Determined to SupportAttorney General in Enforcing Law. Correspondence During the Con troversy Given Out. The story that Governor Stubbs threatened to resign his membership li the Topeka club for the reason that organization continued to operate the locker system in the face of the attorney general's opinion that such action was unlawful was given out by some of the club officials. The gover r.or neither affirmed nor denied the etory.However, sjncethe publlcation-of xn article today in which It is stated that the governor has made good his threat end resigned from the club, the gover nor, for the first time, has given out some information on the subject. He feels that, in view of the many reports In circulation, that the publication of the correspondence In connection with this incident will set his case clearly before the public. The following copies of the corres pendence between the governor and the l-resident of the Topeka club is self- txplanatory June 28. 1909. Mr. W. A. Ia. Thompson, President, the Topeka Club, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: The attorney general has j rendered an opinion that the locker system in clubs Is in violation of the laws of our state. I believe a majority of the members of the Topeka club, like myself, do not and never have been in favor of the locker plan, and I. for one, would be glad to see the club eliminate this feature of their organi zation. It is a great convenience and almost a necessity to have some place to en tertain outside visitors in Topeka, a.nd I have very much appreciated my membership on this account. Whilo I perhaps have not been inside the club n an average of more than once or i twice a year for the past two or three years, there are times I need to have a place to take prominent visitors, espe cially when my family are absent from the city, as is the case at the present. I shall very much regret on this ac count if it becomes necessary for mc to cancel my membership, but ohsul deem it my duty to do so unless the members of the club decide immediate ly to comply with the terms of our law. Yours very respectfully, (Signed) W. R. STU3P.S. Topeka, Kan.. June 30, 1909. Gov. W. R. Stubbs, Topeka, Kan. Dear sir: I am in receipt of yoursof the 28th, and in reply will say that the Topeka club has, at no time, broken the laws I of .Kansas ana tne locicers are me property of members, who are scat tered all over the state. You are no doubt familiar with the working of the club since you have been a member, therefore you will know that it would be very dif ficult for the officers to bring about the change you suggest without a membership meeting. However, I will place your request before the board of directors at the earliest pos sible moment, and will make report of their action. We should be very sorry indeed to have you give up your membership, but this is a matter entirely In your hands. Tours very respectfully. (Signed.) W. A. L. THOMPSON, President.. The" Topeka Club. July 7. 1909. W. A. L. Thompson. President, The Topeka Club, Topeka, Kan. Dear Sir: Tour valued favor re ceived. After carefully reading your letter I am convinced there is noth ing for me to do but to ask you to cancel my membership in the Topeka club. I am determined to give the attorney general the full support of my administration in his effort to en force the law, and I believe Topeka. the capital city, ought to set a whole some example for the other cities throughout the state. If the Topeka club can keep liquor stored for Its members there is no reason why any other club in Kan sas may not do the same thing. I think it would be better for the city of Topeka. as well as the members of this club, if the club would set a good example by eliminating this feature from their organization at once rath er than be compelled to do so by the courts of the state. With much re spect, very truly yours, (Signed) W. R. STtTBBS. PICKS ITS ALIENISTS. The State Continues Its Efforts Keep Thaw in the Asylum. to White Plains. N. T.. July 13 Deputy Attorney General Clark announced at the resumption today of the inquiry into the present mental condition of Harry K. Thaw before Justice Mills that Doctons Austin Flint and Carlos B. McDonald would be the alienists called by the state to examine the plaintiff. Dr. Amos B. Baker, assist ant superintendent of Matteawan asy lum, who had Thaw under observation, will make up the trio of experts for the state. Thaw's counsel said he was not ready to announce the names of the plaintiff's alienists until he had conferred with his client. It was said Thaw would submit to fan examination by the state's experts at the close of the lay testimony in the case. Deputy Attorney General Clark said this morning that he had no definite assurance that Evelyn Nes blt Thaw, the plaintiff's wife, would appear in court today in answer to the state's subpoena. W. W. Smith, of Poughkeepsie. who is more than 60 years of age, and who admitted hesitatingly that he was known in Poughkeepsie as a philan thropist, testified he had met Thaw on two or three occasions and talked with liim on religious subjects. "I told him we were brother men and, should try to alleviate each other's troubles and sorrows," the witness said "I told him I was one among many who were friendly to him. He told me he was a Presbyterian and we talked about the Bible and about Christ s sympathetic attitude toward sinners Mr. Thaw seemed to be very well read and have a good knowledge of the ta ble. His conversation was very ra tional." Otto Metz. a New Tork court officer and former keeper of the Tombs prison, testified he frequently talked politics with Thaw. "He certainly convinced me that the silver question and Bryanism would be a bad thing for the country, said the witness. Deputy Attorney General Clark ob jected to the answer and Justice Mills instructed the witness to confine him self to the actual conversations be tween himself and Thaw. The witness said Thaw told him he thought Roose velt was a "strong man" and made a good president. GIVEN SEVEN YEARS. Christian Johnson Pleads Guilty to Charjje of Bigamy. San Jose, Cal., July 13. Christian Johnson, believed to be the notorious bigamist "Madison," has been sen tenced by Judge Welch in the superior court here to serve seven years in the state penitentiary at San Quintln. When Johnson was arraigned he gave as his true name Christian C. Johnson, and immediately pleaded guilty to the charge of bigamy. After sentence had been pro nounced Mrs. Tretheway's attorney obtained an order from the court en joining Johnson from disposing of his diamond ring and other personal effects pending her suit against him. HE CAN'T CO l NT THEM. Johnson Doesn't Remember How Many Women He Married. San Francisco, Cal., July 13. Christian C. Johnson, sentenced yes terday at San Jose to serve seven years in the penitentiary for bigamy ia reported to have confessed that he ia the mysterious "John Madson" wanted in many parts of the country for irregular matrimonial ventures and systematic swindling of women under promise of marriage. Johnson's alleged confession how ever which is printed today In a local newspaper, is so full of inconsis tencies and so at variance with state ments he has made since his arrest in this city last week, that the police authorities are not inclined to give full credence. In this confession Johnson declares that he has been married to so many women that he can not count them off hand. "In 1906," he said, "I quit my business of buying horses and from mat day to tnis l nave Deen matting my living by marrying and making love to women, getting their money and then deserting them." I One of his most amazing feats, ac- cording to his own confession was malting love to ten women at one time in Portland. While he admits that he got money from most of them and that his marriages were part of a "get rich quick" system, Johnson declares that in every instance he spent the money he received upon the victim herself. "They kept me broke all the time," as the way he expresses it. Johnson was born in Germany and coming to this country In the seventies, secured a post with the United States government buying horses for the army on commission. This tooK him all over the country. At first, he says, he was a woman hater, because he had been separated from a sweetheart in Ger many, who died later. He married the first of his many wives in Springfield. Mass., in 1905. She was Mrs. Mary Brown. "I married only one woman under the name of John Madson." Johnson de clared. "Her name was Jones if I remember rightly Eliza Jones. I got $1,800 from her because she said she loved me. I could have gotten $50, 000." AFTER KANSAS ALFALFA Albert French of Ohio Wants It to i'eed to Cows. Albert French, one of the' biggest dairymen in the state of Ohio, was a caller at the office of the secretary of agriculture. He came to Kansas to buy alfalfa for his dairy cows. Mr. French furnishes ten thousand gallons of milk daily to the consumers in Cincinnati and besides runs a big condensing sta tion ar.d manufactures ice cream. He buys milk and cream from 3,500 Ohio farms and himself keeps 250 cows from which he secures certified milk for his Cincinnati milk wagons. Mr. French was proud of the corn standing in the Ohio fields until ne i reached western Missouri when he grew doubtful, but when lie struck Kansas he realized that the Ohio article was only an imitation. He had seen no such corn anywhere between Ohio and0 the Kansas border. Speaking of his trip Mr. French said: "I have come all the way to Kansas for alfalfa for my dairy cows. I se cured several car loads here last year from Judge Mohler of Topeka and came back for another sixty car loads this year. I got here just in time to pa.ss Mohler's train on the way east where he sails for Kurope. However. T am still hopeful of finding the alfalfa." ORGANIZE THE CITY CLERKS That Is the Plan or Mr. Topeka. Burge of City Clerk Cornelius B. Buree has a plan that will bring at least 50 out of town people to Topeka during the fall festival in September. Sir. Burge has been planning a state organization of city clerks for some time and practically all of the city clerks over the state have written to him approving of his plans. During the fall festival in Topeka this coming September Mr. Burge will attempt to gather in Topeka the city clerks of 50 of the largest cities in the state and while they are here a state organiza tion will be formed and the clerks wl'l also be entertained during the fall cele -brations. "Take such cities as Salina Abilene. Manhattan and Herington they are all live towns and would be interested in a compact, uniform and modern way of city bookkeeping," said Mr. Burge this afternoon. I NO SESSION NOW. Sentiment For Convening Legis lature Is Waning. Best Informed Think There Will Ee None. JACKSON'S OPINION. Attorney General Satisfied That It Is Unnecessary. Poll by the Governor Is Nearly Completed. The chances are now very much against a special session of the legis lature for the purpose of straightening out the tangle between the state and national banks. The matter has been checked up to Insurance Commission er Charles Barnes. If he has the power and will use it to restrict the national bankers' guaranty company to the payment of 3 per cent interest on deposits and thus place them on an equal footing with the state bank ers under the state guaranty law the governor will not call a special ses sion. Attorney General Jackson, speaking this morning of Commissioner Barnes' powers to restrict and control the. bankers' insurance company, declared positively that he believed that the commissioner had ample powers in the matter and that he would so ad vise him if Mr. Barnes came to him for that advice. It is reported that Mr. Barnes, who is out of the city today but who is expected back tomorrow, will act if the attorney general decides that he has the power. Under these circumstances it seems safe to predict that the chances are now against a special session of the legislature. Attorney General Jackson's argu ment against the need of a special session and showing the Insurance commissioner's powers is very logical. "The commissioner," he said, "can take the stand that he is authorised by the last session of the legislature to pass upon the charter of this company which proposes to insure bank de posits and his powers are outlined in that section of the guaranty-law which restricts state banks from paying over 3 per cent on deposits. That para graph outlines the views of the legis lature on what constitutes safe bank ing. So, outside his powers conferred bv specific law, the Insurance commis sioner can point to the precedent j established bv the legislature on the particular subject of guaranty of de- posits after weeks of careful study and investigation. It seemed to be-fli general opinion in administration circles todav that the governor would not call a speclat session until the attorney general and Insurance commissioner had held a conference and decided what ac tion the latter would take. If the commissioner decides to act upon the advice of the attorney general then there will be no special session. If he declines to act the governor will likely call the legislature together at once. The governor regards the legislative call as a last resort, but he will not hesitate a moment to use it if it comes to that stage In the game. Attorney General Jackson advanced another argument against a special session worthy of consideration and that is the fact that the legislature would be called in extraordinary ses sion to legislate regarding a theory and not a condition of fact. Bank guaranty, either by state or private corDoration. is still a theory. After two years of practice the legislature will, in regular session, be better able to correct any abuses or inequalities that may have developed by that time. But in dealing with the subject now they would have to theorize for the reason that they will confront onlv a theory. The poll of the legislature by the governor is nearly completed and shows that a large majority of the legislators favor placing the banks on equal footing, but this poll is not worth very much when it comes to a point of the members agreeing on tne details of how this shall be done. KANSAS RIVER FALLING. Flood Situation in Topeka and Else, where Improves. The Kansas river is falling today, now standing at 15 feet 6 inches, a droo of over three feet from the high- est point reached. The reports from the west are reassuring ana no more trouble is anticipated. Soldier creek is falling rapidly. The Santa Fe this afternoon opened its Chicago-Kansas City line which has been out of commission for two days on account of the flood in Mis souri. This afternoon for the first time passengers were handled through cast of Kansas City. It was said this afternnoon that the line was in good shape and that no further trouble is expected from the high water. The Chicago. Rock Island Pacific line between Kansas City and Chicago was opened for traffic last night, like v ise the Burlington between these two points. The Rock Island now has a through service between Chicago and the west, and with the exceptions of having to run under slow orders over certain sections of track, this road is running trains on the regular schedule between Topeka and Chicago. West of Topeka and on ail the lines in Kansas the Santa Fe. Rock Island and Union Pacific are in good shape and are running all the trains. BARON ROTHSCHILD DEAD Son of the Austrian House Commits Suicide for Love. Vienna, July 13. Baron Oskar Roths child, the youngest son of Albert Rothschild, head of the Austrian branch of the Rothschild house, died suddenly in this city last night. He committed suicide because of an unfortunate love affair. Baron Oskar was 21 years old. He returned to Vienna two days ago after eight months spent in travel, dur ing which he visited the United States. HOW ITJ70RKS. Des Moines' Eeport Under the Commission Form. Reduced Expenses in a Year o 240,000. IS NO PULLING BACK Public Improvements Increased in the Meantime. People Greatly Pleased Over the New System. Des Moines, Ia,, July 13. The report of the city auditor which is now being printed for distribution shows that for the first year of the Des Moines plan the city taxpayers were saved in money the sum of $224,055.10 as compared to the last year of the old ward plan. Tl means a caving of more than $2 each for every man, woman and child in this city in the cost of maintaining their city government. The Figures for Two Years, Here are the figures taken from the balance sheets of the city treasurer's books showing the conditJon of the cur rent expense funds for the two years: On April 1, 1908. the old administration left a balance of $72,790.11 in the treas ury, when it retired to give place to the commission plan. Against that bal ance there was an outstanding indebt edness of $191,989.93. On "April 1 of this year the balance on hand in that fund was $164,352.05. a difference of $91,651.94. The outstanding indebtedness against that balance was only Jo3,496.77, a dif ferent of $132,493.16. or a total differ ence of $224,055.10. In favor of the new rule. The only question then as to the ef ficiency of the Des Moines plan is that of whether or not it Is possible to give the people better government at this tremendous decrease, in the cost of gov ernment. Des JMolnes answer Is practical ly unanimous on that point. Recently a committee of business men from Salt Lake City visited Des Moines to in vestigate the new rule. The members made a canvass of the downtown dis trict. They went into the business houses, stopped people on the street, went among the laboring men in the packing houses and factories and in terviewed with printed questions more than 1,000 citizens. The Four Who Objected. When the printed lists were checked up it was found that only four men in all that number ex pressed an adverse opinion. One of the four was a Socialist, who objected to the plan on general principles, but admitted that it waf better than the old w-ard system; another was a wealthy property owner,- who ob jected because the new form of gov ernment was too aggressive in mak ing public improvements; the third was a saloon keeper, who denounced the commission plan as a "Sunday school movement," and the fourth was a politician, who had lost the of fice which he held under the old ward system. It can be truthfully stated that this canvass just about represents the sentiments of the people regarding I through the city. The shah is expect the new rule. And a remarkable j ed momentarily to take refuge on one thing about the sentiment is that the laboring men and the small property holders are even more enthusiastic in their praise of the new rule than the business men and the big prop erty holders. But how was this great reduction in the operating expenses made with out sacrificing the public interests? is the first question asked by the visitors who investigate the new rule. Greater Efficiency at I-ess Cost. Are salaries and the wages of labor ing men reduced? Not by any means. 4 few months aeo the commissioners voluntarily increased the wages of day laborers from J2 per aay to .'.2o ana the wages of teamsters from $3.50 to $4.50 a day, because or ine increaseu cost of living. The contractors in Des Moines nav S1.75 a day for day labor ers and $4 for teamsters for a nine hour rlav. while the city pays its in creased orice for an eight hour day. Has it reduced the street force or abandoned anv improvements? Not at all. The commissioners are under taking more public improvements than ever before. More men are employed in the street gangs than ever before: more policemen are in the service and more firemen than ever before. Every department has been made more effi cient and has been strengthened in stead of weakened. The streets are cleaner; the health department is more efficient: the laws are better en forced and the fire protection more adequate than in the history of Des Moines. And all this has been accomplished at a saving of over $200,000 and the tax levy for this year has been de creased by almost three mills on the dollar. In addition, the water rates and the light rates have been reduced more than 20 per cent. How the Saving Was Made. Here are some the ways by which the reduction was made: Fseless office holders were dismissed and the offices abolished. The large number of such -salary grabs that had been created under the old system for political ward heelers, is illustrated by the fact that while the salaries paid the comissioners amount to a total of $15,500, yet the total salary list of the city is now but $5,000 more than under the old plan when the aldermen re ceived no salaries. No less than $10, 000 in useless salaries were paid for po litical favors under the old plan. In the matter of street lights alone $12,000 has been saved, although the citv has added seventy-one lights, and in addition to that 603 lamps that formerly burned on the "moonlight schedule," now burn all night, a gain of 1,818 hours a year for each lamp. These are merely illustrations. In every department and in every detail of the city's business the commission ers found waste, extravagance and neglect. Des Moines now has a gov ernment that conducts the city's busi ness as the citizens conduct their own business. And Des Moines is more than satisfied with the results. Weather Indications. Chicago, July 13. Forecast for Kansas; Fair tonight and Wednes day; not much change in temperature. REBEL HANDS. Persian Capital Is Captured by Nationalist Army. Fighting Is Going on in the City's Streets. SHAH'S MEN DESERT. Royalists and Cossacks Go Over to the Revolutionists. Populace Is Enthusiastic Over the Turn of Events. Teheran, July 13. One thousand Na tionalists entered Teheran at 5 o'clock this morning. They came in by three gates and the entire northern section of the city was soon in their hands. Shah of Persia and His Young Son, ine Heir Apparent to tne 'llirone. There has been some fighting in the streets, but as a general thing the Na tionalists are preserving excellent or der. They are sending out patrols of the foreign legations. The Royalist troops, particularly the Cossacks, have taken up a position in the central square and surrounding streets and it is believed the National ists will attack their position in full force if they do not surrender. The safety of foreigners does not ap pear at this writing to be seriously threatened. Sipahdar and Sardahasad. the Na tionalist leaders, .are in possession of the narliament building. A body of local Nationalists under the leadership of young Seyed, have taken possession of the residence ofq Saad-Ed-Dowleh, the foreign minister. Many or the Roy alist soldiers, including a number of Cossacks, have deserted to the Nation alists. The populace of the city is enthusias tic over the advent of the Nationalist forces. They throng the streets wear ing red badges and offering encourage-n-ent to the revolutionary soldiers. There was a sharp outbreak of rifle fire this morning near the British legation, but It did not last long and the casualties among the Nationalists were slisht. The Nationalists are in possession of the central offices of the Persia inter national telegraph system. The Indo European telegraph line, the outlet to London, is still working, but with dif ficulty. Royalists and Nationalists are fighting in the square In front of the offices of the company which are under fire. At the time of filing this dispatch, 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, the fight ing in the streets continues, but it is mostly at long range, desultory anil neither destructive nor decisive. There have been no attempts to interfere with any of the legations or the British or Russian banks, and the lives and property of Americans and Europeans are not in danger. The Russian flag is flying from the house of Colonel Laik hoff, the military commander at Teheran where Mme. Laikhoff courage ously persists in remaining. The house is close to the square where the Cos sacks are opposing the advance of Na tionalists and both it and the flag are exposed to the bullets of the com batants. ON TO CHICAGO.

