HER JEWELS GONE Robbery Is Advanced as Motive for the Woodill Murder. Diamonds Fawned by Man Sup posed to Be Eastman. LAME BOB IS BURIED. Is Interred at Public Expense on His Farm. No Church Would Permit Inter ment in Its Graveyard. St. Michaels, Md., June 26. The making public today of the full text of "Lame Bob" Eastman's version Of the death of Edith May Woodill, as related in the letter he sought to mail to Vinnie Bradcombe, his wife, has added a new interpretation to the tragedy. But robbery as a possible motive for the crime now has been advanced. Word comes from Baltimore that a man answering the description of Eastman pawned in that city on Tues day last two diamond rings and a dia mond brooch valued at about $500. Diamond rings, a diamond brooch and a diamond set bracelet worn by Mrs. Woodill when she last was seen with Eastman have not been accounted for. Eastman went to Baltimore on Tues day and mailed from there a letter written by Mrs. Woodill sevral days previously to her sister at McDanlel. Eastman's story of the crime, which ho declared was committed by a drunken woman in a flt of jealous rage, is so circumstantial, however, that Foreman RadcltrTe of the cor oner's jury which is lnquirng into the death of Mrs. Woodill, is convinced of its truth. Mr. Radcllffe again today postponed the inquest to await some action by the law officers. The latter are still inclined to take but little stock in Eastman's declarations. They believe the last letter may have been w-ritten in an attempt to shield his wife and boy from a final and overwhelming stigma. State's Attorney Turner declared to day that he will not close the investi gation until he is convinced that every tangible clue has been followed to the end. Various Theories. The Baltimore police adhere to the theory that it was Eastman who com mitted the deed. Detective Captain Humphrey of Baltimore in an inter view today explained his theory in de tail. He believes, despite Eastman's declaration that Mrs. Woodill was a new acquaintance, that the two were old friends, and that the woman was killed from motives of jealousy when, after postponing her departure to join hr r husband, she finally declared she was going back to her home in Los Angeles. Here, where Mrs. Woodill lived as a girl, the neighbors of her foster father and Col. Thompson himself hold the theory that the girl was killed in repulsing Eastman's ad vances. One of the clues yet to run down is locating the men who were to visit Eastman's bungalow the night of June 16. This letter, found in East man's bungalow, and addressed to "Roberts," as he was known here, was as follows: "Easton, Md., June 16. "Dear Roberts: Ryan and Shot well will arrive Oxford boat 12 o'clock tonight. Captain Lee will take us over to your joint. Get there about 12:40, but must leave after looking the place over. Sorry you have decided not to go this time. (Jirls all at Annapolis. Here is to the one you sent for me. Yours "HOWARTH." There may have been a party at the bungalow prior to the arrival of Mrs. Woodill there on the 19th and this fact may have given Eastman his lilea for an explanation of the crime. Several persons along the road, it was learned today, heard Eastman and Mrs. Woodill quarreling as they drove from Royal Oak station, where he met her Saturday last, to the wharf at McDanlel, where she was fn entering a motor boat with Eastman. Burial of Lame Bob. St. Michaels, Md., June 26. With out ceremony the body of Robert E. Eastmari "Lame Bob" the New York stock broker who murdered pretty May Edith Thompson Woodill, and then committed suicide, was bur ied this afternoon at the expense of Talbot county. The farm near Bozman, where Eastman had made his home during his brief stay in this county and in the bungalow on which place the murder probably took place, was the scene of the burial and as no church here would permit the body to be buried within its graveyard, the au thorities were forced to seek a resting place for it on the farm of the man himself. That the dead man was really "Lame Bob" Eastman, the fugitive New York broker, is now established beyond all doubt. Louis B. Pedler, an artist, on a Washington newspaper, identified the body today. Pedler is a cousin of "Vinnie Bradcombe, the New York actress, who it turns out, is the wife of Eastman, and to whom he addressed the letter in which he charged that a woman had killed Mrs. Woodill. Pedler had known Eastman well in New York, and there was no hesitancy In his identification. The story of the drunken row told by Eastman In his letter to his wife has caused speculation here, and ef forts are being made today to locate members of a party of four or five people who are said to have left here in a launch the day after the sup posed time of Mrs. Woodill's murder Murdered Woman's Mother IYmnd. Lewlston. Idaho, June 26. Mrs. A'bert Kight, mr.ther of Mrs. Edith May Woodill, has been found by a represen tative of the Af-sociated Press, at her home at Ashaka. a settlement in the mountains 40 miles up the Clearwater river from this city. The news of her tlaughter'3 murder had not reached the Mcluded home of the woman and it v as broken to her by the press repre ntative. As soon as she recovered lierself Mrs. Kight related the story of lit-r daughter's adoption by Chas H. rl liompson in Minneapolis in October, 300. Separation of the mother and infant afuX r was the reult of the murder or the husband and father when little A,nna Pearl w'rtz was less than 1 year old-Th family at that time was living on Couse creek, nine miles above Ase tin. The father was shot by Henry Grayson in a dispute over wages. "Arter my daughter, was adopted by Mrs. Thompson, her name was changed t Edith May Thompson." said Mrs. Kight. "I heard from her quite fre- Su.ently for tn flrst two years, Mrs. Thompson keeping mo informed as to htr growth and education. The last I heard, my daughter and Mrs. Thomp son were in New York. Mrs. Thompson writing that she was- taking her to Europe to complete her education. I have since heard indirectly that my daughter was a great singer, but know nothing of her life for the past 14 years. She was the only child by Mathew Wirtz, my first husband, to whom I had been married less than two years at the time of his murder." Captain Humphrey's View. Baltimore, June 26. Detective Captain Humphrey, of the Baltimore police, who has been engaged in work upon locat ing those connected with the Woodill tragedy, scouted the idea today that a woman committed the murder. "Prom what I have discovered." he said, "I have no doubt that Eastman and Mrs. Woodill. were old friends. I con t think it mere coincidence that brought him to live within a stone's throw, practically of her foster- fath er's home. I believe Eastman was in California recently and that he had come to the eastern shore of Maryland, knowing Mrs. Woodill soon was coming east. "Mrs. Woodill had intended returning west a few days after her husband left, but when she found Eastman domiciled rear her father's home, she could not resist playing with fire, in my opinion. We know that Mrs. Woodill saw a great deal of Eastman. I believe at last Mrs. Woodill informed Eastman that she in tended to rejoin her husband and that he became insanely jealous and for bade it. "It Is easy to conjecture that there were mutual therats. Mrs. Woodill had been told much of Eastman's past life and she could easily have threatened to disclose his Identity to the authori ties." Captain Humphrey said it would be useless for him to send men to St. Michaels. "The man who committed the murder is dead," he declared, "so what is the use of sending men out simply to rake up scandal." A. S. Rosenthal, a New York lawyer, who says he represented Eastman at the time he was charged with grand larceny, passed through Baltimore to day en route to St. Michaels. Mr. Rosenthal says he cannot imagine where Eastman got the money to buy the property on the eastern -shore. STORY OF THE KILLING. As Told In a Letter Written by Bob Eastman. St. Michaels. June 26. The full text of the letter found on Eastman and addressed to Vinnie Bradcombe, his wife, giving his circumstantial version of the killing. of Mrs. Woodill by another woman, was made public today. Eastman claims the murder was committed in the bungalow in stead of in a launch as at first suppos ed. The letter follows: .r "Vinnie: Take this money and go at once to McDanlel, Talbot county, Maryland; and claim my body and all my property. The property con sists of 22 acres of land and a bun galow. There Is also a motor boat. Have a sale and convert the whole thing into cash. I don't owe a cent excepting for the paint and pump, etc., which Shanahan Wrighton, of Easton, will be glad to get back as it is not broken, just as it was shipped. "Little girl, I had no hand in the tragedy. I was there and removed the evidence after the other two cou ples fled. I did this for self preser vation and am haunted. The victim was my particular friend and we were well mated. Have only known her three weeks. We all, that is. two men and two other women from An napolis, went to the bungalow for a time. Everyone got full excepting Edith and myself. Edith tried to win one of the girl's fellows and was hit three times on the side of the head with a full bottle of champagne and the fellow hit once. She fell over on the floor and died. "The man did not come to for an hour. I was left with the corpse and can not take a chance for a trial. Life to me is very bitter and I will put down the shades and say good bye. You can claim my property and say as little as possible but get it. I am awfully sorry for you and our boy, and I have been hustling madly to make your path clear, but fate Is against me. (Signed.) "BOB." "Take Pennsylania railroad to Eas ton. Md., and then change to B. C. A. Don't neglect this. This property is valuable." ROOT WILL BACK IT, To Be Chief Defender of Taft's Tax Amendment. Washington, June 26.

Entire Paper and Pulp Sched ule Is Adopted With the Amendment Offered by Senator Brown. BACOK'S AMENDMENT Places Agricultural Implements on the Free List. Is Defeated by the Customary Stand Pat Majority. Washington. June 26. The entire wood pulp and print paper schedules were agreed to by the senate today with an amendment as proposed by Senator Brown making wood pulp free of duty. When the consideration of the tar iff bill was resumed in the senate to day the pending question was the amendment offered yesterday by Sen ator Bacon placing agricultural im plements on the free list. Senator Stone of Missouri, immediately took the floor to continue the speech be gun yesterday in which he outlined the testimony taken by the attorney general of Missouri in his prosecution of the International Harvester com pany as a trust. He asserted that a number of companies had been merg together to constitute this trust, de clared that it was conducting 85 per cent of the business of the country in supplying agricultural implements and contended that It was a trust and monopoly notwithstanding the denial of Aldrich. Soon after Mr. Stone be gan his speech he was interrupted by Senator Davis of Arkansas with a statement that the company had been driven out of his state by legal pro ceedings under the state antitrust law. Stating that his inspection of consu lar reports had shown that the Inter national Harvester company sold its products at home cheaper than abroad, Mr. Beveridge said this extraordinary claim led him to believe it would not be injured by placing agricultural im plements on the free list. He did, how ever, believe that such action would injure some of the independent manu facturers. A lively colloquy took place between Senators Overman and Smith of Michi gan on the attitude of the North Caro lina cotton manufacturers toward tne tariff. Mr. Smith claimed three con gressional districts of the old North state had embraced the protective tariff principles in the last election. "Yes," retorted the North Carolina senator. "They believed you were go ing to revise the tariff downward. I heard It all over the state." Mr. Overman insisted that the North Carolina manufacturers did not need or want any protective tariff. Bv a vote of 26 to 45. Senator Bacon's amendment placing agricultural imple ments on the free list was rejected and the paragraph as reported by the finance committee was agreed to. LAST OF GOULD CASE. It Is Believed That Neither Party Will Take an Appeal. New York, June 26. It is not believed that any appeal will be taken either by Mrs. Howard Gould or her husband fiom the decision of Justice Dowling yesterday, granting Mrs. Gould the sep aration for which she sued and $36,000 a year alimony. Mrs. Gould, who has expressed her gratification over the verdict of the court will soon leave New York for her farm at Lynchburg, Va. While it is possible for either Mr. and Mrs. Gould to bring an action for dvorce, counsel for Mrs. Gould evidently regards this as Improbable for the present at least, af ter Justice Dowling's disposition of the charges mode by Mr. Gould against his wife. In the belief that the case Is ended, Mr. Shear n, counsel for Mrs. Gould, will sail for Europe in a short time. Mr. Shearn asked for an extra allow ance for counsel fees and the court cave him J2.000. This together with the $10,000 allowed recently and the original allowance of $5,000 will bring his fees to $17,000 with an additional sum of $3, S00 for expenses. Mrs. Gould s dowry right In Howard Gould's real property amounts to $3, 000,000 and was unaffected by the sep aration. Mrs. Gould has issued tne following statement: 'T am tho happiest woman living De- cause I have been so completely vindi cated before the entire world of all these horrible charges. Not one little pang shot through my heart at the smallness of the allowance only su rreme Joy and the deepest gratitude. I send a thousand loving thanks to all who have helped me." CLUBS MUST CLOSE. Indications Are That Leavenworth May Become Dry. Leavenworth, Kan., June 26. The clubs of Leavenworth where liquor is handled will have to close that part of their business by July 1. Lee Bond, county attorney, and Chas. Shukers, assistant attorney general, held a conference Friday night m con nection with the club matter and it was announced at the close of this meeting of the oftfHals that the handling of liquor by the clubs would no longer be permitted by the state authorities. Notice will be given the clubs by the county attorney. "The government stamps held by the clubs will expire on July 1, and none of them will be renewed, said Lee Bond The club order will affect a number of organizations, among them: Elks, Eagles. Lions, Antlers, and Leaven worth Turnverem. Coll J. C. Haskell Dead. Columbia, S. C, June 26. Tol. Jno. Cheves Haskell. soldier, planter. legislator and financier, grandson of Langdon Cheves. and son-in-law of Wade Hampton, died nere today. He suffered a stroke of apoplexy last Fri day. Col. Haskell and his brother were for years the chief figures in the state politically. VANTJUKNOW Wichita People Inquire About Stopping Beer Wagons. Visit Attorney General and Ask for Opinion. TOPEKA CLUB CASE. Bight to Keep Liquor in Lockers Will Be Tested. Visitors Would Like to Know Their Bights. A delegation of Wichita citizens, headed by Mayor Davidson and the chief of police, called at the office of the attorney general seeking for in formation regarding the new prohib itory law in general and the proposed plan to run beer wagons in their city in particular. John Marshall is writ ing an opinion regarding this phase of the law, and the peculiar connec tion with this opinion is that it will be based upon a United States su preme court decision which con strues the law to the effect that the seizure of intoxicating liquors ship ped to a prohibition state from an other state Is premature, unlawful and a violation of the interstate com merce law. Several cases were cited in the court's decision, one to prove the point that liquor taken from the station platform and stored in the freight depot was still in process of delivery, and another to show that the goods continued in course of de livery under the interstate law until they had been delivered at the street and number written upon the package and received by the consignee. Mr. Marshall, however, in basing his opinion upon this decision, inti mated that he would be inclined to place a slightly different construc tion upon the law. The assistant attorney general was not positive that the proposed plan to deliver beer to consumers in Wich ita by direct delivery from the station could be stopped. Certainly the Unit ed States supreme court decision up on which he is to base his opinion holds that it cannot be done. If the practice of the delivery of beer by wagon as a part of interstate ship ments is commenced in Wichita the practice will be followed in the other cities of the state. The Wichita visitors also wanted to know what steps the attorney gen erals office will take in regard to the operation of the Topeka club as re gards the locker system. When pressed today for an answer to the question Mr. Marshall replied that he could not speak authoritative ly on the subject but that it was his opinion that a test case would be made of the Topeka club and thresh ed out In the courts. He thought the case would be started through the channels of the county attorney's of fice where it should properly begin from, but the attorney general's de partment will be In close touch with the proceedings and likely take a hand. If the Topeka club continues the locker plan the other clubs of the state, now closed, will again resume the locker system and the local au thorities will await the Initiative from the attorney general's office. "MOB WAS ORDERLY." Masked Men Simply Took a Negro From JaU and Hanged Him. Wllburton, Okla, June 26. A mob of nfy masked men took Sylvester sten nian, a negro known as "Alabama Red," from the jail here early today and lynched him. The negro last Thursday had shot and killed Albert Turner, a deputy constable, who had attempted to arrest him. The mob was orderly. The sheriff was out of town and the night watch man was temporarily absent from the Jail., Members of the mob cut the tele phone and electric light wires to pre vent Interference, then broke open the door of the JaU without opposition and hanged the negro from a telephone pole in front of the jail. Without firing a shot they then dispersed quietly. The body was cut down today and later a coroner's Jury rendered a verdict to the effect that the negro had come to his death at the hands of persons un known. BETTING FAVORS CROSS.

