Soldiers' Home Veteran Declar es He Is Through. Thinks lie Doesn't Want Same Wife Again. WAS AFTER HIS MONEY After First Separation She Re turned His Property.' Flees to Iowa to Aroid u Third Experience. Leavenworth, Oct. 9. When Judge Gillpatrick in the district court grant ed a decree of divorce to Foster H. Woods, a veteran at the Soldiers' home the aged- man was for the sec ond time In the past ten years separat ed from his second wife, formerly Dr. Alice Aubrey, whom he In his pe tition charges with, being an adven turess and with Infidelity to her vows. It was in 1897 that Woods and Dr. Alice Aubrey were married. In 1S99 she obtained a decree of divorce from him on the grounds of extreme cruel ty, and was given three lots In the Klondike owned by the veteran. Woods offered little or no objection to this procedure and settled himself back into the Home, with a comfort able Income from his $15,000 worth of farming lands in Missouri and Iowa. But little time had elapsed, however, until the old courtship was renewed and again the pair plighted troth and were married. To show to her aged husband that her change of heart was complete Mrs. Woods deeded back to him the three lots given her by the divorce. For seven years the second chapter of their married life progressed through various moods and phases until in December of 1907, Mrs. Woods filed a petition In the district court asking alimony on the grounds of gross neglect. Her attorney was W. W. Hooper. Judge Gillpatrick then ap pointed Ben F. Endres as counsel for the old veteran, who resisted all at- temps- to secure a judgment against him for alimony.' On May 21 of this year Mrs. Woods filed an amended pe tition in which she demanded not only alimony but a decree of divorce from her enfeebled spouse. This move brought decisive action from the old man. and on June 19. he filed an an swer and cross petition in which he made sensational allegations and ac cusations against his wife. In this cross petition the old veter- an declared that while he believed at the time of the second marriage that his wife loved him he had since be. come convinced that she was but plot ting to get his property. He accused his wife of forcing him to wash the dishes and do work about their home that was properly hers. He alleged that she was addicted to the use of drugs. The old veteran intercepted a note written to his wife by another member of the home and claims to have got possession of tne answer to it. Yesterday's action in the court was practically settled, between Woods and his wife before tne case came to trial. She was given the three lots in Klondike and $85 In money. The fin ancial arrangements now remain the same as at the conclusion of the first divorce case. "I am eoine back to Iowa, said Mr. Wood yesterday Afternoon, "and I'm here to say that I will not make a third mistake in this case. She tool ed me twice, but no never again." SHE LEAVES THE JAIL.

Yesterday she agreed to go home with Mrs. Sams, who came to Leavenworth to make a last effort to win the eirl over. "Well, Marie, are you going home with your mother?" the girl was asked at the police station as preparations were being made iior ner aepariure. "No. I'm going with this woman here," answered the blonde young wo tvisiti sbarrtlv. Since the morning nearly a month en when she stood before Judge Tay lor in the police court room in the face of the tears of the woman who declares that she is Marie's mother, cnose long Jail sentence rather than to go Viome with her. the girl has been firm in her denial.

