A disastrous wreck occurred at 12:30 this afternoon on the Santa Fe at a point near the Three Bridges, three-quarters of a mile east of North Topeka, when a construction train loaded with laborers backed into an oil train. It is known positively that fifteen persons were killed and ten others seriously injured. All the dead per sons are railroad laborers except Foreman Gray of the construction gang. Gray lives in Topeka. The oil train was running out of Topeka at a good rate of speed and when it reached the curve at the Three Bridges the engineer dis covered the construction train of fiat cars being backed down the track by the engine at the other end. The engineer of the oil train applied the air and brought his train to a standstill Just as the flat cars crashed into his engine with frightful force. All the laborers on the first car were buried under the wrecked engine. j The flat cars were telescoped by th. crash and the wrecked cars and engine were piled up in one terrible heap of death and destruction. It is known that ten Mexican labor ers are buried under the engine of the oil train. All these men are dead. A relief train bearing nurses and ten doctors was rushed at once to the scene of disaster and the injured were carried to the Santa Fe hospital as Quickly as possible. Mexicans on Flat Cars. The wreck occurred near the Kaw Valley school house about two miles north of the Three Bridges over Soldier creek, about 12:15 at noon today. The work train was backing down from north of Meriden with fifty Mexicans riding on the fiat cars. As the train was rounding the curve Just south of the Kaw Valley school house the northbound extra freight crashed into it. Engineer Ed Ash and Fireman Joe Corey who were in charge of the en gine on the freight train were the first to realize the impending collision and Jumped from the engine as soon as the air brakes could be set. The Mexicans were not aware of the danger until the enginemen and trainmen Jumped and then it was too late for most of them. But about half the number managed to escape and many of these escaped with injuries, which may prove fatal. The engine on the extra freight slid over the four flat cars comprising the work train and in this way fifteen Mexicans besides several section men who were in charge of the gang were pinned down and at a late hour this afternoon several were not extricated. A relief train which arrived shortly j after the wreck took the injured vic tims to the Santa Fe hospital. Eight I Mexicans who were Injured were still alive when the relief train arrived. Tripp Talked After Accident. Three of the four white men who were killed died instantly, only Jess Tripp', section foreman at Valley Falls, lived a short time. The colli sion was heard by several of the neighboring farmers who rushed to the scene of the wreck. Tripp was caught underneath some of the debris, but was still alive when extricated, and talked for a few minutes, al though In great physical agony. "Yes. I knew it was coming, but I couldn't get away. Was anybody else hurt?" he said to a group of sympa thizers, and with this sentence he ex pired. His face was badly bruised, his right side was mangled, one shoulder was torn from the socket and one leg broken. The wreck before the work of clear ing had commenced presented a pitia ble sight. The boiler and firebox of the eneine completely covered one of the flat cars. Wherever one could see in the debris, could be seen a dead body orj some limbs torn from the body. Charles Gray, the dead section fore- I man, who lived in North Topeka, was found in the aeDns nis neck being pinned down beneath a large iron bar. His feet and legs were dangling in the air. Tom Laird, the section foreman of Nortonville, was caught by the pilot of the engine and was held down be neath it, his lower trunk being entire ly torn to pieces. His skull was also crushed. Barnes was caught in the rear of the car on which most of the casualties s enacted, his body beine found un derneath the firebox. His body could I not be located for some time although It was known that he was among thei missing. jhe Mexicans were mutilated, many of them beyond recognition. In pass ing over the hindmost flatcars the en gine boiler and firebox completely mangled many of the bodies. Limbs were torn trom tne bodies and many were picked up and afterwards identi fied by the clothing. Saw the Wreck. Bob Turner, a colored farmer living north of the curve where the wreck took place, was an eye witness of the collision. "I was out in the barnyard doing some of the noonday chores," said Mr. Turner, "when I saw the two trains approaching. The work train wasn't going very fast, but the extra train was rounding the curve at a pretty good rate. There was an awful crash when the collision took place, and many of the dying moans could be heard." Jess Haley, another colored farmer living Just east of the site of the wreck, was another eye witness to the collision and his story tallies with that of Turner. Ed Ash, the engineer on the extra freight train which was running fast, I in an interview with a State Journal I reporter shortly after the wreck, said: "It was too late to save the train j when we saw the work train ap- j proachlng, but we did all that we could by trying to set the air brakes. When it was too late to save any thing Fireman Corey and myself Jumped and only in that way did we save ourselves. I am in no position to state who was at fault." W. H Hamilton, road foreman of engines on this division of tho Santa Fe was an early arrival at the scene of the wreck. "It is certainly a ad, sad sight," said Mr. Hamilton to a State Journal reporter. "Who is responsible for the wreck?" was asked. "I cannot say," said Mr. Hamilton, "there is certainly some error some place, but this will only be determined by an official investigation." At i o clock this afternoon the wreck ing crew discovered the body Of a brakeman on train 167 in the wreckage. It is believed that the dead brake is E. T. Boite of Argentine. He wore a Ma- sonic pin. It had been reported at first that some of the train crew were killed. Charles Gray, the dead section fore man, who was killed on the work nam, uveu at lenin ana raramour streets, and leaves a wife and six chil- dren. He failed to Jump in time to avoid death. His remains were re- moved from the wreck at 3 o'clock this afternoon and identified by J. B. Mc Call, his father-in-law. Saved Life By Jumping. Jim Laird, a brother to the dead section foreman was on the train, but escaped uninjured. In telling about his escape Mr. Laird said, "Had the chances of a collision been realized sooner, probably no one would have give your order to the carrier, or tel been hurt. But we were Just backing ephone the office direct, either 'phone aiUUUU II1C (JUl VC, LI1U W O LUU1U I1UL see very far around it because of the high corn. Not a person on the train knew of the approach of the other train. One or two of the Mexicans saw the engineer and fireman on the extra oil train jump and gave a shrill shriek, and then Jumped. They were excited and as I looked I saw. what was coming just in time to jump and save my life. My brother here didn't know a thing about the danger and was killed instantly." Almost as soon as the wreck had ta ken place. Chief Eaton. Dr. Keith and the Santa Fe officials were notified and within 15 minutes automobiles were on the ground, and the Santa Fe relief train consisting of an engine and one passenger coach with a corps of hos pital surgeons. The hospital authori ties took the injured Mexicans into the car and brought them into the hospital leaving the dead victims on the ground tch,r tho snpptstnn snH cmniata a u lent aid in rescuing the bodies from the wreck. John Moke, a section foreman of Val ley Falls, who was in the caboose of the work train, but Jumped, escaping i serious injury, says of the wreck: "The: first thing I can remember was the men jumping from the caboose.

The cars, which had been filled 'of the house, and are on sale at Stans with dirt and clay, received the field's or at the door with reserved bodies almost concealing them from view. In many instances only an arm or a foot could be seen while huge balls of the mud leaked blood. The engineer of the oil train staid with his engine, but the fireman jumped. When the death dealing monster had come to a stop the en gineer was seen to come climbing down out of his cab to see the havoc done. C. E. Green of Atchison was also in the caboose. Standing near the double doors of the side, he was for tunate in chancing to glance up the track behind to see the rapidly ap proaching train. He was one of the first to leap for life and so escaped without injury. Wrecker on Scene. The wrecker reached the scene of disaster at 3 o'clock. The big engine, which had remained upright on top of the eighth flat car it had hurdled, was still standing but leaning toward the left as it settled. It was feared the great weight would soon cause it to topple over and the crowd which had assembled around the scene was constantly pushed back by the police and others to prevent further loss of life. Dear Christmas Toys. Half -our toys have been made in Germany. That is why the tariff on these necessaries of childhood has gone up. In the last ten years we have imported $50,000,000 worth, un iformly of better quality than the oth er $50,000,000 worth in Santa Claus' pacK, oecause mey were largely nana made. In the next holiday season the Payne-Aldrich tariff will be held re sponsible for the covering of store counters with the, machine-made product of the United States, these to be sold at a higher price than the curious products of Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Japan, and Bel gium. It is too bad. for the German toys were beautiful. Even when cut out by machinery they had the benefit of patient hand labor for their finishing touches. The wild and Gothic imagin ation that decked the European cath edrals with their fantastic lacework and minor ornamentation has worked for senerations in the peasant fam ilies of the tcymakers to produce these creations for the little folk at Christmastide. Can American Ingen uity vie with these efforts of the im agination? We doubt It. We fear the American toj' manufacturers who dic tated the new tariff have forgotten the children for their selfish gains. New York Time- BASEBALL, ETC. The great series of games for the championship of the world between De troit and Pittsburg, winners of the American and National league pen nants, started this afternoon at Pitts burg the initial contest is given in de tail in this issue of the State Journal. Tomorrow's game, as well as those played next week, will also be given in the State Journal the evening of the same afternoon on which they are played. This is another Illustration of why the evening paper is so widely read. You get today's news today, while morning papers give you only yesterday's news. In this day and age few wish to wait until tomorrow for today's" news, yet there are many who take both morning and evening papers, but have little time to read the former. The State Journal is the only Topeka paper to print Dr. Cook's own thrilling story covering his discovery of the North Pole. This intensely interesting narrative started in the State Journal last Saturday and will run through several days next week. Those desiring back copies containing the early in stallments, should give their order to the carrier or telephone the office di rect. Aside from the great baseball games for the championship of the world given in detail by the State Journal the same afternoon as played. Dr. Cook's wonderful story now run ning In this paper, the big Associated Press news, all the local news, special feature stories and high class reading. t ra aro manv ntner reasons why VOU I shoula be reading the State Journal i tv,, reeularlv. if you who read this, are among the very few in Topeka not al- ready regular subscribers. j As a subscriber said the other day: "I thoughtlessly contracted for a pa- nt proQt Parpnin.

As I said to one of my neighbors who took a morning paper: We, too, took a morning paper for a clock, but we take the Journal for the news.' If you want today's news today. 107. DYCHE TONIGHT. Prof.' Dyche, who lectures tonight j at the Auditorium on "Cook and Peary and the North Pole," arrived this afternoon, and is the guest of Governor and Mrs. Stubbs at the executive residence. Governor Stubbs. who is a warm friend of Prof. Dyche. will introduce him this evening. Mrs. Stubbs and a party of friends will be on the stage, which has been neatly deco rated and arranged in the form of a parlor or drawing room, w "FV Roehr. the DODular oreanist. will Dreslde at the big organ, playing 'while tr audience assembles from 7:iJjtory' to 8 o'clock. Prof. Dyche's stereoptlcon manager.! j arrivea ai noon, pui me uig curiam anu its machinery into place to throw the colored pictures of the polar regions. A large audience is expected. Prof. seats without extra charge. Professor Dyche. spent four hours with Dr. Cook in Kansas City yes terday and was present in his room at the Baltimore hotel last night where he had luncheon with the ex plorer and his private secretary, Mr. Mitchell. The men who had been friends, and had together explored Greenland and .other far north points, talked confidentially of many other things than the pole, and the dis coverer of the-apex of the globe also found time to call sixteen-year-old Ruth Dyche at her home in Law rence, by long distance telephone. "Dr Cook as is his custom said nothing to the discredit of Perry or any one else," Professor Dyche said today, "and made reference to the letter which he had written to Cap tain Bernier and said that nothing but facts were stated. He said that when the letter was written he was very much annoyed and almost mad." PERISHED IN FLAMES. Fonr Persons Burned to Death In Apartment House Fire. Nashville. Tenn.. Oct. 8. Four persons were killed in a Are that destroyed a brick apartment house in Jefferson street here today. Several others were rescued after narrow escapes. Two negroes were arrested on suspic ion of knowing something of the origin of the e. The Dead. Mrs. Dora Fishman. Rosie Fishman, aged 14. Rachel Markeson, aged 16. Mrs. Rosie A. Fishman. aged BO. Moses Fishman, 27 years old. was ser iously injured. The fire broke out while the inmates were asleep. So great a headway had it gained when discovered and so in- tense was the excitement that no or ganized attempt at rescue was at tempted for some few minutes after the fire companies had arrived on the scene. Four persons were carried out from one apartment before it was discovered that none of the members of the Fish man family had been accounted for. Efforts to enter their apartment were lrustrated by the flames. Three mem bers of the family perished and with them died Miss Markeson, who lived in the same apartment. PITTSBURG WINS.

Pittsburg, Oct. 8. The crowd for a world's championship game began to gather early today at Forbes' field to witness the opening game of the series between Detroit, the three time cham piona of the American League and Pitts burg, the winner of the National League pennant. The Pirate Smiles. Those who were not lucky nor rich enough to get reserved seats besieged the gates Which were opened several hours before the game was scheduled to begin. A tremendous rush for seats followed and in a short time all but the re served sections and boxes were filled to overflowing. The holders of seat coupons strolled, in more leisurely but before the umpires called "Play ball," there was not an inch of standing room within the immense amphitheater. Many thousands were content to re main without the gates and gather what they could cf the news from the diamond battle of tbr-ubs. Schenlyhill, a pietft.Jrislng ground to the east and sou ithjihe field was also packed with hjmianlty. Managers Clarke" and Jennings each warmed up three pitchers. How, Pittsburg AV6n.

