Five hours after the discovery of the wreck the life savers were still waiting. Meantime a life preserver bearing the name "Arlington, Boston," drifted ashore, evidently cast overboard by one of the sailors either to carry the name of the .stranded vessel to the watchers on the beach or to show the drift of the current. Soon afterward one -of the sailors launched a raft from the vessel, apparently with the Inten tion of bringing a line ashore, but the current carried him further from the shore and away to the westward exposed to seas, which constantly swept the raft.

WHERE THEY PLAT TOMORROW, Minneapolis at Salina. Manhattan at Abilene. Ellsworth at Beloit. Clay Center at Junction Cltv, Now that the Kansas State league is all over, with for a year, the interest in the Central K.-.nsas league will grow. It looks like Salina and Ells worth. That was certainly a great finish for Lyons. A lucky home run won the r-nnant. Hassler pitched a great game end de3ervea to win anyhow. Manasrer Freese of Larned is doing the right thlcs in settling down with the Larned fans. Butch will probably be a candidate for mayor next spring. Tom Hayden is in bad with the Pitts burg fans. Tom has such a poor team that game. have to be transferred to other towns to make expenses, and the fans of Pittsburg are talking about getting out an injunction prohibiting the use of the name Pittsburg to the team. What i3 the Western Associa tion coming to anyhow. Here in Kan sas we have two circuits that are away head of the W. A, As luck would have it. it fell to the lot -of Watson to keep Hutchinson from winning the pennant. Watson will be remembered as a pitcher released earlier in the season by Hutchinson. Cecil Bankboad was once known as the mayor of Argentine. Why not call him th9 mayor of Lyons now. Bartley, who joined Abilene last week, was in Topeka Sunday, and says he won t play in the shortgrass any, more. Quigley ir back in the game with the Salina team.

Now the National commission, will have to iron Ellsworth has secured a new pitcher. Lee, a Fort Leavenworth soldier who has been doing good work in the Kan sas City league.

A new feature is scheduled to take place this afternoon. The double um pire system will be in vogue. Umpire Derrick, who was recently from thu Texas league, will arrive in time to as sist Glenalvin with the work. One will call balls and strikes while the other will make the base decisions. Stevie Ragan is shifted to second base on the Oakland, Cat, team. Tha little physish is putting up a whirlwind game at the keystone station and i3 leading the second Backers of the Pa cific Coast league. Sandy Griswold speaks the follow ing in the Omaha World-Herald:, In the Western ieague the chase Is rapidly dwindling down to an argument be tween Sioux City and Des Moines, with the chances all in favor of the former. Omaha, with the present lineup, hasn't much more than a look-in. It is doubt ful whether the team has been as weak this season. With Davidson weak in middle and Shipke out indefinitely, there isn't a very rosy perspective pre sented to the local enthusiast. And yet, the unexpected may take place, and the team may brace up, even in its present condition, and ni; ke a winning finish of it. Fenlon has gone to join the Louisville team. The hard hitting outfielder car ries with him the best wishes of the Topeka fans, who hope to see him con tinue the hitting stride which made him so popular in Topeka. Cy Landreth, outfielder, is booked to debut for the steenth time this after noon. If Cy can put on- half of the stunts which he formerly displayed he will prove a good drawing card and money getter for D. Gordon Cooley. The Lincoln club must be In hard straits for players. In Sunday's game Thorgy, the club secretary, was forced to participate in the game. Justthink how nice our ownJPeKS1 would look in a baseball suit. The Topeka fans are all glad to see Cecil Bankhead cop that pennant iu the Kansas State league. Cecil never played on the Topeka club, but he was one of the most popular visiting play ers who ever played here in the olden I days. And this Is the club that our own friend Dr. Jason Andrews started just as the warm weather was breaking in. Dr. Jay looks like a winner of an other pennant in the Texas league, and who is there in Topeka that wouldn't like to sea him land the rag. Jay is only twelve points away from first place and will soon be at home for nine games. Cockman has Joined the Lincoln club, and took part In Sunday's game, play ing third base. The former St. Paul utility player made only a fair debut. In Saturday's game Reilly was in clined to throw high. Sunday he threw low. But there is a reason for it. He had played third most of the time this season, and for a month or so he has been on the bench. He is merely un accustomed to the throw. Wait until he gets that whip, gauged. Maybe that Omaha club will get into the running again, but the absence of Shipke isn't going to help the club very much. Then too the team is on the road for sixteen games. But Omaha has about as nice a schedule to finish with as any of the clubs. Doc Miller of Pueblo still continues to lead the Western league sluggers. Dr. Harry Welch, who led last sea son, is away down in the list, being be low the .300 mark. Fisher, tha bast hit ter on the Omahogs up to date, is hit ting seventeenth in "the list of league batters. Jack Holland seems to be about as lucky as any of them when It comes to peddling to the big- leagues. Bren nan was sold for $3,500, while Cole it is reported brings $2,500. This makes a total ,of $6,000 for the Wichita boss. However, many believe the Cole sale a mere cover up, this report receiving credence through the presence of Franii Isbell on the Sox team. There won't be many players sold this season. There will be a few go up, but most of tho3i who do will be players who already be long to the big league teams. Thera are Miller, Lange, Mattick. Bader, Dai ton,. Shipke, Keeley and a number of others. Washburn college for the past two or three years has been a joke in a base ball way, but this institution of learn ing has contributed three men to the majors, which is a Setter record than any school in this section of the coun try can produce. Elmer Stricklett wh.i was for years one of the Superba's mainstays, was a Washburn product. Then there is Art Griggs who played on the Washburn team. Art by the way is improving his batting average, and is hitting at a clip of .295 up to Sunday. In addition to these two Washburn lays claim to Warren Gill who goes to the White Sox next season. Gill was the real shining light in Washburn, ath letics for several years. Cole of Wichita is leading the league in number of hits secured with 129 to his credit. Wichita and Topeka will be back in the "Doc" Shiveiy circuit next season. Not in a hundred years. Cooley and Hol land are in to stay. Give Holland a uowntown pars: and Dick Cooley a chance to get a bit stronger team in the field and they will be there and over next season. Both started to get up their teams after the players over the country had been snapped up. The franchises were awarded to them too late to give them much of a chance to get uiass A teams, But at that they have done mighty well. Red Fisher must be happy. His only dangerous rival in the base stealing de partment. Spencer, formerly of Pueblo, has left for the American association and is out of the running in the West ern league. If Elijah Wooley could hit with Fisher he would have him skinned hands down in running bases, but Wooley can get on as often as the crimson topped one, and consequently doesn't have the chances. Lincoln Star: Des Moines climb froni the second division to the leadership pf the Western league race has been a hard nut for the towns to crack. The real cause for the spurt can be summed up in the one name, "MoManus." The ex-Cooleysox is as good, if not better, than any other backstop in the league today. According to the latest dispatcher, Holleneek, King and Fisher of the Omaha team have been sold to the St. Louis Browns. Fisher is the most like ly looking one of the lot. Hollenbeck, however, has been the mainstay of the club during the past few weeks.

