TWO CENTO HE WILL AttorneyGeneral to GiyeTTlchita Officers Time. Act if the Local Authorities Fail to Do So. MR. SHUKEKS TALKS. Assistant Doubts Whether Liq uor Is Being Sold Openly. Says That "Near Beer" Is Caus ing Much Trouble. When asked today about the story sent out from Wichita to the effect that that city was wide oieii at this time snd would so continue. Assistant At torney General Shukers was not in clined to take much stock in the truth and veracity of the dispatches. He had been over in Wichita early in the sum mer on the Anheuser-Busch injunction rase and from his observation of iho conditions at that time he Was con vinced that the city officials would not stand for such a state of affairs as had been described in the dispatches "The lid was on tight then." said Mr. Shukers, "and the city officials inform ed me that they weVe determined to keep it clamped down. Mayor David son and his city attorney and chief of police are depended upon by this of fice to enforce the state prohibiioi-y law to the letter and the spirit. I think that these officials will take the matter in hand at once if the conditions describeu in the dispatches are true. "This temperance drink described as near-beer is the cause of a lot of trouble in the enforcement of the pro hibitory law. If it contains any per cent of alcohol it is prohibited by law. The jointist takes refuge behind his so called harmless drink and sells beer from his post of advantage. '"If the city of Wichita is running wide open, which I very much doulii.. and in the unlikely event of no effective action being: taken by the city officials there, then the attorney general orncc will do all in its power to fasten down nn air and liquid tight lid in that city. And you know we have had pretty isir success in matters of this kind in the past. However, this office depends upon local authorities to enforce the prohibition law and only interferes when our aid Is requested or when it is plainly apparent that the city au thorities are shirking their duty or are In collusion with the law breakers." SKYSCRAPER, SURE. Plans to Make Xew Santa Fe Offices 16 Stories. A sure enough "skyscraper" is al together likely to be constructed in Topeka and it will be if the plans and ideas of two of the most influential Santa Fe officials be carried out. A short time ago the State Journal printed an article of some length about the proposed new Santa Fe of fice build ins to be erected on Jackson street, immediately south of the pres ent general offices of the railway company. It was therein stated that the building would be fire proof and a model structure in every way. and twelve stones in height. It now develops that President E. P. Ripley and Vice President J. W. Kendricks are in favor of making this building sixteen stories instead of twelve. If their wishes are fulfilled, the Santa Fe office building will surely a monument and a land mark. Root, the Kansas City architect, is now engaged on the details of this building. The present office building is a big one six stories; imagine ten stories on top of that! DOLLEY AT WINFIELD. He Will Deliver Address at Bankers Picnic. J. X. Dolley, state bank commis sioner, left today for Winfield, where he has been invited to deliver an ad dress at the County Bankers' picnic tomorrow. The bankers of Cowley county are to be congratulated on the innovation or holding a picnic in lieu of a convention this hot weather. Mr. Dolley expects to spend Satur day at national guard encampment at Fort Riley and will not return to his office until Monday of next week. PATTERSON SHUT OFF. Commercial Congress Would Not Stand for a Knock on Plnchot. Denver. Col., Aug. 19. Despite the ef forts of leaders in the Transmississippi Commercial congress to prevent the in troduction of the Pinchot-Ballinger con tioversy, former United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson, of Colorado, pre cipitated an attack on Gifford Pinchot this morning, which was curtailed in part by the action of the congress in declining to give additional time to Mr. Pa-.ter&on. who wished to present a resolution in fuller form than allow ed by the rules of the congress. Sena tor Patterson's resolution cited that a board of inquiry composed of Mr. Pin hot and four other scientists some time ago reported that the boundaries of the forest reserves are not definite sud many places include grazing and agricultural lands. He declared there fore that Additional laws are not nec eFsary but that the president now has the authority to declare these boun daries in a more definite way thereby cividlng the forests from the arable lane's and saving to the people many thousands of actes of land now held in reserve as forest lands. Mr. Patterson declared that inasmuch ac Mr. Pirehot has himself concurred Jt. a. report which says that the boun daries are untrue it will be no illegal ct for the president to give back to the people the lands to which they are entitled. This, he said, is the conten tion of tho people of Colorado who be lieve that they are being deprived of lands to which they are entitled un der the homestead act. Air. Patterson asked that he be given 20 minutes to present his resolution l-ut the delegates declined to take this view and his remarks were curtailed to tiree mir.ute3 and no action was ta ken. No answer was made to the argument of the former senator. Resolutions were offered this morning endorsing the pro posed enlargement of the harbor works at Galveston, lexas. and asking an annual appropriation for rivers and harbors. More Pinchot resolutions were offered when A. M. Amnions, of Colorado, ask cd that laws be requested opening for ei.try such lands as are not timber ed yet held as reserves. Also that private capital be given the first op portunity to develop water power in stead of the government. Tho com mittee on resolutions favored the ad n ission of Arizona and. New Mexico as states and the establishment of a lend department of mines. Walter Grejhcm. who designed the Galveston sea wall was the principal speaker of the morning. He described the harbor work and the plans for further improvement. W. P Borland, r:moer o; congress from Missouri, spoko on v estern develooment. TEN MILES IN 8:56 New Track Record on the Indian apolis Speedway. Chevriolet Beats Time Made by Barney OldfUld. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 19. The $400,- C00 Indianapolis speedway was formally opened today with five automobile races, a 250 mile grind ending the day's sr ort. When Fred S. Wagner started the contestants in Ihe five mile stripped class race at noon, the big grand- land was comfortably filled. Hundreds of automobiles were massed in the im mense parking rpace just a little way from the finish line down the home stretch. It was here the real contests were expected as the mile straight away offered maiy temptations for tremend ous speed. The track was alive with machines in the early hours before the races cpened but shrrtly before noon tho course wa3 cleared by a force of 100 police and 100 members of the local n ilitia. Experts predict that the records for practically all the standard distances will be broken before the three days of the dizzy dashes around the big track are finished.

Santa Fe Emporia Plug Will Make Connections at Osage for Quenemo. General Passenger Agent J. M. Con nell of the Santa Fe announced this afternoon that the schedule of the local train on the Quenemo-Osage City branch of the Santa Fe would be re arranged effective tomorrow so that the train on that branch will meet the motor car southbound in the evening. This will make it possible for the pas sengers on that branch of the Santa Fe to return to their homes early in the evening, and will prove of great benefit to the passengers in i.ynaon Vassar and Quenemo. There was a difference of 39 minutes in the sched ule and the new schedule will pro vide for the holding of the Quenemo train 39 minutes later. L. T. Hussey of Lyndon, a former representative and state oil inspector, brought the matter before the Com mercial club and the special commit tee which has been working on the betterment of the train service made this recommendation to the Santa Fe who gladly acquiesced ln the request for better 'service. Another alteration has been made in the service over the cutoff which will hold the train between Quenemo and Emporia, so that the passengers from Topeka to points between Emporia and Quenemo can make good connections returning from Topeka in the evening. This will provide good connections with Maxson. Melvern. Olivet. Ridge ton, Lebo, Neosho Rapids and Wig gam. Both these changes' will take ef fect tomorrow, August 20. Weather Is Cooler. The forecast is getting badly frazzled by constant use, but otherwise it is un changed. "Generally fair tonight and Friday." At 2 o'clock this afternoon it was one degree cooler than it was at the same time yesterday. Wednesday's maximum was 87, and the minimum early this morning was 68. Not a drop of anything resembling rain ha,-, fallen on the state during the past 24 hour.;.

Still Has Eyo on Seat in U. S. Senate. GO OUT TO THE PEOPLE Expects to Win by Rousing Per sonal Campaign. Mr. Knapp Gives Out About Tax Levy. Facets And now comes word from the great southwest, from Wichita, the fast grow ing, ambitious city of vicissitudes. looms and setbacks, that ex-Governor Stanley will get into the senatorial race for sure and certain and that he hopes to win by occupying the wide stretch of middle ground between the two ex tremes of his party as represented by Senator Curtis and Governor Stubbs. Governor Stanley '3 senatorial ambi tion cannot be taken lightly. He has been in the public eye for. many years and served two terms as governor from 1899 to 1903 with credit to himself and the state. He is now engaged in the practice ot law at Wichita. Governor Stanley was a candidate for the United States senate against Long and Curtis six years ago and had a strong follow-4 ing in ihe legislature. He was elimina ted from the race through the manip ulations of the men then in control snd his strength turned to Lor.g. While Governor Stanlcv was undoubt edly wrought up at the t ime over the deal he received at tha instance of his op ponents he did not bear malice and the wounds of that campaign have long since healed. Stanley is strong with the people of the state, has ability and tact, and occupying a vantage ground between two bitter factions, is sure to be a formidable candidate for the sen atorial toga. A man of Stanley's calibre and pop ularity who is rot affiliated with the old machine crowd and who is not a swash-buckler in the wild eyed ranks of the reformers is sure to appeal to a li.rge number o" Republicans In Kan ss wha are tired of party faction. A gnat many Kansans think that Curtis was too thick with the Aldrich tariff revision upward crowd during the last session, while a great many other Kan stns think that the Stubbs brand of politics savors too much of Populism. The election of Stanley to the senate would eliminate the leaders of tooth factions er.d would also revolutionize pontics in this state. Jt would be a new deal rather than a square deal. Stanley expects to make an active and aggressive campaign before the peopl-i nd he will have to be reckoned with by the powers that be. Secretary Knapp, of the state board of control, has undertaken in a prepar- u.d statement to explain the increase m the tax ,evy tWa r and tQ 6how the adn,iniS:tration is responsible on, a Kmall t of the additlonal burden of seven millions of dollars. Here l3 the way Mr. Knapp argues the lease: "That there has been a rapid in crease in the amount of taxes levied can not be denied. In 1899 ten years ago there was levied for state, county, city, township and school dis- trict purposes ln the Btate of Kan- .t.,i r tnwswQiii poses was $20,497,603.33 an in crease ln eight years of $7,169,273.37 or more than half of the total taxes levied in 1899. The analysis of this appalling increase is the meat in the cocoanut and is what explodes the theories being circulated by 'Nemo' and other political writers who at tempt to place the entire responsibil ity upon the state administration and legislature on account of increased appropriations and what they are pleased to style 'unbridled extrava gance' in the management of the state's business. This Increase of more than seven million dollars is sub-divided as follows: State taxes increased 934,633.05 County taxes increased 1.451,944.83 City taxes increased 1,280,818.11 Township taxes increased 1.062,762.21 School district taxes increased.. 2,449.065.17 "The increase in the levies made for state taxes will therefore be seen to be lower ln proportion than the in crease required for any sub-division of the state government. In other words. $6,234,590.32 represents the increase in the levies made for coun ty, city, township and school district purposes and less than one million dollars for state purposes. These figures are taken from the sworn statements from the county clerks to the state auditor and prove that economy, like "charity, should begin at home."- Senator Fred Quincjf'of Salina still stands by the guaranty, of deposit law passed by the last legislature, even if It does differ -materially from the guaranty bill presented by himself for consideration t? that. .law. making iraojr last win Lei,. IB an. .open letter the senator takes the following shot me national oannera wno are fight ing the state law: "In view of al the facts, "it ill be comes Mr. Burrow or any one con nected with ,the insurance corporation to resort to pettifogging "methods to try and belittle the state guaranty iuna, wnjen is.' cieany two and one half times stronger in resources with whichi to pay losses -'than the cor poration. It is a well- known fact, however, based upon- statistics of the highest order that the average losses mrougn Dans lanures m the United States for the past forty years has not exceeded one twenty-fifth of one per cent, or 40 cents per thousand per annum. And it 13 further conceded by. equally good authority that the losses In Kansas 'ta the last ten years have been much Jess' than this. Consequently,- It is apparent that the an nual assessments', of the state fund alone will be ample -froi pay "ell losses for 'a term of years if we may he per mitted to judge he future by the past in this as we do- all thef human pos sibilities and the five additional per mitted assessments of 50 cents each will act as a reserve to 'meet emerg encies and would have heen ample to have paid the Average -losses through bank failures in-the years of 1873 and 1893, the two most disastrous panics in the country, which ought to satisfy the most fastidious doubter as to the efficiency of the state f und to meet all demands that will be made upon, it in the future. And the premium of $1 per thousand proposed to be charged by the insurance corporation ought to be ample to pay tne Josses-.that are .likely to occur, and very likely will be. if the business of the corporation is conducted economically and the of ficers salaries and expenses kept with in reason. "In view of all these facts. It would seem to me that these two In stitutions might -safely proceed with out further pettifogging and give to the depositors -the security they de mand upon equal terms' and con ditions as to the deposits covered and permit the banks to choose which sys tem they prefer and the depositor likewise. The proof of the pudding will be the eattng." MURDOCK IS GREETED. Congressman Tendered an Ovation by His Constituents. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 19. More than two thousand people attended the in formal reception that was given in honor of Congressman "Victor Mur- dock in the Chamber of Commerce building. The crowd was made of laborers, clerks, business men, bank ers and men of all characters and every one shook .hands with him and commended him for his .work in con gress as a representative of the state of Kansas. George N. .Dixon, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and a mem ber of the civil service commission, presided at the meeting. Henry Allen. editor of the Wichita Beacon, made a short informal talk and eulogized Congressman Murdock. his work as a representative of the people of the Sunflower state. Congressman Mur dock made a few brief remarks by outlining his policy in congress and was frequently interrupted by cheers from his hearers. He was given a great ovation after completing his remarks. Mr. Murdock returned from Wash ington, more than a week ago and is spending his time in looking after the interests of his constituents. The hall was packed to overflowing for more than two hours. Never has a con gressman from Kansas been given such an ovation In Wichita. FLAG DISAPPEARS. Standard of the (i. A. II. Is Myster iously Missing. Salt La-ke, Aug. 19. The standard of the Grand Army of the Republic which has been carried for the past twenty years by the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army and has been the official banner of every en campment since 1889, has been miss ing since the day of the recent pa rade of the veterans. August 11, and it is feared it has been stolen. When last seen it was floating over the re viewing stand. The color bearers failed to take It down immediately and when they went for It, it was gone. The flag is of yellow silk, eight by twelve feet in size and woven into it are the words, "National Standard of the Grand Army of the Republic" It was presented to the Grand Army in 1889 in Milwaukee. i QUALIFIED PROSPERITY. Plenty of Provender Providing CLUBS ISJRUMPS Armed With Hickory Sticks, the State Constabulary Keeps the Strikers on the More at McKees Rocks.

