young people are engaged, they have a right to do whatever they please. This Is an exceedingly bad no tion. Engagements of marriages are as easily broken in this country as en gagements to dinner. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Man's bravado Is a weak reflection of woman's heroism. i When a girl has handsome teeth it's a sign she thinks it's also eyes. Most people are meaner about the way they forgive yott than the way they wrong you. The man who keeps a record of his chest measurement never has anybody making notes about his brains. KANSAS COMMENT KANSAS IS GROWING. More .than ...a million and a half people in, Kansas, according to Co burn's report; last year's gain of .689; the assessed valuation of the state six times what It was two years ago; the Kansas farm land worth over a -billion dollars. Pretty good for "bleeding Kansas," is it not? Pretty good for the state which, a few yeara ago- wa the butt for Jest and ridicule all over the East. Pretty good for the; state which a few years ago avas largely populated by Indians, and that restless class of people who move from state to state, keeping constantly on the frontier so that they need not be restrained by the laws made by man. A few years ago the population of Kansas reached the million .mark and attention was called to the fact that one time one man had said Kansas would reach the million mark before the beginning of the new century, and that his prediction came true was considered remarkable. But Kan sas had passed successively the mil lion, million and a quarter, million and a half and Is now almost at the million and three-quarters, and the years wUl be but few until they will reach the two- million mark. Kansas will continue to grow. She will continue to grow In wealth, pop ulation and in every other way in which a state can progress, r And each year will mark the progress of the common wealth which a few years, ago furnished the eastern Joke writers a good excuse. Salina Union. THE- RAILROAD VOTE. Some of the newspapers are making a sensation of an alleged organization of railroad employes which is to vote against the Republican ticket. -Primarily this is put forward as an argu ment that everybody else should vote for the Republican ticket, and to that extent we .see no serious objection to the story But as a matter of fact, it Is a good deal what the poets call "popyedek."' There is no more Teason why the railroad men of Kansas should vote the Democratic ticket than there Is for them to favor a de crease In the size of their pay checks. Under Republican policies the rail roads are kept so busy that they can not decentlyhandle;all they get, and railroad employes are worked full time and overtlme'at the best wages they have ever received. The rail road man who wants a rest, a lay off without pay. can help it along by voting the Democratic ticket. But the .railroad omn .who prefers to be busy.-itlfed ana prosperous .will vote the-, "Republican ticket and .get that result..-. There Is not as much difference In what is for the interest of railroad men and for. farmers, editors, and merchants asj the demagogue would have us believe and the agitator hopes to arojsse.' There 'never has been a time when the welfare of the railroads was not bound up in a bundle ,twlth. the welfare of the rest of us-.-.The railcoad men'; 'know this and are not going to be. led off on a chase to kill the goose that: lays the ham and ..eggs. Hutchinson 'News. FROM OTHER PENS V. OU,R. FUTURES GENERALS.. Under the new military law the mili tia of all the states is 'being organized as a reserve of the regular army. It is natural, therefore, that the new army, regulations should permit militia offi cers to take -courses of study in the military schools and colleges of the United States' Hereafter the various army schools and the army staff col lege, at Fort Leavenworth, the coast artillery school, at Fort Monre. and the army medical school at Washing ton, will receive national guardsmen as student officers. In our next war these men, as the secretary of war intimated in his address-at the army service school last week, are destined not to be officers of squadrons and battalions, but "to command as colonels and gen erals." Thf American people are historically opposed to the maintenance of a large standing army. They trust implicitly to the potential strength residing in many millions of patriotic freemen. Whether war with a first-class power should come tomorrow or 20 years hence, conditions would be the same. There would be no large army "In be ing." New York Times. INCREASE OF INSANITY. Each succeeding report on insanity In America grows more sinister. ,To the much debated question whether the number of aberrant minds Is increas ing, affirmative answer Is given by the bureau of the census in Its recent bul letin about the insane and feeble minded In hospitals and institutions. The statistics, based upon evidence collected four years ago, "reveals a re markable Increase In the class of in sane to which they relate." Since 1890 both the number of asylums and their inmates have more than doubled; at the beginning of 1804 the 328 institu tions for the insane harbored no fewer than 150,151 Unfortunates. The invest! gators show that this enormous growth cannot be wholly explained away by a corresponding one of our total popu lation, nor by the increased use of hos pitals by those who were once preju diced against them. But, apparently, no attention has been given to the ef fect which a widening conception ot dementia has produced upon the sta tistics. New York Evening Post. TAITS PERSONAL CAMPAIGN. Judge Taft has steadllv grown on the country since his nomination. His Judicial poise, his sobriety of utterance and his attitude of deep responsibility have all Impressed the country. They are what is wanted to give confidence in a period of doubt and depression. The campaign has reached the point where It is wise to make his personal ity known and familiar over the coun try. Every presidential campaign has Its specialickew,pteri8tics ani the con test of 1808 Is marked by its sober discussion and the manifest movement of the great current of public 'opinion toward a conservative desire to see the great issues now opening handled with care, consideration and a judicial scrutiny. c No personal 'charges are made. No campaign orators are aspersing either candidate on either side. There Is an absence of the rant, the talk and the attacks on the "money power" heard in other years. The gravity of the situation is seen and the responsiyi ity of the national decision apprecia ted, but the'inatter Is being argued rather than agitated. Philadelphia Press.-' WHATS IN A NAME?

