"I AM THE MAN." Peary Says He's the Only One Who Eyer Stood at Pol Prepared to Prove It When the Time Comes. GIVES OUT STATEMENT Dictates a Telegram for the Associated Press. Will Wait Until Dr. Cook State ment Is Made. Explorer Given a Lesson Newspaper Enterprise. in Rnttlo Harbor. Labrador, Sept. 14 via Wireless Telegraph to Cape Ray, N. F. "I am the only white man who has ever leached the North Pole and I am prepared to prove it." This state ment was made to the representative of the Associated Press by Commander Robert K. Peary, in reply to a ques tion on the Peary-Cook controversy. The Associated Press tug, Thomas Douglas, after a stormy passage up the west coast of Newfoundland and through the Strait of Btlle Isle from Sidney, arrived at this lonely whaling and mission settlement at noon yester day. A squall of rain was sweeping over the harbor as the Thomas steamed in, but with glasses it was po&sible to make out the mast and hull of the Arctic steamer, Roosevelt, moored in the inner bav. The Thomas broke out the "North Pole" flag, the same em Mem that was flying from the mizzen mast of the Roosevelt and signaled "the Associated Press congratulates vou." The Roosevelt then signaled the thanks of Commander Peary tor this message, whereupon the Thomas gave three loud blasts on her wnisne. m mnnnw there came from the Roosevelt a chorus of barking and yelping from the Eskimo dogs on board tnat ecnoea Vaek from the- surrounding nms. The Thomas drew near to the Roose velt. The steamer looked little the v.orse for her second trip to the Polar regins. Along the rail were gathered the members of her famous crew, among them the redoubtable Captain Robert Bartlett, who was at once rec oirnixed. Captam Bartlett invited the Thomas tc lay alorgsfdo and the correspondent to come on board without delay. The r-nrresnondent clambered over the weather beaten bulwarks and proceed ed direct to the cabin to meet the man who has stood upon the apex of the vorld. The commander's greeting was cor dial. "This is a new record in newspaper enterprise." he said, and I appreciate the compliment." Declines to Discuss Details. The correspondent at once began questioning the explorer regarding the merits of Dr. Frederick A. Cook's claim to have reached the pole. The commander declared positively that he would not further discuss this subject until the mam Doint. whetner ur. Cook had actually reached the North pole or not had been decided by otners. He then dictated the following tele gram to the Associated Press for pub lication: "I am the only white man who has ever reached the North pole and I am prepared to prove it at the proper time. I have already stated publicly that Cook has not been to the pole. This I reaffirm and I will stand by it. but I decline to discuss the details of the matter. This will come out later. I 'have said that Dr. Cook's statement that he had reached the pole should not be taken seriously and that 'I have him nailed' by concrete proof to sup port my statement. In six months you will probably get the whole story. It would not be policy for me to enter upon a debate of the full subject as it now stands. To do so I would be giving out much information of which other uses could be made. I intend to wait until Dr. Cook has issued his full authorized statements. Wait for Cook's Statement. Up to the present time there have been only newspaper accounts of Dr. Cook's alleged Polar trip and these may or may not be accurate. When Dr. Cook has time to issue a complete au thorized version of his journey will be the proper opportunity for me to make public the information which I have. After that the jury in other words, the people and the scientific bodies of the wcrld will pays Judgment on the mat ter and there will then be nothing teft of Dr. Cook's case, but his own as sertions that he has reached the North Pole. In the meanwhile it is my de termination not to deal with debates, for the reasons already stated." Commander Peary was then asked if new land could have been discovered in latitude 84. longititude 86. In reply ho shrugged his shoulders and said it was quite possible that an unknown conti nent existed further west. He referred to the land discovered by himself on previous trips that had not been ex plored. Asked what would be the interna tional effect of planting the stars ard stripes at the North Pole. Commander Peary said that he had notified the sec retary of state that he had taken pos session of the pole in the name of the United States and that it remained for the secretary to decide what that meant. He said he left records on the Ice at the pole. Commander Peary is done with ac tive exploring. He will continue to tak an interest in Arctic and Antarctic x rloration but from his home and he de clared that he would withdraw from field work. THE ARCTIC CLUB. Recognize Cook as Discoverer or Pole and WW Give Him a Medal. ,eZ rk' Scpt- "--After a meet '"f.f the executive committee of the Arctic. Cluh of America R. O. Stebbins Its chairman, gave the club's attitude on the controversy. ,TbArctie CIub of America," he said, has nothing to do with the con Ariwh .htr iheiiscvery of the pole. the Arctic club recognizes is that D. Cook is the discoverer of the po e and that Peary reached there. Our only desire is to honor the discoverer Neither sido has proved its ease to America but since the Danish govern nient has recognized Dr. Cook we feel that the burden of proof now falls on his opponents. "The Arctic club." Mr. Stebbins con tinued, "will present to Dr. Cook a gold medal two and a half inches tn diame ter, showing it bas relief Dr. Cook's standing on the top of the globe wav ing the stars and stripes Preparations to honor Dr. Cook are more advanced than those for Peary, because the Iattcr's arrival Is more dis tant and his plans as yet more nebue lous. Singijg focieties of Brooklyn have arranged to go down the harbor in a chattered steamer to welcome their hero with lyric praise. Bells will ring and whistles blow from factories, fer ries and all the water craft of the bay. On the other hand, in response to the equally great interest in Peary, prepar ations ire being made at the American Museum of Natural Histcrv here to set apart a special section of the building for a display of Peary's arctic collec tions. PEARY'S BOATSWAIN Confirms Story That Peary Took Dr. Cook's Stores. St. Johns, Sept. 14. Allan Writ ten, who was boatswain of the Peary auxilary steamer Erik in 1905 and again in 1908. adds his quota to the polar controversy today. On his ex peditions he naturally saw much of Peary. He was also on the Erik in S the summer of 1907. when she lay ror a ween in Sidney along- side the schooner John R. Bradley, in which Dr. Cook was starting for the polar region. The Erik, that year was go ing to Hudson Bay for the Canadian government. He confirms the, charge made by Dr. Cook at Copenhagen that Peary took Cook's provisions, adding that not only did the crew of the ship take Cook's stores that was at Etah. but the boats were sent to Annatook, thirty miles distant. to remove Cook's provisions which were stored there. The boatswain also made the state ment that both Cook's and Francke's collections of ivory and skins some of them very valuable likewise were taken. He said that the trouble with Peary's previous expeditions had been the lack of supplies. Instead of remaining away for three years. Commander Peary was compelled to return after fifteen months, the real reason Whitten declared, being that he did not have enough supplies to remain longer. SCHLEY TAKES HAND. Contrary to Expectations, Naval Of ficer Sides With Dr. Cook. New York, Sept. 14. With Dr. Cook homeward bound and Com mander Peary now in touch with the correspondent two swelling streams of conflicting affirmation are now centered on a city already boiling over. Comment and criticism lack nothing of their previous acidity and rather gain than lose in volume. Previous assumption that Com mander Peary would have the United states navy solidly behind him was not borne out in a letter from Rear Admiral Schley (retired) made pub lic today by Captain B. S. Osborn, secretary of the Arctic Club of America of vhich Dr. Cook is a member. The letter runs in part as follows: "I like Cook's attitude immensely in this unfortunate, unnecessary and unwise controversy. He certainly has been dignified and manly in the stand he has taken in this matter." Cap tain Osborn follow-ed up his letter from the admiral tonight with a lec ture on "Who Discovered the North Pole?" "Dr. Frederick A. Cook." he read, "was for two vears my wife's physician. I saw him two or three times a week and we chattered many hours. If I have ever known a man of Integrity, probity, sincerity and modesty, it is Dr. Cook. "I have known also the other fel low known him to depart from truth in large margins." Dr. Cook's attitude in withholding details of his discovery was attributed to his desire not to anticipate the publication of his book. "But as soon as the other claimant got w ithin reach of the wireless," Baid the captain, "he sent dispatches to everybody he could think of, but delayed informing the mother of the unfortunate Marvin who perished during the expedition." PEARY SAVED THE STORES. Bridgman Says They Were Abandoned by cook s steward. New- York. Sept. 14. Developments in the North Pole controversy today con tain arguments in favor of both Com mander Peary and Dr. Cook. The oft repeated harges that Peary made use of Cook's stores is denied by Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club. On the other hand the supporters of the Brooklyn physician have been quick to seize upon the in telligence that only one Eskimo stood by the naval officer's side when he rais ed the American flag at the extreme top of the earth. The backers of Commander Peary point out that while Allan Whitten. the boatswain of the Peary auxiliary steamer Erik, in 1905. and 1908, declares that Peaiy's people took Dr. Cook's stores at Etah and Annotok, he admits he did not know whether or not their removal was by arrangement with Rudolph Francke. Cook's steward, who had been left in charge or the sup plies. Herbert L. Bridgman s statement wired from Sidney. N. S.. where he is awaiting the arrival of Peary oh the Roosevelt, asserts that instead ot ap propriating his rival's stores Peary only "saved" them after they had oeen abandored by Francke. Mr. Bridgman says Francke was picked up by Peary's men In North Star bay between Cape York and Etah. while he was trying to return to civilization from the post where Cook had left him. Francke, says Mr. Bridgeman, said he was physical ly unfit to remain longer in the ex treme north and after Peary's sur geon had confirmed this statement Francke was given money by Peary to take him- home. The attitude of Cook's supporters here after hearing that Peary had only one Eskimo to confirm his state ment regarding the 86 hours spent at the pole is expressed by Frederick S. Dellenbaugh, an explorer and officer of the American Geographical so ciety. Mr. Dellenbaugh is quoted to day as follows: "It would now seem that the pre ponderance of Eskimo is in favor of Dr. Cook. There evidentl;- was no scientist present in either case to verify the observations. Perhaps two Eskimos are better than one (Dr. Cook says two Eskimos were with him at the pole), but I. do not know that it makes any great -difference, i BOSTONJS READY Temporany White House Will Be Moved Today.

President Taft arose early today and summon ing both Secretary Carpenter and As sistant Secretary Foster to his cottage, plunged into a mass of correspondence which had accumulated over night. Things were going with a rush both at the cottage and at the executive offices today and when the president motors into Boston at 3 o'clock this afternoon the office force of clerks, stenographers and messengers will be cnlv half an hour behind him. The office furniture, files, etc., brought to Beverly from Washington, will be stored here for business again next summer. President Taft hopes to spend at least three months here in 1910. Up to todav the president had taken no action in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, although it had been in timated last week that a statement of some sort might be expected before Mr. Taft left Beverly. It Is now said that the president will wait until the trip out of Boston begins tomorrow morning before deciding what he may have to say. BANQUET TO SHERMAN.

Brown, local treasurer of the Union Pacific Railway company, died here last night of pneumonia. Mr. Brown- had beeii an employe of the Union Pacific for 40 yearn HE USEDA RAZOR John Castles, New York Million aire, Tired of Life. Stood in Front of Mirror and Cut His Own Throat. BOTTLE OF POISON, TOO Was Found Beside Him in His Boom at Hotel. He Was President of the Union Trust Company. New York, Sept. 14. John W. Castles, president cf the Union Trust company of this city, with a capitalization of $1,000,000, a director in other well known corporations and prominent in club and social Jlfe in this city and the south. cut his throat from ear to ear in the Grand Union hotel 'Monday afternoon and was found dead stretched across a bed last night. He had been in ill health for some time and his suicide is ascribed solely to a nervous break down and not to financial troubles. His body was discovered about 9 o'clock by his brother. Burton S. Cas tles, who, having become alarmed at Mr. Castles' failure to return home from the bank, began a search through the otels of the city. Arriving at the Grand Union, he found that Mr. Cas tles had- registered there under his own name at 4:20 o'clock in the afternoon and had gone to the room assigned to him on the second floor. .'As his body was cold when found indications are that he took his life soon after closing the door behind him. The body, dressed only- in the under garments, was lying across the bed, while on a table near by was a bloody razor with what he had ended his life. He had made his way to the bed before he expired.-- The position of the razor leads to the belief that he stood be fore the mirror while slashing his throat. On a dresser near the bed there was an eight ounce bottle unlabeled, but containing acid. Whether he had taken any of this before cutting his throat had not been ascertained last night. A physician was summoned hastily after the body was found but the banker was dead.' The police and -coroner were then notified and an investigation -be gun. According to his friends Mr. Castles was broken in health by overwork and had little connection with the- Union Trust company since assuming the-pres idency of the institution-m January. Not long ago Mr. Castles condition became so serious that he was sent to a canitarium where he remained for three months: under treatment. A tlrat he returned to New York accom panied by an. attendant and attended briefly to business matters so rar as he was able. On Wednesday-; last he came down on the latest of these trips and for the first time during his ill ness, -was allowed to go to the .bank yesterday unattended. He was expect ed home early in the faternoon and his failure to return, started the search v.hich revealed his tragic death. Alexander S. Cochran, a director of the Union Trust company, speaking of ficially for that institution last night said positively that Mr. Castles' suicide had no bearing whatever on financial matters. He was simply an overwork ed man. AS PARIS SEES IT. French Papers Side With Cook in North Pole Controvery. Paris. Sept. 14. The Temps today dis cussing' the sovereignty of the North Pole, expresses the opinion that the relative permanence of the ice there might properly raise the question whether this territory comes under the ordinary international rules applying to land an the high seas. The paper in sists, however that exploring expedi tions such as Cook's and Peary's can not give title and to this end it quotes Calvo to the effect that the acquisition of sovereignty is involved with effective occupaton, namely, accompanied or fol lowed by the commencement of admin istrative organization or commercial and industrial exploitation. A majority of the authorities agree, the paper says, that the simple planting of the flag is not sufficient. The Temps also again severely criticises Comman der Peary's "broadcast accusations" against Dr. Cook as well as his "gen eral grandiloquent attitude," saying In this connection: "Peary's patriotic declaration about taking possession of the pole in th name of the president of the United States contrasts with the commercial spirit he displayed in copyrighting the story." NEARLY INCH OF RAIN. Mercury Also Takes a Drop to Sixty. Fire Degrees Today. The rule was reversed during the past 24 hours.

