Wjllie by a Hindoo Student Due to Native Unrest in Eng land's Eastern Empire. HIS SLAYER IS COOL. Has Nothing to Say When Ar raigned in Court. The Assassin and His Tictim Had Met Before. London. Julv 2. Madar Lelof Dhin agri, the Indian student who last night ehot and killed Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Hutt Curzon "Wyllie and Dr. Cawas Lalcaca, of Shanghai, at the re ception at the imperial Institute, was arraigned In the Westminster police court this morning:, and remanded for one week after being formally charged with wilful murder. In the dock the prisoner appeared quite unconcerned. He stood with his hnnrla in his Dockets and shook his head negatively when asked If he wish ed to say anything. Subsequently, however, he said that he had not wil fully killed Dr. Lalcaca. "I saw him advance and then he caught hold of me; I fired In self defense." he aeeiarea. The proceedings lasted only a few min utes, and the Hindoo prisoner was re moved to jail under a strong guard. This is the first time the methods of the terrorists have been introauceu into public agitation in England and the country has awakened into the fact that India Is in an ugly temper. The nrlsnnor whose aee is given as 28. is said to have relatives in good standing In Calcutta. At the India office the murder of Colonel Wyllie, who was a political aide de camp to Lord Morley, secre tary of state for India, is held to be entirely political. Colonel Wyllie, so far as is known, had had no personal dealing with Dhinagri and the India office view is that the outrage was due to some imaginary grievance against the system of government. Tickets Placed With Care. The National Indian association, un der whose auspices the gathering at the imperial institute was held, was formed for the purpose of establishing friendly relations between the peoples cf Great Britain and India. Sir Alfred and Lady Lyall received the guests, who numbered some 300 Anglo-Indian retired officials and students. The scene was a brilliant one. There were present many native Indians and wo men in picturesque native costumes, and with the exception of the assassin, everybody was In evening dress. Dhinagri was attired in ordinary morn ing dress and wore a turban. The tickets to the function were placed with great care in order that they might fall only into the hands of relia ble persons. It Is reported that the prisoner has made a lengthy statement to the police, setting fortb in detail his political grievances but that this is being with held until the authorities have time to make full inquiry. Nothing appears to be known at the Indian office of Dhinagri's antecedents. The Indian students generally profess detestation of the crime, but neverthe less many of them are known to be ac tive members of the London branches cf the societies conducting a campaign of sedition and anarchy in India. Had Designs on Officials. Scotland Yard recently received in formation which led to increased activ ity in investigating the movements and antecedents of certain Indian students here, who, it is alleged, had designs on prominent English officials. Lord Mor ley himself, for some time past, has been under police protection and even when he left London he was attended by Scotland Tard detectives. Lieutenant Colonel Wyllie had spent his entire life working for the welfare cf India. The Hindu came to London from Punjab some years ago. He belonged to the advance section of the Indian nationalist party, and he has been tak ing a course in engineering in the Lon don university. During the commem oration of the Indian mutiny he at tracted attention by wearing a badg" inscribed "in memory or the martyrs." Some of his fellow students taunte'l Dhinagri. who threatened to cut the throat of one of his most active tor menters. He was a hard working student, but held very advanced political opinions. He was a frequenter of India house, the local center of the Indian agitators. FYom statements made by students it appears that Dhinagri and Lieutenant Colonel Wyllie had met once previous to the tragedy of last night. Dhinagri's brother, who is a doctor in Calcutta, hearing of his association with the political extremists in India house, wrote to Lieutenant Colonel Wyllie, asking him to try to influence the student. Wyllie saw Dhinagri, but the interview appears to have only embit tered the young man, who nursed his resentment pending a favorable oppor tunity for revenge. SHE HAS MANY FRIENDS. G ingles Girl on Trial on a Charge of Larceny. Chicago, July 2. The trial of Ella GIngles, the young Irish lace maker, on a charge of larceny, was continued today in a crowded court room. Women friends of Miss Gingles, many of them well known in club and philanthropic circles, occupied front seats and took every opportunity to encourage the girl who declares that she is not a thief, but a victim of a deep "white slave" plot, with bizarre features, and even hints of murder in it. The girl was dressed in white and appeared untroubled by the great in terest she has aroused. Captain O'Brien of the detective bureau, who investigated the complaint brought against Miss Gingles by Miss Agnes Barrette, proprietress of a lace store in the Wellington hotel, testified to day. .Captain O'Brien's testimony dealt only with the larceny feature.

Dealers Must Let Inspectors Know How Much Was Sold. "It's time for the milk dealers to send In their '600 reports." sa.id Dr. D. M. Campbell, city milk inspector this morning and when Dr. Campbell is sues a warning it means business among the operators of the fountains of youth. The dealers, according to the ordi nance, must report the number of gallons of milk they have sold dur ing the month. The number of gal lons by telephone or by postal card will give the milk inspector all the information he wants. However. if a dealer has over 500 gallons he must visit the office cf the city treas urer. A tax of one mill a gallon is placed on all after the 500 mark has been passed. If a dispenser does not nave a ouu gallon report for the month of June the amount will be added to tne amount of next month with an effort to reach the high water mark at some time. The milU denot men will attend TO all of the reports going through their hands. FINED FOR BRIBERY. Both Giver and Taker in Street Pav- ins Scandal Punished. Columbus, July 2.

TAFT IS BETTER. She Is Able to Eat Luncheon With the President. Washington, July 2. President Taft is delighted with the progress rMs. Taft is making toward recovery. For the first time in six weens tne mistress of the White House ate luncheon with the president yesterday and appeared to be quite strong. Her physicians have promised the presi dent that she will have completely re gained her health within the next two months. The Dresident will take his wife to Beverlv.

In view of Mrs. Taf t s better health it Is an nounced at the White House that the president will make his Pacific coast trip during the fall. BIG BOND ISSUE. Hutchinson Sends $120,000 Worth to He Registered. The board of education of the city of Hutchinson today filed with the state auditor a $120,000 bond issue for the proposed high school for that city. The bonds will be registered at once. Some time ago the Hutchinson board tried to have these bonds reg istered without first offering them for sale to the state school commission as by law provided The school commis sion made the Hutchinson people back up and offer them the bonds. Then, there being no money for this purpose in the school treasury, the issue was declined. This formality observed in due form the bonds will now be registered and sold to private bidders and Hutchinson can begin to figure on having one of the best high schools in the west. BACK TO THE MINES. Miners to the Number of 8,000 Will Return to Work. Pittsburg, Kan., July 2. An order was issued here today by the local board of the United Mine Workers of America instructing the striking min ers in the Kansas district. 8,000 in number, to return to work pending the outcome of a conference of miners and operators. But few of the mines reopened to day in response to the order, but it is beiieved all will start up Tuesday next. Grades Don't Count. In response to several inquiries State Supt. E. T. Fairchild has ren dered an opinion that it is illegal for grades secured from normal schools or other educational institutions to be applied toward securing county teachers' certificates. The grades from such certificates must be based on county teachers examinations only. STUBBSJS FIRM. Still Insists He Will Call Session of Legislature If Only Condition Is That National Bankers Agree. DOLLEY HAS HOPES. Thinks That Agreement Will Be Reached. Call If at All First of Next Week. The question of whether or not there will be a special session of the legis lature for the purpose of ironing out the difficulties between the state and national banks over the guaranty of deposits questions is still unsettled. There 's little doubt but Governor Stubbs will call this session if the trouble is not adjusted. The governor is not afraid to call the legislature together. That body may rot agree on the remedy, may take a long time to settle the question ana may wind up in a free-tor-all fight or a deadlock, but the governor will stand pat on his call, if he makes one, and send in .messages a la Roosevelt from time to time setting forth his views on needed legislation in no uncertain terms. Then he would be in the clear whether much was done or little; whether it was done quickly or a lot of time and money consumed in the enactment of a law that should be a remedy. It has been reported lately that the national bankers are standing pat on their decision to pav whatever inter est they please on deposits, but Bank Commissioner Dolley yet has hopes of an amicable adjustment of the aim culty. Negotiations have not been broken oft as reported. Another con ferenre between the national bank lead ers and the administration leaders is being held this evening-. There is more than a possibility that it will succeed there is a Drobabilitv. Afi- nnilfv was reticent about the matter, but finally made the following statemaat: "The bankers and business rr,en of this state have too much busi ness sense to al'ow themselves to be drawn into an unwarranted contest which will do Kansas incalculable harm and the end of which no man can tore see." But on the other hand, wise and conservative politicians are begin ning to look "for a call for a special session next week They argue that as the bank guaranty law is the cause of all the troubles between the bankers, and this trouble may result in a war that will seriously cripple the business interests of the state. Now as to who is right or wrong is not the question. The national bank ers were denied admittance to the state association and were forced in self defense to organize an associa tion of their own. They take the ground that they can write their own charter and bylaws according to their views of banking and answer to the comptroller of the currency for the result. The state bankers are bound by the rigid restrictions of the state guaranty law. So the state legislature alone can adjust the trouble if both sides remain firm. Whoever is right the business interests of the state de mand that a peace treaty be drawn up and signed. If it can be drawn only by the legislature that will like ly be done. The questions upon which the call for a special session hinge are, has Gov. Stubbs the nerve, and will the national bankers stand oat? The first question can be answered in the af firmative without hesitation. The second question is as yet unanswered. Some of these bankers want to fight it out while others are willing to yield. Different versions of the bank ers' attitude are in circulation at this time. It is a case of hoping for peace and making preparation for waf. Another thing: The statement that this special session talk is all a newspaper story written by reporters hard up for news, is not true. There was good authority and foundation for the printed report that a special session was possible if not probable. The call will be made the first of next week if the dove of peace has not been released from the bank vaults by tha time. Weather Indications. Chicago. July 2. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and Satur day; not much change in temperature. w mm m The TO TAXjTOBACCO. Senator Aid rich Has Decided to Add 20 Per Cent To the Weed in All Forms, Chewing and Smoking. SENATE GETS BUSY. The Boss's Return Calls Ont a Quorum For Business. Many Petitions Come in Regard ing the Corporation Tax. Washington, July 2. The Republican members of the finance committee of the senate have agreed on a general advance in the tobacco schedule of the administration part of the tariff bill. The increase in the tax on cut and plug tobacco and cigars and cigarettes amounts to about 20 per cent over the house rates. From the way the school got down to business this morning it was evi dent that the. teacher had returned. In other words, Senator Aldrich, chair man of the finance committee, was in his seat when the senate convened and at that time there was a full quorum to proceed with business. While Mr. Aldrich did not reveal the secret of his whereabouts during his two days' absence from the senate, his complex ion was so much ruddier than it is or dinarily that it was evident that he bad put in most of his- time in the open air. His return caused much gos sip as to the possibility of getting a vote on the income tax proposition. aiost senators believed the end was near. The fact that only Mr. Bulkeley's ob jection yesterday stood in the way of fixing the vote for next Tuesday and that debate on the proposition then seemed almost exhausted, led to tha conclusion that the vote would be reached by that time, if not much earlier. Many predicted it for tomor row and some were even inclined to think that it might take place before adjournment today. Today Senator Heyburn lost no time in taking the floor to present techlncal objection to the bill. Business began with the presentation of petitions relating to the corporation tax, many of which came from the far northwest. From Spokane, Wash. 106 merchants appealed to the senate for support of the tax as proposed by the president because, as they said, it "safeguarded the private information of business institutions." The Inman Poulsen Lumber company of East Portland wanted the "pernicious cor poration tax" killed, while W. B. Ayer, of Portland, considered the proposed tax as extremely -unlair. "as it -places the burden only on the great industrial lire of the country. 1 BEAT THE HIGH TARIFF. Liners Race Across Ocean and Land Cargoes in Time. Boston, July 2. Two steamers, bear ing rich cargoes, rushed to the United States to dodge the high tariff, have came into port. The Leyland line steamship Canadian had in its hold hundreds of bales of Egyptian cotton, cases of rare wines, silks, case goods, machinery, steel, beer, chemicals and general freight. In all it had more than three thousand tons of merchan dise, valued at about $1,000,000. The Philadelphia, also of the Leyland line, from London, came up the harbor just ahead of the Canadian. It was filled with cargo, even the meat boxes being used to carry the enormous freight, much of which was rushed here to get ahead of the new tariff. PUEBLO TO HOLD ON. Business Men Will Not Let Team Go. Baseball Pueblo, Colo., July 2. It is prac tically assured that the Pueblo West ern league team will remain in this city. The latest developments appear to indicate that one or two of the 20 directors and stockholders of the club will be bought out by Pueblo business men, the rest of the director ate remaining. The matter is likely to be finally determined tonight or tomorrow. 'ew National Gam n CatfittngiLtag. POLITIGAUJOSSIP New Charges Against Radford Includes His Clerk. Both Men Must Answer For Em bezzling State Funds. EXPECTED HAPPENS. W. S. Glass Reappointed on Tax Commission. Action of. Governor Will Give General Satisfaction. Attorney General Jackson has dis missed the old case against John Radford, former head of the Kansas grain department, and has filed six new charges of embezzlement against him. The amount of the embezzle ment in these specified charges is $1,366, but it is intimated by the at torney general that the total amount of the shortage during Radford's term of office is close to $10,000. most of- which has been outlawed from criminal action. A. D. Crotts, chief clerk under the Radford administra tion, must also face six similar charges. Both men were released on $1,000 bond. Radford still protests his innocence of wrong doing and declares that the shortage was not his fault and will endeavor to prove his assertions at the trial in the Wyandotte district court. As forecasted some days ago. Gov ernor Stubbs has re-appointed W. S. Glass of Marysville as the Democratic member of the state tax commission. Judge Glass' term expired yesterday and when he called upon the gover nor to pay his respects before leaving the state house. Gov. Stubbs re-appointed him to his place on the com mission. The only knowledge Judge Glass had of the governor's intentions in this matter was contained in the State Journal story some days ago in which it was intimated that Judge Glass would hold over until a better man was found for the place, and the latter supposition was not a likely thing to happen. Last winter the governor appointed Lot Ravenscraft. Democratic repre sentative from Clark county, to the place on the commission. The west ern farmer and ex-Populist leader de clined the place. The re-appointment of Judge Glass to this responsible place will cause general satisfaction over the state in both parties and in business circles. Kansas is proud of her present tax commission and its work of administering the new tax lat-?. A Lawrence dispatch states that all the banks of Douglas county have or ganized a private bank deposit guar anty company among themselves and will sidestep both the state guaranty and national bankers' guaranty asso ciations. Now Governor Stubbs is in terested in a couple of Douglas coun ty banks and it is passing strange that these institutions should not come up close under the wing of the state guar anty Jaw. The Wichita Eagle does not see the necessity for Governor Stubbs going out of the state of Kansas for a prison expert, to take charge of affairs at Lansing and in boosting Judge E. B. Jewett. representative in the last leg islature from Sedgwick, for the place, declares that Jewett won golden opin ions while serving as warden under Governor Stanley, and Warden Mc Claughry of the federal prison, whom Governor Stubbs thinks is authority on prison matters, was among those who commended Judge Jewett's ad ministration. As a result of the investigation by the tax commission of the falling off in the property assessment in Leaven worth this year, the assessor of Leav enworth county has resigned. It de velops that the assessor was an old man and unfitted by sickness for his strenuous duties. A new assessor has been appointed and this official will go after the several hundred taxpayers of that city whose names are not now inscribed on the tax rolls. A short time ago the Shane case was reopened by the declaration that the governor had declined to pardon the old soldier from the. penitentiary. The governor's secretary later inti mated that this report .was premature sidered further. The Lawrence World, speaking of Captain Shane, who for merly lived in that town, says: "This paper is sorry that J. B. Shane was not pardoned. He was one' of the first men in Lawrence with whom we became acquainted eighteen years ago when we first came to Lawrence, and we counted Capt- Shane among our best friends up to the time of the death of young Katherman. A young man of more than ordinary promise he enlisted during the early part of the civil war and served throughout the war with distinction. At Atlanta he was one to storm the entrenchments and when found by his fellow soldiers he was trying to make his way back to the Union lines, dragging his maimed body along- by catehlne- hold of saplings or grass with his hands. That afternoon they cut off one leg above the knee and he went back to the front still fighting for his country. At Chattanooga he was deafened by the terrific cannonad ing and his hearing never recovered, but maimed and defeated he still had more energy than ordinary men. Kind hearted and generous he befriended one man after another to find them unworthy and it seemed as if the world had united against him. It was a fatal mistake for him to have kept firearms about the place, but he had become familiar with them durinir the years when fighting for the flag and become accustomed to them. The death of young Katherman was sad affair, but Shane says that he tried to fire in the air and his hand struck against the awning. He wanted to introduce this in evidence at the time of the trial but his attorneys thought best to conduct the case along other lines. Capt. Shane is now an old man, he has a brother who loves him and wants him to come to him to make his home. No more patriotic man every drew breath and it seems too bad that the final years of this old veteran cannot be spent in freedom under the starry folds of the flag he fought so hard to defend." SAYS HE KILLED HER. Murderer of Miss Brasch Confesses to Save Innocent Man. San Francisco, July 2. James Ed ward Cunningham, a laborer, has confessed to the murder of Miss Caroline Brasch. cashier for Gray Brothers Construction company, who was shot and killed in the company's ofiices last Wednesday. Cunninsrham surrendered himself because another man was under arrest charged with the crime. Cunningham entered a newspaper' of fice last night and made his original statement, which later was repeated to tne police. The detective department was not notified until early today, when representatives of the paper de livered the man into custody, togeth er with a revolver, with which the crime is said to have been committed. The original theory as to the motive for the murder is borne out by the confession of Cunningham, but the po lice, in the arrest of J. Novak, another laborer who had been employed by Gray Brothers, were endeavoring to fasten the crime on an innocent man, who chanced to be the victim of cir cumstances almost unparalleled. Cunningham, according to his state ment, entered the offices of Gray Broth ers just as Novak departed. Novak had disputed with Miss Brasch over a tri fling difference in his pay check and, failing to get satisfaction, went away in anser. Stepping before the cashier's window immediately afterward, Cunningham declares, he renewed a wrangle of sev eral weeks' standing over his check and finally shot the girl. The description of his escape from the building and the conduct of the persons he encountered, impel the po lice to believe that Cunningham, and ro other, fired the shot. Cunningham is a native of Scituate, R. I. WENT BACK FOR WATCH Hotel Employe Probably latally Burned in a Fire. Lake Placid, N. Y., July 2. The Hotel Ruisseaumont, one of the largest ho tels in Lake Placid, was burned last night. Some of the 50 guests had nar row escapes from death and were res cued with great difficulty. One man was burned probably fatally. The fire is supposed to have started in the tower. Albert Clapsaddle of I'.ion, N. Y.. one of the hotel employes who slept beneath the tower, had a fair chance for escape, but went back for his watch and was so badly burned that he may die. Miss A. O. Quinlan, who only reached the hotel from New York last night, had a narrow escape. She occupied a r'oom on the second floor and the fact that she was a new arrival led to her being overlooked when the alarm was spread. Awakened by the noise about her, she opened the door of her room only to find egress cut off by flames and smoke. She opened a window and called for help. She escaped by means of a rope carried to the floor below, thence thrown up to the frightened girl. A moment after reaching the ground, the wall on that side of the buildine fell in. The loss is estimated at $200,000. The Ruisseaumont was owned by the Lake Placid Improvement company, of which W. Z. Lamed of Chicago is president. It was built in 1833 and had accommo dations for 300 people. It was one of the largest of the summer hotels at this resort. J. W. ROBISON DEAD.

