STATE PRINTER BUST. Take Till Midnight Saturday to Gets Bills to Governor. Samuel Zimmerman to Be Pay master K. N. G. The final adjournment of the legislature will not take place tonight as provided for in the resolution adopted early in the week. The ses sion will continue until tomorrow night and possibly until Monday. All the bills passed have not yet reached the governor and the engrossment of these bills will likely occupy the clerical force until late tomorrow. The governor has signed 165 bills up to S o'clock Thursday evening. There are a large number of these meas ures yet to consider. The time of ad journment was extended by the few members of the two houses still on duty at the request of the governor. State Auditor Nation and Senator Glenn drew up a bill which will place the school lands of Kansas on a prac tical business basis. The fraud and scandal of the leasing system has been done away with. This bill was passed by the legislature. Speaking of the measure, Mr. Nation said: "The law just passed, and which has already taken effect, wipes out the leasing law absolutely. The leas ing law was a fraud from the begin ning. Under cover of a lease pros pective settlers were excluded from settlement and the best school land used with practically no income for the school fund. Speculators obtained leases at a nominal price, and by collusion with the county officers con verted themselves into settlers or sold their lease-hold right to the detriment of the state. "This law provides that any bona fide settler may have his land ap praised by making application to the county superintendent. Heretofore a settler was required, after he had lived on the land six months, to ob tain a petition signed by twenty householders of the township in which the land was located. N "This law provides that the rights of contesting settlers shall be tried out before the probate Judge. Here tofore the probate Judge was required to accept proof of settlement from all parties, the county clerk Was re quired to issue certificates of pur chase, and the county treasurer was required to accept money from all parties as well. The result was that different parties would sometimes make application to the state auditor for patent to the same land on the same day. "This law also requires that a person must be 21 years of age, or the head of a family, before he can settle on school land. Under the old law a child 10 years old could settle on school land for homestead purposes. This law, how ever, does not disturb the rights of minors who have settled on school land prior to the passage of this law. "This law gives the purchasers who ore now in default in the payment of Interest or principal ten months In which to pay up. On failure to do this such defaulting purchaser loses all right to or interest In the land. Any person hereafter who shall fail to make a pay ment of principal or interest within ten months after it is due forfeits all his rights, and such land is thereupon open for settlement and purchase. Heretofore the law required defaulting purchasers to be served with a notice, and the technicalities attending the service of this notice were such that it was diffi cult to obtain a good forfeiture on school land, and subsequent sales had been at tended with considerable hazard to the purchasers. "This law also provides a severe pen alty on the county treasurer for failure to remit school land moneys semi-annually to the state treasurer. All ex penses connected with the appraisement and sale of school lands are required to be audited by the state auditor before orders are drawn for payment. These orders are drawn by the county clerk j (notour ff thA Pftltntv SlinttHntAnont t- instead of the county superintendent as heretofore. Under the old law the fees of the appraisers and county officers were paid by the order of the county superintendent, tne state auditor having no check on such payments. The state has been defrauded out of thousands of dollars on the account of the payment of illegal fees and outrageous and ex orbitant charges. The new law also fixes specifically the fees that shall be allowed in the appraisement and sale of school lands." Governor Stubbs has received a peti tion from one hundred farmers in Dickinson county urging him to sign the mortgage recording tax bill. Gov ernor Johnson of Minnesota has also telegraphed his endorsement of the measure to Representative Case, its author. Speaker Dolley fought for this bill on the floor of the house. Governor Stubbs has been urged by some peopU? not to sign the bill, but it is generally believed that he will do so. A public utilities bill along the same lines as the Stone bill that was defeated in the Kansas legislature has been in troduced in the Missouri legislature and there is every likelihood that it will be passed. The home rule plan of governing utilities has been tried in Missouri and found wanting. The state has now about concluded to try a state commission to be appointed by the gov ernor. The legislature has adjourned but th-j state printer is covered up with work It will keep the plant busy night an', day until far into the night Saturday night to get all the enrolled bills back to the governor. State Printer McNeal figures that the 1909 session law book will contain about 500 pages, as against 687 for the 1907, and 1,09 for the 1905 statutes. Two years ago the book con tained 444 chapters. Four years ago it contained 545. This session it will con tain only 336 chapters. Or ti.3 JWB bills and resolutions enacted during tne en tire session, this time. 165 of them FRIDAY EVENING. went to the state printer for enroll ment during the last two days of the session. The People's State band at Ross ville, Kan., was given a charter Thurs day afternoon by the charter board. This bank's capital will be $15,000 and $3,000 paid up surplus. The stock holders are all Shawnee county people, about twenty-five of them being farm ers and merchants of Rossville, and a half dozen Topeka people. Dr. H. F. Pratt of Rossville was elected president at the organization held last week and C. E. Gresser of Topeka, cashier. The latter has been with the Central National bank of this city for over five years and was em ployed for a similar period previously at the Citizen's State bank. The directors are J. K. Miller and C. E. Gresser of Topeka; Dr. H. F. Pratt, Ira T. Hopkins, Vine Martinek, Morris Bond and H. L. Fontaine of Rossville. A new building will be erected at once for the bank to occupy and thev expect to be ready for business in about s!x weeks. It is reported on good authority that County Clerk Samuel Zimmerman is to receive the nice little job of pay master for the new adjutant general, ex-Senator Martin of Fort Scott. The place pays about $475 per year and the' duties are not at all arduous. NEW WORLD'S RECORD. Madison Team I tolls Big- Score 1.304 at Pittsburg. of Pittsburg, March 12. The world's record for two men bowling teams was broken today by Al Schwegler and Tony Schwoegler of Madison, Wis., when they rolled 1,304. The previous record was 1,254. held by Chalmers and Kiene of Chicago. Today's was the second national world's mark made since the begin ning of the tournament. The first world's record score was made last Saturday night, when the Lipan five-men team of Chicago run up 2,962, beating the Cincinnati rec ord of last year by 35 pins. Much interest is attached to the meeting of delegates attending the ninth annual International tournament of the American Bowling congress which will be held this afternoon. The greatest interest centers in the presi dency and it is believed that August Herrmann of Cincinnati, the present head of the organization, will be re elected and forced to accept. Mr, Herrmann yesterday announced, how ever, that he would like to retire. Early today several other men identi fied with bowling affairs are prepar ing to succeed Herrmann should he absolutely refuse the office. Anion? them are Robert Bryson of Indian apolis, who is said to have a large fol lowing: Today's session of the tournament started at 8 a. m. During the day and tonight five double, ten singles and two five-men team events will be played. Teams from Cincinnati and Milwaukee .predominate today. To night, "Chicago night," will .be cele brated. Following are the figures of the World's record score: First game -Al Schwoegler, 188; Tony Schwoegler, 223. Second game Al Schwoegler, 196; Tony Schwoegler, 263. Third game Al Schwoegler, 244; Tony Schwoegler, 190. Total Al Schwoegler, 628; Tony Schwoegler, 676. Superstition, apparently, is a stranger to the Schwoegler brothers. The game was played on Friday, rolled on No. 13 alley and 13 appears in the score. The high scores in the first event follow:- Koepl-Moling, Columbus, 1,198; Ellis-Rosenbauch, Grand Rapids, 1, 193; Sutton-Kallusch, Rochester, 1, 124; Kumpar-Grotenrath. Cleveland, 1,119; Gettrost-Kirby, Columbus, 1,101. RECORD WIPED OUT. Boy Enlistment Canceled to Save His Mother's Life. Cincinnati, March 12. To save his mother's life the record of a bov's en listment in the United States navy will be erased by the officer in charge of the local recruiting station in this city. The young man is Lee Wetter strand, whose parents reside at La tonia, Ky. He enlisted at the local recruiting office March 4, but failed to show up to be sent to the naval training station in Norfolk, Va., and was proclaimed a deserter. He was arrested by the Latonia po lice and brought to the recruiting office. His father accomDanied him ana pieaaea with f ioiltf.n-nt YXr,. mann. in charge of the recruiting of-

nee, 10 release tne Doy. He said Lee was 17 years old and that he enlisted witnout consulting his parents. He had since been detained at home as a solace to his mother, who is critical ly ill. If he is taken from her and sent to sea, the father said, it would kill her. Lieutenant Wortmann decided that in order to save the mother's life, the young man should be restored to his parents, and the record of his enlist ment erased. MISS ROBERTS BETTER.

Because of a false report that a woman had at tempted to kill herself, another wo man today lies dead at a hospital, the victim of a police ambulance hurrying to take charge of the reported suicide. The unfortunate, who is still unidenti fied, while crossing the street in front of the ambulance became confused, turned back and was ground beneath the wheels. We can save von monpv nn that lum ber bill. J. B. Whelan Co. Tela.. 865. SNOW INKANSAS. Expected Storm From South' west Sweeps Over State. Eight to Twelve Inches Fall in Western Portion. NOT MUCH IN TOPEKA. Beports From Some Sections Indicate Drifting. Will Prore a Great Boon to State's Wheat Crop. Just enough fell during last night to save the reputation of the local weather department, .9 of an inch of snow which measured .06 of an inch of water. The temperatures were high during the night, the minimum being but a few degrees below the freezing point and there has been a gradual rise of the mercury since and nearly all of last night's fall of snow has disappeared. The storm was a sort of a left over portion of a general storm which swept over the country from the Pan handle country of Texas to the north west. It formed, however, in Arizona, and struck Kansas at the west bor der Thursday morning and crossed the state with express train speed, reaching Topeka shortly after dark. It tarried for an hour or so and passed on and the section of the storm which visited Kansas is in all probability traversing eastern Missouri today. The unsettled conditions indicate that an other light fall of snow may occur in this section of the state at any time. Hutchinson, Kan., March 12. Snow has been falling since noon Thursday. Because some western wires are down along the Santa Fe the office here has to relay everything from a large part of Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado to day. The wind has been blowing hard a part of the day, and the snow, which is light, is drifting. The Rock Island's Golden State Limited and two fruit trains on that line in New Mexi co are reported snowbound. Liberal, Kan., March 12. A blind ing snow fell Thursday. The fall be gan early and still continues. AH trains from the west are blockaded and at Alamogordo, N. M., two freight trains are in sixteen feet of snow. This is the first snow this season. Wichita, Kan., March 12. Another heavy snow fell in southern Kansas last night the snowfall amounting to two inches and from, the indications the total fall will nearly equal that of Tuesday night, which was twelve inches. Concordia, Kan., March 12. A steady fall of snow, which began Thursday continued all day. It is the best of the winter and will be of great value to wheat, which has suffered some from dry weather and high wind. Downs, Kan., March 12. Snow be gan falling early 'rnursday morning and continued all day without drift ing and covering the ground to the depth of four or five inches, which put the wheat in fine condition. Lakin, Kan., March 12. The first big snow of the 1909 winter fell Thursday, covering the earth eight inches or more. Wheat growers are joyful over the outlook for a good crop. Salina. Kan:. March 12. Another snow began here Thursday afternoon and has been falling the most of the time since. A high north wind prevails and the temperature is declining stead ily. Indications are for more snow. Osborne. -Kan.. March 12. Snow fell throughout Osborne county Thursday to a depth of eight inches. It is still snowing, but not drifting. Wakeeney. Kan.. March 12. It snow ed all day here Thursday, the fall at 6 o'clock being six or seven inches, which when melted gave 0.64 incn precipita tion. This is more moisture than has fallen here in the preceding fourteen weeks and a welcome change from the exceedingly high, dry winds so pre valent recently. This snow will be of exeat benefit to the wheat, some of which was beginning to suffer. The snow is drifting considerably but the weather is not very cold. HEAVY IMPORTATION More Raw Material Coming in Than for Two Years. Washington, March 12. Renewed ac tivity in the country's manufacturing is shown in figures, prepared by the bureau of statistics, comparing im ports of manufacturers materials dur ing January last with those of the two preceding Januaries. In practically all cases the importa tions of manufacturers' raw materials in January, 1909, show a large advance over that of one year ago and in not a few cases the figures are actually larger than those of January, 1907, when all the industries of the country were running to their full capacity of production. The quantity of wool, for example, imported in January, 1909, was more than 24,000,000 pounds against 9,500,000 pounds in January, 1908, and 15,000,000 pounds in January, 1907. Of lumber there was Imported in January, 1909, 35,785,000 feet against 30,744,000 feet in January, 1908, and 44,747,000 feet in Jan uary, 1907. New Dirigible Record. J Freiderishafen, March 12. The Zeppelin airship, which went up from Lake Constance, this morning, at tained an altitude of over 3,000 feet. a record height for steerable bal loons. Varied and difficult maneuvers were carried out at this height with great success. Bryson Is Elected President. Pittsburg, Pa., March 12. Robert H. Bryson of Indianapolis, was elected president of the -American Bowline- congress today. TOPKKA, KANSAS, MARCH 12, CHANGE INAUGURATION. Representative Henry of Texas Would Make It Come on April 30. Washington, March lL Representative Henry of Texas has asked permission of Speaker Cannon to Introduce in the Sixty first congress a joint resolution to amend the constitution of the United States to change the date of inauguration from March 4 to April 30. v. UTTEITa PROTEST. County Commissioners Ask Governor to Veto Tax Bill. At a called meeting of the board of county commissioners of Shawnee coun ty, Kan., held today, the provisions of senate bill No. 428 were laid before the board by the county treasurer and county clerk. It appears from the provisions of the bill that the rebates heretofore allow ed for the payment of taxes in full have been eliminated; that the amounts to be collected at the December and June payments have been changed from one-nan: at eacn to two-tnirds and one- third respectively; that the penalties imposed for failure to pay in Decem ber and June remain the same as in the present law. It has been proven, say the members of the board, that the enforcement of the amended pro visions will serve no good end and on the contrary will work a hardship to tne county and the officers charged with the enforcement of tax laws, and that there has been no demand from any source for the enactment of such amended laws. The proposed law will reauire addi tional clerk hire in the treasurer's of fice and the office of the county clerk and even then there will not be time enough allowed by its provisions to properly check the tax rolls after the final payment period in order to pre pare the delinquent tax list for the printer, as required by law. The pre paration of the delinquent list Involves work of such importance that errors due to such hurried work will cause tax sales of doubtful validity and end less litigation if the requirements of the proposed law are Insisted upon. The loss of the rebates to Shawnee county are offset by the interest- re ceived on deposits in the local deposi tories, and the prompt payment of tax es at the first payment period. The delays during the rush of payment periods will be so great that the tax payers will blame .the officers of the county with instituting laws against their interests, but which cannot be avoided when the treasurer and his clerks are compelled to -compute each item by thirds thereby necessitating a pencil calculation whereas a quick men tal calculation was all required under the old system. .That it will necessitate the rearrangement of the tax rolls, al ready in. the hands of the printer. The collection of two-thirds tax in Decem ber will not be nearly so remunerative as under the first payments under the present law. and will therefore necessi tate the wetting of just as many ra- celpts for the lasC third as would be written for the first payment, conse quently the checking of the tax rolls will be so delayed at Just the time when time is the most important factor that unending grief will follow and tax sales will be voided. -v The following resolution was adopted by the board, of county commissioners and has been forwarded to Governor Stubbs with a formal protest, against the bill becoming a law: "Therefore, be it resolved, by the board of county commissioners of said county and state, that we do here by enter our solemn protest against senate bill No. 428 becoming a law, and that we hereby earnestly ask Governor W. R. Stubbs to exercise his authority as chief executive of this state- by ve toing the proposed law, believing that he will thus have prevented from be coming law a bill that is without rea sonable support from taxpayers or of ficers connected with its enforcement. "Resolved, further, that a copy of this proceeding be presented to Governor Stubbs by the county clerk at once.1 "HAVE THEM LICKED. Tlic "Regulars" Are Confident Victory Over Insurgents. of Washington, March 12. President Taft had a conference today with Speaker Cannon, Senators Burton and Nelson and former Representative Watson. At its termination Mr. Can non said he had nothing to say for publication, except it s a very hne day and I am glad I am alive." "We have got them licked. This is a statement of fact and not predic tion," said Mr. Watson, having refer ence to the position of the "regulars" in the house in their skirmish with the "insurgents." President Taft's special message to congress, which is to be sent to that body next Tuesday was not in shape to be read to his second cabinet meet ing today. It was the first meeting of the fun Tart cabinet and photographs were taken in the cabinet room of the members sitting around the historic table and Mr. Taft presiding. Weather Is Warmer. The sun has tried hard to shine ever since morning though it has had but little luck and the weather con ditions have remained threatening though not so much so that snow has been expected by any one excepting those in charge of the weather bureau and they do not expect it un til tonight or Saturday. The tempera tures have been above the freezing point since 11 o clock and all of last night's fall of snow as well as some of the fall of the previous 24 hours has disappeared. The forecast in dicates threatening weather conditions tonight with probable snow flurries tonight and Saturday without much change In the temperature. The fol lowing were the temperature readings since 7 o'clock this morning: 7 o'clock 28 I'll o'clock. .32 8 o'clock 28 112 o'clock 32 9 o'clock 28) 1 o'clock 33 10 o'clock 30 I 2 o'clock 34 To Talk Cam Contest.

