Hopkins' Supporters Forsake Him for New Man. Springfield, 111., May 26. Con gressman William Lorimer, of the sixth congressional district, was elect ed United States senator today by the Joint session of the general assembly. 'Ihe election of Lorimer came about through a coalition of Democratic as semblymen and the anti-Hopkins Re publicans. The hall of representatives through the hours preceding the close of the deadlock was crowded with a host of politicians. Strong ef forts were made by former Senator Hopkins' aides to head off the break to Lorimer buthey were unavailing. The vote of Mr. Shurtleff, the 89th representative to vote for Lorimer made the 101st vote, the vote which made the election of Lorimer abso lute. Two house members did not vote Daley and Hope and with Sen ator Schmidt absent, the total vot ing strength of the Joint session was 200, 50 in the senate and 150 In the house. "Wild cheers filled the hall when the decision was announced. The balloting was attended by suppressed excitement and some confusion. The first Republican to shift to Lorimer was Senator Ball, Senator Ereidt followed, and explaining his vote, said that Lorimer could ably represent the people and always was consistent. As the balloting progressed Lorimer constantly showing gains, piany of the senators explained their votes. Senator Isley, Democrat, protested against the election of a by-partisan candidate. Bursts of oratory punctured the roll call and some of the Democratic repre sentatives took their brothers in the faith to task for deserting the banners of strict Democracy. Representative Donohue prophesied that the Democrats who voted for Lori mer would be met at the outskirts of their home districts with shotguns. While the voting was progressing, Lorimer calm and apparently unexclted, strolled through the corridor back of the speaker's stand, seemingly the cool est and most unconcerned man in the whole excited place. In the many joint ballots of the dead lock nearly 150 candidates have been listed for the office of United States senator, the great majority of them being Demo crats. Of the 89 house members who voted for Pfnator Lorimer, 47 were Democrats and 43 Republicans. In the senate six Democrats votd for Lorimer. On the ninety-fifth ballot the total vote was: Name. Senate House. Total. Hopkins 24 46 70 Ixirimer 19 S9 108 Strinerer 7 16 23 William Lorimer elected with 108 votes.

HERMANN NOT IN IT. Refuses to Be a Party In Threatened Ouster of Pulliam. Cincinnati. May 26. There is not a chance to enlist Garry Harrmann in the fight to oust President Harry Puiliam of the National league. "I cannot believe that such a move is being contemplated," said Mr. Herr mann when he read the report from the east that an alliance had been formed by two national league mag nates to have the scalp of President Pulliam and to elect Captain Anson of Chicago president of the National league. "But if this thing is contem plated they'll have to count me out. I'm for Pulliam. When he went away for a rest during the late winter we promised him that his place would be ready and waiting for him when he re covered. I mean to stick to that prom ise. "I'm for giving Pulliam another chance to show that he is a well man again and in good shape to handle our affairs." FOUR PERSONS DROWNED Gasoline Launch Is Carried Through Sluice Gates of a Dam. Grand Rapids, Wis., May 26. Four persons were drowned and four 4 others rescued from a capsized gasoline launch, which was carried J through the sluice gates of the dam of the Consolidated Water Power company of this city last night and dashed to the rocks below.

Freddie Welch of England outtougnt ana outclassed Phil Brock of Cleveland, O., in a twelve round bout last night. HIRED MAN DID IT Daniel Loganston Then Turned Revolver on Himself. Both Were Dead When Found Soon After. A double tragedy was enacted at the farm house of James Abel, one and a half miles south of Grantville, at 2 o'clock today when the hired man, Daniel Loganston, shot and killed Mrs. Abel and then ended his own life with the same weapon. The dead bodies were found soon after the tragedy when Pearl, a daugh ter of the family who had been away, came home and entered the house to find her mother lying dead on the floor covered with blood and shot through the head. Through the open door of the next room, the girl saw 'the prostrate body of the hired man, also dead and lying in a pool of blood. The coroner from Oskaloosa had not reached the scene of the tragedy at 3 p. m. The hired man, Daniel Loganston, had been discharged this morning and it is suspected that the man became angry and returned to the farm house intent on crime. The community is greatly excited. BETTER CHRISTIANS. Japanese In America Compared With Those Who Seek to Keep Them Out. Denver, Colo., May 26. That the Japanese resident of the west Is a bet ter Christian than the one who seeks to keep him out of the schools and coun try was the intimation of Dr. W. A. Halsey, of New York, secretary of the board of foreign missions, in an ad dress following the report of the board before the general assembly of the Presbyterian church this morning. "I have received a letter this morning," said he, "from a man representing 1,000 Japanese in various western states. He says that his people have raised $3,000 for the evangelizing of the Japanese, and he wants the assembly to give a like amount. They are scorned, but they are Christians, and I wonder if not better than the ones who scorn them." The report of the board v Indicated that there are 500,000,000 people in the world, who have never heard of the Bible and Dr. Howard A. Johnston of Colorado Springs suggested that for each 1,000 Christians in this country to send one missionary would mean a teacher for each 25,000 heathen and this would be only equitable. Dr. Halsey grew critical toward the church in America as he contrasted it with the missionary work done by natives in al most every foreign country. He did not speak of the missionaries, but said that great credit is due the unschooled natives for their zeal for the church. Dr. George B. Stewart, president of Auburn Theological seminary, present ed the report of the educational com mittee. He said there was not such a present need of money as of Insisting upon a better moral and religious in fluence in the home. He said If the in fluence of the home were properly di rected there would be a better fitted class of men and women for the mis sionary fields. Dr. Sylvester W. Beach of Prince ton, who formerly was a worker In the Latin quarter of Paris, spoke of the work among the American students there. He said there were 2,000 Ameri can boys and girls there when the work was first taken up and at that time there was no religious Influence of any sort. Now. he said, there is a large Sunday night attendance at regular services, maintained in a studio. The assembly adopted resolutions of support In the cases of W. H. Morrison and W. H. Shepherd, the latter colored, who as missionaries in the Congo dis trict, in Africa, are under trial by the Belgian government charged with libel. This afternoon the report of the com mittee on publication and Sabbath school work was taken up and ap proved. AT High School Willies IS SEVERE AT AURORA Buildings Rocked and Fires Fol lowed the Disturbance. The Tremor Lasted From Four to Thirty Seconds. Chicago, May 26. A light earth shock lasting only a few seconds was felt in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa and con tiguous territory, beginning at 8:42:30 o'clock this morning. Karly reports covered a territory from Springfield, 111., through Daven port, la., and Janesville, Wis., north to Muskegon, Mich. Reports of the vibrations, but recording no material damage were received from the fol lowing cities: Beloit, Wis., Peoria, Kewanee, Rockford, Joliet, Dixon, Streator, Ga lena, Freeport, Bloomington, Moline, Elgin, Aurora, Springfield, 111., and from Janesville, Wis., Davenport and Dubuque, Ia and Muskegon and Kal amazoo, Mich. Throughout the territory affected the only damage reported was of a minor nature. Several small fires were started by the overturning of stoves and many chimneys were razed. Aurora, 111., is said to have suffered particularly in this respect. In this city the shock was general ly felt but in the great majority of cases was attributed to the ordinary causes such as the passage of street cars, elevated trains, blasting in dis tant quarries or the passage of struc tural iron on big trucks on the Btreet. It was not until newspapers made their appearance with the story that the public learned that it had passed through a natural phenomenon. Damage in Chicago as elsewhere, was confined to the breaking of dishes and ornaments shaken from the man tel pieces or tables. No fires of ma terial consequence were reported.' In the outskirts of the city, several small fires were started, but were easily ex tinguished. During the period of the vibration it was almost impossible to get correct telephone communications owing to the swaying of the wires, damp from last night's rain, against each other. At Beloit, Wis., all the college build ings rocked violently and many per sons experienced difficulty in re maining on their feet. At Joliet chairs and other light objects were overturned and at Dixon gas fires were shaken out. At South Haven, and Benton Harbor, Mich., windows rattled violently and much china was broken. At Dubuque, la., the vibra tion seemed to have the effect of two shocks.- Davenport, la., also felt two shocks, the first shock being the more violent. Beloit, Wrls., May 26.

Peoria ex perienced its first earthquake in years at 8:38 this morning. The shock lasted four seconds and was recorded on the new weather bureau seismograph. Many of the larger business buildings were shaken and on the bluffs in the residence section it was felt more perceptibly than down town. The school children at the White school were about ready to assemble when a portion of the plastering fell, causing quite a panic among the few children who were in the room. Kewanee, 111., May 26. An earth quake lasting 30 seconds shook buildings here at 8:40 o'clock this morning. The windows rattled and small articles were shaken from desks. The tremor was distinct and was noticed in all parts of the city. Aurora, 111., May 26. At 8:40 this morning violent earthquake tremors 1 lasting ten seconds were felt here. LAST! in Right Hands.

The bank and insurance office building, a substantial seven story structure; was shaken violently and several hundred occupants made a hurried exit, choking the stairways in their haste to escape. In the manufacturing plants there were several panics when machinery rattled and boxes and crates fell. The local weather forecaster says: "There were two distinct seismic dis turbances moving from north to south." Reports from the residence districts emphasize the severity of the shocks.

Milwaukee, Wis., May 26. An earth quake lasting about 15 seconds was felt here at 8:40 this morning. No dam age is reported. Prof. Cox, the weather forecaster, said that the lights In his office swung from north to south during the shock and the chairs and light desks showed the effects of the vi bration. Although the disturbance was felt everywhere in this city, it was not until newspapers were on the streets that citizens were correctly in formed of what had happened. At first the vibrations were laid to passing street cars. A young woman stenographer in the federal building thought some one had come up be hind her and given the chair a shake. "You stop that," she said angrily, turning around, only to discover that there was nobody behind her and that the rest of the office force was ob serving the swaying of a large chan delier. Washington, May 26. A slight dis turbance lasting about a minute was recorded on the seismograph at .the United States weather bureau here to day, beginning at 9 o'clock, 41 min utes and 30 seconds, eastern time.

Vanderbilt Drives the Mackay Party to the Races. Epsom, May 26. The derby stakes of 6,500 sovereigns for colts and fil lies foaled in 1906, the blue ribbon event of the English racing season, cristance about a mile and a half, was won by Minoru, owned by King Ed ward. Sir Martin, the American horse, fell and was out of the race. He was ridden by Skeets Martin, the American Jockey. On Minoru the betting was 7 to 2: on Louveris 9 to 1, and on William the Fourth 20 to 1. Minoru is a bay colt bv Cyllane out of Mother Slegel and is consequently a high class animal in the thorough- oreu use ijynene is sire of Cicero, who won the 1905 derbv for Lord Ttnsp.- bery. As a 2 year old Minoru was not much of a success on account of some eye trouble, but he made a few good attempts, showing that he pos sessed speed and stamina. His work as a 3 year old continued to show im provement until he become favorite in mat classic event. The victory of his majesty's horse was exceedingly popular and was greeted by a great burst of enthu siasm. W. Rappal's Louvlers was second and William the Fourth, third. Fif teen horses ran. The steward's handicap of 1,000 so vereigns, for 3 years old, last mile and 44 yards of the derby course was won by H. P. Whitney's Perseus III. I'Anson -was second; Mustapha third. Ten horses started. The Caterham plate of 200 sov ereigns, for two year olds, distance five furlongs, was won by Suncloud. Acunha was second and Haggwood third. Among the fourteen, starters was H. P. Whitney's Balyhoo. A heavy downpour of rain which began early this morning and contin ued until noon, with threats of show ers during the afternoon, kept thou sands of the casual race goers from journeying down to Epsom Downs to witness the historic derby. Interest in the race however, remained un diminished and King Edward's Min oru was the favorite. The rain chiefly affected the crowd which usually comes down by road. The customary costers' turn outs, tradesmen's wagons, wagonettes and hansom cabs still were to be seen on the road but the procession was dim inished noticeably. A feature of the paTade this year was the taxicab. This vehicle enabled the busy man to leave his office after his morning's work, and get down here in time to see the big race. Few coaches, were out, but promi nent among those which did come down was A. G. Vanderbilt's Venture, chartered for the day by Clarence Mackay, who had with him a party of American friends. The Venture was driven by Mr. Vanderbilt himself. Many other Americans coming to the derby for the first time chose the time honored road route, but instead of traveling behind horses they were in motor cars. The great crowd which filled the grandstands and rode over the heath took advantage of the special trains that ran every few minutes and de posited their passengers right at the track. The sun had come out before it was necessary to leave London by train and the doubtful ones who had been scared off by the rain earlier in the day later joined the procession for the railway. King Edward and Queen Alexandra, Princess Victoria, the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the royal family came down by train. Upon arriving at Epsom they were driven to the royal enclosure in semi-state carriages, accompanied by outriders. The crowd at the course was wild with excitement and broke through the police cordon and almost mobbed King Edward, as following time honored custom, his majesty, as owner of Mi noru, led the champion into the pad dock. The field of 15 was sent away to an exceptionally good start. Brook lands made the running for the first mile with the king's colt well placed In fifth position Approaching Tattenham corner, Minoru Improved his position and stalling off, close to the home stretch, a strong challenge by Louveris, he won by the shortest of short heads. As soon as the horses entered the straight and the crowd recognized the king's colors were in front, the cheer ing began. Gradually the enthusiasm spread over the downs, and the cheers grew in volume as Minoru neared the judge's box. The victory was so nar row that there was a moment's hesita tion pending the judges' verdict, but when the royal number was hoisted to the top ol the u. ard a great roar burst out afresh and followed the king as he left the royal box and led his third derby champion to the unsaddling en closure. His majesty's two previous successes were achieved when he was the Prince of Wales. Sir Martin actually started a favorite in the betting at 3 to 1. First Monarch to Win It. The Epsom derby, the classic event of the Englisn turr ana the blue rib bon feature of the racing season was won bv King Jsawaras Minoru. In his victory the famous bay colt has made history today, being the first occasion on which the greatest of all races on the turf has been won by an animal belonging to a reigning mon arch. W. Raphael's Louviers was sec ond and Lord Michelham's William IV vsas third. The American crack. Sir Martin, owned by Louis Winans, an American resident of London, and bred in Ken tucky by John E. Madden, of whom so much was expected. felL Magnificent Minoru scored his victor"- by a head only, while half a length separated the second and third horses. The American crack was going strong in the running and was well up among the leaders, when he came to grief. Brooklanda was QUESTION OF BOSSES He Refused to Report to the Secretary of Commerce. President Taft Took Sides With His Cabin t Officer. Washington, May 26. S. N. D. North, director of the census, has tendered his resignation and it was accepted today. E. Dana Durand, deputy com missioner of corporations, has been nominated to succeed Mr. North. Mr. North's resignation is a direct result of his recent controversy with Secre tary Nagel. The following statement In connec tion with the case was given out at the White House: "Director North tendered his resigna tion as director of the census. It was accepted and the name of E. Dana Durand, now deputy commissioner of corporations has been sent into the senate to succeed him. Mr. North's resignation was based on the ground that on account of conditions existing and likely to continue his administra tion of the census office would not pro bably be successful." Mr. Durand Is from California, He has been in the bureau of corporations for sometime and it is believed will work in harmony with Secretary Nagel. It has been supposed up to within the last few days that the controversy between Secretary Nagel and Director North had been amicably adjusted. The friction between the two continued, however, and at last Secretary Nagel put the matter squarely up to Presi dent Taft, saying that either he or Mr. North would have to leave the service as existing conditions between them were intolerable. Director North held to the belief that the census bureau was an independent institution and that he was responsible only to the president. A congressional enactment put the census bureau under the department of commerce and labor however, and Secretary Nagel felt that in spite of the great powers conferred by congress on the director that offi cial should.be subordinate to the cabi net officer in charge of the department It was because of this friction that Director North was finally forced to step out.

