"The Conquest of the Pole," printed in the State Journal, October 2. Doctor Frederick A. Cook told of the etart from Gloucester, on the Bradley, of the voyage to the polar seas and of the overhauling en route of the equip ment needed for dash to the pole. In a graphic manner the discoverer wrote a story of Eskimo life that nev er has been excelled for human Inter est. He told of the home life, the tragedy and comedy that mingled in the dreary existence of the dwellers in the Arctic, and of the childlike eag erness of the natives to trade their valuable furs and ivories for the sim plest things of civilization. The yacht, her owner, Mr. John R. Bradley, the explorer and his party vere pictured in their preliminary work for the final dash. Finally, after describing the various places visited in Greenland in search of guides and Information as to con ditions farther north. Doctor Cook wrote of trip across Inglefield Gulf, past Cape Auckland and on toward Cape Robertson. Here the discoverer closed the first part of his narrative, with Etah and Annootok, the last points of call, looming in the icv distance. In the second installment Doctor Cook describes the voyage to Etah and then on to Annootok, the place of plenty, which he selected as the base for his dash to the pole. He describes the work of preparing his winter quarters, closing with a graphic description of a narwhal hunt. In the third installment Doctor. Cook told of the first progress of his little party and the last sight of land, and the adventures on the perilous trip wnn the two Eskimos who went to the pole with him. In the fourth installment the discoverer describes the approach of the long Arctic night which caused his party at Annootok to become very active in preparing for the dash to the .pole. In the fifth installment, printed yester day. Dr. Cook told of the actual Btan en r rDruury iv. ana uescrrueu the equipment he took for his great final dash. In the sixth installment, printed below, the discoverer tells of the first progress of -his little party and the last sight of land, and his adventures on the perilous trip with the two Eskimos who went to the pole with him.

Koolootlngwah' and Inugito had been I our bedfellows for the entire north ward run, and they had gone through many dangerous and hard experiences together. We therefore felt more keen ly their departure than the going of the first six. We were at first lonely, but the exigencies of our problem were soon sufficiently engaging to occupy every call and strain every fiber. Party Reduced to Three. Now our party was reduced to three, and. though the isolation was more op pressive, there were the usual advan tages for greater comfort and progress of a small family of workers. The in-

i V- ESKIMO MOTHER AND BABE. creased number of a big expedition al ways enlarges the responsibility and difficulties. In the early part of a polar venture this disadvantage is eliminated by the survival of the fittest, but after the last supporting sleds return the men are married to each ot.ier and can no longer separate. A disabled or un fitted dog can be fed to his companions, but an injured or weak man cannot be put aside. An exploring venture is only as strong r,s its weakest member, an.i increased numbers, like increased 'links in a chain, reduce efficiency. The personal idiosyncrasies and in conveniences always shorten the day's march: but, above all, a numerous par ty quickly divides into cliques, which are always opposed to each other, to the leader and to the best Interests of the problem in hand. With but two savage companions, to whom this ar duous task was but a part of an ac customed life of frost, I hoped to over come many of the natural personal harriers to the success of arctic expedi tions. Visfor of Man and Beast. By dead reckoning our position was latitude 82 degrees 23 minutes, longi tude 95 degrees 14 minutes. A study of the ice seemed to indicate that we had passed beyond the xone of Ice crushed by the influence of land pressure. Ee- 8f sr 3-. i 5-.- hind were great hummocks and small ice; ahead was a cheerful expanse of larger floes. Using the accumulated vigor of man and beast, we had ad vancd a degree of la' 'tude In three days. Our destination was about 460 miles beyond. JJB. COOK AS BE APPEARED WHEN HE BEACHED COPENHAGEN. But our life had assumed quite an other aspect. Previously we permitted ourselves some luxuries. A pound of coal oil and a good deal of musk ox tallow were burned each day to heas. the igloo and to cook abundant food. Extra meals were served when an oc casion called for it. and each man ate and drank all he desired. If the stock ings or the mittens were wet there was fire enough to dry them out. But all of this must now be changed. Pcmmican Fed to Dogs and Men. There was a shorter daily allowance of food and fuel one pound of pemmi can per day for the dogs, about the same for the men, with Just a taste of other things. Fortunately, we were well stuffed for the race with fresh meat in the lucky run through game tends. rB. COOK HUNT IK 01 WALEUB- At first no great hardshiD followed the changed routine. We filled up suf ficientV" on two cold meals and used superfluous bodily tissue. It was no longer possible to jump on the sled for ah occasional breathing spell- as i a n v. we naa aone aiong ine tanu. v mi overloaded sleds the drivers must push and pull at the sleds to aid the dogs, and I searched the troubled ice for an easy route, cutting here and there with the Ice ax to Dermit the passing of the sles. Sixty-Three Below Zero. We are finally stripped for the race. Man aid dog must walk alon. together througn storms and frost for that elu sive pivot. Success or faiiure depended mostly upon our ability to transport rourishment and to keep up the mus cular strength for a prolonged period. As we awoke on the following morn ing and peeped out of. the eye port, the sun was edging along the northeast, throwing a warm orange glow on us that gladdened our hearts. The tem perature was 63 degrees below zero F.; the barometer was steady and high. There was almost no wind, and not a cloud lined the dome of pale purple blue. "A Boulder of Pemmlcan." After two cups of tea. a watch sized biscuit, a chip of frozen meat and a boulder of pemmlcan we crept out of the bags. The shivering legs were pushed through bearskin cylinders, which served as trousers; the feet were worked into frozen boots, and then we climbed into fur coats, kicked the front out of the snow house and danced! about to start the" fires of the heart. Quickly the camp furnishings were tossed on the sleds and securely lash-1 ed down. The dog traces were gath-1 ered into the drag lin-s, and with a vigorous snap of the long wnip me willing creatures bent to the shoulder straps. The sleds groaned, ana tne un yielding snows gave a metallic ring, tut the train moved with a cheerful pace. "Unne noona terronga dosangwah" (good iand out of sight today) we said to one another, but the words did not come with serious intent. In truth, each in his own way felt keenly that we were leaving a world of life and possible comfort for one of torment and suffering. Heiberg island was already only a dull blue hpjie. while Grant Land wa's making fantastic figures of its peaks and ice walls. A Desolate Coast Line. The stamp of reality had given place to a wave of curious mirages. Some peaks seemed like active volcanoes: others rose to exaggerated heights and pierced the changing skies with multi ple spires like church steeples. Alto gether this unexpected panorama of the upper surface of Grant Land under the influence of optical illusions gave us considerable entertainment. At every breathing spell the heads turned to the land, and every look gave a new prospect. From belching volca noes to smoking cities of modern bus tle the mirage gave suggestive bits of scenes, but a more- desolate line of coast could not be imagined. .Low wind swept and ice polished mountains were separated by valleys filled with great depths of snow and ice. This interior accumulation mov ed slowly to the sea, where it formed a low ice fall, a glacier of the mala spina type, but its appearance was more like that of heavy sea; hence (Continued on Page Six.) a i- DYCHE SURPRISED North Pole Hunter Doesn't Un derstand Pearj.

"Cjpok and Peary and VI J ui Lilt Ul III T UIC, v. v. i will be given on Friday evening by Professor Lewis Ldndsey Dyche, the! companion of both Cook and Peary on former arctis trips and now of the University of Kansas, at the Audi torium is a topic of conversation on the streets, and indications are that a great throng will gather to hear the man speak who has been on expeditions with both Cook and Peary and who himself has gone through many in tensely thrilling experiences in the Arctic regions. There is probably no man living better fitted to give full and complete character sketches of the men who are at present engaged in a con troversy over the North Pole honors as Is Prof. Dyche. and to aescrme tne hardships which these men who are i the public eye necessarily had to en dure during their quest of the north ernmost point of the earth. Prof. Dyche, who was a visitor at the office of the State Journal, told in an interesting manner of some of his per sonal experiences in northern latitudes, and discussed to some extent the theme of his lecture at the Auditorium. In regard to the latter he had the follow ing to say: His Own Experiences. "I expect to tell of my own experi ences with Cook and Peary and other wise In the Arctic regions and give my ideas of 'Cook and Peary and Discovery of the North Pole.' I like this title bet ter than the one I first gave out. I will show pictures of the country with its ice rivers. Eskimos, and their pe culiar surroundings, the dogs and sledges and the animals of the coun try. I will have something to say of hunting walrus and bears. It will be a pictorial description of the country. "I have colored the slides myself and they look just like the scenes as I saw them. If I had taken them to a pho tographer's they would have colored them highly. The ice bergs would be in blue and green tints but that wouldn't suit me. "There is no doubt in my mind but both Cook and Peary have discovered the Pole," continued the professor. "Both are good men and experienced Arctic explorers. I can hardly make myself belief that Peary sent out some of the telegrams that were credited to him. When I was with him he was ordinarily conservative and careful in Lregard to what he said and it is hard for an ordinary person to unaersiano. why he would adopt such methods even though he positively had the informa tion he says he has. "First he telegraphed. 'Don't take Cook seriously." Later he made the statement through the same medium that Cook did not discover the pole on April 21, 1908 or on any other date. Then he asserted that Dr. Cook was throwing gold bricks at the peo ple the wireless golden brick mes sage branding Dr. Cook as an impos tor. It is impossible to understand those messages considering his usual dignity and his connection with the U. S. navy. "Cook says his greatest crime seems to have been that he did not ask Peary's permission to visit the Polar regions. Cook has shown great com mon sense in this controversy. Had an Even Start. "The two explorers had about an even start. That is they both made a start from points at a latitude in the neighborhood of about 81 or 82 de grees. Peary went almost as the crow flies, "starting not very far east of Cape Columbia. Cook made bis start from Nansen Sound. "When Cook got to 85 degrees and 11 minutes he found land, and this was a might fortunate thing for him. He describes it as being 1,800 feet high. If it can be proved that he did n't discover the land then his conten tion is all a fake. "Every time you want a drink," said Prof. Dyche in speaking of life in the land of snow, "you have to have some oil to burn to keep the water hot so it won't freeze before it reaches your lips. No Eskimo ever eats blub ber or drinks oil as is generally imag ined. The Eskimos eat raw meat chiefly lean meat with some fat. They wouldn't eat any more fat than I would. They save the fat and bum it "On Friday evening if I don't talk too long I shall be glad to spend half an hour answering questions." said the explorer in conclusion. Seats will be on sale at Stanfield's as long as they last. 25 cents each to any part of the auditorium; no extra charge for reserved seats, if reserved soon. ALL SUITS DISMISSED. And Contempt Proceedings Stopped in Columbia Bank Case. Lawton, Okla., Oct 6. On motion of attorneys representing the National Life Insurance company of Chicago and S. W. Smith of Missouri, the. in junction suits against State Bank Com missioner A. M. Toung and the state banking board, brought, to prevent the preferential payment of depositors in the matter of the Columbia Bank and Trust company of Oklahoma City, and demanding the appointment of a re ceiver for the institution were today dismissed here by Federal Judge J. H. CotteraL By request also of the plaintiff the information asking: that the state banking board be cited to appear for contempt of the temporary restraining order issued last Saturday was with drawn. An effort had been made to show that Commissioner Young in con tinuing to pay depositors was ignoring the court's order. MIX THE WINNER. American Aeronaut Captures. Gordon Bennett Cup. the Zurich. Oct. 6. The International balloon race for-the Gordon Bennett cup has been won by Edgar W. Mix, the American aeronaut of Columbus, O. Mr. Mix landed north of Warsaw, in Russian Poland, at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. He has won with plenty of time to spare from Alfred Leblanc, the French pilot, his companion in the St. Louis race of 1907, who came down at Kubin. Hungary, Monday afternoon. The first news of Mix's landing was contained in a personal dispatch to the Associated Press,- dated Ostrolenka. The aeronaut said:- "I landed in the midst of a large pine tree in the forest of Gutova, west of Ostolenka and north of Warsaw, at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. I encoun tered a heavy rain. My ballast was exhausted when I came down. At present I am in the hands of the po lice, but all is going well. "I had bad weather Sunday night. It was cloudy and rain fell, and I used half my ballast before morning. The weather was so thick that it was im- possible to locate my position except for one hour south of Prague and a star observation -1 took at latitude 51.45.1 and longitude 10.03.8." Throujrh Fg and Rain. Mix made his journey through fog and blinding rain storms which com pelled all the other pilots to descend. After crossing the Swiss and Austrian Alps, Captain Messner one of the Swiss pilots reported that his clothes were covered with ice- to a thickness of half an inch. Messner reached an altitude of 18.000 feet. Of the division of the balloons which were carried more to the southward. LeBlanc reached the farthermost point. He descended in the foothills of the Carpathian moun tains, being forced to abandon his bal loon owing to an accident upon land ins. LeBlanc covered a distance estima ted at 1,015 kilometers, 630.31 miles. Messner's distance was about the same as Le Blanc's and Colonel Schaek, a Swiss entrant, covered 795 kilometers. 493.69 miles. The others covered lesser distances. Erbslah's record of 1.403 kilometers, 871.26 miles, made from St. Louis in 1907, is the longest flight made in an international race, although behind Count De La Vaulx's record trip to southern Russia. It Is impossible to explain why Mix should have been molested by the Rus sian police, as in anticipation of a landing in Russia, each of the pilots w as provided at Zurich with a' special Russian passport guaranteed by the KusEian minister to Switzerland to pro tect them against annoyance. The American embassy at St. Peters burg has been advised of Mix's pre dicament and asked to take the mat ter up at once with the Russian auth orities. The distance from Zurich td the point where Mix landed has been given as 1,100 kilometers, or 683.1 miles. An exact classification of the per formances of the -contestants' will be impossible until their log books arrive, but Mr. Mix is ah easy winner. Alfred LeBlanc. representing France, and Captain Messner, .representing Switzerland, each of whom made slightly more than 800 kilometers, about 496 miles, are named ror second place. but this probably will not be aetermln ed until the official announcement Is made. Colonel Schaeck, also of Switzerland, last year's winner, is fourth with about 775 kilometers, a little more than 4M miles; Captain--von Abercrom, repre senting Germany is fifth, and V. De Beauclair, another Swiss, is sixth. The distance covered by Mix is vari ously estimated from 683 to 931 miles. LAHM CUP IS LOST. Two St. Louis Balloons Have Been Sighted In Minnesota. St. Louis, Oct. 6 That the Lahm cup for long distance balloon flights has been won from Captain C. De Forest Chandler, U. S. A., .was made certain today when two of the balloons which started from St. Louis late Mon day were sighted above Minnesota towns. The St. Louis III, S. L. Von Phut of. St. Louis, pilot, was 60 miles ahead of Captain Chandler's record when it sailed over St. Cloud, Minn. at 8:30 this morning. Captain Chandler won the cup in October, 1907, by voyaging from St. Louis to Walton, W. Va., 474.8 miles from the start. The Indiana, H. H. McGill, pilot, passed over Renville, Minn., and the balloon Centennial, H. E. Honeywell, pilot, passed over Alice ville, Ala., today. Balloon Cleveland Lands.' Alexandra City, Ala., Oct. 6. The balloon Cleveland, under the direction of Pilot J. H. Wade. Jr., landed safely five miles northeast of here at 8:30 o'clock this morning, after having trav eled 450 miles in an air line from St. Louis. A. H. Morgan was the other occupant. DIVIDEND OF 3 PER CENT Has Been Declared on the Common Stock of the Santa I'e. New York, Oct. 6. The directors of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe-rail-way today declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent on the common stock. This is an increase of per cent over the last previous semi-annual dividend. It was announced that dividends hereafter will be declared quarterly instead of semi-annually. T. Dewitt Cuyler of Philadelphia was elected a director in place of the late H. H. Rogers. Mr Cuyler is also a director of the Pennsylvania Rail road company. o Change in Weather.

