Debs Is Still Cam paigning in Illinois. New York, Oct 28. Midweek of the last week of this remarkable presiden tial campaign finds the political battle at its height and the "heavy artillery" of the two leading parties at work chiefly in New York city and state. That New York is regarded by both as of vital importance in the canvass Is evidenced in the presence of both presidential candidates and the Repub lican vice presidential candidate in or rear this city. John W. Kern, the Dem ocratic candidate for the vice presi dency continues his tour of Indiana. Mr. Hisgen, candidate of the Inde pendence party for the presidency is in Connecticut today; Chafin and Watkins of the Prohibitionists are scheduled to speak at Atlantic City and Baltimore and K. V.

At the same time in every nook and corner of the country, speakers of lesser note, members of both houses of congress, candidates for all manner of office, state and local and just plain "spell binders" in halls, from cart tails and barrel heads are pounding away, each at which he regards as the "ene my," prophesying unlimited prosperity If by the verdict of the people In their wisdom his ticket wins; dire calamity if the people in their ignorance elect the candidates of any other party. All preparations have been made to make tonight's Taft demonstration the real climax of the Republican cam paign. Fifth avenue will outshine Broadway when a great parade of Re publican clubs moves down that thor oughfare. From Fifty-ninth street to Fifteenth street, the avenue will be a daze of light from searchlights, red lire and the illuminations of clubs and private buildings. Fifty bands of music will give a martial air to the big dem onstration. At Madison Square Garden, where Mr. Taft. Governor Hughes and others expect to speak. General Horace Porter will ba the presiding officer. In addition to the presidential candidate and Governor Hughes speeches will be delivered by Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, and George A. Knight of California. TAFT'S BIG DAY. Republican Candidate to speak at the Garden Tonight. New York. Oct. 28. This is Taft's big day in Greater New York as Monday was Bryan's. After a day's series of speeches in cities and towns along the Hudson river between New York and Troy, the Republican presidential can didate returned to New York today to be the central figure in the biggest Re publican day of the present campaign In the Metropolis. Judge Taft's train was due to reach New York half an hour before noon, and from that time until midnight or later almost every moment of the candidate's time had been assigned for meetings in various parts of the city. At noon he had an engagement to speak before a big gathering at West street "farm" and the day will close with a monster mass meeting in Madi son Square Garden. The interim will be divided between many meetings on Manhattan Island and In the Bronx. Governor Hughes accompanied Mr. Taft on part of his flying trip today and will be one of the principal speak ers at the Madison Square Garden meeting. Two hours before Judge Taft reached New York, W. J. Bryan was away on another swing upstate through Tarry town, Ossining and a half dozen other towns and cities to Albany and Schenectady before he reaches Troy, where he will address a big mass meet ing late tonight. Mr. Bryan was in excellent spirits when he started on his trip upstate. "I have had a delightful and busy time during my stay In New York," said he, "and I have learned something. I have learned that we waste a great deal of time in sleep. Always before I had supposed that a man must have eight hours sleep a night, but I find that you New Yorkers thrive on five hours." "What do you think of the signs, Mr. Bryan?" the candidate was asked as he climbed Into an automobile for the trip to the station where he was to take the train. "I think the signs are Improving all the time." "Do you expect to carry New York state?" "I certainly do. And I expect to car ry the entire middle west as well as some of the eastern states. We will have enough and more. Nebraska is sure and so. I think. Is Ohio." When Mr. Bryan reached the Grand Central station the crowd in the big train shed pressed toward the en trance through which he came until it was only with the greatest difficulty that the candidate and his party could make their way to the private car which was awaiting them. At almost every step Mr. Bryan had to stop to shake nanas. ana when he finally got through the gates a dozen rallwav men met him at the steps of his car. He shooK eacn one 01 tnem by the hand and then mounting the rear platform stood waiting for the train to pull out "Good luck to you. Bill." shouted a man in the crowd and the candidate smiled ana noaaea nis head. In response to repeated demands for a speecn, Air. Bryan said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my visit to New York city and am very much gratified at the evidence of Interest in tne success or tne Democratic rjartv We have a united Democratic party be fore us ana a irigntenea Republican party back of us. With courage and confidence we will win the fixht As Mr. Bryan finished speaking the train pulled out, the Nebraskan re maining on the platform waving his hat until tne train went out or sight. Ksrman E. Mack, chairman of the national Democratic committee, accom panied Mr. Bryan today as far as Poughkeepsie. Mr. Mack desired to confer w ith Mr. Bryan and took ad vantage of the opportunity for unin terrupted conversation on the train. Mr. Mack will return to this city this afternoon. TAFT HAS A COUGH. Interrupts Him Twice In a Seven Min utes Speech. New York, Oct. 28. Judge Taffs voice plainly showed in his early speeches today the strain to which it has been subjected, and at Bethune street, where he spoke for seven min utes he was twice Interrupted by fits of coughing. He appealed for support for the Republican ticket to the end and that returning prosperity may continue to return. "We have had a panic, a period of depression," said he. "but it did not reach west of the Mississippi river, for I have been there and they did not know about it." The farmers are prosperous he said, and all that is required for prosperity to be general is for those in control of capital to invest. "Now those of you who are in con trol of capital to invest or if you had control of capital, which party would you prefer in power to bring you an adequate return on that capital?" he asked. "Would you prefer the party that for ten years past has shown you the greatest prosperity the world has ever seen, or a party whose leader has been proposing economic reforms for the past 12 years only to abandon them one after the other? Who to day believes in the free coinage of silver? Yet that leader for three presidential campaigns advocated it as the panacea for all our ills' Judge Taft said the president has the power under the statutes to prac tically put the country on a silver basis, and asked if the man with capi tal to invest would not hesitate before investing his money if such a candi date was elected.

Drop in Temperature to 31 Degrees the Cause. Today's weather conditions are dif ferent from those of the week past, greatly different, for the sun has shone constantly since early morning and with a brilliancy that has been most welcome as it has been a week since Topckans have had a glance at the sun. Then the temperatures are a number of degrees higher than those of the past few days and combined with the sunshine effect the weather condi tions are as welcome as the flowers in May. At 7:30 this morning the temperature dropped to 31 degrees, the lowest of the year, and as the atmosphere was heav ily laden with moisture the sudden change caused a fog so dense that it could have been "cut with a knife" theoretically speaking. At 12 o'clock today the mercury reached 5a, the highest mark since last Thursday so that Is one forenoon the lowest tem perature of the season and the highest of the week were reached. There was practically no wind when the heavy fog occurred between seven and eight o'clock this morning and it was so dense that it was impossible '.o see across Kansas avenue and even the outlines of the large buildings could not be discerned. The speed of the street cars was reduced until they crawled along at a snail's pace, while the motorneers kept up a constant clanging of bells. The fog lifted shortly after 8 o'clock and the sun shone out bright and warm and since then there has not been cloud of any kind In evidence in the heavens. The forecast indicates fair weather for tonight and Thursday without much change In the temper ature though frost will probably occur tonight. The following are the temper atures since 7 o'clock: 7 o'clock 33 11 o'clock j0 7:30 o'clock 31 I 12 o'clock 55 8 o'clock 35 I 1 o'clock 57 9 o'clock 38 I 2 o'clock 58 10 o'clock 44 Bryan's Visit Too Much for Him.

MANY WORKING MEN Make the Audience Conspicuous by Their Presence. lit publican Party and the Pres ident Are Assailed. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Oct. 28. The up state tour of W. J. Bryan today, despite the rain, met Immense cheering crowds conspicuous for the number of work ing men among them. The Democratic candidate exhibits surprising vigor even though it was after 3 o'clock this morning when he retired and conclud ed perhaps the hardest day of his cam. paign. Mr. Bryan pleaded for support both for the state and national tickets. The candidates on the congressional and state tickets, he told the people, are bearing the brunt of the fight and are deserving the suffrage of the people. "We are appealing to the moral sense of the country," he said at Ossining and other places, "in our effort to purify politics and to secure a dis closure of the source of campaign funds, that the people may know be fore the election what influences are at work." He everywhere assailed the Republi can party for, as he claims, having no plan for relief of the financial panic and business depression. The Democratic party, he insisted, is fighting its battle not merely to dis tribute a few offices or to win honors for a few men, but in the interest of the people who are crying out for re forms. In his speech here, which was listen ed to by a great throng, Mr. Bryan, re ferring to the president's endorsement of Mr. Taft, said that "the president seems to find it necessary to endorse his appointee over and over again. If an endorsement is good once it should be enough." Attention also was called by Mr. Bryan to the president's action in the campaign and he got a mighty out burst of applause, when he said that in Europe the king would give the crown to his son, but In America the presi dent can not give the executive chair to any one. That belongs to the peo ple. Speeches were made at Hastings. Tarrytown. Ossining, Peekskiil, Coid Sprin- and Fishkill. Others were sched uled at Rhine Cliffe, Hudson. Renns salear, Albany, Schenectady and Troy. Kern and Weaver Together. Hartford City, Ind., Oct. 28. The special interurban car carrying the carrying the Democratic vice presiden tial nominee, John W. Kern, on his tour through Indiana from Ft. Wayne, roll ed into this city early today for a 15 minute stop, the first on the day's itin erary. In spite of the early hour, 8 o'clock, a big crowd had gathered in the court house square to welcome the candidate. He spoke from a platform In the open air. The only other speaker on board was General James B. Weaver of Colfax, Iowa, twice candidate for the presidency on the Populist ticket. A number of campaigners assigned to proceed with the nominee to points to be visited, are expected to join the party on the special later in the day. Mr. Kern spoke at some length here on the tariff issue, charging to protec tion the growth of monopolies and the accumulation of great wealth in the hands of the few. He referred to a speech made by Senator LaFollette in the senate last March, in which that gentleman declared that 100 men con trol the commercial and financial des tiny of the country and supplemented that statement by the assertion that 14 men today have absolute domination of all the railroads in the country. General Weaver spoke on the ques tion of publicity of campaign funds and the phvsical valuation of railroads. The itinerary for the day provides for speeches to be made at Bluffton, Warsaw, Goshen and Elkart. From the last named city it is expected that the party will go to Chicago at night, and then return to Indianapolis. IDLE WOMEN. The Greatest Obstacle to Progress of Suffrage Movement. Chicago, Oct. 28. Dr. Anna How ard Shaw, president of the National Amer ican Woman Suffrage association, ad dressing an enthusiastic rally of Chi cago suffragists, held in the assembly hall of the fine arts building, said: "One of the greatest obstacles to woman's suffrage we have in this trv tnrtnv in our great body of idle women. The industries that occupied their grandmothers oo not occupy me granddaughters, and thus has been taken from these women the oppor tunity of being producers of wealth. 'They are consumers, not producers. We are depriving them of all incentive to Intellectual advancement. We are using the state's money in educating them and then throwing them back on the state as dead lumber. We are sending girls out from our colleges with the desire to serve and are giving them nothing to do. There are not enough professions to go around and what else are we offering them?" Killed In the Xlght. Joplin, Mo., Oct. 28. Alexis Devers. a Janitor, aged 36, died here today from wounds inflicted during the night. W. W. Bowman, a miner, and his wife. Anna, are being held by the police for investigation. Bowman, who had been in Parsons, Kan., re turned to Joplin after midnight this morning. He told the police he and his wife had found Devers unconscious In a vacant lot adjoining their home and had taken him into their house. Weather Indications. Chicago, Oct. 28. Forecast for Kansas: Fair tonight and Thursday. Not much change In temperature. Probably frost tonight. SECRETrlS OUT. Senator Dixon Tell Why Fleet Went to Japan. It Was Sent at Request of the Mikado. PEOPLE WANTED WAR Only Way Was to Scare Them Out of It. He Put It Up to Roosevelt and Won Consent. Anaconda, Mont., Oct 28.- A Kall speil, Mont, dispatch to the Standard says: That the Atlantic fleet was sent to Japan at the request of the emperor to overawe Mutsuhito's subjects was the statement made by United States Senator Dixon in an address at Kali spell last night. Mr. Dixon said it was known at "Washington that long long before the fleet started on its spectacular voyage around the world that the sentiment of many of the people of Japan was likely to bring on war. This sentiment was not shared by the ruler and his counsellors, but was so great they could make no headway against it. Then it was that the emperor decided, to ask President R'oosevelt to assist him in clearing the sentiment by sending a large and im posing fleet to strike terrar to the hearts of those Japanese who 'fisted on war with a power of whose im mense resources they knew nothing. It was to be an object lesson. President Roosevelt was communi cated with and later the plan was ap proved and the great fleet prepared for its trip around the world. The object lesson, said the senator was successful, even before our fleet reached the shores of the island em pire. 2 EXCITING RUNAWAYS. W. M. Forbes and Mrs. Millard Have Narrow Escapes. By the narrowest of narrow escapes two Topeka people were the victims of runaways on Kansas avenue late last evening and his noon. In both cases the runaways were on Kansas avenue and the buggies were torn to pieces unfit for repairs. The two persons who escaped harm from the runaways were Mrs. Millard, wife of Doctor M. A. Millard and W. M. Forbes, of the W, M. Forbes Co., real estate dealers. Mrs. Millard was driving the family horse south o ICaHeas avenue when the horse became scared at some ob ject at the corner of Tenth and Kan sas avenue-. It reared up and at first commenced to back but when urged forward by Mrs. Millard it struck out on a run south on Kansas avenue. As the horse ran on it increased its speed at every step and when Eleventh street was reached it was going at a terrific speed while the-tight buggy was swaying from side to side. Mrs. Millard did not seem to be frightened but held the reins as tightly as pos sible. However, the horse failed to respond to the tight reins and the words of the driver and was soon tearing down the Incline as fast as it could go. When the runaway came to Thir teenth street the horse gave a lurch toward the drinking fountain at this Intersection and with a crash the buggy collided with another buggy standing at the fountain and occupied by an old colored man and his young son. To onlookers it looked as though all of the three people would be in jured seriously as horses, buggies and occupants were piled in a heap. When the wreckage was untangled it was found that Mrs. Millard was not in jured in the least, with the exception of a few scratches on the face and arms. The old colored man and his little son were mingled in the dust but by some unknown providence they did not receive a scratch. Both of the buggies were completely demolished, not enough being left of them to use as repairs. This morning about 12 o'clock Mr. W. M. Forbes was just driving from his place of business on West Seventh street and had turned down Kansas avenue north expecting to meet a man on business at the Throop hotel. Just in front of the Stansfield drug store the shafts of the buggy became loose and one side fell against the horse's leg. The horse being of a nervous nature became frightened at once and started with a leap down the busy avenue. It looked as though the driver, Mr. Forbes, was doomed until the buggy swerved and hit a horse and buggy in front of the Fair store. The Impact turned the horse and buggy clear onto the side walk and the runaway swerved again into the center of the avenue. But the impact was too much for the bal ance of the dancing buggy and it turned throwing Mr. Forbes to the pavement. He hit the pavement with his shoulder and rolled for a few feet before he could be picked up by pedestrians. Mr. Forbes is rather an old man and it was thought that the fall on the pavement would be serious. He was taken into the Flad drug store and his Injuries dressed at once. He sustained two bad bruises on both of his hands but otherwise he was not injured. He took the car home af ter he had his injuries dressed. At Sixth street the runaway horse with the buggy dragging behind it turned east and the buggy turned a somerset breaking itself up into many pieces. The shafts stuck to the horse and the animal was caught at Sixth and Branner by George Butts a mer chant at this corner. The horse was not injured in the least and was re turned to Mr. Forbes' residence. In speaking of the matter Mr. Forbes said this afternoon: "We have some new kind of a patent on the shafts and this became loose and rubbed against the horse. As a rule the horse is very reliable but is of a nervous nature. I did not know what would happen when I felt us going down the avenue at such a terrific rate and I was unprepared for the shock in front-of the Fair store. I guess that nothing is damaged except the buggy and I consider myself very fortunate in getting out of tha run away as I did." NO MACHINES NOW People Must Do Their Voting in Good Old Way. City Council in Doubt About the Order. NEED MORE OF THEM. Require 25 Instead of 15 io Do the Work. Are Likely to Be in Use by Next Spring. It will be remembered that some thing over a year ago the city council instructed Mayor Green to make a contract with the Kansas Voting Ma chine Co., for fifteen voting machines to be delivered for use to the city on April 1, in time for the city elec tion next spring. The price to be paid for these machines is $9,000, or $600 per machine. Now twenty-five of these machines at least are required to properly handle the Topeka vote, so the question is, will the council go ahead and order the other ten ma chines, or will they store the fifteen machines already ordered at a cost of $9,000? If the entire number of twenty-five machines are to be ready on time for the next spring election they must be ordered at once. They will not be used at the general elec tion. In his message to the council last spring Mayor Green called attention to the fact that ten additional ma chines would be needed to care for the city's vote. To use these machines the voting precincts of the city in each ward will have to be re-divided on the ba sis of about 600 votes to the precinct xor eacn macnine as rollows: First ward Four precincts, four machines. Second ward Six precincts, six machines. Third ward Five precincts, five machines. Fourth ward Five precincts, five machines. Fifth ward Three precincts, three machines. Sixth ward Two precincts, two machines. There are now twenty-three pre cincts in the city, but the number of votes in each precinct vary from four hundred to a thousand. The capacity of one machine in a day is about one thousand votes, but this is on the basis of the machine being busy every minute of the day. Estimated on the average speed with which the votes come into the poll ing place a machine will care for about 600 votes per day. A committee from the council has been appointed to de-district the vot ing precincts of the city. At the time the contract was let for the voting machines several dif ferent companies were represented, hut the Kansas company had the sim plest machine at the lowest price. The machines are to be paid for in ten annual payments of $900 each at five per cent interest. The advantage of the voting ma chine is its accuracy and the fact that it delivers the totals of the vote for the different candidates as soon as the polls are closed. A great many eastern cities are using these machines. CATHOLICS CELEBRATE. Founding of the Diocese of Boston Is Commemorated. Boston. Oct. 28. With most of the highest officials of the Roman Catholic church prelacy in America present, the impressive ceremonials of a solemn pontifical mass, of which Most Rev. Diomede Falconio, papal dele gate to Washington, was the cele brant, the five days observance of the centennial anniversary of the found ing of the diocese of Boston was be gun in the cathedral of the Holy Cross today.