KANSAS IS FOR IT. Governor stubbs' Opinion About In come Tax Amendment. The New York American. Hearst's paper. Is taking a poll of the states in order to get an idea of the drift of sentiment for and against the proposed Income tax amendment to the consti tution which is about to pass congress. Three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify this amendment before it becomes a law. Governor Stubbs today received a message asking for his opin ion on the probable action of the Kan sas legislature in this matter and his excellency promptly replied stating that he believed that the legislature of this state would ratify the proposed amend ment without hesitation or argument. The following is the text of the Amer ican telegram and the governor's an swer: "What action in your opinion will your state take regarding income tax amendment to constitution which sen ate and house have now almosc unani mously voted to submit to the several states. Answer prepaid." The governor replied as follows: "So far as I have been able to con sult with members of Kansas legisla ture, and to gather the public opinion of Kansas, the income tax amendment will be promptly ratified whenever the legislature convenes." The State Journal, in discussing the matter last Saturday suggested that if the legislature was called in special session this month Kansas would be able to lead the states in the ratifica tion of this constitutional amendment. NO MORE WORK, Senate Refuses to Do Anything While Conference Is On. Washington, July 13. The senate was in session today 20 minutes when it adjourned until Friday. The major portion of the time was devoted to a discussion of the unanimous consent agreement not to transact any busi ness while the tariff conference was in progress. The discussion arose over the effort on the part of Senator Carter to have passed a bill pertaining to the affairs of the District of Colum bia, on the ground that the bill was such a little one that no harm could result from its passage, but Senators Lodge and Culberson, standing guard over the interests of the two sides of the chamber, objected and thus pre vented action. The incident served to emphasize the understanding that no business will be permitted in the senate so long as the conferees are out and a renew ed assurance to the senators at the seashore that the interests of their constituents will not be imperiled by their remaining away. NO SEAfFOR D.T KEEFE Longshoremen Refuse to Receive Former President as Delejrate. Galveston, Tex.. July 13. By 41 votes the International Longshore men's Association of America re fused to seat as a delegate its for mer president. Daniel J. Keefe. fed eral commissioner of immigration and naturalization. He was not here when the con vention refused to seat him, having been detained on the Mexican border investigating Chinese smuggling, but he telegraphed he would reach here Wednesday and would oppose the ac tion of the convention, disqualifying him. The opposition to Keefe as a dele gate Vvas alleged to be solely because he is not actively engaged as a dock worker. THEY WON'T EAT. Suffragettes Also Refuse to to Prison Garb. Chansc London, July 13. The suffragettes who yesterday were sent to Holloway jail on charge of disorderly conduct while attempting to present a petition to Premier Asejuith are making it lively for the Jail authorities. Ac cording to Information given out to day bj- the women's social and political union the latent batch of "martyrs" are following up the tactics inaugurated by Miss Dunlop and in addition to refusing to cat they 'decline persistently to change their street clothes for the prison garb. The rules of silence also are ignored, and there has broken out a general revolt against the attempts to treat them as ordinary criminals. WOMEN AGAINIST WOMEN Frenzied Mob Attempt to Cruel Step-Mother. Punish Chicago. July 15. Mrs. Austin Cork of Aurora, who was arrested last week on the charge of cruelty to her step-children, faced 1.000 angry women when she was arraigned in the Aurora city hall. Her husband made an attempt to lower her from a rear window after she had swooned three times from fright, but failed because the rope was too short. The escape was through a crowd of women who beat Mrs. Cork and her husband with umbrellas and shouted sanguinary warnings at her. Then the Corks drove away in a buggy- VORSTJS OVER, Crest of the Flood at Kansas City lias Been Reached. Railroads to Chicago Are Send ing Out Trains. BAD TRAIX SERVICE Has Held 60,000 Passengers at the Kaw's Mouth. Much Hardship Experienced by Those Short of Money. Kansas City, Mo., July 13. Flood conditions here and in this vicinity showed much improvement today. The Kansas and Missouri rivers had both been stationary elnce last night, the Kansas standing at 23.9 feet and the Missouri t 27 feet. Ther wer t-o heavy rains last night. Weather Ob server Connor declared the crest of the nooa had been reached and that onlv continued rains could again cause th rivers to rise. The reports from stations in the Kan sas river watershed were reassuring and no further rises were expected. Eastern train service began to show improvement at Kansas City today. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe rail road opened Its main line to Chicago this morning, sendintr out trains that had been held here. The break In tho Santa Fe tracks t Dean Lake, Mo., which caused all the trouble for that line, had been repaired and officials de clared by tonight th line would be running on schedule. The Chicago, Milwaukee St. Taul railway, which had annulled its nightly Chicago train since Sunday, sent a special to Chicago over its own line. Regular service with the lake city on the Milwaukee road probably will ba resumed tonight. The Chicago Alton continued tl detour its Chicago passengers via tha Missouri Pacific Rnd Missouri, Kansm Texas to Higbee and thence on its main line, to Chicago. Train service south and southwest was still demoralized. There was 1IU1 delay west of Kansas City. C. G. Kline, a Santa Fe conductor, who arrived here today, declared tin had one of the most Interesting: Jour neys of the 26 years of his career as a Santa Fe trainman. Ordinarily he runs between Kansas City and Fort Madison, Ia. On his train which start ed a week ago he went to Chicago, used three railroads in getting there and in all traversed 1,000 miles. Thi Santa Fe's distance to Chicago is 451 miles. Union depot officials today estimated that within the last six days there have been fully 60.000 travelers held In Kan sas City because of Inefficient train service. The depot matron tells of great hardship experienced by travel ers. Many of these were women trav eling with barely enough money to support them on their Journey. Thn delay compelled them to remain here and many have not had sufficient fund to buy food and lodging. Hundreds have slept on the depot benches every; night. The Mississippi Still Rising. St. Louis, July 13. The Mississippi river continued rising here today aivi at 8:15 o'clock the gauge stood at 3.1.4. a rise of two-tenths of a foot In on hour. The flood stage is 30 feet. Wa ter has now entered many buildtnitf on the levee, but ample warning pre vented the destruction of property. The greatest damage has been to farm crops along the Missouri river between Jefferson City and St Charles. Thou sands of acres of rlchifarm lands havi been flooded and the crops destroyed. Wheat ready for threshing has been de stroyed before it could be moved ani corn fields wiped out. The railroad situation Is little Im proved. Only the Missouri Pacific an t Rock Island lines are open between Kansas City and here. FOR DOLLAR LUMBER. House Conferees Will Make a Strong light in the Committee. Washington, July 13. When the con ferees on the tariff bill began work to day it was with the knowledge that thu amendments to the lumber scheduii over which a contest was certain v.-oul t be reached before adjournment. TUa house members were expected t- r.-.aki a strong fight for "dollar lumber,' which was defeated In the senate. In view of the fact that the lumbep amendment will require a good d?al oi deliberation it Is likely that after th discussion has continued for a time, th whole subject will be put ovar urtil another day and th conferees will dis pose of mihor amendments. The conferees have decided to rleir up the disputes over matters of littli importance before becoming entanglel over thfl really serious difference. Members of the senate committee or finance are preparing a statement re plying to charges that senate amend ments to the tariff will result in in creasing the cost of woolen and col tot clothing. hoes and other articles of common wear as well as other necessi ties of life. The statement wlil show that tin duty on shoes has been reduced and that there has not been a single chanei In the rates on woolen goods and th-it the rates on cotton have not been In creased. There will follow a liht of about 5"4 decreases in rates from the IWngley law and a list of about 60 or 7.1 in creases. An effort will be made ti fhow that most of the latter are not in reality increases of rates, but that they provide for the collection of rates fixed by the Dingley law. which hnI been set aside by the misinterpretation of that law. Recess was taken by the conf"re" at 1:20 p. m. for luncheon. The first reading of the bill for tht consideration of amendments had pro ceeded about half way through the fiar or linen schedule. Practically all of th disputed amendments were passed over. The cotton schedule was not taken up.

THREE PITCHERS USED And Eyery One Looked Alike to Kansas Sluggers. Hendrix and Kaufman Pitched Some Great Ball. Des Moines. Ia.. July 13. The To peka team outclassed the home club In every department in yesterday's game and won In easy fashion by a score of 13 to 2. The Cooleysox who have been slumping in hitting: for several days, appeared to have come into their own. All of the Des Moines pitchers were hard hit. Clark was taken out on account of poor control and Miller who succeeded hfm proved easy for the Kansans. Miller fell from grace In the seventh when he allowed seven runs. Mertens succeeded Miller but fared little bet ter. Topeka used two pitchers, Hendrix and Kaufman, both of them doing good work. The base running of the Topeka team was a feature.

Martin Sheri dan of the Irish-American A. C. has again demonstrated for the third time that he is the greatest all-around ath lete in the world. Sheridan displayed his prowess at the National A. A. XT. championship at Celtic rark, held in conjunction with the meet of the United Scottish Clans. Sheridan won nine of the ten events, and lost only the mile run. He hung tip a new mark of 7,385 points. This total sup plants his former world's record by 2o4 points. Owing to his reputation. Sheridan found himself competing practically alone. Amory Payne of the Mohegan A. C. E. L. Farrell of the South Bos ton A C., ana Theodore L. Matsukes, a Greek from the West Side Y. M. C. were to have been the other con testants, and only one, Matsukes, com peted. Payne failed to appear on lme and was not allowed to compete. Matsukes totalled but 3,7484 points. The Greek did not attempt the pole vault. Sheridan's efforts in the first nine events nearly cost him the record. Just before thestart of the mile run Martin took stimulants, and It told on him after he rhad run a half mile. Matsukes took 'fitie4 lead at gun fire, with Sheridair-following. Martin got a pain in his side at.half a mile- and finished the race on his nerve. He faltered at the three-quarters, but urged on by Robertson and Hertberg, Sheridan stuck to his task,- After Batteries O'Neal and Moss; Doherty, Gill and Masters. Abilene 5, Minneapolis 3.

