INTERESTING LOCAL NEWS EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK AS DEPICTED BY THE SUNDAY. MONDAY. TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY. Preparations are made for the fitting celebration of BAT OUTVICTORY. Topeka Finally Defeats the Den Ter Grizzlies. Contest Was Bagged and the Umpiring Unsatisfactory. COOLEY IS INJURED Sprains His Ankle and He Will Play No More. Wichita and Omaha Both Win Their Games. Denver, Col., June B. The Topeka team tied the score in the ninth In ning of Friday's game and won out In the tenth when Geier singled, driv ing in the winning runs. Umpire Wheeler has been very bad duringthe eerles here and his work was worse than ever. It was a hard earned victory for To peka, especially as Manager Dick Coo ley injured himself and will probably foe out of the game for the remainder of the season. In the fifth Cooley had singled and stole second. Then he trici for third and sliding twisted his an kle. He was removed from the grounds in a taxicab and was placed under the care of a surgeon. The fifth inning was a great one. Topeka piled up five runs and Denver four. Kaufmann started the inning with a single, and Wooley followed suit. Geier and Kunkel walked and Kaufmann was forced home. This' was enough to drive Glllen from the box, end Bohannon was substituted. Fen- Ion hit to the Infield, forcingwooley at the plate. Cooley then hit, and both Geier and Kunkel scored. Cooley stole second. Kahl tacriflced to the out tield and Fenlon scored. Cooley tried for third and made it, but in sliding turned his ankle. Thomason took his place and scored when Stankard muff ed Downey's hot liner. Kern flew out to Hartman, ending the inning. In the last half of the fifth with Coo ley awaiting a cab and sitting on the Topeka bench with great pains in his ankle, and Mrs. Cooley in the grand eland weeping over Dick's accident, (Wheeler gave his worst exhibition. Hallman slid to first on an infield grounder and when he got his feet was etandlng some distance from the base. Wheeler called him out but changed his decision after the Denver players protested. The orderly game gave way to a chaotic exhibition in which every iplayer threatened to take a hand. iWheeler, however, was not feazed. The tying run came In the ninth in ning. Kunkel led off with a. single and reached second on Fenlon's sacrifice, end scored on Kahl's scorching sin gle. The Topeka team batted out two runs in the tenth. Downey walked and Kerne sacrificed. Kaufmann .singled ibut Downey was caught at the plate. iWooley got to first on an error and etole second: Kaufmann in the mean time reaching third. Geier singled to right center and Kaufmann and Wool ey scored, winning the game. The ecore; DENVER. Players AB. R. II. PO. A.

Des Moines, la., June 5. At a meeting of the executive board of the Missouri valley conference here yes terday the training table was re established as a result of a flaw in the procedure Of abolishing it last spring. In order to act upon this point at the November session the training table had first to be reinstated. Summer baseball was Instituted at the conference and it will receive ev ery encouragement. President W. D. Moorehouse pre sided at the session. Walter P. Linginger of Milwaukee was chosen referee in the Missouri valley conference track and field meet at Drake university tomorrow. The following universities and colleges have sent teams to participate in the meet: Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Washington, Ames, Drake. Grinnell, South Dakota and Nebraska Wesley an. Turner, Grinnell's crack sprinter, is ill and for that reason Kansas or Nebraska will probably win the meet. Iowa has entered its- team at the "big eight" meet in Chicago. Last year's records were abolished and every mark made tomorrow will be the conference record. YOUNG CORBET! WON. Secured Decision Over Sammy Smith by His Cleverness. Philadelphia, Pa., June 5.

THE FIELDING IS POOR Both Records Fall Below Those of Last Year. Expected to Do Better on the Home Ground. The batting averages of the Topeka team for the season Inclusive of the game of June 3, are low, as are also the fielding averages. The team has a batting average of .226 and a fielding average of .941. The trip has un doubtedly played havoc with the aver ages, especially the fielding averages. Many of the Western league teams play on grass and sod diamonds which are not familiar to many of the Topeka players. Balls behave differently on grass than on Mother Earth, and a slight falling off in the fielding aver ages has been the inevitable result, and can be overlooked. Long rides, the difference in the atmosphere and other causes contribute to slumps in batting averages, so that the falling off in both departments can be overlooked tem porarily. At the conclusion of the long home series commencing next Wednesday there should be another story to tell. The batting average of the team now Is below that. of any of the Western league teams of last season. Lincoln was the poorest hitting team in the league with an average opf .230. In the Western association there were four teams that had averages near those of the Topeka team at present, which are as follows: Hutchinson, .226; Joplin, .225; Oklahoma City, .219 and Enid, .216. The fielding averages are somewhat low in comparison with other seasons. Last season Pueblo fielded .944, while Denver dropped to the .940 mark. In the Western association the two tail end teams in fielding were Enid and Springfield. Enid compiled an average of .948 while Springfield fielded .937. The batting honors go to Fenlon, who is really the only. 300 hitter on the team. Fenlon who started the season on the bench has kept up a good gait all season and when the team returns home he will undoubtedly fatten up his average still more. In the run getting department, To peka has showed up in favorable com parison with the other records. In 29 games the team scored 108 runs which is an average of 3.72 runs for each game. Fenlon has been the most con sistent run getter although Geier, Kahl, Wooley and Andrews have done good work in this department. Geier has secured the most hits, and is followed in order by Fenlon, Wooley, Andrews and Kahl. In fielding Kaufmann has the highest honors, although Fenlon is the real leader. The outfield has done well and the infield has made the largest pro portion of errors. Andrews leads with 12. Infielders have more and harder chances and their averages are always down below those of an outfielder. The State Journal will print the offi cial averages of the team every Satur day afternoon. The averages of the season exclusive of yesterday's game, Including those of every player who has participated in a championship game, are as follows: Batting Averages. AB. R.

FIGHTERS RETURN HOME. Both Jennette and Lewis Were Treated Well Abroad. New York, June 5 Joe Jennette, the negro heavyweight and Willie Lewis, the New York middleweight, STATE JOURNAL CARTOONIST FRIDAY. SATTTPn av The last day of the city schools until September. reached here last night from Europe. Jennette said his treatment in Paris was in every way fair. Lewie scored repeated successes in the prize ring. WHERE THEY PLAT TOMORROW Topeka at Wichita. Pueblo at Denver. Lincoln at Omaha. Des Moines at Sioux City. Tomorrow's Toneka-Wichita erame will be given by wire out at the ball park, starting 3 p. m. This game with our old rivals will probably be one of the most interesting of the season to follow every play by wire. Topeka is not the only city to re ceive bum telegraphic reports of games. In one of the Wichita-Pueblo games at Pueblo, the telegraph company reported ot the Beacon of fice that Pueblo had made 8 runs in one Inning, when it should have been none. Erloff, a former Springfield catch er, who was drafted by Columbus is back with Joplin. Erloff was left at home on one of the Columbus trips and in playing a semi-professional game he got hit in the head. Jay Andrews made good In his first game at Oklahoma City. The big doc tor confined his labors to coaching, but Oklahoma City won over Galves ton by a score of 9 to 2. The Sioux City Tribune says that Jude of the Lincoln team is not the hitting kid that he was a year ago. That paper thinks the pitchers are wise to him. Jude didn't get a hit in any of the games he has played in Topeka. Howard Price who managed the Guthrie team this spring has been de posed and W. J. Cooley, a third base man of the Wheeling, W. Va., team in the Central league has taken his place. Cy Landreth's great faith in human honesty is likely to cost him his Job. In a recent game between Louisville and Columbus on the grounds of the latter the bases were filled with one out. Cy was on first and the second out was made on a play at the plate. This forced Cy to second. The oppos ing shortstop told Cyrus there were three outs and Cy taking him at his word started a leisurely stroll ror tne bench. It didn't take the shortstop long to. apply the ball to him. The score was tied at the time and Louis ville stood a good chance of winning. Cy's trick cost them the game. The Denver Republican says that Burnum in the first game hit four batters and each was a solid plunk that evidently hurt the recipient. Denver has a new third baseman by the name of Cooney. He is a young ster who comes to Denver highly rec ommended. Eddie ZInran, the catcher who was secured from Lincoln by Denver in exchange for Irving Waldron, has been released. Eddie wasn't in con dition to play and had not shown any iorm all season. This leaves Zalusky and Hallman as the regular catch era. Des Moines Tribune: The fans of the Western league will be greatly dis pleased to learn that Dr. Jay An drews, the big third baseman has been sold by the Topeka team, and will manage the Oklahoma City team in another league. We believe that the Topeka management made a serious mistake from a money end if not from a playing when the big fellow was sold. E. W. Dickerson in the Denver News: After seeing them all, the Wichita team looks as good as any in the league to me. I look for the Izzies to fight it out with Omaha for first place.

