EVERYBODY I EVERYBODY 16 PAGES NEEDS IT. 1U READS IT. LAST EDITION. SATURDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, OCTOBKR 2 1908. SATURDAY EVENING. FIVE CENTS. SNOW AND RAIN. The Weather Man Generous to Kansas Fanners. Floods the Grounds and Fills All of the Streams. BRIDGES WASHED OUT Lands Alon? the Yerdigris and Neosho Overflowed. Country Road Impassable Rural Carriers Stop. Independence. Kan., Oct. 24. The Verdigris river In the vicinity of In dependence continues to overflow its banks and still is rising. It la now considerable above the June flood rise. The rate of rise is three Inches an hour. The damage to the farms on the bot tom lands will run Into the thousands. Many of the farmers had planted their wheat seed, and this has been ruined. The corn not harvested has also been lost. Some of the farmers' families have had to leave the farms and take refuse in farm houses on higher ground. The greatest individual damage done by the Hood was suffered by the A. M. Blodgett Construction company of Kan sas City. This company had a bridge almost constructed across the Verdigris for the Union Traction company on a new line from Independence to Cherry vale. This was 53 feet above the water level, and yet was swept away like a toy. The loss to the company is about $5,000. if the iron work has not been injured, other wise, a great deal more. Coffeyville, Kan.. Oct. 24. The Verdi gris river at this point registers within 16 inches of the highest mark ever known, that of 1904. It was practically on a standstill last evening, but a rise is coming which will bring it up a few Inches hlsher. Vast damage has been done to crops. Entire fields of shock corn have been washed away and the standing water fn the lowlands will ruin corn and hay. But little loss of live stock is reported here, yet hundreds of carcasses have been seen floating down stream, indi cating quite a loss to the farmers fur ther up the river. The east portion of the city is par tially submerged and fully 40 families have been compelled to move to higher feround. The only trains run into the city today were over the Missouri Pa cific from the north. The M. K. T. and Santa Fe roads have been blocked since last night by the overflowing of tracks. It will be late tomorrow at the earliest before either road can use their tracks with safety. Neodesha, Kan., Oct. 24. Following a four days' rain. Verdigris and Fall rivers, which converge about two miles below this city, are out of their banks. They are still rising, and may go as high as the high water last spring. Much damage will result to growing wheat and shocked corn. Many families have moved out of the low places, both in town and in the country. The Frisco and Missouri Pa cific trains are running late, though no general tleup has resulted yet. The temperature has fallen several degrees and the rain has turned to snow. The Indications now are for fair weather. Iola, Kan., Oct. 24. The Neosho river is about out of Its banks, due to con tinuous rain of the past 48 hours. The river now stands at flood stage, and upstream reports to the weather bu reau indicate that it Is still rising there. The highest stage of the flood may not have reached this section. The creeks about town are out of banks, and the country roads are all but Impassable, as a result of the heav iest rainfall in the records of the weath er station. It has rained continuously here since Monday afternoon. Galena. Kan., Oct. 24. An incessant rain beginning Wednesday night and continuing through the day has greatly retarded the zinc mining Industry here. Bieet fell during a brief interval. Seneca, Kan.. Oct. 24. The first enow came and about 6 inchse covered the ground. It will be of great benefit to wheat, some wheat had not come up on account of the continued drouth. Canton, Kan., Oct. 24. It has rained here nearly every day this week. A good rain fell, which turned to snow before morning, but most of it melted before sun up. The cold snap is a good fhlng, as it will kill the insects which were working in the young wheat. Wheat Is coming up nicely and Is a splendid stand, and there Is not much danger from Hes Blan fly, as the wheat was sown late. Waverly, Kan., Oct. 24. After a three days' rain, during which about five Inches of water .fell, the moisture turned to snow, covering the gTound to a depth of three inches. It is the earliest snowstorm here since October 16, 1897. when many cattle were still on grass and perished in the storm. No serious damage from the storm is anticipated, and it will probably bo good for the growing wheat. Strong City. Kan., Oct. 24. After quite a long drouth this section was visited by two or three days of cloudy, rainy weather. Thursday night about two inches of snow fell. This mois ture h as been much needed. Unpro tected stock suffered badly. Indica tions are for clear and warmer wea ther. La. Cygne, Kan., Oct. 24. The rain here continues steadily and all the streams are out of their banks. One rural mail carrier was unable to get out Thursday and probably none of four will be able to get out because of overflowing creeks and the river The total rainfall from Sunday morn ing to Friday 'was nine Inches, and west of the river a few miles an inch more precipitation is reported. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 24. Four inches of wet, heavy snow fell here, nearly all of which is still on the ground, and snow fell the greater part of this morning. The temperature Is 3 5 degrees. Farmers were not pre pared for the storm and stock will puffer much. Much corn Is still in the field. Lebo, Kan., Oct. 24. A heavy, wet now commenced falling here last night about dark. This snow followed a heavy rain and much of it melted as it fell; Ten years ago, October 17, Just such a snow fell as this one. The temperature is moderating and fine snow is still falling. Winfleld, Kan.. Oct. 24. A light fall of snow ended last night's rain storm in this locality. In exposed places the snow is still visible this morning. Junction City. Kan., Oct. 24. Fol lowing a light rain here there was a snowstorm that lasted for several hours. Most of the snow melted as it fell. Atchison, Kan.. Oct. 24. Snow be gan falling here last night and con tinued to come down steadily until noon Friday. Street car traffic was delayed by the snow on the tracks early In the morning. The snow was preceded by a heavy rain. Council Orove, Oct. 24. A misting rain fell oft and on all day and was followed by a good rain Friday, which changed to a heavy warm snow in the evening Fall wheat was suffering much for the want of moisture and in manv parts of the county the farmers have" been unable to dig their potatoes i i f it h.qkprl condition U W I II K IU ll'tr ui j of the ground. This is an exceptional ly early snow for this part of the country, but if followed by good wea ther can do no harm but will do much good. STILL IT SNOWS. Remarkable October Storm Con tinues Today. Orer Three Inches of Water Has Fallen. The snow which is falling and has been at intervals for the past 40 hours has made another record for the month of October inasmuch as it is the heaviest snow atorm ever recorded in Kansas in this month. Another record is also in danger. While the lack of precipitation during the month has indicated that the pres ent October would be the dryest on record the rain and snow of the past five days promises to change the rec ord to the wettest. The precipitation since the first of the month has been 3.21 of an Inch and 3.13 of an inch of this has fallen since the present storm rjroke on the city. While a great deal of this precipitation has fallen as snow it has melted almost as fast as it has, fallen and at no time was there over two and one-half inches of snow on the ground. The measurement of snow as precipitation is only one-tenth as great as rain so that if the 3.13 inches of precipitation which has occurred during the past five days should be measured as snow it would have amounted to a snowfall of a little more than two and one-half feet in depth. The average date of snowfall in Kansas is November lsth so that the present snow storm is nearly four weeks ahead of the regular schedule. As far as the local weather de partment knows at this time the storm is local only, the eastern portion of the state being visited while it has not extended east of the Mississippi river. The atmosphere has been crowded with snov flakes all dt;y and as there has been a drop In the temperature readings it is likely that the ground will be well covered with snow before It stops. At 2 o'clock last night the mercury registered .37 the highest point reached since Thursday afternoon be fore the snow and rain began to fall. It began to drop shortly afterwards and at 8 o'clock today registered barely one degree above the freezing point, the minimum for the past 24 hours. Snow Continues Through Day. Snow has fallen continually since early this morning and at times the air has been filled with white flakes though most of them have melted as fast as they fell. The ground is soaked to the depth of several inches and the streets and walks are rivers of slush as the temperature has been Just a fraction above the freezing point with the exception of two hours during the day. The precipitation during the past 24 hours has amounted to .85 of an Inch, twenty-one hundredths of this fell during the night and the remaining sixty-fourth hundredths since that time. If all of the snow which has fallen since morning had remained on the ground It would now be covered to the depth of six inches. As it is the snow is about three and one-half inches deep on the lawns and in the country adjacent to the city. The outlook for better weather for Sunday is anything but promising, as threatening weather is predicted for the eastern portion of the state with out much change in the temperature, which means another day of sloppy weather. The forecast for the western and central part of the state is gen erally fair tonight and Sunday. The following were the temperatures since 7 o'clock this morning: 7 o'clock 3311 o'clock 33 8 o'clock 3312 o'clock. .3$ 9 o'clock 32 1 o'clock 33 10 o'clock 321 2 o'clock 33 TRICKETT FILES SUIT. WiU Again Press Charges Against Old I a v Partner. C. W. Trickett today refiled his dis barment proceedings In the supreme court against C. R. Cooksey, his for mer law partner, who tried to have Trickett disbarred in Wyandotte coun ty, and failed. When Trickett first filed the charges with the supreme court, the court turned them down, on the ground that Trickett himself was under suspicion, and should wait until he cleared him self. This Mr. Trickett has done, and he now renews his application for the supreme court to take up the Cooksey charges. Oov. Hughes Able to Speak. Ttoehe-ter, X. Y.. Oct. 24. Gover nor Hushes was not obliged to can cel his speech at the Republican rally here last night the governor's throat responded to treatment and his voice carried well to all parts of Convention hall. His speech was along the same lines as those of his whole tour SPERRYPLEASED. Delighted With Reception of Americans in Japan. A Sincere Desire to Cultlrate Friendly Relations. AT YOK01IOMA TODAY. Will Sail Tomorrow Under Jap anese Escort. One Squadron to Philippines, Other to Hong Kong. Tokohama, Oct. 24. On the eve of the departure of the American battle ship fleet after a week of continuous holiday of celebration, Tokohama was today the liveliest and most brilliant city in the Far Kast. The bay swarm ed with launches darting hither and thither among the thirty-six stately warships anchored outside the break water. The populace in tens of thous ands lined every available portion of the water front. Representatives of every department of the government, the diplomatic corps and the consuls of all the most prominent nations in the world were the guests at a luncheon and recep tion given aboard the flagship Con necticut today. The reception, which was a gratifying evidence of the popu larity of the Americans, were attended by upwards of 3,000 persons prominent in official and civil life. Sailing at 8 o'clock tomorrow the American fleet will head directly to ward Olongapo, in the Philippines. At the outset of the cruise the warships will be escorted by a Japanese squad ron composed of the battleships Ka torl, Kashi, Tsukuba and Ikoma. Vice Admiral Katow will board the Con necticut half an hour before the time set for departure to deliver the official farewells on behalf of the Japanese government and will then proceed to the flagship Mikasa, after which the fleets will exchange salutes. The American battleships will steam out of the bay in single column, forming in double column when outside the har bor and laying a course straight for Olongapo. Rear Admiral Emory will command the second squadron as far as Hong Kong, when he will lower his Hag and proceed homeward via Europe. Cap tain: William P. Potter, who has com manded the Vermont, will take the rank of rear admiral in command of the second division and raise his flag on the Louisiana. Sperry Is Impressed. In an interview given exclusively to the Associated Press tonight Rear Admiral Sperry said: "I am deeply Impressed by the sin cerity of th Japanese government and people in the welcome they have ex tended the officers and men of the At lantic fleet. Nothing could exceed the lavish hospitality we have been shown, but it is not alone upon the wonder ful variety and scope of the entertain ment that we base this estimate. It was rather the attitude of the whole people of Japan to towards the United States. "We have had unusual opportuni ties of meeting the representative peo ple of this country and I am speaking as well for the officers and men of the fleet when I say to the Associated Press that there can be no possible doubt of the sincere desire on the part of our hosts last week to cultivate permanent and happy relations with America. "During our stay in Japan we have been deeply impressed by the popular demonstrations in our honor and even more forcibly touched by the recep tions accorded us everywhere by the children of Japan. We felt that It was the coming generation giving us welcome and we regard it as an earn est Indication of the good and kindly feeling that will prevail among the generations to come. We say goodbye with a feeling of regret and a deep sense of obligation." Rear Almiral Sperry also issued a farewell to the people through the ver nacular press, wherein he expressed sentiments somewhat similar. In con clusion the statement says: "Already cable messages from home show that the president and people of the United States, one and all pro foundly appreciate the generous hos pitality you have bestowed upon the fleet. They express the same Joyful confidence the ancient ties of friend ship and good will will be drawn closer during the years to come." Seamen Are Complimented. Acting Consul General Babbitt, who effectively represented the government of the United States at Yokohama dur ing the fleet's stay, communicated to Rear Admiral Sperry, officially the views of the mayor of Tokohama, whf said the behavior of the thousands of American seamen while here was most excellent and had filled the whole peo ple of Japan with admiration of the gallant sailors of America. Another .pleasing communication con veyed the request of the governor of Shimoda, that the city of Shlmoda be allowed to attend to the necessary work and meet the expense of caring for the graves of Surgeon General Hamilton and the enlisted men who died during the visit of Commodor Perry to Japan. The United States government recently ordered this to be done at the expense of America. Th governor of Shimoda says that the people of his province desire by this means to express their cordial feeling for the American fleet. Rear Admiral Sperry accepted the offer and in his reply to the governor said that the people, of America as well as the gov ernment would highly apreciate this generous act of the citizens of Shi moda. Previous scenes of enthusiasm In Tokohama were repeated tonight. The weather Is promising but somewhat cloudy. Snntn Fe Has a Wreck. Tulsa, Oct. 24. Running behind time and at a fair rate of speed. No. 221, the Kansas City passenger train on the Santa Fe was wrecked Fri day afternoon by soft truck Just west of Ochelata. The engine and- three coaches went into the ditch.

TOPEKAMOVES UP Becomes Member of Western Baseball League. Magnates Pay $5,000 for Capital City and Wichita.' VOTE IS UNANIMOUS. No Objection Offered to Release of Two Cities. Manager Coolej Says He'll Haye a Good Team. Kansas City, Oct. 24. Topeka and Wichita were officially introduced into the Western baseball league today. It Is a long time before baseball enters the stage doors again but dur ing the long winter months when the snow is blowing up against the win dows and the Topeka "fans" are sitting before their fireplaces reading the pink sheets and the pink news out of the prize fighting columns they will have an extra little flutter down In their heart which will make a noise like happiness every time the mind wanders back to baseball in other words Topeka was welcomed Into the Western league this morning and the local "fans" will be able to see a notch higher baseball next summer. At a meeting of the Western asso ciation this morning at the Hotel Baltimore, the Western Baseball asso ciation bid farewell to Topeka and Wichita and all of the necessary transactions were made to cinch the deal. The $5,000 for Topeka was turned over by Senator W. L. Cooper, attorney for President O'Neil of the Western league and the welcome salute of thirteen guns was given. In the meeting of the Western asso ciation every team was represented and not a nay vote was given for the release of Topeka and Wichita. When the matter was put before the council and the votes were counted it stood 7 to 0. Hutchinson refused to vote for various reasons known only to those concerned. Their refusal to vote did not make any difference with the blackballing of the two am bitious teams and Topeka and Wich ita were free. They at once accepted the propositions with the Western league under the attorneyship of Mr. Cooper and the signing of players will commence at once. At the same meeting of the West ern association thirteen applications were registered with the members and they will be considered at the next orhcial meeting of the associa tion. The cities who made applica tion for admittance were: St. Joe, Atchison. Leavenworth, Sedalia, Pitts burg, Coffeyville, Independence, Mus kogee, Guthrie. Salina, Tulsa, Shaw nee and McAllister. It is not known which teams will make good on the applications although circumstances point very favorably toward Salina as one of the stronger candidates. President Shively appointed a com mittee of three to consider the above towns. Manager Coolev of the Topeka team is getting on his working clothes and will be right to the front when the umpire gives the first "play ball." He has made arrangements with several new players. Many of them will be drafted from the W'estern association. He also has a line on a number of the "farmers" in the bigger leagues. He says that Topeka will be in the first diclsion the whole time and he hopes that the jump from the lower to the higher class will not effect the stand ing or supremacy of the pennant win ners. As far as the crowds and sup porters are concerned Cooley thinks that Topeka will hold her own as she has always done over the old circuit. President O'Neil of the Western league was not present at the meeting of the league today, but he was le gally represented by his attorney, Mr. W. L. Cooper. Topeka Is now a full-fledged member of the Western league and no more guesses and doubts will be made throughout the barber shop leagues and street corner "fans" as to the chances of the new entrance. Base ball will take on a new "hunch" and Topeka will get the benefit. JHXIXG CONGRESS DATES. A Feature Will Be a Coal Mine Gas Testing Plant. Denver, Oct. 24.

