TWO CTNTU GIVESJJPMBY, Mrs. Stella Barclay Announces End of Her Centest. Will Renounce All Halms to Little Marian Bleakley. DEOP KANSAS CITY SUIT Action for Child's Possession Will Not Be Tried. Woman Says Girl's Future Causes the Surrender. County Attorney Says Criminal Cases Will Be Pushed. At the preliminary hearing to be tield in this city Wednesday morning. September S, Mrs. J. M. Barclay, the kidnaper of little Marian Bleakley, the incubator baby, will arise in court and before Judge Pimon of the court of Joseph Gentry and Mrs. Stella Barclay From a Sketch Made at the City Court Room by a State Journal Artist. Tpeka and County Attorney Schenck, i the will renounce all claims to the Kleakley child and promise to refrain from any further attempts to gain possession of it. This information was confirmed this mornin by County Attorney Schenck who came up from Kansas City last evening with Mrs. Barclay. lie talk ed with her all the way- to Topeka while they sat on the observation car of the Golden State Limited and in the conversation she opened her heart to the county attorney ar.d not only told of all her attempts to gain pos session of the child but told of her failures and her decision to allow the mother to continue" in possession. Mrs. Barclay gave many reasons for this decision. Principal of them all is the fact that there would be a possi bility of her winning in the fight in this case the baby would be turned over to her with the disgraceful stigma attached that of being the child of an unknown mother. Mrs. Barclay stated that for the sake of the future life of Marian Bleakley she would give up the fight. She was influenced to do this by a relative. Prop Kansas City Suit. In doing this it means that the habeas corpus proceedings which are s hcduled for the circuit court at Kansas City will be dismissed. Mrs. Barclay will make her announcement before the Topeka courts on Septem ber S but she will direct her attorneys to drop tho habeas corups case in Kansas City. Thus the matter will enme to an abrupt end in connection with the child. However, the trial involving Mrs. Barclay and J. M. Gentry as kidnapers of the bahy will be carried on in To peka. County Attorney Schenck stated to a State Journal reporter this morn ing that the surrendering of all claims to the child will have nothing to do with the action against the kidnapers in Topeka for breaking In the doors, assaulting a man with intent to kill and abducting a child from the premises. It has been reported that Mrs. Bar clay would never submit to these r enditions unless the charges against her for kidnaping were dismissed. The county officials state that there Is no law that will allow them to dis miss the charges on such conditions and that the statement from Mrs. Barclay came with her own free will snd with no supplementary con dition. In fact it has not been men tioned to them that a compromise would clear up the case. "I am sure that the people of this county and state would gladly welcome any such ssrrement if It could be made," said Assistant County Attorney Atchison to a State Journal reporter this morning. "But the fact that Mrs. Barclay and Gentry forcibly entered the Bleakley house has called for thir punishment." Believed She Iid No Wrong. In her talk with County Attornev Schenck and Deputy Atchison on the train last evening, Mrs. Barclay con vinced them that she really believed that in gaining possession of the child in the manner she did, she was not disobeying the' law in the least nnd that her abduction was perfectly legitimate. She has been made to believe this by other persons who nre considered to be at the bottom of the whole plot and who -wil- be caught by the officials before the day Is over. "If I thought that Mrs. Bleakley was the real mother of Marian I would never dare attempt to take her," said Mrs. Barclay to the county attorney yesterday. "I am not try ing to take her from her real mother. I claim that I have a per fect right to Marian lots more right than Mrs. Bleakley and that Is why I have been making these attempts to gain possession of her. I have spent thousands of dollars, and have done all I could in the courts but I have failed. I realize now that an awful digrace will fall upon the child in after life if I prove that Mrs. Bleakley is not the mother and for the sake of the child I give up the fight and will renounce all claims whatever.' Mrs. Barclay has lost all her spirit of bravado. She is discouraged and dis heartened and she Is willing to com promise the case in such a way that the kidnaping case may be dropped and she and Gentry given their lib erty. She now realizes that the taking of the little girl by force was a mis take and is looking for a way out of the difficulty. Mrs. Barclay Gets Bail. Joseph Gentry has not been able to give the $6,000 bail fixed by the city court and will probably remain in jail until after the preliminary on September 8. Mrs. Barclay gave her bond and she was released last night after It had been approved by Judge Simon. It was signed by the Fidelity and Ueposit bonding company. She left last night for Kansas Citv where the habeas corpus case for the pc-s- sesson of the child will come up be fore Judge Porterfield on Septem ber 7. Gentry Says Tlicrc Are Others. Joseph Gentry last night gave out the following statement: "I went into this case with full be lief and understanding that Mrs. cnisa Dotn hv the arlnntinn nnerR aind the dp- oy me aaopuon papers ana xne ae j crees of the courts in which the case has been tried. These papers and records were shown and read to me and I afterwards read them myself. I did not believe that. I was violating the kidnaping. There are a number to an angle of 4a degrees. One of the of people who were interested in back wheels was broken, planning the work and they told me I Over $300 damage w-as done to the they had been working on the case Stafford car of Topeka, driven by for the last two or three years. ii. ebb. He says the accident thought they knew what they were as entirely due to Gates who d'sre talking about and took their advice when deciding to go into the case my self. They told me that I took no chances in taking the child of Mrs. Barclay. I never agreed to dc any thing but help her take the child Into the state of Missouri and when I did that my part of the work was done. "My part of the job was to h!p her take "the ehild into the state of Mis souri by the nearest possible route without being stopped before getting! over the state line. Alter leaving Topeka my whole plan and aim was to get into Missouri. However, after I saw Mrs. Barclay and the child safely in the hands of the Missouri courts I began to find out that I had been misled to a certain extent by those most deeply interested in the case. As I said there are a number of others in the affair, but I am not in a position to say just now who they are. "I have been 'on the case for five weeks and as far as I know there is absolutely no other woman in the case except Mrs. Barclay. I am working on a salary the same as I would in any case taken up by the agency with which I am identified. "I am more than pleased with the re ception I got in Topeka. If I had been around the world and had just returned I do not believe I would have had any better attention paid to me. I have nothing but good words for the au thorities to whom I was turned over and have always received the best of treatment at the hands of Sheriff Nor ton, Under Sheriff Judkins and Jailer Bayless. This afternoon everything was pleasant at the court room and I received fair treatment. I saw nothing out of the ordinary in the faces of those present and am perfectly will ing to submit my case to the Kansas courts and feel sure of fair treatment. I had no hesitancy in corning back to Topeka after having seen and talked with the officers." Another Arrest Is Made. Kansas City. Mo.. Aug. 31. H. F. Tillitson. manager of a local detective agency, left here this morning for To peka, following receipt of information that a warrant had been issued for his arrest in connection with the kid naping of Marian Bleakley, the in cubator baby. J. N. Gentry, who with Mrs. James G. Barclay, took the cihld from its home, was employed by Mr. Tillitson's firm. (Continued on Pager EFght.

New York's Apathy Probably Will Send Event West. New York, Aug. 31. A number of western cities have already submitted attractive offers to the Aero Clube of attractive offers to the Aero Club of contests which are to be held next year in this country. According to A. Holland Forbes, president of the club which will have charge of the meet ing, as it, through Glenn H. Curtiss, won the international cup at Rheims. New York is not at all certain of ob taining this very important attraction for next summer. When Mr. Curtiss won the trophy last week it was commonly supposed that the next contest for it would be held on either the Hempstead Plains, L. I., or on a specially prepared field on the Hackensack Meadows. But the Aero club will insist on a contribution of at least J 100,000 to be divided into cash prises for the contesting aviators, and New York has indicated no in clination to donate any such fund i ii'; 1 1 r jm. diMiiuu Lorursi nds v n i i didiiu auunjcu i' i u limit F-lrS" ir,vi .h i?Ky"aU?L S 2f,Vi from the chapel to the-board walk w6- V ndi i along the beach and the-nurses and rrdea.yr L6 lh.a lhe f?r?,i?n aVia": attendants begem carrying the little ii.

As two touring cars, one from Kansas City, were rounding a turn in the road be- tween Eudora and the Wakarusa bridge, they met in a head-on col lision. As neither of the drivers of the cars tooted their horns before making the turn, the accident could scarcely have been averted.

That seven little children, inmates of St. Malachai's home for children at Rockaway park. L. L, were suffocated in a fire which destroy ed a portion of the home last night, was discovered today by firemen dig ging in the ruins. There were 730 chil dren in the institution which is con ducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brooklyn. Most of them marched out of the buildings in good order when the fire alarm was sounded and it was supposed all had escaped. Nearly all of the dead were under 5 years old. The portion of the dormitory in which they slept was directly over the laundry, where the fire originated. How they were overlooked in the work of rescue last night or whether there were other bodies remaining in the ruins could not be determined as most of the records oi the institution were destroyed. The fire was discovered In the laun dry in the north wing at 8 o'clock last night. Three hundred and fifty small children were in their cots on the third and fourth floors of that wing and some of the older children were attending levening prayers in the chapel. As the i v. children from the floors above, t a,stpH in Firemen assisted in searching the building and found a few children ling ering in the halls, too frightened to leave the building, but the rescue work had been conducted with such dispatch t w v,h.-j ,ir and good oder that it was believed un til todav all the children were out of the building. The Hebrew home nearby with a large number of inmates was saved, all of its occupants escaping. BIG DERBY TODAY. More Than Thirty Horses Will Start in Event at Readville. Readville, "Mass.. Aug. 31.

