THEY ARE COX1TRMED. Senate Accepts All of Governor's Karly Appointments. Just prior to the noon adjournment today the senate went into executive session and confirmed all the appoint ments in the public service thus far recommended by Governor Stubbs. There was no fight on any of the ap pointees and the confirmation proceed ings were perfunctory taking up but little time. Senator Travis today took a hitch in his personally conducted filibuster against the advancement out of their regular order of all bills in the senate, making an exception in the case of appropriation bills. Senators Cald well and Hunter assisted in preventing the advancement of certain bills this morning, raising objections to the re quest of Senator Price for unanimous consent to advance to third reading the Jackson antitrust bills. Travis Denies It. Sena'tor Travis denies that he is op posed to all administration measures, but he does admit that he has his stiletto unsheathed and keenly honed and ready for business against any and all public utility measures, notices Vailed to Score. Senator Hodges, throughout the morning session, endeavored to get the Massachusetts ballot law, H. B. No. 735. by Edwards, before the senate for consideration; but at every attempt President Pro. Tem. Porter, who was in the chair ruled him out of order. Senator Hodges declares he will per sist in his purpose to have the ballot law considered by the senate. On motion of Senator Price the sen ate decided to make the Jackson anti trust bills H. B. No. 251, 252 and 253, a special order for consideration at the session this afternoon. Sundry Hill Passed. The senate this morning passed the appropriation bill to pay sundry claims against the state for supplies furnished, for extra time put in by employes and various purposes. Sen ator Ganse endeavored to have re jected the claims of members of the house for expenses from Topeka to Leavenworth and return incurred in visiting penal institutions. The sen ate, however, declined to strike out the Item. More Bank Deputies. The senate passed the bill author izing the state bank commissioner to employ additional deputies and a stenographer. After this bill, S. B. No. 668, had been passed. Senator Hodges moved that the vote be re considered. He declared that the additional employes are not necessary. Senator Quincy supported the Hodges motion. The majority of the senators, however, believed otherwise and the motion to reconsider was lost. The appropriation bill to pay the current expenses of the Kansas School for Feeble-Minded Youth at Winfield. for the years 1910 and 1911. was nasied by the senate. The sum of $88,700 for each year is allowed. The senate also passed the bill mak-J ing appropriation for the current ex penses of the Topeka State hospital for 1910 and 1911. The sum of J185. 600 is allowed for 1910 and $187,500 for 1911. For building and equip ment of a tubercular pavilion for men the bill allows $16,000 and for a hos pital for women, $25,000. The senate passed the appropria tion bill for paying current expenses of the Kansas School for the Blind, at Kansas City, Kan., for 1910 and 1911. The sum of $25,100 is given for each vear and for special improvements $2,700 is allowed for 1910 and $1,000 for 1911 Among the bills passed by the sen- at today were Tne lunuwms. iL B.

Ihe employers' liability act pre pared by the house judiciary commit tee and passed with scarcely any op position In the house, is now reposing in the judiciary committee of the sen ate,and its chances for escaping from that committee are considered very slim, indeed. Senator Price, chairman of the committee, appears to be of the opinion that this measure is not de sirable as a iaw for the state of Kan sas for the reason that it imposes the railroad liability provisions upon all factories, mines, mills, packing houses, and other concerns. He states, that this house bill is not the same as the national employers' liability act and he indicated that the senate commit tee will probably not report the bill to the senate. The application of this measure is stated in section 2, as follows: "That every railroad company, or cor poration, and every person, association of persons, or corporation, owning or operating any mine, factory, workshop, packinghouse, packing plant, and every person, association of persons, or cor poration engaged in the erection or re pairing of buildings or bridges where machinery or hoists are used in the construction and erection of the same, shall be liable in damages to any per son suffering injury while such person is employed by and working In the em ployment of any of the persons, asso ciations of persons, or corporations, or companies above mentioned, or in case of death of such employe, tor such ln- iurv or death, resulting in wnoie or in part from the negligence or tne em ployer or its officers, agents, servants or other employes or by reason of any defect or insufficiency in tne ways, works, machinery or by reason of any defect or insufficiency in the ways works, machinery or other equipment of sa a emp.oyer. aue to me ao.iu c..H-j-'. 0...., vants or otner emP1oyes. ana bv.cn cause UL ilUUUIl JIlclv UG lJldlll.a.i 111 manner and by and for the benefit of any of the parties as is now, or as may be hereafter provided by law." Section 5 provides that no agreement, regulation or other device, that has for its purpose exemption of employers from liability shall be held valid. Also under this act the contributory negli gence of an employe shall not be a bar tc recovery of damages, unless it ap pears to the jury that the employe's negligence contributed more to the in jury than the negligence of the employ HAD 200,000 VISITORS. Inauguration Crowd Came From Eastern States. Mostly "Washington, March 6. Every out going train today carried inaugural visitors on their way home. The Union station was filled with the crowds and visiting organizations which had marched down Pennsyl vania avenue toward the station to strains of martial music. The strangers who remained devoted the day to sight-seeing. The inauguration concerts have been largely attended. Members of the inaugural committee say that it is assured of a surplus over the guarantee fund subscribed by citizens last December. The festivities will wind up with the fifth of the in augural concerts tonight at the Pen sion Bureau building. The Philippine constabulary band was among the features of this afternoon's concert. Chairman Weller of the commitce on public comfort today estimated the number of inaugural visitors at 200, 000. Railroad officials say the ar rivals from the eastern states were larger in number than four years ago but that they were comparatively few from the west. STATE RESTS. Another Witness Impeaches the Testi mony of S. J. Benning. Nashville. Tenn.. March 6. The state I rested in the Cooper-Sharp murder trial i just before the noon hour today. The state called C. Karrell. employed in the Tetmesseean office, who on the afternoon of the killing saw Carmack go into the drug store across the street. He went to the store n moment later. "Was Carmack in the business office before he left the building that after noon?" asked General Garner. "He was not." "He was not in the business office how long were you there?" "From 1 p. m. that day on." This witness impeached S. J. Benning, the defense's mysterious red bearded man. who swore he saw Carmack in the busi ness office of the Tennesseean that after noon. Benning was arrested last night for alleged per.iury. General Washington made efforts today to confuse Karrell. but failed. ITS POWER EXTENDED. Railway Commission Given Jurisdic tion Over Telephone and Telegraph. Olympia, Wash.. March Both houses have passed a bill giving the railway commission jurisdiction over telephone and telegraph companies and power to compel physical connections between competing long distance tele phone companies in cities wh-ere both have exchanges. 1 Another act that passed the house and will now go to the governor puts the control of the public warehouses and the inspection of grain in the hands of the railway commission. Reduction In Wages. Reading, Pa., March 6. F. C. Sinink, president of the Reading Iron company today announced a reduction in wages ir. the different departments of from 7 to 15 per cent. The puddling basis will be at the rate of $3.75 per ton. The for mer rate was $4.50 a ton. Decline in the price of products of the firm was given as a reason. Weather Indications. Chicago, March 6. Forecast for Kan sas: Increasing cloudiness tonight. Sun- day probably rain. STUBBSMESSAGE Asks Legislature to Increase Railroad Foard. Additional Work Imposed Sakes This Necessary. OFFERS AN OBJECTION Thinks Physical Valuation Ap propriation Too Large. Not Disposed to Interfere With Legislative Prerogatives. Governor Stubbs sent the following message to the legislature today: "The enactments of this legislature will very largely increase the duties of the board of railroad commissioners during the next two years. The addi tional work which has been imposed upon that board is of vast and vital mportance to the farming, commer cial and industrial interests of our state. I most earnestly recommend that you increase the number of railroad commissioners from three to five and empower the governor to appoint two additional members of the board who shall be chosen with special reference to their technical knowledge of rail road affairs and qualifications for the office to which they are appointed. "I am aware that this proposition will subject me to the criticism of seek ing to multiply offices and increase pat- i ronage at my disposal, but these state ments win De more than answered Dy my recommendation to the legislature to consolidate three state boards into one which, if enacted into law, would have eliminated six appointive offices on1 1. 1. -...J .i Y. fiye oil inspectors each of whom re- ceived a saary and expense account of sum per month and were a so anno nt. jve by the governor be aboiished and the further fact that at the very be ginning of this administration I direct ed the state grain inspector to discharge every man who was not needed in his department which cut out 12 more ap pointive officers, each of whom received I $So per month. Should Be Appointive. "While I am strongly impressed with the opinion that this kind of a board should be appointed by the governor and that he should be held responsible directly to the people for the results of their -work, yet if the legislature in its wisdom considers it best to have them elected by the peo pie I will cheerfully defer to their judgment. But to Induce men of great capacity for this class of work to be come candidates for such offices, the official term should be made four years, whether they be appointive or elective, so that the officers of that board will have time to formulate a policy and pursue it for a sufficient length of time that the people may be able to determine its wisdom before their terms expire. "The proposed appropriations of $120,000 for physical valuation of rail roads are in my judgment unneces sarily extravagant. If this legislature will enact into law the measure which has passed the house requiring the railroads to furnish itemized state ments, under oath, of the value of their property, and appropriate $25, 000 per annum to be used for physical valuation of railroads, the state will very soon be in a position to make rates intelligently and defend their schedules in any court in the land. "I have no disposition whatever to interfere with the constitutional pre rogatives of the legislature to make the laws of this state, but it is my sworn duty to press upon your atten tion those matters which I Deneve win promote the general welfare of this nnmmonwealth. I. therefore. urge your most serious consideration of the matters herein aoove mentioned. "W. K. STUBiSB. Rusliing the. Work. The house is winding up its affairs today. Like the man who went on a journey into a far country and first placed everytning in orui-i, une iiuoo s rushing things towara one ssihb" nmn't ndlournment. The local bills have nil heen disDOsed of. the concur ft-nt resolutions and bills on third read- i looneil nn tniiav. There only mains some 200 bills on general orders, r!maI"s ?2JLZZ.7i Jf Emt imnne them. some 15 appropriation bills among them. The piArka are working overtime on the house records, while the members were in a buzz of disorder all day con ferring with each other on the matters that must be disposed of before Mon day night at midnight. Long speeches ar,v ciihlent are absolutely barred. The speaker's gavel has worked like a steam trip-hammer all day in the ef forts to keep order. The confusion of last hours of every legislation is al ready apparent. Work in Harmony. In spite of the fact that the utilities bill fight was the bitterest, the hardest and longest ever had in any state leg islature in the past 12 years the mem bers today worked together in peace and good will. There are no sore spots apparent, no personal enmities. A lot of important and beneficial legisla tion has been enacted, a lot has been left undone and some foolish and dras hina nassed. No house ever work ed harder, did less, talked longer or ate more apples. The house committees worked long and hard, carefully considering all of v,a r,e thousand bills introduced. A lot of work will be left over for Monday, but if the same progress is made that marked the past two days the calendar win nave urai cn vii ed of important bills when the gavel falls at midnight Monday. Another Pleasant Day. The forecast for Kansas today indicated cloudy and tnreatening weamer coiiuiiious but it does not apply to this section of the state for the sun has shone since morn ing with undimmed brilliancy.. The tem peratures have been a number of degrees above normal and there is nothing in sight to warrant the forecast of increas ing cloudiness tonight. -The government weather department also predicts the probability of a rain for Sunday.

For Congress to Reassemble Middle of Month. Six Cabinet V embers Take Oath of Office. Washington, March 6. The senate today adjourned until the 15th Instant. The credentials of Senator Stephen son, or Wisconsin failed to arrive in time to permit him to be sworn in. The manner in which the senate de termines the presence of a quorum was made plain when -Senators Lodge and Bailey joined in calling attention to the fact that there had been no record of the presence of a quorum snice the Sixty-first congres assembled at 12 o'clock on the fourth. Vice President Sherman, who is fa miliar with methods pursued in the house replied that the journal of the fourth contained the names of the senators who were then present and that they constituted a quorum of the body. This statement was shocking to senators with whom the manner of as certaining a quorum is a tradition not to be lightly ignored. Mr. Sherman was informed that a quorum in 4he senate is shown by the calling of the roll and the actual responses of sena tors -and not by merely having their presence noted by the clerk. The roll was then promptly called. The senate went into executive ses sion at 12:05 p. m. to consider nomina tions." Among those taken up were William Loeb, jr.. to be collector, of the port of New Tork, and Beekman Winthrop to be assistant secretary of the navy. The president nominated Thomas C. Burns to be register of the land office, and Oliver C. Kippenbrock to be re ceiver of public money at Gregory, 3. D. Call for Special Session. Washington, March 6. President Taft today issued a call for a special session of the Sixty-first congress to convene March 15. The call does not mention the. object for which the special session is called.

As the re sult of a dispute with a negro waiter, Dr. Lonnie Robson of Charleston, S. C-, who came here with the German Fussilier company of the National guard of South Carolina to attend the inauguration, will go home minus one eye and with the sight of the other seriously impaired. The trouble occurred last Thursday night in a fashionable restaurant here, the negro striking Dr. Robson's eye-; glasses and driving a portion of the lens into his left eye. Dr. Robson was removed to a hospital and yesterday the injured eye ball was removed. The right eye also is, in a serious con dition. The negro escaped and has not been arrested. THEY OBJECT TO SPLITS. Vaudeville Performers hi Chicago Five Cent Theaters Up in Arms. Chicago, March 6. "Vaudeville per formers at 5-cent theaters are in dignant over an attempt of the man agers to inaugurate "splits" whereby they are forced to go from one thea ter to another daily. At present they have one "split" a week, which means that they play four nights in one thea ter and three in another. The Moving Picture Theater Own ers association, has determined to adopt the new system.. It is said that audiences tire of the artista if they are kept more than a day in any one theater. "One split a week, $20 salary, or strike," is the ultimatum handed in by the performers of whom there are about 1,000 employed in. the nickel theaters. Janitor Gives School Board Shock. Bayonne. N. J., March 6. Thomas Mclntyre, a janitor employed in the lo cal schools, has given the school board a shock by asking that his salary be reduced from o0 to w a month. His request was granted without any heat ed debate. Mclntyre said that he con sidered $50 too much pay for the "ser vice he gave the city. NOT FORJAFilES. Supreme Court Ifenies Right to County Assessor's Office. Sued for Place Under Old Sol diers' Preference Law. WHAT IS NEGLIGENCE? Man Hurt by Sudden Stopping of Train Can't Recover. Man May He "Perf orming Duty' While Resting. The suit of Thomas M. James against the county commissioners of Shawnee county in which James, who is an old soldier and was an applicant for the place of county assessor, sought to have S. H. Haynes, the pres ent assessor, ousted from his office under the old soldiers' preference law was decided by the supreme court. The writ of ouster asked for by James was ueniea. The court's decision in this matter was not based upon the effectiveness of the old soldier preference act, but rather upon the fact that after all county assessors had been aDDointed under the new tax law that the leg- m ui uer n j set iii rest an al legations as to the validity of these appointments, passed an act that pro vided that all things done and all ap pointments made under the new tax law should be confirmed' and made valid. The court held that this curative act made valid the appointment of Haynes by the Shawnee county com missioners in the face of the old sol dier preference act for the reason that the legislature could, if it had desired, have made exceptions in favor of those appointments made contrary to the old soldiers' preference act. In its opinion the court found that James was an honorably discharged old soldier, fully competent to per form the duties of the1 office he sought and thus came well within the pro visions of the act under which he brought suit. The court did not pass at all In this case on the effectiveness of the old soldier preference act, but denied the writ of ouster on the grounds of the legislative curative act noted above. If a man was on a freight train and has a car of cattle in the train and a conductor yells, "This train burning," and the passenger becomes excited, rushes to the rear platform and is thrown to the ground because Of the tltfn ttlinnin 1, r, f tiA train V- i cannot recover damages for the injury received tneretrem. Thi Is the -de- cision of the Kansas supreme court in the suit of A. P. James against the Rock Island railroad company. James was taking some cattle to market and was in the caboose of the train when the conductor discovered that a car was on fire. The train was running about thirty miles an hour. The con- auctor snouted tnat the train was burning and James ran to the rear platform to see if his car of stock was the one on fire.

Chief Justice Johnson and Justices Mason and Benson dissent from the decision of the majority of the court in this case. A man may be resting, but still is performing a duty, according to the decision of the Kansas supreme court in the suit of the Pittsburg Vitrified Brick Co. against Edwin Fisher from Crawford county. Fisher is the step father of James Larue, who was killed in the plant of the company. Larue and others were working at the brick making machine and it was Larue's time to rest. While sitting on a truck he was told that another machine was out of order and he started over to help fix it. His clothing caught in the marhlncrv snH ho t-v, j in- courts held that even though he were re'"f -ana.wa.naerea over to help do mecmn& lnat. was not particularly his own work he was performing his auty ana tne company was liable for damages.

