FLOOD OFLETTERS State Bankers Write to the Bank Commissioner. Want to Know What W ill Be Bone to Protect Them. EXPECT NO TROUBLE Mr. Bolley Thinks Bifficulty Will Be Ironed Out. No Special Session of the Legis lature Necessary. State Bank Commissioner Dolley's mail was loaded today with letters from state bankers In which inquiry was made about the status of the guaranty law and what s'teps would ba taken to protect the state "s from the proposed action of the national banks in the matter of paying over three per cent interest on deposits. The state banks are denied by the pro visions of the new guaranty law from paying over three per cent, while the national bankers propose by the terms of their new insurance guaranty as sociation to pay as much interest as they please on deposits. The tone of these letters is not hos tile or defiant, but rather they handle the proposition from a plain business standpoint and want the national bankers to "tote" fair in the matter. They argue that the concession In the new law restricting the amount of in terest to be paid upon deposits was granted at the instance of the national bankers. These state bankers argue that the national bankers can call the directors of their new association together at sny time and change the by-laws of the organization, while ln the case of the state bankers guaranty association the state legislature, composed of 165 members, comprises their board of di rectors and can alone remedy the con stitution under which they are to do business. Mr. Dolley does not think there will bo an extra session of the legislature and that the matter will be adjusted but he declared that the talk of an oxtra session was not a bluff at all, nor was it an impossibility. He was in .popes mat it would not be necessary Said a state. house square dealer to oay ir the operation of the National Bankers' Surety company seriously in terferes with or impairs the efficiency of the guaranty of bank deposits law there will be a special session of the legislature and the following law will be enacted: An act to regulate surety lumpanies in ineir business of guaran teeing bank deposits." This Jaw will provide that they shall not guaranty deposits bearing over 3 per cent interest nor bank balances ferried in reserve banks and will con tain other restrictive features. This law would be effective and practical as ir.e state nas tne right to regulate com j'anies aoing business under a state cnarter. While the legislature wns In session It could pass appropriation bills for the fish and game warden department, the Wyandotte court of the Second district end the $10,000 item for the Pittsburg i;aming scnooi, an or which state busi r.ess was overlooked during the closing hours of the last legislature. On the other hand Attorney General Jackson has figured it out that there is no need to call a special session to thresh out and adjust the differences ltween the bankers. He believes that business conditions will adjust the trou- cie in tne natural course of events. haskelus"herl Veteran Vmpire Handles Indicator ln Topeka. n. xiiisRfii. ine veteran nmn pa V?e Western league and the chief i rrreraeni U'ftems staff, arrived in Topeka this mornine- and will wr,r.u i the remaining games of the present mcn conclude Sunday.

INTEliEST QUESTION National Institutions May Not Keep Within 3 Per Cent. Talk Is Not Regarded Seriously by the Conservatives. The bone of contention between the National Bankers' Private Guaranty association, or rather in surance association, and the State Guaranty association is the fact that the former will not agree to restrict tne interest paid on deposits to three per cent as is provided for by the state law authorizing the state guaranty of bank deposits. Out of this difference has arisen the present talk of a special session of the legislature: While it is not generally believed that the governor will call such a session there is no doubt but the foundation for the re ports of such a session originated in the governor's office. It is regarded now as a bluff, but" it may possibly turn out to be the real thing. Still, if the governor could not con trol the regular session there is no ground for the fond hope that he will have any better luck with a special session. It might take a month to get .an amendment in the present banking laws worked out and placed on the statutes. Gov. Stubbs knows this as well as any body and will hesitate long before he calls back into session the legislators who hammered his utility bill into smithereens. The new state guaranty law will not permit state banks taking part in its benefits to pay over three per cent on deposits. The governor declares that this restriction was imposed in order to satisfy national bankers. Now he thinks that they in their turn should restrict interest payments on deposits to three per cent also and. thus conform to the concessions they gained in the passage of the state law. He thinks they should also adopt all the other restrictions of the state guaranty law. The national bankers, however, have kicked over the traces and re fuse to follow in this matter. Speaking of their stand on this ques tion, one of the leaders in the plan of national bank insurance said: "Banks, as a rule, never fail on ac count of the interest paid to de positors. They fail on account of bad loans or thefts. What this company has decided to do is not to interfere with the rate of interest paid on de posits but to determine- whether-the bank seeking insurance is managed efficiently. "Some of the most conservative and strongest banks in the state, es pecially in western Kansas, pay 4 per cent on deposits. They will be permitted to pay that amount by our company. We have decided to face the matter squarely and have it set tled once for all." Onvemor Stubbs will not even dis cuss the probability of his calling a special session, dui a politician vw close to him in council is quoted as declaring that there would be such a session canea in me next mmy uaja. It is a well known fact that the pres ent guaranty law would not have named the legislature had it been known at the time that national banks could not participate in its Denents. It is given out that the primary object which is to justify this special session is that it would prevent a war between the national and state banks by amending the state guaranty law so that state banks will have the same privileges as those granted by the charter of the national banks protec tive association. President Ames of the national as sociation, speaking of the matter, said: "The company will be ready for business as soon as some of the details have been worked out, and the insur ance laws complied with. A form of .j Z?Xn tJZnJJ?: oevnidaeSsred UPn which in substance provides "That the Bankers' Deposit Guar anty Surety company obligates itself and agrees to pay to the depositors, or some trustee named by them, all de posits of the bank. "The condition of the obligation Is that if the said bank shall become in solvent and be unable to pay its de positors on demand, at maturity, then in that case the Bankers' Deposit Guaranty Surety company agrees to pay all unpaid balances due depositors within one year from date of suspen sion with 6 per cent interest per an num. The depositors are to assign to the companv their claims against the bank, and thereafter the company be comes subrogated to all the rights of said depositors. "Many state banks have come Into the companv for the reason that no limit has been placed on the rate of interest a bank snail pay on time de posits, the opinion or a large majority of the directors being that it would be better to let the examination dis close whether or not a bank was pay ing a higher rate than it could afford to pay. If it was, refuse to issue a policy. "On the other hand, if the bank was doing a prosperous business, and pay ing a higher rate than 3 per cent to give its depositors the protection of the company. In a "word, the examin ation of every bank having its de posits guaranteed by a policy in this company, must disclose that the bank assets are clean and that the manage ment is honest and conservative, -on am JOj apiAoad i;m Xoijod jno conditional payment of the deposits of a suspended bank with 6 per cent from date of suspensoin. It is not the intention to antagonize the state banks or the state guarantee law. but to of fer a plan that will appeal to the de positors as affording as good a se curity as is offered by the state law." Shukers Would Cancel a Parole. Leavenworth, Kan., June 29. Chas. Shukers. assistant atorney general, has filed a motion in the district court for the cancellation of the parole granted William Trumm following his plea of guilty to violation of an in junction.

African Bishops Appeal to Com merce Commission ln Vain. Washington, June 29. Five bishops of the African M. E. church who complained to the Interstate Com merce commission that they were discriminated against by Southern railroads and by the Pullman com pany in transportation, dining facilities and sleeping car accom modations have been Informed by the commission that their complaint was not warranted. It was alleged by the complainants that the day coaches furnished for negro passengers ln the southeastern states were not equal to those pro vided for white people; that negroes were denied sleeping car accommoda tions; and that they were refused food in the dining cars solely be cause of their color. It Is held by the commission that undue dis crimination or prejudice was not shown and the complaint therefore was dismissed, i NO BAD BANANAS. Pure Food Authorities' Will Do Some Prosecuting. There has boen considerable complaint lately about decayed bananas placed on the market and the state board of health has secured from Attorney Gen eral Jackson the following opinion re garding this infraction of the pure food laws by dealers: k 'Answering your oral Inquiry con cerning the sale of bananas on bunches, a part of the bananas on which bunches is decomposed, permit me to say that section 2 of chapter 134 of the session laws of 1909 defines all vegetable food substances that are in whole or in part, decomposed, tainted, filthy or putrid as adulterated, and -their sale is pro hibited by section 2 of chapter 266 of the session laws of 1907. "Bananas on bunches cannot be sold when a part of the bananas are in this condition. If the owner of bananas in this condition desires to sell the bananas on the bunch that are good he must separate the spoiled bananas from those that are good and sell only the good ones; otherwise he commits a crime for which he can be prosecuted." KEEP TEAFllTUEBLO. Elks of That City to Raise Money Lew Drill fo. Manager? Pueblo, Col., June 29.

The plea advanced by counsel for the company that the statute of limitation operates to bar prosecution contemplated by the government may, it is said, delay action for a few days, but no longer. SEND IN THE BONDS. Guaranty Bank Must Turn Them Over to Bank Commissioner. The very natural mistake is being made bv state bankers of sending their bonds for membership in the state guaranty association direct to the state treasurer. These bonds should be sent first to the state bank commissioner. The law provides that he shall pass first upon the etigibil ity of the bank and its bond and then if he is satisfied he turns the bond over to the state treasurer. Another Bad Fire at Parsons.

ON A LONG FLIGHT Two Hundred Homing Pigeons Beleased This Morning. Expected to Beach Milwaukee and Racine Tonight. DID NOT HESITATE Every Bird Started at Once to the East. Manager De Gelleke Expects Birds to Break Record. The two hundred odd pige&ns from Milwaukee and Racine, Wis., property of the contestants for the diplomas awarded by the Milwaukee District International Federation American Homing Pigeon Fanciers were releas ed at the lawn near the Santa Fe de pot this morning at 5:37 a. m. by their keeper, Josiah De Gelleke, train bag gage master with the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul railroad in Mil waukee and with the nutter of wings and a second's poise ln the air they turned their beaks toward the north east and flew in a great flock toward their roosts and their homes "in Wisconsin.- It is expected that they will arrive in Milwaukee sometime this evening. These pigeons have been in Topeka for the last few days in care of Mr. De Gelleke, who has been waiting for a clear day in which to start the birds on their journey. Each morning they were scheduled and they seemed to know it as they peck ed away at the wire screens which held them in captivity but not until this morning would the pigeon expert allow them their liberty. At 5:37 the operator inside the de pot was notified and he informed Milwaukee of the beginning of the flight. The little cages were opened and the birds given the free use of their wings. With a clap and a word of encouragement which they seemed able to understand they loosened their wings, spread them apart a few times and with a deafening flutter they rose in the air above the city and in one minute and thirty seconds they were out of sight far out over the Kaw valley flocking close together and sailing majestically on the quiet morning air. It was a beautiful sight and a large crowd witnessed the flight at the Santa Fe depot this morning. "I was more than pleased with -the "release this morning," said Mr. Gelleke. don't believe I have ever seen such a fine start. Generally they fly. high above the starting point and circle around a few times losing in this manner a minute or so in order to get their "'KWBfl i gs'.' -''This morning they seemed to havepicked their direc tions from the cages and they did not waste a second before flying on their Journey. I look for this to be one of the best flights of the series." The Milwaukee people have been notified of the start and considerable Interest is being taken in the finish Last year it took 11 hours. 24 minutes and 6 seconds for the flight or 6UU miles but it is thought that the rec ord will be broken this year. "A stiff southwest breeze would be a great thing for them,"added Mr. De Gelleke, "and I am hoping that they are ben efitted by a little wind of some kind. It will save them considerable time and make the race more interesting. But during a quiet day like today they will make good time." To cover the 500 miles between To peka and Milwaukee in less than twelve hours is quite a flight for the Homers. They are a high bred class of pigeons and probably have more class than any other flock in the country. They have been on exhibi tion at the Santa Fe depot for 'some time and have been interesting to the few fanciers in Topeka. Most of the birds are black or blue very few white. The whites are a cross with a slower and more sluggish bird and are not considered good fliers. Mr. De Gelleke leaves for Milwau kee at once and when he arrives he promises to send to the State Journal a complete report of the time made bv the birds and tneir condition, xne flight is one of the big flights of the country and has attracted wide attention. HOT WEATHER IS NOT SO BAD, the Hot Weather Dreams Could Be True. PLAYER GOES TO JAIL. Lima. Ohio. Chief of Police Will Pro tect Umpires. Mma Ohio. June 29.

Presi dent Hadley presented hla report at the meeting of the alumni ln Alumni hall today at Yale. Glfford Flncnot, 89, presided. The report discusses the diminu tion in the study of Greek and its effect; the posibility of combining modern culture studies with the old fashioned requirement of hard work; the considerations which should gov ern the choice of professors, and the possibility of introducing honor courses like those of Oxford or Cam bridge into the American college. President Hadlev said that many of the strongest men in England and the United States have decided that the study of Greek takes more time than it is worth. Continuing he said ln part: "Tn trvinsr to get more practical re sults in the way of knowledge or cul ture a great many American college boys have .lost tne training wnit-n fiwpv would have given them and gained nothing of equal value in its place. But colleges can not leacn a. thirw to a nubile which does not want to study it and we must recognize the fact that an increasing part of the American public does not care to have its sons give tne Time necessary lor tvio effective use of the Greek language -as a means of competition and disci pline. This makes academy proDiems difficult' Among the recent gifts of special importance not previously announced, are $100,000 from Mrs. Morris K. Jesup for the endowment of a profes sorship in culture, in memory of her husband, and $50,000 from an anony mous friend of the art school in mem ory of the late Richard S. Fellows of the class of 1832. During the alumni meeting it was announced that Cornelius Vanderbilt, class of '95, had made a gift of $10, 000 as the nucleus of a fund as a memorial of theservice.s of Dean Henry P. Wright, who retires from the aca demic department with this com mencement. Two tablets placed in the vestibule of memorial hall were unveiled to day. One was in memory of Hiram Bingham, 1857, missionary to Mi cronesia, 1908, navigator, civilizer. Bible translater, and Charles Harding, 1856. missionary to India, 1899.