Ue Compels Fireman to Aid in Carrying of the Cash. All But One Bag Is Recovered by Passengers. Lewistown, Pa... Aug. 31. Single handed, a daring robber stopped the westbound Pittsburg Northern ex press on the Pennsylvania railroad at the Lewistown Narrows, eight miles east of here, at 3 o'clock this morning, robbed the express car of $1,000 in gold and escaped to the mountains. The robber was forced to leave $5,000 in bul lion on the mountainside where the fireman of the train had been forced to carry it, passengers having appeared armed and ready to give battle to the hold up. The train consisted of two engines. three express cars and two sleepers. A signal placed on the track brought the train to a stop. Engineers John Long and Balzer Beahm, both of Altoona, on alighting from their cabs were con fronted by a masked man with two rr- volvers. who ordered "Hands up Conductor I. R. Poffenberger of Har- i rlsburg, came up. and taking in the situation, started to run for the rear .f the train. The robber fired five shots at him, one taking effect in the right hand. He then ordered the express car opened, threatening to blow it with dynamite if not obeyed. The car was opened and at the direction of the rob ber the money bags were carried to the side of the tracks. It is thought about $1,000 was obtained. Several of the bp.gs contained pennies which were found later near the scene of the hoid up. Only one man was seen by the train men. Later investigation disclosed six sticks of dynamite between the tracks at the point where the cap exploded. This is excepted as evidence that it was the intention of the robber to blow up the train. An Official Statement. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 31. The official.; of the Pennsylvania railroad here con firm the robbery of train No. 39 near Lewistown. Pa., early today. The fol lowing statement was authorized: "From reports at hand now it ap pears the robber there waj only on did not get much money. In the ex nroco r'i r m-a rr rim Vl -3 i iWtf -4n K.,T n aymaa Was I'UilfUblled 'to drop the bullion in rder to escape. "The train was known as the Pitts burg and Northern expFess. It left Philadelphia shortly after 9 o'clock last night. About 1:30 o'clock this morning. TROUBLES OF A eiuzs iu'luck! in shoot at TU Rl6 ONE ni j-' uTTLfc. Og- LJ-Ui' when near the Lewistown Narrows, or the middle- division, it was held up by a masked highwayman. "The train was halted by an ex plosion of dynamite which slightly damaged the engine. Before it could be realized jost what had happened the robber, with heavy revolvers in each hand, was in control of the situation." Engine Was Damaged. In a later statement the railway of ficials says: t "When the dynamite placed on th track by the highwayman exploded thj headlight glass and windows of the en gine cab were broken. One ral wao torn up also. "It is impossible to say at this timo just how much money the robber took, but one bag of pennies and severai bars of gold, valued at $5,000, have been found on his trail." Train No. 33, the Pittsburg and Northern express on the Pennsylvania railroad, which was held up near Lewistown early this morning, arrived at the union station here at 9:-0 a. m. Messenger Harper made a report to the local officials in charge of the Ad ams Express company at the union sta tion and then with a number of de tectives started back for the scene oi the hold up. From reports here the robber made three of the crew stand in a corner of the express car. while he blew open the 6afe. The highwayman first boarded the express car, known as the one from Washington. In that car, it Is reported, he compelled the messenger and Kuard to go to the car in charge of Messenger Harper from which the money waj taken. As soon as the railway officials were informed of the robbery, the company's detective force was put to work. In addition the Baltimore Ohio Railroad company was called upon and its de tective force is on the way to the seen with a pack of bloodhounds. The spot where the robbery took' place was an ideal locality for a hoid up. The tracks occupy a narrow strip of land between the mountain and the Juniata river. Heavy timber covers the mountains and paths lead to almost impenetrable fastnesses. The robber placed an obstruction on the track and the engineer sighted It ln time to save his train. The train held up was No. 39. It left Philadelphia at 9:02 last night and Har. risburg at midnight. RAIN AT WELLINGTON. Five Weeks Drouth Broken by a Gen eral Downpour. Wellington. Kan., Aug. 31.

Washington, Aug. 3L Official Wash ington looks with special Interest upoa the public ovations which are boirg tendered at home to the Republican In surgent element of the senate and house. These demonstrations ara taken to indicate a growing sentiment among the masses against high-handed rul ln congress and unqualified approval of real and earnest insurgency. In practically every Instance the in surgents have "made good" at home. They seem stronger intrenched in their jobs than evr before. This condition of affairs appeals to many members (who have aligned themselves with thi L;,,' tney were compelled w ttccitv iuuq irvm ine snacK- les or organization control For their own preservation they feel it would be better to lose their influence in th-i house temporarily rather than h "ditched" in the next campaign. As consequence, the insurgent body, which is now but a slight minority of Repub licans, will be strengthened materially during the next session of congress. The insurgents also expect to regain unt their foid a number of "backsliders" who made campaign promises, but got "cold feet" when it come to a show down in the election of the speaker and adoption of the rule. They too, see the necessity of "getting right" with their constituoncie.e in carrying cut preelection- promises. The insurgents are not only being lauded at home In their efforts for a "square deal." but they are being con stantly put to the fore by the daily and weekly press, and magazines as well. Favorable publicity is the mos: profit able asset a public servant can possi bly enjoy. It means everything to him. Without it his term of service is meas ured. Keen interest is shown here in Wash ington in the remarkable ovation given at Wichita in honor of Contresimin could gain sufficient power to legislate for his constituency as he should with out Deing snacklcd. cast aside, and compelled to lineup with the organi zation under -the lash of the whip. He wanted to exercise the prerogatives of his office as written ln the statutes, but he found he couldn't do It. Then the young Kansan began to in rurge. He commenced to oppose pro grams of the organization in matters before the postal committee of which he ii a member. Here he was rebuked by Chairman Overstrect time and time again. None the leas perturbed "Vic" carried his figh'-- to the floor of the housf. where he made vicious attack on the rtTles and the ruling of the speaker. Getting little or no satisfac tion tn these quarters he took his flarht to the White House and told President Roosevelt he could not stand for exist ing conditions in the house of repre sentatives. This fight was mainly over the proposition of overpaying the rail roads for carrying the mails. Finally, after enlisting the aid of the president and Postmaster gen eral Cortelyou. an order was issued, by the latter official establishing a new plan of weighing the mails which now saves the government annually between $4,000,000 and $5,000,009. The saving of this amount of the peo ple's money each year is directly due to Murdock's persistent efforts ex tending over four or five years. Spurred on by the success attend ing these efforts. Mr. Murdock made it his business to look Into other matters of legislation that did not appeal to his judgment in the sense of being entirely proper and square. His continued probing and exploita tion of affairs, together with con tinued arraignment of the "machine" of the house finally placed him in the list of "undesirables" in that body. The final climax of his standing in the house was expected to come when the committees were named at the end of the recent session. He was considered the leader of insurgency, particularly in the fight to defeat "Cncle Joe" for re-election as speaker. Mr. Murdock has held but one committee assignment since entering the house that being postal affairs. It was confidently expected by his colleagues that he would be relieved of membership on this committee and placed on ventilation and accoustic. or some other committee of equal Insignificance. However, the speaker reappointed him on postal affairs, but luteraliy "kicked him down stairs'" to the bottom of the Republican list. He dropped four notches in stand ir.g. But this act does not perturb the Kansan in the least. He just smiled when he heard the announcement, and told his friends that he proposed to carry on his fight agalnwt the speaker and the rules with re newed vigor at the next session. In this fight he will be a factor and in cidentally grow in strength at home.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1909. HIT KEELEY HARD. Six Safe Ones and as Many Bans Secured in Second Inning. Game Which Seemed Hopeless Won fey Locals, 7 to 6. USED THREE PITCHEItS Cooley Tried Young Grindell But He Was Wild. Darrah Showed Well Eut Boles Went in and Saved It. After the first inning of yesterday's Sams was over, it looked Ilka about a 100 to 1 shot for the locals, but tor once a Ions shot won. Topeka pulled down the prize stakes, nosing out me jiuw hog by a single run In the third heat of the series. Cooley tried a youngster, Grindell. late of Marysville, Kan., on the rubber in the first inning. This youngster thowed everything but con trol. He got the first man but the next one walked, and then a double with two more walks as a sequel was more than the genial Richard could stand and Darrah went in. After it looked hopeful Walter Boles was sent an to save the game. Darrah might (have done it but Cooley wasn't taking any chances. The Omahog scored three times in the first round. Fox walked and scored on King's double. Kane and Welch both tourbaUed and the bases were loaded when Cooley sent the C. Q. D. sign to Darrah. The Hawkeye lad walked one man, forcingin a run be fore he got the plate located. And still another came in when Potts lift ed a long fly to left field, but the in ning was closed with but three runs. Senator Keeley was the victim of the i t fm to be the custom of putting an Omaha pitcher out of the game in every game and this custom was strictly adhered to in the second Inning of yesterday's game, feix hits. Including a triple and two dou bles were gleaned In this one chapter, f.nd the game was virtually settled. With Landretb oui of the running, Ab bott bounded one over Keeley's head and stole second. Kahl hit safe and Kerns walked, filling the bases. Kee ley got two strikes on Darrah but the Iowa youth proved equal to the occa sion and hit to right field, scoring Ab bott and Kahl. Wooley doubled, and Kerna scored. With tw runners on Jieilly hit to left center- for three sacks and two runs chased over the plate. Then Gtler-s long fly scored Reilly, swelling the total to six runs for the inning. Kunkel hit safe and after Pat ton relieved Keeley was caught going to second. Boles took charge of the game in the third inning and held the Omahogs safe for several rounds. Topeka in the meantime got to Patton for another ?un iSndreth hit to left field for two bases In the fourth, took third on an infield out and scored on Kahl s long fly to King. There was a little anxiety In the stands in the seventh Inning.

Red Fisher went after the ball but his feet slipped out from under him. While lying on his back he muffed the ball and before he could .sret up it ha! rolled away from him. Kahl also got a lucky one. His was a fly to right field. Kane and Welch were each waiting for the other and Fox ran in between almost landing the catch. Fisher stole a base yesterday. He is leading the league in this department. Whoever covered the base muffed Kerns' throw or the steal would not have been enacted. Spencer Arthur cracked out two safe ones. He is again getting so that he can connect with a right hander occa sionally. Fisher and Fox shift to the right side of the plate for a left handed pitcher. Otherwise a southpaw would have easy picking with five left handers coming up in a row. Old Johnny Gondlng seems to have more pepper than all the rest of the Omaha team. Johnny acema to accum ulate this stuff with age. He is the oldest member of the Omaha team, hays? ing been on that club for seven years. Bolivar Kaufman" was out in a suit warming up notwithstanding the fact that he had worked in five Innings Saturday and 18 Sunday. Something j.retty nice about Bolivar's willingness to work. Darrah has credit for winning the game. The team was behind when he went in and ahead when he quit. Boles saved the game, and the willingness with which he worked shen he had nothing to gain and stood a chance of losing is commendable. Lincoln 10, Pueblo 0. Pueblo, Colo., Auf. 31.

A SINGLE SET OF CUTICURA CURED HIM I feel it my duty to let you know with what success I have used the Cuti- cura Remedies. When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what ws thoueht was heat but which worse. W called in a doc tor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three or the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and bands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratch ing. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. Be kept us awake all hours in the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Rem edies and am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited seven months to see if it would return but it never has and to day his skin is clear and fair as it pos sibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little one's suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Nov. 3 and 17, 1908."

