Colonel Tucker Is chief paymaster of the department of the lakes and has been granted a leave of absence from his duties. Many of his friends supposed that he was at Mount Clemens. Mich., because of the state of his health. The domestic troubles of the Tuckers have been commented on in different quarters for several years and last year were given prominence through a request to the war depart ment from Mrs. John A. Logan that a court martial be ordered for Colonel Tucker. An investigation of the allegations against Colonel Tucker was made by the department and he Was exonerated.

Detroit, Mich., Oct. 13. The champion baseball teams of the major league re turned here from Chicago today and found the local "fans" hugging to their hearts the possibility of a Detroit vic tory this afternoon which would make the world's championship series a tie, two games apiece. While Chicago play ers and rooters found plenty of com fort in the memory of their teams' tri umph over Detroit last year and Its advantage of two victories to one so far this series, the local enthusiasts gleefully contemplated yesterday's score and declared that cooo ana crawiora and Rossman had only Just found their world's series stride. Contrasted with last Saturday's feverish expectancy when the series opened conditions today are fairly normal. With ideal baseball weather predicted "clear and warmer," with the eDtroit ticket speculators pivctically eliminated by their heavy losses on the opening day and a fair prospect of desirable seats to meet all demands and with the two clubs having taken the measure of each others strength in the hard battles to date, early indications suggested the ab sence of hysteria and the presentation of a thrilling contest. Summers and Brown will probably be the opposing pitchers today with Donovan likely to go in the box for Detroit tomorrow. Baseball writers from all over the country who are here to report the world's championship series have call ed a meeting today at the Hotel Pontchatrain to form a national asso ciation, carrying out the ideas outlined at a recent meeting in New York city. Among the objects sought by the wri ters are uniformity in the interpreta tion of scoring rules and stricter rules for admission to the press box. Weather conditions were perfect when play was called. The sun shone bright ly and a light breeze blew over the field. The crowd was larger than it was at the Saturday game here. The temporary seats surrounding the out field were comfortably filled, while the regular grandstand and bleachers were crowded. When play began the crowd was the largest that has ever attended a game at Bennett park. The grandstands and bleachers were Jammed and the tempo, rary circus seats in the outfield were about two-thirds filled. The lineup and batting order fol lows: Detroit. Mclntyre, left field. O'Leary, shortstop. Crawford, center field. Cobb, right field. Rossman, first base. Schaefer, second base. Schmidt, catcher. Couehlin. third base. Summers, pitcher. Chicago. Sheckard. left field.

THACED BY DIAMONDS. Stolen Gems Found in Tarious Pawn Shops. Twenty-Fire Thousand Dollars Worth Recovered. St. Louis, Oct. 13. The police of New York, Chicago, and Kansas City were notified by the St. Louis police last night of the arrest of Foster George on a charge of stealing diamonds and watches worth $35,000 from S. C. Powell, a wholesale Jeweler at 170 Broadway, New York, and arrests are expected to day In those cities. Twenty-five thousand dollars' worth of the Jewelry were recovered from George yesterday and the rest is be lieved to have been pawned. Diamonds known to have been carried by Powell when he left Chicago for St. Louis. June 29, have appeared In pawnshops in St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago. This led the detectives to believe that an organized band was connected with the robbery and this belief was not en tirely dispelled by the arrest of George yesterday though he refeused last night to name any accomplices. SERENE IN BULGARIA. Not a Cloud on Horizon According to Report. Sofia, Oct. 13. "There is no cloud on the Bulgarian horizon," sums up the official view in Sofia of the events that have transpired since the proclamation of Bulgarian independence by Prince Ferdinand, Oct 5.

They will be kept to the colors for another month, pending a settlement of the existing situations. The guards on the frontier have been given stringent in structions to keep well within the ter ritorial limits of the new kingdom and avoid clashing with the Turks.

A "wireless message received today from Arnold, the con ductor of the St. Louis balloon in the Gordon Bennett race,, says; "Lost everything in the North sea last night." Another dispatch received here says that the St. Louis sank in the North sea and that its -occupants were rescued by a schoonar. It is believed hee that the fog prevented Mr. Arnold and Mr. Hewitt who accompanied him from seeing the water and that- they were blown out to sea without knowing where they were going. i The Belgian balloon Utopia landed at 9 o'clock yesterday evening near Cuxhaven within 600 yards of the beach. The German Keelin landed at 4 o'clock this morning on the island of Noristand and the German Pegnitz came down at dawn today about 200 yards from the water near Bremer Haven. These airships left Berlin yes terday In the endurance contest, fourth class. Half a dozen others have come down close to the sea. The balloon St. Louis in charge of M. Henry Arnold left Berlin on Sun day In the International cup contest. It was sighted Monday morning from Calu, moving In a southwesterly direc tion.

The Span ish balloon Montanes, another con testant came to grief yesterday morn ing over Saxony, but the pilot and his assistant reached the ground without sustaining injury. The wireless message from Arnold was sent from the lightship off Heli goland. V The schooner that picked up the balloonist is the pilot boat Wangeroog.

Senator Clark Says Democratic Vic tory Would Have Good Effect. Chicago, Oct. 13. Asserting that the business Interests of the country would be benefltec" by the election of W. J. Bryan, former Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, said last night that he would take the stump and aid in every way possible to bring about the election of the Democrat candidate. Mr. Clark called at headquarters and conferred with National Chairman Mack. Mr. Clark said: "Mr. Bryan is making a most re markable campaign and I believe his chances are far better than were those in any of his previous contests. He has behind him a truly united Democracy. To me about the most foolish thing about this campaign is the prediction of opponents of Mr. Bryan that the election of the Demo crat candidate would injure business and bring about a panic. It will be difficult for Mr. Bryan to do more to disturb business conditions than has Mr. Roosevelt, I have investments in various parts of the country, and as a business man I do not hesitate to say I would not vote for a man whose election in my opinion would injure the business interests of this nation. I believe the election of Mr. Bryan would stimulate the business world and place It on a firm and healthy basis." Mr. Clark will make several speeches in Montana and other states. NIGHT RIDERS BUSY.

Arrives in Kansas City to Con sult His Lawyers. WRITES TO ROOSEVELT Renews Leases of Oil Land in Osage. Nation. Charges Standard Was Favored by tne President. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 13. Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma ar rived here this morning from Guthrie, to consult his attorneys with reference to a suit that he says he intends to bring against William Randolph Hearst charging the New York editor with li bel. .The governor stated soon after he had registered at a hotel that he had already placed the matter In the hands of his attorneys and that the petition would be filed by them whenever they saw fit. The suit, he said, probably would be brought in the circuit court, but just when he was unable to say. The case grows out of the publicity of the Standard Oil story which was the immediate result of Governor Has kell resigning as treasurer of the Dem ocratic national committee. The story in question alleged that a man named Haskell, in connection with two others, had made overtures to Frank S. Monnett, then attorney general of Ohio, to stop a suit pending against a Standard Oil company, the trio agreeing, it was alleged, to furnish $50,000 in case proceedings were dropped. Mr. Hearst asserted that this Haskell was Governor Charles N. Haskell, but the executive of Okla homa declared that he had no connec tion with the matter and said some other Haskell must have been meant. Governor Haskell declined this morning to make public the names of his attorneys who are to bring the suit against Mr. Hearst, or to make any definite statement regarding the In tended suit. He might, he said, be able later in the day to announce definitely just what the next step In the matter would be. Another Letter to Roosevelt. Governor Haskell of Oklahoma gave I to the Associated Press a signed state ment aaaressea 10 f resiaent itoose velt contributing another chapter in the controversy arising over the leas ing of 680,000 acres of Osage Indian oil lands. "I shall," says the governor in the course of his statement, "insist upon the cancellation of -this lease- in the interest of these citizens of our state or that congress take action to declare this improvident and unjust lease void. and secure for the Osage nation the just and reasonable compensation that other owners are receiving." The letter in full follows: "To Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Presi dent, Washington, D. C. "Sir: I have just received a letter from Frank Pierce, acting secretary, interior department, dated October 9, stating that my letter to you, asking for an explanation as to the oil lease on the Osage lands, had been referred to nis department. "He attaches an explanation, which Is not at all satisfactory. It contains practically nothing in conflict with my complaint. I agree that in 1896 the Democratic administration made a lease to E. B. Foster on the entire Osage nation for ten years at 10 per cent royalty. At that time the nearest known oil production was about 700 miles from the Osage nation, so that the Foster lease in 1896 was a rank wildcat proposition and, of course, the usual pioneer royalty of 10 per cent was allowed. But during the ten years the field was developed, and found to be unusually rich, and ten years at this low royalty was an ample reward to those who developed it. "By 1905 Foster had transferred his lease to the Indian Territory Illumi nating Oil company, a well-known sub stitute of the Standard Oil company. "Development showed that oil cov ered 680,000 acres, being the east part of the Osage nation, also extending north into Kansas, east into Indian territory and south into Oklahoma, and the whole area Is known as the richest oil country in existence at this date. The remainder of the Osage nation was barren. "Congress gave you the power to fix the consideration that the Osage people should receive as their part of the oil value after the expiration of the 10 year least. It was well known to you at that time what the sub-lessees were paying for small tracts in the Osage nation and adjoining lands in the Cherokee nation, as the Cherokee leases passed through the interior department and their approval and the royalties and bonuses received by the land own ers were a matter of record and ap proval In the interior department rec ords. It is scarcely possible that with these records before you, you failed to notice that ten dollars per acre cash bonuses and one-sixth royalty was much below the average compensation to the land owner. Indeed, in many instances cash bonuses of from 50 to even one hundred dollars per acre were received by the land owners. Cites Some Cases. "A lew cases found in the interior de partment records are as follows: "The Lannon family, seven hundred acres, Cherokee nation, immediately joining the Osage nation, interior de partment lease, made In 1903, cash bo nus $40,000, royalty one-eighth. We have eight or ten similar leases where the general public information shows cash bonuses substantially as large as the above and royalties running at one sixth, but your subordinate officers In charge of the Indian office at Musko gee, on orders from the interior depart ment, this morning refused to permit examination of the records to confirm same accurately, but they are subject to your investigation and you win find, no doubt, that the Lannon lease was only an average lease. "And numerous other leases adjoin ing the Osage nation give you the op portunity to know that a bare one eighth royalty without any cash bo nuses to the Osages was a gross out rage on that nation. "Congress no sooner gave you the authority to fix the amount of com pensation than the Osages filed a written request with you for an oppor tunity to be heard and produce evi dence, which they could easily have produced showing you that a cash bonus of seven million dollars and one-sixth royalty would be indeed a moderate compensation to them. "You neglected to give the Osages any opportunity whatever to be heard. The fact that 680,000 acres of rich oil land was the stake that the Standard Oil company was playing for and the land owners denied the right to be heard, is something that will require a more lucid explanation than Mr. Pierce has seen fit to give. "Any practical business man Is, ready to recognize that 680,000 acres In one tract of land is of far greater proportionate value than the small tracts of a few hundred acres each and therefore, the greater surprise that you should have fixed a royalty, (without any cash bonus) much lower than the individual land owners were securing on small tracts. There were no much improvided leases heing made in that whole combined field. "Mr. Pierce suggests In his letter to me as a matter of fact that it was not known at the time that the Stand ard Oil company was the real party in interest. I submit to you that the very fact that Messrs. Guffy, Barns dale and Senator Depew well known Standard Oil representatives with others of the same order, making a personal appeal to you for this low royalty to the land owners, should have been ample evidence that the Standard Oil company was the real beneficiary. Senator Depew and the Standard. "It was the same Senator Depew who Induced you to grant the Prairie Oil Gas company franchise over the protest of Secretary Hitchcock, less than one year before that time; ana in this one transaction you gave the Standard Oil company a donation from the party of the Osage Indians of more than enough to pay the fa mous 29 million dollar fine. "I shall insist upon the can cellation of this lease in the interest of these citizens of our state, or that congress take action to declare this Improvement and unjust lease void and secure for the Osage nation the just and reasonable compensation that other owners are receiving. "Marvelous as it may seem, the difference between the royalty you fixed for this new lease, and the average amount received in the bal ance of the oil field, by land owners controlling their own propety, is fully equivalent to a net loss of $10,000 to each and every member of the Osage nation and .whether this gross injus tice to our people was accomplished by your lack of consideration or In any other way, the authorities of the state of Oklahoma will not rest until this lease has been cancelled and Jus tice done our people. Respectfully, (Signed.) "C. N. HASKELL. Governor." Governor Haskell said this aftnoon after a lengthy conference with his at torneys that he had given his counsel authority to bring suit against Mr. Hearst as soon as they could get service on the New York editor. This, he said, he believed would be possible at some point between Kansas City and St Paul when Mr. Hearst made his return trip to the east. Mr. Hearst Is now on. the Pacific coast and is Dooked to epeak at Seattle tonight. BRAZIL WAKES UP. WiU Build Twelve Miles of Docks at Rio de Janeiro. Washington, Oct. 13. The greatest dock system in South America with a frontage of 12 miles will be put into operation when the planned extension of works of Rio de Janeiro is com pleted. Under the contracts the plans provide for the building of an exten sion of ten miles of docks to the two miles already provided, this additional dockage being secured by building piers at right angles to the shore to the north of the present docks, which are constructed as a curved frontage on the bay without slips or piers. There will be three great piers at a distance of 1,115 feet from each other. Consul General Anderson reports that the plans approved by the Brazilian government doubtless will be carried out, provided the money can be se cured. It is estimated that the addi tions planned will add about $19,500, 000 to the cost of the entire work. The average annual tonnage at Rio for the past three years has exceeded $2,000,000. The docks now being con structed in Rio are owned by the fed eral government of Brazil. The gov ernment has determined not to oper ate the dock itself, but to lease them to private parties, who will manage and control them under government auspices and regulations for a fixed rental. CHECK NIGHT RIDERS. Governor Wilson of Kentucky Offers a Reward for Arrests. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 13. In offering $500 reward for the apprehension and conviction of the gang of night riders, who attacked a negro named Walker In his home In Hickman coun ty last week and shot him, his wife and two children. Governor Wilson has made an extreme appeal to the people of the state to "arise in their might" and put down such lawless ness. The governor says: "This crime and the stain on Ken tucky of the murder of four helpless prisoners at Russellville, both by bands of night riders, is an outgrowth and the logical result of the toleration of night rider crimes in the large dis tricts of the state, only one removed from civil war. and the very safety of our institutions and what we have of civilization is involved and that only salvation for the name and honor and character of Kentucky is for the whole people to rise up In their might to save their liberty, uphold their law mercilessly, put down arson murder, intimidation and proscription wherever they dare show themselves. NOW HE'LL FLY HIGH. Wilbur Wright WiU Try Aeroplane at 3,000 Feet. Paris, Oct. 13. According to the Paris newspapers, Wilbur Wright, the aviator, has told Lazare Weiler, head of the syndicate that has purchased the French right to the Wright Broth ers' machine, that as soon as he has completed his contract with the syndi cate by instructing three pilots in the workings of the aeroplane, he will at tempt some flights for height. CALLS MILITIA Escort Furnished at Request of the sheriff. Greensburg Official Fears At tempt to Lynch Bitler. FEELING IS BITTER. Accused of Atrocious Murder of Aged Woman. Detail From Co. E. Accompany Prisoner From Hutchinson. For the second time since the Dewey Berry feud in Cheyenne county, the governor has been obliged to call out the militia to aid in the enforcement of law. On application of Sheriff C. A. Stephenson of Kiowa county. Gover nor Hoch has ordered out a detach ment of national guard troops under personal charge of Col. P. M. Hoislng ton of Newton to assist Sheriff Stephenson in protecting Samuel Bitler from mob violence. Bitler is to betrled today at Greens burg, the county seat of Kiowa county, for the murder of a Mrs. Rosenbereer. The feeling against him has been and is very strong, and he has been un der confinement at Hutchinson. Governor Hoch has been notified by Sheriff Stephenson that it might be necessary to have an escort of sol diers bring Bitler to Greensburg, but not until late Monday night was any call received from Mr. Stephenson. Governor Hoch telephoned Col. P. M. Hoisington at Newton to go to Hutchinson, make up a squad of na tional guardsmen from the company at that place, and take Bitler to Greensburg and stay with him as long as he seemed to be in any danger from a mob. The depatchment left Hutchinson at 6 o'clock this morning, arriving at Greensburg at 9:45. A wire received from Col. Hoising ton this morning, dated Hutchinson, stated that he had, by working all night, collected a detail of 32 members of Company E, Second infantry, it Hutchinson, together with Adjutant Asad V. Williamson, Capt. F. L. Lem mon and First Lieutenant W. R. Flee man, and with these men would pro- ceed at once with the prisoner to Greensburg. Adjutant General J. W. F. Hughes has been In frequent conferences with Governor Hoch this morning about the situation, but nothing of a sensational nature has developed, because no news of importance had come from the seat of war. "I talked with Sheriff Duckworth of Reno county oyer the long-distance telephone," said General Hughes, "and was informed by him that he thought the "conditions warranted sending a squad of soldiers down there with the prisoner.'- Apparently Sheriff Stephen-' son was unable to trust his own people in Kiowa county county to act as dep uties. He was afraid they would not protect the prisoner. Sheriff Duckworth will go with the prisoner and the mili-1 tla to Greensburg, I understand." Governor Hoch said: "I don't like to call out the military forces of the state without there is absolute need for so doing, but I am determined to prevent any lynching, so long as I am in this office. I told Sheriff Stephenson on Oct. 5, when he wrote to me about the pos sibility of his needing some help, that he should have all he wanted, provided he was certain that he could not han dle the situation alone." This is the third time that Governor Hoch has been obliged to call out the militia during his term of office. The first time was during the Dewey feud, and the second time occurred In May, 1905. when Sheriff Welfelt of Cowley county thought he scented a mob and demanded help in protecting a prisoner. The probability Is that Welfelt did not need any help and was merely scared, but there is also the possibility that it was the presence of the troops that averted trouble. The crime charged to Bitler is the murder of Mrs. Rosenberger, an elder ly woman, wife of a farmer and moth er of a family. She had gone to town. but failed to return when darkness came on. A search resulted in nnaing her body In a pasture not far from her home, near the road, with three bullet wounds in it. The theory is that Bit ler was riding with the woman in the buggy, leading his own horse. The course of the rig was traced by a pe culiar hoof mark of Bitler's horse. The hoof had been broken and the break appeared In the print left in the road. Circumstantial evidence pointed to the killing of Mrs. Rosenberger by Bitler shortly before she would have reached home. A motive for the crime seemed to be lacking. While Bitler was confined In the Reno county jail, he was married to a wo man with whom he is anegea to no been living with for three years. His parents live at Eureka. Kan., his fath er being a banker there. REPLIES TO HUGHES. W. J. Bryan Delivers Thrilling Ad dress to University btuaenis. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.