Secretary of Agriculture Likes His Cabinet Position. No Intention of Quitting Except by Bequest. AT THE WHITE HOUSE Consideration Isn't Being Giren to Any Changes. Congressman Campbell's Praise of the Housewife. Washington, June 26. There is abso lutely no truth in the recent rumor that President Taft has decided to ap point Congressman Charles F. Scott, of Kansas, to succeed James Wilson of Iowa, as secretary of agriculture. A local paper published an article to the effect that "a cabinet officer was cred ited with the statement that Mr. Scott's appointment had virtually been settled on." It was on this informa tion that the press associations and correspondents handled the story quite freely throughout the states. The statement, after a careful investigation, proved to be made entirely without foundation. The statement can be positively made that President Taft has not discussed the matter with Mr. Scott or even any member of the Kansas delegation. However, Mr. Scott's friends are of the firm belief that he will receive consid eration when the time comes for Mr. Wilson to go out of the office. There are not a few politicians in Kansas who are interested in the appointment of F. D. Coburn as secretary of agricul ture, and it is said these influences will start a boom in his behalf immediate ly, providing Mr. Coburn will permit his name to be considered in the ap pointment. "The only way that I Will leave my present position is for mv resignation to be asked for, and that has not been done," said Secretary Wilson, as he left tne white House the other day. He made this statement in reply to the story that he was going to be retired in December and succeeded by Mr. Scott. Heretofore the stories of Mr. Wilson's retirement after he has served part of his present term under Presi dent Taft have credited Gifford Pln chot, chief forester of the department of agriculture, with being the man to be elevated to cabinet honors. When the story was brought to the attention of the White House it was stated that no consideration was being given to the retirement of Mr. Wilson or any other cabinet officer. It is generally believed by the politi cians at the capital that Mr. Wilson will not relinquish his portfolio in the cabinet unless requested to do so. The rumor has been circulated for two months or more that the president was desirous of making a change in the department of agriculture for two specific reasons. One that he wants to start out his year with a complete cab inet of his own, and the other, to sat isfy certain business Interests of the country in the matter of rulings in the administration of the pure food law. Dr. Wiley, is therefore. labeled to go wnen Mr. Wilson steps down and out. Congressman Phil Pitt Campbell of Kansas praised the housewife "who knows her art" in an address before the graduating class of the McKlnlev Man ual Training school this afternoon. He also declared that there is a tendency in this country to educate the people away from the idea that labor is hon orable and dignified. In beginning his discourse the Kan san said: "We are building in this country a new nation. We are build ing it of German, French, Italians and many other nations. We are in the midst of this building process. In this evolution we have given the type physical and moral courage." Continuing he declared: "We are a nation of thinkers, and we have learned how to apply our thinking. The secret of our success is that we have applied knowledge more effec tively than any other people in the small, commonplace, practical things, and that is the reason she is manu facturing so many things, and manu facturing them well. "There has been some tendency to educate the people away from the idea that labor is honorable and dig nified. Many schools have been educating young men away from the farms and the forges and the young women aww from the kitchen. "I am dad to see the pendulum swinging back, for this graduating class, and the splendid school it rep resents, is tangible evidence that it Is swinging the other way. There is no more hopeful sign in American life." Turning to the young women of the class he said: "The art or cook ing is one that we have not pur sued In the United States to any appreciable extent. I firmly believe that bad coffee has more to do with the current domestic Infelicity than any other element. Nothing will start a man out in the morning in worse form than denatured coffee. My dear young women, make a good cup of coffee above an otner inmgs. "There are false notions about manual work," he said, "insidiously striking at American life. The boys seem to be trying to get away irom manual labor. They are coming to the cities from the farm, seeking not necessarily easy jobs, but not man ual Jobs. The result is orten snip wreck. i "The European often wonders why the American does so many new and untried things. Because he is not afraid to launch out according to his onnvlotlon: because he is not afraid to break convention; because he does not recognize that any disgrace at taches to the hard, steady, relentless, work which throws bridges across mountains, spans the wild rivers. tames the prairies and makes a continent blossom with prosperity. "Don't forget It is only the un thinking, the benumbing toil' that is degrading: not honest, thinking la bor. Only by working can your mission be accompnsnea ana your debt to the community, for having supplied you with this education, be renaid. Mr Campbell Is a mighty good ex ample to be held up to the youth of todav. He was a son of a very poor family, and after the death of his father worked hard to support his mother and brothers and sisters. His friends declare he never had any school training after he had reached the age of 17 or 18 years. Today he is one of the foremost national legislators. William T.'

"THE TAFT PLAN" Tariff Amendment Taxing Net Earnings of Corporations Is Offered in the Senate by Sen ator Aldrich BACKED BY PKESIDENT i It Is Expected to Go Through With Little Opposition.

In general form the corporation tax measure follows the outline given by the Associated Press after the conference at the White House on Tuesday night when the subject was oonsiaered by the president, lawyers of his cabinet, senate and house Re publican leaders. As drafted by At torney General Wickersham. and Senator Root the measure is believed to be amendment proof and an effort will be made to put it through con gress -unchanged. It will, be designated as "the Taft plan," the weight of the president's name be ing depended upon largely to encom pass its enactment. Briefly stated, the plan imposes a tax of two per cent upon the net earnings of every corporation,, joint stock company or association or ganized for- profit and having a cap ital stock represented by shares, and every insurance company, organized under the laws of the United States or of any state, territory or district, organized under the laws of any for eign country and engaged in business within the United States.

FRIDAY. SATURDAY. series LOSTINTHETENTH Opening Game With Des Moines Goes Into Extra Innings. Topeka Started Out Strong But Finished Weak. HAD PATCHED LINEUP Kahl Was Unable to Play Ah bott Bested on Bench. Burnnm and Biersdorfer the Opposing Pitchers. With a patched up team, the Topeka sturdy baseball athletes dropped the opening game of the series to Des Moines yesterday afternoon In a ten Inning struggle at Western League park. It was a hard game for the locals to lose, especially after securing a commanding lead of two runs in the second inning. But things are bound to break bad occasionally, and it is tetter that they should now before the season gets further advanced. What Burnnm Didn't Use in the Pinches. Many would lay the defeat to Umpire Topeka and Wichita divide evenly after hard struggle. (Mullen and it is true that he had many was juggled around the infield awhile close decisions to make, which, if they and finally Kerner heaved it away, al hc v,een i-Anrierri rHfPrentiv tntcht I lowing Burnum to tally. .av uvril the name for the locals. But Mullen was undoubtedly giving the de rlsions to the best of his ability and impartially and there is no disposition to criticise here. One decision which Ji made, however, contributed to the defeat of the locals. In the sixth in ning Kunkel held the ball on third the old trick of hldlne the ball and Williams was caught oft third. Mullen did not see the play, and a moment la ter Williams scored for the visitors. But Topeka put up a great fight for the game considering the lineup in the field. Biersdorfer, a left-hander,' was the pitcher for the visitors and Cooley thought it wise to give Abbott a little rest. Kahl was home in bed nursing a eore right leg and Geier was- drafted lor the second base Job with Thomason In left field and Fenlon shifted over to right on account of the sun. With three changes in the lineup a team is bound to be a little off color in team Work. Butch Kerns on FirstNotice tlio Big Mitt. It was a battle between southpaws, Mr. E. Bridget Burnum flinging the horsehide for the home crew and Benja min Biersdorfer doing a similar Job for the visitors. Burnum was hit hard and often, extemporaneously and impromptu, but he managed to keep them pretty well distanced for nine innings. Biers dorfer was not so generous with his bingles, but most of them were in serted with timely effect. Both pitchers got themselves in the hole often enough and some clever exhibitions of pitching in the pinches were uncovered during the afternoon. It really looked Ilk a Topeka vic tory most of the way. In the first in ning local hopes soared high, due to a walk to Lljah Wooley, a passed ball by Kerner and Geier's woozy liner over second base. Des Moines tied It up in the second when Dwyer got on first through an xror and Kern's, allowing the ball to Many witnesses attend Dr. Lindsay injunction case in district court.

This placed the Juvenile lead er of the invaders on second, and he reached third through the agency of Williams' long fly to center field, from which station he scored when Kerner hit the ball to left field. But Topeka's pastimers came back with two more in the last of the second which for some time seemed sufficient to put the game in cold storage. Mc Manus led off with a single through second base territory and reached sec ond on Thomason's sacrifice, going to third on Downie's infield out and scor ing on Wooley's scratch hit. The ball It was m the sixth that Des Moines exhibited the first symptoms of win ning,- and somes trong symptoms they were. With one down Williams hit to right field for a bag. Kerner hit through second base, putting Williams on third. The infield was drawn in for a bunt, and Biersdorfer popped a sickly look ing affair Just beyond Geler's reach and Williams scored. Dalton hit safe and Kerner danced across the plat with the tying run. This was four hits in a row but Burnum collected himself and easily retired the next two. Then for four exciting innings the two teams battled for that necessary run. Topeka had a chance in the sixth and another in the seventh and tenth, One hit would have turned the trick on either cccasion but the pinch affair never came. In her half of the tenth. Niehoff banged one down the left field lice good for two bases. Williams laid down a bunt and beat it out. It was beaten out because the disheveled in field didn't know how to play it. Then Kerner walked and the bases were all Jagged. Dalton bunted and Kerns fail ed to handle the throw properly on first and the winning run was in Des Moines will play here again to morrow. The Topeka athletes promise to show the public that they can win btfore a large crowd despite the two recent efforts to the contrary. Topeka Is going .as good as Des Moines and from the position of the two teams in the standing, the battle tomorrow should prove a memorable one. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. PO. A.

Kahl's accident may. keep him out "The report heard around the world" is distributed by Sec. Coburn. of the game for several days. He is hobbling around the house on a crutch. Had he been in the game yesterday there would have been more hitting. Kahl's specialty is sousing left handed curves. Des Moines has one new man in the game new to Topeka in Clyde Williams, the second sacker. Wil liams played with Toledo before go ing to Des Moines. In the winter he coaches a football team at an Iowa seat of learning. Cooligan is a pretty classy looking player. In fact he is showing quite an improvement -over his showing when here last time, and he was pretty good then. Yesterday he got three blows off a left hand pitcher, and he is a left handed batter. Kerns retired the side in the tenth with a neat double play. Cooligan directed a fast one into his big mit, and by touching his foot on the sack he caught Dalton by several feet. Kerns had an 'oft day at the bat. Thrico he fanned by going after balls a little bit too high. In the tenth inning it looked as though there was a chance to score. With one down, Wooley sloughed a Texas leaeuer over short. He was put out of the running though in an attempt to steal. Hendrix demonstrated his class as a ninch hitter by taking three healthy swings. Bob Lowe was an interested spectator at the game, but didn't see much to interest him. There was nothing sensational during the fray, To date Des Moines has taken but three out of the eight games played between the two clubs. Denver 11, Sioux City 1. Denver, Col., June 26. The Sioux City twirlers had nothing puzzling to the Grizzlies yesterday and Denver won by a score of 11 to 1. Freeman with his underhand ball was knocked out of the box in the fifth and Roth- ermel succeeded him. Stovall's lone tally in the ninth following his triple was the only run for the league lead ers.

There will be few of the remaining games on the schedule called off be cause of wet grounds. The only ex cuse that goes hereafter is rain at the time the game is called, accord ing to Manager Cooley. There are already too many postponed games on the Topeka calendar which are piling up in the shape of double headers. Johnny Shea whose feet were poisoned by loud hosiery has re covered from his recent affliction and latest reports are that his hose dis play is now a very tame affair. Belden, Jones and Stankard of the Denver club are hitting above the .350 mark. What Denver needs now however Is not so much slugging, but more inside work in the offense. The Sioux City Tribune is authority for the statement that Neckinger, un til recently a Des Moines asset, is to be turned over to the Pueblo club. Kansas City Journal: Speaking of ball players, we call your atten tion to one Mr. Boles, late or Topeka. Two hits and perfection fielding was his share of the game. This Doy can run bases some, too, if anyone hap pens to Inquire about it. Sioux City Journal: And the way that Wichita team keeps on winning is beginning to cause the fans throughout the circuit some un easiness. We still think that Wichita is a good club, but not necessarily a first division aggregation. Maybe it is. We hope so. At any rate it has three cracking good pitchers in Brennan, Shaner and Aitchison. Des Moines has a good pitching staff in Miller, Lange, Biersdorfer and Clarke. Miller and Clarke belong to Comiskey, likewise Bader, Dalton and Mattick in the outfield. Scissors Ashley who is still twirling for Enid recently pitched a no hit game for Enid. Scissors may yet get out of the class C circuits. Bob Lowe wants pitchers more than anything else. He says he never saw such a scarcity of good pitchers and cannot account for it. What is wanted In the line of pitchers he says are good right-handers who are shy on spitters. The day of the spitball pitcher is evidently passed. Many of th bie leasrue catchers have been strongly opposed to it, and Dooin of the Phillies won I caicn a spnua.ii pitcher. Lowe has watched a num ber of clubs play this season and finds most of the infielders small men too small for big league teams. Ttv th defeat of Wichita and Sioux rMt-u- vesterday and the victories of Des Moines and Denver, the six lead In? teams were brought closer to eether. There is certainly a pretty race in the Western league. The two nw Kansas towns have had a beneficial effect. Otto Floto in the Denver Post The article of ball that the Denver team is playing at the present lime, If kept up, should land them among the leaders in a short time. They have demonstrated that no team in tb Western league has anytmng on them when playing together, and Jones is as confident now as he has always been that he will be among the first two wnen tne season enns. Th fans are all rooting hard for the Grizzlies, and that in itself Is giving the boy much encouragement. Bobbie Lowe, the Detroit scout, is in Wichita today but will be back to morrow. Sioux City Journal: With the an nouncement that he had signed "Prince" Rothermel, the young Ames giant, as a member of his pitching staff and that he had lines out for a Western NOTES L J Golf championship decided Country club players. by finished twirler from the big league, Manager "Ducky" Holmes, of the Champion Packers, dropped into Sioux City yesterday from Chicago, where he has been hobnobbing with' the magnates of the majors since Sunday. Rothermel, who has been with the Kewanee club of the Central association this season. Joined the Champs in Des Moines on Saturday and was put through the paces by the Packer chief himself. The big youngster has a world of speed, even more than Melter, according to Man-, ager Holmes,' and he will give him a thorough trial. During the winter Rothermel was signed by Guy Green at Lincoln, but was not given chance in the Nebraska capital, being sent to Kewanee. The salary was too large for the minor league club to. pay, and it was forced to give him up. It is reported that the St. Louis, party composed of Roblson and Gil bert, secured an option on Red Fisher, the fast Omaha leftflelder. The contest for the booby cham pionship is -how being waged by Lin coln and Pueblo. The odds are a lit-, tie in favor of Pueblo today WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Kansas State League. Great Bend at Hutchinson. Arkansas City at Newton. Wellington at Strong City. Central Kansas League. No games scheduled. Dick Brown has refused to join the Junction City team. Dick has reach ed that stage of maturity when he thinks a job in a restaurant is more profitable than playing third base. And doubtless it is for him. Wellington has made a change in the batting order and Gowan is lead ing off. Emporia is having a lot of fun with, the City league. There are six teams and games are played three times a week, being called at 6 o'clock, and under ordinary conditions a whole game can be played in this time. There is a movement on foot to have the stores close on a certain afternoon each week, and play double headers on that date. President Hostutler has settled a long standing controversy, and has set aside the claims of Newton on Pitcner Hayes, and awarded him to Welling ton. Great Bend Tribune: Stop and think of the changes made in the Mil lers' lineup since the season opened, and compare with other teams in the league. Only one infield position has been changed, two added to the out field and the pitching staff remains the same. It seems as though New ton and Strong City weakened their teams by making so many changes. EmDoria Gazette: Fred Martin, shortstop for the Cubs, received a telegram from the manager of the Junction City team this afternoon to report there tomorrow to join the teaui. He went to junction city tnis afternoon. Martin is a fast player and his departure will be a loss to the Cubs. Lord is not with Beloit any more. Be.loit decided that he was not the good Lord often spoken of in litera ture, and Clay Center now has him. Joe Bond, who was with Ellsworth last year, has joined Manhattan and Is proving a tower of strength on thm third corner. Scanlon of Chapman won't play first for Quigley. The youngster's parents entered an objection and now Qulg wants another first sacker. Manhattan fans have evidently changed their opinions of the Manhat tan team. Before the season opened the fans were ridiculing the other managements for having so many men signed up. Now Manhattan Is looking for more men. Never mind the race is still young and Salina may yet emerge on top. Quigley has released four of the Sa lina players. They are First Baseman Horrill. Catcher Masters and Pitchers Worrell and Smith. Quigley will play first himself until ne can secure an other first sacker. Misse and Leonard will play at second and short. Bennie Owens, the well known foot ball coach, is taking hold of the Ar kansas City team and will make the, Grays climb higher on the ladder. Bennie can not play since the loss of his right arm, but he will be in a suit every day and do some coaching. Ben nie lives in Arkansas City and is Just the man for the place of captain.. Layne will still act as business man ager of the club. Affy Wilson, the new manager of the Abilene team, is getting a good start. Affy is a good player and will be popular in the Central Kansas. Abilene's new catcher, Argot, is there with the goods, according to the dope column of the Chronicle. JOHN DOVITY PRESIDENT. Brother of Late Magnate Elected to 1111 Vacancy. Boston, June 26. John Dovey has! been elected president of the Boston National league baseball team, suc ceeding his brother, the late George Dovey.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 26, 1909. DOING GOOD WORK Topeka Shows Improvement in Batting and Fielding. Kerns as& Eahl Hare Added Many Points to Averages. LEADERS FALLING OFF Fenlon and Geier Lead in Num ber of Hits and Runs. Defensive Work of Cooleysox Steadily Grows Stronger. The work of the Topeka team during the past week, has shown improvement both in batting and in fielding. The Improvement isn't as great as it might be, but as long as the team is hitting better and fielding better, there ia lit tle need for criticism, as general im provement is what is needed. In batting the record of the team im proved but one point. The team hit good against Wichita, but did not do so well against Omaha. Several of the players have made good individual gains during the week, especially Kahl and Kerns who have advanced toward the top of the list. Fenlon, Geier and McManus have dropped several points. Kenlon hasn't hit as consistently dur ing the past week as previously during the season. In fact it has been Fen Ion's worst week. Geier has not hit at quite his usual stride either. Downie end Kunkel have both advanced a few points. Downie got three hits in one game which helped considerably, and Kunkel was also fortunate in bunching his in two or three of the games. Wooley hasn't done as well, having fallen sev eral points. Lijah isn't hitting quite up to his usual form yet, and hasn't been all season. Wrasty Wright is the nominal leader of the team with the stick having done considerable whack ling with the ball during his few op portunities. Wrasty says It is not luck though and that he is an unusually ;gnod hitter. He expect? to finish about f .375. Fenlon, however, continues to be the real leader. Kerns and Kahl are crowding him pretty close. Geier is the best run getter on the ,club, having tallied 34 times. Fenlon .comes second in this respect. Geier 'leads in the number of hits with Fen lon a close second. The team has improved three points in fielding. There are two or three bone head play which are not count ed in this department, otherwise the felding would be on a par with that of last week. In the case of Geier and Kerns who have played out of position a number of times, the averages shown are their totals of the two posi tions. Geier has made a few errors on the infield, which are included and nat urally bring his total percentage down a few points. These, however, will not be included in the official averages which will be issued by President O'Neill shortly after the season opens. The averages: Batting Averages. Flayer A.B. R. H. Pet.