Bill Mahin of Smith Cente. na shown up at Beloit for a tryout. Bill is one of the best players in Smith county and should make Ebright a good man. Bacon who is playing shortstop for Hutchinson since Brownlow was re leased is making a great hit with the Hutchinson sport writers. He came from Indianapolis. Beloit has secured Gundlack. first baseman of the Missouri University team for three years. He is said to oe a gun Dotn at bat and on the bag. The Twin City fans are pleased with the new pitcher, McGrath. In his first game he was wild and was hit hard, but In the pinches he was unhittable. This is what the Kansas state papers term knowing how to pitch. Bill Howey of the Twin City team has evidently forsaken the box, for he Is holding down a regular Job in the outfield, although he isn't hit ting much. Bill never was much of a hitter, but he was one of the swellest fielders that ever worked here. Beloit's team Is reporting fast. So far Outfielder Mahin of Smith Center, Pitcher Green of Liberty, Mo., Pitch ers Culver and Leach. First Baseman Gundlack, and Manager Ebroight have reported. Hutchinson News: While stopping in Hutchinson on his way from Pueb lo to Oklahoma City. Dr. Jay had a word in regard to his team up at Lyons. "I guess my kids aren't the candy," he said, "I told them I was giving them a good team and it is proving to be such. The old mayor (meaning Bankhead) has them go ing good and he ought to carry off the pennant if he doesn't meet with hard luck." Doc reads the papers closely every day" and is keeping his eye on the Kansas State League. His home is still In Hutchinson and his friends here wish him the best of luck. Great Bend Tribune: LaFlambeau, the little Indian boy, who plays cen ter field for Arkansas City, is about the heaviest sticker the Grays have got. Down at Arkansas City it is cus tomary to credit him with a usual daily home run. H. H. House, Sallna Wesleyan pitcher, has been signed by the Sa lina Leaguers. Ben Grant, formerly a Great Bend player, has left for his home in Clar inda, la., after having been released by Manager Depew. Harry Leganaur of the McPherson team was married last Monday but this important event did not keep him out of the game. He went rljrht from the ceremony to the ball field and was on the players' bench all during the game. Surely Great Bend fans cannot complain of his loyalty to the game. The Salina fans are Jubilant over the appearance of Arthur Fury the Fury-ous pitcher of the team. Sallna fans remember Fury because he got a hit off Hagerman In an exhibition game last fall. The games start In Salina at six o'clock. This gives the bankers and chore boys an opportunity to attend the games. Quigley has reported at SaHna. Un til school is out he will probably di vide his time between St. Marys and the Sallna team. Emery Clark. Great Bend's new pitcher Is getting into he Jm good shape. His arm is said to be a wonder. Gramleys Clay Center team yon the first game, a game against a pick ed team. Forsberg. one of "Pap's" pitchers pitched a swell game, allow ing but six scattered hits. Baseball Phone.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURHAI SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 6, 1909. s POLITICAUJOSSIP bJLntl-Red Headed League Being Formed in Clay County. frian Is to Encompass the De feat of Governor Stubbs. UFTER DR. CRU3IBINE 'Trait Dealers Object to His Quart Measure Order. Eut He Will Continue tp En force It Just the Same. Kansas, always springing something new, now has an "Anti-Red Headed League." This is riot the official name of the new organization, but It means the same thing. The new league Is to be called the "Anti-Stubbs League," and it is to be recruited from every county In the state according to pres ent plans and specifications. The idea of the promoters is to defeat Stubbs for the nomination in the Republican primary next summer, and failing in that, try It again at the polls. The plan originated in Clay county land was promulgated by a couple of t-x-offlce holders out of a job since last ,'iwlnter, and a score of their friends, i The details of this anarchist uprising re blood-curdling. The Instigators should be prosecuted under the assault and battery clause of the state consti tution. They propose to recruit 20 tnen from each county in the state, these bands to each form a nucleus or the different leagues. Every offlce eeeker out of a Job will hold a high office in this new league. It is ex pected, by the time the campaign gets under way, that recruits will flock to the county leagues like the fans to Rooters' Row when there Is a double header ball game on the cards between the leading teams in the league. Dr. Crumblne, of the state board of (health, is being dragged over the coals these days by fruit dealers and ship pers on account of the recent order of the board compelling them to either put up berries in full quart boxes or iabel the boxes showing the exact amount of their contents. The board will enforce this regulation to the let ter. It has been the state law now for a week and next week the inspec-1 tors wm get Dusy on tne jod. xne dealers may feel that they are being badly treated in this matter, but how about the long suffering public? The consumer buys a quart of berries and pays for a quart. He used to get a quart for his money in the old days before the ingenuity of the shipper evolved a box with the bottom geared half way up to the top. The consumer has been getting the worst of it for lo these many years, where is the hard ship in the dealer giving a quart for a quart? There may be some people who will desert Dr. Crumblne when the latter goes chasing around after germs and bacilli in water, food and the air, but the whole push will stand byihim on this latest decree and if he makes it stick will likely send him to the senate and relegate both Curtis and Stubbs to the second fight where they will belong after that feat. The Republican papers of the Sixth district, and among them papers fav orable to Congressman Reeder in the past, are asking the question, "Will Reeder run again?" There seems to be a consensus of opinion among these papers that Reeder has borne his blushing honors long enough and should retire- gracefully. Still, these papers admit that if Reeder enters the race he will be a mighty hard man to beat. J. B. Dykes of Smith county is being boosted as the strongest oppo nent for the Sixth district congress man. Otis L. Benton of Oberlin had busi ness in Topeka this week. It might be as well to mention at this time that Mr. Benton is still a candidate for con- gress in the Sixth district. Ralph Faxon, in his Garden City Telegram; is still taking shots at the State Journal's political reporter. When this paper makes mention in its news columns of the coming and going of J. N. Dolley the state .bank commission er, then that is the flutter of the red rag for the Telegram. Unfortunately Mr. Dolley takes a hand in lots of things connected with public affairs these days, so the Telegram keeps busy. Ralph's latest is a hand-painted masterpiece describing Dolley in his inner sanctum glying out an interview. Ralph made one mistake, however, in the mixing of his colors. At least it would pass for a mistake among peo ple who believe in omens. He referred to Dolley as "Salvator." Now Salvator, it will be remembered, was the cham pion race horse of the world several years ago. Faxon hag unwittingly named Dolley after a winner and he can only blame himself if his metaphor works out along the line of the dope 6heet. Governor Stubbs was quoted some weeks ago by the newspapers as fol lows: "I propose to see that every employe of the state does a dollar's worth of work for every dollar he re ceives." This sounded awfully good, and the governor has been carrying out his reforms, no doubt. He has probably not looked over the peniten tiary report yet so it is premature to state that the employes of that institu tion have eiher been greatly overwork ed in the past or they are doing little or nothing now. It's like this: Last winter, following the Kate Bernard row, the state of Oklahoma removed something like 460 or 600 of her prison ers from the Kansas penitentiary. Now this number comprised about two-fifths of the occupants of that institution at that time. This exodus of prisoners should make the toil of the guards and flunkies and overseers and cooks and valets on the pay roll of the Lansing dungeon much lighter, for the number of these worthy servants of the state remains now Just the same as it was then. T. B. Brown, foreman of the state printing plant, has announced himself as a candidate for state printer. Mr. Brown is competent, although he has not been active in politics heretofore. Albert T. Reld of this city who made the race for state printer last year against Tom McNeal, has been spoken of for the place a year hence, but has rot yet decided to enter the race. And there are others. V.

BOY KILLED BY UGHTNTXG. Unusual Freak of an Electric Storm -Near Olatbe. Olathe, Kan:, June 5. When the storm arose Wednesday afternoon, E. Holllster, living near Mastin, In the eastern part of this county, started home from his work. His 10-year-old boy, Lennle, was on one horse and his two girls on another and the fath er on foot. The father, In Order to keep up with the children took hold of the tail of one of the horses, all hurrying home. While nearing home a stroke of lightning killed the boy and the horse he was riding; also the horse the two girls were riding. Mr. Holllster was knocked to the ground, unconscious, the two girls escaping without Injury. TRADE STILL HALTS. Influenced by Uncertainty of Tariff and the Crops. New York, June 5. Bradstreet's says: All in all, the business situation; pre sents many favorable features, but there is still an underlying feeling of conservatism and, while less is heard of the influence of tariff changes on future trade, there is still apparent a disposition to await the outcome of present legislative action and a clearer view as to possible crop yields. Among the leading industries the ac tivity in iron and steel is still a sub ject of interest and business in finished lines is claimed to have surpassed the like month of any previous year, and to have been superior in tonnage placed to any month for two years past. Leather prices are strong, reflecting the strength of hides. There is rather more unrest visible in labor circles. Street car strikes have affected some lines of trade at Phila delphia and the tleup of lake commerce1 Is not loosened. Building material is active at many points where construc tion is being pushed and the lowering of cement prices has brought out much business. Business failures In the United States for the week ending with June 3 were 191 against 205 last week, 225 in the like week of 1908, 155 in 1907, 162 in 1908 and 194 in 1905. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending June 3 aggregate 2.128,199 bushels against 3,182,809 last week and 3.366,204 this week last year. For the 49 weeks ending June 3, this year's ex ports are 163,011,322 bushels against 192,250,720 in the corresponding period last year. Corn exports for the week are 36,193 bushels against 88,622 last week and 285,533 for 1908. For the 49 weeks ending June 3, corn exports are 26,976,391 bushels against 49,057,424 last year. Bank Clearings. Bradstreet's bank clearings report for the week ending June 3 shows an aggre gate of $2,674,106,000 as against $2,789,787,000 last week and $2,430,194,000 in the corre sponding week last year.

