FfLL LEASED WTOE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full dy teleeraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusiva afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nn! buildine; over wires for this sole pur. pose. Mr. Roosevelt's latest political epistle certainly puts up some convincing ar guments that Mr. Taft has always been the friend of the laboring man and that his election will be to their interests. One more difference between the theories of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft has developed. Says Mr. Taft, "If I could rot carry my own state. I would not deserve to be running for president." Mr. Bryan failed to carry his own state the last time he ran for presidential honors. Of course Taft hasn't yet car ried his own state. Something familiar In the way of par ables: And with the first real cold weather there came a gas shortage. Who or what's to blame? Poor, old Sciplo, of course. It's a good thing for some folks that Sciplo la not an ani mate being. It might take umbrage at the blame that Is heaped upon it and do a bit of effective swatting. Something decidedly unusual in the way of endorsements for political pre ferment Is the one v. hich has been given to the candidacy of John J. Schenck. for re-election to the office of county attorney, by the lawyers of the Shawnee county bar. Although Mr. Schenck Is a Democrat, more than 90 per cent of the 70 odd lawyers who have signed a memorial favoring his re-election are Republicans. This is an endorsement that Is highly deserved for Mr. Schenck has administered the duties of his office, trying as they are, In a most admirable manner. Tom Johnson, Cleveland's famous mayor, may be most properly pardoned these days If he reclines in his chair and muses to himself, or even out loud, on the ungratefulness of some people. For a number of years he fought with tooth and nail and finally with success for the establishment of a three cent car fare In his city and now the peo ple of the town, by a small majority, to be sure, but one which is none the less decisive, have voted down the franchise providing for this fare. This Is but one more Instance that it is im possible to foretell Just what the peo ple, like the Juries they compose, will do when they get a chance. Forest fires which have been devas tating various portions of the famoua Adlrondacks in New York state, are being looked upon with more concern than ever these days by the state au thorities. And the reason for this, well, they are threatening to reach the private preserve of William Rockefel ler. Many hunters, trappers, guides and small farmers who eke out preca rious livelihoods In these woods have had their homes and their means of livelihood wiped out of existence but, alas, there Is not much worry over them. It's different, though, when A mighty millionaire's private hunting and pleasure ground Is threatened with destruction. Mr. Myer, the postmaster general, has expressed the opinion that if pos tal savings banks were established here much of the money now sent by foreigners In this country to their home In Europe would remain In the United States. The postofflce records show that for the year ending January X, 1908. money orders having a value of more than nine million dollars left this country to "replenish foreign cof fers." Mr. Myer believes that if the postal savings system was put in op eration in this country a half billion dollars would be deposited In the postal banks within a few years and that this money would get Into the channels of trade through the medium of national banks. Chicago Is certainly taking time by the forelock and giving It a twist that other cities In the country should em ulate. Its city council Is now consid ering ordinances looking to a sane Forth of July the next time one rolls around. Now Is the time for cities to pass much needed ordinances of this character. If the matter Is delayed until somewhere near the time of the great event the dealers In fireworks al ways have the good plea to put forward that they already have their stocks on hand or on the way and any limita tion in the sale of fireworks would mean great pecuniary losses to them. And it is Just such pleas as this which have knocked out many a safe and sane Fourth of July ordinance which was under consideration by a city council. In view of the fact that the members of the president's cabinet can find time to leave their work at the head of the governmental departments and tour the country making campaign afeeches, and that It is also possible for many of the department chiefs un der them to do the same thing at the same time, it is reasonable to argue that there must be a superfluity of help In most of the government's depart ments and that the working forces could be materially curtailed without destroying the efficiency of the service provided the cabinet officers and their subordinate chiefs were compelled to remain at their desks and do an av erage day's work for which they are paid by the people of the country. Such a cutting down of the forces In various of the departments of the gov ernment would be In the interests of a much-needed economy because of the fact that the government Is continually running behind in its finances these days. A YEAR AGO. That the country has recovered magnificently from the effects of the serious panic of a year ago, with its mostt extensive ramifications and is now well on the road to a prosperity which many believe will eventually prove to be the greatest that this country has ever enjoyed is succinctly told in a paragraph in the current weekly financial review issued by J. S. Bache Co.. one of the most con servative and reliable firms of bankers in New York city and therefore in the country. It reads: "These are the anniversary days of the panic a year ago. and even a casual glance at conditions shows quick and substantial recovery. When it is considered that we are still un der the halting Influences of a presi dential election the progress seems even more impressive. Of the fifteen New York institutions which closed under the stress of last year, fourteen have resumed or paid in full, and the fifteenth has paid 90 per cent and will probably pay the balance. The stock market, which a few days later broke to its lowest, has recovered through a long series of declines and advances, and today industrials aver age about 30 points above the lowest figures, and railroads about 40 points. Credit was almost unobtainable a year ago and currency was at a premium. Today money Is loaning at unprofit ably low rates in the middle of the crop moving season. Industrial con ditions are steadily mending through out the country, and railroad earn ings are slowly drawing up to normal. The farming community will be fur ther enriched thi3 year with the pro ceeds of a great crop, and the entire west and south which comes at first in touch with crop money and pros pects, is feeling in business the stimu lating effects of new wealth distribu tion." LUCKY LAWRENCE. Lawrence has ever been pointed out as one of the unusual towns in Kan sas, unusual in many ways. And a re cent development shows that It is now entitled to be considered as an un usual city among all of the cities of the country. Of course, tHere are some who would say that its being an unusual city in Kansas would of neces sity make it an unusual city as com pared with others throughout the land. Be that as it may, it is none the less entitled to Its new distinction for unusualness. A local newspaper there has been delving Into things Vitti a tather deep spade. It has discovered, to its own satisfaction, at least, that the wages paid In Lawrence are fort"-flve per cent higher now than they were twelve years ago and that the cost of living has Increased but twenty per cent in that Interim. Cen3us bureau statistics show no such difference between the per cent of increase in wages and in the cost of living in any locality in the country. The increases in wages and in the cost of living according to the government statistics have been in most instances in about the same proportion and in others the greater increase has been in the cost of living. But maybe the census workers overlooked Lawrence. The personal experience of most wage earntrs, however, has been along the lines discovered by the census bureau and at first thought about every man j will express the opinion offhand that the cost of living has Increased much more rapidly than his wages, but this will be proved to be wrong except, possibly, in isolated instances. There's