The man- ager of the St. Louis Americans bas gone through what few- other man agers could have stood since the pen nant race began, and the howls of the fans after such expectations have moved him not a bit. "I'll never quit with the club in such a position. They can fire me. but the knockers will never drive me out," says Jim my. Then he goes on to tell his mis fortunes, and they are many. For long stretches he has gone along with one or mora of his regular outfield crippled np and out of it. It's a new sensation for Jimmy to be down there in a race. It's usually the first division at least for Mc Aleerites. When Jimmy was a player he was the greatest outfielder in the country. He was never given this lofty title in regard to his manage ment, but he is about as wise as any man who directs a club. Other man agers are afraid to deal with him. In previous years he rarely made a mis take in his trades and cams out on the long end, and a good maxim was, "Keep the man McAleer wants. But now the veterans are going back. Bill Dineen, Jack Powell, Harry Howell and Rube Waddell are not the pitch ers they were a couple of years ago. His lnfielders are slowing up. So It looks like a general reorganization for next season. But Jimmy will not quit. He's game to the finish. SWEEP WON FUTURITY. James K. Keene's Horse Led Clear .From the Start. New Tork, Aug. 31. So hard held that his head lay almost in his riders lap, and yet 'with his fleetness of foot unimpaired, James K. Keene's Sweep, a son of Brush-Pink Domino won the 2 ?nd running of the Futurity at Sheepshead Bay yesterday afternoon. Five lengths back, ridden out to beat Sweeps stable mate Grassmere, a short length for the place, staggered the tired Monteplier stables candi date, Candleberry. also a son of the sire of Sweep. Angerona, an added starter, was a fairly. good fourth, but the other nine contestants were beaten off and well strung out over a furlong. The time for the six fur longs was 111 4-5. Sweep's share of the purse of $31,000. was $27,000. The race was witnessed by 15,000 spectators. The Keene entry was installed a hot favorite in the betting and at the opening odds 7 to 5. the multitude swooped down upon the memory brokers with such bundles of money that the layers were forced to cut the price until at post time nine to ten was the best price in sight. The thirteen horses got away to a good start. Sweep was off on his tiptoes closely followed by Barley Thorpe, Grassmere, Malitina and Gen eral Armstrong. There was a good deal of crowding however, and Sweep fell behind Grassmere and Barley Thorpe into third position. At the quarter Grasmere still was leading and Barley unorpe was at n withers. But well on Sweerj then straightened out his mount and for a few seconds gave mm nis neaa. Sween answered with gameness and at the five furlong pole led by a length and a half with Candleberry second. At this point ine race enaeu so far as first place was concerned for Butwell put his charge under wraps and simply galloped home. A sixteenth from the finish It looked like Keene would take first and second places, for Candleberry had given way to urasmere. wnicu was leading him by a full length, while Barley Thorpe was but an eye lash behind canaieoerry. junsgravc, however, went to the whip and stirred up Candleberry. Inch by inch he cut Grasmere' lead. The specta tors yelled with frenzy. Neck and neck the two horses raced, but Gras mere began to falter. Scoville used his whip, but wltn no enect. ine Meddler colt's energy waa bpbiii. uu he fell back beaten by a short length on the wire. iioontimn sweeo had crossed the mark majestically and was being applauded by tne crowa, a.nu m..

Dur ham was not able to deliver the goods for the Des Moines team on account of his rheumatism. Denver has released young Walter Wasson the former University or Colorado pitcher. Young Wasa was not In good with some of the players on the Denver team and It is said that some of those who are fighting among themselves laM down on the youngster. That he dldn t get a fair trial is well known all over the circuit and E. W. Dickerson of the Denver News, one of the most conservative writers on tho circuit took the team to task for this a few; days ago. Wasson will have no trouble in landing a Job and already two or three clubs are after him. Omaha Bee: No Western league, player in years has suffered so much from unmerited criticism as Jim Kane, and none has been more gross ly misjudged. Kane is a ball player, every inch of It. He did not make a, spectacular 6how at the cutset, for he is not a spectacular player. On this basis many fans formed their Judgment and brought In the verdict that Kane wouldn't do. But If those fans have not changed their minds it is because they are not qualified to. Judge of a ball player, or prejudiced. Kane is a man of class, but not of any great fancy show. He does his work in a rather awkward style, but does it Just the same. Not only has he made an excellent record at first, but at the bat he has been a source of remarkable strength to the team, hitting hard and timely. Kane has developed wonderfully since coming from Pittsburg to Omaha. No mat ter what his critics may think Boston Nationals think he is good enough to pay hard cash for. And it may be of interest to note that Kane's pre n HmGho rM Chick A ut rev. is playing first for Boston. But there is no need of invidious comparison here. Wichita claims this distinction for Young Hassler. He will allow more hits and less runs than any pitcher in the business. The Wichita papers were knocking Glenalvin and Derrick a few days ago. Now the Beacon is handing out bouquets with amazing frequency. The Topeka team will have some hard sledding at Sioux City. The team is there three days at the end of the week and in that time will have five games to play. This will be some work for the pitchers. The way those two tail end teams are playing now is great. Lincoln especially is to be commended. Tho team has won a big majority of the games played on the road and on this trip have proven as good a road combination as there is In the, league. Even Sioux City hasa't made a better showing. Twice In two days Miller of Des Moines saw runners steal home on him. Spencer Abbott was the first stealing all tho way around every thing except first This paved the way for Nedicus Pettigrew who gal loped home with the winning run in the fourteenth inning game against Des Moines Sundsy. Denver Post: When Tip O'Neil was there the other day he received a letter from several prominent ball players in the major leagues asking him to take the management of two ball teams to tour the Pacific coast this fall and winter, one of the teams made up of National and the other to be composed of American league players. It was suggested that he select as many of the stars as pos sible for the tour, and it was pre dicted that it would be very success ful, as the fans on the coast are as eager as they can be to see the "big fellows" In action. O'Neil has not made up his mind whether or not to tackle the Job. The affairs of the Western league keep him quite busy, and in order to make the trip a suc cess he would have to devote at least three months to the enterprise. Tip has been connected with former tours of this kind and also acted as ad vance agent, or rather attended to the publicity department, of the two trips that the White Sox made both this spring and last year. He knows which are the good ball towns and which ones to pass up. He is familiar with the climate and knows at which time of the. year to play the differ ent sections. For this reason he la tho most valuable man the playera could select to direct the tour. How ever, there Is going to be some ob jection from managers throughout the leagues, as they are not in favor of the men playing in winter. Western Association. Bartlesville 6, Pittsburg i. Enid 6.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAL-TTTESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1909. V I 1 RAiLROADJIEWS. FennsjlTacia Making Extensive Flr Fighting Tests. Conflagration at Altoona Would Stop Operation. SEVE 3IILES OF MAIXS Losses Last Season Aggregated Orer Half a Million. Other Items of Interest in Bail way Circles. Pittsburg. Pa.. Aue. 31. To determine the efficiency of its own system of fi protection, the Pennsylvania has under taken a thorough test of its fire ngnt ir.sr facilities in Altoona. where there has Just been finished a new and unique high pressure water system, for fire protection purposes only, and without trnneccions with any other distribution J.ipes. That it is of great importance that this system should hare been develop ed may be realized in the fact that a conflagration in Altoona would serious ly interfere with the operation of the er.tire Pennsylvania system, because Altoona is his mechanical center. Be sides the insurable value of the ma chine and car shops, with the equip ment in adjacent yards, is more than Jo.0O0.00-. not to speak of the large Jun iata shops, where the company builds 1 1-1 any of it3 locomotives. lridironing the expensive machine and car shops at Altoona are more m" seven mis of large water mains with 2 two and three way hydrants supply in? 154 streams of water. These afford protection, wnicn. irom adusuc tests, has been shown to make very re mote the possibility of a serious fire. In addition to two fire engine compan ies, chemical extinguishers are distribu ted throuKh the shops, while sand and r ater nails, hose racks, chemical en- pines, water casks and ladders add to the equipment with which these railroad fire fighters are armed. Mrae Jl.wv reet of cotton rubber lined hose are availa ble for utilizing the water from the hydrant., which, owing to the unique arrangement of the mains and valves, cannot be shut off from their water eiiopiy by breaks in the pipe lines. During 1903 1.237 fires occurred on Pennsylvania railroad property valued a' more than Jl'eo.OOO.OOO. resulting in a loss of only JC46.14?. Of .these fires 274 were extinguished by employes with the company's apparatus with slight loss. The reduction of its fire loss to such a usir.Imum means that the road has made It practically impossible for a conflagration to gain headway in its yards and terminals. It has been work ing to this end for 30 years, and to c'ay Its system of fire protection repre sents the most extensive and compre hensive undertaking of its kind ever attempted by a private corporation. after a conference with General Agent George W. Martin, for Dalhart, Texas. Melcher goes to Inspect his com pany's lines In the south and to report on crop conditions and the necessary requirements for handling the farm products of the year. "And you can add to that," put in General Agent Marton, "that the Rock Island road will move the banner year's crop out of eastern Colorado." Referring back to the season's tour ist business, Mr. Melcher attributed much of the increase to the ten-day stopover privilege which was inaugu rated by the Kock Island. Thousands of tourists, he pointed out, would have been diverted from Denver either to the north or to the south but for the Rock Island's ten-day stopover, which brought tourists here who were travel ing both east and west.

San Bernardino, Cal.. Aus. 31. The Los Angeles division has bidden fare well to the Santa Fe motor car which for a number of months has been in Bernardino and loop points, was start ed on its way to the valley division in the northern part of the state where it is to be at once placed in use. The motor is to be used between San Francisco and Stockton and will be the first to be installed by the Santa Fe in that part of the state. For some time the Southern Pacific has been operating similar ears between various northern points and have grown In fa vor to such an extent that it is neces sary for the Santa Fe to place at the disposal or the traveling pubuc Hksr service. The motor was found to be a great success on the run between this city and Los Angeles and developed such an amount of traffic that it was unable to properly care for it and for this reason it was deemed best to replace it with a steam train, using the motor on some other run. There was considerable doubt when the motor was taken off at what point it would be placed and both the Escon- dido and Redondo branches were talk- ed of in this connection. The people of San Diego, and other stations be tween there and Escondido, desired the establishment of motor car service in order to make it possible to make the round trip between San Diego and Es condido in one day and although the placing of a motor has been assured on this run, it was decided that it could be used to better advantage elsewhere, for the present. A number of new cars have been ordered and on their deliv ery will be placed where the demand is greatest. SANTA FE LOSES STTT. Three Lines of Railroads Add to Resources of Little City. SEVER HAD A BOOM. Has Fourteen Passenger and Ten Freight Trains Daily. Expects to Some Day Be Division Point on Reck Island. Adverse Decision Reached Regarding Tax Rate. Denver, Aug. 31.

O'Connor, in view of the pro test, kept the money until the case could be settled in court. The decision is. the outcome.