Besides the church dignitaries there were also present Governor Guild, Mayor George A. Hibbard and other representatives of the state and city governments and the judiciary. The great cathedral has been ela borately decorated for the exercises of the week. The pulpits, railings, and other parts of the interior were hung with laurel wreaths. The altar itself was draped In red. The streets leading from the rec tory to the cathedral had been roped off for the procession of the clergy which slowly and solemnly wended its way, headed by acolytes, choristers and the diocesan clergy who were fol lowed by the monsignoria. bishops and archbishops and finally the officers of the mass. Archbishop Falconio and Archbishop O'Connell were seated in the sanctuary where episcopal thrones, elaborately draped, had been arranged on either side. The visiting prelates were seated at either side of the two thrones, while the parish priests occupied reserved seats in the body of the church. Among the well known prelates present at today's services were: Archbishops Farley of New York, Quigley of Chicago, and Keane of Dubuque. Ia. Bishops Beun of Spring field, Hennessey of Wichita. O'Con nell of the Catholic university at Washington. Allen of Mobile. Fitz maurice ofErie, Pa.; McFaul of Tren ton. N. J.; O'Connor of Newark, N.

Curtis Recites History of the Whiting Loan of $248,000. New Tork, Oct. 28. With the testi mony of Alfred H. Curtis, one of the defendants, Just getting under way, when court adjourned last night and the prospect that he would be on the stand the greater part of the day, in terest In the trial of Charles W. Morse and Curtis on a charge of violating the national banking law was materially increased today. Curtis and Morse were closely associated for many months when Morse was most active In push ing the, two great enterprises which he organized the American Ice com pany and the steamship combination and it was believed that through him the prosecution would attempt to bring some of the details of those pro motions which have never been gen erally known by the public. There was considerable interest, too, as to the exact attitude Curtis would take when subjected to sharp questioning by the prosecution's examiners. Ever since the trial began there have been rumors that there is little in common now be tween the two defendants and that lack of concerted action upon their part and the part of their attorneys was likely to develop at any time. When Mr. Curtis resumed his testi mony today he said weekly reports were made by him to the bank's direc tors showing the loans, collateral, re serve, etc. There was a rule in the bank he said, that it must have on hand at the end of the week, cash representing 25 per cent of its net de posits. Taking up the government's testi mony regarding the lack of reserve in the National Bank of North America, Mr. Olcutt, counsel for Curtis, endeav ored to show that it was a. common thing for banks to be a little below the legal reserve and "endeavored to prove that full half of the clearing house banks had about that time but 20 to 24 per cent of their deposits on hand in cash. United States Attorney Stimson objected to questions along this line and Judge Hough sustained him. Mr. Olcutt next took up the various "dummy" loans made on Ice stock at the time trading in the stock was so brisk. Many of the Whiting "dummy" loans Mr. Curtis could not recall with out consulting the bank's records and some of them he could not remember at all and did not think he had made them. He said, however, that he pro bably would have approved the loans had he been called to pass upon them. Mr. Curtis told of Mr. Morse paying off with his personal check for $248,000. the total Whiting loans than outstand ing. The profit on this loan to the bank was $30,600, he said and was duly credited to the bank's aceounfc, BULGARIA WILL PAY. Cabinet Decides on an Important Step Toward Maintenance of Peace. Sofia, Oct. 28. The Bulgarian gov ernment has informed the representa tives of the foreign powers here of its acceptance of the principle of paying compensation to Turkey, which has been the burden of persistent diplo matic representations during the past fortnight on the part of all the great powers. This decision was arrived at by the cabinet after a long debate, in which Emperor Ferdinand used all his influence in favor of peace with com pensation. As a further step In the direction of peace, 60,000 reservists will be dis charged, leaving the army at Its nor mal strength of 60,000. The govern ment will, within a day or two, send a plenipotentiary to Constantinople to negotiate a treaty with Turkey. It is believed by this step Bulgaria has done its utmost to clear the situation and conciliate opinion abroad. POWERS BORE DOWN. They Forced Bulgaria to Disband Her Reserves. Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 28. The de cision of Bulgaria to disband its re serves and make a financial compensa tion to Turkey was brought about by the presentation of what was practical ly an ultimatum by Great Britain, France and Russia who were support ed by Germany and 'Italy. Identical notes from the first named three powers were presentd -to the Bulgarian government. They demand ed the disbandment of the Bulgarian reserves within three dav and the promise to send delegates to Con stantinople to negotiate the question of financial compensation for Turkey. It was made clear that on compliance with these demands depended all hope for the recognition of Bulgarian Inde pendence. In reply to this communica tion the Bulgarian government signi fied its willingness to- conform to their demands therein set forth. Baptists Celebrate Tonight.

Takes Prince Henry of Prussia Along as Guest. UP SEVERAL IIOUKS Maneuvered Like a Body of Trained Soldiers. He Carried FiTe Persons on the Remarkable Trip. Friedrichschafen, Germany, Oct. 28. Prince Henry of Prussia spent sev eral hours in the air as the guest of Count Zeppelin, who made an ascen sion in his remodeled dirigible balloon.. Not only did the prince thoroughly enjoy his experience, but he sat at the steering wheel for many miles of the flight, guiding the movements of the craft and compelling it to execute all kinds of complicated maneuvers. "Under Zeppelin's guidance I felt just as safe as on my own flagship," said the prince. Captain Mischke also was a passen ger when the start was made in the direction of Uberlinger, to the north ward of Constance. With Count Zep pelin himself at the wheel, the airship rose to an altitude of 600 feet, and moving rapidly against a strong wind, soon disappeared behind a bank of clouds. Soon messages began to arrive from the towns in the Rhine valley, announc ing the passage of the airship. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon a sound from the sky indicated that the craft was returning. Soon it appeared above the thronged streets of Constance, where the prince gracefully saluted in ac knowledgment of the cheers from the crowds below. After maneuvering above Lake Con stance in full view of the city, the air ship made its way toward the Swiss frontier, disappearing in the direction of Tyrol. It returned to Its moorings about sunset. Captain Mischke said that the prince was anxious to remain for a few more flights, but that he was uncertain whether his engagements would permit. The prince expressed himself as astonished to find that the body of the airship showed only slight vibrations. He regarded the vertical steering as perfect. It had been originally intended to make a flight of only three hours, and the royal family expected the prince to lunch at 2 o'clock, but the prince was so charmed with his successful aerial flight that he extended the cruise until he was driven home by approaching darkness. In all, the airship carried five men. Two of them were mechanics, and af ter some water ballast had been cast off the airship rose gracefully and was soon lost In the' haze. A corres pondent followed it in a motor boat, but was unable to keep the airship long in sight. The balloon attained a speed of thirty-seven miles an hour. Soon the airship reappeared above the lake, emerging from a cloud bank like some uncanny visitor from an un known world. Count Zeppelin evidently wished to show the prince some maneuvering by the craft and he descended to about 300 feet from the surface of the water, turning from right to left and from left to right-like a well drilled, file of sol diers. Then suddenly it mounted a thousand feet and shot into the clouds, only the mighty hum of Its propellers Indicating the course it had taken. FARMERS' UPLIFT.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 28, 1908. HAY DROP OUT Washburn Likely to Secede From Topeka Conference. Result of Method Used to Dis qualify MeVey. LOOK TO DKAKE GAME Fast Little Half Back Is pected to Play. Ex- Will Be Hardest Game Bine lias Had This Season. Out of the 'Topeka conference and Into the Missouri valley conference. This Is the probable status of the Washburn team, the outgrowth of the high handed methods of the Topeka conference In disqualifying McVey, the star backfleld man of the Wash burn college football team. The proceedings which barred Mc Vey were decidedly Irregular. Ac cording to the rules of the Topeka conference there Is an executive com mittee composed of four men who are elected annually. These four men pass on every question of eligibility and If they are unable to arrive at any derision, then and not until then an arbiter Is selected who is not con nected with any school In the con ference. These provisions were utterly dis regarded in the case of McVey. Coach Ernest Qulgley of St. Marys protested McVey a few days before the recent St. Marys-Washburn game. The pro test went to E. C. Samson of the Normal, who Is secretary of the To peka conference. Then without notifying the members of the Topeka conference executive committee. Sec retary Samson, referred the case to Tr. Heatherington of the University of Missouri. Heatherington had acted In the capacity of arbiter in a case which went up four years ago, Involving the eligibility of "Fannie" Mehl at that time a member of the Washburn baseball team. Heatherington was ap pointed arbiter for this special case, and was not In any sense of the word an official arbiter for any other than this case. Heatherington passed on McVey's eligibility and ruled him out. He was ruled out Just previous to the St. Marys game. Not only In this one way were the proceedings Irregular. But at no stage of the game were the Washburn authorities notified of the charges. That McVey was protested was learned only In an Indirect way and Washburn was never notified. Nor were the local authorities given a chance to submit any evidence re garding McVey. He Is undoubtedly as near eligible as many of the players on Kansas college teams. The rules distinctly provide that plenty of opportunity be given to the school authorities of any Institution to offer evidence In refutation of the charges. To this day, the Washburn authorities know nothing regarding the charges preferred by Qulgley against McVey. Thus It can be seen that high handed methods were indulged In by all those In charge of the protest, in order to deprive Washburn of the ser vices of one of her best players. The local aohool hasn't yet been notified that McVey was ruled out, although Qulgley had telegrams to show his disbarment. And the -rules provide that the school should have been notified before any of Its players Should De ruled out. A meeting of the executive commit tee of the Topeka conference commit tee will be held In Topeka Friday night of this week, when the official selection of some outside athletic au thority to act in the capacity of arbiter will be made, and this selection to prevail for the season. As it stands now, owing to the Ir regular proceedings, McVey Is eligible and will play against Drake Saturday. He in not out of the game until some regular proceedings will be instituted and he 19 disbarred In the regular way. It looked like a put up Job on the locals with Qulgley engineering the deal. W. C. Landson, manager of ath letics at Kansas university, was In To peka last night and In conversation with local authorities, gave his dis approval to removal of McVey, done In. the way that It was. Mr. Landson was at the St. Mary's game last week and at that time said that McVey should have been allowed to play. Mr. Landson Is a member of the executive committee of the Topeka conference and will be In Topeka Fri day night for the meeting of this com mittee. The other -members are Prof. H. I. Woods of Washburn. Hi. rl Onlcr. ley of St. Mary's and D. C. Shaffner of the State Normal. Outside of the election of an arbiter, nothing of importance will be liable to come up at the meeting. The Mc Vey case will probably not be touched. There are no protests against him at the present time. Coach Qulgley Is the only one who has protested McVey and as this protest accomplished its purpose, aitnougn irregularly carried out, no further damage can be done and it Is unlikely that Qulgley will re new nis protest. Should the case come up. It will probably not be settled at this meet ing. Qulgley would be hostile to Washburn"s Interests In the matter as would sriarrner of the Normal. Lans- don and Woods would probably stand by wasnDurn, wnicn would make a tie vote In the committee. The Topeka conference rules have long been a bugbear to the local school. Freshmen are not allowed to play on the team of any school whose enrollment Is over 400. This keeps Washburn. K. IT. and the Aggies from playing freshmen while all the other schools have this privilege. Then the standard In scholarship of the smaller schools is much below that of Wash burn. No one at St. Mary's is ever ruled out on account of delinquency in studies, while the same holds true In Falrmount. On the other hand, St. Beauty's Aid Woman may improve her complex ion, keep her face free from pimples and humors brighten her eyes and purify the blood ty the occasional use of MM f oU Everywhere, la boa 10c mm 25a. Mary's plays Beakey, a professional foot racer, who has been in that Insti tution for only a month. The enroll ment at Manhattan and K. U. Is suffi ciently -large, that the freshmen rule does not materially decrease the squad, while this Is not the case In Washburn. The result is that Washburn will In all probability before the close of the present football season secede from the Topeka conference. -And then she will Join the Missouri valley conference. And there is no reason why she shouldn t. Last season, the Washburn team was tied for championship hon ors in this section with the University of Nebraska. And the local school for the past five years has played right along with the top notchers in the Mis souri Valley. In the Missouri Valley conference the rules are uniform. Every school must refrain from using Freshmen, .and no school is allowed to play with another school which will refuse to conform to Missouri Valley rules. This would pre vent the dinkier schools such as St. Mary's and Falrmount using freshmen and professionals when they meet ashburn. Then In the Missouri Val ley conference, the standards of schol arship are practically on the same level. Out at Washburn every night this week, the entire squad is being given a gruelling practice, getting In readiness for the Drake game, which is scheduled for next Saturday end is the hardest on the Washburn schedule. The entire lineup with the exceptions of Captain Robb and possibly Hope will play. Robb still has a bad side as a result of the rough Haskell game, while Hope's shoulder Is not mending very fast. Hope's place at quarter will be taken by McVey, while Whitney will play fullback. That the Drake game will be a hotly contested battle is evident from the record of the Drake team this season. Not once have the Hawkeyes been scored upon while they have managed to roll up some pretty big scores on opposing teams. The defense of the Drakes Is said to be the best In the west which is shown by the untarnish ed goal line. Their offense isn't so strong but It will be a hard game, with the odds slightly in favor of the visit ing team. Seats have been placed on sale at Fullerton's and are going fast, which bespeaks a large attendance for this important game. POU THE BLUE RIBBON. Chicago and Minnesota to light Sat urday for Western Honors, Chicago, Oct. 28. Chicago and Minnesota will clash on Saturday in a game which will go a long way to ward deciding the western champion ship. Both elevens did not play last Saturday, preferring to have the day for practice and not take chances of injuring the players in games. The contest will be played at Mar shall field, and already a record DreaKlng crowd is promised. The Gopher football fans will come down In hundreds to root for their favorites, in the hope of taking the western championship back to Minneapolis. the railroads have made a special rate of $6 for the round trip, which should swell the Gopher attendance. The game will be a battle between teams playing the old and the new game. Chicago easily is the best ex ponent of the new rules, while Min nesota clings to the old tactics. The Gophers have a powerful line, which should make their old plays strong, especially those through the line and off tackle. Chicago will depend upon speed, agility, and ability to manipu late the forward pass. In kicking, one of the most Impor tant departments of the present game, the Maroons will have a great advan tage, as Steffens should outklck by several yards the best attempts of McGovern, the Gopher booter. It Is hardly likely that Chicago will be able to gain consistently, and punting will be their strongest game. Weather conditions must be taken into consideration, for Minnesota, with Its heavy team, would have a great advantage on a wet field, as their old style plays would gain much better and the Chicago backs would not be able to make their forward passes with any degree of accuracy. PAP KG "SHOULD WIN. Ketchel Will Never Regain Ills Lost Title Says J. J. Jeffries. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 28. James J. Jeffries,, who refereed the Papke- Ketchel fight at Vernon, when Papke won by a knockout, said that Papke should repeat his performance when the two men meet again next month in San Francisco. "Billy Papke should successfully de fend his title as middle weieht cham pion of the world when he meets Stanley Ketchel next month," said Jeffries. "I have been besieged on all sides for an opinion as to the out come of this return bout, but this is the first time I have gone on record. I was the third man In the ring when they fought at Vernon and had every opportunity to see and Judge of all that took place Inside the roDes of that historic occasion. Papke showed me that he was a better man than Ketchel. Many ring followers look on the first knockdown in that fight as being in the nature of a Mucky punch.' I can't see it that way. Papke floored Ketchel the first time in the opening round with a terrible left drive to the chin. It was delivered while Ketchel was on his guard and In complete possession of all his fighting forces. "What took place after this first decisive punch is a matter of pugilistic history. Ketchel for the next eleven rounds stood up- under one of the most cruel beatings ever administered to a fighter in the ring. This very beating itself stands like a stone wall between Ketchel and his chances of retaking his lost title from Papke, as he will never be able to forget the whipping he endured on that day, nor will he ever be able to shake off its effects." Cyclone Johnny Favorite. San Francisco, Oct. 28. According to information received from the training camp of "Cyclone Johnny" Thompson at Colma, Cal., his fight with Boer TTnhola is to be held Thurs day night instead of Friday, as orig inally scheduled. Jack Welch Is to be the third man in the ring. Thomp son's manager writes that the Illi nois boy already has been Installed favorite, the odds being 10 to 8. Thompson Is In good shape and con fident of winning by the knockout route. Shrubb Defeats S Runners. Buffalo. N. T., Oct. 28. Alfred Shrubb, the world's champion runner, running five miles against Jimmy Moynihan, Billy Allen, and Bill Davis. Moynihan and Allen running a mile and a half reach, while Davis did two miles, easily defeated the trio, win ning by half a mile. Shrubb's time was 26:03 3-5. He Issued a challenge today to run Longboat any distance lor a side bet or &,uoo. American Fights Draw In France. Paris. Oct. 28.

