4 VIM SEEN BYHILLIONS Greatest Pageant Ever Witness ed in New Yoik Harbor. Iludson-Fulton Celebration Ke vins With Na?al Parade. A THOUSAND VESSELS Hanging From a Cat Boat to an Armored Cruiser. Fifty-Seven Warships and Steam Yachts in Line. 75 New York. Sept. 25. The boom of sunrise guns aboard the warships In the North river awoke New York this morning to the first day of the cele bration, long planned and long awaited, which honors the deeds of Henry Hudson and Robert Fulton. The river that Hudson found and ITALIAN CRUISER ETKUR where Fulton set his steamboat was the place toward which the eyes of five million persons turned today for the most impressive pageant that ever floated in the New York harbor. Humanly speaking, the ctiy today was a shell with probably two-thirds of its own population massed on its water front. From the battery to Spuyten Duyvll, the sloping western edge of Manhattan island afforded a vantage ground from which two mil lion spectators viewed the naval parade that moved up and down the river. Two million more lined the Jersey shore, and on the western water front of Brooklyn facing the bay, at least half that number watched the gathering of this pageant in the waters between the mainland and Staten Island. This is what they saw today under the unclouded September sun and what they will have a chance to look at tonight un der the glare, scarcely less brilliant, of millions of electric lights. A thousand vessels varying in type from the one man cat boat to the mighty British cruiser battleship In flexible. Fifty-Seven Warships.. Fifty-seven "warships, representing the navies of the United States, Great Britain. Germany, -France, Italy, Hol land, Mexico and Argentina 450,000 tons of steel, bearing 28,000 officers and men and armed with 1,897 guns. Copies of the Half Moon and Cler mont, so faithful to the original mod els in every detail that Hudson and Fulton themselves would have been puzzled to tell the difference. One hunderd and twenty steamboats and ferryboats. Seventy-five steam yachts. Seventy-five motor boats. Three' hundred tugs and steam lighters. Four hunderd sailing craft and small launches. All but the greatest and least of these craft gathered in the upper bay for the parade that escorted the Half Moon and the Clermant up the Hud son. The warships remained at their an chcrnges b-tween Firly-fourth and Twenty-second streets, while ihe sail bo.ns and t-e launches took p- sitiirs along the route where they could afford those aboard the best view of the spec tacle. The Day's First Spectacle. The Oay's first spectacle not count ing the grim lines of warships in the North river was the assembling of the naval pageant in the upper bay. Be tween 10 and 11 o'clock the squadron of lour American rrnisers and live sub marines assigned to escort the Half Moon and the Clermont met in the Kill von Kull between Staten Island and the Njw Jersey shore. The Clermont was towed from its night anchorage at Stapleon, S. I., to join the Half A".oon eft St. George. Then with the escort trailing to the rear the two little craft cruised along the Brooklyn shore in sight of spec tators that blackened every street and housetop in view. Meanwhile the rest of the parade was assembling and when the Half Moon and the Clemont finished their -round of the upper bay and sailed into the mouth of the Hudson they fell Into line. The assembling of the 600 or more boats that followed Hudson's and Ful ton's craft up the river occupied the whole morning and it was not until after 1 o'clock that the mass straight ened out into something like proces sion formation. First came police and scout and patrol boats a nd torpedo, then the Half Moon and Clermont with their Immediate escort, then in order the five squadrons, of steam merchant craft and the ferry boats, steam craft, motor boats, tubs and steam lighters and sailing craft. Colnmn Fifteen Miles Long. The boats moved up the Hudson in double line at a speed of 8 miles an hour, but such was the number of par ticipants that the column was nearly 15 miles long. When the Half Moon and the Cler mont reached the United States ship Newport, which marks the southern nd of the line of warships at Forty fourth street, they passed up on the New York side of the river, while the r r Z 1 other vessels kept on between the men-of-war and the New Jersey shore. As the litle craft passed the warships fired a royal salute. The Half Moon and the Clermont went only as far as 110th street, where the land ceremonies of the day took place, including speeches by Governor Hughes and others. While these were in progress, the other vessels rounded the head of the warship line and re turned along the Manhattan shore. The Half Moon and the Clermont will remain at the foot of 110th street until Wednesday. Tonight, with scarcely enough inter val to allow the crowds to get dinner, the participants in the gay parade will go over the same route, while the river will be gorgeously decorated. They Bumped Together. As the Clermont was rounding St. George in today's parade she stopped and the Half Moon, which was com ing close behind her under her own sails bumped broadside into the steamer's paddle wheel. The damage was slight. NEW RECORD FOR CROWDS. Seats Selling as High as Four Dollars Each. New York, Sept. 25. All authori ties agree that a new figure for im mense crowds has been set by the Hudson-Fulton celebration. On Chi cago day at the World's Columbian exhibition, the record was held up to that time with upwards of 700,000 IA, PROMINENT IN THE HUDSON- persons in the grounds at one time. This figure was greatly distanced by the Dewey parade, which was wit nessed by a crowd, the minimum es timate of which was three million persons, half of whom were believed to be in Riverside park. When daylight came most of the advantageous spots haa Been selected and pre-empted by persons who de sired either to make sure of seeing the great naval parade themselves or had an eye to speculation and pro posed" to vacate their choice positions on sufficient payment. Many of these places had been occupied all night, even during the rain, which did not cease until midnight. Many brought camp stools or boxes with them and they were amply supplied with lunch in expectation of a long occupation. As the hour for the starting of the naval parade drew near, prices for seats on grandstands advanced. Peat? that were selling in the early part of the week for $2 brought $3 and $4 to tpecuKtive dealers. In the early hours of the morning ttere was a precipitate pilgrimage of sailors to get back to their warships after their all-r.'ght leaves of absence. There are approximately 65,000 sailor3 cn the war vessels in the river and about half o' these -hat shure leave over night. The result was that every subway and elevated train was well fill ed with sailors wearing the uniforms of many navies. All of them were com pelled to be hack on their ships a few hours before the ceremonies began and as most of them delayed their return uniil the last moment there was a wild scnmble to avoid being penalized. While the police anticipated an enormous crowd this afternoon, they believed that it would be much larger tonight when the greatest fireworks display ever attempted will be set off, the warships illuminated and forty searchlights of a combined candle power of two billion will make the night dazzlingly briliant. WARSHIPS OF EIGHT NATIONS. Assembled For the Hudson-Fulton Naval Parade. New York, Sept. 25. With more than three score of the picked fighting ships of eight nations, swinging at anchor in the Hidson river, awaiting the coming of the Clermont and the Half Moon, sightseers at the Hudson Fulton celebration looked upon the most impressive assembly of foreign warships that has probably ever been seen in American waters. Riding in the river between 44th street and Spuyten Duyvll, besides the 50 ves sels of the United States Atlantic fleet under Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder the foreign navies are represented by (Continued on Page Eight.)

Mrs. Agnes Boss Thomas K. C. Alleges Scandal. Leavenworth and Atchison Pa pers Among Defendants. PLAINTIFF IS KNOWN. She Claims Publication of False and Hnrtfnl Statements. Frank Fitzwilliams, of Leaven ivorth, Also Defendant. A petition for slander for a Judg ment of over $300,000 against Frank Fitzwilliama of Leavenworth, the Leavenworth Post, the Leavenworth Times, and the Atchison Globe was brought through Clerk Geo. Sharritt, in the United States circuit court by Agnes Boss Thomas, a Kansas City woman today. FULTON CELEBRATION. The petition in all four cases de clares that the man mentioned and the three newspapers have brought out slanderous allegations against her name for the sole purpose of injuring and ruining her reputation. The quot ations mentioned in the petition sug gest that Agnes Boss Thomas is a wo man of unchaste character and has practiced in a number of immoral conducts. The first petition is against Frank Fitzwilliams of Leavenworth. Mrs. Thomas claims in her case that the following words were spoken wilfully and maliciously by Mr. Fitzwilliams: "I can prove beyond a .doubt that Mrs. Thomas (meaning the plaintiff) is a woman of unchaste character, and that she was intimate with a certain man when she and this man were in Montana. She occupied a berth with a strange man in the sleeper when she was bound for Ok lahoma. I can establish this by Leav enworth parties. He was the man she had out in Montana. His name is Holbrook, a civil engineer. His office is in Kansas City, Mo. Fur thermore, I can establish by the at torney whom she consulted before she went to Brewster, racts that she is of unchase character." On account of these so called false and slanderous words the plaintiff pravs pudgment for $25,000 actual damages and $50,000 punitive or ex emplary damages a total of $75,000 against the gentlemen who persisted in telling what he claimed to know about the case. The second petition Is still more sen sational. It is a clipping from the Leavenworth Times and Judgment is prayed against the owners, D. R. An thonv. congressman from the First dis trict; D. R. Anthony, jr., executor of the estate of V. K. Antnony, sr.; airs. D. R. Anthony, sr., and Maud Koehler. The article was printed in the Leaven worth Times, September 26, 1908, and reads as follows: "Since her (meaning the plaintiff) di vorce she has been living in the west and has been mixed up in several racy affairs, one in particular, the Richards divorce case in Kansas City in whicn she referred to as 'Checkers.' From the testimony in that case it was shown that one night while out carous ing with Richards, Mr. and Mrs. Humes and others she had a pair of stockings with very large checks in them, so they nicknamed her 'Checkers' and the name stuck to her." Mrs. Thomas claims that this articls accused her of drunken habts, unchaste character, and beln in a drunken, vul gar nad lewd manner with men. She says in her petition that the article Is defamatory and libelous. For all this she asks $25,000 actual and $50,000 puni tive damages. The next inning finds the Leaven-1 AS SHE LOOKS TO DAY WITH HER worth Post owner (Albert T. Reid of this city) .in as a part of the burden carrier. Mrs. Thomas quotes the fol-1 lowing from the Post of September 25, 1908: "Since her Cmeanine the nlaintifn divorce she has lived in 'Wyoming and other places and has led a pretty fast life It is said. In Kansas City she was Involved in the famous Humes case in which reference was frequently made to a pretty girl named 'Checkers.' Checkers was none other than Mrs. Thomas." In this Mrs. Thomas claims that she was plic-d in the public eye as -caling an immoral and dissoiite life in Wyom ing and for that reason she asks for actual damages amounting to $25,000 ana pju.tive damages amcun. ne to $50,,y0. Ed Howe, of the Atchison Globe, also comes In for $75,000 of the suit. Mrs. Thomas claims that In his article he meant to convey the impression that s-he was g-iiltv of immoral conduct and that she had been guilty of immoral acts ..no. mat ner i.ame was involved in scandal anl that 'he publication of the story was wilful, wanton and malicious. 'he article from the Atchison Globe rtai- as follows: "A few months ago Kansas City had a scand-.il which affected R. F. Humes of the Humes Crockery company, owner of the Premium Stamp store in Atchi son and the wife of a man named Rich ards. It was a tough story. One of the women Implicated went by the name of Checkers." It has recently develoDed t-at Mrs. Thomas (meaning the defend ant) was 'Checkers.' The clipped articles above Just about tell the story of th eaffair Into which all of this scandal was placed. The real life of Anges Boss Thomas is simple enough and does not attract nearly as much attention as her alleged connections after she had been divorced from her husband. From what can be learned from Leavenworth parties today, Agnes Boss Thomas Is the daughter of the former Rev. Boss, who was at one time pastor of the Congregational church in Leavenworth. Agnes was a very beautiful girl and attracted considerable attention for that rea son. She marnea a man named Thomas who was a cousin of the for mer manager of the Southwestern Fuel company in Topeka. They were divorced and the courts gave the boy to Mr. Thomas. She made attempts to regain the child, according to the stories told. Mrs. Thomas is now about 29 years of age and is a hand some woman. COOLEY SOLD HENDRIX. Big Pitcher Goes to Seattle for Five Hundred Dollars. Manager Dick Cooley last night an nounced the sale of Pitcher Rhoddy Hendrix to the Sattle club of the North west League for $500. Hendrix will probably leave within a day or two to join that club. Shortly after supper last night D. E. Dugdale. an old friend of Cooley, who is owner of the Seattle club, wired Cooley Inquiring-for an extra pitcher. Cooley wired back that he would tell Hendrix for $500 and the deal was consummated within two hours after.it had teen started. Seattle is in first place and the chances are that the club will win the pennant, but Dugdale wished to fortify himself with some mora pitchers. Cooley does not think that Hendrix is up to the Western League standard. He gave him a good trial extending over the first half of the season, but Hendrix fell a little shy. Later he was loaned to the Burlington club of the Central Association, and his record was so good that Cooley thought it wise to give him another t-hance yesterday. Hendrix didn't make a good showing. Accord ingly wnea Duddale's wire came, Cooley thought it a good plan to sell. Hendrix was purchased from the Enid club in 1908 for $150.