Temperance Conrtntlon Will Strike at Heart of Matter. SEN. CURTIS TONIGHT United States Senator en Sen ate Temperance Committee. John Marshall Preparing: Briefs Supt. StahPs Report. Interstate commerce legislation which would work to the end of the disfranchisement of brewers and oth ers from shipping liquor into prohibi tion territory will be endorsed by the legislative committee of the State Temperance union when they report late this afternoon at the regular busi ness meeting and election of officers. Following only shortly after this ac tion will have been taken, Senator Charles Curtis will address the assem bly' tonight on the subject of "Needed Legislation," and it is thought that perhaps he will wander from his sub ject far enough to answer Governor Stubbs' explanation of how the state contingent fund has been increased to an amount $6,000 larger than ever before. Senator Curtis, who is a member of the temperance committee on legisla tion of the national legislature, now has a bill introduced in the senate to prohibit the shipping of liquor into "dry" territory. -The committee will meet December 12 next to consider matters important to temperance, and John Marshall, first assistant attorney general of Kansas, at Senator Curtis' own request, is now preparing a brief for use of the committee at tnat time. Report of Superintendent Stahl. With pointed statement that public officials, both county and municipal, in most all parts of the state, are doing their duty, the report of Superintend ent Frank M. Stahl of the union was made before the conference today. In part he said: "Through the work done by the at torney general In connection with the State Temperance Union, the Joints have been forced from all public places, in several of the larger towns, and from many counties where the lawless ele ment have had their own way so long that they seemed to think they werd a law unto themselves. "After a few rounds with public of ficials like Jackson, Marshall, Codding and Shukers. when blows came thick and fast and S100 to X300 fines and 30 to W- day sentences' in Jail followed with lightning- rapidity, costs of trials became onoressLve and tiresome. In junctions were thick as thistles, strik ing in unexpected quarters, ana wnen the padlock and lockout came it was the solar plexis blow that made the law violators throw up the sponge. "The standup and open fight in the public arena, is a thing of the past. The violator of tiie prohibitory law Joes not advertise hia place of business any more. He has become a poltroon.adouble- nealer, a nariah, and a sneak, uoiera ted to some extent by his patrons, but hated and despised by all. you find him in the cellar, the attic, the shed, the aiitv in out of the way places. ie or ganizes chip-in-keg parties, sneaks around and aer.ds word to the boys tviut th Wee- has arrived and will be ready for them at night at the usual place. '(-omnlalnts like this are common, and the question is 'What shall we do?' "We say one affair like this may be beyond the control of either public of ficers or local helpers, twice brings the parties near the danger line, ana re peated a third time .makes it a drink ing place and a nuisance, and clearly under the ban and in violation of law. "Here is where the local workers must take a part in the work; either through a well organized committee, by the minister, or some man or wo man, facts and data can be gathered which will form the groundwork for successful inquisition. "In case any county attorney is care less, incapable, or wilfully wrong, or refuses to take cognizance of informa tion gathered and presented such infor mation sent to the attorney general's office or to the State Temperance Un ion will be placed where results will follow, and either the lawless element or the delinquent official will sit up and take notice. "The State Temperance union is sending out booklets to places where a fight is being made against the li quor traffic. To many places the his tory of the cleansing of a great city has been sent out by hundreds of thousands; in lots of from ten copies to as high as 5,000 copies to a single address, to England, to Prince Ed wards Isle, to Russia, to Canada, to Maine to California, and to many other states. Big Work at Little Cost. "We are sending out forms for or dinances to be used by incorporated towns or cities covering the prohibi tory liquor law, the cigarette law, the gambling law, the pool hall, and the Sabbath desecration law: "I think it is safe to say that no in stitution in- Kansas can show the amount of work done by the State Temperance union at so small an out lay of money. The general statement shows bills due and unpaid October 1. 1909 to be $2,543.58; subscriptions $18,827.68; fees $12.50. The out standing debt one year ago was $3, 335.55. The outstanding debt is $2, 401.74, a reduction of $933.81. The debt at the present time is decreasing at the rate of about $100 per-'month. The financial outlook for the union in the future is promising. The peo ple of Kansas recognize its work, know what it has done, and is now doing, and are showing their appre ciation in a substantial way.' Addresses Made Today. Addresses were delivered before the convention this morning by Rev. Robert Norris, Rev. Clerin Zumwalt, Rev. Harlen T. Davis, Wichita; Rev. Julius Smith, Baldwin; Imri. Zumwalt, Bonner Springs, and A. B. Pomeroy, Topeka. Mrs. Lillian Mitchner had charge of the W. C. .T. U. hour which was followed by the ministers hour at which time short addresses were de livered by ReW F. N. Lynch, pastor First M. E. church, Topeka; Rev. M. L. Laybourn, pastor First Presbyter-1 ian church, Phfllipsburg; Rev. J. M. Dunlavey, Kansas City, Kan.; Rev. Homer E. Wark, pastor First M. E. church. Leavenworth. During the afternoon Attorney General Jackson delivered an address in 'The Law, the Lawyer and the People," followed by Capt. Clad Ham ilton of Topeka, who discussed "The Kansas Boy at Home and Abroad." Hon. James A. Troutman of Topeka, talked from the subject "The Rain bow." The conference will close tonight with the evening service at which time Senator Charles Curtis will talk regarding "Needed Legislation." John Marshall, first assistant attor ney general, will discuss the "Question of the Hour." There will also be a song service and select reading by Miss Clara Crumb. INTO THE TREASURY. First Money to State From Inherit- ance Tax. The first inheritance tax has been received-by the state treasurer. It came-, in the form of a check for $531.47, or the state's share of the estate of -James L. Patten of Cowley county, .who died not long ago. The Patten estate is valued at $18,648, so the percentage of. the tax in this case is about 3 per cent. However, the per cent of the tax is graduated by the degree of relationship of the heirs to the testator, being less in cases of direct succession of children and grading upward where kinship or natural succession is not so close. Since the new tax law passed by the last legislature the state has been placed in line for a number of shares in this estate proposition but this check is the first real money turned into the treasury.

Jeffries, who arrived in London last night from Paris, does not anticipate any developments in his prospective fight with Jack Johnson for the heavy weight championship of the world, during his stay in London. He is of the opinion that the meeting will oc cur in San Francisco, and he said to day: "If Johnson is half as ready as I am for the fight, it won't be long af ter my return to America before we are at it."

