Theodore Roosevelt was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the Duke nd Duchess of Aosta upon his arrival at Naples on his way to Africa. Ker mit Roosevelt was also at the dinner.

He Is due at1 Mombasa April 21. On going on board the Admiral, Mr. Roosevelt thanked the head of the Neapolitan police. Chevalier Calabresi, for the excellent protection afforded Mm during his May on shore. Mr. Roosevelt was accompanied everywhere by the chief. During an audience with the mayor of Naples, this official conveyed to Mr. Roosevelt a special vote of the muni cipal council, thanking the former president and the American people for the succor sent from the United States to the earthquake sufferers. Mr. Roose velt expressed his appreciation of this communication. He said there should be no question of gratitude. The earth quake gave the American people an op portunity to show their sympathy In this unparalleled disaster which had made Italy at once the creditor of the "Whole world. Waited for the Mail. Mr. Roosevelt boarded the Admiral nt 10 o'clock last night. He spent some time In the smoking room conversing with his fellow passengers. The de parture of the Admiral was delayed by waiting for the arrival of the German malls for South Africa. The train ar rived at midnight, the malls were hur ried on board the Admiral and the steamer left port at once. Mr. Roosevelt will leave the Admiral for a short visit to the ruins of Mes sina. He found on board the steamer, Bignor Tulncheri, the prefect of Mes sina, who by order of Premier Gioletti came up to Naples to accompany Mr. Itoosevelt on his inspection of the city. As the Admiral steamed out of the Itulf of Naples many of the craft in Bight were illuminated in his honor. Another passenger on board the Ad miral is F. C. Zelous. the English auth or and big game hunter. Mr. Zelous Is an old friend of Mr. Roosevelt's and was given a cordial welcome. The Siunter said he would be happy to join Mr. Roosevelt In big game shooting in the neighborhood or JNadrobi and Mr. Itoosevelt expressed his satisfaction at this promise of his company, and the benefit of his experienc Tlie T- in .pics. Mr. Roosevelt spen several hours In Naples, and during that time was driven many evidences of his personal popularity with the Italian people and of the admiration which they have for his distinguished services to his coun try. He met various official delegations t the Hotel Excelsior, where apart ments had been reserved for him, scores of prominent Americans and the representatives of other countries and to them all he expressed his warmest thanks for the welcome which he had received. He visited the Duke and iDuchess of Aosta at Capodimonte and later dined in private at the hotel, go ing on board the Admiral about 10 o'clock In the evening. The Admiral, j which will convey Mr. Roosevelt to Mombasa, was ready to sail at mid night. Emperor William, showed great in terest in the former president. The Ger man consul general in the name of the emperor carried to Mr. Roosevelt the warmest greetings, and a letter in which the emperor expressed the hope that he would see Mr. Roosevelt in Ber lin on his return. In reply to this Mr. Iloosevelt toid the consul general to in form the emperor that he would cer tainly go to the German capital and "would tell his majesty "how the white man can live and fight in Africa." Will See the Pope. The emperor closed his letter with "Weidmasheil" "Hail to the success ful huntsman." Mr. Roosevelt was touched by this and in expressing thanks for the gracious thought, he aid: "In a year from now you will be in a position to see whether I deserve such a wish. A letter was received by Mr. Roose velt during the afternoon from a prominent American prelate, who late ly was in Rome. The writer stated that he had gained the impression that the Vatican would have great pleasure in receiving Mr. Roosevelt because of the admiration and high esteem in which he was held there. Later Mr. Roosevelt told the American ambassador that he should assuredly go to the "Vatican to see the pope If he visited Rome. Three hours elapsed between the arrival of the Hamburg and the land ing the ex-president as Mr. Roosevelt wished personally to superintend the handling of the baggage, of which he had a very large quantity. Meanwhile he was the object of a continual ova tion from Italian emigrants, who broke out into cheers every time they caught a glimpse of him, from the moment the Hamburg dropped anchor. As the vessel steamed into the harbor, craft of all kinds ran up their bunting. The bands on various ships struck up the American national anthem and as Mr. Roosevelt stood on the bridge and watched the scene, he re marked that it was somewhat ear splitting, but picturesque and mag nificent. Tho great crowd ashore which had been waiting for hours to see the- former president became ex ceedingly impatient at the delay, but even when the Scorpion's launch, with Mr. Roosevelt aboard did come ashore, they were ignorant of the fact and the distinguished visitor reached the land ing stage practically undiscovered. When, however, he appeared in an automobile and proceeded to the Hotel Excelsior a great roar broke from the crowd and he was cheered con tinuously all along the route. The ovation moved Mr. Roosevelt to re mark: "It seems that the Italians can make as much noise .as the Americans, after an. Receives at Hotel. Arrived at the hotel the ex-presi dent received with the greatest cor- aianty tne Americans and foreigners who had gathered here to welcome him. Lunch was served at the hotel. The party was a merry one, frequent outbursts of laughter being heard as Mr. Kooseveit described some of his adventures aboard ship. He seemed to be in the best of health and spirits. Following the lunch, Mr. Roosevelt proceeded in a motor car with Am bassador Griscom to meet the Duke and Duchess of Aosta at their palace, the duke representing King Victor Emmanuel. Mr. Roosevelt was warmly wel comed at the palace entrance and the duke received him in private, the two conversing at great length. Later Mr. Roosevelt was presented to the Duchess of Aosta, and they conversed) trgether for some twenty minutes, their conversation dealing almost en tirely with hunting in Africa. The good impression was mutual, as, while Mr. Roosevelt was charmed with the duchess, the latter said after his departure that the ex-president was the most Interesting American she had ever met she might also say, the most interesting man. The party after leaving the palace proceeded to the museum, where Mr. Roosevelt said he would have liked to spend hours. But the time was short and they went di rect to their Pompeiian room. The bronzes particularly attracted him. Cheered Along the Way. In accordance with Roosevelt's de sire the party made the trip to Posi lipio, and the ex-president was recog nized and cheered all along the way. They sat in the balcony of one of the characteristic Neapolitan restaurants overhanging the sea. The sunset was magnificent. Mr. Roosevelt was en chanted and remarked that he had not looked upon this scene for 22 years. It was his wedding trip then, and he could only wish that Mrs. Roosevelt might see it as it was today. While his father was at Capodi monte. Kermit Roosevelt took the op portunity to visit many points of in terest. Mr. Roosevelt desires it to be known especially in the United States and England that he received in Naples several thousand letters and telegrams, but not having a secretary at his dis poasl. that it was a Dhvsical imtios- sibility for him to repK- to these. He wishes to thank all the senders for their kind thoughtfulness. Returning from Capodimonte. the ex-presiaent received the civic author ities at the hotel. ine ainner at tne notel was of a strictly private nature after which Mr. Roosevelt about 10 o'clock boarded the Admiral. He was accompanied by Ambassador Griscom and Lieutenant Commander Belknap, who will go to Messina with him. French View of Roosevelt. Paris. April 6.

The Third ward politicians stripped for the most bitter political fight the ward has known in years The prediction is made by the party chiefs that nearly 75 per cent of the registered vote of 406,000 will be cast.

Carruth assistant chancellor of the University of Kansas, Republican is opposing S. D. Bishop, an independent Democrat for mayor. As Lawrence is a college town, the Bishop followers have made a hard fight against Car ruth declaring that he is in favor of tv,.ia closing the students' boarding houses, and that he will not allow the residents or J.onn wr to have either chickens or pige. Prof. Carruth denies these charges. Kansas City. Mo., is voting on an extension of the city limits. Saloons Are an Issue. t Anril 6. In local option ,t".t- hein'e held today, in Cass ryi-r counties, the "wets' r-laim the victory with confidence. Logansport is the seat of Cass county and the Business Men's association has taken a hand against the anti-saloon interests. There is a large foreign population in Blackford county, of which Hart ford City is the seat. Both Cass and Blackford counties gave Democratic minorities in the last state election. The Democratic cam paign was largely made In opposition to county option. Whisky an Issue at Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs. April 6.

At Colorado Springs this means the sale of liquor by drug stores, as saloons have never existed in. the city. At Grand Junction the fight has been very bitter, and charges of pad ded registration have been followed by a number of arrests. In Pueblo a local option fight is being made in five of the eight wards,- three of which are admitted will go "dry." THE WEATHER IS COLDER. The Mercury Takes a Slide This Afternon, The corn and wheat7 bulletin for the past 24 hours, shows some remarkable differences in temperatures within the state, indicating an. unsettled condition. The station at Dresden reports a maxi mum temperature of 50 and a mini mum of 30 the only freezing point re corded in the state.. Compared with this, Toronto, Kan., reports 86 for the maximum and 58 for the minimum. Topeka struck a good average, the fig ures being 69 maximum and 50 mini mum. Toronto also reports an inch and seven one-hundreths of rain, which is tne only rainfall worthy of note in the whole state for the period. At this writing, Topeka is still dry, but it may rain before this paper is exposed to the weather. The temperature has changed materially since noon, and it is growing colder but as the voters do not seem to care much about election anyway, a little weather more or less will not change the results at the polls, A little snow was reported from the extreme northwestern part of the state early this morning, but it is not liable to penetrate this far into the interior. The local weather doctor opines that the temperature will drop to a point adjacent to freezing tonight, and that the coolness will discouraee any stray rain which might have chosen this as a Bghting place. The wind is blowing 14 miles an hour from the west. Hourly temperatures today 7 o'clock 50 8 o'clock 51 9 o'clock ...56 10 o'clock.. 55 11 o'clock.. 55 12 o'clock.. 50 1 o'clock.. 46 2 o'clock.. 47 STUBBS ON WAY HOME. Governor Will Arrive In Topeka .Wednesday. Governor Stubbs left Washington last night and it is expeeted that he will arrive in Topeka some time Wed nesday. The governor will bring with him a copy of the opinion of the at torney general setting forth the reas ons why the national banks of the state were 3fused permission by the government to participate in the guar anty of deposits scheme. This decision is accepted philosophically by the of ficials at the state house. It was a big question to decide and Is a matter for the legislative rather than the Judicial or executive departments to pass upon. The Kansas fight has made bank guaranty a national issue and the peo ple of the country at large can pass upon It in the next campaign. Had Kansas secured a favorable ruling In this matter it would have been equiva lent to letting down the bars for all the national banks of the country and granting privileges heretofore not granted except by act of congress. It Is confidently expected -mai me national banks of the state will adopt some effective plan to insure deposit?. and that few of them win denation alize on account or the new guaranty law. jkv BLACK HAND ARREST. A Miner Is Caught While Trying to Extort Money. McAlester, Okla., April 6. Joe Landi, a miner, was arrested at Harts horn, near here, today charged with being a member of the Black Hand organization and with, trying to extort $1,000 from J. H. Baker, vice presi dent of the First State bank of Harts horn. The banker recently received a let ter demanding that the money-be left at an isolated railroad crossing late last night. A decoy package was placed at the spot indicated and when Landi appeared officers arrested him. Landi was brought here today. In McAlester three Italians have been arrested charged with dynamit ing a store here in an effort to extort money from the proprietor. BANKS COMING IN. Commissioner DoUey Says 100 Have Said Tliey Would Join Guaranty. Bank Commissioner Dolley, speak ing today of the Kansas bank guaranty law, stated that he had received as surance from one hundred state banks that they would join the guar anty association as soon as it was formed or thereafter as quickly as they could arrange their affairs. There are 777 state banks in Kan sas and it is expected that the ma jority of these will take advantage of the law which allows them to offer state guaranty of deposits. The bank ers are coming into the association cheerfully and in a good spirit. Mr. Dolley spoke with pleasure of the support he was receiving from the banks in the beginning of the trial of the new guaranty law.. DETROIT AT ST. MARYS.

Mayor Green Easily Leading Op ponent for Re-Election. II E MEETS OPPOSITION Rumor Druggists Are Helping Democratic Candidate. Majority of Republican Candi dates Hare a Walkaway. It looks as though the vote in the city election over the different pre cincts of the city today would be light but not as light as has been predict ed. Mayor William Green, H- G. Lar imer, A. W. Greenwood and a State Journal reporter made a tour of the city today, visiting all of the different ward3 and their precincts and the vote In each place was light but could have been much lighter. From the present outlook with but one exception -that of G. V. Adamson for councilman from the Second ward the entire Republican ticket will be elected at the Topeka election today. There are a number of very hard fights and in some cases there is a slight fear being felt by the members of the Republican city central com mittee but this fear does not approach the Slough of Despond. From the totals at two o'clock this afternoon the indications are that there will be less than two-thirds vote cast today or about eight thousand. The registration for this city election is 13,068. In some of the precincts the voters are coming in much faster than at the primaries in the case of the Fifth precinct of the Second ward, the vote at eleven o'clock this morning was three times as large as the total at noon in the primaries. Practically no trouble is being ex perienced at the voting booths. The police are watching every voting place with vigilance and there are none of tne oia time election signs appearing to mar the peacefulness of the elec- tion. ln tne colored districts the mo men are turning out much faster than in the other districts in fact they are turning out faster in proportion than their husbands. Tangle Over a Vote. There is an election law tangle that is causing the officials and Judges no end of trouble. In one case in one precinct of a certain ward this morn ing a man came to vote whose house had been moved but three days, ago and, he was staylne at one of the hotels temporarily. He came to his poll and the matter was taken up with mj '-rrtuun commissioner who refused, to allow him to vote. He swore in his vote, however, and it was challenged uy me juuges. considerable ill feeling will be caused over this matter. H. G. Larimer said this morning that the election commissioner had no rleht whatever to govern the actions of a. voter after he had turned over the registration books to the Judges in charge of the precinct. Mr. Larimer stated very emphatically that the auties or an election commissioner were to register the man who wished to vote and after that he knew noth ing of him one way or the other. In this-one case the gentleman and his family which will mean five votes was registered in due form and his name was on the books Just as he had registered legal in every manner. But it was known that his house had been moved and there was nothing else to do. Mayor Green was disnleased over this part of the law. He said if a man should own three lots and while he was having his house repaired he should move into the next number the vote would be valid according t the number on the registration books. mere unaouDteaiy are many flaws in the election laws to be smoothed over and the city is finding them this year. Green Leading Easily. The vote for mavor of th r-ttv io favoring William Green in every re spect. The Democrats were reported to have gained a big following but of this is the case they are going to rush them into the polls the last minute. In one precinct today out of 134 otes cast there were only four Democrats and they signified their intention of scratching to the bystanders. it is a well known fact that Mayor Green made a large number of enemies during his fight for clean city government. The druggists, it is claimed, forming against him. The theater men and most of the grocery men are holding private seances with the Democrats. Then the victims of the usual city ordinances prohibiting the use of intoxicating liquor to an un limited extentare all with the Demo crats. This combination is strong among themselves only. Mayor Green said this morning that he did not ex pect to stand anywhere near the head of his ticket as to the votes gained. The Democrats with their Republican allies are cutting into the majority. But it is simply a question of majority because there is no chance in the world for the election of Mr. Logan for mayor on the Democratic ticket. Favorable to Republh-ans. C. B. Burge for city clerk is ex pected to stand at the head of his ticket in the plurality 'vote..' His opponent is a Democrat and he will only get his party vote. W. C. Ralston for city attorney, J. D. Pattison for city treasurer, S. S. Urmy for police! Judge, E. R. Simon for Judge of the court of Topeka, R. M. Lee for clerk of the court of Topeka are all on the safe side. Mr. Ralston has as an opponent Assistant County Attorney W. E. Atchison who has been recom mended by County Attorney Schenck. This is a good recommendation and speaks well for the Democratic can didate but it is useless to try to de feat the primary nominee. The fight for marshal of the city court is going to be Just close enough to make Captain Wlntrode, the present incumbent, feel as though he had been in a race. Tim Donovan, the Democrat, is claiming all of the votes cast against Mr. Wintrode at the primaries when the totals were scattered on account of the number of candidates. A man who holds an office for a large num ber of years naturally incorporates a series of enemies year after year and I strong friends that Tim Donovan ex- I pec t s to win. The cry against Wintrode bv the Democrats is that he has held the office long enough and he has a pension on which to live Tim Dono van Is supposed to need the money and the position. However, with aU of the detriments, the Republicans feel as though they will win the office for the old captain. Looks Like Lannan. The fight for councilman in the" Sec ond ward is Dractically conceded to J. J. Lannan by the Republicans. Lannan is a Democrat but he is one of the strongest councilmen who ever held a desk 4n the city council chamber. His opponent, C. V. Adamson, is a good man but he has not had the experi ence, say the Democrats.- It is a hard fight but a good natured one. .The Democrats admit that Adamson is a good man" but Lannan Is better. The Republicans admit that Lannan is a good man but they are working for Adamson. Another councilman fight has made itself apparent in the last few days this Is between William Van Ness, a councilman at the present time and a Democrat. D. B. Fink. Van Ness is one of the quietest men In the city council, but he is very popular among the North aiders and his head work is always good In their favor. His op ponent D. B. Fink, is a great "mixer" according to the "dope" and he makes an Impression in a few minutes where Mr. Van Ness spends a month. In other words, the First ward council man has a "spell binder" to work against. From the reports this morning and afternoon. Mr. Van Ness was in the lead if the party vote can be depended upon. Mrs, C J. Evans running for a member of the school board from the Third ward is assured this position. The sentiment was for her completely in her ward this morning. She has undoubtedly won her fight. The wo men have been working hard for her in the campaign but up until 2 o'clock this afternoon they were scarce at the polls. However, Mrs. Evans has a strong "pull" with the stronger sex. Voting In Fifth Ward. The very latest reports just before the State Journal goes to press gives th votine honors to the second pre cinct of the Fifth ward. There is no fight here to command a big vote but the party organizations are good and the people are enthusiastic. The city officials and the party city commit top to all nraisiner the people- of the second of the Fifth. The blue ribbon will be tied, to this district. The other heavy polling places are fourth precinct of the First ward, fnnrh of the Third, fourth of the the fifth of the Second. The new law states that the polls shall be open until 7 o'clock this even ing. This has postponed the voting of the working class of the city, it is expected that the big rush will occur tonight after tne snops erase mr mc day. KIRKPATR1CK IS DEAD.