The billiard enthusiasts of Topeka certainly got their money's worth at a local smokehouse last night when Willie Hoppe, the world's champion, gave an exhibition for the benefit of the local fans. The smoke house was crowded to capacity and but few of the large number which attended were able to get a view of the young champion. Nearly a thousand saw him altogether during the evening. Hoppe's chief demonstration was in a game of 18.2 balk line billiards in which he opposed Russell Grimes, generally reputed as one of the best billiard players in the city. Young Grimes was nervous in playing before the large crowd and didn't put up the best there was in him. Hoppe easily won in this match, which was for two hundred points After this match was over Hoppe amused the crowd by making fancy shots. He started out with a long masse along thei rail. The backward" masse was the shot which took best with the fans. Hoppe performed for two hours and when he had finished the crowds were yelling for more. In the evening Ralph Collin, a cigar clerk employed at this smoke house was injured by the explosion of a pop bottle which he was trying to open, while selling drinks to the crowds. He was cut with the glass, which Inflicted a long wound cf about four inches and which barely missed the Jugular vein. Giants 26, Oklahoma 0. Oklahoma City, Ok., July 13. The Kansas City, Kan..

CENTRAL KANSAS LEAGUE. Junction City at Minneapolis. Abilene at Beloit. Manhattan at Ellsworth. Clay Center at Sa4ina. Ellsworth is making an effort to s cure Leak the star pitcher of the Fort Riley team. As Leak is a regularly commissionea army officer. Ellsworth will doubtless have to look elsewhere for additional strength of the pitching aepartment. Hefner, a St. Marys youngster who has been playing third base for the Sa lina team, has been released and Is looking for a job. Lein, a Salina Ditcher W"ho has bee.i laid up with the measles, is recuperat ing and will be on the. firing line again before long. Bechtold, the Abilene second sacker who has been suffering from a sore knee, is back In the game again, and is as dangerous as ever to the oppos ing batsmen. Neal of Smith' Center is trying- out with Beloit. Neal is a rattling good player and should Increase the strength oi ine iseioit layout. The Junction City Sentinel says that Campbell has slumped to .350 in his batting, but that he still leading the team, which has an average "of only .198. Koehler. who was released bv the Manhattan team, has signed up with Beloit where he is playing much better oau man ne aid with Manhattan. Choteau, Abilene's Indian has re-joined the team and Matson a highly touted pitcher, is taking a vaca tion to get into better condition. The Central .Kansas papers declare that they are not afraid of Quigley get ting much of a lead for the pennant in asmuch as there are still over fifty games to be played before season ends. The protested game between Junc tion City and Manhattan has been de cided in favor of Manhattan, thus giv ing the Blue River town a few addi tional points in the standing...

Rankin is an outfielder, and a. pretty good man too. In fact he is about the Dest outneiaer on the Hutchinson team. White is a swell fielder but is weak in hitting. WHERE THET PLAY TOMORROW Topeka at Des Moines. Wichita at Omaha. Denver at Sioux City. Pueblo at Lincoln. Jack Holland is addine stronetli t his team. The latest acquisition is Lou Armstrong, the well-known vet eran backstop. Army will play with the team until Weaver recovers from his sickness and probably will be re- laiueu even alter mat to ao tne Util ity stunt. Wichita is also adding to the pitch ing staff. Jarnlgan, a southpaw, who has acquired quite a reputation in the wilds of Iowa has been signed and will help considerable. A Des Moines dispatch to the Wichita Beacon also announces that the suspension on Aitchison will be raised and that both he and Brennan will join in the team before it leaves Omaha. The slump from which the Topeka team has evidently emerged at last is unique in one way. There are al ways batting slumps on every team during the season, and every player during any season must have his slump. But to have all the players slumping in hitting at one time is without a parallel in the annals of the game. This fact more than any other was responsible for the loss of six straights. Omaha Bee: The revival of th Rourkes brings great joy to the fans. After losing twelve out-of seventeen games abroad, Omaha started in with Topeka as if it Dover intended losing another game. If it can wind up this long home stretch with a snug majority to its credit, it will still have a good chance for the pennant, but it must not expect' to lose many of these twenty-four games and beat out Sioux City, which refuses to let down In its onward rush. With the exception of the box, Omaha is un questionably stronger than any team in the league, and there are indica tions that Its pitchers' are steadying. 'According to the Pittsburg Dis patch. Chick Autrey has been farmed out to the Lynn, Mass., team for the remainder of the season. Autrey was hit in the eye a few days ago, and is practically worthless to the Boston team, for the remainder of the season. Nolice the way that Art Griggs ia stinging the ball for the Browns.

ft AiLROAD NEWS. Santa Fe Figures Show Two Cent Fare a Money Loser. This Road Refutes Claim of Illi nois Commission. STIMULATED TKAVEL. At the Same Time Passenger Revenues Showed Loss. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Chicago, 111., July 13. Claim of Illinois railroads that the 2-cent rate, while stimulating travel to a marked degree, had reduced the revenues of the roads from passenger traffic al most to the ruination point, is borne out by a comprehensive Investigation made by the Santa Fe road. The II linoii Railroad commission insists the law has been beneficial to the roads. The railroads say they have been ompelled to employ much addition al equipment and to help to handle the increased travel which did not bv a large sum compensate them for the extra expense. The Santa Fe worked under the operation of a similar law la ianfas, where a careful record was kept for the first year. The Sante Fe carried 664,000 more passengers than it did the year pre viously under the 3-eent law. Mean while the revenues from' passenger traffic for the same period decreased $207,000. Railway men say this does not be trin to tell the real loss which is to ba found in the great expense for equipment and additional employes, the revision of schedules and the wear and tear of property due to ,iTiore constant use. All admit that the 2-cent rate is a great stimulus to travel, but it spells loss for all the roads. Notwithstanding the reduced fares, the accommodations must be kept up to the former high standard and the additional travel calls for much additional expense, for which there is no remuneration. While the roads have accepted the 2-cent rate as inevitable in some states, they re sent the claim by state commissions that it has resulted in vast benefits in a financial way to the carriers. MIDLAND VALLEY TO EXTEND. Southern Kans Road to Build to Sherman, Texas. Guthrie, Okla., July 13. Charles E. Ingersoll of Philadelphia, president of the Midland Valley Railroad company, is in Oklahoma discussing the propo sition of building an extension from Stigler, a few miles south of Muskogee, to Sherman, Texas. Two different crews of engineers have gone over the survey of the proposed line, working over the old survey, which was made by Governor Haskell several years ago, when he contemplated the construc tion of a road from Porum to Honey Grove, Texas, known as the Muskogee Southern. Haskell sold the survey. and what right he had acquired to W. s Kinefeck5 of Kansas y for '$25.: S 000. The .Midland Valley" company I now has a line-in operation- from Fort Smith, Ark., northwest through Okla homa to Arkansas City, Kansas. The same men are behind it who built the Choctaw, Oklahoma Gulf from Memphis west across Arkansas and Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle, several years ago. NO MILEAGE BOOK CHANGES. Rules Heretofore Governing Passenger Traffic to Stand. The interstate commerce commis sion has announced that it has no in tention of making any requirements for changes in the methods and rules heretofore employed and governing tho sale and use of mileage books for passenger travel, whether locally or interchangeably on two or more lines. This assurance was prompted by a road having taken the position, in con nection with the establishment of fares on a mileage basis, that a ruling of the commission renders inter changeable credential and all other forms of interstate mileage tickets, as Think Whenever, wherever, however you see an arrow, let it point the way to a soda fountain, and a glass of the beverage that is so delicious and so wnT-xtlov fViaf it nnrl wn "its advertisintr are constant inspiration for I constant inspiration ior lmiiaiors.

As the compilation of I such a tariff is held to be a practical impossibility, it was concluded that the roads must withdraw from particle pation in all tickets and. party fares based on mileages. The commission states that this is carrying its views too far, and that the assumption is incorrect, being based upon criticisms bv the commis sion of provisions for hauling special Daggage cars. The commission asserts that when the tariff states that charges are to be at a specified sum per mile, it is necessary to file a table of distances, but that no changes in the requirements for the sale and use of mileage books is contemplated. Cer tain of the roads have of their own volition filed tables of distances, but this will not be enforced to other roads. NO SPECIAL CARS FOR WOMEN. Experiment on New York Line Not Successful. New York, July 13. The Hudson Manhattan (the .tunnel railway be tween New York and Hoboken), after a trial of three months, has taken off tne special cars tor women which it ran at the rear end of each train in the rush hours, says the Railway Age Gazette, for the very good reason that the women do not prefer them; they seem to be just as well satisfied to ride in the crowded cars. In the announce ment the management regrets that the experiment has failed. It was begun for the purpose of showing that the company was alert to meet the wishes of the public, the Interborough having just manifested some unwillingness to comply with a request for women's cars made to it by the New York state public service commission. The Inter borough will now laugh, while the other road regrets. Editors and oth ers are trying to solve the psycholog ical mystery in which this action or nonaction of the women of New York is enveloped, and there is much wise talk about pride, the spirit of independence and other occult mat ters; but it looks as though a large part of the mystery could be dispelled by the simple explanation that the women's car was the least desirable one in the train. As a rule only ex perienced passengers are wise enough to go to the end of the platform to board a train. Before expending brain power on psychological philoso phizings, it might be well to offer the women the best car in the train one of those near the middle. CROP 'damage $1,000,000. Cloud County Suffers Severely From Hard Wind Storm. Concordia, Kan., July 13. The prospect of a banner crop in the western part of Cloud county was ruined when a wind and hail storm destroyed everything in its path, eight miles wide and twenty-five miles long, covering territory sround Glasco, Beloit, Jamestown, Scotts- ville. Simpson and Randall. The damage to crops is over $1,- 000.000. and the disheartened farm ers have begun to plow up their fields of golden grain and prepare for wheat next year. Added to the first storm, another struck near here twelve hours later covering the same path as the former with two and three inches of hail, which completely destroyed every thing in the line of vegetation. Farmers are offering to sell their 'JTdU 'muc'h Stfve.fv acre. amage, blowing at the rate of seventy miles an hour. SMILE THAT WON'T COME OFF. Linn County Farmers Are Happy for Crop Prospects Are Fine. LaCygne, Kan., July 13. The farm ers are all wearing smiles that won't come off and all are expressing them selves as certain that Linn county is to harvest the best crop it has for years. Corn is looking well, although some fields are a little late and some have been too wet to work just at the proper time. It has a good color and even where the second planting was made it looks well and with favorable weather will make a good yield. Wheat is being harvested this week and the crop will be fairly good. The town last Saturday and in fact most all week was practically deserted by the farmers. They were too busy cul tivating their corn and taking care of tneir wheat crop. enever yOti S66 12 of imitators. enevef se are think Cola.

"Mr. Calderhead has constantly been mindful of the interests of the FMfth district and the interests of the state, but he has never lost sight of the fact that we are a nation, and it has been his diligent effort to se cure the enactment of a law that will be for the best interest of the whole nation.

Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping: expenses. The Chicago News remarks with all modesty that Chicago is becoming tha literary center of the coun And it does not forget to add, "which unfortunately, is not saying much." Here's work for Roosevelt. A mes r-- of the C. D. Q. variety should be sent to him by means of the monkey post. Man-eating lions have made an invasion of a bit of territory In British East Africa. An unusual old colored woman died the other day in Georgia. She was 117 years old and had never been known to claim that she had seen George Wash lngton. A distinguishing monument should be erected to her memory. Topeka. is often wont to boast of her public schools and such boasting is not in vain. But, then, they ought to be excellent ones. Half of the taxes collected each year for the city are devoted to the purposes of these schools. Pretty soon now there is apt to be B crop shortage but it will be in the nature- of a shortage In freight ears which" will be needed to haul to the markets the real crops that are turn ing out to be more bountiful than even their most optimistic friends hoped for. The latest American heiress, Miss Anita Stewart of New York, will prob ably get a little excitement for her money. In her case she is going to cast her lot with Prince Miguel of Braganza, who is the son of the pre tender to the Portuguese throne. Still, her chances of becoming a real queen by this route are not overly bright. President Taft wants to arrange things so that he can stop for short periods at many of the small towns on the route he will take from Wash ington for his trip to the Paciflo coast during the early fall. Well, the email towns are willing. In fact, they would be immeasurably delighted to entertain him for a minute or a day. Just because Mr. Aldrich says he does not read what the newspapers have to say about him, it is not likely that the papers will pay any less atten tion to him. Many public men are not overly particular with their statements about things. But ne thing is a surety in this connection. Mr. Aldrich does not pay any heed to what the newspa pers say him. Many CHcagoans. so it is reported, are not legally married because Justices of the peace who had no authority to act officiated at their weddings. In several Instances of this sort, it is rea sonable to assume that the divorce courts of the Windy City will be saved a lot of trouble. For others, who are happily married, though, the situation Is rather serious. London newspapers hold up thei, hands in horror at the sensationalism of to"- of their American contem poraries. But it is not likely that any American sheet ever went any farther, or quite so far to a-a the name of a pron-inent man into any case as did an English newspaper recently which spoke of a London suicide as having been "the divorced husband of the stepdaughter of a deceased uncle of Theodore Roosevelt." In a recent issue of the Observatore Romano, the organ of the Vatican, is a scathing denunciation of the ten dencies of feminine fashion of today. But this probably won't do any good. Feminine fashions have been assailed on all sides, except by the women wro Indulge in them, ever since they have developed to their r nt ridiculous peculiarities. The members of the fair sex. however, have gone blithely on their way indulging their whims for dress as their fancy is suited. Mr. Aldrich says that the senate tariff bill, if enacted into law, would not impose additional burdens upon tha consumer. Even granted that this is so, although there are many to dispute this allegation and they have food grounds, that la not what the consumers are after. They do not care to have the burdens on them left where they are. They want them reduced materially. That's what Mr, raft promised them when he was running for the presidency, but it has been quite evident for some time that Mr. Taft was not speaking, in this respect, for the other prominen leaders of the Republican party, and especially those of them in congress. A CHANCE FOR KANSAS. As was suggested in the news columns of this paper recently, if there Is need for a special session of the legislature to straighten out the tangles that have arisen In the banking circles of the state, the calling of It might be .delayed for a few weeks in order that an oppor. tunity could be given to the state to go on record first on the proposition to amend the federal constitution so that the government can levy a direct tax on Incomes. This proposed amendment to the constitution has already passed the United States senate. There is little doubt that it will go through the house of representatives with colors a-flylng In a week or ten days, whenever. In fact, it comes up for consideration In the regular order of business. Imme diateiy upon its passage by congress it will be certified to the various states of the union for their ratification. It must receive the endorsement of at least three-fourths of the states If it Is to become effective. It will take a lot of time, probably a full two years, be fore all of the states can take action on this important matter. None of them will likely call special sessions for this particular purpose. In several states only biennial sessions of the legis latures are held, and their next reg ular sessions are a full eighteen months away. Kansas is in this category. But with the prospects of a special session of this state's legislature to the forefront just now, it would appear that the calling of it could be arranged so that this amendment to the federal constitution could be considered. There is no doubt where the legislators of Kansas and her people "'and on this proposition. It is safe to say that they are overwhelmingly in favor of a di rect income tax. And the chance for them to declare their position in the van of all the other states on this im portant matter should not be neglected Kansas is first among her sister states in many things. Naturally she should be first, if possible, in declaring in favor of a direct income tax. Her stand in this particular might give strength and encouragement to other legislatures in states where the plan to tax incomes is not looked upon with much favor by the plutocratic elements which make their homes in them. It Is not urged for a minute that a special session of the Kansas legis lature should be called for the especial purpose of acting on this Income tax amendment. But if one is called the date for it should be fixed so that tltii matter can be passed upon. THE VANITY OP CRIMINALS. Writing on "How Thieves Live" in the July Everybody's, Charles Somer- ville discusses in an interesting way the vanity of criminals. He, says in part: 'Criminologists speak of the brag gart vanity of the criminal. It is true of erotic offenders, perhaps. But the thief will tell of the number of times he has fooled the police merely by way of self-Justification. He ad mits the premise that he was a fool ever to become a criminal, and he re counts his triumphs only to indicate to you that, at least, he is not an absolute idiot. 'Also, criminologists point out the childish vanity of the criminal who bedecks his person with jewels when he is prosperous. In this the criminal is no vainer than his honest brother. But jewels are about the only sort f property that he can safely possess, as was the case with the Jews in the old days when they were the driven race. The criminal may not with safety become a bank depositor, and he is usually too much of a spend thrift to carry a roll of cash; but he nds that if he is arrested and can show some handsome diamond orna ments and a valuable watch, he will have no difficulty In securing a good lawyer and a bondsman, and will have a fighting chance for acquittal at his trial. "But always, be it understood, the crook is peering into the windows of the house of respectability with wist ful eyes. Al Adams, with more than million dollars earned from his despicable policy gambling, which robbed children of their pennies and caused starvation in tenement homes. found himself an enforced hermit in a crowded city. Even his family did not live with him. In a suite of rooms at the Ansonia, with a Japan ese servant who had no personal feel ing for him, the man lived alone. He raved human association. Some times he got it on false pretenses from chance acquaintances. But he would shortly be identified, and again there was only utter loneliness for him. He shot himself dead." DOST GET SOARED. Mad dog scares are now the order f the day in many localities. A large number of them are merely the result of active imaginations. This is pointed out clearly in a recent editorial on the subject in the Pitts burg, Pa., Leader, as follows: The best preventive of hydrophobia that I know of is very simple don't get scared to death." Dr. Charles W. Dulles, of Philadel phia, offers this advice to a public which has gone into hysterics over hydrophobia. Dr. Dulles might well suggest the same preventive for other diseases and disorders. In this day and gen eration when scientists tell a nervous people that the air, the water, the earth and foods are filled with germs ready to Infect human bodies and thrive there and cause disease, hysteria too frequently takes the place of common 6ense. There axe thirty diseases with symptoms closely Imitating those of hydrophobia. It Is about the same with other diseases. A hysterical person looks upon the dark side of life. The frightened man or woman who has eaten too many cucumbers fears appendicitis. The unfortunate with an old-fashioned cold im mediately begins to- dread tuber culosls. Dr. Dulles has been Investigating hydrophobia far 28 years. He says he has known of but nine well defined cases. But he has seen many hun dreds of spurious cases caused by fear and hysteria. Physicians might say the same of other diseases. Hysteria is a dread ful thing. It is an able assistant of the disease gesm. Precaution is excellent. The bite of a dog. or disease in its lncipiency should not be lightly considered. The scientists are offering cures for all ailments to which human flesh is heir. Many of them are effective But there is no use in making the mind sick. Hysteria and fear are not cures. Dr. Dulles offers an excellent pre ventive for many diseases. It Is very simple. Simple remedies were formerly popular. The simple pre ventives of today should have just as much popularity. Be cautious, but 'don't get scared to death." It is worth trying this preventive. It is cheap and the doctors and scientists say it is very effective. JOURNAL ENTRIES That a good cry is healthful is a poor excuse for one on the part of a grown-up. Many persons are at their best when they do not participate in con versations.

When a woman is on her last legs, she starts a boarding house. The under dog doesn't care much for sympathy; ha wants assistance. An Atchison man has greatly dis tinguished himself: he did up a sweet lieutenant in a love affair. The women call a man fickle because he does not have the same opinions at forty iiiat he had at twenty-five. "Where's Doc?" a man asked recent ly. "I halnt saw him for a week." Lots of ?ood men talk that sort of grammar. It takes men two generations to get used to riches, but a woman will look as though she were born before she had her good luck a week. "You haven't enough patience with the children," every wife tells her hus band twice a day. "And you," he re tort" "have too much for their good." It is pretty in the books for a man to say his wife is as high as his heart, but when in real life she is as high as his pocketbook is means the sam-5 thing. You would be surprised, and feel a trifle hopeless, if you realized how many married men. who have large families are groping through Lonesome Land. "This is not the best piece I am giv ing you," said an Atchison man, in helping his guest: "I always keep the best piece of steak for myself. I allow no guest to impose on me." We're sorry we didn't think of this first: it is from Brooklyn Life: "Doc tor," said the sick- man, "how soon d: you think I'll be well enough to eat things that don't agree with me?" Probably the most thoughtful daugh ter in the world lives in Atchison. Al though twenty-years of age. she still wears her hair down her back to keep her mother looking oung. When a woman thinks of dying, she expects that her children would go to. live with their Aunt Martha, or their Uncle Henry; it never occurs to her that thev would care to stav with their fat KANSAS COMMENT JUST IN TIME. Wilkie Collins, one of the greatest story tellers that ever lived, who was famous for the ingenuity of his plots, used to say that it was impossible for a novenst to invent a situation so un usual that it could not be duplicated in real life. There are many people in all parts of the country who believe that in order to reaa or strange and romantic things one must turn to fiction; these same peupie giance over the newspapers every aay, ana never Eee or recognize the stories of odd haDoenines and ro mantic adventures which are part of tno worlds aailv storv. Ftw people read the newspapers; if they are inter ested in politics, they read the political news, if they are dead game sports they read the pink section; if they are speculators they read the markets, and so on, but they are few indeed who note the really, interesting and gro tesque things in the news columns. A man who is not so Interested in one subject that he is oblivious to all others, and who reads the news as it comes, finds in the course of a month the material for fifty romantic novels As an Illustration, the following true uttie story is given. It was printed, in outline, in the dispatches of a few days ago, throughout the country. It was not featured by any newspaper; not one reader in a hundred noticed it; ye it is really a remarkable story, and might be used to advantage by any ro mantle novelist. Two years ago. Pedro Ortiz, Ramon Zarate and Bibiano Lira, young Mexl cans of good family, went out of the town or z,aeatecas on a little excursion of their own. The two latter returned in due season, but Ortiz came home no more. Search was made for him, and a body was found on the desert, and identified as his. His two companions were tried: the story thev told seemed pretty gauzy, and made so poor an impression upon the jury that the prisoners were con victed, karate was sentenced to b' shot, and Lira drew life imprisonment One morning last week Zarate was informed by the urbane executioner that it was time for him to back up against the wall, and let the boys use him for target practice. He made no protest, but accepted his doom cheer fully, and marched buoyantly to the place of execution. He backed up against the wall: the soldiers were aiming their rifles; another minute, and he would be in eternity. It was then that a stranger gave such a yeil that everybody turned to see what was hurting him. The stranger was Pedn Ortiz, for whose murder Zarate was about to suffer. Of course the execu tion was called off. and explanations followed; and the explanations corrobo rated the testimony of the convicted men m every detail. Who was the dead man identified as Ortiz? Even true stories have their weak points. Emporia Gazette. FINE SCHEMEHAS DEFECT. Fifty unmarried women of the Pro gressive Women's Suffrage union of New York have signed the following pledge: We, the undersigned, here by declare that we will not indulge in matrimony with any man who is not willing to sign an agreement that he will not only lend his moral sup port to suffrage, but will work pa tiently and hard toward its support and success." The secretary of the union is confident that in six months there will be a hundred thousand signers and then mere man will be gin to understand; -that the union real ly means business. The scheme is beautiful and fine, but it would be more likely of producing the desired results if it were not for the million or more charming creatures that do not care whether they vote or not. Fort Scott Republican. FROM OTHER PENS "VOTING CONTEST" NEWSPAPERS In quick succession newspapers be longing to the so-called Clover-Leaf combine are disappearing. First came the collapse of the Kansas Oi:y News, for which the Butler-Kellogg-A-sn-baugh outfit once had claimed n circu lation of 60,000, and for which adver tising was secured on the basis cf such a circulation, which the paper never had. It is doubtful whether It ever bad a bona fide circulation of 20,000. Then came the disappearance of the St josepn Biar. if we rememDer well, a few other papers of this syndicate started to fill a never-felt want, for new papers in different cities have quickly gone out of existence. The experience which the advertising puouc nas naa with certain papers that have passed away-ought to teach them the lesson to keep their eyes on pspers that still exist and for which quite encrmous and almost incredible circulation claims are made, almost as big claims as were once madt for the Kansas City News. The extensive patronage of the papers of the combine which have passed away, was not de served. The money spent by business men in those papers of mushroom growth was simply thrown away. Is that spent in certain other papers well spent? Are these circulations what they are claimed to be, or of a kind secured by guessing and voting con tests, such as "who is the most popular policeman" or "the most popular car driver" or "the most popular boot black," which contests necessitate the buying of copies by the "voters," which copies, therefore, are of no earthly value to advertisers? It may be time for advertisers to look a little more carefully into the business of newspa pers of this kind, especially now, when business men in a number of cities have found out to their sorrow that back of the big circulation claims and other alleged virtues of certain news papers was only hot air or humbug. Mall Order Journal. LOOKINOFORWARD. It is said that the North Pole will be soon discovered by means of' an air ship. This is important whether it is true or not It transfers the interest in the North Pole from reindeer and dog sleds to spark plugs and screws. If the pre diction is correct the News will soon be advertising summer excursions "over the North Pole in an airship," instead of advising the people to go to Colorado or Mackinac or Riverside Park. The June bride will take the June bride groom on a wedding "tower" across the Arctic circle, and the Harvey eating house system will establish the sand wich station in balloons moored along the line usually taken by the Hutchin son, Behring Sea and Polar Airship line. Wrecks on interurban or steam railroads will be regarded as unimpor tant, and the real sensation will be when the North Pole express punctures a gas bag or breaks a carbureter, and the passengers are dumped a mile or two into the snow of Greenland's icy mountains. Perhaps all this will come to passl within a few years, or it may take an other generation to get accustomed to the waterless ship Just as the one now oik earth has seen the success of the horseless carriages.

Credit is due the Americans here ror forbearance under most trying circumstances. They are bearing with heroic patience the abuse rained upon them day after day. There are many who are in no way connected with the administration or local politics. They are developing the re sources pf the country, and some .of tne most valuable properties and im portant undertakings are in their hands. Yet, because they are Americanos," the ignorant are taught to regard them as oppressors and exploiters, reptiles to be driven from the land. This is done openly, but no attempt at retaliation has been made. Americans are assailed and reviled through the press, at public meetings and In private con versations at club nouses and restau rants. There Is a proverb among Porto Rlcans that the "Americanos want the cage, but would gladly be rid of the birds." This illustrates their feeling and shows how unscrupulous or foolish politicians have found fer tile soil in which to sow the seed of hatred and dissension.