Attorney Grattan Asks Board to Re scind Commodity Schedule. In filing a motion before the board to set aside its order made a year ago to reduce freight rates. Attorney G. F. Grattan gave the following reasons for the action of the state in this important matter to Kansas shippers and buyers: "First That the United States cir cuit court has Indicated that the estab lishment of the Jobbers' rates provided for in said order are without the Juris diction of the board to promulgate and cannot be Justified when attacked by the carriers as they have been in vari ous injunction suits brought in said court to enjoin the putting into effect all of the rates fixed in said order. It is believed that the establishment of the class and commodity rates pro vided In said order without being able at the same time to enforce the Jobbers' and differential rates Included in said schedule would not be for the best in terests of the state at large and would be especially injurious to the commer cial interests of the state. "Second After the decision of the court had been made affecting the Job bers' rate, the board, with the informa tion it then had as to the effect that would follow the enforcement of the other rates, thought it best to lay the matter before the legislature at its re cent session and prepared and submit ted to the legislature a schedule fixing reasonable maximum rates covering the principal commodities included in the schedule promulgated in the order of the board made in this case. This schedule was adopted and enacted into law by the legislature and the carriers have announced their intention of put ting the same into effect in compliance with the provisions of the act. It is therefore believed that no substantial advantage could be gained at this time by further insisting upon the enforce ment of the order of the board made in this case." KILLED FOR HER MONEY.

Asks That They Help Make Washburn Great. EXCELLENT BAKQUET Those Who Occupy Stage Wel come New Class. Judge E. B. Simon Is the New President. Yesterday afternoon the annual ban- duet of the Washburn College Alumni association took place In Rice hall. 140 plates being provided. Tho color scheme was blue and white, the college colors, the tables being tastefully decorated with flowers. Overhead were strings of paper pennants which added mater ially to the general effect. To the wo man's society of the Central Congrega tional is due the efficiency of the catering and general management. Hugh McFarland, '06, was toast master, filling the requirements of that position in a pleasing and acceptable manner. Among the speakers were Robert Stone, '89, who mentioned the subject of his recent turn down by the chief executive at Washington in such a way as to iproduce a ripple of laughter. He spoke Of the way in which Wash burn is being advertised by the effici ency of her graduates in all parts of the realm. President Frank K. Sanders then made a plea for the support of the as sociation towards making Washburn a great institution of learning. He said in part: "I was much interested in hearing about the range of the alumni influ ence over the world. It almost seems like a local enterprise, but as a matter of fact we exert an influence over the outside world. I became interested In Washburn because I heard of men all over the world who were Washburn enthusiasts and were working In a truly Washburn way. I have the clearest assurance of what the future will be. I assure the alumni that they are receiving a very great addition by the entrance of the '09 class into their ranks. The alumni of a college are perhaps the most important of its various as sets. I don't think Washburn feels the greatest possible Influence of her alumni at this time. I don't feel that In the west and southwest they are sufficiently organised so we can get togetner lor effective union. They should organise more closely so that they can wield a greater Influence for the good or the college. They can exert a great Influence for the institution. Of course we have a tremendous number of needs, but I think we can say the college is making steady ad vance. Next year we have this splen did gymnasium and the board of trustees has been able to plan to have two new. men as Instructors! "Mr. Jordan L. Fisher of Syracuse university throughout his course there has been, first assistant and is Just the man to put In charge of a good gymnasium. Miss Bowerman of Oberlin, herself a graduate of this year, but a thoroughly trained and mature young lady will be able to give a great deal of her time to in struction. "Two weeks ago I Bald to the stu dents that the trustees had so much before them to meet, it seemed almost hopeless to get money for Improve ment on the campus. The outgoing seniors responded loyally, voting $500 the first day as a class. Nearly $800 has either been subscribed or prom ised. We should have $3,000 a year tical point, I wish to appeal very dl at least and to come down to a prac rectly to you to ask, for example, you to give say $500 a year for these Im provements. Of course what money we use must be applied la a scientific manner. "There should be a real working unity in all Washburn's constituency. We want to continue to be Just as loyal as ever when we have gone forth, and speak of It as the finest in stitution for your purposes at least. If this is done we can surely have the greater Washburn that we have been talking about this week." A business meeting was held upon adjournment from the banqueting ta ble and the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: Judge E. R. Simon, president, '06; John Robb, vice president, '09; Hat tie May Halbert, secretary-treasurer, '00; and Mrs. Mabel Rehwlck Hughes member of executive committee. Mr. I. H. Green Was nominated as member of the board of trustees. The banquet program follows: Hugh McaFrland, '06, toastmaster. Karl M. Bowman, '09. Edwin L. O'Neil, '09. Judge Ernest R. Simon, '06. Robert Stone, '89. President Frank Knight Sanders. HEIRS MUST PAY IT. (Continued from Page One.) sands of dollars awaiting this de cision and other suits are to be brought later. The Kansas supreme court has de clared unconstitutional the law passed by the legislature many years ago which required a railroad company to give a discharged employe a written notice, showing the true cause of his discharge. The law was passed to pre vent blacklisting of railroad employes. The court, In the suit of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe against A. W. Brown of Emporia, reversed a decision of the lower court and wipes the law off the statute books, on the ground that the law was repugnant to the bill of rights. Brown was a brakeman for the company and let a tramp ride in his train. The tramp paid 40 cents fare from Florence to Newton and It was charged that Brown did not turn In the money. The tramp afterward appeared as a detective of the company and Brown was discharged. Supreme Court Decisions. List of opinions handed down by the supreme court Saturday, June 5, 1909. BY JOHNSON. C.

STOCKS The opening stock market was made very irregular oy neavy realising in some oi the stocks which were strong yesterday and by advances in fresh points. United states steel stocks were under pressure, the preferred declining a full point while the common. Atchison. Baltimore and Ohio, Texas and Pacific and American Can preferred fell large tractions. Tnere was a brisk diversion of bullish operations in to Erie and Ontario and Western Id which opening sale3 were made of large blocks at wide quotations, making extreme gains of a large fraction to a point. Republic Steel preferred advanced 2, and Corn Products a point. Speculation was on an enormous scale, but prices moved very uncertainly. Near 11 o'clock heavy buying of United States Steel sent it above 68 and imparte a more uniform tendency to the market, with the mil stocks snowing aggressive strengtn. Amone the chief eains were Metronolitan Street Railway 4 points. Lake ErTe Hid Western preierred S; Ontario Western and United States Pipe preferred 2, WestliiKhouse Electric 2. Erie first pre ferred and Virginia. Carolina Chemical preferred 2, Northern Pacific, Atlantic Coast Line, General Electric and Colorado Fuel 1, and many other a point. In the way of losses Baltimore Ohio, Ameri can Can preferred, Bethlehem Steel pre- rerred and American .Beet sugar prefer red figured for a point each. The market closed unsettled and quite sharDly reactionary. The shifting of ac counts by buying in new quarters while selling holdings to realize profits kept up the constant irregularity in the movement of prices. United States Steel advanced from 66 to 69 or 1 over last night's price. Amalgamated Copper gained 1, American Smelting 1, Sloss Sheffield Steel 1, General Electric 2 and United States Pipe preferred 4. Among the railroads Erie gained 2, the second preferred and Atlantic Coast Line 2, Louisville Nash ville 2. Peoria Eastern 2. Illinois Cen tral 1, Lake Erie Western 1 and the preierrea .Baltimore fc unio declined 1, St. Paul and Atchison, American Steel b oundries and the American Lin seed stocks a point.

WHEAT The people who took and paid for the wheat on the May delivery are past masters in mer chandizing property and sales of wheat indicate this. There may be soma con cession in the way of prices but one thing is sure, the wheat is going to be Bold, moved out and distributed before the movement from the vnew crop begins. Cash sales yesterday were 170,000 Bushels finally. It Is claimed that as much as 90, 000 bushels sold to go to Kansas City and St. Louis is also buying wheat here. It looks as If the milling centers had de cided to buy this wheat while it Is for sale at reasonable prices without wait ing for the new harvest. June always brings bearish sentiment and this, to gether with natural liquidation by the tailers in the July, explains the reaction in price the past couple days. If there is any further dip in prices at any time to day we believe in buying orders for any or all months. CORN Opinions are widely apart on this corn. Some of the oldest traders in the market are puszled by the situation. The way the cash corn moved ip to 77 cents wltn active aemana yesteraay en couraeed buyers of futures and caused new high prices to be made for the late months. Many people in the trade are nredietinsr further advance for both cash and futures. The one thing needful to check this upward tendency is the selling of a few million bushels of corn by the country ana present nign prices ao not appear to be tempting corn raisers to part with their reserves as expected. PROVISIONS 14,000 -against 15,000 estl mated hogs. Some of our talent who had stuff bought at low figures took profits and are now anxious for a dip to get in again, believing in filgner prices later on. lxgan tsryan.