He sold some property as an agent and from both the owner and purchaser he retained J6.56 which he claimed was to pay the taxes on the property, but the taxes were never paid and the property was later sold for taxes and then the action was begun against Wilson because he had not acted in good faith. There was another charge that Wilson had retained $100 which did not belong to him in the same transaction. The low er court disbarred him and the su preme court sustained the disbarment.

That night it rained and every thing in the house was thoroughly soaked. Crupper, who was 74 years of age, protected his wife by holding tablecloths over her, while he himself stood in the rain all night in a house from which the roof had been removed because the owners wanted him to move. Tne lower court gave him $800 damages and the su preme court held that he was entitled to every cent of it. When a gas company exacts five dollars advance payment from a cus tomer and uses this money as its own it must pay taxes on it. This is the decision of the Kansas supreme court in the suit of the Parsons Natural Gas company against J. R. r Rockhold, countv treasurer of Labette county. Nearly every one of the natural gas companies operating in Kansas re quire this deposit when a new cus tomer orders gas into his house. The Parsons company had $4,800 in this fund which it was using the same as its other monies. It refused to pay taxes on this money, but the supreme court held that this money was taxable and ordered the company to pay. Anna Fishback and her husband Peter Fishback, were running a joint in Wichita. An injunction against this joint was granted by the district court, but the Flshbacks kept on sell ing liquor. They were arrested and fined for oontempt and then appealed to the supreme court, and, as is cus tomary with all liquor cases, in which the evidence was plain that defend ants had violated an injunction, the supreme court affirmed the decision of the lower court and the jointlst must pay tho fine. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the district court in Chau tauqua county and Robert Moore must serve ten years in the penitentiary for the murder of Frank Beree. Moore and Beree had had some .trouble. They met one day and Beree pointed his hand at Moore. The latter thought Beree had a gun and was going to shoot, bo he drew his revolver and shot Beree to death. The charge of first degree murder was charged to manslaughter In the second degree by the lower court on account of the cir cumstances, which indicated self de fense. Where A owns the gas rights in a tract of land B owns the oil rights in the same together with the right to drill and case wells thereon and B drills and cases a well which proves to be a gas well of great volume, and A thereafter with knowledge of the facts agree to pay B for drilling and casing said well he must carry out his contract and pay B for the latter's actual cost of drilling and casing said gas well. The Pittsburg Vitrified Brick company is the A referred to in this case and the Cere bus Oil company is B. The supreme court holds that the brick company, by the course of reasoning outlined above, must pay to the oil company the sum of $1,697 for the latter's cost in drill ing and casing a big gas well on the lands of the brick company.

The Christie Grain company of Kansas City, Kan., has failed. Judge Fisher of the Wvanflntte countv district court, has appointed W. M. Whitelaw as receiver for the firm.

Fischer on behalf of C. C. Christie, owner of 246 shares of the company's stock. The petition set forth that the assets were less than the indebtedness of the company, and because of the danger of the creditors attaching the assets and dissipating them in costs and expenses, a receiver was asked. Actine upon the -petition Judge Fischer appointed Mr. Whitelaw, an attorney, as receiver for the company. !Twentv minutes later the receiver took .he tnrU was president.

"Theodore Roosevelt will never -'return to the United States alive. iff he carries out his announced intentions in exploring the dark regions of Africa in quest of big game." This is the opinion of Prof. Fred erick Starr of the University of Chi cago, whose prophecy is based upon his knowledge of the dangers of that country, particularly jthe Insidious fevers, through his expeditions to the Congo Free State. The ex-president, according to the edu cator, will Invade a section of the country whsre few white men have dared to ven ture heretofore on account of the fatal nature of prevailing epidemics and the "sleeping sickness." "His danger," says the professor In a communication to students, "will not He in the ferociousness of the animals which dwell there, but In the fevers, which every explorer has come to fear and which have taken the lives of many ad venturers. I have visited Africa and have known the extent of these. I had a fever peculiar to that portion of the coun try I visited nine different times and nar rowly escaped with my life.

He Is Known in Baseball From Coast to Coast. IS WELL LIKED IN W.L. Will ProTe a Drawing Card All Around the Circuit. Something About the History of Topeka's Third Sacker. .Wherever Dr. Jay Andrews plays he makes a few enemies, says an ex change. Likewise, the scrappy doctor usually leaves a lot of warm friends behind him. as he hops from one cir cuit to another. Dr. Jay got his start in baseball In the old 'Western asso ciation, which was made up of many of the cities which are now In the Western league circuit. Since then he has played in the Western league fre quently, his last appearance in that class being in 1905 when he managed the St. Joseph team for a time. It was from St. Joe that "Doc" came to the Western association, and caught on with Topeka for the tag end of the season. A Wise Ball Player. The doctor is a "wise" ball player. He was at one time, fit to play in big league company, and he was in the American league In its first year, as third baseman for the Buffalo club. In 1901 Buffalo was dropped, and the doctor dropped back with it. He want ed to get away from the New Tork town, but he had to play some awful ball before he succeeded. There was a while that his errors were about as numerous as his accepted chances, but still Buffalo refused to attach the tin can. It came in due season, however, and none was happier than the doughty physician. From Buffalo he trekked westward clear to the Pacific coast league. That was a classy circuit in those days but "Doc" was good enough to shine even among the many stars which were there. He managed Tacoma for a season or two, then drifted back again to the middle west. Andrews Is a Washington, III., pro duct. Washington isn't a very big town, but it must be remembered that most of the good ball players come from the rural districts. His parents expected him to be a shining light in surgery and pent him to Rush Medical college to absorb all the knowledge that was floating loose around that in stitution. The boy absorbed a lot of it. but he also got a liking for baseball while he was there. He used to play ball about as much as he attended lectures. His absences from lecture would just about tally with his atten dance marks on the ball field. Played Every Sunday. Sunday usually saw Andrews in come of the smaller towns within a Jiundred miles of Chicago. playing vith a semipro team. In those days he was a pitcher, and a mighty prom- T Tnt our American forests abound fa plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues la abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers.

He made such a record in semi pro circles that Des Moines gave him a try-out as a slab artist, and there never was any question about his making good. He was a regular the first season. He pitched for two or three years, but his ability as an in fielder, and his value as a batsman made it necessary for him to get into the game regularly. That is how he came to be a third baseman. A Valuable Man. With all his faults, Andrews is one of the most valuable men- to any team on which he plays. He is one of the few players who have have managed teams who can play under another manager without trying to run the team his way. On the field he is aggressive, ana people who don t know him some times misjudge him on that account, Off the field he Is a dandy good fellow, and a capital story teller. Withal, he is one of the most noted men in base ball. He Is known from coast io coast and from class D to the majors. I he news that Andrews will return to Topeka settles the third base problem in that city. None of the youngsters that Cooley has on his string will be able to supplant him. Around the circuit, the old Western league cities are glad that Andrews is to play in the Western this year. They like to watch him and like to hear him talk. Is Liked in Sioux City. The Sioux City Tribune tells this good story of him, which is but one of a thousand that might be told: "After all, Sioux City fans and other Western league baseball lovers are to have a chance to see our old friend Doc Jason Andrews in action. Jason has forwarded his signed contract to Man ager Dick Cooley of Topeka and an nounced he is to play the game of his life this season. Jason says he won't stand for any kidding and that he is going to be on the watercart from start to finish. He advises Manager Dick to stick on, too. Jason will get a warm welcome from the fans every where. He has his faults, but a big heart and unfailing good nature make up for his eccentricities. The last time Jay was seen -in Sioux City he was fired by the old St. Joe club. He knew It was coming and he went out in a blaze of glory by tieing a tomato can to a piece of binding twine, attaching it to his belt and trotting out to third. The 'can' proposition made a hit with the crowd and even the St. Joe man agement had to laugh. But the vari ous stockholders said Jason must go, so he rattled his tin can out of the Western and went into the Western Association where he has been a warm favorite for several seasons. GOOIiEY BACK TONIGHT. Other Items of Interest to Topeka Baseball Pans. Dick Cooley is scheduled to get back from Excelsior Springs tonight. Dick ought to bring a lot of dope back with him. From now on he will be getting ready for the practice season.

Manager Holland of the Wichita team is in receipt of a leter from the management of the Enid Western as sociation team, in which it is stated that Enid will play in Wichita April 18 and 19. These are two of the dates which were cancelled by the Okla homa City club. The Mets could not fill their engagement because of their admittance to the Texas league cir cuit, which will open its season about that time. Jimmy Austin of last season's Omaha team is up against a hard proposition in trying to beat out Warde and Eberfield for third base of the Highlanders. Warde is the heav iest hitting young infielder who has broken into the big league in years and Eberfield is a crack player. Billy Hart of the Little Rock club has been pitching good ball for twenty-seven years. The training trip mapped for the Cleveland Naps this year will cost the owners $8,500. Merkle gets a raise this year. ITtXMAN LEAVES JOPLIX. Popular Western Association Player Will Join Port Worth. Joplin, Mo., March 6. Johnny Fill man, manager and captain of last year's Miners, has leftJoplln for Fort Worth, Texas, where he has been given an infield assignment for the season of 1909 by the city editor of baseball' affairs.

Fillman had a banner year last sea son in the field, having led the third basemen by a comfortable margin. He also clouted the ball regularly, and as usual ran bases in a sensational and effective manner. He was the prize run getter of the locals. GAGNIER SIGNS CP. Lincoln's Popular Shortstop Has Conte to Terms. Lincoln, Neb., March 6. A vol uminous envelope bearing the post mark of Detroit. Mich., has come sliding into rthe home plate at Guy Green's baseball office, bringing joy to Guy and to every Lincoln fan who was fortunate enough to get next to the cheerful information. It brought the signed contract of Eddie Gagnier, the boss shortstop of the Western league and a prime favorite for the past three years with local patrons of the national game. Eddie had been holding out for some mysterious reas on, and President Guy's wonderment had begun to turn to worry. Now it is all explained, for with the contract came a letter giving the facts as to the delay. Bad news, however, is coming to Guy Green mixed with the good. An Item in the St. Louis Sporting News, dated Waterloo. Iowa, states that John House, the Indian outfielder, pur chased by Mr. Green from the Bur lington, Iowa, club, has quit his home In Oneida, Wis., and gone to Fresno, Cal., to Join the outlaw league. Mr. Green has no direct information on the subject, but rather fears that the Waterloo item is correct. House was not satisfied with the salary offered by Guy, but instead of writing to the Lincoln magnate and stating his ob jections, he proceeded without further ceremony to Jump to the outlaws.

"When a man decides he likes a woman, he should pop the question right away. The quicker you plow your corn, the quicker you get your weeds out. Never once did I spark any woman more than five times.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAI-gATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 6, 1909. NEED MORE MEN. Topeka tire Department Is Badly Handicapped. So Sajs Expert Hydraulic and Electrical Engineer. BUY MORE STEAMERS. V City Could Use Them to a Great Advantage. Firemen Are Well Regulated and Managed. Through the efforts of Chaxles E. Eldridge, manager of the Kansas Fire Insurance Inspection office. Mayor William Green of this city received a report last night which covered the flre protection problems in Topeka. This report was compiled by E. R. Townsend, an expert hydraulic and electrical engineer of Chicago, who was asked to come to Topeka and make a report of the conditions of the fire fighting system. According to Mr. Townsend Topeka needs more men for the fire depart ment, needs a new system of pumps at the waterworks, a new building ordinance and additional steamers. The lowering of the pumps at the pumping station is one of the import ant problems and it has been ad vocated by the waterworks depart ment for a number of months. As a whole Mr. Townsend says that the fire fighting system in Topeka is in competent for the needs of the city. It will be noticed in reading the report that the Topeka flre depart ment is in very good shape and it is far above the average. It is well managed, the men are selected in an advantageous manner and the sta tions are in a good location. The only thing the department needs is 'ucu aim lllUltl The report will tell the story and is as follows: Supervision very good: water supply apparently adequate, but present meth ods of draughting impose a severe strain on pumps by reason of excessive lift and presence of fine sand, which has a tendency to destroy valves and pump fittings. To overcome this dif ficulty, the installation of a low ser vice pumping system is advised, so ar ranged as to discharge into storage reservoirs on pump house site, from w hich water may flow to pumps, reliev ing same of lift, and numerous troubles generally encountered with long-suction lines. The storage reservoir will also give pumps full supply in event of emer gency, as the supply from wells may run low during demands. Pumping ca pacity considered to be low. inasmuch as it meets only about 75 per cent of the requirements necessary to furnish supply for fire purposes. Pumps have been recently overhauled and are ap parently in good condition. Tests of fire pressure indicate that the main feeder system is too small to supply satisfactory flre service, but this objec tion is to be somewhat removed by the installation of a duplicate force main. Distributing system and circulation are considered to be fair only for di rect fire fighting purposes, but with Improvements as herein noted, it would be capable of giving a good supply for full steamer service, with several addi tional hydrant streams. A large per centage of 4-inch pipes, together with small hydrants, prevent an otherwise good supply for fire streams, especially In the mercantile district. Tests indi cate that at least 25 per cent more water could be obtained by the use of 5-lnch hydrants over that of 4-inch hydrants. The municipality has authorized the installation of six (6) additional welis and a duplicate force main, which will improve the service. A favorable feat Tire of the system is the installation of four (4) hydrants at the principal street intersections in the commercial district. All services snouia De metered, in order to reduce the daily consump tion. Fire Department. The flre department is well regulated. and is under very good discipline, the method of appointment being particu larly advantageous in securing com petent firemen, and much has been ac complished with an undersized depart ment. The annual appropriation of only $43,000 (which is considered to be exceedingly low), seriously interferes with the fulfillment of much-needed improvements. Stations are well lo cated, and none seriously exposed. The apparatus, after having been given severe tests, is considered to be In good condition, and is apparently well maintained. The fire department receives satisfactory co-operation from the gas, electric light and water cora j)any. A series of tests of the water system indicate that it will be necessary to establish a full steamer service, with a full complement of men, in. order to successfully cope with serious fires. The department is dangerously handi capped on account of the small numer ical force of firemen, the insufficient mount of hose and absence of small apparatus. Outside aid may be obtain ed from Kansas City, Mo., about seven ty miles distant. The department 'has been authoriz es to build an additional fire depart ment station In the eastern section of the town. General Recommendations. Waterworks Immediate improve ments: Install low service pumping system to relieve pumps of excessive lift, and provide for storage reservoir on pump house site. Provide pumps with relief valves; Increasing The demand i constantly in creasing for lavonnj vm. racts s& This is accounted for by the fact that Dr. Price's flavors are just ts represented true to nature, made from the finest fruits, of delicate taste, and of the greatest strength attainable. r also keep steam on cylinders of idle pumo. Repair and renew steam mains with heavy weight pipe. Replace oil lights by electric lights or approved system of lighting. Provide chemical for dwelling por tion of pump house. Place hose in boiler room on reel. Meter all service connections. In addition to the 18-inch duplicate main, which is under construction, in stall the following mains: (a) 10-inch duplicate main to Nortn -lopeKa, idj 8-inch on Quincy st-. from 4th st. to 11th st. (c) 8-inch on Jackson St., from 4th st., to 11th st. (d) 8-inch on 11th st. from Kansas ave. to Quincy 8-inch on 9th st. from jacKson st. to Jefferson st. Adopt measure calculated to pre vent electrolytic action on water mains. Carefully inspect hydrants with a view of ascertaining whether same are properly packed and if hydrant stem and hydrant wrench properly mesh: also graphite outlet threads. Install sufficient number of valves so that there will be no more than the distance of one block of pipe out of commission in event of repairs, etc., in the mercantile or high value dis trict, nor more than two blocks in any other district. Subsequent improvements: Install high service pump of not less than five million gallons capacity. Install the following mains: 8-inch on 10th st. from Monroe st. to Jef ferson st.; 8-inch on 8th ave. from Madison st. to Jefferson St.: 8-mcn on Jefferson st. from 6th st. to 10th St.; 12-inch on Morris avenue from ter minal of present 1 2-inch main to King St.; 12-inch on King st. from Morris st. to Western ave.; 8-inch on Lincoln t tn Kansas ave.: 8-inch on Jackson st. from 11th st. to 14th st.; 8-inch on 14th st. from Western ave. to jacKson St.: 8-inch on 13th St. from Jackson st. to Kansas ave.; 8-inch rsortn ivan sas ave. from Gordon st. to Kious st. T,m-iHe nil streets in which no mains are installed, with not less than 6-inch pipe. t. Install nyaranis on ;u oncci. section. Gradually replace all 4-inch pipe witn pipe of not less than 6 inches in diam eter. Eliminate as lar as possioie, m ends. Fire Department. Provide three full paid men and sta tionary heater for Ahrens steamer. cnM. nno first size and one second size steamer, with three full paid men and stationary heater for each. Provide one man eacn mr companies, also one V. .1J T. jT engine No. 1. one man for hook and lad der truck No. 1. and two men for hook and ladder truck No. 2. Establish additional fire department station in the eastern section of town, to be equipped with one combination hose wagon and chemical engine, with at least a 35-gallon tank, small ladders, and manned with five full paid men. Provide the aerial hook and ladder truck at headquarters with quick-hoist- '"LiSTtan times, at least 10 K feet of standard flre hose, to be tested semi-annually at 175 pounds Pressure with the steamer. Hose should be dried, preferably at each station, on racks orj in drying tower. Torrata a more freauent inspection of buildings in tne cansesu calling owners' attention to objection able and unsafe conditions with written Dprovide small apparatus such as deck pipe, ladder nozzle, gate valves, hose jackets, cellar nozzles, respirators, and extra "turn-down" nozzle that can be changed from l'i-Inch to -inch open- inprovide hand chemical extinguishers for all hose wagons. Post in each station a diagram of waterworks system, showing pipe sizes and location of hydrants, and require firemen to be familiar with same. Replace gravity cells for fire alarm system with storage battery cells. Install a joker system with register at each station. Install at least 35 additional fire alarm boxes. Building Ordinances. Building laws: Fire limits are definitely drawn and frame construc tion prohibited by ordinance therein including 10 buildings with the pos sible exception of some bridge work across twenty-foot alleys connecting mercantile buildings. Some evasions of this ordinance 'are in evidence. An ordinance providing for storage of gunpowder and a limit on dynamite is enforced, the metal receptacles for same being maintained near the en trance to stores handling this ex plosive. Chief of flre department en forces ordinance regarding con struction of flues, heat pipes, and storage of volatile oils, and has supervision relative to accumulation of rubbish, but this latter matter is not enforced fully satisfactory, doubtless account of Insufficient men maintained in the fire department. At present there is an electrical ordi nance before a council committee, for consideration, but to date, the city has little or no regulation in this matter, and no electrical inspector. Overhead wires throughout the mer cantile district, especially in the alleys, are so frequent as to be a menace to the fire department; one of the two telephone companies have in stalled their service in conduits throughout the mercantile section. No natural gas ordinance for testing of house connections, and prevention bf use of rubber tubes, although the gas company, we understand, now re quires "house connection" tests. Natural gas is generally considered as the origin or contributing to the losses of the last four large fires. Ordinances Recommendations. Other than fireproof construction bridgework across alleys with cut off by fire doors, are conflagration breed ers, and should be prevented by ordi nance. Also strict observance recom mended of fire limit Ordinance. Pro vide and enforce ordinance to prevent maintenance of accumulation of rub bish in buildings, i. e.. throughout basements, areas, etc., within the mer cantile district. Provide electric ordi nance to govern construction of out side power and light wiring, and in terior work, and a city electrical in spector. License electrical contrac tors. As rapidly as possible, replace all overhead wires except trolley wires, and other apparatus, in under ground conduits. Provide natural gas ordinance for testing of house con nections, and prevention of use of rubber tubes. It would seem feasible that all large-value risks be provided with stem keys, readily accessible to operate main cut-offs to the natural gas supply. Respectfully submitted, E. R. TOWNSEND. Engineer.

