In the three-year-old pace, every thing is conceded to Charmond. who is owned by John McQuaig of -Tulsa. Okla. Charmond has been taking first money right along all over the country and even the officials feel as though she will come under ahead of the rest. Charmond was out this morning most of the morning and won out in a number of informal Prelim inary spurts although at no time was Lhe given the whip. Charmond is one of those racers who had rather run through the fence than have anything pass her-and they say that she has never had occasion to run through che 16 Governor Young, a black horse by Governor Strong, owned by W.

A large number of people who came to the city for the races yester day and were disappointed on account of the postponement, raised quite a howl after they had heard the cir cumstances. The grandstand was open during the entire day but it was necessary to pay a general admission of fifty cents and several people from out of town and from the city who came only for the races had many ugly things to say about the manage ment. The treasurer of the fair association said this morning that the association took the names of all those they could and will give them free entrance today. They did not think of the rain check proposition and no one was siven return slips. It was claimed by some that grand stand tickets were sola hut the man agement claims that the stand was open free for all during the whole time and the turn tables were not re moved. Although Buffalo Bill's WiM West show -A-as a counter attraction the races this afternoon drew a good crowd to the fair grounds. On ac count of the fact the weather cleared off in fine shape there was also a good attendance from the rural districts. Aside from the races other forms of amusement have been arranged at the lair. This afternoon at 4 o'clock a balloon race took Dlace. the contestants being Montz Bozarth. who has had 20 years' experience in the art of air soar ing, and Frank R. Casin, wno was em ployed at one time by the United States government in japan. --it o ciock this evening another ascension wll take place when fireworks will be set off from the balloons. xne Daiioons will ascend at the same hours tomor row. This afternoon a free Roman chariot race ai.d a relay race took maci. At 9:30 tomorrow morning the Hois ington band will give a free concert. Mr. Odell. the "Bee Wizard," will lecture at 11 o'clock on "The Profits of Bee K3-?p3ng," and at 3 o'clock on "Back of the Sail." Tomorrow is Topeka day and a large crowd Is exoected. During the judging today, the swine department was highly spoken of by ihe interested oii-lookers. Taking it as a whole it probably surpasses any oth er department among the liva Etock exhibits. George Berry, In charge of the swine and sheep, says that no oth er show of hogs held this season in Kansas equals it in number of exhib its, as well a3 in quality of individual cisplays. Tha show of Berkshires is distinctly a Kansas exhibit, and Kan sans are proud of Kansas bred Berk shires. This state is the home of many of the greatest hosra of thij breed, famous wherever hogs are raised. A large delegation of breeders of Foland Chinas from Missouri and Ne braska, as well a.3 Kansas, contested for honors. No less than five breeds of sheep are on exhibition. It Is said that this dis play Is the finest shown in Topeka. Ihere has been a general awakening In the sheep industry ard it is claimed that there are now five times as many flocks in the state as there were ten years ago. Mr. Doty of Illinois is one the biggest exhibitors in this de- partment. BAD FOR RADFORD. His Secretary Charges He Made False Reports. Kansas City. Sept. 15. That he had been instructed by John W. Radford, former state grain inspector of Kan sas, to make false reports to the au ditors office so as to cover discrep ancies was the testimony of Alermon D. Crotts at the preliminary hearing of Radford, who is charged with mis appropriation of the states funds. Crotts, who is awaiting a hearing on a similar charge, was formerly Radford's chief clerk. He also admitted on the stand to day that he had taken money for his own use without the knowledge of Radford. He was still on the stand when court adjourned for the day. The state's case is being conducted by Attorney General FTed S. Jackson in Kansas City, Kan. Crotts testified that it always was intended by both Radford and himself that all shortages in remittances to the state auditor should be made up the following month. This was usual ly done, said the witness, although he thought that on some occasions they had failed to make the shortage good. Crotts testified that Radford asked him what condition the books were in at the close of Radford's term. When the books were being examined and it was known that the discrepancy was bound to be found, Crotts said, Rad ford gave him money to leave town. Weather Indications. Chicago, Sept. 15.

New Strike at McKees Rocks Car Works Today. Pittsburg, Pa.. Sept, 15. A new stnk-J was inaugurated at the Pressed Steel Car works at McKees Rocks today by three thousand foreigners who refuse 1 to work unless the bosses and sub bosses of the plant were discharged. The strike, it is stated is not organ ized, but it caused much excitement in and about Schoenville. There was no demonstration aside from the foreign ers asembling about the gates. Most of the American workmen went to work as usual, but later sev eral hundred of them quit work. The absence of the foreigners, they said, necessitated their coming out. The main grievance, it is said, is the' em ployment of a large number of men, imported during the lata strike, in WHAT'S Buffalo Bill's Tonight, When We Have the capacity of bosses and sub-bosses. The men claim one of the agree ments by which the last.trouble was settled was that all of the imported men should be discharged. The American workmen, who left the plant, say no. work has been ac complished in the mill. Instead the workmen gathered In a. body and lis tened to addresses. By 1 o'clock the strike became general. All the workmen, number ing more than 5,000 had left the plant and all departments were closed down. TO SPREAD DOCTRINE Of Democracy as Rehabilitated New York Conference. at New York, Sept. 15. The organiz ers of the recent Saratoga Democratic conference are arranging to extend the movement started there into oth er states, in hope that similar move ments elsewhere will help to rehabi litate the national Democratic party. The hope was expressed at Saratoga that the movement would spread throughout the United States and re sult in an able renewal of Democratic principles. It was pointed out that the party needed all its. resources for the coming congressional, election. To further this national movement the executive committee of the New York state Democratsc league which was organized at Saratoga, will ar range at a meeting next week for a system of correspondence with Demo cratic leaders in the various states to urge that they undertake the same sort of disinterested earnest propa ganda as that resulting In the Sarato ga conference. The main object in view is to harmonize and encourage all kinds of Democrats to get together on a broad platform and work to gether for the purpose of securing a Democratic majority in the next house of representatives.

Astronomer Says Mars Must A Ions Without "Moisture. Get San Jose, Cal., Sept. '15. People on the planet Mars, if any-live there, breath an atmosphere which is al most destitute of moisture. This Is the conclusion of Director W. W. Campbell of Lick observatory, who has just returned from making observations from the summit of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the United States. He says: "Our moon has an appreciable at mosphere. The Lunar and Maritan spectra will be affected alike by the water vapor in the earth's at mosphere. In photographing con ditions, if the vapor bands In the Maritan spectrum are found to be stronger than in the Lunar spectrum. Mars has water vapor in considerable quantities. If the bands in the. two spectra are equally strong, water vapor on Mars does not exist in sufficient quantities to be detected by the spectro-scopic method. "The latter condition was found to exist. "These observations do not prove that life does not or can not exist on Mars. The question of life under these conditions is a biologist's prob lem rather than the astronomers."

Ceremony Performed in St. Lawrence Chapel, Scotland. A BRILLIANT EVENT. Jewels of Eraganzas Worn by the Bride. Bridegroom Clad in Scarlet Uni form Decorated in Gold. Dingwall, Scotland, Sept. 15. Un der a bower of evergreens and emilax Miss Anita Stewart, daughter of Mrs. James Henry Smith of New York, became the bride of Prince Miguel of Braganza at noon today in the little Roman Catholic chapel of St. Law rence. Miss Anitia Stewart, Who Became Prl ncess Miguel of Braganza Today, and Her Titled Husband. The congregation of this church maae up of descendants of the. class who belonged to the faith in the days vi xuary yueen or Scotts. The chapel was beautifully deco rated for the occasion. The decora tions were ruby and blue associated for generations with the house of the Bragazna. The avenue leading from Tulloch castle was gay with the American, Austrian and Portuguese flags.. The arch' at the end of the avenue bore the words in English Long live the happiness to the prince and princess." The bride was accompanied by her mother and her brother, W. R. Stewart, jr., who gave her away. Prince Miguel was sup ported by his younger brother. Prince Francis Joseph. Bishop Chisholm of ADemeen officiated. The ceremony was followed by the celebration of a low mass, after which the bishop pronounced" the pope's Diessing ana a general benediction. The music was rendered by the choirs of the chapel, accompanied by the band of the Seaforth highlanders. The bride wore a dress of white chiffon over soft satin. A veil of old lace was worn over a wreath of orange blossoms and heather, fastened with a large feather of dia monds and sapphires which had been In the Braganza family for centuries. This was a present of the bride groom. The only jewels worn by the bride were a set of combs with dia mond heads, a gift of the Arch- the Time? duchess Maria Theresa. The prince was clad in Maltese uniform, a brilliant scarlet court dress heavily decorated with gold. The ceremony was witnessed only by relatives of the bride and groom and their Immediate friends. These include the Duko and Duchess of Braganza, the groom's father and stepmother: Mrs. Smith, mother of the bride: Princess Adel- gonde of Bourbon, Countess Torrlng, Count Sigray, Count Czeckonico, Judge and Mrs. James Gerard, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Martin. At the conclusion of the wedding ceremony the register was signed. The witnesses for the bride were Miss Drexel and Rhinelander Stewart. As the wedding party drove away the band of the Highlanders played in turn the "Star Spangled Banner" ana tne national anthem of Austria. A mem ber of the Braganza family declared that the statement that Prince Miguel had renounced his claim to the throne of Portugal was erroneous. He ex plained that under the Portugese law tehre was no such thing as a morgan- tic marriaee. The only thing neces sary to legalize a marriage with a member of the Braganzia family is the consent of the head of the house of Braganza and the bride be a Roman Catholic. New Depot for Detroit. Detroit, Sept. 15. The common council last night adopted an ordinance embodying the terms of agreement be tween the city and the Michigan Cen tral railroad regarding the erection of a new depot to cost $2,000,000. The erection of the depot is expected to begin at once. CHANGING THEIR CROPS. Comirn Notes That Kansas Farmers Are Shifting; From Wheat to Corn, F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, gave out the fol lowing statement regarding the shift of the Kansas farmer from wheat to corn: "The agricultural statistics of Kan sas for the past year reveal some In teresting facts as to changes of crops and their acreages planted in the dif ferent counties. As examples there is a net increase in corn of 659,212 acres, and eighty-six counties planted more corn than in the preceding year, while eighty counties sowed less wheat There was an aggregate decrease of 508.617 acres in the wheat sowing "The shifting from wheat to corn in some of what have been regarded as especially wheat counties is very no- iiceaDie. aumner. ror instance, famed heretofore as being either first or sec ond in wheat diminished its sowing by 6b,uuo acres, ana now occupies but seventh place, while Increasing her corn planting more than 35,000 acres, and as a corn county occupies third pjace instead of elgnth. 1 "Barton county, with 261,008 acres, remains first in wheat, an increase ef 4,700 acres, but adds to her corn 11,020 acres; Rush, with 214,904 acres, is second in wheat, and Pawnee third. While Reno with 191,800 acres of wheat is fourth in that respect, many will be surpirsed to know that no other Kansas county plants so much corn, or. 203,289 acres. "After Reno the next counties in big corn acreage are Jewell, Sumner, Marshall, Smith, Nemaha and Sedg wick in the order named. These are pretty evenly divided as to the north ern and southern portions of the state, but are all, except Smith, in the east ern half. "In corn area 100.000 acres or more the six big counties in the west ern half of the state are Smith, Nor ton, Phillips, Graham, Decatur and Osborne, as named, and these, except ing Graham and Osborne, are in the extreme northern tire." The Weather Is Cool. "Chilly days hath September, Alle samee next November." Snakespeare. During the little end of last night, the temperature dropped to 55, and some women got up to bring in the potted plants. The cooler weather was predicted by the weather bureau, and came off as advertised. The fore cast is: "Generally fair and continued cool, so another day of the same may be expected.