FIGHTING TOPS. POLITICALGOSSIP Mr. Jackson Takes Radical Step in Guarantee Muddle. Would Have Supreme Court Precede Federal Action. CLASH OF THE COURTS Appears Likely as the Result of This Latest Move. Dr. Janes of Cherokee Announc es His Platform. When Attorney General Jackson re vived his application in the supreme court for an injuction to prevent the national banks and their attorneys from interfering with the administra tion of the guaranty law and had the hearing advanced to next Monday, September 27, he fired the opening gun in what will likely result in a war be tween the state and federal courts. The attorneys for the national banks had filed injunction proceedings against the enforcement of the guaranty law in the federal court and the matter was to have been heard by Judge Pol lock next Tuesday, September 2 8. But the attorney general has asked the supreme court to restrain these attor neys from bringing a suit in the fed eral court at all. The clash between the courts will, if it comes at all, ar rive over a question of jurisdiction. The whole fight In this guaranty squabble appears to be a matter of politics. The square dealers have pre dicted in advance the action the su preme court will take in this injunc tion suit. They appear to be confident that the supreme court is on their side and that the federal court Is sure to be against them. Now as to how the supreme court will view this settlement of the case in advance is not known, nor how Judge Pollock will feel over having a suit thrown out of his court before he had had a chance to pass on it. The action of the square dealers In this guaranty muddle would indicate that they held the supreme court in the hollow of the hands and were afraid that they would not get a square deal in the federal court. The laws of the state and the laws of the land appear to have fallen upon evil days during this period of reform. The notice served by the attorney general upon the national bankers and their attorneys reads as follows: "You are hereby notified that the application of the plaintiff for a re straining order herein will be heard w tho minreme court on Monday. Sep tember 27. at 10 a. m., at the court room in the city of Topeka, Kan., or as soon thereafter as the same can be considered by tne court; anu Liiai uu- options of fall to tnat or Daimy spring, less you and each of you appear and although the sky has not been over show reason to the contrary, said court cast and all signs of storm have ben will at said time issue its tepmorary aDsent for ten days. restraining order restraining you and Local electricians and wire chiefs at all associates, agents, attorneys and the telegraph and telephone offices re representatives and all persons aiding ort j,eavy electrical disturbances, in conjunction with you from prosecut- Western Union wire chiefs attribute ine actions heretofore commenced In I th "earth currents" to the aurora the circuit court of the United States for the district oi itansaa, utu N. Dolley and Mark Tulley, for the purpose of restraining them from en forcing chapter 61 of the laws of 1909 (bank guaranty law) and from further interfering with and hindering the Jurisdiction of this court in this action in any way. "F. S. JACKSON, Attorney Gen." Dr. Janes Is in Earnest. The announcement of Dr. J. W. James of Cherokee county as a candi date for the Republican nomination for governor in the primary next summer was not taken seriously at the time by manv neoDle but the worthy doctor himself took the matter seriously and his views appear to be shared by the rXtZ his candidacy and this presentation of I ideas Is an arraignment of the Stubbs j policies, appointees and personal con- duct of affairs. The platform, which consists of six planks, Is as follows: First I believe in a fair and honest administration of all of the laws of the state without regard to kind or distinc tion and do not advocate the pandering to popular prejudice or clamor as being distinctly detrimental to our great business interests and without ultimate good. Second' I do mot believe in a state's executive entering into any personal altercation with anyone by which the si nal" of the state of Kansas is hro,.hl. jisrpnntp or maii. the anh ?JJ?.u?VirtM,,ii 3 ,V,iwi t T Third I am opposed to the use of the strong arm of the state in such way that political preferments are handed i out, not In a way reflecting credit upon the state, but to enhance the prospects of an individual in attaining political rewards in the future, and all with a total disregard of the taxpayer. Fourth I favor a thorough revision of the present tax law and now place myself on record as being opposed to any law that protects the holder and owner of securities, living outside the state, while the resident taxpayer foots the bill. I shall urge adequate amend ments along sane and proper Jines. Fifth I am bitterly opposed to the promiscuous granting of large sums of money of the taxpayers to private institutions operated for private pro fit and gain, and call attention to the habit of appropriating such to many institutions, thereby adding to our taxes and "depleting the finances of the state. Sixth Being a Republican and full of confidence in the Justness of the demands of our party I believe in any candidate who endeavors to utilize the party organization and ask for party support being honest enough to show his colors and stand by his or ganization; I am not in harmony witli the man who will, to gain favor, stultify his intellect, bury his feelings and cast aside his conscience simply to gain an office: I will not go the length and breadth of the state sup port because of a death bed repent ance born of an insaiie craving to hold down a job at the expense of the pri maries since my time of reaching my majority and I can candidly say that I can Just as honestly shoulder" the burdens of state as one who never even was interested enough in his party or the welfare of his state to attend a caucus and aid in the nomi nation of proper persons, for office until he had amassed nearly a million dollars; and one can well ask himself whether or not it is for the Interests of the every day citizen to have for governor, one that owns interests In more corporations than almost any other man In the state or whether it will be better to have one who has no political debts to pay or future hopes to foster, a plain man who will serve all alike even to the smallest and low est among our people. In full confidence that the will of the people is the law of the land and knowing that the great mass of the American voters do not go wrong very far nor very often and further feeling that I can serve my people well and good for the ultimate satis faction of all I submit my suggestions to the voters of the state of Kansas. MAGNETIC STORM. Aurora Borealis Disturbs Wire Service Throughout the Country. -Chicago, Sept. 25. Violent electrical earth currents believed to emanante from the aurora borealis today ris turbed the telegraph service over the entire country and for a time stilled the ticking of the instruments in the great offices of the big telegraph com panies. When the drift of the currents no ticeable in cities, from San Francisco, Seattle, Omaha, through Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburg to New York was apparently to the east, its strength was little more pronounced in one sec tion of the country than another. The currents were first felt about 5 o'clock in the morning and Increased in intensity for two hours, reaching the heaviest wave at 7:10 a. m., when all the telegraph activities were at a standstill. The force of the disturbing currents was so great that fuses were blown out and resistance lamps light ed up brilliantly. Shortly after 7 o'clock the currents began to subside and intermittent serv ice was resumed. The conditions at 9 o'clock were fast becoming normal. Professor David Cuthbertson, In charge of the local weather bureau, declared that the phenomena was due to the aurora borealis, which, he said, always accompanied a high pressure in atmospheric conditions. No reports have been received today in the local weather bureau from north of Ne braska. The center of the magnetic storm, the weather bureau declares, is in Manitoba, Disturbance Lasts Three Hours. New York, Sept. 25. For nearly three hours today the telegraph, tele phone and cable service of the eastern portion of the United States was in terrupted by a severe electrical storm which generally accompanies a display of the aurora borealis. The disturbance was first manifest ed east of New York at 6:50 a. m., temporarily preventing the operation of most of the cables and wires. The magnetci influence moved rapidly westward and disappeared so. that by 9:30 a. m. communication was again established. Queer State,' of Weather. Ogden, Utah, Sept. 25.

His Counter to Attorney Gen eral Jackfon's Move. FEDERAL COUHT FIHST Guaranty Lair's Fate Decided Today by Judge Pollock. Injunction Argued at Kasnas City, Kans., Today. It is evident that the enemies of the state bank guaranty law have slipped another one over on Attor ney General Jackson, and there is danger that before this day closes. the administration of the bank guar anty law will be temporarily sewed up by federal Injunction. The hearing of the injunction pro ceedings against the enforcement of the law was set for next Tuesday, September 28, before Judge Pollock in the federal" court. To evade th possibilities of this hearing, and es tablish jurisdiction by precedence, in the state courts, the Jackson-Dolley forces planned a coup, which looked all right on its face, but nas proven a boomerang. At 3:30 Friday after noon the Jackson masterpiece was put In motion, by setting the hearing in the supreme court for Monday. Sep tember 27, one day ahead of the date set for the federal court hearing, and asking for a supreme court injunc tion to prevent the opposing attorneys from taking any further action In the federal court. It is apparent that the action of Attorney General Jackson in attempting to slip a day under the federal court date, and stop the ac tion by injunction, did not appeal to Judge Pollock as the "good thftig" it was considered by the Jackson crowd, for as soon as Balie Waggener, Ches ter I.Long and others concerned in the opposition were served with the no tice to appear in supreme court Mon day and be enjoined, they hastened to Judge Pollock, and secured an ad vancement of the federal court hear ing to 10:30 o'clock this morning. The rest of the night was spent by the U. S. marshal's office in running down Jackson, Buckman and Mitch ell, attorneys for the square deal, with the federal order to appear at the federal court in Kansas City, Kan, this morning. In Judge Pollock's court today. At torneys Gleed, Waggener and Long for the restraint, are pitted against Jackson, Buckman ana Mitchell against it. Judge Buckman stated at noon today, that he expected Judge Pollock to make some finding todav. Judge Buckman admitted that in its present status, the entire controversy was undoubtedly in reaeral court Judge Buckman said: "The case Is undoubtedly in federal court now, but we hope to show Judge Pollock that he has no jurisdiction in the case, and that it should be heard in the state supreme court as a state case." "Should Judge Pollock's decision be against you, what will you do next, and what will be the condition in which the bank guaranty law is left?" was asked. "As to our plans in case of such emergency, I have nothing to say at present," replied Judge Buckmtn. Having failed in the attempt to arbi trarily yank the case away from the federal court and get it established in the supreme court, the only hope of A.wLn?.y8 ,Jackson, Buckman and Mitchell is in the hearing today, is to persuade Judge Pollock that he has no 'u"-.iju in mn case, and induce him to pass it back to the supreme court. The opposition will fight with equal vigor to keep the case in federal court, on the alleged grounds that the Kansas supreme court is openly friendly with the Jackson faction, and that Jackson and his supporters have predicted the me..Kf any heari" the supremo XV- a Feat deaI of assurance.

If he Issues a temporary injunction against the enforcement of the law this will be a body blow to its supporters, as the case is now in federal court, and would have to stay there until settled and in the meantime the guaranty law would have been hung on a limb to dry. If Judge Pollock denies the Injunc tion then the worst of the troubles of the guaranty crowd would be passed, as they count on the supreme court aa a friendly body in this political con troversy.

