Should Judge Porterfield dismiss the writs, nothing but a recall of the re quisition papers granted by the gov ernor of Missouri can prevent the tak ing of Mrs. James G. Barclay of Buf falo, N. Y.. and J. N. Gentry of Kan sas City, to Topeka, to stand trial. James G. Barclay, an automobile dealer, of Buffalo, husband of Mrs. Barclay is on his way to Kansas City to assist h!s wife. Chauffeurs Tell Their Story. Roxey Ross ard Will Bucy, two boy ish looking ehauffeurs.employed by a lo al automobile livery company and who carried the kidnaping party from To jeka to Valley Falls, where the ma chine broke down, today told Inspector of Detectives Ed Boyle, the story of their engagement for the trip. "Mrs. Barclay. Mr. Gentry and an other man engaged the car at Kansas City early Saturday morning," said Ross today. "We drove them to To :eka. They told us to stop at the old hospital near the outskirts of town. We were there hardly an hour when a horse and buggy containing Mrs. Barc lay, Gentrv and a child dashed up. Centry pushed Mrs. Barclay into the machine and Jumping In himself, or dered us to drive north a3 fast as pos sible. I began to suspect something. "Between Valley Falls and Atchison, the car broke down. We got out and began tinkering with it. I said to Bucy, Never find a piece of this machine.' We unscrewed a number of parts and scattered them in the dust. When the car would not run any more Gentry got out and left us. The party had been gone only 10 minutes when a car loaded with Topeka people in search of the kidnapers came along. But they were too late. We went to a farm house and had dinner and then came back to Kansas City." The nolice are looking for a second ran who accompanied Gentry and Mrs. Barclay from Kansas City to Topeka. He is known, and Inspector Boyle be lieves he will be captured by night. Second Habeas Corpus Case. Kansas City, Aug. 24. Another ha beas corpus order in the case of Marian Bleakley, the incubator baby of St. Louis world's fair fame, was granted Itfonday afternoon. Judge Porterfleld ordered Chief of Police Snow to appear with the child in court Wednesday. At this time the court will decide who shall have the child her mother, Mrs. J. J. Bleakley "f Topeka, Kansas, or the woman who adopted her and now is being held on a charge of kidnaping Mrs. James G. Xiarclay of Buffalo, N. Y. Attorneys for Mrs. Barclay secured the order late yesterday. They de clared to the court that Mrs. Barclay was the legally adopted mother of the child, and that the motherhood of Mrs. Bleakley had not been proven con clusively. This latest fight for custody of the child Is entirely apart from the kid naping charge. Mrs. Barclay declares nil she wanted was to get the child Into Missouri so as to get action from the Missouri courts. No matter what the outcome of the kidnaping case, Mrs. Barclay, her attorneys say. will con tinue her fight for the child. Hearing of a habeas corpus writ which re Strained the extradition of Mrs. Bar- clay and J. N. Gentry to Topeka, for trial is also set for Wednesday. Meanwhile the police retain charge of little Marian. Her mother. Mrs. Bleak ley, was not permitted to remain with her last night. She left the police sta tion weeping? but expressing- confidence that her child would be restored to nor. Mrs. Barclay Talks. It was the story of true love for a child which did not return her affec tions that Mrs. Stella Barclay, the fos ter mother "of little Marian Roberta Bleakley, told at police headquarters last night. Then, as if the confession had relieved her of indifference, she talked freely of the incidents sur rounding the kidnaping of the child last Saturday in Topeka. Mrs. Barclay declared that her love for the little girl was aa great as any mother's. "And why should not it be?" she asked. "Ask any woman how much she would love a child whom she had watched over day and night for a year, nursing its faint flicker of life into a flame, and bringing its puny body to health. And perhaps I can say with out boasting that it was nothing ex cept my care and love which finally made her sturdy and healthy as any youngster." Mrs. Barclay said that five weeks ago she went to Topeka and saw the little girl near a kindergarten which the child attended. She talked to her foster daughter, she said, but did not disclose her identity. She declared that by careful questioning she learned that the child's mind had been poison ed against "a Mrs. Barclay," and the little one had been taught to believe that Mrs. Barclay sought to kill her. It was then that she decided to kid nap the child, Mrs. Barclay declared. She returned to Kansas City and made the necessary arrangements. "You know the rest," she told the inquirer, as she sank back among the pillows in the matron's room at po lice headquarters. She reached out a tender hand and caressed the little girl, who was present at the interview. The child neither returned nor visibly objected to the caress. A question was asked about the flight from Topeka. "All I wanted to do," she said, "was to get into Missouri. I didn't expect to escape with the child, but wished to go where I could secure an un biased Judgment. I won't be any hap pier when I cross the river Jordan than I was when we crossed the toll bridge at Atchison. Throwing on full speed we flew across the bridge and into Missouri. I did not care after that." SOW MR. BARCLAY IS MISSING. Lights in the Home in Buffalo, But So One Is at Home. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 24. James G. Barclay, whose wife adopted the "incu bator baby," entered a motor car Sat urday night and has not been seen since. The Barclays live here In the Wellesley apartment house at Franklin and Edward streets. Early Sunday morning the Barclay apartment was locked. The shades were partly down and the lights burning. Attempts were also made Sunday afternoon and even ing and last night, but no one could be found, and the apartment was in the same condition as on the first visits. MARIAN- BLEAKLEY I TJXD. Money Is Being Left at the Prudential Trust Company. Since the first announcement in the State Journal last night to the effect that a fund w-ould be started in Topeka for the benefit of Mrs. Charlotte Bleak ley, whose financial standing is not able to conduct in hte courts the cases in which she will make a frantic effort to regain her kidnaped child, a number of the good people of Topeka have taken up the id a with determination and the fund has reached a half hundred dol lars. Mrs. Barclay, the kidnaper of little Marian Bleakley, has spent J12.000 in an attempt to take the child from the natural mother and she has stated that she will spend $12,000 more if it is possible to get possession of the inno cent incubator child. Marian Bleakley. The case is now before the Kansas City courts and Mrs. Barclay is lavishing money with the legal world in an at tempt to take from Mrs. Bleakley of Topeka her rightful child. The funds 'or the return of little Marian to Topeka ar-3 being accepted at the office of the Prudential Trust company, corner Seventh and Kansas avenue. Every cent taken to this ofllce will be placed on record and the sub scriptions will be published ofllcially by the State Journal every evening. From the inside information received from different Topeka officials it is sta ted that there will be considerable trou ble in the proceedings at Kansas City the officers and legal fraternity at that city seem to be radically in favor of the Barclay woman. It will be a hard uphill fight for the Topeka woman and her little child and this fund is for the C Continued on Page Eight.') HUNDREDSjJROWN Excursion Steamers Collide in Harbor of Montevideo. Those Lost Were Mostly Women and Children. GOING TO FESTIVAL. One of the Vessels Went Down So Quickly That Attempts at Rescue Were Practically Hopeless. Bueno- Ayres, Aug. 24. A collision between two excursion steamers at the entrance to Montevideo harbor today resulted in the drowning of from 150 to 300 persons, mostly women and children. The vessels were the Argentine steamer Colombia, carrying passengers from Buenos Ayres to tho festival at Montevideo, and a German steamer also engaged in the local passenger service. The latter went down so quickly that all atempts at rescue were practically hopeless. It is said that the captain of the Ger man steamer and a few of the passen gers were saved. The captain had to be restrained from committing suicide. CURTIS ON LOOK OUT Kansas Senior Senator Hasn't a Clear Path. There are many people who main tain that an old fashioned Colt's single action revolver in expert hands is a more effective weapon than any auto matic gun made and handled by thj progressives of today. This question will be tested some day in Kansas when the Chief of the Shawnees walks through the political woods of his home state and is ambushed by the two chiefs of the square deal tribe. In an Interview this week Senator Curtis stated that the western senators did not get all they wanted, but they se cured every concession that they could. Senator Curtis voted with the insur gents on all important schedules that affected his constituents such as lum ber, print paper, pulp, etc. The senator declined to discuss the matter of Governor Stubbs candidacy for the United States senate at thU time. He declared positively that he had no thought of starting or abetting any fight on the governor for a second term. As to whether or not Governor Stubbs had made good and twaa en titled to the usual courtesy of a secon 1 term without serious opposition was a matter for the people of the state to decide without the necessity or call for any party faction or senatorial inter ference. Senator Curtis disclaimed any connection with the machine crowd in Kansas politics and thought his recorl bore out his contention, neither did he believe that he should be accused of belonging to the reformers of the square deal brand. He was satisfied to be a plain Republican and represent the people as a whole to the best of hU ability. He was willing to meet the tariff re vision issue fairly and squarely ar-i discuss it from any angle but had nothing to say about congressional or gubernatorial matters at this time nor any phase of state politics. He declared that the appointment of a Kansas lawyer to a place in th chamber of Justice under Attorney General Wickersham would be made early next fall and that a man had al ready been decided upon for the place; also that Kansas would get another place in the legal department of th? navy bureau. He stated that no name would be mentioned until the appoint ments were made. The square dealers of Kansas endorse Senator Bristow's stand for the west and against the protected interests of the east. If President Taft is on the side of the Rhode Island senator why so much the worse for him. They plac- the interests of their state above that of party and administration. They believe that a real revision of the tariff is demanded by the west and that any make-shift bill should have been de feated and thus the matter checkel V There Seems to Be Some Doubt About the Efficacy of Their New squarely up to- the easterners and the friends of the -protected interests. The fight between Chief Curtis and Chief Stubbs in the, political woods will hinge largely upon the depth and strength of tariff revision sentiment In this state. It is hard to estimate thij sentiment accurately at this time. From the surface it appears that onl Bristow, and Murdock- would be sent back to Washington if an election were to be held next fall.- Wise and crafty politicians often make the mistake o: understanding public sentiment. Sen- ator Curtis is a mighty chief, and a master, of his weapons, but he will have to shoot fast and straight to make the people of his-ewn state believe that the tariff bill for-which, he voted with Aldrich on 82 schedules out of a pos sible 106. is anything but a New Eng land protection act in which the west pays the freight. Anyway, one. thing is certain, had the popular and able chief of the Shawnees voted and talked -with the insurgents during the special session he could have roamed the political woods abovs mentioned-unarmed and- unafraid of any oppostion at all for his place in the senate. As it is. Chief Stubbs and Sailor Dolley with a large following are camping in that .patch of woods wait ing the approach of a thickset Indian with a black jnoustache and an en dorsement from the great white father at Washington of all his senatorial acts. Will this passport carry him through?. HE SHOT 21 'PERSONS. Crazy Xegro Was. Finally KUled and His Body Burned. Monroe, La., Aug. 24. Half crazed, either by -whisky- or cocaine. Bill Way, a negro, from Hinevllle,- Ark., injured 21 persons today when he ran down the main stret of Monroe, with a shotgun, firing in every direction. Citizens re turned the fire and the negro finally fell dead, after receiving a score or more of wounds. i When the negro fell his body wa3 dragged into the street and later taken to a public square and burned in the presence of several thousand people. The negro appeared on the street with his shotgun under his arm and his pockets 'filled with shells. When he started to fire citizens who were armed, forced him into' a door. He would fire, step back into the doorway, reload h3 gun and fire again. H finally fell with a bullet through his heart. Four of the 21 citizens who were wounded by the negro are in a serious condition, while the injuries of the oth er 17 are of teinor nature. GOULDS ARE "DIVORCED.