Enterprising tourist agents profess a wlllnigness to carry the holiday-maker anywhere on the earth and bring him back again in safety. But In making this -offer they are, in fact, promising Just a little too much. In spite of all that explorers have done, there are still bits of the world as completely "bar red" to the average traveler as those private parks, at the gates of which notices are stuck to the effect that trespassers will be prosecuted. We talk a great deal about the white man's power In India. Does it surprise you ot know that there is a country In India, forming an Integral portion of the empire, which no ordinary Briton Is allowed to enter? This is Nepal, whose maharajah has been sojourning with us this summer. By virtue of solemn treaty Europeans are "barred." from the kingdom. They are not allowed to live, or trade, or even travel in it. The only white men tolerated in Nepal are the British resi dent and his limited suite. Tibet is still a sealed kingdom to the average man. No white strangers are welcomed in the capital, Lassa, and, if you want to pay a visit to the grand lamas, your only safe course Is to go with an army. If you cannot afford the army you would better stop away. Korea, too, was for centuries a sealed land, known as the "Hermit Kingdom," into which no white man was suffered to penetrate. It was practically un known to the outside world until the Japanese broke into it. The archipelago of Tierra del Fuego is another part of the world where tourists are not invited. The interior of some of the islands in the "Land of Fire" has to this day never been trod den by a white man's foot, and one of the tribes, the Yahgans, are little bet ter than human monkeys. Many of them are not much over 4 feet high, with wrinkled skins,' big mouths, next to no foreheads, and ferocious tempers. They are cannibals, who eat all their old people, and they are far worse devil worshippers than the Kazaks, which is saying a great deal. A large part of the big Dutch posses sion, the island of Java, has never been explored, and In the forests, for many miles, the air is so poisonous that no man can breathe It. Pearson's Weekly. Remarkable Athletes. If we are to believe the records of feats performed on the Olympian plain, and in the sacred grove of Altis in Athens, long before and long after our Christian era begun, Greece boasted some athletes who could literally "make tracks round" their successors of today. Where, for- instance, could we find a strong man who could hold his own with MIlo, of Crotono, who thought nothing of carrying a 4-year-old heifer on his shoulders through the stadium of Olympla, and crowned this muscular performance by eating the animal in a single day? So sturdy were Milo's legs that, standing on an oiled disk, the next strongest man in Greece could not make him budge a fraction of an inch; while, by merely causing the veins In his head to swell, he could break a stout cord girdling his forehead as if It were a circle of thread. There were phenomenal jumpers, In those long-gone Olympian days. There was one anayllus. for instance, who, in one mighty leap, cleared the amazing distance of 65 feet more than twice the world's record jump of today! It is true tnat f hayllus had weights and a springboard to help him In his flight; but, in spite of such assistance, the Jump remains one to marvel at. and, one would think, impossible to rival. The old Greek boxers were no less doughty and formidable, and none but a man ot bulldog pluck and muscles of steel could hope to stand up against their fists. Incased in nail-studded thongs. It was no nncommon thing for a combatant to leave a nose or an ear behind on the arena; and when Eurydamas, of Cyrene, had his teeth broken, he calmly swallowed them, and made no sign, lest his opponent should chuckle and grow more confident of success. The wrestling, too. was conducted on equally strenuous lines. It was often a .struggle to the death as In that ter rible bout between Arrachion and his antagonist. Arrachion was on the point of being strangled, when, by a last desperate effort, he broke off one of his opponent's toes and won a dra matic victory. It was dearly won. however, for at the very moment of triumph he died, and the crown of olive was placed on his corpse. London Answers. Glass Announced Death. Hospital attendants are not supersti tious. This may be because they see death In its multiple forms, and there fore become calloused and skeptical. An Incident at the city hospital yesterday, however, will long be a subject for con jecture and discussion. On the desk In the receiving ward a water glass, stainless and very heavy, is kept tor the use of the employes. To guard aaglnst its breakage It is placed In a corner of the desk where nothing can strike it. Yesterday afternoon, when there were no patients In the ward, a sudden click was heard. Archie Miller, an attendant, looked at the glass and noticed a crack about half an inch long in It, which had not been there before. Scarcely 10 minutes elapsed when the telegraph Instrument announced the death of Louisa Young In the children's ward. The coincidence might have been for gotten had not 20 minutes later tha same click been heard on the desk, when Miller again looked at tha glass and noticed a second crack a trifle longer, than tha first. .Again there was a short interval of silence, when tha ticker spoke once more, telling of the death of Edith Williams, also In the children's ward. By this time the strange warning became a subject of, comment in the ward. j A third time, however, the omen was repeated, the glass sprung another' crack, and shortly after, the death or Joseph Manning, who lived at 424 West Third street, was announced. "Gee wll liklns!" shouted Miller, turning pale, "Say, I'd like to go across the street." And ha did. Cincinnati Enquirer. THE EVENING STORY Obliging Jordan. W.T.. Bryan. x "Well, sir?' George Jordan swung around In his office chair, and regarded Sidney Har lan with a portentous frown.