'S SERIES.! Started 23 Years A so Grows Yearlj In Popularity. Baseball Commission Arranges All of the Detail. PLAN SATISFACTORY. Division rf the Gate Money Wa a Serious Problem. How It I Arranged ind How Clubs and Players Fare. Chicago, Oct 13. Some 23 years ago the first world's series was played when the St. Louis Browns, winners of the association honors, defeated the Chicago, and again the following year duplicated their then unheard of teat. In 1887 Detroit got the baseball laurels supreme. It was during the Dig lour regime. Ihen followed series after series gradually the play becoming more pop ular until the exposion of the Ameri can Association and finally In 1900 the reorganization of it in the name of the American League. The Boston Amerl can League club was twice winner of the honors. New York Giants won Jt once, defeating the Philadelphia Ath letlcs in 1905. In 1906 the White Sox defeated the Cubs in that memorable series. Last season Detroit fell before the prowess of Chance's men. Pilots of the pennant winners who guide their clubs through a nerve-rack ing season attending to their players' every want, lie back and rest during tne world s series. lor every detail is taken from out of-their hands during the world s series. Four years ago af ter the failure of New York and Bos ton to meet In a world's series frey baseball's national commission, that all powerful board consisting of Garry Herrmann, Harry Pulliam and Ban Johnson, handed out an edict which stated that they and they, alone would attend to the driving o the, world's play. And the plan has been eminently satisfactory, disposing at once of the various rumors and arguments of "foul play from player and spectator, which was so wont to arise in series gone by. Following Immediately the action of the commission in taking over the series this annual play became Immensely more popular. The division of the- gate money of the world s series Is as follows: Ten per cent of all the receipts go to the national commission for expenses. Last season In the series between De trolt and Chicago this amounted to more than J10.000. Of the 90 per cent remaining in the first four games the players receive 60 per cent ana the club owners 40 per cent. After the first four days the total amount taken in barring the 10 per cent belonging to the commission goes to the owners or tne two ciuds. The club owners' share Is always equal lv divided regardless of results. The players' share Is divided on the basis of 60 per cent to the winners and 40 per cen! to the losers. An Innovation this season Is the rule pro hibiting club owners from offering "bonuses" to the clavers' regular receipts ns provided In the-rules. It was back In 1903 that the Pittsbunt -Pirates though de feated for the all-championship by the Hoston Americans, fared better financially than did their rivals through the generos ity of their owner, h added to the play ers share the entire amount Belonging to the club. When the Athletics lost to the Olants In 1905 they, too, were given the club owner's share together with what was legitimately coming to them. In 19ii6 Comiskey. the big hearted owner of the Chicago White Sox, gave his play ers $16,000 besides their rejrular share for winning from the Cubs. President Yaw key of the Tigers last season handed the losing Tigers 15,0OO for their valiant ser vice and the players split among them selves something llkt $33,000. The Cubs' share of the receipts last season was something like $34,000 and President Murchy added enough to this to make 145.000. The wisest ruling made by the national commission was that the players should share only In the first four games. As four victories decide the championship this regulation prevented any talk of needlessly prolonging the series on the fiart of the players for the sake of better ng themselves financially. TWIRLERS' NEW RECORD. Four Games in the American Without Allowing a Safety. Chicago, Oct. 13. After going two seasons without pitching a no-hit game, American league twirlers set a new record this year by pitching four games without allowing a safety. That is more than ever before recorded in one organization in a single season. Better than that, the world's record of shut ting out a team without letting a bats man reach first base has been tied in 1908. Cy Young of Boston. Dusty Rhoades and Addle Joss of Cleveland and De serter Smith of Chicago are the Amer: can league pitchers who worked in complete games of nine innings without allowing a hit this year. To Joss ot Cleveland belongs the honor of equal ing the best possible performance on the slab, that of retiring twenty-seven men in succession without letting one of them to first. Joss performed that feat against the White Stockings. A Freak Bet Unearthed. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 13. A freak bet of the baseball season just closed was unearthed when Bob Mahornay raid Edgar McIntoH of Mobile. Ala., S25 on a wager made last snring be fore college closed. At that time Mahornay, student the university of fered to bet $25 to $1 that Pittsburg and New York would not be tied for second place in the National league race at theend of the season.

IN- THE AMERICAN' LEAGUE Criss Led Ty Cobb by a Trifle in the Batting List. Detroit. Oct. 13. Criss of St. Louis, playing in sixty-five games, nosed out Ty Cobb with his l&l games in the American league batting lists at the close of the long, arduous season. Criss is credited with .854 to Cobb's 325. Detroit, champions of the American league, has a merry bunch of sluggers hovering near the top. Near Cobb, third in fact, is Crawford, with .322. Thomas has .302. Ross- man takes up .294. Mclntyre looms up with .290. It is a group of heavy hitters that Jennings has surrounded himself with, and these, with his pitchers working right, form the com bination with which he hopes to carry off the world's series. Pat Dougherty, left fielder for the game White Stocking ball club, leads the league in stolen bases with forty seven to his credit. Dougherty bats down in the list and from fourth position has scored sixty-seven runs this season. Cobb, who has stolen forty-one bases, has scored eighty eight times, assisted by a heavier hit ting bunch back of him than Dougherty. In the meantime Dougherty has been batting .29u, six of the hits being three-taggers and eleven two-baggers. Mclntyre, who leads off for Detroit, has scored 105 runs this season. Hahn, who leads off for the White Stocking team, has scored fifty runs. MATHEAYSOX THE STAR. But Overall Was a Close Second In National League Twirlers. New York. Oct. 13. Christie Mathewson, premier twirler on the New York Giants' pitching staff, is the leading twirler in the National league by one point. Mathewson has been making a hard fight all year for the leading honors and has been heading the league for the last month.

MAXY SHUTOUTS MADE. Pitchers in the National League Again Break Records. s- Chicago, Oct. 13. National league pitchers again broke all records for the majors in the matter of shutouts this year and kept up the ratio of in crease in the amount of whitewash distributed, which has been growing more plentiful with each season..' In 163 games this season one of the teams failed to score a single run and in one of those games neither team scored in ten innings. Last year there were 154 shutout games, which was the high water mark for a major Making Good. There is no way of making lasting friends like "Making Good;" and Doctor Pierce's medicines well exemplify this, and heir friends, after more than two decades of popularity, are numbered bv the hundreds of thousands.

The way the old league's pitchers have been gaining in the whitewash business is shown by the fact there were 141 shutouts in 1906, 105 in 1905 and only S7 in 1904. In five seasons, therefore, the number has nearly doubled. Thirty-nine of this -ear'3 shutout games have been of the 1 to 0 variety, against forty-two of that kind a year ago. Drawn games in the National league this season numbered only six, and there were twelve of them last year, but none of the 1907 variety was anywhere near as famous as the one of nine innings which ended in a riot at the New York Polo grounds this year. EXTRA ROUNDS IN 63 GAMES. American League Players Worked Overtime to Record Number. Chicago, Oct. 13- American league players worked overtime in sixty three games during ihe season just closed.

"S Season or 1SOS. New Tork. Oct.. 13. Extra inning battles have been less numerous this year than last In the National league, b"t the limit has been raised by two innings. Fifty-one times the decision has not been reached in nine rounds, and there were fifty-nine such games in 1907. The longest game in the old league this year went seventeen in- nines nnrl thpr. n-orp three snrh T.nst nings. Chicago and Boston hooked up in a seventeen inning tie at Bos on on June 4, Pittsburg and Brooklyn went the same distance on August 22, and the Pirates scored the only run made. Philadelphia and Brooklyn played seventeen innings, and the Phillies won, 3 to 2, on September 2. Two sixteen inning games have been played, and one of those was un- decided at dark. New York's Giants clded at dark. New ing mixed up in botl mere was one game There was one game each of fifteen fourteen and thirteen innings. Five through eleven rounds, and twenty-five were of ten innings' duration. RECORD SPEED BY LYTLE Italian Car Averaged Over 64 Miles Hourly on the Auto Parkway. New York. Oct. 13. Demonstration of the speed, possibilities of the new Long Island motor parkway which will be the scene of the Vanderbilt cup race on October 24 was given whenthe new course was formally dedicated by a series of sweepstakes events, the star feature of which fur nished excitement for the motorists when Herbert Lytle, at the wheel of the Isotta. maintained an average speed of 64.25 miles per hour, the fastest pace ever developed in a road race in America. The meteoric flights of the biggest cars showed that phenomenal results might be expected. Lytle hit up high speed immediately upon his release from the starting line, and kept it up with hardly a fluctuation at 64.28 miles per hour. Only second interest was the close rivalry between drivers Sharp and Bourque of the Garden City sweepstakes string. The former covered 187.6 miles in 199 minutes. Cobb and Crawford Lead. Detroit, Oct. 13. The unusual cir cumstance of having two of their play ers in first and second places in the American league batting race is an other honor that the Detroit Tigers gain this year, Tyrus Cobb with a- .325 average and Sam Crawford with .812 being the pair to grab the honor. Criss, of St. Louis, is over both of them, but figures in less than 100 games, there fore cannot be classed as a leader, ill but a .half doien of these games simply being as a substitute batter. One Game of Nineteen Hits. New York, Oct. 13. The limit of swatting in the National league for one game this season was nineteen hits. Chicago hung up that figure in one game with Boston, in which four pitchers were tried in succession with out avail. Last season the high limit was twen'y-one hits, made by New York against the Pirate pitchers.