Mounted and using their hickory riot clubs, mem bers of the Pennsylvania Btate consta bulary were today keeping strikers on the move in the Pressed Steel Car com pany strike zone at McKees Rocks.

Troopers took possession of the O'Don- ovan bridge and efforts of the strikers to congregate at any point were de feated.

The shooting, they say was for the purpose of bring ing the consfc.bula.ry from the plant to the bridge and give the new men an opportunity to escape KENOSHA MAKES MONEY Annual Profit of 20 Per Cent on Municipal Water riant. Kenosha. Wis., Aug. 19. The report of the Kenosha municipal water plant for the last twenty months shows that the commission made net earnings of nearly $50,000 on an Investment of only a little more than million dol lars. In addition to this it is shown that a large number of extensions have been made to the Kenosha plant and the rate for water rental has been reduced so that it is as low or lower than that paid in any other city of its size in Wisconsin. The Kenosha plant has been a pay ing institution since it was taken over by the city In 189&- The cost of the plant is rapidly being paid off. Of the J137.000 for which the plant was originally bonded only J77.000 remains unpaid and more than double this amount has been spent on ex tensions and. new equipment. BRIDGE BREAKS DOWN. Thirty- Persons Precipitated and Ten Seriously Hurt. Chicago. Aug. 19. Ten persons were injured seriously and twenty others had narrow escapes when 250 feet of the Twelfth street bridge over the river and viaduct collapsed. The bridge was closed on its west approach for construction work on the railroad viaduct underneath. The accident occurred Just after a street car had run part way across the bridge and thirty passengers had alighted to walk over the dangerous portion to get another car. The pas sengers were hurrying in a huddled group when there was a loud rum bling and a crash and the foot way sank beneath them carrying many down. Many escaped by clinging to side timbers. These with the car crews, began the work of rescue and most of the injured were taken out before the police ambulances came. Several were found with legs and arms broken and internal injuries. CHARGED WITH MURDER. Accused Admits He May Have Com mitted Crime WhUe Asleep. Toledo, O., Aug. 19. "If I killed my wife and baby I do not remember anything about it. I have no recollec tion of anything of the kind. I could have committed the crime only while I was walking ln sleep. My life has been, full of mysteries." This was the statement made yes terday by James Ritter, the McComb paperhanger, after he had been ar raigned before Squire Sours, at Find lay, pleaded not guilty, and was bound over to the grand Jury. Ritter is charged with the murder of his wife and baby, whose bodies were found in an abandoned well ln the rear of their home a week ago. EGGS MUST BE EGGS.

Chicago. Aug. 19. A special cab1 from Rome to the Tribune says: The address delivered by Prof. Chaw. W. Eliot before the Harvard summer school of theology on the religion oc the future, has beer, translated by tha pope's order into Italian, that he might more thoroughly comprehend it. The translation, which was most ac curately done, was read with great car by his holiness, who expressed pro tound regret that a man of such author ity and culture as Dr. Eliot should spread theories that, he said, are not fact the basis or a new religion of the future, but a negation of the faith and principles which are the foundation Christianity and modern civiliza tion. The pope is reported to have said it would be easy to refute and destroy Dr. me oei.3iK!e: m Ljicut uuun-n an u ittitn.

The locals were credited with five errors, while the Sioux played an immaculate fielding game. The Holmes servants carried away fourteen full sized hits, while the locals were bagging four, only one of Which a home run by Butch Kerns over the left field fence counted. K&Ut Was Spiked In a Play at Second. In the past three or four hundred years) the white men have at times mistreated the native redskins of the North- American continent. Whether Winneibago Johnson Was evening up or not is not known but he was pitch ing sdvne great ball yesterday, and without the big Injun Working as he did thirars might have been much dif ferent. Col. Fired Burnum started the pro ceedings for the Topeka tribe, but he couldn't ,get started and at the end of the fir.st inning the duty of dish ing ftp things for the Sioux to hit fell to the lot of Mr. Jack Darrah, the debutant of the pitching staff. The big yourtg fellow pitched eight inn ings. He started out shy on control and this proved a stumbling block. He was hit pretty hard, but he show ed coolness1, plenty of speed and a good curve ball. This is all that Is needed in ttie pitching game o the twentieth ceintury, and despite the dozen binges which accumulated during the administration of this youngster. Ml. Darrah will be heard from later. There were several banged up plays in the Topeka infield which proved costly. Mr. James Whitcomb Kelllv made Ms most generous con tribution of the season, three, but he is excusable. At that he handled nine ones with safety and looked bad Onlv In one inning. Bob Kahl got his foot and leg spiked In two1 places In a play at sec ond base and had to quit the game, Anderson took his place and was per fect In his decorum for the remain der 6f the afternoon. Campbell's single In the first fol lowing Smith's WalK in the first start ed a run. Andreas forced Smith at third and "Welch forced Andreas, but "Hunter two-bagged and two runs csme in. Tn the third Andreas Walk, Welch's triple and Stovall's single scored two funs. Three were scored in the sixth. Andreas led off with a double, ant! scored when Abbott threw Welch's bunt over third base. welch hoofed St to second on the flav and scored when Iarrah emu lated Abbott's throw. Singles by Ed ifiiindson and Shea added the other tally of the inning. ReiHy's low throw to Abbott gave Kdmundson a life in the eighth. Stovall sacrificed and Johnson's hit scored Kdmundson The- big W"innebago dented the plate WttTt the final run on Smith's triple to the right field fence. "Father Time" Derrick umpired bs.lis and strikes and the fact that there wasn't any kicking on either side showed that he did a pretty good ion or It aespite lus antiquity. He is thought to have his second eye sight. The two teams clash again today with Bolivar Kaufman, the likely pitching candidate. The Packers will send in From or Clarke. Tomor row, Ladies day.

Some one once said that Stovall couldn't hit. He has copped three in the two games thus far. Looks as though he would yet make his both ers look up. Wooley smashed one through the infield on his first trip to. the plate. Reilly beat Otte out, and Geief placed one to right field for two sacks. This and Kern's long one were the only hits of the locals. Johnson didn't Walk a man yester day. In the warmup he could throw one straight. Which shows that you can't tell anything about it, Ducky Holmes is up- in Minneapolis trying to get Kiddo Wilson, a pitcher, to join the team. Wilson doesn't want to very badly but Ducky wants him. The two may arrive in Topeka before the series is over with. Burnum'a curve ball wouldn't break for him. When this doesn't work, the big southpaW is up against it, as that Is his main recourse. Pick Hunter is just about as good a man as any first baseman in the league. He wiU go up before long- if not this year, then it will be next, Landreth didn't hit again yester day. Cheer up Cy. It may not all be true. Lincoln 10. Wichita 6. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 19. The Witches used three pitchers and the Links two yesterday and the Links pulled out ahead in a game that was replete with hitting. snackierora started in the first inning but proved easy to the Links, while Shaner who succeeded him lasted but little longer. Shaner retired in the Seventh and Hunt took his place, doing fairly well. Men rath started the game for Lin coin, but In the sixth Inning Nagle was substituted and the gams was saved.

Denver, Colo., Aug. 19, In a game which lasted only seven innings on account of the rain, the Grizalies Wen from Omaha yesterday. The feature of the game Was the pitching of Ber- fef, Denver's new twiner from the coast. Berber allowed but one hit, but was wild, the only run ot the visit ors belns due to too many .walks. In the seventh he walked three straight after which an infield out scored a runner. Holienbeck's wildness in the sixth inning proved his undoing, but some clever pitching in other innings pulled himself out of the hole. The score: DENVER. KB. K- 2 1 3 0 4 1 Players Maag, Sb II, PO.

