HURTSJBIG ONES Cream Bate Case Decided by the Railroad Board. Cuts Tariff on the Short Haul Only. UP GOES THE LONG. This Will Operate Against the Large Creameries. But It Is Thought Action Will Not Cripple Them. The state railway board today de cided the famous cream rate hearing which has been before that body for several weeks, in favor of the small creameries of the state, which is to say the low rates for the short haul will be put in force and the higher rates for the long haul. This new schedule will set against the big creamery com panies like the Continental of this city, as most of their cream is shipped from points x located on the long haul and their territory practically covers the state. However, the raise on the long haul was very slight and the new rates will not hurt the big creameries in the Fame proportion as it is intended to help the little creameries. Evidence was introduced at the four days' hearing before the railroad board a short time ago to show that the creamery trust had gained a toot hold in this state to the detriment of the small creameries and the decrease of the creamery business generally compared with some of the northern states where the little fellows cover the state with their creameries. But the Continental and other big cream eries in Kansas were represented by counsel and attacked the evidence be fore the board and that secured from the United States department of ani mal Industry as unreliable and made a showing that the creamery business In this state was being conducted in b most satisfactory manner for both the farmer and the consumer and has Increased largely in recent years un der the present rates and manner of conducting the business. The Continental Creamery of To peka. one of the big institutions of this city, will be affected in a measure by the increased rate on the long haul, but it is not thought that the Increase will be large enough to handicap or cripple the institution. ON WAY TO LANSING. Negro Who Robbed Farmer's House Tarries in County Jail. A negro who calls himself Thomas Turner is stopping over at the coun ty Jail on his way to Lansing, Kansas, where he will make a protracted visit. Mr. Turner had the misfortune to break into a house near Wakarusa and steal a few articles.-Later he had the misfortune to meet Lon Sauls deputy sheriff. Monday afternoon the sheriff's of fice was notified that a negro had rob bed a house near Wakarusa, and was presumably headed for Topeka. Dep uties George Ward and Lon Sauls went out to look for him. They had a description of the stolen property, given by J. H. Greaser, the farmer who was robbed. After leaving the city. Ward drove along the wagon road, and Sauls walked down the rail road track. Two miles this side of Pauline Sauls met a colored person who acted suspiciously. He held his coat over his arm, as though conceal ing something. Sauls decided that he had met the person he sought, and presented a huge revolver. Then he searched the suspect. He found the negro had a loaded and cocked re volver in his hand and under his coat Another revolver the one he stole from the house, was in his hip pock et, and a razor, acquired in the same manner, was in another pocket. Meanwhile, he was wearing the shirt and cuff buttons he secured in the same house. In fact, he was caught with the goods, and no chance for mistake. The negro began to prevar icate volubly when Sauls captured him, and has been keeping it up ever since. Turner stopped at Greaser s house and asked for something to eat. He got it. and then hid in the woods nearby until the owner was gone, when he let himself into the house by prying out a window, and stole a revolver, a razor, a shirt and the cuff buttons thereto. The revolver which Be endeavored to use on Sauls was evidently his own property. The of ficers think the negro is a professional thug, and that he contemplated hold ing up and robbing Officer Sauls, who was walking down the track without nny visible official marks on him. Sauls' handiness with his six-shooter probably saved him from the embar rassing position of the hunter hunted. HENRY ALLEN HERE. Wichita Editor Complains That Com missioners Assessed Htm Too high. Henry Allen, publisher of the Wichita Beacon, and well known over the west as a brilliant public speaker, spent the day in Topeka and while here appeared before the state tax commission in an effort to get the local assessment on his news paper plant lowered from the figures arbitrarily placed thereon by the board of county commissioners. The Beacon is assessed this year at $100,000, a sum many times greater than any newspaper plant in Kansas. Kow while Mr. Allen appreciates the compliment paid his paper by his friends, the commissioners, whom he has been roasting lately in hi3 col umns for unbusiness like acts in conduct of county affairs, yet he feels that the price he must ray for this fleeting fame is rather high. The Kagle. the oldest paper in Wichita, and which had a lond lead in local prestige until Mr. Allen took charge of the Beacon, is assessed at only $30,000. Mr. Allen's argument before the tax commission today was to the ffect that the local taxing officials were, plainly governed by prejudice or malice In assessing his newspaper plant so high as to be out of nil pro portion with the other newspapers of the state. He argued brilliantly as he always does, and the board has taken the matter under consideration; SUGAR FALLS $8. Decline Is Attributed to Fear of Gov ernment Inquiry. New York, June 15. There was an abrupt decline of $8 a .share in Ameri can Sugar Refining stock during the first hour of trading on the stock ex change today. The drop in price was attributed to the litigation of the com pany recently and to fears of a rigorous government inquiry into its affairs. At one time the stock fell from 127 to 123 on one sale, but later there was a rally of 4. The break in this stock affect ec practically the entire list and the whole market declined. BORAH'S NEW STAND. He Comes Out in Favor of Independ ence for the Filipinos. Washington, June 15. Senator Borah in the senate today declared himself in favor of giving the Filipinos an inde pendent government. He said he pro posed to cast his votes for "loosening the bands which tie the Philippine peo ple to the United States government. The declaration aroused immediate at tention being apparently unexpected. "When I speak that sentiment," con tinued Mr. Borah, "I am aware that I express a view contrary to that of the president, for whose opinion and ser vices to that great people. I have, a profound regard. Nevertheless I have a conviction that the duty of the peo ple of the United States is to prepare this people xor supporting an inde pendent government." MUST tiOVER THE FRUIT. Food Inspectors File Complaint Against Anderson-Armstrong Co. The stata pure food officers "have filed a complaint against the Anderson Armstrong Commission company and Sam Ribelin, their driver, for hauling eleven crates of cherries about without having screens over the crates. 'Up and down the streets, says tne inspector, "blow3 the dust and dirt of the city fully 80 per cent animal ex cretion to settle upon the uncovered fruit. Flies are one minute upon this filth, the next upon the friut, carrying germs of disease to be delivered to the many parts or the city. The law is explicit in its attention to the screening of transported crates of fruits and another item in the pure food inspection is commenced to oe enforced.. with dispatch. BOARD OF FIVE Will Investigate Packing House Con ditions In St. Louis.'' Washington, June IB. Determined to ascertain the conditions existing in the East St. Louis packing houses as the result of the charges of former Inspector J. F.

These are Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, George P. McCabe, solicitor of the department and an assistant attorney general from the department of justice.

Heinze, and San ford Robinson, Heinze's counsel, charging conspiracy and an attempt to obstruct the administration of jus tice by spiriting away the books of the United Copper company while the company was under a federal scrutiny and also by interfering with United States marshals in the performance of their duties. SETTLE DOG QUESTION. Railroads Trying to Discourage Canine Transportation. Chicago, June 15. Western railroads, hearing rumors -that the interstate commerce commission is about to reg ulate dog railroad traffic, have decided to take time by the forelock and are considering the advisability of making a charge for canine transportation in the hope of discouraging this class of travel. The transportation of dogs and corpses are the two questions never settled by. the railroads, but which are the source of more trouble and vexa tion than any other proDiems to pas senger men.

Worry Orer Financial and Fam ily Troubles the Cause. LEFT NO WORD BEHIND Body Was Cold When Found by i the Son. No Inquest Will Be Held by the Coroner., Despondent over her failing health, her financial troubles and the failure of her son Paul to give her the proper at tention and support, Mrs. Olive Brew ington, age 67 years, committed suicide last night by hanging herself from the rafters of the summer kitchen at her home, 1132 Morris avenue. She left nothing behind -to reveal the oause of her deed. The body was found this morning by the son and it has been taken into the hands of the undertaker for burial. Mrs. Brewington was a widow,' having been married three times, first to Jas. Piper, who died after, the birth of a son, Charles. Then to William Brew ington, who also died after a few vears of married life.- The last marriage to a certain John Stone ended very un happily in the divorce courts Stone be ing addicted to the drink, habit and re fusing to support his wife. It is thought that these matrimonial troubles also contributed toward the final terrible deed of the woman. When Mrs. Brewington was -found this morning she was hanging from the rafters of the summer kitchen which is Just behind the main kitchen of the house. It is closed with close lattice work and is where the woman always did her washing. She had been washing yesterday and the tubs and different articles were around her. She had ap parently stood upon a small box used for placing the washing tubs in a better position and tying a rope around her neck she kicked the box from beneath her feet and in a very few minutes she had strangled to death. She was not fcund until the body was cold this morning at 6 o'clock when her son Paul, 20 years of age, came down stairs. He arose from bed thinking that some thing was. the matter as his mother was not busily engaged in her house hold duties down stairs. He hunted around the house and finally met the ghastly sight out in the summer kitch en.. Lived With Sons. Mrs.' Brewington lived in the hie house at 1133 Morris avenue alone with her two sons. Paul Brewington and Charles Piper. She has lived in this house for the last fifteen vears and she is well known by all the resi- aents or Lowman Hill. Nothing but good was heard of her this morning when the State Journal reporter in quired as to the probable cause of the suicide.. She was a hard working woman and has always been very well liked. She was kind hearted and would do -anything., for anyone in trouble. The neighbrs tell many in cidents of her charitable inclinations and her many helps to the poor. The three reasons for the suicide of the woman -are all claimed-separately by different neighbors. Some- said this morning that she has been in very poor health and has 'worried over this for many months. Mrs. 'ivr? -r.f VST y I If J A; fJ7 fe::r. I 1RS.?QULI OK THE JIES. HOWARD GOULD ON The marital difficulties of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gould, which are- new being adjudicated in a New York court, first began to attract attention about three years ago when the couple separated. Mrs. Gould prior to her marriage to Howard Gould in 1898 was Miss Katharine Clemmons, an actress. Her original stage name was Viola Dayo. For a time she was connected with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. The names of Colonel William F. Cody and Dustin Farnum, an actor, have been frequently mentioned in connection with the case. Mrs, Gould is suing for a legal separation from her husband. On the witness stand she admitted that she spent, on an average of $35,000 to HO.00G a year on dress and that from 1898 to 1906 her husband had given her about $776,000. In court Mrs, Gould wears deep mourniBg in memory of her father, who died about a year aeo, Brewington had never, complained to her neighbors' thafcrshe. has been troubled over' her- health' -but those more intimate' with- her say that she has worried considerably". She is known to' have been in poor circumstances- financially Her home and her farm a few miles west of the city have gradually been eaten away with other expenses and it is said that she owns practically nothing at this time. Grocery delivery boys-In the neighborhood say; that Mrs. Brewing ton complained to ;them of her large expenses and the trouble, she was hav ing to meet them all. The prevailing sentiment however, is that Mrs. Brewington---has grown almost frantic, over the actions of her son,' Paul. It is said that Paul has never helped support the home as he should and those, who know him claim that he has paid Tittle, attention to the comforts of his mother. He. is a smart young man. and is always at some kind or work nut he never seems to "stick," say the neighbors.' It is known" that the "mother had worried night and day over the doings of her son and some are of the opinion that this is the real cause of her suicide. Mrs. Brewington is survived by her two sons, Charles Piper, and Paul Brewington. Also married daugh ters Mrs. Delia Henry; Mrs. Laura Wise and Mrs. Oflie -Hogg: -All of the relatives have been called to Topeka and will, arrive some time today. Mrs. Brewington belonged to the Lowman Hill chapel at -one time but has not attended services for a num ber of years. No inquest will be held..

TWC ONLY ONEjSIIARGE Gould Divorce Case Will Be De termined on Abandonment. Court Eliminates AH Other Con siderations From Suit. THEY HAVEN'T SPOKEN Since July, 1906, the Plaintiff Has Declared. Communications Have' Since Been Through Messengers. New York, June 15. Abandonment was the only cliarge upon which Mrs. Katharine Clemmons Gould's suit for separation from her husband, Howard Gould, rested when the hearing of the case, was resumed today. The charges of cruelty and nonsupport, which were a part of Mrs.. Gould's original com- piaini, navmg been stricken out by Jus tice Dowling on the motion of counsel for Mr. Gould.. Today's evidence was confined to the nearing.on abandonment nnlv Mrs Gould declared that she has not spoken to Mr. Gould since Julv. 1906. when she had complained to him about the conduct of Maurice Malloy, whom Mr. Gould had put in charge of Castle oouia, the Long Island, home of Mr. ana Mrs. Gould. Subseauent'v. Mrs Gould said, her. husband sent Elijah W. aeus to ner to say that Mr. Gon rl would return to' her if she would agree to certain conditions, or he would ar range either for a separation or divorce. These proposals were rejected by Mrs. Gould. Howard Gould's Income. Late yesterday George J. Gould, one of the trustees of the Gould estate, was called to the stand by Mrs. Gould's lawyer. "Under the will you set aside a part iur nDwara.uouia?" he was asked. ."We have never divided the estate. said George Gould quietly. ."It is still in the hands of the executors." "Yet under the terms of the will Howard is pntitled to one-sixth of the estate "Yes.". "What was the value of the Jav Gould estate in January, 1906?" asked Jrs. Gould s attorney. "Eighty million dollars," said George Gould, in the same tone in which he might have spoken of eighty cents. "Then Howard Gould is in receipt of tne income from one-sixth of that amount?" "Yes. The principal is held in trust during the life of the six children. He has a life interest in one-sixth of the property." Mr. Shearn..; asked what Howard Gould's income' had been since 1903. George Gould fished a typfewritten memorandum out of .his coat pocket and read this interesting .income schedule: "Nineteen hundred- and two.- $725,000; 1903. $782,000; 1904, $706,000; 1905, $742, 000; 1906, $777,000; 1907, $748,000." Some one who was quick at figures remarked that in the eight years of their married life Mrs. Gould received all told about the income of one year Her Personal Habits. Under the ruling of Justice Dowling, Howard Gould 'was given permission to present evidence to support charges that Mrs. Gouid was addicted to the use of intoxicants and that she had humiliated him before his guests. Before the resumption of the case to- IHSTlFf TARNUMl MEN MENTIONED IN HEB day a letter from Mrs. Charlotte Nlcoll Weston, sister of Delancy Nicoll, Mr. Gould's attorner, was given out, deny ing that Mrs. Gould had given her a dress. Mrs. -Weston said she had never seen Mrs. Gould. When the letter was shown to Mrs. Gould, she said: "I did not give the gown to her per sonally, but she was one of, the ac tresses who received a box of gowns that I sent to one of the theaters." Maurice Malloy, superintendent of the Castle Gould estate, was the first witness today called in the interest of Mr. Gould. Mr. Shearn, for Mrs. Gould, objected to some of the ques tions asked, him by Mr. Watson, asso ciate counsel for Mr. Gould, but Justice Dowling ruled that it was proper to have the habits of the plaintiff, Mrs. Gould, proved. Malloy said he was given control of the Castle Gould estate. Went to Europe With Her. "Did you go to Europe with Mrs. Gould?" "Yes, I went on the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse with Mrs. Gould t and Mr. Sells on February 6." "How soon after you went to Castle Gould did you see Mr. and Mrs. Gould on the estate?" "Early in June, 1906." "What was the first conversation you had with Mrs. Gould at Castle Gould?", There waa an objection to this ques tion, which the court sustained: "At what time at Castle Gould did you find Mrs. Gould under the influence of in toxicating liquors?" "I object," said Mr.- Shear- "and 1 want to argue this point. If the state ments show that she was under the in fluence of liquor it would not give him i any justification for abandonment." Mr. Shearn then cited several author ities and a number of precedents and there was considerable argument on the question. Malloy mentioned an occasion when he said Mrs. Gould reprimanded him and then walked away, saying her walk was unusual and that she fell against the window and "ricochetted against the bannister." He said she had only a-little while previously ordered -him to go outside and then had told him to come and sit on a lounge beside her. At this point Mr. Shearn interposed with a motion to have "all that stricken out except 'alien and 'in solent puppy,' creating laughter in which Mrs. Gould -joined Malloy was allowed to tell of oc casions when Mrs. Gould, he said, had applied abusive epithets to him. She was under the influence of intoxicants in his opinion on these occasions. "Alien and insolent puppy," were some of the epithets, Malloy testified Mrs. Gould applied to him. Malloy said as manager of Castle Gould he received an annual salary of $10,000 from Mr. Gould, but this did not in fluence his attitude towards the prin cipals in the present suit. He gave, a long list of estates by which he had been employed in .England. Seven Bottles in Two Weeks. -Other employes of the Gould estates were called in continuation of de fense's efforts to show that Mrs. Gould's conduct had -furnished justifi cation for her husband's abandonment of her. Alfred Richards of this city, employed as steward at Castle Gould in the summer of 1905, who had charge of the butler's pantry, testified that on several;' different occasions-he had seen Mrs. Gould under the influ ence of liquor. At one period.' he said, Mrs. Gould re mained in her room for two weeks and the witness supplied her with liquors morning, noon and night. The liquors were delivered to her maid. In the morning two cocktails were frequently served; at luncheon light wines, later whisky and soda and in the evenings, as a rule, two drinks of brandy. In the course of two weeks the contents of seven bottles of brandy in all were sent to Mrs. Gould's room, the witness testified. MERCURY DOWN TO 48.