(By Jeannette Walden.) The girl made a droll effort to match her steps to the strides of the tall, grave man with whom she was walking. Their caddies followed somewhat hopelessly in the rear, bristling with the implements of golf. "Hal, I never saw you in such a hor rid hurry." laughed the gin, "ana x never saw you look so so cross." She raised to h:s a fair lace glowing irora exercise, and blue eyes dancing with teasing imps. "Oh, how thoughtless of me, my dear." The man slackened his -pace abruptly and looked down at his com panion with an indulgent smile a smile which lighted up his face with a flash of pleasure, though it faded quickly, leaving the shadow of painful contemplation. "Out with it, friend," encouraged the girl, glancing up at him through a maze of blond ringlets. "Are you in love?" Her voice died out on the last word, as if frightened at its own au dacity, and her color spread to her temples. But she walked on gayly be side her meditative escort. "Vivian," the girl's name, as he ut tered it, was charged at once with a tender sympathy and a portentous ser iousness. "I have something on my mind which concerns you as much nerhans more than it does myseu. in fact, I've brought you out here today to talk with you about it. I can think better in the open." "I wondered why you had conde scended to come," laughed the girl. still apparently unimpressed by his mood. "Do you know It nas Deen ages since you have ventured so far from home with me?" "Press of business," apologized the man, weakly. "And that Interesting woman," sup plemented the girl, "whoever she Is. The man ignored her challenge. He seemed too deeply troubled to respond to trivialities. "Well, Vivian, shall we go to the club veranda for our talk, or seek some hummockon the links, with a bush to shelter us from the over familiar breeze?" Right here in this little depression, with the white rock shelf to sit on," and the girl was comfortably ensconc ed before the words were out of her mouth the bright scarlet or ner jacK- et adding a touch of brilliancy, to the landscape. But. Hal. what's tne use or tening me if it's hard for you to talk about it?" There was sympathy, as well as absolute confidence in the deep blue eves. "You have always decided for me, and taken care of my business. I can't do half as well for' myself as you have always done for me. Thank you. dear." as ne graveiy bowed he bared his head, exposing his closelv cropped, wavy brown hair. lightly streaked with gray, "isut tnis is a personal matter," he continued as he seated himself beside her. "A guardian, however useful, does not in this enlightened age make or break an engagement. "But I am engaged already at least I think I am. But that reminds me, haven't heard from Tom for a long time." She spoke with an air of unconcern while her companion observed her closely. What if I should tell you that it seems beat to postpone your marriage Vivian?" I should say that would be perfect Iv Jollv!" exclaimed the girl, with a sincerity that was wholly unaffected. I know, Vivian, you have never been in a hurry to set the day; but what if what if" he watched her narrowly "Ishould say that it might be best for you to annul the engage ment to Tom Rowland for a time at least?" The eirl leaned over and rested both hands on his knee, looked steadily up into his solicitous gray eyes. "It would make me happier than anything else in the world. "Vivian! you don t love him, then?" "I do not, Hal." "Well, then I'm relieved," he said earnestly. "Why do you say that? Why are you glad?" It was the girl's turn to be intense. "Because, dear, he has proved him self unworthy of you. Do you wish do you care to know She shook her head. "Don't tell me anything unpleasant, please. But is it only on my account that you are glad is that all?" She sprang up and turned her back moving slowly away, while he watched her with puzzled surprise. "Vivie. child, come back!" he called She turned and came swiftly to her seat upon the rock. "You won't hide anything from your best friend, little girl?" "Hal. do you doubt me? I have not cared for Tom Rowland not as I should since the first month I came to your mother's home, and that is over a year now. He took her hand in his own. "You have cared for some one else then His tone was casual, but a sudden light came Into his eyes. She flashed him one look from flut tering eyelids. "You. Vivian! you darling! love an old fellow like me! I can t believe tell me, dear!" He took both her hands In his. She looked up then, unflinchingly the color fled from her face, leaving it a pure ivory. "It is bo," she said simply. For a second they gazed into each other's eyes. "But what about the woman?" teas ed Vivian. "What woman?" he asked blankly. "Why, the one who has been taking you away so much of late, keeping you downtown to dinners, inviting you out every other evening to the club, causing you auto, trips to the country and making you work whole Sundays at the office?" "Oh," he laughed, "you, you are the woman who has kept me away. I knew that I couldn't see so much of you and be loyal to Tom Rowland. So you Bee, uttie gin, you were not tne only one in love. "But come," he added, as he raised her to her feet, "let's carry the good news to mother; she will be overjoyed to learn that she is not to lose you."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TITS SPAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1909. 5 OXFORD SALE Special Cut on All Low Shoes noon AT RACES. Grand Stand to Be Made Much Larger. Addition Will Be Sixty-Four Feet Long. WILL SEAT 1,500 MORE Make the Capacity of All Six Thouasud. One Hundred Boxes Will Also E Constructed. Along with many other improve ments which are contemplated at the fair grounds. Rex T. Kreipe. secretary of the Topeka State "Wide Fair asso ciation, has one that should appeal immediately to the public, and which should be greeted with a splendid response oy inose wno welcome im provements. Mr. Kreipe has plans to build addition to the grand stand at an the fair grounds. During past years the accommodations of the present stand have been found to be woefully Insuf ficient. Last year the patrons of the fair on Topeka day were jammed in the stand like smoked herring in a box, and the one great improvement that was suggested at that time was the enlargement of the stand. Mr. Kreipe has been working for several weeks devising plans for the enlargement of the seating capacity. He now has formulated definite plans which if carried out and liberally supported by the public will result in the erection of a substantial addition to the present stand, and which will be all paid for during the next fair which will take place during the week of September 13-18. The plans provide for building an addition on the west end of the stand. This addition will form an angle of about forty-five degrees with the present stand, making the seating ar rangement more compact. This new addition will be sixty-four feet in length and will Increase the seating capacity from 1,200 to 1,500, making a total seating capacity of 6,000. A number of boxes will be con structed in the old and new portions of the stand. There will be one hun dred of these boxes. They will be built in the parts of the grandstand which are coolest and which give the best view of the race track. Each box will have four seats. It Is these boxes which Mr. Kreipe is depending upon to secure funds enough for the erection of the addition to the stand. These boxes will be rented for the entire week for ten dollars. This will insure four seats for every performance and every evening of the fair and this cost will make ft but little more than the reg ular grand stand price of admission. Then no matter whether you get there on time or not. your seats will be reserved for you and you will not have to take a chance on getting a seat in the crowd. If these plans are carried out how aver U will require aid from the public. Some promise of money must be in sight for the work, before any- COULDNT FOOL HIM Doctor Was Firm and Was Right. Many doctors forbid their patients to drink coffee but the patients still drink it on the sly and thus spoil all the doctor's efforts, and keep them selves sick. Sometimes the doctor makes sure that the patient is not drinking coffee and there was a case of that kind in St. Paul, where a business man said: "After a very severe illness last winter which almost caused my death, the doctor said Postum was the only thing that I could drink ani he 'Just made me quit coffee and drink Pos tum. My illness was caused by indi gestion from the use of tea and coffee. "The state of my stomach was so bad that it became terribly inflamed and finally resulted in a rupture. I had not drunk Postum very long be fore my lost blood was restored and my stomach was well and strong and I have now been using Postum for al most a year. When 1 got up from bed after my Illness I weighed 98 pounds and now my weight is 120. "There is no doubt that Postum was the cause of this wonderful improve ment. I shall never go back to tea or toffee but shall always stick to the food drink that brought me back to health and strength." Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

SIX MORE WITNESSES. Ginslcs Case to Go to the Jury, Prob ably, Friday. Chicago. July 13. Plla Gingles' fate may be in the hands of the jury by Friday nignt. accoraing iu asui&i ant State's Attorney Short. On resum ing the presentation of rebuttal testi mony today, Mr. Short said he had but half a dozen more witnesses to examine. Whether the evidence will all be in by the time predicted by Mr. Short depends of course on Mr. O'Donnell, attorney for the young laccmaker. Mr. O'Donnell said today that he would put a number of experts on the stand to refute the state's medical testimony and also a number of club women who have interested them selves in the defense. Benjamin Bronson, carpenter at the Wellington hotel, who was the first to find Miss Gingles in the bathroom testified that in his opinion he could have tied himself as the girl was tied. "When you found you couldn't open the bathroom door what did you do?' asked Mr. Short. "I got a ladder and peeked over the transom into the room. I saw a woman lying on the floor and feared she was dead. I climbed down and forced the door. She was bound to the tub. There was plenty of blood about and she was partly naked. I reported to the office and then came back with Dr. Watson and cut the b"Could you have tied yourself as she was tied?" "I believe 1 could. "Were her hands tied so she could move them?" "Yes." g Witness Becomes Contused. The witness became somewhat con fused when Attorney O'Donnell shot a fire of questions at him regarding the location of the bathroom and the scene in the room in the hotel where Miss Gingles was taken after being released. On cross examination the witness testified that no woman was with him, when the girl was found in the bath room, but later on redirect examina tion he said he was called to the bath room by a scrub woman. Dr W. O. Krohn, testifying for the prosecution, said he was a specialist on nervous and mental diseases. He testified that he went to the Frances Willard hospital in company with As sistant State's Attorney Shorty Dr. Arthur K. Price and Detective Bell to see Miss Gingles, and that he ex amined the girl. In describing her condition he said: "I noticed a tremor in the large muscles. I looked at the pupils of the eyes and found them in normal con dition. Then I tried the knee reflex and 1 found her to be normal." "How did she act when you touched hec wounds?" "Why, when she was looking she would cream with pain. When her attention was distracted she did not show any signs of pain." TO VISIT YOSEMITL President Taft Will Spend Three Days In the Valley.

That the Southern Pacific Railway company plans to substitute electricity for steam motive power generally on Its lines Is assumed from recent developments. It Is stated that W. P. Hammon of this city is planning the construction of a nine mile tunnel to bring Water from Lake Tahoe to the Rubicon river for the operation of an electric power pro ject which will be financed by the Bay Cities Water company to the ex tent of $12,000,000. This project, and the work of a similar nature planned by Wm. F. Bourne on the Yuba river, are believed to have direct connection with the Southern Pacific company's plans for changing its motive power. Wm. Hood, chief engineer of the railroad company, today confirmed the report that the company had filed upon land on the Yuba river for the purpose of building power plants and that It Is planning the taking over of the Rubi con power company's holdings on the Rubicon river. He refused to discuss plans, however. YOUNG WOMAN DROWNS Man Who Was With Her in a Is Missing. Boat Kalamazoo. Mich., July 13. Mys tery surrounds the drowning last night in Klinger, St. Joseph county, of Miss Mamie Davey of Chicago and the probable drowning at the same time of Claude Hunt, a young farmer living near Sturgis, with whom Miss Davey had gone out boating. Miss Davey, who was 2 2 years old, had been visiting for two weeks at Klinger lake, recuperating from a long illness. She met Hunt after her arrival. It is asserted that Miss Davev had threatened to commit suicide. The theory is advanced that she may have jumped from the boat with suicidal intent and Hunt attempted to rescue her. resulting in the drowning of both. The body is Miss Davey has been recovered, but that of Hunt is still being searched for. CUT TO $25,000. Judgment Against a Railroad duced by Supreme Court. Re- Jefferson City. Mo., July 13.

County Attorney Is Asked For Complaint. JOHNSON INTERVIEW. Says He Will Tell Story on Wit ness Stand. Until Then Will Not Give Ver si on of Fight. It is well that the sheriff's office Is not crowded with business at the pres ent time, as Sheriff Norton's first day in office has been taken up almost ex clusively by friends and well wishers who came n or telephoned to congratu late him. Ex-Sheriff John Wilkerson started to the penitentiary early this morning with the 13 prisoners who were scheduled to "go over the road" nearly two weeks ago. Their trip wa delayed until the unlucky 13th by the sheriff's inability to get the necessary papers signed up. Deputy Sheriff Mon roe is away on his vacation, and will not be back until the end of the wr ?k. In regard to his arrangement of the office force. Sheriff Norton said to day: "I have done nothing in that line except to reappoint in their places. Jailer Henry Bayliss and his assistant A. L. Sauls. They are excellent men for the place, and will be retained. As to the other deputies, 1 have made no ar rangements, and will not for some time. At present, I intend to take care of the office work myself. There are matters on hand which I understand and must handle. I am undecided as to the colored deputies. Monroe, the regular deputy, is a good man, and so also is Charles Lytle, whom we have kept as a special deputy since the first of the year. I cannot keep both of them, and have not decided upon the choice. I shall make an effort to keep up the standard of efficiency for the office, and when my arrangements are made, I will have a competent staff of assistants." It is generally understood that Sheriff Norton intends to retain the services of John Wilkerson for criminal cases, and as Wilkerson is admittedly one of the best officers in the country and CoU Norton is willing to assume the responsibility of the conduct of the of fice, no reasonable objection could be made. It is believed by Wilkerson's friends that the "late unpleasantness" j will have a salutary effect upon Wilk erson, and keep him in the straight and narrow path for a long time. An effort has been made to create the impression that Wilkerson was in ill repute with the other county officials. With one or two possiDie exceptions, nothing could be farther from the truth. While they deplore Wilkerson's unlucky habit, they are almost unanimous in their praise of him as an officer and a man. The prevailing sentiment around the court house favors "Uncle John," and they deplore the fact that his one weak ness is of the character to make his resignation necessary. No Criminal Prosecution. County Attorney Schenck voiced the popular sentiment in regard to the ex-sheriff today when he said: "There is a weak spot in the make up of most men. In fact most men have several weak spots. John Wilkerson has but one, and un fortunately, it is the one that attracts most attention and comment. Even with this against him, I have never known a man with more likable qualities. None of his friends deny that he drinks, or try to excuse him in it, but they are Justified in their statement that he's a fine man, for all that. Big hearted, honest and faithful are among the many things to be said in his favor. As an of ficer, he is, in my estimation, without an equal. When he goes after a criminal, he gets him. and no night is too dark or no road too long for him. His courage is beyond question, and so is his honesty. Of my own person al knowledge. I know of attempts to hrlb him without result. and his word is good under any circumstance or condition When asked whether or not a com- j plaint would be issueo. against wilkerson and Ward on the charse of assaulting Ben jonnson. cnencit im plied: "A complaint nas oeen aK.eu, and I have been urged to file it.

Judge Schoch is the only man who saw any part of the disturbance, and what he saw was in keeping with Wilkersonjs version. Stanley Medlicott was in his office at the time, but did not hear or see any part of the row. Unless it Is shown to be assault, no action will be taken." Johnson Will Push Case. Ben Johnson, who was severely in- THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO HOWL ABOVT- Tp Gentlemen and Let the Bird In- Wednesday 75c Infant Shoes 35c You can't buy Washburn Shoes anywhere else but here.

I have re ceived a lot of unpleasant notoriety over this case, and as long as it has gone this far, I intend to push it to the limit. I see that every one lese connected with it has made one or more .statements, but I shall reserve mine until the right time. Then I will make no attempt to shield myself or make it any worse for others than it is. "I am still weak from loss of blood, but will be out in a day or two. "I do not want to discuss the court house incident any further at this time, but a thorough investigation is what I want, and what I mean to have." As County Attorney Schenck has refused up to date to issue a com plaint against Ward and Wilkerson, Johnson's reference to the "witness stand' may mean that he will bring civil suit against them for damages. He refused to discuss the proposition. 1 Caton After the Place. A few of Col. J. D. Norton's friends spent an uncomfortable hour Monday afternoon, while the cere mony of establishing a new sheriff of Shawnee county was in progress. When Col. Norton and his escort, bearing John Wilkerson's resignation with the string tied to it, appeared et the governor's office, they were not the whole thing. They were merely "among those present." Chief of Police R. W. Eaton, with an ardent following, was on the grounds, like wise on the telephone. It Is under stood today that Chief Eaton was reasonably sure of getting the ap pointment. It had been reported that John Wilkerson would resign, and this added to the hilarity of the occa sion as planned the day previous. Eaton Is reported to have stated to close friends that he was just as sure of securing the appointment as though he had it in hand. His hopes were further strengthened by the fact that John Dawson, the governor's right-hand man, was for him. When Col. Norton approached the throne, he found Eaton's delegation and one supporting Dr. H. H. Keith. All the candidates in the coming election had recognized the advantage which went with the appointment, and were working accordingly. Col. Norton, who Is so free from guile that he cannot be termed an expert politician, trustingly turned in the Wilkerson resignation without the conditions. In a few min utes things looked so dark, and the Eaton crowd was assuming so much prominence, that he began to wish he t-.ad not been so hasty. After Gover nor Stubbs had sounded some of the leading Republican politicians by tele nhone. and the Eaton hopes had faded to a shadow. Col. Norton received the desired commission, and returned to the nonrt hni's.p. Hfrp he found a recall from the governor's office, and went back again, without pausing to be sworn in Dy tne county cierK. it was fcere that the agony commenced. Those who knew the queer turns taken in po litical deals and the strong pressure being brought to bear by the Eaton forces, feared the worst. The court house contingent was highly elated when the colonel returned, wearing his usual smile. It appears that Governor Stubbs. in his haste to settle the mat ter and clear his office of the delegates, had neglected an important part of the transaction. He forgot to ask Col. Norton whether or not he was a first water administrationist. The fear that by accident, some one who was not a loyal Stubbs supporter had broken through the sacred fence- was annoying until settled.