The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron Is only a-dlm shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood.

Comlskey Said to Be Dickering for Tiger First sacker. Detroit, June 26. Negotiations looking toward the acquisition of Claude Rossman, the Detroit first baseman, by Charles Comiskey of the Chicago American team, are said to be in progress.

MEMORIALS TO THE MEM OHY OF GEORGE DIXON. Upper left Monument erected to the memory of George Dixon at Mt. Hope cemetery, Boston. Upper right Memorial drinking fountain erected to his memory by public subscriptions at a cost of $1,400. This drinking fountain is located at Bromme and Thompson streets, New York city. Below is the monument which was proposed for Mt. Hope cemetery, but which the relatives objected to. For this reason it was decided to erect the drinking fountain instead. .y GEORGE DIXON'S GRAVE. I J-J j Little lighter's Resting Place Fit tingly Marked. New York, June 26. It is not very! often that a monument is erected in I honor of a pugilist. It is true one was put up for Jack Dempsey. but that is about the only known monu ment erected over the grave of a boxer. In New York it was intended to erect a monument over the grave of George Dixon, once the greatest fighter that ever lived. The design did not meet with the approval of Dixon's relatives, and instead of put ting a monument over his grave, a drinking fountain dedicated to him was built. It is located at Broome and Thompson streets, New York city. Followers of pugilism in all parts of the country contributed. Joe Humphrey, one of the best known sporting men in the country, was chairman of the committee which worked on the plan. Others on the commitee were "William Hicks, Terry McGovern, Young Corbett and Jimmy Buckley. The committee has just completed Its work and made a report. The drinking fountain as well as a head stone over Dixon's grave cost $1,750. The total amount subscribed was $1,784. The remaining few dollars were used for printing and postal expenditures.

Harry Trendall of St. Louis was awarded the decision over "Phil" Knight of Leavenworth at the end of a ten round bout before the Empire Ath letic club last night.

George Sargent, entered from the Hyde Man or club, Sudbury, Vt., won the four teenth annual golf championship of the United States yesterday over the Englewood club's links by four strokes, his medal play total at 72 hole3 being 290. Sargent is an Englishman, who be gan as a caddy abroad, and has lived in Ottawa, Canada, for several years. He is counted with Dominion players. The feeling is that the title has gone to Canada. He played a consistent game throughout. In order he made 75, 72, 72 and 71. Second place' went to Thomas Na mara. Boston, who also began as a caddy, while other title holders mov ed up sufficiently on the last round to take third and divide fourth moneys. Walter J. Travis, former internation al title holder, was the only amateur to share in the purse which, of course, in his case, will be changed to plate. DROWNED IN' A WASH TUB. Ten-Months-Old Baby Girl Was Dead When Found. Wichita, Kan., June 26. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Kirby's 10-months-old baby girl met a most tragic death at their home, six miles south of here. The parents left the little one in the kitchen during the storm, to attend to the chickens in the yard. Being but a short distance away, they did not give a thought to the infant, which crept to the back porch, and in its desire to reach its mother, fell into a tub of water there and was drowned. Pawnee Co. Needs Harvest Hands. Larned, Kan., June 26. Mayor Frizell has sent out an advertisement to all the daily papers, announcing that 2,000 harvest hands are wanted in Pawnee county, w-ages $2.50 to $3 per day, harvest to commence on June 28th. R AILRO AD NEWS. Rock Island Is Trying to Pur chase Santa Fe Central. Will GiTe This Road Strategic Line in New Mexico. INTO ALBUQUERQUE H. U. ffludge Said to Be Pushing the Negotiations. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Albuquerque, N. M., June 26. The sale of the Santa Fe Central railroad, now the New Mexico Central, and its allied properties, has been reported so often; the building of the Albuquerque Eastern into Albuquerque has been predicted for the immediate future so many times that New Mexico people have for the past year consistently passed by practically all rumors con nected with the affairs of the railroad and its Albuquerque connection. There is now. however, ample rea son for giving full credit to a rumor which has been current among well in- formed -business men here for several days that the Rock Island railroad sys tem is not only negotiating for the pur chase of the New Mexico Central and its allied properties, the Albuquerque Eastern and the Hasan coal fields, but that the negotiations are very near to a satisfactory conclusion; if, indeed the transaction has not already been closed. Colonel W. S. Hopewell, vice presi dent of the New Mexico Central, who has had active charge of all of the more recent negotiations in connection with the properties, declined last night to discuss the rumored sale to the Rock Island system, in any way. Col onel Hopewell has maintained a per sistent silence concerning all the affairs of the Central for some time past and declined again last night to say any thing at all. It is known, however, that the Rock Island system has made a definite pro posal for the purchase of the New Mexico Central and the Hagan coal fields and that the proposal includes the completion of the line to Albu querque. Whether or not this proposal has been accepted cannot be stated definitely. It has been said within the past day or two by men in a position to know that it has been accepted, and that only the details of the transaction remain to be completed. In any event it is not unlikely that the coming week will bring a definite announcement as to the sale. In the meantime the matter gains Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts axe known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug- 11 ?WfSl&l 111 ijf added confirmation through the visit in New Mexico last week of H. U. Mudge, vice president, and the operating head of the Rock Island system, accom panied by a number of Rock Island of ficials. The party traveled in Mr. Mudge's private car, covering the en tire New Mexico Central line and in cluding a visit to the coal fields at Hagan with a thorough inspection of the territory along the line. Although Mr. Mudge's fondness for New Mexico 'is well known and al though, even since he severed his con nection with the Santa Fe svstem his visits have been frequent, it is not to De supposed that he would choose an Inspection of the New Mexico Central and its territory as a pleasure trip ana tne visit is taken as giving final confirmation to the well founded re ports that the Rock Island has closed or is near to closing a deal for the New Mexico line. The statement is made freely by men In a position to know that the sale to the Rock Island will be closed satis factorily and that Rock Island trains will be running into Albuquerque with in a year. PROMOTE NEW STEEIi TIE. A Preacher and Blacksmith Secure Patent on New Device. Ottawa, Kan., June 26. If the ex pectation of Ottawa men are realized the business of railroad building will presently be revolutionized at the fin ancial benefit of Franklin county par ties. An effort is to be made at once to put the Eels steel tie on the market. Letters patent were issued some time ago to Rev. M. Eels and Elmer An derson, both residents of Centropolis, and the latter a blacksmith there. Yesterday arrangements were closed with S. P. Costigan to look after the promotion of the invention. What appears to be a reliable proposition from a large concern to sell the pat ent for $35,000 has already been re ceived. The new tie is fashioned out of thin sheet steel. It is square in shape, and three-sided, the top being open. It has the dimensions of the ordinary wood tie. The objections, on the ground of unelasticity, made against all previous inventions in the line of metal and cement ties are overcome in this tie by having the rail rest on a square block of wood which is clamped in the metal tie by an in genious arrangement which permits of taking up all "slack." The edges of the rail fit into indentations in the steel sides of the tie and the danger of spreading rails is therefore over come. "This tie can be made at about the same cost as a wood tie can be pro cured," said Mr. Costigan this morn ing. "I am going to submit to some practical railroad men, and if the judgment is what has already been in dicated, we will proceed to extensive tests in practical use." COAST DINES SHOPS. To Be Placed on a Par With Topeka, According to Rumor. San Bernardino, Cal., June 26. A well defined but unconfirmed report has reached San Bernardino of a new system which the Santa Fe is about to inaugurate in the local shops. According to the report Master Mechanic I. C. Hicks is to be shifted to Los Angeles and a position of superintendent of shops, similar to that in vogue at Topeka and Al buquerque, is to be installed, with jurisdiction over the mechanical facilities of this city. H. S. Wall, present master mechanic of the Arizona division, with .headquarters at Needles, will be assigned to the new position and transferred to this city. L A. Mattimore, general fore man of the shops at Needles, will be promoted to relieve Mr. Wall. The change in no way depreciates the authority vested in Air. Hicks, but is simply in line with the proposed gigantic improvements which the Santa Fe. in the near future, will un dertake in this city, and which will place the local shops on a par with those at Topeka. MORE RAINS MOKE TIES. Good Progress Reported on T. X. W. Out of Onaga. Onaga, Kan., June 26. Engineer Neuhart is smiling very pleasantly these days. The weather is Just what he likes for the pushing of his work on the railroad grade raining only at night and on Sundays, and then not too much. His various contrac tors are all pushing the work nicely and rapid progress is being made. J. T. Atkinson came in yesterday with a 40-team outfit and will locate for work at the big fill. Mr. Neuhart con templates no trouble at this place, and is of the opinion that it will be ready on time, reports to the contrary not withstanding. Peak Chambers are unloading a 20-team outfit at Wheaton. They have a stretch of work Just east of Llllis. An 100.000 ties direct from the south began delivery here this week. These are oak timbers and are trans ferred at Topeka for this town, thus saving one handling. AFFECTS ALL ROADS. Commission Refuses Cut In Freight on Union Made Garments. Washington, June 26. An appeal to the Interstate Commerce commis sion by the Association of Union Made Garment Manufacturers of America for a general reduction in freight rates on overalls, Jackets, shirts of low grades and play suits for children, was rejected, the commis sion holding that the classification of the goods as first class freight was correct. The decision affects prac tically all the roads in the country. SHUKERS MAY CXiOSE HOTEL. Wants Door of National at Leaven worth Locked. Leavenworth, Kan., June 26. C. D. Shukers, assistant attorney general, applied to the district court here for an order to have padlocks placed on the National hotel and four other buildings where joints are alleged to be running. The order asked for pro vides that either the buildings be pad locked or placed under the control of the sheriff. In addition, Mr. Shukers stated that the next move would be to ask for receivers to be placed in charge of all buildings where liquor is sold. A number of clubs have opened in Leavenworth of late and they will be notified that they can not sell liquor. Injunctions will be placed on every building where a club operates. Found Body of Baby in Weed Patch. Wichita, Kan., June 26. The body of an infant was found in a weed patch on North Main street. It was wrapped in a newspaper and had been dead about eighteen hours. The body was that of a white girl. The infant's body was found by Mrs. Callie Arnold, a negress, who lives at 726 North Main street. She was cut ting weeds on a lot southeast of her house, when she struck the package with her sickle. TO WORKSUNDAY Wheat Is Ripe and Must Be Har vested at Once. Central Kansas Farmers Need Hundreds of Men. WILL PAY GOOD WAGES Everybody Works in the Wheat Raising Zone. Farmers Search the Railroad Yards for Laborers. Hutchinson, Kan., June 26. There is no room for the idle man. in west ern Kansas at this time of the year. Numerous appeals have been sent into Hutchinson from farmers of this section and farther west, asking for help in the harvest fields. The season has so far advanced in some sections that the farmers are said to be in desperate straits. Work will be conducted Sunday in several localities and the farmers are anxious to secure as many hands as possible. One Hundred Men Needed at Pratt. Blaine Son of Pratt, in a tele phone message stated that one hun dred men from Hutchinson could be used Saturday or Sunday at Pratt. Twenty-five men are wanted at Haviland. J. M. Porteus, a farmer who lives near Greensburg, was in Hutchison. He made a circuit of the railroad yards where harvest hands are usual ly congregated, and offered to give employment to as many men as could be secured. He offered $2.25 a day with board and two weeks work. Big Army of Laborers Leave. About 300 men left Hutchinson down the tracks of the Santa Fe, bound for the harvest fields. The men composed a gathering of har vest hands who arrived in Hutchin son last night. After spending the night In the city they struck west. GENERAL STRIKE PROBABLE, Coal Operators to Discontinue Main tenance Assessment. Pittsburg. Kan., June 26. The mine operators of district No. 14, in their convention in this city, voted to discontinue the check-off system of as sessments for the purpose of main taining the miners of district 14 on suspensions or strikes. The action of the operators may re sult in a general strike being called in this district, and may also affect the other two districts of this territory. For the last six months the miners have been paying into the general fund the sum of 50 cents per capita per month for the purpose of assisting miners of the district in, time of trou ble. This amount for the past six months has brought into the district treasury about $4,500 a month. Out of this fund the miners of Osage county, who have been out on a strike for several months, have been allowed money for keeping their fam ilies. The district board of the United Mine Workers of America was pre sented with a copy of the resolution, and at once held a meeting to take action on the question. The officials of the board claim that the action of the operators was a direct violation of the agreement made with the miners. The executive board of the mine workers of this district has been called to Indianapolis for a meeting with the national officers. Until its return there will not be any direct action taken in regard to calling a strike. BEER FOR WICHITA JULY 5. It Is Said the Lid Will Be Lifted at That Time. Wichita, Kah., June 26. Those in a position to know say that on the fifth of next month, unless the Curtis bill should be passed in the meantime, brewery wagons will start delivering beer to those thirsty citizens of Wich ita who want it bad enough to order it from Kansas City. The Curtis bill is framed to make it illegal to ship liquor of any kind into a prohibition state, and somehow the impression is very generally conveyed that the distillers and brewers have a towline that is warranted not to break and that their pull is strong enough at Washington to make the defeat of this bill a foregone conclusion. A city official said that if the inter state commerce laws permitted liquors to be shipped into prohibition states and they were backed up by the su preme court of the United States he would have no power whatever to pre vent the delivery of anything in the drinking line to any one who ordered it sent to him from any point outside the state line. EDITORS NAME NEW OFFICERS. Ralph Faxon Heads Southwest Kan sas Association. Hutchinson, Kan., June 26. At the annual meeting of the Southwest Kansas Editorial association, com prising the Seventh and Eighth con gressional districts, the oldest asso ciation of editors in the state, the fol lowing officers were elected: R.

