The Distance Mapped Out Is 395.66 Miles. GO ABOUND 17 TIMES. It Will Be Decided on Basis of Time Elapsed. Start Is Made at 8 o'clock With Miller Leading. Crown Point, June 19. The Cobe cup race for stock chassis today be gan with a repetition of yesterday's perfect weather. Following is the list of contestants who started one minute apart at 8 o'clock: Miles per hour. 1 Miller, Stoddard Dayton... 44.1 2 Bourgue, Knox 48.4 3 Seymour, Apperson 53.0 4 Strange, Buick 32.4 6 Engelbeck, Stoddard Day ton 44.1 6 Florida, Locomobile 40.0 7 Denlson, Knox 40.0 J,.le urse of th,e "Western VanderbiH Race" at the Crown Point and one of the contesting automobiles with the well-known driver, MlUer, at the wheel, and his meciianic by his aide. At the upper left Is Fred J. Wast ner, starter. t 8 Little, Apperson 53.0 9 Robertson, Locomobile 40.0 10 Cheverolet, Buick 32.4 11 Hearne, Fiat 4 2.0 12 Burman, Buick 32.4 The distance mapped out for the race is 395.66 miles, or seventeen times around the course. The twelve big cars were early at their respective pits, where gasoline, lubricants and tires were stored in abundance. Although. Miller In his Stoddard-Dayton, was the first man pushed over the tape by Starter "Wag ner, there was in this only the ad vantage of having no one's dust ahead and 'the disadvantage for the time being, of having no pacemaker, the mere fact of being the first man in position carried no advantage as elapsed time will decide the race. Rough Spots Smoothed Out. Last night laborers were put to work on the road, which was cut up in yesterday's race, particularly at the corners and the rough spots caused by the Indiana trophy race were smoothed out as far as possible. As the start of yesterday's race was delayed an hour by the non-arrival of auto trucks to take the national guardsmen to their stations around the course, an earnest effort was made today to avoid a. repetition of this occurrence. The trucks were among the earliest vehicles to arrive, and squads destined for the more dis tant points on the park way were on their way by 6 o'clock. At the tem porary hospital no accidents were re ported among arriving spectators, crowds poured over the course in the early morning to various advantag eous points. The maple woods which beautify this section of the country were filled with visitors by the time the contestants got under way. From a height the country roads leading Into this city could easily be traced by the clouds of dust trailing behind the stream of autos, making their way in this din. Robertson with his locomobile was the first of the drivers to appear in front of the stand at the repair pits. Robertson finished second in the Indiana trophy race yesterday but was confident of carrying off the Cobe cup today. "I did not properly time my race yesterday," said Robertson, "As I held in too long before letting out. A few seconds less in each mile would have rut me in the lead as the records show I was making the best time on the last three or four laps.. I intend to cut out a faster pace today from the start." All Ready for the Start. Miller was the next to appear and his car was given a thorough over hauling at the pit. Florida and Den ison followed soon after. The Fiat, the only foreign car entered in the race, driven by an amateur, attracted most attention. By 7 o'clock all the cars were at the pits. Burrman, Ohrevolet and Strang, the three Buick drivers, which failed to finish yester day, expected hope of better luck with their three bigger entries today. The race brought out seven drivers who were new to the spectators as they did not contest for the Indiana trophy yesterday. They were Miller, Bour que, Seymour, Englebrook, Denison, Lyttle and Hearne. The Indiana trophy won by Matt Eon in a Chalmers Detroit yesterday and the Cobe cup, both immense con ceptions in silver were on exhibition in front of the official grandstand. Mattson, although not a contestant to day waa among the early arrivals SATURDAY EVENING. with the car which brought him vic tory. Mattson Is Given Silver Cup. Just before the start of the big race Mattson was presented with the In diana trophy, a massive silver cup, by President Ira M. Cobe, of the Chi cago Auto club. The cars were sent away on the exact schedule time, 8 o'clock. Miller was first over the tape. The first five drivers each had screens affixed to their, steering posts to protect their faces from flying gravel thrown up by proceeding cars, Florida and Deni son wore big near-white handker chiefs pinned to the tips of their caps. This was not for ornamentation but to have them handy for wiping the dust and oil which accumulates quickly on their goggles. Major Funkhauser, in charge of the guards men of the Illinois militia, kept the space in front of the grandstand ab solutely clear and Starter Wagner was able to send the big machines away on their long desperate task without a hitch. At 8:12 the last car. a Buick, driven by Burman sped on its way. Going 87.6 Miles an Hour. Bourque passed Miller nn the south leg. Miller apparently was having diffi culty with his goggles as he passed the judges. He was steering with one hand, holding the other to shade his eyes. Denison came next and then Englebeck. Robertson, Chevrolet and Lyttle follow ed. Lyttle stopped momentarily to re pair some unexplained trouble. Strang was eighth owing to a broken cotter pin, which he replaced with the loss of a minute or so. Seymour's tire troubles came fast. He had hardly started on the first lap when he was compelled to change two of them This was followed by the shift at the stand when' he strapped a new supply of spare ones to his ma chine. The electric timer catching the final hour for speed trials gave Burman a rate of 87.6 miles on the first lap. Denison made the third lap in 22:34 and took the lead. Chevrolet captured the second place by making the third round in 24:11. Burman, who led previously, dropped to third place, 1:06 behind the new leader. Chevrolet's driving was consistent, as there were no more than nine sec onds difference in his pace during the three circuits. The leading cars so far. had made close to a mile a min ute. Strang had more trouble out on the course. Lyttle stopped during the third lap to replace tires. It cost him seven or eight minutes. A Dramatio Moment. An intensely dramatic moment marked the finish of the sixth lap. Denison, the leader, -stopped for lu bricant and the men in the Stoddard Dayton pit worked urgently to get the car away with as little loss of time as possible. Chevrolet, who was 1:19 behind, likewise stopped at the Buick pit. Here he was literally giv en the lead, not by the speed of the machine, but by the mechanist's fe verish haste when he was supplied with lubricant. The Frenchman had prepared an immense funnel into which gallons of the thick lubricant could be poured at once. Half a doz en men passed the cans from hand to hand. Much of the stuff was spillefl but the battle of the pit hands was in favor of the Buick man. Chevrolet was 1:19 behind when Denison stop ped, but he went Immediately behind the Knox pilot, the record of elapsed time showing his lead to be 2:21. The oiling process gained for him more than three minutes. Denison who seemed a certain con tender for the cup broke his connect ing rod and was compelled to leave the race. The machine caught fire at the roadside but the flames were ex tinguished by the use of sand. Nearly a Mile a Minute. Before Chevrolet lost the lead he had made 186.19 miles in 3:10:55 at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. For four hours, without a sign of abatement, he maintained a pace fas ter than the majority of express trains. Miller at the end of the ninth lap, stopped seven minutes and changed tires all around. Engleback's car at the same time skidded, crossing the tape almost sideways on the softened roadway. A serious accident seemed Imminent, but the driver soon gained control of the plunging ma chine. Chevrolet broke a piston valve but continued on three cylinders. Passing the stand, the Locomobile was 13 minutes ahead of him. Burman's withdrawal from the race was offi cially announced. His time for 116.37 miles was 2:02:51. Strang was stalled and though not formally an nounced was out of the contest. Sues Insane Husband for Divorce. Gate McKIbben is suing Bert L. McKlbben for divorce. She says in her petition that he is now in the Insane asylum, as the result of a loathsome disease he contracted while running loose Instead of sup porting his family. She says that for several years before the' disease made him insane he abused her and failed to provide for her. DEAD INA TRUNK Body of a Young Girl Found in a Room In an Upper Story of a Chinese Restaurant. IDENTITY IS IN DOUBT Indications That It Is That of Elsie Sigel. A Granddaughter of the Noted German Warrior. New York, June 19. Elizabeth Sigel, daughter of Paul Sigel, of this city, and granddaughter of the illus trious Franz Sigel, the German war rior, who served with the Union army during the civil war, is, according to all indications, the victim of one of the most mysterious murders in the history of New York. If she is not the victim, the police are confronted with a remarkable series of coinci dental facts. Taken from a trunk in a room of a Chinaman above a chop suey restau rant In the tenderloin, the body, in a state of decomposition, which makes identification diffioult.is In the morgue while detectives are conducting the threads of a tangled story involv ing the girl and her associations with Chinese. An envelope addressed to the girl found in the room where the body lay, a locket bearing her initials, her disappearance on June 10 and a note found in the room, signed "Elsie" all seem to indicate that Franz Sigel's granddaughter was murdered. The body was partially stripped of its clothing, tied with .ropes, wrapped in a faded blue blanket and crammed in to a dilapidated old trunk where it lay for a week at least before the odor crept through the building, arousing the suspicions of the phleg matic proprietor-of the restaurant be low, who summoned the police and instituted an investigation. The case has many unusual feat ures, notable among which is the fact that a Chinaman- has been known to call at the Sigel home, presumably with the sanction of the parents. Elizabeth, or Elsie, was 20 years old, and was greatly interested in work among Chinese. It is understood that she became acquainted with one Chi naman who may be able to throw some light on the case, several years ago, when he conducted a cane rack at an amusement park at Fort George. Neighbors say that the calls of the Chinaman at the Sigel house ceased more than a year ago. At the morgue Mr. Sigel would not say that the body was that of his daughter. In fact, the police say, he declared positively that it was not, but he declined to look at various let ters and other bits of evidence which would seem to indicate that it was she. Mrs. Paul Sigel when shown the Jew, elry found in the trunk, containing the body of the murdered girl, identified it as that worn by her daughter Elsie. According to Mr. Sigel, his daughter disappeared from home June 10. Two days later the family got word from her in Washington saying she was safe and would be home the following Monday (June 14). Nothing, her fath er said, has been heard from her since. He gave her age as 20 years. A number of letters which the po lice expect will throw light on the case were found In the room where the body was discovered. One written in Eng lish addressed to the missing China man who occupied the room, but un signed, warned him that if he did not stop paying attention to Elsie Sigel he would meet a terrible fate. The other letters found were written by a girl who signed herself "Elsie." According to the police the missives were written in terms of endearment. SUSPECTS HAVE GONE. Police Are on the Trail of Chinamen Friends of Elsie Steel. New York June. 19. The murder of Miss Elsie Sigel. granddaughter of Gen. Franz Sigel, whose body was found last night, crowded into a trunk in the room of a Chinaman after she had been strangled with a cord, appears to be the most remarkable case the New York police have had to investigate in many years. One of the odd phases of the case is the failure of the murdered girl's father Paul Sigel, to identify the body as that of his daughter, while th5 girl's mother has declared that the articles of jew elry found in the room with the body belonged to the daughter. Acquaint ances of Miss Sigel, who have seen the TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE body of the murdered girl asserted that it is that of Miss Sigel and a number or persons have been found by the po lice who declare that the young woman has been a friend of the Chinaman, William L. Leon, in whose room the body was found. Notwithstanding these identifications it was stated at the home of Mr. Sigel today that Paul Sigel, the girl's fath er had gone to Washington, "to bring Elsie home." Leon, who was also known by sev eral Chinese names, was still unfound today as was also Chung Sin, who oc cupied a room adjoining that of Leon. Both rooms are on the fourth floor of 728 Eighth avenue, between Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth streets, over a Chinese restaurant, conducted by Sun Leung. Suspects Here Fled. The police are searching for Leon but with scant hope of finding him as it is believed the murder was committed possibly as early as Thursday. Today the police gave out a report that Leon and Chung Sin had sailed last Friday for Vancouver, B. C. on a steamer go ing by the way of the isthmus of Panama. Precautions have been taken to Intercept the steamer at an inter mediate port If possible. The police of Washington have been asked to aid the New York police by nnding the original copy of a telegram wnicn was received by the girl s par ents from that city last Saturday, sav ing: "I will be home by the end of the weak. Don t worry. It was signed with the name Elsie Sigel. Miss Sigel had been engaged in mission work among the Chinse of the city for four years, having become in terested there in by the activity of her mother in behalf of the Christianiza tion of the Orientals. The young wo man was about 20 years old.- This morning Florence Todd, one of the mission workers in the Chinese section, who identified Miss Sigel's body told the police that the girl and the Chinaman had been thrown much to gether for a few years and that Leon was greatly enamored of the girl, that he was intensely Jealous of her, and disliked her to receive the attentions of other men. This had caused Miss Sigel to fear Leon, Mrs. Todd said. Many Letters Found. That Leon had other correspondents than Miss Sigel was discovered when between 1,500 and 2,000 letters, mainly from various women in New York and other cities, were found in his room. Among the number were a number sign ed "Elsie," which were described by the police as love letters. The contents Of most of them was not revealed by the police, but in one of them "Elsie" reproached Leon for causing trouble between her father and herself. "Just think of the sacrifice I have made for you," she wrote In one. A note book belonging to Leon and con taining the names and addresses of hundreds of women and girls was found in Leon's room. One of the discoveries regarded by the police as significant Is that Miss Sigel's shoes and stockings were not found in the room, where her body was discovered. It Is inferred from this that she had been kept a prisoner there and that her footwear was taken from her to prevent her from leaving the room. LOOKS BRIGHT TO TAFT. He Says Race Feeling in the South Is Growing Better. Washington, June 19. "The feeling between the white race and the colored race in the south Is growing better each year," declared President Tatt, before presenting diplomas to nearly 20C grad uates of the local colored high schools and the colored normal school. Several thousand people gathered In convention hall to witness the presen tation. "I do not care if there are extremists who differ from me," continued the president. "They do not represent the real white feeling in the south. As negro labor becomes more efficient, so does the Industrial progress of the south move on. "In the endeavor, self-restraint .and industry of the race itself lies its hope of success. I do not minimize your burdens, but those of the future are as nothing compared with those which you have already overcome." He told the graduates that the treat problem of the colored race was with the great uneaucatea part of the race In the south, who, "Must be taught hope and that each negro carries in himself the power to make the race respected by the whites."

