m i STATES FALL OUT Kansas and Nebraska at War Oyer Insane Man. Books County Sheriff Arrested at Instance of Sister State. ACTING UNDEIIOKDEKS Told by Board of Control to Re turn Crazy Person. He Was Citizen of Nebraska and Former Inmate of Asylum. Interstate complications are threat ened between Kansas and Nebraska all because a Kansas sheriff from Rooks county returned an Insane man from Nebraska to his home In that state and tried to get the authorities there to take care of him. The Nebraska county officials reared up on their hind legs and had the eheriff arrested under that clause of the Nebraska law that prohibits any one from bringing an insane person across the borders of the state. The Kansas law requires that insane per sons and paupers be taken back to the states from which they came, f The funny part about it all is that f the Kansas sheriff, who was arrested and who is now under bond of $500 awaiting trial at Nebraska City, was i acting under orders from Harry Bow man of the Kansas board of control. The insane man in the case is J. A. Rankin and he was an inmate of the Nebraska asylum until a few months ago when he was discharged I as cured. He came to htocKion Rooks county, and a short time after his residence there was adjudged in sane by the probate court. Then Sheriff S. N. Manaugh, after con ferring with the state board of con trol about the matter, took Rankin .back to Nebraska a few days ago. The sheriff was promptly arrested by the Nebraska authorities for bringing an insane man into the state. He was released on a $500 bond and his trial set for the "Wednesday of this week. After having gotten him into this trouble the sheriff expects the board of control to help him get out of it. After a conference of state officials Attorney General Jackson wired the attorney general of Nebraska as fol lows: "Please order local authorities at Nebraska City to dismiss case against Kansas sheriff, arrester -for returning an insane patient to Nebraska." No word has been received from the. .Nebraska attorney general. It th case goes to trial, the" Kansas board of control will employ counsel to defend the Rooks county sheriff. There is suspicion here that the Nebraska asylum discharged Rankin as cured for the purpose of dumping him on to Kansas. "It is the first time a Kansas official was ever .humiliated for returning an insane person," said Harry Bowman, chairman of the board of control. "While there are no reciprocal laws on the subject, me various siaics have always adhered to a policy of looking after their own insane and accepting them back from another state. Kansas has accepted many of that kind. "I cannot believe that the Neb raska state officials will punish an official of another state for taking one of its unfortunate people back home." 'iWiKA. KANSAS, JULY 20, 1909. road board and that body decided that the order of the board of health was not applicable to the railroads. It is Iikelv that the order will not be generally ooeyea without a fight. NEED MOT RETURN- Uovernor Oillett of California Re fuses Requisition. Sacramento, Cal., July 20. Gover nor Gillett has refused to honor re quisitions from Kansas for the return of David Woods and Joseph Stanford, Dotn charged with murder and at present in San Diego. The refusal was based on the ground the verdict of the Kansas coroner's Jury was not sufficient under the laws of the state. Attorney General Jackson is not in the city today, and Assistant Attorney General Shukers has just returned from his vacation trip and knew nothing about this requisition. But Mr. Shukers was of the opinion that the California people were justified by law in refusing to honor a requisi tion based only upon a coroner's warrant. It is supposed that the papers were issued on authority of a clerk in the attorney general's office. Woods and Stanford are wanted for the crime of murder committed in Brown county. The .requisition papers were issued July. lb. TUESDAY EVENING. ADAMS ON STAND rcung Officer Who Fought With Lieutenant Sutton At the Time of His Death Under Examination. HE FOUGHT OSTEKMAN And Later Fired on Adams, the Witness Says. He Declares the Dead Man Used Two RevolTers. OBJECT TO WORD DAGO. Federation Miners Condemn Xamea Applied to Foreigners. Denver. Col.. July 20. Condemna tion of the American manner of re ferring to foreigners as "dagoes," "round heads," "butternuts," "red necks" and other obnoxious titles, occupied considerable time in the convention of the Western Federa tion of Miners this morning. The greater part of the membership is of foreign birth and it objects to the titles commonly applied. James Kirwin of the Black Hills, a native born Irishman, expressed his sentiments thus: "I consider that I am a better citi zen than a large portion of the native born Americans for I came in with clothes on my back and my fare paid." A motion to appoint a committea representing all classes of mining and underground work for the pur pose of forming one large miners or ganization was defeated on the ground that its wording was not clear and it represent industrial un ionism in its true sense. SOLVEBlilNE PROBLEM. One Road Would Remove Drippings Only at Icing Points. K. J. Altswager. treasurer of Reno county, and candidate for state treas urer, had business in Topek. this week and while here talked with friends about his political aspirations. Mr. Altswager received the endorsement of the county treasurers in their state convention last spring and also has the warm sunoort of his county organize Hon and Is strong in the faeventh dis- 11 VI. With Senator Chapman out of the race the chances of the Reno countj-j man look brighter. Senator Chapman, who had been mentioned as a candi date for state treasurer, has issued the following statement: "After mature deliberation I have decided not to enter the contest for state treasurer. I have canvassed the situation pretty thoroughly and have figured it out that it wili take months of time I cannot take uraay from n.y business. I believe it would be folly for me to neglect my business to iiiake the fight." The withdrawal of Senator Chapman leaves Senator Cambern of Neosho in the race, and he is a strong man. Tht-.i there is Mark Tulley the present treas urer, to reckon with. While the cus tom in Kansas has been to bar the-third- term to state officials, yet it has been broken, and Mr. Tulley's splendid record has started a good deal of third term talk in his case. The recent criticism over the removal of the G. A. R. offices from the ea.t wing of the state house to the north wing was ill advised and uncalled for. The effort was made in a newspapci article to show that the G. A. R. was being badly treated and forced to leave comfortable offices for a makeshift place in order to give the entire nortii side of the east wing to the board of health. The facts are, that the matter was checked up to the G. A. R. officials and they agreed to move. The offices they -""ill occupy in the north wing are as comfortable as those they are leav ing and while they only have two rooms in their present quarters they will have rooms in the north wing. Then the state will remodel and refurnish these new offices and will spend more money on the G. A. R. in this move than has been spent for that organization in the past six years. Chicago. July 20. Railroad mechait al officials and engineers now believe that they have found a solution to the problem how to take care of the briit drippings from refrigerator cars, which, through its corrosive effect on steel and iron has caused incalculable damage to bridges, signals, interlocking and track structures. One road, which made some calculations bearing on this prob lem, found that the damage amounle! to over $400 per mile during a year. It is now proposed to make the cars drip tight and to remove the brine only at icing stations, on the average of 200 miles apart. It has not been ascertain ed whether this plan will work in hot 'weather. NOT A GOOD PLACE. Commissioner Kccfe Disapproves New Orleans as Immigration Station. New Orleans. La.. July 20. Before leaving New Orleans for St. Louis to day. Daniel J. Keefe. United States commissioner of immigration. de clared that opportunities for agricul tural employment in the south were not such as would attract immigrants in comparison with other sections of the country. In connection with a decrease of immigration to this section, which he said had been steadily shown in re cent vears. Commissioner Keefe let it be understood that unless? convincing evidence to the contrary could be brought he would make an unfavor able report on New Orleans as a site for an immigration station. HENRf ALLENSPEAKS. Delivers Address on Individuality in Newspaper Work. Seattle. Wash., July 20. The Na tional Editorial association trans ferred its headquarters to the Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific auditorium to day. Henry J.

Tonight the newspaper men will be entertained at dinner by the exposi tion officials. The state board of health today tarted the publication of its famous order abolishing public drinking cupj from trains, depots and schools. The order becomes effecti-e Sept. 1. The board takes the grounds ths the com mon drinking cup spreads disease and that all public places and institutions where water is kept for drinking pur poses should furnish cheap paper or paraffine drinking cups. A slot ma chine for these -cups is recommended by the board. The authority of the board for this radical and sweeping order w "-"-anted by the last session of the legislature. Many school men are opposed to the abolishment. of the common drinking cup, and the rail roads referred the matter to the rail- BIG JOHN ASHLEY SOLD.

The Michigan will be given two 24 hour runs, one at a speed of 12 knots and the other at 17',-i knots. Lieutenant Osborne Dies. Portsmouth. O., July 20. Lieutenant Arthur P. Osborne. IT. S. N retired, aged 65 years, died at his 'home near cere touay. I Annapolis, Md., July 20. The sec ond day's session of the naval court which is sitting to investigate the causes for the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, IT. S. M. C. of Port land, Ore., who either shot himself or was shot during a quarrel with brother officers on the night of Octo ber 12, 1907, opened today with Lieu tenant Robert E. Adams, U. S. M. C. still on the witness stand. Adams was the officer who fought with Sutton and testified yesterday that Sutton killed himself when he thought he had shot Lieutenant Roel ker, another officer of marines, who was concerned in the brawl. Henry E. Davis, counsel for Sut ion s motner in tne hearing. con tinued his examination of Adams. Adams was allowed counsel by spec ial permit or the navy department rne other young officers of marines who were with Sutton on the night ne met his death, including Lieu tenants Bevin and Osterman, are barred from the court room until they are called to testify. It is ex pected they will follow Lieutenant Adams on the witness stand today. Osterman had a fight with Sutton an hour before Adams met him and he began blazing away at Adams with two revolvers, according to Adams' testimony. Adams fell into a number of dis crepancies in his testimony on cross examination which his counsel, Arthur E. Birney, former United States district attorney at Washing ton, will endeavor to clear up after Mr. Davis gets through with the cross examination. Mrs. Sutton's lawyer began to ques tion Adams today about a interview he had with Sutton's sister, Mrs. Hugh A. Parker, shortly after young Sutton's death. Mrs. Parker, who is attending the hearing with her mother, had wanted to question all the young officers, who were supposed to know something about her brother's death. She had asked j Adams to grant her a talk alone and tell the truth about the matter, ac cording to the testimony. Not Sure About the Gun. Mr. Davis went over the scene of the shooting again with Lieutenant Adams and dwelt on the details of distances ai.d time, in an effort to place th ex act spot where and the time at which Sutton was shot. The witness could only remember ap proximately these details. He said he was sure Sutton wore an overcoat and did not remember of Sutton taking it off anytime previous to the first alter cation between him and Sutton when they both stripped to the waist pre paratory to fighting. The lawyer read excrpts from Lieu tenant Adams' testimony at the first inquiry and pointed out some of the discrepancies. The witness insisted however, the testimony seemed to vary, that his an swers at the present inquiry were the correct ones. "I want you to state again if you saw Lieutf.nant Sutton kill himself" Mr. Davis asked. "As I have said, I saw Sutton draw a revolver from under him in his right hi I'd like this, (illustrating the mo tion) turn his head to the right and fire. I saw the flash jump about six ii'ches," the lieutenant replied. Mr. Davis pressed the question a1? to whether Sutton fired the fatal shot with the large service revolver or the tip all one. 'It wasn't very light," said the. lieu tenant, "but it was my idea that he shot himself with a small revolver.' Mr. Davis called the witness' atten tion to his testimony of yesterday in v.hich ne said quite positively that it was the small weapon. "I have told you half a dozen times this morning thnt I did not positively identify the gun," said the witness. "It didn't seem as if it was as large as the service gun." He Went to China. The witness said he was assigned to the gunboat Allen, which cruised up and down the coast of China shortly after the Sutton affair. "Was L'eutenant Osterman with you?" asked Mr. Davis. "He was not," replied Adams. The witness said he had not seen Osterman for some time until he met him at the present inquiry. Mr. Davis referred to a reported interview with Adams in "a New York paper of July .7, in which Ad ams was quoted as saying that the Suttons were trying to "trump up a murder charge against two men who were innocent," and asked the wit ness if he said anything like that. Major Leonard, the judge advocate objected to this line of questioning on the ground that it was not pertin ent to the issue. "This witness knows what he is charged with." said Major .Leonard. "He knows there are no charges against- him as far as the department is concerned." Mr. Davis argued that if besides obtaining counsel Adams had made a statement that he considered him self accused of murder, it had a di rect bearing on his credibility as a witness. Commander Hood, presiding, ruled that Adams did not have to answer tho question." Interview With Mrs. Parker. Mr. Davis questioned the' witness in regard to his interview with Mrs. Parker,, Sutton's sister, soon after Sutton's death. "Did Mrs. Parker ask you at that time to make a statement of the truth of this whole affair?" asked Mr. Davis. The witness said he believed she did. "Did you make such a statement?" "No sir." replied Adams. "Assuming that you did make a statement, did not Mrs. Parker af- TWO CENTS. terward tell you that it was not the iruinY" asked Mr. Davis. Adams said he did not remember maKing such a statement. x nave told you before." he said "that I told Mrs. Parker to look up the records of the. testimony of the nrsi neanng ir sfie wanted to find out anything and furthermore Mrs Parker was willing t talk with the other officers in twos or threes or bunches, but she wanted to see me aione. Mr. Davis read from the assumed interview wjtn jftirs. Parker and ask ea tne witness ir lie rjnembered making the statement.. Adams said he could not remember. The statements Mr. Davis ft-ditori the witness with gave a somewhat different version of the tragedy from iiiai wnien Aaams nas given on the witness stand. At tnis point there was a kri.f conference of all the lawyers, at the "hliudiuii ui which air. jjRvis an nounced he was throueh cross y amining Adams for the jor Leonard asked the witness a number of questions regarding the interview with Mrs. Paler and otho- matters. ine witness caused a burst oi merriment on the part of Mrs. x-arKer, ner mottter and ,,.d wiich ne aeciarea that Colonel Doyen, senior officer, had told him Mrs. Parker was -'a very shrewd looking woman." Lieutenant Adams was excused and' liicuwnara nawara a. osterman call- as tne next witness. LOOK TO BARNES. Governor Tells Lawrence People How to Adjust Insurance Rates. Lawrence, Kan.. July 20. -"What the people of Lawrence want to do," said Governor W. R. Stubbs, "is to get after Mr. Barnes, and have him look into the condition of the insurance rates here." Mr. Stubbs has been down from Topeka since Friday night. Satur day he spent at the lake with his family, on a sort of picnic and now he is resting at. his beautiful home west of town. "I have heard more comDlaint on the insurance rate from Lawrence than any town in the state." said the governor, "and while I have not investigated the matter. I believe much of this complaint is just. What the people here want to do is to get together, get figures from all the merchants along the street and check the matter u to Mr. Barnes. He has full power to lower the rates if he thinks the merchants here have been placed too high. It will entail too much unneces sary work for single individuals to send in complaints; let the merchants organize and have Barnes come down and look the situation over." The governor said he hadn't de cided upon his appointment for pri vate secretary to succeed John Daw son, who was madi attorney for the railroad board. -Tiu. politicians say. however, that Charley Gibbs of this city, who is now Mr. "Stubbs person al secretary, stands the best chance of landing tho position. Gibbs is mighty popular hire and the people of Lawrence would like to see him land the position. The governor is well pleased with the way things are looking over .the state. "The bank security situation is not at all serious, and I d6 not look for any critical conditions to arise." TARIFF TANGLE. Hard Problems Can No Longer Be Put Aside. The Voting Stage Is Certain to Be Reached Soon. ONLY REPUBLICANS. Of the Two Houses Sit in the Conference. Paper and Pulp Fight Promises to Be a Hard One. LELAND BOOSTS BRISTOW But Says He Didn't Go to Washington on Quest of Job. Cyrus Leland. a prince in the royal family of old time Kansas politicians, has returned from a trip to Washing ton with words of praise for the work being 3ona by Senator Bristovv. one ot the big cogs in the sauare deal ma chine. Mr. Leland declares that he did not mention anything about a federal ap pointment for himself while in Wash ington, but the following boost he gives for Bristow would indica.tt; that he had a copper riveted cinch on a nice federal job: "I merely went to Washington to see the boys and have a talk with them ?bout Kantas matters in general.