Advantages Do Net Compensate for Suffering Entailed. BETTER WAY IS FOUND Officers Will Be Instructed iu the Schools. Regimental, Battalion and Com pany Drill for Privates. Washington, Oct. 6. Joint ma neuvers of the regular army and the national guard are a thing of the past; at least there will be no repetition of the recent Boston cam paign, as long as the present direct ing forces in the war department are in control. Some valuable lessons are learned in that period of stress and privation, but the cost in human suffering is held by the war department officials to have been out of all proportion to the benefits derived. And, besides, they are how con vinced that all of the real utility taught to the militiamen could Just as well have been Imparted through other means and without filling the. hospital cots through the campaign and without causing the dreary teats of absence on camp roll call in the national guard armies since then attributable to sickness. The general officers of the regular army and of the National guard who Jointly planned and participated in the Boston campaign, insist that it was a great success. No so the officials of the war department, who are now reckoning with the results. It is true that the militiamen got a taste of conditions as they may exist in actual warfare, but for the most part they returned to their homes a disheartened and dis couraged set of men. That spirit if not calculated to further the plan of the army officers who really de sire to add to the numerical strength of the national guard and to bring It up to highest possible efficiency. Limit Is Set. Wherefore it has been decided that hereafter the participation of the mil itia in an encampment with the regu lar soldiers every second year will he limited to the intermingling of theso forces. Little disposition is manifested here to shirk responsibility for which ac tually occurred. But it Is recalled that after all the. participation of the na tional guard was voluntary. Critics of the maneuvers now de clare that the brunt of the suffering fell upon the private, who it is claim ed did not need that sort of Instruc tion, while the officer could have got ten it otherwise. They contend that company, regi mental and battalion drill in any of the usual yearly encampments of the national guard with the addition of a little systematic cross country march ing from time to time will sufficiently instruct the private; while larger and more complex information needed by the militia officers can be imparted through officers schools. IT'S MONEY SHE WANTS Guggenheim's Answer to His Wife'" Suit to Dissolve Divorce. Chicago, Oct. 6. An answer was fllfd in the circuit court here today by Wil liam Guggenheim, a member of the well known New York family, to a suit brought to dissolve the decree of di vorce, granted his former wife, Grace B. Guggenheim, in 1901. The suit was begun last June aftr ex-Mayor Edward F. Dunne, former judge of the circuit court, who entered the decree, had protested that the court had been imposed upon inasmuch as neither party to the suit was a resident of Illinois, when the case was heard by him. In the document filed today the charge is made that the suit to dissolve the decree of divorce was brought by the former Mrs. Guggenheim in the hope of extorting a large sum of money from Guggenheim. The answer also sets forth that the court has no right power or jurisdiction to modify or an nul the decree' after the expiration five years from the late of the entry of the final order.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1909. GRIGGS JS HOME Topeka Boy Had a Great Year With St. Louis Browns. Carries a Bruised Eye as Result of Practice Accident Sunday CINCHED FIKST BASE lias Landed Permanent Berth by His Splendid Batting. Was Best Hitting First Sacker in American League. Fresh from his first year in the big show, Arthur Griggs, now recognized as a great ball player, arrived home from St. Louis last night. Arthur is r.ow a member in good standing of the St. Louis Browns, and despite the handicap of being a youngster playing his first season up among the big ones Art is known the country over as a ball player. He was one of the leading sluggers in the American League, hav ing hit the ball at a gait somewhere to the dizzy sid of the 300 mark, and fielding up to the same standard. Art looks but little worse for the wear and tear of breaking into the big ehow. He is wearing a pair of smoked glasses which obscures a swollen left eye ball from the casual observer. He Teceived the injury in practice last Sunday at Cleveland and was put out ttfore the games started. Otherwise he is looking as fine as a Chesterfield and as ready for business as the fabled i at ted calf. Topeka's honor in the baseball world has been well upheld by Griggs this season. He is the only real represen tative of the town who can draw salary up among the big ones, and his show ing was creditable in every way. The first year is a hard one. And Griggs found it Just about as hard as any body ever did. At first he was scoffed at by the 'veterans. Down on the Texas training trip early in the spring. Griggs m howed some real flashes of form. This worried some of the veterans who with every movement of the. big Topekan eaw their own Jobs slipping. Griggs oidn't meet with much encouragement. The veterans of the ciub cut him from their speaking list and when the sea son opsned Griggs was anything but a favorite. It was his lot to draw the ugliest looking uniform in the Ameri can League, and he was an object for the fan jesters to shower their atten tions upon. But it couldn't last long that way. Cne day there was need of an outfield er and Art got in the game. He looked good at the plate but didn't field in anything like sensational style. Fiually McAleese got back in the game, and Griggs again kept the bench hot. Again his chance came and he went in at short. Ho was out of position. At second he looked a little better. But by this time Griggs had demonstrated his hitting ability, and he was too !m Dortaiit a factor to be kept on the bench and Griggs had a place some where .in every game. Finally luck broke his Way. ""Tom Jones, the regular first sacker. went to Detroit in the trade bv which Claude Hossman came to the Browns. Ross man tried it a day or two and "got in bad with the bunch." He finally quit the team, because he couldn't stand the gaff. No one was left to play first and Griggs took the job. He is hitting the hall as hard as any first sacker in the American League, not even except ing the great Hal Chase. He is a little raw on the finer fielding points of the game, but time can remedy that de fect. Along with his successes Art is mod est. Even his closest friends have been unable to get him started to telling his own virtues. He admits that he likes Jt up among the big ones, for he says a. piayer can pull down the money. This being his first year didn't bring him as much money as the great Hcnus Wagner received, but he will receive a fatter check on the 1st and 15th of every month of the next season. His friends are predicting a big eeason for him next year, and his work this sea con seems to justify the prognostica tion. Art "Will visit with his parents who live on the east side of town for a tew days, but will leave sometime next week for San Antonio, where he will spend the winter. Art went to the Browns from Santonio. where he put up a great game in 1908 and where he Is a popular as Dr. Cook in Copen hagen. BARONESS VIRGINIA WON.

Harriman System Orders 12, 000,000 of Equipment For Service on the Southern Pa cific and Union Pacific See J. THOMAS LUMBER CO. for lumber and DEWET PORTLAND CE MENT. Guaranteed the best manufactured. FOR SUNDRY PURPOSES Many of the Freight Cars Can Be Put to Many Uses. Other Items of Interest Railway Circles. in Nearly $12,000,000 worth' of new rolling stock and motive power equipment is about to .be placed in service on the lines comprising the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific sys tem. This includes some ,of the largest equipment orders placed dur ing the year, .given in the spring or early summer, and on which -delivery is in progress, as well as or ders for 2,000 earsi just placed. The total, includes 7.884 new cars and 105 locomotives, which ,will be distributed over various parts -of the system. The passenger car -order is for 484 of various .classes, of which nearly all are entirely of steei con struction, making It the largest order for all steel cars placed in the west. The order is divided as follows: Two hundred and forty-six coaches, 35 dining cars, 35' observation cars, and 188 baggage, mail, and express cars. Fifty-four huhtff ed box cars are now being received, arid orders have been placed for- 1,500 steel- re frigerator cars and 500 steel ballast cars. Of the refrigerator cars 1,000 will be of a new and improved type, with collapsible ice bunkers, so that they may be used, for other purposes on the return trip. The locomotive order was placed with the Baldwin Locomotive works and includes 105 engines, half of which are for freight service. In addition to these new orders have been or are about to be placed which will bring the total ex penditure up to about $17,000,000. Economy of Space. In connection with the orders for freight equipment it is notable that an economy in equipment is being effected by the specifications which the Harriman lines and others are requiring. Not long ago when a refrigerator car was ordered it was built in such a manner that it could not be used for anything ex cept the transportation of fruit and perishable products. Now these cars can.be used for the transportation of many kinds of merchandise. Fully 1,000 of the refrigerator cars or dered have collapsible ice hunkers, which allow all the space in the car to be used for loading merchandise when the car is not-' in the re frigerator, service. Multiplicity, ot Uses. In like manner the ballast car of former years could be used for noth ing except for the transportation of ballast. The new ballast cars of the Harriman lines are what are known as "convertible" cars and may be used for the transportation of coal, sugar beets, and general merchandise when demanded. The Harriman lines -are also be ginning -to receive .the first of the 5.400 freight cars and 105 locomo tives ordered 'less than six months ago. Among, the order of. locomotives are thirty-three of the heavy Mallet compound type. These locomotives, it is claimed, haul fully 10 -per cent more than any two of the ordinary locomotives in use. HERE'S A TRAFFIC RECORD. New York Road Carried 13,000,000 During Hudson-Fulton' Festivities. New Tork, Oct. 6. Thirteen' mil lions of passengers to be exact, 12,964,716 is the record in transpor tation which the Interborough Rapid Transit company reported as 1 having been carried by its subway and -elevated lines during seven days from Saturday, September 25, to Friday, October 1, inclusive. This count did not include Saturday's tally of passen gers, which is thought to have been greater than that of any other day of the Hudson-Fulton celebration. The company's officials think that on Saturday 2,000,000 and more passen gers paid their fares, the count not yet being completed, thus bringing the number of passengers carried in eight days of the big show up to 15,000,000. Besides those who paid to ride, the company has issued 10,000 passes to the officers and men of the visiting fleets and to the accredited delegates from other countries. ERIE GOES ONE BETTER.

"During that time it has carried a total of 3,750,000,000 of peo ple, and its passenger trains have run a total of 50,000,000 of miles. The road has been able to make this rec ord partially on account of the fact, it is claimed, that passenger trains are not run at a higher rate of speed than track and roadbed conditions warrant.

Sick Headache And Indigestion The Former Is Very Frequently Caused v by tha Other. The oneumo-gastrlc nerre connecti the stomach region directly with th brain, and when the stomach is out of order the r.ead is almost certain to be affected through reflex or sympa thetic nervous -irritation. The headache of dyspepsia and indi gestion is of every variety from tha dullest and least defined to the most acute pain. Sometimes the whole maaa of the brain seems racked with an guish; at others, the ache Is confined to the back or front part of the head. The first form is usually of a confused character, and is often accompanied by dimness of vision, and a mild vertigo, or i o-called "rush of blood to the head." The victims of this symptom complain of a "awimming" or "lightness" in tha head, and dizziness, or a sensation of motion while the body is still, and specs, or flashes of light before the eyes. Persons subject to Indigestion and other forms of stomach trouble are very frequent sufferers from headache, and in numerous cases a sick headacha is the only noticeable symptom of indi gestion present; in others, there ar stomach manifestations as weli. The majority of people regard thii headache as a separate disease, instead of a symptom of stomach-disease, which it usually is; and they attempt to treat it separately, and make tha mistake of endeavoring to obtain re lief through the use of headache pow ders, tablets, pills and seltzers, the us of which is extremely dangerous, as many of them contain uch powerful depressent drugs as acetanilld, phen acetine, antipynne. caffeine, etc., which depress the heart, brain and nerve cen ters, and lower arterial pressure; and many a person with a weak heart has become dangerously ill shortly after taking one of these headache remedies. They also interfere with the digestive processes, and actually make the dys pepsia worse than before. In order to get rid of the headache of indigestion and most headaches are cauted by stomach trouble one should endeavor to reach and remove the caiue, and the headache effect will soon be relieved. STUART'S DTSPEPSIA TABLETS do not cure the symptoms; they cure the cause of the headache, which perma nently removes the symptoms. They digest every atom of food In the stom ach, cure an rorms oi siomacn trou ble, and the headache, and every other disagreeable symptom and untoward effect Is quickly gotten rid of. Don't make tne mistaice ot trying to cure your dyspepsia or nervou head ache through the use of headache pow ders, tablets, etc. use common sense. mod judgment, and one or two ot Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and you will be agreeably surprised at the rapidity with whicn tne neaaacne win De re lieved and cured simultaneously with the relief and cure of the stomach dis turbance.

Laid Cornerstone of a New Y. 31. 0. A. Building. ATTENDED A BANQUET Was Alse Entertained by the Press Club. Attributes His Election to His Trip to the Philippines. San Francisco. Oct. 6. After a few hours' rest, which' he heeded because o the strenuous night of banqueting and receptions, President Taft departed early this morning for a few days of real rest in Yosemite valley. In spit' of his great strength, the president was a very weary man when, after 18 hours of almost constant entertainment he retired at 2 o'clock this morning. One of the features of the visit here was the banquet at the Fairmont hotel Governor Gillett. in an address, urged the maintenance on the Pacific coast of a fleet of at least 16 battleships. He said: "The battle for trade is in the Pa cine. v e have no island possessions across tne Atlantic, and the navy is drifting idly on the bosom of those wa ters. We need the navy in the Pacific for the protection of v our commerce, and for peace, -not for war.".. The president responded: "Now Governor Gillett wants 16 or 18 battleships on this side of the water ail the time. Well, If you will guarantee that the attacks are coming only on this side, we will give you the ships. But you forget that the Panama canal will be completed within four or five years and it will double the efficiency or tne navy ana will cut in two the dis tance by water from the eastern to the western coast." The president then turned his atten tion to the subsidy, and gave that proposition his emphatic endorsement, which brought enthusiastic applause. Although utterly impromptu the recen- tion tendered President Taft by the San Francisco Press club after the banquet at the Fairmont, proved one of the most agreeable features of his enter tammeiit nere. ine president was made an honorary member of the club and in his speech of acceptance won tne hearts of the newspaper men pres ent by kindly humorous thrusts at their expense. At the end of th affair the Taft chuckle was voted as great a succras as nis ramous xart smile. Leaving the city at t o'clock the pres ident crossed the bay to his car, the Mayflower which was attached to the regular Southern Pacific train to Merced. At the various small towns through which the train passed cheer ing crowas greeted the president. .President Taft will make a sneech from the court house steDs at Merced. and after a reception will leave at 1:30 ror xosemite valley.-. His Arrival in Frisco. ban Francisco. Cal.. Oct. fi. president Tart was welcomed to San "ranclsco bv-a, throne -whloh lined the walks in come places ten deep along a line of march extending over arly three miles of the Drincinal streets. The school children of this city, Oakland and Berkeley, cheered the president and were one of the prominent features of his reception. As he was crossing from the Oak land Mole to San Francisco the army transport Thomas was settinc sail for the Philippines and by the presi dent's request, the revenue cutter Golden Gate, on which he was a pas senger, was drawn up alongside the nig vessel whose sides were lined with soldiers and the families of of ficers. On the bridge of the transport the Philippine constabulary band was playing "Hail to the Chief." as the president shouted across the water to the khaki-clad soldiers: Good Dye. Doys, I wish you a pleasant voyage." Answering cheers came back to the president. The transport was soon under way and the president looked wistfully toward the Golden Gate. Does it make you feel homesick Mr. President?" asked a member of the party. "Indeed it does." replied Mr. Taft, and I would give anything if I were going with them. Philippine Trip Did It. The president never loses an opportunity while on the coast to speak a good word for the Philip pines. Referring to his own ex periences, at Manila, in one of his ad dresses he said: 'You never can tell what the fu ture is going to bring about. It seemed a long way around to the White House to go out 10.000 miles into the tropics, but that is where it landed me. Crossing the bay on the revenue cutter Golden Gate and eating luncheon during the trip, the presi dent upon his arrival in San Fran Cisco was taken for a three-mile car riage ride through Market, Mont gomery and Kearney streets and Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues. He reviewed on Van Ness avenue nearly all of the public and parochial school children of the city. Next the president laid the corner stone of the new Young Men's Christian association building in this city and expressed again the interest he always feels in Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Taft has what he calls his "Y. M. C. A. speech." He has laid cornerstones for this class of build ings in Shanghai. Hong Kong, all through the United States and in many other Darts of the world. Being a Mason. Mr. Taft always works hard when he has the task of laving a cornerstone, and the cere mony here was no exception to the rule. -With a silver trowel ha spread mortar for fully five minutes before the big block of granite was ready to be lowered into its place. Visits a Cousin at Berkeley. Later the president was the guest of honor at a reception at the Union League club. Last night he was given a banquet s.t the Fairmont hotel by more than 600 residents of San Fran cisco and was later entertained at the Press club, t The president retired at midnight at the St. Francis hotel and left at 8 o'clock this morning for the Ynsemite Vflllpv. During his stay In Berkeley tne presi dent stole a half hour away from the entertaining committee and visited his r-nnsin. Mrs. Charles T. Blake. One of the most Dathetic incidents or the president's trip marked his stay in Berkelev. He nassed in review the pu pils of an Institution for the deaf, dumb and blind. The tribute of flags waved with unseeing eyes, of silent nods of the dumb and cheers from the blind deeply impressed the president. He saw San j)Tancisco ior tne iirat time since the fire. Mr. Tatt mar veled at the growth of the city and, in his address at the Y. M. C. A., ex pressed the hope that the coming gen eration would prove as energetic, as r.ntimisrln and altogether as enthusias tic a people as those who have rehabili tated the city. In his speech at the banquet the president reiteratea nis views on the subject- of a merchant marine and aroused great enthusiasm by his declaration that he would urge the passage of a ship subsidy law as one of the principal suDjects m ma forthcoming message to congress, mr. Taft asserted that the country was ready for an experiment in tne way of a subsidy. The extension or tne Pacific trade is one of the objects or nis administration, Mr. Taft said, and ne added that he knew of no more im portant topic to which congress can de vote itself. In his speech at Berkeley the president said, in part: "The business or government is ii"t t T an easy one wnen you are in iu u has a somewhat different aspect when you are engaged in pulling the throttle or putting on 4he brakes than that which it has from the professor's chair or the editorial sanctum. There are obstacles and friction and dimcuities that it is not possible always to ex plain, but the existence of which one who is in the midst of it can affirm with erreat emphasis, and it is those obstacles and difficulties and friction that are not always appreciated by the critics who do not have the responsi bility.

