Cap Sheaf on Entertainment of Yisiting Merchants. Early Morning: Spent In Tonr of the City. OUT TO BALL GAME Furnishes a Climax for Over the City. Bide Guests Are Given Grasp of Wel come Everywhere. Big Banquet at the Auditorium Tonight. Once more the weather man thrust favors upon the Jobbers' and Manu facturers association of Topeka and their guests, the Kansas merchants, end today is another one of the ideal days of the year in spite of the fact that many a Jobber went to bed last night his mind as cloudy as the Lafayette Young, the Iowa Editor. Who W1U Deliver an Address at the Banquet Tonight. threatening sky. Today is Thursday and the real big day of the fes tivities. A thousand business men from all over the state of Kansas are In every nook and corner of the city and they are enjoying to the fullest extent the home like hospitality of the Topeka entertainers. The fond est dreams of the manufacturers and Jobbers when they were weaving their pipe dream plans before the final meeting are coming true and it can be truly said that Topeka has never been host to such a representa tive set of people and such a crowd cf visitors who are really the life and spirit of this great state today. It is the business man who makes the town, It is the towns that make the state and today it is the busi ness men who are making their stay in Topeka. To say the Kansas mer chants are enjoying themselves in this city would be putting the facts very weakly. It is a happy care free crowd here in the city today and to look at them as they go in groups over the city it would not occur to the host that they represent at home the Interests and the responsibility of their respective cities. The interests are all right but they have thrown away their responsibility before they tcame to Topeka. Last night when the busy secretary of the association, George Badders, and his corps of clerks and steno graphers put on their hats and coats they left behind them a little tale that told of the success of the Mer chants' week celebrations. There were over 400 names on the books at that time compared with 86 on the books at the same time last year. To day on the early morning trains peo ple made it necessary for the rail roads to put on extra coaches and i before the evening at least 1.200. visitors will be within the Topeka gates. This is a mammoth crowd to be handled at one time but the Job bers and Manufacturers' association are used to big things and they are making an easy task out of the ap parent Impossibility. Wednesday was a rather slow day on the programme on account of the duties of the registration and reception committees. But the visit ors did not follow the programme and according to the reports which have been coming in over the city the Kansas merchants made use of every minute and took In Topeka as best they could In such short time. Late Wednesday afternoon a tele phone call came to President Lux of the association. can t you come down to the house quick and help take care of all these visitors?" im plored his head assistant. Phone calls came to all of the jobbers and manufacturers who had deserted ieir business and spent their time at ne Commercial club rooms and at the depots. "There were at least 150 people from out of town who came to my place of business, "said aprominent jobber this morning, "and they all wanted to go through the place and they wanted to meet face to face the man they had been trading with for twenty years. This is the kind of un solicited interest they are taking." The wholesale and manufacturing district was a mass of guests, badges and every house in Topeka made new friends and renewed their ac qualntanceship with the old oes. This alone Is enough to make Merchants week worth the time, trouble and ex pense. ."Seeing Topeka Trip." "Behold, ladies and gentlemen, the state capitol building on your right, erected at a cost of three millions of dollars. It is the goal for which all politicians strive and is the place where the results of your votes are placed. Just inside that little window in the corner is Governor Stubba, who Is now by the aid of his oratorical sec retary, John Dawson, preparing the speech which he wil Igive at the Audi torium this evening. The governor has promised to use but eighty-three times the words 'the great common wealth of Kansas,' and those who at tend the banquet tonight will re joice." The spielers on the "Seeing Topeka Cars" this morning were the best bunch of roasters and informers ever heard on a rubberneck car. They had something to say about every building from one end of the car lines to the other. Not a vacant lot missed its inning and even a dilapidated tree out near Washburn college was given its life's history. The cars did not travel very fast and the visiting merchants were given a chance to see it all. There were five trains left the Com mercial building and each train car ried 180 people almost 1,000 visitors saw everything of interest near the car lines this morning. The cars traveled over practically all of the lines and the ride extended about 30 miles in all. It was a great treat for the visitors and they expressed audi ble admiration at the beautiful streets and avenues, the magnificent resi dences, the Washburn college grounds and all. It Is about the first time in the city that a "Seeing Topeka" trip has been carried out with such grati fying success. The last car left the rooms at 9:30 and since that time almost 400 people have registered at the Commercial club rooms. They have all expressed a desire to go on such a triD and it might be arranged to continue the trip in the morning or afternoon to morrow. Many Ladies Here. One of the greatest surprises to the Jobbers' and Merchants' association is the number of ladies who are attend ing the festivities. Almost every mer chant either brought his wife or his little boy and in some cases they brought the whole family. And there is enough going on to keep them all busy. One merchant said to a State Journal reporter this morning that his wife and daughter had gone shopping and he had not seen them since breakfast. His two sons had gone to all parts of the city and the last he saw of them they were tearing down Kansas avenue with a sack of pop corn in one hand and a bunch of fire crackers in the other. "And as for me," continued the merchant, "well, I am taking in everything. I have been In every part of the city and have smoked eight cigars. I guess that it is a good thing my wife is out shopping." Some women who run little confec tionery stores and bakeries over the state are in attendance today and as one woman said this morning, "We just took this chance to come and see Topeka we have heard so much about the beauty of the capital city, and I can assure you that we are not disappointed In the least." Crowds Good Matured. The big crowds which are packing the rooms of the Commercial club and jamming Kansas avenue today are good natured to say the least. It is the happiest bunch that ever came to Topeka with a possible ex ception of the Klks and the Travel ers. They came to Topeka for a good time and they are having it. The advance notices sent out by the as sociation asked the people to come to Topeka and spend as little as pos sible because they were to be enter tained but the good people from Kansas are not obeying orders they are spending money as freely as if they were on Wall street and needless to say they are getting their money's worth. Several of the mer chants over the city have adopted special prices for the new comers and the jobbers and manufacturers are giving things away. One band of merchants from the western part of the state filled the elevator car this morning and march ing to one of the men with a "Meet Me" button the spokesman said: "We Just wanted to come here and say that we are having a h of a time. That is a hard way of putting it but we can't find another word that will fit and let me say for the whole crowd Just like Brutus or Caesar or some one said we are all, all having a n or a time" and they slapped their hats back on their heads and took the next car down to the street. This is exactly the spirit of the whole series of delegations this morning. Band Concert All Day. Marshall's band has been giving a continuous concert all morning and part of the afternoon. They started to play early thfs morning and one of the prettiest programmes ever (Continued on Page Eight.) ELUS1VEUNG. Whereabouts of Elsie Sigel's Slayer Still Unknown. False Reports of His Capture Come In Almost Hourly. MOTIVE SEEMS CLEAR The Murderer Was Jealous of His Rival, Chu Gain. Restaurant Man Often Warned of Impending Trouble. New York, June 24. Rumors and con jectures as to the whereabouts of Leon Ling, the young Chinaman, who is sought by the detectives in charge of the Bisie Sigel case, continued in abund ance today. There was also a fresh crop of theories as to the motives which had prompted the crime and as tj the exact manner of Its commission; but in spite of almost hourly rumors of the capture of the missing Chinaman in al most every quarter of the United States there was nothing tangible upon which to base a clue of use in tracing down the murderer. The advanced state of decomposition of the body when found precluded any autcpsy or examination to show what the cause of death had been. The theory of Quon Yick Nam that the girl had died from an overdose of chloroform administered by Leon, can not be confirmed, as the handkerchief which Ins roommate, Chung Sin declar ed he saw over her mouth has disap peared. The finding of the two letters writ ten by Leon to Chu Gain, whom he regarded as his rival in the affections of the Sigel girl. In which Leon threatens the life of both Chu Gain and the young woman, is the best evi dence obtained yet to show the mo tive of the case. Both these letters, which are In Chinese and signed "The chief" were today shown to Chung Sin and readily Identified by mm as having been written by the fugitive The text of these letters has not yet been revealed but It Is Known tnat in them Chu Gain is threatened with death unless he discontinues his at tentions to Miss Sigel. Chu Gain has also said that his own brother brought him oral warn ing, emanating from Leon, that he must cease his visits to the Sigel home and that on one occasion, when he called at the home of the young woman, Leon who was already there left the house In a passion. The two threatening letters received h-tr -hu Gain, warning him to nay no attentions to Elsie Sigel on pain of death, were surrendered by cnu cam tn Assistant District Attorney Ward today. The letters were signed "The Chief," and were written in jninese characters. Other than that they contained terrible threats against Chu Gain, their contents have not been made known. The possibility that Leon Ling has fled to Cuba was brought to the atten tion of the police today by a white woman living in Chinatown. The woman told the police tnat sne naa heard two Chinamen discussing the Sigel case and heard them express the belief tnat Leon was now in wuua. Further indication that some or me Chinese organizations of this country desire to aid the authorities in appre hending the missing Leon Ling was given today when tne cninese niropire Reform association sent out a letter to its 170 branches throughout the coun try calling upon them to give aid in finding Leon. A detailed description of the missing man was appended to the letter. At a meeting of the Christian Chinamen of this city and their teach-' ers tonight, called today by Rev. Fung Mow, superintendent of the Morning Star mission, an effort will be made to raise a fund for the arrest of the slayer of Miss Sigel and to express indigna tion at the atrocious murder. ALL GO TO PRISON. Check Forgers and Women Accom plices Plead Guilty. Aealn the check-forging party has changed its quartette of minds. Messrs. Joe Dollman and Jack King have de cided to plead guilty. So have Belle Omans and Belle Hudson, their "lady friends," who are charged with being accessories to the check-forging scheme. So it appears that the whole bunch will go to the penitentiary to gether. To close up their business in Topeka, the quartette decided last night that they would get married be fore going to the penitentiary. They thought it would be a novel experience, and that mayhap they would be al- lowed to visit each other-while Inside looking out. King proposed to marry Miss Omans. she of the bad memory, and Dollman to wedithe younger Belle. The proposition was checked up to Judge Schoch, of the probate court. Not any," replied the court. 1 win not issue license for the marriage of confessed criminals. I think it against public policy."- Therefore Messrs. Dollman and King and Misses Hudson and Omans will meet as strangers when they get out after serving their time. AND IT WAS VINEGAR. Some One Fooled the Thirsty at the BaU Park. In this day of high prices on house hold necessities, the highest price for pure cider vinegar is reported from Western League park. At a recent ball game, a mysterious person was seen beckoning thirsty looking fans, and leading them off in a dark corner under the grandstand. The mysterious one, upon cornering his willing victim, would show a half pint- bottle, and wink. The customer would ask the price, BO cents would change hands then At no time during the many similar transactions was the word "whisky" used. The customer got the bottle, and the dealer got the money. Before he had sold out, however, a shriek of mor tal agony arose from about a dozen different spots. The bottles contained Pure Cider Vinegar, which would pass pure food inspection anywhere. It was not adulterated with whisky, or any thing like whisky. It was Absolutely Pure Cider Vinegar.- AUTO RUNS AWAY. Woman Occupant Thrown Against a Tree and Killed. Poughkeepsle; N. Y. June 24. Mrs. John Matthews, wife of the su perintendent of 'the Dupont Powder Works at Wilmington,' Del., was in stantly killed last night In an auto mobile accident near Amenia, N. Y. Mrs. Matthews was with her husband and daughter and two nephews and two nieces on a trip to the Berkshires. Control of the car was lost and it ran at a mile a minute speed down Delavan Hill, turning over when a tire burst near the bottom. Mrs. Matthews was thrown against a tree and her neck broken. A broken arm suffered by the nephew,, a young man named McVeagh, was the worst in Jury to any of the .survivors. ROBBED THE STAGlL Bandits Secured Express Box and $90 From Passengers. Nevada City.. CaK. June 24. The Downieville stage which left this city for Sierra county tarrying five pas sengers was held up and robbed by a masked highwayman a short time after leaving." The robber took $90 from the passengers and the Wells Fargo express box. The mall pouch was not disturbed. There are rumors that the highwayman made a big haul but the local agent declines to make a statement. Sheriff Walker and a posse- have taken up the trail. Five years ago the Downieville stage was robbed at the same spot by a highwayman. MOREAU BEATS BROWN. French Champion Put Englishman Down Five Times. Paris, June 24. Marcel Moreau, champion of France at 134 pounds, beat Peter Brown, champion of England at 155 pounds, on points in a 20 round match here last night. Moreau knock ed Brown down five times in the course of the 'fight. Woodman, manager of Sam Lang ford, has offered to take both men to America to fight three matches in July. It Is Hot Today. The maximum temperature in To peka Wednesday afternoon was 86, which was about as reasonable as anything offered outside of an ice house in this state. It iwas 92 in Dodge City and 94 in Dresden at the same time, so Topeka has nothing to complain about. Dresden, the "Medi cine Hat" of Kansas, also reported the only rainfall in the state which meas ured 2-one-hundredths of an inch. This afternoon the wind is blowing 20 miles an hour from the south, and the hourly temperatures for the day are recorded thus: 7 o'clock 75 8 o'clock 75 9 o'clock 79 10 o'clock 81 11 o'clock 83 12 o'clock 84 1 o'clock 84 2 o'clock 86 Stage of river, 10.8 falling. ENTERTATXrXG THE GCEST. fo.o 0 ilk 1 fk. A Strenuous Day for the Visiting Merchant. MRS. GOULD AGAIN The Plaintiff in the Suit for Di rorce Is Recalled To Rebut Testimony Offered by Her Husband. DUSTIN FARNUM ILL Deposition of the Actor Is Of fered in Court. May Robson Adds Indorsement of Plaintiff's Character. New York, June 24. Mrs. Kathe rine Clemmons Gould was again a witness today In her suit for separa tion from her husband. Howard Gould. It was expected that Mrs. Gould's testimony in rebuttal would occupy most of today's session, and that the defense would then call sev eral witnesses in surrebuttal, which would continue the trial over till to morrow before it was completed. Mr. Shearn, Mrs. Gould s counsel, had one more deposition to read into the rec ord today, that of Dustin Farnum, whose name had been linked with Mrs. Gould throughout the trial by the defense. Mr. Shearn said he had hoped to call the actor as a witness, but that he had learned Farnum was ill in Maine and could not be reached. Mr. Nicoll the defendant's counsel, said he should subject Mrs. Gould to a lengthy examination on rebuttal in regard to the many Incidents which have been referred to by Mr. Gould's witnesses. Thirty-nine witnesses were examined yesterday and it was after 11 o'clock last night when court adjourned. -.The statement yesterday by one of Mrs. Gould's personal friends, Mrs. Sells on the witness stand, that Mrs. Gould had talked to her about re turning to the-stage and playing In the company with Dustin Farnum, did not appear to disconcert the plaintiff or her lawyers, as Mr. Shearn said to day that such testimony on the rec ord would afford Mrs. Gould an op portunity to explain today the reasons for her friendliness with the actor in the fall of 1906. Father Cherry Testifies. Rev. Patrick J. Cherry, who was the priest of the Catholic church In Port Washington from 1901 to 1908, tes tified late yesterday that Mrs. Gould frequently called on him at the rec tory in regard to works of charity In the community. He' was well ac quainted with her, he said, and never had seen her under the influence of liquor of heard her use indelicate language. Louis Moratelli. a chef employed by the Goulds testified that he had never seen Mrs. Gould intoxicated nor heard her swear at the servants. Moratelli described the alleged al tercation between Malloy, the former manager of the Castle Gould estates, and himself. Mrs. Gould was present, he said. "Did Mrs. Gould stamp her foot and swear at Malloy?" asked Mr. Shearn. "No. she did not." "Did she call Malloy a puppy?" "No." On cross examination the witness said .he had sometimes served Mrs. Gould with a cocktail before luncheon and dinner, but never more than two. She drank a little wine occasionally with her dinner, the witness said. Mary Conlln, a maid to Mrs. Elijah Sells, Mrs. Gould's cousin by marriage and one of her guests on the motor trip to Philadelphia, swort that none of the party wore dust coats. Wit nesses for Mr. Gould had previously testified that a man's linen dust coat had been found in Mrs. Gould's room at the Bellevue-Stratford. Slay Kobson Called. With the exception of Mrs. Sells, who testified, and the deposition of her daughter Marjorie, which was read at night, the testimony for the most part was that of servants and employes of various shops. Miss Sells' narrative bore out that of her mother, favoring Mrs. Gould, as to her association with Dustin Far num, and testifying as to her sobriety at all times. After this deposition came a corroborative deposition from May Robson, the actress. In the es sentials it agreed with Miss Sells' story. The actress was not sure about the number of nights she had slept in Mrs. Gould's room, but she was posi tive that she had used one of the twin beds in Mrs. Gould's bedroom. Her characterization of Mrs. Gould agrees with that' of Miss Sells. "Have you ever observed any im proper relations betwen Mr. Farnum and Mrs. Gould?" the actress was asked. "No." "Did you ever see Mr." Farnum em- brace Mrs. Gould?" "No," Miss Robson responded. Dustin Farnnm's Testimony. Mr. Shearn. Mrs. Gould's counsel. started' to read the deposition of Dus tin Farnum at the opening of todays session, and Mr. Nicoll, counsel for the defense, objected. "This witness is a resident of New York state and has been in the court house since thetrial began," said Mr. Nicoll. Mr. Shearn said it was true that Farnum had been here two weeks ago. He had telegraphed him to Bucksport, Me., and received a mes sage from Farnum's wife that he would not be able to come on to tes tify on account of his physical con dition. Justice Dowllng allowed the deposi tion to be read and Mr. Shearn asked the privilege of also calling the actor on Monday, If he could get him. Farnum deposed that he first met Mrs. Gould six or seven years ago at a charitable benefit given by a num ber of New York society women. Mrs. Lounsbury introduced him to Mrs. Gould, the witness deposed. The second time he met-her was at Castle Gould, when he went with Miss May Robson, the actress, and Mrs. Gould drove them for two hours about the estate. In August, 1906, the actor took luncheon, at the St. Regis hotel with Mrs. Gould upon her invitation, the witness deposed. "I went there on a matter of busi ness, as Mrs. Gould was thinking or going back on the state and wished to talk It over with me," the witness said. "We had lunch in the parlor of Mrs. Gluld's apartments and l staved about an hour and a half. Mr. Sells was to have been there but ne came in Just as I was leaving. HE NAILED IT DOWN. Assistant Attorney General Shukers Fixed Leavenworth Lid. Assistant Attorney General Chas. D. Shukers has returned-from Leav enworth, where he went the first of the week to investigate the reports that the prohibition law was being .i 4 th.t ..u.r ivrr- Shukers vimttieu in uia J lid not find an alarming state of af fairs there. He rouna a .iew J""" running more or less openly and se cured evidence against them. He also heard of places over the city in the back end of stores and in cellars and attics where beer and whisky were being sold on a small scale. No regular bar fixtures have been installed in any of these places just a few bottles of beer on ice or a keg in a tub of ice with a patent pump attached which will draw the beer without the need for a coil or elabor ate fixtures. The sheriff of Leaven worth county has seized several or these pumps. They are designed for quick and simple service and sudden "get-aways." The brewery at Leavenworth has been put out of business by means of a temporary injunction and the sher iff Is in charge there. This brewery has an ice plant in connection and the injunction does not apply to the ice making branch of the business. It would seem that the effort to raise the lid in Leavenworth was a weak and spasmodic affair and the offenders will have to travel the same stony path that their predecessors have had to follow the past year. UNCLE JOE TELLS WHY. Explains to Girls Hla Opposition to Woman Suffrage. Washington,. June 24. I .am against woman suffrage," announced Speaker Cannon yesterday. The speaker was talking to the graduat ing class of the Oswego, N. Y., high school, introduced to him by Repre sentative John Dwight. "I'll tell you why I am against woman suffrage, girls," said the speaker, and a score of the young women gathered close around him. "You see, each one of you girls will get married and control your hus band's vote, as well as everything else. If you don't marry you will control your brother's vote, or your brother-in-law's. So you see if we let you vote, the first thing we know we men won't have any chance at all." SLATER MUST WAIT. Topeka Man's Name SOU Held Up In Senate. Washington. June 24. A determined fight is being made to prevent con firmation of the nomination of Fred erick W. Slater of Topeka to be consul at Sarnia, Canada. The opposition to Slater is from the supporters of Neal McMllllan of Michi gan, who now holds the place.