Pope Rome July' 20. Today was the sixth anniversary of the death of Pope Leo XIII and a funeral mass was read at the Sacred college in the presence of Pope Pius and the high dignitaries o the church. The invited guests includ ed Charles C. Moore, president of the Si.n Francisco Chamber of Commerce, and Mrs. Mcore. Mr. Moore expressed the opinion that the pope should honor the festival to be held at San Francisco in October in honor of the 140th anniversary of the discovery of the Golden Gate by Gaspar de Portola and the rebuilding of the city by ser.ding a message to Arch bishop Ricrdan on the great occasion. Weather Is Hot. This afternoon the sky is clear all over Kansas. All streams are down to their proper level, and it is hot enough for all practical purposes ex cept cooking. The wind is blowing 12 miles an hour from some hot spot in the 6outh, and the forecast is; "Generally fair all over the state, with no particular change in temperature." The hourly readings of the govern ment heat approximator today: 7 o'clock 74!11 o'clock 86 8 o'clock 78il2 o'clock 8 8 9 o'clock 811 1 o'clock 89 10 o'clock 84! 2 o'clock 90 Stage of river, 9.8 normal. Washington, July 20. When the conference committee of the two houses on the taritt bill met today the duty on thorite and Monazite sand received first attention. These arti cles are constituents of gas mantles, and notwithstanding they are stran gers to the lexicography of a large majority of people, the difference be tween the two houses as to the rate of duty has been very sharp. The house imposed a tariff of four cents and in addition inserted a pro vision for a duty of 60 per cent ad valorem on thorium and gas mantlea treated with chemicals. Heretofore the conferees have been putting aside the hard problems after discussing them, but today they started with the intention of settling their disputes insofar as they pos sibly could do so. For a time after the president's activities began, he occupied the center of the stage and attention wa.s naturally concentrated on him. Now that his attitude has been defined, the conferees have begun again to give attention to the problems that pre sent themselves and which the con ferees of the two houses must work out among themselves regardless of the W'hite House. Voting Stage Is Near. No votes have been taken but when business began today it was under stood that stage must soon be reach ed. During the last 10 days of the existence of the conference, many greements have been arrived at, but most of the differences left to be fir ranged are fundamental in character and it is believed can only be settled by the process of the ballot. Only the Republican members of the two houses are sitting and the representatives of each branch vote separately. As there are five senators and six representatives on the con ference, the votes of three senators and four members of the house will be necessary to carry any proposition.. The disposition on the part of the conferees of each house, is to allow the majority to rule, and it is appre hended that there may not be so much difficulty in reaching a conclu sion in either branch as there may be in bringing the two branches to gether. Wood pulp, print paper and lumber to say nothing of hides, iron ore and other so-called raw material are re ceiving the most serious attention from the conferees. The paper and pulp fight bids fair to be especially stubborn, ;rnd probably will be somewhat prolong ed. Much Progress Made Much progress has been made on the cotton schedule, but hosiery and a number of other leading items of cot ton manufacture are causing the tariff arbitrators much concern. The draw back provision is practically the only important administrative feature that remains unsettled. Although the rates of duty have been fixed on practically all of the steel products, there has been a protest against the increased rate on structural steel punched for use. It -was thought that a compromise on lead and its products was in view, but this schedule has also proven diffi cult of adjustment. The duties on zinc in diocks ana pigs which were increased by the senate over the house tes is another matter which is delay ing the settlement of the metal schedule. An agreement as to whether there should be a reciprocity provision for the free entry of agricultural machine ry does not seem to be near at hand and the same may be said with regard houe and senato regarding the rates on window gl&ss, the increased rates on gloves made by tho house bill and the rates on barley and barley malt. On account of the attitude of the senators from California nothing has been dona with the increased duty on lentns. An adjustment of the duty on mineral water and the rates on bottles which affects the former also remains tc-j be agreed to. Getting Together. Washington, July 20. Cabinet day at the White House found the president still busy in consultations with con gress leaders about the tariff bill. Before and after the cabinet meet ing, Mr. Taft had conferences with Senator Crane, Vice President Sher man, who is coming to take a more and active part as a conciliator; Repre sentative Dwight. the party wnip in the house, who reported good progress in lining up. the members to vote f'r the bill, the president wants; Senator Root of New York, Senator Curtis of Kansas, Senator Warren. Senator 'Ala- rich and Speaker Cannon. Senators Aldrich and Crane and tne speaker were the central figures yes terday in a number of conferences and it is known they are working to bring harmony out of the tariff cnaos. There is a strong impression at the White- House that matters are shap ing themselves satisfactorily and that the fight will end within 10 daya -with all the party leaders, including the titular head himself, in a happy frame of mind. WHERE ARE THE VOTES? This Is the Great Question With the Tariff Harmonizers. Washington. July 20. The difficulty experienced by the leaders of the house and the senate in getting suffi cient vote3 to carry through a modi fied form of the resident's free raw material program was augmented today through the development oi serious differences in the conference room over the larga number of important schedules that have not been disposed of by the cinferees. The conference has given its attention almost entirely to the dutia ble list, leaving it to the leaders of both houses and the president to de termine the course of action with re gard to the free raw material contro versy. The conference adjourned until to morrow in order that the conferees might have more time to look into the ouestion involved in the consideration of the schedules '.hat are unsettled. Wide differences of opinion were en countered in today's deliberations and little progress was made. The fact that Chairman Payne v as not at the White House conference which was participa ted in bv Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon this afternoon -was a subject of comment, but it was declared that this emission signified that Mr. Payne was working in thorough accord with tha president and did not need to be call ed in. The progressive Republicans- or tne senate, who have sought for down ward revision throughout- the tariff de liberations were scheduled -to meet in conference today to discuss R plan of action with reference to the conference rtDorlwhen it.is submitted to the sen ate. It is expected they will issue a state ment.

Square Deal. PARS' Completed Washington. July 20. "What shall be done, with the homeless and surplus cats in the District of Columbia?" was the proposition which for a time agi tated tho minds of the legislator of the house during tho consideration of the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. There were many thousands of them and the proposition wa to pay the poundmaster to gather them into his fold. The conclusion was reached th;it nothing could be done just now, so the felines will be permitted to roam at win and continue their midnight con certs undisturbed. The subject was brought up bv Mr. Smith. Michigan, who sent to the dsk and had read a letter from tho publb; educational Association,, making an earnest plea for an appropriation to enable the poundmaatcr to do his duty. Believing in the Justice of the re quest, Mr. Mann, Illinois, declared there ought to be an appropriation to take care of the surplus cats in the house office building. "It Is the same way In the treasury and other build ings." he remarked. "What kinds of cats?" some one in quired. "Tom cats," responded a chorus of voices, which elicited shouts of laugh ter. "It's a slander on the building." commented Mr. Burleson, Texan, potto voce, and another rorar went up. With this remark the discussion aa ended. HE HOLDS TWO JOBS.

Butler, clerk of the United States circuit court in Indiana., and likewise clerk of the United States district court for that state, by a ruling of the comptroller loses in a claim un der which personal compensation would be greater than the compensa tion of two persons separately hold ing the office. "Fees from one court," the comptroller incidentally holds, "cannot be used to defray ex penses of another court." Tho gross fees of tho two court between January 1. and December 1. 1908. aggregated J13.70S. Mr. But ler's Idea, according to the comptrol ler, was to consolidate the gross fep of the circuit and the district courts, of each of which he Is clerk, to de duct therefrom the total expenses of both offices and from the remainder retain his maximum personal com pensation of (3,500 in each of the. courts. The department of Justice disallowed his claim and the comp troller sustained this disallowance. ELEVATOR BURNED. HoIIls Structure Was Wrecked Early in Spring by Cyclone. Hollis, Kan.. July 20. The Buss elevator was destroyed by fire It Is supposed that the fire originated from spontaneous combustion due to damp grain being stored. The elevator was owned by the Buss Grain company of Omaha and had just been rebuilt r ter having been destroyed by the cyclone last spring.

WHERE THEY PLAT TOMORROW Topeka at Lincoln. Wichita at Sioux City, Pueblo at Des Moines. Denver at Omaha. According to reports McMsnus has sidetracked in Kansas City and has not yet joined the Des Moines team. Three guesses as to why he sidetracked him self. With the acquisition of Burdett" Whit" the Wichita team has improved Its infield. White may not be much of a hitter, and probably isn't as be didn't do so much in the Western association last year, but he is a swell little short stop, and is one of the best sacrifice hitters in the west. He is good in neld ing his position, where Anderson was weak. W hite has a good arm. Ander son hadn t. Anderson has been re leased. Hughes has been shifted back to second and the infield of the Izzies is much better that It has been for some time. Sylvester Olson is leading the short stops in the Central association. He is playing with the Waterloo team. Omaha Bee: If Jack Haskell had his eyes in the back of his head be'd be a great umpire. Des Moines News: No greater tribute to the Des Moines ball club and the re epect in which he holds the players could have' been paid by Owner Hig gins than" the simple' fact- that Catcher McManus late' of the Topeka- Oooleysox had been purchased, to finish out the season with Des Moines. McManus is considered one of the best catchers in the national rame when he trains but training seems to be his worst enemy. After he had been given trials with such veterans as Geo. Stallings, iiughey Jennings and Dick Cooley without results. Owner Higgins had confidence enough in the good behavio of his men to pay a good price for Mc Manus and trust to them to keep him playing winning ball. He is expected to report in a few days and it goes without saying that failure to make good in Des Moines will be noDOdj"? fault but his own. The return of Forrester to Topeka indicates partially the long expected collapse of the California State league. The California out laws are declared on good authority to be about all in. Two towns were dropped a few days ago, and the cricuu nas narrowen down to four teams, une conapse or another town will put the league up in the air. Walter Johnson's nativity has finally been learned. According to last week's Sporting Life, Johnson was born in Humboldt, Kansas, in 1888. Had this information been given to tho public sooner, there would have been less surprise at the great career of the Washington star pitcher. Springfield now enjoys a unique dis tinction in the Western association, that of being the only town to be a member of the association since its in ception.