PASSTHROUGHTOPEKA Will Give City a Direct Line to Portland on Union Pacific. Other Items of Interest in Rail way Circles. One of the biggest undertakings in the line of through service is about to be launched by the Harriman interests. Topeka will be benefited by the service for it will bring one more train through the city, a fast through train on the Union Pacific, and will give Topeka a through train to the Northwest, on which passengers can ride without a change of cars. The train will be established April i and will make a through service from St. Louis to Denver. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland and the Northwest. Topeka will also benefit to tne extent of an additional train each way. New equipment, of the best modern type, consisting of all steel sleeping ana chair cars, electric lighted and steam heated, is being built. Twenty new coaches will go into commission on tne new route, and the train will be in every respect of a character to accord with the importance of the innovation. lhe route will, in the opinion of op erating and traffic officials be the short est in existence from St. Louis to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Portland. As the roadbed and rails are in superb condition, they feel that the service will assure, from standpoints of safety, comfort and speed, general excellence. The Train's Schedule. Trains will leave St. Louis and the three centers on the Pacific coast daily. The departing time from St. Louis will be 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon. Passen gers will arrive in Kansas City at 9:55 o ciock tne same night, at Topeka at 10:20 p. m., at Denver at 5:20 o'clock the next afternoon, and at San .Fran cisco, Los Angeles and Portland at 8 o'clock in the evening of the third day. The trains will leave San Francisco and Los Angeles at 10 o'clock in the morn ing and Portland at 9 o'clock in the morning, reaching Topeka at 9:10 a. m.. arriving at St. Louis at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the third day. No change from one train to another will be made at any point en route. First class sleeping car passengers, entering the train at St. Louis, will not be oblig ed to get off until they reach their des-. tinatlons, whether they are going to Denver, Portland, Los Angeles or San Francisco. No Change of Cars. The train leaving St. Louis daily, which will comprise three coaches, will run solid to Denver, one standard sleep ing car going through to Los Angeles. Between Denver and Green River, pas sengers for San Francisco will move from one car into another, without leaving the train, and between Denver and Granger, passengers for Portland will move from one car into another, without leaving the train. In this way the service will be through, literally, as travelers will not debark at any junction between the Mississippi river and the Pacific coast. The final achievement of daily through service from St. Louis to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Portland is the result of a traffic arrangement be tween the Wabash and the Union Pa cific. The route is practically the same as that of the Overland Limited and the Los Angeles Limited; in fact, passen gers using this train from St. Louis will be afforded all the conveniences of those limited trains from Cheyenne, Wyo., west. Route of New Service. From St. Louis to Kansas City, the tracks of the Wabash will be used; from Kansas City through Topeka and to Ogden, the track of the Union Pa cific: from Ogden to Salt Lake, the tracks of the Oregon Short Line; from Green River to Portland, the tracks of the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railroad Navigation company; from Ogden, Utah, to San Francisco, the tracks of the Southern Pacific, and from Salt Lake to Los Angeles, the tracks of the San Pedro, Los- Angeles Salt Lake. Extraordinary significance is attached to the plan because a new gateway to the west and to the Northwest will be opened for travelers from the south and the east. Heretofore a considerable per- j centage of the traffic has moved through Chicago, even from .points of origin in the southeast, because through trains have been operated from that gateway and only through cars from St. Louis. FOR NEW EQUIPMENT. New York Central Will Expend Eight Million Dollars. New York. March 6. President W. C. Brown of the New York central tn the Morning Try a Charcoal Lozenger and a Glass of AVater If Your Breath Is Foul and Your Month Tastes Bad. Immediately upon arising in the morning, .should you have a bad breath and a disagreeable taste in your mouth, try a charcoal lozenger. Simply chew the lozenger up as you would so much candy and drink a glass of water, washing it down into the stomach in this manner. The ef fect is almost magical. The mouth becomes sweet and the breath pure and fragrant in a. very short time. After a few days you will notice that your stomach is digesting food much better. All traces of gases and and sour stomach will disappear, and the perfect assimilation promoted by a healthy stomach will build up strength and muscle, and your bad breath and coated tongue will be a thing, of the past. Give Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges a trial, results are assured, and posi tively no bad effects can arise from the use of charcoal. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made of young willow wood charcoal and pure, fresh honey, taken direct from the bee hive. You may eat all "you want, give them to every member of the family.

In this Instance the pipe broke off the front nd of the main reservoir, and engineer made repairs by cutting a piece of pipe out of the reservoir with a chisel and filling threads on the part that remained, doing the work while on a siding waiting for an opposing train. WELL BENEFIT TOPEKA. Missouri Pacific Will Run Train Here From Cartilage. Pittsburg, Kan., March 6. Through the efforts of President Llepman and members of the Commercial club an other passenger train has been assured for Pittsburg over the Misslurl Pacific. The matter has been under consid eration for some time past and all in dications are now favorable for the early installation of a -train to be run from Carthage to Topeka every day. One train each way will be run over the line from Carthage to Fort Scott and on to Topeka. Just when the train "will be put on has not been definitely" announced but it will be some time during the present month. The new train will be quite an accommodation to the residents both north and southeast of the city. This will mean the extension of the present Topeka-Fort Scott service to Pittsburg.

Bradstreet's says: "Weather irregularities and tariff and price revision uncertainties com bine in making a rather quiet tone in trade and industry, pending clearer views of these and winter wheat crop possibilities. The trade reports come from the central west and southwest, and In those sections jobbing trade shows moderate improvement as do collections. "The urgent need of rain in Texas is accentuated this week, while in the rest of the south business is still rath er dull. At large eastern markets trade with first hands is in a between seasons condition and a slight decrease in re tail demand has been interfered with by a severe storm along the eastern seaboard. "Most activity with some complaint of delayed deliveries is noted in the finer lines of dress goods and women's wear goods are in more favorable posi tion than men's wear fabrics. "In millinery there is a good business doing. Agricultural implements and supplies are displaying continued good movement. Cuts in iron and steel have as-yet brought out only a moderate amount of business. Some low prices are being made in Competitive terri tories. Structural material is more ac tive, but new buying is confined largely to rails, which have not been cut. Iron production is very large, some wage reductions are already announced. Southern hard cotton yarn manufac turers have decided on a one-third cur tailment of output. The shoe leather trades are quieter, though manurac turers are busy on orders for the form er. Prices of desirable leather are firm and large imports with good sales of foreign wool are noted. Collections are irregular and not better than fair as a whole. "Business failures in the United States for the week ending with March 4, were 219, against 244 last week, 287 in the like week of 1908, 172 in 1907, 177 In 1906 and 190 in 1905. "Canadian failures for the week number 33, which compares with 40 last week and 49 in the like week of 1908. "Wheat, Including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending March 4. aggregate 2,956, 977 bushels, against 2,041,591 last week and 2.953,908 this week last year.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 6, 1909. Tfmlr bnj Its first glimpse of E. H. c it niirht This Is important because he is recognized as one of the greatest if not the greatest wi6u" speaking actor on the stage. His po- elt! on is as much of a fixture as Is the earth itself. Therefore it goes w'tho"1 saying that his interpretation of the role of the silly, inane Dundreary was a finished piece of act- lDNow as to the play itself. It has stood the test of 50 years and that is as good a recommendation as any pro- duction couia nave uu 7 ous to say the least, to dissent from tota verdict. But if "Our American Cousin" had been given Its init ial pro duction last year instead of 60 years ago it would have been P"0""0 flat failure and even E. H. 3." could not have saved it.

FILLS A GROWING NEED Topeka is not only on the verge of a building boom, this summer, in a com mercial way, but is rapidly growing and expanding her manufacturing and Industrial interests as well. Much ac tivity along these lines is being shown nearly every day, by some new concern or other. Hardly a day passes that some inauiry does not reach the Com mercial club, asking, information and assistance In regard to sites, buildings, etc. However, such interest is not un deserved, for. as the new city directory Topeka to be a city of actually 53,000 people, the new buildings, factories and homes must necessarily toiiow. One of the fastest growing and thrlv tng concerns of the city today, is one which has been built irom the ground up and which is assuming broader pro portions every day. It ia the Central Cycle and Supply company at 716 Kan sas avenue. The present quarters, which are really very much too small, are about 12x150 feet. It has developed today that Mr. D. B. Simpson, the pro Trietor. contemplates enlargement on an extensive scale, in the very near fu ture. As It Is, however, there is probably no larger business in matter of volume, of this nature in the state. The repair department does every class of work pertaining to bicycle and motorcycle reDairing. Almost every stage of con struction work can be handled by their present facilities.- KudDer tires can De vulcanized in such a way, as to vir tually make new tires of them.

Associated Press Report Comes From Washington via Atlanta. Washington, March 6. The suburban roads about Washington are strewn with fallen telegraph and telephone poles, broken in two, and wires either in a network on the ground or dangling irom nottering poles. The Associated Press report from Washington is being received from and sent to the whole country on a single wire circuit oy way oi Atlanta, ua. 111 Isiffl !i 1 Jl i WWWW MAx-T JrfJmM'f EXPERT IS A WOMAN. Mrs. A. E. Brown Who Handles Mutilated Bills at Washington. Washington, March 6. One of the most interesting departments in the United States government is the treas ury, and one branch of this which is of particular interest is that for the redemption of burned or mutilated currency. The chief of this department is Mrs. A. E. Brown. She is a woman of cul ture and refinement, and would grace any society. She has been connected with this department for 34 years, and has become very expert in her work. There is received in this department an average of $1,000,000 per day, but only the worst of it reaches Mrs. Brown, for there are others all ex perts who do this work. But when bills are received so mutilated that they baffle the skill of all the others, they are turned over to Mrs. Brown and her two able assistants, who work in a quiet corner of the treasury build ing not accessible to visitors, and there ft l f V----' pi Mrs. A. E. Brown, Expert in Identifying Mutiiai ijepartment. with an untiring patience they work sometimes for several days on one bill, but when it is fully identified their re ward is ample, for they feel that, in a sense, they are benefactors, for often their identification means very much to the owner, sometimes the savings of years, that have been secreted in some place that was thought to be se cure, but proved to be very hazard ous. Mrs. Brown can give many ex amples that have come to her knowl edge that are very interesting. She tells an interesting incident of a man in one of the southern states, who had lost confidence in banks, and buried $10,000 in bills in a tin pail. After several years he dug it up, but found that the pail had rusted and the cover had become separated from the pail, and he could find nothing that looked like money; but at last he found a hard lump resembling clay. He concluded that it must be his treas ure, so he sent it to Washington, and after several daj-s of careful work they identified and secured for him $9,975. Another incident that came under her observation was that of a sailor who did his banking with a leather belt that he wore constantly around his body. When he drew his pay he opened the belt and deposited therein what he did not want to use. When he wanted more money than he had with him, he opened it and took some out, but kept no record of either transaction. After some years he quit the sea and concluded to take his money and go into business. When he opened his belt, to his dismay, he found that the heat and moisture from his body had so decomposed his bills that it was impossible for him to sep arate them or to tell anything about how much he had. So. feeling sure that he would be perfectly safe to say there was $600, he sent it on to this department, stating that there was that amount, but after careful inves tigation they got out for him $1,850 much to his delight. The amount paid on this mutilated currency is restricted, so that over payment is impossible. If three-fifths of a note is received, it is redeemable at its face value. If less than three fifths and more than two-fifths, at half its value, but affidavit must be made that the rest is destroyed, and the character of the person must be vouched for toy reputable parties. No currency is redeemed unless some part of it is sent into the treasury. Ours is the only government that thus re deems Its moneys. In this work they do not try to fit the pieces together to make the whole bill, but take some feature of the bill that only occurs once, like a word, a signature or some particular point and as many as they can find of these de cides the number of the bills. Despite the fact that the anti cigarette law went into effect with the publication of the law in the Topeka State Journal Friday, a few bargains may yet be secured from owners of stocks who are anxious to close them out immediately. The board of county commissioners has approved the bonds offered by the city and county assessors and the men appointed will immediately commence their duties. The March term of the federal court will convene in Wichita Monday and. will take a number of Topeka at torneys to that city for a brief stay.

