Test the Club Feature of New Liquor Law. The Topeka club, through its attor neys, John Switzor and Charles Blood Smith, filed its answer today in the supreme court to Attorney General Jackson's ouster suit for alleged vio lation of the state prohibitory law. In its answer the club denies aj-iy and all the allegations of the attorney gen eral. It states as a principle of law that a quo warranto proceedings such as the one to which it now makes re rly will not lie when other remedies are available and makes the point that the attorney general and county at torney of Shawnee county have a suit in me &nawnee aisirict court at nun y'lime against the club for alleged vio lation of the prohibitory law. The club insists that it cannot be made to defend two lawsuits of a simi lar nature at one time and prays the supreme, court to dismiss this suit wim MISSOURI TEACHERS TO K. S. A. C.

State Bank Commissioner .T. X. T)ol- ley today sent out to the state banks of Kansas a circular letter which is in the nature of a reply to the letter sent out a tew days ago by Bailey. Burrow and others appealing to the banks for contributions to pay the expenses of testing tne guaranty law in the courts. Mr. Dolley, in this letter, does not mince his words. He denounces the men who seek to test the guaranty law as its enemies. He calls upon the state bankers to choose whether or not they will support or oppose a law passed for their benefit and for their depositors. He defines clearly the position of his department in this mat ter and he warns the state banks that every dollar they contribute to the Bailey-Burrow fund will be used to break down the guaranty law. The letter in full Is as follows: "To the State Banks of Kansas: "Those opposed to the guaranty law Its rnsts or nostnone the trial of the are putting forth every effort to or- case until after the suit in the district ganize against it.

It gives the details of of Kansas are strongly in favor of. and its organization and character and at liaehed to the answer is an exhibit com posed of the rules and bylaws of th? tlub. all of which it aileges it has lived up to to the letter. It declares that as a club it has never bought or served intoxicants, but that a few of its members (far less than a majority) had lockers in stalled at their own expense and kept intoxicants in these lockers for their own uses and purposes and that these memhrrs bousrht thest liquors themselves and they were shipped di rect to them from outside the state. Further that as there had been no barter or ale of intoxicants within a very large majority of the state banks themselves are strongly supporting it, which has been fully verified by the ap plications to participate tinder the law now on file in this department. "W. J. Bailey. J. R. Burrow, W. H. Burks and C. Q. Chandler have issued a letter addressed to the banks of Kan sas, under date line of August 16, ap pealing to many of the state banks for a large sum of money to assist them in defeating the law under the guise that they wish to learn whether the law is constitutional and legal, but they fully intend to defeat the law if it is at all possible for them to do so. They jsii. uidi at a tnr&v aim u aixenueu the clnh hnildinr and that ns on ly meeting oi tne state ana national oanK the members and owners of the club crt they were elected as a committee. building were allowed to keep liquor there that no law had been violated under the constitution. In its answer the Toneka club state that its membTshi was con posed of 90 resident and 50 non-resident members. It will be remembered that some weeks ago the attorney general se cured an injunction against the To peka club from continuing the use of its locker system and at the same time filed an ouster suit against the corporation in the supreme court. The club had declined to accept the attorney general's interpretation of the constitutionality of the new pro hibition law and had also taken the ground that its locker system was not a violation of the law. All the clubs nnd fraternal organizations in the Mate closed up without a fight when the nptv prohibitory law went into effect last May. but the Topeka club continued until the Injunction was granted against it by Judge Dana of the Shaw-nee district court a short time ago. The case against the Topeka club Is regarded as a test case of the club house law of the state If there has been a large and well at tended meeting of state and nationa bankers for this purpose I have fajled tc learn or it. "I will say that soma- of the.,fitte banks have had a summons served upon them, but I would ad-ise that they do not join the enemies of the law at this time and thereby assist them in breaking down the law. I will be pleased to advise them what steps, if any, to take when the time 1 comes, and it is not necessary for them to do anything until so advised. I "This suit was commenced against the bank commissioner and the state treasurer to test the constitutionality of the law in the state supreme court, the highest court in the state. In con nection with: the suit it was necessary to serve all the banks which had not made application to participate under the guaranty law, for the reason that they might have some interest in the suit. This service of summons and writ will not injure the interests of a single state bank, but it is for the pur pose or giving these banks accurate knowledge of the object of the suit and permit them to assist in defending or opposing the law as they deem best. "It seems to me that we have ar rived at a point where it is necessary for the state banks to choose as to whether they w-ill support the organi aztion which Is assaulting in every way at its command the guaranty law, or whether they will support this de partment and the expressed wish of the people of Kansas, who are their depositors.

"Uncle Joe" Cannon and his "political household." the speaker of the house being: referred to as the medieval monarch and the political czar of congress, came in for a scoring before the Transmississippi congress thi3 morning when former Judge B. B. Belford, of Colorado, sought to show that the commercial congress is dominated by "special in terests." Judge Belford charged that the dele gates to the congress are being herded into convention halls once a year and made to "listen to essays" carefully prepared for the "infantile mind" and then made to vote the action with re gard o public measures planned by the few leaders. "What's the use of 'millions of peo ple west of the Mississippi being rep lesented here, if they have to sit still and be injected with a few spoonfuls of prepared rhetoric? If this is going to continue we may as well quit. 11 we are going to pattern this congress after the fashion of our illustrious na tional house and its political czar let oniebody say so and lay down the rules in black and white." Judge Belford gained his point, for iAs motion that hereafter the rules be amended fo as to give an hour each dav for the free discussion of whatever subject may be uppermost In the mind of the delegate, was adopted. A fight arose in the resolutions com mittee over a resolution presented thi morning by W. G. Stone, of Colorado, commending the work of the nationa forestry bureau under Gifford PUichot There was no discussion or the resolu tion on the floor, but because of tne divided opinion with respect to the re clamation and forestry policies or the present bureau it is possible that 00 jection will be made to any sentlmeti coming from the congress as a whole.

Young Lawyer Found With Two Bullet Wounds Near Heart. Providence, R. I.. Aug. 20. Albert Gerald, a prominent young lawyer, has been found lying in the front yard of his home, 194 Arlington avenue, on the fashionable Kast side, with two bullet wounds, an inch apart, in the region of his heart. Mr. Geralds family was away tor the summer, and it is the theory of the police that he was reading in his library early yesterday wnen ne neara some one prowling about the house and on investigating, came suddenly upon a burglar, who shot nim to avoid capture. Then, the police think, tne burglar dropped the revolver beside the body with the idea of making it appear a case of suicide. HE DOESN'T KNOW. longings, and the damage was com paratively slight.

MOTOR CAR ON DUTY. POLITICALGOSSIP Congressman Murdock Explains Position of Insurgents. Sajs They Had Trying Time in the House. CUT INSURANCE RATE. Commissioner Barnes. Orders Reduction of 12 Per Cent. Does Not Apply to Residence or Farm Property. Congressman 'Victor Murdock In his speech at. Wichita the night of his big reception by his townspeople de clared that his love for Kansas and pilations of figures which have been made have been exclusively along these lines, and the readjustment of tne rates for residences. farm proper ty, churches and school houses, is t subject which will be given the earliest possiote consideration. "I believe that our history does not show where a single legislative enact ment has brought, similar benefits to tne people or the state within so snort a period. This law is the most en lightened insurance legislation ever enacted by any state, and the judg ment of the members of the legisla ture will be fully confirmed long be- tore another session is neid." FIVE HAVE DISAPPEARED Remarkable .Mysterious Ixss of Popu lation at Williamsburg. Williamsburg. Kan.. Aug. 20. Five persons have mysteriously -disappeared from this town within the last five weeks. The Rev. Wallace M. Stuckey, pastor of the Christian church and edi tor of the newspaper here, was the first to go. He dropped out of sight a month ago, and It la peculiarly strange that he has not been heard of since, because faith in Its people was greater; than for years he had been a traveling e van- Brings Sixty People to Topcfea This MornJag.'

BOAT CREW QUITS. Feared Strikers Would Blow Tp the Vessel With Dynamite. Pittsburg. Pa.. Aug. 20. Earlv to day an attempt was made by unknown persons to start a fire inside the plant of the Pressed Steel Car company. Several large bundles of burning ex celsior were thrown over the 'mill fence but were extinguished by guards. wearing that strike sympathizers ad threatened -to dynamite the ferry steamer H. H. Pflel, used to carry em ployes to the works, the crew- of the boat quit today rather than take the risk of an explosion. ever before. Mr. Murdock's state ment, coming from the mouth, of any other congressman, might sound like hot air or persiflage, but the Wichita statesman, made good his faith before hand by his works. Now that the battle is over and congress adjourned the insurgents are receiving their re ward in the shape of ovations by their admiring constituents. In his address to his townspeople Mr. Murdock said: "The so-called insurgents in the house had a trying and turbulent time, but they, made themselves felt, as you are all no doubt aware. Some changes were.. made in the. house rules, -but more should be made and they will be made soon. Kansas helped 'some in the fight, but it did not help as much as it should have done, for Kansas should be in the lead in every fight. for better conditions in this country. "I have been all over this coun try and seen every part of it and talk ed with people from every section, and I have more love for. Kansas and more faith in it and its people than I ever had. If this was to-be the last Bpeech I -should- ever make, I would say that after all I have seen I re gard Kansas as the essence of this na tion. There is no spot on this great round earth that can compare with it. It is the Individualism of Kansans that makes this a great state, and it is the individual in thi country in whom, after all, we are most concern ed. For this reason the entire coun try will be helped by breaking up that log jam in congress." Van III King of Kalina. a well known insurance agent of Saline coun ty, has announced himself as a candi date for state superintendent of insur ance. He was a candidate for the place four years ago, but gave way to J..X- Brlstow and R, A. Burch. both from his section-and candidates for places in the TTnited Sates senate and the state supreme court. Mr. King announces his platform as follows: "If I am elected to the office of superintendent of insurance every company doing-business, in the state will comply with, the insurance laws in every respect. I know that our insur ance laws do not cover everything. and. I believe that it is in the power of the superintendent to make a law or a ruling to- cover every emergency." The superintendent of insurance. Charles Barnes, has at last decided under the Dressure of Governor Stubbs to take some step-toward relieving the high Insurance rate situation under which the property owners of the state have been suffering ever since the new Insurance law was passed last winter. He has issued an order lor a reduction of 12 per cent in fire insurance rates in Kansas, beginning September 1. This reduction, however, does not apply to residence property, church, school house and farm property. sunexintendent Barnes went to con siderable trouble to promulgate this order.- -He actually left his business interests in Osage county and came to Topeka and staid long enough to affix his signature io tne proclamation. Here is -what he has to -say about his own ruling: "A reduction or is per cent in tne rates of fire insurance premiums means a saving to the business inter ests of Kansas of $488,583.72 annually. "This reduction applies to business houses and contents, restaurants, ho tels, printing offices, mills and eleva tors, lumber yards, bank buildings, packing- houses and contents, county buildings and contents, and an mer cantile lines. Investigations and com- gelist and was known in nearly every town in the three states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. He left behind a wife and three children who are des titute. The next who dropped out of sight was Miss- Lorena Sutherland, 16 years old, attractive and charming. She had just won. second place and a diamond ring in a contest to decide -who was the most popular young woman in the county. This contest was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Stuckey to increase the circulation of his paper, the Williams burg Star. Miss Sutherland was a member of the Christian church, of which the Rev. Mr. Stuckey was pas tor. Miss Sutherland disappeared two weeks after the preacher went away, arid no word of her has come to her family. A week later Harry C. Thomas, 24 years old and unmarried, proprietor of the livery business here, disappeared as mysteriously as the others. He went to Kansas City with a friend and in the Union depot he sent the- friend across the street for a couple of cigars. When the friend returned in five min utes his handbag was on the floor w here he had left it in care of Thomas, but Thomas was gone and he has not been heard of since. The other two who went away with out notifying friends or relatives were Wilbur Fogel, 22 years old, and Miss! Maggie Timmons. 15 years old. He is the grandson of D. Fogel, who-was the nominee for state treasurer on the Pro hibition ticket several years ago. Fogel and Miss Timmons went away the same day. The father and mother of Miss Timmons have spent a good deal .of money advertising for.' but have heard nothing of her. These disappearances, following one after the other, have excited this gen erally quiet town. The mayor, M. F. Ketchell, says: "Isort of count noses now every.- day to see if any one else has dropped out of sight. We have only 300 population and so It ib easy tor me to keep track of them all. so long as they stay here. These strange goings On have stirred ua antgmily.