Sam Hildreth's Runners Favor ites in the Betting. MILE AND A QUARTER For a Guaranteed Purse of $5, 000 the Feature. It Is Open to Four Tear Olds and Upwards. New York, June 24. This is subur ban day and all roads end at the beautiful Sheeps Head Bay race track. For 25 years the suburban handi cap has been the magnet that has at tracted thousands of spectators to the track on the bay with Its wide reaches of green lawns, towering oaks and Deas or multi-colored flowers and to day when the bugle called the horses to the post the big stands held their full complement of men and women of fashion, of bankers, lawyers, mar-, chants and of the big aggregation of "regulars' who never miss the chance of watching a horse race and inciden tally, of having a financial interest in it.- 'While among the eiebt horses card ed to start in the suburban today there are no such sterling performers as Salvator, Henry of Navarre, Ben Brush or others of that ilk which once had the honor of leading home their fields in the classic event, still there was class among them enough to warrant the belief that with fair weather and a fast track, It would be a race from the rise or the barrier, until the mile and a quarter had been covered. Sam Hildreth, the chief winner of stake events thus far this year on the Metropolitan circuit has nomin ated Restigeouche and Fitzherbert to carry his colors and the pair has been made a favorite by the betting con tingent. The conditions of the race, with the horses entered, their owners and their jockeys who probably will ride follow: Suburban, handicap for four year olds and upward, guaranteed value $5,000,, one mile and a quarter.

The cars were stopped almost an one day. The cars started to run but the power gave out again and one of the cars, on which there was about twenty-five people, was tied up for about two hours and a half out southwest oc town a couple of miles. Finally enough power was pa duced to run the car on to Arkansas City, and the passengers came home on the trains. The cars started out again and everything seemed lovely.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUENAL THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1909. IN THIRD PLACE Omaha Was Defeated In Second Game qf Series. Topekans Batted Johns Oat in Second Inning. SHIPKE'S HOME RUN Was the Only Run Made by the Tlsltlngr Team. Kasty Wright Pitched Steady Ball. Good, Up to the dizzy height of third place. That's going some for an Infantile corpor03lty Just fresh from the brush, but its a reality Just the same. The trick was turned yesterday afternoon at the Western League park, when the Topeka team won from Omaha by a score of 4 to i. Two games of the ser ies have- now been played. Cooley "Has them both In his grip. Bolivar Kauf man is on the mound this afternoon, and doubtless ere nightfall we will have increased our clutch on this rung' of the ladder with a firmer grip. Inci dentally the defeat of Wichita brings us closer to our beloved, and time honored rival. Rasty Wright Was Wright. The advance was enacted at the ex pense of one Harry Tracy Johns, a ecuthpaw named after the famous bandit not before. Johns has pitched some splendid ball in Topeka. He did It the last time the Omahoga were here, and did it right, a shutout. He was off yesterday. The home talent started the bombardment in the first inning not quite hard enough to count, but Just hard enough for an eye-opener. There was some doubt at first wheth er Topeka could pull the second vic tory in as many games from the Rourkes. Especially was It doubtful when the game started. Wright didn't look good at the start; and in fact liadn't seemed to warm up to the task that was set before him.- But jhe ma tured with the progress of the game end as inning after inning rolled back Kasty was getting better and tougher lor the solution of the visitors. The only time that Rasty really looked bad was In the second inning and only some poor' base running by IWelch destroyed the possible chances of a victory. After this with the ex ception of the ninth when the visitors looked somewhat threatening Rasty had the game in the hollow of his hip and was the real biir show. In the second Rasty got in the hole tn Shlpke and the balls and strikes, three and two Rasty was forced to put it right down the alley. Slugger Bill, the former Senator, smote it over the Itft field fence for the Omahog's only run. Bill was the first man up. Rasty w alked Harry Welch the hard slugger, iPendry the little mascot, who played second base laid down a neat sacrifice end Buckerlno Frank hit safe. Then Gonding was safe when Kerns fielded Us short hit wide to first. The bases were loaded with only one man out. iBut Johns fanned and Butch Kerns ran Welch, down between the plate and third. The local contingent came back with ithe beautiful rally In the third. Shipke dropped Wooley's high fly and Lijah went to second on ueier 3 single, scor- Ing when Johnny Kunkel ripped the ball to right field for a single.

Abbott hit the ball more often than he has done since his last debut in Topeka, but got only one safe one. Shipke started a nice double play In the sixth when a batting rally was threatening.

Sir Richard made his first appear ance on the coaching lines since his in Jury, and his presence seemed to help in the third inning,, when most of the runs were scored. Little Johnny Pendry. made his debut on second. He got away with seven out of eight chances, his error being a muff of a thrown ball when Covering first on a bunt. He looked fairly good and with a utue practice in tne post tion will aouDtiess ao well. Fenlon failed to bag his usual hit He knocked three long flies to King, however. King hit one in the ninth inning whica looKea gooa ror two bases. Kun kel, however, knocked it down with one hand and it only went for a slnarle. The St. Louis lad is certainly eating everything arouna mat corner. 1 Welch, the demon swatter of the Omahogs, failed to connect safely. Out of three times up Kunkel handled one grounder, and Welch fouled two, one to Kunkel ana one to Kerns. Cadman, who batted for Pendry in the ninth inning, is an extra catcher. He broke up a game for Topeka in Omaha when one leg was In a cast. Denver 4. Lincoln 2. Denver, Colo.. June 24. Denver Jumped onto Farthing in the second inning here yesterday and scored four runs.