Criminal statistics, compiled by Sec retary of State Koenlg from the rec ords of county clerks throughout the state for submission to the legislature, show an Increase during 1908 of 1,822 convictions for crimes over the figures for the preceding year. The number in 1908 was 7,354, as against 5.529 in 1907. During the same period there has been a noticeable falling off in ar rests and convictions for intoxication. In 1907 18,476 persons were sent to prison for drunkenness. Last year 1 7,779 were Imprisoned for that of fense. There were 1,775 convictions for burglary and 1,439 for larceny in the entire state last year. This is 604 more burglaries and 64 more larceny convic tions than the year before. Secretary Koenig blames it on the hard times. Of the total number of burglaries 715 were reported from New York, "274 from Brooklyn, and 222 from Erie county. Erie county shows 1.138 women convicted of crime, New York cornea next with 580, Monroe reports 306, and Kings county (Brooklyn) only 233. Nearly all trades and professions, from actor to wrestler, are represented in the convictions. The reports show that 11 actors and 2 actresses were convicted. Albany dispatch to New York Times.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAL SATURDAY EVENING. MAHCH 6, 1909. ENDOrTHEPILLS" Cigarette Dealers Packing Their Stocks Today. Law Prohibiting Their Sale Is in Effect. HAD LARGE STOCKS. One With 75,000 Shelves. on His Another Had Unpacked Fresh Supply on Friday. The new drastic anti-cigarette law unexpectedly went into effect last evening -upon its publication in the State Journal and nearly all dealers of cigarettes and cigarete papers hur riedly boxed 'their stocks with the re sult that empty show cases and shelves confronted the visitor this morning. The law was not unannounced for all dealers saw its heraldry in the pa pers at the time of its passage, but it was unexpected to all but a few and stocks of the forbidden form of the narcotic were taken from shelves cases and show windows to be boxed uo without even time for an invoice; but near estimates show large quanti ties to have been on hand and that is the foundation of any criticism tne the dealers have for the severe measure. It was the supposition of the cigar and cigarette men that they were to be given the same consideration as were the liquor or drug dealers in re gard as to the time when the liquor law should go into effect. The liquor law provides that it shall go into ef fect after its publication in tne statute book about June 1, and gives the deal ers ample time to dispose of their stock, but the cigarette law provides that it shall go into effect as soon as published in the official state paper. Promptly Signed, Promptly Published. The only hope for time then rested in the action of the governor in sign ing the bill. By delaying his signature for some weeks or months the cigar ette men would have had opportunity to dispose of their goods as had the liquor men. That is the little note of dissatisfaction sounded along the line this morning, yet as could be learned no representative of the business had called on the governor to state that side of the case. Law a Drastic One. The three sections ofthe law which have proven a sensation in Topeka to day follow: Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, company or corporation to sell or give away any cigarettes or cigarette pa pers or to have any cigarettes or ciga rette papers in or about any store or other place for free distribution, or sale. Section 2. Every minor person who shall smoke or use cigarettes, cigars or tobacco In any form on any public road, street. alley, park or other lands used for public purposes, or in any public place of busi ness, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished for each offense by a fine of not more than 10.00, and every person who shall furnish cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form to such minor person, or who shall per mit such minor person to frequent any premise owned, held or managed by him, for the purpose of Indulging in the use of cigarettes, cigars or tobacco in any form, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than Twenty-five nor more than One Hundred dollars. Section 3. Every person, company or corporation violating any of the provi sions of Section 1 of this act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be fined not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars. Xo Cut In Price. Mr. J. T. Price, proprietor of the Smoke House, after talking of the like lihood of the governor's signature with others of the dealers telephoned to the governor's secretary shortly before press time of the State Journal and learned that the law was going to be printed Friday. Word went like wildfire but no sensational riddances of good cigar ettes at ridiculous prices were execu ted at any of the shops. Smokers of the "coffin nails" who refused to buy when advised to by the dealers expect ing to -reap a gladsome harvest when they could prey upon the stocks of their friends in distress. But there was no distress and instead of a mad rush to get rid of his "pills" they were simply dragged to the rear and prepared for shipment back to kinder climes. Kxcluding the firms of Parkhurst uavis ana tne .ie-ora-visiier company, wholesale dealers, the largest holders of theforbidden smoke were C.S.Eagle and Geo. Burghart, who retail from their cigar stores as well as do a jobbing bus iness in connection with their cigar traae. Forty Thousand in One Stock. I Mr. Burghart had Just received a con signment of cigarettes worth several hundred dollars and his stock was up to about 4U,uuu. xnese were never un packed but the rest are all packed and set up with those for return to the fac tories. I'Oh, I do not mind the law," said Mr. Burghart. "I believe it is a good thing. This business of minors inhaling cigarette smoke is a detriment to health and the smell of a cigarette is sickening. As to the business side cf it, why there is not much profit in carrying the line. It is so well controll ed by the trust that our margin has been cut to a few per cent where busi ness is but a pastime; but we have had to keep them for the demand was in creasing every day. That is where they had ua. "Now I believe the sale of cigars will increase, and the fancy tobaccos for pipes will take the place of cigarettes. There will be no loss on the commodity for most buying is done with the priv ilege of a return and buying direct from the factories insures us that all unbro ken boxes will be accepted as credit." In anticipation of the bill going into effect very soon, Mr. Eagle had al lowed his supply to dwindle down somewhat but still had a stock of 75,000 cigarettes. "1 presume," said he, "that the increased sale of cigars and manufacturers goods, pipes, etc., wiil -save any great loss in trade, still wo have been doing a $5,000 cigarette business every year. The fault I have to express is in regard to the sudden ness with which the law was put into effect. Why should not we have had as much right -to dispose of our stock as have liquor men? I doubt very much if the law is constitutional any way. Smoke Houses Suffer. Mr. J. T. Price of the Smoke House expresses the most dissatisfaction with the law and its method. He said: "It looks like an imposition to me a snat judgment. Of course know that mere boys buy cigarettes somewhere, but not here. W hen boy the size of these messenger boys for instance come in here and tell us they want cigarettes for some man, w send them right out for an order from that man. They do not come back but probably get the cigarettes some where. There is a great demand for that form of a smoke in this business and my cigarette sales have equalled the sale, of ciErars." Rut It is under stood that there is a small margin of profit on them, he was told. "There is a good margin when they are pur chased in large quantities direct from the factories." he corrected. He, also, had allowed his supply to run low and had onlv about 6,000 left. The Tromp Smoke house had some 17.000 of the tabooed "nails" lert on their hands and hundreds of drug stores and other shops had small stocks remaining. All are confident that the wholesalers from whom they bought will take back their goods for credit and likely they will, but a great amount comes from Kansas (Jity, Missouri now has a similar cigarette law not yet in effect, but what will they do when Kansas unloads on them and they have to push the load onto somebody else. Some trouble may yet be encountered in disposing of all the roods in Kansas City. The clause of Sec 2 "or who .shall nermit such minor person to frequent anv premise owned, neia or managea bv him. for tne purpose oi inauiging in the use or cigarettes, cigars or 10- baco in any form" is being made the butt of most of the criticism. "It hai now become our duty," said one business man, if we see a boy smokine, whether in our office or our back yard, no matter whose boy he may be, to nab him Dy tne nape oi tne neck." Whether misconstructions are made or -whether nrosecutions are not en forced are matters of the future, but today it seems that the stooping youth with yellow finger tips and a cigarette hanging In a weary sort or way irom the corner or his moutn will not De in evidence in the future. SLOW HAND SHAKER. PAY $100,000 FOR HOME The AVickershama Secure a Residence in Washington. Taft Can't Approach Record 3Iade by Roosevelt. Have you a team and rig? Then START IN BUSINESS for Yourself; without Capital Washington, March 6. President Taft today considered the future exist ence of the national conservation com mission. This question was raised by an amendment to an appropriation bill and the members of the joint- com mittee on co-operation, which includes Senators Nelson of Minnesota, and Milton of Florida, representing the conservation commission and Gover nors Willson, of Kentucky, Deneen, of Illinois, and former Governor Pardee, of California, representing the state organizations, took up the questions with Mr. Taft to ascertain his con struction of the amendment. The position of the joint commission is that congress has no jurisdiction to legislate the commission out of exis tence, in view of the fact- that it is an advisory board appointed by the ex ecutive and serving without compensa tion. The members of the Union League club of Brooklyn presented President Taft today with a bronze tablet on which was engraved the farewell words of Abraham Lincoln. In welcoming his many visitors to the White house today. Mr. Taft re marked that although he had come in like a lion having reference to the blizzard on the 4th of March he hoped to go out like a lamb. It is observed that President Taft has not yet struck the stride in hand shaking that Mr. Roosevelt had ac quired. President Taft insists on hear ing the full name of the person intro duced and seems in no hurry to pass him along and grasp the next hand. Observers who have seen both men in action, say that Mr. Roosevelt would shake one hundred hands in the time it takes Mr. Taft to meet ten persons. Collectively and individually the nine members of the Philippine commis sion through Governor General Smith have sent to President Taft heartiest greetings and best wishes for a pros perous and happy administration. The governor general alfo sent to the secretary of war for transmission to the president a resolution adopted March 4. by both houses of the Philip pine legislature expressing admiration and respect for the president, coupled with the wish that his administration may abound with all kinds of bless ings and benefits for the Americans and for the Philippine people. A pre amble to the resolution recites that the establishment of the civil government in- the Philippine islands, the inaugur ation of a Philippine national elective assembly and the right now enjoyed by the Filipinos to participate directly in the making of their own laws, were brought about through the efforts, ability and energy of Mr. Taft.

When John Sharp Williams, for six years minor ity leader, left the house to rest two years before coming to the senate, he did not take with him any memento of the esteem in which his fellow members held him. It was not the members' fault, however. They com missioned an artist at a fancy- price to paint a portrait of the noted Mis sissippi statesman, but the product was so disappointing none had the heart to present it. "I know I am not handsome," com mented Mr. Williams as he looked at the portrait, "but they could not have done worse if they had been painting a ham."

6 THE TOPEEA DAILY STATS JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 6, 1909. AGREEJO QUIT. Senate Finally Agrees to Ad journ March 12. Date as Originally Fixed by the House. SAVE THE BALD EAGLE Hereafter It Will Be Unlawful to Kill Them. Stone Bridge Bill Is Passed in the Senate. Another change of mind by the senate before supper time last night settles the question of the date of final adjournment of the state legislature. The date Is now definitely fixed by both houses for 6 p. m. Friday, March 12. The senate at first declined to con cur in the house amendments to the adjournment resolution, which amend ments fixed the date at March 12. The senate turned down the house amend ment and eot ud a brand new reso lution to adjourn Wednesday, March 10. But the house "stood pat" on its amendments and declined to concur in. the senate proposition to adjourn Wednesday. Believing that the mem bers of the house would stay in session all summer before they would accede to the wishes of the senate, the latter body decided to adopt the resolution as amneded by the house. This resolution, known as the "Skiddoo" resolution because of Its being No. 23, provides that both houses cease consideration of their own bills, excepting appropriation measures, at midnight tonight; cease consideration of all bills and messages from each other at midnight Mon day, March 8, and adjourn finally next Friday, March 12, at 6 p. m. The real work of the session, how ever, will close Monday night when consideration of all bills ceases. The state senate should be given at least one credit mark, even by its severest critics, for the passage of Senator Stannard's bill No. 601 to protect the "haliaeetus leucoceptha lus" Friday afternoon. This is not a disease nor a new brand of cigarettes; it Is the polite, or parlor, name for the bird commonly known as the Amer ican or "bald" eagle. A preamble to the bill recites that unless this bird is protected the American eagle will become extinct in this state and the bill makes It un lawful for any person to kill or take into captivity any eagle or member of the bird family known as haliaeetus loucocepthalus." A penalty of from $10 to $25 fine is fixed for violations of the act. The discussion of this bill produced several facetious remarks. Senator Travis wanted to know if the bill would be retroactive. "The only one 1 know of," he said, "who has been guilty of depredations on the Amer ican eagle is the senator from Butler (Leidy), who on two occasions has Jerked out the tall feathers of the bird on the floor of the senate." Senator Leidy raised a laugh by stat ing that 'the words "haliaeetus leuco- oepthalus," referred to "bald-headed bird from Allen county (Senator Travis.. Senator Travis retorted that he thought the bill "ought also to include the old bald-headed bird from Saline county. (Quincy). These personal sallies produced much laughter for the hair on the heads of both senators Travis and Quincy is so infrequent, that their colleagues declare they have to tie a string around their heads to tell how far up to wash their faces. The bill was finally put to a vote and passed by 26 to 8. One of the important bills passed by the senate late Friday afternoon was S. B. No. 537, by the committee on cor porations, the principal new feature of which is to permit the organization of corporations for the purpose of buying, selling and holding real estate. Senator Hodges' bill. No. 329, provid ing for the construction of concrete and stone bridges, was another of the im portant measures passed by the sen ate. The bill requires county and city authorities to construct bridges and culverts, of concrete or stone, in every case where the bridge can be built at a cost not exceeding 130 per cent of the cost of a steel bridge. The house rock roads bills, H. B. No. S40, by the committee on roads and highways, was finally passed by the sen ate yesterday afternoon. The bill has already passed the house, but the sen ate struck out several sections of the bill which have already been enacted in other good roads bills and this measure will have to be sent back to the bouse for concurrence in the amendments. The vote in the senate on the final passage of the bill stood 26 to 4. Senators Avery, Cambern, Smith and Leidy, voting in the negative. The house dairy commissioner bill, H. B. No. 4S9, by the committee on live stock was substituted for the senate bill and passed by the senate. This bill provides for a state dairy commission er and deputies to be appointed by the regents of the agricultural college and prescribes rules and regulations for the supervision of ail matters connected with the dairy industry in the state. Senator Hamilton's bill authorizing city authorities to construct high pres sure systems for fire protection was passed by the senate prior to adjourn ment late Friday afternoon. Senator Huffman introduced the bill providing for the erection in To peka of a historical building at a cos of $200,000. Under suspension of the rules the bill was advanced to second reading. Senator Stannard objected to advancing the bill to third read ing and the bill was ordered printed and placed on the calendar. The senate adopted the report of the conference committee relative to 3. B. No. 163. Senator Quincy's as sessment bill, amending the present laws relating to county assessors and methods of making assessments. Sen ators Quincy and Stavely were the senate conferees on the bill. The bill as it came from conference leaves the state tax commissioners appointive as at present; provides for the election of county assessors, in counties over 12,000. The county assessors are done away with in counties of less than 12, 000 population, and the county clerk is designated as assessing officer In such counties. This is regarded as one of the most important of the tax laws of the session. Among other bills finally passed by the senate were the following: j g.. B. No. 604, by Hamilton; re quiring the approval of the board of control before a charter can be issuea to a corporation organized for the purpose of caring for dependent or de linquent children. Substitute for S. B. No. 430 by judi ciarv committee: defining false pre tenses and providing penalties for that offense. H. B. No. 184, by Feder; to protect furniture in hall of representatives. Substitute for S. B. No. 196. by com mittee on agriculture; providing for the regents of the state agricultural college to import, buy and distribute seed wheat and to promote wheat H. B. No. 447, by Allen; relating to appointment of municipal officials in cities of the first class. S. B. No. 441. by Leidy; authorizing establishment of free kindergartens. S. B. No. 546, by Hamilton; relating to construction of levees through first clsissv citif9 At 6:20 p. m. the senate adjourned until 10 a. m. today. UNION OF FORTUNES. Miss llarriman and Robert Goelet lie. ported Engaged. San Antonio, Texas, March 6. San Antonio society folk are deeply inter- ester in the doings of Miss Mary Har riman and Robert Goelet, who, have been much thrown together since-Mr. Harriman left New York for his southern trip. It is generally believed that their engagement will be an nounced shortly after their return to New York. Harriman and Goelet Fortunes May Be United. It Is Rumored That Miss Harriman is Engaged to Robert Goelet. Both Mr. Goelet and Miss Harriman admit that they are very, very dear friends. Neither has been very stren uous in making any denial or rumors. Mr. Harriman is of the opinion that it is none of the public s business even if his daughter is engaged. Other members of the party are. however, fostering the belief that an engage ment exists and that Mr. Goelet will before long become an important fig ure in the Harriman railroad proper ties. Goelet has been made a direc tor of the Illinois Central and it is understood that when the railway elections ara held young Goelet will be placed on the directory of other lines. SENATORS SHIFT SEATS. Bristow, Root and Burton Locate in "Cherokee Strip." Washington, March 6. The change in the Republican membership of the Sixty-first congress caused quite a shifting about. Some of the Re publican senators because of the un even division of parties, have been seated in what is known as the "Cherokee strip" a portion of the Democratic side on the extreme right of the vice president in which new senators are located. Senators Cum mins, Borah, Page. Brown, Briggs, Bourne, Burkett, Dixson and Guggen heim, who had occupied seats there, were given an opportunity to remove to the Republican side where they are now seated. Senator Elkins moved to the front row on the Republican side, occupying the seat of Senator Piatt. Senator Owen on the Democratic side, moved into Senator Daniel's seat, also in the front row, the senator from Virginia having moved one seat nearer to the center in the place vacated by Mr. McCreary. Senators Root, Burton and Bristow were given places in the "Cherokee strip," where, among other senators of the majority they are separated from the main body of their Re publican colleagues. The names of Senator Hopkins of Illinois, and Sen ator Stephenson of Wisconsin are not on the roll and the name of Mr. Knox has been taken off in view of the statement by Mr. Penrose who yester day called attention to the fact that his colleague had sent his resignation to the governor of Pennsylvania. RAILROAD MAN DEAD. V. Blythe of the Burlington, Vic tim of Heart Disease. Des Moines, la., March 6. -J. W. Blythe of Burlington, Iowa, general counsel of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railway, dropped dead this morning at Wapello, a country place near here, while hunting. Mr. Blythe was 59 years old. Mr. Blythe went to his lodge at Wapello yesterday with a party of friends for a shooting trip. Just after he left the club house today he was seized with an attack of heart disease and fell dead. He was administrator for the estate of C. E. Perkins, former president of the Burlington system, and son-in-law of tJ?(f late ex-Senator John Clear. ILL GRINDS ON.