If I were not 1 should not enjoy Deing in me uusmcoa of government, but in that progress we sometimes have to give way in our theories to the views of the general public shown in the votes at tne pons or in the votes in congress and, not mfrenuentlv. years after. We have to admit that, on the whole, the result which is reached by reconciling and compromising all the views of differing people is better than if we followed with the literal fidelity the theory of any one person. Popular government is jusim aim vindicated on the theory that every class and by that I mean those who in respect to a community 0.1 bhih larlv situated and affected by the same circumstances is better able in the long run to know what its interests are and look after those interests than 1 tvi momhers of anv other class, how ever altruistic that other class may be; and that being the foundation of popu lar government and it being impossible therefore for any one class to give out laws for all. the necessary result 01 our government is compromises. He is a good citizen wno recognizes uiu necessary result ana wno, wnen ma own opinion is not followed out as he would like to have it, becomes a good oser. He must play the game. He is n popular government and he has to take what popular government gives him until, by his influence witn tne people who control, he can lead them in the direction which he would, and if they do not go in that direction tnen he has to play ball with them and fol low them."

The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such ques tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are in vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testi monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

He thinks his fight with Jack Johnson ought to be for a guaranteed purse of not less than $150,000. Mr, Peary's friends announce that the climax of the North Pole contro versy will soon be reached when they make public his "proof" that Dr. Cook did not reach the "Big Nail." Few people will doubt, though, the ability of Dr. Cook to furnish the necesary anti-climax. If, as Gilford Pinchot says and he generally knows what 'he is talking about, a monopoly is now in the pro. cess of formation to obtain possession of the water power sites of the coun try, the first duty confronting the next congress is to pass legislation which will throttle it. Marriage benefits are to be paid by the Women's Trade Union league. Evidently among the women in organ ized labor there is a desire to get away from toil. But that's perfectly nat ural. "Women workers would be un duly strange if they did not have matrimonial inclinations.' Some of the enthusiasts are predict ing that 10.000 of the school teachers In the state will attend their annual convention to be held here on Novem ber 4 and 5. Here's hoping that their prognostications are correct. Topeka will be delighted to entertain that many and promises her best to give them a good time. It will be noticed that Kansas City, Mo., already favored by the railroads beyond any city in the central west had no trouble at all in securing half fare pasenger rates for the Priest of Pallas celebration occurring there this ewek. Similar concessions for the re cent fair at Topeka were denied by the railroads just as readily. No need to inquire further as to who Is the boss in the newest Corey family. "I have just been telling the report ers," said the head of the steel trust to his latest wife, who was Miss Gil man, the actress, as she arrived home from Europe the other day, "that your plans for entering the grand opera have been shut off for a while." Presumably It's Indian summer which is visiting hereabouts these days. Anyhow, it is everything that could be desired in the way of weath er, except, possibly, by the farmers who would like a little rain. But then the interests of the city folks and the farmers are ever clashing over the weather. Still, it would probably be better all around if the farmers had their desires fulfilled. William Allen White says the poli tics indulged in by Senator Curtis are of the "peanut" type. Ex-Governor Hoch characterizes some of Governor Stubbs' politics as being "measly." Honors, therefore, are still even in the great talkfest being indulged in by the "regulars" and the "square deal ers." If care is not taken somebody is going to get a near-vicious slap on the wrist before long. After a personal Investigation of its workings Mr. P. I. Bonebrake has formed -the opinion that the commis sion form of government is far super ior t.i the old method. That's what everybody says who looks. into the matter carefully. It appeals with especial strength to the business men who Btudy the proposition because it provides a business method for the conduct of a city's affairs. No one will deny that such a plan is needed by most cities. Every once In a while an aeroplanlst comes to the front with --a brilliant flight which attracts the attention of the world for a day or so and then he drops back Into the cover from which he emerged and nothing Is heard from him for weeks and months.

In three short months and a half he has been able to recoup his fortunes by that enormous sum of money. Surely he has not been able to make it In the pursuit of honest and legitimate trade. That would be im possible because he was bankrupt for sum considerably greater than, that which followed the financial crash in cident to his bank wreckine career. It is just as certain as day follows night that Morse has made this money through gambling In stocks. There could be no other way for him to do It, and he has needed the help of financial ly powerful friends to accomplish this. But that Is neither here nor there ex cept that it Is a most unusual piece of financial history. Mr. Morse believes that the higher courts will eventually free him from the charges on which a Jury found him guilty and a judge sentenced him to fourteen years of penal servitude. He Insists that his actions which wrecked banks were not of criminal intent and that at their worst they were nothing more than technical violations of the banking laws which he declares all national bankers indulge in continually In the course of their business. This may be true. But If it is, the time has come when such technical violations of banking laws should be halted. Laws are on the statute hooks to be enforced and no laws should be administered more fully than those which surround the business of bank ing. If Mr. Morse is technically guilty of violating some of the banking laws he should be punished for It and punished good and hard. His friends in the na tionai bank world who he says are doing the very things that he did should be hauled over the same coals, Perhaps If the banking laws were en forced as they should be and the financiers of the Morse type put out oT business, there would not be as much need as there is for bank guaranty laws and other measures to safeguard the money which the people entrust to th5 banks. Mr. Morse's plea of doing "nothing wrong" because other people have the habit of doing the same thing. Is a feeble one. are supplied. .-Almost everything that is sold on the markets and dished up THE ALFALFA CONVENTION. That National Alfalfa Millers' as sociation which has been holding a convention in Wichita the past week A HOLE THROUGH THE EARTH. "The inhabitants of the earth are still very far from, a full knowledge of the planet on which they dwell," writes Camille Flammarion in the Oc tober Strand Magazine. "They have explored its surface until they have almost exhausted the regions of sea or land which have yet to be discover ed. Astronomically they have deter mined its shape, size, and weight. But as to its interior constitution they are still profoundly ignorant. It Is only by chance, and Indirectly, that they have penetrated a little way lntp tts interior. The railway tunnels which pierce the mountains have done no more than traverse the Inequalities of the crust of the earth. The deep est shaft which penetrates the earth was constructed between isaa ana 1902 at Paruschowitz, near Rybnik, and is about a mile and a quarter In depth scarcely more than an insig nificant scratch upon the surface of our globe. "I have had the Idea In mind for some time past of sinking a shaft Into the earth for the express purpose of scientific exploration, descending as far below the surface as the utmost resources of modern science would permit. This Idea has Just been for cibly recalled to my attention. In con sequence of the recent earthquakes and the extremely contradictory opin ions of geologists upon the interior state of the globe. Is this globe liquid or solid? From the most ancient times scientific men have considered the problem under all Its bearings, with out having succeeded in lighting upon any satisfactory solution. "The first result would be to obtain an inexhaustible source of heat, which might be distributed and applied to industrial purposes. According to the most authentic estimates, the boiling point will be found at a depth of about two miles. "Without doubt we should also dis cover springs of hot water, like those which were found during the con struction of the Simplon Tunnel in 1903, with a temperature of forty- eight to fifty-three degrees centigrade. We should also come upon subterra nean rivers and cascades which might be employed as a motive power. "The second result would be the exploration of this unknown world it self. Who knows what curiosities of geology and palaeontology might be revealed by this investigation into these dark abysses of the earth? What mines of Iron, of copper, of precious metals such as gold, platinum, silver, iadium, and of elements hitherto unknown and unsuspected?"

He wasn't a bad man. he said, having done nothing worse than get drunK and almost beat a fellow man to death. Tou may have a differ ent idea as to how much wickedness such action indicates. Also, no doubt, as you haven't seen him, you will feel something of pity for the wretch from whom all men turn because he bears the taint of prison. But it is facts, not sentiment, the man faces. nor his wail nor yours is likely to cnange 11. xne world distrusts tne ex-convict, and whether that be right or wrong, there are precedents and incidents and human' nature to war rant it, and all that will change slow ly if at all. It Is about as true now as it ever was that' it is easier to get into trouble than to get out, and he whose evil ways lead him to prison. whether drunk or sober, Isn't to find clear sailing when the doors open. That much is a fact which is better and more advantageously considered before than -after. Atchison Globe. A KANSAS SONG. Why hasn't Kansas a sonar?

We Invite You Won't You Come 'I STAPLES LUKENS "Authoritative Millinery" 733 Kansas Avenue 733 Rev. Hiram Blake Harrison, Elected Vice President and Field Agent of Washburn. The work of the new vice president will be confined exclusively to financial matters. By persona visits to men who are in a position to give donations to the school and who are charitably inclined, large sums of money. It Is expected, will be raised for the school. The Rev. Mr. Harrison will spend the first two months of his time in Kansas. After that he will likely go east where there is a better field for labor. The new vice president was born on a Minnesota farm, July 19, 1865. His parents were poor and his ambitions for a ministerial education did not find opportunity until the early eighties. In 189 0 he graduated from Carleton col lege and took some post graduate work In Chicago university, doing some missionary work in connection with his college course. During the nineties he- held different pastorates and in 1899 he completed his seminary course. After this he was pastor for a time of the Cortland Street Congrega tional church. His other pastorates have been the First Congregational church Falrmount, Minn., Watertown. S. D.. and Hastings, Neb., since Feb ruary, 1905, coming from there to his new position as vice president of Washburn college. The deadly infantile paralysis which has baffled all medical, knowledge of this age and has finally found a tem porary field In Kansas for Its horrible ravages, has claimed seven more 'vic tims resulting in four deaths. Dr. Crumbine. of the state board of health, has just received word of three deaths In Phillips county sup posed to have been caused by infantile paralysis, another death of a case in Burlingame of Osage county, two new cases raging In Sharon Springs ofj s nerman county and another case in Junction City of Riley county. With all of these reports on hand the entire force of the state board of health physicians' are traveling over the state under the orders of Secre tary Crumbine and every attempt known to the medical world is being made to stamp out the dreaded disease. The cases in Riley. Sherman and Phil lips counties are entirely new and make a total of seven counties In the state touched by the .deathly hand of Infantile paralysis. Two Dead at Burlingame. Dr. Crumbine has Just returned from Burlingame where two cases were re ported yesterday. One of them died at once and the other victim died last night. In this little town there have been two cases and two deaths. The deaths from Phillips county came quick ly and state aid could not be summoned in time. The patients in Riley and Sherman counties are still living and every aid possible is being rushed to them. The result of the offer of Governor Stubbs to donate half of his contingent fund and the decision of the state board of health to use every cent of their emergency fund for the purpose of stamping out infantile paralysis, has given a great impetus to the work and Dr. Crumbine returned last night from the state university medical hospital at Rosedale where he took specimens extracted from the spinal column of the dead patient at B.irlingame. Will TJse Monkeys. Di. Crumbine procured two monkeys at Kansas City and they were shipped to the state hospital at Rosedale at ence. The medical force under the supervision of the state board will in noculate this extraction from the Vic tim of paralysis. Into the bodies of the monkeys and then the process of ac t'.on wlil be watched. The hospital has Innumerable "rabbits, geunia pigs and the like for such?" purposes but the monkey is the nearest approach to the human being aijd he infantile para lysis germs will :M tested on this ani mal. Dr. Crumbine was more than pleased with the action of Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward Palmer of Bitrllngame, in allow ing the doctor to hold a post mortem over the body of their little girl. This Is always a hard matter for parents to allow but when they were informed by Dr. Crumbine that the extractions from the spinal column of the little girl was for the help of humanity they submitted quickly to tne operation. The fatalities among the adults in infantile paralysis" are still a mystery among the physicians. Every- adult who has taken the disease has died within 24 hours but the disease does not seem to claim adults as a rule. All of the late cases have been among the Infants and have either resulted in death or the loss of parts of the body. The next hair oosen cases reportea over the state will be looked alter at once by Dr. Crumbine and If the par ent of the children are willing the in fants will be removed to the hospital at Rosedale and their cases studied as the cure is made.