George Dovey, president of the Boston National league club, died on a Pennsylvania train between Cedarville and Xenia early today, following a hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr. Dovey was on his way to Cincinnati, unaccompanied. Pittsburg, Pa., June 19.

BAILEYJVILLING, The Texas Senator Consents to a Postponement Of the Ineome Tax Until Tariff Eill Is Settled. HIDES ARE TAKEN UP. Schedule Levies a Duty of 15 Per Cent Ad Valorem. Writh Provision for Drawback When Exported as Leather. Washington, June 19 Senator Bailey, speaking for himself and most of the Democratic and Republican incjrne tax advocates, announced at the opening of the senate session today that he would consent to postpone the disposal of the income tax question until after the tarln" schedules were disposed of. It became apparent at once that the postponement would be made but there was nevertheless some debate before a definite conclusion was reached. After debate had proceeded for half an hour, an order postponing the sub ject was suggested by Mr. Bailey and agreed to. The formal presentation of tne matter was made by Mr. Aldrtch ana it iook tne lorm of a unanimous consent agreement to defer the entire income tax and corporation tax aues tions until the schedules are out of the way. At that time Mr. Bailey's amend ment for an income tax and the com mittee's substitute for it will be taken up and kept before the senate until they have been disposed of. Mr. .-iaiity again sought assurance that no motion would be made to re fer the amendment to the committee. but was met with a prompt response from Senator Heyburn, who declared that he would not agree to such a pro position. Mr. Heyburn added that he was opposed to any income or corpora tion tax "or to any other subterfuge," as a means of paying the expenses of tne government. Aldricli Makes a Suggestion. Senator Borah suggested to Mr. Aldrich that the finance committee should not delay in bringing in its plan for a corporation tax as con siderable time will be required to dispose of it. "I may as well say now as any time," replied the Rhode Island sen ator, "that the committee has re quested the attorney general to pre pare an amendment and under the direction of the president he will do so, giving us; no doubt a provision largely reflecting the views of the ad ministration. As soon as it is con sidered by the committee it will be reported to the senate and I hope that will not be later than next Monday morning." Mr. Bailey then suggested, the irregularity of the proceeding. "I understand." he said, "that bills to raise revenue originate in the house of representatives and not in the White House." Replying that it was not a question of raising revenue, Mr. Aldrich said the committee merely wanted the president's proposition in concrete form to consider it. The amendment was then allowed to go over. The finance committee's amendment to the hides paragraph of the tariff bill saw the light In the senate today for the first time, being presented there by Chairman Aldrich. It levies a tariff or 15 per cent ad valoreln on "hides of cattle, raw or uncured, whether anea, salted or pickled," with a provision ror a drawback equal to the duty when ex ported in the form of leather. The amendment was In the language of the Dlngley law and the effect is to take hides from the free list, where the house left them. Basing his objection to a duty on hides upon the claim that it would tend to perpetuate the beef trust, Senator Clapp declared that his constituents were patriotic enough to give up any advantage they might reap in the possible higher price of hides in order to help destroy a trust. How about the leatner trust r- in quired Senator Warren. Continuing, he said before the "beef fit" .-ame into being hides were so cheap that farmers could not market them. Now, he added, hides bring a higher price and shoes are not higher in price. If we can get two trusts Dy tne ears ana lcnocn ineir ucous i6i" I think that is the better way," sug gested Mr. Warren, who could see no advantages in placing mura jh lug nee list, to injure one trust, while the other would thrive by the action.

Forty-five persons wno nave died recently form the basis of a most remarkable re port on bringing the dead back to life, according to the Medical Record. Of the forty-five cases treated under the new theory of manipulating the heart by the hand seventeen patients were resuscitated, nine with com plete recovery- The remaining eight died after a short time. Forty of the cases treated are said to have been due to the anaesthetic admin istered. The report says that in each instance immediately after death en sued, or not more than live minutes afterward, the chest wag opened and the heart was given a direct applica tion of manual massage. "After .the chest cavity has been opened the hand is forced in and the heart is grasped and pushed toward the arterlor thoracic walls." accord ing to the Medical Record, "and the ventricles are squeezed rhyth matlcally at about a normal rate of heart beats. Sometimes fully fifteen minutes elapse before any re sponse is obtained. During this time assistants should be busy with artificial respiration, saline and adrenalin infusions tongue traction, intubuation or trachaecotomy and elevation of pelvis and legs."

The fact that nearly all of the sufferers from this trouble, which recurs an nually are residents of cities and very few live on farms. Dr. Carter ex plained by saying that hay fever sub jects are of a certain nervous dis position and that their nervous con dition makes them subject to the dis ease.