Meat Inspection Is' GiTen Clean Bill of Health. STOItlES WERE FALSE Committee Report Denounces Him as Sensation Maker. Taf t Will Make No Change In Ag ricultural Department. Washington. June 29. The meat Inspection service of the United State is to be given a clean bill of health by a special committee appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to In vestigate the charges of Inspector J. F. 'Harms, that filthy conditions existed ln the National stockyards of East St. Louis. Harms will be de nounced in no uncertain manner as a sensation maker, and Instead of be ing permitted to resign bis office will be dismissed. Mr. Wilson will announce the find ings of the committee. The statement will show that in the neighborhood of sixty persons were examined; that the evidence secured fails to sub stantiate any point of Harms allega tions; that the stockyards are in ex cellent condition, and that meat which has been labeled "inspected and pass" was food fit for human consumption within the meaning of the laws; that Harms never made any report about the alleged violations of the law and the passing of unfit meat and its products, although he had been in the service eighteen months until he published his "open" letter to Secretary Wilson and that finally this letter was prepared in conjunction with a newspaper man. Inspection Service Is Efficient. The. statement that the department of agriculture -will make Is expected to arrest-Injury to the foreign meat trade of the country, which such allegations as Harms' were calculated to produce. Accompanying it will ba the assertion couched in as strong language as it is possible to write that the Inspection service generally is efficient; that 780 establishments en gaged in interstate commerce which are under the jurisdiction of the agri culture department are obeying the law, and finally that meat shipped by such establishments and labeled by the government inspectors is fit to eat. In a word, the department will make a sweeping vindication of its meat in spection branch. President Taft will accept at their face value the conclusions of the spe cial anmmittan aa approved by Mr. Wilson.-Wh1le the president has shown some interest in the meat charges, he has indicated clearly his confidence in Mr. Wilson by holding that the matter is one which that official should handle without any reference to the White House. This is accepted as proving that the president Is entirely satisfied with the way in which tha agriculture department Is being admin istered Considers No New Secretary. So far as concerns a change in the head of the department, it may be stated authoritatively that the presi dent has not considered anything of the kind. When he asked Mr. Wilson to become a member of bis cabinet he made no reservation as to the length of service. A report was current a few days ago that Representative Scott of Kansas had been selected to succeed the Iowan. Secretary Wilson was quoted as saying he would not retire until his resigna tion was requested. The president has informed all inquirers that he has no Intention to ask for the secretary's resignation and that ho hopes to have him continue ln his official family throughout his term.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE 'JOURNAL--TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1909. r t GOT EVEN BREAK. Hendrlx's Great Pitching Cap tures Closing: Game. Errors Only Saved Des Moines Team From Shutout. GROUND WAS MUDDI Otherwise Defeat of Visitors Would Hare Been Greater. Abbott's Hard Hit in the Sev enth Made Victory Certain. Superb twirling: on the part of Mr. Rhode Island Hendrix gained for the Topeka club an even break with the Ies Moines layout In the last game of the series which was put on at the Cooley ballyard yesterday afternoon before a crowd of two hundred fans. The remainder of the Topeka fans were afraid they would ruin their garments In the bright sunlight which came out a few hours before the game com menced and that Topeka might not win. The Bleachers Liked Abbott's Hit. This young afore mentioned Mr. Hen drix was pitching classy ball. Seven lilts were secured at odd intervals, and even this number would have been in sufficient to even score a solitaire had not the local fielding 'foree aided and e betted with numerous errors. Mr. Hendrix also was there with the strike outs; havine- amassed eight during the afternoon affray. Biersdorfer, who subdued the fighting Cooleysox last week, could not repeat. He was hit hard, fourteen safe drives bei..g registered against him. Had it not been lor the muddy condition of the grounds many more runs would have been scored, and many of the hits which went as mere singles would have been stretched. For instance Ab bott hit one on the nose in the seventh Inning, which went on a line between center and left. The ball hit the soft earth and stopped when on an ordi nary field It would have gone to the fence. Biersdorfer however managed to sneak in a number of strikeouts, his total reaching the same mark as Hen drix eight. p Thomason Dropped Barter's Ply. Topeka started out good, scoring two hits in the first inning, but it wasn't until the- second that the run getting commenced. McManus started with a single through shortstop. Abbott was retired but Downle singled to center field and Mac reached third. Hendrix hit safe to center, Mattick misjudging his fly and McManus scored the first run of the game. Downie reached third on the hit and scored when Geler doubled to left field. Des Moines after Topeka had got the lead, made a hard up hill fight and by taking every advantage of misplays managed to tie the score. In the third inning Rhody walked his first man, Kerner. Biersdorfer attempted a sac rifice but Abbott ran up and caught the ball in the air, a brilliant play. 'Abbott hesitated to throw to first, waiting for Geler to cover, and when he finally was compelled to throw it Ceier wasn't quite there, and allowed a perfect throw to go to the bleachers, Kerner reaching second.

Mattick sacrificed and Dwyer proved equal to the pinch nit ting occasion scoring Mattick -on a pretty single to center. Dwyer took second on Wooley's throw to plate but Hendrix tightened up and fanned the next two. The game was uncertain to either team until the seventh and both teams looked like formidable winners. In this act however Geier drew four wide ones but was forced at second on Kunkel's attempt to sacrifice. Kunkel took sec ond on a passed ball but Mattick caught him on a pretty throw to the plate when he tried to score on Fen Ion's single to center field. With two out and Fenlon on first it did not look much like a slugging carnival would follow but it did. Thomason beat out a hit to deep short and McManus hit to right field, scoring Fenlon, Thomason speeding to third on the throw in. Ab bott uncorked the longest hit of the day, a single to deep left center and scored the final two runs of the game. It was a great hit and Abbott was loudly cheered. The field was muddy and fast playing was impossible but the fans who did not show the yellow and who attended the game were well rewarded. Sioux City for four days now. The official score: TOPEKA.

Thomason partially redeemed him self for his error, by a remarkable piece of fast fielding in the ninth. Wil liams hit against the left field fence but Tommy was right after the ball and by a quick throw to second held Williams on first. Geier's second error of the game came In the ninth inning. With a run ner on first, Shea who went to bat for Biersdorfer hit to Kunkel who threw to Geier to catch the runner. Louis Phillippe dropped the ball. Des Moines played a good fielding game considering the condition of the field. The only error was Dw-er's muff of an easy fly, of which he seemed too certain. r The first balk of the season was called on Biersdorfer in the sixth. Hendrix walked and Biersdorfer start ed to throw to the plate and then start ed to heave the ball to first. Fenlon made a nice catch in the eighth on a long drive which was right on the right field foul line. Sandy Grlswold of the Omaha World Herald says that Bader of the Des Moines club Is swelled up. This may or may not be so. But It is a certainty that he hasn't done much in the series Just closed. During the four games he was up sixteen times without a safe hit. And yet he is said to be leading the Des Moines team in batting. Wichita 7. Oinaiia t.. Wichita, Kan., June 29.

Stronger, larger and more exper ienced than ever, Stanley Ketchel goes against Billy Papke again July 5 in San Francisco for the fourth meeting of this classy pair of middle weights. The battles of Ketchel and Papke will go down as some of the most notable in ring history. One year ago this time both were claim ing the middleweight title. Ketchel met Papke on his own stamping ground at Milwaukee and drew a de cision in ten rounds. Then came an other battle at Los Angeles Labor day, and in the thirteenth round, for the first time in his career, the seconds were tolled off over Ketchel and Papke was winner and middleweight champ. Then came the return battle in which Ketchel shattered all tra ditions by returning a winner, knock ing out Papke In the eleventh round. Since then Ketchel has come fast. His wonderful showing in two battles with O'Brien have put him In a posi tion to claim the first chance at Jack Johnson. Papke, on the other hand, made a very sorry showing against Hugo Kelly in a Los Angeles bout during the winter, and was being counted among the has-beens until he returned a little over a month ago and nailed Kelly In the first round of their Frisco bout. It startled the fans and backed up Papke's claim for a fourth battle with the holder of the middleweight title. He is confident for this fight. Those gathered at the Frisco ring- siae independence day will watch very closely the opening of the battle. The man who gets in the first solid punch has won in the previous fights. It's a cinch that they'll go after It hard from the start in this bout. In one way Ketchel is the surprise and wonder of the pugilistic world. He can apparently make the middle weight limit at any time he so de sires, but should he so desire could enter the ring at close to 180. HAVE TRADED CATCHERS. Lincoln Exchanges Sullivan for Jack Zalnsky. Lincoln, Neb., June 29. The Lin coln and Denver clubs have traded catchers. Sullivan joining the Griz zlies and Zalusky becoming a Green backer. Zalusky is to report to the Lincoln club tomorrow in Wichita. The Hogriever-Pritchett trade is hanging lire as Hogriever is holding out on reporting to Lincoln. Western Association.

Des Moines at Denver. Omaha at Pueblo. Long, whom Topeka released a few days after the season started is hit ting at the terrific rate of .208 at Springfleldi Mo. Long started the practice season in Topeka -with an average something like .683, but fell oft fast as soon as the pitchers commenced to throw curve balls. According to the Pueblo papers there is a likelihood that Hogriever will not report to the Lincolnites as he doesn't like the trade a bit. If that Is the case the sooner Lincoln quits trading with Pueblo the better it will be. Lincoln traded Bonno to Sunville and hSsn't received anything in return. The Pueblo directors have express ed satisfaction over the record of Manager Lew Walters, who has had charge of the team since Hogriever faded from duty in Topeka. Jimmy Williams, the veteran in fielder of the St. Louis Browns was offered the Pueblo team free of charge providing he could get away frora McAleer, according to the Pueb lo Star-Journal. But Jimmy has wired the parties who made him the offer that he can't get away. Patricio Bohunkus Bohannon is playing first base for the Denver team in the absence of Christopher Colum bus Lindsay, who injured his ankle in making a quick turn. And Patricio is ho novice on this sack and can hit them about as well as the average first .baseman. David Warfleld Sanders seems to be the most consistent winner on the Omaha team, and yet they say that Sanders "hasn't got a thing." In the game he pitched in Topeka the fans saw one thing of which he was pos sessed and of which most pitchers are not, and that was a good head and control. One thing which has Impressed the Topeka fans after watching thirty or forty games In the Western league Is that the pitching in the class A cir cuit is but. little better than that of the old Shively circuit. But the field ing is away to the better. There are better hitters and there Is more in side baseball- Taking it all in all. the class A game is much more pleasing to the fans, all of whom agree that the recent assertion of Dr. Shively that there was no difference, is ill founded. .Cy Young III, who went to the big leagues a little over a year ago irom Wichita and who is now hurling for Dr. Jason down at Oklahoma City tore two of the ligaments in his right arm last week, and is out of the game for awhile. Cy is getting along pret ty well at Oklahoma City, Very few people know it but Arthur Fenlon, the hard hitting left fielder of the Topeka club is a former foot ball star, having played as nan duck at 'ohraolia when Bender. Borg. Cot ton, Benedict, Mason and a number of the former Cornhusker stars were making their reputations. Fenlon played for two seasons. He is also DoniisinF rf Arts from Nebraska uni versity. Incidentally he is one of the most satisfactory players in the 10 peka team.

Vi n h.o Timmv beat at the bat and is probably as fast as Jimmy on the bases ano in tne iieiu, uiuutu that is not disparaging Austin in the least. Des Moines Tribune: The Wichita papers were assuming a "holier than thou" attitude in regard to the pub lication of attendance figures recently. But during the recent Des Moines se ries they proved to be just as much of prevaricators as the rest of us. Denver Republican: Herman Long, once the premier infielder of the Bos ton baseball team, is in the city, hav ing come west in the search of health. Denver patrons of the game will re member when Long played with Des Moines in this league. Though his arm 'was reported a "goner" and he was showing the effects of his many years on the diamond, he was yet one of the grandest fielders ever seen in the west. Today Mr. Long will go over to North Denver, where he will remain for some time with Frank Selee, formerly manager of the Chi cago team in the National league, and later will go out to W. I Eventt s farm, where he will rusticate for sev eral months, in the hope of regaining lost health. Since arriving in Denver, Long has been holding daily levees of baseball fans, all of whom have been anxious to shake his hand and wish him return to the most robustness that man can have. Honus John Wagner Kunkel is probably the youngest player on the Topeka team, being twenty years of age This is but his second year in the game. McManus, wno is Dy com mon consent tne oiae&i team is 28. He admits that much himself.