The Capital Building and Loan Ass'n 634 Kn Avenue Sioux City Tribune; Some of tha Omaha Bee: Owner Farrell of the Kansas papers are predicting that 1 New York Americans is the latest ol the big league magnates to confirm the story printed in the Bee early in ttu season of the impending baaeball up heaval. Owner Farrell is buying ail available young players, and guardedly admits he is doing it jn anticipation of. the friction that seems certain whan the American association and Eastern league Invade the pities now occupied by the National and American league:. Ha refers to the fact that Havenor has a site for the American association grounds in Chicago; that efforts are under way to secure a site for the same league in Pittsburg, and that tho Eastern league is very active in ita maneuvers. The reformation of tha baseball map is as certain to come ai the coming of another season. It will be welcome in Omaha for many rea sons, chief of which is that it will put this city in faster company, where ball of a little better grade can be depend ed upon. The. Western league has fur nished a high grade of baseball ever since its birth in 1900, and has been tha wonder of the world in thjs regard. For several seasons it went through with only six clubs, but kept its class A standing unimpaired by reason of the quality of ball it furnished. But thU has been a tremendous strain on tha towns outside of Omaha and Denver, and 'with the recasting of league boun daries, a new playing circuit may be formed which will give to the smaller members of the Western baseball they can afford, and still let Omaha an.l Denver get Into the company of cities of their size, where something in tlio way of profits will be possible for tha owners.

More than a million and a quarter extra dollars went into the pockets of tha farmers for corn this year than they received for the previous year's crop.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JCUR:TAIr-TU5SDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1909. RA1LR0AD NEWS. Harriman Has Secured Option a the Xew York Central. Can Now Realize Bream Ocean to Ocean Service. of BUYS SHARES AT $150. Option CoTers Largre Portion of Yanderbilt Holdings. Other Items of Interast 1 Bailwaj Circles. in New York, Aug. 17. A report that E. H. Harriman has obtained an op tion on a controlling interest in the JCew York Central lines, which if ex ercised will him control of a through route from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean is circulated on the stock ex change. Such a route has been the dream raiiroad men for years. The op tion take n by Harriman Is said to cover about $50,000,000 worth of New York Central stock, a large part of which was formerly controlled by the Van derbilt interests. The price at which the stock may be taken over is said to br- JliO a share. It was pointed out that acquisition of the New York Central would give XT. Harriman an ocean to ocean route by way of New York Central, t-nicagu Northwestern. Illinois Central. Union Pacific and Southern racmc. MELON IS NEARLY RIPE. In the Meantime Union Pacific Stock Is Still Rising. w Vnrlc Aunr. 17. No one knows just what is in the air concerning Union Pacific, notwithstanding the multitude of rumors that have accom panied its advance. Although it is definitely stated by interests close to the company's management that di rectors have under consideration a well defined plan for segregating its assets and that the long-deferred scneme or giving stockholders some sort of addi tional certificates representing the company's laree investment holdings of other securities was about to material ize, there are those who assert that besides this the road's dividend is to be advanced along with that of the Southern Pacific, and others again declare that there are possibilities of a cash bonus as well. This combination of rumors has naturally mystified the general Wall street public, who are not usually treated to so many possibilities in one stock, even thoueh it be a Harriman issue, but a large number have bought the stock on the assumption that with the return of Mr. Harriman an an nouncement of some kind of a "melon cutting" will be made. There is little chance of disappointment, as people in official capacity admit there has been a tentative plan drawn up for the distribution of the investment securi ties, and, although they say nothing on the dividend question, there are those who firmly believe that a hher,rate than the quarterly 2 Vz per cent fixed three years ago this month has already been decided upon by the executive committee, which met early in the week, and that only the postponed di rectors' meeting is awaited to make the information publicly known. The proposition for distributing the Union Pacific company's assets is said to be not only favorable to the common shareholders, but to the preferred as well. cars, which are now in use on the sys tem, will be sent to the scrap heap when the new cars are delivered. Other recent railroad equipment orders are 5,000 steel hopper cars by the Chesa peake and Ohio, in addition to the 1.50 0 already ordered this year; 70 passenger cars by the Baltimore and Ohio; 2 5 passenger locomotives by the Great Northern; 90 cars by the Atch ison, and 50 cars by the Detroit United Railways. HUDSON AND FULTON. New York Is Going to Pay Tribute to Their Memories After Many Years. It has been many years "since New York City opened its numerous gates and invited the peoples of the United States and other countries to come in and celebrate and see the great city at its best. Expositions, convention gatherings and reunions have been more or less spurned and neglected but now the Manhattanites think they have a real reason for fireworks, parades, speeches and illuminations, and are preparing to celebrate the four-hundredth anni versary of the discovery of the Hudson river and to pay tribute to Robert Fulton, whose steamboat was the fore runner of the great shipping now trav ersing the waters of the world. The preparations that are being made and the celebration itself, which will take the days from September 25 to Octo ber 9, will cost millions and New York ers are now asking the other folks to come in and see them do it. The railroads are getting ready for a tremendous travel and issues of at tractive booklets are in press. The Erie has beaten all competitors by getting its own exceedingly attractive issue ready for distribution. The book contains portraits of Henry Hudson and Robert Fulton and briefly outlines the important events in their respective careers. Its pages contain night and day views of New York Citv.

A heavier business than ever has been known in a single year is looked for by Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce commission for American railroads during the present fiscal year. The serious situation anticipated not only by Judge Knapp, hut hv other officials of the com missi nn and bv oiaerating railroad men generally, is that there may be a shortage of cars. The crop pros pects are 'considered so bright as to make it likely that the railroads and other transportation companies may be taxed beyond their capacity to handle the freight that will be offered to them. In the view of Chairman Knapp the carriers are now in better position to carry the freight offered than they were in iu(, ana ne iuu today that it would not surprise him if that year's records were broken this year. Generally It is expeciea now ever, that a shortage of cars will re sult this fall from the increased bus! na f th carriers and some em barrassment may be looked for by shippers as a consequence.