The question of a poultry raising con test will also come up at this meeting and it is more than likely that a con test of this kind will be arranged and prizes offered for the best specimen of chicken kingdom raised by the farmer boys and girls of Shawnee county. 1909. SHORTS70,00G l Former State Treasurer of Utah Is in Jail. Used State Money to Speculate In Mining Ventures: HIS BONDSMEN PUT UP Books of the State Auditor Were Tampered With. Discovery of This Brought Out the Whole Story. fcalt Lake City, March 12. James Christiansen, former state treasurer, ionowing nis concession of his re sponsibility for a shortage of over $70,000 in the state treasury, Is under arrest and is now ih,Jail here. The money, it is acknowledged, was used in speculations in Nevada mining ven tures. Christiansen was state treasurer for the four year term ending at the be ginning of the present year. The shortage in the accounts was discov ered a few days ago through the checking of the accounts by the state board of examiners. At the time Christiansen was in Nevada, where he has extensive mining interests. In response to a telegram apprising mm 01 tne discovery he returned to bait Lake and admitted his shortage The exact amount is $70,628.04. and this has been deposited to the credit or the state by the bondsmen and rriends of the ex-official. upon relinquishing his office as state treasurer to his successor, David Mattson, Mr. Christiansen accepted a position as temporary deputy state auditor. It was discovered last week that an item on the auditor's books charging Salt Lake county with $186, 000 had been tampered with and an attempt made to make It show $108.- 000. The hadwriting was not that of 000. The handwriting was not that of the investigation followed. HE SPEAKS 11 HOURS, General Washington Completes His Argument in the Cooper Case. Nashville, Tenn., March 12. When the trial of Col. D. B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp, for the slaying of former Senator E. W. Car mack was resumed today. General Washington of the defense continued his argument. General Washington said: ""I want to direct your attention to James C. Bradford. Ho enters the case the morning of the tragedy at the Maxwell house, when the gover nor telephones to him and at once his good offices are apparent in the effort to avert a tragedy. Yet these hungry, starving lawyers for the prosecution, hungry and starving for facts, would have you believe that this splendid lawyer, this Christian gentleman, this son of an arlstrocatlc old family, sud denly became a raging he-devil, thirst ing for blood and plotting for mur der." General Washington read part of the testimony of John J. Vertrees, concerning his conversation with Judge Bradford about the note Cooper had written to carmack. He argued that every line of Vertrees' testimony proved that Bradford's one object was to prevent any kind of trouble. Then he passed on to Adjutant General Telly Brown, to whom he paid a tri bute as a confederate soldier and added: "I tell- you Brown Is as much a hero as liobson was. Yet they say he lied." General Washington referred to Miss Lee. He said she was in the of fice entertaining company. "I am not surprised," said he, "that she did not hear the telephone ring. She and Mrs. Blake were talking about a new hat." Makes Fun for Crowd. General Washington, in a falsetto voice indulged in mimicry of the two young women. The crowd that lined up behind the defendants, previously referred to by uenerai Aiccarn as me defendants "rooters," laughed repeat edly at the antics of the attorney. Judge Hart rapped for order, but the deputies made no effort to suppress the demonstration. These "rooters" climb on the step of the bench, face the jury and appar ently endeavor to convey the approval over the Judges snouiaers to tne 13 men who are trying the case. Judge Hart has repeatedly cleared them off. When the laughter began again today he cleared the steps again and ordered the deputies to keep them cleared. General Washington, once more reached the actual shooting and called a messenger boy to help him re-enact the tragedy. This was the third time the speaker has described the tragedy. "You are Carmack," he exclaimed. Washington seized the automatic re volver crouched down with gleaming eyes and bristling mustache. The boy, frightened, began to back away as Washington stealthily advanced. The crowd laughed and the Judge did too. Grabs Another Boy. "A son who sees his father's enemy, revolver in hand, and does not kill that enemy as he would a mad dog, is not fit to be food for worms," the attorney declared. "Now, let's see where Robin Cooper was," declared Washington a moment later. Another boy had come In and Washington grabbed him. "You are Robin now," he said. "Carmack sees you. Bang: Dangj iwu wiuw. w ny does he not shoot Robin again? Be cause Robin has shot him and he is dead." Again and again the attorney re-enacted the tragedy. Again and again he declared Robin had a right to shoot Carmack like a dog. Again and again he declared that Carmack was a cow ard that hid behind Mrs. Eastman try ing to get his revolver into position for action. General Washington concluded after having spoken 11 hours. Weather Indications. Chicago, March 12. Forecast for Kansas: Threatening with probably snow tonight and Saturday, Not much changa in temperature. FRIDAY EVENING. SHE IS BURIED IX JOFLIN. Body of Mrs. Nancy Staffleback In terred by Daughter. Joplin, Mo., March 12. The body of Mrs. Nancy Wilson, better known as Mrs. Staffleback. who died Tuesday in the Kansas penitentiary, was sent here by the prison authorities and after ly ing in a morgue all day was claimed by a daughter, Mrs. Emma Mitchell, last night. The body was buried today in the Cox cemetery. FOR RACE SUICIDE. Quality Not Quantity Is What Cleve land Woman Wants. Cleveland, March 12. "Let's oult rais ing children till we can take care of those we have. Let's abolish sentimen talism and substitute common sense. In race suicide, so-called, lies the sal vation of the race." Such is the plea of Mrs. Sarah K. Meredith, recording secretary of the Ohio W. C. T. U. who has stepped to the front as an advocate of race sui cide. "Quality, not quantity." is the key stone on which Mrs. Meredith bases her arsuments. "I believe it is next to criminal." savs she, "to scatter the doctrine 'marry and raise a family' without taking into con sideration whether the man and woman are fit to marry and whether the future of the children at least in a measure is assured." TO PROMOTE FIGHT. Mcintosh Offers $50,000 for JefXrles Joluison Bout. New York, March 12. Hugh Mc intosh, who promoted the world's championship prize fight between Johnson and Burns in Sydney, ar rived today on the steamer Maure tania from Liverpool. Mcintosh an nounced before leaving Australia that he had a purse of $50,000 to offer for a ngnt Detween Johnson and Jeffries if the two men would consent to fight for the world's championship in Aus tralia. Mcintosh said today that he would be satisfied for the contest to take place in either England, France or Australia, but prefered .England. He said his sole purpose in coming here was to see Jeffries and try to induce him to take on Johnson. His offer of a $50,000 purse stood, de declared. "I am satisfied that Jeffries can be trained and brought into fit condition for the fight," said Mcintosh. "For him to enter the ring with Johnson without being, in best condition, how ever, would be extremely foolish, for Johnson is a wonderful fighter. There is no man living who can beat John son without being in the best of con dition, and whether he can be beaten at all now remains to be seen. It was hard work to get Jeffries In condition when Jeffries was only 24 years old. It will therefore be sn extremely hard matter now, but I am pretty certain that it can be done." Mcintosh said he wanted to ar range for the fight to take place with in six months. He added that if Jef fries could be got into fighting con dition at all, the work of making him fit could be done in six months. HE THREW A BOMB. Clarence Darrow Treats Prohibition ists to a Surprise. Chicago, March 12. Clarence S. Dar row, introduced to several hundred pro hibitionist banqueters as "our distin guished guest who has so kindly con sented to be butchered to make a pro hibition holiday," was not a willing sac rifice at the fifth annual banquet of the Cook County Prohibitionists last night. According to the programme Mr. Dar row was to engage in something on the order of a debate with Oliver W. Stew art, former member of the Illinois leg islature. It was not to be a real debate. because each was to speak only once, but before Mr. Darrow had fairly, launched his argument against prohibi tion more than a score of his hearers began assailing his doctrine, and his address became a sort of informal dis cussion. "You prohibitionists don't care how many graves are filled," Mr. Darrow said, "as long as they are not drunk ard's graves. There Is no political cap ital for you in the fact that one person in every five dies of tuberculosis." Among the causes killing as many people as rum Mr. Darrow cited tobacco, tea, coffee and corsets. Mr. Stewart's reply was In the na ture of an argument against the licensed saloon. LOOKS LIKE A VETO. Governor In Doubt About the Mortgage Registration Bin. Governor Stubbs will likely veto the bill providing for a registration tax on mortgages some time this after noon. The governor has signed all bills that have reached him excepting this mortgage tax bill and the measure providing for the building of armories in cities where a national guard com pany is organized. He is in doubt over these two bills, and very much so as regards the mortgage bill. This proposed tax on mortgages provides for a tax in the shape of a registration of $5 on the thousand on all mortgages. The objections the governor has to the bill aref that in the end the borrower and not the lend er, will have to pay the tax, also that it is not equitable, as it provides that the fee covers the case during the full life of the mortgage. For instance, a mortgage of J 1,000 running for one year would be taxed $5 and a mort gage running for ten years would es cape with the same fee. While the governor has not reached a definite conclusion in the matter it is the belief that he will veto the bill. SOCSA A CRACK SHOT. Bandmaster Scored 'first Honors Trap Snoot. In Flneburst. N.

VICTIM JIFRECALL Mayor Harper of Los Angeles Gives Up His Office After Serving More Than Tvro Thirds of His Term. HE QUITS THE RACE. For He-election, Which the Lair Entitled Him to Make. Had Promised a Newspaper to Retire Upon Demand. Los Angeles, March 12. Mayor A. C. Harper has tendered his resignation aa mayor. He declined to make any state ment in regard to his action. The mayor has been a candidate for re election at a special election called for March 26 under the recall clause of tha city charter. He had been recalled from office by a petition signed by 10,000 voters because of various allegation of misconduct made against him. Following his resignation. Mayor Harper announced that he would with draw as a candidate for re-election. This created surprise, coming In tha neat or tne campaign. It follows close ly the resignation of Edwin Kern as a member of the board of public wurki whose appointment by Mayor Harper is given by the opponents of the mayor aa the principal reason for the recall. For several months two local news papers have been publishing articles attacking Mayor Harper's administra tion and private life. Mayor Harper had promised an afternoon newspaper that he would withdraw his name whenever the paper demanded. Tha demand was made yesterday. In explanation of its action in mak ing the demand the paper asserts that "the reasons that it has taken this drastic action are unpubllsha.ble," and it did so after searching the mayor's official and private record in order to protect the people of Los Angeles. Mayor Harper was elected on the Democratic ticket for a three year term and has served two years and three months. City Without a Head. The city council met this morning and accepted the resignation of Mayor A. C. Harper. Action in the selection of a successor was postponed to next Monday in order that advice be had on the question whether an appoint ment should be made to hold office to March 26, the date of the recall of the ejection, or to January 1, the tnd of the present terra. Attorneys before the council voiced opposing opinions on this subject thl morning. As the matter now stands the city is without an official head. President Niles Pease of the city council is acting mayor during tha interim, witnout oeing able, howeve. to exercise the full powers of tha office. Harper's resignation was ac cepted by unanimous vote. A crowd of several hundred citizens thronged the city hall this morning and completely filled the council chamber. Their determined temper was evident In the applause and hisses which they bestowed upon the speak ers who urged the council to take action.

Spend Three Hours Planning for the Fight on Rules. Washington, March 12. For more than three hours the Republican "in surgents" discussed behind closed 3oors the details of the fight they propose to make next Monday, when the Sixty-first congress convenes, against the adoption of the rules of the last house to govern it. The leaders expressed entire satisfaction with the size of the meet ing, claiming at least ten more mem bers would vote with them against the rules. Much of the time at the meet ing was devoted to discussion of a compromise with the organization forces. The suggestion was made that the insurgents enter into a compromise with the regulars whereby a com mittee would be appointed at the be ginning of the special session to revise the rules of the house. Pending the report of the committee, the rules of the last house will be enforced. The sentiment of the meeting was that the speaker should not have the power of appointing the committee if such a compromise was agreed upon. Those present at the meeting were: Representatives Gardner and Lover ing of Massachusetts; Murdock and Madison of Kansas; Hubbard of Iowa; Mose, Cooper, Nelson, Kopp, Cary, Lenroot and Each of Wisconsin; Mil ler and Davis of Minnesota; Kincaid ctnd Hinshaw of Nebraska; Gronna of North Dakota, and Foindexter of Washington. It was stated at the meeting that telegrams had been received from Representatives Lindbrerg of Min nesota, Norris of Nebraska and Hayes of California that they would vote with the "insurgents." After the con ference, the "insurgents" declined to discuss the conclusions reached at the meeting. The compromise proposition did not meet with general approval. A programme for the parliamentary procedure for Monday was agreed upon, but not made public Chairman Gardner said: "The meeting voted unanimously to give the tariff bill a definite plan for a thorough revision of the rules. This programme will not be made public until congress is organised." WILSON STANDS FIRM. An Opposition to Te of Drugs in Bleaching Hour. Washington, March 12. A movement to Induce Secretary Wilson to modify or reverse his recent decision in which he held that flour bleached by nitrogen peroxide is an adulterated product un der the food and drugs act, is on foot. Hundreds of letters from millers of bleached flour in all parts of the coun try are being received daily by the sec retary asking him to refer his ruling to the referee board of scientific ex perts for review. In numerous in stances the communications are sent to members of congress and by them re ferred to the secretary of agriculture without any recommendation. That Secretary Wilson resolutely will stand by his decision is indicated by his re plies to the communications. "I am utterly hostile to having the people's food tampered with," declared the secretary. "We want to know that what we eat Is the pure product." WHITE MEETS GAXS TONIGHT.

Cliicago Physicians Form an Amalga mated Organization. Chicago, March 12. Chicago physi cians have formed a union an amalga mated organization identical to the Plumbers' union. Dr. Henry F. Lewis of the Chicago medical society vouched for this state ment. In a communication to the Physicians' club he declares that many members of the medical fraternity who publicly hold up their hands in "holy horror" at the thought of division in fees, themselves secretly participate in the practice. "I do not believe they are cloven hoofed," he declares. "Why should we condemn any man for making such an arrangement with a brother physician or with a surgeon? One physician tells us of a $5,000 fee collected by him from a millionaire patient who had spent $10,000 on a single night's debauch. Do you believe it would have been wrong or unethical for that physician to have consulted with the attending surgeon on the size of the fee? I do not think so. It would have been perfectly prop er, in my opinion, for them to have made out one bill and divided after wards or to have sent in their respec tive bills after an accounting between them had been made. "Why should the medical profession have a standard of ethics so different from that maintained by lawyers, architects or preachers." WILL WORK TOGETHER. Chicago to Go Into Partnership With Dock Companies. Chicago, March 12. A proposal that the city go into partnership with dock companies for the purpose of de veloping Chicago's harbor and lake commerce along the lines recommend ed by Mayor Busse's harbor commis sion has been made in a definite form to the municipal authorities and now is under consideration. The plan is to effect a joint agree ment between the city and the private corporations on the principle of the traction ordinances under which the company will finance and construct the harbor and the city will derive a percentage of the net receipts and have the right to purchase and oper ate the business at any time. The plan has assumed such shape that an ordinance embodying these principles will be drawn and intro duced into the city council within the next month. The proposition has taken on addi tional importance from the fact that the war department is about to grant federal permission for the construc tion of three piers which will run nearly half a mile into the lake. In addition the Chicago interests feel that they will have the friendly aid of the new secretary of war, Ja cob M. Dickinson who takes a deep interest in the development of Chi cago's harbor facilities. Biggest Snow in 15 Years. Des Moines, Ta., March 12.