"You are afraid to risk it In a speculation which, I believe, will do better even tnan the ten per cent I nronhesied. Then you hang on to that absurd farm which la 'bound to be valuable some day" because it is on the water front. "It is valuable already," Interrupted feianey. "in a year from now "It will be worth just as much as It Is worth today and will be the same five years hence. A paltry bank ac count and a hundred acres of your farm, and yet you insist that you are entitled to come here and bother me about Vera every six months. It's ab surd. It wastes my time." f'But thia time broke In Sidney pleadingly. "Last time it was the rumor that a trolley line was to be built, and you wanted to cut your farm up into build ing lots. You're dippy about the value of that land. I've got 200 acres more tnan that. 1 11 sell you for your $8,000 cash. That s about $40 an acre. "I'll take you," agreed Sidney, as he drew out his check book. "Will you havo the transfer made out at once." Jordan stared incredulously. It seemed too good to be true. Though he waa a rich man, Jordan was ter ribly pressed for ready cash with which to swing certain deals, and this $8,000 would solve several financial problems. Rising he led the way across -the hall to the offices of his lawyers, In structing them to make Out a deed to Harlan, and the latter sat down to wait for it, being assured that it would reauire but a few minutes. The clerk did not explain 'that a sim lliar deed had been drawn up only a few weeks before, when Jordan had sought to sell the ground for half of what he was setting from Harlan. The deal had fallen through, and it only remained to recopy the document with the new name ana terms, in twenty minutes Harlan owned the property, and an office boy was on his way to the bank with the check for Jordan. Harlan followed Jordan to his own offices, but at the door the elder turned. "If vou think you have won my ad miration with any such grandstand play as this," he said brutally, "you have made a mistake. You're paying twice what that land is worth, just to call my bluff. That's not the sort of a man I want for a son-in-law. I want a man who can drive a bargain, not one who can be fooled the way you have been." "If you will let me explain began Harlan, but with a laugh Jordan shut the door between them. He was still chuckling over the incident when a card was brought In, to be followed by a sharp, eager-looking man, a local real "Uncommon cheerful you look," com mented the newcomber, as he took a chair uninvited. "Just been turning down my aaugn ter's suitor and getting rid of a lot of useless real estate by loading it on him," responded Jordan with a chuckle. "That's the seventh time I've told Harlan that he couldn't marry Vera-" "And vou sold him that parcel of land out by the laker asked the other man. Jordan nodded. "And at forty an acre," he said with a grin. "Got rid of the whole two hundred acres. He's an idea that some of these days the land Is going to be worth something. I knew he had $8,000 in bank, ana J. let mm Duy the lot for lust what he had. I bet he can't even Day the taxes." "You haven't delivered the deeds yet, have vou?" "Did you think I was going to give him a chance to cool our" aemanaea Jordan. "That's not my way of doing business. I Just took him across the hall and had the deeds drawn ana turned over to him. The money is In thA bank now." "And you can't possibly get it back?" asked the other man anxiously. "I couldn't be forced to take It back," was the answer, followed by the rumo ling laugh. "I've put that parcel on poor Harlan so tight that it's going to stick. What's worrying you about It?" "Jordan, Harlan didn't tell you that he had given 40 acres ot nis iana to the Mower and Reaper people, did he?" asked the agent. "They're going to take a site on the other side of the river," said Jordan, "I picked up a few acres cheap Just the other side of their plant. They employ several thousand people, and there will be a fortune In sites for homes for the workmen." "They were planning to build over there," said the visitor slowly, "but the cost of the land was run up when It was discovered who wanted it. Then Harlan came along and heard of the deal, and gave them 40 acres outright, and looked to the other 60 to make his profit. Now you've made him a present of 200 acres for $40 when I came to offer you an even $100 an cre-" For a moment Jordan's face pur pled. He knew the ground, and he knew that the 300 acres were about all that could be used by the factory and the town that would arise near by. It would be Impossible to pick up any more land, for Harlan's holdings were on a peninsula, and the Jordan tract was Immediately behind that. On the other side of the road was a marsh that it would scarcely pay to fill in. Harlan had the game in his own hands. w The visitor took his departure when he found that Jordan had no land to sell, and the old man was left alone to think things over. As the result of his- cogitations he reached for the tel ephone and called up his house. "Is young Harlan there?" he asked when he heard his daughter's voice In answer. "Tell him to wait." he added. "Ask him to stay to dinner. We might as well settle when you two are to be married." "I wanted to let him in on my in-, formation," explained Sidney when 1 Vera demanded light On the peculiar message. "It seems that he wants his son-in-law to be able to do him and I did him Just to oblige." "And you'll sell tha land back to him?" urged Vera. "Not a bit of it." asserted Harlan. "He wouldn't really like me If I did." (Copyrighted 1908 by Associated Literary Press.) LOOK OCT FOR HER.

