Also Stops the Use of Liquor in Clubs. An Inside Story of How It All Happened. The judiciary committee of the senate has "seen" Attorney General Jackson, and raised" him the limit. Absolute prohibition for the state of Kansas, involving the discontinuance of all permits to druggists, clubs or any other persons for the sale of intoxicat ing liquor for whatever purpose, is pro vided for in a substitute for H. B. No. 259, which was presented to the senate this morning by the judiciary commit tee. The house bill is what is known s the Jackson measure introduced by the committee on temperance ana hygiene. It was quite a lengthy meas ure. The senate committee's substitute bill is not notable for length, but it is regarded as even more far reaching and radical. The new bill forbids the manufacture nr sale in the state, either directly or Indirectly, of any intoxicating liquors, j rv n n i- mirruua renPfllin? tne existLnttT for any purpose, repealing the existing prohibitory law which allows the is suance of permits for the sale of liquor for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes. Any person who manufac tures or sells any intoxicating liquor shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor and subject to a fine of from J100 to J500 and a jail sentence of from thirty to ninety days. Persons aiding In the manufacture or sale of intoxi cants shall be subject to the same pen alties as principals. Agents are forbid den to take or receive orders for liquor from any person in the state and any one who shall directly or indirectly contract for the sale of liquor with any person in the state shall also be sub ject to the penalties mentioned. There are only two exemptions pro vided under this bill. The making of wine or cider from grapes or apples grown and raised bv the person mak ing the same, for his own use. and the sale of wine for communion purposes, are to be permitted. If this bill be comes a law, judging from the con struction placed upon its provisions, any person residing in Kansas who de sires a drink of liquor, will either be oblisred to raise his own grapes or ap ples, or else become a communicant of some ecclesiastical organization. The druggists who "howled" against the Jackson bill will probably shriek fran tically over the substitute act present ed by the senate judiciary committee. An Inside Story. There is an Inside story in connection with the action of the senate judiciary committee on this matter. During and since the discussion of the Jackson bill in the house, it is stated, there have been remarks made by druggists and certain probate Judges and county attorneys over the state, to the effect that the Jackson bill would not "get by" the senate; that the druggists who had been guilty of flagrant violations of the prohibitory laws would be denied per mits, but that there would be no fur ther legislation on the liquor question. In fact, intimations were covertly made that some money would be used to prevent any more drastic prohibitory-legislation. These remarks and reports that the senate would kill the Jackson bill reached the ears of the senators and last night in the judiciary committee the members unanimously decided to draft a. radical absolute prohibitory law. eliminating all permits for the manufacture or sale of intoxicants. It is conceded that the committee succeeded in preparing a radical law. Not only will drug stores be prohibited from selling liquor for any purposes, but the various clubs throughout the state -will be obliged to say in the language- of the old song. "Good-bye, booze." If a physician desires to prescribe liquor for a patient he will be obliged to send outside of the state to have his prescription filled. If a school teacher wants a glass of alcohol for the purpose of cooking an egg to show the pupils the effects of the demon rum. she must send outside the state for the alcohol. The comments openly made that the senate might be relied upon to kill the Jackson prohibition bill, in censed the senators and they took up the matter and in their action said to the commentators: "Just for that jou'll all get off." Opposition of a majority of the sen ators to the proposition to give the people of the state greater voice in the selection of their United States senators developed at the corning ses sion in the rejection of the minority report from the elections committee relative to S. B. Xo. 40. This bill provides for the instruction of state senators and representatives with re spect to the electors choice of a Unit ed States senator. The majority re port of the election committee sub mitted by Chairman Brewster was that the bill be not passed. Senator Robertson offered a minority report recommending the passage of the bill Senator Hodges moved the adoption of the minority report, and asked for a roll on the question. The chair could not Count ten senators desiring a roll call and this request was de nipd. Senator Robertson said that con- tlie"tl th,e ,.p,a"?rm expression of the two parties there should be no differences between the Democrat and Republican members rllTtWe to the passage of the bill. He declared that Senator Bristow. Governor Stubbs and other state omce made this proposition one of their chief is! Si!es v.the J81 camPaign and that it should be adopted. ac 11 A number of senators questioned Senator Robertson relative to the of fect of the bill. lne ef Senator Potter: "Is it not possible underbills plan to elect a senator who would not be satisfactory to the ma jority of the elector??" a Senator Robertson: "I think not arv candidate for the senate receiv- TUESDAY EVENING. ed a majority of the votes cast, he would be satisfactory to the majority of electors." Senator Potter suggested that in case t)J re were a number of candi dates for the senate on each party ticket the man receiving a plurality might not be satisfactory to the ma jority of voters. Senator Brewster: "Isn't this a bill roirmellinsr Republicans to vote for a Democratic senator under certain fonditinns Senator Robertson: "I don't think the Iemoeratic party lately has been able to coerce the Republican party vprv much." Senator Quincy: "II it is aesiraDie for the people to elect United States senators by direct vote- would it not be better to amend the constitution 01 th. TTnited States? Senator Robertson: "That might be the better plan, but thus far we have been unable to secure such a change n the constitution through the fellows down in Washington and I think it a good plan to educate the people of the states to the proposition so mat iney dill send men to coneress who win make the change in the constitution. Senator Hodges made quite a speecn in favor of the bill. He declared tnat conditions in Kansas have changed wonderfully since the state s constitu tion was adopted and we are now liv- inz in an era of reform and progress the farmers are sufficiently intelligent and educated to act wisely upon the imnnrtant auestions before the whole peopje. "Kansas," he declared, "is rich in wealth and rich in manhood and the people of the state can De trusted to send a proper man to the United States senate, as -wen as to elect any state officer." He said tne bill is an act for Instruction of legisla tors and is not binding m case an un desirable man should be selected by thti voters. Senator Moore favored the bill be cause he thought the plan would re move representatives and senators from running against a candidate for the national senate.. In his own case, he said, he did not run against his op- p'nt Mr Caldwell, alone, but against i t c ti-( j. i. jsnsiow candidate for the Uni ted States senate as well. Senator Hodges again demanded a roll call, but it was refused and the minority report was rejected and the bill was killed upon the adoption of the committee report. The Democratic senators all voted for the adoption of Senator Robertson's re port. The Republican senators who voted with the Democrats on this question were Senators Avery, Bender, Fowler, Hamilton, Myers, Potter, Stan ley and Travis. Senator Chapman announced that the senate conferees on the legislative ap propriation bill have "labored indus triously" to get the house conferees to gether for a meeting but have not suc ceeded. The senate gave the senate committee additional time for eport. After brief debate the senate adopted Senator Huffman's resolution fixing the time of convening the senate at 2 p. m. each day. This will go into effect to morrow. The mornings will be devoted to committee meetings. The senate went into committee of the whole with Senator Price in the chair and the time until 12 o'clock was consumed in discussion of Senator Quincy's assessment and taxation bill, which was the cause of much debate last week. When the committee arose it decided to report the bill to the sen ate with recommendation that it be passed subject to amendment and de bate. Bills in tlie Senate. The following bills were nitroduced in the senate today: S. B. No. 487. v By Hostrup An act for the appropriation of interest Re ceived during 1910 and 1911 from the permanent fund of the Kansas State Agricultural college. S. B. No. 488.

Feb. 9 Lamprecht Brothers Co., bankers and brokers, filed a deed of assignment insolvent in court today. The assignment was made to T. H. Bushnell. The assets were stated to be $50,000 above liabilities. The Lamprecht firm is the one -which has stood sponser for the Topeka Southwestern road, which has been hanging fire for the past three years. On the face of the above Associated Press dispatch it would seem that the project of building a line between here and Council Grove has become an im possibility with this company backing it. However "Doc" Goodwin, general manager of the construction company, and F. J. Curnick, who has been in the city for some time as the agent of Lamprecht Bros., when informed of the assignment by the State Journal today stated that the road would be built and that the failure of the firm made no difference. They insist that this firm was merely acting as a fiscal agent for the moneyed men who were backing the venture. TWENTY-NINTH BALLOT. Voting for United States Senator Re sumed in Illinois. Springfield. III., Feb. 9. Balloting for United States senator was resumed in the Illinois legislature here today. The 29th joint ballot was without re sult.