Billy Smith, the McPherson short stop, is showing his pluck by playing the game with a spiked hand. At Lyons the ladies of the town have formed themselves into a rooting organization and sing sentimental ballads at every game. Think of each team using three pitchers yesterday, says the Salina Journal. And the Journal adds that it showed each manager was working his head. And the pitchers were probably working the managers. Jokerst, the pride of Great Bend, is laying off with an injured finger. This catcher is probably the best in the league, not even excepting Bill Maxey. Forsberg has been released by the management of the Clay Center team as being a pitching non compus mentus. Carl Mallon, the old Aggie pitcher, is working for Abilene in the Kansas State league. Gill Is pitching some great ball for Junction City and is already being rated as one of the best in the Central Kansas circuit.

JUNK 29. 1909. RAILR0AD NEWS. Santa Fe Consider Many Im prorements on Coast Lines. Are Planning' Enlargement of San Bernardino Shops. ON PAR WITH TOPEKA I. C. Hicks Transferred to New Position at Los Angeles. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Ban Bernardino, CaL, June 23. The report that Master Mechanic I. C. Hicks will shortly be transferred 'to Los Angeles and a position oi super intendent of shops inaugurated, with Jurisdiction over the local Santa Fe mechanical facilities, has been official ly affirmed by J. W. Kendrick, second vice president of the company. On July 1 H. S. Wall, present mas ter mechanic of the Arizona division will formally take charge of the San Bernardino shops as superintendent and Mr. Hicks will then shortly move His headquarters to Los Angeles, leav lag Mr. Wall to take direct charge of the affairs of the mechanical depart ment in. this city. The new arrange orient is the same which has been in force at Topeka and Albuquerque for years and will greatly facilitate in the supervision of the mechanical depart ment of the division by relieving the master mechanic of a considerable por tion of the direct responsibility of over seeing the work of his various subor dinates. The announcement was a portion of an Interesting and pleasant interview with Mr. Kendrick, who with General Manager A. G. Wells, Superintendent of Transportation C. B. Strohm and Superintendent J. R. Hitchcock, was on a tour of inspection of the division. Mr. Kendrick, who as the head of the operating department of the entire system and consequently in a position to know exactly what is pending, freely discussed various subjects of interest to the public and frankly confirmed or denied numerous reports and rumors concerning the policy of the Santa Fe. After confirming the report that the position of superintendent of shops was to be established here Mr. Kendrick elated that although the new shops and addition to the mechanical facilities v. ere coming he was unable to say ex actly when. "Yes, the new shops will be built but I am unable to state exactly when. It all depends upon conditions. We have recently, as you know, snent a large 8 mount of money in improvements here in erecting the roundhouse, viaduct and other structures. The date for the building of the new shops has been indefinitely postponed," is the way Mr. Kendrick put the matter and from which it is evident that although the new shops are coming, they occupy an uncertain date in this future. When asked if there was anything in the report that the Santa Fe was plan ning on building into Salt Lake City, the vice president denied that the com pany had any intention of entering the field for a portion of the Utah busi ness. "Salt Lake is completely out of our heat." is the brief manner in which the official disposed of the subject. He likewise denied the recent vague rumor, caused by the finding of survey stakes paralleling the Southern Pacific from east of Banning through the San Timoteo pass, that the Santa Fe was contemplating a new line from Parker, Arizona, into Los Angeles. According to Mr. Kendrick, the com pletion of the Arizona California rail road from Parker to the main line at Bengal, has been indefinitely postponed. MANY BIG RAIL ORDERS.

BEST WHEAT CROP SINCE 1906. Harvest Commenced In McPherson County Monday. McPherson, Kan., June 29. The harvest in McPherson county, said to be the best wheat producing locality in Kansas, began Monday morning, according to Thomas C. Dick, presi dent of the McPherson Elevator com pany. He declared that the yield this year would average more than fifteen bushels to the acre. "This will be the best year since 1906," said Mr. Dick. 'That year was an exceptional one, and the yield was then nearly twenty bushels to the acre. Last year it was thirteen or less and in 1907 itwas fourteen. There are 161,000 acres in wheat in McPher son county this year according to art estimate recently made from the as sessor's report. "Everything bids fair for a good crop. Of course the kind of grain is now merely a conjecture. It is thought that there has been a little too much rain for a good full sized berry, but that remains to be seen. We look for excellent wheat at any rate and it will bring a dollar a bushel. "There is hardly any chance of wheat selling less than a dollar this year, and the probabilities are that there will De enougn or it so tnat tne price will not go much higher. The consumption has reached that place where it is as great as the production. and in the years to come we may look for higher prices on all farm prod ucts. Mr. Dick said that the farmers were well supplied with harvest hands In his county. "They began coming In several days ago and there is no de mand tor men in our section, in ract, many were leaving for other localities." WHEAT FINE NEAR LAKE. Harvest Commences and Farm Hands Are In Demand. Lakin, Kan., June 29.

Logan, who has 30 acres just north of town, will soon begin har vesting his wheat, and it bids fair to exceed the yield of Campbell's farm. The cereal in the county is in good shape, as a rule, and predictions are that It will average 15 bushels or bet ter. The beet thinning season, with the alfalfa crop being harvested, and the wheat harvest almost here, shows a dearth of labor, and hands are in de mand on every side. SATS WIFE FOOLED HIM.

Now this court would liave done society a better service if it had rendered a judgment to this effect: ''Served her right." Let no voter forget the fact that the time la at hand now for the signing of the petitions requesting Mayor Green to call a special election to decide whether or not Topeka shall try the commission form of government. Only six hundred signatures are really needed on the petitions but it wouldn't be a bad plan to get a few thousand names on them. Jeff Davis of Arkansas says the United States senate Is no place for William Jennings Bryan. It's too small for him. This is something of a calamity for it reduces materially the important niches In public life that are open to the gifted Nebraskan. The people have already decided no less than three times that he Is too small for the presidential chair. According to a decision by Judge Dana of the district court it is unlaw ful for insane patients to be confined In institutions within the city limits. Presumably this same dictum of law will apply to the county Jail where In sane persons are kept for long and short periods of time because there is no room for them at the state hos pitals or the state hospitals refuse to accept them. If the state guaranty deposit law is defective to the extent that It will work out to the disadvantage of the state banks as compared with the plan of the national banks for the Insuring of their deposits, a special session of the legislature should be called by all means to remedy these defects. All of the bankers in the state should be n the same plane on this most im portant subject of guaranteeing de posits. Bishop McFaul, of the Roman Catholic Clocese, of Trenton, N. J., has denied the statements credited to him in which sttacks were made on the morality of the students in the large American uni versltlea in the east. No one with any perse b3lleved for a minute that Bishop McFaul made such statements. Yellow Jovrnals have a way, peculiarly their own, of twisting a prominent man's ut tcrances so as to make sensations out of them. African buffaloes may now be said to lie undergoing the process of benevolent assimilation which has been used with ucn a fine exterminating effect on the buffaloes and also the Indians which N once enjoyed life on the western plains of the United States. Colonel Roose velt killed three more of them before breakfast the other morning. The Smithsonian institution will have to put up a special pavilion covering at least an acre In which to house merely the Buffalo specimens of the Roosevelt hunt. And, then, possibly, it will have a few stuffed buffalo hides to let. Here's one effect of revising the larlff according to the Aldrich plan. Because of the proposed increases in the wool schedules the dealers in men's clothing, so it is reported from New Tork, have decided to add nearly 100 per cent to the retail prices of their wares. It is naively remarked in the dispatch telling of this fact that the clothing sellers "look upon the situation wtih much satisfaction." Why shouldn't they? But their satisfaction Is more than offset by the chagrin which rather overwhelms the con sumers of limited purses. C. L. Davidson, who is mayor of Wichita under the commission form of government, which has been In operation in that city since April, says: "It is yet too early for anyone to form an intelligent Judgment as to the final success of the commission plan In Wichita, but I know this much: we get more work done now in a week than the mayor and council under the old plan used to get done in a month." And that's a mighty good reason why Topeka should try the commission form of government. It's the delay In handling most of a city's affairs under the old, complex system of municipal government, that greatly militates against their successful ac complishment. LAYMEN RIVAL DOCTORS." Confirming the recent statement of Dr. William Osier, that the anti-tuberculosis campaign is no longer a battle for the doctors only, the National As sociation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis issues a statement to day. In which it is shown that over 45 per cent of those enlisted in the White Plague War are laymen. The National Association's member ship, consisting of nearly 2,500, and rep resenting every state in the Union, Is composed of 54.6 per cent doctors and 45.4 per cent laymen. In the local and state associations, however, through out the country, the percentage of lay men averages considerably over 50 per cent. The National Association de clares that this fact is peculiarly sig nificant, as Indicating the rreat popu larity of the anti-tuberculosis move ment. Twenty-five years ago, when the campaign against tuberculosis was started in this country by Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, even the doctors laughed at the movement. Gradually the medi cal profession realized the possibilities of an organised fight against tubercu losis, and In 1904, the National Associa tion for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis was formed by the Amer ican Medical association. At that time the percentage of laymen in the asso ciation was only 12.9, and very few per sons were Interested In the campaign against this disease. Today, according to recent figures published by the National Association, churches, schools, labor unions, wo men's clubs, fraternal organizations, and state legislatures, Interesting fully 8,000,000 people, are all allied In the campaign against tuberculosis, and In addition to these, laymen of all classes of society, and in every branch of so-! cial and Industrial life, are uniting against this one common foe. Every day sees hundreds of new re- i crults In the war, and every day brings new methods for the fighting of the: plague. The National Association pre-! diets that if the present degree of in- terest Is maintained, .within five years everybody In the United States will have been Informed on the way to pre vent and cure tuberculosis, and con cerning the Infectious nature of the disease. Two things In particular are needed, and for these the National Association! Is working in every way. They are, a! more complete registration of tubercu- j losis cases, and the further isolation of dangerous advanced cases of consumption.- I XO CHAXGES SEEDED. -Advices from Washington Indicate now that there is little of foundation to the recent rumor that Representa tive Charles F. Scott, of the Second Karsas congressional district. Is slated to succeed James Wilson, of Iowa, as secretary of agriculture In the Taft cabinet before the year Is out. Mr. Wilson makes It known that he has nc intention of resigning his post In the near future unless his resignation is requested. There Is little reason to believe that It will be. because "Tama Jim," as he is fondly known, has ren dered distinguished service In this of fice, even If he has been a little off oc casionally or agricultural matters as they relate to Kansas. This may be looked upon as good news all around. Kansas would feel honored with one of her sons in the presidential cabinet and Mr. Scott has the capabilities of filling the chair of secretary of agriculture with distinc tion. But :r his present Influential posi tion as chairman of the committee on agriculture of the house of representa tives he is really In a better position to favor the agricultural Interests of the country than he would bo as secretary of agriculture. Somebody might be ap pointed to succeed him as chairman of the agricultural committee who would not be In such sympathy as he Is with the development of the agricultural in terests of the nation in all of their piany particulars. A secretary of the United States de partment of agriculture would not be able to accomplish much in his line if his plans for the Improvement of the agricultural conditions of the country did not roceive favorable consideration from the hands of congress; If the na tional ?aw-makers did not provide him with the funds necessary to carry out bis projects; and If they also did not have the inclination to suggest by leg iriation certp.in projects of their own making for the betterment and develop ment of agricultural affairs. ,The bulk of the congressional work In this respect la done by the agricultural committees of the senate and the house of repre sentatives, and since Mr. Scott has been al the head of the .'atter committee the greater portion of this work has been done by it. So in hU present capacity Mr. Scott 13 doing a yoeman's service for agri culture. It Is not too much to say that he and the other members of con gress who are deeply Interested In this question of such vital Importance to the whole peorle of the United States, have helped n a great measure to make the success which has been achieved of late years by the federal department of ag riculture. And this is said with no de sire or intent to disparage in any way the work of Mr. Wilson. TOPEKA'S BALL TEAM. It is not an unusual thing these days to hear local baseball fans, or rather those Snllviduals who like to be con sidered as such, deliver themselves of severe criticisms of the general all around playing of the members of the Topeka team. And while this depart ment Is rot any better informed on baseball than It is on a variety of other tc-pics, it wbuld appear that the Topeka ball players are doing even a little bet ter than might have been expected of them. They now stand fourth In the race for the Western League pennant -and the leaders of it are not so many points away from them somewhere around 55 points to be more exact. This is con siderably nearer than hailing distance, and Is a much better position than the teams In fourth place in the major leagues now find themselves. In the National League, Cincinnati stand3 fourth in the percentage column of games won and is more than 200 points behind the leading team, Pittsburg. Cleveland occupies fourth place In the American League race and Is about 140 points behind Detroit, the leader. It Is probably well within the truth to say that the fans of Cincinnati and Cleve land are not going out of their way to call their baseball piayers poor ex ponenta of the national game because they are occupying fourth place in their respective leagues, and not nearly as good a fourth place as Is held by the Topeka team in its league. Time, money and the hardest kind of clever work is -needed to perfect a win ding aggregation of ball tossers In any league. It is not the work of one year, either. Baseball promoters In various cities have been working for many years with this end In view without accomplishing it. BU some of the baseball "enthusiasts" of Topeka do not seem to realize this. They appear to think that the Topeka team on enter ing faster company than It has ever traveled In before should have started out at, or tight next door to, the head of the league and remained there. This r.ot being the case, they are sorely dis gruntled with the work of Dick Cooley's squad and are airing around their views to that effect on all possible occasions. They ought to be denied the privilege of going to the ball games. If th To peka team finishes at the end of the season in as good a position as it now is, it will have done all that could rea sonably have been expected of it. And the team would probably do better if it were treated with more generous criticism, which It honestly deserves. In the barber shop, cigar store and drug store leagues. It doesn't help ball players or any other class of Indi viduals who are doing their best and trying to do better to have Indiscrimin ate fault found with them. And this is not the treatment that the Topeka ball players deserve. They are doing very well and they ought to get a little ap plause for it. JOURNAL ENTRIES There's little consolation during hot weather in the thought that it might be hotter. This is most satisfying. The snobs of society seldom if ever amount to anything else. Some songs would be just fine If the words to them meant anything and their tunes had any semblance to music.

