Congressman Campbell Making Fight in House. Has Lively Controversy With Chairman Payne. MOKE TAX ON BEER. Plan of Kansas Delegation to Increase Revenue. Would Keep the Duty Off Tea and Coffee. Washington, April 2. Zinc in ore. That is the burning subject to some members of the house and people in some localities of the country, particu larly to Congressman Phil Pitt Camp bell and the Third district of Kansas. Zinc ore was never on the dutiable list until placed In the proposed tariff bill. There was never any necessity for it until within the last three or four years. None came in to interfere with the zinc miners of the United States. But three or four years ago the people of eastern Kansas, the dis trict of Joplin and down in Oklahoma found out that calamite was coming into the United States from Mexico and intprfering with their industry. They posted hotfoot to the treasury depart ment. Calamite was on the free list. under the general 'clause relating to rtrpo tlipr wna a rtntv ft 9ft nor rfnl on zinc ore. They never had occasion to study it up before. The treasury officials decided that inasmuch as calamite was more or less rich in zinc it should come in under a duty of 20 per cent, and they imposed it. Suits were commenced in several parts of the United States in New York, in New Orleans, and elsewhere to recov er back the 20 per cent paid under protest, claiming that it should come in free. "As these suits came to trial, one by one." said Chairman Payne, on the floor of the house, "the United States was beaten, and the courts decided that it should come in free. Still the government continued to collect the duty, hoping for a reversal in the higher courts, perhaps ultimately in the supreme court of the United Ptates. "The difference in price between New York and London has averaged about one-fifth of a cent a pound dur ing the last ten or twelve years. "The truth is that over there they have cheaper labor, and here the smelters being located in the Kansas district, where there is natural gas. we have the cheaper fuel, and one about balance tne other." Interrupting. Congressman Campbell tnid: "It is now claimed that the reduc tion made from a cent and a half to a cent a pound on zinc spelter leaves the zinc manufacturers open to a competi tion with the manufacturers of spelter in foreign countries that they can not stand. It is claimed that the Italian, the Belgian, and the Gprman refiners of zinc spelter can import the ore from Old Mexico, refine it in their countries, pay $20 per ton duty, and supply it to our markets cheaper than our own manufacturers can make spelter here." "In reply to that." said Chairman Payne, "let me state this one concrete fact: Great Britain has been importing this Old Mexico zinc ore and reducing it, smelting and rehning it, importing; it, of course, free of duty, and we have had a duty of a cent and a half a pound hers on the pig. Notwithstanding that, as stated by one of the witnesses jn behalf of the smelter company, the difference in price between New York and London has been only one-fifth o a cent a pound in favor of London cne-fit'th of a cent less during all these years. Now, he asks for an additional tiuty. There was a quarter of a cent because" of the efficiency inherited from the grandfather who had been a smelter In Great Britain, as compared with the efficiency of the smelter here. "Of course, after this bill is publish ed, gentlemen with those interests who have not followed the matter before will come to members of the house and con jure up some bugbear, some ghost, and transfer its existence from Great Brit ain to Belgium or Germany." I 1 1 ttotAri Mr fomnVAll .1.1 v .-.o.ntH. Hie freight rate from Belgium is about 10 cents a hundred, and the freight rate from the Kansas smelter is 28H cents to the seaboard markets. For this rea son 1 cent a pound does not afford pro tection to the zinc-spelter manufactur tr in this country." Again interjecting. Mr. Campbell declared the duty on zincc spelter un der the Dingley bill was a cent and a half a pound. "Yes." admitted Mr. Payne. j "Under the Payne bill it is proposed to make it a cent a pound," continued Mr. Campbell. "Just one cent," answered Mr. Payne. "A reduction of $10 In theton," said Mr. Campbell. "Now, my contention Is that the protection that is offered to the ore men by placing a cent a pound on the metallic contents of zinc In the ore "I did not yield for a speech," in terrupted Mr. Payne. Continuing Mr. Campbell said: "Is taken from them by removing the duty of half a cent a pound on the zinc spelter, because the larger im portations which will come in the finished product from foreign coun tries will Injure our mines and our smelters alike." Here the debate between the chair man of the ways and means committee and the Kansan closed. The prohibitionists of the entire country, led by the Kansas delegation, are putting up a fight for an in creased tax on beer. If the proposition "ver comes to a record vote in the "ouse there will be some embarrassing moments for a large number of worthy statesmen. As between a tax on tea, a tax on beer and tariff on cocoa well, any one can figure out for himself where Iowa, Kansas, the south and tome other states will be found. Republicans who oppose the counter vailing duty on coffee are putting for ward a suggestion to increase the fed eral tax on liquor licenses. They claim that additional revenue can be ob tained from this and that it will espe cially appeal to communities where sa loons are prohibited; but where drug gists sell liquor. Conirwimnn Ed Madison has in troduced the following bills: For the relief of William Walters; for the re lief of Johnson Adams; to restore John F. Lewis to the United States army with the rank of captai nof infantry and place hi mupon the retired list. He also presented bill granting in creased pensions to James K. Austin, James F. McDowell, Jesse B. Berry, David Bennett, William C. M. Bishop, Oliver Davis, John Campbell, William J. Seals, John J. Garr, Nelson Hag gerty, Alvaro B. French, Milo P. Parker, Martha M. Wilson Hyatt, Fleming C. Maupin, and Mollie J. Howard. President Taft has nominated the following for postmasterships in Kan sas: Charles K. Ware at Downs, to suc ceed Joseph H. Smith, resigned. Charles S. Raines at Galena, in the place of Gordon H. Boughton, who re cently died. Elva B. Hilton at Attica; reappoint ment. The Attica office became presi dential on the first of the year. Senator Curtis came upon two of his fellow-members of the upper house playing chess, and offered to bet money on either one of them winning or losing the game. He was willing to bet any old way. Neither had the nerve to wager against the other or for himself. "You fellows." said the senator from Kansas, "remind me of a man in my state who was always anxious to bet on his game of checkers. Only, you remind me of the one time when he backed down. "He was about to play a game for $10 with a fellow called 'Three-Fingered Jack.' Suddenly one of his friends exclaimed: 'Don't bet, Charlie. Don't you know that fellow wore off two of his fingers playing checkers? That's why he's called -Three-Fingered Jack. "t. v- PAttiai4 it Tiq hot wna TIPVrr i iiai it 1 1. 1- v. .v. -j made. A man who had worn off two whole fingers by brushing tnem up ana down the checker board was too much for my iriena. Senator Bristow has introduced bills granting increased pensions to Clifford Fetter and Samuel R. Shirley. These are the first bills presented by the sen ator since he took office on the 4th of March. Congressman Anthony presented in the house a petition of the Commercial club of Pittsburg, Kan., favoring re duction of duty on zinc ores or corre sponding increase on spelter. He also presented a petition of members of Oak Grange of Topeka, urging the en actment of bills for postal savings banks and parcels post. President Taft has nominated Charles Friskel to be postmaster' at Frontenac. Kan., for another term. The office becomes presidential today. The appointments of Elva B. Hilton and Charles S. Raines for the ptost masterships at Attica and Galena, re spectively, have been confirmed. William R. Drollinger has been com missioned postmaster at Farmington, Kan. Rural letter carriers appointed for service in Kansas: James M. Brown and Ivy Brown at Scandla; Edward W. Burch and James F; Ludlow at Waldo; Ollie N. Betts and Sibley I. Betts at Scandla. Ivy T. Holland has been appointed a city letter carrier for the Arkansas City postofnee. FIFTY MORE TO SPEAK. The House Is tlie Only Congressional Body In Session Today. Washington. April 2. The house to day was the only branch of congress in session, the senate having adjourned over until Monday. The tariff debate will be continued in the house from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m.. when a recess will be taken until 8, the session thereafter running until 10:30. Fifty or more members have indicated their desire to talk, and it is anticipa ted the time will be fully taken up with the tariff discussion to the exclusion of all other business. The system of free trade which the bill seeks to establish between the Uni ted States and the Philippines would bring about grave consequences to the Filipino government according to Pablo Ocampo de Leon, recent commissioner in a speech today. As soon as the measure becomes op erative," he said, "it would immediately cause in the first year a decrease in the revenues of about six million pesos. from which revenues the Philippine s government obtains the greater portion of its income for the support of the ad ministration. This decrease would aug ment every year as foreign importations gradually fell off owing to the advan tageous position which American prod ucts would have in the market, a posi tion which inevitably would annul for eign competition. "The decrease of the customs reve nues would inevitably compel the Phil ippine government to go into bankrupt cy because there are no other sources from which to obtain revenues and meet its financial obligation. The only reciprocity we ask is that our sugar and tobacco be admitted free of duty and in exchange allow all ag ricultural machinery and implements of manufacture free of admission into all parts of the Philippines." the commissioner said he voiced the sentiment of 8,000.000 Filipinos in asking congress to grant independence to the lc-namtants of the Philippines. DAM BLOWN UP. As Result of Quarrel Between Rice Growers and Cattle Raisers. Lake Charles, La.. April 2. News has been received of the dynamiting and complete destruction of the Mermentau dam at Grand Cheniere, 40 miles south of here. The dam was built at a cost of nearly $100,000 by the rice growers of southwest Louisiana. This is the third time a dam there has been dynamited. For many years a bitter controversy has gone on between the rice grow ers, through whose efforts the dam was built, and cattle raisers of Cameron Parish. The former claimed it was essential to keep salt water from the gulf out of the Mermentau river and its tributaries, while the lat ter declares much of their stock was drowned by the overflows thus caused. The situation was brought to the attention of the war department last fall, but the department decided to take no action. AVeather Indications. Chicago, April 2. Forecast for Kansas: Fair tonight and Saturday. Cooler tonight. PROTECT THE TREES. Chicago Adopts Novel Methods In Municipal Campaign. Chicago, April 2. A "distressing" feature of the local political campaign has moved Winona S. Fit-Jones to is sue the following "open letter" to the public: 'Preserve the forests' is the na tional cry, but we add, 'preserve Chi cago shade trees.' "It is not enough that the trees along our lake shore must endure the blasts, the blizzards and the gales through the long winter months, but at this season of the year they are standing in dumb anguish, swayed by the pictures of our candidates for aldermen, big black and white litho graphs, most distracting. "If these pictures are nailed up for our. admiration or encouragement, they fail utterly in their mission, for most of them look like the medical ad entitled 'Before taking.' It is ask ing a great deal of a Chicago tree to stand up against a' job of this kind, and asking much more of our citizens to look- with favor or-patience upon the candidacy of a man who makes his likeness an eye sore to his fellow citizens. "If we are to decorate our trees with pictures of men, a committee of citizens should be appointed (students of physiognomy preferred), whose duty it should be to select only pic tures whose outlines indicate intelli gence of a high degree, and physical attract! veness. "It is impossible to comprehend the frame of mind of a politician of coarse and unattractive features desiring to display his mental and physical im perfections to the citizens of this ward. "If I were a voter, I would take my chances on the other fellow,' after having seen the picture of one candi date on the trees struggling for exist ence on one particular street. These trees cry out to heaven for relief from their political burdens." TO FIGHT TARIFF BILL Shoppers in Many Cities to Organize Against the Measure. Chicago, April 2. Shopping Chicago has affixed its name to the protest de vised by the League of Cook County Women's Clubs to prevent the pas sage of the proposed Payne tariff bill, to the extent of close to 100,000 sig natures, with more to follow. "Signing stations" have been estab lished in many ot the largest stores and crowds have flocked to them. Ex tra stations have in some instances been arranged on upper floors to re lieve the congestion. The enthusiasm is not confined to Chicago. Telegrams and long distance calls are coming in from every direc tion and are referred to Mrs. Martha B. Lewis at headquarters'. These queries are for information as to how the campaign launched in Chicago is to be carried out. Jn several announce ments are made that similar cam paigns elsewhere will be undertaken at once.. Bundles of petitions have been sent to the following cities: Minneapolis, St. Paul, IndianapoJjs, Kansas City. St. Louis. Denver. San Francisco and Cleveland, and similar bundles will go to other cities as soon as arrangements can be made. Word has already been received from De troit that a petition scheme has been started there. TO SPEND MILLIONS. Intcrurban Tracks of Illinois Central Railroad to Be ElectricaUy Lighted.