BURT DEAD. Heart. Disease Claims Former Pana ma General Manager. Mount Vernon, N. T., March 12. George Albert Burt, who was general manager of the Panama railway dur ing the insurrection of 1885 is dead at his home near here from heart dis ease. It was Mr. Burt who cabled to President Cleveland from Panama during the insurrection:: "Unless you guarantee sufficient protection I shall withdraw every American citizen and proceed to the United States on a chartered vessel." .It was largely due to this message that President Cleve land called a midnight session of the cabinet and later sent a squadron to the isthmus to protect American in terests. Mr. Burt was a native of Massa chusetts, having been born at Fall River in 1846. He served throughout the civil war as an ensign on a United States frigate. After the war he was appointed vice consul at Guatemala and later became identified with the Panama railroad. He made the first diamond drill boring on the Panama canal and had always been a strong advocate of the sea level type. He was associated with others in the construc tion of the first electric railway in the United States at Richmond, Va. A widow and two children survive him. SPORADIC TEACHING. Term Applied to Work in the Sunday School Room. New Tork, March 12. Speaking last night before the New Tork Sun day School association convention. Dr. M. Woolsey Stryker, president of Hamilton college denounced what he styled sporadic teaching in Sunday school classes. He said there were too many teachers who had no particular know ledge of their subject and he urged a more serious study of the Bible. "The basis of Christian faith," he said, "Is historic fact. It is in the book, and we have got to know the fact and the book." Other speakers did not agree with Dr. Stryker for they declared that he had failed to take into account the self sacrifice of the vast army of 1, 500,000 unpaid Sunday school teach ers in this country. Robert Watchorn, commissioner of immigration, who was one of those who took issue with Dr. Stryker said, "if we waited until everybody knew the Bible from Genesis to Revelations, we should all be irreligious." TAFT FULL OF HOPE. He Says His Is to Be an Optimistic Administration. Washington, March 12.

The Senate Will Not Let Any thing Interfere With Its "Stand Pat" Position on the Tariff. THE WEST WILL FIGHT Against Putting Its Products on the Free List. These Include Wool, Fruits and Ores. Hides, Washington, March 12. The Repub lican members of the committee on fin ance will begin a systematic study of the new tariff bill as soon as copies are obtained. They feel the importance of pressing the measure to a speedy de termination and Senator Aid rich as chairman of the committee has said that he would make an effort to have the bill reported as soon as possible after its passage by the house. The bill cannot, of" course, be official' iy considered by the committee as a whole until after it has been passed by the house and transferred to the senate in the usual formal manner. It is believed, however, that the house will make few changes in the bill after it Is reported from the committee on ways and means and the Republican members of the senate on finance feel that they will have in the house bill as good a basis for their opinions as they will have after that measure has re ceived the consideration of the house itself. It Is conceded that many changes will be made in the senate and that most of tbem will be suggested by the fin ance committee. In the senate the smaller states ahve a greater propor tionate representation than in the house and if the bill as it comes from the house, should fail to give what Is con sidered adequate protection to some of their industries, there would undoubt edly be a strenuous effort by the sena tors from those states to restore the desired equilibrium. Where the West Stands. The thinly populated states of the west- are especially interested in the protection of wool, hides, fruits, lead ore, copper, eta, and. will unquestiona bly resist any effort to discriminate against them, and they would regard as such effort the placing of any of these articles on the free list. i As the committee on finance is at present constituted the far west is without representation on it. There is little doubt, however, that in the reor-i ganization this defect will be remedied,! but even though there should be noi change in this respect, the senators are still conndent that tne committee would take care of their interests. If it should fail to do so they will make their fight on the senate floor., While Senator Aidrieh s hope is to have the bill in shape to be reported soon after it comes from the house.much will depend upon the character of the house measure- and the disposition of the members of the finance committee. Unquestionably, the controlling desire in the senate will be to make the bill a distinctively protective measure and it is not believed that tne itepunxican sen ators will permit even their desire tor haste to cause them to sacrince tnis feature of it. DELUGE OF BILLS. One Congressman Has 500 Ready for Presentation. Washington, March 12. The deluge of bills introduced at the opening of each session of congress promises to be as great for the special session which will begin next Monday as for the regular sessions despite the pros pect that little legislation other than the tariff bill will receive considera tion. Five hundred bills were today presented to the clerk by. one repre sentative alone. All or tnem were in troduced at the last session and many have been reintroduced year after year. Their presentation in advance of introduction gives the file clerks an opportunity to record them in the regular way. It is claimed that the number of bills introduced at a session has in creased over fifty per cent in the last five years. Members at the beginning of each session are accustomed to re introduce the unsuccessful bills which they have offered in the preceding ses sion. Pension bills are often introduced by a representative year after year and in a few instances the person for whose benefit such a measure was in tended has been dead for several years. Although members with few excep tions can rarely procure action by the pension committee on more than five bills during a session, some of .them introduce several hundred such meas ures. The members who have been in the house for a number of years in troduce fewer bills than the new members. There were 28,440 bills in troduced in the house during the last session and over 9,000 in the senate. JUDGMENT RECORDED. In the Case of ITncle Sam Against the Sugar Trust. New Tork, -March 12. Assistant United States District Attorney Denny has recorded in the United States dis trict court the final judgment against the American Sugar Refining company for $184,411 which includes the penal ties Imposed for false weighing and the expense of the recent suit won by the federal government. In connection with the case William Loeb, jr., the new collector of customs at this port, issued a statement say ing that he had ordered a re-liquidation of the duties of the entries of the American Sugar Refining company from the time of the formation of the company, December 1, 1901, down to the discovery of the fraud. DROP IN NATURAL GAS. The Stock Becomes a Xotable Feature on the Pittsburg Market. Pittsburg, March 12. The feature of the stock market here yesterday was Kansas natural gas, which was again inclined to be heavy. The stock sold off from 45 to 40, closing at 44 on small sales. It opened today at 44 and then broke to 43. There have been several reports about the company, one being that the dividend may be suspended to help pay for the new pipe line to Kansas City. SCANDALOUS FRAUDS. Discovered in Connection With Affairs of French, Navy. Paris, March -12. France, like the United States, Is confronted with a big deficit in her revenues. The bud get of 1909 necessitated the issue of $12,000,000 in treasury bonds, while the regular estimates for 1910, show a deficit of $45,600,000. This situation complicates the pro-, posal to revise the French tariff and it already has precipitated a quarrel be tween M. Cailloux, minister of finance and M. Pi card, minister of marine, over the insistence of the latter on large credits to restore the efficiency of naval material. Scandalous corruption in the matter of naval contracts revealed lately by M. Picard has startled the country, and the minister of marine, has prac tically refused to continue in office un less he is granted sufficient funds to put the navy in first class order. It has been learned that a regular monopoly existed among the navy contractors, who charged exorbitant prices and made enormous profits. M. Brousse, a member of the chamber of deputies, who investigated the navy accounts in behalf of the finance com mission, reports that millions have been swallowed up without ally ben efit to the navy. In one case boilers costing $150,000 were purchased for ships that were put out of commis sion before the boilers were furnished. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

New York Imlepedents to Adopt Xew Political Course. Xew York, March 12. In order to obtain for the office of mayor of New York a man of sufficient merit and honesty to carry out the changes pro posed in the new city charter. Pro moters of an independent movement for the election of a "purified" municipal ticket proposed to pay him an annual salary of $125,000 a year, or from theterm of four years a bonus of $500,000 over and above the regular salary of the office. It is suggested that the "difference be raised by popular subscription. A statement issued by those active In the movement,' who as yet designate them selves merely as tax payers says in part: "Such a man for a job should be found among the younger generations on the 'captains of industry.' In commercial life a man should count his income in the hundreds of thou sands. Therefore let 25 public spirited citizens pledge themselves anony mously as far as the public is con cerned to contribute every year dur ing the next four years an amount sufficient to produce in the aggregate the sum of $125,000 a year." If any one accepts this unique offer- and if elected he must not be a candidate for re-election nor par ticipate in any pertisan politics during his incumbency. Backers of the plan assert that radical measures are neces sary because of almost six years of the worst government that any city in any civilized community has ever endured.' James Bronson Reynolds who was a special investigator in the Roose velt administration, has arrived in Xew York and opened an office in Fifth avenue. It is said that he has the backing of Mr. Roosevelt in bring ing about fusion of all anti-Tammany forces in the mayoralty campaign this fall Mr. Reynolds names among other possibilities for mayor on the fusion ticket President Nicholas Mur ray Butler of Columbia university. Killed in Fight Over a Dog. Hot Springs, Ark., March 12. Wil liam Garrett of Portland, Oregon, was kileld' last night by Harry English Jn .a fight of a moment over a small terrier dog. The principals were strangers. Garrett'c pet dog grabbed the trousers leg of English, a hotel keeper, and English kicked the dog.

Soft coal oper ators held a meeting in New York yes terday while the anthracite men were conferring with the leaders of the min ers' union in Philadelphia. No state ment was issued after the meeting, but it was said unofficially that the con lerence concerned rates and not labor problems. There has been dissatisfac tion for some time among the operators on the roads east of Pittsburg because operators of West Virginia had a lower rate than those In Pennsylvania. It is presumed that the conference here was for the purpose of adjusting this matter. LOSS $28,502,697 As Result of Forest Fires in Michigan Last Year. Lansing. Mich., March 12. Before the senate committee on forestry interests Carl E. Schmidt of Detroit has present ed a resume of a report of Messrs. Bradfield and Wynne, United States forestry experts, who investigated the effects of last October's forest fires in northern Michigan. The experts esti mated the loss at $28,602,697. This in cludes timber and property destroyed and money spent in fighting the fires. The fires destroyed 1,000.000 feet of timber which is equal to one year's cut at the present rate of lumbering in Michigan. It is estimated that beforo the fires there were 11,000,000 feet of standing timber in the state. NOISELESS WHELLS. Chicago Railways Will Purchase Ten Thousand. Chicago, March 12.

The best basket ball fives in the nine states will be invited to compete in the games. THE PURE FOOD LAW. Suggested That Sunlight Might Come Under Its Jurisdiction. It is generally conceded that the new food laws are somewhat stringent in many particulars, but excellent as a whole. There are, however, many articles now offered for sale in this state not touched by the provisions of this law, that could well be regulated. Our minds are so much on what we eat when discussing the food laws that we seemingly forget other things that are conducive to our physical comfort and well being. Take, for in stance, sunlight. We rarely think of light as giving health and strength to both animal and vegetable life, yet nothing, not even the food we eat, contributes more to this end. If any food were' offered to you with but ten per cent of the genuine, you'd simply be astounded yet that is all the eye gets of natural light through an article sold by thousands, and that is the spectacle and eyeglass lens now so generally in use. That's all the eye gets of natural light through the lens you now wear, or will wear some time. The lenses made until very recently, practically shut out all the best part of light. The capital city of Kansas has the credit for placing 'on the mar ket a pure light lens. The Health Ray Lens, manufactured here in To peka and sold all over the Central West, will transmit to the eye all of natural sunlight in natural propor tions, and will meet the most string ent pure food law requirements. While there has been some talk of an amendment to the present law, pro hibiting the use of glass for eye use, unless it will admit at least fifty per cent of pure light, there has been no definte step taken toward this end, and probably will not be for some time to come, as the Optical Trust, which ab solutely controls the ordinary glass heretofore used for this purpose, would certainly "raise Cain" over such a proposed amendment. This new Lens is demonstrated and sold in To peka by the following well -known op ticians: W. J. Lewis', Geo. R. Rankin, Jas. B. Hayden, F. W. Swearingen, R. H. Morehouse and M. L, Addis. WITH GOLDEN SPIKE. Milwaukee's Coast Extension Com pleted April 2. Chicago, March 12. Arrangements for driving the golden spike which will signify the completion of con struction work on the Pacific coast ex tension of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway have been made, with the Intention of having the ceremony take place at Gold Creek, Washing ton, April 2nd. A. J. Earllng, presi dent of the road, is in the west clos ing the details. This will mark the beginning of a new era for the St. Paul, which thenceforth will take its place among the trans-cont'nental railroads, after expending mt-re than $100,000,000 in two years on approximately fifteen hundred miles of new line from Evarts, S. D., to Tacoma and Seattle. The line west of the Missouri river is to be operated under the name of the Chicago Milwaukee Puget Sound railway, with a separate set of officers many of whom however, are also of ficials of the parent company. Considerable ballasting remains to be done, and the road bed must settle thoroughly before regular train ser vice can be established with safety, which will be about July l. CHINA TO TAKlfCENSUS. Even Chinese Living In Foriegn Lands Will Be Counted. Washington, March 12. China is about to take a census of the un counted millions within her borders. The state department has just re ceived a copy of an imperial edict is sued in accordance with the pro gramme for constitutional reform, di recting an enumeration of individuals and families within the empire. The returns for the census for fami lies must be completed by 1910 and for individuals by 1912. All Chinese living in foreign lands must be enumerated. Flatulency or Wind On Stomach As It Is Commonly Named, Means That Decaying Food Is Making Gas. This most serious condition is very prevalent and results most distress ingly and fatally oftentimes. The stom ach in cases of flatulency is unable to digest the food properly. Decay sets in, gases form, extend the stomach, force their way downward into the bowels, and if not relieved it extends upward pressing against the lungs, liver and heart, causing shortness of breath, belching, foul odors and many times sudden death. Foods which are filled with gases, when taken Into a deranged stomach cause flatulency rapidly, vegetables be ing especially given to this quality. Against such a condition the stomach can do but little, because these foul and poisonous gases affect its glands, muscles and tissues to such a degree as to incapaciate it almost at once. These gases distend the stomach In all directions, preventing the contract ing muscles from doing their regular duties, or if they do force the gas from the stomach It goes elsewhere in the system with even more harassing results, and then the decaying mass still remains to generate more gases. The most effective methods for allay ing flatulency Is to remove the cause of gas making. An emetic will do this but the stomach will have the same trouble the moment new food enters it. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets get at gas food at once, digest it, prevent decay, quickly reduce food to nourishment, make good rich gastric fluid and pass the digested food to the intestines, giv ing the stomach its rest and the sys tem its nourishment. Flatulency sim ply cannot exist where these little tablets are used. They build up the stomach fluids so that it matters not how many vegetables you eat or food containing quantities of gas, the stom ach does its work well and quickly. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold everywhere and used the whole world over by sick stomachs ,and stomachs that want to eat heartily and yet not get sick. Every druggist carries Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, price 50 cents per box. The demand for these little digesters is constantly increasing.

THE MILLS DR Y GOODS COMPANY mmrnm APPOINT WHITE MEN. President Taft WiU Adopt Xew Policy of Southern Patronage. Chicago, March 12. "The passing of the professional southern negro politician as a federal office holder by right of coolr has been made an essential feature in the proposed poli cies of President Taft," says the Tri une today, in a news article. "Here after southern white Republicaois will receive the utmost consideration in filling the 'big places In the federal service below the Mason and Dixon line. The places which have been al lotted to the negro Republicans as a matter of custom will go to northern negroes rather than to the southern black men. "News of this complete change in administration policy has arrived in Chicago directly from the White House. The information was disclos ed in connection with the candidacy of Col. John R. Marshall, command ing the Kighth infantry, Illinois Na tional Guard, the negro regiment, for the post of receiver of deeds of. the district of Columbia. "Col. Marshall's, candidacy has the tentative backing of Senator Cullom, and he is seeking the support of the Republican organization leaders in Chicago as a necessary step to taking up the matter officially with President Taft.

The so-called "discovery" by Mayor Green has developed Into nothing but a bothersome technicality after all and the poor, downtrodden Democrats are stuck in the mud as bad as ever.. What the mayor interpreted for a relief from the city committee has ended in a reg' ular sick, dead or disability rule and it means that the city committee can appoint a man to fill the vacancy only after the primary election has been held the vacancy occurring at this time. In truth the vacancy on the part of the Democrats occurred before the primary, and at the primary-- but after the primary there were not enough places to be made vacant. .This' brings out the five per cent. proposition again and 'this is clearly an injustice to the Democrats of the city.

Chief Eaton, of the Topeka police force, was considerate in deferring the raid on the gambling rooms at the hotel which was the headquarters for legis lators until after the legislature had adjourned. The Cooper murder trial has not been especially interesting as viewed from .this distance, but it must be admitted that it brought to the front several bril liant orators who otherwise might have remained unknown. The Standard Oil company has won its suit which became famous because of the $29,000,000 fine imposed by Judge lAndis. It is probable that John D. had never lost a great deal of sleep ever paying that fine. OOFTTN SAILS. The first attempt to enforce the new state anti-cigarette law is reported in a news dispatch from Iola, where eight unterrified youths, under 21 years of age, were caught red-handed indulg ing their fondness for "coffin nails" on the city streets. No penalty was imposed upon the lads for the reason that the prosecution was brought by the city instead of the state authori ties. This failure to apply the law ef fectively should serve as a reminder to the councils of the various munici palities -over the state to enact ordin ances in line with the state law, if it la desired to break up the injurious habit' of cigarette and. tobacco smok ing among their boys. Notwithstanding the personal views on the subject that may be held by individual citizens, the prohibition on cigarette and tobacco smoking among miners Is now a state law and as such it should be enforced. It Is true that the state authorities in the several counties have power to prosecute un der the new law, but in order to facili tate its enforcement the cities should provide ordinances permitting their officers to cooperate in stamping out what many reliable medical authori ties hold to be a pernicious and Injur- JOURNAL ENTRIES The balance of power is frequently held by a weakling.