"Nothing could convince me that she wrete it. It does not sound like her. It reads as if it were copied out of a book. Only the testimony of experts would make me consider the possibility of it being written by her." George B.

I saw lots of them and wo all teased her about them and she stopped writing that way long ago. I understand the letter has the appearance of having been written some time.

This paper was signed by Alexander Radcllffe. foreman of th Jury, and three others. It says: "The state's attorney had firmly fixed in his mind the character of the verdict considered the only one a Jury could return; this before he heard the entire evidence before the inquest. We further state that the examination of the witnesses by Tur ner was conducted in an indifferent and negative manner. We hold that had Turner not lost his head Eastman would not have escaped with the( small boat to Harris" creek." KILLED HIS STEPSON. After Makinff Him Carry Lumber fori His Own Colli n.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALFRIDAY E VETTING JULY 2, 1909. KERNS JHE HERO. Topeka Catcher Put Ball Over Fence in Ninth. Inning And Scored Two Runs Winning the Game. WAS AN UPHILL CLIMB Umpire Haskell's Decisions Helped the Visitors. Locals Hit the Ball Hard in Final Part of Contest. Butch Kerns, hero. Butch Kerns, candidate for any of fice he may want. Butch Kerns, home run hitter. If there Is anything that St. Louis boy wants in Topeka. he can have it. For one little Jolt by his trusty war pole transformed an almost certain defeat Into a glorious victory for the Topeka team yesterday afternoon. Butch Kerns, AVhose Home Run Turned Defeat Into Victory. It was In the ninth inning of a hard luck game, in which every turn of the wheel of fortune added to the tabulation of the visitors while every thing worked against local hopes. Thomason had reached first base through the inability of Mr. Prom, formerly of Wichita, to locate the plate. Local hopes were running low. There was but little chance of Topeka winning the contest. One run was needed to tie the score and two to win, and it looked inevitable that within five minutes another tale of defeat would be added to the epochs of the season. But Butcherino his real name Is Harry performed his duty nobly. He picked out a beautiful one Just a little to the outside of the center of the plate, and a little below the waist line. The ball is nestling today be neath a large cornstalk in the cen ter of a field of maize north of Cooley's ball grounds. The ball was slammed over the fence about mid distant between the shoe sign and the piano sign. And Topeka is In third place. What From Saw During the Last Three Innings in the Box. After the victory had been won, a public reception was held near the Topeka bench. The players rushed Hp to Butch and embraced him with loving arms. The crowd shook his hand and the peanut venders showered him with sacks of popcorn and peanuts. Coins was tossed to him, in all aggregating nearly eighteen dollars, or to be more exact J 17.76. It is not known who gave him the penny. The game ought to have been set tled long before it -was, but adverse umpirical decisions favored Sioux City entirely too much and gave To peka the shady end of the deal. In the second inning Haskell allowed Welch to walk after a third strike had clearly split the plate. Welch scored later on Hunter's homer. Then In the fourth Inning Andreas was called safe on the plate when Kerns held the ball on him fully a yard from the plate. And so with a few decisions' like this the local fans lost heart and vic tory was the vaguest sort of a dream. Topeka started out good. In the first Inning Wooley walked and scored on Geler'a double to left field. iv fr s S.S.S. heals Sores and Ulcers in the very simplest way. It just goes right down into the blood and removes the cause, and the place is bound to heal because the impurities and morbid matters which have been tho means of keeping the ulcer open are no longer absorbed from the blood. External applications of salves, lotions, plasters, etc., can never produce a cure because they do not reach the source of the trouble. At best thev can only allay pain or reduce inflammation; such treatment ia working on symptoms and not reaching the cause. Every nutritive corrrascle in the blood is weakened or infected, they cannot nourish the fibrous tissue around tne place, but instead they constantly discharge into the flesh around the sore a quantity of impure, germ-laden matter which gradually eats into the surrounding healthy tissue and causes the ulcer to enlargo.

Welch walked throueh an umpirical courtsey, and Stovall singled placing runners on first and second. Hunter swung hard on one across the outer corner of the plate, and the Victor cleared the fence Just above the Lang sign. This is probably the only home run that ever cleared the fence that deep in left field, but the hit was for gotten after the beautiful swat of Kerns. In the fourth Inning Sioux City took another run, this too through the grace of an umpirical blunder. Andreas hit safe, and Smith beat out an infield grounder. Welch hit Into a fielder's choice and Andreas tried to score on the play to first. Abbott heaved the ball home and caught Andreas by a yard but Haskell called him safe. This so disgusted Cooley that he left the park. There seemed to be but little hope of winning and Burnum pitched only a fair game, working with the vim and spirit of a man who had been handed a package, and such had been the case. Sioux City took another little rally and edged three more across in the fifth. Smith led off with a safe one. and Edmundson reached first on Abbott's fumble of a difficult bunt. Welch's grounder caught Smith at third but Stovall scored Edmundson with a slashing hit over second base. Kerns had a passed ball and Welch scored. Stovall was caught at second, but Hunter singled. stole second and scored on Towne's slnele to right field. The locals sprung a surprise on the Topeka fans in the seventh inning however, which revived drooping spirits, aroused plenty of rooting and hooting of the umpire. With one out Wooley hit to center for a single and scored on Geier'a sweet two-bagger in the southeast corner of the field. Honus Kunkel hit one to deep right center for three bases and Geier added another run. This all helped but it didn't seem possible to repeat. Burnum tightened ud and pitched air tight ball and the home swatters did tha rest. Kerns hit one to left field good for one base in the eighth. Abbott was safe on Smith's fumble and Downle hit one to left center for three bases, both runners scoring, and Downle trotted home on Wooley's grounder to Hun ter. Then the glorious ninth opened. Fenlon, no poor hitter, was struck out through an umpirical mistake, and hope darkened, but Thomason walked and then Kerns came up. Oh you, Butch Kerns. The glad tidings: TOPEKA. Players A3 R. H.

The work of Spencer Arthur yester day was great. A single and a double out of three times up, a run and sev eral fielding stunts around first base, two especially in the ninth inning. was his work for the day. Many of the fans are now edging up to Ab bott and making some belated apologies.- Cooley controlled his temper' yes terday in the face of adverse de cisions, but he had to leave the field to do it. Kerns' hit didn't come a bit too soon. Holmes had Alderman and Freeman ready to go in and if Butch's hit hadn't gone over the fence, From would likely have been jerked in time for the next batter. Butch Kerns was "recognized" at all the soda fountains last night. Wooley plucked a good catch off From in the fifth inning which cut off at least one run. Fenlon made a long running catch in right. Smith nailed one with his bare hand in the fourth inning which robbed Thomason of a hit, just, prev ious to Abbott's two sacker. The game started with a double play. Campbell hit but Downey handled Andreas' grounder, tagging Campbell and catching Red at first. This is From's first game in To peka. although he was with Wichita for some time in 1906. Some may term the finish yester dav a lucky one. But It was the lack of luck that took the first two of the series away from Topeka. The Topeka team has made a creditable record in the series with Sioux City despite the two defeats. To lose by one run with a crippled team in which turee men are out of position, and with a good hitter out of the lineup, is no bad record. Geier's absence in-, the outfield cripples that department. Fenlon 13 lost In right field, while Thomason Is away out of class In left. Cooley guessed rightly before the game. About fifteen minutes before the start, he turned to Kerns and said: "Butch,- you work today, and mavbe we can change our luck." Cooley became disgusted and went home after the third inning and so missed the first real excitement of the season. Kerns received a crisp $5 bill from Superintendent Fox of the Santa Fe after the game. Wichita 6-4. Lincoln 1-3. Wichita, Kan., July 2.

WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Lincoln at Topeka. Sioux City at Wichita. Omaha at Denver. Des Moines at Pueblo. Jimmy Cuthbert, who once played with Topeka, and was also at different times with Webb City, Springfield, and Oklahoma City, is now playing with Peoria in the Three Eye League and is hitting the ball hard. According to Tom Fairweather, the pudgy secretary of the Sioux City team, Sioux City is the best ladies town in the circuit. Every day there is .n av erage of between three and four hun dred ladies paid admissions, while one ladies' day the attendance of feminines on ladies day was l,7UO. mere are a few lady fans so loyal In their patron age of tho game, that they purchase tickets even on ladies' day. What is the attraction now that Dallas Alder man is married? Red Nagle will Join the Greenbackers in time to pitch the morning game against the locals on July 5. There is another story in connection with that Pueblo club, which the Pu eblo Elks are trying to keep in Sunville, This is to the effect that the manage ment has not only been offered to Lew Drill, but to Jimmy Ryan, the old Chi cage outfielder, who probably was one Oj: the greatest outfielders the game ever knew. Both Drill and Ryan have professed a willingness to take the club providing satisfactory arrangements can be made regarding the finances. Sioux City Journal: The Pueblo Star- Journal wants someone to give any kind of a reason why "Ducky" always man aged to miss Pueblo. We can give one. He stated last year, after the Pueblo crowd mobbed Umpire Brennan, and the police locked up a visiting newspa per man from Sioux City a chap who weighs about 120 pounds and charged with inciting a riot that he would never visit the town again. He has kept Lis word, although he realizes that the rewspaper boys out there have conclud ed that hj isn't the savage they once painted him. That's about all, except that he was needed here to help ar range for the flag raising day, and the recent trip to Pueblo gave him a chance to go to Chicago to see about a pitcher. Pueblo Chieftain: 7n referring to Roy Corhan the papers over the circuit usually speak of him as being the sec

Captain ond best shortstop in the league. Most of the scribes give Gagnier a shade over Roy. After seeing Gagnier and Corhan work here for four days the local fans can't see anything to it but Corhan. He gets short flies and diffi cult grounders that Gagnier wouldn't get near and his arm is much stronger BTid more accurate than the Lincoln star. If a few of the "dopesters" around the circuit could see the two shortstops work against each other they would soon change their opinions as to who is the fastest shortstop in the league. Two former Western Association play ers are now with the Helena team In the Inter-Mountain League. Stis, who was with Springfield in 1907 and who could riay any position on the diamond, has the club and is playing second base. And Irby, who was with Joplin In 1S0S and who showed up exceptionally strong as a batter, is with the same club per fcrmin? in right field. The Helena club Is leading the league. Emil and Pete Kauser. the two fam ous Haskell and Carlisle athletes, are 1 laying ball with the Minco, Oklahoma seml-professlona; team. Jay Andrews has signed young Minor "ramer. a youthful Oklahoma pitcher who pitched four no-hit no-run games out of five In which he recently worked. Locke, the youngster, who Is with the Pueblo team, is said to be the most peppery player In the Western League. Sandy Griswold In the Omaha World Herald: Glenalvin, he of the solid ivory skull, is still masquerading on Tiperino O'Neill's staff. Duck Holmes has a new pitcher, whom he may spring on Topeka to day. He is George Clark, a Sioux City high school boy. big of stature, and a southpaw. He will make a bid for the hole left in the pitching su.ff by Steve Melter. Pueblo Chieftain: Umpire Glenalvin has certainly made a good impression on the Pueblo fans by his work as ar bitrator hrr-? since his initial appear ance. He got off bad at the start, but since Friday his work has been entire ly satisfactory to every one. His judg ment of close plays on the bases is es pecially good and he is beyond doubt one of th3 best officials seen here for a good while. Harry Eclls. a former Western Associ ation and American League pitcher. Is still taking a vacation to rest up. He v. as going badly early In the spring and asked Ducky for a layoff for a month. He writes Ducky that he is in good condition and he is expected to Join the team on the return to Sioux City next week. Jack Haskell .has a solution for the longevity of the game this season. The veteran un'pire lays It to the pitchers. This season finds the pitchers weaker than any other season In recent years Their control is bad. and they are not up to the fctand of the remainder of the teams. Consequently they walk many men each cay, and get In the hole, on the batters with great frequency. More kits are recorded and this means more men on bases, and more mlnutei neces sary for each inning. With the present dearth of pitchers there is but little chance of remedying the protracted games, according to Haskell. Haskell says he has worked in but two hour and a half games this season.

Harvards time was 21:50; Yale 22:10. By this victory Harvard won her see in twenty-eight years. Not siene 1880 in twenty-eight years. oNt since 1880 and 1881 has Harvard won two con sectuive races from Yale. Captain Cutler of Harvard Crew. The greatest crowd that has ever assembled here poured into New Lon don to witness the race. Harvard's growing confidence brought double and quadruple the number that usual ly follow the crimson to the Thames, while Yale's determination to win back her glory on the river brought a rec ord breaking crowd. It Was estimated that at least 40,000 people witnessed the spectacle from trains, and every other kind of vehicle and from a flot illa of the finest floating craft that graces American waters. Although Harvard won by a hand- -y; if -i -r- 'i Y i-'-A Sit s 1 J "J 1 r 1 -i V, some margin the race was neverthe less a contest right up to the last hall mile. All the way up the river the two eight rowed with almost equal precision and a slip of any kind in either shell would have turned the victory into defeat within a few sec Harvard boat. Rowing all the way two Harvard boat owing all the way two strokes and sometimes three strokes to the minute more than Yale, the crimson eight gradually crept away from the blue. For two and a half miles Yale kept with in a scant boat's length of her rival. Then Harvard put on her power and increased her lead first to three lengths then to four lengths and finally to six lengths. Yale spurted but in vain. The record fol lows: Harvard: Half mile S:28; one mile 5:10; two miles 10:45; three miles 16:10; four miles 21:50. Yale Half mile 2:27; one mile 5:12; two miles 10:48; three 16:20; four miles 22:10. Winning distance six lengths miles The stroking of the crews by miles follows: Harvard start 89; one mile 84; two miles 84; three miles 35: finish 86. Yale start 38; one mile 81; two miles 32; three miles 34; finish 36. PCEBLO IS UNDECIDED. It Is Thought Though That Teant Will Remain There. Pueblo. Col.. July 2.

McPherson at Great Bend. Strong City at Arkansas City. Wellington at Newton. Whitney of Cornis Is trying out in the Abilene outfield. Another candi date for an outfield job on the same team is Huff of Chapman. The Junction City paper insist that the Salina scorers must have been fa voring Quigley to give him such a bat ing average, as .407.

The Coffeyvi'le fans are making a strong bid for admission Into the Western league In place of Joplin. Up In Clay Center, when the box score doesn't show to the advantage of the home team the papers cheerfully omit It. What has become of Efltel Shingle Bartley, the great catcher, who waa going to Join the Abilene team? The only trouble about the ClBy Center team according to the Clay Center papers Is that It is weak In the pitching department and also In the hitting department. Otherwise It is fair to presume that the team Is all righ;. Red Harriott, who was released by Bill Zink early in the season, haa caught on with the Great Bend team. Great Bend has also signed another new man, Pontius who la trying for a Job. The Great Bend people evidently believe that there Is still a good chance to win first honors. Those who have seen Lewis Woods of Ellsworth work, claim that he Is In better condition than he ever was, even when pitching his rlassy ball for the old Iola and Oklahoma City teams. It is a noticeable fact that George Slegel isn't catching very much for the Ellsworth team. The assumption is that George Is too adipose. The last time George was seen in Topeka he was wlthv the Oklahoma City team. Jack Root who waa then pitching for the Mets pulled off a good one on him. There waa a runner on first and sec ond aid only one out. George had passed ball and atarted to recover tho ball in his usual good natured and leisurely manner. The man from sec ond st ored, and the man on first had just rounded third when Root rushed to the plate and exclaimed, "Great Scott George, can't you do your sleeping at night." Ward; No. t R.

The review of the internal commerce of the United Slates during May as shown by a bul letin of the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor has an optimistic tone. While the volume of livestock and grain movements was below that re ported for May of the preceding two ears,' and there appeared also a slight check in the upward trend of the coal and lumber traffic, the transportation, r mnufacturing and building activities are reported as improved. The coke out put and shipments showed a continuous improvemt f. in answer to the large demand of o iron furnaces. Increased takings of cotton and wool were inter preted as indicating a greater activity in the textilt. industry, while larger shipments of boots anfl shoes from the chief distributing centers served the (Statisticians as an index of more reg ular industrial employment. The building activity in the larger cities of the country was reported as unusually high. Traffic operations of railroads, judging by the total number of freight cars handled and the num ber of idle cars reported, were not up to the high record of 1907. though com parisons with May, 190S, showed a con siderable improvement for practically all sections of the country- CALLS TT OUTRAGEOUS. Rev. Anna Shaw Condemns Tariff Increase on Women's Apparel. Seattle,' July 2. Tariff increase on ar ticles of -women's apparel was con demned by Rev. Anna H. Shaw in an address before the National Suffrage convention. Miss Shaw thought it an outrageous condition that enables men to discrim inate against women who a.re powerless to strike back, not being voters. "The inconsistency of the government whose very existence is the result of a protest against unjust tax regulation, is a serious commentary upon the justice of manhood," she said. Miss Shaw referred to the recent can onization of Joan of Arc as an evi dence of the fanatical and emotional character of men. She regarded as un precedented the advance of the suf frage cause in the umtfa Biaira anu Kurope. This, she declared, is the re sult of a great democratic movement that is sweeping over the nations.

The deal has been closed and work will commence at once on the new addition to the car barns of the To peka Street Railway. The three lots facing Jackson street just north of the present barns have been pur chased and the cottages on these lots will be moved at once. This new addition to the car barns will give them 75 more feet on the north. The car barn facins Jackson and Twelfth streets will be extended to Eleventh street thus making the big structure one whole block in length. For some time the Topeka Railway company has contemplated this move but were unable to complete arrange ments until this time. It seems that the railway people have been crowded for barn space for over a year and only by systematic and compact ar rangements was it possible to house all of the cars now used by the com pany. Not long ago the company ordered twelve new "pay-as-you-enter" cars and by this move they entered into-an agreement for the additional property secured. These new metropolitan modern cars are larger than the aver age regular car on the system and they will take up considerable track age. There are eifht tracks running the entire length of the present barns and when the new 75 foot addition is built, 16 new cars can be accom modated. The car barns and all company buildings are built neatly and durably of cement blocks. HOTTEST JIXE ON UECOKD. An Average Temperature of 78.9 for the Montli at Pittsburg. M1E Flease Note!

If the Tafts happened to live in Topeka their boy, Charlie, would have to wait a few years before he could run his mother's automobile. The excess of government disburse ments over receipts for the fiscal year Just about to end will be $92,500,000. This Is an excellent way not to trans act business, even public business. Probably the reason that the police of this city have not picked up a sus pect in the Elsie Sigel case is because there is not a Chinaman in Topeka, nor has there been for a long time. Poorly done, thou, .faithless ser vants is the salutation that Is due to the controlling forces of the United States senate in respect to the work done by them in revising the tariff. Warning to baseball fans: Don't get too wrought up over the decisions of the umpire. A New Tork man fell in a fit because an umpire called a fly ball that looked good for a home run a foul. He burst a blood vessel and may die. rrooaoiy ir uovernor Haskell, of Oklahoma, wandered into these parts ne would not come near getting the complimentary notices in the pews- paper that have been accorded to Mr. asKeii, tne baseball umpire in the Western league. That Kansas City, Mo., woman who married recently an Englishman of distinguished family certainly got her money's worth in the way of a name even if her groom has not a title. The name she will now wear is nothing less than Mrs. Henry Charles Somers Augustus Somerset. Emperor William piloted his yacht to victory the other day in a big race. There's nothing momentous about this. It merely strengthens the sus picion that when kings and emperors and presidents come out ahead in sporting events, the other contestants do not try hard to win. A Chicago, jury has sustained the "unwritten law' by freeing a man who murdered the alleged betrayer of his sister.- This apology for Justice has apparently been going out of fashion of late in other parts of the country, as it should. The Chicago Juries should see to it in the future that they get well to the head of the line In this procession. Statistics issued by the interstate commerce commission show that fa talities in railroad accidents were fewer during the first three months cf this year than during the corres ponding period of last year. This is a gratifying condition of affairs, and speaks well for the increased care that is being devoted by the railroads to the operation of their trains. But Slason Thompson, the Chlcagoan who writes pieces for the railroads, will probably rush into print with a statement to the effect that this de crease in railroad fatalities is due to the financial panic of more than twenty months ago. Ben Tillman's insistence that the tariff protectionist should put a ten cents a pound duty on all the tea Im ported into this country for the pur pose of protecting the decidedly in fantile, tea industry of South Caro lina was really ridiculous, but it was no more so than many of the protec tive schedules- which have been forced through the senate by Mr. Aid rich and his votes, and these same votes were responsible for killing the South Carolinan's proposition. Till man was perfectly Justified in declar ing that the Aldrich crowd acted in consistently in this matter, even though there could be no possible justification for a duty on tea. As a wrecker of men, politics is viewed thusly by the Boston Travel ler: "For every politician who comes out of office with a fortune, able to set a bad example by his easily and generally wrongly won wealth, thou sands are ruined for life because they went into politics. Every ward, in Boston has its scores of these human wracks, whose wives are obliged to contribute to the family support whose children are deprived of educa tlon and the advantages which might have been theirs if their father had chosen honest employment Instead of being misled by the glamour of poli tics and following its will-o'-the-wisps into the morasses of poverty, disap pointment and heartaches." And what is true of Boston in this respect is true to a greater or less degree of every community in the United States. HOT WEATHER DON'TS. Especially pertinent during these days of sweltering heat, when almost everybody is wishing for the grand old winter time are a handful of hot weather don'ts which occupy a promi nent position in the bulletin for June issued by the Kansas state board of health. Their sensibleness should strike everyone with such a force that heed will be given to them. And if they are observed, why it will be easier for everyone to put up with the warm weather. They follow: Don't fret it will only make you warmer. Don't scold It will sour your sweet ness. Don't eat too much you will live longer and it will cost less. Don't drink ice-cold water the re action will make you feel hotter and delay digestion. Don't buy foodstuffs which have been a roosting or feasting place for flies you may become infected with a dan gerous disease. WHAT PARENTS SHOULD. KNOW. No greater service in the interests of a safe and sane Fourth of July has been done by any newspaper or agency than by the Chicago Record-Herald. It has been hammering away at this good work for months, and the things that it has had to say in this respect are as pertinent to the people of every com munity of the country as they are to those of Chicago, even if that city has out-distanced most of the other cities in the land in the way of stringent ordinances covering the handling of powder-crackers and other noise pro ducers. Recognizing the fact that accidents to children are certain to occur on the celebration of the Fourth, which oc curs next Monday, the Record-Herald recently directed its attention to telling parents some things that they ought to know to prevent their children, who may be injured by the explosion of fire works, from getting lockjaw. They are as follows, and every parent should clip out these brief paragraphs and paste them in his hat until the last echo of the celebration is over: Every parent ought to know how to protect his children from lockjaw in case they are injured in the course of Fourth of July celebrations. He ought to know that the slight as well as well as the serious injury may result in lockjaw. He ought to know that in every case of injury a doctor should be called. He ought to know that the wounds should be washed and peroxide of hy drogen applied even before the doctor comes, and that the wound must be kept open in the meantime. He ought to know that medical treat ment should include thorough cleasing of the wounds, cauterization with a carbolic acid solution or other disin fectant, and that it should be dressed every day. He ought to know that anti-tetanic serum can be obtained gratis in case it is needed and he is un able to pay for it. THE BANKING IMBROGLIO. It appears that considerable of th fuss which is being stirred up in the banking circles of the state is uncalled for and that it will serve no good pur pose. Most of it is the result of the announcement by certain national banks that they will be prepared to pay as high as 4 and 5 per cent interest on deposits which will be guaranteed through the medium of the National Bankers' Deposit Insurance company. State banks are naturally wrought up over this because the state law for the guaranteeing of bank deposits limits to 3 per cent interest that banks can pay on guaranteed deposits. They fear that the national banks which agree to ray a larger per cent of inter est than the law allows to state banks will take business away from them. Many of the state banks are demand ing that the governor call a special session of the legislature to amend the guarantee deposit law so as to put the state banks on an equal footing with the national banks. But if a session of the legislature was called probably the last thing it would do would be to permit the state banks to pay more than three per cent on deposits. In the realms of conserva tive banking there is opposition to pay ing a greater per cent of interest than this. What the legislature would do, though, in all probability would be to pass legislation which would prohibit the national banks from paying more than 3 per cent on guaranteed deposits. Of course, a legislature has no author ity over the operation of national banks, but it has authority over the insurance company, an organization in-, corporated under the laws of the state, which the national bankers have form ed to guarantee deposits. It would be easy enough for the legislature to pass a law prohibiting such an insurance company from guaranteeing or Insur ing deposits on which Interest greater than 3 per cent Is paid. It Is under stood that national bankers freely ad mit that the legislature could act in this way, and it Is likely to be the way it will act at the next regular session even if a special session is not called to straighten out this banking tangle. Under these circumstances It would appear to be rather futile for the na tional banks to agitate the payment of more interest on guaranteed deposits than it Is possible for state banks to pay and it ought to strike most per sons that it would be better for them to start in and limit the interest on their insured deposits to that provision of the law governing the state banks. The. national and state banks of Kansas are generally most admirably conducted fiduciary institutions. They I have carried on their affairs in the past in excellent harmony, which has been a good thing for both of them and also for the people doing business with them. It is to' be sincerely hoped that the present ripple which seems to be disturbing their serenity will blow over and that their relations will become most friendly once again. It would also appear that designing politicians are playing quite a hand In the disturb ances which have come to the front in banking circles. If this is true, it's bad business, for the conduct of banks should be absolutely free from the in fluence or control of politics.