not the slightest doubt that wages generally have increased materially In this country during the past twelve years or so and neither is there any doubt that the cost of living has in creased on the same material scale. Nor can there be any doubt that Lawrence stands alone on an unusual plane in this regard If the figures presented by one of Its newspapers are correct. If they are, certainly the town that is also distinguished above all others In the state because It hap pens to be the home of the state uni versity, has been an elysium for wage workers during the past decade. All of them ought to have snug bank ac counts. I1EARTLESS ADVERTISING. And the government, the great gov ernment of the United States, can sug gest no remedy. This is disquieting news. It means that women all over the land will continue to go into hys terics and have badly broken and bat tered hearts for a temporary period of time at least, and all because of the familiarity of some folks who use the mails for advertising purposes. That women do have their hearts torn asunder for the time being and get so excited that they are afflicted with more or less serious ailments by certain kinds of advertising matter which is sent promiscuously through the malls, was called to the attention of the federal government by an irate father in the middle west. He was angry, and with good reason. His son-in-law, a traveling man, was' away on an extended trip, and when the father went to call on his daughter he found her in a flood of hysterical tears. She was nearly without reason except that she had made up her mind to pack her clothes and hurry home to mother, as she couldn't think of ever remaining longer in the home that her husband had provided for her, horrid, deceiv ing, dual beast that he was. On Investigation the father found that his child had been wrought up to her terrible degree of commotion and excitement by a letter which had come to the house for her husband. Probably, please bear In mind that the word "probably" Is used, the wife thought that the letter contained something of importance with which her husband should be acquainted, and which would not permit of a delay In cident to forwarding it to him. So she opened it and this is what she read: "Dearst: After you left me yester day I remembered that I had forgot ten to tell you But after getting thus far, which would be quite far enough with most women, the young wife fell Into her hysterical fit and was in that condition when her father found her. He, too, proceeded to pour out some venom on the head of his unworthy son-in-law, and then he thought It might be a good plan to look further Into the let ter and see what the destroyer of his daughter's happy home had to say. Imagine his pleasant surprise when he found out that If his daughter had read on In the letter she would have found it to have been nothing more than an advertisement which told of the merits of a certain patent medi cine. Of course, daughter was won derfully comforted when she learned the truth, but the poison in the open ing lines of the epistle had done its dirty work and she went to bed with an illness which lasted for some days. Then it was that the father took the matter up with the government at Washington. He thought that this sort of advertising was anything but proper in view of the temporary in juries it had inflicted on his high- strung daughter, and he thought right. But the government politely replied that no remedy for this evil suggested Itself. And more's the pity. Tho hearts of women should certainly not be tampered with, even by advertisers. JOURNAL ENTRIES A poor man's chances of becoming rich are Just about as good as they ever were, with the emphasis on "Just about." If a lad develops the habit of call ing his rivals in games harsh names he probably has quite a future before him in politics. Had a fellow a choice between a million dollars and a girl he'd be a fool If he did not take the million for then the girl would be easy. Most everybody has the idea that If he was blessed with the great sums of money some other person has he could spend It more intelligently. Although men may change their positions frequently they generally keep pegging away at the same old Job of working for the missus and the children. JAYHAWKER JOTS "Ingalls Hall" Is the name given the new auditorium at the Western Theological seminary at Atchison. Foolish query from the Wichita Beacon: The Kansas consumer Is wondering if the price of pork will come down In proportion as hog values tumble. "If the people of the. east had as much water In their soil as they have in their stocks," says the Abilene Chronicle, "they would have better crops and lower prices." Ralph Faxon's serial In the Garden City Telegram entitled "The Sand Hills Road" has now reached Chapter XXXII, and "the villain still pursues her," remarks the Hutchinson News. The Independence Reporter is mending its ways. It announces that hereafter it will "refuse to support for office any horsethief who hap pens to be nominated on our ticket." Evidently the people of Pratt county are true believers in the adage that there's nothing in a name, for a popu lar candidate for the office of county treasurer there Is named Mr. Swindler. A Kansas City man Is said to be figuring on sinking a coal shaft at Atchison, and Charlie Blakely perti nently asks: "What's the matter with the $300,000 coal shaft already there?" During the recent Jubilee week at Wichita one hundred and eighty thousand people paid fares on the street cars in that city. This is con siderable traffic for a place the size of Wichita. GLOBE SIGHTS. TFrom the Atchison Globe. We like nearly every sort of man better than a thoroughbred. It is never safe to tell a newly married man a secret; he'll tell his wife. After a boy passes twenty-one and still lives at home, people say: "That boy Is big enough to live at a hotel." An Atchison wife has become so far emancipated that sne carries a night key, and her husband hasn't any. The greatest trial in the world Is to have a trouble on your mind, and a guest In the house at the same time. As soon as a boy comes Into his mother's presence, she screams out: "How on earth did you tear your clothes!" We have yet to meet a man who admits that his life would have been ruined, if his wife had refused to marry him. Occasionally a man who has a nat urally cheerful dispositio'n depends too much upon it, and becomes gen erally worthless. Somehow a coffin, carried on a country road in a farm wagon, looks a great deal more horrible than when seen in a hearse. A widower who has one foot In the grave, has taken It out, and put it in a yellow shoe, and Is having his house painted bridal style. About the worst use you can put a man to is to stand him in a corner, and let him growl about what the city ought to "do" in the way of im provements. It was so dull in Atchison the other day owing to the snow storm, that every man who wore a new hat was compelled to explain why he didn't buy a different style. By "light refreshments" is meant the kind that wouldn't keep a man awake if he ate a whole barrel of them. "Light refreshments" also stand for the kind served when father Is tight with his money. Formerly, the hunters of this sec tion killed turkeys, and deer, and wild geese, and prairie chickens. Now about all they get is a mud hen occa sionally. In five years, they will come home with big bags of English spar rows. In ten years, there will be nothing left to shoot except grasshoppers. 