Sends Flowers and Fralt to Woman Who Saved Her. Kansas City, Mo.. Aug. 17. Dear Matron Here is a basket of the nicest peaches I could find. Hope you wiu enjoy tnem. ELLA. This note accompanied a basket of fruit that reached the depot matron, Mrs. Ollie Ever Ingham. It came from, a western Kansas town and back of it lies a little story of a girl saved from the wiles or the city. A year ago "Ella," whose other name Mrs. Everingham has forgotten came to Kansas City from southern Missouri. She was an unsophisticated country girl and she wore a rose on her left side. The matron learned that she was waiting for the man who had promised to marry her, but whom she had never seen. Their acquaintance had been brought about through a matrimonial paper and their courtship was carried on through correspondence. She had a packet of his letters, in which he declared his love for her and in which he said that he had an excellent position with one of the banks. She had her little marriage dot, something like $100, tightly done up in a bit of handkerchief. The man whom she was looking for was also to wear rose. One of the detectives at the depot heard the girl's story and an hour later he caught sight of a man wear ing a rose who was evidently looking for some one. It did not take the de tective long to ascertain that it was the girl's supposed fiance. The stranger discovered that he had been talking with a detective, excused him self and got awav. young woman started towards ner i it was hard to tell "Ella," who home.

The other two men then seized the girl by the arms and started to pull her away to one side or tne road. WelnBberger, helpless to aid his sweet heart, was forced to see her in tne grasp of the wretches who, at the point of their revolvers, warned him to get away as fast as ne could, w ems- berger ran to the home of the girls mother and step-father and told them Lena was in trouble. The step-father, Antone Abama hurried to the place Kansas and live there. Since then Mrs. Everingham has received at various times boxes of flowers and fruit from the grateful girl.

She had been shot in the back by the ruffians, after they had beaten her over the head almost into Insensi bility. The ball, it was found by the surgeon, had entered ner DacK aooui in the center and ran downward. It fractured the spinal column, render ing her a paralytic for life and will likely end with her death in a short time. She was reported resting easy but her life hanging by a single thread. May Be Able to Recognize Assailants. Her story of the affair, as far as can be learned from her, is that she was attacked by the men. one of whom she knows but cannot tell his name, after they had driven her es cort away. She broke away from the one man who was holding her and started to run. She was caught, how ever, before she had run far, and hit over the head with, the butt end of a revolver. The blow landed back of her ear and felled her, but she man aged to get up after a struggle and started to run again, when the shot was fired. The ball struck her in the back and paralyzed her so that she has not been able to move since. WAXTS K. S. A. C. GIRL FOR WIFE Oklahoma Man Thinks a Graduate Will Fill His Requiremenls, Manhattan, Kan., Aug. 17. That the fame of the K. S. A. C. graduates in domestic science is extending beyond the limits of the state was evidenced in a letter received by President Waters from an Oklahoma farmer. In his letter the Oklahoman stated that he was a well-to-do farmer with considerable property. He was a young widower with a child four years old. The conditions were ideal to make the right kind of a woman a most pleasant home should she consent to be his wire. A few of this strange species of worms are beginning to appear on tne Kansas side of the river. These worms are new in this section; at least the Missourians have never no ticed them before.

The apple trees are loaded with fruit, but the apples will never mature if the worms continue to work on that orchard. RACE TRACK FOR HERINGTON. Promoters Claim They Will Have First Class Association. Herdngton, Kan.. Aug. 17. A num ber of local men are interested in a plan to establish a race track asso ciation here. The plan is to buy a piece of land adjoining town and build thereon a race track and the necessary stables, grandstand, etc. In fact, the promoters intend to build in Herington the most extensive and best equipped fair grounds in central Kan sas. The stock is to be sold at $25 per share and those who purchase four shares will own a one-twentieth in terest in the concern. The promoters expect to buy twenty acres of land so holders of four shares will be well protected in their investment in that the one acre of land will belong to them. M. P. STOCK BROUGHT 60 CENTS.

"Gum-shoe Bill" can easily accomplish this by In dulging a. little more freely In Scotch whisky. "Can it-be that Mr. Howe has writ ten a play?" inquires the Chicago Tribune after contemplating a recent aesertion In the Atchison Globe that "the meanest devils In the world are writing the dramatic criticism in New York." It may be interesting to some folks to learn that the disease. pellagra, which has been discovered afnong the Inmates of an Illinois Insane asylum and about which the medical authori ties of the nation are so much con cerned, it is erythematous affection of Uie skin. Fred S. Jackson, the state's attorney general, has delivered an opinion to the effect that druggists in this state cannot act as agents for the sale of beer and liquor. It is rather surpris ing that any such opinion should have been necessary. Stop-over privileges at Topeka are accorded from now on to the many passengers who travel on the railroads lhroueh this city. A new local service with a gasoline-electric motor car has been established by the Santa Fe be tween Emporia and the capital city. Surely, things are beginning to come Topeka's way. The state board of railroad commis sioners is doing a good job In endeav oring to stir up the officials of the rall--ads in Kansas to run their trains oc cording to schedule time. There is nothing quite so disagreeable and un satisfactory as a lack of efficiency on the part of railroads in promptness in the running of their trains. About the only comment that would seem to be pertinent concerning the re cent decision of a New York judge de claring Harry Thaw to be still insane and continuing his incarceration in the Matteawan asylum for the criminal in sane, is that his attorneys at his trial for the murder of Stanford White did just a little too good a job In proving him to be a lunatic. A little more activity on the part of the members of the Topeka police force would appear to be in order. A man was slugged and robbed the other night at the corner of Fifth and Jef ferson streets. There is no more das tardly crime than that of highway robbery. Nor is there any crime that is attempted less in a community which is properly policed. There is this one redeeming feature about the present spell of hot weather. It is great weather for the corn crop. This may not appeal strongly to men who have no corn planted but as a mattpr or faof a. hiiep rrnn of rrtrr will be of more or less benefit to them in a general prosperity in which all people will share in one way or another. Chicago university has just dropped one hundred students from its rolls be cause they have been paying too much attention to social duties and too little to class work. Not so long ago a Har vard professor announced that college students should not spend so much of their time poring over their books but should devote a little more of It flirt ing. In higher education, as in other things, you pay your money and you take your choice. A professor of the Kansas university Is credited with the discovery that when a man tells a die he wiggles his rreat toe. Therefore, as the professor concludes, shoes were given to man to -wLoe&l his thoughts. This Is also an excellent tip to mothers who permit their lads to run barefoot. Instead of looking them in their faces when In quiring concerning their recent where abouts the mothers should keep their eyes fixed on the youngsters' big toes. It may be Interesting to some folks THE WEATHER, Forget it. Don't think about it. Pay absolutely no attention to it. Now Isn't this fine advloa with the mercury hovering In the higher nineties during; the day time in the nmrnmimt thermometers and sev eral degrees higher along the streets and In the houses and workshops, and also breaking a few records by keeping in the eighties during tne hniira of fha ni-ht? It is an excellent exemplification, of the futility of most of the advice which is banaiea edoui In the world. It Is. oh so easy to give it. And it Is just as hard for any one to live up to it. But the only way to battle with the excessive heat is to Ignore it as much as possible. If attention must be paid to the heat, though it should be coupled with the thoughts that it might be worse. In fact, most or tne xopenana of today can remember those nineteen days in the latter part of July and the first part of August In 1901 when the thermometer for each day reg istered over 100 and on one occasion mf im to 106. There may not be much satisfaction in such consolation. But then the thoughts that things in fhm. wuther line miarht be consider ably worse, ought to help out a little bit. rir,o thine- is certain, the weatner, whatever it is. must be borne. with.