Affy Wilson, the former Springfield Midget, Is going to take the job of manager at Abilene. Wilson is far too good a man to work in that circuit and it is a wonder that he accepted the offer. Affy could have landed a job with a Western league club last winter but declined. Salina Is pleased with its latest acquisition, Leonard, an outfielder. Leonard has been stinging the ball and according to the Salina Journal this is one of the weaknesses of the team. Salina has sold Martin, the little third sacker, to Junction City. Mar tin was superfluous to the Salina team although a good player. The Salina Journal is getting after Quigley and is suggesting any number of Improvements that should be made on that team. Cboteau, Abilene's Indian pitcher, has jumped the team, and his where abouts is unknown. Dad Edwards, the old Western as sociation catcher and umpire, has been signed by Junktown and will fill the shoes of Armstrong behind the bat.

Newton claims that it had secured Hayes be fore he reported at Wellington. Presi dent Finch says that there Is nothing to Newton's claim and that Wellington will keep Hayes. In speaking about the second game which salina played with Clay Center a paper from that town says that "Salina started out with 'Krapps' and threw similar combinations through out the entire game."

Topeka Santa Fe Railway company has filed suit against the board of county commissioners and Earl Eberhardt, county treasurer. The railroad in its petition says that on May 6, 1906, an election was held to vote on the Barnes high school law.

The Santa Fe railroad's taxes were $111.42, and with the rebate, $108.64, It paid this tax under protest. The petition further alleges that the commissioners refused to rescind the tax and now It asks that the money be restored. KANSAS WHEAT MARKET DULL. Price at Salina Haa Fallen 25 Cents in 30 Days. Salina, Kan., June 24. There is practically no market for wheat In Salina at the, present time, according to statements from the different mill ing companies. The price of $1.25 per bushel, which has been quoted for the last few weeks has been changed to 95 cents and $1.00 which is for new wheat. The mills do not care to buy any wheat now and will not until July. They have therefore cut the price down to what they believe it will be at that time. Some of the mills say they will not even contract at this price and others are inclined to be lieve that the price will not be over 95 cents per bushel. Practically no wheat has been re ceived In Salina for nearly a month. The old wheat seems to be out of the country and the millers do not want what there is at $1.25 prices, when they are expecting to get the new crop at $1.00 or less, less than thirty days from now.

RAILROAD NEWS. Railways in Illinois Dispute Fig i ures of Commission. Produce Statistics to Show 2 Cent Fare Unprofitable. MILLIONS WERE LOST Bulletins Issued to Discredit I. C. Cs Assertions. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Chicago, June 24. According to the Bureau of Railway News and Sta tistics, the railroads of Illinois lost $15,609,900 during 1908 by the oper ation of the 2-cent. passenger rate law. .A bulletin issued by the bureau represents this to be the total loss de spite the statement in the annual re port of the state railroad and ware house commission that the railroads enjoyed an increase ,of $1,906,087 in passenger, earnings. In addition to figuring a passenger earning loss the bulletin makes it ap pear that the total 1 the railroads in the state for the. same year was et, 252,167, and that of this loss, $11,111,246 was on traffic within the state. The bulletin was is sued, evidently, for the purpose of re futing the statement of the state commission that the railroads had made money by reason of the 2-cent passenger rate. The reduction of the maximum rate caused the average-' rate received from each passenger to decrease from 1.934 cents to 1.778 cents per passen ger per mile. The figures given in the bulletin are from those furnished for forty-eight separate railroad sys tems, which nnprntfi R-'tAtnl nf ss -fta miles of railroad, of which 12,602 'are wnnm tne state.

Division to, Remain at pnaga Permanently, Leavenworth, Kan., June 24. That the division point of the Leavenworth Kansas -Western will remain at Onaga instead of being changed back to Leavenworth is probable. The railroad men" were consulted by the officials relative to the change and given the preference of moving from Leavenworth to Onaga or take a reduction of wages. The petition signed by the employees indicated they chose to move. In all probabil ities the railroad men will stand by their decision. "The arrangements made by the trainmen and the officials require that the union schedule of 100 mile rate of wages- be maintained even if the runs Were less than 100 miles," said Joseph Gilbert, secretary of the Greater Leavenworth club, "and when the trainmen were given the prefer ence of taking a reduction in the scale or move to Onaga and run through to Kansas City they agreed to move. The only thing for them to do now is to send in another peti tion asking to reconsider the matter, this is quite improbable. "The Greater Leavenworth club has done all that can be done. The action of the Union Pacific in chang ing the division point from Leaven worth, was not a discrimination against the town, but just a change Xf You Bead This It will be to learn that the leading medl cal writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice recommend, in the strongest terms possible, each and every Ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint," torpid liver, or biliousness, chronic bowel affections, and all catarrhal diseases Of whatever region, name or nature.

You have read our oft-repeated statement, In use for over 30 years." It was in the early sixties that the prescription now universally known as Castona was first made use of. With a record of over fifty, under five years' of age, out of every hundred deaths, it was the AMBITION OF EVERT PHYSICIAlTto; discover a remedy suitable for the ailments of infants and children that would decrease this distressing mortality. In Oastoria that relief has been found. Let us take the statistics covering: the deaths in the City of New York for the past 30 years, and here we find thel)enificent effect of a combination of drugs excluding opiates and narcotics so long sought for, namely OASTORIA. Of the total numher of deaths in New York City la 1870, 50 par csnt. were under five years of age; in 1880, 46 per cent.; in 1890, 40 per cent.; In 1300, 35 per cent. only. Just stop to think of it Until 1897 no counterfeits or imitations of Castoria appeared on drug store shelves, but since that date Mr. Fletcher has been called upon to suppress a number of these frauds. While the record for 1900 does not come down to our expectation it is owing to the carelessness of mothers when buying Oastoria. The signature of Chas. H. Fletcher is the only safeguard. t w jnr s- r H fl f run f- s m i u r i t in i v.

President Tart Is going to render a decision in the jontroversy between federal authorities and distillers as to "what is whisky." One excellent an ewer to this question Is that whisky is the grandest sort of a thing to leave alone. Visiting Kansas merchants may think tl at their money is as good as any money in the world, and it probably is under moat circumstances. But it will be spurned as though it were counter- felt if they endeavor to make use of any of it while they are in Topeka during the next few days. It appears that all is not plain sail ing for balloons and other airships af ter they have demonstrated their abili ties to remain in the air. Dense clouds, particularly those charged with elec tricity, have to be dodged. And so there are possible obstructions in the way of sky travel just as there aire In all other kinds. According to her friends Mrs. Howard Gould always conducted herself in a refined and dignified manner. They sever saw her staggering around under the influence of liquor as her former servants have testified. All of which goes to emphasize tl.e well known fact that different persons see the fame things in different ways. Dr. Justin Steer, of St. Louis well known lung specialist, ended his life recently because he feared he had an incurable disease. Physicians who con ducted a post-mortem examination of Dr. Steer's body announce that the dis ease he suffered from existed merely In his imagination. There are altogeth er too many people who have the idea that they are sufferer from disease when they are not. The heartiest of greetings are extend ed to all of the golf players who are iu Topeka to play in the state golf tournament which is on the card for each day during the remainder of the vek.

Pennsylvania has followed suit by putting in penal servitude a motor car driver. who ran down two pedestrians, killing one of them. In Minnesota they are sending automoollists Who kill nothing but the speed laws to jail for varying periods and are not giving them the alternative of paying fines. It ought not to be long now before motorists all over the conn try wake up to the fact that it Is in cumbent upon them to drive their n chines with a proper precaution. The Civic University club of this city has passed resolutions strongly com' mending the attitude of Senator Bris tow and his colleagues, Senator3'LaFol lette, Cumniir.s, Beverldge, Borah, Gore end Nelson, for their fight for an ade quate revision Of the tariff downward. This is in line with the sentiment held for these extinguished senators by the whole people of the nation, with the aauaotlon, of course, of that little gal- axy known as the Aldrlch crowd. Buf they won't count for much in the future, regardless of the power that they hold Just now. During1 the next few years there is bound to be a much needed washing of senatorial linen, and tha people will take delight in doing the scrubbing. KANSAS CROPS. After the direful and pessimistic predictions of the "crop killers" the report of F. D. Coburn, secretary -of the Kansas department of agricul ture, on the exact condition of the growing crops of the state comes like unto a message from the fabled Hes perldes, that mythical garden of the ancients where golden apples were supposed to grow. From this communication of Mr. Coburn, the conclusions In which are founded on facts and not on fanciful flights of the imagination, it is evident that all of the large grain and grass crops of Kansas are going to do their full duty during the season of 1909, and some of them will do a little more. Even the wheat chows a sur prisingly excellent condition. "Wise men" were going about not so long ago shouting that Kansas would be lucky if she raised 60,000,000 bushels of wheat this year. Mr. Coburn finds the present condition of Kansas wheat to be 72.3, which Is not up to the fig ures of the crop of last year for the same period. But it compares more than favorably with this crop's con dition at a corresponding time in oth er years. And while Mr. Coburn makes no estimate of about what the wheat yield will be, it is safe to say that barring unforeseen and untoward events In the immediate future, it will measure up to at least 75,000,000 bushels. This will be really an enor mous yield for this year as the wheat acreage Is considerably smaller than It has been for the past few years back, and the early climatic condi tions surrounding this crop were any thing but desirable. As to corn, the Kansas crop of 1909 promises to be a record breaker. The weather has been a little Wet In some of the corn sections of the state dur ing the beginning of the corn-growing season, but as Mr. Coburn points out this tort of weather Is not apt to be harmful to a corn crop with the almost certain assurance of plenty of good hot, sunshiny weather coming along immediately. The acreage de voted by the Kansas farmers to corn this year is much larger than it has been for the past few years. Similar conditions prevail In the field of oats and grasses, although quite a portion of the first cutting of alfalfa was more or less damaged by rains. This report of Mr. Coburn fur nishes reassuring news that prosper ity is to continue in Kansas. The crops to be harvested will generally 'bring in higher returns per bushel and bale this year than they have In the past few years because of the high prices that are prevailing for all kinds of grain and hay in all of the markets of the world, and which will prob ably continue to prevail at or about their present remunerative figures. This means another rolling of stores of gold, into the coffers of the Kansas farmers, who, in turn will distribute it around with discerning and lavish hands among the merchants of the towns and the cities. And so, felicita tions should be exchanged all around by the people of the great, the glor ious, the golden Sunflower Btate. THAT STABLE DOOR. From the pulpits of New Tork city and in the newspapers of that big town and also in those of every portion of the country, a great hue and cry is now going forth against the practice of permitting women and girls to actively work in missions for the spiritual salvation of the heathen Chinese. It's another case of locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen. A young girl of distinguished family, a mission worker In the infamous filth to be found In Pell- and Mott streets, the Chinese rendezvous in the metropolis of the new world, was foully mur dered recently by a Chinaman who had been discarded by her for an other Chinese lover. Society, the nation over, is ter ribly shocked Over this tragedy of the slums. It would be horrified if some New York newspaper could print a list of the white girls, devoted to mis sion work of this sort, who hajve come to grief during the past few years through the Chinese whom they were teaching. This is not a pleasant subject to discuss but per haps the only remedy for it Is a uni versal public demand that women and girls of the white race be pre vented and prohibited from par ticipating in active mission work among the Chinese. It is a fact that Chinamen will make believe that they are Interested in mission work for the mere purpose of having an opportunity to get acquainted and associate with American women Maybe the life and death of poor, un fortunate Elsie Sigel will not have been in vain, if her murder opens the eyes of certain factions of the religiously inclined who have en couraged their daughters to sac rifice their lives on the altars of Chinese lust. Not all of them have been murdered. Many have suffered a worse fate. For the most part the Chinamen who have settled in this country come from the lowest classes in China, and that's pretty low. Their cunning and wiles are of the surpassing sort. They are bestial in instincts and inclina tions. If it is thought worth while to attempt to save their souls by turning their steps to the paths of Christianity, very good. But this is work for men, and not for the flower of American womanhood. From the first report which has come along from the Roosevelt hunting party for some time it is learned that all of Its members are in good health and that the gun toters in the party.. Col. Roosevelt and his son, Kermit, are con tinuing their "good" work in making It unhealthy for All kinds of animals that frequent Africa. Three more giraffes, those unusual beasts of the animal kingdom which are fast reach ing the point where they will be ex tinct, have been added to the bag. This makes. Ave or six giraffes which have fallen before these mighty nlm- ods. Now what on earth does the Smithsonian institution need of a half dozen stuffed giraffes? Two would seem to fill the bill nicely. JOURNAL ENTRIES The difficulties of life are what make it worth tha living. It costs some arlrls null, a. tidy aum to maintain their good looks. A family without soma sort of an undesirable skeleton in Its closet is a rarity. Nothing is maltreated rmltn sn badly-by almost everyone as the Eng lish language. To try to do others as thev try to do you seems to be the modern theory most persons are working along.