Two Persons Killed, Many Hurt and Damage of 9150,000. Marion, 111.. April 6. Two persons were killed, many others were hurt and considerable property was dam aged by a tornado which struck this city and its vicinity early today. The deaths occurred in Pittsburg, a village six miles northeast or nere, tne vic tims being crushed in the collapse of their homes. So far as can be learned they were the only fatalities. The storm came from the southwest and was preceded and followed by heavy rains. It was 5:30 o'clock when the "twister" struck here and few per sons were on the streets. In the busi ness section several stores were part ly demolished and in the residence section many of the small homes oc cupied by miners and their families were unroofed. As the -storm passed across the country it ripped open barns and other farm buildings ana men apparency spent its force on Pittsburg. Flying debris wrecked store fronts there and uprooted trees, crashed upon dwel lings, one of which collapsed and caused two deaths. The monetary loss occasioned Dy me storm is estimated at J150.000. In Marion, the JiMwaras mm was unroofed, the ice plant damaged and tne A. F. White business college, Marion State and Trust bank, Holli day grocery building and a number of offices were partly blown down.

AMENDMENT NO. I Provision for a Countervailing Dnty on Lumber Is Stricken from the Tariff Bill by a Large Tote. TO PUT HIDES BACK. Scott of Kansas Tries to Restore Dingley Schedule. Miller Will Strive for a Duty on Barley. Washington, April 6. The house' today overwhelmingly adopted the Fordney amendment to the Payne tar Iff bill, striking out the provision for a countervailing duty on lumber. With the senate not In session, in terest at the capitol today centered In the proceedings of the house. Gen eral debate on the Payne tariff bill having been closed by the adoption yesterday of the special order report- ed by the committee on rules the dis cussion hinged on amendments to the bill under the five minute rule. When the house adjourned yester day there was pending an amendment by Mr. Fordney of Michigan, remov ing the countervailing duty on lum ber. Representative Tawney of Min nesota, was expected to present a resolution seeking to place lumber on tne free list. Scott's Amendment. An amendment to the paragraph on hides was prepared by Representative Scott of Kansas. The amendment will restore the phraseology of the Ding ley law and provide for a duty of 10 per cent advalorem. ine rate in tne present law is 15 per cent. A close vote is expected, but with the assist- ance of a few .Democratic votes those who are urging the change claim they can carry the amendment. Should it fail of adoption, it is prob able an amendment making the duty five per cent will be offered. The Payne bill places hides on tne free list. The effort to have a duty of 25 per cent on barley and to -restore the Dingley rate of 45 cents per bushel on barley malt will b shaped Into an amendment which will be offered by Representative Miller or Kansas. The amendment to the oil schedule will be put to the committee of the whole by the chairman. It provides that the countervailing duty clause shall be stricken out and a duty of 25 per cent ad valorem on crude and re- UI1CU h VI' 1.11' ..1 will make the average duty on refined petroleum one cent per gallon and about one-half a cent on the crude. The present provision makes the rate average between four and six cents per gallon. House In a SnarL When the house opened today a par liamentary snarl was at once encount ered as to whether or not amend ments would be permitted under the ptila QAntflilostnlgv Tl. TiM n f n,oa raised by Minority Leader Clark. A number of members were Immediately on their feet endeavoring to put their construction upon the rule and to al lay the Impending excitement. The chair had the rule read for informa tion. Messrs. Fitzgerald of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, both on the committee on rules contendnil that individual amendments under the rule could be offered. The Republican members of thi ways and means committee met at 10 o'clock to consider further amend ments to the Payne bill. The duties on pig ironr and scrap Iron and the reciprocity clause of the coal sched ules are the principal Items regarding which the .committee is being urged, to make changes. The paper schedule is also under consideration for amende roent. A countervailing duty, such as th one voted down today in respect to the lumber schedule, is a duty which, would be-equivalent to any import or export duty placed on lumber by any foreign country.' In other words If an article or commodity was on the free list in- this country, and the counter vailing principle prevailed, and there was an export or import tax on this article or commodity imposed by France, for example, then the same sized duty would be levied on such ar ticle or commodity as might be im ported to- this country from France. Then again if the United States tariff on any article or commodity was low er than that fixed by a foreign coun try, the duty would be raised until it was equal to that placed upon it by the. foreign country but only as it re lated to the dealings in such thing from that country, and hot from all countries. A countervailing duty Is in reality a retaliatory duty. FIFTY MILES A DAY. Walked From Chicago to New York In a Month. Chicago. April 6. Walking on an average of fifty miles a day, George Kufer. a New York pedestrian has ar rived here from New York, and plans leaving immediately on a return hike. Kufer made the trip to win a purse offered by the Shamrock Athletic club of New York. He covered the dis tance in sixty days, thirty days of ac tual walking time, and is apparently in good condition.

WISE INVESTMENTS Hare Swelled His Wealth to Eighty-Eight Thousand. His Business in Kansas City Requires Entire Time. Kansas City, April fc-If John O. Kllng, considered by many to be the best catcher baseball has ever pro duced adhere faithfully to hi. firmly .vowed determination to pass up the game, he will be one of the very few Clonal pastimers of great merit and me who have quit the sport while at the aenlth of their Playing power Every winter the PPf" a" u" f stories of star players who have play ed their last season. But John K11 n says that it's none of the "farewell tour" game- in his. If. simply a. little thing of business witn John K a little matter of heap in up the golden coin a bit fator Sin he cmJT ee the pile grow while -wearing a mask and wind pad Many are the tales of ball players who nave business interests to require the?r attention sufficiently to keep them out of baseball, especially when said baseball pays them Juicy thou sands, but these tales usually flourish la winter and die away as the spring approaches. John Kllng is an excep UoET According to Kline's own u figures helsorth in the neighborhood of WO. And he's made It all himself. Srtlmat that In the x years be has averaged a 8&Jng of Ooo a year from his baseball salary. There's a sum of $18,000 In savings from six years of national retiming. KMng has $50,000 tied up in two bil liard halls In this city, and he says that in the last three years be has made at least $16,000 In the b"ard business. Five years ago Kllng txmght a 60-acre tract of ground Just outside the city limits here. He paid $6,000 for the tract. Today the city Is figuring on extending the limits beyond KUng-s John values the 60 acres at $30,000. He has other real estate which he values at J8.000. Here's a table that Kllng himself arranged: Billiard halas 62,22! Other city real estate Fifty-acre farm ao.oro Total 88-000 Kllng has been seriously considering the passing up of professional base ball ever since his return from the last world's series. Several months ago Kllng leased the second, third, fourth and fifth floors of the Houston building on Walnut street, right in the heart of the business district. He sunk a lot of money in improvements, and put in an elegant billiard hall on the second floor. He has the figure to show that the rent from the other three floors will be sufficient to give him his billiard hall rent free and $150 a month to boot Kllng has worked up an excellent billiard business In this place, a business that he figures will make him $150,000 in 10 years. And that Is the reason he has decided to cut out the baseball. He desires to stay here, keep his trade going in the summer and watch the shekels come .In. It was along about Christmas last that John began seriously to figure on remaining here. In letters to Johnny Evers and Bteinfeldt he said he prob ably had winged his last pill to them. Last Saturday John reached his de cision. Ha Is done with professional basebalL If the proposed City league Is organized Kllng will captain the Missouri Athletic club nine. Sunday ball will be played. John will catch, and he say he haa m hankering desire to Jo some pitching. So Kansas City fans may have the opportunity to see one of the greatest backstops In the history of baseball In a new position on the rubber. John says he has a lot of fancy shoots. "But what If the Cube should hit a bad slump, and their pennant chances he slipping awayf a friend asked ECMng. "What If you could pull your old club out of the bole by again don ning the glove and the mask, wouldn't you go backf No, Blr.-naid Kllng, with a nod of his head and a faint hint of a belying emUe; "if s a matter of business. Why, I've already bet two suits of clothes and several hats that I won't play ball with Chicago this year. I might go hack next year I don't know about that but I'm going to stay out this year. This position here looks mighty good to me, and I'm going to give It a try." "But suppose the Chicago manage ment should make you a big offer, suppose they should offer you a bigger salary to play ball," persisted the in terviewer, "wouldn't you get back in the game then?" "I have no kick to make about my salary and I like Murphy and Frank Chance. Both are good fellows. Oh, of course, if they should offer me money enough, I'd consider It. I'd be crasy If I didn't.

Comlskey'g Second Tram to Meet Locals at Association Park. Another exhibition rame of interest is the one tomorrow, when Comiskev's second team will play the Tooeka team on the local grounds. This is not the team which will figure in the American league championship, but there are some of the regulars among the number. Two of the pitchers, Nick Altroek and Doc White, will be seen at the local park. Altroek will probably be given chance to pitch a part of the game, and White would be a welcome eight on the mound. At any rate Nick is a clever coach, and can spring some of the funniest stunts ever seen on a diamond. He will en act some of these specialties even if he does not work on the mound. Oc casionally Nick takes a turn at first. Fred Olmstead who Ditched for the Springfield team in the Western asso ciation for two or three seasons, is with this aggregation and may. take a chance at the locals. Olmstead used to be fruit for the Topeka team which by the way was the onlv one who could defeat him. Last season he was with Des Moines in the Western league. With the team are two catchers Payne and Shaw. The twirlers any one of whom may work against To- eka are: Lange, White, Olmstead, ockard. Spencer, Altroek and Man uel. Manuel was here last year, but sat In the grandstand nursing a sore foot. The Infield is composed of Beall. Bader, Zeldr and Purtell. Ba- der is really an outfielder and played with Des Moines last season. In the outfield are Welday. Flannagan and Dalton. Welday is well known in these parts, having been with the Sedalia and Joplin teams for several seasons. He was with Minneapolis in 1908. The following is the probable lineup as given to the- State Journal: Wel day, left field; Zeider, shortstop; Beall, first base; Purtell, third base; Flan nagan, center field; Dalton, right field; Bader, second base; Shaw or Payne, catcher, and one of the eight pitchers. Louis comlskey, a son or tne "Oia Roman," Is with the team looking after the finances. HAGERMAN MARKS GOOD. Topeka Youth Joins Cubs and Wins First Game With Ease. Z. Z. Hagerman, the Topeka star of last season, has finally seen fit to join the Chicago Cubs, having reported at Atlanta one day last week. Hager man had been pitching ball in Cuba all last winter and was in proper con dition to go right in and work. His first engagement was with the. Atlanta Southern league last Saturday. He pitched the entire game and held the Georgians to six scatered hits which netted but two runs. Four of the hits were scratches and all were singles. In addition Hagerman fielded his posi tion in superb shape, handling seven chances without an error. But list, the greatest surprise is yet to come. Rip cracked out a single driving in a run. The Chicago Record-Herald war correspondent at Atlanta contributes the following: Performing In his initial role as a member of the world's- championship cast, Mr. Zerat Zequiel Hagerman, elongated slab artist, thrashed the At lanta crackers in the getaway sketch today by the score of 6 to 2. The sen sation of the Western association had about everything which keen-eyed scouts had ever discovered on the To peka patch and Smith's sluggers were choked off with six measly singles. Hagerman handled seven chances and tore off a single. 'Twas a gay premier for Chelita, as he was known in Havana. WICHITA BEAT DETROIT. Game Was a Slugging Match Wllletts Two Home Runs. Wichita. April Detroit won a slug ging game from Wichita by a score of 15 to 7. Detroit batters made three home runs, two being secured by Pitcher Wil letts.

Sporting News of the Day Condensed Into Small Paragraphs. Walter Quetsser is getting away in great shape at Memphis, where he is considered one of the most promising men in the Southern league. Matticks, the Pueblo recruit with the White Sox ia being eagerly watch ed by a number of minor league clubs which would like to land him. Mat ticks was a great hitter In the Western last season. Fisher, the Omaha outfielder, is still about twenty pounds overweight and is having his troubles in getting rid of the superfluous. Smith, who is trying out at abort for the Omaha team, is doing pretty well with his fielding but can't hit much. Tip O'Neill's umpires for this sea son are: Haskell, Dugan, Mullen and Clark. Of these Haskell is the dean and Is the best known of the outfit. Haskell has been in the Western for several years. George Hughes', the Wichita second sacker, Is the best looking of Hol land's recruits according to advices from those who have seen him in ac tion. He was third In stolen bases in the Three Eye circuit last season, hav ing forty-six to his credit. He was se cured in a trade for Milsap. Not a bad trade, that. The Sioux City Journal puts a crimp in the press notices which Lovett of Denver Is receiving. The Journal says that last season he showed himself to be very commonplace. Manager Holmes has announced that he will carry both Koepping and Cruikshank for the coming season. The Packer chief nearly lost the pen nant through injuries last season, and does not propose to be caught the same way this year. The only positions on the Sioux City club for which there will be contests are in the box and behind the bat. The pitching staff will be picked from Freeman, EeHs. Alderman, Starr, From, Melter, Jacobson and Taylor. Towne. Shea, Clapper and Vance are the backstop candidates. Thus far Harry White has refused to join the Denver team. Sioux City Journal: The addition of Topeka and Wichita to the Western league circuit will mean a slight In crease in the mileage of the clubs this season. The schedule makers at the Lincoln meeting did not dig very deep ly into the question of the number of miles to be traveled by each club, and none of the magnates at the close of the session were able to throw any light on this important subject. The Sioux City club this year will travel about 8.500 miles, according to an estimate made by Secretary Tom Fairweather. The number of miles covered by the other seven clubs will not vary much from these figures. Manager Holmes' men have about two bad jumps which will make a hole in the receipts, but on the whole the schedule is free from expensive and lone trips. The Western league clubs to fill their championship dates during 1909 will have to go over a distance of about 68.000 miles, which means a COMMON SENSE Leads most intelligent people to use only medfidines of known composition.

