AVlien He Returned Chas. F. Scott Got the Place. Secretary Denton Replies to Square Dealers Charge. 111 connection with tha failure of Grant Hornaday's bank, there may be released for publication without dam age to anyone an interesting story about a famous deal in Kansas poli tics in which Hornaday figured, and in which certain politicians received, eight years ago, a tip that there was doubt about the strength of Horna day's financial position. It happened about 1900 when there were two factions in the Republican party, as now, but with different lead ers. Frank Grimes, Tom Kelly and others were leaders of "insurrection" party, and Mort Albaugh, Dave Mul vane and their friends were the lead ers of the "regulars." Grant Horn aday had been lined up with the "reg ulars," and had secured the job of chairman of the state board of char ities. This was in the good old days of no civil service and to-the-victor-belongs-the-spoils. The job of chairman of the state board of charities was a trem endously powerful one. The "insur rection" crowd wanted to bring Horna day into their camp. They went to him and offered him their support for congressman at large. He agreed to desert the "regulars" with whom he had been working, and give the insur rection faction the support of his pow erful office in exchange for the job of congressman at large. As soon as the old friends of Horna day heard what he had done, they commenced to pound him to stay in line. Hornaday stood pat. But final ly they sent to see him a certain prominent member of their crowd who was al a national bank examiner, and whose name is best suppressed be cause he is still much of a factor of banking circles. This man went to Hornaday, it is said, and used argu ments with him which served to con vince him that it was his duty to stay at Ft. Scott and run his bank, instead of getting into the race for congress man at large. It was broadly hinted at the time among the members of the inner circle that the bank examin er had him at his mercy. At any rate, Hornaday withdrew from the race for congressman at large, and the "in surrectionists" got Charles F. Scott of Iola to take his place. Secretary of State C. B. Denton says that the "square dealers" are entirely mistaken about his objects in sending out for information concerning the cost of the operation of the primary election law in Kansas. On his return to his office today after several days' absence, Mr. Denton gave out this statement: "Much has been said concerning the cos: of the primary election law. I have heard this cost estimated from as low as $25,000 to as high as $300,000. and as the taxpayers of the state must foot the bill, I believe they have a per- leci ngni 10 Know just wnat the actual cost is, and with no other thought or purpose than to furnish the general public with this information, I pre pared a list of questions which I hoped would secure the desired result. These questions were mailed to the county clerks throughout the state. "I was greatly surprised upon my return to Topeka today to learn that some one had discovered in connection with these questions, a deep laid plot to undermine and possibly repeal the primary law. and that much publicity had been given this great discovery through the newspapers. "While preparing the questions above mentioned, a good friend of mine, Tom McNeal, state printer, and an ardent supporter of the primary election law, came into my office and 1 asked him what he thought of my Idea in securing this information. t-t at once, and without any hesitation .whatever, said: 'I believe it is list the thing to do. Evprvone tSipecially the taxpayers of the state, has a right to know what this law has cost and certainly any reliable jiii'jrinaiion mat you can secure upon the subject will be beneficial and prop er.' Thus encouraged, I proceeded with the matter and if there is any conspiracy, any hidden motive, I and the gentleman just referred to are the only ones to blame in the matter. I a.i principal and he as accessory, be cause he heartily approved of the pro position. "This is absolutely all there is to this great discovery, and while I realize that once a wrong impression is created it can rarely ever be entirely corrected' or annulled, I hope that all of the news papers who care to be fair will give as great publicity to this statement of facts as they did to the first report concerning the matter, which report was wholly and entirely without foun dation." C. E. Morris, of Westmoreland representative-elect from West Pottawa tomie county, is seeking opinions on a new mortgage bill he is asked to intro duce. The bill provides for assessing the taxes on mortgages on the makers thereof, instead of on purchasers or holders as at present. It is claimed by those favoring the bill that the taxes are evaded on most mortgages by pur chases, transferring the mortgages to parties outside the state, and that a reduction in interest could be made by the money Ioaner, and taxes collected on all mortgages if the maker were tax ed as the holder is often a nonresident. There are two good sides to the aues- lon. Mr. jyiorns succeeds the late Dr. ichardson of Onaga, Pottawatomie county. Onaga Republican: If Harry Haga man will consent to run for the office of state bank commissioner the ap pointing power cannot find a more com petent man. It would also be a very fitting recognition of Pottawatomie county. Mr. Hagaman has shown his ability for the office of bank commis sioner by two years of very satisfactory work as an examiner and many years of experience as a bank cashier. We believe that the bankers of the Fifth congressional district and those of the Fourth district will give him the most hearty endorsement for the place, and he has many friends elsewhere, because they know he is well qualified. If a man is wanted who will be a bank com missioner in the full spirit and letter of the law, Harry Hagaman is that man. HIS HOT TALK. Famous Interview of the Kaiser With Dr. Hale Is Made Public by a New York Newspaper. New York, Nov. 21. What purports to be an "absolutely accurate and auth entic synopsis" of the interview ob tained from Emperor William of Ger many by Dr. William Bayard Hale and subsequently withdrawn just as it was about to appear in the Century Maga zine, is printed by the World today. The World declares that the article as or iginally written was submitted to Dr. Hale and that it appears today "as changed by Dr. Hale." The interview is said to have taken place on the imperial yacht Hohenzol lern off Bergen, Norway, while Dr. Hale was the emperor's guest. The World summarizes the main points of the em peror's interview as follows: "That King Edward of Great Britain had been humiliating him for more than two years and that he was exasperated, that Germany was the paramount pow er in all Europe and that England was trying to neutralize that power. "That he held France in the hollow of his hand, and that Russia was of no account .since the disastrous war she had waged with Japan. "That if the Pan-European war which had been so much talked about was inevitable the sooner it came the better it will be for him because he was ready and was tired of the suspense. "That Great Britain had been a de cadent nation ever since her victory over the transvaal and the Orange Free state, because hers was an unrighteous, ungodly cause and divine judgment was bound eventually to overtake the pow erful nation that waged such a war. "That the Anglo-Japanese alliance was an iniquitous alliance against all the" white races, England proving abso lutely her faithfulness as a Christian nation.; that Japan was honey-combing India with sedition and flooding it with spies while professing openly to be Eng land's friend and ally. "That the only way to counteract this alliance was Germany and America to gether at an early date or America would have to fight the Japanese in ten months. "That in the event of a great war TTnfflflnd wmilrt lose mftnv of her larere rnlnnies. esneciflllv those in thp Pa cific, and that all he would take for Germany would be Egypt, though he would liberate the Holy Land from the yoke of the Infidel, presumably mean ing the sultan. "That the perfecting of the Zeppelin dirigible balloon would give Germany a powerful advantage in war and she was ready to make use of it to the fullest extent." The World declares that Emperor William knew when he made these statements that Dr. Hale was an American newspaper man and maga zine writer, but that nevertheless the statements were made without reser vation and that no secrecy was impos ed. The interview had been formally arranged through the German foreign office. It is said, and at the conclusion of the interview Dr. Hale returned to Berlin and told high officials of the for eign office of the success he had. "They forbade him to publish it." the World story continues. "Then they ex plained to him at some length that even a hint at possibilities so serious com ing from one who had been the emper or's guest, might throw the whole world into the most disastrous war of all times. The attitude of these officials is said to have been that the emperor was irresponsible when he gave way to such fits of temper." It is said that Dr. Hale obeyed the instructions of the foreign office in the preparation of his interview, but later when the manuscript was submitted to the high German officials, "they are said to have so butchered it that little which was worth while was left." It was in this final form, according to the World, that the article was ac cepted by the Century. It was prac tically ready for publication when the request came from Berlin that even the interview in its revised form be sup pressed. Then the electrotypes and all copies of the interview were destroyed before the public announcement that the interview had been withdrawn was made. Hale Repudiates It. Dr. William Bayard Hale today is sued the following statement: "I repudiate absolutely the story which the New York World this af ternoon published purporting to tell what passed at my audience with the German emperor. It is pure fabrica tion from beginning to end, and I so declared to the World reporter who showed it to me before publication." BIG BANKS M-RGED. Union National of K. C. Absorbed by the Commerce. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 21. The Union National bank of this city, with deposits of thirteen millions of dollars, was absorbed today by the National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City.