By Morrison, providing that gas and oil leases shall be assessed in the townsnip in which thev are situated. isy juawaros, to protect the Ameri can Dam eagle.

By Guilbert, to provide for the extermination of prairie dogs. By uunnmgnam, authorizing the secretary of the State Historical so ciety to appoint two adaitional library assistants. Friday morning the house killed the bill by Cron providing that school districts or cities may by vote de cide to buy school books and furnish them free to the schools of their city or district, and then in the afternoon resurrected the corpse and passed the bill. This was one of the most im portant bills considered Friday, as it in a measure provides for free school books where the people of the district so desire. This opening wedge may result in a state printing of text books two years from now, or it may kill that issue, depending entirely on how the Cron plan works. Of course the senate may kill the Cron bill. The bill by the committee on live stock creating the office of dairy com missioner is an important measure. It prescribes rules and regulations for the education of Kansas dairymen and producers of dairy products and regulates the production, sale and shipment of milk, cream, butter and cheese, provides for the inspection of creameries, dairy barns and utensils, and generally requires cleanliness and sanitation in the handling of all dairy products in the interest of the good health of the consumers. The house did business at the old stand Friday night and went through the 57 local bills on the calendar like an X-ray. All of these bills were cleaned up and ten others taken from general orders and placed In the omni bus and carried on one roll call. These added to the 25 bills passed during the day gave the house a record of pass ing nearly one hundred bills in one day. There was plenty of excitement at the night session. Hutchinson of Wyandotte caught a bill on the fly as it was passing through ana hurled it back to the scrap heap. Hutchinson was dramatic about it, too. The bill by Case of Dickinson pro viding for a registration fee of 50c on each $100 on mortgages of real prop erty and for their exemption from tax ation after being recorded was passed by the house after the hottest kind of a fight. Speaker Dolley led the bill through the wilderness and his old enemy of the utilities bill fight, Davis of Kiowa, ably seconded him, also White of Ottawa. Carpenter of Lyon, Buckman, Cunningham, Ryan and others opposed the bill. It was a beautiful fight along en tirely new lines, as the friends of the past three weeks of legislative battle were divided while old enemies were fighting side by side. Ryan of Brown was hoarse and this temporary loss of speech prevented the old timer from Brown from making the effort of his life. He paced the aisles and used his arms in gestures in lieu of speech. The question of such wide differ ences of opinion on this bill seemed to lie 1n the fact that the opponents of the bill believed that it was drawn in the interests of the rich money lend ers while its friends declared that it was solely in the interest of that im portant personage, the Kansas farmer. A call or tne nouse was necessary to pass the bill. The same bill had passed the senate, so the house sub stituted the senate bill.

Mr. Figman has established himself as a sincere artist by his admirable portrayal of "The Man on the Box" and it is said that "The Substitute" will add mater ially to his reputation. It is a play that affords him opportunity to show himself as an actor of character as well as comedy. The scenic produc tion will be very elaborate and Mana- utation by his work in staging such successes as "The Ninety and Nine," "The Wife," "The Charity Ball," and many other noteworthy productions.

Miss Roberts will appear In the new play by Seymour Obermer. called "The House of Bondage." This piece has already occasioned widespread com ment, through the boldness of its theme, which deals subsidiarily with the ethics of the medical profession with a love Interest, of course, predominating. Obermer is said to have written not only a play of tremendous originality and force, but one embodying cua logue of great rhetorical charm. It affords Miss Roberts' splendid emo tional gifts fullest sway, and also gives Manager John Cort an opportunity for a tasteful production whicn is maae the most of. The Clansman. This production, which has proba bly been discussed more than any oth er during the last ten years, will be be seen at the Grand. Friday nlgni, March 19. This clay is supported by a strong cast this season, and notwith standing the fact that it has been seen here several times will prove a strong attraction for local theatergoers. "Buster Brown." For Saturday night, March 20, the management of the Grand has secured as its attraction "Buster Brown," the master success of the year in the field of musical comedy. "Buster Brown" needs no Introduction, for we all know his face all the children have worn clothes fashioned after him. It needs only be said therefore that this is a third and all new edition or the com edv in every feature. The scenery. costumes, music and songs are epic and span with newness, while the cast, headed bv the little chap who fairly exudes mirth. Master Rice, is away ahead of any yet seen we are prom ised. "Buster Brown" should be large ly welcomed. At the Majestic. The bill at the Majestic theater for next week is an exceptionally strong one, and is probably the strongest which has been seen at this popular nlavhouse for some time. The fea ture act is Mile. Somerville and her ten thousand dollar horse, "Colum bus." The horse executes such move ments as a waltz, two-step,- buck dance, pasamala, high step cake walk trot and side canter, and backward canter, being the only horse in exist-onf-A which can do these tricks. We- nona and Francis, two of, the best rifle shots in the world have been secured and will prove a strong card. They offer a challenge of five thousand dol lars for their equal. This is the same rifle team that featured with Buffalo Ttm on his FuroDean trip.

What promises to be one of the most delightful vaudeville bills of the season has been provided for next week at the Novelty theater. Heading the program will be the famous World's Comedy Four, a male quartet that has won the highest praise all over the Orpheum and other high class circuits of the country. This is said to be one of the best singing or ganizations in vaudeville and in addi tion to Its vocal abilities the company offers a splendid comedy entertain ment. Another feature that is herald ed as a top-liner will be George Evers and his boys in a great comedy black face act. A distinct novelty will be offered by Ernie and Mildred Potts, who will present their bag punching and dancing specialty and Inness and Ryan will be seen In thetr clever sing ing and comedy act.

Although the Kansas Dav Tubercu losis appeal to clubs and citizens en countered Inclement weather, yet the cry was heard, for reports are coming in or work done ana runds sent to Dr. Van Horn, secretary of the State Asso elation for the Study and Prevention or 'lniDerculosis. As necessary a money is to the prosecution of the work, yet tho In terest awakened in the publin mind, its attention upon so vital a suhject, Is of primary importance, hence the appeal to the club women of Kansas for their help and co-operation. The pluckiest thing of which we have learned, was the effort of fair young ladies of Leavenworth who, as a committee from their club, went forth in the Kansas blizzard on Jan. 29th, and took in $120 for the Tuber culosis association.

There are many women's organi zation In the town. By uniting they have formed a strong city federation of twenty different organizations. The federation started a movement for a Carnegie library building. They were organized in September last and soon had Mr. Carnegie's promise for $10, 000. January 29th. the election car ried three to one in favor of the free public library and tax to maintain it. The mayor appointed six ladies (half the board) on the library board. This work finished, the Goodland federation voted to take up the work of beauti fying and improving the city. Com mittees to secure flower seeds for dis tribution, to formulate plans for prizes and to have the city ordinances relat ing to cleanliness of the city printed in small folders to be distributed to every householder. These are a few of the things the city federation of Goodland will do, as the president, Mrs. Eva Murphy, remarks: "We shall do things in this town this spring and Bummer."

OLD LANDMARK RAZED. darter Harrison Home Will Give Way to Apartment Houses. Chicago, March 6. Another landmark Js being removed to make way for the modern apartment building. The old homestead of Carter H. Harrison, at one time considered one of the hand somest homes in the city, is in the hands of the wreckers. Not only was the old building the home of the Harrisons, but Mrs. Pot ter Palmer once lived there; it having been built by her father, H. H. Honore, ini-the early fifties. It also has been occupied by Samuel J. Walker, father of Judge Walker, and by members of the Kohlsaat family. The first Carter Harrison purchased the residence from H. H. Honore in 1S65 and the family used it almost con tinuously until 1872. At that time. Mr. Harrison was sent to congress and for several succeeding years the house was rented, the family being either in Washington or abroad. Afterward, however, it again became the family home. It was in the broad hallw-ay that Mr. Harrison, then mayor, was shot down by Pendergast on the closing day of the world s fair. William Preston Harrison announces that the entire property, will be covered with apartments. from Detroit, and immediately the claims of Detroit for the 1910 tournament will be advanced. From all appearances they will be success ful. Bowlers from Chicago will reach here tonight headed by the O'Leary fife and drum corps and O'Leary him self. The Chicago teams will begin play tonight. Local bowlers will take part in all events today, especially the single and double matches this afternoon. ENDS RUSSIAN TREATY. Defense Committee Asks Senate, to Terminate It. HE TRIES TO DROWN. Herbert Kggert Makes a Second At tempt at Suicide. San Francisco, March 6. A second attempt at suicide was made late yesterday afternoon by Herbert Hggert, formerly of Oshkosh, Wis., who shot himself in the head about a month, ago while on the steamer Queen as that vessel was entering San Francisco harbor. Eggert, who still wears a bandage over his wound threw himself into the bay from the Broadway where, on February 10, he was taken from the steamer in an apparently dying con dition. He was seen to Jump into the water and was soon fished out, uncon scious. Eggert. who is despondent over domestic troubles declares that lie will yet end his life. Eggert's father who was with him on the steamer Queen. committed suicide February 14. by shooting himself. OF XATIOXAIi IMPORTANCE. Xcw Feature Reached in Pittsburg's Big Bowling Tournament. Pittsburg. March 6. Beginning to day the ninth tournament of the American Bowling congress will as sume national importance. A spec ial train carrying 125 men and 14 howling teams will arive late today New York, March 6. The defense committee in the cause of Jan Pouren, the Russian refugee, whom the Rus sian government has been seeking to extradite, sent to the United States senate yesterday a petition asking that due notice be given to the Russian government of the termination of the extradition treaty made between Rus sia and the United States in 1893. The resolutions, according to the com mittee, will be presented by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin at the com ing extra session of congress. The petition says that under the present treaty, Russia may. require America to hold Russian refugees by the mere presentation of documents not even sworn to. It sets forth that Pouren has been imprisoned under the treaty for more than a year, pending a decision of his case on un sworn evidence which would be thrown out as incompetent in our courts. It is expected that the United States commissioner here will decide today on the new evidence offered by the defense conference. UNSETTLED MARKET. DisturlK-d Condition in Steel and Anthracite a Factor. New York, March 6. Some clear ing of conditions in the steel trade re lieved the week's stock market from its more violent unsettlement. The dealings fell into professional hands and the movement was narrow and irregular. The copper trade is much un settled still and reports of large new orders at higher prices and of heavy offerings in a collapsed market have alternated with effect on the copper industrials. The disturbed labor out look In the steel trade and in the anthracite mining regions is not relished. The presidential inauguration proved to have been discounted, but the subject of government- measures against corporations is kept in con sideration by the pending commodities case decision and by the restrictions on the Erie bond issue and the Spokane rate decision of the Inter state Commerce commission. DEMOCRATIC LOSS All But Two Candidates Stricken From Ticket. This Decision Made by City Council Last Night. WILL BE ENJOINED. Injunction Papers to Be Served on City Clerk Burge. He Hill Be Restrained From Printing New Ticket. Every Democrat, with the excep tion of W. F. Logan for mayor, and J J. Lannan for councilman, in the city of Topeka who was supposedly nomi nated for a city office in the last pri maries the first of the week, is declared ineligible by the board of canvassers selected by the city council last night. And when the councilmen made their report to the whole body a fight en sued which ended in a final declara tion of "ousting." The reason for this wholesale annihilation of candidates comes under the new primary laws passed upon by the state legislature Just two days before the Topeka elec tion. This new law required a can didate to receive 5 per cent of the vote cast for attorney general at the pre ceding general election last November. The old law simply asked for the highest number of votes. The city council decided last night that the election should have been conducted under the new law and the canvassing was based on this asser tion. There are also a number of Re publican candidates affected by the turn of the worm. S. R. Kutz, whose, name was written in for a First ward member of the school board, will be cast out of the race. Also the Repub lican precinct committeemen with the exception of O. K. Swayze of the sec ond precinct of the Fifth ward, will be barred from a new start. The above result was obtained after a very stormy session of the council last riight but this is getting to be an old story. Unless the city council meets under threatening clouds and endures a hurricane of some sort the aldermen go home with the idea that they have not accomplished anything. The fight started just after the report from the canvassing board was given to the council as a whole. Wiluam Van Ness and Councilman Stanley drew up a majority report in other words a per cent basis under the new law and prepared it for final passage. On the other hand Councilman Miller (Democrat) and Councilman Lannan (Democrat) withdrew from the board and hastily fixed up a minority report on the basis of the old law. When Mayor Green asked for the grand finale the two forces clashed and until 11 o'clock this fight was car ried on without a dry moment. At the first vote those who stood up for the Democratic ticket were Lannan (Dem.), Miller (Dem.), Fraser (Dem.) and Kutz (Rep.). This is the first time that a party fight has been car ried on in the council chamber for a number of years. A New Democrat. It might be mentioned here that a good clear case of "flop" was exhibit ed last night when C. H. Kutz, who ran for city treasurer on the Republi can ticket and who commanded a large number of the party votes, turn ed feather and made three long en thusiastic speeches for the Democrats in the council. In his speeches he re peatedly stood up for the rights of the Democrats in their actions and it was the biggest surprise of the season for the amazed councilmen. As one of the councilmen said after the meeting: "I was more than be wildered at the way Mr. Kutz acted in this matter. I know that he was a rip roaring Populist at one time and flopped to the Republican party, but I T npver flrcamftii that he would fierht 1 for the Democrats." Mr. Kutz might have seen something ahead in his ac tion and he might have really thought that he was in the right regardless of party lines but he talked more on the merits of the Democratic party last night than on the point of the ques tion. And when the council w-as "locked" on account of a four to four vote and Mr. Miller arose and settled the matter by changing the vote, Mr. Kutz still held out and he was the only alderman to stand out alone. If Mr. Miller had held out together with his party colleagues last night the council would have been fighting yet. But after the amendment to the mo tion for an adoption of the majority vote had been locked by the tie vote and thus had been lost Mr. Miller arose and informed the mayor and council that he would change his vote rather than allow the matter to get into such a rut but he warned the city that a lawsuit would take place if the final action was taken. As a result of the change the coun cil adopted the majority report of the canvassers and Mr. Van Ness and Mr. Stanley won their point. It might be mentioned that this is the first time Mr. Van Ness of the First ward really became excited over a measure of any kind. As a general rule he is a quiet, thoughtful, well-judged man and has nothing to say unless someone hints to him that a North Topeka improve ment will be severed then he is up in arms. Last night ne rivalled his honorable fellow alderman. Mr. Jor dan, in spirit and enthusiasm. Gen eral Hughes left just before the vote w-as taken or the! matter would have been settled at once and possibly in favor of the minority. Injunction Papers Coming. This matter was not settled last night, however. Today Mr. Miller is in constant consultation with lawyers tte C,ty and if 11 is Possible the city clerk will be enjoined from publishing the ticket without the names of the Democrats. This injunction will be served some time this evening. This is the second injunction suit opened up in the last week. The first one was f.8?"184 the State Journal on the pub lishing of a street naming ordinance. In explaining his action today Mr. Miller was in the same fever heat. He said: 'I think that it is altogether un fair for the city to act under a law made by the legislature but two davs before the primary election. We Democrats have been working under the old law and we have been guided by it all the way through. The Re publicans have also and the whole pri mary was conducted in this manner. This action of the council will not stop here. The city will have to prove it all to the courts." The majority of the councilmen did not catch the. excitement displayed by the Democrats they seemed more in terested in the eccentricity of their fellow Republican.. Mr. C. H. Kutz. to fightTtHdver.

Many members believe that the choice of a, successor to Mr. Sherman lies between Representative Tawney, chairman of j the committee on appropriations and Representative Mann of Illinois. Al-' though Mr. Sherman came from New York, the position is claimed by west ern members. Mr. Sherman succeeded General Grosvener of Ohio, and the western delegations claim it is high time that the plum be returned to them. While the speaker is a western man, it is urged as customary that the other two Republican members of the committee come one from the east and the other from the west.. Representative Dalzell or Pennsylvania is the eastern repre sentative. Taivney's Rise Phenomenal.. Mr. Tawney's rise in the house has been phenomenal. He has a powerful influence on the floor and it is urged that he would be a great strength to the committee. Most of all the speaker desires a parliamentarian who can de fend any rule on the floor of the house in an impressive and persuasive way. Representative Hann fills the qualizca tion very well, but the objection to him is that he comes from the speaker's own state. Messrs. Denby and Townsend of Mich igan, Smith of Iowa. Currier of New Hampshire, and Foster of Vermont, are regarded as possibilities. The selection of the Democratic mem bers will probably be left to Minority Leader Clark. It has been regarded as a desirable move to have the minority leader that member, but Mr. Clark can not take the position as long as Mr. De Armond of the same state, Missouri, remains on the committee. A plan has been devised by which Mr. Clark and Mr. Fitzgerald, regarded as one of the best parliamentarians on the Democrat ic side, will become the minority's rep resentative on the committee. As yet the plan has not been approved by all interested in it. THIS is the Chrome Steel Vault R H a i t.i i i n c t 11 Absolutely ourgiar iroor, in stalled for Your Protection.