PAINTS DARK PICTURE Intimates Kansas Politics Had Sunk to Lowest Depths. Says Situation May Be Different In Jfew York. Albany, N. T., Feb. 9. J. N. Dolley, speaker of the Kansas bouse of repre sentatives and chairman of the Kansas Republican committee has. sent to Governor Hughes a copy of a letter written by him to a New York citizen who asked for information regarding the operation of the direct nominations law in Kansas. Speaker Dolley au thorized publication of the letter which was given out by Governor Hughes last night. The name of the man to whom the letter was addressed was not announced. Speaker Dollev tells of the steps which eventually led to the adoption of direct nominations, and says in part: I can not now tell you how cor rupt, how vicious, how high-handed, how subversive of ood morals, how rotten the old convention system was. Indeed, the inside workings of state conventions and midnight conclaves leading up thereto have never been told. It need not be told. The old sys tem is gone. Let its machinations sleep. It may suffice to say that cliques and cabals representing the corporations, the special interests and those who have fattened at public ex pense had manipulated caucuses, coun ty conventions and state conventions legislatures and congresses and traded and dickered and trafficked in political candidacy and policies for a genera tion, and the people had no remedy. The Democratic party was controlled by the same sinister influences. A re volt at the polls on election day brought no relief. Perhaps the situation is different: in New York. Perhaps you have no bosses of precincts and wards and counties who obey mandates or nigh bosses in state affairs. Perhaps those who sit at the political pie counter by grace of federal appointments and all those who draw long salaries for little work at public expense have not ar rogated to themselves the right to dic tate to the Republican and Democratic voters of your state, county and local officers. Perhaps there is a fair ex pression of popular will in that regard. If so you do not need a primary elec tion law. If s&, New York politics has bc-en- badly maligned,, throughout th republic." Speaker' Dolley answers a number of objections that have been raised to the direct nomination system and declares: "Kansas would no more return to the convention system of ten years ago than it would to the shotgun system of the Jayhawkers and Redlegs of fifty years ago." PRESIDENT'S LETTER. Referring to a Story About Him, That Has Been Going Around. Los Angeles. Feb. 9. Mrs. A. W. Rhoades. of this city, whose daughter was mentioned in the Washington story which was widely circulated to the ef fect that President Roosevelt had struck the young lady's horse while riding past her in the road, has receiv ed the following letter from the presi dent on the subject: Mv Dear Mrs. Rhoades I thank you for the letter of the 29th ultimo and am glad to hear from you that your daughter denied the story that I struck her horse. Of course I never struck her horse or any other lady s horse. The whole story -was so absurd as not to be worth denial. Numerous stories of this kind are started from time to time by foolish or malicious people, oc casionally I am obliged to deny them but as a rule I find it best simply to ignore them, because denying them calls attention to them and gives a chance to mischief makers to mislead well meaning people by further repeti tions of the stories. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. WAR SPECTRE GONE. Franco and Germany Sign Agreement on Morocco. Paris, Feb. 9. France and Germany today signed a far reaching agreement concerning Morocco, thus banishing a spectre, which for years has loomed up intermittently as the cause of strained relations bewteen the two countries. Of more importance still perhaps, than the actual settlement of pending difficulties and the harmoniz ing of views concerning Morocco is the moral effect of establishing a broad basis of friendly relations between two nations, which have been separated, so to speak, since the war of 1S70. The agreement signed today guar antees the integrity of Morocco and Insures perfect allegiance to the terms of .the Algeclraa act. France recog nizes Germany's economic interests in Morocco, while Germany recognizes the particular political interest of France there. PREACHERS PROTEST. But Hammerstein's House Was Sold Out in Five Hours for Salome. Philadelphia, Feb. 9. The forthcom ing production of "Salome" at Oscar Hammerstein's Philadelphia opera house 'Thursday night with Miss Mary Garden in the title role has aroused the opposition of the clergy of Philadel phia. Several of the ministerial bodies adopted resolutions of protest at their regular meetings. The Presbyterians In resolutions declare that the production is declared by competent critics to pander under the guise of high art to the lower passions of human nature." The house was sold out Ave hours after the ticket office opened. TOPEKA. KANSAS, FEBRUARY 9, 1909. TRISJIpOWN. Legislature May Cut Off Many Useless Boards. Plan to Consolidate Them With State Schools. WILL SAVE A BIG SUM. Mr. Amrine Figures It Would Amount to 100,000. Now the Work of Departments Is Divided. The movement started in. the legis lature last week by the resolution by Mercer of Chase: to .have a committee appointed to investigate the numer ous state commissions and abolish as many as possible and curtail the ex penses without affecting the efficiency or meir work, originated with Amrine of Morns, who, after; a careful studv of the situation, drew up a list of the commissions; their expense, duties, etc.,- in which, is clearly set forth the manner in Which their duties ran h merged with the different ripnai-tmonta of the State Agricultural college, the State University and the department iuuur. This investigation is liable to ho tar reacning and arouse a sensation in certain quarters before it is finished. It may affect twelve different com- nii.-.-iuiis ana aep&rtments and it is possible tnat the sum of over $100,000 biennially will be .saved the state thereby. Cranston of Labette. Crow of Butler and Kuoni of Marshall form the house committee to investigate this matter and a report or recommendation to the legislature is expected from this committee the last of this week. Speaker Dolley and Governor Stubbs are interested with Amrine and Mercer in this investigation. If found practical some or all of these commissions will be (Vme away with. The following comrsissions are af fected and the datum following each commission is in the -form of a eruide -or suggestion for the committee as a basis upon which to start its investi gation Academy of Science biennial ending July, 1009. receives $2,600. Three state institutions have extensive departments of science. Board of veterinary registration, present biennium receives $13,000. Vet erinary on this board is -already at Agricultural college and presumably the work, can be done wholly under the organization of that institution. Dairy commissioners ..iart biennium receives $8,000. This commissioner has offices at the Agricultural college. His work is valuable HMit presumably the appropriation should go direct to the dairy department of the college as maintenance and the efficiency of the service be increased. Dairy inspectors ought to be graduates of this depart ment of the college. Forestry station, two, present bien nium receives $12,000. The Agricultural college has a department 'Of forestry and is experimenting in forestry at the Fort Hays farm. Free' employment bureau, last bien nium receives $3,400. Should clearly be part of labor commissioner's office which has more than time to take care of it. Horticultural society. Last biennium receives $7,500. The Agricultural col lege has an excellent department of horticulture, full equipment for send ing bulletins and has an 8,000 acre farm at Hays where experiments in horticul ture are carried out. Live stock sanitary commission, last biennium, receives $22,000. It is a ques tion whether this work could be done under the college but as it pertains to diseases of cattle, a very efficient force could be organized at the college. Medical registration board. Last bien nium receives $4,600. This is a board to examine candidates for physicians' cer tificates. The medical school of the State University graduates physicians and is competent to examine all candi dates and grant certificates. The medi cal school is in session only part of the year and the faculty could easily handle this work. Poultry association. Last biennium receives $20,000. The Agricultural college has a department ready, will ing and equipped to do the work of this commission. State entomological commission. Last biennium receives $10,000. This biennium bill passed the house carry ing $30,000. This work is a regular department at the Agricultural col lege which is fully equipped and has now men in the field fighting the San Jose scale. They have machines and money which come to them through the general maintenance fund of the Agricultural College. Oil inspection department. Biennium receives $15,600. The five deputy inr spectors do little or nothing and their services could be dispensed with with out impairment of the department, but the oil inspector himself should be retained. The deputies to be dis missed receive $12,000 biennially. Gov. Stubbs has already recom mended their dismissal. There are three 'different libraries now in the state house and one more Is contemplated. All of these should be assembled under one head and thus increase the efficiency reduce the expense and save room. SUSPECT RELEASED. Ottuimva Police Are Now Working on Another Clue. Ottumwa, la., Feb. 9. With the re lease for lack of evidence of Joe Hop kins, the negro government meat in spector, charged with the murder of Clara Rosen, a white girl, the police are now working upon a new clew. A button evidently torn from an overcoat was found in the abandoned cellar where the unfortunate girl was thrown. The chief of police asserts that they may be able to connect this button with a suspected person. Hop kins was released upon the motion of the county attorney upon the grounds of lack of evidence to hold him. The release of the various colored suspects dispels the theory of a vicious assailant and the motive now- being worked upon is plain robbery and jealousy upon the part of some disappointed lover. ON A HJGHf LANE. Country Life Shows Up Well Compared With Past. President Roosevelt Submits Report of the Commission. A SPECIAL MESSAGE Accompanies Document Embody ing Recommendations. Ask for an Appropriation of $25,000 for the Work. Washington, Feb. 9. President Roosevelt today transmitted to con gress a special message accompanying the report of the country life commis sion. The message follows: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I transmit herewith the rcnort of the commission on country life. At the outset I desire to point out that not a dollar of the public money has been paid to any commissioner for his woric on the commission. The report shows .the general con dition of farming life in the open country, and points out its larger problems; it indicates ways in which tne government, national and state, may show the people how to solve some of these problems; and it sug gests a continuance of the work which the commission began. Judging by thirty public hearings, to which farmers and farmers'- wives from forty states and territories came, and from 120,000 answers to printed questions sent out by the department. of agriculture, the commission finds that the general level of country -life is high compared with any preceding time or with any other land. If it has m recent years slipped down in some places, it has risen in more places. Its progress has been general, if not uni form. Yet farming does not yield either the profit or the satisfaction that it ought to yield and may be made to yield. There is discontent in the country, and in places discourage ment. Farmers as a class do not magnify their calling, and the move ment to the towns, though, I am happy to say, less than formerly. Is still strong. Three Main Ways. Under our system.lt is helpful to pro mote discussion of ways in which the people can help themselves. There are three main directions in which the farmers can help themselves; namely, better farming, better business, and better living on the farm. The na tional department of agriculture, which has rendered services equaled by no oiner similar aepariment in any other time or place; the state departments of agriculture: the state colleges of agriculture and the mechanical arts. especially through their extension work; the state agricultural experiment stations; the Farmers' Union; the Grange; the agricultural press; and other similar agencies; have all com bined to place within the reach of the American farmer an amount and qual ity of agricultural Information which, if applied, would enable him, over large areas, to double the production of the farm. The object of the commission on country life therefore is not to help the farmer raise better crops, but to call his attention to the opportunities for bet ter business and better living on the farm. If country life is to become what it should be, and what I believe it ulti mately will be one of the- most dig nified, desirable and sought-after ways of earning a living the farmer must take advantage not only of the agricul tural knowledge which is at his dis posal, but of the methods which have raised and continue to raise the stand ards of living and of intelligence .in other callings. Those engaged in all other industrial and commercial callings have found it necessary, under modern economic conditions. to organize themselves for mutual advantage and for the protec tion of their own particular interests in relation to other Interests. The farm ers of every progressive European country haS'e realized this essential fact and have found in the cooperative sys tem -exactly the form of business com bination they need. Now whatever the state may do to ward improving the practice of agri culture, it is not within the sphere of any government to reorganize the farmers' business or reconstruct the social life of farming communities. It is, however, quite within its power to use its influence and the machinery of publicity which it can control for call ing public attention to the needs and the facts. For example, it is the ob vious duty of the government to call the attention of farmers to the grow ing monopolization of water power. The farmers above all should have that power, on reasonable terms, for cheap transportation, for lighting their homes, and for innumerable uses in the daily tasks on the farm. Could Bo Better. It would be idle to assert that life on the farm occupies as good, a posi tion in dignity, desirability and busi ness results as the farmers might eas ily give it if they chose. One of the chief difficulties is the failure of coun try life, as it exists at present, to sat isfy the higher social and intellectual aspirations of country people. Wheth er the constant draining away of so much of the best elements in the ru ral population into the towns is due chiefly to this cause or to the super ior business opportunities of city life may be open to question. But no one at all familiar with farm life through out the United -States can fail to rec ognize the necessity for building up the life of the farm upon its social as well as upon its productive side. It is true that country life has im proved greatly in attractiveness. health and comfort, and that the far mer's earnings are higher than they wre. But city life is advancing even more rapidly, because of the greater attention which is being given by the citizens of the towns to their own betterment. For just this reason the introduction of effective agricultural cooperation throughout the United States is or tne nrst importance. Where farmers are organized cooper atively they not only avail themselves much more readily of business op portunities and improved methods. but it is found that the organizations which bring them together in the TUESDAY EVENING. work of their lives1 are used also for social and intellectual advancement. The cooperative plan is the best plan of organization wherever men have the right spirit to carry it out. Under this plan any business under taking is managed by a committee; every man has one vote and only one vote; and, everyone gets profits ac cording to what he sells or buys or supplies. It' develops individual re sponsibility and has a moral as well as a financial value over any other plan. I desire only to take counsel with the farmers as fellowcitizens. It is not the problem of the farmers alone that I am discussing with them, but a problem which affects every city as wejl as every farm in the country. it is a problem which the working far mers will have to solve for them selves; but it is a problem which also affects In only less degree all the rest or us, and therefore if we can render any help toward its solution, it is not oniy our duty but our interest'to do so. Why It Was Done. The foregoing will. I hope, make it clear why I appointed a commission to consider problems of farm life which have hitherto had far too little atten tion, and the neglect of which has not only held back life in the country, but also lowered the efficiency of the whole nation. The welfare of the farmer Is of vital consequence to the -welfare of the whole community. The strengthen ing of country life, therefore, is the strengthening of the whole nation. The commission has tried to help the farmers to see clearly their own prob lem and to see it as a whole; to dis tinguish clearly between what the gov ernment can do and what the farmers must do for themselves; and it wishes to bring not only the farmers but the nation as a whole to realize that the growing of crops, though an essential part, is only a part of country life. Crop growing is the essential founda tion; but it no less essential that the farmer shall get an adequate return for what he grows; and it is no less es sential indeed it is literally vital that he and his wife and his children shall lead the right kind of life. For this reason, it is of the first im portance that the United States de partment of agriculture, through which as prime agent the ideas the commis sion stands for must reach the people, should become without delay in fact a department of country life, fitted to deal not only with crops, but also with all the larger aspects of life in the open country. From all that has been done and learned three great general and Imme diate needs of country life stand out: First, effective co-operation among farmers, to put them on a level with the organized interests with which they do business. Second, a new kind of schools in the country, which shall teach the children as much outdoors as indoors and per haps more, so that they will prepare for country life, and not as at present, mainly for life in town. Third, better means of communica tion, including good roads and a par cels post, which the country people are everywhere, and rightly, unanimous in demanding. To these may well be added better saaitsttonTTdr' easily preventable dis eases hold several million Country peo ple In the slavery of continuous ill health. The commission points out, and I concur in the conclusion, that the most important help that the government, whether national or state, can give is to show the people how to go about these tasks of organization, education, and communication with the best and quickest results. 'This can be done by the collection and spread of informa tion. One community can thus be In formed of what other communities have-done, -and one country of what other countries have done. Such help by the people's government would lead to a comprehensive plan of organiza tion,' education, and communication, and make the farming country better to live in, for intellectual a.nd social reasons as well as for purely agricul tural reasons. The government through the depart ment of agriculture does not cultivate any man's farm for him. But it does put at his service useful knowledge that he would not otherwise get. In the same way the national and state governments might put into the peo ple's hands the new and right knowl pdjre of school work. The task of maintaining and developing the schools would remain, as now, witn tne people themselves. Asks for $25,000. The only recommendation I submit is that an appropriation of $25,000 be provided, to enable the commission to digest the material it has collected, and to collect and to digest much more that is within its reach, and thus complete its work. This would en able the commission to gather in the harvest of suggestion which is result ing' from the discussion it has stirred up. The commissioners have served without compensation, and I do not recommend any appropriation for their services. but only tor tne expenses that will be required to finish the task that they have begun. To Improve our system of agricul ture seems to nre the most urgent of the tasks which lie before us. But it can not, in my judgment, be effected by measures which touch only the material and technical side of the subject; the whole business and life of the farmer must also be taken into account. Such considerations led me to appoint the commission on country life. Our object should be to help develop In the country community the great ideals of community life as well as of personal character. One of the most important adjuncts to 'this end must be the country church, and I in vite your attention to what the com mission says of the country church and of the need of an extension of such work as that of the Toung Men's Christian association In country com munities. Let me lay special em phasis upon what the commission says at the very end of its report on per sonal ideals and local leadership. Everything resolves itself in the end Into the question of personality. Neither society nor government can do much for country life unless there is voluntary response in the personal ideals of the men and women who live in the country. In the development of character, the home should be more important than the school, or than society at large. When once the basic material needs have been met, high ideals may be quite independent of income; but they can not be realized without sufficient income to provide adequate foundation; and where the community at large is not financially prosperous it is impossible to develop a high average' personal and community ideal. In short, the fundamental facts of human nature apply to men and women who live In the country just as they apply to men and women who live in towns. (Continued on Page EUttt.1 TWO CENTS. IT IS AJJZZARD. Storm Prevails Oyer Large Sec tion of the West. Began With Rain and Later Changed to Snow. ZERO TEMPEKATUHE. Wind Blowing at Rate of 52 Miles an Hour. Much Damage Done to Property in Lincoln, Nebraska. Lincoln. Neb., Feb. 9. Railway men. street car managers and telegraph companies are today struggling against a blizzard which seems to be general throughout the state. A rain set in last night. There was thunder and, lightning all the features of an au tumn downpour. Later the rain chang ed to snow, the mercury dropped to zero and the wind attained a velocity of 63 miles an hour. Railway trains are belated on all tha roads, the cutting wind and the in tense cold making traffic difficult. The telegraph companies soon repair ed the damage to the lines and handled the business with slight delay. Tha telephone companies also managed to keep in communication with the larger cities in the state. Signs were blown down and plate glass windows .were smashed. It is estimated that Lincoln merchants sustained a loss of $3,000 from the breaking of windows. St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 9. Northwest Missouri is In the grasp of another blizzard. Rain fell last night, followed this morning by intense cold and there is great suffering, particularly In live stock. Omaha, Neb.. Feb. 9. The blizzard predicted by the weather bureau reach ed Omaha this morning and at 8 o'clock a 32 mile wind whose velocity was in creasing every minute was driving a plentiful fall of snow from the north west and rapidly lowering the tempera ture which was then recorded as three degrees above zero.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 9, 1909. A STRONG TEAM. The Topeka Aggregation Looks Good to Frank Isbell. Wichita Manager Speaks Word of Praise for Locals. LIKES DANNY GREEN. Thinks His Former. Teammate "Will Make Good Man: Wishes That Wichita Had Jiore of the Topeka Push.1 v DIckl Cooiey says Topeka will have ft good team next season. This Is suf ficient assurance for most of the loyal Topeka fans, and no fears over the Western League baseball future of the city are entertained. There are some, however, who think, the Topeka team iWlll be found wanting next season. Cooiey is not the only authority for the statement that Topeka will have a frood team. Frank Isbell is another who thinks that Topeka will be in the run ning. Last Sunday Issy edited the sporting dope of the Wichita Eagle. In fact he thinks that Topeka has a bet ter team than the Jobbers. Here is the way he sizes up the race at this time: "After carefully looking over the list of players that has been signed up by the different clubs in the "Western League and being thoroughly familiar with the playing ability of the greater majority, I know that the fans in the Western League circuit will be treated to a. very high class grade of baseball the coming season. "In Danny Green, Topeka landed a fine ball player. He is a good hitter, a fine base runner and for years was considered among the stars of the American League, his only weakness .being a weak arm, but he will more than make up for that, as his quali ties tfre excellent in all other depart ments of the game. Topeka will have good ball club and look like con tenders for the first division honors. Sioux City looks at the present time the most dangerous of opponents. Ducky Holmes, with his hustling abili ties and never-give-up spirit, is bound to be in the fighting all the way through. The fact that he has all ot itis last year championship team in tact and with added strength, makes I the Packers look all the more danger- i ous. I "Omaha, with the faithful Pa Rourke at the helm, is always in the running. He, too, has most all of his last year s club left and should be considered in the same class as Sioux City. "Lincoln and Pueblo are both feared by all clubs. At the close of last sea son they looked to be as good as any two clubs In the "Western League. "Wichita, Denver and Des Moines are 'the dark horses and are liable to upset all calculations. 'In fact, every club in the league looks to have a fine collection of talent, and you can look for a battle royal from the ring of the first bell on the 28th of April until the curtains drop on the 27th of September." In another article oa the sport page Mr.. Isbell devotes considerable space to protest against the knocking of the fan3 and asks them to boost instead. In this connection he holds Topeka up to the Wichita fans as shining example of what the fans of a town ought to do. Here Is the Way he puts it: For instance, Topeka and who would thfnk of comparing Wichita with To peka no sooner heard that that city was in the Western Leauge, than it raised $2,000 in cold cash and handed it over to Dick Cooiey. Topeka consid ered it worth something to be classed with Omaha, Sioux City, Des Moines, Lincoln, Denver and Pueblo. Yet, and I don't want to be looked upon as boastful, it was Wichita which really accomplished that much desired end, after Topeka had exhausted itself in trying to effect the expansion of the FWestern League. That is one reason Cooiey landed one good man in partic ular, whom we wanted and on whom iwe toad first calk He had the neces sary cash, while we had to dicker for terms. He got the man, counts. mem b ere d as an eccentrlo youngster wno worked for Springfield season be lore last.

