ARE INJ10 HURRY Chanute Bankers Do Not Care for Guaranty Law. None of Them Will Come Under Its Provisions. STILL ARE TALKING Stone Appointment Continues to Be Source of Gossip. A Democratic Tiew of the Situ ation. Here Is a new phase of the guaranty of deposits question in Kansas. In Chanute where there are four banks, a large volume of business and a pop ulous community there seems to be no demand whatever for a participa tion by these banks in the guaranty scheme. One of these state bankers declares that only one of his deposi tors has ever mentioned the guaranty matter to him at all, and that was in the form of a cursory question as to whether or not he intended to join the guaranty association. There are four banks in Chanute, two state and two national banks. None of these In stitutions will Join the state or the na tional bankers' guaranty associations so long as public sentiment in their community remains at Its present stage of indifference over the matter. rrha -nanno hankers do not appear to be very enthusiastic over the new banking law, but will not make a final decision In the matter unui auer m State Bankers' convention next week. tv TnTiHAnA Ttpnorter. one of the Influential dallies of the Third congressional district, draws a moving picture of the frightful scenes of car nage sure to become a reality in the coming battle between McNeal and Anthony for. congress in the First district next summer. The Reporter might be called a machine paper, as the Third is a machine district, but it gives McNeal better than an even chance on account of his popularity and ability as a campaigner. The Re porter then refers to the coming struggle between Governor Stubbs and Senator Curtis as follows: "But this is not all. Governor Ftubbs and his friends are highly In censed over the Stone matter. They have blood In their eye. The die is cast and it is to be war to the teeth. The lines are being hard drawn. Feel ing runs high In both camps. Stubbs Is going after the scalp of Curtis. In the Third district the feeling is that Curtis has all the best of it, but Cur tis has always been popular down this way and Is widely known. He has done a great deal of campaigning here. He is of course strong In his own district. But his opponents point out that 'the Indian' is not well known over the state. In the western coun ties where Governor Stubbs is well known and strong, Curtis is almost a stranger. The contest will be with the people, by direct vote, and Stubbs counts his strength with the people. Curtis has not been before the people of the state as Stubbs has been and he has this disadvantage." Here is a Democratic view of the recent controversy growing out of the Robert Stone appointment to a place In the department of justice In Wash 'nerton. Barnev Sheridan's Paola Spirit one of the most influential Democratic newspapers in the state, takes the Stubbs side of the controversy as 101 lows: "While, perhaps. Democrats have no "look in' on a Republican row, we may be pardoned for going far enough only to say that In the recent controversy hetween Governor Stubbs and President Taft over the appointment of Mr. Robert Stone, of Topeka, to a position In the attorney general's office in "Washington, it is plain that Governor Stubbs has the best end or it. "As is often done, the president sought to break the fall of the failure of the rational bank guaranty matter for Stubbs bv tendering to him a personal appointment that is, giving him the right to name a Kansas Republican to assist in the office of the attorney gen eral of the United States. Many a president before Taft had done the same tort of thing. Governor Stubbs was told bv the president to name a man. The appointment of Mr. Stone was thereupon made. "After the appointment had been made, Mr. Stubbs did not express him self in the newspapers or otherwise. He didn't brag about It nor crow eith er. Some of his fool friends, however. along with his alert enemies, rushed Into print and made it appear that Stubbs had cleaned out the whole Re publican delegation from Kansas. A copy of the Topeka Capital with scare headlines, telling now stuDos had out witted his opponents within the Re publican party, was adroitly placed before Taft after a cabinet meeting just when he had come out of a lot o other troubles, and he hurriedly dictated the letter to the governor of Kansas which, for the time being at least, put istuoos in tne log. "After reading President Taft's let ter to Stubbs and Stubbs' letter to Taft. the average reader would sav that the letter of the Kansas gover nor Is the more dignified of the two. Evidently, if a mistake were made It was by the president and not the gov ernor." STABBED 24TIMES. Young Woman Badly Cut l"p in a Quarrel With C. P. Shea. New York, May 22. Alice Walsh, a young woman formerly of Chicago. was stabbed 24 times last night in a quarrel with Cornelius P. Shea, for jner president of the International L j3rotherhod of Teamsters. She will probably recover from her wounds. She was under treatment in Vincent's hospital today and the physicians there said they nad little doubt she would survive. Shea was arrested in the apartment in West Thirteenth street, where the quarrel took place. Willielniina Out for a Walk. Tiie Hague. May 22. Queen Wilhel mina, who gave birth to a daughter April 30, is now fully convalescent. She was out walking this morning in the palace grounds, accompanied by a nurse c&rrying the princess. WEATHER IS WARM. The Kansas River Is Continuing to Fan. The fair weather now in action prevails all over the state. Half an inch of rain fell in Sedan last night, but no other weather station in the state reports moisture. The river at Topeka is falling steadily, and stood at noon today, at 11.5, or seven tenths of a foot lower than it was at noon yesterday. It is now only two and one-half feet above normal. This afternoon the wind is blowing 12 miles an hour from the north east. The hourly temperatures: 7 o'clock 60 8 o'clock 62 9 o'clock 66 10 o'clock 68 11 o'clock. .70 12 o'clock 71 1 o'clock 73 2 o'clock 74 State of river 11.5 feet. TARIFF COMES FIRST. Senate Refuses to Consider Any Other Legislation. Washington May 22. Again today the senate demonstrated its ability to say no and stand by It, by reiterating Its determination to do no business in the way of legislation, while the tariff bill is pending. The refusal came in response to a request from Senator Burton to adopt a resolution authoriz ing the expenditure of unexpended bal ances of appropriations for river and harbor work. He brought in a report of the committee on commerce in sup port of his resolution and made an earn est plea for action at this time, saying that if there was greater postponement important public works would suffer, as contracts must necessarily be made at this season of the year. The last river and harbor bill he said had been passed in reliance upon the availability of these balances, and he pleaded that the good faith of the gov ernment was involved in the matter. He, however, met a stern objection from Senator Hale, of the committee on finance and when, after a time, there seemed a possibility of Mr. Hale's yielding, Senator Clapp came to the front and said that if Mr. Hale did Tiot stand by his objection, he, Mr. Clapp, would insist upon making one of his own. Even in the face' of the opposition of these two stalwarts Mr. Burton still pleaded although without avail. Messrs. Hale and Clapp took the po sition that if the bars were once let down, there would be no end to these requests for special action, with the result that the senate would be flooded with legislation, and there would be special exceptions which would render it Impossible for those who did not get in to make adequate explanations to their constituents. Mr. Burton wag told there would be plenty of time for the senate to act upon his resolution after the passage of the tariff bill. UNIVERSITY MASONS. Faculty and Students Stage "An Eigh teenth Century Lodge." Ann Arbor, Mich., May 22. Mem bers of "Craftsman," the Masonic or ganization composed of students and faculty of the University of Michigan, presented "An Eighteenth Century Lodge" at the Whitney theater. The play was witnessed only by Masons and is a portrayal of the lodge as con ducted in 1723. It was written ex pressly for the presentation by J. E. Morcombe, editor of the Tyler-Keystone. The staging and costuming were historically correct, Mr. Mor combe having had as co-laborers Ma sonic historical students in England and Ireland. The scene was laid in a room in the Old Thatched House Tavern in Lon don. As was then the custom, the youngest entered apprentice was re quired to perform all duties of pre paring the room for Masonic uses and afterward removing all signs of such use. DOG SAVES TWO LIVES.

BACKER OF CHAPMAN Tells What the Evangelist Is Doing in Australia. A Layman Is Appointed Vice Moderator of the Assembly. Denver, May 22. "Get out in auto mobiles, in carts, on curbstones, any where, only be sure you win men to the church," was the advice given the assembly of the Presbyterian church today by John H. Converse of Phila delphia, president of the Baldwin Lo comotive works, and a leading figure in the assembly. "There was a time when we of the Presbyterian church considered it be neath our dignity to preach the gospel except from the most luxurious churches," said Mr. Converse. "But that time has passed. It is time to go to the sinner and not ask the sinner to come to you." This doctrine Mr. Converse offered with his presentation of the report of the committee on evangelistic work of which ho is chairman. As proof of the value of evangelistic work done by the Presbyterian church he gave facts connected with the campaign of Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, revivalist, who is conducting meetings in Australia, backed financially by Mr. Converse. The latter was accorded an ovation as he took the platform and was given a vote of thanks for his activities in evangelistic work. The report of the committee on ministerial relief was also presented. This urged upon each congregation the work of contributing generously to the fund to be used in aid of super annuated clergymen whose salaries have not been sufficient to enable them to lay aside a competence. Brotherhood Report. The report of the Presbyterian brotherhood also was presented. This was done by Charles Holt of Chicago, the president of the organization. The report asked thatthe assembly lend its aid in the formation of synodical councils and in other ways of extend ing the brotherhood. Mr. Holt, who is a Chicago lawyer, was appointed vice moderator by Dr. Barkley near 'the close of the morn ing session. The selection of Mr. Holt, a layman, had been predicted, but nevertheless the announcement by Dr. Barkley brought a storm of applause. A few moment, later the gavel was turned over to him and he conducted the remainder of the session. This morning the woman's board of foreign missions held a rally with home missionaries. The meetings of this body will close next Wednesday. This evening there will be two popular meetings, one for men under the au spices of the brotherhood, and an other In behalf of evangelistc work. The following important committee chairmanships were announced by the moderator: Judicial Rev. J. Gray Bolton, Philadelphia; education. Dr. G. P. Hill. Chicago; foreign missions, Rev. Howard A. Johnston, Colorado Springs; ministerial relief. Rev. Josiah McLean, Salt Lake; finance, Joseph Tearence, New York; home missions, W. L. McEwan, Pittsburg; bills and overtures. Dr. B. P. Fullerton, St. Louis; polity. Rev. Morris D. Edwards, St. Paul. HALF DAY SESSION. Presbyterian Assembly Knocks Off Work at Noon. Denver. Colo., May 22. The re port of the committee on ministerial relief as well as that of the Presby terian brotherhood took up the at tention of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church this morn ing. The former report embracing the work of relief for ministers whose salaries in early life have not been sufficient for them to provide for their old age, provoked a general debate. A long and conjprehensive Farmer Cob urn la on Guju- f' report has been prepared by the committee representing the Presby terian brotherhood and this too, aroused much interest. This afternoon the commissioners or nearly all of them will visit West minster college at the invitation of i ine lacuity ana mere will be no busi ness session.

A big shakeup in the Boston National league team seems certain. President Dovey has been in New York for three days, and no one except those in the office knew his whereabouts.

Young Athletes Mate Good Time From First. REACH LAWRENCE 1:03 Topeka Runners Make Up Thirty-Two Minutes. Are Expected Back About 5:30 This Evening. Race Schedule. Start State house, 9:26 a. m. Lawrence 27 miles, 1:03 Time 3 hours 37 minutes. P. Return Left Lawrence 1:15 p. m. Expected in Topeka 5:30 p. m. At 9:26 this morning Governor Walter Roscoe Stubbs fired the shot, which, was the signal for Clyde Wat son, the initial runner at this end in the M. Y. C. A. criss-cross relay race, to speed on his course. Down Jackson street he ran at a brisk pace on his way to North Topeka, with an army of shouting small boys tagging along behind. The 89 boys who form the Topeka contingent gathered on the steps of the east wing of the capitol building. Th cries of the wildly excited youngsters and the "honk, honk" of the auto mobiles which were to drop the boys along the course might have led the casual passerby to imagine that all Bedlam had been let loose. It was a great day for the boys, who began to gather at the Y. M. C. A. head quarters at an early hour, to receive their assignments. Mayor Green's Message. The members of the Sioux team carried the message from Mayor William Green to Mayor Crittenden of Kansas City as far as Lawrence. From there the Sioux team of the Lawrence association are taking it to De Soto, and the last lap will be covered by Kansas City runners. The following is Mayor Green s message: Greetings: I, William GTeen, mayor of the cltv of Topeka. Kan., in behalf of the Central Y. M. C. A. boy's department, and through the courtesy and courage of its trained runners extend to you my slncerest congratulations because you and your great city have such a practical institution as the Y. M. C. A., and because it can and is developing the boys in the moral and physical ways that are necessary to make real men out of them. Such splendid boyhood will produce a highly efficient citizenship and Kan sas City may well be proud of every runner who bears its banner to the west. Given this 22d day of May, 1909. (Signed) WM. GREEN. Mayor. Runners Are Photographed. Prior to the start of the race a pho tograph was taken of the group of sprinters with Governor Stubbs in their midst. Mr. Jones, who is walking on a wager from Dallas, Texas, to Nome, Alaska, and return was includ ed in the grouip. Mr. J.. L. Montgomery and G. W. Seeley are following the Sioux runners through to Kansas City and will serve in the capacity of timers, clerks, and referees. From Kansas City Referee John Grover will follow the changing runners from Kansas City to Topeka. A telegram received this morning from Kansas City read in part: "Pre parations for the race have attracted mucn attention, and thousands of per sons cheered the runners on their way. The roads were soft and the going was poor." Messages have been received from J. L. Montgomery by phone from place to place along the course. At Grantvllle the boys were two minutes behind the time schedule for this run, but from Perry this message was received from Mr. Montgomery: "We are four min utes ahead of schedule time, the roads being in good condition, and every body is happy." At Williamstown things sufficiently favorable to predict that the 26 minutes lost before the start at Topeka would be made up and that the last runner of the Sioux team would arrive at the Lawrence Y. M. C. A. building at the time originally sche duled. This was done and the Topeka runners reached Lawrence at 1:03 p. m.. having made ud 32 minutes. The original schedule was 1:09 p. m.

The roads of England, France and Switzerland put our roads to shame. It is not so with our cities. In all our large cities we have hun dreds of miles of well paved streets and in some of the states there has been a decided improvement in the highways. "We now have three times as many miles of railroads as England, France and Germany combined. If the side tracks were counted we could have more than the rest of the world com bined. This facility for handling the products of this country has played a big part in our progress. "I want to impress upon you the Importance of providing means for carrying the products of the producer to the consumer. The better and cheaper we make this means the bet ter it will be for our country." A telegram was received from the Commercial club of Topeka, Kansas, asking that the next convention be held in that city. At the morning session the principal speech was by Congressman John A.

WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Wellington at Hutchinson. Strong City at Great Bend. McPherson at Newton. Lyons at Arkansas City. Junction City has a new second baseman by the name of Patterson who hails from Fredonia. Armstrong says that he Is well pleased with the Junction City lay out and thinks that it will develop into a winning combination. Well if there is anything in having a good manager Junction City ought to have one great team. The name of Abilene's prize catch er is Estel Shingle Bartley. Bartley ought to do pretty well in that cir cuit, even if he failed to stick in Topeka. Shaclet, a Junction City pitcher, got scared after the first practice and Jumped out of town on the first freight. At that Army says he had the ear marks of a comer. Bill Howey is doing some good work for the Twin City aggregation. Little Is taking his regular turn In the box and then subs on the infield and out field In cases of necessity. He lost his last game through some bad leaks in his support. The Salina Union says that Arm, stronsr is weeding his garden at Junc tion City. This is ambiguous. It does not say whether he is releasing outfielders or ridding the park of al falfa. Junction City will play a game with the Fort Riley team Sunday af ternoon. The State League race is devel oping into close one. The first divis ion teams are pretty well bunched. Butch Fi"eese clouted a home run a few davs, ago which helped the Strong City Twins to victory. The Arkansas City Grays haven't yet hit their stride according to tne Traveller, but this paper looks for the team to finish mighty near if not right at the top. Butch Freese must still be mighty Dooular in Hutchinson. Just as soon na he trot his Strong City aggrega tlon In first place, the Hutchlneon Topeka Ad club to shoot at the world. News rushed into print with a half tone of the former Salt Packer. The Lyons team seems to have re cuperated from the bum start and are now headed up the ladder. Pat Blackburn, one of Phil's um pires has quit the Job and. Alten of McPherson has been appointed in his stead. Abilene has finally come into the limelight with an announcement of the team's makeup. Here it is: J. W. Young, manager, Oswego, Kan.; Ward Arnold, Smith Center, Kan.; Daniel Johnson, Oswego, Kan.; H. W. Woods, Smith Center, Kan.; J. P.