Belmont Tells Wo men of the Country How They Can Obtain Suffrage in 18 Months. JUST REFUSE TO WED That, She Declares, Would Bring Men to Time. She Thinks Most of Them Hate Men, Anyway. New York. June 15. "Women would get the suffrage in 18 months if every woman would pledge herself not to marry until suffrage was granted. 1 think every woman suffragist should pledge herself not to marry out' of the cause, just as every member of the Salvation Army has to take an oath not to marry outside the Army." In these and other statements "Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont reiterated her recently avowed purpose to assist the cause of woman suffrage In this coun try. 'I have been In favor of woman suf frage air my life," she continued. "I do not understand how any woman who respects herself and other women can feel otherwise. But it waa nnl aftor observing the methods and achievements oi tne jingush suffragettes that I saw how I might be able to take an active part in the fight you know it mav come to actual fighting in England; yes, to wanare between men and wo men battling for their rights. i minK tnat If most women over IS told the truth they would say that they hate men. But of course under the present unjust and unequal con ditions they conceal their feelings. How many wives would dare to tell their husbands what they really think or tnem? How long would the hus bands live with them if they did? What is a home today? Often the loneliest place on earth. A place from which the husband goes away and leaves his wife alone, from which, the children go away and leave the moth er alone. Continuing, Mrs. Belmont said "Woman is the husband's servant, whom at first perhaps he pays rather lavishly; but year after year her at traction for him grows less. The American idea that-ft is degrading to the wife to work after marriage is the cause of much unhappiness. Every woman should have a trade or a pro fession, and she should continue to work at it after she becomes a wife.' I have been and am interested in many young women who work for a living. And when they are married I have al ways urged and. In many cases, pre vailed upon them to -continue at -work. They have their separate bank ac counts and bank their salaries. Often the husbands have -wanted to borrow it from them to go into business. But I have sought always to prevent their doing this. I tell them they must save their money for themselves." FEUD WAR BREAKS OUT Two Killed and Five Wounded in a Street Fight. Meadville, Miss., June 15. -Two men are. dead, two were perhaps fatal ly wounded and three others slightly injured, due to a bloody street battle here,' waged by parties to a bitter feud that had been previously marked with tragedy. As a result of the affair, feeling here runs high and state troops were rushed to Meadville from Brook Haven to guard against possible rioting. Those killed were: Dr. A.M. Newman, clerk of the chancery court of Franklin county, and S!!as G. Reynolds. Dr. Lennox Newman, a son of one of the slain men, is believed to have been fatally Injured, and Herbert Applewhite, an attorney, may not re cover, as the result of his wounds. Emmett Newman, brother of Lennox, was shot in the leg. The three were taken to Natchez for medical treat ment, after having been placed under arrest. Two men named Boyd and Parr, alleged to have been involved in the affray, were slightly wounded, but escaped. Li. P. Prlchard, a brother of Corne lius Prlchard, whom Dr. Newman killed seven weeks ago, was arrested tragedyv The killing of Prlchard by Newman was the first bloodshed to mark a feud that had existed between the two men, relatives and frtenrs for months. This bitter factionalism had its Incep tion in a political campaign In which, Newman and Prlchard were opposing candidates. Newman was tried a few weeks ago for Prichard's murder and was acquitted. This served to cause even more bitter feeling. v A CHANCE FOR THAW. He Is Granted a Writ of Habeas Corpus Returnable Thursday. New York, June 15. Harry K. Thaw may have another chance to prove his sanity in his fight for re lease from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane to which, he was committed a year ago last February, after his trial- for killing Stanford White. Justice William J. Gaynor of Brooklyn of the appellate division of the supreme court has granted a new writ of habeas corpus, returnable be fore Justice Mills In the supreme court at White. Plains, N. Y., on Thursday, June 17, at 10:80 a. m. The writ was Issued on application of Charles Morschauser of Pough keepsle, Thaw's attorney. No affidavit accompanied the wrtt. It simply commands the superintend ent of the asylum to produce Thaw in court and show cause why he should not be given his liberty. The state hospital authorities and the state lunacy commission will doubtless oppose the new proceed--ings, as they have done every step ef Thaw in the fight to obtain his liberty within the last year.-

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1909. DID N0TPLAY IT. Topeka Took Monday's Game by Forfeit. Pueblo Manager Led His Team Off the Field. TRIED TO BOSS UMPIRE Demanded That Glen al Yin Stand Behind the Plate. Ordered From Diamond Refus ed to Let Team Play. Yesterday's game between Pueblo and Topeka came to an abrupt ter mination before it had been started, Manager Hogriever taking his charges from the field, when he was ordered from the field for an argument with Umpire Glenalvin. The Indians re fused to play, and Umpire Glenalvin awarded the game to Topeka. The action of Manager Hogriever occasioned no surprise among the fans who happened to overhear a lit tle conversation between Hogriever and Glenalvin before the game start ed. The Pueblo was sore from the results of Sunday's -game in which he was given his extradition papers. This always carries with it a fine of ten dollars. Just before the game started Glenalvin asked the scrappy manager for his remittance. Whereupon the bellicose individual engaged in some fiery oratorical flights telling His TJm plrical Majesty a few things which the laws of society bar from publica tion. Manager Hogriever, Who Took His Team Oft the Field Yesterday. Hogriever did not want to pay his fine. He argued and crabbed about it and then crabbed and argued some more. Profanity came as easy as mosquitoes in a jungle. It was a dis graceful exhibition to say the least. It was Ladles' day and some of the fair fans were In the stands where his conversation was plainly audible. Glenalvin paid but little attention, merely insisting on having the money. Hogriever was finally Informed that if the money wasn't coming within a minute he would not allow Hogriever to play. And he also advised him to cut out his rapid fire line of conver sation, intimating that he could start it after the game was called when the umpire would have authority to deal With him properly. Finally the fine was paid. It was a little pink paper check which was drawn in favor of President O Neill, but across the bottom was written "This is done because of Glenalvin, rotten umpire. Hogriever demanded a receipt, but this Glenalvin refused, as the worth of the check was not entirely clear In his mind. So much for the prelimin- ery battle, In which the odds were a little in favor of Glenalvin. Promptly at 3:45, the scheduled time for starting the game, Glenalvin announced the batteries and called "Play ball." Hogriever was the first batter for Pueblo. He took his .bat and started to the umpire. In his hand he carried a piece of white pa per with some typewritten characters embellished on it. This he claimed was a mandatory order from O'Neill covering this particular case, and compelling his umps to work behind the catcher on balls and strikes when the bases were not occupied. The pa per, however, was merely a form of general instructions Issued to all urn Pires, and precisely similar to one which Glenalvin had In his pocket at the time. Glenalvin read it, handed It back to Pigriever and told him to go to bat. Hoggy refused and Glenalvin held his watch for a minute and said "Sooey, Soo-ey, which was an order for Hog gy to take the bench and send some one else to bat in his place. Hoggy squealed back a reply but walked to the bench. He ordered the players to pack their bats and hit the moving van back for the hotel. Glenalvtn warned him of the consequences, but In his flery repartee Hoggy blurted back an unprintable answer.

And he didn't. Umpire Glenalvin walked to the plate, and doffing his cap to the ground, announced the forfeiture of the game by a score of 9 to 0 before Hendrix had thrown a single balL xne action or Manager Hogriever will cost the men who are putting up for the Pueblo charity team, the hand some sum of $100, as specified by the constitution and by-lay3 of the West ern league. This amount must be paid within ten days, unless the board of di rectors of the league pay unusual at tention to Pueblo's claims. President O'Neill last night in a statement to the Associated Press-said that he would take no formal action in the matter until he had heard from the Topeka officials by mail. Managers Hogriever and Cooley last night wired O'Neill their sides of the case, and have also mailed reports and President u jNeni snouid be able to pass on them tonight or tomorrow forenoon. In the meantime Glenalvin will continue to umpire in Topeka. It is hardly thought here that the contentions of Hogriever will carry any weight with the league's chief execu tive. The general instructions provide that the umpire shall judge decisions from any point which he desires, and merely suggest that he stand behind the plate when the bases are not oc cupied. Umpire Glenalvin is unable to do this. All his umpirical equipment was lost In a wreck on the way to To peka. He has ordered some more and means to stand behind the plate as soon as he can get the proper safe guards of protection to life and limbs. In this connection It might be noted that Jack Haskell, the chief of the Western league umpiring staff always calls his decisins from behind the pitcher. Umpire Glenalvin in discussing the af fair after the game said: "I might pos sibly have been wrong in standing be hind the pitcher, but if I was I never heard any rule to the contrary and I have been in baseball as long as Hogriever. Hogriever got oft on the wrong tack, of that there is no doubt. In case he objected to my standing where I did, the proper course for him to have taken and to have protected the Topeka club from the necessarv financial loss, would be to have filed a formal protest with me before the game. I would then have announced to the crowd that the game was played under protest, and it would have gone on, giving the crowd Its money's worth. and after that the Pueblo management could have taken it up with the league authorities. I may make my mistakes, but I am going to run the game, and all I ask is that there be one officer in the grounds and that the president of the league stands back of me. Then I will do what I think is right, and if any player on the home club or the visiting club Is Injuring the game by his pres ence, out he goes." Manager Hogriever wouldn't talk last night. He just peeved and raved. He Insisted that the newspapers and every official of the league was In a con spiracy to make life unpleasant for him, and to make his pathway a road of thorns and thistles. He said that he preferred to whisper his troubles into the friendly ear of Tip O'Neill, who would undoubtedly prove a sweet balm for all his troubles. The batteries for the game had been announced. Hendrix and Galgano were the opposing pitchers, and Hendrix gets credit for winning the game, and Gal gano gets into the official records as the losing pitcher. Manager Cooley was compelled to give out rain checks yesterday. It was hard luck for him. It was Ladles' day and all the ladies who Were admitted free got rain checks and Cooley will have to put up the money for it. Then there were the usual droves of small boys who leaped over the fence and came out through the gate, getting the tickets on the way opt. Manager Pigriever and his rabbits will be here -again tomorrow. Better come out and see them make the final run. O'NEUJj WILL- WAIT. To Take No Action TJntil He Receives Written Reports. Chicago, June 15. Norris L. O'Neill, president of the Western league, last night announced that he would take no action on Umpire Glenalvin's forfeit ing the Topeka-Pueblo game to Topeka until he had received a report of the affair by mail.