Players are work ing for their releases, trying to get hooked up with other teams before the final explosion comes. Kansas City Journal: What Hol land and Ccf ley accomplish this year will not be their best efforts. They have several years ahead of them in the Western league and they are sim ply building up machines that will, win pennants in the future. They may lose a few players by draft and sale at the end of this year, but not enough to damage their clubs to any great extent. Denver and Omaha scribes may think the Topeka and Wichita clubs are no good, but they' seem to be as good as Denver and Omaha this season, their first in the league and the old members have had years in which to prepare for the race of 1909. The Lincoln Star has at last dis covered that Jack Holland Is a hard loser. Mertens, whom Des Moines secured from Minneapolis, has been sent to the Quincy team in the Central asso ciation. And this is the place where Mertens started. He is known as the traveling ball player in Des Moines. We have another traveling player in Jack Forrester. The owners of the Pueblo team last week had just made up their minds to go to St. Joseph to complete the dickerings for the sale of the club, when a committee of Elks brought around the information that many good subscriptions were being re ceived. Consequently the transfer has been postponed for a little while. There is this to say of Rasty Wright. He is the only player in the league who excels in fielding and bat 2r.

Waggene in celebrating his sixty-second birth day and having as his guests ten thousand children. Before 9 o'clock in the morning Commercial street was lined with town children. Each one was equipped with a noise making in strument and a flag. The arrival the Missouri 'Pacific train from Huron and the Santa Fe from Nortonvill swelled the crowds of boys and girls. but not until the Muscotah special ar rived at the Union depot did Mr. Wag- gener's friends begin to realize the magnitude of the event. Special Trains Bring: Many Children. Fifteen coaches, loaded to the limit, composed the special from Muscotah, Six coaches were set out at Effingham and nine were taken to Muscotah. When the special reached Atchison children were packed in the cars lik sardines. It is estimated that fully 2,000 children came to Atchison on the special.

NEW GET. RICH QtTICK SCHEME. Frenzied Finance Gels a Knock Out Drop In Norton County. Norton, Kan., July 20. Joseph Junette, who farms one of the Job ranches on the Alton bluffs, cays he will quit farming and educate ducks to eat potato bugs. "A dollar a day uck," is his motto. Just now Mr. Junette is enjoying an income of $15 day from fifteen ducks which he has trained to clear potato patches of the little spotted pests. He shut up the ducks in a pen. and fed them on potato bugs exelu- ively, after starving them until they ere glad to get the bug diet. Jun ette tried the first on his own potato patch which comprised several acres. The ducks went through the patch like a neighborhood scandal. After this Junette shut up his brig- de so they would not acquire a taste for other diet, and would be ungry and able to earn the wages the next time out. The ducks are in great demand on the farms in Jun ette's neighborhood. Farmers are glad to pay $1.50 an hour for the services of the brigade. Junette has sight an income of $90 a week from the fifteen ducks already edu cated and thus employed. ing tackle and refreshments as well as bottles in a case. The fish lines were cast, the poles were stuck in the bank and the fish ing begun by silent treatment. The fishers and their company retired to the background with the refresh ments. A number of men, some of whom lived not far from the scene of the camp, went down to break up the proceedings. They had witnessed several similar fishing expeditions, it is said, and had been waiting to swoop down on one. The men in the party were "cap tured" and sentenced to receive a certain number of lashes. One of them protested against the punish ment so vigorously that his fine was doubled. After "justice" had been dealt, the whipping party dispersed with this admonition to the man who had been given a double dose: "If you can't sit down when you go home have your wife call us up. We will explain for you." HORSEWHIPPED THE FISHERS. Irate Neighbors Dealt Summary Pun ishment to Naughty Men. Little River, Kan., July 20.

The "post" in this case was the strong arms of irate persons who held the victims while a whip was applied.

Evidence in a divorce case which will attract widespread attention is being gather ed In this city. The evidence is re plete with sensations. Fred Shrader, a -wealthy man of Cedarvale, Kan., has been sued by his wife for a di vorce. The case was started early in 1907, and in-order to strengthen hs: plea for alimony, Mrs. Shrader de clared that she expected soon to give birth to a child. She contends now that this child, a girl, was born at the Lenox Sanitarium at 1725 "East Douglas avenue, in June, 1908. Mr. Shrader, who is contesting the suit, says that he has not been guilty of non-support, as charged, and sub mits the testimony of a Cedarvale banker who declares that Mrs. Shra der had a checking privilege in hia bank which was good for $20,000 at least. Mr. Shrader also declares, that his wife was not expecting the birth of a child when she brought this suit, and that she has not given birth to a child. He says the girl which his wife claims was born at the Lenox Sanitarium in June, 1908, was not born there, is not the child of him- One of the E,ss emtio. ls of the happy homes of to-day is a vast fund of information as to the best methods of promoting health and happiness ana right living and knowledge of the world's best products.

There won't be much Ifft for the heirs of the $2,- COO.000 Snell estate after the lawyers' bills have been paid. 'A prominent scientist comes to the front with the assertion that science has not met with much success in conquering pain. This has been the experience of almost everyone. It is safe to assume that General Picquart, the French minister of war, was a trifle embarrassed when he was thrown from his horse in the presence of 60,000 soldiers and 500,000 specta tors. Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay and Mrs. O. P. H. Belmont, New York society leaders, are now rivals as head of the American suffragettes. The Chi cago Tribune says:, "The first one in Jfail wins." The state board of education has add ed normal courses to the curriculums of 99 of the high schools. Perhaps con ditions in some of these schools could be improved if a few" of the' abnormal courses were eliminated jfirom them. Now if a state guaranty law could be devised that would apply to the banks of the rivers, there wouldn't be any fussing or fuming as. to the details of its operation. It would hie acclaimed en all sides as one great, trand, good measure. s. .'Navigating the air in aerdplanes ought not to be very popular with amateurs in view of the 'serious accident that happened to one of them id New Tork the other day when l.e attempted to make a -flight in the f&mous Curtiss machine. When the Panama canal is finished some disparager will demand attention by Insisting that the canals on Mars are far superior to it. Nobody will be a,ble to disprove this assertion, but the Bin that makes it won't be able to prove It, either. Here's where a chance for a fine romance was spoiled. A young Chi cssoan saved a girl frjm drowning when a yacht In which they were sail Irtg was capsized in Lake Michigan four miles from shore. But they were already engaged to bo married. Mr. Bryan is surely entitled to all of the consolation he can get out of Ills Idea that a tax on the incomes of corporations and a direct income tax are Democratic propositions. That is w.hat they most certainly are when the w.ord "Democratic" used in character ising them is spelled with a small "d." Present indications are that the state-wide fair to be held in Topeka this fall will be one of the greatest expositions of the kind that has ever been held in Kansas. That these pros pects will be fulfilled almost goes with out saying. The word "failure" is no longer in the vocabulary used by Topekans. Expectations are that the conferees on the tariff bill will conclude their labors during this week. If they only follow the suggestions of President Taft they will do a great work. If they don't well, the voters will use a little more discrimination when they cast their ballots in the congressional con tests of the future. Any number of voters in the city have i.ot yet taken advantage of the oppor tunity to sign the petitions asking for a special election to decide as to whether or not Topeka is to have a commission form of government. Such men and women should discharge their duties to themselves and the public at once by signing these petitions. North Topeka folks showed the fine mettle for which they are so deserved ly famed during the recent days when a- decidedly serious flood situation confronted them. One more heavy rain was all that would have been needed to put the Kaw waters on a rampage. But the North Topekans were not scared for a minute, or, if the- were, they did not show It. They went about their work and, play as usual and displayed a confidence in thei. untried dikes that was quite re markable. It is no wonder that North Topeka Is such a thriving community. It" -could "not well be otherwise with the men and women that go to make- it. SOME RULES FOR SUMMER. Every summer this paper publishes accounts of heat prostrations and ev ery summer every other paper in the country publishes the same sort of accounts. Yet a prominent physician, an eminent specialist in such matters, has Just declared that if we Ameri cans would only use common sense, j the hot weather death lists would diminish at least seventy-five per cent. That is the statement of Dr. Fred eric M. Lawrence. Writing in Hamp ton's Magazine, and using the fearless tone which characterizes that publi cation, he says: The fact is. that nowhere so much as in the ordering of our summer lite are we so little the common-sense people we suppose ourselves to be. At this moment there are hundreds of us who. seemingly .well, will be fore the end of August be dead and buried simply and solely because or our Ignorance and our folly ignor ance whidh ordinary thought should enlighten and folly Which even sor rowing friends should find it hard to pardon. That is a statement which sounds somewhat hard, perhaps even cruel. yet another statement the simple statement of the simple rules to de feat the ills of the summertime will demonstrate its perfect truth. Hera are the rules: Make your work as light as pos sible. Wear only the lightest clothing, and as few garments as the law al lows. Take a cold bath every morning and a tepid one every afternoon. Eat sparingly, principally fresh vegetables, shunning all fats and starchy foods, avoiding the deadly fruit-salad and taking no- fruit which Mas not been either washed or peel ed immediately before it is served. Drink no spirituous liquors. Sleep, if it is possible, at midday; always stay abed eight hours every night and always sleep under a mos quito-netting. Make your vacation absolutely dif ferent from your daily life. WAR OX VICIOUS DRUGS. One of the activities of the federal department of state which should be encouraged in every possible way is iis plan to secure legislation which, if en acted by congress, will place the manu facture and interstate traffic in opium, cocaine and other habit-forming drugs under the inspection, at least, of the bureau of internal revenue. It is right ly believed that from the enforcement of such legislation by the general gov ernment the various states of the union will have available information which will make it easy for them to adminis ter more successfully their laws against the indiscriminate sale and use of sueh drugs. Surely is there a no more nefarious or harmful trade than the traffic in habit-forming drugs. Their users are among the particularly j unfortunate people of the world. Much moral de generacy, crime and the most distress ing sort of poverty 'can be traced to these enemies of mankind. Any and all steps that are possible should be taken by the federal and state governments to place these drugs under the ban. For if they are not easily available to those who are addicted to them, the desires for them will be curbed event ually. There will be those who will dispute this statement. They will contend that once a person has become the victim of a drug-habit, he will always be one, or he will go insane or even die unless ho can get the drugs he desires.' As a matter of fact this not so. The ex perience of jailers will furnish the in formation to the contrary. They wi:l state that the most inveterate drug fiends, after a longer or shorter period of imprisonment when they are de prived of their favorite drugs, lose their cravings for them and are not slow to regain their normal conditions of mind and body. This is not so in all cases but it is the rule. It will be seen, therefore, that if it is made well-nigh impossible for in dividuals to secure such drugs, they will soon become weaned from the habits that are dragging them slowly but surely down to the depths of de pravity and misery. SHOULD NOT PAY ITS WAY. Something of a wail of distress has been going up of late in local police circles because that department stands a poor chance nowadays of "paying its way." In other words, regrets are being indulged in by the head officials in It that it is not near ly as self supporting as it used to be; that the fines which are assessed against and collected from the un fortunates who get within its clutches do not come anywhere near paying the expenses of the depart ment. It is stated that the fines which will be collected during the summer will not pay more than one eighth of the salaries and mis cellaneous expenses of the depart ment. The new prohibitory law is "blamed" for this, because most of the income of the city from police fines in the past has come from drunks. The police have hard work finding any of them since the law went into effect which prohibited druggists, as well as other people, from selling liquor and beer for any purpose whatsoever. Instead of regret over a condition of affairs where a police force does not collect fines to. pay the expenses of its conduct there should be gratification. It is a mistaken idea for any one to think that a police force should be self-sustaining in this manner. In fact, the holding of such opinions by its officials is almost cer tain to work out with Injustice to many persons. In their zeal to gather in a rich harvest of fines the police are apt to make many arrests and prosecutions which are Improper and for which there is no excuse. This has not been done to any noticeable extent in Topeka of late but there is ever a chance for it if police officials hold to the Idea that they should make enough money out of fines to pay a considerable share of the ex penses of their department. The efficiency of a police force is not marked by the number of arrests it makes. Rather Is it the result of a police activity which enforces all of the laws with an energy that keeps places of evil resort out of business so that the possibility of persons violating the laws are reduced to a minimum, and arrests are, therefore, few in number. A police force which works In this wise soon gets a reputa tion for efficiency, and it is recognized first of all by the very persons who are prone to law-breaking. The knowledge that they will be brought up with a sharp turn as soon as they commit an overt act has a deterrent effect upon their inclinations to do wrong. Then, too, the professional criminals of the itinerant type pass by the city which has a police; force with such a reputation. From the excellent conditions pre vailing in Topeka these days it is no more than right to assume .that this city's police force is working along just such lines. Its officials need not worry because it is far from being self-supporting. The taxpayers should not, and probably do not, ex pect that their police force should pay its way through fines. It will be discharging its full duty to the public as long as it preserves the peace in the present adequate fashion whether it takes, in $100 or $1,000 in fines month. And the people of the city are quite willing to foot the bills, They ask for no other returns. One of the summer styles that can be secured cheaply is a coat of tan. Only a little time is needed to make a shattered heart as good as new. Many of the queer things that come to pass are almost in the miracle class. Adam was a lucky man. There were no other men about for Eve to compare him with. m It may not be possible to do every thing with money bOtt the things that cannot be done with it are scarcely worth attention.