After that we put it together again and it worked all right. ;irankfort Index. In some high school notes which appeared recently in the Greenleaf Sentinel was this discerning para graph: "It does not hurt a young man to keep company to a limited degree with a good, sensible girl, in fact, have you ever noticed how much It really helps the average boy. He will dress better and neater, will keep his hair shingled and combed, ac cording to the prevailing mode, will shine his shoes oftener, will be much more industrious and will often take on the ways of a business man, his manners are less crude ana ne has a higher regard for women, he will go to church and listen to the sermon instead of acting foolish in the back part of the church, he will be hon est and will not gamble and drink. All this because the Influence of woman is refining." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.J At a wedding, the men look so cross, and the women so nappy. When children have to wait at din ner, they will hate the guests. Some men are double spendthrifts; they waste both time and money. Who was it that said that of lies there were three kinds, "Lies, d d lies, and statistics?" When a man abuses himself to his friends, it is embarrassing if they re ceive it with silence. Next to the "jug" jokes, the most tiresome jokes are those heard by the man who has lately shaved off his moustache. When we see a heading in a paper entitled, "A National Disgrace," we read the article to see which one is referred to. A long time ago, a little good poet ry was written. Ever since, people have been bothered nearly to death with silly imitations. They say of an Atchison man that he is so impolite that he breaks away before a "story" is half completed. We admire his nerve. Sometimes a woman who is wronged punishes the man who has wronged her to such an extent that he becomes the injured party. "I love my wife," said a husband recently, "but she is always wanting to do things I don't want her to do. She cheerfully gives in, but after wards she acts like a martyr, and that hurts." Most women read every recipe In a newspaper, and, if any one will listen, delight in reading them out loud. A hundred times a week a woman says, under such circumstances, "I am go ing to try that next time I bake." But she never does; she goes oft on a trail after a new basque. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Some men go to the dogs gradually, some get there immediately by going into politics. The two persons to whom a wo man's voice can be sweetest are a small baby she loves and a large wo man she hates. It is so next to impossible to teach a boy to earn his own living that it's hardly ever worth while to try if you can support him. There's hardly anything so good for a man's standing in a community as to get a lot or some other man's money away from him. All you, would have to do to make a woman interested in running a sew ing machine would be to give It a high-sounding name. KANSAS COMMENT READY TO HANDLE THE WHEAT. The Missouri Pacific la preparing to handle the wheat crop without causing elay to the shippers. It has been col lecting cars fit for hauling grain and will have them in readiness when the grain la threshed and hauled to the stations along the line. There haa al ways been considerable complaint re garding the inability of the shippers to get cars immediately after harvest and the Missouri Pacific is doing all it can to relieve the old time conditions. It is hoped that other lines will be as active in the matter. It is not believed that as much grain will be rushed to the markets as last year because the farmers are convinced, through the ex perience of last year and this spring, that they can do better by holding at least a share of their wheat. But the fact that the Missouri Pacific, and pos sibly the other lines is doing all It can in preparing to hurry the crop to mar ket will be appreciated by the grain growers and shippers. In the past a great many uncom plimentary remarks have been made concerning the Gould lines in Kansas, but the decided improvement which is being made in the track and in the rolling stock is making the line as popular as other roads. Wichita Eagle. A GIRL WHO-WENT WRONG. Some years ago there there lived In Missouri a girl named Mary O'Brien. The farm, the country town, the city, in turn, grew too small for her and she went to New York, where she was lost. In short, she ceased to exist, having adopted stage life and the name of Ruth Hilton. Antonio Ruiz, a member af the Cu ban legation, saw her, fell in love with her. and, as it was an honest love, he married her. But he found out that Ruth Hilton hadn't been her only name; that she was Very friendly with men, and had lived with a number of them. They separated, and, when Mary O'Brien again bobbed to light it was as Mme. Ruiz,, living In fashion able apartments in London, and the "friend" of Alfred Vanderbllt. She kept eight servants, and the splendor in which she lived, and her beauty were the talk of London, You know the rest: Vanderbllt tired of her, quit going to see her, she moped and cried, and finally shot and killed herself, and now lies in an un marked grave. Atchison Globe. o THE UNRESPONSIVE BED SHEETS The law has been put to a square test in Oklahoma, and those who had expected it to do miracles are disap pointed and full of painful doubts. Two years ago the Oklahoma legislature passed a law requiring bed sheets to be nine feet long and not to contain more than a certain percentage of rinse wa ter. It is now discovered that the sheets have not grown a fractional part of an inch, under the dispensation of the law, nor have they dried out any. The people are naturally suspicious as well as distressed, and they are gathering in the market places to ask whether the law which will not stretch or wring a bed sheet can be expected to do any of the more complex work of society. It has been suggested that the trou ble in Oklahoma is that nobody has been around to see to the application of the law, .and to support its provis ions with a strong right arm and a pair of handcuffs. The suggestion has been found to be full- -of truth, and it is regarded as possible that this may con tain the explanation of the failure of the bed sheets to grow to their statu tory length. Gradually the conviction is forcing Itself home that bed sheets nine feet long, as well as many of the other comforts, conveniences and virtues of civilization are to be won by watching also, as well as praying. Ottawa Her ald. FROM OTHER PENS LIMITATIONS OF EXPERT EVIDENCE. Dr. Brltton D. Evans, of the Morris Plains Hospital for the Insane, who acquired a large degree of eminence by his "brainstorm" testimony in the Thaw trial, has reached the very logi cal conclusion that the frequent dis agreement of alienists engaged in the same trial has done much to engender doubt or the eincacy of expert testi mony in the minds of the public. In a word, the disagreements of alienists often lead to the agreement of Jurors to disregard expert testimony altogether and to rely on ordinary Judgment and common sense. But this Is not the whole story. The fact which enters most largely into the engender ing of doubt as to the trustworthiness or expert testimony is the almost in variable rule that experts testify on the side wnicn subpoenas ana pays them, and seem to strain every pos sible point when on the witness stand to earn their money. Doctors are expected to sometimes disagree, and expert alienists are more likely to hold varying views than any other class or physicians or students, because the nerves-, the brain and the human mind are mysteries that can never be solved, and the treatment of their ailments can never be reduced to an exact science. But that the class of witnesses under discussion should always testify on the side which gives them- a fee, or that alienists should always be found ready to accept a fee and testifv on the side desired, is a eon ditlon of affairs that can bring forth nothing else than doubt as to the trustworthiness of their testimony. Even though a jury In particular or the public generally may not accuse an expert witness or any aegree oi dishonesty whatever, neither has the conscience to rely on testimony which seemingly goes wherever it is paia ior. Newark News. SEEING 'AMERICA. Most people Eastern-born and bred have a consuming desire to see the great West.

The theory that fever and inflam mation are merely nature's weapons to fight maladies in the basis of an in teresting new medical system which is being applied in St. Louis with re sults that have been astonishing the experimenters. In acting on the new theory regard ing fever and inflammation a method first devised by Dr. August Bier, a cele brated German surgeon, is used. Dr. A. Siebert, of 1847 South Jefferson av enue, is a convert to the new theory and a believer In the Bier method, wnicn ne is using daily. xne method consists in holding the blood in an affected part the lungs, the brain, or a gangrened finger long enough to permit the diseased tis sue to take urj all the nourishment in the blood. This is done at frequent In tervals, and is accomplished by means of bandages and vacuum-producing de vices. The artificially produced con gestion Is known in medicine as "hy- peremie." Dr. Bier designed his system for use in surgical cases, but Dr. Siebert has extended its use to so-called medical cases. When a Post-Dispatch reporter ask ed Dr. Siebert to explain his use of the Bier method, he said that one of nis cases is that of a young man who had suffered from epilepsy for years, experiencing one or more seizures. daily until the treatment was begun. This youni man's head has been ban daged twice dally, the bandage being so arranged as to force the blood to remain in his head and permit the brain to take up the nourishment from It. In fifteen monnis the patient has not had a seizure, and Dr. Siebert be lieves he will be well in a year and a nair. The young man 'was struck on the head with a baseball bat in boyhood. The lesion of the brain produced epi lepsy. His case was supposed to be in curable, or at the best, curable only through a dangerous surgical opera tion. The use of the bandages about the head and neck In this case in its rela tion to the new reasoning regarding levers is explained as follows: btarting with the hypothesis that na ture puts forth no useless or uninten tional effort, it was deduced that fe ver which is present In almost all dis eases, was only an increased ac tivity of the blood nature's effort to throw off the disease a -sort of hy- peremie or tne entire body. in anotner case a breast affected by cancer was removed entirely. sloughing" off while new, healthy tis sue, built up by frequent hyperemie, was formed behind It. St. Louis Post- uispatcn. Banks Guarded by Soldiers. Like the Bank of England, the Bank of France is. now guarded every night by soldiers, who do sentry duty out side tne Duuaing-, a watch being like wise Kept insiae its precincts, nut within quite recent times the officials at the French bank resorted to a very novel- method- of protecting their bul lion. This consisted In engaging masons to wan up tne doors of tne vaults in the cellar with hydraulic mortar as soon as the money was deposited each day in tnese receptacles. The water was then turned on and kept running until the-whole cellar was flooded. A burglar would be obliged to work In a. divinsr suit and hreak dnwn a. ra menf wall before he could even begin to plunder the vaults. When the bank officials arrived next morning, the wa ter was drawn orr, the masonry torn down, ana the vaults opened. Curious ly enough, within a few months after this obsolete manner of protecting the bank's cash was done away with, burg lars did actually get Into the vaults and decamp with about $45,000 in gold coin. strand Magazine.

THE EVENING STORY Mr, Thompson's Model. A (By Alice R. Wetoiore.) "Where are you. Bill?" came a lazy drawl from the tiny anteroom, which Thompson designated the office. "Here," replied that gentleman, as distinctly as a mouthful of brushes would permit. "It's only Carter," he explained to hie model.. "Or perhaps you'd rather "Oh, let him come In by all means." replied the girL "I'd rather like to see him." A long, clean-limbed -ounc fellow lounged in, halted apathetically for a moment Denma Thompson a canvas, and then aunk lazily into a pile of cushions on the floor. The girl on the model stand scrutin ised him closely and made up her mind that he was 'the most typically lazy man she had ever seen. His voice, his walk, his carriage, had an absolute lack of effort that was positively fas cinating, and to complete the impres sion, his strong, lean face was abso lutely devoid of expression. Suddenly, however, he gazed Intently and with a semblance of awakened in terest at the model. The pose was rath er striking. A heavy black velvet gown accentuated that peculiar transparency or coloring which accompanies a cer tain deep, rich shade of auburn hair. A dull green background reconciled the brilliant eoloriner of the uoper part of the picture to the dusky mysteries or the lower canvas, xne pose oi tne figure was saved from Insolence only by the winsomeness of the face. Carter pulled lazily at his pipe and continued to gaze at the girl, with half closed critical eyes. "Nice color," he finally asserted. "By Jove, that's a wonderrul pose!" with a suaaen Durst pf enthusiasm that startled the girl. "Are you engaged after you finish with Thompson?" The otner artist opened nis moutn; then, with a quiet smile, closed it again. The girl smiled, too, a little smile that curled her upper up ae- liclouslv. "No, sir. I'm not engaged next week," she replied quietly. "Can you come to me for a two- weeks' pose then. In the mornings?" Thompson looked dubiously at the girl. "Yes. sir, I'll come," she said. The next Monday tne mooei pre sented herself at John Carter's studio. He scarcely looked up as he greeted her. Oh, is that you. Miss Do you know. I forgot to ask your name," he drawled. '"Parks." the girl supplied smilingly, The gown he gave her was also black.

As for Carter himself, he was bliss ful lv haDDV. With the true artist's sen sitiveness he felt the absence' of the usual' clash between the hair-neanea, nrosaic mode s and the ideals he strug gled to embody by their aid.