The Arrest of Suspicions Per sons Continues. UNDER ARMED GUARD Funerals of the Dead Strikers Will Be Conducted. Additional Details Regarding the Riot Coming: Out. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 24. The sec ond day of the reign of martial law in McKees Rocks, the scene of Sun day night's turbulent disorders in and about the plant of the Pressed Steel Car company, augured well for a tem porary truce of hostilities. The arrival of additional state po lice under command of Captain Robertson, of the Wilkesbarre bar racks, evidently had a quieting effect upon the foreign strikers and their sympathizers. Even at the early hour of dawn, the few persons who were going about their business on the the streets of McKees Rocks carried about them an air of peaceableness in sharp contrast to their agitated ap pearance of the past 48 hours. From now on, mounted troopers and deputy sheriffs, will patrol Schoonville and the car plant, day and night, rendering well nigh impos sible a recurrence of Sunday night's unrestrained violence. The arrest of suspicious persons will continue, according to a state ment made by Captain Marsh. An additional box car Jail was prepared before dawn as the two now. in use are over crowded with 82 prisoners. Today will be marked by the funerals of the rioters to be held in the Greek Catholic church, McKees Rocks. It is the intention of the strikers to attend in a body and accompany- the strikers' bodies to the cemetery for interment. To offset any demonstrations at the funeral of the strikers, deputy sheriffs will be present at the church and grave yard. The bodies of Troopers John Smith and John L. Williams were forwarded to their homes early today, the former to Centralis, Pa., and the latter to Pueblo, Colo. The caskets were heaped with wreaths and floral tributes, re membrances from the state and county authorities as well as comrades of the dead troopers. The burial of Deputy Sheriff Harry Exley was also held early today. Sheriff Gumbert, for the cotmty of Allegheny, remembered his brave deputy with a wreath. It has developed that -Trooper Wil b'ams. just before he left Greensburg, Pa., expressed his belief to his com rades at the barracks, that he was on his way to his death at McKees Rocks. "Fellows," he Is reported to have said. "I feel certain that something is going to happen at McKees Rocks and for the first time since I have joined the constabulary, I feel like turning awav from duty." Williams was one of the first to fall In the Sunday night riots and as his body lay in the morgue, the features were hardly ..distinguishable as, after death." he had been" trampled upon and beaten almost, beyond recognition. It has developed that Deputy Sheriff Harry Exley' did hot fire his revolver Sunday night until he himself was shot at and probably wounded, according to a statement made, "by Sheriff Gumbert, who absolved Exley of the blame of being the aggressor in precipitating the clash between the authorities and the strikers. Sheriff Gumbert also announced that he had received a letter from the pres ident, of the Pittsburg Railways com pany, requesting protection for passen gers and cars passing through the Mc- KeCs Rocks strike zone. The sheriff said that certain lines entering Schoen ville will discontinue service temporarily-until order is restored. Graphic sidelights of the riotous hours of Sunday night have just pierced the veil of gloom that has surrounded McKee's Rocks for the past 48 hours. Loopholed and barricaded Greene's hotel resembled a block house during the fatal riots. A number of the Hud son river workmen employed in the car works, board at the hotel, and James Fangled Weapons. Greene, the proprietor, received word that his" place would be dynamited Sun day night unless these men were evict ed. Hastily calling a' consultation with his guests, Greene decided that with their help, he would defend the place. A dozen of the men staying at the hotel armed themselves with revolvers and shot guns and stood off the strikers when two raids were made on the building. The arrival of the state police on the scene prevented the commission of the mob's scheme. In a room in an empty house near "Bloody Corner" Lieutenant Smith of the state police, late last night discov ered the hat of Trooper Williams. Lieu tenant Smith sairthat the hat was un doubtedly left there by three men who hid in the house when pursued by troopers. Terror is dominant in the hearts of the handful of nonparticipants who live in Schoenville. Affiliated neither with the troopers and deputies nor with the strikers and their allies, these trades men and their families anxiously wavch each morning for the detail of troopers to take up their position at "Bloody Corner," and with a sigh of regret see the detachment ride away into the stockade for the night. During the past 48 hours, no person, male or female, has entered or left the strike zone without being thoroughly searched. Weapons have been taken on a few, unaware of the rigid exami nation that must be passed by all that enter or leave the lines. ROBBED OF $15,000. New York Pickpockets Make Rich Haul From Mrs. Jane Lucas. New York, Aug. 24. Mrs. Jane Lucas of Newark, J., has reported to the police that while in New York, pick pockets relieved her ol bonds, Danx books and money representing a total of J15.000. Mrs. Lucas came to this city to arrange for a trip to Europe and about 8 o'clock last night she boarded a trolley car in Jersey City for her home. The securities and cash were in a pocket of an underskirt and she be lieved them to be safe, until she ar rived at her home. Among the miss ing property are $10,000 worth of bonds of the city of Manchester, Eng., and $1,000 in Bank of England notes. "SUICIDE SEEKER" HURT Burt Williams Sustains Serious l-Yac-ture of the Skull. Waukesha, Wis., Aug. 24. Burt Will iams, billed on park vaudeville cir cuits as the "Suicide Seeker," was pro bably fatally injured while doing his act at Waukesha Beach yesterday. Wil liams leaps the gap on roller skates turning a backward somersault into the lake. He turned the somersault too quick and struck his head on the chute, sustaining a fracture -of the -skull. Ren dered unconscious by the blow, he nar rowly, escaped drowning, but was res cued by spectator on the pier. FRISCO TO NEW ORLEANS Entrance to Be Made Over the Tracks of L. R. N. Road. New Orleans. Aug. 24. After many de lays and much difficulty in securing an entrance to New Orleans, it was posi tively announced by St. Louis San Francisco officials today that the trains of that svstem would be run into this city on September 1. It is planned the road shall eventually run into New Orleans on its own tracks. In the meantime the tracks of the Louisiana Railway Navigation -company will be used between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. It Is Cooler Today. Temperatures are generally lower today, but there is no immediate prospect of a break in the drought. The forecast is the same old shop worn Generally fair. it looks a little like rain this afternoon, but all signs fail in dry weather. Monday's highest temperature' was 94, and the lowest last night was 65. Today's temperatures show a decided im provement, and beside that, the wind i3 blowing 20 miles an hour from the south. The hourly temperatures: 7 o'clock 67 8 o'clock 73 9 o'clock 78 10 o'clock. 83 11 o'clock 88 12 o'clock. .89 1 o'clock 90 2 o'clock 89 LOST IMPOUNDS. Harriman Is Going to Arden to Get It Back. Sends Wireless Message to Asso ciated Press. HE HAS NOr CHANGED Still Stands for What lie Said Before Sailing. Country Is on a Very Substan tial Basis. New York. Aug. 24. Mr. E. H. Harriman. who is now approaching New York, after several months' sojourn in Europe, today sent in re sponse to a request the following wireless message to tho Associated Press: "On board steamship Kaiser Wil helm IL via wireless to Sagaponack. "My condition is good. I am go ing back to Arden for the after curs and to regain 10 pounds which I left at the Gasteln cure. The condition of the American crops makes the out look bright and business conditions for the country safe. "The views I rxprnscd June 1. before leaving the United States have uiiurigune no cnange. i Mr. Harriman's statement of June 1, which he now says is applicable to conditions today, said in part: "The business of the country is on a very substantial basis. All that is needed is a realization on the part of the farmers of the preparations for prosperity which have been so liber ally made. There are more acres in. cultivation than ever before in the history of the country and if we have favorable weather and correspond ingly large crops. I look for happy times. There will be a big burst of speculation and a rise in the prices of everything, but these will qulckly f-ade down from' the top to what ever level the crops will make logical. I look to see the improvement in con ditions go on. The time is ripe, how ever, for a warning as to the proper employment of idle money. Wo should be careful that this money be not devoted to the supposed develop ment of fake projects but on the contrary used in the upbuilding of real undertakings resting upon solid foundations. "There was no necessity for the 1907 panic. That panic was directly causf-d by the extraordinary Land is decision and the general attitude pre vailing at the time' against the rail roads and corporations- generally. There' Is no mistake about this. I know what I am talking about be cause I went through it all. It was a panic of sentiment. As far as the mental attitude of the public is con cerned we are on a saner basis to day than we were In 1907." Vice President Lovett. and a num ber of directors of the Union Pacific, went down to the quarantine station on the Southern Pacific tug El Toro. to meet Mr. Harriman. The Kaiser Wil helm II, arrived at quarantine station at 11:15 p. m. The tug El. Toro with Judge Lovett and other friends of Mr. Harriman drewi alongside the steamship. Mr. Harrimart was rather pale and thin, but his voice sounded firm and strong. Beyond say ing that he was feeling better. Mr. Har riman declined to discuss either his health or business. "I promised not to talk until I met the newspaper men going out to Ar den." he said, "and I think I had bet ter keep my word.." Mr. Harriman said he would remain on the Kaiser Wilhelm II until sha reached the dock. Union Pacific lMvidends. New York, Aug. 24.

pying the lowliest position in the Western League pennant race has riven Topeka the hardest encounters of the season. Again yesterday they hung it on through the medium o,f Farthing, the same brush pitcher who was batted out of the lot in the first inning of that weird encounter of Sunday. Spencer Arthur Abbott Pulls Off Some thing on First. Forrester started the game for To peka but while batting in the second innfng was hit on the finger while striking at a. ball and waa fnrrort to retire. This Farthing person simply had the locals at his mercv all the txy uiruugn. ai une nine ne sirucK oui me inree leaaers in tne Datting order and at another time fanned four in succession in two different Innings. The rest of the time the lo cals were hitting them high and shoot ing ducks. Wrasty Right again started the game but after six innings of punish ment Cooley sent him home and young Darrah was again substituted as first aid to the injured. Darrah possesses the goods and pitched a great game for the last three innings. The chief stumbling block for the locals was the arrangement of the Lincoln batting order in such a way that It brought Thomas, Davidson and Hogriever to bat at the same time. In the second inning this trio batted in two runs and again in the third repeated. In the second Jack Thomas led off with a single and Davidson doubled putting runners on second and third. Hogriever poked the ball into right field and two runs scored. This same Thomason led off with a double to left field in the third. and Davy tripled. Pigriever singled again and Davidson scored the fourth run of the game. The last run came in- the eighth when Jude singled and took third on Davidson's peculiar infield hit. David eon started to steal and while the light complexioned one -was being chased up and down between the bags. Chippewa Jude scored from third. The only result attained through the struggling efforts of the home talent was realized in the sixth. Honus Kunkel led off with a pass and scor ed on successive hits by Kahl and Henry. Cooley did all he could to win the Same. He shifted the batting order around and worked nearly all of his players In the game. Besides he took personal charen of the wnrtrifnir n f his pitchers. Two pinch hitters went in and three changes were made in the lineup of the team but all to no avail. These Links just have it on us and the quicker they go hence the better It will be for the nerves of the fans, and the public in general The feature of the game was the terrifio battine of BIllv rnvlWn nf the Links.

Umpire Glenalvin had a bad day on balls and strikes, and made two pretty questionable decisions on the pases, one at a luuai tame last inning which beat Thomason out or a nlt- nunKei piayea mo uiu nmo wit twn trick on Jude in the fifth. The little Indian had tripled and Kunkel re tained the ball on Wooley's throw. Jae left third and was an easy out. I Abbott's somersault was a dinger, I He Ju8t simply fell over and couldn t i stop until he had put his avoirdupois through one complete revolution. Hogriever who was pasted In the head Sunday played second base and delivered two nice singles in pinches. Reilly was to have been given a rest on account of his charles-horse, but the strenuousness of conditions made it necessary to go in. Walter Boles was also pressed in service at bat in the fifth, playing the sixth In ning at short and finishing the game in left, after Landreth had yielded his turn at bat to Reilly. Darrah shows well, and Improves with every appearance. For a young ster he possesses unusual coolness, and is backing up the infielders on every play. Seven flies were knocked during the game. This with eight strikeouts, didn't leave much room for swelling the run column The Boosters who are right up in the running are here tomorrow. The Topecks have taken a majority of the contests between the two. teams and will fight for the next one. Again it is asked. "What Is the mat- i ter with Wrastyright?" ma of being a "busher."

Sioux City at Pueblo. Jimmy Cockman, the St. Paul player who was sold to the Links about a month ago reported to the Links last night. He complains of the miserable train service which kepi him from Join ing the team four weeks ago. If Lincoln had a few more men like Davidson, the team would be up in the running. Eddie Gagnier, who is a Detroit boy. played the season of 1894 as batboy on the Detroit club while Glenalvin was playing second base on the same club. McManus. who has not been working with the Des Moines team for several days got in yesterday and did some good work. He was up twice with a pair of hits, one a double. McManus will be in Topeka tomorrow and the fans will get- to see him work again. He certainly Is one grand catcher when he Is going right.

Omaha Bee: The Western League race is- by no means over. In fact it has only begun to get real exciting, Ducky Holmes was too hasty in re marking at the end of his last series in Omaha that "It's all over now; I'-i going fishing." Of course. Ducky may go fishing at any time he sees fit, the sooner the better for some concerned. But the chances are he is digging some thing else beside bait today. Ducky must beat Omaha and Des Moines, two most formidable opponents, before it is cinched and the way things are drift ing just now there is ample room to doubt his ability to beat either. While Omaha is still crippled by the absence of Schipke, a man It counted so much on, it has shown by its victories at Denver that it Is in excellent fighting form and is going down the line to the finish with a big head of steam on. El Paso has made Denver a flatter ing offer for the services of Jack Za lusky, who is now catching for Fort Collins while under suspension. Zalus ky probably won't want to leave his present Job. Omaha has a new shortstop. Potts, who is playing a good game. This puts King in the outfield and old Danny Green is playing the bench. Efforts are being made by the Des Moines management to get the series temmencing Sunday transferred from Wlcltita to Des Moines on account of it; being fair week. Hoffman, the little third baseman of the Links will doubtless play the bench for a few days, at least. Cockman will be placed on third while Hogriever will continue on second. Young Hoffman glvea promiSe but is starting the game too early in life.. Des Moires Capital: Who will win who cou'.d answer this question with any degree of certainty today wouldn't be believed anyway. While Des Moines ijs battling at Denver. Omaha grapples with the Pueb!o Indians.- the Sioux Champs with Wichita at that place end Lincoln is at Topeka, the dispute waxes warm. There is a large delega- tion who do not hesitate to sav that Ducky" has the rag in his pocket as absolutely as if it were waving on the I flag pole at the Packer park. But there are always many to back oia cnam pions. with reason or no. Ducky s Thousands there are who are backing ithis aggregation to cop the bunting. 'And to the close observer Omaha still looks a team to be reckoned with. Rill" Wcit In a tower of strenirth and bis acquisition at such a crisis as this J by such a team as omana is not to be tneanlv reckoned. Omaha has won three 'out of five games against Denver away Urom home and Is hitting a more ter rific clip every day. These three re the bad actors. The outsiders -continue to hope, but if any besides those lined up In the above paragraph land the Western pennant it will be a baseball miracle.- There is spice in the reflec tion, however, that baseball miracles in this hard-headed age are the sort in commonest circulation.