Trgers' Heary Hitters Make 5 Buns in Sixth. Ths F nal Score of 8 fo 3 Made Chicago Fans Weary. Chicago, Oct. 13.- .Detroit became a real contender for the .world's base ball championship when it defeated Chicago in decisive fashion, 8 to 3 Monday afternoon. Manager Jennings achieved this re i suit. wiLi a cnange in ms uno-up. uowns was put on tne oencn ana tne efficient Schaefer, who is at home in almost any position, was shifted from third to second base, Coughlin occupy ing the third sack. This shakeup, however, cannot be said to have had any material effect in winning the game, for neither Schaefer nor Coughlin got a hit, while Coughlin bungled one of his two chances. Counting the world's series of last year, this victory was the first Detroit has scored in eight contests for the highest prize In the baseball world. Muliin, elected by Manager Jennings to pitch for Detroit, was steady throughout the game, holding Chicago to seven scattered hits and passing only one man. Pfelster s left-handed shoots, for the most part, failed to puzzle trie Michigan Datsmen. tie sides issuing three passes, he was hit sareiy twelve times, two of the clus. ter being doubles, and six of them occurring in one inning. It was this inning the sixth which gave the game to uetroit. The gray clad Tigers, two runs be hind Chicago when the inning opened. came across the plate in a procession The crowd, with the' exception of a minority from Detroit which enjoyed the proceedings hugely, pleaded with vociferous unanimity lor the retire' ment of Pfelster. Manager Chance, who failed to show anv traces of em barrassment or displeasure at the way in which Detroit came up from be hind and went ahead, smiled cheer fully and Ignored the request. Tyrus Cobb, idol of the Detroit en thusiasts, whose playing was a great disappointment a year ago, came into his own. He batted like the natural hitter he is and ran bases like a flash. His batting average for the day was .800. Out of five times up he hit safe ly four times. His stinging single to right in the first drove in O Leary with the first run of the game. In the fourth he reached first base on a field ers' choice, but in the sixth he beat out his slow grounder, scoring Mcln tyre. In the eighth his sprinting abil ity enabled him to make a double of a hit which with a less speedy man would have been good for only one base. In the next Inning he singled and he not only stole second, but also pilfered third by a narrow margin. He had no opportunities in -the field,, to the great regret of els admirers in the stand. Others, whose work contributed materially to the victory, were O'Leary, Crawford and Rossman. each of whom made two hits, although Rossman and O'Leary were both charged with er rors. To Mullin, however, the greatest cred it was awarded by the spectators. Even in the fourth Inning, when all three of Chicago's runs were scored, he never faltered. His nerve remained steady; his arm strong and his control excel lent. The only base on balls which he allowed was turned into a run by Chi cago. Despite the fact that the sun shone brightly Sunday and the temperature was higher than yesterday, only 14,543 paid admissions were registered at the various turnstiles, netting total receipts of $22,767. Dawn did not find the usual line of eager would-be purchasers at the ticket windows. It was 8 oclock before a single line formed; and, when play began, there were still vacant seats in the more distant bleachers. These seats, however, probably would have been filled had it not been that manv of the spectators chose to occupy the temporary seats In the overflow ground behind the barriers in right center and left field.

Governor Harris Joined the special before It left Akron this morning to participate in the meet ings until Grafton is reached at noon. So great was the crowd at Barberton, the first stop of the day that Mr. Taft had to make two speeches, one to a part of his audience after which the train was moved up and he then ad dressed those who could not see or hear him make his first address. Wadsworth produced another big au dience which cheered for both Taft and Harris. At both places, as well as at this the third meeting of the day which also was a large one, Mr. Taft talked of the tariff and of labor con ditions. He spoke of the beautiful Oc tober morning and of the delight It gave him to campaign under all the fa vorable circumstances which presented themselves in his home state. His voice was again in excellent condition. The first casualty to the Taft special In all it3 travels occurred this morning as the train pulled onto a siding at this place. The front truck of Judge Taft's car and the rear truck of a Pullman just ahead of it left the track. The train was coming to a atop and the car of the candidate did not move a length after the accident. One of the journals of the truck was cracked, but was pronounced to be safe. The delay on account of the derailment was just 30 minutes, but this added to the time which had been previously lost put the special an hour behind in leaving Sterling. Th cause of the accident was a spreading rail of the tracks on which the special was moving from Its transfer from the Erie to the Baltimore Ohio road. Mr. Taft made his speech to the people of Sterling while the railroad men were putting his car on the track. TAFT REPMK8 TO GOMPERS.

BAKERSSTAY OUT Leavenworth Bread Makers and Proprietors Fus. Recognition of the Union Seems to Be the Trouble. i:acii are obstlxate. Causing Loaves of Union Make to Be Shipped In. Owners Say Can't Always Quit When Clock Strikes Six. I-arge Crowd Hears the Candidate Dis oiivs Labor Question. Akron, O., Oct. 13. Seventeen Ohio towns heard and saw William H. Taft Monday. He talked from Cincinnati to Atiron through a portion o the state conceded to have been a Foraker stronghold with a portion of territory Democratic. The candidate was listen ed to by large crowds. The important speeches of the day were at Zanesville, Cambridge and Akron, where in each instance the candidate left the train to meet his audience. In his Zanesville speech Mr. Taft went after both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Gompers. "Mr. Bryan goes around the country saying I am the father of Injunction," declared Mr. Taft. "It is not true. I did not invent injunction or injunctions in labor disputes. But It Is quite nat ural that Mr. Bryan should make the mistake because In a letter he wrote to the district attorney of Belmont, O.. he said he has not read my decisions." Continuing. Mr. Taft gave great em phasis to what he regarded as the ef fect of the decisions he had rendered on the bench. "I laid down the law. and I laid down the principles." he said, "upon which the labor organizations In this country have since built up their prosperity and their usefulness and Instead of say ing that I am an enemy of, they recog nize that I am one of the greatest bene factors labor has had. I decided a case against the labor Brotherhood of Kngl neers and the brotherhood condemned me. In four years they got Into the courts In St. Louis and they had to cite my case to induce the court to withdraw the Injunction there because 1 had laid down the principles upon which they could organiz--". could have their officers, could raise their funds, could go on anil conduct strikes under advice of the officers, and In that case they Induced, on the authority of my decision, the judge to withdraw his in junction and they went ahead and won the strike. That same thing occurred in a court in Cincinnati and a decision rendered in Chicago. If you will ex amine the case you will find that in stead of being an oppressor of labor I am Us benefactor. I have been some thing besides a Judge. I had 30.000 la borers under me on the Panama canal Of course we had difficulties down there. We had the question of wages and I decided against the laborers What did they do? I gave them the reason for deciding the way I did. Wrhy, they elected me a member of their union. Why? Because I am fair to labor. Under that annunciation the trades unions have doubled in this country they never were in such a prosperous state; the American Feder ation of Labor has increased 100 per cent. Mr. Gomper's salary has been Constipation deranges more lives with nervousness than any other abnormal condition. WHEAT FLAKE CELERY is made from the whole grain of the wheat, celery infused, mak ing it nature's evacuant. For sale by all Grocers inrroswH RO ner cent and I am glad of It. The labor organizations have never reached the point of usefulness before that they now nave. Aimougn you would think from reading what Mr. r,mr,(.rs hajs to sav that they were in a condition of abject slavery. They have never exercised tne useiui mnu nt thp nower in protecting their own interests before as they have under the law as I laid down some iv or ia years ago." At Canal Dover while making his labor speech the candidate was inter rupted by an exclamation irura me au dience declaring: "Labor unions are gone." "They are not gone," replied Mr. Taft. "The labor organizations today ot-a mnre Tirosoerous have more money have more inlluence, have more lawful control than they ever naa in inerr lives before. The American reaeraumi of Labor has increased its number 100 per cent. The International Typo graphical union In its annual report showed an increase from 28,000 to 45.000. They paid in five millions of dollars. They had $250,000 in their treasury, and they never had such prosperity or influ ence in their lives and the basis upon which those organizations have been constructed are the legal lines whicn I laid down in my legal opinions. Therefore, I claim that there is no body in public life that has done more to leeallze and give force and standing to labor unions than I have." At the Akron meeting last night Mr. Taft reiterated the points he had pre viously made on the labor question and brought to his support the recent pub lished letters of Daniel J. tieete, men. ber of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, and head of the International Longshore men and Teamsters' organizations. The candidate said the testimony of Mr. Keefe was the more weighty because Mr. Keefe had ascertained his (Taffs)' position on labor through constant ne gotiations with reference to the Pan ama canal and in the candidate's ca pacity also. Mr. Keefe closes his in dorsement of Mr. Taft, which the latter read, as follows: "I shall support and vote for Mr. Taft, who was admitted to membership In the International Brotherhood of Steam Shovelers and Dredgemen, ow ing to his strong advocacy of the en forcement of the eight-hour law on all government work coming under th? jurisdiction of the war department. I might say that Mr. Taft has done more to enforce laws in favor of organized labor than all his predecessors." Music hall was crowded to its ca pacity to hear Judge Taft last nlghf. The candidate did not refer to his speech in this city three years ago when he denounced the leadership of George B. Cox. He said before making his speech that there was no reason why he should take up that matter, as the state had by its own action di vorced the discussion of national and municipal political questions and the Cox issue of that time was in no way connected with the national Issues of to day. United States Senator Charles Dick, whose home Is in Akron, presided at the meeting tonight. In his intro duction of Taft he mentioned Senator Foraker's name in a list of others who had appointed the judge to political po sition, and In doing so he said Judgtf Taft had made good In every place he held, whether under the appointment of Arthur Harrison, Foraker, McKin ley or Roosevelt. The audience showed great friendliness for Judge Taft. After the Music hail speech Mr. Taft was received enthusiastically by several hundred Italians, who had gathered in Celebration of Columbus day with an entertainment and ball. The candidate was relieved in his speechmaklng today by Senator W. Alden Smith of Michi gan. The day's work made itself felt on the vocal chords of Taft. Judge Taft's Itinerary. Chicago, Oct. 13. William H. Taft's complete itinerary from October 16 to October 21, was announced at the Re publican national headquarters.

Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 13. The bakers are still out. Their leaders de clare that unless the employers sign a contract to use union men only the members of the newly formed organi zation will not return to work. The master bakers are equally firm. They insist that they will not sign such an agreement. This they say is the only serious objection to the contract offer ed by the union. That it is a fight for tne recognition of the union is the ad mission of the organizer. The bakers sent a committee to Kan sas City to make arrangements for oread and all who desire to patronize union made bread will have that privi lege. The master bakers when approached on the possible settlement c-f the strike all -agreed to sign up a contract if a certain objectionable feature could be eliminated. "Would you sign up an agreement if the clause requiring you to employ union men only should be stricken out?" was asked of John McCool. "Yes, I would," replied McCool. "I am willing to sign up for day work and ten hours. You know we can't drop our work Just when the clock strikes six. You know the condition of the sponge or the baking may be so we can't leave it and the boys would be required to stay a little while longer." Sam Wuerth. when asked If he would sign a contract with the bakers If the compulsory clause should, be with drawn, replied: "Yes, I will sign up a contract." "Would you hire your bakers again?" "Well, I would not hire them all. I might hire one or two of them back again." "Yes, sir," replied Mrs. Alice Sehalk ers. "I would hire my bakers again." "How about the 21 hours they claim they worked?" "Well, did you ever, that's worse than ever. Now. I'll tell you we were short on buns and my brother asked one of the boys to stay and help him out, and he did, but the other two boys stayed of their own free will." 'The boys will not go back, Mrs. Schalker. unless the union will be rec ognized." "Well. Tm afraid they won't go back then. I always tried to make my bak ers feel right at home and I hate to see them go." National Oreanizer Herman Koss stated, when asked if the bakers would sign up and return to work ti a con tract modifying the union feature should be drawn up. he said: 'No. the boys will not return to worK unless the union is recognized. You see we have not put in that contract near ly nil that usually is'btoeed in the bak ers' contracts. The main thing the boys want is recognition ot tne union. You see. the boys are satisfied that the union is a good thing for them and they can get the benefit of the in ternational union. They can go any where and get benefits from the union. But this is the situation the boys have been holding oft waiting for the master bakers. It was not the desire to get goods shipped in here. We don't be lieve in getting goods from outside; we believe In patronizing home industries, but if the master bakers do not sign up at once the first shipment of bread will come up from Kansas City. We sent a committee down to see about the bread and It will come. Sev eral families are living on crackers rather than eat bread not made by union bakers. T ate suDner with a man last nigni and he said his wife would bake their own bread. No. vou can say for the boys mat thev won't go back to work unless their union is recognized."