O'Neill is helping Charles Comiskey arrange" the western Itin erary for his two teams, one of which will be seen in Topeka In April. Joplin has signed a new outfielder, Walter Bayless, a cousin of Harry or Dick as he was better known in the W. A. Walter has been in the army in the Philippines for several years. Dicky will play with Atlanta in the Southern league next season. So strenuous have baseball affairs become in Oklahoma City, that Pres ident Moist of that team is anxious to quit and his franchise is now being advertised for sale. Oklahoma Is as sured of a berth in the Texas league now, so that the Western association will have to hunt tor a new town. Denver Times: J. F. Gunthorpe the new half owner of the Denver baseball club, is a good example of a thrifty man. Some of you Denver school kids can learn a lesson here without a hir ed teacher and fraternities. He started out a few years ago practically flat In pockets. He got busy with his brain and started a weekly paper. He sold it and bought another, and in the town of Plainview with only a few hundred bugs on the whole burg site he worked up a buzz that netted him something like $3,000 a year. He is young and if success in the future I RAILR0AD NEWS. New North and South Line Plan ned for Western Kansas. Annual Meeting of Nebraska, Kansas and Southern Held. WORK- HAS STARTED.

The latest project that is tak ing on new life Is the Nebraska, Kan sas Southern, a road which is planned along the popular idea of se curing a north and south road for western Kansas. A party of interest ed stockholders spent all of last week in going over the proposed route in au tomobiles, and as a result they seem much more enthusiastic over the transacted .during .the past year. He told of the actual construction work which is being carried on over a portion of the system. He, told of the visit of James Stephenson, who is the field rep resentative of the New York firm which is backing the venture and of his ex cellent report to the company which he represents. The meeting is said to have been an enthusiastic one. The prospeots of the line were shown to be excellent. The road has been financed completely and the work of construction is well under way In seyeral .places. Several miles of the grading has been com pleted and It will. be. but a few weeks until work will begin along the entire route between Garden City and Stock ton.

It seems likely now that Beloit will have a place in the Central Kansas league for 1909. It was originally intended to place teams in Clay Center and Concordia, but the inactivity of these towns, has caused Beloit to get Into the race, with good chances of secur ing a franchise. The proposition locally is being pushed by R. M. Anderson, Mayor Mitchell. M. E. Michaelson. J. E. Smith, C L. Kagey, J. L. Burkhart, Pat Brandt. Dr. J. F. Howard, Robert Long, J. E. Cool and Harry Annan, all well known busi ness men. The other towns in the league are Manhattan, Abilene, Ellsworth and Minneapolis. THE PASSING OF TAYLOR. Dummy and Mctiraw Were More Than Ordinary Friends. New York, Feb. 9. The dropping of "Dummy" Taylor by the GUants is prob ably the hardest official order that Mo Graw has ever been compelled to issue. There was a feeling between Taylor and the chief of the Giants which was more than ordinary friendship. On account of his rare good humor and his love for fun, coupled with his Infirmity. Taylor en deared himself to McGraw, a'nd it is likely that if McGraw had been in a position to do so he would have kept the 'Dummy" on his payroll for life. On the other hand Taylor thinks thera is no man like Mc Graw, and his forced retirement from the Giants will be the bitterest moment of his life. Taylor has felt for two years that McGraw did more for him than his ser vices really warranted, and when the manager offered to raise the deaf mute pitcher's salary he declined. He is the first ball player on record that ever re fused an Increase In salary. I Everybody reads the State Journal.

Cooper'a theory that the American stomach has grown weak and is responsible for most sickness is receiving the strongest sort of en dorsement from a surprising number of New Yorkers. Among many people who have re cently become convinced that Cooper is correct and his medicine all he claims is Mrs. Eleanor Harris, of 226 Rodney street, Brooklyn. Thursday afternoon Mrs. Harris called at the store where Cooper is meeting the public, and when inter viewed said: "I am only too willing to tell what, a remarkable experience I have had with Cooper's New Dis covery, and what a wonderful medicine I know it to be. "I have had rheumatism for sixteen years and took so much medicine in trying to get rid of it that for the past eight years my stomach has been in a -fearful condition, as ray digestion was almost ruined. For ten years I consulted one physician after an other, but my rheumatism got steadily worse. Finally my stomach got in euch a state that I had to stop taking medicine altogether. "When I first heard of Mr. Cooper's medicine and what It was doing In New York I was afraid to try it; but I finally decided to take it, and if It ala me no good l would never take any medicine again. I started th treatment six weeks ago. The first effect it had was to give me a better appetite than I have had for ten years. Then my food began to digest and no longer distressed me for hours after eating. At the end of the third week I noticed that I was not Buffering as much from rheumatism, and each day the pain and stiffness grew less until I no longer had any rheumatism. For the past week I feel as though I had been made over entirely, as I have no pains or aches and eat three hearty meals a day, with no indigestion whatever. "My two nieces and my. sister have had stomach trouble. "When they saw what the medicine was doing for me they all tried it. It has helped them Just as it did me, and they are de lighted with their Improvement. One of them told me that it was worth more than its weight in gold to her. This sounds almost impossible, but every word of it is true." Cooper's New Discovery has made a wonderful record in New York and other cities. It Is now on sale at leading druggists everywhere.

Topeka Lawyer Discusses Gov ernment by Commission. Enlightens the Easteners About New Civic Idea. Washington, D. C, Feb. 9. All the in formation drifting toward the White House during the past few days con firms the State Journal's story of recent date that the Taff cabinet wiil be made up of new men, without any of the members of the present cabinet. It is declared on good authority today that the only possible exception to this is George von I Meyer, now postmaster general. The greatest disappointment Is expressed regarding the case of Sec retary Wilson. His friends know that he has not received any offer of a cabi net place, and they are beginning to fear that he is to be succeeded by an other man.

It is understood here that the Kan sas delegation, will press the name of Secretary Coburn for the agricultural portfolio. r-nneressman Victor Murdock has in troduced a bill in the house directing the secretary of the treasury to pay to the Watson Mill company of Wichita the sum of J2.000.50, to reimburse that company for losses suffered by it through the fumigation by officers of the marine hospital service of 3,500 packs of flour during its shipment from New Orleans to Porto Rico. Mr. Murdock also presented a meas ure appropriating the sum of $430 to be paid to E. N.

"The two candidates for mayor and the four candidates for commissioners who receive the highest number of votes at the primary are the can didates whose names shall be placed upon the ballot at the April election.

One commissioner is to have charge of streets and public utilities, and one education, finance, and revenue. ,o franchise or privilege can be granted to any per son, firm or corporation without compensation to the city, and none can be granted until approved by a majority of the electors voting at a general or special election for that purpose."

Do Not Want Memorial From the Legislature. Judiciary Will Not Be Taken Out of Politics. The senate late Monday afternoon, upon motion of Senator Porter, de cided to appoint a conference commit tee as requested by the house for the purpose' of conferring further upon the bill appropriating money to pay the salaries of legislators and em ployes. President Fitzgerald designat ed Senators Chapman and Reed, as the senate conferees. It is presumed the committee will meet immediately and try to adjust tlie differences between the house and senate over the salary bill. It is believed, however, that if any concessions are made the house members will have to do the conced ing as the senators are determined to stand by the position they took in the first instance. On motion of Senator Hostrup, the senate recalled from the house the concurrent resolution thanking the students of the Kansas Agricultural college and providing for voluntary subscriptions from the legislators for a suitable memorial to present to the students as a token of appreciation of the junket recently taken to Manhat tan at the students' expense. The resolution was recalled upon the read ing of a communication from the stu dents stating fhey accepted the thanks of the legislators, but preferred not to accept a memorial. A resolution was presented by Sen ator Huffman" fixing the time of con vening of the senate at 2 o'clock each afternoon until further notice. The purpose of this resolution is to permit the senators to attend to their com mittee work in the forenoons and spend the afternoons in committee of the whole and in passing bills. The resolution will probably be adopted to day and go into effect Wednesday. The senate passed S. B. No. 323, providing for taxing telegraph, tele phone and pipe line companies, and S. B. No. 330, appropriating funds with which to pay the interest on state bonds for the years 1910 and 1911. The house amendments to S. B. 118 is to coffee and drink A CLOSE .SHAVE Many of Them' Happening Every Day but Soon Forgotten. Close shaves would be of more fre quent occurrence. but for the tender faces of many men, which will not permit of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said In these col umns about poslam, a new skin dis covery, in connection with its use after shaving. Its publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusively to its remarkable properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures me worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of its minor uses, such, as for pimples, the complexion, etc., shavers will find it a revelation, as it does for abrasions, roughness, and severe scrapings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties heals and cures in a few hours. It Is the only article possessin- real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex ploited for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do. Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggist's, particularly Fred A. Snow's, who makes a specialty of it. Or the Emergency Laboratories, No. 32 West 25 th street. New York city, will send a trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for it. This is sufficient to show results In 24 hours. and S. B. 93 were concurred in by the senate and passed. The former bill was introduced by Senator Lower and related to better' fire protection in school buildings, and the latter bill is designed to give the board of -health authority to prevent the pollution of streams used by cities for water sup Ply. An unfavorable report was submit ted by the elections committee on the bill to remove the judiciary from poli tics and the judiciary committee re ported adversely on the bills authoriz ing county commissioners to designate an official county paper. The judiciary committee reported favorably on the bill making the third violation of the prohibitory lawl a felony subjecting the person convicted to a penitentiary sentence, and the committee on state affairs recommended. the passage of senator uienn s Dili, reimposine upon the city of Lawrence the obligation to pay tne principal or the $100,000 bonds issued in 1878 as a bonus for the location of the state university at that place. A bill of interest to local citizens was that introduced by Senator Ham ilton, whichwas read a second tim un der suspension of the rules.. This billwas prepared by the city attornev and is designed to validate the bonds issued by the electric light company about a year ago for the purpose of raising money to improve the Dlant. It was stated that the act under which these bonds were issued specified that bonds should be issued "not to exceed $65, 000." The courts have held that laws authorizing bond issues must be definite and state the specific amount to be issued. The city attorney desired to remove any question as to the val idity of the bonds jssued in case the point was ever raised that "not to ex ceed" was not sufficiently specific.

This bill was amended while-in the hands of the committee, but It retains the principal features of the original bill.- Senator Cambern obtained consent to use the senate chamber Wednesday night for the public hearine relative to the new bank deposit guaranty law. The banking committees of both houses will be present at the hearine and a number of bankers from various parts or the state offer their views-on the bill. Upon motion of Senator Hunter, the senate invited Prof. Hunter of the Kan sas university to appear before the senate in committee of the whole when the San Jose scale bill is under con sideration. Senator Porter, president pro tem of the senate, was in his seat yesterday when the senate convened. All last week he was confined to his bed with an attack of neuralgia and grip.