Five Thousand Delegates At tend Opening Session. JOE CANNON TALKS. He Deplores Haste in the Bank ing Legislation. Practical Banking: Questions Descussed by Tisitors. Chicago, Sept. 14. Delegates to the thirty-fifth annual convention of the American Bankers association in the opening session today had outlined for their consideration a plan for the organization of a central bank with a capitalization of not less than $100, 000,000. The Central bank plan as a preven tive of a recurrence of the financial disturbance of 1907, was outlined by President George M. Reynolds in his annual address. Under his plan such a bank would be the depository of the government which, however, would not have supervision or control of its affairs. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, who addressed the convention at the close of the morning session, declared that the law enacted after the panic of 1907, the Vreeland-Aldrich act, was not perfect, but had good results. He said that when congress met it was be sieged with currency experts, each doubting the orthodoxy of the other. 1 believe," said Speaker Cannon "that the only fault of the enacted law is that it only lasts six years. It is not perfect, but it can be made per feet. If that law had been on the statute books there would have never been a suspension of business in 1907, with its issuance of clearing house certificates. Haste Is Harmful. Continuing the speaker declared that haste was harmful in legislation and that the work of the monetary commission in revising the currency laws should be slow and careful. Af ter commenting on "czardom" which he defended as having been the rule of the majority since the time of Speaker Thomas B. Reed, Speaker uannon said: "One of the greatest questions be- iore us, is shall the country go in debt for vast amounts, because this or that set of people, says; so?' The good roads people want J100,000,000 the swamp land people nearly as much and then we are asked to de vote another J100, 000,000 for the waterways to improve our internal waterways. "In a hundred years we will see it; in 50 years we may. But we will spend our money in a sensible way for things that need doing first. I don't believe congress will ever bond futurity for 50. 100 or 200 million dollars at the behest of these ad voqat6rs. I know I will never vote for it." At the meeting of the national as sociation of supervisors of state banks separately. Lawrence O. Mur ray, comptroller of the currency created tumltous applause with his plan for the co-operation of national and state bank examiners. "Joint examination of banks, na tional and state, will work greatly to the betterment of banking con ditions," said Mr. Murray. "Co-operation in fact is absolutely essential to the welfare of the banker and the depositor. When rotten ness is found in a bank let both the national and the state examiners be apprised of the fact." Governor Deneen of Illinois and Joseph T. Talbert. president of the Chicago Clearing House association, welcomed the bankers to the state and city. Colonel Robert J. Lowry of At lanta, Ga., former president of the as sociation, responded. George M. Reynolds of Chicago, president of the association, delivered his address. Committee reports were presented. The President's Address. "Assembled, as we are, at a time when prosperity again smiles on' our country and our people are at peace with the world and amonj; themselves, I congratulate you upon the favorable auspices under which the thirc -fifth annual convention of association be gins its deliberations. "The panic of. 1907 was probably the most severe- one ever experienced in this country, and since we were forced into a period of financial confusion an a disaster to business at a time when the physical conditions of our country were apparently in such a healthy condition, it is plain that there existed some great cause for such a sudden upheaval; and since the causes have not as yet been removed, our felicitations upon the re turn to better conditions should be tempered with conservatism and cau tion until this has been accomplished. ''That we are so rapidly approaching a more satisfactory condition is due io so much to any change in our economic conditions as to the wonderful recupc--ative powers given- us by the richness and fertility of the soil of our country. Po ra Central Bank. "As the result of a study of the finan cial systems of the various countries of the world and the knowledge gained from actual experience in business of some of the changes .necessary in order that we may secure a system of cur rency that will meet all the require ments of our rapidly growing business and which will at the same- time com mand the confidence and respect of the entire business world, I am convince! that we should have established in thl. country a central -bank with a capital of 100 millions and with power of note issue, to be operated under govern mental supervision or control. "In 1907 we had In the United States one billion seven hundred and eighty million dollars of gold coin, of which amount one billion one hun dred million dollars was held in the treasury, yet we turned to Europe for assistance, with the result that the Bank of England alone furnished us directly and indirectly about one hun dred million dollars of gold. "There should be a change in our present laws governing national banks, giving them greater powers to (.Continued on Page Eight.) IXTO TWO STATES. This Sentiment Has Taken Deanite Shape in California. Los Angeles, Sept. 14. The senti ment aroused in some quarters to. di vide California into two states took definite shape here yesterday when the South California State league, was made a permanent organization at a citizens mass meeting. The meeting was called to protest against the recent action of the state board of equalization In raising the assessed valuation of the property of this county. BRYAN ON THE TARIFF. Democrats Must Favor Material Re ductions If They Expect to Win. Dallas, Tex., Sept. 14. William J. Bryan delivered an address here today. Mr. Bryan's subject was "Democ racy and the Tariff." He emphasized the necessity of senators and congress men being bound- by party platforms saying he would later suggest a farm for such a plan. If all of the Democrats in the senat and house had voted against every pro posed increase in the tariff and for every proposed decrease we might have made our fight next year upon the party's record without making a specific declaration on items of sched ules," said Mr. Bryan, "but in view of the fact that Democrats in both the senate and house differed as to the In terpretation of the Democratic plat form and as to the rates that should l? imposed under the various scheduler, I believe that It is necessary for our platform to be specific and emphatic. If we expect to secure control of congress we must convince the public that we will, if entrusted with power, favor material reductions. Unless our candidates for congress can agree be fore the election they are not likely to agree after the election. "If each Democratic candidate will state his position the voters can select a representative who will give expres sion to their views and I am much more anxious that the representali ires shall reflect the wishes of his consti tuents than I am that he shall agree with my opinions." Mr. Bryan concluded his address with an extended argument in favor of raw material. SICKLY SENTIMENTALITY As Much as Any Other One Thing Pro motes Crime, Says Chicago Judge. Chicago, Sept. 14. "Sickly senti mentality" does as much as any other one thing to promote crime, according to opinions expressed -by Municipal Judge William N. Gemmill in an ad dress delivered last night before the Douglas Neighborhood club. "During the last two years a wave of sentiment has. spread over this en tire community that does nothing Jess than foster anarchy," he said. "It is a weakly, silly, give-a-man-another-chance idea that is virtually knocking the props from under our- laws. There are two thousand professional pick pockets in Chicago. They are- brought before me day after day in court and always they ask for a jury trial. I have kept count of these trials, and nine times out of ten these pickpockets are set free and go back to practice their nefarious vocations again. "Maudlin sentimentality is to blame for all. of this. This must cease or so ciety will go to pieces." ANDY RICHARDS RESIGNS Announces Tliat He'll Practice Law In Oklahoma. Wellington. Kan., Sept. 14.

Plans of the general labor union for the home coming reception It will tender Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor In this city October 1, include Invita tions to President Taft and William J. Bryan. While President Taft will be un able to attend.

Believed That Immense Hold ings TTill Be Kept Intact. KEEP ON WITH WOKK. Means .That Flan Are to Be Carried Out. Many Charitable Organizations Interested in Contents. New Tork, Sept. 14. The will of E. H. Harriman will be filed this week ac cording to Robert S. Lovett who has been elected chairman of the Union Pa cific executive committee to succeed Mr. Harriman in the administration of the vast Harriman railroad interests. Mr. Lovett who was believed to hav been closer to Mr. Harriman than any other man would not discuss the con tents of the will but said it had been drawn by Chas. A. Peabody preside .t of the Mutual Life Insurance company and that it was In his possession. Thia will which is perhaps exciting more in terest than any similar document in many years, will probably be filed for probate at Goshen, trie county seat or Orange county, which includes tins large Harriman estate at Arden. For legal purposes, a copy may be entered in the courts in this city and it is un derstood that the first announcement of the will's details will be made in this city. It was understood that the will would probably be filed on Thursday. Among Mr. Harriman's intimacy friends, .the belief prevails that tha enormous Harriman railroad holdl ga are not to be divided for a long period, and that the will creates a trust for their administration, the Income going to the heirs. It is also said that whhe the railroad and commercial interests will be held intact through a trustee ship, the will gives to Mrs. Harriman the magnificent- estate at Arden and also the town house In Fifth avenue. If these surmises are correct, and they are generally credited in Wall street, many localities in various parts of the country will rejoice. will mean that the plans for railroad development which Mr. Harriman had underway, will be fully executed by the trustees of his estate. In acquir ing a considerable interest in tha Erie railroad, it was commonly ac cepted that Mr. Harriman contem plated a radical Improvement, in the system, particularly In the suburban service.

Hunter is touted as one of the best first base men in the Western league. He is young, fast and a good hitter.

BURNING ECZEMA QUICKLY SPREAD Started Like Ringworm on Hand Hand Swelled and Then Humor Spread to Arms, Legs and Face It was Sowething Terrible. PRESCRIPTIONS FAILED: CUTICURA CURED HIM "I have used the Cuticura Remedies for a very bad case of eczema with com plete success. About niteen or eignteen years ago the disease developed in the shape or a large pinhead on top or my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show it to a doc tor. He pronounced it ringworm, and made very light of it. He gave me a wash and told me to apply it before go ing to bed and all would be over in the morning. But the next morning my hand was all swollen up and I poulticed it. When the doctor came to his office I showed him the hand and to my sur prise he told me that he had never ex perienced such a case in his practice and said it was well I poulticed it. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms ana finally to my thighs and legs generally and finally on my face, was something terrible. ine Durnmg After I had tried this doctor, as I thought, lona enough, I went to another doctor who bad the reputation 01 Deing tne Desc in town. He told me it was a bad case of eczema and that it would take quite a while to cure it. His medicine checked the advance of the disease but no fur ther. I finally concluded to try the Cuti cura Itemedies. I Dougnc a case 01 Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint ment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and found relief in the first trial. I con tinued until I was completely free from the disease and I have not been troubled with another attack since. I still use the Cuticura Ointment in my family as it is one of the best remedies to heal a sore or other injury rapidly. 1 can freely and truthfully say that the Cuti cura Memecues are tne oeso so nr ua my experience went with them and I am still recommending them, reeling sure 1 am not making a mistake.

Wichita again -tomorrow. One game. Then farewell to the Izzies un til 1910. The Des Moines papers speak high ly of the Topeka team. The recent additions have materially strengthen ed tne team in their estimation. Ac cording to the Capital, the addition of Jtteiuy gives Topeka one of the fast est infields in the circuit. The drafting season for the West ern league clubs opens tomorrow. Most of the clubs have some young sters in view. Manager Cooley him self will get Into the game. Judging from the way the Lincoln team ia going there will be some trou ble from that source for the Sioux City and Des Moines clubs. Lincoln will battle especially hard against Sioux City for the Links do not love Ducky Holmes one bit.,. According to the Western league averages Reilly again takes the lead with his percentage of .377. Gardner who was ahead of him has slumped away down. Bast, who played a cou ple of games with Des Moines, and was then released is the nominal leader with but a few points of ad vantage. Barngrover, who won Sunday's game from Topeka, was with Spring field in the Western association awhile two seasons ago. He was with the team on one trip to Topeka, but managed to steer clear of the Topeka batters in that series. Since John. Higgins intimated that the Des Moines club might be trans ferred to St. Joseph, the fans of that town have become real busy and are now pulling hard for the team. A committee has been appointed com posed of some of the biggest baseball bugs in the city. The chances are that the team will stick it out in the Iowa metropolis. The Topeka team returned home this morning from Des Moines, where three games were played. The team was in the- best of spirits and seemed not to worry about the recent losses which have brought the team down below the .500 mark. Des Moines Capital: "Watch me next year," was Jack Holland's fare well word to Des Moines when he left here after playing the last game of the year. I m going to have the best club in the league next year and in addi tion to this I will have one of the fin est ball grounds in the circuit." said Jack. Holland has a number of youngsters with him now who ought to be winners next year. It is on then, that he is counting for his suc cess in 1910.-' He thinks that in Has tier, Shaner and Shackleford he has a trio of the best young pitchers in the league. Holland is also very en thusiastic over' the work of Jokerst behind the bat. Ther young fellow Just Joined the Witches a month ago and during this time "has been playing ex cellent ball. While in Des Moines Jokerst has been nabbing everybody who tried to steal second and he has made a very good impression on Des Moines fans. With one or two excep tions Holland's infield is a strong one. and Jack says that he has a couple of men in sight which will make a stone wall infield. A number of business men have interested themselves in getting Wichita a down town park and next year Jack says he will have peach. It was hoped that the present pen nant race would be free from the mud j slinging which has always been a prominent feature of the Western league pennant races since Holmes en tered the league. However, from the present tone of the Sioux City papers such is not to be the case. For one who is guilty of as many unfair prac tices as is Holmes.the best plan would be to keep still. Doubtless, however, that Individual never heard of the peo ple who live in glass houses. Cole, the Wichita recruit with the White Sox. still continues to make good. This person started making gool j Just as soon as he Joined the team. He is now hitting third in the batting or der. In the double header at St. Louis Sunday with the Detroit team. Art 1 Griggs was the real slugging hero. Art was up seven times and bagged six clean hits, one a two sacker, also four stolen bases, in addition Art put up a perfect fielding game at first base. And Art by the way looks like a fixture at first. Tom Jones has gone to Detroit, and Rossman, who was secured in the trade, is at outs with the management and may never play another game. Omaha Bee: A season of harmony and good baseball in the Western league is being marred at its close by the worst sort of aslninity on the part of Sioux City. Some Journalistic par anoiac of that town has been led off into the delusion that Omaha, Des Moines and Topeka are in a conspiracy to cheat Sioux City out of the pennar.r. Whether Holmes and the other Sioux City players are afflicted by this illusion is not known; surely they could not be, and neither would this so- called sport writer if he had half th Intelligence he should have. Common sense would teach him that such a thing- is preposterous. In the first place Sioux City hasn't won any pennant.? and therefore can't be cheated out of one till it does win it. On the face of conditions Des Moines and Sioux Cliy have excellent chances of winning the flag and if there is any difference it is in favor of Des Moines, for, manifestly it has the better team of the twi. Omaha, on the other hand, still has a chance, though it is, not as good a chance as either of the other teams has. It would be senseless in Rourk, after spending the money he has spent this year to build up a championship team, to enter into combine with Des Moines to give that team the pennant when Omaha Is still in the race. Bu'. this Is about as much intelligence as this Sioux City paranoiac ever displays about anything. When you talk of combines it requires some audacity to suggest that one is being planned against Sioux City. Glenalvin. DuckyV old pal of former' years, has been um piring in Sioux City and Sioux City has been winning two a day and the teams from which they have been winning these two a day have complained of the rottenest treatment since last year when another umpire trafficked in games in favor of the same Sioux City. Acting Manager Boles of Topeka says that the treatment his team received on its last visit to Sioux City was simp'y an outrage and would never be toler- f SOLID For To be Known as National Corn Exposition, Omaha, 6 Over one hundred thousand million (100.000.000.000) ears of corn were rrawn in the United States last year. Over a billion dollars were paid for tbem. More than a million and a auarter extra dollars went into the pockets of the farmers for corn this year than they received for the previous year's crop. The reason for this may be found in the f act that the people of the United States are bear inn ins to lera how dellokma corn is and to realize its full food value. Kelloee's Toasted Corn Flakes has placed com among the indispensable items of daily fare. The makers, therefore, are interested in the development of the Kinar of Cereals, and have decided to award a beautiful trophy for the man, woman or child who can produce the best ear of corn in two different seasons. Profeaaor Holden. of the Iowa State Collegre. the .greatest authority on corn in the world, will award the prize at the National Corn Exposition, to be held at Omaha. Neb., December 6th to 18th. 1909. Two sinarle rules will covers the plan, and they are: that you send your best ear of corn to the National Corn Exposition, Omaha. Neb., before November 27. 1909; and that yon are a member of the National Corn Association. Full particulars resaraine which can be had by writing; to National Corn Exposition. Omaha. Neb.