"The critics on one side and the Yahoos' on the other, who think it smart to run down com mon things, find fault with the 'Red. White and Blue.' It is a matter of fact that the melody is one of the truest and best known to American composition; the theme is fine; there is a little weakness in its develop ments here and there, but what of that?

A shrewd man without money is a better investment for a girl than a fool with money. As a man gets older, it takes him longer to warm up to a good time, and longer to get over it.

Belmont is quoted as saying that if women would refuse to marry men until the right of suffrage i.aa oeen granted regardless of sex, the great reform would be enacted wunin is months. No doubt Mrs. Belmont baa n irreat deal of experience with this influence of women over men and can fairly see the reaiizaiio.i cf hope if women only wouia, or rather, would not. But .he question occurs to the man ana woman already married, is it to ue Mijecita mat in thl3 conflict stubbornness onlv men wnnlrt vield Here and there perhaps a woman would really care enough for some fool man to marry him regardless of the right t vote, won, en have been known to d tnings lust as bad. even in the set dominated by the influence of Mrs. Bel n,ont. j. no men would be verv persist ent and would resort to all the strike breaking methods known. They would realize tnat it the Women's Union won this demand there would be more to lojiow. biiccess would add enthusiasm to the organization. Having achieved the ballot by refusing to marrv until xr,b rignt i:aa been given them, Mrs. Belmont's scheme would hot be laid aside. The men would be required to hand aver their comfortable style of trousers to tne tair sex and perhaps the men would be put in skirts and sheath gowns. If you do not wear big hats ana rats, tne women might say, we will not marry you and having once given in, the men would have to put on the Merry Widows and the puffs. It is easy for men to see where all this would lead to an! it is time for them to stand together against the methods more than the demands of Mrs. Belmont and her organization. We have always believed that there was no gcod argument why women should not vote. But we view with alarm the position taken by Mrs. Bel niont and the effect it might have upon the weak male sex. Confronted by a reiteration of refusal to marry unless new privileges were given to women or old habits taken from men and the men might be drawn to ccunter organization and refuse to rr arry.

Hulchmson News. A WISE MOVE. When the grocers of Emporia aDoiisnea tne solicitor system, one did an extremely wise thing, one that gives satisfaction to dealers and customers alike. It is not to the discredit of the solicitors, but the fact is that their calls at residences long ago became an annoyance, and busy women who were called from their work three or four times in a morning. to explain to the canvassers that they didn't want any dad-busted groceries, regard this venture of the groceries as a blessing. In these days of telephones the solicitor is a sort of anachronism and his arduous toil was toil thrown away, in most eases, for housewives will buy their groceries whero and when and in such quantities as they please, until there is a law against it. The grocers will find that the abandonment of the solicitor sys tern will be a good thing for their business. Customers will be more apt to go down'" town to do their buying, and they can buy to better"; advantage, and-toe the. greater satis faction of the merchats, and the money spent for solicitors can be used in newspaper advertising. Emporia Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS FARMERS AND UNEMPLOYED. In every state of the United States the farmer should be up and at it in study of this unfortunate condition of unemployment with which the people of the city have to deal constantly. It may be that when the farmer who greatly needs the work of these un employed shall enter heartily into co operation with those of the cities and towns who are attempting to provide for them and him there may be found a wav to induce the. idle ones to leave their beloved haunts in the crowded streets and take to the labor of the fields for good wages and good living. All of those who are capable of phvsical work could be provided with it. The ,New York legislature recently created a commission to study the causes and effect of un employment. The sooner that com mission gets into touch with the In telligence of the farmer the more likely to follow something in the way of a good result. No doubt the in dustry and prosperity of the farm ing class will continue. The unem ployed of the cities should be trans planted to the farms and the villages of farming districts. The problem is not an Impossible one. The farmer should enter heartily into its solution. Cincinnati Enquirer. SQUARE DEAL IN POLITICS. There has been a great deal of kick ing at Governor Hughes' iaeas ana plans the past winter, and he has been defeated in his aims at sundry times. The machine politicians have been against him. denouncing his purposes as too idealistic and Utopian. The first appeal to the people nas been made to decide between the Hughes and anti-Hughes forces. That was in Oswego county, and the anti- Hnffhes forces were signany aeteateu. The plain question that went before the people was whether their ca'use or the cause if the politicians should win. That Is the point, stripped of all verbiage, that the people saw in the conflict. In this verdict they do not ae cide against the Republican party, but th" the Republican party is greater than the machine; that tne macnine must be operated for the people, and not for the engineers, or it must go. Ohio State Journal. THE VALUE OF TRAINING. The present graduating class of the school of commerce of the University of New York had an average monthly earning capacity of $84.64 the year it entered the school. After two years of study and training In this school, the average earning capacity pt the class amounted to $107.40, an increase of 27.:1 per cent. The same ratio of increase would mean that each member of this class, as he receives his diploma, steps out into the world qualified to earn $136.36 a month, as against $S4.60 three years ago. The training of three years has increased his monthly earning ca pacity $51.76, or $623.12 a year, with pos sibilities for advancement almost lim itless. Every farm laborer of Iowa is worth to the state $1,088 a year in farm products, while South Carolina gets only $147 in farm products from each of her farm laborers. The difference is largely in the training. The moral is plain: the best paid and most successful laborer of today other things being equal Is the trained la borer Milwaukee Sentinel. THE DREAMER LIVES FOREVER. I am tired of planning and toiling In the crowded hives of men; Heart-weary of building and spoiling. And spoiling and building again. And I long for the dear old river. Where I dreamed my youth away; For a dreamer lives forever. But a toiler dies .in a day. I am sick of shallow seeming Of a life that is half a lie; Of the faces lined with scheming In the throng that hurries by. From the sleepless thought's endeavor I would go where the children play; For a dreamer lives forever. And a thinker dies In a day. I feel no pride, but pity. For the burdens the rich endure; There is nothing sweet in the city But the patient lives of the poor; Oh, the little hands too skilful. And the child mind choked with weeds! The daughter's heart grown wilful. And the father's heart that bleeds! Oh, no! from the street's rude hustle. From tlie trophies of mart and stage I would fly to the wood's low rustle, And the meadow's kindly page. Let me dream as of old by the river. And he loved for the dream alway; For a dreamer lives forever. And a toiler dies In a day. John Boyle O'Reilly. New Use For "Magicians." The astounding fact was divulged,, at tne ainner of the Society of American Magicians last week, that there are 20,000 of those wonderfully gifted fel lows in this country, men who can pick gold coins out of the thin air, pull a ton of two of dress goods, a gross o American flags, and a live pig out of casual silk hat. palm live goldfish, an hatch handkerchiefs out of hen's eggs Twenty thousand experts in the art of mystifying their fellow-men, wnose dexterity, invariably accompanied by pleasing conversational girts, is em ployed only for diversion. No feat of the Spiritualists, hypnotists, clair voyants, or so-called healers is more remarkable than the tricks these lei lows can play on the vision and im agination of a roomful of normal hu man beings. The gravest troubles the French government encounters in its early efforts to pacify Algiers were caused by the influence of the native magicians. The experiment or send ing Robert Houdin and his son, both expert conjurers, to show the Alger ians how much more astonisnmg tne repertory of acknowledged trickery was than the mysteries they had been accustomed to, proved very success ful. It seems that our army of pro fessional mystifiers might ba employed to the same purpose among the unenlightened dupes of the charlatans who infest this country. Wherever a pretentious imposter claiming occult powers is gulling the people, a free exhibition of the same sort of thing, confessedly produced by acquired skill, would have a whole some effect. This is no joke. Our 20,- 000 magicians might well be employ ed to educate the masses and lift them out of the rut of superstition. New York Times. Potato Is the Kine. The potato is king in Aroostook county. Fully $12,000,000 has been cleared by the farmers, in that one county on the potato crop of 1908, the total shipments to market having been 15,000,000 bushels. This year every piece of land that will grow a potato has been planted, and the estimate for the 1909 crop is 30,000,000. If the prices hold good, it is thought the Aroostook farmers will clear not less than $24,000,000 after keeping all the potatoes they need for home use. The price of potato lana nas aavancea su to 50 per cent, and the market is strong, even at such prices. The banks or tne county simpiy are trorsred with potato money. Autoplows and disk harrows are being purchased by the farmers and fertilizer is being purchased by tne carioaa lot. -.train al ter train, loaded down with supplies for the potato growers is moving up the line into Aroostook county.

Dispatch to New York Press. Another Maine Nature Tale. An Auburn man has a cow whose idiosyncrasies have puzzled him. A month ago she seemed gay and light hearted. A week of depression followed. Another week of airy and lightsome frivolity seemed to follow, and now again she would seem depressed. He has been watching her and has just discovered that she has developed a passion for literature as a diet. In oth er words, she chews the old pamphlets and newspapers. He has found out an other thing, viz.. that her moods vary as to the amount and character of illustrations consumed the more the articles are Illustrated, the more ex hilaration for the cow; the more solid the matter, the ereater the area of de pression. For instance, a copy of the Congressional Record will reduce the cow's spirits and temperature to sub normal, while a copy of any of the cur rent illustrated newspapers will make er caper like a happy child.

A recent traveler In Central Africa describes an interesting use of the soil of ant hills. It appears that it nfakes excellent bricks, of which houses are built.

The same sub stance is found to make excellent ten nis courts. It is mixed with water into a thick paste, spread on the ground, and smoothed over with the hands. The same traveler tells us how the na tives in the neighborhood of Lake Nyassa esteem a species of fly as an excellent article of diet. It is known as the "kungu," and appears to be pe culiar to the lake. At certain seasons of the year they appear in enormous numbers, and are sometimes blown in mvriads over the land.