NOCHANGEFORJOE Canlillon Says His Team Looks Good to Him. Washington Ball Club's Head Says He'll Stand Pat. PKOUD OF TW1BLEBS. Could Talk Abjut His Pitching Staff for a Week. Has the Best Shortstop and Catcher in America. Chicago, Oct. 28. "I'm going to stand pat with my club next year," says Manager Joe Cantlllon of the Wash ington team. "I have looked 'em all over and the Nationals look good to me. I think I've got the best shortstop in the country in George McBride. "Of course, I am figuring on playing Delehanty at second, and If his health Is all right next spring he will be bet ter than ever. This will allow me to shove Unglaub over to third. Bob nlav- ed the position for me In Milwaukee and I know exactly what he can do. He won't come up to Shlpke as a fielder, but it is Bob's hitting that we need. "Jerry Freeman will also show up better next season, as he will be better acquainted with the American league pitchers by that time, and as he is a natural hitter we will get the benefit of his Improved playing all around. With McBride at short and all In good condition, I believe that my infield will compare favorably with the best in the American league. "My outfield will also remain the same, with Pickering as utility man. Ganley, Clymer and Milan can do ev erything a fielder is called upon to per form, and if they could bat right-hand ed as good as they can left they would be wonders. I am not foolish enough to think the three men are up to the codd. crawrord and Mclntyre stand ard, but they are winners and men like the Tigers are not picked up every day or every year. Any one can see that Clyde Milan has improved to a won derful degree, gaining that confidence which only comes with experience, and I take it from his work that he will be better than ever next year. "Clymer's ankle has strengthened up satisfactorily and he will be in the game right along next season. Ganley is as good as the best right now and there is no one in left today for whom I would trade him. "Behind the bat I have the best catcher in the country in Charley Street. I have had some of the wisest men in baseball tell me that Street right now Is the best catcher in the country, and I guess there are a few Washington 'fans' who are willing to back me up in this assertion on account of his recent fine showing. Warner will go to Galveston, but Kahoe will remain, as he is a great help to the youngsters and la also something of a sticker. I am not troubled about catchers, as I can pull back Cliff Blankenship any time. "That brings me up to the pitching staff, and about It I can talk for a week. Just Imagine Walter Johnson being all right last;sprlng! I guess-we wouldn't have won him a few more games. With him and Tom Hughes as a starter I will have Tannehiu and Burns to fling from the south side, and as Jesse looks as good as he did five years ago perhaps this pair won't cut some ice. Then Dolly Grey is report ed to be better than Burns, which will give me three first-class southpaws. Suppose I work them day after day against the Tigers, how many hits do you suppose that great outfield would make, eh? "Charley Smith Is not the best pitch er in the world In the spring, as his arm has always bothered him, but he has been taking the treatment that Tannehill went through, and I look for him to be the 'candy kid next year. This gives me six pitchers who class up with the best In the country, and l cnai lenge any one to produce their equal In any one club. Then there are is.ee lev and Cates to fall back on in case of need, and will be very valuable next year." MISSOURI VALLEY CHAMPIONS. Situation May Be Clarified by the Games of Saturday. Lincoln. Neb.. Oct. 28. Premier honors In the buttle for the football championship of the Missouri valley conference are Involved In two grid Iron contests booked for the coming Saturday. Nebraska meets Iowa at Iowa City, and the Ames Aggies will clash with the Missouri Tigers at Columbia. Nebraska has not yet been Dltted acrainst a Missouri valley foe and neither has Ames. Missouri and Kansas, however, have made bids for the valley championship, the Tigers by scoring an unexpected victory over Iowa and the Jayhawkers by defeat ing Washington university of St. Louis. Next Saturday's conflicts, therefore, should tend to clarify the situation and furnish the dope by which the prophets may pick the win ner. The week's practice at Nebraska begins with a strong element of un certainty as to the outcome of the Cornhuskers' argument with the Hawkeyes. Past performances might argue in favor of Nebraska, for the Cornhuskers have already held Min nesota to a 0 to 0 score, while Iowa has been drubbed by Missouri. In the Nebraska camp, however, there is a strong disposition to give the Hawkeyes a much higher rating than one based on the outcome of the Iowa-Missouri game. Coach Cole figures that Iowa is a better team than Missouri and that the Tigers would be defeated if the Hawkeyes were given another chance. For this reason he anticipates a terrible bat tle when his pupils invade Iowa City next Saturday and has warned his charges that overconfldence on Ne braska's part may bring disaster, Just as It did to the Hawkeyes when they Journeyed to Columbia. The Cornhuskers were held to a FOOTBALL WASHBURN vs DRAKE Biggest gama of th season. R.Mnred seats at FulUrton's Thursday SATURDAY 3:15 p. m. low score by Haskell; but the mucky gridiron was an effective bar to the touchdowns that Nebraska anticipated and- Coach .Cole was eminently satisfied with the general result. Fumbles several times gave the braves possession of the ball within striking distance of the Nebraska goal, but the Cornhuskers were too virile on the defense to permit an in vasion of their goal. The contest, in fact, was much easier for Nebraska than the score indicates. Cole rather expects his forwards to give the Hawkeyes a deal of trouble. The beef and the muscle of the line is so nicely distributed that the average weight is better than 180 pounds. Let the forwards display the fighting spirit so essential to sucoess on the gridiron and it is a reasonable cer tainty that the Hawkevea cannot pierce the Nebraska line. Iowa's best chance will be to work the forward pass, a department In which the Hawkeyes are accorded a high rating. Having a beefv eleven. Cole has been compelled to develop his players along nnes wnere the weight could make the most of the advantage in its fa vor, but he has lately taken to drilling his men in the forward pass depart ment and has several clever forma tions up his sleeve that are exDected to baffle Iowa and every other ad versary that the Cornhuskers are booked to encounter. Cole's. pet for mation, described by his pupils aa the "Peekaboo," was not used against Haskell, and the Iowa scouts who saw the Cornhuskers and Indians flounder through the mud went awav from Lincoln without any knowledge of XNeoraska's most effective offensive plays. That they will be sprung at xowa Lrity is a foregone conclusion. Devotees to football at Nebraska have been puzzled as to why the athletic authorities at Missouri uni versity acquiesced In the protest en tered by Iowa against three of the Tigers' four-year players. The rules of the new Missouri valley conference, to Which Iowa university belongs, specify plainly that players In their fourth year should not be barred dur ing the first year of the life of the new conference. If Iowa was Justified in protesting the three Tiger players, the contract for the Missouri-Iowa game must have been different from that which will govern next Saturday's Nebraska-Iowa conflict. Manager Eager of Nebraska de clares that his contract simply sets forth that the game shall be played under the Missouri valley rules, which means that the Cornhuskers can make use of any four-year man on their squad. It so happens, however, that Nebraska has no four-year men and no contention with Iowa is possible. Iowa also holds membership in the "Big Eight," in which the three-year rule pertains, but Cornhusker sup porters hold to the view that the Hawkeyes are diplomats of surpass ing cleverness when they can take part in framing rules for the Mis souri valley conference and then force Missouri university to be governed by the regulations of the "Big Eight." The chief regret of the Cornhuskers Is that, by having no four-year play ers, like Kansas, Missouri and Ames, they will be unable to call the Iowa bluff. Here Is the design for the diamond studded gold watch fob which was pre sented to each of the New York Giants through the American's ten-cent sub scriptions. A WELCOME TO CV YOUNG. Residents of the Pitcher's Old Home Turn Out to See Him Play. Canal Dover, O., Oct. 28. Nearly 4,000 persons attended the reception tendered "Cy" Toung by the people of Tuscarawas county at this place. A feature was a ball game, which was won by Toung's team by 4 to I. It was the first time many Tuscara was county people had ever seen "Cy" in action, and when he came to bat the first time he was greeted by en thusiastic applause, which lasted sev eral minutes. The proceeds of the game were given to the Union hos pital. A club of which "Cy" has been a member for eighteen years, gave him a solid silver cup with ebony case, engraved with the names of members of the club, a picture of Young and the date. A banquet was given Young tonight by the 'ans They Settled It Amicably. Tom Hughes is a good man to have for a friend. He always has been. He can settle most any kind of a dispute.

Giren the Job of Destroying Raided Joint Goods. TWENTY-SEVEJi CASES. Were Several Jug of Whisky to Be Emptied Out. Women Sired the Bine Bibbons as Souvenirs. Pittsburg, Kan., Oct 28. W. C. T. V women with hatchets and hammers In hand smashed to smithereens twenty seven cases of beer, containing: three dozen bottles each, and several Jugs of other Bquor at the home of Constable Joe Rushton on West Kansas avenue. It was a sight that would cause the average citizen to stop and become an interested- onlooker. In fact that Is Just what happened. There wasn't a single pedestrian along Kansas avenue while the dra matic scenes were in progress that did not srtop to see the show through and aa a result a fairly good audience wit nessed the destruction of the con demned booze. The W. C. T. U. ladles had held a very interesting meeting shortly before at the home of Mrs. T. J. Wright. After the business session the women went to the home of Constable Rushton, 125 West Kansas avenue, who turned over to them all of the booze which had been seized in the raid on Walter Elliott's place Sept. 19th. The property had been ordered de stroyed after due process of law and the W. C. T. U. were invited by the constable to do the smashing. They certainly did the work thoroughly and with evident enjoyment. There were 28 members present. The labels of the Blue Ribbon beer were kept as souvenirs of the occasion. Every minister in the city was ex tended an invitation to be present at the hatchet play and most of them were there. POLICY SETTLED CHEAP. Insurance of $5,000 Is Compromised for the Sura of $750. Atchison. Kan., Oct. 28. When the late J. L. Robinson met his death in an automobile accident he carried ac cident insurance to the amount of $5,000. The policy was originally in the Masonic company, but recently merged into the Northwestern. When one takes out an accident policy the risk is rated under a certain -class, ac cording to the line of work the appli cant is engaged in. When the policy was written, Mr. Robinson was a dis patcher at the Missouri Pacific offices, a risk that came under class "A," and he was allowed the full amount, $5,000. After being relieved from this position and Mr. Robinson became a demonstrator of an automobile the risk, under the laws of the company, was made more hazardous, with the maximum death claim of only $500. A representative of the company re cently came here to settle the claim with Mrs. Robinson, and that was the first intimation she had that the com pany would not settle the policy in full. The representative had been to Horton, where the accident occurred, and gathered evidence. The company told him to settle the claim for $500. Being an old friend of the late Mr. Robinson and knowing the extenuating circumstances that Mr. Robinson was soon to be reinstated as dispatcher, the representative said he would pay $250 more than was authorized by the company. This was agreed upon and the claim was settled for $750. EMPORIA "must"" WAKE UP. Gas Will Be There Before the Town Is Ready to Handle It. Emporia, Kan., Oct. 28. The weath er last week stopped work on the gas pipe line, but a telephone message from Cottonwood Falls said that the work of digging the ditch had started again.

DRAKE WORKING HARD. Expects Hard Game With Washburn on Saturday. Des Moines, la., Oct. 28. The Drake college football team, which was the strongest team In Iowa last season, Is working, hard here this week in ex pectation of a hard conflict when the locals meet the strong Washburn col lege eleven of Topeka on the Washburn grounds next Saturday afternoon. Last season the Washburn team won the championship of the Sunflower state and this year bids fair to be a re peater. Naturally Coach Griffith Is somewhat worried over the outlook, but he Is working his squad hard Just the same. Forty men are out In uniforms every night and if Drake don't defeat the Topeka collegians It won't be because they haven't done some hard and faithful work. The Drake squad survived the dread ed contest with Grinnell last Saturday without seriously hurting a man and this will help Griffith to put his strong est IlnujMin' the field against Wash burn. Drake defeated Grinnell 9 to 0, in a game that -was very slow on ac count of a muddy field. Near the end of the first half Captain McCoy, left half of the Drake eleven dropklcked a goal from the 30 yard line, which was a very difficult feat as the ball was soaked with water and mud and Cap tain McCoy himself was plastered with mud from head to foot. The other scoring was rather fluky. Drake block ed a punt on the ten yard line and then fell on the ball back of the goal line. Thus far, the Drake team has not been scored upon. And several hard fought games have been played. The best score made by Drake was against Coe. when 30 points were piled up. The weakness of the Drake team thus far has been its offense. Coach Griffith has developed a wonderful defense with his pupils, and little has been feared yet. But the Washburn team will be by far the strongest met thus far by Drake, and something more than de fense will be needed. Last season for ward passes were the chief ground gainers for the Drake team, but so far this season Coach Griffith has not re sorted to this means very much. He has Instructed his pupils along the old style game. But he will probably work up some passes that will prove strong enough to score on the Topekans. Thus far the scoring department of the game has been built up around Captain McCoy, who. in addition to be ing a fast halfback. Is a great kicker, and has been able to dropkick goals In nearly every game. He will bear the brunt of the attack on the Washburn team next Saturday. In the line smash ing game played thus far this season. Herrlck. the left tackle has been the star. The Drake team has a hard schedule ahead. After the Washburn game, the team plays the Missouri university team here. Coach Monilaw was in at tendance at the game with Grinnell Saturday, but failed to get much of a line on the Iowans play, as the muddy field prevented much open work. Two weeks from Saturday comes the hard fought game with the University of Iowa which will be played at Iowa City. A stadium Is being built here whu-h will be in readiness In a couple oi days, ana as soon as this is com pleted the Drake team will practice mere ana inuuige in secret practice. The lineup which will appear against Washburn next Saturday win be: Bel den, left end; Herrlck. left tackle; Hubbard, left guard: Warren, center! Wilson, right guard; Scharnbtirg. right ittL-wp; vvuuuiuw, ngnt ena; jvans, quarterback; McCoy (captain), left half; Wilson, right half, and Purdy, fullback. Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which gradually gets into the circulation because of indigestion, constipation, weak kidney action, and other irregularities of the system which are sometimes considered of no importance. This uric acid causes an inflamed and irritated condition of the blood, and the circulation instead of nourishing the different portions of the body, continually deposits into the nerves, muscles, tissues and joints, the irritating, pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Rheu matism can only be cured by a thorough cleansing of the blood, and this is just what S. S. S. does. It goes down into the circulation, and by neutral izing the uric acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and surely removes the cause. S. S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony thoughout the sys tem, it becomes an invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and vigor to every part of the body and relieving the suSering caused by this disease. S. S. S. being a purely vegetable blood purifier, is the surest and safest cure for Rheumatism in any of its forms. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice desired sent free to all who write.