Funcke was arrested after a tussle with a special policeman- In the night court a magistrate discharged the prisoner with a reprimand. -.There has been a noticeable decrease in the smoking in the stations since the passage of the new law. HE FAVORS A CHANGE. Speaker Cannon Would Like to Have Inauguration on May 1. Washington, March 6. Speaker Cannon of the house has declared himself in favor of changing the date of the presidential inauguration from March 4 to May 1, and added that, as one representative in congress, he would lend his aid in any effort to bring about this end. "I witnessed the dreadful weather conditions that prevailed in 1872," he said, "and I recall the Harrison in auguration with the soaking, chilling rainstorm, and the snow and icy gale at Cleveland's second inauguration. If the change of date is made it might as well- be fixed later than April. I should think May 1 would provide more certainty of fair weather." KAISER'S PORTRAIT.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALSATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 6, 1909. URCBES An Ontreaching Religion. The International Sunday-school Les son for March 7 Is, "Philip and the Ethiopian." Acts 8: 26-40. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. The reported death of the great Negus or Abyssinia, King Menelek links this old Bible story to present- day news. The Ethiopia of the New Testament episode is generally identi fied with Abyssinia, the country which a few years ago startled civilization by defeating the forces of Italy. Abys sinia is an old and proud nation, and nominally Christian. Its ruler claims descent not only from the Candace of the present lesson, but also from King Solomon. The outstanding character In the in cident which constitutes this Sunday school lesson is jthe prime minister of the queen of Ethiopia. The common Impression is the eunuchs are mere menial servants and palace messen gers. Quite the contrary is frequently the case, as in this instance. For fif teen years past one of the most potent figures in the national affairs of China has been a certain eunuch, who has been raised to princely rank. Probably the recent overthrow of Yuan Shi-Kai was in part due to this eunuch's reac tionary machinations. In winning Can dace's prime minister Philip achieved a distinct victory for Christianity. The Great Procession. The scene of this dramatic meeting between Philip and the eunuch was a desert place on the way between Jerusalem and Oaca. The spectacle makes an appeal to the imagination, for this eunuch was one of the prose lytes of the gate, believers In Judaism who was on his way from the temple at Jerusalem. Alone he was, except for his retinue, yet he was a part of the most significant procession of his day. From all parts of the known world devout Jews and converts made their way to and from the hill of Zion They were a multitude in number and an Influence beyond measure. Yet vastly greater is the procession which today goes up every Sabbath to the new Zion. the house of God, There is stimulus for one s faith in a contemplation of the innumerable host of men. In teeming cities and in desert highways, who are going to and from the church of the Christ whom Philip expounded to the Ethio plan. The modern Zion is represented by the stately cathedrals of Europe, by the New England meeting houses, by the great Christian temple in Ugan da, by churches in every heathen land, and men of all colors and races and conditions are following in the train of the Ethiopian church. Whoso has open eyes may see, like the servant of Israel's ancient prophet, a whole host of the army of God in procession to Zion. What a Person Reads. One unconsciously puts his fellow travelers into certain classifications by what he sees them reading. The kind of literature which engrosses one is a pretty clear index to- one's character, culture, and calibre. Even the social status of a stranger may be reasonably gauged by the kind of book which he is reading. It is Interesting to recall how a common book has brought to gether many of the best friends; a kinship of taste in literature is still one of the most delightful ties that bind friends. It was well for the eunuch that out on the desert, where nobody was at hand to pass judgment upon him, he did not Indulge in some, -furtive glimpses into the latest issue of the "Jerusalem Scandal-Monger." He was engrossed, rather, in reading a scroll of Holy Writ, thus employing his time to the best advantage. He knew the art of beguiling a Journey, and he used it as an opportunity for the culture of his best self. Many persons who travel are idle all the while; others, more careful of their time, plan that even the momentary passage through a tun nel shall minister to their spiritual de velopment. One of the most striking bits of recent magazine poetry ex pressed a worker's worship while rid ing in the New York Subway. Some persons carry pocket volumes of good literature in most cases, of course, the Bible Itself that they may thus minister to their spirits in moments of enforced leisure. The Hard Book. It may frankly be confessed that there is a great deal of cant in much that is said concerning the Bible. The advice is given indiscriminately to all classes of people to read the Bible, as If all parts of the Bible were alike en tertaining and inspiring, and all minds were fitted to extract profit from it. The truth is that the Bible in most places is a hard book to read. Bible reading is an acquired taste. Even those who do faithfully peruse the Scriptures do not always do so intel ligently. The class, to which the eunuch belonged is a large one, read ers who do not understand what they Tead. Nor are all so honest as he. Some are content with the mere sound f the familiar and sacred words, and are little troubled that they do not dis cern the deeper meaning of the in spired page. The Bible needs interpretation. It should be read in the latest, simplest, and best translation. Scripture should be compared with Scripture. Every available source of light upon its pages should be utilized, for it is a unique tribute to the Bible that it has for cen turies exhausted the fullest resources of scholarship In its interpretation, and still today the profoundest minds are wrestling with it. wevertneiess, so wonderful is this book that it af fords palatable and nutritious mental food for the simplest and most untu tored Christian who takes to it the same inquiring mind that was possess ed by the Ethiopian eunuch. A Wayside Meeting. Whoever Is running, God's errands is sure of delightful surprises by the way. Philip was a sent man. a mes senger who employed life in going where the Lord bade him. So follow ing the strange command to leave the thriving new work in Samaria, he went south toward Gaza on what he, together with the brethren, might well have considered a wild goose chase. We never can know what glad sur prises await us around the next cor ner, The unexpectedness of life is one of God s greatest gilts to man. On a commonplace day we set out for the market or for the worksnop, ana before we get there meet our destiny. Who can forget the rare day when, with startling unexpectedness, love en tered his life? Or that other day when, as by rending of a veil, one's whole existence took on larger significance? erent, beautiful, spiritual fervor. Through It the most cultivated mind and the most sensitive heart can unite to worship God. It makes religion beautiful and noble and desirable; in stead of grotesque, cheap and repel lent. Over and over again men have said that If they were to be cast away on a desert island with only one book, they would choose for that book the Bible. Such an exile would read oft enest, next to the Gospels, the inex haustible book of Psalms, with its comfort and its Inspiration. -Human spirits. like musical Instru. ments, need to be "tuned up." No better method of getting the soul Into key has been discovered than tn reading of the Psalms. They bring the heart into harmony with thoughts of God The writers of the Psalms could soar" with the best, but for the most part they were "men In a world of men." They kept their feet on the solid ground of actualities, xneir Deriences were the common expert ences of mankind. But they sancti fied them with an illuminated judg ment: into all the incidents of life they brought Jehovah. With them life was war dIus God: work plus lioa trouble plus God; temptation, ein and repentance plus God. They saw life ever with respect to the Infinite And that is the only conception of an immortal. It was a great God. 'as well as a r h rjnrt that th PstLlTnlHt knew. He a r fkyMr Bnfl I ---o.

The men who wrote the Psalms dip ped their pens Into the blood of their I own hearts; and only literature so written is forever read. David's lot in life, his speech, his customs, his clothes, his environment. were all utterly different from our own; yet he was a human spirit, voic ing his experience of life and of God; and when we approach these soul levels, all men are kindred. The greatest truth concerning any man or people is his or its thought oi uoa. for the largest and most satisfactory In every valley of the shadow of death there is a song which mav be learned by the singer who knows that "Jehovah is my shepherd." Rheumatic Pains 'My mother is a great suf ferer from rheumatism, and Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills is the only remedy that relieves her." MRS. G. DAVENPORT, Roycefield, N. J.

There is scarce ly a mood to which the human spirit rored in this most poems in all the world, the Psalms of Israel. "Religious rag-time" is what some body has called many of the modern popular hymns. Assuredly churches not a few have descended very low in this respect. They have adopted, and actually sing, miserable doggerel that is lacking in ail poetic feeling, in ele vated spiritual conception, in literary form, and in musical value. Mere Jingles, on a par with music hall dit ties, they vitiate the poetical and mus ical taste of youth, and cheapen the worship of the Most High. This wide spread experience is enough to make us all Psalm-singers exclusively. For the ancient hymnody of Israel is rev- love and delights. Their love is their life, and all things loved appear as good until condemned Dy tne intellec tual element of their mental sphere.

THE JOHNSON IMPROVED CE MENT BURIAI, VAULT These vauKs can be seen at the Topeka cemetery. We will deliver and set same at time of funeral in any place in Shawnee county. Is made on the lines of the most advanced methods of cement construction. The material is cement ami gravel in the approved proportions for the best class ot work, and is re inforced with steel through out. The method -of manu facture, produces an air-tight and waterproof vault of m. ceeding strength, grace and lightness. When we say waterproof, we mean it In the sense that a bathtub is waterproof. When we say lightness, we mean that it la as light as is consistent with strength and material. This vault is handled, however, as easily as any of the steel vaults that are on the market. By our method, there are amalgamated with the concrete of the walls, bot tom and lid of the vault steel wires about three Inches apart. Those of the walls run lengthwise and those of the bottom and lid run both ways. Being a part of the walls and gripped by the concrete so. tightly as to be one mass. It is easily seen that to break the vault in the middle, nearly every wire In both of the walls would have to.be PULLED apart. This illustrates the fart that wire used as we use 1 tin these vaults adds Its TENSILE strength' to the product. This vault Is as solid and durable as though It were cut from solid granite. Nothing better in the way of QUALITY", at least, will ever be produced.- We have achieved the limit of quality. D. 0. CRANE and W. R. CARRIE, Agents.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JQTN.AC SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 6, 1909 11 (JOCIETY Much local interest has been manl- lestecl in tne exhibit of the drawings of Mr. Albert T Rpirl nnr! the naint- ings of Mr. George M. Stone at library Jiiui mis week. Much or Mr. stone s exhibit Is portrait work and in fact almost all his new pictures are por traits. One of the cleverest of these is a one-sitting sketch of Mrs. Stone, me painter's wife, and another etrik lng example of his facility in this di rection is a rough sketch of Mr. Uhls of Cincinnati, the painter who has been in Topeka much of recent years to ex ecute portrait commissions. There are also striking portraits of Mr. M. A Low, Mrs. Low, Mrs. J. C. MeClintock Mrs. J. C. Mohler. and Miss Ruth Wil son. Mr. Reid's exhibit includes the originals of many of his best and most popular magazine Illustrations and newspaper cartoons. Singularly enough in the estimation of most of the visi tors, the two best things In the collec tion a-.e a portrait sketch of Mr. Pres ton Flenniken, done a number of years ego, and one of his very latest draw ings, the Girl of the Golden West for which Miss Lucile Mulhall posed. The "Ornery Boy" and "Timothy Tug- button," illustrations for Harmon Wil son's book, have much virility and or iginality. Of course the famous Wash burn Boy, the first of the football Studies which have been Mr. Reid's greatest success, are shown. A num ber of well known Topeka beauties nave posed for Mr. Reid and among tne models readily recognized in this ex hibit, are Mrs. Reid. their daughter Marian. Miss Louise Kellam, Miss Isa bel Smith and Miss Edna Bear. Mrs. Armin Weiskirch and Mrs. Mar garet Wiggin gave an informal tea this atternoon at the former a house in Pot win for Mr. Weisklrch's sister, Mrs. Lloyd G. Harris of St. Louis.

Sterne, Mrs. Albert T. Reid. Mrs. William Macferran, Mrs. S. E. Barber and Mrs. E. H. Crosby. A number of little girls in Japanese costume served tea. The picturesque and dainty little hoods which are now the fashion for evening wear certainly have sufficient practicability to recommend them. As they are shirred on hoops, they protect the head without damage to my lady's elaborate coiffure. The one shown in the sketch was fashioned of white chif fon. Around the face was a double box-pleated ruche of the chiffon, in which nestled at intervals tiny pink silk rosebuds. Another pleating of white taffeta beyond this added extra fullness around the face. The material was shirred over the two remaining hoops placed two to three inches apart and covered by other chiffon ruches. A ruffle of chiffon around the neck and ties of the same completed this charm ing little hood. Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Graves. 1504 Har rison street, have announced the en gagement of their daughter.

The popularity of the separate coat seems to be still very great, and will, no doubt, remain so as long as one piece gowns maintain their ascendency. Herewith is sketched a pretty and practical model, suitable for wear over spring gowns. It is of tan chiffon broadcloth cut in Directoire style. A double row of soutache placed two inches from edge of revers, cuffs and front and the space filled with heavy lace in self-tone make an exceedingly attractive decoration. A band of this also trims the front of the coat. The hat worn is a new model, recently dis played, and is of white summer felt with high crown of hyacinths through which is threaded a band of green vel vet ribbon.

Chicago, March Charles M Stuart, recently appointed editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, has had his first tussle with the print- In last week's issue of his publica tion appeared the following exchange clipping, the same being a recipe for pound cake: "Cream together one cup of butter and three cups of sugar. Add the yolks of rive eggs and beat the whole until it is very light. Then stir in one wine glass of whisky one nutmeg, grated, and then one cup of milk, and when these ingredients are well mixed beat in four cups of flour," etc. The Advocate being devoted to the anti-liquor cause, a protest imme diately arose from the subscribers. Mr. Stuart lost no time in preparing a correction which appeared in this week's issue. Meanwhile he had ex plained verbally that the recipe crept into the columns without the know ledge of himself or his associates. About as nearly as he could fix the re sponsibility, he declared, it rested up on the printers "devil." The printed explanation is as fol lows "The appearance of the clipping was a sheer inadvertence which the editor regrets quite as much as does any of his readers. The Northwestern has for over fifty years been consistent and insistent against the use of intoxicants and against the traffic; it is not likely to stultify its record even in the inter est of the toothsomeness of pound cake. MADE 100 PER CENT. Higliest Efficiency in Target Practice Has Been Reached. Washington, March 6. One of the highest figures of efficiency ever made In target practice has been reached by the 85th company, coast artillery corps, at Fort Casey, Wash., accord ing to a statement given out by the war department. This company made 100 per cent of hits at a 30 by 60 foot target moving at the rate of 6.8 miles an hour, at a mean range of 6,420 yards. The practice was held at a battery of 10 inch rifles mounted on disappearing carriages. The series of rour record shots was fired from two guns in the total elapsed time of two minutes and 23 seconds. As showing the company's general efficiency, the department states that the company has made nine out of ten record shots fired this year at a moving target and only one other company assigned to ten inch rifles has made a higher figure.

New York city is soon to build one four miles long which will cost about $4,800,000. Wall street is probably expecting four years of the simple life, but it dollars to doughnuts that "Wall street Is fooling itself. Ex-Governor Hoch made something of a record In appointing men of high caliber to office but Governor Stubbs seems bent on making a better one in this regard. A Paris newspaper describes Mr. Roosevelt as being "an athlete in politics as well as in sport, war and theology." And that is a mighty pat description of the man. There is nothing strange in the fact that the members of the senate and the house of the state legislature can not even agree on a time for final adjournment. They haven't been able to agree on much of anything during the entire course of the session. Isaac Stephenson has finally been re-elected to the United States senate by the Wisconsin legislature. So that $107,000 he expended in his campaign was not spent in vain. It might be said, though, that he got an exciting and nerve-wracking run for his money. "Good-bye and good luck," was Mr. Roosevelt's parting to all his friends as he left Washington after the in augural ceremonies. Instead of "Good bye" he ought to have used "Au revoir" for the chances are great that he will again play a prominent public role In Washington some day. Topekans are not enthusiastic over bad v.-eather, but being patriots to the core, they probably would have been unanimously willing to swap the weather which prevailed here on March 4 for the kind that happened In Washington, so that the Inaugural ceremonies could have been carried out as planned. since the famous 'possum dinner to Mr. Taft that the prevailing price re centiy was $10 per animal, and they used to be a drug on the market at 50 cents each: All of which shows tnat when anything becomes fashion able it becomes expensive. A SATURDAY SER.MOX. slack hand: but the hand of the diligent -acui liua. -rroverDs ac:. In this era of life, particularly in this country, the habit has been developed an too generally of rushing through with affairs of every kind in the easiest and quickest way. Hen make up their minds to reach a goal and they start on the road to it with a hustle and a bustle that makes for anything but perfection. They often achieve what they are apt to look upon as a success, the realization of their dreams, but most of the things accomplished In this w-ay lack permanency. A slack hand has been used in the building of them in one or more of their essential de tails. These mistakes are not noticed in the process of the making, but when the structure is completed, it is noon found that there are many weak members in it. It totters and frequent ly ians to a complete destruction. Then it is often too late for the beginning of another to take its place. And so tne man who has worked In this way finds that his efforts have resulted in a failure. There are many self-evident proofs that this is true in the history of each aay. to no one but the victims of their own carelessness and slackness does the realization come stronger that their efforts might have been crowned with a lasting and material success if they had used the utmost diligence in the laying of the foundations for it and also in the working out of every particular of the superstructure which they desired to have so substantial. Observation will show that the men who have achieved successes of the right and permanent sort, successes which need not necessarily be meas ured by a great amount of money or property, but even this kind are with in the bounds of this discussion, are those whose achievements have not come hurriedly, They have arrived slowly and surely, and chiefly because of the unfailing practice of great dili gence in all things. The diligent man, no matter what his work may be, is the one who will always make a success of the lasting sort. A fellow worker may occasionally pass him by for the time being by slacking things which are not immediately observable, but, in the long run, the plodder, the careful the diligent man will -win the victory, pretty much after the style in whV:h the tortoise defeated the hare in the famous race. which most of the high tariff laws of this country have been built. They have been so constructed as to pro tect beyond reason many of the in dustries in this country. Two things have resulted therefrom. The tariff revenues have not "been as great as they would have been if the schedules had been lower and the people of this country have been compelled to pay more for the necessaries of life, man ufactured at home here, than these self same goods are sold- for In other countries. There has been no room for competition, and that's why so many monopolies have been able to develop and levy such burdens as they please. A reasonable protective tariff was all right until the industries of this country had reached a footing where they could well look after their interests in any market. They have been in that condition for a long time and the tariffs that have continued to protect them have been unreasonable and oppressive to the people. It is time there-was a change and it is to be hoped that congress will see the force of Mr. Taft's arguments for a tariff now mainly for revenue. It is certain. The country needs the revenue bad enough and the peo ple need relief from the burdens which the high protective tariff have thrust upon them.