Asserting that his official record, his speech of acceptance and subsequent utterances are ample indications of his own politi cal position William 'H. Taft replied to Mr. Bryan's comment on the Roosevelt letter by switching the spot light of inquiry back to Mr. Bryan's own po litical record and making an analysis thereof. This is Mr. Taft's reply: "In my notification speech and In other speeches made since, I attempted to make clear my position on all of the issues of the campaign. If Mr. Bryan has been unable to understand I can not make them clear. I stand on my record in office and what I have said. Mr. Bryan should devote a little time to his own record, from which he seems to be struggling to separate himself. with all the adroitness acquired in a 12 years" hunt for an issue on which ho can be elected president. "The readiness with which Mr. Bryan In successive presidential cam paigns passes from one paramount is sue to another shows that the chief consideration which affected his selec tion of an Issue ha3 been its plausibil ity in attracting votes. He presents the remarkable spectacle of one who has been seeking the presidency for 12 years without success and without of ficial responsibility and without the opportunity to test the various propo sitions which he has advocated for re forms, and yet of having the event demonstrate what a colossal failure he would have made in each instance had he been permitted to carry his pro posals into the policies of the coun try. He does not now say whether he Is still in favor of the free coin- aeg of silver. 'He does not now answer the ques tion whether if he were president and an exigency should arise in which he would be called to exercise his discre tion affirmatively to maintaining the parity between gold and silver he would exercise that discretion. He has not permitted himself to discuss in this campaign the issue of anti-imperialism which was the paramount Issue in 1900 as he declared, and in respect to which the policy of the Republican party has been vindicated by the event, so that tranquillity and a good government ex ist in the Philippine Islands and even the Independents prefer Republican victory to Mr. Bryan s promise. "He now says that he favors the more rigid regulation of the railroads. In 1896, he expressed the view that- the railroads could not be regulated be cause the railroads would own the reg ulators appointed by Jaw and therefore he was In favor of government owner ship. We hear nothing from him on this subject. His Bond to Keep the Peace. "Instead by describing his platform not only as an announcement of prin ciples, but as a protection against un comfortable issues he has attempted to give bond to keep peace with respect to government ownership, which by its mere anouncement showed its lack of the vote catching quality. He professes to have been the father, and now to be the heir of the Roosevelt policies, and vet in no campaign of three in which he has taken part and two which he himself led, did he make them the paramount issue. Instead, In the Park er campaign he took occasion to charge Mr. Rosevelt with militarism and with being completely subject to the influence of corporations, only to see him winning the greatest peace triumph of the world, and securing such an ef fective stamping out of corporate abuses as to elicit the admiration of the entire country. "Mr. Brvan professes to be the great friend of labor, and yet he was one of the chief supporters in tne passage of the Gorman-Wilson bill that made labor helpless for four vears. He then proposed as a remedv for the disasters to which la bor was thus exposed, the issuing of a 50 cent dollar which would have cut in half such wages as there were paid, would led to the hardest kind of struggle on labor's part to restore its wages to its proper equivalent un der the gold standard. "The country, has been most fortu nate that the fallacy of Mr. Bryan's l railroad propositions has been expos ea witnout ira& cost oi putting mem into actual governmental practice and it will be fortunate indeed if the dan ger of four years' depression, to which it would be exposed in case of Mr. Bryan's election, may be averted, and if by Republican success in November and subsequent prosperity and by a clinching of the Roosevelt policies, he may be again shown to be prophet without honor."

CASTOR I A Tor Infants and Children. Kir, J You Kara Always Bought Bears the Signature of DIE BY THEIR OWN HANDS. Two Persons Commit Suicide in One Hay in Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 14. Two suicides, one startling In its accompaniments, the other the despairing act of a young woman hopeless of ever regaining her health, took place in Chicago yester day. Crouching in a dark cellar, at the door of which 100 men were clamoring an unidentified fugitive almost severed his head from his body with a razor rather than face the vengeance of hia pursuers. He had been traced to the cellar after he had lured a boy five years old to the place. He had been dead an hour before it was learned that he had cut his throat. Cowering beside him was the-boy; held there by the threat of his tormentor that he would kill him if he stirred and un aware that death had removed the menace. The scene was the basement of the vacant- building at 152 West Jackson boulevard. The man had been seen to pass Into the place with Lawrence Brosnau, whose home is at 132 West Van Buren street. Those who ob served the two investigated. Threats from the boy's captor that he would shoot the first to enter held the pur suers off, even after their number had reached a hundred. The other suicide was that of Miss Florence Osborne. 25 years old, daugh ter of Eugene F.

