In the first game the locals had Mathew son in the box and as they batted Mc tjuillin to good effect McGraw's men won handily-by C to 2, Bresnahaa and Dooin collided at the plate in the fifth inning and both had to retire from the game, Bresnahan suffering from a sprained ankle, and Dooin being pain fully, but not seriously spiked. In the second Dooin was back behind the bat and played all through the contest, but Bresnahan had to give up in the open ing inning after he reached first base on a fumble. Wilson ran for him and Nedham took his place behind th plate, Donlin, who injured his leg Monday, was unable to play and the absence of these two crippled the .team badly. The visitors found Crandell very easy in the sixth inning and ad dd five runs to their score before the side was retired. Then Taylor went in to pitch for New York and held Murray's men to three hits and one run during the remainder of the game.

In consequence of the cold, there were many muffs by the players of both teams and every run but one was the result of an error, the one earned run going to Cleveland in the first inning. Berger pitched a strong game, but made one mistake. With men on second and third in the sev enth Inning and two out, he passed Eifan to take a chance on Plater. The latter hit the first ball pitched to him for three bases, driving in three runs. Philadelphia was easy for Cleveland In the afternoon game the latter winning 9 to 0.

"I think Pittsburg will win the pennant and I think the final game with Chicago will decide the outcome," said Barney Dreyfuss, the Pirate president, who stopped off here on. his way home from the eastern trip. "I don't think New York can stand the pace with the one good pitcher it has, Mathewson. Then, too, their nerve is broken. The Cubs did that. Chance's men are go ing fast and I expect the champions to be our opponents In the fight for the pennant. Neither team ought to have any advantage up to the final day, when, I think, we can bat out a victory that will, give us the pennant. Then for the world's series." Manager McAleer Reinstated. St. Louis, Sept. 30. Manager Mc Aleer of the Browns, who was sus pended by Ban Johnson Friday for his "run-in" with Umpire Kerin. has been restored to good standing.