Half way down the steps of the fra ternity house Anglin turned and went thoughtfully back to the room that he shared with Beresford. "You're dead sure you'll not change your mind and come?" queried Anglin. Beresford, with a volume open on his knee and a pipe gripped between his teeth, nodded emphatically. "Then I suppose you don't mind if I take your skates? They're sharper than mine." "Take them, of course." But when Fred Anglin had slung the skates over his shoulder and but toned his thick gloves he still lingered. It seemed as though this were not what he had come back to say after all. "I ought to tell you, Tom we've been such pals right along that I'm going to put my fate to the test to night. The Tremaine srirls will be at the skating party. And tonight I in tend to speak to Gerla Beresford lumped ud and wrunir his frend's hand enthusiastically. tiooa tor you!" he cried. "Go in and win! As long as it isn't Geraldine l can endure the thought of your hap piness If she says yes. I'll be able to listen to your raptures without ex periencing a perfectly legitimate de sire to sung you through the window. Thanks, old man," laughed Anglin, aaaing: "Lucky we vr not set our re spective hearts on the same sister. aow, i m blest if I understand your miatuatlon for Geraldine! But. long as you are her captive, whv d you hold back? You are older than I, and Beresford shook his head with grim smile. "It isn't that. You've a wealthy fath er and a settled income. I've only enough to pull me through this final year, vvnen I get my diploma well i snan t have much more in a ma terial line. I don't dare ask Geraldln to wait until I have attained achieve arrived. It wouldn't be fair to her. It would her promise be a tre mendous incentive to you!" "Oh, I know that! But she must be considered first! There was another handclasp, a firm and silent one. Anglin swung awav for tne tramp into the country wnere ui skaters were to assemble at Pilgrim' pona, The star-studded night closed down early. When Anglin reached the ap pointed place the amusement of the evening was already in full swing. The expanse of ice was clean swept and of an opaque, turquoise tint. Strings o Chinese lanterns dangled in the mul ti-hued propinquity from bare tree to tree and from pole to pole. In a de chvity, semi-shaded by a fly-tent royal fire blazed and crackled. In and out, round and about, in dullness un der the sullen stars, or in red relief where the flambeaux, set at regular In ternals, flared fantastically, sped and nasnea tne aark figures of the skaters. xrea Anglin got on his skates as quickly as possible and started ou across the frozen pond. Many turned to look at the athletic young figure circling through their midst with such easy, swallow-like grace and motion. But he noticed neither their pres ence nor their admiration. He was looking for one particular little figure bne wouia wear a snort skating cos tume of blue velvet, the Russian blouse of which was girt with heavy cords that swung backward when she raced. The high, peaked cap would make a penthouse over a mass of fair curls and mischievous eyes, bluer than any violets that ever mocked the blue- ness of a June time sky. And "There she is!" he said, suddenly, to himself. Alone in the shadow of the wlgwam- snaped refreshment tent, apparently fancying herself unobserved, a slender young form was whirling on heel and toe, cutting a pattern of intricate tracery on the ice. Come with me," he cried, as he dashed to her side. He held out his hands, crossed at the wrists in the old approved "carry-the-lady-out-of-town" style. Together they swung gracefully down the strip of gleaming ice which was least covered. But when they were quite away from the merrv crowd of skaters. whose voices came to them musically through the frosty night air, Anglin forced their impetuous progress on one very deliberate. And then, as he took a firmer hold of her mittened hands, he began, after the manner of many another lover, who has been compelled to force his courage to the sticking point: Dear!" he said, desperately. "I can't keep silent any longer. You know how I ve cared for you ever since well, ever since I entered college. A! though I've never been obliged to con sider ways and means, still, a legacy has made it possible tor me to ask you to give your promise. I know," he dded hastily, "you won t care about this sort of thing, but I ought to men on it. There s only one question now -do you think you will ever love me a little?" His words, voice, even the tensity with which he retarded her flight, holding her hands tight pressed to his ide. did not escape the girl s alert con sciousness. But she answered in un steady accents. There was trepidation in her tone and dread, the dread a weet girl experiences who hates to give pain. I m sorry sorry sorrier than I ve ever been about anything in all my life," she began. I I did not dream it was I for whom you cared. Had I done so I never would have permitted you to say this." As one stunned he relaxed slightly his grip on her fingers, while he ac celerated their speed. "Don't worry!" be answered bravely. "I must have been awfully stupid to have fancied you are sure you're quite warm enough? We are almost at the tent now. I'd better bring you some hot coffee. Gerla." They were at the tent. Yellow streaks of light from Its canvas aper tures were glinting out at them. The girl came to a standstill, her hand still Op her companion's arm. "What was that you said?" she ask ed sharply. "Gerla. I suppose I should have said Miss Tremaine," and then as she did not at once reply, he wheeled swiftly and confronted her. She had dashed back, the peaked hood of her skating coat. He saw a-4 little dark, mignonne faee looking up at him in the wavering amber light a face that looked uncertain as to whether it ought break into smiles or quiver into tears the face of Gerla's twin. "Geraldine!" he exclaimed as he fell back with astonishment. It was her turn to be amazed. "Why, did you think It was Gerla?" she cried. "Sure." he added, with enthusiastic relief. And then when her merry peal of laughter had died away he queried: "But how do tou happen to be wear ing Gerla's costume?" She laughed again a relieved sort of merriment that made Anglin think suddenly of his roommate. "Oh, that's what what fooled you. was it? Why, we changed them just for fun. But is Tom"- she flushed furiously at her slip of names "I mean if Gerla had thought "What!" exclaimed Anglin, amblg-, uously, "Geraldine, do you thlnk- "Oh, as to Gerla," she broke In, "she is coming back of you ask her yourself." And she skated swiftly away. The next instant Anglin was facing a girl in a suit of wine-colored velvet. The peaked cap was drawn high over tousled golden curls and eyes of deep est blue. "Howiyou stare!" she laughed. "Am I an uncanny spirjt?" "I've proposed to one girl tonight," he confessed, as he whisked away to the waltz the band was playing, "and I don't want to make a similar mis take again. For she was not the girl at all whom I meant to ask to marry me!" "Are you quite sure you're not mis taken now?" she asked quizzically. "Quite!" he assured her. ."But I would like positive proof and corrob oration!" And both Fred Anglin succeeded in securing before he strode home to ask Tom for congratulations and to heart en him with the fondest of hopes (Copyright, 1909, by Associated Liter ary Press.)

The Santa Fe has pur chaser! thousands of acres of timber. but will be unable to get any benefit from the same for a few years- -Recently a shipment of Coca-Bola and Japanse oak, purchased by the road In .Tanan. were unloaded In California, end- after beinz prepared. will be brought to this division and placed where stated. This wood costs laid down in Cali fornia. $1.15 a tie. It is guaranteed to last from twenty-five to thirty years and is so hard that a hole must be bored in the tie and a screw inserted to hold the rail In place of the ordi nary spike. When laid the ties will represent a cost of about $2 each. There will be 170.000 of them. At the time they are laid, new and heav ier rails will be laid. The new rail will be a little longer than the old ones, which will be put in on the branch lines. The track will be ballasted and when finished will present the finest piece of railway track in the world. It's little wonder that Mr. Coffey feels so good about the matter. He will be able to get the trains out on time. Mr. Coffev- also took time to explain the fact that Great Bend is going to have a new depot mighty soon. The many new enterprises going in here and the importance of the new track which will extend clear across the town have made the town much more valuable to the road than heretofore and though a new depot has been figured on for some time, it was neces sary to wait until changes in the yards ennld be decided on. "You will have a whole lot better depot than if it had been built by this time." said Mr. Coffey, "and It will be a mighty nice thing for the town for having waited. WOXT CIIAXGi: TEXAS LIXE. Governor Threatens Santa Fe Witb Special Legislation. Austin. Tex.. July 2. Governor Campbell threatens to call a special session of the legislature for the pur pose of having a law passed prohibit ing trunk lines of railway from paral leling small independent lines, and also requiring that established towns shall riot be omitted from the routes of such roads. This proposed action on the part of the governor grows out of the complaints of the owners of short in dependent lines in western Texas and of the people of towns in that section over the route selected by the Santa Fe by its 310-mile cutoff which is now being built to connect Texico, on the transcontinental line, with Coleman on the guilf division of the system. Governor Campbell has been corre sponding with President E. P. Ripley In an endeavor to have the route changed so as to pass through certain towns that are clamoring for the new road and also to prevent the parallel ing of two short lines. Mr. Ripley has refused to make any change in the route originally selected, and the gov ernor Is very much disturbed about it. Fellow Citizens e e It is time to declare your independence of cheap, slip-shod tailoring1, of doubtful quality in fabrics, of uncertainty in style and of unsatisfactory fit. Your forefathers fought against taxation without representation. You have the self same fight on your hands. Every time you pay money for unworthy clothes, you are being taxed for something you don't get taxed for pure wool which you don't get taxed for hand tailoring which you don't get taxed for correct styles and fit which you don't get. That can't happen in this home of Hart, Schaffner Marx clothes. We are going to demonstrate it tomorrow in our pre-Fourth of July selling campaign, when we shall distribute suits at $20 and $25 which you cannot equal anywhere else tor less than $30 to $3o. That means a clean saving of ten dollars for you, and still we give all wool fabrics with linings, trimmings and tailorings as fine as money can buy. These clothes are made by the most expert talent in the country; they will fit; they are thoroughly fashionable; they come in a limitless variety of models, sizes, colors and patterns I you want a Fourth of July Suit for less money try our $15 hand tailor ed ones in whatever size, weave, fabric or color you like. This line is a wonderful thing because as you are aware, genuine nana tailored suits have al ways brought at least $20.00. And that's what you must pay in all other stores even now. But we have many to select from for men and young men, at $15 $15 ?15 mWMmi mM&S KHMkM Copyright 1909 bjr Hart Scbaffhcr Marx I NEW" SODIER GARDENS.

Independence. Kan.. July 2. Okla homa has lost in her effort to prevent the piping of gas out of that state. The united states circuit court lor the eastern district of Oklahoma handed down a aecislon In favor of the gas company at Muskogee. The nrinciple involved that the owner of a commodity has a right to take it to any market he sees fit has again been sustained. Nearly everybody, certain- lv every patriotic citizen, would prefer to keeD such a valuable resource at home, but the right of the owner Is respected by law and law is greater than sentiment. When the constitution of Oklahoma was written, the framers, knowing the experience of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In diana. West Virginia and Kansas, ex ercised every wit and bit of legal cun ning to prevent a repetition In the new state. After making it unconstitution al to pipe gas out of Oklahoma the legislature of that state enacted into the statutes governing foreign corpor ations a provision that no corporation could exercise the right of eminent domain, or cross public highways, without first domesticating, and they could not domesticate except they sub scribe to certain conditions, one cf which was that they would not pipe natural gas out of Oklahoma. Corporations contended that the state had no right to require them to domesticate and make one of the con ditions cf domestication the signing away of inalienable rights. PEXTTEXTIAKY GUARDS UESIGX.

He is a cook and baker and had come here to work in the Avalon bakery but as it would be sometime before he could go on, he secured employment as chief cook at the Russell hotel at Russell, Kan., and left Monday night to take the job. But Monday night when the land lady observed that Lloyd was not coming in, asked the reason and promptly put the wife out, locking her belongings up in the room. Out at Russell the husband wrote several letters to his wife inclosing money, but got no response, then he sent a telegram and still no response. Fear ful and excited, he immediately threw up his job and caught the train for Topeka last night arriving this morn ing. Upon going to the rooms and pay ing the rent, the landlady gave him a letter he had written his wife. It had been delivered yesterday. He opened it, took out the rent money he had sent in time for payment as arranged and put it in his pocket.

Senator Aldrlcli Slakes an Estimate on the Corporation Tax. "Washington, July 2. In the course of a colloquy with Senator McCumber in the senate today as to the distinction between taxing a business and the right to conduct a business, Mr. Rayner said: "I am not in anywise responsible for the obiter oictum of the supreme court: I ,:ra not responsible for its calamitous decision and illogical con elusions in the Pollock case. I hav filwf-vs thcueht the income tax ones tion should be resubmitted to the court and that the court should have an other opportunity to say whethe- itd decision in that case, in which it over ruled the precedents of a hundred years, should te allowed to stand." That the proposed corporation tax makes a gross discrimination Mr. Raynor conceded, but he contended that congress had the right to make such discrimination provided there was geographical uniformity. Senator Elkins asked if one per cent would be a sufficient corporation tax. Mr. Aldrich replied that he had esti mated that the revenue from the cor poration tax provision would be at least twice the ampunt estimated by the president, or $50,000,000. If an era of economy was to be entered upon he declared that the bill "as it now stands sufficient to meet all expenses of the government." Senator Cummins, then taking the floor, reviewed the speech made by Mr. Root yesterday in support of the cor poration tax. He scouted the idea that there was any likelihood that people would attempt to conduct a campaign for the purpose of forcing approval by the supreme court of an income tax law if enacted. Referring to Mr. Roofs suggestion that an income tax would bear as heavily on the east. Mr. Cum mins declared there was no prejudice against wealth in his state, but if wealth was to be taxed at all. he said, It should be taxed wherever found. Earthquake in Spain.

The announcement came like a thunderbolt out of a clear Bky. Mar cia Deane had broken her engagement with Jack Kelly. They had been lovers from child hood, always together, always devoted and absolutely loyal to each other; and now, just a few months before the wedding day, the unexpected hap pened. The young people were planning a nutting expedition and Jack had called, as he did every evening, to tell Marcia the details. "We start from Lawton's at 9. so I will come for you a little earlier. You will be ready?" There was scarcely a question in his voice. Marcia was always ready. He had finished up that subject and his thoughts were busy with something else when it dawned on him that Mar cia's answer and tone were quite dif ferent from what he had expected. She had risen and was speaking rap idly, intensely.. "No, I shall not be ready, then or any time again. Jack. I'm not going with you any more and here's your ring." She thrust the mute emblem of their past happiness into his hand, stood expectant a moment, then, as he did not speak, she turned from him and walked into the house. Jack wag too dazed to move. How long he sat there he never knew, but at last he went away. The light and happiness had been crushed out of his life at one blow. Fall slipped into winter and the usual festivities began. Jack Kelly never appeared at them, but he heard of 'Marcia. first with one man. then with another, the belle of the season. And Marcia enjoyed her freedom. For the first time in her young life she was receiving attention from other ad mirers than Jack and she was con stantly comparing them with him. Sam Duncan was splendidly big and handsome, though his eyes lacked the genial twinkle, the tender sympathy of Jack's. Dan Hemly was extrava gant and she was sure it was wrong. Not that she could endure a stingy man. "Jack was generous, too, but he had some principle about it. Ted Reynolds fell in love with Mar cia at-once and insisted on taking her everywhere. He was full of fun, a bril liant talker and an all-around good fellow. Marcia liked htm immensely until Christmas Day. Then she found his card at the bottom of the basket of roses she had thought came from Jack, and after that there was a bit terness in her heart toward the man who had dared to send what she ex pected from her neglected lover. As soon., as spring came Marcia was seen constantly in Harry Lawton's au tomobile. Rumor had already engag ed her to a dozen different men. and now It settled on Law-ton as an ab solute certainty. Marcia held her peace and said nothing. Now and then, when Marcia had an occasional glimpse of Jack's face, with the deep lines around the lips that of old were always smiling and IS LOVE AGAIN. .I'll i Queen Wilhelmina, Prince Henry tender for her. she would go home, shut herself in her room and cry her self to sleep. "The old stupid! "Why doesn't he come to see me?" she would say to herself, angry at his unquestioning acceptance of her dismissal. It was the first of June, just a week before Marcia's birthday, which was also to have been her wedding day. All day long she had been puzzling her brain to find a way-out of her di lemma. Things had not turned out exactly as she had planned them in the months Just gone. She had ex pected to retain Jack's friendship, to have him call occasionally, but she had never exchanged a w'ord with him since the night she had sent him away. At last, because she could think of no better way, she sent him a note. "Dear Jack: A -girl you used to know will be at our house tonight and wishes to see you. Come at 7. Marcia. Quite bewildered, unable to guess who the girl might bo, Jack obeyed the summons. He found Marcia alone in the parlor. Never had she looked so bewitching to him as she did after the months of separation. She was dressed all in his favorite white; re lieved only hy a single black-red Jac ques rose. Jack caught his breath with sudden pain as he realized all that it meant to love her. With Irre sistible longing he kept her hand and drew her close into his arms. "Marcia, darling," he murmured, his face against hers. "Tell me it isn't true! Say that this lonely winter has been a horrible nightmare and I'm waking now." "The srirl you used to know she began. "Bother the girl! I don t want her. I want you, you She drew awav rrom nim a nine. "The girl. Jack, is the one you used to be engaged to He caught her in his arms again and Marcia finished her coniession. "You never askeS her why she gave back the ring. You didn't give her a chance to explain that before she be came an oil married woman she wanted the experience of knowing some one besides the man who had always been her constant attendant. She meant to take a little vacation of a month or two, but you made it so hard she had to wait until oh. Jack, do you know what a week from to dav is?" jack disengaged one arm long en ough to slip a glistening golden circ let on Marcia's finger. Then he an swered triumphantly: "Do I know? Well. I think any man ought to recognize his own wed ding day! It's the end of your va cation, young lady!" (Copyright, 1909. By Associated Literary Press.) DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