The papers over the circuit are en larging on a story printed In the Kansas City Journal one day last week about Cooley and Kling having a tnree nours' conference, while the To peka man was In Kansas City. The Pueblo papers see the light In it by in ferring that Kline will buv out Pu eblo. Other papers say that It means that Kling will buy the Pueblo club and transfer It to St. Joe. The truth of the matter Is this: Cooley is going to open up a smoke house and pool room In Topeka In a few weeks. Kling has an establishment in Kansas Citv. which Is one of the best. Cooley hasn't operated a place or this kind before. Johnny Kling is his friend, and natur ally the Topeka magnate sought the advice of the Chicago recalcitrant. Be fore going to Kansas City Cooley dldn t know much about the business. When he came back he had every detail at his tongue's end. And It is almost a cinch that nothing but the billiard bus iness was ai8cussed, for Cooley couldn t have learned what he did in such less than three hours. Incidentally Kling will be back in Chicago before long, possibly by July 1. Wichlta Beacon: "Ducky" Holmes Is worrying for fear Buck Freeman will get married. Let him, "Ducky. Buck has been mighty wild this spring, and a wife might tame him It is reported that Larry Milton has joined Little Rock. Pitcher Karsten. of Lincoln, -has been sold to the Quincy team in the Central Association. He wasn't quite ripe for Western League company and the sale followed. Lincoln has strings on him for he is expected to blossom into a winner some day. Lincoln got him from Denver. 'He was with the Springfield, Mo., team in the Western Association last season. Lincoln has also presented the yel low cord to Rothermel, a pitcher, who reported a few days ago, but who couldn't do much on account of an In jured ankle. Billy McDonough. Denver's catcher of last season, who is now with Fresno is trying to get back. McDonough has written to the management and if he is willing to play for the same salary he will probably get his Job back. The outlaws are showing symptoms of ex ploding. The Lincoln State Journal thinks that Swift, the big southpaw pitcher of the Denver team, .threw his arm away in that 17 Inning battle against Lincoln early in the season. The Jour nal supports its conclusions by the ar gument that he hasn't pitched a good game .since. Chick Autrey, the first baseman of the Omaha team last season, has been sold to Boston by Cincinnati, on a re fusal of Boston to waive. Chick was a sensation out here last season,' but didn't get much of a chance at Cincy. Hoblltzel has this job cinched. Autrey if he gets a chance may -do pretty good, with the Beaneaters. He had two chances at Cincinnati. Omaha sent him up there as an outfielder in 1907. In 1908 he came back to Omaha and work ed at first, getting another chance. He is one of Tom Hayden's finds, the lat ter disposing of him to Omaha for a song. Des Moines Tribune: Steve Melter, the former Highland Park college pitch er, seems to have the goods all right. He yesterday held Lincoln down to four hits. Melter is- a big fellow and if he does as well all season as he has started out to do he will be one of the best twirlers in the league. When he was in college here he was picked out as the best college pitcher in the state. He seemed to have about everything that a pitcher would need. Sandy Grlswold, of the Omaha World Herald, accounts for the slump of the Des Moines team, in the following manner: Heard it said that the reason that Des Moines does not plav more consistent ball than she has lately been showing is because there are two mem bers of the team who. consider them selves out of place in a minor league. A couple of them had a chance, but were returned labeled "not ripe." For get it, Artie, and you. too. Chink. There are ball players in the Western League, and right here In Omaha, at that, who can make you both look like village dunces. Tay Kensel, who was Bold to Water loo by the Pueblo team, has acquired his release from Waterloo and will go to the La Junta team in the Colorado State league. He wants to play In the region of Pueblo where the Sunville magnates can read accounts of his won derful deeds of valor on the La Junta battlefield. en T.imoi- nocnHp the fact 1UU. -I, 1 that Wichita is leading the.eague and has been at the head of the procession almost, continuously since the opening of the season, except during Its slurrtl In Des Moines nd Sioux City, few spOrting writers In the circuit am nick ing the Witches as pennant winners. Why they should not be selected ft navmg an even v chance with Omaha. Sioux Citv and Des Molnn f rr the championship is not apparent from" this angie. Holland s men It is true did not show any too much class In the fonf game series here, but the fact that it has completed a trip around the entire circuit and still maintains Its command ing position is Indication that It must be counted upon serious contender tor tne rag. Holland has collected a j team Very similar to that of the SioirafV City squad a year ago. It Is composed of only fair hitters, base runners who use good judgment on the sacks and a splendid Ditching staff. With Weaver tne club has one of the- headiest back stops in the league, and to top all Hol land is. a wise manager who takes ad vantage of every mistake of his op-r ponent. In Brennan, Smaner and Atchi son the Jobbers have a trio of twirlers hard to beat, and their effective work has made It possible for many games to be won. If the pitching staff con tinues to deliver the goods the Izsies should be in at the death- in Septem ber. Lincoln State Journal: We must give Dick Cooley's Topekans the credit for making the other fellows go at their best clip in order to win. The Denver Grizzlies, jumped onto the Cooley wig- giers ior is nits in one game the other day, but the Denver bunch could circle the sacks for only four runs. The Cool ers played the game without error. WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW: Newton at Hutchinson. Arkansas City at Great Bend. Strong City at Lyons. Wellington at McPherson. Minneapolis at Abilene. Belolt at Junction City. Ellsworth at Manhattan. Salina at Clay Center. ins central nansas league got a nice start yesterday. There were good crowds at all the games, and the in terest was great. This is a short sea- am. ot. tA f TC t1if.iitt will lrfthhlv do well. The Hutchinson News speaks of La Flambolse the "foolish little Abori gine." The reason for the adjective foolish is that he has fooled so many of the Hutchinson pitchers. Belolt has released Wilson and Hin man. Both were considered useless luggage. Dale is a new backstop signed by Manhattan. He comes from the Okla homa Normal team. McMahon who was released by Gramley at Clay Center has been uo ceeded by Fleck. Sallna Journal: Penqulte, who play ed left field for Gafford last year, was In Salina yesterday on his way home from New Mexico. Penqulte says that he has quit the game, but admitted he did not know how long he would make good his threat. He says that the Min neapolis team Is about the same as last year when it comes to strength with the exception of the pitching- force which is stronger. Bates, an Abilene castoff is playing short for Junction City and according to the Dickinson County News, be is making Abiiene sorry that he was turned loose. Hasty, a young Belleville lad who tried out with Junction was released a few days ago through his inability to hit. Sizemore, who formerly pitched for Oklahoma City and Hutchinson, Is now twirling with the Lyons team. Size more hasn't smoke enough to knock the ashes off a ten center ten feet away. The Twins have a new infielder. Waller, who is hitting he ball In a way that delights Manager Freese. The McPherson Republican says that a new pitcher is needed by Freese and a little better base running as well. Maxey, who has been slumping at Hutchinson, is coming back strong with the willow. He has made a num ber of hits during the past few days. TTiitr-hinaon has two new pitchers. Don Baumhart and Smith, a big one from Oklahoma, notn are expectea to do the work. Salina Journal: Belolt has naturally been doped as the weakest town In the leaarun. but the recent showing made by all of the teams in the league, would show that the Beloit bunch is about as strong as any. There is one thing about it and that Is, a team from a Hhnrt crass town always hits the ball and if Belolt does not do It this year, it will be an exception. Hutchinson Gazette: Thomas Camp bell the ball player, who has been Jail charged with holding up a gambling game four months ago, was released from custody this morning after pay ing the costs of the case.

At last has come a merciful con sideration of the average citizen in the making up of railway time-tables, and the Denver and Rio Grande romes "out boldly with the assertion that except to a railroad man or a few constant travelers the average railroad folder is but a trifle less com plicated than a Chinese puzzle. To the truth of this statement probably Pot a few of the laity who know by rxperience will lend their hearty sup port. "He that runs may" read" is the maxim which has been kept in view by the Denver and Rio Grande In planning of its latest folder, and the object has been to produce something which anyone who can read English can understand at a glance. One complete side of the folder is taken up by the eastbound schedules and the other side by the westbound tables.

TOO MUCH BUSINESS. Motor Car Service In California En tirely Too Successful: The new motor car which the Santa Fe railroad recently put in operation between San Bernardino and Los Angeles is proving too much of a success, according to the San Bernardino Sun. The Sun says -that the car has made so much business for the road that it will be taken off and a regular train substituted. Says the Sun: The officials of the Santa Fe are now seriously considering discontin uing the motor car between this city, Los Angeles and loop points and in stalling a regular steam train. This step has been made neces sary by the immense passenger busi ness which has been developed bv the motor car. Although the car is only uuui 10 carry it, people, for weeks it has been going into Los Antreles with 100 daily. On Saturdays and Sundays ana irequentiy aurine the week scores of people are turned away at ouiuons ueiween xnis city ana Los Angeles. On the return trip,' al though at the end of the run. it fre quently occurs that when San Ber nardino is reached a number of pas sengers have only been able to find standing room. On a regulation train the average passenger is somewnat wrathv when unable to find a seat but on the motor car the patrons of the road treat it more as a street car and offer no objection at having to stand. Jt has not as yet been decided where the motor car will be placed In the event of its discontinuance on the present run, although it is very probable that the Falhook and Es condido branches on the San Diego line will land It. There is soma talk 01 putting it on the loot) and doine away with all but two of the present passenger trains, vvttn the exception of Redlands and Highlands very little business is done around that line and the passengers which are handled do not meet the expense of running tne trains, lr tne motor car was placed on that line it could be run around numerous times during the day, offering better service at less ex pense.

SOLDIER A POOR MARKSMAN. llred Four Shots at a AVoinan and Never Touched a Curl. Junction City, Kan., June 15. Pri vate Sears of the Tenth cavalry, the negro regiment of which a part is sta tioned at the post, is boarding with Sheriff Miller at the county jail as the result of a drunken escapade. Sears took three shots at Alma Taylor, a negro woman, but did not injure her. The explanation is that she was dancing around so lively that he hard ly had a fair chance at her. The affair occurred about a mile and a half north of town between here and the post. GOTCH AVON FROM JENKINS. Lakin, Kan., June 15. The Lakin Commercial club, at its last meeting, appointed a committee to look into the matter of establishing a good road through the Sand Hills in the south part of the county, as the city is the best business center in the county, and at present the road is in deplorable condition. The city is enjoying an era of prosperity "that has not been equalled since the "early days" when the town was the mecca of the seeker after free government land. In the past four years it has grown from a small town of 250 Inhabitants to one of 800 inhabitants. It has two banks. five churches, of every denomination, a fine brick public school, sub stantial brick and stone business houses, nice residences, and cement walks all over the town. Is a Center of Irrigation. Kearny county has nearly 60,000 acres of land under irrigation, from the various private pumping plants, canals, the government plant, and the mammoth reservoir, known as Lake McKinney, which is located a mile from town, to the north, and extend ing for about 8 miles eastward. On the south side of the Arkansas river, the United States Sugar and Land company has installed nine groups of five wells each, for the purpose of Irrigating their private lands. These wells extend from west of Lakin, to wards the east line of the county. All told, there is about 75 miles of irrigating canals in the county, and tne land under them is. used prin cipally for the raising of alfalfa and sugar beets. This irrigated land Is held at from 50c to J1.25 per acre. producing from 15 to 30 tons of beets per acre, with a market value 01 $5 per ton, delivered at Lakin, and for alfalfa, making one seed crop and three cuttings for hay. The first cut ting of alfalfa Is now being taken care of, and promises to make a large yield, as the season nas been especial ly favorable. In working the beet farms, plenty of labor is required, and the com pany imports quite a lot of German and Japanese laborers-, to tend the land for them. An immense-amount f alfalfa seed was bought at this place last, fall one buyer getting almost J10.000 worth, and there were four other buy ers 1b- the-field. .-.j w.r: Alfalfa Raised on the Uplands. In addition to the famous Arkansas valley, we have upland farms, on what is known as the "flats", locally that are doing their share of making the county" prosperous, their farmers raising sucn crops as cane, Kamr, milo maize. millet, wheat, barley, and in fact, everything that usually grows on a farm. Some of them have tried alfalfa, and have found that It is a success, when proper care is taken of it. Wheat is in fine condition, the re cent rains assuring a bountiful crop Some of the wheat growers have been offered $1 per bushel for their crop, when it Is harvested, but as a rule they believe tney preier to piay their own game. Spring crops are in fine condition, and an immense amount of broom corn has been planted, but considering the prices paid last fall, (tu to iuu per tonj, it is not surprising that the upland farmer should consider it a profitable crop,, when four acres -will raise a ton. and that is not oaa invest ment on lands that can be had. at the present time, at from $6 to $15 per acre, nor Is It difficult to see why there is so great a aemana tor inese lands. One party, an eastern man, bought some 3,300 acres a few years ago at an average price of J 4 per acre, this year he has about S00 acres of it in wheat, and has a fine yield in sight. Is it any wonder he is making money? Take it all in all. Kearny county is a fine place in which, to reside, her lands will suit the pocketbook of any person, the climate is of the best, ana her reo ole enterprising, progressive. and up to date. It will be but a few years till her lands will have ad vanced till they will net their pres ent owners a tidy sum for the in vestment, and the old saying of "the enrlv bird gets the worm" was never truer than'when applied-to Kearny county land.

Hutchinson, Kan.,, June 15. -A case of extreme religious fanaticism said to exist in Reno county, has been reported to County Attorney Hetting er by H. M. Grubbs, assessor of Gove township, who says that twenty-three persons have taken up snake worship and hold regular services, in which deadly reptiles play the principal part. Mr. Grubbs says that he witnessed one of the snake services Saturday nigbt in a barn in Gove township. near his farmhouse. He said the snakes were allowed to sink their poisonous fangs in the worshipers' bodies. The custom has been going on for several months, and, according to Mr. Grubbs, the farmers in the township are rising up in arms against the practice. One man s arm is shriveled and there are the marks of the snake's fangs in his wrist, according to Mr. Grubbs, who says that regular hunts are made for the reptiles, which are caged and kept expressly for the ser vices. He asked that a warrant be is sued for the worshipers. Assistant County Attorney Foote says that no prosecution could be made unless it was disturbing the peace of the com munity or endangering the lives of children. Levi Carter, a telephone operator at Leoti. a small town near here, is said to be a convert to the faith. His father has made application to Pro bate Judge Jordan for an examination as to his sanity. Three children, it is claimed, have been bitten by snakes, and one; child is in a dangerous condition. The wor shipers believe themselves immune from poison. FARMER HAP A CLOSE CALL. Stood Between Two Horses as Light- ning Struck Them. Carl Junction, Kan., June 15. Standing between two horses which were knocked down and killed and himself escaping by being only slight ly shocked was the unusual experi ence of A. J. McClendon, a farmer liv- ng five miles northeast of this city, when his barn was struck by a bolt of lightning. That he was not killed seems a lit tle short of miraculous as he was standing within three feet of one of the horse's heads with his hand on the manger at the time the bolt struck. He and the horses were in the ex treme northeast part of the barn, the lightning striking the comb of the building- near the south end, and seemed to scatter in three directions, one tearing a strip of shingles down the east side, the other going down the west side and tearing out a couple of braces in its path; the other follow ing a steel tracking, running the full length of the building Just under the comb, and tearing a small hole in the north end of the structure Just over the driveway.

Marshall County Assessor Makes an Excellent Showing. r- Marysville, Kan. June 15. C. F. Travelute, county assessor of Marshall county, "the assessor who does things," shows a nice gain in personal property valuations over last year. The total assessed value of the county is $10,488,310 as compared with $9,590, 345 of last year. This with $102,700 of increased real estate improvements makes a total increase of $1,000,670. These figures give a per capita in crease of $42.10, a mightv nice show ing for a county that has suffered such losses through floods as did Marshall county last year, many or the town ship returns showing practically no grain or feed. Last year Marshall county ranked sixth in the state in personal property and when it is remembered that the county has no large cities, no factories or machine shops, no large industries of any sort it is no wonder the people and their assessor point with pride to their personal property report. The tax dodger s slogan is, "Trave lute will git you if you don't watch out," a warning well borne out by his past record of landing these gentle men and "presuading" them to "come through."