After hiding in a barrel and tormenting Peter Patterson, a carpenter, by pelting him on the back with small stones, Hubert Mc Hugh, 15 years old, laughingly lifted himself from the hiding place and cried, "April Fool." His welcome was a large brick which struck him on the head. Patterson is under arrest, charged with assault, and McHugh is under the care of a physician. STRIKERS WINNING. Many Are Retaining to Work at Ad vanced Wages. Chicago. April 2. Unionists in the building trades who struck yesterday for wage advances confidently looked for a partial settlement of their trou bles today. A number of striking electricians returned to work today as about seventy-five firms have accepted the terms of the strikers. About 100 steamfitters today returned to their old positions with firms that signed new agreements. In order to guard against possible trouble growing out of the strike, Chief of Police Shippy issued an order today to keep policemen on reserve until further notice. LEASE SYSTEM ENDS. Georgia Hereafter Will Work Her Convicts Herself. Atlanta, Ga., April 2. Georgia shakes off her convict lease system. Hundreds of human beings were led from the mines, choking kilns 'and damp fac tories into the sunlight, from the con trol of harsh and often brutal task masters into the service of the state. Georgia has no state penitentiary. For. years her conviots have been sold to who would buy. ROOSEVELT LANDS Distinguished American Trav eler Ashore at Gibraltar. Had Two Invitations to Lunch eon, But declined Both. HE REFUSES TO TALK Or Pose for Purpose of Having Picture Taken. He Leaves at Noon En Route to Naples. Gibraltar, April 2. The steamer Hamburg with Theodore Roosevelt and the members of his party on board came Into Gibraltar a few minutes be fore 9 o'clock this morning. The vessel sailed at noon for Naples. Richard L. Sprague, the American consul, and ah aide de camp of Gen eral Sir Frederick, Fprestier-Walker, governor of Gibraltar, -went out to the Hamburg to welcome the .former presi dent of the United States. After an exchange of greetings Mr. Roosevelt, wearing a frock coat and a silk hat, came down over the side and stepped into a launch sent out by the captain of the port, and was brought ashore. The party proceeded at once to the residence of Mr Sprague. At 10:30 o'clock Mr. Roosevelt called on Gen eral Forest ier-Walker. The general has invited Mr. Roose velt to luncheon, as has also Mr. Sprague, but Mr. Roosevelt was not able to accept either of these invita tions on account of the short stay of the Hamburg. Mr. Roosevelt refused to be photo graphed and he declined every request for an interview. The weather is bright and warm, and Mr. Roosevelt appeared to be In the best of health and epirit3. Upon leaving the Hamburg he shook hands with a number of the passengers who cheered him enthusiastically. It is said today that the Roosevelt party does not intend to go ashore at Naples; that the members will merely transfer themselves and their belong ings from the Hamburg to the steamer Admiral In this event Mr. Roosevelt will not be. able to see the. Duchess of Aosta at the Italian port. The invitations for luncheon at Gib raltar were sent out' to the Hamburg by -wireless telegraphy and Mr. Roose velt's replies were communicated by the same means. The Welcoming Party. Ia the party that -went out to the Hamburg to -welcome Mr. Roosevelt were Thomas R. BHaryt the American vice -consul at Malaga, Spain, and a British naval officer who represented Admiral Goodrich, the British' naval commander. At the residence of Mr. Sprague, Mr. Roosevelt was greeted by a gathering of the Americans in Gibraltar. On be ing congratulated on his escape from assault at the hands of an Italian pas senger on board the Hamburg. Mr. Roosevelt gave immediate and em phatic denial to the report. He added that when, this false report came to his ears he at once visited all the steerage passengers and shook hands with them. Accompanied by Mr. Sprague, Mr. Roosevelt then called upon General Forrestier-Walker. This -was -at 10:30. Cordial greetings were exchanged be tween the governor of Gibraltar and the former president. Mr. Roosevelt was shown through the government house and the gar dens by the governor himself. He ex pressed his delight with the residence and added that he was enchanted by his visit to Gibraltar. Subsequently, accompanied by the governor, an aide and Mr. Sprague, Mr. Roosevelt drove in the governor's carriage out along the north front and up to the limit of the British territory. Then the party returned to town and the governor bade Mr. Roosevelt fare well, wished him God-speed, health and prosperity. Mr. Roosevelt replied with equal cordiality. Visits Mediterranean Clnb. With Mr. Sprague, Mr. Roosevelt then visited the Mediterranean club, where his name was entered on the visitors' book. He spoke to some of the club members, expressing his ap preciation of the club's courtesy to ward American naval officers on their various visits to Gibraltar. The American consul and former president then returned to the consu late, where Mr. Sprague presented Mr. Roosevelt with a beautiful basket of violets, which was much appreciated. Mr. Sprague and Mr. Roosevelt then drove back to the pier, whence Mr. Roosevelt went off to the Hamburg shortly after half past eleven. The dock was crowded with people who gave Mr. Roosevelt an enthusiastic farewell. The actual sailing of the Hamburg was delayed for 20 minutes. No official reception was accorded to Mr. Roosevelt on his own request. He informed the governor he was travel ing as a private citizen and asked that he be received as such. On his way back to the Hamburg Mr. Roosevelt made a brief inspection of the naval dock and adjacent work shops. Mr. Roosevelt appeared to enjoy his stop at Gibraltar greatly. He was much interested in the variety of races and creeds represented on the streets of the city, and commented on the har mony In which the people lived. While driving along the Moorish market, he turned around to obserce a vendor of Turkey engaged in conversation with a Moor. Popular on Board. Mr. Roosevelt has made himself pop ular on board the Hamburg by reason of his tact and courtesy. He has spoken pleasantly to. all the passeng ers, including those who are traveling steerage, and whenever he comes within the vision of the third class people he is given a mild ovation. Yesterday, the last day before reach ing Gibraltar, the weather was cloudy, but the sea was smooth. The passen gers got up a series of sporting everfts, the contests being held on deck. Mr. Roosevelt was umpire. He announced the nature of the contests as they came off. and afterwards presented the pre sents. Kermit Roosevelt,- his son. was winner in several of the competitions. Kermit Roosevelt, J. Lortng and Ed ward Peters were the committee of ar rangements. The captain's farewell dinner to Mr. Roosevelt will be given va ooara tne Hamburg tonight. Kins Met Him. Rome. April 2. The report that King Victor Emmanuel desires to meet Theodore Roosevelt and have him visit me eartnquake zone to see the results of the work done by Americans with the money given through American sources is confirmed in court circles today. His majesty would like to take Mr. Roose velt to Sicily on board the battleship Re Umberto. Nothing can be definitely settled, however, until Mr. Roosevelt is communicated with. The telegram sent to Mr. Roosevelt at Gibraltar propos ing the Messina visit has not yet been answered. It is said in court circles that King Victor Emmanuel will leave Rome Sunday night and reach Naples Mon day morning. Should Mr. Roosevelt adopt the suggestion of going down to Messina on board the Re Umberto, he will leave Naples Monday to arrive at Messina early on Tuesday. The steamer Admiral on which Mr. Roosevelt is to travel to Mombasa, will pass through Messina straits Tuesday noon and Mr. Roosevelt will be trans ferred from the battleship to the liner. ARLINGTON MEMORIAL. Vast Amphitheater to Cost $695,000 Is Planned. Washington, April 2. The commis sion of which President Taft, while secretary of war. was a member, ap pointed to prepare plans for a me morial amphitheater in the national cemetery at Arlington, Va., has sub mitted its report to congress. The plans prepared by New York architects contemplate a roofless structure covering 34,000 square feet, the ultimate cost of which would be $695,000. There would be seating room for about 5,000 people, and standing room in a colonnade for many more. It is contemplated that a crypt should be constructed under the colonnade and that it should be used for the burial of distinguished men who merit such rec ognition from the nation. Provision is made also for memorial busts or portraits and statues in the colonnade, "somewhat as has so fre quently been done," say the architects, "in the famous Campo Santos of Europe." it has been the endeavor to obtain a classic character in order to express the dignity and purpose of the building and with, this end in view, such classic structures as the theater of Dionysius at Athens, and the Ro man theater at Orange, have been studied, though not directly imitated. The architects have striven rather to keep the proposed building in harmony with the old colonial buildings of Washington, such as the White House and the capltol. It is believed the dignity and solemnity of the structure would be enhanced by leaving it un covered. NORDICA AS AN HEIR. Singer in a Massachusetts Court for Part of Her'Annt's Fortune. Boston, April 2. The request of Mme. Nordica, the grand opera star, who is seeking a share of the 100,000 estate left by her aunt, Mrs. Vannie F. Allen of Maiden, Mass., for a post ponement of the case, has been re fused in the probate court. The attorney for the legatees op posed the request, and by agreement of counsel, the question was left In shape for a suggestion that one of the executors be placed in charge pend ing the settlement. Nordica, who is anxious that the case be postponed, alleges the money came originally from the estate of her grandfather, "Campmeeting Allen," a well known evangelist, who left the property to John W. Allfn, late hus band of the present testator. The will by which Mrs. Allen cut off Nordica from a share of the estate contained other peculiarities. Mrs. Allen left the property to relatives of her husband in preference to her own blood relations, and the will contain ed a provision that the legatees must never bequeath their shares to any religious or charitable organization.

Washington, April 2. The Repub lican leaders of the house today, as the result of a careful canvass, ex pressed absolute confidence in their ability to pass the tariff bill when ever they decided to put it upon its passage. The decision now is to put the bill on its passage next Wednesday, the seventh instant. The announcement was confidently made by the Republican leaders that they would have sufficient strength to vote down a motion by the Democrats to re-commit the bill with instructions which would be the test. Notices are being ent out by Re publican Whip Dwight for every Re publican member of the house to be In his seat Monday to vote on a rule looking to the early passage of the Payne bill. The understanding today among the Republican leaders is that the rule will provide for a separate vote in the house on the lumber and hide schedules. The ways and means committee will amend the bill so as to strike off the proposed countervailing duty, on coffee and the duty on tea, and to re store a duty of 25 cents a bushel on barley. The interests which demand that the duty be taken off petroleum and the duty on beer increased are con tinuing their fight for a separate vote. It is probable that the rule will per mit a vote on the coal and iron schedules. CAN'T FIND THE SNAKE. Oklahoma Soldiers Are About Ready to Give Up the Search. Pierce, Ok., April 2.

2 TOPEK A BEAT K.C. Took Last Game of Series From Monte Cross' Team. Was a Slow, Uninteresting Af" fair Score 9 to 8. THOMPSON'S HOME RUN With One Man on Bases He De cided the Result. Hitting of Outfielder Long Was Featnre of Contest. Kansas City, Mo.. April 2. Monte Cross's aggregation of Blue Legs tasted the bitter dose of defeat for the first time at Association park and pick Cooley'a gang of tall players defeated the Blues. The score was 9 to 8 and a run In the eighth. Inning turned me tricic I It was a mixed up mess of twelve errors, twenty, hits and a good supply of dumb plays, stirred up well and shaken nut that gave this Topeka club a victory. But It Is the same old story. Dick won a game from the Blues last year and he wanted to keep up the good "record. Only one battle was waged a year ago, so It Is two out of three In the two seasons for Cooley. This morning is the first time the knockem will have a chance to, say "of course the Blues lost," but it will not be the last time for they are cer tain to swallow the same kind of pills many times during the battle of su premacy in the American association championship race this year. If there ever was a featureless game, this was one. There were two liome runs made, both Inside the park. Both times the pill went in the same place, between center and left fields and each time it was a hot liner that rambled to the boards. The hitting was great for the spec tators and Manager Cross is satisfied that his gang will be able to clout some this season, if they can't do anything else. But that Is all that can be said favorable about the class of ball played yesterday. The Blues made a lot of errors and dumb plays and Topeka made twice as many. When a player made a good stop he threw the ball to the grandstand or the first sacker muffed it. The cold weather might have had a great deal to do with it. but if so let's hope it gets warm so we can see what the fielders can do under favorable con ditions. It Was a Quiet Game. The bulb of the thermometer stood at such a low point at the ball farm tbat even old Dick Cooley hardly had time to say anything, the weather keeping him busy avoiding suffering from chills. Jake Beckley was the only one who had a great deal of pepper and the 100 fans in the grand stand and bleachers acted like dumb mutes. One of this number yarned in the middle of the game and every body looked around to see where the noise came from. Thomason Won the Camfc. Pitcher Thomason, a southpaw with considerable ability, practically won the game for Topeka in the eighth inning with a homer. Kern singled and was on first when Thomason punched the pill to the boards and both romped in. That tied the score, and In the next Inning some remark ably dumb playing gave the Cooley crowd another run. With one out. Long singled to right and Kahl went out at first. Cullen popped to the In field, and aftor several ran for it, Joe Crisp failed to get the ball and Long scored. That settled it. pre vious to that time both teams seemed to make bits and runs almost at will. Carlisle's home run in the second in Tarva.n nriend of him. Billy Hallman did not seem to be (Playing in his usual form yesterday.

Only It Took Ten Innings to Defeat Washbnrn This Time. Llndsborg, Kan., April 2. Bethany college won the first game of baseball played here this season bv defeating Washburn Z to 1 in a ten-inning game. The game was rather slow as the lo cals are still green and the visitors are not playing snappy ball, having been deieatea tour consecutive times since leaving Topeka. Next week the Nebraska Wesleyans come here for two games. Although there have been a few changes in the positions all the old players are back except the catch er and the outlook for a winning team is splendid. KNIGHT KNOCKED OUT.

The Boss didn't work at Kansas City in the last game. Danny Green held down the first bag and did a pretty good job of it. However, he failed to bin' gle safe. t Some of those Topeka certainly do hit the ball. youngsters There is 'Xm. ;v?iru P-m vv i tfe I (P If JT DISAPPEARS,: IT'S ECZEMA How to TeD Whether a Skin Affec tion Is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not.

Young Thomason, the pitcher, who is the last Kansas City game with a home run while Kern was on first. Then Long hit the ball pretty hard, two sin gles, a double and a home run being his allotment for the day., Funk and Cullen were switched around, but this time Cullen proved guilty of bobbling,. having three boots to his credit. Kern debutted behind the bat and did a pretty good job for the first day. He handled ten chances safely, and poled a single out of four times up. His pres ence will allow McManus time to get his arm in shape. Six of the Packers are now working out in Sioux City Alderman. Shea, Freeman, Andreas, Welch, and Ducky Holmes. Sioux City Tribune: Dick Cooley cele brated what he claims is his thirty sixth birthday a few days ago. Ducky says Di6k is telling the truth. Probably Dick will do as much for Ducky when the latter owns up to another birth day. Ducky Holmes is liable to experience some trouble in getting his arnt back into shape and one of the siouj cnty papers says that Crulkshank will doubt less get. a chance. for about half of the season. Topeka didn't lose so much when Cooley released Vols as the following dope from one of the Sioux City pa pers will show: Jtineny stated voiz is a wonderful pitcher, so far as mechani cal ability goes, but hasn't a bit of con trol. He can fourball about eignt men in a row and then, If he gets 'em over. strike out the next three. Then he re sumes the pass route. He won't do, un less he has changed from wnai ne was when he wore a Sioux City uniform. Dick made no mistake by letting him go. Cleveland has a new pitcher who is well known in Topeka.

Sinn-- f!itv Trlbuher" Jack Holland, the Wichita magnate, who is to play first base with his club this r season, nas looked over his recruits in the series of three games against Washington, and finds that two of his pitchers look fair ly good Shaner and "Happy" Westcott, formerly a Sioux City boy. Only these two are expected to be regulars, al though Anderson and Clark, two Dig right handers, may show improvement form and stick. His second baseman, Wnehes. is a favorite, and Anderson, the shortstp Uncle John mggins trad ed for Bill Annls. made a hit. His bat ting was so much better tnan anytmng Annls ever did that the Wichita fans think he is a wonder. He doesn't cover as much ground as Annis. however, ow ins to sore tendons. But later on- watch him. Western league fans who saw Anderson work last season, know that he has the goods. At one time Manazer Holmes would have landed Anderson had it been possible. jaicn ers Weaver and Quelesser are all right, say the Wichita fans. Dallas Alderman, once a Topeka nitcher. is showing up well with the Sioux City team.. Alderman's wildness Is all that ever separated him from the big leagues. Kansas City. April 2.