Whitney's Bell of Troy filly. The victory of Persesus II. who was rid den by "Skeets" Martin, the American jockey in the stewards' handicap, the race next in importance to the derby, was a more popular one. Persesus won easily. The scene when Minoru came in i winner was the most enthusiastic wit nessed in Epsom in the memory of the oldest race goers. A tremendous outburst of cheerings went over the whole field, and the air was full of hats, waved in the dlrec tion of the royal box. where stood the king. His majesty was smiling broad ly and with his silk hat in his hand, he bowed repeatedly. The enthusiasm was rekindled when his majesty was seen, descending the stairs toward the track to lead his victorious horse into the weighing room. The members of the Jockey club made a line through, which his majesty pass ed, and as the king went by they raised their hats. King Edward was conduct ed by a detachment of police and i number of the track officials to the finishing post. Here he grasped the bridle of Minoru on one side while Trainer Marsh held the other. He also shook hands with and congratulated .Tookev Jones.- His majesty had considerable difficul ty in making his way back to the pad dock.

Washington. May 26. After Mr. Mr. Enery, a Democrat, had spoken for a high and protective rate on sugar today Senator Bristow of Kansas, a Repub lican, advocated a reduction, introduc ing an amendment to strike out the provision for "No. 16 Dutch standard" and reducing the duty on refined sugar from one and ninety-one hundredths to one and eighty-two and a half one hundredths of one cent a pound. He said. senator endeavors to re duce the existing duties in the bill he is at once accused of attempting to de stroy the industry affected." He insisted that the senators who are endeavoring to obtain reductions in the tariff duties were the best friends of the protective policy. "They want," he declared, "to have the protective policy stand as a symbol for American industries and not as a symbol for graft and greed." Illustrating his remarks by exhibiting bottles of sugar, Senator Bristow ex plained that according to his view the removal of the Dutch standard test would allow dark colored sugar to come into this country and at once go to con sumers if they should desire to have it without the refining or whitening pro cess. "The onlv purpose of this color test." he said, -"is to force the people to pay to the American Sugar Refining com pany 90 cents a hundred pounds for re fining that sugar." He claimed that in order to avoid the payment of duty on sugar of higher color standard the sugar trust imports the product of dark color and refines it. If the Dutch standard were re moved," he said, "a greater amount of revenue would be received. The Dutch standard had been superseded as a. standard for testing sugar by the polarlscopic test." Holding up to the view of the sen ate, a bottle of dark crystalizcd sugar, he said it was a product of Java and sold largely in England. Has not that very sugar driven out of existence the sugar re fineries of England?" inquired Mr. Smith of Mich. Mr; Bristow did not know about that, but he declared that If such Java sugar could be brought into the United States, it would permit the American people to use it "without paying toll to the American Sugar Refinery. "The Dutch standard alone with its attendant tax," he said, "now prevents the importation of such cheap brown sugar." "I can not as a United States sen ator say to the American citizen that he can not buy a cneap Drown sugar if he wants to do so," declared Mr. Bristow. "To do so would be a tyranny that the American citizens will not stand." Mr. Bristow declared that the ac tual differential received by the trust on refined sugar has been in creased from 26.5 cents per hundred pounds' to 67.3 per hundred since the Dingley law went into effect. Senator Clay Introduced an amendment to the sugar schedule, striking out the Dutch standard for grading sugar and fixing a rate of 50 cents a hundred pounds on sugar, cane juice and concrete and con centrated molasses, testing by the polarlscopic a bove 75 degrees and for every additional degree two cents a hundred additional; refined sugar $1 a hundred pounds. Molasses not above 40 degrees 20 per per cent ad valorem, above 40 degrees and not above 56 degrees three-cents a ga.- lon and above 56 degrees six cents a gallon. TAFT AND CARRUTH.

Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Great Bend, May 28. Barton county owns stook with a par value of $79,900, that nothing- was known about. And these stocks are owned by seven town Mp of the county. In 1886 -when the Missouri Pacific railroad was built across the state of Kansas it asked the people of the state for aid and in each township through which the road passed bonds were voted. The road in return for the bonds presented the township with an equal amount of stock, each share which had a par value of $100. 8o many townships in Barton county were anxious for the road that it zig aagged through the county, touching as many townships as possible. After the stock was received by the county and receipted for September 11, 1886, by County Treasurer L. F. Weaver, and County Clerk Ed Teed, the people for- t-t"!,.1,' I2L.ZZZ l f ti Jl had any value anyway and so as time passed it was forgotten. Then entered the mysterious stranger in the person of Edward F. Jordan who registers from Douglas county, Nebraska, and who appeared in the court house with the announcement that the county owned this much stock and he was prepared to buy the same. The county officers knew noth ing of the matter and commenced to look it up. They found thf had been received, but could find noth ing farther in regard to it. The mys terious stranger announced that he was ready to pay $20 per share for the bonds and that was the top price. Considerable speculation has been indulged in as to what the mysterious stranger wants and who he represents. The consensus of opinion seems to be that he is a Harriman agent who is out buying up the loose stock of the Mis souri Pacific with the expectation of securing control. The stock on the market today is worth $74. Mr. Jordan said he would be back in this county later, and if the commissioners saw fit to accept his of fer the money would be ready for them. Meeting of the township boards concerned is to be held soon and the matter disposed of one way or other. If the boards conclude to sell the stock the county will receive $15,980. Beside Mr. Jordan, there are several other men engaged in looking up the stock through this state and buying the same. In such case the best offer has been $20. In fact that has been the only offer and most of the boards con sulted have accepted the offer with out question. In addition to the county stock there were 230 shares "owned by the city of Great Bend. This was disposed of at the price named at the meeting and a bill of sale will be given Mr. Jordan when his check for the same is re ceived. Rice County Sells Too. Sterling, May 26. Rice county picked up $20,000 on Wednesday when the county commissioners sold 1,000 shares of stock of the old Wichita Colorado railroad which was acquired twenty vears ago when the county voted $100, OOO bonds to aid the road. This railroad ran from Geneseo to the south line of the county and was afterwards merged into the Missouri Pacific system. The proposition was made to the commissioners by E. F, Jordan of Omaha. The commissioners endeavored in every way possible to find the true value, but nothing additional could be ascertained. As the stock has been regarded as practically worthless for twenty years, they finally considered it a gooi business proposition to accept the offer. There is now a $20,009 check to the county's credit in the Lyons bank, and the stock will be delivered as soon as the check is honored. MO. PAC. RED LETTER DAY. Tliis Road Handled 249 Cars in 14 Trains. Wichita, Kan., May 26.

San Francisco, May 26. Mike (Twin) Sullivan of Boston and Kyle Whitney fought twenty rounds to a draw here last night.

'i i i 629-631 Kansas Ave. Fenlon Has Apparently Distanc ed All the Others. All the Best Hovering Aronnd the .200 Mark. The best feature of the Western League pennant race thus far, Judging from a Topeka standpoint, has been the showing which the Topeka team has made on the road, Topeka undoubtedly has the best road team In the league as the records will show. Thus far during the trip the Topeka team has won an even half of the games, counting the transferred one of Sunday. This is a greater percentage of games than any other team has won on the road this season. The four teams that were on the road during the first part of the season returned home sec ond division teams. Des Moines, which is now in the front row of the Western League teams made the best showing of the eastern and northern teams, re turning home with five out of 12 games won. Sioux City, which is now tied with Topeka won but three out of the first eleven. Omaha won four out of 12 and Lincoln but three out of eleven. With the exception of Lincoln all these four teams are forging to the front while battling on the home grounds. Since taking the road Topeka has made a grand showing. Denver started out good but slumped when hitting Omaha and Is now in the second divis ion. Pueblo has done about the same as was expected. Wichita has taken an awful slump and unless the rain has changed her luck she Is bound to be near the tail of the procession be fore she returns home in June. The real reason of the good showing of the Topeka team is not hard to see. It is from the fact that the team has been playing real baseball. The team is not a hitting wonder. There is not a man on the team however but can hit occasionally and the hits that counted have been delivered in the pinches. The team is not fielding ex ceptionally well either. But the team has been fielding brilliantly in the pinches and when hits are needed the batter at the plate Is generally the man to deliver. The playing of tha To peka team was fittingly illustrated last Sunday. The team made three errors and the hitting was not as evident as that of the Nebraskans. But the team bunched hits. Not discouraged with the opponents leading by a margin of three runs, the team went in in the fifth inning and batted out a victory. This same feat was duplicated a num ber of times on the last trip. There is something about the players, they never give up. Real baseball playing and a fighting spirit is what has made the Topeka team the best road team on the circuit. Wth Cooley at the head, the Colo rado trip will not be much feared nl though Colorado Is generally known throughout the Western league as Toboggan Land. Cooley has that happy faculty of making all his players work, and this will show the moun taineers that the Topeka boys can play as good a ball a thousand milee above the sea as they can on the wind swept plains of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. The Topeka team Isn't strong In bat ting. This is shown by the following averages which are compiled from the official scores: Sir Richard Cooley himself is batting under .200 think of that. There is only one .300 hitter on the team at the present time Fenlon. But there is a bunch of hitters, whose averages do not look very rosy at pres ent, who will come strong before the season is much further advanced and who will rank among the most con sistent sluggers in the Western league. For instance, there is Geier, Andrews, Kahl, and Downey, to say nothing of .Kerns and McManus, ana Uttle Lljah. It takes the old heads some time to get Into batting trim, but when they do look out. What the players are doing to the op. posing pitchers is shown, by the follow, ing: Player AB.