Unclaimed Suits ACTUALLY MADE FOR $35, $40, $45, $50 Unclaimed Suits Berlin, July 2. The proposal to reach the North Pole In a Zeppelin airship is regarded as feasible by Herr vpn Drygralski, the well known geographer ar.d .Polar explorer, who today said that the accomplishment of the project lies within the radius of action which Count Zeppelin already has demonstrated as rcssible for his craft. The dangerous and severe Arctic storms must be reck onea w;tn, although these are not so threatening in summer, and other con ditions to be taken into consideration is the rays of the sun which develop great strength "in the summer and are continuous. Herr von Drygalski re gtrds the eopraphic and scientific aims of the expedition as fully justify ing the venture and the expense en tailed. Professor Penck. director of the oceanographic museum, explained to t!ay that the distance from Spitzbergen to the North Pole is about equal to that from Friedrichshafen to Koenigs burg and he takes the optimistic view of the nrooability of success. Kiel, July 2. Professor H. Hergesell, of the University of Strasburg, has turned over to Emperor William com plete plans for the proposed Zeppelin trip to thi North Pole. He explained the idea also to the prince of Monaco, who probably win give financial assist ance. HOLD THE WHEAT QUESTION. J. K. Smith Analyses His Reasons fop Advising l-Vrmers. To the Editor of the State Journal: i oo not wisn to appear grimace freed in the prophetic calendar, but I will wager one dollar to a doughnut f-now and Coburn are nearer right on their estimate of 65,000,000 bushels of wheat for Kansas this year than Edward Jones for Hall Baker Co in his estimate of 90.000,000 bushels To start with we will have a lighter crop than last year, we exported 40,- 000.000 bushels less of the 1906 crop than of the 1907 crop and at that the old wheat is nearly gone, less than 1,000,000 bushels in Chicago now all told. St. Louis was forced to pay $1.52 for wheat. Hutchinson right in the wheat belt had to ship in and pay $1.40 per bushel, for local use. Salina mills shut down for want of wheat. The reports from every way show short straw and a thin stand. I never saw an overproduction of wheat thrashed from an under pro duction of straw. I have farmed for forty years, and I think this is the best opportunity in all that time, (ev erything considered) for farmers to set a fair price for their wheat. In the first place you have empty gran aries. second you have money In the banks and don't have to sell until you get ready, third, you keep the mar ket in a normal condition, not a Laz arus today and a Rockefeller tomor row. Your system last year made the hungry children cry for bread and the bakers raised their price on the loaves, why did you not dump your wheat on the market and stop those hungry cries? Because you sold cheap and had none to dump. Far mers: You are not guilty, but don't do it again. Did you ever figure what you get if you are in a rush and what you can get if you name the price? Don't overdo the price only take what the speculator gets when yoti sell too soon. The difference between 90c and $1.10 on 65,000,000 bushels amounts to $13,000,000 less the seed wheat, quite a princely sum for the state. The majority of the farmers sell their wheat and buy their flour, if you don't get this the foreigners will if some non-compos mentis, seit-aDus ed. public parasite tells you that the old wheat is all out of the country, tell him to hold his breath and you will hold your wheat, I will wager he will let go first and then tell him what Felix told his wife. I would have answered the article published in the State Journal on the 29th, ult. replying to my former ar ticle. but I have learned long ago that if you antagonize a combination of digested potatoes, beef, sour kraut and molasses the odor left on you will betray the engagement. Hold your wheat for $1.10 per bushel! J. K. SMITH. vJ&i' 1 sKKi '-v Mift IVAzi.J iu j SCENE IN PITTSBURG, MAYOR OF CITY WHO FORCED SETTLEMENT OF CAR STRIKE AND SENATORS WHO AIDED. Senators Penrose and Oliver both telegraphed to Mayor Magee of Pittsburg urging him to do all in his power to bring about arbitration of the street railway strike in that city when all the conductors and motormen walked out, completely tying up traffic. James D. Callery, president of the traction company, also called upon the mayor, de manding police protection, but declined the mayor's proposal for arbitration. W. D. Mahon, head of the street car men's union, hurried from Detroit to Pittsburg and took charge of the strike when he learned that the street rail way officials had called upon James Farley, the strike breaker, to furnish 900 nonunion motormen and conductors to man the cars. These warlike preparations moved the mayor to summary action, and he notified both the strik ers and the street railway company that unless traffic was at once resumed he would seize and operate the lines In behalf of the city. This brought both sides to time, and an agreement was reached that settled the strike. WITHIN ITS MEANS. Suffrage Association Expended Than the Ileceipts. Less Seattle. July 2. The morning session of the convention of the American Wo man's Suffrage association was devoted to reports of committees and officers. The treasurer, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Up ton of Ohio, announced that receipts during the last year had been $15,420, disbursements $14,480. For field work the largest expendit ure was in Oklahoma. Henry L. Blackwell of Massachusetts. submitting the report of the committee on presidential suffrage, contended that under a supreme court decision legisla tion could, by a majority vote, give women the privilege of voting for pres idential electors. Chairman Ducia Ames Mead, of the committee oi ,reace and arbitration, in ner report sam: Women, though hating war. quite as frequently as men, a.-e deluded by the plea that peace can be insured only by huge armaments. It is the Question whether woman's suffrage would great ly lessen the vote of these supposed preventives of war. But there is no question that further reliance on rea son and lessen force would exalt re spect for woman and would relieve the objection that women's muscular in feriority had anything to do with suf frage."

Pittsburg, July 2. The strike of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers against the American Sheet Tin Plate company, which started after midnight yester day in practically all of the union plants of the United States Steel cor poration's subsidiary plants, will be extended materially, it is said, by a strike of the Tin Plate Workers' In ternational Protective association. The wage scale of the latter organization expires Julv 15, and at New Castle 3,000 additional men plan, it is said, to quit work. In the event the second strike is general, the number of men affected will total nearly 25,000. OLD SOrFofELTDEAD. Chicago, July 2.

BURIED 40 ALIVE. Landslide at the New Dock Works at Newport, England. Animal Was Shot Five Times by Its Trainer. Paris, July 2. "Princess Sylvia." an alligator trainer, said to be an American, was attacked by an alliga tor today in the presence of a big crowd at Luna park while putting the vicious reptile, which recently had been brought from Florida, through a series of exercises. The alligator seized and crushed the woman's right arm in its jaw. The trainer drew a revolver with her left hand and emptied five shots into the alligator's head. It let go its hold and the woman was removed from the cage. Her injuries are not fatal. Newport, Monmouthshire, Lng., July i 2. A landslide occurred here today a. the works connected with the new docks and as a result 40 men were buried alive. The first reports of the caruiUties placed the number at 100 men. Fighting in Persia. St. Petersburg. July 2. The dispatch from Urumiah, Persia, says the nation alists there recently attacked the Turk ish consulate and were repulsed with a loss of 10 men killed and wounded. The Turks had one man wounded. The at tack is ascribed to resentment on ac count of the entry of the Turkish troops into Urumiah and pillaging by the Kirdish irregulars accompanying them. A confiscated pipe at the police sta tion marks the end of a difficult home coming journey of Kmmett Taylor, 17 year sold. Emmett attended the St. Benedict's college, Atchison, last winter and wears a college hat. Wh.cn vacation came he was sent by his father to Virginia to spend the summer with his grandparents. He wanted to come home, however, and wrote his father, W. L. Taylor, for money, which was not forthcom ing, so he set out to bring himself home. Adventures as of knights of old fill his mental diary. But the most notable was when he was taken in for a vag at Columbus, Ohio,, and set to beating up rocks until his uncle there learned of it three days later and paid him out. Patrolman Wyatt saw the bov when he arrived in Topeka. He was dirty and ragged beyond description and lay in a doorway sleeping. The next morning the same policeman was called out to Central park to take care or a dead man lying in the bushes. He kicked the boy on the feet and up jumped Emmett very much alive. Wyatt saw him again this morning cleaned un and reoutfitted sitting in front of the Johnson house draggin contentedly on an old briar pipe. He was fined and given a quantity of good advice. Incidentally he explained the reason he jumped Ur when the police man kicked his feet in the park "Gee, my feet were sore" he laughed. HE IS A SMUGGLER. C. II.

Fear Aeroplane Slay Alight on Their Houses Or Else Descend in Their Fields of Corn. "Washington, July 2. "I would rather fly over that country In our aeroplane than- rtdo over it in your automobile," said Wilbur Wright to a scouting party preparing to traverse the dusty red Virginia roads between Fort Myer and Alexandria, along the course over which his brother is soon to fly. "You ave liable to get stuck somewhere, be side beinar covered with dust." In point of fact the automobile did punc- I ture a tire and stifling- heat along the clay bottoms and through the woods 1 7 th 7- li J S- ry t zr, Onillo right Arrivincr at Fort Meyer to Superintend the Assembling: and Flights of the Wrisfht Urothers' Airsliip for the Government Test. was all but intolerable. The course over which will be made the official flight for which the Wrights are preparing, begins at Fort Myer, across the river from Washington, on a relatively high plateau and extends somewhat east of south, five miles to the turning point on a hill, west of Alexandria, which will be made visible from Fort Myer by a small, bright yel low balloon marking its location. The country between is broken and rather heavily wooded; but at intervals there are opens fields offering landing places Is case of emergency. This broken country involves consideration of many scientific problems and the experiment is expected to be of unique value in the development of ronautics. This will be the first flight across broken country in a heavier-than-air machine. Last evening's flight over the open level parade ground at Fort Myer exhibited curious effects of build ings and foliage upon the atmospheric currents, and the conditions over an fxtensi-e and exceedingly diversified area will be studied with great inter est by the Wrights and by the army .signal corps officers. The highest alti tude yet negotiated by the Wrights in their aeroplanes is 364 feet Wilbur 'Wright making that height for a prize In France at one point in the Virginia course, if he maintains a level flight, "he will be fully 500 feet above the ground. Wrights Seem Confident. The specifications under which the IWrights secured the contract with the government under which they will, if successful, receive $25,000 for their ma chine, were generally regarded when they were made as well nigh prohibi tive. Yet, while the task is one in volving untried conditions, Orville i Wright seems not in the least concern ed about it. He has gone by automo bile over the course twice with the elgnal corps officers and while the country is not what he would prefer, he seems to entertain no thought of failure. His brother, Wilbur, appears v equally confident. This test is expected to demonstrate the value of an aeroplane in military eervice. It is not yet known whether 'the tendency of an operator flying across rough country will be to follow the inequalities of the topography. If Orville Wright can fly a level course he .iwould be practically safe from the at .tack of imaginary troops in the valley "of Four Mile Run, which flows across I the middle of the course.' If, on the other hand, through absence of marks tiy which to Judge and hold his level he follows the varying heights of hill and dale he will lose much headway and may fall of the 36 miles' speed required ty the government. He has three chances to "make good" In official trials. There are compara tively few dwellings along the course and most of those are negro, cabins; hut the farmers who do live between Fort Myer and "Shuter hill," the south ern turning point, are filled with expec tancy and view the event with varying "emotions. "When is the airship going to fly is the question flung at the signal officers at every opportunity. "Will it hurt my house if it lands on the roof?" is another the anxious ques tions. And one gray bearded farmer who grumbled about "new fangled con traptions that couldn't let poor folks who mind their own business have any rest," declared that he would make trouble if his new field of corn was damaged "by the blamed thing drop ping into it." HAKES THREE FLIGHTS. Orville Wright's Aeroplane Behaves BeautiXuUy on Trial Trips. Washington, July 2. Orville Wright kite yesterday encircled the Fort Myer lrill ground time after time in his ae roplane in three successful flights. He Has cheered by thousands of persons. Shortly before 6 o'clock the aeroplane vas wheeled from its shed to the start fci track. Previously the field had been cleared by a troop of cavalry. After the motor had been tested, the weight which gives the aeroplane its start was hoisted up and everything was ready lor a flight. The propellers were crank ed and Orville turned on the motor. The machine started down the track at a rapid rate. As it neared the end of the starting rail Orville turned up the forward horizontal rudders and the machine rose into the air. It was a beautiful start. Down the field the aeroplane sailed, curved grace fully about the lower end and back up the east side of the field along the :dge to regain the familiarity wun me ground over which he was traveling, he increased the radius of his trips about the field. The first round was made in 5 seconds. Five times the machine skirted the field, attaining a height which varied from 15 to 30 feet. On the sixth round Mr. Wright came to earth within a few hundred feet of the starting point, completing the flight in exactly five minutes. The landing was perfect, the machine swooping down in successive glides until within a few feet of the earth when Orville pulled the string which stopped his mo tor and the aeroplane glided smoothly over the grass on its skids. Another flignt was made. This start was as successful as the first. Nine rounds of the field were made this time in a few seconds less than 8 minutes. He made another graceful landing but flew dangerously close to the ground for some time before stop ping his motor and descending. The machine was again returned to the starting rail at 7 o'clock. In his third flight Orville remained aloft for a few seconds more than nine minutes and encircled the field nine and a half times. For one complete round ne new very close to the ground, evidently pre paring to land. This he did within 200 feet of the aeroplane shed. This time he reached a height of 40 feet.