Strange as Fiction Newspaper for Kidney and Rheumatic Sufferers. In Germany there is a newspaper published In the Interests of all rheu matic, sufferers, and each week sym toms and treatments are discussed by both laity and medical men. One scientific contributor related that a formula originated especially to relieve kidney diseases, had almost phe nomenal virtue in the treatment of all forms of rheumatism. Its action is to favor the kidney se cretions and. stimulate their filtering capacity, so that the poisons and acids which, cause rheumatism are elimi nated. No secret Is made of this formula, which is composed of one half ounce fluid extract Buchu, one ouflce compound fluid Balmwort and two ounces compound syrup Sarsa parilla, mixed in a bottle, and to be taken in teasnoonful doses after eacn meal and one at retiring. A local druggist states that any honest pharmacist can fill the pre scription, and expressed the opinion that every rheumatic and kidney suf ferer will be grateful for this item. Dr. Norton Yager of the Hotel Hol land, was summoned, but the victim was deaxi when he arrived. Mr. Os borne believed that long suffering from an injury to the spine caused her to become. despondent.

STOCKS An active demand for stocks made open ing prices today a uniform small fraction over the closing level of Saturday.. Tha two Harriman Pacifies and Reading were the features of the market. Union Pa cific recovered 1 on Its 2 per cent quar terly dividend. Southern Pacific gained an extreme one point. Consolidated Gas rose 1. Delaware and Hudson 1 and Bal timore and Ohio, and Kansas and Texas

The Improvement in the market invlteil an active selling movement after Reading had risen 1. The reaction dropped off a point from the High level of the most ac tive stocks and drove St. Paul and Amer ican Car a point below Saturday's closing and Southern Riiilwav preferred and American Locomotive 1. Brisk buvlng of Reading subsequently caused a good rally. Reading rebounded to 134 and there was an increased demand for other coal stocks. Prices drifted downward again, selling pressure centering in the metal and min ing industrials. Bonds were steady. Small fractional rallies seemed ti have about exhausted the demwid as specula tion became almost normal. Ontario and Western gained a point. Ranges of ITtcea on Stocks. Furnished by J. E. Gall.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOITR'N'AIr MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1903

'Sticltoey's TIRSiUM POLITICAL GOSSIP BocsgTelt May Tisit Kansas in October. "From an experience of forty years in the manufacture and sale of Hign-grade cigars, and after tHorotigH investigation and test, I unhesitatingly recommend SticKney's TritimpH Cigar as superior to any other being sold at 5 cents," PELVIC DISEASES OF MEN My Pelvic Methods, in Nearly Every Case I Treat, Insure Men a Life-Long Cure If They Are Afflicted With Either Blood Poison, Skin Disease, Sores, Ulcers, Varicocele, Nervous Decline, Weakness of Men, Piles or Chronic Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder and Prostate. THE CURED, SATISFIED PATIENTS I dismiss, who. before coming to me for treatment, had become almost physical and financial bankrupts in doctoring with physicians and specialists, is the best reference I can give to my reliability, and the evidence I offer to prove that my pelvic methods are superior to others. The sufferers who come to mo from friends of theirs who have dealt with me and recommended my treatment, sup ports the statement I make that I deal fairly with everyone, and that those I cure are grateful to me. No doubt a number of men recognize my skill in cur ing the diseases that come under my specialty, and know that I have the ability to cure them when others would likely fail to even benefit, but they may Imagine my charges are beyond their reach, and they go to some self-styled specialist who does not cure them but charges even as much as I would. I do not want any man to feel that he is unable to pay me, so I arrange my terms In pay ments to suit their convenience. Consultation and examination are FREE and confidential. 106 East 7th Sf.