WHERE 'XHEY PLAY TOMORROW. Sioux City at Topeka. Lincoln at Wichita. Des Moines at Pueblo. Omaha at Denver. Honus Mitze certainly must have IWesfemNiiel I TIN PTES L J 1 had an off day behind the bat for Pueblo in Tuesday's game. Anyhow Frank McManus go credit for three stolen bases. That Topeka bunch ia certainly much better looking than at any previ ous time this season. The pitching for once Is complete. That Is there are enough pitchers to give the others a rest between times, and not cause any of them to be overworked. With Wright, Boles, Kaufman and Burnum all in good condition and winnihg near ly every game they pitch It won't be long until we are in that first division. Then there is a pair of youngsters who can go in at any time and give a good exhibition. Thomason's ability is well known and he Is no poor pitcher. Then Darrah in the warmaps every day shows a lot of stuff, and eohsider- irg everything his showing Wednesday was not bad. The infield is exception ally strong with Reilly in it and al most if not quite the equal ot any in the league. Ar.d the outfield with Landreth in it will do. The big boy will get to hitting and it's a cinch that he can cover a lot of ground. Af ter all it looks pretty good to the lo cals. Umpire Tim Hurst. Who is how at outs with Ban Johnson of .the Ameri can League, umpired out this way 20 years ago, and it was in the old West ern League of 20 years ago that he got his start. Ump.'re Derrick, who was considered an old man then re members him as a youngster. And talking about Old men in the game, there is old Theodora Breiten stein, who was 15 or 20 years ago one of the best southpaws In the game. This old man who is still pitching for New Orleans Went in against the Montgomery team last Sunday and held tho Montgomery team hltless and runlcss. He was opposed by Lively who goes to Connie Mack's athletics next season. There seems to be some class to this old Western League after all. Sioux City soid Me'ter early in the season, and now Smltli has been soio. xusner, King and Hollenbeck of the omana team get a chance, so do uwyer ana Niehoff and Cole of Wichita. There is also Fenlon of Topeka who gets in the Amprinan Association and Spencer of Pueblo has gone to Indianapolis. And thero ate a number on the Des Moines team especially who belong up and who will get another chance next season. oharipa Tonne.nian. who is being talk ed of for faster company On account of his good work at Nashville this sea son, was with Topeka two years ago. Tonneman is a pretty good mechanical worker but he has the unpleasant fac ulty of too much gab, and talked himself out of a Job at both Topeka and Pueblo. That kind don't last long in fast com pany. Rhody Hendrix won another shutout ;ame in the Central Association Mon day. Winning irom the Jacksonville team bv a score Of 6 to 0. He allowed six hits and had but One leak in his support. The Sioux City Tribune-thinks that Putblo must have got something to boot in the trade of Spencer for Mc Chesney. Ducky was willing to put up S500 for that person anytime. The Lincoln team will be tho next one here. Tho Links are not playing as hard as they were the last time here. The new management and the loss of sotne of the best players on the team has made a great difference. We should make a good cleaning on this bunch. There will be a double header Sunday, and ought to be a great crowd. The Sarta Fo has promised to hold the-'motOr ear so that a big bunch of out of town fans Will be here. Oueer those Pueblos are hot higher It. the race. Miller and uiani, tne two Lest players on the team are leading the "eague in hitting, curns wno coines next in the list is hanging right around that .300 mark.

MISSOURI RIVER CASL Decision Expected This Week Will Affect Western Lines. 944,620.281 for the fiscal year end- (for the same period the year previous, ing June 30, 1908. Recelots (ram SMmnnr business were Other Items ef Interest in Railway Circles. Chicago. Aug. 19. The third attack t the western railroads against the in terstate commerce commission. Involv ing the commission's order that through interline freight raes from the east shall be less than the sums of the local rates, will be initiated this week before the federal circuit court of appeals. The Rock Island within a day or two will nie a bill asking for a preliminary Injunction to restrain the commission from enforcing its most recent order cf this kind, which reduces the through rates from points east of the Illinois Indiana line to Des Moines, la. On complaint of the Greater Des iloir.es committee the commission held that the through rates were too high because the Rock Island's proportional from the Mississippi river to uc Moines was excessive and ordered re cuctlons ranging from and 6 cents rer hundred pounds on first class traffic down to corresponding amounts on tne lower 'asses. The order takes effect Sept. 1. At about the same time the decision of Judges Grosscup, Baker, and Kohl saat will be rendered in the Missouri river rate case, the first of the three cases which have aroused the through rate litigation, and which will settle one of the most important questions in volving the commission's power to reg ulate freight rates. The judges have agreed upon the de cision, the opinion has been prepared, and it will be handed down this week, probably on Thursday. In this order the commission reduced the through rates from the seaboard to the Mis souri river below the combination of the local rates at Chicago or St. Louis. While the Des Moines order applies directly to the Rock Island, the other roads passing through Des Moines are equally affected on account of com petitive considerations. William D. Mc- Hugh of Omaha had been selected a special counsel to handle the case for the railroads. Intervening petitions will be filed by the St. Paul. North western. Illinois Central. Wabash, and Burlington, and Minneapolis and St. Louis railways, whose revenues would also be reduced by the order. It is alleged in the bill that the rates prescribed by the commission are un fair because they discriminate in favor of Des Moines against .other cities in the state, and that by reducing the proportional west of the Mississippi river as applied only to the through traffic the commission has reduced the through rate after consideration of onlv one of its constituent parts. The decision of the court in the Mis souri river case has been anxiously awaited by the attorneys for the com mission and the railroads, traffic of ficials and shippers for several month.-, but the opinion was not expected until September. It will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States in any event, either by the roads or by the commission. The original order of the commission was made on June 24. 1908. and the ap plication for a preliminary injunction was granted last October. The delay has been valuable to the railroads, as according to their estimates the re ductions would cost them over $140,000 a year directly. A final decision in favor of the commission's ruling, it is declared, will bring about a reduction of through rates to all parts of the west, while lessening the revenues of the railroads by over Sl.000.000 a year. On the other hand, according to at torneys for the commission, an adverse decision would seriously curtail their powers to reduce rates in specific in stances complained of without making similar reductions in all rates depend ent tnereon to avoid being enjoined oi grounds of discrimination. The interstate commerce commission has issued a form of general balance sheet which the railroads will be re quired to follow in making their reports to the commission. The form will ap ply to the fiscal year beginning July 1. 19C9. Compliance with the order will mean the setting forth of all the fac;s necessary for an intelligent interpreta tion of the company's business as re flected in a balance sheet. The form contains provisions for listing forty nine classes of items, which ari grouped under appropriate heads. The operating expenses for the last fiscal year were $29,627,499 as com pared witn 133,634,967 for the pre vious fiscal year. GROWS GRAY IX SERVICE. Louis Deutcher Is Now Retired on Pension by Santa Fe. To have been in the service of the Santa Fe for thirty-eight consecutive years and to have served under every general manager and superintendent of motive power that the road has ever had Is no ordinary career. It is a remarkable record. Yet such -is the distinction enjoyed by Louis Deutch er of Topeka, Kan., who has just re tired from his duties as foreman of J114.3S6.83; freight. $1,937,825.02: other sources, $16,449.12, making total receipts, $2,362,173.15; expenses and taxes amounted to $1,626,110.45. leaving a net revenue of $736.02.70. which is an increase of $246,456.35 over the net results for the year before for the same quarter, and shows that business is picking up.

III 'Beerless Prineess" No Longer Applicable to Southern City. DROUTH IS BROKEN. MORGAN PAYS DEPOSIT. I Now Eligible to Bid on Sale of Chit-ago Great Western. Louis DcoU'ber. Born in Legden. Prussia, on Feb ruary 22, 1836, Mr. Deutcher came to America in May, 1867. He first lo cated at Quincy, 111., where he work ed for the Burlington railroad as en gine wiper, blacksmith and tinsmith, respectively, for two years. In he moved to mnuiual. jio., where he spent two years as tin and copper smith in the employ of what was then the Hannibal St. Joseph railroad. It was at Hannibal that he met Mr. George Nettleton, who resigned short ly afterward as general manager of the Hannibal St. Joseph railroad to assume charge of the Santa Fe, which was then in its infancy. In commenting upon this change, Mr. Nettleton once remarked to Mr. Deutcher that he was going to affil iate himself with a live road. Through Mr. Nettleton Mr. Deutch er was later appointed foreman of the Santa Fe-tinshop at Topeka. which position he held continuously from June, 18 71. He was the first tinsmith ever employed by the Santa Fe, as the company had previously allowed the work of this kind to be done by the private firm of Blake Helm at Topeka. For a time Mr. Deutcher did all the tin and copper work alone, but, as the road grew, more work men were of course added to this de partment. The original tinshop was a small one-room affair, too small to admit an engine flue and with ac commodations for only six workmen. At that time the Santa Fe extended only from Atchison to Emporia. Its entire shop force, including the mas ter mechanic's office, comprised only sixty-eight men. Topeka was then a straggling town of eight thousand people, where buffalo meat was a common article of diet and where men often died with their boots on. Singularly favored is that man who, during the period of an active life of faithful service, has been per mitted to see the future unroll itself from these humble beginnings to the mighty present, and to have been a live factor in such transformation. From the time that "Old Man" Holliday was jeered for predicting that the Santa Fe would some day cross the Rocky Mountains and reach the Pacific, Mr. Deutcher, as a faith ful employe, has seen the system pushed from Emporia to the Pacific. to the Mexican border, to the Gulf and from Topeka to the Great Lakes. In his own sphere of activity he has seen the humble tinshop of 1871 grow into a distinct feature of one of the greatest railway shops in the world, and his former band of co workers has expanded from sixty eight to over three thousand men. And he has seen his home town rise from a frontier community to be the leading city of a great state. Though by nature of a quiet and retiring disposition. Mr. Deutcher makes some pretensions to social life, being a member of the Masonic Or der. A. O. XT. W. antt the Turnvereln. The hearty good wishes of thou sands of Santa Fe men are with him at his home on Madison street, To peka. where he will enjoy a well earned retirement. Santa Fe Em ployees Magazine.

This Plan is designed to strengthen the Great Northern's posi tion in its competitive fight with the Harriman interests and the Chicago, Milwaukee Puget Sound, for far western and Pacific coast business. One of the most important of these improvements will be the building of the Okanogan branch in nortn central Washington, from Oroville, on the Spokane and Oroville line of the Okanogan river, to Brewster. The line will follow the route taken by the fur traders of the rival Hudson Bav and Northwest companies a cen tury or more ago, Brewster being on the site of old Fort Okanogan, afford ing traffic facilities to an extensive area of rich fruit land, a portion of which has recently been irrigated by the government under the Okanogan irrigation project. to TO CONTROL C.

But one restriction is olaced on the jointists, and that is they, must oper ate only on the second floors of build ings. It is thus believed that the peo ple who favor law enforcement will not take cognizance and will not make com plaint to Attorney General Jackson. The chief of police says he cannot stop the joints because the law allows them tc sell near-bear, that Is, beer con taining less than 2 per cent of alcohol, and that it is impossible to tell the near-beer from the real thing when the! labels are removed." They, say it would be useless to be pulling the joints and finding only near-beer, and that if they found real beer it would require a chemical analysis to prove the case. This they coisider too much trouble. Mayor Says He Is Powerless. Mayor Davidson, who was elected with the understanding that the joints should be closed, seems powerless to stop violations of the law. The com missioners refuse to pass an ordinance requiring that near-beer be sold only in gallon lots, and unless such an ordi nance is passed the stuff will be sold over bars. The gallon-lot ordinance, it is claimed, would do away with the bars. Theie is strong talk here that unless the city commissioners take steps to close the joints, and do so at cr.ee, petitions will bo circulated and their recall asked by the people who favor prohibition and law enforcement.

Reports have reached here to the effect that Ed Gould, a freight brakeman on the Katy, was caught between the draw heads of two cars and his foot mashed so badly that amputation will be necessary. No further particulars of the seriousness of the accident could be learned at the Katy offices. From all that could be ascertained, Gould was at work on his train near Welch and was helping to switch the train. In some way one of the draw heads refused to work and after the fashion of trainmen, he commenced to kick the drawhead knuckle into place so that it would catch. His foot slipped and was caught between the two cars and as a result mashed so badly that it was thought at the time that it would have to be amputated. At tlie Air Dome.

This is a new institution soon to be opened at Springer, in that territory. On Mr. Kirkpatrick will devolve the duty of organizing the institution and getting it into running shape. Mr. Kirkpatrick's appointment is due to the recent visit here of James K. Hunt and W. W. Mills, members of the board of managers of the in stitution, a week or more ago. They made a thorough inspection of the in stitution here, which has the reputa tion of being a model of its kind, and Mr. Kirkpatrick's long and intimate connection with the reformatory caused them to pick him as the proper man to head their institution. It was over ten years ago that Mr. Kirkpatrick came to the reformatory as clerk. He has served continuously since that time during various changes of state administrations. KANSAS PRODIGY IS DEAD.