New York Man Speaks on Ad ministration of Wealth. TRUST COMPANY DAY, Much Time Is Deroted to Their Consideration. Growth of Clearing House Sys tem Is Noted. Chicago, Sept. 15. Two Important divisions of the American Bankers association, the trust company section an dthe clearing house section met today In place of a session of tha main convention. Open discussion of details of th6 financial problems to be met in the trust companies and clearing houses occupied much of the time. In the trust company section Daniel S. Remsen of the New Tork bar. was scheduled to speak on the "Post Mor tem Administration of Wealth" and in the clearing house section different systems of clearing house work in various states were considered. Those not actively engaged in tha section work prepared for a trip to Gary, Ind., to visit the steel works. At tne clearing house section meet ing the report of the secretary of thin branch of the American Bankers as sociation, which is carrying on a vig orous campaign advocating tha an- pointing of clearing house examiners was read. "The advantages of this clan." tha report ran, "have been clearly set forth In many ways. It is conceded that the adoption of the plan would put banking on a higher plane and would be of lasting benefit to the pub lic. The campaign carried on by the section has certainly created senti ment in favor of this movement and is developing day by day. "Clearing House cities In which examiners are now in vogue are ss follows: Chicago. PhiladelDhia. St. Louis, San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo., the cities of Philadelphia and St. Joseph lately having fallen into line. ine section has now nnder con sideration the working out of a plan for a uniform method of reporting tha weekly exchanges by all the associa tions or the country and feels confi dent some system of accounting may be evolved which will be generally put Into force. 'The section has also startA tn a all in its power to suppress the busi ness known as 'note kiting by giving publicity to this business socalled brokers." Trenchant paragraphs from th a A. dres of Edward T. Perin. oronM.Tit f the Audit company of New York, held the attention of the trust company section. 'In all the figures which have been summarized," said Mr. Perin, "there la rone more satisfying, none more cofr vinclng of the fact that panic condi tions have been superseded by an era of real prosperity, than to know that vith only a siight increase In the num ber of trust companies, the total de posits for :909 have reached the import ant total of 3 billions, 567 millions of dollars, an Increase of 654 millions for the year, or 22 per cent and an In crease of 1 billion. 206 millions for tha five years which is an increase of 61 per cent." The address was replete with statis tics showing the condition of th v.rt- ous trust companies represented at tha section meeting. President Jackson of tha trust com pany section, said In Ms annual ad dress that in the 13 years of the sec tions' existence the wisdom of Its ex istence had been amply Justlflad. H said it has a members hi t of nearlv l.Oort companies representing resources of 4 .000,000,000. "We must remember." he continued, that every company bearing the word "trust" in Its name Is not admitted in membership; a scrutiny as careful as may bs had In such a large organisa tion is devoted to the standing of tha applicant, and while an earnest effort Is made to "bring to us legitimate in- itutioris, no welcome Is extended t companies transacting a business for- eign to our field." Daniel S. Rerr.sen. of the New York bar, speaking on the above subject. delivered a most Interesting address to the bankers today. Bpeaklnr of the writing of wills and the carrying out of their purposes he said: "Death Is the great conveyancer. To day we own our property, tomorrow death works a transmission to others. It fulfills tlr conditions upon which settlements and trust deeds depend. It sets In operation the law In Intestate succession and gives effect to wills. Thus in our own country property to the value of billions of dollars passes each year under some form of post mortem administration. In all such ad ministration trust companies have a peculiar interest. In the preparation of no legal docu ment is the Inaccurate use or location of a word or phrase more serious than in a will. Under the most favorablo conditions every person experiences difficulty In writing the Englis language so as to convey his exact meaning be- yrrrd the possibility of a misunderstand ing or a double reading. In testamen- ary writing this difficulty Is increasea ten fold for the writer must look Into the future and prepare an Instrument which is to deal with such conditions as time may bring to the testator, his family and estate. Americans do not appreciate xn value of constructive law. American lawyers and iaw schools need more to stimulate English patience and perse verance in the preparation ol tegal tioc- v ments. Their attention is rivetea upon he remedial at the expense or the con structive. While In case or aisaster the t, inner handling of a wreck Is as nec essary In law as at sea. constructive law is of equal u not greater puDiio utility for it Insures peace and pros perity and. In the case of wills, pre vents disruption of families and ruinous waste of assets. Constructive law should receive more attention than It has in the past and law schools should aim to turn out archltects-at-law as well as masters of the remedial arts.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1909. 2 AN EVENBREAK. Topeka Grabbed First Game With Wichita Score 8 to 2. But Dropped the Second a Pitchers Battle 3 to 1. 31G SHANER WON GAME For the First Time in World's History He Did It. Beillj's Home Run SaTed Coolej sox From Shutout. Honors were even at the doub'f,l,i" at the Topeka baseball park yesterday afternoon when the Wichita Izzies and the Topeka Cooleysox lined up in the final home series between the two clubs The local contingent got away w th the first by a score of 8 to 2 and The Izzies ran home with the last en counter by a score of 3 to 1. Both were brilliant affairs. Although play ed on a wet ground not a single bob ble was registered against either team during the entire eighteen innings. Can you beat it. the way they play ball '"Theirs"! game should have been a .hutout for the Izzies. But the kindli ness of heart on the part of Walter Boles decided that it should not be such Walter thought of the Izzies. away from home and in a hostile coun frv Mavbe some of them had friends and loved ones at home. All these thmgs accumulating in Walter's mind caused him to ease up a little at the nd and permit the Witches to cash in BnThefegoat for the Topeka hitters in the first contest was Adoniram Bren nan It is only fair to this Cincinnati person to say hat he has beer, sick for three weeks and only joined the team here yesterday. Brennan was natural 1v out of condition. Thirteen hits for ight runs was his paltry allowance to The home talent yesterday. Brennan has a generous soul anyhow, and the game was never in doubt. In the first inning the effects of three weeks of Idleness was shown on the control of this scintillating south paw. Wooley walked and Thomas Reillv sacrificed. Geier hit a hot one to right and Wooley tallied, Geier tak ing second on the heave home. Thomason's single was enough to score the rotund sunflelder. Three more happened In the third. Geier singled with one down and scored on Kunkel s double. Abbott ffkewise doubled and Honus scored Kahl hit hard enough to send Abbott hIethe fifth Thomason lifted one over White's head and pcored on a two-sacker by Sir Robert Kahl Kerns singled and Robert mutilated the plate with his spikes. Two "ns The other one came in the seventh inning. With one down Abbott doubled to left field, and soon stole third. Kahl wa Jke d and the two pulled off a double steal. That Abbott kid is certainly stealing the bases, if he keeps it up much longer Sandv Grlswold will be eePln wakS nights trying to devise some method Sy wlich R?d Fisher can keep at the head of the league. Wichita's only scoring was trans acted in the eighth. Brennan hit safe but was forced by Hughes Shaner proved fruit, but Boles talked Petti grew and Westcrzil filling the bases. Pennell was equal to the occasion ana two-sacker pushed two scores past Theg'ame was devoid of fielding fea tures, with the exception of a fast double plav incubated by Kahl and furthered along by Reilly with Abbott applying the finishing touches. Tlie Second Game, s long as Nisr Shaner lives he will remember the second game of yester dav afternoon, for at this time he furnished the one real big surprise of the local baseball season. Nig actual ly had it on the Topeka batters. Ever since baseball has been known in To peka Shaner has made a few visits to Topeka everv season and has always Trad the same luck. He was always wild and Ineffective. Once a few years ago he manager to secure a tie game, tut that is the nearest he ever came to winning. Yesterday's performance was such a marked contrast to his 1 revlous record in Topeka that words can not describe it. Anyhow, it was so unusual that the most conservative political dopesters will not hesitate to say that Kansas may soon turn Demo- This game was a real hard fought combat. Fortune smiled brightly on the Jobbers. A single turn or two of luck decided it. Kaufman pitched a brilliant game all the way through. So did Shaner. This astute gentleman from the Beerless Princes had smoke, curves and a great downward shoot on his spit ball. He kept Topeka's hits scattered. And had It not been for a beautiful home run drive over the left field fence bv Reilly in the ninth in ning he would have scored a shutout. This was the real hit of the game. Luck can sometimes accomplish l'.ore than brains. This accounts for Wichita's first run. In the fourth In ning Roxj' Middleton reeled off a sin gle to right field and annexed second. Kaufman fanned both Pettigrew and Westerzil. when the demon Pennell stepped to the plate. A conference in the center of the diamond resulted ".n a. plan to walk this Texan. Pennell was forced to take the dose. Then with "Whitey" White batting it look ed like a cinch. This blonde lifted a high one just back of second. It was high enough to get under on an ordi nary field, but Kahl couldn't get his spikes to catch in the terra inflrma and the ball fell safe. Middleton rcored.

He threw to first but couldn't put the "zip" on the throw and Middleton beat it out. Singles by Pettigrew and Westerzil scored two runs. Arthur Leander Pennell hit for two sacks but Westerzil was tagged st the plate on the throw from Geier re layed by Kahl.

He stood for considerable roasting at the hands of the rrmrH He missed several close ones on hulls. ana strikes, Dut aiflnt miss half the decisions for which he was roasted bv the crowd. A hundred fans were on hand when the first game started. When the oouoie neader ended the count show ed nearly a thousand. The number would have been double this had a. sufficiency of street cars been furnish ed by the powers -that be. Baseball makes street car business for six months in the year. The state fair only brings m a little pin money for six days. Then why the discrimina tion In favor of the state fair? Landreth was sick yesterday. He didn't get to the park in time, either. PURIFIES BAD BLOOD and Thomason who has just rejoined the team after an absence on sick leave performed well both In the field and at bat. Jokerst looks like a promising catcher. He was the pride -of Great Bend and the Kansas State league. The Izzies are crippled and there is some excuse for their present standing. Weaver is out of it for the rest of the season, with the same old asthma trouble. Holland isn't with the team. There wasn't anything in either game that looked like an error. Both teams occupied boxes at the Majestic theater last night, through the courtesy of the management. Sioux City 9, Omaha 4. Sioux City. Ia., Sept. 15. The Sioux hi, oftener and more timely than the Omahogs yesterday and won the game. The ame was a scrappy affair. Um pire Mullen, however, showed himself complete master of the game when he put both Harry Welch and Manager Holmes out of the game for disputing a decision. This is the first time this season an umpire has displayed enough nerve to put Holmes 'out of his own park. Chabek started the game for the locals but was easy for Omaha.

Sept. 15l John G. Heydler, president of the National league, plans for his organization to have the double umpire system again next season, his first move In this di rection being the engagement of Wil liam Brannon, recently an arbiter in the Wisconsin-Illinois league. Bran non .will le delegated to umpire games in the west and if he makes a good showing will be engaged. President Heydler started for Chi cago this afternoon, the probability being there will be an Important meeting of the National league In that city on Thursday to arrange the de tails of the coming world's champion ship series. While- Harry Pulliam was alive, his secretary, John Heydler, al ways was the National league's repre sentative. Heydler is now president of this body and a member of the na tional committee can not sit in his former capacity and either Frank C. Branfort, business manager of the Cincinnati club, or Charles G. W' Hams, treasurer of the Chicago club, will get the position formerly held by Heydler. There has been received at the National league headquarters a complaint by Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago club, against Klem being allowed to umpire any more games In the National league in which his team participates. Mr. Mur phy's protest Is so strong that perhaps it will be brought to the attention of the National commission. GRAND CIRCUIT RECORD. Darkey Hal Paced Second Heat in East Time of 2:02)4. Syracuse.

WHERE THEY PLAT TOMORROW Topeka at Wichita (two games) Denver at Pueblo, Omaha at Des Moines (two games;. Sioux City at Lincoln (two games) There is an interesting contest on for batting supremacy of two Topeka players Wright and Kaufman Neither are generally known as slug gers. Last June when Wright joined the Topeka team, he collected two or three safe hits right at tne start. Be ing a pitcher these few hits kept him up above the .300 mark for several days,. Sir Rasty in the meantime be coming real chesty about his hitting much to the disgust of Kicnara JK.au r man. Richard fostered the thought that he could hit better than Rasty. So he sent emissaries into the Wright camp, and after a few days of negotiations managed to secure a bet of a 35.00 Stetson, payable at the end of the season. The honors now are about even. Kaufman has a lit tle the edge by virtue of his hit yesterday. Wright came pretty close with his two at Des Moines Monday. Maybe some flay those Links will allow the opposing team to score a run or two. Five straight shutouts thus far have been marked up. To morrow the Sioux wili be in Lin coln. Most of the league would like to see the Links win two more shut outs.

RICE MERCANTILE Central Kansas this season,' is visiting baseball headquarters for a few days. While bouquets are being passed around there is one young man now umpiring In the Western league who Is deserving of a large one. This Is Mr. Mullen who Is umpiring af Sioux City. Ever since Mullen called Geier out for cutting third in the first game of the season, he has been suspected of having plenty of nerve and sand. This was ehown conclusively when Holmes and Welch, two of the Sioux City players, were put out of their own grounds. If such umpires as Mullen were sent to Sioux City all the time, there might be a different story to this pennant race now. and surely the feelings of the Topeka magnate would not have been so deeply wounded. Farthing, the young Lincoln pitcher, has won five out or nts lasi. six eames. McGrath, another young Lincoln twirler, will be in Washburn college this winter. Tnoir WaFk-ell in the Lincoln News: "Discipline and harmony come first on a ball club.

TVho does not know of the value of sage and sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft, glossy and in good condition? As a matter of fact, sulphur is a natural element of hair, and a deficiency of it in the hair i3 held by many scalp 6pe cialists to be connected with loss of color and vitality of the hair. Unques tionably, there is no .better remedy for hair and scalp troubles, especially prema ture grayness, than sage and sulphur, if properly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Company, 74 Cortlandt St., New York City, put up an ideal preparation of this kind, called W'yeth's Sage and Sulphur.

Mr. Blackburn was designated by the board at its last meeting personally to Inspect the situation here and report to the next board meeting in October. He does not,, pf course, wish to say ex actly what conclusions he reached as a result of his visit here, and does not know that the board officially w 11 share .them,, but he .said to .the Tele gram that he was greatly impressed with the farm, with the work, of Dl rector Reed, with the need of buildings, and with" the interest in adequate demonstration work at this station. Mr. Blackburn thought some of -thtse improvements' might be worked out without delay, while others would take time. It is probable that a new. house and barn will be built at the sattion, and, so far as it may be done without duplication by the Hays station demonstration on an enlarged scale will be undertaken beginning next spring. He was sorry a new 40-acre tract had not been broken up here this summer for fall use, and was told if the town had known of the desire f the board, this would have followed.

There is a deputy at Emporia who is making it uncomfortable for those who are violaing the law. Up at Chanute the other day this deputy warden whose name is Dan MacGowan, lay concealed abduction of Lorena Sutherland, 16 years old, a member of his congre gatlon, who mysteriously disappeared shortly after the minister left that place. Mrs. David Sutherland, the girl's mother, swore to the complaint. As soon as assurance is received that the minister is being held on the telegraphic notification of the war rant isued, Sheriff Latimer will leave for Waukegan to brinjr Stuckey and tne girl with him here. This action followed a reply to an inquiry from Miss Sutherland s par ents as to whether the party supposed to be Stuckey, whose detention at Waukegan was ordered yesterday Dy onicers from Hubbard, Tex., was accompanied by a girl. The reply states that the descrip tion of Lorena Sutherland tallies ex actly with that of a young woman ac companying the supposed Stuckey, ex cept that the girl's hair appears to have been bleached, Lorena Suther land's hair is black. The officers at Hubbard. Tex., who knew Stuckey from his rormer resi dence there were called into the case by the girl's father arter her disap pearance. They reported that they had traced the minister to Los An geles, and yesterday wired that he had been traced to Waukegan and ordered held there. Mrs. Stuckey said at Williamsburg this afternoon that she could not ex plain the latest Information about her husband.