DOLLEY IN CHICAGO. Will Discuss Kansas Situation With Mr. Hitchcock. Senator Curtis Goes to In'diana for Speaking Tour. Permit has been Issued to Mrs. H. C. Sjjort for a $800 addition to resi dence at 614 Clay street. T. D. Costello, formerly with the ad vertising department. Is no longer con nected with the State Journal. C. A. Fellows, a contractor of Los Angeles and formerly mayor of To peka, is in the city on business. A large patch of pavement is being torn up on Quincy, between Fifth and Sixth, and repairs will be made. Mrs. Mila Tupper Maynard of Den ver will speak to the socialist meeting at Lincoln Post hall this evening.- The regular meeting of the Brother hood of St. Paul of the Methodist church will be held this evening at the church parlors. Nine divorce cases are set for trial in thV district court Thursday and six for the following day which suggests recent heavy storms on the matrimon ial sea. A business meeting of the Ameri can-Swedish American, of more than usual importance will be held at the A. O. U. W. hall, Sixth avenue and Quincy street this evening. The patronage afforded the hotels of the city by the officers stationed at the fair, grounds Saturday and Sun day implies that the officers' mess is not at attractive as it might be. The Infantry left tfiis morning over the Santa Fe and Rock Island for St. Joe, while the cavalry and wagons left the city over the dusty roads. The first stop will be made at Meriden. Topeka may be an absolutely dry own, but the small boys who work the alleys for bottles say that the al leys! and back streets have never of fered such a harvest as during the week Just passed. Fay Ogden, the little Topeka girl, who was recently bitten by a dog sup posed to be suffering from rabies, is said to bo improving at the Pasteur institute where she was taken a few days after she was bitten. Two soldiers got Into a fight over beer at the fair grounds Sunday and as a result both of them were carried to the lied Cross life savers. Their faces were damaged to some extent but oth erwlse they remained sound. The fact that the. streets through which the soldiers who camped at the fair grounds Sunday were not lined with Topekans as they left the city, is accounted for by the fact that the command broke camp at 4:4o. Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock a fire broke out in the residence owned by E. W. Estes. 1718 Clay street. The fire was confined to a closet and about $100 damage was done to clothes. Sat urday evening fire damaged the resi dence owned by Mrs. Ella A. Davis. 613 Chandler, to an extent of about $300. The fire started from an unknown cause in a closet and eating its way through a bedroom, it went up into the roof and the house looked doomed when the fire department arrived. Quick work on their part stopped the progress of the flames and but a slight damage resulted. Five thousand and ninety-five loaves of bread were baked by a Topeka bak ery for the use of the soldiers while they were in town. Also, over 3.000 loaves were shipped to Meriden, Valley Falls and Cummings for the use of the soldiers while they were on their way to St. Joseph. G. D. Lytic, who founded Westlawn and has built more homes in Topeka than any other man In the city, moved again Saturday, having sold the prop erty at 90 0 Lane street to George P. Stitt. This is the fifty-second move Mr. Lytic has made since his marriage and he claims that he i9 entitled to a medal of some kind. BRYAN IN MARYLAND. HIS RANCH BURNED. And Owner Murdered hytlie Iload Side. Spokane. Wash,, Sept. 14. "All the buildings on your ranch have been burned to the ground and your father has been found murdered by the roadside." This was the message received by Mrs. A. S. Thomas, formerly of Ta coma from the corqner at Republican, Wash., early today, telling the story of a ghastly crime which is appar ently shrouded in mystery. The coroner says the body was found by the side of a county road half a mile from the house, terribly mangled. C. A. Gilmore, stepson of Mr. Thomas says of the crime: "Father had but one enemy in the whole of Republic county. I can as sign no motive whatever for the crime, unless it be that of robbery. Mother has been living in Spokane fcr the past month but has been making oc casional trips to the ranch, usually taking between $1,000 and $2,000 with her." Oldticld Beat Christie Out. Cincinnati. Si-nt 14 Ra-, i.i,i won a victory Saturday over Walter ii me nnats or the sweep stakes automobile contest at the La tonia race track in which Oldfield Christie and Soules were entered. Old field has been anTimisi tn Hofoat rhrio. tie ever since the latter haat htm i., month at St. Paul by two feet in a match race. Oldfield had his wish, but there was small exultation to be had over the victory, as both the automo biles met with mishaps and it was only a question which should be gotten into the best shape by such hurried repairs as could be made at the track. Old field happened to have the better luck in this respect and he won in the time of one minute 11 seconds. Ho Will Speak In Annapolis and In Baltimore. Baltimore, Sept. 14. William J. Brv an arrived in Baltimore, shortly before 8 o'clock this morning. The trip from Deer Park, Md.. was uneventful and the entire party had a good night's rest. Mr. Bryan was at breakfast in his private car "Olivette" as the trrln drew into Camden station of the Bal timore Ohio. There he was met by the local reception committee, compos ed of the leading Democrats of the state, among whom were Major Barry Mahool, former Governor Frank Brown, General M"-ray Vandiver. Congress men Gill and Wolf. State's Attorney General Isaac Lobestraus. and State Senator Arthur P. Gorman. The committee were ushered Into Mr. Bryan's car, which soon afterwards was taken