Late last night a rumor gained ground that there had been a wholesale forgery of tickets for the world's series games and there was much trouble for ticket brokers, who have been reaping a harvest. There is good ground for the belief, too, that the forgery has been com mitted so much so that the police were closeted at midnight with a great bundle of alleged forged tickets, com paring them with the known originals. Last night two well dressed men en tered a hotel where the Detroit team is stopping and offered great bundles of reserve seat tickets for sale, but so cheaply that the crowd got suspicious and mobbed them. IT ISN'T SO Always, When You Learn It From the Other People. We regret to say it, for it reflects on the "profession:" Certain state ments that may have been made re cently in another paper, or by its newspaper men, are each and everyone untrue: That the State Journal has a new city editor; that the State Journal has a new managing editor same old men now that have filled these places tor years, with ever and anon additional assistants demanded by the growth of the paper and the city. That the editor and proprietor of this paper is contemplating a trip to Europe, That the same" man is going to take a vacation; he doesn't need it, much less deserve it, at this season of the year, while there is so much doing and to be done in and for Topeka, That the State Journal has sold tha three lots immediately south of its present building which were recently bought solely and only to take care of the needs of the daily newspaper of that name, That the State Journal is anybody's organ when it is only a newspaper, That another dally paper printed in this city has 29 per cent larger local circulation than this one; no daily paper printed in Topeka has a larger local circulation than the State Jour nal, 29 per cent or any other per cent, That the State Journal has a single paid solicitor at work In Topeka on its circulation, or that anyone has been authorized to offer the State Journal free for two weeks to secure a month's regular subscription, all communica tions to the contrary from alleged citi zens. The carriers are naturally at work all the time. The State Journal does not desire citizens to subscribe for its paper for a month. Subscriptions are taken by the week, 10 cents, pay able at the end of the week. That only one paper in Topeka, and that a morning paper must have any consideration in circulation or advertising. There Is room and a place for 'both morning and evening and each fills its field well if we do say it. That there is only one Topeka daily, the morning paper, which has a general state circulation. This statement is advertised throughout the east to injure the State Journal and is advertised every day in To peka, and yet it is wholly and abso lutely false! The State Journal not only has a larger local circulation than any other daily in Topeka. but the largest part of its circulation is in Kansas outside of Topeka. It goes to every part of the 'state and in many western and northern localities its circulation exceeds that of any other daily printed in Topeka or elsewhere. Traveling men know this. That more Topeka people read a morning paper than read an evening paper, or read it as thoroughly or care fully for news and advertisements most of the people In Topeka have to go to work soon after breakfast and before they have time to wade through a morning paper. The majority of To peka people have the time, inclination end opportunity to read an enterprising evening paper in the evening or late afternoon, and they do it. No morning newspaper can even nope to have as large a local circulation as has an up-to-date evening paper with full Associ ated Press dispatches, a large corps of bright, able editors, reporters, printers, managers and distributors. People have learnea to taKe tne short cut for the news of the day. That short cut is by way of the paper printed in the late afternoon covering the important news of the world, which generally happens, or is reported, during the daylight hours. The only way a morning paper seems able to even try to equal in local circulation k live evening paper, is to! give itself aay with merchandise such as clocks, carpet sweepers, meat chop pers, fountain pens, silverware, scissors. mirrors, etc., or give such merchandise to a subscriber along with the paper. We will admit that the danltal in the best morning newspaper printed in' Topeka, and that is as far as we can go. FANS OUT IN FORCE. Gathered Around Journal Bulletins of Detroit-Pittsburg Game. Topeka fandom was out In full force this afternoon around the Sti'e Jour nal bulletin board getlT.g the returns of the first game in -he peries between j the Pittsburg Nationals and the De troit Americans for the basebal cham pionship of this county, and, t'ltrefore, of the world, for the season of 1909. Although this game was played in far away Pennsylvania It was possible to watcn its progress just as last as it was played by innings through the medium of the State Journal bulletins. Associated Press wires direct to the baseball park at Pittsburg and con nected with thotee running into the State Journal office, operated by skilled telegraphers, carried the news of the game as it proeressed right into the State Journal office. The news was posted on the bulletin windows as fast as it was received. The efforts of this paper to furnish the public seemed to be appreciated for the big crowds gathered to watch the returns of the first of the premier base ball contests of season. The sentiment of the crowd seemed to be partial to the Detroit team but the Pittsburg boys were not without their ardent admirers and well wishers. Not only did tne state journal provide this efficient bulletin service of the game, but it prints a complete story of it in this afternoon's edition of the paper, giving to its patrons as is usual the important and essential news of the day on the day it happens. The same service on the championship ball games will be continued daily as long as they last. IT STRIKES HOWE Infantile Paralysis Case Report ed Shawnee. Baby at Richland Not Expected to Live. FOUR NEW COUNTIES. Morris, Denglas, Greenwood and Reno Counties. Now Twelre Counties In Kansas in Grip cf Disease. The terrible ravaa-es of the infantum paralysis epidemic that has been raging through the state of Kansas, leaving dead, dvinsr and eri in its path, has reached Shawnea county at last. Dr. Crumbine of the state board of health received a tele gram this morning stating that a six-months-old child near Richland was down with the horribl disease ana would live but a short time. But Shawnee rnnntv i nr i new county to be attacked by infantile paralysis. Since last night four new counties Over thA Rtat htovA KAA ..I-:. ed tnd in one case a death resulted me uuKnown a2sease. A case and a death have Just been reported from Parkerville in Morris county of the central part of the state. Cases have also been reported from Clinton in Douglas county, Madison in Greenwood county and Hutchinson in Reno county. This makes twelve counties in all over the state of Kansas that have fallen in the grip of the in fantile paralysis. Dr. Crumbine was out of the city last night and this morning when the telegrams and the letters came to his office announcing the sad news and he has been communicated with. He will go to the towns where the new cases have been reported and taken them to the hospital at Rosedale at once. Experiments on Monkeys. The experiments which have been practiced on the monkeys at the uni versity hospital have proved nothing so far. The parts of the spinal col umn and cord have been inoculated into the monkeys but the effects are still unknown. The process through which these monkeys pass will be a very valuable aid to the state board of health in their campaign against the spreading of this disease which has claimed over sixty deaths and cripples in Kansas the last few weeks. The entire medical profession of Kansas has been startled over these fatal announcements as they come one by one and the office of Dr. Crum bine at the state board of health is besieged with letters of Inquiry from the town and country physicians of .Kansas asking for relief and a list of symptoms of the disease. The whole matter has proven a puzzle to the medical world and there is positively no relief known at this time. The entire force at the university hospital under the directions of Dr. Crumbine is at work on the disease. Meanwhile it spreads from one county to another sometimes Jumping for 200 miles and again traveling a very short distance to the next victim. The epidemic is getting more se rious every day and reports are com ing into the state board of health by wire and letter. It is a plague that Is startling the entire country and every outside help possible is being solicited. The mothers and fathers of small children in Kansas are aroused to a constant dread. TRIBUTE TO PULLIAM. Baseball Commission Takes Official Action Regarding Ills Memory. Pittsburg, Pa.. Oct. 8. The Na tional commission met here today but did not take the expected ac tion on the reopening of the Pfeffer case. President Charles W. Murphy, of the Chicago Nationals, has asked for the reopening of the case for which he was fined $500 for alleged tampering with Pitcher Pfeffer of the Toronto Eastern league club. It Is expected that decisive action will be taken tomorrow. From Inti mations made by members of the commission it is thought Murphy will be given 72 hours in which to pay the $500 or be read out of organized baseball. The commission decided how the umpires were to work through the world's championship series and especially cautioned the players of both teams conctrning rowdyism. The commission adopted a resolu tion in regard to Harry C. Pulllam, late president of the National league. They say: "Organized baseball never had a more zealous and devoted sponsor. In order, therefore, that his memory may forever remain green, it la directed by the National commission that a memorial card be printed, and that on the day scheduled for the first game of the world's series on each year, the same be distributed to all of the eligible players of the contesting clubs, the official umpires, scorers and business representatives, as well as to the owners of the con tending clubs and the press; and that on the same day In each year there will be placed on the grave of Harry C. Pulliam at Louisville, Ky., a floral wreath as a token of the es teem in which he was held by every one connected with organized base ball." HOPKINS IS CHOSEN. New President of the Topeka Com mercial Club. Scott Hopkins, president of the Prudential State bank has been chosen as the new president of the Commercial club to succeed W. W. Mills who resigned. Mr. Hopkins if one of the best known citizens of To peka, and has taken an active Interest in the club since its formation, hence the action taken In securing him as active head of the organization.

Coach Weotle is not overly en thusiastic about the chances of his team in the game tomorrow. "I would like to see the Oklahoma Kansas game tomorrow," said Coach rWeede this morning, "but I am just too scared to leave the team alone.

Norman Whitney who was tried out at fullback, will be sent back to his old place at center, and Weede will bo forced to seek elsewhere for a man to fill this position. Whitney is too good a center to be spoiled in making a poor fullback. The line looks pretty good In this game. Reazin will be a tower of strength at guard, while Benton is showing lots of speed and aggressive ness, and is getting the charge on his man.

President Hey dler of the National league has re jected the protest of the Brooklyn club as to the game played with Chi cago in Brooklyn on September 30. This game resulted in a Chicago vic tory by a score of 10 to 4, eight of Chicago's runs being scored in tho ninth inning. President Heydler finds merit in Brooklyn's contention that the umpire should have stopped the time game at the time previously agreed upon by the managers of the respective teams, but he does not feel justified in throwing out the cham- i pionship game and altering the stand ings or the clubs involved. The um pire's report showed that the Brook lyn club had adopted dilatory tactics when it was in -danger of being beaten. EVANS WAS DEFEATED.

Tomorrow will see the first real inter collegiate game of the season on the Washburn schedule the game with the Kansas State Normal team of Emporia. The Normal never has much of a team and the chief value to Washburn will be in estimating the strength of the team as compared with the Kansas University team. A week ago last Saturday the Jayhawkers trimmed the Normal by a score of 55 to 0. A week later the Normals were defeated 15 to 0 by Ottawa. From this it would seem that Washburn, in or der to be in the running must score about 40 points, or to say the least should roll up a score about as large as the one of last Saturday on Campbell.

Quig ley's ability as a football official is un questioned, and Washburn is assured a square deal, if the St. Marys mentor goes along. Another official will likely be Claude Rothgeb, the former Illinois star who is now coach of the Colorado Aggies at Fort Collins. Bennle Owen will bring his Sooners up to Lawrence tomorrow. The sooners can be expected to put up a great game against the Jayhawkers. Last season nansas made only 11 DOints and tnis was merely because Bennie Owen didn't have as many fresh warriors to insert at the critical moments as did .Kennedy. Some line-on the Aggies, and the Mis souri Tigers can be secured from tomor row s eame between the two teams at Columbia, Mo. The Tigers are an un known Quantity, but it is well known that tney are greatly nanaicappea mis season by not having Quarterback Deatherage in the lineup. Deatherage is out of it on account of parental objections.

This will be the last engage ment for the Cornhuskers before they meet Minnesota at Omaha a week from tomorrow. Nebraska made a miserable showing last Saturday, failing to win from the South Dakota Coyotes because of fum bling. The fullback position still continues to worry Coach Weede of Washburn. Whit ney was thought of for a time, but Whit ney plays the position too hard, and Is not in condition to handle himself at that place. Besides he is needed at center. Bishop has been given a good workout there, and if he can show something will likely be retained. After tomorrow Washburn will have but two games on the home grounds. October 30 the K. U, bunch is here, while on Turkey Day the Aggies will put in an appearance. In the meantime the team goes to Denver, St. Marys, Oklahoma City and Omaha. If any of the Kansas colleges are short on kickers, their attention is called to the members of the Wichita Western League team, who booted the ball with consist ency all during the season just closed. The High School team plays the Second Aggies at Manhattan tomorrow. This should be some game.. AFTER WHITE PLAGUE. Tubercular Hospital to Be Built at Hutchinson Reformatory. Hutchinson, Kan., Oct. 8.

PROHIBrriON'S GOOD RECORD. Winfield Marshal Says It Has Re duced Crime 75 Per Cent. Winfield, Kan., Oct 8. Marshal McLain received an inquiry from the headquarters of the Associated Press at Chicago regarding the relative amount of crime and disorder in the periods before and during the active enforcement of the prohibitory law. The question asked is, "Has there been an increase or decrease of crime and disorder and how much?" Marshal McLain has been on the force here almost constantly for near ly thirty years and can speak from knowledge. His reply will be that the crimes and disorders arising directly from liquor causes have decreased at least seventy-five per cent under ac tive enforcement- This is in regard to drunkenness and fighting, and incidental with this there is a lessening of graver crimes and misdemeanors. Except a footpad killed by his partner in a hold-up, there has been no murder committed here for nearly four years. Before that time homicides occurred one of more times every year.