FOR SALE BY G ATOM KUG CO. RAILROAD NEWS. The Railroads' "Empire of th" West' Thousands of Million of Dollars Are Needed. TO DEVELOP COUNTRY Claimed That State Legislatures Handicap the Hail ways. Topeka Represented at I'itts hurg Meeting. There never was a like period in the history of railroad development of this country than demanded the enormous expenditures that are found necessary to provide the most urgent transporta tion facilities, as exists today in the case of the big systems of the west. Money millions of money and hun dreds of millions measured by the standard of a dollar, is the crying need of the artery-like transportation sys tems that traverse the "Empire of the west." There is a current of agricul tural and industrial activity existing in the west at the present day that sur passes anything appearing on the rec ords of any other land. Following this development of its natural resources will come the era of manufacturing and in this it is impossible to prophesy the future. A glance at the brief his tory of Omaha as a manufacturing city, and Seattle as a shipping center, forms the keynote of what may be ac complished within the next score of years. There are opportunities, in this land of opportunity, that attract and justify the expenditure of hundreds of millions to meet the growing needs of the country. The transportation facilities of a country are, and always have been, the true test of the nation's commercial development. Rome was the greatest road builder in the world In her day, and the supreme commercial power. Her highways, which are still the won der of modern engineers, represented the most advanced stage of the art of transportation as it was then known, and made possible the development of her territory. So strongly was this es sential feature recognized by her gov erning powers that with every territory subdued her first act was to commence the construction of roads to develop its transportation. From 1850 to 1900. the last year for which figures are available, the number of acres in improved farm lands in the United States increased from 113,000,000 to nearly 415,000,000, and the value of all farm property increased from less than $4,000,000,000 to more than $20,000,000,000. But for the railroads there could have been nothing approaching this marvel ous increase in the agricultural wealth of the country, and these figures, of course, take no account of the great fortunes that were built up in supply ing the demands of the people who pop ulated the lands which the railroads made available. Thousands of millions of dollars are needed by our great transcontinental railroads to bring this vast country to a point of development which it justly deserves. The railroads are doing their part, so let the legislatures do theirs. George Calvert in American Industries for October. Dirt Not Abandon Excursion Kates At -the meeting of the Western Passenger association in Chicago the proposal to abandon all less than 2 cent fares was not given final in dorsement, and the indications are that such a sweeping recommendation will not be made, on account of so many conflicting considerations.

Countess Lydia Rostoptchine of Russia, who is in this country on her first visit, chose a novel way to make certain she would have no trouble in reaching her destitution. In a letter to the Martha Washington hotel, engaging rooms, she enclosed a photograph of herself and directed the hotel management to give it to the porter, who was to meet the steamer. Mike Maher, one of the baggage handlers, was entrusted with the mission. When the steamship St. Louis docked Mike was one of the first to climb aboard. Armed with the photograph he made a thorough can vass of every femine countenance and had no trouble in locating the dis vass of everyfemininecountenaneeand highly pleased at the successful out come of her plan..

The bane of many men's existence Is premature grayness. The great trouble in the search for a restorer of color has been the seeming impos sibility of getting a preparation that is anything more than a mere dye the use of which any one can detect. At last, though, there is a real Hair Restorer. One that restores the color of youth and no one in the world, barber or specialist. can detect whether the restoration of color is due to nature or medication. Dr. JTott's Cuban Hair Restorer is the name of th3 great discovery that has brought the muchly hoped for re lief to men and women who are em barrassed by the appearance of be ing years and years older than they feel, and this because their hair is prematurely gray. For the first time Dr. Nott's Cuban Hair Restorer is for sale In Topeka and the limited supply which Mar shall Bros.' have on hand will no doubt be soon deplected by the great demands that this city will make upon it.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full dsy telegraph report of that (Treat news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur. Indications are that the great Pan ama canal will be completed within Six years' time ata total cost of $250, 000.000. Cheap Enough. t Surely Is Topeka becoming- a verit able "peaceful valley." that is if some ef the employes in the state house were not "seeing things" when they Doted a number of quail leisurely grubbing on the lawns around the eapltol. Think of It! There are now one hundred and sixty thousand acres of trees In central Kansas where it was thought at one time that trees would not grow. Great is Kansas In all ways, although there are a few of them which have not been sufficiently de veloped as yet.

Mrs. William Thaw seems to be doing all she can to keep her unfor tunate son, Harry, in an unbal anced mental state. She recently re turned from Europe and among the things she brought back for the no torious slayer of Stanford "White were 1,200 Egyptian cigarettes. An achievement worthy of more than passing notice Is the establish ment of wireless telegraphic com munication between San Francisco and Hawaii. The distance is more than two thousand miles. Perhaps It is not a dream to suggest that before many years it will be possible to circle the globe with wireless telegraphy. Among the men who have been re cently made citizens of the United States in the courts In New York is Archdlacan Malik Gabriel Javahr, who claims the distinction of being heir to the Jin e-'of Kurdistan, a provirice in Asiatic Turkey. If this gentleman ex pects to have any American chums, he'll certainly have to change his name. The Kansas farmers, at least those of them who have corn and most of them do, are in a merrier mood these days than usual and with good reason. The price they are getting for their corn now is considerably higher than that which generally prevails at this eason of the '-ear and the chances are that It will continue on the in crease. A man whose reckless speculative (eats bankrupted recently one of the largest brokerage firms lnNew York Is now out with an interview in which he is quoted as painting the stock xchange as a very wicked place that needs drastic reformation. And he proposes to take a hand in it. Good. For Isn't there an old adage to the effect that it takes a thief to catch a thief? News that Lieutenant Frank Taylor Evans did not fracture the rules and regulations of the navy to such an ex tent as to warrant his dismissal from the service may be set down as of the good variety. Ha seems to have many of the characteristics that made his father, "Fighting Bob." one of the most effective and skillful officers that has ever been connected with the navy of the United States. According to Walter Wellman, the analytical political expert -on the Chi cago Record-Herald, the distinct trend this year of the railroad employe vote and the labor vote toward the Demo cratic party is due to the hard times which have prevailed in various sec tions of the country during the past twelve months. But Mr. Wellman argues that despite these adverse ten dencies the odds are still In favor of Mr. Taft's success at the polls. eSru Reports are current in financial cir- cles in New York VttX the Rock Island-Frisco interests have patched up their quarrel with Mr. Harriman and that the latter is in a fair way to eventually gain control of these ex tensive railroad systems. If this is so Mr. Harriman will soon have to seek other railroad fields to conquer. There won't be much left in the way of rail roads in the United States that he does not control. Servla evidently has not worked diligently along the lines of preparing for war in times of peare. It is now stated that she would have declared war long ago against Austria-Hungary if she had had an adequate sup ply of powder and that alone Is now preventing her from entering on a fight. Maybe by the time the Servians are properly equipped for a struggle wiser counsel will have prevailed and there will be no necessity for a war. It's to be hoped that thing3 turn out this way for war under -any circum stances Is what General Sherman Jud It was. SOME BCLG.UUAN HISTORY. Much almost forgotten history is re called by the recent thrilling events In Europe, and the danger that hangs over her of a bloody and many-sided war. Within the memory of many of the older citizens are the days when the frightful Eulgarlan atrocities were re ported to the Britrsh foreign office by an American newspaper man, sent to inquire into the reports which were be ing received In London, but which. In those days, were not easy of verifica tion. All the Christian world was hor ror stricken by the frightful facts that Mr. MacGahan had to report to Lon don. That so little was done by the great civilized nations of the world to avenge the horrors of the wholesale as assinatlons in Bulgaria Is not to Chris tian credit. The public excitement In England was intense, and it is related by one historian that the public clamor was so great that the prime minister "was forced to maintain a strict neu trality," when it is inferred, his prefer ence and his agreements called upon him to defend Turkey despite the atroc ities. For Russia made the mistreatment of the Christians, their massacre and the unnamable cruelty practiced upon them by the Musselmans, the excuse for war. It must have been a spectacle for the intelligent world to see Russia push ing forward great armies of invasion to punish Turkey for the maltreat ment of Christians, armies of which the Czar himself was at the head, while the prime minister of England found himself forced by the clamor of the people "to maintain a strict neutrality." Russia's real motive, probably, was no more honorable than England's, be cause at the close of the war on tlm Balkan peninsula Russia took good care that her own territorial bounda ries were much enlarged. Desire to punish atrocities to Christians had been the pretext, actual conquest of de sired territory was the result. But the result of that war was still more far reaching. The war closed with the treaty of San Stefano, but the powers were not satisfied with its pro visions, and accepted Bismarck's invita tion to a congress at Berlin. It was in connection with this conference, which formulated the treaty of Berlin, now broken by both Bulgaria and Aus tria, that Lord Beaconsfleld did the un precedented thing of being himself the delegate from England to the confer ence. He doubtless felt that with the clever, not to say tricky; diplomats with whom he had to deal, it was unsafe to leave England's interests In less powerful and cunning hands than his own. It is Interesting to note In this con nection that the term "Jingo" as ap plied to a war party, originating In England and adopted here, was the outgrowth of the Balkan war, recalled by the near Eastern events of the past few days. Some Inglorious Milton, who might better have been mute, composed a song the refrain of which were the lines, so familiar to all; "We don't want to fight, but. by lingo, if we do, we've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money, too." This was sung in the theaters and music halls to the great excitement of the multitudes, and the name "Jingo" was seised upon to indicate the war party, and It has stuck. A NICE POINT. They have been having a queer controversy in a Massachusetts town, as the New Haven Register details it, and it is a matter which might tax the wisdom of Solomon to solve cor rectly and satisfactorily. It seems that the severe drought which pre vailed In that section had become a serious matter, and the pastors of the churches decided to hold a special meeting to pray for ram. One of the ministers went to a printer and in quired what would be the charge for one thousand hand-bills announcing the time and place of the meeting, and was told that the bills would be printed and if rain resulted from the prayers there would b no charge for the printing. These were what might be called the preliminaries of the case. The meeting was held as arranged, and on the next day a cloud passed over the town and a few drops of rain fell. Opinions differ as to the quantity that fell, one witness giving out that ten drops of water fell, and others vary ing as to the quantity, but all are will ing to testify that some drops were seen. Now the question comes up as to whether the printer should be paid for his work. He was to make no charge if there was rain immediately or soon after the prayers had been offered, and the matter to be decided is whether or not a few drops of water constitute a rain. One definition of rain given by the dictionary is rain drops falling to the earth, and In asmuch as some drops really fell. It may be claimed that this was a rain. A poet once sang that "little drops of water make the, mighty ocean," or words to that effect, and if that is true then may It not be true that lit tle drops constitute a rain? It is a nice question, and as the Yankees are proverbially close in their dealings each side of the controversy may be expected to contest. If the matter will only get Into the courts some learned disquisitions on the question may be reasonably expected. PROGRESS OP SOCIALISM. Tho shrieking, shouting crowd of red bandanna wavers that greeted the Socialistic presidential candidate, Mr. Deb?, on his arrival in New York not long ago and then packed to suffo cation the great Hippodrome and the American theater, where he made ad dresses, may have caused consider able uneasiness to the more conserva tive Inhabitants of that city. But if history shows anything it shows that by permitting such radicals as these to give free vocal vent to their ideas tho way .is paved for evolution instead ol revolution. France had a reign of terror be cause the proletariat could take all with no greater effort than was re quired to take a little. Germany, a trifle wiser than royal France, has given Its radicals- some opportunity for expression. Because of this it has seen the Socialist party grow in num bers at a tremendous rate, but at the same time it has seen that Socialist party more and more Inclined to mod erate its demands until a few days ago at the congress held in Nuremberg it divided Into two factions, one the irreconcllables, who put theory above practice, the other those who while holding to a, Socialist Ideal believe in working for immediate practical re forms through the governmental ma chinery now provided, Prophecy, of course, is dangerous business, or rather unsatisfactory, but it now seems probable that these mod erate Socialists are the Socialists with a future. Many of their views appeal to men who have held aloof because they had feared Socialist methods. Once reassured on this point it Is probable that a great part of the rad ical parties in Germany will proclaim themselves Socialists -and thereby in crease the parliamentary strength of the latter. This Is the way man progresses nor mally when his expanding energy has not been bottled up until It reaches the point of explosion.

In an effort to show in what poor con dition the property In question was kept, said: "The cockroaches in the kitchen were so large that three of them could have rolled a keg of beer up the alley." John Knowles, Irving six miles south of Atchison, tells this remarkable story: The hens about his place laid eight eggs on a pile of clover hay, In a warm place In the barn. The heat in the hay hatched the eggs yesterday, and the chickens are alive and kicking. Mr. Knowles says that so far as he can discover, no hen set on the eggs;, that the chicks were hatched by the heat in the hay.

KANSAS COMMENT TARDY APPRECIATION. The fame of George Washington has lived long, and no doubt his memor able work in founding the nation will last as long as the nation lasts. But he had a long time to wait for his monu ment. Many, men of seeming great ness are forgotten in less time. Even before his death there was talk of erecting a monument to him, but it amounted to nothing more. In 1800 congress decided to erect a memorial mausoleum to the founder of the coun try, and the consent of Mrs. Washing ton was asked to inter the general's re mains In the national capital, which request was granted. But congress finally failed to make the necessary ap propriation. Not until late in Septem ber 1833, was the first step taken which led directly to the great monument which stands as a nation's tribute to Its first president. In that year an or ganization was perfected to collect funds, and work for the construction of the monument. Not until 1848 was the cornerstone laid, and the work fairly begun. Later there were scandals, and the work was delayed. Congress came to the rescue with $200,000, and the work went on for awhile. Then came the civil war, and the monument stood through several years an unsightly, unfinished work. Finally, In 1876, con gress again came to the rescue with another $200,000 to complete the work and the monument was finally finished in 1884. The total cost was only $1,187, 000, which seems a trifling amount to quibble--over, la view of the way con gress now spends millions, and even billions. But this was not always the richest and most prosperous country In the world. Next year some definite ac tion is likely to be taken toward tha erection of a national memorial of some kind to Abraham Lincoln, but, once started. It Is unlikely it will undergo the vicissitudes and delays that marked the construction of the Washington monument. Atchison Globe. HOME INFLUENCE. "I am not responsible," observed Mrs. Milt Crevlston, of Manhattan, "for anything the old devil does." She had reference to her husband, who had Just been arrested for the murder of a student, and who later ended in unprofitable life by hanging himself in his dungeon. Much has been said in denunciation of Milt, but now that he is dead, and the brown leaves are heaped upon his grave by the chill autumn wind, it might be well to ask whether he wasn't driven to crime by home Influ ences? A man who is persistently al luded to as an old devil by the wife of his bosom, is pretty sure to become fretful in the course of time, his moral Instincts will be blunted, and he will eventually try to deserve the reputa tion that has been thrust upon him. If Mrs. Crevlston described him as an old devil to strangers, there is no saying what she would call him by the fireside and inglenook; and no man can stand that sort of thing very long without deteriorating.