He Lays Stress on Publicity of Campaign Funds. Rock Island. 111., Sept. 30 "I have lived in vain it" your accusations lose me a single friend,' said W. J. Bryan in a letter addressed to President Roosevelt replying to that of the presi dent written Sunday last. Mr. Bryan points' to his record and declares that it is a sufficient ahswe" to the insinuations of the chief execu tive that .'he is in sympathy, "with or controlled by the trusts. Keverting to the charges against Governor Haskeil, Bryan says that the president, in- response to his request, did not' deign to suggest a tribunal which could determine those charges, but instead proceeded to pass Judgment upon him and he informs the president that, the occupant of that high of fio can not deny to. the -humblest citizen the right to protect, his reputation and vindicate his name in the courts.-. Tak ing up the president's assertion -that certain trust magnates fearing prose cution under- Mr.-Tait, will support the Democratic candidate Mr. Bryai charges that the president worded the statement in such a way as to claim the support of all the trust magnates and "yet put it on 'the' ground that they are supporting your party for patriotic reasons rather than for the promotion of a selfish interest. ''Such an argument,", he contends, "is ingenious, but not sound." In proof of tho fact that, he -would not be con-, trolled by the trusts Mr. Bryan says that if elected he will enforce the antl-, trust laws, "not -spasmodically and. -intermittently, but1 persistently, and con sistently." Mr. Bryan, in dealing with "the Dem. ocratic campaign fund of 1896 as com pared with the Republican campaign fund of 1904, charges- that the president pays "more attention to the mote than the beam" and asserts in 1904 the Re publicans used in one state alone a fund almost as large as the entire sum the Democratic party had in its con trol. The letter concludes with notice to the president -that an opportunity will be afforded :him to misrepresent the motives of those who give to cur campaign fund and to arouse all the suspicion he "can.--. The letter is as follows: Br j-an's Letter. "Rock Island, 11U Sept. 29. 1908. "Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States,' Washington, D. C. "Dear Slr: A brief reply to your last letter is-all that Is necessary -to call at tention to your. afctsmpt.Qj shift the is-, sues raised.:; ,;Inr your letter attacking Mr. Foraket, -you t inserted an attack upon Governor Haskell and attempted to use the-charges against him to- con nect the- Democratic party and rue ,as its candidate wit h the trusts. I asked you to name a tribunal before which the charges, could be investigated or f you would not do that offered to leave you to say whether, in your Judgment the charges Justified Mr. Haskell's withdrawal of the organisation. You did not deign to suggest a tribunal, but proceeded to pass ijudgment upon him. He immediately- resigned his position that he might be? free to prosecute those who brought accusations against him. Thus his connection with his or ganisation ended, rl had no authority to submit and did not submit, to you the question of his guilt or innocence for final decision, t Even the president oannot deny to--the "humblest citizen of the land the right to protect his repu tation and vindicate his name in courts established for the- purpose vhere wit nesses can be examined and evidence submitted according to the rules of lawi "In my first letter to you, I re sented' the imputation that any charges made against Governor Has kell could be Justly construed as con necting the Democratic party or me as its candidate with any trust or law-defying corporation. You re plied that the charges were a matter of notoriety and I asked you why Mr. Taft did not mention tnem when he made speeches against Mr. Haskell in Oklahoma. You ,at once endeavored to connect me M'itn new matters which arose after the Denver con-; vention and conscious that those charges were Insufficient you have given wings to accusations that no disinterested party would make against another, without investigation. I am willing that all your charges against me shall be submitted to the voters of the country and with your charges I submit 'my denial of any knowledge or information that could In the remotest way connect me with any trust, monopoly or 'law defying corporation.' My record is sufficient answer to vour insinuation. I have lived in vain if "your accusations lose me a single friend. Refers tq Challenge. "I challenge you: to name a trust official who is supporting me and, af ter searching the country, you produce the name Of one man, not a trust official, but the attorney of a trust. Without inquiring .whether he :yotes for me because ofhis connection with a trust or in spite of it. or because of his "fear of business adversity,' under Mr. Taft, you- aeccpt his statement that he will vote for me as con clusive proof that I am In league with the trusts although you admit that trnst official are supporting the Republican ticket. Are you support ing the Republican ticket? You com-, pliment me when you measure me by a higher standard than you 00 your political associates, for you insist that Mr. Rockefeller's contribution to Governor Hughes' campaign fund was no reflection upori him, and I take it for granted that you do no criticise Judge Taft's recommendation of a Standard Oil attorney to the federal bench, a place where the judge might have to pass upon charges against the very trust for which he had been- at torney. While the trust attorney to whom you refer is not an official of any trust, I will warn him and through him his clients that if I am elected I will not only vigorously en force against all offenders of the law which we hope -to have enacted in compliance -with the Democratic plat form, but that I t will also vigorously enforce existing laws against any and all who violate them and that I will enforce them, not spasmodically and Intermittently,- but persistently and consistently; -they will not be sus pended even- for the protection of cabinet officers. You say .'the attitude of many men of large financial in terests warrants you in expressing the belief that those trust magnates whose fear of being prosecuted under the law. by Mr. Taft is greater than their fear of general business adversity,' under me, will support tne rather than Mr. Taft. Argument Is Unsound. "You have attempted to word that statement in such a way as to claim the support of all the. trust magnates, and yet put it on the ground that they are supporting your party for political reasons rather than for the promotion of a selfish interest. That is ingenious, -but it is not sound: The trust mag nates are supporting the Republican party and the Bible-offers an explana tion that- 'the ox. knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib.' You admit that you gave. permission to the steel trust to absorb rival, and thus increase its control of the output of steel and iron products. I will leave the American people to pass Judgment upon that act and compare your posi tion on the trust question with mine. You refer to our campaign fund in 1896 and accuse .us of allowing two men to contribute largely to the small fund with, which the committee con ducted the campaign. I am not sure about the figures,, because I hav n"ot seen an authentic statement of the contributions, but I was informed the largest of the two sums which you mention was not all contributed by the man to whom Tt was credited, but included contributions from' others as well as that which he -"-ave himself. "But if you want to be fair, why do- you not give tne amount of the Re publican campaign fund that year and the sources of it? I am willing to have both funds published for you. If some of those, who contribute-to our .fund of less than $300,000 had a pe cuniary" Interest in the result of the electibn; -how :--will you explain the .narmous contributions to the Repub lican fund? 'ilt you will remember the Democratic platform candidly de clared the party's purpose. If the carrying out of that policy would have been, of advantage to anyone the whole public bad knowledge of it and the publication of the contributions would not have affected the result. Publicity as to campaign funds is not needed to make known that whiclv is disclosed by the platform, .but to direct atten tion to. secret agreements expressed or implied, which would otherwise be concealed from the public' 1 -The Mote and 'the Beam. J'You certainly pay more attention to the. mote than to the beam when you -fled fault with our national cam paign fund in-1896 and ignore the significance bf, a fund almost as large, which, at your request,- was collected from a few persons in 1904 and was used in one state and was onlv a small item in the fund colected today. But your letter presents a defense of your party's position and an accusation against the voters "which emphasize an issue already prominent.' You are the first conspicuous member of your par ty to attempt an explanation of the party's opposition to publicitv before the election and the: admission, which you make will embarrass your party associates. Your position is that-the publication before election of the con tributions made to your- campaign fund would furnish your political op ponents an opportunity 'to give a false impression,', as .to the fitness of the candidates. You cite as illustrations the contributions made, to Governor Hughes'-'campaign fund, the contribu tion collected -by Mr. Harriman- and the contributions which are now be- hlng collected' for. Mr. Taft's campaign- runo. ..you cnarge in eirect mat tne peoplei are so lacking 'in Intelligence that they might condemn as improper contributions which you declare to be proper. If. the voters differ from you on this question are they necessarily ignorant or wrong and must the mem bers of the party act as- self appointed guardians of the people and conceal from them what Is going-on, lest -the people be misled as to the purpose and effect of large contributions-. Is this your explanation of the action of the Republican leaders in the national convention in voting down a publicity plank? 'If you will pardon the sug gestion. I believe that a better ex planation can be found in Holy writ, for do we not read of men loving darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil? Not a Personal Question. "You-attempt to make a personal Question of it and ask whether any one will accuse such men as you. Governor Hughes and Mr- Taft of being influ enced by contributions." That is not the question. If. it is found a party to a suit has given a sum of money to one of the jurors the court does not stop to Inquire whether or not the juror is an incorruptible man ..or whether In accepting the money he explicitly sta ted that it was accepted with the un derstanding that he -was under no ob ligation to consider it in making up his verdict. The court would hold the giving of money by an interested party or their receiving of money was a con tempt of court and an interference with the administration of justice. Public officials occupy much the same position aa jurors, They are constantly called upon to decide questions between the favor-seeking corporations on the one hand" and the people on the other and there is a very general impression that officials of these favor-seeking corpor ations do not put up large sums, of money from purely patriotic motives. "Mr. Havemyer testified before a committee some years ago that the sugar trust made it a business to con tribute to campaign funds and that it was its custom to give to the party in power in the state. I do not mean to say that Mr.- Hughes was influenced by the contributions made- to him by the trust-magnates whose names were given in the after-election report. I do-not-mean to say that you were in fluenced by- the contributions that are being .made to his -fund by the trust magnates; but I do mean to say that the American people have a right to know what contributions .are. being made- that they may judge for. them selves the motive of the givers and the obligation imposed upon those who receive. The reflection upon the people involved in your charge that they would misuse the knowledge that pub licity would give, is unworthy of one who has been elevated to so high an office by the votes of the, people and I venture the assertion that you can not nrocure from Mr. Taft an indorsed" ment of your defense. He is now be fore the people; he is offering, himself as a candidate for the presidency; he' dare not tell the people to whom he ap peals that they have not sense enough to form a Just and correct opinion as to the purpose which leads parties "in terested in special legislation to make big contributions. You fear that we would misrepresent the motives of those who are. contributing to the Re publican campaign- fund 'and cast an unjust auspicion.upon the Republican candidate if the. names and amounts were made known before the election. Your argument, Hf .sound would pre vent publication After -tho election, for why should ah unjust suspicion be cast upon -officials after; "'the -.election any more, than before? Doe not the se crecy before the election increase -the suspicion?