WHEAT It was the gossip last night that while there has been considerable long July wheat sold out by scattered holders In the last four days, the break yesterday brought in supporting buying orders from traders who bellev that July is the best pur chase on all declines from the present level. There was selling or ami.ouo ousneis of September and buying of December at close spread. There bas been an im mnse line spread between September and December and the latter being sold and the former bought. Traders attached sig nificance to the late cables from Argen tine telling of rains. On the curb last night there was a gooa sprmaiing oi bears on wheat who predicted a decline in the cash premiums and alno said that futures were also due for a good break. They claimed that the scattered longs were getting tired and that there would be an evening up over the holidays. Bulls were inclined to look for some little set back in prices and said it would be a good thing to create a larger short in terest. CORN Sentiment among corn traders last night was mixed. Receiving houses and those in close touch with the country were bullish and predicted that July will sell up to 78 cents and September to 7o cents. They said that it will take 75 cents in Illinois and 70 cents in Iowa to Payment SP I ft 4 AVENUE prfd or common.

Principal pressure was in December, in which early buyers showed a disposition to take profits, due to rain reported in Argentine and the Modern Miller's report yesterday which indicated a winter wheat crop of 400.0U0,- 000 bushels. Toward the close the market showed some steadiness due to week end covering, owing to a forecast by Broom hall that the shipments from Russia this week will be smaller. CORN Market dull.

WILL BE NO LET UP. Report Tonight Result of the Canvass. Keys of the City Were Delivered to Workers. Tag day is here, and the diligent two hundred maids and matrons wearing the official tag badges are here and there and everywhere, and the army of pedestrians marching up and down Kansas avenue is decidedly tagged tagged in some instances many times over. The jolly taggers are tireless In their efforts and are apparently not confining their work to the labeling of human beings, but are extending their advertising to the tagging an occasion al horse in the interests of the associa tion. As a matter of fact it is hoped by tonight at 9 o'clock when the army of hustlers makes its final report to Mrs. Charles B. Thomas at the Topeka State bank to have the whole town tagged. The cause is a good one, and is deserving of support, as the great "white plague" is one of the gravest dangers to our commonwealth, and a fresh air camp is one of the innova tions Topeka should have in order to make it the most desirable residence city in the west. At the Auditorium this morning at 8:30, Mayor William Green delivered the keys of the city to the workers of the Provident association and in a brief speech gave them the privilege of entering any house, business estab lishment or office in the city In the per formance of their duty, and assured them of the support of the police. A. tag was offered him gratis, but he pro duced a dollar from his pocket and asked the association to accept it for a "good cause." A few amusing incidents have hap pened during the day. An old uncle when confronted by a pretty maid said, "I's done had pow'ful bad luck, and my ole 'Oman's got a pain in de misery, but praps dares others worser off than I iss," and he carefully produced a five cent piece from a soiled rag. Another old fellow said he wanted to "hepe de cause" and straightway went into a store and borrowed a nickel. One of the taggers said it was just where they were least ex pecting it that the offering seemed to be most cheerfully made. A burly country chap when ac costed by a good looking girl and a smile seemed to be seized by a fit of bashfulness at any rate he turned sharply and sped down the "pike" at a rapid pace. On a certain corner this dialogue took place: "Wouldn't you like to buy a tag?" "No, I wouldn't." "Really wouldn't you?" "I told you once that I didn't want a tag." This time it was the girl who made a hasty "getaway." Miss Lenore Stubbs, daughter of the governor, who was one of Mrs. M. D. Henderson's "taggers" today began early before breakfast, on her father, and although she had out-of-town visitors and a sore throat and was leaving the city at 3 p. m., nevertheless turned in a handsome sum of tag money before quitting. HER NAME IS JULIANA. The Infant Daughter of Queen Wil tielmina Is Christened. The Hague, June 6. Princess Ju liana, the infant daughter of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland was christened in the Lutheran church today with exceedingly simple ceremonial. The members of the royal family and the visiting princes and princesses occu pied the front pews of the church. There were present also a number of officials, representative of the diplo matic corps. The baptismal font was of silver, fashioned in the Gothic style. After listening to a long sermon, the text of which was taken from the gospel according to St. Luke, her majesty presented the infant for bap tism. After this ceremony the choir chanted the 134th Psalm. HAUL WATER IN WAGONS Roosevelts Leave Kijabe for the Sotik District. Kijabe, British East Africa, June 5. The Roosevelt expedition left here at 1 o'clock today for the Sotik district. Be tween Kijabe and the objective there is a waterless tract that it will take two days and a half to traverse. Water for the expedition will be carried in ox wagons. Hammerstein Hurt in a Collision. Paris, June 5. Oscar Hammerstein. the New York impresario, was in an automobile accident here today. While returning to hiu hotel in an automo bile taxicab, his vehicle ran into an other machine and both cars were damaged. Mr. Hammerstein suffered contusions, but no bones were broken.

COLLINS IS BROUGHT BACK. Negro Didn't Like to Wear the Hand cuffs. Fred Collins, the negro who shot Will Norman, another negro two months ago, was brought back from Kansas City last night by Deputy Sheriff Chas. Lytle. Another deputy went after Col lins a few days ago, but the negro refused to leave Missouri without a requisition. Lytle was armed with the necessary tapers, and although Collins promised, when ,Lytle stopped off at Kansas City, to come along without requisition, the officer took no chances, and went on to Jefferson City where his papers .were signed by the gover nor. Collins was very much against wear ing handcuffs back to Topeka, and his "best girl," Laura Copeland, who de sired to return with him, wore one of the cuffs to prevent the manacles from being visible. Lytle handcuffed them together so that they could each hide one of the cuffs by pulling down their sleeves. Copeland shot the other negro in the mouth during a disturbance, but did not seriously injure the victim. FOUND NO LSQUOR. Rosser Drug Store on Topeka Avenue Is Raided. Last night a man was seen to come out of the A. O. Rosser drug store at 1001 Topeka avenue with the old style suspicious looking package, by Detec tive Hutton, who immediately held up the man and took a peek into his armload which proved to be bottles of whisky. This suspicious character was then led to the station where he told of his purchase and added the story of several others which were put into the shape of an affidavit for which service his name has so far been withheld. Of course with the new law comes inquisition and the purchaser will be compelled to tell where he procured the stuff. A war rant was sworn for Rosser and a clerk, R. E. Walker and the two were arrested by Hutton and Sergeant Ross. Their own recognizance se cured their liberty for the night but this morning Thomas Horsfield signed two $600 bonds for them. The trial is set for this evening's session but there has been no city or dinance passed since the state law went into effect and the trial will have to be under the old ordinance if at all. It is understood Rosser will con tend that there was no liquor in his place. The officers making the arrest had a search warrant and searched the store without finding any liquor. The chief himself then joined them in their hunt but to no discovery. Chief Eaton was decidedly reticent on the subject this morning and re fused to say more than, "Well, we have a case," which is calculated to mean that he has enough evidence to secure a police court conviction. COOLEY IN WICHITA. Says That He Will Be All Right In Two Weeks. Dick Cooley will be able to play again in two weeks. This informa tion was received by the State Jour nal this afternoon in a conference with Cooley at Wichita over the long distance. "My ankle was merely sprained," said Dick. "It hurts me a lot, and I can't stand, on it now. I am walking with one crutch, but I don't think It is a very bad sprain. Those things in the ankle always hurt like everything even though they are minor injuries." Cooley says he will have no new players on the infield before the team returns home. This afternoon. Kun kel will play first and Geier, who is a pretty fair lnfielder will work at third. If this combination doesn't work, Cooley says he can play McManus at first and leave the rest of the in fielders in their regular positions and allow Geier to retain his place In right. Starr was released in Denver. "He wouldn't stay sober, and insisted on boozing after I had given him plenty of warning, so I left him behind, for I have no place for boozers on my club," said Cooley In explanation of the release. WON'T NEED MONEY. rraft Stops Appropriation for Traveling Expenses. Washington, June 5. President Taft sent for Representative Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations and Representative Cushman of Washington and told them he did not wish to have an appropria tion made for his traveling expenses under the impression that he would make a trip to Alaska. The president said Mrs. Taft's health was such that she probably would not be able to make the trip with him until after navigation had closed in Alaskan waters. The president said he did not think that Mrs. Taft's illness would interfere with his trip to the Seattle exposition, although he could not even determine that at the present time.

ANOTHER CAR STARTS, Leaves New York Today and Will Try to Overtake Racers. New York, June 5. A belated starter in the transcontinental automobile race was a Stearns car, entered by Oscar btoip, wmcn left here shortly after noon today in the hope of catching the other contestants.