Neither side put up a very great exhibition of the game as both had ridden clear from Pueblo together in the same private caboose. The teams dressed on the train and dropped off near the ball park, in time to get the afternoon' af fair started by four thirty. Rhoddy Hendrix who has returned to the fold, after committing great deeds of valor in the Central Asso ciation jungles, started tne game but his wildnesa and the hits which the Indians managed to sandwich in be tween, were too much and before the second Inning was over, Cooley beck oned him to the bench to cool off and sent Wright in to work. The Puebs got to Hendrix right off the reel. Curtis the first Pueblo mor tal to bat, laced on over second baso for one bag. Corhan did the sacrifice act, and an infield out by Clark sent the leftfielder to third rrom which point he galloped home on one of Hendrix's untamed pitches. In the next round Hendrix after fanning E. Locke walked Foultz and Williams. Then a fusilade of safe ones sent four tallies over the plate. J. Locke per colated a single over second and Cur tis, who hit some yesterday, two-bagger and this was followed by a screaming single on the part of Al buquerque Corhan. After Corhan'a blow, Wright ascended the mound, ob scuring the pennant pole, and the side was retired when Corhan made a futile attempt to take second. In the meantime Topeka had ac cumulated two tallies. In the first Inning Wooley walked and took third on Geier's single which was in the neighborhood of second base. An at tempt was made to get Wooley at third and Geier took second. Both Bcored when Landreth hit a grass cut ter through Corhan's legs which eluded his lunch hooks. But after the Pueblo tragedy in the second inning, the fans were say ing goodbye to the locaV hopes. Cooley Injected some gingerly counsel into his employes, and with a little spirit ing on the offense, managed to work down the Pueblo margin, sending in two in the third. Reilly and Geier started the inning by walking, but Kunkel hit into a double which ex ecuted Reilly at third. With Geier on second and two out, Landreth, some hitter, stung the Victor to the right field stockade for three sacks. Geier had no trouble in scoring and Land reth soon followed his footsteps when Locke and Clark mussed up Abbott's grounder. This left but one run to be worked off before the score was tied. In the fifth Kunkel started the fireworks with four wide ones and a steal of second. Abbott lined one to right field and Kunkel pranced to the counting station with the tying run. Abbott going to second on Foult's feeble throw to the plate. Kerns banged the ball to the left field fence and Ab bott scored. The last run came In the sixth in ning. Wooley. first up beat out a per fect bunt. B. Locke maae a weird at tempt to cut him off at first but the ball went at an elevation of some hundred feet over Clark's head, and Wooley after sliding nimbly regained his feet and took third, scoring on Reilly's long fly to McChesney. The feature of the game was Wooley's great throw to first base in the fifth inning. Curtis led off with a single and was still on first with one out when Clark hit a long one to Li Jah. Wooley made a neat catch and with perfect English heaved the ball to Abbott, the throw beating Clark back to the bag. The hitting of Land reth and Curtis is worthy of special mention. Landreth has been stinging the ball hard on the trip, and is In flating his batting average in grand shape. Cy was responsible for four runs yesterday. The Pueblo team has changed Its makeup considerably since the last eppearance here. The reins of gov ernment have been turned over to Fred Clark, the Pueblo first sacker, not the Pirate leader. Walters has left the team and Jessica Pritchett is laboring at second. Spencer's berth in the outfield has been filled with Mc Chesney, while Foutz has supplanted the heavy hitting Doc Miller in right. Tomorrow there will be a double matinee the lat Sunday engage- Bold burglar robs jewelry store and escapes policeman's bullets. hTAXDING OF TUB TEAMS, Western League. Clubs Sioux City Won. Lost.

At the end of the first hair the score stood 16 to 0. The Independence eleven was organized only a few days ago and contrasted with the Indians, who have been undergoing vigorous training in the past three weeks, the wonder is that the score was not more one-sided.

Pueblo at Topeka (two games). Denver at Wichita. Lincoln at Des Moines. Sioux City at Omaha. Two sames with Pueblo tomorrow. This is the last Sunday appearance of the Topeka aggregation this season. The season closes Tuesday with a dou ble header with Denver. Reilly is still clouting the ball hard, and is the likely leader of the league in hitting, athough Ducky Holmes Is coming up the line at a fast rate. Denver fans are already beginning to discuss the management of next season and a number of the fans are in favor of giving it to Patsy Bohannon who has been with the club for several seasons. E. W. Dickerson In the Denver News: President O'Neill is being soundly berated through the sporting columns of Omaha papers, it being suggested that the league should have a wire at Its head. His corps of umpires are de clared a Joke, he la accused of playing favorites and above all his negligence in, not Issuing official averages any oft ener than he does is declared to show him unfaithful to his duties. Nevertheless the Western league's chief official is a baseball diplomat, who keeps his league out of broils with other organizations, make friends wherever he goes and is one of the best posted of all minor league official.". It Is true that O'Neil should keep his league before the public more than ha does, and that, he should. In justice to his constituents, issue the official batting and fielding averages more often. O'Neil should devote more time to the league over which he presides, for competition Is growing keener every year in base ball and tho fact cannot be denied that the Western league is the poorest advertised of any Class B organization in the country. Sioux City is complaining that some of her players are crippled, among the number being Towne, Holmes, An dreas and Alderman. Tessie hasn't pitched a ffame in over a week. It's lucky for Sioux City that the cripples didn't materialize earlier in the season. John Higgins of tho DeB Moines has denied the statement that he intends to transfer his team to St. Joseph nextseason, but admits that he is will inz to consider the sale of his club at any reasonable figure. After an absence of several weeks. Rip Hagerman broke into the limelight Thursday afternoon, by pitching the second game of a double header against Brooklyn, and winning it. Rip was tuched up for ten hits but he managed to sandwich nine strike outs into the game and won out 4 to 1. The famous "whlzzer" must have been working. Hagerman has been sick for some time.

The Onaga cutoff wfclch Is to connect Kan fas City with the coast, via Grand I; land and Cheyenne, and shorten the distance 92 miles, was co nplted as far as Frankfort Friday. The city celebrated the event with a public holiday. Bu.-inees houses were closed and a general jollification was enjoyed. Speeches were made by Sen ator nstow, congressman Calderhead, Major T. J. Anderson and Robt. Blair. Tftera Is great reason for this, for as soon as the road is finished to Marvs vllle and conntcts there with the Grand I.land brarch it will moan that Frank fort is on a ti-arscontir.ental trunk line, The remainder of the work will proba t y b3 completed early next month as tho distance between the two towns mentioned is only some 28 miies. The cutoff, known as the Tcpeka Northwestern, leaves the old main line at .topeka, goes from there to Onaga and today enters Frankfort.

Curves are almost missing. In 1905 tho Union Pacific took up the project. In 1S06 the road was finished to Onaga. A years reday followed. Then in August of 1907 work on the grade between Onaga and Frankfort was recommended. However, after considerable of tha grade was finished, the paflic of that fall suspended operations until this spring. .Since that time the work has been rushed. Today mari-.s arolher goal ir. the history of the road. Mr. K. V. Blair, general attorney of the Union Pacific, -delivered an address. Among other things he said: "It pleases me to congratulate the citizens of Frankfort upon the thriving appearance of the city and the enter-.-rise shoun by this ce'ebration. It also pleases me to C'.ntratuitte the citizens of Ma-shall county upon their prosper ous and happy condition. I am quite well acquainted with the county and know how rich and fertile it is. You are close to markets and you have five railroads within your boundaries that reach out in all directions. Those rail roads not only give you an outlet but they give employment to many men vho naturally put their earnings in circulation in your midst, artd they also pay a large per cent of the taxes nec essary for running expenses. .L'nlon Pacific Spends Large Sums. "In earlier times railroads were built along the lines of least resistance. They followed valleys and ridges and avoided cuts and fills, and bridges and tunnels. In these days fast time and good service are demanded by the public and railroad managers know they must provide short lines, low grades and powerful equipment. In order to meet present conditions the Lnion Pacific management in the last eleven years has expended vast sums of money in making changes necessary to bring its road up to the staandard required. 1 1 spent an immense sum on Sherman hill in Wyoming in taking out a few curves and reducing grades. A fortune was spent in building a sec ond track from Kansas City to To peka. A very large sum was spent in building the Lane cutoff which gives a better entrance to Omaha. It installed a verv expensive block signal system that makes collisions next to impossi ble. Its connecting line, the Southern Pacific, bridged Great Salt lake there by shortening the line and making better time possible. In order to shorten its line 92 miles between Kan sas City and Osden the Union Pacific is buildlgn the Topeka xsortnwest- ern. That railroad is being Duut on strictly first class lines. It is as near a straight line as engineering skin found practicable. The grades are of the minimum. The curve is almost missing. The rails are the heaviest in use. The ties the best obtainable and the bridges the highest type of con Etructvm. The entire line is to be ballasted with crushed rock and win then be In condition for the heaviest traffic and the fastest trains. On Transcontinental Line. "The road will be completed early this fall and then your city will be on a transcontinental trunk line. I hope before long you will have a daily pas senger train passing through between Omaha and Kansas City. More than that, I hope to see the country de veloped to such extent that suburban motor trains will be necessary between nere and Topeka. In early days rail road companies were pioneers. They opened up new countries and trusted to development of the future for re turns. But after a line is once built its future depends upon the good will. industry and enterprise of its partons. If travel and commerce increase train service is enlarged. If the increase justifies, lines are double tracked. If on the other hand the country along a railroad is at a standstill: if the peo pie instead of increasing travel and traffic put in their time scolding and trying to reduce rates. If trumped up claims for damages are too numerous, If high prices are demanded for the material necessary to equip and main tain the road. If unjust taxes are im posed. If embarrassing laws are en acted and if the management Is taken out of the hands of the owners and turned over to politicians, train service will not be increased, tracks will not be doubled, but on the other hand, the service will be decreased and existing tracks will run down. The future of your new railroad therefore depends upon yourselves. If every farmer along the line will raise thirty bushels of corn to the acre, as he can, instead of twenty as he does, if every manu facturer will gradually increase his output as every live one will, and If an will willingly pay a reasonaDie price, proper service will be provmed The railroads want more business and you want good service; you want train service that will get your stock to market on time and a dollar or two more or less In the freight does not interest you. If you are a good bust ness man and have a proper amount of self respect you want to travel safe ly and comfortably. As a business proposition you would ratner pay three cents a mile to travel over 80 pound rails in a steel coach than two cents a mile to travel over 60-pound rails in a wooden car. The higher rate would be the cheapest insurance you can carry. In addition to the higher degree of safety you fe;l better when traveling in a nice car and if you don t believe it get In the Pullman the next time you travel and pay fifty cents to ride 100 miles and see If you do not have a better opinion of your self and of the railroad when you get out. Hostile Legislation Hampered. "I mentioned improvements re cently made by the Union Pacific that cost millions of dollars. I re ferred to steel passenger coaches as being safer than wooden cars. I spoke of motor car service for the future. You certainly appreciate the improvements already made and you Just as certainly desire the additional ones suggested by me and please un- BRMJ-UQRKERS Hereford's Acid Phosphate is especially recommended for restoring1 brain force or nervous energy, In all cases where the nervous syBtem has been reduced below the normal standard by overwork as found in lawyers, teachers, accountants and brain work ers generally. Horsford's Acid Phosphate IT on-Alcoholic. derstand I have not suggested all the improvements contemplated by railroad managers, because as I have never been a practical operating rail road man or a member of the Kansas legislature or a candidate for office, I am not fully posted on railroad operation. If proper and necessary improvements are to be made in the future the earnings must be sufficient to pay for them. Therefore in con sidering the question of railroad rates, look beyond the Immediate needs of the company for wages and other operating expenses and remem ber that tomorrow or next year steel coaches may be demanded for greater security of travelers, double tracks may be required for greater safety or passengers ana new and improved block signals may become necessary for the same purpose. I mentioned burdensome legislation as one of the things that retard railroad develop mnet. The average man does not give much thought to such things and is usually ignorant of the extent of such burdens. Let us take the Kan sas legislature of 1909 as an ex ample and that will give you a very fair idea of the evil of which I com plain. It was made up of 125 mem bers of the house and 40 senators, 165 in all. One hundred and ninety three bills aimed at railroads were introduced during the session, more bills if you please than there were members. Each bill was supposed to add to the author's prestige at home and incidentally if passed, to make the railroads perform better service at lower rates a case of eating your cake and having it too. "Many of those bills provided for the appointment of inspectors, commissioners or regulators of one sort -or another at high salaries. Some of them provided that the fees and costs of administration should be paid by the railroad com panies, their authors overlooking the fact that the only way tne railroads could get the necessary money would be from the tolls collected from their patrons. I have known bills to be Introduced that required railroad companies to fence their right of way with a certain patent woven wire fence and if they had passed the owner of that patent would have had a monopoly that would have proven a bonanza. I have also known bills to be introduced that required all en gines to be equipped with electric headlights of not less than l.ooo candle power, measured without the aid of a reflector. I knew the Union Pacific had its main line passenger engines equipped with headlights that could be seen for ten miles in the level country of western Kansas, and I was much surprised to learn that thev were of less than hair tne power prescribed by the bills and as I our people thought ten miles was as far as the curvature of the earth would allow a headlight to show we were much In the dark about the origin and purpose of the bills until we found there was but one concern that even Dretended to manufacture a light of that power and then the nigger in the wooa pile stooa out as nlainlv as if. a Union Pacific head light had been shining full upon him. Those are only samples oi mo vexations and senseless laws with which railroads are threatened. Has Had Stormy Career. "The Topeka and Northwestern has already had a stormy career. It was the Intention to nush it to an early completion but in October, 1907, at a time when DanK vaults were tun oi money, cribs and granaries bulging. everybody who wanted work busy, prices of wages and commodities satisfactory, a little financial flurry, i not a panic mind you, came upon us and the wheels or commerce stoppea and money could not be obtained to finish the work. "The Topeka Northwestern was not the only road affected. Projected lines all over the country were abandoned. I can tell you of a line from Kansas City across the states of Kansas and Oklahoma to a junction with the South em Pacific in Texas, upon which a ouarter n'illion dollars was expended in making surveys and buying right of wa at strategic p. lnts, that has Deen abandoned by the promoters who were fully prepared to build but changea their minds on account of the never ending anti-railroad agitation kept up by the politicians of Oklahoma, capi talists came to the conclusion tnat lahoma was not a good place to invest n oney, and as a result this state has been oenrived of that 200 miles at track that would have been useful to com nierce and added greatly to the reve nues of the dtate in taxes. "And while we ?an blame Democratic Oklahoma for that loss we can hardly blame it for the tieup of the Topeka Northwestern in Republican Kansas. Cites Drinking Cup Legislation. "The fact is we have too many laws, too manv regulations and too many of- flrtrs Mid that remark applies to all of us as citizens as well as to ran ioade3. We are regulation mad. In stead of attending to our own affair ai:d working out our Individual eaiva- inn w are eternally sticking our noses into the business of others and through some petty officer trying to regulate them.