Kansas City Physician Says He Saw Him Buy Ticket. Kansas City, June 26. J. H. Mar cell, the Kansas bank wrecker, who recently swindled Kansas City bank ers out of $25,000 and fled, ia In Mex ico, according to a physician of this city who went with him to the Union depot and saw. him buy a ticket and board a train. This physician's name can not be used at this time. "I had known Marcell nearly a year," he says. "He came to my of fice for medical treatment. He was nervous and could not sleep well at night. We became good friends. I did not know he had been in the pen itentiary or that he was a swindler until I saw the story last Sunday. "You would never think that Mar cell was dishonest. He was most In nocent looking and soft of voice. I had great confidence in him and if I had the money I would have let him have it. As it was I came very near going to friends of mine and borrow ing $2,000 for him. "A short time before he went away Marcell brought his father here and introduced him and I liked the old man. That gave me greater confidence in MarcelL He came to me a week before he went away and asked me to lend him $2,000 on a house he said he owned in Santa Fe place. I told him I had only a few hundred dollars and he tried to get that. "Then he tried to get me to Intro duce him to some of my friends who have money and to vouch for him. I intended to do that, but one day he came into my office and told me he was going to Mexico for a rest. He showed me foreign exchange in the amount of several thousand dollars. I should judge there was $10,000 alto gether and he asked me to go to the depot with him to see him off. I went and saw him buy a ticket for Mexico. It was nearly a yard long. I went with him to the train and saw him go away. "I am satisfied that at one time Marcell. contemplated hiding in Kan sas City during the exposure of his crimes. He asked me where he could find a room to which he might retire and take the rest cure for a month or two. He said he wanted just to go to bed and stay there for a month and have no one know where he was. I think that was his first plan and that afterward he decided to go to Mexico." NEW PUMPING STATIONS.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL TTTRDAY EVENING-. JUNE 26, 1909. ilADLEYAGUEST, SXissonri GoTernbr Delivers Ad dress at Chautauqua. Believes All Problems of Gov ernment Will Be Solved. STBUGGLE HARD ONE Calls Attention, to Failure of Litigation Against Trusts.; Opening Day at Garfield Parka Pronounced Success. The crowning event of the opening day of the Chautauqua was the ad dress last evening by Governor Her bert S. Hadley before almost a capacity audience. In. introducing the speaker Governor Walter Roscoe Stubbs said: "I am proud o$ the fact that this man is a product of the state of Kansas and that when Mis souri wanted to get a good governor they were compelled to come over here to Kansas for him. He is a man of the highest type of citizenship liv ing today and he stands for the high ideals exemplified by our last presi dent. Theodore Roosevelt." The address given by Governor Hadley was an able one, and the as sembly was held in rapt attention. The subject of the discourse was "The Rules of Business and the Laws of Men," and what he said related, in a general way. to a discussion of the trust and railroad question and the efforts of the state and national governments to deal with both of these questions. He said at the beginning that he felt like apologizing for talking about subjects that had been so completely exhausted, but that he realized "that when one was expected by reason of official activities, to discuss railroads and trusts, he disappoints if he dis cusses Hamlet." He said, in part: "I realize that I would incorrectly express the feelings of the people of the state whom I have the honor to represent, as well as the feelings of the people of this state, if I could offer you nothing to day except a jeremiad as to the exist ing conditions in our public life and commercial affairs. That evils exist todav. both in our public life and commercial affairs, no one can deny, and that evils will continue to arise In the future is as sure as fate. But the spirit of pessimism never righted a wrong nor solved a problem. The optimism and hopefulness of the peo ple of this country is one of the best guarantees that we will meet and solve, and solve successfully, the different problems that arise to con front US. It would, however, be the height of folly to refuse to recognize the evidence of difficulties or of con troversies, to understand them fully and to discuss plainly the proper methods for their correction. That there exists today and has existed in the past, a conflict between the rules of business and the laws of men has been written plainly in the records of our criminal courts and in the pages of the reports of fhvestigations conducted by the r nation and the state. That this controversy will con tinue is a fact that all familiar with conditions well recognize. And that the methods adopted by the state and national governments in their en deavor to secure the benefits of competition in the world of trade have not been entirely successful, is demonstrated by the results of the prosecutions that have been in stituted by the national government and by the states against com binations and trusts. "Even where cases have been suc cessfully prosecuted against the trust bv the national government or the datf the ludement of the court has apparently been inoperative and inef fectual to secure a discontinuance of the evils complained 01. iaKe me beef trust, for example. The govern ment brought a civil suit in Chicago tn riiKnivR it. The United States cir cuit court overruled the demurer of the packing companies-ana entered a Inrie-ment dissolving and enjoining the combination alleged to exist among the defendants. The heel trust ap pealed to the supreme court of the United States which, in turn, affirmed the Judgement of the lower court. But -ht came of it? The beef trust still exisits with power to fix the price of cattle to the -producer ana me price of beef to the consumer. The Northern Securities Case. "The Northern Securities case will likewise serve as an example. That was also a battle with no casualties. The consolidation of the Great wortn em. the Northern Pacific and the Bur lington in the form of a holding com nanv. the Northern Securities com pany, was declared unlawful by the supreme court of the United States, and -et the consolidation still exists in another form and no lesson was ap parently learned bv our captains of in dustry from the decision. They still continue to buy up one railroad with the earnings or the proceeds from the sale of bonds of another, without reference to the question as to wheth er it Is a connecting or competing line The experience has been the same with other trusts. It was announced abou. two years ago, with quite a dis play of satisfaction, that the national government had secured an important decision from the supreme court of the United States against the paper trust and the tobacco trust. But it is to be noted that the price of paper has not declined and the newspapers are lust as anxious as ever for the repeal of the tariff on wood pulp. The tobacco trust. In one form or other, seems to he still in control of the situation, and the complaints of the tobacco growers of the south have not decreased either in number or in intensity. The efforts of the states have been equally iner fective. In 1890, Ohio dissolved the Standard Oil trust. But the nine trus tees who controlled that trust simply became nine directors in a New Jersey corporation and the trust continued. Texas ousted the Standard Oil com pany some ten years later, but the company got a new charter between two days and continued business with out so much as discharging an em ploye or changing the signs of its business. And all the time the price of refined oil continued to advance to the consumer, and the price of petro leum to decline to the producer. The state of New York successfully prose. euted a suit resulting in a classic de cision against the sugar trust. But no one has been so optimistic as to con tend that the existence and operation of the sugar trust has been seriously Impaired. Convicting tlie Trusts. "In Missouri, the courts convicted the Insurance Trust and the Beef Trust and imposed fines. But neither combination changed Its plan of or ganization oc lowered the price of that which it sold. And during my term as attorney general of the state of Missouri, I considered it necessary and advisable to agree with the insur ance companies of the state for a re adjustment and a lowering of ratea rather than to proceed against them under the provisions of our antitrust law. "So far as actual, concrete results are concerned, twenty years of trust busting by the national government and the several states have largely resulted In a water-haul. The results accomplished have been in the in verse ratio to the efforts and labor exerted. Legal ingenuity and the technicalities of delay have defeated many prosecutions, and the effect of those which have apparently succeed ed has been avoided by legal tricks and devices. Both the national and the state governments in their war on trusts should adopt the suggestion made by General Taylor to Captain Bragg at the Battle of Buena Vista when he said, 'A little more grape and canister, please,' or recognize the inevitable tendency to combination m modern industrial affairs and substi tute regulation and supervision for punishment and suppression. I do not mean to say that the ef forts on the part of the national gov ernment and of the several states to punish and to prevent the evils of monopoly have been a complete fail ure. The conditions are doubtless much better than they would have been had these combinations and trusts been allowed to continue with out legal let or hinderAnce. The point that I undertake to urge upon you is that the present methods of procedure tor the correction of the evils of mon opoly are inadequate and ineffective. it is well that we should recognize this fact and proceed to deal intelli gently and vigorously with the situa tion. Delays of Litigation. "That we have not secured a better adjustment of this controversy be tween the rules of business "and the laws of men, and that it still remains one of the unsolved problems of our national life, is due, to a large ex tent, to the fact that our present sys tem of jurisprudence is archaic. In isolated instances Judges have ren dered unfair and dishonest decisions protecting special interests against the efforts of the public to se cure fair treatment. But, as a rule, our judges have been both high-minded and honest. The fault Is more with the system than with the men who administer it. Our system of lawsuits has become like a series of fencing matches between skilled performers. Our practice of the law results in the apotheosis of the technicality. This makes our trial Judges timid and our appellate Judges hyper-technical, and the defendants profit by both condi tions. All litigation moves slowly. but public litigation, or litigation to correct evils or abuses; moves slower still. The interests involved are large ana the ablest lawyers are Secured. and our profession has learned well how to use the technicalities that de lay and defeat. The eminent counsel has been the scout who has led the forces of organized wealth In this contest with the people, and he has chosen his positions ably. Organized wealth has shown itself tenacious of its power and determined to retain the privileges which it has enjoyed. Our system of criminal jurisprudence has almost broken down of its own weight. We still retain those forms and precedents which were devised in an age of tyranny and oppression to protect the innoceht. They are used today principally to protect the guilty. These technicalities are the shield that those who would plunder the people use for their own protec tion, and the frequency with which they are recognized by the courts, without regard to the merits of the controversy, emphasizes the necessity of the national and state governments enacting a law to the effect that no judgment in a criminal or a civil case should be reversed unless .the court can affirmatively say upon the entire record that the Judgment was for the wrong party, and that but for the er ror complained of, a different judg ment would have been rendered. Hopes for Happy Medium. "The American people like to feel that our commerc3 Is great and successful but they demand that it be honest. Commerce is a paramount factor tow ards building up nations, England has become the clearing house of all the vorld by her trade and commerce. I would not be indifferent or unfair to cur Industries. Over one-half of the business Arms cf today are conducted contrary to the law or are evading the law. This fact is due largely to the advice given these firms by their law yers, who tell them how they may con duct an unlawful business without be ing prosecuted for it. It is in direct violation of the oath they have taken, and when the lawyer so advises he be comes as guilty of a crime as those he advises. "I do not- believe that our commercial business will be. overthrown but the so lution will .be a happy medium between efforts at suppression and efforts at reaulation. The laws of the nation and state should be those obeyed by the rich and powerrul as wen as the weak. Ihere should be the creation of public sentiment which will demand that off! clalr vigorously enforce the laws until the rights of the poor are recognized as well as those of the rich. Chautauqua a Success. The success of the Chautauqua is as sured. The fact that the gate receipts for the optning afternoon surpassed by the margin of one dollar the afternoon record at previous Chautauquas is in dicative of large attendances for the coming events. Henry W. McAfee, acting president of the Chautauqua association, during the afternoon session welcomed the vial tors. He said: "The people of Kansas who are here bave come into their own In coming to Topeka. it is tnsirs in a two-fold sense. They look to It as a point of govern mental direction. They also look to it as a place to spend some of their money. "To all in this presence we extend a cordial welcome. We know that no city cn earth lias ever reacned perfection. Everywhere and evermore the largest room there is in a. town is the room for improvement. "But to our town as it is, in the name of its people, who wish to see it r ade better, we tender to all people of Kansas and all from outside in this presence a cordial welcome." Crosby Brothers' Learn the Answer. The Crosby Bros. Company's adver tisement in Thursday's State Journal Included the following item in the same size type as it appears here. "If every woman in Topeka knew mat we were going to sell dainty lawn kimonas for a dime tomorrow, how long would fifteen dozen of them last?" The Crosby Bros. Co. received the answer to their query Friday morning when 180 kimonas were sold to as many customers in just 45 minutes. A kimona examined and approved by the customer, paid for, wrapped up and handed to the purchaser every 15 seconds. The advertisement was inserted .only in the State Journal. The moral is. that the merchant who would reach "every woman in To peka" must use the advertising col umns of the State Journal. "THE TAFT PLAN."

Local collectors will transmit the returns forthwith to the commissioner of internal revenue in Washington. Improper Returns. Upon evidence justifying the opinion that the return made by a corporation is incorrect, or whenever insufficient or no return has been made, the com missioner is empowered to designate any regularly appointed revenue agent to examine the books or papers of such corporation and take testimony of a responsible officer of the corpora tion in order to produce tne informa tion required for the purpose of as sessing the tax. The commissioner is authorized also to invoke the aid of any United States court to require the attendance of such officers or em ployes and the production of books and papers. Upon the information so acquired the commissioner of internal revenue may amend any return or make a return where none has been made. Returns are to be retained by the commissioner who will assess the tax. In the event of any return being made with false or fraudulent intent the commissioner is required to add 100 per cent of such tax and in cases Of neglect or refusal to make return, or to verify the same, the commissioner is to add BO per cent to the tax. When the neglect is occasioned by sickness or the absence of a responsible officer of the corporation subject to the tax, the collector is allowed to extend the time not exceeding thirty days. As sessment made by the commissioner must be paid by the corporation be fore June 30 of each year. After assessments have been made the returns on corporations must be filed in the office of the commissioner of internal revenue and they will then constitute public records and as such will be opened for inspection. For the protection of a corporation against the wrongful use of information the fol lowing is provided: "It shall be unlawful for any Collec tor, deputv collector, agent, clerk or Other officer or employe of the United States to divulge or make known in any manner whatever not provided by law to any person any information obtained by him in the discharge of his official duty or to divulge or make known in any manned not provided by law any document received, evidence taken or report made under the sec ond section except upon the special direction of the president; and any offense against -the foregoing pro vision shall be a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, at the discretion of the court." If any corporation subject to the tax refuses or neglects to make a return In the manner required or shall make a false or fraudulent return it is liable to a penalty of not less than $1,000 and not exceeding $10,000. When any person authorized by law to make or to verify a return shall make a false or fraudulent statement for the pur pose of evading the assessment, he be comes liable to fine not exceeding $1,000 or a prison sentence of not more than one year or both.

Some idea of the quantity of ma terial used by the postal service may be. gained when it is stated that dur ing last year the division furnished 925,000,000 yards of twine, 3,260,000 pens, 283,000 penholders, 650,000 pen cils, and 2.600,000 blank cards. To wrap the bundles 5.400,000 sheets of wrapping paper were used. Blank forms are furnished by the millions. Of the form "Application for Domes-.tie- Money Order," which is seen in the lobby of every postoffice, there were 161,770,000 used last year, and during the same period 69,034 rub ber stamps were manufactured and supplied to postoffices. National Magazine. BETTER ALL THE TIME. Improvement in Business Is Noted AH Along the Line. New ,York, June 26. Bradstreet's says: Improvement is more manifest this week, the main spring of this being better weather and crop reports and further expansion in the volume of industrial operations. Retail reports are still rather irregular, excessive heat being credited with retarding distribution in some sections, but on the whole sales of summer goods have been benefited by more season able temperatures. The industries led by iron and steel show expansion of operation, larger output, some wage advances, and more confidence is expressed than at any preceding time since the de pression began. The situation in leather trades is one of great strength, based ap parently upon the scarcity of hides. Shoe shipments continue to expand and are 24 per cent larger than a year ago in the east. St. Louis ship ments are, however, slightly behind a year ago, though manufacturers ex pect to catch up. Shoe manufac turers as a whole are doing a fair business, but indications are yet of not more than an average year's trade. Business failures In the United States for the week ending with June 24. were 225 against 218 last week, 25 in the like week of 1908, 150 in 1907. 146 in 1906 ,and 186 in 1905.

One of the business industries of Wa-Keeney, recently established, is the Gasoline Power Machine company, organized with- a capital of $10,000 for the pur pose of manufacturing gasoline trac tion engines. The company has not less than 15 engines ready to turn out, besides orders are coming in for more. The work already done is giving the best satisfaction, and the demand has been greater than the company has been able to supply. The repair department is giving employment to several skilled workman. The officers, directors and stockholflers are well known citizens and business men of Wa-Keeney. Dr. A. B. Jones, former member of the leg islature from Trego county, is presi dent; C. L.

T. T. Crittenden. Jr., Claims He Is Damaged to Extent ot $150,000. Kansas City, June 26. Suits have been filed jointly in the circuit court at Independence by Thomas T. Crit tenden, jr., mayor of Kansas City, against William R. Nelson, publisher of the Kansas City Star, and Norman B. Greer, a live stock commission mer chant, at the stock yards, charging libel. The mayor asks $50,000 actual and $100,000 punitive damages. The complaint is based on a com munication signed by Greer and print ed in the Times, the morning edition of the Star, June 23, in which the ad ministration of Mayor Crittenden was likened to past administration of the municipal affairs of San Francisco, and by indirection intimated that money was to be used at the city hall in promoting the passage of the ordi nance creating a new division of the profits of the Metropolitan Street Rail way company and the city. LINDSAY IS ENJOINED. Must Not Keep Insane Persons at His Hospital. Judge A. W. Dana in district court this morning gave his ruling in the Dr. Lindsay injunction case, and it was considered a victory for the prosecu tion. The court granted a permanent injunction against Dr. W. S. Lindsay, forbidding him to keep or harbor in sane persons at his private hospital, maintained in the Christ's hospital cottages, on the hospital grounds. It has been maintained by the defense throughout the hearing that Dr. Lind say did not take insane patients for treatment, and several patients who exhibited symptoms of insanity after being received at the hospital, were disposed of at once by insanity pro ceedings and removed to the state asylum. Therefore, as the court did not hold positively that the evidence disapproved Dr. Lindsay's contention, the verdict is not a reflection on Dn Lindsay. The prosecution got what it wanted the injunction-and if Dr, Lindsay did not keep insane patients, the injunction has in no way inter fered with his business. When it comes to drawing the fine line be tween nervous disorders and insanity, Dr. Lindsay has a shade the best Of it. He has been recognized by all of the courts as one of the leading experts of this city on the subject of insanity and mental and nervous disorders, and on many occasions has been called as an expert witness. Therefore, if he says a patient is not insane, where will the prosecution find evidence that he has violated the injunction? Although the prosecution, which comes from a number of residents of the locality adjacent to the hospital, is satisfied with the verdict, as indi viduals they do not intend to let up on their espionage of Dr. Lindsay's hos pital. Some of them reported to the attorneys in the prosecution. Ferry, Doran and Magaw, this morning, that a woman was even now trying to escape from one of the cottages, and making outcries which could be heard all over the block. PRESCRIBES BY WIRELESS.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 26, 1909. mm MARSHALL'S BAND TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING Moving PicturesNew Subjects SEE THE NEW ATTRACTIONS Don't Forget Celebration Daylight NORTH SIDE NEWS ft First Arrest for Violating Kan sas Prohibitory Law. J. H. Foucht Tells of Affair and Trial. BLAMED FOK ARREST. Saloon Men Tried to Force Hiui to Leave. Union Church Services at Gar field Park Tomorrow. In speaking about tho prohibition qutstion this mornlns J. H. Foucht told about the first arrest and tria; of a man for selling intoxicating liquor In Kansas. Mr. Foucht also described how ths saloon men tried to force him to leave town because they suspected that he was responsible for the arrest. "It was In July or August of 1881, just after the prohibition law went into ef fect," said Mr. Foucht. "A John Bower conducted a saloon on the west side of North Kansas avenue, between the bridge and the railroad. My store was across the street from the saloon then. "'A member of the Methodist church, whoso name I forget, secured the evi dence and Bower was arrested on a warrant sworn, out by a Mr. Dunlap who was justice of the peace for the First ward at that time. "The saloon men thought I was re sponsible for the affair, although I had nothing to do with it. However, I had Krved on the legislature which had passed th prohibition law and had voted for the measure. "Because of their misunderstanding the liquor forces met and passed a resolution asking me to move to Mis souri. A Rube Jones was sent to me ti deliver the message. I replied by loading a revolver and saying that the first man who tried to interfere with my bu.sine.ss would be shot. Jones told the saloon people what I" had said. He believed I meant it and told the men that I would fight if I was pressed. "The Bovver trial was hotly contest fd and for a time it looked as though there was going to be real trouble. A little Congregational minister named S. P. Dunlap. and a Methodist minister named Lawrence, led the prohibition fGrces. The liquor element threatened tc throw them out of the hall on the North sidt where the trial was held but we stood by them and they were not harmed. "A Mr. Vance was the prosecuting attorney now living in Oklahoma City, I think. Through him. Bower was con victed and if I remember correctly, w as given a fine of $100 and a 30 days' jail sentence."

A North side young couple swung too violently in a hammock yesterday evening and the hammock broke down It is reported that the girl's wrist as well as her heart was broken. The ac cident wouldn't have happened if the hammock had been purchased at Clime Son's hardware store, at 907 North Kansas avenue. Said a visitor at the Chautauqua 1 -M' "'Ml' mm I gpiPtllll i ll ,'m .1 hjh July FireworksSomething New today: "Garfield park Is easily the most picturesque, most natural, most rest ful place In the city. The trouble with many of the so-called natural parks of today is their objective artificial nature one Is reminded everywhere that he Is still within the sound of the "bark" of the sideshow spieler, and "Keep off the Grass" sign3 meet one at every turn. But this is not the case with the old park out by Soldier creek everything Is as natural as nature could make It, and the harsh grind of the merry-go-round or the barks of the sideshow barkers never penetrates the cool stillness here. In all the years of the old park's changeful existence, it never wore a more pleasant smile of greeting than at the present. The creek has been straightened and trimmed up, the grass is at Its best, and the old oaks and cottonwoods grander and more stately than ever. It is no wonder then that the Chau tauqua association chose this place as the most fitting ror tne annual ten days' meeting, commencing next Fri day. Already many people have en gaged their tents of the association, and will pass the best ten days of the whole summer, out or me Dounas oi the heat and dust of the city, and still at the smallest outlay or ex pense."