The blood does not contain the necessary quantity of rich, red corpuscles, and is therefore a weak, watery stream which cannot afford sufficient nourishment to sustain, the system in ordinary health. A poorly nourished body cannot resist disease, and this explains why so many persons are attacked by a spell of sickness when the use of a good tonic would have prevented the trouble. In S. S. S. will be found both blood-cleansing and tonio qualities combined.

FIRST IN THIS FIELD. At Cost of 8100,000,000 Gives a Through Lin. Other Items of Interest in Railway Circles. Montreal, Oct. 8. The life ambition of Charles M. Hayes Is about to be re alized in a sea-to-sea railroad line through Canada. With the completion of the Grand Trunk, Pacific t ha for mer American manager, who rl- now president of the company, will have the first transcontinental railroad through Canada. As far back as 1896, when Mr. Hayes startled the railroad companies, he dreamed of an extension that would give the Grand Trunk a sea-to-sea route and place it in a world atmo sphere of traffic. The five years Mr. Hayes was with the line at that time, from 1896 to 1901, he was general manager and not in a I ositloa to put through plans. Then he left the road eight years ago to be come president of the Southern Pacific when E. H. Harriman secured control from Huntington. Hayes stayed with the Southern Pacific only six months, resigning suddenly and going back to the Grand Trunk as vice president and reneral manager. In his new position he determined to get the Grand Trunk through to the Pacific coast, and, working to that end with the Knglish and Canadian owners of the system, coupled with a sincere campaign with the Canadian parliament, he succeeded In having his plans adopted and financed. It was no small matter and Air. Hayes did not by any means put the croiect through single handed to com plete a system of 3.600 miles, secure 1100 000,000 private capital and have a government supply an equal amount, yet all obstacles were overcome and the line is now nearing completion. When finished, the Grand Trung Pa cific it is claimed, will afford the short- THE HARRIMAN OF CANADA, Charles M.

The manage ment of the road expects to be in a position with its mileage and low grades to beat the American line at least 36 hours in tne movement oi freight between the two oceans. One of the heaviest articles of shipment in this world business is silk from China to Europe. This traffic moves m solid train loads, takes a high rate, and if It were all secured by one line would be almost enough to sustain the road. Under the arrangement the Canadian government will build one-half of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the quasi private corporation the other half. This will combine a raiiroaa consirucicu ai the expense of the government with lines of a private corporation into one system, under the entire control, man- The Little Ones can stow away quite a pile of 1 HSfeao w Post Toasties but let 'em have all they want it is not, only a delightful, fla vouryfood, wholesome and nourishing, but makes them rosy and plump ready for study or frolic With cream or fruits it wins young and old.

The auth orized capital stock of the corporation is 145.000.000. The undertaking which surpasses in magnitude and importance any plan of railway construction hitherto conceiv ed, was projected to meet the pressing demand for transportation facilities in British North America caused by im migration and, as before stated, to fa cilitate world traffic. The eastern terminus of the railway will be at Moncton, N. B.. from which point the seaport of Halifax will be reached over the Intercolonial railway and the western terminus be at Prince Eupert, B. C, near the southern boun dary of Alaska. Though Montreal is now the headquarters of the Grand Trunk and the eastern terminus of its important trains, the new line will not go through that city, but will cross the St. Lawrence river on a new bridge to be constructed five miles above Quebec. Charles M. Hayes was born in Rock Island, 111., and is 55 years old. He started railroad work 36 years ago as a clerk in the passenger department of the old Atlantic Pacific road in St. Louis. Then he was with the auditor and general superintendent of the same line, secretary to the general manaeer of the Missouri Pacific, similar position with the Wabash, and in 1S87 was appointed general man ager of the same road. Three year later he was elected vice president of that system, and one year after he was mafie general manager of the Grand Trunk. Mr. Hayes is now second vice president of the Grand Trunk and president of the Grand Trunk Pacific. TOPEKA MAN HONORED. P. R. Frost of Santa Fe, Vice Presi dent of Car Lighters Association.

The western rail roads are considering a difficulty which has appeared in connection with home- seekers' fares. One section of the tariff circulars provides that tariffs naming fares for excursions may state such fares in such terms as "one first class fare for the round trip," "one first class fare and one-third for the round trip." etc., giving specific references to the tariff containing these first class fares. This can readily be complied with, but In connection 'with homeseekers' fares a difficulty is met. Another para graph states that when fares are stated in specific sums the routing may be shown by reference to other tariffs which contain the routing, by showing in the tariff by proper initials and numbers the tariffs that are referred to, desienatin? each by a letter and plac ing opposite the nam of each point of origin the proper reference letter. The impracticability of this, claim the 1 railroads, is apparent when it is con sidered that -the homeseekers'-tariffs i contain about twenty .columns of maxi mum fares and quote such fares from ern Passenger association will consider! the question at its meeting tomorrow. NO TRUMPETS THERE. Goulds Will Open Western Pacific Without Ceremony. Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 8. While the completion of theWestern Pacific from Salt Lake City to San Francisco is expected within a short time,. as fur as laying the rails on the grade is con cerned, there perhaps will be little or no demonstration made in celebration. E. T. Jeffrey, president of the road, .has not expressed any desire to have the driving of the last' spike of the new transcontinental line made the occasion of any unusual observances. His only expressed wish is that the road as rap idly as completed should be thrown open to traffic. The rails on the east ern end of the Western Pacific have been laid into Winnemucca, Kev., mak ing a continuous line for a distance of 395 miles west of Salt Lake now on the grade. The last stretch of road into Winne mucca, however, has yet to be ballast ed, and station facilities are yet to be put in order, but otherwise the road is now ready to receive traffic between Winnemucca and Salt Lake, FAST TRAIN TO NEW YORK. Will Cut Running Time From St. Louis Down to 24 Hours. New Tork, Oct. 8. The Pennsylvania Railroad company announces that a twenty-four hour train between New York and St. Louis will begin running on November 7. TheHrain will leave New York at 6:25 p. im. dally, and ar rive in St. Louis at 5:25 p. m. the next day. The eastbound train will leave St. Louis at 6 p. m. and arrive in New York at 7 p. m. next day. These trains, to be. known as "the twenty-four-hour St. Louis" west bound, and "the twenty-four-hour New Yorker" east bound, will be counter parts of the "Pennsylvania special," the eigh teen-hour train between New York and Chicago. Through cars to Cleveland and Cincinnati will be car ried. These trains will make all the even ing connections at the union station St. Louis, and reduce the time between New York, St. Louis and southwestern points by three and a half hours. The railroad officials say that the time from New York to the southwest will be the fastest ever made on a regular sched ule. PURE WATER FOR ROCK ISLAND.

Neurasthenia, also known as "ner vous exhaustion, "nervous debility," and "nervous prostration," is a dis ease, which in these modern, strenuous times is becoming more and more prevalent. It is a condition in which there is more or less marked and persistent loss of energy, together with considerable irri tability. Persons who suffer from this trouble are easily excited and irritated; cannot do as much work as formerly, and In attempting any mental effort, quickly become con fused, and are unable to concentrate the attention. They also complain of insomnia, nervous Indigestion. de pression of spirits, and palpitation of the heart. There is a general muscular weak ness; the person cannot walk very far. and tires quickly on attempting physical exertion. There is ringing in the ears, blurring of eyesight; headache and vertigo: specks float ing before the eyes, and a general restlessness. The ability to sus tain prolonged intellectual effort is Interfered with. and the patient ImsrlnM he is losing his memory. Neurasthenics continually watch for new symptoms, unconsciously exaggerate the old ones, attaching undue importance to them. Cause less fear is often suffered from: a dread of some impending danger; extreme pessimism; dark fore bodings, and hysteria. Sleep is not refreshing, and the person feels much more tired in the morning than at night. Horrible dreams and night mare are usually complained of. But by far the most prominent manifestation of Neurasthenia is Nervous Dyspepsia. In nearly every case this disturbance of the stomach dominates the complaint. Cause ana effect may be transposed, and dvSDensia may be the result of Neurasthenia, but oftener, indigestion is the original cause of the nervous condition. The nerves are simply "starved" because the stomach does not digest the food properly, and as the nerves are dependent upon the food which the blood absorbs rrom the stomach for their sustenance, any deprivation thereof is sure to cause nerve weakness. The use of "nerve tonics" in this condition is a mistake; they merely stimulate, but do not rebuild nerve tissue. Completely digested food Is the only true nerve, builder ana strengthener; and in the treatment of nervous exnaustion. one snouia first cure the nervous dyspepsia. which is usually the origin of the trouble, by taking STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS in doses of onn or two after eacn meal, or when ever needed, and the long train of nervous symptoms 'win te curea alonir with the nervous dyspepsia. This celebrated remedy is without a peer in the treatment or nervous indigestion and in fact, indigestion of any kind. They digest all the food with great thoroughness, and facilitate its absorption by the blood, which carries it to the weakened, diseased nerves, and builds them up, so that every i symptom of Nervous Exhaustion Is gotten rid of.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA A Topeka Woman Tells How the Tonic Treatment with Dr. WilKams' Pink Pills Cured Her. The processes of digestion are cos trolled by the blood and nerves. That is why the tonio treatment, by which the blood is built up, has cured bo many cases of stubborn stomach trouble. t Many people are suffering daily from stomach trouble because they cling to old-fashioned methods, eat predigested foods and in other ways aggravate the disorder they seek to cure. There can be no real cure in stomach trouble until the digestive organs are toned np to do the work that nature in tended of them. The only v. ay that this can be done is through the blood which plays such an important part in the processes of digestion. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not only a tonic for the stomach but build np the general health. This is well shown in the case of Mrs. Emma Copeland, of No. 227 North Lake street, Topeka, Eans. She says: "After treating with a doctor for several months and getting only tempo rary relief from nervous dyspepsia, I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I began using the pills I was greatly run down in health and was re duced in weight. There was always distress after eating. There was a pres sure like a weight on my stomach. At times there would be sour risings and also a great deal of gas from my stom ach. I had to be careful what I ate, for any greasy food would put me in perfect misery. I was so nervous that I could not get any sleep and often had to walk the floor at night. "I had taken Dr. Williams Pink Pills only a short time when I could see that they were helping me. I continued using them until cured and have had no trouble with my stomach or nerves since. I gained several pounds in weight. I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a splendid remedy and gladly recommend them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drrunrists. or will be sent bv mail. postpaid, cn receipt of price, 60 oents per box; six boxes, $2.60, by the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, JV. i Send for a copy of our diet book.

Railroads Give Notice of an Advance of .15 Cents. Washington, Oct. 8. A heavy and general advance In the freight rates on lemons has been made by trans continental railroads. Shippers of the American product are concerned seriously by the advance which, ac cording to the tariffs filed with the Interstate Commerce commission, will become effective on November 15, next. The- tariffs were filed with the com mission by the transcontinental freight bureau, which represents the transcontinental lines and increases the present rate 15 cents a hundred pounds. Under the present freight arrange ment, rates on lemons from Cal ifornia points to eastern points are 15 cents a hundred pounds less than the rates on oranges, grape fruit, limes and other citrus fruits. The present freight concession to lemons was made by the trans continental carriers because of a disposition on the part of the Pa cific coast fruit growers to relinquish the lemon market. They felt that, in competition with lemons from Kuropean and West Indian points, they could not compete successfully with the foreign growers at the freight rates then prevailing. While the tariffs now filed directly affect the rates on lemons from Pa oifie coast Doints to North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota, it Is the announced intention of the trans continental carriers to make a similar advance to all points east to which freight rates on lemons are quoted and filed with the commission.