She was charming in her dark street gown. Her face was flushed and her eyes bright with the exhiliration of an autumn morning, and Carter was strongly tempted to put away serious work and make a study of her as she stood. He banished the idea, however. and soon they were at wont on tne "masterpiece." He refused to believe it when the noon whistle insisted that it was 12 o'clock and Miss Parks de parted. The afternoon was unprecedentedly long. He felt strangely disinclined to work and finally put aside the canvas and brought out some unnmsnea sketches. He worked on tnese until he discovered that he had converted five different heads into unmistakable likenesses of Miss Parks. Then he muttered something beneath his breath and gave up In despair. At the end of the last day but one of the two weeks Carter realized that the central figure of his canvas was completed, and tne realization oraugm a poignant reeling oi regret. son for it came when it suddenly flash ed upon him that tomorrow was Miss Parks's last day. And then it was that Carter made a discovery mat a. leaa Inexperienced man would have made long before. It came with such a shock that he was fairly stunned. He, John Carter, the most unimpressionist of men, in love with his model! When Miss Parks appeared the next day he greeted her with his usual cheerful good morning, but not anoth er word was spoken until she had tak en the old familiar pose for the last time, he said to himself, with a pang. There was a strange restraint of which both were aware. At last, "This is the last day of the pose," the girl ventured. Carter worked furiously. "Yes," he answered shortly. Another pause. "Then you won't want me any more?" The girl's voice strove hard to be commonplace. Carter threw down his palette In despair. Tha girl kept her pose brave ly her pretty head tilted, but the eyes which met Carter's held a look which even he could not mistake. The man brashed his hand across his eyes In a quick, desperate little gesture. He seemed to have brushed the old non chalance away he was fairly trans formed. "Want you?" he gasped, "want you! Don't you know I want you more than anything in the world?" "But you don't understand," the girl began finally In a voice that was somewhat smothered" by Carter's broad shoulder. ."There are reasons," she continued with dignity, "why. I cannot marry you." T "I am all ears," avowed Carter sol emnly, "but you won't mind if I say right now that the reasons won't make a particle of difference, will you?"

York Will Receive $146,000 From Heinsheimer Estate.' New Tork, June 24. The payment of $146,000 to the state comptroller as the collateral inheritance tax on the estate of the late Louis A. Heinsheimer re vealed the fact that the banker left an estate of $14,600,000. Mr. Heinsheimer was a member of the powerful banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb Co., and when he died on last New Year's day It was estimated by his business partners that he might have been worth not more than $5,000,000. The collateral inheritance tax apprais ers investigated the estate, however, and discovered that it was worth about three times what was supposed. Mr, Heinsheimers will bequeathed $2,000,000 to a number of Hebrew charities, among them being a number in the west. Kansas Meet Me at the Chautauqua, in Effect Tomorrow. Governor Hadley Scheduled to Deliver an Address. MANY TENTS SECURED Large Number of Reservations Are" Made. Morning Session Will Ee Held at 10 o'CIock. "Meet Me at the Chautauqua." This slogan will become effective tomorrow. Although the big event opens at ten o'clock In the morning, the crowning opening feature will not take place un til evening when Governor Walter Roscoe Stubbs of Kansas will introduce Governor Herbert, S. Hadley of Mis souri, who will deliver an address. It is expected that the evening attraction will draw a record breaking crowd. -Gilbert A. Eldridge, the impersonator, is a man who has gained considerable repu tation as an entertainer. He will be a drawing card for the afternoon ses sion. Although the Chautauqua was a little late in being advertised arrangements are about completed and Indications point to an unprecedented success in the history of the Topeka Chautauqua association. A programme has been arranged which surpasses anything be fore given in Topeka at a Chautauqua assembly. There will be something do ing all the time, ranging from a pro foundly deep discourse on some weighty topic to the lightest form of amusement for one wishes to be enter tained.. Tenting bids fair to being one of the popular features or the Chautauqua, as many applications for reservations have been sent in from out of town as well as those turned in locally. Two years ago the number of tents on the grounds was 50, last year it was 80, but it will probably be necessary to provide from 100 to 150 tents for the coming event. Garfield park is easily the most picturesque, natural, and restful spot in the city. The trouDle with so many of the parks today is that they are artificial, and one is reminded every where he wanders that he is still with in the range of the "bark" of the side show spieler, and his movements are" limited on account of the numerous "Keep off the grass" signs. This is not the case with the old park out by Sol dier creek. There isgnot thi3 difficulty at Garfield park, and the grounds have never worn a more pleasant smile of greeting than at the present time. A number of im provements have been made especially for the Chautauqua, Including -the straightening of the creek. The advance sale of tickets for the Chautauqua has been heavy and Indi cates a large attendance. Tomorrow is Governor's Day and the motto is, "States are not great except as men may make them.

Boy Who Killed Father May Have to Go to Jail. Garden City, Kan., June 24. Coun ty Attorney Roberts has appealed the case of Samuel Kite to the supreme court.

Takes a Shot at Hiawatha Ed itor and Anthony. He Calls Them Clabber Faced Barnacles. Congressman Scott has, according to the Fort Scott Monitor, sent an "envoy extraordinary plenipotentiary" to Fort Scott (note the Scotts) In. the interest of his candidacy for re-nomination a year hence. This move on the part of Mr. Scott does not indicate that lie takes his reported appointment to the Taft cabinet seriously. Ewing Herbert, of the Brown County World, speaking of the First district congressional fight, declares that An thony should carry Leavenworth, Atch ison, Doniphan and Nemaha counties and concedes Jefferson, Jackson and Shawnee to McNeal, while Brown coun ty is balanced on the fence. Herbert himself has been spoken of as a can didate for congressional honors In this district. Uncle Bent Murdock. in the ElDo rado Republican, also takes a shot at the free-for-all in the First. Herbert and Anthony had roasted your uncle on account of nis allegiance to Governor Stubbs and his acceptance of the fish and game office at the hands of his excellency. Uncle Bent retorted toy de claring that this was the first office he had ever held, while hi3 maligners had grown up in office. The editorial con cluded with the following complimentary reference to the personal appearance of Messrs. Anthony and Herbert "Don't class ua with Postmaster Her bert and Congressman Anthony, both having held office all their lives, both therefore being clabber faced barnacles. The editor of this paper never held down a political job in his life, has no political benefactor and is therefore at liberty to speak his mind, which he doe3 whenever occasion offers." Col. W. P. Hackney, of WInfleld, has begun a series of lectures in his home town dealing with the subject of the truth of the Bible and the divinity of Christ. The old colonel is quoted delivering a powerful address, full of wise saws, classical quotations, argu ments and historical Incident. "Nothing in all history," he said, "is more con clusively proved by contemporaneous writers than the Bible." The following defense of the con stitutionality of the new prohibition law is undertaken by William Kingery. a Phillipsburg lawyer, in a letter to the State Journal: "I read with some interest the arti cle written by A. A. Graham, attor ney, in reference to the following en actment of our recent legislature: 'Any person or persons who shall, directly or indirectly, manufacture or aid, assist or abet, in the manufac ture of, sell or barter any spirituous, malt, vinous, fermented or other in toxicating liquors shall be guilty,' etc "Mr. Graham contends that this would be in violation of the following constitutional provision: 'The manufacture and sale of in toxicating liquors shall be forever pro hibited in this state, except for med ical, scientific and mechanical pur poses." "The fault in his reasoning is this: The words except for medical, scien tific and mechanical purposes is an exception In the constitution and in no way prohibits the state legislature from passing laws prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors for such purposes. "It has been held in various courts that states may pass laws prohibiting the sale of liquors, or regulating its sale, on the grounds of protecting the health and morals of the people. "Our own court has recently passed upon this question. See 70 Kansas, page 13. In this decision, the court correctly stated the law and cited numerous cases. "If the state can pass laws regulat ing or prohibiting the sale of intoxi cating liquors without any constitu tional provision, then it follows that they can pass laws affecting the sale and manufacture of liquors where it will not conflict with the constitution. The constitution excepts the sale for medical, scientific and mechanical purposes. In other words, the con stitution does not affect the 6ale of liquors for such purposes, but leaves that part an open question. It would then be lawful, and not in conflict with the constitution of the state of Kansas, for the legislature to pass laws prohibiting the sale and manu facture of liquors for mechanical, scientific and medical purposes." At the meeting of the hoard of di rectors of the Soldiers home at Dodge City the resignation of S. H. Thomas as commandant was accepted and S. F. Breese of Cottonwood Falls was named in his place. A. W. Smith of McPherson, one of three directors, was opposed to the change, and while a Stubbs man himself, declared that Thomas was ousted because he voted for Leland last summer. Breese is a red hot Stubbs supporter. 65. Thomas is said to have made a fine record during the eight years he had charge of the home. Fainted Under Water. Redondo, Cal., June 24. Charles Alexander, a diver from San Pedro, fainted under water while examining the wreck of the tug Pelican.

The advantages of the ipreader over the old -way of using i fork are so numerous and so plain iat no argument can overcome them. r fit t 7r','T A Manure Spreader In" the first place, spreading manure 'from a wagon is a dirty and disagree able job. In the next place, it is ut terly impossible to distribute the ma nure evenly by this method. By the use of a spreader a man ean get over a great deal more ground and the manure will go very much farther because it is evenly distributed. If you will observe the meadows where you have distributed manure by the forkful, you will see that field presents a spotted sppearanes, the grass being rank in those places where the manure struck the ground, but canty and sparse where no manure reached it. By the use of a wagon a man must stand on the manure while distribut ing It, and the starting and stopping of the team takes time, and altogether the Job is unsatisfactory. With a manure spreader all that is necessary is to back the machine up next to the back of the barn under the stable window and empty the ma- GOOD CONDITION BEFORE LAMBING Before and After Anxious Time for Raiser. Both before and after lambing is an anxious time for the sheep raiser, as he stands to lose considerable or to gain a great deal. Much is written about the treat ment of ewes after lambing and too little is said about giving them extra care beforehand. If the ewe is thin and weak the lambs always make a bad start, for if the milk is deficient both in quantity and quality they are badly nourished. If only one is to be raised it may suc ceed better than twins, but even a single lamb will have a hard time of it if the ewe is poor. 1 know there is danger in having some kinds of stook too t$X at the time of producing their young, but very few, ewes suffer from that. It is most undesirable to have the strength of the ewe impaired at this time, as strength is needed to lamb successfully and condition is wanted tii provide amply for the lambs. For this reason it would be well to put the breeding ewes under careful surveil lance for a time before lambing. A heavy coat of wool may give them a fat appearance, but if the bones are prominent it is not a good sign. Ex tra care and superior food daily are really necessary if one would be quite sure the ewes are in proper condi tion. It is much chepear and more satis factory to do this than to make great efforts to improve them afterward. W. R. Gilbert. In Weanlna PIb Take them away in detachments, beginning first with two or three of the plumpest, largest and strongest; then the next strong est batch, leaving the poor ones of the litter to complete the drying off. The boar ought always to be kept In a pen by himself, preferably away from the other hogs. He should have a good-sized yard in which he can ex ercise. if allowed to run with the other hoes he is likely to injure them badly, Keep him thrifty, but not too fat, or his get will be puny. Good niKS are aot grown and fat tened on wind and water. Good breeding and good feeding are so closely allied that they must go to- rether. One is useless without the other. Value of Good Milkers. A poor milker will make a good cow unprofit able. Gentleness, quietness, the same milker day by day and regular hours for milking all plajs, an important part. Having attended to these things, test the cows thoroughly. It may he some trouble, but there Is work in every thing that pays. Having found the ner cent, of butter fat, weigh or meas ure the milk and observe whether she keeps up the maximum quality or falls off in a little while arter freshening, and whether she goes a long time dry, Sometimes the owner is to blame for ibia. not having fed properly.