The ball was then on Harvard's 38 yard line. Eight yards were gained on two more crashing plays against the Harvard guards. Three yards more for Yale on next attack.

Ameri can university football history shows that seven years ago a team wearing crimson colors battled with and de feated Yale. Three years before that another Harvard team had won a bat tle, and meantime there had been a no score game. Harvard, in an even quar ter of a century has had but three victories over Yale, not including a game forfeited to her just 20 years ago. Since 1894 Harvard has not scored a point against her rival except in the years of victory. Harvard is here to day battling with all the power within her men to add one more shining bar upon her athletic shields. Out on Yale field, more than 35,000 people will be massed to witness the great struggle, which is expected to rank with the best ever played in this country. The weather today was ideal for the game. Frost lay like snow on the straw that has protected the gridiron within the quadrangle of banked seats on Yale field today, but the morning sun caused this to quickly disappear and the mois ture did not penetrate beneath. The Yale team, which stayed at the college infirmary last night to be out of the excitement which prevailed ev erywhere, went out to the country club during the forenoon, returning at noon for luncheon at the New Haven house. The Harvard squad came down from Farmington shortly after 11 o'clock and also went to the same place for luncheon. Afterwards the players went to gymnasiums to prepare for the game. Thirty-six special trains came in during the forenoon. Some ticket selling is said to have been in evidence during the morning, but many deputies and city con stables scurried here and there run ning down reports that speculators were busy. Arriving college men went to the ticket department to see of any tickets had been returned, but this year very few tickets came back. When the college year opened Yale had on paper the best football ma terial in years. In the line and be hind that bulwark, the men were giants for strength. These men, sea soned by training and drilled in the fundamentals of football, which have been such a factor in years past in Yale's winning games, went sent upon the field today. The back field Is the same as selected for last year's game against Harvard until an injury to Wheaton compelled a change. Harvard points to her team as one of the best developed in years, with men possessed of full knowledge of: the game, and with the finer points of the revised game thoroughly mas tered. Both teams have a strong string of substitutes. The following is the lineup of the teams:: Yale. Position. Harvard. Logan L. E Brown Hobbs L. T McKay Andrus L. G Burr Biddle C Nouse Goebel ..R.