P.- Hale and who said his home was in Io la, worked very clever graft- on the-people who were on 1 the railroad piatiorm wnen Santa Fe train No. 2 went through Hutchinson today. He had his hand in a sling and gave the story that he had been bitten by a rattlesnake north of Hutchinson while building a fire along the Rock Island tracks in that vlclnl y. "I had no money at the time," he said, "and after coming to Hutchinson it was through the charity of the' coun ty doctor that I was able to get tiie wound attended to. My home Is in Iola and I want to get there as quick as i can where I can get the medical attention which I need. He spoke in a pitiful tone of -voice, and from the money he was getting from bystanders must have had a very appealing effect. He said that the county had bought him a ticket to E u poria and that he wanted to get enough money to get from there to Iola. He boarded No. 2 east and an Investigation showed that the people who had helped him. had been worked again. The facts were that he had come to Hutchinson yesterday morning with the 101 Ranch show and had received his wound in a fight with some of the other showmen. He was a professional grafter and took the confidence of tne people as a means to get out of town. There was one man on hte platform who showed an extra display of sym pathy for the boy and who after-wares proved to be apaL. among the school children of Fort Scott and that at once," said Superintendent J. B. Stokesberry today. "No boy will oe arrestea ror it until ne has Desn warned, but if he insists on its us; after that time, he must be arrested the same as- the violator of any other law." The fight against the sale and use of tobacco among the boys of the city is to be taken up in a vigorous manner at once.-. At a meeting of the Janitors, of all of the different school buildings tney were given Instructions to posi tively prohibit the use of tobacco in aay manner among the school boys. Each of the janitors was sworn in as a spe cial policeman with power to make ar rests for any violation of law, and the Instructions given them were to warn a boy from using tobacco that he must not repeat the offense and to make an arrest if he should be caught in the act a second time.

RAILROAD NEWS. Unien Pacific Treasury Is Talk of Wall Street.' Its Condition at Harriman's Death Is Not Known. ON CREDIT OF THEU.P Dead Magnate Bought Clocks of Stock in Other Roads. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in New Tork, Sept. 15. With the deaUi of Mr. Harrlman Wall street is no- focusing it attention upon the "treaa ury" of the Union Pacific Railroad company. Just what is there at the present time is one of' the mysteries of high finance, for Mr. Harriman did -lot take any one into his confidence when he engaged in manipulating the huge blocks of stocks of other railroads. bought with funds and upon the credit of the Union Pacific system. Mr. Harriman so dominated the Union Pacific directory that it is prob able that not a single member of the board has accurate knowledge of -.he present condition of the treasury, or whether, the railroad Investment se curities have been sold or not. The directors are W. V. S. Thorae, Henry C. Frick, William G. Rockefeller. R. W. Goelet, Charles A. Peabody, R. S. Lovett, Frank A. Vanderlip and Wil liam Mahl. of New York: P. A. Valen tine, A. J. Earling and Marvin Hughiti, of Chicago; Oliver Ames, of Bostor, and Joseph F. Smith, of Salt Lak? City. As chairman of an executive com mittee, consisting of Messrs. Frick, Hughitt, Lovett and "Vanderlip, Mr. Harriman was supreme. He was op posed to a distribution of the Union Pa cific assets in that it .meant a curtail ment of his power, and no man ever had such power. Here is what ought to be in the Union Pacific treasury: $32,334,200 worth of Baltimore Onlo common. $7,206,000 worth of Baltimore Ohio preferred. $3,215,000 worth of Chicago Northwestern common, nearly $7,000,000 worth of Chicago, Mil waukee St. Paul common, $1,845,000 worth of Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul preferred, $14,285,000 worth of New York Central. $10,343,000 worth of Chi cago Alton stock. Altogether there should be nearly $80,060,000 worth of outside securities in the union ao:nc treasury. Mr. Harriman before his death liqui dated over $50,000,000 worth of securities in the open market, including $10,000,000 of Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe pre ferred, $37,500,000 of Southern Pacific fours, and the remainder of his hold ings In the Hill lines. This will make, with other securities, a melon of nearly $231,000,000 to be cut up.' This explains the seemingly remark able advance of nearly 13 points in Union Pacific preferred since yester day's low mark. The bid Union Pacific $50,000,000 pool in the- preferred ha come to life, and now- that Mr. Ha.Ti man is dead the members hope to share in the division of the big profits sup posed to be resting in the Union Pa cific treasury. Ready to Share in the Melon. The original pool was formed in Union Pacific preferred in 1904. Its managers were Jacob H. Schiff, Jan:es Stillman and Mr. Harriman. The sub scribers were largely William Rocke feller, his son. William G. Rockefeller, and others identified with Standard Oil. They bought heavily into the preferred stock and were in control and ready to have themselves declared in on tie melon above their 4 per cent provided for In the charter of the company, when Mr. Harriman balked. To hav permitted segregating would have been to step out of his dominant control of the stock market. He fought the men who sought to lessen his power, and his last interview was a pledge to the pub lic that the speculators in Union Pa cific preferred would not share In the assets. The actual condition of the Union Pa cific treasury at the present time will not show In the annual report issued next December. In fact, the public will not have even a chance of knowing of ficially In what condition Mr. Harri man left the finances of the key to his gigantic railroad system until a year from the coming December, or at the ciose or iiu.

The maintenance department practically has finished its work for the year and everything is in readiness for the inspection by Mr. Gould, who will be accompanied by a number of the executives and eastern financiers. DECREASE .J2T IDLE CARS. Railroad Men Are Greatly En couraged by Recent Conditions. Chicago, Sept. 15. Basing their opinions on the steadily increasing totals in tonnage and earnings, and on the rate at which the surplus of idle cars is being reduced, officials of the western, railroads continue ex tremely optimistic regarding the out look, and some of the large systems are already predicting record figures for the current fiscal year. Even taking into consideration the fact that the decrease in the amount of equipment purchased during the year would make a substantial difference in the .significance of a decrease in the amount of surplus cars at this time as compared with a year ago, the further reduction of 48,848 cars in the surplus is looked upon as a promising feature, bringing, as it does, the total surplus down to 110, 576 or less than one-half of the amount for the same period in 1908. SETTLE FREIGHT RATE CASE. Committee Tells Presidents to End Controversy by October 1. -Chicago, Sept. 15. If was today stated as probable that the import ant freight rate controversy among the eastern trunk lines will be set tled before October 1. The question of the Baltimore and Boston dif ferentials, which was the bone of contention, has been passed on by the import committee to the presi dents of the lines involved, with a request that it be settled before that date. In doing this the committee in formed the presidents that unless an early settlement is reached the whole eastern situation will become de moralized In 1910. The last cut made by the Boston and Maine went into effect on September 9. This again places Boston rates on an equal basis with Baltimore. The Baltimore Ohio and other roads affected have refrained from meeting this re duction, pending the action of the presidents. DEATH EFFECTS SUBWAY STOCK Dead Magnate Chief Stockholder in Chicago Institution. Chicago, Sept. 15. The death of Edward H. Harriman is directly re sponsible for a break today of about $5 per share in Chicago Subway com pany's stock in the Chicago market, and a similar slump in the New York exchange. Harriman, with J. Ogden Armour, the Chicago packer, and A. G. Wheeler of Chicago, were the chief stockholders in the company. While the earnings- of the Subway company have shown a steady im provement, they never have been sufficient to pay the bond interest, and the deficit had in the past been made up by Harriman and Armour. Now that Harriman is dead, the stockholders are wondering who will help make up the deficit, and this un certain state of affairs has caused some apprehension in local financial circles.

AN OPEN DOOR POUCT. Welcome news comes from Chicago to the effect that the Western Theater Managers' association has declared itself for the "open door" policy of booking plays and that during the coming season Its members will accept an offerings presented either by the theatrical syndicate, headed by Klaw Erlanger, or by the "independents" of which the efficient Shuberts are the controlling spirit. This plan may, be spoiled by a re fusal of the theatrical trust to book its plays in houses that are willing to book the "independent" shows, and vice versa, although the latter condi tion would not be likely to develop. But if It goes through without any hitch of this nature it will mean that the theater patrons in this section of the country will finally come Into their own and that they will have an op portunity to see the best in the way of theatrcial productions which ,are sent on the road. For many years past most of the theaters in the smaller cities of the west and in many of the larger ones for that matter have been under the domination of the Klaw Erlanger crowd. They have beep forced, for their own protection, if they were to get enough shows to pay them to oper a's their theaters at all, to enter into contracts which would preclude them from booking any plays not produced under the direction or indirect control of the trust. This has resulted in keeping some of the highest class of theatrical attractions from a public that is delighted to see and willing to pay (or the best that there is in the theatrical world. That this old agreement has finally been broken down speaks well for the Intelligence of the theater managers and their desire to serve their patrons. But If the Klaw .Erlanger aggrega tion should kick over the traces on it the situation really would not be much better than it has been in times past for this syndicate has under its control many of the more prominent actors, actresses, plays ai:d playwrights of this and other countries. Still the ranks of the "independents" are be ing strengthened with each succeed ing year, while the forces under the trust are being correspondingly weak ened. WOMEN AND OCCUPATIONS. Prof. W. I. Thomas, writing in the September American Magazine, claims that women are better when they work. He says: "But' I do not contend that women should go into the occupations so much because the occupations need them, though that is also true, as because of the need women have of the occupations. No one is al together either male or female. The life of men and women corresponds more than it differs. There is no mental function absent in either sex. The occupations represent modes in which the mind expresses itselt. They are the moral field, the field of will, of experience, of practice, and of concrete purpose. In this sense work is not a duty but a right. Society may not only claim service from the individual, but the individual may claim the right to function. "At present the strain on women even in the well-to-do families is in tolerable. Their isolation, the triviality of their interests and their dependence on the will of another make them nervous ana intensely personal, and merely to relieve the tension, if for nothing else, they should prepare themselves for an oc- c"Ja"" Za JS'Zt they do not enter marriage, which they may intermit in those intervals l; fc W... when the child is entirely neipiess, and which they can resume when the child is adult and departed. Such a preparation would not only overcome their feeling of dependence but would tend to make their choice in mar riage more rational. And I do not think the ideals of eugenics can be realized until woman is as free as man in the choice of a mate." ANOTHER ASSAULT OX HISTORY. Is there never to be an end to. the shattering, or the atempted destruction of the authenticity of the unusual in cidents and tales of history which have been handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth and qui! or pen, and which ever have been most cheerfully accepted as facts? Probably not. Perhaps just a beginning has been made and the slaughter is to be carried forward with vigor by those who finiZ it impossible to attract any attention to themselves unless they do something of this. sort. The latest instance of this character is efforts of a London publication called the Jewish World to whittle down the famous record of Methuseiah which has been reported for some time back at 969 years. This paper has It figured out to a nicety, and its own satisfaction, that this dis tinguished gentleman was really some thing of a youngster when he died, having merely attained the age of near ly 79 years. To be sure there has always existed a certain amount of doubt even among believers in the literal truth of the Bible concerning the great age to which the Jewish patriarchs are rec orded as having lived. But regardless of these doubts it has been par ticularly pleasing to consider the tales of longevity recorded in the Bible as pure, unadulterated facts. They encourage the hope that a time may come again and soon when folks will be able to live for a few hundred years or so, for there is no use denying the fact that the average life of. the present time Is altogether too short for, most persons. The Jewish World surmises, though, in the earliest times the month, the period of the moon cycle, was called a year. Thus, calculating a year at 29 days, Methuselah would be rob bed of his great record and would have been, as stated, but 78 years old when he died. Adam's 930 years would be cut to 75 and so on. The TOPEKA DAILY STATE paper goes on. to say that after the month year there came a five-month year, the limit of five being derived from the number of fingers on one hand, it being 'remembered that primitive people always used the fingers for counting purposes. And then came the twelve-month year. On me rive-month year basis old Father Abraham's 175 years' work out at 72 and Uncle Isaac's 180 years are re- duced to 74. .1 These are clever surmises and tneories to prmg the ages or the an- cient heroes in the race for the long life record within the confines of the three-score and ten years which David sang of as the span for natural life. To make this argument stronger, how ever, it would be well to work in a six-month year for the benefit of Jacob, who has been credited with tending his flocks for 147 years. That would put Jacob's age at 73. Indeed, in order to be quite consistent a two month, three-month, seven-month, or any old number of month year could be surmised for the purpose of bring' ing the long reputed age of each and everv Hlhlloai character in the ne.lh- A n. t. -A borhood of the three-score and ten mark, But enough of this.

JOURNAL ENTRIES Some problems are not easily solv ed even after their answers are known. It's generally the most desirable things of life which have to be given up. Most of the prizes at card parties are scarcely worth the efforts expend ed to win them. Just about all of the time a man wastes in shopping is devoted to wait ing for his change. Condolences, rather than congratu lations, are really In order when some marriage engagements are announced. JAYHAWKER JOTS Among the distinguished citizens of! Atchison :hese days is a gentleman who is afflicted with the barber's itch, The Emnoria Gazette notes that Wet- more is enjoying a building boom but :t wnii!d like to know of some Kansas town that isn't in the same substantial boat. The Chahute Tribune expresses the belief that the recent death of the aero- pianist, M. Lefever. has given a dignity ana earnestness 10 tne nviaung ousi ness. The Ottawa Herald thinks that Mar- ian Bleakley will -now remain in the itossession of her mother until the first persuasive young man in long trousers comes along. Kansas leads the world in- alfalfa production and the Ottawa Herald calls attention to the fact that she has quit smoking any of it in small, round, pa per-wrapped rolls.