This other umpire, who was run out nf the Paciflc Coast league for betting on games he was umpiring, is out of tho Western league for the same reason. And It is worth while noting that the only city on the circuit in which he was able to engage in this sort of buj ness was Sioux City, this same heaven ly place that now shrieks of being rob bed of the pennant. Fans were good enough last year not to say thai Holmes conspired with this umpire; and yet Sioux City was the only town where he was able to practice this business. It ill becomes Sioux City, of all cities in the league, to talk of getting pennants by other means than winning them since the history of how it received the pennant of 1908 i still so fresh in mind, But harmony exists between the Omaha management and team thi year and. so far as Omaha is concerned. if Sioux City gets the flag this year it will be by superior work.

THE TOPEKA, DAILY STATE JOUBNAL- TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1909. 3 How Wichita Secured State Fair Bates From Railroads. All of ths Roads Like te Grant a Cent a Mile Fare. STARTED WORK EARLY Bock Island, Santa Fe, Missouri Pacific and Orient in Line. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Wichita, Kan., Sept. 14. The railroad rate war for Peerless Prophets week, September 20-25, has really only Just fceeun. There now appears every line lihood that not only will all of the nulla nter!r,E- Wichita grant a fare of 1 cent a mile for all points In Kan sas within 150 miles of Wichita, but that the fight will now be ca.ried into Oklahoma to secure the advantages of the rates for that state. L. G. Mcore, manager of the Wichita rBnnnrtatinn bureau, who has been listrumental :n securing the reduced rates from the railroad yesteraay 00 of the Orient line, which has not heretofore entered into the controversy, that it wouia estab lish a low rate from Fairview, Ok., 160 mil from Wichita. Jur. moore an ticipates an announcement to this ef wt sometime before Monday night. Should the Orient offer a lower rate from points in Oklahoma the other rail rri will no doubt meet whatever fares are quoted, as they have been i,rr tn Hn in the Kansas fight. Hardly was the announcement made on Saturday, tfcat tne bania re nau granted a rate of one fare from all joints in Kansas within 150 miles of M'ir.hito than the Misrouii Pacific tele' irraphed Mr. Moore to the effect that It imiiH mpet the cut. During the alter- unnn the Rock Island line, which had remained silent before, reported to Mr. Monro rhat it h.d decided to grant a rate of one fare and a half for the Peerless Prophets week. At that time it is doubtful if the company had learned of the action of the Santa Fe end Missouri Pacific rallroaas. The reduced rates on all of the rail roads will bring hundreds or tnou Rsnrts to Wichita during the carnival, now onlv one week off. and it will afford a large majority of these persons to return to their own Homes eacn nignt. as special train arrangements have been f.ade lor their own accommodation. Should the rate war go over the boun dary into Oklahoma local officials of the railroad estimate it will bring at least 10.000 more persons here than had pre viously been figured upon. NEW SANTA FE LINE. Branch Road From San Angelo to Sterling, Texas, Is Assured. T.ns Ans-plps. Hal- Rent. 14. The Santa Fe Railway company has pur chased the new line of railway now being built from San, An gel o. Texas, to Sterling City, also the grade from Stanton to La Mesa and work of laying eteel will be begun in a short while to complete the line from San Angel o to a northern connection. This road completed, will traverse one of the finest farming countries in Texas and will be of great benefit to this entire co'-.ntry, as it will stop the long freights by wagon from a railroad point to the inland towns. SANTA FE VETERAN QUITS. Tom Rose of San Bernardino With Company 19 Years. Albuquerque, N. M., Sept. 14. Tom Rose, yardmaster at San Bernardino, and for the past nineteen years a faith ful employe of the Santa Fe company, has resigned his position and is going Into the insurance business. Rose was one of the best known men in the coast lines and the fact that he has quit the railroad will be of interest to friends here. E. O. Brown, night yardmaster at Los Angeles, succeeds him at San Bernardino. Mr. Rose first came to San Ber nardino in 1902 and within a short time was promoted to yardmaster and given the entire jurisdiction over the switching facilities. Previous to this time he had worked twelve years as yardmaster, conductor, brakeman and switchman at various places on the Santa Fe and has now many old friends among the "old timers" of the system, many of whom are occupying high official positions. In 1906-Mr. Rose waa transferred to take charge of the yard at San Diego and it was at that point .that he sprained his ankle to such an extent that it was nearly a year before he was again, able to re sume his duties, when he was trans ferred back to San Bernardino, to take charge of the enlarged yards on July 1, 1907 and Bince that time he has been continually supervising the big task of monthly switching in the neighborhood of 25,000 cars through the yards. HAS BULL GULF OUTLET? Rumored That He Will Use Frisco Line Into New Orleans. New Orleans, La., Sept. 14. Since the Frisco lines secured an entrance to this city the air has been filled with rumors concerning close work ing arrangements having been formed between them and the Hill in terests, which will give the railroad king of the northwest the gulf out let he has long wanted. It is ex pected, therefore, that now a con test begins for supremacy that will be of lively interest to railroad and business men generally. It is con sidered the opening of active war fare between the Hill and the Harri man interests controlling the South ern Pacific, which is paralleled at last through Louisiana and Texas to Houston by the Colorado Southern New Orleans Pacific. It has taken several years to achieve, but is finally accomplished and the competition involved in full operation. Those who have watched the course of events declare that the building of the Frisco into. New Orleans was a coup executed by the Hill interests to punish Harriman and his friends for having wrested the control of the Illinois Central from Stuyvesant Fish, a Hill as sociate, and thus for some time pre vented the Hill lines from having an adequate entrance into New Orleans. Now the Frisco has forced its way into the field and the results are being watched with great eagerness, not only by local railroad officials, but by the entire railroad and financial world. It is generally thought locally that rate wars may result on account of the clashing of the interests of the financial giants. Heretofore the Harriman lines have had things all their own way throughout Louisiana and Texas. It is alleged thev have forced long hauls of freight, because there was no competition, and kept the rates up to the highest margin. The entrance of a competitor is not relished, and, according to common report, there is bound to be a series or interesting denouements before the first stages of the changed situation are thoroughly thrashed out Towns which have hitherto been dependent upon the Harriman lines will look to the Hill Interests to give them re lief, and it is stated that broad promises have been, made that their wishes will be heeded. KENSINGTON, KAN. This ThriTina: Little 1 Town Is Proving Its Worth. Burned District Is Rebuilt With Improved Business Houses. CROPS NOT A FAILURE There Are Both Wheat and Corn in This Locality. Farmers Are Prosperous and Glad to Stay. In NEW KATY TERMINALS. Road Will Spend Four Millions Yards at St. "Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 14. The M. K. T. railroad will expend four million dollars for freight terminals in this city, according to the report of Pres ident A. H. Joline, to the board of di rectors of the company, who met here yesterday. Two hundred- acres or land ana a site for freight warehouses have been acquired in the heart of the business district, work on the new terminals will begin at once. BREWERS ARE IN CONVENTION. President Russert Urges Fight to Finish on "Temperance Fanatics." Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 14. Business sessions of. the United States Brewmasters association be gan at the German house with the address of President Russert. Con cerning the spread of the tem perance movement. President Rus sert said in his address: You have all noticed that the prohibition movement has gained considerably in some localities even though it has been possible to ar rest the movement in other places. It is just in such places that the ar rest has been brought about by inti mate, firm co-operation and en abled us effectually to beat the tem perance fanatics and bring to naught their efforts which threaten our in dustry and our personal liberty. Every means should De used to ngnt these foes of our trade, and I expect the convention will pass resolutions to this effect." Folks Differ in Taste But moat particular people agree that the flavour of Post l oasties Kensington, Kan., Sept. 14. A To pekan, who visited Kensington, during the two days' i carnival, alomst con cluded the town had appropriated the Topeka business motto, for every man, woman and child there wore cards reading: "Kensington Kan; Kensing ton Will.' A noticeable feature of the town in the improvement in the way of build ings which have been erected this year, and more are to follow. These stone and brick buildings take the place of the frame which were burn ed several months ago. No less than half a dozen substantial business houses have been completed at a cost of $1,000 to $5,000. The Kensingtonites stand uj and pull for their town. They voted $20, 0000 waterwords bonds, and they are going to get a good system. There is not a dollar's worth of debt outstand ing, and the city treasury has $2,000 on hand. The last census shows a gain of about 35 in her population. As one of the business men said: Our citizens are all rustlers, and the bus! ness men offer many inducements to ner trade territory. fepeaking for the crops, one of the former farmers of Smith county and now a business man of Kensington, says: "The corn crop in this vicinity outside of the hail district will run from 15 to 20 bushels an acre, while wheat is threshing from 5 to 2 0 bush els an acre. Our farmers are finan cially well fixed, and none of them are elaving to better their conditions, Lands are worth from $40 to $65 an acre, and good alfalfa lands are bring ing $75 to $100 per acre." Peter Pyle, present members of the legislature from Smith county, built the first house on the townsite of Ken sington more than 22 years ago, and commenced feeding the hungry as the town started up.- Today there are close to 700 inhabitants, and bids fair to continue her prosperity in building and grow in population. The town and country supports two banks, a newspaper and a first class flouring mill. Two extensive lumber vards are well Datronized. Her mer chants, too, have a pleasing lacuity or living and letting thier competitors share it with them. There is a lively competition among them, but not on the rule and ruin policy. Kensington will crow because the town has tne country to make it. There is wealth in the soil, in her business houses and in her. many fine modern residences. RAIN ON HUTCHINSON FAIR. The Races on First Day Were Called Off. Hutchinson, Kan., Sept. 14. Rain marred the first day s schedule of rac lng at the fair. Early in the morning a drizzle commenced which continued at intervals throughout the day. At noon races for the day were called off. There was a large attendance despite the bad weather. The State Agricultural college has an exhibit of registered cattle on ex hlbjtion. The manual training depart ment of the reformatory also has an exhibit. This is the last year the fair is to be held on the present grounds, much larger grounds now being fitted up. The numDer or visitors waa can mated at 8.000. The managers of the fair are pleased with the special rate of one cent a mile which is being made this week hv the railroads entering Hutcnmson. It is believed it will result in a greatly increased attendance. The manage ment is gratified because the low rate gives the Hutchinson fair a big ad vantage over the Topeka fair. The Santa Fe railway is taking all the credit for Dutting in the low rate to Hutchinson. The agent of the Santa Fe savs that his road was tne nrst to offer the rate of one cent a mile, and that the Rock Island was then com pelled to make a similar reduction. The Santa Fe 1 is advertising the re duced rate extensively. KILLED CHILD IN ARMS. distinguishes them from all other flaked foods. With sliced peaches, cream and sugar a treat worth trying.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has dis covered the real answer to the old, old 'question, "What is an optimist?" The Inquirer says: "An optimist is one who believes everytihng said by both Cook and Peary.'

And this demand Is a most reasonable one. Calling attention to the fact that government experts estimate that there is enough coal in the United States to last 7,310 years, the New York Eveniflg Mall says' that "orders for delivery after the expiration of that period are rejected by all responsible dealers."

A friendly tip to Sir Tom would :2e in the nature of an admonition that ;lie is merely paving the way for the wasting of a lot of money. Perhaps, though, he feels that the wares he trades in and the Llpton- name are In need of a little more advertising. The recent rains, which were pretty general throughout the state, were a trifle late to help out the corn crop but they have put the ground in excel lent condition for fall plowing and wheat sowing. Advantage of this should be taken by the farmers. They thould increase their wheat acreage considerably and lay the foundation for a wheat crop next year that will beat ell records. That new labor agreement in Ger many whereby a man can quit work any time he pleases without giving iiotice to hi? employer and can be dis charged by the latter under similar cir cumstances, does not appear to have R:uch to recommend it... On the other hand it would seem that it will work to the decided disadvantage of both sides. But then they are ever doing things in peculiar ways in Germany. The painful predicament of the Leav enworth Post is becoming more appar ent every day. With the one issue, down with Anthony," Albert T.