1, I KANSAS COMMENT j OCTOBER. October Is a beautiful mosaic. The richness of the year Is centered In this month. It is glorious even to live and to breathe makes life worth while. To breathe. Just to breathe, to draw in a big draught of the rare October atmos phere and let It sift through the lungs is a sensation that makes life worth while. So many people are eye lazy They fall to see the beauty of the Oc tober day. I tls a waste that ought to be cultivated. It enriches life and it makes for the happiness of the human family. If we lived more In October, we would live better the other eleven months. If we drank in the beauty of this month we would carry with us the effect's of It to the end. Some peo ple cannot appreciate music, others cannot enjoy paintings, still others do not enjoy human society. The enjoy ment of these is set down as a "gift" but It is more properly a faculty and It can be cultivated. The lack of ap preciation of beauty is largely careless ness. It means that we are mentally careless. Having our attention called to the nature of the country often leads to education in that line and edu cation means development. The faculty is enlarged and our happiness added to. There is beauty even in the towns in October but to enjoy beauty at its best you must go out In the country. It is a rare privilege to be a political campaigner at this time. One can see so much that is beautiful. Law rence Journal. THOSE wiroFOLLOW. "After me the deluge," said Louis XV of France, and went ahead blowing in the substance of the realm; and the deluge came all-right. The people now inhabiting this coun try found it groaning with forests, and bulging with all sorts of treasures necessary to man, and these treasures have been squandered and wasted so recklessly that the people who como after us may shake their fists at our monuments, and pile tin cans on our graves. In order to preserve some small remnant of the nation's resources for those who are to infest this country when we are gone, we are diligently fitting patent time locks to the stable door, paying little heed to the fact that the horse has been stolen. It's a way of ours, as a people. Right blithely and merrily did we butcher the buffalo, which once swarmed over these plains, until one day we discovered that there were but three left, and the world knows how religiously we have pre served them, and exhibited them In Wild West shows, and Forepaugh cir cuses. And now, in order to husband a few wet elm and basswood trees remain ing, we are holding many banquets, and delivering the most soul stirring speeches and appointing committees to go Into the woods and put up "Keep Off the Grass" signs; and when our de scendants are trying to burn ice, and make houses out of clay, they must pause, however indignant they are, to admire the eleventh hour activity that we displayed. But there Is some small comfort for those descendants; Edison says that within twenty years, the heat of the sun will be so utilized that people won't need fires. So it may be that the wind will be tempered to the shorn lambs; and it behooves every man Jack of us to order in plenty of coal before the bad weather comes, Emporia Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS REMARKABLE COURTS MARTIAL. The fact that there have been sev eral courts-martial in the army and navy of officers charged with the habit cf drunkenness has called attention, in a way which is probably not deserved, to a situation which finds it possible for officers of such temperament and practice so long to resist disciplinary proceedings. In one case the reviewing authority, Gen. F. D. Grant, made known the fact that the offending officer had been addicted to drink for a long time, and in the other cases which have been recently or are now the subject of court-martial consideration the ac cused officers have been pretty well known for their intemperance. In at least one case it has been stated that the officer was conspicuous on account of the indiscretions which his indulg ence had caused. With the existing system of periodical examination for promotion it might very well be asked why these discoveries of unfitness have not been earlier made in the career of a culprit? Washington Herald. MAN FOR THE MANLESS MAID. We hear a ereat deal or did hear a great deal a few years ago about the need of the man for the manless land in the west. Nowadays, if we read the right columns we hear a great deal about the need of the man for the manless maid In the east. That is to say in the Tallrooms and drawing-rooms and at the opera. A writer upon the activities of the smart set in Washington, exclaims: For It seems that the demand for the "dancing man" and the theater going man, and even the dining man is so much in excess of the supply that the only requirement for eligibility is two legs in the case of the dancing man and two theater tickets in the case of the theater man, with ability to distinguish the functions of the knife and fork in the case of the din ing man. According to a Washington corres pondent the only manner in which the maid may caoture the man Is by tak ing him by surprise Over the tele phone and extorting a verbal promise that he will take her to the ball if she will send a nicely upholstered car riage for him, and "a girl feels that she should offer car fare to the youth who has been so good as to put him self to the trouble of calling upon her." Louisville Courier-Journal. CAMPAIGN OF PERSONALITIES. The campaign for governor of Illinois is described by a Chicago paper as one "of falsehood, slander and abuse." This situation. is in striking contrast with the state con test in Ohio. In this state, in spite of the earnestness of the fight, the best of good feeling has thus far been preserved. Gov. Harris in his daily addresses in the rural sections make no charges against the honor or ability of his opponent; Mr. Harmon expresses nothing but admiration for the character and Intentions of the governor. Aside from the "ginger" injected into the national campaign by the in tensely partisan letter of the presi- 1 dent ht is tnie of the state cam paign in Ohio is also generally true of the national contest. Both Mr. Bryan and Judge Taft appreciate the excel lence of the other and are ever ready to give expression to their apprecia tion on the stump. All this is dis tinctly encouraging. The American people are competent to settle state and national issues on their merits. Cleveland Plain Dealer. REFLECTIONS ON MARS. If Mars la filled with beings who are filled r. with brains and sense, why don't they let us know It, since our interest is intense?

Congo Fears Roosevelt. President Roosevelt's coming trip to SlZf- has started a general house cleaning among the administrative of ficers of the Congo Free State, accord ,Verner, who was active In the exploitation of the rubber and min eral concessions of the Belgian king, which are now being commercially de veloped by an international syndicate In which Thomas F. Ryan and the Guggenheims are largely interested Mr. Verner explained that the recent annexation of the Congo Free State by Belgium will add greatly to the value of all commercial enterprises In the country through the greater stability It will secure. In this connection he spoke of the effect of President Roose velt's African trip. "The mere announcement of the President's proposed visit has already produced a regular panic in the Congo," he said. "It has set them to a furious housecleaning. They may have thought that the financial interests of Ameri cans interested in that country would cause them to be careful about what they said and did In relation to this question. They -were mistaken about this, for on the field we gave them dis tinctly to understand that we would not stand for any such implication. At the same time, no doubt it was felt that the American interests in the country would be somewhat of a safe guard against international interfer ence. "The visit of the president, however, has thrown the fat completely into the fire. They will have the eyes of one man on them of whom they are more afraid than anybody else in the world. Of course the president may not at ail interest himself In the question, but I doubt very much whether he wilj be able to shut his eyes and stop his ears if he gets only within a few hundred miles of the Congo frontier. That Is why I say the anticipation of his trip to Africa Is leading to a pretty general straightening up of things all around. I regard it as. the best thing for Africa and the bravest and most beneficial In its influence on world-wide conditions of any of the President Roosevelt's ac tions, with the possible exception of the peace of Portsmouth." New York Times. Marriages by Proxy. If the investigations now In pro gress reveal that our law prohibits or makes no provision for "marriage by proxy," the obviously proper course will be to amend the law so as to remedy that oversight. Such mar riages have been recognized as legal and proper In most times and coun tries, by both church and state, and 'ertainly, on the theory that mar riage is a contract, there is no reason why the principals should not be per mitted to bind themselves, as they can In other countries, by the acta of duly authorized representatives. We are under the impression that such marriages have before now, though very rarely, been performed and recognized in this country. They are frequent in the annals of European royalty, and nobility, though even in those higher realms they seem to have gone out of fash ion in recent years. The change has resulted, however, not from any par ticular objections to