The Chautauqua there is held on low ground near the Marais des Cvgnes river,, and is described as romantic spot in the programs. Moreover, it always gave Ottawa a reputation for culture to mention a river with a name no one could pro nounce. The first year the Chau tauqua was held there was a flood, nnd everv vear since there is a flood. The Marais des Cygnes seems to be endowed with almost human .intel ligence and human hatred, for tvioua-h there be drought elsewhere in the land, it regularly climbs its banks when there is a Chautauqua, and hungrily goes out after it. And, when it gathers in the tents, text books, gasoline stoves and essays on The Holy Grail,' tne uncultured por tion of the state applauds.

Oh. for a bride to have a wedding with some feature of originality about it. There- are mighty few people will ing to leave the punishment of a sinner to the Lord.

Though sugar can be extracted from many plants, the world's supply of susar comes at present from only species, sugar cane and sugd.1- Deets. and it comes- about equally from each. The former is grown oniy In tropical or subtropical climates, the latter only in temperate climates. The great bulk of the beet sugar consumed is made in European coun tries, Germany, Russia. Austria-Hungary, and France being the leading producers. But in recent years the young and rapidly growing beet sugar industry in the United States has come into prominence. There are now 64 active beet sugar factories in this country located in 16 different states. Last year the farmers of these states harvested about 365,000 acres of beets, and delivered to the factories 3,415,000 tons of beets. From these nearly 426,000 tons of re fined sugar was made. The United States department of agriculture has just issued its annual report on "Progress of the Beet Sugar Industry in 1908." One marked feature of progress is seen in the improved quality of the beets grown. The entire beet crop for 1908 averaged 15 3-4 per cent of sugar in the beets. The factory pro cesses have also been improved un til the refined sugar produced is about four-fifths of that contained in the beets. One of the instructive features of this report is an account of the use of by products. The beet plup from which the sugar has been extracted is a valuable stock food, and vast quan-j titles of it are fed in the fresh state to cattle and. sheep,; It finds especial favor with dairymeh. A dozen- or more factories have installed plants for drying pulp. With this is mixed molasses, the product being put on the market as "dried-molasses-beet-pulp." The molasses is also exten sively used in the manufacture of alcohol. The prospects for further develop ment of. the industry are reported to be good. Plans are on foot for the building of "several new factories. Garden City Telegram. o SHOT FOR HER RIGHTS. A grouchy Atlanta husband went home one night this week and growled at his wife because his midnight lunch did not suit him. He said she couldn't boil water and made a few more re marks that married women frequently hear from tobacco-scented husbands. The wife became so enraged that she seized a revolver and began to put holes in the unappreciative man so that the food he did not like could run out of his interior. After making four perforations in his hide, she told the neighbors that she had stood his complaints for six months and was getting tired of them. The man will not die, and it is safe to predict that he will never again complain about his victuals. Other women might try this method on their fault-finding husbands. The treatment is a little severe, but it will prove effective. Of course, a delicate woman might not feel able to deliberately wound her husband with a bullet from a pistol. but she could throw fiatirons or stab him with a hatpinand the result prob ably would be the 'same. He certain ly would pause before' he made an other growl about the food set before him at home! It has become evident that the ad vice of "How to Keep a Husband Happy" as printed in the' magazines can not be followed by every woman, because tnis advice is always to the effect that the husband should be properly fed, and every woman can not learn to cook any more than every man can learn to act like a gentleman at all times. The Atlanta woman evi dently could not cook, and as her hus band could not act like a gentleman sne did the Best thing she could to have the matter brought to a definite understanding. From now on he will either eat what his wife cooks or he will hire a chef who can prepare his meals in the way he desires. The problem is solved as far as one family is concerned. Will other women profit by the Atlanta woman's example or will they continue to be made the tar get of sneers and jests by husbands who will eat lunch counter pie and then find fault with home cooking? wicnita ii;agie. FROM OTHER PENS THE FLIRT. The flirt by which is generally meant the feminine inconstant is by no means the cold and heartless being of the novelist's misrepresen tation. Sir Walter Scott knew better when he wrote that woman "in our hours of ease, uncertain, coy and hard to please," is to mankind's- pain and sorrow, veritably "a ministering angel." It is remarkable how often a girl who has had a score of hearts a-flutter, a dozen pale flaxen scalps dangling at her girdle, and who is, therefore, set down by her elders as more effervescent and volatile than perfume, makes one of the most do mesticable of wives and mothers when her time comes to marry. The face once wreathed with light, mock ing laughter becomes beautifully se rious over a cradle; the favor that was once dispersed among any num ber of candidates for her girlish heart and hand becomes a woman's love to be bestowed, for always, upon one man out of the whole wide uni verse. Flirtation, wisely understood, is perhaps the means by which na ture has insured the widest possible range of selection.-and hence in the long run the highest attainable de gree of human happiness. Philadel phia Ledger. DECADENCE OF THE LOBBYIST. The best informed people in Wash ington assert that the lobbyist, In the sense that the term was used a quar ter of a century ago, is practically un known in the capital city today and that the few who hang on, instead of living on the fat of the land, lead a precarious existence. Large interests nowadays affected by legislation use entirely different methods. High priced lawyers and technical experts present their cases to congressional committees and public sentiment, where possible, is brought to bear upon legislators. The man who pays any of the professional lobbyists remaining in Washington for his services is worse than wasting his money. It is true, of course, that legislation ma-e often be improperly influenced, but more often this is done from with in than from without congress. Large interests employing so many men they can make or unmake congressmen or senators find their advocates on the floor with political fortunes as the prize. These and other indirect influ ences have always been exerted, but the most careful observers insist there is less flagrant corruption in public life in Washington than at any time in recent years.

Most of lis are familiar with the ld joke which asserts that the best way to find the winner of a horse race is to cut out a list of the runners, get a pin, shut one's eyes... stab at the names, and put your money on the horse whose name is f'rst Dricked. The native of India has an eauallv amusing method. He wagers his mon ey according to the colors worn by the jockeys and takes no heed of the merits of the horses; or he will back a horse ridden by his favorite Jockey, no matter whether the animal is a rank outsider or not. His ideas of eambline. in fact, are distinctly novel. Some of the more wealthv Indians form rina nr! back every horse in the race, thus gaining the satisfaction of getting a winner ev ery time.- It is really only of late years that the native of India has become a habitual gambler on the turf, and now adays the bulk of the betting at the various racing centers in India is done by natives. Indeed, the authorities are becoming somewhat concerned about the growth of the betting which takes place among Indian natives, it being asserted that as many as 80 lacs of rupees (about $1,500,000) is lost and won in the course of a season. The ignorant masses have not a great deal of actual money to wager, but so badly bitten are many of them with the craze for betting at race meet ings that they will frequently wager what little property they possess on a horse, and if they lose they simply replace their loss by stealing a neigh- bor's goods. The consequence is that when the racing season comes around Jhe police are kept very busy dealing with cases of petit larceny and other crimes involving loss of property. Tid Bits. German Spies in England. The war office has been annoying the well-known and charming English author, Mr. William Le Queux. It seems Mr. Le Queux has written a book called "The Spies of the Kaiser," which was published this week. In this book Mr. Le Queux set forth in melo dramatic form various information that he has collected concerning German spies in England. It is a severe arraignment of the English foreign office. He. shows by several fac-simile documents that there -are somen 6k000 German spies lo cated lrt England; mainly. on the east coast, and that this system of espion age is controlled from a central head in London. Mr. Le Queux does not pretend that the statements in his book are -absolute facts, but they are, however, a re flection on conditions that exist. He has not consented to the sup pression of his book by the war office, and., no. more, would I, because it is a book that would impress nobody ser iously. Just why the war office should take exception to it as an insult to Ger many is rather' incomprehensible. London dispatch to the New York World. Alcohol and Gout. Of all articles of diet those most likely to bring on gout are alcoholic drinks of all kinds, although there are a few that are really compara tively harmless in this respect, such as whisky and light Rhine wines. It may be noted in passing that gout is comparatively uncommon in Scot land and the Rhine provinces, where, respectively whisky and light hocks are popularly consumed in preference to heavy malted liquors. The late Sir Alfred Garrod, who was an ac knowledged authority on gout, very strongly expressed his opinion of the part played by alcoholic drinks in the production of gout in the following terms: "There is no truth in medi cine beter established than .the fact that the use of fermented liquors is the most powerful of all the predis posing causes of gout; nay, so pow erful that it may be a question wheth er gout would ever have been known to mankind had such beverages not been indulged in." London Tele graph. Street Car Don'ts. In close conformity with the sug gestions made recently by the Evening Post, John M. Roach, president of the Chicago Railways Company has drawn up his set of warnings to the street-car-using public. His list reads: Don't cross tracks without looking both ways for approaching cars. Don't get caught in the narrow space between two tracks when cars are passing. Don't fair when leaving a car to look up and down the street for an ap proaching automobile of other vehicle. Don't jump on or off the car while it is in motion. Don't ride on car steps. Don't get off facing rear of the car. Don't cross opposite track after leav ing car without looking for a car or vehicle which may be approaching from another direction. Don't run after a car and jump on it while it is going at full speed. Don't let your children play near street car tracks. In the old days the only appeal to the public which the street car car ried was "Passengers are requested to wait until the car stops before getting on or off." Chicago Evening Post. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. It's mighty easy for a girl to like any sort of man unless her. -mother and father do. When you wake up at daylight and can't get to sleep again, it'a a sign it's a holiday. The most shamelea deception a woman practices is how much more brains she thinks her husband has than she has. The reason a woman starts to run back from the middle of the street crossing when she sees a carriage coming is she can get worse scared that way. What makes a man so lonesome for his wife when the family is away for the summer, la there is nobody to blame because it rains on the day he was going to a baseball game. i THE EVENING STORY With Flying Colors. By Clarice Engle.) A man picked his way slowly along the sun-baked trail that led .westward to Tag-art across the desert, It was high noon and the day had been hot and dry, and the man Was parched with thirst. This did not tend to les sen his ferocious aspect nor to soften the anger that glowed in his eyes. It was all due to his visit that morning to the little ranch a few miles behind, for there he had met with the first failure in his life. He had proposed and been rejected. It was not Bill Waren's nature to be balked by anything. He usually car ried matters his own way and with a high hand, as a result of which he was looked upon as a sort of local "bad man." But this cognomen was applied to him only by people who did not know Bill. In reality no better nor kinder natured man than he ever rode into Taggart. But Sue Patterson was one of those who were not intimately acquainted with Warren, and this assertiveness she looked upon as sorhething evil. Therefore, although otherwise she liked Warren better than any. other of her admirers, she felt that she was acting quite right when she rejected his offer of marriage. All the consolation that she had civ-J en him in answer to his earnest plead ing w;as that she would put him on an inaeiinite pronation and if he came through it with flvine- col ora wnv she would think about it. All of which Warren took too liter ally, -and he thoueht that she had spoken thus only to soften her refusal. e Decame angry at the thought of "She don't care nothin' fer me," he muttered savagely, "an' I know whv. It's all along of that sneakin' coyote, Ralph Henderson. Been to Frisco an' seen a few things an' comes out here to lord it over us. I know the brand. She's plumb loco over the cuss, too, an' he ain't no man. No," he finished spitefully, "he ain't no man." He rode on across the desert in a sort of dulled consciousness, with his hat pulled down over his eyes. At length, toward the middle of the afternoon, he came into the foothills. Before him lay the Tooth of Time, the largest mountain in that vicinity. Beyond it, ten miles to the westward, was Tag gart. This necessitated his taking the trail that wound round the slooe of the mountain. This trail was hardly more than a well-trodden footpath, and was only wide enough to permit a single rider on UDon it. One side of it sloped up at an angle of almost eignty degrees; the other formed the side of a Drecioice that dronned a sheer 200 feet to the sandy, ravine be- iUW. f i As-he -rode over the trail"- lost in thought. Warren was deaf to external sounds. He did not notice the fidgeting oi nis norse nor his frightened whin nies; he had no intimation whatever than any one was aDDroachinar alone tne trail trom tne opposite direction. And yet, not a hundred feet ahead of him, a horse and rider were rounding the curve of .the mountain. Neither noticed the other until they were fifty feet apart. Then, by some strange in tuition both raised their heads. Rec ognition was mutual and instantan eous, for the man ahead of Warren was Ralph Henderson. The faces of both men paled with fear. Not in years had" two men rnet on that narrow trail, and It seemed some -strange intervention, of destiny that it should be Warren And Hender son. While the face of the cattleman grew anxious, that of Henderson be came quickly overshot with a crafty cunning. "Hello!" he drawled pleasantly. "Hello!" muttered AVarren nervous ly. "Well, what are we going to do about it?" the city man continued, "It looks as if you'd have to go back." "Not by a sight!" snapped Warren. "There's no turning about for either of us. We'll have to man age to pass each other. The place seems pretty wide here." "Flip a coih for the inner side," sug gested the other, suddenly reaching a hand into his pocket. "Right," agreed Warren, "but let's have a look at it first." Henderson's face turned scarlet and he stayed his hand. "I declare I'm all out of coin," he rattled sheepishly. "Here's an eagle," replied Warren. with narrowed eyes. Heave her up! Heads I pass on the inside, tails I pass on the outside." v He tossed the coin to Henderson as he spoke, who, pale-faced and hesi tating, fumbled with it a moment and let it fly ui) into the air with a twirl of a veteran trickster. It fell down on the trail at their feet, ringing out clear and cold. Tails!" cried the -city man, over come with excitement. His face re sumed something of its natural color and the old craftiness stole into his eyes. Warren accepted his fate nonchal antly, although he knew that it might mean death for him. There was one thing about it, however, that galled him. He well knew that Henderson was on his wayJo the Patterson ranch and it came to him as a rather bitter thought that he might have to play the martyr and sacrifice his own life in order :that the man could do so. But without a word he pressed his pony's ribs with his heels and rode forward. Henderson had drawn his horse as close as he could against the side of the mountain, but he seemed over taken by fits of nervousness, for the reins shook in his hands and the color came and went in his dark cheeks. The ledge where Warren would have to pass Henderson was somewhat wider than the rest of the trail and he rode forward light-hearted and con fident that he would easily accomplish it. But just as he brushed against the side of Henderson the latter suddenly drove his spurs with great force against his horse's ribs. With a snort of ter ror the animal plunged madly for ward, dislodging the other horse and rider and sending them hurtling down and over the edge of the precipice. Then he went careening down the slope. The breath went out of Warren as soon as he felt himself falling, and un der the sickening- sensation that en sued he lost consciousness. A stinging pain in his leg finally awoke him. Bruised and bleeding, he now sat up and gazed about him. He had landed in the branches of a tree that jutted out from the slope of the mountain. Down below the sand he codld see. Lthe form of his horse, dead as a stone. Tne first thins: warren oia was to swear. Then he looked to his leg. It had been broken just below the knee. As he started to wrap his handkerchief about it he heard a sound from above. Over the rim of the precipice a bushy head was peeriner. "Hello!" it called, "Kin ye manage ef I send down a rope?" Sure." Warren yelled hack. A minute later the end of a lariat came wmrnng nown mrouen snace. Warren caught it. made it fast about his body, ordered the man above to hoist away. A few moments later he crawled up over the ledsre and lay panting for breath at old Jem Patter son s feet. "I seen the hull thinsr. Bill," began the latter as he undid the rope about the man's body. "Henderson win swing for this or I'll shoot him OB sight. I was comin' along a mite be hind him an' I seen him jab the buckskin and then scoot." But Warren was unconscious before the man fin ished speaking, and Patterson lifted him up on his pony after great dif ficulty and started down the trail for home. When Warren next regained con sciousness he was lying on a bed in a dimly lighted room. Soft hands were bandaging his head and soothing words fell from the lips of their own er. Warren opened his eyes and took in the situation at a glance. "Sue," he demanded fiercely, "has that skunk been here?." "Sh," she murmured, touching a finger to his lips. "He has not been here. Evidently he has .skipped the country. Father has told me -all about it the honorable way In which you acted and .Henderson's treachery. You have indeed behaved splendidly." "Sue!" cried the man, eagerly, start ing up. "Be quiet." she admonished, smil ingly. Then she added: "Your pro bation is over and you have come through it nobly." And then Warren claimed his own.