A li-rge an ti-Anthony faction in Leaven worth county depends upon tho Leav enworth Post to' help beat Anthony. The Post doesn't like Brother Anthony sv little bit, but to work for his defeat It will have to boost Tom McNeal and the Stubbs crowd In general. And so to help either of the contestants for congress in, the coming struggle would be a bitter pill. On this question at the present time The Po3t is giving a good imitation of a cat walking a high tight wire. All of this goea to show that the newspaper which digs deep Into partisan and personal politics has a row to hoe that makes it difficult to maintain Ita equilibrium at all times. THE LAW'S HEAVY HAND. "When upon thy frame the law Places its majestic paw, Tho' in Innocence or guilt. Thou art then required to wilt." Eugene "Ware wrote the above verse over twenty years ago as a commen tary on the deciison of the Kansas su preme court in the case of Lewis vs. the State, appealed from Bourbon county. Then he went on to write the entire opinion in that remarkable case in verse. Lewis had been arrested and placed in Jail charged with a vio lation of the law. He escaped from Jail before his trial but was captured by the sheriff. When tried for his al leged crime he was acquitted by the Jury. Then he was arraigned for the offense of escaping from jail and con victed. He appealed to the supreme court but that august body affirmed the strange decision of the lower court and he was sent to the penitentiary. Ware lived at Fort Scott at that time and published his poem in the Moni tor. It can now.be found in the Nine teenth Kansas Reports as a foot note to the decision in this famous case. The escape of F. D. Agner from the Shawnee county jail the other day may result in another Lewis case for the courts. Agner, however, returned to jail of his own accord, as he said he would in ty letter he left for the shreiff. Agner, like Lewis, is practical ly admitted to be innocent of the crime for which he was arrested, but may have to answer to the law tor his in difference to its majesty. "Then the court met and they tried "Lewis up and down each side. On the good old fashioned plan. But the jury cleared the man. "Now you think that this strange case Ends at Just about this place. Nay, not so. Again the law On defendant placed its paw. "This time takes him 'round the cape For effecting his escape. He, unable to give bail. Goes reluctantly to Jail." Lewis feelings can onlv be guessed when he is brought to face this fresh fe 1101 c u ilia ucieiisg, tts BCCll through the eyes of Mr. Ware: "Lewis, tried for this last act. Makes a special plea of faot: "Wrongly did they me arrest, "As my trial did attest. "And while rightfully at large, "Taken on a wrongful charge, "I took back from them what they "From me wrongly took away." The logic of this defense would have been irresistable to any one but a judge of the supreme court. It would have melted the heart of a heathen idol, but the county attorney was a man of brass, utterly devoid of sentiment. He argued in this wise: "When the padlock and the hasp Leaves one helpless in our grasp. It's unlawful then that he Even dreams of liberty." This verse above is a gem of Irony and alone should save Agner from a second miscarrage of justice. The su preme court of the year 1887, how ever, saw nothing but their books of law and closed their eyes and ears to all else in this big old world. Here is' their verdict: "We don't make law. We are bound "To interpret it as found. The defendant broke way. When arrested he should stay." The poem, appearing in the statutes in connection with the decision, should act as an. antidote to the severity and narrowness of the law as laid down in this case. If Lewis should have been set free, then doubly should Agner be left to go to his wife and family, for he came back to the Jail of his own accord, while Lewis was captured by an offi cer while in his mad career of free dom. Agner's case is even more re markable than the Lewis case. Agner was arrested on charge of counterfeit ing, when in reality he had only made a lead dollar for his baby to play with and then later Jokingly showed the crude piece of work to friends. He was arrested and placed in the Shawnee county jail. He picked his cell lock with a spoon and escaped, leaving a note behind In which he de clared that he would come back as son as hehad seen his wife and baby. He came back the other day and gave himself into custody. The law has had its paw on Agnew long enough. It would seem to be persecution To try him on a charge. Of being rightfully at large. GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION. Des Moines success with the com mission form of government is get ting to be an old story. That's why it is such a good one to tell over and over again. It ought to be particularly Interesting to Topekans because of the fact that they will be going to the polls before long to decide, by their votes whether, or not this city shall undertake to conduct its affairs under this method of modern muni cipal rule; and especially when it is told In such a concise and forcible way as it is In an editorial in The World's Work for September, as fol lows: "More than a year ago the citizens of Des Moines, headed by a group of young business men. retired the pro fessional politicians from their city government and placed all the power in the hands of five men, along with a corresponding responsibility. This is city government by an elected com mission the Galveston plan. One of these men had been twice electee! mayor under the old regime; the "sec ond had made a good record in the office of assessor; the third was a journeyman painter; the fourth had been a coal miner and a deputy sheriff. The fifth, the mayor had been a real estate man and a police judge.. "Instead of all five being made re sponsible for all departments of gov ernment, the city's work was divided and every member of the. commission had a definite Job which he could not smit 10 another s shoulders ana which none of' the others could inter fere with. The essential feature of the new system was 'centralization of power with a definite responsibility.' As a check upon the possible abuse of power, the people retained the right of initiative, referendum, and recall a right which they have not yet had occasion to exercise. "The concrete result of the first year's experiment, as expressed by the report of the city auditor, is the- sav ing of nearly $200,000 in municipal expense. Moreover, every department kept its expenditures within the amount designated in the budget and this is said to be the third time in the history of les Moines that this nas nappenea. "However, the citizens are not mak ing any great ado over the $200,000 saved; indeed, they would not have made an outcry if the expenses had been that much in excess of those of the previous year. What pleases them most of all Is the lnorease in efficiency, the elimination of graft, the pressure applied to contractors whose work fell short of the specifications. Des Moines is- a cleaner, brighter city I to live and do one's work in and this fact far outshadows the lesser fact that its' government is at the same time cheaper.- In fact, every where this Galveston plan has had a trial it has succeeded. JOVRIUL ENTRIES "Many persons are against' things for no beter reason than "Just be cause." Too many folks size up other peo ple according to their own undesir able make-up. The individuals who spend money before they get it have an important lesson to learn and it will be a severe one. A good deal of the stuff which passes for poetry these days is worse than the worst of that which travels under the guise of prose. After the average woman gets a dress or a hat or anything else, for that matter, she thinks she would like it considerably better if it were dif ferent in every essential particular.

One McCracken girl not only has a cold heart, but she is cruel and unfeel irg, says the Hays City Free Press. After bestowing on her honey-boy. at the Hays carnival, the Decorations of the Can, she sent him recently as a birthday present a copy of Paradise Lost. It might be remarked further that this young lady has something of an opinion of herself. The following Is taken from the lead editorial in the Cherryvale Re publican: "Picked for their spritely gracefulness as dangers, to say noth ing of their trained voices, the sweet sixteen dancing girls of the $10,000 Beauty company, which appears at the opera house Tuesday night, are given many opportunities to dislpay their versatility and talent."

We have observed, also, that a sick man rarely survives an oxygen tank. If you think a man has no troubles, it is because you have given him no chance to tell them. Never permit yourself to reach that stage where your entire happiness de pends upon one person. We have observed that when the doctor begins to issue bulletins, the un dertaker begins to take notice. A man can't talk back when a wo man abuses him, but he does some thing which is worse; he remembers.

A woman might as well propose, for after she has been married eight or ten years, her husband says she did, ary way. If you will look over your faults care fully, you will find that carelessness causes you more worry and loss than any other.

KANSAS COMMENT NOT GOOD FOB MOSQUITOES. The Kansas mosquito is now, in blos som, and as usual is proving hmiseir somewhat of a 'night-blooming cereus. The Eagle has made a formal aid scientific test of the following pre ventives and can say authoritiveiy that they do not work: Pennyroyal; kerosene rags; fresh liver; cantaloupe; fly-paper and sulphur. There are sev eral theories In regard to the presence of the Kansas mosquito, all of them decidedly dubious. One school holds that the mosquito goes wholly ny scent and finds his victim by the bod ily odor of said victim. It is this school which setB-out kerosene ana omer jjuh gent articles with the idea of confusing the insect. It doesn't work, ins aver age mosquito can sail through a Stand ard Oil refinery and light on a man who has Just taken a bath In Florida water with the directness of a Krag-Jorgen-sen steel-tipped bullet. Another school holds that the mosquito Is completely carnivorous and oja.n be fooled by be ing tempted away from human kind by Hetrlna- forth a dish or rresn can a iivei. This will not work, either. Any adult mosquito will pass up dead liver for anything that haa life in it. The same thing holds good In regard to canta- loupe. So far as sulphur is concerneu it appears merely to whet up a mos quito's appetite for blood, giv ng Diauancv to the di9t. and adding to his pumping powers. The fact is that tho mosquito who doesn't seem to have any room for it, has a brain ana or. tne animal kingdom, is the most difficult of all to fool. He is after one thing human blood, and if it is in reach, :ie will est It. There la only one way w-.tn the mosquito, that is to get a wet towel and go after him ana wnen you nna him. swat. You will not get him the first nieht. or possibly the second, but If you will keep at It, you win nnanv catch him off his guard. It is the oily way. Wichita iuagle. WHERE TTTT?RE IS LAND.

Which was exaggeration, but it is a reminder that this has ceased to be a land of free homesteads, or even of cheap farming land of good quality But It was an exaggeration in othtr ways. There are a half dozen or mo places where good land can be secu -ea in large quantities, either free, or at a nominal price. But distance and lack of market facilities make it less valu able than Its fertility suggests. It is Interesting to note In this connection that three of these open territories are under the British flag. Australia, with 5,000,000 people in a land the size of th,s, has land to give away, and even offers to pay hair the fare of desirable immi grants. Canada may be rated as sec ond, and its proximity makes an ap peal to Americans. There are also few people in South Africa, and a lot of land, some of It desirable. There also is a dearth of railroads. And the same rule applies to Brazil, except that its climate is less desirable.

The theory of socialism as applied in practice has received a signal re buff in New Zealand. The purpose there was to have the government provide work for" all wage-earners who could not find private employ ment. Accordingly, the state has hir ed surplus labor in building govern ment railways, opening and farm ing public lands and in other public works. But in the meantime the pub lic revenues have decreased and the funds available for the distribution of wages have dropped this year from $12,000,000 to $7,000,000. Simultan eously the funds at- hand for all other departments of the Insular govern ment have decreased. The situation has become such that one-seventh of the population fo New Zealand is de pendent upon the state for work. Hence suddenly it has become pre eminently a land of the unemployed. Perhaps it is not surprising that the remedy proposed for this collapse of socialism is that It be bolstered by more socialism. That would be a po litical application of homeopathy to the state that fares 111. It is now pro posed that the government shall in sure against nonemployment; in other words, that It shall provide a pension for those out of work. It may be asf sumed that this is the deliberately chosen policy of the government, since the plan is advocated by the minister of finance. Washington Herald. A BANKRUPT POET. Judging from a dispatch from Lon don the modern poet is but little bet ter off than his predecessor of the early, days when devotees of the muse wrote in attics and lived on crusts. Stephen Phillips is undoubtedly one of the leading dramatic poets today. He has done some great work that will live in the future. Some critics. Indeed, have hinted, at a Shakespear ean classification. His muse Is strictly classical and he panders not to the popular taste. He .remains upon. his Olympian heights and from thence he sends forth his poems and dramas to delight the souls of those attuned to the finer vibrations. But the book sellers' accounts do" not. disclose a large demand for Phillips' wo$ks. He never gets among the "six best sell ers." Posibly he is pleased to remain Influences of the period, but art on a high plane is often accompanied by embarrassments, and landlords do not willingly take their rent In mad rigals nor grocers their pay in son nets. As result of this rude indif ference to the poet's qualities as a contributor to the ethical develop ment of the period certain impatient people have recently cited Mr. Phil lips for a failure to meet his little ob ligations, and bankruptcy proceedings have been instituted, a fact in itself sufficiently embarrassing.but not all that has come to vex- the soul of the poet. He was to have attended a pub lic examination in the bankruptcy court the other day, but failed to put in appearance, and his absence was officially explained as being due to the entirely logical fact that Mr. Phil lips, being a bankrupt, lacked the price to buy a railroad ticket from his home in Brighton to the capital.

Bret Harte, (written Just before his death.) Japanese Finances. So much' time has now elapsed since the peace of Portsmouth that the gov ernment finances of Japan, and also the industries and commerce of that empire, -may be regarded as once more on a normal-basis and as subject to only the ordinary influences of the world at large. The showing which is made in the "Ninth Financial and Economical Annual of Japan" Is there fore particularly instructive as a revelation of the real condi tio) of that country and as a basis for some forecast of its econo mic future. There can be no doubt that the war with Russia- imposed a very great strain upon Japan. Indeed, theTe are those who have said that tne strain could not much longer have been borne, so that the American in tervention of peacemaking proposals VS welcomed by .Ti.pan as affording relief and escape from embarrassment which was daily approximating dis aster, and those have added that now, since the conclusion of peace without the large cash Indemnity which Japan desired, .the 'island em pire remains in serious straits. If this view of the case were correct as we are by no means persuaded we should have to credit Japan with a degree of recuperative power unrivaled in the history of the world.' For this very elaborate and detailed report of Marquis Katsura's makes it quite evident that last year Japan was not only solvent, but also pros perous to a degree which not a few other nations might well envy. It was, of course, a year of general depres sion throughout the world, and of some disaster. It was a year of budget de ficits, of diminished commerce, of bor rowing and of fiscal stringency. Im ports from nearly all countries showed a slight decline; but the net indica tion of the statistics of commerce is that Jaoan fared as well as other countries and better than some of them. The average prices of commodities of all kinds, as well as of securities, had a downward tendency. But-to this rule there was one very marked ex ception, in the deposits .'n the postofflce savings banks. These in 1908 were more than $45,000,000, for the first time on record exceeding the $40,000, 000 mark, while in 1909 they have leaped further, to more than $52,500, 000. These deposits are made by 9, 502,050 depositors, or nearly twice as many as there were in 190 3. In a per iod of general commercial and finan cial depression, therefore, while Japan has suffered in common with the rest of the world, the savings and wealth of the people have been increasing at an unprecedented rate. That is a re markable testimony to the energy and thrift of the Japanese, and a pretty convincing promise of that nation's continued solvency and increasing prosperity. New York Tribune. Auto Industry Growing. There is no business "in the world quite so profitable as the manufacture of automobiles. Detroit has had abun ant evidence of that within the past 48' hours. The Cadillac Motor Car Cmopany has just sold out to the Gen eral Motors Company for $4,500,000. That is ostensibly a profit of about 200 per cent on the present capitaliza tion. As a matter of fact, it is vastly more on the entire investment. Past didviends, huge ones, are not figured in rfiat. It enabled the eleven stock holders to clear from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000 apiece, in proportion to their holdings. That is bounding to ward affluence, surely. Detroit has had other conclusive ev dence within the past six months of the astounding profit in automobile mak ing. The E.-M.-F.

T once came upon several squirrels In a wood feasting on the fragments left of a large picnic party. They had gorged themselves so much that I could easily have caught them as they flopped up the trees nearest. They looked as though they had been finish ing the dregs of the beer bottles, as well as eating the cakes and other things Scotsman j TEE EVENING ST0RY j Seeking tbe Cause. (By Richard Barker Shelton.) Bobby Ren wick, dictating some Im portant letters to his stenographer, glanced abstractedly at the handful of mail the office boy laid on the desk before him. Among the envelopes he caught eight of one that he hurriedly separated from its fellows, and, with quickening pulses, glanced at the su perscription in a firm, familiar hand. "E1, JBt a minute. Miss Stone," said he, opening the envelope and drawing out its contents. The stenographer sat tapping her pencil upon the pad in her lap, while Renwick, his brows suddenly pucker ing in a frown, read the brief missive he held in a hand that was rather un steady. The epistle ran: "Dear Bobby It Is impossible Impossible; a mistake from the very beginning. We can't we mustn't; I am afraid, and terribly wretched. I don't know how I can ever make you see it in the right light. I only know that our plans are very, very foolish and that we must never think of them again. "We are sailing this afternoon on the Avonia for two months on the continent. Please forgive me, and above all things do not write to me. Tours, ELINOR." For a moment Bobby sat like a man stunned by some crushing blow, his eyes staring straight ahead and the letter crumpled in his hand. Then suddenly he swung about to his desk swung his chair so violently that the stenographer jumped nervously and dropped her pencil. She picked it up hurriedly, smooth ed the paper of the pad and turned alertly to Renwick as if expecting him vi uuiuiuuo me dictation, ijut Bob by Renwick was' rummaging through the pigeon, holes of the desk, throw ing things right and left in a veritable frenzy of haste. The stenographer looked at him with a puzzled frown. Ordinarily he was the calmest of mor tals, and this unaccountable flurry of his upset all her preconceived ideas of the man. "The letter I was taking. Mr. Ren wick." she suggested tentatively. "Letter?" Bobby repeated, "letter? Oh. yes. Never mind it now. Morse will finish 'em up. Tell him I say for him to look after the matter as best he can; and say, send Hardin in. will you, please. Send him in immediately, if you will." The stenographer, her bewilderment increased perceptibly, hurried into the outer office to deliver the message. A moment later Harding pushed through the door of Renwick's pri vate office and stood staring at the man before the desk. "Bobby, old boy, what's up?" he asked anxiously. "What's wrong with you?" "Eh?" said Bobby without looking up. "Say, what time does the Avonia sail this afternoon? Do you know?" He shot out the question in a fash ion that seemed to hint that If the man before him was unable to an swer the question it might go hard with him. "Four o'clock, I believe," said Harding. Renwick glanced at the clock on the wall and jumped to his feet so quickly that his desk overturned with a crash. "Four o'clock!" Bobby fairly howl ed. "Don t tell me that! It s ten min utes of four now! Say, something's got-to be done! Send Jim down for a cab. Tell him if it isn't at the curb by the time I get down his life won't be worth three cents. Harding gave one perturbed glance at his partner, started to remonstrate, thought better of it and tumbled headlong through the door, bellowing lustily for the office boy. Bobby, meanwhile caught up his hat and his overcoat, tore through the other of fice and sped down the long corridor toward the elevator. At his heels, panting and sadly disturbed, came Harding. "Say, what's the row anyway?" he demanded "Where are you going in all this rush, Bobby?" The elevator came whirring up. Bobby jumped into it. "Don't know yet where I may land," he called as the descent began. "Europe, maybe." The cab Jim had summoned was Just drawing up to the curb as Renwick rushed from the building. 'Pier 76! he bellowed at the cabby as he tumbled in. "Let the beast out. I'll make It well worth your while." They reached the pier after a mad gallop. On the wharf was a scatter ing crowd, and out In the stream tne Avonia was making her way majestic ally toward the bay. Bobby groaned. Then his eyes lea on a tug moorea to the wharf. Thither he sped, a rew words to the red-faced man leaning out of her pilot house window; a dis play of greenbacks on Bobby's part and the latter leaped aboard and the tug went speeding after the departing liner. Down the bay went the liner, and after her at full speed raced the tug, kicking up a great commotion In her wake. As thty neared the Avonia the tug's whistle began to scream: the liner's whi3tle ar.swered with deep-throated brays. Closer drew the tug and over the liner's side was dropped the dang ling length of the Jacob's ladder at the top of which a crowd of excited passengers watched the oncoming tug. Presently they were alongside. Ren wick caught the ladder and scrambled vp to the liner's deck. "Good work!" a big man, who had been leaning excitedly over the rail declared heartily as Bobby reached the Avonia's deck. Bobby said nothing. He caught sight of a pretty girl on the outskirts of the watching group, .-nd in a most deter mined fasnion made his way straight to her ride. Her lips were parted; a tcautiful color was in her cheeks. Bobby lifted his hat. said something to her in a low voice and in a master ful fashion, lead her away. No other word passed between them vntll they found a quiet nook to them-; selves far aft. Then the girl turned to him. "Well?" the said quietly. "I got your letter," said Bobby. She was silent. "That is why I am here," he went on. Still she said nothing. "I'm mighty sorry to have to make mv entrance in so spectacular a fash ion, but there was really no other way." said he. 'Why was It so very necessary for you to come at all?" Bobby noticed that her eyes refused to meet, his. own. Somehow he was decidedly glad of this. "Why?" he echoed. -"Good heavens, Elinor, what is the sense of your ask ing why? Did you imagine for a min ute I would let you go like that? Did you think I would sit calmly by and accept it all without a murmur?'? He came a step nearer. He noticed sbe was trembling. "I came for good and specific rea son," he went" on gently.- "I came to let you teli me that the only mistake in the whele thing was that letter you wrote me; that you didn't mean- It; I ot f wrd of It? that you didn't writ 11 your own free wm nd volitionf that outside lnfluenco was brought t .P upon you- Tel1 m hat.