It occurs to the New York Evening Post that a few more blind men like the senator from Oklahoma, and the Democracy might see light ahead. What has become of old Crazy Snake who furnished great excitement for the gallant militia of Oklahoma some time ago with a game of hide-and-seek? A monumental concession has been Efanted to the consumers of the United States by Mr. Aldrich and his friends. Ttadlum has been placed on the free list in the tariff bill. For the information of those who are insisting that summer is slow in ar riving thl3 year, attention is called to the fact that it is not supposed to get on deck officially until June 21. Mr. Harriman's doctor says that his distinguished patient is suffering "only' from rheumatism. Well isn't that quite enough? Most persons who have been afflicted with it will say so in no un certain terms. Probab'- an unusual amount of at tention will be paid these days to such old Bibles as may be stored away in garrets and trunks. Inasmuch as a New York man found a small fortune in cash in one such. Mr. Taft may well be pardoned for occasionally losing a golf match these (lays. Any man with such a tariff revision dilemma on his hands as he has could hardly be expected to play good golf or anything else. The Buffalo Courier noted recently n unfortunate sympathetic advance' In the prices of many other foods be sides meat. And the New York World Added that the consumer gets the sym pathy. All of which is too true', alas, too true. The Wright brothers are being showered with gold medals and ail kinds of attention, but best of all they have an aeroplane which really makes a noise like a bird. But, then again, that's the reason they are getting the medals. Two more weeks and the Kansas "heat harvest will be in full blast, and while the total yield will not be as large es It has been in some years, it will be plenty big enough to make monkeys out of the "crop killers" who have been exceedingly busy of late. J. Eads How, who has been glorifying !n the title of "the millionaire hobo, (may be entitled to the "millionaire" part of it. But he will soon lose all claims to being considered a "hobo." He pro joses to work his wav to Europe. And everyone knows that work and real ho boes are as utter strangers. If it takes the defense- in the fa mous Calhoun case at San Francisco as long to present its side of the case as it did the prosecution to put in its evidence, the trial will cover about a year's time. It has taken the prosecution no less than twenty-four weeks to handle its end of the affair. Governor Stubbs is right in ex pressing the sentiment that the world is growing better as it ages. As he says, every man who thinks differ ently belongs in the backwoods. If -the conditions in the world were not improving all the time, Its future would be mighty dark, when as a matter of fact it is a most glorious one. As N. B. Burge told the members of the Commercial club the other evening, Topeka has been dreaming for 25 years." Most of these dreams have been of a better and greater city in every particular. And it is quite evi dent nowadays that these dreams are going to come true. In fact, their reali zation has already begun on an -ten-eive scale. Captain W. S. Albright has served the state of Kansas with distinction for a number of years as assistant state bank commissioner and also as the head of this important depart ment on occasions. That ho will achieve a fine success in the active banking; world, which he is about to enter, almost goes without saying. He is assuredly entitled to one and has the best wishes of the people of the state whom he has served so faithfully. A NOTE OF WARNING. With the agricultural and industrial situations in the promising condition that they are now and with such an excessive supply of money as there is at this time in this country at un usually low rates, the old dangers which bring about financial and busi ness panics are again confronting the people. Attention is called to tl.is fact by Henry Clews, the prominent New York banker and publicist, in his current financial review, and be names these dangers as overconfldence, ex cessive speculation and the fostering of unsound and illegitimate enter prises. Of course, another financial and business panic Is not immediately imminent, and it could be removed beyond the realms of possibility by the business men of the nation if they would profit by the distressing experi ences of the past and lay good and stable foundations for the era of great prosperity which seems to be at hand. Such warnings as this one from Mr. Clews are timely and should not go unheeded. What he has to say on this subject follows: "While the crop outlook Is not all that might be desired, it shows im provement and presents nothing to oc casion alarm. It is quite possible, if. not probable, that we shall have as large a cotton crop this year as last year, in spite of the agitation for de creased acreage. As there is good profit in raising cotton at present prices, and cotton Is the most Impor tant crop in the adjustment of our for- eign trade balance, the outlook in this j respect is entirely Batisiactory. vvnao ever shortage there may be in wheat will be more than compensated for by I the large increase in corn acreage. If average conditions prevail we should produce a record breaking corn crop. As this crop exceeds in value any other two crops combined, and farm ers are securing very profitable prices for this cereal, it is reasonable to hope for another profitable harvest. Wheat is, of course, a very profitable crop at present figures; though it is not with out significance that the present high price of flour has so checked con sumption as to cause supplies to ac cumulate and force price cutting among the mills. The fruit crops are not in as good condition as last year, and all crops combined are officially stated to be 4 points below last year, but 8 points above the year before. With our industrial and agricultural situations both in such promising con dition, it is not surprising that con fidence is growing. and already run ning into a strong degree of optimism. The dangers that once more confront us are those of overconfldence, exces sive speculation and the fostering of unsound and illegitimate enterprises, all of which are stimulated to an un wholesome degree by an excessive supply of abnormally cheap money. The great expansion in loans shows upon what an extensive scale specula tion Is now being conducted by big operators." THOSE WOOLEN SCHEDULES. With the brute strength that is given to him by the votes at his command Senator Aldrich was able last week to force through the senate the wool schedule in Its entirety as he prepared it for the tariff bill. It is as high in every particular as is the same schedule in the Dingley law. and some persons, who are in a posi tion to know, assert, that it is so craftily drawn to protect certain in terests that many of its provisions will make for even higher duties on wools and woolen goods than are now provided for by the present tariff law. If this Aldrich wool schedule is adopted by the conference com mittees and the bill containing it be comes a law through the presidential signature, it means that the con sumers of the country will be bled for the next few years to come as they have in the past by being, com pelled to pay outrageously high prices for their clothing. A high woolen schedule hits the pocketbook of every man and woman in the country, for they all need woolen clothes to wear, or rather, most of them do, and it hits their pocket books hard. An illuminating and concrete in stance of the tribute that the people of the United States have to pay be cause of the high woolen schedules which have existed for years in tariff laws and which Mr. Aldrich would continue in force was given recently by Collier's Weekly. It printed a let ter from a graduate of the United States Military academy to a friend in which this particular brand of tariff hold-up was elucidated clearly. When a young man graduates from West Point he must provide himself with uniforms in which to begin his army service which cost him something over $400 if they are purchased in this country. Now there are abso lute requirements as to texture and fineness of cloth for uniforms which have to be met by army officers. They are not permitted to wear imita tions of the real thing in the way of uniforms. The writer of the letter published by Collier's said that he went to Europe immediately after his graduation and before taking up his active duties In the army and pur chased all of the uniforms he needed for less than one-half of what he would have been compelled to pay for them if he had bought his uniforms in his own country.- He ad vised all the graduates of West Point to use their graduation furloughs in a little trip to Europe for their uniforms and he showed them con clusively that they would have Just as good uniforms, those coming up in all ways to the U. S. army standards, and the pleasures of a lit tle jaunt abroad for the same money that they would have to pay for their uniforms at home. He rightly at tributed the excessive charges for these uniforms purchased on United States soil to the woolen schedules in the tariff. The saving to all person" to tnls country on, their purchases of cloth ing would be proportionately as large as were those of this army man if they could all take trips to Europe af ter them, or better still, if the woolen tariff schedules were materially re duced. And the profits of the retail dealers in clothing would be pro portionately as large. JOURNAL ENTRIES Some people who are blessed with caution are accused of cowardice. The virtues of patience are many but too much of it is quite as bad as not enough. Occupying a prominent place among the unsatisfactory things are the kisses that are sent by mail. i. An old adage worth remembering goes like this: If you stick your finger into the fire you are sure to get burned. Bee stings may or may not cure rheumatism but they ought to be suf ficient to make a man afflicted with it forget that he has the malady for a few minutes, at least.

Cimarron Jacksonian. some Here is a little story told by the Holton Recorder: A Kansas storm was rairins- and the door of little Mary's prairie home had been torn from its hinges, ana ner moiner, wm j ir.g to hold it against the wind, was thrown half-stunned upon the floor. Mary looked at her prostrate parent and listened to the roar outside for a mo ment, then falling on her knees, she exclaimed: "O God, you've killed moth er, now stop!" GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. It is easier to join the mob than to argue with it. The honest man never has to waste much time telling about his honesty. Sometimes people become so lone some that they want to howl like a dog. Nine out of ten arguments are to combat the proposition that two and two make four. You can fool a man on nearly anything else, but you can't fool him on a Fourth of July celebration. This may be depended upon: A girl who has her picture taken with her dress cut very low, will kiss strange boys. A man's Idea of an easy chair is one so heavy it breaks his wife's back every time she moves it when she sweeps. A woman can always make her husband feel guilty by walking to the window, and looking wistfully out into the dark. If a woman has real good hard sense she marries her daughters off with as good Judgment as if she were selling a cow. Don't argue. You can't convince anyone; you will only make yourself angry, and the man you argue with will hate you. When a girl plays a piano, she lays a handkerchief on the keyboard; when a man plays the piano, he lays a cigar on the keyboard. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. A woman's baby couldn't be any more wonderful to her even if it was twins. The more a girl could help around the house the more she'd rather her mother did it. A valuable thing to a man who has gone through college is what a lot he could have learned anywhere else. It takes a man to be pleased with himself for having a dog that can fight, but disgusted with his neighbor for having one. A woman has such an imagination that before the seamstress 'who sews for her by the day has got on the trolley car in front of the house she can speak of her as her tailor., POINTED PARAGRAPHS. f From the Chicago News. When the blind attempt to lead the blind the result is out of sight. The thief would take things easy were not for the minions of the law. The boy who runs away from home never has as good a time as he thought he would. Our idea of a fool man is one who will kiss a woman after seeing her kiss a pet dog. Some sermo'hs might be more inter esting if they were not one-sided argu ments. Some people who take offense with out cause would take anything else they could get away with. If a woman's hat is becoming It's Im possible for her to convince herself that it Is uncomfortable. You can save yourself useless worry by permitting other people to attend to their own private affairs. Talk is anything but cheap when you nave to pay a dollar a minute for the use of a long distance telephone. It's an easy matter to get married on a salary of $6 a week, but staying mar ried on it ia another proposition. KANSAS COMMENT PREACHERS NOT TO BLAME. Much has been written regarding the lack of attendance at the church es. It has been said that the preach ers do not deliver the right sort of sermons; that they confine them selves too closely to the Bible when they should address their congrega tions on topics of the day, and that they are too dogmatic Many other reasons have been advanced. Not one of the reasons mentioned in all of the discussions have proven to be the correct solution of the question. John Converse, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Phila delphia, in presenting his report as chairman of the committee on evan gelistic work' to the Presbyterian Gen eral Assemblv In Tlenver. Raid that the church had been altogether too dig- nuiea to go out after the sinner, and had been content to rest in state awaiting the approach of the seeker for solace. He advocates less "state ly treading" and more democracy in the church. If Mr. Converse refers to some of the members of the churches, he is correct. It is not the preacher who is to blame because more people do not attend church he works hard enough and, as a rule, is not "wrapt in stately dignity." It is the mem bers of the church who do not do their duty. There are too many mem bers who are not democratic. They are cold as ice, are aristocratic, give the impression to the chance visitor that they own the entire place and have a monopoly on salvation. Al most all the large churches in any community are burdened with men of this sort. They probably help the church with donations, but they don't extend a hand in welcoming a com mon looking stranger and do much less in aiding a sinner. It isn't the preacher who keeps people away from church. It is the human icicle who gives the impression that he owns the church and carries about with him the "holler than thou" expression. A very few such gold plated refrigerators who make them selves officious can undo more in church work in a day than a good, hustling, big-hearted, generous. GodV fearing minister can accomplish in a year. Wichita Eagle. o THE GOOD TIME. Frequently you hear a rich man abused because he stays on the job that made him rich, instead of spend ing his time gadding about the earth in search of a good time. But it is hardly fair to assume that avarice and greed prompt such action, or even that it is a lack of faith in humanity. Very likely the work done represents the good time for the man who stays at it after all need of work has pass ed. For it is certain that there are many ideas of what constitutes hap piness, and the man who selects loaf ing is apt to change his mind in time, if he tries it. Doing nothing is harder than work, and if a man has spent many years at work, learning little of play, work brings ntm more enjoy ment than the butterfly existence. Atchison Globe. FROM OTHER PENS GOVERNOR HUGHES' VETOES. If a man from Mars visiting Albany were told that of 650 bills left on his hands by the jegislature Governor Hughes had vetoed or failed to sign more than 200, he -ight say: "I sup pose such wholesale use of a veto pow er Intended only for occasional emer gency must have caused great public Indignation." "On the contrary," his Informant would have to answer, "the governor's work gives great satisfaction. While some may regret his action upon specific measures, the general feeling i3 one of security and confidence that New York has in Mr. Hugnes an able man who laboriously examines the mass of bills and decides upon them as he honestly thinks best, regardless of political or other 'pulls.' The legis lature, out of good nature or for politi cal effect passes many bills which it knows ought not to become laws, ex pecting that the governor will veto them. Thus he has vetoed a three- platoon bill for the police of New York city, which is a local matter, and a veterans' pension bill, which is a fed eral concern. Not to speak of a bill to protect criminal skulls by forbidding policemen and detectives to carry blackjacks. The people trust Mr. Hughes and he has a national reputa tion." New York World. THE MISSISSIPPI TRAFFIC. That recent preliminary report of the inland waterways commission continues to attract considerable at tention, and there is doubtless more than one reason for it. One unques tionably is that a new interest has been aroused in the opening of the great inland waterways as an im portant step in the future 'develop ment of the natural resources of the country, and it is probable that an other is that the cold figures pre sented are so distinctly at variance with the popular idea of the amount of traffic done on the Mississippi and its great tributaries. Something of the romance of the early days of the Mississippi steamboats still remains, or did remain, until this report of the inland waterways commission was given out. It has been a surprise, coming near to- a shock, for most people to be told that the freight ton nage on the Mississippi in recent years has varied from 25,000 to 40, 000 tons annually. Only one line is using the upper Mississippi, and in the words of the commission: "The traffic movement on the lower Mississippi has so materially declined in recent years that the supremacy once enjoyed by the Mississippi has passed to the Ohio." Manchester Union. NO WOOD, NO BREAKFAST. A Delaware judge has handed down a decision that is of interest to all husbands and wives in Delaware, and elsewhere. The decision would ap pear to emphasize the fact that there must be a community of interest in domestic affairs, with each of the principals mutually helpful and res ponsible. A Wilmington woman charged her husband with non-sup- nort. She testified tnai on one oc casion the husband refused to cut the wood for the breakfast fire. There upon she refused to sret his break fast. "That was right," the judge Is credited with saving, and tne no wood-no-breakfast precedent may be expected to hold good nerearter in Wilmington at least. Of course the wood cutting theory is not to be taken in a practical rorm. There is very little wood cut nowa days, but this doesn't impair the un derlying principle. The wife does her share but the husband must co-operate fairly. And no doubt the same theory holds good when reversed al though the application is more Infre nuent To sum it all up the domes tic -partnershio calls for mutual de pendence and mutual helpfulness and there is no higher way of regard ing It- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There is a strip of land of consid erable area lying between here and Pocomoke City, Md., that for more than a century truly has been called 'No Man's Land." It is not within the recollection of the oldest resident of Accomac county, Va., or of Wor cester county, Md., that any one ever has laid claim to it. nor are there any records of it in the courts of either county. Even the question as to which of the' two states the land be longs to never has been considered seriously. isot a lew of the older residents noia to tne opinion that the land does not even belong to the United States. some of the going so far as to say that if it belongs to any country at all it is England's, as the mother coun try owned everything down this way Deiore tne declaration of Independ ence changed ownership, and they ininjc it more than likely that in div Iding up Virginia and Maryland over looked "No Man's Land," leaving it out in the cold and making of it a miniature territory without a ruler. There are between 300 and 400 acres of virgin soil in the tract that couW be made to produce bumper crops, Dut no one cultivates it and so far as is known today there is no one who has any desire to do so. For some unaccountable reason it does not appeal strongly to the farmers and truckers of this section, and they always take good care to steer clear of the apparently hoodooed land. New Church correspondence Phila delphia Record. Prejudice Against the Stage in China. So great Is the official prejudice agalnet the stage in China that it ex tends even to the children of actors. and these are prohibited from hold ing any post under the government. Four years ago the grandson of an actor named Cheng was appointed translator to the Chinese legation at iierun. cneng in his day was in the very front of his profession, and ranked as high in. the esteem of all classes of society as Sir Henry Ir ving did in his country. Yet the nom ination of his descendant caused an outcry among Chinese officials, and a memorial praying for his removal was presented to the empress dow ager. The new official, it was pointed out, belonged to the caste of actors, who ranked with barbers and chirop odists, as the three lowest classes in the country. The younger Cheng, however, was able to prove that his parents did not follow his grandfath er's profession, so the appointment was allowed to stand. London Chronicle. A AVord for New York's "Cops.' The impression the visiting strang er receives of the average New York policeman is a pleasant one. His per sonal appearance is attractive, he is uniformly polite in answering in quiries, and is exceedingly intelligent in handling the traffic in crowded streets. It is extremely agreeable un der all of these circumstances to .note the few words of introduction made by the policeman toastmaster, Lieut. O'Connor, of the traffic squad; at the annual banquet of the force in New York Saturday evening. No wonder that they brought the entire roomful, cops and friends of cops, to their feet in a spontaneous burst or enthusiasm Said this eloquent man: "We don't ask any odds or favors in this police game. We are willing to take any chances, no matter where duty call us, but we do demand fair play. Don't Judge us by our worst sine. xou wouldn't judge the continental army by Benedict Arnold.