PROF. LANE'S READING His Shakespeare Numbers Open ed Today. Prograni for Tonight Is a Good One. The sessions' today again proved a great success at the Chautauqua, both in respect to attendance and the nat ure of the lectures and entertainments. Prof. John E. Cameron organized his 9 o'clock study hour class for mothers. teachers, and children. The subject of his remarks this morning was such as to create sufficient enthusiasm among the youngsters to induce them to flock around him after the study hour and ask him all manner of questions. Prof. Cameron talked in a most entertaining manner on birds and their life history, Illustrating with some stuffed speci mens. This course bids fair to becom ing extremely popular. Professor John E. Cameron, Who Com menced Today a series of Interest ing Lectures on Nature Subjects. Prof. Cameron was the chief speak er of the afternoon and drew a large audience, which was not only com posed of those who make a business of tilling the soil, but also of many of the town's people. In Shawnee county there are boys' corn growing club3 which have an aggregate membership of about 300 youngsters. The members of these organizations who attend the lecture were particularly Interested on account of the fact that they are grow ing corn for exhibit at the coming statt wide fair to be held September 13 to 18. The subject under consideration was "The Germinating of Seeds and Plant Breeding." The speaker illustrated his points bv a big chart attached to which were enlarged photographs which could be seen with ease at the far end of the casino, and a germinating box for ex periment was produced on the platform for further explanation. The necessity of seed testing and selection in order to produce the most effective results was strongly emphasized. The germ is the most nutritive part of a grain of corn and it is desirable to select ears of corn for planting which show the best developed germs. Tests have been made under the same conditions, which consisted of the planting in individual rows different ears of the same varie ties of corn. The fact that some ears represent more growing strength than others was proven, the yield varying from the rate of 80 bushels an acre down to 38 bushels. Professor F. H. Lane of' Washburn, Shakesperian Autnority. This morning Prof. F. H. Lane be ran his series of readings from Shakespeare, the morning tooic being "King John: The Dawn of English Pa triotism. Prof. Lane's reading was well attend ed considering the fact that it came during the morning session. He has a pleasing manner which delighted his hearers "Tallow Dips" by Robert Parker Miles, and the domestic science hour with demonstrations by Miss Morton and Miss Fleming were among the events of the afternoon session. The programme this evening will be an excellent one. Gilbert Eldridge who so successfully entertained his audience yesterday afternoon. will give a second performance. He will impersonate David Harum, Shylock and Enoch Arden, thus bringing in humorous, dramatic and pathetic ele ments. Impersonations of a lighter order will be sandwiched in. At the close of this entertainment Prof. John E Cameron will spend about 20 mm tit in showing some of his delight ful slides made from photographs of insects, trees, flowers and birds.

Smith Pleads With Farmers to Ask $1.10. To the Editor of the State Journal: The paramount and all absorbing question at present is: How much wheat will be raised in the state and wnat to do with it after it is raised. There seems to be quite an extended speculation on the wheat problem. There are distinctly two sides to this question, in the reading the papers I find the farmers and speculators are heralding the glad tidings of an en ormous crop. Some unacquainted with the true crop conditions estimate from 85,000,000 to 100,000,000 bush els for Kansas, while men who have made it a study for years place the yield at about 65,000,000. The farmer stands in hia own light when he over estimates his crop, because that tends to lower prices being offered for his grain. The farmer has been at the mercy of the speculator about long enough tne iarmer farms the wheat, the speculator farms the farmer. Now, Mr. Farmer, I will tell you what to do to avoid tho much wheat being ship- pea out of the country. To avoid corners on wheat, to avoid extorting prices sucn as we had a month ago. To avoid taking a low price for your wheat and allowing the other fellows to get the exorbitant price, to avoid paying 40 per cent more for your flour than the corresponding price obtained for your wheat last July. ask ti.io ror your wheat and do not take one cent less, this price is not prohibitive and it will stop the rapid ups and downs! why does wheat fluctuate 30c in one month? Because you have sold out at a low price and have none to bring in at the high price. I saw In the State Journal where the Salina millers are figuring on your wheat at 95c a bush el, if you will ask 1.10 per bushel. for your wheat I will guarantee they won t buy it at 95o and you will get your price; if you go to the sugar shop you will either pay their price or go home sour the banks have more money now than ever before, but you can't borrow at any less interest, why can't you ask $1.10 for your wheat as well-as to ask $110.00 for your horse? Every one of you have an empty granary at present, put your wneat in your empty bins it won't cost you any board bill if you can t sit still for thirty days go on visit when you get back you can sell your wheat at $1.10. But do not over do the price, the winter wheat crop is short, hold your wheat for $1.10 per bushel. J. R. SMITH. Ministers Meet. The northeast Kansas conference ministerial association of the United Brethren in Christ church has just closed a most interesting session at Corning. The papers and lectures were of high grade and the discussion that followed each paper showed that the topics were of great interest to those present. Bishop William M. Weekley of Kansas City was present and preached one evening. Campbell college, located at Holton, was repre sented by its president, Rev. T. D. Crties. The association expressed its approval of the plant to merge the two north Kansas conferences into one. Rev. M. L. Roby was re-elected presi dent ot the association. The selection of the place of holding the next meet ing was left to the executive commlt- I tea. 1 lii BIG PIGEON RACE. Over Two Hundred Birds to Leave Topeka for Milwaukee. Two hundred and seven Homing pigeons, 18S from Milwaukee and 19 from Racine, property of the con testants for the trophies of the Mil waukee district International Federa tion American Homing Pigeon Fan ciers, arrived in their baskets at the Santa Fe depot last night in charge of Josiah De Gelleke, train baggage mas ter of Milwaukee to be started by him In the 600 mile race home the first morning the weather at 4 o'clock jus tifies. The start was to have been made this morning but cjouds interfered and the birds will be held until a suitable morn ing. "We have to start them as early as 4 o'clock if possible in order that they can make the distance In one day," said Mr. De Gelleke. "Last year the best time was 11 hours, 24 minutes, 6 seconds, but some birds did not get in until well along the next day. From an hour after sundown until, an hour before sunrise is counted dead time in the race for the Homers do not fly at night and will not start until good clear day. So we try to get them off early enough to let them make the dis tance in one flying day." The trophies for the race are a time silver cup, an average speed silver cup and an average speed blue ribbon from the national organization. Ten diplomas are granted to the first ten arrivals. "I hope to be able to start the birds in the morning, said Mr. De Gelleke, "for it takes a deal of care to handle 11 baskets of the Homers and keep them in condition. Formerly we let the rail road men handle them but began to distrust that water was spilled around in the baskets and dripping through the piled up crates ruffled and dampen ed the lower prisoners, unfitting them for the long flight, so we have begun sending men with the starters and I can testify that keeping the birds out of the sun, feeding and watering them takes all my time." The pigeons will be started in the vacant lawn east of the passenger shops. It would be a very pretty spec tacle for some eariy riser to watch. JUDGE RYAN IS HERE.

Says Sentiment on McNeal and An thony Is Evenly Divided. i Judge S. L. Ryan, of Brown county. member of the last legislature, was in the city today on business and when asked about the status of the con gressional fight in his county, replied that he thought that sentiment was pretty evenly divided as between An thony and McNeal. The judge declared that the square deal sentiment in his county, .strong two years ago, had grown to even greater proportions in the interval. The judge was of the opinion that McNeal's declaration as regards this country disposing of the Philippines was putting it rather strong and that the young men of his county did not take kindly to that plank in the Me. Neal platform. As for the Ewing Herbert boom for congress, the judge did not launch nor inflate it by word or hint. BACK FROM LEAVENWORTH. State Tax Commissioners Are Looking Over the Valuation. The state tax commission has re turned from Leavenworth where they have heen the past couple of days in connection with the Leavenworth city assessment for taxable purposes. The tax list as turned In by the assessors of that city was less than that of last year and the commission went over there to find out where the shortage was located. Last year Leavenworth turned in a valuation of $5,800,000 and it was boost ed by the commission to $6,220,000. This year the city turned in an assessment of $5,271,955. This is a decrease of about a million, and while the commission have not yet finished their work in connection with the1 case they will hoist the assessment materially. According to the county clerk s tax rolls only 1,630 persons are listed as tax payers in the city. Now Leaven worth claims about 25,000 population, so it can be seen that a good many hun dred tax payers were overlooked in making up the tax rolls. Rubber Plant Burns. Trenton, N. J., June 26.

Charlie Henningson, an Orphan, Tries to Pass Checks. The Boy Is But Fourteen Years of Age. VIIAD POOR SUCCESS Check So Bunglingly Made It "Was Refused. Accordingly, Forger Is Headed for Reform School. An attempt -was made today to give Topeka merchants another 6lege of forged checks by a mere lad of 14 .years -who began his operations with 1 a pocket fall of German-American State bank's checks written in a child iish hand. Charlie Henningson, the boy forger, was caught by Patrolman Eng- I land shortly after he started business end Is now la charge of Juvenile Officer i Lucas to be tried In the Juvenile court Monday morning. At the police station the little fellow r poke of the checks with the calmness of an old-timer. Dressed In a good knee ;pant suit and soft hat, the lad an swered all Questions without the elight- t-at hesitancy and seemed an exception ally bright boy. He Is an orphan and does not know where he came from or who his parents were. He has been In Kansas over four year3 In charge of the Hev. o. s. Morrow, superintendent of the Home less Children's society and during that t.'me has been In the homes of five dif ferent families over the state, never making good. Recently he says he has been living with BenJ. C. Unruhe on a farm near Pawnee Rock In Barton county. The last place and where he has been content has been with the Garrett family about 12 miles south Tjit of Topeka. The incer-live for his forgery was fur nished him, he says, by a small iboy friend, Harry Teeters, who lives with the Jordan family neighbors of the Gar retts. Teeters had told the boy of having passed many checks which he had made himself, told of the ease with which one could get rich, and explained just how to go about the business. Alter that the larm was no gooa piace in Charlie's eyes and last evening he walk ed to Topeka without making any ar rangements as to his return, firmly believing that he was on the road to fortune. At the feed yard on Quincy street last evening ha met and talked to the son of John McGivern, blacksmith at 628 Quincy. The boy wandered over to the shop and It was In the office there that Henningson saw his chance to lay in a supply of blank checks and also he decided upon the first name to use that of the blacksmith whom he had always heard called Jack McGivern. The first check which the boy at tempted to pass and which caused hia arrest was made out for $4 payable to himself and signed with the name Jack Givern, the boy either not knowing how to use the "Ma" or nev er having heard it. After spending the night in the feed yard in a pile of hay Charlie had written two checks, one for $4 and one for $8. He then proceeded to the pawn shop of Robert Moody at 112 Kansas avenue. There he drew out one for $4 and asked that it be cashed. The little check and the infantile-handwriting would not stand the scrutiny and a big blue coat was called in. The goods purchased by Dolman, King and company during their forgery were returned to the merchants this morning. Nothing of much value was in the lot; graphaphono records from Harding's bicycle shop, handkerchiefs and socks from the Cash Bargain, hair brushes from Waggoner's, and such. A detective will today visit- the places where the checks were passed, learn the value of articles purchased and the amount of the check passed there. De ductions will then be made ascertain ing the actual loss and the $52.95 which the men had will be prorated back to merchants. A ban on pool halls as wrong places for paroled prisoners from the reform atory to hang around Is established by Parole Officer Crawford who was look ing up some of his paroled charges this morning. The officer made a personal investi gation, of the Vaughn and Alva hall in the basement of the colored Masonic building, but returning to the station paid: "I could see nothing there out of the ordinary though of course I do not know what is on the side." One of the officer's "boys" was portering at the place and he wanted to know if the reports were correct as to the fitness of the position for the reformation of the young man.

In the sen ate today Senator Davis of Arkansas speaking in opposition to the pending tariff bill found general fault with the measure. Contending that the Republican party had failed to keep Its promise to lower the tariff, he said if that party had possessed the manhood to state boldlv that it intended to increase the tariff, the places that know them to day would have known them no longer forever,- and they would have been a hiss and a byword in the land, their destruction inevitable. He continued: "They are turning their faces in hopefulness and glad acclaim to the great middle west, where a small cloud has arisen, which is gathering in strength and volume, led on by the insurgent Republican forces in this body, that assures the downfall and destruction of the bour bon element." Declaring that the tariff bill is virtually the product of Senator Aid rich and asserting that Mr. Aldrich had been elected to the senate by a legislature chosen by 11 per cent of the votes of the small state of Rhode Island, Mr. Davis contended that the senatorial supporters of the bill had shown great subserviency to Mr. Aid rich. Indirectly, Mr. Davis criticised Democrats who had declared their lack of allegiance to the Democratic platform, which, he said, he was wil ling to "swallow from kfver to kiver." Mr. Davis defended Mr. Bryan as the reputed author of the Democratic platform. Even though Mr. Bryan I might not be president, Mr. Davis ex pressed the hope that he would "nev er circumscribe the field of his use fulness, the field of his eternal great ness, by accepting a seat in the senate of the United States. "The field is too small," said Sena Protection from possible loss or ruin to your deposit in our Bank is secured by the strong arm of the iiaraimfee Of the State of Kansas The Law Goes Into Effect July 1st Is Fire Works Store Torpedos Grasshoppers Rockets, Exhibition and Common, 20 Different Sizes Volcano Snakes Magic Serpents Buster Buttons Radium Sizzers Shooting Matches Fire Works are the tor Davis.

T. will hold a special meeting at the A. O. U. W. hall on West Sixth avenue tonight. Rev. J. T. Crouch of Maple Hill will preach at the First Congrega tional church tomorrow morning. Chief Eaton announces that all the ordinances relating to the fireworks on the Fourth--of July will be strictly enforced. Whirligigs seem to be all the go. The stores are now selling them at 5 cents per. The best way to do is to climb a trolley pole. The city council met in the coun cil chamber at the city hall this af ternoon and cleaned up considerable left over routine business. The commission form of govern ment is the main topic for discussion In Topeka in spite of the fact that the weather is hot and close. The city clerk has issued so many automobile licenses that the numbers have been exhausted and none can be issued for a number of days. Secretary of State Denton is a man who is credited with excellent busi ness judgment but he was never known to win a bet at a ball game. An appeal for 2,000 harvest hands has reached this city from Larned. There doesn't seem to be the usual rush west of harvest hands this year. W. G. Buck, superintendent of mo tive power on the Santa Fe, left for his home in Chicago last night after having been in the city for several days. C. M.

A fire last night at 10:47 o'clock destroyed a little shed owned by C. T. Sedan at 1035 Monroe. The shed was in flames before the alarm was turned in. Damage 1 35 The, merchants have nearly all re turned to their homes, after the three days in Topeka which they found the best entertainment Topeka ever af forded a bunch of visitors. Judge Pollock has allowed $1,600 to Judge Hazen as special master in the Leavenworth and Topeka railroad rate case and $384.75 to C. D. Well- man for stenographic work in the same case. There will be a reception at the sunset hour tonight for all the wo men on the Chautauqua grounds. It will be held at the headquarters tent ot the Federation of Women's clubs. They have a new nozzle at the fire department headquarters that will spread a stream of water 35 feet in diameter. It will be used for inside purposes and is adapted to a blazing room or basement. Practically all of the visiting mer chants have left for their homes with the parting declaration that they had the best time of their lives; But they did not enjoy themselves any more than their hosts at that. Prof. John E. Cameron, who takes charge of the nature study department at the Chautauqua, has recently been offered a position at the State Agri cultural college, Manhattan. He did not accept the offer. Governor Stubbs and Governor Hadley ate a meal at the Topeka club and Myra McHenry, who came back to Topeka to investigate, has it all figured out. She will spring the "facts" on the public at a street meet ing tonight. Isn't it awful? Fifty-one dealers have applied to Chief Wilmarth for permits to sell fireworks. One stock amounts to $175 and another $2,000. When a dealar has explosives other than torpedoes and small firecrackers he must apply to the fire marshal for a permit to sell them. The top timbers on the railing around the excavation work, Fifth and Kansas avenue, were freshly painted this morning and no sign whatever was used to warn the public. As a result several people ruined their clothes. This is a case of inexcusable carelessness by the contractors. Chief Wilmarth has made a rule prohibiting smoking in the fireworks departments of local stores. He also says that no fireworks shall be touch ed off in the stores and thrown out of doors. "One of the meanest fires to fight is a store full of fireworks," said the watchful chief this afternoon. The Bible institute at Washburn closed last night with addresses by Dr. Frank K. Sanders and Prof. H. I. Wood. The attendance during the sessions was not as large as the na ture of the program deserved. Those who took advantage of the course ex press a desire that a similar Institute be held next year. Judge Pollock of the federal court has opened court for a few days In order to clear up a litte business of minor importance congested at the local offices. He will approve the ("quarterly and semi-annual accounts and then return to Kansas City. Judge Pollock leaves July 3 for a vacation trip to Canada. Postmaster A. K. Rodgers says if people will send to the local office the names of those they can trust the registered mail can be delivered much quicker. The way It is now a mail carrier has to hunt around and find the addressee in person. This sometimes takes many days and causes the customers trouble as well as the postoffice employes. A Topeka man drank half a bottle of pop at the ball game yesterday be fore he found that it contained a large Juicy fly which had evidently been dead many moons. He sent it back to the dispenser instead of Dr. Crumbine and the man said:. "Sorry I can't do anything for you as you drank part of it." There ought to be a pure food inspector detailed at the ball games. CAN YOU DRIVE AN AUTO? Board of IJxaniiners Will Try to Find Out on Monday.