Of ficers may raid places under suspicion and destroy all liquors found In them .,t,t waitlne for the courts to con vict the owners of such liquor of vio lating the law and then condemn me liquor, such as Is tne proraaure ii in Kansas. The presence of an inter nal revenue license, whether or not liquor is found on the premises with it, is prima facie evidence of guilt and the proprietors of any place where the license is displayed may be arrested. But that it not all. Sheriffs are specifically directed to discover all persons who secure internal revenue li censes from the federal government, and on the peril of losing their posi tions these officers of the law must clean out the places belonging to such men. Then again, on notice and warrant any place where there is frequent as sembling of men may be raided upon suspicion of being a drinking resort and every corporation of whatever kind must promise, when a charter is issued to it. to refrain from bringing liquors of any kind Into the state and dispensing them or handling them in any way. The violation of this pledge will revoke the license automatically. This provision will place the incor porated social club that wishes to pro vide a place where its members can drink liquor hors de combat. Iu fact, the entire law is the most stringent prohibition measure that has ever passed any legislature and it stands a good chance of going through the senate of Alabama and becoming a law by executive approval. This yould appear to indicate that the pro hibition wave which has been sweeping over the country of late Is gaining strength with each stride it makes. TOPEKA'S GROWTH. It may be getting to be something of an old story to refer in these col umns to the present growth and de velopment of Topeka in all ways. But, after all, it's the old stories that are the best ones. And assuredly none of them can be better or more interesting than the story of the bril liant future prospects of this city, even if the telling of it is done rather poorly. Attention is directed In these chan nels again by the records to date in the office of the fire chief where the building permits are Issued. These show that an unprecedented boom is on. one of the substantial and healthy sort, in the building world in Topeka. There has been nothing like it In the history of the town. Since the first of January to date permits have been Is sued for the erection of new build ings, residences and business 'houses, which will cost, according to the esti mates of their builders, $1,205,452. In the previous history of this city there has never been a year during which period of time more than $1,000,000 has been expended in building construction. With two thirds of the year 1909 not yet passed this record has been exceeded by nearly $250,000. No evidence can be found that there Is to be any diminution of activity In this respect. It is therefore reasonable to assume that by the time the next four and a half months have rolled along, per mits will have been issued for new buildings which will bring the total expenditures for them for the entire year up to more than $1,500,000. There Is no need to dwell at any length on the particularly satisfying conclusions that it is possible to draw from these vigorous statistics of the city's prosperity and growth. Suffice it to say that Topeka Is now rapidly coming into her own. But. at that she is merely developing on a scale that is commensurate with her many and wonderful advantages aa a de sirable place to live and do business in. That she will continue to flourish goes without saying. The fine spirit for progress of her business men and her residents one and all will see to this. Indeed, Topeka's march to supremacy has but just begun and drums to beat a retreat have not been provided for the procession. A couple of years ago there was considerable talk about Topeka and a population of 75,000 by 1911. For some reason or Other it died out. Perhaps this is just as well for work to develop the town has taken the place of the talk about what It ought to be. And while nothing is being said about the population of the future, the steps are being taken by the Commercial club, the Advertising club, the Real Estate Exchange and various other kindred bodies which will make Topeka a city of 75,000 souls before many years have passed away. JAYHAWKER JOTS The theories of turn-about being, fair play and returning good for evil do not jibe very well. Plenty of opportunities arise in the life of everyone that It is not well for him to take advantage of. The heighth of hypocrisy is found in the Insistence of rich folks that they were happier when they were poor. Almost every man dislikes to receive promiscuous advice and that's a suffi cient reason why he should hestitate in giving any. All men may be born free and equal in this land but those conditions do not maintain with them for long, es pecially as regards to the equality end of it. JOURNAL ENTRIES Mrs. Pearl Button, of Sal in a, has filed a suit for divorce. "A suit with only two Buttons Is a novelty, even in Salina," remarks the ever-ready Charlie Blakesley. According to the Kansas City Star the theory is advanced that counter feiters have been circulating bad mon ey in Wellington because good money had become such a drug on the mar ket. "If the gigantic trust which Mr. Pinchot says Is organizing to control the water power will step this way," says the Ottawa Herald, "it can have the Marias des Cygnes and no ques tions asked." For pure, unadulterated elegance in slogans, please mark the suggestion of Paul Lovewell for his recently adopted town of Salina. He calls it: "Mart of the Middle West." That's more than" a Slogan; though. It's a distinguishing de lineator of the multitudinous activ ities of the city that Brother Love well Is helping to make famous. "Because tuberculosis is prevalent at the penitentiary doesn't prove that it is a crime to have it," says the Wichita Beacon. "But a few years hence, it may be so regarded." A young woman recently visited at the home of an Atchison woman who is in deep mourning, according to the Globe. "It is a pity," said her hos tess when helping her guest unpack her trunk, "that I can't give a party for you that you might show these pretty clothes." Then a happy thought struck her. "We will hang your dresses on the clothesline to air," she said, "and all your pretty lingerie can be hung on a line across the front lawn on wash day. Though I am in deep mourning I Do Not Forget What Is Due a Guest." "People who write are usually tire some when they are not writing," opines Walt Mason out of the full