Pueblo at Omaha. The Lincoln Star says that Geier persuaded Umpire Wheeler to call the two teams play it out. Phil, ened him with violence if he made the two teams plays it out. Phil, Phil, you naughty boy. When did you get so boisterous. Omaha is now pretty well for tilled. Johnny Pendry will do the heavy utility stunt. Johnny is a good third baseman but can play any position pretty well. As Jay Andrews would say Pendry will be a star when he gets his growth. The race of the .Wichita and Pueblo teams at. the present time is something like a Fourth- of July greased pole climbing. Both teams appear to have run out of sand and are sliding, sliding. Pa Rourke has cut loose some of his tryouts. Rice, a pitcher secured from Cincinnati, has heen turned loose. Goode, a Denver youngster who was catching, and Hansen, a Council Bluffs pitcher, have all been turned loose. Claire has been sold to Kewanee. 111., in the Central asso ciation. The Detroit News hands a nice bouquet to George Speer, and says the former Western association southpaw is a better southpaw than Nick Altrock ever was. and will al most equal the eccentric one in field ing his position. The Fresno, California, outlaw team has a new shortstop. At the same time the name of. Ragan ap pears at shortstop for the Oak land team. It is probably our old Stevie who is back in organized ball. The Denver papers are talking about numbering the players when they are on the battlefield. It ought to be a good plan, for the outside fans who are not familiar with the players. The Wichita Beacon gives the To peka team a good send off, as the best road team on the circuit and prints some interesting statistics to show that the- Cooleysox are the best roadsters In the circuit. Thanks. Mr McMillan. The Lincoln State Journal says that a certain Topeka player is a thug and that he vomited a string of profanity while on the ball held. We are not surprised at this statement. People most always express their thoughts in the vernacular of their own associations. In Topeka all ball players are spoken of in gentlemanly terms. Take that. Mr. Lincoln Jour nal writer. We know you and your past and present. Jimmy Austin seems to be sticking at short for the Highlanders, and evidently his fine work had some thing to do with Stallings trading Ball to Cleveland. The former Omahog Is making a great record on the bases. According to the Sioux City Jour nal, Sailor Roberts, the Wichita first baseman and catcher, had an ex perience on the train that he will not soon forget, when he was mixed up unwittingly in a domestic entangle ment.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1909. v.. DOLLEYSSPEECH Bank Commissioner Addresses Kansas Bankers at Wichita. Feature of First Day's Session of State Convention. THE GUARANTY LAW Masterly Defense of Its Princi ples and Protection. Record Breaking Attendance to Hear Its History. Wichita, Kan., May 26. The twenty-second annual convention of the Kansas Bankers' association convened here this morning-. The attendance is larger than at any previous conven tion in the history of the association. Banking laws recently enacted have aroused the bankers of the state to the need and benefit of meeting in conven tion to talk it over and hear the views of others on the matter. There is great Interest being taken in today"s session. The feature of the convention was the address on "New Banking Laws" delivered by State Bank Commissioner J. N. Dolley this atternoon. Mr. Dolley was speaker in- the last house of representatives which passed the bankinsr laws and is also a banker himself. His address was a masterly one in which he covered every phase of the new guaranty law and upheld Its striking features as progress along the lines of safe banking and public protection. Mr. Dolley's speech in part was as follows: "It is useless to say that I am highly pleased to meet with the bankers of Kansas on this occasion their twenty eecond annual convention, and to meet with you here in the beautiful city of I I Wichita. It is needless for me to say at this time that I am proud of the Kansas banks and the Kansas Banners, both state and national. I do not be lieve there is a commonwealth on the civilized globe that has a more sound, solid, progressive and successful lot of bankers than has Kansas. Much credit is due them for the creditable part they have played in laying the foundation and building the solid superstructure of our great state, and it gives me great pleasure to bring you this greeting. Never in the history of the state have our banks been in such a sound, safe and prosperous condition as they are today. I am proud we are all proud of everything pertaining to Kansas; proud of her rocks and rills, her virgin and productive fields and rolling prairies, and above all, her splendid citizenship. "Kansas has accomplished more within the same number of years in the way of everything that goes to make up a great commonwealth than any other commonwealth on the face of God's universe. Kansas Has Many New Banking Laws. "T am on your program today to speak on the subject of the new Kansas banking laws. We have several of them of more or less importance, the results of the recent session of our leg islature. I presume that Kansas banks and Kansas banking methods have been discussed by the people of our state and the press mor during the past three or four years than thev have been during the entire previous his tory of the state. I will discuss these laws briefly." Mr. Dolley then outlined briefly the more important of the laws affecting the management of state banks and enforcing rigid regulations and new duties upon the directors. Referring to the law. which empowers the bank commissioner to strictly enforce the state panning laws, Mr. Dolley said: New Banking Laws Will Be Enforced. "Any bank commissioner who shall knowingly and wilfully permit the violation of any of the provisions of this act for a period of ninety days hy any bank doing business under this act may be punished by a fine of not exceeding one thousand dollars and imprisonment in the county jail for not exceeding one year, and In addition thereto shall be removed from office by the governor. This provision is very farreaching, and you can readily see that it behooves the bank commissioner to require the banks to live strictly up to the law. It is commonly known that in the past the state bank commissioner has been content with calling the attention of the banks in Kansas to violations of the law, and they have usually promised to discontinue the practice. I regret to say, however, that these promises have often not been taken seriously, and have been broken. I wish to say that I do not think it right and I cannot permit violations of the Kansas banking laws, especial ly with the guaranty law In force, which places any loss that may occur upon the solvent banks to pay; and I wish to say emphatically, at this time, to the bankers of Kansas, that the laws must be literally and technically obeyed in the future. I am thorough ly convinced that if our splendid banking laws are administered and obeyed properly there need be no bank failures in Kansas." Guaranty of Deposits. "There Is one more important law passed by the recent legislature, known as the 'Bank Depositors' Guar anty Law," of which so much has been said pro and con, earnestly and Get Rid of the Grouch Just say to the Waiter: Post Toasties It is the delicious corn flake food which puts you in good humor. "The Taste Linger Popular pkg. 10c; Large Family size 15c. Sold by Grocers. conscientiously supported by its friends, and on the other hand .vic iously assaulted by its enemies. Helped Make the Law. "I took a deep personal interest in all of the proceedings of this bill and probably watched it as closely and intently aa any member of the legis lature. Scores of the best bankers of Kansas, men in whose ability you and I have every confidence at all times, came to me earnestly supporting the bill, and said with all candor that it was the proper thing for our legisla ture to enact the law. Many other bankers came to the speaker's office and tried to impress upon me that the friends of the guaranty law were not in a business sense sane, were more or- less irresponsible, and that we should be at home husking corn and not members of the Kansas legisla ture; and in my case especially, as its speaker. Voluntary Co-operation Foundation. "We have utilized several time tried and well-proven points of finance and of common sense. Among these I wish to mention, first, the principles of voluntary cooperation and mutual ity the principle of the old adage that 'in union there is strength' and that 'in cooperation there is relief from the extermination that is meted out to the temporarily weak in times of great turmoil and disaster.' No banking system of the banking world has ever been successful that did not recognize the principles of coopera tion. I mention also the principle of insurance, the practice of laying something by in prosperous times to guard against casualty and the con tingencies of the future. To these add the principle of strict state examina tion and supervision of all things con nected with the banking business and you will have what has been written and studied with great care the new Kansas bank depositors' guaran ty law. Comparison With Other Laws. "Its comparison with other guaranty laws will show that the weak places in other laws, have been carefully avoided and that our law Is founded upon sound business principles. Guaranty laws which have existed in the past may be divided into two classes: One upon the principles of taxation wherein the application of the law is compulsory and mandatory, and the other upon the principle of limited assessment where the apphcation of the law to any bank is. voluntary and entered into from a sense of benefits to accrue to it. "Examples of each are found, the first in Oklahoma and the second in the Kansas law, both enacted within the last two years. The objection to the Oklahoma statute Is that it is prac tically an unlimited tax law. It pledges the entire assets of every bank to guar antee every other bank In the state It encourages speculation, the starting of unnecessary banks by speculators and irresponsible people, the payment of unsafe and, ruinous rates of interest to secure deposits; and I believe for these reasons their guaranty fund will prove to be Insufficient and improperly guarded, and their system will bring disaster. Strong Points of Kansas Law. "The Kansas bank depositors' guar anty law has carefully obviated all these objections. Kansas banks, under our plan, cannot pay more than 3 per cent interest on time deposits, and banks which have not been engaged in business for more than one year can not participate. Banks whose deposits exceed ten times their capital and sur plus cannot be admitted. It is not proposed to relieve a bank from re- ponsibllity. J. his question is raised: Will the fund be sufficient? Statistics show that on the principle of guaranty assessments a fund of ?o00,000, main tained as is planned, will make pay ment to every depositor of every bank that will fail in Kansas. Those who have assailed the theories of bank guar anty laws basing their arguments upon the operation, of laws of the past have persistently ignored a fundamental principle or relation of banking; that ia, the close similarity in nature of bank credits whether created by bank note issues or deposits. Was Tried One Hundred Years Ago. "The guaranty of bank deposits is not a new departure in the banking world. We find that in England, a hundred years ago, bank deposits were guaran teed, and have been in various ways during the past century. All of the guaranty laws of the past, no differ ence how broad their ternis, have had for their primary object the guarantee of bank notes, and a close study of the history of these will show that where they have failed they did so be cause they did not recognize the true principles of the identity in character of these two classes of bank credits, namely: bank deposits and bank notes. The currency commission, representing the American .Bankers association, re cently stated this principle so clearly that it was at once approved by the committee on banking and currency. in congress, and I call your attention to that fact. A bank note is essen tially the same as a deposit, payable on demand. It is a bank deposit con verted into such a form that it passes current.' It resembles deposit credits so closely that the Bank of England. the greatest and most successful finan cial institution the world has ever known, was built upon the issue of bank notes. For 200 years that bank had exclusive right to issue notes, and that carried with it the exclusive right to receive deposits. In the United States we have no 'bank of issue' and we can have no perfect guaranty of deposit credits until this, defect in our currency system is supplied and the nation given a currency sufficient to meet the demands of its great com merce. Then, and then only, we will have a system recognizing the princi ples of mutuality of banks and one which will guarantee notes and other credits upon the same basis. Definition ot the Guaranty Law. "The Kansas guaranty law adopted the principle of mutuality between banks. It is a sten in the risrht direc tion, and when the time comes as It must surely come and we are given a system of bank currency under state or federal supervision, it will find the Kansas guaranty plan ready for ap plication to the new departure. The Prosperity of Kansas. "There is at the present time S3 million dollars of deposits in the state banks of Kansas: a greater amount than ever before in the history of the Kansas state banks. If all the state banks participate under the bank de positors' guaranty law there will be approximately one-half million dol lars of government, state and muni cipal bonds put up with the state treasurer of Kansas as a guaranty that the assessments under this law will be paid. There will be an annual assessment of one-twentieth of one per cent on the average deposits of these banks, which will provide an annual Income that is more than the average loss of the state banks in Kansas during the last twenty years. with the further authority of making nve or these assessments during any one calendar year, should conditions demand it. The Guaranty Fund. "Should the entire legal assess ment be made as provided under the law in any one year, which is five as sessments at one-twentieth of one per cent, the total sum realized there from would be tl65,000. The maxi mum strength of this fund, when all the banks participate, will be between J600.000 and 700,000 and will be in creased by annual assessments until it reaches one million dollars, which is the permanent amount of the fund. Should it be depleted by a failure, it will be promptly restored by an as sessment. Safeguards Thrown Around the Law. "The bank depositors' guaranty law is under the strict supervision of the estate bank commissioner's attorney general's and state treasurer's depart ments. There is no expense attached to the banks for its operation not a single dollar. Rigid scrutiny should and will be exercised in every instance in the acceptance of the banks for this fund, and only-such banks as are thoroughly solvent, clean, well-managed and operating in full compliance with the Kansas banking laws will be accepted under any conditions. Very close and exacting examinations will be made at the time the bank makes application to come under the law. Losses From Kansas Bank Failures. "The net losses from the failures of state banks in Kansas during the past twenty years, which includes the wholesale failures of banks during the years between 1892 and 1896, was not more than an average of $25,000 per annum. There is no probability, I might say possibility, that Kansas will ever have as many bank failures within the same time or as great a loss through the suspension of banks in the future as in the past, and I hold, financially speaking and ,1 be lieve that any fair-minded person of business affairs, especially a banker, will agree with me that the afore said provisions as to bonds as secur ity and the assessments as provided under the bank depositors' guaranty law are equal to any emergency that will probably arise in Kansas: that the provisions of this law are abso lutely sound from a business stand point and provide sufficient sums of money to thoroughly and safely pro tect every dollar of deposits in the state banks of Kansas; and that ev ery depositor who places his or her money in a guaranteed state bank takes no possible chance of losing a single penny. The liability is limited and the possible expense to the banks cannot become a burden in any event. As to Wildcat Banking. "The statement has been made that the guaranty of deposits will increase wild-cat, speculative, loose and unie llable banking. I differ entirely as to this. I am of the firm belief that the law will reduce very materially these very undesirable features. I believe that the organization of a bank has much to do with its success. Bank; should only be organized in communl ties where they can be profitably sup ported, and the stockholders and pro moters should be men of that com munity, financially responsible for their double liability, and the bank should be officered by competent men of un questionable business integrity. I ex pect to watch very closely the organ ization of all new banks during my administration. The Law Is Right in Principle. "The Kansas guaranty law is right In principle and adequate as to the so. curity of deposits. The people of Kan sas demanded this protection, and they are entitled to it, and I trust every state bank will participate under the law and thereby make it a splendid success. Banker Should Fall With His Bank. "The true banker should be at all times thoroughly imbued with the spirit that is found in a ship's captain You are aware that it is an unwritten nautical law among sea-faring men that the captain of the ship must go down with the ship, if need be, and un der no circumstances or conditions de sert his vessel as long as it floats. The same spirit of devotion to his call ing should make the banker risk his all if necessary, yes, I might say his life, in the preservation of his bank and give up every dollar of his own fortune to save the interests of de positors who in confidence have en trusted their fortunes and their all to his keeping. Unless a man is ever im bued with the sense of responsibility for the welfare of his customers and of the community In which he lives, and which have placed confidence in him, I would advise that he never enter tne banking business. I am pleased to say that the most of the bankers appre ciate the enormous responsibility which at all times rests upon them. Will Co-operate With Bankers. "Now. gentlemen of this convention, I wish to say to you in closing that as bank commissioner of Kansas my doIIcv will at all times be to aid. help and assist, in every way possible, each and every bank and banker, and help In every way the profession of bank ing and place our banks and our hon orable calling upon a higher level. No duty will be too great, no task too arduous, at any and all times, for me to perform In behalf of our mutual ad vancement and greater success." MAY DIVIDE TERRITORY. Visit of Standard Oil Officials Causes Much Comment. Tnd-eDendence. Kan., May 26. Much talte has been caused by the visit of the officials of the Standard Oil com pany to this city and much speculation has been the result. The trip, as has been announced, was in the nature of an annual tour of inspection. I Tt has been asserted tnat tne head quarters of the Prairie Oil Gas com pany will still be retained in this city, despite the rumors to the contrary, it is likely, however, that a division of the territory or tne tanaara opera tions, in this part of the country, will be made. What is most encouraging to Inde pendence and vicinity, is the proposi tion that operations will be extensively resumed hereabouts, provided legisla tion becomes more favorable.

