Abdul II amid II Arrested In His Own Palace And Taken Across the Bosphor us Into Asia. A BROTHEK SUCCEEDS Jlehemuied Reschad Effendi Ascends th& Throne. Fifty Turkish Officers Arrested by Their Troops. Constantinople, April 27. Abdul Ha mid, II., sultan of Turkey, was today deposed from the throne of the Otto man empire by his subjects for his interference -with the progress of pop ular government under the constitution granted by him last July and his brother, Mehemmed Reschad Effendi now occupies the throne. This change was decided upon by the national assembly without a dissenting Voice and it was carried out with the utmost rapidity. The sultan is now ft prisoner in the hands of the young Turks and carefully guarded by his captors. Mehemmed Rest-had Effendi. Will Re Proclaimed Sultan Who The formal decree removing Abdul Hamid from all power of the Turkish mpire was issued by the Sheik-ul-Islam, the head of the church In the regular form prescribed by the tenets of the Mohammendan faith. The city of Constantinople is alive with excitement and throngs fill the streets. A number of arrests have been made, but the change of sovereigns has been effected without disorder of any kind. A salute of 101 guns announcing the end of the reign of Abdul Hanid and the beginning of that of Mehemmed Reschad Effendi was fired at half past 2 o'clock this afternoon. Mehemmed Reschad Effendi was pro claimed as Mehemmed V. Among those who have been arrested under orders of the military dictator- is hop are Prince Sabah Eddine. a nephew of the sultan and all the mem bers of his family. The prince has been a leader of the young Turk party and his apprehension is taken to mean that he has fallen under suspicion. The news of the deposition of Ab dul Hamid and the selection of his brother to succeed him caused great excitement throughout Constantinople. Crowds at once began to gather in the principal squares and thorough fares and around the imperial palace at Ylldiz in anticipation of proclama tion of a new sultan. It is reported here that the sultan has been removed from the imperial palace of Ylldiz and eonveyed across the Bosphorus to a point in Asiatia Turkey. Fifty Turkish officers have been ar rested at Erzeroum by their troops and despatched under escort to Tre bizond. The exact significance of this action is not yet clear, but it is feared it means the beginning of a revolt of the provincial troops against the Young Turk officers. Madu a Prisoner. London. April ?7. A dispatch re ceived here by the Exchange Tele graph company from Constantinople, says that troops under the command of Young Turk officers, entered the sultan's palace last night and took his majesty prisoner. Later, closely guarded, he was removed to the Cher cghan palace, on the Bosphorus. SHY AT MISSIONARIES. Moslem Fanatics Are Afraid lo Kill Foreigners. Constantinople, April 2 7. There is a total of 63 American missionaries in Syria and the Gllician district of the Vnlayet of Adana. where the conflicts between Mohammedans and Armen ians are raging the fiercest. With the exception of D. M. Rogers and Henry Maurer. who were killed at Adana. no one of them, so far. as is known, has been injured. The Mohammedans indulging in massacres and incendiarism, evidently are carefu! to avoid killing foreigners. When in the midst of the fighting and pillaging of Adana. it became known to the Mohammedans that Rogers and Maurer had lost their lives, the fan atics rah away in alarm and practi cally deserted that quarter of the town. The missionaries appear to be in danger only from accident arising from the fact thnt they are in th midst of frightful conflicts a?vl thev bravely seek to protect Christian refu gee. Rev. Stephen, R. Towbridge, of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions, who is stationed at Aintab, was In Adana on the day of the first fighting. In trying to pro tect an Armenian teacher he threw his arms around the man's neck and Interposed his body between him and tig assailants but the Moslems shot the Armenian dead In Mr. Tow bridge's arms." The greatest sympathy is felt here for the American women missionaries who are alone at Hadjin. These women are now said to be Miss Virginia A. Billings of Kirtland, O., Miss Emily E. Richton of Chicago, Miss Rose Lam bert, daughter of Bishop Lambert, and Miss Baldwin. The two last mentioned women were sent out by the Mennonite Brethren in Christ of Ohio. Messrs. Rogers and Maurer were stationed at Hadjin. Christian refugees by the thousands have massed at Hadjin and for 10 days now the town has been threatened by Mohammedans, whose camps complete ly encircle it. General Mahmoud Schefka Fasba, Leader of the Young 'lurk Army. Rev. W. W. Pet. representative in charge of the American board of com- m ssloners for foreign missions, sent a telegram last Sunday to the Rev. H. M. Irwin, at Taias-Cesarea. instructing him to ask for a strong guard of troops and go immediately to Harjin to the assistance of the women. Hadjin is two days journey on horse back from Cesarea. Telegraphic com munication is greatly interrupted and there has been no answer from Mr. Irwin. Today, however. Mr. Pet received a message dated Hadjin Friday, April 23. It says: Our sad condition is unenangea. we fear fire. The people are taking refuge in the churches. The outlook is terri ble." William Chambers, an American mis sionary at Adana, telegraphed Mr. Pet from that place yesterday as follows: "There are terrible fires near the mission on which is in danger." The lack of food, medical help and shelter is great among both Armenians and Mohammedans in the district dis turbed. Mr. Pet has an organization for the distribution of relief if funds are sent to him. WRECKED BY A STORM. Not a Building In Ccntrahoma Escap ed Damage. Oklahoma City, Okla., April 27. One person was fatally injured fifteen others sustained broken limbs and bruises, twelve houses were almost to tally wrecked and every building in the town more or less damaged by a storm of rain and hail and wind, in which a twister was interwoven, that passed over the vicinity of Centra homa. The rain came in torrents re sembling a cloudburst and the streets of the town were filled with water and debris from the. wrecked houses, fences and other movable objects. The little child of Rev. E. J. Matthews was fatally injured when the Matthews home was demolished, and Mrs. Matthews and her eldest daughter received serious injuries. Three other children of the family were hurt. Lee Grist had his collar bone brok en and about ten other persons were slightly bruised. Centrahoma is in Coal county and has a population of 600 to $00 peo ple. Not a building in the town re mains wholly intact. The storm came from the west and dipped in cyclone fashion as it struck the town. After going eastward it again arose high into the air and evi dently spent its force a few miles away. The wind blew a gale of probably 85 miles an hour. The storm lasted but a few minutes but torrents of rain and hail fell as if scooped out from a vast reservoir in the clouds. It arose without warning and was over before the inhabitants could fully realize what had happened. The store of A. L. Kirby, general merchandise dealer, was totally demolished, the contents falling in a heap with the wreck of the building. The Odd Fellows building was com pletely wrecked and walls of the brick bank building were seriously dam aged. The Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches are total wrecks. A cotton gin and the farm ers union warehouse were among the buildings that are nearly total losses. The total loss is estimated at $10,000 in the business district. The. damage to stock and buildings will be several times this amount. GOTCH AFTER ANOTHER. Seattle Wants Champion to Meet Hat'kenst'limidt at Exposition. Kansas City. April 27. Frank Gotch, world's champion wrestler, has received and is considering an offer to meet George Hackenschmidt at the Seattle exposition for the champion ship. Gotch and Dr. Benjamin F.

The horse he was driving be came frightened at an electric car. and in plunging- overturned the buggy, throwing Mr. Dean to the ground. The attending physician says the in jured man will be obliged to remain in bed for several days. tip DO NOrUKE IT, Montgomery County People Ex cited 0?er New Bond Law. Claim That It Is in Interest of the Brokers. OBJECT TO PROVISION Makes No Arrangement for Pay ment of Bonds. Was Prepared by the Judiciary Committee of House. Montgomery county is greatly ex cited over the recent action of its county commissioners, who at a re cent meeting decided to take ad vantage of the law passed by the last legislature and liquidate the county's outstanding warrants in the sum of $260,000 in the form of refunding bonds. These bonds are to bear four and one-half per cent interest and run for a period of not less than thirty years. It is the fact that no payments on the principal are provided for in this bond Issue that has excited the Montgomery county people, who are indignant alike at the commissioners for acting under the new law and the legislature for passing such a law, which they claim is solely in the in terest of the bond buyers and forces the people to pay the freight. It has been figured out that the people of the county will have to pay $301,500 in interest on the $260,000 indebted ness. Had the lobby for some bond house drawn up the law referred to it could not have written more strongly in favor of the bond companies and against the interest of the people. This law authorizes boards of county commissioners of the various counties of Kansas to Issue bonds for the pur pose of funding the outstanding war rants existing against said counties prior to January 15. 1909. These bonds shall be payable in not less than twenty nor more than thirty years and shall bear not more than five per rent Interest. They shall be registered by the county clerks of the respective counties and not by the state auditor as is the usual case with bond issues. The last section of the bill is the most significant, and reads as follows: "None of the restrictions and limitations contained in any of the statutes of the state of Kansas here tofore enacted shall apply to or in any way affect the issuance of the bonds under this act or of any bonds so issued." This bill, -which was a substitute for house bill No. 760, was prepared by the Judiciary local committee of the house and rushed through on an omnibus during the last hours of the legislature. The Montgomery county case is the first to attract attention to the Iniquities of this law. It gives boards of county commissioners the right to issue bonds to run for thirty years at a high rate of interest with out any payments at all on the prin cipal. In every case the interest will exceed the original amount of the debt and is paying right into the hands of the bond buyers. All the restrictions and safeguards thrown al. out the ordinary bond issue are cut away from this Issue by this law. The bonds are to be registered by the county clerk, so the state auditor cannot step in and protect the county and the people as in the case with other bond issues. Who drew up the bill, how it came to be passed through both houses and signed without its glaring faults be ing noticed is impossible to under stand at this time with the Montgom ery county case staring the state in the face. The Montgomery County Tribune commenting on the proposed bond issue in an extra edition issued solely to cover this case, says: "Last Wednesday evening, after the Tribune had gone to press. Deputy County Clerk Wadman informed us that Commissioners Surber. McGugin and Ashby had decided to issue $260. 000 refunding bonds. "The law under which it was order ed, passed by the last legislature is published elsewhere. "In this article we are not accusing the commissioners of intentional error, only error in acting in too great haste. We have great confidence in the hon esty of the board of commissioners, but do think they, in trying to save 1 per cent interest would tie up the county with endless debt. "The board reports the county war rant debt to be $260,000, at 6 per cent interest. "The law under which they act says: These bonds must run for 20 years and not over 30 years. "Experience and practical business show that such an issue of bonds is not just to the taxpayers. "Under the law there will have to be a sinking fund of $60,000 raised In 20 years of $100,000 in 25 years and of the second $100,000 in 30 years. This sink ing fund means collecting the tax and piling it up to be deposited in bank at 2 per cent, while paying AVt per cent on the bonds, or a loss of 2 per cent on that deal. ,v. "A better way is. don t issue thf: bonds now. Wait two years until the county can get legislation to pay off part of the bonds every year. "Independence city and school dis trict issued their 4 and 5 per cent bonds payable part each year, which sold at a premium. Montgomery coun ty never defaulted interest or premium and its bonds are as good as govern ment bonds. Pay interest and $5,000 to $10,000 ever year "or more after ten years, and the taxpayers can save $100,000 in interest. "When the bonds are issued advertise them for sixty to ninety days: notify all the bond buying brokers so as to get competition and a premium. Ar range the letting ot contracts so that Svcamore. Cherokee and Parker town ships and any executor, administrator, or any citizen of the county can buy $500 to $1,000 bonds or more and leave as much interest as possible at home. "The law was omnibussed through the legislature in the closing hours of the session, without members hav ir? time to consider or discuss it, and is in favor of bond buying firms. The commissioners acted under this law. It is a bad law." John T. White of Ada. the new state grain Inspector, has been going care fully over the work of his "office the past few weeks and has come to the conclusion that the grain inspectors are being: influenced by the big' grain dealers of the state. He is going to reorganize the entire department about July 1 when the new wheat begins to come in. Speaking of the situation Mr. White said: "I have found several instances of bulldozing by grainrnea." said Mr. White. "Some of these fellows try to persuade the inspectors that wheat is of a certain grade when it is not and I have found a few instances of where the inspectors did not have backbone enough to stand by what they knew to be right. I know of some instances where the gralcmen were allowed to take out some grain, part listed as No. 2 and part as So. .3, when it was all bad wheat. 'What I desire to do is to find men that know wheat, who when they in spect a car will say what grade it is, and there will be no further argument. I need men that will stand by what they grade and will not permit argu ments or bulldozing methods. Some of the grainmen will i try all sorts of schemes, but I am going to try to get men that will not listen to them and who will say, 'this wheat is a certain grade and there is no use arguing about it any longer. COOPERS APPEAL Their Motion for a New Trial Is Overruled. Nashville, Tenn, April 27. Judge Hart today overruled the' motion for a new trial in the Cooper murder case and an appeal was taken to the Tennessee supreme court. The defendants were in court early, Mrs. Lucius Burch coming, in with her father and brother. The colonel ap peared in excellent spirits. Robin was pale and ill at ease. Judge Hart's opinion was brief. He said: "The motion in the case of the state against D. B. and Robin Cooper is now before the court. After giving due and careful consideration to all the reasons assigned in the motion, the court is of the opinion that there is not ground for setting aside the verdict of the jury and therefore the motion is overruled." "We will pray for an appeal to the supreme court," said Judge Ander son, "and waive formal sentence." "It is granted," replied Judge Hart. "We ask for time to perfect our ap peal and that the bond be fixed," said Anderson. "The bond will remain the same," announced the court. "About the time to prepare a bill of exceptions, I suggest that as the time ends next Saturday, you have the bill ready." The defense objected and demanded 30 days. After a wrangle the court said: "Let us put it over until next Saturday and take it up then." The same bondsmen qualified. Af ter court adjourned Judge: Hart com mented to some friends upon the fact that the killing of Ike Morse today by a young woman, who charges that he had abandoned her,- was the tenth murder in this -fcdtinty since the Cooper trial began on. January 20, and makes 29 murder cases now on the county docket. ANOTHER MARATHON. International Match May 8 for Purse of $10,000. New York. April 27.