Endicott-J Major James Godfrey. TT. s a tired, and living in his own villa with wife and daughter, had Severn I faila and fancies to keep the family and the neighbors busy, but one particular fad wa destined to get him into trouble sooner or later. He could read in his mornlnsr naner with the greatest equanimity of mur- aers, rooDenes. assaults, thefts "-and burnings at the stake, but when he came across an item about a masher he fired up at once and shouted out inat ne would give five hundred dol lars ont of his own Docket to sea tha scoundrel lynched or sent to priBon iur me, His daughter used to look at him In wonder when he broke out in this fashion, while the wife was discreetly silent. Perhaps the latter had flirted a bit before giving her heart to the major, and he was remembering it in jiih uia age. For three months Miss Kate had wanted to attend an art school in the city and receive instructions. During those three months there happened to ue an unusual number of "mashes recorded in the papers, and the fath er would not hear of her even run ning up town to do a little shopping unless ne or tne motner was along. He was as firm as the rock of Gib raltar. After a time, however, the record began to peter out, and as he was pleased with what his daughter had already done with the brush, and had hopes of her future, the major finally gave his consent. It was only eight miles to the city, and then a street car would take her right to the doors of the school. All she had to do, going and coming, as the father told her over and over, was to keep her eyes cast down and her purse clutched tightly in her hand. Unknown to her. he took the same train to the city with her for a week and then, as nothing happened and nis rheumatism got. worse, he left her to make her way alone. Two weeks had passed when Miss fc.ate came home one afternoon in a flutter. Her mother happened to be out, and she must tell some one. She therefore related to the father that while on the street car, en route to the depot and home, some thief had snipped the chain of her purse and borne the prize away. The prize held her return ticket and a dime. At the depot she found her tears falling, but a good Samaritan had come forward and handed her change enough for the fare. She couldn't ex actly say whether he was a grand father or a young man, homely or good-looking. He had spoken only a few words and lifted a white hat or a black one she could not tell. Obey ing her father, she had kept her eyes on the floor, and they were filled with tears besides. The major heard the story to the end, and then he roared. The man who had. taken pity on her financial condition at the depot was a "mash er," of course. He had followed her home on the train; he would meet her again and make the matter an excuse for addressing her. He was no grandfather, but a young man. and no doubt a professional masher. Miss Kate should have re pulsed him with scorn; she should have had him arrested; she should have hired a truck to bring her home or walked if ill the trucks were busV. For a quarter of an hour he scolded and growled, and then wound up by saying that the art school business was at an end. She could attend no more. He would sit on the front veranda with a shotgun across his knees, and if that plotting masher even passed the house he should carry away buckshot. Tears were shed and loving appeals made, but the rock of Gibraltar was right there. Two weeks passed and the masher did not appear. At least the major didn't fire upon any or tne young men driving or walking on the highway. The daughter felt that the stranger had been actuated by the kindest mo tives. He had spoken just enougn not a word more. He had not offered his card. The fare was only 25 cents, but she felt ashamed that she could not return it. Had opportunity offered for a second meeting she would have insisted on doing so. Two weeks passed away, and then the mother went to the city to do a little shopping. She also came home with a tale to tell. She thought she was telling it to her daughter alone, but It so happened that the major was Just outside the window and heard every word. She had finished her shopping and reached the depot when she realized that she had spent all her money. A good Samaritan came forward. He smiled, raised his hat and that was all. But Mrs. Major Godfrey's eyes had not been filled with tears and cast down. She had seen that he was a gentlemanly looking young man of twenty-five, and that he took the same train as she did snd evidently lived farther down the line. Then Miss Kate thought she remembered that In the one instant she had raised her eyes quite involuntarily, you know she had made out the same sort of a man. This decision had Just been arrived at when the voice of the major was heard In the land. It was heard as it had not been heard since he led a charge at Gettysburg. He stormed at the two poor females until they were helpless with terror. A masher had appeared to break up his family, and his family were willing to be broken. Such carryings on might do for Af rica, but this was America, by gad, and he wouldn't stand for it He talked the women upstairs, and he talked the cook out of the house, and the good Samaritan was responsi ble for a very bad night. It was three days later, and things had settled down a bit, when the major announced that he had to go to the city on a business matter. There was another reason, but he kept It to himself. He wanted to meet that masher and make jam of him. He felt that he could identify him among hundreds, and once he was identi fied On arriving in the city the man or war called on a broker and pocketed some bonds he had invested in and then made calls at three different clubs to see old friends and drink cocktails to "anld lang syne." When ready to start for the depot and home he was In the condition known as mel low. He thought everybody a good fel low, and he thoneht every good fel low an old veteran and thus when a particularly keen-looking good fel low asked him Into a barroom on his way to dring to Old Glory there was no hesitation. The major will remember to his dying dav that he took brandy. He was drinking the last of it when he felt sleepy, and the voice of the good fellow sounded afar off. When ne came to his senses again he was in bed at a hotel and a medical-looking man was saying to a young man who didn't look medical at all: "He'll do now bt there was a time when it was doubtful. He must have. AMUSEMENTS. At the Air Dome. Tonight Velma Whitman's company i' drama and vaudeville. At the Novelty. Tonight-Moving pictures to 1:10 p. ta, At Vinewood.

The major heard that much and wondered and Blent. He awoke again at midnight and aat up in bed to see. a young man beside him. He got a dose of medicine, and then he sud- ueniy exclaimed: "Here- what's all this? Where am I?"

Not a thing missing." j At daylight, when the man of Mar's swung his legs out of bed, the young man sat by the window smoking ani smiling. He advanced and presented his card and observed that he had th& honor of already knowing the major' name. Now .then, what's this all aboint. and Where's my wife and daughter D" was demanded sharply, as the patient reacnen nis teet to rind himself Ho weak that he had to fall back on th)e bed.

You are pretty near all right now, but I shall see you home after we have had something to eat. Don't object, please. You are weak and dizzy yet." The idea that he had been a ninny grueled the major, but he was too weak to shout- He wanted to think, but his brain was too sluggish. He was, therefore, like a baby in the hands of the other for a while. Strong coffee and a bite to eat and the ride to the depot braced him up, and as the train started he suddenly exclaim ed: "Good Lord, but what could they have thought of my not coming home last night!" "Oh, I teleplioned them from the hotel," was the answer. "But but See here,, young man. how did you know where to telephone to?

Chance for some charitable institution to make a thou sand dollars if you can grow hair on a bald head. In a recent issue of this paper Dr. Nott, whose fame Is a matter of na tional recognition, stated that there was no cure for baldness. An opin ion which is evidently not shared by all, otherwise the existence of numer ous concerns that advertise to cure baldness, to put hair on a billiard ball, etc., would be imperilled. What Dr. Nott did state, as reference to the is sue containing his statements will cor roborate, was that he had never seen In all of the thousands of cases which have passed under his notice, one in stance where the disease of baldness had been cured. But he did state as well that he cheerfully admitted that ther were remedies that would re store gray hair to the color of youth, and that there were Hair Tonics which would encourage the growth of hair, cure dandruff and the ordinary diseases of the scalp, he referred" par ticularly to Q-Ban Hair Restorer and Q-Ban Hair Tonic. rr. Nott states that he will give to any charitable in stitution named $1,000 n receipt of any authentic proof showing that hair haa ever been put on a bald head where the roots were dead.

Many Sew Buildings and Departments Have Been Added to K. S. A. C. Manhattan, Kan., June 15. The enormous growth which the Kansas State Agricultural college has made during the past few years is gradually being felt throughout the state. The commencement exercises held this week at the college will see people from every corner of Kansas as well as alumni from far and near, coming to see the educational advantages held out to Kansas people. The advancement of the K. S. A. C. is perhaps more marked during the year just passed than ever before. During that time two large buildings have been added to the structures al ready crowding the hill northwest of Manhattan. These are the new do mestic science hall and the veterinary building. The shops have been en larged and rearranged to accommo date the young people seeking train ing of the hand as well of the mind. The forge room which last year con tained but twenty forges, can now en tertain forty students at one time. Something like the same relative growth has taken place in many of the -other departments. The engineering hall is now pro gressing toward completion. Work was resumed last week by Henry Ben nett of Topeka and when completed by January 1,. 1910, it will be the largest building of the group. Much delay was occasioned by the failure of the Blanchard Construction company to carry on the contract. The engi neering building including equipment will be $85,000. The teaching force now number 117. Expansion and development is in the atmosphere.

Capt. J. E. Hays and Joe Williams circulated a petition this week among the citizens and business men and collected $102.50 for the benefit of the oldest son of Prank Thompson who has been sick for the past six months. The boy's case Is a peculiar one. It called for almost daily visits from the doctor and several times the boy seemed almost at death's door when he would rally and gain for a time. His sickness and care has been quite a burden for the family. Frank Thompson is an honest hard work ing man and deserving, but never asked for help. The men who carried the petition and the citizens who do nated felt they could lighten the bur den of the family without Imposing on anyone. Mr. Thomas and family appreciate the fact very much. The sick boy is gaining slowly but it will be some time before he will be in nor mal health again. Class ot 327 Graduates. North Hampton, Mass., June 15. The largest class that was ever graduated from Smith college, 327 young women, received their diplomas today from the hands of the presi dent at the thirty-first annual com mencement. The commencement oration was delivered by Rev. G. A. Gordon, pastor of old South Con gregational church, Boston. Buffalo. N. T., June 15. In analyzing the charitable work that the state ought to provide for and that which should be carried on by private benevo lence, Mr. H. C. Bowman, member of the board of control of charitable insti tutions of Kansas, said to the National Conference of Charities and Correction in session here this morning, that the state should establish and maintain In stitutions for the care and treatment of all insane. "State care," he said, "is the only method that conforms to the demands of our present civilization. But the counties should be charged with a fixed sum for each indigent pa tient, so as to prevent the counties from converting the state hospital into a state almshouse. The state should maintain separate institutions for the epileptic and feeble-minded, and the state should maintain separate institu tions for consumptives, habitual dunk ards, and drug habitues. "Every state in addition to the juv enile courts and industrial institutions for the delinquent children, should maintain a temporary school and home with a hospital in connection and a complete state system for the care of an dependent and negrected children. This does not affect the fair work of private children's agencies, and all such agencies should be supervised by the state.

There was a full car load of the reptiles, comfortably en sconsed in largo vessels partly filled with water. The rate on the shipment proved a tangled problem for the railroad officials. A diligent search failed to find the word "alligators" in any of the tariff books and it was finally de cided to apply the rate on "Animals not otherwise specified."

Hysteria sometimes leads to insanity and should be treated through feeding the brain and nerves upon scientifical ly selected food that restores the lost delicate gray matter. Proof of the power of the brain food, Grape-Nuts, Is remarkably strong. "About eight years ago -when work ing very hard as a court stenographer I collapsed physically, then nervously, and was taken to the state hospital for the insane at Lincoln, Neb., a raving maniac. "They had to keep me in a straight jacket and I was kept in the worst ward for three months. I was finally dismissed in the following May but did no brain work for years, until last fall when I was persuaded to take the testimony in two cases. "One of these was a murder case and the strain upon my nervous sys tem was so great that I would have broken down again except for the strength I had built up by the use of Grape-Nuts. When I began to feel the pressure of the work on my brain and nerves I simply Increased the amount of Grape-Nuts and used the food more regularly. "I now feel like my old self again and am healthy and happy. I am sure that if I had known of Grape-Nuts when I had my trouble 8 years ago I would never have collapsed, and this dark experience in .-my life would never have happened. "The power of Grape-Nuts as a brain food is simply wonderful and I do not believe any stomach is so weak that it can not digest this wonderful food." "There's a Reason.'?