RECENT RAINS HELPED WHEAT Straw Is Short But Cereal Promises to Yield WeU. Wichita, Kan., May 26. Accord ing to reports received here by the millers and grain dealers, the con dition of the wheat crop throughout the wheat belt in southwestern Kan sas is greatly Improved by the re cent rains.

Now from twelve to eighteen, bushels to the acre will be the yield in some coun ties if favorable weather continues for four weeks. In Pawnee, Edwards. Stafford Barton and Rice counties the wheat is looking well but the straw is very short.

FULL LEASED wire report OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. "This Is growln' weather," is the sat isfied remark of the farmers these days, Aim so no one else has any license to kick at It even If It .Is a bit disagree able, unless It be the proprietors of amusement parks. Dr. Evans, health commissioner of Chicago, discredits the theory "that dirty bank note are vigorous agents In spreading disease. He says the ab sence of money Is really more detri mental to good health conditions. Wise man. The punishment cannot be too swift r severe for the rowdies who defaced the walls and works of art In the high school's assembly hall. It Is difficult to conceive how such vandalism as this could have been committed In a civil ized community. Henry H. Rogers, the great financier, divided $16,000,000 of his estate among his four children a few months before his death. That's the way wealthy New Yorkers have of avoiding the full burden of the inheritance tax law which prevails In that state. The sugar trust has been roundly denounced In the senate of late, but that doesn't worry the sugar trust any. It feels reasonably certain that Mr. Aldrich and its other friends In that body will see to It that there is r.o material reduction In the tariffs on sugars. Let no one in town forget that June 2S, 24 and 25 are the days which have been set apart by the business men of the city to entertain their custom ers, the merchants throughout the state. Everybody should put his shoulder to the wheel to make the oc casion a memorable one. And now a Philadelphia newspaper re porter la to walk from that city to Seattle. He ought to be i.i good trim for such a journey. It may not be gen erally realized, but the average news paper reported Is anything but a stranger to "leg work." In fact, he is on the go, and on foot, most of the time. Cuba is facing another crisis. This time it is a financial oner "A deficit of 515,000,000 on the yearns -expenses is staring her in the face. Perhaps the little republic should not be censured too harshly for this. The United States is setting her an example of funning behind in expenses to the tune Of $100,000,000 in 12 months. Mr. Meyer, the secretary of the navy, lias made a cut of $10,000,000 in the es timates for his department for the next fiscal year. If the heads of all the ther federal departments do propor tionately as well. President Taft's ef forts to bring about an economical ad ministration of the government's af fairs will not be in vain. John Hays Hammond has turned down the offer of President Taft to make him the United States minister to China. Surely Mr. Hammond could have obtained more fun out of such a Job than he could have as vice presi dent of the nation. He was a candidate for that place before the last Republi can national convention. Although In the Jungles of Africa, Mr. Roosevelt does not lose an oppor tunity to Increase the membership of the Ananias club. He characterizes many of the stories that have been sent out about his hunting experi ences as pure inventions and fabrica tions. It was to be hoped that a good many of them could be so classified. Efforts are now under way to shatter another important incident In the his tory of the world. Alleged proof has been dug up to remove Columbus from the pedestal accorded him for the dfs covery of America. It will soon be necessary to revise the details of all of the historical events as they have been recorded for centuries if the modern sbatterers of history can have their way. What an adept at fine sarcasm is Dr. Judson Smith, secretary of the American Tract society, who told the delegates to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church that the board of foreign missions wants more arith metics to place in the hands of the natives of Uganda so that they may equip themselves to compute the num ber of animals killed by Mr.' Roose velt during his African hunt. Senators Bristow and Curtis are keep ing up their good work on the tariff even if it isn't accomplishing anything. They were among the Republican sen ators who stood loyally by the people and voted for free lumber, but Mr. Aid- rich and his cronies. Including a few Democrats, had the votes to carry the day against this proposition. Still, there Is great satisfaction to the peo ple of Kansas to know that they are being properly represented by their United States senators even If they are on the losing side. BUSINESS BEGINS TO HUM. A bird's eye view of the conditions which are now prevailing in all ave nues of the business world, and which is really a terse summary of news items of Industrial activity throughout the country which have been printed in the newspapers during the past week or ten days. Is contained in a paragraph in the current financial re view issued by Henry Clews Co.; the New Tork banking house, as follows: "Our industrial situation shows steady improvement. Nearly all lines of Industry are beginning to feel the stimulus of renewed confidence. Rail roads, the largest buyers of materials, are making heavy purchases of Iron, steel, cars, locomotives and other prod ucts, partly to carry out deferred Im provements and renewals and partly for new extensions, as well as to meet a now growing increase of traffic. Gross and net returns plainly show that our railroads are once more, enjoying nor mal conditions. Building and real es tate circles are experiencing a pro nounced recovery. In mercantile cir cles there is alsomore activity. Re ports from interior merchants are gen erally of a favorable character; con sumptive demands are increasing, and a general spirit of hopefulness pre vails." This does not overdraw the picture of the business conditions in the nation in any way. It is as conservative as are all of Mr. Clews' statements and opinions. It Is founded on facts. And it shows that a great prosperity is advancing on the people of the United States again, which will be larger and more lasting than any that have gone before. It will pick up im petus with great vigor as soon as the tariff legislation has been determined upon. Nor does it matter much how this vexed question is settled. "When It is finally decided upon the business world can make its plans accordingly and then get down to the work at hand of developing the United States to a greater degree of its possibilities. And t'.:ey are well nigh limitless. DAXGERS OF SPRING CLEANING. That "spring cleaning" especially when certain simple precautions are not observed, says the Literary Digest of recent date, has many possibilities for evil, is asserted by an editorial writer in the London Lancet. He says: "The cardinal fact connected with V. i c thai (tinro mnct 1 iiua ,iv,vcwuiG c 1 1 ways be potentialities for evil lurking in dust and dirt, and a general house cleaning means the removal of these deposits, which usually represent the sum of a year's accumulation. It would be strange indeed if this accumulation was free from disease-producing organ isms, and it never is. Bacteriological examination would be bound to reveal a rich garden of pathogenic entities in the household dust and dirt annually removed in the spring cleaning process. "It follows that only that method of spring cleaning can be approved which secures the removal of the dust and dirt as against one which merely scat ters them. Spring cleaning, alter an. amounts to the application ot awpuj principles to the dwelling house, and modern refinements teach that unless the process Is well done it might as well be left undone. The accumulation of dirt In a house is repugnant to sanl thA nfnreKR of cleaning tary lueao, should not be an annual ceremony but carried out at more frequent intervals Few householders, however, would find it convenient, we imagine, to submit the house to a kind of aseptic process more than once a year, anu fact that it Is commonly done only ooria that an accumulation of some depth and intensity has to be dealt with, xneoreucaiij, terials that may probably contain dor- n-niiinir entities should nia.nL uiscaoc-t""""' be allowed to accumulate their forces. and therefore spring cleaning annual aseptic process applied to the houses is wrong in principle. Accord ing to this view spring cleaning should be abolished in favor of a regularly conducted cleaning process kept up all the year round at comparatively short Intervals. This is the course pursued by many careful citizens nowadays and the public would do well to follow their example." "BAD DAYS." Probably the experiences of most persons is all that Is needed to sub stantiate the theory of Dr. Herman Swoboda, a noted Viennese physician, that all men suffer from physical and mental exhaustion, for no apparent reason or excuse at recurrent periods. Dr. Swoboda contends that these periods come regularly each twenty three days, or on" multiples of that number and he goes so far as to con tend that nearly all natural deaths oc cur during one df these critical periods. He says that men suffer one of these "bad days" without having committed any excess of any kind. A "bad day" comes to a man without any appre ciable external cause. He may suffer from headache, palpitation of the heart, indigestion, nervous excitability, or lassitude. There may be some experts who will be able to dispute Dr. Swoboda's idea that these "bad days" come with un erring regularity, but certain it is that a day comes along occasionally with every man when he feels scarcely able, either in body or in mind, to do his day's work, no matter how laborious or how easy it may be. If there is anybody who does not experience these "bad days," he is an unusual and fortunate individual. According to a Loridon specialist who agrees in gen eral with Dr. Swoboda's theories In this regard, there is only one thing to do when a man feels he is having a "bad day." "He must go Into the country," says the Londoner. "If it is summer, let him lie in a lonely field and think nf nnthine. but the cows. But also he should not eat meat." It would be easy for almost everyone to follow the latter part of this advice. Denying oneself meat for a day or two is not much of a task. But the rub comes in getting out into the country for a day off on a "bad day." This would strike the aval -age sufferer in this respect as an Ideal and delightful sort of a cure. Un fortunately though, most men cannot do this when their "bad day" comes along. They are a cog of some sort in the business machine that gives them employment. And they cannot be spared from playing their part, small or large though it may be, without causing more or less confusion. So they simply have to grlri and bear it. But all of them are likely glad that Dr. swoboda has given voice to his theories. It will help them over their "bad days." They will no longer be looked upon as signs of deterioration. They are merely one of man's natural burdens. JOURNAL ENTRIES It all thoughts were worth money everyone would be well-fixed, flnan cially. An uneasy conscience is more an noying and uncomfortable than the seven-year itch. There is this drawback to being a baseball fan. He generally has to put up witn a coia supper. Many persons have the falling of not announcing their predictions of things until arter they happen. A man doesn't have to wait fifty years to celebrate his golden wedding If he is engaged to -a girl with millions. JAYNAWKER JOTS Ralph Faxon's serial editorial on Concrete Bridges" is running mer rily along in the Garden City Tele gram. It was still vigorous at Chan ter XTV. This must be a "nature fake" or a sister to one. The Atchison Globe tells of a young woman tin that town who recently made a dress in three hours. The Iola Record sees in the Con gressman Murphy resolutions on Mis souri federal judges an assurance that the old-time populist sentiment has come back to its own. The "Sunflower Seeds" department of the Wichita Beacon refuses to bite on the question as to what a split in finitive is, but it casually remarks that split peas make elegant soup. And the Atchison Globe did not even so much as crack a smile when it remarked that its attention had been attracted by an article in a west ern Kansas paper giving "Advice on Sea Bathing." A Jersey cow was recently hauled through Kansas by the express com panies. This tag was appended to her collar says the Salina Journal: "Feed me and water me, for I am far from home." The new law making It a misde meanor to employ child actors in Kansas after June 1 may, suggests Charles Blakesley, force the "Uncle Tom" shows to require Legree to "double" in the role of Little Eva. Evidently the "Over Our State" man of the Hutchinson News was re membered by his friends on the occa sion of his marriage for he remarks with a tone of sadness: "But the su preme court has decided that char ivaris are unlawful rowdyism too late for some of us." Some news items recently furnish ed the Sedan Times-Star by" Its Salt Creek Valley correspondent: The numitt showers continue to descend. The defunct and once impreg nable valley has sprung upon its feet. ine indicative signs are Sunday school singing school and numerous amusements which have their re creative part. We are not looking for that man who will take us by the nana ana leaa us aright. We have awakened out of our dormant state and are now in line all the time Here's to the elevating class of 1909. A jamboree was enjoyed by the young people Saturday night at the home of Harry Bleachea. Black Jack schoolhouse was incinerated on the night of the 20th. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Parties have been arrested by the insurance company, who are supposed to be Im plicated. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Occasionally we meet a woman these days who seems conscious of wearing too much hair. But, when a woman thinks it is possible she has on too much, she has on a terrible lot. The fight for universal justice won't be completely won until the mule is pet ted more, and the dog less. The mule is the greatest worker in the animal kingdom, but all it gets credit for is stubbornness and kicking. When a woman and her children are Invited out to a meal, she dresses her self first, then dresses them, and then leaves for the dinner on a dead run with her children in order that she may get them there while they are still clean. Of course a man becomes an angel after he is dead. But, in case angels know what is going on below, would a man angel feel right about it on hear ing that his wife had married again. He might say, "She will not be so lone some," but would that satisfy him? "Reporters," said an old newspaper man, "seem to be divided into two classes: Those with so much energy they write items that make trouble for the editor, or those with so little en ergy they don't write items at all." We have noticed, as a proof of the deadly boredom of life, that while tombstones say of husbands and wives that they were "always kind, honor able, loving and indulgent," none of them ever say that they were interest ing. We don't know of anything that could take the conceit out of the men more effectively than to glance back into the parlor five minutes after making a call: Every woman in it yawning, and complaining of being bored to death Many a man is unhappy and some thing of an anarchist because he can not afford champagne. He has heard that champagne is good, and grum bles because he is too poor to afford it with his meals. As a matter of fact, champagne is not very good. Take this from a man who has been terribly sick from drinking champagne. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. J What a girl likes about having sev eral beaux is she can count them as several more. A woman specially likes a man's compliments when probably he doesn't mean them. People who can do useful things are always considered by those who can't to have very little Intellect. If a man could get his finances straightened out he would be willing to consider straightening out his morals. One of the hardest things for a wise old man to remember is that there was much mora fun in being a young fooL KANSAS COMMENT ABSORB! Vfl POP 'I'M ITMTVRR Old populists have come into their own in the past seven years. They have seen abjut everything they ad vocated except -the sub-treasury taken up and either enacted into law or en dorsed In "ringing resolutions" by various conventions. -In the cam paign of 1892 or was it 1894 thd pops passed a, ringing resolution against the usurpations oi the federal judges. In the ast few years no less an,. authority than Theodore Roose velt practically endorsed that doctrine ana now a Republican representative has Introduced a resolution in the lower house asking tHat two of the federal judges be investigated. The PPS never got any further than talk with their campaign against the fed eral Judges, but they tried to "take it out" on the district Judges. They elected one to office who had never studied law and because this Judge didn't permit foreclosures In his court the state sujtemc court got af ter him. Then old Theodosius Bot kin, who used to' hold court in west ern Kansas with a gun and a black bottle, was impeached by the stale senate, but was saved from a final Judgement. If the pops ever try to rsvive the party thev will not have many Issues on which to run. Iola Record. IT IS GOOD FOR THE JUDGE. It Is all right to take a hard swat at a federal judge accasionally. It helps him. A federal judge is only a human man with .a life job and too much power. It spoils him. When he enters a court room a superannuated deputy marshal utters a superannuatel court cry. Every one gets up and goes through a Sev enteenth century mockery of making obeisance to the court. The federal judge feels the power of all this flat tering flapdoodle and it makes him incline to bigotry. When he travels from court to court he is surrounded by federal court at taches, and they fawn and flatter the judge. His word becomes law. and he gets to be a petty tyrant believing that what he says is right, merely beeauFf it goes. Therefore, in the interest of real American humility, and for the good of the judiciary system itself. It is all right to do what they did in Missouri this week express free opinion if His Honor. It will let him know that there are still some plain people and that he is one of them. Wichita lieac.-m. ANOTHER WOMAN SPOILED. Emma Eames- -was in Oklahoma City a few days ago. They treated her like a queen, giving her a vast audience. While she was waiting for a train to leave town a fond young girl asked for an introduction. She has a voice and an ambition and felt that she would be happy if she could only meet and speak to the great Eames. When the matter was explained to the Eames woman she said, "Tell the girl no." The Eames woman Is a snob, and we foolish, boosting, enthusiastic Amer icans have made her so. Lord for give usl Wichita Beacon. FROM OTHER PENS A GREAT SOLDIER. Except Lord Roberts, General Kitch ener is the most distinguished of all the living soldiers of Christendom. He has accomplished some wonderful things, and earned the title of the man of blood and iron in the field as Bis marck acquired it In the closet by re sults. 1 He is not In the class of the black prince or "Prince Hal." He is not a Marlborough ncr a Montrose. He Is more like Cromwell, or Wellington. But tbe soldier in history whom he most reEembles is Alexander Farnese, Spain's governor general In the Netherlands, flawless in courage, consummate in ac tion, thorough in administration, with a will of iron and the persistence of a devil. He is more like. Grant than Lee though he springs like the latter and holds on like the former a combina tion of the tiger and the bulldog. Like Wellington and Roberts, Kitchener is an Irishman: but he is as cold as an iceberg and as inexorable as the mul tiplication table. He is one of those accomplished captains of the school founded by the famous Maurice of Nassau, the son of William the Silent, who regard the musket as only one, but an important one, of the equip ments of the soldier. There is little of the Rupert or the Murat in him, to lead a delirious legion against a Balak lava. His plan is to turn an army into a machine to respond to its comman der's touch, and irather than an art. which Napoleon considered it, he looks on war as a science. Washington Post. TRAINED NURSE'S WIDE FIELD. The trained nurse has an ever widening field of useful endeavor. The latest demonstration of her value to mankind is contained in the re port of a chamber of commerce com mittee made public the other day. A big Cleveland industrial concern now regularly employs a nurse to look af ter the health and physical welfare of its many employes. She is retain ed to visit the sick, give advice and comfort to the ailing, to attend the injured and do all of those little acts of womanly skill and kindness that make the trained nurse a welcome visitor to any home. This is a practical form of welfare work and an example which, whether original or not, .deserves to be widely copied. It is another indication of the fact that the corporations, the big employers of help, are coming to a more nearly complete realization that they owe more to their employ es than the mere payment of a reg ular wage. Cleveland Plain Dealer. TALKATIVE STENOGRAPHERS. And now Wisconsin proposes to reg ulate stenographers along with rail roads, insurance corporations, pleuro pneumonia and the other things wherein reform has given the Bad ger state a national reputation. If a bill which already has passed the lower branch of the legislature be comes a law the beautiful artist of pencil and typewriter no longer may take revenge on a mean old thing of an employer ;by "giving away" the secrets of his business without get ting into Jail. The bill which has passed the as sembly was introducted by a young bachelor, who is said to have had some unpleasant experiences with gossiping stenographers. Being a bachelor, he never has had any un pleasant experiences with a jealous wife over stenographers, and it may be taken for granted that the gossip to which he feels impelled to put a stop concerns entirely the imparting of business secrets and confidential letters to outsiders.