We have never heard of a case where the weather was "teched" by the kick. It has the same effect as the refrain from a grumbling parent, school teacher or preacher. Don't grumble, we lose all our influence for good, and fall utterly, if we sink to a common scold. Pratt Union. Here's a little fable from the Spring Hill New Era: "Some people are like turtles. The turtle family has been resting for years on the laurels of its ancestor who outran the hare.

A story which has all the earmarks of heincr the truth is told by the Law renco World as follows: A wiaow or ZS got real romantic the other day down at Chanute and cast a bottle Into the Neosho, containing her name and address and a request that the finder please write.

The hackneyed proposition that a man can take Shakespeare and the Bible and reach a high state of culture, is true, old as the idea is. But few people read thoroughly. Even if they cut out the iignter notion, and stick by standard works, they skim. The old-fashioned reader who dug into a book and studied not only Its import and came to know It not only from the things it set aown but from the things it left unsaid, who sought not only the nar rative or the philosophy, but the art by which it was set forth, and the method used In presenting it, has passed. And yet the history of the race is full of men who in their read in sr. had but few books and mastered them, who made a good book, not an ac quaintance, but a friend and a coun sellor. With thousands of the present- day youth, that thought and the line of mental processes it inspires is in- comprehensible. We have ceased to be tnorougn. wicnjta .Eagle. THE TAIL WAGS. The Republican politicians 1 tnrougnout tne country are pro claiming that the Democrats have met at Saratoga. New York, to rejuvenate the Democratic party. They are carrying the news In bie headings on the first page and giving it plenty of prominence. They treat the matter as if the whole Demo cratic party were there, but a little inspection or tne news shows that just New Tork Democrats are a part of the disgruntled politicians that are in session at Saratoga. New Tork Democracy, be it remembered, is a tail that has sometimes wagged the dog. Western Democrats find It hard to distinguish the dividing line be tween this New Tork Democracy and the party of Cannon and Aldrich. Their deliberations are not indicative of the wish of the party of the whole country. Hutchinson Gazette. FROM OTHER PENS THE SCHOOL HOUSE.

Consider that your boys and girls spend 200 days each year for not less than ten years if they finish tne nign scnooi a.uoo days of five hours each in school buildings. is tne interior of your immediate schoolhouse in sanitary condition? Are the drinking water faucets and the retiring rooms kept cleanly?

Is the teacher on good terms with the child? She may be a fine instructor and yet her nerves be on edge, and she may not understand your nervous, Ehy little youngster. A friendly work of explanation may make them the best of friends, else child and teacher will have a year' of friction ahead.

Chicago Post. AMERICA'S CORN CROP. Uncle Sam's last figures indicate that this year's corn crop will amount to 2.648,000.000 bushels, unis is a deterioration of over 300,000,000 bushels in one month and puts an end to all talk about a bumper yield of corn in 1909. If these estimates shall prove to be accurate the final crop will be 20,000,000 bushels under that of -last year and 279,000.000 bushels less than the banner corn harvest of all time, which was in 1906. But last year the best tnat ssecre tarv Wilson could do on September 1 was to come with 73,000,000 bushels AeVtTmnt to the same ex- nowMSf wmteat for ifst year's September estimate was sa 000,000 bushels under the present prediction.

It is the merest truism to say that the war meant far more to the South than to the North. To the North it meant the preservation of the Union, the abolition of slavery and the well- cal party. To the South it meant dit.i mated families, smoking homesteads and the passing forever of a civiliza tion uniaue in recoraea history, liut literature loves a lost cause, provided honor be not lost. 'Hector, the leader of the defea-el Trojans; Hector, the warrior, slain in defense (of his own fireside, is the mo?: princely figure that the Greek Homer has portrayed. The Roman Virgil Its proud to trace the lineage of his people not back to the victorious Greeks, but on to the defeated Trojans. England's greatest poet laureate finds his amp'ejt Inspiration not in the victories of his Saxon ancestors over King Arthur, but in King Arthur himself and his peer less knights of the round table, van quished though they were in battln. And so it has always been the brave but unfortunate reap always the richest measure of literary immortality. And so, when brave men have fought for the right as God gave them to see the right, but fought in vain; when the bugles call no more, when the banners are tattered and trailing, whir the shouts of victory are forever hush ed and the miserere of defeat is chant ed over the graves of a burled army, when all. all. is lost save honor, it is then that the muses of poetry and song stoop from their celestial heights and lift the dear old lost cause up, up, into the unchanging realm of literature. "More than 2,000 years ago Leonidas and his 300 Spartans dared to confront the countless hordes of Xerxes. Ds- feated? Annihilated! But on the pages of the world s literature ar.a wherever heroic hearts respond to heroic deeds, Leonidas and his 300 st.il stand outlined against that Grecian sky, an incentive to valor. "More than fifty years ago Lord Cardigan and his 600 made the immor tal charge at Balaklava. Defeated? Annihilated! But on the pages of the world's literature and wherever heroic hearts respond to heroic deeds. Lord Cardigan and his dauntless 600 are rid ing yet. "More than forty years ago Picketl and his devoted followers 'made the heroic charge at Gettysburg. Defeated? Annihilated! But the time is coming It Is nearly here when on the page6 of the world's literature and wherever heroic hearts shall respond to heroic deeds, Pickett and his peerless band shall charge and charge forever. Thus, if history means anything. It means that, as the years go by, our na tional literature Is to be more and more permeated by southern history and southern traditions. Then, and not tl'l then, will be taken away our reproach tnat or naving a nistory, out an un written and an unknown history, for outhern history will then have been written in the living letters of a na tion's song and story."

Antarctic discovery, for the United States only is the watchword of the American Philosophical society, which has asked organizations interested in exploring to co-operate in petitioning the government to undertake the quest for the South Pole in a naval vessel. Lieut. Shackleton's exploit and tl-e proposal of Henry Savage Landor, Tvho would head an Anglo-American expedi tion, have renewed the. energies of those who believe that American en terprise should chart the unknown seas and lands of the south. The Philosophical society has begun an active campaign from its office in Philadelphia and has gained the co ODeration of several similar associa tions. The American Geographical s-- clety, of this city, is already on record In favor or the equipping or an expedi tion to the Antarctic. It calls attention to the fact that the first discovery in those latitudes was made by Rear Ad miral Wilkes, of the United States, in 1836, when he went In an American man-of-war upon his explorations. He at that time only reported on the sight ing of various headlands, without de termining whether they were those of a new continent or of Islands. Credit of taking the Initiative In the far south belongs to the United States, and the various learned societies are doing all they can to renew the interest of the government in the project. Of ficial representations will be made this fall, when there will be more oppor tunity of getting the formal vote of the organizations on the scheme. While it is possible that private citi zens will contribute to the funds for equipping such an expedition and tha; scientists would volunteer their aid, the promoters of the plank think that the navy should have the honor of finish ing the work which it commence! three-quarters of a century ago.

A manager, a- housekeeper, v a cook and twenty-six cowboys made up the complement at the Two-Bar ranch, and every one except tne manager was la. boring under suppressed excitement No orders had been promulgated, but ure oaiuraay anernon naa oeen de vottc by unanimous consent toward washing up. combing hair, and brin lng out white shirts and red necktie Two weeks previously, old Jim Brad- shaw, foreman, who was supposed to De aeep in the confidence of the man ager, had said to the storekeeper on Lame calf creek: "Tom, old Two-Bar is coming right to tne rront in a business way." "As to how?" "Going to have a telephone line over to tne railroad. "That ain't so much." "Going to fit up an office for the manager with desks and chairs, same. as a New Tork broker's office." "Nothing to brag of." 'Going to have a typewriting mk, cnine. Lots of folks got 'em." r And now hold your breath, vou old swindler, while I tell you the rest. We're going to have a girl to run the macmne. "No-0-0!" "It's a fact.' Coming from Chicanro. Smarter'n chain-lightning. She's going to oe stenographer ana typewriter. Tes, sir, she Is, and no other blamed ranch for a hundred miles around has got one. Old Two-Bar Is ahead on the game. "Well?" queried the storekeeper after a long pause. Well. I'm here to give you a tip. Tf you haven't got two dozen white shir Ui stock, send for them quicker than lightning. Send for red neckties. Send for silk handkerchiefs. Send for real cloth collars, and send for perfumery ana tonet soap." "Why?" -wny, you gaiootr .Because every man on our ranch is eoing to come ton ing over here and inquire for them very things, and Isn t going to worry about prices, either. Because why? Because every man is going to fall in love with that girl before she gets within a mile of the ranch, and is going to dress up ana let ner see wnat a Jim-dandy he is. j. nere can t but one man marrv her, and the rest of the gang will shoot mm." It was a tin. The shirts and other things were sent for, and the boys loped over. orty-nlne cent white shu went for a dollar and a half and no questions asked. Perfumery and ha'r ii met witn a nrm market. ted neck ties were in great demand. And now the great day had finally arrived. Old Tom had been sent over to the raidroad with the buckboard to bring back the young woman and her trunk. Every man had volunteered to make the trip, and when Old Tom had been selected the gang gathered around him and Its spokesman said: There s got to be a square deal or bloodshed. No flirting or soft talk to get ahead of the rest of us. Tou've got an old woman down on the Brazos, Tom, and if you don't own up to. that girl that you have, off comes your scalp." Four hours later the buckboard was sighted with a field glass. Fifteen minutes after the announcement, it could be made out with the naked eye. While it was still a mile away the cow boys formed in double line along the road to the house. At -half a mile they removed their hats and puffed out their shirt fronts. At twenty rods their red neckties blushed furiously. And now Old Tom, having the dignity of a Roman senator, drove the vehicle between the lines, and the veiled lady bowed right and left as every man bent his head and scraped his rignt root. Nothing further could have been de sired bv the most critical. "And what does she look like?" was demanded of Old Tom as he reached the stables, where they waited for him, "Boys, she's cute; she's a looker. She's going to set hearts afire and cause forty different murders. Tou might Just as well go into convention and resolve that every galoot of you is going to fall head over heels in love with her at first signt. Old Tom's prediction was fulfilled. Every man as he got sight of Miss Glazier fell in love with her, or thought he did. In a week discipline was lax; in a fortnight there was none at all. Every cowboy on the ranch wanted to sit around looking pretty, and the Chinese cook didn't have time to wash half the white shirts awaiting him. Old Tom stormed and the man ager complained, but things continued at sixes and sevens. Few of the men could make an errand at the office. It was only while the typist was walking out that thev had signt or ner. inrca fnnr c-ot uo the nerve to approach her, and the bearing and language of ail or tnem was uu.o. iuc and scraped and cleared their throats and said: "Good evening, marm. I m hoping I see you well, marm. I'm hoping tiN country appeals to you.

And Miss Glazier would smile and blush and reply that she liked the country and the people and the cattle and the wolves and Jack rabbits, and the man would back away bowing to the ground, to assert to his comrades in. waiting that he had made an Im pression and to be called a liar for he statement- Cowboys came from other ranciwf. but were run off as fast as they ap peared Travelers rode out of their way, but were discouraged. At the end of three months the Two-Bar ranch had the reputation of being at loose ends, and the manager's quarterly re port elicited the following reply from eastern stockholders: "Not at all satisfactory. What Is the matter out there?" "I have a stenographer and typist," was telegraphed back. "Then discharge or marry her," were the instructions. The manager was a man of action He had never discharged a stenog rapher from his employ, and he w -s not going to begin then not if Miss Glazier would accept him and the other alternative. She blushed and said she would, but wanted to go back to Chi cago for a couple of weeks to see her mother. The men got hold of the news an hour later. That Is, Old Tom told them separately and collectively that any of them who wanted to bid the angel good-by would find her in the office awaiting them. It was white shiits and red neckties again. It was more hair oil and perfumery. They sa'd nothing to each other, but they read each other's thoughts. If a husband could keep that poor girl at Two-Bar she should have one. It was Old Tom who lined them up and sent in the first man. The first man had his speech all ready. So did the Becond. the third and down to the last, and those speeches were all alike. They began with a bo and a kick and a lump In the throat, and proceeded: "I hears, marm t hears that you ar going away for to dwell in our midtt no more?" "Yes, I am going back to Chicago." During you stay here,, marm. yoa may have observed you may have taken notice that I have aat my eye on you as often as possible, and that with the greatest possible respect.

I a r. t educated, but Til never ask for a divorce." And the reply each one received was the same. "J 'eel honored, but must tell you that I am to marry the manager on my return." And when the last had filed in and filed out, Old Tom suddenly broke forth: "Now, you cross-eyed, lop-shouldered, knock-kneed gang of galoots, the turtle doves have got through cooing.

Dainty and New By Rain Left Outside for Lack of Roe in Congestion of Freight Trains- Need Cut-Off. The fact that the Union Paciflo freight depot has been often congest ed with merchandise lately gives ground for a story which is being told In railroad circles, that a new freight depot is to be erected west of the pres ent structure in the near future. While this can not be officially confirmed It fa well known that a larger storage place has been needed for some time. This was forcibly brought to attention Monday night when the rain dam aged considerable quantity of goods which had been stored on the plat form for lack of room In the building. The men at the depot did their best to protect the goods and get them un der cover, but it is thought that a large number of claims will be filed against the company because of the damage resulting. The freight traffic is also said to be much congested and shows need for the Calhoun Bluff cut-off. It is possible that this traffic will be so much increased when the Onaga ex tension is finished that it will be ne cessary to put on a night switch engine and crew. Notes and Personals.