"You are making it a suppositional case," said he. "Why not make H a plain, bald acatement?" There was something like a sob. "I I can't." she faltered. A great light came Into Bobby Ren wick's ye.

If you want an encore don't sing your own praise. Every man should have some regard for his good opinion of himself. When a fellow is afraid to think for himself it's time for him to get mar ried. When a man admires a woman she always in turn admires him for his good taste. A nervous woman can be relied upon to solve the problem of perpetual emotion. Don't overestimate your capacity, especially when you are looking for trouble. Don't nurse a disappointment unless you expect it to grow and stay wit you for life. Many a fellow has jumped from the frying pan into the fire under the im pression that the fire was out. "There is plenty of room at the' top," quoted the Wise Guy.

Never too Busy to Answer Questions UNITED DOCTORS PERMANENTLY Have Long Time Lease on 2nd and 3rd Floors of the Building at 610 Kansas Avenue. EXAMINATION IS FREE Doctors Are in Their Offices Every Day From 9 a. m. Un til 8 p. m. The United Doctors are permanent ly established in Topeka, having exe cuted a long-time lease on the second and third floors of the building at 610 Kansas avenue. At this location will always be found a staff of these fa mous specialists who have marked a new era in medicine Dy me wonaenui cures they have made, not only in their Eastern institutes, but also in the west. This United Doctors lnsti tute is not here for a week or a month, but. is permanently located for all time. tia United Doctors are also perma Tientlv established in the hearts of those who know of the great work they are doing in healing the sick and afflicted. Not a day but what from one to a score of testimonials are add- od to their files. John P. Russell, a prominent far mer living near Falls City, writes: "God bless you, doctors you have cured my wife. The doctors operated on her for appendicitis, Tut didn't help her. She kept right on getting worse. I had given her up to die, but you said it wasn't appendicits at all. but gall stones, and she is getting well fast. She has no pains at all now. Be fore you treated her she used lots of morphine, now she don't use any. I only wish I had found you before the other doctors mutilated her.' Similar testimonials are coming all the time. Their rooms are crowded. A person outside of the profession wonders where all the sick people come from. But one sick person tells another. A man from Oklahoma said: "I had been doctoring with the differ ent doctors of our town. One would say I had one thing, another some thing else, till I had nearly given up finding out what was the matter or getting any relief, till one of my neighbors told me of the United Doc tors. My family insisted on my bring ing someone with me to take care of me. He only stayed a short time. I felt so much better that I could take care of myself, and I am going home now and go to work on my farm. I tell you, these United Doctors can't be beat." The United Doctors' institute at 610 Kansas avenue is open every day and ei-ening.

Financial Affairs of Albert Sarbach Will Be Straightened Oat. Holton, Kan., Sept. 14. The body of Albert Sarbach, of this city who committed suicide in Kansas City Monday, was brought to Holton this morning. The remains will, however, be buried in the Jewish cemetery at Leavenworth, according to the funer al arrangements which have been completed. While financial embarrassment is generally accepted here as the cause of his suicide, no light has been shed on his financial condition as yet. It is known that he was badly involved. He was, however, insured for $40.- 000 and this amount will be used in straightening out his debts. It is thought that all the debts left by Mr. Sarbach will be liquidated. His broth er, Max Sarbach, who is in business here and who was in partnership with the dead man, will look after the af fairs of the estate. A brother-in-law in Lincoln, Neb., who is reputed as a wealthy man has offered all the fin ancial assistance needed in straight ening the affairs of the estate. The mercantile firm of L. Sarbach Sons of which Albert Sarbach was the Junior member, will not be se riously affected by the death of Mr. Sarbach. Max Sarbach, as executor will look after the details, and it is thought that sufficient funds had been left for this purpose by the de ceased member of the firm. Mr. Sarbach's self-wrought death has deeply affected his relatives here. Max Sarbach is suffering from ner vous prostration and there are grave doubts of his being able to withstand the shock. A nervous breakdown is feared by his friends. Mr. Sarbach had some resources in I .Kansas City. He had been engaged in grain-buying there for several months, and reports received here in dicate that he had as much as 25,000 bushels of wheat on hand. The Masons will have charge of the funeral in Leavenworth. Mr. Sarbach was treasurer of this organization and handled the funds of the lodge at an interest of three per cent. The Masons, however, are protected by a heavy bond, but the estate it is thought will be able to make restitu tion without calling on the bondsmen. Among the effects found on the person of Albert Sarbach after his death, was the fol'owing last will and testament, which was dated at Hol ton, April 20, and which was written on an ordinary piece of writing pa per. There were no witnesses to the will. The following is the will of Mr. Sarbach: Holton, Kan., April 20. This, my last will and testament. I herewith appoint my brother. Max Sarbach, ex ecutor of this, my last will and testa ment, to serve without bond and with out accounting to the court in anv way, shape or form. I desire that all my debts be paid and that my estate ne divided by giving to mv brother Max Sarbach, $10,000. and the bal ance be divided equally between my sister and brother, and that the busi ness shall continue as it is for five years and then be divided equally be tween my sisters ana brothers. Relatives surviving Mr. Sarbach are: Max Sarbach. brother: Miss Car rie Sarbach, Mrs. Sarah Lehman. Mrs. Rachel Fist and Mrs. Amelia Friend! Mrs. Friend lives in Nebraska.

CONTESTS EXCITING The Lawrence Man Carried Off the Honors. Twenty-Vive Mile Kace Was Especially Thrilling. There is a big fight in motor cycle circles today. At the races during the opening of the fair Monday Ralph Cooper of Topeka and Dell Morrison of Lawrence tied for first honors. Cooper took three firsts and Morrison took three firsts. The last race 25 miles has not been decided. Morri son came in almost two seconds ahead of Cooper but the judges disqualified him, saying that he looked back. Mor rison is an honest, hard working and steady driver' and he has appealed the disqualification. Now it has developed that Cooper also looked back. Elliott, the classy driver who entered most of the races, says emphatically that Cooper looked DacK at him during the race ana beckoned him ahead. Others in the race say the same thing. The board of judges will decide to night who is entitled to this race Morrison or Cooper. The winner of this race""will be the winner of a ma jority of the first prizes given and thus the hero of the day. Morrison won the state amateur championship on a ten mile clip. The pop pop motorcycle races at the big half mile track the first day of the state wide fair were good enougn to have been placed on at a batter day. The entries were classical, the ma chines were in excellent condition, the faces were close and hair raising and although the time was not record breaking, it was fast enough to make many a person in the grandstand hold his breath as the racers rounded the corners and brushed their shirt sleeves against the fence. Dell Morrison of Lawrence was the real rider of the day. He is steady, never skids, starts out ahead of them all and keeps up a pace on the curves as well as on the straight stretcn. He doubles his body into an acrobatic ball and rests his chin on the handle bars His fast little machine works without a jump and every adjustment is per fect. Together with consideraDie -ex perience Morrison, although only a young fellow, is able to capture all state and even honors. At the races during the opening of the fair Morrison won the amateur championship of the state, the best mile, against time, and the first five mile event. Cooper of Topeka took a close second honors, winning most of the other races. Cooper is a young lad and with a good machine for all races he would have made some rec ords yesterday. He changed machines in almost every race and the variety of the power and the shifting of the han dle vars caused him to do considerable skidding at dangerous times. The 25 Mile Race. Probably the greatest race of the day was the final of the day the 25 mile or fifty laps around the race track. This is a long distance and as a general rule leaves a crowd pretty restless before the race is over. But the twenty-five mile event Monday kept the crowd on its toes for the whole thirty-five minutes of its exist ence. Four machines started at the crack of the pistol. Dell Morrison in his Indian, Court Elliott in his 3 In dian, Ralph Cooper on a machine be longing to J. M. Meir, a Thor 6, and W. E. Janicke in an Indian 5. Mor rison jumped in the lead with his ma chine sparking before any of the other racers. Cooper came right behind him closely followed by Elliott and Janicke. For five miles, or ten laps, these four races tore around the race track and each held the same position as at the start. They were making mighty fast time and the creeping of first one and then another upon the man ahead kept the crowd wild. On the first lap of" the sixth mile Janicke dropped out. His bike was not work ing right and he realized it as soon as he made the first turn being overlap ped. For five more miles the other three air cutters tore around the track, first skidding and throwing the dust all over their machines and again hug ging the white fence at the curves. Finally Morrison, closely followed by Cooper, overlapped Elliott at the tenth mile post and Elliott was out of the running for first honors. I Then the real fight for first place be gan. Morrison was at least a quarter of a lap ahead of Cooper when- the last half of the race began. Cooper had teen wobbling badly at the first turn and was not able to keep out of the deep dust on the edge of the track at his place. At times when it looked as though he had made the first curve in fine sha-e he would swerve out into the dust, Ms handle barj wobbied and at times it looked as though he would fly off from the right of way. But it only took about three miles to calm the plucky rlaer down. He seemed to realize that he was losing time and hugging the fence a little tighter he dodged the dust holes. On the straight laps hi.j machine crawled upon Morri sen and as soon as he took the corners better he began to eat Morrison dust and smell l is garoline. At the thirtieth lap the race was nerve racking. Both men were using every bit of speed in their little pops and their turns and dashes past the grandstand were mar velous. Coming arounc. the second turn the track made it necessary for them to lean at a dangerous angle but the tires stood th-2 racket. To make a long series of hair raising and nervous ovent into a short story Morrison won the race as far as shov iiig his machine over tne line, morn sen had looked back during the latter part of the race and he was ruled out for this reason. The last lap made the crowd crazy Cooper gradually climbed upon his rival all around the course and came in Just a few lengths behind. The crowd was with Cooper during th9 whole race but the general opinion at such a rato he should have won the race. But it was against the rules and Cooper may be the victor. The Ten Mile Race. The ten mile state championship race v.as als- of the. nervous variety. Mor rison with his ever steady hand and the easy hum of his machine under perfect conditioi.s won this rather easily. In fact the crowd left him out of their Interest, keeping their eyes on Elliott who started in the race next to last on the very last lap won over Janicke for second place. Elliott is a riiitifui r)dr. Hp was flreswl fnilt-1 lesly. and his. machine is a pretty piece or machii.ery. tie rides more evenly than Morrison ard IJeeps always within a few feet of the fence. He is too cool and collected f Jr the average rider, however. He shifts the position of his feet with the ease of a parlor visi tor and spends most' of Ms time spit ting on the gasoline can. If there had teen a beauty show in connection yes terday, Elliott would have carried oft the honors. Best time. 35:36. The first event of the day was the five mile race. Morrison won this hand ily, doing the five miles in eight min utes and ten seconds. Court Eillott finished second in this race, winning over Cooper in the last lap. Cooper s-howed great form in this race and from the start was picked as the win- rer. Janicke cropped out when tne race was half over. His machine was not feeding right and he got a bad start. The second event was a five mile belt drive. Cooper won this event also. El liott and Shaeffer came up in order. Cooper was ahead at all times ana JSt liott won his race on the last lap, Elliott was neat on spurts. The third event one mile against time was not marked by any exciting features. Morrison won. making the mile in 1:25 -3-5. He was steady tbrougnoir. and from the grandstand his raco was won from the first. Coop er came only two seconds behind, rcak ing the mile in l:Zl 1-5. Janicke went the two laDS in 1:30. The fourth event ten mile amateur for state championship has been de scribed above. It was one of the pret tiest spurts of the day and was excit ing from the start. Morrison cinched his hold on this. His time was 14:47 3-5. Elliott spurted in ahead of Janicke for third and made the twenty laps In 15:uo flat. Janicke popped in at 15:04 2-5. The fifth event unlimited pursuit was another piece of spectacular speed ing. Elliott started out first, followed by Cooper, Janicke and Morrison. El liott was overtaken on the second lap and dropped out. Janicke was nt overlapped and he fell by the wayside on account of the handicap. For flva or six miles Morrison and Coper the rivals all through the races raced around the course. Morrison could not overtake Cooper and the race was given to the Topeka boy. The sixth event five miles for ma chines under two and a half horse pow er was won by Cooper. He came around the first lap last. Newman came around second at this lap and Miller third. This was the order of the racers until the end of the race. Coop er remained in the lead for the last foiu- and a half miles. Newman was ac cused of looking back and lost second place. Miller came in third but waj awarded second. Cooper made the five miles in 8:9. The last race before the twentv-flvj mile clip was a five mile free for all and was won by Cooper. He made the ten laps in 8:37. Elliott second and Wilson third. The whole series of races was clear'y a great victory for the Indian Motor cycle. The low hung, classy looking little machines won everything and took practically all the prizes. The lit tle Excelsior took all firsts of the single sylinder machines and made a fine showing. Elliott was handicapped throughout the race on account of havine- on" single cylinder Indian. He could havj won practically everything, undoubted ly, with a speedier motorcycle. He shows class and nerve that will event ually make him a champion rider. J. M. Meir, who drove his Thor ma chine from Salt Lake City, entered a few events. He didn't' have much nerve for-speeding although, he showed greai skill at times. BLACK FRIDAY. To Be Black Xo Loneer Nebraska Judge Sets Hanging for Monday. Omaha, Sept. 14. Because Judge Sutton of the Douglas county district court departed from the old custom of fixing on Friday as a date for exe cutions, in sentencing John Ma sourides, murderer of a South Omaha police officer, to be hanged on a Mon day, the Omaha Ministerial unionr yes terday adopted resolutions commend ing the Judge. Speaking fo fixing the date for the execution on Monday in stead of Friday, Judge Sutton said: The execution or murderers on Fri day always has been abhorrent to me. is a custom dating back into an tiquity and nothing less than a mock- ry of the crucifixion of Christ. Al though this may be sentiment, it seems to me, with five other days in the week on which to vindicate law and justice, there is no necessity of confining an execution to the date upon which the Savior gave up his life." Never before, so far as is known, has a man been sentenced in Nebraska to be hanged on any other day than Friday. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE DEAD. Capt.