He jumped to Fort Scott in mldseason, however. Walters, a second baseman who was with the Birmingham team in the Southern league last season, has been secured by the Pueblo team and will play second in the place of Ham Patter son, who will have to go to Cincinnati. Walters is said to be a good infielder. Tip O'Neill will be in Pueblo Sun day. At that time it is thought he will shed more light on the reason why the Hawaiian pitcher, Reuter, reported to the outlaws in California, instead of the Indiana to whom he was bound by con tract. Pueblo has "canned" Hood, an out fielder who was highly touted. Another spring flower has been faded., Sylvester Olson played second base for the Iola team while the Denver bunch played in the Allen county town. The Iolans evidently wanted to load up for the Western Leaguers. According to the Kansas City Times it is spelled "Funk" not "Punk." But then what's the use of rubbing it in, everybody has an off day occasionally. Pitcher Hollenbeck has ''joined the Rourke family at Omaha and the fans are glad. Holly made a good impres sion on the Topeka fans in the exhibi tion series last fall. Omaha has a new first baseman by the name of Bath. He ought to help the Omahogs clean up occasionally. Rapp, Downs and Pickering will all join the Minneapolis team this week at Des Moines. In a recent game with the New York team. Spencer Arthur Abbott of Fort Worth secured a triple off Christy Matthewson. But then Christy is no Bpring chicken and he isn't liable to let himself out much at this time of year. The first game for the Lincoln team will be with the Cornhuskers from Ne braska university tomorrow. The next game will be with the Comiskey Sec onds next Thursday. Larry .Milton is like the man without a country. Larry will not manage the Webb City team and is without a place to hire out this season. Larry went to Oklahoma City but was let out there for alleged double crossing in the deal which switched Topeka and Wichita into the Western league. Later he went to A-ustin but the' Austin team went out of business. There is a good man for somebody. Larry is wanted by the Jobbers and may go there.

April 29, open the Western league season at Wichita. Sioux City Tribune: Practice season at Topeka indicates that the team Dick Cooley has pulled together, will be a strone contender this season. He has a. southpaw twirler named Beltz who held the Washington club hitless for four innings and he appeared good enough to go through to a finish. Danny Green hasn t made a hit since he joined the team, but Fenlon has won a home with his slugging. He showed a trace of what ails him. how ever, by an exhibition of poor base running, beine caught at the plate. Cooley played in fine form and hit like a fiend. His infielders are speedy and look as if they will make all kinds of trouble during the season to come. Maxey. a backstop, has his hand hurt and McManus, the regular catcher, is laid up with sore joints. Altogether Cooley's team looks stronger in prac tice than Wichita, which seems la mentably weak In twirlers. Anderson, who played, third for Sorinefield last season, has been pick ed up by the Guthrie team in the new Western association.

The most beautiful face appears plain indeed if not crowned with a head of luxuriant hair. One of the greatest charms of a beautiful woman is her hair; no woman can be said to be a specimen of feminine beauty who has short, thin, scraggly hair. When we speak of a Deliah, we call to mind the image oi some fascinating circe with long, wavy, luxuriant tresses. Falling hair as well as gray hair rings the death knell of feminine charm, beauty and vigor. Q-Ban Hair Restorer will make gray- haired people look youthful, and after it has done its work no barber, physi cian or specialist can perceive that t Is the work of art or medication. No woman need be without a luxuriant head of hair if she can obtain Q-BAN HAIR TONIC. Falling hair it corrects after one or two applications and it in creases the strength, length, vigor and thickness of the hair. Any drusrsnst will assert, that If six bottles of Q-Ban Hair Restorer does not change gray hairs to a youthful color, and that, if both the Restorer and Tonic do not arrest falling hair, cure dandruff, etc., that your money will be refunded If you have used up to the sixth bottle.

THE TOPEKA, DAILY STATE JOURNAL-FRIDAY EVENING APRIL 2, 1909. 3 The Day of the Transgrossor is lard The wise housewife specifies Cottokne every time in place of lard. Anyone with a particle of respect for his stomach would prefer a pure vegetable product to one made from the fat of a hog. Cottolene is always pure lard isn't. Cottokne will make more palatable food than lard, and food that any stomach can digest with ease. Lard is a friend of indigestion.

Cooper during: the past year with his new preparation, Cooper's New Discovery, is unparalleled. Cooper has a novel theory. He believes that the human stomach is directly responsible for most disease. To quote his own words from an interview upon his ar rival in an eastern city: "The average man or woman cannot be sick if the stomach is working properly. To be sure, there are diseases of a virulent raturf, such as cancer, tuberculosis, iMabetes, etc., which are organic, and nre not traceable to the stomach, but rven fevers can, In nine cases out of ten. be traced to something taken into the stomach. All of this half-sick, nervous exhaustion that is now so common, is caused by stomachic con ditions, and it is because my remedy will and does regulate the stomach that I am meeting with such success. "To- sum the matter up a sound digestive apparatus. that is doing,.its full duty, getting- every particle of vitality out of all food by transferring it to the bowels in a perfectly digested state this above all else brings health." The following unsolicited endorse ment comes from J. L. Turk, living at P15 Locust street, Vincennes, Ind. Mr. Turk is well known throughout the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. He is now sixty-eight years of age, and claims his general health is better than for some time past. "For several years," says Mr. Turk, "I have suffered from stomach trouble. I was in a badly weakened and run down condition. After eating I would bloat, and be in pain and distress for several hours. An all-gone feeling would come over me, and I had no energy nor ambition whatever. This condition continued for a long time, although I took treatment from sev eral good physicians, and tried a num ber of patent remedies, without relief. "On reading of Mr. Cooper's theory I became convinced that he was right, and procured several bot tles of his New Discovery preparation, in order to test his claims. It afforded prompt relief, and when I had taken three bottles, my trouble has dis appeared and I was feeling like a dif ferent man. To make my restoration sure I took two more bottles of the New Discovery. It has now been sev eral months since I stopped taking the Cooper medicine, and I have ex perienced no pain or-distress 'fn "that time, although I eat anything I wish. "The medicine also relieved me of chronic constipation and piles, the lat ter having bothered me for many years. Cooper's New Discovery is a wonderful preparation and I recom mend it to any one suffering from stomach trouble." Cooper's New Discovery is. sold by all druggists everywhere.

O., April 2 Father Willis McMahon, who filed a petition in bank ruptcy in the federal court here Wed nesday as a result of his connection with the enterprises fathered by P. J. Kieran. president of the Fidelity Fund ing company, maintains that if Kieran had been successful in securing all the nioney he needed to float his scheme, everything would have come out all right. "I had great confidence in the ability of Mr. Kieran," said Father McMahon today. "But he did not get all of the money from the banks that he needed and failure was the result. "I first suspected that Kieran's plans were not working out well, when I heard that he was paying large bonuses on loans. He often paid a bank a bonus of from 25 to 30 per cent of the face of the note upon which the loan was obtained. In one instance he gave a banker a single bonus of $50,000." Attorney P. T. Brady, counsel for Father McMahon, says the inside of the transactions of Kieran have not. yet been shown and startling developments may be expected at any time. Father McMahon will have practically nothing left but his salary of $900 a year if he is declared a bankrupt. FORMER TOPKKAN DEAD. TO PURCHASE AIRSHIPS. Canadian Military Equipment Is in Contemplation. New Tork, April 2. Canada is not to be outdone by Europe in the matter of up-to-date military equipment. Accord ing to Glenn H. Curtiss, the aeroplane expert of Hamn.ondsport, N. T., who has been identified with Alexander Gra ham Bell, and the aerial experiments in Baddeck, N.

There is also a proba bility that the Silver Dart will be ship ped to England for tests there under the supervision of English army offi cers.

Leonard Stevens and Matthew Taylor, who were indicted eight years ago for the murder of Clarence War rick, 15 years of age, at Somerton, O., have been arrested at Zanesville, O. The murder of the boy was most brutal. At night burglars entered the home of Mrs. Warrick, an aged widow and tortured the boy to make him tell where a sum of money was hidden. The boy refused and the burglars shot him and then threw the dead body in to the bed where his grandmother lay. DONKEY KILLED. BY GAS. His Owner Is Suing an Express Com pany for the Price.

Pittsburg, Pa., April 2. The wage re adjustment announced by the Jones Laughlin Steel company, limited, the largest independent manufacturers in the country, has gone Into effect. Ac cording to W. L. Jones, general man ager of the company, about 6,000 men are affected. Mr. Jones says the "open market" conditions in the iron and steel trade have finally forced readjustment for the wage rates of mills in the Pittsburg dis trict. It is said action toward a re duction will be taken by April 15, by the United States steel corporation. At least it is beginning to look as though the Missouri Pacific was going to make peace with Topeka, and im prove the much abused Kansas, Ne braska Dakota line. This line has been a source of annoyance ever since it was built and has been the laughing stock of all the country which it traverses. But if the rumors of Mis souri Pacific improvements which are now pervading Topeka are crystallized into some definite form and carried to completion Topeka may some day be giaa mat sne nas mis little road run ning into her midst. The Goulds as is now well known are going to spend over $33,000,000 in Kan sas during the summer, of this amount $3,500,000 Is ready right now and has been placed in banks -at the disposal of the officials of the road. Of course the main portion of these vast funds will be spent in improving tne mam nne irom Kansas City west to Pueblo, but there will also be some of it spent on the line from Fort Scott to Topeka. Down near Fort Scott the work of im proving the Topeka branch is already under way. The right of way is being regraaea in some places and new ties and rails are being placed along the line. These will be put on this branch and it is reported that new ties and rails will be placed along the entire line, although this has not been verified. West of Fort Scott on the branch which runs to Wichita new 80-pound rails are being used, but it is doubtful whether the rails to be used on the K. N. D. will exceed 70 pounds to the yard. Another item of Interest in connec tion with the K. NV D. branch into Topeka, Is the possibility of at least one new freight train this summer and possibly two extra freights which will make dally trips. These trains are necessitated by the Fort Scott .paving brick shipments which will be sent to Topeka during the summer, over 500 carloads will be sent here. This will make business pick up for the Gould line ana may result in one or two extra train crews being tem porarily located here. There is plenty of business in Topeka for the Missouri Pacific any time the roadbed and property are fixed up in any kind of condition fit to handle the business. Also when the passenger train service is improved so that it will be possible for residents of the little towns down the line to come to Topeka in the morning and return home the same night, instead of arriving here in the afternoon and being compelled to return home the next morning.. MISSOURI PACIFIC BUYS BALLAST Tailing Purchased In Webb City Dis trict Cost $5,000,000. Webb City, Mo., April 2.That the greater part of a $5,000,000 appro priation recently made by the direc tors of the Missouri Pacific railroad for the improvement of its road bed will be used in the purchase of tailings in the Joplin district is the state ment of officials of the company fol lowing a visit of General Superin tendent Gould, who, with a number of others, spent the greater part of the day at Webb City investigating the situation. During the day contracts were made with owners of tailing piles in all parts of the district near here. The railroad magnates in their spec ial car were taken on a tour of in spection over the many mining spurs and switches, where the largest available tailing piles are located. As the result of the contracts made yesterday it is said that within a week 15 train loads of 45 cars each, will be forwarded daily from the Webb City-Joplin district to all parts of the Missouri Pacific system. Ultimately, it is said, the use of tail ings thus begun will be extended un til the greater part of the $5,000,000 appropriation has been expended. SANTA FE GETS NEW ROAD. Has Purchased the Santa Fe Central Says Rumor. Santa Fe, N.- M., April 2. It is re ported on good authority that the New Mexican Central railroad, an independ ent line 116 miles long, connecting with the Rock Island at Torrance, has been purchased by the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company. This road was built five years ago by Pittsburg capitalists, of whom Francis J. Torrance, W. C. Hagan, W. H. An drews and A. G. Kennedy were the moving spirits, and represents an out lay of almost- $3,000,000. The Rock Island had a traffic agreement with the EI Paso Southwestern, which expires July 1. The Rock Island will effect a traffic agreement with the Santa Fe for use of the Central Albuquerque Eastern into Albuquerque, so the Rock Island can get into El Paso, Texas, over the Rio Grande division of the Santa Fe. The refusal of the El Paso South western railway to renew the traffic agreement with the Rock Island brought about the purchase of the Central by the Santa Fe. A branch of the Central is being built to Albu querque, and it will be rushed to com pletion. The New Mexico Central has never been a paying road, and its purchase by the Santa Fe Is gratifying, as it will make this road an important con necting link.

Returns to New Xork a Revigorated Mao. New Tork, April 2. E. H. Harri man reached here late Thursday,, to all appearances a revigorated man af ter his long combination vacation and business trip over the network of Harriman railroads in the west, the southwest and in Mexico. Mr. Harri man said he found in the west and southwest a vastly changed sentiment toward the railroad with such a sen timent there would be encouragement for the railroads to go ahead with de velopment work, he thought. "Repeal of repressive state laws Is imperative if the railroad lines the people need and that the railroads want to build are to be -constructed. The truth is, that the states in adopting these laws only followed the example of the national government. Now the national government should set the reverse example and in augurate the modifications. I should say not repeal but readjustment of the laws regulating corporations is the necessary process."