It might be asked how could they help it? The display of machinery by the Ii ternational Harvester Co. and the Volk Manufacturing Co., both Topeka firms, have attracted consideration attention at the fair.

"More progress has been made in China in the last five years than In any century pre vious, and it is this country's duty to see that the phenomenal advancement is continued." Charles R. Crane, envoy extraordi nary and minister plenipotentiary of the united states to China, thus sum med un his views of the country in which he will represent the United States, in an address to 160 statesmen and business men at a luncheon given by the Illinois Manufacturers' associa tion in the gold room of the Congress hotel. Mr. Cranefl in a short address, said: "Anything for the welfare of China is for our welfare. This is the thought we must keep In mind in our relations with China. It will be my endeavor to keep the trade door open. We must help her, and keep her from be ing Imposed on and lend her our as sistance in her various needed re forms.

Has Spread Its Wings Over the Boun daries of Peru and Bolivia. Rid Janeiro, Sept. 15. The Journal of Commerce, in its issue of yesterday said that telegrams from' the Pacific coast announced that an agreemen between the governments of Peru and Bolivia on the recent boundary dispute wluch at one time threatened to plunge these states into war, had been, or was on the point of being signed. The basis of the understanding Is the decision in this dispute handed down by President Alcorta of Argentina on July 9, last and this decision is, by the terms of the new agreement, recognized by Boli via. Continuing the Journal of Commerce gives details of the understanding. Feru surrenders to Bolivia a very small extent of territory lying between the Med re de Dios river and the Acre, traversed by the rivers Tahuamano and Buyamaro, which together form the river Orton, an affluent of the Bonl river. This territory with an area of about 6,500 square kilometers, was dis covered and colonized by Bolivians who today are in possession of numer ous prosperous Industries there. Peru gets possession of all the upper course of the Madre de Dios from its head waters to Its confluence with the river Heuth. Such a slight modification as the foregoing from the decision reached by the arbitrator in no way molests the Argentine Repurlic. The work of an arbitrator terminates when he has communicated his finding, and Argen tina has no objection to a generous re linquishment of territory on the part of Peru, an aot undertaken to assure friendly relations between Feru and Bolivia. Conciliatory arrangements deserve the approbation of all who desire peace and concord in South America, and we are persuaded that Argentine Is sincerely' desirous of seeing a policy of peace carried out. It has been said mat tne non-accepr,- ance of an arbitral decision amounts to an offense to the arbitrator, but it is not necessary io look outside of South America for a precedent in which an arbitrator has not shown of fense when his findings were ignored. The president of the French republic decided a frontier question Detween Colombia and Costa Rica, only to find that his Judment was accepted by neither party. In this same case, Col ombia and Costa Rica decided virtual ly to modify -their frontiers, and ne gotiations to this and were in prog ress when the impendence of Panama n:ade their continuance useless. The sentence of the queen regent of Spain in the frontier question between Col ombia and Venezuela, was almost a complete victory for Colombia. Vene zuela did not want to accept the find ing and Spain neither protested nor in dicated tnat sue was oixenciea. Vene zuela and Colombia have just signed a treaty setting the soveralgnty, In favor of Venezuela, of a vast stretch of ter ritory on the right bank of the Rio Negro. In the Ceruttl question between Col ombia and Italy, the arbitrator, who was Grover Cleveland, decided in favor of Italy. The diplomatic representative of Colombia at Washington, In an of ficial note, declared that his govern ment could not accept this decision. But the American government did not expel the Colombian government, nor did it strive to impose tne sentence ot the arbitrator upon Colombia. We be lieve that the Brazilian government, the Journal of Commerce continues. In no way participated in the negotia tions that have been conducted at La- Paz, and Lima, and furthermore we are aware that the Peruian govern ment has recoginzed and declared its belief in the correctness of the course Brazil in this question. Public opinion in Brazil is sincerely desirous that Peru In the Interest of peace and con cord show herself friendly to Bolivia, i'.tt neighbor and forr-r nlly, and con cede to her the little she asks. Such a ste-n would mean no Important sacri flees to Peru, nor would it show any lack of courtesy to the Argentine. The essential thing for South America Is that the present complications and difficulties be done away with as soon as possible. It is today Impossible to forecast the dangerous consequences of a continuance of the recent situation. Ihe present difficulty once composed, the road will be open for a reconcilia tion between Argentina and Bolivia which, it is. to be hoped, other nations also will follow. Baseball Pbone.

In speaking of the matter today one of the prominent business men of the city said: a "This retarded action on the part or the railroads running in Topeka is what creates o much sentiment against them and is what makes the people fight the railroads as they have done before. Since the two cent fare and several other favors to this city, the people have been very friendly to the railroad systems represented here, but this discrimination is only educating the people to light the railroads.

Today the children of the public schools got down to serious work. With the state wide fair, and Buffalo Bill wild west show in full swing today, in the minds of the pupils a hardship wa. being worked upon them by making them endeavor to put their minds on anything but matters pertaining to pleasure. As a matter of fact on ac count of the many attractions which Topeka is and has been enjoying, in cluding especially the free children's afternoon at the state wide fair yester day, the pupils were decidedly delin quent in regard to enrolling, as shown by the reports which have been turned in at the office of Superintendent L. D. Whittemore. The total enrollment of the city schools for the first day was 5.456 is, against 5,884 last year, a decrease of 428. This decrease is not looked upon seriously, but on the other hand it is expected that by Friday evening when a second report is made, the total en rollment will exceed that of last year. At the high school the enrollment yesterday was 901, about a hundred le.v than it was a year ago. It is expect -A Plttsfleld, Mass., Sept. 15. Presi dent Taft's train reached here at 2:30 p. m. today and stopped six minutes. The president was presented with a five foot floral wreath by the Mer hcants' association in honor of his fifty-second birthday. The president made a few remarks from the plat form. In his address at Springfield, Mass., the president said: "I am very much pleased to be In Springfield. Tou pride yourselves on a city of fine homes. It is also a city of traveling wmen who go through the entire length and breadth of the Union selling their wares. I like to talk to that class of men. I am a sort of itinerant preacher myself. I am bringing a message of good will to all. I am starting on a long Journey. Whether my throat and digestion will last, I don't know. "As you know the people have voted me $25,000 for traveling expenses. Congressman Gillette helped me get that. It is very hard to get anything from the appropriations committee un less you have a mighty good case." The president then referred to the work of the executive and concluded by saying: a, i. "The bulwarks of this- government are the men you elect to congress. Goodbye." At Worcester, President'Taft said: "I feel very much at home in Wor cester county. All my ancestors have come from Worcester county on both sides, way back. The first one who came here was a house wright a car penter. My father, who was interest ed in genealogy, had a great deal to explain in telling how it was that when he signed his will he signed it with a cross. He always said he had hurt his hand with a hatchet and therefore could not use the pencil. But his wife, Sarah Taft, signed hers in her own name, which only shows that what helps out In a family Is to have ths women of it understand things." LOCAL MENTION.

It's a Good Trade to leave off coffee and take on POSTUM There's a Reason" Topeka will at last have the oppor tunity of seeing at least one show. Barnum Bailey couldn't show here on account of the excessive moisture, but Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill with their Wild West and Far East combination are here and will show. The show ar rived in Topeka during the wee small hours of the morig and unloaded, going to Skene's park where the show started its first performance this after noon at 2 o'clock and will show again at 8 o'clock tonight. Col. W. F. Cody, who is known all over the world as Buffalo Bill is here, as is also Pawnee Bill, whose real name is Major Gordon W. Li lilt. Both will be seen in the different per formances. v Topeka folk were rather dis appointed this morning when the merged shows ailed to parade Kan sas avenue. Buffalo Bill has been re formed or something of that kind. Anyhow he has ceased to believe in the virtues of parades. "It tires the men and the "horses, so that their best efforts cannot be realized in the two performances of the day." said CoL Cody this morning. And he is prob ably right. The attendance at the show this afternoon is large. There is some An tagonism towards the state fair on ac count of the refusal to give rain checks yesterday, and Buffalo Bill's attract'on furnishes the disgruntled nonresidents a chance to "get even." The attend ance tonight should be large, too, as it undoubtedly will. The grounds are not muddy and the weather is all that could be desired. And the show is a good one worth seeing.

N. F. Com mander Robert E. Pear, who Is still at Battle Harbor on board the steamer Roosevelt, conversed further today with the-Associated Press representa tive regarding his Journey to the North pole. He spoke particularly of the flags he raised at the pole and the records he left there and he touched aagln on some of the assertions credit ed to Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Commander Peary said that when he reached the pole the first flag thrown to the breeze" was a silken American emblem presented to him b-- his wife 15 years ago. He had car ried this flag on every one of his ex peditions to the north, leaving a piece of it at the highest point he attained. The last remnants were raised and left at the pole. The explorer then raised the navy ensign, the flag of the Navy league, then the flag 6f the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and finally a flag of peace. Tent poles and snow lances were used as flagstaffs and when If had been raised the comman der took several photographs of the group. After this ceremony Peary en closed records of his trip and other documents and personal papers in a box and bried It in the ice.. The docu ments were placed in water tight cov erings arid the box itself was water tight so it would float if the shifting or melting ice brought it to water. Commander Peary has not developed the films he took to the pole. Refer ring to the weather conditions at the apex of the world. Commander Peary said he found nothing like the revolv ing wind referred to by Antarctic ex plorers. The weather conditions varied from time to time, although there was probably considerable uniformity. He would not say whether or not he found currents at the Dole. Commander Peary today received a cablegram asKing mm 10 inaio a statement j regarding a re port from a TJanish source that he had posted a notice on the flreenland coast to the effect that Dr, Cook was dead," making this notice a pretext for the appropriation oi ur. Cook's supplies. .The explorer said to the Associated JPress represtative that he knew nothing of it; that it evident ly was a newspaper publication. He expects to be quoted erroneously in the press as making a variety of statements. Talks No More of Cook. Commander Peary' has said already all he Intends tosay regarding Dr. Cook. His statement dictated to the Associated Press covers this subjet fully for the present. Peary did not see the beginning or the ending of the solar eclipse; the prt he did See was obscured by clouds. He said he had experienced no earthquakes in the Polar regions, explaining at the ame time that IV. would be difficult to recognize such occurrences because of the movement or tne ice ana tne con tinual grinding noise resulting there from. The Roosevelt has on board a valu able collection of mineral and geologi cal samples and speciments of northern bird, plant and animal life for the museum of natural history. In referring to the reception being planned for him when he reaches home Commander Peary asked the Associated Press to publish the following state ment "From such fragmentary reports as I have received I am more touched, grat ified and honored than I can say at the way the public has treated my work."

A sliding scale of penalization for automobile speeders was mado effective today by the board of trusteesof trustees of Kenil worth, a rnorth shore suburb. Hereafter any motorist who drives his car through Kenilworth faster than 20 miles an hour and slower than 25 miles an hour will be fined a dollar a mile: that Is. he will be fined $22 for running 22 miles an hour, for ex ample. If the speed Is between 25 and 30 miles, the fine will be $2 a mile. Above SO miles the minimum fine will be noo.

Reported They Are Operating at the Fair. Woman Has Attack of Heart Disease at Station. The almost inevitable differences and rows between concessionaires at fairs has come into the immature pike at the State Wide Fair and a negro's head had to be sewed up with five stitches as a result of club swinging by W. C. Senior. whrt eats and takes nls WIG II1U J"Ir'" M after dinner smoke under the surface of the water. rircus of local fame has a right on the ground and Jake's brother hung about, tie aisu merry-go-round without paying. -cusing himself by stating that the was one of the concessionaires. Still the proprietor of the merry machine would kni'n r sn a rf him. The water nymph took the part of the proprietor in the ejection or me negru who later passed Mr. Senior and lav ished uncommon names upon him. The nymph arose and in his hand he heid a club. Then Lacy was taken to ih Keith hospital to get his head see.l up W C Senior was hauled to tlis station.' and into police court where he was fined $25. Later reports say that the water sprite has left the city, disturbed by the sentiment of the colored roats which was adverse to his welfare. A brother of the nymph, however, can do his trick equally as well and the pike show is not destined to suffer. As a result of a number of warrants issued by the police judge and bearing the name of John Doe distributed among the detectives who work the fair grounds during the fair to serve upon any one caught selling liquor or pur posed of doing so, N. Newton, a vet eran horseman, and Slim Harding, a colored man, are due to a trial in the court. Newton has charge of a barn wnere much drinking was in progress. Slim Harding is charged with bootlegging. Chief Eaton, Sergeant Ross, Hutton, Mead, and Gilbert were responsible for the arrests. Trial has been set for the 20th. The Indians have descended upon the city from their reservation at Mayetta. They have come in numbers to see the Wild West show of the Two Bills, hop ing to restore some of their original free air spirits and get drunk if possi ble. The latter object is destined to Jhwart the first. Four of the braves ere already locked up in the city prison ..Addison Chofey, Jo Cully, Foggie, Jo .Agremee are the first victims. Chofey s a young buck. He was fined $10. He paid it and then started out but he was happy even though it was all the money he had and he did not feel mean about it. Rather he laughed long and I oisily, then he thought he wanted a c'gar so he went back to the Judge end he said, Now you have taken all my money but I want a smoke, give me a nickel for a cigar. But the Judge did not hear and he walked away only to return acaln with the same plea and to be again refused attention Finally he thought he was on the wrong track and he pleaded for a nickel to get a sandwich but the judge held on to even that last nickel, told the Indian to keep still as court was still in session or he would be locked up. And lo, the poor Indian was Jerked out of the room by a guard and walked dejectedly away. Thus it is with the lover or the firewater. The theft of four boxes of cigars n-akes another item from the Agustin Alba chili parlors. Will Redman was designated as the guilty party to Offi cers Wonderly and Wyatt last evening snd was taken to the jail. A more for mal arrest was made this morning v. ben Alba swore to a complaint and a warrant was Issued. The cigars are valued at $10. When Mrs. H. M.- Presnell with her little girl called to see her husband confined on a fine for disorderly conduct last evening, she fell to the floor, an almost lifeless heap from heart fail ure. The wife and mother was carried to a cot In the Jail hospital ward and Mrs. Thorpe, matron, and other aid summoned. The woman was revived slowly and the girl of 3 years ran cry ing at the top of her voice through the halls, refusing consolation. The woman was dressed shabbily and looked worn out from work and worry. The little girl gave evidei.ee of much rrfotherly attention In spite or the obvious pov erty and ill health of the mother and wore a pretty blue dress, was clean and well cared for. It was learned that he man was ar rested at the request of the woman to restrain him from his cruel treatment of her. The couple have not lived to gether for some time. She had come to the Jail to ask the Judge for a per n-anent order, fearing he would come to her when his fine was served out and punish her. She was advised to see the county attorney or get a divorce and had started away when he met her husband. What was said or passed fcetween tnem is not Known. AND NOW THE HORSES. Their Drinking. Troughs Are to Be Protected From Germs. Chicago, Sept. 16. Public watering troughs for horses were condemned by the state veterinarian of Missouri, Dr. F. D.