over to Mount Royal sta tion, whence the presidential candidate was driven in an automobile to the Hos tel Belvedere. There were no set speeches, the meeting between Mr. Bryan and the committee being of ah informal character. During the noon hour Mr. Bryan received a large num ber of visitors at the hotel. He will go from here to Annapolis, where he Is to speak this afternoon, returning to Baltimore in time for the meeting at the Fifth Regiment armory this even ing. Mr. Bryan will spend the night here and will leave for Philadelphia at 8 a. m., tomorrow. At that city he will be met by a committee of New Jersey Democrats, and escorted to the Bellevue-Stratford hotel for luncheon. PIPE LINE KUNS SMALLER. Not So Ijirge First Week in September as in August. S MAKES o A LASTING CURE There are certain mineral medicines which will remove the external symptoms of Contagious Blood Poison, and shut the disease up in the system for awhile, but when the treatment is left off the disease will surely return. Then the loathsome 6ymptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc., are usually worse because the disease has made rapid progress on the internal members, and weakened the constitution and general health of the Bufferer. S. S. S. is the only remedy that can be used with perfect safety in the treatment of Contagious Blood. Poison, and with the assurance that a lasting cure will result This medicine, made entirely of roots and herbs of recognized curative and tonic value, antidotes and destroys the powerful virus of the disease, and by purify ing the blood of every particle of the poison and enriching and strengthening the circulation, removes every symptom of the trouble, S. S. S. does not hide or cover the disease in any way, but drives it entirely out from the blood, leaving not the slightest trace for future outbreaks. I lome treatment book with valuable information awd any medical advice lpsvnd sent free to all who write. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Independence, Sept. 3 4. The report of pipe line runs by the Prairie Oil Gas Co. for the first week in September does not show up as well as during the first week in August. For the first seven days of last month the runs av eraged 91,502 barrels and for the first seven days of this month only 83.925 barrels. The shipments were smaller in August and the amount of oil placed in storage larger. This month the fig ures are reversed. For the first week of August the shipments amounted to 74.428 barrels a day, and the storage oil to 17,074 barrels, and for September the shipments were 80,806 and the stor age 3,119 barrels. The total runs for the first week of September aggregated 587,481 barrels as against 640,517 during the same period in August. In May the average was 80,240 barrels and In June 79,844 barrels.- During all the other months the average was over 90,000 barrels a day. MAY BUY THE CARDIXALS. Clark Griffith May Pay $185,000 for the St. Louis Club. St. Louis. Sept. 14. Stanley Robison is negotiating with Clark Griffith, late manager of the New York Americans, for the sale of the local National ball club. This is Griffith's own statement, made to a member of the Chicago team a few days ago. when he was in Chi cago and watched the Cubs and Reds play. It is said that Robison has set a price of $185,000 on his club, including the ball park, which is in his name now, though he has not paid for it In full. Robison bought the present home of the Cardi nals for $65,000, it is said. Figuring that amount for the value, of the pround occupied by the playing field. together with the stands and improve ments on it. the pri"e asked for tbn franchise and players, which consti tute the biggest asset of the club, would be only $120,000. which is not con sidered an exorbitant valuation by te who know. Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, may come to Kansas some time during the latter part of October for a political speech. It is said that Roosevelt has agreed to make some speeches for the national committee and Chairman Dolley will make a strong effort to have one of the speeches In Kansas. It certainly would be a big thing for Taft if President Roosevelt would come out on the road and make speeches for It. It is rather an un conventional thing for a President of the United States to do, but Roosevelt is accustomed to doing unconventional things. Roosevelt wants Taft to win. Chairman J. N. Dolley .of the state committee left for Chicago today to confer with the chairman of the na tional committee, Frank Hitchcock. Mr. Dolley will go over the Kansas situation thoroughly and will make definite arrangements for the placing of some big Republican campaign orators in this state. Dolley wants the following list: President Roosevelt, Mr. Taft, Senator Beveridge, Senator Dolliver, Governor Chas. Hughes, and Congressman Burton, together with any other big guns that can be placed here. Senator Charles Curtis left Sunday for Indiana to take part in the cam paign there. He speaks at the follow ing places: September 14, Rensselaer. September 15, Fowler. September 16, Huntington. September 17, Wabash. September 17, Kokomo. September 18, Muncie. September 19, Veedersburg. September 19. Danville. Senator Curtis is to have four other dates to be given him later. He will not be home in Kansas again until the first of next week. The people of Independence are doing some effective advertising for the Joe Cannon meeting to be held in that city on September 16. They call it the "first shot" of the state campaign, probably on the theory that it is Cannon who is to be there. Great preparations are being made at Independence for this "first shot. There will be a political meet ing in the afternoon and another in the evening. In addition to Speaker