One of the most important cases to railroad men all over the United States was argued before the supreme court of Kansas today that of Henry Brinkmeier against the Missouri Pa cific Railway company. This is an ap peal of the suit brought by Brinkmeier against the- Company for injuries he received in November, 1900, while at tempting to couple two freight cars in the Hutchinson yards. The case has been in the supreme court three different times and It promises to end in the United States supreme court. Today the real inter est in the case was displayed by the presence of C. V. Ferguson of the in terstate commerce commission, who argued the case in favor of the plain tiff, Henry Brinkmeier, and In the in terests of the government. The question of such great concern to the railroad men over the country and the railroads in general is wheth er an employe Is entitled to damages wnen he is injured Dy an appliance owned and operated by his employer and If a railroad is bound to insure the perfection and the condition of automatic couplers. Accident at Hutchinson. It seems that Henry Brinkmeier was attempting to couple two freight cars in the Hutchinson yards one night and the couplers were out of shape. He placed his foot on the draw bars to straighten it up and push it and hold it in the center of the car until the couplers came together. About the time the cars came together his foot slipped from the draw bar where he had been holding it and fell between the couplers where it was smashed and he received the injuries of which he complained and brought suit. -The plaintiff claims that the rail' road company should have kept the automatic couplers in good condition and they should have worked without the necessity of risking life or limb. The safety appliance act requires that a railroad company should equip its cars with automatic couplers and keep them in condition. He further claims that this coupler was not In condition and through this defect he received his injuries. The interstate commerce commission through Its attorney, C. V. Ferguson argued the case this morning from this standpoint. This commission has been interested in the -case from the beginning and today they presented some strong--;and- convincing arguments before the court.; Congress has order ed that the railroad place automatic couplers on their cars and the Inter state commerce commission is now watching the result of a failure to keep up the equipment. The Railroad Contention. The railroad company presented a number of excellent arguments. They claim that a railroad company Is not an Insurer of the safety of Its employes nor an Insurer of the perfection of its machinery. It holds that a railroad company is only supposed to exercise reasonable care and diligence, ana tnat the company had performed Its duty In this case. They also claim that Jirlnk- meier was not ordered to make this coupling, he was in full control of his own work, he was tne only person wno had a knowledge of the defects of the coupler, and that the railroad company had never been given notice or tne de fects of this car. The case has been -carried on since 1902. It was first tried then and the court sustained a demurrer to the evi dence Introduced in behalf of the plain tiff who brought the case to this court where the judgment of the lower court was reversed and the case remanded with directions to grant a new trial. The case was again tried in October, 1905, in the Sedgwick county district court and the plaintiff recovered Judgment. The railroad company brought the case to this court for review and the court below was again reversed. It has been ir. this supreme court three times and each time it has excited intense Inter est among the railroad men of the country. The Missouri Pacific will have a hard flarht on Its hands a double header against them will make a heavy argu ment against the railroad- company.- fc.L.MDl J Boys' Bessemer $5 Suits M 91 this week 'A Child's $3 Red Reefers 91 this week Men's and Women's $3.50, $4 Washburn Shoes CO 91 this week $3 Nobbiest Fall Hats 9 91 this week ...$1.21 Men's $1.50 Shirts this week yj.

Lux, who recently returned .from Colorado and other western: apple producing states. Mr. Lux has also been in New York as well as the New Eng land states in the interest of the in dustry and reports that the middle and eastern states have good crops but the quality Is usually reported poor. With regard to Kansas, he says, some sections, especially the north and northeastern parts of the state, have a fair crop but the quality is ex ceptionally poor and should not un der any circumstances be packed in crates or barrels as good apples, be ing fit only for bulk sales for Im mediate consumption, or for cider making purposes. Canadlaa growers nave had a good crop this year which has in the past been only of tair quality. However, the 75 cents a barrel duty for im port will serve to keep the amount of this variety of fruit shipped here to a minimum. Mr. Lux reports that he does not believe prices will be unusually high this year, and that they will be with in the reach of tne consumer until February 1, and then only will the price be Increased by the large amount of apples grown this year the keeping quality of which is not good enough so that they can be held in common or cold storage for Febru ary.

Valencia oranges. were never sold so low as during the past months, and at the present time California fruits,-. Tokay grapes es peclally, which quality is -exceptional' ly fine, are selling for nominal prices which have never been so low for this variety of fruit. This is account of the larsre crop. Concord grapes shipped here from Michigan have been very cheap our ine the past week but have now ad vanced three cents a basket. In about ten days the supply will be drawn from New York. and the Catawba variety will make their ap pearance later. Potatoes, onions, and cabbage are very chean. Northern potatoes are now being sold at 65 cents a bushel, and the duality is very good.

BIG CENTRAL BANK. To Be the Main Feature of Proposed Monetary Reform. Washington. Oct. 6. The coming con gresrmust meet a situation horn of the panic of 1907. when the issue of clearing house certificates by the gov ernment to supply sufficient currency to meet the demands of the business lnteresta of the country -was necessary. TfcfSmporary legislation enacted .dur ing that critical period must be either iuppianted or reenacted into Imman ent law, and foremost among the vari es projects that have been advanced as a proper solution of the govern ment's problem stands the proposed rational central bank. It is the common belief that It will form the basis of the curative lega tion to be recommend bj the mone tary commission and President Taft, in hisrecent Boston speech, signified his Jwn favorable disposition toward the Pr'UaCbank of the people and for the people," is the definition of this insti tulion made by George M. RynldQ8 PresiSenfof the American Bankers' as sociation, in his Chicago speech. He pointed out that the people wer e to be the stockholders, for any one would he privileged to buy the bank stock Just as he might a government .bond. A small interest on s uch an lve ment would bo guaranteed by the gov ernment; any earnings more than suf flclent to pay the guaranteed interest would be shared by the government and by the stockholders. Political control of the great bank would be made at feast ertremely difficult by the pointment of the officers Integrity of operation would be assured by a board or supervisors appointed by the presi dent, the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency, (sub lect to the approval of the senate) for lulrntte terms of at least eight years to bridge over political mutations. Purpose of the Bank. Thus would be met the objections founded upon the history of the old United States bank, that the central bank might be prostituted to political uses and be made a powerful engine of perpetuation in power of one Party. It is not Intended that the central bank should support the credit of the na tion. If the national government needs funds It must continue in the old way to borrow money from the world at large by the sale of bonds. The single purpose of this projected bank would be to safeguard the busi ness interests of the people in their private relations. If there were need for more money for business purposes the bank would supply it by notes, and if there were a plethora, these notes would be withdrawn rapidly. Govern mental assistance to the institution would be limited to the deposit with the- central bank of all government funds now in the national banks. The existing banks, it is hoped, would find their compensation for the loss of these funds in being relieved from carrying the whole weight of respon sibility for increases in the circulating medium, and in the fact that the cen tral Institution would not receive de posits from individuals. The question as to how the business man is to benefit by a central bank Is Bought to be answered by the state ment that the project includes a pro vision for the acceptance of good com mercial paper as a basis for the Issue of money. Much Opposition Looked For. Such paper would represent actual transaction between solvent concerns all short time credits and sure to be redeemed whenever the transaction was concluded. That this plan will meet with pro longed opposition when laid before congress can not be doubted, although the administration desires to have the matter regarded as nonpoliticaL At the last bankers convention at Chicago many of the bank officers re garded the measure as the opening wedge for the destruction of the most lucrative portion of their business and viewed with disfavor the plan whereby the government bank was to enter Into competition for the enormous discount operations which gave them very great Influence in the industries of the country. Possibly their objections, in a meas ure, may be weakened by a recourse to some other means of securing a basis fer the circulating notes of the central bank than commercial paper such as an enlarged reserve of gold and silver, or even gilt edged mort gages on real property. It may be that the existing political parties will be divided on this great question and that there will be a new alignment in congress when it is broached. Indeed, there is some reason to believe that the administration would prefer to wage the battle on this basis. COLLIDE IN A FOG.

The most seri ous accident since the street car com pany began filling the places of its striking employes with men of little ex perience occurred last night at Thir teenth and Harney streets, when a Benson car struck a Harney street car amidships, hurling it several feet and seriously injuring three passengers, George Marley, L. W. Brittain and Fred Halverson, all residents of Omaha. Marley is injured internally and may die. Both cars were badly smashed. John Miller was run down by a Dodge street car at Dodge and Twelfth streets and suffered concussion ot the brain. Conductor Emanuel Harris and Mo torman A. Thompson,, both imported strike breakers, were arrested and will be heid pending the result of Miller's injuries. The Omaha city council has passed over Mayor Dahlman's veto, a set of resolutions requesting the state rail way commission to make a physical valuation of the street car company's plant, demanding that the police de partment enforce the laws impartially against all violators and providing for a thorough investigation of the strike and its cause by a committee from the council. The mayor's veto was based on the implied criticism of the police department. THIRTY-TWO DEAD. As the Result of an Explosion in a Coal Mine. Ladysmithr B. C. Oct. 6. Thirty-two miners lost their lives in the Exten sion mine of the Wellington Colliery company near here as a result of an explosion of fire damp. Eighteen bodies have been recovered and 14 are still entombed. Thomas Hislop, one of the last miners and assistants who escaped gave a graphic account of the accident: "I was working with 16 men, in cluding five of the dead, on the first level, when we heard the explosion." said Hislop. "We stood for a second In the darkness as our lamps went out. We started through the counter level but could not get through. .The deadly black damp was choking. 1 us as 'we fought our way into level No. 3. There five of the men succumbed and we knew the gas had them. "We were getting weak as the gas became more dense. We could scarcely breathe and in our ears was the roar of a thousand drums. We gave up hope and sat down to wait for death. Then we heard a shout and Lee Shaw, the foreman, and Davidson who lost nis son in the mine came. We smashed through the sloping ana crawled to safety.

Cook, on May 23, and delivered to captain cermcr j" .Sep tember 1, at Upernavik, Greenland. The letter opens: "My Dear Captain: I have to write you the first letter after having been sealed behind ice barriers for two years. It was your supplies, so kindly left in charge of Mr. Whitney, which aided me greatly in getting to Upernavik. All my other property, had been taken by Peary tinder the guise of a relief sta tion for Dr. Cook. Murphy, the man in charge of the station, however, was in structed not to engage in any relief ef forts; not to allow Eskimos to cross In search until March of the year 1909. "My large store of supplies and my i n fn hartpv with na. MUUUU wca v tives to satisfy Peary's commercial greea. "Fortunately we were able to work out our problem 'without' relief efforts except as you offered.