He applied at a number of different places and at last secured a position as office boy in one of the Santa Fe offices. H-s did his work well but did not mingle with his office comrades, learning their names or habits. When told by the boss to take material to the stenog rapher, he would walk timidly to the man who sat at the desk operating a typewriter, deliver the goods and walk away. One bright day, standing on a certain street corner in company with his brother was acquainted passed them his brother was aquainted passed them and the brother remarked that, that fellow was a cracker Jack of a stenog rapher the lad spoke up bravery and said.

X 6 DOLLEYJS SUED. Bank Commissioner En joined in Federal Court. Prerented From Enforcing Kan sas Guaranty Law. CLAIM IT IS ILLEGAL Tiolation of Constitution of the. United States. Discriminatien Alleged in Faror of Old Banks. One hundred and forty-two national banks and forty-one state banks of the state of Kansas have filed suit in the United States circuit court through Clerk Sharrlt today in which, they ask for a temporary Injunction against Joseph N. Dolley, bank commission of this state, and Mark Tulley, state treasurer, restraining and enjoining out the points In the new state bank guaranty law. The suit claims in short: That the bank guaranty law conflicts with the fourteenth amendment of the constitution. That It is contrary, to the laws and constitution of the state of Kansas.. That the stats spends unlawfully the money of the taxpayers of the state to carry out a so-called insurance scneme. That there are ho provisions of any kind for the creation of a guaranty fund. That there Is no security for the de positors and no provisions by which anv them required t make any posits with state treasurer. That there are no provisions hyjwbich banks are to submit to an assessment for creation of bank guaranty fund. That there Is a discrimination against the banks who have only been In busi ness a year. That there is a discrimination against banks paying more than three per cent to depositors. That the law gives false assurances and makes the depositor believe he is insured when he Is not. That the law gives the state a right to carry on an Insurance business, which is thus unconstitutional. There are any number of .other al legations in the suit which have been mentioned before through, the. press. The suit today asks for an injunction against the bank commissioner and the state treasurer praying that a temporary injunction be granted en Joining and restraining the officers of' the law from proceeding to act under and enforce the said bank guaranty law, also from receiving deposits of bonds and money and from issuing certificates to banks and levying as sessments or enforcing any of the pro visions in the law. The complaintants also ask that Dolley and Tulley be enjoined from attempting to exercise any powers and rights of the law. The suit today was signed by Ches ter I. Long, John L. Hunt and J. W. Gleed with B. P. Waggener and Jno. i L. Webster as counsels.- i 1 The surprise of the-ealt Is he num- ber of state banks concerned.

Reports from Mount Wilson say that the fire Is. the worst In that region In several years, and the watershed ia In serious dan ger. At the head of San Berdando valley another fire is menacing the San Gar briel reserve, while a third fire ia do ing a great deal of damage half way down the same valley.

Risley and Remo in a pan tomimic novelty comedy act furnish a lot of laughter. This act Is original with its setting of a Chinese opium den. The efforts of an Irish "cop" to arrest a Chinese opium fiend, which eventually reach a successful end, are very funny and amusing. One of the most Interesting acts is that of Slg. Joseph St. Clair, -a European novelty harp soloist. Sis;- St. Clair performs a difficult feat of playing his harp while it is encased in cloth covering, and with his eyes blindfolded. The biggest effort on the bill Is the dramat ic sketch of Al Luttringer. Lillian Lucas Co., entitled "A Girl of the West. This is a tragedy of a Colorado min ing camp.

The lines teem with comedy and there are some clever comedians seen in this week's produc tion, among which,. Frank Carter as Ben Young" is seen, to good advant age. Some of .the comedy parts are ov-. erdrawn; This is certainly the case with Edward Ferguson In the part of Gus Ferris."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1909. FOOLINGJE LAW Cigarettes Sold in Topeka by a Subterfuge. They Are Called "Little Cigars" by Manufacturers. LITTLE DIFFERENCE, Offer "the Fiends" Just What They Desire. No Steps Taken Here to Enforce the Law. -Are the manufacturers of cigarettes and the tobacco dealers ol Kansas nri rticularlv ToDeka. violating the i -nfTa t-h t cr the sale of LaiC inn C3 cigarettes, which was enacted by the last legislature? This is a question which is now being discussed in cigar stores and barber shops. If this law is not being violated on a huge scale, then those engaged in the manufacture and sale of cigar ettes have found a very clever sub stitute. They are on sale in nearly every cigar store in Topeka and other cities of the state, what are styled "little cigars" and which are virtually nothing more than a subterfuge for cigarettes. These "little cigars" are made of a regular cigarette tobacco filler, which is cleverly hidden be neath a brown wrapper, which is either a natural tobacco leaf or a brown paper substitute. These "little cigars" are shaped in the exact form of a cigarette. Those who have smoked them say there is no difference in the taste. They are put up in little boxes the same as cigarettes. The boxes are labelled the same as the cigarette boxes which were formerly sold in Kansas. The same names of brands are em ployed and the only distinction is the substitution of the "little cigars" for cigarettes in the wording of the boxes. Those inveterate smokers who before the reform wave smoked their "Turkish Trophies" and other brands of cigarettes, now. smoke Turkish Trophy "little cigars" with the same enjoyment, and the only dif ference being the replacement of the white arsenic papers with a brown wrapper which is probably just as In jurious or more so. The new law hasn't shown any material decrease on the smoking of ciearettes thus far. Those who are addicted to the habit laid in a large supply of the coffin nails before the law took effect. Others who were not so fortunate have friends in Kansas City who ship them in, and many have made trips to Kansas City ex pressly for the purpose of stocking up on these little Turkish and Egyptian smokes. The law however has undoubtedly decreased the consumption of tobacco and especially cigarettes among the minors. None of the to bacco dealers will sell to those un der the age prescribed -by law Many of them however has continued their smoking ia the-. same old Jivax. .la. many officers and such places- the older employes but the "little -cigars for the youngsters and then turn them over. The young smokers are compelled to do their smoking in private places however and this has placed somewhat of a damper on the ardor of the youthful smokers. As the smoking situation now stands in Kansas, it can best be de scribed bv paraphrasing an utterance of the late John J. Ingalls. "The reformers can have their prohibition and the smokers their cigarettes." RECEPTION AT Y. M. C. A. Secretary Brownell Will Be Officially Welcomed Friday.

FROM THE FARMS Come the Wealth a-nd Sustenance of Nation, Said Jas. J. Hill, to Bankers.. Chicago, Sept. 14. "The idea that we feed the world is being corrected; and unless we can increase the agri cultural population and their product, the question of a source of food sup ply at home will soon supersede the question of a market for our own products abroad." This was the warning given by Jas. J. Hill at the convention of the American Bankers' association today, during a discussion of the- decline of agriculture- and its consequences. Mr. Hills subject was "National Wealth and the Farm." "We have," said the speaker, "al most reached a point where, owing to increased population without increas ed production per acre, our home feed supply will be insufficient for our own needs; within ten years, possibly less, we are likely to become a wheat-importing nation; the percentage of the population engaged in agriculture and the wheat product per acre are both falling; at the same time the cost of living is raised everywhere by this relative scarcity of bread, by arti ficial increase in the price of all man ufactured articles, and by a habit of extravagance which has enlarged the view of both rich and poor of what are to be considered the necessaries of life. These plain facts should disturb and arouse not only the economic student but the men who are most intimately related to the wealth of "the nation and most concerned that it shall not suffer loss or decreases. Mr. Hill declared that never yet has enhanced cost of living, when due to agricultural decline and inability to supply national needs, failed to end in national disaster. Mr. Hill said the farm is our main reliance and that every other activity depends on that. He asserted, how ever, that the majority of people fdil to realize practically the declining status of agriculture In the country "They are misled by the statistics of farm values and products, mounting annually by great leaps, into thinking that this absolute Increase implies a relative advance of this industry as compared with others," said he. "Ex actly the opposite is the case. I refer not merely to the quality and results ol our tillage, but to the setting of the human tide away from the cultivated field and toward the factory gate or the city slum. This is something whose consequences for evil are as certain as If the aggregate deposits in all the banks of this country were decreasing by a fixed percentage every ten years, while their loans were increasing by another percentage just as stable. You would know what catastrophe that as sured by and by. "It means the same thing. In kind and consequences, when the agricu1- tural population, the producers and de positors in the great national treasury or wealth, is declining year by year, while the city population, which thrives only by drawing drafts upon the land and cannot live a year after the.?e cease to be honored, rises at its ex pense. Yet not only is such a crisis ac proaching, but it is being hastened by legislative stimulation in favor of oth er Industries while overlooking this."

The school children of Topeka are probably the busiest people in Topeka today at least in their estimation for the fall term in the city schools commenced this morning. Enrollment and the assignment of lessons for to morrow occupied the greater part or the time at the various schools today, but real work will commence tomor row. The pupils were an excitement this morning as they filed along at an early hour to their respective schools. Many or tne youngsters were wearing a smiling expression of countenance but there were a few who were loath to have play days end whose faces were decidedly elongated. The enrollment reports from tne various schools will not be in until to- nieht. and it would be hard to make an estimate in regard to the enroll ment. The general opinion among the teachers is that it has been satisfac tory. There was some confusion, how ever, on account of a newspaper state ment to the effect that there would be no school today on account of the fair. A number of inquiries were made this morning by those who thought that the schools would be dis missed during the afternoon. At the high school enrollment com menced at 8:30 this morning. No seri ous work was attempted. -Principal Stout is desirous that the parents visit the school from time to time and thus keep in direct touch with the work that their sons and daughters are doing In the high school.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS-TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1909. HEOSOPHY DID IT Major J. E. Hanson Files Hig Answer in Dirorc Stilt. lTif Made His Hons a Pagan Temple. ATTACKED BY FAMILY Attributes Hostility to Fanati cism of Members. Claims Acquaintance With Mrs. McTicar Was Mere Incident. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14. Theosophy is blamed by Major J. F. Hanson. president of the Central of Georgia railway for the marital trouble which led his wife, Mrs. Cora L. Hanson to bring suit recently for divorce. Mrs. Hanson charged cruelty, neglect and too much attention on the part of the major to Mrs. "Jack" Horner, now Mrs. James McVicker, a beautiful young society woman of New York. Major Hanson filed his answer today in the superior court of Fulton coun ty. It contains 21 pages of printed matter and categorically denies each of his wife's charges. In conclusion he says: "Further answering plaintiff's bill, defendant avers that until theosophy came in, as an element of discord, he had a united and happy family. The theosophists of defendant's family soon added to the zeal of new converts the arrogance, intolerance, aggres sion and bigotry of fanatics and sought to lead or drive every one around them into theosophy. "The defendant's house at Macon soon became the headquarters for this character of work in the city. De fendant's refusal to entertain the Idea of ever becoming a theosophist be cause he regarded it as a modern form of paganism, caused the first change In plaintiff's feeling toward him. "When every effort to force defen dant to bear the burdens of theosophy by putting up money for the universal brotherhood scheme had failed, the plaintiff, with one other member of her family, resolved to attack him in such a way that public defense would be lmposible and destroy him. "Before members of defendant's family became theosophists they were kind, considerate and respectful; af terwards they opposed in every con ceivable way the wishes of the defen dant. "Defendant does not believe this cruel and unjust treatment by mem bers of his own family was due to any natural perversity on their part, but was due to the fanaticism resulting from the acceptance by them of a strange religion. "The defendant further alleges that the asociation with Mrs. Horner is a mere incident in the campaign against him by the theosophists of his family because they could not force him to bow his neck to the yoke of theos ophy." Both Major Hanson and his wife are well advanced in years, while Mrs. McVickar Is quite young. LIVE STOCK MEX jftEET. Sanitary Commissioners From All Over Union Assembled in Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 14. Live stock com missioners from nearly every state in the Union are in Chicago attending the thirteenth annual meeting of the Interstate Live Stock Sanitary boards. P. S. Haner, chairman of the state boar dof live stock commissioners of Illinois, in his address of welcome to the delegates called attention to the fact that in order to further the work of live stock sanitation, uniform state laws were necessary. President W. H. Dahlrymple of Louisiana, in his annual address, out lined what he hoped the near future would see in the way of uniform legislation in every state along lines of modern sanitation and disease control. The recent outbreak of the foot and mouth disease and the extreme danger of the malady to the stock growers herds were explained by A. T. Melvin, chief of the United States bureau of animal industry. Mr. Mel vin described in detail the action of this insidious distemper, which at tacks sheep. hogs and cattle and goats. While he said the malady was not necessarily fatal, yet it meant heavy loses to owners of live stock, when it was communicated to their herds. The facility with which the disease is transmitted made it one of the hardest of live stock ailments to combat successfully. "The United States is the only country which has controlled the foot and mouth disease," J. R. Moler. chief of the pathological division of the bureau of animal industry, said. "It is highly infectious, in fact, spreads like prairie fire. I is little known to the public in general, but is always being watched by the veterianarians." PRUSSIA FLIES A3IERICAX FLAG. Waterways Commission Creates Ex citement Along the Rhine. Cologne, Sept. 14. The American flag flying from a Prussian government steamer on the Rhine has created con siderable inquiry along the river and brought out the explanation that the government was thus honoring the members of the American waterways commission who are engaged in studing the river improvements with the aid cf a body of German engineers assign ed to facilitate their work. The com missioners spent all of last week on the Rhine taking up each section. of the river in detail. At Dusseldorf they were received by the acting mayor at the wharf and welcomed to the city in an address to which Senator T. K. Burton of Ohio replied. Today the commission is investigat ing traffic conditions around Duisburg. Ruherort, Dortmond and the Ems canal. The commissioners will pro ceed tonight for Holland and then go to Belgium.