Yeggman Held Responsible for "IstUe Frank" Allen's Death. Winfield, Kan., Aug. 19. In the in quest held over the body of "Little Frank" Allen, the robber kl'led in the holdup of Mel Thomas here June S. the Jury found that Allen came to his death from revolver shot wounds in flicted by W. J. Troeter, alias Harry Montague, a well known yeggman and safe blower. Jealousy over a woman, wife of the dead man, is supposed to have been the motive for the killing. Troeter's criminal record, to trace which the Cowley county officers traveled over 6.000 miles in two months, shows him to be a professional safe blower, only released a year ago from a four year term in the Arkansas state peniten tiary for blowing safes at Argents.

Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. President Taft positively forbids the census appointees to mix lip in active pontics. This means that any number of them will have to change their ways of a lifetime. Mrs. McCormick, John D. Rocke feller's daughter, says that mothers are the real -ueens. That's been the pre vailing opinion of most folks for soma little time, In fact since humanity began. The chief of the psychopathic ward at Bellevue.'New York's famous pub lic hospital, declares that tea and cof fee are as great perils to women as strong drink to men. This furnishes something else for the women to worry about. Because a Chicago woman, sick un to death, believed that her three little babies would be helpless and suffering afte- she was gone she took their lives and her own by the gas route. This is a poor way to attempt to solve one of life's riddles. "Of course, Kansas was the hottest place In the country yesterday," says the Kansas City Star of August 16. the rest of the world will never be able to do anything or have anything quite like Kansas." Correct. Evidently Mr. Harriman Is satisfied in his own mind that the sickness which is troubling him at o.-esent is only of a temporary character. It Is reliably reported that he has secured an option on the control of the great New Tork. Central system of railroads. Mr. Ralston, the city attorney, has concluded that the city Is liable for flood damages if the Melan bridge is not extended so that it will not block the channel of the Kaw. This Is an other good reason why the bonds for this extension should carry at the spe cial election to be held soon for this purpose. Delegates to the eighteenth annual assembly of the Young People's Alli ance and Women's Missionary society announced on the recent conclusion of their deliberations here that they liked Topeka mighty well. That's the ver dict of every one who comes to this city and stays long enough to get ac quainted. William E. Curtis writes to the Chi cago Record-Herald that the bachelors of Wyoming, who outnumber the wo men there by 10 to 1. find good wives by "mail order." This oughi to be as good a way as any to get a wife for a man never can tell what he Is getting in that line, resrardlesa of his onnor- tunlties for intimate courtship, until he has been married for some time. Some prominent attorneys have de livered opinions to the effect that the sale of the Kansas, Colorado and Southern bonds by the county com missioners through a private bond brokerage house is perfectly legal. tion but it must be remembered that attorneys do not amount to much who cannot deliver opinion to fit their fees. "c a emss-.ixi.ias'isBippi congress lOl lows in the wake of the National Ir rigation congress with all kinds of schemes for spending governmental money in huge sums. Many of the plans proposed are admirable for the development of the country but the trouble is that there is a limit to the size of Uncle Sam's bank roll, although some people do not seem to realise that fact. William Winter, dean of American dramatic critics, wrote his usual ngthy piece for a recent Sunday edi tion of the New York Tribune, The ed itor of the paper cut it down consider ably. Mr. Winter became vexed at. this and resigned his job. If all the news paper writers In the country should follow Mr. Winter's example there would not be very many of them work ing a week from now. mi... m in i i Great joy must reign In Boston. Her beans and other things are safe from the spoliation of unfriendly hands. In V theoretical battle the town has proved herself Impregnable to attack from a hostile army. Of course, some folks might not be satisfied with the sufficiency of a theory of this sort but not so with the Bostonese. They are stronger on theories than anything else. KANSAS HOT WINDS. "The report that hot winds are dam aging the western Kansas corn crop must be accepted wjth due allowance for the proverbial tendency in that state to magnify the danger of drouth and hot winds," says the Kansas City Star. "As a' matter of fact it has been many years since Kansas suffered ser ious loss from either drought or hot winds. In twenty years the average corn crop In that state has been 153, 456,318 bushels. Only three years in twenty has the yield dropped below the 100,000.000 mark, the smallest yield being 42,605,572 bushels In 1901. But 1901 was an exceptionally dry year. Except for a rain over a part of the state the night of July 4, there was no rain from April 15 until late In the fall, and the drought followed a drv winter and was preceded by an unusually dry summer and fall In 1900. "The fear of hot winds in Kansas is a tradition. Even the three corn failures' since 1889 (anything less than 100,040,000 bushels Is called a failure in Kansas) have not been oc casioned by hot winds, but by dry weather. The real hot winds have not visited Kansas sines the '80's. and up to that time they were almost always limited to long 'dry spells,' as com monly supposed. The hot winds were liable to "droD in" any time during July and August, and In a few days the corn would wither and dry in the stalk, the ear would refuse to 'fill,' and the prospects that had been most promising for an abundant yield would disappear in a day. "But these blighting winds do not blow in Kansas now. The term, as used by the newspaper correspondents to describe conditions in that state Is deceptive. And, besides, if Kansas should have a corn 'failure this year, it would hardly be noticed be cause the farmers are rich and "have need of nothing.' "But in the old days, when Kansas really had hot winds, the crop loss was complete, and fell upon pioneers al ready overburdened with hardships and actual want. There was no 'dollar wheat' and no fat bank balances to rely on in that day. After the hot winds there was nothing left nothing but a family to feed and clothe some how, and the interest on the mortgage to meet in some way. "But Kansas lived through it and came out of the Great Tribulation more than conqueror.' TOKENS OF PROSPERITY. Real signs of the prosperity which is returning to the business ac tivities of the people of this nation are to be found on many sides, but none of them are more certain than those which have developed of late in the railroad -world. Railroad com panies are not In the habit of buying more freight and passenger cars and additional locomotives unless such equipment Is needed. Neither do they put in big orders simply to take care of such a rush of business as will be occasioned when the big crops of the land begin to move. Engines and freight cars are not bought for use for few weeks but for several years. And so when the railroads go into the business of placing huge orders for all kinds of rolling stock it means that they are preparing for the busi ness of the future. That the railways believe that the returning prosperity is not only here to stay but that It is going to grow greater in the future is evidenced by the orders for new equipment which they are placing these days. Only a few days ago the Rock Island placed orders for 5.000 forty-ton freight cars and 50 locomotives. The Chesapeake Ohio also handed In a new order for 6,000 freight cars In addition to a recent order for 1,500. The Baltimore Ohio has contracted for 70 passenger cars. The Santa Fe has gone Into the market for 90 pas senger cars of varying types. The Pennsylvania railroad has placed an order for $8,500,000 worth of freight cars and engines, said to be the largest single order of the kind on record. "Uncle Yim" Hill, who is in clined to get pessimistic at times has ordered Jl, 000, 000 worth of new loco motives. In fact, about every rail road In the country is after more facilities with which to handle the business of the future. And the most satisfying feature of all this is that the railroads seldom if ever make a mistake in their prognostications. There is a good reason for this. Their officials have their fingers at all times on the pulse of the nation's activities in every field of endeavor. They know when pros perity Is at hand and they are able to figure out to a nicety whether it is of the substantial sort that is going to continue on Its way. It can be set down for certain, therefore, that the prosperity which is rushing on by leaps and bounds, is here to stay. This is a particularly satisfying thought even If the weather has not been conducive to thoughts of that sort. MEDIATION A GREAT FORCE. That strike which has kept 25,000 hat makers in New Jersey out of work for several months has been settled at lett by arbitration and through the mediation of Governor Fort of New Jersey. Similar results were accom plished not so long ago In a strike of street oar employes in Pittsburg, Pa. Tbe mayor of that city announced that It the street car company refused to arbitrate its differences with its employes he would take charge of Its property and operate the car lines on his own hook. A strike that would have ctused much trouble and turmoil in Chicago, which was threatened by the street car employes, was averted by the intervention of the mayor of that city and the successful arbitration of the n alters In dispute. And so Tun the stories about things of this sort In thesa days of grace. They point out clearly he Justice and efficiency of arbitration in laDor situa- tlcDS which become acute. But the more significant lesson that they teach Is the value of prompt mediation by public officials In the communities where strit.es occur or are threatened. &uoh mediation is generally successful in bringing about the arbitration which ei'os, or prevents, the strikes. When Theodore Roosevelt was presi dent he started the ball rolling in this mofct desirable way by hU-interveniion in the great coal strike. He probably had no authority of law to warrant his action In insisting that the warring factions to this calamitous affair should svrmit the-lr differences to an arbitra tion tribunal which he created for the purpose. He jurt went ahead and did it because it struck him as being a gicat public duty. The results accom plished left no sore spots on any one s rid the whole nation applauded a most righteous act. Since that epoch-marking event in public activity, govern ars of states and n ayors of cities have not been slow to do likewise when labor troubles have threatened the peace and happiness of their communities or any portion of U.em. They are not given specific auth ority by laws io take these actions, But there are few laws In this or any otter land which outline wl-at a pub he official or ar y other man may do v. ben emergencies arise. Most of the laws, are directed towards the things that people cannot do. But the duties of public officials as administrators of the affairs of their com munities make- it incumbent upon them to undertake the settlement of labor, or any other disputes of serious character that confront then. And they do not come in for criticism from anybody for their activities in these respects, resrardiess of their lack of legal authority to engage In them. Rath er do the- people rise up and call them blessed. Arbitration is a -magnificent propagan da for the settlement of labor and all other disputed questions between men and nations as welL But an intelli gent and discerning mediation by public servants in high power In affairs of this sort is mere important, Mr. Roosevelt also made another excellent example to this end when he successfully in tervened in the Rusrlan-Japanese war and succeeded in bringing it to a con clusion. Time flies especially fast for the man who has a note to meet. In some boarding houses about the only thing in the vegetable line which is served is horseradish. Preparations -which are good for baldness really ought not to be in much demand from bald-headed folks. m Lucky, indeed, is the individual who can say the right thing at the right time, but, unfortunately there are not many of them. Nothing but the best of feeling should nrevail among all people af ter the hot weather has gone. It's been sufficient to work all the mean ness out of them. JAYHAWKER JOTS A clever merchant in Marion adver tises: "You can buy a cheap hat al most as cheap as your old one looks." It occurs to the Jewell County Re publican that "the man who doesn't do enough work to enjoy his rest misses a lot." It was appropriate to say the least that an Atchison veterinarian should deny the story that he had purchased an automobile. A man may be justified In blowing his own horn but it is mighty hard on those who reside in the same block. says the editor of the Marysville Dem ocrat. The Galena Times is under a new management which announces that in the future it will be a "conservative, liberal paper." Tom Morgan construes this to mean that the Times will be in favor of prohibition but opposed to its enforcement. The Ottawa Herald wants the tariff made by "a commission, sitting regu larly, composed of patriots, subject to no sectional or partisan political In fiuences." The fault the Leavenworth Post finds with this plan is this: "The gentlemen whom the Herald wants to put on this Job are employed just now in the orchestra of the New Jerusa lem." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. The self-possessed burglar takes trrgs quietly. Platonic love is almost aa dangerous as a toy pistol. Some men are too lazy to complain If they can t find work. It's easy for lady circus riders to get engagement rings. Eve raised Cain after Adam lost his job as gardener in oSden. Our idea of a r andy man is one who is a ole to keep Ms hand in. People who feel sure of their ability usually make the least, display of it. If hearts are trumps it's up to the v ise young man to play a diamond. No. Cordelia, a fourth-class postmas ter isn't necessarily a fourth-class man. Manicures would always be busy if they could improve the hands of poker players. The average man is a willing worker when he meets another man who is willing to be worked. When a girl orders flowers sent home it's a sign that -she expects the neigh bors to think some man sent them. Unless you have more spare time than ycu know what to do with it's foolish to try to convince a fool that he is foolish. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.l The reason a man thinks he has a good head for business is nobodv else thinks so. When a girl won't let a man kiss her it's so as to make her mother believe it. All the things a man can get fun out of doing he couldn't if they were useful. A man is just fool enough to think that if he can send flowers to an actress the world admires him. The unsatisfactory thing about having enough money seems to be that when a man geta it it isn't enough. I JOURNAL ENTRIES i I KANSAS COMMENT GIVE THE CHURCH A CHANCE. Why Is It that- in building churches men do not use the same common sense that characterizes their actions in the construction of, other buildings? Why is it that a church is nearly al ways built In snoh a iuqv that tirnnsr ventilation is impossible and pure air Is at a premium? Why Is.it that while theaters and other places of public amusement are comparatively cool, the churches of any city are too close and hot to be toler ated during the hot weather of the summer? Which is most Important, beautifu' memorial windows that cannot be opened to let in the light and air, or the welfare of men, morally and physi cally? At this time, when some of the con gregations of this city contemplate building new churches, these questions are pertinent, and worthy of a little consideration. As a matter of fact, in many churches not only In this city, but elsewhere, comfort and health conditions are sac rificed to vain show which ought to be the last thing any church should be guilty of, WThile theoretically most of tnem are constructed on scientific lines in fact, they are, most unscientific Great stress is placed on the acoustic properties of an edifice of this kind bu of what avail are acoustic properties in a church so hot that no one wants to go and hear the sermon? If churches were properly built there would b no excuse for any pastor to snirtlus congregation to a theater. Why not bufMr the church in the flr3t place as comfortable and inviting.-as any theaterT-Churches" -usually cost enough money that-they ought to be the most comfortable and Inviting aud ience rooms In a community, but it is true that as a rule they' are dreaded by the most devout at this season of the year. It would seem that after hundreds of years of effort in church building, no one nas yet Deen found with the cour age to attempt to make a building for purposes of worship that is comfortable ana attractive. It might be a good thing in planning for the new churches that are soon to be built In Wichita to digress a little from the old lines and give the people a church that is really what it ought to be. Wichita Beacon.) IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS. Certain women are storming about the world, and raising a disturbance because, they say. they do not get their rights. Be that as It may, it i certain they have made great stride; since the days when the earth was young. The ancient Israelites made It easy for a man to get a divorce. He acted as judge and complainant, and vhatever be said, tha woman had to stand for. On the other hand, no pro Vision was made for the woman to Etart a divorce proceeding, or get ali lr.ony. The following is sent to the Globe by an attorney, who says he has it on authority that it is an ac curate form of the ancient decree I, Abraham, the son of Benjamin svrnamed Wolff the priest, and at this time dwelling in the city called Ams teiredom, which is situated by the sea side called Taya and by the river Amstel; or if I have any other name, or surname, or my parents, or my place or the place of my parents: by my own free will, without compulsion, do out away, dismiss and divorce thee, my wife, Rebekah, the daughter or Jonah, the Levlte; or if thou hast any other name, or surname, or thy par cnts or thy place,, or the place of thy parents, who wastv heretofore my wire, but now I put thea away, dismiss and divorce thee, so that from this time thou rt in thine own power, and art at thine own disposal, and mayest b married to any other .man whom thou r. leases t; and let no man hinder thee in my name from this day forward and forever: and. lo, thou art free to any man. Let thU be to thee from mo a bill of divorce, an instrument of difmission. and a ;ettt;r of separation according to the laws of Moses and trael. "PEALTHIEL, "The son of Palthiel, witness. CALONYMUS, "The son of Gabriel, witness." Atchison Globe, FROM OTHER PENS THE LURE OF ENGLAND. Quite different from the ridicule, if not open hostility, that America and Americans received from England only a few years ago is the glad hand of friendship that now is being extended across the sea. In view of this altered condition of affairs, we are apt to feel immensely flattered until we seek the reason for the outburst ot British at' fection. Is it the great American dol lar that has bowled over the barriers and pulled down the latch strings? The desire to be let alone appears to be one of his chief reasons for going to England. There, he says, he may move about without an inquisitive public speculating. aa to his purposes and designs. Then, again, he finds a delightful society, which admits brains, position, wealth, and birth on an equal footing. He deplores the fact that New Yorw society has gone money-mad, and expresses himself as having tired of the association alone of those who have no other interests than to attain wealth. This criticism. ineVeed, seems well founded, and even-' though we might accuse England with ulterior motives in enticing our millionaires, we cannot blame the latter ror Duying witn ineir money what they like best. The only pity Is that they who have the power to revolutionize American society should desert it for ready-made condt tions that might be effected at home witl. comparatively little effort. They might find in Washington just sucn a social structure as they admire in London. There is no snobbishness here, and the cosmopolitan personnel of the Capital's society Is democratic enough to welcome any man who cares to enter, if he has brains and breed ing. Washington Post. AMERICAN'S "as" EMIGRANTS. We are impatient with those immi grants who maintain their native ways of living and thought witnm our Dor ders. May It not be that in the Can adian Northwest the Canadian-born look with distrust upon the Americans recently settled there? A traveler wrote tnat tnj saaaest men and women he had ever met were the American exiles who were trying to be gay in Paris. The farmers who have gone into Canada to till the lands all but given them will not have oc casion to know the sadness of the exile. They will be too busy. Their work will save them, will protect them, from the grief the banished feel. But as these farm people grow older they will have the leisure to dwell upon their relations to the folk about them and to the institutions under which they live. It is a characteristic of the American to compare the things he sees abroad with those at home to the disadvantage of the foreign. And those who have settled in Manitoba and Alberta, being as American as any of us, are hardly likely to lose that habit. Toledo Blade. THE PITCHER.