Carlisle Is Crippled and Minnesota May Redeem a Bad Season. Minneapolis, Minn., November 21 The Minnesota and Carlisle Indian football teams line up for the third time in as many years on Northrup field this af. ternoon. The Indians were the favor ites today as Minneapolis has had a particularly disastrous season. Coach Warner was not at all confi dent of a victory, however, as the red men have not gotten over their slump, according to the coach, and they were further handicapped by the absence of their three star players, Balenti, Afraid of a Bear and Bird, who were unable to play on account of injuries. Minne sota had everything to fight for and had worked assiduously during the ,,ast two weeks preparing for the Carlisle game paying particular attention to defense formations for the forward pass. The Minnesota players were in better con dition than at any time this season. Coach Williams has been assisted dur ing the past two weeks by several for mer Yale players and Minnesota root ers hoped that a system of play had been evolved that would break up the Indians' whirlwind game and enable Vinnpnts tn mni-e than hold her own woefully weak all season in the open style of play and her supporters were led to believe that they would see a de cided improvement In the last game of the season.

The Michigan squad arrived yester day and Coach Yost gave out the fol lowing statement: -v "If all men are able to stay tlrJig'ta the entire game I am hopeful.

Randall Field, the arena selected for the strug gle to determine whether the western football championship should go to the city of Wisconsin was the objective' point of nearly every visitor and resi dent in Madison today. Thousands of visitors were present from Chicago, Milwaukee and other cities and towns of Illinois. Wisconsin and Minneapolis. The weather was cool, but not cool enough to justify much fumbling, and it was regarded that it was a point in favor of clean forward passing.

At the close of the report of the committee on building trades "Vice President -James Duncan moved that inasmuch as the charter issued to thf building trades council gave it no per mission to issue state charters tht council be instructed to live up to its charter. This was carried after con siderable discussion by a vote of 91 to 41. At this point Daniel J. Keefe, of the Longshoremen arose to announce the withdrawal of his candidacy for re election to the executive council, giv ing his reasons for this action. Mr. Keefe stated he had within the last 24 hours announced his intention not to be a member of the executive council owing to the recommendation of the committee on president's re port. He said he had voted the Re publican ticket for 32 years and will continue to do so until his conscience dictates otherwise. "The relations between President Gompers, the executive council and myself," he said, "are as miserable as ever. We agree on the economic movement and will work together to advance the movement. If at any time I can be of service to the president or to the executive council or any organization in this convention my services will be forthcoming." At 10:45 o'clock James Lynch, of the Typographical Union, was called to the chair and the nominations for presi dent called for. President Gompers was placed In nomination to succeed himself by Delegate John P. Fry, of the Molders' union. Gompers was re-elected with only one dissenting vote. Charles Jeski. of Mil waukee, representing the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor and a social ist, insisted that his vote should be registered against Mr. Gompers.

To the nomination of John Mitchell, second vice president, A. B. Grant. Metal Polishers, of Cin cinnati, a socialist, objected on the ground that Mr. Mitchell is a member of the Civic Federation. President Gompers ruled that any member of the federation who was in good stana ing was eligible to election to any office in the federation. Mr. Mitcneil tnen was elected by acclamation.

Speaker Cannon's attention has been called to the story sent out from Hot Springs, Va., that Mr. Taft would oppose Mr. Cannon's re-election to the speaker ship on the ground that "Uncle Joe" would not undertake in good faith a revision of the tariff. Mr. Cannon said: "I have not seen the stories referred to. I do not believe that the president-elect will undertake to organize the house. In common with the presi dent I endorse the Republican na tional platform and am entirely will ing to abide by the action of the Re publican caucus when it is held to de termine the organization of the house of the Sixty-first congress."