The return, in August, 1908. of nine teen Gilbert Islanders from Guatemala to their native home the survivors of 400 "recruits" colected in 1889 to work on the Central American coffee plantations calls attention to the fact that the slave trade, though nominally dead, is as active as ever in the South ern Pacific. All the rest of these un fortunate people perished '.rt captivity. The Gilberts, the Solomons, and cer tain other island groups. in that part of the world. DODUlated by wooly headed blacks in an advanced state of savagery, are a profitable hunting ground for the slave traders of today, who are called euphemistically "DiacK birders." It is their business to kld nao. steal, buy. or otherwise obtain possession of natives, whom they sell to the companies that work great areas of agricultural land in Samoa and else where. Utterlv ruthless, they do not hesitate at murder or any otner crime, though customarily they entice the islanders on board of their vessels by promises of enormous pay, light labor, and good treatment, with passage home at the end of a short term of ser-ce. There' ate no more hardened and crue wretches alive than these vblack birders." Having once secured a hu man cargo, they keep the poor sav ages, men" and women, in subjection by a free use of the lash, or by worse torture and, presently, sell them to the managers of the plantations, by whom they are treated in all ret-pects as slaves.

Each of the Ecven sections of the International Congress on Tuberculosis at their ses sions in the National museum today contributed much to knowledge through the discussion by renowned scientists of measures that promise success to the world movement against the ravages of tuberculosis. More than a hundred speakers were on pro grammes of the several sections. Great interest centered around the work of sections No. 1 and No. 7 in which Dr. Robert Koch, the German scientist and discoverer of the tuber cule bacilli, actively participated. His address on the relations of human and bovine tuberculosis was perhaps the most notable of the day. This joint session brought together prob ably the largest group of medical men. At a separate meeting of section No. 1. Dr. W. H. Welsh presiding, the sub jects "Infection through the skin" and "Sources of infection" were taken up. Section No. 2, of which Dr. Vincent T. Bodith is president, had under discus sion "The specific therapy of pulmon ary tuberculosis," dwelling particular ly on tuberculin and its derivatives. "Joint tuberculosis in its different re lations" occupied the time of section 3. of which Dr. Charles H: Mayo of Rochester. Minn., is president. Pul monary tuberculosis in children of tuberculous parents and the transmis sion of the disease through family as sociation, formed the topic of a half dozen addresses before section 4; Dr. Abraham Jacobi of New York presid ium. "The social control of tuberculosis through health and public relief de partments of the national, state ana municipal government" was a plan ad vocated at the session of section No. 5. Dr. Edward Devine of New York presiding. Discussion on statutory control of tuberculosis was led by Dr Marshall I... Price, secretary of the Maryland state board of health, at the session of section No. 6. "The path ology and bacteriology of tuberculosis of aulmais formed tne topic ol sev eral addresses before section No. 7. At today's session formal announce mr nt was made of the inoculation of a number of children, all charity pa dents at the children's hospital here with bacilli of tuberculosis, human :ind bovine, and with a culture of Koch's tuberculin designed to prove the accuracy of the diagnostic methods advanced by Dr. D. Laszlos, detre of Budapest. Hungary, and the diag nosis theorles'of Dr. Clemens von per quet of Vienna.