He may bib popular in a certain way. but he doe not make history. There are- men? who can wait, who can bide their time, but they are not patient, they are only suppressed. Lawrence Journal. FROM OTHER PENS OUR CONSULAR SERVICE. In order to ascertain the estimation in which the present consular service is held and to secure suggestions as to how it might be improved, the Ameri can Exporter recently sent to manu facturers and exporters a circular let ter of inquiry. Three hundred and forty-nine replies were received. Of these the majority were unsatisfac tory, being deficient in frankness or else ignoring the vital points. Only two out of the whole number profess to be satisfied with the present ar rangements,, while 101 replies state that the consular service should be recruited from men who have had pre vious experience, and 20 correspond ents advise the selection of employes or principals of export commission houses. That the service can be suc cessfully recruited from the sources indicated is quite doubtful, inasmuch as the pay is not sufficient to Induce experienced men to give up their busi ness in order to engage in the new field. A better plan Is that which the government is now putting into opera tion, and which aims at selecting by an examination covering an appro priate line of subjects the men best fitted for consular duties. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. MORE WHEELS TURNING. At the end of last April there were 41 3. 60S idle freie-ht cars on the rail roads of the United States. That means enough to make lu.uuu trains. it would have been possible to stretch a solid line of unused cars from New York to San Francisco. In May these Idle cars were brought Into use at the rate of about 1.000 a dav. in June their number was cut down about 2.500 daily. The rate of decrease in the stock of unused cars was only about 160 a day in July, but In August these cars went back to work at the rate of 2,000 a day. in round figures. In the first half of September the cutting down of the accumulation of freight cars on sidings and in railroad yards was no less than 3,500 a day. Between September 2 and September 16 the decrease was 50.562. A month and a half more of such improvement in railroad business would wipe out practically the entire surplus of cars. After two months of such changes there would be a shortage, once more, as there was before the panic. This is extremely important proof -of better times. Cleveland Leader.- SUPPRESSING THIRD DEGREE. Judge Johnson of Media, has done a proper thing in trying to suppress the "third degree" as used by the po lice all over the country. As is well known, officers of the law are accus tomed to "sweat" a prisoner in order to make him confess. Within normal limits this is well enough, but in some Instances It Is made the excuse for persecution and inhuman treatment. The constitution of the United States provides that no man shall be compelled to testify against himself. The effort to make a man do so un der duress Is unlawful and should be stopped. It is a great temptation to officers of the law, when they know they have a criminal in their posses slon, to make him' confess If -possible and thus save a long and expensive which are entirely too common In trial; but the system Is open to abuses these days. Philadelphia Inquirer. DANGER IN OLD SAWS. When Percy Arthur Dngglns Was a boy, his Uncle Scruggins Gave Percy lots of good advice how thoughtful uncles are! He'd say. with faith unshaken. "If you want to get the bacon Then keep this thought before you: Hitch your wagon to a. star.' The years came on and vanished. And the good advice was banished From Percy's mind completely how care less youngsters be! when Fortune came, he'd miss it. Why to be much more explicit v He frequent had to miss a meal, ana often two or three! He failed beyond defining! Oftentimes his stomach lining Would flap against his vertebrae and make a doleful sound! Then, sudden, something caught him And the Duggins boy bethought him Of what his uncle told him when he left to roam around! Then Percy straight, or stralghter, Got a Job as aviator. And sailed the skies empyreal as grace ful as a hen. And chuckled soft and lowly. As his airship soared slowly. And only hoped to goodness Uncle Scrug Could see him then! Alas, alack, poor Yorick! Percy's fight was meteoric. And down, instead of upward, as such soarings often are! And quoth the battered Dugglna As he softly damned one Scruggins: That's what I get for tryin" to hitch my wagon to a star!" John D. Wells. In Buffalo News. Lots Puzzles Science. Mrs. Harry Cohn's brain has been dead for sixty hours. This morning it came to life again and the woman who had been lying in a deathlike coma sat up and smiled Into her husband's eyes and spoke his name. Mrs. Cohn was thrown from her horse last Tuesday. She fell against the street curb and struck her head a frightful blow. They carried her home unconscious and for sixty hours she lay white and still, without a sign of life or return ing consciousness. Her mother and father and William Hahn, her broth er, watched beside her every minute of the sixty awful hours that they have passed since the accident. "My daughter's husband. Dr. Cohn, was In Trinidad when the accident occurred," said Mrs. Hahn today. "We thought every hour, would see a change for the better, and so we did n't telegraph until last night. He caught the first train out of Trini dad. We knew he was coming, but we dreaded to hear him come up the steps. My daughter hadn't spoken or moved, and we were afraid she would never speak or move again. "The instant the husband came into i the room my daughter trembled a lit tle, sighed, opened her eyes and spoke her husband's name. Wasn't it strange? How do you suppose she knew who it was that came into the room. She hadn't known any of us since she was hurt. The physician in charge of the case said that there Is every chance that Mrs. Cohn will soon recover. There seems to be no actual fracture of the skull, he declares, and her unconscious condition was undoubtedly due to ner vous shock, but the physician, skill ful though he is, does not answer when the sick woman's mother asks him where her daughter's mind was for sixty hours and what explanation his science can give of the fact that the mere presence of her husband could call her back from the strange land of silence, when all the medical skill in Denver could not move her to the quiver of art eyelash. Is love stronger than death? And will the human heart speak when the brain is dumb? The doctor says he does not know. Denver Post. Carves Portraits on Pocket Piece. Elmer Burkett, of Wayne, Pa., re turned on the Lusitania, of the Cunard line yesterday, bringing with him an interesting souvenir, which he has carried for fifteen years. Mr. Burkett is a wealthy coal operator, and has traveled extensively, meeting many persons of worldwide promi nence. In his pocket he Invariably carries a small piece of granite, which he found years ago on his property. Be ing an amateur sculptor, he has worked on the face of the stone the features of persons of prominence he has met, until now there are fifty-four heads given in bas-relief on the granite. Kings, emperors, queens, noblemen, authors and statesmen adorn the rock, and Mr. Burkett is now hoping that he will meet Mr. Bryan, whose face he wishes to engrave on his souvenir in Juxtaposition to that of Judge Taft, whom he met and engraved a years ago while in Europe. New York Herald. One Doctor's Good Guess. Doctors, like poets, burglars and other artists, have their intuitions. A doctor whom I knew is one of these Sapient ones. He prides himself on his snapshot diagnosis. Show him a patient, and he knows what's the mat ter the moment he claps an eye on him. The other day a patient came in with a tired-feeling story. Doc lis tened with impatience while the man told his symptoms. "Yes, yes!" he Interrupted. "I see, I see! The trouble with you is that you don't get enough outdoor exer cise. What you want to do Is," etc. It turned out that the patient was a letter carrier. New York Telegraph. The Bar on Wheels. Nowadays in the big hotels of this town that are constantly Introducing Innovations for the amusement or the comfort of their guests you don't have to wait, for a drink -until the waiter travels all the way to the bar and back. The newest Institution is the portable bar, a stand on rollers, which the waiter will wheel up to your table. There are several brands of Scotch, Irish, and rye whiskies, brandies, 1I--quors and light wines, from which you may make a selection. Usually the bar on wheels holds all the necessaries for making of a cocktail. Hotel managers say that the dirigible bar Is decidedly popular with the people who like to see exactly what they are getting when they order a drink and with folk who have a hurry-up thirst. New York Sun. Proxy Pilgrims. There are men who make their liv ing by being pilgrims by performing, over and over again, the 'difficult pil grimage to Mecca. These wanderers are called proxy pilgrims. No Mohammedan, no matter how good his life, can be sure of going to heaven unless he makes the long pil grimage. But the long pilgrimage takes time and money. Hence a priest discovered that it could equally well be made by proxy. And now from Constantinople, from Cairo, from Bag dad and from Jeddah the caravans to Mecca are mostly made up of proxies. A pilgrim can proxy for more than one person for a dozen If he likes. A caravan of 1,000 persons may act ually represent by proxy 50,000 de vout pilgrims. New York Press. THE E VENING STOR Y "The Dos; His Day." (By Troy Allison.) Young Conway Jabbed the oars into the water viciously. "If I can't have what I want." he said sullenly, "I'll take what I can get. I'll ask her tonight." Little Miss Pennell held on to the boat with both hands and gurgled de lightedly. "What a humble, doglike disposition Is yours, Robert," she Bald admiring ly. "I'm sure she will take you. She has been throwing herself at your head for six weeks." "Thank heaven women can never throw straight," he growled sullenly. "Seems to me she has done very well," said Miss Pennell flippantly. "If you ask her tonight she surely will have achieved her aim. But I can't say that you look a willing victim. That growl of yours was perhaps in accordance with your newly acquired doglike humility but one couldn't ex actly call It a yap of joy. Couldn't you force one little ecstatic bark. Bobbie, my child she suggested coaxingly. "I wonder why -on earth I like you. I've never been able to understand," he pulled the boat up to the sand bank and held It while she stepped ashore. "Am sorry I'm so unaccountably fascinating." She shook the wrinkles from her ruffled skirts airily, and started to in vestigate the one deserted hut that graced the tiny island of sand and rushes. "Upon my soul It's a mystery." He took their lunch basket from the boat and followed moodily. "You have spoiled your lovely meta phor dogs have no souls." "Neither so some philosopher has argued have women," he retorted. "That philosopher had probably Just been turned down emphatically by the lady he wrote about. But e'en tho' soulless, I have an appetite. Would you mind if we unpacked the basket and ate right here, and now?" Conway set the basket on the sand and took out his pipe, while she spread the napkins. "I don't want anything have no appetite," he puffed his briarwood vigorously, "But, Robert! You must brace the inner man! Don't you remember you have an ordeal before you tonight? I should think it would take some nerve to propose to Miss Stubbs. She's so er almost fat," apologetically, "that one would have to work his Imagina tion overtime to say to her the things that the heroine of a romance Is sup posed to relish." "I never did like skinny women," scathingly. She hastily swallowed her bit of sandwich. "If you want to call me little or petite, or anything decently polite," her eyes were flashing, "I don't object to you expressing your opinion but I won't listen to anything so rude as 'skinny!' She shook the crumbs from her lap and walked toward the water's edge. "Oh, Robert the boat's untied!" she walled. "Thunder!" said Conway, springing to his feet. They watched it helplessly as It drifted. The girl at last sat down de jectedly. "I'l not get back, in time to dress for the dance." "You'll be lucky If any one comes by in time to take us back tonight at all." he said forebodingly. "In all my twenty-two years Pve never met with such vexation." She dug the sand into holes with the heel of her small tan shoe. "You at least have some cause for gratitude. It's not everybody that achieves such a ripe old age by calmly peaceful paths." Little Miss Pennell eyed him miser ably. "But it will soon be getting dark, Robert and I am afraid out here all alone." "Seems that I should count for something in the way of company," with slightly more amiability. "Oh, you!" she returned gloomily. "But you will be so bad tempered because of Miss Stubbs. You were going to have a tete-a-tete with her tonight, you know." "That's all over now," he sighed. "Over? Can't you ask her tomor row?" He threw a pebble far out into the water and waited to see it splash. "I'm going to ask you again," he said slow ly, "and you will have to consider it this time to keep those old cats at the hotel from saying things." She drew a quick breath and her eyes were mutinous. "Let them talk they- have to talk about something. I certainly shall not let their silly clatter force me into matrimony." "But, Betty I hate for they to say things. And I'm not a bad chap" "I know you're not." said Miss Pen nell, fast becoming more excited and angry, "but they can talk and talk! I Intended marrying you all along but I won't be forced into it." "What!" shouted Conway so loudly that a lone bird perched on a nearby grass stalk flapped its wings hurriedly. She saw her false step, and tried to retrieve. "I meant perhaps." "No you don't renig, he said hap pily. The shadows grew longer he look ed at his watch In the fading light. "Too bad, but I must take you back in time for you to dress for the dance." "How?" incredulously. He waived her doubts aside "with an airy gesture.. "The hero of this ro mance knows how to relieve the hero ine in distress, mv lovely lady.- See that hut?" dramatically.- "Well, there are four canoes sheltered in It." Little Miss Pennell dimpled appre ciatively. "You, dear," she -said. (Copyright. 1908, by Associated Liter ary Press.) m V Balloon Laws Needed. Recently the city of Kissimee, Fla.. provoked a glad and general smile by promulgation of sundry and certain laws to regulate the speed of balloons and airships, and the general conduct of those who navigate the atmospheric main. The consensus of editorial opinion from Maine to Mexico was that such laws would hot be needed for many years to come, and brilliant para graphers had a whole lot of fun at the expense of the Florida solons and their enactments. The Kissimee city fath ers have held their peace under Are. and, behold. In a few short weeks comes justification of their wisdom and evidence that even more stringent laws will be needed, and that soon. A Gotham aeronaut had the misfor tune to alight in a Hoboken garden. Being a skillful pilot, he effected his landing with no injury to the trees or vegetables, but an unlooked-for complication has led to a suit against him for damages nevertheless, and legal wiseacres are all at sea. We are familiar with the sudden appearance of a crowd whenever an automobile breaks down, the interest with which they gather close about the disabled machine and the Ingenious disinterestedness with which they proffer advice. Well, this all applies to the balloon, only more so. Thus, when the Gotham balloonist's Inten tion of alighting became apparent, several hundreds of Hoboken's well meaning citizens made haste to the scene, anxious, no doubt, to be of as sistance. They knocked down fences, tram pled plants and vegetables into the ground, uprooted shrubs, and Injured young trees past all recovery. 'The owner of the garden contends that the Gotham balloonist was to blame for all this damage, while he Insists that he could not possibly have prevented the neighborhood Incursion and the accompanying agricultural disaster. v Here is an Interesting question, which the Journal begs respectfully to suggest as a substitute for debating purposes for some of tne time-honored problems usually dealt with.