ness of his wisdom and he adds: "If you admire a man at long distance because of his writing It Is a good plan to let it go at that and not try to get any closer. This department used to have an admiration, approach ing reverence for a certain humor ist who is now dead and gone, but who was in the front rank in his day. This department had a feverish de sire to meet him, and after a long trip for that purpose, found the idol to be such a compound of conceit and arrogance that it was crucifixion to hear him talk for five minutes." GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. We almost hate to meet a stranger in August; we so hate to shake his hot hand. Incidentally, there are a number of voices that could be revised downward to advantage. Every one discovers some day that when he asks for simple justice, he is asking too much. You women have an idea that we men can't get along unless we have a woman to watch us. You can't work as well in hot weath er, but, if you work as well as you can, you will notice the heat less. We have an Idea that some merchants would complain if they had a week-before-Christmas trade the year round. Talk with any man a few minutes, and he will say something about the manner in which everyone seems to take delight in imposing on him. When you start to repeat something that has been said to you, Temember the persor, who said it is liable to deny it, and as many people will be lieve him as you. Say what you please about enthu blastlc people, we like them. The cold, ciammy people who Intimate that they have always had better than you have, don't please us. And If people are en thusiastic over our new suit, -we don't care whether they are sincere or not. A number of men who had to work out in the sun with the thermometer above 90, dropped their tools the other day, and entered the portals of the Look on the Bright Side of Society. "At least," they said as they came in, "we don't have to wear straight front corsets." The Jolly joker always has ammuni tion. If you ask him If there is any thing new, and he can't reply, "I know it is mighty warm." he can say, "I know it is mighty cold," or "I know it is too wet." or "I know it is too dry." There is no getting away from the jolly joker, in this world: maybe he'll be among the goats in the next, and can't get over where you are, i KANSAS COMMENT GARAGE. The above word has probably caused more trouble to the English speaking race since it was imported from some foreign locality than has any word of similar brevity in a similar length of time. And in view of the fact that the word is coming more and more into use, and seems to have settled down here in the midst of our language with the intention of remaining for a con siderable period, it is imperative that our public schools, high schools and colleges take up the task of educating the rising generation in its correct pronunciation. TJie present generation is probably hopeless. We doubt whether it will ever be possible to sandpaper the edges off from the word as it is now com raotly handed out by some of our most worthy citizens. "Garage" is French. Hence It is safe to assume that it has some soft and alluring pronounciation which the American tongue does not naturally seek. The American makes a lunge at the word, and when It falls from hi3 lips, mangled and mutilated, it has the ac cent on the first Kvllnble. a.nd sounds the way the word "carrage" would sound if the "c" was replaced by a "g." There are various other incorrest ways of pronouncing "garage." You can pick up quite a nice collection with very little study and application. But there is one correct wav of sav ing It. bpeak it as though It were spelled "ga-razh," the accent on the last sylla ble, and both first and second "a" as in "father." Make the finished product rhyme with "mirage," and tha 's it. Salina Journal. STATE HOSPITAL NEEDED. The death of Mrs. Cunningham, the poor colored woman, from tuberculosis, again calls the attention of the county and city officers to the fact that there is no place where indigent tuberculosis ratients can be cared for. This poor woman was deserted by her husband and her former friends and was left to die. But for the kind hearted women of Wichita she might have died without the oars which every human being should have when helpless. She was refused admission at the hospitals be cause these institutions cannot accept tubercular patients for fear that other patients will contract the disease. She cculd not be cared for at the Sedgwick house because that Institution had no means of caring for her. She was then turned over to the care of a woman and the county commissioners wero to pay for the care. But the sick woman begged to be taken from the place be cause she eaid she did not get the care sl?e needed. Kind hearted women then took her in charge and cared for her until shs oied. The case is a pathetic one ani shows that while we boast of civilization we are not prepared to care for our indigent sick, especially those afflicted with tuberculosis. It is certainly time hat a movement lor a state tubercular hospital was started. Other states have such hospi tals. Why decs not Kanras have one? Wichita Eagle. o UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Leavenworth Times. FROM OTHER PENS A "RECALL" MAYOR IN COLO RADO. Colorado Springs has Just held her first election under a new charter. Mayor-elect Henry F. Avery is a Dem ocrat and his majority over his Re publican competitor was over 1,500. Neither Avery nor the man whom he defeated ran as a party man. The charter does not allow that. If Avery's work does not satisfy the men who elected him they can discharge him He Is the first man elected chief mag istrate in a large Colorado town sub ject to the recall. He understands that the people voted for a clean sweep and he says he will see that they get It. "I made my race on a platform of business principles, he says, and I propose to conduct the affairs of the city as I would conduct my own business. If he does this, and Is a good business man, he will probably give satisfaction to his employers. Avery is a municipal ownership man and is not discouraged by the fact that there has been much criticism of the management of the water plant, which is owned by the city. He says that the water power has been going to waste and that there Is no reason why It should not be used In connection with a municipal lighting plant. He will try to see that the city has such a plant. Hartford Courant. PANAMA, THE OBSTREPEROUS INFANT. What a troublesome family of un promising youngsters Uncle Sam has in his nursery!