It is now reported that the first of iue Bieerame airships which are to run oetween .rarls and the provinces is io leave sartrouville, near Paris, some time this month for Meamr. nurim. the Nancy exhibition she may make trips around that town. It is evident from all the prices of aeriai voyages quoted so far that only the rich among us will be able to afford them for some time to come. From 2 to 4 is mentioned by the president of the aerial league as the probable cost of a trip of 30 miles oniy. it is true that airship sheds (or docks, to be more consistent) cost not less than 2,000, and may cost well on to 5,000, and that an airship herself costs from 10,000 to 16.000. and may very likely soon have an accident which will cost, much more to put right. But railway stations and rail way trains, and especially railway unes, cost muctt more than this to build. We were all thinking" that Lucerne was to have the first airship service connected with a German town, but now it seems that France is to .have tnis nonor. The Lucerne-German service is not promised until next summer, while the Paris to Fontaine- Dieau, Rouen, Lyons, Bordeau Pau, or rsancy services are promised at any rate, some or them by Septem- uer next. There will be five steerahlA n.lr ships of the Patrie type, which will carry irom eignt to twenty passeng ers each, besides crew. Paris will be their port and the docks will be at Issy. There will be four lines, one toward the east, via Rheims (three of the stations of which are said to be practically ready), one toward the southeast (the stations on which are not yet begun), a third toward the southwest to Orleans. Tours, Bor deaux, and Pau, and a fourth to the west of Kouen via Sartouville, which has a station already. The first air ship is ready and has been named the Ville de Nancy. Queen. Bolivia's Isolation. Military operations which offer even faint hope, of successful outcome re quire ample supply of provisions. and munitions of war. How can Bolivia get Its supplies? The southeastern route through Argentina would, of course, De closed. The northern en trance via the Amazon and the Beni rivers is, of course, impossible for milr ltary purposes. The western entrance, via Peru, would in every probability be unavailable by reason of Peruvian unfriendliness to Bolivia and by Pe ruvian relations with Bolivia's oppon ent. The route through Chile, by rail from Antofagasta, might possibly be open, but Chile's consent to the use of it would probably strain, if it did not break, relations between Chile and Argentina. Bolivia would be practi cally isolated, so far as the world's markets are concerned. It Is ap proachable only by crossing the ter ritory of other nations Argentina, Brazil, Peru, or Chile. A century ago the Buenos Ayreans essayed control of Bolivia and failed disastrously, but the conditions of that time were wide ly different from those of today. War between Argentina and Bolivia would almost certainly involve all the nations of South America, with the possible exception of Ecuador, Colom bia, and Venezuela, and result in an entire change in the national bound ary lines. Brazil and Chile would be arrayed against Peru and Argentina, with Bolivia, Uruguay, and Paraguay striving to avoid absorption -by the victors. The possible and, in fact, probable consequences of war between Bolivia and Argentina offer a "very unpleasant subject for consideration. It Is Inconceivable that Argentina should have been preparing for, or that it is about to begin, a campaign of such magnitude, a campaign that would Involve a continent and serious" ly disturb the entire world. New York Sun. Changes In the Human Form. The tailors and shoe dealers of Lon don have accumulated some interest ing statistics on the change in the fig ures of men and women. According to the tailors, there are two new types of men; that is, as regards their fig ures. One is the man who plays a great deal of golf or indulges largely In other forms of outdoor sports; this man is growing taller and slimmer. On the other hand, the man who has given up walking and horseback rid ing for the motor car is becoming prosaically fat; during the last two years there has been such a waist de velopment that the makers of ready- made clothing have been forced to add an extra half Inch to the waists of trousers. For the athletic type of man the average chest measurement is 38 Inches, with waist of 34 while the motoring man, though shorter, de mands a 36-lnch waist. As for the ladles, it is a delicate subject, but the dealers feel the truth must prevail, and they reluctantly ad mit that their customers' feet are much larger han they used to be. Two years ago the average was No. 4, and No. 2 was kept in stock; this latter size has now been given up and No. 8 has appeared, while the average has in creased to No. 5. If this has been accomplished in two years, who can guess the changes to come? Boston Globe. More Evidence Required.