Marcella Sembrich has said goodby again this time at a dinner and reception given at the Hotel Astor in honor of her twenty-fifth anniversary as a singer at the Metropolitan opera house and her retirement from the operatic stage in America. She was the guest of New York's composers, musicians, and man agers of musical affairs. Other singers were in the party of 150, but they came incognito, as it- were. Mme. Louise Homer, for instance, appearing with her husband as plain Mrs. Sidney Homer. Ignatz Paderewski sat at the right of Mme. Sembrich and H. K. Trehbiel at her left. The others at that table were Mme. Sembrieh's husband. Dr. Wil helm Stenga-Sembrich. Mrs. Paderew ski, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Damrosch, Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Mahler, and Mrs. H. 11 Krehbiel. Mme.

We are-companions in art, brothers., and sisters in the beautiful world, created by music. On Wednesday Mme. Semb-rich will sail to sing in Berlin. This -will begin a series of farewell appearances in Eur ope. She will go to Lemburg, in Poland, her birthplace, and then to St. Peters burg. CREOSOTE PLANT BURNS The Katy Sustains a Fire Lioss of Nearly $200,000. Greenville, Tex., Feb. 9. Starting from an unknown cause and spread ing so rapidly that there was no chance to save the building, fire early today completely destroyed the Mis souri, Kansas Texas railroad creosoting plant, located four miles from Greenville. The loss, which is estimated at be tween $150,000 and $200,000 includes' 100,000 gallons of creosote oil. L. G. Roots, night engineer of the plant, was overcome by smoke in the engine room and would have perished but for the prompt action by his as sistant, J. N. McDuffin, who rushing through the flames and smoke dragged him to safety. Nearly 200 men, in cluding the crews of the trains wiil be throw-n out of work because of the fire. RAYNER WILL FIND OUT. Wants to Know Whether President or Congress Runs the Country. Washington," Feb. 9. In the near future Mr. Rayner will speak on his resolution declaring the power of the senate to compel the attendance of witnesses by summons and the produc tion of papers by such witnesses wheth er they are in private life or in the em ploy of the government. The purpose of the resolution is to maintain the full power of the senate to call upon the departments for any information it desires in opposition to the view recently expressed by the president concerning the responsibility of executive orncers. Mr. Rayner has been endeavoring to learn why Baltimore has for two months been quarantined in its ship ments of beef to Great Britain and has been refused the correspondence on the subject with the British government.

The mild and '.immediate effect of Swamp-Hoot, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remark able curative' power in the most dis tressing cases.

The reason for. most home baking is a matter of quality rather than expense. Not one housewife in "ten will acknowledge the economy of baking at home; she does it because ordinary baker's bread will not satisfy the family taste. WESTON BREAD at 10c Loaf Is much cheaper than either ordinary baker's or homemade bread. The loaves are larger size, fine grained and substantial, well flavored and good even to the last slice.

"This is at present, a government by departments instead of by congress," said Mr. Rayner today. "Under the di rection of the president the heads of the departments are declining to give any information or to furnish any documents in reference to any matter that the president has directed them to withhold. "The senate now has a number of bills on which its committees are re questing information which they can not obtain. The president has made the point that the departments are not subject to either the senate or the house of representatives or that they can only be reached by an act of con gress. My resolutions propose to main tain the rights of the senate to sum mon witnesses and obtain any informa tion on any subject within its jurisdic tion and over which it can exercise any control."

Surely has there been a happy solution of the bank deposit guaranty proposition which has confronted the legislature. The new bill which has been drawn apparently has the favor of most or the legislators. Many of the prominent bankers and even Balie waggener approve it. Governor Stubbs is pleased with It, and inas- m luch as It will be sure to provide for the guaranteeing of the deposits In the banks the people of the state ought to be satisfied with it.

Herman Robinson, of New York, an organizer of the American Federation Uf Labor, characterizes as absurd the suggestion of the trades councils of Cleveland, O., that the time is ripe to start an agitation for reducing the time of a day's Work in each and ev- ery branch of organized labor to sev- en hours. That, is Just how the pro- position ought to strike most men, whether thev be laborers or employ- ers, although there, cannot be much doubt as to how it will strike thfl lat- I ter class. Presumably the agitators for a seven hour day of labor are of the opinion that such a day's work I

should receive tne same wage that now prevails for the eight hour day. For there would not be much in the way of a gain Tor labor If its pay waslbles: Selling a woman a shoe that is ha mt iinnrti tirnnnrfinTiotoitf -n.ifh I I sive has labor become of late years in mis country, nowever, it is liKely that there would be few men who would be willing to engage the eer- vices of anv E-reat amount nf H If lahorpm wre to hn n.M rr o n IZ I w.e iy now get. unuer sucn conaitions mere wouidn tla. be a chance for much if any profits In many lines of manufactures and in I other activities where large numbers of workers are employed. But aside from the financial cOn- siderations Involved, the agitation is I not likely to succeed because it is not I reasonable.

Holton Recorder. FROM OTHER PENS CONSTRUCTIVE DIPLOMACY. The election of Secretary Root as senator from New York state prac tically brings to an end his service of three years and a half at the head of the state department- In this time he has carried out a constructive dip lomacy, covering nearly every pend ing issue and open- question with for eign countries. Our relations with Spanish Amer ican lands have been put on a wholly new basis. Secretary Root by his voyage around South America and his visits to its leading capitals brought public opinion to a new view through out the continent. He removed prejudice, he Increased cordial regard for the United States, and he opened the way to common action on a wide range of diplomatic subjects. He procured the presence of South American nations in the second Hague conference and removed a ranking grievance created by the fail ure of Russia to invite them to the first conference. Our relations with countries on the Gulf and Caribbean sea, long danger points, have been by these steps brought to an orderly procedure which not only removes current dis putes, but offers the means for set tling all future issues 'in this region. Incidentally, a revolution ln Haiti has been peacefully closed and Cuban foreign issues adjusted. Philadelphia Press. REFORM, DON'T PUNISH. The United States senate had a most interesting debate last week over the provisions of a measure intended to ex tend the parole system to federal pris oners. Senator Hale, -of Maine, was the only strong opponent of the bill,, the kernel of 'which was thus expounded by Senator Nelson, of Wyoming, which state has made a practical test of a similar law. "The modern idea of crim inal legislation is that we impose pun ishment upon criminals and convicts for the purpose of reforming them and ultimately making them better citi zens." Inquisition days have passed. It is not the purpose of the government to make offenders against the law sweat for their crimes, but to make of them better citizens. Why litter our jails and keep them littered with men who might be doing useful work outside the walls? Men who have shown a disposi tion to forsake evil ways should not be compelled to touch elbows indefinitely with men who have not. Give the con vict a chance to show that his reform Is complete, and If it Is not clap him back behind the bars. Pittsburg Post. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Time flies and fly time will soon be on deck again. And most of us are born foolish and never outgrow it. Even opportunity has to await its chance to get even. A, woman who is ambitious to lead usually takes some man in tow. Often a pickpocket puts his foot in it while trying to get his hand in. The- pessimist anticipates the worst, but the optimist makes the best of it. Even if a man is color blind It Is dif ficult to fool him on the long green. It's the henpecked man who crows loudest when he gets away from home. One doesn't acquire a taste for music by listening to the piano next door. There Is such a thing as being too honest. Some young men never even try to steal a kiss. Some people use their religion only on Sunday and keep it in cold storage the rest of the week. It makes a man sore when his wife asks him to explain something to her that he doesn't know anything about.

She will be cut in four sections. each of which wil Ibe put on a lighter with a derrick and brought down the sound and East river, to the foot of Broad street. There everything in her construction will be broken up and sold. There is $25,000 worth of so called junk in the yacht. There are 100 tons of lead, 30 tons of bronze, 25 tons of steel, 20 tons of sails, and 20 tons of miscellaneous materials, in cluding anchors and chains. Mr. Reis has bought nearly a score of famous yachts in a few years. Some he has sent south and sold for tarpon fishing, as told in the World last May, and others whose bones were getting oritue, ne has broken up. In cases where their years have not told on them their size has kept them idle in some shipyard. A cup defender is an expensive play thing because of the large crew re quired to man her. The Vigilant and Colonia were changed into schooners which require less of a crew than a sloop of equal size but neither is as large as the Constitution. The Con stitution measures 98 feet 6 inches on the surface of the water, but from her bow to her stern she is 132 feet long. She has a beam of 25 feet 2 Inches, a draught of 19 feet 7 inches, and has 19 feet of depth. New York World. Cheaper Aluminum. Aluminum may ln a few months be come an Important factor in determin ing the price of copper. Certain devel opments are expected in the aluminum trade next spring, when the patents on the present process of manufacture run out, which will greatly reduce the price of the metal. As aluminum is in many cases a satisfactory substitute for and is becoming a dangerous competi tor of copper, it would follow that if the price of aluminum is reduced there must be corresponding reduction in the price of copper, or else there will be a marked decrease in the consumption of the latter metal. In either event the effect will be shown in the dividends and the price of securities of copper mining companies. During this month the patents on the process under which aluminum is man ufactured will expire. At present one company, the Aluminum Company of America, produces practically the en tire amount of aluminum made in this country. This company, which Is con trolled by the Mellons, of Pittsburg, owns the patents in question, and as their process of production is cheaper than any other, they have had a clear field. Three things may result from the expiration of the patent on their electrical process of manufacturing aluminum: The Aluminum Company of America may be compelled to reduce the selling price of its product so low as to prevent the springing up Of any competitors; competition may arise which will naturally cause a decided decrease in the price; or there may be combination of the aluminum 'and copper people for the purpose of pre venting further increase in the output of aluminum. Boston Transcript. Sturgeon Tackles a Deer. Pursued bv dogs in Agawam. a deer attempted to cross to the Spring field side of the Connecticut river on the thin ice Thursday. The deer broke through the ice and was attacked by a fish 6 feet in length, thought to be sturgeon weighing 250 pounds or more. For a quarter of a mile the deer swam in the Icy water, turning now and then to strike at its tormen tor with its forelegs. When the deer finally clambered up the river bank the fish remained near the shore for several minutes in seeming disappointment that the deer had escaped. The unusual spectacle was witnessed by Park Commissioner Everett H. Barney and John Morrill. After reaching land the deer soon fell from exhaustion. Mr. Morrill pro cured a pint of whisky and poured it down the animal's throat. The deer was so badly disabled that Game Warden James P. Hatch ordered the animal shot.

(By Dorothy Carlton.) "Ma, we ain't got much to be thank ful for, I reckon, but the Lord knows; He knows," remarked Joslah Wayne to his wife, the morning set apart for gratitude for the year's blessings. "We've got each other, 'Siah, and that's a heap," she replied softly. "That's right, Martha, we're spared by God's grace, but will Banker Hali spare us when the mortgage comes due next month?" and he shook his head dubiously. "Deacon Hall is mighty close-fisted, pa, and he likes to get good farms cheap. .If he don't get ours, it will be divine answer to prayers; it'll be a miracle," declared his wife. "The book says the Lord takes care of His children, Martha. We'll put our trust in Him," and the careworn, toil tired farmer rose and went out of the house. "If Mary was only here." sighed Mrs. Wayne, "and seeing as she ain't, it would be powerful comforting to talk about her, but 'Siah is set in his ways. Seemed as if I knew she was happy, I'd be thankful in spite of the mortgage," she said to herself, as she hastily wiped away the starting tears. Ten months before Mary Wayne had eloped with a man who passed three weeks' vacation at the farm the sum mer previous. John Mott had been delighted with the weatherbeaten old farmhouse, and Its surroundings when he first glimps ed it; not that it stirred an artistic soul, but because it recalled gone boy hood days and the home he had left. an orphaned youth, to make a fortune in the metropolis of the west. Almost like a dream come true, he thought, and he lived again the years when he was blood brother to the woods and its people. His finan cial success and business standing in the city were nothing to him in the country. He was just an eager boy, who was restless to go fishing and swimming and club tree limbs for chestnuts. though it was August, all aA. once, and his only discontent was because all his desires could not have simultaneous gratification. Then came Mary. She was away when he first arrived and he had be gun to hunger for companionship of young people when she returned. In candor the girl could not be called beautiful, but there was that in her face to make her good to look upon. Her features were not regular, but the ensemble showed strength of purpose. Painters would not have raved over her eyes, but discerning poets could have found ln their depths that tender sympathy which makes some women akin to angels. She had taught school the term be fore to aid in lifting the blanket of ob ligation that-haunted the old people in the evening of their lives. She was the only child and her one aim was to make their last days com fortable, but the hope seemed far from fulfillment, for her savings were small, the mortgage loomed large, and the banker, a grasping, inexorable Shylock. Still, the year and more that in tervened before the blow would fall might bring many things, so Mary worked and prayed. To Mott the girl was a revelation. He had known girls in the city, but they lived in a world apart from Marv Wayne. Here he found sincerity and frankness that came from the heart. not tne mina. The difference in types appealed to him, charmed first and then held his affections. When he said goodby at the end of his stay he knew he had found the one woman he needed and he hoped to win her. In the autumn she resumed her school duties in a town several miles distant from home, and it became fixed engagement that Mott should spend Sundays with her. She rarely went to the farm at week-ends, the trip involving expenditures she did not reel justified in making. Mott's visits were comforting from the beginning; gradually she realized that they were dear to her in antici pation and memory,' and one Decem ber night she found herself and knew they were necessary to her happiness. Mott s next call was eventful. He was sure of his love for her; because of his uncertainty as to her reciproca tion he experienced unrest and sought to learn nis rate. Mary loved him. and when he proposed, told him so. Then he journeyed to the farmhouse home of his sweetheart's parents. "You may write to any one in the city you know as to my character and aDiiity to care for Mary," he told them "Young man, cities are wicked places." said Farmer Wayne. "Do you believe In God?" he asked abruptly. "Why er of course, Mr. Wayne," he replied, abashed at the text of the query. "Do you belong to a church?" the stern inquisitor continued. vveu, ivr. wuyne, you see l am pretty busy, and I I stammered Mott. "You are not a Christian. You are a money changer in the temple!" tnunaereq tne old man. I know your city ways; you forsake all ratha ex cept those that lead to fortune. You are hypocrites and deceivers!" he snouted in concluding the denuncia tion. "Then I began the young man. "Never see my daughter again, sir. Good by.' "I love her dearly, Mr. Wayne, and she loves me. I'll not promise never to see her again," and he left with a heavy heart. It took many, many days to decide whether to go where her heart led or obey her Puritan parent. In the end love won and in January they were married in Chicago. Farmer Wayne received one letter from his daughter that he read. It announced her marriage. Subsequent missives were returned unopened and he forbade his wife to mention her child's name to him. Thanksgiving day held little cheer for the occupants of the old farm house. There would be Just two lone ly old people at the table, who ex pected soon to be called to an eter nal reward. "I hope Mary Is happy," Mrs. Wayne spoke aloud without thinking. "Don't, ma, don't," cried her hus band. "Why, 'Siah, you're crying," and she ran to soothe him. "Martha, I was wrong. I know it now. Things have changed since we were young and because that young man did not see his duty as I see mine I drove Mary from home. I wish she was here, wife, I wish she was here," and his voice was broken with the grief that was in it. An hour later Mrs. Wayne, glanc ing out of a window, saw two young people descending from a carriage. One was Mary, the other her husband. The old farmer was sleeping on the lounge in the living room, and did not hear the cry of joyous reunion she made, as Mrs. Wayne-ran down the path, to droop weeping in the strong young arms of her daughter. "John would come, mother, and 1 AMUSEMENTS. At the Grand. Tonight Big Arctic Show. Wednesday, matinee and night Bij Arctic Show. Thursday night Big Arctic Show. Friday night "The Right of Way.