From the New York Press. Most of the queerness of women's hats is on the outside; of men's on the Inside. A boy does pretty well in college not to learn to dress like a welsh rabbit dream. Sometimes a girl will accept the judgment of her father, unless It is about a man. The reason people can have such big families is they don't know how to raise them. A woman would rather never have had a husband than admit it was her only proposal. A. i KANSAS COMMENT COUNTRY TOWN BASEBALL. Many country towns in Kansas have baseball games on Sunday, and to some of them admission is charged. If it is wrong to play baseball on Sunday in one place, it would seem that it is equally wrong to play baseball in some other place. They talk about the cities being "tough," but it is a fact that a very large number of towns in Kansas barred baseball' 'while apparently there Is no restriction whatever to Sunday baseball in the country. When the anti Sunday baseball bill was up in the leg islature, a great many speeches were made in favor of it by farmers who said that the Sunday ball games in the country were demoralizing and disor derly; that they often served as an op portunity for bootleggers and keg par ties to do a flourishing business, and very often wound up in lights and Drawls. We don't know of any such complaint in Saline county, but the big argument in favor of the anti-Sunday baseball law which was made in the legislature was that the Sunday games in the country were inclined to be dis orderly. Professional baseball as play ed in the cities is kept free from rowdy ism by the police; it Is noisy, but in Kansas, at-least, there Is little drink ing and gambling, in which respect the professional ball game in the city prob ably has the advantage over a good many ball games in the country. There may be no way to stop Sunday baseball in the country, when It is not played by professional players, but there is certainly as much necessity for stopping it as there is for stopping the professional, .games conducted un der strict police supervision In the league towns.-Sallna Journal. BREWERS' AGREEMENT FALLS FLAT. For some time the Brewers' associa tion has been making the plea that It will do all in Its power to clean out disreputable saloons and resorts and it has blamed the low dive for the pres ent prohibition wave.- At a meeting of the brewers In Atlantic City week be fore last they came out strong against whisky and in favor of beer saloons which should be conducted In an or derly and decent manner. This same plea has been made in the fights in In diana and Ohio where counties have re cently voted on local option. At Youngstown, Ohio, the brewers and wholesale liquor dealers won their fight last week and the town is wet. They made the promise there that if prohibi tion should be defeated they would clean the city of its dives and they have failed to keep their promise. It is stated that while the local dealers want to carry out the promise eight of the state brewers will not agree to the cleaning out of the dives. It has been the .history of the fight against liquor that saloons can not be conducted in a decent manner. Of course there will be a few in every town where they are allowed which will lay down a set of strict rules and follow them, but where one does this two will not.

Wichita Beacon. FROM OTHER PENS A SANER FOURTH. It is remarkable, when one gives the subject any thought, that the movement for a quieter, saner obser vance of the Fourth of July has not made more rapid progress. The ancient Egyptians are held in horror by many good people because they tossed one young girl a year to the crocodiles in the belief that the rise of the Nile depended upon it. The worshippers of Moloch sacrificed a few boys to that cruel god of fire on rare occasions of dire distress; the Athenians, for a time, according to a doubtful legend, sent 10 youths a year to Crete as the price of 6afety for the rest; but the sacrifice of a mistaken patriotism in this enlight ened land and in the Twentieth cen tury far exceeds anything that history has recorded for the ancients. Ac cording to the figures compiled by the Chicago Tribune, more than 500 lives have been sacrificed in the celebration of the anniversary of independence In the last 10 years, and nearly 80,000 have been Injured. But the figures of the American Medical association, made later In the summer, show a much more terrible account to be charged up to the observance of the day. When tetanus, or lockjaw, has had time to develop, the fatalities are frightfully Increased. Manchester Union. COMPETITION AND THE TARIFF. If you ever are troubled about the high and increasing cost of living you have reason to be Interested In re ducing the protective tariff.. But you may never have thought of one aspect of this problem that contributes much to the cost of living. Indeed, this as pect, which Is scarcely of lower duties in congress, should be commanding enough In Itself to bring about sound tariff revision. If it is true that competition Is the life of trade, that necessity Is the mother of invention, then it is also true that when an industry or a line of trade is strongly sheltered by the tariff anel made independent by monopolistic combination it is not stimulated to per fect Its machinery. Its scheme of opera tion. Its Internal economics, as it would be under strong comp""'tlon. It is a fact that in many particulars European manufactures are better in quality and workmanship, and yet cost less in the making even leaving out the consid eration of labor because the competi tive system constantly spurs the manu facturers to compete In quality and prices. So long as there Is competition, the public gets large benefits. Under a system of monopoly and protection there is no competition in either qual ity or prices, and the industry gets all the benefits, while the public gets all the Injuries. The consumer buys In ferior articles at excessive cost. Kan sas City Times. COMPENSATION.

A Paris contemporary has been In structing Its readers how to live to a good age, drawing its conclusions from the lives and writings of dis tinguished men. Michael Eugene Chevreul, the cele brated French chemist, who lived 103 years, was always very frugal in re gard to his diet and considered a happy disposition to be an important factor contributing to his long life. Victor Hugo had a tablet on the wall of his house with the following: "Rising at 6, dining at 10, supping at 6, retiring at 10 make the life of man ten times ten." The secret of Moltke's health lay in his great mod eration In all things. Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson declared that those who wished to reach a century must neither smoke nor drink. They should eat sparingly of meat, work as little as possible by artificial light, trouble themselves little about making a fortune, and never allow ambition to rule their lives. London Globe Rattlers Terrorize Ship. A message from the southern Pa cific steamship El Alba, which de parted from here Friday evening bound for New York, says that four of a dozen big rattlesnakes are prac tically in charge of the vessel and that the crew has taken to the rigging and refuses to come down. Capt. Quick and two other officers, when about 75 miles from Galveston Island, vainly tried to corner a reptile which had appeared on deck -and drove the crew to quarters and other places of protection. The officers of the ship are anxious not to kill the snakes except as a last resort, but the sailors have mutinied against coaxing poisonous rattlers back into their cages. They want the snakes killed before they will return to their duties. The snakes were captured in the lower Rio Grande valley, and twelve of the largest specimens were sold to a New York dealer. Six broke out of their cages. Two were recaptured, but four big ones are now terrorizing the ship. Galveston dispatch to the New York Herald.

TNE EVENING STOR Y The Rescue of Ruffles. By Virginia Blair.) Social distinctions were not closely drawn at Crag house. .The tables were waited on by. the daughters of wealthy farmers, who served only be cause they wished to escape the monotony of country life for a month or two, and because they wished to be in touch with the gaiety and color that the city guests brought to the mountain resort. Ruffles was not a farmer's daugh ter. She was a child of the city, swept to Crag house by a wave of chance. She had worked in a de partment store in town, and her health had failed. The doctor to whom she went spoke of the mountains. "I can't afford to go," ialted Ruf fles. "Go and play waitress for a while," suggested the keen-eyed doctor. "Then you can earn something and get well at the same time." He gave her a letter to the proprie tor of Crag house, and poor little frightened Ruffles fled at once and found the place a paradise after the heat and noise of town. As time went on, however, she dis covered that she was treated as a stranger and an alien. She was neith er fish nor flesh, neither guest nor daughter of the soil. She was an un known girl from the city and the country girls kept in their own circle, gave barn dances and mingled with their own friends, while the hotel guests danced in the ballroom and never thought of the little maid who served them. There was one woman, however, who watched Ruffles with interest. "She is a pretty little thing," she said to her husband. "Who?" he asked idly. "The little girl who waits on our table," said Mrs. Witherspoon, and that night she called Ruffles into her room. "If you will fasten my dress," she said, "I'll be awfully grateful." "I can always come In and fasten your dresses," said Ruffles, shyly, "I'd love it. It's lonesome after supper, and the evenings are so long." "Why don't you go to the barn dances?" Mrs. Witherspoon asked. "Nobody has invited me." Ruffles stammered. "You see, I -don't belong to the country set. I'm a kind of out sider." "Poor little thing!" was Mrs. Wither- rpoon's mental comment. But aloud she said, "Isn't Mary Granger friendly? one seems a nice girl. "No," the blushes flamed over Ruf fles little face. "You see, Mary is different. She has always had things. And she only waits on the table here to get the extra money and the fun. But oh, well, I'm different." "How different?" "Oh, I'm poor, and I live in a cheap part of the city when I'm home and n.y clothes are shabby, and I haven't any folks you know how people feel "I think It's verj' snobbish of them," Mrs. Witherspoon said Indignantly. 'Well, anyhow, you come here in the evenings, end help me into my things aud we will have some comfy talks "Indeed, I will," Ruffles' eyes shone "How good you are, Mrs. Witherspoon." Ruffles went downstairs and sat on the porch where she could see the hotel guests in the ballroom. She watched the women in their dainty gowns as they whirled past, and then, because she wa3 very lonely, she put her head down on her arm and sobbed. "What's the matter?" asked a voice out of the dark. "Oh," said Ruffles. "I I didn't know any one was here." "I came to find my sister," said the voice again. "I am Frank Granger. When they told me she had gone home I thought I would watch the dancing and then you came and I heard you cry iig and if there is anything I can dc There was such an honest ring in his voice that Ruffles answered straight from the bottom of her heart. "No- there Isn't. But I am crying because I am lonely "Are you one of the waitresses?" "Yes. I am Ruffles." He .ve a quick exclamation. "I've heard Mary speak of you. You are the little sl2k girl from the city and they called you Ruffles because of the dress you had on when you first came." "Yes." Ruffles remembered the hu miliation of that old gown, with the cheap black flounces. "You haven't been to any of the barn dances?" "I haven't been Invited." "You haven't? Well. I'll see that Mary asks you' to the one at our house tcmorrow pight." "Oh, please." Ruffles begged, "don't. It might look as If I was trying to push in." "Well, I guess not." said Granger, ouickly. Mother wants you. I heard ber tell Mary last night that if you weren't strong you ought to come to our farm for awhile, and live on milk and eggs." "And what did Mary say?" Ruffles S-He laughed. "Well. Mary said that if you weren't too proud she would be glad to. ask you." "What?" Ruffles gasped. "Why why I thought she didn't like me." "She thinks you are wonderful," the strong voice went on, "but she says you are from the city, and ha.ve such dainty ways and she is so big and awkward "Oh, oh," Ruffles was laughing out of sheer joy. "If she feels that way I should love to go to the barn dance." "Well, I'll get you the Invitation," said Frank simply, and held out his hand. "Be sure come early." Then he went aiway, and Ruffles stood there with the whole world changed. s "Oh, Mra. Witherspoon," she said to that little lady, as they passed each other on the stairway, "I am going to Mary Granger's dance tomorrow night." "Really?" the pretty lady gurgled. "Come into my room and tell me about it. Bob Is going to .stay down and smoke and we will be alone." Ruffles rparkled and glowed as she told whit Frank had said. "And now," said Mrs. Witherspoon, when the tale was ended, "what are you going "to wear?" "Oh," Raffles caught her breath, "I don't know. I haven't anything but shirtwaists and dark skirts. And most of the girls wear white." "Well, you are not going to wear white," said little Mrs. Witherspoon. She went to her closet and begun bur rowing among the gowna that hung there. At last she found what she sought, a rosy flounced gown of mull, made in childish fashion. "There," she said, triumphantly, "you are going to wear that. It doesn't look too fine for a girl in your position. But It was really an awfully expensive thing and It's too small for me and you will be the belle of the ball in it. Ruffles." And as if Ruffles' cup of happiness was not full enough, the next morning Mary Granger came straight to her, and put her arms about her. "Frank was telling me about last night," she said, affectionately. "If you only knew how I have really wanted t be friends. Ruffles!" And Ruffles put her head down on Mary Granger's shoulder, and positive ly cried with happiness. But that was not the end, and great er happiness came from the rosy ruP fci sown ana Mary Granger's friend ship, for, after the season was over, Ruffles was invited to spend a month at the farm. Day after day she and Frank Granger walked in the October sunshine, and talked of many things. But the thing of which they talked most was love, and after a time of marriage, and one day when they came Into the big living room at the farm house, there was such a wondefful light in Ruffles eyes and such a color In her cheeks that Marv Granger put her arms around her. "I am going to be bridesmaid," she said. "Oh, Mary!" Ruffles parried. But Frank laughed Joyously. "I have told her that I will not put It off," he said. "It is going to be next month." So they were married; and Mrs. Witherspoon came to the wedding, and her gift to the groom was a picture of a little maid In rosy gown with ruffles from the waist to the hem.