ETVE CENTS, GOES TOJHE JURY The Long Drawn Out Trial of Patrick Calhoun Ends. It Began January 12 and Has Lasted 158 Days. BREAKS ALL RECORDS Transcript of Proceedings Makes 4,250,000 Words. Expense Is Estimated at Oyer. $50,000. San Francisco, June 19. Concluding the greatest issue of San Francisco's graft campaign, the case of Patrick-: Calhoun, millionaire president of the United Railroads, charged with brib ery, was given to the jury shortly be fore noon today after a trial that dates back to January 12, 1909. Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney. in a speech in court that opened an hour before the usual time, added materially to an argument that had already ex tended over a period of fifteen hours before Judge W. H. Lawler began hla charge to the Jury a few minutes be fore 11 o'clock. Everv faction shade of bitter sentiment that has arisen since the overthrow of "Boss" Abraham Rueff was reported to the overwhelming throne- that tnrmi1 t floors of Carpenters hall when court as sembled this morning. Mounted police men charged into the crowds again and again and a full company of pa trolmen Inside the building and out was scarcely able to preserve order and regulate admission to the court room. When Mr. Henev faced the 1nrv for the final installment of his arid hall was packed' to suffocation, men and women prominent in railroad life, who had fought for entrance, counted themselves fortunate to have the privil- rtre 01 stanaing in remotest corners, while in the streets, hundreds were marshalled in line by the nollce nf stood patiently at the ends of the block, denied even the privilege of re mainlng in the vicinity of the hall. Trial Lasted 158 Days. Not alone, because of excltin bitter ness that has marked man v of tf tia but because of its length, has the trial been a notable one in western history. Between January 12 of this year when the attempt to secure the first jury man was instituted, and todav. when the case was given to the 12 men finally seiectea, nve months and a week elaps ed and 158 days had intervened. Of this period 110 days had been devoted to court sessions. In this respect the case outstrips every record, including the case of Abraham Reuff, who was con victed after 76 days devoted to actual court procedure. A thirteenth Juror. Michael Murnhv. was added to the regular panel of 12 by order of Judge Lawler. with the ex pectation that his services might be required by emergency. Three months and two days were necessary to quali fy the 13 Jurors. Of the 2,310 citizens summoned by the sheriff 1,423 were act ually subjected to interrogation bv thn attorneys in the case, peremptory chal lenges were first exercised on March 9, and since that date six members of the Jury have been in custody of a court bailiff, residing at the St. Francis hotel. Four other members of the rja.net have been separated from their fami nes ana Business ever since March 31, and the others since April 14, when the thirteenth Juror was qualified. The typewritten record of the case amounted to 2,500,000 words when the iurv waa completed. Judge, attorney and wit nesses have added another million and three-quarters to the bulky transcriDt. since- that time, making a total of 4, 250,000 words. The cost of the trial, including; the maintenance of Jurors, a special police aei.au, iransenpt ana tne usual expen ses of the court for so great a oeriod can only be conjectured, but It is esti- matea tnat it wm exceed 150,000. Mr. Heney brought his agument to a close three minutes ahead of the al lotted time. A moment before he -was engaged in a review of the testimony of a supervisor. Judge Law lor remind ed that 'the remaining moments were few and Mr. Heney, throwing aside a quantity of notes yet unreferred to, said: "Gentlemen I thank you for your at tention. I leave this case in your hands. confident and expectant that San Fran cl3CO will have no cause to question the good faith of your verdict, what ever it may be and that the state ot California will learn from your conduct that we do not have to bring before a jury the men who saw a briber tc pass the money to secure a convio. tlon and that any amount of circum stantial evidence will not be treated) as insufficient when a wealthy man isr on trial, although a supervisor Coffey; ior instance can De convicted in a few minutes."

Cooleysox Give an Example of Stupid Playing. HIT KAUFMANX HARD Tall Twirler Not a Puzzle to the Jobbers. "Wearer's Hitting Only Interest- ing Feature of Combat. For pure bonehead work the palm must be handed to the Topeka team. The Witches took the lead in yester day's game In the eixth inning when the side should have been easily re tired and they were never headed. The gray matter of certain Topeka players ossified in the pinches in this Inning, and there was no more chance of getting a little headwork in the game than there was for a flshworm to crawi through a cement pillar. Buck Weaver Preparing For a Batting Fest. In this round which proved the de cisive one of the game, Hughes led oft with a single to left field. Pennell laid down a bunt and here is where the trouble commenced. Both Abbott and Kahl tried to field the ball. From the press box It looked as though either could have taken it, hut the bag was left unguarded and Pennell was safe. Holland moved each runner a peg with another sacrifice this one being properly fielded. Westerzil hit one to Kaufman, and as Hughes was hug' sing third like a long lost lover Kauf man threw to Abbott. The throw pulled Abbott slightly away from the bag. Pennell was away off second and Abbott essayed to catch him, throw ing to KahL Hughes darted for home. and Kahl and Abbott fiddled with. the ball until Hughes registered. Event ually the only out made on the play waa the one on Westerzil who was caught where he- could puncture the bag with his feet. There was an abun Idant opportunity afforded for the throw to the plate. Pennell scored from second a moment later when Pettigrew dropped a Texas leaguer into right field. With this present of two runs to the Chesty Leaders, the To peka athletes worked with a listless spirit, a gingerless, chaotic mob. Topeka counted once in the sixth, thanks to two walks by Brennan. With one out Geler walked. Kunkel fanned but Fenlon drew another free piece of transportation. It looked like fruit with Abbott up, but Cooley with his ankle unfit for service was working his noodle, and sent Kerns in to hit. Harry Butcherlno slammed the first one into left field and Geler hit the pan. Kahl lifted one to Cole and hope took a flight. In the eighth Weaver, Isbell's staple shaped hatpin, walloped one to left field on a line and when .b'enion untangled Buckerino wa3 on second standing there in such a way as to totally eclipse the pennant pole, which in itself is quite high. McManus let one slip out of his mit and Weaver reached third. Cole lifted a high one to Geier. Louis Philllppe got it squarely in the chubby distal segments of ms upper extrem ities, but in his anxiety to nab Weaver before he made those three steps wnicn would land him on the plate, dropped the ball, and Topeka was another run to the rear. In the ninth with one down, Kahl failed to squeeze Weaver's grasscutter and Brennan tor the dust ofT the right field foul line with a two sacker. Cole hit one to Richard Bolivar Kaufman which bounded from his shin to left field and both men tallied. In the ninth Topeka produced some hope of a batting rally. Kerns can nonaded one to left for two bags and scored on Kahl's single. Downie drop ped one to right field, but McManus fanned and Thomason who was sent in for Kaufman didn't see first. No small credit for the victory must go to Josephus Adoniram Brennan, who pitched swell ball. He had some thing on his delivery that sent the hits skyward. The Jobber outfield took care of a third of the putouts. In the pinches the La Harpe lad was as cool as a brick of Ice cream, and Topeka was practically helpless.

As luck would have it Buck Weaver, who v;as on the same train, got in about the same time. Buck who operates a chicken ranch at Manhat tan must have had two or three good fries and some eggs of recent origin under his belt, for he came through with four hits for the Hollanders and practically, won the game. Two thousand people witnessed the game, many of them being ladies, who enjoyed the privileges of Ladies Day. The same teams make the final clash tomorrow, and if it Is a beautiful day the crowd ought to be the best of the season. The tale of disaster: TOPEKA. Players AB R. H. PO. A. E.

When he arrived late he goi me giaa nana from the fans. Mullen ha3 a good following here. Stanley Roblson. the president of me ji. louis uardlnals. was in the grandstand. Mr. Robison Is on a quiet hunt for pitchers. The Cardinals only have three who are working good now .and there are some double neaaers to come later on. Beebe, i-neips ana sanee. are the trio, Robison will have a pretty hard time to get any players at this time or year. Brennan who worked yesterday Is merely loaned to Holland by Kansas City. He will revert to Mr. Tebeau in the fall. Cooley worked out on first a little bit before the game. Dick's ankle is still in a bandage however, It Is probably Burnum this after noon and Hendrix is due to repeat tomorrow. Both of Pennell's hits were Tom McNeal announces his inten- tion to jump In. scratchy. Each time he tried to bunt and succeeded In beating it out, by poor fielding. Ned Pettigrew must be finding it harder to hit In the Western league. Ned never was- as low as sixth place In the batting order before Kerns was the only effective hitter for Topeka yesterday. Kerns got two hits, and each time Brennan only threw him one ball. Kaufman got one on the knee in the fifth and another on the shin in the ninth. Kunkel failed to hit safe. The nearest to a hit was a foul which bounded over the left field fence. Two of Topeka's hits took bad bounces at short, but neither counted. One hit Anderson in the face. Denver 11, Pueblo 6. Pueblo, Colo., June 19. In, a slug ging match here yesterday Denver bested Pueblo, by hitting more opportunely. Hatch's wildness in the early innings contributed to Denver's lead. Bonno went In in the sixth and pitched a pretty good game. The sensational work of the Denver out field robbed Pueblo of several hits. The score: PUEBLO. Players AB. K. H. PO.