National league clubs will travel 90,856, and American league clubs A 5,? 2 8. Last season the Western league schedule, which was drawn by "White Wings" Tebeau, gave much the better of it to the Denver club. The Grizzlies traveled almost 1,000 miles less than any of the other five clubs. Cruikshank is the last of the Sioux City squad to report. Cruikshank is in splendid condition. He hails from Waterloo in the Central association where he starred last season. Swift, the pitcher, who was secured by Pueblo from St. Louis, has report ed and if there is anything in a name he ought to have a little smoke to say the least. President Tip O'Neill has made a startling discovery which augurs ill for Western league clubs. In the new rules adopted by the National asso ciation coincident upon the creation of the A. A. class the drafting rules were altered. It now apears that there Is a joker which will permit of any amount of drafting from the Western league whereas before only one player could be drafted from each club. Two of the Denver new players have Joined the team within the past few days at different Kansas points. Stankard, the shortstop arrived from Springfield, Mass., and reported at St. Joseph, while Maag landed at Olathe. Stankard will have to go some to beat Hallman, who is playing shortstop. Pueblo will not get to see Walters, the new second baseman until about Friday. Walters wants to vote today and will leave his home in St. Louis tomorrow. The Webb City team of the W. A. is working out at Iola. A new man is in charge this season, Reniker, a south paw flinger. Ducky Holmes of the Sioux City, once made a record which it is be lieved has been unparalleled in base ball history. While playing center field for the Chicago White Sox, he once threw four men out at the plate in one game. There are now enough plavers on hand at Sioux City to start two teams to work. Ducky has his Regulars and Yarmigans, and on off dates he has a game between the two. Washburn college wants a game with the White Sox for Friday after noon. It is not known yet whether the team will oppose each other or not. Including himself, Dick Cooley has now twenty-one players working out at the local park. Keeping that many men during the spring season is no small item of expense. Danberry springs something new every day. His latest is some new posts protruding above the fence which show the dividing line between fair and foul territory. The Lincoln team also has a Pitcher Hendrix. The Lincoln man, however. Is Claude, while Topeka's pitcher is ftnoaay. It took the fans several days to get wise to the ringing of the gong during the game by Danberry. Dan does that so the score boy out in right field will know how many to mark up. Dan berry has some more things he will spring in a few days. Pitcher Harry Gaspar, of Waterloo, whom Manager Holmes tried to land last season, but failed owing to Cin cinnati buying him. is proving to be mighty popular with the Reds and seems assured of a steady- job with the club. His work against the veteran big leaguers has stamped him as one of the nerviest youngsters who has broken into the big show in years.

April 6. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Coolidge has approved a plan for systematizing de signs for the United States notes and coin certificates, thus securing uni formity in portrait and general de sign. It is believed the new notes when put in circulation will be welcomed by the public on account of their simplic ity and the readiness with which dif ferent denominations may be fixed in mind. At present there are 19 differ ent designs for United States notes, and coin certificates, of various de nominations, leading to confusion and uncertainty. Under the new plan there will be but nine. The one dollar silver certificate will carry the portrait of Washington; the two dollar silver certificate the por trait of Jefferson; the five dollar note, whether silver certificate or greenback, will carry the portrait of Lincoln; the ten dollar gold and silver certificate and United States note, that of Cleve land; the twenty dollar note that of Jackson; the fifty dollar note that of Grant; the one hundred dollar note that of Franklin: the five hundred dollar note that of Salmon P.

It provides that Chinese may no longer adopt foreign citizen ship, and it declares that Chinese, wha in the past have become the subjects or citizens of other states, are still Chinese. Many Chinese are affected by this ruling, especially those who have registered at HongKong as Brit ish subjects, as are a number of high Chinese officials at home and abroad. RA1LR0AD NEWS. Central Eranch Improvements to Start Immediately. Engineers Are Ordered to Oat line Betterment Program. ALSO 0MA1IA DIVISION Ties and New Rails Are Being Shipped Out on These Lines. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. In Atchison, Kan., April 6. J. R. Leighty. engineer of Missouri Pacific maintenance of way, has ordered Di vision Engineer Paul Gentlne and J. R. Emerson to make preparations for extensive improvements on the tracks of Omaha and Central Branch di visions. Mr. Gentine has charge of the Central Branch and Mr. Emerson has charge of the Omaha, division. As soon as men and teams can be found, the work of widening the road bed and cuts of each of these two di visions will be started. This work will be preparatory to the task of placing new ballast on the entire mileage. It has been intimated that after the roadbed of each division has been widened and the new ballast placed, new and heavier rails will be put down. On the Omaha division about $18,000 will be expended every month until the track improvement is com pleted. On the Central Branch about $10,000 will be expended monthly. The indications are that the tracks of both the Central Branch and the Omaha divisions are to be improved to an extent that will render them as good, if not better than any other tracks in the state. Only a few days ago, E. A. Gould, general superintend ent of the Missouri Pacific, received word from New Tork that three and a half million dollars were at his dis posal for the improvement of the Mis souri Pacific tracks in Kansas. This appropriation explains the readiness of the company to improve the tracks of the Central Branch and Omaha di visions. In addition to the improvement of the tracks, general improvements are being instituted by the Missouri Pa cific. At New York recently $25,000,000 worth of Missouri Pacific improve ment bonds were voted. A part of this appropriation will pay for the building of the new Central Branch shops at Atchison this summer. A great improvement has already been made to the two divisions out of Atchison. On the north end of the Omaha division fifty or sixty miles of new and heavier steel rails have been laid. Superintendent DeBernardi says the Central Branch is in a better con dition than usual and Is in as good condition as any other branch line of similar importance. During the past six months an enormous number of ties have been place on this line, andJ east of Concordia the drainage nas been greatly improved by widening of the cuts. The ditches on the Lenora branch have been cleaned and drained. The highway crossings, have been repaired in the Downs district. From all appearances this is to be an era of improvement on the Missouri Pacific property. The company has told the state board of railroad com missioners that all of the company earnings in Kansas will be used in re pairs and improvements until the Mis souri Pacific lines in this state have been brought up to a high standard. Every day several carloads of ties for the Missouri Pacific pass through Atchison. Several days ago there were 200 carloads of these ties on the tracks between Kansas City and Atchison. The work of rebuilding the main line between Kansas City and Pueblo started about April 1st. EXTEND DOUBLE TRACK. U. P. May Lay Another Track From Topeka to Manhattan. Manhattan, Kan., April 6. There is possibility that the Union Paclfio will double-track its line through Manhattan soon. A gang of bridge men from Junction City, equipped with a big pile driver, are at work on the Union Pacific bridge across the Blue river at the foot of Poyntz ave nue, making some alterations that will require several weeks work. The purpose is to widen the bridge suf ficiently to accommodate a double track. To do this it will be necessary to first construct a temporary pile bridge to Eupport the track while the Nervous "I suffered so with Nervous Prostration that I thought there was no use trying to get well. A friend recommended Dr. Miles Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself re covering, and am to-day well." MRS. D. I. JONES, 5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O. Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach di gest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac cording to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money. Plan for Summer Comfort Don't add the heat of a kitchen1 fire to the sufficient discomfort of hot weather.

While railway employes discuss the matter with extreme caution, they admit that the bridge Is being widen ed for no other purpose than to ac commodate a double track and it seems probable that the much dis cussed plan of- double tracking the road from Topeka to Junction City Is soon to be carried out. W. O. Dunn, the local agent, says that the bridge extension is not being made to accom modate a side track and that a double track from Topeka to Junction City will undoubtedly be built some day, but he said no orders had been given out regarding the improvement and he would go no farther than to say that it would be made within the next ten or fifteen years. SANTA FK WIXS CASE. Is a Preferred Creditor of Devlin Estate for $57,000. Washington, April 6.

The newspapers of Paris show genuine alarm here at the violent character of the speeches de livered at the workmen's meeting held Jn this city yesterday under the au spices of the revolutionary organiza tion to formulate a plan of organiza tion against the government. They refer particularly to the agreement of a large section of the state employes to make common cause with the trades unionists and the appointment of a secret committee empowered to call strikes. Public opinion is rapidly becoming terrified, the papers declare, at the belief that a bloody insurrection is Imminent, and the statements of some of the speakers that the proletariat would neither fight nor work in the event of a war is regarded as a par ticularly alarming prediction.

BACK TO THE KITCHEN. Domestic Worked Fifty Years for Annual Salary of $100. New Brunswick, N. J., April 6. Mary Grogan has resumed ner duties as cook. For one day she was the honored head of the family of Abial Price of South River, near here. The occasion was the fiftieth anniversary of her employment which in this day of household complexities and servant problems was considered such a mar vel and such a record of fidelity that the Prices made the day one of grate ful celebration. Friends of Mary Grogan and friends of the Prices came from far and near. The house was beautifully decorated and the Riverside orchestra of the village made music while gifts and praises were showered on the old cook. From 4 until 7 o'clock a banquet was served and Mary, with eyes dimmed with tears or joy, sat beside Mr. Price. Members of the family vied with each other in paying her courtesies and everybody made it a point to pas3 her something out of the many delicacies which loaded the table. A cake. adorned with fifty candles, and sup porting two small Irish flags glistened in the center of the board, and hang ing on the wall were old dish pans and bread pans that Mary has used in days gone by. Mary Grogan came to the Price family on April 5.1859, and asked for $100 a year as wages. She entered the household under these terms and has never had a raise nor a vacation since, and but very few days off. She has never visited New York since the Civil war. Although 82 years old, Mary is still in good health and is still the cook. The Prices, however, consider her one of the family and dearer than most relatives. TRIED FOUR PLANS.

Many New Buildings Are to Be Erected at Kensington. MAY SUCCEED REEDER. Postmaster Stereos of Goodland Has Congressional Bee. Lincoln County Promises a Mag nificent Yield of Wheat. Almena Is making a stir to hold a fair next fall. A successful fair is held annually in Norton county, at Norton, the county seat. If this town succeeds then that county will have two fairs. Kensington is having a big building boom, thanks to the fires which burned down several frame buildings, includ ing some old shacks. Foundations have been completed for the erection of half a dozen cement and brick business biuldings, and as many more will be erected during the year. There is something doing all the time in HiU City. The ladies have or ganized a civic club, and they have gone to work. They will distribute, free, flower seeds, and when the roses bloom the club will give a flower show and award premiums for the prettiest bouquets grown from the seeds the club furnished. A Postmistress for Goodland. That wasn't an April fool Joke, the turning over of the Goodland postoffice to Mrs. Gertrude Stevens, April 1, for ine term or four years. Rev. J. Ed Stevens, the husband, has been post master of Goodland for two terms. With the aid of his wife, the affairs of the office have been so satisfactory to tne patrons, that a change was thought unnecessary, and Congressman Reeder rjaa the appointment made. Besides making a good government orncial Rev. Mr. Stevens delivers an interest ing sermon, makes an entertaining lec ture on most any subject, and is a politician and political speaker of force. There are surmises why he quit the postoffice; one rumor Is that lie wants to give more attention to the Christian church of which he Is a devout mem ber, and another is that he wants to give more attention to politics. He has had aspirations to reach congress, and at one time his candidacy was an nounced in the Sixth district papers. He will make good whatever he at tempts. It is claimed that in the 40 years Lincoln county has been growing wheat there never was such a prospect for a crop as is now promised. The wheat raisers express it In this way: "The wheat fields of Lincoln county are now vast billows of green, and present about as handsome a sight as it is possible for any agricultural county to produce. The weather so far has been the kind to cause the plants to stool out well and cover the ground. Most of the wheat grown in Sherman county is sown in the spring. The wheat raisers of that county will this spring sow the largest acreage in the history of the county. The ground is in first-class shape, with more mois ture than has been known for many years. There is no doubt at this time but Sherman county will raise her bumper crops this year. Plainvllle a Busy Little City. Plainville, Rooks county, one of the busiest traoe centers in northwest Kan sas, won out in her efforts to secure the Methodist church conference. In 1910. Oakley people own 20 automobiles. The town has about 800 inhabitants. Gove City Republican of Age. The Gove City Republican-Gazette commenced its twenty-first vear of pub lication last week. A. K. Trimmer, the editor and publisher, celebrates the event by adding a linotype machine and other material. Almena has forged to the front so rapidly that W. R. Dodge, one of her hotel men. Is going to build a three story hotel this summer. It Is said the new building will contain no less than 100 rooms. This town is one of the northwest Kansas trade centers which is doing something all the time. The Hili City New Era has suggest ed to the business interests of the town, "Get together acd work with all might tor HiU uity, and in passing asks: "if a house divided against itself can not stand how can a town with a di vision sentiment prosper." The article goes on and po:nts out several plain and unvarnished enterprises Hill City can get, and ought to have, and with a strong pull and a pull altogether the town can secure. The article favors the organization of a business men's commercial club at once, to then go after things. Wardic White refers to the office of the Phillipsburg Dispatch as "his par lors." His paper, of eight pages, is all home print, and is printed on first-class paper, and every letter shows up. He is a gooa printer, a newsy paragrapher, ana ne is maiung nis journal a suc cess. Colby Land Office Discontinued. The government land office at Colby has been closed and the records moved to Topeka. Since this office has been in existence it has been lo cated In Kirwin, Oberlin, Wakeeney and Colby. When the office was first opened in Colby it took four clerks be sides the register and receiver to do the work. When the office closed one clerk could do all the work and have some spare time. Those were busy days, too. When the land office was opened in Oberlin, the writer of this Item was a visitor to Oberlin early af ter the office was thrown open for business. There was only one hotel in the town, and that night the landlady said she was sleeping no less than 125 men and women who had came to Oberlin to homestead claims in the land district. And it was an interest ing sight to see the long line of peo ple in front of the land office two and three hours before the office opened, awaiting their turn. The politicians made and unmade in these several land offices, if written out, would fill several wagon boxes. The last regis ter in the Colby office is Tom Hiskey, appointed to fill the unexpired term of John Thomas, who located in Gooding, Idaho, and engaged in bank ing, and the last receiver was Chas. C Evans, who owns large farming in terests in Sheridan and Sherman counties. Norton County Hog a Prize Winner Warren Wilson, one of th prosper ous farmers and stock men of Nor ton county, recently shipped his re maining 585 head of sheep to the Chi cago market and they averaged 85 pounds each. Mr. Wilson fed over 3.000 head of sheep the past winter. He is also a large hog raiser as well, one of his hogs took the first prize at the Royal stock show ?fn Kansas City recently. r S' The Goodland Republic predicts that the Rock Island railroad will in the near future make Goodland a passenger division t as weU as a freight division, and that, the super intendents office will be moved from Colorado Springs to Goodland. The Republic also notes that the railroad company is contemplating big im provements in Goodland including the erection of a three Btory brick building to. be occupied exclusively by the company wnen tne cnanges are made. The Belolt Gazete heads an item as follows: "Money to Burn," and then goes on to say that there Is $366,504.52 more in the Mitchell county banks at this time than there was two years ago. In March last the three banks in Beloit had a deposit aggregating Jl. 056. 274, and the total amount in the banks in the county aggregate $1,818,- 24S.38. A similar accounting of the bank deposits of two years ago shows a total of $1,446,739.06. NEWTON AND SANTA FE AGREE City Will Furnish Railway Company With Water for Engines. Newton. Kan.. April 6. The terms of a new water contract between the city of Newton and the Santa Fe com pany have been agreed upon, and the mayor and city clerk duly authorized to execute the city's part of the agree ment. The price for the next five years after the present contract ex pires is to be 5 cents for 1,000 gal lons. This price is the result of a compromise, the city asking six cents and the company thinking five cents enough. The present contract runs until the coming rail, tne price being four cents. Thus It will be seen that under the new contract the city will be away "to the good" on the water used by the Santa Fe, while the com pany will still De getting tne Dest water on its system at a great deal less than the average price paid at other points. WHEAT SHORTAGE CLOSES MILL. Operations Suspended Indefinitely as There Is Nothing to Grind. Salina. Kan., April 6. The Lee War ren mill has suspended operations in definitely owing to the scarcity or wheat. Wnen the mill shut down, Manager Warren announced that he would wait to see whether or not he could find any more wheat before start ing up again. The mill has on hand enough wheat to last about 40 days, but it is three months until the new crop will be on the market. Two other mills are still running, but they, too. are short of wheat and may be com pelled to suspend operations before the new crop is tnresnea. mere is duc tie wheat in the country, and what lit tle there is Is being held by farmers for $1.50 prices.