Cleveland Leader. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Living too high has laid many a man low. Many a man is stilted who Isn't very high up. It isn't the henpecked husband who lays for his wife. Some girls wear their hearts on their sleeves, and others are heartless. It is just as well to believe only half you hear, and then half of that. It is possible to reach a man's heart through his stomach, but it's a poor way. Many a rich man labors under the delusion that he can right himself by writing a check. Don't pose. The poet doesn't wear his hair long simply because there is no short cut to fame. When a man's character hasn't been formed before marriage It will seldom be reformed afterward. "Blood will tell," quoted the Wise Guy. "Yes, If some woman doesn't tell first," added the Simple Mug. A man never realizes the full sig nificance of the old saying about feel ing like a fish out of water till he attends his own wedding. Happiness is merely a qualifying condition. One man may be happy simply because he isn't as unhappy as some other fellow. The only time to hesitate about tell ing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth la when you are convinced it is going to hurt somebody. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News.J The straight and narrow path the fire escape Most people are willing to do their duty as they aee It. Some people take steps for a di vorce at public dances. The grass widow may feel blue, but she never looks green. Why is it that a large man always takes a small woman seriously? Don't force your advice upon peo ple whose friendship you care for. An honest man never has to hire a press agent to put the world next. Fortunate Is the woman who know that her husband Is as smart as she thinks ha is. A millionaire can say more In ten words than a penniless man can in ten thousand. A man could earn several dollars with the energy he generates in try ing to borrow one. The small boy enjoys coasting, but the average man can go down hill fast enougn without a sled under him.

Miss Graham is said to have put Into a seemingly dry sub ject much that is witty and humorous and has actually made of it "living arithmetic" as the title suggests. In an entertaining manner she traces the history of the various terms found in the arithmetic. This lecture follows a concert by Marshall's band, and a sec ond appearance of the North side horus which made such a favorable lm pression on the opening night of the Chautauqua. This morning Prof. John E. Cameron talked to a large, class of interested nature students which included both cbildrei and teachers. Birds and flow ers were discussed.

Since then it has be come known outside of the club that the veteran will not play ball again this season, although no official an nouncement has been made to that ef fect.

A committee of miners was appointed to confer with Joseph Fletcher.general superintendent of the Cherokee and Pittsburg Coal com pany yesterday. Mr. Fletcher informed the commit tee that he was not in a position to accede to their demands, as he was obliged to stand by the action of the operators.

IS WELL IMPRESSED However, Suggests That Some Houses Need Faint. Garfield Fark Landing Platform Completed. A visitor to the Chautauqua Bald this morning: "And the North side is a great place. I was wonderfully im pressed with the musical talent of this portion of the city as shown by the North side union choir which has been singing at the Chautauqua meet ings. I think it has been one of the best advertisements for the push, en ergy and ability of the people of the First ward that I know. "I am also more than favorably impressed with the appearance of the North side, with its neat residences surrounded by well kept lawns and shaded by trees along wide, well- paved streets. "It is wonderful, the courage of the North eiders who have made so much progress against such adverse and discouraging circumstances. "However, there Is one thing I would like to say. not as a criticism. but just as a suggestion, and that is several of the homes are somewhat in need or paint. Perhaps a visitor. as I am, will notice this more than a resident, and I must say that from the standpoint of a person who is look ing for a location, that neat, freshly painted houses have a wonderful In fluence in inducing people to purchase property. Of course, the owners mav have their own reasons for neglecting their property, but it seems to me that it would be a paying investment to paint up houses that otherwise pre. sent a weather beaten and unattract tive appearance.

H 0V7T OADV E RTI S E Willam B. Finney Talks to the Ad Club. Responsiveness to New Brings Success. Ideas QUESTION OF POLICY Keep Well Within Moral Lines, He Says. Ulan Who Doesn't Believe in Ad vertising Can't Grasp Ideas. At the rather poorly attended meet ing of the Topeka Advertising club held at the noon hour in the new and at tractive quarters of the club, adjoin ing the rooms "of the commercial club. William B. Finney of Kansas City gave an address on "Retail Advertising." Mr. Finney is connected with the H. W. Kastor Sons Advertising Agency and has had wide experience in the ad vertlslng- field. In the absence of the president of the club. Mr. E. W. Rankin, Mr. J. L. "Vin cent presided. Mr. Finney's talk was to the point. and gave some valuable suggestions to retailers. The speaker said in part: "Advertising is a matter of re sponsiveness to new ideas. Kansas City is much more progressive than St. Louis on account of its adaptability to new ideas and thorough belief in ad vertlslng. "In Kansas City we have a paper which has done much to build up the business interests of the city. It is the Kansas City Star. This paper prints more lines of advertising than any pa per in the country with the exception of two. "It is only where the papers advertise the business interests of a town that the air of responsiveness can be de veloped. "The success of an advertising cam paign depends largely upon the amount of advertising in the papers, wnere advertising is done the business inter ests are prosperous. "I believe that a auestlon of policy is a most Important thing for retail ad vertising interests. Advertising along moral lines is most effective. It is im portant to any advertising man to make up his mind that he will strictly adhere to moral lines. I believe that a merchant will in the long run make far more money by advertising truth fully. "A great many merchants have many bur train sales selling $1 goods for 67 cents. I think bargain advertising is bad advertising. When a merchant says he is going 'broke' and will offer goods 'below, cost' the public does not believe him. Merchants should make people want their goods because they are good. "I believe in talking quality, and not advertising a 5 pair of shoes lor fi.su. "How much space should be used to ten my story? There. is absolutely no flwfl standard of space, but .space, is a factor a big factor. I would say use plenty of space enough to tell your storv convincingly and then add on a littln for the general effect. "The auestion of spending too much money, however, comes up. I believe hat in nine times out of ten when mer chants complain of not getting business it is the landlord who ia getting the money and not the advertising medium. It is simply a plain business proposi tion nothing mystic about It, and some merchants expect to get wonder ful returns for nothing. "I believe in advertising. If a man does not believe in advertising it is because he can't grasp ideas. Firms fall for various reasons, but I don't know of any man who has failed by consistently advertising his gooas. WANT ANOTHER CHANCE. Kansas Natural Gas Company Applies for a Rehearing. The Kansas Natural Gas company and subsidiary companies have ap plied for a rehearing before the tax commission in tne matter or tneir as sessment and this hearing has been set for this evening. The assessment totals about 12, 000,000. The gas company, in its motion for a rehear ing, declares that its assessment is "Incorrect, unjust and unreasonable." That the increase is too much, by four nundred per cent. The Kansas Natural wa3 increased $600,000 over last year while the Peo ple's company had their assessment reduced $12,000 and the Kansas City Pipe Line company was reduced $556, 000, so the total Increase was only about $40,000. The state tax commission will sit as' a board of equalization July 14. Henry Allen's appeal on the assess ment of $100,000 against his Wichita Beacon will be heard on that date. There will likely be several dozen mis cellaneous appeals on assessment to be heard by the board between July 14 and 18. STILL DYING FROM HEAT But the Weather in Eastern Cities Has Moderated.

DROVE TO LECOMPTON Then Took the Train for Kan sas City. Peg Leg McClafferty Offers to Pay the Damages. William Donovan, partner in crime with "Pegleg" McClafferty in the profitable dispensation of intoxicating liquors at 200 Kansas avenue, hired a livery rig just before police court opened last evening when he and "Pegleg" were bonded to appear, and drove hurriedly toward the city of Oakland and disappeared. Never before has a patient of Joseph Reed failed him and the judge is greatly put out. Reed has a per sonal acquaintance with his clients and trusts them implicitly, securing their bonds for them repeatedly and never losing a cent. This Donovan, however, was a new one to him and he took Peg's word for him. John Grief, who furnished the bond, also took Peg's word. The bond was for $500 and upon the nonappearance of Donovan, Judge Urmy declared his bond forfeited. Honest Partner McClafferty with tears in his voice asked as he witnessed the nonappearance if he should "pay now" and began to get his roll un furled and though his lawyer stopped him, it is evident that he will bear the loss. This readiness on the part of Mc Clafferty aroused the suspicion of the police that it was a fixed affair. The rig was secured from the Benton barn on Monroe street. Today the chief received a telegram from Lecompton which explains the story. After driving the horse nearly to death, Donovan hitched it to a rack at Lecompton and boarded a train Arriving at Argentine he stopped long enough in his flight to send a telegram to the agent at Lecompton that a strange horse tied there in the street belonged in Topeka. Mr. Benton said this morning that he supposed all the time that "Peg leg" had the horse, as it had been got ten for him. "Peg" is expected to pay any damages on the rig besides the forfeited bond toegther with his forth coming fine and imprisonment on six counts. "Hey, chief, I want to get that case. of beer you got or mine, 'mat s lor my own use," emphatically announced Mrs. Robert Kneteler, as she strolled into the police office .at court time. "Here, officer, lock that woman up for investigation," promptly respond ed the every ready, wily chief. Something of a murmur went around the office as the Jailer sprang to the task of booking the lady on that excellent device Investigation." But that was not all. "Here you," he "turned to a detec tive, "make me out a search and seizure warrant for 423 East Crane street. Let's see. if she can bluff me out." That's her residence.- The excitement was all a result of the arrest of one Gilbert, an express man, last week while engaged In the business of delivering a case of beer, charging him with "investigation" and piling the beer down cellar with the ordinary disorderly booze. "Why didn't you come after me, continued the abused lady. "Because you saved me the trouble and came of your own accord," politely answered the chief. As the Jailer led her upstairs to spend her little 24 hours' "investiga tion" provided for such felonious cases, she snapped at the jailer, "He thinks he s awtul smart. Meanwhile the chief looked up her time for a former sentence of selling liquor and found that she still owed three days which he might keep her for if he cared to. But the lady could not be squelched so easily ana shortly had Ed Me- Keever in consultation with the result that Judge Dana of the district court presently issued a writ of habeas corpus for the perusal of the chief and Jailers Hopkins and Smith. At tne time .Henry ttayiess, county Jailer, was alone and the attorney had to hold down the Job while he hurried over to the city prison with the writ. ine cmer had. gone home to euoDer. Hopkins was alone but lost no time in confronting the Judge of the district court to explain the detention of Rena Kneisler. Thereupon he was ordered to release her by 6 o'clock or prefer charges and let her go on bond. "That was so near 6 o'clock," says the Jailer, "that I had to run to get back in time to let her out." The complaint was at the time being maae out in tne omce or the city at torney. Chief Eaton says: "If I had been there I would not have hesitated to make the charges against her. There are enough of them from which to draw a preference." The delayed warrant was served on the woman this morning and charges her with twelve counts, eleven sales and one nuisance. A search warrant for a block sup posed to be owned by the Kneislers was executed this morning by Ser geant Ross, Detective Lawson and Pa trolmen England and Bryant. The house at 324 Crane street was the big gest Job, as it included the residence, cement stone offices, work benches and innumerable and strange equi page. Another house at 419 was searched likewise. Nothing was dis covered. "No, I didn't buy no whisky. That was Jamaica ginger," said Bush Carper today to the police judge. Bush and another fellow had a powerful cravin' for the booze last night but Bush alone was satisfied. The other fellow gave Bush a dol lar to go and get some whisky and watched his messenger board a street car. He did not come back however and the other fellow started to find him and that dollar.. And he did, but Mr. R. L. Carper was in no con dition to return to anybody. Twenty five cents he had spent for a Jag and the rest he had In his pocket. The other fellow-., was rightly sore and in revenge p-honed the police to corns and get his faithless pard. It was thought that Bush had some where found the whisky until he dis abused the cops of the suspicion against the drought in the city by acclaiming that it was Jamaica ginger. He was fined $15. There is a deeply. involved circle of relationship involved at the police court. Harry Clark charged with as-1 f''' j1 sault upon A. E. Swanson, a street car conductor, is his victim's half-step-nephew-in-law. Swanson lives at 1304 North Kansas avenue. A .Mr. Hawver, his fatherin law, lives at 1107 North Kansas ave nue or the two live just across Kioue street diagonally. Harry Clark is a step grand son of Mr. Hawver and his mother is a half sister of Swanson's wife. Mr. Hawver's daughter. Harry boards with his step grand father but there is no room for him to lodge there so he has a room at the residence of his half aunt, Mrs. Swanson. Now Swanson has run on the North Topeka-Lowman Hill car line and also has twenty minutes for lunch shortly after noon. It is his habit to abuse his wife severely, so say her many relatives. Yesterday at his usual hour Swanson-came home and stewed around some and Clark took up the matter for his lady relative. Swanson is reported to have drawn back his best arm when Clark landed a vicious right to the eyes which Swanson exhibited to the po lice Judge for a warrant for the ar rest of his violent far away relative. Clark will be tried in the evening session. A half bushel of vagrant bees at tracted the attention of Jailer Hop kins last evening as he wended home ward after his day's work about 6:30 p. m., of swarming above the excavations for the new Thompson building at the corner of Fifth and Kansas avenue. Slowly settling, the vagrants sank tumbling over and over into a corner, of the dirt walls and there perfected their close organization. Someone who knew their line of talk lost no time In mak ing their acquaintance and succeeded in carrying them away to his prison hive and for some reason no one thought to go closer to ask his name or to detain him In his capture of the desperate outlaws.