"Tour fessions 0CIETY recent comment on the Con or a Rebellious Wife cid not suit me at all," a Topeka women writis this department. "In fact is was entirely unjust and missed the whoe point of the Rebellious Wife's comy'.aints. In answer to it I will refer you to an edi torial in the last number of Vogu-?, Woman's Revolt Against Injustice, which explains better than I can my ideas of the causes which ha ire led to the restlessness and dissatisfaction of the modern woman. Women are not dissatisfied with the work for which nature and civilization have especially fitted them. They still want to be wives and mothers and homernakers and find their greatest happiness and usefulness In their traditional sphere. What they complain of, is not their work, but the world's failure to recognize and appre ciate it." The Vogue editorial says: "The re volt of women against the tyrannous demands of the home, where as wives and mothers, they work at hard labir from daylight to midnight for seven days out of the week, may be explained by the fact that their output is not considered of sufficient value to entitle them to be considered as having oc cupations. The courts, the census re ports, and most writers on political economy agree in estimating the multi farious, laborious and vital work per foimed toy women outside of office, shop or factory as too unimportant, to be regarded as economic production, only such clear sighted and enlighten ed thinkers as the late Carroll 1. fWright realizing the facts. Mr. Wright once said that if all the women work im without wages in our homes were tsuOder.ly to quit cooking, cleaning, tak ing care of babies and planning to make ends meet, it would mean noth ing less than a cessation of general In dustry, and that,- if such a situation continued indefinitely, and included a Btrike against maternity, it would mean the collapse of our industrial Empire and the end of the nation. "Although long ago enlight ened public sentiment demanded that woman's hours of labor in occupations where she works for wages should be limited, neither philanthropists nor suffragettes have made an effort to shorten the hours of the wife and mother, who is usually given less con sideration by her family and the pub lic than is habitually bestowed upon mechanical labor aids. Although her' work is about the most unhealthful possible, there has never been any gen eral effort to improve its sanitary as pect, and tne domestic woman, taken as a class, is a largely neglected social unit, iieretotoro she has dumbly en dured, so far as voicing her domestic wrongs in public Is concerned, and has listened the while with amused toler ance to the platitudes of the men lead ers on rostrum and in the pulpit, whose wont it is to prate about homemaking as the only vocation that makes her truly happy. "However, women themselves are taking a hand in educating the public in regard to the value of their work, and although their methods of educa tion are usually instances of individual revolt rather than of concerted move ment, sometimes they combine ef fectively. A case in point is that of the farmers" wives in Indiana who recently organized and gave a demonstration of the economic value of one aspect of their labor by refusing to furnish big dinners for the threshing hands. If the wife struck in other lines of work some one else would have to do it at an enhanced cost. .w.. .w..,.- vs. 1 'SSSm Sb.

CIJie Crosty Bros. .Co.- "Other woman are teaching the world the value of their home service by de clining longer to perform it, the drift of those of the middle classes to hotels, boarding houses and small apartments in the cities being so considerable that in many instances the husband has to work much harder to support his fam ily than he did when on the farm or in the home town or village when he had the industrial aid of his wife, and whatever judges, writers on economic subjects and census directors may think, it wouM be difficult to persuade these husbands that the home work of wives is a negligible factor in eco nomics. Both here and in Great Britain the number of married womei of the poorer classes who enter the in dustries is increasing rapidly, even in cases where the husbands are making good wages, for they frankly admit that they prefer factory work to do mestic labor in spite of the fact that they have children. Ask the husbands of these rebellious wives whether the manufacture of food, the making and mending of clothes, the laundry, the care of children and the other indus tries that used to be carried on at home are as efficiently and as econom ically done as in the old days. Ask th inspectors to tell you of the tragedies of neglected children and ill kept homes. "Domestic conditions became so in tolerable that first the daughters re volted, and now the wives are declin ing the onerous services demanded of them and are going into lines of indus try where their work is recognized and paid for exactly as men's work is ac knowledged and remunerated. A pa thetic manifestation of this latter day strike for freedom from the domestic service yoke is shown among poor mothers in the cities who deliberately keep their daughters in ignorance of household operations, and pay to have them taught stenography, so that they may be saved the experience of becom ing domestic slaves." "Contrast the work." the correspond ent goes on to say, "of my husband'3 stenographer and of "myself. The stenographer gops to work at half after eight o'clock and quits at half after five. She works steadily and faithfully all that time except for an hour al luncheon, but when she leaves the of fice her work is over until she returns. She has no further responsibility and can dismiss it entirely from her mind. I She may dine where she pleases, spend the evening to suit herself and when she goes to bed she sleeps uninter ruptedly until morning. She has a suf ficient salary to spend with no one to question her extravagance or penuri ousness. "On the other hand although I. likt the Rebellious Wife, am provided for generously as to my material wants, and keep servants I am obliged, as a mother to work day and night and am never free from care and responsibili ty. Even if I go away for a vacation and leave my children behind me they are on my mind night and day. I can never really get away from my work. When I am at home "I arise at S in the morning and am busy all day long managing household affairs, planning and ordering the kitchen and wardrobe supplies if not actually preparing them with my own hands, as is often neces sary when the servants leave" before I can replace them, settling a thousand questions of domestic economy, bath ing and dressing the children, answer ing their questions, deciding their dif ferences, training and directing their studies and their play, kissing their bumps, never for one second during the whole day free from their society, from their nerve racking noise, from the in tense strain of a mother's responsibili ty. And the wife's work does rot end at half after 5 when the stenographer I nui-s &side iuue earns. It continues even1 after the children are in bed for they are always on her mind, even if, which is unusual enough, she is able to secure some responsible person to stay in the house for the evening while she es capes for a few hours' recreation. "The work of the stenographer is broadening, liberating, that of the wife narrowing and confining. The stenog rapher is out in the world of men coming in contact with new people constantly mixing in affairs of inter est, mentally stimulated by her daily occupation. The wife stays at home with servants and ojiildren, her life rotating in a limited orbit of petty domestic concern and duties. She has no time for reading, study or recrea tion. And what Is her economical ap preciation' The stenographer has a salary to which her right is undisputed The wife has only so much as her husband sees fit to dole out to her. It is true that many women have an al lowance, but what does that mean? It means that after the husband and wife have carefully estimated the -expenses of the household to the last penny the servants' wages, of food and cloth ing for the wife and chilrden, and all the regular cost of the domestic es tablishment, a sum of money covering these expenses, and no more, is put in the bank monthly to her credit, and she is permitted to sign the checks to pay the bills and run the house, iror her own personal use nothing is lert. She has no independent income to do with as she pleases for the expend! ture of every penny of her allowance is determined for her and she must scrimp, and save, and figure in order to live within it. "And yet with all this tireless and unending service, this work of hand and heart and brain, the wife is an unconsidered economic factor and of ten ignored by her husband except in her special function of mother and housekeeper. The Rebellious Wife complained because her husband did rot make a companion nor confidant of her, and because the conditions of her life barred her from seeking sym pathy and understanding elsewhere. She loved her child, but it was .not enough for her to be a mother. She wanted also to be a wife, loved, ap preciated and deferred to who could feel that she was necessary to her husband's happiness, not merely a nurse maid for his children and the manager of a domestic establishment which he kept up in order to impress and entertain business acquaintances." The Tent City at the Country club has been devastated by wind and rain three times in the last week The simple life is strenuous enough when you are blown out of your bed and ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food. The story of great discoveries or in ventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study vari ous foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental dtrengt h. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally need ed. He knew that meat with the av erage man does not accomplish the de-i sired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centres is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy disestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily i3 easily seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fati gue or exhaustion. Grape Nuts food is in no sense a stim ulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

The predicted trouble that Lore" and Lady Somerset would cause when they found that their son and heir, Henry, had married Mrs. Ade line De Mare of this city has come, according to Craig Hunter, father of the bride. When Mr. Hunter heard of his daughter's marriage in Lon don, June 16, he predicted that the Somerset family would make trouble for the pair. According to Mr. Hunt er the family has caused a tempor ary separation andthat is the reason that Mrs. De Mare-Somerset has re turned to Kansas City without her husband. t -i "Mr. Somerset has gone to the castle of his mother. Lady Somerset, in England, in an effort to adjust family matters before he joins l wife in this country," Mr. Hunter said today. "Mr. and Mrs. Somerset had decided at the time of their mar riage to spend the summer in Switz erland and to allow my wife, who was with them at the time of the mar riage, to return alone to Kansas City. Such a clash was caused in the Som erset family, however, by the mar riage that my daughter determined the day before her mother was to leave Paris to come with her while her husband returned to England in an attempt to conciliate the family. As soon as this is accomplished my daughter says he will come to her in Kansas' City." Kansas City Star. Miss Elizabeth Holliday, Miss Esth er Rodgers.

It Is only in deah old Kansas." said the Curbstone Commentator, "deah old Kansas with her absolute lack of a civic sense of humor, that a man who was generally known to be a steady drinker' could be elected to public office on a dry ticket. And when, forced by public opinion to re sign owing to a drunken orgy on con fiscated booze, the spoils of law en forcement, in his public office, he is allowed to name his own successor: the joke Improves every minute. And if that is not enough to make you die a-laffin'. observe that the successor is member of the retiring official's force, closely connected with the ad ministration which ended in disgrace. and a candidate to succeed said retir ing official, and that his appointment, at the dictation of the resigning offi cer, gives mm an almost insuperable advantage over the other candidates for the nomination for the next term. then, purely, the significance and eternal fitness of our new state slogan will appeal to you as never before.

Sayler was shot and killed by Dr. W. R. Miller, a physician, during a light lr. Sayler residence Sunday night. It is said that Sayler returned to his home after a visit out of town and was killed after he had trapped the physi cian and his wife together. Ti? shoot ing was not made public until Aionaay. Both the physician and the women were bound over for trial by the cor oner's jury, the former for th-i death of the banker and the latter as aeces sory. Details of the occurrences leading un to the murder differ. It is said by some that the death of the banker was nlanned bv the woman and physi cian, while both of them, testifying at the lnauest. said the shooting was done by the physician in self defense. The woman was defiant while on the stand and seemed to be unconcerned about the tragedy. She was asked why she had not aided her husband when she saw that he was being killed and her only answer was: "It was none of my business, and I let them fight it out." Other witnesses at the hearing add ed to this proof of the apparent heart lessness of the widow, when thew tes tified that, following the shooting af fray, she telephone for a physician to dress the slight wound Miller received In the fight and then made a cup of coffee for him, while the body of her husband lay unattended in the next room. The power which succeeded in keeping the entire matter quiet for a day also has been effective in prevent ing full details as to the shooting from reaching., the public... It is certain, however, that "Mr. Sayler has known for several years of the relation said to exist between his wife and the physician. It is said he often has complained to her, but never has taken any public action in the matter. Sunday afternoon Mr. Sayler at tended a ball game outside of town. Returning home late at night. he found Miller at his home in company with Mrs. Sayler. The husband stop ped outdoors for a few minutes and they asked him to come in to play a game of cards, but he refused. Later. 1t is said, he entered the house and began upbraiding the couple for their conduct, which he said was arousing much gossip in Crescent City. Almost at the start of the fight, wit nesses say, the table on which the lamp stood was overturned and the room plunged into darkness. The two men continued to struggle, and the physician pulled an automatic revolver and began to fire. Even then the woman made no outcry, so far as could be heard in neighboring houses. The banker was wounded four times. The bullets took effect in botlrof his arms, one passed through the chest and a fourth pierced his heart, causing instant death. During the shooting Mrs. Sayler fled to the street, but returned as soon as it was over. JOHN' SWITZEITS BARN' BCRXS. Lightning Plays Havoc at His Old Homo In Ohio. John F.

I i Tate Pains in Describing Prop erty For Sale. Does't. Believe in Bargain Sale Plan. At the meeting ot the Topeka Ad vertising club held today at the noon hour, Mr. T. B. Burge of 'Elmhurst," gave a talk on "Real Estate Advertis ing." During the course of his re marks he said: "Real estate advertising is no more complex, nor is It different from other advertising. The great thing In suc cessful advertising is originality. The more originality, character, and en ihusiasm you put into an ad the more results you can obtain. Usually m the papers you see 'for sale,' 'for tale,' hut originality is lacking. "It would be better to say go to or something else something or iginal. (Laughter). "Take it here in town. One thing I think is lacking outside of character and something striking, and that is too little description. "The question is asked how am I to become enthusiastic over selling a home. I must, look at the property know it is good know its good and bad points and then be honest in ad vertising It. There is notning use setting the confidence of the people. "T don't believe in bargain sales. To Illustrate: Mr. Jones says a certain pro perty was $2,800 but now it is J2.50O. I believe that is poor advertising. "The principal thing is enthusiasm in advertising. Tou have to be full of your proposition no matter wheth er it is real estate or ary gooas. "I have often wondered how a man sells property by putting in little one inch ads one among a tnousana. a would use more display ads and less classified stuff. "Tell the people what you have sold and to whom you have sold it. Show that vou are a live wire a man wno is doing thines. Of course it takes money to advertise and a man must be rtninff a hie business. Tou must simply drive your point, and that is enthus iasm. Mr. W. Stephenson then made a few ffmarks. emDhasizing the fact that 'In advertising real estate, dealers often Overestimate their property, and he as serted that the only thing that will keep up a successful business is adver tising. Mr. Tom McXeal made a witty little speech giving the real estate dealers present a little dig in a humorous man ner. The resident. Mr. W. E. Rankin, was authorized to appoint seven delegates to the national convention to be held in Louisville, Ky., the latter part of Aug ust.