Aftep wrestling with "Colonel Bogey" ail morning on the golf links of the My opia club President Taft this after noon tackled the more serious work of discussing with Attorney General Wickersham, the problem of a more centralized control of interstate cor porations. The changes in the Sherman anti trust law, in the Jurisdiction of the In terstate commerce commission and in the scope of authority vested in the bureau of corporation of the depart ment of commerce and labor will form the bulk of President Taft's first message to a regular session of con gress in December next.

Kaufman hit into a force-out and Kerns scored, making the locals one point to the good. The only other run needed to sav.' the day came in the fifth. Wooley led off with a two-sacker and went to third on Clarke's high fling to second, scor ing on Kunkel's long fly to centerfleld. Another was added In the next scene. Kahl hit one through the Infield and took second when Kerns sacrificed. An erxor by Andreas on a thrown ball put Bobby on third and Abbott's second delivery of the day made it four for the locals. The final tally was due to ths dropping of a thrown ball by Pick Hunter. "Wooley o-ot a life on the play and went to second on an infield out, sooring when Cyrus Landreth of Mar vin poled his second swat of the after noon. The only other business that the Sioux did in the scoring line was in the sixth Inning. This too was incu bated through Kaufman's generosity, both runs being started by his only two walks. It was Andreas who walked this time, and singles by Towne and Welch scored him. This makes it six out of the seven played since the team came home. To day the Sioux wind up their affairs In Topeka. Tessie Alderman and Rasty Wright will preside over the obsequies. Tomorrow the premier candidates for consolation honors the Lincoln team will appear.

That boy is game to say the least. And he put up a rattling good game, too. His hit started one run. Kunkel hit in hard luck yesterday. He was up once In a pinch and a long drive bounded over the leit neia fence, foul only by a few feet. Kunkel has hit a number of homers this season, but none on the home battlefield. Kerns, Fenlon and Andrews are the only, ones that have dono that. ivunnei nas Deen hitrlne lot of hard drives lately. Now that Cyrus has found his hitting eve. it is honed that he will keep, it Up. The ble boy can hit them about as hard as anyone. Reilly laced out a beautiful triple to right field In the sixth aim tne oases filled and two out. and no one could bring him home. Kaufman's hit was. a groundei through shortstop which would ordi narily have been an easy out, but Smith was drawn over to cover second on the play In the eighth with -runners on first and second and third and only one out. the Sitting Bulls pulled off a double steal, but the next two were easy outo. Welch lifted a high one to Geier and Hunter popped out to Kahl. Clarke was here with Des Moines or the last tiip of the Boosters. He was knocked out of the box then, and Miller who was substituted saved the game. "Wichita 4. Lincoln 2. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 20. The pitch ing of Aitchison was too much for the Links yesterday.

McGlynn that's the name that sounds good to the fans of Mil waukee and the American associa Hon. "Stoney" can have anything he wants and he even gets things he doesn't ask for. Recently fans here presented him with a diamond ring ror nis good work, appreciating that he did wonders to keep the Brewers arouna the top or the ladder, "Stoney's" first name is Grant he has no middle name but he has I im nun niutu uo imuwo a fine "snittpr" T, ,1 a urnnA Arr.n a tine "spitter" and a good drop It is a remarkable record that Mc Glynn possesses.

Won 10 games -after taking the place or another- pitcher, Lost 7 games after taking place of another pitcher, several times going alter the game was practically lost. Lost three 1 to 0 games In seven days. Grant McGlynn has done wonder ful things before John J. McCloskey brought him to Milwaukee. He has been pitching about eight years and among other things his record shows Won two pennants. Pitched 399 games in five years. Pitched 484 games in eight years. Pitched 4,356 innings. Pitched three games in one day for York, fa., against Harrisburg In 1904 and won them all. Pitched 23 games against Harris- burg in the Tri-State league and won 22 of them It was in Lancaster, Pa., that Mc Glynn was born. That was on May 26, 1872. He played on the corner lots and then pitched In the Cum berland Valley, Pennsylvania state and Tri-State leagues before becom ing a Cardinal. His best season was in 1904 when he won 70 out of 77 games. That year he hit .296. In 1906 he pitched York Into the cham pionshlp by winning 36 out of 46 games he pitched. In 1907 he pitched for the St. Louis Nationals and repeated in 1908, but in .that year he did little work When John J. McCloskey of Louis ville was made manager of the Mil waukee club he grabbed two stars "Stoney" McGlynn and "Old Hoss" Hostetter and both of them have done wonders to make the American asso ciatlon race one of the best In the history of baseball.

Sioux City at Wichita. Des Moines at Denver. Omaha at Pueblo. TOMORROW. Lincoln opens tomorrow. There will bt a double header Sunday, the first game starting at 2:30 o'clock. The Pueblo papers are claiming that Swift isn't pitcting as good a game as he is capable of. The big fellow, however, has not had the best kind of ei-couragement in playing -with the Puebs. He is a good southpaw .Just the same and if the Puebs don't want him. Just let them turn him loose and see how quick Topeka grabs him up. Spencjr is not being missed very much at Pueblo although he was a brilliant player. McChesney, who came down from Indianapolis, seems to be hitting the ball hard for the Indians. But then it is likely that Pueblo receiv ed some remuneration In addition to McChesney for that boy Spencer was some playtr, and was leading the league in stolen bases. Clyde Williams, it Is reported, will euit the Des Moines team September 1, and will after that give his atten tion to coaching the Ames football team. Palton, a Great Bend graduate, won bis first game for Omaha yesterday. Jokerst caught for Wichita and did well enough. Springfield (Mo.) Republican: Johnny Nee, the young Springfield ball player whose sensational rise has been watch ed by his many Springfield friends, has reached the stage where sporting edi tors are printing pictures of the fast iiiflelder In characteristic posesf. Nee got off poorly this spring, being in jured and having a batting slump but his work is better now and he is the idol of the Central League fans at Dayton, la. The Dayton Herald un der a three column full length snap shot of Johnny In action prints a short eulogy of tho Springfield lad starting. "Johnny Nee is the style of a ball piayer fans rave about. He is a whirl wind on his feet, a clever fielder and goes after everything that comes any where close to his territory. He is the sweetest looking ball player the Vets have had around third base' in. a long time." Erwln Hoffman, a brother of Arthur Hoffman of the Cubs, has been signed by Owner De.spain of the Lincoln club, and will report at once. He is a fast youngster and is a duplicate of his old er brother when It comes to fielding and hitting. The youngster, however, lacks the experience of his famous brother, the star utility man of the Cubs. Secretary Fairweather says that the board of directors acted without pre cedent in awarding the disputed Sioux City-Lincoln game to the Links. Mr. Fairweather says It "would have been only a fair deal to have made the two teams play it over. On this account he thinks the board of directors is try ing to keep the Packers from winning the pennant. Jack Holland is on the market for a first baseman. With the sale of Cole, Pennell will have to return to the out field and tome one will have to be found to play the first sack. Manager Holland could in a case of emergency but he doesn't want to and a man who owns a team doesn't have to, It would hardly be fair to presume that the sale of Colo to Chicago is a cover-up cieal, as Cole will leave at once to join tho Chicago club." The former Jobber will be in a Comiskey uniform biore tne end or the week. In his first game "at Louisville Fen lon bagged one of the four hits secured by the Colonels and stole one base, be sides catching a few flies in left field. By the way he is carried on the score book as Fenton. Denver Post: According to reports that are going the rounds Frank New house of this city is to be given a berth in the American League next sea son. President Hedges of the St. Louis club recently saw Newhouse at work in Texas, and was bo Impressed with his work that ro has recommended his ap pointment. George Tebeau of the Amer ican Association is another magnate who is after Frank, and who thinks Mm capable of making good in the American Association. His work In Texas has been of the best, and he has stamped out "rowdy ball" in that league muoh to the satisfaction of the fans who go to the games. E. W. Dickerson In the Denver News: It is amusing to read that the Chicago American league team owners have purchased the releases of Pitcher Lang. Third Baseman Neihoff and First Base man Dwyer of the Des Moines team of the Western league. As a matter of fact, these men have been the Chicago club's property all the season and have OnlV been ffiflJIHl ffr the Kfl.drtn to President Hlggins of the Des Moines team, a warm personal friend of Chas. Comiskey, the popular owner of the White Sox. The Des Moines team is ncthing more or less than a farm for the Chicago American league team this year, and '.he league is playing a bet ter class of ball than usual to keep up with Its pace. One more pitcher as good as Miller cr Lang would make the Boosters sure pennant winners. The baseball public cares little whether a team is a farm or not so long as It r"ays the game. Denver would wel come any kind of an arrangement in baseball if It would result in a pennant winner. Buck Francks is playing outlaw ball. He Is working -at short for the Fresno team in the California State league, an outlaw organization. On the same team are Funk, formerly a Topeka product and Kally, a former Wichita second baseman, end Billy McDondugiij Den-, SHOE CASE $3 ver's catcher of last season. Franks' Job is the same one turned down by Steiie Ravan. when the latter got a chance to get back into organized baseball. Jack Holland is getting busy with sorr.e of lis youngsters at Wichita as the following from the Beacon will show: The small army of ball tosern which wends its way to Association park these days and dons Wichita uni forms, reminds one of a spring train ing rquad. There are no less than 2 of them all told. Most of them are regulars who have seen service all season, while the recruits come from the Kansas State league and the Kan sas and Oklahoma brush. All have been told to report to give Manager Hol land a chanc) to pass Judgment upon them with a vitw to moulding a team into shape for next season. Hassler, the Lyons pitcher, had not yet report ed this morning, but it was porible that he would get in in lime to don a uniform this afternoon. Jokerst, Fe dcr and Kennedy of the Great Bend team are here, and all wero in uniform today. Jokerrt end Fcdor are Wichita 1 roperty, p.i.d Kennedy may be used for the balance of the season, providing Holland's legs will not permit him tJ go back to first when Cole leaves. Hunt, the big Hutchinson southpaw, was in uniform estcrday, as was "Red" Shackleford Armstrong's discovery. Two pitchers from the Oklahoma brush end ax pitcher and catcher from east ern Kansas are also In the squad. Guy Board, th.-s Kingman county boy who made such a good showing in his first game and then fell down on the recent western trip, was turned loose this morning. He may be taken on again rext spring. There will be a weeding out of some of the others before the week Is over. WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Junction City at Salina. Abilene at Ellsworth. Beloit at Manhattan. Clay Center at Minneapolis. Salina has at last recovered from her slump. Judging by the game won from Minneapolis .Wednesday. Lfen, who Is' considered only a mediocre pitcher, twirled the team to victory, but the work of Misse. the hitless wonder, both at the bat and in the field, really won the game. Poor Manhattan seems to' te hav--ing a hard time to win. The sports of that city can hardly wait for the baseball season to be over and the football season to start, for then tho Aggie team will furnish better oppor tunities for applause. Bennie Harris, a Cooley property, pitched his first game for Junction City, Wednesday and won it In easy fashion. But two hits were secured from his delivery, and he would have scored a shut out but for the four errors back of him. In the mean time Harris had a hand in driving Brooks, his Clay Center opponent, from the box. Maple, the Great Bend southpaw, was expected to Join the Salina team,, but up to date he hasn't shown up and Manager Quigley is wondering where he is. Hard luck this. Happy Westcott has been released by Clay Center be cause he wasn't fast enough. And yet some people laughed when tho Topeka sporting writers said that he wasn t fast enough for Wichita. Tho players on the Junction City team are loyal to Manager Tom Campbell. Just to show their loyalty a few days ago, Tom was presented m was presented amond Hne. with a handsome diamond Stokesberry, the brilliant irilliant Clay Cen- ter Ditcher, is twirlir son in professional baseball and is only eighteen years of age. Kretzer and Wells, a crack pitcher and outfielder of the Beloit team have been released to Junction City,, all be cause a row on the Beloit team. The Kansas State league, papers are demanding from President Hostutler, the promulgating of tho averages of the different players. The Great Bend papers tell of a piece of alleged dirty work which was pulled off by Bill Zink, Sunday in his effort to win the pennant. It Is alleged that after the rain had temporarily stopped the game, Zink refused to furnish dry balls until the Hutchinson team took the field. Kneaves of the Lyons team, has signed up with Abilene and is leading off in the batting order for tho Abilenas. Cecil Bankhead is out of the game for a few days at Abilene on account of a leg which he injured in sliding to second earlv in the week. Abilene has released Burton. th- team's second sacker. The coming of Cecil Bankhead made his presence unnecessary, notwithstanding the fact that he is a good player. Some facts and figures" about th Central Kansas league are contained' in the following: Abilene now leads in scoring most runs against oppon ents with 240: Junction City second with 227; Salina third with 224; Min neapolis, 204; Ellsworth, 202; Man hattan, 181; Beloit and Clay Center 172 each. In being scored against, Ellsworth leads with 122; Salina sec ond, with 179: Clay Center, 189; Be loit and Junction City 195 each; Min neapolis, 200; Abilene, 224, and Man hattan, 296. Clay Center leads In shut outs, having 13 to their credit: Ellsworth U second with 10; Salina and Beloit 9 each; Junction City, 8: Minneapolis and Abilene 4 each and Manhattan 2. Salina has been hut out the fewest times, having failed to register in four games; Clay Center and Junction City failed to score-five times; Ellsworth and Abilene 7 each: Minneapolis 10 and Manhattan and Beloit 11 times. McLean Undergoes Operation. Cincinnati, O., Aug. 20. Larry Mo Lean, catcher for the Cincinnati base ball club, whose knee cap was broken several days ago. submitted to an on. eration in a hospital here yesterday, The physicians say the operation wan successful, but that McLean will not be able to play again this season.