The sleeves are long and close-fitting and composed of groups of cross-tucks and embroidery. Across the front are strips of the insertion arranged In military effect, and each terminating at the closing with but tons covered with the goods. A pleat ed ruffle also trims this closing from neck to waist. Corn Bread. The uneasiness over the price of flour has prompted various suggest ions of what may or should happen in case bread also goes up In price. A suggestion is made by a correspond ent of the New York Tribune that a national crusade might well be start ed in favor of our native American cereal. He feels that "due credit is not given to the golden ears wihich have made the fertile valleys of the Middle West veritable mines of gold, that their food value is not properly appreciated, and that the kernels which make the country's pork and build the bone and sinew of the steer are not utilized by human, beings as they ought to be." He pungen-tly adds that there is no occasion for becom ing excited over wheat corners, pres ent or prospective, so long as the cribs of the farmers are bulging with corn. The suggestion may be of im portance to some foreign-born resi dents of this country, but most Amer icans are familiar with the virtues of corn pone, johnny cake, and other delicacies made from corn meal, but if the price of flour Is unfairly ad vanced, why should a high tariff on wheat serve to protect the perpetra tors of the injustice?

There is a pitcher- on the visiting team by the name of Lam bert, who worked in this game that has some real baseball ability in him. His age is the only thing the matter with him now, and with a little more experience he will be going with fast company.

Bink' ley Was Foully Slain. Chicago. June 5. That John T. Binkley, sr., was murdered in the Wel lington hotel now is the belief of Cor oner Peter M. Hoffman and the police, The coroner has pointed out that while the shot that killed the old physician must have been fired a con siderable distance, the victim's arms were only 26.5 inches lone. After exhaustive tests with the re volver found in the hotel on Wednes day with one cartridge exploded, Cor oner Hoffman emerged from the vaults of his office where the tests were carried on, and stated that if Dr. Bink ley shot himself he must have held the revolver almost at arm's length a most difficult position from which to fire a gun. "From my experiments with the re volver fired at varying- distances from white paper in my vaults I feel more strongly inclined to the belief that Dr. Blinkley was murdered," said Coroner Hoffman.

We will deliver and set same at time of funeral in any place In Shawnee county. Is made on the lines of the. most advanced methods of cement construction. The material is cement and gravel in the approved proportions for the best class of work, and is re inforced with steel through out. The method of manu facture produces an air-tight and waterproof vault of ex- ceeding strength, grace and lightness, when we say waterproof, we mean it in the sense that a bathtub is waterproof. When we say lightness, we mean that it Is as light as is consistent with strength and material. This vault is handled, however, as easily as any ot the steel vaults that are on the market. By our method, there are amalgamated with the concrete of the walls, bot tom and lid of the vault steel wires about three inches apart.' Those of the walls run lengthwise and those of the bottom and lid run both ways. Being a part of the walls and gripped by the concrete so tightly as to be one mass, it Is easily seen that to break the vault In the middle, nearly every wire in both of the walls would have to. be PULLED apart. This illustrates the fact that wire used as we use i tin these vaults adds its TENSILE strength to the product. This vault is as solid and durable as though it were cut from solid granite. Nothing better in the way of QUALITY, at least, will ever be produced. Wo have achieved the. limit of quality. D. 0. CRANE and W. R. CARRIE, Agents.

10 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 5, 1909 Worse Than a "Dreadnausht." The International Sunday-School Les son for June 6 Is. "The Power of the Tongue." James 3: 1-12. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. The peace societies are campaigning- against the building of more bat tleships of the "Dreadnaught" type, which has so aroused Europe. All the International politics of our time is being powerfully affected by the cre ation of this new and monstrous en gine of death. Worse than the "Dreadnaught" is the peril against which James wrote in his practical and outspoken letter to the early Christian Church. He reached out for all the strongest images he could Imagine to express the hurtfulness of this evil, and had "Dreadnaughts" ex isted In hi time, doubtless they, too, would have been utilized a a figure of malign power. For that unruly member, the human tongue, has wrought more harm to humanity than all the swords and guns and warships that have ever been manufactured. The truth seems too obvious to be dwelt upon, yet nothing needs more emphasis In our own time. W e could afford to go without, for a generation to come, some of the new discoveries of our wizard-like scientists, if only instead we could devise a way of brid ling people's tongues. James came to the subject by way of the tendency of the new Christians to assume places of Instruction. The gift of teaching attracted, them, and they were prone to allow their words to outrun their knowledge a. fashion which did not cease with James's time. The danger of becoming a bab bler instead of a profitable teacher led up to this famous passage upon the tongue. One is sometimes tempted to send a marked copy of this letter, by James to some of our present-day distinguished college professors, who are as prone as the early Christian converts to speak unadvisedly with their lips. The Tameless Member. The bridle, the ship's rudder, the fire, the vial of deadly poison. all were employed as figures by James to Indicate the potentiality of the tongue. He gives his pen full license to depict the seriousness of the tongue's offending. There is not a sin or a crime that mars the fair page of human endeavor that may not sprln'g from the unbridled tongue. Anacharsis said that "the tongue is, at the same time, the best part of man and his worst; with good govern ment, none Is more useful, and with out it, none is more mischievous." Justin carried the thought farther when he said: "By examining the tongue of a patient, the physicians find out the disease of the body, and philosophers the disease of the mind." A simple method of getting at present-day social conditions much sim pler than to read the numerous vol umes on sociology that are stream ing from the press is to take one's ears to any place where men and wo men foregather, and simply listen. On the highways, in public conveyances, where persons are gathered socially, listen to the nature of the snatches of conversation that come unintended to vour ears. So much or tne iaiK Is frivolous and empty and slangy and tVimichtlpss and erossnrv that a per son wonders where to look for words of soberness and discretion. If the mmrn talk that one overhears is a fair indication of the thinking of tVi time, there is neea ior prirmn this paragraph from James's ancient letter in display type upon the front page of every newspaper or tne iana. For the evils which James saw In old Jerusalem are afflicting modern Americans to even an exaggerated de- The Good Person's Failing. The. Viftrlilv correct Derson, who would be horrified at the thought of hurling a stone through a piate glass window, often does not hesitate to send a ruinous sentence smashing into a -neighbor's reputation. There is the gravest danger that Christians who stand appalled at the grosser sins, will yet give full play to the more Injur ious offences of the tongue. It is a much less serious matter to get into a fist fight than to stab a person's all" rv m f The habit of censorious speech is a particular peril of good people, me Pharisees fell deeply into this sin In the time of Jesus. They assumed that, somehow, their own probity arwl out ward conformity to matters of the kw cave them the privilege of sit ting in Judgment upon all the rest of the world. Everyooay wno nas ming led with various types of Christian gatherings can reVate experiences of almost unthinkable uncharitableness on the part of sincerely pious persons. The tongue of the Christian, and not of the worldling, letlt be remembered. Is the particular object of James's let ter. He is moved to write so strongly es he does because of the offences of Christians themselves. The ?Tew Gift of Tongues. Certain psychic manifestations in India, Los Angeles, and elsewhere, have attracted widespread attention because they profess to be a recur rence of the apostlic "gift of tongues." One thing is clear, however, amd that is that the gift of the ability to 6peak in unknown toneues is not half so im portant to the progress of the King dom of Heaven as the gift of tongues which speak gentle, kindly, comfort ing, brotherly words. The church can probably get along without a new baptism of "tongues"; but both the church and the world sorely need more of the sort of sim ple, helpful speech which fell from the lips of Jesus, and which every where marks the character of the most Christlike men and women. The Quaker's "thee" and "thy" set him apart as a member of the Society of r nenas, ana nis plain speecn js re pray ior another Dr. Luke to lead iier out into this field of opportunity j.here la no college education that can equal close association with a great man. Luke was a graduate of f tt :nooi, tor n was permitted to him to be a companion of the Apostle Paul, a practical life-lesson from iujie s career is the wisdom of get ting as close as oosslble not for nnr. poses of boasting, but of discipleship to the greatest personalities within one's ken. And it is to be remem bered that not all the treat men are The Gospel of St.. Luke is tho fins. pel of the world, greeting "all nations ana Kindreds, and peoples, and tongues" with its St. Matthew traces the gemealogy of imsi. DacK to ADraham; St. Luke goes farther back, to th fountain- head, where all the diverging streams meet ana minyle, as he traces the de freshing amidst the extravagant bab- J5rent Adaffl. the Son of God. Mat- bling of our time; but more than that it needs the distinguishing singular pronouns, the speech of Christians needs the quality of restraint and hu mility and sympathy, which make all hearers think of the gentle Master whose words the common people neara gladly. "Say So!" Certain monastic orders have en joined the rule of silence. Figurative ly speaking, they have cut out the tongues of their members. This is a cowardly way of attempting to avoid the sins of the tongue. The tongue was given for use, and rightly em ployed, it is a minister of blessing. Without the use of speech, which is the most distinctive mark of man kind as compared with the lower an imals of creation, the fullest ex pression of the mind is impossible. The love light in the eyes needs trans lation into word. The noble resolu tion that burns in the heart must find utterance in word or deed, or both, The special truth of which every per son is custodian must be delivered through the lips. A man seems to be at his noblest when he is employing his tongue to inspire, instruct, and lead his fellow men. All the modern devices of print ing and telegraphy and the phono graph cannot eliminate the work of the platform speaker. Only a few days ago an official of New York City who had been widely criticised appeared in a public meeting to make a statement concerning his public record. At first he was hissed and hooted, but such is the power of speech that before the evening was over the fifteen hundred men and women present voted to give an even ing wholly to hearing him explain his actions. That sort of thing hag happened times without number in the history of public speaking. Citi zens demand that their candidates for office appear before them in person as witnesses on the stand, and with their own voice express their purpose and platforms As such a trifle as the upsetting of a lantern by a cow burned down Chi cago. so a small, idle word has ruined great financial institutions and pre cipitated panics in which many lives have been lost. On the other hand the true, the timely, the careful, and the considerate word is orte of God's best agencies for leveling up human society.