The hut is situated three miles north of Lemont, between the tracks of the San ta Fe road and the pile of broken rock which skirts the canal. Every member of the family was clothed In rags. The older of the two children a girl of 3 years was prac tically naked. She moved restlessly on the wet pile of straw upon which she tried to sleep. Her body was covered only by the rags of what once was an overcoat. The mother elapsed a baby to her breast. Hungry as she was and cold, the mother asked only for milk that she might feed the baby, which cried pitifully and shivered In the damp air. Early yesterday morning some one telephoned to the Chicago bureau of charity and reported that a family was living or starving, to be exact at the poim mentioned. ihe case was at once reported to Charles Kruck. supervisor of Stickney lownsmp, in wnich the place is located ihe man gave his name as Jacob tsrunsKv.

The effect of the depression is shown In the decrease in total operating reve nue, which fell off $1,654,476, or 2.8 per cent, which is largely accounted for in the great slump in freight earnings, amounting to $2,316.54. Passenger earnings, on the other hand, increased $539,571, in spite of the panic year and the 2 cent a mile fare laws which were passed last year in many of the states through which the road operates. The number of passen gers carried increased 1.578,348. Operating expenses show an increase of $1,515,925, or 3.7 per cent, and taxes increased $113,856, or 6.8 per cent. There was no reduction in the dividend rate, 6". per cent for the year, but the bal ance profit and loss surplus suffered a serious reduction or ,6as,i to 817. or 82.99 per cent. The number of freight train miles Shows a decrease of 289,874. the revenue per ton mile remaining at 94 cents, ai though the passenger revenue increas ed, the number of passenger train miles decreased 7.897.

A conference was held in iul Reno d'n-inB the past week between olT.c-rs of u:e ort Smith and Western ami the If I Reno. Red River and Pacific, under which name the extension will be built. Piesi dent Dustin of Cleveland and General Manager ttushnell of Fort Smith were araons the Kurt Smith and Wester.i rlf; c:als in attendance. l ne t ort Smith and Western was financed, when built several years ago from Fort Smith to Guthrie, by the Frick interests of Pittsburg, and it is under stood that the same interests axe financing me extension. Following the completion of the road to Guthrie the Fort Smith and W estern then purchased the St. Louis. El Reno and Southwestern, a sixty-mile line between Guthrie and El Reno, thus giving the parent road an outlet south west. The extension now contemplated will connect the Guthrie-Kl Reno line with the Orient main linfc at some point near the Red river. The comDlete line of the Lawton, Wich ita Falls and Northwestern Railroad ex tending from Wichita Fails. Tex., to Law ton, Ok., is to be in operation within twelve months. Full financial backing fur the construction has been secured. The l:ne is now under construction, ajid cars will be running into Randlett within sixty days. The contract for an additional twentv miles of the road toward I jaw ion was let during the past week.

FREE PASSES MAY BE GTVEN To Former Employes Eli Route to Return to Service. Washington, Oct. 28. Free 'passes may be Issued to bona fide ex-employes oi a railroad who are traveling to re enter the railroad service. Passes can not b extendied to the families of em ployes, who died a natural death while In the service of common car riers, though that privilege is accorded to families of employes killed in the service. These are among the rulings announced by the interstate commerce commission today. The commission holds that a rail road may provide in its tariffs that whenever, because of washouts or other accidents, passengers are delay ed beyond their ticket limit or so as to curtail their stop over privileges, the conductor or other agent may by endorsement on the ticket extend the time to cover such time. This is to be honored by succeeding conductors on the company's lines but no carrier can provide such extension over lines other than its own, except when provided in a proper Joint tariff. The commission also has authorized changing (by not over thirty days) the terms of short time excursion fare tariffs under certain conditions. When the excursion is limited to not more than three days, changes to be posted one day in advance in two public places lor these reasons: Changes of dates or meeting, ex tension of the return limit, additional selling dates, additional stop over privileges, etc. If the excursion Is limited to between three and thirty days, cancellation or tariff or change in its terms may be made on like no tice of three days. AMEND COMMISSION LAW. Nebraska IiOglslarnre Asked to Make Many Changes. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 28. The next Nebraska legislature, regardless of its political complexion, will be asked to make changes in the law creating the state railway commission. The law enacted two years ago was under Re publican auspices, and while it has been criticised and was opposed by some of the Democratic members, has stood the test of constitutionality be fore the supreme court and is now ac cepted as a wise piece of legislation. It was strongly opposed by the rail roads, who claimed that it was full of defects and would impose burdens on the carriers not contemplated by even the framers. The state railway commission, which is made up of Hudson J. Win nett as chairman, Henry T. Clarke, jr., and Joseph A. Williams, the latter a candidate for re-eiection, itself recommends some changes, and in its annual report, which will soon be pre sented to Gov. Sheldon, points out changes it regards as necessary to make the law more effective. The commission says a few minor correc tions will remove any objections thus far developed to the law as it now stands, and recommends that all moneys received in the form of fees for transcripts be appropriated by the commission for its use in conducting the department.

The department has served notice upon the management of the New Tork Central and Lake Shore roads that If they do not desire to ac cept pay upon the basis of the short line mileage between New York and Chicago, then the large mail tonnage which is now carried by those roads will be turned over to the Pennsyl vania. The order states that the new basis shall date from the last re weighlng of the mails, which was July, 1907. To comply with the demand of the government will cost the railroads named at least $225,000 every four year period between the reweighing of the mails. The New York Central lines management has not decided what It will do. but it Is not likely that It will permit these roads to lose the prestige which they have had for years as the fast transcontinental mail route. IGXORE TEXAS BOARD. Roads Continue Exclusive Contract for Express Business. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 28. Despite the fact that the Texas railroad com mission will not approve the contracts of the railroads and the express com panies, which are made In violation of the Texas anti-trust laws, the roads and the express companies continue to do business In the same old way. The commission charges that for a railroad to make an ex clusive contract with any one ex press company to operate over its line Is a violation of the anti-trust laws. Charges had been made against every railroad and express company operating in the state some time ago, but before the cases were finally dis posed of by the courts, a compromise was effected through the attorney general's office whereby the roads paid a $5,000 penalty. The railroads and express com panies continue, however, to operate under the same, methods. A large number of these contracts have Just been renewed, and while the railroad commission has refused to approve them, as the law requires, no attention has been paid to the commission's ruling. The railroads merely answered that it Is Impossible for two or more express companies to operate over any one railroad system. The roads get 50 per cent of the gross receipts and furnish the cars and haul them. TOPEKA RATS Are They Store Numerons Here Than In Other Cities?

Topeka welcomes the establishment of a new and extensive factory In her midst. May it be the forerunner of many others as it probsbly will be as soon as the owners of factories and enterprises In other parte are educated to the fact. that there are few localities In this section of the country which present so many advantages for manu facturing plants as does Topeka. In' the current Issue of the Review of Reviews, Walter' Wellman makes a happy suggestion. It is that through the many and onerous positions in the administration of the affairs of the na tion In which Mr. Taft has been placed he has been trained by the American people for the presidency. Assuredly there have been few candidates for this high office who have been better quali fied by experience to fill it. Epicurean note. Lobsters are cheap er now than they were last year and according to those versed In lobsterol ogy the retail price of these macrurous crustaceans will be only one-half what It la now In three or four years time. But then this Is hardly of much inter est to the people In this neighborhood who are a couple of thousand miles from where lobsters live until death turns them Into a. delectable morsel of food. Although the ending of all differ ences In denominational creeds through a unification of the churches In the world, a happening' predicted by one of the ministers to the church conference which Just closed In this city, is most desirable. It is safe to say that It will not come to pass any soon er than will the establishment of uni versal peace throughout the world and the creation of an International gov ernment to run the nations of the earth. Barely there Is a lesson foa every gaa consumer in the nearly fatal asphyxiation of a small family in this city recently because'no pipe had been provided to carry off from a small gas tove the noxious and dangerous gases wtolch are generated by the burning gas. Too great care can not be exer cised in the setting up and operation Of gas stoves. If a look could be taken Into every home in the city of Topeka the chances are that many gas stoves would be found which are not proper ly provided with vent pipes. They should be equipped with them in short order, Topeka and Wichita have finally come into their own in the baseball world. For some time past they have teft a little out of their class in the Western Association and their Jump into the Western League is the proper Step for them to take. It will mean a better grade of baseball in two of the most progressive cities in the state and two of the best baseball towns In the central western section of the country. That the Wichita and Topeka teams will give a good account of themselves in the Western League next year al- most goes without saying and they will still be rivals for the baseball honors of Kansas which will be a good thing for both teams and both towns. Kinney county's board of health has taken a proper stand that could well be followed by similar authorities throughout the state. It proposes to bar teachers, who are not in good health, from the schools. The chances are, however, that there are not many teachers in the state who suffer with sicknesses of any kind and to any ex tent. Their constitutions and health bust of necessity, be of the first water else they could not for long stand up under the strains that' are placed upon them. If there is a hard Job, a wear ing, tearing sort of a Job, under the sun It is that of a teacher, regardlees of the fact that some people can be found who think otherwise. And as a rule the pay of a teacher is never commen surate with the duties imposed. AS THE CAMPAIGN WANES. These be stirring times in the political arena and this week in which the campaign wanes will undoubtedly be the most active one of any of the many weeks of activity which have gone before it Particularly is this true in the several states which are rkupit us "doubtful" and esbeclally so J In New Tork state, which is conceded to be one of the pivotal battlegrounds in the great political struggle. Both Mr. Taft and Mr. Byan are putting in the last hours of the fight in sweep ing tours of the Empire state and so far the honors seem to be about even between them in the magnitude of the crowds they have drawn and the demonstrations which have been ac corded them. This unusual attention which Is be ing given to New York In the final days of the campaign ta being de voted with good reason. -"As rew York goes so goes the election" has been a familiar cry in all presidential campaigns and there Is a good deal of truth in It although it is, not neces sarily infallible. How it will go this year is really problematical to the best informed of the political, experts who are unprejudiced. Prominent Democrats are contending that Mr. Bryan will sweep the state with a majority of. 150,000 while equally prominent Republicans are satisfied that Mr. Taft will have no trouble in walking away with New York's thirty-nine electoral votes with a handsome majority of at least 100, 000. And both sides are sincere in their predictions. But the great divergence between the. forecasts of the leaders in both parties is the, best evidence in the world as to the un certainty as to Just how he state will go and this uncertainty is voiced by the opinions of the leading news papers In New York city. Mr. Taffs adherents believe that he will win the presidency even if he does not carry New York and according to this reasoning Mr. Bryan must cer tainly carry New York to have any possible chance for success. There are several other "doubtful states which will play an Important part in the result of the contest when the votes are finally canvassed. Two of these are Ohio, Mr. Taft's home state, and Indiana. Mr. Taft seems certain in his own mind that he will carry off a majority In his native state. He recently remarked that he would not deserve the presidency if he could not carry Ohio but me Bryanites insist that their candidate has more than an even chance of winning a victory in the Buckeye state. And the same general doubt exists aa to the outcome in Indiana. This is Mr. Kern's home state but it must be admitted that he has never shown much strength as a vote gatherer in Indiana, having once been defeated in a gubernatorial contest and also in a United States senatorial race. A number of states of more or less minor importance because of the smallness of their electoral votes are also put in the doubtful column by the political wiseacres but the pre vailing opinion is ihat the presi dential contest will in reality hinge on the results in New York, Indiana, and Ohio. Predictions can be found on all sides that there will be great surprises when the vote of the country is counted. These are to the effect that the party which is successful will be landsllded to victory. Some persons look for Mr. Bryan's election through a landslide that will sweep the coun try. Others insist that Mr. Bryan will be the victim of a landslide and that Mr. Taft will carry off the honors with an overwhelming majority in the electoral college. But the conditions existing throughout the country, as near as they can be observed, would not seem to warrant such predictions and the chances are great that the election will be one of the closest In the history of presidential campaigns in the United States with the indica tions favoring the Republican candi date. ITS VICIOUS TirVTAOLKK. The latest batch of letters stolen from the archives of the Standard OH company to be made public by Mr. Hearst are even a trifle more sensa tionally startling than were the oth ers. They show that this great trust, which is considered by President Roosevelt and many others to be most inimical to the people of this country and its government, did not even hes itate to secure the appointment of men to high Judicial positions, men who presumably would be watchful Of its interests. These letters only show that this was done by Mr. Archbold, evidently the arch conspirator in the big con cern, in Pennsylvania, where he sug gested the appointment of certain men to the supreme bench of that state and where his suggestions were acted on with an alacrity that speaks wonders for the power Mr. Arch bold and his company wielded in the affairs of Pennsylvania." But- it is most reasonable to suppose that Mr. Archbold did not confine his activities in this line to Pennsylvania. It is quite likely that the courts of other states, which are or have been "ma chine" ridden in the sarnie way that Pennsylvania has, have been prosti tuted in the self same way by the grease of Standard Oil. Perhaps it Is well for the peace of mind of the whole people of the coun try, certainly for the peace of mind of various men who have disabused the public trusts which have been conferred upon them by the people by being subservient to the interests of this glgantio corporation, that the se- cret history of the pollution of po litical and publlo life in this country by the Standard Oil crowd will never be written. The letters made public by Mr. Hearst are probably but the briefest excerpts from what would be an ignoble chronicle, Enough of it has been given to the world, however, to warrant the people In demanding the elimination of this octopus from public affalra. The evi dence that It has tampered with the courts is sufficient for such a demand even though it had never committed any other overt act. For the courts of this land should be held well nigh sacred. To them have the people a last recourse from oppression of any and every kind, even oppression at the hands of the government through legislation which it is possible for the Judiciary to set aside as naught if it is unconstitutional, if it Infringes on the people's slightest right. Probably the Standard Oil company does not now wield the influence in public and political life that it did a few years ago. One reason, an-a very good one, for this is that it like ly has, through its paid agents in prominent positions to. which the peo ple have elevated them, secured every possible thing it could desire and has so strongly entrenched itself that it is not now easily open to effective at tacks. Most assuredly will it be wary In the future of exerting corrupting influences. This is a good thing, but It will be better for the people to see, through the men that they can put in office hereafter, that it will never get a chance.