Holland is looking for another pitcher to take the place which was partially filled by Happy Westcott. Brady of Kansas City, may land the Job. Sandy Grlswold of the Omaha World-Herald still thinks that the Pueblo club will be transferred to St. Joseph. It is the general opinion of all the sporting writers with the ex ception of those at Pueblo that the club at least ought to be transferred. The following is from a Fresno dis patch In the San Francisco Bullntin: I The fans got more than their money caiiea ror in tne morning game when Forrester, with Fresno In the lead by a score of 4 to 8, In a fit of temper lost control in the last of the ninth inning, walked two men and hit an other, thus filling the bases. A wild ball hit the backstop, allowing two men to score. Forrester contended against Atkinson's decision and when the umpire refused to yield the bel ligerent pitcher hit the umpire in the race, irorrester was fined. The Pueblo Chieftain insists that Pueblo draws larger week day crowds than Topeka or Wichita. Why is it then that Pueblo has to pay the guarantee on all the games played there. Roy Miller, the rightfielder-piteher of the Pueblo team. Is a full fledged doctor. He has received word that he successfully passed the examina tions at his medical school in Toronto, Ont.- Pueblo has a new third baseman. Locke from the La Junta team in the Colorado State league. Locke was with the Indians in the spring prac tice and was merely loaned to La Junta. It is not likely that he will be kept as the team Is looking for another third baseman. Paul Cobb, who failed in three dif ferent Instances to hold down a job this season is now playing with the Fresno team in the California State league. Cobb is a free agent, so that his playing with the outlaws does not affect his standing in organized base ball. Hogrlever will probably go back to the Pueblo club as soon as his suspen sion ia over. He will likely have his suspension waived at the end of ten days. Jay Andrews is speeding right along with his Oklahoma City team. The big doctor is now tied with san An tonio for third place. The team was in seventh when Jay took charge. Hagerman has recovered from his sickness at Chicago, and is now warm ing up daily. He will get another chance at the enemy within a few days. Lincoln News: Higgins has picked up a dazzling short fielder in young Cooligan, who has shown Buperb form In the series In Lincoln ending yester day. This diminutive Mick, besides be ing able to cover a world of ground, gets rid of the ball with marvelous speed. Best of all, he can heave the sphere to first from almost any posi tion. His throwing is a vivid remind er of the work of Jimmy Barton, with the Lincoln club three years ago. Kansas City Journal: When Boles figured in a double he made a pretty play. Boles came in close to short and the batter dropped a fly right In his mit. He whipped the ball to first and two were out. That is the kind of field ing that makes men valuable Boles is about the best bet we have had In left field in a long time. He hits pretty nicely and fields as well as Carlisle. Carlisle is a good fielder and a fair hitter but he was suffering a slight slump In his hitting and it was good Judgment on the part of Mr. Beckley to give him a rest.' The Wichita team looks pretty good to Topeka fans. In Weaver they have nna f thB best catchers in the league. The infield is pretty fair but this Is the team's weakest place. Holland isn t a lively as he once was. westerzil is good fielder but a weak sticker while Anderson has a bad arm. Hughes is the best infielder. The outfield is play ing a good game and the hitting of this department is winning lots of games. Cole who was secured for a doughnut is a find. Pennell is tearing the cover off the ball, while Petti oronr la nlaviner his usual clever game. Middleton an extra outfielder is a good man and can hit In the pinches. The pitchers, 'who never looked good on dope are going at top speed. Shaner and Brennan are the winners at pres ent, but Clark and Altchison are keep ing well up. Shaner and Brennan were never more than fair pitchers last sea son, while Clark wasn't considered fast enough for the W. A. The way these youngsters are flinging for Hol land is surprising the league. The fate of the Jobbers rests on this depart ment. If the pitchers can keep their top speed gait, the team will finish high. If. not the team will slump. The Jobbers' position in the race is due to the fact that the pitchers were work ing in the. early part of the season when the veteran players on other clubs were just getting started. Hoi- And this afternoon with honors even they are still fighting. land has need of another pitcher, for one of his present winners at least is due lor a slump. He knows it and is trying to get his strings on one or two. The TODeka team dlsannointed some of the fans when the present home series opened up. The team dropped two in a row to Denver and the club wasn't hitting. Now it is different and the fans are happy. All of the players seem to have recovered a batting eye ana nearly every game ol late nas Deen won by opportune hitting. The pitch ers are working better and the club Is fielding good. In fact Topeka has one of the best fielding clubs In the circuit, we are headed for a higher position in the race end with seven teen more games on the home grounds we ought to do well. Nearly everv one knows that Cool- ey's given name isn't "Dick" although the title has hung to him ever since ne was a barefooted youth but not one in a hundred knows his real name. Here Is the key to the awful secret: He was christened Duff Gordon Cooley Dut ne hasn't been called that for so long that he has almost forgotten it himself. STATE LEAGUES. Where They Play Tomorrow. Kansas State -League. Hutchinson at Great Bend. Newton at Great Bend. Strong City at Wellington. Central Kansas League. No games scheduled. Junction City Union: As a re sult of yesterday's trouble. Manager Armstrong of the local baseball team was benched by the directors at a meeting held last night. Thrailklll Isn't making a killing in the C. K. circuit. The Abilene Chronicle takes occasion to roast the Kansas City athlete, and the paper does a good job of it too. Ellsworth has a Armstrong too. He man. player named is a first base- Armstrong is probably as well satisfied as anyone over the outcome of the Junction City affair. The old Hoss can make more money taking care of Cousin Jawn Kling's billiard and pool tables. Out at Junction City big Tom Campbell is still walloping the ball. He scored three runs with a hit In one of the games against Minneapolis and a hat was passed through the stands which netted the new Junction City captain a nice bunch of money. Fritz Hamlin one of Hoffman's umpires was with Lyons in the K. S. league for. some time That boy Harris got off another good game Thursday when he shut out the Twins. He will be back in To peka next season If he can keep up his good work. The Hutchinson team is picking up since going back home. Those Kansas state teams are playing some clever baseball. Scarce ly a day passes by .but there is a shutout or two. Delphos 1; Simpson 0. Delphos, Kan., June 19.

C, After July 1st the funds in this bank will be Humor States Place Has Veen Offered to Dean Waters. TELEGRAMS ARE SENT Miss Lorena demons' Resigna tion as Secretary Accepted. Place to Be Filled by Her Assist ant, Miss M. Buterfield. Manhattan, Kan., June 19. The board of regents of the Kansas State Agricultural college has adjourned to meet again June 28 at Fort Hays. A committee consisting of Regent Blackburn and President Nichols was chosen to act further on some of the general actions of the board. Nothing definite is known of the steps taken by the board in regard to the selection of a new executive for the school or of the other more impor tant matters in connection with the college. The committee has been electing some of the assistants, of which there will be about twenty new ones. G. E. Bray, a graduate of Minnesota, uni versity has been elected to fill the po sition of assistant in mechanical en gineering. The department in the farmers' institute work will have eight new assistants. It has an ap propriation of $20,000 for this year. The state is to be divided into three sections, an eastern, a middle and a western, and a man elected for each. His duties will be general supervision of institute work in his territory. Aside from these, departments of in stitute work along lines of road mak ing, horticulture, domestic science, physical science and dairying will be t reated and an assistant secured for each one. The work along these lines is grow ing more extensive each year, its purpose being to educate the people of Kansas who can not attend her in stitutions. For next year the appro priation for that same work will be $27,500, showing that there is a real demand for that sort of exposition of advanced methods. Miss Lorena demons who has been secretary of K. S. A. C. for the last twelve years handed in her resigna tion to the board yesterday and the place will be filled by Miss Margaret Buterfield who has assisted Miss demons for a number of years. Because Regent Blackburn sent spveral telegrams, many suppose that definite action was taken in regard to the presidency. Dean Waters of the department of agriculture at Missouri university is guessed at as the most likely man for the place, and that is founded on the fact that Regent Blackburn admitted that one tele gram was for Waters. The box con taining the name of the man for the position is still air tight. Other can- j tlidates are in the field but their names can not be learned. THIS MAN LONGS TO BE OUT UP. .Strange Mania of a Vagrant in Leav enworth Hospital. Leavenworth, Kan., June 19. One night this week a man walked into the police station and told Lieutenant Murphy that the wound of an opera tion in his abdomen had opened and that another operation would be nec essary to save his life. He was pen niless, he said, and could not pay for medical aid. Lieutenant Murphy had him taken to St. John's hospital. The man's name is James Conway. Conway is possessed with a mainia for operations. On his abdomen he bears the scars of nine operations and one eye has been removed. One pear in the center of his abdomen is sixteen inches long and he told Dr. A. L. Suwalsky. the county physician, that this particular scar is the mark of an operation in which a section of )iis intestines, twelve inches long, was removed. Conway also told Dr. Su vvalsky that Dr. Murphy of Chicago, one of the foremost surgeons In America, had operated on him and that he was last operated on by Dr. Swoboda at Omaha, Neb. The man simulates the symptoms of appendicitis and pleads with Dr. J-'uwalsky to operate on him. There pre four scars over the lower part of What Stove for Summer?

Gun Slipped From His Hand and Load Struck Near Elbow. Lyons, Kan., June 19. O. H.

The big event of next week for To peka club women is the Federation Field Day at Vinewood. This cele bration, instituted last year, and which will be an annual event, is un der the direction of the Federation but it is intended for all women's or ganizations. Most of the women's so cieties, fraternal, religious, social, literary and others will join the Fed eration Tuesday. If the weather is fine and the crowd large the Federa tion will make some money for the club house fund. A contest drill of lodge teams will be a feature of the program. All lodges and societies are invited to participate. The Club Member this month is the best number in many a day. It is a souvenir edition of the Topeka Federation with a picture of Mrs. F. W. Watson on the cover and sketches about the individual clubs, with pic tures of their presidents make up most of the magazine. Mrs. A. H. Horton who is to be in charge of the club headquarters at the Topeka Chautauqua is arranging a comprehensive program. The sunset hour will be devoted to the meetings and the Women's Kansas Day club of which Mrs. Horton is prominent, the The Fanner's "Wife Is very careful about her churn.

Tn the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro-j cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is it not apparent then that if this stomach-churn is foul it makes foul all which is put into it? The evil of a foul stomach is not alons the bad taste in the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, but the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and sun bath do for the churn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele ment. In this way it cures blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, sores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