A woman tells how coffee kept her from insuring her life: "I suffered for many years, chiefly from trouble with my heart, with se vere nervous headaches and neuralgia, but although incapacitated at times for my housework, I did not realize the gravity of my condition till I was re jected for life insurance, because, the examining physician said, my heart was so bad he could not pass me. This distressed me very much, as I was a widow and had a child dependent upon me. It was to protect her future that I wanted to insure my life. "Fortunately for me, I happened to read an advertisement containing a testimonial from a man who had been affected in the same way that I was with heart trouble, and who was cured by leaving off coffee and using Postum. I grasped at the hope this held out, and made the change at once. "My health began to improve im mediately. The headaches and neu ralgia disappeared, I gained in flesh, and my appetite came back to me at once.

It follows: "After passing eighty years in this world with almost countless opportuni ties for observing the purposes for which men generally live and the dis appointment they so commonly suffer, it seems reasonable that I should have formed some opinion as to the course they ought to follow If they are to have any real success. "So on this, my eightieth birthday, I tell the American people this: "If they will seek the honor of God, the reign of righteousness, the welfare of the friendless poor, the riches that endure forever with the same self sacrificing activity with which .they seek the wealth and pleasure of this world, they will have a good- chance of finding that life of satisfaction which now so often eludes them and of building up a pattern nation for the world to imitate.

TVJlXi LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news la received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. "Billy Possums" will be Interested to know that several dozen "Teddy Bears" perished the other day in a fire in New Tork City. Fredericksburg, Va., Is a "dry" town riow for the first time in its history. All of which goes to show that cities like men are never too old to learn. Kansas farmers who have held onto considerable of their wheat ought to be feeling pretty fine these days. The grain buyers are paying $1.15 a bushel Although Mr. Roosevelt is now a private citizen and is a few thousand miles away from Washington, he is getting as much daily notoriety in the newspapers as he did whi'- he was the chief executive of the-nation. A rather discouraging thought comes from London Health. It says: "The ideal man does not exist; perhaps one who has a fine liver has a bunion, and In most of us there is a screw loose somewhere." Reports have it that Mary Garden, the grand opera prima donna, is to marry a titled gent answering to the name of Prince Mavrocordato. She can well afford it as long as her voice holds out and she Is able to gather in $1,500 a night for her every appearance on the stage. Uncle Jim Hill declares that the re turn of prosperity depends upon prompt tariff action and the crops. In dications are that the crops can be depended upon as usual to do their duty, but as to a prompt and efficient revision of the tariff, well, as Rudyard Kipling would say, "That is another etory." City authorities are considering the advisability of levying a special tax ton the milk sold in Topeka to pay the expenses of the inspection now accord ed it. Although the suggested tax is but a mill on a gallon of milk It will probably furnish the milk dealers with an excuse for again boosting the price of milk which Is now at the fancy fig ure of eight cents a quart. Baron Gwydyr, born in 1810 and who, until the time of his recent death, was the oldest member of England's peer age, was different from most old fel lows. He, attributed his longevity to moderation in eating. and drinking and abstinence from tobacco. Generally, a centenarian insists that his long life resulted from eating and drinking whatever he pleased and from using to bacco by the carload. Congressman Vic Murdock has made another bid for Insurgency with cer tain of his confreres in the house of representatives through the Introduc tion of a. bill calling upon several of x the states to pay back the $28,000,000 which was loaned them by the' federal government many years ago. This irtoney would come in handy to take the place of the $29,000,000 fine against the Standard OH company which gov ernment officials were figuring on. On an actual capitalization of about $70,000,000 the Standard Oil company is reputed to have made one billion dol lars in the last 27 years. And a read ing of John D. Rockefeller's reminis censes which have been appearing in The World's Work, would lead one to believed that every cent of this money has been earned honestly and with npthlng but fair and square dealing above board. Still there are some per sons who will be a bit skeptical. i Oklahoma's militiamen may be fine fighters but their difficulty seems to be that they cannot get near enough to their quarry to show Just how bravo they are. Great must have been their regret over their Inability to get near enough to one lone Indian, Crazy Snake, for the purpose of dem onstrating Just what they are ca pable of doing on a battlefield. It really is too bad that they have aban doned the chase. Their battle with this Indian would have been a mem orable event to have chronicled In the history of a state where strange and unusual things are always in the doing. Something new in the way of cru sades conducted by women is in the air at Bayonne, New Jersey. In an ef fort to keep their husbands from playing poker and other games of chance they have organized an anti gambling society and have started in to mke personally conducted raids on alleged gambling houses. Their first one was a success but they could gams themselves a whole lot of trou- save) themselves a whole lot of trou tlon of John Franklin Fort, governor of New Jersey, to the fact that gam bling rooms are running in Bayonne. He made a fine success of driving the gamblers out of Atlantic City. THE TARIFF BILL. 'Mjich comment- Is' being indulged throughout the country over the fact that the debate on the tariff bill in the house Of representatives la not at tracting much attention. Reports from Washington have it that only a handful of the members are present during the sessions of these days to listen to the remarks which are being made on It and that this number Is largely made up of the congressmen who are slated to deliver their tariff speeches on that particular day. This leads to the conclusion that the tariff legislation is already cut and dried as far as the house of representatives is concerned; that the Republican lead ers have the votes to Jam the measure through in pretty much the form in which it was reported by the ways and means committee. But probably there is another rea son, which may be efficient but which is not good and sufficient. It is that the senate is now recognized as the real power in framing the tariff legislation, although the constitution probably has in mind that this role should be played by the house in which, accord ing to constitutional dictation, a tariff bill must originate. During the past several years, in fact since the sen ate during the Cleveland administra tion killed the Mills tariff bill, the real and final work on tariff revision has been done by the senate. The senators have taken the tariff bills as passed by the house and fixed them up to their own satisfaction and the members of the house have generally accepted the verdict of the senators as the best they could secure in tariff legislation, disagreeable as it might be to many of them. That an effort will be made to make the history of tariff legislation repeat itself in this regard with the Payne bill is beyond a reasonable doubt. And the friends of an honest tariff re- vision downward which is provided for in the Payne bill regardless of Its several glaring defects and incon sistencies and provisions which are decidedly unacceptable to the con sumers of the country who will have to pay the freight, have reason to be fearful of the fate of the bill when it reaches the senate. For stand patters of the first water are in the Benate crowd which has the control of things. Still there is no use of crying over the possibility of spilled milk and really things are not quite as bad in the senate as they might be. There is lots of new blood in that body, par ticularly from the central west; which is not in sympathy with the oligarchy in control of the senate. This hew blood is made up of men, fighters all, who are In sympathy with the de mands of the people In respect to tariff revision. The disposition of the tariff bill will give them a fine chance to test their strength with the powers that be in the senate, and whether they can win their fight or not,. they will make things interesting. It Is to be presumed that Vice President Sherman will help them all he can. They certainly will have President Taft behind them for his views on tariff revision are of a known- quantity. In fact he will not hesitate to veto a tariff bill which does-not do things in the proper way and the knowledge of this fact will probably help the Payne bill over many a hard senatorial hill. TREES FOR OVERFLOW LAND. What cannot fail to be of interest to many Kansas farmers and others own ing land abutting the many fickle streams of the state which is practi cally useless for the purposes of agri culture because It is almost cer tain to be inundated yearly with over flow waters is a bulletin from the for est service bureau of the federal department of agriculture on the prac ticability of forest planting on over flow lands. It reads In part as fol lows: "Settlers in this part of the country for many years have grappled with the problem of forest planting on lands subject to overflow. Many have succeeded in their planting experi ments, and some have failed, but in terest in the matter has never lagged among progressive owners of land. The question of utilizing to the best advantage the thousands of acres of overflow lands throughout the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri valleys is be coming of increasing Importance. "The effect of the recurrent floods has been to permanently damage, by erosion, or to render temporarily worthless for agriculture, by deposits of sand, large areas of previously fer tile plowland. Because of the uncer tainty of field crops, and the danger of future erosion, much of the flood-damaged land can be devoted profitably to tree planting. "The Cottonwood and the black wal nut, two native trees, and the hardy catalpa fulfill the requirements admir ably. The cottonwood may be planted where erosion has more or less com pletely ruined the land, and on areas which have been covered by deep layers of sand. The partially eroded land and land covered with only a shallow layer of sand, and also such areas which through the protection of surrounding natural forests have be come silted, may be profitably planted to black walnut or' hardy catalpa. "The fact has been demonstrated that trees can be profitably grown on lands subject to frequent overflows, and that lands damaged by extraord inary floods can be reclaimed by this method, while in planting land of this character to annual crops, recurrent floods will not only destroy the crops but also inflict additional and perman ent injury to the land." Evidence that plantations of trees have been known to survive frequent and prolonged overflows is presented In the bulletin. One of the Instances in this regard which is cited is that of a three-year-old plantation in Shaw nee county, Kansas, which was over flowed for about four weeks In the Kansas river flood In June, 1908, with, out being materially damaged. On an adjacent tract, planted In the spring of 1908, the newly planted seedlings were completely submerged for an entire week. Some of the leaves were killed and the growth of the trees tempor arily checked, as a result of the flood ing, but the) trees were not killed. JOURNAL ENTRIES Some men are so discriminating that tney won't borrow money from every body. Within a couple of months now the mrtation season will be in full blast. Memories are the most convenient of things because it is so easy to forget. Most persons who fail to hit the mark are apt to insist that it was not properly placed.

From the Atchison Globe. Only one person in a hundred is fair enough to accept his share of the blame in anything. An Atchison woman claims to be a relative of a famous character in fic tion who never lived. When we die. we hope to go to a place where it is not necessary for peo ple to blow their noses. Women who have to earn all the money they get, are seldom as gener ous to the church as they expect men to be. The women's idea of a mean man is one who gets cross when an approach ing addition to the family is announced. The little girls of Atchison are great ly excited: Mary Manning, 12 years old, is wearing false waves and puffs In her hair. There are some .people whose relig ion wouldn't fool the most credulous person on earth, but they expect the Lord to swallow it. To see a bridegroom out in the yard early in the morning. In his shirt sleeves, looking for kindling, takes a good deal of the romance out of his case. When a farmer is convinced that a big drink of whisky will do him good, he goes to bed before taking it, so that he can claim to be sick, if he acts funny. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. tFrom the Chicago News. The glad hand grasps .the Jackpot. Honesty never has to crowd any body in order to make a living. You can't tell which way a train has gone by the track it leaves. Girls would rather sing soprano than alto because it Is higher-toned. A woman likes to go away for the summer because most of her friends can't. The best mothers do not get their ideas on the child-raising subject from books. Our idea of a man with strong will power is one who never talks about the weather. And it sometimes happens that when a man says he believes a woman he is merely a polite fabricator. Don't think for a minute that your neighbors will ever think you are bet ter than you think you are. Few men understand the art of love making, but women are always ready to afford them an opportunity to prac tice. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. Ground floor investments seem to have mighty deep cellars under them. The way to become able to afford to keep an automobile is never to do it. A most awful disappointment when you kiss a man's sister In the dark is to have her turn out to be 'your own. A woman has such an imagination that if her head were as bald as ivory she could think it only appeared so. The most pride a mother has about the baby is that if it weighed three pounds more and was an inch and a half shorter it would exactly fit some scientific theory. KANSAS COMMENT CHURCH ROWS. .An easy thing to start and a hard thing to stop Is a church row. Where two or three hundred people try to all work together for one object, It is the most natural thine in the world for some of those people to become dissatisfied, whether that object is the election or a vice royal grand of the nome ana illustrious order of Whoops, or the promulgation of the Christian religion. The wonder Is that "there are not more churches torn to pieces by church rows. -'Religion, is a serious thing, and when people differ about me management of their place or worship, it is usually a serious dif ference. 'The fact, that churches do survive these internal turmoils so suc cessfully indicates that there is a noble spirit of self sacrifice dominant in the churches of the country. The worst part of the church row is the atmosphere which it breathes out upon tne non-church going pud lie. "Church members are always in a fuss of some kind," says the non church man, "and for my part I prefer to stay out wnere I won t get mixea up with such things." He catches a word, a sentence, a look, a gesture here and there, from members of the church, which tell him a story of dis like, distrust and bitterness among members of the same church which is not particularly Christ-like and ele vating, to say the least. It Is with the man outside of the church that the church row has the most damag ing effect, for it prejudices him against the whole fabric of Christianity. For try though they may to suppress all Inklings of the church row from out siders, it is sure to be detected. The smell of smoke from a smouldering fire can not long be concealed. Sa una Journal. OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES. Many occupational diseases can be done away with entirely or at least materially restricted by proper metn- ods of control. So Dr. Charles tt Henderson believes. He. has been mak ing a study of conditions of labor for a long time. He Is now starting on a six months' trio to Europe to make a personal investigation of the diseases to which woriungmen are suDjectea In connection with harmful occupa tions. The inaulry will Include examination of the causes and- effects of poison ing resulting from Industrial process es, and study the legislation of the mun tries visited to ascertain what has been attempted In the way of re lief measures. The six months' ab sence from Chicago will be spent In Spain. France, Germany,, and Switz erland, i Tt is a bit of good fortune from which Illinois should gain much that one of its commission for the study of occupational diseases Is to sup nlant his rich experience in matters relating to labor with this special op- Dortunitv for detailed inquiry in me Industrial centers of the world. The subject is not ono upon wnicn even the best Informed can report off hand. It Is one bf so much import ance however, that the investigation should be furthered in every possible way. .The legislature should make a sufficient appropriation to enable the commission to continue Its work for at least two years. With that much time the state can- have the Denetit of Dr. Henderson's-European studies and proper inyeMfgations can be marl nf the conditions at nome.- jin such ease something-of real profit "to the workingmen" of Illinois and to those of the nation mlgnt De nopea for. Hutchinson News. FROM OTHER PENS PEOPLE AND EXTRAVAGANCE. A remark made by Senator Aldrich is interpreted by Washington corres pondents as indicative of his Intention to discover a way of making revenues meet expenditures without resorting to "anv "special taxation schemes." This means that he will seek to bring about economies sufficient to render customs collections and internal rev enues, adequate to" the needs of -the government. All this is interesting. Economies that would not materially affect the efficiency of the public ser vice are possible. If the naval appro priation were reduced from $187,000, 000 to $100,000,000; if the amount set down for military purposes now in the lump $120,000,000 were cut down by one-sixth there would be $57,000,- 000 less of the taxpayers- money ae- manded for these two services alone. Then again, if towns or two thou sand inhabitants were denied public buildings costing from $100,000 to $200,000 there would be still further appreciable savings But would the people stand for rigorous economy? There is the rub since congress in some of its profusion has been mere ly representative. Towns are apt to gauge a congressman's power by his ability to gratify their desire for pub lic buildings. There is at times an endeavor to saddle on the nation charges that should be borne by "the states. People like to see the results of great expenditures, even if they grumble when the bills come in. The American people have their share in the responsibilities for the costliness of our government and if expenditures are to be cut down $50,000,000 or $60,- 000,000 they must be prepared to go without something they have hereto fore had for the asking. Boston Transcript. THE FACTOR OF QUALITY. Mr. Charles M. Schwab, expressing his cheerful approval of reduced steel schedules, suggests a factor in such considerations which, though it is lit tle likely to find expression in the course of a tariff debate, is familiar enough as a mighty Influence In the promotion of trade and industry. That factor is quality of the' goods. It is safe to assert as a general principle that the better the product the small er the odds the producer will crave in the universal competition. "I know nothing about other lines, but I know that American laborers can pro duce more steel in a given time and can put out better steel than any oth er workmen in the world," says Mr. Schwab. Possessed of that confidence, he has no doubt of the triumph of American industry in free competi tion. "We have nothing to fear by a cut in tariff, because we have the best goods.", he asserts. Every business man, every manu facturer, will recognize the force of such an argument. The wage prob lem becomes secondary, as soon as that principle is determined. The most skillful workmen are bound to receive the highest wages, and Mr. Schwab declares no new truth, reveals no sudden discovery, when he reminds us that the highest paid labor is the cheapest to the employer. Indiffer ent workmanship may require protec tion against "pauper labor," but the product of quality .may. be depended upon to pay the cost' of quality wages without a subsidy. Providence Jour nal.