W est Virginia Senator Willing to Talk to Empty cnairs. Washington. April 27. "Mr. Presi dent, I do not wish the senate called to order," said Senator Scott, West "Virginia, upon beginning his speech on the tariff today when Vice Presi dent Sherman undertook to maintain quiet in the chamber. "I do not ex pect this argument to change a vote,' added Mr. Scott, "and consequently, I am entirely indifferent whether sena tors retire "to the lobby or indulge in conversation, because I do not care whether they listen to my remarks or not." "The chair does care," replied Mr. Sherman. Mr. Scott's remarks were listened to by many senators, who gave htm strict attention. Ha advocated pro tection. DIVIDED $10,000,000.

Te Could Have Sent the Price Up to SI. 50. HIGH PRICE OF BREAD And Probable Sufferings of the Poor Consumers Led Her to Persuade Him to Close Out. New York. April 27. Fear that his hold on the wheat market would be broken did not induce James A. Pat ten to get out of the market, nor was it that he was satisfied with his profit. He closed out his holdings, according to a story in Wall street, because his na aesirea mm to do so. Both Patten and his wife are in tensely reliai OU9 nri nnniMl miloh Km. and money in church work. When airs. ratten saw the newspaper stories about the increase in the price of bread and Tpri tHat tin,, hue.,.. was blamed for this, she realized the sufferings brought upon the poor and it is saia. persuaded Mr. Patten to close out his speculations in wheat. Experts here say that Patten could have sent the price of wheat to $1.50 had he so desired. They therefor credit the story of Mrs. Patten's in terference. Bakers Denonnee Him. New York, April 27. The Journey men Bakers and Confectioners In ternational union has issued an official denunciation of James A.

With counsel for the defense demanding an immedi ate trial and the prosecution alleged to be in favor of its postponement, the time for the trial of Mrs. James H. Boyle on a charge of kidnaping Willie Whitla is still undetermined, though Boyle's case will be heard next Friday. It is alleged that the Pennsylvania officials are postponing the trial against the woman to ecure lacking information.- Special detectives are known to be working at Cleveland, Chicago and Jefferson City, Mo. It is said an at tempt will be made to continue the case against the woman until next June. It is also asserted that should such an attempt be made the Cleveland authorities, through proceedings in ha- teas corpus will demand possession of the woman. If she can not be held in Ohio for child stealing. It is said she can be held for harboring a child. A matter which may postpone the trial of Mrs.' Boyle has developed. The indictment against the woman desig rates her as a spinster and also states that the kidnaping was committed on April 17 Instead of March 18. It Is un decided whether the indictment is im properly drawn. Should such be th? case, Mrs. Boyles' case will have to come before the Juno grand jury be fore she can be tried. The expense of the case is creating a sentiment in the country which would not be offended were the women turned over to the Ohio authorities. Mrs. Boyle has given out a statement asserting that she had been brought up according to the strict tenets of the church of her parents and that pub lished stories as to her having been married to several different men were untrue.

MAYENDONJUNEI Leaders Think Congress Will Adjourn Then. Expect to Reach Tote on Tariff Bill May 15. THEN TO CONFLUENCE Believed Agreement Can Be Reached Without Difficulty. Brlstow Speaks His First Word in the Senate. Washington, D.'c. April 27. When will congress adjourn? That Is the question many senators and repre sentatives are trying to answer, but their prophecies date all the way from the last of May to the middle of July. Chairman Aldrich, of the senate) finance committee, and other Repub lican leaders are expressing the hope that a vote can be taken on the tariff bill May 15. This would give two weeks for the bill to go to conference, and allot; congress to close June 1. Others say the vote will be -delayed until the first of June, and that the senate and house conferees will spend a month agreeing on the amendments to the bill, still others contend the thing is all up in the air, and assert that the greater part of the summer will be taken up with the measure. Senator Cullom, who has been one of the most optimistic members of congress about an early adjournment, said in a somewhat disgusted tone yesterday that he knew adjournment could not be taken June 1, and that it might run to August 15. Not since entering the senate has Senator J. L. Bristow uttered a -word on the floor in debate or regular routine business. Today, however, he arose to ask a. few questions re garding the duty on glass. Senator Scott of West Virginia having just finished a speech on the subject. "I was very much Interested in the remarks of the senator from West Virginia in regard to the reduction in the price of glassware," said Mr. Bristow. "He stated that the price of a glass pitcher had been reduced from $4 to $1.25 a dozen." "That," replied Mr. Scott, "is the manufacturers price. You can buy a good pitcher for $1.25 a dozen at the factory.", Mr. Bristow: "This result was at tained, I understand the senator to say, because of 60 per cent had been imposed. I should like to know what were the various processes of the re duction in price. H9w did the duty pply in the manufacture? How was it that the protection resulted in the reduction?" Mr. Scott: "I do not believe that I understand the senator fully. If should go into a discussion of the glass question in its manifold forms and shapes and varities there would be a good many technicalities that I am sure the senator from Kansas, without being familiar with tha manufacture of that article, would not understand. I base the reduction principally upon the difference in the wages paid in Europe and the hours glass blowers are required to work in foreign countries as compared with the wages a man receives and the hours he is compelled to work In this country. "The result in the glass business was brought about the same as it was brought about by the protection that was put on tin. When a glass pitcher cost $4 it was an imported pitcher, because there were scarcely any made in. this country. We could not make them because of the lack of protection, on account of tho wages paid here." Mr. Bristow: "I probably mis understood -what the senator said. My understanding was that the cost of a glass pitcher In the United States had been reduced from $4 to $1.25 a dozen. I did not understand that all the pitchers were Imported and that none were made in the United States.': Mr. Scott: "There were scarcely any made here. They were nearly all imported and they cost anywhere from $3.50 to J,4. As I stated before, if the senator from Kansas goes to a manufacturer making pitchers he can buv a dozen of them, if he is a dealer, "at $1.25 per dozen." Mr. Bristow: "Is that the same kind of a pitcher that was formerly imported?" Mr- Scott: "I do not know that It would be at all enlightening to go into the quality. Some factories make a better quality of glass than others. I am speaking in a general way." The senate has confirmed the ap pointment of William J. Waterbury to be postmaster -at Haven. Kan. Kansas postmaster appointments of the fourth class: Jesse Miller at Beaver View, Rawlins county, vice J. W Lawrence, resigned: Charles L. Rains at Galena; Mary Kelley at Ball. Gove county. Those who endeavored to obtain statehood for New Mexico and Arizona during the last session of congress, but whose efforts failed in the senate, are not relaxing their efforts- preparatory to presenting the subject t the regular session or congress nexi i&n. Congressman Hamilton, of Mich'san. who probably will be chairman of the committee on territories, is having tho department of the interior conduct In vestigations and gather data which will aid in perfecting the land grant clause of the statehood bill which passed tha house at the last session.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURyAT-TUESPXY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1909. READY mOPENIT Season in Western League "Will Be on in 48 Honrs. All the Teams Are in Good Con dition for the Start. BUIttUM THE CHOICE Big Southpaw Will Likely Piteh the First Game. Big Openings Also in Wichita, Denver and Pueblo. Within forty-eight hours the eight teams of the Western league -will be fighting their first battle in the 154 ,'frame contest for the championship of 'the Western league. Tha Western league race ha not always been a close and exciting one, and there have been many times when the pennant was won in a walk. This season, how ever, the greatest race in the history of the league is expected. With eight clubs fighting for the rag, instead of .six, the game ought to attract a wide Interest over the circuit, and the race be accordingly close. Every team in the circuit 1 in good condition and ready to start the bat tle. Lincoln will open" In Topeka; Sioux City in Wichita; Omaha In Den ver and Des Moines in Pueblo. In ev ery city there is expected to be a big opening celebration. In Topeka the opening day festivities will be about as extensive as those in any city in the league. At Wichita a long automobile parade has been arranged, and Pres ident O'Neill will probably be there to open the season. At Denver the fans will have the first opportunity of see ing the Grizzlies in action, as the team has been playing its practice games in Kansas, disappointing the Denver fans to a great extent, but nevertheless, bein the only team in the league to make any money during the exhibition season. At Pueblo the business houses will all close and the mayor will fling the first ball to the plate. The Topeka team in in good condi tion to start the race. The warm weather of the past few days has tak n all the kinks out of the players arms and with some splendid pitch ing to bat against the hitting optics have been adjusted to speed curves, and everything else In a classy pitch ing repertoire. If Burnum is right he will probably be selected to pitch the opening game, at least is the dope today. Burnum Is the best looking left hander on the team, and Lincoln has a. number of left handed hitters. Mc Manus will do the receiving. McMan lis is likely to become the best catcher in the league this season, and he is in better condition than he lias been for years. Cooley will hold down rlrnt, and it is a safe bet that Dick Is in better condition than he was when he was with the big league teams during his closing years in the majors. Kahl will start the season at second. Bob has been showing up pretty well in practice and is hitting the ball good. He is a little uncertain on a plow ground ball, but is working nard to rectify his short comings. At short Kunkel will start the season. The little one has been going great since Joining the team. He has never played shortstop before, but seems to be as much at home a he is on the third sack. Andrews will start oft at third, and If the old physish goes as well as he is starting, the third bag will be well protected all season and Dr. Jay assured of a meal ticket. Ol son and Cullen will both be retained as utility men during the series that will be played on the home grounds. One of them may be cast adrift be fore the trip over the circuit starts May 11. Long. Wooley and Geier will start the season In the outfield. All are fast fielders and If they can keep up the form shown in practice are good hit ters. Fenlon will be retained to keep the bench warm and to do the pinch fritting role as well as act as a sub stitute outfielder. The Topeka team remains at home for twelve games, meeting Lincoln, Floux City, Deg Moines and Omaha in the ordr indicated, for three games each after which the team will leave. The Topeka bunch will leave on May 11, opening in Des Moines May 3 2. and playing four games at every Women Who "Wear Well. It is astonishing bow gnat a change few years of married life often make ia 'the appearance and dlspositkm of many Women. The freshness, the charm, the trillianca vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The natron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which cornea with marriage and motherhood.

The Nervous Collapse "I have traveled for thirty years continually. Most a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a .nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling al together. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me." A. G. C. LIB BY, Wells, Me. There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous pros tration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to do build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restora tive Nervine. Its strength ening influence upon the nerv ous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get a bottle from your druggist.