Different phases of club wok, its present and it3 possibilities will be discussed. Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter is get ting more and more of a Chautauqua vogue and in fact no Kansas Chau tauqua is complete without' her. At the Lincoln Park Chautauqua this summer she will read a series of six short stories. An interesting event in club circles next week will be the reception at the club headquarters at the Chau tauqua for the women on the grounds and the members of the Topeka Fed eration, Mrs. A- H. Horton and the officers and past presidents of the Federation will receive. It will be a Simple Life reception; decorations furnished by nature exclusively, re freshments, ice water; no prepara tions, no fuss, no worry, no expense. The W. C. T. U. department in charge of Mrs. L. A. Case, Mrs. G. M. Blair, and Mrs. O. M. Currie an nounces a reception at their head quarters Wednesday at 6 o'clock; Miss Irene Welshans will give read ings. The Missionary tent is to be in charge of Mrs. J. P. White. Friday af ternoon there will be a program by Miss Ceora Lannan, reader. Miss Ruth Kinne and Mrs. George Lerrigo will also be. on the missionary pro gram.' Miss OnO May Miller, vocalist, will be one of the artists on the W. C. T. II. programme. Mrs. Hatton will give a whistling solo at one session. Frank Hardy Lane's lecture, Shakespeare's Royal Portrait Gallery, will be an unusually strong feature of the Chautauqua. There will a Washburn College Day. No feature of the program promises more interest than Miss Effie Gra ham's lecture. Misa Graham is at the head of the department of mathe matics in the Topeka high school and besides being well up in her specialty she has a pronounced literary gift and a talent for public speaking. Her lecture, "Living Arithmetic," is pro nounced by those who know some thing entirely out of the ordinary. She takes that, (to the average lay man) dry-as-dust subject of the ped agogy of arithmetic and makes it ab sorbingly interesting. Her lecture is illustrated cleverly and it is really a distinct achievement of which Tope ka people have reason to be proud, because in it Miss Graham has hit upon an idea original, clever and worth while. Miss Martha Berry of Rome. Ga., who has established an industrial school among the Southern Highland ers is known for many miles around as "the Sunday lady of Possum Trot." Miss Berry is beloved and respected by the tall, gaunt mountain men and women and to her is intrusted the care and education of their children. The mountain folk are a strange mix ture. They are shrewd readers of character and their mistrust of edu cated persons is remarkable. It is the personal touch, which money cannot buy, that has helped Miss Berry in her work with them. Miss Berry tells of the beginning of the large industrial school which she has established. Ten years ago. she in vited a group of children to her "log cabin study" in the orchard for a Sun day school lesson. The class became permanent and soon the mothers and fathers and even the omnipresent yel low dogs were brought each week to be instructed. A day school started by and by, and. after Miss Berry realized the great need for education among these people and how pushed aside and neglected they were by the world in general, she resolved to devote her life to giving them at least a fighting chance. The first Christmas that the small chain of mountain schools was es tablished proved the Waterloo to Miss Berry's social life, for she sacrificed a house party and a week of good times and pretty frocks to stay in the country and give her little ones a Christmas tree. People who had to come for miles in ox and mule teams were at that tree and she not only gave away ev ery trinket she possessed, but calmly helped herself to those belonging to her family. Then she deeded a farm she owned as the site for a school buildins and today it is valued at $150,000 and i3 a well equipped Industrial, agricultural and preparatory school. The gradu ates are admitted to the state univer sity and the industrial standing of the institution is excellent. There were istiZ, J fifteen teachers and the tuition for one year is $50. No boy is required to have the money, however, as he may work his way through with com plete independence. The boys cook, clean, wash and do all the work indoors and out. There a-e flourishing debating societies and the graduation exercises have become quite a social event for the residents of the Blue mountains. It is Miss Berry's hope sometime to establish an industrial school for girls, although there are a number of day schools which both boys and girls attend. The West Side Reading club will have an evening for the members and their families at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Anderson, 1101 Tyler street, Tuesday evening. "And what is so rare as a day in June, Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries the earth, if it be in tune. And over it softly, her warm ear lays." When Lowell wrote the above lines. it must surely have been on such a day as last Tuesday. Slightl- overcast, in the early morning hours, the sun soon dissipated the cluds, and there was Just enough breeze to ren der the day delightfully cool. It was the annual picnic day of the W. T. K. club. The picnic was to be at .the country residence of Mrs. H. A, Holcorab, some six or seven miles northwest of Topeka, and at an early hour, a merry party of club members, in carriages, with well filled baskets, started, and after a delightful drive arrived at the pleasant home of our hostess, who gave us a royal wel come. Mrs. Bowen's auto spread constern ation among the feathered denizens of the farm yard, and one stately gander having evidently heard that, "Westward, the star of empire, takes its way," spread his wings and follow ed with all haste, and whether he ever returned this deponent knoweth not. To describe the dinner would sim ply be cruelty to those who were not there, and I refrain. Sufficient to say that it was worthy of our hostess, and of the W. T. K. club. But all delightful events must end, and even perfect June days are no exception. Shortly after dinner, dark clouds rolled up from the west; a drizzling rain began to fall, and with much regret, the W. T. K. club and its guests departed. .The latter were Miss Florence Davis, Miss Kathleen Middaugh, Miss Grace Klngland and Mrs. Howard Stuart. A county club, called the "Willing Workers" was represented by Mrs. D. L. Button, Mrs. Bert Button, Mrs. Banner Cole man and Mrs. Ed Hutchinson. Our hostess, Mrs. Holcomb, to whom we owe so much of the pleasure of the day, is a member of both clubs. F. E. C. The Rambles club was entertained Monday afternoon by Mrs. W. Whip ple. The following program was giv en: Paper on Michael Angelo by Mrs. Frank Stevens; reading from Stod dard on Florence, by Mrs. J. Howard Stuart; a paper on Savonarola, Mrs. H. E. Lyman; reading on Evolution by Mrs. W. E. Atchison. The club will meet in two weeks with Mrs. Rigby at her home, 313 Tyler street. HEAVY RAIN AT COUNCIL GROVE. Some Damage Done to Heavy Wheat and Late corn. Council Grove, Kan., June 19. A heavy rain fell here Friday afternoon at 2:45 which might well be called a waterspout, and did much damage to the heavy wheat and late corn.

THREE NEW STATIONS Efforts Will Be Made to Build Up New Territory. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Garden City, Kan., June 19. The Garden City, Gulf Northern railroad has started actual construction. The work is being- done by the Kan sas Construction and Irrigation com- pany, of which B. M. McCuno is presi dent; J. W. Hope, treasurer; Edgar A. Tennis, secretary. The steel rails and track accessories have been awarded to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company of Denver. Passenger and freight cars go to the American Car and Foundry com pany, St. Louis.. Passenger and freight engines are awarded to the Baldwin locomotive, works, Philadelphia, Other contracts are: Crosstles and lumber, McShane Lum ber company, Omaha. Cement and building materials, Jackson-Walker company, Wichita. Grading, Hopkins Renlck, Garden City. Concrete work, F. E. Morgan, Garden City. There will be three principal stations between Garden City and Scott. The most important one will be. McCue, where the enereies of the railroad will be concentrated to build a good town. Alfalfa will be located between Garden City and McCue. Between McCue and Scott, will be Shallow Water. Each of these towns will have confortable stations and shipping facilities, and it It hoped will have a bright future. The engineering will be in charge of Wardall Brothers. Mr. Tennis, who has had charge of the finances of the company, will also have charge of construction. Work will be vigorously rushed so as to insure the completion of the line before December SL The present intention of the com pany Is to take the main line through Deerfleld and not come further into the corporate limits of Garden City than to reach the sugar lactory. A more friendly attitude upon the part of Garden City, may change this route. All of the material contracts above referred to, were awarded more than 30 days ago, and actual work in the field has been withheld because of ne gotiations with the electric railway people, whereby Mr. McCue and asso ciates had hoped to secure the roadbed of that company. Faxiing to do this, work, has been started upon one of the established lines of the steam road, which runs on the section line immedi ately north of the sugar factory. FOR REVISION OF RATES.

His bond was fixed at $3,000 and un able to furnish it he will be taken to the county jail at Leavenworth to await the grand Jury, which will sit some time in October. Elmer Doyle, the young driver who was included in the plot because he al lowed Battles to drive the i.agon with out any authority, was acquitted of the charge.

SAM B1TLER WAS SEEN. Convicted Murderer Held Up Three Farm Hands at Volland. Alma. Kan., June 19. Sam Bitler, the condemned murderer who escaped from Reno county jail Tuesday night by sawing awav the imprisoning bars, met three farmhands at Volland. in this county and robbed them ot tneir pos sessions at the muzzle of his gun, secur ing about $20 in cash. The robbery was immediately reported to Sheriff H. C. Erickson, who with a posse has scoured the country thoroughly since that time. The description of the highwayman who relieved the farmhands of their earnings tallies exactly with that of Bitler, who is a man considerably over six feet in height. All trains leaving this section of the country in which Bitler was last seen have Deen cioseiy guarded and his escape in this way seems to be an impossibility. He is .imnnwri to be in hiding in the tim ber and underbrush in this section and may yet be captured, although ha seems to have dropped completely uui ui slu-Ht for the time being. at least. Bit ler is unusually tall, being six feet seven inches, making his identification easy. He killed Mrs. John Rosenber- ger in Kiowa county. 1 SANTA FE h Mr. T. C.

START WITH BAZAAR. Already Pledges Are Being Made by Organizations. Donations Offered to Start Ball a Rolling. Club house, club house! That was the one topic of discussion at the first meeting of the new executive board of the city federation of women's clubs with the new president, Mrs. lee Monroe at her house, 909 Harri son street, Friday night,' So many new individual members are coming into the Fed in order to help build a club house for women that it Is pro posed to submit a new by-law which will organize the individual members alphabetically' into groups of -ten for purposes or representation. Some wo men don't have time nor inclination for regular club work, but would like to help in some of the morel important federation measures, such as building a club house. They can do this bet ter if they are organized to the ex tent of having voting representatives at the business meetings. Mrs. Mon roe has suggested this bylaw and the Fed will probably be asked to vote on it. This talk about a women's club house the city Fed is going to build may sound to you like an idle jest, but it isn't. Topeka needs a women's club house and the Fed is in earnest about getting it. You may as well make' up your mind to "pass the hat tor your credit a sake and pay, pay, pay." You may say there are plenty of club houses but you must remem ber that they are for the members only. The federation club house will be for anybody who wants to rent it for any suitable purpose. It will fill the aching void left when library hall was made over into a reading room and picture gallery. Since the days of library hall Topeka has had no really satisfactory public place for a big dance or other entertainment. Ev ery time there is a state meeting or convention in Topeka there is a de mand for a big banquet room. The federation club house will have a big audience room with a first class danc ing floor, and a big dining room, ar tistically decorated and fully equip ped. The rentals of these rooms will pay the running expenses of the club house and anybody who doubts this, simply doesn't know how much such things are needed in Topeka, Kan-. Many women who are not club members but who realize how much a club house for women would mean to Topeka are coming into the Fed as individual members in order to help in the organized effort for a club house. The Good Government club has pledged $100 to the club house fund beside its contributions to the bazaar to be held in the fall by the federation. The Research (formerly the Froebel) club has pledged three articles for the bazaar from each member and will take charge of the candy and confectionery booth. The Minerva club will have the "eats" and the delicatessen department. The Clio club will raise a sum of money by private enterprises this summer and will take the apron and bags booth. A feature of the bazar will he a doll's millinery opening. The Topeka hatters will make the frames and the junior bazaar committee of the Fed will trim 2000 doll's hats. Every lit tle girl in Topeka will be invited to take her doll to the "opening." The Women's and Children's Field day at "Vinewood Tuesday for all wo men's and children's organizations and societies is under the auspices of the federation, which will get a percent age of the receipts of the street rail way company, for the club house fund. STILL FAVOR BLEACHED FXiOUR Southern Kansas Miners' Club Dis cuss the Regulations. Hutchinson. Kan.. June 19. The Southern Kansas Millers' club elected these officers here: President, L. R. Hurd. Wichita: vice president, A. J. Hunt, Arkansas City; second vice president, William Kelly, Hutchinson: treasurer, W. R. Watson, Wichita; executive com mittee, H. Lassen, Wichita; George H. Hunter. Wellington: C. M. Wal lace,, Winfield; J. H. McNair. Hal- stead; F. D. Larabee. Hutchinson; P. Kimpler, Ellinwood; H. H. Hill, Arkansas City. The millers, at their annual meet ing this year, have discussed bleach ed flour principally and it is probable that there will be a united effort to ignore the regulation of the state board of health prohibiting bleach ers. There is no law on the subject and the millers believe that by stand ing united on the subject they can defeat the effect of the regulation, which they regard as unnecessary. So far as interstate trade is con cerned, some of the largest millers are planning to set up bleaching plants in other states, and bleach the flour sold in those states at point of destination, thus evading the inter state commerce law. Meanwhile Kansas millers will support the efforts of the National Association of Millers to have the bleaching regula tion of the national department of agriculture modified. Dead Letters In. Germany. The dead letter department of the German imperial postofflce is working overtime, ana rrom a comparison of the statistics compiled for a number of years the patrons -who use the mails are growing more careless or ignorant of the correct method of writ in e- the address. Of every million pieces of man nana le a Dy trie imperial post the undeliverable matter Increased from 327 pieces in 1904 to 396 in 1907. a eain of 21.7 pel cent. During the latter year sn average of 10,000 pieces of mall were sent daily to the dead letter depart ment to puzzle the experts. Althone-h literacy is exceedingly rare among the native Germans, where a good educa tion is possible tor any child, neverthe less the incorrectly addressed letters are, for the most part, examples of a woeful lack of schooling. It is very probable that in the vast majority of cases the sender is a newly arrived immigrant, possessing practically no ed ucation one of the great class that has been attracted by Germany's rapid commercial development. Many of ta dead" letters entirelv omit the point of destination in the address and oth ers give only the first name of the addressee. In 1907 75 per cent of the nondeliveries were of the picture pos tal variety. Harper's Weekly.