"Cats," observed Mr. Patrick Fitz simmons Wednesday in the Gates ave nue police court In Brooklyn, "Is all right for them as likes 'em." Mr. Fitzsimmons' presenoe In ths Gates avenue court was only indirect ly due to his dislike of cats. The di rect cause was Mrs. Fitzsimmons. Cats were not mentioned in the complaint against Mr. Fitzsimmorrs. They were brought out in the evidence. Mr. Fitzsimmons appeared in court on complaint of Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who alleged that he had become a common drunkard. He lost no time in blaming it on the cats. "Cats," remarked Mr. Fitzsimmons, as heretofore recorded, "is all right for them as likes 'em. But fifteen of 'em's too many fer to live in the wan f re-room flat." "Fifteen!" exclaimed the court. "Are you sure about the number." Mr. Fitzsimmons averred with em phasis that he was right well assured of the exact number. He had counted the dratted beasts both when he was drunk and when he was sober, and the tally was always the same. There was no doubt about the number. Fif teen it was. He would not take off a single cat not even for cash. "Now, yer honor," continued Mr. Fitzsimmons, "me wife keeps these here cats in the house, d'ye mind? I kin niver come in without I'm fallin' over two or free of them. Me wife she's always got free or four of them in her lap, like. I kin niver go near her fer ter give her a kiss, we'll say, but one of these here cats puts up its back like a crokay wicket an' spits at me. Then like as not 'tis the back of me hand fer the cat, an' then 'tis the rough side of the wife's tongue fer me an' no peace in the house. Drink? Sure, I drink, mebbe more than is good fer me, at times. What else can I do with the house so full of cats there's no room fer me. There's no cats In the corner saloon, or if they is an' a lad gives it the chase it ain't a hangin' matter like it is in my house." He was remanded to await trial. New York 8un. Vienna's Plague of Pigeons. Vienna is suffering from too many pigeons, and the authorities are at a loss to know what to do to mitigate the nuisance. The birds, which num ber some thousands, have a privileged existence: nobody molests them in any way, so that they flourish and increase rapidly. Recently so many complaints have been received from the house owners of the dirty condition of the facades of buildings caused by the pigeons that the Vienna magistracy decided some thing must be done to reduce the num ber. In-their perplexity the magis tracy appealed to the Vienna Society for the Protection of Animals to aid them in a legal slaughter of the offend ing birds, always having regard, how ever, to the provisions of the new bird protection law. The society answered that It would be hardly consistent with their princi ples of friendliness toward animals to engage in a massacre of pigons, and therefore they must reject the official sDueal. The magistracy are now wrestling with the problem alone. Perhaps tbe unemployed of Vienna might help tnem. Vienna correspondence in Pall Mall Gazette. Women Still Savages?

Among other high rollers we have the elevated trains. The good we do is an excellent antidote for the ill we think. Silence is indeed golden to those who are paid to keep quiet. Men who travel on their nerve are apt to become nervous wrecks. Good luck never hangs around a man long enough to become tiresome. Somehow but few women seem to gTow old until after they get mar ried. Absence never fails to make the heart grow fonder of the almighty dollar. It Is easy for a woman with false teeth to bit off more molasses candy than she can chew. Nature has equipped every man for happiness, but he gets strenuous occa sionally and slips a cog. A girl can make a young man believe she doesn't want him to kiss her when she fas almost daffy for fear he won't. THE EVENING STORY Her Picture Card.

"It's Ject the ticket," she chuck led. On a flowery couch reclined a young man, and a young woman was offering him a piate oi most impos sible looking fruit with an air of ten der solicitude. The motto read: "I fain would sootne tny weanea hours With all a woman's powers. 'TIs woman's place to serve and wait Upon a loving mate." Miss Perkins wrote something on the caru. and firmly affixed a one cent stamp. "There, I guess mat u set mm to thinking, anyway."

With fast-beating neart, the girl whipped her best pink shawl around her and started out. Sure enough, Sam was in the easy chair with his crutches on the floor beside him, and Louisy, his twelve-year-old sister was doing sums. Sophrony could see them through the window as she tip toed up the gravel path. "Come in. Sophrony," shouted the young man, as he caught the sound of her voice in the hallway. "My!" whispered Louisy, "he aln t seen nobody since he was hurt." Sophrony trembled, but said cheer ily, "Hullo, Sam!" in her usual fash Ion. As Louisy disappeared after a pitcher of cider.

It would do no harm to say 'Yes," anyway. "Did you, Sophrony he persisted. Would you put up with a man who has only one leg?" "Indeed I would. If 'twas you. Sam," replied Sophrony, honestly. "Come over here, my girl," en treated Sam, holding out his arms longingly. All his shyness seemed to have disappeared. Sophrony went and knelt beside his chair, and as his arms closed around her Sam said: "If it hadn't been for this blessed card',' he pulled it out of his breast pocket -"I'd never would have had the courage to ask you." Sophrony caught her breath sharpr ly as she looked at it. "Oh, Sam" r then she hesitated "I never sent that one, but," she added hastily as she read the verse, -I would have if I'd seen it- I think it's Just lovely." Sam drew the pretty blushing face against his shoulder again. "Well, "it' all right, then; but see, here are your Initials down in the corner. Who do you suppose sent it?" "It's that blessed little dressmaker." said Sophrony, with a flash of com prehension.. "Land o' Goshen!

Price of All Fresh Meats May Be Raised by Packers. Chicago, May 26. Mutton or lamb chops are likely to be set before the diner by the waiter decidedly more "breaded" than anything else shortly as in five weeks the price has mounted reaching the highest point of recent years, with an advance yesterday of 15 cents. Pork, however, has re mained stationary. The rise in mutton caused rumors of advances in other fresh meats. It was reported from Omaha that fresh meats were to be advanced to the trade at once and to the consumers in a few days. Beef, it was said, was to be affected by a rise of from 2 to 4 cents a pound, to remain until the grass fed cattle began arriving in July. Chicago packers, however, denied that beef was to advance beyond the customary fluctuations. High prices of corn and other grain, it was as serted, had caused prices to climb re cently. POOR OLD CHICAGO. President Taft Will Not Lay City Hall Cornerstone. Chicago, May 26.

She had not had her clothes off for a month. Florence was sent to the Children's society. SHE GOT A VACATION. Sleep Walking Maid at the St. Sent In False Calls. Regis New York, May 26. For several weeks the night clerks at the St. Regis hotel have been bothered by myster ious Are alarms and push button calls, coming from the twelfth floor. On investigation of these, there never seemed to be any reason for them. De tectives were placed on the case and late last night after a fire alarm and a call for ice water had been sent in from a vacant room on the twelfth floor, they apprehended Maggie Mc Intyre one of the maids, who was walking in her sleep. It developed that she had been a victim of aom-1 hambullsm and had sent in the va rious alarms. The maid was given a vacation to cure herself of the habit FOUGHT A PISTOL DUEL.