That Was Why He Had $1,000,000 In Counterfeit Money. Louisville. Auk. 20. Dreams of wealth centered in a brass bound trunk containing a million dollars in counterfeit Mexican 100 peso notes were shattered for John and Marion Roberts, brothers here, when Deputy United States Marshal Blaydes ar rested John Roberts in Shelby county with the money in his possession. Since the hour of that arrest there has been unravelled in the custom house of Louisville and in central po lice station a remarkable tale. John Roberts, sitting in the office of the secret service bureau here, coolly said that he would plead guilty at the October term of the federal court and seemed resigned about spending a majority of his years in the prison at Atlanta.- Ga. He had only wanted to get rich he said. Marion Roberts some days ago of fered a Louisville broken high com mission to dispose of some Mexican money for him. This led to his arrest and the police learned from him the information which led to the descent upon John Roberts at Simpsonville. John Roberts admitted that he was behind the plan to dispose of the imi tation notes. Roberts said that had a perforating machine and a device to number the bills reached him when he had expected them, he would have been in Mexico a week ago. Roberts is a son of a former judge in this city. Will Koenig, a printer, has also been arrested in connection with the case. Roberts is in jail under a J15,- ooo federal bond. to General Weston. commanding the department of the west. The trip will cover 3,693 miles. On its success, it is said, will largely de pend the establishment of a regular automobile service for the army. TABOOED PROBLEMS. List of Those the True Astronomer Will Xot Bother About.

After the opening yesterday of the tenth an nual meeting of the Astronomical and Astrophysical Society of America at Yerkes' observatory. Prof. Pickering and Prof. E. B. Frost, who have charge of the Yerkes observatory, drew up a list of the "problems," which they say a genuine scientists will never bother about. Here is th3 list: Going up in a balloon with tele scopes in order to make observations. This the true astronomer ridiculous. Question of the inhabitability of the planets. This is described as purely a biological problem. The true astron omer concerns himself merely with matters of mass, length and time. Probability of the destruction of the earth by comets. This is characterized as "pure idiocy." Talk of comets plunging into the sun and thus generating a heat suffi cient to burn up the earth. More "idiocy." Talk of satellites of the moon. Ludicrous. Rumors of the reappearance of the biblical star of Bethlehem. This star, which is reported frequently from some part of the country, according to iroi. Tost, is tne planet Venus. SHE WANTS ROOO.OOO FIVE WERE KILLED. Automobile Left Trestle and Plunged Into the Ocean. Seattle. Wash., Aug. 20. Four young women and one man, the driver of the car, met death, and two young men narrowly escaped a similar fate here when a large touring car. going at a high speed crashed through the railing of the long trestle over the tide flats at the point known to auto mobile drivers as "Dead Man's Curve." All the members of the party were from Vancouver, B. C, except the driver of the car, who is a Seattle man. The dead: MISS AGNES COWEN MISS MAGGIE PAUL. MRS. J. COLVIN. MRS. M. M. GROTHE.' IRA FERRY, the chauffeur. The tide was at flood when the declares automobile crashed through the rail and the victims were hurled into sev eral feet of water. The body of the chauffeur was found floating half a mile from the scene of the accident, nours after wards. The bodies of the three young women who met death have not yet been recovered. Miss Mary Paul, a sister of one of the dead and Miss Kate Hiscock were rescued by a boatman who heard their cries and found them clineine to the wrecked car.

George Ray Released After Eleven Days' Confinement. Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 20. Lean gaunt and weak from an eleven-day fast. George Ray, the optician from Wellington. Kan., who was arrested a week ago la.st Saturday night charged with disturbing the peace and abus ing a boy companion named Hender son, was released from jail upon the recommendation of Judge Hoffman and Dr. Carpenter. He refused to eat the food furnished the prisoners and during the eleven days incarcera tion Ray did not eat a bite. When Ray entered the jail eleven days azo he weighed about 140 pounds but following hi3 release he went into a fish market and scarcely tipped the beam at 123. He had lost eighteen pounds during the eleven days. When taken from the Jail he was supported by the officers and as he made his way rrom tne station to a restaurant he tottered along as a man in a dream and clung to posts and objects because of his extreme weakness. Ray sat down to the counter and ordered a platter of eggs and toast and the speed and ease with which he disposed of the food indicated he would soon be the original happy optician of former days. Rav said he was born in .Engiana and raised In New York. He said his familv were wealthy in England and he would soon receive his allowance from the old country. This, however, did him no good. Ray served eleven days of thirty Imposed upon him by Judge Hoffman. He had five dollars when placed in jail but this was re funded to htm when he was released and told to use it to get on his feet again.

Chicago, Aug. 20. Father is to come unto his own. He is to have his day in connection with his helpmate, for "mother's day" hereafter will be "par ent's day." The f ather s place was fixed only af ter an animated argument in a meeting of the executive committee of the In ternational Sunday School association held here.. When a "mother's day" came before the assembly for discus sion some one asked what would be done with the father. The committee passed a resolution that the sense of the meeting was with father as well as mother and that the committee rec ommend to the association the substi tution of parents' day, for mother s day."

Chicago, Aug. 20. Averell Harrimati, son of Edward H. Harriman, has start ed to learn the railroad business f--om the ground up." Young Harriman, who is IS years of age, is making his start in the direction of a railway magnate's commanding position -by carrying the chain in a surveying gang on the Ore gon Short Line in Idaho. When his. father went to Europe in search of health, Averell had his choice of how he should spend the summer and his choice included the opportun ity to go to Europe. He declared that he wanted to learn something about how railroads are located, as th--. was the foundation of the science of rail roading. Asked if he wanted la start at the bottom, as any other boy would have to, he replied that he did. George LHxon, son of Dr. Geo. A. Dixon of New Tork, one of Harriman's family physicians, is a school chum o Averell Harriman and he decided to join the "chain gang." Both boys were put in positions at 6o a month and were placed on the payroll of the Ore gon Short Line with instructions to the general manager to see that they were treated just- as other employes are treated.