Spreaders are so arranged that by a little pressure on a lever the amount of manure can be increased on the iV v i r

r y In Operation bare spots and shut off where not so much is needed; There are plenty of two-horse' ma nure spreaders, but most of them re- quire three horses and sometimes farmers use a double team for the purpose. A good form of spreader is the wagon box type. It is simply a box fitted with the machinery and which will go onto your wagon trucks. They are quickly attached and are light and handy, because they will go anywhere that a wagon will go. These wagons can easily be handled with two horses. A good way to use this spreader is to have two supports on the outside of the barn near the window upon which the box spreader is placed. But a better way is to suspend the spreader from supports by means of ropes and a pulley and when the box is full run the Arucks under, let down the box and drive off. These machines are somewhat cheaper than the regular spreaders, the difference being from $40 to $60. that, given a good test, are found wanting. The profit on a good cow isn't large. We can afford to keep no drones in our dairy hives. Adulterated Seeds. Good work in detecting adulterated eeeds is being carried in by the departmeut of agri culture. Of 1.471 samples of seeds taken last year, 102 samples were found adulterated or misbranded. The department publishes the results of the test together with the names of the firms that sold the seed. It is claimed that since this work began the trade in adulterated seeds has greatly fallen off. Value of Poultry, The hen and her egg are depended upon to pay more grocers' bills than all other agricul tural crops. We are told that pr iltry literature is read by more people than all other experimental literature put together, and I believe that there will be in time a greater demand ia New Englaqd for poultry education than for any other two agricultural branches combined. The Delirious Kind. H. K. Adair, the detective, was be ing complimented in Grand Rapids about an absconding banker he had run to earth. "Oh, the man gave himself away," said Mr. Adair. "He shied too much. Everything seemed, in his morbid mind, to point suspicion at him. He was like the old widdy woman, "An old widdy -woman went to the undertaker's to order a coffin for her deceased husband. 'He was very, very, very good to me she said. 'And I'll have a coffin of the best yellow pine." 'Yes, madam. That'll be $14.' said the undertaker. 'And what kind of trimmings will you have On the cof fin V 'Trimmin's!' cried the widdy woman. 'And right well ye know, ye spalpeen, that 111 have no trimmin's at all when it was the trimmin's that the poor lad died of. bad luck to 'em!'" Detroit Free Press. United States Postage Stamps. Uncle Sam's postage stamps are manufactured by the bureau of en graving and printing at Washington the stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers are made under departmental supervision, under contract, by .a pri vate corporation whose factory is lo vated at Dayton, O., while his postal cards are made under similar condi tions at Rumford, Me. From these points distribution is made to post offices throughout the country upon requisition of postmasters. Postage stamped paper issued during the year aggregated $176,974,190.24, an increase of $3,967,713.97 over 1907. The total number of pieces of stamped paper was 9,772,059,664, all increase of 440, 140,609; books of stamps,' 18,213,S10, an increase of 52G.510. That the Issue of postage stamps will cross the ten billion mark during the fiscal year 1909 Is confidently anticipated. A. L. Lawshe, In National Magazine. Character Part.

The forcing of tomatoes under glass has assumed considerable proportions in the middle and northern states, and the demand a for the greenhouse-grown crop is steadily in creasing. This is due to the fact that tomatoes when grown under glass are superior to those that are grown in the extreme southern states and which must necessarily be picked partially green and shipped long dis tances before reaching our markets. For special table use, such as is de manded by large hotels, the greenhouse-grown fruit will always be in demand. A number of varieties have been put on the market for cultiva tion under glass. Some of these are very good, but none has all the char acteristics which would render it ideal. The ideal tomato is one with the following characters combined: 1. A fruit without a depression at the stem end. 2. A round fruit without ridges. 3. A fruit with the Interior well formed and compact. 4. A fruit of medium size growing In large clusters. 5. A plant having the first flowers J ft J.,

For the last three or four years the crossing of varieties has been car ried on with a view to securing types with characters approximating those discussed above. Out of a large num ber of forms a few kinds were se- tifv 1 MaMWMLAsBweetteViLMeMaaBHW The Undesirable Type. cured which gave promise of good re sults, and seedlings of these have been selected. Only about 20 of the last selection showed decidedly prom ising results. As the time taken to test a new tomato thoroughly ia lon er than with most vegetables, the work will continue in an experimental state for some time. The illustra tions show one of the new seedlings, a desirable form, compared with an undepirable type. GOOD FARM SUGGESTIONS. Be very careful about giving the brood mares heavy loads at this sea ion, but they must have enough gen tle exercise to keep them in good form. Now doth the little louse get in his worn on ine cmcaens. J.eep going the whitewash brush, the powder can and the kerosene sprayer.. The farm well often sends up from its cool depths the rankest kind of ty phoid germs. See that no foul water drains into it from the surface or seeps through from outhouses.- Spread a large sheet under the plum tree and jar Mr, Curculio off his perch. He turns out over one brood a year and any fruit that shows his sting should be burned. A good time to transfer the bees from old-fashioned wooden hives into new ones Is when the blossoms are plentiful. The poultry water vessels should be given more attention than ever. Remember! Do not feed newly hatched chicks too soon. They will die from indigestion if you do. vDo you know young chicks often die from regular chills? Well, they do. Keep them dry and warm on damp, chilly days. Now the calves are coming along, and to start them right means a good animal, while neglect means a poor one. Blood counts, of course, but so does the feed trough. It is a shame to keep a nervous, high-blooded bull shut up in a dark stall. Give him a small but secure lot for exercise. 1 1 1 vis DISK-HARROWING OF ALFALFA At a Trifling Cost This Harrow Splits and Spreads the Crowns of the.

Prof. R. H. Forbes. CELERY FOR HOME AND MARK Vegetable Loves a Cool Climate and a Light, Fertile, Humus-Laden, Moist Soil. Although requiring rather peculiar climatic and soil conditions, yet cel ery can be grown both for home use and market over a wider area than most people think. Almost everybody is fond of celery, and it is a healthful vegetable food. With a little study and experience in growing it, celery might be on the table of ten times the number of homes that it now is. and it might be grown for market by twice the number of gardeners that already grow it. Celery loves a cool climate, and a light, fertile, humus-laden, moist soil. The ideal climatic conditions for the production of celery are bright sun shine, pure air, cool nights and a well distributed rainfall of about eight inches during the growing pe riod In the field or garden. In the production of oelery for do mestic use, a rich, mellow, sandy loam will give the best results. The soil of the seed bed should contain plenty of leaf mold and should be passed through a sieve having not less than six meshes to the inch. The soil of the transplanting bed need not be sifted so fine, and some well rotted b&rnyard manure should replace a part or the leaf moid; in other re spects it should be the same as the seed bed. Any fertile, well drained soil will grow celery, but a rich, loose, sandy loan- Is preferable. The soil cannot well be made too rich, and the pres ence of a large amount of humus or vegetable mold is an essential for large and rapid growth. In the re gions where peat bogs or muck soil abound the crop may be more easily produced on these than on any other soils, but the keeping qualities are not so good, and the flavor is never equal to that of celery grown on sandy loam, or even on clay soils. If nothing but clay soil is available, it may be made to produce good celery by lib eral application of well rotted ma nure. On clay soils there is likely to be injury caused by the soil becom ing washed into the hearts of the plants while they are yet small. High Grade of Meat Animals. It has been clearly demonstrated by experience that it pays the farmer to raise a high grade of cattle, sheep and bogs. The farmer who is using scrub males, whether of cattle, hogs or sheep, cannot expect to produce the best grade of meat, no matter how in telligently he may feed. He has be gun wrong. Let him be particular about the in- tividual merit of the animal. See that ae has good bone, a strong constitu tion and even lines. Be sure that he s strong in the back or loin, short of leek and masculine in the head. Look jut for blockiness of form and short- less of leg. Inquire of the owner how :he animal has been cared for, and leek to duplicate the care when he ia transferred to his new home. Late Potatoes. Potatoes planted after June 1 may aot mature before frost. Potatoes, Ike other crops, need plant food. Po tato soils should be well supplied with aumus to increase their capacity for retaining water. Drought is a se- fious enemy to the crop. Humus is best supplied by plowing under clover. If stable manure is used it should be applied a year ahead of the potato crop. Care of the Ladder. Keep the rounds of -the ladder all good and stout. When you go to trimming fruit trees or hunting worms' nests you- don't want to fall and break a leg. Things that snap under you often take the 'snap out of you. ANGORAS FOR THE FARJfl. Animals Require Little Care and Are U&eful In Many Ways. A successful breeder of -Angora goats says of these animals: "Jl few years ago the interest in An gora goats was so pronounced In some parts of the country that for awhile it promised to become a craze. Since then It has died down to such an ex tent that one seldom hears them spo ken of. But this is not by any means due to the fact that the Angora goat is not a desirable variety of farm stock. On the contrary," I am convinced that if these goats were put on a gTeat many farms and plantations they A FINE ANGORA BUCK. would be found very profitable and cost little or nothing in money or care. "They are superior to sheep in many ways, and may be said to take the place of sheep in most of the direc tions which sheep are found to be use ful on the farm. In one respect they are superior to all other, forms of stock that is, as scavengers. For cleaning up weeds, briars, brushes and email undergrowth where not wanted they are superior to any other known agency. II one nas an oia pasture that has become set in bushes of any kind or a clearing In which thick un dergrowth has come up from roots and stumps, the easiest and quickest way to get rid of it all is by turning In a flock of Angoras. Two seasons will usually suffice for a clean sweep. All the brush will be dead. 'This is certainly a service that will be valuable on many farms. But the Angora is not valuable only as a scav enger. It is equally valuable ror tne sale of the hair and flesh. And it may be remarked Incidentally that where there 19 no brush to be killed out they do as well on weeds and grass as ou brush. The mohair, as the fleece of the Angora is called, has a wide range of prices, and sometimes for an extra fine sample the price is way beyond the range of sheep's wool. Its use is mam ly for the production of fine plushes. for which the demand for use in up holstering is always going to be great. 'In addition to these its adaptability for use in fine carriage robes, couch covers, sofa pillows and similar arti cles may continue to make it sell high. But even if this demand lor the mo hair were necessarily JImlted the de mand for the carcasses for mutton and the very general usefulness of the ani mals Ei keeping down brush on farms are sufficient to keep the price of them up to a point of satisfactory profit.' Best Temperature For Separation, The warmer the milk the more fluid like It is. It is a rule adopted by all creamerymen in operating power ma chines that the milk must be separated at a temperature above 85 degrees F. Cold milk is more viscous, or less fluid, than warm, and the cream will not sep arate so readily. If this is true of power machines, where everything runs more uniformly than is possible with a hand machine, it Is certainly true of the hand machine. It Is one of the stock arguments of some sep arator agents that their machine will skim cold milk. Probably the state ment Is true. If so it shows a wide range o"f adaptability for the machine and that it Is so built that it is difficult to clog up. Take the argument for what it is worth, but do not skim cold milk unless you expect to leave some butter fat In the skimmilk. The milk should be separated as quickly as pos slble after milking. Then the skim ming will be cleanest, the skimmilk will be best for the calves, and the cream will keep better. Department of Agriculture Bulletin. Hints About Fleeces. One and two year old sheep are, as a rule, the heaviest producers of wool Look to them at this age for their maximum yield. With age coarser wool is produced by most sheep. The young therefore yield the best quality for the most part. Dry, harsh fleeces do not meet much favor with the manufacturer; neither should sheep that produce them meet much favor with the grower. Tag locks and dirt balls cannot be rated as high class wool. They sbould not find their way into the center of the fleece when it is tied up. Even the wool buyer will find them and will dock weight accordingly. The mannfacturer divides the fleece into six or seven distinct parts after he gets it. It greatly facilitates his work If the fleece is left Intact, so that he can tell just where each part lies. Sheep Shearings. Select the best ewe Iambs to keep to grade up the flock. Dock the lambs while they are young. The tail should be removed by a sharp chisel and the wound smeared With tar to keep off the flies. Dew .Is good to make the grass fresh In the morning, but there is not enough of it to keep the sheep from being thirsty. See to the water supply. Make the change from dry feed to pasture carefully, allowing the sheep in pasture only a few hours at first. Give a full feeding of hay, etc., in the barn foif several days before turn ing out r 1 v 1 II I !IV.''A. flT W w UULlKliw NOTES BY C.M.BAENITZ ETVE.RSIDE PA- )EEESPOM)ENC3S; SOLICITED Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso ciation.

How the lice got there I don't know. I have had no hens chicks in them, there were no lice on the eggs, and the ma chines are in my house. Can you solve the riddle and tell me how to get rid of them? A. Lice lay nits. These were likely on your eggs and batched in the in cubator. Burn sulphur in machine, light "With hot coal to prevent smok ing and keep Incubator closed for half a day.r Repeat in -ten days to'catch' hatched nits that were laid in ma chine. Q.