Alonsr with the passinsr of the pro hibitory law comes the news from Dodge City that a farmer near there sank a well 42 feet deep and struck water that flows 100 gallons per hour. Fashion note from Bent Murdock: Fashionable corsets are built on such elaborate plans, -are so handsome and so "costly that a Wichita Woman's club has resolved to hereafter wear them on the outside."

Hudson whether he should call him "Major," or "General." Hudson was a major in the civil war and was made a brigadier general in the Span- sh war, but in the latter conflict he did not get into active service. "Call me Major," said Hudson to MacDon ald in reply to the question, "I was accinated for "general but it didn t take." This is told by George R. Peck: 'Occasionally I have a dispute about Kansas with some well meaning but benighted individual. In a conversa tion I once had with a noted judge in Chicago, he made some remarks hich J felt bound to resent, ana said to him indignantly, 'Kansas has everything that other states have ex cept fools.'

Many of those who did get Kingdom, and that a boom which has into the limelight probably wish they 1 never before been equaled in England hadn't. Here's, another bit of evidence of the wonderful acumen or lack of it on the part of the members of the legislature. Of the twelve resolutions introduced seeking to amend the constitution. among them some most important .and desirable ones, including the one to provide, for a classification of the prop- J erty in the state for the purposes of taxation there was only one which ap is spreading to all of the large towns and cities. The Consul continues: i According to one of the -larllnr London dallies skating is today the most popular form of Indoor amuse ment and excerctee. Nothing else ap proaches it. An American company associated with a firm of roller skate manufac turers in the United States has opened large rinks in seventeen cities of Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales. These rinks accommodate on an av erage about 5,000 skaters each. It Is From the Atchison Globe. People too easily get into the habit of having troubles. Never take any one's word when you can get a contract. A philosopher says it is good for every man to have an active enemy. Everr man intends to become great some day, but he keeps putting it off. A woman is like an oil painting: A work of art which should not be ap proached too closely, Nothing will so surely make a fool of a man as taking part in an amateur show. Or a woman, either. When a woman says her husband will not give her any satisfaction when she accuses him, she means he will not confess. This promises to be a dull evening. Think this over: Did you ever know a really sensible man? And are you not something of a fool yourself. We have noticed that when a trav eling man entertains a customer at the restaurant for dinner, the cus tomer does not stint himself in order ing. It Isn't necessary to understand pbetry; the man who quotes it is never asked to make a further nui sance of himself by explaining what he is driving at. It makes no difference how .much a 'man may like his friends, he likes them a little less if they make sugges tions to him of ways for parting with his money. When a man believes that his wife is trying to save herself, allowing him to go to the devil, he invents a new kind of religion, or says that the re ligions patronized by his. wife does not amount to anything. Every generation learns some new way of parting with Pa's money; the man of seventy-five years ago may have had little money, but his chil dren never expected any to spend, so that he was better off than the father of today. The papers are lately paying a good deal of attention to the foolish wom en who buy bust developers, beauty aids, etc. Don't stop with the women; nearly every short man sends away money occasionally for a powder that will make him taller. And there never was a bald man, probably, who did not pay out hard earned money for a ridiculous medicine to make his hair grow. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. tFrom the Chicago Record. Girls who bleach their hair only Want a fair show. No female lawyer objects to being the woman in the case. Even an actress may not be able to make up for lost time. For each disease there are any number of cures that don't help any. Wise is the woman who lets her husband believe that he is the boss. The straphanger, looks far better to the street car company than an empty seat. A woman's dream of a bonnet looks like a nightmare to the man who pays the freight. It's a good thing that some people are self satisfied, for they never could satisfy any one -else. It's easier for the average rhan to quit drinking If he wants to than it is for him to want to. After a woman has succeeded in breaking into societ- she thinks it's up to her to go away twice a year for her health. k BUILDING ON SOLID GROUND. Now the opportunity Is being pre sented to start mdre nearly from the ground, and it must accordingly be said that the situation is today more favorable for solid and large improve ment In business affairs than it was a week ago. The. stock market had reached an artificially high position which Was beinar maintainil in tha. Dasic steel and various other Indus tries.. If this was not actually known to be the case as the stock market appeared week after week to be "peg ged" to the high post-election level, it was felt by most observers to be the case, and the event proves the ac curacy of- this intuitive judgment.

No mat ter what may be done with the tariff, the very worst Is being largely dis counted in the present slump. The opportunity is how being offered to start from the bottom instead of from near the top. Natural in place of ar tificial conditions are more prevalent. The country is not going to the dogs but is being more squarely headed in the right direction than it Was before. The continued extraordinary gold pro duction prevents, the possibility of so extensive and persistent a fall in com modity prices as followed the panic of 1S93.

Springfield Republican. DANGER IN ENDOWMENTS? During his recent visit to this coun try, Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian his torian, expressed amazement that American millionaires were permitted to so largely endow our institutions of higher learning. He was astounded that the "plutocrat" was allowed to found and support universities and make of them vast establishments wherein the youth of the nation ac quire its- idsals. The Italian referred to the fact that Mr, Rockefeller, who has given $35,000,- 000 to the University of Chicago, does not interfere In any wise in the man agement, does not dictate the profes sors who shall lecture nor the cur riculum that shall be followed; but he quails to think to what base uses some successor to Mr. Rockefeller's millions might put the power thus gained. Dan ger lurked, he thought, in the ideals that might then be set before the youth of America. -That -there -is a -germ ef truth in his warning cannot be gainsaid. It is pos sible for a millionaire to exercise vast Influence-over the institution he equips. American common sense, however, will operate as a restraining Influence. Our educational ideals are high enough, in general, to withstand any evil influ ence, that may come through large do nations. Likewise the danger of a pos sible attempt on-the part of the don ors to exercise such influence is not apparent. Pittsburg Post. A MODIFIED TWO-POWER STAND ARD. It is reported that, for computing the size Of the fleet in accordance with the two-power standard, the British cabinet will no longer reckon with the navy of the United States. The growth of the American navy, together with the ae velopment of cordial relations between the two English-speaking nations, rais ed this question some while ago. Senti ment and the state of British finances have combined to favor the elimination of the fleet of the United States' from the calculation. Although it was pro tested that the theory of the two-power standard does not contemplate as an essential feature the probability of war with any power, the fact is mat tne standard has usually represented a match for a possible combination of two certain sea powers against Great Britain. Russia and France, for example, were the two powers which Great Britain contemplated in its naval estimates up to a recent period. Todar" the theory inevitably considers Germany's attitude as well as the size of her fleet, though no second power is plainly to be indi cated except in respect of naval strength, Considering the. recent realignment of European ententes, it may strike thrifty British statesmen that, if the historic theory of "any two other powers" is to be abandoned in 1 favor of two possible enemies, expense will be saved by build ing against Germany alone.

Josephine, empress of the French. was Teyette to her intimate friends, but her name in reality was Marie Josephe Rose. Napoleon after the marriage exacted that she should be oe known as Josephine. He had a mania for rebaptizing the women of his entourage. He made his sister Marianne an Elise,' of Annonciade a Caroline, of Paulette a Pauline. Among her numerous friends, Jose phine remained Yeyette. Barras nev er called her otherwise. The Pope was so unfamiliar with her name that when he sent his ben ediction the letter borne by his legate was addressed to "Our Sister in Jesus Christ, Victoria Bonaparte." In 1814, on the departure for Elba, the Debats designated Josephine un der the paraphrase "the mother of Prince Eugene." At Ruell her tomb bears this sim ple inscription: "A Josephine, Eu gene et Hortense, 1825." The restor ation did not permit her recognition as empress. The grandson of Teyette, Napoleon III, gave to the church at Ruell num erous marks of his benevolence. In the choir may yet be seen a carved mahogany chair, the back of which is ornamented with two medallions, one superimposed upon the other, sur rounded by Napoleonic eagles. On one of the medals are shown in relief the interlaced initials "L. N." (Louis Na poleon). On the other one may read the figures "7,500,000." This is the number of votes that the "Prince President" received at the plebiscite of December 20, 1851. The good cure of Ruell does not fail in the duty he owes to "Marianne" (France) in making use of this com fortable chair, the last souvenir of the tyrant. Le Cri de Paris. Monkey Commits Suicide. The British steamer M. S. Dollar, arriving here from the Orient, has this entry on its log: Bok, our pet THE EVENING STORY Poor Old Uncle Ben. (By Milo Holcroft.) "Hello, Uncle Ben," Joe called, as his buggy flashed by the loaded wag on. Uncle Ben replied to the saluta tion with a surly nod. He twisted about on his load and gazed at the receding vehicle. It was she herself, and out riding with that young scamp! She was enjoying the fellow's com pany, too, so much that she had only a slight bow for him. She had never ridden with him, ex cept once at a funeral, when she went to the cemetery in his buggy, because there was not room for her elsewhere. He had imagined manv times since the things he would have said to her during that ride if he had known be forehand so as to be prepared; but he ad not, and the ride had been a silent one. She was britrht and talkative with Joe, though! When he recognized, with a shock of surprise .who Joe's companion was, they were chattering like bluejays. He felt wronged, somehow; though he had no claim to be. But he had always meant to marry her, if she would consent, when he found courage to put the question. He knew Joe was in the habit of going to her brother's where she lived, but until that minute he had not look ed upon the fellow as his rival. Joe was young and good-looking: and wo men thought so much of those things! Uncle Ben wasn't an old uncle at all. But he had come to think him self very venerable and acred indeed. When a person becomes an uncle be fore his manhood and when fate so shapes it that one must become not only uncle, but father and mother, to one's nephews, the responsibility con- auces to a reeling of old age, even when the said nephews are not much younger than one's self. So Uncle Ben very naturally sup posed there was no chance for him at all with the woman whom he loved so truly. He even decided that he would sell his farm and go away. He brood ed over it all day and with heavy pain, forgetting to make his usual sharp bargain in business. As he drove into the erate at home toward evening, Joe's buggy again ap peared, and he drew up for a chat. He was in fine spirits, and boyishly hand some, beside Uncle Ben's rough, farm ciotnes ana soiled boots. "Guess I'll take that cow. Uncle Ben," he said, with a conscious smile. "I expect to need her." Uncle Ben crrunted and busied hlm- seld with the gate. "You see, I'm oh, I might as well say It right out I'm going to be mar ried pretty soon." "Settled is it?" His face glanced up snarpiy, nis face rather pale. "Well, not auite." Joe hesitated "but she understands me well enough and It's going to settled tonight and the day fixed. I'm Invited there to supper, and I'm sure she knows what to expect. In fact, it nearly came out this morning." Uncle Ben said nothing, and after a AMUSEMENTS. At the Grand. i Tn'8jt-Max Fig-man.

Two days before the Dollar reached this port the engine room was given a new coat of paint, and Bok was put in one of the engineers' rooms to keep him out of mischief, but he escaped in some manner and, as was his custom, climbed down into the engine room and sought out -a warm berth near -a. boiler. The engineers found him by the trail he left in the wet paint. The culprit was brought up and giv en a sharp reprimand in the shape of several slaps on the back.

Despite Uncle Ben's resignation, he felt his gay and handsome nephew's carelessly confident words as if they were so many sharp, savage thrusts from a dagger. There came a hot, suffocating sense of shame and rage into his heart that he should be thrust aside, unseen, unheard.. As he stumbled along by his team to the barnyard he was seized with a great impulse to see her and speak yet although it was useless. He looked about vaguely at first, then with keen calculation. Joe was still in sight. He had stopped to talk with someone, as was his social cus tom. He would not hurry, not dream ing of need for it. His team was tired and the other horses In the pasture. If he would forestall Joe he would have to go afoot across lots. And there was no time to shave and garb himself as he would have liked before going into her pres ence. He hitched nis horses and started Joe was still talking when he cleared his own farm and the next. It was two miles, but he could cut off a con siderable distance by going across lots, and most of the way he could keep an eye on Joe's progress. Over the hill a grove intervened. As he dashed into it he caught a glimpse of Joe skimming along in the distance, seeming to fly. Then Uncle Ben flew too, or nearer to it than he had ever imagined it possible for him to go. Through the grove." and Donner's pasture scudded "old Uncle Ben." By that time Joe had nearly reached the half-mile corner. Old man Donner yelled to know the meaning of the wild flight. Uncle Ben waved an impatient hand and sped on, crossing the road, where he had a view of Joe's rig whirling around the corner. From the ridge, a quarter of a mile nearer his goal, he saw with satisfac tion that Joe had stopped, the center of gossiping neighbors who always gatnered at uonner t All their questioning and scandal izing will hinder him and help me." he soliloquized breathlessly, dashing on witn renewed vigor. The excitement of the race' obliter ated all other thought. "I'd lose my iarm sooner man oe peat," ne de clared. feeling a new. keen thrill in life as his supple limbs took him over the rough ground. Just to get there and say what he had to say before Joe arrived was sll his thought now. As to how it should be said, he was past thinking of that. wnen ne leaped tne last fence Joe had disappeared behind the hedge that fringed tne home stretch. Old Uncle Ben put on a last spurt. From the sheep pasture Mlllv's father hailed him. Uncle Ben did not even wave in reply. The hired man stared as he rushed past the barn where they were choring. He had no time to go around to the front. There was no time for knock ing at doors or for formalities of any sort. Away down the road he could see Joes hat advancing rapidly! He leaped tne steps to tne back porch and hurled himself into the kitchen. The fates favored him. She was at the table mixing biscuits. "Milly will you marry me he panted, staggering against the wall, "Quick! Answer me! I've always- meant to nave you: i love you more'n I've got time to tell you now quick will you marry me?"

THE PITCHING STAFF. Boosters Hare Several Candi dates for Twirling Jobs. Biersdorfer, Bomar and Nelson Are Sure of Berths. Des Moines, la., March li-Wnne the dyed-in-the-wool fans are keeping an ear open to hear the reports ot the training camps of the major league teams, all of them are becoming con scious that the reporting season of the Western league teams Is near at hand. Day after day the contracts of the play ers are coming to the managers, and it is only three weeks now until the crack of the bat against the ball will be heard in the league baseball park in Des Yesterday's mail brought a contract from another one of the Des Moines players who had bee" "f out!

Kansas City. March 12. Willie Hoppe established a new world's record for a high run of 18.2 billiards here' last night when he ran 829 points. The previous record was 307, held by Hoppe. TWO CONTRACTS RECEIVED. Burnum and Wooley Ready to Play for Cooley. Topeka has two more men assured for the 1909 Western league team. Burnum and Wooley have sent in their contracts with the John Han cock's duly subscribed. Burnum has been trying to hold out, but when he Heard there were four other south paws on the team he sent in his con- WOULDN'T GO BACK To Old Days of Coffee Troubles. Studious, sedentary habits are apt to cause indigestion, dyspepsia, ner vous headaches, etc., but often it's the dally use of coffee that is at the bot tom of the whole trouble, and it is surprising how quickly these troubles disappear when coffee is dropped and well-made Postum is the daily bever age. A No. Dak. minister writes of the relief obtained when he changed from coffee to Postum. He says: 'I began using Postum about a year nso while stopping at the home of friends during the absence of my wife. "It seemed also providential, for do ing that time I got rid of coffee, and its attendant ills. I used to have bil ious attacks about every two weeks that. completely used me up for a day or two at a time. "I did not suspect coffee and was unable to account for these attacks. Since I began Postum I have had but one slight attack and the change to re stored health is most acceptable. "My wife declared on her return that nothing would induce her to give up coffee, but after a few careful preparations of Postum, according to directions on pkg., she thought it was superior to cortee in iiavour, and now we would not change back to coffee. "We feel we owe a debt of gratitude to Postum which has done so much for all of us children and older ones. Name given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

IF IT DISAPPEARS, IT'S ECZEMA How to Tell Whether a Skin Affec tion U an Inherited Blood Disease op Not. Sometimes it is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign of a blood disorder or simply a form of eczema. Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for one afflicted is to go to Fred A. Snow's or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 60 cents' worth of poslam. Apply this, and if the itching stops at once and the trouble is cured in a few days it may be set down as having been eczema, as this Is the way poslam acts In the- worst cases of eczema, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections.