FOOTBALL TOMORROW Ottawa vs. Washburn WASHBURN FIELD Sat'day, Oct. 10 Cam called at 3:30 RAILRO AD NEWS. President WlncheU of Rock Is land Denies Report That He Requested Employes to Tote for Stubbs and Bristow. WRITES A LETTER. W hich Is Emphatic and Covers Ground Thoroughly. Santa Fe News at Garden City and Arkansas City. The following- letter from E. C. Cook, editor of the Railway Journal at Chi cago, is self-explanatory: To the Editor of the State Journal: In your issue of September 26 you published an article headed '"Starts the Talk" In which you say among other things, as follows: "Acting, it is said. under instructions from B. L. Winchell, president of the Rock Island, a meeting of certain Rock Island employes is re ported to have been held in Topeka Friday, at which the employes were re. auested to vote against Stubbs and Bristow in the coming campaign." When I read the article It seemed as though some newspaper man had been imposed upon with a false story, but J considered the publicity by you a mis take, as it seemed hardly probable tha a railway official of Mr.' Wtnchell's high position and standing could be a party to such a move. However, t' make sure I addressed him a note and enclosed the article clipped from your paper and asked him if he wished to express himself on the matter. His re nlv in full is ns. follows, and I believ? that you in your spirit of fairness, wi'J give publicity to same: "Your favor of September 29th, with cliDDine from Kansas newspaper, l ought not to be necessary to deny any such statements as are made in this article. I not only have not directed any of our men how to vote, but I have not even indicated or intimated to them my wishes in the matter of the election of any candidate of any party in any state or national campaign. J. ao n" even know how the officers of our com nntiv located rieht here at headquar ters, are going to vote. All of the talk about railway companies directing the political action of their employes, so far as I have ever- known, is rubbish. 1 have been In the railway service, both as employe and employer, ior tniny four years, and I have never been told how to vote by any employer wnm wb in a miDorainaie uusmuu. since assuming executive work, I have never in a single instance, airectea, nor have I attempted to direct, the vote of any of those who are responsible to The writer believes that this candid, straightforward statement of President TO-i-mVisii la nhnnt the views of all the railway officials in regard to the politi cal situation as pertaining to the dis position of employes. Railway employes are intelligent enounn io n vote and railway officials are liberal enough' to let' their men Ao their ows thinking in matters not connected with railway service. Trust this denial win receive same consideration in your columns that the story of September 26th did. HARRIMAN BUSY. Up to Him to Reorganiase the Three Gould Lines. -Dittchiii-cr Pa.. Oct. 9.

Worthington of Cleveland, who is now receiver ror the wneenng ec Lane n,rie railroad, but who was formerly sta tioned at Pittsburg in charge of the Gould lines east of Toledo. It is un derstood that wortnington win De sent to the Western Pacific railroad. Alreadv there is a figrht on to see whether Cleveland or Pittsburg shall have the headquarters or me new tiar rlman lines. While Mr. Harrlman would personally favor Cleveland, It is understood the new $1,000,000 depot built by the Goulds here and the Pitts burg business interests will win out. Rock Island Earnings. Rock l3land earnings for August were issued yesterday and show an in crease of $140,154 in net. This turn ing of decreases in net into increases has probably been the basis for the upturn in tne stock, it is assumea that expenses are now so well in hand that unless the unexpected should happen the company wil be able here after to show gains in net earnings. The gross for August decreased $312,- 998.- Frisco for the month did not make" such a good exhibit. The decrease In gross was much greater and, although there was a large decrease In operat ing expenses, the net for the month fell away $130,248 compared with last year. The Evansvllle Terre Haute showed an increase in net. All the lines of the Rock Island system for August showed an increase in net of $15,910. The decrease in expenses of the system for the month was $l, 033,142. Since July 1 the decrease In net earnings has been $263,876. Milk Man Delays First Train. Butte. Mon., Oct. 9. The first regu lar passenger train from Butte to Chi cago over the Pacific coast extension of the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul railway, left this city yesterday several minutes late because of a tardy milk man, who failed to supply the com bination cafe and observation car on time. The train carried a goodly num ber of passengers. Electric Cars on Steam Roads. Electrical operation of railroads seems to be making as rapid progress on the Pacific coast as in the east. The Great Northern road is building an electrical plant two miles west of Leavenworth, Wash., to