Denver at Lincoln. Tomorrow our gallant athletes come home for a single spasm of one encoun ter with the Lincoln Greenbackers. The Topeka team to date has played ten games and has won four of them. Three of the eix lost were lost by close scores and were almost as good as victories. There is yet another game to be played ere the return home, and we may win. But win or lose, the Topeka team has made a creditable showing on the trip. It is the first invasion of territory in the Western- League, and when the team can make such a showing against teams that have been together for many seasons, and then come home with a percentage but a few points below the percentage wnen tne team ieii, it is a. worthy showing. Tomorrow we meet the Lincoln team, and with favorable weather, and a good crowd, the team ought to cop the highest score. Burnum and Johnson are now even.

Thev keot it up until the Topeka play ers began to get put of the cab atl the hotel. sy mis time xwo oi me fans who had been getting orr some pretty good sayings, were standing in front of the Henshaw cafe. Dick Cooley had taken a hand In the repartee by now and as he leaped out of the cab he turned on the two fans over the way and yelled: "Go on in that din ing room and put on your aprons and go to work fiow." The cheering of the crowd around forced the two fellows in. The Lincoln papers lay the loss of the first game to the umpires. An um pire ia a handy excuse.

Judging from his twirling of yester day it is little wonder. All that now remains to complete the recruiting of the Des Moines team from big league material is a pitcher, a shortstop and a second baseman. And now it seems likely that Grand Island Graham will be able to get back In the game after alL This Is certainly good news to Omaha and to the fans around the circuit as well, as Graham is a pretty popular play er. Guy Green of the- Lincoln team gives it out that the fans in Lincoln Mrs. Fiske, before Topeka noted actress, appears audience. will have no more short Inning games, on account of the players of the op position wishing to catch a train.' The games eay Mr. Green will have to start earner. The decision he says was the result of Outfielder Spencer of Pueblo wrangling for ten minutes with the umpire and thus knocking Lincoln out of a chance to win. Pllfthlfl Y a a atcmaii nnntA. nUnl, Herman Walters, who Is a brother of the Indians' second baseman. Wichita Eagle: Another dsv or so of such performances and the Job bers will be headed for the other end' of the percentage column. Rusty Owens the pitcher released a week or two ago by the Pueblo team has made good with a vengeance out at Stockholm in the California Outlaw circuit. In his first arjDear- ance he won his own game by a 8 to u anaii, uy n-iiucituig a mree-sacKer with the bases full and two men out. A I 1 1 In view of the declaration of Cap tain Fox of the Lincoln team at the opening of the season, to the effect that Topeka would be granted no courtesies in the matter of Catching tpains, the announcement as to short inning games made by the Omaha papers comes at an opportune time. Johnny Jones certainly had good control in that game with Denver when he won In a 16-innlng contest, for in all that time he never exuded one pass. Jimmy Frick, a former Western Association star who has been with the Toronto team for three years, has been shifted from a regular Job to a utility position. If the Topeka team only had a few of her former pitchers there would be a run away race by the lo cals. With Hagerman, Selby, Halla, and Tom Hughes, we could win a few games at least. But what's the use. We are going some right now for a new team, which has Jumped two classes. Out at Portland, where Danny-' Green is going, the fans get to see baseball every day of the season. McCreedle, who owns the Portland franchise ha sa team In the Pacific Coast league and also In the North- nrai Jtaft ui., auu lie uao ijio iwv schedules arranged so that there la never an offday. The two teams will arrive together tomorrow morning. Kansas City Journal: Catcher Boles is still In the bench, but he may -not be long, if Ritter continues to al- 1 low so many to steal. Boles is a good little catcher, and can hit as good as most of the backstops In the league. He Is a youngster, and pos- sesses all kinds of pepper. Boles went to President Tebeau yesterday and tried to get his release, so he could go to Topeka, or some place where he could work every day. He does not like bench wearing, and it Is not a good thing for a youngster. If he wants to improve he ought to be playing regular. He did not get the release, and will be playing here all summer. Des Moines Tribune: Jack Dalton says that the' story about his getting a trial with Comiskey because of ten hits In a row Is untrue. Dalton got eleven hits the first eleven times at bat in the American league. He got five hits in five times at bat against Cy Young, got four hits off anoth er Boston pitcher the next day, and got three more against Cicotte on the following day. He then knocked a little pop-up and went for twenty times at bat In succession without getting another safe one. Such is baseball. Des Moines Tribune: All of the eastern players on the Des Moines team, including Kirwan and Dwyer and others, have seen McDonnell the pitcher who is to Join the Des Moines team tomorrow, in action, and they say that In years past he has been a wonder. He possessed a spit ball with a great break and a world of speed. Des Moines surely needs an other right handed pitcher now. There Is also a possibility of Clarke's returning.

Charles Smith, Topeka Carpen ter, Has Railway Invention. Secures Patent on Xew Derrick for Use in Wrecks. ELIMINATES JACKS New Utensil Also Has Many Oth er Points of Merit. ther Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Charles Smith, a Topeka carpenter who lives at 331 Klein street, has se cured a patent on a new derrick, which is designed primarily to assist in the clearing of railroad wrecks. Mr. Smith has lived in Topeka a quarter of a cen tury and had spent all of his time -working at .his trade. He has several little inventions patented which he used In his trade. One of the principal objects of this invention of SIT. Smith is to provide a r.ovel form of derrick which is so mounted on a turntable or revolvable platform as to 'permit adjustment of the cerrick standard and boom to a posi tion at both sides and in front or rear of the car or other support, and which may be used without the employment of the usal bracing jacks that are com monly employed for the purpose of pre venting overturning in car derricks. A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of this class in which all of the working parts, includ ing the boiler, hoisting engines, wind ing drums and derrick are mounted on a single revolvable platform, the various parts being so disposed that the -weight of the boiler and engines will effect ually counter-balance any ordinary load which may be imposed on the der- The derrick can be mounted on any suitable support such as a railroad car, Boat or other structure. A number of railway men have be come interested in Mr. Smith's inven tion and have given the derrick some what of a trial and all pronounce it a success. It is much more simple in construction than the ordinary derrick used in railway service and is general ly believed to be more serviceable. Mr. Smith has made no arrangements as yet for the manufacture of this in vention, but it is likely that some steps will be taken to manufacture the der rick on a large scale providing the de mand for them proves great enough. An effort will also likely be made by Mr. Smith to interest some of the large railway manufacturing plants to buy this invention and supply the product to railroads. WOMEN ELECT OFFICERS.

ACROSS ENTIRE STATE. Missouri Pacific May Run New Train From Horace to K. C. Salina, Kan., May 22. The "dope" at the Missouri Pacific depot now has it that a new local service by the Mis souri Pacific will wend ita way around the Salina loop. This train is to run from Horace, out in Greeley county, and near Tri bune, to 'Kansas City. Whether or not the train will be put on isn't certain, but it is certain that the Missouri Pacific is consider-, ing the matter and is outlining a time table to that effect. If, when the time table is completed, it looks practical, the train will be started. One thing seems certain and that is that the Missouri Pacific is going to inaugurate another passenger train. Several arrangements are being con sidered but the Horace-Kansas City train looks best Just now. The question of extending fhe plug to Salina is also receiving attention. Wichita is hammering away for this extension and if Salina would co-operate in this request we would prob ably get out the old-time plug again. FOLLOWING SANTA FE PLAN. Northern Pacific Will Develop Dry Farming in Northwest. Chicago, May 22. After several years of study by its engineers, the Northern Pacific railroad has become so confident of the absolute success of "dry farming" that it will build a fifty mile extension from Glendive, Mont., north along the Yellowstone river.

ONE MORE AD CLUB Leavenworth Merchants Awaken to Importance of Movement. First Meeting a Success From Every Viewpoint. J. W.ROBIffSON SPOKE Topeka Booster Explained Work of Capital City Clnb. Merchants Expect to Interest 200 Firms Within 30 Days. Leavenworth, Kan., May 22. Of the fifty-seven men interested in the formation of the Leavenworth, Ad club forty-one signed the roll as members at the meeting held to perfect the or ganization in the club rooms of the Greater Leavenworth club. And if that great number consider the Ad club a good thing there is no reason why the club should not have, by its next business meeting, the first Tues day in June, a membership of 150, and it is thought before a month it will grow to at least 200. This la a rather roseate statement, but the en thusiasm that was shown was great, and those who failed to attend will have regrets that they were not there. The question asked by so many merchants who were requested to join the association: "What are you going to do with this wildcat or graft advertising?" was ably answered by J. W. Robinson of Topeka, chairman of a Topeka organization of mer chants, and if any merchant wants to know just what they do in Topeka all he has to do is to ask anyone who attended the meeting, for Mr. Rob inson's explanation was so explicit that a child could comprehend it. J. W. Robinson's Address. The real feature of the meeting was the address made by J. W. Rob inson of Topeka, relative to the man ner in which the Merchants' associa tion in that city gets away from graft or wildcat advertising. He told of the formation of the Topeka associa tion; that it was not opposed to pro gram advertising, if it was good ad vertising; that it did not oppose any thing that was good, but that it saved the Topeka merchants thousands of dollars in many ways. Regarding the Ad club, by way of introducing his subject, he said: "It creats a good feeling among the merchants. They get together, rub elbows, find out that the other fellow is a good fellow, and have a better opinion of each other and work to gether for a common good. Merchants Pay the Bills. "Relative to undesirable advertis ing I want to say the advertiser pays all the- advertising bills, whether in a newspaper or in any other publica tion. If it is bad the merchant pays as much for it as he would were it good. We do not all know what is good advertising, but we do know what is bad. "Five years ago the merchants of Topeka started the organization for the suppression of objectionable or unprofitable advertising. We had six members; now we have sixty-five and hope to have this year a mem bership of 200. We figured out that $30,000 was spent in unprofitable advertising by the merchants of To peka in 1908. and that we saved the merchants who belonged to our asso ciation $25,000." He told of the association printing the entire programme for or ganizations in Topeka that solicited ads from It and that one programme that had $115- worth of estimated ad vertising on it was printed by the organization for $4.75. The sixty five men saved $110.75 by having the work done. The speaker told of many graft schemes that were nipped by the organization. It didn't make any difference, he said, whether all of the Topeka mer chants belonged to it or not. Outside Merchants the Losers. The ones not in the association were the ones who were losingmoney by not Joining. A solicitor is given a Constipation deranges more iives with nervousness than any other abnormal condition.

The sixty five are Immune, but the ones not in the club are worried by the solicitor. After the solicitor has fin ished working the outside he goes to the club and obtains a certain percentage promised by the club, af ter" all other merchants have been seen. It usually costs from 75c to $2 for those in the association, this being taken from a general fund, while the merchant on the outside is stuck for from $5 to $25. TCRON AN UP TO DATE TOWN. Commercial Club-of 75 Members Spent $1,000 for Furniture. Turon, Kan.. May 22. Turon does not claim to be a metropolis or any thing of that kind but does claim that it is one of the most wideawake and up to date towns of its size in the world. There is no exception to this statement, nor do any ground rules bar any town of like size in the world from entering the contest. One of the evidences of the life and wideawakeness of the people of the town and surrounding country is the fact that it has a Commercial club with a membership of 75. Thirty-five the members boast that they are farmers and are able to substantiate their claims by exhibits of their hold ings in this county. The Commercial club is not a one-horse-affair by any means, but one that every member of the body is proud of and such a one as many cities of several times the population of Turon do not possess. Everything about it is as modern and up to date as it can be made and the furniture alone, which is of mission style, cost over a thousand dollars. ATTEMPTED TO BLACKMAIL. Three Greenleaf Boys in Trouble With the Government. Junction City, Kan., May 22. F. C. Hammond, a postofflce inspector, and U. -E. Need, deputy United States marshal, brought three boys, Harry Walker, George Rogers and. Clyde Carrier, here from Greenleaf and ar raigned them before John Brown, United States commissioner, on charge of sending blackmailing leters through the mails. The boys, none of them are more than sixteen or seventeen years of age, were bound over to the federal grand Jury which will be convened at the next term of the United States district court at Leavenworth. The bond of the Walker and Rogers boys was fixed at $500 each and that of the Carrier boy at $300. From state ments made by the officers it appears that the boys saw a man and woman at Greenleaf in a compromising posi tion and wrote blackmailing letters to the man. "A BIRD IN THE HAND,'' ETC. Farmer Schmidt Sells This Year's Wheat Crop for $1 a Bushel. Junction City, Kan., May 22. The Tyler Milling company has made a contract with W. G. Schmidt, one of Geary county's farmers, to buy all of the wheat he raises this year on his 65 acres of wheat land.

There will be several new teams on the Washburn schedule this season, CreighEon university, and the Bethany college team or llndsDorg. The season will open September 28 with the Topeka high school team, this game being merely a practice affair. A week later the Swedes from Llndsborg will be here. This will be tne nrst meet I lng between the two tarns since the mem i orable conflict of 1908, when the Swedes I came nearer defeating the Washburn team that any other team that season, the Blue going through the entire year without a defeat. The State Normal game will be played here October 9. The Normal team is not always a strong one, but coming as it does early in the season, the game is al ways a good one. From this time on the schedule will be heavy. The team will make a trip to Denver to play the strong Denver univer sity team on October 26, and this will be the first trip to Colorado since 1905. The D. U. team was the champion aggrega tion of Colorado last season. Some time during the week following the Washburn team will play at St. Marys, and will make a strenuotts effort to plaster on such a defeat that the sting of the St. Marys victory last season will have been entirely removed. The big game of the season for the To peka enthusiasts will be the annual battle with the Kansas university team which takes place Saturday, October 30. This game will undoubtedly settle the state championship honors. The Oklahoma game this season will not be played as a Thanksgiving game, the Sooners wishing to make other ar rangements. The game has been ad vanced in the. season and this year will De played at UKianoma c;ity .November o. For the following Saturday the sched ule has not been deflnitelv decided UDon. but it is probable that the Blue will bat tle against the strong Creighton college team at Omaha. The two teams have never met in rootban. (Jretghton is a Catholic school, and last season had one of the strongest teams in Nebraska. Should the arrangements for this game fall through however the Washburn team will meet Fairmount in Topeka on that date, but should the Creighton game be played Fairmount will play here a week later. November 20. The last game of the season, the Thanksgiving Day contest, will be played in Topeka with the strong Kansas Aggies. The Aggies have been endeavoring" to get this date with Washburn for a number of years, and the students will attend In large numbers, probably the entire stud ent body will be down to properly observe the holiday. Since the closing of even the good ly clubs about the town there are many more well denned thirsts at large than ever before and every de vise for bootlegging is. being given its Initial tryout. The man with the mere grip is put of date completely and stands no show to escape the officers. Various systems have been tried and many consignments of vinegar at $2 a quart have been shipped into the towns. But August Palm has hit a plan which so far distances any other yet conceived that the thirst club ought to order him a medal. It may be it was only a plan to minister to his In dividual wants. August is supposed to be a contractor or something. He has been locked in the police station times innumerable and he is crafty with the "let me off this time, judge, and I'll never darken the cop sanctum door again" line of talk. Often he has been let go, but the police no longer take his talk. Instead they con sider him a mean man and whenever a cop sees August, and August sees the cop, August tries to quietly and unostentatiously fade away. August was seen yesterday and not fading fast enough was picked up by Pa trolman Fribance Just because the of ficers get so tired of seeing him about the streets. But when first seen by the officer August was carrying a bicycle tire. He saw that Fribance saw him, but ap proached deliberately, only as he pass ed an alley he also passed the old tire behind a telegraph pole at the side of the bvwav. At the station the officer, when turning him over, thought of the strangeness of August with a bi cycle tire all Germany has not such a curiosity. There might be something to that tire he finally decided to him self and hastened back to where ho had found his captured eyesore. August's patrons had not followed, for there lay the tire, a Diamond sin gle tube half worn out and plugged in several places very much like a tire to be repaired but August could never ride a wheel. The cop grabbed the tire, but it felt heavy so he was mora careful. He squeezed It and something soused around inside. His eye9 bulged out a half inch and he looked at the valve top. The cap was screwed on just like any old tire. He screwed it off. Liquid, brown and odorous, spouted from the tube a veritable Fountain of Bacchus. The cop could scarcely restrain a shout of triumph. Whisky, an nai Ana no walked at a double quick to the sta tion, smiling delightedly and carrying his evidence carelessly over his shoulder. "Here sergeant, look here." he al most shouted, half inside the door. "What you got? Somebody lost a tire. Were they riding on the walk." "No, you fool, look here," But a spasm of dejection passed ov er his face as he reached to unscrew the cap. He had forgotten, in his glee, to stop the fountain and a faint smell something like the odor of al cholic tire cement was all that could be detected at the bung hole. Many South side people and some irom tne .first ward have been in quiring whether or not Garfield park is now open to the public. Therefore, be it known to whom it may concern, that Garfield park is open free to the puuno ana win be from now hence lorm ana for ever more. Accordingly the Sunday school girls can don their white frocks and hriner hnckotn nnrl boys with them to the park for an all day picnic. Then the happy hand- noiaers may also hold mutual ad miration socials in the park whenever uiey cnoose. However, laving all lokes on the sneir, uarheld park, with the improve uiems wnicn have Just been com pieted, otters a great attraction for picnickers and others who wish to spend a pleasant hour or two. There Is good boatinsr as Soldier creek runs through the park and offers as many advantages as any other stream near xopeita as a place for rowing. Fred Morns, secretary of the nark board, this morning said that he wished all people to know that Gar field park was open to the public free at any time for picnickers, etc., ex cept in cases where some entertain ment is to be held at the park for wnicn an entrance fee is charged. In such cases, he said, the park board will charge for the use of the grounds. C. E. Jordan, councilman from the First ward, is in favor of holding formal opening at some time in the near future. His idea is to have Marshall's band give a concert in the park some evening, as a sort of an "opening evening." H. H. Bair of 838 Kansas avenue will go to Winfield tomorrow for short visit and business trip. His in tended trip recalls to him the first timet when he went to Winfield In 1876, and his experience in a cyclone which destroyed a small town near there a few years later. "We came from Ohio to Kansas, said Mr. Bair, "in May, 1876. When we left Ohio it was cold, damp and foggy, so when we reached Kansas, with its blue sky and sunshine, it semed like we had entered a fine country. We went to Winfield from Wichita by stage. I remember that the stage stopped to let some of u pick wild flowers which covered the prairie. I think they were called 'indigo' flowers. When we entered Winfield it had only about 400 inhab itants. The postomce was in an old log cabin. Now Winnela is a fine lit tle city. One of the streets just east of Main street is called Church street because there are so many churches on thai thoroughfare. "A year or two after we located at Winfield, we moved to a farm several miles north of the town, near a small village called Flora. About 5 o clock Sunday evening, June 12, the town and our house was wiped out by cyclone. The storm lasted only a few moments, but it swept ev erything ir. the neighborhood clean. "Sunday afternoon we saw three fun nel shaped clouds which later combined and in the evening, swooped down on us. We escaped by lying flat down upon the prairie.