The news is received in The State Jour nal bulldlns over wires for this sole pur pose. (The Memphis Commercial Appeal rightly thinks that "Dixie" will survive even If Bernard Shaw does not like It. A New Jersey man has been put in a lunatic asylum because he Is Insane over baseball. It's a good thing that such a procedure is not general in this country. The spectacle of tariff Jugglery now hafore the people Is the best sort of an argument for the delegation of the whole business to a permanent commis sion of tariff experts, thinks the Wash ington Herald. And it's a good thought. The Chicago News remarks that in the days of the grandmothers, when there was a stocking factory in every chimney comer, the tariff on knitted foot coverings was a matter of Indif ference in the household. Making provision for the pavement of the streets seems to be quite as dis turbing a proposition to the city coun cllmen as did the renaming of them. Assuredly Is the path of the city fath ers strewn with everything except roses, The ice men have always been envied more or less because of the returns from their trade, but how about the brick masons? They have been receiving 62 cent an hour for their work and they have now gone on a strike with a de mand for 70 cents an hour. Here's a cruel prank of fate. An aged and wealthy Georgian fell in love with the mistress of a boarding house be cause she was such a fine cook and after a brief courtship he married her. Three short weeks after the wedding he died of acute Indigestion. News forecasts of what is going to happen in Washington are generally unreliable but unfortunately such is pro bably not the case with a recent dls patch announcing that there is trouble ahead for the- tariff revision and its consummation Is likely to be delayed for come time. Mr. Taft favors a ship subsidy. It's to be hoped that a majority of the present congress are of the same mind. This Is one of the crying needs of the nation. In no other way can the prominence it should have in the marl time world be attained. The millions of dollars worth of American articles and goods which are exported each year should be carried in American .built ships flying the stars and stripes ef the United States. Norway has been contemplating the restriction of emigration to thi3 and other countries. An association which has been agitating this proposition is beginning to receive replies from the (people to requests for their opinion on the subject but not of the kind that mvere looked for. Many Norwegians Jiavs answered that they are strongly in favor of emigration because the eml Brants send back to their relatives at home much money which they make over and above their expenses in Amer lea. Sometimes even disgusting news Is tof the good variety. In this category is the announcement that Mrs. Ferdl- ii and P. Earle, of affinity fame, is suing for an annulment of her mar riago to the artist on the grounds that he is a bigamist and a lunatic. Not much sympathy will go out to her, though, even if she" did marry the man while, as she says, she was in a psychological maze." It may also be said that the adequacy of such an ex cuse Is that few people will under stand Just what it is. Some time ago a paragraph ap peared in these columns which credited Governor Fort of New Jersey with the suggestion that the term of the United States presidency should be for life. This statement was based oii what purported to have been a re port of a speech made by Governor Fort in Chicago on Washington's birthday. It seems that this report was incorrect. Governor Fort writes to the State Journal that there was nothing In his speech as delivered to the press nor anything that he said on the platform that would Justify any euch construction. "I did quote from Alexander Hamilton' on the subject," writes Governor Fort, "and I suppose that quotation has been taken as my views, but this is far from the truth. I am not in favor of a life term for the president. This in my mind, Is absolutely Inconsistent with our Re publican form of government. For myself I would like to see a term of, say six or seven years without eligibility to re-election,. I am too in tense an American to advocate a life tenure for any office." The State Journal regrets that it was led Into an unintentional error and mis-. represented Governor Port In this re gard and is glad that he furnished it with the means for making this cor rection. WHERE HARRIMAN ERRS. During his recent trip from the Pa cific coast to the east, Mr. E. H. Har- i riman, the railroad magnate, has been delivering a series of lectures, as It were, on the public questions of the day through the medium of interviews with the newspaper men at the various cities where he has stopped for a couple of minutes or so. Much that he has had to say has been de- cidedly interesting and to the point, I but this has not been true of every thing which has come rrom his lips, j And the subject of the government supervision and regulation of railroads is one of these things. Mr. Harrlman declares himself to be strongly in favor of such a propa ganda if the supervision and regula tion Is combined with an adequate protection, and In this he is right. The federal government and the states should seek to conserve and protect all railroad property to the fullest extent. But on the question of governmental supervision of the issuance of stocks and bonds by railroad corporations, Mr. Harriman is not in popular ac cord. "It's none of the people's dusi- ness, to put it bluntly," said Mr. Har rlman, "how much securities and in what form they are issued so long as the railroad is run in the interest of the people and so long as it gives the greatest possible unit of service that lies within it." If there is anything more the peo ple's business in the supervision oi railroads than a power to regulate the issuance of their stocks and bonds, it would be difficult to find. Such a supervision is absolutely necessary If the people are to be sure that "the railroad is run in the interest of the people," to use Mr. Harriman's own words again. As long as railroads are permitted to Issue stocks ana oonua iu a promiscuous fashion, as many of them have done In the past, they will not be run primarily in the interests or the people. They will be run as sev eral of them have been for years back for the purpose of paying dividends on an excessive amount ui oiucivd bonds, most of It nothing but water of the impure sort, and the people have to oav increased freight bills so that these dividends can be met. it nil of the "water" that has been squeezed into the stock and bonds of many of the railroads in the coun try could be drained off there would h no necessity for many of the high the nresent time. It would be quite easy for the roads to nav reasonable dividends on their loo-HmotA stocks and bonds with freight rates at a much fairer figure. It will probably be impossible to get much of the "water" out of the rail road stock and bonds, which has al readv been injected into them. But the supervision of the issuance of stocks and bonds by ;the railroads from now on. which several states ertaken and which all of them will in time, as well as the fed eral government in all probability, will prevent the watering of stocks and bonds in the future, and that will be accomplishing something of a very de sirable sort. THE INDIANS DEADLY FOES. From one million Indians on the North American continent at the time of La Salle and De Soto, the number of redmen on United States soil has been reduced to scarcely more than a hundred thousand, says Emerson Hough in Hampton's Magazine for April. The magazine sent Mr. Hough through the west to make a careful study of the Indians, both in Okla homa and on the outside reservations. Generally speaking, he says, the reser vation Indians have not improved, The Five Civilized Tribes, it is true, have had a large per capita wealth, and the Osages, not of those tribes, but beneficiaries under much the same laws, are said to be the richest people. per capita, in the world, or at any rate in America. Yet the great bulk of the, redmen which means the reservatlonlsts have done no more than to take on the vices of the white man without his virtues. They have lost the sturdy, cleanly habits of their early days, and whisky and tubercu losis find them easy victims. "Out on the blanket reservations the Indian question is, in fact, largely solving itself by means of tuberculosis and alcohol," writes Mr. Hough. "Even among the Five Tribes con sumption is doing its work in connec tion with the deadly Jamaica ginger and lemon extract, which make the general beverages in a country which is very, very. dry. If I could run a wide-open bar in Muskogee for one month, and could have as an adjunct thereto a barber shop selling the sort of tonic which makes the negro's hair grow straight, I would not care who made the songs of this country." FREE HIDES. Considerable is the protest going up these days in the halls of congress and elsewhere against the proposal in the Payne tariff bill to place hides on the free list. A good deal of this op position comes from the people, and their representatives, of localities where cattle raising occupies a prom inent place. The claim is set up that if the duty on hides is taken off the price of cattle will be materially re duced. It does not seem, however, that this position Is a tenable one. Especially, when the fact is taken Into considera tion that the removal of the duty on hides and a good sized reduction of the duties on manufactured shoes and other leather goods, which is an ac companiment to it, will be the means lessening the American shoe bill to a great extent. Almost everyone is aware of the fact that the cost of shoes has been most unreasonable during. the past. few years. Experts estimate that the removal of the duty 'on hides will mean a saving for "the people or wis country of at least J30, 000,000 annually In their shoe bllL The reduction of the duties on pre pared leather and manufactured shoes will have a tendency to make this saving much greater. And as Representative Crompacker of In diana said the other day in debating this question in the house of represen tatives, the farmers and stock raisers will be able undoubtedly to save more money through the reduced price of shoes, harness and other leather goods as a result of the removal of the du ties on hides than they would if the duty was continued In force. As a matter of fact, will the taking off of the duty on hides cause sub stantial decrease In the price of cat tle? In the raising of cattle and their sale, little or no attention is paid by the farmer or stock raiser to the price that the hide of a steer will bring him. Cattle -are not sold primarily for the value of their hides. It's the beef on them that counts In the sale and In the purchase. The hide pro position Is a side issue with the pack er who buys the cattle. Ordinary steers bring to their raiser from $60 apiece up. The packer gets from $7 to 111, or thereabouts, for a hide. The duty on hides Is 15 per cent ad val orem. This means that they are pro tected about that much. A fifteen per cent reduction on the price of a hide will not mean much of a decrease In the price that Is paid to a stock raiser for a steer. Certainly it would not be anything like the benefit he would gain in the reduced cost of shoes and other leather goods through a re moval of the duty on hides. JOURNAL ENTRIES Few men. or women either, are anywhere near what they think they are. That a woman's "won't" means "will" is an oft-repeated theory, but it's a great fallacy. The foundation for many a success ful life Is laid with a slipper in the hands of a wise parent. Girls waste time in dreaming of the ideal man who is going to come for them. There Isn't any such a thing. Honor is a fine thing but a man doesn't find it very substantial to lean on when he has lost everything ex cept It.

Hutchinson Gazette. The Hutchinson News contends that fifty days are not long enough to aXlow the legislature to do its work properly. The News explains that the fifty-day limit was put in the constitution at a time when the legislature met every year and the state was small.

Every friend is a disappointment in trouble. Girls of 16 regard large families as extremely vulgar. Almost all actresses are either mar ried, or just getting over it. So few women know how to use dry goods after they get them. A woman stops eating when she Is worried, and a man stops sleeping. All men look in their photographs as though they would make good hus bands. No man's religion ever appears a success to those to whom he owes money. People who are drunk wouldn't ap pear drunk if they did not try so hard to act sober. If you have a strong point in your character, don't make it a weakness by admiring it too much. When a man tells us he likes to work, we do not say so to his face, but we think it just the same. It is related that a man went away on a month's trip lately, and found his women folks reduced to skeletons upon his return. They had been living on a little thin slice of bread, and jam and tea to save the trouble of getting regu lar meals. They were envied by all the women in the neighborhood who had cross men to cook big meals for three times a day. They admitted that sometimes they did not even eat their bread and jam, because they had cleaned the dining room- and ..fairly reveled In keeping it shining. KANSAS COMMENT TAXING BACHELORS. Miss Tlera Farrow of Kansas City. Kan., leads the strenuous life. She is active in politics, and has held for two years an important office to which she seems likely to be reelected. She is also-interested irr educational mat ters, sociological problems, and any thing that happens to come along. miss narrow ft as the courage of her convictions, and she has plenty of con victions; and the independent cast of her mind is illustrated by har recent utterance, to the effect that all bach elors should be heavily taxed. She naturally expects the bachelors to vote for her, but rather than hide her convictions under a bushel, she cheer fully takes the chances, of losing their support. Bachelors are naturally and proverbially chivalrous, but it is a question whether they will carry chiv alry to such an extreme as to vote for a maiden who insists that they are pursuing a treasonable course, and ought to be taxed for It. It might be argued that the girls should be taxed if they persist in re maining unmarried; for their growing habit of traveling in single harness is responsible in a large measure for the condition of thousands of bache lors, who are weeping their young lives away because the damsels they would like to marry have discovered missions in lAle,- and turn down the idea of matrimony. Since women be came lawyers and preachers and of- iice nolders they have developed a distaste for orange' blossoms and rice and old shoes, and when they do con template matrimony, its commercial aspects are usually uppermost, nd love nas mtie to do with tie negotia tions. The prospective bridegroom is requested to demonstrate his earning capacity, and if that is satisfactory, the glad wedding bells may ring. In order to simplify things, and give the bachelors a chance, there should be a law requiring the girls to do their full duty during leap year. There is no doubt that their duty in mis regard is snamefullv neerlected. The marriages which result from pro posals maae oy women might be counted on the fingers of one foot, so to speak; and. if personalities are oer- mitted, one might ask Miss Farrow ror information as to why she has not lived up to the leap year possi bilities. Mad she done so. there prob ably would be one bachelor less, and the necessity for thw proposed tax would seem less grievous. It is a condition that confronts the bachelors, since the suggestion of Miss arrow nas attracted wide attention and Is receiving much applause, and if they desire to guard their secret rights, they will have to organize, and establish a literary bureau, in order to prove (which most of them can do), that their single condition is the re suit of female indifference, heart- lessness, or ambition. Emporia Ga zette. LEAVE THE -POLES ALONE. What did Mr. Shackleton, the Brit ish lieutenant, want with that south pole, anyway? What would he do with it if he was lucky enough to find It, somewhere in those wide Southern waters? Would he mount a wireless telegraph station there, using it for a mast, to tell his people In London that be had arrived, or would he pull it out by the root and take it home with him? j This pole-diseoverisg business has been-quite a fadigfreeent years, in this big old world. To -get to the ex act spot, where It is fcald to be locat ed, men have tried schemes, time and time again, and the pole stands there, according to the latest advices, just as it has stood since the days when the world was made and hurled off Into space. v: And long may It stand or wave, or whatever a pole Is expected to do. The Kansas idea Is that this particular pole and the other one which has been chased for years, at the north end- of the universe, should remain where;! they are, and any attempt on the part of the British to capture them and move them to Westminster Abbey will be looked on with suspicion and as a violation of the t Monroe Doctrine.

These people are familiar with good literature, read the daily papers and are well inform ed, considering their limited oppor tunities. They have a sort of peasant college institution where for five months during the winter instruction is given in cultural rather than tech nical subjects, and the students are j from the villages and farms'. I The rates of tuition are low. but many students give up a large portion of a year's income for these privileges. Of course, the. simplicity of life here has much to do with the popularity of this higher .education for the masses, but their example should be inspiring to us. in ine united states people have vastly larger opportunities to get education, and to enjoy it, too, in tne way these Danes do, or better. Unlike them, however, we common ly look on learning as a means to an end rather than as what It is, an end m itseir. witn an our night and oth er, special school courses, we don't seem to be able to get the same re turns for our investment in these things that the Danes do. Why- this is it will pay us to consider. Pitts burg Post. DEFECTIVE LEGISLATION. Wouldn't it be Just as well to send a man to the penitentiary for putting a sleeper in a legislative bill as it is to send him there for stealing a horse? Isn't it just the same as obtaining money under false pretenses? Isn't it cheating the people? Sure it is, and yet it is something which the people have submitted to with a grace that is appalling.