Wife of Stanford White's Slayer a Witness at White Plains. White Plains, X. Y., July 13. Evelvn Nesbit Thaw, subpoenaed by the state which is opposing her hus band's release from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane, took the stand today as a witness at the hearing in the supreme court here on Harry K. Thaw's mental condition. When Joseph Hudson, an old Long Island railroad conductor was testi fying the dignity of the court pro eeedinss were considerably ruffled by the boisterous laughter he created at times with his direct answers and 6ide remarks. Mr. Hudson said he had tour or five hours conversation with Thaw principally on railroad matters. "To tell you the truth," said the witness. "I wanted to find out wheth er or not he was insane and asked him all kinds of questions to draw him out." Thaw and the judge joined in the general laughter which this unsolic ited statement by the witness created. HAS ENLARGETJ PANCREAS.

To the Editor of the State-Journal: In your last evening's issue you have a dispatch from Larned criticizing ihe management of the state free employ ment bureau in anything but a gentle manly manner, alleging that an article appearing in a number of newspaperr had emanated from said office. In re ply I would like to state that the arucie alluded to did -not come from any per son in any way connected with this of fice. I would a!so like to state ti i.t this office has endeavored in every Hay to assist Pawnee county in obtalni:!; harvest hands many having teen sent direct to Mayor Frizell himself, the au thor of the article criticizing this of fice. I had hoped to so conduct the business of the free employment bu reau as to not inherit any of the feuds conducted against it before I took con trol, some three moii-.hs ago, but gave up that hope htn, ti.is morning 1 v.-as informed over the telephone by the father of Mayor Frizell that he wa th head of the firm of Frizeil A Co.. who conducted a pay employment agency in Topeka. one of whoe cards I now have before me. the principal display line on which is "Leave your orders for farm hands."

We solicit your ac counts and pay inter est on time deposits. "We Pay You to Save" Third and Kansas Ave. fitfmauracn'oinJrarcDanli Olqpeha Kansas Ind. Phone 210 Bell Phone 1160 HIS DAILY LIFE. How President of the U. i Keeps Bachelor's Hall. He Doesn't Seem Greatly to JHind the Hot Weather. HE HAS MANY GUESTS SHUKERS HOME. Assistant Attorney General Inter' viewed on Political Conditions. Chas. I. Shukers. assistant attorney general, is- spending his vacation 14 Sedan.- Chautauqua county, his old home. Mr. Shukers "while on duty in his office is one of the hardest men in the state house from which to get an interview. He is a worker and not a talker. But the soothing in fluences of his boyhood home seem to have incubated the talk germ in his soul and his local paper is responsible for the following interesting and timely discussion of several topics shout which everybody is talking at this time: "He is telling the governor to go ahead and try. the law first," contin ued the assistant attorney general. "It has not been proven that the law really needs fixing, ior the only place where it seems to be weak is where it provides that state banks shall not pay more- than three per cent inter est on time deposits. Of course there is no such restriction on national banks and it is feared that the na tional banks will make capital out of the fact that they can pay more for deposits than can the state banks which are insured in the guaranty fund. But there is no reason why the banks -of both classes cannot agree among themselves upon this point until the next session of the leg islature and then perhaps there will be still other features of the law that will need fixing. For tfiat reason Mr. Jackson has advised the governor not to call a special session." Mr. Shukers says that Stubbs is j "making good" as governor and pre dicts a. lively contest if the governor decides to make a fight for Curtis seat in the -senate. "The people of Kansas are in favor of tariff revision downward and I predict that every representative and senator from Kansas who fails to recognize this sentiment at home and to act upon it at Washington will have trouble. T-"nless Mr. Curtis takes an active stand with the downward revisionsts when the bill is submitted to the con ference committee I predict that he will hear from things at home. The same is true of some of the Kansas congressmen." said Mr. Shukers. One of the bills passed by the last (session of the legislature provides for uniform insurance rates. Mr. Shukers was the author of this hill and ex plained it at length, exploding many of the popular opinions about a new trust being formed by the state on in surance rates. "The real purpose of the bill is not to prevent lower insur ance rates at all," he said, ''but rather to legalize the charging of one rate by all companies. For many years the insurance companies doing business in Kansas have used what is known as the Eldridge rate book. This was done for economy and for other good reasons, but it nevertheless was a doubtful proceeding and perhaps vio lated the anti-trust law. The com panies can have one set of men og over the state and personally examine the property and make a rate on it much cheaper than each individual company could do it. If "each com pany did not the rates would neces sarily be much higher. Under the new law the rates charged by each com panv on the same property must be Identical. Some think this gives the companies too much latitude but it should be remembered that every par ty feeling aggrieved can go to the state insurance superintendent and have that officer pass upon the rate If the insurance company then feels that the rate made by that official is too low it can go into court and have the court determine the rate. This puts the question practically on the same basis as rauroaa rates wnicn are now fixed by the interstate commerce commission subject to court review. The new law will make insurance safer and cheaper in the long run ami will not change any of the methods heretofore used. "Kansas is dryer now than she has ever been before," continued Mr. Shu kers. "There are fewer violations of the prohibitory law now than ever known in Kansas history. This is due to the growing sentiment in favor of prohibition not only in Kansas, Dut everywhere. Then, too, the attorney general has left nothing undone to en force the laws. This, it must be ad mitted, has done much toward driving the saloon and bootlegger out of the state." PASSES THE HOUSE. The Income Tax Resolution Xow Goes to the President. Washington. July 13. By the de cisive vote of 317 to 14. more than the necessary two-thirds, the house passed the senate joint resolution providing for the submission of the income tax amendment question to the states. The negative votes were all cast by Republicans. The resolution now goes to the president for his signa ture. The debate lasted about four hours, and this afforded many mem bers mostly Democrats, an oppor tunity to air their views. The burden of the Democratic speeches was that it was simply a case of stealing Democratic thunder although some of the remarks on that side incidentally touched upon the tariff and the corporation tax with no little amount of castigation of the Republicans for failing, as was alleged, to keep party pledges. ALL CROPS BETTER. Condition on July 1 Compared With That of Same Date I-a.-t Year. FEAR ANOTHER FLOOD. Waters Receding at Ottawa But CM zens Are Apprehensive. Ottawa. Kan., July 13. Ottawa has renewed attention to the flood situation on her second week of serious trouble, The Marais des Cygnes river is falling slowly, it heavy showers here and gathering storm clouds raised anxious fears. The Santa Fe railway officials have requisitioned the largest engine in its Southern Kansas service for transfer work through the flooded yards and by this means breasted the current and established connections between south eastern Kansas and the Kansas City line.

RUN DOWN BY BUGGY. Chief Justice Johnston Is But Not Seriously. Injured Chief Justice Wm. A. Johnston had a narrow escape from serious in Jury last evening when he was struck in the side by the shaft of a passing buggy while he was board ing a street car at the transfer sta tion on West Eighth street. He was knocked down by the blow and the wheels of the buggy passed over him. However, he escaped with only a few bruises and today felt no eerious effects from his mishap. He came down to the state house today at noon to get his mail and spoke lightly about the accident: The chief Justice had stepped back from the car in order to allow the gates to swine open when two women driving in a buggy turned the vehicle toward the car and ran the Judge down. They did not even stop to see how badly the man under the wheels had been hurt, but turned into the avenue and drove rapidly away. Justice Johnston had only re covered a few "weeks ago from a serious operation in a local hospital and this accident might have been a serious matter. AT 40 MILES AN HOUR. Orvillc Wright Makes a Successful night at Fort Myer. Washington, July 13. Orville Wright last evening made a very successful flight in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer. remaining in the air 5 minutes. during which time the machine attain ed the exceptional speed of about 40 miles an hour and circled the parade grounds half a dozen times, a total dis tance of about three and a half miles. Mr. Wright concluded not to prolong the trial because the motor of the ma chine, which had Just been repaired. was not working perfectly. Shortly after 7 o'clock, after 2.000 spectators had waited for one and one- half hours, the breeze died down suf ficiently to permit of a flight. When the signal to start was given the ma chine shot forward instantly and mounted gracefully, in the nt breeze Mr. Wright guided the flyer to the lower end of the large parade ground and circled around toward the start ing point, gradually rising higher from 1 greeted him as he passed the starting point and sped away on the second round. Six times he rounded the course. After passing the crowd the sixth time the aviator descended easily and alighted with no apparent Jar. The W rights intend to make only short flights until the new bearings have become worn down and the pro pelling motor is working perfectly. Then they will make the official test to meet conditions prescribed by the government. wasnington, July 13. President lart, the summer "bachelor" of the White House, is sharing the fate of many other government officials and Washington residents whose families have gone away to mountains or sea snore. v The president is taking the situation Philosophically, doesn't seem greatly to mind the hot weath er, and is reading daily letters from Beverly which tell of the rapid im provement in Mrs. Taft's health. living bachelor fashion at the W hite House is not fraught with the same discomforts that beset the mere man who has his home "closed up on him" when his wife goes away and 1a compelled to seek food and lodg ings as best he may. The president and Mrs. Taft divided c the White House "help" when the occupancy of the Beerly cottage was begun, so the president is well taken care of and domestic affairs- at the White House run on much the same. ine president, however, allowed Mrs. Taft to take "the first cook" to Beverly while he makes himself con tent with the -"second cook." The second cook is a legacy from the Roosevelt administration. a nesrrn girl named Mary, who hails from Virginia, and whose sway over the White House kitchens now is complete. Mary has few peers as a cook in any matter gastronomic, but, as is to be supposed, she is at her best when frying chickens and making hoe- cakes. The president is entertaining many luncheon and dinner guests during his bachelor days and the sec ond cook is providing menus which few imported chefs could hope to equal. The president has happily solved the problem of disposing of the long evenings by taking automobile rides about the city and suburbs. He us ually starts out on these trips about 9:30. o'clock returning to the White House at eleven or later. Captain Archibald Butt, the president's aide, is always his companion on these Journeys and usually the president telephones an invitation to some cab inet oficer, senator or representative, and stops at the latter's house or club to pick him up. The evening rides often extend out into the beau tifu! Rock creek park, Vhich stretches for miles along the little waterway whose -name it bears. At other times Mr. Taft has his chauf feur drive about the city or on the Potomac park driveways which skirt the river back of the White House and the monument grounds. Arising at about 7' o'clock the president devotes-nearly an hour to dumb bells, pulley weights and other forma of exercise prescribed for him. He breakfasts slowly and usually alone, although for the last day or two he has had a guest 'from among the tariff conferees. During the morning meal and for half an hour or so afterward the president reads: the newspapers, between 9:30 and 10 o'clock he begins his busy day in the executive offices. At 1:30 comes luncheon at the White House, always with some invited guest for company, The afternoon is devoted to golf, for the president hopes to play every af ternoon that he remains in Wash ington, dinner always finds guests as sembled and usually it is an infor mal and delightful meal which begins a little after 7 o'clock and continues for an hour and a half.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JC yAT s TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1909. 3 I' Si 0 NORTH SIDE HEWS Kansas River a Deep and Wide Stream in Early Days. As lligh All Seasons Formerly as Recently. WATElt WAS CLEAR. Cultivation of the Land Causes Present Condition. II. If. Bair's relayed Trip From Chicago. While .speaking about the present high stage of the river, Charlea S. Saurn of 837 Kansas avenue. said that whaTi he first came to Kansas about forty years, ago, the river gen erally carried as much water for months at a time- as it has the past few days, and nothing was thought about it. "When he first came to this state from Illinois," said Mr. Saum, "the Kansas river carried as much water nearly all the year long as it has the past few days. We did not call it flood' then. In the early days very seldom sand bars could be seen and there- was plenty of swimming water at an places. However, although there was more water in the- river then it was never muddy, but of a clear blue. A person could see al most down to the bottom. "This condition, may have been due to the fact that there were few towns along the banks and acordingly few sewers to drain into the water. Then also the land along the river bottom was not cultivated. "Since this cultivation has been go ng on, I think the soil has .been -ished down into the stream and i elped to give the water its present -nuddy color as well as to fill up the river bed. "Another cause for the soil's wash ing away, I think is the cutting down of trees along the bank. Of course the roots of the trees held the earth together. As soon as they were cut down the bank was loosened and washed down, thus making the bed shallow. "I tiave also noticed that there are fewer islands in the river now than in the early days. These islands were heavily timbered, but when the trees were cut down the high water washed the banks away. I seem to remem ber when the waterworks engine stood on an island." II. H. Bair of 1315 Quincy street, returned Monday afternoon from a visit in Chicago. On account of the high water in the east he was on his way home for three days and three nights, traveling over. 927 miles and on live different railroads. "I left Chicago 10 a. m. Friday, on the Santa Fe," said Mr. Bair. "On that road I took the Chicago Alton to Glasco, Mo., a little town on the Mississippi river. We couldn't cross the river as the water was over the bridge, so we went to Louisiana, Mo. At that place I transferred to the Burlington and. on that railroad reached St. Louis Sunday morning. A little later I started for Kansas City on the Missouri Pacific, arriving there Monday morning. X arrived here Monday ..afternoon at 4:30 p. m. on the Santa Fe just fifty-three hours la ter than I would have been if I had made the regular time from Chicago to Topeka. "Part of the time we ran out of drinking water. The passengers helped keep up the supply by procur ing water at small stations. At some of these small towns we would go quite a distance from the depot be fore we could find wells. "After the drinking water tanks were filled, whoever wished to wash would pour a bucket of water in the wash-basin, let it run out when he was through and the next one who wanted to wash did "likewise and so on. However, in spite of these incon veniences and delays all of the pas sengers and train crews were good natured and we became acquainted and had a jolly time." North Side Xews Notes. Look for Silver Leaf Kraut. Cahbaee is looking better than ever before. Indications are that there will be an abundant harvest or this vege table, and of course the kraut made from the cabbage will bo correspond ingly as good. Otto Kuehne of the Kuo'hne Preserving works has con tracted for 125 cars of cabbage from which he expects to get 5,000 barrels of kraut, so watch for the Silver Leaf kraut; "Brilton Jones, the semi-insane Wrlchman. who was a former well known character on the North Side and in the city at large, writes again from Tetenfack, Wales. He returned to his native- land a few years ago. Occasionally, however,- he writes to North Side people and refers to his reft 1 or fancied' wrongs. John Nystrom recently received a letter from him in- which, among other things he states that if the prohibi tion law was annulled he "might re turn to Kansas. The letter in part follows: "It is a shame to see the very rich est ladv of real estate-has-been my 2 faced traitor on iart of my mother's estate and what a torment, it is to see the two continents stick their Mack fingers at their scandal. I wish that the prohibition law be taken from-the statues of Kansas so that I mav return to my location in Clay Center. In spite of the tempest of the weather and the ravages the floods, the people are so wicked that the Lord Almighty must show that his hand ruleth and ever .since the Maine was blown up in Cuban waters there should be harmony and peace. They had no business to put me in the asylum and abuse me there. So far I have been picking stones In the hay field.'V North Side Xews Notes and Personals. Charles F.