Plans are under way again for daily en tertainments in Topeka similar to the free ones at Salt Lake City. The plan to provide free half-hour, noonday, daily pipe organ recitals is now approaching definite shape. It is hoped mat auring the month or June this ex periment will be tried. At least 5,000 of Topeka's population are people working in the business center. There are from 200 to E00 visitors here daily, outside of convention weeks. About 700 Topeka people, it is estimated, eat their noonday meals down town; 100 or more eat their luncheon daily at the Commercial club and talk over matters of individual and public Interest, particu larly the latter. It is believed that a half-hour recital at the Auditorium would be a great feature for Topeka merchants, their clerks and the visitors who come here to trade. A free-recital Sunday afternoon. May 30th, will be given at the Auditorium by Mrs. Arza J. Clark, as the pipe organist: Miss Metta Legler, vocalist, and Mr. Cari Wood, violinist. The programme will be printea next Saturday.

Anti-Cruelty Crusaders Tour New York in an Automobile. Chicago. May 22. Sick horses hob bling about the streets were rescued yesterday by three women of the Anti Cruelty society which toured several districts in an automobile, following the formal opening of a "Haven for Horses" at Beverly Hills. The chauf feur is a special officer and on the seat beside him was a regular policeman. Mrs. R. L.' Gifford, who is chairman of the committee on prosecutions, act ed as lookout for the party. "There's a blinder" or "there s a lame one" or "there's a sore back," Mrs. Gifford would cry. Her an nouncement acted like "there she blows" upon a whaler. The big auto mobile would come to a sudden stop and the two men would approach the driver of horse that seemed In trouble and present a card of the Anti-Cruelty society and their credentials. They would examine the horse care fully and insist upon whatever was wrong being righted at once. In many cases the trouble was due to a blinder having become loose and flap ping against one eye of a horse. The policemen insisted on temporary re pairs at once and a promise to have the harness repaired at the first shop. Twenty drivers were stopped during the trip. FOTTNT BABY ON DOORSTEP.

BOCTWEMv-DE tOXG TKCH7BUE. Do Not Intend to Break the Say the Boutwells. Peace p. W. Boutwell, the elder princi pal in the ownership controversy over the title of farm land west of the city objects to the "feud" story printed recently, on the grounds that the facts were not fully detailed. In regard to the argument between the younger children of the two factions, Mr Boutwell says: "When the civil suit commenced, the court gave me possession of the orchard which is part of the place. About a week ago DeLong's cattle got into the orchard, and I sent my little granddaughter to drive them out. De Long's boy interfered with her at that time. The next day the cattle again invaded my orchard, and were damaging the berries and other small fruit growing there. My granddaugh ter again tried to drive them out, and was attacked by the DeLong boy. In defending herself she pushed him down and he yelled for his father, who was standing just outside the or chard, to come and help him. De Long is restrained from coming into my orchard, and that is the reason he sent his boy to Interfere with the little girl. "Also, the information that DeLong is Wehe's renter was evidently given out by his attorneys. He is not, and I have no quarrel against Mr. Wehe. I feel that he got the worst of it when he was sold property which rightfully belongs to me." Fred Boutwell says that he has no intention of fighting with DeLong. "About a year ago," he says, "this controversy started. At that time there had been some trouble, and the court appointed a receiver for the property for the express purpose of keeping the peace, and to make dou bly sure, placed my father and myself under bond to keep the peace. How ever, the court neglected to place the same conditions on DeLong, and it leaves us in a position where we must take the insults and Injuries of De Long without retaliation. The recent 'disturbance' was this: DeLong's boy assaulted my little girl while she was trying to drive the calves out of the orchard. The next day I came to the county officers to complain against his efforts to start a row, and while I was on this errand, the performance was repeated, but this time my little girl defended herself and threw the boy down. I do not want the court or the public to get the impression that I am a 'bad man' and seeking' to break the order of the court. I have no gun, nor have I any intention of fighting with DeLong."

"Every nation in the world is looking toward Kansas and they have all heard of Kansas I hear it on every side."

"The house of lords is the house of frauds." "The biggest brewers in England are the biggest lords Anheuser-Busch would be a great man in Great Brit ian. CARRY NATION". In room 241 at the National hotel there resides temporarily a little lively body who has undoubtedly made more history for Kansas than any other wo man in the country today. She is dress ed always in a plain simple black dress and as she entertains her visitors in the parlor just off from her room she bur ies herself in one of the big rocking chairs with her face turned toward the street and her clear snapping eyes flashing in the same manner that they did many years ago when this self same Carry A. Nation was a reign of terror as she walked up and down Kan sas avenue. It is a busy thoroughfare that Carry Nation looks over from the parlors of the National as she quietly discusses the days of old but it is not as ex citing as the days when she spent most of her time in the city jail and the rest of the time wielding the mighty hatchet, smashirg massive bar room mirrors and instilling fear into the heart of every liquor dealer in the city. Carry Nation is back it is true but Ehe enters Topeka and walks her streets as quietly as the quietest of strangers. An explanation of this is easy there is nothing more to do in Topeka and Carry is proud of the city ehe once conaemnea as a "neii on earth" and "disgrace to the citizens of Kansas." Mrs. Nation is here gathering some material and preparing manu script for a book, a new edition of which will be printed, sne leaves Mon day for Manhattan where she will speak on the same question and returning Wednesday, the 3d of June, she is plan ning to hold a big free meeting- in the Auditorium. "When the State Journal reporter first met Carry Nation this afternoon she was slowly rocking back and forth in a big rocker in the parlor of the Na tional, miraming a little tune tnat sne once3 ang witn venemence ana useu as a warcry on the streets of Topeka. 'You are a reporter I know you are you look it in the face you boys al ways seem as though you were a trav- eline newspaper witn a comic sup plement on one side of your face and a want ad column on the other," and she laughed, pointing to a chair Just opposite her a big rocker with an arm suitable tc catch the- empty scratch paper for casual notes. Stands Up for Kansas. "Now before you ask me any ques tions I want to tell you a few things I want to make you and your readers know Just how happy you should be on this side of the ocean.

ONE IN THREE Every Third Person Poisoned Coffee. by It is difficult to make people be lieve that coffee is an absolute poison to at least one person out of every three, but people are slowly finding it out, although thousands of them suf fer terribly before they discover the fact. A New York hotel man says: "Each time after drinking coffee I became restless, nervous and excited, so that I was unable to sit five min utes in one place, was also inclined to vomit and suffered from loss of sleep, which got worse and worse. "A lady said that perhaps coffee was the cause of my trouble and sug gested that I try Postum. I laughed at the thought that coffee hurt me, but she insisted so hard that J finally had some Postum made. I have been using it in place of coffee ever since, for I noticed that all my former ner vousness and irritation disappeared. I began to sleep perfectly, and the Pos tum tasted as good or better than the old coffee, so what was the use of sticking to a beverage that was ruin ing me "One day on an excursion up the country I remarked to a. young lady friend on her greatly improved ap pearance. She explained that some time before she had quit using coffee and taking Postum. "She had gained a number of pounds and her former palpitation of the heart, humming in the ears, trembling of the hands and legs and other disagreeable feelings had dis appeared. "She recommended me to quit cof fee and take Postum and was very much surprised to find that I had al ready made the change. "She said her brother had also re ceived great benefits from leaving off coffee and taking on Dostum." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest hibltion and ho one is more proud of the state than I." Carry Nation went on to tell of the many habits of the English. It was one of the most interesting little con versations ever engaged in by the reporter. She told of England and Scotland as they actually are no flowery articles spread with the usual sugar coating. Just plain English from the lips of a woman who can tell things just as they are. While Mrs. Nation was in Eng land she made a great sensation in London with her actions, her accusa tions and her fearless condemnations of the government. London went wild with her campaign for prohibi tion and her warfare against the evils of the great city. When asked to tell of her experiences in Great Britain, Carry looked at the re porter a minute and then moving the chair a little closer she said: "I am going to tell you something I have never told a newspaper be fore. "I am going to tell you the whole story of the first, and only time I was ever before an English magistrate." And looking around the parlor making sure that she was not the center of attraction the brave little woman gave the intensely In teresting account of her arrest and fine. It seems that one day while travel ing in the "Tubes" of London she snied the picture of a man and a rabbit smoking cigarettes in the car Just above her head. Realizing that such, vile pictures Influenced the younger generations to smoke she rose in the car ana as&ea tne pas sengers who inserted that sign there. No one knew. She then told the pas sengers in the car that It ought to be smashed and ended up by declar ing that if she had something .to wield with she would smash it. A lady nearby handed over her umbrella and reaching above her head with the head of the cover she broke the glass covering the sign 1 n t rv a. thousand pieces. The con ductor took her name and address and in a few days she received a summons to appear before the magistrate. The trial was one of the hitr barmen in es in London. It was ith interest. Carry acted as her own lawyer and in telling of her plea to the magistrate, sne saia Exnerienoe With English Judge. "I first called him judge and he smiled.

When Carrv" Nation said she could prove vir- a co hv a 'decision of the su preme court' the magistrate stopped hpr miirUlv and said: "Mrs Nation, we do not try by the courts of the United States." At this juncture Mrs. Nation pulled out her Bible and criea: i-nis u nt-oma emirt nf which I am speak ing." She was given a very small or,i c. srntchman came to the frnt onrr nnid it. elad of the honor It- took the reporter a long time trying to get Mrs. Nation to talk nhnut local affairs. She insisted upon talking about Great Britain and her conversation upon the sub ject was very interesting, in spean ins- nf Toneka Mrs. Nation said: "Oh. I do love Topeka. I have never seen a more beautiful city in all my travels. And the people are on much more civil and educated hem than elsewhere. They show tvieir Wnc blood their good breed ine wherever you go. Topeka is not booming as a city. But I can see o-rent Rtrides since I was here last. Trwroi-irthincr is so steady and per manont in Toneka. Oh, I can't say enough good things about this city I love the atmospnere, me ptruyic, the friends and all. r!T.,r ugn irreatlv interested in the political situations of the city and state. Will CaU on Stubbs. It is Mrs. Nation's intention to go up and see Governor Stubbs. On laspninir that he was the man who rfofontert fv Leland she seemed tiricled and commented "Well, could like Mr. Stubbs for that one thing defeating that man Leland. Mr. Leland was a very crooked politician and a man who should be t rt Tfnnsas nolitics." She would have very little to say about the liquor problem. In fact she has plenty to say on this Bubject when she makes her talk in the Auditorium. She said that it was but a question of time until prohibition would extend all over the United States. There Is also a great uprising in favor of it in England. Carry Nation will wage her next war against pool halls. She says they are "the setting hens of hell" and claims they will hatch out the worst kinds of devils. She insists that it is in the pool hall where the young boy first learns to be idle, worthless and also to be a gambler. The new cigar ette law is also receiving many com pliments from the famous "home de fender." She visited the pool rooms and smoke houses in Topeka last night and delivered impromptu lectures. Just before the reporter left the room Carry Nation asked him to wait a few moments while she gave him a present. Retiring to her room just off from the parlor she remained a few seconds and returning she pinned upon the reporter's coat a pretty gilded hatchet with a pearl head and flashy stone setting. "This head represents the stones I first used," explained Carry. "The stone is an emblem of purity and my name 'Carry A. Nation' is the battle cry of my followers Carry A Nation and we are going to carry lots of them." "And now," said the woman who has made Kansas famous "I want you to keep this little hatchet. Show it to your children long after I am gone and tell them that Carry Nation pinned it upon your coat. You will be just as proud of the honor as I am" and the reporter backed toward the elevator with his hat in one hand, the pad in the other and a little smil ing woman with flashing gray eyes wishing him good success. It was a valuable afternoon spent with a woman heralded all over Great Britain as the "Dauntless heaven appointed Carry Nation." Tornado In Texas. Waxahachie, Tex., May 22.

Stamey, whose barn was burn ed last Sunday night, is indignant at some of the stories which the police have circulated in regard to the burn ing of the barn which he had leased, which took place last Sunday night. Mr. Stamey believes that the police purposely circulated a report that 1. had started the fire on his own re sponsibility, as the insurance had been cancelled. Mr. Stamey denies any such a motive and furthermore denies that the insurance was cancelled. Mr. Stamey was also greatly offended at the efforts of the police to fasten the crime of incendiarism on his young son, The police, according to Mr. Stamey, claimed that they were watching the barn on the evening of the fire, and in this event, he thinks it is a neglect of duty that allowed the fire to take place Mr. Stamey once had some, trouble with some undesirable parties and on the occasion of each of his three fires, all of which have happened within the past eight months, he has notified the police of his suspicions, but in no instance have they investigated these parties. Another feature of the ca3e in which Mr. Stamey does not believe the police acted right, was the re moval of the remains of the fire horses moval of the remains of five horses Stamey was charged $22.50 for the job, which is greatly In excess of the regular legal rate.

Commencement exercises will be held at the Auditorium on June '4, when the largest class in the history' of the To peka high school will be. graduated. The Rev. Mr. John B. Silcox. of Kan sas City, will deliver the commence ment address. There should be 110 in the class but at the present time a r.umber of names do not appear as there are a few students who are be hind in some of their studies, but who have a chance to make up their de linquency between now and the closing day of school. The total enrollment for the year is 1 220 students, the grad tiating class representing, 14 per cent of this number. The aim of the Topeka high school is to make it possible for every graduate to enter first-class colleges and uni versities if it is desired to do so, and et the same time provide such a gen eral training as to give those who do not enter college an all-round course of drill. It might be of interest to note that over 60 per cent of the graduates from the high school enter some higher educational Institution. Out of the class which was graduated last June com posed of 99 members. 60 are now in college. Practically every one who graduates has enough credit to enter college on the basis of the standard 15 units made up of languages, science, history, mathematics, and English. All of the graduates have the opportunity of electing some additional work, in manual training, drawing, domestic art end science, and the girls have had one year or more of physical training. Dr. Charles M. Sheldon will deliver the class sermon on Sunday, May 30 although it has not been decided defin itely where this event will take place. The following students have their work in a satisfactory shape for grad uation: May Anderson, Alice Andrews, Eva Appleton, Katie Bacon, Mayo Badders, Harold Bailey, Adele Bang hart, Hazel Barton.