Advance payment Is requested en these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. It is the opinion of the Boston Globe that Mr. Bryan will find that Texas Is Just as far from Washington as Ne braska is. "Injustice to the English channel." remarks the Chicago Record-Herald, "we may say that nobody has yet been able to wade it." President Taft is becoming more end more distinguished as time passes! on. He played a game of golf in a; rainstorm the other day. The baby shah of Persia is assured ly up against a fierce proposition when his own father -will make an attempt to take the little lad's Hfe. About the only men in cities who get any satisfaction out of such weather as has prevailed around here of late are those who own the ice plants. No news has come from Colonel Roosevelt and his party in Afnca for several days. What's wrong? Surely no lion has fulfilled the wishes of Wall street. Cole Younger, ex-bandit, who is chautauquaing, is advising young men to be useful, honorable, law abiding citizens. This is good advice even if it comes from a man who didn't. That Pennsylvania widow of 81 years of age who is about to get married again is old enough to know better. But maybe she is suffering from a well developed case of second childhood. No use talking otherwise, the job of being a railroad commissioner in Kan sas is not a very attractive one. The commissioners feel the necessity of making another trip of inspection over the lines of the Missouri Pacific. They're also experiencing a crisis in affairs of state in Denmark. European news for a day would be most unusual if it did not report a crisis or two In the nations that go to make up that land of incessant political turmoil. "Rain fell almost steadily throughout the night and today, there was a raw southeast wind." Now if this was the news in regards to such happenings in and about Topeka Instead of Newport, R. I., it would be of a more refreshing sort. According to a professor of the Chl cago university, evolution was a puzzie to the earliest human beings. And it is just as much of a puzzle to those of today. It is one of those reasonable theories which has to be accepted with out proof. That war game which is being play rd around Boston these days is decid edly reminiscent of the old jingle which runs: "The king of France had twice., ten thousand men. He march ed them up the hill and marched them down again." A former famous gambling house in 'New York city is to be transformed Into a "high-class" restaurant. If it 13 run along the lines of most of such places in the big town its patrons of the future, like those of Its past, will continue to get "skinned." Most of the rural schools in Shawnee county are to be open during the com ing year for terms of eight months each. It was not so long ago tuac the farmers in these parts could ill afford to allow their children to attend school 'four four months at a stretch. So the navy board that inquired into the matter is of the opinion that Lieu tenant Sutton caused his own death eithe: by suicide or by accident in an attempt to shoot one of his three brother officers who were holding him down when the fatal shot was fired. Most persons who followed the testi mony in this famous case might well be pardoned for thinking that a com mon ordinary jury would have found otherwise. Some folks will express the opinion that the farmers in this vicinity are ever credulous. They are reported to place considerable reliance in the pre dictions of the local weather bureau. But, as a matter of fact, this depart ment of the federal government does its work pretty well and is not entitled to any of the ridicule which is heaped upon it from some quarters. Its pre dictions that fail are the only ones which come in, for comment, when,, in reality, its predictions that are realised outnumber the failures two to one. poisoning gophers. Interesting; results have just been announced by the 'forest service as result of the campaign conducted in southern California by Stanley K. Piper, expert of the biological survey ef the ..department of agriculture, to exterminate ground squirrel and gophers. Extensive experiments were tried to determine the best means of killing off these destructive little animals, and it was found that most effective results were obtained by usinp. pois oned green or ripening barley heads. The squirrels are exceedingly fond of this green herbage, and eagerly ate the poisoned food placed along their runways. Tests were also made with oats, wheat, barley, raisins, prunes. dried apples, and cracked oorn. but these did not prove so successful. While green barley proved most successful for poisoning ground squirrels, yet the difficulty of procur ing a sufficient supply in all localities led to dry barley grain being tried The grain was treated with strychnine sulphate, saccharine, and eggs, and although this combination proved very destructive to the squirrels, it had practically no effect upon doves and quail, in fact, a deliberate at tempt was made to poison these birds at their watering places, but no bad effect resulted. The poisoned grain was also used in fields grazed over by sheep and produced no 111 effects whatever. The experiments also proved that gophers were partial to-raisins and dried apples, and these were success fully used In the poison experiment. It was found that by sprinkling the apples or raisins with the strychnine solution, as effective results were pro duced as could be obtained by in serting the poison Into the fruit. The experiments for extermination of squirrels also resulted in the death of a considerable number of rabbits, and in other experiments It was found that poisoned oats proved very effec tive in killing both jacks and cotton tails. Green alfalfa was also used with good results for the same pur pose. TAXES IS KANSAS. Much discussion is being indulged ir. these days over the taxes in Kansas and the increased expenditures during the past few years for the administra tion of the affairs of the state, its cities and its counties. Some of it is of a decidedly unfavorable character but this must come from individuals who do not take the trouble to think over the matter in a fair and square man ner. They merely see the- fact that large sums of money are being raised by taxes for state, city and county purposes and then launch out with their criticisms on general principles, Taxes are not low in Kansas, but if the figures were at hand they would show that they compare more than favorably with the taxes that ar levied in most of the states of the union. During the past decade Kansas has developed wonderfully. Her cities and towns have grown in most sub stantial ways. With such growth comes the necessity for the expenditure of large sums of money for public im provements of all sorts to make tht communities desirable and healthful places to live in. This is the reason why the taxes In the urban communi ties are so high. But there is little If any honestly founded protest against them, because the people, for the most part, rightly believe that they are get ting large returns for their taxes in a variety of ways. The same is true in county affairs and an analysis of the taxes will show that the taxes for cities and counties have increased to a much greater extent than have those for state purposes. There has been substantial Increases In the latter re spect but it is safe to assert that there are few state governments in the na tion which aro more economically con ducted than Is Kansas and where larger returns are received for the taxes Invested. This is not a condition of the present alone. It has prevailed for the last few years back. But even with the taxes at their present figures they are not as burden some to the people of the state as they were in the days of years ago when the money needed to conduct the state, the cities and the counties, was not half as large as it is today. The reason is simple. The people of the state at the present time are better oft financially and in every other way than they were in the past. All of their property of every sort has enhanced greatly in value. And this explains the fact that while more money is needed now than before to manage the public affairs of the state and Its communities, the rate of taxation is lower than it has ever been. HOTELS AND THE LAW. According to Mr. Wilmarth, chief of the fire department, there are twenty-two hotels in Topeka that have not yet fully complied with the state laws concerning the equipment which it has been deemed by the leg islature to be needed to safeguard guests in the case of fire. In the list of these delinquent hotels are the foremost and largest in the city as well as the most insignificant ones. Chief Wilmarth states that the proprietors of most of these hotels have not wantonly and defiantly vio lated the laws in question, but that they have been dilatory in some re spects and in others they have been unable to secure in time the fire es capes and fire fighting devices which the laws demand. This is undoubt edly true in many instances, but such excuses are rather poor ones after all. These laws have been on the statute books for months and it would ap pear that plenty of time has already elapsed in which all hotel-keepers could have complied with them. And this is a matter that should not be put off until it is convenient for the hotel men to live up to it. The pub lic convenience and safety ia para mount to any interest that, thehotel men may have involved. Within the past, nine .months there have been two hotel fires in Topeka. the thoughts of which are quite hor rible enough to make folks shudder even now. A single repetition of them In the near or distant future would be to the everlasting disgrace of the city and would be criminal in its nature, in view of the fact that there are laws on this subject which should be obeyed. It is not to be supposed that the. precautions which these laws demand would absolute ly prevent the losing of a life in, a hotel that might catch on fire and which had observed them in their en tirety. Hotel fires are such fickle and uncertain things that even bet ter precautionary measures than the Kansas legislature has provided would not make loss of life impos Bible in one of them under conditions which might develop. But If all the hotels of this city, and throughout the state as well, were equipped with the fire escapes and the fire fighting devices that the laws Insist they shall be, the guests who might be In one of them when a fire started would have a far better chance of saving their lives than they would have If these laws are disre garded. Therefore, these laws should be enforced to their very letter and at once, as there is every Indication that they will be. There must be no more fastening of the stable door in this respect after another horse has been stolen. JOURNAL ENTRIES Love and reason seldom 'walk along together.

KANSAS COMMENT AS. TO REPORTERS. ?'YOUr-renortM. artk ytn rnnH uid a-citizen this tamming, with- virtuous iiuignauon; "my Aunt Henrietta and her tWO danrhtpra nla-rivs onrl Imogene; have been visiting at my house for several days, and there hasn't been a word in the Gazette aDout it." A good many similar kicks are heard in the coursa of a. loner summer day, and although the management i me uazette has taken a good many reporters into the basement -and shot them down in cold blood for neglect of duty,, there is still room for criticism. The Gazette has long; been looking ior iae meal reporter. and wnen ne is found expense will not bo con sidered if he can be signed up for regular service. The ideal reporter, to begin with should be a mind reader. Most every man in town knows something tnat would be interesting if he would tell it;, and when he meets a reporter he always forget3 it, and says that he doesn't "know a thine. Then in the evening he says that there isn a jimdasted thing worth reading in the paper, and he rolls it into a wad, and throws It at the cat. and holds an indignation vmeeting. An expert mma reader oould eet a lot or m- tormation from such a man. The Ideal reoorter should be trip lets. It is absolutely necessary, at all hours of theday, that he should be In three places at once; he should be at the depot, taking notes of all arrivals and departures, and he should also be at the hotels, copy ing bughouse signatures from the register, and he should be simultan eously, at the meeting of the Min isterial association, for a great deal of hot stuff has its origin there.

Boys are not endowed with many sacred riehts which" any one seems bound to respect. Since time began narnts legislatures, and other institu tions w'lth an eye on the welfare of growing boys, have been deciding wna: they should do, and eat and wear; and mostly the decisions have been along lines not approved by boys. But now comes the last straw from a Massachusetts woman' reformer, who advocates making iboys' trousers with out pockets! Of (course, she has a worthy ambition,' land the interest o the boy at heart. -sThe pocket should go, she says, because boys place tneir hands in their pockets, ana Decome stooD-shouldered. The boys have stooa a gooa aeai, this is Too Much. The average boy has plenty of use for his hands, and not much room for them in his pockets, or time to put them there. But he needs his pockets but little less than his hands. There he carries all the neces sities which go to make life worth while. To run locomotives without trains is as logical as to raise a boy without pockets. Atchison Globe. FROM OTHER PENS THE SOUTH IS MAKING SILK. "There are few people who know that North Carolina, among Its diver sified industries, has a number of silk mills." remarked Mr. Thomas J, Pence, a prominent Raleigh man, who is staying at the Stafford notei. "In the growing town of Wadesboro there are two silk factories, one em ploying white labor operatives. They are both prosperous, ana tneir oniy handicap is a scarcity of help. The raw material in the form of cocoons cornea from China, and costs from $2 to (3.60 a pound delivered at Wadesboro, but when spun into silk yarn it brings the mill owners $5 a pound and up, according to the state of the market. The owners maintain headquarters in Dover, N. J., but the product of the mills goes to New fork. The work, which is light and clean, gives employment to many girls and boys, who are able to earn from $5 to $7 a week. In the plant where the colored hands work a cheaper quality of silk Is -produced, the col ored employes not having as yet ac quired the skill necessary to turn out the finest grades. There are also oth er silk factories in tne state, locatea at Fayetteville, Kinston, and High Point, and I believe they are all mak ing good money on' the -capital in- vested." Baltimore American. OFFICE .HOLDING IN FRANCE. Records for 1906""show that there is one public employe for every 90 inhabi tants in France. These persons draw an average of less than -1,600 francs apiece in yearly wages, or $320 each Since some of the high officials are paid salaries 'which run Into tens o; thousands of francs, the great majority of these functionaries are paid the merest pittances. But then certainty of employment Is practically assured for life, and this the municipalities of' fer while the land does not. Schemes have been set In motion to offset this drift. An old age pension system, which is counted on to ailevlats the lot of the aged peasant, win per haps go Into effect before another year. It is thought that the prospect of be ing provided for in his declining years win tend to keep the peasant on the societies constitute anoth er plan. Through these it is hoped to promote greater thrift in the country, as has already been done through the same agencies in the cities. A law recently passed by the French legis lature alms to establish a system of loans to persons desiring to buy farm property. This system is designed to work through mortgage banks which employ private capital under govern ment charter. This scheme as yet lacks financial organization, but when once In operation may prove the most satisfactory solution of all French problems of the land. Indianapolis Star. I MAN AND THE BIRD.