Attorney General Submits Long List of Questions. ilOYE IS IMPORTANT. Relieve Companies From Prose cution if They Answer. Chas. L. Eldridge Isn't Given This Opportunity. An "immunity bath" for 75 fire in surance companies alleged to be par ties to the "insurance trust" was offered Friday afternoon by Attorney General Jackson, when he filed in the Shawnee county district court an application for per mission to require the 75 companies to answer interrogatories in the suit to break up the alleged rate-combination among Kansas insurance companies. The immunity bath, however, is not extended to Charles E. Eldridge of To peka, who runs the Eldridge rating; bureau, which, it is charged, furnishes the basis for the uniform fire rates ot the "trust." The list of interrogatories was filed with the application by John Dawson, assistant attorney general. Judge Dana will decide whether the insurance companies must answer after hearing what the companies have to say. Th companies have the right to object to any or all of the questions. The list of interrogatories presented with the application comprise 44 ques tions, touching the relations of the in surance companies to the Charles E. Eldrdge ,rating bureau in this city, which it is claimed furnishes the rat ing books upon which all Insurance companies base their fire insurance rates. By answering these questions, the insurance companies will, under the Interrogatory law, render themselves immune from prosecution. The object of the state is to get evidence to show that the Eldridge bureau is contrary to law. "It isn't because we have anything special against Charley Eldridge," said Mr. Dawson, "but we must get at tha facts about this Fystem of fixing fire Insurance rates. We do not ask that Mr. Eldridge answer any of the ques tions, because by so doing he would render himself exempt from prosecu tion." If the state adopts the suggestions of Insurance. Commissioner Charles Barnes, the state will establish a rat ing bureau of its own, and possibly an appropriation will bo made to pur chase outright the Eldridge bureau, with its extensive accumulations of data, maps and charts. The interrogatories seek to put the companies on record as to the way in which they use the Eldridge rating books, and also their relations to the "Western Union" which Is said to be the headquarters of the insurance combine. The Western Union has headquarters in Chicago, and all the insurance companies follow its rules in western business proposed in the interrogatories: What are the purposes and practices of the Western Union in "compact" states In what respect do the practices of companies belonging to the Western Union in "compact" states differ from the practices of the same companies In noncompact companies? If your company is a member of the Western Union, produce a copy of the book of rules and instructions fur nished to your general agent in Kan 3as. If your company is a member of the Western Union, produce a copy of the book of rules and Instructions fur nished to your special agent In Kansas. If your general and special agents' territory is not bounded by state lines in Kansas, produce any and all books of instructions received by you or by them for your service which are is sued by the Western Union. If your company is a member of the Western Union, state when, where, and how often the Western Union has met for business or other purposes during the last five years prior to the filing of this suit. Of what does the Western Union consist? What are the names and addresses of the officers of the Western Union? Who are members of the Western Union? Where is the headquarters of the Western Union, and what is its exact address? Produce a copy of the bylaws or constitution, or whatever may be the written or printed plan of organiza tion of the Western Union. Does your company subscribe for the publications of Charles E. Eldrldga which treat of fire insurance estimates in Kansas? Does your company furnish the Eldridge estimates to its agents in Kansas? Do your agents use the Eldridge rale books and rating sheets in Kansas? State how your company is advised of any alterations made In the esti mates of rates of fire Insurance In Kansas? State specifically and In detail youii company's method of making rales In Kansas upon which it issues fire insur ance policies. What are meant by union companies, and in what respect do they differ from nonunion companies? What rates of commissions do you al low your agents on business transact ed by them for you. and state if the rate varies If your agents or any of them solicit or accept business for non union companies. What, If any, is the variation In rates of fire insurance charged by union and nonunion companies In Kansas? Is your company a union or a non union company? If your company has raised Its rates of fire insurance in Kansas in the last five years, give the dates and percent ages of advances so made. If any circular letters were sent out by your company to Its agents In Kan sas in the last five years ordering ad vances in fire Insurance rates, produce copies of all such letters? Have you a contract with Charles E. Eldridge pertaining in any way to in surance rate-making in Kansas? If you have such a contract written or printed, produce a copy at the trial of this cause. State specifically and in detail any business relations between your com pany and Charles E. Eldridge which pertain to insurance rate-making In Kansas. I I

That Auto Race', at Savannah, Thanksgiving. The City Is Alreadj Worked Up to a Ilijrn Pitch. WATCH TRIAL SPINS. Flagmen to Number of 180 Patrol the Coarse. Famous Foreign Drlrers Attract Great Deal of Attention. Savannah, Nov. 21.- All roads lead to Savannah. Every train and every steamer brings in additional cars, drivers and auto fans, while .several have come in in their own. machines from a distance. Savannah has reached fever heat over the coming races and the city is in a near turmoil as the result. The only talk that can be heard on the streets Is the auto races everything else having paled into insignificance as the result. The course each day. is aljve with the large and small cars, whose drivers are trying to make ,th3 best possible -time in their, workouts. They go over the course at a wonderful speed, not seeming to realize at the time that there is such a tremendous speed in the course,: but,- after once going over it they all unite in declar ing that it Is the best ana fastest auto course they have ever driven a ma chine over and there are some star chug-wagon drivers at Savannah. i In order that there will be no con flict between the- big cars and the Uttle fellows, it has been agreed upon that the light cars practice between 12 and 1:30 o'clock and the big fel lows from then on until 4 o'clock. i The course is0- thoroughly rolled every morning before the racers come on, thus making the highest speed possible and intense rivalry exists be tween the drivers as to who is capable of making the highest- speed. Al ready 70 miles an hour has been reeled off by some of the drivers, but that is not a circumstance to what they will do with the speed-breaking marvels when the race itself Is on. j Nearly 150 flagmen have been patroling the course during the prac tices Monday and Tuesday and they will be kept on the course through the race, but on the day of the race they will be assisted by several com panies of state troops, who have been ordered out by the governor. The foreign drivers have been buy ing up n arly all the available picture post card i of the different,-views of the race c lurse and are sending them a,cross the pond to friends in Europe. They have a novel way. of stamping the cards. Instead of putting the stamp on the address side they stick it on the reverse side and give the reason, for-so doing that the majority of people put post cards in an album and the value of the card is made greater when the stamp is on the side shown in the album. w Bull street in Savannah Is an in teresting sight these ?day i.writh the honk-honk, and ctmg-chtf$ I T nu merous autos, while the people gaze with admiration Upon the ftttle'cars and look with awe upon the big speed marvels, capable of doing 120 miles an hour. As each succeeding day passes away the interest gets more intense, if such a thing is possible, and by the time the race starts it is doubtful If there will be a man, woman or child iii Savannah who will not go out to the races.