M. Negoro, of the 'editorial staff of the Jiji, a local Japanese publication, who was taken into- custody when the offices of that papers were raided, by the authorities last Friday, has made formal complaint to. the Japanese f or eign office at Tokio of the violations of his treaty rights. u The alleged violation' of 'his rights as a Japanese subject, guaranteed un der the treaty between the United States and Japan and set forth in his complaint, consists in the search of his offices and the seizure of his pri vate papers and documents by the ter ritorial authorities without due pro cess of law. Territorial Sheriff William Henry ad mits the search and seizure was made by force of arms and without search warrants of process of law, but claims that the papers seized contain ed evidence of criminal purposes and declares that the courts of the ter ritory are open to Negoro for redress if he has been damaged. Negoro was rearrested today together -with X. So go, Y. Taseka and K.

June 1 s The Kansas state. board? of medical examiners, which has been in session in Kansas City, Kan., for the past W fdlr has flnififoeri ia u-n.lr .-1 ad journed to meet-in Topeka in Octo ber. Gladys Nelson, a seventeen-year-old school girl of Galesburg, 111., spoiled child of wealthy parents, petulant and willful, very beautiful and elegantly dressed, was last evening escorted into Matron Thorpe's quarters from, the National hotel, whither she had gone to await the coming of her lover from home to marry her. A telegram from the chief of police at Galesburg caused her arrest-by Detectives Hutton and Wonderly.' The ill fated escapade had been planned some time ago at her home and Gladys had -sold her pony for a hundred dollars to help finance the honeymoon and has $88.55 left. Mrs. Thorpe really fell in love with the girl, she was so neat, pretty and in nocently devoted to her lover. The officers in bringing her in had told her that they would "get that man and hang him," and the poor girl nearly went Into hysterics, refusing comfort and crying all night in spite of the reassurances of Mrs. Thorpe that her lover would, not be hanged. The young man with this wealth of love bestowed upon him was to leave last evening for Topeka, but the brother, of the. girl found him during the day and told him to never mind as he himself was going. At the sta tion this morning when the brother went in to see his sister he said: "Well, what are you doing here?" "Can't you see. I'm going to stay here, too." When told she must go home she replied saucily: "I won't; I'll run away again." But the chances are she will not for when her brother told her of her lover's denial of their elopement she replied that she wanted to go and face him, "the piker." But during her short stay in the prison the girl showed her true nature toward Anna Grey, a mulatto gril, whom the judge fined $15 and who has cried every minutes of the last three days in the prison. Anna had been arrested during the recent wholesale conviction of the alley rats. At times she seemed honest, shuddering at the charge against her. She told the matron of her cruel husband at Kan sas City, whom she had left to sell corn salve to make a living. It was the same story told the judge but more effective and the matron doubt ed her guilt. At her wailings she found a ready friend in runaway Gladys, who took out her money and promptly gave her $15 to pay her fine, talking to her sympathetically. The liberality of the little lady was refused by the.-authorities, w-hen she broke down and cried when the money would not free the poor colored girl. Nevertheless, the judge paroled Anna to go back to her home in ivansas City and the city furnisnea tne means. Eat at the Avalon Dairy Lunch. Tickets for the Chautauqua may Ire had at 825 Kansas avenue, upstairs. Use the new copper Long Distance Toll Lines over the "Independent" to Wichita, Hutchinson, Newton and territory.

BYERS SUES FOR DIVORCE Asks Court to Free Him From His Erring Spouse. C .F. Byers, whose wife was arrest ed with Contractor J. H. Maxwell In St. Joseph last week, has filed a suit for divorce from his erring spouse. It Is a companion piece to a suit filed by Mrs. J. H. Maxwell against her husband. Byers states in his petition that he married the defendant, Mary Byers, over 20 years ago, and that they have one minor child, a girl. For the past year, he continues, she has been as sociating .with J. H. Maxwell and meeting him clandestinely, and con tinued to so do until caught at it by the St. Joseph police and arrested therefor. He thinks her an unfit per son to have the custody of their min or child, of which he wants the cus tody? The petition filed by, Mrs. Maxwell against her husband, goes' deeper In to tne detail of the St. Joseph scan dal, wherein her husband was caught in a room with. Mrs. Byers. All -together, Mr. Maxwell, contractor, is given a conspicuous position in the limelight. At present he is holding tnese unenviable jobs: corespondent in a divorce suit; defendant iri a di vorce suit; defendant in an adultery case, and fugitive from a bench war rant for contempt of the Shawnee county court.

This morning he took a tour on inspection over the paving on West Eighth avenue and with a cruel, cold blooded hand he waved his sword in the f air and pasted the "B. O." sign on 30 barrels of asphalt which was to be used in- the filler for the brick blocks. This means a dead loss to the asphalt people and will cause a groan of grief to arise from the depths of Asphaltville. Mr. -Rogers is determin ed to have good paving in this city regardless of time or money (to the contractors). The paving on West Eighth is being laid by John.

CAMPBELL'S TALK Kansas City Man Gives Business Men Pointers. Got His Start Selling Sticky Fly Paper in Topeka, The meeting of the Topeka Adver tising club held at the noon hour to day took place in the new quarters adjoining the rooms of the Commer cial club. The tables were ar ranged around the room on all sides so that every one present was able to face the speaker without moving from his seat. There was also a center table where the speaker sat There were 60 members of the or ganization present including a repre sentation of women. They were: Mrs. E. H. Morrison, Mrs. Lila D. Monroe, Miss Viola Reynolds and Miss Elizabeth Barr. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, a quartette singing a number of songs to popular airs. They were in the nature of boosters for Topeka. and the ad vertising idea. The following is one or tne original verses: Air "And a Little Bit More." We'd like to be a friend to you, and a little bit more We'd like to nave you live here. too. with us forever more: We'll treat you right; we'll treat you white Ana welcomes give galore: And you'll get ail that is coming to you ana a uttie Dit more. The meeting was addressed by Mr. W. E. Campbell, president of the Kansas City Advertising club, and advertising manager of the Mitchell Dry Goods Co.. his subject being. "The Department Store Advertising Man, and Department Store Advertis ing." He said in part: "I am very glad to get back to Topeka again. Twenty-live years ago I was here and all I had was a good appetite and good health but nothing to eat. My self and friend went to work and manufactured some sticky fly paper and as the women of your city were good to us we were able to get enough money to take us home. "I have been in the advertising busi ness almost all my life, and possibly I have learned a few things that will prove of interest. The department store man should be a man who knows. He ought to know a good deal more than he does in a good many cases. The de partment store as a rule does not like to have any but the high officials know what Is going on. It Is important for the advertising man to know what is going on. "In our store :we haves an advertising memo. We wausi an advertisement very closely and "make Jt a point to find out as neaclji-as possible just what business it brings in. When the ad appears it: is cut 'up and distributed among the different departments of the store, so that everyone will be abso lutely familiar with that part of it that concerns him. Every evening at the close of business the advertising de partment receives a slip from each de partment showing what the sales for the day were. So in this way the advertis ing man knows what is being done and Just who is selling the goods. When we see that a salesman is not getting business we give him instructions and often make good salesmen out of un promising material. "On another sheet we show the total sales for the corresponding date of a year ago. Our advertising tells us why we are or are not getting business. We also keep a sheet which shows the business as done by the different floors. In Kansas City the question as to whether a department is on the first floor or the fifth does not make any difference in point of business. Another sheet shows the total business for a week. Then we figure up our advertis ing to get the total amount expended and then the percentage of sales. We limit the cost of advertising to 5 per cent of the total sales. -Twice a month we get up a sheet showing the amount of advertising done. "In the department store business it doesn't make any difference how much the advertising man Knows or tne dusi ress -unless all concerned are well in formed. The -importance of every sales man being well posted should be em phasized. Everybody should be enthus iastic; It is enthusiasm that counts. We are great believers in co-operation Everyone employed in our firm is a stockholder and carries a cara wnicn antitles him to purchase goods at a re duced price. We have offered pre ferred stock at 110 a share. We now have 1,000 enthusiastic stockholders, and in the near future we expect to have 5,000 stockholders to boost our business. Each stockholder gets a 5 per .cent discount. FOR .CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. A. X. Ajers Must Pay About Twenty Dollars. A. N. Ayers, an old man who lives in North Topeka, was fined Jl and costs, about $20, in the court of To peka today, for cruelty to animals. He was arrested by Humane Officer Kil maurs King, who charged him with severely beating an aged and poverty stricken horse. Ayers will appeal the case if he can find anyone to go his bond.

USE ALL HIS STRENGTH. Jim Jeffries Will Hit Jack Johnson as Hard as He Can. Pittsburg., June 15. Jim Jeffries, who meets his sparring partner, Sam Ber ger, here tonight in a six round exhibi tion match, grew wrathful when dis cussing Jack Johnson and announced his intention of seriously injuring him, if possible in their coming contest. He said: "I want to say in all sincerity that I want to meet that fellow worse than I ever wanted to light any living man. He has no business with that title. I have always been afraid of my own strength in the ring, for I fear I would kill a man, but I will have no fear when I get into the ring with this fel low. For the first time in my life I will hit with all the force that is in me. I want to see how far I can knock him." BASEBALL AT NIGHT. Players Went Through a Successful Practice lAst Xiglit.. Cincinnati. June 15. Baseball by electric light from which so much is expected by some, was given its try- out at League park here last night, when members of the teams represent ing the Elks lodges of Cincinnati and Newport, Ky., practiced for the after- dark game they wm pay next xnurs day night. The immense reflectors in stalled on high towers illuminated the field almost as bright as daylight, and others manipulated so that light was thrown upwards made it easy to find and catch balls batted into the air. None of the Cincinnatis played, as President Hermann was nnwilling to risk injury to any of his athletes in the untried style of ball playing. BALDWIN'S WIDOW TO WED. Prospective Groom, Dr. Ijeon Landonc, -of Ixws Angeles. Los Anaeles. CaL, June 15. Los An geles society received a shock when it became known that Dr. Leon Lanaone, faddist, child culturist and otherwise known to fame, is to take a bride and that none other than Mrs. Lillian Ben nett Baldwin, widow of E. J. (Lucky) Baldwin. A mutual friend of the cou ple said that the engagement would be announced witnm a lew oays. Both Dr. Landone and Mrs. Baldwin declined to confirm the engagement, but both took particular pairs not to deny it. Mrs. Baldwin has been seen fre auentlv of late with Dr. Landone in the latter's automobile and is much in terested in his attempt to breed and raise children as Luther Burbank does plants and flowers.

HETKICK, Sec. 13 It's blindness and folly for you to follow the same old worn out custom of your mother," your grandmother and uncountable pro ceeding generations. It's a question of paganism; it's a wrong custom it's an extravagant custom.

Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland on the Witness Stand Declares Signature to Branden- i burg Letter a 1'orgery. A SPECIAL SESSION In the Trial of the Case Is Held Today To Accommodate the Widow of the Former President. New- York, June 15. With Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland, widow of the late Grover Cleveland, called as a witness, the trial of Broughton Brandenburg, the magazine writer, on a charge, of grand larceny, began in the supreme' court today. The charge grew out of the sale of a newspaper article which Brandenburg is alleged to have disposed of to a newspaper on the representation that ex-President Cleveland was the author. Mrs Cleveland afterward repudiated the article. A murder trial which was on the calendar of Justice Fitzgerald's court waa interrupted in order to meet the convenience of Mrs. Cleveland, who wishes to leave this city tomorrow for her summer home in New tiampsnire. It was agreed that the Brandenburg trial should be adjourned as soon as Mrs. Cleveland s testimony was taken and continued again after the murder trial was completed. Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by H. C Hastings, one of the executors under Mr. Cleveland's will, arrived at th criminal court's building early, and was taken to District Attorney Jerome s private office to await a summons from the court room, where the wors or se lecting a jury was begun as soon as the court session opened.

Brandenburg was In consultation with his counsel. Samuel Bell Thomas, while the Jury was being selected. Selecting a Jury. Counsel for the defendant, asked the talesmen if the fact that the article on which the charge is based, was politi cal, written during the last campaign and unfavorable to one of the candi dates, Mr. Bryan, would influence their opinions or prejudice tneir minas. 'ne work of selecting Jurors progressed rapidly and the jury box was filled be fore noon. Assistant District Attorney Nott. for the prosecution, related' the incidents leading up to the publication of the let ter. Mr. Nott said the state would show that Brandenburg waited until Mr. Cleveland died before he attempted to sell the article purporting to have been signed by Mr. Cleveland. "A. man who will attach.the name of a former 'president -to falBerticle-and inject the article into a national cam paign performs a grave injury to the public," said Mr. Nott. The prosecutor said he would not only show that the signature attached to the article was not Mr. Cleveland's, but wouia aaauce evidence that It would have been a physical Impossibility for Mr. Cleveland to sign the article at the time the de fendant contends he did. Motion to Dismiss Denied. President John Finley. of the Col lege of "the City of New York, a close friend of the late president, and Dr. Joseph Bryant, Mr. Cleveland's physician, were among the -witnesses Mr. Nott said he would call Counsel for the defendant made a motion to dismiss the Indictment on the ground that the- facts as set forth therein did not constitute the crime of grand larceny. Justice Fitzgerald denied the motion and announced that Mrs. Cleveland's testimony would be heard. Mrs. Cleveland on the witness stand nag shown the alleged signature of Grover Cleveland, attached to the articles said to have been written by him and declared It was false.