Of the 41 points made by the col lege 22 were made by McCormick, who has been one of their star track men for several years. Toward the close of the meet it rained and the broad jump and the relay race had to be omitted. The best time made was in the 220 yard race, which was run in 22H seconds. Butters McCracken is the name of a new pitcher secured by Abilene. The Salina Journal says that the Salina team will make it so hot that Butter will melt when he pitches against that team. The following Is the lineup of the Beloit C. K. team as far as the team has thus far been signed: A. M. Eb right, manager and second base. He is now coach of the Kansas university baseball team, has played In the Three I and Western leagues and was base- two years. Chas. Hoffman, of Hope, Kansas, pitcher and outfielder. Hoff man is one of the best men that ever played on the K. U. team, and for four years played as pitcher for that team. He is a heavy hitter, and an excellent outfielder. A. L. Green, of Missouri, as pitcher. He is thought to be the Greene who is now pitching for William Jewell college at Liberty, Mo., who on Tues day in a game against Lindsborg struck out 14 men and allowed but one hit. George Gibbs, first base or sec ond, is playing his second year with Baker university. W. W. Wright, of Missouri "university, third base. Played four years on M. C, and was captain the last two years. Also played one year in the Western association. For rest D. Mead, of Beloit. catcher, is p'aying his second year on K. U. team. Played last year with Galesburg, Illi nois, and Washington, Kansas. Frank M. Armin will play an infield position. His record was not -given but has Eb ris;hfs seal. R. W. Michaels, of Kan saa City, outfielder, is an experienced man, who is known to a number of Be loit people as a No. 1 player. Salina was expecting to secure a game with Guy Green's Nebraska In dians but was unable to make the deul go through. Manager Gunthorpe of the Denver team dropped a ray of sunshine in tha Great Bend camp before leaving that city. He told the Great Bend manage ment that the team was good enough to finish in the first division of the K. S. circuit. Out at Great Bend there is a lively race for supremacy on the Infield which V v JS2&hr-. V lies between -Ftuitnl Paha. Epling, Kennedy, Dressen, and Bowen. The Tribune says the race is getting closer every day. Arkansas City has feigned up a pitcher by the name of Jay Weissenger, who comes from an Oklahoma league team. Lee Gramley seems to be getting in shape every day. No matter what kind of a game is being played at Manhat tan, Gramley gets the job of umpiring. And in this way he will be able to brush up on some of the finer points of the' game. Kmert T. Clark of -Glenwood, Ia., Is also one of the belated players who s expected to commence work. He Is a pitcher and a fielder. McPherao a Re publican. So far no official name has b n se lected for McPherson's club In the State league. Of course name is not necessary to win the pennant but it comes in mighty handy with the fans in the newspapers. The comm -n ab breviation for McPherson Is "Mack" and this may become name of McPher son's team. McPherson Republican. The Junction -City Union remarks that the C.

And this Is why. bright will no allow his play ers to :ead by lampion West will al low no chewing, smoking- or drinking, a.it lotng at Abilen.t will have no rcol jiaj'.ng. Howard E. Everett has been appoint ed official scorer for the season, and the only official scores printed in the city will be found on the sport page of the State journal. The Des Moines papers are expecting Men off to become the best third sacker in the city. Frank Isbell seems to have beaten Jiggs Donohue out of the first base 13b on the Chicago White sox team. They are even now for JlggJ pulled on the same trick on Issy a few years ago, and for the reason that Isbell was rot hitting enough. Now Donohue seems to lose out on the same cause. C 1 ,n V.; rr an,itVaw A? A Til dians, will have the honor of pitching the opening game. Swift and Mltze will be the Fuemo battery. Pueblo has a chance to get a :.ew pitcher, Drectko from the St. Paul club. The Indians, however, feel that their pitching staff is pretty large now In point of numbers, but if one of the recalcitrants fail to report, Drectko will be sent for. Catcher Anheirer. of the Pueblo team. has been farmed out to Trinidad in the Colorado State league.

The Lincoln team which will arrive in Topeka tomorrow morning, plays In Nortonville this afternoon. Des Moines stock has taken a big boost. Miller and Lang pitchers, and Outfielders Mattick and Dalton have come into the fold. Bader. however, still refuses and has been blacklisted. Bader evidently knew what he was do ing for he had a touch of the game in Des Moines last season. Bill Annis' has failed to make good at Des Moines. He will be sold with in a day or two. Fond du Lac of the Wisconsin league is after htm. cooil gan, a good steady shortstop has beaten Annis out. With Galgano. Walsh. Coates, Hatch and Swift as pitchers. Pueblo feels so certain it can trim anything in the Western league that it invites the clubs to come on and. take their medicine. The club expects to grab the pennant. If James, the crack southpaw. Joins the club, the fans of Pueb will simply blow up. Doc Shively Is stiii trying to hold up the w. A. pennant which Topeka won last season. Joohn is making an el fort to get it, as the Miners claim they are the ones entitled to it as all the clubs which fin!fhed above them have GROOMING COUNTS But H eannot maks a Fair Skin or a Glossy Coat.

THE TOPEKA TAILY STATE JOTTRWAITOESDAY EVEOTKO, APRIL 27, 1909.' A BAD BACK IS A BAD HANDICAP Few of us can afford to be Idle, and to those who work, a sound, strong back is a necessity. A bad back pre vents rest or sleep, and aches all day with a dull, tired throb. Don't think because sharp twinges strike you when you lift, or twist about, or reach, that your work Is too hard for you. Bad backs are com mon in every occupation. Those aches and twinges are only Nature's warnings that the kidneys, need help. It is easy to tell if the- kidneys are sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of filtering the blood. Backache is an early warning. Head ache, dizzy spells, puffy swellings un der the eyes or in the ankles and legs, nervousness, irritability. rheumatic pain and tired feelings also tell of kid ney ills. Examine the urine. If it is ex tremely pale "and light, the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If it is dark colored and thick, passages too frequent, or too canty, !f there is any sediment de posited when it stands, if passages burn or pain, that is proof of enough that the kidneys need attention.

It Is thought by some that there was black damp in his room which might have caused him the trouble. He complained that he was burning up and Intense pains in his head, which leads to the theory that the black damp and bad air might have been responsible for the affected con dition of his mind.

TO TAKE ALL SUMMER Gould Will Spend Thousands of Dollars on the Job. Other Items of .Interest Railway Circles. in Fort Scott, Kan.. April 27. The Mis souri Pacific system has closed a con tract for the. ballasting of its line west of Fort Scott, and much of the work will be directed from headquarters to be established here. The contractors, It is learned, have their own engines and cars, and will haul the chat from the Joplln district to Coffeyville, where the first work will be done. The con tractors own the latest pattern Rogers ballast cars and will begin work May 10. They have nine iof the 90-ton en gines and 20 of the 100-ton engines that will be pressed into service. The 90 ton locomotives will be used on the Coffeyville-JopIIn district and the lesser sized engines will work north of Cof feyville for the time being: The work will be brought this way, and when the ballasters reach Yates Center the bulk of the work will be done through this office.

The work will cost thou sands of dollars, and after the western division has been coated with ballast the K. N. D. will be ballasted.

WANT ORDER SUSPENDED. Harriman Lines Make Further Appeal In Spokane Case. Washington, April 27. An applica tion has been made to the interstate commerce commission through F. C. Diilar of the Lmon Pacific railroad for a susper.jion of the commission's order in the Spokane rate case, so far as the Harriman lines are concerned. The argument is advanced that the Harriman route to Spokane is much longer than that of the Northern Pa cific or Great Northern from Chicago, and that it should not therefore be forced to acquiesce as to the same rates. It is expected that the order of the commission in the Spokane case, which was made effective on May 1, will be extended to June 1, in order that the lines affected -by it may have ample time in which to comply with its provisions.' If the tariffs filed under the order should not be satis factory to the commission,-the rail roads will have the option of making them so or going into" the-United States courts to ask tot an injunction to re strain the commission from putting its order into effect. Such action in effect would place the whole matter before the courts on its merits for adjudica tion. It is regarded as not unlikely that that will be eventually the result. TO GRADE PITTSBURG BRAXCH. Work Almost Ready, to Start on New Santa Fe Line. Chanute, Kan., April 27. I..F.

The latter expected to begin work earlier, but was hindered by the un favorable weather, which delayed the completion of the macadam work which he was doing on South Central avenue. He expects to finish the street work Tuesday or Wednesday of next -week, at which time. Central will be thrown open to travel for its full length. The railroad grade is to be snoui- dered to a width of twenty-four-feet and brought to a level. HANGED HIMSELF IX ORCHARD. Poor Health Responsible for Rash Act of John Middleton. Edgerton.

Kackley, Kan., April 27. Robbers were in business at Kackley some time Sunday night. After the robbery they did a little physical culture act, walking six miles from this place to Jamestown, at which place it is sup posed that they took the Missouri Pa cific train for the west- The reason of this conclusion is that bloodhounds started from the J. A. Johnson store, which was robbed, and they picked up a trail and followed it to Jamestown and to" the Missouri. Pacific depot. Forty dollars in cash and a few small articles is Mr. Johnson's loss. Justice Harlan Denies It. Washington. April 27.

Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Roosevelt is on his first visit to Africa and has only been on the soil of the Dark Continent for a few days, he glibly announces that the Germans have made astounding progress In the development of East Africa, From the galaxy of candidates in the "square deal" crowd who are be ing groomed for future congressional and other important nominations, it is evident that there are going to be some exciting times in Republican cir cles In this state duirng the next couple of years.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance committee of the United States senate and self-appointed "boss" of that distinguished body, was quoted re cently as having told his colleagues on the finance committee and others who are in his confidence, that he is in favor of a plan for the- creation of a body of tariff Investigators. It may be taken for granted, therefore, that the senate, at least, will consider at an early date, probably at the present-special session of congress after the pres ent tariff revision is disposed of, legis lation 'for the creation of some sort of a tariff commission. Business, men, manufacturers, and students of the tariff question have been insisting for years that a tariff commission is need ed in order to frame a scientific tariff measure, one based upon the difference between the cost of production at home and the cost abroad. But their fight for this has really only Just begun in view of certain provisions which Mr. Aldrich has injected into his plan. It is his idea that this tariff board, or commission, should be made up of representatives from various of the existing federal departments,, namely, from the bureau of foreign relations, of the state department,- the bureau of customs, the treasury department,, the bureau of manufactures and of statis tics and from the department of com merce and labor. It is proposed that this bureau shall have the power to secure information for the president to utilize in the application of the maxi mum and minimum policy of tariff levies which it is proposed to establish. Such a bureau would be a far cry from the purposes of a tariff commission which has been agitated for eo long a time. It would be far from being sat isfactory. It would not take the ques tion of tariff investigation out of the realms of politics, for most of the men holding Jobs in the various federal de partments named are politicians to the core. A tariff bureau made up accord ing to the Aldrich plan "a!d hardly be able to pass upon the costs of pro duction. Experience in manufacturing and in real business affairs would be necessary if the work of a tariff com mission is to amount to anything, and two or more members of any such board must have this practical knowl edge. There is only one right solution of the tariff problem the formation of a permanent tribunal of men equipped with expert knowledge of the indus tries of the United States, yet bound to no special interest; men of prominence and character such as will command the confidence of the people, yet de pendent in no way for their livelihood or standing upon political leaders. If there now is a disposition In con gress for the creation of a tariff com mission it should result in the estab lishment of no make-shift affair. The real thing, or nothing at all, is what the people want and they should let their demands in these regards be known in no uncertain terms. THE BUSINESS WORLD. An interesting resume of the pre vailing conditions in the business world and the prospects for the future Is found in the current weekly financial letter issued by Henry Clews, the New York banker, as follows: "The business situation has been somewhat adversely affected by tariff agitation for the past three months, orders for nearly all classes of mer chandise having been placed upon. a hand-to-mouth basis. Neither Job bers nor retailers cared to stock up beyond immediate requirements when the conditions of buying were so un settled. As a result stocks of goods at both first and second hands have in many cases become much depleted. Meanwhile consumption has been go ing on at much about the ordinary rate. Clothing and shoes are being worn as usual, and there has been no slackening in the consumption of food, except such as may have been enforced by high prices. This situa' tlon means that as soon as uncer tainty is removed considerable ac tivlty must develop for the purpose of replenishing exhausted supplies. While, therefore, the tariff has lost much of its effect as a disturber of business, no real resumption of ac tivity can be expected until the out come of that question is foreseen Nobody now anticipates any im portant changes from existing sched ules which is perhaps politically unfortunate, as the tariff question may loom up again in disturbing form at some future date. This, however, is a distant problem and has nothing to do with the immediate future. If, as it is hoped, the tariff be settled before June 1, we may expect a further im provement in general trade; and should the next harvest prove any thing like satisfactory the coming fall should witness a very decided resumption of business activity. An other important element in the busi ness situation is the outlook for pro longed ease in money. This is quite as important to the merchant and manufacturer as to the speculator. It enables him to obtain the credit which he needs on good terms, and to make plans extending Into the future. In fact, continued easy money is one of the bert and most natural tonics for business recuperation." MR. LOEB'S POWER, There is many a funny turn to the wheel of politics. An excellent exem pllfication of this Is found in the high and especially powerful position in the political world now held by William Loeb, Jr., as collector of the port of New Tork. In this position, if be had any desire to do so, he could probably become the political boss of the Re publican party in the great state of New York. And until he was appointed to this position he wasn't even a factor in New Tork politics. Mr. Loeb was stenographer by profession, making his home in -Albany, New Tork, and was the governor of the Empire state. Mr. Loeb and Mr. Roosevelt were strangers up to this time, but Mr. Roosevelt ap preciated Loeb's abilities as a stenog rapher and confidential man and took him to Washington -with him on his elevation to the vice presidency. Mr. Loeb's appointment as secretary to the president was the next step and his faithful services to his chief were re sponsible for his appointment at the hands of Mr. Taft to the New Tork collectorshlp. Most of the Republican leaders in the state of New York, were on anything but friendly terms -with Mr. Roosevelt during his incumbency In the presiden tial office. They writhed under his domination. They used to vent their spleen occasionally on Mr. Loeb, calling him "Roosevelt's goat," when he fre quently came to the aid of his chief to save him from embarrassing situa tions. But the chances are these self same leaders do not Indulge In pleas antries of this sort these days. They probably take off their hats when Mr. Loeb passes by. For in his capacity as collector of the port of New Tork he has more good Jobs to pass out than any other man in the entire state. He is head of an army of no less than 1,900 federal employes, very few of whom are under the rules and regulations of civil ervice. Most of the offices at the dis posal of the collector of the port of New Tork are given to New Tork men, or have been in the" past. It has been one of the great big cogs, If not the greatest. In the Republican machine of that state. And surely It is Mr. Loeb's turn to smile. JOURNAL ENTRIES Women always get Just exactly what they want. That Is. some few of them do.