Possibly the most unpopular student these days at Oxford university is L. C. Hull, the American, who won two Important running races at a recent athletic contest hejd by the English college. Englishmen consider them selves the best runners In the world and they are except when they get tip against some top-notch American athletes. As might have been expected, Mr. Roosevelt's first work in his capacity as an editor of the Outlook, is a slash ing arraignment of "yellow Journal ism." For this he may well be par doned for he certainly has felt more than one man's share of its stings. Furthermore the editorial is prime and sets forth just such high stand ards as he has set for other callings. There were cheers In the national house of representatives the other day when the ship subsidy bill was killed by the narrow margin of three votes. They are misdirected, for If there is one thing the United States needs it Is legislation of this character to stimulate shipping, the carrying over the seas of the millions and millions of dollars worth of American goods In American built ships. An echo of the general election last fall comes with the announcement of Mr. Bryan that Montgomery county, Ohio, has won his famous mule which he decided to award to the county in the country which made the largest gain in Democratic votes. About the only place that a county can care for a mule is at its poor farm and this will be quite an appropriate place for this more or less distinguished animal. It will be able to hobnob with other spirits who have felt the heavy hand of disappointments. The few v remaining 'possums In Georgia are breathing easier now be cause a law has been discovered on that state's statute books which pro hibits the killing of these marsupials daring seven months of the year. If It had not been for the discovery of this law the 'possum would have been a rare beast in that locality. The de mand for them has been so great A WAVE OF EXTRAVAGAXCE. That the United States government is not the only nation in the world which is spending public money with such a lavish hand that it faces a big deficit in its treasury is pointed out with clear ness by a recent editorial in the Boston Evening Transcript. In fact it would eem that there is something of a world wide wave of extravagance sweeping on its way and making things uncomfor table for the pockets of the taxpayers In many climes. The Transcript says: Three of the great powers, the United States, Great Britain and Germany, are about to wrestle with the deficit ques tion. The British Liberals estimate the gap between revenues and expenditures which parliament must make good by new taxation, as $50,000,000, while the Conservatives, after the manner of op positions, put it as $70,000,000. The Ger man government wants $118,000,000 more revenue at once, and here in the Uni ted States we know that when the books are closed at the "end of the cur rent fiscal year there will be a deficit of more than $100,000,000. Congress keeps right on as if there was no such thing as Inadequate revenues. In all three countries big military and naval ap propriations are largely responsible for the excess of expenditures, though In neither Great Britain nor Germany is the proportion of the taxpayers' money devoted to fleets, pensions and armies as great as in our own. Not even ad versity teaches economy to these three nations, which are in the front rank of enlightenment. We have passed through hard times in the last two years, in which Germany has also had some un fortunate experiences, while Great Brit ain is suffering from 'unemployment.' which Is simply another word for busi ness depression. A wave of extrava gance seems to be sweeping over the great national legislatures, and between "military preparedness" and "sociolo gical experimentation" the taxpayers appear to have nothing else to do but to "grin and bear it." "Don't cry over spilt milk. Hunt for another cow," is a recent remark of Mack Cretcher. It has been discovered, says the Ot tawa Herald, that the man who has been lashing dresses in v ichita was a luna tic and not a benefactor introducing the directoire style with no tiresome waits. Clyde H. Knox, who was for several years editor of the Sedan-Times-Star and later was associated in the owner ship of the Coffeyville Journal, has re turned to Sedan, where he will take charge of the Lance. A fight between the two electric light companies at Arkansas City has re duced the prices of the city's street lights 50 per cent, and it is said that in the next ten years the city will save a million dollars in the contract. The Kansas City Journal asserts that society folk will read the "legal no tices" columns with interest if the pro posed bill in the legislature becomes a law compelling the printing of engage ments 15 days before marriage., Barney Sheridan, formerly editor of the Faola Western Spirit, and at one time proprietor of the Kansas City World, says that the longer a newspa per is run along lines of absolute hon esty the surer It Is to make money.

Ottawa Herald. An Ottawa telephone girl is deserv ing of some recognition for her heroism during a late fire. She was alone at the board at the time and when the alarm went in she knew instantly that her possessions would be burned. She wish ed to save them but she felt that It was her duty to remain at her post where there would be any number of calls during the course of the fire and she stayed at her post although she lost everything in her room. Garden City Telegram. GLOBE SIGHTS. TAFT AND THE TARIFF. Of the many important matters discussed by President Taft In his in augural address none are more to the point at this time than the revision of the tariff and what Mr. Taft has to say on this topic is of quite as much import as is the subject itself. Since his election he has made it known on several occasions that he was in favor of an adequate revision of tariff, a re vision that would materially reduce many of the important schedules. He goes further in his inaugural address and argues for the necessity of a tar iff which will produce a revenue re quisite to the needs of the nation. A tariff for revenue is far different from a protective tariff. In fact, a tariff for revenue is the kind of a tsr iff that was sought after by Grower Cleveland and his free trade followers. A tariff that will produce the most revenue is the tariff In which the schedules are the lowest that will be compatible with the business affairs of this country, and the lower the schedules the greater will be the vol ume of the things that will be brought into this country under them, and the larger the revenue that it will be pos sible to raise because of this increased volume of businesss. "In the making of a tariff bill, the prime motive is taxation, and the se curing thereby of a revenue," says Mr. Taft. .This is the exact truth but it is not In accord with the theory on From the Atchison Globe. Money -would be more enjoyable if it took people as long to spend it as it does to earn it. We have noticed that when a far mer comes to town on Saturday, he is usually Daaiy in need or a shave. When he wants to go some place, a boy can do work in ten minutes which would ordinarily take him half a day. Only once does a man look uglier than when he has only a nightshirt on: When he takes his nightshirt off. Nearly any old girl is so clever that that she can talk to a young man for a year, and never give him an idea of her age. If a woman can't fool a man. it means either that she is very much in love with him, or that she is particul arly stupid. The Lancaster Literary society de cided last night, after a heated argu ment, that it is no offense for a boy to kiss a girl. We have attended a good many lec tures, and all came up to our expecta tions in one particular; they- were all long enough. Every man believes he lives in the best neighborhood in the world, which would indicate that people are pretty decent everywhere. Poor parents who are bringing up daughters to be princesses, are mak ing lots of trouble for the poor devils who marry the daughters. When a young woman begins to take up a literary or philanthropic work as a serious fad, it is an indica tion that she has Lost Hope. Old Ben Franklin was about the wisest product this country ever pro duced, and he never said anything much better than the best way to find money is to earn It. It sounds well in a song to have the wife waiting for her husband at heav en's gate, but the average man has had to explain so often- what makes him late, that this feature of heavenly bliss is not alluring. There is a mistaken idea that cul ture means to paint a little, to sing a little, to dance a little, and to quote passages from late popular books. As a matter of fact, culture means noth ing of the kind. Culture means mas tery over self; politeness, charity, fair ness, good temper, good conduct. Cul ture is not a thing to make a display of; it Is something to use so modestly I PENSIONING THE PROFESSORS. Kansas has decided to make the state university professors -eligible to the t arngle fund which has been created tor the purpose of pensioning superan nuated teachers. Oklahoma has decided on an opposite course and an Issue is fairly Joined be tween the two states. Kansas argues that the fund exists ana that Kansas teachers are as de serving as those of other states and if there are favors going, this state might VMeast n Iine acceptance. Oklahoma takes the view, held also by Bryan, that the Carnegie fund is u taintd and for that reason it should not be accepted by Oklahoma teachers. The first taint comes in the way the rund was accumulated Mr ra,ns,i acquired his yast fortune through a upoly wnicn squeezed vast wealth out of the consumers. It is looked upon by the Bryan school of moralists as little better than robbery. The second taint lies in the possible! errect of- this npnsinn unnn n-a BALLADE OF PRUDENT SPORT. ?Lnot P"snacious, not a bit, twT 1 d .fnt I'd always run.

To scientific men this was no less than a tragedy, since it means an expense of S50.000 and a delay of one year, with possibility that tne second effort will be no more sue cessful. It is doubtful If many persons ever saw a reflecting telescope. When tne term telescope is used we think of an instrument with a long "barrel and lenses at each end. These are the most common, but are not In many cases the most useful. They have de fects which cannot be remedied In our present state of knowledge, and they have limitations put upon them by nature which perhaps may never De overcome, r But the reflecting tele scope, consisting of a single lens plac ed horizontally and with out any "bar rel" is in many respects the more use ful Instrument for astronomers, al- tnougn it also has Its drawbacks. In this instrument the light falls di rectly on the lens and is reflected back to a focal point, which is distant from the lens according to its diameter. It is open to the objection that the light reflected back Interferes with the fall ing rays, but ingenuity has overcome much of the disadvantage. The larg est effective instrument of this sort is at the Terkes observatory, but the one planned for Mount Wilson is to be more than twice as large, and much larger than that of Lord Rosse, which was so famous 50 years ago, The diffculty in constructing a lens more than 8 feet in diameter arises from the fact that the glass must be snaring in this fund cause the teachers to defend its acquisition? May they not gradually come to look upon it and its method of acquisition as something to be praised, and may they not, uncon sciously, perhaps, inject Into their teachings the doctrines upon which monopoly is founded? Kansas does not accept either pro position. It thinks Carnegie's money is direct from the mint, and it does not believe Kansas professors liable to teach false notions In political economy under the stress of a possible future fee. The question is open to argument and there is no referee who can determine he point at issue. In general a college professor who cannot save enoueh out of his liberal salary for his old age, is hardly fit to teach economy of any sort political or the every- flay variety.

Enelishmen wear tne suk nat on every occasion, grave and gay, because their grandfathers did, but up-to-aate toiK refused to be ruled by an absurd precedent. At the risk of spoiling the Anglo-Japanese entente, the news papers of Tokio are throwing weighty rhetorical brickbats at the high hat, dear to the heart and expensive to the nocketbook of every Englishman. The antiquated headgear is character ized as "ill-proportioned, laughter provoking, unsanitary, jarring to esthetic natures and a representation of superficial civilization." It is de clared to be especially inappropriate to Japanese with their low stature. "WViv our onnntrvmen. who are fa mous for their artistic taste, should have come to adopt this monstrosity," remarks the Yorodzu, "is past our comprehension." Pittsburg Gazette. LEARNING AND POLITICS. It is said that the election of Pro fessor Lowell to the presidency of Harvard college "means a closer un ion of the university with higher poli tics." There has been so much insin uation against politics that education seems disposed to indulge in the dis trust, and to keep its classics, its mathematics, its science from asso- j ciation with it. And then, the jealousy and suspi- clon of partisan polities have dis- j couraged education from entering the field, even to talk of universals and ideals. And yet, when one analyses the subject of education, he finds the basic idea to.be the purification and! exaltation of civic duty. If education does not incline a man to be brave. honest, sincere, unselfish, outspoken, clean-hearted, it has fallen short of its main purpose. It is no use what ever. We talk much these days of indus trial education; of that happy associa tion of learning and labor; of that fair combination between brainwork and handwork, which Is the condition of a hopeful destiny. It is well we do. But precisely like that is the union of the classics and civics, of the history and patriotic duty; of the grammar of talking well and the pol itics of doing well.