For that reason, Mr. E. D. Prichard, mayor of the town, called at the attorney general's office for help. From his conversation it may be gathered that his town is in the hands of a bunch of bad men. About September Z, a pair of bad citizens, loaded to tne taft rail with alcholic stimulants, started something on the main street of Fall River. The city marshall sallied forth to pre serve whatever peace and quiet might be left, and seeing the size and num ber of the bad ones, deputized a peaceable citizen to assist in arresting them. They sailed In. and it is infer red that the town officer exhibited a streak of old gold. Not so, however, with the citizen who was deputized. He waded in, unarmed, and proceed ed to pound the stuffing out of the bad men. He had sundued one of them when a "vast mob," containing probably half a dozen, rescued the prisoners. The next day the bad one who had been pounded, Bwore out a complaint against the strong armed citizen-officer, who was haled before a Justice of the peace and fined $10 and costs for assault. In vain he pro tested that he was acting in an of ficial capacity when Tie pounded the offender, but the court took cogni zance of the fact that no arrest had been made. and. explanations about the "vast mob" who rescued said of fenders, was wasted upon him. The next night unknown persons, presum ably members of the vast mob, burn ed the town Jail. The golden stripe in the city marshal broadened percep tibly and he resigned. The mayor appointed another marshal, and the new official tried to make the late marshal swear out n complaint against the disturbers and suspects. And the ex-officer refused. A town meeting was called, and it was decid ed to build a cement jail, but since that time the mayor has received sev eral anonymous letters which threat en a course of dynamite for any new bastile. And thus the matter stands. Fall River, bereft of its Jati, and doubting the permanence of a new structure, and the "bad" crowd openly defiant. Mayor Prichard feels that the gov ernor should offer n reward for the Jail burners, and that the attorney general should take a wand In the game. He assures the state officials that the booze-fighters of his town did not get their refreshments from local dealers, as the town is quite dry. Governor Stubbs is out of the city today. He may call out the Stand ing Army when he gets back, and pro tect the Greenwood county village. "9 THE WEATHER BUREAU Withholds Verdict In Oook-Peary Con troversy Until AH Returns Are In. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 16. William L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau, who is here on a trip of inspection, has contributed a brief statement to the Cook-Peary controversy. Speaking for the National Geographic society, of which he Is president, Mr. Moore said: "The geographical society 1b abso lutely nonpartisan in its attitude to ward the two explorers. It-will with hold its verdict -until all data has been carefully considered and then will make an Impartial finding. The atti tude of the geodetic board is similarly neutral. We are pained that this de plorable controversy should have arisen, for both Cook and Peary are American explorers and intrepid and resolute men. The discovery of the pole is a great victory for American brain and brawn." CHAMPION FISH STORY. Ex-Congressman Catches 839 Pounds Oil Catalina Usands. Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Cal., Sept. 15.

E. S. Quinton Will Test Right to Con trol Auto Lights. A clash of powers echoed in the po lice court this morning between E. R. Quinton. a prominent attorney, and Chief of Police R. W. Eaton. It was all over the matter of the tail light en the attorney's automobile. The white side light of the lamp did not reflect on the number of the machine last night nor for some time past and the lawyer, brought Into court this morn ing, was fined $5. This fine, the attorney alleged, was obtaining money under false pretenae on the ground that he had been told by the city attorney that no warrant would be issued against him. There fore he filed a motion to quash the complaint but the motion was over ruled. The chief says Mr. Quinton was te'd a week ago last Friday to so change the position of his rear lamp that the white light would reflect on the num ber and was given time to comply with the ordinance. It was observed t:at this had never been done and a war rant brought the attorney into court. The chief says also that he has been told by several of his men that the lawyer said he did not have to charge his number. His stand on refusing to change his number Is that the ordinance is uncon stitutional, which small matter he wi'l prove. The section of tne ordinance applying to the rear lights is section 3, whLh reads: "Every motor vehicle, except mortor cycles, shall carry, during tne period from an hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise, at least twe lighted lamps showing' white ligh-S visible at least two hundred feet in the direction toward which such motor ve hicle is proceeding, and also shall ex hibit at least one lantern to the rear being so constructed and placed that a side light will reflect the number." The argument as outlined will be th defense that a man shall not be com pelled to incriminate himself in tne sight of the law. Now should a man be compelled to throw a light on his num ber and should then run down or run over some one or get into a wreck, he would have given the officers a direct clue by which to find the guilty pa.ty and would certainly incriminate him self. Therefore he should not be com pelled to place on exhibition the num ber of his machine. The case was appealed to the district court. The appeal bond was signed by Arthur Capper.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALS-WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1909.' TAFT FIRST WORD President's Initial Speech of Tour Had Last Night. Favors Central Bank as Step in Cnrreacy Reform. f V COMMENDS ALDRICH. Approves His Flan to Enlighten People on Monetary Qnestion. Deplores Attempt to Stir Tip Sectional Strife. Boston, Sept. 15. President Taft left Boston today at 10:03 a. m. His train formed the second section of the. regular express train from Bos ton to Albany over the Boston Al bany division of the New York Cen tral railway. Boston. Sept. 15. Face to face with almost 2.000 representative men of Boston. President W. H. Taft stood in Mechanics hall last night at the beginning of a 13,000 mile tour of .the country which will carry him through two-thirds of the states of the Union and will extend from Bos ,ton to Seattle, from St. Louis to New Orleans and El Paso back to the capital at Washington. The banauet hour was 7:30 d. m., with a reception to President Taft preceding, but as early as 5 o'clock Impatient persons were at the doors waiting chances to enter, for the galleries were reserved for spectators. The president who had arrived from Beverly late In the afternoon had apartments at the Hotel Tour aine. At the appointed time under escort of the National Lancers he proceeded to the Mechanics building. The streets about the hall entrance were thronged when the cavalry drew up. Loud cheering signalled to those Inside the building that the president had arrived and almost im mediately the reception was in pro gress. President Taffs address tonight was his first public utterance since congress adjourned. The feature of the president's ad dress were his endorsement of the proposition to establish a central bank in connection with currency re form his words of high praise of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, head of the national monetary commission and his repudiation of any attempt to start sectional strife In the country such as that which he attributed to Governor Johnson in "calling upon the west to organize against the east." Among the guests were cabinet members, diplomats, congressmen, clergymen and business leaders. Distinguished guests from national and state political life from the judiciary of the nation and state, from army and navy and congress and from local church, civil and busi ness circles were present. The in vited guests Included: "General Carlos Garcia Velez, Cuban minister; Senor Don Epifanlc Portela, Argentine minister; secretary of the navy, George Von L. Meyer; secretary of commerce and labor Charles Nagel; Justice Oliver W. Holmes of the United States supreme court; U. S. Senator W. Murray Crane. Massachusetts; United States Senator Henry E.

Hibbard of Boston; Allen T. Tread way, speaker of Massachusetts senate; Joseph Walker, speaker of Massachusetts house; William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for Panama commission, and United States District Attorney Asa P. French. Talks of Journey. In his address President Taft said: "I am on the eve of beginning a Jour ney of thirteen thousand miles in length," he said, "which will enab.e me to see tens and hundreds of thou sands of my fellow citizens, and enable them, I hope, to see me. Occasionally I hear a queery, why I should start off on such a trip and 'what particular good does It do to anybody?' Well it certainly Is not going, to be a pleas ure trip, although I shall enjoy it. Xt will involve much hard work and a great deal of mental effort to think of things to say and to say them simply and clearly, so that they can be un derstood. On the other hand it will certainly give me a very much moie accurate impression as to the views of t the people in the sections which I visit. It will bring closely to me the needs of particular sections, so far as national legislative and executive action are i concerned, and I believe It will mnkt? me a wiser man and a better public officer. I ought to be able to explain to the people some of the difficulties of government and some of the problems for solution from the standpoint of t'.ie executive and legislator, as distinguish ed from that of the honest, but Irre sponsible critic. The personal touch between the people and the men to whom they temporarily delegate powr Of course conduces to a better sanding between them. "This Is the time when, looking for ward to the coming again of congress in December one must consider the needs" of the country so far as they may be relieved by legislation and at tempt to state what that legislate. should be. "In the first place there Is the mone tary situation. While it is probable that the Vreeland bill, passed by the last congress, would aid us in case of another financial crash. It is certain that our banking and monetary system Is a patched up affair which satisfies nobody. The matter has been referred by congress to a monetary commission which has been studying the financia' and banking systems of Europe. "It Is quite apparent from the state the house of representatives, and from the conversation of Mr. Aldrich, chair man of the monetary commission a.id of the finance committee of the senate, that the trend of minds of the mone tary commission Is toward some sort of arrangement fr a central bank of issue, which shall control the reserve and exercise a power to meet and con trol the casual stringency which fr!m time to time will come In the circulat ing medium of the country and. the world. Need of Central Bank. "Mr. Aldrich states that there are two indispensable requirements in any plan to be adopted involving a central bank of issue. The one is that the control of the monetary system shall De Kept free from Wall street in fluences and the other that It shall not be manipulated for political pur poses. .There are two principles to which we can all subscribe. It is quite possible the report of the com mission of a definite decision may be delayed beyond the next session of congress. Meantime the members of the commission intend to institute a campaign of education in order to arouse: public opinion to the necessity of a change in our monetary and banking systems and to the advan- tages that will arise from placing some form of control over the money market and the reserve in the hands of an intelligent body of financiers re sponsible to the government. I am told that Mr. Aldrich will 'swing around the circle' In the pres ent fall and will ecture In many of the cities of the middle west on- the defects and needs of our monetary systems. I can not too strongly ap prove of this proposal. Mr. Aldrich, who is the leader of the senate and certainly one of the ablest statemen In financial matter in either house has been regarded with deep suspicion by many people especially in the west, if with his clear cut ideas and simple but effective style of speaking, he makes apparent to the western peo pie what I believe to be his earnest desire to aid the people and to crown his career by the preparation and pas sage of a bill which shall give us a sound and safe monetary and banking system, it would be a long step to ward removing the political obstacles to a proper solution of the question Passes Over Tariff. "I am not going to discuss the mer its and demerits of the new tariff. I shall often refer to that before my journey Is ended and I must save something for other audiences. Suf fice it to say that the passage of the bill has removed a disturbing element In business. "Nor shall I dwell at length on the necessity for amendments to the In terstate commerce law, to the anti trust law, and the organization of the department In Washington with a view to promoting greater efficiency and expedient In the settlement of controversies arising under them. During Mr. Roosevelt s adminis tration we were all struck with the necessity for reform in business meth ods for more scrupulous attention to the conduct of business in accordance with law and for the necessity of sim plifying the law in such a way as to make it clear to corporate managers what they can do and what they can not do. Era of Busines Expansion. "We are I believe on the eve of an other business expansion, an era of prosperity, indeed It Is already here In many branches of business. The hum of prosperity and the ecstacy of great profits are likely to dull inter est in these reforms and to lead us back again to the old abuses unless we insist upon legislation which shall clinch those standards by positive law. Nothing revolutionary, nothing disturbing to legitimate business is needed, but we must set the marks clear in the statues by which the lines can be drawn and the proper legiti mate paths be laid down upon which all business shall proceed, and must have it understood by means of prompt prosecution and punishment that the law is for all and Is to be enforced even against the most pow erful. "Ten, too, the needs in respect to the conservation of our national re sources; the amendment to the public land system; the execution of the pure food law and all the rest of the Im portant matters that should demand at tention make the legislative and exec utive labor of the next three years heavy enough If our purposes are car ried out, to exhaust the energy of the moft enthusiastic and hopeful. Still the world is making progress our country Is making progress. Rap for Governor Johnson. "Occasionally one hears a note like that of Governor Johnson denouncing the east and calling upon the west to organize in a sectional way against the east because the east is deriving more benefit from the governmental pohcy than the west and at the expense of the west. "It is difficult for one to treat such an appeal seriously throughout this country, there is free trade of the freest character and due to this the prosperity of the west and especially the agricultural west is even more pro nounced than that of the east. More over, the east is too close to the west because all the people of the west have eastern ancestry and eastern associa tion and eastern connection and be cause they have eastern capital with which their sections have been largely built upon and because they are too ruch assisted by eastern markets in en hancing the prices which their products bring, to make such an attempt at sec tionalism successful. "It is true that at times public ques tions will be given a local color by what is thought to be a local benefit, as dis tinguishes! from the general and the national benctit. But such attitude is generally temporary and it tukes but a few years of business experience, it tekes but a pmic or two. to present the most convincing evidence that in this country we are all in the same busi ness boat and that the prosperity of one section adds to the prosperity of the other and that business disaster In one section is only the forerunner of business depression and disaster in an other. I was born and brought up in the middle west. I have had a New England ancestry and New England as sociations, fortune seuit me out to the Pacific slope jurisdiction as a judge gave me somewhat Intimate knowledge of southern feelings and southern as pirations. Protest Against Sectionalism. "I feel, therefore, as If 1 could speak with confidence In respect to the whole nation and as president of the United States may well lift up my voice to pro test against any effort by whomso ever made to arouse section against section and' Americans against Ameri cans. Not In the history of the coun try since the war has the feeling be tween the north and south been more cordial and friendly than it Is today and a political attempt, to make a clevage between New England and the east on one side and the west on the other will be found to be so utterly ments of Mr. Vreeland, head of the committee on banking and currency In hopeless as to confound those who pro pose it. "And now, my friends and fellow citi zens, as I take my departure for the west, I feel that I carry from you to every citizen and Inhabitant of the United States whom I shall meet the cordial greetings of New England and the east, your congratulations on the prospective prosperity in the whole country. Things are not perfect but we have made progress. We have a right to be optimistic and believe that further progress Is likely; that condi tions are Improving and that we may continue to maintain for ail citizens of the country that equality of ooDortunl- ty which it Is the highest object of a wen conducted government to serve." pre7 What's Diego till this talk about San T00PEIAWINS IJ Takts This Morning's Ball Game From Wichita.