the proxy by marriage, but from the fact that mod ern conditions of life are not likely often to make that form of ceremony essential to the protection of im portant interests or even especially convenient. Of course they were never much in vogue with the ordi nary people who married for reasons exclusively personal and, as it were, "of the vicinage." Naturally, Americans have had lit tle or no use for marriages by proxy, and that doubtless accounts for the fact that our laws make no explicit provision for them, but when cir cumstances do arise which, in the opinion of the interested persons, render it desirable that the hymeneal knot should thus be tied, arguments for not letting them do it seem to be entirely wanting. That marriages should have a certain degree of for mality and publicity is essential to the proper conduct of society, but it is decidedly- against public policy to put unnecessary difficulties In the way of those with a right as well as an in clination to "wed, and If even only once in a while young people, or old ones either, for that matter, find it expedient to enter into matrimonial bonds by the utilization of a deputy, why shouldn't they be allowed to do It? New York Times. Flics Can't Reach Them. "Did you ever stop to think what a great advantage those who occupy quarters on the upper floors of the big office buildings have in one re spect?" asked Walker Evans, of St. Louis. "They are not bothered by flies, gnats, mosquitoes, or other in sects. It has been pretty well proven that these pests never get more than 70 feet above the ground. so that occupants of the floors above the eighth or ninth can be comparatively comfortable In the warm season. It is not likely that those who planned the skyscrapers l;i the southern cities ever had this in mind, but It is cer tainly a fact that tenants soon found that the upper floors were the most desirable. Experts who have made investigations have discovered that the normal fly is unable to make a continuous upward flight of more than 60 or 70 feet. Of course, they can go from window sill to window sill and get up in this way, but flew flies are persevering enough to do this. Some are carried up In the elevators, but not enough to make mucn ainerence Baltimore American. WE EVENING STORY 111 Wind's Good. By Charles Graves. A flood of golden morning sunshine, streaming through the windows and falling full upon his face. awakened Tom Goodhue. It awakened him with a rather unpleasant start, and brought to his mind the disquieting suspicion that he had overslept. He came out of bed with a bound and looked at his watch. It was 9:30. Half past nine, and he had an appointment to go sailing with Helen Caverly at 9 sharp! Surely the gods of misfortune severally and collectively were follow ing in his train! He dressed in record-breaking time, bounded down the stairs, and, break fastless, made all speed to the long pier in front of the hotel, his mind busy with the many apologies he would un doubtedly need in a few moments. But the apologies were doomed, for the present, at least, to remain unspo ken; for when he reached the pier he saw, running out of the harbor before the smart breeze, a knockabout with a well known pennant fluttering from the mast. Evidently Miss Caverly had grown weary of waiting for him. Goodhue took a long, lugubrious look at the dis tant sail and groaned. Yet he was not the man to submit tamely to adverse circumstance. At the end of the pier lay hope in the shape of his own power boat, pulling at her painter as she swung to the tide. In a moment he had scrambled aboard, pulled the cover from the engine and turned over the flywheel. There was a series of sharp reports. He threw off the moorings, sprang to the little wheel In the bow and the power boat went tearing away from the pier, sending up twin waves of white spurme at her bow as she sped in pur suit of the distant knockabout. The engine of a power boat, however, is not one of the things to be classed among such certainties as death and taxes. Scarcely had he passed the can buoy on the outer ledge, when there was an ominous coughing of the ex haust. Immediately it grew spasmodic and seemed to take a half-hearted despair ing note. Then it ceased altogether, and, with this cessation, the little craft lay helpless on the long swells coming In from the bay. Countless precedent cases had taught Goodhue what to do. He pulled off his coat, caught up a wrench and attacked the engine, not without a certain grim wrath. At the end of half an hour, despite all his art and all his mad efforts with the wrench, the engine, beyond a few deris ive, choking puffs, refused to respond. Goodhue hurled the wrench angrily into the locker, shook a vindictive fist at the balky machinery and delivered himself of his opinions concisely and forcefully. Then he looked despairingly at the sail, momentarily growing smaller to the eastward, and ruefully surveyed the blue streak of shore behind him. not without certain poignant longings for breakfast. All his labors had merely succeeded In getting him stalled here in the mid dle of the bay. He grunted his dis gust, tied his handkerchief to a boat hook as an Improvised signal of dis tress and set it up In the stern. Then he stretched himself upon the cush ions and calmly went to sleep. He was awakened by rippling laughter. He Jumped up to And close alongside a knockabout with Its sail rattling sharply as it headed Into the wind. By. the- tiller was: Helen Caverly, her eyes sparkling Us she took in his plight. Goodhue struck a melodramatic attitude, one hand on his forehead, the other at his throat. "Help," he cried, nodding toward his distress signal. The girl laughed again. "What on earth are you doing out here so early In the morning?" she said mockingly. "Are you aware that it is but a trifle past 10:30?" "I am pursuing you," said he, "or rather I was pursuing you, until this this unmentionable engine went back on me." "And why were you pursuing me?" "I wanted that sail you promised me this morning." "I waited for you until long after 9." Goodhue grinned sheepishly. "I I overslept," he confessed lamely. "Then when I got down to the pier and found you gone I started out in the power boat without any break fast." "What noble self-sacrifice!" she mocked. "And I'd have caught you, too, but for that engine. It always breaks down when you want It most. How ever, you've seen my plight and come alongside, and that's the main thing, after all. We can have the sail now, can't we?" "Do you think you deserve it?" "Frankly I don't; but I'm going to trust to your generosity." She looked at him doubtfully for a moment. "Of course," she said at length, "I can't desert you like this helpless as you are upon the high seas. Come aboard. I'll tow you back. You must be very hungry by this time." Goodhue caught up the boat-hook, nulled the power boat longside the knock about and scrambled over her rail. In a moment the painter was fast, and towing the helpless craft behind her, the knock about was headed shoreward. The girl held the tiller. Goodhue sat down beside her. "I was particularly anxious to come out sailing with you this morning," said he. "So it would seem." she observed dryly. "There was a very particular reason why I Shouldn't miss It," he went on piaeidlv. ignoring her tone. "I wanted to finish out what I was saying to you night before last on the Gregory's piazza, when that idiot of a Benson came out and interurpted us." A wave of color surged into the girl's cheek. Her nose went up in the air a fraction of an inch. "Under the circumstances," said she, "considering the fact that I have Just rescued you from a rather trying situa tion, it seems to me no gentleman would take advantage I Goodhue moved closer to her. "No gentleman would have missed his appointment with you this morning," said he. "Therefore I am no gentleman; following out the same course of loglo, the fact that I am no gentleman absolves me from playing the gentleman's part of silence just now. I will take the tiller Helen." He took it. The girl began hastily trimming the sheet. "I am going to finish out that pro posal." he declared. "If you won't listen to me, I shall refuse to be saved. I shall return to the power boat, and trust my self to the mercies of these treacherous waters." he ended, looking tragically at the ciuiet sea about them. "Besides which." he went on. "kindly remember that I have had no breakfast. Will you listen?" The girl turned to him with flushed face, but her eyes were shining. "You certainly must have that break fast." she chuckled.