WHEAT Following our decline of yesterday Liverpool comes higher this morning. Local bears con tinue to sell on the. sunshine and Improved harvest reports and the pros pects of harvesting becoming general in the near future. Hedging ot new wheat at St. lxmis and scattered of ferings from the new crop to this mar ket leads the short seller to hope for an early movement and a heavy market. But interior millers are the only ones ready to pay fancy prices for the new crop. Heding sales here are not enough to keep the market down after the local bears have forced prices lower. When there is a hard spot they like covering. Short sales are made on the weak spots, the wheat goes into stronger hands and this puts the market in shape for frequent and quick rallies. We believe in the buy ing side on the oversold spots. Logan Bryan. Liverpool, June 19. WHEAT Market opened steady, the lower American cables were offset by the firmer Argentine offer ings.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 19, 1909. 5 NORTH SIDE NEWS Thinks KansasWheatWillReach 80,000,000 Bushel Mark. Opinion of Chas. L. Plumb, New York Flour Man. bUU FLOUR POPULAR Growing in Demand in New York and England. What Is Going on in the First Ward. "From what I hear I am inclined to think that the wheat crop in Kan sas will reach the 80,000,000 bushels' mark Instead of yielding only 60,000, 000 bushels," said Charles L. Plumb, New York representative for the Kaw Milling Company, this morning. Mr. plumb is on a trip through the West and Northwest to inspect wheat con ditions. He attended the Southern Kansas Millers' convention at Hutch inson a few days ago and came into touch with the leading grain men of southern Kansas. He says they all "feel jubilant" over the wheat prospects but think the farmers will try to get a good price for the crop. Mr. Plumb used to make Topeka when he traveled for a Chicago whole sale firm several years ago. He has been in the flour business in New York for about ten years. "I have been away from New York for about three weeks." said Mr. Plumb this morning. "When I left what prospects in the east looked good. New York and Pennsylvania are soft winter wheat states. "Kansas flour is becoming in great demand In New York, also in Eng land, and will continue to do so. It is eiuii wuineu cu hid iiwui v. tJ" winter wheat, and has the strength of flour made from hard wheat. Conse quently there is a. more demand for this flour than ever before. "When I look back over the history 0 r. ti twl nnmnar. TiTPHPnt V i 1 o.'it v prosperity of the farmers with their former impoverished condition, it almost seems like a romance. "I remember once in 189 4 I was in Atchison and saw line after line of prairie schooners en route for the east, driven by farmers who had become discouraged at croo failures and were going back east. "However those who stayed are now well fixed, and when this wheat crop is harvested they will be better off than ever. "I attended the Southern Millers' convention at Hutchinson recently and this opinion seemed to hold there. Al together I am inclined to think that high prices will prevail. The farmer can now afford to hold back his grain until he gets a good price. "As to the recent high price of flour, I do not think that was caused by Pat ten's forming a 'ring' or any thing like that. I believe that Patten simply woke un to conditions a little quicker than any one else and took advantage of it." Mr. Plumb was born in Stratford on the Avon, the home of Shakespeare, TCngland. He has been' in America forty years. An exceptional good program will he given at the Bijou Dream tonight. Don't miss it. The following history of the W. T. K. club is from the June Club Mem ber: Nearly twenty years ago. some ladies of North Topeka met together, and un dor the leadership of Mrs. Martha Wright Morris, organized a literary society, to be known as "The Ladies' Reading Circle." In November, 1893, the year of the Columbian exposition, Mrs. Morris called together such members of the old club as remained or were inter ested and some others and proposed to reorganize the old club under a new name. The project met with instant favor, and the new club, arising, Phenix like, from the ashes of the old, be came a fact. It was some time before a satisfactory name was found, but Mrs. Morris who had been chosen pres ident finally suggested "Want to Know Club." and this unique name was adopted. Mrs. Morris called a few of the more earnest members together and sug gested a course of study and a year book for the entire year. This sug gestion met with favor; the entire club endorsed it and English Literature was chosen for the first year's regular work. The first program committee were. Miss Cole, chairman; Mrs. J. A. Campbell and Mrs. W. D. Lacey, with the president as general adviser. The club commenced existence with twelve members, which number was afterwards increased to eighteen, then to twenty and afterwards to twenty five, and this last number is its pres ent limit. It joined the State Federa tion at an early period of Its existence and was one of the charter members of the Gity Federation, with which or ganization it labored faithfully until about four years ago, when it withdrew from membership with both. The W. T. K. Club has had two presidents in its entire oHRtence, and it has been singularly fortunate in both. Mrs. Morris was president dur ing the first nine or ten years of the club's life, when she left Topeka and returned to her former home in Chi- Garfield Park The Ideal Picnic Park Good Boating and other attractions.

Her present home is at Glen dale near Los Angeles, Cal., and though she is 76 years of age she is an active member of a club in Glen dale. She was succeeded in the W. T. K. Club by Mrs. M. M. Hale, whose rule has proved bo popular that the club members have consistently refused to consider any other candidate for this office. There are but four of the original members left in the club and they date back to the "Ladies' Reading Circle." They are Mrs. M. M. Hale, Mrs. J. A. Campbell, Mrs. W. H. Davis, and Miss Fannie E. Cole. AT THE CHURCHES TOMORROW. Kansas Avenue Methodist Episco pal church, John W. Waldron, pastor. Sunday school at 9:30 a. m., Calvin Holman, superintendent. Preaching at 11 o'clock.