The two boys waived their prelimirmry hearing in the court of Topeka this morning end furnished boncis of J300 for their appearance in the district court in Sep tember. Investigation of tl"e affair lias stamp ed young Carter as the leader of all the boxcar thieving during the winter. It is also suspected by the county at torney that Carter stole beer- from the cars and sold it to residents of North Topeka. The attorney stated today that Gil bert Branner was merely a dupe in the affair and that he might hope to c?ape prosecution. H. A. Biggs, the Union Pacific detec tive, who caught the boys told today of how he did it. "The boys were ac customed to break into a car while the train was switching and make away with the goods within 10 minutes af ter the car arrived and we found it difficult to catch them, at it," he said. "This night I rode in from Lawrence and at the Santa Fe crossing ran ahead and came in on the head end. As the train slowed down I jumped off and hid behind some timbers where the train would stand while the su itch it e was dore. Within five minutes after a strirg c cars had been uncoupled and were being switched, the two boys came around the front End. They car ried a dark lantern and went to work immediaatciy on the door.

WHEELS ARE BLOCKED. The Senate la Powerless to Do Any Business. Washington, July 20. When the sen ate met today Senator Brown, Neb., fccught to have adopted the joint reso lution directing the secretary of state to transmit to the governors of the fcrious states copies of the resolution providing for a. constitutional amend ment authorizing the levying of an in come tax, but ur-ler objection from Senator Kean consideration was port ioned. Mr. Kean raised the point of order that under the agreement to transact no business while the tariff bill was in conference, the resolution could not properly receive attention. Mr. Kean was supported by Senator Smoot, who had no difficulty in forcing the resolution over to another day. During the discussion Mr. Baeon de clared tht if the agreement was to be so strictly interpreted it would b out of the. power of the chair to lay any ordinary communication be fore the senate. Mr. Cummins sought to obtain an order for reprinting a bill in which he was jnterLted. Senator Smoot object ed. "The Utah senator is chairman of the committee, on printing." he said, "we have decided that all these matters shall g to the printing committee be fore being passed on by the senate." Mr. Heyburn saw in this declaration a tendency to encroach on the sacred rights of the senate, which he declared in very solemn tones, should not be permitted. Ther. Mr. Smoot respond ed in mild tones that he had in vie.v no such revolutionary purpose. After it was discovered that the re printing of the bill would only cost an inconsiderable sum, Mr. Smoot with drew bis objection and without trans acting other business of moment, the senate at 12:25 p. m., adjourned until Friday.

Payne Asserts lTis Authority in Con ference Committee. Washington. July 20. It was learned on excellent authority late to day that Representative Payne, chair- man of the house conference commit tee on the tariff bill, had refused to permit any proposition go to a vote and that he had taken the position that he would not sign any report simply because a majority of the house Republican conferees had voted for it. This stand means apparently that a majority of the house members of the conference are antagonistic to Mr. Payne on at least some of the propo sitions before the conference and that he intends to direct the action of the house conferees in favor of the presi dent's program.

Lewis to finance a larger delivery business. Lewis was delivering cream for the Continental creamery when last in the city a month ago. He had a horse, harness and light wagon. He wanted to do more business and wanted a larger wagon, a double harness and two horses. He got the wagon from the Rehkopf Brothers who filed the complaint. They gave him a $120 delivery wagon for his old ope and potes amounting to 80. Then he took his harness to Worley and made a similar deal getting a new harness for his old one and notes. Lastly hetraded horses with the aid of notes and mortgages which completed a nice outfit. That all happened in June. Now Rehkopf Brothers have learned that the wagon was mortgaged to Warner and Potter from whom he had bought it and they had to give it up. The notes are expected to be good but yet they have been defrauded $40. The harness maker has also learned that Lewis had a mortgage on the harness he got and has had to return it to its original owner. Meanwhile Lewis is traveling with his new outfit and four or five persons ar,e after the horse he left behind. COTTON REBOUNDS. All of Yesterday's Loss Is Recovered Today. New York, July 20.

DIDN'T COUNT WOMAN VOTE. For This Reason P. J, Corcoran Claims Slarshalship in Kansas City. Two ouster suits were filed in the supreme court today from Wyandotte county. The Question of whether the female vote of Kansas City was or should have been counted for the can didates for the office of marshal of the city court is involved in this case. P. J. Corcoran1 alleges that his vote in the last election for marshal of the citv court of the Second district total ed" 7,466. of which 4.988 were male votes and 2.478 female votes; that his opponent. William Brown, received 7,080 votes, of which 5,056 were male and 2.024 were female votes. He al leges that the commissioners of Wyan dotte county when they sat as a board of canvassers to. count the vote, failed or refused to count the female vote for either candidate and" on the strength of these returns declared Brown elected to the office. Brown was sworn in as marshal of the citv court and is now exercising his duties in that office. Corcoran prays the supreme court to oust Brown from his oilice.

Given a Light Fine Others Are Acquitted. Dupree Family Troubles Aired Again in Court. A flood of rank air. reeking depravity and degradation pervaded the police court room last evening as the disorderly wo men captured in the raid of the old house at the corner of First and Madison streets were placed on trial. The char of "disorderly" preferred against the wo- ment at first was changed to vagrancy, the. first case of that kind to be brought airainst women Nellie Coffman, a white woman, arrested with Ada Hall and Blanch Kennedy, color ed, gave the court room crowded with peoole interested in other cases cause to shrink In distrust as she sat with arm around her negro pal. Her story was to the effect that she had left her nusDana to drift as she chose and has reached her present state with the disorderly negroes where she was arrested. No law yer defended her and taking the stand In her own behall she turnea in venomous international ouestion. The matt will be referred to the municipal legis lation committee for consideration. The idea is a subject of discussion in Eng land. Canada, Newf-:undT'-.r.d. Aus tralia, France, Germany, Denmark, and Belgium, and'in a number of these countries bills have been -introduced, to put the proposition into operation. The object of the movement Is to adopt standard time an hour or more in advance of the standard time new in vogue, during the five 3unu;itr months, in order to promote a- more extended use and enjoyment of the twilight hour during these months. On the 6th day of May, last, '.he Na tional Daylight association of Cin cinnati was formed. A coinmittee of seven members was sent to Washing ton on May 17th to confer with the president who received the deputation favorably, stating thai he would bring the matter before the cabinet.- In Cincinnati public sentiment so favored the idea that on Jun -t 28, Mr. Michael Mullen presented a bill, "'The Mullen daylight ordinance," to the city council, and the same was passed by unanimous vote. Other cities ure r.ow taking up the proposition. NORTH SIDE NEWS Fred McMasters Returns From Harvest Fields. Employment There.'