"It Is not only the right, but the duty and office, of newspapers to free ly criticise men in public places," said Justice William J.' Gaynor, of the ap pellate division of the supreme court. Saturday In his address at the laying i me cornerstone or the .Press Club s new Duucung. Freedom of the press as an absolute essential of a free country was the main theme of what the Justice had to say. ie also showed his faith in the worthiness of the press to have such freedom by what he said concernlnc the improvement of newspapers in the last two decades, and about the high standards of decency and intelligence of newspaper men, who had securely piacea journalism among the profes sions. "There is one thing." continued Jus tice uaynor, -in which the press should be all powerful, and that is in tne exercise or Its function to give the true size and motives of those who are classed as demagogues, whether Justly or unjustly. This they do by rair and pungent statement and auery. The press must be all-powerful to classify political humbugs who set themselves up as statesmen and put tnem in a group by themselves, where they can be easily distinguished. They are now, and have been for several years going up and down the country," said he, "denouncing what they call 'trusts' and aggregations of capital with voices like the bull of Bashan, without telling what a trust is, or what the trouble or the evil or the wrong is, so that it may be dealt with and removed. They do not say a concrete thing. Promiscuous and indefinite denunciation is all we have ever got from them. They bawl out against every large business that it Is a monopoly. In their public conduct public offi cials are Justly held up by the press to the fullest publicity. In no other way can low, base, and corrupt government be lifted up and made decent and kept so. And in this the press has come, on the whole, to be fair and honor able. The men of your profession draw a correct lino between criticism and abuse." New York World. Death for Fat and Lazy. Officials of the zoo, in the Bronz, have learned in taking a census of the prairie dogs that the older members of their colony are not allowed by the younger to live when they get fat and lazy. A yea rago the keepers missed sev eral well-known seniors. At first It was supposed a new settlement had been founded, somewhere outside the old .inclosure. The entire corral was dug up and the concrete wall, which is built down to considerable depth, was inspected, but there were no holes by which the dogs might escape un derground. Puzzle: What became of the miss ing elderly members of the colony? Curator Raymond L. Ditmars order ed that the old. portly fellows be marked for Identification. The annual census revealed that the settlement had increased seventy in population also that eleven of the elderly chaps marked for Identification were not in evidence. Only ono death had been officially reported. The investigation was pusnea ana it resulted in the discovery that the old dogs are not allowed to have their day, but are made away with on the Oslerlzatlon principle, possibly. It was learned as well that the bodies of the "removed" members are placed In catacombs the unused tunnel: and the openings sealed, so that their whereabouts is traced with difficulty by the two-legged investigators. New York W orld. Pope's Priceless Clothes. The most costly wardrobe In the world belongs, without a doubt, to the pope. Etiquette compels him to wear different garments each day of the year, and as nearly all or tnem are ornamented with rich and rare gems, no millionaire could hope to purchase them, even if a value could be placed on them. The pope's little skuii caps are or the finest silks. while his embroidered slippers of velvet are gorgeous to look at. Still more costly are his gloves, made of white wool, embroidered with fine pearls in tne snape or a cross. A special herd of 50 sheep is kept from which all the papal woolen garments are manufactured. The surplices are of the most valuable and beautiful lace, while one long cape, the "cappa magna," wnicn is rarely worn, hangs straight -from the shoulders, and lit erally gleams from top to bottom with gold and precious stones. The rings, too, which the pope wears are priceless, con taining as they do many stones of matchless quality. Detroit Free Press. Coloring of a Water Snake. Among snakes even partial albinism is rare, while wholly white individuals are unknown. Considerable interest therefore attaches to an account of a common water snake of the former type recently given by G. Tornice in a Berlin natural history Journal. The specimen, which was obtained in the neighborhood of Berlin and is pre served in the museum of that city, is not altogether colorless, although much of the coloring is very pale. On the back are a number of brownish red spots. There is also a pale yel lowish neckband with a blackish brown band behind it. In the eye the iris presents a number of yellowish brown pigment spots and the pupil is mainly dark red. Very noteworthy is the fact that the tongue is white in stead of the normal black. Field. Rebuke to Churches. A preacher enrolled in the Emman uel church movement Sunday occu pied the pulpit at Yale for the first time when the Rev. Dr. Elwood Wor cester, of Boston, spoke here. He said that under the Emmanuel movement nearly everything can now be cured but broken bones. He reproved the orthodox churches fof keeping their doors open only one day of the week. He said: "If Jesus Christ went through the streets seeking to heal the sick and suffering on week days. He would find the churches closed and the liveliest sign of activity would be that of the undertaker in his efforts to bury peo ple." New Haven dispatch to New York Times. TNE EVENING STORY Miss Tiverton's Tea Basket. (By Alice Sprague.j Miss Tiverton always poured tea at precisely 3 o'clock in the afternoon for a select circle of feminine friends. They drank tea at that early hour so that those who were married might get home in time to prepare 6 o'clock dinners for their husbands, and that those who were single might be safe ly housed before the early darkness of the winter evenings. Miss Tiverton sometimes wished that they might stay later, for it was al ways a long. lonely stretch between their going and bedtime. -Sometimes Lavinia Greer stayed with her, and on those occasions Lavinla's brother Richard would call at 9. And these were the social oases in Miss Tiverton's desert of dreary evenings. She always made more tea for Rich ard and brought out her little sponge cakes. Richard liked the little cakes. and he liked Miss Tiverton's dainty ways, her delicate pink and white prettiness and her pale rose-colored house gowns. Lavinia thought Miss Tiverton very foolish to wear muslin all winter. "Think of the washing," she said as she and Richard walked home one evening. "And Letltia Tiverton is as poor as Job's Turkey." "She surrounds herself," said Rich ard, musingly, "with an atmosphere of beauty Lavinia sniffed. She hated to have her brother say nice things about Letitia Tiverton. Lavinia had kept her brother's house for many years and it had always been her great duty to nip sentimental affairs in the bud. Therefore it was many weeks after that ominous remark of Richard's be fore she again spent an evening with Letitia. She took her work over in the mornings or went to the little tea drinkings, but she did not allow her brother to darken the doors of the little gray cottage. One day Richard spoke of ,Jt mild ly. "We haven't been to Miss Tiver ton's for a long time," he said. "Not, I think, for four weeks tomorrow." Lavinia gave him a sharp glance. "How did you happen to remember the date?; she acked acidly. Richard looked at her quizzically over his glasses. "I noted the date in my diary," he said. "I always write down the events of. the day, Lavinia." He did not tell her that he had added after the formal state ment, "Brought Lavinia home from Miss T.'s," the further comment, "Miss T. looked like a rose in her pink gown." A week later he' urged Lavinia to call. "She will think something is the matter," he said. Lavania shrugged her shoulders. "I have' been there in the day time," she said. "I don't see what more she can expect." Richard thought for a moment. "She has told me that her evenings are lonely," he reminded his sister. "Humph," said Lavinia. "I don't know that we are called on to put ourselves out to go there these freez ing nights." Richard returned to his book, but after a reasonably judicious interval he looked up to say: "I saw a very pretty tea basket in a shop this morn ing, Lavinia, padded inside to keep the tea warm "Who wants a thing like that?" La vinia questioned, scornfully. "I al ways make coffee, Richard..'!- Richard said nothing more. He lov ed tea, but Lavinia preferred coffee, and there you were. Yet the next morning he sauntered to the flaming Japanese bazaar, where were display ed native wares to tempt the tourist who were making the old-fashioned southern village a half-way stopping place on their way to the tropics. The tea basket was a quaint affair of oriental weaving with a gay pink satin lining and a green and pink cord and tassel about the handle. The pink made Richard think of Miss Tlv erton. With a defiant look he went in and bought the basket and ordered It sent to her. His heart failed him, however, when the dark-skinned salesman asked him for a card to put with the gift. "Just send It without," he said, has tily. Visions of Miss Lavinla's wrath should she know of his purchase, came to him oppressively. The mysterious basket was to little Letitia Tiverton a source of infinite delightful speculation. She displayed it to her afternoon circle, the rose- colored lining, the pink cord and tas sel, the fine basketry. "And I can't Imagine who sent me such a beautiful thing," she ended radiantly when all had seen It. At the first glance Lavinia Green's eyes had hardened. Of all those wo men she only suspected where that basket had come from. Richard had sent it. This looked seriously like the beginning of a romance that would be most inconvenient- to Miss Lavinia. On the way home she thought over a plan. It was simple. At dinner she told Richard: "Letitia Tiverton was too silly about a basket that some one sent her." Richard started, and his face flush ed. He realized that Lavinia had put two and two together and had guess ed that it was he who had sent the tea basket to Miss Tiverton. "I wish you had seen her," Lavi nia pursued. "I wish-you had heard her giggle and boast that you sent It." Richard turned questioning eyes up on her. "But she did not know that I had sent it," he said. "There was no card, Lavinia." Lavinia went on hurriedly. "Well, then, she guessed, for she bragged of It, Richard it it was disgusting." Miss Lavinia s face was a dull red. She did not like what she was doing, now that she was doing it. But she was desperate. 'I can't imagine, Richard s tone was incisive "I can't imagine, Lavi nia. a woman of Miss Tiverton's deli cacy doing a thing like that." Lavinia tossed her head. "You don't know much about women Rich ard," she retorted. Richard walked abroad that night consumed by angry doubts. Surely Lavinia would not lie. Surely Miss Tiverton would not brag. His gold- headed cane tapped the pavement ir resolutely. Then suddenly he strode down the street, irresolute no longer. Miss Letitia, alone and a little wistful in her small gray cottage. heard the tap of the cane as she had heard it 'every night when Richard went forth for his evening walk. Behind her curtains she. had watch ed him regularly.' and had admired the straightness of him. the briskness of his walk, the brown waves "of hair which, in defiance of modern fashion, he wore so long that It almost touch ed his coat collar. I It had never dawned on Miss Tiv erton that such a great being as La vinla's brother could look upon her and find her lovely. In her humility she had not dreamed that the basket was an offering from such a source. She had thought the women of her circle might have clubbed together to bestow on her this gift of friend ship, and her effusiveness at the after- AMUSEMKNTS. At thn Novelty. Tonight North Bros.

The tap of the gold-headed cane sounded right in front of her gate, stopped, and began again on the stone walk that led to the front door. Then the bell rang. Miss Tiverton answered it. Richard stepped over her threshold for the first time with out his sister Lavinia. "I came," he said, when he was seated, "to ask you a question, a del icate question, Miss Tiverton. Who sent you your tea basket?" Miss Letitia's clear eyes met his frankly. "Oh, did Lavinia tell you that one was sent me she asked. "It's such a beauty and sh brought it to him, displaying the rose lining and the tassels. Richard drew forth a breath of re lief. The doubts that Lavinia had planted fled. There was nothing of deceit in that child-like soul. In that flowerlike face. "Miss Letitia," he said, with his hand on the basket, "haven't you guessed who sent it?" Her puzzled glance met his. "No," she murmured. "I I sent it" he confessed, "be cause it reminded me of you the rose color and the pink like your pretty gown, your pretty self, a rose of a woman." Miss Letitia stood half-poised for flight. "Oh," she said breathlessly, and her eyes wera like stars, "Oh, Mr. Greer." Richard grew bolder. "I sent it because I love you, Letitia. There is no happiness that could exceed that of winning you for my wife It came upon little Letitia almost too suddenly, that vision of happiness, and she swayed toward him, looking Just then more like a lily than a rose, and the tea basket dropped from her nerveless hand. Richard caught it deftly as he drear her to him. "You will pour tea f' me, won't you?" he demanded, tryri. ing to bring the color back to hetV cheeks. "For the rest of my days. -Letitia! Lavinia gives me coffee but then, oh, hang lavinia! Will you marry me, sweetheart?" And Miss Letitia, after a startled "Oh, Richard," buried her face against his coat and said, "Yes."

ALARMS INTO SEASONS Winter Takes Prize for Disas trous Fires. Other Items of Interest From City Building. OS Jackson ndependent phone 1490. Topeka. Kansas. Topeka has had 274 fires during the fiscal year ending March 31. The of ficial report has not been compiled by the flre marshal and these figures were obtained by a scanning; of the fire rec ord book. There are a number of interesting facts concerning the fires and their causes. In the first place the fires of the year are divided into four classes spring, summer, fall and winter. Each season of the year has its usual causes and each season brings about the usual conditions for the fire alarms. In the spring time a majority of the fires are caused by the burning out of chimneys and the burning of trash. At this time of the year it is cus tomary to do the regular annual house cleaning stunt and the stoves are piled full with papers and waste material of all kinds. As a result the chimneys are burned out and the sparks become lodged in between the shingles soon kindling a blaze. There were 2 5 fires caused last year from burning chimneys and sparks. Out of the ten false alarms turned in at headquarters most of them came in during the spring. The clouds of dust from the same house cleaning establishments seems to be the only reason for this unusual happening. In the summer time there are two causes prevalent. Lightning and spontaneous combustion carry away the honors during this time of the year. There were only five fires caused from lightning last summer and ten from spontaneous combustion. The lightning fires always occur in the summer time and such materials as coal, oily rags, and old rubbish constitute the spontaneous combustion habit. This leads the flre marshal to state that it is extremely dangerous for people to leave old rags and the like around the house or around a building. There were only ten fires known to have been caused by spon taneous combustion but out of the 38 unknown fires there is plenty of room for the combustion theory to prove itself. Old mops used with oil on floors left lying around the house will soon develop into the blaze period after a certain amount of time and temperature. In the fall the bonfires carry away a majority of the causes. There were 31 bonfire alarmslast year and prac tically all of them came in the fall when leaves, papers, rubbish and the like is being burned. There is a city ordinance against building bonfires within the fire limits but like about half of the city ordinances it is not obeyed. All of the six fires' caused by locomotives occurred in the fall when traffic on the railroads is heavy and the roofs of adjoining property are dry. In the winter time gas seems to be the chief trouble. There were all tol.-i 17 fires caused by gas in the last year. This does not include the big Copeland fire, the Parkhurst-Davis conflagra tion and the Bromich disaster. All of these fires more noticably the last two were caused by gas. Then there are seven causes placed under the careless head most of which were caused by a man hunting for a gas leak with a lighted match. This is indirectly a gas cause. Then deducting from the 38 un known fires again there are undoubted ly a number of them with a gas root. In the winter time gas is burned much more freely and Chief Wilmarth said to a State Journal reporter this morn ing that people could not be too care ful with the deadly fumes. In the first place never hunt a gas leak with a match. This rule is as old as the gas itself but some people are still in need of instruction. In connection with gas there is the gasoline problem so many people do not realize that the fumes from an open gasoline -can will spread over a room and in time cause trouble. There were five gasoline stove fires during the year, which is a very good record since natural gas has been sub stituted for the red can. One of the big surprises of the year is the electric wiring cause figures. Ac cording to the known electric faults there were only four fires caused by improper wiring. Of course, as Chief Wilmarth said, it is very hard to de termine an electric wire fire as it is hidden and hard to prove. The electric proposition will also take a good aeat in the "unknown" column. Among the other causes mentioned In the fire record book is boys and matches, false alarms (10).. overturned and exploding lamps, cleaning clothes with gasoline near a stove, fumigating (5), thawing out water pines, and in cendiary. There were, as far as the exact knowledge of the fire marshal Is concerned, 18 incendiary fires during the year. An incendiary fire is an other hard question to work out and there were probably a number more than quoted on account of a lack of exact information on the part of the books. The last fiscal year (1907-8) there were 205 fires and the year before 256. This last year has been the most disas trous in the history of the city on ac count of the large unprotected build ings burning within a short time of each other and the work of the nat ural gas. The fire losses have not been compiled by the flre marshal on ac count of the lack of information from the firms and building owners. Insur ance companies are: given from one to three months to settle and it will be impossible to figure out the loss until the reports have been sent in. Emporia has been receiving the same brand of warnings from the Warren Brothers company of Boston who claim that the Kaw Paving com pany is infringing upon their patents. The Emporia Gazette contains the following article which will interest the city officials and those interested in Ih. fifhtr "Mayor GIotfelterr. received a tele gram from Warrea Brothers, of Bos ton, yesterday, w:arning him that if the ctiy allowed tnefjaw vaney .rav ing company to proceed with the ptv inir of Exrhanrn street; the city-would be Infringing upon their patents, and would be held responDle. warren Brothers are owners of the patents on the bitullthlc paving. "Mayor Glotfelter immediately con sulted with City Attorney Frith, and they decided- the city would pay no attention to the warning. When tne contract was let to the Kaw company for paving Exchange street with as phaltic concrete, suit was threatened the city by the bitullthlc people if the contractors were allowed to pro ceed. Accordingly, the Kaw company offered to put up an indemnity bond to indemnify the city against a law suit should one be brought, if it re ceived the contract, and this bond was made a part of the contract. If the bitullthlc people bring suit, the cost will fall on the Kaw Paving company, and not on the city." Councilman H. B. Howard never smokes cigars but he never refuses to take one when offered to him. Sev eral of the councilmen have wondered what the Third ward alderman has been doing with the cigars which have been passed around again and again so with the assistance of Street Com missioner Snyder they investigated the desk of the Mighty Howard Satur day afternoon. Mr. Snyder procured the key while Councilmen Jordan and Tandy watched the process the lid of the councilman's desk was opened and with a grab and scratch the two watching aldermen hooked thirteen cigars and the big hearted accommo dating street commissioner who kind ly opened the desk never received a taste. The firemen at the city hall head quarters have been practicing with a life saving fire net. Twelve of them hold the life saver while the rest of the company leap in streams from the upper stories of the building. They have been attracting big crowds. The "Real Thing" for keeping a young man coming right along is, of course, the young lady herself. But a pleasing custom is to set out a dainty bite be fore he leaves.