Bertie McGreal in the British army register, officers of the United States army stationed at Governors Island be lieve today that they have been wast ing and otherwise paying- high honors to an umbrella salesman. Several days ago a tall distinguished looking man with a monocle and a heavy Eng lish accent presented himself at the headquarters of the department of the east on Governors Island and asked for the officer of the day. Lieutenant M. Janney of the Twelfth Infantry. The stranger's card besides his name carried the legend that he was' com mander of the Seventh Dragoons of the British army, stationed at Canter bury. He said he was stopping at the Hotel Knickerbocker with his secre tary and a chauffeur and had a high power car with him. He also said he was accompanied by a Commander Major Banks of the Royal Navy who was inspecting the Brooklyn navy yard. Major Bertie-McGreal" was warm ly received by the army officers and for several days was extensively en tertained. Major, John S. Mallory of the Twelfth, and -Captain Halstead Dorey. who is General Wood's aide gave him a semi-official dinner and Capt. K. B. Smith kept him over night at his house. "Major Bertie-McGreal" was at Governors Island daily and among the many officers he took a special fancy to Lieutenant Leo Dewey. The lieu tenant kept him over night several times but yesterday morning when the "major" appeared at the headquarters after having had apparently a stren uous night, the lieutenant put him to Bed again and called up the hotel Knickerbocker to request the "Ma jor's" automobile and chauffeur ba sent down for him. Instead the ho tel sent its house detective and de manded pay of a fifty-two dollar board bill. While the stranger in duced a young- woman" friend to ad vance the money for him a search of his one piece of baggage at the hotel revealed his conneewon with an um brella house at Niagara Falls. He had no secretary, no automobile, no chauffeur so far as officers could dis cover and Commander Major Banks was not known. The "Major" is not described in the British army register.

After mixing the poison In a tin dipper at his well ana drinking it, the aged man calmly lay down to die. His wife discovered him, how ever, and called a physician who vainly endeavored to save "Uncle Billy's" life. Uncle Billy's widow is past 80 years of age.

Positive proof of the discovery of America more than a century before the landing of Colum bus is the claim made for a stone bearing an inscription in runic charT acters and the date 1362 by its owner, Kjalmar Rued Holand of Ephraim, Wis., curator of the Sohs of Norway Historical Archives. The runestone, so called because of its runic characters, has been placed on exhibition in the rooms of the Chicago Historical society. The stone -was found in Douglas county, Minnesota. Copies of the inscription and photo- graiphs have been sent to the Univer sity of Christians, where no valid crit icism of its authenticity was offered. The inscription as translated reads as follows: 'Eight Goths and 22 Norwegians upon a voyage or discovery from Viniana westward. 'We had a camp by two skerries one day s journey north from this stone, We were out fishing one day. When we returned we found ten men red with blood and dead. Ave Maria, save us from evil. 'We have ten men b the sea to look after our vessel, 41 days' journey from this Island. Year 1362". Runic characters, in which the in scription was written, are believed to have originated with the Phoenicians and are known to have been used by the early Norsemen. The. language, as explained by the translator, is that of early times in southern Sweden and is not greatly difterent from the Nor wegian language of the present time. The stone is in an excellent state or preservation, and most of the characters are perfect. STOCKS ARE STRONG. No Longer Any Feeling of Apprehen sion on Wall Street. New York, May 22.

Last vear the merchants' week was held July 15, 16 and 17. At the ban quet given in honor of the occasion, 600 were present. This year Indica tions are that the number Who will at tend will be double that of last year. The banquet, according to present plans, will be held in the auditorium and something novel in the way of an entertainment will be provided for the occasion. Geo. P. McEntire is chairman of the banquet committee. Besides the banquet, arrangements are being made for a band concert by Marshall's band to be held Thursday evening, June 24. It is the intention of the committee In charge of the mu sic to make music one of the best features of the program. J. K. Bair is chairman. Another committee, of which W. H. Davis is chairman, will arrange with the Street Car company for a "See ing Topeka Car" for the benefit of the visitors. This will give the out of town people a chance to see how de sirable a residence place is offered by Topeka. "We are receiving many inquiries already as to this affair from out of town merchants," said Mr. Lux this morning. "We expect from this and other indications to have at least 1,200 present at the banquet. We in tend to do our best to make this year's merchants week in Topeka the great est event Topeka has ever seen and wish a full attendance of the mem bers of the Jobbers' and Manufac turers' association at the meeting Monday night."

Maybe he will say something about that Stone appointment. E. D. Mc Keever is to make an address on "Short Terms in Office."

From 10 o'clock in the forenoon until 8 o'clock in the afternoon business was suspended. Drapings hung from all the public buildings, most of which had been tvresented to Fair Haven by Mr. Rogers, and throughout the town flags were at half mast. Everywhere there were evidence of sincere grief of the townspeople. The funeral party arrived here on a special train from New-York last night and the body or the capitalist was ta ken to his summer home- at Ft. Phoe nix. This afternoon, it was carried to the Unitarian Memorial church, which mas built by Mr. Rogers as a tribute to his mother.

Governor Stubbs Issues Lengthy Proclamation for Its Observance. Monday. May 31. will be observed as Memorial day this year, as May 30 comes on Sunday. As the G. A. R. requested it Gov. Stubbs has made May 31 the official day in his proclamation, which reads as "fol lows: Governor's Proclamation. To the People of Kansas, Greeting: By custom and by statute the American people have set apart one day in each year In which to com memorate with suitable ceremonies the preservation of the republic through the tribulations of the Civil war, and to perpetuate the memory of the brave men who fought and fell to preserve the Union and the supremacy of the national govern ment. The Kansas statute on this subject reads as follows: "Whereas. The loyal people of the United States, inspired by a sen- timent of reverent respect for the memory of our heroic dead, have by spontaneous consent dedicated the thirtieth day of May of each year to ceremonies In honor of the soldiers who cheerfully sacrificed their own lives to save the life of the repub lic. 'They need no praise whose deeds are eulogy, and nothing that we can now say or do will add to the glory or brighten the fame o that gallant host who a quarter of a century ago came thronging from farms, workshops, offices and schools, to fight, to suffer, and to die for the Union and freedom. But the story of their sublime self-sacrifice and their dauntless courage should be kept forever fresh and fair in the hearts and minds of the young, un til the end of recorded time. So long as men and women teach their chil dren to revere the memory of patriot heroes, so long as the peaceful pres ent honors and emulates the example of the war-worn past, there need be no fear that the dead have died in vain, or that 'a government of the people, by the people, for the peo ple' will perish from the earth. The steadily growing popularity of Mem orial day, and the universal interest taken in its beautiful ceremonies, is one of the most hopeful develop ments of American sentiment; there fore "Be it Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas: "Section 1. That the thirtieth, day of May of each year shall be and the same is hereby declared to be a legal holiday." As the thirtieth day of May falls on Sunday this year, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Kansas de partment of that noble order have recommended that Memorial day be observed on Monday, May 31, where other arrangements have not been already made. It is appropriate .that so far as convenient there should be uniform ity in the date, and it is fitting that deference should be paid to the wishes of the- principal patriotic so ciety of the United States, the Grand Army of the Republic. Therefore, I, W. R. Stubbs. gover nor of the state of Kansas, do here by designate Monday the thirty-first day of May, A. D. 1909, as a day for the observance of the ceremonies pertaining to Memorial day, and urge the people of Kansas on that day to lay aside, as far as possible, their usual avocations, and to ob serve the said day with suitable and appropriate ceremonies for the in culcation of patriotism and in grate ful appreciation of the deeds and services of the soldiers and sailors of the Civil war.

Governor Stubbs is much interested in the Young Men's Christian association movement and donated a large sum of money to the Y. M. C. A. building at Law rence. The local secretary, Mr. R. E. Mor gan, is a young man of strong individ uality, with a good reserve of push and energy to back up the enterprise. His Christian character will safeguard the spiritual influence of the institution. He is an athelete and will give special at tention to physical direction. Mankato is one of the 20 towns in Kansas with an exclusive Young Men's Christian association building and or ganization. The wealth of Mankato will see that it is a financial success and the churches are pushing it on to a spiritual success because they realize that it reaches into a field the church can not penetrate.

New York, May 22. Bradstreet's says: Weather conditions continue irreg ular, but a change for the better has occurred in staple crop conditions and retail business is slightly improved, though disappointing and showing evidence of the repression heretofore evident. Recorded business from job ber and wholesalers has been rather quiet but there is, if anything,, a more assured optimism permeating the re ports as to the outlook for next fall and winter's trade. All indications of activity have to do with future trade, the expectation being that the remov al of tariff uncertainty will give an impetus to general business. Retail trade, though better than a year ago, has been, on the whole, disappointing.

WHEAT Bullish sen timent dominated the late gossip after the close last night. Traders taking their cue from the advance In foreign markets and on the uncertainties regarding the crops abroad. Private cables from Liverpool for two days have noted the unfavorable conditions of the crops in Germany, parts of Russia, Roirmania and France. Rour mania had a little rain yesterday but not enough to affect the markets and the Eharp advance in Budapest is taken as an indication of the real bullish condition of the crops backed up by limited supplies. Pit traders say the market -here is a creeping one, prices moving irregularly, as continental markets come in at differ ent periods. It is said some of the large holders are taking profits on the bulges. CORN Reports regarding the country movement of corn are much mixed. Re ceiving houses and large cash handlers say they are getting more notices of con signments, but that interior acceptances, while good in a few sections are not at all general. There is one point that trad ers agree upon, which is that the big movement will be larger than It has been as the railroads are getting more orders for cars and cash premiums, which have been 6 and 7 cents over the July are be ing cut down and can stand a further re duction. With the break It the sample market yesterday of 2 cents it still left No. 3 corn 4 to 5 cents over July. OATS May oats in advancing to 60c yesterday made a new high record price that has not been equalled in many years and it is hard to find a period when oats sold so high. Several of the oats special ists figure that there are not an open in terest to exceed one million bushels and the expectation is that about 700,000 bush els will be delivered by two houses next week. Inter-Ocean. Liverpool, May 22. WHEAT Wheat opened firm. There was active covering by shorts on unfavorable reports from Germany and Hungary and strength in country markets. Manitoba offerings were light and dearer. During the morning the market suffered a severe reaction on ex pected heavy shipments from Russia this week. The opening was d to d higher on wheat but closed d lower to d higher. CORN Market dull but firm on firm ness of La Platta offerings. BroomhalL Chicago. May 22. WHEAT No one can tell at this writing whether the local trade will take some profits this morn ing, and then close the market strong and higher for the week, or whether there will be a further good advance this morn ing and then a later setback on general profit taking before the close. The im portant fact to consider is that May wheat in all markets In this country closed yesterday at prices ranging from $1.29 at Kansas City to $1.53 at Toledo. These May contracts are up because cash wheat is at fancy figures everywhere and supplies scarce. Think of it outside of Minneapolis receipts, primary markets yesterday had less than 40,000 Bushels of wheat. St. Louis had practically no wheat, the small stocks remaining there ESTABLISHED 1S63 ABSOLUTELY THE BEST GIVE US A TEST We An in the Market for All Grades WRITE US AT ONCE James C. Smith Co. Topeka, Kansas belonging chiefly to one miller. We feel that there is but one side to this market based on such strong commercial condi tions at home and abroad, but It may be wise to have buying orders filled on good depressions If they occur. CORN Corn is a tough proposition to forecast because of the unusual situa tion in the May and cash prices. It is conceded that country offerings have been largely increased for a few days. Cash Prices broke 2 cents under heavier ar rivals yesterday. At the same time the country bought corn for the deferred months on the break and some of the re ceivers claimed a letup In country offer ings because of the lower bids sent out. We still advise cautious sales of corn on the strong swells. Logan Bryan. Chicago, May 22. John Inglis writes us from Scott City, Kansas, as follows: "Wired you from Great Bend today. Con ditions worse the further west you go. Acreage has been greatly reduced by plow ing up, and the recent rams have started them to plowing again. So much thin and blown out the farmers consider it safer to plow it up and put the ground in coin and kaffir corn. Wheat looks bad, but as it is only out four Inches high and not headed recent rains have helped it with ample moisture on that which is fairly promising. They may raise considerable wheat but unless coupious rains come in two weeks it will be a failure. Light rain today. Heavy black clouds tonight looks like a storm coming." Logan Bryan.