"I've no time to fight now. Let Packey go to England, pick up a lot of money, meet the tough ones like I did so long and come back next March and we will get a $30,000 purse for a forty five round battle. Packey is clever.

Bradstreet's says: Enlargement and expansion are still the dominating influences in trade and industry, and the volume of sales and of orders booked by wholesalers and manufacturers, continue to show gains, particularly in the commercial and manufacturing centers of the north, east and west. Still, certain evidences of irregularity are found in the reports that the mild weather is retarding sales of winter goods at retail in the above sections and southern advices are that improvement in that section is raiher Blower than expected, and that low cotton prices and holding of that product by producers, are check ing trade and collectoins. Idle cars are reported growing few er In number rapidly, Heavier buying of pig iron is reported at the east and lake markets are more active, but Pittsburg reports transactions smaller. Prices are higher. There is more do ing in leather, and shoes are in better inquiry from manufacturers, though affected by mild weather at retail. Leather is higher all around. Crude rubber this week sold at the highest price ever known, but speculation is claimed partially responsible for thin. Lumber is quieter, and flour is less in demand for export. In wholesale ai:d jobbing lines north, east and west, re ports are generally that trade is ex panding, that spring purchases ere increasing and that stocks in final dis tributors' hands are light. Cotton goods are growing in demand and prices are being advanced. Fall River print cloth markets are sold up to January 1, and cotton, yarns and men's year woolens are in better sale. Clothing trade reports are irregular, because of weather conditions. The beginning of the tariff hearing at Washington brings to the attention of the community the fact that revi sion of some kind is promised, and that congress, early in 1909, will have this matter to digest.

The Girard Airship Made Dismal Fail ure I nuer l'est. Cirard. Kan.. Nov. 21. The Call airship, automobile, boat and fanning mill wan tried out last evening, and hope received a poke in the slats. Tha day was superb, the engines worked fine and everything looked as though the ship was "the goods'' in everything but flying. The ship, however, did move itself along the ground from the power generated by its propellers, but only on down grade. The engines were tested up to 1,6 00 revolutions, but the propellers could only be forced to a speed of about 300, which proves, so says the inventor, that the engines are too heavily loaded. All he wants now is more power and when the neces sary power is obtained the ship will surely fly. This, the inventor believes to be a fact. In the meantime, tha airship remains on the ground seem ingly with no intention of leaving It. Hundreds of spectators have visited the trial field and opinion is about equally divided, the optimistic ones believing that with enough of the right kind of power properly applied the bird will fly, while the other half believe that no power on earth will make it rise. The inventor will maka other tests .and determine if possibla what power will be necessary to float his craft. I Does not Color the Hair Stops Falling Hair AYER'S HAIR VIGOR v

TOTAL OF 12,453 MILES Would Be Represented by the Combined Rapds. Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. Is the management of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway planning a merger of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway lines along with its re ported plan to merge the lines of the various companies under its control in South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington? This is the question which railway men and financiers over the country are asking themselves today. Should such a merger be effected a railway system of 12,453 miles of lines would be owned and. operated by the Milwaukee road, which would make one of the greatest railway systems of the world. The territory would be an immense one and would be covered by the net work of lines. From the Rocky Moun tains to the northern end of the great lakes, to Chicago and then to the gulf country with Kansas City as the in termediate DOint. The latest gossip of the stock mar kets strengthen the belief that such a merger Is to be effected. Stock brokers throughout the coun try have been notified by the interests owning the control of the Northern system to buy all fche available stock of the Missouri. Kansas Texas road. The buying, which came unexpected, of the stock of the M., K. T. road, has caus ed a flurry of excitement for a time on th floors of stock exchanges and set loose the gossip that a merger is to be effected. The press dispatches, coming from New York yesterday, had it that the C. M. St. P. management proposes to issue against the new lines $100,000,000 worth of bonds. -The new lines under construction consists of 1,500 miles of tracks to the coast. In his denial of the proposed plan of the C. M. St. P. railway to merge the lines west with the main system and the floating of $100,000,000 worth of Bonds against the new lines, Roswell Miller, chairman of the board of direc tors of the road, implies that even though the company did think of issu ing bonds it would not consider for a moment a plan to place the bonds against the new lines. This strengthens the belief that the merger is to be perfected as the 1.500 nines or lines west, free of any bonded indebtedness, could be easily used as security for almost any amount of money by which the C. M. St. P. could gain control of the south ern road. Railroad men reason that Dr. Price, the famous food expert, has produced a product called WHEAT FLAKE CELERY which is considered to represent the highest food production. Its healthful qualities are unsur passed. For sale by all Grocers should such a merger be planned by the management of the northern road, as its actions and policies would lead them to believe had been, it would only be natural for the officials to deny the story to save their plans from being frustrated by unscrupulous money kinss. The question arises with financiers as to how territory traversed would be effected by the merger. The northern and western country would have an outlet to the gulf while the gulf coun try would have the same to Chicago. All traffic, however, would necessarily go through Kansas City. The Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul operates and controls 7,881 miles of lines, while the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway operates and controls 3,072 miles. With the 1,500 miles of lines now under construction to the coast from the western terminus of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul a mer- ber of the two immense systems into one would make 12,4o3 miles of tracks which would be owned, operated and controlled by one system.