T KANSAS COMMENT WOE AT ST. LOUIS. It is probable that the next num ber of the Brewers' Tear Book, which will be issued a year hence, will contain much .literature of a sombre" and despairing nature; there will be lamentation compared with which the outpourings of Jeremiah will seem like cries of exultation; and there will be dirges more dismal than the wailings of Mariana in her Moated Grange; and it will surprise nobody If there is a mourning border to each page. Truly, the brewers have cause for grief. They used to feel --bad enough when a town or village was lost, to the cause; but: in these later days states go dry, one after an other, and many of these states which declare for a permanent drouth, were formerly partial to the morning' tod dy and the evening highball. Some of the southern states which bave shoo ed away John Barleycorn, have a pop ulation of colonels, who have always borne, without reproach, the grand old name of booze fighters, and the loss of such states fairly paralyzed the Anheuser .forces. But the straw that hreaks the camel's back is the attitude of Missou ri. It seems probable that the ques tion of licensing saloons in the state will be submitted to the voters, and the Anheusers know what that means. Four or five years ago such a propo sition would not ave scared them much, for Missouri was then suppos ed to be -wedded to: the profane idol of booze; but the brewers have at last learned that public sentiment is opposed to their business, and they are in deadly fear of that sentiment, when it Is permitted to express itself at the polls. They know that the sa loon will be voted out of Missouri as surely as the sun rises, if the people are given a chance at it. Hence the activity at St. Louis. The business, men view with alarm the possibility that thousands of brewery workers will be thrown out of employ ment in case the saloon is suppressed, and there will be general chaos if the big breweries are compelled to shut down. It Is the same old bogle that was worked hard enough In Kansas. If the saloon is voted out of Missouri, the building it occupies will be used for some legitimate trade; the brew ery workers will find other employ ment; the city will suffer no setback whatever.. Even if the contrary were the case, it would make no difference. The sup pression of the booze traffic is not al together a commercial question: it has a Ynoral element which is of more consequence. The people of this coun try have made up their minds that John Barleycorn must go; his going may cause some grief and loss to certain-interests, but think of the deso lation caused by his staying!

Hamilton's likeness is to appear on certificates of the $1,000 denomina tion. Certificates of this value are for the larger business and banking transactions; they are extensively, but not popularly, used. It is a safe as sertion that a vast majority of Amer ican citizens have never seen a certi ficate of this kind and value; they are not for pocket circulation. It may be that the monarchical bent of Hamilton's mind has made him un popular. But he conceded something to his felfb-ws at Philadelphia; he was alike loyal and liberal, and while his ideas of democracy were not accepted bv the convention that framed the national charter, it win De conceded by fair men that his opposition to principles espoused by men too radi cally democratic .added much to the strength of the instrument. The American people owe much to Hamilton; remembering his good ser vice to his country, they can well af ford to forget whatever faults may have marred either his political think ing or his personal practices. This re public should honor Hamilton's mem ory in some more becoming way. Out side of art museums and libraries they rarely see his likeness. Seattle Post. Intelligencer. THE OLD-TIME MURDERER. If the practice of the past few years keeps up and it will It seems as If a real, genuine, old-fashioned murder er will soon be obsolete. There will follow a shifting of terms. Just as the insane person of the past has be come a "patient" and very properly so so will the murderer of the future become an "insane person." Killing will cease to be a crime and, instead, will be but an expression of insanity, which, while probably disastrous to the killed, involves no particular disr comfort for the 'killer. A short stay in a place of downy beds and course dinners, with a trained nurse and a physician or two to complete the stage setting, and .the 'insane person" will be turned loose once more upon the world, to become insane again if he cares to. or to set an example for oth ers with an incEnation or temptation to send a bullet into somebody, reveal themselves maniacs and go through the same process of downy beds, course dinners and trained nurses. When the day of the murderer is surelv gone, bow we shall look back on the old times and ridicule those benighted people who actually dared to consider a deliberate killing as murder, murder as crime and crime as something deserving of punish ment! And how we shall regard as martyrs those once-upon-a-tJme mur derers and assassins who. victims of ignorance and injustice, were sent to the penitentiaries, gallows, and elec tric chairs; We" shall then know that penitentiaries and hangmen and death chairs are only for burglars. pickpockets and trespassers, who are plainly criminals and as plainly sane. i Louisville Conner-Journal. v LOVE'S CONSTANCY.

We believe it most probable that the name of Oregon arose out of some circumstance connected with western explorations under direction of the French. Earlier than the English, the French had pressed on westward from the great lakes to the Red river, to the Saskatchewan and to the foot of the Rocky mountains. They were ranging the country of the upper Mis sissippi in search of furs and for trade with the natives; they were full of curiosity and active in inquiry about the great distant west and the un known western sea. Of this sea they possessed Spanish charts and probably used among the natives the word "Aragon," as a homonym of Spain. When Jonathan Carver of Connecticut was on his expedition to the upper Mississippi country, in 1767-1768, he made all possible inquiries, he tells us, about the country toward the west, the western river and the sea and the word "Oregon," and the name was written for the first time, so far as we now know, or possibly can ever know, in Carver's book, published in London in 1778. It is a .book of little im portance or value, except for the fact that it gives to the world the name of Oregon, which Carver- says he got from natives in the country of the tip per Mississippi. Recent writers have shown that much of Carver's book is made up of unacknowledged extracts from French explorers before him, particularly from Hennepin, Lahontan and Charlevoix: and as Carver had no scholarship it is believed the book was compiled in London, partly from Car ver's own story and partly from the records of French and English ex ploration. It is significant, further. that in Carver's book tribes of Indians and various objects are often desig nated by French names or terms. Portland Oregonian. Lopping Indian Names. Just as the names of the French Ca nadians in Maine are being Anglicized and thus, -while simpifled, robbed of their beauty, so are the orginal Indian names of towns and rivers, lakes and localities rapidly becoming corrupted. clipped of syllables and generally twist ed about to suit the convenience of a nonsentimental and intensely practical people. The United States postoffice depart ment has succeeded in clipping the last three letters from such names as Waldoborough, which now reads Waldo boro, and so on, but when it comes to Indian names a much greater difficulty is presented, and generally these can be simplified only by a radical recon struction or corruption. For instance, it is difficult to make anything new out of Mattawamkeag or Fassadumkeag, and Passamaquoddy is still official, although the Maine people call It Quoddy for short. Originally the locality of Bangor was called by the Tarratine or Penobscot Indians, Kades- quit. Then it became -Kondeskeag, Condeskeag, Conduskeag, and finally Kenduskeag all through the varying fancy of succeeding generations of white men. The name of Maine's highest moun tain has been spelled at various times and by different authorities Ktaadn Ktadhn, and as now generally recog nized Katahdln. A stream in that re gion has been called Wissataquoik, Wassataquiok, and Wassatacook, and today the lumbermen call it Satacook. Molunkus, Ripogenus, and NIcatous are simple enough to be let alone, but there is a big Job awaiting the man who tries to simplify Pockwockamus, Sourdna hunk, Passamagmock, Katepsconegon, Caucomgomoc, or Chemquasabamtl cook. Aboljackmagasset, Aboliackarmegas- stc. or Aboljackamegas is generally clip ped by the loggers and hunters to Abol and, in fact, is so called by nearly everybody on the plea that life is too short to wander through all the sylla bles that rightly belong to the name of the. stream.