"Call him John, mother," said Mary gently. "Mother,." said Mott. "let me be a son to you," and he kissed her wrin kled cheek. "Father's asleep In the sitting room. I'll began Mrs. Wayne, as they en-' tered the house. "No, mother. Come up to my old room. John will see father, and I've something to tell you," and Mrs. Mott led the elder woman upstairs. The farmer wajs awake when Mott entered. "Mr. Wayne, Mary and I have come to ask you ho started. "There, there, boy, let s forget what I said. Times have changed. If Mary could love you I know you are a good man. Make her happy, you'll do that?" and his hand went out to his son-in- law. "I will, sir, I will," fervently Mott replied. A moment later Mary ana her mother came into the room, Mrs. Wayne was crying quietly, aa though her grief was not great. 'Siah. she said. "here3 our Thanksgiving." What, Martha?' he said. "Mary and John have paid the mort gage," and she took the paper from her bosom. Farmer Wayne slipped to his knees. resting his wrinkled forehead on a hand calloused by honest toll: "Dear Lord, we thank Thee," he be gan, and while he spoke with God. the others stood bowed ln reverence. At its conclusion Mary slipped her arms around her husband's neck, and, half turning, said: "Father, you forgot one thing." "Yes, Mary." "To thank Him for sending me the dearest lover-husband in the world." "Aye. Mary girl, and to us n. nnn her father replied. (Copyrighted 1909 oy Associated Press.)

Senator Carey states that the con dition of the plant is not such as to occasion any grave alarm. He de clares that by the expenditure of about t both boilers can be put into oper ation. One of the boners, the senator says, needs a new flue which win cot less than J10, and the other boi'er neeis some brick work patchir.s-. that will cost not more than tC. There is per haps some othtr repairing to be done around the plant. Senator Carey says but conditions bard!y justify throwing the legislature into any commotion cf anxiety. Senator Carey will probabiy make his formal report to th-? senate this after tocs. fniy a few tills were introduced in the senate at the session this after noon, and shortly after convening, the body went into committee of the who'e with Senator Lower in the chair.

NATIONAL TO ENLARGE. The Aetna Building Loan associa tion has purchased the lot on West Seventh street immediately east of the Elk building and will immediately commence the erection of a home for the association. The dimensions of the property are 50 by 70 feet and it is said that JS.500 was paid for the site which is in the heart of the busi ness district of the city. The building will be at least two stories in height'with a basement and if plans which are now on foot ma terialize it will be either six or seven stories in height. The owners of the National hotel property are negotiating with the Aetna Building Loan asso ciation for the erection of a structure of this height, the stories above the second to be used as an annex to the Nstion&l hotel. Since the Copeland hotel burned and even prior to that time there has been a crying demand for more hotel sleep ing capacity in Topeka and a building su;h as is contemplated would give the National hotel a number of excellent rooms. In case the plans of the Aetna Building Loan association and those of the owners of the National property materialize the buildings will be con nected with an alleyway or bridge so that the building to all intents and pur poses will be one. The cost of the new structure will depend greatly on which of the two plans now contemplated are carried out and without any doubt a beautiful j and expensive building will be erected as a home for the Aetna company. At the present time the indications are J that the building will be carried up six j or seven stories in height and connect- i ed with the Xatiocal hotel building.

When informed today of the action of the judiciary committee of the sen ate in amending his anti-drug store bill in such fashion as to deny the granting of liquor permits entirely and the enforcing of absolute and rigid prohibition. Attorney General Jackson said: "Well, that suits me. So much the better. If they prohibit the sale of intoxicants for any purpose or under any circumstances that will make our task of enforcing the law an easy on e. "Without casting any reflection upon the honorable senate judiciary committee, their action calls to mind the stratagem of the opponents of the temperance people in the early days when Kansas was under local option laws. At that time a measure was introduced to further strengthen the local option law. The enemies of that law had an amendment added calling for prohibition. It passed that way and Kansas has had prohibition ever since. "This drug store bill, as it was in troduced, was calculated to strengthen our present anti-liquor laws with all due observance to the constitution, or in other words to prohibit the sale of liquor except for medical and scientific purposes. If they want to bar the sale of liquor in this state for any purpose whatever, it is all right with me."

The committee on elections report ed to the house this afternoon on the election contest of J. Lu Finlay vs. Joeiah Crosby from Cheyenne countv, seating Finlay, Republican and oust ing Crosby. Democrat who Is now a member of the house, having been elected by a majority of eight votes on the face of the returns from the No vember election. The committee found after a can vass of the ballots and investigation of the election that the many charges of corruption made on both sides and allegations regarding casting of ille gal ballots were not well founded. But that the recount of the legal ballots gave Finlay a majority of two votes. A minority report signed by Morri son and Penwell was also turned in recommending that Crosby keep his seat and alleging that the election committee had thrown out legal bal lots for Crosby and further that many illegal votes cast for Finlay had been counted. On motion to aopt the majority re port, having been made, Morrison of Neosho moved as a substitute that the minority report be adopted and talked at length on his substitute motion. The committee on elections is com posed of the following members: Rich of Hamilton, Shoemaker of Sheridan, Guilbert of Logan, Dennis of Gove, Bryden of Osage. Reeder of Donnl- phan. Crumby of Thomas. Case of Dickinson. Penwell of Shawnee. Mor rison of Xeosha. It is expected that the committee will report tomorrow on the Broiller Stout contest from Stevens-Morton district, to unseat Stout. Democrat, and put Broiller In his place. HAS BRILLIANT RECORD. Rev. Russell II. Con wen Who Will Be Here Wednesday. Rev. Russell H. Conwell, the veteran lecturer, will be at the audi torium tomorrow evening. The late Charles A. Dana, a short time before his death was asked by Harper Brothers to write a series of books for An American Biographical Library, and declining he recom mended Russell H. Conwell and among other things he said: "I write the above of my own motion, as I have seldom met Mr. Conwell. but as a writer of biographies he has no superior. Indeed I can say consider ately that he is one of America's greatest men. He never advertises himself, never saves a newspaper clipping concerning "himself, never keeps, a sermon of his own. and will not seek applause. You must go after him if you want him. He will not ap ply to you. His personal history is as fascinating as it is exceptionaL "He took himself as a poor back country lad. created out of the crude material the orator which often com bines a Webster with Gough, and made himself a scholar of the first rank. He created from nothing a pow erful university of high rank in Phila delphia specially for the common people. He created a great and in fluential church out of a small un known parish. He has assisted more men in securing an education than any other American. lie has created a hospital of the first order and extent He has fed the poor and housed large numbers of orphans. He has written many books and ha 3 addressed more people than any other living man. To do this without writing or dictating a line to advertise himself is nothing else than the victory of a great genius He is a gem worth your seeking, valu able anywhere. I say again that I re gard Russell H. Conwell of Philadel phia as America's greatest man in the best form. I can not do your work; he can." STUBBS AND FUNSTON.

The Topeka morning newspaper's regular dramatic critic sidestepped the show and sent an understudv who i-Hi-in- and frankly said so. Last night Mr T?S rePresentative, in the person of manager, Jumped all over the morning newspaper's dramatic critic with large, heavy, hob-nailed, brass-buckled, Rah-Rah shoes. The dramatic critic said little in reply but went away chortling. He now had the longed-for excuse for speaking his mind about Mr. Gilmore, whom he had loved like a brother, and about whom and his ex-wife, he had written much in com mendation and adulation. Hence the morning paper's roast of the show which was really no worse, and as far as the play is concerned, was certain ly much better than anything with which Mr. Gilmore has favored the town for three years. As for the deponent, who is not a dramatic critic at all. but merely the S. R. in disguise, the protection which her sex affords explains her profes sional courage and integrity. It takes a woman to accept passes for herself and her whole family and then be a monster of ingratitude. A man might fear the personal consequences, but a woman is safe. Therefore, be it re peated, although Mr. Gilmore is a jody good fellow, and quite irresistible he has cheapened his art within the past five years, so that he would never be recognized in The Boys of Company B as the promising young man who, about five years ago gave so notable a per formance of the leading role in The Mummy and The Humming Bird. Mr. Gilmore has all the component parts of a good actor and he is still under thirty-five. There is no reason why he can't still make good by the purely legitimate and commendable methods with which he started his career as a star, and before he began trailing off after false god 3 in this case, it would seem the cheapest class of gallery gods.

Amrine's Truancy taw Ruth lessly Slaughtered. THE RAILROAD BILLS. Committee Recommends All Now Before It. Include Changes in the Demur rage Law. The house, in committee of the whole this morning, went through a lot of a dozen unimportant bills like a six cylinder auto through a small village on the Santa Fe trail. An act by Shideler of Crawford pro viding for reports to the state super intendent of public instruction by county and city superintendents was recommended for passage; also the bill by Feder of Barton providing for the removal and care of the remains of deceased soldiers of the civil war. Then four bills were killed in a row with great rapidity as follows: An act by Brighton of Montgomery defining the qualifications of county superinten dents. An act by Amrine relating to the suspension of pupils from public schools. An act by Amrine defining the terms graded and ungraded schools. An act by committee on hy giene to prohibit the free distribution of samples of drugs, medicines, nos trums, ointments or toilet articles. After this slaughter the house re sumed its grind of creating new laws ror tnis devoted state. An act by Morgan of Reno author izing cities to purchase land for pub lie parks. A local bill by Wood of cioua. une senate bill making appro priation of $1,000 for the state poul try association, also similar senate bill appropriating $1,600 for storing and properly displaying records and relics or tne civu war. Act by Westgate granting licenses to ex-soldiers and sailors of the civil and Spanish wars to operate delivery and baggage wag ons. The house committee on railroads had a long session today and got prac tically all of the bills before it out of the way. Every bill was recommend ed favorably for passage or a substi tute was drawn to take its place. Among the bills recommended favor ably or for which substitutes were pre pared are the following: Strengthening the powers of the railroad commission to complete the construction of switches along rights of way where commercial needs re auiro it. Requiring railroads to keep stations open a reasonable time before trains are due and keeping the waiting rooms comfortable. Requiring improved spark arrestors on locomotives. Changing demurrage law so that grain shippers and others handling imperishable stuff cannot take all of the cars ordered for a station. Limit ing the number of cars to three to a shipper when others apply for cars. Requiring Mocks in switches and guard rails for the protection of train men. Making a railroad over which a shipment is started responsible for damages, even though the damage oc curred on some other line. The ship per collects from the company issuing the bill of lading but tne company can collect from the company where the damage occurred. The house will, right it out this afternoon in committee of the whole on the legislative reference library bill by Speaker Dolley. A pleasant interruption of the daily grind in the house came this morning when westcott or uneroKee spied tne silver head and moustache of Cyrus Leland, the sage of Doniphan county, on the floor-and moved that he be fined a barrel of apples for lobbying among the members. Your Uncle Cyrus accepted the fine with a smile of approval. Among the new bills introduced In the house today was the biennial jack rabbit bill, by Dennis of Gove county, which provides for the payment of 5 cents for each rabbit scalp, but an affidavit to the effect that the brute was killed in that county must accom pany the presentation of the scalp to the commissioners. Penwell of Shawnee introduced a Nervous Prostration "I suffered so with Nervous Prostration that I thought there was no use trying to get well. A friend recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself re covering, and am to-day well." MRS. D. I: JONES, 5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O. Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through 'the Veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach di gest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac cording to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money. F1SILY COUGH SYRUP Cures Any Congh in IFve Hours. NEW PHESCRXFTION HF.R.K. Here is given the most effective cough prescription known to the medical world. It is a mild laxative, too, and this is what a body needs when suffering with cough and cold on the lungs. A cough or cold indicates poisons in the system, causing inflammation and congestion. Nearly all cough syrups relieve, but make the trou ble "worse by their constipating effects. This prescription not only relieves quickly, but it cures any cough that is curable. Get one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine com pound. Mix in a bottle. Take for acute cough or bronchitis twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to one teaspoonful three or four times dally. Give children less according to age. A few hours' treatment will cure and heal the throat and lungs of all but consumptives. Cut this out and give it to some friend who may need It to be saved from an early death by consumption.