Everyone w ho made at attempt at answering the contest ad vertisement receives a bond, certificate or check. The contest dealers claim that these bonds represent an actual face value dis count on the regular price of the piano There's certainly misrepresentation here. Either the prices M ere too high ,and the dealers and manufacturers have been misrep resenting the quality to line up with too-high price, or the price now is higher than, the actual selling price of the piano was before the contest. We know that at the price we buy our pianos none of the manufacturers would give us a discount of $1, let alone $100. We buy at the lowest rock bottom price for cash, and we sell at the lowest price. Though the dealers say that these bonds are worth their face value on any of the new Pianos they do not accept them as cash pajments. They sell Pianos on pay ments of at least as little as $10 monthly. We sell new Pianos for $3 monthly and up, but they will not accept a $100 bond as a ten months' payment. O, no. You have to begin paying real money right at the start. J ust investigate and you will find misrepresentation all through the contest deal ers' methods.

Lord Rossi j-n's System for Breaking the Bank Fails. London, Sept. 30. Lord Rosslyn's effort to prove the infallibility of his system for winning money at roulette by means of mathematically calculated progressions has failed. Sir Hiram Maxim smiled as he raked in Rosslyn's last chip, representing the last of a $50,000 roll of stage money. Rosslyn went '"broke" after playing 3,382 times. Sir Hiram said: "I arranged the test merely to show the folly of gambling. I showed the folly of systems to beat the bank at Monte Carlo. No percentage game can be beaten." Lord" Rosslyn has long had a "sys tem" to beat Monte Carlo. Finally he and Maxim made a bet on the prac ticability of the plan. Sir Hiram bet that the roulette percentage can not be overcome, while Rosslyn backed his system: OLD POEM BY WALT MASOX. Was Published in the State Journal 20 Years Ago. Many people who have read and en joyed the "prose poems" of Walt Ma son, the versatile genius who is work ing at present for William Allen White on the Emporia Gazette, have no doubt imagined that Walt Mason was a new discovery, and that his prose poems are a recent fad, invented to please the fancy of the Gazette read ers. As a matter of fact. Mason is a very old timer in the Kansas newspaper field, and has been writing prose poems for a quarter of a century. And the beauty of it is that in all those years, the poems have retained the ginger and spice of the early efforts, and are just as good now as ever. In the State Journal for July. 1888 -20 years ago there appeared the following "prose poem," credited to Walt Mason: "You meet him on the housetop, you meet him on the street, along the winding pathway you hear his prince ly feet; you And him in the cottage, in hovel, hut and hall; you hear his voice forever the man who knows it all. And would you talk of music, if that is near your heart? Or would you, as a critic, discourse of ancient art? A voice will Interrupt you, and o'er you cast a. pall the voice of that wise be ing the man who knows it all. Per chance you may have journeyed leagues, leagues away from home; have seen the sights of Athens, the sewn hills of Rome; don't tell your strange adventures, when neighbors on you call, for there will be among them the man who knows it. ail. And would you tell a story as Pommery you quaff? A little pointed anecdote to make your comrade laugh? Then shun the dark browed stranger who leans against the wall: he is the sour-souled villain, the man who known it all. When at the realm that smoulders, where Satan broods in ire, we hand our parquet tickets to plunge into the d r-r a hnvo the walls of snrrnu w'll that vile sinner; the man who knows lit all." 925-927 Mass. St. LAWRENCE, KAN. WEEDE'S MEN BUSY. Washburn Working Hard Game Saturday. for the With the hard game with the State Normal only three days away Coach Weede, the football mentor of Wash burn, is putting his pupils through a hard gruelling practice every night. The showing of the team against the high school team last Saturday was a disappointment to the followers of the Blue. The Normal game Saturday wi!l be a much harder one and this means a lot of work. The Normal game won't be the snap that it has been in seasons past. It comes at a time when Weede has a bunch of youngsters who have not played together before, and have no team work. And the Normals are a well seasoned bunch, having all of their last season's team in the lineup. Dr. Outland, former coach of Wash burn college, saw the Normal play the K. U. team last Saturday at Lawrence, and he is not the least optimistic of Washburn's chances Saturday. In fact he says that he would just as soon see the K. IT. team oppose Washburn Sat urday as the Normal. Combined with the fact that there are nothing but youngsters at Wash burn, i3 the discouraging news that Captain John Robb will not be in the game. Robb is out with a bad knee and will not be able to work for a couple of weeks, unless his injured member improves sooner than ex pected. The daily routine at Camp Weede consists of a hard scrimmage practice. The grounds are now in good shape for this sort of work and Weede is taking advantage and working his men hard. Last night the varsity scored three times on the scrubs in twenty minutes and this is encouraging from the fact that it shows that some degree of team work is being attained. Munford, who will play tackle or guard, was not out last night. The following is the way the varsity lined up against the scrubs: Whitney, center: Johnstone and Rea zin. guards; Codding and Weisgerber, tackles: Foster and Larimer, ends; Mc Vey, quarterback: Smiley and Schmidt, halves; and Brethour, fullback. Hope is still an absent quantity in the Blue camp, but it is thought that he will be back in the ranks in a week or two. The officials for the game Saturday will be: Coach Samuels of Emporia, referee: McCarroll of Washburn. urn- Gay World Condemns Fat The Empire and the Direetoire gown having come to stay, fatness is de trop that is to say "not in it."