Oct. 24 King Cole, Nebraska's football tutor, has evolved a new formation that at once has be come the sensation of the Cornhusker camp. Cole confesses that he didn't dream It, while the players boldly as sert that the new formation is so dai xlihg In Its effectiveness that their coach at least must hare thought he was dbilng and woke up only to find that his dreams had come true. The new formation has been dubbed by the Cornhuskers as the "Peekaboo." Cole simply says that it Is the result of a lot of hard thinking on the road home from Minnesota early in the week, dur ing which he tried to figure it all out Just why the Cornhuskers had not trimmed the Gophers and then gave it up. The Cornhusker coach started the week by introducing his new formation. It was rehearsed merely at the train ing table for two flays, after which the players were instructed to turn it loose on the second eleven in practice. Right off the reel the varsity ripped through the scrubs for three touchdowns and the following session it was worsea iur two more touchdowns after which Cole packed the play on ice. Intending to save It for the harder contests of the future. The rooters wilt moot likely get a glimpse of the "Peekaboo" In today's argument with the Haskell Indians. Cole had hoped to save the hew forma tion for the games With towa univer sity and the Ames Aggies, but stories of the prowess of the Haskell braves have convinced the Nebraska coach that his proteges Will be compelled to put their best goods up oh the counter, which probably means that the Indians will be "Peekabooed" at least oh two or three occasions In case the Corn huskers find It hecessary to put on the fixings. The assurance that Haskell Is coming t ltlv Nebraska ft stiff battle Is not particularly to Cole's liking, who frank ly say that the Cornhuskers are far from being In shape to encounter a hard game. Cole'a team has been shot Into shreds this Week by Injuries and sickness. Quarterback Cooke, Fullback Oroger and Left Half Belteer went into the Minnesota game In poor condition and came out of It so badly bumped that not one of them has been In the scrimmaging all week.

October 24 Carlisle Indians. October 81 Swarthmore. November 7 Lafayette. November 11 Michigan at Ann Arbor. November SO Cornell. (By Chas. Scully, Football Manager.) The prospects of Pennsylvania turn ing out a winning football team this fall ate not exceedingly bright. From last year's varsity team we have lost seven men. Gaston and Scarlett are the only two veteran players left In the line while Hollenback and Kllnath are the only two In the back field. This year there seems to be plenty ot promising material for the back field, but the gaps in the line left by such players as Zuglar, Draper and Galla gher will be very hard to fill from the good line-men out this year from last year's freshmen team, among whom are Marks, who looks like a promising center.Cozens and Ferris as tackles, Who would certainly make good if they Were a little heavier as tiey both are very heady players. Irwin and Bur dick look as if they couJd fill the gaps left by Ziegler and Gallagher while Mclntln, Favorite and Young, aided by Townsend, last year's sub, Hollenback and Klinath, a very promising" quar terback, should hold up the back Held. Scarlett Is still the reliable p4ayer he has been for the last three years and aid'ed by Braddock. last year's sub, with Crooks and Miller to fall back on, we should turn out a first class pair of ends.

Young Clerks Cabled a 6 Mes sage to Madrid. Postal Guide Has Warning Against This Scheme. Neodesha, Oct. 24.- If rou receive a letter from a relative of yours who Is dying in a Spanish dungeon and he wants to leave you ft large fortune provided you will take care of a daughter of his who Is stranded in the ancient kingdom of Castile end Leon, yotl had better turn the kind offer down. It would be Infinitely better for you to let your unfortunate kins man gradually pine away and die In a milttafy fortress, fend allow MS charming daughter to be carried off to the mountain fastnesses by brigands, and let the fortune revert to the Spanish government, than to part with any considerable sum of hard earned cash to assist In allevlat lng their distress. The Whole thing is a rank swindle ahd Is being worked all over the United States, even In Neodesha. A few days ago A. C. sperry. Who clerks for Heath Peterson, re ceived a letter, postmarked Madrid, Spain, and saying in substance that ft relative of his was at the point of death In orison and that he has a fortune in stocks In the United States but unfortunately his valise contain ing the certificates of stock has been seized by the government authorities and he Is In a serious predicament. He does not care for himself, it is his daughter, he wants to get her into the hands of relatives and offers to send her to America If Mr. Sperry will accept her, and to give him one fourth of his fortune tot several hun dred thousand dollars. Mr. Sperry paid no attention to the letter farther than to tell of getting it to the other clerks. But when some of the younger ahd less married ef the grocery force heard It they quit wrapping up soup beans and got their heads together. The result was that they got a promise from Mr. Sperry that If he would give them fifty per cent of the proceeds they would undertake to get the go-way bag with the precious certificates out of hock and rescue the beautiful maiden from her predicament. Then they sent ft cablegram to Mad rid, Spain, as per directions, telling the dying man that they would take him up at his own offer. The mes sage cost Six dollars but they figured that if they could get one-half or one fourth of several hundred thousand dollars they would still be away to the good; so much so that they would be enabled to quit dispensing green cucumbers and filling prescriptions for canned tomatoes and cheese, and could retire with a. small fortune and the satisfaction of knowing that they had rescued a helpless maiden rrom the cold contact with a cruel and un friendly World.

The article was headed "The Span ish Swindle" and appears below: 'The attention of postmasters is di rected to the following schemes operated by swindlers from various towns and cities in Spain, who make ft practice of writing to persons in the United States. "The scheme consists In sending letters to Certain' persons, who have previously been selected by con federates. The foundation of the plot Varies somewhat. In some Instances the writer represents himself as a dy ing prisoner In a military fortress. He has a fortune on deposit In the United States, but the certificate of stock Is concealed in a secret receptacle of his valise, which has been Seized by the court of Carthagena, and it will be held until the prisoner, or his representative has satisfied the cost of the trial. He claims distant relationship with the addressee. "If the first letter bears fruit, it Is quickly followed by others in which the prisoner's daughter plays a prom inent part. She is in Spain without ft protector. A proposal Is made to Send her accompanied by a priest to the newly found relative for pro tection, if enough money is send to release the valise containing the secret receptacle and the certificate of deposit. If the relative will accept the trust, he Is to receive one-fourth of the prisoner's entire fortune of about 120,000 pounds, of course, the relative hears no more from the Swindlers after he has sent the money requested."

How Methodists of Deeatnr County Got Their Church Fixed. This Is ft story 6f how the governor "came through." Of course everybody considers the governor of the state an easy mark, Just as soon as a man is elected gov ernor, people commence to come to him with subscription papers and solicitations for contributions. When a man is ft county officer he is sup posed to contribute to everything In the county, but the governor alas for him Is expected to contribute to everything in the state. One of these begging letters came to the governor not long ago from Decatur county. It set forth that the church had been struck by lightning, and a hole knocked in the roof. "We want you to contribute J 5 to ward fixing the roof of this church," said the letter. "It is a good Metho dist church. Now, dear brother, please come through with the five." Decatur county was a lontr ways off. and while Governor Hoch no doubt felt tenderly for the little church with the hole Ih Its roof, he couldn't stir up enough enthusiasm to follow the suggestion to "come through with the five." However, the governor went out to Decatur county last week to inake a campaign speech. Whlle he Was there, the Methodists got him. They re minded him of his failure to respond to their request Tor five dollars. "We haven't got that hole fixed yet," they said to the governor. The governor knew when he waR Up against It. He produced his pocket book and "cftme through." NIGHT RIDERS STILL ACTTVE, Militiamen and Cottongrowers In Arkansas Are Warned. McGrory.

The BIddle creek spillway, planned by pity Engineer Rodgers. to save the east part of the city from the overflow of the creek during the rainy season, is one of the most unique and ingenious finals of engineering to be found In any municipality In this country. The creek channel Is filled up Just north of Eighth street and its course deflected from a northeasterly direc tion to the northwest, and is carried by a Cement channO twenty feet wide and 360 feet long through the first alley north of Eighth street to Locust street, down which it is carried by a two-foot drop clear ta Fourth street where it Is emptied into Shunganunga creek. Locust street is to be paved with two course brick and three-foot cement gutters and the curbing will be higher than usual. Beginning right under the bridge over Eighth street a seven foot cement wall eighteen inches thick at the base and nine inches thick at the top has been built up the sides of the banks of the creek. This wall starts north ward and curves to the west and makes a half circle in a space of twenty feet north of the bridge, cut ting directly across the old channel of the creek and turning the water due west Into the alley just north of Eighth street. The helghth of the wall drops as It enters the alley until it becomes only an unusually high ce ment curbing. Thus this alley is paved with cement and has curbing its en tire length to Locust street. Just at the point where the bend Is made is a lift or stair step eighteen In ches high to give the east end of the spillway the necessary elevation to car ry the water west into Locust street. In the face of this step at the south side Is an opening eighteen Inches square which connects with an eighteen inch pipe. This pipe runs directly west to Shunganunga creek and will carry the flow of BIddle creek during an ordi nary heavy rain without resort to the spillway at all, which is designed for use only during a very heavy rain or flood time. The flow of the creek dur ing the recent rains was cared for by this drain pipe with ease, the water only rising half way In the pipes. 4m 5 Oty Engineer P,aJ ?f tn0J"Pn.,wy -Locust street. Biddle creek flows across Eighth street under the 1111 -manhole-, marked on the nian at Seventh street should nave been marked mm a A m. k m m V T Having a smooth bottom and aides and a good drop, this spillway will care for a tremendous flow of wa ter as will Locust street, which is 26 feet wide from curb to curb. The ar rangement will only be required dur ing and immediately after an unusu ally heavy rainstorm. While the alley north of Eighth and Locust street it self will have been transformed Into a channel for Biddle creek, yet there will be water in this channel only a few hours during the entire year, as the eighteen inch drain in the step at the beginning of the spillway will care for the ordinary flow of the creek with ease. Really there was no other practical way to take care of this troublesome creek. The channel of BIddle creek from the Eighth street bridge north has low banks and flows through a low, flat section. After a heavy rain this creek floods a dozen blocks of the residence district clear down to the Lafayette school.. Locust street looks very bad at this time, as it Is graded for the paving and a rather deep cut appears at Fifth street, but when the high curbing Is put In and two courses of brick laid In the street it will not look so bad. The lots on both sides will be terraced free of extra charge by this Improve ment. The cost of the spillway proper was about $3,600, and this includes the rip-rap work In the bed of BIddle creek for a block south of the Eighth street bridge In a most thorough man ner. At this point the creek bed was nothing more or less than a mud hole and very unsanitary. It has been rip- rapped with limestone from bank to bank clear through the center of the channel and has a bed now nearly as hard and smooth as the spillway Itself. All that section of Topeka from Locust street east and lying between .Eleventh and Fourth streets will be greatly benefited from this Improve ment of paving, spillway and rlD-raD. and the results will be apparent when tne work is entirely finished and the spring floods come. a he council's only objection to Mr. Rodgers' plan of the spillway was the apparent impossibility of getting the elevation necessary to carry the flow or Biaaie creek into Locust street, but he overcame this difficulty by put ting In the eighteen Inch lift or step In the bed of the creek at the very beginning of the spillway and at the same time secured his drainage of the ordinary flow of the creek by means of the eighteen inch pipe which runs directly west to Shunganunga, instead of north as in the case of the overflow carried by the spillway and Locust street. Give Bond for Good Behavior. London. Oct. 24. Tne case of Wil liam James Thome, social Democratic member of parliament, against whom a writ was issued last week, charging that he had Incited to a breach of the peace by making a speech in which he advised the unemployed to "rush" the baker shops rather than starve, came up in the Bow street police court today.

Louisville, Oct. 24. In answer to the statement from Dayton, Ohio, by the attorney for Broughton Branden burg, "that Colonel Watterson an nounced before the Cleveland letter was published that it must be discred ited by any means," Mr. Watterson last night said to a representative of the Associated Press: "I never heard of the alleged Cleveland letter until I read it in the New York Times of Sunday. August 30. It impressed me at once as fraud ulent. I knew that Mr. Cleveland had never had any official dealings with Judge Taft except In a 'single instance involving a disagreement. I knew that Mr. Cleveland was In no condition to write such a letter at or near the date of its alleged composition, and 1 thought I knew enough of Mr. Cleve land's working methods and habits of mind, to know that he would put forth nothing so Important In such a way. The general text furnished matter for farther discredit, since it treated of events which had not come to pass, and could not have been so confidently anticipated by a man as painstaking and careful as the late ex-president. "Coming to town the next day I learned who the 'literary agent' was; that his screed had been refused as of doubtful authenticity if not wholly spurious, by the New York Herald and the World, and that the very name of Mr. Cleveland's executor was mis called, it being Frank S. Hastings and not Frederick S. Hastings, as it had been printed. "Then I went directly to Carlisle and said to him: 'Mr. Secretary, Mr. Cleveland's bit terest enemy would welcome this and could ask nothing worse to be used against his memory. You know that I was not Mr. Cleveland's enmy though I never claimed to be his friend but you are his friend, his nearest living friend, and you owe It as a duty to the dead to run this down and expose it. "Mr. Carlisle thought with me that Mr. Cleveland had written no such letter, and felt, though wholly with drawn from politics, that it was his duty to see justice done to his old chief's memory. "The next day I left New York and came home, where I have remained ever since urging forward the investi gation, though apart from it. merely advising the publio of the facts."

National Chair man Mack made public the following telegram from Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, received by Mr. Bryan upon his arrival In Jersey City last night: "Washington, D.

Did you know there was a railroad in the United States of considerable mileage and importance, on which a passenger had never been killed? S. O. Dunn mentions such a road in an article on "Kliminatlng Railway Acci dents" in the Technical World Maga zine for November. And it is a west ern road: the Missouri, Kansas Texas. The "Katy," as it is common ly called, has 3,000 miles of track, much of which has been in use for many years, and, while there may be other roads with as good a record, they are certainly rare. The writer is of the opinion that the secret of mis roaa s good record may be- summea up in the two words: "Good management." In the first place, the cars are substantially built, which is an important factor when accidents occur, as they do, even on the "Katy." And this road is particular about see in that its employes in the train ser vice are efficient men. for this is real ly the most important preventive of railroad accidents. The best plant in the world is dangerous if recklessly operated. But, while it is generally believed that American railroads are worse In the matter of accidents than they should be, they are not as bad as one would infer from merely read ing the bare statistics that last year 11,839 persons were killed on Ameri can railroads, and 111.016 injured. It happens that only 5 per cent of these killed were passengers. Four thou sand five hundred and thirty-four em ployes were killed, which is too great a total, but that number is exceeded by the number of trespasses killed. This matter of trespassing on rail roads is a great annoyance to the railroads, and affords an excellent op portunity for" us the people, to cut down the great total. One should not walk on railroad tracks, and every possible measure should be taken to discourage the tramps, who really amount to but little, and who swell the railway casualty list immensely. Ana plenty or tramps, most of them, in fact, would amount to something, if only tramping were more disagree able, and more of a crime. The grade crossing is another menace to life, which kills more people than the to tal number of passengers killed in wrecks. Some states are doing some thing toward eliminating these death traps, and so are most of the cities, and some of the railroads, sometimes voluntarily, and sometimes because compelled to by city ordinances. The Pennsylvania, for instance, did away with more than 700 grade crossings last year. That the number of rail way casualties has Increased from year to year, may lead some to be lieve that the railway magnates are a heartless lot, who cheerfully maim and slaughter for dividends. But, of course, that is not true; they are men with man's realization of the value of human life. And if they were not, they would try to cut down the cas ualty list as a business nroDoeition. for this killing comes high. They are trying, al! right, and some of the best brains in the railway world are con cerned with this one particular ob ject. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent by the roads to make travel safer within the last decade, and they have not been spent in vain, for all the increasing list of killed and Injured. It must be remembered that the mileage and density of traffic have increased enormously, and this makes accidents more likely, and worse when they occur. The same cause forces down the standard of la bor: the railroads must have men; if not the best, the best they can get. Some of the big things that have been done for both passengers and em ployes are the installation of auto matic couplers, and train brakes, which better enable the engineer to control his train. Block systems have been installed on many lines, and more are being added. Steel under beams have been placed on many coaches and Pullmans, and now a number of roads and the Pullman company are putting out all steel cars. Much double track has been laid, and, In some instances, the third and fourth track has been added, and the tracks are better drained and ballas ted, and laid of better steel. All of these things help, and new improve ments are being constantly added, look ing in the same direction. Travel now is not so very dangerous, as Is Locust street and down Locust to tracks run.