supply power for operating its trains through the tunnel in the Cascade mountains near Stevens Peak. The Great Northern "has ordered eight electric locomotives, which will be delivered within a few days, and it is announced that the electric opera tion of trains through the tunnel will begin about the first of next year. When cempleted the new plant will develop 12,000 horse power, but plans nave been prepared, for the construc tion of a second plant of equal ca pacity between the site of the present one and Leavenworth. WESTERN ROADS IN LTXF.. Will Adopt Same Bills of Lading; Used by Eastern Roads. Chicago, Oct. 9. The western rail- roads have practically decided to adopt the same uniform bill of lad ing which has been accepted by the eastern roads. It is understood that the western classification committee has asked the Interstate Commerce commission for authority to adopt the provisions of the eastern bill of lad ing on November 1. instead of the classification provision which they have filed. This action by the western roads is said to have greatly simplified the situation regarding the uniform bill of lading. Many of the shippers were dissatisfied with the eastern bill of lading because the western classifica tion had eliminated the carriers' risk clause, which exacted a higher rate. The eastern roads have decided to force the adoption of the bill of lading by the shippers. In this connection they have decided to refuse shipments where the shipper demands any receipt or signed writing regarding his shipment other than the bill of lading. Then if he choose to ship without a receipt and without signing the bill, as already announced, he must pay 10 per cent in advance of the regular freight rate. After November 1, in fact, there will not be another form of bill of lading In use on the eastern roads. ORDERS STEEL CARS. Harrlman Roads Buying Only Steel Coaches From Now On. It has been announced that the controlling powers t the Harriman roads have decided to order none but all-steel passenger cars hereafter. As a starter an order for twenty of such cars has been placed with the Pull man company. It is said that these coaches, practically will be indes tructible. Tests made in the Pullman shops show that the cars will stand almost any shock without telescoping, and with comparatively little injury. Delivery of the equipment is to be gin within sixty days. Other large systems are reported to be figuring on orders for new steel passenger coaches, and it is pre dicted that sooner or later all the roads In the country will be ordering this style of equipment. Steel con struction Is said to' have passed the experiment stage, and the adoption of this style of car means the saving of life and property in accidents. In the Pullman shops there is a steel plate taken from the side of a Pullman car that was "sldeswlped" by a coal car. It is said that this kind of a blow Is most destructive, but the passenger car in question was not in jured. SANTA FE AT GARDEN CITY. Changes In Switches and Additional Trackage Built in Yards. Garden City, Kan., Oct. 9. The changes in the Santa Fe yards, the re moval of the old tracks and switches and the construction of others to meet the requirements of the industries along the right of way, ore now in-progress; and sixty men, under the foremanshlp of George Shasteen, are making excel lent time In road building. The gang Is now at work on the switch which extends to the Gardeu City Grain Produce company's ele vator. This line runs from the main track east of the station along past the elevator and then swinging in south again connects with the switch track that runs Just north of the freight depot. A track win De duiu to tne new lo cation of the Standard Oil tanks and the tanks will vbe moved from their location Just east of the passenger sta tion to a point some four blocks east- One track will be built from the factory in the Main street and an other will run from the main line past the Garden City mill and the ice plant To Enforce Hours of Labor Law Announcements come from Wash ington that the Interstate Commerce commission has decided to follow up vigorously all infractions of the hours of labor law notwithstanding the objections made by the roads which have entered suits In the courts to enjoin the commission against requiring reports from the railroads of cases where men have worked more than the number of hours permitted by law. Detectives are to be employed, if necessary, to se cure evidence of cases of excessive work on the part of trainmen and telegraph operators. Lion and Lamb Lay Down Together. Commenting on the organization of the American Railroad Employes and Investors' association, the New York World says: "The formation of the American Railroad Employes and Investors' as sociation in Chicago last week is said by the promoters to mean that for the first time representatives of union la bor and representatives of capital are to sit at the same table and work out a plan of protection for both, at .the same time safeguarding the interests of the public."