As -Wykoff entered the" parlor, a young man who was warming his hands at the fire looked up. "Hello, Wykoff,". he said, languidly. "It's you, of course." Wykoff did not seem any better pleased at the meeting than did the speaker. "Humph!" he remarked dis gustedly. "I might have known I'd find you here. Meredith." It's natural,", returned the other, with a gesture of resignation. "I can't for the life of me see how you can af ford to neglect business this way, old man. Maybe, though, you have seen Forbes this morning." Wykoff shook his head. He did not seem in the least interested. "He va looking for you," went c-n Meredith. "I don't know what he wanted, but I imagine from his manner that it was something important. He said he would be at his office until 5 o'clock. It's nearly that now, and you had better hurry If you want to see him." "Forbes can wait. Look here, Mer edith! I'm tired of seeing you hanging around here all the time. I wish Before Wykoff could explain what he wished, a girl swept into the room, holding out her hands in grave wel come. "How do you do, Mr. Wykoff?" she said quietly. "How do you do. Mr. Meredith? I seem to be honored this afternoon. Will you ring for the tea, Mr. Meredith? Sit down, Mr. Wykoff. You look troubled. I hope nothing is wrong." Her tones were calm; any one could see that she took little interest in the affairs of others. "Wykoff isn't troubled. Miss Curtis! That's his way of expressing extrava gant joy. He was just saying how pleased he was to see me here!" The girl glanced at Wykoff, who was plainly seeking for some retort and finding none. Airy persiflage was not in his line. "You must not tease Mr. Wykoff," she said, gently. "When is that sister of yours coming to see me, Mr. Wykoff? I want The sentence was never finished, for with a rush a small girl bounded into the room and flung herself on Wy koff. "Oh! Mr. Wykoff!" she cried. "Come right out and sculp my snow man. You promised you would." She caught his hand and tried to drag him to the door. "Bessie! Let Mr. Wykoff alone," in terposed Miss Curtis. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself." A gleam came into Meredith's eyes. "Out of the mouths of babes and suck lings," he quoted gayly. "Positively you are getting quite a reputation, Wykoff! Keep on and maybe you'll get a real client some day somebody who wants to be 'sculped' In marble, to adopt Miss Bessie's charmingly ex pressive word." Wykoff winced. No one knew bet ter than he that so far he had not made a moneyed success in his art; sculptors have little honor in western America. He had known Meredith all his life, and, being tongue-tied him self, had greatly admired the other's glibness until he himself had become a target for it. He hesitated now, angry all through, but fearing if he spoke at all, he might say more than ha intended. Little Bessie, however, had no such scruples. Deliberately she fixed her eyes on Meredith. "I don't like you," she deposed positively. "Bessie!" Miss Curtis was scandal ized. "I can't help it, .Sister-'Jtfary. I don't like him. So there!" She turned to Wykoff. "You promised," she reiter ated wistfully, "and I've got a snow pile all built and Reluctantly Wykoff rose. "I really did promise. Miss Curtis," he declar ed, "and I suppose I must keep my word." He spoke sorrowfully, for he hated to leave the field to his rival, even though all he could do was to stand and take punishment and pretend he a half more for goods than Is neces llked it. sary. just to be contrary. But if Meredith expected to profit Most women would be satisfied if by the other's disappearance he reck- they could make themselves look as oned without his host or his hostess. eood as the photographer can. Miss Curtis talked on in the grave, ..i i ilflrrthn nim no chance" to bring up the q1Tes: tion wnicn lay nearest to his some nearest what sophisticated heart the question ne nact come resolved to ask before he left.. Finally, when the conversation began to languish, she rose, declarine Liit&L Lim tiuuse was aDominaoiy nor. She insisted on going out to see what Mr. Wykoff had done with the snow man. Meredith had no demur. Wise in the ways of women, he knew better than to try to force the conversation. In the girl's existent mood he did not fear Wykoff, and welcomed rather than otherwise the chance to break some shafts of wit on what he deemed that gentleman's sluggish intellect. Wykoff, he thought, afforded an ex cellent foil for his own brilliancy. When he and Miss Curtis reached the front door neither Wykoff nor lit tle Bessie was in sight. A line of footsteps, however, led across the snow to where a clump of evergreens stood in the corner of the lawn, and toward these the girl led the way. Her feet sank soundlessly In the deep carpet of snow, and they rounded a bush and came upon Wykoff before he heard them. Bessie had disappeared, and Wykoff was alone for the moment. And yet not alone. Before him rose a splendid figure the figure of a goddess or of a woman of heroic size, on whose ex quisite features, smoother and fairer than ever sculptor cut from living marble, rested a look that made Mary Curtis catch her breath the look of one who, capable of all things, was yet imprisoned in an icy shell from which no lover's kiss had called her.

Eighty-five men and women spent the night in the Mer er street police station, following one of the most exciting riots Broadway has witnessed in many years. The neckwearers strikers endeavored to call out the employes of a firm at Thir teenth street and Broadway. A fight started in which more than -00 men. women and girls took part. Police re serves were called into action ana transfer the many prisoners to the po lice station, it was necessary to call patrol wagons from a half dozen differ ent precincts. Durirg the riotmer women s an girls" waists were torn Into shreds an scores of men and women were badly beaten and bruised. In the confusion a hone ran away, dashed into a Lex ir.gton avenue electric car and was so badly injured that the police were com peiled to shoot the animal. A number of shots were fired aiu this led to a wild rumor that the police were firing on the crowd and caused increased confusion. Broadway was blocked to traffic for half an hour, but the firing of the shots, presumably by presons who desired to call more police, had the effect of dispersing the crowd which scattered in all directions.

Woman Gives an Exhibition Broncho Busting. of Mrs. Root, nee Bostrom, Wlio Kept Her Engagement bet-ret. The following day indirectly. through mutual friends, the bride's relatives learned of the marriase. By this time Mr. and Mrs. Root were at Maple Hill where they had planned to spend a few days camping and fish ing with friends. They are there at present. Mr. Root is on a vacation. Their return Is expected some time this week. Thy will make their home at 1417 Kansas avenue, where preparations for housekeeping have been made by the groom. The out side of the house has been decorated with appropriate mottos by the friends of the young couple. Xone of the relatives of either can understand why the engagement had been kept secret as there would have been no objections to the marriage. The bride Is the daughter of C. J. Bostrom. employed in the Santa Fe blacksmith shos. She is also the niece of Mrs. C. F. Gustafson of 229 Western avenue. She has been keep ing house for the family. Her mother is dead. Her sister is employed as a tester by the Continental Creamers' com pany. The bride's chum. Miss Hazel Richter. of 119 Topeka avenue, works for the same company. From Miss Richter, Miss Bostrom first heard of her sister's marriage. "I never suspected that my sister and Mr. Root were going to be married when they did, although I thought it was possible that they might be engaged, as at one time Hilda threw out a strong hint that she might not be at home much longer," said Miss Bostrom to a visitor this morning. "Just the other evening we were sitting on the porch and chatting. Hilda was planning what she would do after her return home from the fishing trip and never said a word j about getting married. Monday evening she told me she was going to the band concert. Mr. Root came af ter her and they left the house. I went to the concert also but did not ses her there. She came home from the concert and merely said she had enjoyed the music. "The next morning she left for Maple Hill where she was to join a fishing party. That noon Hazel Richter. my chum, said she wanted to to talk to me. She looked very ser ious. We left our friends and then she told me that my sister had mar ried Mr. Root the evening before and that she had informed her mother about it just before she went on the fishing trip with the request that father and I should be told.

I placed the entire matter in the hands of my law yer, and if he has taken such accion I should think he would have cabled me to that effect. Any talk about a reconciliation be tween myself and Mr. Hackeet is futile." Salina, Kan., Aug. 19. Have you ever heard of "The Military Order of the Serpent?" If you have not you should visit the camp of the United Spanish and Philippine War Veterans when they met at Salina, Kan., on September 2 and 3. "The Military Order of the Ser pent" was instituted in Ohio several years ago. Only members of the Spanish War veterans are eligible. The society recently issued a charter to some of the former members of Company B, Twentieth Kansas, in Kansas City. Kan., and this "lair. as the local lodges are called, will put on the "work" at Salina. They are to be aided by a team from the Missouri lair, and it Is promised that the great snake "Khatee Puna," will be brought. This is the only military or der of its kind and has its origin among the mysteries of the Tagalos of the Philippine Islands. This will be the tenth annual re union of the Fighting Twentieth and the second annual encampment of the United Spanish War Veterans. The Twenty-first and Twenty-second Kan sas regimental reunions will also be held at the same time. The United Spanish War Veterans is an organiza tion similar to the Grand Army of the Republic and now has about 50,000 members. col. Ed. C Little, commander, ex pects about three hundred men to attend the reunion. There are four teen local organizations of the United Spanish War veterans in Kansas, Those at Kansas City, Atchison, Hutchinson, Independence, Holton, Marysville, Abilene. Salina and Be- loit have been organized in the last year. Another is being organized at the United States Military Home at South Leavenworth. There is a lo cal organization at Fort Leavenworth composed of men now serving in the regular army and John L. Corbet is commander. A feature of the reunion this year will be the attendance of the Min nesota company of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment. This is composed of the Minnesota boys who ran away from their own regiment, which was doing, police duty in Manila, and found the Twentieth Kansas boys at Caloocan. A. H. Giles of Kansas City, Kan., assistant surveyor of Wyandotte county, is to conduct the Minnesota boys to Salina. and they -will be ac corded a glad welcome. They are to be elected to membership In the Twentieth Kansas association, and every man will get a "peso and cer- vesa bueno." At the reunion a special effort is to be made to recall the memories and check up to history the records of the men who died In action. The present officers of the Twen tieth Kansas association are: E. C. Little, Kansas City, Kan., president. i u. f?onwartz. sauna, secretary. John M. Padget. Salina. treasurer.

Wichita. Kan., Aug. 19. After a thorough investigation of the situation at the stock yards in this city. State Live Stock Comrr.iss:oner Mercer chang ed his recent ruling concerning the handling of cattlo from provisional ter ritory in Oklahoma and the Panhandle, and it is again possible for the stock men of Wichita to handle these cat tle. As a result of this ruling hun dreds of carloads of cattle will be handled here that otherwise would go to points cut of the state. Mr. Mercer made a ruling in June that cacti coming from "provisional" territory that had not been dipped ac cording to the Kansas law, could not be unloaded in clean pens in Wichita and soid here, though they could be unloaded and fed. and then shipped elsewhere. This ruling went into ef fect about three weeks ago ana it was soon seen that it was a discrimination in favor of points east of Kansas, where the ca:tie were taken, sold and re turned to the state. There is a certain territory in Okla homa and Texas that is considered neither absolutely "clean" nor infected territory. This is called "provisional" territory and lies between the fever j zone and the "clean" territory. It is the cattle from this territory that were affected by the ruling which has now been abrogated. s

About one year ago there was a road through the sand hills south of Garden City that was practically impassable for heavy loads except with extra help to drag the wagons tnrougn. the sand. A walk of a mile through the sand in that road was far more tiresome to a man accustomed to walking than a 20 mile jaunt along good roads. At the present time a walk along this very same road is no more tiresome nor more difficult than a walk over the best country road in the United States. The roadway is as firm and smooth and hard as a boulevard and it stands heavv traffic. Some years ago the county commissioners oiled a part of the sand hills road. This stretch is a mile long and was done as an experi ment. For months this was the only passable stretch of road through the sand hills region. The road was oiled and dragged, but it required a constant expense for oiling and dragging. Was Built as a Sample I toad. A government engineer and sand hill road expert, W. L. Spoon, went to Gar den City and drove out through a part of the sand hills. He told the people of Garden City that he could build a road through the big hills that would be bet ter than any other road in the county and it would not cost much. Spoon superintended the construction of one eighth of a mile of gypsum clay road that proved so successful that the en tire seven miles through the sand hills, except that part that has been oiled, is made of the gypsum clay materials. This gypsum clay is a deposit found in great quantities in the hills. It is a clay bank but clay In which there is a great amount of gypsum. The clay is taken out when dry and Is in the form of a grainy dirt, something quite similar in appearance to the top dress ing of esphalt as the pavement is be ing laid. The first step In sand hills road building is to scoop out a ditch. the width the road is to be. The sand is removed to a depth of eighteen inches or two feet. Then this trough is filled with the gypsum clay. If pos sible it is well to have a good rain or water on this clay before it is used or much work done on it arter tne ciay is put down. When wet the clay is easily mashed and ground down until it forms a per fectly smooth and waterproof surface, exactly as an oiled macadam road. After being mashed down and thor oughly cut the road is then dragged, harrowed, dragged some more and har rowed and dragced still more. Showers help a great deal building the road, as rain keeps the clay moist and pliable while the work goes on. Crude Oil Is Used as a Binder. After the roadway is harrowed and dragged thoroughly and is nearly smooth it is rolled. Then a light top dressing of sand less than half an incr. thlcK is put on ana men comes tne cheapest of crude oil, a thin coat, just enough to amalgamate the sand parti cles and hold them together. This road is now as hard and nice for motoring as any road to be found In the nest. There is no north and south railroad in the 'Western end of the state. A great deal of hauling in necessary for the country south of Garden City. That sand hills road has been the bane of all freighters. Often they made long de tours to avoid it. Across the prairies south of Garden City the freighters drive anywhere. There are few roads.