If this doesn't work we tie a two foot flannel streamer to their tails pullets two days, old hens three. If a good laying strain they ought to lay in a week, pullets first. Q. My turkey torn has a big lump on sole of his foot. What is it? What shall I do? A." Bumblefoot. Apply iodine and keep him on soft bedding and remove roosti If no Improvement cut across ball with sharp knife, remove Corrup tion, wash with disinfectant, poultice with bread and -milk, bandage and keep bird cooped. Q. Will you tell me why so many of my incubator chicks have crooked toes? A. You run the machine too hot or your breeders have deformed feet. Q. Do you put feed and water in your shipping crates? r A. No. The water is spilled, and in winter this lands bird at destination with cold. With feed and no water bird gets crop bound. We feed and water well before shipping. Q. How do you get a rich yellow leg on White Wyandottes, and how do you keep them so? A. Breed from yellow legged stock. Let chicks run in wet grass when old enough. Bleechlng from age cannot be helped, but birds kept free from scaly leg, lime and ashes hold the color longest. Q. Have you ever seen a cracked egg hatch? A. Yes. Duck eggs often, but hen's eggs should be patched with good court plaster, and this should be soaked and gently removed the eighteenth day. DON'TS. Don't let those head lice suck the blood of your chicks. Just touch their heads and throats with lard! Don't let your chickens suffer for green food all summer. Their system demands it. Don't let droppings rot. in the poultry house. Spread it on' the ground for good crops. Don't forget that hen manure is best for the. strawberry patch and pigeon droppings for flower culture. Don't let that iron poultry house roof leak, when a little putty will end the trouble. Don't let -the chicks in the brooder get wet when a piece of tar paper will close the leak. Don't worry about what the other fellow does or doesn't. Paddle your own canoe correctly. Don't let everybody be familiar with your bulldog. Your chickens may be missing. COLONIZE YOUR CHICKENS. Have you yet slummed down "crowd ed row," where John Bughouse uset Tenderloin tactics to produce poultry? Talk about ragamuffin roosters, bald headed bens and runts packed In closa quarters with filth and crawlers! But "there are others" making mi!-" lions by system on city lots until when their hot air castles explode they find COIiONT BOTSB. that word "crowding" compressed to "ruin." Our motto is: Hatch no more chicka than you have ground and house for. Feed these well, keep them free from lice and filth, so far as possible, and then colonize them. By this plan we seldom lose a bird except by accident. Build small houses that are easily put together and taken apart or have them on wheels or runners, so they may be easily moved, and put your chicks that COLORS' BOTOX.... have been properly weaned from hens and brooder heat into them, flfteen.ot twenty-five ia each house. These houses should be so far apart that broods will not mix and should be moved often, s ground Is kept new. The particular advantages of this sys tem are: Birds are fed more evenly than in large flocks, have more room night and day for growth, have purer air, more green food and space for ex ercise and less filth and lice and liabil ity to disease, while a contagion is quickly stamped out. Chicks grow quickly to maturity, sexes may be sep- COLONY HOUSE. arated, breeders are healthier, hens lay better, eggs are more fertile, stock is never on tainted ground and ground is evenly fertilized. The colony plan is in vogue on man; farms for young and old stock the year around. A rolling stone may gather no green moss, but a rolling colony house, with good stock, gathers lots of long greenbacks. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. You must have two nests for each pair of pigeons, as they do the double stunt ,of .raising one pair while hatch ing another, i Supply tobacco stems and straw for nesting material. Tobacco stems cannot be ground up in the ordinary hand gristmill, as the? simply wind round and round the grinding parts and unwind your tem per. The display of f antail pfgeons at th winter shows was good, but pigeon fanciers are breeding away from the name.- The exhibits were fine in shape and action, but short on tail. Th name is spelled f antail, not bobtail. The idea that the fewer the henf with the male the more fertile the eggs is a mistake. In such case the hens are jealous and always scrapping, while the male, always teasing the hens, cuts down the egg product. The more hens with a rooster the more har mony. The idea among some people that foxes are about extinct would be dis sipated by a trip through the wooded hills after a snowfall. Sly Reynard still gobbles many a young gobbler, but the chicken hawk gets the blame. Poultry shows, if good for nothing else, often cure a swelled head. The fellow wbo brags that he will win so much after the show generally needs a crutch. i- Chemical analysis shows there Is no foundation to the idea that a brown shell egg Is richer than a white she!! egg. It was proved long ago, however, that in manv cases a brown, hravnr hand is more noble than a white, flabby one. When a hen loafs around the nest out of hatching season If s a sure sign that she is egg bound. s It's a picture to see our big White Wyandotte cocks whack the bulldog. They go for him in a sort of a."you-get-out-of-here-quick" way that means business, and Ted "gits." He has been taught respect for the vigorous Amer ican bird. I.

The Tom Mor ris memorial trophy which was con tested for on June 16 by 55 teams of eight entered by clubs of the Western Golf association as far west as Hono lulu, was formally awarded to the Denver Country club today at a meet ing of the directors of the association. Owing to failure of the Oakmount Country club team of Pittsburg, prop erly to interpret the rules it was dis qualified on purely technical grounds. The Oakmount club, on the face of its score finished fifth but according to Secretary Waller of the Western Golf association, it railed in the dif ficult task of marking its cards ac cording to the rules of the competi tion. Whale Hnngs Itself. A big whale tried to run away with the cable connecting this city with Alaska, according to a story brought down from the" North by Captain Laf fin, of the United States ship Burn side. The Burnside was sent north along the coast of Alaska to repair the cable, because during the past winter diffi culty had-been experienced in sending and receiving messages. The Burnside picked no the cable connecting Valdez and Sitka a few miles off Cooks Inlet, not far from Sitka. The crew never had such a time hauling a cable on board as they did that day on the Alaska coast. Finally the cause of the great weight was found. Some time during the winter a whale feeding on the bottom of the ocean with wide open mouth collided with the wire rope. Unable to shake the big wire from the mass of whalebone in its jaws, the big fish turned turtle, rolled over once, turned around, rolled again, and dived. In these few movements the fish prov HIGHBALL X to have gained 25 Pounds Through

ed himself his own hangman, for the cable was twisted tighter about the head of the whale than any' mortal could have done with the most power ful machinery. The whale drowned and the carcass was devoured on the ocean's bottom by other fish. The crew of the Burn side hauled up a. great load of whale bone and found a great twist in the government cable that had been the cause of the unusual difficulty in sending messages to and from either ui me rope. oeatcie JUlspatch to n -cw iorK iieraia. Gold in Adirondack. Accompanied by F. A. Isham, his attorney, Henry Allen, of this place, deputy sheriff of Essex county, is in Albany in an effort finally to estab lish his claim to what is thought by competent experts to be one of the richest gold deposits ever opened in this country. A short itme ago Mr. Allen returned to this place from a long trip through a little frequented section of the Ad irondacks to the west of this village. With him he brought a number of samples of gold-bearing ore, which he exhibited to a few close friends. The day before yesterday he returned from another such trip, and last night he started for Albany, Mr. Isham depart ing today to join him there. Before leaving the village Mr. Allen confided to his friends here, that one object of his trip is to file in the of fice of the secretary o state a claim to the gold mine he believes he has found. The vein has been opened for about 800 feet, and appears to be of a rich and even quantity. Samples of the ore taken from the ledge Mr. Allen has discovered were sent by him to New Tork, where they were tested by representatives or tne Guggenheims. and said to have assayed as high as 4U,uuo to f t o.uoo a ton. a value which experts declare has never before been reached bv vein ore. According to reports circulated here Mr. Allen, his attorney, and his broth er, Eugene Alien, will confer in Al bany with representatives of the Guk genheims and a big New Tork banking house.

Haskell, warden of the, Kansas penitentiary forwarded his resigna tionto Governor Stubbs today. While he made no explanation of his resignation, it Js known here that he has been looking for other em ployment for some time. An investi gation of the prison at the instance of the governor resulted in the discharge of Chaplain McBrian two weeks ago. Warden W. H. Haskell, Who Resigned Today. Warden Haskell was appointed by Governor Bailey and held over during Governor Hoch'swo terms. A change has been anticipated since Gov. Stubbs election. It was supposed it would not be until Mr. Haskell's term expired. Stubbs Is Silent. When asked today. Governor Stubbs declared that the fact Warden Has- kfll had rAHicrnAH tcb dawr tn Viityi At that time he had not received the letter of resignation from the warden. However, he declared that he was not much surprised to hear of it. The governor positively refused to make any statement in explanation of the affair, but had only good words for Warden Haskell, saying that he had done many splendid things during his term of office. While the attempt was being made to, interview Stubbs, the letter of resignation from Haskell was brought in. aud, the governor read it, but still refused to make any statement. He refused to answer yea or no to the question when asked if he had demanded the resignation. M. F. Amrine. confidential clerk of the governor's office, has an import ant report to make in connection with, his recent investigating trip to the state penitentiary. The deepest, dark est kind of secrecy is maintained in connection with this buried report, and it is the guess of those interested that it contains charges of irregular! ties other than those mentioned In connection witn Chaplain Mcunan. recently discharged by Warden Has kell.

Robbins, secretary of the local club, has had a few stings of the managerial bee, and Middlekamp warns to dispese of his interests in the Pubelo ciub. Cooley and Robbins, however, will not ta,k to Middlckamp as botn ot them have enough business on hand to handle the Topeka crtib. They will, however, tend Middlekamp to Kansas City to talk with John Kling. Kling has n?ver talked business with- tha Pueblo directors, reports to the con trary notwithstanding, and he has ex pressed a willingness to iaiK- over preposition.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1909. THIS IS BIG DAY. (Continued from Page One.) given in. Topeka was given. Kansas avenue from Sixth to Seventh street was a mass of peoaple and the band attracted almost as many city people as out of town guests. Buildings in the vicinity of the band platform have their windows crowded with sightseers. Marshall's band has a wide reputation over Kansas and it is the first chance that hundreds have had to hear it. This afternoon the band is playing at the ball game and Vinewood. From All Over Kansas. When the jobbers" and manufac turers' first made their plans they kittle thought that people would be here from outside the regular Topeka territory- Today thefr mistake is shown very plainly. The funniest part of the whole show is that there are over 100 people here from ter ritory within 50 miles of Wichita. (Read that again, gentle reader) and there are several merchants here registered from Wichita herself the Peerless Princess, etc. This came as a bomb to the entertainers but it has given them a new spirit. The whole southwestern part of the state is represented. To come 100 miles for the entertainment Is common, and there are many from that distance. Tire Department Exhibition. At about 11:30 a crowd gathered around the city hall waiting for the appearance of Chief Wilmarth and i his fire companies. Every shade tree In the vicinity was taken advantage of and the house and roof tops were crowded with out of town visitors. Far down Quincy street the people lined up In expectation of the coming spectacle; scores of policemen paroled the line of the drill. And it was with much trouble that the cops were able to hold the masses upon the sidewalk. The city hall itself was the center of attraction; the building was deco rated profusely with flags and bunt ing and the mammoth auditorium, comfortable city hall chambers and offices and the headquarters of the fire department were thrown open to the visitors who took advantage of the occasion and thronged through the building. The first part of the program by the Are department included a parade with the horses on a trot past the i headquarters station. All the com panies In the city with the exception of a few who-staid in their stalls I waiting for a possible alarm were In parade. They passed each other at the corner of Seventh and Kansas avenue and made a beautiful spec tacle. A few minutes later at an alarm from the fire bell they whipped up the horses on a run and the whole (series of trucks, engines, hose wagons and chemicals strung down Quincy street as fast as the horses could stretch their bodies. At the corner the hoBe connections were made, the aerial trucks were sent to the top of the city hall and the big steamer started. Streams of water extended five or six stories into the air sprink led this section of the city. The whole program was carried out without a flaw and in a marvelous short time. It was a beautiful spectacle and drew tremendous applause from the thou sand or more visitors. Last night at the smoker and buffet luncheon given by the Commercial club to the visitors, the halls of the Com mercial club were crowded with visi tors. The Ad club room was the scene of the luncheon and the tables were surrounded for two hours, everyone re ceiving all he could eat. The smoker was held In the front room and boxes C cigars sat on every table. Pop and lemonade were served promiscuously. Vinewood and Ball Game. This afternoon at least. 1,000 out of town people have taken in Vinewood and the ball game between Topeka and Omaha. Vinewood is a lively crowded metropolitan park this after noon. All of the accessories are open free to the visitors with their pass books and they are taking advantage of the many amusements. The lagoon is a perfect mass of boats and motors. The figure eight is darting up and down all the time and the famous "squeezer" ds treating some of the out of town business men to the prettiest girls In the city. Kverything is going full blast. At 3 o'clock the -cars and trains left the park for the ball park. The grand stands are one solid streak of yellow the badges of the visitors. Every one is hollering for Topeka. If the people of Topeka think that the people of Kansas are not in sympathy with the work of the local ball team they should have gone to the game this afternoon. Every merchant Is throwing his hat In the air and as the State Journal goes to press the sporting writer at the tall park phones that everyone is to jseka mad." Dick Cooley is the hero f the occasion every DaseDau ian in Kansas knows Dick and are hollering to him from all over the grandstand end bleachers. Marshall's band is play 3LS J Take it easy!

The banquet tonight will be orie of me Biggest occasions ever hem in Kansas. The mammoth Auditorium has been decorated from the ground floor to the top of the highest seat in the gallery and it never presented a more beautiful appearance. The whole lower floor is covered with, tables tables running clear to the walls of the building. The banquet" tonight will accommodate 1,000 people and it is thought that it will be necessary to turn some of them away. The big doors will be opened at 7 o'clock in spite of the time given by the pro grammes and the people of the city win be allowed to seat themselves in the gallery. The list of speakers is as iouows: Toastmaster I L. Kiene. "Merchants Week II" Samuel E. Lux. "City's Welcome" William Green, mayor. "Topeka Kan, Topeka Will" James A. Troutman.