Would Send the Ahrens Steamer to North Topeka. ANY BUILDINGS HERE Big Mills on North Side Long Distance From Engines. Other Items of Interest From City Building. If the city council performs its duty and grants Chief Wilmarth what he is asking for the betterment of the fire department it will mean a great thing for the Are protection of Topeka. The plans of the fire chief cover every weakness in the present department rather it should be called a shortcom ing, a lack of equipment for the fight ing of fires which win make itself clear to the citizens and the city officials as soon as a combination of circum stances cause one or two big fires and the department is unable to furnish men and equipment to take care of conflagration. Chief Wilmarth proposes to give an extra man to each company in the city, two extra at the headquarters station, put a number of additional fire alarm boxes over the city, and buy a new fire engine with the necessary equip ment to average the settlement of each. This would practically give Topeka what Is necessary in the Are protection line. There has been a wrong impression given out concerning the disposal of the older steamer and It is an injus tice to the people on the North side who have the benefit of the use of the engine. If the plans of the fire marshal meet with the approval of the city council it means that the steamer now in service at the headquarters which was built over a few years ago will be transferred to the North side station. This steamer is eimply an extra. There is not a company of men assigned to it and the equipment is purloined from the other steamer. If taken over- to the North side is would be assigned a com pany, an engineer, hose and all. And it is badly needed over there. There are a number of large flour mills, planing mills, factories and hotels for the pro tection from this station. It takes a number of minutes for the teams from the headquarters station to haul a big engine over to North Topeka and dur ing this time a fire can do considerable damage and gain a big headway. The Metropolitan engine is fully equipped and is under the care of a good company Engineer Robinson, Assistant Boltinghouse, Driver Cawker and Fireman Hlgbee. It is the first en gine to respond to down town alarms and is one of the best steamers on the market todav. It is a second size Met- ropolitan. Chief Wilmarth wishes for liis new steamer an extra first size ma chine. This is similar to the one in use at Wichita. This steamer will be placed in some central portion of the city and used for the down town alarms. It will be in the hands of a competent company. At the present time when a down town call comes in everything on wheels leaves the headquarters station. Nothing is left there to respond to alarms. Naturally a company comes to "fill up" but there is such a case an the second alarm coming In at almost the same time. It Is not uncommon for two fires at the same time. In Topeka with the present equipment and com panies two big fires at the same time would bring very disastrous results. Three fires at the same time would be a mighty question. Chief Wilmarth is not trying to drain the city treasury with his recommen dations but he is making it plain to the city just what is needed to put the fire department in good form. The fire department at this time is costing the city less than the cost per capita of any city of this size in the country. The city has grown rapidly in the last ten years but the Are department has grown very little. There is consider able fear expressed at the city hall over the fact that some of the council men are not going to support the rec ommendations of the fire chief. It means an additional expense It is true but if the administration does noth ing but cut expenses there can be little good done along the line of Improve ments. City Engineer Rogers will be able to take care of the patching of the, To peka pavements after all and he will have the power to have the paving replaced In as good condition as when it was removed. The city attorney is remodeling the ordinance to this ef fect at the present time. It means that Mr. Rogers will be able to carry out his plans and remedy an evil that has been going on in this city for many years. It has been customary ror the excavating to be made and repaired In a sleight of hand manner, thus spoiling the pavement, giving it a rolling appearance, and in some places leaving holes. The city en gineer attempted to stop this practice by issuing a number of stringent rules concerning the patch work and he made these rules up in such a manner that the paving would be. in better condition than formerly after being patched. This was done by the effi cient engineer in order to discourage the habit of property owners in wait ing for the paving before they improve their property. However, the mayor and city attorney "called" Mr. Rogers, saying that he had no right to make such rules and the citizens over the city were aroused at once, declaring in emphatic terms that the paving should be protected, and the plan of Mr. Rogers was the only feasible man ner of making this protection.' How ever,, orders have been given for the patching of the ordinance and Mr. Rogers will be able to' Inflict his pen alties after. all. It is a great thing for the paving and the people over, the city are going to stand for it. The fire marshal and the city en gineer are. trying to decide on the place to connect the new fire escapes on the city hall. It seems that one of the main escapes is scheduled for the windows of the hay room of the fire department. This is about the only place in the building where a fire could possibly start. When the build ing was erected the necessary irons were placed down this side of the building. It is absolutely necessary that the escapes be installed at once and in a new place than originally In tended. A little colored boy came to the of fice of the city clerk this morning leading a big dog with a rope around Its neck. He demanded from the clerk the reward of fifty cents offered for stray dogs without a license. This Is another chapter to the long sad tale of homeless dogs. The boy was not in very good' humor when he told his story to the clerk. He said that he had three captured this morning but two of them got away from him. He was sent to the pound where the dog killer was notified and took charge. Under the present system used by the city in making "laws" which con form with the statutes there Is a hitch which should in time make a strong auxiliary to the commission form of government. In fact this hitch Is one of the strong points in favor of the commission form. This weakness is the socalled committee work in the council the delay caused by the same and the unsatisfactory results of the whole scheme. When a proposition comes up before the council it Is straightway referred to a committee of some kind or other and here It lays until the committee finds time to act. These committees are composed of men who have other paths in life to follow, and it is only after a great sacnnce rrom their business tnat they can attend the meetings. Sometimes they get enough men together to meet and sometimes they don't. When they do get together they scramble through the business for many reas ons Borne one has to attend lodge, another has to go home and still an other has a business engagement. This is the way a man finds time to give his time to city affairs when he is in an honorary office with "ornery" salary. Last fiscal year C. E. Jordan from the First ward was chairman of the streets and walks committee of the council. Every few days these men would drive out over the terri tories and a meeting was held between times. As a result Mr. Jordan found it necessary to desert his business and he says that the reaction is com ing on at this time. A council committee is a farce. It is a place where some matter is shift ed for want of time In the council chamber and Is shifted back again 7 OUR. LAUNDRY Which ought to Interest you. We have a special machine to smooth all collars on the front edge, thus pre venting the wearing out of your tie. We Iron all Cuffs attached to Shirts by STEAM PRESS and form ready for buttons. We HAND IRON all Ladies Gar ments, and box White Waists and Skirts to prevent mussing. If this appeals to you, have your Laundry Work done at The Mutual for. want of time In the committee room. Then it is sent to the council with a recommendation of some sort and passed finally for want of time again. This is the way Important matters have to be dealt with In the average city council of today. The councilmen are not paid to spend any amount of time with the city and they can't possibly do It. As a result there have been many city affairs left without a protector whatever. For instance, take the new salary ordinance passed not long ago. It was prepared In a hurry and passed in a hurry. No one had time to figure out the result and carry the news to the officials. The ordinance passed and a continual cry is being heard on all sides. The paving inspectors men whose wages were always $10 too low were cut, the carpenters and bricklayers were cut down with the cold blooded sickle and the officials with roller top desks and carpets on their floors were raised 'to the skies. The latter action was all right the officials -deserved the raise In salary but it was very poor policy to use the "under dog" as a source of "evening up." There is only one remedy for this whole state of affairs and that is the commission form of government. There is no possible course for an honorary councilman to follow and attend to city matters as they should be attended to.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 22, 1909. si Narrow Gauge Religion. The International Sunday-School Les son for May 23 la "The Council at Jerusalem." Acts 15: i:ao. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Prohahlv the meanest tyDe of Chris tlanlty ever I have run across in the world Is what I found at several points In the Orient, where mission aripjx rt fOTtnlTv American sects, avoid' Ing ,the difficulties of pioneer work among the heathen, nave pjameu themselves In the midst of the con verts -of older missions, and have un dertaken to proselyte them to their particular tenets concernln.gr immer sion, or holiness, or some peculiar sec tarian distinction. Environed by all the opportunities of the non-Christian world, and with their smallness re buked by the presence of a great need, they yet do not hesitate to wean away from another missionary the trait of many years of labor, all for the sake of some shibboleth. They call this foreign missions; instead it Js one of the worst forms of domestic sectarianism transplanted to a for eign shore. That Is about what the strict legal ists from Jerusalem Church tried to do In the Antioch mission field. It Is perhaps well that Luke does not men tion the names of these trouble-makers and separatists, who were blind to all the glorious leadings of God s eved only to the legalistic rites of the Mosaic law. The persistence of shibboleths in re ligious life is a curious phenomenon which may some day be scientifically studied. It was true of Judaism and of judaized Christianity. It Is true of Buddhism In all its branches, so that it It, nnrlr1 Trnm Tibet that tWO sects have arisen, one contending for the merits of prayer-wheels driven by water-power, and the other contend ing for prayer-wheels driven by wmd power. Tibet Is not so far distant In spirit as may be imagined from some centers of American Christendom. In Scotland the "Wee Frees," as the branch of the Free Church which re fused to enter the union have been called have steadily grown more and more intolerant, and with each year lay down an increasing number of de tailed rules for their adherents bur dens too heavy to be borne. The Religion of Roto and Rule. All shibboleths are opposed to the genius of Christianity. Intolerant de nominationalism, sectarianism and separatism are foreign to the mind of the Master. "Where the Spirit of the Lord Is there Is liberty." Where there is no liberty It may be questioned whether the Spirit of the Lord is to be found. The tendency to make Christianity a. thing of rote and rule is one which every generation has to face and fight. There is a certain type of small mind which wants its religion carefully labelled and formulated into definite rules for every department of con duct They would delight in the Ko ran, with all its innumerable regu lations of behavior under every cir cumstance. Some churches and preachers display a tendency to stress unduly certain forms of violation of their churchly codes as the most dreadful of sins. Similarly, they em phasize conformity to definite regu lations as the sum of righteousness. Now If the New Testament makes anything clear it is that the Gospel of Jesus is not a catalog of detailed practices, but a new spirit of life. Christ is not a barrier, but a door. He Is not a limitation, but a way. Who so follows Him closely cannot waHc man-made paths but finds him self led out Into newness of liberty and breadth of horizon, and largeness rt soul. A studv of the present-day Oriental Christian Chruch reveals a surprising number of Occidentalisms that have crept into our church life, and with which the Oriental Is inclined to dis pense. We put the converts from heatherdom under a serious handicap by trying to make them coniorm to our western order. Thus we have church steeples in China. Northern Presbyterians in South China where they have the haziest notions about the unfortunate division between North and South. In many such ways we have been inclined to per petuate the provincialisms of our wes tern churches in these alien lands. We fire of the school of Judalzing Chris tiana who feel that the Gentile believ er must conform to the whole lav of Moses. Champions of Liberty. There Is a milk-and-water type of Christianity which decries controver sy. Lacking spine and spirit, it would manifest itself only in supine affabil ity and in gelatinous submission to all opposition. That kind of religion Is not learned from the New Testa ment. There is no scriptural warrant for conceiving of Christians as sugar. The Bible bids them be salt, and salt bites and stings. The Founder of Christianity was a master controver sialist. His apostles followed in his train. That Is a false conception of liber ality which would surrender without contest the dearest convictions and heritages of life. We owe most of what we possess of liberty and toler ance and Intellectual life to the stout spirits who dared to do battle for the truth. Let us not now decry them. Paul and Barnabas met the narrow ing separatism of the Pharisaical sect of Jerusalem Christians with a flinty front. They cnamploned. freedom in Antioch itself, and then made the three hundred mile Journey to Jerusa lem to continue the debate in the Council of the apostles and elders. This first great heresy of the Infant Church was fought out In the presence of the whole Church, and the day was won for a broad-gauge conception of the Kingdom of Christ. Working by the Way. Fighting is always bad when It causes men to quit work. Christian controversy is good when it Inspires men to activity. The trouble with most differences of opinion in church circles Is that persons become so busy about disputation that they for- Run-Down?

The ex ample of the early Church Is worth studying here. Paul and Barnabas were fighting like good soldiers for what they believed to be the pure teaching of Jesus. Withal they kept to their first mission. From Antioch they were convoyed on their way by the church,-after the delightful Ori ental fashion, which so beautifully personifies fellowship; and as they went they continued preaching. We cannot imagine Paul and Bar nabas, like modern men with a griev ance; button-holing everybody they met with a story of their side of the quarrel. They had better news to tell. So they brought joy to all the breth ren along the way as they reported the conversion of the Gentiles and the triumphs of the Gospel. When they got into" the assembly at Jerusalem, the sparks did not be gin to fly. The first discussion was not of the' controverted points at issue. After the salutations of peace and the fraternal greetings, Paul and Barnabas "rehearsed all things that God had done with them." The story of the Gospel's triumphs is better worth telling than any factional plea or argument. We need have no fear for Christian debates if they are pre ceded by a common rejoicing over the proKress of the Kingdom. Let the Church get together on the broad platform of world evangelization, and it will not fall very far apart on any points of doctrine or policy. A Great Debate. He is a fortunate man who has heard a ereat ecclesiastical debate, conducted on a high plane by master minds. Several such I treasure as memories, but I would give them all to have heard an hour of that mighty disputation before the first council at Jerusalem.. What orators there were Paul and Barnabas and Peter and James. Luke charitably refrains from mentioning the names of the advocates of a narrow-gauge gospel Thev seem to have been utterly an nihilated in the discussion. After tljeir first presentation of their case we hear notmng rrom mem. The debate went all one way, proved by the teaching of experience and nroved bv the very Old Testa ment itself. The Jerusalem Church put itself squarely on record in favor of a world-embracing Gospel. The narrowness of Judaism was given rienth blow, so far as the Christian Church was concerned. It was not many decades before the Judalzing tendencv had disappeared from the early Church, although something akin to it is ever and anon cropping out in these latter days. The First Encyclical. From the apostles and elders of the Jerusalem Church there went a let ter of greeting to Antioch and the other new Gentile centers of evange lization. Accompanying the written Word were a deputation of the Church's strongest men. In manly fashion the encyclical gave affection ate endorsement to Paul and Barna bas, that there might be no misun derstanding as to how the home church rated them. Then it declared against laying upon the Gentile con verts' backs the needless burden of Jewish rites. It merely stipulated that In some matters of practical conaiuct tne new converts walk care fully. Some concession was made to the Jewish sentiment with resDect to the eating of meat that had been strangled, or from which the blood had not been drained. It was a cath olic letter, and worthy of' the build ers of the Christian Empire. Its spirit, happily, is reflected todav In the utterances of most of the great leaders of Christendom. There is vis iting on this continent at the moment a distinguished English churchman who has suffered serious opposition for the very same breadth of view with respect to his fellow believers that characterized Paul and Barna bas. Christendom should remember An tioch's connection with these events. Then the city was the center of the new evangelization. Today its streets are soaaen with the blood of hun areas of Armenian Christians who nave been lately massacred by the fanatical Moslems. Their inheritance of Christianity may be regarded as imperfect, and their own conduct may not have been wholly justifable, but still these multitudes slaughtered at Antioch bear the name of the Christ of Paul and of all of us, and the needs of the survivors should rest heavily upon the hearts of Christen dom. No sectarian shibboleth should stand between the Churches of the West' and the fearful need of those Armenian brethren in the very cities where Gentile Christendom had its first stronghold. Through Nature to God.. Terse Comments upon the Christian Endeavor Topic for May 23, "Les sons From the Birds and Flowers." Luke 12: 24-28. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Modern teachers are equipped with a multitude of books, and they send ineir students to the libraries. But ine Crreat Teacher, who has stimula ted more thought and study than any other, was content to find most of his lessons in the everyday life about him. He bound up common things with profound spiritual messages. The birds of the air and the grass of me iieia were Bis Interpreters of a profound Dhilosonhv at life. With this example, we may not despise as puerue ana snauow the nature study In which so much delight and in struction is to be found. wondrous truths, and manifold as wondrous, God has written in the heavens above; But no less in the .fjowerets beneath us. Runs the record of His Love. Longfellow. God gave man this world to- enjoy. He means to share his own pleasure in it with His children. So he has made it exhaustless in Its beauty and variety and interest. Whoever does not find delight in the fields and flowers and birds and skies has missed one of the first and beat de lights of existence. That Is an' in verted and unnatural mode of life which seeks recreation In ntcturea and books and parlor fames and public entertainments, and ie-nnres the simple joys which God has pro vided in His great out of doors. There are persons who will spend five dol lars, and stay up half the night, in order to hear an opera who will not get up an hour or two earlier in the morning, or spend ten cents car fare. in order to hear the carollinsr of nature's feathered chorus amid the glorious scenery of an awakening day. Such persons, though, would not be voted wise by any jury. Our times are stressing the beauty and. happiness of life out of doors, where God seems nearer and more beautiful man anywhere else. Dear Lord, since thou didst make the earth. Thou mad'st it not for grief, but mirth. Therefore I will be glad. And let. who will be sad. For if. I lead my life with care. What profit me the buxom air, And what the sweet birds' choir Or heaven's azure fire? Lord, as 'tis thine eternal state With joy und'immed to contemplate The world that thou hast wrought as mirror ror thy thought. So every morning I would rise. And offer thee for sacrifice A spirit bright and clear As the wide atmosphere. For, Lord, since all is well with. thee. It cannot well be ill with me. Anon. "Consider the lilies." exhorted Christ. Emphasize the first word. Do not merely view with a passing glance, but consider carefully the deeper meanings of nature's mani testations. Jesus tried diligently, to open the eyes of his friends to the significance of what they saw. There is no training for helpfulness, and no pleasure greater than the power of observation. To the person with seeing eyes all the passing show of life, and all the theater of nature's operations, becomes an exhaustless source of entertainment. To dig in the dirt preferably dirt to which one holds title with one's own hands, to plant one's own gar den, is a pleasure sucn as tne De- goggled and madly-speeding automo. bilist cannot understand or equal. Flower in the crannied wall I pluck you out of the crannies; I hold you here, root and all, in my hand. Little flower, but if I could under- stand. What you are, root and all in all, I should know what God and man is Tennyson. Nature's lessons are all simple but Drofound. The greatest truths are the clearest. If we dwell more upon the essential principles of life, ap plying them at every point to char acter and conduct, we snouia nave less need for speculation concerning truth's minor ramifications. "Silently, one by one, In the Infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." Longfellow. Thou who hast set thy dwelling fair With flowers beneath, above wltn starry lights, And set thy altars everywhere On mountain heights, In woodland valleys dim with many a dream. In valleys bright with springs,! And In the curving capes of every stream. Thou who hast taken to Thyself the wings Of morning, to abide Upon the secret places of the sea. And on far islands, where the tide Visits the beauty of untrodden shores. Waiting for worshippers to come to Thee In Thy great out-of-doors! To Thee I turn, to Thee I make my prayer, God of the Open Air! Henry Van Dyke. Every carolling bird sings, f'God cares." Every flower tnat trusts itseu to soil and sun and rain repeats, "God cares." The forest oak and the hid den violet, the circling eagle or the sequestered wren, all unite In at testing the sufficient providence of nature, whose other name is God. It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining daffodils; In every dimpled drop I see Wild flowers on the hills. The clouds of gray engulf the day, And overwhelm the town; It Isn't raining rain to me It's raining roses down. It Isn't raining rain to me, But fields of clover bloom, Where every buccaneering bee May find a bed and room. A health unto the happy! A fig for him who frets; It isn't raining to me It's raining violets. Robert Loverman. SEVEX SENTENCE SERMONS. The blessedness of life depends more upon its interests than upon its com forts.

Dr. Robert Kent, Congi-egationalist, Brooklyn. POWER OF RESURRECTION. Whenever a human soul goes to seek a crucified Jesus and finds in stead a risen Saviour the event of Easter day is repeated and the Joy of the angelic message is shared once again. The real power of the resur rection lies in the spiritual experience, not In the historical fact. Rev. Percy Trafford Olton, Episcopalian, Greene, N. Y. LIFE'S TRUE MASTER AND GUIDE Love the true master and guide of life.' and it is but a reflection of the Infinite and eternal love, whose su- premest manifestation was on Cal vary in the cross of the Man of Sor rows.