Clyde. Kan., Aug. 31. One of the oldest citizens and business men here makes this boast: "For a rail road center and for a business Clyde will not take a back seat for any town in the Republican valley." So far as a railroad center is concerned the town has three roads, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific and Rock Is land. These roads operate 14 pa senger trains and 10 freight trains daily, besides a large number of ex tra freight trains. The Rock Island has made two or more surveys for a cutoff between here and Scandia. following the Re publican valley all the way. Then, again, Clyde will some day figure for a Rock Island division, the dis tance from Clyde to Phillipsburg be ing about 110 miles, and. the same distance from Clyde to Topeka. In regard to business: Clyde has three elevators, five rural mail routes, a 300-barrel capacity flour mill, two newspapers, two banks and splendid systems of w-ater works and electric lights. Her population is near the 1.500 mark. One of her farm machinery houses, that of J. E. Pat terson, gave an exhibition of their wares to their customers, a large crowd of farmers being present, at which not less than $23,000 worth of goods was displayed. Will Harness Republican River. There has been talk that the Re publican river will be utilized, and when this Is consummated several factories will be started up and op erated, by water power or electricity. Near Clyde is a favored point In the near where a dam can be safely built, and at this point a canal can be run which will furnish the power to operate mills as well as irrigate lands for garden truck of all kinds. A beet sugar factory can be opera- canal. Besides growth ever since the first railroad, the Missouri Pacific, and later on as the town grew the Union Pacific built here. The town kept on. growing and the Rock Island came in. Among other tnlngs the town Has a. Ilrsr cMass cream ery and a modern opera, house. There is a large public school building, the graduates being admitted direct to tne state university. The Methodists, Baptists, Catholics, Presbyterians and Christians have large congregations ,and fine, roomy churches. The town has a live com mercial club, and if any enterprise is neaded this way this club will throw out its hook and line to catch them. Clyde is the home of J. F. Randolph. deputy United States marshal, and F. C. Hammond, deputy United States postoffice inspector. Good citizens and fine officials, and" the class of people Clyde likes to help boast of.' And the town will keep on growing, because of tne fact that she is so situated with railroads and country to back her up, ana sits on a solid, arm foundation. PRISON" DEATH RATE IS LOW. Federal Institution Recommended as a Hcalt liKosort- Leavenworth, Kan.. Aug. 31. -Ac cording to records of patients kept by tne medical staff at tne tederal prison the history of the hospital and the hospital annex has been a very credit able one. Statistics kept-by Dr. A. F. Tohe and his assistants show only nve-seventha or l-per cent of deaths out of a total of 700 bedridden patients cared for at the nospitai during the past year. Since January 9, 1909. there have been twenty-seven deaths at the prison, two of these were the results of accidents. Sixteen deaths were due to tuberculosis. This is a better rec ord than that of the Minnesota state penitentiary at Stillwater, the location of which is said to be the most sani tary of any penitentiary in the country- Particular attention is given the prisoners affected with tuberculosis. Especial care is exercised in sel- ctlng the food for the tuberculosis patients. They are given chiefly such foods as eergs. Irish potatoes, beef and milk. The patients are kept in the open air and sunlight as much as possible. This vigilance and care shows results of a most encouraging nature. A month ago a laborer was discov ered to be affected with tuberculosis. He was taken to the hospital and given the customary treatment. When he entered the hospital he weighed 125 pounds. When discharged a month later he weighed 157 pounds and was n excellent physical condition, aiany cases have been treated witn similar results. GLASS PLANTS TO START EARLY. Only Point Not Agreed on In Pittsburg Field Is Back Pay. RECORD BUSINESS YEAR. 6o .says General Manager NleK-lier in DL-icnssing Rook Inland Affairs. Denver. Aug. 31. "When the figures are totaled at the end of the "'ason the present year will be found to be the largest in the history of Tourist travel to Donver and Colorado." !s the prediction made by General Manager F. O. Melcher of the Rock Island system, who left here today Pittsburg. Kan., Aug. 31. There is a likelihood that the long drawn out strike that has been on in Osage coun ty coal fields since last February will soon be settled and the men put back to work. This is the information siren out at headquarters of district 14 by Presi dent Howat. Xational President Lewis, for the miners, and President Elliott, for the Southwest mine opera tors, met in Indianapolis last Saturday and their decision has been received by President Howat. stating that the operators were willing to allow the Jl.40. the price asked. The only obstacle in the way of final settlement is for a small number of the operators to pay the miners the back pay asked. as among the largest melon centers in the state. The Republican valley here is pecularily adapted to raising them. Clyde has been branching out and taking in new territory. A new ad dition to the town, of 32 acres, and known as the Armstrong tract, has been cut ur into lots, of 60x140 feet deep, and they are selling at S30 to $300 according to location. The Clyde land company, composed of J. F. Randolph and S. H. Knapp, has the agency. Xew modern residences are being erected in this addition, and lots are selling rapidly, as is the case in the several new additions to Topeka. Cement walks have been laid, substantial curbing and fine parking put in and trees set out on all the streets. The streets will be paved, and electric wires telephone and waterworks will be put in at once. The new addition is only two blocks away from th" main business street of town, and is In view of the three railroads running Into town. This addition will largely in crease the population of Clyde. A beet sugar industry is being talked over, experts claiming that the Repub lican valley land is fine for the growing of beets, in the vicinity of Clyde,. Land In Republican Valley Sells Well. To show that lands In the counties of Cloud. Clay. Republic and Washington are worth something and there is a de mand for them -the Clyde Land com pany has sold since the 1st of January lands aggregating $111,860. One thing for the good of Clyde: There has never been a boom, and it has maintained a healthy and steady fj(Q) tavern. f w V SOLID GOLD a SILVER AWARD For the Best Ear of Corn H To be Known as the JtbtCtOir National CornTronhv To be Awarded at the Mninnnl CvmvU.am St 1 December iiuuuuai VUI 11 UAUUdlUUU, VII1UUU, 6 to 18, 1909. Over one hundred thousand mlllinn noA AMI flftrt rwll n nn i T- A Cf-. l.. i a billion dollars were paid for them. More than a million and a Quarter extra dollars went into the pockets of the farmers for cora this year than tier received for the previous year's crop. The reason for this may be found in the fact that the people of the United States are beginning to learn low delicious corn is and to realize its full food value. Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes has placed corn among the indispensable items of daily fare. The makers, therefore, are interested tn the development of the Kinr of Cereals, and have decided to award a beautiful iropny lor the man. woman or child who can produce the best ear of corn in two different seasons. xf fr of the Iowa State College, the rreatest authority on corn in the world, will award the prize at the atloual Corn imposition, to be held at Omaha.

Caney, Kan.. Aug. 31. The glass workers of this city will go to work earlier than usual this year. Two of the plants Baker Brothers and the Cheyenne will be ready for business early next month, while the Caney plant has been delayed on account of the nonarrival of material with which to repair their tank and will not get to work until in October. Manager Scoby of the Baker Bros.' plant, has a little work to do yet, but will be ready to start by the 11th of next month. He is feeling pretty good at the prospects for a good run this fire. Manager Biron of the Cheyenne plant already has his fires started and his plant will begin making glass by the 4th of September, if his plans carry, and they usually do. In talking of the prospects this season, ilr. Par rett of the Baker Bros.' plant, said that they were figuring on a good year. The workmen will get an increase in wages and the scale was good for the manufacturers. Indications are good for a fair market and he thinks the prospects for profit in the making of glass is better than it has been for some time. contractor, for J 100, the face of the note and interest. Mr. Williams did not fight the case and Judge Clark entered judgment against him for the amount sued for. The Judgment was then turned over to Sheriff Banning for collec tion. Mr. Asher says- that he may enter suit, on several more of the notes. The association feels that the men who gave. them should pay the notes, the same as any other debt, unless they have met with financial losses since that time, making1 it impossible to do so. This suit was probably the first of Us kind that has- been tried in Kan sas in. years, where a note given to i religious organization was sued on. DELFHOS FLOCK MULLS SOLD. DEAD FISH CAT SING FEVER.

Dead fish that are accumulating by the hundreds in the vicinity of this city, both in Salt creek and other small streams, owing to the streams drying up, are causing people in the neigh borhood a good deal of uneasiness. What almost amounts to an epidemic in typhoid fever has broken out and in searching for a cause several citi zens have turned to the fish as a pos sible solution. Scores, even hundreds, of fish of all sizes, are dying or dead along the streams. In many places, where an extra large hole of water practically has dried up, the stench from the de caying bodies Is terrible. Those in this section oT Reno county are at a loss to know what td do with what has come to be a pest, almost a menace. It is Drobable that steps will be taken to rid the neighborhood of the abomination. BOY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.