Mr. Peary re ports that the fish in the vicinity of the North Pole are exceedingly small In size. "Whoever heard of a fish story like that before? Reports which are going the rounds that all kinds of fruit and vegetables will be at reasonable prices on the local markets for some time ar almost too good to be true. If President Taft were like a good many individuals he would dodge that proposed visit to San Antonio where it is planned to have"1 bands play continuously during the eighteen hours of his stay. An expected denial comes from J. K.- Codding, the new warden of the state's penitentiary. He says there is nothing to the report that the pris oners are getting 1ce cream sundaes, even occasionally. It would seem that the London suf fragettes will greatly weaken the strength, numerically speaking at any rate, if that considerable number of them now in jail insist on starvin, themselves to death, tr SPOILING THE BOVS. When a young man who has been al lowed for eighteen years to take always the line of least resistance, and to put the emphasis of his efforts on seeking excitement,, instead of doing his work, enters a college which takes its func tions seriously, one of two things hap pens, says Paul van Dyke, of Princeton, in Scribner's for October. If he is badly spoiled, he is dropped, if he has back bone enough left to escape that fate he wastes a considerable part of his col lege course before he gets hammered .into him, by humiliation, some realizing sense of what education la, and what a college is trying to do. That numbers of students come up to colleges with this attitude and habit is evident. Indeed, the arrival every year of many new students who have this attitude and habit is the chief obstacle to college education. It is rather rare to find a student in college whp wants to leave it. The honest pleasures of good comradeship, the glow of the mind and sense of in tellectual vigor which follow even such a slight ability to hold oneself to an In tellectual routine as is comparable to the will-power needed to take a cold morning bath, the sense of being in itiated into a class which is regarded as distinguished from the rest of the nation by special opportunities to de velop intelligence all these appeal ir resistibly to ingenuous youth. Few students of college, however, used to taking always the line of least resist ance, can help feeling that their col lege course is a privilege. But what any college student can help feeling, what numbers of them do help feeling for a part of their course, is that privi lege means duty. They start out to treat the curriculum as If It were a continuous vaudeville. They pass the necessary examinations Just as they secure a ticket because they cannot get in without it. They applaud any thing that is strong enough to compel a hearing, or amuses a mind willing to be Interested if it is not too much trdu ble; but they do not hold their atten- tion to what they hear with the purpose of getting all they can out of It. They want the kernel of every science with out the trouble of cracking the shell. And the students who have no grip on themselves are, unless all signs fail, chiefly from the homes able to give them a good start in life. The boys in most danger of being spoiled by being permitted to take an attitude toward their opportunities which makes the fiber of their minds slack-twisted, and destroys the tough elasticity of their wills, are the boys with the best chances.

The court holds lhat If liquor is shipped into the state to a man who proposes to sell it. It can be confiscated as, soon as it is unloaded from the trains. On the other hand liquor shipped to persons for their own use cannot be confiscated at the railroad stations or at their homes. Joint maneuvers of detachments of the regular army and states' militia are to be dispensed with in the fu ture because of their great cost and the further fact that the advantages of them do not compensate for the suffering entailed. This will be sad news to "Dickey" Davis and other noted war correspondents of the United States, who will thereby be deprived of opportunities to have their pictures taken with real major generals. It Is-a regrettable fact that Mr. W. W. Mills has felt compelled to with draw from tha presidency of the Commercial club because his health and strength are taxed to the limit by his large private business affairs. He has done wonders In the few months he has been at the head of. this organization, and it will be difficult to find a man to fit into bis shoes. Still, among Topeka's live wires there are a number of men who are capable of carrying on the good work started by Mr. Mills, if any one of them can be prevailed upon to take up the task, rhich Is no right one.' v IMMIGRATION. Through the' famous labor leader. John Mitchell, the American Federa tion of Labor has started an agitation to make more stringent the restric tions in the immigration laws of the United .States. It is suggested that the present head tax be increased from $4 to $10 that each immigrant unless he be a political refuge bring into the country with him not less 'than $25 in addition- to the cost of his transportation to his destination; and that immigrants between the ages of 14 and 20 years should be able to read a section of the con stitution of the United States either in the English or their own language. Any and all suggestions which come from Mr. Mitchell on matters of public moment are worthy of the fullest consideration. He has been tried and tested on the scales of pub lic endeavor and has not been found wanting. The principle of further restricting immigration is an essential one at this time when hordes of un desirable immigrants are knocking at the door of every seaport town. That many of them who get in should be kept out is not to be gainsaid. To devise the method for bringing this about is the question and it is not easy of solution. This is essentially a land or liberty ana ireeaom. its first settlers were immigrants. And the theory on which they founded the magnificent nation which now pre vails makes it mandatory that all worthy Immigrants of today and to morrow be admitted to participate in the many and varied opportunities with which this country abounds. There is room for all of them, too, for taken as a whole the United States with its near ninety millions of peo ple is not thickly populated as com pared with the countries of other nations. Immigration of a pauper class is to be deplored and the restrictions which Mr. Mitchell proposes would have a tendency to keep such immi grants out. But it is also true that many immigrants who could meet the financial obligations which Mr. Mitchell would impose would be less desirable as citizens than- others who would not be possessed of so much of this world's" goods. StiU the financial qualifications which Mr. Mitchell suggests are not particularly onerous. Perhaps their adoption would be a step toward the solution of one phase, the pauper, of the Immigration question. The matter is a most important one and a full and free discussion of it ought to result In an equitable determination. THE RAILROADERS. For a long time past about the only men in the railroad world who have attracted public attention have been James J. Hill and the late E. H. Har- riman- To the folks who do not go very far below the surface it must have seemed as if the destinies of each and every mile of railroad on the American continent were locked up in the hands of these gentlemen, with the most of them under the tender mercies of Mr. Harriman." That the latter will occupy a place among the most mar vellous railroaders of all time is an indisputable fact. Perhaps such a one has never appeared on the railroad hori zon and never will again. Mr. Hill is also of gigantic proportions in the field of transportation. But he and the late Harriman are not the only men by any manner of means who have done and are doing distinguishing work in tbe railroad world. Their methods are not as snectacularr but their results are timation of Immortality that came as hand wherever a Santa Fe train runs, l0r. -nni ,hadnw of dawn fadine and wherever a block of Santa Fe stock! before the rising sun, somehow dies is held.

We are sorry things do not run your way oftener. The young men say the poor girls are always more affectionate than the rich ones.

But when the Judiciary is used as the means by which their designs are accomplished, it discourages the advocates of a jion partlsan judiciary. Wichita Beacon. FROM OTHER PENS CURIOUS IGNORANCE. Investigation recently disclosed ths fact that in Kansas City, one of whose great industries has the hog as its basis, there are several hundred high school girls who have never seen a live hog. Now It is conceivable that one might go through life comfortably and con tentedly without having enjoyed a sight of this great American product and source of wealth, but of one who has missed this experience it may be in ferred that he has .missed other things entailing more of a loss. For it would seem that those high school girls lack the enterprise and curiosity tht.t belong to normal, healthy youth. They are not only not acquainted with their own city it Is not really to their discredit tha they have not penetrated the stock yards or slaughter houses but they have not visited the surrounding coun try, or, having done so, have been un observant. They represent a not un common type people who. are unac quainted with what is nearest them, yet may be well posted concerning matters more remote. People who live in small- places often envy city dwellers because they have so much to see, but as a matter of fact the majority of city residents follow a little daily round and see but little of the place tney live ln. xney go DacK and forth over one route from home jr shop, with little variation, and are Sel dom moved to investigate what lies be yond. Indianapolis Star. GOVERNMENT BULLETINS. Americans generally are coming more and more to appreciate the value of the occasional pamphlets, dealing with va rious important subjects, issued by the government at Washington. It is com ing more and more eenerally to be rec ognlzed as a fact that these pamphlets are prepared by experts in the subjects treated, and the public now seems pre- pared to avail itself of the advantages presented by the accessibility of this kind of authority. It was not always thus, and an in teresting illustration of the difference is afforded in Morris county, N. J. Years ago the government issued a book intended to prove to farmers everywhere that with few exceptions, hawks and fiwbj were valuable birds, doing far more good than harm, and that they ought to be protected rather than killed. Now comes the report that the farmers of Morris county are la menting their failure to heed the gov ernment's early warning. It appears that they waged relentless and ex terminating war. on all birds of prey that came within gunshot of their premises. The result is that field mice have become so numerous as to consti tute a serious menace to the crops. Manchester Union. LET'S PRETEND. Let's pretend a little while.

Fly-loo, a game popularized bvthe Chinese long before the advent of conrucms, and since then the pastime of the Filipinos, served to while away several hours of Sunday of three members of the United States senate, the head of a trans-continental rail road, his assistant, and- the chief of its legal department in the West, at tne neaaquarters of the government irrigation protect in Tieton canyon. near worth Yakima, Wash., today. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, who "butted in" with com borrowed from other players, after losing his own, swept the boards, and thus again added support to a superstition generally accepted by the sporting fra ternity. Senator Carter, of Montana, and Elliott started the game by placing lumps of sugar on the seat of a camp chair. Each deposited a dime under the cube and waited for the flies to pounce upon the sweets, the argu ment being that the first fly alight ing on a cube declares its owner the winner of the pot. Carter was trim ming Elliott to a frazzle, when Thomas Cooper, assistant to the rail way man, joined. Still Carter contin ued to win. Elliott offered to bet big red apples, but the Montana senator declined. Senators Paynter, of Kentucky and Chamberlain, of Oregon, then took hands, and the former cleaned up $1.30. Judge Reed, of Tacoma, also played his loose change, without as much as "a look-in," when Elliott came back. Borrowing 30 cents from Senator Paynter, he won from the start and ended by taking all the monev in sight. It is hinted that the secret of El Hott's success was due to soaking his cube in clover honey; also that he daubed his opponents' lumps with ammonia, but the charge is not verl fled.

It was called the Pioneer, and the builder further designated it by the letter "A," not dreaming that he would soon exhaust the letters of the alphabet. The Pioneer .was built in a Chicago and Alton shop and cost the almost fabulous sum of $18,000, That was reckless extravagance in a year when the best of railroad coaches could be built at a cost not exceeding $4,500.

At 87 He's a Proud Father. From the fact that his friends did not learn until yesterday that he had again became a father on Saturday, September 4, it may be inferred that J. H. Thiry, 87 years old, of Acad emy street. Long Island City, is not of a boastful disposition. But Mr. Thiry is proud and happy over the advent of his youngest child. Mr.. Thiry became wldel" known vears ago when he originated the school savings bank system. Eleven years ago. when 76 years old, he married Miss Margaret O'Connor, a comely young woman. About a year after the marriage a, young Thiry was born, and there was jubilation in the home. At intervals during the intervening ten years, four other chil dren have been born to the couple. The latest is John Henry, Jr., who does not yet know, how happy he has made his father. New York Times. For a Rainy Day..

From the New York Presd. A man is so busy using his friends he has no time to study them. There's something about red hair that affects a woman's temper even when it isn't natural. The more sweet you put into love at the start the more it has a chance to sour before the finish. What a man likes about celebrating something is he could, be Just as en thusiastic if it was something else. A woman will never tire of love even if It is counterfeit; a man can hardly keep from being bored with It, even If it is genuine. 1 right-hand man. A ta. striking girl passed rapidly oumiAm was interested at once, ana not a little surprised when he saw tne gin smile back at hi com panion, who pulled off his cap with uiucieuou Bausiaction., "Who's your friend, kid?" he ask ed, when they were well out of hear ing. "Why, that's Mariorv Kinsr. I told you about her she's the girl J met at me nouse party last summer. Made an awrui nit with the fellows there isn't sne a stunner, though?" "Marjory King," mused the other tnougntruiiy. "Isn't she a stunner?" and the "kid" gave his friend a thump on the arm to force an answer. "Oh. she's a stunner., all right.' if that s what you want to know. Say, sne isn t a xresnman, is she? The "kid" laughed. "Well, not ex actly. She's registered as a special ln fine arts. I shouldn't wonder if she was rather oldish, myself.' 'How old. say?" Queried Stanton whose Interest was thoroughly rous ea. The "kid's" voice was lowered 'x-wenty-tnree?" oe ventured cau tiously. His companion whistled. "Well I'm as old as that myself." His eyes had followed her to the other side of the campus. "Say, 'kid,' she is stunner. Shouldn't much mind co-ed ucation if they were all like that The next day the two boys were making their wav from one of the en gineering buildings to their dormi tory. "Say, 'kid,'" said Stanton, after several minutes' silence, "what's she taking?" The other smiled gleefully. "She? Oh, she's a special in fine arts, which means anything at all. doesn't it? Why?" 'Well, it's this way." explained Stanton, trying to hide an unexpected feeling of embarrassment. "I was thinking that we'd get better ac quainted and kind of gain time on the other fellows if we were to take some work with her." This plan met with his chum's en tire approval, so they turned their steps away from the dormitory toward the dean s office. Their first task was to see Mar jory King's schedule, and the second was to induce the dean to allow.them to make a change in their own course of study. The first was easy enough, for, as class officers, the boys were allowed to have access to the stu dents' records. "Just want-to look at a few of the fellows' time cards," said Stanton to the registrar, as he fumbled through the K s in a large card catalogue. He made a few notes from the desired card and returned" to his friend, who was seated at the table. He spoke in subdued tones: "Ad vanced Italian conversation, art of dressmaking, scientific cooking, study of the child mind, and elementary philology. The first we aren't quali fied for, the next two aren't open to men, child mind I won't take;, so ft's got to be the last." "What is philology,' anyway?" asked the "kid." "Blessed if I know. It's one of Prof. Brown's deadliest but it'a per fectly all right." "Well, let's take it, tnen. So it was that Stanton Thorpe and "Kid" Walker, engineers, took up the study of languages under the cele brated Dr. Brown, and a fact or much greater importances became, in a few months, the undisputed claimants to the friendship of Mar jory King. As time went on and Marjory was seen more and more with -Stanton and the "Kid," and less with tne otn er bovs. people began to talk. She apparently found their companionship agreeable, but no one, not even the two lucky seniors themselves, could decide which one she preferred. The rivalrv intense though it was only cemented their friendship, and they never dreamed of concealing from each other their growing fondness for the girl. "There s no use jomng udoui u, kid,' said Stanton toward the end of tha college year. "I mean business. What's the use of a boy like you get ting silly over a girl like Marjory King?" Perhaps tnere isn t any, nm m nthor frnnlrlv. "but I'm going IO SUCK it out. It seems sometimes as if she treated me with a little more more interest than she doea you." atonton laughed. "That's where you're dead wrong, old man. By the way, that pniioiogy emm. a b'"8 v. nitv etiff for the poor girl. It s a shame she ever took a course with o fnciii nun Brown. But I imagine I can help her out with my notes. You know I haven't missed a lecture., and I've full reports on all the outside readings. I have offered to let her have my note book for a week before tho exam., and I told her I'd coach her up all I could." That's a good move, all right,' said the "Kid," looking with admira tion at his friend. "I wonder why I never think of those things." Oh, well, she Isn t going to -marry me Just on account of that-" "Isnt going to what?" 'Well, I never put It that way be friendship for each other than thej had ever known before. A large crowd of students had al ready gathered around the bulletin board when the "Kid" sauntered up with pretended indifference to see the result of the philology examina tion. He craned bis neck over the crowd That name at the head of the list was enough. "M. King 99 per cent." He felt a sudden sense of de feat. Stanton had coached her. and she had come out at the head of the his way aimlessly away from the others. Suddenly he came upon his chum walking slowly toward him. "I ought to have known you'd win her," said Stanton. The "Kid's happiness was tinged with deep pity for his friend. "Have you asked her?" "Yes. She told me that she was never so surprised in her lifn. Said she was just about to accept some one else. You're a lucky boy, Kid' Walker." "How did she know that I was go ing to propose?" stammered the "Kid." "But I'd better not keep her waiting any longer." He was detained by the voice of a classmate: "Hello. 'Kid,' heard the news?" "No. What news?" "Philology Brown's going to be married." "Is he? It's about time." The ."Kid" was not in the least interested. "Here they come!" called one of the boys a few feet away. "Here's a rousing cheer, boys. Are you ready?" "B-R-O-W-N. Rip! Rah! Ree! King! King! King!" came the shout of twenty voices. "Kid" Walker was completely dazed. He looked up to see Professor Brown walking rapidly by with Mar jory King smiling at his side. His eyes met Stanton's. "Isn't she a stunner?" asked an en thusiastic onlooker. Stanton smiled grimly at the "Kid.' "Oh, she's a stunner all right, if that's what you want to know." (Copyrighted, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.)