Explains Depository Flanks for Re publican Committee. John Q. Royce. state bank commis sioner, has written a statement about the comparative attitude of the Repub lican and Democratic parties on the guaranty deposit law which will be used as a campaign document by the Republicans. Mr. Royce makes the charge In his article that a larger per cent of Dem ocrats than Republicans in the last house of representatives opposed the guaranty law, and that Baile Wag gener. Democratic state senator, was finally responsible for the defeat of the bill. Mr. Royce's statement is as follows: "My attention has frequently been called to the claims of Democratic ora tors and editorial writers to the au la admitted to the secured class, the penonty of the Democratic plan of guaranteeing bank deposits over the one proposed by the Republican platform of Kansas. "T,here is indeed a great difference in tne two plans. The Democrats propose a compulsory law. which means that on a certain day all banks shall, by the taking effect of the law. have their de Posits guaranteed. This plan may ad mit some banks that should not be in cluded in the secured class, but under the compulsory plan must be. The Re publican plan is not compulsory but permits barks n I tier the operation of the law. Under .17,'' plan of tne Republicans. fh ,nk mus make application to tne bankins Honarta.. rtilU; hor,u' to Participate in the I h .7. oucn application must fVmt.-th.bank wUhn to come in. In,?. du"ln 1U busin"ss in strict con formity to the banking law and that it .v.- ,u"'"s or law in the bank.. JUS 1 mU.St also be hwn by an ex amination of the bank. After the bank Republicans propose to leave the power in the hands of the bank commissioner to revoke the certificate of authority of such banks as persistently violate any ot the provisions of the banking law. by paying off its depositors and liquidating its affairs. "The difference in the two plans is. that the Democratic compulsory plan forces the good, the bad and the indif ferent banks into the guarantee class on a certain day by the mere taking effect of the law. while the Republican or voluntary plan allows banks to par ticipate in the guarantee fund only when satisfactory evidence is furnish ed the banking department that the bank is in a solvent condition finan cially and that its business is. and will be conducted in strict conformity to '.aw. "Carelessness in admitting banks t- ihe secured class might bankrupt the fund very early and thus destroy the usefulness of the law. but care exer cised In the beginning, and only such banks admitted aa can show a safe and conservative management, and only such as can furnish a guar antee that its affairs will be conducted In strict conformity to law, win maki the operation of the law a success. The fund that win be raised under the voluntary plan will be a perpetual guarantee to the depositors of banks and will grow by the accretions of in terest until It will become the pride of the bankers who contribute to Its crea tion and a powerful auxiliary in the successful transaction of the commer cial business ot the country. The only security which the depositor can have is such a safeguarding of the fund as will permit it to be maintained intact without the necessity of frequent as sessments on the guaranteed banks and only by the exercise of great care in admitting banks in the beginning will future assessments be eliminated, and only by their elimination will th guaranteeing of deposits be a success. "In short, the compulsory plan forces all banks into the guaranteed clasa. without exaroinatioa and wltii such violations of law as may be per mitted by the managing officers of the banks on the day the law goes Into ef fect, while the voluntary plan only ad- mits to the secured class such as clear ly show In their written application, confirmed by a personal examination that there are no violations of law in the banks and that the assets are all unquestioned aa to value. The Repub lican plan also proposes to pay off the depositors of any secured bank whose officers violate any of the banking laws and put it out of business as a penalty for "such violations. "The present bank commissioner has always favored the voluntary plan and ail of the bills before the legislature of the regular session of 1907 and the spe cial session of 1908, were of the volun tary plan. "The Democratic state platform con demns the last Republican legislature for its failure to enact such a law, but the facts are that a larger per cent of Democratic members of that legis lature opposed the guarantee deposit law, than opposed It from the Repub lican side, and the bill which finally passed the house almost unanimously was killed in the senate with Senator Waggener. the Democratic senator, leading the opposition and he alone objecting to consideration of the meas ure because the hour for cessation of legislation had passed." MEDLICOTTS CASH CHECKED. County Commissioners Find Treasur er's Office Is O. K. County Treasurer Stanley Medllcott last night finished the work of annual settlement in record breaking time. His office has been closed only one week, but during that time, by work ing early and late, Mr. Medllcott and his assistants have closed out the de tails of the complicated affair. Coming as it does at the time when cam Dal n business is supposed to supersede all other affairs with county officers who deeire another term. Medllcott has been noticeably absent from ail polit ical rallies and talkfests. Now that the pressing business of -the office Is disposed of for a time, he will at tempt a- "get out among 'em-' and ask for re-election. When the settlement was called, the amount on hand was $124,409.93. Of this, $24,179.63 goes to the county school districts. The city schools get a larger wad, towit: $25,048.64.