Trial of Two Cent Fare. 'Most kinds of business can be better managed by Individual owners than by public officers. Public regulators are not a rule as successful in Dractice as they are in theorizing. Many of them profess to know Just what it costs to build railroads, and all of them claim to know what It costs to operate them and what rates are necessary to meet sucfi cost. They agitated the 2-cent a mile passenger rate for a long time in this state, insisting al lthe while It would prove remunerative, and the railroads are giving It a trial: that is the rate charged at present on all the railroads In the state, except one, opeated bv a receiver aDDOinted at the instance of the state administration, and he charges fifty cents to carry a passen ger nine miles. "The more laws there are the more officers are required. The more officers the more expense and of course more taxes. Speaking of taxes reminds me that I read in a Topeka paper recently a com munication from a country correspondent who said, 'The legislature of 1905, a ma chine legislature, got along with a total levy for state purposes of $4,260,000. The reform legislature of 1907 tacked on $1,000. 000 and made a total levy of $5,250,000. The ultra reform legislature of 19T9 tacked on $1,250,000 over the previous session and levied $6,500,000. In four years state taxes have increased from $4,250,000 to $6,500,000, an Increase of 50 per cent.' I have not verified those fteures but as they have not been, denied In the press, I assume they are correct. "I noticed a table in the Toneka State Journal of the 21st which shows that Marshall county paid $40,000 state taxes last year and this year it will pay $57,000. I remember of reading a short time ago that Francis J.

Reform comes high, Mr. Taxpayer, and reformers who stamp out graft are sometimes working a little graft of their own. Hopes Craze Will Blow Over. "We are certainly carrying our present methods of regulation to an extreme. We are being educated to believe that every man Is dishonest and therefore must be restrained. In a short time nobody will be given the presumption of Innocence. Wa will have to be Inspected and tagged and finally we will all be moulded to suit the views of our self constituted rulers and then we will be as much alike as a floi lc of Plymouth Rock chickens and probably will have heads like them. There will be no individuality, no model for boys to follow, no eminence to Btrive for. Let us hope, that time will not come but that the present craze will blow over and that we will return to the ways of our fathfrs when every man will be given his Individ ual freedom, to do as he wilL as lone as he does not Interfere with the rights of others and the golden rule will be the guide."

The Santa Fe which claims to be pioneer and leader in this modern de partment of railroading after eleven years has come to look upon the great organization of reading rooms and club houses with which it exerts an influence for the development of its employes as one of the prime neces sities of its operation, for which ap propriation is to be" made as regularly as for' track and roiling, slock The reading rooms have long since passed the stage of being an expert ment and one of the greatest hardships Dossible would be worked out upon the men were the abandoned. The work is not a philanthropic undertaking, and is not entirely unalloyed unsel fishness.

Mr. Kruttschnitt yesterday occupied the witness box during the entire ses sion of the interstate commerce com mission. "Rates cannot be reduced because of many reasons," he said. "Taxes have increased enormously, from 50 per cent to 75 per cent on some lines and in many states the statutes pro hibit running trains greater than a given number of cars without addi tional crews. In other states men must not work more than a "given number of hours a day. Many other government and state rulings must be observed then added to the cost-of operation.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909. Newbro's Hericide Stands the Test of Time The Original remedy to kill the dandruff germ. An article depending solely upon Its advertising to achieve success is never lasting. The history of Newbro's Herpi cide is one of continued successes. There is nothing of romance about It, the story being simply one of natural irresistable growth. Herpicide has been advertised to be sure, but its success is due more largely to real merit than to the Company's publicity campaign. More Herpicide is sold every year by satisfied friends, by happy users singing' Its prai.ses to others, than by the Newspaper advertising. PRAISED BY TIIK MINISTRY "I find Newbro's Herpicide, In every way, coming up to the highest standard of excellence. We have used it In our fam ily for several years and have recommended it to many friends In need of such a rem edy, and in no case have we ever beard anything but the highest praise from those who have used It." (Signed) A. F. Ragatz, Pastor 31. E. Church, Loveland, l"la. HAS A NICE HEAD OF HAIR DIE TO HERPICIDE Such is the tribute of Mrs. Mae McDonald. 421 Main St., Flat 8, Jacksonville. Fla. She says: "I was troubled very much from dandruff and my hair was getting thinner every day, but thanks to your wonderful remedy, my hair has stopped falling out and I am not trou bled any more with dandruff. I have a nice tiead of hair just from using Herpicide." WHEN A DOCTOR ENDORSES A PROPRIETARY ARTICLE, IT MI ST BE RIGHT "I find that Newbro's Herpi cide will do all It Is recom- mended to do. I have pre scribed it a number of times and find Its proper use stops falling hair. As a hair dress ing there is nothing better." (Signed) Dr. AVm. Gibson, Defiance, Ohio. There are no disappointments for users of Newbro's Herpicide. The results are always positive. satisfying, remarkable. It is the one preparation the claims for which are substantiated by its use.

MODERN HAIR DRESSING lias played havoc with the tresses of the fair sex, and druggists everywhere com ment on the fact that they are celling large quantities of sage for making the cld-fashioned "sage tea," luch as was lused by our grandmothers for promoting the growth of their hair and restoring its natural color. The demand for this well knowu herb for this purpose has been so great that one manufacturer has taken advantage of the fact, and has placed on the market an ideal "sage tea," contain ing sulphur, a valuable remedy for dan druff and scalp rashes and irritations.

Speech in Senator Sraoot's Chnrch at Provo. Salt Lake City, Sept. 25. President Taft is spending a day or comparative quiet in Salt Lake ana enjoying the rest from railroad travel which his stay In this city is affording. The day's-program began with a breakfast at the Commercial club. This was followed by an organ recital in the Mormon tabernacle arranged espec ially in honor of the president. The program included luncheon at the Saltair bathing resort on the shores of the Great Salt Lake, and golf at the country club. Tonight President Taft will be the guest of honor at dinner at the Alta club. Ills Coming to the City. Salt Lake City, Sept. 25. President Taft has added a Mormon taherr.acl to the long list of religious edifices .vhlch he has made addresses to tne people. Not long ago, in a Jewish tab ernacle at Pittsburg. Mr. Taft declare he was no stranger in the pulpit and enumerated his different experiences in denominational churches, experience in Utah was entirely a new one. It was at. Provo. the home or faenator Smoot, where it is said 80 per cent or the residents are Mormons, that the nresidert faced probably the most en thusiastic audience of his ten days of traveling to the west. There was notn ing in all the program to suggest the religious character of the building. The president appealed to the patriotism of the people, nis congratulations iu mem on their evidences of prosperity and the fact that they were a community abiding by tne laws, and determined that every c immunity of which they re aoart should be a lawful commun- itv called forth continuing cheers. Mr. Tift snoke for i-early half an hour. From Provo. where he was officially wimmflii to Utah by Governor spry smitors Smoot and Southerland and others, the president came to Salt Lak nrrivinsr here at 4:30 p. m., to remain until Sunday noon. They Did Not Speak. The arrival of the president develop ed an incident in the now lamous isai linger-Pinchot controversy which was Miwmelv interesting to those wno saw it. Secretary Ballinger came wnn tne uresident. At Provo word was receivea nr. tlie nreridnt's train that Mr. Pin .hf.t had arrived 5n &an jjSKe nu would meet the presidential party ifre, wv,on the train came to a sianasim, Mr. Pinchot was at, the foot of the rear platform step3 of the president's car with Senator vv. xwrau j.uauu Wnv hello Pinchot, canea me j.-rei ctnt extending a hand heartily to grasp that of the cuier torester.