Firstly, she had received a letter from a girl chum giving the news of a matrimonial engagement. It was written to make her feel bad. Secondly, Miss Susie's Aunt De borah, who was also her guardian, had charged her with carelessness in losing a piece of Jewelry. Thirdly, she ,had expected a girl friend to come and pass the summer with her, and that girl was going off on a yachting party to Norway in stead. The list could be strung out to tenthly without exhausting it. When things begin to go wrong with a good looking girl of eighteen, with a $20, 000 estate coming to her at one and twenty, it's sure to be blue day. Miss Susie at first thought she -would go to her room and have a good cry. Then she decided to sit on the veranda and let her exes brim over with tears. The third decision was to go out into the orchard anj climb a tree, but she had only started when she changed directions and wandered down the country highway without definite aim or object, in view except to have her pout out She had a stick in her hand as she walked, and the thistles and mayweeds lost their heads as she came within striking dis tance. There are girls who look horrid when they pout and wish they had never been born., but Susie Cline was not one of them. Half a mile down the road stood what .was called the old bachelor's place. The five acres and cottage were the property of Mr. Wayne Ashley, twenty-five and unmarried. He lived in the city in the winter and in his country retreat in summer. He was called a recluse, and there was a story to the effect that he had loved and lost and was the enemy of all womankind. Had Mr. Ashley chosen to explain to the. country folks he would have told them that certain flowers and vegetables were fads of his, and he was out there to grow them and communicate results to cer tain horticultural and agricultural societies. In fact, he was the partner of a leading florist in the city, though his name and money were hidden un der that of "Co." No woman had ever broken his heart nor smashed his idols. Miss Cline and Mr. Ashley had never met. If she referred to him it was as a "poke." He didn't refer to her at all. As the girl reached his place on this day her chin was In the air. Had she belonged to the other sex It would have been said that sne had a chin on her shoulder. In the "poke's" front yard grew a blue hollyhock, the result of one of his experiments. Miss Susie opened the gate and walked in for a closer look. Seeing no one about she walked to the rear of the house to look, at the vegetable garden. A feeling of de fiance was mingled witn ner pouting. Any other day she would not have dared to open the gate: on this day she was ready to defy the old bach elor. "U-r-r-r-r! Bark! Bark!" Miss Susie looked to her left to see a big watchdog coming for her through the sugar beets. Ten feet away was a small toolhouse with the door swineind open, scarcely con scious of what she did, the girl made two or three jumps, reached the she! ter and pulled the door to. Five sec onds later the dog was leaning against it and uttering growls to chill her blood. She had Just begun to beg ana plead with the dog to go away and let her get back to the highway when she heard a voice saying: "Good dog. Dick! Hold him there! It's dollars to cents that you've got a tramo for a prisoner! Miss Susie wanted to cry out that she was no tramp, but only a girl who had come out to pout; but she could not get the words out. The chip fell from her shoulder and her teeth chat tered. "Come out of that, you tramp!" called the man's voice after hushing the dog. "Oh, you won't eh? Well, we'll see about that. Watch him. Dick!" The place was provided with a windmill and water tank and garden hose. There was a small un glazed window six feet from the ground in the end of the toolhouse. The "poke attached the hose, turned on the wa ter, and thrust the nozzle through the ODeninC. Susie screamed wildly. If it was a tramp in there he had a fal setto voice. The hose was pulled away, the door opened, and there- Susie had sunk down in a heap a limn, wet heap. "Great Scotts, but what is it!" he exclaimed as he stood there holding open the door. "It's It's me!" came faintly after a. moment, reeardless of grammar. "Why, Miss Miss but I didn't know you were in here! I thought it was a tramp or a cat. I shall never forgive myself. Why didn't you call out? Allow me, please. Perhaps a girl crouching down in a tooished with her arms over her head is a more handsome object than a girl standing outside after having had a dozen barrels of water swished over her. The peach basket hat the linen dress the chin that had been in the air Where had all the jauntiness disap peared to? And In addition to all the other wetnes, tears were rolling down the girl's cheeks over her humiliation. "So sorry so sorry." the man kept repeating. "You you are Miss Cline, I think? I am Mr. Ashley. I wouldn't have had it happen for thousands cf dollars!" All of a sudden. Miss Susie dashed the tears from her eyes and began to laugh. Her pout was over with and her sunshiny nature had asserted itself. And Mr. Ashley laughed. She was laughing over the situation, and he was laughing because she laughed. "I am a trespasser, and I have been served right," said the girl. "Yes. I am Miss Cline. I know you will offer to see me home, but I thank you. I shall tell auntie that I fell into the creek. If you ever "I never shall. If it were known that I set my dog on a girl and then tried to drown ner. wnat wouia people say "And if I don't tell auntie that I fell into the creek what'H she say?" A wan, wet, lone, limpsy Susie, try ing her nest to wain wiin aignity. went out of the gate and up the road to tell Aunt Deborah how she was stooping over to look at the fish and tumble.! Into the creek. That evening Mr. Wayne Ashley paid a call on the aunt and niece and form ally made himself known. The acci dent at the creek was touched upon, but not pursued with any fervor. Having found his way over to hts neighbors, Mr. Ashley contracted the habit of calling frequently, and one day, when fall had come and he was ready to return to the city, Miss Susie said to her relative: "Mr. Ashley has asked the privilege of corresponding with me." "And he says he may run down and call." "Yes?" "And and "And he wants to guard you in future from falling into creeks? Well, Mr. Ashley can talk very interestingly on horticulture, and I shall be glad to listen to his remarks at any time," said Aunt Deborah. (Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.)

One of the best known farmers in Graham county estimates that his county will raise from 50 to 80 per cent more corn this year than in any previous year in the history of Graham county. This estimate was made prior to the hot. dry weather which set in ten days aifo. and which may have checked the growth to some extent. There are .181.542 acres planted in corn. The county will raise a big crop even if the dry weather checks iu growth. All agree that corn has never made such a wonderful growth. It "has grown taller than ever before, in many cases hiding the general view from the passerby. A sight from a school house about six miles from Hill City on the four corners of the main traveled roads, one Is reminded of eastern lawns, the roads are shaded by the tall growth of stalks of corn. Such a sight has never before been seen In Graham county. Wheat has commenced moving. Graham county had 120,237 acre! sown in wheat. That already thresh ed is turning out quite satisfactory. The county will have a large surplus to ship. The Hill City commercial club ought to go after an alfalfa mill. There are 9.072 acres of alfalfa growing in Gra ham county, and the acreage is in. creasing every year. The alfalfa king of the county is A. J. Rice. Another large grower is E. J. Byerts. who has !0O acres. The town has a live club and they should speak out what they want, and then go after it. Graham County Is Growing. The population of Graham county continues to show a healthy increase, there now being about 7,927 inhabit ants. One of the greatest needs of the county is a larger population. Good unimproved farm land is selling at J20 to $30 an acre. With a popula tion of 7.786 in 1908 the farm pro ducts amounted to $2,270,004.31. or S291 for every man, woman and child living within her borders. The Far mers and Merchants bank of Hill City made a comparison with nine of the best counties In northeast Kansas where land is worth more than $100 per acre, and finds that Graham coun ty leads such counties as roniphan. Brown. Nemaha. Marshall. Washing ton. Republic. Cloud. Clay and Riley, the lowest being Doniphan with $212 per capita. The value of poultry and eggs sold during the year amounted to $61,377. a handsome sum for the farmers'wives who do the churning and raise the poultry. The amount is large enough to buy several good Graham countv farms. Besides there was 173,765 pounds of butter made, which the farmers wives ought to be credited with. Graham county has land as good as can be found anywhere, and what is most needed is a large population to help till the soil. No need of politics keeping anyone away from the county, for on;y two of her peo ple have been elected to fill state of fices, two others nominated for lieu tenant governor and state treasurer on the Socialist and Populist state tickets were beaten badly. Hill City Is Prosperous County Seat. It has been a source of gratification to your correspondent to visit Hill City and Graham county since 1881 On his first visit a vigorous county seat fight was on hand, with Mill brook. Hill City, Gettysburg, Nico- tiemus and Roscoe all striving to be the seat of government. The election resulted In the three lowest towns voted for dropping out of the race, ."V Gettysburg. Roscoe and Xicodemus cropped oat, and the big struggle be tween Millbrook and Hill Citv com menced. In the other election Hill City won out. There is a postofflce and a store or two remaining in Xicodemus. but Roscoe, Gettysburg and Millbrook have long ago dropped oft the maps as towns. mil city nas grown to be one of the best business and trade centers in nortnweat Kansas, with a population close to the 1.000 notch. Competition Is lively in all classes of business to such an extent that trade Is drawn here which by rights ought to go to otner towns. Go where you will one will seldom find a more hospitable people. Lovely homes are seen all over town, trees are growing thriftily, attractive lawns are getting more numerous, the churches are patronized, and a mod ern school house graces the town. faraaise a iats ana capitoi Hill as well as other parts of Hill City, are striving with one accord to make these locations more attractive and in vitlng.

A warrant has been issued"ln Ottawa county for the arrest of John L. King, a Minne apolis attorney who left home several weeks ago.

There is no doubt at all that the holders of the rest of the stock will be willing to part with theirs. If Mr. Xeal gets all the stock he in tends to begin at once to put the track in shape by putting in new ties and heavier rails and as soon as that is done he will buy a new electric or gasoline car to take the place of the present horse cars. It is the inten tion to make the new track standard gauge. BOY DRAXK CARBOLIC ACID. John I.. Kins. ex-Representative. Who Is Afusel of Embezzlement. He is charged with the embezzle ment of $25,000 belonging to the es tate of the late Judge R. F. Thomp son. his father-in-law. King was a member of the legislature from Otta wa county one term, belongs to sev eral lodges and was a member of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers. He was also engaged in business here until a short time ago, when the firm of Brick, King Co,, of which he was at the head, changed hands. Civil suit is also pending in Ottawa county against King arising from the same alleged embezzlement. King was a member of the automobile party in which ex-Governor A. P.

Wichita people were talking nothing but the wide-open condition of the town. and the blame is laid upon Commis sioners Stewart, Cone and Roetzel, who voted against the ordinance in troduced by Mayor Davidson to re strict the sale of nearbeer to gallon lots. Unless the commissioners pass the ordinance within a few days it is certain that they will be compelled to submit to a recall election. At an indignation meeting held by the W. C. T. l. today long resolutions were adopted condemning the three commissioners and the chief of police. The women gave it out plainly that unless the commissioners aided the mayor in passing the ordinances which would close the joints the W. C. T. V. would start out with recall pe titions. Mayor Davidson said after being elected that unless he kept the town dry he would resign. If the joints are not closed by Sunday a petition will be presented to him asking that he give up his place. If he does not do this he will be included in the recall with the three commissioners named who voted against the nearbeer or dinance. Public sentiment has not been so strongly aroused in this city in years and it is evident that a large majority of tne people are opposed to the open Joints. The chief of police refuses to take any steps toward arresting the jointists, although they are all selling whisky and -real beer as well as near beer. Following a Reprimand by Father Ten-Year-Old Took His Life. Ft. Scott. Kan.. Aug. 20v Believing that he had displeased his father by some trivial act that he had done and probably .thinking that he would nev er receive forgiveness for it, Hugh the little ten-year-old son of Col. Ed R.. Smith, of Mound City, took his own life a few minutes arter he had received a slight reprimand from his father for his act. The heartbroken parents and friends are at a loss to account for his act as the little fellow during his en tire life time had everything that would make a child happy and he and his father had been not only father and son, but as companions. To little Hugh was assigned the task of caring for the family cow. Yes terday she strayed away from homo during the morning and at noon the father, who returned home for his dinner, reprimanded him for allow ing her to wander away, merely tell ing him to go and find her. The little fellow took a bottle of carbolic acid that had been kept at the home and went to the barn, where he drank portion of the contents. He returned to the house and told his mother what he had done. Med cal help was summoned at once and every effort made to offset the effect of the poison but it had already so affected his little body, he was beyond medical assistance and he passed away in convulsions. KANSAS CITY XEGRO BALKS. Accused of Murder He Refuses to Re turn to Missouri. Hutchinson. Kan., Aug. 20. J. C. Morris, a member of the Kansas City detective force, arrived here for the purpose of taking William White, the negro caotured by Sheriff Duckworth Monday afternoon, back to Kansas City. AVhite confessed his identity to Sheriff Duckworth soon after his ar rest and also informed him that he would return without requisition pa pers, but he has since changed his mind and now denies all knowledge of the crime and refuses to return with out the necessary requsmon docu ments. This state of affairs was disclosed when Detective Morris called upon the prisoner in the county jail where he is confined. The Kansas City authorities trailed White all day last Sunday and suc ceeded in getting hold of a pal of his, who was soon forced to give the in formation which resulted in White's arrest in this city on a charge of murder. CORN HURT IX JEWELL COUNTY. Water Heated by Sun's Rays Used for Family Washings. Jewell City, Kan., Aug. 20. A pro tracted period of intense heat and wind has injured the corn crop in the major portion of Jewell county, many fields being so badly fired that only bad fodder' Is expected from them. Some fields on lower lands, if it rains soon, may yield fairly well. The Jawns are full of dead leaves from the trees, especially where the cottonwood grows. Some have done their family washing in water heated in the sun; others have steeped tea. cooked eggs and washed dishes in water heated in the sun. WOUNDS MAY NOT PROVE FATAL Chanute Boy Shot by a Negro Has a Cliance to Recover. Chanute, Kan.. Aug. 20. William Miller, the 15-year-old boy who was shot Sunday morning by L. F. But ler, a negro, near the latter"s melon patch, three miles south of the city, is doing fine, acording to a report re ceived from the hospftal. He is con sidered out of danger, and the chances that he will recover are strongly In his favor. This is remarkable and fortunate, as the wound which the boy received Is one which results fatally oftener than otherwise. Two of the four shot that struck his abdomen entered the abdominal cavity; these two pellets made eight holes in his intestines. To make the wound still more difficult to combat, it was two hours from the time the boy was hurt to the time that he was operated upon. FOUIi MULES BURNED TO DEATH. E. M. Mathis Lost Animals and Barn by Mysterious Blaze. Arkansas City, Kan., Aug. 20. The first that E. M. Mathis knew of a fire in his barn, which destroyed the structure and at the same time burn ed two span of mules, was when a couple of Chilocco Indian boys woke him up and informed him of the cal amity. Mr. Mathis lives north, or Chilocco on the state line. The barn belonged to J. C. Xash and was worth $150. It had no in surance upon it. The mules were valued at $800. and they were Insur ed for $300. The night watchman at Chilocco saw the blaze and sent two of the students to arouse the sleep ing man. There is no clue to the origin and just how the flames started is a puzzle. COTTON WOOD CAR LINE SOLD. New Owner Will Install Gasoline or Electric Service. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.. Aug. 20.