Notice their trim, graceful lines their stylish, serviceable materials, and through4 tailoring. Decidedly unusual and a saving to you. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVEUING OCTOBER 9, 1908. MILLS iff '1 J A few days ago the State Journal published a statement from an inmate of the poor farm which was In the nature of a protest against the treat ment received by the. unfortunates kept there and In which some pretty strong charges were made about the food served there and the sanitary ar rangements. Now comes Lloyd Rupln, a poor old broken down and dissipated printer, suffering from paralysis, who has been confined out there for the past three months, and makes still stronger charges against Superintendent G. W. Betts and the conduct of the. poor farm generally. Rupln tells the" fol lowing story: "The other day this man Betts called us all Into a room and read the article In the State Journal and de manded of us to tell which one. wrote It. He said that he would compel the State Journal by threats of a. libel suit to tell who had sent the letter. That letter did not begin to tell how bad conditions are out at the poor farm. "After the Incident of the letter Superintendent Betts declared that he would let none of us send a written line from there until he had opened and read our letters. I was without shoes and clothes and being killed by my treatment there, so I wrote my brother, Dr. Anton Rupln of this city, telling him of the state of afTairs out there and asking him to send me some clothes. After the letter had been sealed and stamped and placed In the mail box Betts took it out and started to open and read it. I tried to pre-ent him and he assaulted me In a savage manner. He said he would put me In a cell. I resisted as well as I could, but he Is a burly man and he kicked and beat me until I was nearly insensible. Some of the In mates had hid the key to the cell so he could not lock me In. "Hetts came to me afterwards and asked me to' let the matter of his treatment of me drop. I asked him for shoes and clothes so I could leave that place. He made me promise to keep still. I did. I would have prom ised anything to get away from that terrible place. "All the Inmates saw his brutal at tack on me that day and would verify my statement if they were not afraid to do so. "Why, I have lived there for days Bt a time with only green turnips to eat. We have to work hard out there and our treatment Is something awful. I cannot tell you what a state the sanitation has come to out there. "I went to Poor Commissioner Hale today to tell him about my treatment out at the poor farm, but he would not listen to me." Rupln Is an old time printer and In spite of his unfortunate state, talks Intelligently and convincingly of his treatment at the poor farm. He worked In this city many years ago on the Capital and before that on the old Commonwealth. He was later connected with the St. Louis Repub lic. If one-half what he says is true there should be an Investigation of the poor farm. Superintendent Betts was ap pointed commissioner at the poor farm last spring In place of John Taylor. The latter had held the place thirteen years without a com plaint being registered against him Commissioners Frank Harrison and Frank Simms secured Betts the place over the protest of Commissioner Sterne and it was supposed to be In pursuance of a political deal as Simms Is a candidate for sheriff on the democratic ticket and needs the in fluence of Betts who Is a Republican and a brother of Senator J. B. Betts. WILL MEET AT AUDITOR! CM. Knights and Ladles of Security to Hold Public Installation. The Knights and Ladles of Security will have a public installation of all the officers of the five Topeka councils in the Auditorium Saturday night.

After the affair a reception will be given to the members on the roof garden of the Na tional hotel. "Oe whil. Jones! Where'd you get that roll of money?"

On a certain day in a certain year the town of Euclid held nine resident wid ows, some of whom had lived there for eight or ten years. At the same time it held only one widower who was looked upon as eligible. He was Deacon Thom as and a nan -of forty. it was generally said in the town that those- nine wid ows were on the deacon's trail, and that nothing was surer than that on' of them would ultimately capture him. but none of them had made an; marked progress when the tenth 'wid ow arrived. Deacon Thomas had lost a good wife but he would marry again. He had discussed the matter with himself and come to that conclusion. He was we!' off and alone In the world, and he was domestic man. Time and again h.- had passed those nine widows in re view, as a man should when he marrie: the second time and can have his pick One was a little too old; another was too fat: another too slim; another too quiet and another talked too much. He could find more or less raults in nino of them. Another man in his place might have turned from the string of widows and sought a wife among tn-- old maids or the girls, but the deacon somehow stuck to widows. He would stand or fall by them. There was s feeling in his breast that it was nl fate, and sooner or later some one ol the 'nine would lead him to the altar. The only question was, which one? There was a matter that never oc curred to Deacon Thomas, and tha' was that the number or widows migni be increased any day, and thus give him a beter show, but at length the day came when the list strung out to ten. A. ,new widow arrived In town, and the deacon was almost the first man to learn of her advent. The nine fixtures should not be permitted to escape criticism. Any one oi mem could have solved the problem In six months had she gone at it in tn proper way. There Is a way for a wid ow and widower to get together and live as happy as two turtle doves for ever thereafter, but there was a reason why none of the nine couldn't take It. They were watching each other. For instance, if the widow Barnes was known to have sent a blackberry pie fresh from the oven over to the deacon, who kept bachelor's hall, the widow Green hustled herself and sent a strawberry shortcake, and the widow Black followed It with a pair of slip pers of her own make. If the widow Sabln saw him sitting on his porch and smoking his pipe after supper and stopped at his gate to ask him If he OUR $3.00 Values Ladies Shoes are x. THE BEST EXTRA '-SLL-flUAUTY NO.