First Train Over New Ine of Easier Grades. New York, Oct. 24. The first freight train was operated today over the so called Gumyard cutoff, of the Erie railroad, on the New York division. The Guymard line has been under construction for three years and is one of the largest and most expensive changes of line undertaken in the east. The Erie has a heavy grade over the Shawangunk mountains eastbound out of Port Jervis and a lighter but very noticeable one westbound. In order to reduce operating expenses and to provide for a greatly Increased capacity for the New York division, the new line was built. When completed it will be 40 miles in length, ten miles being ready for use today, from Guymard to Howells. On this section is the 6,000-foot dou ble tracked tunnel, the second on the Erie's main line, the only other one being the Jersey City tunnel, which will be eliminated so far as passen ger traffic is concerned when the Ber gen cut is completed. It is expected that the entire Guy mard line will be in use by January 1, and then nineteen locomotives will be able to haul as many cars between Port Jervis and Jersey City as 32 do at the present time. The construction of this line has required the removal of an average o 70.000 cubic feet of material to the mile, the boring of the 6.000-foot tun nel, and the construction of a steel viaduct over Moodna creek 3.200 feet long and 193 feet high. Another via duct 590 feet in length and 72 feet in height carries the line over Bonny brook. The difference in the two lines is made especially apparent by looking at the grade lines, the new tracks be ing 130 feet lower than the old lin-e. It is not expected that the Guymard lin-e will be used for passengpr ser vice, but devoted entirely to freight. With the completion of this work and the connecting up of some short stretches in the near future, the Erie will have four tracks between Jersey City and Port Jervis, a distance of 89 miles.

Sept. 20, as all the delinquent shares I had are now sold, and many of my friends are still unsupplied, I went to Kansas City today to see If I could "pick up" any more of the good Inter national Stock. I went direct to the head office, and found that they had several thousand shares that had late ly lapsed on account of sickness or death. I spoke for them; they said, Take them all. and clean them all out at 15 cents still." Therefore, I again ask you to consider this investment, as the best that ever haa or ever will be of fered you. THE STTM AND SUBSTANCE OF COL. FENDER S LETTERS AND RE PORT DATED SEPT. 30. 1st. I have everything needed to com plete the first 50-ton mill, which will be running in November; the other 60-ton mill will follow. 2d. The saw mill and foundry are running at full blast; am making duplU cate of all castings liable to break; these improvements will save us over $10,000 above their own cost on this nrst 100-ton mill, and thousands on every one ot the future mills. Shall have elec tric plant running by Oct. 15, the com pressed air drills by Nov. 15. This win ter the long tunnels will cut some of our largest veins 700 to 875 feet below the top of the mountain, and give us enormous ore banks, with millions upon millions of value which we can knock down, and get to the mill, and not cost us over $2 per ton. 3d. Since I took this property 18 months ago. every move I have made found nothing but rich gold ore, every where, and lots of It. During Septem ber we have struck several new veins of the richest and most beautiful gold ore you ever saw. I wish all our share holders could come and see it; it would increase your faith In our great Proper ty, and help you to more readily see how it is that we expect to pay such large dividends. In all my 40 years in putting mnes onto a paying basis I never was more certain of great success than I am right now. 4th. Shall ship the high grade ore to the smelters, and put all the rest through the mill; It will easily average us even $100 per ton. giving us $3,000 per day on 50-ton mill, and $10,000 on the 100-ton mill, giving 20 per cent yearly dividends on par value of all stock. Twenty per cent yearly is 5 per cent quarterly, that means $50 every 90 days on every thousand shares, beginning aoout next March. This gives every Investor 133 per cent, on every -dollar he puts into this stock at 15 cents per Shiatret'he other eleven 100-ton mills do as well as this first 100-ton mill.

Oader a Charatable One and Free From Taxation. CASE IS IMPORTANT. Affects a Great Dal of Pro perty in Kansas. Action Brought on Behalf of Grand Lodjje. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: 1. The fact that the charitable and benevolent acts of the grand lodge, A. F. and A. M., are for the most part for the benefit of a limited class, does not exclude it, within the mean in e- of the constitution and statutes of the state, irom being considered a charita ble and benevolent association whose property is exempt from taxation. "2. The plaintiffs are entitled to a permanent Injunction as prayed for In me ueuiion. "A. W. DANA, Judge." The above conclusion of law was the written verdict, handed down this morning by Judge A. W. Dana, ,of the Shawnee county district court, in the case of Henry F. Mason, grand mas ter, and others against S. G. Zimmer man and others. The suit was brought on behalf of the grand lodge of the state, A. F. and A. M.. by Judge T. F. Garver, to restrain Zimmerman, county clerk, the board of county commission ers and the state tax commission from assessing and listing for taxation, the Masonic property at Eighth and Har rison streets. The great importance atiacnea to tnis case and the decision rendered by Judge Dana today, lies in the fact that the Masonic order owns thousands of dollars worth of pro perty in the state, upon which the or der claims exemption under the law maKing cnaritaDie institutions non taxable. The Shawnee countv asses sors, placed the Topeka Masonic home and library on the tax rolls, and were preparing to list the same, when Jus tice Mason, grand master of the or- der, filed his petition for permanent injunction. Shawnee county and Sedgwick coun I ty are the only counties which have, to date, attempted to tax Masonic pro- perty ot this description. Sedgwicl county assessed the Masonic Home at Wichita, and the order brought suit, similar in nature to the Shawnee coun ty suit. The Wichita case was held up. temporarily, pending the decision of Judge Dana, and probably no fur ther effort will be made to collect taxes on- the Wichita institution. The Shawnee county authorities en tered the contention that, because the Masonic charities were alleged to be of benefit to members of the order, and were not general in character, the Masons were not exempt. Judge Dana however, in his written Findings of Fact, which precede the Conclusions of Law above quoted, agreed with the pe titioner in nearly every feature of the case. He found that the most worship ful grand lodge, A. F. and A. M. of Kansas, owned the property described in the petition, and that the lodge was an unincorporated association. That the property inv question was a certain tract in Topeka,-less than 5 acres in V extent, and fitted with a building oc cupied by officers of the lodge as of fices, also as a literary building ana home. Further, that the petitioners were correct in their allegation that unless the court interfered, the county authorities would list the property for taxation and collect thereon. He finds further that the Masonic or der, in Kansas, raises funds only by a small per capita tax of $1 per annum. thereby securing by this means, about $30,000 per annum. The revenues since January, 1903, are quoted at $146,100.62. of which $68,340.39 has been expended for charities: that no part of the build ing under controversy is leased or other wise used for profit, and finally, that certain sums of money are annually set aside for general charities, outside the lodge proper. Judge Dana includes the Wichita home in his findings. The petition. In citing charitable expendi tures, calls attention to the home, where from 300 to 400 aged or indigent members of the order have been cared for. When County Clerk Zimmerman was Informed that he had been restrained from placing the Topeka Masonic property on the tax rolls, he said: "The bad feature of this case is, that every lodge in the state win follow suit, and demand exemption on the same grounds."

Today's game with the University of Pennsyl vania was the most important contest on the Indians' long schedule. They were in prime condition and expected to win. The Pennsylvania eleven went into the game minus its star quarter back and with Captain Hollenback in a battered condition. Otherwise the team was in excellent physical con dition. The weather conditions were good. Over 20,000 persons witnessed the game. Carlisle won the toss and selected to defend the east goal, giving Pennsylvania the kick off. The Quakers kicked off at 2:35 and the Indians failing to gain, kicked to Pennsylvania's 25 yard line. The ball was lost to each side sev eral times and finally Pennsylvania got the leather on the Indians' 32 yard line. Mller fumbled a forward pass and the Indians recovered the ball and kicked to midfleld. Pennsylvania kcked back and the Indians started in to rip up the Quaker line. A double pass with a forward pass and several line plays gave them the ball in midfleld, where they lost it on a trick on side kick. Pennsylvania scores a touchdown.

Beginning today the first day of a five days cam paign in New York state which is as serted to be the real political battle ground, William J. Bryan is devoting nearly all his time to a discussion of the panic of 1907, basing his arguments on the statement by Mr. Taft yester day that the panic was Republican and was due to overprosperity. "Every person who feels that he has had too much prosperity and deserved the punishment of a panic." he is tell ing the people, "should vote the Re publican ticket. The rest can vote for us." The Democratic candidate made his first reference to Governor Hughes, when at Goshen, he spoke of the visit of the governor out west and of his attacks on the Democratic policy of dealing with the trusts. PAUL COLDKEX IS HERE. Was First Paid Football Coach Wash burn Ever Had. Paul Coldren, the first paid coach the Washburn football team ever had, who worked for the college in 1898 and 1899, was in Topeka yesterday on business. Mr. Coldren is now in the real estate business in Kansas City with his brother, and is making good. Mr. Coldren was the star quarter back of Iowa university before coming to Washburn. He built up a great team here out of raw material, and defeated the Denver Athletic club and Denver Wheel club, amony other im portant victories. After leaving Wash burn, he went to Denver and coached Uie Denver Athletics. He has not been coaching since 1900. "I still keen close watch of the Washburn team, and was pleased to see the wonderful record the team made last year. Mr. Weede, your present coach, is a mighty good man. I don't know much about the record of this Drake team which you are go ing to play next Saturday. Drake beat Coe college this year 18 to 0. and Iowa university beat the same school 92 to 0. But you can't always tell by scores how strong a team Is. Drake has about 3.000 students, and was started as a Congregational school, but like Washburn, it has gradually become nonsectarian. They will probably give Washburn a hard battle. "I think the Kansas university team will be a strong one this year. Mis souri expects to win the Thanksgiving game, but I don't believe they -will. Kennedy, the Kansas coach is an old head at the business, and Jie usually whips his team into splendid shape." VORHEES IS QUITE HAUGHTY. State House Custodian Won't Enforce Measly $1 Fine Ordinance. Carl Vorhees. custodian of the state house and state house grounds, says that if the city council passes the ordinance reducing the fine for riding bicycles, motorcycles and automobiles through the state house grounds, he will no longer atempt to enforce the ordinance. "If the city will leave the penalty at $5, where it Is," said Mr. Vorhees, "we will be able to break up this cus tom of cutting through the grounds, under the arches. If the penalty is only a dollar, it isn't worth while to try to stop people going through. There are plenty of them who will take chances on that sized penalty. If the city wants to cut the penalty to 81. then the city must take the Job of enforcing the ordinance. "At'the present time, we are not asking the city for any assistance. State employes, who are commissioned as special policemen, are placed on guard to prevent bicyclists from riding through, to stop motorcycles and automobiles. We don't want to make the law a hardship, but we are mak ing it respected. We turn loose a good many more people than we take to the police station, and for every one we take to the station, the city gets $5. "The city ought to police the state house grounds at night. It is the re sort of many disorderly characters, ind many depredations of a most un pleasant nature are tolerated on these Trounds by the city. We have two ?uards employed by the state In the nate house, but they are busy inside the building most of the time."

Chas. yf&'-'-v.-: President of Switzerland and the Na tional Parliament House at Bern. The President of Switzerland Has Lit tie or no Power and no Pomp. HAS LITTLE POWER. President of the Swiss on a Par With Some American City. New York, Oct. 24. At this time of presidential elections, the Americans are especially interest ed in other republics. During recent years the power of the president of the United States has gradually in creased until today it is doubted whether any monarch of a world pow er has more influence in his country than has our same president in demo cratic America. An interesting contrast to this phase of republican government is seen in Switzerland. The president of Switzer land has no more power and not much more pomp than a mayor of a second class American city. The government gives him $2,500 a year as recompense for his high labors and his elevation to office is of no more consequence to the average Swiss citizen than is the election of a congressman in the Uni ted States. Manv of them do not know Just who their president it. This is accounted for by the fact that the president is not elected under the same system as in the United States, where each man votes, or thinks he votes, directly for the president and makes a personal study of his qualifications In Switzerland the president is chosen by representatives and is usually un contested, the rule being for the vice president to succeed to the office of president. The Swiss have taken a particular pride in the parliament house at Bren, which is certainly magnificent and worthy of that diminutive, though sturdy, republic. RAID BILL BOARDS. Blanche Boise Loads Crusade and Paints Out Beer Signs. The crusade against the whisky and beer signs which have been posted on the bill boards of the city has been taken up by Blanche Boise and her followers who operated on eight of them last night during the drizzling rain. The name of the advertiser and the words whisky and beer as well as the faces of the men and women used in the advertisement were daubed with red paint. The bill board at Twelfth street and Kansas avenue was one of the first visited and the party then proceeded to the board located at Twelfth and Jefferson streets and the beer signs on this board were treated to a liberal coat of red paint. The night paint ers then proceeded to the northeastern portion of the city and the boards on Fourth and Fifth streets tell of the visits of the night artists. There are two boards on East Fourth street; two on West Fourth street and two more on East Fifth street which were treat ed to liberal decorations of red paint. Influence of a Bad Watch. Does the theory that one person in fluences, subconsciously, other persons extend to inanimate objects and sub jects, and will a watch of irregular person wearing it and contaminate j that person? is the psychological Ideal Feels J. Smith, City Manager. 807 Kansas Avenue. 1. AT .lliOT'f.r. '-3 III 1 over which M. W. Mather, millionaire. Is studying. Mather owns a silver watch that he found somewhere and retained, al though of no practicable value; per haps it cost $10. Mather also has to employ a bookkeeper to keep track of his income that is, he has had sev eral bookkeepers, but not at the same time. Each bookkeeper has come well recommended and possessed of exem plary habits. When the first bookkeep er who figures in this story took the position he had no watch, so Mather loaned him the silver watch that had been lying in the safe. The watch had distinctly bad habits it would not keep track of the time correctly. Pretty soon Mather began to hear reports about his bookkeeper which, while entertaining, were not edifying. If such a thing were pos- smuic, nc was outdoing the watch in irregularity, and consequently was al lowed to resign, and another man was given the place. The newcomer was a man of great promise, and as a mark of his confi dence, Mather allowed him to carry the watch. One day this bookkeeper failed to appear on the scene, and an examination of his accounts gave a key to the reason. The investigation that followed proved that he had been sowing a large and fruitful crop of wild cereals. Then came bookkeeper No. 3, and in his case it was the same story as with No. 1 and No. 2, and he had to go. "I have another bookkeeper," said Mather yesterday, "but the watch is where we cannot possibly get it. and so long as he is in my employ he is not going to get it.

There is as much difference be tween Mr. Howe's moving pictures and the common variety as there is be tween a Morocco edition of Shake speare and a ten cent paper back novel.

The remarkable success of Ben Hur is not to be wondered at, for what is more potent to the imagination than a well acted play? What more con ducive to a reminiscent itinerary through the broad paths of history than a sumptuously mounted stage, one gorgeously equipped and most gener ously supplied with realistic and in geniously contrived mechanisms, so prolifically and wisely furnished by Klaw Erlanger in this play? Biblical history is not so generally studied, perhaps, as it should be in this materialistic age, but nevertheless its more pertinent facts are not en tirely obscure in the darkness and tangle of our doubts and regrets, and as the first allegorical curtain arises on this spectacle, all latent interests are sure to be aroused in the once mighty city of Jerusalem, and some thing of our youthful admiration is brought back for the Rome of the Caesars. Probably the most talked about fea ture of this drama is the great chariot race scene in act 5. A rumble is heard in the background, the hurrying clat ter of hoofs, and then the race is dis closed to the audience. The chariots, each drawn by four horses, form the center of the marvelous nleture.

One of the biggest bookings of the season which will appear at the Grand o i ver 7', and which ia er wel come here, is Charles B. Hanford of Shakspearian fame, who will play the leading roles in "The Winter's Tale." Brewster's Millions. One play which is sure to receive a royal welcome from the local theatri cal public is Brewster's Millions, which will appear at the Grand a little later in the season. The story is an old one and most of the'theatrical public f are familiar with it, but a little sum mary would probably not be amiss. Monty Brewster is left seven million dollars by his uncle on the condition that he spend a million which is al ready his own within a year. This will of his uncle's is filled with instructions and conditions. Biewster gladly ac cepts the job, however, and during the next twelve month period devotes him self to spending the million. His nu merous adventures make a very lively story and there are many moments of suspense and many unexpected and conflicting scenes before the happy finale. At Tlie Majestic.