THE EVENING STORY The Bachelor and the Cat. tBy Stuart B. Stone.) The fluffy-haired, hazel-eyed young lady was speaking of the play at the Belleville opera house. "it is tne prettiest bit of sentiment. There's the quaintest pair of lovers, and they gv through fire, water, per secution and plague, but it works out beautifully in the end." Thereupon bashful Cantain Grant, as the head of the table, sniffed polite disapproval. The cheery young bank clerk, who sat next to the hasel-eyed girl, told of tne Dest-seiiing- romance he was reading. It was "The Loves' of Lady Perilla," and Captain Grant frowned at the title. Then the young man leaned over and talked in low tones to the fluffy haired girl. The girl colored, in. de licious bewilderment; the young man's merry eyes sobered, and Mrs. Ogden Carter winked at Mrs. Newman Apple by across the table. Captain Grant saw the by-play of hearts, and growled in to nis piate oi Boston beans. After that, in a faint, sweet cloud of helio trope, the lilac lady entered. one was in the early thirties, rather tall and thin, with a wreath of glossy black hair and big, gray eyes scatter ing sympathy. Touches of lilac here and there relieved the black. The boarders "sized up" the new comer some with a tinge of envy of the splendid, shining hair, others with listless conjecture as to whether she came from Cape Cod or from Kokomo. jsut uaptain Grant looked covertly at the lady and sighed so manifestly from the heart that a little ripple of amused wonder went around the tables. Blush ing vividly, the captain arose and strutted hurriedly out. The captain held little nart in the babble of the table: but next day he spoke to Miss Inola Marshall, the new Doaraer, regarding tne probability of rain. The lilac lady smiled charm ingly, admitting the shrewdness of the forecast. From one labored confi dence in a day. this man who had sniffed at the prospect of young hearts confiding attained to a running com ment of anecdote and observation. Miss Inola was gracious, so. after a bit, noticing the captain and the lady in discussion. Mrs. Carter smiled at Mrs. Appleby, and the young clerk had his hazel-eyed girl to himself, with no one to snort because they talked in the low. earnest tones of lovers. Things went thus, beautifully until the coming of Zenobia. Zenobia was plump and sleek and sandy-and-white streaked, like a faded tigress. She was endowed wltn a cavernous yawn and a lulling, musical purr, and she had a way of curling up on the precious skirts of women to dream fitful things of the chase of the hard-pressed mouse. The giantess of a cat was as a pic ture of gold to Miss Inola; but the captain detested all of her kind. When Zenobia crept softly to the dining room and some unseeing barbarian stepped on her ringed tail, so that she squalled in despair, it was a question whether the captain did not chuckle grimly. Miss Inola, loving Zenobia dearly, could not help but hold it against him in her heart. Finally Zenobia, sigh ing for sympathy, thrust her plump sides against the trouser-leg of the captain, leaving soft, yellow hairs for remembrance. It affected him like the clammy contact of a serpent. "What do yon see m that -cat he demanded. "More than I see in you," Miss Inola flared back. That settled it- The captain retired to his den and tried vainly to interest himself in three volumes of the histor' of the Soudan; and Miss Inola, petting and pampering the giantess Zenobia, almost wished that she might die. For a month Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Apple by had only tne young Dank clerk and the hazel-eyed girl for winking and smiling exchange. The last night in the month the cap tain lounged disconsolately in his smoking gown, dividing his time be tween a dissertation on Moroccan bandits and the perversities of women in lilac. "The Moorish bandit Is gruff, grim and Inured to hardship," read the cap tain, and nodded, knowing they were miles and miles away. She is the only woman I could ever care a straw for, murmured the cap tain, alert and sighing, for Madam of the Lilacs was only across the narrow hall. A full-fed, lazy cat purred in the corridor, descended the steps and yowled for companionship in the yard below. The captain shut his mouth tight and went back to learn of the banditti. The Dutch windmill of a clock chimed nine. Some one cried. faintly, far-away. The cry was repeat ed, nearer. "Fire! Fire!" The captain bounded to the door, arrayed like a rajah for glory. Miss Inola almost telescoped him. Where is it?" she demanded. The window disclosed a fierce blaze quite near. "The Golden Rule Ware house," answered the captain; and they both descended hurriedly. A crowd had gathered, shouting, gesticulating yet not venturing near the burning warehouse. "Why don't they put It out?" asked Captain Grant. Powder stored there barrels and barrels of It," volunteered some one. Mrs. Appleby approached Miss In ola. "Tour cat, Zenobia, Just went in there." Miss Inola moaned: "Poor, Mttl' Zenobia. She 11 be blown into the moon! Captain Grant started to speak and checked himself. Then, coloring vio lently, he annonnced: "Don't go on In that way. Miss Inola. I'm, going to rescue Mnoum.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURN Air TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1909. CITY HALL NEWS. Police Court Prosecutor Offi cially Dropped. Mayor and Council Decide Ex pense Is Too Great. SOME KICKING HEARD Outsiders Belieye That Party Issues Are Void. Other Items of Interest From the City Building. The police court prosecutor, Philip Wilson, has lost his position officially this decree came last night when the city council decided that Mayor Green's policy was the only right course to take and thus the fall of the guillotine. Mayor Green and City Attorney Ral ton came to the conclusion that the outles of police court prosecutor could be taken by the city attorney especially at this time as former City Attorney Drenning is attending to the cases pending against the city in the dis trict court. There is considerable com plaint brought on account of this move on the other hand there are any num ber of approvals. Those who approve ay that this system of reducing the running expenses or tne city is r'irVit rnnn to take. Those against have a different story. For the sake of argument their story will be repro duced. "I pan't ea where the city is saving money." said a prominent student of clty-d.ffalrs this morning. "While the city is abolishing the office cf city prosecutor it is piling up expenses by hiring the service of the former city attorney. Mr. Drenning. And then if I am not mistaken Mr. Kaiston, aaver- tidert in bin oamnaien last winter, saia that he had eight years' experience in the oifice of the city attorney and on account of the many important cases nendinir in the district court it was ab' solutely necessary that ha be given the position- Now is tne time ior tne cases to come before the court and Mr. Ral ston drops back to the police court and the city hires another man. I am not inclined to be a knocker but I can hard lv see where the city should heap vengeance upon the head of the wrong man. Mr. Wilson has made a good rec ord flown at the police court and he should not have suffered the snort comings of others." The Majestic theater has asked the city to place an electric sign out in front of their place of business. There are only four big lights and one story and a half sign in front of this theater at the present time and the council thought that there was surely room for more. The matter was referred to tne streets and walks committee who will Investigate the building front and if a place can be found in the vicinity of the block to place a sign they will give the Crawford people the benefit of tne doubt. East Kighth are getting to be a regular Klalto. More trouble at the police headauar tfrs. A new wagon was purchased with glee, the building was repaired without a whimper, the salary of the chief was raised with celerity and the court pros ecutor was expelled without a dissent ing vote. But to bring public protection before the limelight again the restau rant man who feeds the prisoners at the Eaton cafe, Mr. H. T. Darby, sends a communication to the city asking that he receive two and a half cents more for the -meals he serves. At the pres ent time Mr. Darby sends the prisoners beans, bread, coffee and a few other articles for ten cents per. In spite of the faot the prisoners rebel every night declaring that the beans are imitation bullets and the bread resembles a chip from a paving block, while either of them will sink In the coffee, this bold restaurant man declares that he is los ing money. Mr. Darby states the pure food laws have raised the price of all eatables. In other words there is col oring matter in bread and beans no longer and the coffee must not be mix ed with, bonfire leaves. The council will try one of the meals before it acts. "It appears to me that every move made by the city at the present time points toward the oncoming of the commission form of government," said Councilman C. E. Jordan from the First ward this morning. "I am in clined to believe that Topeka will be governed by the commission plan within the next two years and pos sibly within a year. Everything is gradually falling into line and it is but a question of time." This is the opinion of practically all of the city officials and the regular city hall visitors. Topeka is growing to such a size that it is impossible to regulate city affairs with an organiza tion of men who receive very meager pay for their services and who are in Business by themselves and unable to Q nnj Wo We want your trade. We have the most convenient location, the largest and best stock and better bargains than any other yard in the city. provide sufficient time for value to the city. The average city councilman can not spend one-tenth of his time mingling in city affairs how can a city expect high class government with such a condition of affairs. It must be admitted that the city administration at this time is excellent in fact the all around condition of the city at large was never better. But the coun cilmen are spending much more time than they can afford. A man may obligate himself by running tor office and swearing allegiance, etc., but he is not expected to put $100 worth of time in the council chamber every month when he is only getting $16. This is the way the aldermen are do ing at the present date and they have been doing it the last two years or more." What became of the peti tion for an election to put the commis sion form of government into effect? Some one must have smothered it. Mayor Green completed his ap pointments for the ensuing term last night at a special meeting of the coun cil when he appointed the board of library directors, the park commis sioners and the members of the board of health from the city council. Albert T. Reid, A. A. Godard and Joab Mul vane were given berths as library di rectors. M. A. Low, F. O. Morns, A. B. Quinton, J. B. Larimer and C. K. Holliday were appointed as tlio now board of park commissioners. The members of the board of health from the city coi'Cil are VI. F. Stanley and C. G. Blakelv. The new fire limit ordinance has finally passed the city council and will go into effect at once. There is an in teresting addition to the fira iimlts the half block on which is situated the city hall and Auditorium and the tn.-n full hlocks between Tenth and Twelfth and Kansas avenue and Jack son are now in tne city lire limits, xne latter includes a bunch of state prop erty, also some street car property possessions. The half block at First and Crane will also be included. Apropos the idea suggested by the city engineer, John P. Rogers, making it possible for the city to attend to sewerage during the floods by con structing a portable gasoline pump which could be moved from one stor age tank to the other on both sides of the river and thus pump the sew erage over the dikes into the flood, the city officials have a new idea for the disposal of the waste matter at flood times. It is suggested that the sewers emptying into the river at the city park and vicinity be extended east into the big sewer opening at the foot of Jefferson street. At this point erect a big storage tank and estab lish a permanent pump which would accommodate all the sewer water of the south side of the city. The north side sewerage has been arranged for through the efforts of Councilman Jordan, who has been working hard on the matter ever since it was sug gested. The city engineer has also taken a great interest his ideas con cerning the storage tanks and port able pump are very good and prob ably will be adopted if the new con nection is not considered the cheap est. It is acknowledged by the city officials that the Rogers plan is the easiest and the best looking at first glance, but it is not known whether or not it Is the cheapest. The ex-' pense of a proposition seems to ap peal the strongest to an average of ficial. The petition from North To peka asking the council for a cut off and pumping station has been re ferred. Building permits are not coming as fast as they should this time of the year. Only $8,000 worth of homes were allowed at the office of the fire marshal yesterday. This would be good any other year,- but this year property and building is booming. In speaking of the value of skim milk as a food. City Milk Inspector Dr. D. M. Campbell had the following to say to a State Journal reporter this morning: "Skim milk is a very economical food, containing all of the valuable protein and on-half the fuel value of the whole milk. Skim milk is nearly 10 per cent solids and a pint of it con tains about 0.535 pound of protein, the building and repair material of the human body. It costs but two or three cents per quart. An oyster stew made of two parts skim milk and one part oysters, owes its food value more to the skim milk than to the oysters it contains. "The value of skim milk as a feed Is not generally appreciated. Its sub titution for water where possible in cooking, would considerably increase the amount of protein in the ordin ary dietary. Bread made with skim milk is more nutritious than that made with water. A lunch of bread and skim milk is very nutritious and of low cost, as following comparison between such a lunch and a restaur ant lunch costing four or five times as much as shows. The tin can day crusade is meeting with the greatest of suocess. Street Commissioner Frank Snyder said this afternoon that his men have been fill ing up the wagons much faster than in former years and it locks as though every sink hole in the city will be filled to the level with the trash. Since the article in the State Journal last night PI IM M 213 EAST SIXTH STREET people all over the city have gathered their tin cans and erockery together1 in piles and heaps in the alleys. In some places the men found heaps that reached the top of the barns and sheds. In one place a pile had to be removed before the men could drive through the alley. This is the way the people are taking an interest in the crusade. The work will continue tomorrow and the next day practically the whole week If the people eo desire. Only one trip will be made over one alley and there is yet a chance for those who live further out. The paved alleys in the center of the city are being covered to day. Tonight it is expected that at least thirty wagon loads will be dumped. There is still time -for the spring house cleaning. Swat the cans. There is a movement on foot in To peka to do away with the cost of fumi gating houses after cases of measles. Not only is it costly to make these fumigations but they are useless. It has been proven that there is no dan ger from contagion after the sickness has passed away. It is during the first few days of the appearance of the dis ease that there is danger. After a two weeks quarantine there Is no fear. Cities all over the country have done away with the useless expense and it is hoped that Topeka will follow the flag. It costs the city considerable money during the course of a year making fumigations. The city hall needs a floor directory and needs It bad. Every day the un fortunates who occupy, the offices on the second floor have to answer in quiries as to the location of the office of the mayor, the city attorney, the city clerk and the city treasurer. Then there are other places in demand upon the third floor. The city engineer al lowed the cat to' slip however when he told a State Journal reporter this after noon that if the city did not make ar rangements for the directory he would do it himself in other words he would direct the office to map out a big card board and pen it. With such a proposi tion before them it is an easy matter to see what the city officials will do they won't do. BAGS MORE GAME. Colonel Roosevelt AVU1 Remain a Week at Pease Ranch. Nairobi, British East Africa, April 27. Theodore Roosevelt and his son Kermit had sufficiently recovered to day from the fatigue connected with their first shooting trips and their journey from Kapiti Plains station to the ranch of Sir Alfred Pease, on the Athl river, to go out shooting this morning for small game. They were successful in securing a Grant's gazelle and hartebeest. All the members of the Roosevelt party are busy today sorting out their baggage and making it up into loads and otherwise preparing to start on more extended hunting expeditions. J. Alden Loring and Major Mearns came into Kapiti station this morning from the Pease ranch and set to work mak ing up loads from the baggage there. They looked tired owing to the fatigue of the last few days and the depressing effect of the climate. Part of the Rcosevelt camp already has been es tablished at the Pease ranch, the re mainder of the caravan will move over to this point tomorrow morning. The Roosevelt party decided today to remain ror one week at the Pease ranch, and with this stay In view a number of cases of stores were, sent into the American camp today. The smallpox among the porters of the Roosevelt caravan has been cheek ed. FELL TO THE GROUND. Negro Servant's Damage Suit Against Mrs. Rowley Dismissed. The case of Rosalee Gardenhire against Mrs. J. p. Rowley, which was set for trial in aistrtct court toaay, will not be tried. The attorneys for the GaxdenTiife s-IrL C. E. Carrol and W. I. Jamison, dismissed the case this morning. In explanation they stated that they had discovered a flaw in their suit, to-wit: the fact that Mrs. Rowley had been alleged to have made the charges of theft against the girl only to an officer, and that the supreme voun iuq aeia iau ucn a cnarge, made omy ro tui onicer, was not slanderous. This case began last summer, when Mm Rowley lost some valuables.

Andy Dupree, an Old Favorite Fined for Gambling. A disorderly house way down in jungle town was raided last night at about eleven bells by a- squad of Eaton's sleuths. The crowd was a JittWs tight on the general welcome and a Bextette formed the party. They were: Sally Jenkins and Welsey Dot son, Felix Dotson and Mabel Porter, Bud Graves and Mary Floyd, each of Inky hue and with his own individual stains varying from penitentiary terms to alley-ratting and jungle robbery. Andy Dupree, famous for his bulk and his heavy business not sanctioned by the law, is again convicted of keep ing a gambling house. There are a number of the Dupree dens but this particular case arose out of the find ings of the police last Saturday night at 116 Vt Kansas avenue, where ten men were found to be shooting craps in good old cotton style. Andy himself seems not to have been in the game but claims to have been peacefully slumbering In his stout bed at the time. Still he har bored the gambling and although he pleaded not guilty he was convicted in police court last evening and fined $50 and 75 cents costs. The poor proprietor is said not to have made a cent since his first judg ment day and worse than that his con stituents are now falling to defend him because it is said he got a woman from Kansas City to come and "clean the fellows up."