BULLET IX BRAIN RECOVERS. Frank Blaine Discharged From Hos pital as Cured. Washington. Sept. 14. With a 22 caliber bullet imbedded in his brain, fired there with suicidal intent more than two weeks ago, Frank Blaine, left the casualty hospital this city yes terday discharged as cured. He said he suffered no discomfort other tnan pains in the head and neck and he talked rationally.

Washingion, Sipt. 14. When the body of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, Jr., the young marine officer, who met his death about two years ago at Annapolis, was exhumed at Arlington cemetery yes terday afternoon an autopsy perform ed by physcians representing the navy department and young Sutton's mother, disclosed the lact that no bones were broken, although a contusion was found over the right eye. It had been Mrs. Sutton s contention that nor son'3 arm had been broken in the fight which preceded his death, and that, this being the case, the shot which ended his life could not have been self irflicted. Dr. George Tully Vaughan, who rep- n-sented Ivlrs. Sutton at the' autopsy, said last night that the bullet wound which caused Buttons death was three inches above the right ear and was clean cut. There was no indication that the hair and scalp had been burned by powder. Surgeon Spear, who represented the ravy department, declined to make a statement today, saying that he intend ed to make a report to the navy de partment. Attorney van Dyke, associate coun sel for Mrs. Sutton, said last night he was convinced that the shot had been fired at least five feet from the officer's head and that the wound showed con clusively that it was a physical im possibility for Sutton to have fired the shot. Present at the grave when the body was disinterred, were Mrs. Sutton, sev eral friends, her attorneys, several surgeons and a number of newspaper men. Mrs. Sutton was the first person to look upon rhe face of her dead son when the casket was opened. After leaving the store room where the body lay, she said to the newspaper men: I want you newspaper men to go in there and see for yourselves that his forehead is crushed.

(Continued from Page One.) compete with state banks and thus encourage a growth in the number of banks in the national system under federal control. i "National banks should be allowed to act as trustees and they should be given the right under a specific de claration of law to accept savings de posits, but the savings deposits thus received should be segregated from their general deposits. Furthermore than this, the la wshould define de finitely, the character of investments the banks should carry against savings deposits, which investments should be segregated from the general assets of the bank, and in case of a failure of the bank the savings depositors should have a first lien upon the spec ific securities held in the savings de partment and in addition be general creditors." Robt. Lowrys Response. Col. Robt. J. Lowry of Atlanta. Ga in his response to the address of wel come at the opening of the conven tion, referred to the object and his tory of the Bankers' association as follows: "Every bank and banker in this association feels naturally and justly proud of membership in this or ganization; not only .on account of the high prestige of the association as such, but on account of the great influence it wields for the benefit of the masses of the people and the whole country. This association has grown alike in power and beneficence. It has helped to shape wise and beneficent legislation; it has raised its voice against fanaticism and mis guided popular clamor, and in time of financial disturbance, has brought order out of chaos and restored con fidence. "Like a great throbbing heart cen ter, it has sent out through the length and breadth of this broad land a healthful and inspiring in fluence, which has left its impress not only upon the banking fraternity, but has permeated the channels of business and commercial and pro fessional life, and has injected into the arteries of our daily commerce, safe, osund, and sane principles of commercial honor and' honestv. The beneficent influence of this great organization is felt from Maine to California, from the lakes to the gulf, and where is the man. the banker, who could not feel a pride in his membership in an organization which is such a power for good in this great country?" Committee on Bills of Lading. This committee made report to the convention of four important results as follows: First The commissioners on uni form state laws, after four years of careful consideration, have completed their draft of the uniform bill of lad ing act for state adoption, and have recommended same for enactment in to law by the legislatures of the va rious states. Second The Canadian railroads have all adopted the uniform bill of lading recommended by our interstate commerce commission, including form, colors and with but slight and unimportant changes In its provisions. Third Four states have enacted into law the bill of lading measure drafted by general counsel on behalf of our committee, under instructions of the various banking association bill of lading committees last September. Fourth The carriers in official classification territory- have authorized all agents who issue "order" bills of lading to place the official stamp of their agency on such bills; and furth er have issued a ruling that "all straight and order bills of lading should be made out n ink, indelible pencil or should be typewritten, and all 'order' bills of lading should have the: number "of packages shown In woras as we a as inynumerals." In addition. important progress has been made to secure ."congressional legislation on bills of lading, which will cover interstate. shipments. Secretary and Executive Committee.

Wheat Erratic During the Early Trading This Morning. V Declines and Then Advances on Buying by Shorts. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Cattle Quoted Steady to Cents Lower. Ten Hogs Weak Bulk of Sales at 7.90 to 8.25. Chicago, Sept. 14. WHEAT The wheat market was extremely erratic during ear ly trading today, particularly the Septem ber delivery, which at times was urgent ly sought by shorts. At the ODeninK the September option was c to c higher man yesterday's close. Initial quotations being at 1.0W to $1.04. December open ed a shade to (S;c higher at 89c. to 9Sc. Liberal sales by a leading elevator interest caused a material setbacK during the first half hour, September declining to 1.03 and December to 9Sc. Renewed buying by shorts caused another rally to about the opening level. Sentiment in the pit was mixed but many traders were bullishly inclined owing to the Argentine situation, reports from that country claiming damage to tne new crop by locusts. The market was unsettled all day. Buy ing by a leading commission house forced the price of the December delivery up to AFTER CITY RAILWAY. New Ordinance Proposed Because of Neglect of Tracks. The adjourned meeting of the city council held last night dealt almost en tirely with routine work, and from the viewpoint of those who casually drop ped in to hear the dignified city rath ers discuss the affairs it was anything but exciting. A matter which was of general public interest, however, was that of passing a resolution asking to have an ordi nance framed by the city attorney which will amend ordinance 780 of the date of Feb. 16, 1887, which concerns the regulation of the street car traffic in the city. It is felt that 22 years has changed conditions and that th? old ordinance has become too anti quated to be effective. The resolution which was presented bv Councilman Stanley was partially the result of a tour of inspection which the streets and walks committee made of the city last week, together with various complaints which, have b.en lodged in regard to the lack of interest the street railway company has ben taken in the way of keeping Its tracks in proper order. In speaking of the proposition Couri cilman Stanley said that he thought that in the end the old ordinace would probably be repealed and an entirely new one drawn up whlcn will meet th requirements of the present time. A resolution was adopted asking the city clerk to advertise for bids for putting to grade the street railway tracks on East Eighth avenue, between Kansas avenue and Harrison street. An application from Jesse Shaw, su perintendent of the waterworks depart ment, and F. L. Stevens, cashier, was made asking tnat tneir bonds be re duced from $5,000 to $2,500 each. The idea was that the bonding companies have brought the cost of carrying their bonds up to 120 a year, thus doubling up on rates. There was considerable opposition to tne proposition, ueneral Hughes thought that $5,000 is little enough, and considered that to make the bonds lower would be setting a bad precedent. The matter was turned over to the Judiciary committee for further consideration. In a communication from City At torney Ralston it was proposed that an ordinance be framed with the view of changing the names of the streets which were not objected to in the case which came up last of E. B. Cowgill et al. vs. the City of Topeka et al., in which Judge Dana admitted the right of the city to change the names of ths streets in a reasonable manner. Th,? letter was placed In the hands of the judiciary committee. City License Collector Mattinely was granted a two weeks' leave of absence to take place during the present week. Mr. Mattingly has made a better rec ord in connection with obtaining the licenses due the city than any of his predecessors, and this leave of ab sence is well deserved. A resolution offered by Councilman Simpson to the effect that the use of the street lights of the Edison Electric Illuminating Co. be discontinued re ceived the favorable consideration of the council. A. A. Knapp was given an extension of time in which to dispose of the waste paper boxes of the old type which are still on the street. A letter was read from Adelaide Mc- Neal asking for six months in which to remove a house which was built pro jecting into an alley between Tei h avenue and Eleventh street on Jeffer son street. The communication said that the house had been built accord ing to surveyor's stakes. After con siderable debate and some oppositior. the time asked for to remove the house was granted. It was decided to reject the proposi tion for the establishment of a drainage district on the North side, as the plans did not seem to be adequate, as shown by the last heavy rain. The city en gineer was instructed to draw up fur ther plans and estimates. Spanish Papers Oppose Censorship. Madrid. Sept. 14.

BUFFALO BILL COMING. Combined Shows Given at Skene's Park Tomorrow. Colonel W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) end Major. G. W. LlUie (Pawnee Bill) with their combined Wild "West and Far Eaat shows will be in Topeka to morrow. These .merged attractions will show at Skene's park in the after noon and evening-, providing of course that Topeka is favored with something better than the usual variety of circus flay weather. This is the first time in many years that "Buffalo Bill" has brought his chow to Topeka. Pawnee Bill, as Major Lime is known, because of his friendly dealings with the Pawnee In dians, has been seen here more re cently, having shown here two years go. This, however, will be the first appearance In the city of. the com bined attractions. Buffalo Bill's wild west show has been all over the world. He made a great hit with it at the two big Jubi lees of Queen- Victoria. This show was originated by Buffalo Bill over a quarter of a century ago. It was a big iuccess from the start. Major Lillie organized his company several years later using Buffalo Bill's success as an incentive and featuring life in the antipodal regions, the far east. In the combined shows, all the phases of life on the western frontier and the Orient will be correctly portrayed. Both Buf falo Bill and Pawnee Bill will be here with their company and will have a prominent place on the program of attractions. Buffalo Bill is especially well known through his long service as a government scout and member of the regular army during the early day struggles with the Indians. The afternoon, performance will start at 2 o'clock while the evening show will start at 8. At 11 o'clock in the morning and at 6:45 in the even ing a free exhibition will be given to the public by Frenzieo. the Moham medan dervish, who dives from a high mast to an Inclined platform without the aid of any mechanical device or other apparatus. There will be no parade. Buffalo "Bill has taken the initiative in this regard, and says that no performer can give his. best efforts in the show after tiring himself in the parade.

Mayor Green- has issued the follow ing -proclamation: Mayor's Office, Topeka, Kan., Sep tember, 1909. The State Wide Fair association is putting forward every effort, exerting wonderful energy and expending! money lavishly to present to the peo ple of the state of Kansas an agri cultural exposition superior to anything of the kind that has ever been witness ed within our borders. It Is not only right and proper, but It is incumbent ipon th2 people of the capital city that they co-operate with this association in its endeavors, and especially, that they give to it their most liberal patronage. I therefore recommend and urge that in order that all people m our city may have an opportunity to attend this fair, that Thursday, the 16th, in the after roon, be regarded as a holiday, and that on the afternoon of that day all public and private business be sus pended that all stores, offices and count ing rooms be closed and that all citi zens of Topeka attend the fair at that time. In witners whereof. I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of Septem ber, 1909. WM. GREEN. Mayor. Attest: C. B. BUEGE, City Clerk. RAGES OFF TODAY Track Found to Be Too Ueary for Speed -Contests. Th Kansas Derby Will Be Ban Tomorrow.' LIST OF GOOD ONES. Facers in 2:18 Class on the Bill Wednesday. Program Arranged for Best of the Week. The drenching rain Monday night made the half mile" race track at the fair grounds unfit fpr use this after noon. The horse dopesters at the fair grounds hung around all morning with their eyes skyward waiting for a sign of the sun. But the sun did not come out in time for a sufficient drying pro cess and at 11 o'clock the officials de clared the races oft. The program for tmorrow Includes a 2:18 pace, three-year-old trot and three-year-old pace. Today's regular program will be sliced into pieces and distributed throughout the week. "It will be very little trouble to sandwich these events in with the others," said one of the officials this morning. "We have aSturday as an extra day and the rest of the events can be shifted to the days coming." It is probable that the Kansas derby will be placed on the program tomor row. This was scheduled for today but had to be called off. It Is probable that it will be the last event tomorrow. The entries are Fair Messenger, The Sultan, Volsel, Contingent, Bobby Cook and Albert Gill. The first three seem to be the favorites from the present outlook. Contingent is just like the governor's fund it is hard to tell what will happen to it. The 2:18 pace for a $400 purse will be the first event and will prove a drawing card. There are seven out of the state horses in this pace and they all bear good records. Melba is back ed heavily for the winning. There are no Topeka horses in this event.

The attendance this moraine was for the most part composed of coun try people who were intensely in terested in making the rounds of the exhibits. The displays in the big produce tent were being put in place this morning. In connection with the produce one of the most Interesting exhibits is that superintended by Bradford Mil ler. It Is composed of. corn entries by the children. One competent farmer asserted that this display is the best general corn exhibit ever seen In Topeka. The youngest exhibitor Is but seven years old. The Franklin and Linn county dis plays of general produce are ex cellent. The Shawnee county display is conspicuous on account of its ab sence. One of the exhibits -which haa at tracted considerable attention, es pecially among the -younger genera tion, Is that of Shetland ponies. R. J Foster living near Topeka. on the Burlingame road Is displaying ten ponies, T. B. Odell of Berryton. 5, and Harold Richardson of Tooeka 2, aside others who have made single entries.