Doctors Unable to Extract Leg From Eyeball. Man Is Suffering Intense Pain From Odd Accid?ut. Wichita, Nov. 21. How would you like to have the end of a grasshopper's leg sticking in your eyeball? This is the condition in which J. M. Simmons of Manchester, Okla., finds himself. Mr. Simmons arrived in Wichita yesterday and is taking treat ment of Dr. Dorsey. Although nearly blind now and with a portion of the leg of a grasshopper still in his eye, Mr. Dorsey thinks that he may be able to save the eye for Mr. Simmons. Mr. Simmons was driving through the country near Manchester in an au tomobile a few days ago. He was go ing at a good speed and when a grass hopper flew up it struck his eye and stuck there, a leg having been imbed ded in the eyeball. Ever since the occurrence Mr. Sim mons has suffered night and day and has been able to get but few hours' sleep. The case is said to be one of the most remarkable known. JAIL FOR THIS BRIDEGROOM. And Bride Wept From Humilation He Was Jointist. Pittsburg, Nov. 21. Mrs. R. R. Karney of Crowburg, a bride of three months, is suffering the- humiliation of seeing her newly wed husband serve a jail sentence at Girard. The husband was convicted of con tempt of court in connection with some of the liquor cases in district court at Girard last week, was fined $100 and costs and given 30 days in jail. Until Mrs. Karney's marriage last August she made her home in Pittsburg. In the Pittsburg division of the dis trict court Judge Fuller overruled a motion for a new trial made by O. T. Boaz, the attorney in the case. Karney was convicted of contempt of court sometime in October. After the motion for a new trial had been overruled Judge Fuller ordered the defendant brought in so he could be sentenced. The contempt proceedings arose out or an injunction action filed by Assistant Attorney General George H. Stuessl against the defendant in Croweburg, Kan. FOR A RELAY RACE. Channte Y. M. C. A.

A. at Iola for a competitive relay race between the two towns to occur on Christmas, if the weather is favorable, and otherwise next spring. Local enthusiasts want to race with Iola on a plan similar to that being arranged between teams from Topeka and Kansas City. These teams will run a double race between news paper offices of Kansas City and To peka, carrying a message each way. Local sprinters want to arrange with 101a to run a relay race between the two towns, each man to run one mile, and there to be two lines of racers go ing in opposite directions at the same time. The last man on either team to reach the other town to be de clared the winner of the race. BLOWN OUT OF A WELL. Plumber Near Wichita, Has a Mount Peele Experience. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 20. How would you like to be shot out of a well by an explosion That is exactly what haDDened Ernest Ellis, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Ellis is a plumber, and a brother or iarry Ellis, foreman of the Wur- ster Construction company. He came here shortly after his other brother died, and has been living in the north part of town until recently. He is now living on South Wichita street, in the tenth block.

The foul gases f the stomach and the torpfd action of the liver are easy victims for charcoal to overcome. This great natural cleaner and ab sorbent will most certainly be relished by a system afflicted with gaseous or sluggish tendencies. Charcoal has long been known as a great absorbent of gas. A panful of charcoal will positively purify a room filled with foul odors and decay. Its absorbing ratio is one hundred times greater than its own volume. The ancients gave charcoal for many human ills successfully. The North American Indians used it for snake bite, poison from eating wild herbes and cured what they called "stomach bad medicine" with it. Willow charcoal teems to be the best product for human use, and no doubt the peculiar curative property of the willow- is represented in a chemical quality in its charcoal. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are pure willow and sweet honey blended by tremendous power and compression into a very palatable lozenge. Two or three lozenges eaten after meals will prevent the process of digestion from producing noxious gases. They will vivify a lazy liver and aid every organ which is most likely to be over come through its contact with im purities. They cleanse the stomach and intes tines, bring purity and sweetness out of fermentation and decay and aid digestion by allaying gas. They will aid you and your stomach. The beneficial effects are made evident after each meal when you use char coal as Stuart prepares it. To allay gas at rtight' they are excellent and one arises in the morning without that terrible nauseating bad breath which destroys appetite and renders one miserable.- All druggists sell Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, price twenty-five cents, or send us your name and address and. we will send you a trial package by mail free.