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. The Book of Mormon is aii hirthc faithful to have been written on plates 6'u in. tuaiauiers w men were in telligible only to Joseph Smith when iie wore tnose mysterious spectacles. Some persons like to get their sacred nnrlrc .1.1 l" more mere is mysterious and the supernatur al about their supposed production, the greater the reverence given them. But the Christian scri way of flesh and blood men They bear the traces of the personality of o.uuiuia. vvnat is supernatural about them shows itself in th in tent rather than in the method of proauetion. Spirit of God guides the pen, but, after ail, it is a man's pen and the Omniscient shows more re spect for the personality of his crea tures than some of his creatures are inclined to show to Omniscience Thus it comes about that the Third Gospel, which barely indicates In its text the personality of the man who wrote it, is yet underlaid with his character. To Luke it was given to portray the human aspect of the divine Christ; and no angel has had a work equal to this. Out of Gentile, or "heathen," An tioch in Syria came this young con vert, Dr. Luke, who was to be a great world-server as one of the biograph ers of Jesus. There Is ever a fresh supply of new talent and new power flowing from the mission field into the extending church. The case of Luke is a rebuke to any sririt of nar row nationalism in religion. He was not a Jew, and the church at Jerusa lem would at first not have thought it possible for a Gentile to become so mighty in the Master's work. Sim ilarly, I recall Dr. Li. of China, a young native under whose preaching I have seen dozens of Chinese-speaking Europeans deeply moved. When a Canadian friend recently told me of Dr. Li's death. It was with tears in his eyes, as he confessed that his own life had been profoundly affected by this young convert's ministry. Like wise, Pastor Kil. of Pyeng Yang Ko rea, is a recruit from heathendom who possesses a preaching power rare even among the Christian ministry of America and Europe. Nobody knows what new Dr. Luke is to arise from the Oriental church. Beginning his genealogy of Jesus with Adam, Luke sets forth the Sav iour as a world-man, the Son of hu mility, the Redeemer of the race. There was a place in the early C?Sch ?r first-elass reporter and editor. Would that Dr. Luke were! alive now, with his vivid, discrimina-i tmg human pen, to become editor of a great inter-church religious paper, f. nre P?lem,c statesmen in our editorial cha rs. But organized Chris tianity has given scant encouragement to men to enter the succession to the four evangelists. We hire secretaries galore of all degrees of efficiency and inefficiency, but feel strongly the need for chroniclers of the Kingdom's I coming. Religious papers are poorly i supported. Church folk are usually slow to co-operate with daily news-1 papers that try to report religious1 news; it is only the occasional person who Is thoughtful enough tn tf- a note of appreciation to the editor, v. i .a ii.. I generous treat ment of Christianity's special Inter ests. All this is rather amazing in view of the manifest fact that twen tieth century church work must be done in twentieth century ways; and the only sure method of reaching ev erybody nowadays is through the printed page. The church may well tnew shows us the "wise men," lost in Jerusalem and inquiring, "Where is ie that is born Kins: of the Jews? But St. Luke gives, instead, the "good tidings" to "all people"; and then he repeats the angel song, which is the Key-note or the Gospel, "Glory to God in the highest, good will toward men." it is St. Luke only wno records the first discourse at Nazareth, showing how in ancient times, even, the mercy or God flowed out toward a Gentile widow and a tjentne leper. St. Luke alone men tions the mission of the Seventy, whose very number was a prophecy oi a wona-wiae cjospel. seventy be ing the recognized symbol of the Gen tile world, as twelve stood for the Hebrew people. St. Luke alone gives us tne virtues or the Good Samaritan showing that all the virtues did not reside in Israel, but that there was more humanity, and so more divin ity in the compassionate Samaritan than in their priest and Levite. St Luke alone records the call of Zac chaeus, the Gentile publican, telling now jesus canceled their laws of he redity, passing him up among the sons of Abraham. St. Luke alone gives us the twin parables of the lost coin and the lost man, showing how jesus nad come to seek and to save that which was lost, which was hu manity, here, and there, and every where. And so there breathes all through this gospel a catholic spirit whose rhythm and deep meaning have Deen caught in the lines: "There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wldeness of the sea. Rev. Henry Burton, M. A. The power to observe must precede the power to write. The difference between good writers and poor ones Is he difference between eyes and no eyes. Luke had all of the trained phy sician's power of observation; he caught the little significant details in the Gospel story as it was told him by eye-witnesses. That is why his biography is the best "story" of the four. One practical lesson from this book 1 the Importance of learning how to observe closely, to think clear ly and to write accurately. The great achievement of Luke, in his Gospel and in the Acts, is hie mak ing clear the personality or the llv ing Christ, and the reality and sig nificance of his continued work. He was Luke the revealer. Of him it could be said as should be possible of every Christian that he made Jesus Christ real to all whose lives he touched The life lessons that may be drawn from the Gospel or Luke are prac tically the lessons that are taught by the life and words of Jesus. Luke was merely a faithful transmitter of these. His book is but a reading-glass through which the Lord may be seen more distinctly. NEWS AND NOTES. The great-grandson of the first Baptist foreign missionary to India, Rev. Dr. William Carey, is now visit ing In the United States. Like his dis tinguished namesake, he is a British missionary in India. His purpose in coming to America is an endeavor to raise one-tenth of a ten million dol lar endowment fund for Serampore College, in the province of Bengal, India, which Dr. Carey founded. After protracted negotiations, the Pope has abolished the power of veto which certain Catholic powers have enjoyed in the conclave of cardinals met tor the election of a pope. This is an act of great importance. It will be remembered that Austria's veto of Cardinal Rampolla was responsible for the present incumbent of the Vatican. Pius X. The Church Congress which was held by members of the Protestant Episcopal church, in Boston, during the middle of May. was notable alike for the distinguished speakers on its program and for the special attention given to the social aspects of Chris tianity.

Dr. Wil liam T. Manning, of Trinity church, recently preached in answer to numerous attacks on Trinity corpora tion has been issued in pamphlet form for general distribution.