Mr. Ballinger greeted seutuui with a handshake, but apparently i -cnWeri y,r nnp else in the vicinity, Neither he nor Mr. Pinchot made any effort to speak. Dines at the Fort. vciiicnt Taft was driven direct from the railway staton at the head of a procession of automoDiies to me army post at Fort Jjougiass, wiieic no -viewed the Fifteenth infantry, which is stationed there. Following the review he held a reception for the officers and their wives and in the evening was the guest of honor at a dinner at me tort, rotiiminir to the city at 11 p. m. and retirir.g to rooms assigned to him at a local hotel. The nresident's visit to Salt Lake City has caused a little flurry of ex citement among the Protestant minis ters. The difficulty arose over the pur t the committee in charge to have the president speak at the Mor mon tabernacle in this city on Sunday morning. The controversy did not go as a formal protest. President Taft in the meantime had suggested by tele graph a change in the Sunday program so as to allow his morning to be free for rest and special worship as he might choose. The suggestion was agreed to, but after Senator Smoot boarded the president's train at Helper, Utah, the matter was adjusted by an arrangement of curtailing the Sunday morning service or the tatiernacie in time to permit the president to review a living flag of school children and then proceed to the little Unitarian cnurcu in this city at 11 a. m. President Taft will have a compara tive auiet day of it Sunday with a game of golf at the country club in the afternoon. He may devote some of his time to a further consideration of the Ballinger-Pinchot matter, though he would not discuss the subject in any of its phases. The president is to make his conservation speech at Spokane on Tuesday. Mr. Taft made his principal speech of the day at Provo. In it he said: Ills Provo Speech. "I am delighted to be here in com pany with your distinguished governor and also to meet your senators and congressmen at home. Tou cannot al ways tell, you know, when you see sen ators and representatives in Washing ton just how they size up at home, and I am glad to testify, that, however they 3ize up here, thev do size up most em phatically well in Washington. "We hear often that one section or another is occupying too much space In Washington, is wielding too much Influence and is getting too many things to benefit the local com munity which they represent. On the whole congress works out necessarily a compromise. Consider what it is that we are carrying on. Really we have to rub our eyes some times in order to carry ourselves down to a basis of fact and see exactly what it is that we are doing in order to measure what we have accomplished in the way of government by the peo pl.e "We have to interpret into controll ing force the resultant united opinion of that eighty or ninety millions of people, and put it into government direction. Hence, it is that we have to- make a continuous compromise, and each, section has sot to give up something in order thai other sec tions themselves giving up something shall agree with them in the resul tant legislation and the resultant ad ministration. Dismisses Sugar. "And now. Just for an Instance, be cause I always like to deal with de licate subjects, take the matter of beet sugar. I am very much inter ested to help along some people for whom I was a long time the only representative in Washington. I waa In favor of letting all their sugar in to this market, because I did not think It would hurt you out here a bit. Tou are going ahead so rapidly that when I talk with a man out here and he is not thinking of the tariff, he will tell me tales of the manufacture of sugar that will just make me think I want to invest all my money In it at once. But what did we do? We compromised and we said to the people of the Philippines we will let you into our markets to the extent of 250,000 tons and no more; and then the home industry will go on; will not be injured certainly by that importation. And we made the compromise. "Now that is what we do in con gress ar.d through the executive all th-J time and, while theoretically that may stem rather a rule of thumb method of government, in the long run as you look back through the history of the coun try you will find that the course pur sued, which was the result of compro n ising the views of the majority into one sound and middle course, was very much better than if we should follow some doctrine and tried to follow Its theory to the uttermost. In other words, we can trust to the common sense of the American people, through their rep resentatives, to work the problems we have and in that working out to give effect to the views of all the people not all the effect to the view of every one, but to give some effect to the views ot ell. "I congratulate you on every evi dence that you are a community of law, abiding by the laws of your country and determined that every community or whicn you are a part shall be a iawful community. I can not speak too emphatically on this subject because at times there is a disposition Lo tram ple down law with the theory that we reach sonc greater object: but on the whole it will be four.d that the best way to do if the Jaws are not, right is to obey them and repeal them, but al the time holding the law up as some thing to be raspected until by the pop ular vo.'ce you shail change it, because K you destroy the eflect of the law, tl.en you might as well give up gov ernment, and if we are not to have government arid to. have anarchy and sociahs.-n. to be governed by a commit tee that is going to apportion what be longs to each man and not allow the ordinary laws of supply and demand and of reward for industry, and a jack of reward for negligence, apply then all I have got to say i3 that I want to be- on the committee that makes the epportionrcent." FED BY FORCE. THE SIMPLE LIFE. Chancellor Strong Deplores Tendency Toward Codfish Aristocracy. Lawrence Kan., Sept. 25. "The stu dents of the University of Kansas spend too much money," was the note or warning sounded by Chancellor fatrong in his annual opening address to the students. The chancellor made an unusually effective address, which was featured by his appeal for a return to the sim ple life. "Seven or eight years ago there was not such a tendencv amr.no- dents to live so extravagantly, but the growing prosperity has brought a new and wrong spirit among a portion of the students, a tendency to reckless ness in college expenses. "It is not right for the parents at home to toil night and day to send their children to school, and then h avp them spend the money needlessly and recklessly. "I understand that one of the look ing social lights of last year who spent money freely, even recklessly, had a mother at home Who waa fair ing in washing to give him an educa- presldent; W. H.

"The University of Kansas wants to aiscourage the tendency toward .ex travagance and having a return to the more simple school life of a decade ago." The chancellor also took up the growing importance of the university as a graduate school. "We have 104 students here from other colleges taking graduate work. Twenty-five schools are represented in this number.' London, Sept. 25.

Demand for Staples a Feature of the Trade Situation. New Tork, Sept. 25. Bradstreet's says: Trade conditions in favorable pro portions, demand for all staple lines being a noteworthy feature, though there is a tone of conservatism in many reports. Shipments are heavy and in many instances buyers are re questing prompt deliveries. Business on spring account is also of good vol ume. Retail trade is getting into bet ter shape at many centers, but warm weather has retarded its fullest devel opment. Commodities prices both for raw materials and edibles are gener ally very firm, and the high prices that manufacturers have to pay for such raw products as cotton and wool. together with a certain degree of un settlement resulting therefrom, make them careful about booking future orders.

These ants eat right throusrh an ordinary foundation and once in the house they make short work of wood work. It is said it has been a lone time since these pests have last ap peared in the city. The ants have already ruined much of the woodwork which will have to be replaced as soon a sthe repairs to the foundation are made. The workmen are scraping out ce ment and rock and are putting in large pieces of zinc It is said that this is one material which the "eating ants" can not get through.

The of fice of student manager of the St. Mary's College football team has been conferred upon Louis L. Pryor, a To peka boy. In the opinion of the fac ulty and students, the selection could not be improved upon. Mr. Pryor has always taken an active part in ath letics; he has been here long enough to fully appreciate what is expected of a team; and he has, moreover, a large fund of executive ability. His class mates and others who know him well, do not hesitate in acknowledg ing that they, are looking forward to the best season of athletics that St. Mary's has ever had. lege has never failed to put out teamt that could show uo favorably in com bat with those of her sister institutions. St. Mary's men have it drilled into them with their signal practice, that a creditable showing against any and all comers is expected of them. Nat urally, the burden of such a reputation rests heavily upon the shoulders of the manager. It is the case in all colleges that some years bring radical changes. St. Mary's experienced such a change this year when Fox, Dockery, Cleary, Beak ey, Sheahan, McGinnes and Stoll fail ed to return. Under the circumstances the manager's Job did not seem likely to bring many laurels. Whether Pryor was worried or not he never let on. He attended to his duties well and se cured a good schedule. Now the outlook is more promising. With barely two weeks of practice, Quigley has a team which will be able to handle the schedule, and Pryor's part has taken on a more cheerful aspect. There is every hope that the Topeka lad will easily outclass the long -line of successes which has gono before him. At any rate, he has start ed right. There are games on the list with K. U., Washburn, Doane, and Haskell. His work, to a large extent, still lies before him. The matter of finances and like difficulties will prob ably perplex him but he is a business man and a good start is a large Item, no matter what comes. THOSE LANDS IN FLORIDA. Louis Pryor, Topeka Boy, Manager of St. Mary's Football Team. Mr. Pryor entered the preparatory here in 1904. and since then, has en joyed an enviable popularity. While he has never held aloft from any out door sport he has shown a preference for base ball. He will probably be on the pitching staff of Quigley's next selection. In basket ball, he played a forward on the '10 class team, and was no small factor in the fight they put up for the inter-class cahmpionship. In short, he has fitted himself to see the athletic from an athletic's point of view, and on this account, should prove a valuable acquisition to the board of directors. That a student manager must be a man of ability has never been under stood any place so fully as at St. Mary's. In spite of her size, this col- Inducements Offered to Buyers by the Topeka Company. The Florida Developing- Co., located In room No. 1 Mulvane building, is selling land In and around the town' of Davenport, Florida. The company Is composed of In fluential men from Georgia and Florida and the land Is being sold In five acre tracts which are suitable for truck farming, orange groves, etc. They have numerous photographs which show the wonderful crop growing nature of the land. The fact that the land is all located below the frost line Is a great feature In that crops may be grown In rotation all the year round. There Is a great de mand for the products raised and the fact that vegetables, etc., can be raised In winter the same as In the summer makes the proposition bet ter. The main line of the Atlantic Air Line railroad runs diagonally through the entire tract of land and affords quick connection with Balti more and other large northern cities which are great markets for the produce raised. Beside the great fertility of the land, the lakes are filled with numer ous kinds of fish and In the timber lands game can be found In quantities. Considering the terms of purchase, location of the land, the fertility of It and the opportunities and pleasures which can be had there, the proposition on the whole appears to be a good one to take ad vantage of.

AT POINT OF DEATH. Alfred Skinner and Yernie Beeler Net Expected to Lire. Police Inrestigating This Re markable Affair. Ray Heslet. 18-year-old bootlegger, is held at the city prison, and Alfred Skinner, 9 years old, and Vernie Bee ler, aged 10, He at death's door as the result of drinking a pint of the deadly "dollar-five" that Heslet stole from his mother's cellar. The boys were found in the weeds, stiff and unconscious near a store of the neighborhood where the boys live about 11:30 a. m. Dr. Hunter was called to attend the Beeler boy and summoned Dr. Keith to attend Skin ner, whose home is at 1207 East First "It is doubtful if the boys will live," said' Dr. Keith. "The Skinner boy Is lying in a comatose condition and we can get no reflexes. I have sent train ed nurses to take care af the boys but they are in a bad state." An investigation was begun by the police. Patrolman Frlbance learned that Ray Heslet had first gotten the whisky and arrested him. On the way to the station, the youthful bootlegger confessed that he had stolen a pint of whisky out of his mother's cellar at the residence, 424 Chandler street, and had hid it in the barn to sell to a couple of hackmen. Alfred Skinner, he said, found it hid In the barn and stole It. Heslet has been under the eye of the truancy offi cer before and has been regarded by the police as a bad boy. He was cry ing at the plight of his playmates but ii.eisted he had not given them the v. hifiky. Asked by the offices why all the whisky wu there in the cellar, he first said his mother had it to sell. Then he insisted it belonged to his father who drank it by iiimself. He finally admitted he had taken it to sell for 25 cents to two men whom he had seen at the corner of Kansas and Sixth avenues.

President of Commercial Club May Quit Because of 111 Health. It has been learned that W. W. Mills may tender his resignation as president of the Topeka Commercial club at the monthly meeting Monday night. He has been contemplating this move for some time and it is said that he may present the resignation at the next meeting. Every member of the roll of 800 on the Commercial club books will and has been making an attempt to in fluence Mr. Mills to remain. The reason for the resignation of Mr. Mills can only be attributed to the large amount of his own business affairs which have been heaped upon his shoulders for the past year and the recent condition of his health Mr. Mills is at the present time bur dened with the big responsibility of carrying out the mammoth plans for the construction and equipment of his seven story store and office build ing now in process of erection. His many other business affairs together with the sickness which kept him out of the city for the last summer have also contributed. The members of the Commercial club are trying to influence Mr. Mills to re main for many reasons. His connec tion with the organization has been sign of prosperity and advancement When the club was organized last win ter he was chosen president and he has served faithfully and energentlcally ever since. His name and influence, to gether with the large amount of time he has crlven Jt has contributed largei to the remarkable success of the club since Its organization. In order to retain Mr. Mills as presl dent of the club and enjoy the benefits of his services the members or the Commercial club have Informed him that a large part of the detail work of the club will be left to the active secretary, Mr. George Badders, and the honorary secretaries. Mr. IMon fe. UlarK Mr. Roy Bone and Mr. Charles P. Adams. It Is thought Mr. Mills can be granted considerably more time for his own use and for nis time wixn me personal work he has outlined for the coming months. Mr. Mills' term as president ends in December and the members of the Commercial club who have supported him for so long are very anxious to use their influence in keeping him until the end of the term anyway. October ar.rl November are lively months with the commercial organizations and they need such a man as W. W. Mills to YinaA them in their work. When interviewed on the matter by a State Journal reporter this afternoon Mr. Mills said: "I am sorry to say that I may have to resign as president of the club. 1 nave been asked to do so Dy my doctors. love the work of the Commercial club and will do all that I can witn tnem in the future." The Topeka Commercial club has done wonders since is organization last winter. More advantages have been procured for this city than dur ing the past fifteen years of its ex istence and much of the credit has been due to Mr. Mills. It is sincerely hoped that he will reconsider his proposed action before Monday night. Mr. Mills at the urgent request of members, said late this afternoon:: "I will think the matter over very care fully and will give final decision la ter." It is certainly to be hoped that, with relief from detail, Mr. Mills can see his way to serve out his term to De cember. Pinchot to Stay. Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 25.