Ds Clow were attracting a great deal of attention this morning, espec ially the Orloff horses from the Royal stables of St. Petersburg. The follow ing is a brief history of tnis Dreea 01 horses: Built on- the Immovable rock of Arabian "blood,- is sufficient guarantee that the Orloff horse, wiU endure to be most familiarly known to tne world.' In the year 1777, during the -reign of Empress Catherine th Great, of Russia, Count Alexis onon iam tne foundation of two great breeds of horfwsthe trotter and the coach. He started by buying in the south of Greece a silver white Arabian stallion. Smetanka, for 60,000 roubles (assig nats), which is equal to-1714 pounds. Smetanka was of the Sacla4 class, of the Koelani breed, and was a magni ficent horse and very powerful; he was 2 archines, 2 vershoks high (15 hands or 1 metre 6240). He was used one season only at the stud, and died In 1778, leaving only four colts and one filly. Smetanka had two ribs more than ordinary horses, as can be seen by his skeleton, which is still kept in the Orloff museum. Count Orloff bred Smetanka to what was then known as "The Cours er" -of England, and later the "Anglo Arab's" (of Arabian and Barb origin). Hence it is plain to be seen that the Orloff, like all other great breeds of horses, are of Arabian origin.. Count Orloff i never- sold a stallion during -his life, r Sometime after, the '.count's, death, in the year 1845, the imperial gov ernment bought the entire Orloff stud of trotters and coach horses from the Countess A A. Orloff. daughter of its founder, consisting of 21 stallions and 194 brood mares of the Orloff trotter breed, and 9 stallions and 112. brood mares of the Orloff coach; breed. The Orloffs have bred true for over 80 years During" the Paris International ex position the stallion Bedouin, an Or loff. trotteT, trotted three kilometres in 4 min. 45 sec, and the last' kilo metre in 1 min. 29 sec, which is equal to 1 min. 32 sec, per verst (3500 feet), while th celebrated American trotting mare Flora Tem ple's (one of our best at that time) best time per verst was 1 min. 38 sec The Orloff breeds possess a smooth conformation, a high spirits good in disposition, and splendid .style, and elegance of action. The, bicycle, repair shop owned and managed by J. H. Brummltt, at West Fifth street. Is one of the best equipped in this city. His repairs are of the kind that stay fixed and he has gained quite a reputation in this line. He keeps the Excelsior motor cycle .which was a winner in yesterday's races. Mr. Odell,. the "bee wlsard," enter tained the people this morning in a most fascinating manner with his "Thirty Minutes in Wonderland." a. lecture and vaudeville performance with the bees. At S o'clock this after roon his horticultural lecture, "Been in Garden and Orchard," was accompanied with sensational feats with the bees. The attractions of Mr. Odell are well worth teeing.- Tomorrow he will con tinue his entertainments. All of ths lectures are a part of the course given at the Nebraska state fair by the atat board of agriculture. ANOTHER MURDER SIYSTERY. Covered With Knife Wounds. i New York. SeDt. 14.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1909. NORTH SIDE NEWS Indications of Increase of En rollment at Schools. I Pupils Make Good Showing: on Opening Day. SCHOOL IN IRELAND, Miss Ellis, of Quincy School, Describes Conditions. Children Sit on Benches Like Circus Seats., Small Partitioned Booms and Poor Equipment. "School days, school days. These are golden rule days Reading and writing and 'rithmatic Indications are that the enrollment for the North side schools which open ea this morning, will exceed that of any previous year. At the Quincy school Principal Stanley says he thinks that the enrollment will be at least 60 more than that of last year, and that one of the rooms which was not need ed last year will be used this term. In the neighborhood of the school build Jng many of the houses which were vacant at the close of school this spring are now occupied by people with families. The school building has been given a thorough cleaning by Janitor Ira Wells. This means that over 30 doors and a hundred windows have twn Cleaned as well as the desks. Mr. iWells was given a well deserved com pliment for his work by Mr. Stanlev. These conditions are also true at the Grant school. C. M. Morrow, the prin cipal, said this morning that while he could not say for sure, he thought that the enrollment this fall would be much erreater than that of a year ago. At -both schools the pupils and teachers are entering into tneir work with a spirit which promises that the school mork this year will be better than ever before. Miss Lucy Ellis, in charge of the (manual training at the Quincy school. cas just returned from a trip abroad. Among other things she visited schools In Belfast. Ireland, and told in an in teresting way how superior American schools were to those she had seen in that city. "The school was conducted in a lit tle bu!lding which looked like a church," said Miss Ellis to a visitor this morning. "I do not believe that it occupied as much space as our man ual training room. It was divided into three rooms by partitions which did rot reach to the roof. I think there were about 150 pupils there. (In most of the European countries school is conducted the year round with the ex ception of six weeks in July). In one of the smaller rooms sat a row of well they were only babies perched cn benchec which resembled circus seats. Their poor, little feet of the children dangled only halt way to the floor In some instances. "In the other rooms were the older pupils. They sat on benches also. IWhlle studying they kept their books on a shelf which was arranged in Irom the seats. When they changed classes the noice and confusion were oistres'ring. However, they were all clean and bright looking. It seemed a shame when I heard that the major ity of them only went through the grammar grades, learned Just enough to transact the most ordinary of business and that unless the pupils' parents were wealthy they had no chance of going eny higher. "This grade school was in charge of two men and two women teachers. They had very little school equipment to help them. After seeing this little school and it was considered one of the best in the city I felt proud of American schools in general and of Quincy school, Topeka, Kan., in par ticular. However. I understand that in England and Scotland schools are uo-i to-date." Miss Ellis, accompanied by her sis ter. Miss Ruth Ellis, also visited in (England. France. Switzerland and Italy while abroad this summer. j We have Just received a new lot of Heywood shoes. Come In and look them over. T. D. Joseph. Said a North side man todayt "The opening 'of school .-ecalls a strange romance to my mind. The scene of the melodrama was in the high school of my home town. I think I should call it 'From Afar He Worshipped," or the 'Romance of a Bashful Boy.' "The hero ar.d heroine were oppo sltes in every way. The girl was tall and slender, with a wealth of golden hair. Her face was sharply chiseled, but- as regularly molded, as the face of a statue of a Grecian goddess. She was bright, dashing and sharp witted, almost cutting In the use of her ever ready tongue. "The boy was sensitive and reticent, having very little to do with any of ue. However, we knew he secretly ad mired the golden haired girl. We sus pected that from the way he gazed at her with an adoring look every time he thought no one observed him. We knew that the girl cared for the lad Just a little, for his very oddity per haps, then she rather liked the idea ol lis preference for her only. He never noticed any other girL At any rate we determined to work up a 'case' with them. Tho girl did not seem adverse to our suggestion that she make friends with this odd-looking and odder acting youth. She began to meet him on her way to school, never passed him in room without speaking to him or chat ting with him a moment about his be loved ancient history. At first her attentions embarrasses the youth almott to desperation, but as his bashfulness toward her wore off I believe he began to fairly worship her. Toward the close of the school year we held a big class reception and made up our minds that for once in his school career the bashful boy should go with a girl and that the girl should be she of the golden hair. "Whenever the boy overcome his bashfulness enough to sit down to chat with the girl we would group around them, (alk about the reception ana re mark how nice it would be for each boy of the class to take a girl to the affair. The boy would blush furiously while the girl would smile engagingly and continue her chat. "Finally the day before the party was riven we saw the lad come Into the assembly room carrying a bouquet of ioscs. It was lust oetore scnooi caneu in the afternoon. The girl was sitting alone at her desk reading. We were lounged along the wall opposite. In stinctively we knew what was coming and edged closer .to hear. "The boy hesitatingly approached the girl's seat and dropped the flowers In front of her without a word. She look ed up with a smile, which she rarely gave. 1 tninK ner aamirer unu a. speech made up and had practiced it. but the smile anu glance irom me Bri iinfnthnm.hle srrav eves confused him.

The "possum had evidently been chased to the Forbes yard by some hunters in the neighborhood. The dog saw it. and a lively tussle began. Bar locks, hammeriocks and all kinds of ho las were tried until Bowser got a strangle hold on the animal's throat with his jaws. Then scratching and kicking with its sharp claws the "pos sum was vanquished. Notes and Personals.

The symptoms of general debility Tary according to the cause bat weak ness is always present, a tendency to perspire and fatigue, easily, ringing in the ears, sometimes black spots passing before the eyes, -weak back, vertigo, -wakefulness caused by inability to stop thinking and unrefreashing sleep. The cause of the trouble may be some drain on t he system or it may be mental or phy sical overwork, sometimes insufficient nutrition due to digestive disturbance. The case of Mrs. Edward Long, of Cunningham, Kansas, which was cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills is good proof of the value of this Mood-building medicine. "About four years ago," she says, "I was suffering with a general break down due to overwork. There was a dull, steady ache in my back. I had hot Gashes and at times a high fever. My limbs ached and were swollen. At times the pains were so severe that I would have to take morphine to relieve them. I was so weak that I had to lean against tilings for support. The least unexpected noise made me extremely nervous. My heart palpitated upon the slightest exertion and 1 became so sick that I was finally confined to bed and was only a shadow of my former self. I had no color or strength. "I was treated by doctors at "Wichita and at last was taken to a hospital. The doctors were undecided as to my trouble at first but finally advised an operation. I would not consent to this and was taken home, where I was in bed for five weeks. A friend advised that I give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. I was benefited by them almost at once and took the pills until cured. I am in good health now and work every day. My complexion is healthy and 1 liavegained several pounds in weight. Every one says I have completely changed. I shall always recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for what thev have done for me."

A high personage in touch with previous preliminary arrangements regarding the marriage of the Duke of the Abruzi and Miss Katherine Elklns, said today that contrary to the popular impression, the real hitch is not due to objections on the part of the Italian royal fam ily, but to the attitude of Miss Elkins herself. "If Miss Elkins would accept the duke." said this authority, "there would be no obstacle placed in the way. of the marriage by his family. I know that the king and royal family have offered to grant their consent, not to a morganatic union, but to a marriage which would include the privileges and rank for Miss Elkins to which the duke is entitled. "The aueen-mother. perhaps., was not pleased with the prospect of the duke contracting a union with an American. but her objections would have been withdrawn. The duke's fate rests with Miss Elkins herself. If she would say the word the duKe Would be at her side tomorrow and the marriage would not be long de layed. The Iuke Turns His Back. Marseilles. France, Sept. 14, Be fore leaving here in a motor car for Italy, where he expects to join the roval family in Racconigi for a few days, the Duke of the Abruzzi. who has just returned from his trip to the Himalayas, made it clear that he was in no mood to communicate with the oress on any subject and especialiy one concerning Miss Katherine Elkins. When a reporter for the Petit Mar seilles innocently asked if the duke exnected "to rejoin his fiancee ana Mrs. Elkins in Paris" the duke delib erately turned his back upon him The Marquis di Nigrotto held up his forefinger, looked shocked and ex plained that an American press repre sentative already had been expelled from the hotel for asking such a ques tion, and that the Frenchman had better take care. The duke's behavior toward would be interviewers was most distant. haughty and contemptuous, while to others it was most cordial. He -re neated to a correspondent this morn ing. however, that he could not dis cuss the Cook-Peary quarrel, as he had not time to investigate it. If he were compelled to declare himself off hand and on general principles, he added, he would have to give his sup port to Commander Peary as being. In his ooinion the more serious explorer. It is learned on good authority that the romance may soon take a definite shape, for Abruzzi's persistence has at last overcome the objection of the royal family to the extent that they are willing to recognize Miss Elkins as flucness. yueen Lwwager aiar- gherita has been the most obstinate opponent of the match, but it is be lieved that the duke has persuaded her to make no further objections. There is still much feeling, however, and the decision as to whether there will be a marriage rests entirely with Miss Elkins. The duke may, in fact, be on his way to visit the royal fam ily to make final arrangements. SONG OF SPEED. Another Vanderbilt Cup Race Planned for October. New Tork.

Just 'as many women suffragists in various parts of the country had become elated over the fact that Mrs. Ella P'lagg Young, superintendent of the Chicago public schools, had been invited as the only woman guest to sit at the banquet to be given to President Taft on Thurs day by the Commercial club, Mrs. Young cooled any' -expectationes.-that she would by actions champion the right of women to sit in the high councils of men, by announcing that snn would not attend the dinner. In her official capacity as head of the school system Mrs. Young received one of the coveted invitations to the Commercial club dinner to the prsi dent; and found herself the one femi nine representative in a list of guests that included the mayor of the. city, the governor of the state, federal judges, gray haired senators, the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the United States. "We congratulate you," suffragists from various parts of the country have been writing to Mrs. Young. It will be a great day for the American women." ."I am not going," Mrs. Young wrote back. "It is a man's organization en tertaining a man and I am not going to thrust myself in. They'll want to smoke.' Mrs. Young says she '.s a suffragette in theory, but on account of her official position is not one in practice. DEATH VALLEY VICTIMS. Two More Miners Added to These Died of Thirst.

The men whose bodies were found left Rhoylite late in August and started across Death Valley where the ther mometer reaches 130 degrees in tho shade during the summer months. They carried two canteens of water each, but this supply must have been exhausted before they had gone half way. Crazed by thirst they wandered about until they were overcome by the heat and laid down to die. Young Eldridge was attempting to roach this place from his mining claims in the janamlnll range. .He left ins companions three weeks ago. Men from all the desert camps hav. searched the desert. The burro which he took with him when he started across the valley was found a few davs ago but there was no other trace of tin man. Restrict Death Penalty in Russia. St. Petersburg. Sent. 14.

Bankers confined in the Kansas penitentiary on charge, of looting the funds of their banks need not expect clemency from Governor Stubbs. This fact was demonstrated Monday even ing when the wife of Edward Boche-mole,- the Ellinwood banker serving an indeterminate sentence from one to five years, pleaded in vain with the governor for clemency for her hus band. Bochemole has served a little over a year of his sentence and his family and friends confidently expected to secure his pardon at this time as he had a good conduct record at the prison. But the governor did not hes itate at ill in refusing to even go into the case. Oov. Stubbs has no sym pathy at all for a man who betrays a trust. He argues that the banker who dissipates the money placed in his hands by a confiding public should pay the penalty. The banker's wid ow, in this case, is a splendid woman, entitled to sympathy and considera tion, but the governor thought also of the widows who had lost their money placed in the Ellinwood bank and hardened his heart to the plea for Bochemole's freedom. In expressing his views on this mat ter Governor Stubbs said: 'I don't believe in going quite so far as they do in China, but I would keep these bunkers in the penitentiary until they have served thoir sentence The Chinesa method of punishment in most cases is the simple one of de capitation. Ihe orison board had recommended a pardon for Bochemohle. Under the terms of his sentence he was eligible to a pardon. He was sentenced to a term of from one to five yeans in the penitentiary and has served a year and a month. His brother. Le'o Bochemohle, committed suicide" rather than go to the penitentiary.- The nly charge against Edward was that of receiving money when he knew-hrs bank to be insolvent. Ialmi new 35 Miles.

New suits, new dresses and new coats are coming in al most every hour of the day. Many of the prettiest are typical "birds of passage" for, once gone, we cannot promise to duplicate them. And that is a word to the wise to the woman who desires in dividuality, above all things. In the Tailored Suits simplicity is the keynote a severe ness of treatment that tests the skill and ingenuity of de signer and tailor, for they have-not the aid afforded by a more elaborate scheme of embellishment. Hence the, styles are a test of a store's ability to interpret those fashions. We invite your judgement. The tailored suit pictured is $12.50 others up to S55.00. The new silk Jersey dresses are very swagger and destin ed to become immensely popular. Made of silk Jersey cloth from neck to hips, clinging tightly to the figure. Skirts of broadcloth or prunnella in plaited effects. The one pictured is $35.00 others from $20.00 to $50.00. The return of the natural waist line and the full plaited skirt will be welcomed in these charming Moyen Age dresses. Each of the many models favors a particular style varying in material, color effect, style or treatment so that the wearer is always dressed fashionably and with a touch of exclusiveness. The dress on the left is an olive green prunnella, priced $25.00 and on the right is pictured one of navy blue taffeta at $20.00 other wool dresses from $10.00 to $35.00 and silk dresses from $15.00 to $50.00.