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1909. NORTH SIDE NEWS Little Colored Girl Placed in Humane Officer's Care. Taken From Custody of Mother, Bessie Nesbey. A CHECKERED CAREER Father Deserted Mother Child Practically Abandoned. Left in Bee Adams' Care She Is Precocious. After a rather checkered career for on so young, Wllla May Nesbey,- the five-year-old daughter of Mrs. Bessie Nesbey, a colored woman of about 20 years old. was placed In temporary charge of Kilmaura King by Probate Judge Schoch yesterday. The Judge will try to find a proper home for the child as it was decided at the trial Qf the case yesterday that the mother was not a fit person to care for the little girl. The Kings have made several at tempts to place the little girl in a way to secure a good home, but each time when their purpose was almost accom plinhed, she would be spirited away and all trace of her lost. Finally she was located Saturday at the home of a col ored family by the name of McClellan on Kansas avenue, between Third and Fourth streets. Yesterday,, the girl was brought into court along with her mother who had been summoned from Kansas City. In the court the McClel lan woman stated that Bee Adams of Joint fame had sent the child to her. The girl's mother said that she had sent five dollars a week to Bee for the child's support. However she proved by her own statements that she did not make enough to do tms and keep her self so the court decided to take Willa out of their care. The story of the mother's life as the Kings have heard it Is one of the un fortunate circumstances of the "people of the lowly." Mrs. Nesbey married. It seems, when she was fifteen. Her hus band deserted her about five- months before the child was born. After the birth the mother placed the baby in the care of Bee Adams and went to Kansas City. As near as can be learn ed, several of the officers saw the child in the Adams resort when the house wg raided. Upon the arrest of the Adams woman and her confinement in the Jail, the child was placed in the county Jail according to Mr. King's un derstanding. He heard of the Nesbey girl being there on March 8, but when he had filed the proper papers and had reached the Jail the little girl had dis appeared. It was thought that a vis itor who had come to see Bee had learned of the intended action of the humane officers and had taken the girl .away. Later the Kings learned of the girl's being at a meeting at the "B street Baptist church and went there after her. However, when they arrived at the church, the child was missing. TTntil they again located her Satur day, it seems that Willa had been in the care of several families. It ap pears that the mother has been in Kansas City all of this time and had not seen her girl. The latter thinks of Bee Adams ns her mother and speaks of Mrs. Nesbey as "Miss Bes sie." She looks and talks like a child of ten and seems to be precocious In other ways.

The reputation which the North Brothers have acquired during their three week's engagement at, the Nov elty theater is fully sustained in the production of the Nat Goodwin suc cess, "The Cowboy and the Lady," which is the bill for this week. The company shows to better advantage in this than in Sapho .which made a great hit last week. The cast is well One of "The Boys" In "The Cowboy and the Lady." balanced and is costumed In full har mony with the demands of the play. The stage setting is also in accord. Frank Thomas, the leading man of the company plays the part of "Teddy North and in addition to playing the part well, carries out the author's ideas in regard to the volume of slang phraseology, which he handles to the delight of the audience. Miss Mabel Cullen, a9 Mrs. Weston, haa a part that calls for some clever actintr and Miss Cullen rises to the demands in an acceptable manner. Jack Mar lowe is a clever "Mr. Weston." Miss Ernestine Morhle as little "Midge" plays her way into favor with the au dience from the very start. Jack Con nelly, Chester Beach and A. 3. Lewis, as the cowboys. Miss Ivy Bowman, Grace Standish and Maddna Hub bard also do some good-acting. The program of. the Chicago Ladies or chestra is one of the best of the en gagement here. At the Sla jostle. Five good acts in addition to tha moving pictures and Illustrated song comprise the bill at the Majestic theater this week, and a good, well balanced bill it Is. There is not a dull moment on tho program from the overture to the conclusion of the mov ing pictures. The headline act is that of the Lutz Brothers. Clarence Lutz la armless, but demonstrates that he Is one of the crack rifle shots on the vaudeville stage. He rests th rifle between the toes 00 his left foot, and pulls the trigger with one of his right toes. Lutz also gives exhibitions in the handling of carpenter tools all of which he does with his toes. Another good act is'that of Knox Brothers and Helene. This is a musical comedy and is a clever act. The elder Knox works off some real new jokes. Clem mens and Theatcher have a singing and talking act that takes well with the audience. Gladys Van, the former wife of Ollle Mack of Murray Mack fame, has a dainty little singing and monologue act. Hers is one of the best acts on the bill. The Les Theodoras, novelty gymnasts, have a series of gymnastic acts that are away above par, and for physical endurance are hard to beat." Glenn Waggoner, assisted by Miss Virginia Barrick- man, make quite a hit in the illustrat ed song, "My Virginia." An interest ing series of moving picture ..films completes the bill. Farms With Telephones. During the past year the govern ment of Manitoba ran the telephone system in it9 own province, buying out the Bell Telephone company.

We know that Weston Bread cannot be excelled or rarely, if ever, equalled, for it Is the per fect loaf which is the culmination of many years of bread baking experience. It is the result of unfail ing machinery of faultless materials of cleanly methods and of knowing precisely how. When you pay 10c for a loaf of Weston bread, you. actually get more good solid, substantial, muscle build-. Ing bread than In two ordinary Bo loaves, yet you pay nothing extra for its doubly higher quality. You pay nothing extra for the crisp golden brown crust, or the delicious moist, creamy texture of the bread Itself, or the care we take In wrapping each loaf In a separate waxed paper package. All this doesn't cost you one cent more than ordinary bread, yet you get as much or more real bread as you do In 2 five cent loaves. Again we say, that we are not "knocking on your baking, Madam; -but are giving you a friendly tip about bread economy and bread satisfaction. It means less work for you and it means something to us for you to buy Weston Bread. We're cutting in on our profits to give you a perfect bread.

Representa tive Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, talked with the president today about the latter's plans for an extensive tour through the west late this summer, and at the conclusion of the interview said ha would place a bill before the house appropriating $25,000 for the president's traveling expenses during the coming fiscal year. Mr. Tawney said a false impression had gone abroad that he was opposed to such a measure. He said he did not know until today definitely that President Taft -desired to go west in ,the summer, and to iajts 3. run up to Alaska one portion of the United States upon which Mr. Taft had not yet set foot. No president of the United States has ever visited Alaska in fact, and Mr. Taft is anxious to learn at first hand just what condi tions are in that far northern terri tory. Mr. Tawney said today he had no doubt the measure he proposed would pass the house without question. If unanimous consent could not be se cured, however, the bill might be call ed under a special rule. Already in the senate propositions to set aside $25,000 for the president's traveling expenses are pending and no trouble Is expected in Betting the appropria tion through that body. A. T. LUCAS AS GUAR MAX. FLOORS ARE SINKING. Clerks Frightened But Apparently Without Cause. A good deal of anxiety is being oc casioned in the Santa Fe offices today by the report that the west middle wall of the big building has sunk eight inches in the past two or three days. According to the officials of the road, who were Interviewed this morn ing, there is no truth in the report. The engineering department says there is in many instances a sag in the door and window frames, which is plainly visible. This will be rectified within a few days, by the construc tion of brick supports in many places which have hitherto been used as windows. There has been no general sinking, however, as not a single crack has been discovered in the ce ment floor of the basement which In evitably would result from the slight est sag in the walls. There has been no little alarm over the matter, how ever, and the Santa Fe offices were closed for a day four or five years ago, while braces were put on another wall in t'. e building which had sunk a few inches. Lanre wooden braces to help sup port the wall while the repair are going on, and to allay any possible daneer. have been nlaced op the first and second floors of the building. The general office building was built about thirty years ago, and is generally con sidered a decidedly safe building. CONFESSED LONG AGO. Ex-Sheriff Will Have Charge of John Schmidt's Affairs.

The board of directors of the Commer cial club met at noon today in the pri vate dining room of the Topeka Com mercial club. At this meeting a sum rjot to exceed $200 was appropriated for the use of the entertainment committee in providing badges for distribution at the state convention of the Elks which will be held here May 11 and 12. This prom ises to be one of the biggest convention events which the city will experience this season, and every effort w,ill be made to give the visiting Elks a royal welcome. The Elks are all known as live men, and they will doubtless bring Into the city several thousand dollars. The directors also authorised the pub lication of a booklet by the Capper Publishing company, which will be souvenir showing all the churches 01 the city as well as schools and fine residences. The Capper company agrees to furnish the club with 4,000 copies for free distribution. Tonight in the Commercial club rooms the Vermont .club will have a meeting and banquet. E. W. Thompson, a royal Vermonter, is in charge of tne ar rangements. The club rooms seem to be coming very prominent for special occasions and banquets. The proposition to secure the remain ing rooms on the fifth floor of the Com merce building as a lodge room for the V. C. T. is still being considered but it is reported that there is but a bare chance for the Commercial trav elers to engage the rooms. The rooms are hardly adapted to lodge purposes. T. A. Borman. of the Continental Creamery company, who is also chair man of the manufacturing committee of the Commercial club, addressed the students of the Topeka high school this morning on the different factories lo cated in the city. This is the result of an educational campaign recently started bv the Commercial club by which it is honed to interest the stud ents of the city and the public as well the number of manufacturing in dustries in the city, and the nature of each. Mr. Borman talked largely on the Continental Creamery company and the work which his plant is doing. Other addresses of a similar nature will be provided later on by John Pur- cell, who will talk about the Santa Fe hops, and representatives from the Wolff Packing House and other large industries. TO ENLARGE THEIR STORE ZEAATJfM.JVE'jE'Jrs THE LATE GOVERNOR LILLET OF CONNECTICUT AND. FRANK B. WEEKS, HIS SUCCESSOR. The Illness of the late Govaicor George L: Lllley of Connecticut dated from the congressional Investigation of a year ago which grew out of his charges of corruption In the procuring of contracts by the Electric Boat company and "its predecessor, the Holland company. His nomination and election to the governorship following this sensa tion were among the striking incidents of the campaign Of 1908. Mr. Lllley was born in Oxford, Mass., on Aug. 3, 1859, and first came into national prominence in 1908, when be was elected to congress. Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Weeks, who haa acted as governor since the illness of Mr. LiUey became critical, was born in Brooklyn, X. tn 1854, but since boyhood has resided in Middletown, Conn. He has been prominent in state politics for many yean. Doctors In the Schools. In the United States, Boston seems to be entitled to the credit of estab lishing the first regular system of medi cal inspection of schools. This was done in 189; but two years before this the sanitary Inspector of New Tork had appointed a medical in spector of schools, .who was probably Do Children Need Alcohol? Ask your doctor how often he prescribes an alcoholic stimulant tor children. He will probably say, "Very, very rarely." Ask him how often he prescribes a tonic for them. He will probably answer, "Very, very frequent ly." Then ask him about Ayer's non-alcoholic Sarsaparilla as a tonic for the young. the first medical officer of the public schools appointed in this country. In 1894 50 physicians were selected by the board of health to inspect the public schools of Boston. In 18 95 nine such inspectors were appointed in Chicago. In 1837. the1 board of health at New Tork appointed 134 medical inspectors for the public schools, with a chief, at a salary of $2,500 a year. In 1898 the bureau of health in Philadelphia passed' a resolution di recting that each of the fifteen assis tant medical inspectors shall visit one public school in his district each day. inspectin it accordin to the methods employed in Boston,- New Tork and Chicago. Since 1894 medical inspection of schools has been largely adopted throughout the United States, and in some states has developed frovn mere inspection for detecting contagious dis eases to systems calling for the most thorough physical examinations. Only 4 general state laws providing for or allowing medical inspections of schools have been passed.- "says the Medical Record. There is. so far as can be as certained, some form of medical in spection of schools in vogue at present In 70 cities In the United States out side of Massachusetts, but the United States is still behind Germany, and, for that matter, a number of foreign countries, in this Important move ment.