"Thirty-five automobile owners of this vicinity, met in my office last night, we took up the Harbough bill by sections and wish to suggest the following changes: That all moneys collected for license, by the secretary of state, after deducting the expense of furnishing the license tag. blank, etc., be returned to the counties from which the license money was re ceived and that the moneys so re turned shall apply to the public road fund, each township, in said counties, shall be entitled to their portion, ac cording to the number of automobiles in said township. "When you take Into consideration the large number of automobiles that are now in use, in this state, and the many thousands that will be sold within the next two or three years, the license fund that will ac cumulate with the secretary of the state will be very large and it should not be the purpose of the state to make this department a source of revenue. Therefore if the amount named in the bill as a license fee, becomes a law, the owners- of automobiles, who pay the license, would seriously object to the amount they are compelled to pay, if it is not returned to the several counties, to be used in improving the roads. We wish you to mako a spec ial light for this particular amend ment of the bill. "We, also, object to that portion of section 4, that requires the number of the car to be displayed upon both front and rear and on the lamps of the cars. We believe that the num ber on the rear of the machine where the tail light can be thrown on it, is all that is required to identify the number ot the car, in daylight or at night. To display the number on the front of the car would be of no spec ial advantage, in the event of the car passing. 5,000 Autos in State. "There are now, as near as we can estimate, between 4,000 and 5,000 motor vehiclees in use on the public highways of this state and the prac ticability and usefulness of these motors in facilitating travel is a great improvemnt over former means of transportation. Rules of the Road. "Our next objection is to part of sec tion 14, which, according to the bill, as now written, towit: "Any person operating a motor vehicle shall, at re quest, or signal by putting up of the hand from the person riding, leading or driving a horse or horses or other domestic animals, guide such motor vehicle to the right of the wrought or traveled portion of the highway and immediately bring such motor ve hicles to a stop and if requested shall cause the motor of such vehicle to cease running." We object to this par agraph on the ground that It is be coming the practice of some people on the highway, to hold up their hand and stop a car, merely for the purpose of inconveniencing the operator. There fore, we suggest that any person driv ing a horse or team that is afraid of an automobile, that the driver shall, upon approach of an automobile, drive his team to one side of the road and then give notice to the automobile driver, by holding up his hand, that his team is not safe and wish the automobile to come to a stand still until he can pass. We believe that this effort, on the part of the driver of the team, an evidence of his good faith in wishing the auto mobile to stop, but, under the present wording of the bill, if the drivers of the team were inclined to abuse the privilege of stopping an automobile, at will, they could cause the operator of the automobile an immense amount of trouble and delay. Therefore, this section should be carefully worded witn tne view of protecting both par ties against unnecessary delay or dan ger of an accident. Object to One Sided Legislation. "This bill must not be one sided. There should be just as much responsibility attached to the driver of the team as to the operator of the automobile. Past usage of the highway should not cut any figure in the matter. Modern busi ness methods of transportation de mands the use of the motor car, it has come to stay and it is not unreas onable to suggest that within the next three or four years more than 50 per cent of the transportation of persons on our public highway will be per formed by the motor car. Therefore, the owners of teams should be com pelled to accommodate themselves to these changing conditions. "In section 19, line 3, we desire that the words "use and" be stricken out and read as follows: The cities of the second and third class of this state, shall have power, by local ordinance, to regulate and control the speed of motor vehicles within the limits of said cities, etc. "Our reason for this is, that with the present reading of this section, the cities could add an additional license fee for operating the automobile with in their limit, nnri tn.n fldfllncr ol- tional burden of expense and cost to the owner of automobiles to simply increase the city's revenue. This Is not just and should not be permitted, as, under this bill, if it becomes a law, the cost of obtaining a license from the state is sufficient. It serves all the purposes of identifying the car and its owner, which is the real object of the law. Therefore, cities should not be permitted to place an additional bur den upon the owners of motor vehicles as the plan of identification, by the state, is sufficient to meet all require ments. Many Farmers Now Own Machines. "Up to the last few years, the owner ship of motor vehicles was confined. exclusively,' to the residents of towns and cities and was considered rather an extravagant luxury but now things have changed. Any man in business, who values his time and has much traveling to do, now uses an automo bile, greatly to his advantage. "The farmer, living only a few miles from town, finds they are a great ad vantage in saving time and expense in his movement about the country and, especially, the farmer who lives 15 to 25 miles from his county seat or his main trading point, finds, that with his automobile he is able to go 18 to 20 miles to his county seat, do his trading and return home In three or four hours and is not the least tired by his trip. Formerly, it was a hard drive with a team, requiring all day, returning at night, tired and worn out, but now it is a pleasure to make these trips and it is one of the features that is making life more attractive to the folks on the farm. "Fully nine-tenths of my present sale of motor cars is to the agricul tural classes. The automobile is no more considered a fad and an expen sive luxury but, on the contrary, it is taking its place as one of the necessi ties of this progressive age. Therefore, the necessity- of the passage or a broadgauge, unprejudicial law that will be absolutely fair to all users of the public roads and highways of the state. "We hope you will take a special interest in the reconstruction of this bill and devote your energies to its passage in both the house and senate." NONE CAME TO WORK. Hat Factories Opened to Applications of Striking Employes. Danbury, Conn., Feb. 9. The hat factories in this city, which had been closed during the greater part of the time since the strike of the United Hatters in defense of the union label was declared, were opened today to receive applications for employment from individuals, but it was not report ed that any applications were received from members of the unions at any of the twenty factories involved in the strike. The finishers, of whom there are about- one thousand on strike, assem bled at their former places of employ ment, packed up their tools and marched out. AMUSEMENTS. At the Grand. With three little Eskimo papooses trail ing along with him, Antony Gorman, the manager of the Eskimo troupe which opens at the Grand tonight, visited many of the public schools Monday afternoon. The appearance of the little northerners aroused the pupils to a hlgrh pitch of curiosity ana a great oeai or inieresi m these little people will be shown by the school children. The Eskimos open at the Grand tonieht and will remain here three days. A children's matinee will be given wcanesaay atternoon. Eusrene W. Presbrey's dramatization of Sir Gilbert Parker's novel "The Right of Way" will pay a visit to the Grand Friday and Saturday with a Saturday matinee. It is one of those big gripping plays that make one forget for the time being that he is in the theater. But it is a play that reuuires actors of brain and of a per son il magnetism that can sway an au dience with each varying- movement they are called upon to interpret. Klaw Erlanger have provided these actors par ticularly in the nersons of Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts. Each man. in his own special way dominates the big scenes of the play and there are. a constant suc cession of them. "fTomlner Throusrh the Rve." one of the popular musical comedies, will be back to the Grand next Tuesday after an absence of a couple of years. There are seventy five people employed in the production, composed largely of singers and dancers so it is saia. At the Majestic. The Raymond Wells Stock company scores a distinct hit with the Austrian drama, "The Devil." which is the bill of the company for the early part of the week. Raymond Wells ia a clever actor and fits the part well. "The Devil" as played by the Raymond Wells Stock com pany is nearly the same as that produced bv the Savage companies. There is some thing about the Wells company that dis tinguishes it from the hackneyed stock companies. The supporting company is good, tne stage settings are great, in raci the scenery is far above that seen in many shows for which a $1.60 seat scale is charged. In many respects the Wells pro duction Is as good as the Savage troupe seen here earlier in the season. Marion Lord as "Mimi." an artist's model, is a clever actress. Ben H. Roberts, who plays the role of the artist is a strong player. Nan Ryan, Olga Hoffman and William Blasky who have the leading roles are good actors. At the Novelty. The Noveltv theater has never offered a better bill than that for this week. At both performances last night the house was filled to its capacity and the program kept the audience laughing and applaud ing tnrougnout me snow, ine oxg mc ui tho bill are the Ten Kountrv Kids. In a musical sketch, "The Village Queen," com posed of the songs, dances ana games ot children. There are twelve persons in the cast and the act Is snappy and enter taining from beginning to end. Among the Erincipal songs are "Games of Childhood ays" and "Irene Plays the Acordeen." In addition to this big number there are some particularly entertaining features. Espe, Dutton Espe have the most amaz ing and entertaining acrobatic turn that has been seen at the Novelty and the com edian with the trio is good for a laugh every thirty seconds. Winfield Douglas and the Moscrop sisters dance skilfully and sing popular and comic songs, and Askeland. the Swedish violinist, plays de lightful music on a $2,000 violin. Karl Hummell appeared for the first time since his Illness last week, singing the illustrat ed song, "Take Me Back to the Ball Game," and the vlascope showed some in teresting motion pictures. i Sideache, Headache, and a f Worn-out Feeling May all come from Constipation. Lane's Family Medicine (called also Lane's Tea) is a herb Tonic-Laxative and will cure constipation and the ills that come from it. It is a great blood medicine and one of the best for all stomach, kidney and bowel j complaints. 4 All druggists, 25 and 50 cts. i POLICEJOTTINGS. Two Men TVho Got Into Jail Or er Dollar. Attempted to Short Change a Bnsiness Men. SMALL BO YS ARRESTED Tried Their Hand at a Youthful hiteeapping. Echo of Eecent Bald on the Auto ists. For trying to work Mr. Oscar Krause In the North side harness and leather store of Krause Son in a little changing game, two never-work-at-anything-but-always-somebody H C King and W. D. Stanley are spending the cold weather in the city prison and very likely are to be congratulated on their luck. Representing themselves to be work ers on the dike these two men went into tne store ana asked for a snan a harness snap. They were shown one and to pay for it one of the men threw a two dollar bill on the counter. One aoiiar and SK cents In chanere wa nan. ed back when the purchaser found he naa a nickel in his pocket and draw ing the dollar toward him asked for another dollar in place of the change. When the other dollar was thrown on the counter, be wanted his two dollar bill back and in return for it nushed over the change and the dollar just laid "own, Keeping tne nrst dollar and get ting the bill also. They had gone, but Krause thought something was oiieer about that changing and- found he was out $1 and a harness, snap. Running out ne saw patrolman, walker and told him to arrest the fellows who had not yet disappeared. They were taken to the station for Investigation and brought before the judge, struck up the familiar tune in lopeka or late, rve been workin' on the levee," bt just like others It was found they had not and as a conse quence they are still in the prison. It nas become the custom with the vag rants and others picked up to make their defense upon the ground that they have come here to work on the dike or that they have been working on the dike. In a Very few instances only have the .dike., contractors ever heard of the men but; every tramp who comes to the city, knows of the dike and uses it as a blind, These two men who said they were working on the dike were carrying a nunarea or more, envelopes Inscribed to "help the poor and paralyzed," which they are supposed to have used at times when their speech failed them. Warrants are issued for the arrest of a gang of small boys who Individual ly are harmless" but who when ihey gang' up work havoc, on any object of their wrath. The boys are David Dixon, Fred Jamison, "Swede" Osten, Joe Rooks and Dave JJoWe. The' complaint was made- by S. J. Wilson, a boy who, as1 he was standing in front; of the -"Grand opera house where a spiritual meeting' was in prog ress Sunday nigljt, 'sustained injuries at the hands of thA.ooys. The gang had some grudge against Wilson and asked Lowe who was a stranger to the others if he did not want to take a good crack at that" fellow and even though he did not know who he was and had not seen the color of his eyes, he slipped uD nearer and struck him a mighty blow behind the ear. Wilson fled and the whole gang followed, ad ministering a good thrashing. Wilson spotted Lowe and had him arrested last evening but the remainder of the warrants were filled out this morning. It is quite likely that the boys are all under the age limit of sixteen years for the police court and great sympa thy should be extended the officer who must walk to the various ends of the town on a day like this to serve the warrants. The echo of last week's rampage on the merry automobiles has sounded at the station and Dr. W. F. Bowen who was wanted but had gone out of the city last week -has now returned and notified to come around and see the police Judge. The doctor in hurry ing from place to place has been seen a number of times and fined in court but the machine has caught the habit and $5 hypodermics have failed to counteract the fever. There are other doctors who drive faster than Bowen but the police seem to be suffering from strabismus, so far as they are concerned. Aren't Dr. Bowen's calls as urgent as the others? Joseph Sheridan and Jess McCoy, young men who know not the pain of manual labor but who nevertheless go into an awful fret trying to think of some excuse to give the judge for their vagrancy, have been placed on the rock reducing plant. They were found at the Rock Island depot last night at 1 o'clock by Patrol man Wonderly and brought to the sta tion. One claimed to have had money to get a bed but he did not show any symptoms of so doing when found and the other couldn't think, of anything as good so the judge awarded them five days each on the rocks where by dili gent pecking they will be able to keep warm and have a meal now and then. Leniency Is usually extended educa tional institutions but the Barber col lege has been fined a three dollar bill. A. H. TIcer was found guilty of throw ing refuse of the shop out into the street to the winds and weather of lower Kansas avenue. He claimed he was not guilty, and $3 is a lot of money for a college to raise, but things are things and the ordinance is one of them. An Imported printer from Kansas City. Frank Jenks. brought the Iv. U. spirit with him to Topeka when he got his job with the State Printery and had to be dragged to the prison last night overloaded and exuberant. Jenks could not pay his fine but thinks, hia boss will fix Itup be Tore rugnt. FOUNiTdEAD 1NBED. Fatlier-ln-Law of Woman Held for Murder of His Son. Rochester, N. T.v; Feb. 9.