Tillman Tries to Secure a Duty of 10 Per Cent But Fails. TTaBhington, June 29. Senator Tillman's amendment to the tariff bill providing- for a duty of 10 cents a pound on tea was defeated this af ternoon by a vote of 18 to 65. Senator Tillman lost no time today in renewing his effort to have a duty of 10 cents a pound placed on tea in the interest of the tea growers in South Carolina. This being the last of the amendments to the schedules to be proposed while the tariff bill is hpforn the senate in committee of ihe -whole, there was much interest in its croRTess ana a aesire iu imot-h to a conclusion. i.veijuuuj O.IIAIUUD Carolina senator was full of his sub ject and wanted to speak. That he proceeded to do, telling of the superior quality of the American grown tea, of the enormous profits made in the imported article and of the possibilities in case the domestic industry should be properly fostered. In reply to a question, he said he believed that with the duty he asked for the south would not only be able to supply the entire American mar ket but would eventually export a large quantity of the leaves that pro duce the popular beverage. t 1 1 L 1 1 J iiauh n n as a means of furthering the infant t"a industry and ne was Birontsiy cup ported in making that suggestion by Senator Smith of Michigan, who de clared that a bounty would be a prac tical method of obtaining the result desired, although he Knew 01 no in stance in which the protective tariff principle would be more properly set in operation. Mr. Tillman responded that he did not propose to be caught in advocating a bounty. He would not accept a bounty, he said, if a dol lar a pound was offered. He was not seeking any selfish adnta f South Carolina, but wanted to benefit the entire country. With two mild speeches in favor of the duty by Senators Heyburn and Carter, which were much diluted with protection ingredients, the debate for a time was not especially animated, but there was a slight warming up when the Democrats began to align themselves against the proposition of their South Carolina colleague. Senator McLaurin, the uncom promising Democrat, was the first to oppose it, as he did vigorously. Sen ator Owen added his voice in opposi tion declaring that tea was now pro tected by the tea Importing monopoly which keeps the price fifty cents a pound higher than it would be with out that monoply. Senator Shively insisted that it was fallacy to claim that the development of the tea growing industry In this country would be served by such a dutv, and was opposed to it. A Republican vote from the south was pledged to the duty as a protec tive measure bv Senator Bradley from Kentucky, while Senator Bailey gave it his support purely as a revenue raising expedient, at the same time denouncing as unwarranted the taxing of any man to make another man's business .profitable. When Mr. Tillman began his ad vocacy of the South Carolina tea in fant industry yesterday he used apologetic language in introducing that propaganda upon the attention of the senate; but as the proposed duty was bandied about the chamber today, its importance and strength appeared constantly to be increasing and Senator Stone brought forth an amendment to prevent it applying to "Tea sweepings." This suggestion was accepted as a part of the amend ment by Mr. Tillman. LING HAS A BROTHER. THIS SETTLES IT. Aldrich Says He Will Support the Corporation Tax. Kansas City Detective Hears That He Is Living in St. Ixuis. Kansas City, Mo., June 29. In spector of Detectives Kdward Boyle here today declared that he had in formation from a Chinese source that Ieon Ling, the alleged murder of -Elsie Sigel has a brother living in St. Louis. The information was secured, he said, from a St. Louis Chinaman who was in Kansas City yesterday. In spector Boyle wired the New York and St.- Louis authorities of his dis covery but in the meantime declined to make known the names of his in formants. In the revelations brought out in connection with the murder the fact that Leon had a brother had not entered into the case before today. Washington, June 29. In the course of an answer to questions in the senate today Senator Aldrich said he would support the corporation tax amendment as a means to defeating the Income tax. He expressed the opinion that the corporation tax would De repealed after two years or the rate materially lowered. Many people defied the torrid weather and went to the capitol to day to see started the first senatorial battle for an income tax. The heat, if possible, was even more intolerable than that of yesterday, yet a larger number or senators entered the cham ber and all were clad in the coolest garments obtainable. Buckets of lemonade in cloak rooms received frequent visits. For the first time the pages were attired in childish shirt waists, and they presented each sena tor with a palm leaf fan as he en tered. The day's session began with a de mana ay senator Beveridge for a roll-call In response to which 55 sen ators answered to their names. Messrs. Aldrich, Bailey, Borah, feet to get recognition from the chair, feet t get recognition from the chair. Senator Brown endeavored to obtain unanimous consent to take up the resolution reported by the finance committee for the submission of an income tax amendment to the consti tution to the several states. Demur ring to this suggestion. Senator Bail ey pointed out that such a course would be in contravention of a unan imous consent previously recorded for the consideration of his income tax amendment. Remarking that he thought it would be well to at once get out of the way the question of the constitu tionality of the income tax. Sen ator Brown did not press his request and no action -was taken to interfere with the course agreed upon for disposing of the Bailey amendment. To more clearly map out the cam paign entered upon. Senator Aldrich said the finance committee had de termined that the offering of amend ments to the schedules of the bill while in the committee of the whole should not continue further at this time as they could be brought forth by senators after the bill reached the senate in 'a parliamentary sense. To give force to that purpose he said he would move to lay on the table any other amendments that might be of fered at this time. HAS IT GONE TOO FAR? Question of the Health Board Ex ceeding Its Authority. Judge E. R. Simon of the court of Topeka, has intimated that certain features of the board of health rules and regulations may be declared in valid. His remarks on the subject were occasioned by the trial in his court Monday of the Anderson and Armstrong commission firm, charged with hauling cherries and offering them for sale on the streets, without protecting the fruit from flies and. dust. Judge Z. T. Hazen represented ithe commission firm, and County At torney Sehenck prosecuted. The principal argument was whether or not the .board of health had over reached itself in its interpretation of the Dure food laws. The board or health framed up a sanitary code, based upon the state law, and the de fense in this case intimates that the board was stretching a point when it included waeons as the law itself had no special provision of the kind, The case was taken under advise ment by the court, and a decision will be given later in the week, ALL TO HOSPITALS.

Recall and Franchise Referen dum to Be Explained. i town at noon before and who come to I i i i s i I wards and who are desirous to meet their friends and business associates. The restaurant men of Topeka are up in arms because this lunch is being served at noon. They lo not seem to appreciate the custom of the Topeka club when other clubs over the country are conducting their tables as a mat ter or business and they are making plenty of money atr it. The Topeka Commercial club is not trying to make money they are simply conducting this noonday affair for the nurnose of gathering the business men together and keeping up the interest of the work or boosting Topeka, The menu furnished the State Jour nal every day is for" the information or tne members or the Commercial club and is in no way an advertise ment of the meals served at the club cafe. There is no disposition to hurt the business of the restaurant men of Topeka and the business is not affect ed in any way unless for the good during the Merchant's Week hundreds of out of town merchants spent their money at the Topeka restaurants! At a meeting of the municipal legisla tion committee of-the Commercial club today in the room of the Commercial club it was decided to circulate through the city of Topeka scores of petitions for the commission form of government and from now until the time for the election in September these petitions will be placed in prominent places in the city for the signatures of those who desire the new form of govern ment. It was also decided today to postpone the red hot campaign which has been threatened for such a long time. It was thought at first that series of speeches would be made in the Audi torium this summer. But at the meet ing today it was thought that simply a campaign with petitions would be con ducted during the hot summer months and when the weather was cooler the big fight would be taken up and speakers brought to the city. It may be planned, however, to bring a num ber of speakers here to give speeches before the Commercial club and the campaign conducted with a more thor ough knowledge of the form in this manner. Some time. the last of this week the committee decided to send out through the business district of Topeka twelve youne men. members of the Commer cial club. These young men would have in their possession forms of the petitions and secure as far as possiDie the signatures of all business men. It is thought that once the business men take a hold and push the reform move mentthe rest of the people in the city will fall in line. These young men will gather in the Commercial club rooms tomorrow and receiVR a series of instructions from the "older heads" and then they win start on the streets with their line of talk and their influence, it is piannea to have these young men go up and down Kansas avenue and through the Santa Fe offices. All the business houses on the side streets will also be visited. Some of the larger office build ings in the city will be solicited and their contents registerea. It is known in Topeka that a large number of the laboring men in the Santa Fe shops and among the unions are against the corar'-sion form, of government. It has been presented to them in poor form and they are under the impression that to do away with tho citv council is to do away with their representative rights. The colored people of the city are also radical in their condemnations of the new form. All that is needed is a little informa tion on the subject and the municipal legislation committee proposes to let them know of the real good of the new municipal government. The commis sion form really gives the laboring irM Just what he is looking for the privi leges of the recall ana tne ciose grant ing of franchises. When they are in formed of these facts it is hoped that there will be little trouble with their vote. Men from the shops, and from the unions will be chosen to give the correct information to the respective classes. Of course, when the real campaign is on the public meetings at the Auditorium will give these men a good chance to see what they are vot ing for. What the committee wants to do now is to have the petitions signed up properly and make their influence When the petitions have been circu lated actively among the business men and the offices it is planned to place them in all the banks in the city and in the" newspaper offices. Here they will rest permanently for the sig natures until the real campaign. The committee decided on one thing that will be a treat to the people of the city who have teen wondering about this commission form of government for some time. John Dawson, secretary to Governor Stubbs, F. G. Drenning, oir-citv attorney and City Attorney Ralston will get together, boil down the Kansas law and get it up) in such a manner that it can be read easily and quickly by the reading public. It will then be furnished the newspapers. "Then we can have the whole thing in black and white." said J. B. Larimer. "The neoole over the city want to know all about this law and the newspapers can not afford the space for its reprint ing. I think this committee could get out a mighty readable article," and the committee thought the same. Those who attended the meeting to day were J. B. Larimer, Mayor William Green, Councilman C. E. Jordan, Albert T. Reid, City Attorney Ralston. H. A. Scandrett. L. S. Ferry, ciaa namuion. C. I. Hamilton. A. A. Godard and F, G. Drenning were appointed to confer with the women in Topeka concerning their ideas on the commission. At Wichita the Commercial club not only serves a noon day luncheon which lasts from 11:30 until 2 o'clock in the af- afternoon but from 5 o'clock in the af ternoon to midnight the club serves a short order lunch that is the best pat ronized and the most popular in the city with a reputation for serving the finest meals and the cleanest orders. It is patronized by everyone with no re slrictions whatever. In Topeka the Commercial club serves but once -a day and that a very short time at noon. The lunches are only pat ronized by the members of the Com mercial club and their friends. As a general rule the men who come to these lunches are men who never ate down The menu for the noonday 'luncheon at the Commercial club tomorrow will contain the following palate tickling articles: Cold sliced beef. Breaded tenderloin. Potatoes. Scalloped corn. Corn bread. Tomatoes. Onions. Lemon nip. Coffee. Ice tea. Milk The real estate men are having a great time trying to decide whether they should permit advertising in Sun day papers or not. It is the opinion of the Real Estate exchange that no real estate man should offer for sale, take out for inspection or advertise any real estate whatever on the Sab bath day. There was no. action taken on this matter, but they came to the oral conclusion that this would be the only proper course to take! Topeka is carrying out her "Blue Sundays" per fectly and this Is simply another move in the direction. At an informal meeting last evening the real estate men even decided that they would be willing to walk to church on Sunday anything to keep the Sunday law in good shape. DEFICIT FOR THE YEAR. Expenditures Exceeded Receipts by Nearly $100,000,000. Washington, June 29. The excess of government disbursements over re ceipts for the fiscal year to date is $93,173,000. This sum is likely to be reduced by tomorrow's transactions to approximately $92,500,000. The customs receipts for the year will fall bui little short of $300,000, 000. The gain in customs receipts over last year will be about $15,- 000,000, with a loss of about $3,000, 000 in Internal revenue. The surplus for June probably will reach $5,000,000. WHEAT PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT A. I. Sponsler Says Central Counties Will Have a Biff Crop. A. L. Sponsler, of Hutchinson, former president, of the etate board of agricul ture, now editor and. iarmer and sec retarv of the Reno County Fair associ ation, came to Topeka today on busi ness and was perfectly willing to be Interviewed on the wheat prospects of his section of the country. He looks for as good a wheat crop this year as was enioyed last year. -The wheat from Hutchinson clear to Manhattan looks very good, according to Mr. Sponsler. He took a trip by auto tnrougn Jc Pherson and Rice counties recently and saw some fine -wheat fields that looked to yield 16 to 24 bushels to the acre. Wfst from Salina and on through Ells worth, Russell ard Ellis counties there Is one -eea of wheat all the way but this wheat will not yield very much to the acre, possibly only six or eight bushels. Reno county raised over 3,000,000 bush els of wheat year before last and 2,325,- 000 busfiels last year. Little old Reno's farm products brought over five mil lions last year. HIS NECK WAS BROKEN.