Subscribers of the State Journal way during the summer may have the pnper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents a month (by mall only.) Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. Advance payment is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. There will certainly be a union of extremes when a daughter of Lawson of Boston marries a Chicago man. Score a good one for the college students. A prominent Kansas farmer declares that they make the most de sirable sort of harvest hands. What a brave lot are certain of the members of the United States senate. They waited until Senator La Follette was absent from the chamber to give him a "skinning." There may be a scientific justifica tion for cannibalism as is suggested by a prominent London physician and scientist but there is surely no need for the exploitation of such a grewsome and repulsive theory. Just imagine, please, the disadvant ages of Butte City, Montana, as a social center for women. There isn't a first class dressmaker in the, town. But probably the men of Butte .City -who foot the bills are de-lighted over this fact. What has become of the talk that was being bandied about a few months ago to the effect that a war between the United States and Japan was im minent? And what has become of that war? And where is Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson? A Chicago physician has solved a a great problem if, as he says, he can keep his patients alive and give them health and strength by feeding them on sunlight and wind. But then they'll be up against it on cloudy days when the wind is not blowing, and of which there are not a few. Only forty-seven inebriates are con fined In the poor houses in Kansas. Possibly some bright man will come to the front -with an argument that this is because of the great wheat and corn crops of the state and not because it is blessed with a prohibition law which la pretty generally and successfully enforced. Senator La Follette declares that the Aldrlch cotton rates in the proposed tariff legislation mean an increase in such tariff schedules as high aa BO per cent, i And the people of the country will be apt to take Mr. La Follette's word for it as against such defenses of these schedules as their friends may make for them. Jewelers of Oregon have gone on record as opposed to the slaughtering of the harmless little horned toads which are now being made into hat pins and worn by women who consider themselves to be fashionable: But what is the necessity of protecting these little reptiles? They are Just as valueless as they are harmless. After a lot of fuming and fretting and fussing, it has been decided prac tically to select the northeast corner of Tenth avenue and Jackson street as a site for the new State Memorial building. From the very start of the negotiations this has been about the ony site around Capitol quare which was available for the purpose. The brewers, in convention at Atlan tie City, are of the opinion that the best way to solve the liquor problem is to provide for an efficient regulation of the saloons. The people, the country over, have Just about decided that the Ideal way to regulate the Baloon busi ness is to abolish it. And thai people, and not the brewers, rule in this land. A review of the work that has been done during the past year by the City Federation of Women's clubs, as it was detailed at the recent annual meeting of this organization, will .show that these Topeka women are engaged in a multitude of affairs that cannot help Irttt be of benefit to the city in many vnya and make it a better place to live in. Congratulations and words of encouragement are due them. There's a saying around court rooms that "you never can tell what a Jury will do." Its force was exemplified re cently by the verdict of a Chicago Jury which found a man not guilty of bur glary la the face ot the fact that lie had made a written confession that he was guilty of the crime. But there was some Justice In this verdict even if it was of the retributive sort. The con fession had been browbeaten out of this prisoner through the workings of the infamous "third degree" by the po lice. It's high time that this relic .of the days of witchcraft is banished from civilized communities. A SATURDAY SERMON. A merry heart doetb good like medicine: but a broken spirit drietb. the bones. Pro verbs xvli:22. Not an exceedingly fine discernment is needed by any one these days to realize that there is an overabundance of grouchiness among many persons. They seem to be as foreign to Joviality as is snow V equatorial regions. They go about their work, and their pleasure if they take any, with a sullenness that makes them anything but enviable companions. In fact, a good many of them do not know what real pleasure is. It is actually a difficult task for them to try to enjoy themselves at anything. They are bored by every thing, or they make out that they are, and that is quite as bad as the real thing, both for themselves and their friends. Some of this unfortunate class un doubtedly assume such moods for the effect that they think they will have upon others. They are pessimistic for a purpose. They look upon vivacious -nes3 as utter frivolity. They think sombre ways will attract attention to them. They believe that these char acteristics will set them apart from others and above them; that they are indicative of a superior intelligence and a superiority in all things. Poor, de luded creatures. Attention is assuredly attracted to them, 'but it is not of a kind that they would desire if they knew the truth of it. It does not border on respect and admiration as they deceive themselves into thinking. It resolves itself into pure, unadulter ated pity, that they should be so af flicted. On the other hand, the individuals who are merry of heart, and may their shadows never grow less, who are ever looking on the bright side of things. who are filled with a cheerfulness of spirit on every and all occasions and even under the most trying of circum stances, they are the ones who enjoy all there is in life to the fulL They are welcome everywhere. They have favors of all sorts extended to them without the asking. Their appearance at any old place and at any old time is like a ray of sunshine piercing the clouds that have scattered darkness and gloom over the earth for a time be ing. Not only is their joyfulness good medicine as Solomon says in the words of the text, but it Is good for every one with whom they come in contact. It's a panacea for most of the ills that human flesh is heir to. Its acquire ment should be sought after by every man and woman. In reality, it may well be called the Fountain of Per. petual Youth, that mythical spring which the romantic explorers of cen turies gone by" used to risk their lives and fortunes to find. The way to it is not blocked by insurmountable bar riers of any sort. It is easily accessible to all, and every one should hasten to quaff of its T 'ters. FREE HIDES, CHEAPER SHOES. Senator Curtis has recently stated that he would favor free hides If he thought they would reduce the"prlce of shoes, but he took the position that a duty on hides is desirable to protect the Interests of the farmer and the cattle raiser: the duty on hides, he declared, would not add more than three or four cents to a pair of shoes, which small amount would not be taken off the price of the shoes and would not affect the price. Miss Ida M. Tarbell, a publicist of recognized authority, presented facts and figures recently to show that free hides would save the American peo ple $30,000,000 or more annually on their shoe bill. This is no inconsid- erable saving even If it is in the ag. gregate. It could be made much larger and more material. If the duty be removed entirely from manufactured leather goods. A step in that direction was made in the Payne bill by a material reduction in the tariff schedules on these articles. The State Journal has been favoring the removal of all du ties on leather manufactures as well as on hides, and it has been favoring the removal of the duty on hides not only because of a possible reduction in theprice of shoes thereby but for other reasons, as will develop. Senator Curtis says that out of the thirteen million cattle hides and the two million fallen hides, the large packers "only handle five million hides." The statistics which have been pre sented in various quarters while the tariff discussion has been going on are at variance with this statement. They are to the effect that the big packers handle at least 75 per cent of the hides of the country, and further than that, they control absolutely 47 of the 66 important tanneries in the nation. If they only handled one-fifth of the hides of the land they certainly would not be able to operate such a large percentage of the tanneries. Not only are free hides desirable because of the fact that they will help to reduce the price of shoes, but they are also desirable to prevent the packers from gaining absolute control of the tanning industry of the coun try, which they will soon do if hides are protected and they keep up their present gait of getting control of tan. neries. If they are permitted to do this the result will be inevitable. They will control absolutely the leather market and charge what they please for their leather products. This will mean higher prices for shoes Instead of low- er ones, for the experiences of the people with the packers In regard to their handling of the meat supply of the country does not warrant the as. sumption that they are philanthropl cally inclined to the extent of making leather cheaper as soon aa they get absolute control of it. Senator Curtis says he would vote for free hides if the powers that be would take off the duty on leather manu factures b,ut lt-they believe in protect ing these products he believes that "the farmer should have hie share." -Hides are a by-product. Cattle are not raised primarily for their hides, but for the beef they will yield. It may be doubted if the existing duty on hides has any stimulating effect whatever on the cattle raising busi ness. The duty on the hide of an animal-amounts to but little over 1 per cent of the animal's value. .Moreover, hides taken off animals ordinarily killed by the farmers themselves that is, skins, as they are termed, or hides weighing less than twenty-five pounds are not -subject to duty. If the purpose of a duty on hides were to encourage the cattle business It is more than reasonable to assume that the hide in the hand of the farmer would be given protection, which It does not get now, aa well as that taken from the larger animal killed by the packer. Experts also figure out that any loss that the cattle raiser might suffer from xree hides would be more than offset by the cheaper shoes, harness and other leather products he uses which would be made possible by the removal of the duty on hides. JOURNAL ENTRIES In married' life the parlance of the sea prevails. A man is a mate for his wife but he' the captain. When a girl says she dearly loves house work the chances are that her folks have a few servants around. Occupying a prominent place amonig the enthusiastic pedestrians are those folks who cannot afford horses and carriages or autos. When a girl shows a predilection for sitting- in a darkened parlor with her steady, that s not necessarily a sign that the -light hurts her eyes. The man who passes considerable time each day cranking up an auto mobile would probably kick if he was asked to devote the same atten tion to turning a grindstone. JAYHAWKER JOTS The Hutchinson News reports that a big Jack rabbit Crop in western Kansas is assured for tms year. Haskell institute will indulge in a week's celebration, beginning Jun 10, n honor of its twenty-nith anniver sary. Among the new daily newspapers In Kansas is the Marysville Daily News. The publishers are George T. Smith sons, succcess to tnem. Rush county's school superintendent is out with an ultimatum that no teachers from outside counties will get local certificates until all of the Rush county teachers have jobs. Commenting on the statement of Dr. Crumbine that a fly causes more deaths than a battleship, the Ottawa Herald sayes: "Let a progressive government, then, swat the battleship and launch the fly." The Beloit Times thinks the Garden City Telegram and the Hutchinson News ought to ask the baseball umpire to enlighten them on the dried egg proposition over wnicn tney nave Deen worrying consiaeramy oi late. The Belleville Freeman says that when a man in that town appears with trousers that are baggy at the knees it does not follow that he was converted at the recent revival. It is the Free man's opinion that he has probably been digging dandelions. A report is going the rounds of the Kansas papers that a Salina church raised a purse of $50 for a European trio for its pastor. This wiu pay nis way on a nice little side trip alter he orets to Europe. Perhaps the kind of a European trip the church members had in mind. A Garden City man who used a har ness tug on his wife has been given twenty-five days in jail. The Emporia Gazette thinks this will give him plentv of time to read up on the Gar. den City Telegram's admonitions for the exclusive use of tugs and hames on the sandhills road. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchjson Globe. Every owner of an orchard or melon patch hates boys. What a lecturer needs is a good agent, not a good lecture. i Employers don t pay enough; em ployes don't work enough. Nothing manes a doctor quite so maa as to call him "mister." People generally charge a man with being a bigger fool than he really is. How many times a day do you com mend? How many times during a day do you find fault? A minister has harder work getting bis salary than anyone else; but he has easier work earning It. Those on the inside of the house forget all about the one holding the horse for them on the outside. What will it profit a man to behave in all other particulars, and then be feared because he talks too much? As people get older, and see real trouble, they wonder that they ever cried because rain fell on a picnic. The hands a man meets in the course of a day's journey, are held out in two ways: either begging, or aouDiect-inio a fist. The men always enjoy hearing of some woman who was told she must undergo a surgical operation or die, -and. who got well without it. It ipleases a woman reader to nave it said of the heroine, that "her sur roundings are not in keeping with her air of refinement and culture. If you eat too much, you haven t a great deal or room to preacnx temper ance. The crowded stomach is as de structive as the booze-addled brain. One of the surprising things of life is the number of opportunities accord ed a man every day of going into his pocKet in order that he may give some thing. REFLECTIONS OP A BACHELOR. IFrom the New York Press.! The reason a man might as well make love to a girl is she thinks he is doing it anyhow. A maa couldn't be good-humored at breakfast if he could make a lot of money that way. One of the things that frets a man most is how hard it Is for him to edu cate his wife in things he doesn t un derstand himself. The thing that appeals to a woman about neighborhood scandal is how she can believe it s true when she knows it isn't. The first thing a man who gets some money tries to do is to show how smart he is at something In which he Will lose it. KANSAS COMMENT DEDICATED 240 CHURCHES. Rev. Mr. Kelly has been a member of the Methodist church for 64 years, and in its ministry for 44 years. He has served all four of the South Kansas conference presiding elder districts as presiding elder, and has held the pas torates in the First churches of prac tically all the principal towns of the south and east central sections of the state, including Emporia, Ottawa. I Fort Scott. WlnMt WinflolJ W Fort Scott, Wichita. Winfield and Cof ieyvine. i- He was a mamhfir of th old Tfnnnns conference, when it included all of Kansas, and was at Ottawa when the division into districts came. He was at Wichita when that section went Into the Southwest conference, and he went with that assignment until transferred to Emporia and back into the South Kansas conference. Kev. Mr. Kellv has been ft. rmsher of church work. He got business in a business way, while looking after the spiritual welfare of his field. He took to CofCeyvllle to this conference session a showing that every minister in his district had his- salary paid up an un usual condition, as even those outside the circle of church work know and a showing that the various departments of church business had all made ad vancement in the past year. It was while presiding elder of the Fort Scott district that Rev. Mr. Kelly accomplished results that western Methodism still talks of. In the four years of his service he built 35 churches, built 14 parsonages, and had 11 other church buildings under way wnen he turned the district over to his successor. Not long ago the Christian Advocate contained the remarkable story of a campaign in which Bishop McCabe Joined Rev. Kelly in the lat ter's field, when 17 churches were dedi cated, seven church cornerstones were laid, and the debts of eight churches paid off in 15 days' time. Rev. Mr. Kelly has dedicated free of encum brance about 240 churches in the state of Kansas. He dedicated the first Methodist church in the territory of Oklahoma, at the then little settlement of Oklahoma City. He built and dedi cated the first chapel built in the Philippine islands by either a regular or a volunteer army chaplain. In his tnree ana a half years service of pre siding elder of the Emporia district he created more than one-third of the church property, and nearly one-fourth of that in the Independence district is credited to. his. two years of service there. Rev. Mr. Kelly came to the church work from an army service which got mm a discharge written by Secretary of War Stanton himself, specifying wounds In battle as the cause of re tirement. He entered the war with an Illinois regiment, serving some two years and a half, and was shot in the fighting In the battle of Dallas. He spent some time in the hospital and left that Institution on crutches. When the Spanish war broke out Rev. Mr. Kelly entered the service as chaplain and passed through the Philippine campaigns In that capacity. He is now on the retired list of the United States army, coming .to the Ottawa district of his church four years ago on his re tirement from the military service. Ottawa Herald. MAKING POLITICAL JOBS. At a time when the country Is wor ried by a deficit, It would seem that congress would attempt retrench ment, as a railroad would under the circumstances, and lop off a few of many needless Jobs. It would seem that' way, at least, if you knew nothing about congress. Just what the last session of congress did In this Juncture was to add 3,877 fed eral offices to the government pay roll. It will be strange, indeed, if the present, session, called to settle the tariff controversy and nothing more, doesn t add a few to the num ber. Indeed, there has already been talk or a commission to make leisurely study of the very matter congress was called to settle. Too much government work is done in the political campaigns, to be paid for in future jobs. Atchison Globe. FROM OTHER PENS CLOTHES. Mere man has been consistently and earnestly poking fun at woman because of the vagaries which fash- Ion has Imposed upon her. Latterly, this has been more marked, perhaps, than' in the olden days when the funny fellows who write paragraphs, figuratively, wore out the. hoop skirts and the big balloon sleeves. Of late much merry laughter has been expended over the woman of the pa tella shape and the peach basket headgear. It is thoroughly con vulsing. Woman is such a queer sight, togged out to represent an animated mushroom. But what of man and his attire? Is the laugh to be on one corner o fthe mouth? Does not the shoe on the other foot pich a little. Those strange shoes of the emerald hue. And what of all the other green things he dons that give him the appearance of a string bean at a little distance, if he chances to be of a- lean and hungry build? Consider for a moment the "swell dresser" who swings up the avenue, his sack coat extending to the region of the patella, two or three buttons the fraction of an inch apart, holding it together, the trous ers, turned half way to. the knee, as though reaching upward to meet tne coat, and themselves bellying like a rair of balloons. consider in diagonal cut of the pockets and the curious bands and braids about his cuffs Is he not a sightly figure? Pittsburg Post. SPANISH SUFFRAGE, That the Spanish government should be more solicitous than oth ers in regard to the citizen's exercise of the suffrage may seem anomalous nevertheless, the anomaly is a mat ter of fact, a compulsory voting law, applying to municipal elections hav ing just been put in force throughout the kingdom. Under this act all male adults of legal age are required to vote unless physically unable. Fail ure to comply with the law entails public censure, increase of taxes, and in the case of an officeholder a de duction from his salary, and, should the offense be repeated, forfeiture of office. It is the evident purpose of this measure to raise the standard of citizenship and thus strengthen the basis of- government and, while the means used are drastic, there can be no question of the need of some such radical reform. Spain has suffered sorely from indifferent government and from the irresponsibility of the electorate and it is a matter of self preservation that she should establish order In her political affairs before it is everlastingly too latev Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph- NOON. -:i:.i.