PRODUCTS OF TOPEKA FACTORIES HAVE WIDE DISTRIBUTION Topeka People Use Home Products Because They Are the Best, But the Merit of Topeka Made Goods Is Known In the East and West.. The products of Topeka factories which, perhaps, have the widest dis tribution are flour, butter, meat prod ucts and the products of the Otto Kuehne Preserving works. It would seem that Topeka people use a great deal of flour, yet the flour sold in Topeki by Topeka mills is too small a per cent of the total output of these mills to be estimated. To peka made flour, unlike other prod ucts manufactured here, has its mar ket in the east. There is not one state east of Kansas which Is not a user of Topeka made flour.- Likewise the butter used in Topeka is only a "drop in the bucket" in comparison to the total amount manufactured here. The south and the southwest is the market place of Topeka made butter. At times, however, very large quantities of it are shipped to foreign countries. Topeka people are meat eaters and they use the home product, yet only about 20 per cent of the products of the Wolff Packing company are con sumed at home. Wolffs meat prod ucts find thier way into every part of the United States and some are ex ported. About 10 per cent -of the products of the Kuehne Preserving works are used at home. The market for their goods Is mainly Kansas and the neighboring states. -Another large class of products which have wide distribution away from home is building materials. A large part of the structural iron work of the state Is turned out here, sev eral large plants being occupied in this business. Large quantities of high grade limstone are shipped into To peka and shipped out as cut stone for the construction of buildings over Kansas and other states. The output of Topeka's planing mills is enormous and is in demand over the entire state. However, the attention of the pro moters of the different Topeka indus tries to the outside field does not cause them to neglect the one at home. Topeka made products are pushed at home by thier manufactur ers and are used by Topeka people on account of superior merit. One of our newest factories and one of our livest factories in Topeka is the Road Supply and Metal works. The Ingot iron culvert manufactured by them is relatively new, but it Is the neatest, most durable and effective culvert that has yet been made. Some Topeka road crossings might be Im proved by their use. All up-to-dae modern farmers are ecuipping thier places with automatic gates. These gates can be opened and closed without leaving the vehicle one is riding in. One of the best of these gates was 'invented and is manufac tured in Topeka by the Adams Adams Gate Co. Inventors in Topeka need not fail on account of lack of facilities to put their plans Into execution. There are several foundries here and one, the Kelson Manufacturing Co., makes a specialty of putting Into execution in ventor's Ideas. THAT'S ALL But that's enough when it's the Best.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 26, 1909. I -"'i n-i. nil ii'l'i -niin I I I li mm 1 'rmmmmtmmmmm It now develops that James Monroe Miller, member of congress, Is Just fin irhing up a three weeks' campaign In the Fourth district. He moved about tmong the voters with as little noise as neat-foot oil In a ball bearing axle. No brass bands or torch light proces sions for James Monroe. He wanted to find out how his people felt about tariff revision before he voted on the report of the conference committees of the na t'onal house and senate. Congressman Miller had finished his campaign before the press of the state knew he was In Kansas, and those Fourth district square deaiers, Dolley and Jackson, have cn:y just heard of the return of Ulysses to Ithaca. The square dealers will oppose Miller s renomination and hope to beat him on his record in the tariff revision session. Either Dolley. Jackson or ex-Governor Hoch will be drafted to make the race. It sounds funny, but if you ask a Stubbs square dealer at the state house who he wants to see enter the race against Miller he will reply "Hoch der Hoch" every time, but Miller has his ear to the grass roots and it will be no easy matter to defeat, him; Ralph Faxon has finally reached a point where he cannot get out an issue of the Garden City Telegram without trking a shot at the Dome man for the State Journal. Ralph thinks that the Dome man is too partial to Stubbs and Dolley The wit and satire of the bril liant Gaxden City journalist overwhelms this department, but when not satisfied with comments on our acts and works, he assails our name (his exact words 1'ting: "Djn't it beat all what a name that fellow has then we enter the ring. What right has a man by the name of Faxon to speak slightingly of any name that was ever brewed? Let ns investigate this name, Faxon. The first syllable was derived from the Latin Faex," which is to say, "dregs." The last syllable is used by the French to designate "nothing." Thus by the process of practical deduction one flnas that the word "Faxon" was manufac tured out of the original words, "dregs of nothing." It is not the Dome man who has applied this odious title; rather in eelf-Jetense in the matter of names we hava been compelled to remove the irodern cloak which shielded this man s real name from the gaze of the Twen tieth centuiy. What's in a name? Why, a whole lot. Doesn't' Faxon-pour out upon Stubbs and Dolley the dregs of bitterness thp.t have gathered in the bottom of his heart? The only trouble is that thes,e big drops splash upon the Dome man and amount to nothing at all in checking the unbroken string of successes lor the governor and the bank commissioner. Joe Mercer, the state live stock com missioner, after hearing Secretary of State Denton tell a story the other day about how he (Denton) had once upon a time plowed a certain num ber of acres of corn in a day and pitch ed a certain number of tons of hay and dug a certain number of bushels of potatoes, walked away In disgust, and coming upon a newspaper man, reliev ed his mind as follows: "Thaz fellow Denton makes me tired. He was just now trying to load me up with a big hot air story about how he used to work on a farm. Now I happen to know that he never worked a day on a farm in his life. If he ever circled a corn field it was in an -automobile. Why, the other day he got a letter from an old resident et southern Kansas in which the writer asked him for a re ceipt which would cure locoed horses. Instead of sending the man the infor mation, as he could have easily done had he ever worked on a farm, he came to ir,e and wanted -me Jto attend to the matter for him." U i The majority Of the'.' members of the Kansas supreme court are baseball fans, but Justice Mason holds the palm for being the only justice who has plavcd a game of baseball since his ele vation to the bench. Justice Mason n.ado this rroud record about six years ago when he played ball in his home town for sweet cbarity'3 sake. The Justice played left field In that memor able game and now calls attention to the fact that of the 30 leaders in the tatting averages in the major leagues, 25 of them are left fielders. J. N. Dolley, the state bank commis sioner and champion of tho guaranty law, made a speech last night at Alma, the occasion being the closing of the teachers' Institute There. Somebody is telling the story today that Dolley sprung tb.3 guaranty idea on the teach ers and wanted them to agitate the question of guaranteeing to inculcate learning into the heads of the youth of his state and then spring the issue in the shape of a plank in the platform at the next" state teachers' meeting. Dolley was fresh from the scene of his tri umphs at Wichita and ho made a fine ehowing. 'Xho female teachers declar ed that ha spoke like Spartacus to the Gladiators. Dolley Is getting to be an ell round speaker: When a man jumps trom the political stump into the halls of the legislature and then wanders on to the rostrum of a bankers' conven tion and winds' up at a teachers' insti tute vou have to give it to him. He is qualified to meet alt comers and give away weight. Chief Justice Johnston made a de cision the other day that seriously crippled the Topeka Street Railway company. This rather startling an nouncement is qualified somewhat in the telling of the story. The chief Justice was coming down town on a hot morning and missed his car by twenty seconds. The conductor, paid no attention to an eloquent gesture to wait a moment, but rung full speed ahead. Then Justice Johnston waxed wroth and resolved to beat that car company out of Ave cents by walking down town in spite of the heat. The conductor doubtless figured that the Judge would wait for another car. but the head of the supreme court reason ed too deeply tor tne simple conduc Physical Exhaustion "When you feel weak, tired out, and unrefreshed by sleep or when your appetite and digestion are poor, you will find its Use invaluable. HORSFORD'S Acid Phosphate (Bon-Alcoholic) tor. When the car company checked up their resources that night they were just five cents short while Jus tice Johnston was correspondingly long in his finances and happy after all in his conviction that he had slip ped over an inshoot on that impatient conductor. Homer Funk of Marion, excutive clerk during Governor Hoch's admin istration, was in Topeka this week at tending the Merchants' week celebra tion, and of course visited his friends in the state house before he left town. Funk is now a merchant, and in ex plaining his change of front expressed himself as follows: "I have quit poli tics and am now engaged in a more reputable business." Finley Ross, ex-mayor of Wichita, was talking with friends in the state auditor's office today when a newspa per man dropped in. In answer to the question about the Wichita lid, Ross declared that a man could get all the beer he wanted in that city. The reporter bristled up for a story, but went away in disgust when Ross handed out this pun: "Yes, a man can get all the ber he wants. now in my town, but it is root beer." Ex-Governor Hoch has twelve weeks of Chautauqua dates booked for this summer and ninety days with the Rid path people for next winter. The Marion editor talks for $150 per and likes the work. But not long ago he filled an engagement to address the Atchison high school for which he was paid $25 and refused to break the date in the face of a $150 offer to speak that night in Missouri. Governor Stubbs. the other day, re ceived a newspaper clipping about prohibition sent him by Leslie M; Perry of Washington, D. C. The old timers in the political game will re member Perry as a Paola newspaper man and political reporter in Topeka. Leslie went to Washington and added to the fame of his state by home steading a beautiful island in the Po tomac river a short distance from Washington. Only a Kansas man could have dug deep enough into the records to have found an unclaimed and unoccupied piece of land within two miles of the capital city of the nation a hundred years after the city had been founded. WOMEN WERE BRAVE. Sang Popular Songs While Life Boat lYujjht Breakers. New York, June 26. Members of the crew of the Cunarder Slavonia, which was wrecked June 10th on the rock bound coast of Flores, Azores, returned to this port on the steam ship Pannonian, telling interesting stories of the remarkable bravery of the American women passengers, fol lowing the wreck. "I never saw men so cool and brave as were those American women passengers," said one of the British crew. "They sang popular songs to ua while we rowed them through the breakers in the lifeboats. When the Slavonia ran on the rocks at 2:30 o'clock in the morning, most of the women came on deck in their night clothes, but they accepted the as surances of the officers that there was no danger and returned to their staterooms and dressed. Later they went about the decks spreading cheer and hopefulness everywhere. I did not see a hysterical woman on board. Not one of them bothered the officers or crew with questions and all of them accepted the orders given with magnificent grace. "When we landed them on the cliffs at Flores they fell among friends. A colony of Portuguese, most of whom had made comfortable little fortunes in America and who had returned to Flores to live In com parative luxury and peace, made them very welcome and extended every courtesy to them." TAFT PARDONED A BOY. Thirst for Knowledge Led Illm to Steal Greek Book. Atlanta, Ga., June 26. President Taft has issued a pardon to Abra Rhodes, a Georgia boy, whose thirst for knowledge led him to take a book from the postoffice at Blue Ridge, Ga. It was a Greek, text book valued at forty cents. Tried in the United States court, the boy was found guilty, but sentence was deferred by Judge Newman, pending application for pardon. Meantime the boy has entered the Georgia technical institute. Prom inent Georgians interested themselves in the case, and appealed to the de partment of justice, but a pardon there was refused. CHAUTAUQUA OPEN'S TUESDAY. Herington Preparing for a Record Breaking Crowd. Chautauquas are common occurrences over the ttate of Kansas this summer but Herington is claiming for the cele bration of her Chauta'.iqua, June 29 to July 4 one of the most novel events in the history of the Chautauqua in Kan sas. In the first place the automobile en durance run will be an attraction which is attneting wide interest over the slate. This endurance run will be rout ed through the city streets and avenues end out over the best maeadem and dragged roads in Dickinson county. The run will be a pleasure as well as a valuable prze to the winners. The first prize will consist of an elaborate solid silver cup to be presented after the race by Mayor Murray in behalf of the Herington Rambler club. The autc race will be held on July 3 and at the present time the judges have booked entries from Marion, Peabody, Council Grove, Junction City, Abilene, Sallna, Wichita and a number of other cities The hundreds of dollars offered in prizes has attracted cars from all over the state. Thi central Kansas automobile endurance run will be one of the lead ii g events in the central part of the state this year and this city expects to ei.tertain at least s.ow -visitors. Another feature of the big Chautau qua program is the acquisition of the Seventh Regiment band from Fort Ri ley. This military band is the best in the regular army today and they were procured at an immense expense to the Chautauqua association. This band will be here during the entire Chautauaua. Herington is an ideal location for a Chautauqua celebration. The railroad facilities are excellent. 32 regular pas senger trains a day entering from every direction.

Word is ex pected any day from F. A. Cook, Arctic explorer who is now believed to be awaiting transportation home at Ktah, North Greenland, and geo graphers In the Arctic club here which sent him north profess the earnest belief that he has reached the North Pole. Reviewing the journal he sent home from Cape Hubbard last year. from which point he made nis nnai dash for the pole, these geographers note that the route he planned to take would lead him directly to the North Pole providing that there was not very unfavorable ice conditions. Coupling this information with the fact that there have been more ice bergs floating down into the Atlantic ocean this spring and much earlier than ever before, the scientists be lieve they are safe in predicting that Dr. Cook was not hampered by un favorable Ice conditions and that he therefore reached the pole. Dr. Cook is believed to be now waiting at Etah for the arrival, of a Scotcn wnaier wmcn win Drmg mm and his possibly great news back to civilization. It is possible that this news may first emanate from Dundee, Scotland, which is the home port for most of the Scotch whalers which visit the Arctic seas. MEN'S SUITS GO HIGHER.

FLY-AWAY BALLOON; Bag Broke From Moorings and Was Struck by lightning. New York. June 26. Torn from its moorings of stout rope as if they were so many strings, the great bal loon Pomern, which won the Lahm cup in the international race two years ago, while benig inated in Coney Island was swept out to sea and in the midst of a veritable cloudburst struck by lightning and almost con sumed. Four women who were in the bas ket of the balloon making things snug narrowly escaped with their lives by Jumping out of the car as the big bag soared suddenly away. As the basket was whipped into the air, it swung against the side of the natatorium and demolished half dozen windows. The wind, which from the gentlest kind of a breeze, rose to a 70-mile-an-hour gale, almost in the twinkling of an eye, drove the balloon- first straight toward the open ocean. Later the lightning struck it. GEN. SNIFFENWEDS. He Was Secretary 'to President Grant from '69 to '77. Kansas City, June 26. Paymaster General Culver Channlng Sniffen, U. S. A.