Drumming of the Snipe. One of the most remarkable of bird sounds is the so-called drumming of the snipe. The noise is difficult to describe and is often compared to bleating. The snipe, in fact, has been called the bleater. Tennyson used the word hum, speaking of "the swamp where hums the snipe." It is now generally agreed that the noise is made by the vibration of the tall feathers. A writer, however, care fully watching the snipe during the fliarhts In which it makes this re markable noise is convinced that the winsrs assist in its production. This seems exceedingly probable, since the wings are seen to be in actual vibra tion during its emission. country Life. Milk in Chunks. It is now proposed to deliver milk to customers frozen. This is really nothing: new. as that is the way it Is commonly handled in Siberia in win ter. You buy milk there in chunks, frozen round a stick which serves as a handle. Mothers don't say to their children: "Take care and don't spill the milk," but, "Take care and don't break the milk," for a chunk of it dropped on the hard frozen ground will break into thousand pieces.

When the Hudson-Fulton celebration was first decided upon New York city set out earnestly to maintain its reputation of never doing things by halves. A committee composed of a score or more of the wealthiest and moat philanthropic men in the metropolis was appointed to take charge of the affair and to carry it to success. This committee planned the great naval and historic parades, the various pageants, the airship contests, the games and the scores of public entertainments. With little or no effort ample money was raised for the big nndertaking. and everything was carried out with perfect system. Not the least attractive feature of the celebration is the street decorations. Massive white columns festooned with electric lights set off Fifth avenue, America's greatest pnrade street. Along Riverside drive also are similar decorations, including the water gate, that may be seen for miles up the Hudson. Public buildings are literally masked in flags and incandescent lights, and the towers and sky scrapers of the city when illuminated will send forth a brilliant glare that may be seen for leagues out at sea. Population of the tTnited States. Statisticians connected with the census bureau give it as their "guesV that the decennial count next year will show a population for the United States of between 90.000.000 and 95. 000,000, with a possibility that it will climb to 100,000.000. This last figure is probably pure statistical exuberance. The total is much more likely to be between 90, 000,000 and 95,000,000, if one may judge from the leisurely way in which the big cities have grown during the past decade. Taking 95,000,000 as ap proximately correct, we have the fol lowing comparative figures revised up to this year of the populations of the great world powers, including their colonies and dependencies: Chi nese Empire, 433,000.000; British Em pire, 410,000,000; Russian Empire, 152,000,000; United States (including Philippine Islands and Porto Rico, 95,000,000; France, 90,000,000; Ger man Empire, 72.000.000; Japan. 49. 000,000; Austria-Hungary, 45,000,000; Netherlands, 43,000,000; Ottoman Empire, 85,000,000; Italy, 33.000,000.

Australia and South Africa has added much to their populations without decreasing the number in Europe. The United States increased In pop ulaiton during the first half of the nineteenth century 340 per cent, and durlns; the second half 228 per cent. But these figures were small to be gin with and the huge percentages mean little. A better notion of our growth may be gained from the state ment that the country added 18,000, 000 to its population between 1800 and 1850, and between 1850 and 1900 disregarding the accessions of ter ritory it added 52,000,000. At the present time there is no country In the world except Argentina which is Increasing at a higher rate than the United States. It will be Interesting to determine from the forthcoming census just what our rate of Increase is. Chicago Post.

'7 LIKEAJOCK Stands a Tapeta Built Bridge at Montrey, Mexico. A Letter from a Kansas Mae Built Like Old London Bridga With Stores on Top. WAS A GIBRALTAR. THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909. Dnring the Great Floods That City. in Sating Thousands of LivesWhere Hundreds Were Lost. To build a bridge which will with stand the tempests and torrents of a century or longer is a wonderful feat, but a Topeka bridge seems equal to It. Such a structure formed the pro tection for 100,000 people against a raging, rushing torrent which carried thousands of their fellow men to a watery grave. That bridge will pass down in local history as one of the engineering achievements and will stand a monument to a Kansas insti tution, the Topeka Bridge and Iron Company. Such a distinction is enjoyed by this Topeka company. That factory's work Is a massive concrete bridge across the turbulent, treacherous Catarina river at Monterey, Mexico. Following an unprecedented rainfall in the Mitre mountains, which sent a wail of water down the valley upon the sleeping inhabitants of Monterey on the night of August 23 last. The bridge deflected the flood to the south n Monterey, Mexico-Topeka Bridg e aa It Appeared When Completed. ftculty in securing contractors to do the worw. Now since the flood never bulged that bridge they are ready to shake hands with me. Personnel of the Company. The Topeka Bridge and Iron Com pany is composed of Topeka business men with D. A. Mulvane as president of the company, Lloyd B. Smith vice president, and J. A. Cole secretary and treasurer and active manager, W. C. Stevenson and C. O. Knowles on the board of directors. The company has a substantia plant on East Four teenth street where about twenty men are employed. On the construction work throughout their territory about one hundred and fifty men are en gaged. The company is prepared to manufacture all kinds of steel struc tural work, concrete floors and bridges. Concrete the Company's Specialty "We began business here in Jan uary, 1896.'" said Mr. Cole, when we bought out the Topeka Bridge and Iron Manufacturing Co. Our specialty is the construction of concrete bridges, We have recently completed nine span bridge, 606 feet long across the Arkansas river at Arkansas City, Kan sas, which will be one of the longest concrete bridges in the west. We have V- 'ST' The Top Part of Bridge During the Flood. of Monterev. thus saving thousands of lives and millions of dollars' worth of property. After the flood had receded nothing remained of the little burg on the south side of the river, op posite Monterey, and for some dis tance on the north, yet high and dry, without a crack, stood the two con crete arches as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar. The Bridge as Constructed. A year ago last April the Topeka Bridge and Iron Company signed a contract to construct a two-arch con crete bridge across the Catarina river at Monterey, Mexico, using the Lutin patent reinforcement iron rods em bedded in the concrete arch and anchored securely in concrete at either end of the bridge. The concrete foundation was placed six feet below the level of the river bed on solid rock. Approaches were built using stone masonry for wing wals. As a superstructure to the bridge, a concrete market house 220 feet long was built which was used as stores or market walls, like the old Gordon bridge of three centuries ago. The length of the bridge proper is one hundred and seventy feet. The market house or super-structure extends beyond the ends of the bridge and was supported by the ap proaches. When the flood reached Monterey the approaches and wing walls were washed away leaving the concrete mass intact. The north end of the bridge house now extends twen- ty feet from the end of the bridge without support other than the strength of the concrete. Flood Like That of Niagara. "The flood was the worst ever ex perienced in Mexico," said A. J. Cole, of this city, secretary and treasurer of the company, today, "and when James D. Schuyler, an American en gineer, who accompanied President Taft to Panama, learned the details of the deluge, he estimated that the amount of water that came down the channel of the Catarina river and surged against the bridge was greater than the amount of water that pours over Niagara Falls, by 48,000 cubic feet per second. The debris piled up on the west side of the bridge for a great distance, clogged the archways and a wall of water seventeen feet high, battered away at tne structure but still the bridge stood. When the water reached the driveway through the building some damage was done by tree trunks and telegraph poles be ing thrown against the thinner walls." R- V. Leason, of Topeka, engineer for the company, was on the ground when the bridge was built and per sonally directed the construction of the work he had planned. The Secret of Its Strength. "The secret of the success of our bridges," says Mr. Leannn "l We use Iron rods for reinforcement! The concrete work is bound together with continuous rods three quarters of an inch in diameter on ordinary work, sometimes using five-eighth and on heavy work, rods an inch in dia meter. These rods are flrmitr am.hn.. ed at the end of the structure, laid l"e P oi tne concrete crown a third of the way over, dipping to the bottom surface of the arch at the cen ter and back to the top surface on the opposite side of the bridge. The rods are placed a foot apart, and even closer lengthwise of the structure. It is all in placing the reinforce ment in such a manner as to meet the highest tension of the arch. That we have succeeded in doing and that is the reason our bridges have stood the tests every time. Contractors Were Skeptical. "When I went down to Mexico to begin the work," continued Mr. Lea eon, "the Mexican contractors and a lew of the Americans were doubtful if we could put in a bridge over that river with but a thirteen-inch crown. That is the thickness at the top of the arch. But I followed the plans and specifications exactly regardless of their advice or remonstrances. The contractors were fearful of the task and I experienced considerable dif- completed one bridge over the Chi caska river in Kay county, Oklahoma 210 feet long, three 70 foot spans, and building eighty-foot span over the Pawnee river at Lamed, Kansas. We have built practically every con crete bridge around here and have contracts for several more; have con tracts for twenty in Marion county, steel superstructure, steel girders and concrete floor. We have constructed several steel bridges complete, the bridge across the Kansas river at To peka known as the Sardou bridge and numerous others over smaller streams. Concrete as Bridge Material. "Concrete is coming into use stead ily," continued Mr. Cole, "and the material to stand the wear. Our fig urese show that concrete bridges are not much more expensive than steel to construct and will last ages after the iron bridge is worn out or wash ed away. Since we have been in business we have constructed about seventy spans of concrete and we have yet a bridge to wash away. The contract we com pleted in Mexico is the first concrete bridge work done in Mexico, to my knowledge, and while the Catarina river has washed a new channel and refuses to send its current under our bridge the Mexican government is i well pleased with the work and Succ's de Herandez, the man who ordered the construction, says had not the bridge turned the current of the flood last August to the south the entire city of Monterey would have been washed away. The Cost of Concrete. "The cost of concrete bridges will seldom reach 130 per cent of the cost of a steel structure over the same stream. A bridge put in at Iola. Kan sas, over Elm creek, cost J 600 less than a steel bridge would have cost. "Concrete is the material for all new bridge construction. The man who gets on the concrete side is the wise one. There is no limit to the life of a concrete bridge and the cost of repairs is reduced to a minimum." Thus down in the heart of the Mex ican republic stands the work of an American, backed by Topeka enter prise and capital, a monument to home intellect and practical science and skill. CAVE A PALACE.

LAST GAP CLOSED In the Mexico Orient to San Angelo, Texas Great Rejoicing. The Kansas City, Mexico' Orient railroad is completed to San Angelo, Texas. F. E. Grimes of this city Just received an official letter which gave out the following information: The gap between Sweet Water and San Angelo has Just been finished and there is enthusiasm at the two points. President A. E. Stillwell of the road has received the following telegram: "Orient gap completed, great rejoic ing, accept congratulation." This gap makes a complete route from Wichita to San Angelo. The Orient railroad is taking great strides since its first train was started out on the rails. The earnings for the months of August and September this year are an increase of an aver age of over 65 per cent more than the same months last year. By the completion of this gap President Stilwell expects easy sailing from now until the end of the pro posed line Is reached. There is plenty of money available and the active construction will be rushed. The road when completed will run from Kansas City to Tolobampo Bay, Old Mexico. AD CLUB MEN INVITED.

Will Charge Slander and Misappro priation of Stores. New Tork, Sept. 25. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, discoverer of the North Pole, is preparing to bring suit against Com mander Peary for slander and the iMsappropriation of Dr. Cook's stores in Etah. This action is being arranged in view of the reports that Peary has put his case again Dr. Cook Into the hands of a lawyer. Because of the attitude of the two explorers, it appears to many of their friends tnat tne courts ana not the scientific societies may decide who dis covered the pole.