He real ized, that an explosion was at hand, and with wonderful presence of mind he prepared for it by shutting his mouth and eyes. Just as he squeezed his lips tightly he found himself going out through the mouth of the well and into the open air. He landed on solid ground, and that is what saved his life. The wonder is why, after the ex ploding gas shot him out of the well, he did not fall into it again. If he had, he would undoubtedly have been in stantly killed in the fall of more than 70 feet. Instead he landed on the rim of the well, and he was mighty glad of it. Mr. Ellis did not have any too much hair on his head, anyway, but what he had was burnt off in the explosion. His eyebrows are gone, too, but he is glad that he did not fare any worse. He is pretty badly burned, but his con dition is In no way alarming. Near the well in question some gaso line, it is said, was stored. IL leaked into the well and formed a gas there. After the explosion Mr. Ellis was sent home to Wichita, and his injuries were dressed. COLLAR BONE REMOVED. Wichita Surgeons Perform Unusual Operation.' Wichita, Nov. 21. Bay Seger, who was operated on for cancer of the shoulder at the- Wichita hospital Tuesday, is improving and the doc tors think he will recover. The operation was a very difficult one. The left arm and shoulder had to be taken off and a section of the flesh reaching from the middle of the back and to the sternum bone in front was removed. The collar bone was also taken off. Mr. Seger is 28 years old. It is very unusual for a case of cancer to ap pear before one has reached 30 or 40 years of age. BATHS FOR TREES. Will Cost $50,000 to Stop Ravages of San Jose Scale. Wichita, Nov. 21. The Sedgwick County Horticultural society, assisted by State Entomologist S. J.

Dining Room Also Kew.y Fur nished and Decorated. The repairs which have been going on for the past two months at the Copeland hotel are about completed and within a few days but little-of the old hostelry excepting the exterior will remain by, which it can be iden tified. Ten thousand dollars and per haps more will have been expended on the interior of the building arid new furnishings before the improve ments are completed. Every room in the old hostelry which has been so closely identified with the political history of the state has been repapered and repainted. The halls have been treated in the same manner and dozens of changes made which will add to the attrac tiveness and comfort of the hotel. The dining room has been refinish ed and refurnished, every bit of the silverware and glassware and china are of the vintage of 1908 and no fin er will be seen in a public house in Topeka this winter. The big parlors fronting on Kansas avenue have been divided into suites of sleeping rooms and a rest room on the second floor has been made back of this location by deepening the hall by adding the space occupied by a small sleeping room. Fifty of the best rooms in the house have been furnished with private bath rooms, and another of the shortcom ings of the old Copeland overcome. There is not tL nook or corner in the hotel which has escaped the eye of the new manager while overhauling the "structure, even the office which was rebuilt but a year or so ago, has been so changed that it presents an appearance of newness welcomed alike to the old and new patrons of the place. Colonel Copeland Gordon, the vet eran hotel man of the state, will be at the head, of affairs as owner and proprietor, while the active manage ment will fall to George H. Lawrence. The new manager is well known to Kansas patrons of hotels, having for the past four years managed the Hamilton hotel in Wichita, Prior to that time he managed the Planters hotel at Leavenworth. Colonel Gordon is too well known to need an extensive introduction. having been in the hotel business in Topeka for the greater part of the last half century and having built twp of the finest hotels in the city. There will be a naturalness about the Cope land this winter which will add charm to the old hostelry as the members of the legislature gather about its halls to discuss the making and unmaking of a state.

Position of Private Secretary to tlie President an Important One. Washington. Nov. 21. Fred W. Carpenter will be President Tafts pri vate secretary and as such will be come an important factor in Washing ton political and social life during the next four years. The office of secretary to the presi dent is of the highest importance, re quiring a man of quick decision, strong will, smooth diplomacy. He is the offi cial mouthpiece of the administration, and his remarks are quoted as though the president had himself spoken. A slip of the tongue may embarrass the entire nation. In addition to this, he must stand between the president and the outside world when the occasion demands, and must handle the situa tion in such a way as to not embarrass his superior. He must live, talk and act the life of the president. George B. Cortelydu and William Loeb, the last two secretaries, have made themselves internationally fa mous through this position. So much ability was brought out in Secretary Cortelyou that he was made national campaign manager during the light four years ago, and afterwards was made part of the president's official family by being annexed to the cab inet, first as secretary of commerce and labor, as postmaster general, and later as secretary of the treasury, where his sterling worth was made evident during the recent financial de pression. William Loeb. who succeeded Cor telyou. has shown just-as much ability and has had many flattering offers from business concerns who have rec ognized this. When he leave President Roosevelt on March 4 it will be to step Into one or the other of the many lucrative and influential business posi tions which have been offered him. Fred W. Carpenter has been Mr. Taft's private secretary for many years' and will continue as such when he is in the White House. Mr. Car penter ls comparatively little known at present, but he holds the oppor tunity of making himself known over the world, as have his two predeces sors. He is young, energetic and pos sesses all the requirements of a presi dent's private secretary, for when it comes to understanding President elect Taft and his Ideas regarding pub lic affairs and public men there is no one so well qualified as Mr. Carpenter. MOTHER MAY SEE HER. CHILD. Two Days Each Month Says Court to Divorced Parents. A peculiar suit was settled In dis trict court today. On the docket the case appeared as "Martin against Wal lace." Several years ago, Clayton Wallace and his wife were divorced, "With an understanding that the moth er should have possession of her child, which was given into the custody of tho father, at certain intervals. After ward, both parties to the divorce were married. Both Wallace, and his ex wife, whose name is now Lorella Mar tin, live in Topeka, and are neighbors. After her marriage. Wallace notified her that her visits with the boy, now years old. must cease. The mother Immediately brought suit to force her one-time husband to submit the c"ild o her care nr. usunl. The court ruled that the mother should have posses sion of the child two days each month, on the first and third Saturdays.