Captain la Noncommittal. Montreal, Oct. 6. Captain Bernier has a letter which he received from Dr. Cook, dated Upernavik. May 23, in which the latter says Peary sold his supplies, but that, with the aid of the provisions brought by Bernier, he was able to "work to his problem." The letter says: "We have pushed into the barest center and have picked the polar prize, but the effort was dangerous beyond all conception."

(Continued from Page One.) the name of the fragments from this glacier, floe berg, which, seen, in Lincoln sea and resembling old floes, were supposed to be the product of the upbuilding of the ice of the north polar sea. Late in the afternoon the land sud denly settled as if by an earthquake. The pearly glitter which raised it darkened, and a purple fabric was drawn over the horizon, merging Im perceptibly with the lighter purple blue of the upper skies. We saw the land, however, repeatedly for several days whenever the atmosphere was in the right condition to elevate the ter restrial contour lines. Guarding the Nose From Freezing. Sverything was in our favor in this marcn. The wind .was not strong and struck at an angle," making it possible to guard the nose by pushing a mitten under the hood or by raising the fur clad hand. The snow was hard, and the Ice, in fairly large floes separated by pressure lines, offered little trou ble. At the end of a forced effort of fourteen hours the register Indicated twenty-nine miles. Too tired to begin the construction of a house at once, we threw our selves down on the sledges for a short breathing spell and fell asleep. Awak ened about an hour later by a strong wind, we hastened to seek shelter. The heavy floe upon which we rested had several large hummocks, and ov er to the lee of one of these was found suitable snow for a camp. Lines of snowy vapor were rushing over the pack, and the wind came with a rap Idly increasing force. But the dome was erected before we suffered severely from the blast, and under it we crept out of the com ing storms Into warm furs. It blew fiercely that night, but in the morning the storm eased to a Bteady draft, with a temperature of 59 degrees below. At noon we emerged. The snow grays had been swept from the frigid dome, inut to the north there remained a low black line over a pearly cloud which gave us much uneasiness. It was a narrow belt of water sky and Indicated open water or very thin ice at no great distance. "Temperature Rises to 46 Below." The upper surface of Grant Land ESKIMO DOO. It still blew that light, life sapping draft which sealed the eyes and bleached the nose. We had hoped that this would soften with the mid day sun, but instead it came with a sharper edge. Our course was slightly west of north; the wind was slightly north of west. It struck us at a pain ful angle and brought tears. The Eyelids Freeze Together. The moistened lashes quickly froze together in winking, and we were forced to halt frequently to unseal the eyes with the warmth of the uncover ed hand. In the meantime we found the nose tipped with a white skin, and it also required nursing. The entire face was surrounded with ice. This experience brought warm lan guage, but there was no redress. If we aimed to succeed the face must be bared to the cut of the elements. At about 6 o'clock, as the sun cross ed the west, we had reached a line of high pressure ridges. Beyond the ice was cut into smaller floes and thrown together into ugly irregularities. An active pack and troubled seas could not be far away, according to our sur mises. The water sky widened, but became less sharply defined. We managed to pick a way among hummocks and pressure lines which semed impossible from a distance, and In a few hours we saw from an un usual uplift of ice blocks a broad, dark line separating the packs a tremend ous cut several miles wide, which seemed at the time to bar all further progress. We had a folding canvas boat on the sleds but in a temperature of 48 degrees below zero no craft could be lowered into water without fatal results. All of the ice about was firmly cemented together, and over It a way was forged to the shore of the great lead. Camp Beside the Lead. Camp was made on a secure old field, and over its huge ice cliffs the crack seemed like a long river winding be tween palisades of blue crystal. A thin sheet of yellow ice had already spread over the mysterious deep, and a pro fusion of fantastic frost crystals were arranged In bunches resembling flow ers. Through this young ice dark vapors rose like steam through a screen of porous fabrics and fell In feathers of dust along the sparkling shores. Etuk- hlshook went east and I went west to examine the lead for a safe crossing. Cracking Ice Rumbles Like Earthquake. There were several narrow places, while here and there floes had been adrift in the lead and were now fixed by the young ice. Ahwelah remained to make our snow house comfortable. In exploring the shore line a partially bridged place was found about a mile from camp, but the young ice was too elastic for a safe track. The tempera ture, however, fell rapidly with the set ting sun, and the wind was Just strong enough to sweep orr the heated vapors. A better atmospheric condition could not be afforded to quickly thicken the young ice. The groaning Ice and the eagerness to reach the opposite shores kept us awake for a long time. With the ear resting on the frozen sea the vibrations and noises of the moving pack were not unlike those of an earthquake. Breakfast was served early, and soon after we were on the thin ice to test Its strength. Though the ice was hardly safe, it did not seem wise to wait long er, for the western skies were darken ing with a wind that might destroy the new ice and compel a halt for a long time. The State Journal will print the seventh installment tomorrow. In this installment, which will probably cover a full page, including the pic tures, Dr. Cook describes how his Es kimo companions rescued him from peril and save his life. 3 GOING INTO POLITICS. Street Railway Men Form an Organ ization at Denver. Denver, Oct. 6. Branches of the American Street and Interurban Rail way association.including accountants, engineers and claim agents, held ses sions during the morning, the parent body not meeting until this afternoon. The principal business before the lat ter body was, the appointment of a nominating committee and considera tion of reports from the committee on interstate commerce commission class ification and the committee on com pensation for carrying United States malls. Committee reports ana reports of nominating committees were schedul ed for the engineering and claim agents sections. Before the account ants section, the legislative commit tee and secretary-treasurer made re ports, and a paper on "Interurban Statistics" was read by S. C. Rogers of Toungstown, Ohio. Many of the delegates have joined the New Railway Business association. Intended to look after the political relationship of street railway com panies to national and state laws. It is probable that this association will have charge of the fight to be waged against the proposed corporation tax ot resiaent xart. Judging from the disfavor in which delegates hold the corporation tax, strong resolutions against it will be returned the latter part of the week by the resolutions committee of the main .body.

Such treatment, however, is in no sense curative it simply gives ease for the time being, by counter-irritation at the spot affected, as the attack is sure to return at some future time. In this article we want to talk with you about S. S. S., a medicine that CURES Rheumatism, a remedy that removes the cause, and in this way assures the sufferer of permanent freedom from this painful and health-destroying disease. Rheumatism is due to a diseased condition of the blood, brought about by an excess of uric acid in the circulation. This uratic impurity gets into the blood usually because of constipation, poor kidney action, indigestion, and other minor stomach disturbances. These physical irregularities may be so slight, and at such prolonged intervals as to give us sugnt concern; Put each one has a distinct influence on the eliminative members of the body, and prevents the proper removal of the impurities from the system. This refuse remains in the stomach and bowels, and souring, forms uric acid, which is quickly absorbed into the blood. Then the circulation becomes weak and sour, the corpuscles, which ordinarily furnish nutri ment to the body, are saturated with the uric acid, which they deposit into the muscles, nerves, bones and joints. This causes soreness and inflammation, and brings on the pains and aches of Rheumatism. No longer does the blood nourish every ligament of the body with healthful proper ties, but constantly the briny, in flammatory circulation distributes the uratic impurity throughout the system, and Rheumatism becomes chronic. The occasional pains shooting through the muscles, or shifting from joint to joint, become more frequent and severe, the muscles get sore, the flesh becomes feverish and inflamed; and constant contact with the acrid blood slowly dries up the natural fluids ol the joints, stiffening the knees, ankles, fingers, etc. There is but one way to cure Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of uric acid poison. S. S. S. goes into the circulation, and attacks the disease at its head, and by removing every particle of the cause, and thoroughly purifying the blood, cures Rheumatism perma nently. S. S. S. changes the blood from a sour, acid-steeped stream to a rich, healthy fluid, which quiets the excited nerves, eases the throbbing, painful muscles and joints, cools the blood tissues, and reduces all inflammation of the flesh. When the blood has been puri fied and enriched by S. S. S., it gradually nourishes back to a healthful state the different members that have been starved and weakened because of imperfect, diseased blood. S. S. S. is purely vegetable and contains no harmful minerals of any kind. We have a special book on Rheumatism, which we. will send, together with anv snecial medical advice desired, free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA;' GA. CURED HIS RHEUMATISM. Willie recovering from Illness of fever, I had a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism in the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several months. I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of liniment and medicines which seemed to re lieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time. I was not any nearer getting weU. One day while reading a paper I saw an advertisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I had taken three bottles I felt a great deal better, and I still continued to take it regu larly until I was entirely cured. I now feel better than I have for years. OHAS. E.

The train schedule for the Union Pacific Onaga-Marysville cutoff is said to be under official consideration al though the line mav not be completed until the first -of December and regu lar train service will probably not be established until some time after that.

It is believed that the westbound train's time will be the same but the other may arrive a few hours earlier, as the distance will be shortened 92 miles by the new cutoff between the coast and Kansas city, it is tnougni that the time of the other Union Pa cific trains will not be changed much when the new service is installed. However, it is very probable that ad ditional passenger service will event ually follow. Naturally the bed of the new roaa will have to settle before anv of the heavy through trains can be Tun over it. In the meantime, it is not improb able that plug service, connecting with the present Kansas City and coast trains may be established between here and Frankfort.

It is forty years since the old brick buildings looked down upon the then youthful Charles William Eliot at a similar inauguration. The ceremony was held out of doors, with the principal actors on a temporary stage built against the ivy covered walls of the university hall. The ctage extended the entire length of the building with a depth sufficient to seat nearly a tnousand people. In eluding a chorus of 200.

The ceremony of Induction having been completed. President Lowell de livered his inaugural address. He dwelt largely with the development of the college of the old type and in the course of the address said: "A discussion of the ideal college training would appear to lead to the conclusion that the best type of lib eral education in our complex modern world aims at producing men who know a little of everything and some thing well. Nor, if this be taken in a rational rather than an extreme sense, is it impossible to achieve with in the limits of college life. "That a student of ability can learn one subject well is shown by the ex perience of the honor schools or UK- ford and Cambridge, but for us this alone would not be enough because our preparatory schools do not give the same training as tne .ungnsn ana because the whole structure of the English society is very different from ours. For American students the wise nolicv would appear to be that of devoting a considerable portion of their time to some one subject, and taking in addition a number of gen eral courses in wholly unrelated fields."