Sehool Architect Perkins brought in NEW TOPEKA ELECTRIC CIGAR LOOKS METROPOLITAN New Departure in Electric Sign Construction In Topeka. Geo. Burghart's New Arched Steel Sign at 6th and Kansas Ave. the First. More of the Same Type Will Probably Be Built. Machinist's Electric Co. the Designers and Builders. iave you seen the big. new, arched steel cigar sign on the roof of the Jewel Building at Sixth and Kansas Avenues? Great, isn't it? It certainly does help the looks of Kansas avenue. It is clean cut and neat and has the big city appearance about it. The Machinists Electric Co., at 108 West Eighth avenue, has just finished the construction of this big new sign. It replaces the old Burghart's Favor ite sign, which was of wood construc tion and has occupied the same loca tion, for a number of years. In the evening, when the current is on it gives a truly metropolitan appearance making the building upon which It stands look to be at least two stories higher than it really is. Mr. J. A. Mercer, head of the Ma chinist's Electric Co., said today: "Yes we built the sign and have a right to be proud of it. The steel sign is no more expensive than wood and is much neater appearing and durable. We are in shape to handle any.. and all classes of electric sign construction." an official communication setting forth to the committee that, with the prevail-. ing modes, the young women students at the school had found the school lockers too small. In many cases, he said, the girls could not get their hats in at all and had to carry them down corridors and into recitation rooms. Some of the young women, the architect added, could get their hats in by standing them Up sidewise, but this was unsatisfactory. The thing to be done, he concluded, was to knock out the partitions between each pair of the old lockers, making one out of two, and then build on a new set, the cost of the whole proceeding being estimated at $1,400. LOCKED IN A BOX CAR. Six-Year-Old Chicago Boy May Be Dying of Thirst. Chicago, June 26. Locked in a freight car by some of his companions while at play and carried to some un known destination is believed to be the fate of Felix Kmieeik, years old. The lad has been missing for three days. Yesterday, at the urgent request of the police and the boy's mother, the officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railway commenced a diligent search for the boy. Every car that was in the "part of the railroad yard where he was sup posed to be will be thoroughly ran sacked. Many cars, which are now at distant points from this city, will have to be searched, as they have been moved since the disappearance. The police believe that the child went to sleep in the car, and, not noticed by railroad .employes, was carried away from the city. ACTORS MAY STRIKE. Claim Managers Are Not Giving Them a Square Deal. Chicago, June 26. A strike of more than 4,000 actors playing on the American stage was threatened by Harry Mountford, secretary of the board of directors of the White Rats, at a large mass meeting held after midnight in the Colonial theater. The trouble, according to a num ber of speakers who addressed the audience, is with the managers, vaudeville associations, and booking agencies. It was declared that the actors have not been receiving a "square deal," and that if conditions did not change in the near future a "walk out" for the entire organization of White Rats would take place. STOCKS ARE STEADY. Break of First of Week Followed by Effective Recovery. New York. June 26. The sharp break In prices of stocks of the earlier part of the week was fol lowed by an effective recovery and an irregular tendency. The uncertain factors in the outlook were fairly re flected in this movement. Heavy profit-taking and departures for sum mer vacations have reduced the forces at work in the market to an important degree. The approach of the July settle ments in the money market and the coming of crucial season for the crops lead naturally to dullness and hesitation in stock trading. The framing of the bill to tax net earn ings of corporations at Washington has been followed with some appre hension on the part of the financial world. Meredith Left Estate of $161,500.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 56, 1909. 13 A Jfew Walk In the New Way. The International Sunday-School Les son For June 27 Is a Temperance Lesson. Romans 13:8-14. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. A few weeks ago a New York col pge graduate was carried off to an in sane asylum because he had become arranged by one of the new Oriental cults that are Invading America In such profusion. The episode was a reminder of the variety and strangeness of the new-fashioned religions which are claiming the Interest of the western world. Yet how few of them are really making any impression upon the great body of people! The busy, every-day men and women do not even guess the Existence of these so-called mahatmas, and transcendentalists, and new old thought Orientalists, whose pictur esque garb and nebulous, mystical speech wins the attention of a few idle and Jaded spirits. It is no slight matter to establish a new religion. There never has been a time when it has been easy to get a hearing from the busy world for the claims of a different faith. The inertia of thing3 as they are must always be overcome. The triumps of Christianity have been tremendous, and argue that this gospel must have offered a con tent of truth which mankind needed and which appealed to the human Judgment. In this year 1909 it Is rather difficult to realize how fresh and different and radical were the teachings of Jesus and the apostles which have now been gathered into the New Testament canon. They were far above the old pagan philosophies, and ran counter to many of the fundamental doctrines of the latter. They superseded the Levitical law of the Hebrews and were a marked advance upon the teachings of Moses. A Study Jn Contrasts. The novels of Farrar, Kinsley and Sienckiwicz show the sharp contrast between the new life of the Christians and the old times into which it was projected. The life of the early church against a pagan background is as a jf.ha.tt of sunrise across the night's darkness. The licentiousness, selflsh jf, ness, and general immorality of the I world that environed the apostolic church makes us shudder as we view it from our present standpoint. The times in which the gospel first showed its power seem to have exhibited the name characteristics which we may find in the non-Christian lands to day. The reason contemporaneous Chris tianity is not more conspicuous in the world that is to say. the reason why there is not a greater difference be tween Christians and non-Christians in civilized lands is that we see the latter on a reflected -Christian back ground. The leaven of Christianity has influenced the entire body of society. We do -not see Christianity in contrast with sheer paganism, but its own ra diance has illumined its surroundings so that the light merges into lesser light. It is a real triumph f o Chris tianity that the contrast is not greater. The indirect benefits of the gospel must be accounted to its credit. We cannot hope for the sharp distinction that Paul presented as he wrote from corrupt Corinth to the church in the Roman capital at the time or Nero. The Law of the Golden Age. The fragment of Paul's letter which is studied this week is an exhortation to some of the characteristics which differentiated the Christians from the non-Christians. It will be noticed that Paul confines himself largely to stres sing principles rather than rules. The Jews were accustomed to a religion of definite proscriptions and prescrip tions. Now these old regulations were being superseded by the dominion of the love of Christ in the hearts of His Disciples. The law of love had been written as a gloss over the Mosaic ta bles. Somewhat the same truth is illus trated by the fact that in the United States today the Prohibition party is weaker than it was fifteen years ago, yet the principles for which it stood are stronger than ever. The lesser has been swallowed up in the greater. The program has been outdistanced by the progress of the principle. Paul was exhorting his friends to wake up to their obligation to love. He said that all that Moses had taught was com prehended in the single word "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The Christian may do much that the ancient law said he might not do, but upon one point it is inexorable: he must love. Now this new law of the better day cannot be a formal rite of regulation. It is an upspringing love from within. All the lawyers in Phila delphia cannot draw up an agreement that will make the discordant temper aments of a man and wife congenial. Only a new inner motive can do that. There is not a contract that can be created to compel men to fulfill the full measure of obligation to each other. Only the spirit of honor and love can do that. The most advanced So cialists in the world might write all of society's laws without improving con ditions any, unless human nature it self was first improved. "Only the Oolden Rule can bring in the Golden Age." The New Social Sense. We think that these are wonderful times in which we live because at last we are getting some slight grasp of the conception that the teachings of Jesus are a working principle for so ciety. "Each for all and all for each" is acclaimed as a new slogan of prog- ucii jum ivatcu diojjs Yoo cannot make it go by shaking if. w nentne Dowels are constipated you can disturb them with cathartics but. lilra I the watch, they will not De able to do their allotted work until they are put into proper condi tion to do it. One cannot mend a delicate piece of mechanism by vio lent mthrr1c onA no machinA mad a fnr mart isncfiim as the human body. The Use of nills. salts r-nstnr-nil and strong cathartic medicines is iao violent metnoa. The use of the herb tonic la Lane's Family medicine 1 the method adopted by intelli gent people. Headache, backache, indigestion, constipation, skin diseases all are benefited immediately by the use of this medicine. Druppists sell it of ress. Really It Is a direct return to the teachings of Christianity. We are simply showing that the ideals of Jesus are working out In the minds of men. The law of neighborliness which Is now creeping Into political platforms was baslo with the early church. It is at that truth that Paul is hammering in the present lesson. A few evenings ago I sat with a committee of men to pro mote social cohesion In their commun ity. The gathering' was not the result of advertisement or agitation, and no remark was made about it afterward; it was merely the working out of the teachings of the life of Jesus which these men had been studying in a Bible class. For when the mind of Christ is given play, as the early Christians sedulously endeavored to give it play, it expresses Itself in an exaltation of human relationships. The old gospel makes new neighborhoods. The social sense of our day Is but a beginning of an apperception of the genius of the gospel. Here is where the day's teaching ap plies to temperance, for this is desig nated as a temperance lesson this new social Impulse of brotherliness, this constant endeavor to pay the debt of love, is the most Insidious foe to the use of and traffic in strong drink. There is a world-wide and Irresistible movement toward temperance, because temperance Is Inextricably bound up with the social health. The liquor men may hire renegade preachers to es pouse their cause; they may organize national leagues for the reform of their own business; and in panic they may pour limitless treasure into their legis lative "defence fund." But It is all in vain. The stars in their courses are fighting against the unneighborly sa loon. It is doomed In an enlightened society because it hurts manhood and the community life. The war against the saloon is one with the war against tuberculosis; and a specialist remark ed recently that within fifteen years tuberculosis would be as uncommon as small-pox. There is so much of the mind of Jesus in the world today that these social anachronisms cannot be tolerated. Expulsion and Impulsion. The attitude of the twentieth cen tury world is. hospitable to the new teaching which Paul was enunciating to the early converts in Rome. Men are readier to listen to the doctrine of un selfishness, fer they have seen the bit ter truth of the practice of the coun trary teaching. When people get busy about loving they have no time for selfishness, and sordidness, and low self-indulgence. When any community Is permeated with the ministering spirit of Jesus a great deal besides strong drink will be driven out by the impulsion of that strong mind. "Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ," as Paul counseled, and a great many other things will be put off. Darkness and light cannot abide in the same room. The spirit of Jesus and the spirit that erects saloons and sweat shops and un sanitary tenements and permits child labor and the other evils of our time, must fly as the night before the dawn. To bring this to pass is the mission of the gospel. It is after a new so ciety, which Jesus called the Kingdom of Heaven. That kingdom consists of men and women who live by the love law. His disciples are disciplined to self-forgetting services of their fellow men. Their allegiance to him is prov ed by their attitude toward their neighbors. In his train enter a new or der of men and women sober, self restrained, self-sacrificing, and society serving. No thought of temperance is adequate which does not look forward to a social order where men "walk becomingly, as In the day" whose every action will stand the test of the will of God. "Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ," cried the' apostle, be cause He is social salvation. There Is no other power that can make the Rome of Nero Into the world's relig ious capital, that can make the sodden cities of ancient heathendom Into new Jerusalems. News and Notes.

The remarkable Chinese revival, which began In Wales, spread to India and then to Korea, has made its way down through Manchuria until now it is at Nanking, the southern capital of the empire. The same scenes of sim ultaneous vocal prayer, of the con fession of sins and the restitution of possessions wrongly acquired mark these recent revival meetings. "The Interior" quotes President James H. Baker, of the University of Colorado, as saying that the religious revival In educational circles Is one of the most marked of all the intellectual signs of the present time. The Log College, founded at Nes haminy, Pa., by Rev William Tennent, which was the mother of Princeton university, and a contemporary of Harvard and Yale, will be com memorated by the establishment of a summer school for Bible study and evangelistic work at Neshaminy. A committee of Philadelphia Presby terians have organized for this pur pose. The twenty-fourth international Christian Endeavor convention, which meets at St. Paul, Minn., July 7-12, will be unusually comprehensive In Its character. The leaders say it will have a record attendance. One feature will be a daily exposition of civic, moral and religious progress. This will in clude a tuberculosis exhibit- On Sat urday evening there will be a cele bration of the Mendelssohn centennial by the rendition of the oratorio "Eli jah." There are in the Hawaiian islands the same number of Congregational churches aa there were children in the Mayflower in 1602 101. They are a polyglot company, as is illustrated by the fact that they comprise Chinese, Negroes, Hawaiians, Koreans, Portu guese, Japanese and white men. The special propaganda for the benefit of Korea in the Presbyterian church has raised up to date over U70.000. At the time of the ecumenical con ference in New York, In 1900, Presi dent Harrison, after hearing Miss Singh, of the Isabella Thoburn univer sity at Lucknow, speak, declared, "If I had given a million dollars to for eign missions, I should count It wise ly invested if it had led only to the conversion of that one woman." Miss Singh, who possessed remarkable abilities, has been studying In Ameri ca for a number of years. She re cently died in the city of Chicago. The foreign mission boards of the country are appealing for aid for the regions In Asia Minor and northern Syria, which were ravaged by the recent massacres. Mr. John S. Huyler, the well known Methodist and candy manufacturer, was recently tendered a banquet In New York city, at which representa tives of every Methodist church and mission in the city, to the number of twelve hundred men. were present. The organized adult Bible classes of the middle west are to hold a con ference at Winona Lake, Ind., Au gust 20-25. At the recent meeting in New York city of the home mission council it was stated that there are fifty thou sand American Indians who are still uncared for by religious agencies. When Money Talks. Terse Comments Upon the Christian Endeavor Topic for June 27, "Mis sionary Pocketbooks." 11 Cor. 9: 6-15. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. A common saying has it that "mon ey talks." True; but It speaks only the language which, it has been taught. The speech of money may be low, coarse, sordid and selfish; or else it may be lofty, fine, noble and loving. A man's money will express the sen timents which he has imparted to it. He may make it eloquent with words of love and service, so that wherever It goes bowed heads will be uplifted, discouraged hearts made to hope and need's lives enriched. It is part ot a person's proper work in life to teach his money to talk wisely and helpfully. We speak of "long" pocketbooks; but of a different and better sort are the pocketbooks that reach far. Even the shortest purse may reach to the uttermost bounds of the earth. Money is a missionary. Wherever it is sent it is a messenger of light or darkness. It goes to the help or the hurt of mankind. The sad truth is that so much money is sent on fool ish, needless or wicked errands. For money may bear the most precious truths of brotherhood, of love and of hope. A man who has no gift of speech, no erudition, no appetite for teaching, and no personal charm, may yet fulfill all these offices through the right disposal of his money. Baptized pocketbooks are those ov er which tears of sympathy for a world's need have "been shed. Such pocketbooks are veritable treasuries of the Lord; because out of them he satisfies the wants of those whom he has declared to be his representa tives; for "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it un to me." So long as a man has money he is free; but as soon as money has the man he is a slave. Money is only "means:" It is not an end. A man may possess millions, and still fail to have secured all the most desirable things of life. It is not the possession of money, but its use, that makes a person rich. The office of money is merely as a me dium of exchange. Certain abilities or opportunities -are changed into money; then the money is changed into houses and clothes and food and health and service and pleasure. The manner in which this medium is em ployed determines one's wealth: so that one person buys more riches with a hundred dollars than another buys with a thousand. A popular notion that missions are simply something to which money must bo given widely prevails. Probably most persons think of missions only in con nection with money. Among Christians the idea is common that their supreme missionary obligation is met by money. A certain type of missionary address, with which all attendants upon religi ous gatherings are familiar, has greatly festered this misapprehension. Really the money side of missions is only sec ondary: if this enterprise is to be con ducted as a mere financial propaganda, it cannot widely succeed. Missions need knowledge. Interest and sympathy be fore they need money: "the gift with out the giver Is bare." It is more important that a Christian bear upon his spirit the burden of the unevange lized world than that he make large gifts of money to the missionary treas ury. This cause needs his Intelligent interest, his best counsel, his sense of responsibility, and his earnest prayers, more than it needs his dollars. A god less millionaire might give a fortune to foreign missions, but it would not count for as much in ultimate results as the prayers of the deep-souled saint who has no earthly store to give. Everybody at some time or. other feels the desire to travel: comparatively few may travel far in person, but every body may journey to distant realms representatively. One's money may go to scenes tropical and Oriental: and thus one's own power and personality may be projected into the uttermost parts of the earth. In this fashion, even a small pocketbook may become an ave nue of deliverance from a petty, trivial and self-centered existence. There is a familiar Bible verse which says that "the Lord loveth a cheerful giver." That word -"cheerful," says a commentator, really means in the or iginal "hilarious." The picture called up by the word is so contrary to our accepted notions as to be almost grotesque. The idea of giving with hilarity with unrestrained ana over flowing joyfuness is foreign to preva lent ideas and practices. Yet that is the kind of giver he Lord loves. The calculating, grudgir-.g and painfully self-conscious giver, who has figured out a due return for his bounty, may get full credit upon the books of ben evolent societies; but the Lord doesn't love him. Only they who so enter into the secret of the Christ-spirit, which has forth-giving, self-abasing, vicarious love for Its essence, can know the joy which comes from service, surrender and sacrifice. Some folk reckon religion in terms of pennies.- They are like the heathen who have "temple money" coins too small to pass current in the ordinary transactions of business, and so re served especially for gifts to the tem ple and to beggars. The effort to buy the gold of religion with the copper of selfishness is a cheap transaction. Every child should learn, that while candy may be bought by the penny's worth, nothing less than a nickel should be put into the contribution box. God asks for our money' only be cause he wants us. He can get along without gifts from us; but we can not get along without gifts to him. A distinct advance was registered when Endeavorers started the fashion of giving two cents a week to missions. Then it was rare for an individual to WeakWomen should heed such warnings as head ache, nervousness, backache, de pression and weariness and fortify the system with the aid of Sold Everywhere. I boxee 10c end 25c mm The Modern Way The above is a picture of our compress ed air house and carpet cleaning machine. It is absolutely the best and most modern method. It leaves everything perfectly clean and free from dust and disease germs, without the slightest injury to car pets, etc., or the work of taking them up. We are prepared to meet all competition, both in quality of work and low charges. we recommend compressed air, we will use any of the methods you may choose. Our charges are on the level. Compressed Air Carpet and House Cleaners support his own missionary. Now scores and hundreds of persons in dulge themselves often at great sac rifice in the luxury of an individual missionary. So while they work and earn and eat and sleep in one hemis phere, they minister as messengers of the gospel in another hemisphere. SEVEV SENTENCE SERMONS. No question is ever settled until it is settled right. Abraham Lincoln. Genius is mainly an affair of energy. Matthew Arnold. It Isn't raining rain on me, It's raining daffodils; In every dimpled thing I see Wild flowers on the hills. Robert Loverman. Along levels that anybody can reach lies the bulk of happiness everywhere. Edward Taylor Fairbanks. Too low they build who build be neath the stars. Young. Friend is a word of royal tone; Friend is a poem all alone. From the Persian. We are willing to love our neighbors if we can choose our neighbors, but that is Just where God tests us: He gives us neighbors whom we naturally would not choose in order to teach us to act on the real neighbor rule of helping the man next to us, whoever he may be. J. R. Miller. RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Gems Gleaned From the Teachings of All Denominations. The finer feelings are like the wind men know not whence they come nor whether they go. Rev. Dr. New ell Dwight Hillis, Congregational ist, Brooklyn. FAITH'S ARCHORAGE. As long as sin and sorrow and death are in the world Christ, the Rock of Ages, will be the invincible anchor age of faith. Rev. Dr. John E. White, Baptist,- Atlanta, Go. AN INFLUENCE IN RELIGION. A great influence in religion is the melancholy man. The men who have been in the torments of hell make the great poets and the great orators. We can't have depth without pain. Rev. Dr. S. P. Cadman, Congregationalist, Brooklyn. ON THE HOMESPUN ORDER. Would that our lives in this modern age could be more on the homespun order! They would then stand untar nished the wear and tear, the tempta tions and trials of every day. Dr. Charles Luther Kloss, Congregation alist, Philadelphia. REDEEMING CRIMINALS. The Son of Man valued law and its penalties as agencies for the redemp tion, not the destruction, of criminals. Christ abhorred crime, but he mingled with criminals in the hope of redeem ing them. Rev. James B. Clayton, Baptist, Washington. FAITH. Have faith in God, for faith is sun shine. Faith is a mother's arms in folding her child. Faith la the helms man at the wheel. Faith Is the pole star which directs our course from shore to shore. Rev. Dr. L. M. Zim merman, Lutheran, Baltimore. TO BECOME AN "IMMORTAL." How it enobles our work when we realize that it is part of the great plan of God I By bringing our loftiest vis ions to bear upon the practical things of life we learn to ,do our best work and bring forth evidences of the divin ity within us. Our work will not be merely for time, but for eternity. In that way we may become one of the "immortals." Rev. J. W. Roberts, Congregationalist, New York. WORLDLT PROSPERITY. If religion cannot stand the closest scrutiny, throw it away, for it is no good. If God cannot stand the same test, then reject God. We cannot doubt God, for the blessing of His spirit is within us. The desire for worldly prosperity is the curse of the nation and of the church. We today mix up too much our worldly prosper ity with religious victory. In fact, our idea of God has become worldly pros perity. Rev. J. Howard Wells, Meth odist Episcopal, Washington. BEST SEED TO SOW. The best kind of seed to sow is love true as a mother's, sympathy like an eternal spring, generosity whose hand cannot be closed, loyalty surpassing de votion to country, purity that vies with the mountain snow whiteness, truth as sure as the rising sun and as rich in helpfulness, charity that dis penses its gifts as the flower its fra grance, sacrifice that counts no cost and keeps near the cross, friendship that knows no superior save in Christ. Rev. James A. Matheson, Presbyter ian, Quincy, Mass. UNITY OF HUMAN NATURE. The unity of human nature is a fact of the gravest importance when we at tempt to estimate the forces of the spiritual life. No faoulty acts in iso lation. The intellect acts upon and is acted upon by the conscience and the emotions. Wrongdoing disturbs the mental balance. Doubt grows on the soil of sinful indulgence. The con sciousness of religious difficulties should lead us to greater carefulness of life. If we are full of doubts, then let us make as sure as we can that we have not blocked up by willful sin any window of the spirit. Rev. H. Hers ley Henson, Canon of Westminster Ab bey, London. VALUE OF EXPERIENCE. Every experience we pass through The Way 5 Years Ago No. 2 illustrates the method of cleaning car pets which has been employed for the last 5 or ten years. While it is cheaper than compressed air, it is far from being as satis factory and economical in the end. GO WEIL1L BROS is to fit us to help "others passing through a similar experience. Paul was a great sufferer, and to him we turn Tor words or comrort in affliction. So we in turn are to make our expe riences a blessing to others. A trav eler to the far wast was stranded in St. Louis and so compelled to give up his purpose. But after much hardship he began to prosper and gathered a fortune. He knew what it was to be stranded on the way and to suffer dis appointment. In his will he left a large sum to help stranded pilgrims west. Andrew Carnegie had a library opened to him when he was eager to learn, but without books. From that experience came his free libraries all over the country. These men made their experience work out for others' good, for it enabled them to appre ciate others' needs and minister to it. Make an application of this prin ciple today in your own life. You have your peculiar experiences. You have suffered pain. What sympathy you ought to have for sufferers! You have made your mistakes. What gentleness you ought to exercise toward those who err! You were discouraged, and some one helped you by a kind word. How ready you ought to be to speak a word of cheer! You have had your feelings hurt by criticism. How careful you ought to be for the feelings of oth ers! You know the frightful stress of temptation. Why not lend a hand to the tempted? Have you found a Sav iour? Then how eager you ought to be to tell others of him! Do you thank God for your experiences because they help you to helD others? That's part of the Christian life. Rev. Park Hays Miller, Presbyterian, Philadelphia. CHURCH NOTICES. First Baptist church, Thomas S. Young, pastor. Preaching at 11 a. nu by Rev. George Lerrigo.