Though the other members of his family were gloomy and grumpy at the supper table Saturday evening when they thought of the fine black bass they might have had before them. Joseph S. Wilson, the father, still stub bornly congratulated himself on the strength of his good principles. He had caught ten black bass, the smallest weighing almost two pounds, and had thrown every one of them back Into the water. What else could an honeS"t and conscientious fisherman do? And Wilson prides himself on being an honest and conscientious fisherman. It was the unusual way in which the Wilson hands caught the fish that troubled the Wilson conscience. The Wilson person was cutting ice for storage today and found the bass fast frozen In a large cake he brought to shore. He was puzzled at such a re markably successful imitation by nat ure of the most approved methods of scientific cold storage until he remem bered that a sudden thaw had followed the first formation of the Ice where he was cutting, and realized that the fish, swimming over the first layer of ice when it was flooded by the thaw, must have been caught by the second frost. Wilson thawed the fish out while he was debating what to do with them. Had he caught them with a rod and line, or even still fishing, he would have welcomed them as a prize. But his sportsmanlike soul revolted at the thought of taking advantage of such a mishap as catching frozen fish. So, with a sigh, as one fish after the other showed signs of returning life, Wilson threw them back into the water. Newton (N. J.) dispatch to New York Press. Goat Was Gasoline Torch. Billy, an old goat who has become a familiar figure to automoblllsts, who pass through Livingston, got himself on fire Sunday afternoon. Billy has been a chronic loafer about James Mendel's garage and repair shop and has acquired an ardent appetite for cast-off tires. This propensity has tempted him to nibble at tires on wheels, the result being that he has caused several explosions. About 3 p. m., Sunday ..an auto stopped at the garage and the chauffeur said he wanted gasoline. Billy began to snoop about the car. The driver kicked at the goat when Billy tried to chew a piece out of the mudguard. Billy dodged the kick. A few minutes afterward the chauffeur, who was .carrying gasoline from garage to auto in a pail, lost his temper and threw, the contents of the bucket squarely Into Billy s race. About a galloru.o gasoline covered the goat- 1 Evidently the gasoline entered Billy's eyes and made him wild. He made a rush for the chauffeur, but that man cleverly sidestepped. Billy, carried blindly on by. the force of his rush, struck full tilt against the brass hub of a wheel of the machine. There was a flash -of fire and the next mo ment the gasoline that covered Billy's coat was aflame. Alfred Schwartz the --repair man, says the smash of horns against brass struck fire and that caused the blaze. For ten minutes there was a hot time. Billy, a mass of fire, went dash ing about. Schwartz feared the goat would dive into the garage and set fire to that place. A crowd of boys buried Billy under a hail of big snow balls, and these put out the fire. New York Press. California's Versatility. j The Calif ornian claims the greatest valley in the world or the most beau tiful in the Yosemlte; the finest trout streams, the deepest and highest lakes, the most picturesque national parks, and, last, and by no means least, the finest climate, of all kinds and variety. If you say the climate is too "sun shiny," that there is too much pleasant weather, he will quote the fog record for 30 years. If you sigh for sleigh ing he has the record of Quincy, Plum as county, at his tongue's end, where the snow has been 40 feet on the lev el. Then the desert palm forests, the Muir woods of giant redwoods, the marine forests of kelp, the lake of tar 1.000,000 years old. where you can fish for saber-tooth tigers with a pick, and get tbem,too; the glaciers, the mis sions America's old ruins the cli mates. -suited to Ubanga or Eskimo; climates of all kinds continually on hand and produced while you wait.

Where are the biggest fruits, the greatest stretches of flowers, the most stupendous gold-producing mines? In California, beyond question. And there is so much of this true that one may as well surrender at once. Outing Magazine for February- Automobile Provision Wagons. A further application of the. motor wagon has just been adopted by the German war office here, which has de cided to reorganize the service of dis tributing the supply of provisions to the various barracks by using motor wagons, which are to be fitted with re frigerators. Complaints have been made frequently by the troops quartered in the region of Metz that the more dis tant forts were often badly supplied with food owing to the difficulty of transport during the winter. However, the new type of motor wagon alluded to will be specially used for supplying the outlying forts with fresh meat from the army slaughter houses in the vari ous towns, while it will also be used for carrying provisions' and general bag gage between the barracks in a town.

IBy Frances Fomeroy.J "The very fact that every one expects me to marry you," declared Clara Ad ams, is the main reason why I don't want to do It. It makes me furious -to have your parents and my parents de cide the whole matter for us." I am glad you feel that wav about it," Roger Armstrong declared heartily at least, the cunning doe succeeded well in assuming an appearance of great nearuness. "Of course. I was willing enough, and am now, to marry you to piease our people, but T don't want you against your will, you know." That's it exactly." assented the girL She did not, however, seem auite pleas ed. "Of course, we'll be very good friends and all that still, but we simply must show independence. Naturally, I'll be tremendously interested In the girl you marry and I'll try and see that you get the right one." And I'll be very much interested in your man," declared Roger. "I hope you 11 be as happy as I mean to be. I'm going to look for a nice, quiet little cottage on a nice, quiet little street." The girl looked distinctly displeased now, but she conquered herself bravely. J.e, too." echoed she. Another rea son why I hate to have them arrange for me to marry you is because I know they'd expect us. either to live In your father's place or in my father's home. l want a little place where there won't be a lot of servants and where I can go into the kitchen and cook myself without causing a miniature scandal. I mean to have a husband that's poor that is, not too poor and that has to work each day. And while he is gone during the day I'll fix everything nice and cozy and comfortable for him when he comes home tired out In the even ing." You've got the idea!" cried Roger somewhat excitedly. "Why don t you pick out the kind of a place that you want so that you 11 have It all ready when' you find the kind of man that you want? I'll tell you what we'll do: You pick out your prospective home and I'll pick out the kind of place I want for my wire. Then we'll compare them." All right," laughed the girl gayly, and ran from the lawn, where they had been talking, up the path to the big stone house where she lived. Pursuant to their plan, the young man met the girl the following after noon. "Did you find your home? he asked gayly. "Oh.'yes, I did," she cried. "It's the dearest little place Imaginable. I fell in love witn it at nrst sight. I can hardly wait for you to see it! And did you find your home, too?" "I certainly did," replied the man. "It's a dandy a cozy little place, back among the trees. Now all we need is the right man and the right girl. By the way, you may be interested I saw a girl this morning that looked to me as if she would make Just the right kind or a wife for me." Clara did not smile so much at this. "You aren't really thinking of mar rying herr she gasped. "Oh. I think so," the man replied, easily. "She looked very capable to me." "I hope you'll be satisfied with her, the girl said after a piqued little silence. "I know I shall be satisfied with my husband. He's mighty hand some." "What?" cried Roger. "You haven't gone and picked- out your; husband have you?" Clara demurely surveyed t -,Rogers countenance, wnicn aia not kwk quius so indifferent now, but betrayed de cided annoyance. "Yes," she replied. "I only realized today that he's the only man I want, Something something brought my feelings for him to a decision all of a sudden." -"Well. I never." ejaculated the man. a pained tone evident In his voice. "I I never suspected that you were really in love, Clara. Who who Is this man?" A bright light came into the girl's eyes as she surveyed ills perturbation, but, nevertheless, she laughed gayly. "I may tell you some time, she re plied, "but I'll not tell you now, for here we are almost at my house. Isn't it the dearest little place? See what a big veranda it has, and there's another big one in the rear, overlooking the sweetest old-fashioned garden." The man gazed at tne nouse once and at the girl two or three times. "Is this the house that you ve piCKea out?" he asked Anally. "Yes," said the girl. "Well,' see here," remonstrated he. "It's rather cool of you, you know. This is the very house that I picked out for myseir." Some few minutes later the man and the girl were seated on the rear veranda, rather close together. Yon say you won t give up tne house to my wife and me?" Roger "Silly." replied Clara- "Of course I'll not." "And naturally," went on the man, "I'll not give it up to you and your husband. Consequently, there's only one way out of it that I can- see." "What's that?" asked the girl, somewhat tremulously. v "Why, marry each other."- A slow flush spread over the girl's face. "But that's just what we don't want to do everyone expects, us to!" At that moment voices came to them from the Interior of the house. While they had been seated on the veranda some one had entered. Roger turned to the girl suddenly.. "It's our mothers," he. whispered. The girl nodded. "I'm so glad that we've secured the lease on this dear house, one of the voices said. "It's an ideal place for Clare and Roger to begin their lives together." The other voice assented.-then went on. "I'm so happy in their happiness." The voices trailed away as the speakers went into another room.) Suddenly Roger turned to the girl and putting his arm around her drew her "Dear," he said, "don't you think it would be a shame to bring sorrow to them and to us by not marrying each other?" Apparently the girl's answer was satisfactory, for a moment later neith er of them appeared as though sor row could ever toucn them. (Copy righted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.)

Lots of married people might study harmony without taking music lessons. When a girl tosses her head she should be sure the young man Is a good catch. Some fellows are so slow that they wouldn't even make successful pall bearers. You can't beat learning into a boy, in spite of the fact that a switch will make him start. A girl can easily twist a fellow around her finger, but the trouble is he gets broke so easily. Lots of people who are too wise to buv srreen e-onds or cold hriclra will sign a contract with a book agent. It isn't wise to try to make all your money in one venture, unless that ven ture is the marrying of an heiress.

Many self made men forget to make themselves agreeable. Death may love a shininir mark- but shining marks are scarce. Some people seem. to make a spe cialty of thinking only near-thoughts. The husband of a nasrglns- woman is apt to furnish most of the because. A bachelor is a man who thinks it wise to view matrimony from a dis tance. You can't reform a man by suggest ing that he aught to be as good as you are. An Ignorant man may acquire more wisdom than one who thinks he knows it all. It's easier for a woman to look as old as she is than to look as young as she feels. Our idea of a true philosopher is a man who is able to explain away his faults to the satisfaction of himself.

Commercial Club Campaign Starts With Tim. Over Two Hundred New Names Added to Bolls Today. J BARNES III-CHICAGO. Kansas Insurance Official Explains New State Law at a Conference. Chicago, April 2. Insurance Com missioner Barnes of Kansas being In the city the Are insurance managers took advantage of his presence to have a. conference with him on the new antl-discrlminatlon and rate-regulation law which is to go into effect in June. The law has been regarded by some a almost revolutionary, since It gives the Insurance commissioner a measure of control over rates, and there has been considerable anxiety as to th spirit in .which It would be adminis tered. Commissioner Barnes allayed this entirely by his statement so far as he Is concerned, and the chief criticism left to those who oppose the measure is that it would be a source of great danger in the hands of an unworthy official. Mr. Barnes outlined the condition of public sentiment and the trend of leg islation which led to the bill and point ed out. while it protected the public from extortionate rates the companies rained a great advantage in that their schedules were legalized and rebating and rate cutting forbidden by the anti-discrimination feature. He dwelt on the point that this was the first insur ance statute which gave the compan ies the right of appeal to the courts from the ruling of the department. He declared that he would enforce the law In absolute fairness to the public and the companies, recognizing the fact that the companies must get ade quate rates in order to furnish sound" protection. On the question as to whether the filing of similar schedules by a num ber of companies would be regarded as evidence of an Illegal combination, he said that as soon as a schedule was filed by a company It became the state rate, legalized by it, and it was entirely proper for as many companies as chose to file this official rate. TXXVT WANT TO BE A CITY. U. P. TO GET BUSY. Harrison Will Invade the Hill Ter ritory in Nebraska. Kansas City. Mo., April 2. Plans have, it Is stated, been perfected for improving the Union Pacific connec tions with St. Joseph and Kansas City and invading the territory in Nebraska now grldlroned by .Burlington lines. The contemplated plans will give the Union Pacific a much shorter and more direct line to St. Joseph, and shorten the distance between Kansas City and the Pacific coast 90 miles. These im provements include the completion of the Menoken-Marysville cutoff project ed two years ago; the building of a proposed new cutoff between Hastings, Neb., on the St. Joseph Grand Island and Kearney on the Union' Pacific's Omaha line to Cheyenne and the Pa cific coast. HARRIS FINALLY ACCEPTS Ex-Senator Takes Place as a K. S. A. C. Regent People Living West of Topeka Object 'to Being Incorporated. About two weeks ago, the board of county commissioners received a re quest from certain property owners in the district just west of the city, to have the district entered as a city of the third class. Today, another peti tion Is in the hands of the commis sioners, and this one is against any such move. The district in question adjoins the city, and is bounded as follows: Jewell street on the east. Seventeenth street on the south, McVicar avenue on the west and Oakley avenue on the north. Those who want to make a town out f this district desire to be in corporated under the name of "Euclid Park." f. S. Ferguson, a property owner in that district, hastily headed a posse of antl's. and started after the would be incorporators. Ha cites that the district is not worth it. and has no business being a town, as it contains no business interests except two small grocery stores. Over a hundred names are on the petition. The 'county commissioners are not sure what they will do about it, but be lieve they will let the property own ers fight It out among themselves. Col. W. A. Harris, of Lawrence, has at last publicly announced that he will accept the appointment as a regent of the state agricultural college at Man hattan, which place was tendered him last month by Governor Stubbs. It had been stated that Col. Harris would not accept the appointment, but his last declaration should set at rest all doubt In the matter. It might also be stated at this time that Bishop Li His, the Catholic bishop who was appointed a member of the state text book commission, will accept the place. END TO TRADE STAMPS. HAVE NOONDAY LUNCH Most Enthusiastic Gathering of Business Sen. Many New Faces Appear at the Rooms Today. New I jaw Causes Si, Paul Women to Raid the Store. St. Paul, April 2. Following the passage of a law making Issue of trad ing stamps illegal unless they bore on their face the actual value of the stamps, which practically ended the trading stamp business in Minnesota, several small runs have been made on the local trading stamp stores. Today 600 women gathered in front of one store in an attempt to get their books filled so they would be able to get prizes before the law became effective. The concern was unable to handle the crowd and police were called out to disperse It- ON 35 COUNTS. Indictment Is Returned Against Baltimore Office Clerk. Baltimore, April 2. The grand jury today returned an indictment contain ing 35 counts against William F. Downs, stock clerk of the city register's office, charging him with the larceny of $28, 580 of the city's money.