The price of bricks has dropped $1 per thousand under the prices of May and June. The cost of labor is high and building is probably fully- as expensive as a year ago.

Between a sporting writer on a newspaper and the weather bureau man it is hard to tll which uses the knife the most. Who ever saw a baseball game without an error and who ever saw a thermometer that only registered 100 a few days ago? The Washburn faculty will attempt once more to enforce some strict rules over the fair co-eds who come from out of town to attend the college. The young men of the college realize that the faculty feels as though this was a duty hut down in their hearts they know that no one need fear. When the Santa le punches the clouds with their new sixteen story of fice building the enthusiastic builders in the city will have a new goal to strive for. A sixteen story skyscraper would look mighty good in Topeka. The weather bureau could occupy the roof and then the temperature would never get above 75. There is so great a demand ovr tlie country for building material at the present time that the factories arc hav ing difficulty in supplying the demand. Kspecially is it hard to procure iron material. The local contractors are be ing put back in their work on account of not being able to obtain iron for re inforcing purposes fast enough. Sheriff Norton says that he receives complaints every day from people living just outside of the city limits who claim that there are scores of liquor nuisances and disorderly houses running wide open. But no one is willing to sign a complaint and thus the warrant cannot be issued. Some thing should be done to stop this evil. Old Newspapers 5c Bundle.

NORTH SIDE NEWS Don Be Few, Structural Iron Worker, Fright.'ully Hnrt. Fell 75 Feot From Scaffold at Inter-Ocean Mills. TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL Chances of His Recovery Are Consider, d Slight. Talks of Mother and Insurance Papers in His Delirium. Don DePew, a structural iron worker from Warrensburg, Pa., fell seventy- five feet from the top of one of the storage tanks under construction, at the Inter-Ocean mills about 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. As a result he is at the point of death at Keith's hos pital. His head was gashed in three places, his pelvic bone was broken and forced into the abdomen, his left leg -was broken at the ankle and bis left arm was smashed from elbow to '.shoul der and his left side was badly bntUed. The fall was caused by the planks ot the scaffolding on which DePew and a fellow workman were sitting slipping out of the ropes and falling to the ground. The latter saw the planks slip and escaped by grabbing a rope. As DePew fell his body struck a aangung rope. He was turned over and feu to the ground on his left side. Otherwise he would have probably struck the ground head first and would have been killed instantly. As it is his chances for recovery tre very slight. Dr. Keith, who was sum moned and took him in charge as soon as possible after the accident, says that about the only thing he can do is to put his body in a plaster cast, to remove the left arm entirety and to join the broken pieces of the pelvic bone -with wire. The injured man was taken to the Keith hospital. He was in a semicon scious state most of the time. He talks about his mother in his delirium and once asked the- nurse, to tell the foreman to get his insurance papers in his suit case. The foreman is Don Ross, lie is said to be a special friend of DePew. The two came here about a month a&o with about a dozen structural iron workers from Warrensburg. They are employ ed by the Hammond Iron company of Hammond, ind.. which has the con tract for putting up the tankfi. uccew nas reen rooming at 137 west Gordon street since he came here. Again on the North side comes the complaint of too many and too high weeas. xnis time it comes trom peo ple living in the vicinity of the Cen tral Avenue Christian church and those who reside near St. John and Jackson streets. Weeds are said to be growing wild and ferociously along the street just north of the church. Other places in that vicinity are said-to be so filled with weeds between the parking and the Rifl pwilIIcr fhflt nonrtlA run .'flnarpolv pass by. Women with small &ojk Sesi tate to let their pets accompany therrw when they pass these places for .fear that Fido Will run off and get lost in the dense growth or that deadly rep tiles will glide from, their lairs and devour the dog. Seriously, the weeds are said to be unsightly and unwholesome especially in the lots near 1318 Jackson street. The North side people appreciate the efforts of the street force in keeping down the weeds, but wish their atten tion to be directed to those places mentioned. In addition to the weeds being an eyesore and source of annoyance otherwise, when the wind blows away from the weeds, the odor borne there on is anything but pleasant to the nostrils. In about a month apples will be re ceived at the Kuehne preserving w.-rks for making the famous Silver laf vinegar.

Big Raid on an East Fourth Highway Resort Last Night. Other Sensations Gleaned From Police Records. Since the local nolicA ftfflr.nt l, i.- been so vigilant in their watch on the liquor nuisances and disorderly houses the old time police record fa vorites have moved their quarters to their "summer country homes" and business Just outside of the city lim- i its is getting to be a fad. Ask the I thirsty wayfarer where he is going j when you pass him in your automo- 1 bile trodding to the "rubards" and he will tell you that he must have some fresh air, he ia going out to the old swimmin' hole and cool off or else he is walking to reduce his weight. But follow this man and he -will dodge in and out between the trees along the creek and finally wind up at A ltttlA hrnlrAn rinwn harlf wtiorvk there will be to meet him not a bunch of small boys for a swim or a band of physical culturists. but a bunch of men both white and black with but one purpose in view and that is booze. The city and county officials are receiving complaints every day from people who have built just on the outskirts of the city not only to dodge the taxes, but also to enjoy the fresh air and the green fields and the fresh flower laden breezes. They complain that the breezes are now laden with beer and the curses and hysterical laughter of both men and women, all combined with the midnight distur bances and the trail of "empties" strung along the road side. For instance last night B. P. Wil liams of Oakland, who is justice of the peace, received a frantic phone call from people living about two i miles out on East Fourth street. They said that the smell of the booze and the yelling and carousing of the men and women was getting too much for them, that they had stood it long enough and wanted it stopped. Mr. Williams called a few deputy sheriffs and Officers Hutton, Wyatt and England of the police force. To- gether with Town Marshal Wrhite of Oakland, and Mr. Williams, the force went out to the scene of revelry. The Knights of the Round Table In the good old times of King Arthur might have envied the scene that these officers beheld. Theirs was not the round table but real true nature, her grass and flowers and tree trunks and a little cottage in the middle to give the picture a homelike appear ance. A big barrel of the best whisky on the market was just inside the doori bottles were standing with blinking ripples all around and many a bottle lay on the ground with the last life blood oozing from its broken neck. Telling stories of battles long gone by and battles to come the Knights were holding a throat con test to see who could put the most down and to see who could create the largest noise over it. To make a long delightful thrilling tale short and sweet the officers crept up behind the light hearted knights and ladies, and with a quick lurch of the net the nobles, bottles, barrel, booze and all were snagged and taken back to Oakland. Here they will be tried before the justice Monday and here they will meet their Waterloo the first failure of the "country home" idea. It might be interesting to note that such notables and warriors those of the booze fighting class as "Jupe" Jordan and Andy Dupree were there. These two were acting as hosts to their friends who "Came From the City.' There are altogether too many of these weather resorts around the city and the police together with the county officers are going to cut down the profits and allow the grass to grow once more over the well worn trails. These "evening walks" will not go any more with the little wifie who sits at home and reads the mag azines which point out "What a Hus band Wants and What He Gets." The whole question is getting to be a serious one in Topeka as there are many young men and boys going to these outskirt joints and disorderly houses when they would not dare to enter one on the main streets. The secret retreats are really the opening for the downfall of many of the younger "wild oats" and the police realize the fact. The "road house" idea was killed a number of years ago and the sprouts from the old roots will be cut again. What Is needed Is something for the roots beside law. "I was not drunk, Judge, but I was disorderly. I invited a man down from the wagon and told him I would lick him if he stepped in the alley." "Did he come," asked Judge Urmy. "Yes, your honor." "Did you lick him?" Queried the judge. "No sir." was the ready answer. "Why didn't you whip him?" sub jected his honor. "Because he licked me." came back the reply accompanied by a sorrow ful grin. "Well,- Mr. Leavitt. when a man in vites another to receive a thrashing and then gets whipped I believe that he should be fined at least five dol lars." "Judge, you're right I'll" never do it again," and the fine was produced. H. H. Iyeavitt, living at 818 Jackson street, had invited a deliveryman for the Green grocery to receive a beat ing last night and the deliveryman accepted the invitation but returned the compliments before Leavitt could welcome him at the door. Leavitt was arrested- for disorderly conduct and the above conservation ensued be tween the bruised whipped host and Judge Urmy. A young boy named J. Charles At kins has run away from his father's home in Wichita and the police are looking for him. He is thought to be in Topeka. The poor old father is al most heartbroken and is on his way to -this city to find his only son The boy has light hair, blue eyes, wears a brown suit and a soft round hat. The person who sees this young boy and reports him to the police will re ceive the thanks and the prayers of the old father until his dying hour.

Saturday only JOAN OF ARC 10c Straight Cigar, 5c at The Smoke House, 608 Kan. Ave. which has long since died out was re vived last night in front of the .St. Charles hotel when Julius Marcian, a machinist at the Santa Fe shops ac cused a workman at the Smith plant of being a "scab." The words were followed by blows and then by threats. Marcian finally said that he would kill the auto tinker if he didn't get out of town and on his way out he stopped at the home of judge Urmy where he swore out a warrant and "Marcian was arrested at once. He was fined five dollars for being drunk and five dollars for assault in the court session this morning. He .would not admit that he had threatened the life of the Smith man but he did admit that he had called him a "scab" and stood by his declaration. Michael Hern and C. Ppooner of Kansas City, just entering their teens, were not satisfied with a rido on a Santa Fe freight train last night but insisted on talking politics with the train crew. The discussion ended in a free for all fight on the top of the swaying cars. No one was hurt ma terially but the two boys were ar rested and fined ten dollars each by the judge. Hern paid his fine and is now trying to scrape enough money together to pay out the Spooner lad. They were simply out on the road "Seeing the Country." MRS. BCRTOX NOT HELD AT JAIL. Allegation in Her Petition for Dam ages Somcwltat Different.