IUSFLiEOTIONS OF A BACHELOR. I From the New York Press. When a woman makes up her mind to marry a man he could escape by dying. There is nothing more uncomfort able than being truthful In practice as well as principle. Where a woman is smart is to fol low a man's Judgment to flatter him when she knows it is wrong. A man can think he is having the grandest time in the world doing something he would know anybody else was a fool for doing. There's nothing makes a man so proud of himself as to think he has some sort of disease unless it inter feres with his eating and drinking.

There was never such a display of pictures shown in Kansas before. The masterpieces of the great photographers of the country are there. Detroit, New York city, St. Louis, Columbus. Ohio, and even for eign photographers have pictures In the exhibits, but strange as ii may seem, the finest picture of them all, the prize winner and par excellence of the studio, was made by E. E. Doty, a photographer In the little town of Belding. Mich., a place of less than 500 population. The picture repre- sf naa a lady or the Duchess ot Devon shire type and dress and it reoembles a fine oil painting so closely that only an expert could distinguish tne differ ence. Even the texture of the canvas has been reproduced In the back ground of this wonderful photograph. The Bhotographers of Kansas asso ciation was organized In 1894. so this is the fourteenth annual convention. CVF. Squires of Lawrence is president and Max Wolff of Manhattan is the secretary. The sessions will continue here until Friday evening. The pro Bring lil!

A most interesting and In structive half day can be spent in the Auditorium this week among the treasures of the great photograph studios of the country. SMOOTH FRENCH BURGLAR. Steals Valuable Collection ot Me- dallions From Americans. Paris, Oct. 13. The apartment in the Champs Elysees occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Hart O. Berg was entered by burglars while Mr. and Mrs. Berg were absent at Le Mans watching Wilbur Wright's aeroplane experi ments, and a valuable collection of medallions stolen. Mr. Berg Is the Wright .brothers European business manager. DIED OF BROKEN HEART. Loss of His Wife Causes Ferdlnal Gottschalk to Pine Away. Los Angeles, Oct. 13. Ferdlnal Gottschalk, for seventeen years a member of St. Louis city council and for fifty years in the service of Mis souri, died here yesterday of a broken heart. Two weeks ago his wife, to whom he was married 69 years ago, passed away and since that time Gottschalk, just entering on his nine tieth year, steadily declined without apparent reason, dying in possession of all his faculties. o)f?fo) o) c n) Large Quantity of Liquor Is Confiscated. THEY RIDE IN A HACK. Women Ofcj acted to Transporta tion In Patrol Wagon. Solution of Horse Blanket Thefts Is Secured. And still another raid to the credit of the police force. Sensations are ap pearing daily at the police station and when the patrol wagon draws up filled with beer, opium outfits, and crimi-l nals the happening is passed up as a regular routine of work. Last night Chief Eaton's blue coated braves and "fly cops" made a little pleasure trip to North Topeka, 121 West Railroad street, where they cleaned out one of the worst places in the city. The raid was on the home of old Ben Jordan who has occupied space in the newspapers for 20 years. He was sick in bed at the time of the capture but his wife, Mrs. Bennle Jordan, and daughter. May Belle, were having the time of their lives entertaining gentle men friends and passing over the beer and whisky. The police force composed of Officers Sauls, Hutton, Hopkins and Fribance (all "fly cops") surrounded the house and kept a close watch on every door. Then Hopkins who was at the front door started in the house. The crowd stampeded to the rear door at once and met Hutton and Sauls. Screaming they made for the side door but here they met Fribance, the blue-eyed English man, who Is getting to be a terror in the "bottoms. As a last chance tney made for the front door again and Al Hopkins, who is known from the Rock Island roundhouse to the Three Birdges, caught May Belle in his arms and held her tight for the sake of the law. Hutton and Sauls, whose names are always connected together in raids and clever detective work, broke in the back door and took possession of the liquors and searched the house. Old Ben Jordan was found up stairs sick in bed and his wife insisted that the beer and whisky was kept for the purpose of curing the husband of his awful sickness. Jord'on must have had a long sick spell before him because there was enough liquor in the house to cure or kill a hundred men. When the officers- had gathered the booty together and' piled it in the wagon they attempted to pile the two women In after their possessions but they fought like wildcats, saying that they would pay their fare In a hack and ride up in that manner. Officer Fri bance was given the honor of riding in the glass buggy with the two women and the patrol wagon- came along be hind carrying the whisky and the sol diers. The house has been held in suspic ion for a long time and an injunction was brought against it yesterday. May Belle Jordan, the daughter, has been to see Mrs. Thorpe before. A big bail was placed on them; Bndthey will re ceive a severe trial.''1 1 A wandering derelict on- the sea of society was washed .up on the snores of Eaton last night "during a terrible storm from the Filth and Jackson channel and today he is high and dry Derched upon a rock pile. George Campbell was arrested last night for vagrancy and he paid out nis nne Dy working on the rock pile. The Horse Blanket Thief associa tion organized for the systematic stealing of horse blankets, Duggy whips, and any articles happening to be in a standing carriage, sometimes for the purpose of stealing the horse and buggies themselves, is growing in strength and today' the police re ceived more complaints from people who have left their carriages standing near the curbing for but a few mm utes at a time. It will soon be neceS' sary for people to not only take their Bible in church with them but carry in their buggy whips, lap robes, horse blankets and oil stoves. All of the ornaments and detachable parts of an automobile will have to be taken in the vestibule and then the thieves would Jump in the machine and drive it away. The police have solved the prob lem. They say that the stealing is not for the getting of money at the pawn shops or second hand stores for the material, but for comfort, in the homes of the poor and desolate. Not long ago the police made a raid on a house in the bottoms and every bed in the house was covered with a thick horse blanket or a lap robe. The poor have economized on the use of blankets and quilts in the winter and they make a raid on carriages as C K V Manhattan Shirts offer the best of a new series of pat terns $1.50 to $2.50 Eagle Shirts, $1.50 values $1.00 Perrins Gloves at.. ....$1.50 Big Values Palace Special Gloves -silk lined if you wish $1 and $1.50 soon as the cold weather sets in. This same complaint came to the police last year and they could not figure out what the thieves did with the stolen articles.' '.Houses and susDects will be watched carefully and those who leave their carriage standing in the streets should station a watch or sentinel of some kind. Regardless of the fact that that reliable old sign is still standing on the state house grounds,, it is being violated every day and this morning two men were arrested Dennes Ferguson and John Greening. They were active members of the car-fare saving brigade or the street car boy cotters and were fined five dollars apiece in police court. They paid their fine or 100 rides on a street car. Jailer Smith is joining the police humorists and today he got off one of the best in the history of the or ganization. A prisoner was about to be taken over to the court house and wanted his watch. Jailer Smith re minded him that he was needed on the rock pile a few days longer before he could leave the j:ity. The prisoner still Insisted on his watch and with a twinkle in his eye- the old Jailer said: "Don't you worry about time. When you come back from the court house we will furnish you with all the time you want." The prisoner saw the Joke and laughed. Likewise others. While standing on the platform in front of the Rock Island depot last evening one of the detectives heard a singing near his left ear and it was quickly followed by a crash of a huge rock against a nearby car. The detec tive looked around for the cause of the stray missile and he spied a colored boy speeding up the street with the sparker and throttle as far as they would notch. Officer Bryant happened to be whirling his club in the vicinity of the foot race and he stopped the head, man with an order from his star ridden throat. The boy gave his name as Ollie Burns and he claims he is a porter by trade but a dangerous youth by laziness. He was locked up in the Tower of Eaton un der the charge of "assault" and he will tell his troubles to the judge to day. He is only seventeen years old and was dressed In rah-rah clothes. George Bradshaw was not able to go on a spree Saturday night on ac count of his wife's relatives visiting him so he postponed it until last night and he is now sleeping it off under the care of the police. He has five dol lars to pay his fine as soon as he can walk home unaided.. Offlcere Perbey found him. A. K. Van Hook, a real estate dealer in the Columbian building, reports the loss of a big expensive overcoat. It was stolen from him at the office Mon day afternoon and the police have a good description of it. Bob Palmer, the patrol driver, has outgrown his Old quarters in the sec ond story of the police station and, as the walls are weakening, he will soon occupy a newly-built room on the first floor and near the foundation. Mrs. Thorpe, the police matron, is not quite as heavy as Mr. Palmer and sho RATIONAL CURE FOB ECZEMA Xo More Dosing the Stomach Cure Uio Skin Hi rough the Skin. When you have a" scratch on your hand you wash it out and cleanse it and then the skin cures itself. Tou do not take blood medicine to cure a festered wound. The best skin specialists today are agreed that the only way to cure the skfn is through the skin. The fact that eczema is a skin dis ease and not a blood disease is evident from statistics which' show that near ly all eczema sufferers are perfectly healthy in a If other ways except as to their skin. If the eczema patients were really suffering from an inward malady, the entire body and not the skin would be diseased. Tou can prove immediately the re-; lief of a true skin cure by usins oil of wintergreen as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription. This liquid attacks the disease germs, numbing them while building up the healthy tissue of the skin. We i have now handled this meritorious and thoroughly scientino remedy for so long and have seen Its reliable result so many times that we freely express our confidence. George W.

This idea of Mrs, Thorpe occu pying the police station at nights is a new one and it is through her own wishes that the plan was made. She says she can take much better case of the girls if she sleeps in the build ing at night. The State Journal said last night that F. M. Steves, the printer, was arrested for riding a bicycle on the State House grounds.' P. M. Steves is in Wisconsin and he is 65 years of age. The informa tion was taken from the police docket and it seems that the younger son of Mr. Steves, who was arrested, gave the wrong name. Mr. Steves will be sur prised to hear that he was arrested when he reads that article in Wiscon sin, but it is the police force who are doing the arresting and not the State Journal. The brother-in-law of John Blue, who has been Judged insane and was found in HiggJps, Texas, wandering around without anything to do but complain of terrible men being after him, left today for Higgins, where he will bring his brother back to Topeka and the asylum. Blue has been in bad condition for a number of years and has put many a neighborhood in fear. William Lewis, a barber in the Ches terfield," was found on Kansas avenue last night with hia face all cut up and in an unconscious, condition. He had not been drinking and did not know what happened to him. He had no money or valuables on his person. Thla is the "third case of this kind in the last- week and there is undoubtedly a gang of thugs of some kind working over the city. They have left three men in, serious condition. Sergeant Ross, who had his hand lanced for a felon, is feeling a littic better, but not enough to be able to report tor duty. Blood poison has set In and his hand is still in a dangerouj condition. Frank Summers, detective, has recovered from his three weeks' sickness sufficiently to report at the of fice and answer telephone calls, but he is unable to get out on the street. Tha force needs these two men badly. WHITE SX.AVE TRAFFIC. Crusade Against It Suffers by Escape of Two Kotcd Offenders. Chicago, Oct. IS. That the great crusade that the federal government, through the district attorney's office, is waging against the "white slave" traffic has suffered a defeat in Its most important case was discovered yester day when it was learned that Alphonse and Eva DuFour, two of the principal offenders indicted last July, had slip ped through the net of the law and escaped to France. They were held in prison for some time because they were unable to fur nish the bail, which was fixed at $25, 000 for each of them. In August, however, they succeeded in -having the amount reduced to $25,000 for both of them. This amount was turned over to the government in cash and prop erty, and they were released. They are now In France. The United States has no extradition treaty with France coverine the class of offense with which they are charged. Proceedings leading to the for feiture of their bonds will be started before Judge Landis today. The court will set a day for their trial and If they do not appear at that time their bond will be forfeited. Elijah N. Zo- C AN you use 'the f best hat sold at $3.00?

The DuFours were the first "white slavers" Indicted by the federal grand Jury last July. More than thirty in dictments were found against them on July 1, within 24 hours after the statute on which the indictments were fcund went into effect. Their casea were deemed highly important and the federal attorneys fought bitterly any attempt to reduce their bail. They were guilty of several offenses and the government announced that it would ask for the maximum sentence of five years In the penitentiary and $5,000 fine for each offense. They were pro prietors of a resort at 2021 Armour avenue. TUBERCULOSIS EXHIBIT. Will Be Housed In Gotham If Neces sary Funds Cun Be Raised. New York. Oct.1 IS.

A representative of the charity or ganization society, who was sent to Washington to obtain the consent of representatives of foreign government to the proposal to send their exhibit to this city, reported over the long dis tance telephone last night that Ger many and Russia had been the first to volunteer to send their exhibits to New York.

Bolinger, raTS; IMPORTANT CASES. V. S. Supreme Court Opens With a Heavy Docket. Washington. Oct. 13. Beginning at 12 o'clock today the call of the docket into the supreme court of the United States for the 1908-09 term was be gun. Among the matters of import ance, the railroad questions will come up, and of these the appeal from the decision of the United States circuit court for the easern distrlc of Penn sylvania on the "commodities" clause of the Interstate commerce law as affecting the anthracite coal roads will probably occupy first place with the public. An important case near the head of the call is that of the Waters Pierce Oil company, of St. Louis. This Is an appeal by the company from the decision of the Texas state courts ousting the company from do ing business in that state and impos ing a fine of over $1,600,000 against it on the charge of violation of the anti-trust laws of the commonwealth. The Waters-Pierce company Is Iden tified with the Standard Oil company, and on that account, as well as on account of the fact that Senator Bailey has been charged with giving assistance to the company in its con troversy, the suit has attracted much attention. A case recently docketed will test the validity of the Haskell bank guar anty law of Oklahoma, and another, instituted by one of the riegro soldiers discharged on account of the Browns villa riot, will deal with the right of the president to summarily dismiss an enlisted man before the expiration of his term. Still another case deals with New York city's 80-cent gas law, the constitutionality of which is at tacked, and another is Intended to test the applicability of the New York game laws to game shipped from abroad. There are several cases deal-: Ing with alleged violations In Colo rado of the public land law. In con nection with which a number of men of prominence are being criminally prosecuted. These cases were dis missed by Judge Lewis, of the federal court In Colorado, but the govern ment appealed and. la preparing for a thorough presentation of them. Two other Important cases which the court will hear early in the term, deal, one with the right of the governor of Porto Rico to make requisition as a territory on the governor of a state for the return of a fugitive from Jus tice, and the other with the regular ity of the proceedings of the New York courts against Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer, now serving a life sen tence on the charge of murdering Mil lionaire William Marsh Rice. A num ber of cases affecting irrigation and dealing with the right of corporations to divert water In the face of protests from riparian holders also hold places on the docket. BIG LUMBER MILL BURNS.