The Appropriation Was Made at Har- riman's Suggestion. Salem, Ore., May 26. Proceedings have been begun in the state circuit court of Marion county to enjoin the state treasurer of Oregon from paying out $100,000 appropriated by the last legislature to be used partly to defray the cost of constructing a wagon road from Medford to Carter Lake, on the ground that it was special legislation. The road in question was the idrea of E. H. Harriman, who proposed that if Klamath and Jackson counties would each contribute $50,000 and the state appropriate $100,000 more, he would add $50,000 to make up the necessary $250,000 which it was estimated the road would cost. The course of the projected road runs from Medford to Pelican Bay Lodge, Harriman's sum mer home in this state, and thence north to Carter Lake. This body of water is one of nature's wonders, but its inaccessibility prohibits visiting it. Rio Grande Highest in Its History. El Paso, Tex., May 26. The Rio Grande is the highest in its history and villages and farms in the valley above and below El Paso are seriously threatened. In El Paso county a force of men has been constantly at work cutting away drift wood in order to save the bridges. Miss Hulda Chapin a Washburn college girl is the individual hit of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" as given at the Grand by the Modocs and the Oratorio society. Miss Chapin Is exceptionally pretty in a saucy, dimpled piquant style and she sings much, better than the aver age in musical comedy for this "neck o' the woods." She has a better voice to begin with and has the comic opera spirit, the gaiety, the bouyaney, the grace and charm which many amateurs. who have better voices than the average pro fessional, lack. Of course this is not saying that Miss Chapin is as good as the professional singers who come to Topeka in musical comedy. She lacks experience and she needs train ing, but she has a lovely voice, she would learn stage dancing readily and she gets the idea which Is the principal thing. There are other good singers in the aggregation, notably Mr. P. B. Hamlin in the role, of Col. John Graham, Miss Marie McCormick, Mrs. Dwight Harris (another mighty attractive young woman, by tne way) Miss Verta Wiley, who is too young and pretty for Mrs. Constance Pem- berton, Mr. Mahlon Harding, Mr. Wallace Pettyjohn, Mr. Tom Powell, Mr. Harry Crow, Mr. Frank Bobbins, Mr. Wayland Brown, Mr, Chester Grover, Miss Mary Sands and Miss Helen Campbell. The chorus is large and attractively costumed, the men in the uniforms of the federal army in the Civil war and the women in the picturesque toilets of that day parted hair, hoop skirts, white stock ings and all that sort of thing. The ensemble singing is also good and the best feature of the enter tainment is the finale of the first act, a meledv of national airs and war song3 sung to the waving of. flags and the tread Of soldiers on march at the rear- of the stage. Members- of the G. A. R. posts furnished this detail, and although at the time when the action of the play is supposed to have taken place they were all under twenty, they marched with the old swing and vigor last night and made the first act finale a thriller. "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" will be repeated at the Grand tonight. It is as good an amateur show as has been given in Topeka in the memory of this deponent and the performers deserve a big audience of lovin' friends. A. i J. Eflie Evans Harris. FIXED FOR KILLING A HERO. Yet It Was Only a Dog That Protected Its Master. St. Louis, May 26. Judge Jefferson Pollard, whose parole for drunkards gained him international fame, fined Thomas A. Mannion $50 for killing a fox terrier when it bit Mannion's leg while Mannion and Jack Scott, the dog's owner, were fighting. The court also fined Mannion $100 for discharging a firearm and said: "When you shot that dog you shot a hero. That dog should have a gold medal for what he did. The dog that won't protect its master is not worthy to live. The thing that makes a man protect his wife, mother or sister makes a dog even lay down its life for its master." GAVE HER MONEY BACK. Orange, N. J., Council Would Not Let Goldman Speak, New York, May 26. The activity of the police in watching Emma Goldman recently has resulted In the city coun cil of East Orange, N. J., refusing her permission to speak there.

"In the Great Hereafter social posi tion will not keep us apart," he wrote, "we will then all be equal." The note was signed "John."

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1909. CITY HALL NEWS. Dr. 1), M. Campbell Explains New Milk Ordinance. Dairymen Are Flocking to City Hall With Questions. PETITIONS ARE OUT Mayor Green Sends Papers to Commercial CInb. Other Items of Interest From the City Building. There is more than usual interest connected with the recent milk ordi nance passed by the city council. Dairymen are flocking to the office of the city milk inspector, Dr. D. M. Campbell, asking for information con cerning certain clauses in the ordi nance. It seems that there is a mix up in an attempted explanation of the ordinance and in an interview with a State Journal reporter this morning Dr. Campbell explained the problems in this manner: "So far as the registration of cows 1b concerned, the new milk ordinance which will become effective June 1st, 1909, will be a great convenience to dairymen and to the city clerk. The cows are registered free and may be registered by the owner; or anyone else. It is necessary to fill out an application blank, stating the number and location of the cows. These blanks can be se cured at the city clerk's office, milk inspector's office or at any milk depot. They also may be taken out to the dairyman by the milk haulers and re turned in the same manner, when the license will be Issued to the applicant. The licenses are subject to revocation or clause. A revoked license may or may not be renewed. The manner of securing a license to sell milk and cream is simple and the daily papers have given so much publicity to the new ordinance, that no one can plead ignorance of the requirements as an excuse for not securing a license before the first of next month. I do not con sider it any part of the milk inspector's duties to personally notify dairymen that a license is required. "The same may be said on the parts of the ordinance prohibiting the hand ling of bulk milk in stores, or the use of canned milk on the street. Every one having anything to say regarding this part of the ordinance was given an extended hearing before the committee of the council, and a decision to enact it as it now stands was arrived at only after a careful investigation of all phrases on the subject. The dairymen well know that the opening of cans on the street for the delivery of milk is made unlawful by the new ordinance. They were given ample time to and should have made arrangements to bottle their milk by June 1st. "The sections referring to the sale of milk containing sediment and to the temperature to which milk must be cooled before selling it, have been printed in the papers a number of times, and other parts of the ordinance are not changes from the. requirements of the ordinance now in force. The full text of the ordinance was also pub lished in the State Journal May 12. I do not see how any dairyman can violate a portion of the new ordinance without having full knowledge that he Is doing so." The man with the most troubles in the city of Topeka today is Wil liam Core, the city dog officer. He is meeting with great success ridding the city of undesirable and unlucky dogs but he is also meeting with varied objections on the part of alleged owners these objections are sometimes accompanied with words and sometimes with the aid of the list. Mr. Core came to the State Jour nal office this morning breathless and excited. He said that a new point in the law had caused him the loss of a number of canines. In ex planation and for the information of the people over the city he wanted it known that the law requires all dogs to have a collar with a regulation city metal tag. If the tags are lost they will be duplicated by the city clerk. All dogs found without a tag will be taken to the city pound. Fifty cents a day penalty on dogs at the pound. The dry standpipe at the National hotel was tested by the engine ,and hose companies with Chief Wilmarth from station No. 2 this morning. It" was found to be in excellent shape. Water was thrown from the top of the hotel, six stories in the air, clear across the Elk building into Jackson street. It was a great pres sure and a good exhibition of the equipment at the hotel for fire fight ing purposes. Chief Wilmarth said this morning that he was well pleased with the efficiency of the F the 10,000 families I of Topeka knew how much they could save each month on their supplies by buying at the Owl Grocers, for cash, we would be swamped.

A dry standpipe is a big pipe run ning the entire height of the build ing with connections on every floor and the roof. A steamer 'Is con nected with, it and water forced into the pipes. It can be tapped at any place during a Are. There is also a wet standpipe In the building. This is a pipe constructed on the same plan except the city water is running in it continually. Both were found in good shape this morning. Mayor Green Issued the petitions for the commission form of govern ment in this city and they were taken to the Commercial club rooms this noon. The petitions are capable of accommodating a thousand or so names and are in shape for the sig natures. Mayor Green said (this morning that sentiment in favor of the new plan was increasing every day and he had heard considerable since the. plans of the promoters last evening. The petitions will undoubtedly be used on the streets in a day or so. The Commercial club has to go through a bunch of red tape (similar to the council form before it can take the petitions for use in the rooms. However, this will not keep people from signing the peti tions which are there at any time. There is a new rule: in milk in spection that should receive strict attention from the restaurant men and other dealers over the city. It has been customary for the milk in spector to take a sample of dirty or watered milk and prosecute the man who delivered the milk originally. This will not be done anymore ac cording to a rule issued by Dr. Campbell this morning. Every man who sells milk with dirt or water shall be arrested and prosecuted it does not make any difference whether he purchased it from Jones or Smith. Jones and Smith will' also receive a summons and they will be Included In the rumbling. This Is a drastic measure but it will stop this siege of bad milk. There are now 263 automobiles running on the streets of the city of Topeka. City Clerk Burge issued two licenses today. One to B. Col lins for a Studebaker "30" to travel in front of 263. The other license to Charles H. Assling for a Reo, No. 262. OPTICIANS ON CARPET. They Are Being Examined by Optometry Board Today. the I The first sessions of the state ontometrv board are in nroeress todav. I The board was appointed by Governor' Stubbs under the new law enacted by the legislature last winter, and com-1 nosed of J. H. Mosher of Burlington, H. W. Hunt of Burlingame. and Thom as Gowenlock of Clay Center. The board is in session in the educa tional room of the T. M. C. A. build ing, and every optomerist In the state is required by law to take an exami nation. A diploma is granted to all who successfully pass the examination. All others will have to get out of the business. Three sets of twenty ques tions each are given the opticians. The examination fees range from $3 to $15, and the revenue thus secured pays the expenses of the board. The board will be in session today and tomorrow. The chief feature of the Wednesday afternoon session Tf -the' jjtrfntt was a stereoDtlcon lecture by Dr. S. W. Lane, president of the Southwestern Optical college of Kansas City. It was of great Interest to tnose present, as the physiological phase of the work was taken up and illustrated in detail on the screen. In the evening Dr. Lane explained to a few Interested hearers points of the business. The speakers of the afternoon were Carl J. Ricker of Emporia, on "Sug gestions." and W. J. Lewis, whose sub ject was "Ramblers." Dr. Lane opened the session this morning with an Instructive chalk talk on the fitting of glasses, straightening of cross eyes with lenses without the application of the knife, and general diseases of the eye. The opticians were in session until noon today. At the afternoon meeting the jewelers took charge of affairs, Mayor William Green giving an ad dress of welcome to both the opticians and jewelers. HE ANXOYED inS PARENTS. Alyos Rnpln in County Jail for Dis turbing Peace. Alyos Rupln. the man whq said he was abused at the poor farm last fall, is in the county jail. He is charged with disturbing the peace. For 15 years Rupln has been worth less. He is almost an invalid as the result of using drugs and alcohol to excess, and he is afflicted with palsy which closely resembles paralysis. Dur ing the past ten years he has been a constant menace to his family. They give him money and he. goes away for a while, only to return and demand more. Last year he went to the poor farm. While there he told a pitiful tale of abuse. Since his discharge from the poor farm, he has haunted the home of his parents, who are both old and feeble. Last night he appear ed at their house on lower Van Buren street and threatened their lives. Fear ing an attack, the aged couple locked the door. The son then went to the coal house, broke off the lock, and camped for the night. This morning a complaint was made, and Sheriff Wil kerson took the disturber to the county Jail. Dr. A. Rupin, father of the prisoner, has done everything in his power for the wayward son. The latter repays the kindness by continually annoying his parents, and making threats which keep them in a state of terror. FACTS ABOUT TOPEKA'S MOB. Epidemic of Inquiries About Hang ing of Oliphant. During the past 24 hours. Sheriff Wilkerson has received a number of telephone calls asking for the date of the demise of the late Mr. Oliphant. To stop further inquiries, Wilkerson desires that these data be printed: Oliphant, the burglar who murdered a prominent citizen named Rodgers. committed his crime on the night of June. 3, 1889, 20 years ago next week. He attempted to escape, was captured and placed in the county Jail. On the following night, June 4, 1889, a large moh took him from the county jail and suspended him to a telephone pole at the corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue. The sheriff who attempted to defend prisoner was A. M. Fuller, now of the postoffice. John Gardner, chief of police, was knocked down and se riously injured by the mob as he stood on the jail steps. Oliphant was dead when taken from the pole, and has been dead ever since that time. POLICE JOTTINGS. Wheel Thief Gives Officers a Lively Struggle.. Wm. Barrett Is Finally Oyer powered and Arrested. EATON'S NEW ORDER Will Have Drivers of Liquor Wagons Arrested. Begins Campaign to Enforce New Liquor Law. In a battle with the police last night a wheel thief caught with the goods made a desperate fight to escape and had to be clubbed into submission. The thief was William Barrett several times arrested for forgery and other crimes. The wheel stolen last night belonged to a barber named St. John at 815 Kansas avenue. Upon missing the wheel and suspecting the man, St. John Immediately telephoned the po lice. Chief Eaton and Detective Won derly started in search of him and found him trying to sell the wheel farther down Kansas avenue. Denying that he had stolen the wheel,' he be came mean and threatened to rid the city of a few worthless cops, but went to the station led by Wonderly, the chief taking the wheel. "Good night," was his farewell at the station door and was fleeing down the walk in a zigzag behind trees and scales. The empty handed officer Jerk ed out his gun, yelled "stop" and shot into the air several time, but Barrett naa sped down an alley west. Follow ing as fast as lie could the officer over took his man after a chase of four blocks in the yard of the Catholic school between Jackson and Van Buren streets where Bf.-rett turned at bay and showed fight. Attempting to get the officer's clilb, he gave him several punches in the abdomen and neck, which the irate detective countered by a couple of quick raps on the head with the gun he still held In his hand. The scalp was broken from one of the blows and hlnnri trirlrled rinu m thd man's ear and he got dizzv. lettinsr his hands fall to his sides to be led to the station. The wheel is of sufficient value to 'make a more serious charcre than petit larceny while fighting an officer will further pave his way to the pen n me ponce see to send nim tnere. we is sun in tne jau awaiting trial the city physician having dressed his wound and bandaged his head into a pillow. "Yes, certainly, if you see any of those drivers bring them up. Bring every one you can find. Bring them In and book them for investigation if you have reason to believe they are distributing their booze." said Chief Eaton to a deteotive over the phone this morning. And. that. Indicates a line of police activities for the next few days. Friday noon is the limit set for the sale of liquor at the drug stores when they will be expected to have cleaned Kheir stocks of anyth Peruna. After that, there will be no chance whatever for the thirsty hot summer overheated man supposedly and it Is the purpose of the police to see that no more liquor is delivered to the stores in an effort to aid them in hav ing none on hand. Already the high hand of the new law has swept a number of the drug stores out of existence. The Fifth Ave nue, the Curtis and others have quit, the Chesterfield is ridding itself of fix tures as fast as possible, the Pope Is said by the police to be contemplat ing a cessation of business and wagon loads of "empties" are being hauled away from the Copeland County" store, indicating that the store is getting rid of the liquor at a remarkable rate. And yet the old topera stand about looking wisely while -these' 'things go on and listen undisturbed to the talk about them in an attitude of well-we-know-what-to-do-even-then complacen cy. Mandy Bell, a river side Jane and Chief Cousin to "Mandy Lane," was brought sad-eyed into police control last night following a complaint of Page Hawkins that she had stolen some clothes from him and charged with larceny. Mandy is a pleasant, unruffled little colored Jane and not at all reticent about telling her troubles. Brought into the sanctuary of Judge Urmy this morning she was hailed with delight by the expectant court loafers who have heard her be fore. "Hello, Mandy, thought you had left town, what's up now. They say you stole some clothes." "No, I haint stole no clo's. Them clo's was give me and I's goin'.to keep 'em. Pasre done nan' me them clo's for foolin' with him. then he wanted 'em back an' I told him to jes clean out. They was nothln' anyhow but this old ragged scarf an' a ol" dress.