The Emporia Gazette refuses to get excited over the benzoate of soda graft Until the Bleakley baby has been dis posed of. Those woods around Beverly, Mass., must be of considerable extent if an individual of Mr. Taft's stature can get lost to sight In them. An offer has been made by some pro moters looking towards the holding of the Jeffries-Johnson fight in Oklahoma. It's to be wondered if the state authori ties have been consulted about the matter. That story from Chicago tellin- that three sisters set the same date for theii weddings without consultation with each other is a pretty hard one to swallow. But things that are stranger than fic tion, and truth as well, are always hap pening In the Windy City. Fame is fleeting. Take the, case of i (William Allen White, who writes prose sentences as concise ahd effective" is a flock of bullets from a machine gun and yet is referred to on the day of his home coming from Europe by the Cof feyvllle Journal as the great Kansas poet. An Iowa Judge has decided that the mayor of a city who gets drunk la no longer eligible to hold office and should be ousted therefrom with out ceremony. The plea of the de fendant In this case that he was not ion duty when intoxicated was dis regarded, the Judge's grim rejoinder being that a mayor is alwavs on Btity. iW. !A. Lamed" of New Jersey, has again demonstrated that he is lawn tennis champion of the United States. He has been such, for a number of .year. But he was never called to the councils of the famous "tennis cabinet" which used to exist in Washington Kvhen "Bwana Tumbo" held sway ther. However, tennis was only a side issue R'ith that aggregation. According to the London Stage, the public Is th8 best censor of plays. "A "frankly impossible play," it says, ""would never be entertained by c Sensible manager. If it were, the man fager who produced it would have to take risks. The play would speedily eome to an end, for the reason that the public will not support a play that is Morally repellant to it." But then, .all theatrical managers are not sensible. Melther are all publics what they should be. A New Tork writer comes along with the happy suggestion that young ladies who operate typewriting ma chines should be called by some name to distinguish them from the con trivances they use. He suggests that they be styled dactylographs. Some other appellation would be better. Dactylograph may properly describe the operator of a typewriter but it is too much of a Jaw-breaker for ordi nary use. And then think of speak ing of a blue-eyed, fair-haired dactylograph. Oh. horrors! All the irony of fate is condensed In the recent dispatches announcing the inheritance of a fortune of a quarter of a million dollars by a Seattle woman over 80 years of age. Her husband,, from whom she had been separated for half a century, idled in Waterbury, Conn., the other day, and the lawyers have decided that this woman is entitled to the es tate. After all these years spent in a struggle for existence fortune comes in the twilight of life. The executor of the Joseph Kendreken estate should write the words "Too late" across every check and bond and cer tificate he turns over to this aged Woman. The gentlemen of the law have dis agree from time immemorial, but here is a case of point blank differ ence of opinion that will be hard to arbitrate. A Kansas City Judge In deciding a complaint by a citizen that his neighbor sat up and played a horn all night and thus disturbed the slum tir of the complainant, held that the cornet player, being in his own house and paying his rent or taxes, could do as he pleased, and fined the com plaining witness for disturbing the inspiration of the musician. Tet a Boston Judge a short time ago held that any person disturbing his or her neighbor by singing or playing on a musical instrument after midnight was guilty of a violation of the con stitutional law. and subject to a fine. The differences of- opinion held by these Judges seem to involve the ques tion of whether dr not a man's house is his castle. IT IS A SHAME.. The stranger or possible investor. visiting a city, is in a large measure. attracted or repelled by the appear ance of the principal corners on the main business streets of that city. Anyway, the home man points with particular pride to a fine building on a prominent corner ana oases nis argument for his town on the beau tiful or prosperous appearance of the strategic points of the business battle field. If these points of vantage be un occupied or defended only by weak forces then the impression is sure to pre-ail that the business battle is weak on this particular field or not worth while and the result a matter of indifference to the town after all So it is a shame that one of the best business or hotel corners in To peka should be occupied by a pile of ruins and blackened, crumbing walls. This corner, commanding the ap. proach to the. state capitol, is the best hotel .corner in the state of Kansas. For many .years tho most Important of the political, affairs of the state were transacted on this site within the red walls of the famous old Copeland hotel. And now the ruins of those walls are utilized by the billboard man and a peanut and r o t i 1 n r-r vendor cries his wares in the doorway of the old hostelry. By consulting the walls of the Copeland on the best corner In the business section of Topeka you can ascertain the fact that there is going to be a fireworks display tonight at one of the parks; that a certain stock company will hold forth in a blood curdling melodrama; that one kind of r-Vipn-iner cum is better tnan an others; that there is only one soap in the world; only one corn salve, etc.; that Buffalo Bill and Barnum and Bailey will soon be in our midst., The enterprising popcorn man above referred to has put up an awning in ironi oi me eniraute ui old hotel ruins and utilizes the side walk and front walls for the sale and display of Iced drinks and roasted eatables. This is a bird's nest in a lion's skull. The walls of the old Copeland should be razed the ground cleared and some concerted effort made by our business men to have a modern hotel built on this most desirable corner. If a half mil lion dollar structure is not prac ticable then make it-a quarter of a million- venture. The Copeland should be rebuilt at the same time the Mills building across the street is going up. Then the extension of the Kansas avenue business section toward the south will have a concerted effort and bear fruits. The capitol. the Santa Fe of fices, the Memorial building, tne Mills building and the Y. M. C. A. building cannot properly balance and beautify the Ninth street and Kansas avenue section with a pile of ruins standing on the Copeland corner and a peanut man crying his wares from the charred doorway of the ruins. LET PRESIDENT TAFT ANSWER. A recently printed map, showing by means of a heavy black line, Presi dent Taft's route in his proposed swing around the circle of these United States, indicates in significant fashion that Kansas has been dis criminated against by the architect who designed this presidential Jour ney. The heavy black line starts at Massachusetts, and traveling directly east, crosses the states of New Tork, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, thence northwest through Wisconsin and Min nesota, thence south and west through Iowa and Nebraska, thence southwest through Colorado, and on northwest clear to the Pacific coast. Returning, this heavy black line traverses all the states of the coast and passes through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas and even touches Old Mexico. Then it crosses Oklahoma and Missouri and turns abruptly south to the gulf and netrates the swamps and cotton fields of every southern state and final ly comes to an abrupt ending in Mary land, my Maryland. But where is Kansas on this map? Let Mr. Taft answer the question if he can. This heavy black line twines around the Sunflower state like a ser pent but is not contaminated for an instant by contact with our borders. It passes through Nebraska to the north of us, Missouri on tho east, Oklahoma to the south and Colorado on tho west. It misses-the northwest Kansas border by four miles and on the return trip passes within three and one-half miles of the southeast bor der of this devoted commonwealth. Only Kansas, North Dakota, Alaska and Hawaii of all of Uncle Sam's states and colonies are passed by on this 12,000 mile Journey. President Taft's beneficent smile will shine upon the cowboys of Okla homa, the Digger Indians of Mexico, the tie clioppersi and salmon fishers of Washington, the' miners of Idaho, the hill billies of Arkansas, the swamp angels of Louisiana, the moonshiners of South Carolina and the aristocracy of the old Dominion state, but the citizens of Kansas will have to sit in outer darkness and gnash their teeth. Kansans, this year, will harvest their eight million bushels of wheat in gloomy 6ilence. They will gather their corn in sadness and count their hoard of money with scowling brow. No where in the borders of the state will be heard the song of harvest or the tales of the state's glory. Coburn's reports will be dull and colorless and William Allen White's pen have fallen I from his nerveless fingers. The state has fallen under the shadow of the big president's dis pleasure. Why thia is so no one knows but the time has come when the fact must be admitted even by the most hopeful of her sons. The revokement of the appointment of Robert Stone was an omen of the coming- calamity, now the worst has- come to pass. Kansas, thy glory has departed, and that after jproudly whellng': into line the first of the Taft states- before tne last national convention." Kansas, the home of Curtis, the presidential whip of the last anti-tariff revision session of congress. Kansas with her big Taft majority last fall and her legends. of Jim Lane and John Brown and Corodado, sits in sackcloth and ashes and refuses to be comforted. Let the question, "What's the mat ter with Kansas," be asked again, and let President Taft answer it. Mr. Alilricli's Creed. Armarentl this is Aldrich's creed: "I believe In the divine right of vested interests. The future prosper ity of this country is wrapped up in the success of its captains of industry and finance. So long as tney are pros perous the whole country benefits. Therefore, they should have all they want. Special privileges are their right, for these will contribute to their prosperity. Any means which is neces sary to give Big Business what it wants is Justified, for in the long run It will make for the prosperity of the country. The people don't know what is good for them. So tney must De circumvented for their own good. The best interests of the nation will be subserved by concentrating the wealth In the hands of a Few. The Square Deal Is a fraudulent and destructive doctrine. Unequal rights and special privileges constitute the cornerstone of statesmanship." JOURNAL ENTRIES The average boy reaches the age of disenchantment at twelve years and he parts with most of his il lusions at thirty. It is possible that the constitution ality of the Kansas prohibitory law will be attacked from the angle that it failed to make provision against the sale of "comet" wines in the state. Vacation time being nearly over the festive traveler will count his multiplied ills and the tavern keeper at the summer resort will place his multiplied gains in the bank. The man of sentiment -has -little room in his heart foravarlce, cruelty or selfishness and these three cause most of the trouble in the world. J AY HAWKER JOTS With the passing of the near-beer ordinance Wichita retired from the limelight. The Parsons papers keep in close touch with state affairs. They are calling attention to the attractions of the state wide fair to be held in To peka. The alfalfa plant at Cottonwood Falls has received"an -order-for .25. 000 pounds of meal forf foreign ship ment.. The records- of attendance at coun ty fairs this month eclipses those of any previous year since the first Pop ulist campaign. It Is told that a Lincoln' woman in vested a dollar, In response to an ad vertisement, to find out how to make hens lay. She received a card telling her to "kill them." Along comes the Florence Bulletin to the defense of Evelyn Thaw. "Say whatever you like," it remarks, "about Evelyn Thaw. She, at least, did not marry a Chinaman." The Great Bend Tribune did not need to be so profuse with Its apologies to its readers because an editorial severely arraigning the Republican party ap peared In its religious thought columns. That's the most popular kind of Demo cratic religion. The Anthony town clock is in place and according to the Republican it tells time both day and night. This will be a little hard on the boys for awhile, says the Wichita Beacon, but by and by the striking hours won't wake the good wives at night. A new postofflce was established in a small village in western Kansas and a native of the soil was appointed post master. After a while complaints were made that no mall was sent out from the new office, and an inspector wa3 sent to inquire Into the matter. He called upon the postmaster, and stating the cause of his visit, asuea wny no mail had been sent out. The postmas ter pointed to a big and nearly empty mall bag hanging up in a corner, said: "Well. I ain't sent it out 'cause the bag ain't nowhere nigh, full yet." Salina Journal. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. This can usually be said of every boy who can play the piano well: He can't do anything else. What an indignity appears to be put upon a noble animal, when a horse is driven by a drunken man! About the only, thing a bachelor and the ftither of a family regard from the same point of view is a baseball game. When it is said of an Atchison man that he is Going the Pace, it is meant that he attends the Airdome or moving picture show every night. Smith and Jones do not like each other. Smith is telling a tough story around town about Jones. Jones, com menting on the fact today, said: "No body will believe -him." There's where Jones Is wrong. Mrs. Lvsander John Appleton has a bet of $25 up with her best friend. It is that when she goes to ner nus band and tells him she is sick and In need of urgent attention, he will say. It is all your imaglnation." Two men and two women from St. Joe were in Atchison yesterday, in a hired automobile, and they had a great time roasting the town. We are not very, smart, but we know better than to visit a town smaller than the one in which we live, and roast it. That is the greatest Jay trick known among men. Mrs. Lvsander John Appleton will enter a hospital next week, 'and only the doctor and Mrs. Appleton know the real situation. "You need a rest." the doctor ordered, "I have seven children, two hired men and a hus band to cook for," she replied. He sent for her husband, used words of five syllables, and Mr. Appleton has gathered from the doctor's- language, that something very wrong- in his in-1 fa wtiict- Ho n- 11 know what it is, having never met He -aoesn t I the word "overwork" in such serious lancroage before. KANSAS COMMENT COMINQ-TO TOWN. It is not an unusual occurrence nowadays for farmers who have made all the money they will need to live comfortably and to educate their chil dren -to come to the city to make it their future home. As a rule the boys; if they are grown, remain on the farm and will in a few years make as much money as did the fath er and they will In turn come to the city. In some cases the farmers come to town before the children are grown and in such cases they come because of the advantages they have in giving their children an education. This has been the history or every prosperous and good town in tne state of Kansas, and It will continue to be the custom of the farmers, when they have accumulated wealth to move to cities. But this does not mean tnat tney are selling their farms, for that is not the case. In nine cases out of ten the farms remain the property or the farmer or his children because they realize that there is not another investment which will bring the same returns. They realize that while they own good farm lands they are inde pendent and if liard times or panics should come they will always have the farm to fall back upon. And here is where the farmer is wise, iie un derstands farming and his children understand It. Thev know if they sold the land and entered business in the city they are taking chances and this they do not care to do. The wealth of this state nas an come from the farms, and It looks mighty good to see the men who have made the state s riches come into tne eltv where they can enjoy the fruits of their labor.