Lots of fellows make love beautifully who can't make a living. Eating chestnuts proves that the worm will also turn If bit upon. It is quite natural that the balloonist should feel inflated over his success. The fellow who throws his money to the birds is a good bit of a jay himself. Even the self-made man finds that his wife wants to make some altera tions. It Is necessary to strike a man be low the belt if you would reach his pocket.

Belle "Well, not enough to catch cold from getting her feet wet." Blobbs "Gotrox says his wife makes his money go a long way. Slobb3 "Yes, I understand she is planning a trip around the world." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. A man ls lucky not to have any worse luck than he has. People seldom talk too much unless they know too little. Vanity enables a man to convince himself that he isn't vain. Many a girl who is fond of Jewelry has no use for a rolling-pin. A man whose wife ls blind says her sense of touch keeps him broke. Occasionally a man discovers that he has a friend who really ls his friend. When a woman sets a good example she never knows what it will hatch out. Good sense is better than good looks. but few people are afflicted with either. Some men like to attend a prohibition convention because it increases their thirst. Before accepting a favor from any one the cynic finds out what he expects in return. The average man ls willing to risk choking If permitted to bite off more than he can chew. If a man steals a kiss from a vounsr widow she will scold him just aa if she really meant it. You are wrong.

At present I do not know what will be done about calling the meeting of the club." S. R. Kutz. C. E.

Who When a man or woman finds sickness coming on, such as indigestion, weak eyes, kidney trouble, etc, it is time some attention is given to the subject of food and drink. In practically all such cases where coffee or tea is the drink, one can ob tain relief by quitting the coffee or tea and taking Postum. He leaves off a drink that is an active prodncer of disease and takes in its place a powerful liquid food that contains ele ments for rebuilding the nerve centres which have heretofore been torn down. "There's a Reason" Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 8 "I'll teach you not to stand in front of an other woman and prevent her from catching her train take that, and that, and that," angrily exclaimed Miss Florence DuBols of Topeka as she rained blow after blow with her parasol on the head of a traveling man on the platform at the Union depot Thursday afternoon. The man protested mat ne naa not interfered with her and backed away. The crowd, which quickly gathered. gave him protection until he couia get out of reach of the parasol. Miss Dubois Is 18 years oia ana pretty. She is also athletic, hhe is a stenographer. sne nas aeep oiue eyes, a handsome shock of light brown hair and a clear complexion. She was dressed in white and wore a large tan straw hat. The victim of the blows travels out of St, Louis and was on his way to Joplin. The blows crushed his hat and slightly bruised his face. Miss DuBols spent the summer in Minneapolis and recently visited sev eral weeks in St. Joseph, Mo. She started for home, expecting to cateh the Topeka express on the Santa Fe. Her train was due at 4 o'clock, while the Santa Fe departs at 4; 30, The Burlington was half an hour late, and with her grip in one hand and the parasol in the other, Miss DuBols made a run for her train, To reach the Santa Fe tracks she had to croBS a track on which the man was stand ing. To some of the red caps at the depot who witnessed the scene he ap parently tried to get out of Miss Du- Bois's way. Instead he turned the way she did and then back again, both dodging three times and finally colliding. Miss DuBols dropped her suit case in the collision, but picking it up, ran after her train, which by this time had started. It was running fast and when she found that she had been left. Miss DuBois came back to where the man was standing. She raised the umbrella and before he could dodge, she delivered several blows on his head and face. Some of the spectators yelled encouragement. Half an hour later, Miss DuBois laughingly told of her encounter. "I suppose those men out there think I am something just awful for using my parasol on him, but I don't care what they think. I wanted to catch that train, and all he can Bay that he did not try to block me will never make me believe that he didn't." Miss DuBois had her ticket changed I to tne union .facinc ana left at 5 o'clock. CENSUS JOBS GO BEGGING. Applicants Are Few for Civil Service Examination. Although trouble Is being experienced in the western states in finding men for census work, at salaries from jtflJO to uu per year, several applicants called at the office of LeRoy T. Powell, local secretary of the civil service commis sion, and inquired with regard to the work. Most of them were young men not regularly employed, as the man who is working steadily at good wages will not quit his position for one which only lasts one year. "This is the first time that govern ment jobs of this character have one begging," said Mr. Powell, "and thi work is a kind that appeals to many men, usually, but in this section there are comparatively few Inquiries." There is a likelihood that if this trouble continues there will be many cases in which the western states wiil not receive their full quota of ap pointees. POLICE COURT NOTES. R.

Claimed Patients Snffer Because of Ecenomy Bales. NOW INVESTIGATING. Humane Society Will Make a Report. Supt. Biddle Denies Any human Practices. Ill- Investigation was today instituted by the Humane society into alleged Inhuman treatment accorded patients at the state asylum for the insane, and startling developments are ex pected as a result. Charges that patients there who are physically fit for wor, and are engaged in menial labor, are supplied with the same in sufficient fare as others confined within the asylum walls were made this morning by Ira E. Miller, 1415 West street, who until two months ago was an engineer at the institu tion. Dr. Thomas C. Biddle, superin tendent of the institution, said today with regard to the case of David Thomas, out of which the investiga tion has grown, that he is "not of a disposition to object to anybody tak ing i nomas provided tnat they will contract to take suitable care of him, provided of course that his friends will agree to that. Of course we should have to abide with their wishes." Dr. Biddle Denies. "I enter an absolute denial that there have been practices of in humanity here," Dr. Biddle said, "and as for statements relative to the fare served patients, I invite an inspection of the commissary. "The last kick that we had was from Thomas who complained last Sunday about his pie. We serve pie here on Sunday. Thomas was dis satisfied because he had the pumpkin variety three weeks in succession. Kicking is his forte." Asked relative to Thomas' mental condition, the institution head said: "His mind is in a state of paranoia. He is about forty years old, and con stantly talks about men, women and children, being brutally treated, not only here but In other institutions as well. He harps from morning until night on the subject and constantly endeavors to get away. He is peculiar in many ways and often puts a part of his food outside the window for the 'birdies.' Thomas Complains to Eaton. The authorities are interested in Thomas since his escape from the asylum some days ago. At that time in conversation with Police Chief R. W. Eaton he talked as sane as an ordinary man might in the same position. He showed signs of brood ing over confinement, but he lacks many of the characteristics which distinguish the average insane per s r Fac Simile of Dr. Cook's Message ffi3 Kansas Ave..Topeka.Kan.J son. Thomas bitterly arraigned the officers and attendants at the institution and characterized their treatment as brutal in many instances. He charged ill treat ment and half feed was experienced by ui i nose connnea wiimn me asylum weiis. "The meat we sret there Isn't fit for dog to eat sometimes," Thomas told the ponce department bead. "Of course want to get away. Any man would want to ao so it ne could, you wouldn t stay there either if there was the least prospect tor escape. That conditions as portrayed by Thomas were in part, at least, true, was the statement of Ira Miller this morning, who said tnat during tne time ne was con nected with the institution he gleaned that the asylum was being run as near as possible as cheap as could be done. regardless of whether or not a patient was cured or his ailment. "If a man dies," Miller said, "then there is that much less expense, and for that matter I don t think the officials care, Says TTare Is Scant. 'Dr. Biddle is sarcastic, and lord of all he surveys, he continued, "and no one in the asylum has any respect for him It is true that often the meat served patients Is unfit for them to eat, and not only is this served the patients, but the employes as well. The fare is scant, and the patient who is able to do menial labor, receives tne same as does the ones who are confined to the wards and do nothing. The former are weak and almost exhausted at times because of insufficient food. 'Beef is served twice a day, beans, and sometimes rice. Of course we had bread and butter. While I cannot say just the extent ot tne tare served on the supenn tendent's table, it was betetr than that which the patients and employes received. Also Charges Brutality. "There was much unnecessary cruelty practiced. I hare known of attendants striking patients in the stomach and near ly bending them double. In some cases where the patients were unusually hard to handle this was necessary, but in many cases it was not- Yes, there have been brutal practices at the institution, which were entirely uncalled for, and which were absolutely unnecessary. With regard to Thomas' case there is very little known, furtker than that his family now reside in Utica, 111., and that he has relatives and friends at Emporia. His family consists of a wife and two children. He was formerly a merchant but through business failure was forced to the road as a traveling salesman. He was considered a man of more than ordinary ability. His escape from the state asylum was the fourth attempt and following his capture at Auburndale, and return to the institution he has displayed similar char acteristics to those which he has shown at other times. Religion Prohibits Smoking. William Williams, commissioner of immigration, is puzzled over the case of Joseph Cassim, 14 years old, who came here September 9 from his home in Mount Lebanon, Palestine, to go to his brother, Hesslen, in Pine ville, Ky. The brother is in business in Plneville with a cousin, Henry Cassim, and is said to be prosper ous. The board of special inquiry on Ellis Island decided Wednesday that the boy's mother in Mount Lebanon waa a better guardian and ordered him deported. The cousin came on from Plneville. He offered to put up a bond of $2,000 that the boy would not be a public charge, and explained that if deport ed the lad would be sent first to Rio Janeiro, as he had come that way. The commissioner's attention had been called to the boy because the youngster wanted to beat a man who offered him a cigarette on the island. The boy explained that the Drus re ligion, in which he was brought un. prohibited the use of tobacco in any form, a fact that made all Ellis Is land wonder. A decision is expected tomorrow.