Couple Applies at Police Station for Marriage License. Tobacco smoke 'twas slowly Ailing the police station this morning and oc casionally a voice was heard behind a denser cloud In the corners and in. front of the desk. The sharp click Of the telephone as the "boys" reported from their "beats," and the gruff ri swer of the jailer was all the excite ment in the bastile and the prospects for a dull, groggy morning were star ing the station officers in the face. Suddenly the door in the outer hall opened and with cautious steps a man and a woman were -seen peering into the three doors which open into the three front rooms in the station. The police expecting to have a complaint made about how Smith's chickens had been bothering the Joneses, paid no attention to the couple, and the smoke still poured in immense volumes' from the old caked pipes. But something new was bound to appear in this com plaint as the man left the woman in the hall and started for the door of the office. It is always the custom of the women to make the fiery com plaints before the- police and the ofB--cers looked at each other in surprise. When the man tiptoed up to the desk it was seen that the, case was getting more and more unusual all the time and the dreamy pipes were removed from the faces of the -curious cops. The woman was standing in the hall chew ing her handkerchief and the man suddenly broke into a grin which rapidly spread all over his coun tenance. Jailer Lawson stepped up to the railing and before he could apply his customary question an "excuse me for living" voice came from the young man: "Could I see the probate judge right away?" "What! Who When Right now or could you wait Yes he is No he is not By ging. Bill. tell this man where to go. I can't," and with a look of defeat and surprise Carl Lawson, the oldest jailer in To peka sat down in a chair beaten and shamed beyond healing. When the officer had told the bash ful young coufle where to go and they had thanked him with fear and de light. Jailer Lawson raised his head from the desk and looking at the open mouthed officers around him he drawled: "Never before in the life of old Carl Lawson has such a thing happened. Just think of a young couple asking me to ilx them up and coming to the police station at that just think of it boys!" and Lawson roared and roared as he struck four matches in attempt ing to light his dead pipe.

As a result of a mysterious accident f e.Unl0n Paclflc yards Sunday night Frank Glover, a traveling sales man for the Beard Wholesale Notion company of this city, is in a dangerous condition at his home isno ro-,n avenue and is not able to give any clue to the cause of the accident. Glover was last seen by a friend. Harry Shields, of Kansas City, in Rock Island train No. 36 just after the train .ifr0i!sr1.the Kaw river bridge. Shields had been visiting Glover over Sunday and he went with him to the train with the intention of riding t?rl? ne river and Kiting off at the North Topeka Union Pacific station. Just as the train crossed the bridge Glover bid goodbye to his friend and going to the back of the train he alighted. He was, first seen after the accident at the New Chesterfield hotel and his clothes were torn and he acted in a very strange manner. He left there without saying anything and going up to the F, M. Curtis drug store at 732 Kansas avenue he walked in and spoke to his friend. Charles Schnaibel who is a clerk. Schnaibel saw there was something the matter with his friend and suspecting he had been drinking, spoke harshly. to him, telling him that he would call the police if he did not straighten up. Glover smiled at this warning and then the clerk threatened him by going to the phone and feign ing at calling up his brother, Walter Glover, who is also a traveling sales man for the Beard company. The brother consented to this idea and then Schnaibel knew that something was wrong. He went up close to Glover and could not smell any liquor on the young man. but to his surprise he saw his mouth bleeding' and his coat and trousers torn in many places. He questioned Glover concerning his rag ged and bleeding condition but he only shook his head and. could not remem ber a thing. Schnaibel called a hack at once and ordering a doctor out to the young man's home he examined his injuries more closely. He found that his index finger on the right hand was out of Joint and his mouth was bleed ing where some of his teeth had been torn out. The right shoulder was rov ered with rust and dust and the whole right side of his body was badly scratched and bruised. His pocketbook which he carried in his hip pocket was missing but his watch, silver in his pocket, diamond ring and checks in his coat pocket, were.-, all in -their proper place. There was a large swelling on the back of his head and his face was badly scratched. It was thought for awhile that Glover had been slugged and the police were notified' at once. However, after fur ther investigation the authorities con cluded that young Glover had attempt ed to alight from the train and slipping or catching on the step he was dragged along the cinders and bruised to such an extent that he became unconscious. He is -still in a critical -state at his home and can remember nothing of the accident.. His memory has deserted him since, he left his home Sunday afternoon and he could make the mys tery no clearer. Harry Shields ,the friend from Kansas City, was called up over long distance telephone Tuesday afternoon and he told how Glover had ridden with him from the south side Rock Island sta tion to the other side of the river in tending to get off in North Topeka and come home by street car. The pair had not been drinking and it is known that Glover very seldom drinks. Shields said that nothing was the matter with his friend when, he left him in. the train. In speaking of the matter Charles Schnaibel, close friend of Frank Glov er, said: "I first thought that Glover was slugged and robbed but when I found his money on him and all of his valua bles I gave up that idea. It is plain that Frank had fallen or slipped from the train, and was dragged on the ground. "Frank does not drink and he could.- not have-been drunk at the time. I have know him for a long time and have traveled on the road with him. He is a mighty nice fellow- and it Is hoped that the accident will not prove fatal." The, doctors in attendance state that unless" complications more serious en sue Glover will be able to get around in two or three weeks. At present he is unconscious, and has never regained Ms senses enough to tell of the acci dent. He is suffering chiefly from the injury on the skull. The police could find no signs of a robbery but the pocketbook was not found in the' yards. It was probably picked up and rifled by a weary wan derer as it contained about twenty dol lars in bills. It was first thought that the injury on the finger was caused by some one trying to pull the diamond ring .from the finger but a later con clusion points, out that the ring had either caught on the hand hold of the passenger coach and he had been thrown to the ground this way or else his being dragged in the cinders and over the tJes tore the finger out of Joint.