The argu ments in the Chicago Ranch company land fraud trial were begun this morn ing. The defense rested last night after Frederick S. Baird, a Chicago lawyer who is at the head of syndi cate, whose members entered the claims and have been improving the lands within the Chicago ranch en closure in Dawes county. Nebraska, had explained the origin and aims of the concern. Mr. Baird said the entries were all made In good faith and the entrymen formed a company for mutual aid and protection in making the necessary Improvements.

Bottom Out of Full Dinner Pall, He Says. HEPLIES TO HUGHES. Calls Attention to His Teto of Two Cent Fare. Special Train Chartered by Bryan Volunteers. Emerson, Neb., Oct. 13,-Following the trail of Mr. Taft and Governor Hughes through Nebraska, W. J. Bryan Is addressing large audiences and en deavoring to undermine any good ef fect which their visits might have ac complished. The route of travel Is through a farming country and the Democratic candidate is telling the farmers that he is anxious to secure a Democratic house of representatives in order that remedial legislation may be secured. My ambition to be president," he said, at Pender, "Is not an ambition simply to hold that office, enjoy its honors or distribute the patronage con nected with it. It Is to -assist in se curing legislation that I think the coun try needs. It is to secure the remedies that I have been advocating for a long while." Mr Bryan railed into Governor Hughes because of his criticism regard ing the trust plank of the Democratic platform and held him up as the enemy of the two cent a mile railway fares, while all over this western country Republican governors signed bills pro viding for such a rate." Mr. Taft's at titude wilh respect to publicity of cam paign contributions was vehemently denounced. No little amusement was created at Pender when an old man in the audience who said he was a Pro hibition Kepublican interrupted Mr. Bryan and declared that "We dont care where the money comes from. The candidate retorted that seemed to be the policy of the Kepublican party. Tekamah, Neb., Oct. 13. In a series of speeches made on the first day of his campaign in Nebraska which will end Thursday night, Wiliiam J. Bryan appealed directly for the farming and laboring vote on the ground that he is the logical candidate of the producer and wage earner. He opened this line with his first speech at Blair and has continued it throughout the day. The candidate also appealed for votes for the state ticket. In his remarks at Blair Mr. Bryan said he wished to answer one argu ment made in the west by Mr. Taft and Republican speakers to the farm ers. "They tell the farmers," he said, "that because they have had good crops and good prices they ought to vote the Republican ticket. If you will remember back eight years ago they were talking to the laboring man about the full dinner pail and every where you went you saw pictures of the full dinner pail and they told the laboring man that Just as long as they had enough to eat they ought not to think." He declared the argument was not being used now because the bottom had dropped out of the pail and it was empty. He told his hearers that the Demo cratic party this year was being sup ported by a larger number of laboring men than for 40 years, and he said their disappointment has been embit tered by the fact that they were de ceived eight years ago. But now it Is the full farm basket and they are pre suming on your Ignorance as they did on the laboring man's ignorance and they tell ihe farmer that because the basket Is full he ought not to think. He ridiculed the Republicans for, as he said, taking credit for good crops, sunshine, fertility of the soil and for rains. It Is a sacrilege, he said, for the Republicans to claim credit for the bounties of the Almighty and every farmer knows that. There was not, he said, a single policy that the Republi can policy stood for that was good for the American farmer. At Tekamah, Mr. Bryan again re ferred to the speeches of Governor Hughes, and said "that this man Hughes, who comes out here and tells you what you ought to do is the same man who vetoed the 2-cent fare bill in his own state." He employed much the fame argu ment regarding Governor Hughes that ho used yesterday in his speech to the students of the Nebraska uni versity. The train in which the Democratic candidate in traveling -was especially chartered by the Bryan volunteers and left Omaha at 8 o'clock this morning. On board are all the fusion candidates for the state offices and such other Nebraskans as care to pay their pro rata of the cost of the train. Should the program mapped out for the day bo strictly followed Mr. Bryan will have delivered thirty speeches before he retires for the night at Wahoo. UNION PACIFIC MEETING. X. II.

Yet Emit Ascher Fears It Will Dis turb Happiness If Taken. f Chicago, Oct. 13.--Heir to a fortune of more than a million dollars, but uncertain if he really can afford to accept the heritage on account of the present happiness tf his family, is the strange position: of Emll Ascher, who lives contentedly with his wife and eight children ii a Prairie avenue flat. i i In 1888 Jooseph Ascher, an uncle, died in London. He was born in Ger many, but had left his brother, the father of Emif Ascher and Went to seek his fortune in- Australia, There his brother lost track of him. It de velops now that Joseph Ascher grew wealthy -and went -o live in London, where he died suddenly, leaving neither will nor clew to 'his relatives. Six months ago Mrs. Ascher re ceived a letter from ''a friend of hers in Germany near the placee where she was born, saying that, a family named Ascher had fallen heir to a large for tune and that the names of the mem bers of the family were wanted by a London .law Arm. Mrs. Ascher wrote to a cousin of hers, Sol Buokofsei, a lawyer of Berlin, asking him to look into the matter. After several com munications Mrs. Ascher received a letter from her cousin yesterday in which it was stated that her husband was certain to share to the extent of at least a million In the Joseph Ascher estate. Falling heir to a million, however; did not seem to produce the thrill in Mrs. Ascher or her family that might be expected in these commercial times. She found cause for displeasure instead of joy and feared that so much money in her family might disrupt the prevailing genuine happiness in her littlo fireside. Mr. Ascher Is 60 years old and is contented that he has raised a family of eight children, the oldest of whom is 80 and the youngest sixteen. In addition, he has a business which affords a comfortable Income. SERVICE IN BALKANS. Michael Zooanovltch Organizing Amer ican Volunteer Army. New Tork, Oct. 13. Michael Zocano vitch's "army" of Servla-American vol unteers is slowly being organized. With Captain Lesckavac, Sergeant Sharke Radrejevltch and other patriots, he is enlisting fellow countrymen for service in the Balkans, in the event of Servia going to war with the Austro-Hun-garian. empire. The recruits now num ber 12' ranging in age from 18 to 35 years. Zocanovitch says that the min ute King Peter calls for troops the "army" will sail on the first steamer leaving New York for an Italian port. "In case of war we are all going," said Capt. Lesckovac, "and if the state department at Washington tries to stop us at the behest of Austria on the ground that we are armed belligerents en route from a friendly country to fight a power friendly to that country, we will simply register on the steam ship passage books as 'persons off to visit relatives in Servia' and then they will have to let us go. "In the event of war we expect to sail for Italy, landing either at Naples or Genoa. There we will take passage for a Turkish port and then proceed overland to Belgrade, where we will put ourselves at the disposal of our fatherland." Captain Lesckovac says that volun teers are being gathered in Pittsburg and Chicago also. Each volunteer, he says, will pay his own way to Italy and the rest of his fare will be paid by the Servian government. They have al ready notified the ruler of Servia that they are prepared to leave on a mo ment's notice. Servians in ClUcago Eager. Chicago, Oct. 13.

Hoch took ft hard and decisive fall out of Henderson Mar tin's statement today, and denied ab solutely that his "keynote" speech had been submitted to W. R. Stubbs for revision, or that Mr. Stubbs had in turn submitted It for blue penciling to the railroad attorneys and representa tive of the breweries. It- was also cited that Henderson Martin's statement was false in its- quotation of Carr Taylor where It said: "Carr. Taylor says that only 3,000 of this money was used in the Reno coun ty campaign. This Is probably true. A $2,000 leak under the circumstances ought not to surprise anyone." Carr Taylor made no such assertion; was not quoted as having made such an as sertion, and denied absolutely that any part of the alleged Missouri Pacific con tribution had been used in Reno coun ty. Governor Hoch said in discussing Chairman Martin's proclamation: "I see that Mr. Martin is careful to throw the blame for this alleged affair upon W. R. Stubbs. I presume for the pur nose of snaring my feelings because I am hia fellow townsman. For the same reason I will say that Mr. Martin has been misinformed in regard to the statements which he makes. "My Marlon speech was prepared with great care. I took a good deal of pride in that speech, and am willing to stand by every statement which I made in it. When my friends came to see me at Marion about political mat ters, I discussed the speech with them, as I would discuss any other matter af fecting the policy of the party. I read extracts from the speech to many peo- pie. I may have read extracts of it to Mr. Stubbs. So far as I know, Mr. Stubbs did not have a copy of that sneech before it was delivered, nor did anyone else. It is my recollection that there was only one copy of it in ex istence, and I had that. "As to the suggestion of Mr. Martin that I submitted this speech to the examination of Mr. Stubbs or anybody else for the purpose of having it blue pencilled, it Is simply preposterous. am not accustomed to allow anybody to dictate what I shall say in my speech es. I am willing to make a substan tial contribution to the Democratic campaign fund If Mr. Martin or any on sale. south window models; made of the The various lots are body else can prove that the wording of my speech waa Influenced In the slightest degree by -any railroad attor neys, representatives of breweries, or any other Improper source. "I said in that speech that I would stand for a policy of protection of the roads, and for the protection of tha people from the rapacity of the rail roads, and for the protection of tha railroads from the attack of dema gogues. I have carried out that pledge throughout my administration. The rec ord of the legislature for railroad ad ministration is sufficient answer to these insinuations which have been made by Mr. Martin." LOCAL MENTION. Judge IT. S.

Dismissal of Netherlands' Min ister Gives Grave Offense. TOOK IT IN OWN HANDS President Cast ro Should Uave Waited Gjvernnn ut Action. Complications May Lead to an Invasion. Caracas, Tuesday, Sept. 29. "The re vocation of the decree of May 14 is de manded in the most energetic manner the government of Venezuela must from this moment and without delay fulfill the protocol of 1894 and not pro long the intolerable state of affairs which it has created by the decree of May 14." These are the words of minister of foreign affairs of The Netherlands i.i his note of Aug. 20, in which he an swers Venezuela's communication tell ing of the summary dismissal of Min ister De Reus from Caracas. M. Van Swimleren, the foreign min ister of Holland, began his reply V: President Castro by acknowledging the gravity of the offense committed by M. De Reus and saying that The Neth erlands government would immediately have recalled him of its own initiative If It had seen the offensive publication, hut that President Castro had taken Justice Into his own hands by violating International custom by summarily ex pelling the minister without asking for his recall. The text of the vital parti of the long note is as follows: "The revocation of the decree of May 14 Is demanded in the most energetic manner. It Is only this revocation which can confirm as an accomplished fact the assurance from your excellen cy that the personal fault committed by the minister resident had not altered the good relations so happily existing between the two nations and that Venezuela also desires to maintain them on the most amicable basis. "Recently my attention has again been called to new complaints appar ently well founded concerning the arbi trary and illicit actions of Venezuelan functionaries, for example: "The seizure on the high seas of shipj flying the Netherlands flag by Venezue lan vessels, and I have been informed by cable of acts of your chief of state towards the representatives of The Netherlands government unfriendly to the highest degree." The note goes on to say that after the renewal of friendly relations is es tablished "the celebration of a definite treaty of arbitration and a consular and commercial convention which will be the surest means of arriving at the desired end, shall be submitted to sub sequent consideration. But the govern ment of Venezuela must, from this mo ment and without delay, show it knows how to appreciate in its real value the maintenance of the protocols seriously celebrated in 1894, and which form the basis of our relations, as well as the obligations incurred by The Nether lands and faithfully lived up to, and that it does not wish to compromise its existence by prolonging the intolerable state of afTalrs which it has created by the decree of May 14." President Castro wag away at Velen cia when this note was presented by Baron von Seckendorf, the German minister, and he told Dr. Paul, his for eign minister, to acknowledge receipt and to await the escond note from Holland from which it was known was soon to arrive. This second note came List week, but because of General Cas tro's Illness it has not as yet been an swered, although it is generally under stood here that Venezuela will not give in to any of Holland's demands. Venezuela will take the stand that, until a satisfactory apology and in demnization is forthcoming "from The Netherlands government for the in sulting letter of the late Minister De Reus and for the stoning of the Vene zuelan by the Curacao mob, Holland has no right at all to make any de mands of this country, especially in the nature of those made in the Dutch note, which interfere with the right enjoyed by free nations to make their own commercial laws. It Is very gen erally admitted in Caracas that it tne Venezuelan government wishes to have the trans-shipment or merchandise for Maracaibo done in Venezuelan ports i.hat It has a perfect right to do so. although Caracas may be a sufferer thereby. Although The Netherlands note asks for the "immediate revocation" of the trans-shipment decree it has been re ported that the second note fixes the date of November 1 as the time when this must be done, thus giving the note the nature of an ultlmntum. Nobody who knows General Castro believes that this demand will have any other effect than still further to incense Venezuela's executive against Curacao, and nobody would be at all surprised if his answer was more vigorous and determined than The Netherlands gov ernment expects or will like. The Venezuela Is being prepared to resist Invasion and that the many big coast defense towns have been made ready for an emergency is common knowl edge down here. MORE NOISE AT MARTINIQUE.