Snow has fallen in Kansas so early but twice before the present storm in 25 years, the heaviest fall occurring in 1898 when the snow fall measured 1 S-10 inches. The snow of the past 36 hours marks the passing of low shoes for six or eight months, but no serious complaint has been heard, not even from the shoe dealers. The Commonwealth Ladies' Orchestra of Boston, the second number on the Pipe Organ Lyceum course, will give a programme at the Auditorium this ev ening. People who were compaining last week of the dust should not object to the fall of the beautiful today. There is not a speck of dust on Kansas ave nue this evening. "I knew that she could sing if she would Just get down to brass tacks," suggested a woman in the audience who heard Calve last night after she had rendered Dixie as an encore. The registration books at the office of commissioner of election, Captain Titus indicate that 11,463 Topekans desire to cast a ballot at the election which will be held on the third day of next month. Topeka Post No. 71, G. A. R., will hold an open meeting at the G. A. R. hall on East Sixth avenue this evening to which the members of the W. R. C. and Sons of Veterans organizations are invited. The members of the Democratic state committee who gathered at the Throop hotel Friday afternoon reminded the old-timers of the days when that hotel was known throughout the state as TiTTineratie headauarters. The snowflaked atmosphere and drop ir. the merenrv readings of the past lew days have started another flight of ducks and wild water fowls southward and a few of the bunches are crossing the state in the vicinity of Topeka. NTinetv ner cent of the practicing at torneys of Topeka have endorsed the candidacy of J. Schenck for county at torney, in the face of the fact that he is Democrat and more than 80 per cent of the lawyers in Topeka are Republi cans. "Much of the effect of T. A. Neal'3 political polls of the trains on which he rides is lost on account of his reputa tion as a humorist," is the suggestion of a Topeka man who believes that Mr. McNeal is gathering material for an other edition of his "Aesops Fables up to Date." There is at least one fcood position In Topeka which has gone a begging and is yet open for the right man. The directors of the Topeka Midwinter Ex position company are loath to abandon the enterprise which was built largely through the energy of R. S. Brigham and want a man who can fill his place as secretary. The Civic University club will hold a meeting at the Olympic theater Sunday evening, October 25, when The Sa loon, the Slum and the Persistency of foverty, will be discussed. Addresses will be delivered by James A. Trout man. Dr. L. A Brunk and Professor Rork of the California university. The registration books show that 11,463 old and young men are eligible to vote at the coming election. Thi is the largest number by 1,283 that ever registered in this city. Of course Topeka is getting larger, but interest in the coming election as, well as in creased population, played a part in this record-breaking registration. There are few ineligible voters in the city at this time. Secretary Lerrigo, of the Central T. M. C. A., has extended a special invi tation to the boys of Washburn col lege and the Topeka high school to at tend the lecture which will be given in Gemmell hall this evening by Dr. Win field Scott Hall, professor of physiolo gy in the Northwestern University Med ical college. Admission will be by tick ets which can be secured from Mr. Ler rigo at the Central Y. M. C. A. build ing. Frof. Emil C. Wilm of Washburn col lege will read a paper at the regular meeting of the Jayhawker club Mon day evening on the subject, "Some y fnriiTTiiiiiiiirMi '1g 7 m 11 mi i Phases of Modern Psychology," In which he will deal largely with the mod ern theories of the mind. Homer Hoch, son of the governor, and Chas. Wieren gra, secretary to Judge Benson, -were elected to membership in the club to take the place of Geo. Overmyer and Dr. Outland, removed from the city. City Attorney Drenninsr has decided that it is legal for the council to ac cept Robt. T. Kepley's proposition to repair all excavations in the pavement. lie question of the legality of repair ing the pavement along systematic and thorough lines had been referred by teh council to the attorney. One of the members of the council's street and al ley committee said today that he fa vored the plan of the citv hiring a paving inspector by the year and make it part of his duties to see that all re pair work was properly done. This councilman will offer a resolution to this effect at the next council meeting. Councilmen Stanley. Jordan and Tandy, of the special committee ap pointed by tne mayor to rechrlsten the names of a dozen streets in the city, have held one meeting without reaching any result. It is a hard job to straighten out some of the many named streets in the city. Then, again, the people living on a street are inclined to object to a change of name. It creates confusion. But like a plunge into a cold bath, the after feeling is most satisfactory. There should be no two streets in the city Dearing tne same name nor no sin gle street bearing two or more names, as is the case here at present. The second number of the pipe or gan course at the Auditorium tonight will be filled by the Ladies' Common wealth orchestra, of Boston. The programme, unlike that of the first number on the course, promises a treat to every class of people. The national airs and Foster's sweet melo dies of the southern plantation days will be given, as well as the German and Scandinavian music liked by a few people. This is as it should be. The Auditorium is capable of seating 5,000 people and the taste of the ma jority should be considered in a big puonc entertainment. This orchestra is a famous musical organization. LAWYERS FOR SCHENCK. Nearly All Have Endorsed the Present County Attorney. Not only is the fight for county at torney In Shawnee county a clean-cut Issue between the "wet" and the "drys," with J. J. Schenck getting the suport of the "drys," but it is also a fight in which the lawyers of the city are greatly interested. Out of about 85 practising attorneys in Shawnee county, 73 have signed a paper agreeing to suport Mr. Schenck at the polls. Of these 73 signers, 66 are Republicans and Mr. Schenck is the Democratic nominee. It seems that for some reason, the Shawnee county bar lacks confidence in Mr. Humphreys. The report is that the Heim Brewing company has contributed $2,800 to help elect Humphreys and other "wet" can didates. A Topeka man who happened to meet Heim in Missouri some weeks ago, was asked by Mr. Heim how the campaign was progressing in Shawnee county on county attorney. "It looks to me," said the Topeka man, "as though Schenck was sure to win." "I'm sorry to hear that." Heim is re ported to have replied, "for I contrib uted $2,800 to the other side. I gave $2,500 first, and then contributed $300 more." It is also reported that other brew eries have contributed to the fund which is being used to boom the "wet" campaign in this county and that the aggregate amount of money dumped Into the fund is in excess of $5,000. This fund is said to be for the purpose of electing "wet supporters regardless o politics. The report is that the com mittee which is handling the fund will use it in behalf of Humphreys, the Re publican candidate for county attorney, and Frank Sims, the Democratic can didate for sheriff. The following is the lawyers' petition which has been signed by the members of the Shawnee county bar: Topeka, Kan., Oct. 16. 1908. We, the undersigned, attorneys and members of the Shawnee County Bar association, hereby indorse the admin istratlon of John. J. Schenck as county attorney of Shawnee county. Kansas, and pledge him our support at the polls, believing the best interest of this county will be served by his re election: Joseph G. Waters, president Shaw nee County Bar association. Otis S.

BABY ENTERS PROTEST A woman -who had used the same baby carriage for several children, and who are now too large to be wheeled In a baby carriage, took her youngest child out for an airing, sev eral days ago. She was wheeling the child down one of Topeka's pretty residence streets when suddenly one of the tires came off. The lady did not notice it until baby became restless and began to cry. TJpon seeing- the condition of the wheel, she came to the conclu sion that the carriage had about served its usefulness, and started down town for a new one. On the way down she met a friend, and com menced telling her about it. Her friend then told her that she had saved her carriage from the scrap pile by takino- it the U. S. Cycle com pany, and having it retired, and that It was now practically as good a new. Instead of buying a new carriage, the lady profited by her friend's sug gestion and still uses her old one. C. J.

Miss Chrlstabel Pankhurst at Ivrft and SPNf NIGHT U JAIL. Mrs. Pankhurst and Daughter in a Strenuous Suffrage Campaign. London, Oct.-24. The two most in teresting figures In the recent "rush" of parliament by the suffragettes were Mrs. Pankhurst. widow of Dr. Fankhurst, long a prominent barrister of Manchester, and her enthusiastic daughter. Miss Christabel. This mother and daughter spent the night in the Bow street jail, accused of a breach of peace and thereby became the heroines of suffragettes. They had been summoned to appear in the court in the morning, but refused and in the eVening surrendered themselves too late for a hearing and so became martyrs by being placed in prison. The Pankhursts are leaders in the "votes for women" crusades and were founders of the Women's Social and Political union, which gave vigor to the present strenuous campaign. Miss Christabel is herself a bachelor of law and is a well educated lady of high social standing. When she asked to be called to the bar her plea was denied and she then began her cru sade which has for its object equal rights for women. Miss Pankhurst is a very attractive young lady. She has curly light brown hair and deep gray eyes. She is rich in her own right and gifted to adorn any sphere In life, but has given up every ambition of a social nature to the same plane with men. She has secure recognition for all women on been arrested several times before. Old Diplomat Is Dond. Washington, Oct. 24. Phillip W.

Sloore Advises Against "Rainmaking" Says Govprnnipnt Has Tried All Experiments. WILL It A IN VERY SOON Relief in Burning Districts Promised by Weather Chief. Wm. Rockefeller' Preserves Threatened by Flames. Albany, Oct. 24. Willis L. Moore, chief of the United States weather bureau at Washington, today advised the state forest, fish and game com mission against trying the so-called rain experiments, including the. ex plosion of balloons, which were sug gested as a possible aid in fighting the forest fires in the Adirondacks. He sent this statement: "The government has tested the power of explosives both at the sur face and in the air and has found it useless. If experiments are made they will be misleading, for rain is falling in a number of states to the south and west of New York and there is a strong probability that this rain will spread over New York and New England today. Forester Pettis notified the state commission from Saranac that the flames were spreading and he feared they would reach the preserve of W. Rockefeller. He also reported fires at Floodwood and Derrick, and said the fire at St. Regis mountain was serious. CABINET WILL BETbUSY. An Members to Enter Campaign Next Week. Washington, Oct. 24. As a result of. Friday's cabinet meeting every member of the president's official family will go out some time next week to make political speeches in the states where there is doubt as to the outcome of the campaign in favor of Judge Taft. The president ear nestly discussed the situation with six members of his cabinet and at the end of the meeting it was learned that each of these officials next week will make several campaign speeches. Postmaster General Myer will leave here Sunday next and will speak at Paulding and Sandusky, Ohio; Be laire, Md. Trenton. N. J., and Boston. The campaign engagements in Vir ginia of Senator Depew have been cancelled and the senator will take the stump in more doubtful states. Secretary Root, who had expected to speak only in New York city next Saturday nignt. will speak in Cincin nati next Wednesday night and at Toledo on Tuesday night. His en gagement to preside at a meeting in Carnegie hall. New York, Friday night, has been cancelled, but he will speak at the Riding academy meet ing in that city on Saturday night. October 31.

Secretary Root made a special call on the president after the cabinet meeting had adjourned. When he left the White House he was asked whether the fact that he was being sent to Ohio to speak was not an admission that the situation there was in danger for the Republi cans. He admitted that the Ohio situa tion was somewhat "split up." The secretary was asked his opinion re garding the situation in New York state. He said that New York was ab solutely safe for Taft and that it would give him almost as large a vote as it gave President Roosevelt in 1904. KILLED HIS RIVAL. Former Suitor Interrupts Bridal Tour by Slaying Young Husband. New Orleans. Oct. 24. On her bridal tour, which had begun scarcely one hour before, and seated in a railroad coach almost between her husband and a former suitor for her hand, Mrs. Fred Vaningen, last night, saw the flash of the suitor's revolver, felt the sudden grip of her husband's hand as the bullet struck and killed him, and then turned and fought for her life. When the girl appeared about to be a victim of a second bullet from the re volver, her uncle rushed ud and thrust his thumb beneath the hammer of the revolver Jamming the mechanism and rendering the weapon harmless. This was the story which the pas sengers of the Texas Pacific "Can non Ball" told when they reached this city, but the principal actors in the tragedy most of whom are connected with Louisiana's leading families, have so far refused to discuss the affair. The former suitor is F. S. Beauve of Pla quemine. La., where he was taken from the train and placed under arrest. The husband was Prof. Fred Vaningen, a prominent teacher of Alexandria, La., and a relative of former Gov. Blanch ard. The bride is the daughter of James M. Rhorer, one of the leading officials of Iberville Parish, residing at Baton Rouge. Beauve is 24 years old and Vaningen was 23. The wedding took place Thursday at Alexandria. Beauve was in town hav ing arrived there, it is reported on the same day as Miss Rhorer. When the bridal couple left for New Orleans, he boarded the train also and after a time sat in a seat facing Mr. and Mrs. Van ingen, with the brida between him and her husband. Passengers say Beauve talked with the bridal couple Just be fore the shooting and that his manner appeared cordial. The young woman had clasped hands with her husband when Beauve suddenly drew his re volver and fired. After being disarm ed, the young man quietly submitted to arrest. Chapman 18, Clay Center O.

Approaching Election Still Exerts Some Influence, However. New York. Oct. 24. Bradstreet's to day says: Retail trade still reflects the influ ence of warm weather and the ap proach of election breeds conservatism as regards heavy buying and the pro jection of new enterprises. However, there Is more doing and more confident buying of raw material by manufac turers who apparently forecast a change for the better in the latter part of this year or the early part of next. The large movement of wheat to mar ket is responsible for the optimist tenor of reports from distributive centers in the northwest. Effects of the drouth are shown in almost total suspension of steamboat traffic on the Ohio river and its tributaries, the holding up of large quantities of coal along that stream, the prevalence of destructive forest fires and the low stage of water supplies. Reports as to collections vary, being best in the northwest and poorest at the south. The situation in textile lines is interesting and not without en couragement. While Jobbing trade is confined largely to small immediate shipment or fllling-in orders, there is fair activity in the Chicago district and farther west, where the breaking of the drouth has helped sentiment. In the cotton goods line one feature early waa a reduction in shirting prints, but later enlarged demand was reported for print cloths at Fall river and prices advanc ed from H to V cents. Confident buy ing by a large printing interest is the renorted basis lor the strengtn in ae- mand and prices. Raw silk prices are firm and there is more buying this week than for some time past, re orders of men's wearing goods are re norted of good volume but the feature In this line is probably that present purchasing is to fill in stocks. The leather traaes are quiei aim iietj ucm-lix-ks sole leather continues scarce while nrices of sole leathers are firm. shinments are behind the corresponding week a year ago and for the calendar year to date, tney are m smallest since 18S9. More interest has been developed in tv,o ir-nn and steel market and consid erable new business has been done in the east in basic pig.

Young Topeka Singer Menses Great Diva. The greater the artist, usually, the higher ihe feeling of responsibility best expressed In the French motto Noblesse oblige. Madame Calve Is no exception to this rule as was proved by the kindness and consideration shown by her to a young singer in To peka. Miss Viva Brown, 611 West Sixth avenue, sought an audience with the great diva after the concert last night at the Grand and Madame Calve made an appointment with her for this morning at the National. Mlsa Hrown has a soprano voice which her friends consider promising. Her teacher. Mrs. P. H. Adams, has high hopes for her pupil, and was eager to have the verdict of the great Calve. After hearing Miss Brown this morn ing Calve not only praised her voice highly but ercouraged her to continue her studies for the grand opera stage. "If you will come to France next year," she said, "I will teach you my "Iself. You have a beautiful voice. I lke It very much. You sing well In trench much better than I do In English. You have been well taught. Your voice Is very well posed. And you are pretty, too. 1 am sure you will have success." "Is that necessary to be pretty?" asked Miss Brown. "Oh, to be sure," responded Calve, promptly. "Very, very important. But you have a voice also and I hope you will go to France soon and study. I shall give you my address and when you come to France you must write me and I shall advise you about your studies, if you like. I am always glad to hear young singers and when I no longer sing, myself. I shall start a school at Montpelier. my home in France, where I shall teach, not the voice, you understand, but the acting, the expression, enunciation; all the other things which a singer must have In addition to vocal training." Miss Brown sang D'Hardelofs "Without Thee" In French for the great contralto. She gave the song in the parlor at the National and a few of the guests at the hotel overheard it. Madame Calve was In a street costume and wearing hat and veil. She greeted the young singer and her accom. panlst. Miss Fay Pohlman, warmly and graciously.

The woman Is said to be on her way to take posses sion of the corpse. Five months ago the man. wno was about fifty years old, died a pauper at the county hospital, leaving neither clew to his own identity nor to his relatives.

"We were notified by the Demon strators association, which furnished us the specimen, that tne body nad been claimed by a relative," said Prof. R. R. Bensley, head of the anatomy department. "So we took It out of the dissecting room and placed it in stor age to await the claimants. "I know notning or tne nistory or the Incident except that the wonian lives in California and that ahe held some Insurance on the man." THEY SOLD BAD EGGS.

Curry Seirze of Bel pre, in Edwards county, were also arrested on the same charge. This firm is accused of shipping 06 dosen eggs to Newton, of which 72 dozen were rotten. They pleaded not guilty. nad the case was aet for trial. A butcher at Cottonwood Falls, whose name was not reported to the department here, was arrested yester day for suing tainted meat. He plead ed guilty and was fined. t, At Leavenworth a couple of firms were arrested for selling- candy under false labels. Over the candy case one firm had a placard reading, "Pure chocolates," and at another place was a placard reading "Pure maple choco lates." The candy was Imitation chocolate and maple, and the original packages in which it came so stated. But the retail dealer had taken the responsibility of announcing that it was "pure" and will have to take the consequences.

The twisted iron work and beams had lodged firmly against the piers and the use of a capstan was necessary to remove the wreck.

He then went on the Kansas City and tried to hide out there but the officers got him and turned him over to the deputy sheriff. The flood in North Topeka last spring cost the city of Topeka in the neighborhood of $4,000. Of this sum nearly $3,000 was spent by the street commissioner in repairing the dam age, from the flood to the streets and walks and restoring sanitary candi tlons; $500 was spent for the river survey besides the work of Engineer Rodgers in preparing estimates of the cost of the proposed dyke system, and then the $200 Bpent In cleaning out the river channel. Yet it is re ported In some quarters that the .city of Topeka is not -co-operating with the North Topeka drainage board. This is a mistake. Mayor Green declares that the city has al ways helped the North Side In every way possible in its flood troubles and -will always continue to do so. It has also been reported that tha North Topeka 'drainage board had adopted the do nothing policy. This is an other mistake. Chairman J. B.