Some people won't steal as long as they can borrow. Does a man speak broken English Just because he stutters? Even the left-handed man may feel that he does everything right. It is sometimes hard for a man to be on the level and climb upward. We would all rather profit by the mis takes of others than by our own. Good habits require constant culti vation, but bad ones grow like weeds. The hen that has Just laid an egg cackles almost as much as a woman who has Just been told a secret. Virtue is its own reward, as the fat ted calf discovered when he got It In the neck for a prodigal son. "It's the little things that count," quoted the Wise Guy. "That's right. agreed the Simnle Muz.

"What's the use of giving up a sure thing for an un certainty?" replied the beggar. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. fFrom the Chicago News. Politicians who wear new clothes should not fling mud. A barrel of liquor contains a multitude of headaches. A man seldom appreciates a rose until he encounters the thorns. A man can flatter any woman by pre tending to be Jealous about her. It's hard for a lazy man to be truthful, for he Is happiest when lying. The girl with a scrawny neck naturally thinks decollete gowns bad taste. But for the mistakes made by great men. history would be awfully uninteresting. No sooner does a girl get into the wo man class than she begins to worry about her complexion. The young man who considers himself above his work will never occupy a posi tion that is above him. Some men think they could give the Lord a eood many pointers relative to running the universe. Probably nothing in the world arouses more genuine curiosity than the presence of a stranger in a country village. When a young man proposes to a gh-1 and she asks time to consider. It may mean that she wants to consider the ad visability of breaking off another engage ment. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. tFrom the New York Press. A man can run hla house well when his wife does it People are never hungry enough for it to enjoy warmed over love. Next to running the government a man is seldom sure what he could do best. The reason a woman likes to spoil her children is everybody warns her against it. The satisfaction a man has In losing his money on a bet is that his family didn't spend It foolishly.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBiTAL TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 27, 1908. POLITICAUJOSSIP Last Week cf Campaign a Busy One in Kansas. Republican Committee Puts Up Huge Posters. DOLLEY AND KEMP EH. Former Charges Latter With Trying to Use Odd Fellows. W. I. Biddle Brings Amazing Story From Leavenworth. The last "Trie of the Taft-Brayn cam paign in Topeka, and In the state at large, promises to be a bill-board cam paign. A few days ago, the Democratic state committee billed Topeka and other towns with posters about 4 by 8 feet In size, advertising some of the claims o' the Democratic party. Monday afternoon, the Republicans came back with a huge poster about 10 foet long and eight feet high, whoopins it up for Taft. The Bryan poster has a picture of Bryan at the top, with a couple of United States flags for a background. The' Taft poster not only has a very fine picture of Taft, but it also hits one of the "grin" pictures of Bryan. Nearly anybody's face looks foolish when it wears a broad grin, and Bryan's is no exception to the rule. There is a large amount of reading matter crowded into the Democratic poster, which makes it very hard to read from any distance. The Republi can poster, though very much larger, contains leys reading matter, and the type is bolder and blacker. There are several different kinds of Republican posters being used, but they are alike in size, and in the two pictures, one of Taft. and the other the grinning picture of Bryan. The read ing matter on the bills is of various kinds. They will be posted in 100 dif ferent towns of Kansas. The following is the text of the Dem ocratic poster: (Picture of Bryan.) WHKRR DO YOU STAND? The Temocratic platform demands that United States senators shall be elected by direct vote of the people. This plank was defeated in the Re publican national convention by a vote of S66 to 114. The Democratic platform provides for ascertaining the actual value of all the Interstate railroads as a basis for flx lne rates alike just to the people and to the railroads. This plank was defeated in the Re publican national convention by a vote of 917 to 63. The Democratic platform demands the publication of all campaign con tributions before election and all dis bursements after election so that the people may know before election day whether the corporations and trusts are using undue Influence in the elec tion of president. This plank -was voted down in the Republican national convention by a vote of S80 to 94. Shall we tax large Incomes so that wealth shall bear its Just proportion of national taxation? The Democratic platform says yes. The Republican platform is silent. The government demands security for every dollar it deposits in national banks. Shall the bank deposits of the people also be secured against loss by bank failures? The Democratic platform says. yes. The Republican platform is silent and the Republican candidate for president denounces such security to the people. A decade ago congress appropriated one billion dollars for expenditures. The present congress appropriated riuite two billions. Shall this alarm ing extravagance continue? The Democratic platform says, no. The Republican platform is, of course, silent. The Democratic platform demands that the tariff shall be reformed downward. The Republican platform says the tariff shall be revised, (up ward If necessary) to guarantee reas onable profit to the trusts. Tho Republican Poster. The Republican poster is printed in red and black, the first and last lines being in big red type. The wording of one of them is as follows: Bryan or Taft Which? (Picture of High Tops w 1 t Sir mi- "Dry Foot" As nearly waterproof as it is possible for leather to b double soles. Full Boys' $3 to $3.50 Men $3.50 to $7.50 Bryan.) (Picture of Taft.) Here are the pictures of two men. One or the other will soon be chosen president of the United States. Consider these two countenances. Then compare the lives of the two men. Weigh the fit ness of each for the exalted place to which he aspire?. (Below Bryan's picture the follow ing.) Examine this man's record. What haa he done to demonstrate-his fitness for the post to which he for the third time aspires? Can you find one solitary act of benefit to the na tion? If you can find that act give him credit. But think what wan it? Twice he has advocated, twice he has ceased to advocate, dangerous, mis taken policies. But has he abandoned them? What assurance have you now that his policy is not equally danger- ous, and that if elected, he will not put that