SH USED A GUN. Aiuia Johnson Forces C. M. Cheatwood to "Eat His Words." That it is dangerous to make remarks about a girl, unless able to furnish proof, is now the firm belief of C. Cheatwood, a grocer who runs a store at Seventh and Chestnut streets. Friday afternoon Cheatwood appear ed In city court in a rather ruffled con dition, and told his story, closing by asking for and receiving a warrant for a girl named Anna Johnson. The girl was arrested, with the intention of binding her ovr to keep the peace, but when the court calls her case, today. It will appear that she Is only 15 years of age. and out of the jurisdiction of the court. The story, as told by Cheatwood, Is probably correct, with the exception of the details. He says that the mother of the girl owed him a grocery bill, and that he had quarreled with her about it. With this illfeeling on tap, he went further and told some one that the girl was not up to the proper moralstand ard. He says he heard this from some one, and simply repeated the rumor.' But his talk reached the ears of the girl herself. Not caring to approach her stepfather with so delicate a subject, the girl decided to stop the defama tory talk in her own way, so she took a nice little revolver, and repaired to Cheatwood's store. Then, in the ver nacular, she told him "where he got off at." She emphasized her request for less loose talk by poking the shiny little gun under the grocer's nose. Cheatwood rushed to the court for pro tection, and swore that the girl had threatened his life, and that he fear ed she would kill him unless restrain ed by the court.- The casevill be taken to the probate court, as- the court of Topeka has no jurisdiction over Juvenile cases.

Kansas Embargo Doesn't Apply to the Tame Kind. When the special session of the leg islature passed a law of the most stringent character for the protection of deer in Kansas, people- smiled. They didn't suppose there were any deer in Kansas, anyway, and they couldn't un derstand why Senator W. J.- Connor of Labette introduced the bill, or why anybody voted for it. The law which Senator Connor pass ed was a rock-ribbed, copper-bottomed affair, setting forth that it is "un lawful for any person or persons at any time in the state of Kansas to hunt, catch, kill, shoot, pursue, en trap, or ensnare" any antelope or deer. Now it happens that Senator Con nor's interest in deer is due to the fact that he owns a deer park. The other day it occurred to Senator Connor that it would be nice to have some deer meat for Thangsgivlng. He contem plated putting one of his tame deer to death, and serving the venison with appropriate ceremonies on November 2 6. Then it happened to occur to him that he had secured the passage of a law probihiting within the state of Kansas -the killing of deer. For a while Senator Connor thought he had been "blown up" by his own petard. His anti-deer killing law had kicked him on the recoil. But Mr. Connor wrote to Attorney General Jackson and asked him whether there was any way to dodge the law and kill one of his own deer. After looking up some authorities, Mr. Jackson decided that the courts had held that such laws as the one Connor passed applied to wild game, and that if a man has a mind to raise deer for his own use,, he can do so, and ihey cease, being wild game and become domestic cattle. So It has been decided that Mr. Connor can eat deer for Thanksgiving. SHE WANTS A SHARE. Mrs. Whltmer Takes Divorce Case to Supremo Court. Catherine C. Whltmer, aged 73, plaintiff, and John Whitmer, aged 60, defendant, are the dramatic personae in a highly sensational and saffron hued divorce suit which was filed to day in the supreme court of the state on appeal from Russell county. The Whitmers were married April 23, 1907, and perhaps the 23 date was their hoodoo. Whitmer is a wealthy farmer who owns lots of land in both Russell and Ellsworth counties. His wife says he is worth $100,000. Mrs Whitmer, who before her marriage was Miss Catherine Fitz-Allen. (a name, which, by the way, she assumed through ap peal to the courts, for no very obvious reason) lived at Leavenworth and at Kansas City. She is said to own some valuable property in Kansas City. The couple was happy only six weeks after marriage, and judging from the frightful display of vulgar and profane language in the record, they certainly said things to each other. Mrs. Whitmer charged that her husband abused her. and Mr. Whitmer said that his wife wouldn't stay at home but kept gadding about the country- Mrs. Whitmer sued for a divorce, and a good big slice of Whitmer's property; Whitmer came back with a counter petition for divorce, and no property concessions. The court apparently was willing to accommodate both parties with the divorce, but he failed to give Mrs. Whitmer any of the property. Hence she -appeals to the supreme court. $3.00 for a Xante.