Burnum is a sweet pitcher when he is right and if Cooley can keep him right he will easily make good in the Western league. Wooley will also shine in the field but will be shy on his batting. i WOULD MAKE GOOD TEAM. Big League Castoffs Could Put Up Great Battle. Enough players have passed out of the major leagues during the off sea son to form a team, and ono that would be able to make a fairly good showing. Most of the players were stars during their days and seven have taken part in world's series. Here's the team: Catchers Sid Smith, Schreck and Needham. Pitchers McGinnity, Taylor, Fla herty and Hogg. First base McGann. Second base McCourtney. Third base Collins. Shortstop Y eager. Outfielders Shannon, Seybold and Pickering. Utility infielders Hostetter and Coughlin. Utility outfielder Barry. WILL TOUR THE WORLD. After Comrskey Planning Big Trip the 1911 Season. Chicago, March 12. President C. A. Comiskey of the Chicago American club has announced that he will take his baseball team around the world after the season of 1911 is finished. The start will be made from San Francisco around October 15, 1911. The trip of the old Chicago White Stockings around the world in 1889 was an unqualified success. LOXGBOAT IS WILLING. Indian Champion Will Race With Marathon Stars. Toronto, Ont., March 12. Tom Flanagan today received a telegram saying that Longboat, the Indian, will run his race with the Marathon stars at the Polo grounds, New York, on April 3. Changes in Race Programme. Detroit, March 12. Two radical changes are made in the announce ment by the Detroit Driving club stake programme for the opening week of the grand circuit July 26 to 30. The Chamber of Commerce pace of $5,000 is for the 2:15 class instead of the 2:13 as it has been for two years. The Wolverine handicap, free for all pac ing $5,000 is added. The merchants and manufacturers stake of $10,000 remains for 2:24 trotters and there is a renewal of the $3,000, 2:11 trot. The Wolverine is two in three and other events three in five heats. Entries to the stakes closes April 6. Heuston-Weston Match. Chicago. March 12. All arrangements have been made and the dates set for the match between Tom Heuston and Chas. (Cowboy) Weston for the pool championship of the world. The match will be played here beginning the night ot aaarcn si. ana lasting until April 3. A total of 800 points will be played, 200 eacn nignt. Fierce Ten Round Fight. New York, March 12. In a fierce ten round bout here last night Frankie Madden of New York had the better of Kid Sullivan of Washington al though the two lightweights finished almost equally strong. SPORTEVG GOSSIP. In Z. Z. ("Rip") Hagerman, the young twirler under reserve for the coming season. Manager Chance of the Cubs has secured an athlete touted as one of the tallest in the National league. The rangy circuit, who rolled up an enviable record pitching for To peka last season, towers to a height of 6 feet 3 inches and is built along the lines of a modern Goliath, according to the stories circulated by critics who have seen him in action. Hagerman has patched up his differences with President. Murphy and will make a bid for a permanent job with the world's champions. Chicago Tribune. Believing that the public likes to see batting, W. H. Fox, in the Baseball magazine of the current month, sug gests that the foul line of the baseball diamond be flung at an angle of eight feet beyond both first and third base. In other words, extend the area be yond the lines, starting from the home plate and running toward the field on a slant. The argument is advanced that it will give the batter a greater advantage than he now has, making possible an increase in his average of 25 per cent. For several years the dis position of the rules committee has been to make regulations that favor the pitcher. Mr. Fox believes the pub lic should be considered in its partial ity to a good batting game. With the foul lines extended so that a ball sent outside the base lines eight feet beyond second base, the public would see more of the kind of a game it likes. He be lieves both the first and third basemen could easily field their positions, and while increasing the work of the pitch er, it would be accepted with general favor. Dale Gear who used to manage up at Kansas City is now running the Shreveport club in the Texas league. Rumor has it that Jimmy Burke may be bought by Indianapolis. Those Hoosiers must want another pennant, Arlo Scoggins will play with the Oklahoma City team next season after one year of retirement. Scoggins used to be a pretty swell outfielder. Denver Times: President Burke is not worrying much about the prayer3 who have formed the "hold up" club, and feels positive they will be here a3 per schedule.

Railroads Cannot Make Rates for Benefit of Chicago. Washington. March 12. Merchants of Milwaukee are given the benefit of as favorable through rates on grain as those of Chicago, in a decision handed down by the interstate commerce com mission. The case was that of the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce against the C. R. L P. road ajid others. The decision affects every rail road in the United States. The commis sion says: "In claiming that it may lawfully so adjust its rate schedules as to force the grain to Chicago, the defendant over looks the right of the shipper to choose his own market. !It also overlooks the chief function ot a common carrier which Is to carry the traffic that is tendered to it. "A carrier has no right to insist that a shipment shall go to the end of its rails, if the shipper desires it to, be di verted at an intermediate point to an other market off its rails. "Nor may a carrier accomplish these results indirectly by any unreasonable adjustment of Its rate schedule. It can not lawfully, compel the shipping public to contribute to its revenues on any such grounds." THRESHERMEX QUIT. Interstate Association Elects Officers at Wichita. Wichita, Kan., March 12.

Are Shown TTp From Standpoint of the Cooper Defense. Nashville, Tenn., March 12. The at tendance at the Cooper-Sharp murder trial shows a decrease and when Gen eral Washington resumed his argument for the defense there were many vacant Beats. These filled, however, as the day advanced, but there was not nearly the demand for admission as previous. Mrs. Lucius Burch, Robin Cooper's sister, who collapsed yesterday was in court today.- pale and wan, but bravely attempting to cheer and encourage her brother. Mrs. Carmack did not appear and it was stated that she was too ill to leave her room. General Washington came to the edi torials of October 21. He admitted that Carmack had a right to write an edi torial about public men. "But when he stepped over the bounds and began an attack upon a private citizen, then he exceeded his rights. Now the state would have you believe that these edi torials were harmless." Working him self into a frenzy of oratory, Washing ton devoted nearly an hour to a wild denunciation of the Carmack editorial of October 21. This editorial calls attention to a statement In the American from Rip ley, which said that Patterson men were "advocating trading Bryan for Patterson votes. Then the editorial called "the attention of Honorable Ban Murray, the Honorable Dune Cooper, the Honorable Max Hartman, and the Honorable Sol Cohen" to this report. Washington vigorously explained that two of the honorables named were disreputables and that when Car mack associated Col. Cooper's name with theirs he committed the gravest offense a man could commit, and af fronted and insulted Cooper beyond endurance. "But the state says no editorial ever written justifies killing a man. We agree that this is true. But we are only trying to show how they aroused Col. Cooper's anger and to explain his mental condition. "The state says this is only a ridicul ing editorial. Well what of it? You can drive a man insane with ridicule. Tou can send a man's son into frenzy by ridicule and ridicule is libelous and punishable with imprisonment." Washington's Bad Break. Washington continued: "This man was wild with anger over the Insults. But that man is no mur derer, you know it. Murder does not run in that breed, that aristocratic old blue blood family. "They say he had malice In his heart. If you went home and found your wife and daughter dead and the murderer at large in the neighborhood and you seiz ed your gun and went out to kill that murderer, would you have malice in your heart? "Gentlemen, I tell you, you will not put the noose around the neck of any man for doing- what you would have done under similar circumstances." General Washington asked the jurors if they had ever seen a bull fight. None Intimated that he had. so the speaker described one. He compared Colonel Cooper with the bull and declared that Carmack's editorials were the bander- uios which maddened the bull into a charge. "Well, Carmack wrote 'the diplomat of the Sweibund' and he thus declared open war. He did It to declare open war and to compel Colonel Cooper eith er to let him alone or to approach him on the street. He knew that with those crumpled fingers Colonel Cooper could not pull a trigger. He knew he was safe. "Colonel Cooper saw that Carmack was in an ugly mood. So he armed himself and he had not done so, he would be in his grave today." Washington saw his error here the defense's contention being that Colonel Cooper never even drew his gun until the shooting was over, so he said: "If Robin Cooper had not armed him self, they would be both dead today."

Tbs Kind You Have Always Bougl: Bears, the Signature of WON'T CHEAPEN LUMBER Gifford Pinchot Says Removal of Duty Would Not Do Good. Washington, March 12. A removal of the tariff on lumber would neither reduce the price to the consumer, nor preserve our forests according to the opinion expressed by Gifford Pinchot, chief of the United States forest ser vice in a letter to Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the house ways and means committee. Mr. Pinchot holds that the fundamental questions at is sue in the lumber tariff is forest con servation. He says that he would fa vor a removal of the tariff if he were of the opinion that it would offer a way to protect our forests. "But I am unable to see," he said, "how free lumber will promote forestry. "There is only one way to save our forests," he added. "That is to see that they are kept at work growing new crops of timber as the old are cut away. Mr. Pinchot says that "most of the lumber .we now import comes from Canada, as most of it would if the duty were taken off. We are now import ing from Canada only about 2 per cent as much lumber as we are cut ting from our own forests. It ia not likely that under free lumber more than five per cent as much would come from Canada as" we would cut at home. "Canada's total amount of standing timber Is probably not more than one third of what is left of ours. Imports from Canada, would not be enough to limit the cutting of our forests or re duce the price of .lumber in any Im portant degree." Mr. nncnot is or tne opinion mat ir i the duty were removed there would be little if any benefit to the ultimate con sumer in the United States. The waste in logging, according to Mr. Pinchot, ia several times larger than our im portation from Canada. "I do not be lieve," he said, "that the increased use of Canadian wood under free lum ber would equal the increased waste." The chief forester thinks it "highly important that we should have free pulp wood In the future as In the past and that Canada should impose no ex port duty upon pulp wood." In this respect, he continues, "the pulp and paper making industry is in a different position from the other great wood using industries of the United States. The latter can be sup plied wholly from our own forests, while the former must have free ac cess to the Canadian spruce forests so long as spruce is the chief pulp wood." Mr. Pinchot places the first duty for conserving the forests upon the lum bermen themselves declaring that "by asking for the retention of the tariff in order to protect the forests the lumbermen have in substance entered into an agreement with the people of the United States to perpetuate their forests by wise use." Janer Given Maximum Penalty. Towson,' Maryland. March 12. Joseph M. Janer of Brooklyn has been convicted of felonious assault upon Catherine Loerch, 12 years old, also of Brooklyn, and sen tenced to 21 years in the prison, this be ing the maximum possible penalty under the count of the indictment on which con viction was had.

PHYSICIAN OF NATIONAL REPUTATION STATES THAT IN RARE CASES BALDNESS IS NOT A DISEASE. Everybody, Reads the State Journal It is a well-known fact that more charlatanism is rampant today on the subject of the scalp and hair than ex ists concerning any other subject, ex cepting, perhaps, consumption. Dr. Nott says: "Among the thousands of cases that have passed under my in spection, I have seen but very few au thenticated instances where baldness has been successfully treated; of course, if there was among the patent medicines anything that would accom plish the result we would know of it and would at least try it. So far as restoring hair to color or promoting the length of the hair, that's another matter. The Q-Ban Hair Restorer, for instance, will restore gray hair to its natural color. I have used the Q Ban Hair Tonic as well, very often and effectually to encourage the growth of a luxuriant crop of hair to remove dandruff, etc., but I have as yet to rec ord a single case of baldness that has been effectually treated, without hav ing to resort to a general hygienic treatment in connection with standard products, like, for instance, Q-Ban Hair Restorer and the Hair Tonic. I have found them to be very effectual assistants. Dr. Nqtt admits and insists that to produce a luxuriant growth of hair, to restore gray hairs, cure dand ruff and diseased scalps is quite pos sible by simply observing the laws of health and using Q-Ban Hair Restor er and Tonic, but for baldness there is, as a rule, no cure; although some re markable exceptions may be noted. Q-Ban Restorer and Tonic can be had now at all druggists, put .up ready for use with full directions given as to the application.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING MARCH 12, 1909. HE L0STJJ ALL. Leavenworth Contractor For feits Topeka Contracts. J. H. Stanton Was Lowest Bid. der for Paving. LOOKED ON THE WINE. Was Not Able to File Necessary Check. Proposition for New Parkhurst DaTis Building. Drunk, disorderly and fined ten dol lars failed tq send right kind of a check ousted from the list of bid ders disgraced in front of the city council this is the lively record that one paving contractor has made since his short stay in Topeka. J. H. Stan ton of Leavenworth, who made the lowest bid on Topeka paving, leaves the city today followed by a storm of criticism and without a contract of any kind although he was the lowest bidder. The committee on public utilities after working all day decided last night that Stanton should not have the paving contract and the city council agreed. The successor of the Stanton com pany or rather the next lowest bid der on the contracts Is R. G. Gilfil lan of Fort Scott. He was awarded the contract for a. majority of the paving last night and before he could settle back In his chair and pat him self on the back, General J. W. F. Hughes rose and turning to the spec tators in the galleries where the Fort Scott contractor was seated he de livered one of the biggest jolts in the history of the council chamber and it was a hard one because there have been many happenings in that his toric old council chamber In the last few months. General Hughes said in part: "I, as one, want to go on record as being radically against allowing this man Gilflllan to secure any paving contracts in this city. I have had many family dealings with him which have given me a good insight into his character. I have seen some of the stuff he has furnished and it was rot ten to the core. We as a city can not bind this Gilflllan too close because he is slippery and will give the city the burnt end if possible. Why didn't he submit a good sample of his brick because he did not have it and be cause he is not going to have it. I am in favor of cutting him out of the bid ding list." The words spoken by te general caused quite a sensation in the coun cil and Alderman Jordan explained to Mr. Hughes that the city was ac customed to such actions and it was customary for every piece of pave ment to be thoroughly inspected be fore it was' accepted by the city. Mayor Greeii explained to the general that there need be no fear as a con tractor can not furnish material that the city does not want. Thus the matter dropped while the friends of the contractor In the gallery were holding him fast Jto bjs seat to prevent any violence. Tlie Successful Bidders. But after a fight lasting three hours in which time the three grades, of pavement was explained at least twenty times, the city finally allowed the contracts to the following con tractors: R. G. Gilflllan First and second grade paving. John Ritchie Resurfacing. Folk Luttljohn Curb and gutter. R. G. Gilflllan Rolling and grading. This contract includes the thirty five blocks of paving as published in the State Journal last night and is but half of the pavement for the com ing year. The victory for the men who have been fighting for rood paving in To peka was comp'- Councilmen Jor dan and Tandy ve been working night and day with the city engineer trying to push through the council the new modern methods of paving. Mr. Jordan said last night that the old small brick and fand filler pavement was the kind used by nothing but country towns these days. He told of the back step that would be taken by this city if she adopted the old line of pavement that used to be laid ten and fifteen years ago. Mr. Tandy also made several little to the point remarks about the old style pavement compared with the new and the effect of the words of these two gentlemen together with the approval of the city engineer and the mayor was responsible for the fine class of pavement that the city win nave this year. Beginning in' 1909 To peka can. put it down in history that An Indigestion Remedy Free Many people who are otherwisa healthy suffer from Indigestion, or dys pepsia. When you consider that the stomach and allied digestive orgars are the most important organs of tho body, it would seem that a disorder there is to be taken very seriously. Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they like: food sours In the stomach; then chronic constipation begins, or, as is often the case, you have been constipated all along, and the stools are forced and Irregular. But there 1 no use letting Indigestion go until It becomes chronic and under mines your health. It is good advice to suggest to you that you go to your drug srist and get a. bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Byrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for stomach, liver and bowel troubles. That Is what C. Fowler, of Carson City. Mich., did and he la well today. Others who did the same and are cured are Ida A. For tune, of Grand Junction, Tenn., B. F. Thompson, of Shenandoah, la., who ac tually considers that It saved his life. Tou can obtain a to-cent or Jl bottle of the druggist, and. taken according to di rections, it will probably be all you need. Jt la a liquid, acts gently, never gripes, and besides the laxative effect, contains exceptional tonio properties -which tone the stomach, and that is what is es pecially needed in indigestion. All sufferers from indigestion who have never used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can obtain a free test bottle by writing the doctor. It will be sent direct to you home without any charge. In this wav thousands have proven to their own sat isfaction Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the very remedy they needed to cure In digestion. When once you use this gran.l remedy you will throw violent cathartics tablets, salts, etc, away. If there Is anything about your ailment that you don't understand, or if you want any medical advice, trite to the doctor, and he will answer you fully. There is no charge for this service. The address is Dr W B Caldwell. EOS Caldwell bids.. MooUcello. I1L she made her first real upward start I in paving matters. It is true that some of the new pavement laid this year is of a mighty good quality and is an ex act reproduction of some of the present -plans but when Topeka is able to travel over her grouted, combination filler brick block pavement he will point with pride to the men who have worked day and night for it against numerous odds and adverse criticism. j There was none of the so-called third grade sand filler small brick pavement contracts let last night. It was on the bill of fare but the people failed to peti tion for it as was their chance and aa a result this third class was thrown from the list. There were a number of petitions for sand filler but these did j not mean small bricks with poor grout, j They simply meant the second class which is the same as the first class with the exception of the filler. j It took a long time for some of the 1 councilmen to see this matter last -night but when it was explained fully they voted for it without a dissent. The remaining thirty blocks of pave- j ment will be taken up later. Mayor Green received a formal resig nation from C. P. Moeser last night who does not wish to remain with the board of water commissioners any long er. With the approval of the council Mr. Mayor appointed John Purcell to fill his place on the board. A petition from a number of residents i in the First ward asked that a benefit district be created for them in order that it might be possible to pay the cost of opening Norris street between To peka avenue and alley running north and south between Topeka avenue and Harrison street. The petition was sent to the streets and walks committee which is reigned over by the gentleman from the First ward, C. E. Jordan. J If the city of Topeka will construct a larger sewer and make proper ar rangements for the management of the surplus surface water, Joab Mulvane will erect a big fire proof building at the corner of First and Kansas avenue. In a communication to the city council last night -Mr. Mulvane told of how the Farkhurst-Davis people had suffered many losses on account of the immense amount of surface water that had gath ered in this district and ran into the cellar of the building. The sewef in this district is not much larger than a pipe that is used as an eavestrough on the Mulvane building and it i3 choked and out of order most of the time. Mr. Mul vane told the council that unless this trouble was patched he would never build again on this corner but if it was done he would promise the city a big fire proof building to be built at once. The council was aroused at the promise and the matter was referred at once for hasty recommendation. It will probably come up for final consideration at the next meeting of the council and at that it will be apparent to Mr. Mulvane that he is at liberty to commence the erec tion of his fire proof building. According to 'a bunch of blue prints handed in to the city council last night Police Judge S. S. Urmy is to have a big new steel filing case one that will be an ornament to his throne and a jeans of safety to his records which are continually being scattered over the station and handled by the inquisitives. Cost $122.50. At last the mayors of Topeka will be able to receive the honor that is due them. Last night the city council voted to have framed for public use in the council chamber all of the former mayors of this city with the proper lettering under each one of them. The motion almost wentthrough the council until some "of tne councilmen nappenea to rememoer that Mayor Green was not included in the list. With a leap and a jump General jriugnes rose to nis teet ana maae tne proper amendment which would provide for the additional executive. Mayor Green with his usual modesty was inclined to turn a deaf ear to the motion but it pre vailed and he could do nothing. This big picture when it is finished will prob ably hang up in the council chamber just facing the main entrance. The Santa Fe sent a communication to the city last night concerning the foot bridge which has been built by the city along the side of their iron bridge over the Kaw. A contract with the city pro vides for the erection of this foot bridge and the Santa Fe suggested that Topeka uuuu a Euosianuai iron iootDriage one that will adhere to the general makeup of their structure and one that will be substantial as well as good looking. The railroad engineer figures out that this sort of a bridge can be built for $4,000.00 ana uenerai Manager Hurley submitted the proposition. The council will look into the matter through the proper committees. The councilmen are of the opinion, how ever, that the new idea is a. good one. A petition full of North Topeka tax payers and residents was received by the council last night which pertained to the distribution of the 2C0 new arc lights that me cny lnienas to insert as soon as tne new electric lieht nlant 1 in ninniTic nr. uer. ine petitioners are the first to make a requisition on this matter and they iiave oroKen tne ice ror a multitude to fol low. These people want a light at the corner or (Jrant and Central avenues. The Hand Holders" union is hereby noti- fied that the Christian church stands on this corner and it will soon be necessary for them to change headquarters. Two series of sewer plans and speci fications were approved last night and sent on their way. The one is the much fought over Kenwood sewer. This is the sewer that the Rock Island has been paying so much attention to and even suggested that it be placed on wheels in order that it mitrth h -movpd when convenient. However, this Is but a myth and the citv has been nhlA to tickle the chin of the Rock Island until everything has been smoothed over. The Kenwood sewer is awaited with great anxiety by the residents in this portion of the city and the action of the coun cil cannot be too fast for them. The city engineer has had a number of mammoth plans in view for the connec tion of this sewer with the main city sewers and making a huge cement tun nel that would accommodate every thing in the city. The other sewer rec ommended by the council last night was tne nine Dranch out near Washburn college in the new addition recently ad ded to the city through the efforts of a number-of the residents in this district. The Kenwood sewer involves about- S25- 000 of the city money and the southwest dram means an exDenditure of ahoiit $2,000. After listening for over an hour about squeegees" and shaking his head un knowingly each time he heard the word General J. W. F. Hughes, released his inquisitiveness last night and jumping to his feet he cried: I have stood it lone enough. Mr. Engineer now what in the devil is a squeegee? The councilmen and srectators dou bled up in their seats at this drop from the sublime to the ridiculous and it was several minutes before the mayor could call order. But to tell the truth and this is a profound secret there were very few gentlemen in the council last night who knew the meaning of the word "equeegee."