Joe Cannon, the Independence peo ple have arranged for speeches by J L. Bristow, W. R. Stubbs and Con gressman P. P. Campbell. They will have four bands to furnish the music, and a big "flag parade" at 1 o'clock before the speaking begins The speaking will be in the audi torium at Independence, which it is claimed, will accommodate o,000 peo pie. As an Offset to the Cannon meeting, the Democrats are planning to hold a big rally in Independence about September 21. They will follow closely the plans of the Republicans, and will make it. an all day affair, The big speakers will be Senator Gore or Oklahoma and Champ Clark of Missouri. H. P. Farrelly, J. D. Botkin and others of state repute will also be given a chance to talk, Congressman Charles Scott has written a letter in reply to some resolutions passed by a Miami county Sunday school conference urging him to support for speaker a man who would allow the interstate anti-liquor bill to pass. Mr. Scott said in his letter: "I wish to say that long before I became a member of congress I ad vocated this legislation through my newspaper, and since holding a seat in the house of representatives I have lost no opportunity to urge its passage. I have not only gone be fore the committee on judiciary at public hearings and argued for a favorable report upon the bill, but I have talked with the members of the committee endeavoring to impress upon them tho importance of this legislation. As a result of these con versations and arguments I became convinced that the chairman of the Judiciary committee, John J. Jenkins of Wisconsin, was more responsible than anyone else for the failure of the committee to report the bill, and he having recently been defeated for re-nomination, largely as I under stand on account of his action in this matter, I feel certain the way is cleared for a favorable report in the next congress, if not in the coming short session, upon this most import ant measure. I should certainly re fuse to support for speaker a man who will not allow the bill to be voted upon at the earliest practicable moment" W. R. Stubbs, J. L. Bristow and Con gressman Victor Murdock will be out In the field making Republican cam paign speeches this week. Stubbs will make three speeches; Bristow will make four, and Murdock will make six. Their engagements are as follows: W. R. Stubbs 16th, Independence; 17th, Baldwin: 19th. Robinson, Wolf River Valley fair. Bristow 16th. Independence; 17th, Sedan; 18th and 19th, Bourbon county. Murdock loth Beloit; 16th. Kirwin (afternoon), Stockton (night); 17th, Downs; 18th, Clay Center; 19th, Han over. The Democratic speakers' schedule for the coming week is as follows: J. D. Botkin Sept. 14. Burlingame afternoon; 15th. Hiawatha afternoon, Horton night; 16th, Whiting afternoon, Holton night; 17th. Winchester; 18th, Hanover; 19th, Belleville. H. P. Farrelly 14th.

Coffeyville and Cher ryvale; 17th, Columbus; 18th, Oswego; 19th, Parsons. Parsons, Kan., Sept. 14. George H. Bower, who was elected chairman of the count-"- central committee at its organization, resigned today, and E. O. Ellis, a Stubbs supporter, was elect ed in his place. This county gave Le land and Long a good majority, and Bower, a friend of these candidates. was elected chairman. Since then the support of the state ticket has been so weak in this county that it became ap parent to Bower that he could not car ry the county for the state ticket. Rath er than lead a losing fight he resigned. BLUE SUNDAYS END. Judge Wallace Gives Up the Fight at Kansas City. Kansas City, Sept. 14. The Wallace Sunday propaganda has subsided. Hereafter the Sabbath in Kansas City will be pink, or green or red or orange or. yellow, or snow white or any old hue that anybody chooses to make it. No more shall blue be the prevailing hue that is. unless the individual ob server of Day No. 1 of the week chooses to select mat coior. n maHpr for pjinh nnii everv one to de cide; his choice, his move. -i j 3 .1 r t Judge Wallace nas aammeu ucim.

Judge Wallace, in his statement, m vimhroll tn continue the warfare by filing informations against saDDatn oiienaers, mm mauutio bert Heslip, county marshal, to get the evidence against Sunday violators. He also appeals to Daniel Ahern, chief of police, to gather the evidence and submit it to Mr. Kimbrell. He says the grand jury is legal ana uiai would have power to appoint a special prosecutor, out mat wuum uu" cult to find a competent attorney who ..T.j ..-itVinnt finmnpnsatinn. He also says that a special prosecutor could accompiisn nine n. ue bave the eo-ooeration of Mr. Kimbrell and Mr. Heslip.

Mr Heslip said it would be useless to gather evidence that was not to be used by the prosecuting attorney. He said also that his force of deputies was too small to do that work in addition to serving subpoenas and warrants for two divisions of the criminal court.

Their wages having been already reduced by the competition of labor saving machinery, the needle women in the clothing fac tory in the New York navy yard learn with dismay that a further reduction of their earnings is threatened. The women are widows and daughters of Union veterans and for 30 years they have sewed on by hand the white braid and stars for all the jackies' uni forms, numbering from 30,000 to 60,000 per month. Last week the navy de partment ordered a reduction of 10 to 25 cents a garment for the braiding. They have been offered more remuner ative work, but say they are unfitted for it. The needle women learn that con tractors are offering to braid for three cents and they have decided to petition the navy department. THE FAIR A SUCCESS.

Peo ple for blocks around did the hide and seek act, behind nearby trees and housen and when he opened fire for the fifth time not a soul was in siht.