GLOBE SIGHTS. tFrom the Atchison Globe. Occasionally, you meet a mother who looks sorry she isn't an old maid. It is a woman's favorite theory that every widower's heart should be In tho grave. Everything else about a boy suffers a good deal before his appetite is im paired. Everv occupation seems easier than your own except that of taking care of the baby. It rives a woman dyspepsia to see a man eating with his knife, instead Of with his fork. A newspaper used In a house as a window curtain, looks mighty shiftless from the outside. There is an alarming tendency In wo men to look for something to reform in every mm who likes them. We have noticed that most Jokes told by men either relate the experiences of an Irishman, or a couple lately mar ried. All the popular songs represent a man imploring a girl to love him. though it is doubtful if much imploring has to be done. When the weather is bright, and the women are on the streets, a polite man does nothing but take off his hat. and bow, and tie horses to telephone poles. The first fault a girl finds with her mother is that she is too patient with father, and her first criticism of father is that he doesn't appreciate mother at her worth. It has been learned that Artie Apple ton hangs around his girl so constantly all day, that her real mission to Kan sas City last week was not to buy a suit, as she said, but to get a chance to wash her head. We know of an excellent chance for a shiftless young man. An Atchison girl is studying medicine, and will graduate in two years. She Is very bright, and will have a good practice. She will be able to make a good living for a shiftless young man.' KANSAS' COMMENT THE LONE TEACHER. The trustees of a certain school in Trego county are. rending their rai ment and casting ashes upon their beards. Last year that school had fifteen pupils, and.it was natural to suppose that there would be as many at the next session; so the trustees entered into a contract with a radiant dam 2e. whereby she was to instruct the children, and they were to furnish fuel for the abode of knowledge, and pay her )40 a month through the term. By a curious combination of cir cumstances. thA families tft whom those fifteen children belonged, have all moved out of the district, and the id. nines mat moved in had no such incumbrances, or- hlesslnra an o tb only person who goes to that school is the teacher, and she is having the time of her life. fene arrives at the school at half past 8 in th-e momlnnr and mfl.Vp n fire, and has everything nice and cozy at 9 o'clock, for the children who do not com. At the proper time she rings the bell, and declares that school is in session, and then, as the hypothetical pupils get down to their tasks, she reaches down Into her va lise and produces the latest work by Laura Jean Libbey, or a copy of The Complete Work of Nick -Carter, and reads until twelve, when she dismisses school, eats her lunch and stirs up the fire. The same program .obtains In the afternoon, ani the onlv thing that worries her is the fact that she Is running short of detective stories. The good old trustees are frantic over this condition of affairs, and they have written to Superintendent Fair child, who holds that the teacher Is entitled to her wages so long as sh appears at the school in time every day, and goes through the motions of teaching children. Alas for those, trustees! It Is reallv a pity that there are men In Kansas bo steeled In prejudice that they can't appreciate the humor of the Trego county situation, and extract a lot of fun from It. Emporia Oazette. THE WISEQUTS. The Innocent man occasionally gets held up. but the sleuths say the man who believes he Is wise as to the ways of the world is the most likely vic tim for crooks and confidence men. And of the men who are robbed in the cities, a great number might keep their purse intact if they would only behave themselves. Having money, they start out to "have a time," absorb a lew drinks, show their roll, and are robbed; not simply because they have the money, but because,, in their haste to get it In circulation, they visit places most likely to be frequented by tough characters. However, this is only one little Instance of the folly of drunken ness. The money a man Is robbed of when he goes on a spree possibly does him as much good as if he had kept it to prolong the debauch. Liquor is not conductive to economy or caution any more than to other traits of good sense. Atchison Globe. FROM OTHER PENS WOMEN WHO OPPOSE SUFFRAGE. One of the speakers iivathe woman's suffrage convention at Buffalo,. N. Y., told the-story of "the appearance of a "Lady Bountiful" at a legislative, hear ing, who came to plead with the com mittee "not .to burden her with the duties of citizenship, .but to leave her free to carry on her philanthropies and charities." Apart froro the., snobbish ness of the plea, this woman's state ment was interesting, because sh"! probably was performing duties al ready which required more Intelligent and more laborious effort than would have been necessary to support any "burden" of the duties of citizenship. Sir Theodore Martin, an old friend of Queen Victoria, and after her death a biographer, published a letter which the queen wrote to him in 1870, ex pressing her anxiety "to enlist every one who can-speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'wo man's rights,' with- all its attendant horrors, on which her poor, feeble sex Is bent." The unprejudiced reader of such' a communication, bearing in mind the ability with which the writer played the man's part that fate had assigned her, would be likely to conclude that the "poor, feeble sex" was hardly ex hibiting any "mad, wicked folly" in asking for the right of suffrage for wo men. Boston Globe 0 THE SUBTLE FEMALE. As woman gradually Impressed upon man the futility of strutting around in finery, and the necessity of being prac tically useful, his garb has become more and more sober and workaday in appearances. Ethnologists tell us that the decorations of primitive man wer intended to fascinate feminine eyes; but woman presently began to make it clear that she was not hunting for "a fine, showy article," but something solid, and plain, and useful, warranted to stand wear and. tear. As for the ornamental role, she was going to rep resent the family, herself, in that line. In fact, when one reflects how man has been stripped of gauds, and wheedled out of his fripperies one by one. one cannot help feeling a tender pity for this victim of femlnin self aggrandizement. Poor, timid trembler! a vague, general fear of the female sex haunts him. Afraid of being mar ried against his will, he is circum vented by some subtle female creature who makes him think that it is his will to marry her. An observer remarks that a man very' often, in running away from the right woman, runs straight into the arms of the wrong woman. And the Wrong Woman, that great opportunist, is always waiting there to block his head-long flight and switch It towards the altar. New Or leans Times-Democrat. SUFFRAGE IN GEORGIA. At the recent election the voters of Georgia ratified, by a large majority, the constitutional amendment which is avowedly designed to disfranchise a majority of the blacks. There are those who assert that the ballot will be taken from 90 or even 95 per cent of the ne groes, but Democratic leaders question such estimates. To be able to vote a person must pos. sess at least one of the- following qualifications:- He must have served honorably In one of the wars of the state or of the nation. He must be descended from some one who rendered such service. He must be of good character and have an understanding Of the duties of American citiaenship. He must possess either a certain education or a certain flmmmt rif nronerty. Ill luck has attended the attempts that have been made so far to obtain a smnreme court decision on the validity of grandfather clauses. If the Georgia amendment Btands.-he question of the application by the registrars of th "character" and "understanding" te.ts will assume the maximum of Impor tance.

Chicago Evening Post. Austrian Railroads Ideal. "I don't think the railroads of Austria can be surpassed anywhere," said-M. I. Sonnenchein, of Prague, Austria, "and to government ownership must be attributed the excellence of our sys tem. The government now owns every mile of railroad In the country, and trains are always on time. -"We -have first, second, and third classes, and the rates for the very best are below what they are in the United States. Accommodations in the second and" third classes are good, the only distinction between the three grades being in the quality of the furniture. Any one traveling third class has all the comforts enjoyed by the average passenger on a train- in this country. "The employes are very efficient, and they hold their positions for life or as long as they perform their duties sat isfactorily, A serious blunder on the part of any employe means his instant discharge. After a certain period of faithful service, employes are retired and receive a pension sufficiently large for them to live on. This system has worked well, and has resulted In Aus tria having the most efficient railroad men to be found anywhere. "The railroad police are a distinctive feature in my country, and they do a great work along the line of preventing accidents. Every policeman has a post a mile in length along the railroad track, and he patrols it as regularly as the policemen in the cities patrol their beats. The government boasts another novelty a railroad regiment. This regi ment consists of men who are skilled in all railroad matters, and in time of war or other disturbance they take posses sion oi tne roaas ana operate all the trains in the country. "The Austrian government also owns and operates all street car systems, telephone and telegraph lines and other public utilities. The fares on 'the street cars are less' than they are here, beinc generally the equivalent of about three cents. I must say I consider that some of your railroads here offer very inade quate service, especially when the rates charged are taken into consideration." Baltimore American. x The Dow-Ponds of the Ancient-.- One of the prehistoric methods used In securing a water supply in sections where it was impossible to secure it from natural sources, or where it be came necessary to live on elevated ter ritory for defense, was by the construc tion or dew-ponds. These dew-ponds were made by hol lowing out the earth for a space far in excess of the apparent requirements of such a pond, then thickly covering the whole of the hollow with a coating of straw. The straw, in its turn, was cov ered by a layer of well-chosen, finely puddled clav and the upper surface of the clay closely strewn wth stones. Such a pond will gradually become filled with water, the more rapidly the larger it is, even though no rain may fall. During the warmth of a summer day the earth will store a considerable amount of heat, while the pond, pro tected from tne heat by the noncon ductlvity of the straw, is at the same time chilled by the clay. The conse quence it-that during the night the moisture of the comparatively warm air is condensed on the surface of the cold clay. As the condensation dur ing the night is in excess of the evap oration during the day, the pond be- oence Is that during the night the comes, night by night, gradually filled. Popular Mechanics.

Vlneland (N. J.) Dl snatch to Philadelphia Ledger. THE EVENING STORY In Place of Paul. By Epes W. Sargent.) "That revolver again?" asked Mas grave, with a laugh that did not cover the irritation that it was Intended to conceal. "It seems to me, Jeanne, that you are always fooling with that murderous-looking thing." "Not always," was the grave re sponse. "For whol-e weeks it lies in the' top drawer, 'Frank, but once a month I take It out and clean it that it may always be ready and that I may not forget as though' I ever could," she added wildly. Musgrave shuddered.. He disliked the sight of weapons, and there was something sinister in the care with which the girl kept the revolver al ways in good condition. It was no pearl-handled toy such as a woman might be supposed to carry, but a blue barreled .45 that would "stop" a man with a single shot; the sort of a weapon that was meant for men. It struck a Jarring note in the fem ininity of Jeanne Barthon's person ality. It was absurd and yet repelling that the dainty little artist should de vote so much time to the car of the black-muzzled threat. All about were half-finished sketches, bits of French seacoast, Ideal heads and fashion drawings in odd Confusion' with a handsome toilet over a dressmaker's form in one corner. Jeanne herself was essentially femi nine; a tiny mite of a woman with a coronet of golden hair surmounting a fragile face. Sh was scarcely five feet tall, and the gun was oddly out of proportion. Musgrave sank into a chair .from which he swept the fashion magazines to the floor and watched the girl with gloomy face, "Perhaps it will be as Well to tell you my secret, Frank," she said at length when the weapon had been oiled and reassembled. "Then you will understand- my care and also whv I cannot promise to marry you, dear. It ia best that you should un derstand." "I have no wish to pry Into your secrets." he demurred. "They can not be very important except your reason for not wanting to marry me. You admit that you are unmarried and free and that you love me. Those are the essentials." "Unmarried? Yes," the girl breath ed tensely, "but free? No. It is that I would tell you, -dear, so sit that I may not see the horror in your face, and do not speak until I have finished. Sit so," she added as she placed a chair so tha it stood directly before her own. "It is the gun with which some day I am to kill a man," she began, plung ing into the .middle of her story. "Do not stir until I say that you may. I cannot talk If you Interrupt. It is hard enough to tell even "Then don't tell." urged the man. "You never will kill a man. You are afraid even of the dark." "Of the dark, yes," she admitted softly, "but when the moment of revenge comes I shall shoot to kill, with, never a thought or what will fol low. They may not kill me, but I will spend years in prison, and all because I have done the Justice that men would not do. That is why I may not marry. "I had A brother once. He was all that I had. Not even cousins had I, and when my Paul-went to your Klon dike, I grieved and grieved, even though he had promlsetl that in -pne year he would return -with million of francs and I should enter the atelier of the great artist with whom I "would study and become famous. "For a year I had his letters, then none came. I said that mails were not regular In that far-off lantt, ana so I waited almost another year. Then with tha little money that I had I sought him. for I knew that evil must have befallen. "I Journeyed across this great land to the frozen-North, and there I learned the worst. Paul was dead killed by his friend, they said nis friend who could shoot him down for the little gold that he had. "They- said It was all an -accident. Bah! Men who handle guns do not have accidents. Is it reasonable to tell that one is killed by another by accident? This man said that he was cleaning his revolver and that It went oft by itself. They had let him go. He had fled the scene. He came to New York, they said, and he was a lawyer. "There was a little photograph of him. That I brought with me. Of course he would shave his beard, but I have made other sketches you have seen them with the face clean shaven and with the mustache. One mark he had; a great scar across th cheek. It Is his brand of Cain. By it I shall know him. "Now I study art no more. I draw fashions because it pays; and when I am Idle I haunt the courts. I look for a lawyer with a great scar, and when I find him this gun shall speak." Musgnave had risen from th chair, and as she spoke she raised the re volver and pointed It at an Imaginary foe. His turning disconcerted her, the gun wavered, tnere was a report and the bullet seared Musgrave's arm. With a cry of horror the girl sprang to his side. 4-- v "I have killed you!" she -gasned. "You, my dearest friend, I have shot I It Was not for you that the revolver was meant. You were right. I was wrong to keep it. Oh, my dear!" She sank sobbing beside him, endeavj orlng to roll up the sleeve and stanch the blood that now trickled in a tiny stream down his arm. Musgrave push ed her from him. "It was right," he cried hoarsely. "The shot hit the man f6r Whom it was Intended,- but you did not aim at the heart. Was your brother Paul Dei- plaines?" "That w-as my mother's name," ahe explained. "Paul took it so that when he should return, uespiaines, trie min er, and Barthon, the millionaire, would not be the same. It was childish but he was but a boy." "It was common to us other names," said Musgrave harshly. "I was Jack Joyce up there."

From the Chicago News.1 When a woman has her hair fixed up she Is half dressed. Lot's wife may have been peppery be fore she turned to salt. It's awfully bard for a crooked man to keep in a straight path. A man may follow his natural bent and yet be perfectly straight. Probably a fountain pen Is so called because it Is forever overflowing. You can flatter a homely man by tell ing him that his baby looks like him. Many a girl who marries for money doesn't even draw a housekeeper's sal ary. If you require food for thought go to the publlo library and get a free lunch Beauty Is only skin deep, but th skin of a rhinoceros is too deep to show it ud to advantage. And It occasionally happens that af ter sowing his wild oats a young man reaps a grass widow. A woman would rather have a man say he loved 'her and lie about It than have him really love her and say noth ing. A spendthrift, like a buzz saw, scat ters lots of dust while running around, and has nothing but his board to show for it. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From th Philadelphia Record.

On December 1 the old Sandy Hook lightship which for half a century has marked the western end of the Transatlantic travel will go out of ex istence and the name will never again appear on the logs of steamers crossing the ocean. In place of the old ship will be an esrtirely new one and on Its side will be painted the words "Ambrose Chan nel." The old landmark, or rather sea mark, will disappear and the name that has for hair n century been one of the most prominent in the annals of naviga tion will disappear forever. The original lightship was anchored in its place more than fifty years ago and the present vessel was put into commis sion In 1S92. When It was decided two years ago that the present ship would not last much longer a new one was ordered and has now been completed. With the opening of the new Ambrose channel ships will not approach within three miles of Sandy Hook and for that reason an unsentimental lighthouse board has decid ed to substitute its name for the old and honored one of Sandv Hook. The board Is prepared for all sorts of protests from those who wish to still cling to the old name, but has fully decided that navi gators must use the new one. mere win be no change in the lights or fog signals.

Climbs Lofty Mountain in Face of Driving Snow. MANY DEEP DRIFTS These Were Encountered Overcome on the "Way. No Break or Accident to the Record. and Mar Colorado Springs, Col., Oct. 28. A Great Smith automobile has made the successful ascent of Pike's Peak in the face of a driving snow storm and the Ave passengers returned to Colorado Springs no worse for their hazardous and trying experience. The touring car used to make the ascent was in charge of Mr. F. C. Nessley of the Denver Motor Car com pany and was one that has been used by the company all summer for demonstration purposes. It carried be sides Mr. Nessley, Mr. J. W. McCluen of Topeka and Mr. William Collier, Mr. Frank Greenfield and Mr. Leo Gabler of Denver. The start was made in the early morning and when the party reached Manitou they could see the sheets of snow driven by the wind and swirling around the projections on the mountain side. The peak was obscured from view and the masses of clouds which hung over the range indicated a continuance of the storm which was then raging. The ordinary traveler would have turned back and waited for fairer weather but Mr. Nessley and his companions were not to be swerved from their purpose and the ascent was begun by making the rather easy drive up the Ute pass to Green Mountain Fails and then dropping into the old wagon road which served for the pas sage of vehicles before the cog road was built but which has since been al lowed to fall into disuse. It is only the adventurous who take this road wheth er they are on foot, in a wagon or in a good stanch automobile such as Mr. Nessley drove on this trip. After leav ing Green Mountain Falls the road skirts the mountain until the west side is reached. The grade is steep all the way but occasionally the road is de cidedly precipitous but the auto tour ists kept bravely on their way. They reached the half way house without encountering very deep drifts of snow but after that it was a battle with deep snow and drifts until the top was '6ooo cwmwsmgk is the exact pictui of our stylish 1908 "button three 45 incher" men's and young men's Overcoat its one of the smart, sensible and distinctive fashions out this season comes in in new colors of browns, tans, grays in dark or medium shades tailored to a finish and here here its.