Sam Dolman, of the firm of Ifolman Son. the contractors who are In charge of the dike work, who has been advocating the planting of willows on the dikes to bind the material to gether and add to its power to resist the action of the current, proposes that if. the drainage board should see fit to adopt his plan that an arbor day be set aside for tree and. shrub planting. "I think such a plan, wouM be well taken," said Mr. Dolman this morning. "If the drainage board takes favor able action, upon my plan of planting willows along the sides of the dikes, and then sets aside an arbor day for the purpose, I believe the people of North Topeka would turn out and help. "I should think that people would be wlllinsr to do their part to help in crease the efficiency of the embank ments and at the same time oeautiry the dikes. Rose bushes and other shrubbery as well as willows could be planted. It would be my idea to place these near the river level. "I am of the opinion that on a cer tain day, people living along the dif ferent stretches of the embankment could plant trees and shrubs on their section of the dike and thus do the work in a thorough and systematic manner." The election is passing off very quietly. There is comparatively lit tle electioneering in any of the pre cincts and the poll up to noon was very light. The number of votes cast up to noon in the different precincts of the First ward is as follows: First precinct 13 female, 37 male. Second precinct 8 female, 51 male. Third precinct, 4 female, 54 male. Fourth precinct 30 female, 64 male. Total, 47 female, 152 male.

Thus we are afforded plenty of ice and snow for sleighing and skating, also curling. As many know curling consists oi a game iu which objects are knocked around on the ice with a stick without going into details of the game. "In the summer time golf is very popular. Large golf courses are laid out near Glascow and on certain days regular 'golf trains' carrying business men to and from the golf course run out from Glascow. "On one occasion I spent the day on the golf course with several business men from Glascow. They absented themselves a whole day from their business affairs. Yes, people seem to take things easier there than we do and do not worry so much, but they seem to accomplish a great deal." Notes and Personals. G. C.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOXTRV a Ti TUSSDAY" EVENING, APRIL 6, 1909. GOUNGILMEETING Last Regular Session of Fiscal Tear Last Night. Increase in Dog Taxes Discuss v ed by Aldermen. PROPOSALS OPENED. McOaire Stanton of LeaTen worth Get Kenwood Sewer. Other Matters Talked Over Last Night. Alderman Stanley from the Sixth ward started a good hot fight. In the council chamber last night when he rose and suggested that the dog tax In the city be raised from $1 to 12 on males. He said that this was the only way the dogs could be thinned out Mr. Stanley's Idea was to make people pay enough for their dogs, if the dogs were really worth the price if not they ehould be killed. He said that there were hundreds of people In the city who had rather pay a. dollar for an old yt-llow dog than have him killed and the children grieved. But the suggestion made by the pro fessor was not taken up -very strongly fcy the council even though they did agree that there were too many dogs In the city at the present time. The other -councilmen did not think that It "would be right to work a hardship on the poorer people by charging" two dol lars apiece for their male pets. The matter was referred to the license com mittee. M.vor Oreen brought out some lm rxirtant nolnts on the dog tax ordin ance last night. It seems, according to the mayor, that there are two Dig difficulties in the present ordinance. In the first place people all over the city are complaining because they have to pay an extra one or two dollars, what ever the case may be, when a dog is foorn after the first of April. It Is really a hardship on the people to pay tax on pups which have been sent Into the world Just after the dog tax limit Is passed. The other difficulty Is con cerning the floating population of the city. People moving Into the city after lApril 1 find It necessary to pay $3 for their dog tax. xnis is Dom unreason able and unhandy. All of these mat ters will be settled by the committee. The proposals for the Kenwood sew er were opened last night and the con tract was captured by McGuire Stan ton of Leavenworth who made the low est bid on the proposition their bid being $22,416.08 or almost JIO.OOO less than the estimates made by the city engineer. The next lowest bidder waa from W. W. Cook 8on of Junction City, who gave a bid of 127,044.03. These bids were far below the other two bids which came from, W. W. Gilmore of Topeka and the American Light t wa ter company of Kansas City. Mo. The city officials were much pleased over the bid. saying that it was at least $3,000 less than was expected Dy tne en gineer. This contract completes a ser ies of paving and newer contracts made by the city this year tnat nave aroppea thousands of dollars below the esti mate of the city engineer. Naturally, It Is absolutely necessary that all bids be below the bid of the city engineer but nothing like this was expected. A nun.ber of the city officials took it upon themselves to extend their congratula tions to the. contractors last night. The city pay rolls were brought to light last night at the council meet ing and they were approved as passed upon by the claims and accounts com mittee Saturday afternoon. Nothing Btartling in the reports. General Manager Hurley, of the San ta Fe, sent a communication to the council asking this honorable body to get busy on the footbridge proposi tion submitted by the Santa Fe not long ago. The Santa Fe asked the city to construct a new $4,000 foot bridge on their new bridge across the Kaw a footbridge that would blend In artls' tlc affect with the Santa Fe structure. The matter was referred to the ways and means committee who have been unable to meet on account of the sick ness of its members. The council last night gave the city clerk authority to send a communication to Mr. Hur ley telling him of the will of the mayor arid council. The city will not con struct a new footbridge the old one is Bliil new, nit; jjuuiL iiui uf iiifi wui n oft. The city does not consider it ad visable to spend $4,000 on a new struc ture when the old one is new. A communication from the residents out near the intersection of Laural and Elmore avenues in Potwin object stren uously to the use of this place as a public dumping ground. They state that old tin cans, rags, manure, etc., pre dumped here every day and the district has been endangered since the arrival of the deadly germ catchers. The matter was given to the commit tee on health and sanitation who will run down the clues also the dumpers. The trouble between the Independent Telephone company and the city over the repavir.g of Jackson street after the conduit laying was practically decided last night when the telephone company sent the city a proposition whereby i Head to Heel Outfitters. Vli they would accede to anything the city wished if it was only given in such a manner that both parties could under stand it thoroughly. "The telephone company is always ready to do tne square thing," said Councilman Jordan last night, to a State Journal reporter. "They have built up a wonderful plant in Topeka and they are ready-, to come to any terms with the city." The amuslngr chicken coop damage suit brought against the city because one of the Maxwell teams tore away a hen's home was referred back to the pUt, engineer for settlement. This matter has been passed out to a rum ber of committees but they are all side stepping it. It will probably die on its endless Journey. Through a letter of recommendation the city attorney, F. G. Drenning, ap proved the new Knox addition which win be called "Edgewood," Its titles are clear and It la well worth consld' ering. A communication from the' Fire men's Relief association stated that $70 had been spent in the last month for doctor and drug relief. None an approved and the account was al lowed. The resolution to "award the Kaw Pavlnz company the asphaltio con- crete paving on College avenue and Mulvane street was passed in the right form last night and this com pany is now officially under tne nar- ness. The former resolutions were ap pealed. The reports of the city officers who control an inlet tf funds to the city treasury were approved last night. The best snowing was made by Police Judre S. S. Urmy who sent In $2,473.50, This Is more than enough to cover the pav roll of the police department. It is a record breaker. One claim was allowed and another killed by the council last night. C. T, Byers who had a horse injured by falling into a city excavation asked the city for $15 to pay the expenses. It seems that the man needed the money and the city' was liable. The claim disallowed came from Archie W. Coff man who claims to have re- ceived personal injuries by falling into a pile' of dirt and rubbish con trolled by the city in the rear of the New Era department store. The mat ter had been referred to the claims and accounts committee who recom mended that it be "not paid." It wasn't. The anti-cigarette ordinance intro duced by Councilman Howard re ceived its first reading last night and was sent to the committee' on health and sanitation. This is the ordinance that was fought so hard a month ago by Councilman Hughes. It will pass In a very short time. A resolution by H. B. Howard asked that, an ordinance be drawn up mak ing it unlawful for any livery or boarding stable to conduct business without a permit from the city board of health and before a permit was granted the said livery or boarding stable snould receive the permission of all people living within 400 feet of the site. The resolution was passed and an ordinance to this effect will be drawn up at Once. Councilman Horn gave the ways and means committee, of which he is chairman, a good lecture last night on attendance. It seems that, the chairman is unable to get his men to gether. The state house ground passage way wnjcn is iu xno present lime on iy open to family pets and unprotected chil dren was discussed again last, night thwiilph a TtlAO fMtm AM tin.. who owns an automobile. The Fourth ward councilman talked in first class eloquence last night for the second time during the meeting. He tat 1ft In part: "Gentlemen, we do not want to an tagonize the state officials but let me tell VOll anmethtnir ihnnt fhnva ---"O WWM LlllfOV. grounds occupied by the state house o no a. tjny uttvB pom ior me pave ment around this square and we as a Dart at f Hn Ktntn t,nVA i these matters.

D LUO( tUC best plan was to appoint a committee and confer with th. a-vaai& ax.mi.vv? J Ll I IU 1 1 this proposition was adopted by the council and Mr. Horn, Mr. Howard and Mr. Blakely were appointed by the mayor through the suggestion of Councilman Hughes. However the council promised Mr. Horn that on i i my wjicjn me new council will be sworn in tlma will v, Mr. Horn for another speech on the auiomoDiie question. One of the most beautiful and atm the wittiest "spells" ever taken hv the city council was -conducted last night after a resolution had been adopted to maae 11 uniawrui to kill any song bird or squirrel in the city limits. This song bird question brought forth the deeper natures of the busy council- We Say This to You j he Clothes of Felix are the foremost ready-to-wear in all America. They fit with a style that will make you look better than you do now. The prices are reasonable. Before pledging your money to a merchant tailor at least try on here. Felix Suberb Suits $15 to 'w 6 29-63 r Kansas Avenue. men and for "fully a half hour'the songs, the habits, the color and the nests of every song bird residing in Topeka was rendered. Such council men as Mr. Hughes and Mr. Horn who naturally allow their minds to run to lighter strains of wit and humor- bent down under the "low bridge" last night and they reviewed in pa thetic manner the cruelty of the small boy and his air rifle Mayor Green told of how a yard of robins and thrush had been cleaned of .nests, eggs and birds by the small boy and the gun. Mr. Horn told of the boys in the parks, Mr. Howard of the boys on the streets, Mr. Jordan of the wood peckers, Mr. Lannan of the Chippies, Mr. Blakely of the squirrels, Mr. Hughes of the southern tribes and the mayor of the robins. The "whole dis cussion was given first 'midst tears and then laughter. Without an ex ception this half hour was the most pleasant ever spent by the present city council since the time when Mayor Green was presented with the New Year's gift tjf a big chair. Such meetings as these bring out the other side of a man's nature and bring him on the? softer and "human" side of life. Nevertheless the ity council should protect the birds and squirrels in the city limits. County Commissioner J. C. Shimer appeared before the council last night and approvad very strongly of the suggestion, of Councilman Jordan in calling a special election to vote bonds for the extension of the Melan arch bridge to conform with the plans of the county commissioners and the proposed dikes. Mayor Green ex plained his communication with Sen ator Curtis in regard to a talk with the secretary of war and the matter will drop until word can be heard. NEW SCHOOL HOUSE. One Will Be Built on Buchanan Cost of $18,000. at X six room two-story school build ing will be erected on the site of the old Buchanan school, at the corner of Twelfth and Buchanan streets. The cost will be $18,000. This was decided upon at the meeting of the school board last night. The contract for the new, building will be awarded at the next meeting of the board J. C. Holland., an architect, will be asked to -make preliminary plans with in the next ten days, so that work on the new building may begin as soon as school closes. It was also stated that another school building will be built this year at Eleventh and Washington streets, after the plan of the Buchanan BChool building at about the same cost, although no definite action waa taken concerning the proposition The Buchanan school was erected in 1885. It has been pronounced un safe by many people. It will be torn down to make room for the new build ing. E. H.

A petition for this action was signed by forty residents of the East Side. Mr. Linn's name was presented by George H. Smith. Mr. Linn is chief -clerk to the super' visor of the Santa Fe apprentices. He is a graduate of the Kansas State Nor mal school at Emporia. He' has taught school twelve years, two in the rural schools, two in the grammar grades, has been six years principal of the Scranton schools and two years superintendent of the Lyndon schools.