So overjoyed was he at his fortune that he flipped a handspring by way of proving it. His agility made a hit with "Marie," and instead of listening to his words of love, "she" bade him turn more handsprings. Peter compiled and was told he might have his answer the following day. More handsprings, then the formal proposal, and Peter was accepted. "Marie" consented to the ceremony being performed immediately, and a justice of the peace and a score of Foote's friends were summoned. The bridegroom's offer to whip his enthus iastis friends who attempted to kiss the "bride" was the only incident to mar the smoothness of the wedding. Foote took his "bride" to his home, and before he had done welcoming "her" he had a vision. The "bride" removed "her" dress and also the mass of golden hair, and stood before Foote in man's attire.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. MARCH 6, 1S09 13 it A POSTAL KOMAXCE. i X A new venture in bookdom is a Standard Bibla dictionary which is being published by Funk Wagnalls of New Tork. This work has now been in preparation for some years, under the editorial charge of Dr. Melancthon Jacobus and Prof. Ed ward E. Nourse of the Hartford Theological seminary, and Prof. A. C. Zenos of McCormick Theological seminary, Chicago, assisted by some thirty or more of the leading Bible scholars of Europe and America. Thus, for the first time in the his tory of the making of a single volume Bible dictionary the work has been assigned to a selected corps of spe cialists in Bible lore. Every article is signed with the initials of its con tributor, thus enabling the reader to identify with ease the writer of any or all the articles he consults. Since anonymous- writing is not always In fallible, the advantage of having sign ed articles is obvious. It stamps the work done as authoritative and places the responsibility for the statements made where it should rest. In the production of this dictionary the Biblical citations and references were drawn by the editors from the American Standard Edition or tne Ke vised Bible and the English Revised version, but these have not been used exclusively. The text of the King James Version, sometimes known as the Authorized Version, which In all English speaking countries is still held In great respect, has also been used. The range of this new work will be better realized when the fact Is stated that the basis for its list of titles was the Concordance of the English Bible. The sudden death Is announced of Will Lillibridge at his home at Sioux .b-aiis, s. D. Mr. Lillibridge is best known for his story "Ben Blair which was published by A. C. McClurg Co. four years ago, and had a very wide success. Only a week before his death Messrs. McClurg Co. closed a contract with him for a new story to De published this coming fall, en titled "The Dominant Dollar." and this will probably be the last story rrom nis girted pen, unless it should prove that he had other work far enough along to warrant publication. Mr. Lillibridge was onlv thirtv-two years of age, and the greater part of nis lire was spent in Dakota which Mas the state of his birth. Ho was educated at the State university of lowa at Iowa Ulty, where he studied dentistry, and this became his profes sion. His literary work was done evenings, and it was the strain of this double load which brought on his un timely death. He leaves a widow but no children. A number of instances of present-day "trosperity-sharlng," and its various phases, will be the subject of an article in the March Century by William H. Toiman; director of the American Museum of Safety and Sanitation, New Tork. In the article is incorporated a letter dealing with "social engineer ing" from Mr. Andrew Carnegie, whom Mr. Tolman designates "a notable 'so cial engineer himself." Mr. H. C. Chatfield-Taylor's first novel in several years, and his first work since his biography of Moliere, published two years ago, will be issued by Messrs. Duffield Company on March 24, the author's forty-fourth birthday. The novel will be entitled "Fame's Pathway," and deals with episodes from the early life, profession al struggles and love affairs of the great French dramatist, the scenes be ing laid in Paris and the French Pro vinces. The pictures will be by "Job" (Comte de Brevllle). whose illustrations for the same author's "Moliere: A Biog raphy" made such a decided hit. Elinor Glyn has cabled to her pub lishers. Messrs. Duffield Company, that she expects to have her new book, 'Elizabeth Visits America." ready for publication on May 15. This is still another postponement of Mrs. Glyn's eagerly awaited novel, which was ex pected to be ready for issue on April 1. the anniversary of the foundation of the concern of Duffield Company. The Pilgrim mothers and others are said to be awaiting with some considerable curiosity the publication of Mrs. Glyn's remarks on America tions. and Its institu- Remlniscences of Lincoln, contribut ed by so many and such variously distinguished men of his time, and now published by the Messrs. Harper, were collected some years since by the late Allen Thorndike Rice. Mr. Rice, who at one time was editor of the North American Review, in his own intro ductory chapter pays Lincoln a sig nificant tribute when he says, "Even as president of the United States at a period when the nation's peril invested the holder of the office with almost despotic power, there seems to have been in Lincoln's nature a modesty and lack of desire to rule that nothing could lessen or enrace. Sir Gilbert Parker, M. P., whose novel The Weavers has had to be again re printed by the Harpers in this country, is supporting the parliamentary bill to abolish the lord chamberlain s power in England to censor plays. The new movement apparently would transfer the powers now held by the lord cham berlain to the London county council, which already controls the censorship of the music halls, a consequence being that the playwright can sometimes se cure hearing in the halls when the theaters are refused him. Authors and managers are not wholly in accord on this question. One of the writers who take their stand with Sir Gilbert is T. P. O'Connor, of the famous "T. P.'s" Weekly; another is A. E. W. Mason. Charles Rann Kennedy's plays. The Winterfeast and The Servant in the House, both of which are having marked success among the Harper books this season, show the literary influence upon their author of the Bible. While this is no doubt due partly to the early training of Mr. Kennedy, yet there is room to believe that most Englishmen are better ac quainted with Bible-reading than are Americans. It seems that the priest in The Winterfeast startled one reader by his remark that he would not die childless. "That old re mark about sin conceiving and bring ing forth death doesn't seem to occur to people," says Mr. Kennedy. "That is the priest's way of saying, I have brought death upon your household.' Tragically speaking, it is hate that engenders the child, death. I wonder whether people read half their Bibles?" "Lovers of Henry van Dyke's books and what reader of them is not a lover." says The Dial, speaking of Dr. van Dvke's new book, "Out-of-Doors in the Holy Land," "will rejoice in the record of his recent Journey to Palestine. The unusually beautiful Illustrations are such as might adorn a much more expensive book. His writing always combines poetry, re ligion, and the love of nature. His descriptions of these long-loved places are at once refreshing ana reverent Inspector Graham, of the Postal Service, happened to be at Chestnut Hill at the time" the postmistress died, and he took charge of the office and did what he could in other directions. I The deceased had left two daughters i one twelve and one eighteen. Squire i Davis and two or three others scarce- i ly waited the burial of the widow be- fore planning for the postmastershlp and invoking the aid of the Inspector, j This they did not receive, however. He promptly recommended Bessie, the eldest daughter, for the place, and she i was shortly appointed. A few weeks later Mr. Graham was back again to see how things were; running Queerly enough, as Bessie thought, he seemed somewhat embar- rassed at meeting her again. He was less official than she had ever known him. He had been making his official visits for six or seven years, and, had always had pleasant words for the fatherless girls. Mother and daughter had come to look upon the Inspector as a good friend as well as a pains taking official, and as to whether he was married or single the subject had never been discussed. As for Bessie herself, he had come forward in the crisis and proved .a good vfriend, and she naturally felt grateful. If there was any feeling beyond that she did not realize it. Til ird Anniiai BOY AND GIRXi BADLY HURT. Together .They Fell Down aA Ventila tor 45 Feet. New York March 6. Arthur Ginness, a 13 year old boy, and Bertha Burlor, a 14 year old girl, both of Richmond Hill, Staten Island, are in a serious condi tion in St. Mary's hospital today after having fallen together 45 feet through a ventilator into the auditorium of a Richmond Hill church yesterday after noon. The boy was injured internally and little hope is held out for his re covery. While walking home rrom school to gether the children heard carpenters at work in the church and went inside to view the improvements. Rummaging about the dark attic they stepped on some flimsy grill work and fell head long on the pews below among the startled carpenters. Notice.

"So you are keeping an eye on this postofnee, eh?" saluted Squire Davis, as he saw the Inspector back again. "Well, you'll need to do it. I'm notsay ing that Miss Jordan is not a nice girl, but she isn't responsible. No girl of that age is. She's sure to make some big blunder." "And, of course, you hope she will?" was the laughing rejoinder. Jot at all. but I don't think the Postal Department ought to trust its business to children. Sure to be a scandal sure to be." For the next year the postoffice at Chestnut Grove was the best conduct ed of any on the Inspector's route. Not the slightest fault could be found In any direction. Had the Inspector visited the office four times in the year he would have covered his instruc tions, but his calls were made much oftener. Sometimes he overhauled the office reports and again he merely vis ited for a couple of hours. Before the year was up Miss Bessie had to admit to herself that the In spector was showing something be sides official interest, and the know ledge embarrased and pained her She had learned that he was free to marry, and why all these visits if he was not in love with her? The girl had a secret. It was a secret from the Inspector only, and she trembled every time he came for fear that he would discover it. A dozen different village gossips could have betrayed that secret, but they had not been en couraged to talk. Squire Davis had often had it on his tongue's end, but had checked himself and said: "Not a word from me. I said there would be a scandal, and there will be. The girl postmistress had entered upon her second official year, and In spector Graham had arrived to pay one of his semi-social calls, when he was met by a storm of excitement. He had been doing a great deal of think ing during the past three months. He had satisfied himself that he was real ly and truly in love with Bessie and wanted her for a wife, and he believed that he had found favor In her eyes. On this occasion he meant to tell his love and know his fate. "This is what has happened," said Squire Davis, who was the first to meet ka Exposition o ECcrinel Club i the MFMuffl At the Auditorium March, 10, 11, 12, 13 Judging Every Afternoon and Evening The Big Feature Will be the LADIES' CLASS.

"A reg istered letter containing $50 for me has been lost in the mail, and I'm sure It got to the office all right. I told you that something of the sort would happen. I'm sorry for the girl, but if she took that letter, and I guess she did, I shall have to press the case against her as a moral example." "But Miss Jordan couldn't have tak en your letter," protested the surpris ed and perturbed Inspector. "Mebbe not, but what about that fellow who's been' hanging around there for a year, and who has been known to help open the mail bags? They say he is hard up and At the postoffice the Inspector found the postmistress in tears. The whole village had heard about the missing letter, and a score of people had come In to inquire about it Miss Bessie uttered an exclamation of relief as her official caller walked in, but the next instant seemed more embarrassed than ever. When asked to state the case she replied: "If there was an official letter I did not see it." "But if one came you must have seen it." "I ought to. of course." The Inspector was an official now In stead of a friend. He at once got to work on the trail of-the missing letter, and, before nighj. he assured himself that ft had actual iyrpassea through the office at Sandy Hill, which was next on the' east. This being so. it must have arrived at Chestnut Grove, The night of its arrival was a very stormy one. and there was no one in after mail until long after It had been distributed. Inspector Graham sat in the office and thought it out and knew that the letter had arrived and been taken. He could not bring him self to believe that Miss Bessie was the thief, and yet it hurt him to think that it might have been taken by another by the young man to whom Squire Davis had alluded. The girl had a lover for a year past and had con cealed the fact from him. It didn't occur to him that it was her right and that he had really no business to know, but he felt that an injury had been done him There was but one way out of the business, and he took it. As he called the postmistress in he was more of the official than he had ever been. "Miss Jordan." he began, "did Hen ry Williams assist you to distribute the mail on the evening of the 4th?" "Y-yes," she replied as her face went white. "You know how strict the regula tions are about that?" "Yes, but I had a terrible sorethroat and was in bed, and I let him and Anna attend to the distribution." "And Henry Williams took the let ter. You know he did." "I i can't be sure," she said, as she broke down and sobbed. "You never told me that you had a lover." "N-no. I didn't didn't think." "Why did he take the letter?" "Oh, sir," sobbed the girl, "he want ed to go away and find work and earn money -so that we could be be mar ried. It was a temptation. He must have taken it, but we'll pay It all back everv cent. I've got thirty dollars saved up, and he'll get work and send the rest." "And he loves you?" asked the In spector, with a lump in his throat. "He does. I know he does, and if anything happens to Billy When thee Inpector crossed the street to the inn Squire Davis was still in his office, hoping to hear that an ar rest had been made. "Well, will the girl lose her place and be sent to prison?" he asked as Graham came in. "No." "But why not? She certainly got my J50." "You didn't lose no $50. You lost only $10. You had that sent to you hoping it would be taken. It was tak en, but not by Miss Jordan. Henry Williams is the one. and here's your money back." "But, sir. I demand "You'd better drop it. Squire. You have lied about the amount, and the authorities at Washington know that you've been Itching to be postmaster here. Just spread the news that you have got your money and let it go at that." And when morning came Inspector Graham went back to the postoffice to say: "Miss Jordan, that registered letter Is all right. Squire Davis has received it. And now. as I shall ask to be changed to another route and may not see you again for years, I wish to bid you goodbye and wish you all the luck In the world." (Copyright, 1909, by T. C. McClure.) "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees." L,Uke 111:9. A lot of surplus grief has been set to music by those who participated in the favors of the administration, and the burden of the song was, "The pee pul cannot get, these ge-lorious meas ures yet. Administration bills are dead because. Judge Price removes the 'acting' clause." As the Administratlonists See Him. When Lieutenant-Governor Fitz gerald made up his committees, he had small choice in the selection of a committee on judiciary. The sen ate elect contained just enough law yers to fill the committee, and no one but a blank chump would place a farmer or merchant on a Judiciary committee if there were enough law yers present to fill it. But he did have a choice in the selection of a chairman, and he chose a jurist who is recognized all over the state for his legal ability and fairness Judge Francis Price, of Clark county. It is true that this committee has made mincemeat of some of the ad ministration pets, but, as the adver tisement is wont to remark, "There is a reason." They were not killed because they were pets. Before the writer was promoted to worse things, he was police reporter and remembers a case of several years past, which fits the occasion at hand. One old lady had taken a mop-stick and killed some pet white rabbits be longing to another old lady. She was arrested for the slaughter, and the 1 Vi iv. c. 7 '""""ea lrau m a ounujng snowstorm ana rescued a miner, who was lost in the St. Vrayn range of mruntains, two miles above sea level and dug him out of a snow drift The man was almost frozen to death, but was rescued and carried to a place of safety by this animal.

"But they are pets," shrieked the old lady who owned the rodents. "And they were also a blamed nuisance," cut in the old lady who had killed them. "The fact that the rabbits were pets is a mighty poor defense for the rabbits, and a mighty poor ground of prosecution," observed the court. "It has been established that they were a darned nuisance, and the defendant is discharged." It will be observed that the prin cipal howl about the senate judiciary committee has been blown through the administration mouth-organ. An appointment to a state job of the boss of this mouth-organ, may shed a little light on the motive. It will be ob served also, that Joe Dolley, Foley of Rice and others who 'have shared in the distribution of pie, have been rais ing their voices against this senate chopping block. As before observed, "There is a reason." Representative Rogers of Sedg wick, seems to have "got in bad" with the house. Being a Democrat by trade. and an insurrectionist by choice, he has done much to bump the administration, but he was not content to stop at that, and both his fellow Democrats and the majority are up in arms against him. He is now bucking every appropriation bill that comes up, and desires a diagram for everything. Such unkind sugges tions as "Spell it out for him," are made every time he takes the floor, and the two-minute rule is reserved for his exclusive benefit. He has been called bad and unparliamentary names from the floor, but that is nothing Rogers of Sedgwick. strange, considering the wild state of the house during the past few days. Through it all, Rogers of Sedgwick continues along his pernicious route to destruction. The broad-browed young man from Wicked Wichita re fuses to back up. Cussings and other contumely touch him not.

JAMES HORD RETURNS Negro Preacher Being Tried for Abandoning Childreu. Central Sash Door Company Elect Officers. North Topeka millers are express ing a desire that the house will pass the bill recommending that the ap propriation for 30,000 for seed wheat be- raised to $50,000. This bill passed the senate yesterday afternoon. J. B Nicholson, manager of the Kaw Mil ling company, and Nat Taylor of the company, together -with E. B. Hoff man of the Enterprise mills, appear ed before the ways and means com mittee this week and asked for an appropriation for this purpose. The Kaw Milling company are said to have been the only Topeka milling interests represented. It Is well known that the wheat in Kansas is deteriorating. This is due to inbreeding, and it is estimated that the Introduction of a foreign breed, such as hard Turkey red from Rus sia will save millions of dollars to the state. The following officers of the Central Sash Door company were elected at the annual meeting of the stockhold ers this week: President, E. R. Burk holder, McPherson; vice president. A. Burkholder, Canada; secretary. Den nis Sipes. Topeka; treasurer, William Kipes. The following directors were elected: E. R. Burkholder, A. Eurk holder, Samuel Burkholder, Marion; William Manspeaker, J. G. Slonecker, Topeka; George G. Moses, Junction City: Dennis Sipes and William Sipes, Topeka. James Hord, the negro "preacher" charged with abandoning his two chil dren, returned to Topeka yesterday afternoon from Kansas City, and ia being tried for the charge in the pro bate court this afternoon. Neighbors of the man telephoned of his sick child and probably added that he would get into trouble if he didn't show up. Tom, the sick boy, is threatened with pneumonia and can Tiot be moved from the home at 635 Spruce street. The King brothers, humane officers, are supplying the children with food. The new span at the south end of the Santa Fe bridge across the Kansas liver is nearly ail in position, and the work of putting the pieces together will probably be completed today. The top chords of the span are several feet above the top of the old spans. WALL PAPER. Whenever you think of wall paper, your next thought should be "Bair's store."

Foucht tells an amusing story In connection with the early days of th telgraph and another amusing anecdote: "Just after the first telegraph line riad been strung along the line of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne Chicago rail road, people took great interest in the new invention. "My father J. D. Foucht and a Ger man neighbor, John Costanian bv name, then lived in Wyandotte county, Ohio, on adjoining farms. One day they were walking along the railroad, and noticing the telegraph line, began to talk of its wonders. My father told his neighbor about messages being sent over the wire, but the German couldn't understand. He looked at the wires overhead and then exclaimed: "I don't see no vite papers mit letters in dem running along der vires.' Father then tried to explain the prin ciple of the telegraph but for a long time his neighbor failed to compre hend. "Near by our farm was a small town of about a thousand. A Catholic church stood at one end of the main street. This thoroughfare, on Sun days after church would be filled with people on their way home from ser vices. Constanian was a very devoted member of this church and evidently had the crowds who went there in mind when he happened to be in Chi cago with my father one day. He walked along the busy streets of the city for awhile and then said. 'I von where the church vas. Dere must have been services dere and people are go ing home alreatty yet. The streets vas so growded." At the Churches Tomorrow. -North Topeka Baptist church, cor ner of Laurent and Harrison, Rev. C. T.

The Tribune to day prints the following news article: A strong argument for government supervision of railway capitalization is included by the interstate commerce commission in its decision in the Spo kane rate case, which made a reduc tion of 16 2-3 per cent in the rates from Chicago and St. Paul to Spokane, Wash. "The commission based its finding that the rates were unreasonably high, largely on the fact that the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail ways had earned excessive amounts on the investment. "After an exhaustive investigation into the earnings, cost of reproduction, and capitalization of the two compa nies, the commission declares that, of the 150 million dollar capital stock of the Great Northern railway outstand ing, 30 million dollars had been issued without the payment to the company of any money consideration. "These transactions ought to have been prevented to begin with." said Commissioner Prouty in writing the opinion. "Great sums might have been properly saved to the public by suit able supervision, but the evil has been done and for the most part cannot 'e safely undone. If this government in) the past has permitted the capitaliza tion of earnings and securities and the conferring of benefits, it ought not to day penalize the innocent holder of the values created.' "The Spokane jobbers in their com plaint insisted that the commission should deduct from the outstanding stock of the Great Northern 30 million dollars and allow it to earn dividends only on 120 million dollars." "SHOT TO riECES" IS O. K. Term Is a Good One as Applied to Some Automobiles. Chicago, March 6. After hearing considerable argument by counsel. Municipal Judge Crowe has decided that "shot to pieces," as applied to some automobiles, is a perfectly good term. In a suit before him yesterday a salesman testified that a certain auto mobile was "all shot to pieces" before it entered a warehouse. "I object to that term." said an at torney, and then came the prolonged discussion. "Is that term 'shot to pieces' used by automobile men?" Judge Crowe asked. "Yes. sir, it is a common expres sion." 1 "If that is so, I will have to admit the phrase into the evidence," ruled the court, "although the term is not exactly a good one from a legal stand point."