Happiness is not found where the world has always thought it was, in material things, In the alteration or the mitigation of earthly conditions, but In heavenly dispositions. It is the poor in spirit, the meek, the pure hearted, the earnest seeker after righteousness or the patient sufferer for it wHo are the truly happy. Rev. Colin Campbell Walker, Episcopalian, Brooklyn. RELIGIOUS CHARITY. Religious sentiment is very beauti ful, but religious sense is much more valuable and religious charity better yet. It is folly to talk of the negli gence and improvidence ol tne poor while they feel the pangs of want. Any man is more ready to listen to good sense when he has had enough to eat. Feed them first, then talk if you must. Rev. John B. Clayton, Baptist, Washington. What man wants is not the treat ment of the lost coin that puts him into circulation in the economy of the world, not the treatment of the lost sheep that folds him in the high er human sympathies, but the treat ment of the lost son that brings him back to the open arms of God, to the sonship of the Maker and an heir, a joint heir, with Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Gardner S. Eldridge, Methodist, Brooklyn. YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER. Society is like the planetary system. which is composed of greater and lesser bodies held together by recip rocal forces. But perhaps you will say: "Why should I concern myself about other people's affairs I have my own business to attend to. Am my brothers keeper? These were the words of Cain, the first murderer. I say you are. You ought to be your brother's keeper. You cannot, in deed, like the Saviour of the world. give sight to the blind, or hearing to the deaf, or speech to the dumb, or strength to the paralyzed limb. But you can work miracles of grace and mercy by relieving the distress of your suffering brethren. And never do you approach nearer to God than when you alleviate the sorrows of others. Cardinal Gibbons, Roman Catholic, Baltimore. KING OF ALL THOUGHTS. We need some mighty thought to go down deep into the subsoil of our spirit and release the imprisoned powers of our being. The multitude of ordinary thoughts only scrape the surface, and the yield is scant. The greatest thought ever presented to the mind of man is the thought of the Father above working through sacri fice the redemption of human spirits. This thought comes seeking entrance to the human mind. Behold, I stand at the door and knock," it says. It is the king of all thoughts, yet it comes as quietly as a peasant might come. Once granted admittance to the mind, the true kingliness of it appears, and all other thoughts de clare themselves Its subjects. The new thoughts and energies make them selves felt. Such a man reaches out a restful, kindly hand to the world, and when an explanation Is sought for the beneficent influence of his life men cast up the accounts and- say. Because an excellent spirit was in him." Rev. A. Macdonald Reoch, Congregationalism New York. BIBLE GLASS COMMENCEMENT Review of the Work Accomplished by Mrs. C. F. Mennlnger. An event of more than passing in terest took place at the First Presby terian church in our city last Wednesday evening, in the com mencement exercises of Mrs. Men ninger's Bible class. As a member of that class I have been asked to write something regarding Its four years work. Surely there is something new un der the sun, when eighty-five women ranging in age from eighteen to seventy-six. have a commencement, and with all the accompaniment of music, white gowns and a ringing commencement address, receive their riDDon-ued diplomas for having com pleted a course In Bible study. .What does it mean? It means that they have spent a week-day morning or af ternoon every week of the school year for four years in a Bible class. And the majority of these women, are neither school girls nor grandmothers but busy housekeepers and mothers, busy in their homes, in their chu.ches and in their clubs. And what have these women gained First, a knowledge of "The Book." They have thoroughly read, analyzed, tabulated, mapped, diagramed, and reduced to question and answer, the wnoie Bible from Genesis to Revela tion. One year was spent on Old Tes tament history, one on the prophesies one on the life of Christ, and one on the Acts of. the Apostles, their letters and Revelation. Through the. mag netic personality of their gifted teacher, the whole story from cover to cover has become living -breathing iact glowing with life and reality. Surely it is worth four years of ef fort, to have a sane and connected knowledge of the Bible when so much of Bible study and teaching is such scrappy, disconnected work, jumping back and forth from Old Testament to New,- a few verses here and a few verses there, until nine-tenths of the Sunday school scholars today are not real certain whether Paul is in the Old Testament or Moses in the New. But we have learned something else beside just the Bible story. There is no better, university extension course extant than a systematic study of the Bible. "Without a doubt every woman who has completed the course is broader intellectually In many ways for it. She has extended her knowl edge of history and biography. She has studied the finest literature the world possesses. She has explored the fountain-head whence has come the masterpiece In art and music, and has become familiar with the source from which is derived all the theories of world. And we have gained something more than Intellectual growth. Hun gry souls have been fed, sorrowing hearts have been comforted, and the downcast and disheartened have found help. There is a1 spiritual power gained from this coming together once a week for Bible study, this religious ly putting aside everything that hin ders or detracts and this one thing doing. -The women are few who do not go from that quiet hour stronger, and with a better grip on themselves, better equipped for every outside duty that awaits them.

FULL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The State Journal ts a member of the Assoelnted Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. As has been the case for many years back, the weather this spring Is just a trifle unusual. China may be pardoned for jump ing Into the "universal peace" move ment with both feet. She never did Have much luck in war. The Boston Herald thinks the trip to Africa will be a failure if one at least of the snakes that can swallow a rhinoceros doesn't show up. Mr. Wheat Bull Patten predicts that the price of wheat will remain high all over the world for a year or more to come. Here's hoping that he is a false prophet. A North Carolina preacher has proved to his own satisfaction, at least, that the earth is not round but flat like a hat on a fence post. It is to be hoped that he is now happy. Rudolph Spreckels, the California millionaire, gave J 38,478 to aid the San Francisco graft prosecutions. If any money was ever well spent this cum was. It may be likened to the highest degree of philanthropy. There Is little wonder that the stage has such alluring attractions of fame and fortune if there is any truth to the report that Anna Held, who is soon to retire from it, has ac cumulated $1,000,000 by her singing and acting. Here's a valuable tip for the mod ern man from the Ladies' Field: "Before the woman is won she Jias to be wooed, and to woo her on the tele phone or the typewriter, as modern man apparently tries to do, is to court, disaster."'" Admiral Dewey says the American navy is the peei of any In ships, of ficers and men. Akdthe people of the" country with the possible excep tion of a few marine artists and other naval "experts" bf that character, be lieve this characterization to be the exact truth. Harper's Weekly recently' nom lnated Woodrow Wilson, president of A 'MV1 1J 1. ...1.1 V.l 1 1. 111 V) cratic oandldate for governor of New Jersey In 1910 and as the Democratic '-presidential candidate in 1918. It has also provided him with a national platform promising a real tariff re vision downward. Senator Clay, of Georgia, hit the nail squarely on the head the other day when he stated that time was be ing wasted by any further considera tion of the details of the tariff bill by the members of the senate, inasmuch as Mr.- Aldrich and his friends haye the votes to shape up this legislation exactly as they please. Most serious attention should be given by the members of the city council to the recommendations made by the fire chief for Increasing the efficiency of the fire department by adding more men and equipment to It. Topeka is behind many other cities of her size in the strength of her fire department as to the number of fire men employed and the amount of equipment available for their use. An excellent action was that 'of a Chicago judge who fined a Chicagoan $150 for giving false information to a newspaper man. Few persons- out side of the newspaper business realize the extent to which some people go in purveying to newspaper 'reporters information that they know to be false. And in this class generally are the individuals who insist with blatant mouths that everything the newspapers print should be taken at a discount. It la remarked by the' Chicago-Rec ord-Herald, that "it will be useless to expect summer to arrive before hall stones as big as goose eggs have shat tered things in Kansas." This shows that the Record-Herald is not in touch wRh modern Kansas. It would take hailstones much larger than goose eggs to shatter things in this 'state. They would have to be the size of thirteen inch, shells and loaded with dynamite to make even a tem porary impression. Colonel George Harvey, in the cur rent Issue of Harper's Weekly, doesn't see anything strange or un usual in the conflicting positions in iwhich Mr." Roosevelt has placed him eelf on the subject of Japanese im migration: In one of his presidential messages, Mr. Roosevelt took a stand ia. favor of liberal Immigration laws as applied to the Japanese and also insisted that they should have the right of nautralizing In this country. In a more recent editorial in the Out look. Mr. Roosevelt came out strongly in favor of more stringent Immigra tion laws as applied to Asiatics, the Japanese included. Colonel Harvey points out that It Is the prerogative of, an editor. and almost his duty, to criticize public men and ,the positions they take on all questions whenever It is necessary and so It is all right for Editor Roosevelt to take former President Roosevelt to task. A SATURDAY SERMON. But avoid foolish questions, and gene alogies and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.- Jitus iil :9. These words form a small portion of the advice given by the great apostle, Paul, to Titus, who was ordained' the first bishop of the church of the Cre- tians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia. And this advice is Just -as good' for each and every person of today as it was for Titus In those years so long ago. If there Is one thing that people who are desirous of living In peace and con tentment should avoid It is contentions of all sorts, Including bickerings and strivings about the law. It is seldom that anything comes of them except continued discontent and that Is neith er good for man nor beast. Most of them are unnessary and serve abso lutely no purpose. Any individual can prove this for himself by reflecting on his own experiences. If he is honest he will admit to himself, at least, that many of the contentions he has en gaged In with acquaintances and friends, and with relatives, too, even the more serious ones, could have been averted, and that without much effort. The inevitable result would have been that he would be on better terms with them than he is today, and a peace of mind that he knows not of would pre vail with him. Contentions are the easiest things in the world to get into and they are just as easily avoided If there is any dis position so to do. There are many per sons that go through life who are prac tically strangers to them. They ac complish these most desirable ends by being charitable in their Judgment of others,' by being Justly tolerant of the rights of other to their ideas and opin ions,, by treating their associates in exactly the same way that they would like to be treated themselves, with a justice and fairness in all things. If the ways of these folks were only emulated by everyone, and particularly the chronic contenders, those persons who are always looking for" an argu ment or a dispute on any and every proposition, what a much better place this world would be to live in. Of course, it is well nigh impossible to believe or to hope that the people of the earth are ever going to reach a plane where there will be no' such things as contentions among them. Once in a while they are almost as necessary as they are always distress ing, but the greater portion of them can be avoided with a minimum of care and effort, and this is an end that everybody will find to be worth striv ing for. A HOBX1ESS CAPE.', The resurrection of the Commercial club is one of the business marvels of Topeka, and yet there are those, a few, now and then one, who are Wt terly complaining of the noonday life on the top floor of the Commerce building. They say it Is hurting the restaurant business, and that the restaurant keepers are entitled to a living; that the Commercial club has no business to be in business. About the only opposition the Topeka Commercial club finds in ,its work for the progress and prosperity of Topeka lies in what is said restaurant keepers say and what several of their alleged friends do say. The fact of the matter is that most' of these complaints seem to come from the overstrained im aginative faculties of the pretended friends of the caterers; said friends, not even always being patrons of the downtown dining rooms. The cafe may be said to be the most essential factor in the work of the new Commercial' club. It is the one feature which will bring the business men to gether every day. Abandon the cafe, and you abandon three-fourths of the work that the Commercial club can do. An average of 100 business people gath er together every midday to lunch and talk. They must eat, and being togeth er, they naturally talk and act for the welfare of Topeka, Including the rest aurant keepers. If the restaurant feature of the club should be abandoned,' the rooms dur ing the day would be as quiet and life less as a "painted ship on a painted ocean." The work which the members of the Commercial club are doing every noon is going to bring more enter prises to the city and more people, and every additional man. woman and child who comes, will have to eat at the restaurants or some other place. They can not bring their food here, they must buy it here. They cannot all eat at the Commer cial club rooms, and they cannot all get along on one meal a day, which is all that is served at the cafe in the Commerce building. The Commercial club restaurant is not going to hurt the restaurants, because its work is to help Topeka, and what helps Topeka, will help every business; the eating business more than any other. Many of those who eat at noon at the Commercial club haye not -been eating down town at all. If the Commercial club accom plishes one-tenth of what it Intends to accomplish in three months, there will .not be enough restaurants in To peka to take care of the- increased business, the present restaurants will have to enlarge, and there will have to be more of them. N There was a wild rumor brought to the ears of this writer yesterday that there are twenty-three Topeka grocers banded together with a firm grip and the wild-eyed pass word: "We will not buy another dollar's worth of goods In Topeka as long as the Commercial club cafe does business." JU1 we have to say to those "faithful twenty three" is to "skidoo." The business ths Commercial club Is going to do with the business men's feet under the noonday luncheon table and their elbows on the same cloth, and gath ered in knots in easy chairs in the big lounging-room, and In the committee rooms, is going to make: business for more than twenty-three more grocers, but they will have to be live gTocers and they will have to thrive with a live Commercial jclub instead of over the wake of a dead one. The main business of the Commer cial club cafe Is to bring more peo ple to Topeka to eat. If there la any disgruntled restaurant man In the city it would be a good thing for him to put himself In the position -of that other restaurant man, of whom the waiter said, upon inquiry from a call-, er as to his whereabouts about noon: "Ha has gone out to lunch," A HOTEI, DE LUXE. Topeka, needs now, of all things a hotel that is worth' while that ia worth half a million. We hav good, hotels, well patron ized, but we need and want one bet ter than all the fest one which will stand for Topeka as the Robidoux stands for St. Joseph, the Baltimore for Kansas City, the Connor fof Jop- lin, the Oliver for South Bend, the New Lee for Oklahoma City. A hotel man came into this office a few days ago stealthily, closing the door softly behind him and looking about him as if the walls had ears, said: "For Heaven's sake stop talking about a new big hotel for Topeka. It would ruin us." Now that man Is a good man and a good citizen and a good hotel keeper but he seems to want Topeka to stay right where it is. He is nearsighted as a citizen and personally; otherwise he would realize that a fine large new hotel would bring more people here, would make those people stay longer, would secure a perpetual good word from traveling men and would make Topeka a great convention city. Everybody could not and would not stop at the big hotel. The con ventions and the business brought here by a great hotel would fill the others, and keep them full. There is no reason why Topeka should not have at least two hundred conventions a year. That ia four a week. Oklahoma City had that many last year. We have Oklahoma City "skinned a mile," as the boys say. if we only knew it and would only furnish hotel accommodations and do a few other things in our power. x A great many people may be appalled when we talk of a $500,000 hotel for Topeka.' But when they have this feeling they are simply behind the "times. They do not realize that cities Of our size and smaller have such hotels and that they pay the towns to have them. The Robidoux hotel In St. Joe which cost $633,000, and which was built over the protests of knockers who said it would not pay, Is paying all that it was estimated it would pay and Is arranging for an addition. to provide 130 more room?. The city of Hutchinson, much smaller than this one, has what Is said to be the best hotel in the state and is now building a new five story hotel. To peka has an ideal site for a hotel, but preparations are under way to use it for a two or three story business house. We have the money and enterprise here to build a hotel worthy of the city, but both are diverted to the ex tent of many millions of dollars, and energy to outside enterprises too far away to watch, many of which promise fortunes, but do not earn 5 per cent. Will we some day wake up to the fact that we must ourselves show the confidence and invest the capital that will bring the confidence and. capital of others to our help and happiness. JOURNAL ENTRIES Were it not for the turns In the road the path of life would be a dreary one to follow. Many individuals waste a lot of val cable time in waiting for their "luck" to chanse. If some men were as bad as they

have the reputation of being, they would be worse than beasts. Every man is willing at one or more times in his life to give up a valuable ring for a lock of hair. Time may be money but if many persona had as much of the latter to spare as they have of the former they'd be better satisfied.

Ex-Governor Folk of Missouri says: "It is better that we should have a thousand towns than one large city. If a place is good enough for a man to make his money in, It is good enough for him to spend it in. The merchants have a Just right to all the business of the town in which they have their stores, and every Cit izen should help them get it." Governor Folk is wrong about one proposition. In business no man has a "right" to trade. He must prove that he is worthy of business before it will come to him. Business is a battle. The ability to make good, to fill a need in the community, is what con stitutes the only "right" to trade. If the retail merchant in the small town cannot make good, he will have to succumb to the big mail order house and the department store com petition or the large towns. Jtsut tne retailer In the small town can make good. There is a need for mm. It only reauires a proper use of the weapons which are ready at nis nana. While the retailer In the small town is laboring under some handi caps in competition with the "cata log house, he is also possessed oi advantages which far offset the dis advantages. The merchant in the small town is, or ought to be,- in close touch with his trade. He should pre pare himself to meet, on a cash basis, the prices of the mail order house. He should not be afraid to quote prices and ask his trade to compare quality and compare prices. He should stand back of his goods. And the merchant in the small town can do none of these things without advertising. If the small town retailer adver tises In the local papers energetically, wisely and persistently, he can beat the mail order game every time. It has been done so often that it needs no further demonstration. The mail order house may have an advantage over the local merchant in the assort ment of goods, but the local mer chant has such tremenduous power by wisely advertising his business in the local press that the mail order house is really one which is work ing under the greatest natural handi cap after all.