At a meeting of the ways and mean committee of the council last night It was decided not to build and equip a new fire station in the second ward. According to Fire Marshal Wilmarth'a estimates such a station would cost fully equipped, about $7,375.- This sum will have to come from the general- fund and as the council is not permitted to increase the-levy for that fund this year the committee could not at thla time see' any way to raise the money. Later, if there is a sur plus in the funds of any of the depart ments of the city the matter will again be considered' tince the construction of the Bran ner street viaduct the northeast part of the second ward is almost beyond fire .protection, as it takes several minutes for the nearest, fire company to make the run to that section of the city. According to Councilman Miller's estimate of city revenue and expense for the coming year there will b about $20,000 left in the general fun upon which the city can rely for, us in emergency funds. The committee decided to visit th city Jail Thursday of this week to ttv; what change would be needed to ar range the quarters upstairs so that the police matron could stay at the sta. tion nights in order to-care for and receive new prisoners for the woman's ward. The committee decided to ree.' ommend to the council that the quest for a Are 'alarm box near the Horn Planing mill be granted.

Tfirlff revision mostly downward, but in soma in stances upward notably on pottery was the keynote of Candidate Taft's ten speeches. In none of them did he forget to "go after" his Nebraska op ponent. The, Ohioan's campaign through South Dakota terminated here last night when he addressed a tremendous audience of the four states of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minneso ta. The meeting was held in the im mense train shed of the Union passen ger station, and was rivaled only in. the day's trip from Aberdeen, by the two meetings held at Mitchell. Besides Mitchell and Sioux City., the largest crowds of the day were at Aberdeen and Yankton, the latter the home of Senator Gamble. Other stops of the special where cheerinf? au diences were waiting were at Mellette, J'.edflcld. Wolsey, Tripp. Parkston, I.esterville-. Scotland and Vermillion Judge Taft's voice permitted him to be heard fairly well. His speaking as sistant during the day was Represen tative J. Adam Bede," of Minnesota, who Jokingly referred to the candidate as the "upholstered statesman," H said the great distinction be tween Taft and Bryan was that you c-ouid see Taft much further than you j could hear him, and you could hear Bryan much further than you could see him, or ought to follow him.' I The manner of speech Mr. Taft de- livered during the day may be learn ed from the following extract of re marks made at different places along the road. His speeches at Mitchell and xx. Sioux City were along the 'same lines: "The difficulty about Mr. Bryan, my distinguished opponent, is that he Is engaged in trying to avoid his record and the Republican party and its candidate are trying to stand by his record. Mr. Bryan yesterday in vited mv consideration to a number of issues, but I don't think that he dwelt, with the intense emphasis of which he is capable, on the condi tion the farmers were in when he was. so to speak, at the helm. I don't think he called your attention to the effect on the market price of farmers' products until the repeal of the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill of which he vu one of the chief advocates. He did not refer to the fact with any de gree of significance, that wheat un der the influence of that grfat meas ure went down below 50 cents. He did not call your attention to the fact that corn was at 21 cents; that oats was at J 0 cents; nor did he dwell on the fact that after the Democratic rarty. under his leadership, had brought about such.- a -condition of affairs, that then, in order to help us all out of difficulty, he proposed a method by which we should repudiate half our debts and in that way stag ger hack to prosperity. I don't think lie called your attention to the fact that within two years after the gold standard was adopted by the, vote of 1898. every one of the prophecies w hich he made as to what w ould hap pen unless you adopt free' silver was refuted by the event. I don't think he dwelt at any great, length on the paramount issue which together with free silver was brought to your atten tion in 1900. I don t think he in vited your consideration to the fact that on the fourth day of July, when he was notified in Lincoln of his sec ond nomination, he said that unless we got out of the Philippines, unless we abandoned that awful issue, awful policy of imperialism, by elect ing him. we should not celebrate with true patriotism.