Picnics, nowadays," arc a c ;r.siderablo improvement over Ui- old-fashioned day's outing. People have learned something about out-door -life and ow of the most important discoveries is that you don't have to wait for mid summer to picnic. In Kansas there i good picnic weather from early spring until the holidays, if you know where to go and when and how. In the late fall and earlv winter when the coun try roads are at their best, a day-time picnic in the woods is ideal. But at this season the evening picnic is popu lar and the best place to camp is a high wind swept prairie spot, away from wood and water. A little fuel for the camp fire is carried in the automobile, the t"fmos bottles and ice box keeps the eats and drinks fresh and appetiz ing and, although you may have thought, in town, that you could never again eat anything heavier or hotter than a green salad, the long ride, the cool prairie breeze and the novelty of the environments make you fall to your broiled steak or chicken and hot coffee with unwonted zest. The old-fashioned outing was diffei ent. Remember the annual Sunday school picnic? Xobody ever thought of holding it in the early spring before the "Xflies came and while the streams were fresh and clean. They always waited for fly-time and his,h temperature, and always chose a low. dank wood, beside a sluggish, scummy, malarious, creek, in order to have plenty of shade. Instead of starting before the heat of day or waiting for the coot evening, the party congregated at about nine or ten o'clock and rode in big, open wagons two or three miles to The Grove. There was a mixed crowd of women ,ar.d children, the "minister" and theSunday school superintendent, and maybe one or two henpecked hus bands. The lunch baskets, packed the night before, held a conglomerate col lection of dry sandwiches, sloppy potato salad which, when served on the paptr -ptates, revealed a fly or so coyly lurk ing in its mysterious deptns, bilious looking stuffed eggs, soggy pies, crush ed cakes, and exhaustive display of jellies anl pickles, cold fried chicken and baked beans, dried beef, bologna, cottage cheese, '"running" vanila io? cream and luke warm lemonade. There were no facilities for carrying the ice, which always melted and soaked half the lunch baskets and when the news papers and gunny sacks were removed, revealed itself as an infinitesimal frag ment, pitifully insufficient for the thirsty horde to whom it was the one hope of comfort and refreshment. It was too hot to do anything else, so tha thoughts of the party turned to din ner as soon as the picnic grounds wi re reached. A few "born leaders" super Intended the unpacking of the lunch eon, identifying boxes and baskets ai.d sniffing contemptuously at some. "This," they would whisper to one an other, indieatin- a bas.ket brought by gome family who were Not in Our Sei, and suspected of being poor housekeep ers, "we won't open until later," add ing aloud, tactfully, in order not to hurt the feelings of Lhose who had packed it. "We'll save some of the bct for supper." After dinner when liie grown-ups were so groggy from ove.--eatine that they could do nothing but sit around and fight flies, and exchange compliments on their cooking, tna. children Fan awav to play in the creeic Usually a narrow escape from drown ing, a heat prostration; or a b'lken limb relieved the tedium of Uie after noon ana gave tne motners, ornu, cross and tired, an excuse for ordering the wagons for the homeward ride. This was usually about four o'clock, when the sun was stilr high in tiva heavens, but everybody was so glad to have the ordeal almost over tht a spirit of gaiety and good hum r ih;:r scterizeu the preparations. The min ister and the Sunday school superin teraent cracked their mild jokes, at which all the women laughed heartily, as behooves the Faithful, and although nobody was hungry, everybody ate to the point of nausea in order to save "he remnants of the luncheon. T.ie Musket of the poor but respectable oman who was Not In Our Set. honevc, re mained intact. "I'm glad," the born leaders say to each other, aside, "'hat we didn't open the Joneses basket. I noticed they had lemon pie and jeily roll and they'll enjoy it tomorrow. I'v? heard they don't have pie and ca.'e very often at their house." When you go to a picnic in chig ger time it is a good idea to take a baby along: the ehiggers will not molest, the grown-ups "when there is a baby in the crowd.

Co Angell, founded this paper, and for forty years has been its editor. "Animal Sunday" will be a day when once a year at least a sermon will be preached from every pulpit on the duty of mart toward his dumb brothers. Meantime, the S. P. C. A. and the Humane associations ought to work for a law which will make it a fin able offense for any owner of an ani mal to leave it uncared for. To reach the mind and heart of many people it is necessary first to reach their pockets. Every year we remain late at our seashore home, and the beauty of the October days is marred for us by the sight of deserted cats left by summer cottagers, who have adopted a kitten in the early summer, "be cause our children SO love pets," and who have heartlessly gone back to their town houses at the beginning of the school season and left the pet ted animal to become a homeless tramp. It would be tenfold more merciful to take such a pet to the nearest veterinary to be chloroformed. To find a home for a cat or dog is often possible if any one cares enough about the animal to make the effort. Would such people be taught the lawof cause and effect, which is named "Karma:" and learn the fact that as they sow they must reap; and as they jnisuse, illtreat or neg lect any living thing, sd they must suffer from ill use and neglect in later incarnations, it would help along the reform. But while they are waiting for these results, the poQtl cats and dogs are suffering; and all we can do about it is to keep agitating the sub ject, until perhaps between the law, and the clergy, and the newspapers, the day may arrive- when there- is no self-respecting man or woman who will abuse (through commission of cruelty or omission of caret the dnmb creatures given into charge of human beings. Humane education is creeping into the schools: and that will do much toward making children merciful. Tou. who read this article, can do jour part by setting an example of mercy and thoughtfulr.ess toward animals, and in talking it to others. Not only are you helping the ani mals, but you are helping make the human beings of the earth nearer the divine standard. !r The Girls' Guild of the First Meth odist church will have a picnic to morrow at Vinewood.

It was expected, says the article, that the withdrawal of the proposal to refer to The Hague arbitration tribun..: ".he differences between China and J.pan, preceded the adoption of what w i, hoped would be a conciliatory policy by China. But this expectation has not been realized. China now proposes wholly unaccept able terms and refuses to reply to Japan's request for re-consideration. The article concludes: -The Japanese government is exer cising all possible patience but is nol carrying its endurance to the point of sentimentality.

Chicago, July 20. The jury in the Ella Gingles case has returned a ver dict of not guilty and at the same time exonerated Miss Agnes Barrette, whom' Miss Gingles accused of im moral conduct. The charge of which Ella Gingles was acquitted by the jury was that of stealing lace. The verdict in the case was a fit ting climax to the peculiar series of sensations that have followed the little Irish lace maker. This was the form aa read by the clerk: "We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty and we, the jury, further find that the charges made against Miss Agnes Barrette were unfounded and are untrue." The basis of the. defense made by the Gingles girl, whomna on trial for stealing lace from Miss Barrette was that Miss Barrette and others had attacked her and mistreated her in the Wellington hotel :on two oc casions last winter and that the ob ject of these attacks and the animus back of the theft charge was the at tempt to sell her to an unnamed man in French Lick Springs, Ind. The jury reached a verdict after nearly seven hours deliberations. The court room was nearly vacant at the time the jury came in. A few of the women who have stood by the Irish girl since the day her story became public were there. They arose and clapped their hands and screamed when the words "not guilty" were tittered and it was some time before they realized the import of the last half of the verdict. Miss Gingles, who remained the coolest of the lot, walked up to the jurors and shook hands with them. Juror Thomas Mackey, the oldest man on the panel, turned to the girl and said: "Now, be a good girl, Ella. Go back to your home In Ireland and be a good girl." The girl nodded her head and turn ed away. "What are you going to do now?" ehe was asked, as she was leaving the court room. "I am going to tell it to the grand jury," she answered quickly. When ehe was asked what she was going to tell and reminded of the fact that the jury had said it did not believe her story, she appeared a little dis comfited. Before she could talk any more her attorney and the women hurried her away. new concrete brick machine shop, 80 by 150 feet, for the Santa Fe com pany, adjoining the present round house.

He Is Said to Be Out After Scalps of the Insurgents. the SEXLIXG WHEAT FROM FIELDS. Central Kansas Farmers Selling Grain From Machines. Salina, Kan.. July 20. Now-that the weather has cleared up threshing has begim in earnest and new .wheat is coming to the mills and elevators rap idly. A number of the farmers have sold a part or all of their crop o.i speculation at a price of a dollar a bushel or higher and immediate deliv eries are being made. As a rule the crop is turning out much better than was anticipated and there are very few fields which are nit showing an improvement over last year's product, both in "uality and quantity. The grain is testing 60 pounds or more and is as fine a, grade as was ever raised in this comity. Reports from several machines show large yields and there have been sev eral surprises. The T-eatest surprise, however, came Saturday afternoon on the farm of Walter Banker, six miles northwest of the city. A ten-acre field produced 420 bushels, 42 bushels to the acre, which is the largest yield report ed this year and one of the largest in the history of wheat raising in the county. It was soft wheat and a very fine variety. About one-half of a flel-i of 43 aere was threshed Saturday and it is running 38 bushels to the acre. Another field of 77 acres will be neariy as good, and Mr. Banker estimates that he wilt have about 4,500 bushels from the 130 acres. All but the ten acres was hard wheat. Mr. Banker planted late in October and although his fields were slightly damaged temporarily by the drouth in April and May, it came out well vhh t he rains and there was not a bug or a fiy on his farm.

Is it the purpose of the speaker to punish all those Republicans who fought the adoption of the rules at the begin ning of the session through his pow er to name committees of the house. is a question that is being asked in Washington. Current gossip answers affirmatively. It will be answered definitely by Mr. Cannon himself. The speaker has begun the task of building up the house committees and the list will be announced just before adjournment. It is known for a certainty that men high up in the house organiza tion have told the speaker that a se rious blunder will be made if the heads of the insurgents are placed on the block. It has been pointed out to Mr. Cannon that to punish all the in surgents, or even all their leaders, will have the effect of again arousing public opinion on the subject of Can nonism and make martyrs of the in surgents who are looking for another excuse to wage war on the house rules. The speaker has not disclosed what his line of action will be. Two Republican insurgents who held ifhportant chairmanships in the last congress are marked for slaugh ter. One of them is Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, and another is Cooper of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee on insular affairs. What the speaker intends to do in the cases of Murdock of Kansas, Davis of Minnesota, Gardner of Massachu setts and Norris of Nebraska, all of whom fought his program bitterly and all of whom held good assign ments in the last congress, is not known. Most of the insurgents are ignor ant as to their fate in the matter of committee places. This is notably true of Norris, Murdock and Davis. All of them fireeaters and all of them dislike "Uncle Joe" as cordially as he dislikes them. While Speaker Cannon has not made his intentions known, it is the general understanding that the weight ins aispieasure over the fight on Washington, July 20. All of the Republican members of the tariff conference have been invited by President Taft to take dinner with him on Wednesday night at the White House. The invitation did not say whether there was any purpose in the gathering other than sociability, but it is assumed that he expects to be ready to report progress in getting votes for the abolition or reduction of duties on raw materials. Speaker Cannon visited the tariff conference chamber and had a long talk with Senators Aldrich and Crane. When Speaker Cannon left Senator Aldrich's room he said that the con ferees must frame the programme for passing the conference report through the house and senate and the repre sentatives of the two branches would have to assume responsibility for their actions. This remark was understood to signify that a binding rule could not be looked for t& carry an unpopular report through the house. There was no indication of a lack of understand ing between the leaders of the sen ate and house. Senator Aldrich left the office building with Senator Crane for the purpose of considering tne nossibilitv of putting through the senate a conference report providing for free iron ore and free oil and re duced duties on coal, lumber and hides. If the mutterings of dissatisfaction heard about the senate offices may be taken as a criterion the senate lead ers are confronted with no easy task Strancrelv enough many of the pro tests aeainst the free raw material nrnram are coming from the pro eressive Republican faction which fmie-ht hardest for downward revision Many of the progressives come from states interested in cattle raising and they are opposed to free hides or even a reduction in the duty. Other in surgents, notably Senators Bristow nnri Cummins, who are not par ticularly interested in the question of free hides, iron, oil and coai, ex pressed the opinion that the president should bring his influence to Dear in a movement looking to reductions in the duties on wool and woolen goods, cotton goods and other articles which enter into wearing apparei. Senator Borah stated that if the free raw material programme was adopted some of the western senators would be afraid to go home and could not expect to continue representing their states in Washington. He is thoroughly in sympathy with Taft on the downward revision,- but declares that it should not be confined to raw- materials. The Idaho senator is authority for a report that there is in process of organization a' combina tion of senators who will be pledged to defeat the conference report if it should provide for free coal and free hides. These men are not concerned over the proposition to place oil and iron on the free list. of tne rules will be felt only by such men as Fowler, Cooper, Murdock, Norris and Davis, and some entertain the view that the punishment will be limited to the first three named. Gardner of Massachusetts was one of the ringleaders in the fight on rule, hut he has been "good" since then and has been forgiven. "Uncle" Joe's feelings toward in surgents are such that if he followed his impulses they would be assigned to such committees as ventilation and accoustics and the disposition of use less papers in the executive depart ments. Mr. Cannon, it is said, does not recognize any of the insurgents as he passes them by. They have ceased to exist so far as he is con cerned. He is on chummy terms with most of the Democrats and on good relations with all of the regu lars but for insurgent Republicans he has only the glassy eye. There will be many changes at the head of important committees of the house, most of them the result of the retirement from congress of those who served as chairman in the Six tieth congress.