It is just 80 years since Lamarck was burled In a pauper's grave in Paris, and now time has had its revenge and the great naturalist has his statue In the Jardin des Plantes. It was unveiled on Monday. Lamarck's life was full of trouble. Starting life aa a soldier. he abandoned arms for medicine and science. The emoluments of his first appointment were 40 a year, but in time he became professor of zoology. His theories he was one of the founders of biological evolution drew upon him the violent opposition of the men of science of his day. Cuvier, his chief adversary, ex-officlo, had to deliver his funeral oration be fore the Academy of Sciences, and so virulent was -it that, according to a Paris contemporary, the academy re fused to print it.

Mr. Chat- win, while walking near the cliffs, missed his dog. He eventually saw it on a ledge about 80 feet down the cliffs.

Westmins ter Gazette. j 7 HE EVENING STORY His Daughter's Story. By Donald Allen. The "Bounder Magazine" was offer ing a $500 prize for the best love story, and when Col. Sears, retired, happened to see the announcement at the village reading room he started right home to tell his daughter Phyl lis. On the way he decided that her story should be a pathetic one. He so decided because he felt pathetic most of the time himself over being retired, ever his half pay, and over the fact that the army was going to the dogs without him. Phyllis Sears was good looking and she was smart. She had written and torn up two pieces of poetry; she had written and read numerous school compositions; she had written one essay on the subject of intemperance. Miss Phyllis fully realized that she was literary, but she would not have pursued the line except for the en thusiasm and encouragement of her father. She continued to be good looking and smart and literary to please him. The mother doted on the girl, but stood neutral In details. The story was begun next day, and as fast as a page was written it was submitted to the father. He weighed every sentence. Once the tears were started from the eyes' of the reader he insisted that there should be no respite. When the story had reached five pages the colonel wrote a letter to the editor of the "Bounder." He gave his war record in full, and stated that his only daughter was writing a story to be submitted in the contest. Thus far, his word for it, it had proven a trem endous literary effort fully equal to Ouida's best, and he could guarantee that the last half would be greater yet. He had cried over it, and the editor, the editor's wife and the press men, compositors and all others con nected with the office would doubt less do the same. By and by two or three things be gan to dawn on Phyllis She found it difficult to-keep up the tears. The story had gone all right to a certain point and then stuck. She was puz zled as to the end of It. She began to doubt and distrust her talent, and finally ventured to say so to her fath er. "Not take the prize!" the colonel exclaimed. "Why. girl, what has come over you? First, you are the daughter of a- colonel who served his country for thirty years; next, you are good looking and smart; thirdly, vour storv is the only one to touch the editor's heart. Egad, if it doesn't I'll go down to the city and call him a ruf fan! You'll win that prize in a canter." "But If I should fail after all?" she asked. "But vou can't." "And yet I may. You see. you have told most everybody, and if I don't take the prize I shall feel terribly hu miliated. I shall want to go away for a year." "Look here, daughter," said the col onel after a moment's thought, "I'll make you a promise. If you don't take that prize I promise to find a husband for you within a year. What do you say to that? You are sure of the prize, however, and will have to live and die an old maid. And that evening as the colonel smoked his cigar on the veranda with a friend he whispered m conriaence: "Not a word- to a living soul not a word! There'll be ten thousand stories sent in, but Phyllis's will take the cake. Bound to, sir bound to. She's smart, and then she's the daughter of an old soldier. The first page made me hitch around on my chair and the second brought tears to my eyes It will be a story to set thousands weeping." The storv was finished at last, read and reread, and then sent off. With It went another confidential letter from the colonel. He pointed out its many strone noints to save the editor time. and he assured him that at least forty friends of his had uronounced it a crpm and wanted ten copies of the issue in which it was printed. He also referred aerain to his war record. There was a month of waiting. Dur ing this time the colonel never lait ered. When Phyllis became despond ent and discouraged he patted her on the head and replied: "Why, the editor must have time to recover from his emotions after read ing your story. Bound to win bound to. Thirty years In the service of my country, and this is the first story my daughter has written. You may receive a five hundred dollar check at any moment. If it had been a common story something to laugh at a balderdash love story but it was pathos, you see. Egad, but think of your old father weeping over a story!" One day the pathetic manuscript was returned, and enclosed with it was a notice that such and such a story had won the prize. The colonel came home with the letter in his hand. f'But I was afraid it might fail,' said Phyllis as she took it and went away to weep over it and wonder what everybody would say. The colonel stalked into the library and sat down and wrote the editor a letter and told him that he was a man without sentiment a numskull a border ruffian and many other things, and wound up with a lament that the days of the duello had passed away. That relieved him somewhat. Ten days had passed and tne ntue family was sitting on the veranda one afternoon when a gentlemanly looking man of thirty descended from an auto and introduced himseir. Mis card showed that he was the editor of the "Bounder." Phyllis lushed and her father arose to begin an oration. It was to be a scorcher, but before ne had eot out a word the caller an nounced that he had come down to make an explanation. He was per fectly at ease, and his manner was frank. In the first place, the pathetic story had exceeded the limit set by over a thousand words; the circular had snecified American stories, and this was laid in London. Phyllis had to acknowledge that she had been care less and the colonel that he had not read the circular at all. Then the editor good-naturedly pointed out the absence of any plot and other things open to criticism. When he had fin ished the colonel didn't know whether to ask him to take a glass of wine or to order him off the premises. It was the daughter who settled that question, however. She frankly acknowledged her literary errors. Af ter that there was a friendly talk on literary matters, and for an hour after the caller's departure the old warrior sat buried In a sort of reverie. When the daughter at last aroused him he said: "Phyl, I made you a promise, you remember." "Did you?" she Innocently asked, though blushing at the same time., "And I guess I've round him. Let me say that I'm not going to butt in and tangle things up any more. I'm not literary and I'm going to drop pathos. I'm simply military, and I'm going to stick to that. Go ahead and paddle your own canoe after this." And if the colonel had not been a wise father his son-in-law might not be sharing the house with him and his good wife today, and that son-in-law might not be the editor of the "Bounder."

It is quite possible for a fellow to be a beat without being a vegetarian. If there really was a fool killer the world would soon become depopulated. Never say "What's up?" to a man when you see him coming out of pawn shop. Many a girl is unemotional simply because she realizes that crying make her nose red. Many a man who tries to stand on his dignity merely succeeds in putting his foot in it. It would take more than a musto teacher to cultivate the voice of con science in some people. s There would be more honest people in the world if it wasn't so easy to part a fool and his money. Blobbs "The average woman Is tick led with a feather." Slobbs "Yes, but it must be an ostrich feather." Nell "Maude says she always make it a point to tell the truth." Belle "How unpopular she must be." Hoax "What is his business Joax "He is a man of many parts." Hoax "How so?" Joax "He's a dealer In combs and brushes." REIT.ECTIOXS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. A dull biade makes the ugliest cut. ana u. eiow me tuo HicK.uest tun. Next to having a rich relative, a man is proudest of knowing a big politician of bad reputation. If a man can't sing very much differ- lently from the way a dog barks, he will li.sist on joining in the chorus. The reason a girl can marry a man too e'.d for her is she could Just as easily marry one too young for her. A woman's idea of a waitress she couldn't spare is one who gets her all the gossip about the neighbors from their servant.