Charles Klein's famous play "The Lion and the Mouse," which deals wh th financial conditions or ma country, and exposes many of the pre datory interests, comes to the Grand theater, Saturday, April 17, both mat inee and night. This production is un der the direction oi Henry u. -ttarris. who has gathered a strong company bv selecting tne Desi latent irora iaa two companies which appeared last season. At the Novelty. The management of the Novelty theater seems to have realized its long cherished aim of procuring a stock company that would really be popular and would play to pacKea nouses ev ery night. The fulfillment of this aim. Is seen In the North Brothers, who are assisted by the Chicago Ladies' Or chestra. The initial appearance last night was in "When We Were Twenty-One," the vehicle In which Nat Goodwin and Walker Whiteside have starred at dif ferent times. In this company are twenty-five per sons. Last night seventeen speaking parts were handled without the neces sity of doubling up. This company certainly played the piece last night. And it made a hit with the audience right from the start. Long and pro-' longed burst of applause were fre quent and at the end of every act two or three curtain calls were demanded. The leading roles were played by strong actors, who rose to the de mands of the parts. "Richard Ter rence Audane." the Imp, was played by Frank M. Thomas, leading man of the company. Mr. Thomas showed at nis nest in the nai act. Tavlor Ben nett as "Richard Carewe," his guard Ian was a favorite with the audience right from the start. Of the feminine parti Mabel Cullen proved herself eqtial to the demands of "Phyliss Eft-toon. Miss Cullen received a I Stetson's Hats of Green The Rage for Easter If you want to be right up to the scratch in the world of fashion Easter, be sure that your head is bedecked in one of Stetson's inimitable green hats. They have pro bunch of American Beauties during the performance last night which were sent here by St. Joseph admirers. Er nestine Mohrie acted the part of "Fire fly," an adventuress, and was a favor ite. Her costume especially delighted the feminine contingent in the au dience. The orchestra composed of Director Charles Meat, violinist, Norine Want ling, comet; Helen Irene Meyer, trom bone: Maudena Hubbard, drums, and Addalee Phllbrick, piano, is one of the great -features of the North Brothers company. Each musician is a soloist and a half hour's "program before the curtain rises on fh first act is well re ceived by the audience. During the intermissions between the acts special musical features are played by the or chestra. At the "Majestic. Miss Ethelyn Palmer, a former To peka girl is easily the headline act at the Majestic this week. Miss Palmer nnnom in -a BkBtrh., "The Man's the Thing." which was Written expressly! for her, by Cecil de Mille, the well known dramatist.' Miss Palmer is supported by Carlyle Moore Co., and the sketch is by far the best seen in Topeka this season. Miss Palmer h a nart that teems with emotion and tragedy, but ls5e rises to the oc casion, and, playact role .kwi perieci naturalness.-- The"'ritire' company of five Is a strong acWng aggregation. The remainder of the bill is enter taining. The Musleal Le Moines, mu sical artists, are well received by the audiences. In addition to several kinds of music, a reproduction of a musical melange in a Chinese theater is featured. Marjorle Barrett; is a young prima donna, of 15 summers who Impersonates several Hew YorK stars with pleasing1 effect. Girdeller, another former Topekan, has some comedy acrobatic dogs. There is nothing in that act that borders on the hackneyed canine specialties. Glenn Waggoner, makes a great hit with his Illustrated song this week, en titled "Play Ball." An interesting se ries of Majestlscope- films are shown. SO. KANSAS ATTORNEYS HERE. Argued Cases Before the State Su preme Court. X number of well, known attorneys from the Third district had business In Topeka Monday. J.- H. Dana of Cof- feyvllle and A. B. Clark of Independ ence argued an automobile case In the supreme court. Hal Clark, county at torney of Montgomery county, appear ed before the supreme court in the case of the ouster suit against Elmer Stub- blefleld, treasurer of that county. T, H. Stanford, of Independence, appeared for the defense and argued his motion to try the ouster suit in the Montgom ery district court instead of the 'au preme court, but this motion was over ruled. Mr. Stanford while here also filed the statement with the tax commission of the taxable property of the. Wichita Gas company. This company, which has a large number of big gas wells in Montgomery county and supplies gas to tne western part or the state, turn ed in property holdings to the amount of $830,420.

Large, fluffy loaves looking to the price rather ihan the quality. But in a sane moment it occurred to us that bread was really bought to be eaten; that people eat bread for the nourishment they get from it that the size and appearance of a loaf is given very little consideration. What people really want is a good bread. Thvn we began the manufacture of WESTON BPEAD. A "common sense" bread the most; "uncommon" bread ever offered a buying public. In the manufacture of WESTON BREAD we looked to quality not price; to nutriment, not size. The result--a perfect bread. And that is just what WESTON BREAD is: A perfect bread in every sense of the word; a bread that contains the highest percentage of nutriment, a bread that not only satisfies the palate, but the demands of the system as well. If you have never tried WESTON BREAD buy a loaf today. It costs a dime but it's worth it.

The March bulletin of the state board of health was issued by the printer today and is one of the most I timely and interesting of any edition during the five years of its existence. It deals with contagious diseases, the food and drug question, the state wa- I ter survey, prosecutions under the 'new food and drug, laws, new legisla tion and the public drinking cups. The last subject is timely in view of the recent discussion between the state board of health and the railroad board over whether or not the com mon drinking cup should be abolished from railroad trains of the state. The I article, written by a scientific expert, i says in part: j "Professor Davison, of Lafayette college, requested ten boys to apply j the upper lip to. pieces of flat, clean t glass in ihe tame way -as-they would touch a cup in drinking.. 'These glass slips were, then given a thorough microscopic examination, and they showed an average of about 100 hu- man cells or minute bits of skin and' 75,000 bacteria to each slip. This from i one application to the Hp. "Going a step further. Professor! Davison took a thin drinkiner elass. which for nine days had. been in com-, mon use in the school. Bv countlner the cells present on 1 flftv different i areas on the glass he estimated that the cup contained over 20.000 cells or Dits or dead, skin- Few of these show- ed less than 10 germs clinging to j them, and many as high as 150, while between the- cells were thousands of germs left by the smears of saliva de positee oy tne drinkers. "A cup which had been used in a high school for several months with out being washed was lind inairia with a brownish deposit. Under the microscope this Droved posed of particles of mud. thousands of bits of dead skin and millions of bacteria, among which were scores of germs corresponding in all details to those of tuberculosis. Some of this sediment was-injected under the skin of a healthy guinea-pig, and in forty hours the animal died. A post-mortem examination revealed that death was due to the presence of a sufficient lumuer or pneumonia germs to cause blood poisoning. A second Ruinea-nla- 1 with the cur sedimant tuberculosis."

When the trial of Mrs. George Sampson, charged-with the murder of her husband, Harry Sampson, was resumed today. District Attorney Gilbert outlined the case of the prosecution. Mrs. Carrie LeClaire, of Chicago, sis ter of the defendant, arrived today. Mr. Gilbert declared that such a wound as that which caused Sampson's death could not have been self-inflicted. Concerning the motive Mr. Gilbert said there would be evidence concern ing a letter which had been sent to Mrs. Sampson but found by her hus band who told his father-in-law that he would not live with Mrs. Sampson any longer. On the nignt before the shooting Mr. Gilbert said there was a quarrel over one of the letters and Sampson and his wife had frequent quarreU over her numerous trips away from home. Mr. Gilbert asserted that Sampson made a will at the solicita tion of his wife, making her the sole beneficiary of his estate. The nrst witness for the state was Charles W. Van Buren, an architect, who identified a map and plan of the Allyn homestead. Dr. George T. Ycrka. who performed the autopsy on the body of Harry Sampson, testified that he found no powder marks thereon. The physician noted long scratches about the wound and across the chest.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J OURNAtr- TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1909. 1" f 1 V 1 I f 1 .A ti A m isr v w rr AFTER "BOXING" CLUBS. Governor Hughes Is Scheduled to Clash Soon. New York, April 6. New York's many "fight clubs" which have for some time past conducted bouts up to ten rounds practically unmolested, under the name of athletic clubs, to which members only are admitted, to "boxing exhibi tions" are to have a clash with Gov ernor Hughes. Sporting men who re call the governor's vigorous fight against racing are wondering what will happen If he carries out the crusade which he has in mind. Under the present laws the police are almost powerless, but the governor. It Is understood, is preparing to bring about the passage of legislation which will place the authorities in a more advantageous position. He has been In communication with both Commission er of Police Bingham and District At torney Jerome. Mr. Bingham has here tofore said that the present law vir tually bars police interference and that It is impossible to procure convictions even if ajrrests are made, because the magistrates-and judges almost invaria bly hold that sparring contests are le gal. A letter from the commissioner was sent to Albany yesterday and while it has not been made public, it is be lieved to contain recommendations for new legislation. Mr. Jerome, when seen yesterday, paid that he was not officially aware that prize fights were being held in the citv. "But." he added, "if they want to stop sparring they can enact a law to make it a crime to spar in public. And if the legislature wants to leave spar ring open as a manly exercise and still prevent public exhibitions, let them enact a law to prohibit sparring before more than 25 persons where a fee is charged. Such a law would not pre vent boxing In a gymnasium but it would knock out those bouts which are evading the law." To Governor Hughes several sugges tions for revising the legislation have Tbeen made, one of which is to amend the membership corporation law so that no one could become a member of an athletic club until after his name had been posted for at least a month. An other, and one which Mr. Bingham is tiaid to favor, would be legislation mak ing it a misdemeanor for any person or membership corporation to hire any one to give a sparring exhibition, or to give any kind of reward for partici pation in such an encounter. At pres ent the fighters are hired to box be fore the club. The police last night gave a shock to the Marathon Athletic club in Brook lyn by arresting two fighters, their handlers and the ring officials after a ten round bout, but whether this action "has anything to do with the governor's contemplated campaign is not known. At any rate there is uneasiness among the fight promoters. Prizes for Year Old Babies. Chicago, April 6. Prof. Clarence D. Lane, assistant chief of the dairy division of the department of agricul ture at Washington, has made a sug gestion to the City club that the may or offer prizes, to be paid in gold, for each baby which reaches the age of one year. Pure milk is the fubject which led to the advice.

Sparklers Are Idkelv to Become a Drug on the Market. New York, April 6. Unless steps are taken to control the diamond out put in Brazil, the price of these gema will decrease appreciably and serious ly affect the market, according to "W. G. Meyer, who arrived in New York yesterday on the steamship Verdi, from South American ports. Mr. Meyer, who is credited with owning considerable mining property in Bra zil, said: "There are too many diamonds and too many small companies operating and unless there is some measure to consolidate these interests and control the output, diamonds will soon be as cheap as quartz crystals. The bed of the Rio Jequitinhunha contains the washings of centuries of the moun tains and plateaus rich with precious and semiprecious stones, gold and platinum. The diamonds found are worth forty to sixty per cent more than the Kimberly .gems because of their great hardness." CAR CABLE BREAKS. Two Killed and Six Injured In Acci dent on an Incline. Pittsburg. April 6. Two boys were killed and six other persons injured. several seriously, early today when a car on the St. Clair incline, running from Josephine street, south side to Mount Oliver, broke about the center of the incline and plunged to the bot tom. The dead: ARTHUR MILLER, 16 years old. glass worker. ALBERT KLENBERGER, 15 years old. glass worker. The six injured were all glass work ers. Griff Davis sustained a crushed arm and amputation was necessary. When the accident occurred the car was halt way up the incline. Sudden ly the cable broke and the car rushed backward running to the foot of the hill where it plunged into the frame station at the bottom, wrecking it. The car waa smashed and its occu pants buried beneath the wreckage of the station. FOR LIBERAL SUNDAY. League Is Formed by Vanderbilt, Belmont and Others. New York. April 6. Men of promi nence including Alfred G. Vanderbilt, August Belmont and others, are ident ified with the Liberal Sunday league, the governors of which held a meet ing here yesterday. The league was only recently incorporated with a view to bringing about a more liberal interpretation of the Sunday laws and having Sunday declared a legal holi day in this state. At the meeting of the governors the following platform was adopted: The members of the league, realiz ing that the blue laws founded on the English common laws, have long ceased to be effective and recognizing that the men and women of the twen tieth century have outgrown the pas sive submission to dictation which seeks to make all follow the path laid down for them by zealots, have or ganized as a tribune before which the people may lay their ideas, express their preferences and record their judgment.

Herington Teacher Says He Was Only Detained by Business. Imri Zumwalt, the Herington teach er who disappeared, has returned to his duties. Mr. Zumwalt denies the report that he engaged in a row with the parties who hit him and says that the brake man struck him without the least provocation whatever. He claims to have had his hands in his overcoat pockets when he was hit and he could not defend himself. The entire story of the affair was secured at Herington by a State Jour nal reporter and the affair was as given out by the Herington police, the Rock Island officials and the people interested in the school end of the disappearance. It was known at Herington that Zumwalt had trouble with the railroad men over the baseball game the day before when he fired some of the men from the grounds for refusing to pay the price of admission. It was also a known fact that he started for the train as stated and he was seen in a fistic combat with Collins, the brake man who is charged with the assault. The result of the battle was never known on account of the actions of the men and late Sunday night no one had heard of or seen Zumwalt, the principal of the high school. His place at the high school had been taken by the superintendent. Naturally after the report of the as sault and the disappearance of the school principal there was consider able anxiety in the city concerning his whereabouts. It was three days after the happening Sunday night that the reporter for the State Journal gained the facts from those concerned and the story was printed yesterday. Zumwalt says in his denial that he was detained in Kansas City and Bon ner Springs on business and never thought that his disappearance was surmised. He also claims to have been in Topeka for awhile on Sunday evening. It has developed that he stopped over in this city waiting for the midnight Rock Island train going west to Herington. In speaking of the matter Zumwalt said: "That part of the State Journal article which stated that I had en gaged in a row with the party that struck me is entirely wrong. I had my overcoat buttoned tightly around me and my hands were in my pocket when I was struck on the side of the head. I said nothing to the man be fore he struck me and I did not ag gravate him in anv way. Of course in interviewing the bystanders a reporter might get the impression that I had Instigated the whole matter probably they were as anxious for the fight as the man himself." Since his reappearance In Herington Zumwalt has prepared to swear out a warrant for the arrest of the parties concerned in the assault. His bruises consist in a cut on the lip and a num ber of bruises on the head. FATHER OF ELEVEN. Arrested for False Registration and Illegal Voting. Chicago, April 6. When a detective went to arrest F. E. Buenger he was confronted by such a drove of child ren that he stepped to the door of the nearest neighbor to inquire whether he was at the right place or had struck an orphan asylum. "The house number is correct." he said, "but there is a mistake some where or else there is a family re union in session.' Buenger, who is 65 years old. has eleven children. He was arrested on two charges, one of illegal voting and one of false registration. He appeared before Municipal Judge Hume and the caee was continued until April 13. Buenger was unable to furnish bail and was sent to the county jail. Boise Wins Water Company Suit. Washington, April 6. The case of the uwvj wiu v titer company against Boise City.

NO SPECIAL SESSION. Would lie Impossible to Meet Government Objections. Attorney General Jackson Is Greatly Disappointed. The invasion of Washington by the Kansas state officials in the interest of the national banks joining the guaranty association was repulsed at every point and with severe losses to the besiegers. The eastern idea pre vails while the western ism is recog nized only in the west. The nice re ception given the Kansans by the ad ministration and the kind words of brotherly love and promises of fair play were only roses which turned to ashes in their hands. Governor Stubbs, who remained in Washington to learn the worst, learn ed it last night and wired his private secretary in Kansas as follows: "Attorney general has decided that national banks cannot participate without an act of congress." A special session of the legislature to amend the law as outlined by the smooth talking but hard hearted Mr. Wickersham, attorney general for the United States, is now out of the ques tion, and a ruling of the Kansas su preme court to interpret the meaning of the law is now a vain thing. Mr. Wickersham said all the nice things he could think of about the Kansas law and then he hammered that law on the head with a brickbat until life was extinct. The Kansans made a good fight but, in the light of Wickersham's ruling, they never had a chance at any stage of the game. They were rank outsiders. Last week's reception at Washington was only the sugar coating that hid the poison in the pill prepared for them. President Taft told his visitors that they should have a fair trial without prejudice. Wickersham, the trial judge, told them that they had made a strong case and that only one little point interfered with their winning a signal victory. But when the Kan sans agreed to remedy the only de fect pointed out in their law the at torney general ruled that their entire law should go to the junk heap so far as official Washington is concerned. The only chance now for national banks of this state to guaranty de posits is by the organization of a de posit insurance company, and it 13 likely that this will be done. While the Kansans were in Wash ington they were told by the govern ment officials that their law was O. K. in every particular except that sec tion which provided that the state bank commissioner should take charge of the affairs' Of failed national banks. The government would not stand for any one. but the comptroller of the currency taking charge of the affairs of a national bank. Governor Stubbs had agreed to call a special session of the legislature to remedy this defect in the law. But the' final ruling of the attorney general was not In keeping with his assertions directly after the conference. He was just playing with the westerners. Attorney General Jackson and Bank Commissioner Dolley. who came back from Washington, Sunday, were very confident Monday that they would get a favorable verdict In the case, basing their hopes on the assertions of Presi dent Taft and Wickersham, his attor ney general. Mr. Jackson was in dignant over the matter and spoke plainly as follows: "I believe now as I have believed all along- that the adverse decision is not based upon law, but upon pre judice against the guaranty idea. That is all the grouijd there can be. The east and the federal officials as a rule are opposed to the guaranty idea and that, I believe. Is responsible for this decision. I may have more to say later, but not now." Mr. Dolley bowed to the storm, speaking as follows regarding the ad verse ruling of the smooth talking of Mr. (Wickersham: "I must confess I am surprised. J believed that the decision would be favorable to Kansas. There is nothing whatever to be done now. I was satisfied-that if the federal officials decided against us at all they would decide in the manner they have; that an act of congress would be neces sary. That precludes any possibility of "remedying matters by the calling of a special session- of the legislature. So far as I know there is nothing to do but wait for congress to act."