BUILDERS REHK0PF BROS. DEALERS 207208209 WEST SIXTH STREET Vehicles Built to Wear Not Repair Aa the result of four hours of stren uous work this morning, the Commer cial club membership committee add ed two hundred and ten new names to the club's membership rolls. This d the total membership to over five hundred, the largest in the history of the club, and also over half the much desired thousand mark. This morning thirty-five men work ed Topeka for new members. Some brought in thirty and forty new names, while others did not fare quite so well. More would have gone had not the weather been so threatening during the morning. Only one auto mobile was used this morning, but this afternoon the committee increased al most two fold and with a number of cars, is working the business section of the town and the thousand mark may be reached before nigntfall. The committee started out shortly after 8 o'clock this morning, after having met in the Commercial club rooms to complete the arrangements. During the noon hour the solicitors gathered in the cafe room of the club, where a sumptuous dinner was served and the reports of the soliciting com mittee received. At first reports, which were compiled as soon as din ner was completed, there were scarce ly 200 names, but later reports swelled the number to 210. It was certainly an enthusiastic gathering of business men that met today noon. There were in the neigh borhood of eighty business men at the unch and all were imbued with the one idea a live Commercial club, and a greater Topeka. The solicitors worked In pairs or trios all morning, and when each par ty would return it was the signal for a big demonstration that would rival a college football crowd. One bunch was attended by a big dinner bell, and rode up and down the elevator at the Commerce building ringing the bell and spreading enthusiasm throughout the entire building. Others acted in a manner just as enthusiastic. The committee which has charge of tne wortc and or which E. Copeland, or tne santa ire, is cnairman, is aa follows: E. I Copeland. J. C- Wilson, L. R. Manley, Robert Pierce, H. A. Heath, Frank P. MacLennan, F. R. Metzger, S. Jfi. lux, w. J. Richenbacher. F. C. Keat ing, E. B. Hepworth. William Macfer- ran. J. C. Emahizer. L. L. Adams, F. G.

Ohio. who has extensive real estate holdings In the city was present and paid his membership one year in advance. This was received with applause. Other local business men who had stood by and watched the frantic efforts of the club to get on its feet in previous years. without ever lending a hand were pres ent and put their names on the club's roster, with as much enthusiasm as the eld standbys. who had often despaired or having a large organization. L. E. Myers, vice president of the To- peaa street tauway company, was present and after the luncheon made a short address, complimenting the local business men on their successful work In reviving the organization. He also pledged the hearty co-operation of the street railway company. Mr. Copeland, who presided at the meeting, tried to have a few short toasts after the luncheon, but the men who are working today were too anxious to get out and work, so that the crowd ad' Journed. Frequently some member of the club would grow more enthusiastic and cry in a ioua voice tne new Topeka slogan "Topeka Kan; Topeka Will" which was always greeted with great ap plause. New Members.

There is no doubt It has been deter mined that there shall be an open vote In the house on a proposition to take all the duty off lumber and also on an amendment restoring hides to the dutiable list and the prevailing opinion is that both changes will be made.

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the University of Chicago, who attracted attention recently by a proph ecy that former President Roosevelt would never return alive from Africa, has again come Into public notice.

"It takes a young Mexican to per form the act graceiully. "He brings the tips of his fingers to gether, touches them gently with his lips, and spreading his hand out as he makes the throw, wafts five sweet kiss es to his lady love by five different routes.

Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, called at the of fice of the state railway board today and asked the secretary of the board for a date upon which he might appear before the board and present his case in regard to the abolishment of com mon drinking cups on passenger trains of this state. The board will grant the doctor a hearing but has not set set the date. It will be remembered that Dr. Crumbine has for some time advocated the plan of having individual drinking cups on the passenger trains of the state, claiming that the common drink ing cup was a breeder of disease. He wrote to the management of ail the Kansas railroads in regard to the mat ter, and at the meeting of the state board of health here this week it was decided that the common drinking cups should be abolished Sept, 1 of this year. Then came the state board of rail road commissioners in a letter to the Missouri Pacific relative to the pro-, posed order of the board of health and declared that the railway board, which hag authority over the railroads of the state, did not see the necessity of abolishing the common drinking cup from the trains, but rather thought that the cud should be retained for the convenience of passengers who might not have bought drinking cups a la board of health recommendation. The railroad board, however, interposed no oblection to passengers buying Individ ual cups nor the roads from placing them on sale on tneir trams ana in their deoots. Dr. Crumbine this morning while In the offices of the railroad board, spoke very decidedly, even emphatically, on the question of the necessity of abolishing common drinking cups from the trains. He declared that the com mon drinking cup was a menace to health and life and that fact should give the board of health order prece dence over the inconvenience plea of the railroad board. He said that the board of health had made a long and careful study of the matter and he was prepared to show the railroad board and prove to its satisfaction the dangers of the common drinking cup. Secretary Ed Shiner of the railroad board was polite but firm. Commis sioner Frank Ryan of the board was willing to give the doctor a hearing, so the controversy ended without lytood shed this time, but there is no telling what will happen at the next meeting. Dr. Crumbine is very much in earnest and Shiner seems determined to stand by his guns. libel Case Resumed. New York, April 2. Investigation of the Panama libel charge against the New York World was resumed before a federal grand jury today. The witnesses included Don C. Seitz, business manager of the World; Dumont Clark, vice president of the Press Publishing company, which publishes the World; N. G. Thwaites, secretary to Joseph Pulitzer, the pub lisher.

Attorney Edwin A. Austin received word this morning from the United States circuit of appeals at -St. Louis that the case argued by him for Shaw nee county against the Devlin estate for the recovery of a deposit of almost $30,000 had-been reversed and it was tlircted to-allow all claims of the coun ty and to pay dividends on same or dered to be paid in full. This is the satisfactory end of the case which was apparently, hopelessly lost to the county Judge Pollock had decided against the county and the board of county commissioners had given up the fighA. Mr. Austin, how ever, was still firm in his convictions and held that the county could collect front the estate. He went to the board of county commissioners and with their consent but without any advance fees of any kind or any fees at all if he lost, he worked on the case until through word received by wire today he won the suit. The history of the case runs back four years. The First National bank desiring to qualify itself to become a depository of the public moneys of Shawnee county made and delivered to the county its bond of depository under the law in the sum of $100,000 with Charles J. Devlin as one of the sureties. On the third day of July, 1905, the bank closed its doors by or der of the controller of the currency and its affairs were placed in the hands of a receiver. On that day the county had on deposit In the bank of sum of $32,731.05 for which amount the treasurer of the county made de mand on July 7, 1905 by drawing and presenting the check of the county to the receiver which demand was re fused. On the day before the presentation Of this check Charles J. Devlin being hopelessly insolvent filed his voluntary ONE WEEK MORE ON Parkhurst-Davis Salvage Sale The sale on these goods surprised us and the qual ity of them surprised our patrons.

On August 8,' 1905, Shawnee county filed its claim against the bankrupt es tate for the amount stated above which claim was presented to and al lowed by the referee October 19, 1905 subject to objections which might be filed' 'later. These objections were filed December 27, 1906. The objec tions stated that the trustees denied that the bankrupt estate was indebted to theamountof $32,731.05 and that the county had ample security for what ever amount was due. The trustees asked the court to set aside the temporary allowance of the claim. On the hearing in November of the following year it was shown that 82 per cent has been paid on claim by the receiver of the First National bank the principal on bond, and on the fol lowing March the claim for only $5, 891.59 was allowed being balance due after deducting payments by the re ceiver of the First National bank. Then the county claimed that the bank and Charles Devlin were co debtors to it for the amount of its deposits though between themselves Devlin was surety for the bank and that both principal and securely being Insolvent and their estates being ad ministered as such the county may prove the whole debt against the es tate of each and receive dividends from both upon whole debt until it is paid in full. Through the information received by Mr. Austin this morning the claim of the county Is allowed and the full amount with dividends will be al lowed. This decision will also result in the state collecting about $75,000 still due from the bank. Taft's First Pay Day. Washington, April 2.

Although Government Receipts for March Show an Increase. Washington, April 2. The monthly statement of the government receipts and expenditures for March shows a gratifying increase in the receipts both as to customs and internal revenue. While as a whole they do not equal those of the period just before the panic of 1907, the receipts from cus toms are within a million dollars of the figures for March of that year. The internal revenue reports are oyer two million dollars short of March, 1907- The expenditures continue to in crease, although they are considerably less than was anticipated one month ago when the Sixtieth congress ad journed. It is the experience of the treasury officials that closely following the end of a congress requisitions for large amounts are made to be charged to appropriations which were made immediately available.

There are two sides to everything, and this is the other side of the brick and stonemasons' argument with the local contractors. This statement was i iri vfn nut hv th lnnal 1nH?p at thp Bricklayers and Mason's International union. "The present trouble between the brick and stone masons and the con tractors is not a strike, as the public ia led to believe, but a lock-out, pure and simple. The contractors were no tified during the first week in Jan uary that the scale for the year com mencing April 1, 1909, would be 50 cents and 7 0 cents, thereby giving the contractors three months notice be fore submitting figures on. any and all work for the ensuing year, the same as has been done each year for the past 10 or 12 years. We further wish to set the public right on the question of a sympathetic strike on the part of the stone masons. The bricklayers and masons are affiliated and what is an injury to the bricklayers is an in jury to the stonemasons, and when the Contractors saw fit to lock out the bricklayers they unconsciously locked out the masons.: "The same scale was adopted by this union for 1908, but the contrac tors refused our demands although the public paid the scale but the brick layers did not get it. An out-of-town contractor figured on and secured a largo contract against all the home contractors, and was very agreeably surprised when informed the brick layers wages here was only 62 cents per hour. So the public has become quiet and used to paying 70 cents, only the 72 cent scale will be pass ed on to where it belongs this year. "The bricklayers have had a raise of 2 cents per hour during the past six yeara, while Atchison, Leaven worth, Iola, Wichita, x Coffeyville and other cities have paid 70 cents the past two or three years. So, the raise we have received during the past sev en years would not justify any con 1 tractor in taking refuge behind the proposition that if w are paid this raise the result will be a request for a further raise. "Alao, during fce past two years, bricklayers have corns in here from out of town and were paid 70 cents. while our home men were paid dux 62. There was a scarcity of brick layers during the past season, but con tractors coming here from outside and figuring against home contractors, secured contracts and brought out side men with them, paying them 70 cents. The job referred to is the St. Francis hospital.- On this job, the home bricklayers received but 62 cents. "So it is not justor fair tor brick layers of the town who are fully as competent as any bricklayers who ev er came from the outside, to be. placed at such a disadvantage. 1 "The bricklayers of this city are as a rule industrious and beside, each and every one of them owns his own home and pays taxes. So we are out for 70 cents, and then we are for To peka Kan and will get the raise. "Committee. "B. M. I. U. No. 3." Increase for Granite Cutters. Boston, April 2. An inrease of 11 cents an hour in the minimum wage for the general line of work is .the principal change in the new wage scale in the granite cutting industry in Boston, according to the terms of a two year agreement between manu facturers and operatives. This change will establish a new minimum day wage of $3.36. TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS. PhVasn. Anril 2. WHEAT Argentine exports for the week were larger than had been generally expected and this caused considerable selling of wheat at the open ing of the market here today, reaultingln initial declines, of. c to c. The market, however, received active support by commission houses and prices reached substantial gains early in the session.. The deferred futures displayed the greatest strength. Scarcity of cash grain partic ularly in the southwest, was one of the chief bullish factors. May opened at $1.19 to $1.19 and after touching $1.19, ad vanced to $1.19. July wheat opened at $1.07 to $1.07, sold up to $1.07. Renewed buying by leading bulls based mainly on the cash situation forced the price of all deliveries past the high record mark for the season established yesterday. The top for May was reached at $1.21. July advanced to $1.08. Some reaction occurred on profit taking but the close was firm with May up c at $1.20c. July closed c higher at $1.0S1.0S. CORN An improved demand for the cash -grain caused moderate strength in the corn market. Country offerings were light and local receipts were small. At the opening prices were a shade lower to a shade hieher. May being at 67c to 6767c, and July at 66c to 66c. Early in tne day May toucned ic, wnue juiy advanced to SVfec. The strength of wheat held the market firm all day. The close was firm with May up Viac at 6734c. OATS Although general sentiment in the oats pit was bearish the market dis played slight firmness eerfrly in the day owing to the strei.y'Ti of wheat and com. May opened unchanged at 54c and ad vanced to 56c. ,6 PROVISIONS Provisions were a trifle weak because of the bearish showing of the monthly statement of stocks in store here, particularly with reference to lard. Trade was quiet at the start. Prices at the opening were unchanged to 2c lower. CLOSE: HYE-Cash arid May, Sic. BARLEY Cash: 63(??69c. TIMOTHY April, $3.75. CLOVER-April. $9.K). Chicago Grain Market.

WHEAT Makincr of new prices in both May and July wheat yesterday created quite a belief on the part of the local traders that the market should have good reaction before going still higher. This was the feeling on the curb and in the offices this morning to some extent but the conditions which have advanced wheat to this level and have held it firm in the face of bear opposition are growing even more bullish day by day. iviuueraie reaction may oe due but we favor the buyine side of Jnlv wheat for much better advance than yet recorded. CORN We are up to the season now when much corn will be taken out by lake and disappear in eastern centers. Re ceipts are running very low.