"Good bye, Mandy" called the gang, in appreciation of the en tertainment, j. The new prosecuting attorney sat In his chair and wondered what to do. Maggie Murphy stood before him and Insisted that there was a warrant out for her and she had obeyed Its sum mons and wanted to be tried for hav ing taken five dollars from her sister, stating that she did not do it and wanted to be acquitted. There was no warrant in the place, not even a com plaint, but Maggie held her ground. She grew almost angry when the poor man tried to tell her there was no war rant. "Why I know there is, didn't somebody tell me so, shut up, don't I know? Now, you see me and my sister worked at the fair grounds and each got $5 Saturday night. I spent mine- all but 75 cents. She savea ners dui last night missed it and said I stole it. Now do you see there Is a warrant out for me and I did not do It." Finally Jim Clark, the poor attorney, persuad ed her to go and explain her case to the policeman down by the river. Although the evidence in the Sheldon thin milk trial showed that he sold milk shy In butter fat, his sentence was suspended because the evidence also showed that he had no knowledge of the fact since he bought his milk from Wm Vesper west of town. This Ves per does not sell his milk In town therefore claims the right to wet It a little with pure water, which the coun ty will Investigate under the pure food Sheldon wa3 thoroughly disheartened at the trial, imagining that he would lose all his customers by a fault of which he did not know. Hence the Plot is of tragic turn. PARENTS FEAR RABIES. Gladys KeUer, Bitten by Bulldog, Rushed to Chicago.

STAND MB IT. Commercial Club May Support City Commission. Leavenworth Men Will Tell of Its Advantages. THEY TALK IT OYER Municipal Legislation Commit tee Discusses the Question. Mayor Green Approves of the Position Taken. The Topeka Commercial club will get behind the plan for a commission form of government and a number of impor tant preparations will be made at the meeting of the Commercial club June 11. At a meeting of the municipal leg islation committee in the private lunch room today the secretary was instruct ed to recommend that the Commercial club support the commission plan and circulate petitions at once for the special election to be held for this pur pose. Albert T. Reld was instructed to ob tain from Leavenworth two speakers on this new form of municipal govern ment and these speakers will be asked to come to Topeka and deliver talks before the Commercial club at their next meeting. This will give the club ample chance to think over the matter seriously and act accordingly when it Is time for the petitions to be circu lated. If the Commercial club decides to stand behind the scheme and there is no chance in the world that they will not the petitions will be redrawn and submitted to the people by the mem bers of the Commercial club. These peti tions if they receive the right number of signers will be sent to the mayor for the purpose of calling a special election and about September 1 the election will be called If everything is favorable. Meanwhile the Commercial club will have a number of prominent speakers come to the city and deliver lectures on the commission at the Auditorium. These talks will be for the people as a whole and will give them a chance to decide upon their vote. If they de cide favorably the election of a mayor and four commissioners will be held In April, 1910. This completes the present plans for the new form of city rule. Every member of the committee today ex pressed the opinion that the whole city was waiting for the new plan and they would receive it with open arms. But the Commercial club does not desire any blind votes to be cast and both sides of the question will be presented directly. Mayor Green was In attendance and he was of the opinion Itiat the course taken by the committee was In the right direction. A committee composed of L. S. Ferry, John Dawsen and Clad Hamil ton was appointed by Chairman J. B. Larimer to confer with City Attorney Ralston on the legality of the peti tions drawn up. .At a meeting of the municipal ad-t-rtis!rig"commlss!on today-Chairman MacLennan appointed three commit tees to do systematic work in the campaign of the commission for the advertising of Topeka. A committee of three was selected to have direct charge of the newspaper advertising. Mr. MacLennan appointed Arthur Capper, N. B. Burge who will co operate with him on this committee. Not only the regular newspaper ad vertising will be selected but the real estate dealers, transfer companies and the like will be conferred with for the purpose of securing the names of visitors to the city and making them at home. The second committee will attend to the billboard advertising. They will have charge of the .planning and erection of billboards at the Topeka railroad stations and at such other places as deemed advisable setting forth thereon advertising concerning Topeka. This committee will also take up the matter of the elimination of all things around Topeka that may be termed as "objectionable advertis ing." The committee will consist of E. H. Crosby, W. W. Webb and F. a. Savage. The third committee will get out the novelty advertising such as the proposed sunflower. They will issue under the direction of the commission all booklets, pamphlets, circulars, etc. and "follow up" literature which may be needed by the commission. They are H. A. Auerbach, H. A. Heath and Charles A. Moore. Topeka is rapidly gaining a reputa tion over the country for her work in the subduing of fake and wildcat ad vertising schemes which die in such short order in this city. Pueblo. Lin coln, Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, MO. all of them are following the example of this city in the annihi lating of fake advertisers. Too much credit can not be given to the commit tee of the Merchants' association under the chairmanship of Mr. J. W. Robin son. In their last meetings they have turned down any umber of advertis ing schemes which were brought to the city with the intention of carrying away a mint of money. A short time ago a man came to To peka ith the intention of getting out a "Topeka the Beautiful" book. The advertising committee mentioned de manded an explanation of his plans. He told them that he wished to get out a booklet, sell advertising space in It and sell it In the city. The committee thought the matter over and laid down these rules to him he was to have all of the photographs taken by a Topeka photographer, the plates were to be made in Topeka, the price per page of advertising was not to exceed J 2 5, the accounts in the proposition were to be audited by the committee and the fakir was not to make over $1,000 in the six weeks' stay. All money over that sum was to De turned over to the Commercial club and the plates and photographs were jtlso to be used in this manner. The grafter gave one sigh and said he expected to make at least 5,000. He grabbed his hat and left the com mittee and the city and also $5,000. This is the way the com mittee does business and this is the kind of action that has attracted the attention of so many other cities over the country. They have sent invitations to the chairman for speeches and they have sent men here to take pointers on the work. O. M. Babcock of Atchison met with the committee today and took notes of the proceedings. He was more than pleased with the work of the Topeka Commercial club and 'the special committee. It has been settled once and for all that the Topeka Rebate associ- Band Concert Tonight New Moving Pictures Special car rates and at the park to public school picnics and Sunday schools.

A matter of considerable importance to the practicing Osteopaths of the state came up at the National hotel roof garden where theKansasOsteopathlc association is holding its eighth annual convention. It was the reading of a bill by Dr. F. M. Godfrey of Holton, a member of the legislative committee, i hich it is proposed to introduce at the 1911 session of the legislature. The bill iwas prepared by Dr. Godfrey and two ether members of the committee, Doc tors Hewitt and Bennison, the object being to provide for the appointment ci" a board of five Osteopaths by the governor, to regulate the profession by conducting examinations, prosecuting quacks, etc "One of our aims in asking for a separate board." said Dr. Godfrey, "is tc prevent magnetic healers, corn doc tors and others from using our name, although it isn't our intention to fight them as a class. "If fakers are allowed to use our name then there will be a tendency to class us together. "In eleven states of the Union at the present time the Ostopaths have their individual laws." Dr. Godfrey read a paper on LaGrippe, and afterwards a discussion followed. The question came up as to whether germs actually cause disease, or whether the germs are not simply pro duced by certain condition of the body. I v. seemed to be the general belief that the presence of the germs, together with a peculiar condition of the system causes disease. A feminine member of the profession was convinced that there is nothing in the germ theory, although she admitted their presence after the disease had become establish ed. Clinics were held by Dr. G.

Washington, May 26. Promptly resum ing the thread of his discussion of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, Mr. Mc Enery, La., in the senate today, dealt with the attitude of the southern states and southern statesmen, toward the policy of protection. He said: "That there is a change of sentiment go ing on in the south in relation to protec tion was shown recently and I hone sen ators from the south who have supported protection on evry maustry in tne state, may extend the vision of their horizon and accord protection m great national interests." McEnery spoke specially of the need of a protective tariff on lumber, which in dustry, he said, employed 35,000 men, pro ducing lumber worth J44,000,000 annually. After pointing out that southern sen ators had voted for a duty on lumber, which produces a revenue of only $iO00,O00 annually, Mr. McEnery called attention to the vastly greater income produced by sugar which yields a revenue of $60,000,000. i want to appeal to southern senators," he declared in ringing tones, "to abandon their absurd ideas of a tariff- for revenue only and vote to support the industries of the United States. Thomas Jefferson said there should be a duty on the necessi ties ot lite, because tms government should not be forced to depend on any foreign country for its necessaries. 1 do not base my plea for a dutv on sugar for the great revenue it brings. I put it on a nigner plane, wmeh Is the necessity for the country to become inde pendent of any foreign government for things it requires. Break down the tariff on sugar and this country will be run over with sugar from Europe, both refined and granulated,, and it will stop every beet factory in the country and stop the culture of cane in the state of Louisiana." It the sugar trust, he said, had violated the law the guilty men should be nut in the penitentiary. But why crucify the people to hrlnir down vengeance on the sugar trust?" he, asked.

Last night at 11 o'clock John W. Ferree, a plas terer and farmer living at Garland, south of here, was instantly killed by being struck by U Frisco freight train. At dawn his body was found by Andy Long and father, who had started to drive to this city. Mr. Ferree was 50 years of age and had lived at Garland for nearly 30 years. He is survived by a wife, two married and three single children. Mr. Ferree spent the day in Mulberry and came home on the 10 o'clock train. The train pulled out, and Ferree, car rying an umbrella, is supposed to have wandered down the track trying to find his way home. He- lives two miles north of Garland. In his meanderings he probably never knew of the approach of a train. At 11 o'clock a train came along and this is the one that killed Ferree. He was not seen by the engine crew, at least no report was made by the crew of any such accident. The man's body was frightfully mangled by the acci dent. His leg was broken, as was his right arm. His face and head were mashed to a pulp. John W. Ferree was a brother of Mrs. L. A. Ernlch of 116 East Eighth ave nue, whose husband has been an em ploye of the Topeka, State Journal for many years.

Prof. Ben jamin Hoke of Purdue university, who was accidentally sirucs: Dy a. nammer here la.9t Saturday, while officiating in the state high school meet, died today. The cry has been raised to "swat the fly." But instead of waiting until he walks into your parlor and your kitch ens to be swatted a better way is to put up- screens and keep them closed so that Mr. Fly and Mrs. Fly and the whole Fly family ean not get in. The public has learned that the ordi nary house fly is the great propagator of disease. He- can pick up some germs out in the street bring thme to the dining table or the cook's dishes, and do more damage to health than a Turkish mob. Once let the fly into the house and the chances are greatly in his favor. But keep him out of doors and the ozone of Kansas zephyrs will cleanse him thoroughly and perhaps transport him to another world or to Oklahoma. It Is better to put up the screens promptly and In such a way that they will stay put. than to buy a lot of medi cine and send for a doctor. Put no trust in theory that the fly is only a little fellow and can't do much harm. He is a common carrier of bacilli an4 a communicator of contagion. Hutch inson News.

James A. Sharp, known as "Adam God" on trial for murder for his part in the fatal religious riot here last winter, furnished a sensation in the criminal court when he arose in his place at the prisoner's bench and accused a minister of having entered his cell and abused him. "Your-honor,' declared Sharp, ad-' dressing Judge Latshaw, "I want to have a man arrested for coming into my cell and abusing me." The judge gave respectful hearing to the prisoner although he had be come accustomed to Sharp's out breaks, and the latter continued: "This minister called me a liar and a hypocrite and abused me although I was not talking to him." "Who was he?" the judge asked. "There he sits," declared Sharp dramatically, pointing to the Rev. Job Lyon, an evangelist who frequent ly preaches to the prisoners, and who happens to be a witness for the state In the present case. A consultation between judge, attorneys and the prisoner ensued.. It showed that there-was little basis for Sharp's charges and Judge Lathsaw finally said "You will be given every protec-' tion of the, law, Mr. Sharp. You are entitled to a fair trial, a fair chance and I will see that you get it."- "I know that, judge," replied Sharp. "You are my friend, and I am counting on you. This is the house of God, and all I want Is jus tice." With that the prisoner resumed his seat and the taking of testimony was begun again. f FOR FASTER BASEBALL. Ban Johnson Experimenting With Ball ;of the Delehanty Period. Chicago, .May 26. President B. B. Johnson of the American league has devised a scheme whereby the national -game wlli be made faster. He has ob tained a baseball which is springier and faster than the one now used and will distribute it to the various clubs In his league. The teams will try out the ball in their practice and If it is found satisfactory it will be used in all championship games. The ball is much the same as that employed when Delehanty the first used to whack out ten or twelve home runs during a game. In those times such a brief hit as a double was scorn ed. It had to be a triple or a homer, nothing else went. If the ball stands the test the patrons of the America.! league will see an Increase in batting.