GODDARD 3 lot her of Lato Principal of Garfield School Passes Away. Mrs. Mary C. Goddard, whose daughter. Miss Carrie Goddard, died on Sunday, passed away this morning at 2:30 o'clock. She was the mother of Mrs. Frank P. MacLennan, at whose home she has been seriously ill for several weeks. The funeral of both Mrs. Goddard and Miss Carrie God dard will be held at No. 1019 Topeka avenue at the same time, 2:30 o'clock "Wednesday afternoon. Burial at" To peka cemetery. Mother and daughter had been very close to each other. They lived to gether at the Virginia, were at their meals together at the Wlntrode. One looked after the little household, the other her duties and- income from the echooL They were almost inseparable. One had learned to lean upon the other. Their church was the same, their in terests and inclinations alike, one help trig the other. They spent their days together, they died together, will have the same funeral, and will be buried together. Mrs. Goddard was a remarkable wo man and worthy in every respect: her early life in Kansas was unusual. She was a real pioneer, coming to the state by long Journey, by boat on the Mis souri river to Westport, thence by wagon train into Kansas, which was then a territory and-the name spelled with a When Mary Sewell first saw sunny Kansas she was a mere child of eleven years, coming In 1849 from the far oft state of Indiana to the Marais do Cygnes, the sunflower land of romance, patriotism, and John Brown. After this first visit to her sister, Mrs. Ingram Baker, she returned to the east, coming back in 1S57 to this west ern country, settling with her parents in the Neosho valley near Council Grove. Toward the end of the year she was married to a young pioneer of whom she had known much that was favorable. He was Elisha Goddard, who- afterwards took a prominent part In the late affairs of the territory and the early affairs of the state. Three children were born; Carrie, Anna and George. The first passed away on Sunday, Anna is the wife of Prank P. MacLennan. and George is a yardmaster of the Santa Fe at Ar- fentine, but at present lying at the anta Fe hospital, from .a window of which he can see the sad funeral pro cession which carries the bodies of his mother and sister to their last resting place. The Goddards removed to lAmericus in Lyon county, and later, in 1871, after the death of the head of the faimly, to Emporia. Later the fam ily, excepting George, came to Topeka. Few there be now who saw Kansas 6ixty years ago and followed her growth and progress from the Indian and Buf falo lands of old to the prosperous commonwealth of today; but thi is what Mary Sewell Goddard saw and a great part of which she was.

Long Telegram Sent to Speaker of the House. IT CAtf DO ISO GOOD. Says Pending Legislation Will Only Make Mischief. Federal Government Will' Take Care of the Situation. Washington, Feb. 9. President Roosevelt in a long telegram to Speaker P. A. Stanton, of the Califor nia assembly, set forth the govern ment's view of the anti- Japanese school legislation now before that body. The telegram was pent only af ter a conference with Senator Flint and Representative Kahn of Califor nia, and F. K. Lane" of the Interstate Commerce commission. To Speaker Stanton, the president sent the follow ing: "I trust there will be no-misunder standing of the federal government's attitude. We are zealously endeavor ing to guard the interest of California and of the entire west in accordance with the desires of our western people By friendly agreement with Japan we are now carrying out a policy which, while meeting the interests and desires of the Pacific slope is yet compatible not merely with the mutual respect, but with the' mutual esteem and ad miration the Americans and Japanese The Japanese government is loyal ly and in good faith doing its part to carry out this policy, precisely as the American government is doing. The policy aims at mutuality in obliga tion and behavior. 'In accordance with It the purpose is that the Japanese shall come here exactly as Americans go to Japan, which is. in effect, that travelers, stu dents, persons engaged in internatlon al business, men who sojourn for pleasure or study, and the like, shall have the freest access from one conn try to the other, and shall be sure of the best treatment., but that there shall be no settlement in mass, by the people of either country in the. other. More Go Than Come. 'During the last six months under this policy more Japanese have left the country than have come in, and the total number In the United States has diminished by over two thousand These figures are absolutely accurate and cannot be impeached. In other words, if the present policy is consist ently followed and works as well in the future as it is now working, all difficulties and causes of friction will disappear, while at the same time each nation will retain its self respect and the good will of the other. But such a bill as this school bill accomplishes literally nothing whatever in the line of object aimed at and gives Just and grave cause for irritation; while in addition the United States government would be obliged to take action In the federal courts to test such legislation as we hold it to be clearly a violation of a treaty. "On this principle I refer you to the numerous decisions of the United States supreme court in regard to state laws which violate treaty obligations of the United States. Policies Compared. "The legislation wuold accomplish noth ing beneficial and would certainly cause some mischief and might cause very grave mischief. In short, the policy of the administration Is to combine the maxi mum of efficiency In achieving the real object which the people of the Pacific slope have at heart, with the minimum of friction and trouble while the mis guided men who advocate such action as this against which I protest are following a policy which combines the very mini mum of efficiency with the maximum of insult and which while totally failing to achieve any real result for good yet might accomplish an infinity of .harm. "If. in the next year or two, the action of the federal government fails to achieve what it is now achieving, then, through the further action of the presi dent and congress it can be made entire ly efficient. I am sure that the sound judgment of the people of California will support you, Mr. Speaker, in your efforts. Let me repeat that at present we are ac tually doing the very thing which the people or tjaurornia wisn to oe done, ana to upset the arrangement may do harm. If, in the next year or two, the figures of immigration prove that the arrangement which has worked bo successfully during the last six months is no longer working successfully, then there would be ground for grievance, and for the reversal by the national government of its present policy. But at present the policy is working well and until it works badly it would be a grave misfortune to change it and when changed it can only be changed effective ly by the national government. (Signed.) "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." GIVE IT TO PRICE RAID. Suggestion About the Disposition That Civil War Money. of Quenemo. Kan., Feb. 8. 1909. To the Editor of the State Journal: Give the Price 'raid militiamen the $425,000 due Kansas. The Kansas state militiamen -of 1864 who saved the state from devastation and desola tion have been asking pensions and re ceiving promises for the last twelve years. Most of them are already dead. If congress cannot give the few survivors pensions. I believe they cannot do a nobler act than to add enough to the above figures to make a million dollars and pay to them in ten quarterly pay ments. During that memorable struggle they numbered 15,000; one-half of whom were discharged soldiers who had served three years in the regular army. A painstaking enumeration of the survivors recently taken shows that there are only 2,000 including 800 widows of survivors. After 44 years waiting, why" not make these 2,000 the beneficiaries? It has been estimated that the prompt patriotic action of these men not only saved Kansas, but saved the nation $100,000,000. At that time the army and navy cost $1,000,000 a day. How many favor this? JABEZ ADAMS. Battleship Costs $109,856 a Year. Washington, Feb. 9.-Responding to a resolution introduced by Senator Clay, a report was sent to the senate by Sec retary of the Navy Newberry saying that it costs $109,856 to keep a first class battleship In repair and good con dition for one year. This figure does not include extraordinary repairs inci dent to taking a ship out of commis sion, remodeling or reconstructing it. "Vou're lookin' fine. Weary. Ain't von cold?" "Nope.

Given a sufficient foundation of ma terial well beiner. the influence of the farmers and farmers wives on their children becomes the factor of first importance in determining the at titude of the next generation toward farm life. The farmer should realize that the person who most needs con sideration on the farm is his wife. I do not in the least mean that she should purchase ease at the expense of duty. Neither man nor woman Is really happy or really useful save on condition of doing his or her duty.- If the woman shirks her duty as house wife, as home keeper, as the mother whose prime function it is to bear and rear a sufficient number, of healthy children, then she is not en titled to our regard. But if she does her duty she is more entitled to our regard even than the man who does his duty; and the man should show special consideration for her needs. I warn my countrymen that the great recent progress made in city life is not a full measure of our I civiliza tion; for our civilization rests at bot tom on the wholesomeness, the at tractiveness, and the completeness, as well as the prosperity. of life in the country. The men and women on the farms stand for what is fundamentally best and most needed in our American life. Upon the development of coun try life rests ultimately our ability, by methods of farming requiring tne highest Intelligence, to continue to feed and clothe the hungry nations; to supply the city with fresh blood, clean bodies, and clear brains that can en dure the terHfic strain of modern life; we need the development of men in the open country, who will be in the future, as in the past, the stay and strength of the nation in time of war, and its guiding and controlling spirit in time of peace. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The White House, Feb.' 9,. 1909. WHAT It FOU.NP. Summary of Report of Country Life Commission. Washington, Feb. 9. Following is a summary of the report--of the com mission on country life submitted to congress by the president today; The report of the commission de scribes with some fulness the exist- ng .conditions of farm life arid points out the causes that may have led to its present lack of organization. It suggests methods for the redirection of rural society, for arresting the drift to the city, for maintaining the nat ural rights of the farmer and for the development of an organized rural life that win promote the prosperity of the whole nation." Broadly speaking, agriculture In the United States is prosperous and the conditions in many of the great farm ing regions are improving. Country homes generally are improving in comfort, attractiveness, and healthfuK ness. Many institutions, organizations and movements are actively contrib uting to the increasing welfare of the open country. There has -never been a time when the American farmer was as well off as he is today, when not only his earning power but the comforts and advantages he may secure are consid ered. There has been a complete and fundamental change in our whole ec onomic system within the past cen tury. Yet it is true, notwithstanding all this progress as measured by historical standards, that agriculture is not com mercially as profitable as it is entitled to be for the labor and energy that the farmer expends and the risks that he assumes, and that the social conditions in the open country are far short of their possibilities. Rural society is lacking chiefly in a knowledge on the part of the farmers of the exact agricultural conditions and possibilities of their regions, re sulting in the widespread depletion of soils with the injurious effect on rural life; in proper training for the country life in the schools; in good highway facilities, and in organization for buy ing and selling. There is an absence of any adequate system of agricultural credit, a short age of labor, often complicated by in temperance among workingmen; a lack of institutions and" incentives that tie the laboring man to the soil; the life of the farm woman la burdensome and narrow; there is need of adequate su pervision of public health. Farmer Is Handicapped. The farmer is handicapped by the speculative holding of lands, monopo listic control of streams and forests, waste of our natural resources, and by restraint of trade. Some of the remedies for the con ditions set forth lie with the national government, some of them with the states and communities in their cor porate capacities, some with voluntary organizations, and some With indi viduals acting alone. All organized forces both in. town and country should understand that there are country phases as well as city phases of our civilization, and that one phase needs help as much as the other. All these agencies should real ize their responsibility to society. Many existing organizations and insti tutions might become practically ,co. operative or mutual in spirit, as for example, all agricultural societies, libraries, Young Men's Christian asso ciations, and churches. All the or ganizations standing for rural progress should be federated in states and na tion. There are several great forces, or principles, which must be utilized in the endeavor to solve the country life question. There must be a vast enlargement of voluntary, organized effort among farmers themselves. It is indispensa ble that farmers shall work together for their common interests and for the national welfare. If they do not do this, no governmental activity, no leg islation, not even better schools, will greatly avail. The. forces and institu tions that make for morality and spiritual ideals among, rural people must be energized. There must be not only -a fuller scheme of public reducation, but a. new kind of education adapted to the real needs of the farming people. The country schools are to be so re directed that they shall educate their pupils in -terms of the daily- life. Opportunities for training toward the agricultural callings are to be multi plied and made broadly effective. This means redoubled .efforts for bet ter country schools, and a vastly in creased interest in the welfare of country boys and girls on the part of those who pay the school taxes. Education by means of "agriculture is to be a part of our regular public school work. Special agricultural schools are to be organized. The country people everywhere are asking for good roads. Everywhere too they want a parcels post and the extension of the rural free delivery. Strike Closes a Smelter. Torreon, Mexico. Feb. 9.

Cranston's Garnishment Bill Is Finally Recommended. He Succeeds in Having It Again Considered. FOR THE LITTLE ONES. Free Kindergartens May Be Es tablished in Kansas. Uniform Course of Study Is Also Recommended. The house worked eight hours mon aay, an that the union requires, and passed twenty-one bills on roll call vote, and then resolved itself into com mittee of the whole and recommended five other bills for passage. The Cranston bill for the protection of debtors which was lost in the morn ing for lack of a constitutional majority even after a call of the house had been made, was called up again in the even ing when more members were present and passed. The Kuoni bill providing ior tne placing of telephone poles in the streets and highways was regarded by the house as a Bell Telephone company measure and w&s killed. The bill by Allen to enable cities of the first class to refund their' indebted ness was recommended for passage as was also the Banker bill which au thorizes the establishment of free kin dergartens In the public schools. Ryan of Brown was 'opposed to the kiddies being given a chance to learn the little arts and accomplishments of the kin dergarten, but Brown of Kingman, al ways a man of sentiment, spoke earn estly for the need of placing this pleas ant work in the hands of the little folks. Another school measure by Amrine was killed in committee of the whole. This one authorized school boards to make long time contracts' with teach ers. The committee of the whole also took favorable action on the following bill by Banker of Russell: That there shall be provided three courses of instruction in county high schools, each requiring four years in length, namely, a general course, a nor mal course, and a college preparatory course. The general course shall be designed for those who cannot continue, school life after leaving said high school. The normal course shall be de signed for those who intend to become teachers, and shall fully prepare any who wish to enter the first year of pro fessional work at the State: Normal school. The college preparatory course shall fully prepare those who wish to enter the freshman" class of the college of liberal arts and sciences of the State university, or of the State Agricultural college, or Of any other institution of higher learning in this state. .When ever practicable, students in these courses shall recite' In the same classes, students in the last year of the normsfl course mav- be employed for a portion of their time In teaching the pupils ot the first year Irt 'any course, ana moder schools shall be encouraged. In all county high- schools of the state the elements of agriculture shall be taught, and In all, such high schools employing three ror, more teachers manual trainine- and either domestic art or domestic science shall be. taught Bills in the House.