The car bumped -over the boulders which covered the road but the radiator was kept pointed skyward and there was no thought of turning back. The Great Smith Car in Snow on Pike's Peak. reached. At Windy Point the wind drove the snow with such force that the tourists hid their faces to protect them from the cutting blasts. On one side of them was a drop of 4.000 feet and on the other the sheer mountain wall. If the big red car had skidded or had left the narrow roadway there would have been little left of the auto mbblle and there would have been no escape for the adventurous occupants, but the car didn't skid and it didn't leave the roadway, which speaks well for Mr. Nessley's nerve. After passing the timber line it was a continuous battle with drifts and Acid And Alkali In the Stomach Digests the Food Naturally If In Right Proportion; If Not, Then Dyspepsia. Acid and alkali make up the liquid known as gastric juice, which digests your food. If through abuse of the stomach, or weakness of blood or through scores of other causes this gastric Juice is not made up correctly of acid and al kali, your stomach cannot digest food. Suah a stomach then acts as a pit where the food lies, ferments, decays, is thrown off at last, either into the In testines or is vomited from the system. If thrown into the Intestines a large proportion of it is taken up and passed into the blood, for the intestines are covered on the inside surfaces with millions of little mouths which are placed there to suck up nourishment for the blood. You may readily see that if instead of good rich nourishment, there Is vile poisonous fermented bile and acid, these same little mouths suck some of It by necessity and pass it into, the blood, The blood in turn throws it off and the system is Immediately placed in an im perfect state. The blood is weakened, the tissues lose strength, the skin becomes dis eased and man in general suffers in a score of d laces. Then again the blood furnishes gas tric Juice to the stomach, for when the gastric juice is not needed for digestive purposes it goes back to the blood When food comes Into the stomach the nerves along the Alimentary Canal and in the mouth signal the brain for help and the blood immediately furnishes sufficient gastric Juice to do the work well and aulckly. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go into the stomach, balance the gastric Juice, digest the food, are taken up by the blood, purifies It, and when the food comes again to the stomach a natural gastric Juice of right proportion greets it and does its work perfectly. After a time these little tablets restore Na ture, build up the gastric Juice and there is no longer dyspepsia. Every druggist carries them In stock. price 50c: every druggist and 40,000 physcians will attest their word to the merit of these tablets.

Stuart Co.. 150 Stuart Bldg., Mar shall. Mich. It was ten minutes after four o'clocK when the automobile was stopped in front of the observatory, 14.167 feet in the air, on the very top of the peak, hub deep in the snow and with great drifts piled up on all sides. There was a general sigh of relief and Mr. Nessley was warmly congratulated oy nis com panions for having attained what every one believed was the unattainable. The Dartv returned to Colorado Springs without incident and the fol lowing telegrams were at once sent to the makers of the car in Topeka: "Colorado Springs, Col. Oct. 27, 1908.

"THE SMITH MOTOR CAR CO." MISSIONARY ALIJANCE MEETEVG ALL GtTT STREET CAR PASSES. Members of City Board of Education Are Favored. Following the recent agitation for half fares for school children by the members of the school board all of the members of the board have been furnished with free transportation by the street railway company. It is possible that the street car company is acting on the defensive as when the matter was under discussion at a recent meeting one of the members of the board mentioned the fact that the members no longer received free tickets. For a number of years the street car company furnished the members of the school board with free trans portation but for some reason it was discontinued last year and as a re sult the members of the board hae been compelled to pay regular fare or else walk. Nothing further has been done about securing half fare rates for school children and in all prob abilities will not be, but the agitation has resulted in the issuance of free transportation for the members of the board. All of the members of the school board will not ride free however, as several of them fear that the anti pass law applies to street railways and have returned their little book lets of free rides. The school chil dren of the city will not be benefited in any way by the agitation, but the members of the school board will ride free for awhile at least. FLEECED HIS CLASSMATES.

While in college he was editor-in-chief of the Cornelllan and the class book and was a member of the Delta TJpsilon fra ternity.

The arrest was made while Hum phrey was with Sailor, who had led him to believe he was taking him out to treat him to a drink before cashing the check. All of the checks so far as discovered1 had been signed by Humphrey and drawn on the Dayton (Ohio) Savings and Trust bank. Up to July Humphrey had worked as an agent at Dayton for the Chalmers-Detroit Automobile com pany. At the time he was in Dayton he had an account in the bank, but drew out all the money before leaving. Humphrey denied that he intended to swindle his former classmates-.' He said his mother died in July and left him. considerable money which he believed had been deposited with the Ohio bank. Purposes of the Religious Organiza tion Explained by Topeka Worker. Plans are behig made for holding a ten day meeting the first of Novem ber conducted by Rev. A. E. Gam mage, superintendent of Christian and missionary alliance of Kansas City. The calling and work of which is ex plained by S. Stanton of Topeka as follows: "It Is a 'union of Christians of all evangelical denominations for fellowship and work and prayer, for promoting the gospel and evangeli zation of neglected classes at home and abroad. It promotes a deeper spiritual life in all its members. Its pre-eminent testimony is, 'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever,' 'Our Savior, sanctifler, heal er and coming king.' It is not a sect or denomination it is Interdenomin ational. It has branches in all parts of the United States, Canada, many places in Europe, and other contin ente, has rescue homes and about 900 missionaries in foreign lands. Rev. A. B.

And what is more, that the public can have access to it without the physician's aid.

The writer of this article has made i personal investigations and can vouch for the following: During a trip to Wisconsin and by reason of his vacation visiting the San itorlum at Waukesha, he was attracted by a conversation between a nurse and a patient, who apparently was all packed up ready to leave. The nurse was trying to persuade him to try Muco-Solvent for a bad case of Quinsy Sore Throat, and the patient, after some persuasion, consented, with the result that to the writer's personal knowledge the patient prolonged his stay and went away cured, not neglect ing, however, to take a dozen packages with him. Further Inquiry developed the fact that in the towns of Madison and Grantsburg, all in Wisconsin, Muco-Solvent had most effectually stamped out the diphtheria plague. In Grantsburg, for instance, out of its 350 people. Diphtheria claimed as its vic tims 53 people. Muco-Solvent was then employed, -and not another death took place. At Polar, Wis., whole families died; recoveries were rare exceptions. The use of Muco-Solvent immediately put an end to the fatalities. In the lumber camps of the North, they would as soon think of being with"out Muco-Soi-vent as food or water. It is used by them for all acute throat troubles

Oniy Few Votes Short of Three Thousand. Vvte in Top?ka Certain to Be Large. THE. PRESIDENTIAL 1896 T7 TK) The campaign of 1896 has scarcely become sufficiently connected with an cient history to require a chronology, In fact the campaign of 1896 Is still discussed .In connection with the cam paign of 1908, because of the fact that many of the principal actors In one are still the principal actors In the other. As is well remembered, the question of the free coinage of silver was the paramount issue, although the discon tent and hard times, which the Repub licans attributed to the Wilson bill, gave great force to the Republican de mand for a true protective tariff. The advocates of free coinage of silver were sufficiently legion to bring the money problem Into first concern. All of the Populists had been carried away by this idea four ears before, and now that the Democratic party was lo make free silver the dominent issue, the l Populists immediately joined forces tand supported the Democratic candi date. The first of the great national con ventions to assemble was that of the Republicans, which met at St. Louis on June 16. Public sentiment had already agreed upon William McKin ley of Ohio as the nominee for presi dent, although Thomas B. Reed of Maine had a strong and influential fol lowing. Mr. McKinley was nominated on the first ballot, receiving more than two-thirds of the votes of the conven tion, while Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey was chosen for vice president. The Republican platform characteriz ed Cleveland's administration as one of unparalleled Incapacity, dishonor and dlsMster. It eulogised protection and reciprocity- and opposed the free coinage of silver, with a demand for the preservation of the existing gold standard. The adoption of the plank favoring gold-standard was opposed by many free silver Republican delegates. Being defeated by an overwhelming vote of the convention. Senator Teller of Colorado, the leader of the free sil ver faction, followed by some thirty free silver delegates, formally with drew from the convention and refused to support the ticket. The Democratic rational convention met at Chicago July 7. It was plain from the moment the convention assembled that free sil ver delegates were In the ascendency, and that free silver was to be the rule of the assembly. The convention re fused to endorse the administration of Mr. Cleveland despite the strenuous efforts of his friends, and probably this can be traced directly to the fact that the convention was free silver in aentiment, while Mr. Cleveland had rtrongly opposed free silver through out his public career. Public senti ment had not been fixed upon any one man to bear the party banner, and a spirited contest was held for the nomi nation. Richard P. Bland of Missouri, Oovernor Patterson of Pennsylvania, and Governor Roise of Iowa, were recognized as the leading candidates at the time of the assembling of the convention. But in the course of the debate on the free silver plank a new leader was discovered. This man was William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, who championed the cause of silver on the floor of the convention In a bril liant speech of surpassing eloquence, which so far swept the convention off Its feet that he was nominated for the presidency on the fifth ballot. Arthur Pewell, a wealthy ship builder of Maine, was nominated for vice presi dent. That portion of the Democratic par ty opposed to free silver and In sympa thy with the Cleveland administration withdrew from the support of the Bryan ticket and at a convention held in Indianapolis on September 2 nomi nated General John M. Palmer of Illi nois for president and Simon Buckner of Kentucky for vice president on a gold standard platform which endors ed the Cleveland administration. The Populists met at St. Louis and logically nominated Mr. Bryan for president, with Thomas E. Watson of Georgia for vice president. Mr. Bryan received still a third nomination from the National Silver party, which met in Su Louis at the same time. The campaign which followed w remarkable for the general discussion of financial and economic questions and for the unusual popular interest aroused. Mr. Bryan traveled up and down the country for months, speaking to vast throngs of people who were eager to hear this young tribune of the people. Mr. McKinley, on the other hand, remained quietly at his home in Canton, Ohio, and from his door steps welcomed over 700,000 visitors and de livered over 300 speeches to visiting delegations. The currency question was almost the only question discussed bv the campaign orators. As election day drew near the popu lar Interest and excitement reached an unprecedented pitch. Not since the civil war had the country been so stirred by a presidential election. Bus iness was to a large degree suspended in expectation of the result. The Re publicans carried by unprecedented majorities every state norm or tne ro tomic and Ohio rivers and east of the Mississippi. For the first time since the days of reconstruction the "solid south was broken, for the Republic ans carried Delaware, Maryland. West Virginia and even Kentuckv. McKin ley's electoral vote was 271, while Bryan received 176. The popular vote. however, was much closer, McKinley's plurality over Bryan being only about 280,000.

V. Takes Official Action Against Cannon. Denver, Col., Oct. 28, The National Woman's Christian Temperance union convention today adopted with prac tical unanimity a resolution commend ing the efforts of the churches to de. feat the re-election of Joseph G. Can non as a member of congress. The resolution which was Introduced by Mrs. Mary E. Kuhl, president of the Illinois W. C. T. U.. follows: "Resolved.. That we, the women of the W. C. T. U., in convention assem bled, do hereby express a most hearty commendation of the action taken by the Methodist Episcopal church and the several churches In their brave ef fort to defeat the re-election of Speak er Cannon to our national congress be cause of his persistent opposition to the many reform measures which have been proposed by intelligent bodies." The convention also adopted a resolu tion, introduced by Mrs. Mary F. Lovell, pledging efforts to suppress every form of cruelty and "to work for legislation prescribing humane educa tion In the public schools In the states where It does not already exist. "We'll guess at it another week. Read votes of straw and votes of hay, Wise forecasts from each doubtful state. And then we'll sit around and wait To hear what the returns will say." x It Is the Second ward in the city of Topeka upon which the Democrats are counting to carry the city for Bryan and the rest of the Democratic ticket. At the election two years ago the Sec ond ward, on the vote for secretary of state for the two parties, cast 1,606 bal lots, of which the Democratic candi date secured 923 votes and the Repub lican 683. This would indicate that the political complexion of the Second ward is Democratic by about 240 majority. Now while there were 1,606 votes polled In the Second ward two years ago there Is a registration In that ward this year of 2,977. What this Increase in the vote means can only be con jectured. The Democrats claim that the ward stands better than two to one for Bryan this year and that the strong sentiment for the Nebraskan will carry the ticket along on top of the tidal wave. Hundreds of workers in the Santa Fe shops live in the Second ward and there are hundreds of other working men living In this ward. There are six voting precincts in the big Second and the official supporters of Bryan In this bailiwick will move heaven and earth next Tuesday to get the full strength of the registration to the polls. The Santa Fe shops have been run ning on short time for nearly a year past and a great many wage earners in the Second have been out of work part of the time at least. But at that the hard times of tMe past year have effected Topeka less than they have any city in the country. Work haa been plentiful here at all times and at very good wages. Still there Is no doubt but that there is dissatisfaction to a more or less extent among the wage earners and the Democrats are count ing on this condition of affairs with which to make a big killing in the Sec ond ward and bring victory to at leas: part of the ticket in this county. Last election there were 9,500 votes cast In this county while this year To peka alone will likely poll over 10.000 votes. The Republicans expect to over come any deflection In the labor vott by the solid strength of the party among the farmers for Taft and his ticket and they hope to gain in strength from the rural districts from the Democratic ranks. It is surely a guess work election this year all over the country, and Shawnee county and Topeka are no exception to the rule. The poll of the county vote has been about com pleted by the Republicans and it In dicates a majority of 2,000 for the ticket but there never was a time when a poll was more unsatisfactory. There is little outward Interest or en thusiasm among the rank and file, yet the record breaking registration In the city of over 11,000 votes indicates that there is plenty ef Interest be neath the surface. Men talk politics among themselves, but have little to say to the party leaders. The size of the Independent vote has increased to such an extent that the political prophets are all at sea In predicting the result with any certainty. Shawnee county will likely go Re publican as usual, but prominent Re publicans who ha v lived -hefle many years are up in the air when it conies to giving accurate estimates with any confidence. The Democrats are hope ful. No one in touch with the situa tion would be surprised at a Demo cratic majority of BOO in the county or a Republican majority of over 1,- uuu. ah or which goes to snow now blurred the glass of the political horo scope has become in this year of our Lord 1908, with the remains of a pan ic still with us, Brj'an running the third time and the rapid incubation of independent, voters.

The departments are each sub divided Into provinces. The present constitution or the republic was pro claimed in 1856 and revised in 1860 it is modeled on that of the United States. Legislative power is vested In a senate and a house of representa tives, the latter composed of deputies from the provinces and the former of senators returned by the departments according to the number of provinces. The executive authority is reposed in a president elected for four years and not eligible for the succeeding term The president exercise his authority through an appointive cabinet of six ministers. Elementary education is compulsory ior Dotn sexes and is gratuitous in tne municipal schools. High schools, at which a small fee for instruction is exacted, are maintained by the state in the departmental capitals, and there are several colleges at diiterent places The university of San Marcos, char tered in 1551, Is the oldest in America. Peru was until thetxteenth century the seat of a powerful native kingdom, ruled bv a dvnasty called the Incas. In 1532 Plzarro destroyed the Inca power and Spanish rule began. Peru then became known as a great source of wealth from silver mines, and was exploited with great cruelty to the native people.