This is th second disgrace in the Central Kansas within two days and the state, once known as bleeding Kansas will soon become known as such in the baseball world. Something shoulu be done if the respect of the fans is maintained. All the umpires in the Central Kansas this season have had plenty of trouble and umpiring in that circuit seems to be really worse than going to war. Salina still has a good chance at that pennant, notwithstanding the loss of yesterday's game. The Salina team Is but three or four games behind first place and if Ellsworth would drop a few games, while the Salines are win ning, it would make a difference in the race. No game was played at Junction City yesterday, which would indicate that the directors are firm in their inten tions of not playing again this season. There are plenty of other towns, how ever, which could fit In nicely in the Central Kansas. So nicely in fact that Junktown wouldn't be missed.

Much Interest centers in the meeting of the executive representatives of the rail road employes of the Gould system called to be held in St. Louis today In which the question of management of the hospital facilities for the sys tem w..l be taken up, with the view of securing some voice in such man agement for the employes the TTnrJpr the nresent system, the em ployes of the Missouri Pacific con nH ihpv Vibvp no voice in the con duct of the hospitals, although the 10,000 employes represent that they pay probably 160,000 to the support of such railroad hospitals. The sentiment is the same as that which prompted corporator: en. ninvn throueh their executive com mittee, to seek the passage of the law xt. ice aeasinn of the legislature giving a majority of the employes of a corporation the right to select their enmnanv uhvsician. instead of leaving this to be done by the corporation Thpri is no particular criticism missed on the fact that the company had selected the physicians, except in the contention that the principle .of KPlf-srovernment ought to be ap plied, since the employes had to pay the doctor. In the present case there seems to be little criticism as to the manage ment of the hospitals as a specific nmnnsiilnn but the employes insi thut o an abstract Droposition. they nTM to have some "say so" in what is done with the funds collected and th. manner in which they are ex- Everv man in the employ of the nnrrmnnv novs share of the expense of the hospital, in what is commonly known as "hospital fees."

The local employes of the Missouri Pacific, including both those In the shops and the road service, as all are equally effected are interested in the movement. The fees are de ducted at the headquarters of the road when the checks are made out. and the men have no choice in whether r not they will pay the fees and re ceive protection. RACK TO BtllXIXG COAIa. Railroads in Mexico Experiencing Shortage of Crude Oil. Tampico. Mex., Aug. 24. A short age of crude oil of the required stan dard in the Ebano field, near Tam pico, has caused the National Rail ways of Mexico to revert to the use of coal upon several of its divisions. The Mexican Petroleum Company, which controls the Ebano field, contracted of oil suitable for burning in loco motives is being furnished the rail road. A number of the 269 oil-burning locomotives are being changed back to coal burners. It is stated that these burners will be used only temporarily, pending the further exploitation of the oil' fields and an increase in the supply of crude oil. RTTMOR OP EXTENSION. Coast Lines to Build Cut-Off Between Fullerton and Richfield. San Bernardino, Calif., Aug. 24.

In order to run into Orange the line takes a long swing to that city, and then turns again to the west, and in this manner it is necessary to cover over twice the distance that would be the case if a straight line were con structed between Richfield and Ful lerton, which are, in a direct line, about five miles apart, but 12 via the Santa Fe. This cutoff has been talked of for years, but no definite steps have been taken to construct the line although a rough survey was made at the time the Orange line was constructed. It is stated, however, that the company now has a gang of men in the field making the surveys for the right-of- way. This report cannot be confirm ed at the local offices, although the officials are unwilling to make a de nial, indicating that there is possibly some intentions of constructing the cuton.

Long delaycl reports from Africa Indicate that all is well except among the members of the hippopotami family. "Here," rightly remarks the Atlanta Constitution, "Is satire: The-new and drastic prohibition law in Alabama is known as the 'Fuller' bill." Dogs must be pretty valuable anl moio l Ttfnrth Carolina where the cost of one, over the possession of which I there was a dispute, totals one aeaa man and four other men seriously in jured. As Henry Clews, the New Tork banker well says, "a great deal more importance is attached to Mr. Harrl man's health than would be necessary if his securities were selling strictly on their merits." "If one of the Davis family is decend ed from royalty," remarks the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "perhaps all are, and this fact may account for some of the otherwise unaccountable actions of Jeff Davis of Arkansas." President Taft and the members of his cabinet have another hard nut to crack. In making plans for the per fection of the interstate commerce and antitrust laws they have got to differ entiate between the "good" and the "bad" trusts. A Paris surgeon claims to have dis covered that a certain operation- will transform weak-kneed people into gen uine heroes. .It occurs to the Washing ton Herald that the United States con gress would be a fine field of endeavor Tor this man's attention. Fathers have been recognized at las'.. The' International Sunday School asso ciation, which has been meeting in Chi cago, has decided that in the future those periods which have been cele brated In the past as "mothers day" Chall be called "parents' day." The Trans-Mississippi congress ha3 cone on record in favor of a direct in come tax and the creation of a tariff commission of experts. So will every body else probably, with the exception ef a few state legislatures which are etill controlled by "the interests." Being human the officials of the breather bureau are probably honestly Jieping that there is nothing to their predictions' that another hot wave is about to strike this section of the coun try. They'll probably be decidedly de lighted if this forecast turns out to tie wrong.

The state tuberculosis exhibit starts on its rounds today. It should be we'l attended at every locality where a stop la made for many pointers of value in the fight that every one should wage against the spread of consumption car. be obtained through the medium of thli display and the lectures which will bo given as important incidents to it. Present indications are that some thing, worth while will be doing in the Topeka theaters during the coming season which is only a couple of weeks away. This Is news of the en couraging sort. Topekans comprise an amusement-loving public. And they will patronize to the limit the theatrl cal productions which are worth see ing. Champ Clark, Missouri's famous con pressman, claims that he lost $7,000 through the cancellation of Chautauqua dates owing to the prolonged extra ses sion of congress. The Chicago Record Herald hits the nail on the head when It expresses the thought that "Champ must be a queer kind of a congressman If he couldn't fill his dates without per mitting his duties In Washington to lnterferere." "If they didn't need fighting men they'd put a tax on babies," is the way a German cartoonist is impressed with the overburdensome taxes which pre-i-ail in the land of the kaiser. He uses this thought, with a picture of a young child which he labels "the only un taxed article." This suggests the fact that while taxes are high in various sections of this country they are as nothing when compared with the taxes in Germany and other European coun tries. WOMAN AND THE OCCUPATIONS. There has bsen a considerable amount of discussion of late in the press and in the magazines In regard to the num ber of women who are entering the trades and professions. Prof. Thomas who is connected with the University of Chicago has been writing a very remarkable, thought-provoking series of articles for the American Magazine and in the September issue of this period ical he devotes himself to a consider ation on this subject. Part is as fol lows: It is idle. Indeed, to speak of the exclusion of women from the occupa tions. They are entering them from the too and from the bottom. The ill conditioned ara being forced into them and the well-conditioned those whom men have been educating while deplor ing the use of their education are al ready entering them in considerable numbers at the top. And they are find ing new and characteristic ways of giv ing to society that reserve of affection and nurture which they have hereto fore reserved for the child and the home. In the year 1900 there were more than 6,000,000 women gainfully employ ed in the United States (as against 23,- 53,838 men), the rate of increase be tween 1890 and 1900 of the number of women so employed was -much greater than the corresponding Increase for the employment of men (for women 32.8 per cent; for men 21.9 per cent), and the number of women gainfully employed Increased more rapidly In the decade than the -female population; So, whether we wish it or not, the old or der is already changing rapidly. It is too late to theorize on this point. It means simply that the old idea that all women should live on the activities of men and should limit their own inter ests to the bearing and rearing of children has gone to pieces." THE INCUBATOR BABY. In all probability there are few inci dents in the history of the human race more remarkable than those which have surrounded 5-yer-oldMarlan Bleakley, more familiarly known as the famous incubator baby," from the hour of her premature birth. Ever since a few months after that occasion there has been constant turmoil and excitement over .the possession of the child be tween the woman, Mrs. Barclay, w;ho adopted her and the little girl's nat ural mother. The latest thrilling chap ter in the child's history is her brutal kidnaping from her mother's home by agents of Mrs. Barclay. This kidnap ing was happily frustrated before it had gone very far. But another struggle in the courts will likely ensue for the pos session of the child. It can result in but one way If real Justice is to be meted out. The kid napers of the little girl will be pro perly punished for their dastardly piece of work and for their assault upon a relative of Mrs. Bleakley who so bravely attempted to Interfere with their outrageous plans. They can be punished for these crimes in Kansas regardless of any outside question as to the legal custody of the child. This custody should be firmly established in Mrs. Bleakley. There ought to be no twist of the law which will deprive a natural mother of her offspring if she is competent to care for it and is fit person to bring It up. These qualifi cations are to be found in every par ticular In Mrs. Bleakley. Some sympathy Is due to Mrs. Barc lay who became the mother of the child by adoption. Her attachment for the little one must be of the consum ing sort else she would hot have ex pended the pains and money she has to try and keep possession of it. There can be no ulterior motives to her wish U regain possession of Marian. If the child was an heiress it would be easy to figure out 'why so many legal and oiher battles have been fought for her,! But such is not the case. The young ster has nothing but her own personal attractivtness ard this is neither mora nor less than maintains with the' av erage child of her age. So, really, there Is something of a mystery as to why Mrs. Barclay has fought so vigorously for the child and even gone to the ex tent of instigating a crime to get pos session of her. It can be nothing else, though, and an unusual ''mother-love" which developed in the foster-mother while she had the baby in her keep ing. For the strong arm of the courts to strangle and stifle such an affection is hard. Mrs. Barclay probably considers it cruelty. But the interests, of Mrs. Bleakley, the natural mother of the lit tle girl, are paramount in the premises and the courts will undoubtedly so hold eventually. VACATIONS. Folks are beginning to return from their vacations. Most of them, even if they do look a trifle tired and fagged out, are reporting that they had "bully," "glorious" and other kinds of fine times. But after they have said this much every one and all of them will hasten to remark: "But I'm glad to get back home." Of course, there is no place like it and the people who have tried it will tell that it is quite possible' to enjoy a greater rest and a much more satisfying time by passing a vaca tion at home than by spending it abroad. There is nothing more in teresting, or desirable from an edu cational and various other stand points than travel. But it is hard work unless there is time to do it leisurely and means available for all the comforts that are possible on the road. With the majority of folks who take a vacation, however, their time is limited. Primarily their vacations are for rest and recuperation from the tasks that are necessary of ac complishment to make a living. And while it may be a change that will be Interesting, and instructive too. for persons to pass such- vacations in trips to distant summer resorts,, with a stay of two or possibly three weeks, the hustle and bustle of traveling to these places and getting back from them -are not very- conducive to de riving the vacation benefits, that are or should be sought after. At few" of these resorts are the conveniences which people have at their homes. In too many instances the board which is furnished at sum mer hotels and boarding houses is not all that it should be and is really a poor substitute for the Wholesome things to eat that are provided at home, be the fare ever so frugal. And the expense of such trips as these is no small item to reckon with. Many is the regret that Is expressed over the little or big bank roll that has been absorbed by them.. The needed things and the little luxuries; that could be bought with it are fur ther away than ever. Now the folks who take their vaca tions, their much needed rests at home, with little side trips to the country and neighboring places, have all the conveniences at hand to which they are aecustomed and with out which they are annoyed. They don't have to "dress up" three times a day for meals and obey other fool ish customs which are synonymous with summer resorts. In fact they can have a much better time all around and come out of it with a lot of good money in their pockets. Travel- and sight-seeing are the most delightful of undertakings but it is not possible to pursue them in the best way on ordinary vacation trips, especially those which the great ma jority of the "workers" are able to take and Indulge in. If the cost of two or three such vacation trips were saved up for as many years a trip of sight-seeing could be taken that would be worth the while. JOURNAL ENTRIES Much of the bashfulness in the world is assumed.

There .are few kicks against prej udice if it Is of the favorable sort.

Some persons cannot be blamed much for not wanting. to be .photo graphed. This much can be said to the credit of envy. It's mighty satisfying to the person who is envied.