Clyde, the home of the luscious watermelon, will celebrate Independencs day this year on Saturday, July 3. The people of the state are all familiar with the ex cellent entertainment furnished by Clyde at all of her celebrations, and this one will surpass anything ever held there for a general good time. The main feature of the day will be two ball games between the Kansas City lied Sox and Formoso, Kansas, teams. There will be plenty of other amusements also. Dirigible Xo. 1 at Top, Which Has Jus t DOORJOJJOOR, Young Men Chosen to Circulate Petitions To Travel Up and Down Kansas Avenue. ALL GIVEN A CHANCE. Report That Colored People Fear Outcome. Every Citizen Benefited by Com mission Form. The active circulation of petitions for the commission form of government commences next week when the 12 young men of the Commercial club se lected by George Badders, secretary, go up and down Kansas avenue with the petitions, explaining ihe advantages of the new system of municipal govern merit to the business men and secur ing- all of the signatures possible. The 32 men selected for this work are Judge Ernest Raymond Simon of the court of Topeka, County UOirnms sioner Ed O'Neil. Clerk of the Court of Topeka Rad M. Lee, Assistant coun ty Attorney A. J. Bolinger, Jas. McClure, Clay Hamilton, Assistant City Attorney James Clarke, if. C. wnson, narom Tice, O. G. Ritchie and Frank Curry. The first eight men are lawyers in this city. These young men will be given a course of instructions Thursday after noon by J. B. Larimer and Clad Ham ilton, assisted by others of the com mittee. They will give to the solicitors of signatures a large number of the finer points of the new system and thev will be transferred thus to the business men and all those who come into contact with the hustling sup porters of the reform movements. Ev ery person has a question or a series of" questions to ask about the new form of municipal government and it is en tirely necessary that the committee be well informed. The business houses &lons Kansas avenue, the more import ant just off from Ihe avenue ana in; larger office buildings will be canvass ed. C. E. Jordan, councilman rrom m TT-i-at ,.-arri is of the opinion that every man 'who could find time should carry a petition in his pocket and re- i V,;D tti -j n n c. t- ATr. ceive MKiiaiui cb in iu Jordan has circulated a number of petitions in North Topeka and in spite of the cry that the laboring men and the colored men would be opposed to it. Mr. Jordan says that they are flocking to the support of the commis sion form. There has been a lot of talk going around the city concerning the atti tude of the colored people on the com mission plan. They really do have an idea that they will not be properly represented but a number of them have dropped into the State Journal office and have seemed very favorably inclined to the proposed reform. However, there are still a few color ed people who are dubious as to their chances and their rights in case the commissioners were elected. There is no need for fear of non representation. In case five commis sioners and a mayor were elected the colored people of Topeka would re ceive just as much representation as they do at the present time. Positions and places under the city government are not given with respect to color, nationality or political inclinations. The Topeka city government is not "man who delivers the goods" is the "man who delivers the goods' is the man who wins a place under the ad ministration and with the commission form the rights and rewards of a ca pable, honest man arc honored with even more attention. The commission form of government is' good for the whole city of Topeka and every citizen within the gates. It can be and will be proven. Two Austrian Miners Drowned. Leavenworth, Kan., July 2. Frank Orenbicki drowned while bathing in a lake near this city and his companion, Albert Knipick. who could not swim, slipped from an improvised raft while attempting to rescue his friend, and also sank to his death. Both men were young Austrians em ployed in the coal mines here. The bodies were recovered. Been Purchased from Captain Bald Aeroplane Beloir MAY BE LING'S BODY. Dead Chinaman Found Floating In the Hudson River. I.ew York, July 2. Although com.' plete identification was impossible, there is a strong probability that the body of a Chinaman found floating in the Hudson river is that of Leon Ling, murderer of Elsie SigeL The man s height, weight and general ap pearance tallies with that of Leon Ling, but as the body was nearly- nude and had been in the water for more than a week a thorough exam ination will be necessary. Coroner McDonald, who was the first to in spect the body, believes it Is Leon. A number of policemen think the same. Until measurements and facial char acteristics are carefully gone over, nowever, the identification will re main in doubt. If It is Leon, the cause of his death will be another mystery, although the suicide theory would appear reason able. The body was discovered by Clinton W. Bell, a resident of Harlem, who was out in the river in a motor boat. Bell secured the body, then communi cated with the police. Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene and the body was taken to a morgue in the Bronx where the examination was begun. In salient features there was marked resemblance between the dead Chinaman and the official de scription of the missing Leon. The teeth were good as Leon's, the height about five feet four inches, which was Leon's height The weight, 125 pounds, which was about the same as Leon's The age of the dead man appeared to be about 25 or 30 years. Leon's age was given out by the police as 30. The right arm of the body was greatly discolored, but whether from violence or from the effects of the water could not be ascertained. An autopsy will be performed as the coroner was unable to arrive at any conclusion as to how the Chinaman met his death. NOT CHINAMAN AT AIL. Body Found in the Hudson Was That or a. White Boy. New York, July 2. The body, sup posed at first to be that of a China man, which was found in the Hudson river last night, was not that of Leon Ling, who Is charged with the murder of Elsie Sigel. Alter an autopsy today. Dr. Thomas Curtin, coroners physician, declared tne body was that of a white boy not more than 18 vears old. The discoloration following long immersion gave the body the appear ance of that of a Mongolian. HE SHOT TWO MEN. A Young Parsee Assassinated Sir Wil liam WylUe. London, July 2. A striking double assassination of a colitical character occurred late last night towards the conclusion of a public gathering at the Imperial institute. An Indian student whose name is not known, shot and killed Lt. Col. Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Calas Lalcaca, of Shang hai. Those near the assassin seized and held him until the arrival of the police. He had two revolver, a. dagger and a knife. The gathering at the Imperial institute, a building devoted to Indian and other colonial functions, was an "at home" to Indian students. E. W. Thornburn, one of the guests, thus de scribed the tragedy: "It was near 11 o'clock and the musi cal program was Just concluding when I saw a middle aged English gentle man conversing with a young Indian etudent, dressed in a dark jacket and wearing a pale blue turban. "Suddenly the native drew a revolver and fired four shots at the head of the Englishman. "Then came another shot as the Eng lishman fell, and a sixth which struck an elderly Indian standing a few yards away and who fell shot in the side. "I rushed at the assassin and others sprang forward at the same time. We seized him, but he struggled, and wrest ing one hand free, placed the revolver to his forehead and pulled the trigger. It clicked harmlessly as he had fired all of his shots. "We shouted for doctors and the police. Meantime there was a terrible commotion and the folding doors fin ally closed to prevent the people from looking upon the fearful sight. "At this moment some one exclaim- win by the Government, Wright Bros. ed in a horror stricken voice, "Why, it is Curzon Wyllie.' "Then a stately woman in evening dress came to discover what had hap pened. Looking at the figure and not immediately recognizing it, she said V "Poor fellow.' "She then knelt down, and as she looked closely at the disfigured face a look of horror leaped into her eyes ana sne exclaimed: "it is my husband, why wasn't I with him? "It was Lady Wyllie, who had left her husband, only a few minutes be fore. The scene was terrible, the lady kneeling by the side of her dead husband, while a group of men near by were holding the assassin, whose otner victim was groaning on the ground a few yards away. The victims were removed to hospital. Dr. Lalcaca was dead when they reached there. Dr. Lalcaca was a Parsee and from the evidence it would seem that he was shot accidentally. The assassin, who is also a Parsee Is about 25 years of age. He was self- possessed after his arrest and main tained an obstinate silence. The iden tification of the man was impossible as a great number of visiting cards bearing different names were found on him. COTTON UP $2 A BALL Government Crop Report Brings Heavy Buying Orders. New York, July 2. Heavy buying orders flooded the New York cotton market when the government crop re port was made public today. Prices advanced sharply about 40 points over last night s closing until the October option sold at 12.00, December at 12.03 and January at 12.02.

YOUNG GIRL BRUTALLY BEATEN Norton County Alan Used Harness Strap on Helpless Niece. Norton, Kan.. July 2. Jim Monta gue, living in the northwest part of town, gave his little eleven year old niece a severe beating. Two of Montague's nieces, daughters of his brother, from the old country, have been keeping house for him. One of the girls is eleven years old and the other considerably younger. They were all fixing a screen when it seems the little girls let the screen fall on Jim's head. He immediately flew into a passion, and picking up a piece of harness struck the oldest girl a vicious blow across the head, cutting the head and an ear, and then began beating her brutally over the back. When the younger girl saw what was going on, she ran. The one Jim was beating ran to the store on the hill, with her face bloody. Word was immediatelv phoned to Marshal Reed but when he arrived on the scene Montague had gone to the country Warrants have been issued for him from both the city and the county. and the gentleman will be asked to explain his brutal actions.

There will be no hasty action taken by the na tional board of United Mine Workers in the calling of a strike in this dis trict. Such in substance was the word received from National Presi dent Lewis. This leaves the local situation rather complicated. Several mines in the south end are shut down, including all those at Mineral. The fact that the miners nave nere quit work without the sanction of Na tional President Lewis or District President Howat makes the situa tion rather a delicate one. In all nrobabilitv the men will be returned to work pending the settlement by the national board, but this will not be settled until after a meeting of the district board. BABY IX AX ATCHISOX AYELL.

Washington, July 2. The committee erpointed by Secretary ilson, com pcsed of Di A. T. Melvtn of the bureau of animal industry, and Georgi P. McCabe. solicitor of the departmen which investigated the charges of F. Harms that the federal meat inspec tion service at East St. Louis wa "rotten end a farce,"' today reported that the inspectors there were hones men and performing their duties em ciently and that no meat had passed which was unfit for human food. The reDort which was submitted to the secretary and approved by him, de dares, while there is absolutely no basis for the charges made by Mr Harms, they will, undoubtedly, reflect injuriously on the foreign market for .American meat food products. The report concludes as follows: "It is the belief of your committee that the manufacturers at the East St. Lcuis station, are absolutely honest and competent; that they are discharging their duty to the service and to the public in a conscientious, high minded efficient way and that no meat is pass ed from the East St. Louis station bear- ire the mark of federal inspection which is not in every respect fit for human food. The record shows that many of the employes at the East St. Louis station have worked overtime in their efforts to give an honest, efficient inspection and it is to be regretted that the word of a disgruntled, dissat isfied employe, irresponsible and an swerable to no one, should be made the occasion of an attack on a service vhtch 's honestly conducted and which means so much to the American con Turner of meat products and to the cat tle, sheep and hog raiser of the coun try, who are bound to suffer from any rltack. no matter how uncalled for, which may be made upon the service. As the result of the report. Secretary Wilson ha ordered the summary dis n istal of Meat Inspectors Harms and Bischof and Veterinarian Inspector Michael. was president of Oregon university be fore he came to Kansas. This makes the second doctor's degree that Chan cellor Strong has received this year, tne nrst having Deen bestowed upon mm Dy Baker university at its semi centennial celebration some weeks ago. PLEA FOR, 3Li.IL SERVICE. Chancellor Frank Strong Honored Lawrence, Kan., July 2. Word was received in Lawrence that the Univer sity of Oregon at its commencement exercises conferred the degree of LL. I. upon Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas. Mr. Strong Physicians agree that the length of hair can be en couraged but that there is no cure for the disease of baldness. It is a well-known ract tnat more charlatanism is rampant today on the subject of the scalp and hair than ex ists concerning any other subject, ex cepting, perhaps, consumption. Dr. Is'ott says: "Among the thousands of cases that have passed under my In spection. I have seen but very few au thenticated instances where baldness has been successfully treated; of course, if there was among the patent medicines anything that would accom plish the result we wm-M know of It and would at least try It. So far as restoring hair to color or promoting the length of the hair, that's another matter. The Q-Ban Hair Restorer, for instance, will restore gray hair to Its natural color. I have used the Q Ban Hair Tonic as well, very often and effectually to encourage the growth of a luxuriant crop of hair to remove dandruff, etc., but I have as yet to rec ord a single case of baldness that has been effectually treated, without hav ing to resort to a general hygienic treatment In connection with standard products, like, for instance. Q-Ban Hair Restorer and the Hair Tonic I have found them to be very effectual assistants. Dr. Nott admits and insists that to produce a luxuriant growth of hair, to restore gray hairs, cure dand ruff and diseased scalps is quite pos sible by simply observing the laws of health and using Q-Ban Hair Restor er and Tonic, but for baldness there Is. as a rule, no cure; a'though some re markable exceptions may be noted. Q-Ban Restorer and Tonic can be had now at all druggists, put up ready for use with full directions given as to the aDclication. If you are gray haired or becom ing gray, you can have the first full sized 50 cent package of Hair Restor er by simply mailing your address and It cents in postage to Hessig-Ellis Drug Company. Memphis, Tenn., or call at either of Marshall Bros.' drug stores, 135 Kansas avenue, and 511 Kan has avenue. Atwood Excited Because or Proposed Discontinuance of star Route. The commercial club of Atwood tnrousrh its committee, composed of Sen ator Fred Robertson, J. M. Turner and tranK i,. Jtobmson have petitioned th rostomce department at Washington to iccunsiaer tno determination to discon tinue the star mail route between Colby and Atwood. Atwood is located on the Burlington In Rawiins county while Colby is on the kock island about 40 miles south of Atwood and is in Thomas county. These towns have transacted considerable business with each other in the past ana a mail route directly across the country is of great commercial benefit to both of them. If this route is riiss- continued mail would have to be car ried by railroad clear to Alma. Neh.. on its route from one town to the other. in otner words these towns located only 40 miles apart, would have to send their mall nearly 200 miles over a round about route. These towns are located ir the same congressional and senator ial districts and have much business in common with each other. To cut off this mail route would mean that Atwood citizens will have to wait 26 hours long er for their mail from eastern points. In dealing with the state capital at Topeka Atwood people can send mail through by way of Colby over the Rock Island and it will reach its destination the next day, while with this mail route discontinued the mail will have to eo over the Burlington by way of Xebras- Ka ana wni not reach Tcpeka until the third day thereafter. The ciosmg paragraph of the petition sent by tne Atwood Commercial club to ashmgeon is as follows: "We live In Kansas and protest be ing annexed to the state of Nebraska for any purpose. The Colby mail route the only way we have of maintaining direct connection with the people of our state. To discontinue this route would practically make us a part of Nebraska. As the service now is, we Set our daily papers of the evening efore at noon the next day. The lead- ng daily paper of our state prints and mails its largest edition on Saturday night and we get it over the Colby route :unrtay noon, ihls gives us that daily on Sunday noon. The paper referred to, the Topeka Dally State Journal, has over 150 subscribers at Atwood. Take off this route and we would not get trese papers until Monday at 1:30 p. m." it would appear that the discontin uance of this mail route will work a lardship upon Atwood and serve no end of economy. The permanency of a tar mail route is based entirely upon he amount of business done and the aving in time over railroad mail ser vice, and not from the viewpoint of economy, it is expected that this mail route will be saved for Rawlins county when the matter is explained to the postal department by some of the Kan sas congressional delegation at Wash ington. White is the predominating color at the Chautauqua today. The afitinoon programme was given over to the ladies of the W. C. T. U. organization. The principal speaker was John Mar shall, assistant attorney general, form erly attorney for the State Temperance union. Mr. Marshall talked along tem perance lines and his remarks were much appreciated by the prohibition advocates. An enjoyable programjie Of music and readings was carried out including a vocal number by Miss Ona May Miller, reading by Miss Ceora Lanham, and a whistling sola, cleverly rendered by Mrs. Hatton. The noi'n ing session was well attended. -iJ -V 'If ik Mr Edward Ahnierst Ott, Orator." The Purposeful An entertainment which -.-as pernaps as thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience as any attraction which has as yet been presented at tne Chautau qua was that given by Wherahiko Rawei. his wife, and child Rae, who hail from the South Sea islands. Al though Rawei is the son of a cannibal he speaks almost perfect Engiiii and is the possessor of an unusual faculty to entertain by his witty remarks and interesting stories of life among the Maoris of New Zealand. Mrs. Rawei who has a clear musical voice speaks with a decided English accent. The whole performance was so entirely out of the ordinary that the assemblv sat in rapt attention throughout the evening. The entertainers, who were clad in native attire, eang mp.ny of their island chants and love ballads, and went through a war song and dance which was especially appreciated by the youngsters. The native New Zealanders depend largely upon fish for their food. The housewives have rather an easy time of it inasmuch as all they have to do when they wish to cook the dinner is to place the food in a basket and drop it for a few minutes into a boiling geyser: When thev wish n. bake a fish they do it in the hot mud. A dress maker is unknown among these people. They wear a loose garment made from bark or some kind of fiber. Among the women there is much beauty, but when KAPPA SIGMA BITS.