War j with Chile In 1879-83 enaea wnn ae ieat ana loss oi ieriii"j. Te annual Jubilee convention of the Christian church of Kansas ..has ad journed and the delegates are leaving the city on every train. Many of them will stay In Topeka for the Ben Hur performance tomorrow night and sev eral of them are visiting places of in terest over the city this afternoon. Early this afternoon a big delegation visited Washburn college and went through the buildings of that institu tion. A bad beginning is a good end ing as far as the weather is concerned with the Christians and today is the only day during the meeting that the sun has been shining. When the con vention started last Friday it began to rain and it has snowed, rained, blowed and done everything disagreeable since the convention was called to order. Despite these Weather conditions the convention was by far the greatest gathering In the history of the Chris tian church of Kansas. More speakers of note, better speeches, finer music, and much more encouraging condition of the affairs of the church made the convention a great success from every standpoint. On an average there were about 1,500 delegates who were In at tendance all the time at the convention. There were about 100 who did not brave the weather and who failed to come to the convention. There were many important things accomplished during this Jubilee con vention. The most important in the eyes of the state workers was the do nation of $1,000 for work in the Kansas missions. This will be used for the work of building up the interest in the church throughout the state. Three thousand dollars was donated toward the memory of Mrs. Moses, but this was given voluntarily by the members of the church. Over $1,000 has been rais ed for this accomplishment. The convention in Topeka has de veloped the fact that there are two great factions in the Christian church es of Kansas. Many of the speeches during the convention have hinted at this underground fight and last night the whole matter came to a head and was fought out, as all good church men would fight, to the very finish which, by the way, is but the begin ning of another struggle. It seems that there are certain edu cators of the church who are greatly In favor of establishing a Bible college in the University of Kansas. For the last few years a Bible chair has been conducted in the university and has been presided over by a minister of the Christian church. He acts as the one Christian professor in the univer sity. In the last year or so the edu cators have been having secret meet ings and have planned a regular Chris tian college in connection with Kansas university. The idea is to have this college maintained by three professors chosen by the Christian board and the teaching of the Bible and theology will be the two subjects to be taught. The rest of the courses will be given by the university and these subjects will be free to the students. The Idea was championed by Chancellor Strong of K. V.. who made a strong speech in the First Christian church last night. Dr. D. H. Shields, of Salina, also made a lengthy talk In favor of the idea. This arrangement was met with big opposition on the part of the Christians who are trying to organize a denomi national college under the head of the church. The fight was waged until late last night and at last the matter was referred to a committee. The officers of the convention were chosen and were practically the fame as last year. Dr. Frank Mallory is president and chairman of the state Christian board. Another office was in serted in the constitution, and it will nailed nresident of the convention. the duties of .which are to preside over all of the stonvehtions neiq Dy me church. H. L. Harris, of Lyons, was chosen to thr -Office. George E. Lyon of Topeka was chosen superintendent vmua Missionary society and Mrs. McDaniel was given the office of secretary of the u. w. a. so... -i.rv of the Kansas Missionary so ciety under the leadership of George E Lyon. David Owens, of Topeka, was elected auditor. L. P. Bonebrake, of Topeka, was re-electea treasurer. The next meeting of the convention will be held at Hutchinson. It was de cided to hold the convention early In September, at this time of the year was too late for the comfort of the dele gates. The convention voted to publish the great naper read by J. N. iiaymaKer, of Wichita, who spoke to the delegates on the necessity of young men entering the ministry. This was considered the greatest talk during the wnoie conven- t i.lTl The following statement was issued by the Christian church this morning: "The great state convention which has been held In Topeka during the last six days is ended. Notwithstand ing the bad weather it has been a great convention. The addresses delivered showed that back of them were men of rare scholarship and burning zeal which set the convention on fire with enthusiasm for Christ, and the great work of his kingdom. A number of the sessions were held In the great Audi torium Where the platform was suffi ciently large to accommodate the great chorus which had been organizea ana drilled by Miss Hazelrlgg, supervisor of music In the city schools, who played the great pipe organ with the skill of a master. Alter listening to tne guuu things of this convention the preach ers and laymen will return home to do greater service for Christ than ever be fore." Halloween Pumpkins.

Two venturesome mice gave a great deal of worry to several women in the Hon house of the Central park loo yesterday. They raced into the cage of one of the biggest lions when he was being fed and fearlessly ran between his paws to pick .up the crumbs of his. dinner, If anything, the king of beasts was a little afraid of them. It was incompatible with his dignity to flee,' however, so he contented himself with watching them out of the corner of one eye while he kept the other optic on his food. The mice showed no concern whatever, even when the big fellow yawned. They scampered over his paws and fought for the choice morsels from the royal table. But the women couldn't believe anything save a terrible death awaited the tiny animals. They "shooed" them persistently for many minutes. Then, as the mice paid no attentien to them, they poked um brellas between the bars and at tempted to Trighten the bold little ani mals in that way. All that happened was that the lion, resenting the in-' truslon, made a slap at one-of the um brellas that snapped the ferrule and caused an attendant to remonstrate with the women for "annoying tns animals."

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1908. TAFT'S LABOR RECORD. Discussed by an Official of the Rail way Brotherhoods. Pittsburg. pa., Oct. 28. H. R. Fuller of Beaver Falls. Pa., national legislative representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen and Railroad Trainmen, has riven the Associated Press a copy of a letter which he mailed to President Roosevelt commenting upon the presi dent's letter to P. H. Grace, financier Of lodge No. 36. Brotherhood of Ral road Trainmen, who in behalf of him self and associates, wrote the presi dent asking how they could best serve their own interests in the present cam paign. The president replying urged the support of Judge Taft for the presidency and discussed at length the candidate's attitude on questions af fecting labor. In his letter Mr. Fuller says: "I am at a loss to understand why Mr. Grace should seek Information and advice regarding Judge Taft's at titude toward the railroad employes of the country from the very one whose influence and administration were used to bring about his nomination and is now being used to secure his election, when Mr. Taft's labor decisions have been discussed in the lodge rooms and rrlnted and commented upon, includ ng those of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trnlnmen of which Mr. Grace and myself are members. Had he consulted such publications he would have been given the complete labor record of Taft rather than a partial one, and both he and his fellow em ployes throughout the country who read your reply would be in possession of the facts rather than being in the post. ion of having been misled by the president of the United States. The most Important part of Mr. Taft's la bor record Is conspicuous by its ab sence from your reply and it Is to sup ply this deficiency that I write this letter." Mr. Fuller then refers to the de cision of Judge Taft In the United States circuit court for the southern district of Ohio, April 30. 1894, de clining the petition of employes of the Cincinnati, New Orleans Texas Pa cific railroad that an order of the re ceiver reducing wages ten per cent be rescinded. He quotes at length from the decision in which Judge Taft states that from a strictly legal standpoint the employes have no standing In this court to call for an adjudication of any rights. The court Is limited in the ex ercise of Its discretion to such action as may be consistent with the preser vation of the property and Its admin istration In the interests of those who own it. The reduction was approved. May 81, following. Mr. Fuller's let ter states, the employes petitioned the court to direct the receiver to modify the wage scale which Judge Taft de clined to do. The decision on this petition Is quoted at length, including reference to a change In pay for over time, which virtually was a reduction in wages. Trainmen had been paid overtime when a train was over 35 minutes late but by a ruling of the receiver this was changed to overtime for two hours or mere; the receiver alleged that un der the old rule trains were unneces sarily delayed. The decision upheld this change. It also recites that while some railroads In the same district were paying higher wages for similar service others were paying the same or less. Mr. Fuller contends It is an injus tice to compel employes to work over time without compensation. He then cites decisions of other federal Judges in what he contends are similar cases, where proposed reductions in wages by receivers are prohibited by the court. LAND HIGH IV AIXEX COO'TY.

HARD LUCK STORY Told by Chinese Who Were Castaways on an Island. San Francisco, Oct. 28. A story of hardships as castaways in the South seas is told by seven Chinese who ar rived on the steamer Manchuria from Hong Kong. They formed the crew of the barkentlne Kbston, which was wrecked on a reef 700 miles from Freemantle. Australia. For 77 days they labored to repair the little vessel so it might again put to sea, subsist ing on a scant amount of ship's stores and fish and roots found on the al most barren Island. The repairs were completed on the 26th of last May and Captain Roblson of the barken tine proposed to sail for South Africa. At this the crew mutinied and for punishment were left for sen days on the island while the captain stood off with the vessel. Then they were taken aboard in irons, but later re leased and taken to Cocos island, where fresh water and supplies were obtained and from this place they eventually made their way to Hong Kong.

Oct. 28. Atchison parties are building a brewery at Sabi nas. Mexico, and they really seem to have excellent prospects. Beer in that country sells at $21.25 per barrel, as against 88 per barrel in this country, and the finished product costs from 15 to 25 per cent less in Mexico than in the United States. An investment In a brewery beats an investment in a mine, for the reason that every dollar raised goes into buildings. In the case of a mine. It goes into "development." which usually means nothing in the' end. Charley Brenner received a let ter from Kelly Haegelin today saying that he expects to have the new brew ery under roof by January 1. TO LEAVE KENTUCKY Col.

Kidnaps a Wealthy Lumberman and forces II 1m to Sign a Note. Bellingham. Wash., Oct. 28. A spe cial from Mount Vernon says: While driving to Mount Vernon last night from his lumber camp about 15 miles from here Edward English, a wealthy lumber man of Mount Vernon, was held up and kidnaped by a lone robber, about three miles from town. The robber forced English to make a note payable at a Mount Vernon bank for $5,000 and write the following let ter to his wife: "Mrs. English: Dear Wife I am held up and kidnaped for $5,000 and I am threatened with having-my ears cut off if the money is not forthcom ing by tomorrow noon. For God s sake make all haste. Show this to Mr. Hannay and solicit this sum. Ed English." Hannay is connected with a. Mount Vernon bank. The robber,, within two miles of town, handed the note and letter to a passing traveler, telling him that English had been injured In a runaway and to take the missives to Mrs. English. This the stranger did. Meanwhile the bandit left his victim tied to a tree, evidently intending to return to him in the morning to see if the ransom was forthcoming. English, however. managed to break loose from the ropes which bound him and made his way to the home of Henrv Day. about two miles from Mount Vernon, where he tele phoned his wife and Sheriff Harmon of Skagit count- The sheriff at once set out In hopes of securing the kld napeer. The fellow is described as having one arm bandaged up. It is believed that the stranger who brought the note to Mrs. English was a con federate.

ELLET JOHN U HENRY C SHOE CO. 515 Kansas Avenue. HUMPHREYS' CASE. Republican Candidate for County At torney's Statement. To the Editor of the State Journal: i Deneve that the State -Journal al ways stands for fair play and for a square deal" and that hoinc so. I de sire to reply to the item in your issue of the 24th inst. under the heading of "Lawyers for Schenck." I have known for several dav nat the scheme that Joe Waters and Assistant County At torney Atchison had up their sleeve for the purpose of furthering the inter ests of the Democratic candidate for county attorney, but decided to ab solutely "pass up" whatever they did or said so long as they confined their operations to the Capital, but when they get into the columns of the pape that is generally read in the city of To peka It is about time to "sit up and take notice." Much of the stuff in the item is ab solutely untrue and the balance is criminally misleading. For instance. tne item reads "Out of about 8a prac ticing attorneys," etc., "73 have signed a paper agreeing to support Mr. Schenck at the polls" and that 66 are Republicans. That statement Is ab solutely untrue and misleading. or the 1 3 whose names appear in the list one is a woman and I can hardly imagine that she intends to personate a man for the purpose of voting for Mr Schenck. Twenty-one are well known Democrats, Populists or fusionists Five of the list, whilst they have been admitted to the bar, are working as stenographers or law clerks and are not practicing themselves. Eighteen have been defeated at vari ous primaries, when candidates for county or city office and one who was very active in getting up the Schenck so called petition was defeated in a ward primary, two were defeated by a Democrat at a general election, and six have at various times been unsuc cessful on either the Democratic or Populist tickets. Seven of the signers are men who have at various times owed me rent and against whom I have either had tt commence forcible detainer proceedings or have had to serve notices to vacate. I hold one's note for $85.00 and have held same for over 9 years, for rent. 1 have never sued on this note which Is now 4 years outlawed for the reason that I did not consider the man worth the powder and shot. Any one having the curiosity to see these names can see them by coming to my office. On the list are eleven that I would in clude under the title of legal potpourri amongst these I include dear old Joe Baldwin, over 80 years of age who ever since I have known him and that is about 20 years has been engaged in the occupation of a bill collector. Another has been an expert billiard player, a preacher, a justice of the peace, and is now is now a bond brok er and vendor of oil and mining stock Another combines the. business of law loans, real estate with that of tonsorial artist, another has combined the business of law with that of selling typewriters, collecting licenses and the manufacture and sale of cement rock, with very little law in the combina tion. One who has been actively en gaged in the practice of law and the selling of guarantee. and security bonds is now the secretary of a fraternal as sociation, and still another quit the oraetiee of law years ago. t- Now if their list is representative of lawyers engaged in the active practice of the law in the city of Topeka, then there are 177 that lcan name so en gaged. One hundred" and twenty-one names will be found, in' the last Topeka directory under the classified list after eliminating what are there described as railroad law departments. There are on the tso called Schenck petition nineteen names not to be found in the directory under the classified not Bnd T have compiled a list, still in complete of 37 names that are neither in the classified list in the directory or on the so called petition, and in that list are such names as Judge bimon work rs Tlrennlng. W. C. Ralston, Judge Urmy, Howel Jones, Paul Walk er, M. A. Low, A. Bollinger, etc.. to the number or d(. t v vmir readers to sit down an'l count on their fingers the number of prominent lawyers that tney Know in Tnn.im whose names are not on the list and I know that many will carry in their minds at least fifty, and most of them more prominent than the ma jority of the signers to the Schenck The Daily Capital stated thaf no lawyer that was asked to sign refused to do so and that no candidates for i -.,rc, oeUeri to sien. That is not true. On the list are the names of onrliHtps running ior oiuce m .ki. An.intv nr the Democratic ticket r lou vers that oositively refused to sign after being asked even a second time. I also know that petitions were circulated with two different headings, many lawyers refusing to sign the one pledging to support ai -second was presented simply endors ing Mr. Schenck's ability as a lawyer. Tk. nf at least one man who re fused to sign the first named appears in the list in both the Capital and the Jiram' Informed that Mr. Atchison made the circulating of this paper a personal matter -1th him and begged r the. la avers to sign it. It ought to be generally known that Mr. A,Xv,.r. ,hr. nfflced with Mr. Schenok before the electon two years ago and does so now In tne ine is Mr. Schenck's first assistant, j .v.. ur itnhlson's wife was ap pointed the official stenographer to .iinmsv hence Mr. AtchI- son is interested in the re-election of schenck to the extent of $1,100 Ser annum his salary of $500 and the stenographer's of $600 per annum. i. oreaks of a big slush i t tw of none. This is a luim. v.anard. Republican mem ...ur1 committee of 200. If they were not satisfied with the candidates that were before the Re publican primary, wny bring out a man of their own it would not have cost them anything: i ..I .imnlv have to get out the I petftion and get the necessary signers nrtrt Wltn a inice tWy would have had a fair chance to ha7e won out at the primary and then all we good Republicans would have been for their man. I want further to state that I object to being dubbed "wet" without having smelhng to say in the matter -myself I am the Republican nominee and It saems somewhat strange and aC humorous that at the primary I should have been called the dry candidate and then after securing the nomination be designated as the wet candidate and that without even a blessed soul taking the troub e to come and see me and take the pains to find out where I stood. My public utterances ought to be sufficiently plain for an- man of com mon ordinary intelligence to tell Just where I stood on law enforcement, not only of the prohibitory law but the state anti-trust law and other laws that have been allowed to lie dormant. And in this connection I was pleased to learn through your columns on October 19 that I had Just won out in a case in the United States supreme court. I refer to the Item headed "Kansas law is good," "Foreign cor porations 'must have permission to do business." That was a case I conduct ed single handed right through from the court of Topeka to the United States supreme court. Against me was a great galaxy of legal talent. Judge David C. Harrington of Scran- ton. Pa.. Rosslngton Smith and W. H. Cowles of Topeka. In conclusion will say that some of the lawyers on the Schenck paper nave testified their willingness to slsrn a similar paper for me. I do not want It. It is child's play. What lam more particularly interested in is a "square deal." very truly yours. T. D. HUMPHREYS. Republican Nominee for County At torney. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 28, 1908. SUE NIGHT RIDERS. Henry Bennett Begins Action for $100,000 Damages. Louisville. Ky.. Oct. 28. A suit for $100,000 damages which has been filed In the United States circuit court for the Sixth circuit at Louisville promises to become an important factor in the nignt rider situation in Kentucky and Tennessee. The plaintiff. Henry Bennett, on the morning of the 4th of last February was set upon and terribly beaten with clubs and thorned switches, and as he claims, maimed and badly injured by a Dana or night riders. At the same time his stemmery and tobacco fac tory and other large and valuable buildings were destroyed by the night riders. Mr. Bennett ever since this time has been receiving letters threat ening that he would be killed by night riders. In the suit filed, he Is proceeding not only against the actual persons who were present at the time of the de struction of his property, and injury to himself, but against a large number of other persons, many of whom are counted among the most prominent and prosperous citizens of the western part of the state, alleging tnat they were members of a criminal con spiracy known as the night riders' organization or "silent brigade," and that they participated in the meetings which were held throughout many counties. The purpose of bringing this suit Is to established that all presons who are members of the night riders' organiza tion are bound by the acts of the night riders, all being alike responsible for the conduct and action of the others. Captain Rankin, who was instru mental in securing the passage of more stringent fishing laws In Tennes see, was taken from his rooms in a hotel at Walnut Log, Tenn.. Monday night by night rider3, who carried him to the woods, where he was hanged and filled with bullets. Colonel Tay lor, who had assisted him in passing the laws, escaped while the niht riders were disputing whether to 111 him or hold him for ransom in the shape of a promise of a repeal of the laws objected to. THAT IXTERURBAX LINE. Grade Work Between Arkansas and AVinfleld Being Pushed. City Arkansas City, Kan., Oct. 28. The interurban grade work has now reach ed a point about a mile south of Hackney, the graders working south from Winfield. Passengers on the southbound train yesterday afternoon could plainly see the graders and sur veyors at work south and west of the Santa Fe station at Hackney.- The line of the interurban. as now being graded, runs just west of the main road through Hackney. In the draw south of that place about twenty teams and as many men are engaged in throwing up the grade at the present time.