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-: WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1S09. JEWETT DEFENSE CountT Politician Talks of Tax. Answers Stubbs' Attack on the Ways an! Means Committee. REGRETS STATEMENTS Mr. Jewett Thinks Stubbs Has Gon. To Far. Memorial Hall Excuse Is Uoak, He Says. As fast as Governor Stubbs pulls the Ai.n.m,. ormwa of Increased taxes fmm his administration, another swift ly flying shaft comes darting Into the wound. The latest message from the ranks in the form of a flesh tearer comes from E. B. Jewett. a member of the legis lature from Sedgwick county. Mr. Jew ett was a member of the ways and means committee of the house. Mr. Jewett is of the opinion that Governor Stubbs made a great mistake when he mentioned the Memorial hall deal and he has it doped that the gov ernor would give anything to remove that statement from the controversy. The complete statement given ou; by the member of the unlucky ways and tneans committee reads as follows. "I have no desire to mix in the Curtis Stubbs controversy except perhaps as a. sort of a corrective proposition as a lover of the truth. Mr. Stubbs has made the statement that the taxes of this year have been increased to the amount of $200,000 on account of the ap propriation of that amount for the L..tiU tv.o Memorial building to commemorate the services of the sol diers and sailors of the civil war. He cays that the ways anu mittee thought that it would not in crease the taxes but that it has. Now having been a member of the ways and means committee. I desire to retort by paying that the ways and means com mittee did know Just what it was about and that Governor Stubbs is mistaken when he says that the taxes in this state have been increased, oy imi propriaiion. He does not charge the committee with any vicious action but simply with ignorance respecting the effect of its actions. This is charitable and most of the members were used to It before the session was over. Where Money Game From. 1 wish that I could be equally char itable respecting this statement of the governor's. I think that he knows that the taxes in this state for the next two years have not been increased by that appropriation, but in the heat of de bate, being unjustly charged, as he is to some extent, on account of the in creased tax levy, he allowed the state ment to slip out and perhaps by this time has regretted it. The people of the state are aware of the fact that the state collected from the federal govern-i merit over half a million dollars, prac-j ticallv all of which had been been out standing against the federal govern ment for nearly forty years, and most of which account accrued out of inci dents connected with the civil war and later Indian depredations occurring Just at the close of the war. "Immediately when it was known that there was a probability that the government would allow this claim there grew up a strong sentiment in this state that a portion of it should be used to erect a memorial building to commemorate the heroic services of the men who preserved this government and that it could be done without mak ing a direct levy of taxes for that pur pose and that as a large portion of the fund had a direct and indirect connec tion with the civil war, it was fitting that the state should do so. Thi3 sentiment perhaps did not permeate certain of the administration forces very deeply, but it did nearly every body else. Couldn't Use State Cash. "Now the act making this appro priation refers to the source from which the money was to be derived and it specially states that this appro priation for the building of this Me morial building was not to be available until this collection was paid Into the Ftate treasury. This provision w-as made for the reason that at the time f the passage of the act the money tad not been paid by the general gov ernment and it was intended to pre vent the use of any other money in the hands of the state treasurers should this money collected from the general government for any unforeseen reason be not paid. It Is unfair, therefore, to say that this appropriation has in creased the taxes of this 'state, al though it would have been right for this state to have builded this Memorial building if it had increased the taxes to that amount. Whatever deficits there were coming over to this ad ministration from others and whatever expense accounts were created by this administration are independent items existing and created without reference to this appropriation and which would have existed and have been created without reference to it. As a matter of fact this administration has profited by this collection from the government to the extent of nearly or quite $300,000. "E. B. JEWETT." TRAINS MEET HEADON. Four Persons Killed and 30 Injured on the Illinois Central. Farmer City, 111.. Oct. 6. In a head on collision three miles south of here, between the state fair special from Springfield, and a southbound passenger train on the Illinois Central, four per sons were killed and 30 injured, several probably fatally. The wreck occurred on a curve, while the trains were running at a high rate of speed and the locomotive came to gether with terrific impact. The north bound train was heavily loaded with visitors returning home from the state fair at Springfield. A special train was made up at Clin ton with all the physicians available aboard, and left for the scene. Clara Watson of Kenny. III., was among the killed, and Engineer Clark, of the southbound train, lost a leg. The wreck occurred on a sharp curve while the trains were running at a high rate of speed and when the en gines came together four of the coaches of the special were smashed. Conductor Durcan. of the special, gives his version of the cause of the wreck. His own watch was b-elng re paired and he was using another watch, he says. The dial in this watch- was not in the same position as on his own. He looked at it and thought he had 14 minutes in which to run into Farmer City, whereas he had but one minute, in which to make the siding, three miles distant from the scene of the accident. Engineer Clark of the special in rounding the curve saw the headlight of the southbound passenger train and shut off steam and reversed his engine. Sixteen Hart in a Wreck. Blythcsville. Ark., Oct 6. Sixteen per rons were injured. five seriously, when a southbound passenger train on the Frisco collided with a freignt train near this place late last night. PEARY ACCEPTS. Will Submit His Proofs to National Geographic Society." Washington, Oct. 6. Commander Peary has formally notified the Na tional Geographic society of his ac ceptance of its offer to examine and pass upon the records of his Polar ex plorations. Notice to this effect came to Prof. Willis L- Moore, president of the society, in a telegram from Com mander Peary in New York, reading as follows: "Copy of society's resolution Just re ceived. I am not only willing, but de sire to submit my records and data to a commission of American scientists that is impartially selected." October 1 the board of managers or the National Geographic society sent to both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook a resolution, the last paragraph of which was as follows: "The National Geographic society urges Commander Peary and Dr. Cook speedllv to submit an tneir ODserva tions, notes and data to a competent scientific commission in the unitea States." So far the society has heard noth ing from Dr. Cook in answer to mis invitation save through the public prints. It is presumed, in view of the fact that the American Geographical society and the Museum of American History in New York also lnvitea Dotn of the Polar explorers to submit their records for the consideration or tne commission that Commander Peary has made to them a response similar to that received by the National Geo- KraDhle society. The regular meeting of the board or directors of the National ueograpnic society will be held here next Friday, when President Moore will present Commander -Peary's telegram, and some action will be taken looking to the appointment of a special commis sion. In case Dr. Cook fails to respond to the invitation. President Moore says the special commission will consider Commander Peary s data. WELCOMED BIRTH OF BOY Warships of Every Nation Fired Salute for New Prince. New York. Oct. 6. When the official but belated news that the German crown Drlncess, Cecille. had given birth to a son reached the German flagship Victoria Loui3e, the glad tidings were signalled to all the other warships in the Hudson river and immediately a cannonading such as was never heard there before broke forth. Each warshiD of every nation repre sented, fired a royal salute of 21 guns. While this unusual salute was being fired all of the vessels from the small M-xican cunboat Morales, off Sixtieth street, to the flagship off 170th street, dressed themselves in gay colors, in celebration of the event Never before in this country did the birth of a baby receive such a tre rr.endous demonstration. Admirals and other officers in gold braid and medals hurried from their respective vessels to the German flagship where they ex tended their congratulations, to the German commander and these were promptly cabled to Germany. All of the warships remaining in the river today were taking aboard coal in preparation for their departure. By the end of the week, very few if any will remain. Taft Is Given a Golden Goblet.

Temperance Hosts Gather in ConYJfltien at Toptka. Thirty-First Annual Gathering in This Cause. GOV. STUBRS' SPEECH Was feature of Night Srsslon at Baptist Church, Says $10,030 Contingent Fund Was to Fight Liquor. The thirty-first annual convention of the Kansas State Temperance union held the opening session at the First Baptist church last night. Among the long list of prominent speakers and politicians who spoke was Governor Stubbs. and the gover-1 nor interested his listeners bj- touch ing lightly upon his long fought over contingent fund. The whole secret of the ilO.OOO contingent fund was disclosed last night when the governor said that the reason he had asked for this amount instead of the customary $4,000, was because he had been asked for this amount to fight the joints in Kansas. In other words it was made to aid the cause of the State Temperance union. However, the governor stated that very little of it was used and his desire was to have it in case of necessity. In explaining his views on the temperance question and in the purity of the state in general Gover nor Stubbs said: "I propose that there shall be no drunkards on the pay rolls of this state. There shall be no cigarette fiends in any position connected with the state. I will have this state gov ernment stand for high ideals. I am glad that I have the power to use this office to throw into the work that you stand for. I believe that we are go- ins: to make this government of Kan sas 'of the people, by the people and for the people more than ever De fore." "I was invited here a year ago un der very different circumstances. At that time you were anxious to know what promises I would make about the enforcement of the law, and the prohibitory law in particular. The enforcement of the prohibi tory law has been accomplished more easily than I expected. At that time Crawford county had about 150 places that had been selling liquor openly and had never been closed. Leaven worth county had about eighty such places. Mr. Jackson had been doing good work, but it takes lots of time and lots of men to weed out this traf fic. John Marshall, a brave man, and one of the best men that ever stood in shoe leather, went to Crawford county to close those saloons. I told him that all of the pow-er in the gov ernorship was back of him. and if necessary, the national guard would be at his service. Marshall closed the saloons. It took two months, it took the sheriff and all the officers, it took an ax, too. The stockades which were built around the saloons were knock ed down, the furniture burned, and the jails filled. Some of them haven't been arrested yet for the reason that there isn't room for them in jail. I don't know of a single open saloon in Crawford county. Assistant Attorney General Shukers went to Leavenworth county and ac complished practically the same results there. There are four candidates for the position of Judge In Leavenworth and they all declare they want to en force the law. You have done a great work in this state. It is an economic work. You have cleaned out the jails. It Is a com mon thing in Kansas to have the Jail emptyi One of the greatest and grand est things In this commonwealth is the success Kansas Is having in doting the saloons." Tom McNeal. candidate for congress man from the First district, spoke on The Press and Prohibition." He was of the opinion that the press in Kan sas was not always in favor of prohibi tion. He stated that" the majority of the newspapers were in favor of it but the rest of them were either indifferent to the subject or unconsciously lent their Influence to the side of lawless ness.

IT'S DIFFERENT HERE. Beggars Are Not Successful, But Worthy Poor Cared For. Topeka has been branded as a Car rie Nation sort of a town where a beg gar has no show, and where the lat ter is Invariably directed to the Prov ident association when alms are asked. It all occurred this week when Mrs. Mary Wilson, aged 61, blind and de crepit, called at the association rooms and appealed for aid to Hutchinson, Kan., where she claimed she could enter a Catholic Institution. When she first addressed Guv T. Justis, general secretary, Mrs. Wilson stated that she had been upon the streets during the entire forenoon and had been unable to secure donations which aggregated more than thirty cents. She wanted transportation to Hutchinson, and she wanted it imme diately. According to her statement she had been in Leavenworth living with a son until he had died and her daughter-in-law had turned her out. Then she determined to go to Hutch inson, of which town she is a native. in saioons towns, she said, one can always go to the saloons and get money, but in this Carrie Nation sort of a town you can't do it" Then she espied a heavily laden ta ble of clothes over which was drawn a heavy cloth cover. Blind in one eye and nearly so. in the other the woman was unable to see clearly. Then her face assumed a frightened look. "Them dead bodies under the cov er?" she queried to the merriment of the management. She was told the status of the ta ble's contents, and a number of quer ies from the association followed. She became vexed, thought transportation ought to be granted her immediately, but an investigation had to be made. and was conducted so that today she was placed on a train and sent to friends in Hutchinson. Ostensibly the woman did not have her first experience in alms seeking yesterday, else she would hardly have made the statement regarding the dif ference in saloon towns and others. She also told a tale of how she was formerly well to do financially until fire had wiped out the property which she owned in Buffalo, N. Y. When told that an investigation must be made before she could be granted transportation the woman in sisted that she would go back to the streets and begin another round" of begging, but desisted when Informed that If she did so the police would be notified. MOTHER HAS HOPE. BeUeves That Her Entombed Son May Yet Be Rescued. Central Islip. L. I., Oct. 6. There is no hope, except in the mind of his mother, that John H. Cossens." en tombed in a well on his father's farm in the Happague Hills, four miles from here, is alive today. Although Piatt Gildersleeve, the well digger from Northport, who is at the head of a gang of men digging hopelessly into the dry, shifting sand, said that there, was not a chance that the young Hungarian truck farmer is still alive, the burled man's father in sists that they shall keep on digging, even If it exhalusts all his small sav ings of 1 9 years. The well shaft was 150 feet deep. .'t. Gildersleeve says it may be a week at least before they reach the spot where Cossons is entombed. NEW CURE FOR LIQUOR HABIT.

A bit of untold White House history links itself with the marble bust of Martin Van Buren. All that is known generally, now, is that some one, some years ago, did what many Whigs want ed to do in the thirties knock Martin Van Buren's head right off his shoul ders. It is said that President Roosevelt, likewise a New Yorker who had risen from the vice presidency to the White House, had the decapitated bust re moved from the attic, together with the classic features of the Kinderhook statesman, and turned over to a sculp tor. At any rate, some one stuck the head into place, and now the bust, with a mark around the neck like milady's necklace, is given a post of hofor just at the foot of the stairwav that leads from the eastern entrance to the White House to the main floor. SQUARE DEAL FOR BABIES Chicago Objects to Death as Com pared With Birth Rate. Chicago, Oct. "The babies of Chicago do not get a square deal, and it is time that some one took up the fight for them. Chicago gets a full count on coffins, but not on cradles," said W. L. Bodine, superin tendent of compulsory education, at a meeting of the Social Economics club yesterday. Mr. Bodine complained that physicians do not report more than 75 per cent of the births, because they do not receive the fees to which they are entitled by law. The law provides they shall receive fifty cents for each birth reported by them, but the county board makes no appro priation for such payment. f STOCK To' Insure Yourselves Best Results Consign To Clay, Robinson Co., Uva Stock Commission Merchants, Stack Yards, Kansas City, WE ALSO HAVE OUR own orrics at unibauu. u. l. luatrit, 80.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6, 1909. r r ft V r (JOCIETY Miss Maud Mary Kline of the Min erva club has arranged the music for the federation meeting at the Com mercial club tomorrow afternoon. Miss Helen. Hogeboom of the Wash- urn music school faculty, soprano, and Miss Leona Glenn, a Washburn student of piano will be the perform ers. Miss Hogeboom will sing the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria, and Dell A'qua's The Swallow, and Miss Glenn will give two Schumann numbers. Soaring and Night. Mrs. Fred Dumont Smith of Kin sley will come to Topeka for the Moreland-Cullen wedding, October 20 and will be one of the assisting friends. -She will be the guest of Mrs. David W. Mulvane. Judge and Mrs. J. C. Pollock and Miss Lucile Pollock of Kansas City will also be here for the wedding and Miss Pollock will be one of the bridal party. The Travelers' club will meet Sat urday afternoon with Mrs. John Newell, 1015 Arch street. m a a i "How do you feel?" some one asked a chap this morning, "I feel," he replied, "like old peoples' parents." A Topeka woman has grand kin who not only go to Europe but take along Tiiachines and chauffeurs, maids and valets, trained nurses and secretaries! You know what it is to be poor! Tour opinion as to its being scan' aious depends some upon whether or not you were invited to the party. In her eagerness to get something for nothing a Topeka girl signed ner tiame" in exchange for a jar of cold cream. Now every time she picks up a newspaper she sees a picture of lat lady with bangs and puffs with her iiame under it and a testimonial labeled "Prominent Society Lady Endorses Madame Boo-Hoo's Face Cream." In a few years of married life young Topeka housekeeper has moved fo many times that she has the thing '','jwn to a system. The latest removal ner nousenoid gods irom one nat o another was effected in just three up until she was completely "settled with the pictures hung and the bric-a-trac in place. TS AND MISCELLANEOUS ADS. WAN A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement. Some wo men keep their husbands constantly in hot water; others let them freeze through carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives. No husband will be tender and good, in this way, but will bo really de licious when properly treated. In se lecting your husband you should not be guided by silvery appearance, as in buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if you wanted salmon. Be sure tc select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to the market for him. as the best Is always brought to your door. It is far better to have none unless you will patiently learn how to cook him. See that the linen in which you wrap him is nlcelv washed and mended with the required number of buttons and strings sewed on. Tie him in the saucepan by a strong silk cord called "comfort." as the one called "duty" Is apt to be weak. He is apt t( Jump out' of the saucepan and be burn-t-d and crustv on the edges, since, like crabs and lobsters, you have to cook him alive. Make a clear steady lire out of love, neatness and cheerfulness, as near as seems to agree with him. If he frizzes and cutters, do not be mxious; some husband3 do this till they are quite done. Add a little sweetening in the form of kisses, but no vineear or pepper. A little sntce improves him, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instruments into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently. You cannot fall to know when he is done. If thus treated you will And him very palatable agreeing nicely with you and the children. He will keep as long as you want unless you become careless and, through inattention, let Urn become chilled. Peoples' Every Month.