Prof. Roberts of Manhattan Gives Valuable Pointers. Tells What Trees Give the Beet Eifects. "Does anybody know who got the Pig? It was a clubwoman at the October meeting of the city Fed at the Com mercial club Friday who asked. And, somehow, the homely question at a club meeting, ordinarily devoted exclusively to the Higher Life, came as a relief. Everyone sighed a sigh of Intellectual and physical relaxation, although a good many of the other women, includ ing Mrs. J. D. McFarland, who in the absence of the federation's president, Mrs. Lee Monroe who has gone to Ex celsior Springs to take the baths and water for a severe attack of rheuma tism, was chairman, looked rather blank. The back yard prizes awarded by the civic committee this summer were under discussion. The pig, it de veloped, was one of the prizes. A mem ber of the civic committee arose to state that the pig had been awarded to an amateur horticulturist who lives on the banks of the Shunganunga and who had earned the prize although his place had been twice flooded. I don remember his name," she said. "But he lived out some distance." "Outside the city limits I trust," Interposed Mrs McFarland. Great secrecy has been maintained as to the identity of the principal donor of the back yard prizes who gave fifty dollars in cash. Mrs. F. W. Watson, who was president of the federation when the prizes were offered moved vote of thanks to the mysterious anonymous donor and it was suggested that, the Fed "pin a rose" on mm. ac cordinely the vote of thanks and s bouauet of red roses which adorned the chairman's table were sent to him at the close of the meeting. However, the secret has been kept long enough, and the writer violates no confidence in disclosing the fact that It is Mr. Arthur Capper who is so modestly nming ms light under a bushel. Forestry the Theme. The October meeting might be said to have been a symposium on the subject of Ain't Nacher Grand? The West Side Forestry club had charge of the pro gram during which Mrs. O. E. Walker of that club presided, giving a uttie talk about the organization of the club through the efforts of Mrs. W. A. Johnston, and introducing the speak ers. Professor H. L. Roberts of the State Agricultural college, Mannaxian, tlons in the selection, planting and Mrs. G. A. Huron who read a paper n the psychological effects of nature study. The federation voted to estab lish a department of forestry, the ob ject of which will be to assist the park boards and civic improvement associa tions in the selection, plating and pruning of trees and shrubs in the streets and parks. Professor Roberts suggested that such a department mieht be of much service to the com munity, if some member of it would superintend the pruning of the trees which are so often ruined by tree butchers who are utterly unfitted for the work and who do it with no consid eration for the health or beauty of the tree. Professor Roberts Address. Professor Roberts is an unusually agreeable speaker and although he dis claimed any especial fitness to discuss the subject of forestry, which he said. not his specialty, he gave a most in teresting talk based on his own obser vations and experiences in tree plant ing. At the outset the speaker differ entiated between forestry as a profes sion, mainly devoted to the cultivation of as many board reet of lumber as possible to the acre, and forestry as an art, for the beautifying of the land scape, the sense in which the federa tion is Interested In the subject. In forestry as a business or profession, forestry in the sense in which it is now occupying so much public attention, Professor Roberts said, there was no sentiment and no aesthetic considera tlon. It was simply a question of pecuniary profit, raising lumber to re place the devastated forests, or of con serving the few timber tracts which re main. Technically, forestry means the employment of waste lands for the growth of timber. The United States had been de-forested to such an extent that in 300 years the vast natural forests had been almost entirely de spoiled and to replace them is one of the great public problems of the day. The state of Ohio, for example, which was once almost one huge forest, has now only about ten per cent of its area in timber. This deforestation of the country was a serious loss not only from the aesthetic and sentimental standpoint but also for practical rea sons. The removal of the trees had seriously damaged the country, the in Jury to agricultural Interests belig al most Incalculable. The roots of the trees hold the soli In place, the timber along the streams largely prevents floods, not to mention the advantages of shade and enrichment of the soil, the formation of the black mold cl humus essential to profitable agricul ture. The Influence of trees on climate Is a much discussed question and can not be stated with any positiveness as yet. Forestry as a profession Is Btill in its infancy in this country where we have only lately been confronted with the results of the wanton waste of the timber by the pioneers and are just beginning to study the methods of foreign countries where forestry has been practiced for centuries. We are children, who having eaten all our candv first find ourselves lookln&r around for bread and butter. Vastly favored by nature, we were too prodi gal of her gifts and despoiled the for ests for years with no thought of re placing them. Every one knows the history of the extravagant milling which devastated the timber tracts in this country until, from having had the best and cheapest lumber in the world, the ordinary citizen is now able to carry off under his arm all the lumber he can afford to buy. The gov ernment forests of Europe, the Black Forest of Germany, th3 forests of France, Austria and Hungary, give an example of what may be done by sys tematic tree culture in the preserva tion of the forests. No Forests to Iose. 1 In Kansas we had no forests to lose 1 x 106 East Sixth Street else we should probably have wasted it as shamelessly as other states had done. Here the problem has always been to raise trees and forestry in its aesthetic sense, tree-planting on lawns, in parks and streets is a subject of importance and one to which club women may well turn their attention. In pioneer days the soft wood, quick growing trees had been planted almost exclusively in Kansas. We were glad, then, to have any sort of shade trees and these served to tame the soil of the prairie. But the result has been that white elms, cottonwoods and soft maples predominate on our landscapes and the eye seeks vainly the deep, dark restful green of the slower grow ing hard wood trees. In our bright, sunny climate we need deeper, darker greens. Our trees are not green enough to satisfy anyone who has seen the spruce and beech forests of the north and east. In our woods one must walk carefully in order not to step out on either side, and a dense shade is almost unknown. We should try to introduce the deeper note of green and to replace our soft wood trees as far as possible with the slower growing maples, oakes and pines, tn this work we build largely for the fu ture, and our children and cniiaren s children will enjoy the fruit of our ef forts. One of the best of the hard wood trees is the Norway maple, which has leaves of a darker green tnan tne ordi nary sugar maple" and is unsurpassed for lawns or parks. It is a permanent tree and will survive in this climate under reasonably favorable conditions. It should be planted on the northeast side of already established trees or shrubs. The many varieties of native oaks are available and desirable, the burr oak of our bottom lands being an especially good variety for the lawn. There is no better tree to line drlve wavs and streets than the pin oak. which does well in Kansas, although it is not indieenous. Shade Is not the onlv consideration in tree-planting, especially at this stage in Kansas where shade is no longer the problem it has been. We may now consider nermanence. beauty and color effects With this latter object in view plant the scarlet oak in parks and lawns to brighten up the fall landscape. The Russian Olive. The Russian or mock olive whose light ereen leaves lined with silver E-rav lock not unlike the olive from which it srets its more familiar name, Is a handsome tree especially if plant ed aeainst a background of darker trees. It is a quick growing tree and hitrhlv ornamental. Norway maples, oaks ahd other formal trees should be planted singly. When masses, back grounds and manumental effects arc desired there is nothing better than evergreens. The common red cedar, is, however, an abominable tree for ordi narv nurboses. It turns brown in win ter. is the especial prey of spiders, and catches and holds tne dust, irigntiuny. It should be. excluded from lawns, al though it may be planted successfully and effectively on -stony Diuns over hanging streams where it does well and gives a picturesque and pleasing effect. The silver pines. Colorado sil ver spruce, and Austrian spruce are of formal habit ana most aesirapie when planted singly, but for large clumps or masses nothing is more beautiful than tne wnite pine. it must be planted and cultivated with exeat care in this climate, however, as it is sensitive to hot winds, but if proper precautions are taken it will grow in Kansas, and Is a most satis factory tree for certain purposes.- With a mass of dark pines for a background the mockr-olive lightens up the lawn with its shining foliage and it is well to plant In front of it some thing for winter color. The golden willows In Willow park are especially effective and the amateur tree-planter should not overlook the advantages of the scarlet-stemmed dogwood to brighten the winter landscape. Forestry clubs may be very useful n a community to superintend the se lection, planting and pruning of trees In streets and parks, to encourage the planting of more beautiful, permanent trees and to cultivate a taste for ar tistic landscape effects. Women have both the time and taste for this sort of work ordinarily neglected by the men, who are busy or too indifferent to take an interest in it. The average husband will not join a forestry club or make a study of tree planting, but he will at least encourage his wife In her efforts in these directions and fur nish the money to carry on the work.

Miller, United States at torney for this district, said today that he did not know who Santer was, and that he had mailed a subpoena at the request of Stuart McNamara, special attorney of the department of justice, In charge of the proceedings against the publishers of the Indianapolis News and similar proceedings in New Tork city against the publishers of the New York World. It is understood here that Santer Is Irving C. Sauter, a secret agent of the department of justice, who was in this city last spring gathering evidence for the government In the matter. Mr. Miller said so far as he was ad vised Santer, or Sauter was the only witness that would be subpoenaed. He had not been informed, he added, that William Nelson Cromwell, Frank H. Hitchcock or representatives of the banking house of J. P. Morgan Co., had arranged with the department of justice to come to Indianapolis to tes tify without the formality of a sub-, poena. Mr. McNamara had stated to Judge Anderson of the United States court of this district, that he probably would ask Mr. Hitchcock. Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee; certain members of the firm of Morgan Co., and others to testify in the Panama canal matter. i IN JUNGLE SOCIETY.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1909. POUTICJOOSSIP Gerernor Stubbs Decides on Re form at Lansing:. lias Cut Force oi Employes at Penitentiary. BUT CURTIS FORCED IT Senator Had Itombarded Inflat ed Payro!!. Gorernor, After Months cf T.r por, Acts Quickly. It has been announced from the gov ernor's office that a telegram was sent to the penitentiary board instructing them to cut the number of employes "at the prison as low as possible con sistent with good discipline and man agement, la connection with this an nouncement it Is stated that this move ment Is directly. In line with the gover nor's long ago expressed intention that no man should work for the state that was not giving a dollar's worth of work for a dollar. The governor has preached from the text of a business administration ever since he entered his office last January. Ho has had control of the penitentiary for nine months. There were 101 em ployes on the prison payroll to look after 1,200 convicts when Governor Etubbs took charge. Then the five hundred Oklahoma prisoners were re turned to that state, leaving only about seven hundred prisoners at Lansing, yet the months rolled by, the old Hoch warden was removed and a new one appointed and the payroll remained the same. Governor Hoch had 105 employes at the prison to look after 1.200 convicts, end under the business administration of Governor Stubbs It required 101 em ployes to look after about 750 prison ers. No change was ordered mado nor even suggestion advanced during a per iod of about six months of this state of affairs until last week Senator Cur tis gave the facts and figures of con ditions at the penitentiary, and then Immediately following that broadside the governor wires the penitentiary board to cut the force at Lansing. And his organ declares that this act was in line with his expressed policy. It was a belated policy, prodded into action by the shafts of the chief of the Shaw nees. The man who talks much, from him much is expected. The governor will talk loudly and often about reform and a. business administration, so it is only natural that criticism should arise quicker and sharper than if he had held his tongue until he had acted. Personally, the governor is a delight ful man; he has force of character and many attributes to be admired, but po litically ne piays too much to the grandstand. To meet him and talk with him one would not suspect this failing. The governor has not an ounce of personal egotism, but he has a ton of it in a political way. Maybe he cannot help it. Maybe this is the only method of preaching a reform crusade. If the governor had merely announced the cut of the prison payroll and let it go at that, no criticism, but rather praise should have been- his portion, but he had to refer again to that threadbare expression of a "dollar's worth of work for a dollar's pay," etc., and this Is the onlv business adminis tration In captivity. Then naturally thoughts arise of how Governor Hoch. Without these business pretentions, cared for 1.200 convicts with the same employes that Governor Stubbs pays for caring for 750 convicts. And at the federal prison 1,210 prisoners are cared tor by 91 employes. Then again as a capsheaf to all this talk of a business administration, there are a hundred more employes on the state payrolls now than there were a year ago under the rule of the simple and unbusiness like Marion editor. The man who stands on an eminence and raises his voice in thunder tones always attracts attention and he has followers who are blinded by the light of his greatness, but when his foot slips there are also many to fee him and he has only himself to blame if he Is a target for many lances. The higher they stand the greater they fall. "There is no such sentiment against the tariff In Kansas as has been men tioned by certain politicians," said D. R. Anthony, congressman from the First congressional district. "The peo ple of Kansas believe in the American or protective tariff system. I mentfon no names but I do not think the most of these socalled progressive politicians are honest and sincere they are play ing to the political gallery. "Most of these men are political cow ards, following what they believe is the sentiment of the people, because it seems to be popular. The tariff is now out of politics the tariff commission I will now take care of It. The bill may be changed from time to time but the big fights of the future win not be on the question of the tariff but on the en Leave Your Order Now For a Suit or Overcoat, made- -to-order for (CD; 00 C$25 -OTHERS MATGLASSE "Clothes Shop" Clothing for Men 3d Floor Central Nat.