V thought it paid to raise hogs in town, he would not have time to figure It out before the widow Blossom would- be along to ask him -What was the best thin-- to kill worms on plum trees. The nine, widows .congratulated them selves on their 5 perseverance and shrewdness. Each one thought she had the game in her, own, hands, but each one w-as destined., lesarn that she had simply been frittering a,way her time. There are widows and widows. There ire widows who have heads on them, nd widows. who sit and sigh and wait. The teams transporting No. 10's house hold effects had only driven up to the loor of the house she had rented when -he -appeared before Dfeacon Thomas, vho was working In his garden, to ask Mm to come over and settle a disputed lolnt with one of the drivers. He set led, it in her favox. of. course. Then lis advice was souprtft as to a cow and ther matters, and the seven of "the ine widows that came skulking about .-ot no show at all. The deacon went home with a new hought in his mind. Other new houghts were added to it next day. He as naraiy inrough breakfast when No. 10 came over and asked him to take are of $400 in cash -for her until she had time to drive over to the bank at Grafton. She sent him to the store for carpet tacks, asked his assistance to put up window curtains, and before noon he had a hammer in hand and was repairing the front fence. Wirfbws from the list of nine came along and spoke of doors being out of order and pumps choked up, and what a nice thing it was to have a handy man around, but the deacon didn't take the hints. Next day. with her own house still unsettled, No. -30 walked over to the deacon's and drove him out doors to whitewash the trunks of his apple trees, and then put his rooms to rights. She swept and dusted and rearranged and made his bed, and when she went home she carried some of his garments that needed mending or patching. The I deacon sat down with his chin n his hands and thought. He had to think. Some of the nine widows passed his gate and halted to ask him this or that, but he was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he failed to see them. Mrs. Graham sent her little boy over with a dish of blackberries for him, but on the way he encountered the boy sent by No. 10 with an angels' cake and was -crowded into the ditch and his dish emptied. The next day the new arrival confided to the deacon that- she had washed, ironed, baked and put up four gallons of peach pickles in a day. Also, that she always got a cent a pound more for her paper rags than any other housekeeper. On the next day she exhibited a rail road bond for a thousand dollars, and said that its keeping so worried her that she sometimes thought of getting married again. On the next day she had the deacon drive, her over to the bank, and he saw her deposit actual money and get a check book. On the way home she observed that a man of his general in telligence, with a smart wife to back him, could be elected a county super visor the next fall as easy as rolling off a log. On the next day, while the nine wid ows were holding an indignation meet ing at the house of one of the number, and had sent for a minister to ask that the past record of the new widow be hiiated up and laid bare. No. 10 enter ed the deacon's orchard, where he was still applying the whitewash brush and said: "Deacon, I had as good as bought the house I moved into, but I got to think ing last night. Suppose I should'meet a man here that I was willing to trust my future to? He would probably have a house of his own. He would rather I turned money instead of another house over to him. wouldn't he?" "Nacherally." replied the deacon, as he found his heart beating faster. "And. therefore. I Ijave concluded not to buy for some time. II at all. Don't you think my judgment sound?" The deacon did, but as he blushed and- stammered and -tried to say so the widow laid a hand on his arm and tOC Catawba Broadcloth Very smart suit with 40-inch coat trimmed and closed with large black satin buttons.