A Department Store of Home Furnishings 517-519 Kansas Avenue 518-520 Jackson Street If Councilman Miller has his wav the Topeka Railway company will have to get- out a new series of transfers and the plans of the whole transfer system will have to be changed. In a resolu tion presented to the council last niEht4 Dy jvir. Miner the council was to com pel the street railway to Issue trans fers from the Santa Fe line to the Oak land and cemetery lines and vice versa. As It is now, the residents living along either of these lines have to walk a number of blocks to catch either car or else pay ten cents. Mr. Miller conferred with the street railway officials but the declined to admit the good points of his plan. They say that if this system of transfers is instituted people will take one car, do their customary shop ping up town and then take another car back ail on the same transfer ana witn only a few blocks walk. It Is a diffi cult proposition to work out. The Mil ler resolution has been referred to tne Judiciary committee in connection with the mayor and the city attorney. The city engineer submitted the plans for the new fire station No. 6 to the council last night. This station will be an exact reproduction of No. 5 out near Washburn college and in the rush to complete the plans the engineer's force painted the No. 5 sign on the building but it is still on paper and can be The Right Coffee Rightly Made Never yet failed to satisfy that coffee is none other than Blend No. 3, per lb. 35c 3 lbs. $1.00 Blend No. 10, per lb. 40c Get it at CHAS, McCLINTOCK'S TEA COFFEE CHINA 815 Kansas Ave. changed very easily. There were a good many little tiffs in the council room last night but luckily most of them started out like a lion and ended as meek as a lamb. For in stance, A. A. Rodgers, the brick man, stepped to the rail from the spectators' "ront row and getting the atention of the council he commenced on a speech that promised to be the scorcher of the evening. He told in vivid terms of the suffering poor people who could not af ford the good pavement and then he threw a harpoon into the council, ask ing them if they really knew what they were doing. Then he started in on an explanation of the three classes of pavement but before he had waded through one class a line of grins ap peared over the council horizon. Mr. Rodgers saw them and stopped in the middle of his talk demanding the rea son for such little attention. Then he learned that his knowledge of the dif ferent classes of pavement was not thrown together properly and he ap pealed to the common sense of the council- At last seeing no way out he admitted that he had taken his infor mation from E. S. Quinton who had been prompting him during the speech. Mr. Quinton arose at this juncture and said he had tried to tell Mr. Rodgers something else and had not mentioned the three classes. This was so funny that the whole room burst into an up roar and appreciating the joke Mr. Rodgers allowed his face to break into smiles and he sat down. Needless to say the councilmen were- relieved. A resolution requiring" the Natural Gas company to install cut out valves just outside the curbing was intro duced by Councilman Miller last night. It was referred' to the judiciary com mittee. This is a good move toward the extermination of natural gas fires also the loss of human life. Council man Hughes gave a sigh of relief and thought audiably when this resolution was read last night. He said: "Thank God there is some one digging into the company besides me." A new kick was registered against the fire department last night. The Capital City Bottling works say that during the two years they furnished sulphuric acid to the department the chief had in his possession four carboys which belonged to the works. These carboys were borrowed by the fire de partment. In' late years the depart ment has been purchasing its acid from the Arnold Drug company and this company has been given the use of the carboys ever since the change. The bottling works people have asked for the return of the drums ever since the contract was shifted but they have re ceived no answer. They ask the city for the price of the carboys. The mat ter was referred to the fire department committee. The combination filler Invented by City Engineer Rogers will be used in most of the city pavements this year. This filler is a mixture of asphalt and pitch and is judged to be the best ma terial on the market conceded to be so by the representatives of the opposing companies who have visited the city laboratories. The city council expressed their unanimous approval of the filler last night and they have reason to feel a little patriotic pride in the new in vention. The city council adjourned to meet in special session at 7:30 on Thursday evening, March 18, and in regular ses sion at 8 o'clock. After the lecture at the First Methodist church tonight. Rev. A. T. Osborn will organize a class for the study of metaphsics. COND FROM NEW YORK WORLD, OCT. IS. '08. UCTOR FAINTS FROM TERRIBLE PAIN Nicholas Gluckman, formerly a con ductor of the Brooklyn Elevated, re siding at 160 Havermeyer street, Brooklyn, and who has Just recently recovered from a long illness, gives the following account of his experi ence with the Cooper remedies, which are now being demonstrated in this city by L. T. Cooper. Mr. Gluckman says: "For two years I was conductor on the Brooklyn Elevated, but suffered so severely from- stomach trouble that finally I was compelled to quit work. On several occasions I fainted as a re sult of the terrible pains in my stom ach. My head ached almost constant ly and the gas on my stomach after eating nearly drove me wild. "I took all. kinds of medicine in an effort to get relief, but it did me no more good than so much water. Doc tors diagnosed my trouble in all sorts of ways, and twice I submitted to a surgical operation. These operations did more harm than good, for they not only failed to give relief, but left me perceptibly weaker. -i'By this time my condition was pos itively wretched, and I was complpte ly discouraged. My attention had ben called to this man Cooprr, and I had both read and heard of his success in relieving stomach sufferers, eo in sheer desperation I went to his head quarters and procured a treatment of Cooper's New Discovery. "The promptness with which it cor rected my trouble was a revelation. Almost immediately I began to gain strength and feel better. In two months' time I was practically well. The gas' and headaches have long dis appeared, and I can eat anything without any bad effects whatever. "After passing through suth a pain ful experience. I am glad of an oppor tunity to publicly express my appre ciation, and let other sufferers know the manner in which I obtained re lief. Anyone afflicted with stomach trouble will make no mistake in giv ing Cooper's New Discovery a trial." Cooper's New Discovery is now on sale at leading druggists everywhere. A sample bottle sent free upori request by addressing The Cooper Medicine Co., Dayton, Ohio. There are a great many bargains a dvertised tonight.

March 12. rwo civil war veterans John W. Wal lace and D. W. Lazelle have lust com pleted in their home villages of Man- celone a card playing contest that has lasted tor 20 years. Two decades ago an agreement was made that the vil lage championship should be accord ed to that one of the two soldiers who could win ten consecutive games. Night after night, alternating be tween the homes of the two contest ants, and omitting Sundays, the con test nas gone on for a score of years. oeverai times Wallace had nine games to his credit onlv to lose the tenth to Lazelle.

THE ORPHAX BOYS ARRIVE. After a Long Wait the Bennetts Reach Topeka. aVv Rev. A. T. Osbron. whose, healing by psychotheraphy, and whose expose of i spiritualism has made him well known on both sides of the water, is to lec- ture on "Mind and Mystery" at the First M. E. church tonight at 8 o'clock. Alfred Edward Bennett and Edward Alfred Bennett have at last reached Topeka from England and will make their home with George Bennett, a brother who is employed in the blacksmith department of the Santa Fe shops. The boys are orphans and thirteen and fifteen years of age and on account of being minors were de tained .by the authorities at Ellis island. It took the combined efforts of Judge J. S. West, assistant United States attorney; Oscar Swayze, deputy county clerk, and all of the relatives of the boys to assure the Immigration authorities that the Bennett would be cared for when they reached To peka. They are bright boys and ex press themselves as delighted with the country which they have adopted for their future home. t .F Ttr Men and Women t Suffering with "Nerves" Read This The impairment of the nervous force in men and women is first manifested by extreme nervousness,- sleeplessness, dread, worry and anxiety without rea son, trembling of the hands and limbs, with the slightest exertion, heart palpi tation, constipation, kidney trouble, and a general inability to act rationally at all times as others with health in their bodies do. This, if neglected, leads to despondency, melancholyia and lost am bition, making the likelihood of a cure more and more difficult, while frequently locomotor ataxia, "blind staggers," par alysis and even insanity are. a direct re sult of neglecting to increase the life-giving nerve force. A simple home treatment has been pro vided which, if taken in time, will certain ly work wonders. The mixture can be prepared at home by obtaining the four ingredients separately, and the embarrass ment or timidity which most sentitive people abhor is thus avoided. The ingred ients are pure and used 4n various pre scriptions. In a half pint bottle get three ounces of syrup sarsarpilla compound.-and add to this one ounce compound fluid balm wort, and let stand two hours; then get one ounce compound essence cardiol, and one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardomom); mix -all together, shake well and take a. teaspoonful after each meal and one at retiring. This contains no opiates whatever and may also dp used by men and women who suffer with their nerves with absolute certainty, of prompt and lasting benefits. The climax of one of life's tragedies was reached late Thursday afternoon when Judge Dana of the district court granted a decree to Frank K. Ray mond, divorcing him from Catherine B. Raymond to whom he was married more than a quarter of a century ago. It is only now and then from the stories told by the petitions on file in the office of the- clerk of the court that such a story as the one told can i-e found. A story of devotion, ambition, happiness, wealth and then a climax which leaves the mother in the mad house, the murderess of her only son to whom she was devoted and the fath er and husband a homeless wanderer long after he has passed th-3. meridian of. his life. The couple .were married in 18S3 and with youth and ambition before -hem established a home in Winfleld where by combined frugality and thrift they prospered. They then moved to Topeka where Mr. Raymond, who was an expert bookkeeper and stenographer, added to the growing little fortune. An oppor tunity to better the condition presented itself and the happy father, mother and baby son moved to Washington, D. C, where the former received an appoint ment in the interior department. Then it was that a little cloud ap peared on the horizon of their happi ness and the wife longing for the asso ciation of her own family journeyed to California. Her stay was prolonged but finally she returned to her husband in the national capital but the home hap piness wa3 destroyed and she announc ed that she was going back to Cali fornia to live, and she did, taking her boy with her. She wrote that she would not return and the father's heart long ing for the son perhaps more than wife crossed the continent and pleaded with his wife to return to their home in Washington. She was not to be persuaded how ever and remained in California keep ing her son with her, who by this time had grown to be a fine boy with thoughts of his. own future. The fath er sent money each month for the sup port of the mother and son and longed to be with them and attempted to se cure a transfer of position to this part of the continent so. that he could be near his wife and son, Wife Would Not Return. The plan failed however and he re mained at his desk in Washington and toiled, each month sending a liberal portion of his earnings to Los Angeles where his wife had; decided to make a home for herself -and-, son. Then came the tragedy. Her health, which had not been the best for years, failed and she began- to complain and often threatened to take her own life as well as that of her son, while in despondent moods. Her letters to her husband and friends in Topeka told of the strain under which she labored and finally one afternoon she -attempted to carry out her mad threat so often made to end the life of herself and her son. She went to her room and as her son slept, turned wide open the gas jets and waited for the death which she courted for herself and child.- It came to the son but not to the mother whose diseased mind longed for it and when attendants attracted by the odor of escaping gas broke open the door to the room enough breath re mained In the body Of the mother to preserve her life. She lay on the floor beside the bed where she had thrown herself in the deleriunt of her struggles and the pure air near the floor had saved her life. On the bed the form of her fourteen-year-old son rested peaceful in. death as though taking his accustomed sleep. After hours of suffering the mother gained consciousness in the public hos pital only to realize that she had caused the death of all that "made life worth living for her. She fought against recovery but could not die and was tried for the murder of her son, the husband and father appearing for the prosecution. It was in 1901 that the wife deserted her husband in Washington and four years later that she took the life or her son. A merciful judge decreed that she was of unsound mind and she was saved from a possible death on the gal lows only to be consigned to the mad house. She is there today and may re main the remainder of her life and if she is released may be called upon to stand trial for the death of her son. The husband appeared before Judge Dana Thursday afternoon and told his story and asked for a divorce from the woman who had robbed him of his son. There was no bitterness in his heart for the poor woman who had caused him naught but grief for many years i and who had deprived him of tne com panionship of their boy. Nor was there anything save pity in the numerous affidavits which his at torneys produced and just enough evi dence to substantiate the claims of the plaintiff. "There is nothing to do ex cepting to grant the decree," said Judge Dana, "and I will take the other ques tions under advisement." "Mr. Raymond has offered to pay $25 a month to the guardian of his wife," volunteered Mr. Valentine, his attorney, "and will carry a $2,000 life Insurance policy in her favor In case of his death," he continued, "if this Is satis factory to the court." Mr. Raymond sat with bowed head while his attorney talked to the court, merely nodding his head in assent. Several Topeka friends of Mrs. Ray mond hear from her at intervals and it seems that her reason is returning and that she is just commencing to appre ciate the .enormity of her offense when in her mad delerium she took the life of her son. Her remorse is pitiful In the extreme but she begs for -release from the bars which confine her in the mad house. Judge Dana's decree of an absolute divorce ends the life tragedy of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond, who for a number of years were residents of Topeka and devout members of the Westminster Presbyterin church. Mr. Raymond will return to Washington- where he will again assume his duties as a clerk in the interior department and it is doubt ful if his former wife will ever secure her release from the mad house which confines her at Fatton.