When we say lightness, we mean that it Is as light aa Is consistent with strength and material. This vault is handled, however, as easily as any at the steel vaults that are on the market. By our method, there are amalgamated with the concrete ot the walla, bot tom and lid of the vault steel wires about three inches apart. Those of the walls run lengthwise and those of the bottom and lid run both ways. Being a part of the walls and gripped by the concrete so tightly as to be one mass, it la easily seen that to break the vault in the middle, nearly every wire in both of the walls would have to be PULLED apart. This illustrates the fact that wire used as we use 1 tin these vaults adds its TENSILE strength o the product. This vault is as solid and durable as though it were cut from solid granite. Nothing better in the way of QUALITY, at least, will ever be produced. We have achieved the limit of quality. D. 0. CRANE and W. R.

Address changed as often as desired. While ont of town the State Journal will be to you like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is re guested on these short time subscriptions, to save booVkeeplnjr expense. If women are savages as Professor Starr of the Chicago university says they are. In what category, pray tell, are the men? The next federal census ought to be a good one. It Is going to cost $10, 000,000. Still It has ever been the ex perience of governments that they do tiot get their money's worth. All of the state banks in Topeka are to get within the embrace of the state guaranty deposit law. Similar condi tions will probably prevail in every community in the state where there Is more than one bank. Competition Will demand it. Evidence has come to the front of late that it is possible to secure divorces In Chicago "onthe quiet." This is probably rot a good public policy, but It has Its redeeming feature nonetheless. People are not nauseated by having their dis gusting details of divorce suits flaunted In their faces dally by the newspapers. "We have it from a reliable dentist," remarks the Nebraska State Journal, "that Bonii girls fail to get married be cause their teeth need fixing," And to this the Chicago Tribune adds: "We have it from an equally trustworthy barber that some men, fail to marry because they don't get shaved often enough." According to Mr. Wellhouse, the sec retary of the Kansas Horticultural so ciety, the fruit crop conditions in the state are anything but favorable. The consumers havo been aware of this fact for some time, with cherries at $2.50 to $3 a crate and raspberries as high as $4 a crate. But the fruit grow ers who have any crops at all must find the conditions intensely favorable for their own poeketbooks. President Taft has. let it be known that he Is In favor of some sort of a hip subsidy plan for the stimulation of the shipping activities of the United States. But what does this count forT Mr. Taft has made It known repeatedly that he Is In favor of a revision of the tariff downward In accordance with the demands of the people. Congress, however, end especially the senatorial portion of It, U working away to re ivlse the tariff upward. There is some talk of bringing a French prize fighter over to this coun try to try his measure with some of the middleweight pugilists here. What's the use? The French boxing game is one where the contestants use their feet Instead of their hands. But maybe this fighting Frenchman Is nifty with the use of his tongue. If so he would be well qualified to carry on a preliminary contest with several of the American boxers, and that's really the extent of most of their fights. The railroads of Illinois have issued a vast array of figures to show that during tho past year they have lost millions of dollars through the opera tion of a two cent fare law. Borne time ago the Interstate commerce commis sion presented some different figures on theeame subject showing that the railroad of Illinois had made money by reason of the two cent passenger rate. All of which may be taken as further evidence that the railroads are ipretty handy in proving any sort of an argument that they wish to make through the medium of their own sta tistics. Senator Bailey, of Texas, took up the time of his brethren and the country the other day with a lengthy explana tion as to the reasons for his position-In votlns against the removal of the duties on hides, iron ore and a few other things on which he has stood shoulder to shoulder with the Aldrlch crowd. Other senators have indulged In similar explanations. More will fol low Buit during the' closing days of the tariff discussion. But they will have to do a little taller explaining when they get home to their constituents, or lse the handwriting on the wall is in the nature of a forgery. Ai supposed bootlegger did a rushing business near the ball park the other day In disposing of filled flasks to the thirsty Topekans who spied him.' They paid for the real things In the line of liquors out got nothing mora than some good vinegar. Now what could this enterprising gentleman be punished for? us could scarcely be held for violating the prohibitory law. Neither could he be charged with violaHna the nii fond law because the: vinegar he dispensed was of an excellent quality. Perhaus he might be amenable to a charare of fraud for obtaining money under false pretences. But then the chances are that none of his victims will have the temerity to prosecute him.

I J naiROLU Willi mCD BI1&U DQ wise: but a companion of fools shall be Solomon's wisdom as regards to men la as multitudinous as it is pro found. It covers every gamut of human characteristics. Life had no secrets from him. His was the eye as sharp as an eagle's. It could pierce and analyze the frailties of mankind in no uncertain terms. Bet ter still, it was backed up by an evenly balanced mind and a judg ment that was ever ready to lay down proper precepts for their cor rection. Even a casual reading of his proverbs cannot fail to be of bene fit to those of a willing disposition to Improve their ways of living and thinking. They are brim full of ad monitions and conclusions which are as forceful as they are simple of un derstanding. Many of them are well nigh axiomatic, truths which are self-evident. Not one of them is more patent, though, than that which Is used above for a text Its sen- slbleness should appeal to everyone. What could be more apparent than that a man that "walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed?" It must have been the foundation on which was built that vernacular adage to the effect -that a man Is known by the company hs keeps; ex cept, that It goes a little further. Al most everybody of any degree of In telligence whatsoever, must recognize the force of this contention. And yet. how many there are, who, knowing this to be true, heed It not. Their number la legion. They never even stop to think of the company they keep. They do not seek out the wise and the good by whose examples they can profit. They drift along In re sponse to their grosser passions to the companionship that may be more congenial. Step by step does their care lessness lead them on, until they find themselves in the same undesirable boat in which their companions are traveling. If this realization comes at all. It generally comes too late Reputations, those priceless things when they are good, are already blasted. Then there la a faint sigh or two of vain regret over how dif ferent things might have been, but in the end a deeper plunge Is taken into the maelstrom of wrong-living In which a variety of vices play prom inent parts. A warning as to the choice of com panions is particularly pertinent to young folks, the boys and girls who are approaching the estates of man hood and womanhood. It is then that their characters for life are In the process of formation. It Is then that the environments of every day leave their impressions most strongly upon them. If they seek and rather glory in the companionship of fools in place of the companionship of the wise and the decent, the harvest that they will reap In later years will be bitter one. It doesn't pay to sow the seeds' of folly. The crop It yields is not a profitable one in any par ticular. And among the seeds of folly none are more harmful than the choice of foolish and Indiscreet com panions. Nothing but evil is In them. and it is easily transmitted to those who are unfortunate enough to get into contact with it. 6ION THE PETITIONS. It is now possible for the voters of Topeka to attach their signatures to the petitions calling on Mayor Green to designate a date -for a special elec tion when the question will be put to the vote of the people of this city as to whether or not they wish to sub stitute that modern and effective method of municipal government. known as the commission plan, for the present cumbersome and rather unsatisfactory system under which the affairs of the city are administer ed. If there have been any doubters In this city as to the absolute adequacy of the proposed form of government, their skepticism on this point must surely have been removed by the ad dress on this Important subject which was delivered yesterday at the Com mercial olub by CoL Lafe Young, the brilliant editor of the Des Moines Capital. The fine city that Col. Toung has helped to make has been trying this plan of government for more than a year. It has proved to be em inently satisfactory. It has done bet ter than even its most ardent admir ers had reason to expect. It has been a real surprise to its former enemies, who are now among its staunchest friends. This is the story that is told in every city where the commission system has been tried. As Col. Toung said, the work of conducting a city calls for the appli cation of business principles. This is not practicable where the plan for a city's government Is a complex one with ail unwieldly city council whose chief function seems to be to delib erate ad Infinitum on every question great and small affecting a city's af fairs. In such a government author ity is divided and it is a difficult task to accomplish anything, and especially with promptness. Things are different when a commission rules. The com missioners have the' requisite power to do things, and It has been the his tory of all of them that have been tried that they do these things and do them well. Red tape, which tan gles up so many of a city's projects and so much of its work that should be done at once, when the occasions demand It, is cut to shreds. A prac tical government of a city is made .possible. The results have been, where municipal commissions have been at -work, that expenses are re duced materially; politics of the pea nut variety which have ever been the bane of most cities' government are eliminated entirely; in fact, essential reforms of all kinds In the adminis tration of a city's affair are possible. Topeka needs just such a form of city government, now that she has be gun in such a magnificent fashion to spread her wings. It will be in keep ing with the spirit of progress which is pervading the whole people of the town. And no voter should hesitate long to put his name on the petitions which are being circulated. Only six hundred of them are needed, but let there be six thousand to show that the sentiment in Topeka for a com- mission form of government is well nigh unanimous.

To save a little time in which to get ready for the trip we will answer a few of the questions that are being dally fired at us. No, we do ot expect to be seasick. We do not expect to have time to call on Edward VII or William ill. we have no in tentlon, when we return, of writing a book or getting up a lecture. We are not going to visit either Egypt or Pal estine. If we had any desire to see ther of these countries we: believe the same object could be accomplished by going to southeastern Missouri. we are not going to spend very much '.me in cathedrals and picture gal- kries. We can go to church at hoirie. and never since the World's fair have we hankered much after picture gal leries. No, we do not understand a word of either Dutch, French or Ital ian. We have deliberately made up our mind that if the effete people of Europe desire to profit by our intelli gence and general Information they will have to learn English as she is poke in Kansas.

There Is plenty of room for success ful nieu. A man haUs to admit that he got the worst of a horse trade. Don't abuse a man to his friends. It is both cowardly and impolite. Another thing we refuse to believe is that a snake can 'charm a person. Another item in favor of the men: They don't advertise for long lost kin. The man who won't work is always willing to make room for the man who will. When a boy reminds his mother most of his father is at the time when n-i decides he needs a spanking. The people do pretty well, consid ering that they had no choice in liking out their fathers and their mothers. An Atchison man, whose wife and seven daughters have bad teeth, has put in a chair, and hereafter will do his own dentistry evenings. It seems a pity, during the wheat harvest, when help is scarce, to waste good man driving the binder. .A boy or a woman could drive. When a woman has a picture of her baby taken, she looks at it admiring ly, and says: "That s pretty enough to be printed in the Ladles' Home Journal.'' It is no more ridiculous to let a doctor make you believe that you have appendicitis than it is to let a lawyer make you believe that you can get justice by going to law. An old-fashioned woman doesn't think she has observed all the rules of hospitality unless she asks her guests to. have chicken ten" times, po tatoes six times, and bread twice.

KANSAS COMMENT V WORK TS RUTOTTTWR'ri There is a great deal of talk nowa days about good roads and something will be done. And yet it is safe to say that the public generally does not ap preciate the Importance of the subject to the general community. Most men are so eonflned at their work that they personally use the roads very little, and the cry for good roads seems to. them something in which they have no per sonal interest. That is where they are mistaken. Every good road, every wa terway, every additional improvement for travel and traffic, is of benefit to every person whether he walks or rides ?n A?8 roads or not- !t Is a reduction in the expense of commerce, a reduc tion that will bring a profit that should be divided between producer and con sumer. Everybody is either a producer or consumer, or both, and therefore, ha will be benefited by what helps them. On account of this indifference on the face of the Question it takes strens and forceful action by those directly concerned in the use of the roads. They will have to teach and p-each, they will have to push and pull. Jus- be cause the advantage of good roads is io me puouo will not get the pub lic interested unless the fact and the individual benefit are known. That takes work and worry, patience and perseverance, enerarv and enthusiasm. There is no question of greater im portance than that of good reads and none which requires harder exertion to make understood. When once ap preciated and evidence shown, the rest win come rapidly and easily. Hutch inson iNews. DOG OWNERS COMPLAIN. The Interstate Commerce Commis sion has been called uson to reeulate the shipment of almost everything, but tne aog owners will spring a new one wnen iney ask the commissioners to regulate the carrying of dogs on inter state trains. The dog owners who travel complain regarding the many different regulations on the railroads, and point out that the regulations are not only a great bother to the owner of the dog, but that in many cases they amount to cruelties. They want the new regulations to apply to electric lines as well as to steam roads. All dog owners object to having their pets put in Daggage cars, where there is danger of the anmials being crushed by falling trunks. Some roads require that dogs be crated and others allow small dogs in passenger cars. It is proDaDle that the commissioners will be asked to have a separate compart ment built in baggage cars where dogs can be kept. Dog owners of the west will take no part in this movement until the Interstate Commerce Commission has finally decided the claim of this sec tion that the Missouri river rate basing fallacy be abolished.

Emporia Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS PENSION CO-OPERATION. The Massachusetts legislature has enacted a law which should interest railroad men generally, and those who are striving to provide for the ruture of tollers who are engaged in hazard ous callings. The measure grants per mission tm the Boston and Maine Rail road company to establish a pension system for its employes. The idea or iginated in. the company's headquart ers, where the system was planned. The proposed pensions are to be pro vided for by equal contributions from employers and employes, and the form er are pledged to make up any de ficiency If the joint payment falls short of J200, the minimum sum. The Massachusetts proposition Is promising, in that it provides for har monious co-operation between employ er and employe in a work that will surely cultivate mutual sympathy and tend to bind the interests of both more closely and thus establish relations which may make for harmony as to wages for service and as to the rules and regulations under wnicn such ser vice shall be given. The pension sys. tem is capable of expansion, and it has already been suggested that it might eventually be made to embrace accident insurance and sick benefits. Milwaukee Wisconsin. OPPORTUNITIES0OF THE SOUTH. It Is true that the big cities of the West and North offer great prizes to those who have ability that is above the ordinary, but there are only a few who win these prizes, ana, arter an, the prizes that may be won in the South are just as desirable. Money by money they may not be as great be cause the South isn't as rich as the North, but she is getting richer all the time, and if all her young men were to give her a helping hand it wouldn't be so very long before her prizes would be great enough to satisfy any reason able ambition. The thing, therefore, for the soutn's young men to do Is to cast their lots with their own people. In agriculture, the industries, the professions and in business the opportunities are great, and are increasing all the time. No one of them is overcrowded, particularly with men of first-class ability. The most of the young men of the South who seek careers in the North and West have a hard struggle before they get a foothold and where one succeeds tnere are a aozen wno iau. The same patience, endurance and ability in the South that are exercised In the North would bring Detter re sults at home. In every Southern uni versit yand college, therefore, the stu dents should have the idea impressed upon them that the South is the field for the exercise of their talents. Savannah News. SOUTH --AFRICA UNITED. Natal, the last of the South" African colonies to voto on the question of federation, has adopted the proposition by a large majority, Natal is pro- ouncedly .English ana it was iearea that the colony might refuse to enter a federation which tho Dutch probably will control, but apparently the Dutch and the English have determined to get along together in South Africa as amicably as the Flench and the Eng lish get along in Canada. And Why not? The South African federation will henceforth be as important an entity as the Austrian federation and the Dominion of Canada. It may not re tain the old ambition for separation from the British empire. It is more likely to find itself growing more and more contentea with the actual ana eaceable realization of independence ithin the British empire.