He offered the place to Mr. Delano, who took it under consideration. Yes terday the president received a tele gram from the Wabash official re spectfully declining the honor. CAFE OWNERS OBJECT. Claim Government' Has Gone Restaurant Business. Into New York. June 55. At a meeting of the Down Town Tax Payers' association last night, a committee was apoplnted to in vestigate the restaurant opened under the auspices of the National Civic Federation and through the financial support of Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, in tne Brooklyn navy yard. This restaurant, which was formallv dedicated on the eve of Miss Morgan's de parture for Europe, a week ego, was thrown open to tlie navy yard employes for the first time lasfrright when appetiz ing meals were served at cost price. The Down Town Tax Payers association has taken up the matter at the request of a half dozen small restaurant owners outside of the navy yard and last night the allegation was made that the govern ment spent 16,000 in fitting up the res turant and is supplying water and fuel and light free -of charge, thus greatly handicapping the private restaurant own ers who must pay all these fixed charges, besides that of rent. PLAYING POLITICS. Accusation Hurled at finance Com mittee by' Senator Burkett. Washington, June 15. That the senate committee on finance Iras been engaged in playing "a game of petty politics" was today defiantly charged in the senate by Senator Burkett, of Nebraska. The assertion was made In connection with a report by the committee reducing from 150 million to 70 million the number of cigars, which may be imported free of duty annually from the Philippines. This change had been arrived at by the committee at a meeting held early to day and was the result of the repre sentations of Senator Bulkely of Connecticut with an important pro duct of whose state the Philippine tobacco importation would conflict. An extended colloquy between Senators Aldrlch and Bacon occurred with reference to the duty that would be lost because of the free entry of 70 million cigars into this country. Mr. Aldrich said he did not believe anything like 70 million Philippine cigars would be brought into this country under the law allowing their free entry. Mr. Bacon asked why it was thought necessary to make such pro vision for 70 million if the cigars would not be actually brought Into the country. Mr. Aldrlch replied: "It is to encourage a people who are under the United States flag." Estimating the loss of revenue that would result from the free entry of cigars from the Philippines to the United States at ?7, 500, 000 annually and the loss from free sugar at $10, 000,000, Senator Newlands declared that It would be better to make a di rect appropriation for -the benefit of the Filipinos as he was sure that the tariff concessions would benefit the great Philippine tobacco trust chiefly. Mr. Root appealed for the passage of the amendment as first proposed by the committee as a mere act of jus tice. Replying to a question of Mr. Newlands, the New York senator said he believed the Filipino people would be able to assume independence in their government such as now exists in Cuba. He, did not think that could be accomplished in the present gen eration. Several telegrams and resol utions from leaf tobacco growers' as sociations and other tobacco associa tions opposing any free importation of cigars 'or tobacco from the Philip pines were offered by Mr. Dick. A vote was then taken on the La Follette amendment reducing the numfter of free Philippine cigars from 70 million to 60 million and It was rejected, 38 to 27. The Republicans voting in favor of the amendment, were Senators Borah, Bristow, Brown, Burkett. Clapp, Cummins, Dolllver and LaFollette. stoleISsTastpenny.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1909. Mr. FYanklin A. Bogue of Chicago, formerly in Topeka and in the office of the general superintendent or tne ock Island-railway, -will.be: married tomor row to Miss Edna Cartwright of La Junta. At home after the first in cni- cago. Mrs. Charles J. Skinner -will give a luncheon Thursday- for Miss Mary Meade. Mrs. William A. De Ford 01 New Tork who comes tomorrow to visit Mrs. Skinner will also share the honors of the occasion. Mrs. I. S. Lauck and Mrs. Streight Lauck entertained their neighborhood bridge club this afternoon in honor of Miss Meade. This novel -negligee might be de veloped In cloth, silk or some sum mer material, and would be equally attractive in any. The model sketched was -of baby blue China silk with trimming 'of lace. The gown was cut in. one, the fullness being confined at the waist by a sash of heavy blue rib Tnon, weighted by tassels of silk. The bodice was surpice, being tucked into the band of lace, which passed be- 1 Heath the arm and separated the waist from the fichu-like sleeve. This Jace band mounted to the neck in a jjoint at the back, and below this the goods, after being laid in small tucks similar to the. front, fell free to the floor. This .produced an exceedingly graceful and novel semi-watteau ef fect, giving the impression of the eleeves and back drapery being in one. f An epidemic of whooping cough in one Topeka neighborhood had its start at a children's party. A child with the disease was Among Those Present and within a few weeks every youngster in the neighborhood was whooping. The mother of the little girl who spread the contagion is a C.

A Boston man who had never been off the Atlantic coast came to Kansas last week on a business trip, went to the western part' of the state and ran into a tornado. He rode lor miles in an automobile, which ran Into mud holes, he had to help lift the machine out and returned to Topeka plastered with clay. WONT he talk when tie gets back to dear old Boston? A To peka acquaintance tola mm ne naa lived 25 years in Kansas and had never been in a tornado, but do you imagine for a minute you could disabuse his mind of the belief that a Kansas cy clone is at least a -weekly occurrence? The average New Englander of av erage means, never gets farther away from home than JNew xorK. in To peka the Man from Boston had busi ness dealings with a crude westerner who emphasizes his r's and says eether and neether but who has been all over this country and Canada and spent one summer abroad. He has been in New York oftener than the Boston man and even knows Boston slightly. The Man from Boston supposed he was un dertaking a perilous Journey into the wilds when he left Massachusetts. He had no idear we had any cities like Topekar. Kan., west of Chicago. He had expected to see our main street composed of a few Chinese laundries and many saloons. Nevertheless when he tried to order cigarettes and a highball he exclaimed indignantly: Talk about the IView England Blue Laws!" A friend came to his relief and procured him some cigarettes and whisky (O yes! such things still be, they say), and he decided that the west-Was not so hopeless If only the people would drop their "Ahs." This story is not exaggerated In the least. The Man from Boston, Mass.. was fully as ignorant of the west as has been stated and quite as impressed by its? progress and development. This does not mean that he liked it or that one trip could overcome his prejudices. Nor does It mean that Kansas has nothing to learn from New England. The West has all the defects of Its virtues and a westerner can admit it and still be loyal. The West is a vig orous, valiant vital, vainglorious youth, with all the weaknesses of youth and all the strength. The East AN ITCHING PALM No Cure for It.. Othere Forms of Itching preferable. There Is no cure for an itching palm the money kind. Even poslam, the new skin discovery,, can not help it. But when it comes to eczema, the most annoying' of Itching skin trou bles, poslam .will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases in a few days. So with hives, rash, scabies, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forms of eczema, accompanied by severe itching and caused by Imperfect digestion and careless diet. Poslam comes in two-dollar jars, but fifty cents' worth will answer in curing any of the diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. Fred A. Snow makes a specialty of it. That results are Immediate will be amply demonstrated over night by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth street. New York city, will send free by mail, in plain wrap per, to any one who will write for It. is a middle aged conservative. It has learned many things the West has still to learn and Massachusetts can give advice which Kansas might profitably follow. They do many things better in Brookline many things which It takes generations to acquire but, on the other hand, there are more good red corpuscles in one block on Topeka avenue than in the whole of the Back Bay. If you don't know the east you don't know a big, consider able, important part of your own country. You must go East for what little of art the States can boast, for the four months of grand, opera with which this-raw young country -ot ours has to content itself, for the theaters, the cafes, the picture galleries, the libraries, the shops, the best effects in gardening, the newest fashions, and the stored up wealth. You have to go east for the cultivated accent and agreeable voices, the niceties of speech and expression and the refinements of taste. You have to go east for the big fortunes, and accordingly for the big scandals, for while people are alike in their personal relations the world over, no scandal i3 big until it con cerns the rich and prominent. But the westerner who makes fun of the good things in the east and boasts vainly that he wouldn't live in New York if you would give him the town is no more narrow, provincial, and fa tuous, though probably somewhat less sincere than the easterner who thinks there is nothing in his own country ex cept the Atlantic seaboard. The east erner ignorant of the west is just as Ignorant as the westerner who has never been east. .The Topeka jays are no worse than the New York jays and the benighted barbarian buried on a western farm Is in no worse state than the benighted barbarian of an eastern village. Each needs to learn from the other. Each needs to get away from his environment and go out in the world "for to admire and for to see." Neither can be educated. Informed, broad minded unless he knows about the other, understand its civilization and its viewpoint. Provincialism or cosmopolitanism is a state of mind quite as common to Potwin as to Ja maica Plains. The Merry Sixteen club will be en tertained tomorrow afternoon by Mrs. Homer Martin, 825 Jefferson street.

A charming dress hat of graceful proportions and outline has been re produced here .It 'was of fine -very fine-r-chip in a delicate shade of yel low. The crown .was low for this sea son's standards and broad and al- most covered by a rich black willow plume. This was most artistically ar ranged to give the needed height at the left, where the wide brim is caught up sharply by a cluster of roses shading from palest cream to a deep shade of gold. Tell a yarn! often enough and you will come to. believe it yourself. Two or three years ago a party of golfers at the Country club arranged a con spiracy against the club champion whose score of 38 was then the rec ord of the Topeka links. It was agreed to pad the score of one of the party and stick to the story that he had made it in 37. -Luck favored them and the man they had selected to beat the champion made the sec ond hole in one, a phenomenal Score, of course. This added luster to the story they told when they returned to the club house: their champion had not only lowered the club record but: had made the second in one. There was a story -about it in the pa pers and it was the sensation or tne golfing set for weeks and the three conspirators who had fixed it up on the real champion chortled among themselves and enjoyed their little joke tremendously. However, the bogus champion heard the tale of his triumph so often and enjoyed his stol en honors so thoroughly, that he came in time to- forget they were stolen. A few weeks ago he played a Tound with, a friend and when they came to the second hole made a per fectly good drive which landed him well on the- putting green. "I thought," he said as he followed up his ball, "that I was going to repeat that phenomenal, play of mine two seasons ago when I made this hole in one. You've heard about it, I sup pose? It was the day I made it in 36." "Now look here," his friend Interrupt ed, "I've told that story a good many times myself; hut I've never forgotten that it was a lie. I played with you that day and helped to frame that thing- up, but. I'll be. hanged if I'll have it pawmed off on me for the truth." The meeting Monday morning at the Commercial club- rooms -was for the purpose of organizing the club house committee of the city Fed, which is a committee of the whole federation. It includes the president of each club, the delegates, and all of the individual members together with the heads of committees, and the ex ecutive board of the federation. This body was organized for active work; in short to build a club house. Mrs. W. F. Schoch was. jelected chairman at the meeting Wednesday morning of last week and secretary, treasurer and assistants will be elected later. "The published list of Federation i committees is only a part of them," says Mrs. Monroe, the new president, "and if any one was nattering herself she had escaped the draft she will find that she is mistaken and that she will be found out later through her club. Already some gifts of fur nishings for the new club house have been reported. Everybody Is so thoroughly alive to the need of the clubs for a home that much enthu siasm has been manifested on all sides. Many women not affiliated with any club are quite as happy over the thought that the clubs are to have a home as are the club women themselves." A gown of natural color shantung Is pictured above. A dress of this va riety is alwajs a convenient article to number within one's wardrobe, being appropriate for so many occasions. The gown is entirely In self-tone ex cept for the little kerchief-like sash of delicate shade of blue, crossed at the bust from beneath the slioulder sashes of the material. The shaped semi-bolero effect below the bust is cut from coarse self-tone net with a design in soutache applique. The chic little turban worn with this is fashion ed entirely of tanstraw.

"Within the last three months, I have answered over 1,000 letters, from women asking one and the same question: 'What shall I do for my complexion?" and, although I dislike to write for publication, my knowledge of toilet articles will put any woman's mind at rest as to what she should use. "After 25 years of study in the treatment of the face, neck and arms, I find that few women know how to really improve their appearance. The usual treatment of the beauty special ist is a dangerous thing, as it is too harsh. It seems to have done good, but oh my! shortly hair starts to grow, and such a lot of wrinkles, and the skin soon becomes rough and red and is all dried up.' "The following simple home recipe will practically give any. woman a new skin: Dissovle an original package of Mayatone in 8 ounces of witchhazel. Massage the face, arms and neck with this solution twice daily. This will remove all shine from the skin, giving it a natural, dainty color. It prevents the growth of hair, and is absolutely harmless even to a baby's skin.

WANTEDJO DIE. Clara Risdon Saved by Prompt ness of Phjsician. Would Have Taken Two Ounces of Carbolic Acid. DISAPPOINTED INLO VE George Miller, Married, Promis ed Her a Home. Young Woman Found at Oak land School House. "I have never loved but one man and he proved false to me. I cannot live without him so I must die. My people are John Elsdon, telephone No. 1827 Auburn. They -will find my trunk at the Santa Fe depot. My suit case at 502 East Fifth. "CLARA KISDON." The above note was being written by the signer, a young woman 23 years of age, behind the Oakland school house, east of Oakland this morning about 9:30 when Dr. H. H. Keith, coroner, drove up In hia auto tnobile. Beside the woman was a bot tle of carbolic acid and if the coron er had been on the scene a few min utes later the woman would undoubt edly have taken the contents of the two ounce bottle. The attempted suicide was thwart ed in the nick of time and the young woman was brought to the city in the automobile and taken to the Prov ident association, where she is now in the hands of the officers a ner vous wreck, sobbing as if her heart would break and declaring that the man whom she had trusted and loved jwas untrue and disloyal to her. About nine o'clock this morning some small boys were playing in the pasture near the school District No. 36 when they saw the woman in the coal shed behind the school building. They also saw the bottle and the pa per on which she was writing. Fright ened at such a strange sight they ran to the road when they found Nick Chiles driving east from the city. They told him of the case and he telephon ed to Dr. Keith at once. The fast drive probably saved the life of the girl. It seems that Clara Risdon has been working at the Ladies Exchange restaurant for the last few months. For about two weeks she has been re ceiving the attentions of George Mil ler, a young man living at the corner of Fifth and Monroe streets. He took her to Vinewood. to the shows and to everything of any amusement in the city. She fell in love with him at once and last evening the couple had ar ranged to go to Kansas City and be married. She had packed her trunk and it was taken to the Santa Fe de pot. She then took her suitcase and went to the house of the young man to meet him and go on her way. In stead of meeting the lover, she was met by his wife, who asked for an ex planation of the case. Miss Risdon told her what was going on and asked for what reason she wished the Infor mation. Mrs. Miller then told her that she had been married to the said George Miller for some time. Miller then appeared on the scene and ad mitted that he was married and had just been having fun with the girl. According to Miss Risdon's story she pft her suit case at the home of her lover and with her eyes blinded with tears she started to walk not knowing where she was going. At last she ap peared before the drug store owned by W. H. Wilsoii at 414 Kast Fourth nr.d here she purchased a two ounce bottle of carbolic acid and went on her way. She first went to the river but decided that she had rather write a note before ending her life. This morn irg she arrived at the Oakland school house and sat down to take her poison and write the note. The note was scrawled with a broken pencil on the back of some examination papers used In the school room. It was written as. above. When found she was writing the address over again. She had been talking all night long and was worn cut with nervousness, grief and ex haustion when found by the coroner this morning. When speaking to a State Journal reporter this morning Miss Risdon said: "I had asked George many times if he was married. Ho had always said ro. I then asked him who the woman v. as he was with pome times. He said she was not his legal wife. His own brother told me that he was not mar ried and I believed them. I loved him and I don't see how I can live without film.

He always took me out In broad daylight and we have never lived together. We were going to Kansas City where he said he had arranged to marry me. I have de serted everything for him. I don't dare look my relatives In the face now. I don't want to live." When she had taken tb swift rtdo to the city with Dr. Keith her damnen- ed spirits were slightly changed for the better and she was anxious to re ceive' food and sleep. She is being cared for today at the Provident Association. IN ROYAL PROCESSION. Ah American Woman Rides for the First Time at Ascot, Ascot, Kngland, June 15.