Manufacturers Plan to Broker Output From Kansas City. Coffeyville, Kan., Aug. 17. Window glass manufacturers of Kansas are considering the proposition of estab lishing brokerage houses in Kansas City for the purpose of handling the total output of the Kansas field on a commission basis. The question was discussed at a meeting in the Mecca hotel. It is thought that the proposition will be carried through at a meeting of the operators in Coffeyville next week. It was reported that the Fredonia fac tories would open August 25. The Coffeyville factories will not open until the latter part of October according to present plans. Nine factories were represented at the meeting. A new wage scale was announced, consisting of an 8 per cent advance for single workers and 12 per cent for double workers. ler McCormick. draws on her experi ence with her offspring, children whom the oil king adores, for material for an article in the forthcoming Issue of the Delineator. In discussing "What My Children Mean to Me" she makes her debut as an author. Mrs. McCormick finds that mother hood means "the fullness of living," and trings to every woman the opportunity to be "a queen." Far from hamper ing or restricting the activities of clever women, children lead to a high er purpose and a broader usefulness in life. Mrs. McCormick asserts. "In the capacity of mother," she writes, "the woman of beauty, of tal ent. of charm, of executive ability, of strong conviction, of artistic tempera ment, of high iaeals. of broad Intelli gence, of commanding presence, of warm sympathy, of keen perception, of deep feeling, of noble ambitions, of love of humanity, finds her greatest glory. A "Wonderful Xew World." It is only after we ourselves have felt, have suffered, or have enjoyed, that we can say, 'I know.' Why then should we not welcome the unfolding (of the wonderful new world that comes to us after marriage and receive the fulness of the Creator's great gift?" Of the happiness of motherhood Mrs. McCormick says: "When we waken to the realization that the baby in our arms is our own, that we have the right, the privilege, the honor to be called mother, we find that something Dew is within us, a love different from any we have experienced before a pride, a Jealous care, a great, overwhelming Joy. "A little soul is loaned to us to love and care for. What great confidence God has put in our love and our wis dom to make us such a gift! "The child who today lies in our arms, entirely helpless and dependent, is going to grow and develop. We must hen bestir ourselves. Are we going to be prepared to meet each phase of de velopment wisely and cap"ably? Is the unfolding of this spirit going to be met by an intelligent, loving mind, ready to grasp, to guide, to advise? If this is so, how wonderful 'is each moment of every day!" "Sacrifices' Are Joys. Of the often-mentioned "sacrifices In a mother's life" Mrs. McCormick writes "May I ask what sacrifice is? Is do ing what love prompts us to do ever a hardship or a deprivation? Are not the noblest deeds of life the deeds trompted by love? In our married life 11 is love which paves each day's path with roses, wiiich makes the thorns in the way not less pointed but hurtless.

Mem bers of the American club of the City of Mexico, are forming a military company which will tender its services to the Mexican government for the protection of American residents if any necessity arises, according to W. G. Parrier. who is in New Orleans enroute east. Washington, Aug. 17. If Acting Sec retary Winthrop of the navy approves the findings, the verdict of the court of inquiry into the cause of the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, Jr., of the Marine corpu at Annapolis, on Oc tober 13. 1907. will be made public to- cay. The findings of the court have been reviewed by Captain Edward H. Campbell, the Judge advocate general of the navy as required by law and they together with hisvecommendations, will be submitted to Mr. Winthrop. It took the Judge advocate general oniy a bntf time to go over the court's work and the fact that he is ready to make a report leads to the inference that ho has few if any observations tc make on the- subject matter con tained in the board's conclusions.

ROMANCE IS SHATTERED Beatrice Mayer Will Be Sent Bark to Husband In Old World. New York, Aug. 17. The immigration officials have shattered the romance of 19-year-old Beatrice Mayer who left her husband of a few months and elop ed to this country with her first sweet heart, Adolph Grohman, a youth of 23. The young couple who have a plentiful supply of money and whose refinement apparently verifies their claim of kin ship wltn prominent families at Prague, arrived here on a steamship Sunday. Mrs. Mayer was accompanied by her maid and all of them had first cabin passage. They would not have been disturbed in their desire to land had rot a cablegram preceded their arrival. It was from Mrs. Mayer's husband and csked that they be detained. A spec ial board of inquiry has decided that the man and Mrs. Mayer and her maid must be deported. Before the board, Mrs. Mayer made an impassioned plea to be allowed to land. "Adolph was my school companion and we have loved each other for years," she said. "We wanted to marry. but my folks objected. They wanted me to marry a banker. I resisted as long as I could, but In the end they forced me into this objectionable mar rage. I never loved my husband, but I do love Adolph. After four months of marital trouble. I decided that ths only way to avoid a life of trouble and unnappiness was to run away wltn Adolph."