FROM OTHER PENS a Wise Decision. Rein a- an incurable paranoiac, it Is norpRsarv for the nubile safety that Thaw spend the remainder of his life under close restraint. Experience with similar cases teaches that. If" released, ha would In all probability attempt to commit;' "or actually .-.commit,- homicidal acts. The known weaitn oi tne prison er's family will. If they choose to use it. enable them to make further ill-advised attempts to secure his release.- Law v.ra ma-v Via found to aid them al though after Judge Mills's finding, and the incurable nature of Thaw's mental malady being well understood. It would seem that reluctance to become an ac raesnrtr hsfore the fact of the man's next homicide might damp professional enthusiasm for fees in sucn an uimei- An a "wise safeguard against contin gencies of that nature, however, the state should cause a transcript of the stenographic record of the proceed ing before Justice Mills to be deposited at alattaawan as tpart of the Thaw casebook. In any future hearing this record evidence could be introduced, thus obviating the necessity of a re stirring of the nauseous mess. This community would be very glad to know that it had heard the last of the Thaw case. New York Times. A GREAT SOLDIER. T.nrd "Kitchener has been made a field marshal of the English army, and it iU title well earned -by service in tne field as well as on the staff. The career of this man associates the word strength in the contemplation of his character. We look on him as stern and implacable, the. incarnation of that quality we call will, and of all the great captains of history he resembles Farnese most. At the same time he is something like Monk. -Kitchener appears to be the Incarna tion of organization. He is of the school of Moltke, not of Napoleon; of Maurice of Nassau, not of Don John of Austria. He could not have made the campaign of Montrose In the Scotch Highlands; but he would have been a better com mander than Cromwell at Marston Moor or at Naseby. He is something like Clive, in that success appears to have him for favorite, and the Ameri can soldier with whom he can be easiest and best compared is George H Thomas, the one federal commander of our big war who never lost a battle. Thomas would not take orders from Stanton at the war office in Washing ton, and hence he gained the battles of Franklin and Nashville. Kitchener would not take orders from the war of fice In London, and hence he conquered In the Sudan. Washington Post. TO HELP MAIL SORTERS. If the Belgian postal authorities base their recommendation for the use of different colored envelopes to signify given destination for letters put Into the Belgian mails, upon a known will ingness on the part of the people to co operate with the government in sim plifying the transmission of postal mat ter then a splendid spirit of oneness of interest must exist in the little country. For the United States to suggest any such thing would be pt to be looked tpon by American citizens as an un warranted interference with their rights and liberties. And yet on the practical side there Is good, common sense in the Belgian suggestion. The postal department would like to have the people use for all letters intended Tor Brussels red envelope; for those Intended for other parts of Belgium yellow envelopes; and for all foreign mail green envelopes. From the aes thetic standpoint red, yellow and green envelopes may seem an offense; but for the sorting clerks in the postofflce they would serve admirably In saving time and eyesight, proclaming on sight the sort of attention they required. The Belgian people would get the benefit In the prompter distribution of the do mestic mail and probably there could be some saving in the employment of postal assistance.

It is among rulers, statesmen and authors that most of the famous Georges of the world are to be found among men of action and of imagi nation, iresident Washington, the four King Georges of England, the French revolutionist, Danton. the English poet Byron and novelist Meredith, the American historian Bancroft, King George of Greece, the Bonemian jting podiebrad. the French Premier Clemenceau, the English authoress George Eliot and tne jjTencn George sands among these names are those of some of the great authors and statesmen of the world. And among them there is also the promise of greater fame in the future, for King George of Greece may yet prove himself powerful ruler, Meredith's popularity may grow as the years go on. and Clemenceau may one day be presi dent or France. The name George comes from the Greek from "ge," earth, and "ergo, the ancestor of our verb "to work, hence, it means a worker or tiller of the soil, or a husbandman. There Is a tradition that the first George, or Georgos, as the name was spelled, was a Christian sentinel at Damascus; it is said that he helped St. Paul when he escaped from his prison window la a basket, and for this service was put to death. But none of the details of his life is known, and sometimes his very exist ence is doubted. The next George is hardly mors of a reality than the first one. He had a military tribune under Diocletian, was converted to Christianity, became a bishop and in 163 A. D., was put to death in Nicodemia, after being paraded about tied to a camel's back He became very popular in the "east- em church, and. after the crusade in Enerland also, he is often confused with the true St. George of England St. George of Coventry. All sorts of miracles and wonders are reported of this latter saint. There is a les-end that he was stolen away at his birth by the "weird lady of the woods," who nurtured him carefully and brought him up to be a warrior. When he was grown he went to the east to fight the Saracens, and tnere he heard of a frightful dragon that demanded each day the sacrifice of a fair maiden. St George set bravely forth to find and kill the dragon and reacnea it on the day that It was about to devour Sabra. the lovely daughter of the king. With one blow from his great sword he pierced the monster's throat, then he unbound Sabra from the stake where sne naa been nea took her home to Coventry and mar ried her. Of course, the dragon represents the Dowers of evil, and Sabra repre sents the church, and the story of St. George and the dragon appealed to the imagination of all mediaeval iuu rope. Besides, it was said that St. Georere of Coventry appeared to the Crusaders under Robert, son of Wil liam the Cono-uerer. as they fought the Saracens outside the walls or Antioch In 1089 and gave them vic tory. This St. George became one or the seven "champions of Christen dom." In the twelfth century Richard I made the cry, "St. George and Merrie England," one of the most famous battle cres of Europe and St. George of Coventry became the patron saint not only or t,ngiana, nut ftiHo or jurtrunay.

Louis Miller's 2-year-old fox terrier killed a baby sparrow at Third and Wabasha streets and then had to fight for his life against the combined at tacks of several hundred other spar rows thirsting for revenge. The dog accompanied Mr. Miller on a business trip to the neighborhood, and when he saw the birdllng fluttering on the side walk pounced upon it with his paws and teeth at the same time. The owner of the schnabel thought nothing of the incident until he heard a vigorous twittering all around and saw the ter rier dash madly up Wabasha street to escape the fury of the vengeful spar rows. The terrier was getting severely punished.-St. Paul dispatch to the Kj.w "YTorJc World. I THE EVENING STORY Her Awakening. (By Clarissa Mackie.)

Robert Wade would come riding down that crooked white road from the village beyond the hill, and when the set ting sun flashed on the satiny coat of his cream horse she would fly back to the porch and sit demurely there until he had driven under the shed and made his way around the path to Join her. Then Olive and Robert had been engaged only one short week and there were thousands of delicious confidences to exchange. The churchbells had called wor shippers to prayer meeting, and from the distant village green, where three white churches formed a triangle, came the sound of music and singing voices. The sun set and long shadows crept over the street; sleepy birds twittered restlessly in the trees, and still Robert did not come. Olive paced the gravel path. That Robert should be late tonight con flicted with her own state of mind; he could not so long for her presence or he would not have permitted anyr thing to have delayed his reaching her as soon as his little office was closed. There was a soft thud of hoofs on the road and a dark shape loomed out of the dusk and stopped before the gate. Olive's heart leaped and then sank, for the man's voice was not Robert's. "That you, Olive?" It was Frank Wlnton's deep base. "Yes," she said ratner tremuiousiy. "Father home?" "No; he and mother have gone to meeting." "Tell your father If he's still of the same mind aoout ms iwraij. woodland he better stop in ana see me In the morning. I've found a purchaser for it." "Very well," said Olive. "I will tell him." "Waiting for Rob?" his voice came Jocosely out of the darkness 111 V.BnUJ X' n fi Olive hesitated. she said curtly. j That's all rignt tnen, remamcu Mr.. Winton cheerfully, "because x thn mountain road driv ing toward the Heights; had Mattle Ryder with him, and Snowbird was Just skimming over the ground! Pret ty good horse that. Good night, Olive, don't forget to tell your father!" Good night," saia uiive, mechan ically.' When the hoof beats had died away she went up the steps and sat down In a big chair on tne porcn. ah hi nnM Hh felt aueer and strange and very choky about the throat, and sud denly great warm drops splashed on her clasped hands. Sbn was ervine because Robert Wade, her betrothed lover, had fail ed to keep his appointment with her. but was riding over me. mountain roads with Mattie Ryder-the most hateful girl. In Leighton village.? The homeliest and most hateful! niivA wined the tears from her eyes and stared resentfully into the shad owy earden. White lilies swayea in ghostly fashion -on their long stems and waves of fragrance swept toward her with every breeze. Of course this would be tne ena nf nvervthine. for she would never marry Robert now a man who would engage himself to one gtrl. and with in a week pay noticeable attention to another and some one whom Olive detested, was not worthy of any wo man's love! Through the stillness came tne sharp clatter of hoofs on tne nin road, and Olive ran hastily Into 'the house and. extinguished the parlor lamp. Then she ran up to tier room and locked the door and knelt by the window. The carriage stopped in front of the house, and some one tied a horse at the hitching post. Then Robert's firm tread sounded on the path and she heard his voice calling. "Olive!" he said in a low tone. There was no reply. "Olive," he called again. "Where are you, sweetneart The girl on her knees by the win dow sobbed BOftly to herself in the darkness. Love was calling to her in thrilling tenderness below her window, yet she dared not go. Going down now. meant the sacrifice of her maidenly pride. She loved Robert Wade as she never could love again, but share him with another she would not; no matter what his excuse for riding with Mattie Ryder she would not con done the offense. Would not Matti boast of it to all the other girls when Olive's engagement was announced she blushed angrily. 'Olive!" The voice was more insist There was a ring of sincerity In it that drowned the Jealous doubts clam nrinir within her. Before her mental vision arose the picture of Robert's face as he had bidden her farewell for the last time. Tn an Instant she was flying dvwn tne stairs and fumbling at the doorlatch and In another instant she wa in Rob ert's arms, her head upon his broad breast, her fears and doupts iorgotr.en. I want to tell you wny x am so ia.e," said Robert after a while. "I was com- Incr down the mountain when I met "You needn't ten me lr you oon i want to." said Olive, bravely. "I wiuld rather not know." 'Nonsense." laughed her lover, press Ing her closer to him. "I met Frank Winton and Mattie Ryder; he was driving her over to the Height's station to meet a chap from Albany she' en gaged to him and he was coming to visit her folks, htwik s norse went lame as they were cummng tne moun tain and he asked me to drive her over and bring them both back here. I couldn't very well refuse it was a case of 'true lovers,' you snow, aarung, o Mattie eot in with me and I had to turn around and drive over that dismal road to the Heights, and you know what a one-horse place that station is: There wasn't a carriage to be had for love or money, and so Mattie and her Albany chap crowded Into the bug,7 with me and Snowbird flew all the way here. I guess he knew I was longins for you!" He bent and kissed her fcolt hair. They got oil at xne corner oeiow here and walked down to Ryder house. They told me they were going to be married In the fall. Frank said be would stop and explain to you did he came?" asked Robert, after another pause. Tes, saia unve quieiiy, lie came and he told me." There are tears on your cheek, sweetheart what Is the matter?" cried Robert, solicitously. "Nothing, dear," murmured Olive happily.