The key note speech of the DemO' cratic state campaign will be given by Senator George Hodges in Abilene some time in November. Senator Hodges says that he wants more time which is taken by the politicians to mean that he wants to decide positively "on running for governor. Henderson Martin of Marion,- chair man of the Democratic state central committee, was in Topeka the other day conferring with some of the lead ing Democrats of the state. He ex pects the Democratic campaign in Kansas to start off with the Abilene meeting. He says conditions in the state are in fine shape for a Demo cratic victory and that as fast as the days go by the conditions grow better. "The Democrats over the state," Mr. Martin said, "are getting a great deal of satisfaction Cut of this row over state taxes. The row is wholly with in the Republican party and the Democrats have reason for being happy over it. It is working things right into the camp of the Demo cratic party." Chairman Martin has been talked of as a candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket but he does not appear to take the rumor seriously. What he is interested in is to get the campaign started early, bringing out some good candidates and putting the new Democratic daily at Wichita on Its feet. PLACE TO WM. DILL. He Was Appointed Jndge of Leaven worth District Court. William Dill of Leavenworth was ap- pointed district judse of Leavenworth county by Governor Stubbs this morning. He is aDDointea to succeed james i. liiu- patrick who has been forced to retire on account of illness. William Dill. Appointed Judge of Leavenworth District Court Today by Governor Stubbs. The appointment of William DiU has been expected for some time. Among the applicants for the office were Arthur Jackson, a relative of the attorney gen eral; C. P. Rutherford, a veteran of the civil war, and Louis Wulfekuhler, a prom inent attorney of Leavenworth. All ot the applicants have been represented to Governor Stubbs by A host of friends and the rivalry for the position was intense. William Dill has been serving as Judge pro tern for the last year or so. When Judge Gillpatrick was taken sick about a year ago the bar of Leavenworth county forced the appointment upon William Dill. He came into office at the time of the big liquor fights in Leavenworth and stood ior law ana order an the way through. Since this time he has been servine in the capacity as Judge and wholly without pay. It was a thankless position under tnese circumstances but the Judge stuck to his post and he has been doing good work in the county. His appointment as judge came as a reward ior tne taitniul worK wnen tne position was open. Judge Dill's appointment is a satisfac tion to everyone. His friends and support ers in Leavenworth county are all Jubi lant over the decision of the eovernor. Around the state house the satisfaction over the appointment is received with much favor. All of the state officials have a good word to say for Judge Dill and they consider his new position a re ward or nis merit. William Dill Is one of the oldest resi dents of Leavenworth county. "He was there in Leavenworth before the river." was the way Dell Valentine expressed it. He has learned and practiced his law in that county and is considered a very effi cient anu oriniant lawyer. He was at one time a member of the famous old firm of Baker Dill, but since that time he has been In the practice by himself and has made a great record. "He is a good man, a good lawyer and a good .official." is the way one state house official expressed it this morning. He has been supported Tjy the best people of Leavenworth in the campaign for the position and his appointment is a general satisfaction to all.

TWO ARE INELIGIBLE First It Was McVey, Now It's Bishop. Only Fullback in School Stopped by Tecbnicalily. The Washburn student body in gen eral and the Washburn atheltlc inter ests in particular, are again up in arms against the Washburn faculty, and the long evisting breach between me interests which widens and narrows at intervals has increased to an alarming latitude. The latest trouble arises over the action of the Washburn faculty which in session last night voted "Young Jack" Bishop ineligible for this year s football team. Bishop has all along been considered the only available man for fullback, and this latest ac tion of the faculty has only served to fan the glowing embers of student antagonism at Washburn. The contention of the raculty is that Bishop hasn't been taking enough work Bishop was in school all laa. season, and is not working for a de gree but is confining his studies ex clusively to a biological course. Bishop has been taking all the work in this department whicn me K .iDi a hiirh standard oi id has attained a high standard of a. of the rules of an.a ""."""T" T the rules of 9no.'m ,r.r.n student is I if ble Vr interconegiate athletic competition until he has 'ompletd work equivalent to one term of twelve hours. Bishop completed work last season equivalent to sixteen hours work, which would make him strictly eligible. The only ground on nictt the faculty stands is that Bishop didn t take it all in one term. This following the action of the faculty a few days ago. in that McVey would not be eligtDie even before' McVey had started L prac tice only makes the student body all the more antagonistic. The students for the past three or four years, in fact ever since the new Kansas conference rules were adoP have felt that the faculty has been too Strict, and that it ?h let? with bulldog determination on the let ter instead ot the spirit of the law As an example of contrast, the Washburn students today point to the action ot tne faculty o? the State Agricultural college, which only inn" Ti,,ihiM two St her doubtful P1 a nL'SlM! for tomorrow's game with the Mi? souri Tigers at Columbia. The faculty's action seems to be crippling the team more than a half dozen defeats would. When football material is as scarce at Washburn as It is this year, one man's absence from the lineup, can make a material differ ence. Last year after a game the stud ents delighted in telling how the team defeated the opposing team together with the Washburn faculty. As the team now stands there Is not an available man for the fullback posi tion In tomorrow's game with the State Normal, Whitcomb, who has never been behind the line, will try himself at fullback. Foster might be developed as fullback but would b a r. TfoKter will likely not be in inmnrrmi's same anyhow. He has been at his home in western Kansas for several days on account of the death of his mother and would be in no condi tion to Dlav tomorrow. If Whitcomb fails to deliver the team will be in a decidedly deplorable condition. The hark field is hard up for material and the ban of the faculty imposed on two of the most promising condidates, won't alleviate conditions in the least. Play Wentworth Monday. a amf Monday between the Wash burn second team and the Wentworth Military academy team, to be played at TTinirtnr Mo., was announced this morning by Manager Glenn Millice of the Washburn rooiDau team, am urc players who have not -earned the "W's" which entile the holder to rating as first men, will be taken along. This game should be of considerable inter est for the Wentworth team earlier in the" week defeated the Kansas univer sity second team by a decisive score. Last season Wentworth won from a similar Washburn team by kicking a field goal. DYCHE ON COOK. Man Who Speaks Here Believes Cook Reached Pole. Kansas City, Oct. 8. Prof. Dyche of Lawrence is emphatic In his belief that Dr. Cook reached the pole. 'I believe Dr. Cook reached the North Pole." This is th j -nression of Prof. L. -j. Dyche of the University of Kansas. Professor Dyche knows Dr. Cook. He knows Commanaer Peary. He took a ship to the Arctic regions in 1895 and rescued Peary and his party, who had been given up for lost. He has had much experience in traveling in the far north. He came to Kansas City to meet Dr. Cook. "I have read eery word printed about this exploit," Professor Dyche said yes terday. "Everything Dr. Cook has said, his descriptions of the country, the last land he found, the ice conditions, all convince me of his truthfulness. But without these data I should still believe Dr. Cook. He Is not the sort of man to come home and tell a falsehood. Scientific men could quickly catch a trickster." 'How, professor? That's what the common people want to know. How can any records be proved true if they de scribe conditions of which no other man can actually know? No other man save Peary ever has been at the pole. Cook's Word Is Good. "Science -knows what the astronom ical record should show." "As Peary and Cook say they were at the pole in the same month but In different years, should not their data agree?" "Approximately, I should say. I fear Peary and his friends have started something they will find hard to stop. Dr. Cook's word is as good as any man's in the world. He is a gentleman. The Arctic club in Brooklyn Is for any American; the Peary club is for Peary. Well, what have we to prove that any one ever reached any latitude in the far north?. Their observations, astronom ical records and their word of honor." "But. as science knows so much. couldn't a scientific man fix up a record in the north and 'get away with it?" "No. No man could describe condi tions up there and fool any expert. Cook and Peary, went and returned by amerent routes so their- observations would differ. I Jam convinced that Dr. jook was the -first man at the pole, His word Is good enough for me." BANKS MUST PAY. Governor Haskell Demands Guaranty Fund From Oklahoma Banks. Oklahoma City. Okla.. Oct.' 8. Such state banks as are suspected of being reluctant to pay the emergency levy of tnree-rourtns of 1 per cent on their daily average of deposits Into the state bank guaranty deposit fund for the benefit of the Columbia Bank and Trust company-are being visited by personal representatives of Governor HaVell and warned, that they must not reiuse payment or are being called over the telephone by Governor Haskell him self and notified that they will have to comply with the law. The bankers are being told that after the three-fourths of 1 per cent has been sent to the guarantv fund from the de funct bank the money will be restored to the individual banks. Governor Haskell is telling owners of state banks that hereafter no state funds will be deposited in national banks, because he believes the nations banks are unfriendly to the guaranty law. The national banks are said to have aDout 40 per cent of the state funds in their keeping. It is probable that no state banker will now refuse to pay the present levy, as those bankers opposed to the workings of the guaranty law are not sufficiently organized to resist the collection of the levy with safety to iiieinseives. RETURNS FROM EUROPE. Son's Suicide Kept From Mrs. Dan iels Until Here. Although she had learned of the death of her son Roy G. Daniels, his mother, Mrs. J. F. Daniels, did not know until she arrived in Topeka to day from a trip abroad that the young man had (taken his own life in a hotel here less than a week ago. Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Kirk, 1110 Monroe street, met Mrs. Daniels In Kansas City and accompanied her here, where she is at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Shirer, 1157 Fillmore street. Mrs. Daniels first learned of her son's death when she landed at the pier in New York after several months spent In Germany. She was informed by Mrs. T. S. Hand, and George Willet, friends of the family. However, the fact that the young man had taken his own Je was kept rrom ner until she neared Topeka, when she was told the fact by Mrs. Kirk. "I don't know anything." she soh bed hysterically this afternoon, "when the funeral will be held, I am not quite certain. We have not yet had lime to taiK it over. Mrs. Daniels arrived here at 12:3fJ o'clock The train on .which she came was about one hour Jate. RUTH BRYAN TO RUN. Announces HerCnndldacy for Congress in First Colorado District. Denver, Oct. 8. Ruth Bryan-Leavitt has announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for congress from the First Colorado district. With the support of the Jane Jefferson- club, of which she Is president, of ex-Senator Patterson and his papers, and with her father's prestige in Colorado, she expects to put a Bryan on the payroll or tne nation again. But there are mutterings In the Jane Jefferson club. Th;re are members much older than Mrs. Leavltt, some of mem old enough -to be her mother, who believe that if a woman is to be sent to congress from Colorado, the eider stateswomen should furnish the timber. They are perfectly willing to have Mrs. Leavitt go to congress from Colorado six or eight years from now, when she has become mature and well poised, they say, but just now they want the place for one of their num ber. However, Mrs. Leavitt and her friends are going ahead with their plans. The Republican women are busy along the same line and the wife of Marshal Dewey C. Bailey may be a candidate oerore tne JriepuDiican .first district convention. CURTISS FLIES AGAIN. Makes Three Quarters of a Mile in a Minute and a Half. St. Louis, Oct. 8. Glen H. Curtiss made another trial flight in his 25 horse power biplane today before a small audience of St. Louis Aero club members. He was in the air a min ute and a half. sailing three-quarters of a mile against a fresh east wind. A cluster of trees dead ahead caused him to descend. Hugh A. Robinson of St. Louis to day made his first attempt to fly in his monoplane. Ctrrzon, owner of the Farman blilane rose four feet from the. ground rin that machine. This was a better performance than Osmont, the French aviator, has been able to do with the same craft. Formal flights were scheduled for late today, but because of the in creasing breeze the chances for suc cess with anything but dirigible bal loons were not bright. SENDING IN STARS. "Billion Dollar" Staff of Ex-Chief of Chicago Police All Resign. Chicago, Oct. 8. 3. Ogden Armour, John Farson, Lawrence Heyworth and other members of farmer Police Chief Shippy's "billion dollar" personal staff, have sent in their stars and resigna tions of Chief Steward. Secretary Markham said that two thirds of the staff have responded to the invitation to resign. The stars will be cleaned and, changed a little in de sign and then reissued. Chief Steward asserted that he would not reappoint any millionaire who fails o turn in his star within a day or two. y Gold Goim to Japan. New York. Oct. 8. Two million dollars in gold was engaged today by the Yokohama specie-bank for ship ment from the subtreasury to Japan via San Francisco.

Kansas City. Oct. 8. P. Frederick A. Cook, the arctic explorer, ad dressed an audience estimated at 7,000 people in Convention hall here last night. His cold, for which he took treatment, was improved. The explorer left at 11:45 o'clock for St. Louis. He will participate In the festival there and later go to Chicago, where he lectures tonight. COOK HEADS PARADE. Guard of Mounted Police Saves Him From the Crowd. St. Louis. Oct. 8. Dr. Frederick Cook. Arctic explorer, headed the most impressive or the centennial week page ants today, when he rode at the head of the military, historical and educational parade. The greeting given the explorer was most enthusiastic. Dr. Cook rode in the Adolphus Busch lanaau, drawn by four horses and sur rounded by mounted police who kept tne crowds rrom capturing the explorer. Dr. Cook left for Chicago at noon. Another popular feature of the parade was the appearance of the officers and men of the United States torpedo boat flotilla. ine Jackies" were received with deafening cheers all along the line of march. Troops from the regular army recruiting station at Jefferson barracks, state militia, thousands of school children and college students and floats depicting the historical happen ings of St. Louis and vicinity from frontier days to the Louisiana purchase exposition, completed the pageant. JAPAN'S FRIENDSHIP. Is. Vouched for by American sionarles at Tokio. MIs- Tokio, Oct. 8. The protestant semi-centennial of Tokio. composed of 100 missionaries, representing American churches of all denomina tions, adopted resolutions today ad dressed to "American lovers of inter national peace and good will." The resolutions assert that the gov ernment and people of Japan have maintained consistently an attitude of cordial friendship to the United States, therefore the American people are asked carefully to discriminate in the news received from Japan, for in the last two years a mass of mis Information has been circulated con cerning this country. The assertion is made that, not withstanding the persistent evidences of ignorance concerning Japan ap pearing in the sensational press of America, the people of Japan have continued to maintain a friendly at titude and a high degree of self con trol. In conclusion the resolutions de clare that the removal of race prejudice and misunderstandings be tween the peoples of the two coun tries is in the highest degree de sirable. IT REACHES ALBANY.