HORRIBLY MUTILATED Were the Bodies of Several Filipinos Killed by a Band of Moros. Manila, Oct. 24. In a desperate fight, prolonged for hours, which oc curred yesterday near Iligan, island of Mindanao, nine Filipino laborers and their superintendent, also a native, were killed by the marauders and four other natives were wounded. Whether or not the attacking Moros suffered any loss can not now be ascertained. The fight took place upon the Shep herd plantation. The Moro band, fol lowing the tactics usually employed by outlaws, atempted a surprise, which was so far successful that sev eral men were killed in the first rush. The Filipinos then rallied and after a bloody hand-to-hand struggle, drove the Moros to shelter, after which the battle was continued for several hours at long range. The bodies of the dead Filipinos were mutilated In a horrible manner. Before being driven off the Moros suc ceeded in firing the plantation and stores, which, with their contents, were' destroyed.

8 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATUEDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1908. POUTIGAIGOSSIP Only One Week More of the Campaign. Both Committees Will Make Special Exertions. NO FIGURES GIVEN. More or Less Uncertainty Hangs Over Headquarters. Tery Few Wagers cf Any Kind Are Made. Only one week remains of the presidential and state campaign of 1908, and during this remaining week, the rival state committees, whose headquarters are In Topeka, will put forth redoubled energy. The Democrats have doubled their force of stenographers within the past few days, and are getting ready to send out a final blast which will rock the foundations of the state, or words to that effect. At Republican headquarters there is also a general speeding up In all de partments, and great preparations are being made for the final appeal to the voters. The Republicans, as well as the Democrats, have several very Important documents which they are planning to put into the hands of every voter in Kansas within the next seven days. Great bundles of campaign litera ture, pictures of candidates, buttons, posters and campaign ammunition of all kinds. are pouring out of the headquarters to every section of the state, and the whole-battery of cam paign orators will put In double time beginning Monday morning. In spite of the Republican claims f 30,000 majority for Stubbs and Taft. and the Democratic claims for a landslide," no figures given, the im pression Is growing that neither com mittee feels confident of the result. That the Democrats are more hope ful of victory than they have been for many years past there Is no doubt. They are more hopeful than they were In 1896, when Bryan carried the state. There Is quite a! different atmosphere at Democratic headquarters than there was when Harris was a candi date. Of course each of those can didates professed confidence in his election, and each was defeated. But this year the Democratic confidence has been backed up by about twice as much active work at Democratic headquarters as ever before. There has been a bigger force of employes, a bigger lot of campaign literature sent out and a, bigger volume of cor respondence handled. Of course the. Democrats claim that all their reports are encouraging, but that is the same old story. It may be true and It may not. The fact re mains, however, that the Democrats have made a more active campaign In Kansas this year than ever before, and have apparently had no lack of campaign funds. Where they got such a large amount of money to spend is a question. The Democrats have directed a fight of a somewhat, personal nature against W. R. Stubbs, and have ac cused him of secret alliances with railroads, of tax dodging, of land swindling, and general Insincerity. It Is doubtful whether this fight had much merit In fact, but it has un doubtedly cut some figure in the campaign. The same might be said of the fight which the Democrats are making on the state tax law. That fight Is mostly buncomb. but it Is a shrewd appeal to the prejudices of the voter, and may influence people who are not careful in weighing the evi dence. The Republican campaign has been mainly a defensive campaign. They were In the saddle, and seeking to prove that they should be allowed to stay there. They have defended their legislative and executive record, and the record of W. R. Stubbs. They have not claimed to be making any great gains in strength, but have In sisted that they would certainly hold their own. The aggressive campaign of the Democrats in the state affairs, while It has been skating close to the brink of demagoguery in some instances, will probably take some votes from the Republican party, while the popu larity of W. J. Bryan will probably nlloe off another section. It Is neces sary for the Democrats to change only fifteen or twenty thousand Republican votes to wipe out the normal Repub lican majority. That they almost did this in the Harrls-Hoch campaign gives reason to think that they may be able to do it again. Nevertheless, the chances favor the Republicans. There is no apparent reason why Bryan should have any more strength in Kansas than he did in 1900. and there Is no evidence to show that the state wants to repudi ate the excellent record of Stubbs and the Republican party during the past two years. Most of the bets which have been made have been on the malorltv of 5"aft and Stubbs In Kansas. The Dem ocrats do not seem anxious to bet that Botkln or Bryan will carry the state, though there is said to have been one bet of SI 00 placed at the National hotel a few nights ago on the proposition that Bryan would get Kansas.

The meeting was called for the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of the reports which have been received by letter and wire dur ing the past two or three weeks. Every chairman present at the meeting gave a glowing report of the conditions in his county, and if Kan sas does not slide into the Bryan col umn the Democrats of Kansas will be the worst fooled and disappointed bunch of men on earth. There was not a bad report in the lot. and a number of them were so encouraging that they do not seem to be possible. The reports of the members of the committee indicated that a number of things are responsible for the many changes which have been reported, and Indicated a Democratic land slide. The bank guaranty plank in the Democratic platform, as well as the Stubbs tax law, is responsible for a. great many changes among the farmers of the state, the Democrats asaert. The Bryan sentiment is abroad in Kansas, and it is accounted for in hundreds of ways, no one of them more satisfactory than the other. There really was no reason for calling the committee together at this time other than the faet that Chairman Henderson Martin wanted to reasrure himself that the optimistic reports which he has been receiving are cor rect. He is satisfied now that he has heard the cheerln gwords from the throats of the chairman of nearly half the counties In the state. "It was an old-fashioned love feast," said Secretary Pepperell; "such a one as I have not witnessed In years. All of the boys brought with them the figures which indicate nothing short of a Democratic land slide. There was not a bad report in the entire lot, and the enthusiasm of the chairmen of the various committees is certainly en couraging to the office force here In Topeka. as it confirms the reports which have been pouring into this of fice daily for weeks." William F. Sapp of Galena, was in Topeka, Friday, to attend the Demo cratic conference. He also called at the state house to get some ammuni tion for the fight which the Democrats are making on the state tax law. Colonel Sapp was in Topeka once be fore on a tax mission. That was last summer. He appeared before the board asking it to raise the assessment on th farms in Cherokee county. He had a righteous complaint and the raise was made. Now ColonI Sapp is going out among the farmers of his own county and abusing the Republicans for lifting the assessment on their farms, which he, himself, pleaded for before the tax commission. Asked today how he reconciled his words to his actions he said: "I am not trying to. I am simply giving the Republicans hallelujah and the easiest way seems to be on the tax proposi tion." Atchison Globe: Capt. John Seaton was in Alton. 111., last week, where he attended the fiftieth aniversary of the debate between Lincoln and Douglas. Captain Seaton heard the debate, and stood within ten feet of the two fa mous men. At that time he was unde cided whether he was to be a Republi can or a Democrat. He says that Lin coln was so convincing, and "got so much the beter of Douglas, that he de cided in favor of the Republicans. The fact that he heard the debate, and that he attended its fiftieth anniversary is one of the proudest recollections of his life. ANOTHER EXPLOSION. Bomb No. 23 Destroys a One Story Building In Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 24. Bomb No. 23 was exploded early today, after the policemen placed, on watch in all parts of Chicago, since the renewal of the bomb outrages, had gone home. It did more damage than any of its predecessors, practically destroying a one-story brick building in Four teenth street Just east of Michigan avenue, occupied by Bernard Marcus, as a saloon. Firemen who were asleep in their quarters across the street. were thrown from their beds by the explo sion, which tore out most of the front and completely wrecked the Interior of the building. Patients In St. Luke's hospital were aroused and a slight panic prevailed. for that building was shaken from basement to roof, and only prompt work by the nurses prevented disor der. Marcus, the saloonkeeper, told the police he was at a loss to explain why the bomb had been placed on his premises. He declared he had built the place only a month ago. A man who refused to give his name to the police was arrested near the scene of the explosion. He said he was at Sixteenth street and In diana avenue wnen ne heard the ex plosion, and ran to learn its cause. He said he saw a man running away, but when the police began question ing him he became confused and would not answer. He then was ar rested, W. C. T. U. MEETING. National Organization Still Has $8,500 on Hand. Denver, Col., Oct. 24. Today's ses sion of the National "Woman's Chris tion Temperance union, which opened Its thirty-fifth annual convention In this city yesterday, was devoted almost ex clusively to addresses, although 10 min utes were given to reading proposed amendments to the constitution. Most of the addresses were on the work of the union during the past year and partook of the nature of reports from superintendents and state organ izers. "Juvenile courts, industrial education and anti-child labor." was the subject of an address by Mrs. Minnie U. Ru therford of Arkansas. Judge Benjamin R. Lindsey of the Juvenile court of this city, Mrs. Rose Woodallen Chapman of New Tork and Mrs. Zellah Foster Stevens of Illinois, also made adresses. The evening session will be devoted exclusively to the Toung Woman's Christian Temperance union and the Loyal Temperance Legion. The Junior L. T. L. demonstration will be in charge of Mrs. Ellen A. Day ton Blair of Colorado and the senior program will be conducted by Mrs. Margaret Wlntringer, national secre tary of the L. T. L. branch. The Toung Woman's C. T. TJ. dem onstration will be led by Miss Rhena G. Mosher, national general secretary of the "Y". branch. The treasurer's report showed a to tal receipts of $75,594 and disburse ments of $66,997. This leaves a balance on hand of $8,697 as compared with balance of $5,084. year ago. HAS GOMECORD Capt. W. S. Albright Appointed by Three GoTernors. New Commissioner Began as a Bank Examiner.

Royce, Who Will on February 10 Retire From OfUflice of State Bank Commissioner. Mr. Albright is probably the only man In the state house who enjoys the distinction of having been appointed by three different governors of the state. Albright was appointed first by W. E. Stanley to a position as bank examiner, and later, when Bank Com missioner Mort Albaugh resigned to become clerk of the United States court. Governor Bailey appointed Capt. Albright to fill out the unexpired term. Mr. Albright served five months as bank commissioner during the last of Bailey's administration and the first part of Hoch's term. When Governor Hoch appointed John Q. Royce as state bank .commissioner, he gave Capt.

Dupont, the powder manufacturer, learned that Wilow shoots two to three years of age made the best charcoal. It is most porous. Fetid .breath, whether from stomach or teeth, pyrosis (or gastric pain), diar. rhoea and constipation simply cannot exist under the action of charcoal. Charcoal oxidizes all gases, or in other words, changes foul smelling odors into oxygen, thereby doing away with all foulness and rendering even such gases beneficial to the system by giving it more oxygen.

Mr. Royce took the place, and so Albright lost his change to Temaln at the head of the department.' But he was too valuable a man to lose, and Mr. Royce persuaded him to resume his place as assistant.

My appre ciation of your fine abilities and pecu liar fitness for this position, which In duced your appointment in the first place, has been more than vindicated by your splendid management of your department during these four years, and especially during the past year, the most trying experience, perhaps, any man in your position was ever called upon to pass through. The way you handled affairs during this trying ordeal has won for you the admira tion of all who know the facts You kept a level head when even old, ex perienced bankers lost theirs.. You exhibited rare Judgment countUsss cases, and great tact and unwearying patience through it all. "For the first two years of your term there were no bank failures In this state, and even during the strenu ous times to which allusion has been made, in the last half of your term, only five of the 759 banks of Kansas closed their doors, and two of these, I understand, paid depositors In full within sixty days. This is a gratifying statement, and I feel that it is on y Just to vou to say that this remarkably small loss has been pwing largely to your wise management, for It Is known to me and to others, that your pa tience and tact and rare good Judg ment saved many frightened institu tions. 'I can not help recalling that during the panic of '93 and '94, one hundred Topeka, Kansas. To the Voters of Shawnee County I am a candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic Ticket and am very anxious to receive your vote and active sup port. Some years ago I was a Deputy Sheriff, am familiar with the duties of the office, and believe I can fill it to your satisfaction. A man holding that office should conduct himself, both as an official and a citizen," in a manner to command the respect and good opinion of the people. The time has gone by when a public official can say: "I will attend to the duties of my office, but it is no one's business what I do away from the office.,, The public demands that a man's private life should be as pure as his public life. If I am elected I will perform the duties of the office as the law provides, without fear or favor. The statutes will be my guide, and every effort will be made by me to enforce them. Anything" you can do to assist me will be thoroughly appreciated, and I promise you that you will have no cause to regret it! Yours very truly, Frank B. Simms. and twenty-one banks were closed in this state, .while in the very similar panic of the past year onlv the small number above met a similar fate.. To your reassuring and encouraging words is largely due, also, I think, the restoration of confidence which has been demonstrated in recent months by the wonderful Increase in bank de posits in this state averaging $100,000 per day for the last 90 days. "I believe I am voicing the senti ments of all the bankers of Kansas in expressing to you upon your retire ment from office these cordial words of appreciation. Cordially yours, "E. W. HOCH."

Stratham of Jackson, Miss., who, the police assert, has made a practice of fleecing hotels in various cities, was arraigned before Judge Gemmill yesterday charged with passing a fraudulent draft at the Audi torium Annex. He pleaded guilty and was fined $150. The draft was for $200 on the Fourth National bank ot Atlanta, Ga., against the C. H. Stratham estate.

Trio Arrested and a Confession Is Secured. Kansas City, Oct. 24. The career of the three men who held up the crew on the St. Louis San Francisco train, out of Olathe, Kan., Thursday evening Just as it was entering Rose dale, was short. At 4 o'clock yester day afternoon the two middle-aged ones and the one young one were facing each other through the bars of separate cells In the Wyandotte county Jail In Kansas City, Kan. The names they gave were: William' Shea, Frank Murray and Roy Slak. The stolen property was found on them. At an early hour yesterday morn ing three men corresponding to the description of the three train robbers given by Conductor E. C. Butcher, were put off a freight train in Pleas ant Hill, Mo. They were arrested by Constables B. D. Stephens and Charles 8. Bailey. At the Jail the two men and the boy were searched. Two revolvers, two gold watch es, a razor, two pocket knives and a few cents of change, constituted the collection taken from them. In the Jailer's office, where the searching took place, an odd thing occurred. Conductor Butcher had Just been called over the long dis tance telephone at Kansas City and was giving the constable the story of the holdup. As he spoke, Bailey, who was receiving the message, passed it along whenever he got a chance, to others near him. The prisoners were intently listening to every detail. "He says," called out Bailey, "that after the men left the car he slipped both his hands free from the cords." "That's a He! No man could have slid his hands out of those things the way they were tied!" came in a shout from Murray, the largest of the bandits. Then he collapsed in his chair and would talk no more. At noon yesterday Sheriff J. E. Por ter and Conductor Butcher arrived at Pleasant Hill. (The latter identified the prisoners, especially Murray, w,ho, he said, trussed him in -the car. The watches, knives,, etc., were likewise identified as belonging to the conduc tor and brakeman. "Not much money in their haul," Butcher said last night. "Probably they got as much as $1.90. One of the thihgs found in their possession I can positively identify, although it did not belong to anyone but the bandit. That is the big revolver that covered me. "I remember one of the things that puzzled me at the time of the hold up was how the deuce two men and a boy could manage to get that article through our narrow door." EGG YOLK GOES TO FISHES. Collector of Customs Disposes of a Large Shipment. New York, Oct. 24. By throwing into the sea 1,052 cases of so-called "egg yolk" the collector of customs has decided the long controversy be tween importers and the government. A great quantity of this matter has been Imported into the United States from China for a number of years. It is used in making custards, pies an(? other products of bakeries. Three years ago a large consign ment was held up by the authorities under the pure, food .law on the claim that excessive quantities of borax were J WHITEKER BROS.