Topeka won the odd game of th series from the Wichita Izzies this morning by a score of S to t It was a well played game and Topeka won by some clever base running and the bunching of hits. It was a pitchers' battle most of the way with Rasty Wright and Robert Hassler the prin cipals. Both pitched brilliant ball al though Hassler allowed the fewest hl:s Wichita worked a Kansas State league battery and pushed the locals hard all the way. In the second inning the Topekas got a run without a hit. In this Inning tne unusual record of six stolen bases in one Inning was pulled off. Two errors were made by Wichita and one walk was thrown in but the locals only made one. Kunkel got a Hie on vviute's error and stole second. Abbott was entitled to first through Hughes' error on an easy chance. Abbott stole second. Kahl hit to White who nailed Kunkel at the plate. Abbott advanced on the play and a double steal scored Abbott. Kahl stole another base and Kerns who walked also stole. The next tally of the locals was In the sixth Inning. Rellly hit to left field for a double and scored on Kunkel's single. In the seventh another happci ed.

Rattle Harbor. Sept. 15. Commander Peary spoke feelingly of the death of Prof. Marvin of Cornell university who at the head of one of the supporting parties broke through a lead of thin ice on the return trip. The body was not recovered and his personal effects were buried In the ice. A cross, bearing his name, his college and the date of his death, was erected at Cape Sheri dan, visible for miles. This Is 73 miles from the point north of Cape Columbia where he was drowned. The health of the party In general was good, according to the statement of Dr. John Goodsell, the surgeon of the expedition. Two Eskimo children were born and are still living. There was an absence of scurvy, due chiefly to the experience of the selection of the food and the sup plies. In addition, there was an abun dance of fresh meat. Bartlett, Marvin, McMillan and Borup suffered from frost bitten feet more severely than the others. Two of the Eskimos were dis abled at Cape Columbia, one suffering from frozen feet and the other from-a severe inflammation, partly due to the same cause. Dr. Goodsell gave them surgical treatment and left them In their igloos until his detachment te turned from the northern trip. He sup plied them with ample provisions. They greeted the return of the party with manifestations of great delight. One of the disabled Eskimos wa3 hauled on the sledges to the ship at Cape Sheridan, a distance of 90 miles. On this trip Dr. Goodsell- slipped a.id strained the tendons of his foot and on his arrival at the Roosevelt found an Eskimo child with a fractured shou' der. He' had no trouble in keeping busy. There were some cases of snow blindness, also Commander Peary was 111 for one day about six weeks pre vious to February 15 which was the day that Bartlett left the Roosevelt with his division for Cape Columbia, the ad vance guard of the dash to the pole. The surgeon was a little concerned about Commander Peary's illness on account of the approaching tramp, but it proved to be nothing serious and all the men were in the pink of condition when the start was made. McMillan was confined to his bed for a month on the trip through Smith sound imme diately after leaving Etah. Ha suffered from a slight attack of rheumatism fever. Dr. Goodsell also suffered from the same complaint for some time. Baseball Phone. The State Journal has a, special baseb&jl telephone.

Continued from Page One.) "When laymen fmO. their legal ad visers are more fully alive to the Im portance of b-atter testamentary writing litigation concerning wills will be ma terially less; testators will act with more confidence; families will be more harmonious; beneficiaries will fare Det tfr and executors and trustees will be more free from personal liability. "In selecting- executors and trustees the mind of the testator usually turns first to his family, then to his irienue. business associates', legal advisers and trust companies. Jn his family he is most likely to find an element of per sonal interest which strangers do not possess. Tet so frequently are other qualities absent that no general rula can be stated as to the wisdom of plac ing post-mortem administration in the hands of kindred. So much depends upon the individual, the estate and the will that each case must be a law unto itself. "Fortunately the testator is usually the best fitted to judge of the situation. For example, if the testator's estate is small and is given absolutely to his wife, she practically becomes the own. er of the surplus and under ordinary circumstances she may well be entrust ed with power over her own. If, on the other hand, the estate is large or some what involved or trusts are present in the will, the necessity for outside as sistance becomes more apparent. "Hon. Lyman J. Gage has well de scribed the situation. He says: 'Char acter and capital are the best assets of a trust company. Its officers and di rectors, therefore, should be men of wide experience, men who have be;r. tried and who devote themselves with honorable zeal to the high duties of their positions.' "Whatever we may think or say concerning executors and trustees the fact remains that administration of property after death depends primarily upon the testator. He may direct it into any channel giving or withholding such directions, powers and discretions as seem to him best. As he has the power he must accept the responsibil ity. If he plans his will wisely, makes sure that it will stand the strictest scrutiny after death and selects his ex ecutors and trustees carefully, requir ing bonds where desirable, he may rea sonably expect satisfactory results but not otherwise. "The trust company, after adopting proper business methods and squaring the human agency behind the corporate name with the qualities which carry confidence and make individuals de sirable for positions of trust, can ren der no greater service to itself and tc the interests it is to serve than by edu cating the public as to the Importance of a sound will and the advantages of corporate administration after death." HARRIMAN RESOLUTIONS Directors of Union Pacific Their Sympathy. Express New York, Sept. 15. The directors of the Union Pacific, which E. H. Harri man organized out of comparative chaos and made the nucleus of his 60, 000 miles of railroad control, paid him their formal tribute today. Yesterday the directors appointed a committee to prepare suitable n resolutions on the deathe of their former leader. A copy of these resolutions were first sent to Mrs. Harriman at Arden and their con tents were made public. The resolution follows: "Resolved, That the board of direc tors of the Union Pacific Railway com pany with deep sorrow records the death of Edward Henry Harriman. He was more than chairman of the execu tive committee and president, which offices at the time of his death he held and had long filled. He was the genius of the new Union Pacific and Southern Pacific and the high state of efficiency to which these properties have been brought, the part that is being perform ed -by them in the development of the country they serve and the solid basis upon whicn the securities of said com j.anies now rest, are monuments to his genius, marvelous energy and untiring work in the interest of these compan ies. 'It is impossible to here record any adequate expression of appreciation of Mr. Harriir.an's work for the American tailroad system, for it must form a large and Important chapter in the his tory of our times. But we who were intimately associated with Mr. Harri man appreciate even more the quali ties which were less conspicuous to the subtle. The kindness of his heart, the strength of his friendship, the quick ness of hls symapthy and his loyalty to all his associates were traits of his character so marked as to .inspire the devotion of all who knew him well, and bis aoplness in his home circle was an inspiration and delight. We deeply mourn his loss as a personal friend and as the head of these companies and Under to his family our profound synv pathy."

Refuse to Say Anything About the Operation. Rochester, Minn., Sept. 15. Gover nor John A. Johnson was operated upon in St. Mary's hospital here today for adhesion in the abdomen and slight hernia, caused by a previous operation for appendicitis. The doc tors announced that they would make no report on the case before this after noon. Mrs. Johnson accompanied her husband to the hospital and was with 11m until the operation began. Governor Johnson was on the operating table nearly three hours. He was returned to his room and an hour 1 ater recovered from the anaesthetic and .asked for Mrs. Johnson. Physicians who witnessed the operation said that.lt was highly successful although more severe than anticipated. An old abcess was found that had left a flstule In the abdomen and this was removed as well as the hernia growth. The Prudential State Bank, general banking business. MARKETS TODAY. Strength in Wheat Develops at l.: the Start. Rally of a Cent in the Price for December. LIVE STOCK TRADE. Cattle Are Slow to Steady at $4.50 to 8.10. Hogs Off Ten Cents Bulk Sales 7.75 to 8.20. Chicago, Sept. 15. WHEAT Consider able strength developed In the wheat mar ket here today following a' weak tone at the. start, the distant deliveries displaying especial firmness. The September option was neglected and showed little tendency to follow the upturn in otner months The weak opening was ddue to a decline of d to ld at Liverpool and to continued enormous receipts In the northwest. A leading elevator interest was a free seller early in the day, but demand was active and prices soon rallied nearly one cent, deferred months. Initial quotations were c to c lower with December at 98c to 9Sc. After touching 9Sc the price of December advanced to 99c. The market became weak during the last half of the day owing to liberal sales of the September option by cash interests. December declined from 99c to 98c. The cjosewas weak with December off lc at CORN The slump in wheat had a weakening effect on the corn market at the start but a firmer tone soon develop ed owing to buying based on decreased receipts here and low temperatures in the northern part of the corn belt. December opened c to c lower at 59c to 60c and advanced to 60c. The market continued firm the remain der of the day. The high point for De cvember was 60c. The close was firm with December up He at 60e. OATS Oats showed little response to the upturn in wheat and corn, the market being about steady during the early part of the day. Trading was quiet. Decem ber opened unchanged to 39c and sold to 3939c. PROVISIONS Liquidation of the Jan uary products caused weakness in th provisions market. Prices at the opening were 2c to 20c lower.

This one camesfrtef from the bat Last night the smoking compartment on a Union Pacific train was filled to Its capacity with westerners who were headed for the Topeka fair. Some one had started to talk "tariff," and all took a hand in the discussion, except a wesetrn Kansas cow-puncher, who sat back In a corner and ate nickel cigars while the others fanned out the important question. One or two "straw vote" fiends attempted to get an expression from the cow-punch, but failed. Later they got it red hot and original. Sandwiched into the load of Kansans was a Boston man, return ing from a trip to the coast. Of course he was of the faction which saw only good In the tariff schedule, and he had a plenty to say on the subject. Like the others, he tackled the silent cow punch. They were just approaching Fort Riley, and the Boston man was In the midst of a pro-tariff speech, di rected at the cow-punch, when they crossed the river. "By the way," he asked, "what river is this?" "Republican," answered the cow man. "Really, er how did It get that name?" "Beause it's so blinkety-blim-blank crooked," retorted the cow-punch and then "tariff" ceased to be a topic of conversation. SET FIRE TO JAIL Drunkard at Independence Caused Lot of Excitement. Independence, Kan., Sept. 15. So drunk that he didn't know whether he was in the city jail, a palace or an ice cream parlor, a man. whose name Is withheld by the police for the present, pending a whisky in vestigation, set fire to his cell about 3 o'clock this morning and it re- qlured the fire boys to extinguish the flames. The man had been arrested a. short time before by one of the night natrolmen and he was smoking a cigar. It is the supposition that he went to sleep with the lighted cigar In his mouth and that It dropped on the mattress and caused the fire. DO YOU WANT A BABY? Orphans' Home Has a Fine Stock to Select From. The Topeka Orphans' Home assoc'a tion has a fine collection of children or. hand at present, and anyone desiring to adopt a child will do well to examine their stock. Five small babies and twenty larger ones are now subject to adoption, all healthy and pretty, ai.d there Is no excuse for kidnaping babies while they last. Owing to the limited means of the Orphans' Home associa tion, it becomes necessary to- pUce some of these babies in good homes. However, the crowded condition of t:.e home will not make any difference in the rules, and the management will be satisfied that the little ones are to be well treated and cared for before they are delivered to the foster parents.