Dr. J. M. Westerfield, City. Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry about San Diego, Cal., will say that I returned recently from there, and I found a Delightful and Healthful Climate, a Fine Natural Harbor, Good Roads, Plenty of Tropical Fruits, such as Oranges, Lemons, Figs, Grapes, Olives, Strawberries, and all kinds of Vegetables, Nice People, and a growing city. Good Fishing, Hunting, Swimming and Boating, and many chances to make money in various ways, and especially in investing in property there Every indication is, that it will be a large city in a few years, as it has doubled in size in the last four years, and I would not be surprised if in the next five years if there would be a population of one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand people or more. If you have not seen the San Diego exhibit as presented by The Folsom Bros. Co., at National Hotel, you and your friends should go and see it, as it represents the facts as I saw them myself while at San Diego. While at San Diego I learned to know the members of this company and found their standing for honesty and square dealing among the very best and any property you may buy of them you will find as represented. When you go to see the San Diego exhibit go up 12, flight of stairs from hotel office and turn to right. They have a large room fitted up as studio, and it is certainly a treat to look over their paintings, relief maps and photos of Southern California, which is the next thing to taking the trip. Their studio is open all day and evening as well, so any time you go there you will find some one to show you around. The building of the railroad which is now under construction from San Diego to Yuma, Arizona, will place San Diego at an advantage as a Sea-Port City, with the shortest route to the Pacific Coast from Chicago and other cites east of that point. The people of the Central and Eastern States will have the advantage of a nearer route to a healthful climate, Summer and Winter Resorts, as the Climate is ideal the year around. The building of the Railroad will also place San Diego in close touch with the Great Imperial Valley, of Eastern California, which is so productive in crops. Also the Great Productive and Fertile Salt River Valley of Arizona, watered by the Roosevelt Irrigating Canal, which is almost completed, by the U. S. government costing about six million dollars. To the young man with a few hundred dollars, San Diego gives to him, the same opportunity in a small way, as it does to the man with larger means, as the same chance is there now to make money in investing in lots and property, as presented itself to the people at Seattle, Los Angeles, and other Sea-Port Cities of ten to fifteen years ago, in which so many people have made large profits, and many have become wealty by their investments in those cities, before they received their growth. The building of the Panama Canal will make San Diego the first port of entry in the IT. S. along the Pacific ocean, which guarantees a great Sea-Port City. San Diego has already elected officers and organized and incorporated a company among its own citizens, to have the World's Fair there in 1915, at the opening of the Panama Canal. This shows the energy and progressive spirit of the citizens and their great belief in the future of that city. Any information I can give you, or jour friends, or anyone else, will be cheerfully given as the opportunities are many there, for the energetic and wide awake person either gentleman or lady. Do not hesitate to call on me, 819 Kansas avenue., upstairs, Room 2, or at my home, 1435 Harrison street., and I will be glad to tell you or anyone else of my trip, and of the advantages, as. I saw them there. Yours Respectfully, r. J tt. at;' Picture of Bridge After the Flood.

"Will Dr. Cook charge slander "I will not say." "Will he charge that Peary took his stores and furs and sold them?" "There are affidavits bearing on tnese no! nts. "Will the proceedings be brought by Do. Cook or by Bradley?" "I should say that Dr. Cook will take charge of his own affairs.

It was half past 10 when the Half Moon and the Clermont left St. George, Staten Island, and the actual events of the day began. The quaint craft were greeted by a deafening outburst of whistles on the steamers that dotted the upper bay so thickly that their pilots had to proceed with the utmost caution. The Clermont after reaching open water, cast off her tow, black smoke belched from her near anti quated funnel and her uncovered pad dle wheels beat the choppy waves of the harbor as she chugged along, puf fing and wheezins at the rate of five miles an hour. The copy of Hudson's sailing vessel was towed behind. In order that the Clermont need not hold back the rest of the procession the plan was to give her a start on th! fast craft. Lieutenant Lam of the Dutch navy, costumed as the discover er, was a conspicuous figure in the poop of the Half Moon. The Clermont took almost an hour to make the trip of the two miles from her anchorage to the side of the Half Moon. Hudson s ship, although In tow. able to dispense with the tug. A favor able breeze caught her canvas, the tow line was cast off and with cheers from the thousands watching from the Staten island shore and the surround ing boats the two little vessels pro ceeded under their own power. Then occurred an accident for which apparently both vessels were to blame. When off the St. George ferry, landing at the north end of Staten Island, something went wrong with the machinery of the Clermont and she came to a sudden stop. The pilot of the Half Moon tried to steer cear but failed and the Half Moon struck the steamboat broad side abaft the paddle wheel. Im mediately all sails on the Half Moon were dropped and the escorting tug hurried to her side. On the Cler mont Captain Ulster Davis was shout ing orders, but Fulton's boat could move neither forward nor backward. Slowly the tug pulled the Half Moon away. A hasty examination, however, showed that the damage was trifling. The ornamental work on the cut wa ter of the Half Moon was smashed nearly to the water line and 15 feet of the Clermont's rail was bent in and considerable paint was scratched from the port side. Sails were soon hoisted again aboard the Half Moon and she proceeded to Stapleton. The Clermont dropped an chor off St, George to await the start of the naval parade. j DISLIKE FRAXKLE SENTENCE. Pratt Citizens Think Punishment too Light tor Crime. Pratt, Kan., Sept. 25. The case of Franklin, the. negro who stabbed. J. D. Brown "to death oh Sunday Inst April at Hutchinson came up in the district court at Hutchinson and the prisoner plead guilty to manslaughter in the first degree and was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of from five to twenty years. This sentence was entirely too light as there was no provocation in the case that would give the murderer any cause to take a life but the costs of the case was figured in and It seem ed better to some, to let him out in a few years in good shape to commit more crimes of the same nature than to put the county of Reno to any extra costs. Franklin has been a bad "nigger according to those who know him. and who knew him said that It was believed that other serious crimes that remained unpunished in Hutch inson could be traced to this culprit, yet he has got a sentence of five years for killing a man.

S NEVER USED A BANK. Belatire of Miser Surprised at Luck of Cash. Search of Premises Regan Fol lowing His Death. Indlanola, la., Sept. 25. More than $.12,000 has been dug out of the ground where the late Andy Dickson buried it cn his farm near Palmyra, and the 'authorities have been directed by Judge Edmund Kichols to report again to the (arm Monday and continue the search. ;lt Is believed that more than $25,000 in ,old pieces will be found on the place When It is thoroughly searched. IMckson 3ied at the age of 80 years, At his home, three miles from Palmyra and 13 miles from Indianola, on Aug ust 2D. To th-i amazement of his widow id his other relatives he had no chil dren he was found not to have any money in the bank. The nephew of his ftvife, Andrew Smith, was n.ade admin tttrator of the estate, and whep it got nmmnn ernsln in the neighbor hood that there was countlcrs hurled treasure on the larm. ne iu ms- girig about the place. a o choH nld and dilatndatea. about from the house in which IMckson and his wife lived anu where e died, Smith discovered $2,300 in gold pieces, many of them being $1 coins. He at once reported the matter here, .and Fridav Judge Nichols direete-.l Sheriff Kimer. who took L-?e Hiatt of the board of supervisors with him, to earch the Diokson premises. ihey it.

In a Klas one was $4,005. and in an earth nware jar was found $6,000. The money ivras brought here and placed in safe 'cvstody, and the court directed ths sheriff to return Mondav and prose cute further the tearch for treasurs wi-lch is still believed to be buried on tbrickson was miserely. He had few relatives. He was childless and of his lour brothers and four sisters but one Is living and his whereabouts are un known. He owned 260 acres of very fine land which made him an annual rental of from $1,200 to $1,500. He own ed 1.000 chickens and from these h3 secured the income on which he and his wife lived. His farm he began to rent out twenty years ago. He was discovered never to have placed a cent in the bank and his ex penses were very small. It is recalled that whenever he received silver or paper money he always asked to have It changed into gold pieces. It was these coins that he buried. As he approached death a relative of his wife, named Garrett, sitting by his bedside, thought to prepare the old man for death by suggesting to him the possibility of his demise. He was un affected. The visitor suggested that probably it would be wise for him. under the circumstances, to tell his wife of the money he had, for it was neighborhood gossip that he had an Immense amount of money somewhere. Could Not Tell Where It Was. "Tes," whispered the dying man, "I have lots of money, lots of money, in many, many places. But I would have to show you where it Is." They were Ills last words, but just before he died he placed in the hands of his wife the key to the little house where $12,305 al ready has been unearthed. She, won dering what he had done with money, nevertheless, did not think of find ing the fortune in the shed, the key to which he had given her with shaking fingers. The old man operated a blacksmith shop for many years, too. It was the source of considerable revnue, also, and It has been supposed than in and about Jt may be found more gold coin. In deed, search of the place disclosed the location of a sort of a box or receptable under the floor, but the box is gone, probably buried up at the smoke house ;with the rest of the treasure. The Income of the old man's farm for j twenty-eight years has not been ac counted for. and It is believed that 'from $4,000 to $8,000 will yet be found on the place, possibly vastly more. The place is covered with little old houses end sheds and tree stumps. They will l)e diligently searched. HARRY SMITH DEAD." He Was Prominent In Indiana Politics and Business Affairs. Fort Wayne. Ind., Sept. 25. Harry B. Smith, president of the Citizens' Na- tlonal bank of Hartford City, Ind president of the Evansville Southern Indiana Traction company, a principal 'Mockholder in other Interurban rail roads and a prominent figure in In diana Democracy, died early today at the St. Anthony hotel in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Smith came here last night from Hartford City. Mrs. Smith awakened and found her husband had suffered a stroke of apoplexy. Physi cians were summoned but Mr. Smith died In a few minutes after their ar rival. He was 60 years of age. Woman Disregards Time.' "Women take too much time in dressing and primping," said Judge Crowe of this city, during the trial of a case recently. "They have no idea of the Inconvenience it causes their hus bands, friends, and admirers. A wo man has no regard for time; she will take half an hour to adjust three halr pins. "I'll be ready In five minutes, Is her usual greeting to her escort. She will then go upstairs and take an hour fixing herself up. She fails to realize that the man who is spending his money to show her a good time may ihave a taxicab -waiting for which he .Is paying by the hour. Her slowness causes the couple to get to their des tination late, and If it is the theater they have to pay. high prices for seats or take inferior ones. She will then complain if her escort is in a bad hu mor; I don't blame him. "Even married women frequently force their husbands to eat cold meals by keplng the repast waiting while they primp up. "Women should be made to dress by the clock, the same as a man works. They should run on schedule lime." New York World. seen by tmims.

Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder Is outranked by both Admiral von Koes ter of the German Imperial navy and Admiral Sir Edward Seymour of the British Royal navy. A movement to petition the president to place Aa miral Dewey in command was promptly halted by Admiral Dewey himself, who said tnat nis neaitn ana age would not permit him to under take eleht days of full-dress duty and banqueting. The appointment of Ad miral Seymour to these waters is re garded as another evidence of King Edward s tact. Aamirai tscymour was in command of the British fleet in Manila Bay on the day when Com modore Georgre Dewey annihilated the Spanish fleet, and the rejoinder of his captain, bir isawaro unicnesier, to the German commander who inquired before Dewey went into action and while the attitude of the German fleet, then at anchor in the same waters, was still a matter of anxiety, what action the English proposed to take, won him instant popularity in this country and passed into history, crystallized in the aphorisms of Mr. Dooley: "That," said Sir Edward, with siEmifieant ambiguity, "is a matter known only to Admiral Dewey and myself!"