Many vacation trips never get be yond the stages of contemplation and the picking out of routes to travel. JAYHAWKER JOTS According to the Jewell City Repub lican that town has nailed her slogan to the new postoffice doors. It is as follows: "Push. A smart wife can have her husband do exactly as she wishes him to do by making him think he is having his own way in so doing, opines the' Hill City' New Era. "A bed may feel mighty bumpy and uncomfortable when ou lie down on it at night," says the Manhattan Mercury, "but during the night a mysterious change comes over it and it is always mighty soft nad comfortable by morn ing." Somebody ought to chastise with an ax the Lawrence correspondent who always refers to the Stubbs residence in that town as a "mansion." The governor's home is a beautiful place, but there are no mansions in Kansas, and as soon as the state gets the man sion habit a lot of respectable people will move away. Emporia Gazette. The Anthony kid nine, financed by E. F. Burchfiel and captained by Pete Connel, everlastingly beat the Waldron kid nine here Friday morning of last week and then got on the train to repeat the dose at Wakita. But it wouldn't work. They took William McKinley Dewey Sampson Schley White for a mascot but the mascot wouldn't work against a bunch of big ger boys the Wakita chaps run in on them and the rank decisions of the home umpire. When the cars jolted over the state line the conductor made William McKinley Dewey Sampson Schley White, who is very black, go in the section of the car reserved for colored people according to the laws of Oklahoma. The rest of the boys found that part of the car was better and less crowded than their own, so they envied the White boy, who was black, his lonesome honors, and went in to keep him company. When the conduotor found them in- there he chased them out and they have not yet been able to realize the beauty of the parental oversight of the great state of Oklahoma in protecting them from contamination from riding in the same car with the clever iittle colored boy they play ball with every day at home. Anthony Republican. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.l An excuse is the easiest thing to find. Beware of the man who professes to love his enemies. During a hot summer, some of the handkerchiefs carried by men look mighty tough. Time flies so fast here of late that it is Saturday night when it should be -the previous Sunday morning. Whoever decided that people should wear clothes, knew his business. .We all look mighty tough without clothes. When a woman reaches the dhurch door, in forgetfulness of the gum in her mouth. Is it proper for her to spit it out, or swallow it? The women's idea of a "hard and unfeeling" man is one who does not look sad when some girl gets up and screeches "Home, Sweet Home." Amateur ball players do a great deal of talking about a game after it is over. Professionals don't; after a game, they try to get a little sleep. A man will coax his wife till she gives in, and is pleased with himself when he succeeds, but when the chil dren coax her, and she yields, he is disgusted with her. If we had one, we wouldn't call it a machine. "Machine" applies also to washing machine, sewing machine, threshing machine, and a hundred in struments of labor. To call a Joy like an anto a "machine" is to make it suggest Monday morning. Mrs. Lysander John Appleton, al ways a Lovely Character, has organ ized a See Good In Everything So ciety. "I find this to the credit of those bag worms," she said at a re-j cent meeting; "every .worm builds, I owns and occupies his' own home." KANSAS COMMENT REQUJESCAT THAW. Harry Thaw has again been denied his freedom by a justice of the su preme court of the state of New York. Justice Mills holds that the murderer of Stanford White is still insane, possessed of delusions, even if in less degree than when ne killed his enemy, in the opinion of the court, it would be risky to B f. the man at liberty and it is protjle that public opinion coincides witn this. The public has been interested in the Thaw case from the outset, and its interest has been natural. A great artist was killed under dramatic, cir cumstances, by a rich and erratio youth, over a beautiful woman, still almost a girl. The developments fol lowing brought shame to several fam ilies and sorrow to many hearts. All the primitive emotions of man love, hate, anger, jealousy were brought into play, and later, in the trial, the qualities of self-sacrifice, devotion, and great renunciation showed in the parts of different actors in the life drama. Following this came the re peated struggles of Thaw for his lib erty, which was not without their dra matic features. It would have been remarkable if the public had not shown interest. But Thaw has had his chance. A court, which shows by the opinion rendered that every phase of the case was carefully studied, finds that he is rightfully incarcerated and deprived of the liberty he has never known how to use. It is to be hoped that he will now sink into merited obscurity and the wife, around whom the dire trag edy was wrought, may disappear with him from the publio gaze. It is im possible to suppress a sigh for the lone mother, who has stood so staunchly by her wild and wayward son, but even she is doubtless better off with him safely incarcerated than she would be if he were free to plunge into new excesses and misdo ings. Perhaps the law that. seems so harsh to the mother is her greatest protection. Hutchinson News. "UP AGAINST IT." There come times to most of us when desperation threatens to shake the mental balance. It is then man needs strength, and a hopeful philosophy. Lacking these, he is apt to commit crimes against himself or others; to muss up his bedroom with brains which might have served a better pur pose. And much of the strength that is needed, and the helpful philosophy will be found in remembering that our troubles are never so bad they may not take a turn for the better. Lately the news columns chronicled the story that a certain New York widow was worth a million dollars. She became a wldo-v because her husband thought he was ruined. Had he waited only two more days before giving way to desperation, the cause for desperation would have passed. In that time his securities ad vanced enough to tide him over. But, even had his fears been Justified, his deed wasn't, as he could have learned by asking any one of thousands of men whose capital Is nothing more than their brain or brawn. There is a lot In life If you learn to look for it, in stead of worrying. It Is a fact that disposition and habit of thought put more men "up against it" to the point of desperation than actual circum stances. Atchison Globe. FACTS STRONGER THAN CLAIMS. The Pennsylvania is a ship laden with goods which 'reached Philadel phia the day after the president signed the new tariff bill. The consignees bf the goods im ported in the ship are making a hard fight against the ruling of the treas ury department, that the law teok ef fect at once. Now why should these importers object to the new tariff, and why should the treasury department be pleased with the ruling, if the tariff schedules have been revised down ward? Evidently the consignments on the Pennsylvania are subject to higher duties or the consignees would re joice at this ruling. It will be facts and not campaign, speeches which will determine this' question of wheth er the tariff was revised upward or downward. Wichita Beacon. FROM OTHER PENS ANTICIPATING ';A MONOPOLY. If it should serve no other end than to attract attention to the important subject of water rights the controversy between Chief Forester Pinchot and Secretary Ballinger would have had a useful purpose. There is no immediate danger of a waterpower monopoly em bracing the entire country, though lo cally the monopolization of power sites may have reached a rather advanced stage. The company operating on the New York side of Niagara Falls is auth orized by its charter to take, and Is taking, all the water that can be taken under he modus Vivendi with Canada and without impairing the scenic beauty of the great cascade. In North Caro lina there is a combination of many power plants under one management, which is necessary for the attainment oi the best results from powers that, taken singly, would be intermittent and of relatively small energy. It is true that in. the latter state and elsewhere the tendency is to establish a community of interest, which might become oppressive in time. Between the locally monopolistic groups there is no evident present relation, however. There are over 900 independent waterpower companies in the -United States and, according to Charles T. Martin, edi tor of the Electrical World, the General Electric and Westinghouse companies have no interest In them except to sell them machinery. Philadelphia Record. o POSTAL CARD FAD. We common people do use a few tosial cars ar.nually. Uncle Sam is jvst now considering a contract for 3,600,000,000 postal care's to be sold dur-ti-g the next 'our years a matter of 90,f00,000 a year. These will cost the government 5800,000. and the people win Py J36.000.000 for them, which also In cludes the cost of delivering. But this cloes nt comprise the postal card out put. We are now annvally buying from Germany alone 00,000.0'0 postal 'ards, and al.io several millions from France and other European nations. But Ger n any has thus far had a cinch on the colored pos-tal card ade, for even American publishers Instead of a frig the.'r own printing and lithographing, l ave found it more profitable to place ciders direct with German houses. However the new tariff bill puts a tax of a quarter of a cent on the cheaper foreign qualities, and a higher rate on the more expensive and artistic ones. n the expectation that the business will hereafter bewidone by American bouses. It Is safe to say that Ameri cans buy 2.500.000.000 postal cards a year 20 to 25 lor each man. woman and child in tho country. More than half of these are of the picture variety. But suppose Uncle Sam should invade the picture postal field? Wnat a nowi would go up from the picture postal card makers. Detroit News. I TO A LAWN HOSE. Insensate thing, thou stretchest out thy length As treacherous as Laocoon of old, And. we, suspecting not thy trait'rous strength, Approach thee smilingly while thou'rt ou trolled. Betlmee thou'rt gentle as the skipful lamb. And do our bidding with a silent charm. Again thou'rt fiercer than the risky ram And fill our souls with terror and alarm. When in our Sunday best we near thy nozzle, Thou whlrlest to our breast and wildly sozzle! Hadst thou a face, 'twould smile in mild est peace; Like to a wildcat purring In its den. Thou'dst wait the fateful moment for re lease And then make us as mad as a wet hen. Aye, after thou hast squirted all our garb Thou liest in the grass where thou art flung i And like a searing, scorching, poisoned barb Are gurgling chuckles which thou gtvest tongue Compound of kindness and of wrath ab horrent. E'en then thou sputter us a farewell tor rent! Chicago Evening Post. Nation's Playgrounds. The nation that leads the world in feverish business activity requires playgrounds as well as workshops, if we aspire to. maintain industrial su premacy we must perforce think of conserving not only minerals but men Arguments for scenic preservation need not be limited to esthetic or senti mental postulates; the playgrounds o" the nation are esential to its very life. Nor can the materialist turn aside from this demand of the times, for no great er value can be won from mountai.-. slopes and rushing rivers than through the utilization of natural scenery in tha development of citizens. John Muir has Justly termed the mountainvparks fountains of life. Here can be had the recreation that makes for Increased and maintained effi ciency. The appreciation of the beauti ful in nature should become more and more an American characteristic and in these days of national stock taking we do well to inventory the nation's wealth in wild scenery. The national policy of preserving the best of America for present and future enjoyment is well fixed. Since 1872 twelve national parks have been estab lished. Including public domain within as many different states, with an ag gregate area of 3,500,000 acres. In addi tion to these reservations there have been created since June, 1906, eighteen national monuments in nine state, with a total area of over 1,500,000 acres. The Grand Canyon and the petrified forest in Arizona and the natural bridges in Utah are the most notable of the na tional monuments; of the national parks the Yellowstone, the Yosemite, and the Mount Rainier are the best known. The secretary of the interior is the federal officer charged with the administration of these national reser vations, and congress makes annual appropriations for their maintenance, those for the current year amounting to S175.000. The present policy is to make the utilization of these resources for recreation available to the greatest number of people by building roads and trails, issuing maps, and safeguarding the health and comfort of visitor through sanitary improvements and supervision of the. transportation and hotel concessions. George Otis Smith in Review of Reviews. Italians In Canada. Canada, it appears, is to get her snare of Italian immigration. A new line of steamers' is to be established between Naples and Montreal. As Mon treal is not exactly a feasible port in winter, Portland, Me., will be used during the frozen months. This is the first time that an emi gration movement of Italians has been directed so far north. As a rule, the migratory Italian has chosen for his destination some more southerly region and a milder climate. It is interesting to conjecture what change in the phy sical and psychological characteristics of the race will be wrought by a trans planting of it to such high latitudes. None in our day and generation, prob ably: ultimately, perhaps, very much. The legions of ancient Rome marched with the sword and the eagle, spread ing a knowledge of the race and col onizing a9 far north as Scotland. The modern Roman, marching with the pick and shovel, has carried the ac tivities of the race to "regions Caesar never knew." The great Increase? in recent years of Italian emigration is one of the cur iosities of the history of the migrations of peoples. Many" Italians, it is true, ultimately return to their native land, but also many stay in the land of its civic and social life; and this in such numbers that they cannot but have an effect upon the ultimate character of the nations with which they amalga mate. There is a certain class of Ital ian immigration which is welcome and beneficial to all nations. But there is another class against which all nations cannot bar their doors too securely. The Italians are moving upon the western continent in hordes, and now Is the time to separate the sheep from the goats. New York Press. The Conundrum Fiend Again. The man with the red bald spot came and hung over the desk of the man with the corrugated brow and ob served: "I've got a dandy. What is the dif ference between a man with a wooden leg riding a bicycle on a tight rope on a hot summer day and a woman 8,000 feet in the air over a county fair grounds swinging from a trapeze and trying to. mend a. rip In a balloon with a broken safety pin?" "That's easy," quickly answered the corrugated-browed man. "Each of them has to worry with a damaged pin." "No. The question is "I know what the question Is. The answer is that the man is always one foot less than the woman." "No. Not yet." "Then the woman is What is the answer, anyhow?" "One is quite a feat; the other hasn't feet." As the man with the red bald spot closed the door hurriedly on his way out two Inkwells, a paper weight, and a ledger crashed against it. Chicago Post. The Flow of Solids. "The idea of flow is generally associa ted with the movements of liquids and gases, and, indeed, the term fluid is usually restricted to these two states of matter. Nevertheless it is beginning to be understood that nearly every substance Is capable of a movement correspond ing to the idea of flow, and that such a thing -as absolute rigidity does not exist. The flow of solids occurs in such mechanical operations as the drawing of wire, the manufacture of drawn tubing, the production of various shapes in the forming press and in the spinning lathe, and all these are well known to the engineer. To the general observer It is apparent that we have in the mountain glacier an ex ample of continuous flow of an appar-r ently solid mass, and that, too, with out rupture or disintegration. Cas sier's Magazine. J HE EVENING STORY At the Octagon House. (By Clarissa Mackie.) Rosamond Lee walked-sio wly down the rose-bordered path to the tall stone wall that inclosed the deserted house next door. The owners were abroad and there was no prosDect of their Immediate return to inhabit the Octagon house, as it wan called. Rosamond had inaao many excur sions about the neglected grounds and dreamed many dreams bent-ath the noble trees that rose from the unkept turf. She had taken toll of the bloom ing flowers and shrubs in their sea sons; and now she fed the gray squirrels that raced up and down the green branches. Her family laughed at her fondness for the Octagon house and predicted a speedy abandonment when Mrs. Phillips came home again for Mrs. Phillips was old and irascible and much feared by Rosamond since she was a little child. But on this glorious September day when the late monthly roses were bordering the path with delicate sweetness, Rosamond, a fair, sweet rose herself, thought little of Mrs. Phillips in distant Berlin. The day was made for her for her alone and the Octagon house!" She followed the stone wall to an Intersecting fence which served as a stepplngstone. In a trice she had Jumped lightly to the soft turf of the other side and sped swiftly across the dappled green toward the house. The crooked piazza which followed the outline of the old house was cov ered with "Virginia creeper, even now turning to brilliant scarlet and gold. In one corner where the vines hung low and formed a curtain was a long wicker chair and a pile of Rosamond's favorite books. She had tired of reading and was sitting half drowsy with sleep when a step on the piazza roused her. Nev er before had any one trespassed on her chosen retreat. She parted the vines and peeped through to discover a man's tali form bent to peer Into the half-drawn shades of the long windows. He straightened up again and she saw that his clothes were gray and dusty and that white dust powered his dark hair. He was mopping his -forehead vigorously with a handkerchief and she noticed that his hands' were bronzed by exposure to the sun. That the man was a burglar Rosa mond had not a doubt. Her heart al most stopped beating when he glanced carelessly toward her vine-covered re treat before he sat down kon the top step to light a pipe. "He's wondering how to get in." murmured Rosamond to herself. "If only I were brave enough I would go out and frighten him away but I am fearfully afraid of burglars and yet, if he should break in and steal some of Mrs. Phillips's pictures, I would feel dreadfully because I have enjoy ed her hospitality unasked!" She smiled thoughtfully and then sat very quietly. Presently she dropped a book on the floor and rustled out of her retreat with a haughty expression on her sweet face. The stranger jumped to his feet and pulled off his gray cap. "I beg your pardon," he stammered. I didn't know any one was around." Rosamond fixed him with a cold stare while she mentally-decided that he was too good looking to be engaged in such a nefarious pastime as bur glarizing unoccupied county houses. She lifted her pretty brows inquir ingly. "You wished to see some one?" "Why er no I didn't expect to see anyone here I thought the. place was vacant," he stammered, knocking his pipe against the railling and stuf fing it into his pocket. "It is not vacant I am here," said Rosamond bravely. "So I-tr see," with an air of chagrin. "The house is well protected." "I am glad of that," he said heartily. Rosamond imagined his tone was sarcastic. "Perhaps you wished to see my husband," she said in a wavering voice. The man started violently and his eyes forsook her face and dropped "to the ground. "Of course it would be a pleasure," he admitted. "Is he around?" i Rosamond edged closer to the steps and ran lightly down to the path be low. "I will call him he is not far away," she cried breathlessly. Then I she turned and sped swiftly toward Lthe wall that divided the place from I ner Home. Once there, her father would telephone to the village for assistance and thus the burglary would be prevented. She thought she heard swift steps Denina ner and she renewed her speed toward the wall. Her heart was beating almost to suffocation as she stepped on a loose stone. She ut tered a terrified cry as the stone supped and she fell to the ground. Now she heard swift steps, in reality, as the stranger crossed the turf and bent anxiously above her. "I hope you havo not hurt your self," he said gravely. "I have sprained my ankle," ad mitted the girl with white Hps. "What were you trying to do -not Lto scale the wall?" "Yes." "Why was your husband over there?" A red flush crept to her brows. "Yes," she said. "Shall I call him?" asked the sus pected burglar frankly. "Or shall I carr- you back to the piazza and get you some cold water? Where are the servants? Have you occupied the house long? My aunt wrote me that the place was vacant." He ham mered out the questions with re morseless haste. Rosamond stared with growing horror. "Who are you? Who is your aunt?" she gasped in return. "I am Mrs. Phillips's nephew my name's David Phillips. I have bought the place and I came down to look it over. I was to have met the real estate "man at' the station he came, but he forgot the keys, so I walked on. As he said nothing about the place being occupied, I was sur prised to find a tenant." Rosamond closed her eyes wearily, while her brain sought some escape from her appalling position. She was angry at having placed herself In such a situation. She might have known this good-looking young man was not a burglar. She opened her eyes with startling suddenness and looked straight at him. "I wish you would go away." rhe said, petulantly. "Of course, if you wish it but you are suffering. May I not call some one to help you? I will look for your husband if you will tell me his name he stopped awkwardly. "I haven't any husband," she taid recklessly. "You see, I've been in the habit of running over here and -sitting on the porch and reading; and today I saw you looking in the window and I thought you were a burglar, and so I tried to frighten you away by pre tending I had a husband! I live next door and my name is Rosamond Lee so there. You may laugh if yo want to. "But I don't want to laugh," h said softly. "I think it was awfully brave of you, you know, when you believed .me to be a desperado.- Now. Miss Lee, you must let me help you home again, for that ankle needs at tention at once. Permit me as a neighbor and perhaps later on as a friend!' He stooped and lifted her in his strong arms and carried her through quiet bypaths to a small gat in the wall, and thus up the rose-bordered path into her father's care. Many times after that David Phil lips strode up the rose-bordered pah to see Rosamond Lee. and the follow ing June when the roses were riotlna; the garden he claimed her as hla own. and together they passed under of the rejuvenated Octagon house, of which Rosamond became In fact the mistress.