Dell Travis, state fish warden, came in from the Central Branch line of the Missouri Pacific today, and with his fish car, "Angler," went west to Pratt to stock up the car again at the state fish hatchery. "I placed about' 10,000 fish in the streams along the Central Branch," said Mr. Travis. "I stocked a great many streams, but especially the north fork of the Solomon.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 24, 1908. Th World's Biggest Problem. The International Sunday School Les son for October 26 is, "The Joy of 1 xcivenea." Palm 32. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. There is a popular picture of the crucifixion which doe' not show the actual crosses- of their -victims at all, tut lytng athwart toe hill, t Carvary, beneath the feet of John ami Mary and the surrounding, crowd, appear the shadows of the three crosses. The power of the picture lies in what it suggest rather than what it tells. It suggests rather "than what it tells. It not equal to depicting that supreme tragedy itself. In a- somewhat similar fashion, this Psalm of Fenlteaee which is assigned for present study, reveals the shadow of David's great situ siaco It would not be well to concentrate the ffaxe of Sunday school scholars up on the henious offense itself. There is no theme in the Holy Writ upon which, it is easier to gather Illus trations from, contemporaneous life than this one of a great sinner suffer ing from deep remorse- The reader may tura to the ether pages of the present issue of this paper, and he will find some illustration of the awfulness of stu. What sham and sorrow and crim follow in the trail of this partic ular sin of David's. Every day it hurls victims into suicide's graves. It puts the black demon of fear upon the backs of men. It extinguishes the sun of insoeenc. and blots out life's beau ty, ft crowds the divorce courts of the land. It drives mothers and wives into th shamed seclusion of brwken heartedraess. Plainly, we do not have to turn to dusty commentaries to find lessons from the sin ef David. The King can Do No Wrong. David at this time was in the hey day ef his success Be was eminent as a monarch and as a servant of Jeho vah. If he were to -fa, -it would be like some of the crashing disaster of recent American history, wherein men have topsled from positions of highest religious trust. It must not be forgot ten that David's desires had wandered before his feet. He had given free course to evil imaginations, and they led him to captivity. He, like many another man since, thought that he had a right to indulge his evil medita tions and his wanderiag desires. What a revelation it would be if we could see the pictures painted-on the cham bers -of imagery of the people with whom we touch shoulders every day! There is nothing more terrfble In mod ern life than the occasional glimpse we sometimes catch of the charnel bouses that exist In some human minds. The essential fallacy of the present popular teaching that life is all sweetness and beauty, and that' man Is as divine a God, is shown by the actual facts of any neighborhood. Teachers of thia sort of philosophy need to spend half an hour in Intimate relation with the life in any shop, or mill, or club-house, or place of free and Informal concourse. If a person can persuade himself that it ts right to give rein to his im agination, he finds little difficulty in believing that it la safe to follow his dream by his deed. Whether David convinced himself by any such reason ing as that "the king can do no wrong" we cannot know. Certainly he proved to be an eminent exponent of the mod ern fad of the sovereignty of desire by which route enter nowadays short lived "affinities," while wedded wives are driven out of the back door. Our modern kings, the rich men and their sons, who think that they have a right to all that their eyes desire, constitute one of the gravest problems of our western world. Would to God that more prophets would rise to point a finger of personal condemnation at these powerful sinners, who feel them selves above the moral law. "Be Sure Your Sin." By a perversion of the word of wis dom, it is popularly taught that sin will always be found out. Now this is not so, even though it is true that sin generally is found out. More impor tant is the teaching of the Scripture, which is "Be sure your sin will find you out." This is a different matter altogether, and far more serious. What a neighbor thinks concerning your conduct ts of small weight as com pared with what your own conscience will think. Remorse, like a grinning fiend, will confront you night and day; It will haunt your feats and mock your merriment, and you will be ready to cry with smitten. David: "My sin is rver before me." This profound truth has been a popular theme with some of the world's greatest writers. It runs through Shakespeare, Milton, Dante and Hawthorne. Most of all is It found in the daily newspaper. There Is scarcely a week passed without some "tragic incident creeping into print, of a victim ef remorse being driven into confession or the mad house. The Escape from Torment. I have watched the sad-faced pil grims at Benares making that 40 mile round of shrines. I have seen them descend the bathing ghats and lave in filthy pools; and perform rites with offerings and oblations. All this does not necessarily mean what we fre quently read Into It, but it does mean that for these Hindus existence is hard, joyless and intolerable, a burden to beencaped. Of all the faiths of heath endom the best offers nothing better than a final merging into an imperso nal Nirvana. They present no such re demption as constitutes the supreme glory of the Christian religion. For Jehovah forgives sins. That Is the unique characteristic of our faith. To David it cams like a great and glo rioua discovery. He learned, as he lay roaring beneath the strokes of the punishment of conscience and Provi dence, that with Jehovah ts forgive ness and mercy. God, he found, will blot out sin, and remove It as far as the East is from the West: and he will remember It no more. This is the gospel of peace: "Let the wicked for sake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah and he will have mercy uuon him: and to our God. for he will abundantly pardon.

"They are forever bringing up past of ences.to mar the present peace. God better way is to wipe the slate clean. He forgives; and closes the transaction. That is why there was need of Calvary. If man was to be happy it was essential "that some plan should be devised for the bearing away of the intolerable load of sin. Some consequences of sin can no mora be ecaped than scars can be erased; but this burden may easily be borne when one is sustained by a sense of pardon. I once met a convict In the Tennessee State penitentiary who was smiting when he told me that he was In for life. I quickly rejoined. "Then you are a Christian." "Yes," he said, "I am. In a drunken fury I killed a man. The state is now pun ishing me as I deserve. But I have made my peace with God, and am paying my debt to society, and am happy." No matter what one's lot. the knowledge that he has been tor given of God and Is at peace with him is a deep-springing joy, like unto no other happiness In life. Even after such a sin as David's the pardoned penitent can cry: "Blessed Is he whose transgression ts forgiven. Whose sin Is covered." PERSIA IX THE LIMELIGHT.

For decades and cen turies she Attracted little general at tention, and had come to be remem bered chfefty in connection with the ancient glory Persia the great, the world conqueror, had sunk Into an obscure despotism. She was ap parently out of the. path of progress. The world's great high ways of commerce and inter est passed by her. She was looked upon as one of the somnolent and de cadent nations. The average newspa per reader could scarcely tell in what part of the world Persia lies. Now all is changed. The electric current that seems to -be energizing, the spirits of the older peoples has swept through Persia. At present she is "on the wire," In newspaper parlance, almost dally.- The tumults of revolution and reconstruction rend her. Progressives and reactionaries are cannonading eah other In the streets of the nation's capital. All is uproar and turmoil, as the world looks on wonderingly and uncomprehendingly. Tet the student of nations Is calm; for he perceives that the bloody rendings and pains and shrieks are but the accompani ment of the birth of a new life. The people have been granted a constitu tion. Self-government Is In sight; and the country is so determined to pos ses this glorious reality that It Is will ing to right for it. What is the yeast which has raised this great ferment in Persia? Let us admit freely that the new Ideals or liberty, and of the dignity and worth and possibilities of the individual man, Introduced by the missionaries, are in good part responsible for the new spirit in Persia. Of course the news papers have found their way Into be nighted empire, and the reports of emigrants have been powerful factors, also. But these are only indirect ex pressions of that same new life which the gospel produces. Wherever the teaching and spirit of Jesus are car ried, there they are certain to beget new independence, new courage, new love of liberty, and a new power in the assertion of the Inalienable human rights. Because Persia has been granted a constitution, it must not be supposed that her troubles are over and her needs ended. Now, as ever before, she requires the lightening counsels of the gospel. The missionaries, who have been her truest friends in the past,' have more opportunities for usefulness now than ever. In this crisis time, when lives are imperilled, it behooves all lovers of the kingdom to remember at the throne of grace the men and women who are laboring in Persia for the coming of that kingdom which is more glorious than any constitutional government. Fidelia Flske was great because she greatly gave herself to God and to Persia. The present emergencies of the old, old ideals of liberty in Persia, for which it would seem many men have vainly given their lives m the past, re call the great truth which Albion W. Tourgee expressed in his poem: I am dust! Altho He slay. Tet will I trust Through all the fray In Him So boasted one. Breasting a battle Just begun. The noon tide came. The soldier faced the sheeted flame. Defying weariness and woe, And giving ever blow for blow. From out the din and dust Of that world fray He shouted still. In accents shrill; "Altho he slay. Tet will I trust!" The tilg-ht came down. Lo. stark and prone The warrior lay. Above him thronged The tide of tiiose who smote and wronged. The fight was o'er; the wrong had won; The earth no better, now 'twas done! His blood soaked up the dust; Valor and strength were vain. "Altho He slay, yet will I trust!" And he was slain. Dews Kissed the plain; Sunshine and rain Washed clear the blood-soaked dust; Flowers sprang above the dead. And mocked the silly soldier's trust; Wrong flourished, and the world for got That he had lived. But once again Earth echoed with the strife of men Above his grave the flag was set For which he fought; beyond it rose The banner of his ancient foes; -Clean through the nameless, molder Ing crest The steel-shod banner-pike was prest Again the soil ran red with blood; i Again the field with dead was strewed; Again the shout of victory rose: j Right triumphed now o'er fleeing foes! j Above the level, unmarked grave Loud peans echo, banners wave: While, mingled with the roll of drums A murmur, faint, exulting, comes From out the 'sanguined dust. The voice of a forgotton day; "Not vainly did I trust. The He did slay!" The history of Persia runs back to Old Testament times, when she con quered Israel. Now the day seems dawning when the new Israel wHl make Persia subject to her king. The "new woman" is finding many strange careers for herself; but which of the most ambitious of these has dreamed of a career greater than that of the woman missionary, who delib erately immunes herself In the foun dations of a new nation Fedelia Fiske chose to "bury herself" in Persia: and, lo, her life is emerging in a greatness and power that shines increasingly with the passing .days. Miss Fiske was born In 1816 and died in 1864. It was Mary Lyon who gave her much of her missionary en thusiasm. She went to Oroomiah In 1843, and was the first unmarried woman to en ter that field. In 1858 failing health compelled her to return to the United States; but those fourteen years were full of blessed achievement. When the missionaries reached Per sia there was only one woman In Oroo miah that could read. Miss Fiske founded a seminary which did a won derful work. The first Syrlao word she learned was "daughter," and the next was "give," so that she could say, "Give me your daughters." Her pupils studied the Bible three hours a day. Almost all that came within the circle of Miss Fiske's in fluence became Christians. One vil lainous Koordish chief, who brought his daughter to the school, was con verted before he left the premises. The seminary enjoyed twelve revi vals within its first nineteen years. Often the scholars would spend the entire night praying for their relatives. Another great missionary of the ear ly days was the heroic physician, Dr. Asahel Grant, who did a magnificent work among mountaineers. He died in 1844, of typhus fever, while minis tering to his people whom the Turks and KoordB had driven to the plain. The Coneregationalists and the Pres byterians began the Persian mission Jointly, but in 1871 the erreat task was assumed by the Presbyterians alone. In 1872 Teheran was occupied by Rev. James Bassett, and a great mission to the Armenians and Moslems was be gun. Amos R. Wells. NEWS AND NOTES. The Bible Is now printed In four hundred and eighty languages. The famous Fifth Avenue Presbyte rian church, of New Tork. will cele brate its centennial this fall. The recent death of John B. Farwell In Chicago, at the age of eighty-three, brings to public attention the fact that he was the man who "discovered" Dwight L. Moody. The Mohammedan pilgrims to Me dina, which is the second holiest city of their religion, may now travel all the way from Damascus to Medina by railway. The road is beinff extended to Mecca. The world's Christian Endeavor con vention, which was to have been held In Agra. India, in January, 1810, will be held November 20-23, 1909. The change In date is to accommodate trav elers by certain special steamers. Famous liquors haye long been pre pared by the Benedictines, Carthusians and other Roman Catholic monks. Now the pope has ordered these brew Ing and distilling orders to print on all their labels the statement that his hol iness grants a partial indulgence to all teetotlers. A new development In social settle ment work by college students is the daily "Vacation Bible schools; twenty nine of which were maintained during the past summer in New Tork, Chica go, Philadelphia. Providence and Al bany. Between six and seven thousand children were enrolled. Meetings for religious Instruction, industrial educa tion and wholesome play were held in church buildings, and taught by volun teer college student workers. The reach of the recent Imperial trade of the sultan of Turkey, restorlgn the constitution of 1876, has not been grasped by the public. Jerusalem Is held by Turkey, and consequently un der Moslem sway. The announcement of the granting of a constitution, with its Drivlleges of religious liberty, cre ated great excitement In the city of David. Sheiks, priests and raoDi aeiiv ereed speeches denouncing the old re gime, and Moslems. Christians, Jews, Samaritans and Armenians Joined In a triumphal procession. The South India United church has been formed as the latest of denomina tional unions. It comprises the Con gregationalists of the Madura and Jaffa missions of the American board, the Travancore mission of the -London Mission society, the Madras mission of the United Free church of Scotland and the Arcot mission of the Reformed church in America. The new denomi nation represents 22,000 .communicants and 140,000 adherents. The notable feature, ecclesiastically, of the union is the combination of Presbyterianism and Congregationalism. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. They are never alone that are ac companied with noble thoughts. Bir Philip Sidney. Count yourself a millionaire If you are well and strong. Charles B. Jef ferson. This world's no blot for us Nor blank; it means intensely, and means good; To find its meaning Is my meat and drink. Browning. He bears misery best who hides It most. Greek. Let every occasion be a great occa sion; for you cannot tell when fate may be taking your measure for a lar ger place. Anon. Thy fate is the common fate of all Into each life some rain must fall.

Theodore Parker. RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Gems Gleaned from the Teachings of All Denominations. The great power In the world Is, after all, not money, but intellect. Rev. Joseph H. McMahon, Roman Catholic, New Tork RELIGION IN BUSINESS. We musi have religion in business. No spot is more sacred than where the business decides to do the thing that is square. Rev. Thomas Knox, Pres byterian, Aurora, 111. DANGEROUS MATURE OF HOME LIFE. The alarming feature of our home life is the failure of the famliy to be much together and influence one an other. Rev. Dr. B. Edward Toung, Presbyterian, Pittsburg. OUR NATIONAL SAFETT. Our safety as a nation is not in our soldiers, but In our righteousness. The nation and people that do not serve God shall perish. Rev. S. D. Paine, Methodist, Jacksonville, Fla. HARMONY. There -would not be so many divorc ed people in America if they had learned patiently to put up with each other's faults. Harmony is the thing that makes heaven here as well as hereafter. Rev. W. W. Bustard, Bap tist, Boston. THREE SORTS OF WINNERS. The man after God's own heart will understand that fellowship, humanity and the making merry with friends are signs of health and worth and earnest of winning. Rev. Dr. C. Ell wood Nash, TJniversalist, Los Angeles, Cal GROWING LIKE GOD. When one's heart throbs go out In kindliness, good will and sympathy and in all the gracious sentiments of brotherhood toward his fellows, then is he growing In likeness to his Father in heaven. And this conduces to .the common happiness. Rev. Junius B. Remensyder, Lutheran, New Tork. MAN'S DEVELOPMENT. Man does not develop in the highest sense until he comes Into a conscious need of spiritual attainment, until there is a hungering and thirsting af ter the fruits of the spirit gentleness, long suffering, goodness, temperance, love. Rev. Guy Arthur Jamieson, Episcopal, Tottenville, N. T. A VIEW OF SUCCESS. Success is by no means absolute. It is relative, a different thins- in each individual case. It is not competition one with another; It Is man's competi tion with himself. It is not what you have, but what you are; not a posT.ion, but a condition. Rev. Andrew Gillies, Congregationallst, Minneapolis, Minn. STANDING FOR THE RIGHT. The men who stand for the right because they know that nothlnsr can hinder the onward march of God and regardless of self and ease and favor. regardless of personal consequences. do the right as they see It are the men who write their names In indelible Ink upon the pages of history. Rev. John Brsklne Adams, Presbyterian, Brook- j lyn. j NATURE A BEAUTIFIER. j Let nature teach you to value' and strive for the beautiful. She abhors the ugly and seems ever seeking to transform it into loveliness. I have seen In the northern woods an old trunk half submerged out of which a cluster of flowers .was growing, as If nature were endeavoring to atone for and hide the unsightly. Rev. H. P. Dewey, Congregationallst, Minneapolis, Minn. WHO FRIEXD SHIPS ARE FOR. It often happens that a man's wealth spoils his possibilities of deep and di versified friendships, for It is among workers and never among Idlers that true friendships are found. Men who wadle about their clubs can never know the choice and enduring friend ships which arise among men who la bor and sacrifice together for the com mon cause. Friendships are for fight ers and not for loafers. Rev. Dr. Fenrt, Episcopalian, Boston. LOVE'S GREATNESS. Love Is greater than the wisdom of King Solomon. Love Is greater than the prophetic eye which can look through the black curtin which sepa rates the present and the events that will happen millions of years hence. Love is greater than the strength of the everlasting hills. Love Is greater than the highest triumphs of art. For If we have not love, no matter how great our Intellectuality may be, we are as nothing. Rev. Dr. Frank De Witt Talmage, Presbyterian, Los An geles, Cal. NEED OF THE MAN'S CHURCH. The church must rid Itself of hys terical emotionalism and appeal to the Intellectual side of the people. There Is need for the emotional element In religion, but when the emotions alone are played upon we get an effeminate and effeminating religion. That is one reason why our places of worship have become a woman's and a children's re treat and why men eschew churchgo lng. We want a man's church as well as a woman s church. All head and no heart gives us the cold, calculating rynic and sceptic. All heart and no head gives us the hysterical fanatic and the raving bigot. There must be a harmonious blending of these two forces to get the highest and best re sults for the church as well as for hu manity. Religion must free itself from the shrouds of mediaevallsm and ad vocate a twentieth century cult. So ciology must be made its dominant consideration. It Is the social ques tion, after all. that Is pivotal In the true relationship between man and man, and as long as we do not get the true relationship between man and man we cannot get the true relation ship between man and God. He serves God best who serves man most. Rab bi Tobias Schanfarber, Chicago. Bible Study IV. ACTS VIII. Chapter name Philip 8. Leading Lesson Ps. 107:2. Divisions- 1.