More Show Animals Added to This Branch of Fair. Races Postponed Are Taking Place This Afternoon. C. A. STANNARD, Prop. The attendance at the state wide fair was not as large this morning: and yesterday afternoon as might have been expected, the Topeka peo ple having decided to .wait until later before "taking in" the fair on ac count of the fact that the'races were called off. There was a mob of children present, however, aa they were admitted free.? On account of the damp weather of the early morning many town people were also kept away,, although, there was a good representation from the im mediate farming communities. It is expected that the races of the next few days will bring big crowds. The Judging of the horses began yesterday, this department being of especial interest on account of the exhibits of imported stock, W. L. De Clow and North Robinson of Grand Island, Neb., are among the big exhibitors. The judging of the hogs has been in progress today. Mr. Berry of Lawrence, who has eharge of this de partment says thatthe exhibits of Berkshires and Poland Chinas are the best ever seen in Topeka. Thw sheep exhibit is also considered most ex cellent. Further consignments of animals have been added to the live stock de partment. Makin Bros, of Grand view, Mo., are displaying 19- head of Hereford cattle which secured nine teen prizes at the state fair at Des Moines and twenty-five premiums at the Nebraska state':falr at Lincoln. The exhibit of Mr. Btannard's from the Sunny Slope farnut-Emporia, is one of the finest in -tfe. cattle depart ment. Among the.- 16 Herefords which he exhibits, 'and which were prize winners at, the Des Moines and Lincoln fairs, is a bull which tips the scales at 2,350 pounds. The road leading to the race track has become a regular "Midway" of cheap shows, and as one passes down the line the noise of the "barker" is appalling. "Nemo, the Malay Man Built Upside Pown," "Alive, Alive, Alive,?' and "Thy Fate Is in Thy Hands" and "Beautiful Neosee the Mermaid,, and Her Daughter," are some of the signs which are set forth by glaring pic tures. One of the things at the state fair that attracts the attention of the peo ple is a hog motor grinder and feeder. The hogs are ntade to work for their dinner, for they have to grind their own grain, at is rather a peculiar sight to see a pig being taught "the dignity of J labor." The following award in the swine exhibits have been asmouncea: Berkshires C. A. Stannard, "JOT? Boar, 2 years or over: First, Mas ters Longfellow, C, G.

One of the finest exhibits of cattle at the fair is that shown by Mr. C. A. Stannard of Emporia. This exhibit is picked from the famous "Sunny Slope" herd which numbers over 400 head. The Herefords of this exhibit show that the owner has taken great pains to make the word "quality" show from every point that the educated stockman may look for earmarks of good breeding. Although the stock are of the finest the prices are very low and Mr. Stannard has for sale some of the best, of his large herd which can be had at the close of the fair. One of the best of the horse ex hibits at the fair is the one shown by North Robinson of Grand Island and Cairo, Neb. There are 16 head of ttock of three well known breeds Pcrcheron, Shires and Belgian. They also have a very fine German coach cn exhibition. The exhibit came from the Lincoln, Neb., fair -.where they were awarded eight firsts, two sweep stakes, seven seconds, two thirds and two fourths. They have taken at the Topeka ralr at this date lour sweep stakes, nine firsts, seven seconds and two thirds. The results of the two fairs show that this exhibit is of a very fine grade of stock. They will attend the St. Joseph and Springneia. 111., fairs. The Continental Creamery company has a very interesting exhibit In the large glass cases in the north end of the exhibit building. It shows to a great advantage the giant stridas made in the quality of creamery products. One of the novel features Is the bur falo molded from pure creamery but ter by Mr. Amos Longaker, which is a fine sample of his skill. This company has certainly done a great deal ror tne advancement of creamery products and the good prices which the farmer is getting ror tne raw material. The lands of the French Land Irri gation Co. compose about 120,000 acres located In Colfax county, New Mexico, on the main line of the A. T. S. F. railroad, at the junction of the Santa Fe and the Frisco-Rock Island system at the new town of French. This land Is the most fertile portion of the well known property, "The Max well Land Grant." It Is generally leve' and clear of stone and brush. A year ago most all this tract was raw prairie. Within that time they have sold over 20,000" acres and today some 8,000 or 10,000 acres have been ploughed and a great deal of it is now covered with crops of wheat, oats, mil let, alfalfa and vegetables, and h w well they are succeeding may be seen by a visit to their exhibit of these cereals and apples in Floral Hall at the fair at Topeka this week. The homeseeker and investor havo here an opportunity of obtaining virgin irrigated land at very reasonable prices that will double in a short time. The exhibit is In charge of their agent. R. P.

The ceremony was at half after, 6 o'clock and the Rev. Thomas C. Young read the ser- 1 vice. The wedding music was by Miss Lucue jjecker, at tne piano, who play ed the Lohengrin wedding march, and Miss Ethel Barnes, vocalist, who sang a love ballade before the entrance, or the bridal party. The nride, an attrac tive young woman, who is the daugh ter of Mrs. Lillian Mitchell, wore a gown of white Japanese silk trimmed with Irish lace, carried bride's roses and wore a wreath of white clematis. A little ring-bearer, Laura Ferris, in pink mull and carrying the ring In a calla lily, attended her. The guests at the wedding were- limited to rela tives and the most intimate friends but a few additional friends were ask ed for the reception at the home of Mr. Holland's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holland, 1505 West Fifteenth street. The house was effectively decorated with palms, ferns and flow ers and an elaborate supper was served. On the summer porch punch was served bv Miss Lydia Holland and Miss Oda Helbert. Mr. and Mrs. Hoi land left last night for Excelsior prings to spend a week' and will be at home after October 1 at 2519 West Fifth street. Mr. Holland is an archi tect, associated in business with his father. The out of town guests here for the wedding were Mrs. George Tyler, Mr. B. F. Williams of Colorado prings. Mrs. S. B. Kerr of Alda, Ohio, and Miss Shirley King of Kansas City. A hat trimmed with plumes is ever a safe investment when one purchases early in the season, be It either spring or rail. i'ney are ever popular and smart and almost universally becom ing. The large picture hats with their gracefultilt at the sides, which have superseded the peach baskets of the early season, seem to be the popular note at present. Of these the sketch Is a pleasing example. The shape is covered with satin, in a rich gold col or, and the graceful plumes, which fall over the crown, vary from the shade of the satin to that of the velvet around the crowns, which Is a golden brown. 4 The Good Government club will meet with Mrs. J. P. Carnahan Satur day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock instead of with Mrs. Lee Monroe. It will be tha first meeting of the new club year. Mrs. J. Ware Butterfleld, who spent the summer in Europe, will talk about her visit to the English parliament, and Mrs. Ellen D. Humphreys will discuss the suffrage movement in England. A Topeka family is enduring one of those unavoidable gaps between cookc and the head of the house has been helping his wife with the cooking. When he -goes out in the evening and gets into a corner with the men to talk business and politics and baseball he keeps one ear on the conversation of the women and Interrupts them now and then to say: "I beg your pardon, but I think I heard you mention breaded veal cutlets. Do you use cracker crumbs or bread crumbs?" A pretty Idea for the use of the clever needle woman, the woman who desires dainty underwear of her own handiwork, is sketched here.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Stuart will entertain a small company tonight for Don't Worry About Fat During the Hot Weather This is not the time to worry about your fat. The thing to do is to remove that fat without taking chances with the health of the rest of your body. There has been a great demand for several years for a convenient form of the famous Marmola prescription which has met with such success in the past few years in the re duction of flesh. This demand has been met In the shape xt a small tablet that holds all the principles of the famous pre scription and at the same time enables a fat person to always be able to take their fat reducing formula, no matter where they may be. One of these little tablets taken after each meal and at bed time will stop at once the produc tion of all fat and will remove the fat you have at the rate of from. 12 to 15 ounces per day. They are perfectly harmless, contain no drugs that will tear down your system, but they do their work just as nature intends it should be done. They go into the stomach and stop that organ producing fat. They reach fat wherever it is -loeaed-and assist the body in throwing it off. They require no diet, wherever it 1b located and assist the body In throwing It off. They require no diet, no exercise, and they will not leave vast layers of loose skin to make large wrinkles like all fat reducers do. They are being sold in great quantities and are used by all classes.- Hundreds of physicians pre scribe them. Tou may buy them at any drug store, price 75 cts. per case, or you send direct to the Marmola Company, Dept. S35, Detroit. Mich.

Reports of impending civil war in the neighboring republics fail utterly to agitate tnem.

DOCTOR WINS A CASE. which God built in His image. Only the best and purest of drugs and chemi cals are used by these specialists, their motto being that every sick person is entitled to the best medicines that are to be found in nature regardless of cost. To obtain pure drugs they prepare all of their medicines In their own labora tory and every patient is thus assured a pure medicine, the best obtainable re gardless of cost. The expensive and elaborate Instru ments used to diagnose and the ex tremo care used in securing drugs and preparing them specially for each case rr'ake the treatment used by the Uni ted Doctors more expensive than ordi rary treatment, yet the large number of patients treated makes it possible to place the price of treatment within the reach of all. This is really a very remarkable and fct-nerous offer by these great special ists. It is an offer of free treatment until well, regardless of the length of time. This offer is good only in cases accepted for treatment during the next 80 days. After that full regular fees will be charged to all. Consultaxion and examination is free to all, but only curable cases wll! be accepted for treatment. If your case Is Incurable you will be told so and not one penny of your money accepted. However, many cases that are incura Tole by old methods can be quickly cured by this wonderful new treatment of the United Doctors. The United Doctors' institute is loca ted 610 Kansas avenue, where they oc cupy the entire second and third floors. Office hours are from 9 to 5 and 7 to 8 p. m. As stated above, examination y these master specialists is frea to ell. one month only. BLOWS UP A JOINT. Near-Beer Establishment at Is Dynamited. Xiawton Lawton, Okla., Sept. 15. John Rus sell's place, a near-beer establishment In this city, was dynamited early to day. The building and fixtures were wrecked, but no one was injured. No clew has been discovered as to the perpetrators. hundreds of thousand of dollars will be at stake, "ine decision or me cn cuit court in this city is taken as a great victory by the firm of Houston Brooks and their associates, who have represented the defendants. It will be recalled that several years ago Col. Hancock, of Los Angeles, Cal., owner of the Hardy patent for disc plows, commenced suit against four or five firms In Wichita selling plows manufactured by the Deering Harvest er company, the MoUne Plow Works, th Emerson Manufacturing company and other concerns alleged to have in fringed upon the patent. The suit was brought in the Wichita courts because all of lhe plow companies were repre sented here. Immediately the manu facturers advised their representatives that they would fight the cases ant! the ablest attorneys were employed upon both sides. The fight waxed warm and was carried from one court to an other until the evidence anu uni filled huge volumes. When the matter reached the federal court the court appointed J. A. Bru baker of this city as master in chan cery to hear the proofs, and after a careful investigation into all of the de tails of the case he came to the con clusion by law that the plaintiff wos entitled to a judgment. This decision was afterward reviewed by Judge Pol lock, who sustained it. The amount involved is very large and if the claim is sustained upon ap peal, an accounting will be had for all the plows manufactured and sold by the different manufacturers, which, it Is thought will total more than $1,000. 0C0. The plaintiff in the original cause was killed in an automobile accident some time since, and his estate is rep resented in the case by the firm of Houston Brooks of this city. S.

The boy had fallen from his fath er's knee, breaking the bone of the upper arm near the elbow and split ting it down into the joint. A slight twist and enlargement was the result and the fond parents alleged mal practice to avoid payment of the doc tor's bill which for treatment of the arm amounted to $26. The remainder of the bill for other services was not contested. That the elbow Joint was not left stiffened or a great deal worse .de formed from so serious a fracture were the statements of five doctors who testified in the case.

American Aviator Leaves for New York. Cherbourg Cures .leat-Bonstipation FR! At thii time ol the year city and county physician publish their annual letters warning the public to beware of unripe or over-ripe fruit; germ-laden food and water, etc But of more importance still is to warn people to keep their bowels well open these hot days, and this applies to young and old, but especially to the extreme of ages. To be constipated is to be in danger of germ-infection. Also, it thickens and over-heats the blood, producing sick-headache, loss of appetite, etc. Instead of trying to get bowel movement by over-eating yourself with fruit (which is more likely to produce diarrhea than cure the constipation) use DR.

About San Dieo. A typographical error distorted the sense of an item about -San Diego which appeared in yesterday's paper. The naramDh should have read: San Diego harbor, the commercial gateway of the southwest toward which the railroads are centering as the nearest Pacific coast port to i Chicago and the manufacturing cen ters of the east by over 300 miles, 1 attracting attention of capital from all parts of the United States. The discontent in Shawnee county over the sale by the county commis sioners of Missouri Pacific railroad stock valued at J75.000 for $30,000. of which the county gets $23,000 and the gents $7,000, has culminated in the circulation of a petition urging County Attorney John Schenck to take legal steps to oust the commissioners from office. The petitioners also want the county attorney to prosecute the com missioners if 'he thinks such action advisable in the premises and to re cover from them the money the county is supposed to have been defrauded of in the transaction. The petition is signed by over 100 taxpayers and representative citizens and these men have signified their willingness to also sign a call for a grand -jury to investigate further the sale of this stock. The case has many sides and future developments may warrant the action of these petitioners. Some of the western Kansas counties are also pro testing over the sale of this stock by their commisisoners at 20 cents on the dollar. The following Is the text of the petition and the names of the signers: We, the undersigned residents. citizens and taxpayers of Shawnee county, do hereby petition the Hon. John Schenck, county attorney, to at ence make a thorough investigation into the recent Missouri Pacific stock deal wherein in violation of all law and precedent the county commission ers entered into a contract nun ui firm of Kelly. Kelly, bond brokers, for the sale and disposal of the afore said stock and wherein the commis sioners agreed to pay the said K.eiiy Kelly an enormous commission con trary to law, and wherein the sale was conducted in an absolutely illegal manner and the commissioners aid not sell to the highest bidder in cash or county indebtedness. And wherein the said commissioners showed inde cent haste in closing up an unlawful sale at a price that was clearly only two-thirds of the open market price of the county's property so niegauy sold. "Your petitioners rurtnermore de mand that you as county attorney will take such steps legally as may be necessary to remove from office the county officers who have proven them selves false and unfaithful to tne trust reposed a them; oy tne sectors r.f this county.r and should you as trosecuting attorney of this county deem it advisable to have a. grand Jury t nrnhi! this transaction to the core. a.-c th undersisrned stand ready at any time to sign the petition for such grand Jury."