Miss Maud, and Mrs Bent of Emporia, Kan., painfully hurt, are the results of an automobile acci dent last evening when the machine in which the three were riding be-1 came unmauageauie ana piungea over a concrete wall ten feet to the bot tom of Cherry Creek. Mrs. Wratt's shoulder was dislocated and it is feared she sustained internal injuries. WRIGHT FLIES TWICE. Makes an Average of About 41 Miles an Hour. Washington, July 20. Showing more confidence in himself than he hag exhibited before this season, Or ville Wright made two successful flights in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer, Va., last evening. The first flight began shortly after 6:30 p. m. and lasted 25 minutes and 18 seconds, during which time the avia tor circled the parade grounds 2514 times. The second, which continued until darkness prevented Mr. Wright from remaining longer in the air, was for half an hour's duration, and 29 circuits were made. During both of the trials the machine behaved splen didly and indications are that the Wrights soon will have the aeroplane in condition for the official flights. During the 55 minutes the flyer was in the air it covered approximate ly 37 miles. Wilbur Wright declared afterward it had attained a speed of about 41 miles an hour. He said it had reached a height of 150 feet. At the start on both occasions the ma chine rose easily and ascended to a height of a little over one hundred feet, where the aviator kept it on an even keel throughout each flight, ex cept at the turns of the elongated oval, which it tilted slightly to exe cute these evolutions. After making half a dozen circuits of the course Wright on his first flight soared up to a height of a"bout 150 feet, when he directed his course in a larger oval. During tne wnoie time the machine was under perfect control and deviated very little from the fixed course. The second flight began just after 7:30 p. m. It was even more suc cessful than the first. On this trial Mr. Wright directed his course around a larger eclipse. He main tained a higher level with the ma chine than on the previous flight. Almost a dead calm prevailed during the second flight. practice had grown into a fad he said and a very expensive fad. He declar ed that if there had been a competent district attorney or two in the west there would not have been so much stealing of public lands. Fearful that Mr. Heney would get a further allow ance Mr. Fitzgerald offered an amend ment prohibiting it. The Fitzgerald amendment was voted down, as was one prohibiting the payment of any part of the deflciencv appropriation toward the employment of special counsel to assist in extraditing Dela van Smith of the Indianapolis News or Jos. Pulitzer of the New York World in connection with the government s li be! suits growing out of the Panama canal purchase. NEW EVIDENCE FOUND. Bloody Shirtwaist Under th Carpet in Sayler Home. Danville, III., July 20. A special to the Commercial News from Wat zeka today says: Much new evidence in the Sayler Miller murder case has been discov ered. The most sensational evidence yet found is a shirt waist belonging to Mrs. Sayler found in her bedroom and said to have been concealed un der the carpet. The shirt waist con tains marks from a bloody watch chain and the prosecution claims Mrs. Sayler sat on her husband's chest during his dying moments and as soon as she saw the blood she hid the waist. Bloody finger prints were found on the ceiling of the room where the tragedy occurred and the prosecution is of the opinion that while the strug gle was going on between Miller and Sayler, Miller after wounding him self climbed to the piano stool, placed his Injured hand on the low ceiling and fired the remaining shots in his revolver at Sayler. It is said that the only thing found in the sealed packet left by the mur dered banker which bears directly on the tragedy is an intercepted letter from Dr. Miller to Mrs. Sayler. It is said this leter was written in endear ing terms. Sayler's estate is said to be valued at $21,000. His will, which was in the packet, left a substantial sum to Mrs. Sayler, her daughter and to her mother, Mrs. John Grunden. The will was drawn sometime ago, but can not be probated because in form it does not meet the requirements of the Illinois laws. BEGGING FOR HELP. Western Farmers Need 50,000 Bodied Men. Able Washington. July 20. A cry for help to harvest the seascn's bounteous crops comes from the west to officials of the department of commerce and labor, whose functions in part are to find em ployment wherever possible for the thousands of aliens who come into this country. Fifty thousand able bodied men are wanted and badly, too, by the farmers cf the west, according to Representative Stevens of Minnesota, who has been in conference with Assistant Secretary McHarg and other officials of the de partment of commerce and labor. Mr. Stevens says the west is literally begging for help to gather the big wheat and oat crops. He declared that the crop situation all through the west is splendid. While officials here are more than will ing to assist, they are powerless to do very much, because of the almost penni less condition of thousands of aliens who annually reach American shores. Mr. McHarg is heartily in favor of the "timely suggestion" of Commissioner Williams at the Ellis Island immigra tion station, .that auens should at leas possess $23 upon landing to prevent their becoming public charges. He be lieves that the problem of relieving the congested centers of their alien popu lation could be solved; the officials of the country offering to transport them at actual cost to stations where profit able employment could be had. The railroads would, in the end, he de clares profit by so doing becauce they would carry back the product of the aliens' labor. w 'E offer you the fa cilities of a well- managed and a well equipped bank Capital National Bank 635 KANSAS AVENUE J UP AND AWAY.

Taking ad vantage of the present situation de veloped by the tariff, the Democratic congressional committee one year in advance of the usual time for such action, met,, elected officers and map ped out the course it will follow in its fight to capture the house in the next congressional elections. Representa tive James F. Floyd of Missouri was re-elected chairman by the unanimous vote of the 37 members of the com mittee. The other officers chosen were: Representative Lincoln Dixon of In diana, secretary; Representative David E. Finley of South, Carolina, first vice chairman; Representative A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania, second vice chairman, and J. J. Sinnott og Vir ginia, sergeant-at-arms. The plan of campaign was outlined with complete harmony, it was said. Chairman Lloyd took this as an omen of what may be expected in the next campaign. He asserted that informa- lon he has received from all parts or the country indicated that the Demo crats are more hopeful of electing a Democratic, house, than they have been for many years. Mr. Lloyd said that the committee had agreed to "get busy" immediately and that with the appointment of the principal working committee the Democratic end of the next campaign would be fairly under way. The com mittee, he said, would proceed in a businesslike manner and was equipped to give the opposition the most stub born fight in its history.

THOMAS LUMBER CO. for lumber and DEWEY PORTLAND CS- Jias bcn commenced today on the jjENT. Warranted none better. Washington. July 20. That Francis J. Heney, special counsel of the depart ment of justice and also assistant prose cutor in the so-called graft cases in San Francisco, received from this gov ernment last year $23,000 for which he performed no service was the frank ad- ussion of Chairman Tawney of the appropriations committee in the house. How much did Heney receive during the year 1908?" demand Mr. Murphy (Rep.) Missouri, "and what ser vice did he perform?" Mr. Tawney He received $23,000 and performed no services for the govern ment whatsoever during the year. Subsequently Mr. Tawney said: "As a matter of fact Mr. Heney has r ot performed any active service for the last three years. He was appointed November 7, 1903. and his active ser vice continued for about three years and for this he received in all $69,000." He stated however, that Mr. Heney s salary had nothing to do with the $27,- 000 deficiency for the department of justice for which provision is made in the urgent deficiency bill. Mr. Heney, he said, had received in all from the government $69,000. Asked by Mr. Cox (Ind.) if any of this deficiency was due to the prosecution of any trust. Mr. Tawney answering In the affirmative, said that the suit against the tobacco trust had oc-asioned some of it. Mr. Bennett (N. Y.) added that the prosecution of the turpentine trust also was responsible for part of it. Mr. Clark (Mo.) denounced the ap pointment ot incompetent district at torneys necessitating, as he .said, the employment of special counsel. The The executive committee of the Na tional Bankers' Surety company held a meeting in this city today, but only routine business was transacted. While it is likely that the action of the governor in checking up the bankers' controversy to the commis sioner of insurance was likely dis cussed at the meeting the mem bers of the committee were reticent about the matter. President Ames of the company contented himself with saying: "We will make application to Superintendent Barnes for our permit the last of this week and believe he will treat us fairly and -squarely. "We must decline to discuss his probablt. action of restricting our method of doing business through our charter until after he delivers his opinion. I cannot believe that he will take any radical step in this matter. As to what we will do, that will not be de cided until after Mr. Barnes has passed upon our application to do business in this state as a guaranty of deposits company." KILLED BY A SOLDIER.

Later, through an error, he was placed with other prisoner to work on a road way and. escaped. Sims Knocked Out Harris. Memphis, July 20.

In spite of the gaieties which kept the automo bilists of the Glidden tour awake until a late hour, they were up and away from Mankato early today. The path finder car departed before residents were astir, followed shortly afterwards by Frank B. Mower. At 8 o'clock the contesting cars be gan to leave over the last part of the Minnesota trip. They were- escorted several miles on the road to Garden City, by members of the Mankato Au tomobile club. The tourists passed through Garden City, Winnebago, Blue Earth and Elmore, the last Minnesota town, and thence into Iowa, for Fort Dodge, a distance of 136.6 miles. TODAY'S MARKET HEPOKTS. Chicago, July 20. WHEAT For July delivery dropped to a still lower level at me opening or trading toaay, initial quo tations being c below the final figures of the previous session at $1.1S. The fresh decline was due to a continuance of ideal conditions in this country tor the harvest ing: and movement of the new croc The distant deliveries were affected at "the start by the slump in the current month, but soon rallied on covering by shorts, prices advancing about c from the open ing figures. The July delivery, however, after- advancing to $1.18, dropped back again to about the opening level. One ot the leading longs was persistent seller of July all day and the price de clined still further as trading progressed. The bottom was reached at $1.16. De ferred months continued firm the greater part of the day, talk of possible damage by rust in Minnesota helping to strengthen these options. The market closed irreg ular with July off 1 at $1.17.

lifnii Turin nnuiT uuu nitiit ruiui Automobile Owners Hare Age Ss Limit Lowered. Hereafter Sixteen Year Drivers May Be Licensed. FIREBELJL IS SILENT. Will No More R ng Out the Wild Alarm. Melan Bridge Eonds to Fe Toted on August 24. The automobile enthusiasts were out in force at. the meeting of the city council last night, and whilo they were compelled to wait until various and sundry lengthy ordin ances had been read and consider able business of a routine nature transacted, still they left the council chamber with beaming faces. They won their fight and the section of the ordinance which deals with the age limit was changed to read 16 years instead of 18. This means that in the future all youths 16 years or over will be allowed to drive autos provid ed they hold a license to do so. Fra ser. Miller, Drew and Fink voted "No"' orr the proposition. The firebell is doomed to silence. The time honored custom of ringinsf a bell in case of fire which had its origin in the country village to call together the bucket brigade, was in definitely done away with, the reso lution to become effective on the first Vf August. This resolution was hotly ontested there being six for and five against the proposition. Those who fried to kill the resolution were: lloward, Fraser, Lannan, Miller and 4 Tandy, Mr. Howard looked upon the bell in a sentimental fashion assert ing that the people like to hear it ring. Oeneral Hughes immediately retorted, '"I do not think the resolu tion is strong enough. It ought to read that the bell should be taken down and presented to the State His torical society. It points to a country village where the bell Is rung to get the people together. If Mr. Howard in so anxious to hear the bell ring I would suggest that it might be placed over his store where he can ring it every time a fire is reported." Other objections to the ringing of the bell in case of fire which were put for ward were that the jar causes the building to leak, and that the crowds which gather upon the ringing of the bell are- conducive to accidents. Maj or Green has expressed the opinion that when the people begin to notice that the bell does not ring petitions for the restoration of the custom will be circulated as they were about ten years ago when the auditorium was first erected. For the fall three different elec tions are booked. August 24 was the date-set" lastnight forthe election for the issuing $39,000 in bonds for the extension of the Melan arch bridge. The city engineer Is to be -requested to draw' up plans and specifications and with an estimate of the probable cost of erecting a crematory. Coun cilman Fraser proposed the erection of such a plant as at the present time while at night the good people In some of the poorer districts of the city have dropped off into uncon scious bliss, wagons of filth are fre ouently dumped into the adjoining alleys, where on Account of their od or they become a serious menace to the peace and comfort of the citizens until the refuse can be removed. This proposition would necessitate another election to provide .for the issuing of bonds. Then the "'question of the commis sion form of municipal rule will come before the people in the near future, so there will be plenty doing in city politics.