Critics may storm at the door of the strenuous president of the United States, but his second daughter, Misa Ethel Roosevelt, finds few critics, for she is universally beloved. Possessed of a fund of staple, old-fashioned com mon sense, combined with good looks and many accomplishments, this new favorite of Washington society is most popular. Miss Ethel is only a little past 17 years of age, which Is. indeed, young for a Washington belle o make her bow to society. Even the modest Miss Roosevelt, however, cannot brine herself to forego the honor and social distinction of holding sway over Wash ington's younger set for one season. She realizes fully this will be her last opportunity to do this from the White House and. has decided to make the best of her exceptional opportunity. To be the leader of Washington so ciety is on honor which Miss Roose velt has carefully studied and trained herself to. When the diplomats of the various countries with their various customs and social distinctions appear at her reception. Miss Roosevelt will know exactly what to say and what not to say to each. She Is proficient in three modern languages, besides her own tongue and can converse fluently In these. She will doubtless make a social record equal to that of her sis ter, Mrs. Longworth. j.Let's go forward to the main deck. "AH rlrht. Steward, call ns a t axiom.." Louisville Courier Journal.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1908. 11 LYDIA E. PIN KHAR'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND LYDIA E. PINKHAM No other medicine for Woman s Ills in the world has received such wide-spread and unqualified en dorsement as has Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. No other medicine has such a record of success for woman's dis eases, or such hosts of grateful friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound For more than 30 years it has been the standard remedy for feminine ills, Inflammation, Ulceration, and consequent Spinal Weakness. It has relieved more cases of Back ache and Local Weaknesses than any other one remedy. It dissolves and expels tumors in an early stage of development. Irregularities and periodic pains, Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges tion, Bloating, Nervous l'rostration, Headache, General Debility, quickly yield to it 5 also deranged organs, causing pain, dragging sensations and backache. Under .all circum stances it acts in harmony with the female system. It removes that wearing feeling, extreme lassitude, don't care "and "want -to -be -left -alone" feeling, excitability, irritability nervousness, dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness, flatulency, melancholy or the blues." These are indications of Feminine disorders, which this medicine over comes as well as slight derangement of the Kidneys of either sex. Women who are sick and want to get well should refuse to accept any substitute for Lydia E. l'uikham's Vegetable Compound.

Henderson Martin of Marion, chair man of the Democratic state central committee, who is making the big fight on the new assessment and taxation law, paid $15.64 taxes in 1907 with a valuation or $190 on his home property, and this year will pay $13.81, on a valuation of $950, a reduction of $1.87. This Is the announcement made in the Marion Record, Governor Hoch's paper, by John W. Gardner, chairman of the Marion county Republican committee. Mr. Martin's home is in Marlon and Mr. Gardner says that the Marlon county people who are making the most noise about the Injustice of the new tax law have nearly all had their taxes reduced. Mr. Gardner cites the following examples: W. H. Carpenter, Democratic can didate for state senator. 1907 taxes, $481; 1908 taxes, $440; reduction $41. Phillip Mehl, 1907, $336; 1908. $239; reduction, $96. D. H. Mehl, 1907, $224; 1908, $208; reduction, $16. The case of one man. Charles Skelenar. is cited, to show how valua tions have Increased without making much increase in taxes. In 1906 and 1907, Skelenar paid about $36 taxes on a valuation of $990; this year his valuation was fixed at $8,470. and he pays $42 tax. Speaking of the Democratic charges. Mr. Gardner says: "I take this method to Inform the Can You Afford One? If so, give a diamond. They never grow old and will increase In valne as the years pars.

I cite a few cases to show that my statements about the matter are correct.