Suits $15, $20, $25, $30, $35 620 631 Kansas Avenue The Mills Co.. Topeka My own impression Is. without being familiar with the schedules as an ex pert, that in most cases tho operation of the protective tariff has been nor mal; the cost of production has been reduced and therefore the revision with respect to these schedules should be downward. There are few pottery is one in which no such change has ta ken place. Indeed, the condition has been the other way, and in that re spect probably the tariff ought to be raised. "Mr. Bryan says that he may not ex pect anything from the Republican party because it is governed by the protective interests and that they con tribute to the campaign fund. If they do I am glad to advise you that the campaign fund this year is not flatter ing, and that no campaign has been carried ou more economically than this ca- aign. Secondly I want to call your attention to the fact that when the Republican party rises to bring about a trusted promise, it enforces that promise against any corporate influence, as it has done during the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, and, following the example of Theodore Roosevelt, it will be my pleasure and my duty to insist, so far as the exec utive of the nation and the Republican party can gather such influence, to bring about an honest and thorough revision of the tariff on the one hand, protecting the industries by the method of protection explained and on the oth er hand seeing that that measure is not too great in the interest, of the con sumer." Judge Taft slept in his private car in a quiet sidetrack at South Sioux Citv. With nine or ten speeches in Nebraska he will reach Lincoln, the home of Mr. Bryan, at 3 o'clock where he will spend the night. SWELLS ON ROCK PILE. City Prison Boasts of a Remarkable Array of Talent. This is a lively week at the stone yard in the city jail. Never before in the history of the Topeka police force has the jailer kept watch over such a lot of men. There are only four men on the stone pile but they are the "swellest bunch" that ever entered the "quarry." Long sweeping, two but toned, deep vented shooting lapelled coats: peg top. four inch cuffed, feath er edged, animal colored trousers: white high collars with butterfly bows, white pleated shirts stiff as a board and crush, small brimmed rah-rah hats; buckled, sand bar shaped rel shoes and noisy socks. That's the kind of an outfit at the police station. The Topeka police have been dqjng a high class business the last few days and every visitor that comes Into the police station is shown the exhibition of "swells." The jailer said yester day: "That's the best looking bunch we ever had. Did you notice those col lars and clothes. And they are proud of their clothes. too. This morning one of them asked me if he could not have a pair of overalls to work in." The collection includes a barber, ho tel keeper and a dude. The barber was tipsy when caught and said he had spent all his money on beer and clothes. He looked it. The hotel keep er Irve Palmer, is the proprietor of the Palmer house at Silver Lake, the largest and most up to date hotel it: that city. Palmer came to Topeka to study the hotel conditions of the times but when he had visited a few drug stores he did not have the price to see the inside of a hotel and he went to the city jail. He. has notified his relatives of his condition but they have decided that the experience will do "Irve" good and he should pound rock for awhile. The dude is the young man who .was caught spooning in the city park and arrested. It is an unusual sight to see such a gang at the rock pile and the police force can't help but take a look when ever a stranger comes in. Suits M'LAURIN DEFIANT. Says He Took Standard Oil Money and Glories lu It. New Tork, Sept. 30 Ex-Cnited States Senator John Lowndes Mc Laurin of South Carolina has arrived in New York and gives out the follow ing signed statement regarding the correspondence between himself and John D. Archbold,. vice president of the Standard Oil company,, as recently made public by W. R. Hearst: "An effort has been made to create a political sensation by the publication of certain correspondence between Mr. Archbold and myself.- For that cor respondence I have no apology to make. At the time that the letters were written I. had the honor to en joy, and am still proud to possess the friendship of -Mr. Archbold for whom I have the highest regard. At the time the letters were written I was engaged in a bitter struggle in which was involved not only my own po litical future but. the economic and political principles for which I stood, stated briefly, -meant the emancipation of the south from the ignorant preju dice of Bourbonism and the "bloody shirt" into the freedom of an enlight ened self interest and the progress of an intelligcnfindustrialism. "In the support of these principles and the hope of this progress I saw no impropriety In enlisting, if prac ticable, the assistance of the most pro gressively administered, and the most intellectually officered corporation that human intelligence has yet produced. Nor has the enormous body of statu tory crime since created .or the hypo critical affection of morality assumed by some of our legislatures and con gress in any wise changed my point of view or quickened my conscience of expediency as seems, to have been the case with some of my former col leagues and associates. "The constituencies that they repre sent do not hesitate to take Mr.. Carne gie's trust produced and tariff protect ed money for their churches and libraries, or to accept Mr. Rockefeller's large donations for the education' of the negro whom they, have disfran chised. "If political, campaigns are to be run without money and political progress is to be achieved without financial ex penditures, it is high time that both parties should be apprised of the ar rival of that Utopian era, but until that period has arrived I can see no reason why I, -when battling for what I conceive to be right, should refuse to seek or decline to accept the support whether financial or personal of which I stood in need. Men may.', die, but right principles persist and inthejond they will triumph. "I believe that the south am) Espe cially the state of South Carolina, is today throttled in its "natural progress and its intelligent exercise of the right of self government by an. -oligarchy which keeps alive the prejudices of a past generation through the perpetra tion of ignorance and corruption and I shall welcome the day when the educa tional propaganda, which can only be spread bv the use of money, whether it be Standard Oil money or railroad money or any other money save tha. derived from the governmental sale of whisky, will enable the people to see more clearly their own best interests and cast out those leaders whose hypo critical morality and ill disguised selfishness is responsible for the fact that in the south illiteracy is greater and the increase of wealth slower than in any. great section of "the union., "It is the fashioiij Qti'tifesetitTdaY political hypocrisy to- clecrjy.the cor poration, to abhor the trust and to pre tend in public to proscribe the in fluence of wealth: but as in this coun try and in this age wealth is, and must be. the reward of intelligence. I am not willing to be considered amongst those cowardlv enough to denv it the in fluence which intelligence has always exercised under every form of govern ment thus far devised. Of a govern ment of ignorance, I have had enougn in my native state. I hope for and shall continue to work for a govern ment of intelligence. JOHN LOWNDES M'LAURIN." DI E TO OLD SHOES. Many Caes of Broken Arches. Jn Feet of XVomqn. '-1 New York. Sept. 30. Cases of broken arches of the feet of women are in creasing in number and orthopedic surgeons for the last month or two have been keeping the makers of spec ial shoes busy with orderf. Strange as it may seem, the trouble is traced not to the high heeled footgear, which has from time to time been so severely attacked by critics, but to the roomy, easy old shoes, the comfort able slippers, and the heelless rubber soled "sneakers" of mountain and camp. "It could hardly be called an epidem ic," said Dr. A'irgil P. Gidney. a well known orthopedic surgeon; "for the cause of the trouble varies in individ uals. If the race went barefooted there would be no broken arches for nature causes the foot to maintain the arch. The French shoes which bring the heel toward the middle of the sole and act as a support, give to the natives. of France a good carriage, which is ob served even in the bourgeoisie. They do not have broken arches. "Easy old shoes, especially if they were badly made originally, and loung slippers are largely responsible for flatfoot. for when they are worn the ligaments and muscles relax and be come weakened."