THE EVENING STORY Mrs. Have and Mrs. Havenot. (By Agnes Dillon.) Mrs. Lewis Adelbert Sirhms paused a moment as the automobile deposit- ea ner on the walk before a flat building that, to-say the least, was battered though pathetically respect able looking. r "Dear me!" she said, faintly. Then she turned sharply on the impertur bable driver. "Do you mean to say," she asked rather fretfully, "that this is iio itosemere court?" The same." said the hired driver. Two twenty-five, please!" Aa Mrs. Simms "opened the elabor ate gold purse she carried she was conscious of a bewildered surprise. Of course she had known- Carrie had not married wealth but Carrie's letters in the years during which they had not seen eacn otner. naa been so cheerful! How any woman could be cheerful living on this little side street was be yond Betty Simms. fatill bewildered and holding her trailing skirts daintily she entered the building and another surprise met her. There was no elevator and Mrs. Lewis Adelbert Simms was used to having elevators wnen she needed them. Ap parently there was nothing to do but to cilmD. and to the fourth floor, too. Each step added to her amazement. It was impossible to picture Carrie as harassed by poverty. In their schooldays she had been one of the regal -creatures, the mere sight of whom called up visions of ermine and old lace, of lackeys and gold coin. They had all been sure Carrie would marry a millionaire. When she did marry she wrote Betty Sims, who had maeed married' a millionaire, much to every- one's surprise, being a small, quiet, demure little creature of no apparent brilliance one of her char acteristlo letters. Mother is furious." Carrie wrote cheerfully, "because Tom 'isn't rich. I can't make her see we shall be far too busy just being happy; to have the mere matter of money, count. As for that, some day Tom will be rich. He has the brains." And this was all Tom's brains had done for Carrie in six rears! When she had written Carrie she would pass through her town and wanted to look her up-the prompt reply and Invita tion to luncheon had not mentioned those three flights of stairs. Perhaps Carrie was so used to them she had not thought. Mrs. -Simms pressed' the button beside the door., There was a clatter of feet down in the Inside hall and a woman's voice in laughing protest, and the door opened to precipitate a small-sized avalanche of small boy arid barking, woolly dog almost Into the astonished arms or the caller. Behind the ava lanche stood Carrie. Betty at last!" she cried. "An thony, let the lady in! Take Sub away. We call the dog Substitute, be cause he s such a ridiculous imitation of a real heartv dog." Mrs. Simms found herself drawn by her friend across the tiny hall into the living room and there the two took a eood look at each otner. Car rie, the reeal Carrie, stood clad in a blue and white wash shirt-waist suit that would not be injured by entry into the kitchen. Above it the old brilliant, eager face, thinner, with hints of lines and with its Interested, searching brown eves looked down as of old on Betty Simms in her Paris wrap and her trailing gown. There was a compas sion in Betty's eyes and shone forth unknown to her, ana came laugnea her old gay laugh. "You paid at least $40 for that love of a hat, Betty," she said, "but perhaps you won't mind taking it off and laying it on my i.tu oea. "It's a bird of paradise," said Bet ty, mechanically, as she struggled with the hatpins. The dresser silver was the same Carrie had had at school, with no additions. The dresser scarf was only hemstitched scrim and the bedspread, though dainty, was or a flowered silkoline that Betty knew in her soul had been picked up ror few cents a yard. Still dazed, she followed her hos tees back Into the little parlor. In suite of its smallness, it looked bare Not a superfluous article adorned Its walls. The mantel boasted a single ornament, a jar of quaint pottery. The books on the table, however, were plentiful, the single small rug on the waxed floor was an Oriental. Through the arclv the dining room table show' ed weathered oak, artistic, but the cheapest of" woods. "Tell me all about yourself, Betty, Vor hnstpsia was begging.