Swartz. of 1228 Quincy street. J. R. Spetter has returned from a visit in Willard. The building at 1001 Kansas ave nue suffered slightly from the storm Sunday morning. Several bricks were knocked down. The telephone in .the Scotton building across the street was also put out of commis sion by the storm. One day without rain that is do ing pretty well. The apostles of despair got little satisfaction from the recent flood in Topeka. The streets have been washed clean by the recent rains and present a very respectable appearance. The thirteenth annual picnic of the grocers and butchers of the city will be held at Vinewood park on Aug ust 5. H. G. Knowles of Lincoln. Neb., gives' an illustrated, lecture tonight at the First Christian church on work in the slums. The C. E. pastime show given last night at the manse of the First Pres byterian church was well attended and was a unique affair.. Motor boat owners have taken ad vantage of the high water and have enjoyed darting around on the ruf fled surface of the river. Street Commissioner Frank Snyder Is sick at his home from overwork and summer ailments. It is expected that he will be out in a few days. A. Newman, cashier of the First National bank of Logan, is in To peka. He says that the prospects for a big corn crop were never so good. The front walls of the Copeland have been condemned by the fire marshal. It might be a good plan to condemn the whole building and build a new one. At the First Baptist church this evening Dr. i,. u. nenson oi iew Jersey will lecture on the Orient illustrating with views oi maia. China, Burmah and Japan. The monkey immediately behind the Copeland county pharmacy has attracted thousands of passersby dur ing the past few weeks. The children delight in watching his antics. The danger of a further rise in the river is removed by the fact that the streams west of Topeka are falling and that there were no rains re ported in any section of the state last night. The reinforced concrete which makes the second floor of the new Davis wholesale grocery house set tled last evening and threatened to fall. The weight bent the supports double. The management of the state wide fair to be held September 13 to 18, has started an advertising campaign. Much interest is being taken in the event and the entries in all classes will be unusually numerous. Rev. Oliver N. Roth, pastor councellor of the Wichita C. K. union was in Topeka today. He says that the twenty Topeka delegates to the convention to be held in Wichita this week will be well provided for Hundreds of neat attractive posters have been placed upon the street and over the state for the statewide fair which will be held in Topeka, September 13 to 18. Twenty thous and dollars in premiums will be given away. The river is rapidly dropping down to the sand bars and their glistening surfaces wilV soon be dodged by motor boats. Fishing should be good after awhile. In Kansas City they are fishing during the high water. Willie Hoppe, the world's cham pion billiardist, who appeared at a local poolroom last night, left this morning for Wichita, where he will j give another demonstration while on his way to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle. There was no meeting of the .board of education last night as a quorum was not represented. A number of the members of the board waited at the high school building half an hour in the hopes that their fellow board members would turn up. The farmers hailed with joy the yesterday's prediction of the weather man. and fortunately the prediction seems to be coming true. Another week of rain at this time would play havoc with both the growing crop and those already harvested. United States -Commissioner Frank Campbell placed, a $500 bond on Andrew Kelley and Walter Frost who were arrested yesterday for knocking a postoffice special messenger from his bicycle. The hearing of the two colored youths will be eld in the fed eral building July 20. "Even If he did fall from grace, you will have to admit that John Wilk erson is somewhat of a politician just the same," said one Kansas avenue man this morning.

The bond was still good and his industry may lead him into a third arrest. Mrs. Bob Kneislei escaped unscathed from under a dozen counts of selling liquor and maintaining a nuisance yes terday afternoon. Ed McKeever fur nished the loophole.

PAYS BACK $9,000,000 Consolidated Gas Refunds charze to Its Patrons. Over- New York, July 13. The greatest bookkeeping, office and clerical task ever undertaken has been almost completed and in a remarkably short time. Nineteen weeks ago the United States district court and the Con solidated Gas company, with its allied concerns, commenced the re funding of more than (9,000.000 to nearly one million consumers. This sum represented an overcharge of 20 cents on every dollar which had been paid for gas between the time the United States supreme court decided that the law was constitutional. The refunding company em ployed several thousand book beepers and clerks in various offices in the different parts of the city and required the use of thousands of dollars worth of pos tage stamps. More than 800,000 let ters were mailed and nearly 1,000,000 different accounts were audited and as many checks drawn. All but $24. 983 of the original fund has been re funded and for this amount the con sumers to whom it is due have not entered claim and have not been found by the courts. It was expected that this gigantic bookkeeping and clerical task would require almost a year. The interest on the original fund will just about pay the expense of refunding it. it is believed.

News of a remarkable play of lightning at an isolated point in Chaves county Sunday has just reached here. During a thun derstorm, lightning struck the house of VV Rail, a homesteader, and H N Rutherford, who with his family was at the Rail home, was killed. Follow ing this at intervals of one minute eleven more bolts struck the house each shocking an occupant, though not fatally. There were 13 persons in the house at the time of the storm. The last stroke set the house on fire but the flames were extinguished by 'Mrs Rail with buckets of water. HILL IS OPTIfJnSTIC. Head of Great Northern Predicts Good Crop Yield. Lincoln, Neb., July 13. "William J. Bryan today addressed a letter to President Taft asking him to allow the people to vote on popular election of senators. Mr. Bryan says: "To President Taft: Now that the states are going to vote on the ratifica tion of the amendment specifically authorizing an income tax, why not give them a chance to vote on an amendment providing for the election of United States senators by popular vote? In your speech of acceptance you said that you were personally in clined to favor such a change in the constitution. Would this not be an opportune time to present this subject to congress? Two constitutional amend ments, one authorizing an income tax and the other providing for the popu lar election of senators, would make your administration memorable, and I pledge you whatever assistance I can render in securing the ratification of these amendments. With great re spect, I am, yours truly, "W. J. BRYAN." RACING DAYS ARE OVER Roseben, Famous Champion, to Be Retired. New York, July 13 James J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Oreat Northern Railway companv, returned to New York yesterday from his Canadian fishing trip, and talked in an optimistic vein concerning business and crop conditions. "There will be good crops,'" said Mr Hill, "not bumper crops but a good round yield, comparing well with the average. "Their money value will be larger than usual, for prices will be high Corn is now selling around 63 cents in Nebraska and wheat at about $1.30 in Minneapolis. The time of low prices for grain has passed. A great deal of wealth will be added to the farmer's store by the sale of his crops this year. "As for the business outlook, there is no menace ahead. Good crops bringing high prices will help the manufacturing industries. There should be a steady expansion in that line: probably it will receive some additional stimulus afte congress adjourns." New York, July 13. Roseoen, once the champion race horse of the Amer ican turf, and believed by many to have been the champion sprinter in the world, will race no more. David Johnson, his owner, has decided to ship him to. the big farm of James W. Wadsworth in Genessee valley, where he will pass the remainder of his days grazing on fine pastures. Roseben broke down hopelessly in the forelegs after his race at Sheeps head Bay ten days-ago, when he was defeated by Nimbus. In that race, Johnson and his friends tried to make a big winning and wagered large amounts of monev on the famous champion at odds of about 8 to 1. One of the sensational big winnings of the turf was made on Roseben two years ago, when his owner bet $30,000 at even money that he could sprint seven furlongs in 1:25. He did it in 1:22 and Johnson won his $30,000 and Roseben established a world's record which may never be equalled. Roseben raced in California last winter and won some good races, but his legs commenced to trouble him and on his return to the east it was seen that his racing days were over. TO TRY FOREIGN TIES. Interesting Experiment to Be Tried on the Santa Fe. LIFE IN M WOODS Topeka Boy Campers Haying Jolly Time at Maple Hill. Bad Weather Has No Terror For the Youngsters. GAME OF BASEBALL. Enjoy a Contest With the Coun try Boys. They Will Break Camp on Next Saturday. "I like this," said one of the boys, with the emphasis on the "like," im mediately after the storm at the Y. M. C. A. encampment near Maple Hill on Sunday morning. The wind blew with such fury that it twisted the limbs of the trees in the vicinity, and laid low the corn. In the midst of the storm when Mr. C. H.. Fenstermacner, the secretary in charge of the camp, made a tour of inspection of the boys' tents during the deluge when the thunder was reverberating among the hills, the faces of the youngsters were as white as sheets but when the storm subsided they declared that they were hav ing the time of their lives. The officers did not fare so well, and it was only due to a strenuous effort that their tent was not blown down. The shower bath they received made it necessary for Mr. V. B. Dye, the physical director, to appear at the breakfast in a suit of pajamas, and a visitor from Topeka paraded about the camp during the morning while his clothes were drying in a swimming suit which fitted decid edly T.oo soon." In spite of the fact that the weather has been anything but favorable the boys have been having a great time. Mill creek, near which the camp lies has been a raging torrent, so it has been impossible tor the boys to in dulge in boating, fishing, or swimming, but still they have found plenty to do. The other afternoon the boys chose sides in anticipation of a battle royal. One contingent with a la minute start went into hiding. After a diligent earch the other division came upon them and a battle ensued, pignuts serv ing as the missiles. There were no casualties among these mock Indian braves but the 22 youngsters thoroughly enjoyed the pastime. On Saturday afternoon a game or baseball was played with the husky country lads of Maple Hill. It was a good clean game, and as might be ex pected the country fellows won. Buffalo Mound, which is said to be the highest point between the Missis sippi river and western Kansas, and is situated near the camp, was climbed one morning by the boys who stacked up a pile of stone as a "trade mark," as the small boy would say. A won derful view is obtained from this hill, the state house dome being visible on a clear day. An excellent cook is employed and the boys do justice to their sharpened j appetites. It is the idea or Mr. rens termacher to make the camp life edu cational as well as beneficial from a physical point of View. Arrangements were made with "Colonel Golden, the ex-Indian fighter, to be with the boys at the camp fire hour on Saturday evening to entertain them by his tales of thrilling adventure. jrie was un able to be there on account of serious illness, but Frank L. Snow, who has spent several years in Africa, told the youngsters as they sat in a circle around a merrily burning fire, of some of the curious customs and supersti tions of the Mashona race of people, illustrating by a dance and songs. One of the features of these camp fire gatherings is the singing by the boys who fully enter into the spirit of the occasions. Short devotional exercises are held every day and longer services take place on Sunday. Last Sunday the boys were told of missionary work in Africa. The boys will return home by the country road route on Saturday. On Monday a second encampment will start on the same spot on the Hamil ton farm near Mill creek. The follow ing are the bo- tenters: Hampton Shirer. Robert Drum. Sam Stewart, Charlie Eldridge, Fred Wright, George Hogeboom. Beryl Johnson, Churchill Sargent, Frank De Armond, Oscar Bolton, Ralph Kings ley, Robert Carter, Roger Davis, Mark Weidener, Richard Righter, Willie McKibben, Will Wolfe, John Marsh, Charles Freeman, Chester Ebey, Wil liam Macferran, Reid Morrison. ON SANTA FE BOOKS. the two cent Ctre in Kansas If the railroads win their rate case in Nebraska. Two cent fare in Kansas is de pendent on the outcome of the Neb raska case now nearing the end of its journey through the courts of that state. The following is the two cent fare agreement between the railroad board and the railroads: "It is further ordered that upon completion of the litigation of the two cent passenger rate between the state of Nebraska and certain rail ways, now pending in the courts, which involves the question of the constitutionality and reasonableness of the two cent fare law, this order shall cease and become of no forte and effect. Upon the termination of the said litigation now pending in the courts all parties hereto. both the state of Kansas, the board of rail road commissioners of the state of Kansas, the attorney for said board, and its officers and agents, and each and all of the defendant companies, and all railways, both collectively and individually, shall at that time be placed in the same position as if the order herein made had not been entered." SHE WAS POISONED. Adilitioral Kvidence Regarding Murder of Elsie Sigel. the New York. July 13. A chemical ana lysis by Professor Geo. A. Ferguson of Columbia university, has detected the presence of poison in the vital organs of Elsie Sigel, who was murdered in the room of Leon Ling and whose body was packed in a trunk. Further chemi cal tests are being made to determine the nature of the poison. This disclosure, bv Professor Fergu son confirms the evidence submitted to the police ten days ago that a China man tried to buy poison at a drug store near the Chinese restarant over which the girl was murdered and that this effort to procure the poison was made on the day before Elsie Sigel was kill ed. Another drug store near the rest aurant filled a prescription for a Chi naman for a powerful irritant poison the night before the girl was murdered. The result of the chemical analysis on the viscera is the first absolute proof the oolice have had that Elsie Sigel was noisoned before her body, was ctonri nr nnd naeked in a trunk. A post mortem examination led the coroner to declare that the girl had i .r,nioi to Heath. Strangulation ,o-v, -hxio hepn the direct cause of death, but Professor Ferguson has es tablished the fact that the young mis sionary worker was unaer me wuu ence of a powerful drug at the time she was strangled.

Pre-Inventory Sale Clearing the channel A store, like a river, must keep its current sweet, pure and clear from bank to bank every thing that tends to obstruct its course must be cleared out. Odd lots of merchandise retard the cur rent of a store, just the same as sandbars re tard the current of a river. Just now there is a merchandise clearance the Pre-Inventory Sale; running through this store that is sweeping all summer mer chandise and odd lots before it, and giving some of the greatest values of the year.

The refusal of Sam Langford to fight Stanley Ketchei at Elv, Nevada, for one-fifth of the $25,000" purse is regarded by fight fol lowers here as an indication that Lang ford does not consider Ketchei such an easy proposition as he and his manager have announced. Sporting men agree that if Ketchei and Johnson were as easy to whip as Langford has publicly declared them to be, he could afford to fight them without any nnanciai m the nurses to be offered, so that as champion, he could be in a position to easily make a fortune. Oth ers contend that Langford is entitled to at least an even break on the Ely purse.