"The Mimic Wor.ld," one of the big gest and most elaborate of -the Shu bert shows, will be at the Grand for one performance Thursday, February 18. J. B. Reynolds, general manager of the Shubert attractions, was in To peka today making arrangements for the engagement which will be, with the exception of Madame Nazimova's appearance here earlier in the season, undoubtedly the most important the atrical event of the season. "The Mimic World" company includes eighty-seven high class people, the bright particular star of the aggrega tion being Miss Gertrude Hoffmann of Salome dance fame. Miss Hoffmann does the classic Dance of the Seven Veils and the Spring Song dance in which she is assisted by eight girls, and has achieved an enormous success sec ond only, if at all, to Miss Isadora Duncan's. "The Mimic World" had a long run in New York and Chicago and returns to Chicago for six weeks later in the season. With the exception of Lew Fields' "Girl Behind the Counter," it has the best looking and best dressed chorus on the state this season. Divorced From 5,OOO,O0O. Chicago, Feb. 9. Mrs. Ruth May Swift Eversz, who was left a fortune of $5,000,000 by her father the late Gustavus Swift, was granted a divorce from her husband, Ernest H Eversz, by Judge Gibbons today. The charge against Mr. Eversz was des-ertion, al though incompatibility of temper given by Eversz as the real cause. is Labor in India. "Official estimates show that the Hin du earned 4 cents a day in 1850; 3 cents a day in 1882, and in 1900, after English rule had been given nearly a generation in which to prove its inestimable ad vantage, less than 2 cents.- The truth is, nobody save an English" official ill the India service can even glance at the government's own statements about the peninsula without scenting the farce in the London Times boast about "half a century of unselfish toll" which has brought Into being the new and pul sating life of India." Not all the out ward signs of economics, the railroads, street lamps, municipal buildings, and schools can hide the fact that these im provements have been made as invest ments, and that, on the whole, they have profited the stranger far more than the hungry millions whose taxes have created them.

The declaration of th? manager was not rendered competent by reason of his being the defendant's- age.nt, for it wasj a mere narration or a past transaction, not relating to, explaining or character izing any act in which he was then en gaged: and the circumstances do not in dicate that it was such a spontaneous ex clamation made under the stress or nerv ous excitement, that its truth could be presumed without being sworn to.

Any discrimination In charges on the part of a common carrier is unjust for which ho Sufficient reason exists in the character of the service. 3.

A shipper has a'right to demand that the rates charged: him shall not only be reasonable In themeelves. In respect to the profit to the carrier, but reasonable in respect to the charges made for similar services tinder similar circumstances to other shippers who are or who may be his business competitors. 5. Where a tariff of a railroad company fixes a rate on shipments originating on Its own line or on certain enumerated connecting lines, rt assumes the obligation to carry at that rate. for shippers whose shipments originated on other lines as well, and if such a shipper is required to pftv for siicn services at a. higher rate than that named in the tariff, he is en titled to recover tha amount of over charge. 6..

Brought to Light by Celebration of Lincoln W eek at Chicago. Chicago. Feb'. 9. Lincoln week celebration here is bringing to light anecdotes and glimpses of the great emancipator's character which are said never before to have been made public. Attorney Charles G. Xeely tells a story w hich he says was given to him by O. V. Wall of Mulberry Grove, 111. "Wall." says Mr. Neely, "enlisted early in the war and while at the front wrote letters to his sweetheart. Eliza beth Jones, who also lived in Mulberry Grove. There was another Klizabeth Jones in this town, and, according to Mr. Wall, the Elizabeth Jones to whom lie was not engaged got all the other Elizabeth's letters. "This was rather embarrassing to the soldier boy and he tried by every means to get the letters to the proper gill. He' even put her father's name on the envelopes with the girl's, but till the wrong Elizabeth read the right Elizabeth's letters. "Finally the exasperated boy resolved to complain. He sat on a bullet rid dled log near the battle line and. after much pondering, resolved to write to the president himself explaining the difficulty. "By the next mail the president's reply came, couched in terms some what as fololws: 'I am very sorry. Whom do you want for postmaster at Mulberry Grove, Bond county, Illinois? A. lSn coln.' "To this the soldier-lover responded, recommending a crippled cobbler. "Within a few days the change took place, the mail was delivered to the right Elizabeth Jones, and by his warm hearted action Abraham Lincoln play ed a great factor in the Jones-Wall wedding which took place soon after the war." The tailor who made Lincoln's in augural suit of clothes the garments Jn which he took the oath of office has been found in Chicago. He is Daniel Roth. "In 1861 I had charge of the estab lishment of A. T. Titsworth." said Mr. ltoth. "One day. in February, 1861. the whole force was surprised to see a man of almost gigantic stature enter the shop. Mr. Titsworth rushed forward to meet him, saying. 'Well, liave you come to be measured, Mr. Lincoln?' and then we all knew that the future president was among us. "There was a lot of flurry in that shop for the next three-quarters of an hour, although Lincoln took no part in it. He had come to negotiate for a euit. one of those swallow-tailed gar ments which all citizens then wore under high hats when on parade. The goods was finally chosen from a bolt of black broadcloth, the price to be about $75 or $80. "All the time he was there he kept tip a running fire of conversation. When it was all finished he impressed on Mr. Titsworth the importance of having the suit ready in time, wished U3 a pleasant goodbye and passed out." First Japanese to Ask Aid. Chicago. Feb. 9. K. R. Saitow, said to bo the first Japanese to appeal for alms in the history of the police de partment here, appeared at a police station last night and asked for shelter from the rain. I arrived in the city only today and I'm tired looking for work." he said. "It is unusual for one of my race to ask for assistance of any kind in this land." FIRE LOSS $300,000. Many Xarrow Eswpes by Occupants of Buildings. Norwich. Conn., Feb. 9. Fire here early today resulted in the destruction of the Shannon building, the burning out of the upper stories of the Chelsea bank building and the Reid Hughes store. The Plant Cad den building also was damaged. The loss is. estimated at $300,000. The upper floors of the Shannon building contained apartments and the rescue of many of the occupants was attended with spectacular fea tures. Prof. Lowth was taken from a window of his room on the third floor, Dr. Louise Miner was found asleep in her room, awakened and carried down a ladder to the street. Others were rescued in the same manner. Many others escaped unaided. NEW NATIONAL PARK. One of 1,300 Square Miles Proposed for Montana. Washington. Feb. 9. The house com mittee on onhHc land ha anthnrifaj a favorable report on a bill creating Glacier National park in Northwest iHontana. The hill rrrvir?Ac fY.r- thn cat ,1 of 1.300 square miles of mountainous country, some 01 it iu.uuo ieet above the sea. containing 250 lakes and over 60 glaciers. In these regions. Senator Boise Penrose and his brother. Dr. Charles Penrose, had a thrilling bear fight a year ago. and as an additional attraction, it is contended that it con tains the only glaciers in the United States outside of Alaska. The claim is disputed, however, on behalf of Colorado. BURNED IN BUNKS. "It is good for us to be here. Matt. xvii. 4. When Senator Travis "broueht his affinity bill to the legislature, he had little thought that it would be the means of discovering a neighbor of his childhood days. The 'affinity" bill made Travis politically famous, and stories about the measure were pub lished all over the land. And then. dne day, while Senator Fred Robertson was discussing the bill -with the author. he said: "When I was back none, a vear or so ago. I witnessed a little in dication of what some people think of affinities.' By chance. I witnessed tne horse whippins of Ferdinand Penny Earle. the artist, who had sidetracked his wife to live with an affinity." 'That was in Orange county, New Tork." observed Senator Travis. Do you mean to say that is your home? cherry; California red. wood; Massa chusetts chestnut and elm; Montana pine, larchwood, and pine and larch formed in one sample; Mississippi,, red gum; -Missouri and Arkansas, oak; Ok lahoma, walnut, and the District of Col umbia, historic wood from the navy yard at Washington. KISSES EXCHANGED. Cordial Meeting Between King Ed ward and Ills IUj al Nephew. Three Members of Ferry Steamer Crew Lose Their Lives. Norfolk, Va., Feb. 9. The ferry steamer running between Willoughsby Spit and Old Point Comfort was burned at her Willoughsby pier early today. Three of her crew were burned to death in their bunks. The pier also was destroyed. What! From Orange County? "Even so," replied the Democrat sen ator with the hair. "Such is also the case" with me." said Travis. "I was born in Orange county. New Tork, and it is a mighty good place, too. After bragging on their home county for quite a while, the pair of Orange- tes discovered that they were Dorn in adjoining villages, and knew the same people. They also knew the mountain where Harrlman is building his 'steen million dollar cottage, and all the land marks around their respective towns, Craigville and Newberry. They were born about the same time In the same county, and mot each other for the first time in the same capacity in the Kansas senate. This Senator Travis affinity bill, al though it does not mention the popular word, is intended for a death blow at the affinity business. It is calculated to -make the man who thinks he is too handsome to live with his lawful wife, take a second think before hitting the high places with some soul mate. A law' like this would make the life of the affinitist anything but a pleasant dream. A lot of assorted, slightly shop worn affinities would be out of Jobs. The bill would get better results than all the teaching of the church. Hail (not frost) the Travis affinity bill. Representative Hutchison, of Wy andotte county, slightly resembles the late Governor Pharao, of Egypt, and wears the expression which says plainer than words, Aw, what s the use. But he has introduced a bill which contains a good idea. The provisions of the act are aimed at the noble, but half-baked Berlin, Feb. King Edward of England. accompanied by- Queen Alexandra, arrived in Berlin this morning from London and was given a warm welcome by Emperor William and the German authorities. The city was gaily decorated in honor of the visitors, and large crowds gathered in the streets which were liberally decorated with flags, to witness the procession to the palace. The special train bearing the king ana queen arrived at the Lehrter rail road station at 11 o'clock. There had assembled to meet the king, Emperor William, the crown prince, his eldest son, the other princes of the royal house including Prince Henry of t-russia, the emperors brother Chancellor von Buelow, Foreign Minister von Schoen and a number of other numbers of the cabinet and high officials of the court. A squadron of the Queen "Victoria regiment of dragoons, of which King Edward is honorary colonel was drawn up with ini the station and the band of this regiment heralded the arrival of the special train with music. King Edward and Emperor William greeted each other heartily and re peatedly kissing each other on the cheeks. These exchanges- over, the procession for the march to the pal ace was at once formed. At the head was the squadron of dragoons and then came King Edward and Emperor William in ona carnage, with Queen Alexandra and the empress and Princess Victoria, the empress's daughter, following in the second. The route of march to the palace was lined with large crowds that had been waiting for at least two hours The weather was cold and nipping. but still the people stood patiently to witness the progress of the emperor and his guests. "Within the Brandenburg gate the mayor, Herr Kirschner. and the alder men of Berlin, welcomed the royal visitors. The mayor delivered hearty address of greeting, to which King Edward made a brief response. The mayor's daughter then presented Queen Alexandra with a bouquet. The Pariser Platz, where these greetings were exchanged was elaborately deco rated with evergreens and garlands ot artihcal flowers. The German' and British colors played a conspicuous part in the decorations. Coal Belt Bank Closed. Washington, Feb. 9.

This Wyandotte representative has not been very active, and the reappor tionment bill drafters may have had him in mind when they cut down the Wyandotte supply of legislators. Ex-Senator Balie Waggener is hav ing lots of fun at the expense of the anti-lob bill. While a photographer was snapping some of the senators in their seats yesterday, the Joker from Atchison climbed into the vacant seat beside each subject in turn, and half a dozen senators will take back to their "constits" a picture of themselves hob nobbing with the railroad attorney. Senator Waggener tried to induce one senator to pose with his hand in the pocket of Waggener's coat, but the senator refused to bite. TO MAKE WOODEX MAP.

FREED FROM" ITCHING BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "I have been successfully cured of dry eczema. I was inspecting the re moval of noxious weeds, it being part of my duty, from the edge of a river and was constantly in the dust from the weeds. At night I shook out my trou sers and cleansed my limbs, but felt a prickly sensation. I paid no attention to it for two years, but I noticed a scum on my legs like fish scales. I could scrape it off,, and yet I did not attend to it until it came to be too itchy and sore and began getting two running sores. My ankles were all sore and scabby and I could not wear shoes. I had to use carpet and felt slippers for weeks. I was then on particular police duty and was compelled to be on duty. I got a cake of the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. In less than ten days I could put on my boots and in less than three weeks, though on duty all the time, I was free from the con founded itching.