TO OUT-OF-TOWN BUYERS MAKES COUNTERCHARGE. l-ltzgerald Says Lobbyists Would Have Got 25 Per Cent of Paring Money. W. J. Fitzgerald, president of the senate, does not seem inclined to pass over the replv registered last evening by Robert Stone, representative from Topeka, in regard to the Topeka paving claim. In an interview today, Presi dent Fitzgerald said: "First of all, I beg to assure Mr. Stone, lawyer and representative of one of the Topeka districts, that I have no jealous prejudice' in my heart against him or any other man who would at tempt to enforce collection of a 'just' claim in the manner in which the To peka crowd attempted to force the old paving claim through in the closing hours of the session, by threats, trades and deals. It is a well known fact that the lobby was to get 25 per cent of the graft if the trick was turned. "Now, as to the $100,000 road act at the last session: Mr. Stone as a shrewd lawyer and member of the house, if it were a steal, is more to blame than the president of the senate, for the item never went to conference and hence Mr. Stone had a vote and could debate the proposition, but the president of the senate could do neither. "If it had gone to conference and the president of the senate had ap pointed a conference committee that sustained it, his criticism might prop erly be made, and the same is true of all the other items Mr. Stone cites. They did not go to conference, and consequently the president had no control, power or authority to in any manner allow or reject them. "In the Topeka paving claim, the joint committee on claims and ac counts allowed the city $3,200, being the total of paving claim for 1907 and 19d8, and unanimously rejected the $63,006.32 item for paving claimed to have been done in 18 87 and 18 88. "The committee consisted of seven members of the house, appointed by Speaker Dolley, and five members of the senate, appointed by myself. Mr. Stone dodges the question as to the graft in the old paving contract. It was a poor Job at a high price, and the state was powerless to stop the work, and could have no voice in the letting, while the city of Topeka had all these rights and advantages, but did not exercise them to protect the state." Ready, J. C. Wilson and A. F. Brooker on four notes of $375 each, which he says the defendants gave him at vari ous times during the past year. Said R. B. Gilluly. attorney for Mr. McN'eal: "My client purchased stock in the In terstate Fiscal agency, which formerly dld business for the Great Western Life Insurance company in Kansas. When the agency concern went out of exist ence the defendants gave the note on which we are suing to reimburse Mr. McNeal for the stock he purchased."

Pars ley, general agent in Chicago for the Kansas City Southern railway, was arraigned today before Municipal Judge Himes, charged with larceny as bailee of diamonds valued at $2,000 from Mrs. Robert Canna, who told the police that she was a relative, of Senator'Theodore Burton of Ohio.

Topeka had a distinguished visitor to day in no less a personage than the Right Honorable James Bryce, ambas sador extraordinary and plenipoten tiary from Great Britain to the United btates of America. Ambassador Bryce's stay in Topeka was of very brief dura tion, about 30 minutes altogether, and although he and Mrs. Bryce walked right up into the heart of the city, pro bably none of the persons who saw the distinguished diplomat and political economist and his wife, had the slight est idea he was getting a flash at the representative in this country of the great British government. The British ambassador reached To peka over the Santa Fe at 1:45 this af ternoon. In the special car attached to No. 1, were the ambassador and Mrs. Bryce, a valet and a maid and the spec ial porter and chef. Thre was no re- inue of retainers resplendent in gold braid and such, but the ambassador and his wife traveled with their personal servants in attendance. When the train stopped at the Santa Fe station a reporter for the State j Journal met.. the ambassador at the door of his special car and was greeted courteously by the diplomat. He expressed a desire to take a stroll and with the reporter for a guide, the ambassador and Mrs. Bryce walked from the depot up Fifth street to the postofnee and back again. "ot First Trip West. Ambassador Bryce during the rapid troll to Kansas avenue and back in terviewed the reporter. At the outset he stated with a smile that he never had anything to say excepting to the secretary of state at Washington. He did say, however, that this is not his first trip to the west, but that he has several times in former years traveled across the state of Kansas to the Pacific coast. He had never before had an opportunity to stop off in To peka, but he was desirous that Mrs, Brvce should get a glimpse of a real western city and he expressed the pinion that Topeka is a typical west- rn city. Notwithstanding the ambassador is 1 years of age the pace he set in his troll from the depot to Kansas ave nue was anj-thing but slow. The re porter stretched his legs In order to keep abreast the distinguished visitor and Mrs. Bryce was distanced in tne walk to the postoffice by about eight feet. The ambassador asked about the effect of the primary law in this state and seemed greatly Interested in that system. He also expressed concern in the welfare of the people and the prospects for a bountiful crop this season. Both the ambassador and Mrs. Bryce expressed admiration for the wide streets of the city and the broad parking in the residence sec tion they passed and the appearance of Kansas avenue struck them very favorably indeed. They complimented the city on the metropolitan appear ance of its principal buildings and thought the site for the city was es pecially well chosen. After gazing up and down Kansas avenue for a moment the ambassador posted a couple of letters at the post office and then returned to the depot. Address In California. The British ambassador is on his way to deliver an address at the an niversary exercises of the California state university. At Williams, Ariz., the special car will bo attached to a train going through the Grand Can yon. The trip up the canyon will be made next Sunday and about the 17th the ambassador will reach Merced. California, for a visit to the Yosemite National Park. Ambassador Bryce is of rather slender build, about five feet six inches in height and his hair and pointed beard are white. He is very democratic in his manner and his bright eyes flash friendliness and kindness. His shoulders have the droop of the student and in his general bearing he has much of the appearance of the scholar rather than of the man of large diplomatic affairs. His voice is kind and genial and he speaks with a directness of thought in dicating that notwithstanding his age he is still one of the big, brainy men of the British government. Both the ambassador and Mrs. Bryce are without any ostentation in their appearance or manner, but the lady in this case permitted the husband to monopolize the talking. POLICE JOTTINGS. Officers Hunting for Evidence in Gambling Case. Rumor That Weir Known Poli ticians Are Wanted. Tomorrow's Selling Prices at Big Cash Store WOOD CAN'T BE FOUND Hotel Proprietor Sought as Wit ness, on a Vacation. Another Story of a Couple of Stranded Aetors. The proprietors of the National hotel gambling den, Mike Ring and Lawson Vhiteker, will be given their prelim inary hearing in the police court March 16th. Chas. L. Wood, manager, of the hotel has not been found by the subpoena servers as he has gone on a vacation somewhere east. All that he said at the time of the raid, about 12:30 o'clock Wednesday night, when the place was surprised was "How did you get In here? That door below is alwaj's locked." "A key," would be a logical answer and if it had been ob tained several weeks ago or even few days ago some of the legislators would still be in Topeka. Mr. Wood came out upon the street about o'clock following the raid and seeing Patrolman Parcels, ran up to him ask ing. "How about it when gamblers and their equipment are found in i hotel, what do they do with the pro prletor?" "Why, it is prima facie evidence that a gambling room has been in op eration there, and you know the pen alty for that," replied the policeman At daybreak, as the first car went over the river to the Union Pacific depot, the same hotel proprietor was seen by Patrolman Fowler to slip out of the National with a little grip and catch the car for North Topeka and train east for parts unknown. Other subpoenas are being prepared for prominent politicians and others or the city whose names are withheld who have been burning midnight oil at great expense in those two little rooms so carefully guarded on the top floor of the National annex. The guard of the den, Joe Matthews, employed es pecially to protect the gamblers was a deputy sheriff and a special policeman also. His appointment as policeman was revoked last evening by the may or, and Sheriff Wilkerson revoked his commission as a deputy. LOCAL MENTION.

The wife of a poor cigar maker of Havana, the mother of fourteen children, has given birth to quadruplets, two boys and two girls. President Gomez sent his congratulation to the mother with a tender of substantial assistance. Rev. A. T. Osborn. whoso healing by psychotheraphy, and whose expose of spiritualism has made him well known On both sides of the water, is to lecture on "Mind and Mystery" at the First M First M. E. church tonight at 8 o'clock. Sobbing violently, a girl of 19 years who had tried the 6tage life and found it lacking in returns and a young man also with tears in his eyes who had found the stage also a delusion were led into the station this morning by Detective Hutton. They are William Woods and Jose phine McClain, formerly of the Prim rose National Stock company of Kan sas City, but now stranded and trying to make a new start working at the Throop hotel and trying to cheer each other along by living together without a certificate at the Hotel Darlington. The Primrose company stranded at Richfield, Mo., several weeks ago. Then Mr. Primrose selected Miss Woods and McClain for team mates and they play ed -in vaudeville in Olathe where they made good. From there they went to Wichita, where they failed to make a hit, so sadly in fact that again they were stranded. Primrose caught a freight to K. C. and the other two came to Topeka, found a room at the Dar lington, and employment at the Throop. Their happiness in spite of poverty might have gone on undisturbed had not the girl become indiscreet, which indiscretion has resulted in her in vestigation for robbery. While on duty at the Throop last night, she called V. M. Reed, a traveling representative of the Star Tobacco company, from his room ostensibly for the purpose of helping her adjust a gas lamp. He re sponded and as he reached up to fix the light he was seized in loving embrace, so he says. Finally when she had gone he found that a $20 gold piece had been pilfered from his vest pocket a bad place for gold pieces. For some reason the robbery charge seems to have been dropped but instead the two unfortunate actors are to be made the victims of the first prosecu tion under the brand new city ordi nance No. 2919, which prohibits the un lawful association of men and women. The new ordinance passed February 9th by the mayor and city council pro vides a fine of not less $25 nor more than $300 and imprisonment of not less than 10 days nor more than 6 months or both for any man and woman not married to each other convicted of liv ing together. Heretofore, although there has been a state law to this effect the city has had no ordinance covering the offense by which the police department were authorized to arrest offenders and the laxity regarding marital relations in some districts of the city went on un disturbedfor lack of power-invested in the police department to interfere. Now the chief has secured the ordinance and it is to be brandished with pride at the police court in the trial of these two unsuspecting stage struck lovers who after all may as well have been married as they claimed to have been when they secured their room. Thinking that they had the dope on the Kneisler liquor chest in shape for a safe bet. two detectives started off with smiles for the things they knew. But on the way they were to do some other investigating. Another officer, thinking that they had had time to reach the Kneisler house, telephoned down to learn if anything was being found. No officer had yet been there and "the stuff was off." The two de tectives returning to the station to re port the other investigation learned of the message and drove hurriedly to the place but just as they expected things had been done there and Lawson. the driver for Kneisler swerved into an al ley driving a single rig on high speed just as they came into view. The offi cers followed in his tracks and yelled for him to stop but he appeared not to hear. By furious driving the .officers gained until they could hear a clinking in the rig ahead which sounded like bottles and they drove faster and yell ed louder and the! man stopped. A sack of empty beer bottles was found in the bottom of the rig. A little crestfallen the detectives went to the house and directly to an old work bench in the corner of the kitchen. A number of dish pans, pots, a pet monkey, and other cooking utensils were shoved aside and a board, ap parently nailed solid with the rest of the old bench, was found to come up as if hinged. In the old bench' a' bot tom on a line with the side casing had been constructed, maktng a cabinet which would accommodate seven cases of beer with ease but not a bottle could be found anywhere in the house. And the only satisfaction the officers have is that they found the old bench Women's and Children's Apparel We have recently enlarged our Suit Department. New Spring garments are arriving daily.

J: Sixth arid Quincy PAXT0N MXT0N Sixth and Quincy as they thought they would and it is a clever enough conception of a metnoa to evade the law. A meek little policeman, No. 22, fmeek in the presence of ladies) saw a big electric this morning run ning without a number and, almost with apologies, sent it down to the tation for correction too iussea ai me presence of the lady in the machine, perhaps, to tell her that she mlgnt get out if she cared to while the boy xi mui. it to the station, with the re sult that another automobile owner is naturally very angry. As a matter of fact the boy driver had to go to the station to be booked but the lady- could have alighted wnerever cnose only the officer forgot to men tion it. The name on me pu dnovet is J. W. Going, but the fault of not having a number is at the garage of N. S. Wear and directly the fault of H. R. Arimes. an employe. A fine of $5 was paid by Mr. Wear who brought down the No. 54 and hung it on the rear axle. There is no disgrace in having some one else for get to put the number of a machine on at the garage, but it is a violation of the ordinance not to have it there, so what is a poor policeman to do when nonnio have no numbers t to do his duty and why should j prominent people think they nave an over abundance of rights LOOKS LIKE A STRIKE. Anthracite Miners and Operators Have JXK-tceu Morns. Tihiiaioinhla I.' March 12. The an thracite mine workers and operators have locked horns. At this after- iht- subcommittee of the miners' union, told the subcom mittee of the operators that the nega tive answer they gave yesterday to the empiovers' proposition to renew tne present agreement for three years is final and that the only agreement the representatives of the workmen will sign will be that recognizing their organization and th3t it must be signed by them as members of the United Mine Workers of America. The fact that Mr. Lewis had defi nitely rejected yesterday the counter proposition to continue the present agreement was not announced by the miners' president until this afternoon. It looks as if one side or the other will have to recede from its position or there will be a suspension of work on Aoril 1. The Reading company made a significant move today when it de cided that instead of closing its col lieries tomorrow because of the slow demand for coal, as contemplated earlier in the week, it will continue to operate them. It is said the Reading's mines will continue to work uninter ruptedly during the -remainder of the month in order to increase the amount of coal on hand in case a suspension is ordered either by the companies or the union. The operators today had nothing to say regarding "The situation. It is known, however", that they do not in tend to change their attitude.

Iseley, Wichita, Kan. Mrs. Martha H. Lenoir, Fort Leaven worth. Joseph S. Longshore, H. M. Ives, Dr. Wr. L. Warriner. John S. Dawson, Eugene S. Quinton, Topeka; Dr. Eliza beth Todd. North Topeka. Governor Stubbs was enrolled as a life member, the first life member in the state. The finance committee made a report showing that It had audited the books of the secretary and treasurer and found that since Nov. 1st, the day of the last auditing, the secretary had re ceived $141 and had turned it all over to the treasurer except what she was au thorized to retain for postage and necessary expenses; that she had sold $184 worth of Christmas stamps at an expense of less than $30, and had placed $154.40 in the bank for the society as a special anti-tuberculosis fund, and that the treasurer had collected $1,875.40 for the Italian earthquake sufferers and had forwarded $1,500 of it to Wash ington and still held a balance in the bank. It may be of interest to know that the first dollar contributed to the Italian fund was made by Dr. R. Matthews of Wichita. The society voted to hold regular mcotinn here&fter on the first Wednes day afternoons of February, May, Au gust and fNOvemoer. TAFT FOR COMPROMISE. Proposes a Committee to Changes in Rules. Suggest Washington, March 12. President Taft has suggested to Speaker Cannon the advisability of appointing a com mittee of fifteen members to examine the rules of the house and to suggest changes in them as a compromise which would be acceptable to the "in surgents." The speaker is said to be agreeable to the proposition, providing he be al lowed to appoint the committee. To counterbalance the Influence of President Taft understood to be in favor of the Cannon organization of the house, the name of Theodore Roosevelt promises to be brought forth prominentry Dy tne insurgents as among their supporters in the fight against the rules of the incoming house. A letter has been received at the capitol making Dr. Lyman Abbott, of the Outlook, authority for the state ment that at a meeting of the editors of the Outlook, Wednesday, it was de cided to continue the support of the insurgents. Ex-president Roosevelt attended his first conference of editors on that day. The letter is taken as proof that Mr. Roosevelt desires the insurgents to win at this time. Heaviest-, Fall of Snow.