New York. Oct. 6. Kastern sporting men are not at all certain that there ever will be a fight for the heavyweight championship between James J. Jef fries and Jack Johnson. Recent cable grams from Paris that Jeffries expect ed a purse of $150,000 to be offered, to fcttfcer with Johnson's repeated asser tions that he would claim a lion's share of any purse offered, have partially confirmed the belief or fear that the two big men will not agree on terms. A Iurse of $150,000 is considCTed out of the question. Jeffries styles himself as "un defeated champion of the world," and his friends declare that this is- suffi cient indication that he will insist on dictating the terms and will demand the champion's portion of any stake. Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian pro moter, left London last night for Paris to see Jeffries and further increase his bid for $55,000 for the fight. At the same time. Jeffries left Paris for Lon don and they passed each other on the way. It is now understood that Jef fries will sail for this country ntxt Sat urday and his representative here de clares that immediately upon his arriva! in New Tork he will be ready to sign final articles with Johnson and con sider proposals from promoters. GIRL WON COVETED PLACE Is Secretary to Mayor Marvalog: of Elizabeth, X. J. New York, Oct. 6. One young girl was pitted against twenty-five trained office hunters and the girl won. That is why Miss Mary Smith took care of the business of Elizabeth, N. J., while the mayor was acting as foreman of the new grand jury, two blocks from the city hall. Mayor Marvalog says she is the best secretary any mayor ever had. When Dr. Marvalog began to look about for a secretary there were twenty-five volunteers for the $1,600 job. The mayor looked them over, and shook his head. "I want a secretary," he said, "who does not have to drink bromides in the morning to clear his head and will not turn the outer office into a smoking parlor for the boys hanging around for favors. I want a secretary who will work and not play politics." TO PRESERVE REPLICAS. Half Moon and Clermont to Have Places in New York Parks. New York, Oct. 6. The reproduc tion of Henry Hudson's exploring ves sel Half Moon, which took a central part in the Hudson-Fulton celebra tion, will be permanently placed in a lake in Prospect park, Brooklyn, where it will continue on exhibition. The Clermont will probably be given to the Manhattan park department, and may be placed in a lake In Cen tral park. The two vessels will become mu seums containing relics of the first exploration of the Hudson river, and of the first application of steam to navigation. CONTINUOUS MUSIC. Is Arranged for Taft's Stay at San Antonio. San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 6. From the time of arrival of President Taft in this city, October 17, until his departure on the afternoon of the following day, it is planned there shall be continuous music. On the night 'of his arrival the Third field artillery band will give a concert in front of the hotel where the president will have apartments. The next morning when the president re views the troops at Fort Sam Houston, three military bands will be in line. When he goes to the chapel exercises, there will be music and when he attends a reception a military band will also be on hand. Bands will accompany him to the city with several selections before he deliv ers his address at the Alamo Plaza, and when he returns to his hotel a two hour program will be given. DUE TO BAD WATER. Doctors Think They Have Discovered Source of Pellagra. Washington, Oct. 6. Important dis closures as to the result of an investi gation of pellagra, the new disease which has become prevalent in many states of the south, and which has been discovered to exist to an alarming de gree at the general hospital for the insane at Peoria, and other public in stitutions in Illinois, are to be made in Washington within the next few days. Prominent army surgeons who have made a close study of the cases at Peoria practically have reached the conclusion that while corn and its prod ucts figure largely in causing the dread disease, there is nothing to indicate that spoiled corn or corn which has fermented enters into the trouble. It practically has been determined that patients afflicted with pellagra have first undergone the infliction in the in testines: that the disease springs from a dysenteric state which often is brought about by a poluted water sup Ply. KINLEY MAC SOLD. MADE FIFTH ATTEMPT. David Thomas Again Escapes Irom Asylum and Was Brought Back. Making his escape for the fourth time from the state asylum for the insane, David Thomas, a former merchant, was captured in North Auburndale last night about 11 o'clock by Police Chief Eaton and Detective Hutton.

Thomas escaped from the asylum hy prying loose one of the steel bars across his window and dropping to the ground below, a. sheer distance of fifteen feet.

Finding of Stray Porker May Indicato Hog Tnleves at worn. S. Tray Porker, a vagrant, residence unknown, remains at police headquar ters awaiting a clue which might lead to his identification as the property of someone. For Porker Is a hog. one oi the red-haired variety, fat, sleek, and glossy. From- whence he came and whither the vagrant is bound is a mys tery. He came into public disgrace yester day when discovered by Dr. Plummer. 914 North Quincy street, in his back yard. The Dhvsiclan immediately can ed the police authorities and Patrol Driver Frank W. Leach went to the scene, and later returned with his hog- ship, placing him in the yard at the rear of the municipal prison building. There the animal awaits a claimant, who is willing to pay pound fees, and the board bill which- Porker has had charged to the account of the owner. Just how the animal came to be in the physician's backyard Is a question. No hogs are allowed within the cor porate limits of Topeka under the or dinances, and it is certain that either Porker escaped from some farmer's wagon and was not captured, else hog thieves are at work again in the Union Pacific railroad yards. Sometime ago there was much com plaint of hog stealing which was car ried on through the thief or thieves breaking the cardoor seal and kicking three or four of the animals through the doorway, then locking the car and I driving the haul to some convenient spot for killing. The animals were nev er missed from the car until it reached its destination, ajBd. the number count ed. The police say that -it is possible, similar operations have been started again, and that S.. Tray Porker, is a victim of thieves who did not save his life from the packing house death for humanitarian motives, but only with the view of themselves perpetrating the killing. Anyway, the animal awaits a claim ant who can prove his right to the property. wascostlygar. Boy of 18 Was Fined for Violation of the New Law. How' would you like to pay $2.05 for one fivecent cigar? Do you think that you would be so satisfied with the operation that you would wish to repeat it? And do you further consider that your wallet is -of such proportions that you could smoke whenever you liked without exercising a rigid econ omy? Probably Irvin Preston, aged 18, a student at Strickler's Business col lege, but whose home Is Agrlcola, Kan., will not be seen on the street smoking soon again. It happened thus: Preston was walk ing down Eighth avenue when seen by Officer Summers. The latter ques tioned him about his age, and noticed that the lad was puffing complacently on a rank smelling cigar. The result was that Preston was taken to police headquarters, arraign ed immediately before Police Judge S. S. Urmy, and a fine of $2 assessed. Preston said that he did not smoke a pipe or cigarettes, and a cigar only occasionally. SCHOOL FOR AVIATORS. Orville Wright Will Be Dean of New Institution. New Tork. Oct. 6. Before leaving for Washington, Wilbur Wright de clared that besides making arrange ments for the extensive manufacture of aeroplanes in Ohio, he would estab lish a school for the instruction of aviators. He sees' a great future ahead for flying machines, both for pleasure and practical uses, dui n does not believe that any one should be permitted to operate one of them without careful training and this is one of the reasons why he has hesitated to build machines for enthusiastic novices. The Wright brothers have received many orders for flying machines, but only a few have been accepted, the inventors believing that the best plan is to supply machines only to those who know how to operate them. While Wilbur Wright was here he received offers from not less than fifty differ ent persons, all of them offering large sums if he would agree to make cer tain airship flights. Mr. Wright look ed upon a flying exhibition for money as a circus feat and he- refused to ac cept any of them.- These offers have come from nearly every western city. It is Certain, however, that the Wrights will greatly extend their Day ton factory and incorporate in it a school for training- operators. This will be done as soon as Orville Wright returns from Germany. ALL HOPE GONE, Not forgetting the misses We make a special feature of garment for misses and women of immature figures.

Take Off the Tat Where It Shows Most women suffer much humiliation because of great quantities of fat, so lo cated that, no matter how they dress, everybody sees that -they are abnormal. This Is the day of the slender figure, and fat women are simply not tolerated either in business or social affairs. Women may not know it, but men when they see a fat woman pass them on the street or in public places make all manner of sympa thetic remarks about her. They do not mean to be unkind or to seem unmanly, but it is natural for a man to dislike fat on a woman. Where fat shows the most there is where it must be removed, and as auicklv as rtossible. This season's dresses seem to be made for the fat wo man's misery and the slender woman's delight. They expose all the chae-ms of woman and her ugliness as well. Exer cise and diet will not remove fat. This has been proved. The famous Marmola prescription which has met with such phenomenal success and has so many of our society women as its sponsors, is now being sold in tablet form to meet the de mand of the public for this style or- treat ment. These little tablets go into your system just like food. They stop the stomach and digestive apparatus from producing fat and redace the Tat upon the body at the rate of from 12 to 15 ounces a day. They are harmless and can be carried in your purse and taken even after you have indulged in a hearty meal away from home. They are sold at all drug stores at 75 cents a case, or if you prefer you may write the Marmola Company. Detroit. Mich.

Time is the revealer of truth, as well as falsity, Time proves the truth and exposes the faults. And you can ride down any country road in this country, or any village, town, or city street and see for yourself what Time has done to bring out the facts about paint. Over there you see a muddy, bleary-looking house dull eyed, as it were low vitality, paint that is dying dead, may be. And there in a stoneVthrow away, one that fairly gleams with the reflection of living light, bright, clear, with that brilliant sheen and radiance of gloss that tells you the story of what's in it just as truly as if you were looking into a mirror to see your own self. Time has proven absolutely that Horse Shoe Brand House Paint, manufactured by the Mound City Paint and Color Company of St. Louis, is the truest paint manufactured in this country or any other country. It's the one paint that does what good paint ought to do, and so much more than you expect that any paint will do. This is because it is made of nothing but the highest quality white lead, zinc, and best aged linseed oil. One gallon goes twice over a surface as high as a six-footer and 50 feet long and stays there at least three years and sometimes ten. It pays to know what's good in paint. It pays to know where to get it. All we have to say is that we know absolutely that Horse Shoe Brand Paint is the straightcst, highest quality, honest priced paint for honest work that we can get hold of. Made by the same house for twenty-six years. Sold on its merits rn its character. Remember, too, the Mound City Paint or Color Company manu factures a complete line of the highest quality paint specialties a Horse Shoe Brand paint for every use Floor Paint, Barn and Roof Paint, To-Wauk-On Stain, Screen Paint, Wagon and Implement Paint, etc., Grecian Enamel for the Bathroom, Iron Beds and the like. And so we claim it pays to know that there's one paint store in this town where you can get good paint advice and there's some color cards you ought to have, too, if you're going to paint they're free to you here at the store come and get them.