Benedict, wife for less than a year of a prominent music instructor, was found unconscious in her home in the exclusive Park Slope section of Brooklyn, are puzzling the police. Mrs. Benedict is in a hospital unconscious and for only a moment has she been able to speak and then hot in any way to dissipate the mystery. For seve.ral days the neighbors had observed that the windows and front door of the Benedict home had been open, that neither Mr. Benedict or his wife had been seen, and that no one responded to the ringing of the door bell. The neighbors discussed the matter until it was decided to inform the police, and then two officers went to the house and found it open as it had been for a number of days and nights. The first and second floors were deserted and the furniture and fittings were in disorder. Rugs were piled in corners, cnairs were Knocked over and cabinets sprawling on the floor. In a third floor bedroom, the police found Mrs. Benedict lying on the floor under the bed. only- her feet protruding. The woman was half dressed and was unconscious. An am bulance surgeon thought that Mrs. Benedict had been without food for several days, but was unable to say why she was unconscious, as, appar ently, there were no marks of violence. Efforts to find Mr. Benedict have so far failed. One neighbor said he was seen leaving the house five days before his wife was found, in company with a younger man and carrying a suit case. Surgeons are endeavoring to restore Mrs. Benedict to consciousness, in the hope that she can explain the mystery which has greatly perturbed this fash ionable locality. DIXXER FOR SHAFFER.

Wood affair which caused a mild sensation In the courts a few weeks ago are rebounding back Into the limelight and the latest action is a suit which was filed in the district court today. Ella S. Burton has sued George N. Johnson, one of the pro prietors of the National hotel, for $7,500 and costs, claiming that the action last June has caused her in jury to reputation, finance and health. Ella S. Burton is a lecturer for the Farmers" Educational Co-Operative union and she also writes articles for magazines and publications. She lives with her husband on a seven-acre tract called the Burton Homestead on Seward avenue. Last June George H. Johnson "wickedly, maliciously and without cause" charged Mrs. Burton with disturbing the peace of Charles L. Wood. Mr. Wood and Mrs. Burton had been having trouble over the pos session of the homestead. She was arrested at this time and was in jail several hours before she could procure bond. In her suit Mrs. Burton claims that the newspapers all over the state of Kansas took up the story and the publicity of the thing Injured her lecture and literary work to such an extent that she became em barrassed, humiliated and disgraced. She claims that this damaged her name and reputation to a great ex tent. As an addition to this Mrs. Burton claims that the officers came after her late in the evening and she was not clothed in a proper wardrobe to ap pear in the open air. As a result she took a bad cold and suffered severe and permanent injury to her health. As a result of all this Mrs. Burton wants $5,000 for damages, $2,500 for pecuniary and exemplary causes and the costs. E. D. McKeever represents Mrs. Burton as attorney. PLEA FOR THE TOWN PUMP. Village- of Garfield Asks Immunity From Dr. Crumbine. Garfield-on-the-Arkansas is a poet ical name for a town and this parti cular town, located in Pawnee county, is worthy of its name. Garfield, ac cording to N. O. Waymlre of that place who has written a letter to Dr. Crumbine of the state board of health, has a town pump that has done Its duty to man and beast there for a Quarter of a century. Now the town is worried over the provisions of the individual drinking cup law which goes Into effect the first of next month and its probable effect on the con tinued usefulness of this pump. Mr. Waymire declares that they they "have changed cups at the pump every time Bryan has run for presi dent, and sometimes oftener." He seems to think that this activity and interest applied to the care of the pump and its apparatus is sufficient to admit the pump within the good graces of the pure food law and asks the doctor for an endorsement ot these efforts to preserve the health of Garfield and vicinity. r "It is the well that has 'made "Gar field famous." writes Mr. Waymire. "and any information or criticism or endorsement of our efforts in sup port of the pure food laws will b gratefully received." Dr. Crumbine is in a quandary. He realizes that the patriotic citizenship of Garfield have changed the drinking cups at the town well many times in the last fourteen years, and yet they are now standing pat on past efforts and taking no steps at all to install individual drinking cups. It 13 likely, though, that the doctor will grant a special dispensation in favor of the Garfield well and only insist that the board of trustees keep tab on Bryan's political activities and be prepared to supply a new cup at a moment's notice.

They say that Kansas is being over run with "bag worms." If this has any connection with the poor fellows who are "holding the sack" it means that more agony is coming. Through a typographical error in last evening's State Journal advertise ment, the wrong address was given the Capital Hardware company. The cor rect addrets is 706 Kansas avenue. A young Topeka man claims that he saw a little girl playing with huge snake in one of the Topeka parks last night. Many men have seen snakes but this takes the prize. The motor car service on the Santa Fe is proving popular notwithstanding the fact that the big motor car was on the hospital list last night and unable to make the trip this morning. -Engineer Rosers has, condemned several car loads of paving brick which were to be used on the Morris avenue paving. The fault lies with the Fort Scott firm which supplied the material, not with the cqntractors. Through the kindness of Secretary Crumbine of the state board of health and Deputy County Attorney Atchison the hotel keepers will have another chance to fix up their fire escapes. But that guillotine is still poised in mid air. The river is so low that little boys and girls are wading out to the sand bars that stretch down the middle of the stream. There is only one chan nel in which the motor boat en thusiasts are able to direct their crafts. Topeka is well provided for circuses in September.

Sash Strikes Back Kansas City Lawyers. at A case was filed In the district court today that is intended in an indirect way to place in a public light the al leged illegitimate business of the law firm of Edwards Edwards of Kan sas City. This firm it is claimed buys and sells garnishments and in some cases attempts to force a settlement of a claim already satisfied and thus defraud the poor working man who finds it almost an impossibility to pay his bills of necessities. The case filed today pleads for an injunction enjoining the Santa Fe railway from honoring a garnishment which is claimed by a certain John C. Tutt, Thomas H. Edwards, Vernon L. Edwards and J. C. Caldwell. It also asks that the gentlemen mentioned be enjoined from carrying on further proceedings with the justice of peace of Jackson county, Missouri. It seems that Norman E. Sash, a steam fitter for the Santa Fe working in Topeka, had a board bill with a man named Schoach. The bill amounted to about $60. Then the gar nishment papers were prepared and taken up with the Santa Fe. Tho railway company honored them and held up the$56.92 due Sash in wages. The law firm in Kansas City bought up the claim and then attempted to collect. Now Sash claims that he settled the board bill with his landlord a long time ago by doing some plumbing for mm. .He also claims through his at torney, Edward A. Austin, that the Kansas City law firm manufacture the name of "John C. Tutt" and the whole claim Is a fraud from beginning to end. The outcome of the case will have considerable to do with the alleged unlawful business of the Kansas City attorneys. TO MEET ZEPPELIN. OrTille Wright and German Aviator to Come Together. Berlin.

Fellows of Topeka, who was a delegate to the Transmississippi congress at JJenver 13 from the Den ver Post. s. a. a eiiows, may be classed as the beauty of the convention. This gentleman drifted in from California yesterday. He is second vice president of the congress and was genuinely peevish because he hadn't been able to find a room. 'No hotels in town,' he explained right in the wondering gaze of Sam Dutton. "No; Los An geles is the only convention city In this country. Hundreds of hotels, all lit up like the capital city of the Apocalyphse whatever its name was, or is.' Mr. Fellows, who Is a good one. wearing his flannels and ice-creamy lingerie, with the grace of a Wenzel hero, was trying to keep up his cour age like a frightened boy who whis tles in the dark. He had hoped great things for Los Angeles at this congress. He had written to the cham ber of commerce of that city that it should get busy, send the strongest delegation it could hand-pick to Den ver that the next congress might be taken to Los Angeles. But Mr. Fel lows, good sort that he is, who never counts nis money, xorgot to put re turn stamps in these three yoop-it-up letters to his chamber of commerce, which seems to be first cousin to the old maiden lady C. of C. of Denver. When he got here and made his boasts that he knew where the next congress would meet and asked for his man to prove what was coming, there wasn't a single letter In .-the bunch bearing a L. O. C. of C. label.'' Beverly, Mass.,- Aug.- 19. President Taft is giving "some thought to the many speeches to be made on his long western and southern trio and also to his annual message to con. gress. The president has thought out the general plan of his message; he has several cabinet Officers at work on the details of certain phases of it and he will not take up the work of assembling the document until a week or so before congress is to gather. The message is not likely to be a ions one. The personnel of the president's traveling party has been completed While the trip promises to develop into the longest ever made by a presi dent, the party unquestionably will be the smallest. John Hays Hammond. Captain Archibald W. Butt, military aide; Wendell W. Mischler, assist ant secretary; Dr. J. J. Richardson of Washington, D. C; James Sloan, jr., and L. C. Wheeler of the secret service and Major Arthur Brooks, the president's confidental messenger, who just now is fighting with the red army of invasion about Boston, will accom pany the president. Six newspaper men will make the entire tri;. The party will travel in two private cars. It practically was decided today to include Ogden, Utah, in the list of stopping places; This change will necessitate a curtailment of the stay in Salt Lake city and was arranged in accordance with a request from the ."tah committee. The president will reach Salt Lake City late in the after noon of Friday, September 24. On the way to Salt Lake it has been ar ranged that there shall be a stop oC one hour or more at Provo, Utah. The president is due in Butte, Mon day morning,, September 27, and the stay in Ogden wil probably be on the Sunday preceding.