Eighth of JOHN BRIGHT INVITED National Lecturer of the Order Will Be Present. Items of Interest From Across the Haw. Preparations are being made by the Red Men of Wamponoa Tribe Io. 93, for their annual banquet which will be held April 8. John A. Bright, national lecturer for the order, is among those who have been invited to speak. Orm McAffertv. one of the most active members of "Wamponoa tribe, is chair man of the programme committee. The North Topeka lodge was organ ized April 8, 1903. In spite of the re verses indirectly due to the floods, the lodge has a membership of eighty, and Indications are that It will continue to grow and prosper. The bistory of the lodge as a. national oriranization is peculiarly Interesting, as it is interwoven with the history of the nation. The order started from a band of men called the Son of Liberty, organ ized at Boston in 1765 by those patriots who threw the tea from the British fhiDs into the harbor. George Wash ington was the first president of this lodge. The motto of the organizatioi was then "Liberty." In 1779 it was called the Columbian Order. Indian ceremonies were adopted. In 1813, Just after the war of 1812, the lodge was called "The Ked Men" and the word. Friendship was added to the motto, at Fort Mifflin, near Fhiladel phla, Pa. In 1833 the Improved Order of Red Men was organized at Baltimore. Md. The motto was "Liberty, Friendship and Charity." The ladies' branch, of the lodge, or the Degree of Pocahontas, was instituted February 28, 1887. Following this a military branch, the Red Men's League, was organized In 1898. Since then the Red Men have increased in numbers until their councils meet in nearly every city In the United States. Their membership now is about 800,000. "I can't understand why the water in this new well should be so very cold. It was just pumped a moment ago." This what a North Topeka man said recently as he took a drink from his neighbor's water bucket. The neighbor heard him, smiled a smile, but replied nothing. However, he knew what made the water so cold. Just after the buck et had been filled from the pump out in the yard, it had been placed near a fence corner, and a sudden gust of wind had blown a quantity of snow Into it. This was not noticed by the man who took a drink a few moments after wards and today he Is marveling at the" Icy coldness of his neighbor's well wa ter, r A past masters' meeting of the- Ma tsonic lodge Golden Rule No. 90, was held at the lodge hall last night.

u THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING MARCH 12, 1909. FAMILY CURED OF SOI TROUBLES Two Little Girls had Eczema Very Badly In One Case Child's Hair Came Out and Left Bare Patches Father's Head Sore from Child hood In All Three Cases CUTICURA MET WITH ITS USUAL SUCCESS "I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for bar, but it did not give in until warm weather when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold weather the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches as large as a quarter of a dollar. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a phy sician and he said that she had two distinct types of eczema. I continued with him for several weeks and the child grew worse all of fhe time. Her sister's arms were also affected in the same way. My husband came home one day with a box of Cuticura Oint ment and a cake of Cuticura Soap. I began using them and also the Cuticura Pills and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth as It had not been before for the winter. We keep the Cuticura Soap and Cuti cura Ointment constantly by us and when any little roughness or irritation appears on their skin I quickly dispel it with the Cuticura Remedies. My husband has used them with most satisfactory results for a sore head which has troub led him from childhood. Mrs. Charles Baker, Albion. Me., Sept. 21, 1908." Cuticura Ointment is one or the most successful remedies for torturing, dis figuring humors of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, of infants, children and adults, ever compounded, in proof or which a single anointing with it, pre ceded by a hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and followed by mild doses of Cuticura Pills, is often sufficiert to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humors, eczemas, irritations and inflam mations, permit rest and sleep and point to a speedy cure when all else fails.

Earns of Parsons. Shot J. S. Taylor Who Alienated His Wife's Affections. BOTH WERE FRIENDS. Mrs. Taylor and Her Affinity Eloped to Coffeyville. Murder Took Place at Defen dant's Home Last July. Parsons, Kan., March 12. The Jury has been sworn in to try the case of the state or Kansas vs. George Q. Karns. charged with murder in the first degree. Karns is charged with the murder of J. S. Taylor on the morning of July 29, 1908. tsotn .tiaras ana Taylor were ma chinists working In the M. K. T. shops and the two men had known each other for years, coming here to- getner aunng i?eDruary of last year. Taylor made his home with the Kar rises and there is evidence that Tay lor had used his friendship with Karns to win the airections of Mrs. Karns. A few days before the killing of Tay lor, Mr. Karns secured a pass for his wife to Oklahoma City and return and a short time afterwards Taylor quit the shops and on the Saturday before the killing on Wednesday he left Par sons. There will probably be evidence in court to show that Mrs. Karns did not go to Oklahoma City, or if she did go there she returned shortly as far as Coffeyville where she was met by Tay lor and where they spent some time in a rooming house together. From Coffeyville leaving Mrs. Karns at that place Taylor returned to Par sons and went to the Karns home where there was trouble between the two men which resulted in Karns shooting Tay lor. Karns had refused to make any state ment of the trouble that in any way implicated his wife, although she has been in no way considerate of him. She was in Coffeyville at the time of the murder, evidently waiting for Taylor to return and she immediately came to Parsons but instead of going to the Jail, where her husband was in custody. she went to the morgue where she wept over the body or Taylor. looking down upon the face of Taylor, Mrs. Karns 1 stated that he had often saved her life, j and she has since then refused to see her husoana or nave anything to do with him. MANHATTAN" MAN STABBED. Thirty-five Men Mixed TTp in Colorado Fight. Glenwood Springs, Colo., March 12. While attempting to act as peace maker, Hoiley Moore, aged 32, of Manhattan, Kan., was fatally stabbed by J. Trenken In West Glenwood, where thirty-five unemployed men were camping. As the result of the fight thirty are In the county Jail and five In the city Jail, where they will be held until a thorough Investiga tion can be made. Moore was rushed to the local hospital, and Mrs. Ketts, Hopkins and Clark performed an operation in the hope of saving his life. John Moore, brother of the Injured man is at his bedside. The victim is unable to talk, and the prisoners refuse to tell the reason for the trouble. The entire thirty-five men. It is said, were mixed up In the fracas either as principals or peace makers. Guns, knives, clubs and rocks were freely used, and that more were not hurt Is considered a miracle. BANKERS TO "WICHITA. Peerless Princess Expects Big Crowd in May. Wichita, Kan., March 12. Plans are already being made for the twenty-second annual convention of the Kansas Bankers' association. which will be held in Wichita Wednesday and Thursday, May 26 and 27. Secretary W. W. Bowman of Topeka is busy arranging the pro gramme, and one of the best meetings in tne nistory or tne organization is anticipated. There were 800 delegates at the convention last year, which was held In Kansas City, Kan. Almost as many are expected to meet in Wichita this year. Secretary Bowman is greatly pleased with the rapid growth of the association and the interest being taken In It. He states that one nun dred new members have been added since the convention last year, and that the association is rapidly coming to the front as one or tne best in the west. ARRESTED AT SHARON SPRINGS. Frank Meyers Taken to Denver Face Murder Charge. to Sharon Springs, Kan., March 12. trank Meyers, a German lad from Denver was arrested by the sheriff upon tne request or the police of Den ver. jfTom the information at hand, it appears that Meyers has been room ing at a rooming house in Denver, conducted by Mrs. Elsie McKanna's mother. It Is alleged that Meyers robbed his landlady of $200 and then he threatened to come to Sharon Springs and murder her daughter. The sheriff was advised to look out for him. Meyers ap peared here and enquired the road to McKanna's, who live about seven miles northwest of town. He then proceeded on foot to McKanna's but fortunately Mrs. McKanna was visit ing at a neighbors. He went to the neighbor's home, but returned to town without making any demonstration. The chief of police, of Denver, wired that he would be down after Meyers. FOR NORMAL STUDENTS. Part of Appropriation Will Purchase Emporia Residence. Emporia, Kan., March 12.

THEY AREMIZZING City Hall Lobbyists Are Kicking Today. Claim City Made Mistake in Faying Contracts. "ASPHALTIC A GRAFT." So Say Those Who Claim to Snow the Scheme. Many Objections Registered on New Filler. The reaction has set in. All of the unfortunates who have been unable to land the contracts and reap the bene fits of the pavement bids are buzzing around the city hall today. Some of the disappointed men are right in their assertions and others have a kick com ine that is uncalled for. There is still a lot of talk about the granting of the honey of the pavement contracts to the Gilfillan firm from Chanute. Some still insist that this was a bad mistake others say that it was the only and the best thing tne city could have done. Here is the fight that a number of the more rjenslva nut un: Gilfillan submitted a bad piece of navlne brick. This was as bad a mis take as submitting a bad check the streets are paved with brick and not checks. Furthermore the paving bricK submitted by the Chanute' man was not ODened until after the bids were nan died. There were several of the brick men in the office of the city engineer attempting to examine the sample sent by the winning contractor but it was wraDDed up in such a manner that a pin point could not be inserted between the package and the brick. All of the other samples were in plain view and were Dut on public exhioltion. .inis is not the fault of the city engineer but the fault of the contractor. When the package was finally opened it was found that the sample was one of the gas belt variety. The gas Den brick are all right but it is not a very erood exhibition of civic pride to con tract for an out of town brick when there are plants in this city which are hirinar men and sinking money all for the Durcose of furnishing orlcK ior city uses. Of course Air. tiiinnan may pui- chasa his brick from a Topeka firm- with the accent on the "may," Dut tne southern Kansas product will unaouDi edly be piling into the city in a few months. Work of Topeka Firms. In sneaklne a eood word for the To- neka. firms who have been a great in dustry for the city it might be well to mention the noble efforts they have have made to keep in stride with tne modern ideas in brick-making. or in stance take the Topeka Building Vitrified Brick company with kilns ana yards west of the city. Just recently they have spent thousands of dollars installine new macihnery for the one sole purpose or maKing DricK ior xo peka paving. They have hired new help Just for this purpose and the plant has been remodeled and enlarged in manv wavs. A week ago Mr. A. A, Rodgers, the manager of the plant, took a special trip to Iowa for the special purpose of securing an expert who is now at work at tne plant ai an im mense salary. His position as foreman means an altogether new series in mod ern methods and this is what the To peka firms have been striving for. Not long ago when tne DricK diock paving came into favor this company made thousands of the brick and when there were a number left over and it was attempted to use them for build ing purposes the brick layers struck saying the brick were too heavy. This meant a loss of thousands of dollars to this one firm alone and the bricks were useless. They were made up to specifications not lacking a fraction of an inch and thus they were worthless except for paving. In the paving brick itself the "left overs" are sold for regular building brick and the companies receive a better price for them for instance the Y. M. C. A. building Is built of regular paving brick. This shows the actual loss sustained by a local firm which has been strug gling for years and has at last gained a footing only to fall into the rut. It is said by the brick men that in letting a contract the city should have a little regard for local interests. But the brick manufacturers do not blame any person in the city they complain be cause of a lack of attention toward Topeka-made goods. There was a statement in the State Journal last night that was rather misleading. It mentioned the old pavement and hinted that better times are coming since the brick grafters have been pulled from the throttle. The reporter did not mean this in ref erence to any Topeka firm there are others. Besides this there was con siderable complaint from the people living in the southwest part of the city who said they could hardly get busy on their asphaltic pavement because the brick men were bothering them. This does not cast any reflection upon the brick men of" the city especially since it was proclaimed today at the city hall (not by the brick men especially) that this new asphaltic scheme was a fake. This statement came from a ni'Tiber of men who claim to know. Tl. Is is their explanation: "There is something the matter with a firm when it claims to put down this kind of pavement at $1.19 and still admit that they make a profit of 50 cents. It means that the graft is shin ing clear through the deal. It will be noticed that this man Blake who Is be hind the thing refuses to take any con tracts himself. He chases around over the country organizing companies in towns like Topeka and after he sells them the machinery he skips. The roR.

That Is Why the Tonic Treatment Through the Blood Is Curing So Many Cases of Stomach Trouble. The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills restores all the con ditions for healthy digestion by furn ishing the stomach with an abundance of pure red blood and sufficient ner vous energy. As the processes of di gestion are controlled by the blood and nerves, it necessarily follows that this treatment is direct and certain in its action, because it strengthens the stomach up to the point where it is able to do its own work. The whole secret of the success of the tonic treatment lies in the power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to make pure red blood. Every step in diges tion requires a full blood for upon it depends the strength of the muscles of the stomach and the ability of the glands to furnish the digestive fluids. Finally when the food has been digested, it can be tak en from the stomach and given to the different parts of the body only by blood that is pure and well-oxygenized. A reliable statement of a cure of stomach trouble by the tonic treat ment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is t recently given by Mrs. A. N. Card ner, of No. 401 South Fourth street, Atchison, Kansas, whose husband is an engineer on the C Ft. o. R R. "Followmg a run-down condition of tne Diood," she says.- "I suffered with stomach trouble for about a year. My stomach was so weak that I could not eat solid food. Gas was constantly forming on my stomach causing me intense pain. I was constipated, had nignt sweats and was troubled with palpitation of the heart. For three weeks I was confined to bed and suf fered terribly. "I received but temporary relief from my doctor although I was under his care for several weeks. At last I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and was helped from the first I used the pills until completely cured and have had no return of the trou ble." The value of the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is shown by the thousands of cures the pills have made in the various forms of stomach trouble, as acid stomach, ner vous dyspepsia, neuralgia of the stom ach, gastritis and catarrh of the stom ach. A booklet, "What to Eat and How to Eat, giving valuable information will be sent free upon request. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50c. per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, supreme court has decided against this local company scheme and it is Im possible for any company but the orig inal to make the pavement up to spec ifications unless a huge royalty is paid and this would eat holes in that 50 cents .profit. .-There is also some- thine the matter when every other company on thet ace of the globe charges $1.80 for the same thing and they do not mak.-one-fiifth as much profit. When the time comes ror tne laying of the asphaltic paving the com pany will back out or it or else notning can be inserted in tne specincauons." Thia is a condensed statement made by those who claim to know of the graft that Topeka is liable to endure at any moment. There Is a large com pany or local men oenina tne scneme and thev are pushing it hard but Those Who Know ask that their w a mi ner take effect. Then there is anotner kick Demg registered. The blgr fight between the city engineer, Councilmen Jordan and Tandy versus the street commissioner was practically enaea last nigm oy the granting of the contracts. But Street Commissioner Snyder is still claiming that the city made a mistake. He savs that the asphaltic combina tion will soon wear away and that it will not be as good as sand in a lew years' time. Mr. snyaer insists inai cement is tne best nner m me wuna and to back his claims he gives in stances where other cities have tried everything else and have returned to the sand or cement. "Furthermore," says Mr. Snyder, "the statement made by Mr. Jordan giving the immense cost of repaving in the last ten years Is altogether misleading. Topeka has not spent one cent on brick paving this year or any year. Of course ex cavations have caused an expense, but take the general run of brick pave ment it is as good today as it was the day it was laid and it has the same old brick and sand filler." Another thine- that some or tne om- cials are taking exception to is the manner in which the different kinds of pavement were classed. They say that it should be "A." "B" and "C" In stead of first, second and third. They claim that it gives the public a wrong impression of the pavement, thinking that the first class is better than the third, when It is not any better and in some cases not as good. This is the general run of the "dope" that is issuing. It would take a week to tell of all the trouble that is brewing, but this is customary while the many contrac tors are troubling tne city omcers. The mayor and councilmen seem well pleased with their choice of pavement and they feel as though all of the kicks and criticism is unjust to the work of the city engineer and the city committees. FAKE HACK DIDN'T WORK. Gang of Swindlers Found Iola Man Too Wise. Iola, Kan., March 12 That the Little Rock and Council Bluff race track and prize fight swindlers didn't get a victim in Iola is no fault of the gang. They tried hard enough to rope in John Wood, but were lacking in finesse and finally decided to let the.Iolan alone as being too clever for them. Mr. Wood incidentally met one or the gang in Kansas City last fall, and the gang immediately started out to add some of the Iola man's wealth to the $375,000 that their other victims nad contributed. A very short time- after he returned from Kansas City he received a letter from "Becky" Dobbins,- one of the sharpest of the gang, asking him to come in on one of their races and they would give him one-fourth of the winnings. Dobbins ex plained that they wanted an outside man to place the money on the race for them somebody that wasn't known. Mr. Wood showed the letter to Attorney W. D. Cope, who advised Mr. Wood at once that It clearly was a swindle and that the idea was to get him to bet some of his own money on the race. So to gether the two' wrote Dobbins a letter, telling him that both Mr. Wood and the lawyer would Join in the frolic, on the condition that there would be nothing done in violation of the law. The Iolans heard nothing further of the matter. Rev. A. T.