Souders the extreme view of the opponents to the Elmhurst park is probably presented. It is rather strange that Mr. Souders, who opposes the park proposition, is not within the pro posed benefit district, living at 1047 Spruce street, while the north line of the district is more than a block south of the property owned by Mr. Souders. The State Journal received one other article in opposition to the park, but inasmuch as the writer of it lived without the district it seemed unfair to permit him to voice the sentiment In the matter. This paper understood at the time the article was submitted as a typical one represent ing the opposition that Mr. Souders lived within the proposed park dis trict. In the communication are several re flections that should not mo .unnoticed. This paper has asked the Elmhurst syndicate (or a reply, but the syndicate people say it is a matter which is up to the mayor and council and the ma jority of the .people in the proposed benefit district, and they are willing: to let the matter be settled by the city and the majority. A written proposition is on file by the syndicate covering the details. This is in the hands of the committee on streets and walks. A petition askingr for the park la on file signed by 110 petitioners who are said to represent three times as much property as the opposition which num bers 104. In addition to the 110 petitioners for the park SO or 40 letters have Been written favoring It and are on file with the committee. That the Elmhurst people nave maae a remarkable success of the addition it made plain that of the forty acres ad vertised and put on the market 267 lots have been sold, leaving only 140 re mf.ining. The total sales of lots amounts to $62,700, over half of which has been raid in cash. The land the syndicate proposes to put Into a, park wfth the consent of the majority of those- concerned and the mayor ana council, is in the twenty acres as yet not advertised. The -Elmhurst syndicate does not wish to force a park on the people, wh J have to pay for it, unless they want It. The park portion is put in at one-ha'f the price paid for it. The admission of Elmhurst into the city, and the im provements already made, means $2,009 additional revenue to tne city in annua: taxes. FEW LIQUOR CASES, Only Eifiht on the District Court Docket Tills Year. A casual glance at the trial docket for September term of district court sees in the eases now aocketea a ratner uneventful though busy term. Of the 303 cases posted, the liquor prosecutions which formerly occupied so prominent a place have been forced into insig nificance by the late law and vigorous prosecution and number but eight. Th3 divorce cases continue in the lead, numbering 82 left overs. Of the more important cases to be tried are the Topeka club and building association case testing the legality of the locker system, the case against Dr, W. S. IJndsey. charged with a con tempt of the order of the court to re frain from treating Insane patients at his sanitarium, the International Har vester Co., and the creamery cases, and that of the lour rjoys cnargea with ae facing statuary in the high school. Cases classified as state cases number 41, city cases 37, jury cases 162 and court cases 63. Of the criminal cases appealed from the decisions of the po lice court those of disorderly houses and inmates number 12. There are two appeals by automobile drivers, one for fast driving and one for reckless driv ing. TILLOTSON IS HERE. His Attorney Appears at the Sheriffs Office. F. H. Tillotson, the manager of the Kansas City private detective agency whose arrest in connection with the Bleakley kidnaping case, was made to day, is supposed to be in Topeka awaiting the efforts of his attorney, Mr. E. T. Wright, of Kansas City, to make a deal with the county officials. Attorney Wright has called on Sheriff Norton, who referred him to County Attorney Schenck. As soon as Tillot son heard that a warrant had been issued for him in Topeka, he disap peared from his office, presumably coming to Topeka to give himself up. Tillotson is charged with being a party to the kidnaping scheme and furnishing Joe Gentry.- his assistant, to do the job. Mrs. Barclay is said to have made her arrangements for the kidnaping through Tillotson. He has been in constant communi cation with her and has furnished her all reports for the past four years con cerning the condition of the child. Attorney Wright claims that Tillotson has had nothing to do with the kid naping Itself. Taft's Autograph a Prize. Camp Perry, O., Aug. 31.

That the affinity idea is still popular with the men is the gist of a petition for divorce filed today by Mary Ellen Balvens aakinsr her maiden name and enajratlon from Henry Balvens. The Balvenses were married in sedaiia. mo., in Jane, 1906. But Balvens soon tired of hia Juns bride and It Is alleged lavished Improper and unlaw ful attentions upon another woman whom ce finally ran away with and has not been heard of by the plaintiff since. Mrs. Balvens wants her maiden name, Maxy Ellen Montgomery. M. C. KIIAPP CHOSEN. Will Be Physicial. Director of X. M. C. A. Mr. M. C. Knapp has been selected to fill the position as physical director of the T. M. C A. for the coming sea son, and will arrive in Topeka to begin his work September 15. Mr. Knapp received his early gymnasium training in St. Louis, Mo., in the Cen tral T. M. C. A. at that place and at Westminster College at Fulton, Mo. At both of these places he was dis tinguished for his adaptability for all lines of work used in the gymnasium. Later he studied the work more fully in a special course at the In stitute and Training School at Chi cago. Since then he has been em ployed constantly in gymnasium work at different institutions and has made a success of his work in every in stance. For the past two years he has been employed as physical direc tor at the Missouri Wesleyan college. The gymnasium at the Y. M. C. A. is being given a thorough clean ing to ba in readiness for the open ing which will take place September 17. Mr. Knapp comes here highly rec ommended by Dr. Kahulenberg who is at the head of the physical training department of the Chicago Training School. A brother of Mr. Knapp has secured a position as assistant phy sical director of the Central Y. M. C. A. EXIT DRINKING CUPS. Mill Be No More Found on Trains After Midnight. The actual destruction of all drink ing cup3 on trains in Kansas will take place as per schedule at 12 o'clock to night according to the statements of different" railway officials. This will be done in accordance with the edict of the state board of railway com missioners, tison the urgent request of Dr. S. Crumbine of the state oard cr health. The trains which are running to night twill for the most part carry drinking cups for the use of the pub lic. That is their will carry them un til 12 o'clock. Then promptly at 12 ociock 'an the train officials will pass through the trains taking the drinking cups from every coach and scatter them broadcast over the right of way in Kansas. Some of the roads will still provide their passengers with means of drink ing. Paper cups will be provided which will be within easy rCch of the thirsty. These will be used once and then thrown away. Other roads will supply their passengers with drinking cups at a nominal sum. One road will sell both paper and aluminum cups, the alum inum receptacles being of the folding variety. Tbe through trains will pick up drinking cups as soon as the Kansas state line Is reached, place them in secure places and again offer them for the puDilc accommodation as soon as Kansas has been traversed. One railway official in Kansas has a solution of the problem by which the patrons of the road will not be put to any extra expense for drinking cups, He advocates a drinking fountain. The new arrangement for the promo tion of health will likely put the public to some little inconvenience but it won't take long to form the habit. If it benefits public health, then it is a good thing. KLIIIG A MANAGER. Claims to Have Two Offers to Handle Big League Teams. Kansas City,. Mo., Aug. 31.

I HEAR OF L1NDSB0RG. Kansas Town and College Well Known There. Dr. Carl Swensson's Widely Read. Book Is The birthday anniversary of John Kystrom which he celebrated at his home at 1019 Jackson street last night recalls to his mind many of the fea tures of his hilly native home in northern Sweden. ji "We believe in celebr4tt?grbtl?hy3 and weddings in my country," said Mr. Nystrom to a visitor this morn ing. "I attended one wedding cele bration which lasted four days. On such occasions a rich farmer will add rooms to his house just for the en tertainment of his guests. "However, these additions are well built and last for a generation. The homes in the country of northern Sweden are built of logs. The sides of the houseB are sometimes painted red and the ends of the logs are paint ed white. "It is necessary to build the homes thus substantially and warm other wise the people would freeze to death In winter. I have known the ther mometer to go as low as forty de grees below zero in winter but this is unusual, the average coldest tempera ture being from thirty to thirty-five below. This often freezes a certain kind of small bird to death and I have seen many of them lying dead on the ground after a severely cold night. "The spring might be said to begin about the middle of May, as planting is started then. That is potatoes and oats are pnt in the ground. These were the principal crops when I lived there. Wheat and oats are also raised, as well as much baled hay, such as tim othy, and grass. "Of course the wheat is planted in the fall. The seeds which are sown In May mature in about four months. Perhaps- this-is because there is so much moisture in the season. I never knew such a drouth as we have been having lately. "Crops are usually good. One rea son for this is, although the farms are usually small as compared with Kan sas farms, no ground is wasted, and all is well fertilized. If it was not for this the farms would be worn out by this time. "Land is very valuable, but the ma jority of the farmers own their places. They are very industrious, even if I do say It myself. They work early and late. In some places women work in the fields with the men. It seems to make them healthy however. Where I came from people were rather tall. VXWBAS AEROPLAXK. In the aeroplane contest at Rhe machine for two hours, forty-three m seconds, covering eighty-three miles. ims, Paulhan remained up with his Inutes and twenty-four and four-fifths I am not so myself, by my brother is over six feet. "I will say another thing for my countrymen and that is they .apply themselves diligently to their school studies. I have heard that manual training originated In- Sweden and that people from all over the world go there to inspect the school sys tem. "The Swedish scheofarideolfege at Lindsborg, Kan., is Well known in Sweden. Everywhere an American goes he is asked about that Kansas town. This is partly due to the fact that the late president. Dr. Carl Swens- son, told of his school when he trav eled through Sweden and also wrote a book about the institution which was translated into Swedish and wide ly read in that country." What is life without pickles? Thev are the spice of the meal, just as the catsup adds to the flavor of the meat. And of course to the German as well a3 many Americans, a meal without kraut is like the play of "Hamlet" without Hamlet. Now all of these eatables are made by the Kuehne Preserving Works and sold wherever people eat. T. D. Joseph will sell your children good school shoes. Community Comment. "I dread to see passenger airships become common." said a Madison street man today, "for when they do how will people on the ground protect themselves from orange and banana peels as well as parts of the engine which may accldenally fall from the air crafts "What has become of the old-fashioned young -lady who swore to her girl friends that in spite of her good figure, she never wore a corset, 'no, never in her life?' asks a Kansas ave nue man. "On almost every street there is a cat which is said to be the best mouse catcher in the city." is the observation of a West Gorden street man. Extracted: "Turn failure into victory. Don't let your courage fade; And if you get a lemon Just make the lemon-aid." Tacked on: But if it's too rotten The lemon-aid likewise. Tour pluck is forgotten It's no use to compromise.

Young Men Overcharged by LiFerytnan Take Kevenge. "Spitzbube" and kindred vile epithets from across the sea may bo considered strong and vicious language at theii nativity but in the police court of Judg; Urmy their force is not felt so keenly and they do not constitute assault. This was demonstrated this morning when a section of Ash street foreign inhabi tants were brought Into court to recite the history of a family row. N. Verner, 85 years of age, the earlier of which were spent in Bavaria, was the complaining witness. He lives at 430 Ash street and on either side live a Mrs. Bush and a Mrs. Baum, the lat ter his niece. The old man complained yesterday to the police that Mrs. Bush had assaulted him. It was also learned that an 11-year-old son of that frau had teased him excessively. A war rant was issued for Mrs. Bush last evening, but when Patrolman Perney went to serve it he was told that Mrs. Baum had been the offender. Still the officer brought Mrs. Bush to the sta tion. "Schlagen Sie den alten mann auf den kopf," she was asked. "Nein, Nein. Ach Gott, nein," she answered and the officers felt that they had Indeed cap tured the wrong woman, so she was told to come back today. This she "did and the whole neighborhood was in at tendance. For a long time the court room was transplanted to a noisy German babbit. During a lapse the court learned thai an aforementioned bad name and some others had been the only offense against the old man and that he was cranky and peeved anyhow; so after a long lecture on the just conduct towarl an old man little of which was assimi lated by -the recipients the judge dis charged them, saying aside, "I did not want to nne those people."

Bray made a complaint last evening for Lester Reynolds, Henry Curtis ana Bert Von Wolf. The three were an rested last night by Patrolman Wyatt and will be tried this evening. The four young things dragged into police circles from the sheltering trees of the fair grounds Sunday night were given "honorable" discharge. Judge Urmy and the police prosecutor decided that Carlos Diaz, harking from Mexico, did not steal the grip from the Alba chili joint and did not even look like he would do it. Pete Gamolowskle and his brother, Joe, who together long ago com menced operations in Topeka which made them police i characters here, are now in police court in Kansas City in company with another Topeka youth whose name is not known. The three ,of them broke into a store in that city, it is charged. Small favors are received as joy fully at the police' station as are small favors accepted when granted there. The tribe can not say enough in appreciation of a new file case which has been installed in the court room to replace something which looked like a box set up on a table.