Complaint From West Sixth Avenue Speedway. Because she refused to allow her husband to whip her children for throwing stones at the white neighbor children Mrs. Manuel, colored, for merly of Wlnfleld, but now of Topeka, has furnished a most unusual case of wife desertion wherein the husband leaves the wife taking four small children with him and establishes a home In another town the remark able innovation coming to the police for adjustment this morning. Although quite out of their line, there being no ordinance upon which to act In a case of wife aesertlon, the police nevertheless undertook to straighten out the affair and listened to the troubles of Mrs. Manuel when .he appeared two days ago asking tnat she De assisted in finding her deserting husband. She had come from Wlnfleld at the expense of the county which forwarded her on to Topeka when it was learned that her husband had some here. The man's name s. Thaddeus Manuel and she had information that he was In North Topeka. Investiga tion by Ihe officers ld to remarkable discoveries of the family propensities of Manuel altogether uncommon with the men of the shaded race. He had left his home and wife in W'inneld with four children bringing them to Topeka and making a home for them over near the tie treating plant where he secured employment. One of the children about 11 years old, is his sister, but the others 2. 4 and 6 years old respectively, belong also to his wife who came on in warm pur suit. Mrs. Manual was taken care of by Mrs. Thorp, police matron, for a day when she became ill and was sent to the colored Crlttenton home for care. Meanwhile the officers found the man dwelling with the children in North town and brought them all over to headquarters last night, heedless that There Is Something about the taste of O. K.

Gibb. the work was out of their bounds. They were all kept in the prison dur ing the night and the wife came In this morning. After several preliminary interviews with first the man. then the woman by the officers and Mrs. Thorp in which both expressed a willingness to be good to one aonther the two were finally brought to each other before their children for final instructions by Mrs. Thorp. But the baby was the only child who cared for mama, the three older ones preferring not to see her. The trouble between the couple arose partly because the wife would not show due consideration to the husband's little sister whom he was bound by duty to their dead par ents to keep and shelter, and partly because she would not consent to his punishing their children for throwing stones at some white children living nest iatir- to- their" "Wlnfleld home. Manual expressed himself as ready to accept his spouse into his newly founded home If she would promise to take care of all the children properly and she said she would do it. "The children seem to have been very well brought up," said Mrs. Thorp, "for they were well mannered, and last night kneeled down for their prayers before they went to bed. It is a remarkable case of fatherly respon sibility and the man Is to be com- i mended." t The reunited family trailed out of the station after the parting lecture on their way to the home In North Topeka apparently as though nothing had gone wrong. Louis Ransome the coal driver who tried to supplant the road rights held by a bread wagon lost in his trial in the police court. He was fined $10 for assaulting the baker and $3 costs for the proof. After so many experiences with the police business, Caleb Jackson of the Jungles has gotten wise to the tricks of the police court Jugglers and in tends to "siip one of his own over" before somebody else gets there with a wry frace and woebegone counte nance and starts one in his direction. Caleb has a warrant out for John Heitman, who did attack, beat and bruise him and call him flagrant names because he did not lend an Indian 50 cents with which to buy some whisky. Indians and a milkman named Lou Klein are expected to fur nish the testimony with Albert Ross, big Indian just released from the jail and a star boarder at Jackson's, for chief story 'teller. There is a hint at the station that John Heitman wanted Jackson to move out of his little house on the corner of First and Madison in order that he might erect a more imposing edifice on the building site, but how ever that may be, John undoubtedly did fly into the anatomy of Caleb last evening and Caleb intends to show how much he has gotten onto the ropes of police procedure by securing a warrant and getting several witness es subpoenaed. Still an Indian is an Indian and one may not depend upon what they say for they may never say it again. Old Albert freely told the sergeant .this morning where he bought all his booze but when taken before the Judge to repeat he denied ever buying any at all. Caleb and the jungle proprietor will have it out be fore night. A big red automobile flew along the West Sixth speedway this morning as the children were going to school and according to a report from a lady who happened to be looking from a win dow narrowly missed running over several of the group. The number of the machine could not be seen, but it must have been going thirty or-forty miles an hour. The incident occurred at the corner of Sixth and Clay out far enough so the scorchers do not fear the police. Wonder that many children are not killed by the flying cars. is the gist of any number of complaints which continue to come into the police station by phone and By letter. The big Indian is missing from Charles Holland's. He took a box of cigars with him and the cops are look ing for his trail with but poor success. The Indian was large and heavy, about seven feet tall, but he would not hurt anyone and was considered most harmless. Which way he went, I whether he took to the river or the bluffs or set off to join Crazy Snake has not been determined.

He Was Once Lieading Tenor In Kin ma Abbott's Opera Company. Chicago, April 2. William Castle, thirty years a tenor in Engjish grand opera, is dead. The passing of Castle recalls the earlier days of grand opera in Amer ica, when Patti and Parepa-Rosa and other famous stars were in the height of their fame. English by birth. Cas tle received his education in Philadel phia. For musical training he studied in New York, London and Milan. In the early '60's he assisted in organis ing the Campbell and Castle, grand opera company, with the late Theo dore Thomas as muste'al director. The company consisted, mainly of young American singers. "Although of excel lent material, the "company made no money and was not prepared to with stand the disastrous effect of Lin coln's assassination. Several years later Castle was lead ing tenor for Farepa-Rosa and subse quently for Clara Louise Kellogg and Emma Abbott. His tours with Emma Abbott will be recalled in the west, for in nearly every city visited, more par ticularly in Kansas City, the people sat up nights in order to find first choice of seats at the box office the next morning. Castle was the original in America of Paul in Victor Masse's "Paul and Vir ginia:" Romeo in Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" and other operas. He retired from the stage in 1891 and since then has been a teacher of music in Chi cago. NEW CATCHER ARRIVES., SchisscI Is the Latest Recruit to Tr Out Squad.

New York, April 2. Olive Logan, once famous in this country as an author, actress, and lecturer, is a pauper in an asylum at Bansted, Eng land, according to the World today. The news came out through Lady Cook (Tennessee Claflin), who sailed for London Saturday after spending sime time in this country. After reverses in this country dlive Logan went abroad, assisted by Lady Cook and it was supposed she- was leading a quiet retired life. What her real predicament was, however, is described by Lady Cook, who is quoted as saying before she sailed: "I was notified two months ago that she had become violently insane and that the authorities had removed her to Bansted. I returned to London and hastened to Bansted where the physicians told me that Mrs. Loean was suffering from a severe form of j senile dementia. They said she must be detained in the asylum unless I agreed to furnish bonds and other wise guarantee that she would not harm others or herself. It was im j possible for me to undertake such a responsibility and I decided it was best that she remain under treatment."

Tuttle who is chairman of the civic committee was the next to speak on the combined results of the civic committee and the Commercial club. Mr. Mills Speaks. Mrs. Tuttle was followed by Mr. W. W. Mills, president of the Commercial- club who gave a splendid talk on im proving and beautifying Topeka. The first suggestion was to offer three prizes fifty dollars for the first, thirty-five for the second, and fifteen for the third, for the three prettiest hark vards in town. Another idea that would prove beneficial would be to petition the council to pass an onu nance prohibiting cutting across the parkings. Mr. Mills also suggested a plan to instigate the boulevard system and to replace the arc lights that are on every other street corner with six in candescent lights to -every block. Probably the most appreciated sug gestion offered was the invitation ex tended by the Commercial club to the city federation to hold their meetings in the assembly room of the Commer cial club building. The invitation was accepted by the rising vote of thanks by the club mem. bers. To Improve, the grounds surround ing the three railroad stations was also under consideration, and instead of the tin cans and cinders that are most in evidence. Mr. Mills' idea was a pagoda covered with vines and shrubbery where the wearied traveler might spend a few restful moments, and when further on his journey To peka would appear as an oasis in these western plains. -r--.-- Dr. Sheldon Speaks. 1 The Rev. Dr. Charles Sheldon ,also talked on the lackof interest In the aesthetic Topeka. and the need of civic beauty. "God has done a -great deal for our town and man has done some, but not enough. In order to beautify the city we should begin with our own individual homes. If one resident in a block would improve the appearance of his property the neigh bors would follow suit. There are ihinn that we can do in dividually, but to improve the entire i.r no need the eo-oneration of all. Mr. Sheldon spoke strongly against the billboards he claims they not onlv disfigure the town but are de r,i!.irp. and should be eliminated i their nlaces should be the ,Hnea and elevating mottoes. Tnta Tfan: Topeka Will is the spirit that was manifested for the ad t the city. The after noon's programme was concluded by an impromptu aaarraa "j L Margaret Hill McCarter in which she thanked Mr. Mills and Dr. Sheldon for the interest they aispia-u m ,..,Hnr with the federation. Mrs McCarter urged the building of a club house, and inspired interest to build up a Chautauqua wnicu mu y pointed to with pride by the entire state. Mr. Ellis made a brief address on hehaif of the emanuel movement. Just leave it to the city federation of clubs and the Commercial ciuo ior Topeka to rival the beauties of Paris or Rio Janeiro.

Pettyjohn, Ralph Rohrer, Karl Bowman, Jack Bennett and Ted Ingham, The height of exquisite daintiness was reached in this lingerie turban In the popular spring shape. Its novelty cer tainly recommends it after the long years of sameness in this particular style of head-covering. The entire hat was covered by narrow ruffles of lace edging, three of these being sufficient for the narrow, drooping brim. Broad bands consisting of three strips of in sertion edged with lace ruffles ran from the center of thecrown to lose them selves beneath the narrow twist of blue liberty ribbon around the crown. They were fastened at the ends only and gave glimpses of the ruffled foundation be tween. Mrs. John J.

The model here given was developed in soft, white batiste. It is a one-piece garment with a narrow pane extending from the low round neck to the bottom of the skirt. This panel consists of bands of fine lace insertion and clusters of fine pin tucks. The material is laid in pleats over the shoulder and the space between these and the center panel was filled by dainty embroidery, the same forming the neck trimming, girdle and wide band at the skirt hem. The sleeves were tight-fitting and form ed entirely of tucks and lace. The high waisted skirt was laid in pleats ex tending far below the hip, this giving the fullness necessary to so thin a ma terial and yet maintaining the straight lines of the modish figure. Mrs. Earnest Tucker, 1280 Lane street, was hostess for an informal party Thursday afternoon.

Wat son of Plttsburgr the new advocate general, is not a toy soldier but rather is a battle scarred veteran of the Span ish and Philippine wars. He enlisted in the Fighting Twentieth and in one of the hottest fights of the Tagaiog campaign was shot through the body Just above the heart and carried to the hospital to die. Watson fooled the army surgeons by getting well and the first thing he did when he got on his feet again was to re-enlist, this time In the Fortieth volunteers. He had a leg shot off in the next campaign and returned to Kansas bearing his honors thick upon him. He is still carrying a Mauser bullet in his body and limps worse than Gen. Sickles of New TSork, but nevertheless he will be the bright and shining ornament of the Kansas governor's staff. The board of commissioners who have the work of erecting the new memorial building in charge will meet in Topeka about the middle of this month and select a site and make plans for the erection of the building. The bill providing for' this structure carries with it an appropriation of $15,000 with which to buy a site and $200,000 to be used to erect the building. Kansas materials as near as possible are to be used. The,, appropriation isj sufficient to insure a-! handsome' "piece of architecture. The war relics, state historical society collection and the Goss bird collection all go to form an exhibit'that will be worthy of the'new building. There has been some question of whether or not a suitable site could be secured facing the state house square for $15,000, but it is understood tha the corner on Jackson and Tenth street where the old school house stands Can be bought for $12,000. This site embraces four lots "with a depth of 125 feet, Later the state can con demn more land and add to these grounds. Dr. Crumbine's dream of individual drinking cups on passenger trains has been shattered by a mandate of the state railway board. General Manager Sullivan, of the Missouri Pacific, wiote the railway board after receiving com munications from Dr. Crumbine in re gard to abolishing drinking cups on its trains and the railway board, through its secretary, E. C. Shiner, replied to the Missouri Pacific official as follows: "Answering your letter in resrprd to communications from Dr. S. J. Crum bine, secretary of the state board of health, relative to the removal of drink ing cups from passenger trains operat ing in the state of Kansas, beg to ad vise you for reasons that seem to the board good, the board would disapprove of such action on the part of the Kan sas railroads. If It Is the desire of the companies to co-operate with the sec retary of board of health to the extent of providing 'penny-lnrthe-slot ma chines whereby those desiring to avail memsoivej 01 me use of individual cups for a price to be paid may do so; there could be no objection to such action on the part of the companies, but the board would not feel warranted in granting its permission for the removal of the common drinking cup thereby making w.uio,, i enner Duy an individ ual cup or go without a drink." According tr tha ktawk. papers me druggists of Kansas have decided to vTV i 7 proamnion law which for bids them from selling alcoholic stimu lants for mAf11r9l j -wcuuuu uia mecnan- ical purposes and Sumner county has "l? iTt 1 pice at which to tne sht,- ft s declared that as soon as the law .nn, i 4 cueuc ine druggists haye made arrangements tor JUU,BC ol oumner county to defy the law by issuing a druggisfs ia.iv. x ne new jaw abolishes permits. This will bring the ,Zi uirect issue at once. The druggists have employed some of the best legal talent in the state and will take the groui:d that the new law is unconstitutional. The attorney general's department and some of the lawyers of the last leelslntu,. v,i-j i law was within the constitution. The rr i ul UKBiy be settled until It is decided by the supreme court. Judge Buckman of Cowley county is still as devoted disciple of the-teachings and philosophy of Omar Khayyam as he ever was while in at tendance at the sessions of the last legislature when he poured the vials of his wrath upon the head of the State Journal reporter who misquoted nls quotation from the Persian poet on the occasion of the presentation speech the Judge made when the house gave a watch to Sneaker Dolley. Viiiiam Allen White went after the iu for m,saPPropriat!ng Khayyam and the reporter took up the white man's burden. Now comes the re porter for the Wlnfleld Courier and refers to Judge Buckman as follows: "It was an atmosphere of Omar Khayyam that greeted a Courier re porter who called at Judge Swarts office for court news Wednesday af ternoon. Judge Swarts and Judge Buckman were having an Omar feast, in which the others present only took the part of innocent bystanders. The wine press dripped its delicious juices, that potter's wheel turned out its pots of many chapes, the inverted bowl we call the sky shook down the empty glass when she reached the blissful spirit, the moving finger writ and then passed on, and in many other ways the soul shook the dust of carking care aside and mounted upward upon the air of heaven to ride. The reporter was unable to get anything as earthly as news out of that visit. Judge Swarts proved himself a master of the Persian poet's stuff, and quoted sev eral versions of the same verse as con tained in different editions." TARIFF EXHIBITS. Are Being Piled Tip In the House by Interested Members! CAN'T SEE HIS SONS. A Father Is Denied the Privilege After Crossing the Ocean. Cincinnati, April 2. By a ruling of United States Judge Thompson, Fried rich Karl Theis, a chemist of Ger many, was denied a look at his chil dren for which purpose he had cross ed the ocean. Theis and his -two sons were only separated from each other by the walla of the court room, but the judge's ruling prevented the father from see ing his children- Theis had sworn to a writ of habeas corpus to get possession of his two sons, who he alleged were being held in restraint by their mother, for merly Dora Schmidt, In the home of relatives In Cincinnati. The question of jurisdiction was raised by the at torney for the wife. Before the judge ruled on the motion dismissing the writ, Attorney Powell, for Theis,. asked the court to have Mrs. Theis and "the two boysu aged 7 and 9, brought into the court room. The court said he could not do so until he had determined whether or not he had jurisdiction. After the judge ruled that' he- could do nothing for Theis, Atorney Powell made a personal request to the brother of Mrs. Theis to plead with Tier to let Theis have one look at his two sons. The request was spurned and the two boys were taken away before the writ was dismissed. Mrs. Theis had obtained a divorce in the courts of Hamilton county and had been awarded the custody of the two boys, Friedrich, jr.,- and Hans. Theis did not know that his -wife had secured a divorce. Dora Schmidt Theis, who was born In the United States, went to Germany to study the language, and 'met and married Theis. VISIT IN COUPLES.