June 19.-: Frank Donnato, a wealthy Amster dam Italian saloonkeeper, who has been on trial at Fonda for being ac cessory before the fact, in the mur der of William E. McLachlan of Crane's Hollow, in July, 1907, was today acquitted by a jury which handed in a most remarkable verdict. The document reads: "While in our minds and opinion, we as men, regard the defendant as guilty, yet after considering our oaths as Jur ors, and carefully considering the evi dence as placed before us, we can not find sufficient evidence to convict and thereforj render a verdict of not guilty." The jury was roundly scored by Jus tice Spencer, who ordered the clerk to remove their names from the list of available jurors for future service. FOUND JHE BEER Police Capture a Wagon Load After Long Bun. Negro Was Getting Beady for Sunday Business. FOUND m THE BRUSH. Owner Escaped to the Tune of Whistling Bullets. Expressman Who Hauled Supply Is Impressed. the What! No beer! That's what we thought. But there's hogheads of it to the number of four just taken from the brush, now in the cool basement of the city prison, captured by one of the prettiest dashes of the patrol on record. Tipped as it were by a bird. Black Mariar was ordered out post haste at 9 o'clock this fmorning and the chief jumped onto the seat beside Driver Leach while Guard Cannon, Trusty Barrett, and the reporter swung onto the rear. Fast and reckless driving over car tracks and around corners, the bell clanging and multitudes stand ing in awe along the byways, found the patrol tearing northeast and down the river way to the spot designated. At the turning of the road at the foot of Jefferson street a growth of cottonwood trees shielded a little shed half tumbled down. A horse's head showed through the underbrush and an old trail led in. Never hesitating the wagon rushed on. Two startled black faces looked up. One yelled,' "Beat it out" just as the chief leaped off the seat, and doubling up did the rabbit around the corner of shed down the line of the Santa Fe Shops while the prince of police pumped lead at his feet. Every shot striking the ground bounced the black many feet into the air and re-doubled his speed. Meanwhile the rear door of the wagon had been unbolted to let out reinforce ments and Guard Cannon bounding around the west cutoff caught sight of the game and gave chase shooting as he ran. But there was no nearing the fugitive. A negro coming along the road a few minutes later said he went by with the speed of a passenger train. Turning to the shed, the chief saw the paralyzed expressman. Royal Mer ritt, standing beside his wagon almost loaded with sacks of beer while others were on the ground on a pile of hay. Four great barrels emptied of the bot tles told the story of the process and Merritt gave the details. It "was Jube Jorden's beer just hauled from the Santa Fe depot. At the shed it was being placed in sacks each bottle pack ed in a heavy paper wrapping to be delivered after being hidden away in Jube's house until the darkness of Sat urday night and the coming Sunday. That a great time was on for the crowd on Saturday night and Sunday is evident and Jube had planned a great scoop On the law and finances of the commonwealth. Merritt said it was so though he had been hired for $1.50 to haul the stuff and had noth ing to do with it, and was sorry Jube had not been caught thus relieving him of the blame. Trusty Barett was set to loading all the beer and barrels onto the express wagon of Merritt's while he was placed In the Black Mariar. All on, the great weight of beer made the old wagon groan as it pulled away, Barrett driv ing under guard of Cannon. Very care fully the load was driven as it was a perilous task to get it over the tracks and to its final resting place in the dungeon of the prison. A warrant and several policemen will watch for Jube all day around his haunts. It is thought that he will never see Topeka again, surely not If he Is still maintaining his passenger train speed, but if he does, he will get the hooks set deep. Meanwhile Merritt mourns in the station. "I was a-lookin at you all," he said when asked why he didn't run and he told the truth. Because he prayed too long and was sung down. Ed Duck, a fervent worker at the city Mission at 310 Kansas ave line, had a real grievance which could only be relieved by drink and he was fined $5 for taking it. Duck, one time regular boarder at the station but for a year or more reformed into a zealous religious work er and abstainer, has been most loyally devoted to the troubled little mission through the winter getting subscrip tions and clothing to aid the needy. Now the strong fort in whose strength he has relied to help him conquer, has turned against film. A week ago he paryed for strength to be given him and kept on praying. The audience de siring divine aid for other things grew jealous of his monopoly and, while he continued to plead, arose to sing. drowning him with their voices of praise. Realizing what had happened. Duck felt a thrust of pain through his heart. Brooding over the cruelty heap ed upon him when he had prayed for strength, finally made him rebellious and he took a drink. Seen by the chief of police at the time he was advised to be careful or he would revert into his former habit. Last night he wavered far enough to take several small drinks and got drunk. He was dressed in his best and clean shaven as was his wont for wor ship but instead of praying at the Mission, today finds him locked in the prison unable to pay nis nne. The pop-pop-cop has again tak.n out the bubbling bike after a long idle ness and last evening ran down five speeders. The long sojourn of the bike has been noticeable in the growing speed of the motorists who have begun to reach their former rates. H. S. Putney was found to be doing more than the limit at 8 o'clock last night and this morning pleaded guilty for a fine of $5. Frank Grimes, tester for the Smith company, followed with a speed of 30 miles and will he tried today. C. H. Gaunt, assistant general manager of the Santa, Fe, was taken next after a long chase. At the station he joked freely about the escapade. Hutton had seen him first in the west part of the ctty and swung in behind. Gaunt then threw on the Juice lor a chase and led Hutton to the east part of town where, when he got up 4o miles an hour, Hutton's hat blew oft and he drove on out into the country only to be caught up with later by the cop. He put up a $5 bond which he will probably forget. Byron Willcuts, produce merchant, was next and will be tried this even ing. G. L. Seymour, automobile salesman, was caught "beating.lt" on Central avenue in North Topeka and told to come down to the station this morn ing. He came with a great deal of insolence for the good judge who got wrathy during the interview because Seymour tried to dictate as to what would be the course of a judge to pur sue. The judge used to know Sey mour when he drove a cultivator out on the farm and has an idea that the new sort of carriage has upset the saiesmans mental equiubrium. Sey mour gave $10 cash bond and intends to fight the case. Jamaica ginger and Jap-a-lac makes a good concoction wherewith to formu late a souse according to Charles Mitch ell, arrested last night by Patrolman weatherly. Mitchell was carrying three large bottles of Jamaica ginger and a half gallon of jap-a-lac when arrested and the police regard him as a bootlegger of his brew which is guaranteed to floor the taster. Beside the three bot tles and the half gallon can. Mitcheli had a bottle of the essence of some thing which the police could not deter mine from -the taste and smell but think it was the key to the dope. Mitch had Just $7.50 and was fined $5. He took his book from the jailer. Well, judge, you divided pretty well with me but you got the big end. I am always willing to split with a friend." DIVORCE CASE APPEAL. Wm. Hamilton Not Satisfied With Ac tion of Lower Court. The appeal of a divorce case to the su preme court is a rather unusual occur rence but only the usual features are in volved In the case of William Hamilton vs. Anna J. Hamilton, appealed from Gove county, the papers in which were filed today. Mrs.. Hamilton, in the trial in the lower courts, alleged cruel treatment on the part of her spouse and asked for a divis ion of the property, alimony and the cus tody of the minor children. The couple had been married twenty-nine years. The trial Judge, who appeared to be a Daniel come to judgment, summed up the case in a decision of length and clearness. His award of the property apparently showed the wisdom of a Nestor dividing the Trojan spoils among the Greeks. He re fused to grant absolute divorce for the reason that the couple had been married too long to take such a step in the haste of anger. He agreed to consider this phase of the proposition later if both parties continued in the same frame of mind. In the meantime, with the proper ty divided, they can live apart awhile and report on their experience in a state of single blessedness. As for the children, the Judge decided that they should choose for themselves which parent they would rather live with. It can be seen at a glance that this Gove county judge covered every phase of life and misfortune and philosophy and human nature in his findings in this case. SUI1 the defendant, William Hamilton, was not satisfied and appealed the case to the supreme court. The decision of that honorable body on the status of marital woe and separation will be re ceived with Interest by a large number of people in this state and may result in the establishment of a new basis from which to settle domestic difficulties and divide property in such cases. May Free Patrick. Albert T. Patrick, the alleged mur derer of William M. Rice, will be aided in his next fight for freedom by Dr. Joseph Bell, the original of Sherlock Holmes, and physician in ordinary to King Edward. A decision is expected next Friday from the supreme court on the motion of Patrick's lawyers for a new trial, and in the event of it being granted, sensational developments axe promised in the celebrated case. Dr. Bell, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and a number of the greatest surgeons and physicians of Great Britain have been aroused by the strange details of the Rice murder and by the efforts of Dr. William Smith, professor of anat omy and medical jurisprudence at the American College of Osteopathy, Kirk wood, Mo. Dr. Smith has secured a monumental petition, which contains the names of over 8.000 doctors and em balmers, and which will he presented to Governor Hughes within a few days, calling for a revision of the testimony on which Patrick was convicted. Dr. Smith was a student with Conan Doyle under Dr. Bell in the Edinburgh university. From the day eight years ago when Patrick was arrested for the murder of the aged millionaire. Dr. Smith took the deepest interest in the case, and after Patrick's .conviction he commenced to work to save him. He traveled all over America securing opinions from various medical experts, and finally went to Europe, where he placed the facts before his famous master. Dr. Bell gave Dr. Smith a let ter. In which he says: "Am I to understand that 'the post mortem examination of the body, on which evidence was founded, was really made after election? As I have no doubt that the vessels of the lungs can be injected from the brachial, which, indeed, you prove, surely any results as to the vapor of chloroform being detected are quite impossible to understand." As the principal" point of the trial was as to whether the lungs of the dead man could have been congested by the embalming fluid, this opinion Is re garded by the defense as sufficient In Itself to acquit Patrick. It is further Indorsed bv Sir Henry Lituejonn. M D.: Sir William Turner, M. D., and John Chiene. M. D.. F. R. C. S.. three of the foremost medical authorities of Great Britain. Patrick Is at present in Sing Sing. He is engaged in making vests and coats, hut eight years or prison ana impend lng execution have not broken his spirit. He has exhausted all his re sources in his fight for liberty, but he still is confident of final acquittal. All his hopes are now pinned on the de cision of the supreme court. His wife and a few friends have remained faithful to him. as has his lawyer, Wil liam L. McDonald, of 49 Wall street. who was his schoolmate and life-long friend. Mr. McDonald is very optimistic that his long struggle Is nearly ended. New York American. LOCAL MENTION. Padgett, agt.. Waverly Electrics, 117 East Seventh.

Retaliatory Duty on Wood Pulp Pro posed by Finance Committee. Washington, June 19. This coun try will be prepared to meet the move made -by Canada looking to the prohibition of the exportation of her logs into the United States if J.he amendment- suggested by the com mittee on finance to the wood pulp paragraph of the tarft bill shall be agreed to. As soon as the senate had for the time disposed of the income tax question at the beginning of to day's session. Senator Aldrich pre sented the committee's amendment on pulp. Following is the. text of the com mittee's provision: "That in case any country, de pendency, province, or subdivision, thereof, shall forbid directly or in directly the exportation of any wood pulp; logs or wood for use in the manufacture of wood pulp, an addi tional duty equal to the rates of duties imposed by this paragraph upon wood pulp shall be imposed upon any wood pulp imported from such country or dependency." The amendment was not passed as several senators expressed a desire for time to give It consideration be fore voting on it. Senator Clapp briefly expressed the opinion that the retaliatory restric tions proposed by the amendment would unfavorably affect the United States by causing a higher price of paper. Mr. Aldrich declared the provision was only intended to apply a higher duty on paper exported from Canada to the United States in case that country forbid the ex portation of logs and wood pulp. "We simply say to the people of Canada," he said, "if you refuse to allow logs or wood pulp to be sent you will have to pay a little higher duty." On motion of Mr. Aldrich the print paper schedule was further amended so as to reduce from six-tenths of a cent to one-half a cent a pound the duty provided by" the house on paper, worth from 3 to 4 cents a pound.

For 10 years it has been supplying the Topeka public with clean, first-class groceries and eatables at honest prices. The firm's honesty and integrity has won for it the patronage and good will of thousands of the city's best people. This "dollar's worth for a dollar" policy square toed, old reliable, straight dealing has made the Shawnee the big gest retail grocery under one roof in the whole state.

Extraordinary Efforts Pnt Forth to Entertain Visitors. WILL BE OPEN HOUSE Guests Given Hand of Welcome Everywhere. Program for the Entertainment in Detail. To say that next Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday will constitute Mer chants' Week in Topeka sounds very Insignificant but to the people of To peka, to the merchants of Kansas and to the general good feeling and welfare of the state It means lots more. It means that the retail dealers all over this big prosperous state will gather in one .city and meet with- not only the most enterprising and entertaining set of business men of Topeka but meet with each other. The average country town or small city merchant lives in a sphere of his own. He is always more or less well fixed financially and his life is an easy one but the jealous com petition which always holds forth in his village gives him that selfish and self indulgent feeling a feeling that is entirely natural under the conditions mentioned. Merchants' Week in Topeka is for the purpose of getting the business men of the state away from their busi ness for a few days during the hot weather and bring them all together, make them extend the right hand of fellowship and forget their troubles and their animosities. The cure is without a flaw and has never been known to fail. Topeka manufecturers and Jobbers and citizens live in a city where the one occasion of this kind is a constant round of pleasure and they are always ready ,to make life worth living for the stranger who touches the out-hanging latch key. It must be admitted that Topeka is bringing out of town people to the city for the purpose of showing them the town and the advantages. Then the wholesale and retailers are anxious to meet their customers face to face, place their feet under the same table, drink out of the same loving cup and hold the one match for the two cigars. There Is a good behind this whole thing there is no secret about this. But while the busy Manufacturers' and Jobbers' Association is planning this event to last three days It is paying little attention to Its personal Interests. (Continued on Next page.) Osage "Richest of All the Tribes" The development of a great financial enter prise is an interesting story. Barely one year ago a group of the leading bankers and business inen of Kansas met in Topeka to form the pre-, liminary organization of the Osage Fire Insur ance Company. The chosen officers drafted their plans in the summer, and for two months the printing houses of Tbpeka were kept busy with the many forms and supplies needed for the equipment of the company and its agents. At the close of September, the capital haying been paid in, the company secured its state license and opened for business. In eight months it has placed its agencies in over 400 cities and towns in Kansas and these agents have writ ten over two million dollars of insurance. With total assets of nearly $200,000, backed by men of responsibility in over fifty cities and towns of Kansas, this strong, young com pany now bids for its share of patronage from the people of Kansas, and KANSAS IS A GREAT STATE J.