One of the very peculiar customs of these aborigines is that tf rubbing noses as a means' Of greeting instead of indulging in a hand shake. Mr. Rawei spoke of one occasion on which he found it necessary to rub 200 nose, and he said that one could well im agine the soreness of his facial extrem ity! The lantern slides shown durine the tvenmg were clear and most exquisite ly tinted. The pictures of beautiful river and other scenes were almost suf ficiently attractive to make one wish to take a trip immediately to New Zea land.

Travelinig Accessories The Best Ever COME AND SEE THE Toggery 602 Kansas Ave. JJ New Tork. July 2. The Congrega tionalists of the United states have just announced the raising of more than $300,000 of a fund of $500,000 to liquidate the Indebtedness of the American board of foreign missions, the home missionary and the Amer ican missionary, the latter working amon? Indians, negroes and other classes in this country. This prac tically assures the success- of the gigantic undertaking. Soon after the first of the year when it was learned that these three church organizations owed about $280,000 it was decided to raise a half million dollars to pay off this debt and create an income-bearing fund. Prominent men took up the matter and meetings have been held In more than one hundred cities in the Cnited States In seeking subscriptions It was stipulated that none should be come due until a total or at least $300,000 had been rledged and that amount had be to be subscribed by July- 1, or the undertaking would be abandoned. When this time limit expired, the subscriptions were counted up at the headquarters of the Congregationalists in this city ana the announcement is made that they total between $310, 000 and $315,000. This money will now be collected and the committee will continue seeking subscriptions until the total of $300,000 has been raised. Y. M. C. A. BOYS ARE BUSY. EMakinir Ready for tlie Outing at Maple Hill. There is great activity at the Cen tral Y. M. C. A. in connection with the preparation for coming events. Fifty boys have already enlisted for the summer camp at Maple Hill, and oth ers will undoubtedly follow suit btfore the tents are pitched. The first con tingent of 24 boys will tramp to their camping grounds on July 6. These are the boys of the junior department and naturally enough those who have never before experienced the pleasures of camp life and are looking forward with the greatest excitement to the coming of the "great" event. The fol lowing boys compose the junior con tingent: Hampton Shirer, Charles Hobart, Harold McKibben, Lyman Malone, Ralph Kingsley. Charles Freeman. Mark Widener, Sam Stewart. Richard Righter.

Another occurrence which bids fair to prove of extreme interest to the public as well as to those who partici pate is the final session of the winter classes in swimming. It will take place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and the friends of the boys, and those interested in the work of the Y. M. C. A., are invited to attend. The mem bers of the boys' class will work for points during the exhibition of their skill. Many of theboys could not swim at ail when the class was first organized, and those who could swim have perfected their stroke. The on lookers will be delighted with the skill shown in life saving exhibitions, un dressing under water, and diving. The latter will include the high, swan, jack-knife and "waggle bug" dives. Among the strokes which will be used by the boys will be the sailor, side, modified side, overhand, crawl and modified crawl stroke with the turn under water, as used by Daniels of the New York Athletie club, the champion swimmer of the world.

"Our trade U better than ever before, and the farmers are buying the best of goods, lots of them, and are paying for them, but they are not wasting any time in eo doing. Usually a farmer will tele phone in that his wife or daughter will be in the city at a certain time and will wish to take certain articles home. We know what this means and see that the articles are tied up and j ready for the purchasers. "When the member of the farmer's fnmil.. opfiroo V .1 SfpTlPrallv She. hOW- ever drives at once to the store, asks for the articles referred to ana anves back home as soon as the goods are In the buggy. "The shoppers do not spend any time gossiping or discussing politics. They are needed at the farm either for house work or work in the field, and the driving horses are also needed for the latter purpose. According to Indications this will be a prosperous year with farmers." Extra feature at the Bijou Dream tonight onlv, "The Last Days of Pompeii." Other interesting subjects also.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING JULY 2, 1909. r0ETY Miss Mary Daniels. Miss Clara Daniels and .Miss Rose Mitchell gave a mornins tea at the Daniels suburban place. Twenty-first and To peka avenue, today. The hours were from 9 to 12 and the hostesses were assisted by Mrs. George Mitchell, Mrs. Wayland Campbell, Miss Louise "Wood. Miss Katharine Kellam, Miss Madeline Whitney, Miss Frances Mitchell, with Ruth Wood and Maxine Mitchell at the punch bowls. The house was decorated with garden flowers, principally nasturtiums and sweet peas. This little gown was developed in fine white swiS3 with decorations of ribbon in, a delicate shade of heliotrope. The blouse is nearly hid den by the lace-edged fichu which drapes the shoulders and is held at the bust by straps and rosettes or tne ribbon. The short draped sleeves are finished by three lace ruffles headed by twists and rosettes of ribbon. Clusters of tucks with a lace ruffle be low each group trim the upper part of the long skirt, while the deep flounce is trimmed with a single broad band of lace above three deep tucks of the material. It is impossible to realize, until July is upon us. how hot the Kansas summers are. For almost three months July, August and part of September we have a tropical cli mate in thi3 locality, with a five hun dred mile journey by rail to the mountains or the lakes between us and relief. People who have been in the tropics say the Kansas summer is worse because here we have no neighboring mountains and no large body of water, which give the resi dents of our southern cities, for in stance a breathing spell for the even ing or' the week-end at slight trouble and expense. And yet, in Kansas, we continue the customs and habits of the temperate zones, through the frightful heat of the torrid months. In the southern states everybody knocks off at noon in summer, shops and offices are closed and all possible lines of business discontinued for half a day. In Kansas we keep eternally at work no matter what the tempera ture. There is really no sense in it for the volume of business, especially in the retail trades falls off in the sum mer and could just as well be transacted in half a day giving man agers and employes the afternoon to rest and recuperate. If everybody agreed to this plan everybody would have just as much money and a whole lot more nerve force at the end of the summer. In the tropics men as well as women, wear linen or cot ton clothing. Why not in Kansas through July and August? Linen suits are certainly better looking and more comfortable than wool The fashions for women this summer are more suitable and sensible than for some seasons past. Low collars are permissible and although long sleeves are more fashionable, short ones are not impossible. The past two years a coat was de riguer (which was fully as bad as it sounds) with all street costumes and although the style was set on the seaboard where the wealthy fashionables spend the summer on palatial yachts or whiz zing about in their touring cars and where a wrap is a necessity for com fort most of the time, we in Topeka Kan., followed the dictates of fashion established by and for people whose lives could not be more different from ours if we lived on different planets. So we sweltered and sizzled ia heavy coats and worried over the extra laundry bills like the bloomin Idiots we are. Thi3 summer a coat is not demanded, the Dutch neck frock is prevalent, one may wear short sleeves without danger of arrest, and life is, altogether more like living this sum mer than for a number f summers past. Mrs. A. T. Lucas will give a lunch eon next Thursday for Mrs. A. W. Davis of Kansas City and Miss Eda Smythe of Denver. Many Topeka people will be inter ested in the announcement of the marriage of Miss Alice Harriett Tucker of Manhattan and Mr. Dean Collier Arnold of Boise City, Idaho, which took place Tuesday, June 2 9, in Denver. Miss Grace Tucker ac companied her sister to Denver where Mr. Arnold met them. The bride has often visited Mrs. F. G. W. Travis, 1835 Park, avenue, and Mr. Arnold who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Arnold of Westmoreland, was for merly a student at Washburn. They will be at home in Boise where Mr. Arnold is in the automobile business. A visiting girl tells this story: "In our family the one meek and com pletely subdued member is brother Jack. He never has a word to say in defense of his own ideas or prefer ences about domestic affairs. H never complains, never suggests, nev er grumbles. But because he rarely speaks, and the rest of us chatter all the time, and we have found that si lence has a power to impress even the simple-minded, we make of his imag inary displeasure, an instrument of awe and terror to the cook. In our conferences with her we speak of Mr. Jack's extraordinary fastidiourpiess and throw out dark hints of the re sults of his displeasures.' 'Mr. Jack never Says much, we tell Aunty and then pause impressively 'But he likes hia coffee so-and-so.' 'Yaz'm, she an swers hastily and seriously and the coffee is always to Mistah Jack's lik ing after that. When we want to complain about something and are afraid to. for fear the cook will leave, we say to her, 'Mr. Jack was grum bling about the way the living room was kept today. He said very boolc he picked up had dust on it.' Or 'Mr. Jack didn't Say much but he didn't like the steak tonight.' A woman just naturally recognizes her master. man, and a look from the man or tne house has more weight with the cook than a lecture from her mistress. Mrs. W. R. Carrie gave a luncheon for twenty-four today at the home of her mother. Mrs. D. O. Crane in honor of her sister. Mrs. A. W. Davis of Kansas City and of Miss Eda Smythe of Denver. The guests were seated at two tables decorated with bowls of nasturtiums and a victorola concert followed the luncheon. Miss Bertha Cheney of Jewell City, a Washburn graduate well known in Topeka, and Mr. Pete Crandall, a Jewell City business man, were mar ried Wednesday evening and have gone to Colorado for their honey moon. At home in Jewell City. Miss Cheney graduated from Washburn in 1904 and Mr. CrandeU is a graduate of the University of Kansas and is a Phi Delt. Miss Alice Huntington gave a luncheon followed by whist Thursday for Miss Irene Carter. The others asked were Miss Florence Davis, Misa Freda Betts, Miss Helen Casey, Miss Kathleen Middaugh, Miss Marguerite Kiene. Miss Mary Cooper, Miss Blanche Wharton, Miss Marie Palm er. Miss Rose Lovitt, Miss Pauline Pettyjohn. Miss Katharine Carter, Miss Molly Sipes, Miss Isabel Dicken son, Miss Miriam Foster.. Miss Ethel Parfitt, Miss Josephine Doran, Miss Mattia Benedict.

The first thing to do when threatened with nervous trouble is to stop the cause of it, if possible, whether it is irregular living, worry, or whatever it may be. Then the nerves must be given special nourishment and the blood must be kept pure and rich. This is the mission of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and this is why the pills have I been used with such great success In nervous trouble that did not yield loi ordinary methods of treatment. These pills are a tonic for both men I and women but are especially adapted I for girls and women of all ages, and give health and strength to the nervous and exhausted as is shown by the ex perience of Mrs. H. J. Bradford, of No. 1514 Spurgeon street, Santa Ana, Cal. She says: "A few years ago I began to lose flesh rapidly until I weighed only about 100 pounds. Before this I had always been well and quite fleshy. I also became very nervous and would lie awake all night long. I had frequent crying spells which I could not seem to help and whlcr. the least little thing would. bring on. Excitement or noise made me very nervous. I had a craving for sour I things but my appetite was variable. At times I would feel very well but this would be only when I kept very quiet. "The doctor pronounced my trouble! neurasthenia or nervous debility. I was j under his care for over two years. Sometimes he would treat me' regular ly and then he might not have to call in two months. I did not get well un der his treatment and was Anally ad vised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills by a friend who had used them for nerv ousness. After taking a few boxes of the pills I could sleep better and I be gan to Improve gradually until l was cured. I haven't been troubled with nervousness in some years now and consider the benefit I received from Dr. Williams Pink Pills to be wonderful." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their nourish ment from the blood, have been found Invaluable in a wide range of diseases of the blood and nerves, such as rheu matism, after-effects of the grip and fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, St. Vitus' dance and even partial pa ralysis and locomotor ataxia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, BO cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenestady, N.

A Topeka family, too shif'less to put up fruit for themselves, have a scheme for "boiling" it from their "industrious friends." When they hear a woman brag about her "sun-kissed" strawber ries or cherries they say that they never tasted any canned strawberries oi cherries that were fit to eat. "You haven't!" screams the housewife who is proud of her 175 quarts of canned fruit. 'Well, you ought to taste some of mine! I'll bet you never tasted 'sun kissed' strawberries. I'll just send you a can of mine and one of the cherries. too, and if you don't say they're the Best!" The scheme' has worked so! successfully that the shif'less family is supplied with canned cherries and strawberries, currant jelly, blackberry, gooseberry and raspberry jam, and ex pects to get grape juice, pickled peach es, chow-chow, catsup and chill sauce by the same method. Here is a product of the millinery art of Paris along the lines of the tailored hat. As in all branches of dress the French designers hold a position of undisputed superiority, so in this line they have reached the height of beauty and style without sacrificing the severe lines considered proper for this style of headgear.