Colo., June 24. "Kansa3 will send the banner delegation of all west ern states to the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress when the big meeting is held in Denver in August," declared J. B. Case of Abilene. Case, who was the predecessor of Thomas F. Walsh as president of the congress, and who is at present the Kansas representative on the executive committee, has just returned from a trip through Utah ana .Nevada in com pany with J. W. Creech of Herington, Kan., vice president of the congress for that state. He reports that interest over the coming Denver gathering is great throughout the entire west. "Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Wyoming will send their largest delegation in the history of the congress, and I believe that our own state of Kansas will send a delegation that will be greater than even Colorado's," continued Case, who is stopping at the Albany. "We will probably have 800 Kansans here for the congress, and are figuring on several special trains. They will come from all over the state. "A strong effort will be made by our delegation to land the 1910 meeting for either Wichita, Topeka or Coffeyville. We are particularly interested in the congress because of its creation by spe cial act of the Kansas legislature twenty-one years ago. but it has been ten or twelve years since it has met in the Sunflower state. "Southwestern Kansas is much inter ested in the irrigation questions to be discussed at the meeting, and there wil' be general opposition from all our dele gates to the parcels post movement, but we are generally concerned in all efforts to develop and benefit the great west."

Washington, June 24. Ship sub sidy was revived and, a new form of campaign was inaugurated at a din ner given at the JMeW Willard hotel last night. A new blUhas -been pre pared and will be introduced in the house on Thursday by Representative Humphrey of Washington and' in the senate by some friend of ."ship, sub sidy, probably Senator Gallinger. Speaker Cannon was the "guest of honor at the dinner. President Taft gave encouragement to the promoters of the measure by dropping' In upon the diners shortly after 9 o'clock, re maining for a short time. J' The avowed purpose-of "the dinner was to persuade President Taft, Speaker Cannon and the Republican leaders that the new Humphrey bill should be made" a part of the Re publican legislative program next winter. Officers of the league ex plained to their guests the details of a remarkable organization with mem bers in 200 of the 391 congressional districts to create a sentiment In be half of the Humphrey bill. They of fered to turn this organization to the advantage of the Republican party in the next campaign. The two novel features of the Humphrey bill are free ships and a new system p; tonnage taxes. ,f."'.' At present Americans .owning for eign built ships are not permitted to fly the American flag over them or have them admitted to American registry unless they are more than half rebuilt in American shipyards. The bill proposes to admit to Ameri can registry foreign built ships of 5,000 gross tons or more wholly own ed by Americans. These ships are to. be restricted to foreign trade or trade of the Philippine and Hawaiian is lands and are to be barred from the coastwise trade and from mail com-, pensation under the act of 1891 or the Humphrey act.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the German army, it is computed, most of them the younger men, are Socialists at heart, secretly imbued with Socialistic doctrines. The Ger man militarv authorities are aiarmea at the Socialist campaign carried on, especially among the recruits. Cnntaina have lust received the strictest orders to keep Socialist liter ature out of the hands of their men. Twice a week the soldiers' lockers are to be searched and all printed matter in them is to be carefully examined. jkli aolrHera found with .bocianst; pamphlets or leaflets will be severely i punished, and literature offensive to the government immediately destroy- i ed. Rmiallv severe are the new regula tions governing beer shops, public houses, and restaurants ln garrison town. Soldiers are iorDiaueu w patronize any such establishment where Vorwaerts, the chief Socialist organ, or any journal of such stripe, is to be had or which is known as the resort of workingmen inclined to So cialism. On the other hand, the socialist leaders are intensely active in spread In the knowledge .of their tenets among the soldiers. An association has been formed, neaaea Dy a leaaer in me reichstag, for the express purpose of reaching soldiers, particularly re cruits, and damping tneir military ar dor. To them the agents of the asso ciation secretly supply books which de scribe the cruelty, folly, and wicked ness of war, the evil effects on tne state of a huge standing army and the uselessness of a military career. Socialism is strongly tincturing not the German army alone; its doctrines are spreading througn every Austrian barracks: a fact causing tne Vienna government profound anxiety. Berlin Dispatch to the New York World. Zones and Speed Rules. American cities are so wedded to the fid fare system that the chances seem remote for a fair trial of the zone method ty local transportation com panies. No such prejudice stands in the way of the adoption of the zone as a unit in other directions, and Indian apolis is about to introduce a novelty in American municipal practice by at tempting to regulate the speed of trains by means of zones. An ordi nance has Deen iramea alter eonier ence in which the mayor of Indian apolis, the railway officials, and the members of the Indiana railroad com mission took part, which provides that the speed limit In three zones which rave been established shall be 12 miles tn hour in the first district. 25 miles an hour in the second, and 40 miles an hour in the remaining portions of the city. It would he a. happy thought if zones coulud also be created for the regulation of automobile speeds in the city. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Wheat Y'ield One of the Finest Seen in Many Years. Newton, Kan., June 24. Harvesting has commenced in Harvey county. wheat being cut in a few localities as early as last Saturday, although today will witness the inauguration of the work in earnest and from this time forth for the next two weeks the song of the reaper wjll be heard on every hand. A trip through a portion of the coun ty reveals one of the finest wheat crops raised in years. Weather conditions during the past six weeks have been about all that pould" be desired, with tne result mat mucn or the wheat thought to be practically worthless prior to that time has developed into a good crop and will be well worth har vesting. Many fields will average as high as thirty bushels an acre and the average yield for the county will be twenty Dushels an acre. The hailstorm of a week ago last Sunday practically wiped out the wheat through the country which it traversed varying in width from half a mile to two miles wide by about fifteen miles long, but this will not be noticed to any great extent when the total is computed. Oats will make anywhere from forty, five to seventy-five bushels an acre. The corn crop is in excellent condi. tion. The most of it will be cultivated the last time within the next week and then favorable weather is all that will be required to produce one of the largest corn crops ever raised in this county.

WHEAT There was every evidence at the close yester day that the wheat sold by scattered holders and oyer confident local bears was going into the lines of a group of big houses which will be in. a position to rule the market and establish higher prices as soon as the present period of liquidation is over. No one can tell Just where the turning point will be. St. Louis expects first car of new wheat today and a stray lot of wheat might be run Into Chicago next week for effect, in depressing prices. But if each car of new wheat causes short selling of a million bushels by the bears, -we will not have to wait long for a renewal of active bull operations with the shorts the leading buyers. CORN The attitude of the country on corn is a little mora in doubt' at this time than it has been for weeks. The crop is so well advanced that there is more disposition to sell reserves. At the same time movement so far is in adequate to depress prices or accumu late stocks. The weather will have much to do with the. market for the balance of the month. There has been no money made in selling corn short on breaks for months and it may be a risky transaction at this time. OATS Traders will be governed largely by the crop reports. There is excellent buying of the late months and prices act very stubborn around the 43 cent level. PROVISIONS 21,000 hogs against 26,000 estimated. Action of market will be governed by hag msvemeiitx-iegaa Bryan. New Tork, June 24. Trippe says: "Trade and crop conditions continue favorable but the corporation tax law must be reckoned with. It looks like a trader's market for the present." Omaha Clear and pleasant, light rain last night. St. Joe Clear and hot. Wichita Partly cloudy, hot. Chicago, June; 24. WHEAT Senti ment in wheat is extremely bearish at present writing and bulls are a very scarce article.- Traders in discussing the market and its probabilities sa. that they expect to see wheat price3 work lower, but the conservative ele ment argue that there will be small rallies following each break, which will tantilize the bulls and cause them a loss of money. A commision man with a large spec ulative following said that if nrices have a sharp break at the opening this morning, he believed wheat should be bought for a good turn. A professional trader who entertains bullish ideas said that these kind of markets gave those who favor buying a good oppor tunity to accumulate a good line of wheat without attracting any atten tion. OATS "Very little was heard about the green bugs in oats yesterday. There was a few scatered reports from cen tral Illinois telling of the bug but not one report in ten mentioned any dam age; The hot weather has forced the crop along And in some sections It is beginning to head. Inter-Ocean. Chicago, June 24. CORN Crop re ports are universally favorable, weath er conditions being counted ideal. Co lumbus, Nebraska, reports the corn knee high and say it will be waist high by July 4th. OATS The oats crop advices are good with the exception of few claims of rust and bugs in Illinois and more or less beating down of the growing crop by the storm of Tuesday night. The corn market is developing un mistakable signs of weakness, particu larly for the July delivery. One of the largest longs is unloading both July and. September. Record-Herald.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JCT" TAL THXJRSD AY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1909. AROUND THE ft, with the U. S. BATTLESHIP "MINNESOTA" The Burk-Hume Piano Norfolk, Va. Gentlemen: Seeing the advertisements of other concerns praising their pianos that have been on the Ships for two and three months, I write to let you know how our Mehlin Piano, which we purchased December, 1907, for the Battleship Minnesota, has held out, as I have had charge of this piano ever since it has been on board. The piano today is virtually as good as when we bought it ffith the exception of a few scratches on the case which were done by the men on the ship. It has been tuned only once on the entire trip around the world, and that was done while we were in France. While in Japan, Italy and Australia, it was played on by some fine musicians and they were all agreeably surprised to find such a wonderful piano made in America, and seemed delighted with the tonal qualities, though, at this time, the piano had not been tuned since we left Norfolk, December, 1907. There is something about the tone of the Mehlin that seems to appeal particularly to the musician, and they wonder at the carrying qualities and volume of its tone. I wish to state per sonally that I have tried several of the pianos on other ships, and, as far as I am able to find out, ours not only held up better, but there were none which we would trade for, although there were several more 'expensive and had been purchased since we we purchased ours. We wish to state that we are delighted with our purchase, and we wish to congratulate you on the fine instrument which you sold to us, and it will be a pleasure for me to recommend the Mehlin at all times. Wishing you success, I am, The Mehlin Sons Pianos are represented in Kansas exclusively by W. F. ROEHR MUSIC CO. THIS IS BIG DAY. (Continued from Preceding Page.) Our Honored Guests.

At 10 o'clock on the morning of July 5th Kansas avenue will present a kaleidoscopic appearance. There will be revolving wheels bedecked in all colors of the rainbow. It is the occasion of the big parade under the direction of the Topeka bicycle and motorcycle dealers. The idea of the parade will be to work up enthusiasm for the races which commence at 1:30 at the fair grounds. It will be in the nature of a big Fourth of July cele bration, and the arrangements are so well under way that the success of the project seems assured. Every bicycle rider in the, city is urged to join the parade and as a further inducement the participants will be admitted freQ Into the fair grounds. The parade is expected to be a nov el affair, for floats apd freaks wilj form one of its interesting features, and for the most freaky effect a prize will be awarded. Prizes will be given also for the best appearing motorcycle and rider, and the best appearing bi cycle and rider. Some of the mer chants have expressed a desire to take advantage of the parade ,as a means of advertising their establishments. $5.00 to SIS. 00 beautifully band -.$5.00 ollar and $5.00 10c Linen Handkerchiefs These are new IS and 20o qualities bought' es pecially to sell for a trifle to women who would save their finer handkerchiefs from the hard wear that's given them In summer.

The learned Prof. Frederick Starr of the Univer sity of Chicago says women are bar barians and savages. Why? Because: The savage man-killer bears some trophy of his victim. The wearing of feathers and breasts of birds is an example of woman's fondness for bright colors, a characteristic trait to savages. The practice of making cuts in the body for the carrying of decorations is ancient and begins in savagery. Woman is still the jewel wearer. For her, they have the same attrac tion that shining quartz pebbles have for her savage sister. The savage and the barbarian love strong smells and smears of color. Women in civilization continues to employ the paints and the powders, the oils and the perfumes of sav agery. However brave and warlike, the savage recognizes his own weakness. Savage ingenuity in gaining ends through deception, ruse and treach ery has become proverbial, civiuzea woman retains these practices of sav The savage man is largely guiaea by his instincts and intuition. Among ourselves woman s intuition is proverbial. The savage is rareiy pontic, tie i less cautiously influenced by selfish motives than the civilized man. So, too, is civilized woman. Women s religion is not aDOve tnai of lower culture. When she reaches the idea of God. how naive ana crudely anthropomorphic Is her real conception! Woman will continue to De a petter savage than man! So says Professor Starr. N. B. He is a bachelor. DEATH BY LIVE WIRE. PENSIONS FOR SINGERS. Metropolitan Opera Company to Pro vide for Its Employes.