The above named hotel3 In Topeka will be prosecuted by the county at torney this evening. Warrants have been sworn out and signed by the fire marshal. -The hotels -will be prose cuted on account of their negligence in obeying the state fire laws in relation to proper fire precautions on hotels. These hotels have been informed of the new laws six times by Fire Mar shal Wilmarth and also by the coun ty attorney. They were given a chance by Deputy County Attorney Atchison to make contracts and or ders for fire escapes, gongs and the like, but they refused to do so. Thus they will be taken into court and if they continue to be obstreperous their doors will be closed at once. This decision was reached this after noon by Attorney Atcnison arier a conference this morning with Chief Wilmarth and Secretary Crumbme or the state board of health. Dr. Crum bine was informed that not a hotel in the city had conformed with the law but most of them had made arrange ments for the proper precautions, tie then recommended to the county at torney that all that had failed to make any atttempt to obey the law should be prosecuted. Mr. Atchison got into communica tion with all of the hotel owners at once and he obtained the above result four of the hotels in the city had not made and did not intend to make any attempts toward me Keeping the state laws. The hotel men over the city were a fiusy let today signing contracts, mail ing plans and arranging tneir nos- eiries for the installment of fire es- apes and proper precautions according o the" state laws as passed by the hist "egislature. Fire Marshal Wilmarth urned in his report to tne county ai- orney last night and from early this -norning the attorney at the court house has been investigating the coa lition of the hotels over the city in an ffort to determine their fate. It was planned originally to prosecuLe verv hotel in the city if the escapes vere not in condition this morning but 'liter a long conference in the office of he county attorney and after the ad vice of Secretary Crumbine of the state "-oard of health it was decided to giv -additional time to all owners who have iroceeded in some manner for the safety of their buildings. There are many hotels in the ci.y which are now being equipped and here are others waiting for their turn. In some instances the houses have or dered their supplies but they have not been received. Three of the owners cimc to the county attorney's office this afternoon with bills of lading showing that the material for the es capes had been supped and were on the way. WOMAN IN COMMAND.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNALS-THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1903. .1AY BE CONTEMPT Dr. W. S. Llndsey Cited to Ap pear Before Judge Dana. Charged With Keeping Insane Patients at "Cottages." SATS IT IS UXJUST. TVIll Try to Show He Hasn't Tiolatrd Injunction. Mas Sent Noisv Patients to Kansas City. Dr. W. S. Lindsay, the head of the cottages for the insane at Christ's hosnlta.1 has been cited by Judge A. W. Dana of the district court for contempt. In an order issued by the Judsre. Dr. Lindsay is required to ap near before the court September 7, to show why he should not be pun ished for contempt and to explain the charges of continuing to main tain the insane cottages against the eeace of the nubile and against the iniunction issued on June 26. Thn annlication for an order to punish Dr. Lindsay for contempt of court was filed by Ferry uoran on behalf of the state, the attorney gen eral and the county attorney and af ter an affidavit sworn cut by tu. J! Marshall. In his complaint Mr. Marshall says that the disturbances caused by the Insane patients at the hospital have been carried on in the same manner as they were before the injunction was issued last June. He claims that he has witnessed a number of dis turbances and that he has been re liably Informed by others that many other people have had their peace disturbed through the cries, screams, veils and escape of the patients. Mr. Marshall also adds that he has in formed Dr. Lindsay of the condition of affairs and other people have In formed him but their complaints were not heeded by the doctor. Dr. Lindsay was enjoined from keeping noisy patients of the insane variety in his hospital, this injunction following a series of complaints which were first taken to the police court and later to the district court. The first charge was on the basis of a city ordinance which stated that an Insane hospital should only be lo cated at least a certain distance from the city limits or the residential sec tions. This ordinance was found to be invalid and the insane cottages at Christ's were then declared a nui sance and on these grounds the In junction was allowed. When seen by a State Journal re porter this morning Dr. Lindsay was inclined to feel that the charges against him were unjust. He will prepare an answer to Judge Dana at once. In speaking of the alleged dis turbances Dr. Lindsay said: "Of course these charges seem rather unjust to me. Since the trial I have sent a large number of pa tients away from the cottages and whenever I found that a patient was going to cause trouble I sent him to Kansas City at once. No patients were taken by the hospital who show ed signs of -iolence or who were In sane ip the more serious degrees. When we did take a patient and found later that he screamed, yelled and otherwise disturbed the neigh borhood we sent him away at once and the people in this residential dis trict have known this. I have told them a number of times that I had sent away all of the annoying pa tients and they were aware of the fact. "This man Lindell who jumped through a screen window and ran through the streets was not insane when he was taken in. In fact he was very quiet at all times except when he had that overpowering desire to breok away and go home. He is harmless and was overcome by the heat whi'e working. He is perfectly sane at this time and feels very sorry over his ac tions. He has offered to pay any Jam ages that might have been caused by his actions. "To my own knowledge I have not violated the injunction and was noi a wan. that I was carrying on jffie work i v. t he hospital against the wishes of the people who live in this district. I have always tried to keep only the quiet patients ana tne extremely hot weather has made some of them nerv ous and restless. Every city of this size in the country has such a hospital and In Kansas City, for instance, they are. situated in the best part of the city facing the best street in the city. I nill answer Judge Dana to this ef fect." List of Complaints. The list of complaints as filed with the petition state specifically the time, place and action of the disturbances. The list is written as follows: "That on Sunday. June 27. the day following the rendition of the Judg ment, at about 5:30 or 6 o'clock In the morning, and also in the afternoon of said day. screams and yells emanated from some person or persons confined In the cottages and were of such char acter as to disturb the peace and quiet of said community. "That on Wednesday, June 30, at about 8:30 in the evening, the peace and quiet of the community was again disturbed by the screams and cries of persons confined In th? cottages. "That on Thursday. July 15. a similar disturbance occurred about 5:30 a, m. to the great annoyance and disturbance of .he peace and quiet of the com munity. That a similar disturbance oc curred on Thursday, July 22. and again on Thursday. July 29. that the shrieks creams and yells of the persons con fined in the cottages on the last named date were heard by a great many peo ple who reside In the community. "That a similar disturbance occurred on Saturday. July 31. and again on Thursday, August 5. at about 6:40 a. m. "That another similar disturbance occurred on Saturday, August 7, 1909, at 2 o'clock p. m. "That on Monday. August 9. 1909, at 7 p. m., a similar disturbance oc curred; and that on Saturday, the 14th day of August. 1909. the cottages were so negligently conducted that one Edward Lindell, who was uncon trollable, was permitted to Jump through the screens of the second story of the east cottage and to es cape Into the streets In his night clothes: that he was chased through the neighborhood and caught about one block south. and two blocks east of the cottages on Tenth street; that this escape In the manner and dress aforesaid,- and his pursuit through the said streets, greatly disturbed the peace and quiet of the community and caused great fear and anxiety on the part of the women and children re siding in said neighborhood, for their personal security and safety. "That said Dr. W. S. Lindsay con tinues to manage and control the cot tages and the occupants thereof In I the -same manner aa he did prior to1 the bringing of this action, and prior to the judgment .therein; and con tinues to receive and care for in said cottages persons who are of unsound mind, persons who are mentally de ranged and persons who are uncon trollable, in the same manner as he did prior to the bringing of this ac tion, or to the entry of Judgment therein. In direct contempt and viola tion of the positive order of this court." The petition says in closing: "Wherefore, The plaintiff prays that the court issue its order requir ing said defendant. Dr. W. S. Lind say, to show cause why he should not, be punished for contempt or court; and that upon hearing, said Dr. W. S. Lindsay be found guilty of contempt, and that such punishment be adjudged against him as shall to the court seem proper and just. MONKEYS DEFIED POLICE Scratched and Fought When Master Was Injured. Chicago. Aug. 19. Two monkeys de fied the efforts of three policemen who tried to- dislodge them from the seat of a hand organ grinder s wagon yester day afternoon after their agea master, Tony Gondrava, and his wife, Eliza beth, had been Injured by being thrown from the vehicle in a runaway acci dent. With their clothes torn and faces scratched, the bluecoats were forced to retire in disorder. The chattering monkeys then rode home, in triumph. still on the seat of the wagon, which the policemen, as a last resort, towed at the rear of a patrol wagon. AUTO STRUCK BY A TRAIN. Party of Six Have a Miraculous Escape i Tom ucatn. Wamego. Kan.. Aug. 19. William Julien, a farmer living a half mile south of this place, while automobiung with his wife and a party of four friends suffered the misfortune of hav ing his car struck by a Rock Island freight train going forty miles an hour, at a crossing about a mile west of Wa baunsee. The accident occurrtcl at about 8:30 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Julien had left his home an hour or so earlier with his wife, MI33 Zella Perine and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Burk holder and baby, all neighbors of the Ju liens, In his car. The crossing where the accident occurred is a dangerous one. since the trains come around a sharp curve and appear in sight only a few hundred feet from the road. Mr. Julien heard the train approaching too late to stop the machine. He threw on all of the power and attempted to pass ahead of the train. The front of his machine cleared the track, but the rear was struck by the engine. Mr. Burkholder. seelr- thaf a col lision was inevitable, jumped from the front seat of the car and landed un hurt. Mrs. Julien and Miss Ferine stood up in the back of the car and came out of the accident without a scratch. Mrs. Burkholder. however, could not do likewise and save her baby. She sat in the rear seat motion less. When the engine struck tne ma chine the rear seat was torn off and thrown twenty feet Into a ditch. Mrs. Burkholder and her baby were carried with it and in some miraculous way were unhurt when picked up. Mr. Julien stayed with his machine and es caped also. McM CLLEN IS EXONERATED. Emporia Man Freed From the Charge 01 wiie .nuraer. Emtioria. Kan.. Aug. 19 W. H. McMullen of Neosho Rapids, charged with the murder of his wife, who died from morphine poisoning August 8. was exonerated from the charge and the case- dismissed in Justice of the Peace D. A. Dryer s court. The point which made the continu ance of the hearing unnecessary was based upon the testimony or .Dr. J. jr. Hughes and Dr. S. H. Reser of Hart ford, who were called to the McMul len home after Fuller had prescribed for Mrs. McMullen and had given her a quarter grain dose of morphine to allay her suffering, that this was not an excessive dose and that, death re sulted from a constitutional disease, whose evil effects morphine merely precipitated. After this evidence, which seemed most conclusive, the trial was brought to a sudden ending. When the Judge announced the dis missal of the defendant, Mr. McMullen was surrounded by his neighbors and friends who were here from Neosho Rapids for the trial, and a general round of handshaking and congratula tion ensued. The professional habits in the giving of medicine, particular ly potent drugs such aa morphine, the idiosyncrasies peculiar to certain con stitutions against the administering of such drugs, and the physical condition of Mrs. McMullen. were the points most thoroughly elaborated, and the conclusion reached from these made further' evidence inexpedient. Dr. Fuller is freed from any blame in the matter, and from any indiscretion in administering medicine. ENDORSES IX1IANA PliAN. Head of Prison Physicians Associa tion Delivers His Annual Address. Seattle, Wash., Aug.' 19. The In diana plan of preventing the procrea tion of imbeciles and confirmed crim inals was heartily approved of by Daniel Phelan of Kingston, Canada, in his annual address as president of the Prison Physicians' association be fore the American Prison association here today. Ir. Phelan said: "Not only do I suggest the adoption of energetic means to lessen the num ber of the already existing criminals and degenerates, but also the re moval as much as possible of the remote sources of the evil. Immoral literature, plays, exhibitions, pictures and such like without fall have an evil effect upon the young mind and especially upon naturally weak ones." Dr. Theodore Cooke, of Baltimore, read a paper on "the advisability of laws compelling the examination of all prisoners before trial, by a physician." The delegates spent the afternoon at the world's fair. At 6 p. m.. they will be guests of Governor M. E. Hay of Washington at an Informal dinner at the fair.

It found that 22 out o the 32 hotels of the city had failed to comply with the law in every detail and the names of the delinquents were timed over to the county attorney. In a number of cases the failure to com ply with the law was due to the fail ure to receive Eunnlies ordered from the manufacturers in a reasonable length of time on account of a rush in business.

FROM THE STRIKE AT McKEE'S 5 f. la 04 NEW DRAFTING RULE Players Repurchased by Option Must j Report Immediately. j Cincinnati, O., Aug. 19. The national baseball commission has adopted a new rule to cover what rule 36 failed to do as it had been shown that the old rule can be and has been evaded. The new rule 51 is: "Whenever a major league club has sold a player to a minor league club; urith can nntlnn V. 1 l option has been exercised by the major league club selling the player and the same club then sells the same player a second time on a straight sale and then repurchases the player, the pur chased player must report to the major league club on or before the 23rd of August and if such players do not re port they will be subject to major or minor league draft, during the regular drafting season, from the club with which they are found playing." As an illustration the Brooklyn club last year sold Finleyson to the Brock ton club with an option to repurchase, which was exercised. Under the rules this player could not be sold this yeat, by Brooklyn, the latter retaining an option to repurchase. The records show that this year he was sold out right' and again repurchased by Brook lyn. In this case the player will have to report on August 23, or be subject to draft. T0AYS MARKET ItEPORTS Chicago. Aug. 19. WHEAT Foreign grain markets showed little response to day to the sharp bulge in wheat prices here yesterday and as the result senti ment in the pit here during the early trading was inclined to bearlshness. Weakness of the northwestern markets also had a depressing effect on the local situation. Trade in general was rather limited. Prices at the opening were c lower to Sc higher, September being at $1.03 to $1.02, and December at 98c to 9Sc. After touching $1.02, the price of September declined to around $1.02 again. December sold off to 97c. The market became weaker as trading progressed, a severe slump at Minneapolis contributing to a large extent to the aownwara trend. Before the decline was checked September had dropped to $1.00 and December to 96ie. The rinse wk weak with September off lc at $1.00 x.vi. ueceraner was down lrjyi?c at 6c. uuniv-urougnt in tne corn belt was still unbroken today and as a result, the price of future deliveries of corn ad vanced beyond yesterday's highest marks. Pit traders and commission houses were eager bidders, but offerings were only moderate. The September option opened unchanged to c higher at 66c to 66c and for a time held within the ODenine causes. Later in the day the market weakened with wheat, September declining to 65c. The close was weak with September off OATS The strength of corn prompted considerable bn viner of oats which fniiuH a firm tone in the market early in the aay. septemDer opened Wa'yic to gCc higher at 39c to 39c and later sold at 3SS39e.