Frank Fisher lies AH Xight Uncon scious on Creek Bank. Lying all night in a pool of blood on the bank of the Shunganunga op posite the mouth of the Locust street spillway, felled and rendered un conscious by the crash of a tree as he was getting the evening wood, Frank Fisher, 63 years old, arose at day break this morning In a dazed condition with a deep gash over his left eye, both eyes swollen and blackened and blood dried over his clothing. He wandered for hours about the streets trying to find his home at 810 West Locust street. At 7 o'clock a telephone from, the neigh borhood of Sixth and Harrison more than a mile and a half from his home, called the police to get the man who was reported walking about covered with blood, battered up, and carrying a hand saw. The patrol wagon went to find the old man and took him home where he again relapsed into unconsciousness. Fisher works for the Santa Fe in the water supply department. It has long been his custom after returning home in the evening and getting his supper to go to the bank of the creek across several back lots and cut up some wood for the house, a big pile in the back yard testifying to his dil igence. Often he does not come in until after 10 o'clock staying out on the creek, chopping in the half light. Last night he did not come In early and his family and stepson Jake Wall, all went to bed, expecting to find him this morning. But the old man was not in his bed this morning and a search was instituted. All the neigh borhood were out and curious and anxious. The chopping ground was examined and the blood bespattered tree gave evidence of his endeavors at cutting. On the ground was a pool of blood and the packed earth as of his night's resting place. No trace of the man could be found so the creek was dragged.

After After a severe illness of over a month, part of the time during which nurses and physicians did not expect him to live through each succeeding Tilght, Edwin Knowles passed away at 10:50 o'clock last night. He had been at the point of death, with his friends expecting to hear of his passing at any moment, for several days. For several years he has been a sufferer from heart trouble, and it was a severe attack of this malady which preceded the end. With Mr. Knowles at the time of his death were his wife, his son, Howard Knowles, and his daughter Mrs. Will Kaul, of Holton. Mr. Knowles was educated at Lom bard university, Galesburg, III., where lie grauated in 1853 with the degree of lA. B., and first came to Kansas on a kind of inspection trip in 1855. He took up his permanent residences in this Ptate six years later, and has been prominent in Its business and political circles since that time. Jilwln Knowles. Prominent Banker, Who Died Last Night. A short sketch of the life of Mr. Knowles is contributed by an old friend a.nd business associate in Serca, where he was engaged in the banking busi ness In the early days: "Edwin Knowles was a native of (Maine; born in Bangor, August 20, 1835. He came early to Iowa, where he prac ticed law. Later lie moved to Gales burg, Illinois, and engaged with- his father, the late Alfred Knowles.' In milling. In 1871 the mill was moved to Seneca. Kansas, and operated there by IKnowies Son. Upon the defalcation of ex-State Treasurer Samuel Lappin, Ir. Knowles was made one he trus tees of his estate, and through this af fair came Into active bank work at rieneca. The Seneca banking house that succeeded Lappin and Scrafford had large St. Joseph stockholders, who nlso owned control of the Sabetha bank. These associates of Mr. Kttowles persuaded him to ault milling and take personal control of the Sabetha bank, which he did in 1877. He also helped organize and start the Centralia- and Washington state banks, the latter still controlled by his family. Mr. Knowles had residences in both Seneca and Sa betha. In the St. John campaign for governor of Kansas Mr. Knowles took .n active part. He made a local- can vass of Nemaha county and his school house and town addresses were of great value in that campaign. Governor St. John appointed Mr. Knowles a member of the Kansas state board of charities in 1877 and he served as president of the board two terms. In this associa tion he became a close friend of P. I. Bonebrake, also a membe of the board; and upon the organ teatlon of the Central National bank tf Topeka .Mr. Bonebrake enticed Mr. Knowles away from Sabetha to become a To peka bank cashier. He held this posi tion until the organization of the Cap ital National bank to which he. was fleeted president. His thorough legal knowledge with a natural practical busi ness head made him prominent in the Topeka banking world, where he was acknowledged conservative and suc cessful." Mr. and Mrs. Knowles were active members of the Congregational church in Sabetha and Topeka. Mr. Knowles was twice married. A son, E. C. Knowles. by his first wife,- lives in Chi cago, and two children by -Mrs. I 'it A Pair CAMS AS AVE. Knowles, his widow, survive Howard Knowles of Kansas City and Mrs. Wil liam Kaul of Holton. SOUGHT A PRISON HOME Pitiful Plight of a Youthful Telegraph Operator. Russell, Kan.. June 15. Judge Rup penthal was called up by long distance phone from Hutchinson by Superintend ent Cady of the boys' reformatory, who stated that a young man of 19 years of age was there seeking admittance to the reformatory. He had pleaded guilty to forgery in the third degree at Hays City last week in the Ellis county district court and under auth ority of the parole law. Judge Ruppenthal withheld sentence to the reformatory and paroled the lad. The offense was forging a telegraph pass for transportation of the youth over the Union Pacific railroad from Ellis to Denver. He had been let out on the Union Pacific because he was no longer needed. When paroled he went to Topeka to seek re-empioyment as telegraph op erator, a calling he has followed for several years. Failing in every effort to get this work, he gave up hope and presented himself at the doors of the reformatory and asked to serve his time, of not over seven years. Super intendent Cady. with the eonsent of the judge, decided to send him to the Wich ita branch of the society for the friend less, which helps paroled men to get employment. POISON IS FOUND. Experts in Cleminson Case File Re port With Coroner. Chicago, July 15. Poison has been discovered in the vital organs of Mrs. Anna M. Cleminson, deceased wife of Dr. Haldane Cleminson, who is held pending an Investigation into the causes of Mrs. Cleminson's death. The coroner has received the report from experts. When the woman was found dead sev eral weeks ago the husband declared she and he had been chloroformed by burglars. The two pathetic figures In the Clem inson mystery are the beautiful young children made motherless by the mur der. The father, Dr". Cleminson, is in prison charged with the awful deed. though in a partial confession he has stated he would clear up the entire mys tery before the coroner's inquest. Mrs. Cleminson was found dead in bed in her own home and the theorv was first put forward by her husband that burglars had entered the house and chloroformed both of them. Match es were strewn about the floor and $30 in money besides silverware was re ported missing. Now the doctor, who is a well known Chicago physician, has admitted that the story he told is false and that he only told it to cover up a more far-reaching crime which would bring dishonor upon his children.

Accountant Gaff ord lias Not Completed His Work. PLACE FOR FRITTS. Washburn Graduate Will Sue ceed Chaplain McBrian. Gossip About the Congressmen Is Going On. I The preliminary trial of John Rad ford, former state grain inspector, is set for. tomorrow at Kansas City, but it is expected that a continuance will be given until June 22 in, order to al low the state accountant to finish his work of examining the records of the grain department during the past six years. When Crotts, the former chief clerk of the department was appre hended in Kansas City some days ago he signed a written confession in re gard to the alleged shortage, in the grain department. This confession tends to make the affair a serious matter for' Mr. Radford aa the clerk claims that he was paid money by the head of the department in order to assist in a system of defalcation. John Marshall, assistant attorney general, who had charge of the case against Radford in the beginning, has gone east to visit his relatives and will likely not be back for sev eral days, but Attorney General Jack son will be present at the Radford preliminary and the trial will likely be held on the 22d if the state ac countant finishes his labors by that time. It now develops that the discharge of Chaplain McBrian from the state prison at Lansing by Warden Haskell, waa the result of an investigation started in the governor's office some weeks ago. At that time Governor Stubbs sent Louis T. Fritts, a protege of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, over to the penitentiary with a recommenda tion to the board that he be given a civil service examination for the place of chaplain of the institution. Mr. Fritts made the trip to Lansing and looked over the situation and would likely have made formal application for the place had he not discovered that he would have to be ordained in order to be eligible for the chaplaincy. Young Fritts is a graduate of Washburn college and was a mission ary in Ceylon for three years. The governor's idea in selecting this young man for the place was to se cure a chaplain who would be fitted by experience and inclination to per form a practical and effective work in the penitentiary among the con victs. The Kalina Journal says that "Con gressman Calderhead has been put ting in his time since his return from Washington for a two weeks' vacation, in traveling about the dis trict explaining his attitude on the tariff, and telling people that the proposed tariff is all right, so it is claimed. So far as known he has not been to Salina. If he did, he came in his overshoes or stocking feet, and was not detected. When he was in Clay Center, he summoned his Re publican friends together, and told they -why he had been voting for a high tariff." The Salina Journal, (Bristow's paper), then goes on to quote a prominent Republican as follows: "There is one thing sure; and that is that the Republicans of the Fifth district will have to get a progressive, modern congressman into the race this fall, or there will be a Democrat from the Fifth district. Calderhead can no longer hold his grip, in the face of his attitude on the tariff in the present session. He has put him self out -of possibility as a candidate who can be elected. His own friends realize that it is either a pro gressive Republican, or defeat at the polls." The Journal is authority for the state ment that Judge R. R. Rees of Minne apolis, who made the race for congress last year, will resign his place on the bench and enter the lists against Cald erhead again next year. Coming events cast their shadows be fore. Already certain Kansas papers are devoting columns of space to show that certain Kansas congressmen voted and worked with the standpatters and reactionaries during the present session or congress. And the. Kansas states men in Washington are explaining their votes. There is every promise at this time of a fight next year in all the congressional districts and in the state at large that will make the campaigns of recent -years -look tame- and quiet in comparison. The-extreme progressives and the extreme conservatives will leap at each other's throats and the war of woras and display of records and ex hibits will grow apace. But in the end the large class of voters occupying the middle ground in politics will decide the elections. The Seneca Tribune is trying to spring a. sensation in First district politics by intimating in pretty broad terms that there is to be a third candidate for con gress whose identity is as yet unsus pected. This dark horse is touted by the Tribune as-being a likely candidate for the honors.. Age has not quenched the fire in' the heart of Uncle Bent Murdock. Rather, he has grown more impet uous with the passing years. Listen to these sentiments expressed In this week's issue of the Eldorado Repub lican: "This government has been domin ated by the corporations ever since the. civil war, save and except during the seven years of the Roosevelt ad ministration. -President Taft waa elected on the theory that lie would carry out the Roosevelt policies. Roosevelt said he would. Should President Taft not do so, or should he hesitate or fall down, he will not be renominated. But should he stand by the overwhelming demand, every where for a political square deal, from now on. he will be practically unanimously re-elected. The people of this country are being cheated in short weights, swindled by the robber trusts, poisoned by manufactures of practically every kind of food, and robbed; by an outrageous tariff rob bed of billions yearly and they will stand it no longer; and if they can't break the back of the trusts at the polls, they will do It by revolution. The people have waked up and are in for a political upheaval that will jar the continent. One can see it, hear, taste, smell and feel it in every breath of air that agitates the prairie grass. The political war is on and nothing but an act of the Almighty can stop it or turn it from its course, and it will be on until this government exe cutive, legislative and judicial is put back into the hands of the people who established it, perpetuated it. own it and are ready to go out and fight for it." SHALL THE SUGAR BE TAXED. Garden City Assessors Appeal to Tax Commission for Advice. Garden City, Kan., June 15. At the request of the board of equalization, County Attorney Roberts is in Topeka consulting with the state tax commis sion and attorney general relative to the question of tax on the sugar now in the big warehouse here of the United States Sugar Land company. It was found by the assessors that the sugar company has 100,000 bags of sugar in the warehouse. Heretofore the company has shipped the sugar to Kansas City or Chicago ware houses, but economy and climate led to the organization last fall of a ware house, company, and the stock Is large ly kept here until delivery, warehouse receipts being issued and funds ob tained for the company on them. Much of the sugar, practically all of It, is already sold or contracted for. The beets fromwhich the sugar was made were not -taxed as a growing crop last year, of course, for they were not planted when the -assessors went around March 1 1908. Hence, the question arises as to whether. the pro duct should be taxed, and if so, how much. The sugar company's attorney. Judge Hutchinson, and County Attor ney Roberts went carefully over the situation, looked at decisions, reports, etc., and could find nothing definite. The board of equalization did not want to do injury to the sugar com panw and at the same time wanted to do full justice to the county in the way of taxes. Therefore, it was checked up to the state tax commis sion and attorney general and present an Interesting problem in taxation. The sugar company's machinery- and lands and factory are, of course, taxed and since they produce the beets from which the sugar is made, some look upon this as disposing of the question entirely. But neither the board nor county attorney Is satisfied on this point. It is said the amount of taxes on the supply of sugar stored would be $5,000, five cents a bag, and the item Is a considerable- one for the sugar company. Baseball Phone.

WHEAT There is a section or country triDutary to at. Louis which always raises good wheat. Tn.M9 ttiaM gf vftnr tia,isilv In clined because of the appearance of the crop in mat vicinity, ms past iew days have also brought somewhat im proved reports from other portions of Missouri and Kansas. It is difficult to state what this improvement amounts to. The talk is sufficient to create con siderable selling from that quarter. Aside from this the situation is as bull ish as before, cash wheat in good de- a ai. i fV nrims strwltn rie. inaitu ucio -11 creasing at Minneapolis at the rate of 200.000 bushels a aay, mills an over me winter wheat country ready Jo absorb the first offerings frcm the new crop at better prices than primary markets can pay. These conditions must be kept in mind regardless of the reports on "scenery" and the near approach of winter crop will add a little fresh sell ing force, but we think the market is likely to be oversold easily, and that resting orders on the buying side t get wheat on further break will be in line for early profits.- CORN We think there can be no mistake in securing profits on long corn on the hard spots and yet we be lieve the selling side should be follow ed cautiously until such time as bright weather improved cul'vation of the crop and more liberal selling Of re serves give a much larger movement to this market. Logan Bryan. Liverpool, June 15. WHEAT Mar ket opened quiet. There was some pressure, owing to the easier American cables yesterday which prompted larg er offerings here. Fredictio"i were for large arrivals off coast and there was a poor inquiry for cargoes and parcels.

WHEAT Bears predominated on the curb after the closed last night and all of the talk on wheat was in. favor of .lower prices. It was based entirely, on favorable crop reports from KaJisas and Missouri.. It was said that the selling the last hour, which made the lowest prices for July" was on a report from St. Louis that' a car of new. wheat from south eastern Missouri will reach the St. Louis market Thursday. All the mes sages from St. Louis, indicated a very bearish feeling there and. they were so generally distributed and came from some of the best traders there in a way that would indicate that they .were making a strong effort to talk the prices lower without selling-any more than absolutely necessary. The Patten house remained bullish and sent out a message shortly before the close that it had sold 150,000 bushels cas'- and be lieve all wheat a purchase. The-local crowd had very little long wheat, last night and the majority of them were short. CO RSI Traders said that there was a lot of selling during the day for several large country speculators who were taking profits and that ConiPtock and Champlin had done most of the buying., on the early bulge.

Bache Co.: "We look for a broader and more active market with higher prices a little later on." W. C.