Death ended one of the fiercest fights between animals in years at the Bronx Park Zoological Gardens Sun day. Two llamas engaged In a battle wmcn lastea almost a nan nour De fore the keepers were able to venture close enough to interfere. The beautiful day brought thou sands of eight-fleers to the Zoo. The walks surrounding the llama corral were packed with people watching the herd eat their Sunday dinner. Blsslon and Morey. two of the herd, between whom there haa been a long-standing quarrel, came to blows when the food was distributed, and before keepers could be summoned the camels were in mortal battle. Persons watching the fight thought the. llamas were playing until cries of rage from Morey told that he was wounded. Sisnlon had struck him in the neck with her sharp hoof and the flesh was torn. A moment later the combatants were stretched out on the ground kicking and biting. All the cunning known to expert animal keepers was employed by Keepers Snyder, Quinn and McElroy when they surrounded the llamas. Each carried a long, sharp stick as a weap on in case tne rage of the- animals Should be turned on one of them. But the precaution was needless, so ab sorbed were Blssloo. and Morev In fighting each other. Finally the keep ers separated the llamas'. With their sticks as prodding irons they jumped in oetween tne cameis. They were too late. Morey was dy ing from the wounds Inflicted by 8fs- slon, and before remedies could be applied dropped dead.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JO" Tt;TUESDAY EVE fONG, APRIL 27, 1909. MAY END ON JUNE 1, (Continued on Page Eight.) Sarah MoKee. George Berry, Albert J. Weaver, Wilbur F. Sinkhorn, and Wil liam Sproul. Senator Aldrich has promised that tne la per cent ad valorem duty on pumice stone shall be raised to three- eighths of a cent per hundred, the rate Kansas and Nebraska producers have asked. The Washington Herald says: Kan as ought to be represented in the cabi net, according to Hayes I Philips, of Parsons, Kan,, who Is at the Raleigh. "Some Kansas statesmen who were In Washington recently brought a etory that Senator Bristow would op pose Representative Charles F. Scott for a cabinet position. Just what ails Bristow isn't known. Woe be unto him 1n Kansas, say the Republican leaders. If he should prevent Kansas from get ting a cabinet place. Everybody would be out after him with an axe when he came up for re-election as senator. "Kansas wants a member of the cab inet." continued Mr. Phillips, "and the senator or representative who stepped In the way and prevented it would find that he had started something that Jie couldn't stop. It Isn't likely that Bris tow would back Secretary Coburn for the place because he would have to break with his closest personal and po litical friend in Kansas Cyrus Leland to do that. Leland has no use for Coburn and he would no doubt use sufficient influence on Bristow to keep him away from Coburn. "The wise ones who are responsible for all this gossip are not sure just when Secretary Wilson will resign, but they feel sure that It will be some time this year." added Mr. Phillips. ."Mr. Wilson wanted to break the record of cabinet officer. By staying a few months under the Taft administra tion he will have served longer than nny other man In a cabinet. President Taft was willing to let him make that record. But as soon as it is made Mr. Wilson probably will fix a time for his own retirement." Mrs. Jennie H. Beneflel of White River. Ariz., haa requested the Rational Tribune of this city to obtain tor her, if possible, the present address of Will iam Dix, a Kansan. and who was a Union soldier. She writes: "I do not remember what state or regiment he belonged to. He was cap tured by the rebels and held as a pris oner till the war ended when he came to my father's home, in Madison county, Ind., and remained some months. When Mr. Dix came to our home he was a skeleton skin and bone and came very near dying from the effect of his prison life. After he got able to travel he left us, I think, about I860. Since than we have not heard from him. He Tnlght have been a member of a Kan sas regiment, as he had a brother, Pe ter Dix, in Kansas.

Great Water Power Plant at Mc- CaM's Ferry Kearhig Completion. Harrisburg, Pa. April 27. The damming of the Susquehanna river is a gigantic enterprise and when it la completed will distribute 150.000- horse power over electric wires to such manufacturing centers as Balti more, Washington, York, Lancaster. Philadelphia and Harrisburg, all 01 which lie within a radius of 75 miles of the dam. This is onlv one of many dams along the Susquehanna which engineers have estimated will produce over 400.000 electrical horse power when the series of stations is completed. McCall's ferry dam, as It is termed. is the largest of these and is now rap idly nearing completion. The dam it self is nearly 3,000 feet long and ranges in height from 60 to 100 feet. Its width at the bottom is 68 feet. Over 400,000 cubic yards of concrete were used in its construction. The dam is designed specially to withstand the ice packs and debris brought down on flood currents in addition to the great volume of water. The dam itself is now completed and work Is being rushed on the power house. When completed McCall's ferry plant will have the largest ca nacitv of anv In the United States, with the one exception of Niagara Falls. The equipment Is of the most modern and approved design.

Women of Muskogee Trying to Aid In City Election. Muskogee, Okla.. April 27. A bit terly contested election for a complete city ticket is in progress here today. The endorsement of the Haskell state administration and the race question are the chief issues. Governor Has kll is here personally directing the Democratic workers from his rooms in the hotel, while white women are holding praper meetings in support of the Democrat candidates. One-third of the voting population of the city is composed of negroes. By voting solidly Republican they have been dominating elections and have been rewarded by appointment to of fice. The "Lily White" Republicans are voting today with the Democrats, asserting that the. negro dives have been protected by the present city gov ernm?nt, which is Republican and that the "Jim Crow" law haa been made a dead letter here. INSANE MAN ESCAPES. Elmer Wells on Way to Topeka Jumps From Train at Paxico. Elmer Wells, an insane man being brought to Topeka for ntrance In the state hospital from Jewell county, broke away from the officers Just as the C. R. I. P. train was entering the town of Paxico, 25 miles west of Topeka. The hurried telephone messages came to Chief Eaton about 9:30 o'clock today from the excited officers after losing their prisoner. Well is described as 21 years old, smooth shaven, large scar on top of head, light complexioned, wore light suit or clothes, weight about 145 pounds. Jumping from the train the insane man ran east toward the creek and was r.ot seen afterwards. The officers thought it likely that he would later catch a train and have telephoned to all stations to watch for him. Patrol men at the Rock Island depot here are keeping a lookout for a man of that description. Great excitement Is loose in the quiet little fishing hamlet of Paxico. G AFFORD TO HOLD OVKR. State Accountant Will Be Appointed for Another Term. J. C. Gafford, state accountant, who was appointed by Governor Hoch four years ago, is to be one of the few, the very few of the old appointees to hold over under the new administration. Govenor Stubbs announced today that Mr. Gafford would be reappointed for another term and said a lot of nice things about Mr. Gafford's competency and manner of handling the work of his difficult office at the same time. -It is the state accountant's business to examine the records of all the state offices. He goes through the big books and the endless columns of figures and keeps his own counsel until he makes his report. If there is an error he is the one to protect the state. Judgment and honesty count much as ability in the office of state accountant. The present Incumbent appears to enjoy the complete confidence of the administra tion in this respect. Anyway, he is sure of his job as long as Governor Stubbs holds office. Search for Submerged Palace. The expedition left Llandudno. De ganwy, and Penmaenmawr yesterday afternoon with the object of tracing, if possible, the submerged palace of LlysHelig, a Welsh chieftain or the sixth century. The palace is said to be visible at very low tides at a point midway between Penmaenmawr and Great Ormes Head, but it cannot be said that yesterday's search establish ed its existence. The exploring party was divided Into two sections, one of which laid bare what looked like an old wall 130 yards long, with a short er wall running at right angles. The r.- -w J nr fin u sfr?P r y- Mi Call's I'erry Dam. rising of the tide compelled the ex plorers to leave the spot before com pleting their search. London Daily Mall. WILL USE PIPE ORGAN Prof. Penny to Give Recital at Open ing May Festival. Every day finds increased interest in the May music festival which will be held in the Auditorium Monday and Tuesday of next week. The work of rehearsing is going on and all the persons interested in the programme are working hard in an earnest effort to give Topeka the best treat possible in the musical line. "1 Mr. Hedge Who WU1 Be Heard at the May Festival. Arrangements were made this morning with Professor George Bar low Penny, who has consented to give a few selections 6rtropeka's -great pipe organ, which the-largest be tween Chicago and Salt Lake City. Professor Penny will give his selec tions next Monday afternoon. This will be followed by a song recital and lecture by Mr. Harry Barnhart, tenor, from New York city. Mr. Barnhart will lecture on American folk song. In his recital Mr. Barnhart will sing some American folk melodies such as Indian and negro songs. Prof. E. C. Wilm of Washburn col lege announces that the Washburn chorus of seventy-five voices is doing good work on the cantata, "The Rose Maiden," in which the soloists of the Minneapolis orchestra will sing the leading roles, accompanied by the chorus and full orchestra. This in itself promises to be one of the great est events ever pulled off in Topeka. The students of Washburn college and the public schools will sell tickets. The special issue of 1,6-00 tickets good for the entire festival at the rate of J1.25 is being exhausted and but a few are left on hand. These tickets save 75 cents on the entire programme of four entertainments. The First Lifeboat. Some may be surprised to learn that the first lifeboat, especially of the style of those adopted at the present time, is still in existence at Redcar, in York shire. This boat was placed at Redcar in the year 1802 to be used as a. boat "for saving life in storms or other dan gers to ships" coming into or near the mouth of the Tees. It was built bv a shipwright of the neighboring port of Sunderland from plans of his own in vention, and parliament considered his work so meritorious and advantageous that it voted him a sum of 1,200 as a reward for his time, trouble, and in genuity. This fine old boat did excel lent service for over 70 years, and then, owing to the introduction of newer types and better boats, it. was placed upon the "retired list" and transferred to the shed where it now is.

WHEAT It was said after the close that a number of traders who were long and failed to get out on the recent bulge unloaded yesterday and took the short side. It was also noticeable that a number of pit professionals who have been on the wrong side for months have been pressing the ehort side for a week and were offering lots of one hundred around the inside figures. Attention was called to downs being sold last night closer than the ups. This to the student of pit conditions indicates that the big selling on the decline has been by the shorts and at the finish last night the crowd were short. Traders who have been right of late say that on any further break today wheat should be very good buy. CORN Traders seem to be somewhat afraid of the short side of the corn market for the present, because of the small receipts, the good cash demand and the decrease in stocks. The ehorts have covered and many longs have taken profits. The price dip early yes terday morning brought investment buying of a very strong character and with the offerings light the advance was a very easy matter. OATS Oats specialists say the coun try is buying July and September oats heavily and especially the September which is construed as Indicating that they are not all satisfied with crop con ditions. Shorts are disposed to stand while many are inclined to go long be cause pries are low as compared with corn. Inter-Ocean. Northwest clear, cool. Chicago clear, fine. Chicago. April 27.

Harks Opening of the Western League Season. Finds a Marvelous Change in a Few Tears.' BUSINESS MEN SIGN. BOOST FOR WASHBURN Every Dept. all Over this Store Will Put ForA Majority Agree to Close Their Stores. Has a Good Word to Say for President Sanders. Extraordinary Efforts in 1 City and County Offices Fol low Suit. Makes Trip Through Kansas in an Automobile. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 27, 1909. ALTERMSiSJ liow; Price; Making Mayor William Green announced this afternoon to the State Journal that he would Issue a proclamation asking all the stores ti close for the opening of the Western League season Thursday afternoon, and the general observance of the afternoon as a holiday. Mayor Green did not say when the proclama tlon would be Issued but it will likely take place this afternoon or early to morrow morning. Mayor Davidson of. Wichita has already Issued a similar proclamation. At Lincoln the governor of Nebraska will pitch the first ball. The opening: of the Western League baseball season in Topeka Thursday afternoon promises to be a great event much bigger than was at first expect ed. Those who are pushing the move ment for the closing of the stores on that date are meeting with encourage ment at every turn. In the neighbor hood of 130 business houses have agreed to close on that date. From sections of the city not yet visited many re auests have come, asking that the pe tition blanks be sent around to their addresses so that they may get a chance to sign. The committee is work' ing on lower Kansas avenue and in North Topeka this afternoon. It is ex pected thac nearly every business house in the city will be closed from 2:30 Thursday afternoon. The dry goods stores of the city have decided not to close. This was brought about by the refusal of one firm to en ter into an agreement with the other members of the firm. The committee will be kept at work until every house in the city has been tu-ked to close. Very few refuse to af fix their names to the petition. The Santa Fe offices seem to be in favor of closing and it is not unlikely that consent will be given by the offi cials in authority. The Shawnee county court house will be closed during the afternoon. The city offices are also expected to close. Arrangements have been made to in vite Governor Stubbs to throw the first ball and have Mayor Green catch it with the big glove and mask. This will be worth the price of admission. The governor s.nd the mayor will ride in a special carriage at the head of the parade. The parade will start from the Throop hotel where the Lincoln team win stay while in Topeka. It is likely that the parade will go to North Topeka after v.nicn It win return along Kansas ave nue to Fifteenth street from where the carriages wttt turn "down "Fifteenth street to the baseball park. Cooley had an extended conference With Dr. Shively of the Western Asso ciation over the long distance telephone last night, and it is likely that the pennant will be sent here in time to be unfurled at the opening game. It is hardly likely, however, that Dr. Shive ly will be here. President O'Neill will not be able to attend, having some time Bgo promised to attend the opening in Wichita, but will likely send Jack Has kell, the chief of umolres here, and Mr. Haskell will welcome the city into the Western League. The following business houses had agreed to close their stores in honor of the opening of the Western league sea son in Topeka, which event" will oc cur Thursday afternoon: David Lakin J. C.