There is a growing desire on the part of the young of both sexes in China to choose their own mates. Fathers and mothers are therefore called upon by the Chinese to uphold the old rules. Children, says the Chinese board of education, should have nothing to do with a choice in succh matter. How ever, a very grewsome picture is sketched by a native editor of the mis eries that abound in China on account of the way in which marriages are ar ranged, and it is contended that young people should De allowed to have some choice. The board of education also main tains that "the three obediences," and the "four virtues" must be extolled. The "three obediences" are: The daughter must first obey her parents, then her husband, and then her son The four virtues are chastity, proper language, devotion to household work, and proper demeanor. Apparently, if the present trend of things is allowed, these old rules will be ignored. The Chinese assumption that a woman must not be heard of outside the door of her own house is now being criticised by up-to-date Chinese editors.-Chieago News. I.ady Aberdeen Detroit's Guest.

8 f HE TOPEKA DAILY STATE J CTTTAE TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1909. GUILTJS-FIXEO Coroner's Jury Returns a Ver dict in Woodill Case That Eastman Killed the Wom an or Was an Accessory. A CLOSED INCIDENT Authorities Announce They "Are Through With It. Apparently There Is Nothing More to Be Learned. St. Michael, Md., June 29. With the compromise verdict of the coroner's Jury that Robert E. East man either killed or was accessory to the murder of Edith Mary Woodill and the declaration of State Attorney Taylor, that he was through -with the case, the strange dual tragedy which )iaa for nearly a week focused the Mrs. Edith May Thompson Woodill, Who eyes of the entire country upon this little out-of-the-way hamlet, became a closed incident today. Four of the twelve jurors who listened to the testimony at the re opened inquest refused to sign the verdict and the words "or accessory to the crime" were added to the draft which, approved by the majority, bluntly accused Eastman of the mur der. None of the four dissenting Jurymen would say that any other person than Eastman was responsible for the girl's death. They merely wished to protest, they said, against the manner in which the inquiry was conducted, declaring that much available evidence was not adduced. The letter left by Eastman for his Wife, in which he declared that Mrs. Woodill had been killed by a woman in a Jealous frenzy, was not read to the Jury. The officials seemed to take it for granted that all of the evidence unearthed since the finding of the body was well known to the residents of the community and that It was unnecessary that it should again be rehearsed. The Jury sat for a time in the bungalow itself, with Eastman's unmarked grave not fifty feet away. Mrs. Eastman had visited th nln.ee earlier In the day and had stood dry-eyed for a time beside the nw!v made mound. The final theory for the authorities in thlsr That Eastman was in need of money; that he had been getting money from Mrs. Woodill for some time; that he undoubtedly knew something of her past life and that he had been blackmailing hr; that he attempted to continue this practice and that the woman reDenea. in tlmatlng that she, too, had found out certain things about Eastman, ana that if driven to it would expose him. rnstniMi'a dread of serving a term in the penitentiary is well known. His wife has said that he told her he wnnlrl rather commit suicide than be confined in prison. The pawning of the Jewelry the autnonties set aown n tVin desirn of Eastman to get away. When cornered the man decided that his race had been run and that he had better make an end to it all. As to whv Mrs. Woodill went to the huneraiow there was no evidence. An Interesting development was the finding of the scraps of a torn letter in the cracks of the bungalow floor. Little of sense could be made from the fragments but the writing was identified as that of Mrs. Woodill. The letter was about the visit of Knmn one to some place, to be "chaDeroned or not as she saw fit.' The verdict was that on Sunday. June n In lila bune-alow on Broad creek "Robprt E.

In testifying at the inquest George Powell related a long conversation he had with Eastman in front or the bung alow on Wednesday morning. "Usually when I passed he invited me in." said Powell, "but Wednesday he did not and I thought it a little strange Eastman sfid he had just returned from the greatest time in his lite and tnat Ihis experience would make 'great read- ling.' He said he had some girls over fat St. Michaels and had asked them if I they would not like to go to his bunga 9 low. They said they would and every- Ibodv got in the launch and started out. I A storm arose, however, and Eastman Isaid the girls got 'cold feet,' as he ex 1 pressed It. and wanted to go home. iThen thev ran aground off Bob Seth's j place. Eastman said he wanted the elrls to take off their shoes and stock A.. -..f; inis and wade ashore, but they would not do this and he waded ashore alone to get a boat. Eastman said he told Seth he had two ladies to protect in the launch. Alter getting the girls ashore Eastman said he took the girls home. I supposed he meant to their own home. He said he stole Taylor's horse and buggy to take them home and that was why It happened to be at the bungalow on Sunday. "I also saw Eastman on Monday morning anrt asked him, what he had been doing out on the water at 1 o'clock that morning. He said he had some friends In the shack and had been tell ing them great stories about the size of -the eastern shore oysters. The friends replied that they were from Missouri and had to be shown." Other witnesses added nothing new. The whole sad story seems to have been told and it is more apparent than ever that the last chapter was written when Eastman, cornered on the narrow black waters of Harris creek last Fri day morning, sent a bullet crashing into his heart. Mrs.. Eastman, widow of the suicide, came to St. Michael to claim the mon ey and property of her late husband. In absence or proof of her wedding, the authorities would not give the property up. They declined also to honor a draft of $50 by Mrs. Eastman against the money found upon Eastman. Mrs. Eastman then went out to the bungalow and stood in the yard for a time beside the grave of her husband. Some one w ntn iu-juageu numor naa Dlanted a tomato vine on the new made mound.

Two Men Shoot Each Other With the Same Pistol. Chicago, June 29. James Dorsey, 39 years old, a wealthy stock dealer of Gilberts, I1L, was shot in the abdomen and probably fatally wounded last night in an automobile at Curtis street and Washington boulevard by C C. Walk er of Fayette, Mo., a former employe of Dorsey, who is said to have in veigled the latter into taking an auto mobile ride with him on the pretense that an old score between them had been forgotten and that he wished -to buy cattle of Dorsey. After the struggle in which Dorsey was shot, he, in turn, shot Walker with the gun which he. had wrested from Walker after a struggle, wounding Walker in the leg. Walker was captur ed by the Desplaines street police, but a man whom he had engaged, it is al leged, to help him rob and beat Dorsey escaped. Conflicting' stories were told to the police by the wounded men. "We were talking over what I sup nosed were proposed deals," said Dor sey, "when I was grabbed by Walker and the other man. A handkerchief was Hprt flrnnnil m v Trinnth an that I could not scream for help and my hands t,ed witn a rope. The stranger took a diamond pin worth $300 from my tie and $30 cash from my pockets. I grappled with Walker as he left the machine and he shot me. I managed to free my hands and wrestled with him until I got the revolver. I fired as he ran away." I was determined to get even with Dorsey and beat him up, but I never intended to kill him." said Walker. "I did not tie his hands or put a handker chief over his mouth. I did not intend to shoot him, but the revolver was dis charged in the scuffle." Dorsey was shot through the abdo men. He is not expected to live. Walk er was shot through the right leg and probably will recover. DINE ON THE ROOF: Taft Entertains a Number of Public Men at Dinner. Washington, June 29.

Orsino Giacomini of the National hotel said 'You can announce to the public that this hotel will be closed on July 1. The attorney general wants to put a pad lock on the door and we will save him the trouble. The hotel cannot be op crated at a profit under the prohibi tory law.

The old time gold brick game which was so popular in the middle west two decades ago has been worked with remarkable success, according to a current police report, right here in New York city.

Working the game In the old way. a Russian peddler, who has sold goods for the Jeweler, showed him some glittering metal filings which he said he had scraped from a large gold brick in the hands of two strangers. The jeweler assayed the filings and found them to be pure gold. He fell into the trap easily for he asked the peddler to effect a meeting between him and the two men who had the brick. The result of this and other meetings was that the Jeweler assayed a number of parcels of filings which were said to have come from the gold brick and became so satisfied that he was getting a bargain that ho paid the men $5,100. When he got the heavy bag of filings home, he" dis covered that they were composed of a very heavy poor alloy of brass worth about $3.50. CHARLIE TAFT. AUTOIST.

Chicago, June 29. WHEAT Ideal weather for harvesting inspired a fresh bear raid on the market on the board of trade today which resulted in material declines from the advances of a to o at the opening. The firmness at the start was due to an unexpected advance at Liverpool, based on unfavorable weather conditions in France, Germany and Hun gary. The weather map showed clear weather generally throughout the interior states in this country and the official pre diction was for a continuance of like con ditions. Prospects of greatly Increased receipts of wheat also prompted consider able selling. The greatest selling pressure was on the July delivery and this option declined nearly 1 cent earlv in the dav. The opening on July was at $1.154 to $1.16. After selling at $L159s1.15Mi, the price dropped to $1.1494. The market became strong in the last half of the day owing: to a liberal de crease In the world's visible supply ancf to a vague report or mack rust in Minne sota. July advanced to $L161.4. The close was strong with July up 111& at $1.16 1.101 CORN Declines ol more than 1 cent marked early trading in the corn pit. The slump was due to general selling brought out by favorable crop conditions and by larger receipts than had been estimated. July opened a shade higher to c lower at Wise to 7014B7UC sold up ao 70c and then declined to 6914c. The 'market rallied with wheat and held firm the final hour. The close was firm with July c higher at 70c. OATS Oats were weaker on libem.1 re alizing sales based on the favorable weather for the growing crop. Prices at the start were a shade to c lower, with July at 49c. After touching 49c the price dropped back to 49c. PROVISIONS Provisions were quiet and easy. A five cent decline in live hogs was a Deansn factor, .trices at the open ing were 2c higher to 7c lower. WHEAT CLOSE: Julv.

THE TOPEKA &AILY STATE JOURNAIr-TTJESDAY EVENING. JUNE 29, 1909." 9 qJOCIETY It is reported that a visiting girl has pronounced "Topeka society" -the fastest and loosest" she ever knew. The visiting girl has been around a good bit and this would seem a serious in dictment unless you Investigated the statement. But as usual the girl who thus sweepingly characterizes Topeka society knows only one very small and unimportant set. No doubt what she says of that set is true. As she has bten intimately associated with Its members ever since she came to town her testimony regarding it may be con sidered expert. But to judge all the people in Topeka who may be said to constitute society (whatever that Is) by this little clique of less than 20 persons is ridiculous ana uniair. The visiting girl's chums are the sort of people whose names are often In the society columns because they gad a good deal, but this is about all you ta- say for them. The visiting girl's "fast set" includes nobody who is In any sense representative of any im portant interest in Topeka. There Isn't a prominent business man in. the bunch, which is composed of girls under 25, childless chaperons whose husbands tire never heard of, and men who have nothing better to do than to tag around after them. Although they compose the Leisure Class, (by which we mean the class which plays bridge and golf before 5 o'clock except on Saturdays and holidays) they do not employ their leisure to any advantage. They cannot sj.eak any language except their own, they never read a book worth while, they don't know what is going on in the world, they never do anything for anybody beside themselves and they l.ave no serious nor worthy purposes whatsoever The business interests of the men are centered in pay-day or remittance-day and if you asked one of them, off-hand, what bill the sen ate has been discussing for the past two months, it is doubtful If he could tell you. If they were hermits on a desert island they could not be more completely withdrawn from the vital Interests of the real world, from the forces which make history and shape civilization, than they are now, their )ies revolving in a limited orbit of 1 ridge, golf, dancing, flirtation and gos sip. This is the narrow and numerically Jrslgnlflcant set whose frivolities and excesses impress the visiting girl as typical of Topeka society. But there are other people, who if they do not r-ake gadding their exclusive business, are nevertheless of unquestioned social position, and by whom Our Best Cir cles could more fairly be judged. There is. for instance, a young widow of prominent family, both by birth and marriage, large means, unlimited leis ure, personally attractive and popular. nncess slips $1.75 to $5.00 The trend of fashion has com pelled a recourse to underwear that fits snugly the Princess slip is the result. It is the ideal garment for the woman who wishes to do all that is possible to secure the near-perfect fit of her gown. Prices are very moderate. $1.73 for Princeflg slip of Inlia lfnon. trimmed with Val. lace, ruffled flounce. $2.00 for Princess clip of India linon. rimmed with Val. lace, tuclccd flounce. $?.5Q for Princess slip of fine India li-on wih Val. lace yoke and lace enged flounce. $3.50 for a Princess slip of nainsook, trimmed with Clunylace: 14-inch flounce. $3. CO for a Princess slip of fine sft nainsook elabor ately made and trimmed. Princess slips fit perfectly. There is no bulkiness about the waist or hips.