Wash., Oct. 28. A special from Hot Springs, Wash., says: The body of Fred W. Kloeber, which was found a mile from the spot where the remains of Julius Kumle were discovered last Sunday, was brought to the hotel early today by th searching pftrtjv members of which attribute the discovery to the pack of bloodhounds employed on Sunday last. That Kloeber was killed within a short time after leaving his com panion's body and killed instantly was conclusively shown. When found he was lying face downward with his head crushed against the roots, of a tree where he had been thrown by his foot catching on a log covered with snow, probably while making great speed in his efforts to get out of the mountains before dark. He had never moved from the position in which he fell and his gun was still grasped In his left hand and under him. His gloves were on and not in the slightest drawn, as would have been the case had he been suffering from pain. Mr. Klober's body was found at a point directly opposite to that he should have taken. He had evidently become confused while at tending his dead companion and in the snow storm taken the wrong direc tion. Mr. Kloeber was born In Marlon. Va., in 1873 and his early work was In the newspaper field, havins: been connected with the Washington bureau of the Associated Press, the United Press association and hivimi acted as special correspondent for leaning umcago dallies. He after ward went to ChicaKO and in lam came to Green River, Hot Springs to nssucmic mmseir wttn his brother. Dr. J. S. Kloeber, the owner of the property. WANTS TARIFF REJIOVED.

This is the one big gam on the Missouri schedule before the annual clash with Kansas. Mis souri will strive with all her might to beat the men of Clyde Williams. The Ames team was one of the best in the west last year, defeating Iowa and holding Nebraska to a la to 10 game.

Curves are Dasse. You have got to take oft your fat. This must be done In one of three ways. By dieting, by exercises, or by means of Marmola Prescription Tablets.

The tablets will not make any alteration in your diet necessary, and yet In ail probability, before you have used up one case, you will be losing from 1J to 16 ounces of fat a day. Which method Co you like the best? If tou fancy this pleasant method of getting on the fat. see your druggist in stantlv. or else Write the -Marmola com pany, Detroit.

He proceeded leisurely and with evi dent enjoyment, each morsel palpably affording him keen delight, until with a little lemon ice as dessert, he deemed the meal complete. He sighed luxuri ously, leaned back in his chair and ordered a cigar. This was burning fragrantly when he nonchalantly beckoned the head waiter and casual ly remarked: "A most enjoyable meal, but do you know, I have not a cent with which to pay for it?" Then Gergon made a suggestion. "I would advise you to call a 'bobby'," was his remark, "and have me taken to a lockup." KF.LI.KY QUITS THE MAROONS.

Chicago Health Officers Trying to Suppress Contagious Diseases. Chicago. Oct. 28. Ten thousand farmers, residing in five states, and several hundred families in Chicago have been taken firmly in hand by the city department of health by way of suppressing sporadic outbreaks of scarlet fever, typhoid, ana diphtheria, which are manifesting themselves, ap parently with small excuse. The supervision is the most sys tematic ever attempted In Chicago and in the opinion of Health Commis sioner W. A. Evans not only will avert the likelihood of an epidemic of magnitude, but will go fprward to ward ridding the rty;of all three dis eases. 1 The supervision over farmers who ship milk to the city -will be no less strict. Beginning today thousands of little yellow tabs will-be sent out to them, on which they will be expected to report twice a week. All cases of contagious disease which appear in their families or the families of their milkers. If there is no such disease the farmer must sent In -his report certifying to that effect, and if he neglects to do so his milk will be sent back. HAD ROBBED DEPOT AGENT. Eastern Crooks Captured Toy the Gove County Officials. McPherson, Kan.. Oct. 28. Three young men heavily shacHid sat In the lobby of the Merchant's hotel Tues day. Across the room sat H. A. Cook, under sheriff of Gove county and his deputy. Granville Rose. The officers were taking the prisoners to Hutchin son where they will serve a term in the state reformatory. The three young men were from Philadelphia and were a sample of the invading army of young crooks which came out of the eastern cities last summer in search of better picking in the unprotected west. Like the greater number of their companions they found disappointment.- On September 21 the trio, S. A. Brown. Harry Haywood and Christian Montague, held up the station agent at Gove and relieved him of his purse which contained about tnirty dollars. The station agent naturally resented the Interference and notified the offi cers. Neither of the prisoners was over 24 years of age, which makes it possible for them to get off by serving a term In the reformatory Instead of In the .penitentiary.

Manila, Oct. 28. Private Mike Bech am of the First cavalry, who at Camp Stotsenburg last May killed four of his comrades, was sentenced to life Im prisonment today by the trial court be fore which he appeared. The court took the view that the crime was un premeditated and the result of a sudden fit of anger. Under the Spanish law, therefore, the court held that the cir- cumstances in the case did not war- rant the infliction of the death penalty. Becham will probably appeal from thl sentence, although the supreme court to which his appeal must be directed has the power to substitute the death penalty. ITS FUNDS TIED UP.

The first seven articles on the list are paintings, most of them on enamel plates and depicting religious subjects. The largest of these platea Is 19x19 inches. Among the other arMcIes are: Ewer in silver gilt with plate bearing the words "Animan Suam Dat Pro Ovibus:" candlestick with same coat of arms as the ewer; censor measuring 50x3 5 Inches-; two pyx or cyboriums 18x20 inches In the center; large church vessel 41x19 Inches, bearing medallions with religious scenes.

Tomorrow night the first presentation of the (rreat drama Ben Hur, under th management of Klaw Erlanger, will take place. For weeks this event has been looked forward to, as the biggest theatrical treat of the reason. And the Topeka people will all be there. This Is evidenced by the advance sale of seats which has been very heavy. Every seat in the halcony has been sold already, but Manager Roy Craw ford is receiving many orders by mail for these seats. The attendance prom ises to break all records. The only seats avallab'e at the present time are a few on the mezzanine floor and sev eral on the lower floor. A large por tion of the attendance will be from out of town. The drama has been ex tensively advertised in every town within a radius of one hundred miles. All week carpenters have been at work on the stHge. This Is necessary for the special scenery which is used for this great production. It requires several days to put in the special ap paratus, for the chariot race and for the panorama of the Roman amphi theater. The company uses two com plete sets of paraphernalia. While one set Is In use here the carpenters will be busy Installing the other set at the next stopping point. Ren Hur will be presented four times In Topeka, Thursday, Friday and Sat urday of this week, with a matinee Saturday afternoon. The Strolling Players which opened at the Grand last night form this week's bill of burlesque. And it Is a very acceptable company and gives a good performance. A good sized house was in attendance last night. There are several pleasing features in the bill. In the first part there is a take off of many of the prominent leading lights of the theatrical world, which is mirth producing In the highest sense. A little sketch entitled New Year's Eve in which Samuel Libert, Eddie Barto and Margie Conboy play the leading parts Is one of the strong parts of the bill. The specialties are also good. There is a male quartette which Is probably the most pleasing side stunt. The dancing of the ballet dancers is fine. Ullle Ardeli has a Salome dance, the costuming for which is a little more along the original Salome than any Right bottom of the Baking Powder Question. Buy a can of Calumet today. Put it through the most rigid baking test that you know. If it does not fully come up to your standard; if the baking is not just as good or better lighter, more evenly raised, more delicious and whole some, take it back to the grocer and get your money.

Get at the TP Baking U Powder World's Pure POLITICALGOSSIP Chairman Dolley Adheres to His Election Figure?. Taft and Stubbs Will Carrj State by 30,000. MARTIN IS ALSO FIRM Insists That There Will Be a Democratic Landslide. Preparations Being Made KeceiTe the Returns. to Aside from the statement that the Republican majority for Taft and Stubbs in Kansas will be upwards of 30,000, Chairman J. N. Dolley of the Re publican state central committee will not make any detailed forecasts on the election, though there is a vast amount of Information on the subject at Re publican headquarters which would "read" mighty well. Chairman Dolley has had four dif ferent estimates made on the condi tions in each county. They were as follows: 1. Detailed poll of each voter, made by precinct committeemen. 2. Estimate of majorities on presi dent, governor, and members of legis lature, by present county officers. 3. Estimate of same majorities by candidates for county offices. 4. Estimates on same majorities by selected list of Republican leaders in each county. According to Chairman Dolley, the minimum Republican majorities re ported from all of these sources has been taken in estimating that the state will go Republican by 30,000, and that there will be about the normal Repub lican majority in the legislature. 'I am not going to give out the de tails of this Information," said Chair man Dolley, "because I do not care to give the Democratic committee the benefit of the information which we have secured at great trouble and ex pense. The Democrats have not made any poll, or any collection of informa tion upon which they can base a re liable forecast of the result. They are deceiving themselves with false esti mates, and will find out their mistake In about a week. I do not care to put into their hands all the information which I have, and show them the counties where their mistaken esti mates have been made." Chairman Henderson Martin has not made any election forecasts, except to claim in a general way that there will be a "Democratic landslide." That is a safe prediction, for any kind of a Dan. ocratlc victory would mean a Demo cratic landslide. The Democrats have not made any detailed poll of the state, but have re ceived estimates from the 2.200 precinct committeemen. These estimates looked so good that Chairman Martin wouldn' believe they were rue. He thought that there must be a mistake, or that the precinct committeemen were over sanguine. So he called a meeting of the state committee to see if he could find out where the trouble was. The state committeemen not only assured him that the figures were correct, but that they did not go far enough thai they were to conservative. According to tnis estimate, the aggregate ma jority of the Democratic party in Kan sas will be about 60,000. It Isn't much wonder that Mr. Martin could not be lieve such figures were correct. The Democrats are also making un usual preparations this year to receive returns from the election. They will get wire and telephone reports from all parts of the state as the count pro gresses, and the reports will be made by precincts as far as possible. The Democrats have a big book ready showing the vote by precincts on the 1896 and 1900 presidential elections, and the vote by precincts on the state, ticket in 1906 and 1904. By comparing the precinct returns, as they are re ceived, with the figures of two or four years ago. they can tell whether the trend of the returns is In their favor or otherwise. When returns are in from thirty or forty average precincts, the wise ones will begin to guess on the results of the election. Two years ago, the Democrats didn't get any returns to amount to anything, and had to find out how things were going from the reports received at Re publican state headquarters. The Republican state committee will get returns over a special wire at head quarters. Their instructions to county chairmen is to send in a report as soon as half of the precincts are reported, and to send in further returns on the totals. Robert Norris, secretary of the State Temperance union, gave out a state ment today concerning the attitude of the union in the present fight between Stubbs and Botkin. It denies that the union is a political organization, but says that the "wet and lawless" ele ment has for some reason lined up against Stubbs. The following is the statement: "For the past three years, with the exception of a few months, the State Temperance union has been officered by men not affiliated with the Repub lican party Mr. Cowgill as president and myself as secretary, neither be longing to that party. So kindly did the union feel toward Mr. Botkin that In the Kansas Issue just preced ing the primaries, as editor of that paper, I urged the Democrats to vote for Mr. Botkin. Several weeks prior to the annual convention of the State Temperance union we- wrote to Mr. Stubbs, asking that he occupy a half hour of our convention on the 14th, and at the same time wrote to Mr. Botkin, asking that he occupy a half hour on the 13th of October, indicat ing in our letters to each one of the men that we desired them to talk on some phase of law enforcement, bet ter observance of law, etc. Mr. tubbs replied and accepted the invitation. Mr. Botkin made no reply, but instead the manager of his speaking bureau, Mr. Lewis, wrote that Mr. Botkin could come, provided he be allowed to make a political speech such as he was making over the state. We an swered Mr. Lewis, saying that we were not a political organization and that we felt we ought to confine our work to law enforcement and kindred subjects, and that we much preferred Mr. Botkin not to make a political speech at our convention, Still be lieving that Mr. Botkin would appear on our program, and very desirous that he should do so, I personally called on Mr. Lewis and told him rather than not have Mr. Botkin ad dress the convention he might make a political speech if he desired to do so. With these concessions I still fail ed to get Mr. Botkin to address the convention. .w "Mr. Stubbs has for 3 number of years been a supporter of the State temperance union. Mr. sotKin nas likewise always supported the union. There is no ouestion as to the per sonal sentiments of each of these gen tlemen, but somehow the wet ana lawless element of this state are ac tively up atrainst Stubbs and Jack son." V Harry B. Fleharty.' who was pri vate secretary to ex-Governor Leedy, and one of the picturesque' products of Populism, is now candidate for at torney general of the. state of Ne braska on the Democratic ticket. The head of the ticket is Ashton C. Shal lenberger. The news that Fleharty is a can didate for attorney general of Ne braska is the first that has been heard of the famous Harry for some time. While a resident of Kansas he was known as a preacher, later as a pol itician, and only incidentally as a law yer. He set a pace which it would doubtless have hurried the average preacher to maintain, and his career in politics was filled with spread eagles and figure eights. He was jo vial, talented, a good mixer, and ev erybody's friend. He was probably the only one of his kind in the Populist party. He lived at a number of places in Kansas, but when the great white light of political prominence burst upon him, he was a resident of Marion. J. Ralph Burton claims that he is the real author of the Sherman ami-irusi law. and that Attorney General F. S.

The question is would the new official in sure the repair of the pavements. The fact that there will be but few pumpkins for pies this winter Is not causing the concern among the small bays as is the fact that there will be a scarcity of the fruit of the vine for use as Jack-o'-lanterns on Halloween.

George Stansfield gathered his weapons of warfare and left for the western portion of the state Tuesday with the avowed Intent of bringing home a bag well filled with' ducks. Washburn's football eleven will meet the University of Kansas team on the Lawrence gridiron one week from Saturday and the rivalry which exists between the two teams promises to make the game one of the most in teresting of the season. The farmer boys living in the vicinity of Topeka are braving the possibilities of punishment for violat ing the game laws of the state and are offering quail and squirrels for sale, although the sale Is forbidden by law at any time of the year. With the coming of the sunshiny weather, the Washburn squad which has been practicing all week on the sod near Rice hall, will again resume signal and scrimmage work on the gridiron, in preparation for the hard Drake game next Saturday. A reception will be held tonight at the Central Y. M. C. A. by the Broth erhood of the First Baptist church.

One of the beauties of the fruit trust which exists in Topeka is the fact that apples are selling in the stores for $1.25 a bushel while fruit of the same quality can be purchased of the farmers for little more than half the price asked by the mer chants who are compelled to patronize the fruit trust. The street car service of the city was badly crippled during the early morn ing hours by the heavy fog which hung over the city like a pall. The cars were run slowly as it was Impossible to see one hundred feet in advance of the cars and as far as reported no accidents occurred owing to the precautions which were taken. At last the piano and specifications for the proposed police patrol wagon have been agreed to in committee and the council may expect to be called upon to pass on this matter at the next regular meeting. Engineer Rodgers cut down the plans to one fifth their former size. The new wagon will cost about $300.