The wife plays the leading role on many a domestic stage. A bank teller always has something of Interest on hand. A woman nearly always gets her impressions wrong end first. Many a seemingly successful man owes it all to his wife's father. And the way of the average woman exasperates the. average man. Poets are born and there doesn't seem to be any remedy for it. There are two sides to every ques tion your side and the wrong side. Voters are men who sometimes help officeholders to retire from politics. The world is filled with would-be leaders who couldn't even follow suc cessfully. Every time an heiress hears a noise like a title she begins to sit up and take notice. When a woman goes to church she tries to fix her mind on things above by fixing her eyes m the other women's hats. The city chap who thinks he can make his garden pay should be put in a cage with the man who thinks he understands women. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. IFrom'the Philadelphia Record. J Many a man who gets to the top la all froth. Always looking for an opening the corkscrew. Even the Chinese laundryman may be a man of Iron. A woman may be a perfect cat and still be afraid of a mouse. A man and his wife are one, and sometimes it is cne too many. Money is the ballast that is most necessary on the sea of matrimony. There comes a crisis in every man's life when he is able to dis tinguish between his friends and ac quaintances. Instead of being born under a lucky star the theatrical manager is sometimes borne under by an un lucky star. Tommy "Pop, what is meant by the mother tongue?" Tommy'a Pop "Sh-h-h, my boy! Don't get her started." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Most people mistake noise for power. You can tell how insincere a girl is by how sincere she seems. The Lord made man the ruler of the world and woman the ruler of man. The more money a woman has the more red hair she can have without people calling it by that name. The funny thing about a man who is easily bored is he doesn't seem to realize that is the way to do it t other people.

Denver, Colo., Aug. 24. Food experts from every section of the country, in cluding Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, Chief Chemist H. W. Wiley, and representatives of the United States dairy commission and the bureau or industry were Dresent at the open- ing today of the thirteenth annual con vention of the association of state and national food and dairy departments. Before the convention adjourns next Friday, it is said a definite plan for more drastic enforcement of the pure food .regulations throughout the coun try will have been drafted. In his annual address President J. Q Emery took a hard rap at bonzoate of soda as a food preservative, and vigor ously opposed the finding of the referee board appointed during President Roosevelt's administration that the preservative was not harmful. He pointed to Secretary Wilson as having said to the president, that the finding of the board be not reinvestigated, al though a committee of the association appealed for a reconsideration of the subject. That benzoate is harmful in whatever form it is used whether In soda water or in pickles, was the conclusion of the speaker. Recommending a breaking away from the federal pure food laws as not maintaining' the necessities of the individual states, Mr. Emery urged a vide breach between the state com missioners and Secretary Wilson. He favored the submission to each state legislature of the "Model" pure food law. as prepared by Dr. E. K. Ladd state food commissioner of North Da kota. No sooner had these views been ex pressed than a dozen other speakers contended that a breaking away from the federal laws would result in a chaotic multiplicity of state laws, all out of harmony with one another. "The housewife would be unable to determine from the variety of labels Just what she was buying," declared one speaker. It was determined that the whole subject should be threshed out and decided on by a special com mittee. On the committee are Dr. E F Ladd.. Dr. M. A. Scovelle of Lexing ton, Ky., James Foust of Harrisburg, Pa., Dr. W. D. Bigelow, bureau of chemistry, Washington. D. C, A. C. Byrd of Lansing. Mich.. R. A. Pearson of Albany. N. Y., and R. M. Allen of Lexington. Ky. More than 100 addresses are to be made before the convention closes. Dr. Wiley is to discuss "Bleached Flour" and other subjects ranging from "Wha. is Whisky?" to How to Keep Oysters Fresh Without Preservatives." On Thursday the members of the Remscn referee board ar6 to speak, followed by an answer to their contentions by state food chemists, who are opposed to ben zoate. Atlanta, Ga., and Rochester, N. Y.. are in the field for the next convention. BRYNE IS DEAD. He Was Responsible for Publication of the Morey Letter. New York, Aug. 24. The death from appendicitis in a Jersey City hos pital is announced of Charles Alfred Byrne, journalist and playwright, who figured prominently in the Garfield campaign of 1880, as publisher of the newspaper in which appeared the forged Morey letter, purporting to give General James A. Garfield's views on the question of Chinese labor. The Morey letter was the most sensational incident in an exciting presidential campaign.. In 1879 Byrne started a daily paper called Truth. In the Garfield-Hancock campaign he published in Truth what purported to be a letter from James A. Garfield to H. L. jviorey oi L.ynn, Mass., containing a paragraph to the effect that individuals or companies had the right to buy labor where they could get it the cheapest and that the treaty with China should be religiously kept until the corporate interests were conserved; in tne maner or isuur. The letter was denounced by Gen eral Garfield as a forgery. Byrne and three men associated with him were arrested. It was proved that no such person as H. L. Morey existed and that the letter was forged for political ef fect. Byrne and his asociates were not prosecuted. CHICAGO HAS NO POOR. According to Statement of Charity Worker, Dr. Harris Lloyd. Chicago, Aug. 24. Chicago has no worthy poor, no needy class, accord ing to Dr. R. Harris Lloyd, charity worker, and superintendent of the Southwest mission in London, Eng., who has spent many years of his life among the poverty stricken un employed of London. "It would be a good thing for Chi cago to have part of London's poor In the city," he said. "It also would be a good thing for London. Poverty there is almost In describable, and there almost is no way to 'alleviate the sufferings of the poor, because there is no work for the willing man to do. "In Chicago it is different; employ ment of one sort or another can al ways be obtained, either in the city or through city employment agencies, which supply the demands of the western farmers in need of men."

This correspondent wants all the present state officials continued in office until relieved by death.

He declares that the governor will now be able to test the sincerity of this letter from the fact that thunder and lightning will cause Topeka to tremble at the time the letter is received Here.

RED SLAVE STORY DENIED Federal Authorities Have Not Asked to Investigate. Been Lawrence, Kan., Aug. 24. J. O. Milliken, disciplinarian of Haskell In stitute here, today declared to the As sociated Press that the story of al leged traffic in Indian girls attending this school is absolutely untrue. Mr. Milliken Insisted that there was no basis for any such story. He stated further that there was no thought of asking the federal authorities to make an investigation, as there was nothing to Investigate. About Ex-Senator PefTer, To. the Editor of the State Journal: In a recent issue of your paper, it was stated, in an article by -a Wash ington correspondent, that ex-Senator Peffer held a sinecure under the gov ernment which paid him $3,500 per annum, and that Mr. Peffer would continue to draw this amount yearly during the remainder of his life. I have been asked by my father, ex Senator Peffer, to request you to say that he does not now, nor has he ever, drawn such a salary from the govern ment. He has lately completed his work on an index to the Congressional Record, which occupied his time for about six years, but his pay for this work would not total half of $3,500 per year. Believing your desire to be to give facts in your news columns, I submit this statement." Sincerely, D. M. PEFFER.

Owing to the ex cessive heat during the time of these meetings hey were not as largely at tended as had been hoped; but there were a number of valuable accessions to the church, and the membership was strengthened in its spiritual life. One of the results of the meeting which it is believed will prove to be a blessing to this church which has been such a potent factor for good to the East side, was the adoption of the following reso lutions: Whereas. The Third Christian church in its disciplinary actions has done some things that has seemed to many an injustice, in that they were not dealt with in a Scriptural manner, in that they were declared to be no longer members without a hearing, and without the indorsement of the con gregation. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the church now regrets the injus tice done, (where an injustice was done) and as an evidence of its sincerity, hereby asks that its actions, wherein they were unscriptural, and unjust, be forgiven, with the prayer to Almighty God that in the future they may be guided by His word In all their ac tions.