Welcome in any society, with means to travel and no domestic ties, she still spends most of her time and money in relieving the poverty and distress of the unfortunates of her community. No one has done so much for organ ized charity In- Topeka. and her private philanthropies are unnumbered. She gives unstintingly in personal service, visiting and nursing in the homes of the poor, organizing and endowing In dustrial schools, hospitals and day nurseries, her life one of unselfish de votion to a noble cause. Then there is a girl, who, although reared in luxury was early thrown upon her own resources, who has been the main support of her family, who has renounced marriage, and sacrificed her own desires and ambitions-, but who la bright and cheerful and Interesting, without envy, or bitterness, and who has more friends than all the girls in V ...I.V... LULU. 9 U., b. .ILL. put together. Topeka "society" has two brothers. men who In youth were never more than one remove from actual want, who in their profession have achieved a success recognized far beyond the bor ders of their own state. They are among the men who have gained both money and culture. Topeka "society" has many men who in boyhood followed the plow but who, by their own ef forts acquired a university education and are "successful" to the degree of Ave, ten or fifteen thousand a year, in Topeka society was, until a few weeks ago. a girl who spoke five lan guages, had traveled widely and was uncommonly accomplished. For six years Topeka was graced by the pres ence of a remarkable couple, the man a concert pianist and teacher of un usual ability, the graduate of an Eur opean university, his wife a woman of wonderful pensonality, compelling fascination and marked originality, who was deeoly interested in philanthropy, humanltarianism. art and education and did much to advance them. They both spoke six languages fluently, had traveled everywhere, and knew many famous neorjle intimately. Topeka has many girls of good family and average means who are not con tent with idleness and frivolity and who. without the spur of actual neces sity are workers and wage earners spending the money they earn in high er education and travel. A former To neka. eirl achieved a considerable suc cess as a concert pianist. Then there is that unusual girl who, in spite of a serious physical handicap, which would have made some women miserable, pes simistic failures, has given herself an excellent education and earns a com fortable income, travels, studies, Is beautiful and well-dressed, and so glad hearted and full of the joy of life that to meet her is a mental and spiritual tonic. One of the remarkable women in Topeka is exceptionally pretty, cnic, irT-nnme-A witty, and socially pop ular. Although she likes to dance and v,riie and is the best woman goi fpr In town, she is a devoted mother and a model home-maker bes.de and r,c man leads a busier, more useful and purposeful life. What we are pleased to call society in Topeka, Kan., has many women who are notable housekeepers, who share the interests and enthusiasm of their .uKanrta and children, and still find time for a reasonable amount of social diversion, and any number of men who make money, progress in their profes sions or business, are broad-minded and liberally educated, yet who play as good bridge and golf as t.ie Idlers and are quite as presentable socially. The visiting girl's indictment, if true n or-t la not imnortant. She has not had more than a look-in on Topeka society in any large and representa tive sense.

TRANSMITTED BLOOD. Successful Operation Performed In a Chicago Hospital. Chicago, June 29. An apparently successful operation ln which a Chi cago physician save his blood to save the life of his brother has been per formed in Wesley Hospital. Dr, Jas. F. Churchill, a member of the hos pital staff, allowed his blood to be transfused into the veins of George Churchill, 18 years old, of Minnea polis. George Churchill was taken to the hospital suffering from pernicious anomie which medical authorities say is rarely cured. The disease is as cribed to the lack of red corpuscles in the blood which in consequence loses Its reproductive power and practically becomes dead. Pr. Churchill believed that the in fusion of healthy blood in the pa tient's veins might effect a cure. After consultation it was decided to try the operation. The young man has been discharged from the hospital and gone to his home, apparently greatly improved in health and ln a fair way to recover. PCXD IS ALMOST COMPLETED.

In the swel tering heat of the cabinet room, filled with expert whisky men and lawyers. President Taft labored again today with the question which the Roose velt administration found so vexing What is whisky?" The entire time of the president previous to the regular cabinet meet ing was consumed in listening to ar gument on the exceptions made to the opinion of Solicitor General Bowers covering the various phases of the controversy. "The straight whisky," representa tives had their inning at the hearing today. They were John G. Carlisle, former secretary of the treasury, and Edmund W. Taylor, Frankfort, Ky. While they agreed with Mr. Bowers that neutral spirits Is not whisky, they directed their principal arguments against his conclusion that neutral spirits mixed with whisky may still be sold under the pure food law as whisky. They maintained that such is imi tation whisky and that If the decision of the solicitor general on this point be upheld by the president, it would be sold on the market under a mis apprehension, notwithstanding the in tention of congress to legislate against all whisky that is not genuine. Mr. Carlisle devoted most of his attention to reviewing the legal decisions ln support of his position. One of these upon which stress was laid was the opinion of Attorney General Taft, father of the president, to the effect that alcohol was not whisky.

Auimals Object to Leaving Their Range in Washington. Police Think They Are Abont to Solve the Bersin Murder. New York. June 29. While the public has been engrossed with the details of the Elsie Sigel murder and the Mr3. Woodill tragedy in Maryland, the New York police report that they have been making excellent progress towards the solution of the murder of Samuel Bersin, the young painter whose head less and maimed body was found in the custody of a boy on an .-ast side street three weeks ago. Eighteen Jew ish members of the detective staff at police headquarters have been'workin constantly on the case and they have just reported the finding of evidence that Bersin was not only killed because of jealousy but also to obtain the val uable Jewelry and diamonds he con stantly wore. Although Bersin received only $12 a week as a painter, it is known that he spent considerably more than this and in their efforts to ferret out the crime, hte police sav that they expect to ar rest very soon a man who is believed to have shared with Bersin the tran sitory affections of a young woman on the east side and with whom, it is leged, Bersin had an appointment in the morning of the day he was killed. The detectives say that this man was not only Jealous of the attentions that Bersin had paid to the young woman, but that he had made covetous re marks concerning Bersin's great dis play of jewelry. When the body was found the jewelry was missing. The suspected man has disappeared, but the police say that they expect to have him in custody in a few days. A large part of Bersin's income Is re ported to have come from one of the parties who will become a most Im portant witness If an arrest is made. FROM THE FAR NORTH.

In a letter to the American Museum of Natural History, V. Stefansson, leader of a party which the museum sent out a year and a half ago to explore the arctic region, tells of his remarkable quest for a White man and woman with fair hair," who are understood to be living among the Eskimos, eight or nine hundred miles east of Colville, near the mouth of Coppermine river. Dr. Stefansson states that he believes this white man and woman to have been members of either Franklin's lost expedition in that neighborhood or of one of the lost Icelandic colonies of Greenland. He wrote that never before had a man and woman of the Caucasian race caused such comment among the Eskimos who in that vicinity had never seen white human beings and who are believed to be something In the order of deities. The letter of Dr. Stefansson which has taken more than five months to reach New York, stated that while he was snowed in during last winter, he had studied the Eskimos so thorough ly that he had mastered 8,000 words of their dialect.

Looks amount to but little in a refrigerator unless you want it as furniture! A nicely painted refrigerator may sell at a low price and waste, in one season, twice what you paid for it in spoiled food and melted up ice.

SOLD BY ALL LEADING DRUGGISTS ene size only, regular price EOtpwbotllab To the Editor of the State Journal: I notice in your issue of Saturday evening, June 26, 1909, on page 5, an article under the heading of "What Wheat Should Bring" written by one J. R. Smith, in which he tenders farmers advice .and not contented with voluntary advice on this subject of holding and demanding J1.10 a bushel, he keeps on pleading for the justice of his cause. The frequency with which this and similar articles are appearing in the papers through out this state and Nebraska some times signed by Smith sometimes by Jones and then again by Black makes the motive apparent to the writer of this article. He styles this his paramount question, "How much wheat wilUbe raised in Kansas." Mr. Smith admits there are two sides to this Question of what wheat should bring, but he seems to lose sight of all sides but his own and his article sounds very much as though he had other sinister motives which actuate him than the realization of $1.10 per bushel for wheat to the farmer. It is a well known fact that Mr. Patten, the Chicago board of trade spectulator, had delivered to him on May 31 this year, some over 8,000,000 bushel3 of wheat which he had bought on contract for which he was obliged to make settlement at that time. Now then Is it not quite rea sonable for Messrs. Smith and Patten to get into the public print and ad vise farmers to hold their wheat, knowing and realizing as they do. if farmers commence to sell their wheat as is usually done from the thrashing machine the market will decline and with such decline disappears the paper profit on their wheat, which is stored away in elevators, public and private warehouses all over this country? Messrs. Smith and Patten would have us believe that there is no such thing as a surplus of old wheat being carried into the new crop year. Now, Mr. Farmer don't sell a bushel of your wheat under $1.10 because Smith Patten have not done un loading their 8.000,000 bushels. This is another method used by these board of trade sharpers to make the farmer help them carry out their mercenary schemes and fill their coffers at the expense of 95 per cent of the population of tills country and eventually- at me expense ui farmer whose interest they would have us believe Is so close to their hearts. Smith Patten realize that they are up against a very serious problem and that is getting out of their holding of wheat at the fancy prices which they have been keeping before the eyes oi the consuming and laboring classes of this country There is one condition which has been confronting people of this country for the last 30 years and that is how to check the rapacious greed of corporations, trusts and com bines. Smith Patten have Been leving a tax and extorting the payment of the same for the last six months, piling on burdens which are too griev ous to be borne and for which as yet we do not seem to have any adequate remedv. but I will have these same gentlemen understand that there is surely a day of reckoning coming and if conditions do not adjust themselves we will have the federal government take up this matter and handle it with out gloves as it justly deserves. You will notice that Mr. Smith pleads with the farmer, to hold just 30 days, ne says, "Go if necessary, take a vaca tion," by this he means, at that time Mr. Patten and he will have unloaded their wheat and they will have starved the people to the point that they must come and pay them $1.10. Then he says, "Come back, well rested and take whatever price you can get." Mr. Smith refers to "farming the farmers," this is his method, he could have told us had he so desired to hold our wheat, but that was not his scheme. It is so now and his reasons are apparent 60 or 90 days from now it will be some thing else. If the farmers will only assist him for the aforesaid 60 days they can do as they please forever after and sell their wheat for 10 cents a bushel for this won t concern these wiley old speculators. Secretary of Ag riculture Wilson figured this problem out to a nicety some two months ago at which time he let loose some im portant facts which are well worth the time and attention of anyone who is interested. In short, he says, "That the present prices are nothing more or less than a holdup." If there is such a scarcity of wheat as these gentlemen I would have us believe, what has be- HAND SAPOLIO FOR TOILET AND BATH It "makes the toilet something to be enjoyed.

All GROCERS AND DRUGGISTS A NEW YORK FIRM WHO WONT EMPLOY GRAY HAIRED SALES MEN". IS GRAY HAIR A BAR TO EMPLOYMENT?. New York City sends out more salesmen, twice over, ln all probab ility, than any other city in the world. At an annual banquet given by a big firm to its salesmen there were pres ent some two hundred gray-haired and bald-headed salesmen. It was a subject of mournful discussion among them that the firm was commencing to prefer younger men. One old pat riarch, grown gray in the service, re marked to several gathered around him: "Here I am doing as good if not better work than I ever did in my life; yet, because I am commencing to show my age, am slated for the 'has been' division. I wish I knew of some thing that would turn my hair to the color of that of a lusty man of thirty." "Why don't you use Q-Ban Hair Re storer?" suggested one of his audience. "My friend," answered the old fellow, "I once visited the plant of a big pat ent medicine firm. On my way through one room, I asked one of the employ ers what they put up there. 'Hair Re storer,' I was told. Well. I want to say that among the employes working in that room I never in my life saw together so many gray-haired and bald-headed people." "All right," re plied the other. "I have a good head of fine brown hair, haven't I? Well, my hair three months ago, before I came with this firm, was a fine old iron gray, I used Q-Ban Hair Restor er, you see the result, and the own ers of Q-Ban Hair Restorer agreed to refund me my money if it didn't do a fine old iron gray. My wife used Q Ban Hair Tonic and it has cleared her scalp, stopping her hair from falling out, and I'll bet its Increased the j length six Inches." "Where can you get it?" "Oh, at any drug store, and the druggist will back up the guaran tee." If you are gray haired or becom ing gray, you can have the first full sized 60 cent package of Hair Restor er by simply mailing your address and 12 cents in postage to Hessig-Eliis Drug Company, Memphis, Tenn., or call at either of Marshall Bros.' drug stores, 135 Kansas avenue, and oil Kan sas avenue.

Which we all know was a normal one. For the 52 weeks ending June 24, 1909, this country exported 167,533,112 bushels as against 201,863,271 bushels in the corre sponding period last year and the price of wheat in this country was from 15 to 23 cents less than now. If these facts and figures do not tend to prove conclusively to any unbiased mind, then pray tell us Messrs. Smith and Patten, what do they show? Dear farmers, just hold your wheat if for no longer period than 30 days, a long suffering public, the hungry chil dren and toiling masses must await the pleasure of these mercenary para sites.