Concealing him self in the vault of the office of the W. D. Allen Manufacturing company, a thief stole $700, after committing a murderous assault on Henry Glbbs, the superintendent. The robber struck Mr. Gibbs on tho head with a re volver, when he opened the. door of the vault to get the money, which was part of the pay roll.; Thrusting the superintendent into the vault and making hini a prisoner by turning the combination knob, the bandit leaped towards the door. The way was blocked by Miss Barbara. Walters, the. company!s stenographer, and Henry Gallagher, the bookkeeper. "If you raise -a hand to stop me I'll kill you both." the thief said, as he levelled the revolver. Springing over a railing. the robber, who was masked, reached the door before Miss Walters or Gallagher could attract the attention of the large force of em ployes who were within hearing dis tance. He ran to a nearby street. where it is thought a horse and buggy were waiting for him. The door of the vault was quickly opened and Mr. Glbbs, bleeding from a gash on the head, staggered out. His injury is not serious. DEMOCRATS OPEN CAMPAIGN'. Tlieir County Speooli Making Started Last Night.

All Sizes All Colors K.1 LETTERS WERE STOLEN Archbold Explains How. 'Hearst Got His Ammunition., New York. Sept. 30. A new phase of the discussion- of the so-called Standard Oil corporation correspon dence, made-public recently by -W. R. Hearst,, was. entered upon, when John D. Archbold, vice president of the Standard Oil company, made a state-, ment to the Associated Press setting forth details of the alleged theft of the correspondence from his files. For mer U. s. Senator McLaurin of South l.a rolina also entered the field with a signed statement declaring his attitude in the matter of the correspondence between himself and Archbold. Mr. Archbold said: -"In response to many inquiries as to the then of letters from files, the fol lowing may be made known: 'Over three years ago a report reached me that certain of mv letters had been offered for sale to newspa pers of this city, avowedly as stolen letters. Examination showed that some letters were missing and that they could only have been taken bv some one not only familiaf with the office details, ..but .trusted. The party on whom suspicion fell stoutly denied all guilt.: A little" later, "however a man who represented himself as acting be tween the thief and those to whom the letters had been sold proposed to re turn some of the letters for a -consideration.

"His story was that the idea of the theft -had been conceived by his broth er, who had at one time been in the company's employ.' and that his brother had induced the employe al ready suspected to accomplish the theft. According to the go-between's story, he had disposed of the letters, or Eotne-of-ttiem, to two men who purchased. them on behalf of Mr. Hearst's newspaper, the Journal. Not billy had' stolen letters been thus traded.. for. but the thief was induced to carry off one or more letter copy ing books,1 many .of whose pages he claims were photographed, other pages being removed altogether. '.The' books in question -were, the go-between said, returned after 48 hours. -It is impos sible to say how. many were stolen and sold .in .this way. The thieves worked at their, leisure. It is not thought nec essary to say more at present or to mention names. Corroboration of th go-between's story of three years ago lay in his return of some of the cor respondence at the time. The pro duction of stolen letters by Mr. Hearst Is-further corroborated now. Obvious ly among such a coterie, authenticity of their output is not to be lightly ac cepted. "The opportunities for falsification, suppressing of context and distortion of passages are many.". LITTLE IS LEFT. Michel, B. C, Is Again Swept by Fire of Unknown Origin. Spokane, Wash., Sept. 30.

TODAY'S AAllKtiT KE PORTS Chicago.