If Senator Dolliver expressed the opinion of only a western state or two in, his protest against the cotton and wool schedule or tne senate tarirt ne would represent a Republican opposi tion calling for serious consideration. But Senator Dolliver voices a wide spread objection. It is only ln the West that many Republicans have a desire to see rates horizontally ad vanced by new classification, whose effect IS not clear and whose result cannot be known, but which are cer tain to advance rates. A revision up wards is not wanted or desired by public opinion. The rates which were high enough 12 years ago in the Ding ley tariff are certainly high enough now, after 12 years' growth in our manufactures. Changes made should be chiefly downward, and broad change is wise if conservative ln character ana sui- ficlent protection is retained to meet the difference between labor here and abroad and furnish American manu facturers a fair rjrofit. When the senate tariff wiped out the reduction in the duty on carpet wools, in the Payne tariff the restor ation of the old and heavy duty on this raw material worked directly against the carpet industry of Phila delphia. This city needs lower du ties on wool, free iron ore, free hides and free lumber. Philadelphia is Pro tection to the core, but it is for the Protection that widens markets ana increases the demand for labor and not for an advance in duties, which narrows both. Phllaaeipnia tress.

Among quarrelsome fellows it's only a step from tiff to biff. Many a fellow who has failed at everything else succeeds in marrying well. Mormonism teaches us that no man is so much married that he couldn't be more so. Love laughs at locksmiths, but falls to remember that he laughs best who laughs last. Some men would be willing to pay long distance telephone rates to tell their troubles. Wlarg "I believe in paying as I go." Wagg "Yes, I notice you don't go very much. Hoax "Why on earth did he marry her?" Joax "I suppose because there is no marrying in heaven." It sometimes happens that a letter is opened by mistake, also a man who is operated on for appendicitis. Many a bride would go home to Mamma if it wasn't for all the pret ty things she has her house fur nished with. He "So you don't believe in long engagements, eh?" She "No. I've never been engaged to a man whose money lasted very" long." Nell "She's a very strong swim mer I wonder if she ever saved any body's life." Belle "Well, Chollie Saphedde said he couldn't live with out her. and she has promised to marry him." REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.

She looked up from the basin of soapsuds on the dining room table. She was washing her great-grandmother's Beleek a task which she waa averse to intrusting to hands less careful than her own. Inwardly she was meditating r, the reprimand she would bestow upon Janet for permit ting this particular visitor to enter unannounced. "You don't appear overwhelmingly glad to see me!" returned Aubrey Bowden. She sent him a swift glance one of obvious annoyance. H was stand ing ln the doorway, tall, athletic. Ia his leather coat, corduroy knicker bockers and high, rubber boots she was forced to admit that he mad a gallant figure. But she dropped her eyes and went on with her task. Not so Aubrey Bowden. He kept his gaze fastened upon her gaze at once whimsical and adoring.. Cer tainly she looked extremely pretty, her blue morning gown enveloped in a blue apron, her sleeves rolled up over her bewitching dimples in the elbows, a flicker of angry color show ing through the fairness of her cheek. Bowden made a fresh conversation al plunge. "I'm going down to the Kankakee marsnes, snooting," he said. "There are a lot of the follows going my vuusiu, Aimrtw, ana some more, Reeda," quizzically, as she still evinced no sign of interest, "aren't you go ing to wish me good sport?

You may see her as often as you desire after this!" said Reeda, signi ficantly. There was no smile in the young fellow's handsome eyes now. Reeda," he said, quietly, "look at me!" He was beside her. She felt her self forced to obey that grave com mand. She lifted to his face her gray, black-fringed eyes, filled with a sullenness foreign to them. Say you don't mean to break with me for a trifle," he pleaded. "Why, I love you, Reeda, You know that." "I have nothing to reconsider." She never knew afterward how she man aged to enunciate the cruel words. "I want you to go away and never come to see me again." For one breathless moment they stood looking into each other's eyes. And there was that in his face that dumbly reproached her. Before she could bring herself to make retrac tion he was striding to the door. "Good-by, dear," ho said broken ly. "I I hope The sentence trailed off into si lence and he was gone. The; girl stood staring at the closed door. It looked like the door of fate itself shut fast in her face. She saw it through a gush of belated, futile tears. The day wore on a dull, wretched, aimless day. She could settle to noth ing. Every object brought some memory connected with the man she had sent out of her life. When she dressed for the evening Bhe found herself selecting the gown he best liked and realized with a wretched pang that he would no more murmur praise of it or of her. She hated the pretty rosy silk, with its ecru silken laces and coquettish little black velvet bows. So forlorn she felt, so lonely, so bereft, it was with slight surprise that on picking up the evening paper she scanned a tragic headline. But as the full significance of what that ghastly line of type indicated became plain to her, she gave a cry a faint, weak, desperate cry. And her moth er, rushing to her, found her, face downward, on the floor, the paper clutched tightly in her hand. To bring her back to consciousness was the first thing to do to find out what had shocked her, the second. And the paragraph in the paper, telling of the accidental discharge of a gun among a party of hunters bound for the Kankakee marshes re vealed the latter. For the name of the man fatally wounded was given as that of Aubrey Bowden! The physician, bending over the girl as the fits of unconsciousness succeeded one another, shook his head gravely. "I am' very much afraid he began.- A queer, glad cry from Reeda start led them. She was sitting straight up, her arms extended. The man at the threshold sprang forward caught her in his arms. "It was Andrew poor Andrew!" he explained. "The reporter got the names mixed. Tve a flesh wound from the explosion, nothing more. I hurried here. I feared you might learn of the accident: And, Reeda. darling, did you care then, so much?" The terrible tension over, she gave way, sobbing convulsively. The doc tor beckoned to her mother. They left the room. "There is nothing more for me to do. thank God," the old man said. Reeda put her arms around her lover's neck and clasped her hands tightly and held him as though she would never let him go. "Forgive me,", she entreated. "I was sorry while I was speaking I was sorry when you went. All day long I knew that if you never came back I should want to die. Then when I saw the paper I thought that I was being punished and that. Indeed, you never would come back. Dearest forgive me!" He kissed her and comforted her.

Anne Warner's latest book "In a Mysterious Way," just published by Little, Brown Co.. has the delight ful women characters which Mrs. Warner always supplies for her stor ies, and an unusual love plot. An Interesting feature of the book lies In the discussions regarding the preservation of a beautiful tract of woodland and a series of falls, which the state is endeavoring to utilize for water power. Glen Iris, which con tains a celebrated gorge and the three falls of the Genesee, was given to the State of New York by Mr. Litch worth with the express purpose of preserving it In its natural beauty for nature lovers. The state immediately proposed to sell the water power, thus totally defeating Mr. Litchworth's in tent. A fight is still on in the legis lature as to whether this shall be permitted. Mrs. Warner recently spent a month In Portage, New York, and became much interested In the matter. The arguments pro and con are both utilized in "In a Mysterious Way," but It la easy to discern that Mrs. Warner's sympathies are wholly with the donor of this property, whose kindness is so abused. Mark Twain confesses In his latest, "Is Shakespeare Dead?" that he was once very much Interested In Satan. He afgued the whole proposition pretty ably with the Sunday school teacher, and finally suggested that little Samuel Clemen9 should write Satan's biography. The idea and the scenario that accompanied it were a great shock to that young Sunday school teacher. He told the sportive questioner that no one who ventured to mock at the real biographers of Satan could ever hope to enter af terward any respectable house. "How true," says Mark Twain, "were his words, and how wise! How fortunate it would have been for me if I had heeded them! But I was young, I was but seven years of age, and vain, foolish, and anxious to attract at tention. I wrote the biography, and have never been in a respectable house since." Rose O'Neill Wilson, author of "The Loves of Edwy" and other novels, and even better known as an illustrator, has chosen for the title of her forth coming Harper novel the arrest ing phrase, "The Lady in the White Veil." A once fashionable New York Square and an empty family mansion thereon will be the principal scene of action, and will open the first chap ter, as well as afford a kind of un conscious rendezvous for all the characters in their most excited mo ments Mystery of plot and a baffling heroine are said to invest "The Lady In the White Veil" with a quality that Is really unique.

The unusual success of this author's prev ious books, notably "Truth Dexter" and "The Breath of the Gods," is an earnest of what may be expected of her latest work. "Red Horse Hill" is an American novel of intense in terest, worked out around a situation unusual and dramatic. It depicts the events of four related lives and the conflicts of their various interests. The author has written of true peo ple, who are happy or sad, who en Joy or who suffer in an intensely hu man way. and who are made or brok en by the events of their lives, as are people of real life. Her back-ground, a Southern mill town, is perfect, with the detail painted from long and in timate knowledge. The pathos, the power and the realism in the book raise it to a high level of literary achievement, and no reader will be able to dismiss it without deep thought concerning its appeal to the highest and best things of life, and a keener realization of the power of a great love. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell is one of the most interesting men of our time. His own record of his "Experiences on the Labrador," which will be pub lished in the June Century, must have a vivid and unique interest. "The object of the Labrador Mission is to help men to live, and not to die; and so to live as not merely to cumber this earth for a few more years, but to live as worthier sons of that great Father whose face we all expect one day to see, is thi3 hero's own char acterization of the ideal of his life's work. Davenport, Iowa, is the home city of Miss Susan Glaspell, the author of "The Glory of the Conquered," which Stokes recently published. She was graduated from Drake University, in Des Moines. The day after com mencement she went on the staff of a Des Moines newspaper as a poli tical reporter. About the state house she found rich material for her first stories, which were published in sev eral magazines, among them Harp er's and The American Magazine. Later she went to Chicago, and took graduate work at the University of Chicago, which furnishes such a good setting for much of her book. It was after this period that she wrote "The Glory of the Conquered." A very curious coincidence occurred while she was revising the manu script. She had actually started on a chapter in which one of the charac ters becomes ill with appendicitis, when she herself had a sudden and severe attack of the same ailment; and she finished the chapter during her convalescence.

He Takes a Lost Boy to His Fatherly Bosom. When Mr. Bowser reached home from the office the other evening Mrs. Bowser had a bit of news for him. Her church was going to give an en tertainment, and she was one of the committee that would meet that even ing. "TTell, I think I can manage some how to take care of the house while you are gone," he replied, and there was no further discussion about it. At 8 o'clock she went her way, leav ing him smoking his cigar on the front steps. "She had been gone about ten minutes when a boy, about six years old, came crying along the street and stopped at the Bowser gate and wailed out that he was lost. "Lost, eh?" queried Mr. Bowser as he walked down the steps. "Can't you find your home, sonny?" "N-no." "Well, come in and sit down on the steps a minute.

There was mough to make a meal for a hearty man, and the lost boy got outside of the viands in ten minutes and then looked around for more. When he had topped off with three' large slices of bread and but ter he was asked: "Now, then, your name Is what?" "Billy." "Billy what?" "Billy B healthful food wis la He brought -ut his last name so plump that Mr. Bowser was startled for a moment.

"But you must, you know. Think of the anxiety of your father and moth er. They don't know but what you've been kidnapped. Are you ready?" "I won't go!" "What! What!" The young cub slipped out of his chair and threw a fit on the floor, and went into such contortions that Mr. Bowser was scared half to death for the next ten minutes. He got the camphor and bathed the boy's fore head vigorously, and his hands were chaffed and his old shoes pulled off, and it seemed that a doctor must be sent for when little Billy at last open ed his eyes. "Thank heaven for this!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he fetched a great sigh of relief. "Mrs. Bowser would have let you die and thrown your body over the fence, but I've got a heart instead of a stone, in my bosom. Do you have these fits often, Billy?" "Whenever I want to." "Um! I've heard of such things. Well, we'll go now." "I'll t'row anodder fit!" warned the boy. "Don't you want to go home "No; I want to stay here and play wid your bald head." Mr. Bowser gave a start of surprise and flushed up. He was beginning to feel that he had a Job on hand. He didn't insist upon. Billy's going home, but invited him up to the sitting room, and when they had reached it he said: "Mrs. Bowser would have bumped you out of the basement door, but I am doing my duty by you. Do "you go to school?" "Nit." "What does your father work at?" "He gits full." "And beats and starves his Ifam ily, of course? Billy, did you ever hear of the Bible?" "Oh, come off!" "And they are sending money to the heathen of Africa and China! I wish Mrs. Bowser was here, but she'd try to get out of it somehow. Right here In a Christian country and never heard of the Bible! Here what you doing?" "Playin' wid your bald head." -"But you mustn't do it." "But I will!" Mr. Bowser held him off, and the result was another fit. There was no camphor this time. The boy was lifted on to the lounge and no attention paid to him, and after five or six minutes he came to with a yell. The first yell was followed by a second, third and fourth, and he was wound up for a hundred when Mr. Bowser bribed him with a nickel to stop. When the ex change had been completed he was offered another nickel to go home. He considered the offer for awhile and then said: "It's wurt a quarter, boss." "Now, look here, young sir." re plied Mr. Bowser as his face reddened up, "it i3 evident that you take me for some old guy. I don't believe you are lost at all." Billy started for him with fists dou bled up, but changed his mind and turned and knocked a vose off a stand. It crashed to the floor and was brok s i lMI ''HOThih' teat r'R tao Davs That last was a poor' bluff on Mr. Bowser's part. The kid set up such a wolfish howling that a dime and a nickel had to be crowded into his hand before he would choke off. Then he offered to let his paternal host take him home if given a drink of milk first. Mr. Bowser clattered down to the refrigerator and brought up a full bottle, and Billy never stopped to draw a breath until the last drop was gone. Then he announced his readi ness to go, and taking Mr. Bowser's hand to prevent any escape they went down the street together. It was a straight course for five blocks, and Billy had Just pointed to the tenement in which he dwelt when a woman came rushing across the street and shouted at Mr. Bowser: "Kidnapper! Boy-stealer! I'll have you arrested!" "Hush, woman! Tour boy has been lost for two days, and I'm bringing him back to you." "It's a lie! He was here two hours ago. You infernal old rascal, but I'll I'll A crowd was beginning to gather and demanding to know, what was up, and Mr. Bowser fled. He had Just got home and taken a seat on .the steps when Mrs. Bowser came home and halted to ask: "Have you been lonely, dear?" "Well, yes, rather lonely," replied Mr. Bowser as he got up with a "made-in-Germany" yawn and follow ed her into the house. (Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.)

The June meeting of the city federation and the annual election will be held the day before, Thursday, June 3. at the Commercial club. Mrs. Goddard and Mrs. Brown will be in town for this meeting. There is no excitement about the election. A number of desirable can didates have been named for the dif ferent offices to the nominating com mittee, but nobody seems to be work ing u much of a lather about the result of the voting. Some mighty good material has been suggested and the' club women can't make a mistake no matter whom their choice may fall upon. Lots of the clubs would like to see Mrs. L. D. Monroe elected. Eeverybody recognizes her ability, her earnestness, her enthu siasm. She has the leisure, and she lives in a Big House, which will be handy for receptions and things. She has had lots of experience in club work, is up in the- technique, as it were, knows about parliamentary law and "sich," Is acquainted with all the big bugs in clubdom, the mis sion of clubs and all that. Besides, and more than all. she has a keen mind, the saving sense of humor and a young, glad heart. She will, if she has a turn at the executive office, keep the federation in the right track, actively interested in good works, and live issues.

I claim to be educated to the highest degree In all the modern and up-to-date methods of shoeing. I learned my trade with people who were really scientific. I have spent the greater part of my time since, then in study and research and am up to the minute in all matters pertaining to the correct shoeing of the horse. I understand the causes and effects of hoof ailments and by the proper treatment and the distinct knowledge of shoeing that particular hoof I can produce the best possible results. However, I am not a novice or young at the business and have the distinction of being the oldest established horseshoer in this city.' This is strictly a shoeshop. We keep constantly on hand a complete line of material for track horse shoes as wen as the common plugs; from the heaviest to the lightest also factory shoes. We respectfully solicit your general shoeing as well as the most difficult cases. We also wish to simply remind the public that the "hot air" man usually falls short of the mark.