Broke Into Herron Middaugh and Jacob Raffeloch Stores. ATTEMPTED A BRIBE. Offered Policeman Any Amount to Release llim. Other Sensations Gleamed From Police Records. James Mason, a professional "roos ter crow" burglar and a man used to the ways of wicked police departments was caught rea nanaea oy umuui England of the local police department during the early morning hours. He had attempted to rob the Herron Middaugh clothing store on East .Sixth street and obtained a coat and a let ter. He then made away with about $50 worth of jewelry from the Raf feloch Clothing company, 130 Kansas avenue, and was caught in the alley just behind the store by the vigilant officer. ATaonn in one of these crooks wno depends upon the early morning for his work. He puts little faith in the midnight hours and is used to work ing in larger cities where the cops are all asleep at this time. But he failed hopelessly in Topeka and has been transferred to the county jail where he will be stationed until the trial. Mason carried on his professional traits further .by having a confidential talk with Officer England in which- he offered to this policeman every bit of jewelry, his personal belongings and a little sum besides anything to escape the bars. "Look a'here, partner,- I don't want to go back to the pen and you don't want me too.- do you old head? But iimgiano. was uui J particular what was done with his prisoner after he had taken him to the city holdover ana ne icmocu temptation with a jerk of the collar ana a swing oi ie mo.- onmmonceri his oDerations at the Herron Middaugh store about 4 ii, mo wfnrtnws in the rear or this store are grated but this did -not cool the determination of the burglar, He broke the glass with a stick, stuck his arm inside ana punea inruugii m oi me engineer, ana it is eijietieu opening a coat belonging to Mr. Her- that before the meeting is opened to ron which was hanging near by. He night this amount will have been in nearched the coat, found nothing but creased to almost the hundred dol- q letter from the sister of the owner, placed this in his pocket, threw the coat in the alley and left in disgust. He then struck out for the river. On his way to me snores ui Kaw where he had originally intenaea to drown his sorrows, he stopped at the Jacob Raffeloch clothing and Jew elry store. Knocking the panel out of the rear door he made an entrance ana after carefully changing his old shoes for a pair of new ones and picking out two or three watches and removing about 15 watch chains from their cards, he passed out through his per sonal exit and made once more for the river where he might find a Santa Fe or the Rock Island train. Officer England, meanwhile, was -on the lokiut. He heard faint footsteps, saw hazy signals, and sniffed foreign intrusion. To the self same alley he sauntered and behind a -huge tele phone pole he roosted waiting for the return of the prodigal burglar and his miniature Jewelry store. Hands up: snoutea tne omcer. "Ah, say, wha' ye givin' me," growled the bold bad robber. "The judge will 'tend to that," re plied the officer and he made a reach for his gun. Up went the hands of Mason and flashing -under the spot light of the pocket lantern of the cop per was a fight gold watch. Then fol lowed a series of- bribing offers but England receives his bribe every month from the city and he couldn't afford to turn it down. Mason was taken to the city jail, registered on the docket and later taken to the county jail. He Is just out of the penitentiary and the pros pects for a quick return are bright. A language- unknown by the straggling passersby and a volley of curses which could only be recognized by their vehemence startled peaceful Kansas avenue late last night. Then came the gonging police patrol and all was over. Steve Kalarok and Peter Brown own the shine parlor at 801 Kansas avenue just across the street from the State Journal office. Steve and Peter had finished their day's work and had counted the money all seemed very satisfactory. The lights were turned out, and the cash register for these educated Greeks have the real thing now days was checked up and found correct. But who was to lock up the place of business that was the mighty question and it was the question that caused the run of the Black Maria and the attention of the police. Finally the polite Alfonse and Gas ton argument fell Into a sharpshooter affair and inside of a very short time blows were falling thick and fast on each dark face. The boys were strong and muscular but they failed to make an impression upon each other. Both were caught up and fined this morning for disturbing the peace. They disturbed the peace all right but no one knew just what they were saying and Just how it all hap pened. The question has been brought up since an arrest last night who is in sane the 'man who starts a fight or the man who ends it? It seems that John Kahler living at 417 Chandler was receiving a visit from his brother. Peter. John works for the Santa Fe and Peter is In the employ of the Rock Island. This was enough to start a fight but finally Peter told John that his wife (John's wife) was not faithful to him, she was fickle and when she had a chance she would move the furniture from the house and leave him. Naturally John did not like to have his brother recount his family troubles to him and he gave Peter a little love pat on the left cheek. An other quickly followed on the right. Then came the reaction and in the space of a few minutes both men were rolling and struggling on the ground. Finally Peter drew his knife from the sheath of his pocket and holding John to the ground with his left hand he stabbed him just below the right cheek bone with the weapon." The police had arrived by this time and John was arrested and charged with insanity. The people in the. neighborhood claim that John was insane because he started the scrap. The officers of the law have about decided thai if an Insanity charge is placed it should fall on the man who wielded the knife..- The, whole thing will be de cided in the pr.obate court this after noon., After striking his employer with a huge piece, of gas pipe4 and inflicting a nasty wound -n. the forearm Louie Kibble was finally overpowered by his fellow workmen last evening, and piacea in the hands -of the police. jH.iDDie nas been working with the ex cavation gang at Ninth and Kansas avenue where the big Mills building will be built. He had words with his boss, Frank Deckelheimer, and the assault occurred.- Kibble was fined f five dollars and costs by Judge Urmy and he is still in the cell on account of a lack of funds. Deckelheimer probably saved his life by warding off the blow with ms arm, out he didn t save the arm. Kibble had swung the -gas pipe at his employer s head. Rprague Chase who has been at the police station anv -number of times be fore was arrested iast evening for dis turbing the peace. He had been hav ing trouble with his wife and the neighbors could not stand it any long' er. He was taken to the station and I ney were te,ephone chase while Jailer Smith and Sergeant Ken calmly walked out through the prison yard, entered the patrol barn and climbed, out over., the door.

At the Ah-t Dome. The Martin Stcck company opened its Airdome engagement last night with the Spanish drama. "Dolores." The play is something out of the ordinary, in that it has the features of the west without the usual blood curdling ele ments of the ordinary melodrama. The company proved itself to be above the average In all the parts. Miss Mar tin in the title role of "Dolores," was very pleasing, and had all the appear ances of the Spanish beauty of the old mission day. She is a very clever ac tress, and there is no doubt a bright future for her. The storv of "Dolores," while not particularly new, is handled in a masterly manner, "and all the old stereotyped methods of melodrama are lost in this play. The pan oi tne lost heiress, Estrela. in the hands of Miss Edwards was very creditable, and the comedy scenes by Mr. Nelson and Mr. wMati were all that could be expected. This play will be the attraction for to night. The Prudential State bank, corner Seventh and Kansas avenue.

The board of education at its regu lar meeting last night let the contract for installing the heating system in the new Washington school building to Luis Kitching for J4.500. This was the lowest bid submitted. The board had previousty decided that $4,000 was enough for the purpose, but to pre vent delay, the limit was raised by resolution to fit the bid. The board also appointed W. G. Halloway as superintendent of construction of the Washington school building, its heat ing plant and dry closet system. It was also agreed that the board would have to install sanitary drink ing fountains in every school building, in order to meet the requirements of the state board of health. This puts a quietus to the talk of paper cups, and the board believes tht the cups would cost more than the fountains, anyway. It is estimatedthat 900wiH install the fountains, which cost from $15 to $25 each. The board is still wondering how these fountains can be establish ed in the thirteen school buildings un der city control which have no water service. Piping water to some of these buildings will be an expensive proposition, but it will have to be done as the sanitary drinking fountains are not considered a success without water running through them. The board also took a few minutes off to remind itself that a number of the school buildings are not equipped with steel fire escapes. Being a proposition which required thought, and probably an expenditure, the board decided to talk it over later. f r 1 I ii if- 1L JlXs TONIOHT mmim Grand and IF Daring; Dazzling Displays!

They have thrown practically every thing else except money. Some of the state officials want the Santa Fe motor car to come to Topeka earlier in the morning.

Two men from Kansas City were In Topeka yesterday trying to make ar rangements to purchase milk. They found that the local dealers are not able to secure the amount of milk which they require to supply the de mands. The effort of the morning paper to take credit for stealing the Marian Bleakley fund is a fine exhibition of nerve even if it is a slap at Council man E. F.

AFTER THE PAVEKS. City Will Claim Forfeit for De layed Work. Hughes Wants' the Contractors Taught a Lesson. ASKS FOR MORE TIME, Mr. nolle j- Not Vet Ready for Test of the Guaranty Law. Through hte attorneys. Alex. Mitchell of Lawrence and Q. II. Buckman of Win field, the state bank commissioner, J. X. Dolley, today filed a plea in the su preme court for more time in which to make reply to Attorney General Jackson's suit to compel the bank commissioner to do his duty under the bank guaranty law. The. Jacksdn suit is in the nature of a test case of the law and is a friendly suit ngainst Bank Commisioner Dolley and State Treasurer Tulley in order that the law might be passed upon by the friend ly state courts rather than the federal courts. A new complication, has arisen in this troublesome bank guaranty question from the stand taken by State Treasurer Tulley, who declines to become associated in the suit with either Mr. Dolley or the state or national bank named by Mr. Jack son in his complaint. Mr. Tulley said to dav that he would hire his own lawyer and answer the charges brought against him bv Mr. Jackson in his own behalf. The Tuliev case will therefore be a sep arate case" clear of all entanglements and alliances Complications .may arise in this so-called frlendlv suit out of the stand taken by the state treasurer, who alleges that he' has in no fashion violated any j section of the guaranty law. He is the j custodian of the guaranty uni .apd in that ni-ttv receives the monw of all banks admitted to the provisions of the sivirntv niw. As the bank commissioner passes upon the eligibility of the banks to enter the association, and as Mr. Tuliev has accepted the money from all banks cheeked up to him by the bank commis Fioner he cannot see the point to Jack son's charges and is surprised that me at torney general should have the temerity to make affidavit to these charges. This so-called friendly suit assumes ridi culous proportions in connection with the state treasurer as a defendant. The point is not very clear, at best, and there is a possibility'of a reaction. MRS. BARCLAY DEFIANT and can but continue to injure, the banking business, but insist that those who are making the assault upon the law be the first to quit, for as long as you attack we must and will defend Stop stirring up strife, give the guar anty law a fair trial, and if it proves to be vicious or impractical the fair minded people of Kansas will demand and secure its repeal.

She talked with her while she played on the street. "Right then," continued Mrs. Bar clay, "was when the kidnaping plot was evolved and with the making of that plot I determined that nothing should stop me. "I went back to Xcw York, and made my plans." Mrs. Barclay concluded: "I have fought for Marian and will continue to fight as long as there is blood in my veins.