Harger of Kansas university Journal ism department lectured Monday afternoon to the students of Leland Stanford university on "The Modern journalism." Seoul, Oct. 13. It has just been learned that 22 members of the "Ilchinhoi," the pro Japanese or ganization of Korea were killed by the Japanese gendarmes at Cholado a few days ago. The affair has been kept quiet but has occasioned much uneasiness because it might be con sidered as a ruthless slaughter of un offending Koreans by the Japanese soldiers and calculated to confirm previous reports of unnecessary cruelty practiced by the Japanese in Korea. The matter has been reported by Marquis Ito, resident general of Korea who is now in Tokio. Advices from Tokio state that Mar quis Ito has held conferences with Premier Katsura and Viscount Terauchi, minister of war and it is understood a cabinet will be called to consider the question and decide upon the future action to be taken. In consequence of these conferences the report is being widely circulated that the Japanese government has decided to immediately annex Korea. The Associated Press however, is assured that this Is untrue, and that in fact no change In Japan's general policy toward Korea has ever been considered. The explanation advanced of the killing of the "Ilchinhoi" shows that forty "Ilchinhoi" were marching in a body to visit a shrine 'when, the Japanese gendarmes met them, and mistaking them for a band of insurg ents, immediately attacked the party killing 22. and a leving cup valued at $500.

It's easier because all the for eign matter and all the mineral elements are removed from the water. The soap suds has sim ply to remove the dirt from the clothes and does not have to overcome the bad effects of these elements. For this reason the clothes can be washed quicker, easier, better, whiter and consequently with a great deal less wear than it is possible to do when raw un broke water is used. A few weeks trial will prove to you the difference that wash ing clothes In "Soft Water" makes.

An order by a probate Judge made In the absence of the district judge from the county and In an action pending or being commenced in the district court, which order is by its terms operative until the district court or the judge thereof shall act in the matter, is a restraining order and not a temporary Injunction. 3.

Error from Shawnee County, v REVERSED. Syllabus. By -the Court, Portsr, J. Plaintiff's intestate was riding in the caboose of a freight train with the per mission of the conductor. but without having paid or offered to pay any faro, and under such circumstances that the railway company owed him no duty ex cept not to injure him wilfully or wanton ly. While the train to which the caboose was attached was standing at a station In the daytime a freight train following ran Into the caboose, demolishing it, and the deceased received injuries from which he died. In an action against the railway company to recover for his wrongful death on the ground that the Injury was caused by the reckless and wanton negli gence of the company's employes, held: (1.) That the fact that a collision occur red is not prima facie evidence that it was caused by reckless or wanton negli gence. In such a case before the railway company can be held liable there must be some fact or circumstance In evidence from which the natural and reasonable Inference arises that the Injury was caused by the reckless or wanton negligence of the employes of the company. (2.) The evidence in this case examined and held not sufficient to Justify a recov ery on the ground that the injury was caused by the reckless or wanton negli gence of the employes of the defendant. 3.) Upon the finding of the Jury that the engineer of the second train saw the first train standing on the track at the vtntfon when his train was more than a mile and a half distant, no recovery can be based upon the failure of the crew In charge of the forward train to send back tJEGAZu a flagman to warn the rear train -as such failure could not have been the proximate cause of the injury.

A motion by a defendant to set ssida a Judgment rendered aga'nst him, which contains both jurisdictional and non-Juria-dictional grounds, constitutes a general appearance in the case. r 2. In an action to recover judgment or a promissory note and to foreclose a mortgage on real estate given to secure such note, the maker of the note and mortgage having died, his administratrix and minor heirs were made parties and served with summons. A decree of fore closure was taken against the minors as upon default, they not appearing In tha suit. More than twelve years afterwards, and eight years after the youngest heir had reached the age of majority, they moved set aside and vacate the judgment on the grounds. 1st, that they had not been le gally served with summons, and, 2nd, that the petition did not state facts suf ficient to constitute a cause of action. The district court overruled the motion for the reason that the last ground of the motion constituted a general appear ance in the case and cured the defective service of summons complained of in the first ground thereof.

Did the grantor by his acts or words or both manifest an intention to make the instrument his deed and thereby divest himself of title? (Wuester vs. FoUn, 60 Kan. 334.) 2. The controlling question in this case arises upon the delivery of a certain deed.

S. It was not error to refuse to give an Instruction to the effect that If the loosening of the-rock In the entry 'of a mine had been- caused by excavations made by the plaintiff in mining in his room, he could not recover for Injuries caused by such rock falling upon him, without qualifications as to his own care or knowledge of the damage. 4. A miner In performing the work as signed to him, although bound to exer. cise due cara for his own safety, may as sume. In the absence of notice to the con trary, that the owner and overseer have performed their duty In respect to the caret of the entry where he is at work, when injured. All the Justices concurring.

In a prosecution for maintaining a common nuisance under the act prohib iting the unlawful sale of Intoxicating liquor, the trial to,determine if the prop erty seized by the sheriff under the war rant should be forfeited, may be had at the time, fixed for answer In the notice served upon the defendant or at any other time to be fixed by the court in the exer cise of Judicial discretion. (Gen. Stat. 1901, sec 2495.) 2. This discretion should be exercised reasonably in accordance with orderly Ju dicial procedure, but where it is not shown that the court, in making an order complained of, failed to apply the rules and anologles of the law to the facts found upon fair judicial consideration of the evidence, there Is no abuse of discre tion Justifying the reversal of the order although a contrary ruling would not have been erroneous or unjust.

That the Democratic state central committee is now devoting a tre mendous amount of effort to accom plish the control of.the iiext state legislature Is shown by the-fact that another 60,000 edition of what is known as the "Blstrow circular" was received at state headquarters Mon day, and is being distributed through out' the state as rapidly as possible. This Is in addition to the 100,000 copies of this circular already distributed. The Democrats are-making the most of the Republican factional split,-And are spreading the report as rapidly as possible that ''the word has gone out" from Senator Long's intimate crowd that all friends of Long are to support the Democratic nominees.. Indications are that there is a good deal of truth In the reports about Long's friends secretly working to de feat Republican nominees' for the legislature, though Senator Long has done all he could to prevent a defec tion. This is especially true in the Seventh district. It is charged that a prominent member of Long's cam paign committee is furnishing money and assistance to defeat the Republi can candidate for the legislature in his own county.. It is. also claimed that a certain well known associate .of Senator Long is being used by the Democrats as an intermediary,, to ap peal to "machine" Republicans to sup port Democratic" nominees through out the district. This intermediary is of course very careful to cover his tracks. He simply tips it off to some trusty lieutenant in each representa tive district, it 13 said, and depends upon that lieutenant to "swing" forty or fifty votes. The postmasters in many of the counties are secretly fighting the Republican candidates for the legislature, because many of these postmasters feel that they owe their places to Long. Through the post masters many of the rural route .car riers have been lined up against the Republican candidates for the legisla ture, it is said, and the rural route carriers are industriously spreading the "poisonV among, the farmers. In the face of such reports which keep coming in, the Republican state committee insists that the conditions are not a serious menace to Republi can control of the legislature. The Republicans say that the. "knifing" of Bristow by disgruntled Long partisans Is confined to a comparatively few counties, and that only a few thou sand votes, at the very limit will be affected. Nevertheless the Republi cans are beginning to sit up and take notice of the situation. The Democrats are 'so Confident of controlling the next house of repre sentative that they are already be ginning to talk about their candidates for speaker. One of the men who would certainly be an active factor if elected, would be C. F. Foley of Rice county. But Mr. Foley has a hard man to beat in the person of Ansel R. Clark. W. S. Brown of Kingman- the "Iron-Jaw Brown" of Populist days will be a candidate for the speaker ship if elected. L. M. Penwell of Shawnee county, who' hopes to beat A. M. Harvey, might get into the speakership fight if there was a Democratic house and he was a member of it. Lot Raven scraft, an old time Populist legislator, is the Democratic candidate from Clark county, and would be available for the speakership; W. A. Morgan of Hodgeman, a Democratic member of the 1907 house and J. M. Davis of Bourbon, also one of the 1907 minority, would be in line for promotion. The Republicans have come to look upon the election of a. Republican house with so much uncertainty that they have quit talking about speaker ship candidates. The best Judges of the situation ex pect the Democrats to gain some strength in the house and senate, but do not expect them to control. It would riot be surprising if the Demo crats had from 50 to 75 members in the next legislature. Word has been received by the Re, pubUcan state central committee that Senator Albert J." Beveridge of Indiana Is sick, and may be unable to fill his Kansas and Oklahoma dates next Fri day, Saturday and Monday. Senator Beveridge, at last reports, was In a hos pital in Nevada. oeiore the dixnafrh mme announcing the sickness of Beveridge, Chairman Dixon of the Republican speakers' bu reau in Chicago had wired the stattj committee that Mr. Beveridge would nave to speak at Salina Friday morn ing at 8 o'clock. Mr. Dixon said thai "the best he can do" was to have Mr. Beveridge at Sa lina at 8 o'clock-for a 45-minute speech, give McPherson 10 minutes, Hutchin son and Enid an hour each, and Okla homa the night meeting. Mr. Bever idge will spend Saturday and Sunday In Oklahoma. He will be in Kansas again on Monday, speaking at Coffey vlile at 8 a. m. and at Spr!ng0eId, Mo at 2 p. m. He speaks at Kansas City that night. Chairman DolleVis trying to get th national committee to change this plan and make the Salina meeting later in the day. 'What we want to arrange is to mako the Salina meeting one of the big meet ings of the campaign," said Mr. Dolley. "We' can't do this if Beveridge has to speak there at 8 o'clock in the morn ing." The Pleasanton Herald, a Re publican paper published by J. E. Latimer, reads the riot act to the Re publican state central committee in its last issue for fending out through its press bureau the story about Cy Leland working ,in partnership with Jerry tsotkln to beat StuDDs. jeianu has never denied this story, but the Pleasanton Herald savs that it is being circulated for the purpose of hitting Leland over the head when ne is down. Latimer was a Leland man in the primary, and a supporter of the machine." He thinks tnat tne pres ent management of the Republican state committee is "again" the old machine. Mr. Latimer says: "It's time the bosses at Topeka get down to business and recognize the fact that to win .tfhls fall there must be unity in the party, and it can not be secured by calling Leland, his supporters and others who were not Stubbs reform ers, rank traitors. It's time to obliterate factions in the Republican party and work unitedly for the entire ticket, national and state." The attitude of the Democrats on the prohibition question is beginning to attract attention, and will proo- ably come In for consideration at the state meeting of the State Temperance union today. It appears that the Democrats want to avoid going on record on the subject, and have re fused to allow Mr. Botkin to appear before the State Temperance union and declare himself. The state central committee, it is said, has received word that at least one of the big wholesale liquor houses In Kansas City, which supplies the Kansas trade, is writing letters to its Kansas patrons and friends urging them to support the Democratic ticket. This particular firm, through its traveling agents, says that the Demo crats have agreed to let each county run its liquor business in any way it sees fit.. That is exactly what the liquor interests want. Atchison Globe: B. P.

Attorney General Hemenway of Hawaii has ar rived in Washington preparatory to appearing in the supreme court of the United States in a number of cases from that territory. For the convenience of the Ha waiian lawyers, before adjourning last spring, the court Touped all the cases from Hawaii, set them for hearing one after another and advanced them so that they will be reached within the next two Weeks. Most of these cases are important only to the litigants, but one of them, that of Morita Keizo, involves the citi zenship of a number of residents of the island. Keizo is a Japanese, who is under sentence on the charge of murder and he has appealed his case to the supreme court on the ground that eight of the sixteen members of the jury who sat in his trial were not citizens of the United States. They were foreigners who had taken out naturalization papers in the circuit court of the islands. The law provides for the issuance of citizenship papers bv only the district or the supreme court and Keizo con tends that because the papers in the case of the jurors were issued by the circuit court they. were not eligible to act in that capacity or any other ca pacity implying citizenship. He will accordingly ask the supreme court to reverse the findings. Mr. Hemenway will contend that for the purpose of naturalization the cir cuit court was in effect the district court. He says that if the decision should go against this contender about 1.000 men would be. affected, many of them being Portuguese who have gone to the islands in recent years and who have taken out papers in the circuit court.

Torrence Ewart,' of the- advertising department of the Hall Lithographing company, who claims to have lost 25 pounds in weight since a matrimonial story was started on him, is visiting with home folks this week. Sunday night's freeze has practically denuded the walnut trees of their fol iage and the green hulled nuts are fall ing to the ground which accounts for the numerous excursions into the woods by the boys and girls as well as a lib eral sprinkling of grown folks.

At a meeting of the directors of the Topeka canning factory the decision was reached to keep the factory closed this season on account of the scarcity of canning fruit. The flood waters in June washed out many of the gardens which were relied upon to furnish prod ucts for the factory. Some of' them were replanted but the dry weather which followed later and- the early frosts made the crop a failure, and the plant will not be opened until next season. Trial of C. W. Morse and A."

She had been a sufferer ior some time. The ecaema started on her arm mnA fchnn face and ear. We had our family doctor, who treated her and did a. 1 1 he oould. He cave her all kinds of salves and remedies, but without success. The disease tormented her so she would scratch day and night. Then I read of what Cuticura had done for other children. We used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, bandaging her so that the eczema would not spread over her whole body. After using the Cuti cura Remedies for a month she started to improve. I have used Cuticura Soap for her since she was born, and that with one box of Ointment cured her. I am glad she is cured, and I always recommend the Cuticura Reme dies.

It was a particularly bad case, affecting me from my head to my feet, and the irritation was terrible. I suffered for four years off and on. I had seen five doctors and tried sundry remedies, but none gave me any ease until I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment. My case being a very bad one, it nrtu rally took longer to make a good impression, but after per severing day after day for a month, I seemed to make fair progress. I be- fan to use the Cuticura Remedies about uly, 1906, and my cure was complete about October of the same year. Alfred Lew, l, Winkfleld Rd., Wood Green, n.. England; March 23. 1008."