Brigadier General John Breckenridge Babcock, United States army, retired, died at sea yesterday, on board the steamer Prin Ftlederich Wilhelm, which ar rived here today from Bremen. Gen eral Babcock had been ill for a long time. His body was brought into port on the steamer. He was 66 years old. Our Noon-day Lunches Carefully prepared and ud excelled anywhere in the city for the money. Our meals are clean and wholesome, our bill-of-fare embraces all that is obtain able and the prices are ex ceedingly low considering the quality and quantity. Burt's Cafe 107 East Eighth St James A. De Boer, president of the National Life Insurance company of Vermont, a mammoth, company with an asset value of $40,000,000 is In the city today. He is making his head quarters with the Merriam Mortgage company at the Columbian building. Mr. De Boer came from Wichita to Topeka with the Merrlams in their big touring car. He will leave the state tomorrow on his way to the inter national peace conference at Chicago where he has been appointed as dele gate by the governor of Vermont. In epeaklngof the city Mr. De Boer said: "The last time I was In Topeka about ten years ago It was hardly pos sible to move real estate. The city was prosperous looking but under the surface it was impossible to make a change of any kind. Real estate is moving all the time and property is showing great signs of life. The financial standing and Institutions are right at the top and the credit is much stronger. Values have in creased wonderfully. The stores look letter and healthier building and im provement shows a marked increase. I feel assured that Topeka has re ceived a new spirit from some source or other and from the condition of the country and the looks of the peo pie I can readily see where Topeka has endless resources upon which to draw her spirit and enthusiasm. I have heard time and again of the beauty of this city and I am now able to view it. Tour broad avenues and beautiful parkings are undoubtedly among the prettiest of any city in the Union." In speaking of the public school svstem in the state ann tne conauion of the colleges and the universities. Mr. De Boer was surprised at the progress taken by Kansas and To peka. He said: "Back east we have hundreds of big colleges and universities with large endowments but let me tell you they don't seem to have the spirit that you people have here in Kansas. Take vour local college Washburn, I be lieve. The president of Washburn college is well known all over the east as an educator of high rank. And your instructors in Washburn are all high class men. In the east the col leges are noted for their high class of instruction but I can see signs of note all over the names of your To peka educators. The Agricultural college at Manhattan is another in stitution that has impressed me Of course Whburn is an example of the private endowed college. The Agricultural college is an example of a great state school. The buildings, the equipment and the grounds of the school at Manhattan are the finest I have ever seen in all my travels over the United States. Then I have noticed that your public school sys tem Is marvelous compared with the situation in the east take Pennsyl vania for instance. In Kansas you have over seven million dollars for public school use in Pennsylvania not a cent. This shows a big ad vancement over the eastern states." The National Life Insurance com pany has millions of dollars invested in Kansas land. This company does a big mortgage work in this state. Mr. De Boer said this morning to a State Journal reporter that at the present time not one dollar was due on any of their Kansas investments. This shows a great prosperity in the tate and also a spirit of care and business like knowledge on the part of the land owners. "Of course," said Mr. De Boer, "our business relies a great deal upon our correspondence that is our agents so to speak. Now take the Merriam company of your city they are with out a doubt one of the strongest cor respondents we have In all of our 36 states. This company is reliable and trustworthy in every way. They have an excellent knowledge of the lands and the estates of this gTeat state." Mr. De Boer was greatly surprised at the condition of the towns and cities of Kansas. In the trip between Wich ita and Topeka in the Merriam car he took a great interest in the roads, the bridges, the farms and the towns and cities. He said that out of all the 36 states in which the company had in vested its millions he considered Kan sas the safest and the strongest. The National Life Insurance company has a greater Investment in Kansas than any other state. ATTORNEYS CLASH. Opposing; Counsel in Calhoun Trial Nearly Come to Blows. San Iraneisco, April 27. "Never take any notice of a barking cur," said Francis J. Heney to Lewis F. By Ins-ton in this morning s session of the trial of Patrick Calhoun. "I may be a cur." said Bylngton, "but no trailing dog as you are." .Judge Lawler hastened to intervene as the warring attorneys stepped toward one another and warned the combatants that such language would not be tolerated, whereupon Mr. Heney. addressing at once the court and the five attorneys on the defense side of the room, said: 'I have heretofore notified the court that I do not intend to be assailed bv any person engaged In this case. I stood it when I was opposed by Henry Ache, but so help me God, I will not stand for it agmn." The outburst was the first that has oc curred in several days and marked the end of a Jong argument relating to admission or testimony given by James I. Gallagher on re-direct examination. Make Cgly Charges Against Husband. In a suit for divorce filed in district court this morning, the plaintiff makes some statements which would be un healthy for the defendant In some lo calities. Mrs. Minnie Anweiler says that she married George Anweiler Jn 1&S8. and that his treatment of her for some time was bad. Among the charges of extreme cruelty, gross neg lect and other incidentals common to a divorce suit, she incidentally mentions the alleged fact that he had beaten her up to such an extent that she had been compelled to undergo two surgical operations as a result.

HAD A SCARE FOR NOTHING. Farmers Thought Harmless Negro Wa9 a Wild Man. About a dozen husky farmers, arm ed with guns, pitchforks and other culinary uteosils, were frightened into a cold sweat last evening by one lone, harmless colored person. Jib Green ,a half-cracked old ne gro, got outside the eastern city limits In search of his favorite hunting grounds the garbage flump. He did n't offer to bite anyone, but he looked dangerous to the. farmers east of the cemetery. Beginning' shortly after noon yesterday, and lasting until late at night, the telephone at the county Jail and sheriff's residence was kept warm by anxious grangers who want ed the sheriff and large posse to corns right out and capture a dan gerous w ild man. The sheriff was busy, and had to start for Oklahoma at midnight. He asked th various telephoners if they had conversed with th suspect and knew him to be crazy and dangerous. No, not by a dang-sight they hadn't. They weren't going to monkey with any suspicious character1 but it was the sheriff's sworn duty to protect life and proper ty, and he should come out in a hur ry. As a last resort WUkerson and two deputies drove1 to the scene of the" trouble. First, they met a delegation of armed farmers, who from a safe distance were watching ;a smalt camp fire.

INSPECT BACK YARDS. had Civic Committee Makes Its First Tour of Season. To the Editor of the State Journal: Six members of the civic committee made their first tour of inspecting back yards of contestants for the sev eral prizes offered. We visited yards from Twenty-fourth and Lincoln to Fifth and Western -avenue, and will complete our first rounds within a few days. The committee made notes of present conditions, whether the yards were planted to flowers, shrubs or vegetables. Condition of fences, walks, chicken yards, back steps, porches and 'alleys. Some of the yards show very good promise of fine vegetables and where-these are well attended and neatly kept they are given credit. Some yards show that considerable care has been given,. "raking over" and throwing rubbish In a corner in the alley or under the hack porch is not considered marked improvement. One of the prettiest yards visited is on Buchanan street and though not one of the fine homes of the city, on the contrary, a very modest one. The yard will be attractive all. summer because of its neat appearance and successively blooming nowers. A chicken yard, a hen house or even a sand pile need not faer barred from an attractive back yard. The chicken fence wire may serve as a trellis for vines.

Dr. Charlie Howe returned from Okla homa City more enthusiastic about Oklahoma City than he was about the prospects of securing a one-seventh in terest in a million dollar piece of property within half a mile of the main business portion of the city and wholly surrounded ly fine residence property. The estate in which the Howes are Interested consists of a quarter section rt land which their father, Henry Howe, entered upon twenty years ago. at the time of the opening. He lived on it and occupied it as a farm until the time of his death, six years ago. and during all of that time he was compelled to resist litigation in the courts, instituted by third parties, on the ground that it was not properly tiled uon. E. W. Howe, one of the heirs, says that his father left sworn statement which displays the dishonor and jiertidy of a lawyer friend whom his father trusted, and if the same could be admitted as evidence upon the final hearing of this matter it would result In a complete restoration of this valu able tract of land to its rightful own ers.

ONE WHO WAS THERE Tells of the First Attack on the Armenians. Dead Bodies Were Scattered All About the Streets. Constantinople, April 27. There was a Xresh outbreak of fanaticism and murder last night at Adana, accom panied by looting and incendiarism. The situation there is critical. The following account of the. disor ders at Adana have been received here by telegraph from the Reverend Her bert Adam Gibbons, a missionary: "The entire villayet of Adana has been visited during the past five days by a terrible massacre of Armenians, the worst ever known in the history of the district. The terror has been uni versal, and the government is powerless to check the disorders, Adana, the cap ital of the province, has been the etorm center "Conditions have been unsettled for some time and there has been ani mosity between Turks and Armenians owing to the political activity of the latter and their open purchasing of arms. "Early last Wednesday morning, while I was. in the market, I noticed tha-t the Armenians were closing their shops and hurrying to their homes. An Armenian and a Turk had been killed during the night and the corpses were paraded through their, respective quar ters. The sight of the dead inflamed the inhabitants and crowds at once be gan to gather in the streets armed with sticks, axes and knives. A few young Armenians assembled in the center of the covered market and be gan firing revolvers into the air. By eleven o'clock In the morning, the crowds had begun the looting of shops. Hid Out for Two Days. -"The military commander of Adana was by my side in the market when the firing commenced. He had not the courage to endeavor to disperse the mob; he returned to his residence and rlirt nnr venture out for two days. "William Chambers, field secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, and myself proceeded to the Konak and found a. howling mob demanding arms with which to kill the Giaours. We then -went to the telegraph office to summons the British consul. On the steps of the building we saw three Ar menians who had been massacred. Their bodies had been mutilated. While we were in the telegraph office a mob burst into the room where we were and killed two Armenians before our eyes. The unfortunates were supplicating the protection of the Vaili, when they were struck down. "We managed to" make our way into the next room where we made repre sentations to the VaiH. This official said he could ,dT.-nothing. He was afraid of his own Hfe and he made no attempt to protect '"us. Somehow we managed to get into, the interior of the K,p.nak where we remained at the side of .the government officials for the next 48 hours. "That afternoon -the situation grew distinctly worse. The Armenians with drew to their quarter of Adana, which is situated on a hill and converted their houses that held "advantageous posi tioiisi into fortresses. Here the fighting went: on for two days, during which the Armenians succeeded in beating oft their- Turkish, assailants. I British Vice Consul Arrives. "Wednesday evening-Major Daughty Wylie. the British -vice consul at Mer sina, arrived at Adana and established headquarters In the home of A. Drago man, a wealthy Greek resident, where many refugees had been received. The wife of the consul who was brought into Adana, under' fire on Thursday. attended personally many wounded wo men and children. "Adana was a hell, buildings were looted and set on fire.- There was con tinued and unceasing shooting in every part, of the town and Are raged in many quarters. "Moslems from the neighborhood be gan pouring into the city, and making vehement, protests, the Vaili distribut ed arms to these men, alleging that they were Turkish reserves. "Major Daughty-Wylie, at the head of the troops which he compelled the Vaili to supply, went to the railroad end of the town and was successful in preventing the villagers from coming into Adana. Later while the major was attempting to pacify the town, he was shot and disabled. "Missionaries of the central Turkish mission had assembled for a district conference in the center of Adana on the day. of the outbreak. They re ceived and protected hundreds of refugees in the American seminary for girls and courageously endeavored to pacify the warrins elements. "On Thursday Daniel Miner Rogers and Henry -Maurer, American mission aries, were killed under treacherous circumstances. The Armenians Yield. "On Friday the Armenians yielded. since when there has been little mur dering. "Adana is in a pitiable condition. The town has been pillaged and destroyed and there are thousands of homeless people here without- means of liveli hood. It is Impossible to estimate the number of killed. The corpses lie scat tered through the street. Friday when I went out I had to pick my. way be tween the dead to avoid stepping on them. Saturday morning I counted a dozen cart loads of Armenian bodies in one-half hour being carried to the river and being thrown Into the water. In the Turkish cemeteries, graves are be ing dug by wholesale. "The condition of the refugees is most pitiable and heartrending. Not only are there orphans and widows be yond number but a great many, even the babies, are suffering from severe wounds. "On Friday afternoon. 230 so-called Turkish reserves, without officers, seized a train at Adana and com pelled the engineer to convey them to Tarsus, where they took part in the complete destruction of the Armenian quarter of that town, which is the best Dart of Tarsus. Their work of looting was thorough and rapid. It is said they spread with kerosene a.nd fired the ereat historic- Armenian churcn a Tarsus, the most important building In the city. They demolished marble statues and shattered important his toric tablets. Everything portable was carried away but the church itself re sisted their attempts to burn it. For tunately few persons were killed. This was owing to the proximity of the American college, where 4.000 destitute and homeless persons had sought and found shelter." Buy May Festival Tickets Xow.

Easter is three weeks to the wind ward but women who have not bought their spring hats will congratulate themselves on their procrastination when they note the marked reductions on street and tailored hats at Pickens this week. With the many monstrosities in headgear produced for ultra-fashion able wear this present season, a hat built on modified lines like this one comes as a welcome relief to the eye Wlille adhering to the modish lines, it is unexaggerated and would be ex ceedingly becoming. The color was mole gray, the straw a fine chip. Around the crown was twisted soft strands of tulle in self tone. The only other trimming was a novelty feather ornament of grey with dashes of black and here and there Just a touch of metallic blue. The whole exceedingly soft and "summery."