dangerous policy into dis-1 astrous effect? (Under Taft's picture the follow ing): Examine thisi man's record. What he has done demonstrates his fitness for the post to which he as pires. Consider the abilities of this man who accomplished the momen tous tasks he was rnddenty called up on to perform. Think of his work. Kis administration of tho Philippines his establishment of the vast Pan ama canal work his brilliant diplo matic triumphs in Cuba in the" Phil ippines at Rome in Japan as sec retary of war. Splendid success add ed to pplendid success. A life of re markable achievements spent in the service of his country and yours. He is running on hip record. The other man is running away from his. (In red type the following): A patriotic duty confronts you. Weigh carefully tho facts. Your ballot once cast can not be recalled. The Republican state central commit tee Is charging that W. H. Kemp?r, grand master of the Kansas Odd Fel lows, and Democratic candidate for secretary of state, is using his position as head of the Odd Fellows lodge to so licit the support of Odd Fellows. They charge that he is sending out letters to the official lodge mailing list, ad dressing the letters to "Dear Brother," and urging the "Dear Brother" to vote for him, and circulate some Kemper campaign cards. The letter to Repub lican Odd Fel'ows does not mention the fact that Mr. Kemper is a Demo crat, while the one to Democratic Odd Fellows brings out this fact very prom inently. It is rather a peculiar circumstance that Kemper's opponent. Charles E. Denton, is also an Odd Fellow, and that Chairman Dolley of the state com mittee is a member of that order also. Mr. Dolley said today "It seems incredible that a man hon ored with the highest of lice in the Odd Fellows lodge would abuse the trust imposed in him by endeavoring to use his great office as a stepping stone to political preferment, especially against a brother Odd Fellow. Nevertheless these letters contain unmistakable evi dence that such is the case." Mr. Kemper gave out the following statement concerning the charges: "I see by a morning paper that Chair man Dolley is very much exercised over the fact that I am an Odd Fellow, and that I have written some letters to my friends. "I am an Odd Fellow and would rath er be an Odd Fellow than to be secre tary of state. "I think, however, that Mr. Dolley has drawn on his imagination a little to decide that I am using the office of grand master for political purposes. In the letters he had printed is not found a word to indicate that I was a mem ber of the I. O. O. F. order. When I wrote a letter that commenced 'Dear Brother,' how did he know but I was addressing a 'brother' in the church. Why did he not at once decide that be cause I was superintendent of the Sun day school at the First Christian church in Topeka, that I was writing to the members of the church. "I am very glad that Mr. Dolley has taken this trouble to advertise the fact that I am a candidate for secretary of stater For this kindly act I would vote for him if he was running for some of fice. "I have written some other letters and trust he will get copies and publish them. "I assure Mr. Dolley that I appreciate what he is doing to help elect me sec retary of state." W. I. Biddle, the well known Re publican politician from Leavenworth, and one of the members of the state executive committee, was in Topeka Monday, and gave out an interview in which he charged that while J. D. Botkin was in Leavenworth recently, he entered into a complete alliance with the liquor interests of that county. Mr. Biddle says: "Mr. Botkin visited Leavenworth in September and made a speech at Easton in the northwest part of the county. He was taken to Easton by Stance Myers, chairman of the Democratic weekly paper, and immed iately afterwards these two local statesmen started the rounds telling the joint keepers that Nr. Botkin was 'all right' and that he would allow the Joints to run unmolested if he was elected governor. While in Leaven worth Saturday, Messrs. Myers and K.iruner dined with Mr. Botkin and he spent practically the whole day with them. They took occasion to in troduce many Joint keepers to him and there were a number of close con ferences. It was made plain that everything was O. K. and that a deal was on. "Leavenworth beer agents repre senting Milwaukee and St. Louis breweries met Mr. Botkin in confer ence and they were active in trying to work up a big meetng for him. In spite of their strenuous efforts the meeting was small as the attendance was kept down by the bad weather. "Mr. Botkin did not call on any ministers or any of his old prohibition associates while in Leavenworth; he avoided them and was careful not to do anything to offend or arouse sus picion among his newly-made allies. Double dealing, such as is now in progress, will not help Mr. Botkin. This will be shown when the returns are in from our part of the state on election night." The meeting of the executive com mittee of the Republican state central committee was held Monday evening, and Chairman Dolley reports that the results were of a very encouraging nature. The executive committeemen reported that the conditions were very favorable except in the Fifth and Sixth districts, where there is a hard fight being made on Congressmen Reeder and Calderhead. Chairman Dolley says that he is in clined to raise his first estimate of 80, 0C0 as the Republican majority.' He now claims that the Republicans will lose no members of the legislature. Thc Sulfide Was Thomas Sims. Vallejo, Cal., Oct. 27. A coroner's 1ury has returned a verdict of suicide in the case of Thomas Sims, whose body was found in Mare Island chan nel yesterday. Identity was estab lished through a letter from Sim's wife, dated Camden, Jf. J., begging him not to take his life. Papers in the dead man's possession indicate that he had been tate president of the Sons or St. George In New Jersey. oJociety Topeka friends of Mr. Frank G-aha-gan, who formerly lived here, wiil be interested to learn of his marriage to Mrs. Dunden of Denver which took place at Colorado Springs Wednesday, October 21. Mr. Oahagan is a travel ing salesman for the Western Chem ical company with headquarters at Denver, where they will make their home, and Mrs. Gahagan is accom panying him on a business trip lo the Northwest. When a girl marries well and goes up in the world there is always some body to say: "Why, she didn't use to be Anybody! I never thought to see the day that she would ride by Me in an automobile! Well! she may live in a Big House and wear diamonds but she used to be Awfully Talked About!" Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Knox announce the approaching marriage of their daughter Mamie to Mr. Herbert S. Fowler of Wichita. The wedding will take place Sunday afternoon at Bei voir and the bride's grandfather, the Rev. John D. Knox, will perform the ceremony.