There are now 23 children in this' home "and the directors are I"i need of money for the. purpose Of buy ing food for their use. Councilman Howard introduced a resolution last night at the meeting of the city council which proposed that the electric light commission be asked to give an estimate in regard to what it would cost the city per kilowatt to furnish electric power for commercial purposes. It was thought by the coun cilman, that by selling electricity to commercial firms that considerable revenue could be thus derived which could be used toward paying oft the $40,000 bonds. A lively debate ensued in which Councilman Drew took the stand that it, is not right to enter into competition with private firms. "I think we have no right to go into com petition with commercial firms," said he.' "I would be against the proposi tion even though we had a right to go into It. I doubt the legality of any attempt- to sell power from a municipal plant." Councilman Blakely "I believe that this is too Important a matter to jump into with haste. I believe that it should be referred to the Judiciary commit tee" Councilman Stanley "I believe we ought to thrash it out in committee be fore we ask for a statement from the commission." Councilman Miller "There, is no rea son why we should let a private cor poration have the money when we could save the people taxes by selling electric power." "There are at least 25 cities within a radius of 150 miles using their plants for commercial purposes," said Council man Howard, in support of the resolu tion. "Emporia has just started a plant and St. Marys has done the same within the last three weeks. The prop er way is to sell enough current to make the plant pay for itself." Councilman Hughes' argument was that he considered that the city should light up the streets first. There are 900 intersections in the citv and there are less tnan naif that number of lights in operation in the city. "That is what the people voted the bonds for," he as serted. The motion after much discus sion finally carried. The session of council last night end ed in a stormy protest against the paving contractors and their failure to rush along their work. Councilman Hughes was perhaps the chief figure of this storm of worils against these gentlemen, and the council chamber fairly shook with the thunderlngs of his argument. General Hughes started the flight of oratory, and Councilman Howard backed it up by tendering a resolution to the effect that the con tractors be notified by the city clerk that no extension of time would be granted in case the contracts were not completed at the stipulated time, and furthermore a fine of $10 a day would be Imposed until the completion of the work could be announced. As in the case of the electric light proposi tion Councilman Blakely urged that no such "radical" measure be passed until the matter could be thoroughly gone into in committee. He thought that it would be more fitting to take the time to prepare a neatly written message to present to the contractors. One of the city fathers, however, said that he was not In favor of sending any writ ten message at all. The contractor has signed an agreement and knew what to expect. Councilman Hughes in a heated speech said in p"art: "It is a out rage to all the people to have to sub mit to such conditions. It is time for us to teach some contractor a lesson. It Is time to make him sweat. Not a block of paving has been completed by a certain contractor. I said when you let a contract to a Fort Scott man there would be trouble." Councilman Stanley in speaking of U.S.'ISJN JOINED Permanent Injunction Sought by Western Railways Against Interstate Commerce Commission Is Granted. MISSOURI RATE CASE. It Will Ee Appealed to the Supreme Court. Opinion Is Delirered by Gross- cup, Kohlsaat Concurring. Chicago, Aug. 24.-The permanent in Junction sought by western railways against the interstate commerce .com mission in the famous Missouri river rate case was granted here today by Judges Grosscup, Baker and -Kohlsaat of the United States circuit court. Besides granting the permanent in junction in the Missouri river rate casa. the court aiso granted a preliminary injunction in the Denver rate case which, is based, on similar principles a.; the Missouri river case. The Denver case involving shipments to Denver in stead of Missouri river points is still pending final decision on a demurrer 'filed by the interstate commerce com mission to the Din oi me compiainint; railroads. Judge Grosscup delivered the opinion of the court. Judge Kohlsaat concur ring, while Judge Baker delivered a dissenting opinion The commission,, thus defeated in its first attempt to bring about what is al leged to be a new system, or principle of rate making, will, it is asserted, carry the case to the supreme court of the United States. Parties to tlie Suit. The parties which petitioned for the Injunction were the Rock Island, the Burlington, the Milwaukee, the North western and the Chicago Great West ern railways. The Illinois Central, the Santa Fe, the Alton, the Missouri Pa cific and the Frisco railways and a number of Important shipping interests intervened as co-complainants. "The question raised," said Judge Grosscup, in rendering his opinion, "in its larger aspect, is not so much a question between the shippers and the railways as between the commercial and manufacturing interests of Denver and the territory east of the Mississippi rivw on the one Ride and the comme v cial and manufacturing interests of the Missouri river on the other. The railroads in the Missouri river rate case sought to have the Interstate ormmefce commission enjoined per manently from enforcing an order of the commission made June ius re lating to joint rates from the Atlantic oahnnrrl to Missouri river cities. This crder sought to create a system of through rates from the Atlantic sea board to the Missouri river that were a reduction from the sums of "the local rates. This, according to western roads. threw the burden upon tnem. Only Slight, Reduction. The joint rate now in force from the Atlantic seaboard to the Missouri river on first-class mattor Is $147 a hundred pounds. The redaction proposed by the commission was to $1.38. The through rate now in force on the same matter from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mis sissippi river is 87 cents, which plus the through rate trom me ivn&s.saiiJi'i to the Missouri river (50 cents) makes the same total $1.47 per hundred as the joint rate from the Atlantic seaboard to the Missouri river, me coiiiiihx" wofoitci nnmnse would have allowed the Atlantic seaboard to deliver goods to Missouri river cities on a joint rate nine ctnts less than could' have been tone if the shipments were first sent to the A,Tiatiir.r.l river and then resent to the Missouri river. In the Denver case it is said the seaboard,, by shipping direct to Denver under the yder of the com ,i00ir.r, niilrl save 23 cents on first-class shipments and proportionately on otner classes, instead of reshipping at the Missouri. Shippers of the Missouri valley thereupon protested vigorously that the enforcement of the order would dis criminate against them. Limits Commission's Power. Today's decision, if sustained, will, it is said, limit the power of the inter state commerce commission to the settle ment of cases of rale discrimination.

Speaking -of the. power -of the-corn- mission the opinion says: "We are not prepare to say that the commission has the power to enter upon a plan looking toward a system of rates, .wherein the rates,, for longer and shorter hauls, will taper down ward according to distance, providing such tapering is both comprehensively and symmetrically applied-applied with a design of carrying out what may be the economic fact, that, on the whole, it is worth something less per mile to carry freight long distances than short distances. "But it does not follow that power of that character Includes power, by the use of differentials, to artificially divide the .country Into trade zones tributary to given trade and manu facturing centers, the commission In such cases, having as a result, to pre determine what the trade and manu facturing centers shall be; for such power, vaster than any one body of men has heretofore exercised, though wisely exerted in specific instances, would be putting in the hands of the commission "the general power of life and death over every trade and man ufacturing center in the United States." Colossal Power. The opinion holds that the com mission in attempting to enforce its order, sought to exercise this colossal power. Judge Grosscui continued: -"It is urged that though the effect of the order in the Missouri river rate case is to discriminate in favor of the Atlanti? seaboard and the y Missouri river cities against the central traffic territory, and in the. Denver case in favor of Denver and the eastern Mis sissippi, ri' er country against the Mis souri river cities, tne aiscrimination is not 'undu' within the meaning of the interstate commerce act; and that thereore the courts have no power to cifjoin. The difficulty with this argu ment is that it draws no distinction between the power that the commission i actually given and a Dower that the commission is usurping." Judge Grosscup's opinion- concludes: "It must be understood, however, that New York, Aug. 24. Negotiations are pending, it is announced here, whereby Fielder Jones, former manager of the Chicago American League Baseball club, who retired from the game last fall to go into the lumber business in Oregon, is likely to figure as the manager and part owner next season of one ,of three major league clubs. Jones, whois credited with haying made a fortune in the west, has made a definite offer fori the purchase of the Boston National league club, and it is understood here, that the only obstacle in the way of his procuring proprietorship Is that the combined American league clubs would protest his alliance with the rival organization. Jones is said to have an option on a controlling Interest in the St. Louis American league club. It is known that his close personal friend, Robert K. Hedges, president of the club, has made him an attractive proposition to assume management of the St. Louis team. In reorganizing the Washington Ameri can league club which involves the release of Manager Cantillon, President Ban Johnson is reported to be anxious to have Jones assume the control of that team at a big salary and with at slice of stock in part payment. The Washington club Is said to be ready to close with ojnes at once, allowing him to name his own terms. Meanwhile, Jones is still the property of the Chicago American league club, having been placed on the reserve list, and cannot sign as a player with any -other club in organised baseball. It is believed to be quite cer tain that Chicago will not permit Jones to Associate with any .other club without asking big money for his release. Kansas City. Mo., Aug. 24.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTTRTT At TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1909. POLITICALGOSSIP Mark Tully's Home Paper Makes Announcement. lias Made Up Mind to Be Candi date fcr Third Term. ODD TURN OF AFFAIRS Mixnp in Politics Responsible for His Determination. D. O. McCray Says Alliance Days Are Coming Back. It has now come to be pretty gener ally believed among his friends that Hark Tulley. state treasurer, will make the race again for state treasurer. Pressure has been brought to bear upon Mr. Tulley this summer from every section of the state to go beiore .ne people on his record. It is a fine thing to stand upon, this record made by the etate treasurer, and as people are not always ungrateful.- it is very likely that Mr. Tulley will continue the adminis tration of his office through a third term. Here is the way the people of Montgomery county. his home, feel about Mr. Tulley's candiaacy according to the Caney Chronicle, published by Harrv Brighton, representative in the last legislature: "While in Topeka Tuesday we had a talk with State Treasurer Mark Tul ley. and he informed us that he had rractlcaily made up his mind to run for re-election next year. "He said that his friends all over the state were urging him to make the race, and that he was in a position that he could not refuse to run and be treating them right. Two or three prospective candidates for. state treas urer have recently come to him and In a way demanded that he make the campaign, and that for the purpose of clearing the way for him they had concluded to stay out of the fight. "Mr. .Tulley himself had no idea of arking the people of Kansas for a third term and would not think of such a thing were it not for the shape poli tics in Kansas seem to be drifting into. The demand for his continued services is not coming from the politicians, but from the people. It has caused the politicians to 'sit up and take; notice' however, and they are waiting for the formal announcement of Mr. Tulley's candidacy, which wilt no doubt mppear In a few days. "It is commonly accepted by the peo ple of Kansas that Mr. Tulley has proven one of, if not the very best and most efficient, treasurers the state has ever had, and it is this fact alone that fcas made him popular among his con etltuency without regard to political affiliation. "There is no stronger evidence that the way to be popular as a politician is to be honest, and serve the people just as a faithful and honest employe j would serve the best interests of his employer. That is the secret of the whole thing. Mr. Tulley in the first pjace is thoroughly capable; he is hon est to the core and conscientious These qualities of character inspired him to serve the people well, and this done, there is no wonder they ask for ills services for the third term. "The people of Montgomery county feel a just pride in Mr. Tulley, and he can depend on his friends and neigh bors at home at any time, and for anything." as an author and lecturer and as the political successor of the Golden Rule mayor, Samuel M. Jones; out of whoso campaigns the Independent voters' movement In Toledo sprung. INSURANCE TALK. Commissioners Meet In ftorticth An nual Convention in Colorado. Colorado Springs. Aug. 24. The fortieth annual convention of insurance commissioners opened in this city this morning with 350 delegates, represent ing practically all of the states, in at tendance. President Benjamin K. Crouse, of Maryland. Introduced Governor Shaf froth of Colorado, who delivered the address of welcome, which was re sponded to by Fred W. Potter, of Illi nois, vice president of the convention. The feature of the morning sessio.1 was the address of President Crouse, who said in part: -"The insurance business should un doubtedly bear its fair and proper share of governmental expenses, but should not be burdened with heavy and excessive taxes, simply because it can be done by hiding and covering them up in the premiums paid by policy holders or by reducing dividends which otherwise would he largely increased. if the people who do the voting are clearly convinced that those who pay Insurance premiums are paying ex cesslve taxation on their savings, some relief will undoubtedly come. Espe daily ought the taxation of mutual fire insurance companies to be reduced as no part of the premium paid for in demnity of this character is ever re turned to the insured except in case of firs find then only to reimburse him for his actual losses. "Fraternal insurance is another sub ject of great importance and will re ceive special consideration at the hands of Commissioner Young of North Caro lina. A decision of the merits and de merits of this character of insurance is not intended here, as all of us would gladly acknowledge the splendid re sults accomplished by the legitimate fraternal associations for a large class of people who otherwise would not parry any insurance whatever. Be sides, there is no conflict, or should be none, between that and other plans of insurance, as all have their proper places, but one of the great troubles i: how to deal with the very great num bers of associations calling themselvet fraternal, whose conduct and actions towards their members are of the most unfortunate character. Some plan should be devised to eradicate these concerns which exist only to rob those who are induced by false promises of rich returns to become members." President Crouse did not mean any of the companies he called "Unfra ternal." K. E. Rittenhouse, president of the Provident Savings Life Assurance so ciety of New York, and formerly insur ance commissioner of Colorado, arrived here today with 67 delegates from the east in a special train. Many other noted insurance men are in attendance. The convention will be in session three days. Afternoons will be devoted by delegates to sightseeing. ELECTION IS QUIET People Take Little Interest in Bond Proposition. Excitement Apparently fined to North Side. Con- LOOKS BAD 10U BRIDGE Apparently Danger That Ex tension Will L'e Defeated. NO FLYING TODAY. Too Much Wind at Rheims for Xavl gat ion of the Air. D. O. McGray, the Topeka news paper correspondent, writing for the Chicago Record-Herald, has the fol lowing to say about Kansas politics: The old farmers' alliance days are coming back to Kansas. The scenes of the early '90s are to be re-enacted, for people will assemble in the early fall at great picnic gatherings to hear political spell-binders talk about the new tariff. But they will not travel to these meeting places in covered farm wagons dressed in overalls and calicos as they did in the days when Peffer, Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease preached Populism. They will come in automobiles, robed in the fabrics most protected by the Aid rich tariff, and with shiny shoes representing the great free hide state of Kansas. This movement to start a great series of debates and picnic speeches over Kansas is credited to the Demo crats. They have urged that the two United States senators Curtis and Bristow meet in joint debate and tell the people about the new tariff. Curtis stood by Aldrich and the presi dent for the bill as passed, and asserts It is a good law: Bristow op posed nearly every schedule and finally voted against the report of the conference committee. Many Re publicans, along with the prominent Democrats, are anxious that the two senators divide time and speak from the same rostrum. Senator Bristow has written from his home at Salina, that he Is ready to meet Curtis in joint debate on the Aldrich bill every day during the next three months, and Curtis in turn announces that he ctands ready to defend the president, the Republican party and the tariff bill its representatives enacted. BOY DOUBLY rXFORTTXATE. Thrown From His Horse He Alighted on Barbed Wire Fence. Garden City, Kan., Aug. 24. The young son of Hans Thompson, who lives 18 miles northwest of Garden City, has been brought to the Helwig sanitarium for surgical treatment. While riding his pony it became unmanageable and threw him into a barbed wire fence. His legs were f.ightfully lacerated, deep gashes hav ing been cut In several places. He is doing nicely now but it will be some time before he will be able to walk. ASKS FOR KANSAS PRISOXFJIS. Acting Governor of Missouri Issues Two Requisitions. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 24. Act ing Governor Gmelich has issued requisitions on the governor of Kansas for Will White, wanted in Kansas City on a charge of having stabbed Myrtle Cranshaw to death August 14, 1909, and thought to be under arrest at Hutchinson, and H. S.- Click, charged In Morgan county. Mo., with criminal assault, and said to be in custody at Leavenworth, Kan. Brand Whitlock Renominated. Toledo. Aug. 24. Mayor Brand Whit lock was nominated for a third term at the head of a full ticket for city officers by the Independents in convention last alight. Mr. Whitlock is widely known Betheny Aviation Field. Rheims. Aug. 24- A black flag snapping from a tall etaff over the aerodrome and a signal mat saii: "The wind is over 10 metres a sec ond," conveyed to the thousands of persons assembled on the Betheny field this morning for the third day of avia tion that no flights would be possible until tne wind abated. Owing tc the unfavorable weather conditions the visit of President Fal lieres and the members of the cabinet to the aerodrome was postponed until later in the week. Many interesting questions have been raised by this new sport of racing in the air. The fact that there have been no serious breakdowns or accidents, even when the machines were flying in a wind of 26 miles an hour and encoun tering difficult eddies of air, is regard ed as ample proof that the aeroplane already is a practical machine whose further development is only a question of time and money. The experts differ as to the respective merits of biplane and monoplane and the various types of machines in each class, but it is un animously held that the future of avi ation depends upon the perfection of the motor. The Gnome, a revolving, self cooling motor, developing 50 horse power and weighing only 150 pounds. employed by M. Bunau-Varilla, has at tracted much favorable attention. Biplanes Have the Lead. The experts agree that the biplanes thus far have demonstrated marked superiority, stability and possibilities of control in a wind as compared to the monoplane. No monoplanes have ventured out except in absolutely calm weather. The brilliant performance last even ng of Glenn H. Curtiss. the American aviator, who covered a lap of 6 and 1-5 mnes in 8 minutes 3 2-a seconds, makes him a favorite for the big event of the meeting, the international cup, but there is little actual betting. The rules that require the contestants in this event, which will take place Saturday to start before 5 o clock in the after- roon gives Curtiss much concern, as the calm of evening seldom sets in be fore half past 5. An unfortunate misunderstanding arose yesterday after Curtiss had com pleted his flight. The committee de cided to penalize him one-twentieth of his time in the Prix de Vitesz for fail ure to qualify on Sunday. Curtiss and Cortlandt Field Bishop, the representative- of the Aero club of America, protested energetically. They claimed it had been distinctly -agreed that Curtiss could qualify any day. Furthermore, they pointed out that the rule cited penalized also those pilots who quali fied, but failed to complete three rounds and that this penalty had not been ap plied to Bleriot and the other French aviators. Committee Reconsiders. The committee thereupon reconsidered its decision and after receiving Cur tiss" word of honor regarding his un derstanding the ruling was withdrawn. Commander Frederick L. Chapin and Major T. Bentley Mott, respectively, the American naval and military attaches, as well as the other foreign attaches who have come to Rheims are inter ested chiefly in the endurance and weight carrying tests, as these are the main considerations from the military standpoint. They all seem to regard the Wright models and the Paulham biplane as superior in these respects. Billy Sunday in a Wreck. Laporte. Ind., Aug. 24. In a collision between two automobiles near Yellow Creek Lake today, "Billy" Sunday, the "baseball evangelist," and his wife were injured. Their car turned over and they were thrown into a ditch Mrs. Sunday is in a serious condition but her husband i only painfully bruised. Sunday was driving at high speed and struck another car in at tempting to pass it. Municipal Crematory Appears to Be. Better Received. This is bond election day in Topeka. On account of the quietness which ex ists it is rather difficult, however, to lealize -hat fact. There were 6.6S9 qual ified voters for this election and up to a late hour this afternoon not more than 10 per cent of this number had availed themselves of the opportunity of casting a ballot. Of the women 1,532 in- number who were qualified to express an opinion in regard to the propositions which are before the vot ers, but a small sprinkling went to the doIIs. The only section which is really worked up to any kind of a pitch of enthusiasm over the election is the North side. The meeting held last r.ight awakened considerable interest in the election. Up to the noon hour 205 of the qualified voters had cast their votes, and since that time the taxpay ers have been coming to the polls in a lively fashion. The North siders, it would appear from views expressed, are in favor a all three of the propositions. Almost a thousand persons have the privilege of voting in that portion ot the city and on account of the listless way in which the voting is going on in the other portions of Topeka the North siders will undoubtedly have much to do with the final outcome of tne eiec tion. Some surprises have been brought to licrht in connection with the election. In the Second ward, simply Judging from casual remarks, the bridge pro positions have been in many instances turned completely down and the gar bage plant idea looked upon with fa- cr. Yesterday "dope seemea to nave it that the latter proposition would be the weakest of the three. In one or two of the precincts of the Third ward it was the opinion that a majority of the voters were trying to kill the entire ballot. in that ward the heaviest voting is being polled in the Fourth precinct according to qualified ed them clean and scattered them. A few teeth in the skull with no fillings were found. There were no marks of violence and no papers. Searching parties are trying to find the rest of the bones. TOOK IT APART.