CITY IS PROGRESSIVE Main Street There Wider Than Kansas Avenue. Trip Home Was Made. Amid Beautiful Scenery. W. M. Van Ness returned yester day from Salt Lake City. Utah. He made the trip there with the Modoc club during the G. A. R. encamp ment at that city. He gives an in teresting account of his visit in the Mormon city and of his trip home. "Lately the city council has been controlled by gentiles and the place is undergoing a boom now," said Mr. Van Ness. "However, as long as the Mormons were at the head the city was not very progressive. A mer chant told me that a Mormon said in council that the paving was expen sive and that the Gentiles could walk in the mud as well as the Mormons could. "Now the streets are paved with asphalt. The main street is said to be the broadest street in the world, four feet wider from curb to curb than Kansas avenue, but as the side walks are narrower there than here there is a greater distance between the building line on Kansas avenue than there Is in on the Salt Lake street. "I was the only one of the Modocs who attended the concert at the Mor mom tabernacle Thursday, but I felt repaid. I heard a chorus of one hun dred voices and the pipe organ music I never heard any thing like it. A musician is paid a good salary by the church to devote his entire time to the organ music and drilling the choir. "From this organization one hun dred voices have been selected to tour the northwestern states. The funds for the trip are being raised by these concerts. "The trip home was as enjoyable as the visit in the city. We started on Friday, the thirteenth, with eleven coaches and two engines thus making thirteen cars, but this thirteen com bination didn't bring us bad luck. "All day Sunday we were in the finest of scenery. We traveled on the Denver Rio Grande part of the time. It was wonderful. Just before we reached the famous Royal Gorge a sightseeing, or open car, was at tached to thetrain. We took our seats there. The car is like a flat car with leats running cross wise but no top. Thus our view was unobstructed. "What sights met our eyes. We would look up along the sides of can yons so tall that they seemed to come together at the sky line, while far be low us tumbled the waters of the Rio Grande over gigantic boulders. And the colors in the canyons walls. There were strata of red gleaming in the light like waving banners of crim son, and enhanced by streaks of emerald which melted itno a turquoise blue until our eyes were overwhelmed with the beauty. Then we would glance further up the mountain side and perhaps see a ledge which over hung the track, and far out on the sides of the ledge a tiny pine tree would struggle for existence. "Further still we would gaze until we grew dizzy with the contemplation of the majestic heights and then gleaming like silver we would see the snow-caps on the peaks of the moun tains. "Meanwhile the-train rushed on most of the way was down grade. Suddenly our view would be shut oil and we would be plunged into semi darkness as the train entered a tun lew. The only daylight would come through the tunnel's end, in hazy reddish hues. "The trip is worth the time and money." The following officers of the Y. P. A. and W. M. S. were elected for the ensuing year Monday afternoon at Garfield park where the organization closed its eighteenth annual assembly yesterday. President, M. F. Gable of Holton, Kan.; vice president, Rev. B. Barthel, St. Joseph. Mo.; secretary, Rev. E. S. Evans of Washington, Kan.; corresponding secretary, J. A. Werner; missionary secretary, Miss Ida Weide of Yates Center, Kan.; treasurer. Otto Hanne of St. Joseph, Mo., and Junior superintendent, Mrs. Frank Seidel of Kansas City, Mo. The additional mem bers elected to the executive committee are: A. E. Butler of Kansas City, Mo., and Rev. C. E. Petticord of Lost Springs, Kan. The officers of the Woman's Missionary society elected are as follows: President, Mrs. W. F. Schuerman of Abilene, Kan.; vice president, Mrs. W. C. Johnson of Hia watha, Kan. recording secretary, Miss Lillie Wenger of Emporia, Kan.; cor responding secretary, Mrs. M. F. Gable of Holton, Kan., and treasurer, Mrs. Otto Hanne of St. Joseph, Mo. Some of the results for the year's work, according to the reports of lo cal societies, are as follows: The membership of the society now numbers 2,356, an increase of over 200 within the last year. The society has raised $3,025 and the W. M. S., $4,030, a total of over $7,000. The North siders watch the break ing up of the camp of the society with much regret. However it is the gen eral wish that the organization will not fail to camp in the park again next year. This sentiment grows out of the ex cellent character of the average mem ber of the organization which has been shown during last week. Of this or ganization, both young and old, have been models of behaviour and conduct according to general opinion by those who have observed them. "I never saw a nicer or better be haved crowd of young people," said L. C. Betz of 118 Holman street this morning. "They have made no dis turbance whatever but have attended strictly to their own business. I have not seen any of them gadding about on the streets or making a show of themselves. Young and old seemed to know that they were here for a relig ious meeting as well as to obtain in struction along lines of missionary and church work. "Altogether the Y. P. A. is an organization that any city would be proud to have and I as well as all I have talked with hope that they will meet at the park again next year." Community Comment. "The honk of the autos as they go up and down Kansas avenue keeD me awake at night and remind me of the steamboat whistles on the Mississippi river," said a Kansas avenue man this morning. "What has become of the boy who used to go around with a chip on his shoulder?" enquires a Van Buren street man. A North side man who attended the band concert at the city park yester day evening makes the following ob servations: "I was one of the 'sooners,' that is I went long before the band and the crowd arrived. Only a few were there, mostly elderly people. "Just before the band arrived, a little colored boy strolled by or rather strutted. He had on a brilliant red shirt which overhung his time worn pants. These we resupported by the requisite one suspender. However he was vigorously chewing an ice cream cone and seemed to think he was in a paradise. "When others began to arrive the benches filled up rapidly. A peculiar thing was that men hunted the seats more than the girls. The latter pre ferred to walk. Perhaps they wished to show off their clothes. Pink seemed to be the prevailing color worn by young girls with a sprinkling of white and blue. "At these concerts girls generally go in pairs and delight in making a circle of the park time after time. I noted that one fair pair walked the circular promenade at least ten times. "Others sat down on the grass. The north side of the park seems to be the favorite resting place. There you could see bunches of two or four or perhaps a grouD squatted on the ground In un conventional but comfortable positions. Spooning ran riot among them with out the least embarrassment."

One can hardly realize the magni tude of the work which the city is do ing in the way of improving the streets until he has actually made the rounds.

With good crops there should be record attendances at the educational institutions of the state. Both at Washburn college and K. U. the early inquiry in regard to courses has .been greater than usual. Dr. C. H.

The loop extends around the block between Sixth and Seventh and Kansas avenue and Quincy. Much time is saved by not having to turn around on the Sixth avenue wye, and much of the former congestion is avoided. The lawns this summer have pre sented an unusually fresh appearance but the recent hot weather is begin ning to tell. A number of people who have heretofore neglected to cut their grass have Just done so only to find that the sun has baked the stubble to a rich brown hue. More "scare" stories are coming in from the southwestern portion of the state in regard to hot winds and dam age to the corn crop. All such re ports should be taken with a grain of salt, but the fact remains that a drenching rain would be much appre ciated by the farmers. The work on Kansas avenue from Seventeenth street to the Shunganunga bridge in raising the grade and beyond the bridge to Twenty-first street in cut ting down the grade preparatory to paving is progressing apace.

The use of Skene's Park for Sunday baseball games was forbidden by the city administration last spring through the influence of one of the councilmen.

The new motor car on the Santa Fe between here and Emporia was de cidedly popular among the out-of-town shoppers on the return trip late yesterday afternoon. Th car was crowded and standing room was at a I premium. There doesn't seem to be much doubt but the service will be come a permanent affair. This weather is hard on the street force but actually the men have not suffered as intensely with the heat as they did about three weeks ago when there was more humidity. At that time there were four prostrations in a single day. Yesterday aside from one man's feeling a bit "queer" for a few minutes there were no particularly 111 effects noted.

The people of Topeka have gone ice cream mad, and owing to the limited amount of available milk and cream the demand cannot be supplied. Some of the factories during the past day or two refuse as many orders as they have been able to fill. One factory is putting out 200 gallons of ice cream and ices a day, 6 tons of ice being re quired to freeze this amount of heat reducer. The contractors working in the neighborhood of Seventeenth and Lin coln streets on sewer No. 30 continue to violate a city ordinance by failing to use precaution while blasting. Yester day at noon stones were hurled to a distance of several hundred yards. If the contractors continue to disregard the ordinance which requires them to use sufficient protection to prevent a shower of stones thev are likely to have to give the reason why in the police court. OMLAUD 60SS! PAROLE OF LIFE PRISONERS. Discussed In a Report to the American Prison Congress. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 17. "If a life prisoner has worn the band of bond age long enough to satisfy the reason able demands of Justice and to exhaust the deterrent effects of punishment, and if he is safe to be at large, he can be put to better use in the world than to be kept within grim walls until the undertaker is called to rattle his bones over the stones," said Thomas Dudley Wells, of Hartford. Conn., chairman of the committee on parole of life prisoners, in a report to the convention of the American Prison association today. "The wisdom of extending tne pa role system to life convicts who have been convicted of no previous crime involving moral turpitude, and whose record behind locks and bars has been clean and not tainted, is predicated on the fact that a man who is responsive to decent impulses is worth more to the state and to himself out of prison than in prison," continued Mr. Wells's report. Mr. Wells declared that or tne lite prisoners who are released by pardon or parole, few re-engage in crime. "Criminals by accident and circum stance rather than by design, they are a smaller social menace than the pro fessional offenders who regard the world as a pocket to be picked or a safe to be cracked," said he.