Knox will give an informal recep tion Saturday afternoon for her daugh ter. Last night a Topeka housekeeper found a big wad of chewing gum in the milk,- which she buys of a neigh bor. -She dipped it out and held it up for the inspecton of the neighbor's lit tle girl who delivers the miik. "Good ness me!" exclaimed the little milk maid seizing it eagerly and putting it in her mouth. "I wondered what had become of my gum. Well, I'll tell you, Miz' Smith: you take the milk in this other pail and I'll give that to Miz' Brown across the street." In the words of the late lamented Billy Bax ter, "What you don't know will never hurt you." Mrs. W. E. Snow of Kansas City ar rived today to visit Mrs. W. G. Kelly, who, with Mrs. H. B. Kelly, will give a reception in her honer Thursday afternoon. The friends asked to assist are Mrs. E. H. Crosby. Mrs. W. A. Morton, Mrs. Charles L. Mitchell, Mrs. C. E. Foote and Mrs. George Port Ashton. "Cutting bangs is as irrevocable as getting married," says a grass widow who has done both. "It takes six months for the decree to become abso lute, or your bangs to grow out." Mrs. James L. King gave a small informal luncheon at the tea room todav for Mrs.. Claud Marsh Butlin of the City of Mexico and Mrs. Everett H. Dallas of Houston. Texas, who are guests of their mother, Mrs. J. C. Wilson.

Richard Le Gallienne is ill In a New York hospital as a result of over-exertion on what the telegraph news po litely describes as a "walking tour."

Her good luck has made it harder than ever for plug men on ordinary salaries to give satisfaction for every girl in town dreams of repeat ing her success and exciting the envy of all her friends when she comes home on a visit. 9 Mrs. W. W. Kitchell gave a luncheon at her house in Potwin today for Mrs. W. W. Kitchell of Fair Oaks. Cal.. who is the guest of Mrs. H. O. Garvey. The model here pictured was sketched from an imported costume of tan broadcloth, with wide black satin revers. The gown fastened down HI the front with broadcloth buttons and buttonholes in groups of three, and small cloth buttons trimmed the sleeves. The yoke and collar were of tucked net with a plaited jabot. The funniest feature of "society" just now. (and "society" is always so funny) is the contrasts to be seen in hair dressing. The women are chang ing the fashion of doing their hair, and as usual the transition period pre sents an amusing mixture of freak coiffures. It is difficult to say wrhich looks the oddest, the old way or the new way. At a dance in Topeka last week there were girls wearing rats as big as mattresses under switches and puffs, and others with no rats at all. Some had their hair pulled up tightly in the back and piled on top of their heads, and others brushed their front hair back plainly and wore a big gob on the nape of the neck. One girl wore no less than eighteen puffs and another had just three. There were a number of Psyche knots but no two girls wore them in just the same place. Some were on a level with the nose, some higher and others lower. One girl wore Grecian bandeaux, her front hair parted and drawn severely down over her tem ples, with a big Psyche knot in the back. And the reason this variety was funny was that none of these styles was chosen by the girl who affected it because it was becoming but because she had seen some body else wear her hair so. In three months' time all different styles will have given place to one prevailing mode of hair dressing on which, the transition period over, the radicals, who take up with every new fad and carry it to extremes, and the conservatives who adopt a change tardily and reluctant ly, will have compromised. For it is only in the transition period that the average society function offers any variety in the way of fashions. At other times every woman dresses ex actly like every other woman The men, too, are trying out some new ways of doing their hair, and the pompadour affected by the Rah-Rah boys for the past year or so is making its way into older and more dignified circles. A good many chaps are brushing their hair straight back from their foreheads and plastering it' down like John C. Calhoun, or some body. A Chicago man at the dance with his hair in this fashion was talk ing to a girl wearing bangs and that was a contrast which excited some comment It takes more courage to be a month ahead of the fashion than to be a year behind it. The pioneer who blazes the way for a new mode, in a small town, is a martyr to her cause The last women to adopt a new fashion in hair dressing are. as a rule, the married. It is, gen erally, a sign a mode is becoming passe, whr-n the married women take it up. Usually you can tell a married woman by her hair and a married man by his shoes, which to use an old fashioned expression fit his feet, rather than his eye. The Phi Delts of K.

Mary Farrell, a seamstress, is dying in Roosevelt hospital, having sacrificed her life in a successful effort to save the lives of the scores of people who with her oc cupied a tenement house in West Forty-third street. While Miss Far rell, "who lived alone on the top floor of the building, was preparing supper an oil stove on which she was cooking the meal exploded. Fearing the house would catch flro from tho burning stove, Miss Farreli seized it in her arms and hurried down the front steps of the building, crying out to the- occupants of the other rooms to close their doors and give her and her blazing burden a clear passageway. Although her light dress caught fire and the flames ate their way into' her flesh, she did not hesitate. But at the bottom of the second flight of stairs her foot caught in her skirt and she fell on top of her fiery burden. She was dragged away from the burn ing stove, but it was too late for the hospital surgeon who responded to a call pronounced her injuries fatal. Firemen extinguished the fire after small damage had been done the house. A SECOND EXU3IERATION. Those Padded Roils In Lyon County Stir Up a Commotion. Emporia. Kan., Oct. 27.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAI TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1803. 9 POLICEJOJTINGS Judge Urfliy Objects to Court Being a Collection Agency. John McCoy Settled His Case "Out of Court." HOWARD'S TKOUBLE. Father Refuses to Pay His Crap Shooting Fine. Fred L. Jellz Arrested and Lec tured by Jude. Judge Urmy of the police court re belled yesterday and thwarted a scheme to make a collection agency out of the court. The prisoner In the Case was released and the merchant Who tried to collect damages by swear ing out a warrant for the prisoner re ceived a good sized lemon. Night before last John McCoy, who lives out West Tenth, became over loaded with whisky and became the chief attraction on Kansas avenue. It was necessary for his wife to conw down town and accompany the unruly husband to his home. During their trip up Kansas avenue McCoy become frightened at the glare of lights and Jewelry in the show case in front of the Swearingen Jewelry store and he made a rush for the said case with fists doubled. Before his wife could make any interference at all the angry husband had smashed the beautiful case in a thousand pieces. He did not attempt to take any of the articles in the case or stop and take an invoice of his actions but proceeded up the street perfectly satisfied with his Job. However, Frank Swearingen. the Jeweler, was displeased with the dis orderly conduct of the tipsy gentleman end Monday he went to the home of Judge Urmy and swore out a warrant fcfr the arrest of McCoy. McCoy was arrested by the police and made to ap pear in court at last evening's session. This is when the trouble arose be tween the court and the should-be com plaining witness. Of course the Jewel er was made to appear before the court and without an explanation of any kind he refused to testify against the man who broke his show case and for whom he had sworn out a warrant. Judge Urmy made the case stronger but still the Topeka merchant refused to make any complaint. Naturally the Judge dismissed the case at once and McCoy was released. McCoy had plead guilty to disorderly conduct but he re fused to plead guilty to the show case charge. It was at this