"THE KATY LIMITED" New Fast Train From Kansas City to Fort Worth Will Reduce the Time. Announcement is made by W. S. St. George, general passenger agent of the Missouri. Kansas Texas, of a new train which will be installed on this road, between St. Louis, Kansas City and Texas. This train will be known as "The Katy Limited" and will be one of the best trains running to the southwest, and one which will be greatly appreciated by the travel ing public. This train Is really a new train for all of Its equipment has- just been built and it will be used to morrow for the first time. The train will leave Kansas City daily at 6:20 p. m.; Fort Scott, 8:50 p. m.; Oklahoma City, 7:00 a. m., and will reach Houston, Its destination, at 9:50 p. m. Northbound the train will leave Houston at 7:00 a. m., and will reach Kansas City at 11:25 a. m. This train will undoubtedly be a popular one in Topeka as the after noon trains from here will reach Kansas City in ample time to make connections, and the return trip will be made so that Kansas City may be reached in time to make good con nections for Topeka. The Katy Flyer now gives a good service from Kansas City, but the new train will make an additional fast passenger service. THE PAPER SITUATION, Publishers' Committee Issues a State ment on the Subject. New York, Sept. 25. The committee on paper of the American Newspaper Publishers' association has given out a statement concerning the impending trade issues between Canada and the United States. The statement says: "At the outset the dominion claimed that if the American mills wanted to obtain their supply of pulp wood from Canada the American paper makers should not object to a reasonable rate of duty on paper made in Canada from pulp wood. A committee of the house of representatives after a ten months' study of the subject approved of that view which was confirmed and ratified by the ways and means committee and by the house of representatives. Sen ator Hale objected to such an arrange ment and the United States senate, to please him, upset it and raised the rate above that passed by the house. The provinces of Canada now declare that since the United States has refused to admit print paper upon reasonable terms they will protect Canadian In terests by meeting retaliation with re taliation, and will force many of the American print paper mills to move to Canada. "Canadian retailiatlon will strike American exports as varied as coal and cotton, iron and meat, fruits and automobiles, oil and live stock. But the most serious feature of the pros pective war is that which affects wood products, valued at $30,000,000 brought jnto the United States from the domin ion. DEAD AT THE TROTTLE George Bronger Victim of Heart Dis ease Near Hcmdon, Kan. Beaver City, Neb., Sept. 25.- Dead at the trottle of his engine and the train running itself was the situation presented on the passenger train of the St. Francis branch of the Chi cago, Burlington Quincy railroad near Herndon, Kan., last night. The dea dengineer was George Bronger, a veteran in the service of the com pany, who had succumbed to heart disease while at his post. His rigid position drew the attention of the fireman, who ran the train to St. Francis. BULL FROGS THE ISSUE. Independent Candidate for Mayor Advocates Extermination. Howell. Ind.. Sept. 25. Bull frogs are at present a live political issue in Howell, which is surrounded by ponds teeming with frogs. At the coming municipal election. an independent candidate for mayor with a platform advocating extermin ation of the frogs by filling in the ponds, will run against candidates of the Republican, the Democratic and the Prohibition parties. Apparently, the bull frog party will elect its can didate. The Shortest Street In London. There can hardly be a shorter street in London than the one connecting Pall Mall with the southeastern cor ner of St. James' square, from which the name John street has just been removed. It has only one house, which Is No. 1; for though there are two other doors in the street, one is numbered as belonging to Pall Mall and the other is the side entrance of a public house. Presumably, therefore, the single-house is now to be absorbed in St. James' square and the London directory is to lose yet another of the slowly diminishing total of John streets. Westminister Gazette. NEW TRAIN. Rock Island Planning to Cut Texas Time Six Hours. The Rock Island is planning the inauguration of a new train service from Kansas City to Fort Worth, Tex., which will provide a new train for Topeka. According to the pres ent incomplete plans, the train will leave Kansas City at 4:00 p. m., and reach Topeka about 5:30 p. m. This train will reach Forth Worth about 6 o'clock the next morning. On the return trip the train will leave Fort Worth at 4:00 p. m., and will reach Topeka about 6:30 a. m., the next day getting into Kansas City about 8 o clock. This will reduce the present time between the two points about six hours. The train ser vice will not be established befose the fall time card goes into effect on November 7. The train will consist entirely of new equipment, and will be installed to meet the competition for traffic in that direction on the part of the other southwest roads. All the de tails for equipment have not been worked out as yet. MURDERED BY PIRATES Crew of the Revenue Cutter Sora Be lieved to Have Been Killed. Washington, Sept. 25.

Bailey, of Texas, in joint debate here on Monday, William Jen nings Bryan telegraphed from Vail, Ariz., this morning that as he is "en deavoring to secure a Democratic ma jority in the next congress," and is proposing a tentative Democratic plat form he believed a debate would turn attention from the issue.

New York, Sept. 25. By staking a large fortune on the future prosperity of the United States at a time when business conditions were panicky, Frank A. -Munsey, the publisher, is said to have cleaned up more than $5,000,000 profits through stock in vestments made during and immedi ately after the disastrous financial panic of 1907. This winning, by reason of a nervy personal bull campaign conducted against the advice of many of his most intimate friends, yields him one of the biggest individual profits recorded in Wall street. On steel common alone, of which he is saia to nave had 100,000 shares, bought around the 40 mark, and some of it as low as 22, when the after panic depression was greatest, Mr. Munsey is credited with makiner 13.- 000,000, which the street consideres plausible. The balance of the Munsey holdings, so Wall street hears, consists of rail road and industrial shares scattered through nearly a score of corporations. WRIGHTS VILL SUE.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1909. 9 mm rm fit (cmm a We have reference on file in our office from Central Bank and Trust Corporation, Atlanta, Ga. The National Bank of Bruns wick, Ga. Third National Bank Atlanta, Ga.; The American National Bank, Macon, Ga. Ex change National Bank, Fitzger ald, Ga.; Atlantic National Bank Jacksonville, Fla. With various others from parties with com mercial rating as to us personal ly, our honesty and their confi dence in our proposition. We are ready any moment to verify them by wire at our expense to any callers.. jSf I i Got .Below ITS RICH OPPORTUNITII .Fro si This is what we want to hammer into your minds, l It's important to you. What We Are Offering Is some of the choicest Trucking, Vegetable, Fruit, Orange, Grape Fruit and Celery land in Polk county, surrounding the new town of Davenport, Florida, The Atlantic Coast Line R. R. running through the property giving you the quickest transportation to the markets of the world. This has been subdivided into 5 acre tracts. Our determination is to make this the best colony town and the finest gardening section around it in the state. We were not aware of how little people of this section know about Florida before locating our western office here. Neither were we aware that nearly every wild cat scheme in the nature of a land proposition had been dumped into Kansas, and many good dollars had been spent in the purchase of gold brick land schemes that could not be located today. No wonder people are skeptical; we would be, too, under the circumstances. But can you doubt your own eyes? Read these tes timonials; it may mean comfort for you in the future. Averaged $700 Per Acre on Strawberries In 1903, while engaged In track gardening, near Lakeland, the yield from my strawberries averaged $700 per acre clear profit. .In the same year, the net profit from Irish potatoes averaged $400 per acre. .1 have never been a successful farmer. I know of many Instances where the yield .per acre on crops grown by other farmers far exceeded the figures I have given. In fact, if the entire truth were told as to the pro ductivity of our land, and the assistance the crops receive from our mild winter climate, many would hesitate to believe at all, and would consider the statements to be fabrications placed In circulation only as book material. Lakeland, Polk County, Kla. J. W. Ellis. Profits of $325 Per Acre on Egg Plants $300 on Pepper Have lived in this locality for the past 12 years. Had a great deal of experience in trucking, having made to the acre as much as $150 on tomatoes, $200 on srtlng beans, $325 on egg plants and $300 on pep pers. The lake region in which Elotse is located Is the home of the orange, the warmth of the lakes act ing as a preventative against cold. The land is of a deep yellow loam and resists drought finely, it being underlaid with a subsoil of clay. My citrus fruit groves contain 45 acres and are just coming into bearing. From all indications they will prove very valuable. They are now worth from $200 to $800 per acres. Will be plad to answer any In quiries relating to this part of Polk county. Eloise, Polk County, Fla. T. A. Currie. Realized $10,600 on 10 Acres in One Year I came to Florida 14 years ago. Knew nothing of truck growing. I had farmed some In western Kan sas. The first year I put in a small patch of straw berries, not over an acre and a half, at an expense of $38. The yield amounted to $1,064.15. I then sold plants oil of the same acre and a half to the amount of $643. After this I made a comprehensive study of the truck farming business as applicable to Flor ida and from three-fourths of an acre planted to cel ery I received $3,300. That season I had 6 3-4 acres in truck and berries and realized $10,600 for the year's work. I will sell $5,000 worth of oranges tills year, beside large quantities of truck. Florida is the poor man's country and if a man who wants to work can not succeed in this county he had as well move off the earth, as there is no hope for him. K. Iv. Kinney, fruit grower, trucker. Lakeland, Polk county, Fla. Over $5,000 Profits on Truck I have lived in Florida for the past six years. Came here from Tennessee to escape the rigors of the Ten nessee climate. I am in the truck farming and strawberry growing business. I have a place of 46 acres, 25 acres of which are cleared and 15 acres of the 25 are under irrigation. I use the Skinner sys tem as Installed by Mr. Holbrook of Lakeland and the system easily pays for itself. It costs about $200 per acre to Install it. I raise strawberries, string beans, peppers, squash,beets and many other varieties of vegetables. Under favorable conditions, I make from $300 to $500 per acre from my crops. I have marketed $8,000 worth of truck in one season, mak ing over $5,000 clear profit. I have traveled all over, the North and West and find Polk county to be the best that I have ever visited and I am firmly con vinced that a hustler will not make a mistake by pur chasing land in this section. Bartow, Polk county, Fla. -j' S. P. James. Av. temperature for June for 36 yrs. Is 80.77 degrees. Av. temperature for July for 86 yrs. Is 82.40 degrees. Av. temperature for Aug. for 36 yrs. is 82.27 degrees. Av. temperature for Sept. for 86 yrs. Is 78.40 degrees. Av. temperature for Dec. for 36 yrs. Is 56.12 degrees. Av. temperature for Jan. for 86 yrs. Is 59.69 degrees. Av. temperature for Feb. for 36 yrs. Is 67.59 degrees. At. temperature for Mar. for 86 yrs. Is 64.16 degrees. Average annual temperature Is about 65 degrees. Average rainfall Is about 53 inches. Cool, salt sea breezes constantly aweep the Florida Peninsula either from the Gulf or the Atlantic. It la an actual fact that the summer heat In Polk county Is never so excessive or oppressive as In Chi cago, New York, St. Iiouis, and other large cites. Some light covering is almost always necessary every night during the summer. Sunstrokes or heat prostrations are absolutely unknown. STOP AND THINK A MOMENT! Jf- Buys from us 5 acres of fully as good or better land than these people are cultivating land that it has been fully demonstrated will net per tract annually for 2,000 to 5,000 Dollars. Some say we have made the first payments large and if parties are dissatisfied and drop out we will be ahead of the game others that their salaries are too small to meet the terms, etc. NOW LISTEN! We are clean business men and have a clean proposition. We are willing to come into the lime light, give you every opportunity of any investigation and guarantee every lot of land we sell you to be as represented or your money back. W e Make Yom Jl-.JfM! 0 Days Off $C fA Down and Ten Dollars monthly we will sell you these 5-acre tracts. Or if not in position to pay monthly, where you can OoUU give us a note (gilt edge), we will make you a contract with all guarantees as advertised "F 3E""BB g vsmmi CASH This should disarm your skepticism and inspire confidence in our honesty and the truth of our proposition. Now get busy, act today; tomorrow may be too late! All mail orders will receive prompt attention and get the closest-in location. Procrastination has stolen many opportunities. Do it right now before you lay aside the paper, as we will possibly move our office to Chicago after October 1st, were people know and value Florida lands.