DON'T BE RABBITS. Dr. Cleveland Gives Some Advice to College Men. New York, April ,2. Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland of the bureau of munici pal research talked of clean and prac tical politics to the gathering of col lege men who came to the city as delegates to, the intercollegiate civic league and who will go to Wash ington today. The speech was deliver ed at a banquet at the Hotel Manhat tan last night. Robert Taft, elder son of the president, and' Elihu Root, Jr., both delegates, were among Dr. Cleve land's auditors. He said among other things: "When you ask me whether a col lege man should take an interest in politics you might as well ask whether ho should be a decent citizen. Our government can only be carried on through the pai ies, and parties are organizations inherently. I know a great many scholarly men who ab stain from mixing in politics on the theory that they ought not to have anything to do with organizations. Why, you can't run a prayer meeting without organization. "Don't be afraid of being discredit ed; don't be a trimmer. We have a college man in the White House now whd wouldn't budge an inch if he thought he was right, and his prede cessor, who wasn't always right in my opinion, although that doesn't change the popular estimate, wasn't afraid of being discredited."

Howe, of lifeorama moving picture fame will present his second engagement of the season in Topeka. Mr. Howe's pic tures have improved with every appear ance in Topeka and this time will see no exception to the rule. Motion pic tures of scenes in real life are taken from France, Russia, Italy, Egypt and Switzerland. There are also some com edy sketches interpolated to give vari ety. Perhaps some of the most inter esting views are those of a runaway train down a Swiss mountain side. The camera is placed in the forward car and It seems as though the train is really running away and that the track is ready to fly up at most any time. The views of Sicily taken immediately after the recent earthquake are decidedly in structive. Wilbur Wright's flying ma chine is depicted by Mr. Howe's mov ing pictures and forms one of the most enjoyable features of the entire bill. At the Majestic. Creo, at the Majestic theater still continues to baffle the spectators. Not one person has submitted a solution as to the method of her creation, which has come anywhere near claiming the reward which has been offered. Tonight and tomorrow will be the last oppor tunity to see her. The remainder of the Majestic bill is also worthy of note and comprises the following acts: Kikuda, a Japanese Juggler; Stephen Grattan Co., in an interesting sketch: Kimball Donovan, ban joists,; Glenn Waggoner, illustrated sollst; r and Majestiscope moving pictures. 5 At the Xovelty. The engament of the Readlck Stock company will be. concluded tomorrow night with the last performance of the Dumas masterpiece, "Monte Cristo." This is by far the best production staged by the Readick company during its pro longed Topeka engagement. The acting is good. The stage setting is far above anything seen here before by a reper toire company; and many costly gowns add charm to the production.

Placed on the New Concrete Re taining Wall. FINISHING TOUCHES. They Are Beiflg Placed on the Dike Wall Today. Arthur Scarlett Doesn't Like Lone Star State. A water gauge, with figures and let ters plain enough to be read from any part of Melan bridge, if not from a further distance, will be added as one of the features of the reinforced cement retaining wall which has been completed just west of Melan bridge. It will be In the form of an extension of the cement covering' of the slope of the dike above the wall. It will be a cement slab two feet wide and will be long enough to reach the top of the dike. The top of the retaining wall proper is twelve feeet from the river bed. and the cement slope is about the same height. This leaves about the same distance of dike earth uncovered and the slub of cement which will form the gauge will be easily seen for considerable distance. The cement which covers the dike slope is being laid in alternate slabs of six and three feet in width. The six feet slabs were laid first. The spaces of three feet between them will now be filled. This arrangement was made so as to allow a seam for ex pansion in frosty weather. If the cement had been laid in one solid piece, it is said that expansion would have caused the material to crack. Arthur Scarlet of the Central Sash Door company, who has just return ed from a business trip to Amarillo, Jn the Panhandle country of Texas, is anything' but complimentary in his remarks about that portion of the TrieToggery 602 Kansas Ave. Our Hats at $3, $3.50, $4, $S are different than shown by clothing stores.

However, he states that for a town of 6,000, Ama rillo was a very busy place. In speak ing of his impressions of his visit, Mr. Scarlet said: "You would have to blow up the ground with dynamite before you could raise anything on it. It is so tightly packed that an ordinary modern plow makes no impression on it. It is very sandy and when the wind blows oh, my! "Another thing that impressed me was the large number of cattle that had died during the winter. In some places I saw stacks of cattle as high as a room. "The country is a great place for cattle and horses, but I saw only one mule while I was there. Topeka, Kansas, is good enough for me."

She was well dressed and very digni fied as she came into a North Topeka store the other day. Her mother ac companied her and the two started on an inspection tour of everything in the Place, .finally they told the long suf fering clerk that they wanted to look at some shoes. "You get your shoes first, mama." said the girl, "while I look at these dress patterns." The arrangement was carried out. Finally the mother was fitted with footwear. The daughter was very particular about the kind of shoes she would buy and insisted on looking over the entire stock before she con sented to allow the clerk to try a pair on her little tootsies. When she was finally ready for the operation she' sat down on the bench and with an air of great resignation, stretched out her foot on the stool. Then as the clerk started to unlace the shoe she was wearing, she blushed, and quickly slip ping her foot on the floor, she arose to her feet. ."Pardon me," she said. "I have de cided that I do not care to try any shoes today, but you have a nice line and I will be in again. With a motion to her surprised moth er, the girl started to leave, then with a half embarrassed and apologetic smile she said over her shoulder to the as tonished clerk: 'I have, well, I am not ready, that is, I am not exactly prepared to try on shoes today, but thank you for your irouDie. Then she whispered to her mother. The clerks heard the latter say to her daughter as the women left the store: 'The next time before you come to try on shoes, you see to it that there are no holes in your stockings."

Perhaps you may not have heard about it but the next city election will take place next Tuesday. A whole set of city officials are to be elected or re-elected as the case may be from mayor down. Judging from the enthusiastic appreciation accorded the play last night it is in order to congratulate Topeka and Washburn for harboring such a dramatic club and so good a coa'ch as Miss Lincoln. The working efficiency of Topeka's new slogan "Topeka Kan; Topeka Will" is receiving its first real test today in the Commercial club's cam paign for a thousand members. And it is a pretty stiff tes for the first try out. Members of the Topeka Commercial club are wearing big placards in the bands of their hats bearing the in scription Topeka Kan; Topeka Will, hoping to enthuse the Topeka spirit delinquents into joining the club and getting a tin horn. The Ben Greet players who were seen at the Grand this afternoon, to gether with the Russian Symphony orchestra will leave early this evening for Colorado Springs. This is the rea son the show was, booked for only one performance this'' afternoon's mat inee. The remarkable adaptibility of the policeman to the adjustment of any trouble whatsoever has been duly exemplified in the restoration of a family unity by the intercessions with Thaddius Manuel to once more accept his wife following from Winfield into his home of four children. Isaac Silberstein, field secretary of the National Jewish Hospital for Con sumptives, is in Topeka enlisting aid in the cause which he represents. Mr. Silberstein says that seventy-five per cent of the casfs of tuberculosis treated at his hospital last year were cured while in the remaining cases the disease was arrested. Because no peculiar whistles of swiftly incoming trains over the Southwestern railway were heard in Topeka yesterday and today it is quite likely that the company will lose the $30,000 bonds voted it by the people, and other things included. There is a suspicion that the great Topeka Southwestern was a sort of "Crazy Snake" affair furnishing lots of dope. ALL FOR ONE DOLLAR. Repeated a Chanter From the Bible From Last to First. Chicago, April 2. "Learn a whole chapter from the Bible so that you can say it backward and I'll give you a dollar, mother," said Edward Field of Austin recently when he learned that a ladies' aid society had ar ranged an experience social to for ward its missionary work. "Done," said his mother, Mrs. Maria Field. "I'll begin at once," and last night at the "social she was the heroine of the hour, as she reeled off verse after verse backward. "The Show Girl" Well Received at Grand Last Night. WERE MANY STARS." Amateur Performers Show Pro fessional Style. A Good Crowd' Witnessed Wash burn Actors. Watch For Our display ad of Aransas Pass in this paper. Wharton Abbott. No. 1 Mul vane building. f W $3.50 OXFORDS 'For Every Occasion WO. OOaK KAH.AV. It 'was the opinion of all who wit nessed "The Show Girl" by the Wash burn Dramatic club at the Grand last night that it was by far the best play ever presented by this popular club. The play itself w better, the direct ting was polished and the players en tered into it with a spirit and vim that made the real value of the young blood felt. Raymond K. Ufford. Who Took a leading Part in. "The Show Girl" Last Aight. '"The Show Girl' is a play in four acts dealing with the circus. A circus rider is injured and carried to the home of a nearby minister who cares for her until she is well and then falU in love with her. The feeling is mutual but on account of adverse sentiment among the members of the minister's congregation the girl finally tears her self away from the surroundings and goes back to the circus and her old lover. But she finds the old life re pulsive and at the appearance of the minister she falls into his arms and goes back to his home with him this time as a wife. Miss Hazel Larkfn as Polly, the show girl and circus rider, took the most prominent part among the girls. Miss Larkin is a stunning girl off the stage and has created sensation after sensa tion at Wasb,burnrand In Topeka for the last four years. On the stage last night she was still more popular. Her part was exceedingly difficult especial ly in the climax when she ran from th3 stage in. a fit of passion over her forced love for the circus. This was undoubt edly the most intricate feature of th play and Miss Larkin carried it out professionally. All the way through the performance ?he acted naturally and gracefully without a hitch of any kind and at all times attracting tn admiration of the audience with her natural beauty and cleverness. This is the last time Miss Larkin will appear before a Topeka audience and it is the best and cleanest cut piece of acting she has ever given. Mr. Ray Ufford, as the minister, starred among the men in the piay. He was in every act, every scene and his lines- were arduous nnd involved but his impression last night was one of the big features of the play. To be a minister, a lover, a sensation among his friends and a frenzied wronged man all at the time requires a little more than average amateur experience and Ufford carried them all, without the least sign of a burden to the audi ence. Ufford took' the leading part in "The College Widow" presented not long ago at the Grand and at this time he starred and made good in a very difficult part but last night his duties were heavier and his rendition was even better. Ufford graduates from Washburn this year also from the dramatic club. He has always been a valuable addition to both He entered the dramatic club his first- vear in the college and he has finished a really brilliant career, his acting of the high est type for an amateur and his man ner on the stage furbished in every detail. Miss Eleanor Sims as Mandy Jones, the old colored lady, comes in for one of the blue ribbons. She took the part with an uncommon ability for a col lege actress and she received a large amount of the complimentary ap plause. Miss Sims made good in To peka with the Washburn Opera com pany for two years and the Dramatic club acquired her this year she has made a valuable member of the club. The Washburn Dramatic club could not be possible without "Skeet" Adams. His very appearance on the stage last night drew applause from the audi ence. Adams has been in high school plays long before he came to Wash burn and with the four years in Wash burn as a finishing touch to his high school days he has proved an idol with the Topeka audiences. Adams had a part last night that demanded very little talking but lots of acting and with his natural ability as a "fly about" on the amateur stage he drew a big part of the good will of the crowd. Adams is another graduate this year and he will leave a big gap for the dramatic club to fill. To play the part of a circus "tuff" and still enter into the deeper and more pathetic side of human interests with the ability to bring tears into the eyes of the listeners is a task that re quires extraordinary talent with a col lege man who receives nothing but honor for his services. Mr. Hal Hotchkiss as Jim of the circus and in love with Polly made a loud noise like a professional in "The Show Girl" last night. He carried out his part in ex cellent style. The above mentioned were probably the biggest hits of the evening. They are all older members of the club and they take to the plays as a matter of course. Mr. Lee Mooney as the colored Hasty Jones, of the minister's household brought out a good many amusing features. Mooney is one ov the- strongholds of the club having been with them for the last two years. Lee Johnson made his first appearance with: a Washburn com pany. He -has been 'best man" at the high school and judging from fcia ac tions last night he promises to regain the reputation. David Ferguson as the barker and manager of the circus is another "man of the hour." He has always made good with the club and he sustains his past record. Miss Yetta Conklin, Hulda Chapin and Rebecca Welty are all new with, the W. D. C. They have shown talent In other college functions and they gave signs of future popularity along dra matic lines last night.. All three girls are very popular co-eds at the col lege. Roy George as the doctor did not have a" very weighty part but he managed the play last night and the woes and duties of an amateur should hold him exempt from the play itself.