September nneneri i the number of voters The Fifth ward is going strong for the little bridge across tne fenunga nunga at Fillmore street, although the voting is not at all heavy. In the other wards the voting has been light. One thing that has aided the cre matory proposition was the circulation of a hand bill which reads as follows: "Vote for the crematory ponas ana help make Topeka the cleanest and healthiest citv in the state. The voting of bonds with which to build a garbage crematory will not add any burden to the taxpayers tor tne proceeds ue rived from the operation of such a plant will not only be sufficient to pay ita own way, but will also, pay the in terest and principal of these bonds, therefore when you vote these bonds you do not add to your taxes you merely provide the money with which to build the plant. "If you vote for these bonds you will help to stop the dumping of manure and rubbish in the low places in the city, close to where the people live vou will help to establish a regu lar system of garbage collection and disposal. 'When the tin cans, bottles, rubbish and manure piles which now decorate our allevs and vacant lots are taKen nwav. the breeding places of mosquitoes, flies and other disease breeding insects srp removed.

The city will be thoroughly cleaned and will be kept clean. "All of the garbage of the city will be gathered and disposed of in a sanitary manner. The benefits tnat will accr ic to this city if the bonds are voted are many and not the least among them will be safeguarding of the pub lic health. "Do you want Topeka to be a clean, healthy city? If you do; then do not fail to vote for the crematory bonds." Bills which helped to stir up en thusiasm on the North Side and which were widely scattered read in part: To the Voters of Topeka: Don't neglect the Melan bridge bond election Tuesday, August 24. Ladies can vote. It will cost you not to exceed 10 cents a year for 10 years on each $1,000 taxable property. It would be folly to neglect Or re fuse to vote for these bonds and criminal to vote against them. At the polls on the North side the majority of the voters have made no secret of their intention to vote tor tne Melan bridge extension. There is very little discussion on the streets today about the matter, but the majority of people state that they are in favor of the bridge bonds. A great many of the votes will prob ably be cast after 6 o'clock when the Santa Fe shopmen return from work.

The efforts of Mrs. Barclay to gain possession of little Marian Bleakley, the famous incubator baby, never met with the sympathy of the relatives of Mrs. Barclay, according to a statement made to the State Journal this after noon by Mrs. Ora Thompson, the mother of Mrs. Bleakley: "Mrs. Bar clay has been hard pressed for funds for some time with which to conduot the legal proceedings for the posses sion of the child and but one of her relatives contributed to her cause, her grandfather. And this was not De- cause or nis sympatny in tne case Dut merely because of family ties. Her brother in Omaha, a prominent man there, has at various times tried to persuade her to give up her ideas of takinz possession or tne cniia. Ana he has refused to contribute to her cause. "It is not true that we poisoned the mind of the little girl against Mr. Bar clay. In fact we have never mention ed Mrs. Barclay's name in her pres ence. She has heard it enough in the court rooms and on such occasions the name has always frightened her so that we never mentioned Mrs. Barclay in her presence. We never allowed the little girl to go out of our sight and we had her kindergarten right in our home." WHEAT Sept. Dec. May CORN Sept. Dec. May OATS Sept. Dec. May PORK Sept.

STOCKS Over night price changes in the stock market were unusually narrow. Atchison was off a point on reports of unfavorable crop conditions, but Canadian Pacific moved up 1. There were 10,000 shares of Union Pacific traded in at from 206 to 210. against 210, yesterday's close. The price soon ran off to 209. Speculation became very weak in tone soon after the opening dealings and there were a number of material recessions. Union Pacific sold 1 below yesterday's final figures. Southern Pacific 1 and St. Paul and New York Central 1. Pittsburg Coal dropped 2 and the preferred 1. The sudden drop in prices was without defi nite explanation. Later on the market began to gather strength slowly with the upward movement helped by confident buying of the Gould stocks. Prices got back to the neighborhood of yesterday's closing in most cases. Dealing contracted and the fluctuations became very narrow. Prices reacted slightly but the list was moving up again Ranee of Prices of Stocks. Furnished by J E.

He celebrated his ninetieth birthday anniversary last Wednesday, August 18. Captain John B. Chllds. This is of Interest hot' only to To peka people, but also to at least six rear admirals of the United States navy, who served under him as en signs and midshipmen In the civil war and Just afterwards. The officers referred to are Rear Admiral Lam bertson, who was Dewey's fleet cap tain at the battle of Manila Bay; Rear Admiral Chadwlck, who com manded Admiral Sigbee's battleship the New York, at the battle of San tiago, and Rear Admirals Rockwell, Almy. Erben and Davis. The ad mirals maintain a regular corre spondence with Captain Childs. These facts lend additional interest to a career which is remarkable in many other respects. Captain Childs was given prac tically entire control of a merchant ship when only about eighteen years old on account of his knowledge of navigation. He followed the sea con tinuously for thirty years. As a naval officer he saw much fighting during the civil war. Afterwards he remained in the service, cruising along the west coast ot Africa, up the Amazon and La Plata rivers as far as the Andes mountains in South' Amer ica and in other tropical parts. The glare from the tropical sun impaired his eyesight so that in 1869 he retired from the navy. Im mediately afterwards he came to Kansas, buying a farm near Bur lingame. There he lived until he came to Topeka about twenty years ago. Since then he has made his tne nrsi train which ran uvcr 1.110 e.iii.-, Ti- in. that nlgxn tlwn the terminus of I ulu5 trip, sSfdrt0oathatItowOiSht 8eCODd tiCkCt Miss Maude McVeygave an after Uoon arriving he went two miles "?on Pa"y Monday for Miss Mildred east and bought a farm after fifteen minutes' negotiation. It proved later to be underlaid with coal. Here he is enjoying the fruits of a worthy life. His postal cards and let ters from the naval officers mentioned are among his most treasured posses sions. He receives word from them and replies even at the present time. When Admiral Evans was here last spring the old gentleman enjoyed a pleasant visit with him. Captain Childs is an Interesting talk er. "Miss the sea? Why of course I miss it," he said to a visitor. "I was on the ocean for thirty years continuously and naturally feel it to be my home. "On the ship on which I made my first voyage a cow was kept and three of us boys milked her for our own use. We, would take turns at. milking while the 'other held his mouth so that he could catch the milk. Then the rest of the crew wondered why the cow was dry when they went to milk her. "Another amusing experience hap pened when I was. at Manila for the first time. I traded my shirt for a monkey. However, the monkey scared me so I was not sorry when it escaped, although I was minus both garment and pet. "However, anything but funny were our experiences with Chinese pirates who infested these seas in thosa days. When the ship was becalmed a long Junk filled with about 200 naked, heathen Chinese would often silently sneak along side of us and the yellow bodies would swarm up -the side ard on to the decks.

AUGUST 24, 1909. 7; V "A, ifr I mm SAalker s sample line underwear on sale W mi Not in our twenty-nine years of merchandising here in Topeka have we offered better bargains in underwear. The great wholesale house of Ely and Walker, St. Louis, carry one of the latgest lines of underwear in the West. And because we think theirs is better than anyone else's we buy most of our underwear from them. And last week, when they offered us their line of samples of summer underwear at half price, we jumped at the chance get it. Half-price to us means half-price to our customers; so to morrow morning this entire line goes on sale, at 8 o'clock, at exactly one-half of the regular retail price. PRICE It would take more than half of this page to enumerate all of the kinds, so we merely give a general outline of them. There are between six and seven hundred garments in the lot vests principally. And there is about every kind of a vest you can think of. Plain and laced trimmed; high and low neck; sleeveless, gusseted arm's-eye and wing sleeve, etc. There is a lot of pants and union suits, too. Lace knee, tight knee and ankle length pants and the same in union suits. These garments range in price from 10c to $1.50 each. Every one has been ticketed at the regular retail price. Buy all you like and pay exactly one-half the marked price. mnerware -save a third and more We' have one pattern of fancy dinnerware that we are very anxious to close out in this Harvest Sale.