Johnson, it was stated yesterday that Mrs. Burton has been confined la jail for three hours at the time of the first suit a few months ago. Mrs. Bur ton was simply held in custody by the officers during this time and was not in Jail. The county attorney was per fectly willing to allow Mrs. Burton t take time for the signing of a bond but the officers had orders to take her at once and on account of this she charges she was taken when not suffi ciently, dressed and contracted a bad cold. It should also be stated that the ar rest and case wliloh brought about this action for damages was dropped by Mr. Johnson himself and did not come to trial. BEER AS A PREMIUM. Trade Winning Scheme Adopted ly Chicago Merchants. Chicago, Aug. 20. Gary, Ind., mer chants have formed a novel way to keep trade in the city. After a cus tomer has bought a bill of goods, the storekeeper asks: "Will you have a nice cold bottle of beer?" and the In variable answer If "I don t care if I do." This premium has won popularity with mill employes, who. since the city has become dry, have been cashing their pay checks in South Chicago and other pearby wet cities. In face of the busl-i-csB depression caused by the saloon ouster, several Gary merchants have made money through the new plan. N. H. WOLFF Kansas Ave. A

Millions of Birds Camp In Bethany Grounds. COME IN THE EVENING Leave at Daybreak in the Morning. Do Not Like Being Disturbed After Boosting Time. The old Topeka slogan, "73,000 in 1911," could be changed to "1,000.000 In 1909" If some of the new inhabit ants who have recently arrived were Included in the census report. Never In the history of Topeka has the city been Invaded by such a population. Kvery evening about 7 o'clock the vanguard of a million blackbirds soars majestically over Kansas avenue. TThis guard is foliowed by the aide-decamp of the king of them all and then as If by strategy a new tribe comes hovering over Eighth avenue from the north. This band is quickly followed by a swarm from the south and then multitudes from the west. For an hour these birds fly in thous ands to their nightly cots In the trees on the campus of Bethany college. A Topeka ornithologist who has been watching these blackbirds and study ing their habits for years claims that Topeka is the camping grounds of blackbirds for miles around. Every evening after they have finished their daily tasks of "hunting something to eat they gather together in flocks and as if by a signal from a far away setting sun they start on their Journey to Bethany. The first flock always comes from the west and the leader is followed by a tri angular shaped guard after this the birds are strung out about five abreast. Then the northern flyers appear, then the southern, followed closely by those from the east. It is said that the western birds gauge their flight by the sun and when they see Old So! bending down below the horizon they start the journey homeward. As to how the signal is given and the flight of the other tribes started no one knows but they always come in ap ple pie order. Their resting place at Bethany Is an ttg Place Have you ever investigated Irving Place? Listen, choice vacant lots 23 feet by 125 feet, 6 blocks from car line, high location, good water, nice place to build. Only $20 per lot. For cash 10 per cent discount.

The Shawnee Agency S34 Kan. Ave Phones 505 interesting place at night. The first band from the west always occupy the trees around the primary building on the eastern border of the campus. This is a quiet restful spot and the trees are large and are protected bet ter from the storms which always come up from the west or northwest. It is said that when a storm does ac cidentally come from the east and whips the trees occupied by the blacks that on their next trip to the college they will occupy a new position near the" main building. Needless to say every tree on the grounds is black with the birds before nightfall. There are one or two trees that have died this summer and the leaves have fallen but the birds make excellent use of these trees and at twilight it is hard to tell whether the tree is alive and healthy or whether It is covered like bark with the sleepy blackbirds. And the birds do not like to be dis turbed. One evening not long ago a young fellow and his lady love were strolling alone under the trees when the youth threw a small stick up into a tree which was inhabited from the lowest to the highest branch by the blacks. When the birds felt this stick come flying up in their midst they shrieked and left their perches and the flutter of a thousand wings sound ed like an artillery practice. The girl not knowing of the sleepers above her head gave one unearthly scream and sank to the grcund in a faint. When she regained her senses she asked the young man If there were going to be any, more "awful thunder claps." And with all of these birds roosting peacefully in the tree tops there is not a fire escape or an extinguisher. And there are no ropes or electric gongs to help them in case of Are and Chief Wilmarth has made no com plaint. Early in the morning before the hu man beings awake the birds swing away in the same orderly easy manner that they came. No one knows where they go but they always come back. STRANG IS FIRST.

If they are sick instructions will be given how to get well when that is possible and how to keep it from spreading to others of the family. The same general rules that hold good In the prevention of tubercu losis, also hold good in all other in fections and contagious diseases so that smallpox, typhoid fever and others will receive their share of consideration, and more than this, when time permits local unsanitary conditions will be con sidered. Unsightly and unhealthful lo calities in several towns have already been photographed and when these towns are reached these photographs will be reproduced so that the citizens of that town may see themselves as others see them. For the people generally there will be model sleeping rooms, .tents, sleeping bags, window tents, views of various sanitary and unsanitary homes taken from actual places in Kansas, healthful and unhealthful household appliancp and over two hundred views illustrating hygienic laws and showing the disease laden fly and mosquito.

It Is the purpose of Dr. Emley to hold tubercu losis symposiums in some of the larger cities with the .medical profession alone. This Is the first time in the history of Kansas that money has ever been appropriated directly and "primarily for the prevention of disease and it not only marks an epoch in thV sanitary history of the. state, but it places the people of Kansas not only among that intelligent class who "believe It Is belter to prevent disease than it is to cure it but also in tiie forefront of a world wide hygienic movement the greatest and most significant movement of this generation.

Nathalie Broni kowa. a young woman student of Rus sia, who is ambitious to complete her education in America, was a passenger on the Kupsian-Amerlean liner Estonia, which arrived at this port from Llbau a month ago. She had only a little money, and was turned back. She came again last Tuesday as a second cabin passenger In the Birma. equipped with letter of Introduction to educators and Russian friends, and money enough to last her for some time. She has short hair, and this made the Ellis Island physician who saw her on the Birma or der her to Ellis Island. She said that her short hair did not indicate anarch ist or revolutionary tendencies, but was characteristic of many women students of Moscow and other Russian cities', and that it was also looked upon as more sanitary than long hair. She was per mitted to land, and took a train for Chicago. My little lady has very closely imitated her small brother in the cut of many of her frocks.

Correct Dress for Women ALL WELL AT RILEY. Kansas Soldier Boys Comfortable at Camp Walter Itoscoc Stubbs. Junction City. Kan., Aug. 20. Of ficers at Camp Walter Roscoe Stubbs are congratulating: themselves at the expeditious manner In which the 1, 300 odd men who compose the Kan sas National guard were moved to Fort Riley. While two of the spec ial trains on which the men were transported were a little behind schedule in reaching: the post, all were detrained quickly and th com missary arrangements were such that the troops were able to get their sup per without delay or confusion. Of ficers of the guard feel that the various organizations were handled better than ever before in making cam p. Things are moving as smoothly at Camp Stubbs as though the guard had been there a week. The camp is located less than a half mile from the end of the street, car line and is nicely laid out. This week is being devoted mostly to company and battalion drills, with the usual programme -for troops in camp. There will be little change un til Friday when light maneuvers will take place with each of the two in fantry regiments separately. There will be no maneuvers on a very large scale until Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, when the two regiments and some of the regular troops from the post will take part in rather ex tended maneuvers. The battery will have the" benefit of some target practice on the Iort Riley range, but there have been no definite arrangements made as to time for this practice. Friday and Saturday promise to be the "big days of the encampment. This afternoon Governor Stubbs and a party of state officers came up from Topeka to remain in camp until Sun day morning. The party had a spec ial Pullman sleeping car attached to the afternoon train. At Fort Riley the party was met by a cavalry escort and taken to the camp. Most of the members of the party will use the car for a sleeping place tonight and Saturday nights, but Governor Stubbs will sleep in camp where a tent has been provided for him at the- headquarters of Adjutant General Martin. Saturday morning the' entire com mand will be reviewed by the gover nor and Saturday afternoon the field and track events, which are a new departure at encampments of the Kansas Xational guard, are to take place. It is expected that there will be hundreds of visitors from all over the state in camp Saturday to see the field events. WRIGHTS"BR1N6"SUIT. Allege That Curtiss Is Infringing on Their Patent. New York, Aug. 20. Wilbur and Or ville Wright. the aviators, have brought suit in the United State court here against the Aeronautic society of this city, alleging that the Herring Curtlss aeroplane which the society purchased and which has had several tryouts at Mineola. L. I., is an infringe ment on their patents. The Wrights de mand that the infringing machine be turned over to them for destruction and in addition ask that the court assess damages for threefold the amount of whatever losses they are found to have suffered by reason of the infringement and the public exhibition or rental ci the infringing machine. A hearing in the suit will probably be held early in October. Curtlss's Brilliant Performance. Rhelms, Aug. 20. The American aviator, Glenn Y. H. Curtiss, has added a dramatic feature to the trial flight of the aeroplanes entered for the con tests of aviation week by skillfully guiding his machine above another aeroplane, thus averting a collision. The feat was accomplished when, for the first time in history three heavier-than-alr craft were maneuvering at the same time. All were flying rapidly when suddenly Curtiss saw M. Duman set in an Antoinette monoplane ap proaching at right angles and on the same level with him. Curtiss, realizing the danger, elevated his planes. His machine instantly shot upward and oared safely over the Frenchman. The thousands of spectators who lined the ernrtrome watched the maneuver with ated breath, but when they saw it t cviUu S Mfiix "mMM- ?c- ir-- v K KANSAS CITY TOPEKA KANS. MO. successfully and brilliantly carried out they applauded the American wildly. The third machine in the air at this time was that of M. Tissandier. Experts were agreed that Mr. Curtiss had made a fine demonstration of his skill and ability to control his ma chine. They declared that his bl-plane was a real racer. STRIKE LOOMS UP. Chicago Street Car Men Reject Com panies' Proposed Wage Schedule. Chicago, Aug. 20. The rejection by the north and west side street car men's union of the proposed wage schedule offered by President Roach of the Chi cago Railway company, has reopened the controversy between the street car companies and their employes and again brings within the range of pos sibility a strike -of all street car men of this city. An amicable settlement of the dispute however, is still hoped for, based on the efforts which will probably be made by President William Mahon of the International Street Carmen's union, who is expected here today to take charge of the situation. It is probable President Mahon will ask for a reopening of the negotia tions and failing, it is expected he will offer to submit the entire matter to arbitration. According to Walter 1 Fisher, the traction expert, who repre sented the city in the recent negotia tions, the latter course is the only one r.ow left open. "I believe the companies will not yield another inch." declared Mr. Fisher today. Possibility of a strike prompted Act ing Chief of Police Schuettler to issue an order today instructing commanding officers to cancel all applications of po licemen for furloughs and also to learn the whereabouts of all policemen now off duty. MP MORE HIGH HATS. New Orleans Will Receive Taft In Plain Clothes. New Orleans, Aug. 20 President Taft and his party will be met at New Or leans, upon the termination of their tiip aon he Mississippi, river, in Oc tober, by "plain clothes" citizens. It has been decided that high hats and frock coats no longer constitute a pre requisite for service on reception com n. ittces. When Mr. Taft visited New Orleans last winter members of the reception committee numbering 2,000 persons were asked to don the habiliments that go with the tormai anans or the dayt me. Though this sort of attire has never been popular In New Orleans, all met the situation bravely in the face of dif ficulties. Mr. Taft will address the lakes to the gulf de-sp waterways convention Oc- trber 30, and will leave New Orleans Monday. Vice .President Sherman Speaker Cannon and other distinguish ed officials will address the waterways cenvention on aionaay, and Tuesday. SUES FOR $65,000,000.