The little wowman who has been standing up under the strain for so long is ready to totter and fall and according to a statement given a State Journal reporter bv her doctors In Kansas Citv yesterday, another iege of local trouble over her child would place her in bad condition rthvslcallv.

She was told of the fund that was being raided for her benefit and the social that would be held on her lawn tomorrow nifrht.

When I think of how many people have treated me so kindly I cannot help but feel encouraged, but that awful fear of the loss of Marian just comes over me and makes me so unhappy. But I am trusting that all will turn out well." Mrs. Bleakley's sister. Miss Thomp son, is in constant attendance upon the child and the mother and attends the courts, confers with the lawyers, and reallv assumes diplomatic relatiOTts;in the "legal fight. The Kansas City lawyers stated that it was tV.rough the"lnfluencc of Miss Thompson that the governor honored the requisition. As soon as she heard that Mrs. Bar clay had conferred with Acting Governor Gmellch, she went to Jef ferson City at once and gave the other side of the story. Miss Thompson, however, is very modest about her work and she de clares that the telegrams from the prominent Topekans denying the affidavit sent by Attorney MeKeever, is what influenced the governor to de cide in favor of the Kansas officers.

There were over 300,000 paid entries to the aerodrome and probably 100.000 more people witnessed the flights from the hills outside the course. The aero plane companies took orders for fifty- two aeroplanes during the week, most of them persons not 'before Interested in aviation. This fact alone proves how powerfully the imagination has been affected by the wonderful scenes witnessed here. Manufacturers believe that rportsmen of every country will now begin to buy "aeroplanes, particu larly as the number of actual flights here during the week, estimated at over 1,300, were without a single fatal acci dent. This demonstrates that flying is no more dangerous than was automo- biling in its early stages. The cost of the different machines ranges from $2, 000 to $5,000. Sfteaking of his flight for heighr.

The head had been badly beaten, and lying close by was a large iron bolt covered with blood and hair. The husband said that he had not seen his wife since Saturday evening; that they quarreled then and this end ed in a declaration of Mrs. Lukes to go to her father's home in Joplin. Ac cording to Mr. Lukes she left the house to board an interurban car, and that was the last he saw of her. The Lukes had been married ten years. WITHDRAW THEIR SUIT. love. Cameron was madly In fatuated with Mary Phelps, a south ern Missouri belle, who. broke her en gagement and married another man. It was Cameron's own letters to Miss Phelps, returned by her to him at the time of her marriage, that the hermit treasured for 50 years. Their recent discovery revealed the secret of a life that had been a puzzling mystery. The inference is that Cameron was a broken-hearted man, due to his de votion to a, woman, who 'jilted him, That is a mistake. He was solely and distinctively an egoist, who loved no body and nothing in the world but Cameron. Miss Phelps was a fortun ate woman to escape his Inordinate self-love. Of all the sentiments love is the most beautiful; but it becomes base when attended by the dross of sordid egoism. There is nothing more beau teous than the action of John Buskin; but Cameron, whoever he was, was incapable of such sacrifice to promote the happiness of her he vainly im agined he loved. As a husband such a man as cam- "erson would be as jealous as a Turk, or a Moor. The wife of a husband such as he would have been would have had but one office, and that to minister to his vanity and his self ishness. Her life would have oeen miserable as long the marriage tie bound her to such a miserable crea ture. Tet the world has sympathy, per haps tears, for this egoist, who im agined he was In love with a woman when he- was only "in love with him self. It is -estimated that the proposed increase in the registry fee from eight to ten cents will result in an increase of nearly one million dol lars a year in the general revenue from the reeistrv branch of the pos tal service, which Postmaster General Hitchcock is investigating in connec tion with other branches of the pos tal service with a view to increasing efficiency and decreasing expendi tures. This estimate is based on the assumption that the volume of regis try business will not decrease at the ten cent rate, but even if it should, the government would profit by the change, because If the registry busi ness is conducted at a loss, the less business done the smaller the loss. The special investigating commit tee appointed by the postmaster gen eral will devise other ways and means to wipe out the deficit in the operation of the registry system. Were the proposed ten cent fee applied to all free registry mail the increase In revenue would amount to $633,000 ad ditional. The expense of handling the registered and other mail for the government Is very heavy. Colonel Benjamin F. Chase, of Kins ley, Kan., president of the council of administration of the Army and Navv TJnion of the District of Columbia, ad dressed the semiannual meeting of General William F. Barry Garrison, A. N. IT., last night in the Grand Army hall. Colonel Chase favored the propo sition advanced by Commander-in-Chief Allen of the Sons of Veterans for the erection in this city of a memorial building for the use of the patriotic or ganizations. The garrison, by a vote, indorsed the memorial building project Colonel Chase is an .mploy of- the pension office and is- prominentyH indentined witn artairs or patriotic or ganizations at the national capital. slides on each- side. The time of col lection may be printed on each slide. The carrier can insert the exact time when he -finds'! from experience he Is due to reach each box on his route. The publication of this more definite in formation should prove more satisfac tory to the public and reduce the nun:- oer or complaints made because of de lay, in. the collection of mail. The in troduction of the new card should also have the effect of causing carriers to be more faithful in the discharge of their duties, as there will be less opportunity or excuse for shirking. The new card Is made of postal card stock and with a glass facing Is enclosed' in a substan tial wood frame, one end of which may be unscrewed to. admit of the card and glass being withdrawn whenever it is desired to change the hours of collec tion. It is suggested that the hours of delivery at the postoffice be also pub lished in parallel columns with the hours of collection for the better In formation of the public. If the trial of the adjustable time cards in Washing ton provesr successful, it will be more generally used,, provided satisfactory prices are made. Miss Estelle Reel, general superin tendent of Indian schools, is one of the most highly educated and interesting women at the national capital. Miss Reel's interest in her wards is absorb ing, and she wants every person with whom she comes In contact to imbibe a little of her enthusiasm. In speaking of the oft-discussed question as to whether civilization tends to increase tuberculosis among the Indians, she said: I "Out of every 100 families examined for the disease on one of the South Dakota reservations 90 families had one or more members afflicted with the disease. We are trying to educate them in sanitation. They will stuff the win dows and even the keyholes of their dwellings with old rags unless they are watched, but if they show as much adaptability in learning lessons in re gard to health and protective measures as they do in industrial and; domestic science, we may be able to s6ve" one question that is as vital to the Indians as to the white man. We have manv instances of com plete transformation from war paint and grotesque dancing to civilization. When we found Long Gun he was la years old, in the squalid tent of his Pawnee parents, near Rainy mountain, in Ok lahoma. He took four years of training, and we sent him to Haskell school at Lawrence, Kan., for four more. .He be gan his work as a civilized being as a carpenter. He worked four years and then branched out as a contractor. Long Gun has built a number of good homes for white people, and is worth between $20,000 and $30,000 today." barracks of the rurales was washed away and much military equipment was lost. The railroad loss is esti mated by officials at $1,000,000, which added -to. the loss- in this city makes nearly $21, OO0-,OflO-of property damage here and in the vicinity. J "ODORLESS DRUNKS."

Property Loss $21,000,000, the Latest Estimate at Monterey. Eight Railroads Take Advantage Missouri Itiver Rate Decision. of Chicago. Aug. 31. The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway company and seven other railway companies interest ed in the order of the interstate com merce commission instituting a new proportionate rate between Chicago and Des Moines, today withdrew their suit to enjoin enforcement of the order. The withdrawal was due to the recent decision of the United States circuit court in the Missouri river rate case in which the alleged power of the commis sion to make new rates was denied. The principle involved in the Des Moines case is the same as that decided in the Missouri river rate case, which will be reviewed by the supreme court of the United States. HE WAS ON THEOHIO. s. s.

Captain Burdette, who lost all his personal effects, arrived here uninjured and says when the rescue work began he helped to get the wom en, children and young men aboard, thinking they were worth more to the world than a man of 76. When the vessel was engulfed Captain Burdette was on the deck. Fortunately a wave swept him clear of the whirlpool, and, as he was a good swimmer, he kept afloat until picked up. APPEAL FOR HELP. lied Cross Asks People to Aid Mon terey Flood Sufferers. Washington. Aug. 31. The Americac Red Cross has issued an appeal to the American people for contributions tor the relief of the Mexican flood sufferers. Contributions may be sent to the Na tional Red Cross, care of the war de partment, Washington, D. C. A telegram from the American con sul at Monterey, states that thousands are homeless and practically the' en tire population of 100.000 have suffered from the flood. It is believed that from $50,000 to $100,000 will be needed to meet the emergency. The central committee has directed that $2,000 be sent to Consul General Hanna at once. This sum nearly ex hausts the fund always kept on hand by -the society for emergency. The United States and the Mexican governments are anxiously watching the political situation along the north ern border of Mexico, where there has been recant signs of an impending revolution against the administration of President Diaz. So far the move ment has not gained as much headwa-' as that of last summer, which spread over several states before it was checked by the government troops. Thi present situation, however, contains all the elements of danger and. if not checked, there is a possibility of a seri ous revolt against the Mexican govern ment. Ambassarlor.. Thompson- says Mexico is able to handle any emergency that might arise. Louis Hostetter. of Kansas, American consul at Hermosillo, in the state of Sonora, also telegraphed to the state department denying the rumors of dis order, which, he said, were misleading and incorrect. Some persons under the influence of liquor, he added, have created disorder by yelling in the streets for political candidates, but that except for these instances conditions ii. district are normal. The postoffice department h3s decid ed to test the practicability of an ad justable time card for mail boxes, in vented by William W. Day, an em ploye in the division of supplies of the Washington city postoffice. The pur pose of the new card is to notify the public as to the exact time when mail is to be collected, or approximately so. This was the design of the old card, but it did not subserve the purpose. The new card Is provided with twenty1 Monterey, Aug.- 31.- With eight hundred bodies recovered and buried in Monterey, two thousand is now the estimate of the city authorities of those who lost their lives through out the valley of the Santa Catarina river. The number of homeless, many destitute, is placed at between 15,000 and 20.000. The Santa Catarina river at Mon terey has subsided sufficiently to per mit "a passage into the dstrict lying to the south and a visit to that sec tion 'by a correspondent of the Asso ciated Press revealed an appalling condition. People who had been saved from the flood of Saturday morning had been without food until, on some cables, a small amount of bread and beans was sent across. The river was till running-swiftly and in order to get across it was necessary to wade through half a mile, of water so as to avert the current which was still strong enough to sweep a man from his feet. Once on the south side of the river, evidences of the terrible de struction wrought by the flood were to be seen on every side. Five blocks of the district were as though they had never existed and in the remain ing portion of the district bodies were being taken from the ruins and buried by a party, of gendarmes sent across for the purpose. Thus far no Americans have been reported lost and It is not expected any of them are missing, as few for eign families resided in the district. Many houses have fallen in the ef fects of continuous rains which have occurred during the 72 hours ending noon Sunday. During this time 21 inches of rain fell in Monterey and up the Santa Catarina canyon. One of the buildings destroyed was the San Francisco church which' was the oldest building in the city.