The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives tho full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusiva afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole purpose. Oklahoma is now threatened with depredations by night riders. And wherever night riders ply their nefar ious trade it can be set down that things must be in an unsatisfactory condition. That explains the reason hy no one ever hears anything of night riders in Kansas. The argument presented by the rtate tax commission, to the effect that the new tax law will not Increase taxes to the extent of making any material difference in the amount of money the ordinary taxpayer will have to pay, ought to be positively convincing to intelligent persons. No time should be lost by the city's councilmen, or their special committee entrusted with the work of renaming certain of Topeka's streets. Many of the streets have duplicate names and this frequently leads to annoying con fusions. This is a matter which should have been attended to long ago, but once again it is a case of bet ter late than never. Contemporaneous campaign litera ture has been decidedly enriched by the recent letter of President Roose velt to Senator Philander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, in which Mr. Roosevelt asks some exceedingly pertinent ques tions of Mr. Bryan. And Incidentally Mr. Roosevelt makes it plain that ac cording to his ideas he has a perfect right to participate in the campaign. Kansas is in a rather paradoxical condition these days. She has been unfortunate in losing an efficient bank commissioner through the resignation of John Q. Royce, but she is also most fortunate In securing such an able successor through the appointment of Captain W. S. Albright to the place. He has the qualifications and exper ience which make-him an ideal man for the position. Every effort should be made by both sides to the controversy to avert the threatened, strike on the part of the Kansas coal miners who are up in arms because the powder furnished them has not the stamp of union labor on it. A continued strike by -the miners at this particular season of the year, Just when coal is becoming a decided necessity in various localities which get their supplies from the KarTsas fields, would result in serious consequences. Mr. Chafin, the presidential candi date of the ProhlbltIonIsts,says that If only one-third of the voters of the country who are believers in prohibi tion will vote for him he will be elect ed. But the thing that stands in the way of the success of the national Prohibition ticket is the fact that the believers In Prohibition are accom plishing their purposes through the medium of their representatives that they are sending to state legislatures, who are members of other parties. r Frank S. Monnetf; a former attorney general of Ohio, announces that he left the Republican party and became a Democrat because of the affiliations of the Republican party with the Standard Oil company. It's reasonable to suppose that Mr. Monnett will change his politics again, and soon, If he pays any attention to the charges wnicn are now being bandied round by the wholesale that the Democratic party has tied up with the Standard Oil crowd, which Is known to be on the outs with the Republicans. Sidney C. Tapp, the presidential can didate of the new Liberal party, whose platform demands woman's suffrage the Initiative and referendum, direct taxation and a few other things, ap parently Is blessed with a considerable amount of sound sense. He admits that the campaign, which has just been begun by his party, has been started a trifle too late for achieving any material success in the present campaign which is fast drawing to a conclusion. He does not even say that he Is sanguine for the future. McCutcheonhas a clever cartoon in a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune. It depicts Mr. Taft in the presidential chair saying: "Well, boys, what can I do for you today?" to a number of newspaper chaps who are sitting around him. This galaxy of writers Includes Mr. Bryan, representing the Commoner; Mr. Roosevelt, represent ing the Outlook; Mr. Hearst, repre senting his collection of journals; Mr. La Follette, representing the Wiscon sin Citizen; Charles P. Taft, represent ing the Cincinnati Times-Star and Norman E. Mack, representing the Buffalo Times. If the plans of some of the mu nicipal authorities of Paris are con summated the capital of France will probably soon cease to be the mecca of the frivolous tourists who descend each year in hordes to whisk away their time and- cash in the gay metropolis. There's an annual deficit of consider able size in the funds for the adminis tration of the affairs of Paris and it is proposed to make this up by levying a tax on the foreign visitors to the city. This will likely result in scaring all but the really wealthy visitors away and Paris will find herself just as bad off financially as ever. A SATURDAY SKRMON. What therefore God has Joined together, let not man put asunder. St. Matthew xix:6. This is the law of the Lord In re gard to marital relations as it was laid down by Christ to the Pharisees after he had departed from Galilee and went Into the coasts of Judea. He' made Just one exception to it and that permits a man or woman to put aside wife or husband if either he or she has been guilty of infidelity. But there are probably few of the precepts and admonitions of the Lord in the laying down of a moral code, by which most of the civilized people of the world have seen fit to govern themselves during many centuries, that are so utterly disregarded by the people, and of this country In particu lar. In this day of grace, as this one. And it is disregarded by them in a great measure because of laxity of the laws of the land, or of most of the states in this country, on the subject of divorce. Divorce, steadily increasing as it is with rapid strides all over the coun try, is one of the crying evils of this nation. Some sociologists go so far as to state that it 13 the worst evil, the most cankerous growth, that is gnaw ing at the vitals of this great country. And these contentions are made with good reason. It tears down the fabric of the home which is the great bul wark of any nation's civilization. It works untold injuries on countless In nocent children who are forced to grow up with a blight on their names, on their very lives. Its disastrous ramifi cations are extensive in numberless di rections which are so well known that it is unnecessary to enumerate them in this detail.' And among the states whose weak and flimsy laws on the subject of di vorce are encouraging the people to disregard their marriage vows is Kan sas Kansas that has grown glorious in many ways, Kansas that has so ma terially increased the welfare and prosperity of her people through the enactment and enforcement of a law prohibiting the sale of liquors within her confines. Kansas who likes to claim a front rank among the slates for the high morality of her people. The laws of this state, or the pro visions of the law regulating divorce, are a travesty on moral justice, an affront to decency. For almost any trivial reason under the sun a person who has lived in the state for a re quired period of time can secure a di vorce. That advantage is taken of this tissuey statute by the frivolously inclined and by others who would probably hesitate at asking for a di vorce if they did not know it could be secured so easily, is made evident by a perusal of the court calendars through out the state. They are filled with divorce cases, and none more so than the one right at home here in the district court of Shawnee county. The number of divorces that have been granted in the local court during its present term are enough to set the average person thinking that some thing should be done to remedy the alarming situation which has devel oped. Few states have such a drastic law as New Tork, where no absolute dl vorce can be secured unless one can prove the infidelity of the other.. Nei ther non-support nor desertion, two of the favorite excuses for divorces in this state, are good and sufficient rea sons. Husbands can be made under proper laws to support their wives and deserting husbands can be brought back to assume the responsibilities or go to Jail. And divorces because ot petty quarrels, called Incompatibility cf temper, should never be tolerated Divorces for all sorts of trivial rea sons such as are admissible under the laws of Kansas where either, or more generally, both parties to them are permitted to marry within an all too short a time, should not be permitted in a civilized community. One of Kan sas' greatest needs Is a more stringent and drastic divorce law. Many other states need it quite as badly and some states need It worse. And all the states need a uniformity in their di vorce laws. These needs will be met sooner or later and the sooner the better for this country's continued sta bility and the future of its rising gen erations. FRANKING PRIA1LEGE ABUSED It's about time that restrictions of Borne sort were placed on the privilege that Is generously accorded to con gressmen of having their mail In small and large quantities carried hither and thither throughout the country free of charge. This thought is suggested by some large post cards which are being re celved these days by Topekans and on the back of which is an extract of a speech delivered In house of representa tives by Congressman John F. Lacey of Iowa which is an extensive quotation from a speech by President Roosevelt on the trusts and tariff revision. On the face of these cards besides the ad dress is a notice that it is "part of the congressional record, free" and In the upper right hand corner is the "frank" of H. C. Loudenslager, M. C, which was evidently printed on the card at the same time that the rest of the matter was put on it. These cards have pro bably have been sent out by some agency of the Republican national com mittee, possibly the Republican state or county committee, and were evi dently mailed here in Topeka because there is no postmark on them. Certain ly one of them was mailed here because It was sent to a man at a new address which could be secured from no other place than a local telephone direc tory. To argue that it is a proper and legit imate use of the congressional frank ing privilege for a political committee of any party to send out campaign lit erature of this sort or anything else, for that matter, Is ridiculous. Here Is a piece of matter mailed in Kansas which was inserted in the Congres sional Record by an Iowa congressman and mailed here under the congression al frank of Congressman Loudensla ger, who represents the First New Jer sey congressional district In the hoifse of representatives. If that is not stretching the franking privilege beyond- all semblance of the bounds which were in mind when It was inaugurated, and which are reasonable, -what is It? If it did not cost money to handle every piece of mail why it wouldn't cost anything to run the postofflce de partment, and then, of course, criticism would be out of place regardless of the activities of political parties in prosti tuting the franking privileges of con gressmen. But every piece or man does cost something to handle and the ordinary mail of a congressman In sending letters, pamphlets, books, doc uments of all sorts, seeds, and what not to his constituents, Is an onerous enough burden for the government to assume. This mailing of matter in one state for political purposes under the frank of a congressman from an other state Is something which ought not to be tolerated. And there are oth er ways In which the franking privi lege might well be curtailed for it is most outrageously abused. JOVRIUL ENTRIES Many an alleged maid of all works was evidently made wrong. Maybe some men wear loud socks in order to keep their feet from going to sleej. It takes a typewriting machine to show the average man Just what a mis erable speller he is. y Although the summer season is over and winter is fast approaching, the un comfortably hot weather will begin because of overheated homes. Probablv the reason some girls greet each other so effusively when they meet is because- they are Jealous ot eacn other and one wants to muss up the other's complexion. A paper is issued by the pupils in the Russell high school which is called "The Bugler." And many a wail is tooted through it. This from the Lawrence World is as good as any Irish bull as was ever heard: Being afraid of a mob, the officers at Kingston, Mo., hung mur derer Filley to save his life. "I'm not very wise." a Sabetha woman told Ralph Tennal, "but when I see a bunch of my friends grouped together earnestly talking, I always join them. In this, way I'm sure that I am not tne suDject unaer dis cussion." At Emporia the church social is so strong that the Presbyterian ladies have already inserted this ad vertisement in the Gazette: "Remem ber, you can buy your Christmas presents at the bazaar and eat your supper with the women of the First Presbyterian church, December 12." A candidate at Paola went Into a drug store and asked a voter to take a drink with him at the soda fountain. "No thanks," the voter said, "I have Just had an ice cream soda." "Well, take a cigar, then," the candidate in sisted. "I don't smoke," the voter answered. "What will you take, then?" asked the obliging politician. "Well, if you insist upon my taking something," said Mr. Voter, "I'll Just take a good lead pencil." "I had hope to land an appointment of some kind after the election," mourns "Si" Chestnut of the Sedgwick Pantagraph, "but it's all off now. While helping the old lady fill the lamp the thing slipped and she spilled oil all over the only pair of pants I have. It was Standard oil and of course I can't get rid of the taint until it is too late. I will not em barrass the candidates, so have de cided to tender my resignation as an applicant for appointment." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. When a man asks your advice, he al ways tells you Just how he expects you to decide. When a barber shop porter shines a barber's shoes, does he get paid for it? Or does he do it as a professional cour tesy? It must be a satisfaction to a woman who has been stiff and well-behaved all day. to get her corset off at night, and scratch like a man. An Atchison married man says: "I love mv wife, but we are approaching a crisis: she makes me button her dress in the back every morning." A great many years ago. Daughter dressed by a little cracked mirror in the kitchen, so small that she couldn't see both her curls and her mouth at the same time, and she never did see the back of her head, or her dress below the neck. Now Daughter has mirrors full length, and has become a clever contor tionist in getting all views through them. If Daughter had to go back to the cracked mirror, would it be better for her? (Sug gested to the Lancaster Literary society for debate.) The steak was burned, the potatoes were cold, the bread was soggy, and a certain Atchison man had to wait half an hour for supper last night, in order to get such a fare. Then, when he tried to read, the lamp had not been cleaned, and the baby had torn up his paper. In dis gust, he threw himself on the lounge. and found he had thrown himself on the pet dog. which howled, and the women folks screamed. Then he scolded. "Father." a woman's voice said in the next room a few minutes later, "is al ways looking for something to scold about." QUAKER MEDITATIONS. TFrom the Philadelphia Press-1 The humbug seldom makes thing hum. The man who sneers at success is gen erally a failure. A matchless beauty should have no diffi culty in making a match. Time may have been made for slaves, but the convict also serves time. Even the most exclusive of men will take off their hats to the dollar mark- It's a ooor rule that won't work both ways. The kicker is generally headstrong also. Although he may have composed but one opera, the composer' can boast that he has written a score. Blobbs "A girl seldom hits anything she aims at." Slobbs "Yes. especially if fine tnrows nerseii at a young man. "Adversity brings out all there is in a man." remarked the Wise Guy. "So does a stomach pump," added the Simple -MUg. Tommy "Say, Pop." Tommy s Pop "Well, what is it now?" Tommy "If a man walks when his foot is asleep, is he a aomnamDUiist r J A YHA WKER JOTS KANSAS COMMENT CREDIT DUE THE PEOPLE. It is to the. credit of the people of Greensburg that there was no attempt at mob violence when Sam Bitler was brought to trial for the brutal murder of the wife of a neighbor. Bitler's crime, if he is guilty as charged, was in reality a double crime, either one of which is enough to arouse the sentiment of the people to a degree which makes unsafe the life of a prisoner thus charged. In communi ties where people were less stead" and orderly he might not have escaped so easily. There are mar communities where, when the evidence against him became known he would have been handled in a manner far diffrent from the one in which he had been treated. The people of the locality in which the alleged crime was committed were roused but although there was some talk of violence, better counsel pre vailed and there was nothing in the nature of a disturbance. It means more than many people think for a commun"- to thus check the sentiment against a man charged with a such a crime. People in Amer ica have a peculiar reverence for women not possessed in some coun tries. Here we honor our women above everything else. And when there is committed such a crime as the man in this case is charged with there is a demand that he suffer in stant punishment. And in keeping down any sentiment of a lawless kind and prevailing upon the more impet uous fellows who think only of the avenging of the crime and not of the lawless feature of such affairs, the people of that locality had done them selves credit. They have conferred a favor upon their neighbors in holding them in check, have saved their town, their county, the state and the nation a disgrace. There will not, it seems at this time, be any violence at Greens burg and the people there are to be commended. Salina Journal. THE POOR FARMER If there Is any class of citizens which need sympathy it is the farmers. Their condition is truly sad. They have nothing in which to live but large, handsome houses. Nothing for furniture but up-to-date fixings, with pianos on the side. No way to talk to their neighbors except by telephone. No way to get mail except by dally rural delivery. No way to come to town except in rubber-tire buggies or in automobiles. No way to pay their debts except by checks on their bank accounts. No way to get more money except by selling some of the alfalfa or wheat or stock on hand. No way of taking a bath except In a porcelain bath tub. No way to heat their dwellings ex cept by furnaces. No pleasure In travel except one or two trips east or to California each year. No prospect in the future to escape becoming plutocrats and capitalists ex cept by dying or giving away their money. By all means let us do something to ameliorate the condition of the farmer. Abilene Reflector. FROM OTHER PENS BACKSET TO DISARMAMENT. One of the possible consequences of the Balkan embroglio may be a tacit abandonment of all efforts look ing to disarmament or a reduction of fleet and army by the great powers of Europe. It would seem, in view of the consensus of opinion that the difficulties in the case will be equitably and peacefully adjusted, that the situation was eminently favorable to a cutting down of mili tary expenses. On the other hand, as the embroglio in its present aspect leaves no doubt, despite diplomatic denials, that there is a contest on be tween Germany and England, the Kaiser- working to reduce the prestige of his uncle as European arbiter, the prospect is that these two powers at least will continue In the competition of naval construction. Such seems to be the expectation of Europe, and what is more, the English advocates of a bigger army are availing them selves of the opportunity for urging a large increase of the British land forces. In the competition for the biggest navy. Great Britain has al ready a great material and financial lead, and the longer-ranged purse will count heavily for her as against Germany. When it comes to the army Germany has an advantage in that she has plenty of "conscriptable material. whereas nothing snort or a revolution of public opinion conld cause Great Britain to depart from the system of voluntary enlistment. Boston Transcript. THE BACK-DOOR CALLER. The frost? mornings have come, soon to be followed by the cold fall days, and with them come the hungry, ragged and humble back-door callers who seek nothing in particular, but everything in general. They got along pretty well during the summer when they were within easy reach of gardens, chicken coops and orchards and could prepare a sub stantial meal along the railroad track with the aid of an empty tomato can and a little fire and took the "fresh air cure" by sleeping under bridges and in empty barns. Life is not so easy now. The appetite is keener on a cold day and the light garments which were very comfortable during the summer must be replaced by warmer ones. To know how to dispose of such ap plicants is always a vexing question to the kind-hearted woman and the gen erous man. The amount involved Is always so small and the things asked for of so little value that we dislike to refuse and prefer "to be worked" in nine cases in order that the one de serving case may be aided. Louisville Courier-Journal. THE AMERICAN COLLEGE. The inaugural address of President Harry A. Garfield, of Williams college, was remarkable for the ringing an nouncement it contained of the chief end of the American college, which was described as the training of citizens to citizenship. Scholarship is good, health ful sport is good, excellent also is the stimulus to moral and spiritual culture, but the sum of these elements of train ing is the high conception of individ ual and collective responsibility of the well being of the nation. The education which the modern col lege confers is a great privilege, but the best part of its value is lost by the individual that regards it as only a privilege. The world's greatest scholars gave to education more than ever they had repel ved bv devoting their splendid powers to promoting the growth of knowledge from more to more. How closely allied the love of humanity has been to the love of learning is made manifest in the achievements of the wise and learned in enriching the world's stock of that power which is derived from knowledge. Boston uiobe. THE ONLY PIRATE. Pouring oil upon the waters Once was tnought a certain way To placate old Neptune's daughters When their anger had full play. Now that notion's a back number. For the waters rage and boil When awakened from their slumber By a dash of Standard Oil. In a calm the craft lay drifting On the Great Sea of Campaign, Their position never shifting. Showing neither loss nor gain; When a Pirate bold appearing Set them all in a turmoil With his scoffing and his jeering And his wicked Standard Oil. For he spattered Campaign Ocean, And he spatted all the craft. And he raised a great commotion. And he raked 'em fore and aft. Captains called each other craven; But they all began to toil To get to a quiet haven Where there was no Standard OIL Each one took the other's measure. And the lie passed frequentlee; And a purser with his treasure Walked the plank into the sea. But the Pirate stood a-grinning At the way he ha-d embroiled Both the sinned against the sinning On the sea he'd Standard-Oiled. THE EVENING STORY As Suggested by Norah. (By Matilda Henderson Wheeiock.) Ordinarily, the merry clatter of plans and kettles and the cheerful swish of soapsuds as Norah's dexterous hands manipulated the dishcloth, formed an enlivening accompaniment to the tender strains of "Kathleen Ma voureen," or the rollicking melody of "Rory O'More." But this morning no fresh young Irish voice caroled forth through the open window above her kitchen table, and the corners of Norah's wide, red mouth had a pathetic droop, wholly out of keeping with a nativity which unequivocally proclaimed itself in ev ery feature. Even the clatter and swish had a subdued sound, as though the pots and kettles and the soapsuds, realizing that sorrow had invaded their domain, were thus tendering a seemly acknowl edgment. This explains how it came about that another sound, also subdued and likewise indicative of acquaintance with sorrow, came floating in through the window and fell suddenly on No rah's ears. This was nothing more nor less than a muffled sob, and a single glance through the window sufficed to show that it had proceeded from the ham mock swung in the shade of the big crab-apple tree in the back yard. This hammock, supposed to be No rah's -own particular retreat in her hours of leisure, was now occupied by a tumbled heap of pink gingham, which lay with face forlornely buried in a weather-beaten pillow. Norah watched for a wondering mo ment the ebullition of childish woe, then dried her hands, wiped her eyes with a corner of her apron and has tened down the kitchen steps in the direction of the hammock. A deeper burrowing of the head into the pillow, a louder and more soulful sob and a more vicious output of the long, black leg, rewarded her initial in quiry as to the cause of anguish so acute. But presently the story came out Aunt Beth had broken her promise. Norah knew of the picnic this after noon at Watson's grove. Norah did, and futively wiped away two fresh tears as she made a sad little sound in her throat indicative of assent. For was there not to be a dance in the evening, and wasn't she herself to have gone? And now well, now she wasn't go ing, and something that she knew in her heart would-have been said tonight would never be said now! Weil, after promising positively more than a week ago that she, the aggrieved one, should go to this picnic in Uncle Larry's machine, along with Uncle Larry and Aunt Beth herself, she, the aforementioned untrustworthy Aunt Beth, had1 calmly announced not half an hour ago that, so far as she and the aggrieved one were concerned, there was to be not only no picnic, but no Uncle Larry! Now the aggrieved one knew that "Uncle" had been, up to date, merely an honorary title, and that not for some months yet was Uncle Larry to have come into full possession of the aggrieved one as a really and truly niece. This had been a matter of minor im port, since it hardly seemed possible that the emoluments ensuing from the possession of a truly uncle could be greater than were those of one so priv ileged as to own an Uncle Larry in prospectu. Supplies of candy and motor rides could scarcely in any case be more steady. There hadn't as yet been any picnics, for this was the first of the season. And now there wasn't ever going to be any picnic and no truly Uncle Larry! As this edict of Aunt Beth's, with all Its potential consequences came back to her afresh, the aggrieved one, emit-tin- a particularly vociferous wail and giving muscular vent to her despair in a final vicious kick, flung herself out of the hammock upon Norah's own grief-burdened breast. "Why. Norah. you're crying, too!" The aggrieved one's sobs under went a sudden cessation as she became aware of this heretofore unheard-of lachrymal proceeding on the part of happy Norah. "1 I can t help it. Miss; l m so so sorrv for Miss Beth," sobbed JNoran, making a futile attempt to siancn tne flow of tears on the corner or tne long suffering aDron. Sorrv for Aunt Beth! This was an entirely new and rather absurd view of the situation. "Why, Norah, what you sorry for Aunt Beth for?" "Because oh. Miss, because she don't mane it! She don't iver in the worrld mane a worrd av it!" More wonders! Not mean it! Why, if this were true, and Aunt Beth really didn't mean it. then there wasn't any body to be sorry for. The aggrieved one's voice had a sudden Joyful note of hope. "Oh. do you think she didn't really mean it, Norah? Then whatever made her sav it?" "Och. belike 'twas jist a foolish ouarrel jist a foolish, foolish quarrel an now she's like to ruin her whole loife be not givin' in! That's the way rnrrls be they'll be dyin' to make oop, but it's die they will before they'll give in! v An' the men be jist as bad, for they'll tak' her worrd for it an' sthay away, when if they had anny sinse at all at all they'd know the poor gurrl was givin' the lie to her own nearrt an' they'd mak' her own oop to it! Och, poor Miss Beth! All she wants is for him to mak' her own oop an" it's cry' In' her purty eyes out she is this min ute. I'll be wagerin'!" The aggrieved one slid to the ground and stared for a moment in open-eyed amazement at the expanse of green gingham flung in an abandon of mys ery over Norah's bowed head. Then she turned, scurried around ti the front and tiptoed softly up the stairs. It was indeed as Norah had predict ed. Aunt Beth was crying her eyes Iout. A big brown eye. applied to tne keyhole, corroborated the small ear's testimony. Aunt Beth must certainly be very, very sorry indeed if her pres ent apparent misery were any indica tion of the depth of her penitence. xiavmg ruuy satisfied herself upon this point, the aggrieved one, again on tiptoe, retraced her way to the low er hall, listened at the farther end until the rattle of pans and kettles proclaimed the resumption of Norah's interrupted duties, then sDed swifriv down the path to the barn and through a passageway into tne alley. Nor did she stop until she had traversed a dis tance of some blocks. The door of the ornate garaee which was her destination stood open. TTnoin Larry and the chauffeur were doing something to the big machine. bile didn't Tnean it. Uncle Larrv! She truly didn't mean it!" Uncle Larry brought a gloomy gaze to bear upon the small, panting figure which confronted him. Presently the gloom gave partial way to a look of bewilderment, and this in turn to the dawn of a half com prehension; which kaleidoscopic point being' reached, he stooped, caught the aggrieved one in his arms and set her in the tonneau of the machine. "Now, tell me all about it," he said. "Who doesn't mean what, and what authority have you for supposing she doesn't mean it?" "Aunt Beth. Norah said she didn't mean it." The big wrench in the hands of the chauffeur suddenly ceased manipula tions, an intricate part of the machin ery seeming at the moment to demand close and sileni scrutiny. Norah said girls were all like that; they'd be dying to make up, she said. and wouldn't. An' she said the men ought to make 'em; an' if they had any sense they would. She said she knew Aunt Beth would be crying her eyes out; an' she was. Uncle Larry, for I slipped up stairs an' she was on the bed with her handkerchief up- to her eyes an' she was crying like any thing. An' Norah cried so nard ner- self you'd 'most think she was the one that had quarreled witn you an want ed to make up an' wouldn't. An please. Uncle Larry, won't you make Aunt Beth let you keep on being my uncle? An' she'll go to the picnic, too, if you'll make her. Norah says that's all she wants Just to have you make her." Master and man exchanged a dart ing glance a sudden illumination on the face of each. "I'll drive the big car myself tnis afternoon, Nolan," said Uncle Larry. 'And if vou care to come over to tne picnic later in the afternoon and stay for the dance in the evening you may take the runabout." (Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated Literary Press.) The Fool in the Forest. Something more than mere senti- mentalism will move the Californian to rejoice that "The Mother of the Forest" of the Calaveras grove of big trees still stands in columnar majesty with her stalwart family of great- girthed, russet-mailed, emerald plumed giants. For a time it was iearea tnai these trees were iatea to perish irom the earth; that the flames -creeping out from a sheep-herder's pot-boiling campfire or the embers or a rooi "camper's" bacon-f rying contrivance would destroy the only living survival of the age beyond "the dawn of his tory." Happily this disaster was avert ed, and only the bald and ragged crest of "The Mother" was scorched; only another scar added to those already inflicted by time and the hand of God. Better bv far. tnat tnese age-aery- Ing monarchs should perish by the sil vering stroke or tne tnunaerDoit man that they should waste to cinders and ashes in the ignoble name or a lire kindled by a Slavonian goatherd or a grocer's clerk obtruding his puny presence upon nature in her solitude. When Abraham fed his flocks on the scant pasture of Ur in the land of the Chaidees, the giant redwoods of Cali fornia were vigorous shoots not yet bafked to record their age in annular growth, though centuries had elapsed since their seed had thawed from the cold embrace of the Ice drift; while the armies of Sesostris were de vastating the world from Ethiopia to the Indus the last of the post-Pliocene mastodons may have rubbed his gigantic tusks against the rough bark of "The Father of hte Forest" now prostrate and dry-rotted in the Cal averas grove. Dynasties founded to outlast tne memory of man have passed to ob livion since the seed of the sequoia winged its flight on the northwest wind to find its final resting place on the slope of the California Sierra; ra cial types have changed to fit "their shifting environment and mingled to produce a hundred new phaseB or hu manity since our redwood began to grow. So old are the ever-living redwoods of the Sierran forests that they have outlived the use of commerce. The centuries have eaten their hearts and they are no longer timber, they have ceased to be appraised in the lumber market; they are interrogation marks and exclamation points on the pages of the Book of Time. San Francisco Argonaut. Apparatus for Cleaning Horss. The vacuum machine as used for cleaning the furnishings of homes and office buildings has become a familiar sight in nearly all parts of the country, but such a machine used for cleaning horses is new to most people. The ap paratus consists of a vacuum pump, an electric motor or gasoline engine, a steel vacuum tank, a vacuum gauge containing a separating diaphragm, a number of vacuum combs and various connecting pipes and tubing. A horse can be thoroughly cleaned by the machine in from three to five minutes, while with the ordinary cur rycomb and brush the task takes from twenty minutes to an hour of vigorous rubbing. It removes all dirt on the animal's skin, cleaning both the sur face and the pores. Popular Mechan ics. At the Four Hundred's Feet. At the little party the stylish new comer juggled with great names so recklessly that by and by all the rest sat by silently listening. There seemed to be no member of the Four Hundred with whom he was not Intimately ac quainted. 'Who is he?" whispered one, "that he knows all these splendid people? Does he belong to the Four Hundred himself, do you think?" "Well, not exactly," explained an other who was in a position to know, "but I understand he has been chir opodist at the Waldorf-Astoria for a number of years. New York Press.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. rFrom the Chicago News.l Some specimens of the fair sex are most unfair. Men with lontc heads seldom possess long tongues. The man who marries for money de serves all he doesn't get. What is the matter with cold cream as the cream of society? A small boy Isn't necessarily Impecun ious because he is strapped. Persistency mav be a virtue, but It is hard to admire it in a fly. A man Is never sure a woman Is his friend because she says she Is. A tender conscience may be one that is not used often enough to harden it. By working for her husband eighteen, hours a day a woman fails to earn a lot of money. If n man is honest because It Is the best policy he will be dishonest for the same reason. The lovo of a man for his wife may be the real thing, but it doesn't seem to in terfere with his appetite. Before taking the bull by the horns you should complete satisfactory arrange ments for letting go at the psychological moment.