H Uo4 i DAWSON AT ST. JOSEPH. Represents Kansas at the Annual Ad Club Oinjier. St. Joseph, Mo.. Aug. 20. The larg est and most pretentious banquet in the history of St. Joseph was the sec ond annual dinner of the St. Joseph Ad club at the Auditorium. An in spiring spectacle was presented in the splendid building when the 900 guests were seated at the long tables bedeck ed with flags, and flowers. The hall was brilliantly lighted and the out of town guests were enthusiastic in their praise of the edifice. There were four speakers John Dawson of Topeka, attorney for the Kansas board of railroad commission ers and former assistant attorney gen eral of the Sunflower state; Governor cnanes n. Haskell of Oklahoma; Wil liam M. Maupin of "iiincoln, deputy labor commissioner of Nebraska, and Senator Charles F. Krone of. St. Louis. Dawson represented Governor Stubbs who was unable to attend the dinner. He is having his eyes treated and his physician forbade the governor to come to St. Joseph. James M. Irvine acted as toastmaster and Mayor A. P. ciayton welcomed the guests in a characteristic speech. John Dawson, representing Kansas, was the first to respond to a toast and said: "I was taught in my youth that all things are possible with God, and I am still of that belief. I believe that the Almighty might have made a better state than Kansas if He had tried, but Me oian't tmnk it worth while to try." Mr. Dawson told of the increase in population from 8.000 in 1854 to 1.750.000 in 1909; of the increase in the number of school children from 5.000 in 1861 to 500.000 in 1909. He said Kansas ranks fifth in the Union in the value of its agricultural products; it has ranked first in wheat and first in corn, in bushels and in valuation. The value of Its farm products and livestock in 1908 was $475,000,000. Its bank deposits in 1904 were J103.O0O.00O. or $69 for every man, woman and child in the state. Its bank deposits In 1308 were $183,000,000, or $113 per capita. "Kansas is really a synonym for civic righteousness, progressive, citizenship and high ideals." said Dawson. "The spirit which animated the sturdy sons and daughters of Massachusetts who traveled across the plains to Kansas in the stormy days of the border ruf flan still flourishes in the hearts of Kansas men and women. It is reflect ed in their educational, political and religious ideals. Kansas is blessed with the most uncommon common people in the world." He said Oklahoma is the daughter of Kansas, as Kansas is the daughter of MassacnuseiLs. .tie toia or the tribula tions and stern trials through which Kansas came Into her own, and he closed witn tins toast: "To the Sunflower state and St. Jo seph. May there never be anything but tne oia .Missouri river Detween them." DEATH MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. St. Louis Woman Learns Her Husband Was Drowned at Seattle. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 20.

CHEVROLET BLINDED And Compelled by Dust to Quit the Tract. Strang's Car Caught Fire on the First Lap. Indianapolis, Aug. 20. Two lives were lost at the opening of the new Indian apolis motor speedway. William A. Bourque, driver of the Knox car in the 250 mile race, and Harry Holcomb, his mechanician, were-." killed by crashing into a fence. Robert Burman, driving a Buick, won the 250 mile-race, the feature of the day. It was this contest that cost Bourque and Holcomb their lives. The winner's time was 4:38:57 4-10 slow be cause of the many accidents that mar red the race. The Stoddard-Dayton (Clements) was second, in 4:46:01 8-10, and the National (Merz) finished third In 4:52:39 7-10. Another National was the onlv other car of ten starters to finish. The death of the two mer. caused the American association to Is sue an ultimatum to the owners of the track that certain changes must di made or sanction" for the remaining events will be withdrawn. The American- Automobile associa tion demanded that the track be freed from the many dangerous ruts and that every inch of it be thoroughly oiled and tarred. Only a short portion in front of the grandstand was oiled and the dust on the other parts Is blamed for the collapse of two drivers in the long race Louis Chevrolet and Fred Ellis who were blinded by the dense white mist that covered the major portion of the track. The Fatal Accident. The Knox car was in second place, with Burman in his Buick leading, and had covered nearly 150 miles when tha crash came. While coming down the home stretch the car suddenly oiverved and tore Into the fence at the left of the track, turning completely over nr.d pinning its two occupants beneath St. Both men were alive when taken from under the wreck, but Bourque died In the ambulance on." the way to the emergency hospital. Holcomb died a few minutes after' he arrived at the hospital. Stories as to the cause of the acci dent vary. According to one story, snm ethino- caused both men to sud- rleniv turn and look behind. As tho did so the steering wheel slipped from Bourque's hand and he threw his arms helplessly In tne air. men came in crash. One of the rear wheels was found few hundred feet from the scene of ths accident and this led to the advance ment of the theory that the axle nuLs had not been properly 1 tightened when the machine had taken on a new tire shortly before. TKSmcn probably felt that wheel slipping off and after tney looked behind they realized tneir neip lessnesa to prevent- an accident. Bourque was 26 years old and lived at Springfield, Mass. He naa rjeen a rac in? driver since 1907. He finished sec ond in the recent Cobe trophy race at Crown Point. Ind.. and shortly before he had been seriously injured when his car overturned in a mil cumDinir con test near Worcester,. Mass., In May. Holcomb was 22 years old and lived at Grandville, Mass. He was consldei ed one of the best mechanicians in th racing business. Both men were un married. Chevrolet Compelled to Quit. Albert Denison. the racing partner of Bourque, collapsed after the accl dent and the services of a physician were required. The sight of the men lving dead was too much for the friend of both, who has been called noon so often to face death In the su m a manner. Louis Chevrolet, the French driver of the Buick, 'was led Into the hos pjtal almost blinded with the tar and dust from the track shortly af ter the two men had died. The Frenchman, who had been leading during the early part of the long race, was forced to give up. He gazed for a moment upon the bodies of his two former rivals of the track, then overcome by. emotion, staggered to a chair. As a result of the two deaths the Knox company has withdrawn all Its entries for the next two days and It Is said it will probably never again enter its cars In a race. The 250-mile race teemed with dra matic incidents and disappointments. The following cars started In the con test: Knox (Bourque), National (Kin raidl. National (Morse), Stoddard Dayton (Miller), Buick (Burman), Buick (Strang). Buick (Chrevrolet) Jackson (Ellis), and Stoddard-Day ton (Clements). Strang was the first man to come to grief, as his car caugnt nre Deiore ne had completed one lap. The fire so injured his machine that he dropped out after making a brief, effort to re- rain his lost ground. Chevrolet dash ed into the lead at the start and held it for 52 laps, or more than half the race, with the brief exception of the fifteenth and sixteenth laps, when he relinquished it to his teammate, Bur man. the winner. When ne was blind ed by dust he was led from the track and his car withdrawn. Miller and a Stoddard-Dayton also gave up his los ing race about this time.- After Chevrolet had withdrawn Burman again went to the lead, with Bourque second and Kincaid in a Na tional third. This order continued until the fatal accident to the Knox. Kincaid then moved Into second place and Ellis in a Jackson loomed as a contender In third place. Burman led until the 82nd lap. When the 205 miles had been covered he dropped back to second, while Ellis, who had passed Kincaid. took the lead, with Burman second and Clements in a Stoddard-Dayton third. Then the Jackson began to en counter a string of mishaps that fin ally put it out of the race. Finally Ellis fell from his seat In a dead faint and was carried to the hospital. With the Jackson out of commis sion, Burman was able to regain his lead with Clements second and Kin caid third. This order continued un til the finish.

Road Is Getting Ready to Han dle Its Share of Crops. a viaduct over the Rock Island tracks. This is good news to Herin&ton peo ple who hope the road will carry out their plan in its minutest detail. ROCK ISJUVXT) IMPROVEMENTS. ARE HIRING MORE MEN Recent Consolidation Considered Omen of Betterment. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Chanute, Kan., Aug. O.E. F. Kearney, general superintendent' of transportation of the Missouri Pacific lines, declares that the indications for a. prosperous year never were better and that the company is preparing for a heavy fall transportation. The company has just ordered thirty new engines which will be distributed over the various lines of the company. A revival in railroad business means that the shops which were retrench ing a couple of years ago,, will be working in full blast again. Men are being asked for every., day at the chops and an effort will be made to secure enough help to run the shops to capacity. Bigger shop appropria tions will be mad to et all the bad orders out of the way before the talJ crops commence to move. Mr. Kearney not only says that the Missouri Pacific will hve a prosper ous year, but that all of the railroads of the country will have a better busi ness and that they will be taxed to capacttv to move the traffic. -It will be the greatest year in the history of railroading, and the Mis souri Pacific will have everything in readiness to reach out" for the "busi ness," said Mr. Kearney. The consolidation of all of the branch lines is another indication that the men who are in charge of affairs men who watch Wall street and the business of tho country, fully realize that the business of the country is on a. revival, or they would not be invest ing in such great sums in new equip ment. "Crop conditions all over the coun try are good." said Mr. Kearney, and then, too, the merchants are buying more heavily. This is not because they bought short last year, but be cause thev see the demand for heavier buving. The people will have more money to spend and when money is kept in circulation trade conditions are always good. Tho railroads are all ordering new steel and new equip ment and the manufacturers' are be hind with their orders. Double forces of men are being worked now in.many factories and if a condition like this doesn"t mean anything the business men of the country are missing their guess.' v Take Harrlman to Country Place. New York. Aug. 20. A conference of the most intimate friends and phy sicians of Mr. E. H. Harriman was held this morning and it was deter mined on his arrival to take him off the steamer by a small boat and move him at once to his country place to recuperate. Xew Mo. Pac. Depot for Herington. Herington. Kan., Aug. 20. Several Missouri Pacific officials were" in town this week making measurements about the present depot and at the Rock Island crossing. They said the management of the road ha3 decided to put in a fine new depot and build Will Relay Track on Entire Division in Missouri. Kansas City, Mo., Aug-. 20. For the good reason that he is a constructing engineer as well as an expert operat ing man, Garrett Davis has been transferred from the superintendency of the Cedar Rapids division of the Rock Island to that of the St. Louis division, the line running between Kansas City and St. Louis, the two ends of which will be practically re constructed within the present year. Announcement has been made that the Yoakum management will spend more than $1,000,000 on this hereto fore neglected division before the work under contemplation Is com pleted. On the east end of the line between Belle and St. Louis, the. present sixty-pound rails will be. replaced with eighty-five-pound steel and similar improvement will be made between Kansas City and "Windsor. The mid dle of the division is already in very good condition and when the work is finished on the east and west ends, an other first class line of railroad will connect Kansas City with St. Loui3 and the Rock Island will be in shape to offer the other roads more lively passenger competition than is pos sible at present. This division of the Rock Island has possibilities of being converted into, one of the best trans-state pas senger lines in Missouri. It has one virtue possessed by few other roada, that of being high and dry, although it is obvious that this must be some what offset by more decided grades. At no place between here and St. Louis is there a possibility of the line being put out of operation by high water, which fact was amply demon strated by the recent floods from which so many of the older lines suffered. XEW KATY ROUNDHOUSE. Junction City Is Talking About Jtew Improvements. Junction City, Kan., Aug. 20. The chief topic in railroad circles the past few days has been the new Katy roundhouse. There is plenty of evi dence that the new brick roundhouse, which was spoken of some time ago, will be built here within a short time. During the past few days, tho M. K. T. freights have brought to this city six car loads of grading imple ments belonging to L. C. Lovelace of Marysville. The implements have been unloaded in the Katy yards, north of the depot. In the lot are a number of large wagons, and se dozen scrapers and graders and other implements. ROCK ISLAND-FRISCO MOVE. Xew Road Chartered to Connect Xew Orleans and Pensacola. New Orleans, La., Aug. 20. Ar ticles of incorporation for a new rail road to connect New Orleans and Pensacola, Fla., have been filed here. The charter names the company as the Xew Orleans and Gulf States Rail road company and fixes its authorized capital at $5,000,000. It is believed in local railroad cir cles that the Frisco-Rock Island sys stem is behind the enterprise. Xew Twirler for Senators. Washington. Aug. 20. Manager Cantillon of the Washington Ameri cans, has added "Doc" Reisling of the York Tri-State league to his pitching staff. Reisling will report at Detroit today. Baseball Phone.