Both in the de partments and in congress a valiant effort In the direction. of economy In government expenditures 'IsTTJelngr made. President Taft started the ball rolling ty directing the department chiefs to make a personal cut dn their estimates for the coming year, and has been fol lowed by steps taken in congress with the same end in view. It always has been the habit for the heads of departments to make esti mates considerably in excess of the amounts they expected to receive in the way of appropriations, and it has been equally the habit of congress to cut down those estimates, no matter whether they were good, bad or indif ferent. Now President Taft has directed the department chiefs to cut out of their es-timates enough money to wipe.: out the deficit. If congress follows: its: us ual custom these estimates again will be cut down when the appropriations are made next year, and the result will be a comfortable .balance on the right side of the ledger 'with which Secretary MacVeagh will have to deal after the next fiscal year. Congress already has made the appropriations for the year beginning on July 1, so that the spirit of economy can not have effect for a considerable time to come. In previous years the custom has been for each chairman of an important committee to secure every dollar from the public treasury which the senate could be induced to vote. There was a. rivalry between the different com mittees and each endeavored to have large appropriations. The result was that the committees which were first Iheard in the senate fared" the -best. Some of the most Important bills al iways were delayed until toward the end of the session, the result being that they were deprived of the appro priations because of the extravagance earlier. The intention now, for the first time in a generation or two. is to have con certed action, not only among the dif ferent committees but among the gov ernment departments as well. It is Relieved that in this way, without crip pling the operations of the government in any Important degree, the expendi tures can be cut down and the deficit extinguished irrespective of what the new tariff bill may do to the revenue. PARDOX FOR A DYING MIXER. Governor Stubbs Touched by Death bed Plea of. John Hay. Pittsburg, Kan., May 26. John Hay, who was fearfully crushed by a cage in mine No. 12 of the Cherokee Pittsburg Coal company at Frontenac, was granted by long dis tance telephone, a complete pardon by Governor W. R. Stubbs, for an old crime of which he had been con victed. Hay was so badly injured that the surgeons expressed the be lief that he would die. "But I can't die this way," he de clared piteously. "I can't die a con vict. I've never been pardoned for that affair. I must have a pardon before I die." The pitiful plea so affected his friends that they decided to take the matter up with Governor Stubbs at once by telephone. Governor Stubbs' private secretary, John Dawson, im mediately hunted up the governor, and as soon as the matter was laid before him Governor Stubbs tele phoned back the reply that the par don was granted.

RAIN STOPS TRAFFIC. Autos and Wagon Trains Stalled in Georgia Strike District. Atlanta, Ga., May 26. New facts bearing on the race issue involved in the strike of firemen on the Georgia railway came to light today. From in vestigation along the right of way of the railroad' it was learned that most of the reported instances of throwing stones at trains were pure fabrication. The danger from such missiles thrown with malicious intent was one of the reasons given why the engineers re fused to take out their trains thereby tying up the entire system. Eye wit nesses at the stopping places of the railway during the first days of the strike say that instead of stone throw ing crowds of men from rural districts gathered around the engines, many of them personal friends of the engineers and pleaded with them not to force a race issue by continuing to run trains on which white firemen had been re placed by negroes. The engineers were given to under stand that it might be dangerous to continue such runs. It is learned authoritatively that the strikers are willing to take out engines drawing the mails if requested to do so. They have reserved the right, how ever, to say whether they will carry passengers at the same time. Another heavy blow was dealt today to transportation in the territory where railway service has ceased for nearly four days by the advent of heavy rains, which stalled many of the automobiles and the long wagon trains which had been transporting food and other necessities.

QUICKSILVER IN KANSAS. Barton County a Rival for Trego's Gold Shale Fame. EHiwood, Kan., May 26. Robert Leith, a well -driller, has samples of what is believed to be quicksilver. Several ounces of the substance were found by Leith while he was drilling a. well on the. farm of Jacob Thul, three miles north of here. The sup posed quicksilver was found at a depth i i?5 feet rt was brought up in the slusher and was easily separated from the muddy water. Gottlieb Ernsting of Ellinwood, who has had some experience with mines and metals, examined the samples and says that they are practically pure quicksilver. "If the report that mercury or quicksilver has been found in Barton county is correct it is of great impor tance, said Erasmus Haworth, profes sor of geology at the University of Kansas, when told of the report from Ellinwood. '.'The only quicksilver now produced in America is mined in Cali fornia and very little of the metal is to be found there. Nearly all tne world's supply of quicksilver comes from Rus sia and Spain, and the supply al ways has been limited. It is found usually in ore, in the form of sulphide of mercury. It also is found in a beautiful red ore known as cynabar, which contains a combination of sul phur and mercury, "Mercury is worth a dollar a pound or more now and it doesn't take a very big volume of it to make a pound, as it is very heavy. I am eager to hear more about the samples found in Bar ton county, for if there is any mercury there the owners of the land have a bigger bonanza even than their present wheat fields."

WHEAT Because there was natural reaction in the wheat market yesterday following almost continuous advance for a week the bears picked up courage again and did a little short selling. Many believers In Wheat sold out lines on the lata re actions as a matter of safety. The fact that the trade Is going through the closing days of May with a little un certainty as to the outcome for the current month, creates some nervous ness. There is no let down in cash wheat prices anywhere. Shipping sales here were 90,000 bushels yesterday and Lake charter was made to take out 100,000 bushels. Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are getting practically no wheat. The mills own the stocks north west and are after the spot wheat at 4 cents premium over July. The win ter wheat crop will be short enough to justify high prices in this country for a year to come and as the worst de pletion of old supplies is yet to come, and the new spring crop is yet to be made, we believe there is safety and profit in buying the discounted months on all good dips. CORN It looks as if some of the largest houses in the corn trade had not only covered but taken the bull side of the market, forcing much covering on the part' of others. There will be no relief from the present acute cash sit uation until the May contracts expire at the end of this week. There is much bull talk for the later months on the theory that the country offerings have already fallen off and that the big movement will not continue. There is positive bear opinion expressed that a continuation of large receipts which will give Chicago adequate stocks, will bring about heavy and general selling of all the months on this or any fur ther advance. Logan Bryan. Chicago, May 26. WHEAT Opera tors who sold out on the bulge yester day were advlsine- the replacing of their lines on any further setback to day and some said that they had atken back part of their line on the decline at the close. They figure that a reaction of 1 cent is a good break and that the market is to be a bullish affair until Friday when profit taking will be the proper thing on the bulges that come up to that time. It is said that the short interest in wheat was run in on he bulge and that some of the pit pro fessionals had resold when they saw prices turn downward. Traders among the big professionals after the close said that very few of them had large lines of stuff out because of the severe punishment received of late. CORN A number of receivers say that their advices from Illinois are that the corn movement from farmers is practically over for the time being, that by the middle of next week there will be a smaller lot of receipts again. Several of the largest receiving houses say that corn on the Rock Island, Bur lington, Northwestern, St. Paul and Western will come to Chicago in lib eral volume for the next ten days, as it can. Inter-Ocean. Liverpool, May 26. WHEAT Market d lower. Later there was selling pressure on the late break in America yesterday which led traders here to discredit the bullish reports from Kan sas, values further declined d to d. Further rains reported in Russia and Roumania where drought has prevailed and light rains reported in Germany and France. Near cargoes were in poor demand at 3 pence decline and general ly offerings were more liberal. CORN Market quiet, lower on larger La. Flatta offerings. BroomhalL Chicago. May 26.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL-WEDNESDAY EVENING MAY 26, 1909 9 NORTH SIDE NEWS Quincy School Teachers Take Three Mile "Hike." From Quincy School to 1031 South Garfield Street. oil BODY AND MIND Enjoy Sights Along the Way and Note Them. Other Happenings in the First Ward. Tramp, tramp, tramp, schoolma'ms are marching. The school teacnery the Quincy school, a dozen strong, led by the principal, Prof. E. F. Stanley, took a "hike" a three mile hike after school this evening from the Quincy school at Quincy and Fairchild streets to the home of Prof. Stanley at 1031 South Garfield street. The start was made about 4:30 p. m. The route was chosen with great care, both for convenience and for aesthetic reasons. The line of march was from the Quincy school, south to the Union Pacific tracks, thence across the famous Melan bridge, on south to the Rock Island tracks, thence west on Second street to Western avenue, from there south to Sixth street and then west to Garfield street and south until Prof. Stanleys home is reached. Here a feast of reason and the wine of friendship and other nice refreshments were served by Prof, and Mrs. Stanley. No stops were made for refresh ments en route. In fact no halts for rests were allowed, although permis sion was given for the teachers to raise both feet from the ground and remain thus for a moment or two. However, the privilege was not taken by any of v The trio was for the benefit of both Dody ana mina. it a m of a relaxation from the worries TVn, waa rPt H n ff- alonK well In arithmetic or how on earth to teach Susie to spell correctly and the other things of school teaching which makes that life so fascinating. However, the educational value or the march was not neglected. The teachers observed the names of the streets which are called after the presidents in order of their adminis tion and stored these names in their memories against examinations. Then the many beautiful residences and dresses passed en route were duly and truly noticed as well as many other object lesson in civic pride. Speaking seriously. Prof. Stanley said this morning regarding the pro posed trip: "The teachers have been taking lit tle walks after school for several even ings and I proposed that they all walk out to my house this evening. Nearly all of them were in favor of the plan." The teachers of the Quincy school who took the hike are: E. F. Stanley, principal; Miss Minnie McCall, assist ant principal; Miss Bertie Brown, grade 7; Miss Myrtle Kelley, grade 6; Miss Laura Beverley, grade 5; Miss Olive Webb, grade 4; Miss Ruth Bar rett, grade 4; Miss Mabel Hiel, grade 3; Miss Elizabeth Woodburn, grade 3; Miss Grace Root and Miss Maude Sproat, grade 1. Saline Countv, Kansas. May 20, 1909. Dear North Topeka People and Edi tor State Journal: This evening finds me at the home of one of the well-to-do farmers. Like many of the other men of this county my host has become wealthy by rais ing wheat. I see evidences of this prosperity all over the place. The house is two story, frame building and shows considerable architectural taste. It is fitted up with many mod ern conveniences. Water for both farm and domestic use is supplied by a small stand pipe which Is filled by a windmill pump. The man of the place is also think ing of installing an electric dynamo and motor to furnish light and power. At present the house has a phone, as Is the case of nearly all of the farm houses in this county. As I write I hear the farmer's light haired, blue eyed daughter playing classical music on the piano. When she gets tired of playing the old man will set a first class graphophone to going or may take her over to Salina In his automobile. This Is something of a sketch of prosperity, but the farmers here have come by It honestly. Most of them came in the early days when land was very cheap, settled and lived through the grasshopper season and subse quent hard times. Those who had he grit to stay became fairly pros perous after the years of good wheat crops came. Truly wheat not cotton la king here. In the harvest time the country Is ewarmed with harvest hands, many of whom are transient hobos. Others are young men from eastern col leges who come out to see Kansas and buffaloes and go back full of aston ishment, and sunburns and aching limbs from the toil in the hot sun. I understand that at harvest the far mers get up at daylight and work in the fields until it is too dark to see. Of course a day's delay costs many dollars. However, when it is all said and done, wealth does not always bring complete happiness. This afternoon I was canvassing a mother in one of the homes like the one in which I am stopping tonight. As I was talking and showing views, her girl entered the room. I did not notice the child closely, but upon showing the woman a picture of a large dog and child, I suggested that such a view would please her own girl. The mother shook her head quickly and choked back a sob. Just then the little girl came close to me and turned up her ace to mine. Through a bay window, tilled with plants and beautirul flow ers, the sunlight fell full upon the lit tle one's face. Then I understood the cause of the mother's grief. Her daughter was stone blind. I felt very embarrassed and sorry but tried to pass the incident by with out remark. y. I am getting so the glimpses of the little tragedies of everyday life do not ft affect me so very much any more. I have come to the conclusion that ev eryone has his trouble's, and that each Is inclined to think that his troubles are worse than those of anyone else. So. I do not take things very" seriously! Not so these Swedes: The story "is told that one of the reporters for a Salina paper approached a Swedish woman at the depot and asked her where she was going, etc., after the method of Salina journalism. The woman replied, in a solemn voice, "My hoosban hae will tell you all a?out It." The reporter thought from the somberness of her tone that soma AND MISCELLANEOUS ADS. RFAL FSTATK TRANSFERS. T. H.

As a "feeler" the reporter asked the man If any accidents had happened In his neighborhood late ly. The reply was, "No, only my son Yohnny, he have cut trae tathe yoost lately." However, by no means do I make light of the Swedes. They are for the most part, honest. Industrious and thrifty. May their race prosper. C. M. R.