General Hughes contended that such an arrangement might have the tendency to kill all three of the ques tions involved or at least to weaken the cause of one or more of them. His arguments prevailed and only one date was definitely decided upon. The county commissioners tendered a joint proposition for building a bridge across Soldier creek on Cen tral avenue. This was accepted. The steel structure Will be 150 feet in length, and will be built of one of the spans of the old Santa Fe bridge. The commissioners are to build the bridge, while the city is to pay J 2.00 0 towards the cost of contructlon, pave the new bridge with brick, and turn the old one over to the county. The cost of erecting the bridge will be about $6,000. The city clerk was authorized to notify the city railway company that their tracks and pavement thereon on "West Eighth avenue between" Har rison street and Kansas avenue are not "in a safe condition, and that the same must be put in condition at once. The estimated cost of running the police department for the year ending March 31, 1909, was submitted by Chief Eaton. The report shows that a total of $30,277.30 will be -required. Twenty-seven thousand dollars of this amount will- go for salaries, while $1,500 for meals, $23 for policemen's clubs-and $4 for matches, etc. The names of W. G. Tandy, H. B. Howard and Louis E. Fraser were proposed in a communication from Captain C. H.' Titus as members of the board of election commissioners. A communication from the county commissioners asking the city, to im prove the West Sixth avenue macadam to the city limits was received. It was referred "to the committee on streets and walks without discussion. X document was read which would give A. A. Knapp the authority to act in the matter of placing waste paper boxes on the street corners. It was referred to the streets and walks com mittee. This subject came up at the last council meeting. An ordinance combining gas and other plumbing was passed. This or dinance is of a lengthy nature and among other things provides for an inspector of plumbing at $1,200 a year, whose duties shall be to inspect all new plumbing plants which may from time to time be Installed, and to place his approval upon all repairs made In connection with old plumbing. This ordinance has been under considera tion for a matter of a half year or more. Specifications for a 300 square foot bridge to be erected over Ward's creek at Grove avenue were called for from the city engineer. The specifications on which a $1,075 bid was received called for a waterway embracing 600 square feet, but this amount was more than the council cared to expend and a smaller bridge was considered fully adequate. A letter from Frank B. Simms, chairman of the board of county com missioners, asked that the police judge be authorized to parole Frank Ray nor, who was last Friday fined "$100 and "sentenced to 30 days in jail for the sale of liquor, inasmuch as his wife and children are in St. Joseph without support.';. The request was granted. The citv clerk was authorized to call for bids for the printing of a com pilatyn of ordinances which have been adopted since the publication of the last ordinance book. Citv Engineer Rogers submitted the cost of the sidewalks to be construct ed during the present year, by Walter W. Gilmore under his present con tract. The total estimate was $7, 953.52. A WOMAN'S PLUCK. Followed Assailants of Husband Vntil They "Were Captured. New York, July 20. Although Edwin H. Keenan, jr., a prosperous resident of Flushing, L. I., may die in the hos pital as the result of a murderous at tack made on him with a knife, his heroic wife finds some consolation in the fact that one of the prisoners held by the police admits that he wielded the weapon. Keenan and his wife were driving through Flushing last night whan two men on the sidewalk made disparaging remarks concerning Mrs. Keenan Her husband drew up his horse so sudden ly that he was thrown out on to the pavement and it was while lying un conscious that he was attacked. The horse started to run and befora Mrs. Keenan could alight she was a block away. She ran back and her husband's assailants took to their heels. She pursued them through the streets for more than a half mile, cub ing for help and gathering policemen and others as she ran. This determined pursuit resulted In the capture of Paul Debro who admit ted that lie had used a knife on Keenan. When Keenan reached the hospital it was found that his face and neck had been frightfully lacerated and that the loss of blood might cost him his life. SEVEN AUTOISTS HURT. Wife of a Santa Fe Official Among the Injured. San Diego. Cal.. July 20. In an at tempt to get over a railroad crossing ahead of the LaJolla motor train, seven passengers in an automobile were struck by the car and hurled to the ground. All the passengers sus tained injuries, some of which It Is thought will prove fatal. Mrs. I. L. Hibbard, wife of the gen eral superintendent of the Santa Fe coast lines, was possibly fatally in jured internally. Mrs. Eleanor Hud son, mother of Mrs. Hibbard. is also believed to be fatally Injured. AMUSEMENTS. At the Air Dome. The Trousdp.le Bros.

Preparations for paying the last sad rites of respect for Mrs. Margaret Howell Jefferson Davis Hayes, the "Daughter of the Confederacy," whose funeral will be held here tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, is the absorb ing topic of interest in the Pike's Peak region today. Mrs. Hayes held a warm place in the hearts of the resi dents of the region and its visitors. Her spacious home was famous for its hospitality,- both for town folk and those coming here, and her quiet charity made Tier beloved by the poor. The usual festivities at Broadmoor casino last night, where society gath ers Monday evenings during the sum mer months, were largely done away with owing to the comparatively small number of persons in attendance. The customary dance was given, because of. the semi-public character of the resort, but respect for Mrs. Hayes kept the usual following away. A conference is being held this morning betweejn Asa Sutton, business associate and lifelong friend of Mr. Hayes and Mrs. John G. S-hields, a warm friend of Mrs. Hayes, in regard to the funeral arrangements. Definite details have not been arranged, ex cept that the services will be held at the residence tomorrow at 11 a. m.. and will be private, owing to the lack of accommodations for the crowds that woud otherwise, attend. The pallbearers have been selected from among the most intimate friends of the Hayes family here, the funeral to morrow being of purely local charac ter. The bearers include a number of young -friends, selected from the younger set to which the Hayes chil dren belong. Those selected from Mr. and Mrs. Hayes's acquaintances are Irving Howbert, Asa Sutton, A. H. Hunt, H. G. Lunt, Dr. B. P. Anderson, C. C. Hemming, W. K. Jewett. B. C. Allen, H. K. Deverau, C. K.

Edward Rosenfeld, Erin Swen son. E. Pijszell, Edward Potter, Morr ris Davis and Leonard Carpenter. The Rev. Arthur X. Taft, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, and the Rev. Henry Rutgers Remsen, rec tor of Grace Episcopal church, will officiate. The service will be simple and it is probable that there will be no music, except a song by Mrs. John Speed Tucker, a friend of the family. Following the service "the ashes which have been placed in a casket will be taken to Evergreen cemetery here, where they will remain in the public receiving vault until they will be taken to Richmond, Vau, for burial. KAXSAXS WILL VISIT HAWAII. Congressmen Scott, Miller and Iteeder Will Sail August 22. Washington, July 20. "When the announcement comes that the ayes have it and the bill is passed, I shall sing the long meter doxology fervently, provided I have sufficient strength left to sing it that way." observed Repre sentative Victor Murdock today. With other members of congress, the Kan sans are showing the strain of the session and the intense heat of Wash ington. When the tariff bill has been disposed of they will pack up and take the first train out. Three members of the delegation with their wives will go to Hawaii, Miller. Scott and Reeder. They will be members of the congressional par ty that will visit the islands at the in vitation of officials of the Hawaiian government. They will sail from San Francisco August 22, and will return about October 1. The other members of the Kansas delegation expect to re turn to Kansas and remain there through the summer. The Kansas congressmen are all here alone, as the members of their families have re turned home. KANSAS TO GET FIGUREHEADS. "Topeka" and "Kansas'' Emblems Go to Historical Society. Washington.- July 20. By an order to be issued by the secretary of the navy in a few days the Kansas His torical society will secure the figure heads that adorn the bows of the bat tleship. Kansas and the cruiser To peka. Recently Secretary Meyer is sued an order directing that, with one exception, the figureheads of em blematic designs on the bows of all ships of the navy be removed. The exception was the cruiser Olympia, Admirtil Dewey's flagship at the bat tic of Manila bay. Wrhen informed of the order Repre senative Anthony wrote George W. Martin, secretary of the Kansas. His torical society, offering the emblems from the bows of the Kansas and the Topeka for the society's collection. Near .Beer Pays Big Tax. Atlanta. Ga., July 20. The tax on near beer in Georgia has risen to such proportions, $227,000 annually, that it seems to be the prevailing opinion among the legislators that the tax has outgrown its original purpose, which was for the purchase of a farm for state convicts, and should be diverted to the general fund. A bill with this proviso ha been, introduced in the lower house. The state is badly in need of this money to meet current expenses.

The hook worm or "lazy bug" as it has been shown to exist in the southern states, according- to investigation of the phys ical conditions of army recruits, will form an interesting chapter in the forthcoming report of the surgeon general of the army and probably will lead to a widespread effort on the part of the boards of health in the south ern states to eradicate this disease which a few years ago was brought prominently to the attention of the world in connection with 'the Porto Ricans. When the hook worm re ferred to in the medical world as un cinariasis, was declared to be preva lent in Porto Rico, resulting in a ten dency to indolence on the part of the patient, who otherwise appeared in usual health, there was no suggestion that the parasite infected people in the United States. Through the care ful and thorough methods that have been adopted in the United States army, both In the selection of recruits and in the care of men after their en listment, the disease has been shown to exist to a large extent. This investigation has been pro gressing quietly during the last six or seven months, so that when Surgeon General Torney makes up his annual report he will have much data to" prove the prevalence of the hook worm among soldiers enlisted from southern states. These recruits pass ing through the army depot at Fort Slocum, New York, were examined to the number of one hundred and forty, one hundred and nine of them being Infected with the parasite. West Vir ginia. A'irginia. North Carolina, Geor gia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee all supplied recruits that were infect ed. While the hook worm was so largely prevalent, in only two in stances in this series of investigations was the condition sufficiently severe to cause their rejection. After being treated gained ail of the infected soldiers in weight and improved in pnysical condition generally. Following this investigation of re cruits it was discovered that un cinariasis was a common disease throughout the southern states. It is estimated by army surgeons that 50 per cent- of the recruits in the army today from the rural districts of North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, Florida. Mississippi. Alabama and Louisiana will show hook worm infec tion. It has been estimated that the cam paign waged by the armv against the hook worm in Porto Rico resulted in saving of more than five thousand lives annually. USE THE BILL BOARDS. Tammany Hall However- Calls a IIa.lt ou Use of Posters. New York. July 20. The fight be tween conflicting interests over the new building code for New Yok city has reached the hillboard stage. Men identified with the cement industry who assert that the new code gives the hollow tile manufacturers a monpoly of the building business, commissioned a bill posting firm to cover every billboard In New York with a poster depicting Tammany hall, which is credited with being friendly to the hollow tile makers as the cat which has just swallowed the canary. The poster announced the mass meeting which is to be held to night in Cooper union to protest against the building code. When the first poster was put up some one with considerable in fluence interviewed the bill posting firm, and they refused to display any more of the cartoons and now the cementpeople threaten a damage suit. All of the newspapers publish large advertisements announcing the meet ing of protest tonight. The Prudential accounts. State bank savings Washington. July 20. Hereafter there will be no purely ornamental places in the foreign service of the United States Although that cannot be said to be new policy, it is the declared Intention of the present administration, and especial ly of the state department, that there shall be no deviation from it, .The rule will be made to apply not only to the diplomatic service, but to the consular officers of t'no United States from the highest to the lowest. In years past there has been a general complaint that the consular service of the United States was generally inef ficient and of a lower grade than that of many foreign countries having rep resentatives In tha United States, in state department officials themselves In previous years have acknowledged that and although the service has improved of late, it has not made the rapid ad vance that is noticeable in the service of some of our foreign trade competi tors. At present this government has in foreign countries 238 consuls .and con sul generals, with a large number or vice and deputy consuls. tcierKs, inter preters, etc., making a -total of about 1,200, and it Is the expressed determina tion of the present otticials or tne state department to elevate the service in every possible way. A working famili arity with the subjects with which they have to deal Is demanded to a greater extent than ever before. Consular offi cers are expected to keep this govern ment informed of all matters in which manufacturers in this country are in terested. A short time ago general in structions were Jssued reguiring tnem to use the cable freely in communicat ing any important commercial mior- mation, the purpose being to mane im mediately available the information communicated. Another thing the department is very much in earnest in its efforts to secure for every branch of the service vigorous men of capacity, who are willing to work and able to show results, and no effort will be spared to bring about that desired result. The same general policy will also oe mar! to aDD v to the diplcmatic servic n the selection of ambassadors ana ninisters. Great wealth will not be the determining factor, nor will it be re earded as altogether desirable. it is announced that no further ap r ointments of ambassadors will be made vntil congress reassemD.es next j-m mmhsr Tn the meantime the depart ment will make use of every available r rtf inf.irmstinn ln order to Ob tain the r:ght men for a number of embassies which will probably become vacant about that time. Tha Washington Herald says Speaking of the dangers of automo biling in certain parts of the coun try, and particularly in Kansas, Dan iel S. Miller, of Clay Center. Kan, who was seen at the Riggs, said that the most dangerous devices which the auto owners have to contend with are large poles laid across the roads, us ually at a sharp turn, and planks re moved from small bridges or culverts which bring the machines to a sud den halt with a jar that sometimes throws the occupants, out on the road. ivien nave driven over a road in the afternoon," said Mr. Miller, "and returning after nightfall have run in to deep ruts that were not in the road when they passed over it a few- hours before. "They think that the persons who thus tried to wreck their machines saw them pass, and soon after night tall purposely made the ruts to -wreck the machines. In many cases far mers living near the scene of mis haps have refused- to lend assistance to people in disabled autos, even de clining to let out their horses to pull the machines, though asked to name their own price. "The farmers say- that there are two sides to the question. They com plain, that many of the automobile parties visit roadhouses and are in a hilarious mood when they return, making the night hideous with their mirth and the 'honk honk' of their machines. "They say that they work hard during the day, getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning and retiring by 8 o'clock in the evening, and that they have earned a night of quiet and rest. Instead of getting this, they are kept awake if they live near a public road by the ceaseless passing of machines whose occunants seem to have no consideration for anything except ineir own pleasure. The far mers do not admit that they have tried to harass the autoists, but they cio say mat they-have no sympathv with them In -their distress, and if tney get into trouble, they must "get nome as best they can." The senate finallv confirmed the. an polntment of Fred "C. Slater of Topeka aa consul at sarnia. Ontario.