More than 600 raloons and ten breweries will be forced out of business in the 19 counties of the state which voted "dry" at yester day's election. Returns late last night, gave the "drys" 20 of the 27 counties In which the liquor question was voted upon, but later figures swing Owosso county, which has 17 saloons Into the "wet" column by 172 majority. In the eight counties which the liquor inter ests carried, there are 300 saloons giv ing the anti-saloon league victory over two-thirds of the saloons which they attacked. The slender majority of 41 votes which the drys received in Jackson county, where there Is a population of 47,000, indicates the bitterness of the fisht. A recount is considered a certainty ir. this county. Washtenaw, Berren, Monroe and Ottawa counties were the four big "wet" victories.

THEY WANT CONCRETE BRIDGES. Willlamsport Township Sends Petition to County Commissioners. The county commissioners have received a petition from farmers in Willlamsport township who want- a concrete arch bridge constructed over the Wakarusa. The commissioners will Investigate the cost of concrete construction, but are not in favor of the movement without some convincing figures. Commissioner Shinier is In favor of moving an iron bridge in that vicinity to Johnson's Ford, a point where a bridge is most needed. The bridge in question Is in good condition, and is not extensively used. The commis sioners inspected the Wakarusa a few days ago, and are familiar with the pro position. An attempt was made during the last session of legislature to make it com pulsory for county commissioners to con struct concrete arch bridges when the cost of construction was not more than 15 per cent higher than the best bids for steel construction, but the bill failed to pass. Bridge experts claim that the cost of concrete bridges depend almost entirely upon the location and the facili ties for getting material on the grounds. OH TO MESSINA. (Continued from Page One.) watch the caravan of publicity pass," Is the way one of the papers describes Mr.- Roosevelt's journey, to East Africa. A majority of the French corre spondents sent to Naples to chronicle their impressions of Mr. Roosevelt say the former president of the United States is absorbed in himself. They describe his cabin as filled with his books and littered with photographs of himself and members of his family. They say the object not relating to Mr. Roosevelt himself in his cabin was a photograph of Emperor Wil liam, bearing the imperial signature in green ink. Mr. Roosevelt talked "freely, but principally about himself and his work, the' correspondents say, and he manifested a disposition to "preach." In his conversation he touched upon his Knickerbocker ancestry and his experiences as a ranchman in the far west. Turning to politics he said he had been elected to the presidency as a representative of honesty .against the power of gold. "I have always maintained that pro bity in private life is indispensable to public life," Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as saying. "I have fought the oil kings and the steel emperors; they tried to break my back, but my back is still intact" Human Bones Dng Up. New York, April 6.

Nothing 'in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the marvelous skin remedy kown as pos lam, which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin dis eases than any remedy ever offered for these ills. The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear almost immediately -when poslam is applied, the complexion be ing cleared overnight.' Every druggist keeps both the 50 cent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 Jar, and either of these may be ob tained in Topeka at Fred A. Snow's as well as other reliable drug stores. But no one is even asked to pur Chase poslam without first obtaining an experimental package which will be sent by mall, free of charge, upon request, by the Emergency Labora tories. 32 West Twenty-fifth street.

The volcano was emitting an imposing col umn of smoke that rose high into the brilliant sky.

Suss man of Toledo, Ohio, for Full Information. There are undoubtedly many frauds in the testimonials of medical firms letters written by friends or even em ployes of the advertiser. But on the other' hand, in some cases the testi monials are thoroughly genuine, glad ly offered by prominent citizens, who are grateful for the cure. Such a case is that of Robt. Suss man, a well known furrier of Toledo, Ohio, who for years suffered with a severe case of eczema. He described his case as almost un endurable. About five years ago he was induced to try the oil of winter green compound known as D. V. T. Prescription for eczema sufferers. He has gone out of his way to find suffer ers and to tell them of this remedy. He has done this without pay, of course, and without even having been requested to do so by the D. D. D Company. It. was simply the fact that hU health, his very life, had been re stored that made him so enthusiastic. Mr. Sussman recently wrote a letter offering to write to any eczema suffer er and to describe his- case.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTOHAL-.TUESDAY EVENING, APKUL. e, i903. TO THEJ3ESSIAH. Musical Festival Is Now at Its Height at Lindsborg. Special Trains Carry Thousands to Swedish Music Center. FAME FOR L1NDSB0RG. Easter Sunday Will Call for the Best Effort of Singers. Chorus Consists of More Than 550 Trained Voices. The Messiah, the musical festival which has made the name of IJnds borg, Kan., known the world around. Is being given for the twenty-seventh time this week and the attendance so far has exceeded that of last year. Special trains have been run from various directions and they are crowd ed with the music lovers of the state who usually make the trip to Linsborg to hear the Messiah. The chorus this year numbers more than 650 voices and the singing is tetter than it has ever been in the past- Nowhere on earth is the Mes siah sung in the same reverential and Inspiring way as at Lindsborg and the fame of the town and singers has been scattered broadcast to the four winds. Originally it was given as a devotional exercise and as an offering of thanks for the freedom and pros perity which has been bestowed upon the Swedish colony which exists about the little city of Llndsborg. The Swedish people as well as oth rs sincerely love the music of the Messiah and are faithful in their at tendance at each annual rendition. Iso one however indifferent to music can listen to this beautiful rendition with out being greatly impressed with the Sincerity of those participating. No applause is permited but some how the impression made upon one does not demand a wild outburst of appreciation but rather a quiet recep tion of all that is beautiful in the song end story- Each year hundreds of former pupils o'l Bethany college re turn to Undsbcrg in the spring to wit-ness-the rendition of the Messiah which to them has a peculiar sacred ness. Fred B. Clark of McPherson, cousin of Elon S. Clark of Topeka, write in regard to the "Messiah" week at Lindsborg ending next Sunday, April 11: "I am mailing you 'Messiah' booklet, and want you to come to IJndsborg for the Messiah Friday evening of this week or next Sunday. The chorus and soloists are all doing splendid work, but Barnhart outclasses the whole show. His great voice could be heard above the entire chorus and orchestra, and was an inspiration to chorus, orchestra and audience. He not only sang his solos, but sang in all of the choruses, and they could not veem to give him enough to do. His, without doubt, is the greatest tenor voice that has been heard in Kansas, ind has only been equaled by such artists as Nordica and Gadski In the state. "The Musical American of New Tork city has written for a write up of the 'Messiah' with especial refer ence to Barnhart. "If Barnhart does not sweep your amotions, as they have seldom been touched, I'll pay your expenses to Lindsborg." The soloists this year are Mrs. Mary Holmes Thompson of Chicago, a lyric soprano of pleasing voice and person ality; Mrs. Bertha Swenseon Vestllng, daughter of the late Dr. Carl Swens eon, founder of Bethany college and the "Messiah" festivals, contralto; Harry H. Barnhart. tenor. New York citv. and Albert H. Borroff, a fine basso of Chicago. Each was satisfy ing, Mr. Borroff particularly so; but however good the soloists they never will outrank the festival chorus, which gives to the IJndsborg festival its greatest and most peculiar value. Every afternoon and night the re mainder of this week, and including next Sunday, there will be special concerts in the college chapel or the festival auditorium by the soloists now there, the members of the college faculty, the Bethany orchestra and the Bethany band, but the big events win be the second singing of the "Mes siah" Friday night, Mendelssohn's "Elijah" Sunday afternoon and the "Messiah" for the last time Sunday night.

Stole From Benefactors Who Would Help Her. She, With Two Brothers, Will Be Tried as Incorrigibles. A 14-year-old girl, Alice Gano, hand some but extremely illkempt, has been checked in a life of shame and snatch ed from a rogue's detaining arm, by Patrolman Fribance, who took her to the tenderloin department of the prison whence she has been referred to the juvenile officer, with the city Mission rooms as a meeting place. Alice and her chums have long been seen to go out with toughs of the lower end to the great anxiety of the Christian workers. Whether home influence or invironment is at fault is not stated by those interested In the case. The home is at 614 Lime street and the father works in the shops. The family has been partially dependent on the Provident Association during the win ter. The mother is wholly incapable of handling the five children of whom Alice is the eldest and claims to be sick at most times. It was the inten tion of the Provident people to get em ployment for Alice but even at the As sociation building she proved dishon est, confiscating the milk money from the pantry, and before that theft had been traced to her, had gone to work at a home where she started away with many silk underskirts under her own and other articles stuffed in her waist, seeming so transformed in figure that the matron upon examination had to partially disrobe the girl and further more refuse her employment. Thus ended the honest employment of Alice, for she does not work at home. being found upon many occasions sit ting on the floor reading yellow back novels. Her companions are little older than herself and quite as incorrigible. The mother upon being told about her daughter's thieving expressed no sur prise and apparently disregarded it en tirely, nor does she see to her daugh ter's whereabouts before nor after nightfall. The family has been in the city two years, coming from Missouri. Four of the children were brought up to the station to Mrs. Thorpe yesterday, all said to be incorrigible, upon com plaints unnumbered from the truancy officer, the father once tried to take the twin boys, Ivan and Iran, to school but they broke away from him and fled to their own wilds and they are but 10 years old. The home, the beds. and all are the abode of filth and un- cleanliness which startles the charita' ble visitor by the supposed impossi Mlity of such an existence in the sur rounding comparative neatness. The three older children must all stand trial for the reformatories to morrow before Judge Schoch. Beloit is the- only hope for the girl as the cir cumstances are viewed by the authori ties of young degeneracy and she must be removed from her present environ ment. "Gladness" has fallen into the Eaton crook sanitarium. "Gladness." whose other name, used by his grandmother, is Robert, was yesterday surprised with others in a game of craps in the Shaw pool hall on East Fourth street by Patrolman Leach. "Halt all, you are under arrest," was the cue for "Gladness" to exit but he was seen to vanish and was brought back later on. Dan Butler charged with running the place and James Morris charged with being found in were taken to the sta tion and released upon bond. Robert O'Brlan, alias "Gladness," was brought before the judge this morning smiling and scattering his good will through out the court room, "is your name Robert O'Brlan," asked the judge. "It am. Sir," answered the polished ebony countenance showing a doi'ble line of ivory whose whiteness exaggerated by the setting was only equalled by the corresponding glint from the white of his eye which accompanied each ex pansion of the pork chop shute. "But you have another name that people know you by do you not?" "Tas Sir, they calls me 'Gladness' every where I goes." "Oh, 'Gladness' but why that? Cause I never gets mad Judge." said the smiling face and 'Gladness proceeded to tell how he won his name. He never fights he just turns the other cheek when struck a la the Sunday school coach, he says, though he has been In the police sta tion on various charges times un numbered. "Gladness" does not know exactly how old he is doubtless "Gladness" has been In the old world since its es tablishment but his mother did not mark the first known appearance down, he told the judge, so they Just have to guess at it and by several methods of deduction and induction he is calculated to have been 20 years gladdening the earth. He now dwells with his grandmother at 818 on Lake street and does odd jobs about town picking up nickels and dimes. He had just turned 85 cents over to his grandmother and she returned 10 cents for him to spend as lavishly as he chose so he promptly resorted to the pool room, so he says, to play un til he lost a game and had to pay his dime. Asked if he was not squander ing his money he said: "Oh no, Judge; you see I gets my money in such a 'complicated' way that I never have a great deal on hand." "Have you got enough to pay for a J100 bond?" "No. I'll Jess stay heah till the trial, cause I rests easy heah. I always have," which remark Is no doubt true of any place where "Gladness" rests. "But how will your old grandmother get along while you are here, 'Glad ness.' "Oh she still has that money. and I bought a barrel of coal the other day and she'll live all right till I gets back less you all keeps me heah too long." But "Gladness" professed no know ledge of the game of craps and was left to brighten the prison room un til tomorrow evening when their trial will be held. New Governor for Arizona.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Shawnee County Medical society held at the Throop hotel last night the following resolution relative to juvenile Marathon races was Passed J Resolved, That Lt is the sense of the Shawnee County Medical eociety that the so called Marathon race now be ing agitated and promoted is not to be looked upon with approval by those who have the welfare -of the young participants at heart, but is to be de nounced as leading to possible if not probable irreparable damage to the heart and circulation. There were twenty-seven physician? of the city at the meeting, and three voted against the resolution. Several of the physicians who attended the meeting and approved the resohitlon called attention to the fact that T. M. C A. organizations In the larger cities and the various boards of health had taken decided stands against this practice of making youngsters com pete in a race that was away beyond their power of endurance. The discussion which led to the ex pression of disfavor for Marathon races, was over a case of dilation of the aorta, or principal heart artery. The heart of the subject in question, who was an athlete and strong man, was on exhibition before the doctors. nf strangulation as l lir ui'Wi uuu j a result of over exertion. This led to a general condemnation of the pro posed Marathon race for children scheduled by a local newspaper for advertising purposes. If over exertion -will mm umu m excellent physical condition, at the ..a at,. rf ,3J vpftrs." aid one physician, "it is certainly Injurious to say the least to growing children. Out of the number of boys who will take part in this proposed race, It is hardly probable that at least one of them will not be lnjurea permaneniiy. One doctor expressed his opinions as follows: "We do not mean to take a stand against any newspaper in To peka, but are merely doing our dutyi in looking to the public health of To- peka. I notice in the race which is to be pulled off in Topeka within a short; time that there are a number of boys entered who are under twelve years of age, while two of the boys are only ten years of age. Trained college ath letes, who are in training for months to compete in a race find it difficult to go four or five miles on a running track, and none would attempt to compete in a seven and one-half mile race on country roads. "The chances for permanent injury in these long distance races are in numerable. The heart and the great aorta are placed under a tremend ous strain, from which very few can recover. I think the authorities should take the matter in hand and try to stop the proposed race." Among the doctors who were pres-1 ent at the meeting were: Drs. R. E. McVey, O. P. Davis, D. E. Esterly, R. S. Magee, A. B. Jeffrey, W. D. Storrs, W. A. Wehe, M. A. Millard J. N. Beasley, M. R. Mitchell, L. A. Ryder, Ida L. Barnes, W. W. Yates, T. P. Martin, F. J. Ernest, J. B. Tower, M. C. Porter, S. A.

NOT AN ACTOR. Was Simply Roustabout With Paul Gilmore Company. To the Editor of the State Journal: A copy of the Topeka State Journal of March 11, 1609, came to our hands in Spokane and I was very sorry to see such an account dealing with our company as was under "Police Jot tings." telling of the pranks of Henry Shafer. I simply want to correct the state ment as regards to the company, who feel greatly chagrined over the affair. Now to dwell on Henry Shafer. He was simply a roustabout with this company. He was taken on by the stage carpenter in Texas out of pure pity. He stated that he wanted to get to Salt Lake City and put up a hard luck story, consequently the carpenter took him on. He handled trunks, shifted r.cenery and labored at what ever rough work there was to do. He was positively not any actor. A per son's own good judgment would tell him that this Shafer was no actor and furthermore he did not play the part of Doc Stuart. The part Was played in Topeka by Sydney Powers, who also played Beauty and as he was doubling he took Shafer's name. The part was taken at Topeka by a Topeka boy. Mr. Shafer was discharged at Kan sas City after stealing over $50 from this troupe. He pllferred the dressing rooms each night and was not sus pected of it until he began riding around in hacks, etc., as the account says. We knew then that he was get ting money some place, as his salary was a mere pittance. We searched his suit case at Kansas City and found it full or small articles belonging to members of the company. We did not prosecute, but simply discharged him. I am sending this paper to the Mil waukee police, as he is liable to show up there. He claims that as his home. I have also written to the Brunswick hotel in regard to the mat ter. I shall do all in my power to bring him to Justice. I wish you would correct the State ment in your next Issue in regard to this matter and exonerate our com pany as to the matter and I assure you it will be appreciated by each member of my staff of actors.