16 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. KAY 22, 1909. EtBUSBS OOSffifG ATTRACTIONS. At the (irana. Tonight Mrs. Fiske. Tuesday and Wednesday "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." Thursday and Friday "The Blue Mouse." At the CNovelty. Moving pictures. At the Air Dome. Edwin Home Players. Mrs. Fiske. Mrs. Fiske will appear in "Salva ition Nell," the play which proved the sensation of the dramatic season in New York, at the Grand tonight. Al though her present role is entirely different from any in which her count less admirers have ever before seen her, Mrs. Fiske's Nell Sanders is one f y- ft f V j Mrs. Fiske In "Salvation Xell." of the most absorbing and appealing 'parts which she has ever created. The part of Nell Sanders is elemental, di rect, blunt; Mrs. Fiske plays it with a finesse and vividness that is breath catching. The metropolitan critics are unanimous in declaring that Mrs. Fiske has never done anything finer or more inspiring than her characteriza tion of her present role, and her Nell Sanders has taken a place alongside her memorable Tess and Becky Sharp ,as being creations far out of the ordinary. The Blue Mouse. In "The Blue Mouse," which at present is said to be making every body laugh in New York, Clyde Fitch, the author, who adapted the farce from a German version, has given the stage a new and improved chorus lady, who in spite of her roughness, is wholly irresistible. In Paulette Divine, a variety Salome dancer, who is called "The Blue Mouse," Mr. Fitch has created a type of character that will be talked of for years. "The Blue Mouse" has been "caged" by the Messrs. Shubert and will be exhibited here for the first time at the Grand next Thursday and Friday. The farce is one of those rollicking plays that makes one forget every care and laugh at the trying predica ments, of the actors. Apart from the plot and counter-plots there is said to be much pleasure in the admirable acting of the persons Mr. Fitch has personally selected for the company to be seen here. Miss Elsa Ryan, whose dainty personality is as well known as a household proverb, will be seen as "The Blue Mouse." For $2,000 per month "The Blue Mouse" consents to pose as the real wife of Augustus Rollett, secretary to the president of the Interstate rail road, who wants to be promoted to the post of division superintendent. The president, old Lewellyn. dearly loves pretty faces aVid for $2,000 "per" the Mouse proceeds to flirt with Iyewellyn and, by this means, wheedles from him the desired pro motion. This Is the basis of the plot, but before the first act is over Mrs. Xwellyn, the real Mrs. Rollett and her father, from out of town, and the lover of "The Blue Mouse" are drawn Into the trouble. ,Wlien- Johnny Comes Marching Home. One of the real enjoyable musical comedies of the season is scheduled for the Grand next Tuesday and Wed nesday nights, and it will be given by local talent. The production "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" will be sung by the combined forces of the Modocs and the Topeka Oratorio eociety. Mr. M. C.

The opera will be sung on two nights, Tuesday and Wednesday. The proceeds derived from the first night will be turned over to apply on the deficit of the pipe organ fund. The second evening's revenue will be given to the Modocs to pay their expenses when they go to Salt Lake City to sing at the national encampment of the G. A. R. Good careful rehearsal work is be ing done by all those who are inter ested in the presentation of this comedy. The participants are among Topeka's best singers, and the enter tainment will be one worthy of the patronage of all those who are inter ested in Topeka's musical growth. P. B.

The New York Herald says that the London friends of Mr. George Faw cett have been cabling him their con- and Frjilay. gratulations on his success In "The Great John Ganton." and on his iro- motion to stardom. Mr. Fawcett made a big hit when he appeared in the English metropolis in "The Squaw Man," and was by many of the critics acciaimea as me best American char acter actor who had ever appeared there. In- reply to Inquiries as to how much of the original text of "Peer Gynt has been eliminated in the acting ver sion. Wallace Munro, manager of Louis James, is authority for the statement that the acting version used by Mr. James, which was also that of Richard Mansfield, is about one-thlra of the original text.' Ibsen himself is authority for the statement that Peer Gynt was a real person, living at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and that Ase, his mother, was drawn, with necessary exaggerations, from Ibsen's mother. Albert Hart has been engaged for a comedy role in "The Dollar Pnn cess." It was announced In New York by the Messrs.

Mr. and Mrs. Moses C. Harvey of Wallula. Kan., announce the engage ment of their eldest daughter, Nancy Grace, and Mr. Clarence Richard Ryan of this city. The wedding will occur in the near future. The word "Engagement" at the head of an item of news always has a tendency to quicken the interest of the reader and when the names in the article, as in this Instance, are ex tremely well known, the reader is even more likely to "sit up and take notice." i While not living in Leavenworth proper. Miss Harvey is such a near resident that social and musical cir cles claim her as one of their own. She is a girl of strong personal mag netism and with an exceptional amount of good looks. She is an ac complished musician and an expert horsewoman. She has also had the advantage of several years of travel abroad. Indeed, Miss Harvey's many friends and acquaintances in the city will be very pleased to hear that she Is really to come here to live. Mr. Ryan is the only son of Mrs. Dacotah S. Ryan and was born and raised a Leavenworth boy. Besides being a great favorite socially and having a host of friends among both men and maids, he has demonstrated fully his ability in a business way. Mr. Ryan is also extremely fond of horses and is a splendid rider, a talent equal ly shared by his fiancee. Mrs. Dacotah S. Ryan announces the engagement of her youngest daughter, Anna Florence, and Captain Ernest DIchmann Peek, corps of en gineers. United States army. The wedding will occur on Saturday even ing, June 26, at half after 7 o'clock at the First Presbyterian church. It is not often that a girl can keep her engagement a secret even for a short time, but Miss Ryan, while not entirely successful in her effort, at least will give a large number of her friends a grand surprise in this an nouncement. Miss Ryan and Captain Peek first met at Yellowstone Park last summer when the former was on a pleasure tour with Captain and Mrs. Clarence Sherrlll. Seemingly it was a case of "love at first sight" and when Captain Peek was ordered to Fort Leaven worth last fall, the acquaintance was Immediately renewed. Miss Ryan is a most attractive girl. Attractive in appearance, in manner and in personal charm. Tall and slen der, with beautiful blond hair, big blue-gray eyes and fair complexion, always stunningly dressed and in per fect taste, she has always been one of the centers of attraction whether at a social function or simplv in an "everyday" meeting. Besides being a bucihi lavume, iviiss tyan is promi nent in musical circles, being the pos sessor of a clear, soprano voice. She has also traveled extensively and has a large number of friends abroad as well as at nome. Army circles may be congratulated upon this new ac quisition to its scores of delightful women. Captain Peek graduated from West Point Military academy In 1901 with high honors. His rapid advancement shows him to be a man of remarkable talent and he is considered one of the nnest oracers in tne army. Since his arrival at the Post he has been very Fashion Note No. 1.

College politics and college society are always amusing to the innocent bystander, although the students take them both very seriously. There was a big political contest at Washburn this week over the election of the editor of the Washburn Review in which one of the frats, the Kappa Sigma, joining with the barbs downed those haughty aristocrats, the Delta Phis. The sororities also figured in the uprising. The Delta Phi and the Sigma Delta Psi (girls) are the oldest frat and sorority at Washburn and although there are some exceptions to the rule, a Sigma Delta Psi girl usual ly has a Delta Phi Steady, and (al though this will doubtless be resented by the exceptional Kappa Sigma who has a Sigma Delta girl, or the occa sional Delta Phi whose "doll" is a Beta) for all practical purposes, po litical and social, the Delta Phis are aligned with the Sigma Delts and the, Kappa Slgmas with the Betas. This was illustrated in the struggle of last Thursday when the angry mob march ed up and down in front of the Sigma Delt house taunting the sorority girls with cries of "Down with the Sigma Delts and Delta Phis!" They avioded the Delta Phi house, however, and whether this was because they naturally supposed most of the mem bers of the fraternity were at the Sigma Delt house, or because, as the Delta Phis scornfully imply, they took cowardly advantage of feminine help lessness, far be it from deponent to say. In the old days, before there were frats and sororities at Washburn, the social sets and political factions were represented by the literary societies: the W. C. L. S. and the Gammas, the men's "societies, and the W. G. L. S. or the Alethean, co-eds. Although social lines were not so closely drawn at Washburn in those days as since the organization of frats and sororities, college society was by no means a perfect democracy, even then. The W. C. L. S. and the W. G. L. S. were the real creme de la creme (whatever that is), and the "Near Great," with the toadies, syyeophants and favorites, who always follow social leaders, while the Gammas and Aletheans in cluded the whole revolutionary faction from the natural, born radicals and the envious society "outs" who would be "Ins," down the scale to the "sub merged tenth." Of course, as in all social divisions, there were incon gruities and inconsistencies: demo crats in the camp of the aristocracy, and students who afterwards proved to belong naturally to Our Set, who, by mistake, got in with the "Great Unwashed."-1 Of late years, since the organization of the frats and sorori ties, the literary societies have ceased to be a social factor but they are still to be reckoned with politically. The college is divided into the two, general camps, Frats and Barbs. And while as In every society, the Barbs outnum ber the Frats, the Frats, having the leaders, and the influence and the as surance and the other qualities which mark the governing class, always and everywhere, run colege politics and vote the Barbs pretty generally to suit themselves. A college election is, of course, carried by Barb votes, but one or the other of the Frats usually picks the candidates and makes up the tickets. The election of the Review staff is one of the big political events of the year at Washburn. For some years the two frats have alternately named the editor. When the editor was a Delta Phi the business manager was a Kappa Sigma and a minor job or two was thrown as sop to the Barbs. This year it was the Kappa Sigmas turn to elect the editor, but instead of conceding the sub-editorships to the Delta Phis the Kappa Sigmas Joined forces with the Gammas to down their ancient enemy, the Delta Phi, and of course licked 'em two to one. The W. C. L. S. pretty generally voted with the Delta Phis, but, since they lost their social Im portance, the W. C. L. S. hasn't count ed for much at Washburn, and the Gamma vote included practically all the Hoi Pollof. In recognition of their service a Gamma barb was elected business manager, and as this is the only position which carries any pecu niary remuneration, it would look as if the Barbs had bought something, for once. As they would really con trol the situation, if they only realized their power, one might think that the lesson would sink in, that the Barbs would organize and run politics at the college themselves. But no: another election is likely to see them deserting their own cause and eating out of the hand of a frat leader as before. Miss Velma Knapp, 815 Lincoln street, entertained the "Flower club." a num ber of little girls, among whom is the governor's younger daughter, Miss Margaret Stubbs. this morning. All the little girls have taken their favor ite flower for their club name and the company included Pansy Stubbs. Car nation Purdy. Peony Hill, Bluebell Barber, Rose Robb, Violet Knapp and Sweet William Knapp. The engagement is announced of Miss Addle B. Curry, a nurse at the Santa Fe hospital and Mr. David Charles Munford, son of Mrs. Martha H. Mun ford, 1305 Garfield avenue, who was graduated from the Washburn medi cal school this spring and was a mem ber of the football team while he was in college. Both Dr. Munford and his fiancee are in Harrlsburg, Pa., where they have been assigned to Chinese mission field by the executive commis sion of the board of foreign missions of the United Evangelical church. They will be married Just before they sail for China, probably in Topeka, where their friends and relatives were much surprised to hear of their engagement through an Associated Press dispatch yesterday. The Kappa Kappa club entertained Friday evening at the home of Miss Eleanor Tasker for Miss Mary Ripley, who leaves soon for Boulder, Col., with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Ripley.

Mrs. Frank Cargill entertained the following Washburn girls at a luncheon at the Throop Thursday: Miss Ra Hotchkiss, 'Miss Mildred Guild, Miss Bess Allison, Miss Helen Morrow, Miss Ethel Kingsley. The sensation of one of the high school parties this spring was the fact that one of the men. a new chap in town, had eighteen dances with one girl. It was said that he was somebody's chauffeur and didn't really belong to Our Set at all, but investigation proves that, although he sometimes "shofes" he is an agent for an automobile company. Besides he is a college man and a member of a Greek letter frat, which is next thing to divinity. Mr. P. J. Monaghan went to Saint Marys today to attend the triennial reunion of the alumni of Saint Marys college and to be present at the dedication of the new Immaculate chapel built by the alumni of the college and which will be con secrated by Bishop Lillis tomorrow.

Miss Bess Ren wick, Miss Ora Moneypenny, Miss Ber nice Chipman, Miss Mary Williams, Miss Bertha Rightmire, Miss Maida Ripley and Mrs. Ripley.- What the average woman, suffering with the modern fashionable ailment of "nerves." needs most is something to do. Half the women of the leisure class are ill with some sort of nervous disorder and the sanitariums and rest cures are overflowing with them. Nine times out of ten their trouble is caused by idleness and boredom.

EMMA McCASLIN 504 Buchanan Street Independent Phone 2027 Bine of "nerves" who might be cured if they would dismiss their servants and do their own housework. There is very little nervousness, insomnia and that sort of thing in the lower classes. And while some people point to thia fact as a proof of their superiority, the real explanation is not in the fact that they are too highly bred, "too far from the soil," too rarefied, intel lectually and spiritually, but that they are, in plain words, too lazy, or too stupid to have real occupations and absorbing interests, without which the strongest mind wavers and the best constitution weakens. The better the" mind, the greater the intellectual and emotional capa city, the more dangerous is idleness. If there is one fact about ourselves of which we are absolutely sure it is that good health and contentment both demand a regular and congen ial occupation and that work is our best friend.

TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS, GREETING: Bv cintnm and hv statute the Amerl. can people have set apart one day In each. year in which to commemorate witn sun- able ceremonies the preservation of the f -T through the tribulations of the hravA men whn f miBrht and fell to preserve tne union ana ina supremacy tne national government. The Kansas statute on this subject reads an fnllnwft? 'WHEREAS, The loyal "people of the United States, inspired by a sentiment of reverent respect for the memory of our hemic rinnri hnv. bv nnontluieou8 COn- sent riArllfAtAri th thirtieth flu V of Mar of each year to ceremonies in honor of the IJI J 3 tl,. own lives to save the life of the republic, ey need no praise whose deeds are euioev. nnn nnrninff innr wn can now j or do will add to the glorr or brighten the fame of that gallant host who a quarter of a century ago came thronging from tarms, worKsnops, ornces ana scnoom, fieht. to sniffer nnd tn di a for the Union and freedom. -But the story of their sub lime self-sacrifice and their dauntless courage should be kept forever fresh and iair in tne nearts and minas 01 tne youus, until the end of recorded time. So long as men and women teach their children to revere the memory of patriot heroes, so long as the peaceful present honors and emulates the example of the war worn past, there need be no fear that the dead have died in vain, or that a gov ernment of the people, by the ped"ple, for tne people" win perisn rrom tne earni. The steadily growing popularity of Me morial Day, and the universal Interest taken in its beautiful ceremonies, is one of the most hopeful developments of American sentiment. Therefore. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGI6- LATERE OF THE STATE OF KAN SAS: Section 1. That the thirtieth day of May of each year shall be and the same is hereby declared to be a legal holiday." As the thirtieth day of May falls on Sunday this year, the Grand Army of the ftepuDiic and the Kansas Department ot that noble order have recommended that Memorial Day be observed on Monday, May 31st., where other arrangements have not been already made. jx is appropriate tnat so rar as conven ient there should be uniformity in the date, and it is fitting that deference should be paid to the wishes of flhe prin cipal patriotic society or tne unnea States. The Grand Army of the Republic. Therefore, I, W. R. Stubbs, Governor Of the State of Kansas, do hereby designate Monday the Thirty-first Day of May, A. D. Nineteen Hundred and Nine, as a day for the observance of the ceremonies per taining to Memorial Day, and urge the people 01 Kansas on tnat day to lay aside, as far as possible, their usual avo cations, and to observe the said day with suitable, and appropriate ceremonies for the inculcation of patriotism and in grateful appreciation of the deeds and services of the soldiers and sailors of the civil war. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF I have signed these presents and have caused to De arnxed hereto the ureat Seal of the State of Kansas. Done at the State Capitol, To peka, Kansas, this 21st day of May, the Nineteen Hundred and Ninth year of our Lord, the One Hundred and Thirty Third year of the IndeDend- Seal. ence of the United States, and the Forty-Ninth year of the admission of the State of Kansas into the Union of American States.