time that Judge Urmy realized that the court was being fool ed with a regular collection agency dis guised In the form of a Topeka police court. The Jeweler had seen McCoy before the trial and at that time the prisoner had agred to pay the damages. As a payment for this favor the Jeweler was to back down on the complaint and the case would be dropped. The court has decided that the war rant was issued simply to get the man under arrest and scare him out of the damages. C- M. Howard, the young man. who was arrested for being caught with the crap shooting gang Sunday night, is having troubles of his own. But the trouble has grown, so technical It has been necessary for a lawyer to settle It. It seems that Howard presented one of his father's checks for his bond when he was arrested that night. At laRt night's session of the court Judge Urmy fined the young man $25 for his shooting business and the bond was simply turned over to the fine and paid to the jailer. Now the father of the young man comes on the stage and de mands the money back, saying that he paid the bond but not the fine and that his son should either pay the fine him self or work it out on the rock pile. The fight is growing Intense and the whole station ia wrought up over the affair. Fred L. Jeltz, the old editor of the Topeka Ledger and the foremost col ored editor in the state with any num ber of exceptions, was arrested on Kansas avenue this morning for beg ging. He had been stopping every per son he met and asking them according to the manner in which they were dressed. If he approached a man with a diamond stud and n ten cent cigar he would ask him for fifty cents but the common every day man he would only ask a quarter. The police watched him for over an hour trying to decide whether he was getting subscriptionj for his paper (he is editing a paper in Wichita at present) or whether he was a plain beggar. However, Chief Eaton settled the problem by walking down Kansas avenue and being approached by the colored man with a demand for a quarter (the chief did not have on his diamond stud and he doesn't smoke). Of course it was to the station for Jeltz then and he was taken before court and given a personal lecture by the Judge. Judge Urmy reminded him that next time he asked for money on the street he should not forget to men tion the fact that he would send the paper a year to the person who handed over the coin. "Yes, suh, Mr. Judge, I'll 'member that. Yes, suh, I sure will. Yes, suh, yes, suh, yes, suh and the editor went into a spasm over his affirmative remarks. He actually kept up this line of conversation for five minutes until the Judge became disgusted with him and told him to get out of the station while he was re leased or he would be fined for too much escape from the mouth regions. The police department have endur ed their last winter in worn out caps and helmets. Today Chief Eaton re ceived the police caps to be used by the force this winter. They are like those used by the police department of New York city and are provided with the warmest and most comfort able apparatus. The caps are of the customary blue and resemble in pome respects the caps used by the fire de partment. The patrolmen, sergeants and Jailers will use the caps. The heavy uniforms wor nby the police to gether with the overcoats of uniform style are in good condition and are of standard make. They will not be changed. To tell the truth the police wear the same uniforms in summer as they do in the winter and a change would cause too much of a shock for the health of the men. Imagine a patrolman walking through the hot streets in the summer time with his heavy winter clothes on. buttoned up tight around his neck. But they have to do it. The crap shooters arrested Sunday night have been tried and found guilty and fined and paid and released. All this happened at the last session of WMWIS J5D 3I1SCELLA.WS .IDS. B. M. Kraemer to B.

Two of the pitchers of the dotted squares failed to appear at the trial and they forfeited their bonds. The trial was attended by a crowd of friends and admiring enemies and when the court was dismissed con gratulations were given like a high school commencement exercise. In truth some of the young gamblers will receive high school congratulations If they keep at it long enough. "Colonel" W. L. Gordon made an other of his interesting visit9 to the police station t.-.is morning and he en tertained the whole office force for over an hour telling them of his ex periences with former presidents and would be presidents. Col. Gordon was quite active in Washington affairs many years ago and he is full of little side lights on political candidates that do not appear in the files of historical knowledge. Mr. Gordon told an Interesting little incident in connection with the love affairs of Henry Clay and Daniel "Web ster when they both were ambitious to become president. Both Clay and Webster loved the same girl and they had a stiff fight over their evening en gagements with her. One night Clay came to see the young lady. Colonel Gordon was door keeper at the home of this young lady and he was a spectator of the whole Incident. It happened that the young lady had mixed her dates and both the politicians were due to call on her the same evening. Clay had been there for about half an hour when a knock was heard at the door. Colonel Gordon answered the knock and he recognized Webster himself. He foresaw trouble and asking Mr. Webster to wait in the hall a min ute he rushed in the parlor and In formed the double hearted girl of her other arrival. She grew pale and was about to faint from the thought of the outcome of the meeting of the two men when Mr. Gordon spied a trunk that happened to be in the cor ner of the room. Grabbing Clay by the coat tails he opened the trunk and doubled the long, .lank politician into the small space. Webster was admitted to the parlor and the conversation was normal again when some one in the rear of the house yelled "Fire." "Webster Jumped out of his chair and was about to grab the young lady around the waist and save her .when an awful knocking and muffled yelling was heard from the direction of the trunk. Webster dropped the girl and listen ed "Hey, boys, save this trunks save this trunk," came the smothered cry of the disappointed lover and the trick was revealed. Colonel Gordon says that the girl never entertained the two men again. A certain W. C. Black Is making the rounds of the hotels In the western part of the United States and making a business of stealing stray grips and suit cases which happen to lie idle in the hotel lobbies. He always takes these grips, boards a train out of the city and when his room is searched it is found that all he left behind him was empty traveling bags which were stolen at the last place visited. The Topeka police have been informed to look out for the man and the hotel keepers are also given his description. The last theft was at Keokuk, Iowa where he made away with three grips of Jewelry. He will find a reception awaiting him if l)e alights on a To peka platform. A woman who gave her name as Angelina Wilcox and who is really Mrs. Pink, was arrested last night for running a disorderly house at inn Kansas avenue. No one was fount! in I tne nouse at the time but a man was arrested a half hour before who had been there. Angelina Ella Wheeler Wilcox has never been to the station before but she has been a strong can didate for the position and last night she succeeded. She will be tried this evening. The horse and buggy found by the police about three weeks ago was claimed this morning by Harvey Ben ton, a liveryyman, who conducts a stable at 235 Monroe. Benton said he had given the description of the horse and buggy to an officer a long time ago and he wondered why he had heard nothing from the police. The liveryman came Just in time as tho outfit would have been advertised for public auction In a few days. The police court is alive with stud ents from the Washburn law school these days. The students have heard of the great advantage In listening to the excellent Judgeship ability dis played by Judge Urmy and they come in flocks to listen to his line of work. CHARGES OF COWARDICE.