J Topeka Kan Topeka Will Show the Retail Merchants of Kansas A GOOD TIME NEXT WEEK One of the busy jobbers said to a State Journal reporter this morning: I don t know what is going on down at the house in fact I haven't opened any of my mail for a. week except the personal matter. I pay plenty of atten tion to the correspondence during the winter when it is the only way I can come in touch with my customers, but I am going to come in touch with them another way next week I am going to grab their hand and hat and steer them into one continuous round of good times and eats." The boosters for this entertainment' are not working up their business they are neglecting it instead. They are working for the interests of the men who are anxious to come to the capital city and view its many at tractions, visit its institutions both state and- local, enjoy its hospitality (also state and local) and come in personal touch with the men whom they have called "Dear Sir" and "Re spectfully Tours' for ths past 15 years or more. Merchants week 13 simply a "love feast" and it is going to be one of the greatest love feasts in the history of Kansas. Topeka is going to entertain the best men in Kansas next week. Politicians may come and politicians may go but the level-headed business man will stay with us forever. When 1,000 or more Kansas merchants leave their places of business in the hands of the clerks for their wives) and come heading for Topeka next week they are going to constitute- one of the most welcome gatherings ever held In this city. The business men -of a. community are the men who make the community. It isn't the representative or the. senator who upholds the prosperity and the morals of a city, county or district. They are not the men who make the streets rat tle with traffic, the sidewalks crowded with throngs of buyers and the build ings loom up on every hand. The real up to date wide awake business man is the individual ariS the life of the town. The politician lives in his brown stone front with a gardener, a hired girl and a stenographer. The business man not only conducts his brown stone front but he buzzes around in his down town office with his typewriter and a number of bookkeepers, his army or clerks ana his big business building. In the s,mall er town it is the same. The politician drives down the main business street with his friends "from Topeka" and points with pride at the business block owned and occupied by "Jones Son, Grocers," and the worth, and quality of the town Is decided. These are the kind of men the up building citizens who are going to gather in Topeka next week and they are going to gather for other reasons than cold blooded business principles they are going to come to the city to see "the boys," to get a peek at the best baseball team in the state, to trample over the biggest sew er, water and paving system in Kan sas, to stroll under the trees of the prettiest avenues In the world, to visit the greatest railway shops In America today, to irifcpect two of the ij i'iii'i TpMtliWWI III iW H UMII F 'I' HIT f"if IH r 1 1 i fini-niTT-nT TTirr iM,t w-w .xir. -aa.

(Continued from Preceding: Page.) CRANE, COMPANY finest and best equipped colleges of men- uua in me miaaie west, to take in all of the attractions of greatest carnival park in Kansas, to go through one of the most imposing state capitol buildings in the United States, to witness the workings of the cleanest packing house of them all a hundred other things could be nam ed but there is neither time nor space. Topeka really is offering a week's se ries of attractions without the least attempt at oeing aressed in more. man every Uity ciotnes. It really isn't necessary for the manufacturers and Jobbers to get out any program and fix up special at tractions Topeka could furnish amusement and education along busi ness lines without carrying out any special features. But there are going to be special features and hundreds of them. The State Journal has ex plained these features a number of times and every up to date merchant in Kansas reads the State Journal. It It therefore unnecessary to make an other specialty of these attractions. However, it should not be overlook ed altogether in the rush. In short, therefore.' the three days happiness will be explained. What There Is to See. In the first place Topeka will be waiting for the Kansas merchants. Business men are preparing to show them special attention. For instance the Smith Auto people are going to have guides to take the visitors through their big plant. The Smith people put out one of the best cars in America today and they make more parts of their car than any other company. The visitors will be shown how each little part of the machine is made right here in Topeka. The Kansas Automobile company will also have a large number of cars on ex hibition. Rekhoff Brothers will make a special exhibition of automobile tops during this week. An automo bile is a thing that is interesting Kan sans more than anything else at the present time. Almost every country merchant has a car and those who haven't are contemplating the pur chase of a machine their customers among the farmers sniff at them when they drive around town In their carriages.

Topeka, Kansas The SETTLE THE ADVERTISING QUESTION NOW ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME Are you satisfied with your advertising as it is today? Is it the power behind your business, or is it one of the things you do in a hurry just incidentally, sandwiched in between your thousand and one other duties? Do you spend time and thought in preparing your ad vertising, or do you dash off a few lines of generalties about your business while the newspaper solicitor is wait ing? If you had the time could you write advertisements with dollar winning power to them? Will the advertising you are using now convince YOU? If it won't, you cannot expect it to convince others. Advertising should not be classed as charity or donation. Advertising that's right should and does bring big, round, cold dollars rolling into your pocket. The right kind of advertising absolutely does sell goods. Correct advertising is not a speculation. It's an investment as sure and certain an investment as government bonds, and pays ten times better returns. KANSAS FAIRS IN 1909. Advertising Does Pay-But It's Got to Be Right Hundreds of thousands of dollars yea millions are wasted on poor advertising in the United States alone every year. You are probably wasting your share because you lack the knowledge of result-getting ads. j It's time you were stopping this leak m your business bucket. You're spending your good money for space that s not making you interest on your investment. Get Right The International Correspondence Schools Advertis ing Course Teaches Snap and Ginger, Red Blood Advertising No! it won't take too much time; You can do it in the evenings. Once you start, it will interest you better than a new novel and you'll enjoy it more because it will show you the light about advertising that's right, and that means more and bigger business for you. -What could interest you more? Topeka Representative: E. G. HUGHES 107 West Seventh Street Paying German Piper. The piper to whose lively tunes the German empire has been, dancing merrily for bo many years has sent in his bill, and the nation, or the na tion's representative, though quite willing to go on with the dancing, are by no means prepared to settle up. Prince Buelow, who has naturally been held responsible for the enter tainment and for the expense thereof, is disgusted and discouraged, as it has been often predicted, that he will in sist on his resignation before the close of the present month. There are three essential elements in the German financial situation: (1) a rapidly increasing expenditure far outrunning the actual income; (2) a rapidly growing debt, from which in great part current expenses have been met; (3) a system of taxation wholly unequal to annual requirements, and framed largely to benefit the land owners on the one hand while leaving their property largely to benefit the landowners largely unburdened on the other. The chief objects of expendi ture have been public fortifications. and the navy, and a good deal of mon-! ey has been spent much of it wasted on the various colonial enterprises, which have been very costly and only recently show any signs of paying for themselves. But as in every other modern country, there has also been in Germany, a strong tendency to ward a general increase in, the scale of expenditures. Living has become much more costly. The old German thrift and economy are disappearing, all branches of the public service are more expensive, and the treasury has for years been unable to make both ends meet. The gap has been filled by borrowing. The most powerful and prosperous nation of Europe has been for a long while in the humiliating position of depending upon the money lender to pay its day-by-day require ments. Naturally its credit has suf fered, and it has to pay more for its loans than many a third-rate coun try. New York Times. Nearly every store trusts a few. We trust every working man or woman for clothing. Ridgley.,114 W. 8th. Prejudice Against the Stage in China. So great is the official prejudice against the stage in China that it ex tends even to the children of actors, and these are prohibited from holding any post under the government. Four years ago the grandson of an actor named Cheng was appointed translator to the Chines legation at Berlin Cheng 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 Irving did in nls country Yet the nomination of his descendant caused an outers among Chinese of ficials, and a memorial praying for his removal was presented to the empress dowager. The new official, it was pointed out, belonged to' the caste of actors, who ranked with barbers and chiropodists 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.-r-London Chronicle.

This town has a hen which for in dustry in laying eggs and trouble saving consideration for her owner surpasses anything in the poultry his tory of this section. She makes no claim of high-blooded ancestry, and none of her ancestors ever won a blue ribbon in Madison Square Garden or at any other poultry show. She is a common, every-day barnyard fowl, with a rusty black coat, that has been getting rustier ever since she got the makings of it. five years ago. This year she began laying on February 8. In the 109 days since then she has laid 98 eggs, and the end is not yet. That in itself would be a record of which any hen might be proud. How ever, it is only the small part of it. She is too thoughtful of the conveni ence of her owner to make him walk out to the chicken house for the eggs. Whenever she gets in the laying mood she flies to the window sill and pecks at the glass. Her owner knows the. signal, and opens the window. The ben flies down into the room, walks sedately. out to the hall, flies up in? the baby carriage there, and settles herself. She selects the softest spot in baby's pillow, and deposits the egg. j Cackling triumphantly, she flies from the linen-lined nest to the hand- le of the baby carriage and flaps her wings-violently. The pressure of her s wings on the air sets the baby car- riage moving. The hen does not cease flapping until the carriage has been. run out of the kitchen, close to the busy housewife. The woman picks up the egg, the hen reverses the movement of her wings, and soon propels the carriage1 back to the hallway again. Content with that, she flies out of the window and resumes her place among the other fowl. Three broods of chiekens have been -hatched from the eggs of this hen. Whenever the peepies see the house door open they run in, group them- selves about the baby carriage, crane their necks, and -cry piteously to be taken out for a ride.