WHEAT Trading in all grain pits on the Board of Trade to day was dull early in the day, many trad ers holding aloof because of the forthcom-, ing government report at noon. There was a fair commission house demand for wheat at the start and with only light of ferings a generally firm tone prevailed early in the session. Argentine advices were again disquieting, aaaiuunai repuna of damaee to the growing crop by locusts being received. These advices together with the prevailing high premiums for cash wheat in this country were the chief bullish influences. Prices at the onenin&r were a shade to c higher, the December delivery being at $1.01 to $1.01. Later December ad vanced tO Jl.Oi'fe. The market gained additional strengtn as the session advanced.

'i I i THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1909. GROWINGJATTER. Pr.sld.nt Taft Is Bing Too lTell Fed in the lV.st. Impossible to Follow Bales of Diet He Started With. AMONG THE BIG THEES Spends Three HeursTiewing the Great Sequoia Trees. Is Guarded by Detachment of Cavalry at Night. Wawona, Cal.. Oct. 8. President Taft was up at 6 o'clock this morning and an hour later had started by stage to see the giant Sequoia trees of the Mariposa grove, eight milea from here. He spent nearly three hours in the grove, returned here for an early lunch and left this afternoon for Gla cier point, at the top of one of the great granite cliflfa that wall Tosemlte valley. Thft unlomn rHenltV of the Old trees, which were living things long before the Christian era. appealed strongly to Mr. Taft. From John Muir, the naturalist who accompanied him, Mr. Taft secured the history of the giants. When the Dresident started out upon his second day of roughing it, he had fifty miles of stage riding be fore him. Yesterday's trip of 34 miles over the mountains acted as a real tonic and Mr. Taft today was feeling quite equal to the Ave weeks of travel still separating him from the national capital. President Taft will spend the night at Glacier Point. Early tomorrow morning he will see the sunrise over the Tosemlte. He will men cnmo down a three mile trail to the floor of the canyon and spend the day traveling to points of interest at the foot of the granite walls. Saturday night will find the presi dent again at the park entrance at El Portal and Sunday morning he will board his special train and head for southern California. He Is Growing Fatter. The president is not adhering to the strict diet he started out to fol low; the hospitable west has made this impossible. The result has been considerable taking on in weight. The ride from Portal, which began at 7 a. m., included glimpses of Tree mite valley from Inspiration and Artist points a pursuit of the tumbling wa ters of the Merced river into the val, ley floor and a winding narrow climb to a height of 7,000 feet at the crest of mountains which shut in the wonders of the Tosemlte. The day was cloud less. News that mountain lions were in festing the park held out hope of ad venture for a time, but not even the tracks of one were seen on the road. The president declared that this was one of the most enjoyable days of his life. It was the first glimpse of the Tosemlte and the impressive surround ings, the bracing mountain air, the free rlom from sDeechfnaklnar all con tributed to the pleasure of the first day of roughing it in the sierras, unis oui lust' irt time, for the presi dent was pretty well tired out when he left San Franclsce. Meets a Pioneer. Mr. Taft's constant coach companion was John Muir, the noted naturaiis nnri exnlorer. Mr. Muir had ready an swers for the innumerable questions the president put to him. As he passed through the outskirts of the valley the president was saluted by a grizzled old California Dloneer. Galen Clark, the first white man to make known the ex istence of the giant Sequoia trees Clark is now more than 90 years old He lives in the park and has asked that he be buried among the trees and mountains he has known so long. Mr. Taft alighted from the stage and walked a mile or so up the mountain road. It gave him a splendid appetite for the picnic lunch served in tne Grouse creek pine forests. At one point in the park where a rhanare of stages was made, the presl dent was greeted by a band of school children and shook hands with all of them. Last night in the temporary White House" into which one of the little hotel cottages here has been con verted, the president was guarded as he was at Portal by a detachment of cav alry. Everyone is talking about San Diego Have you visited the San Diego ex hibit at the National Hotel, balcony floor? MONErjWALL Lawrence Plumber Found 800 in Old Coffee Urn. His Heaesty Cost Him His Mod est Little Fertune. AN ECHO OF OLD DAYS Finder Seeks te Recorer Money frem Present Holder. Deposit Slip Indicates Money Was Hidden in 1882. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 8. The find ing of a large roll of money, covered with the dust of years in an old cof fee urn lu the attic of the Morris Clark home and the subsequent dis pute over the ownership of the find, promises to unfold a most Interesting legal tangle. The finding of the money was un der very peculiar circumstances and such as to leave but little clue as to the Identity of the -person who hid the money many years ago in the de serted attic of the little brick home. Plumber Found Hidden Hoard. T. H. Mlntier. a plumber, is the man who is claiming the money from Air. juorris Clark. Mr. Mlntier was formerly a plumber for the Ohio Natural Gas company when that company had offices here. He later worked for Frank Bennett and is now running a pantatorium in Tex arkana. Ark. Mr. Mlntier found the money by the merest chance while plumbing the Clark home. The entire Incident happened in the year 1906 but has never been brought to light until now when the efforts of Mintier to recover the money which he had unwittingly given, became known. Mr. Mintier in a deposition before a Texarkana attorney states that he was sent by T. R. Robinson, the manager of the Ohio Natural Gas company to plumb the Clark home at 1012 New Hamp shire streets for natural gas. Mlntier says that he worked there some time and in piping some of the rooms had to go up into the small attic or loft 9 bbb. ii ii i mjL.ti ii ii Today l Tomcro tie Paxtoii Store The Prices Named Carry Subtantia Provide Your Every Need at a Worth While Saving!

There has been a great deal said among physicians about the many cures that are being made by the United Doctors, who have their To peka Institute at 610 Kansas avenue. In cases of gall stones. It was formerly believed by the medical profession that the only hope of a patient afflicted with gall stones was to use morphine to stop the pain, and later, operate. The trouble with the operation for gall stones Is that it is not only dangerous to life and may kill the patient during the operation, but if the patient is so fortunate aa to live through the operation, he is sel dom cured, and often has adhesions which make his case worse than before the operation. The treatment used by the United Doctors is a revolution In medicine, as it contlans no morphine or other opiate, and no operation is performed. They simply dissolve the stones by their dissolvent memoa. ana Dy clear ing up the liver and kidneys, relieve the cause of gall stone formation and thereby permanently cure the disease. A gall stone patient who Is treated by the United Doctors seldom has a symp tom of the disease after the first two weeks' treatment, and a cure can be expected in the course of a few months. Anyone who is a sufferer from this dread disease would do well to call and see them, and if they find that It is really a case of gall stones, they will gladlv cite you to some cured cases, and tell you exactly what it will be necesary for you to do to get well. Their charge for examination is noth ing and if you start on the treatment now, all it will cost you to get well is the cost of the medicines used. Re member the United Doctors are per manently located, but the offer of treatment at the cost of the medicines expires soon. under the eaves. The house is small one story brick residence. Money Was Burled In Brick Wall. Mr. Mintier claims that he plumbed two of the rooms from overhead by getting up through a small trap j door. Over two of the rooms, how- ever, he says that he had to make a hole in the brick partition to put in concealed plumbing. Here he says he noticed an old coffee urn stuffed I full of papers and covered with dust I sitting about three reet irom tne wall. He paid no attention to It, merely kicked it over and going ahead of his work. However. be fore he finished his work, he heard that that part of the house had been built years ago and thinking there might be something hid in the old urn, he on going up into the loft again, pulled out some of the' old newspapers that were stuffed in, and were covered- tnicic wnn.ausi. i Uni Contained $800 In Bills."' j To his great surprise he pulled out' with them a roll of bills and on dump ing the urn over found that it contained two packs of bills with a deposit slip around them dated 1882 and one pile of loose bills. Minteir Jammed the money into his pockets, finished his job up In a few minutes and hurried back to the Ohio Natural Gas company's Office In the 700 block. Here he showed the money to T. R. Robinson, his employer, and the two counted it, finding that the pack contained more than $800 In small bills. The two discussed what they had bet ter do with it and decided that Minteir should take It back and see if It be longed to the Clarks. Robinson accompanied Mlntier to the Clark home, so the deposition of Robin son states which Is In the hands of Ed win Riling who is handling the Law rence end of tne case ior Mr. xainteir. He asked the Clark girl if they had any money in the garret and both she and Mrs. Clark said no. Then Mlntier claims that Mr. Clark came out and claimed the money and he unthinkingly turned it over to him. Turned Find Over to Tenant. Mintier says that Clark told him to let him know of his whereabouts and that he, Clark, would make it right with him. This roused his suspicions and after investigating he decided to take actions to recover the money. Mintier also claims that the money could not have been placed in the loft except by tearing down the partition that he did when he plumbed the house and found the money. The Clarks acknowledge the finding of the money by Mr. Mintier in the pe culiar manner stated but Mr. Clark says that he placed it there himself and it rightfully belongs to him. .1 111.

J y- W ffnop MADISONJN BILL Seventh District Congressman in Topeka. Toted for Payne Bill Cause It Best Cenld Get. "FELT IT MY DUTY" Former Insurgent Thinks WestjK. U. Man Says It Will Be Ah- Is Satisfied. Tariff Will Be Out of Politics From Now On. Congressman Edward II. Madison, of the Seventh congressional district, one of the Kansans who lined up with the insurgents" at first and who finally submitted to his own judgment and voted for the Payne bill, is in Topeka. He came here Thursday for a number of cases he is conducting in the su preme court and has been dodging the political world ever since. But congressman jnaaison stiu siunas up for his own convictions. In speak ing of the Payne bill, Mr. Madison said: I will admit there are many adverse features to the Payne bill but on the whole I consider it the best that could be procured. I felt that it was my duty to vote for the Payne bill and I did it." "What do you think of the sentiment in Kansas over the Payne bill?" was asked. "Well. I am sure that I cannot say positively." answered the congressman. "But on the whole I believe that a majority Of the people are not satis fied with the bill. They have prayed for lower duties and I am sorry to say that I was greatly disappointed in the hill on account of this tact, ine peo pie of this country have a right to ask for lower duties and they have a good right to ask for a decrease but the Payne bill is the best that could be done." No Politics In Tariff. Congressman Madison was not able to connect the tariff with politics. "I think that the political part of the matter should be in the background and I am inclined to believe that it will be in t:e background. I can see no reason why politicians should take this as an issue and I do not believe that they will." In speaking of the situation in Kan sas over the tariff problem and the re ports that the political battles of the state would be based on this question, Mr. Madison was very doubtful. "I do not think that the tariff problem will have anything to do with the politics in Kansas. Before the time for the big fights in the state the tariff meas ure will be an old story. I do not mean to say that the people of Kan sj will foreet the tariff they will never do that but there will be so many other promems paramuum iu this that the issue will be a different story The congressman paid his respects to Governor Stubbs this morning and the two had quite a chat. Nothing of offi cial nature passed between them ac cording to their story and the conver sation was limited to personal regards inii the like. It will be remembered that 'hnth the governor and the con gressman have been styled together as" "Democrats in a tepuDiican garo. Mr. Madison has been making quite a. brilliant record at congress accora ing to stories told be others. Represen tative William Houston, of Tennessee, who has been visiting in this state, made the following comment on the work of Congressman Maaiaon in con eresa. "Congressman Madison is a warm friend of mine. He is well liked in Washington. When Congressman Madison desires to speak, he is given thi. attention of the whole house. He is regarded in both the lower and up per house as an authority on most any subject to which ne gives nis attention. Although he has not long been at Washington, he has progressed rapid ly and seems to have a brilliant fu ture." The Seventh district representative was in a happy mood as usual this morning and said that he liked the work at Washington. "Oh, I like the life very well very well," he said. "When I return home In Dodge City and see how the town has grown and how my law practice Is becoming a stranger, I feel as though I would like to stay in Kansas. But with a growing town that way a man can not expect to keep up with the times unless he is always on the spot. I love the law work and was mighty glad to be able to come up to the su preme court and argue a case today." Congressman Madison will return to his home in Dodge City today. Two Earth Shocks in Georgia. Dalton, Ga, Oct. 8. Two distinct earth shocks were felt here about 6 o'clock this morning, accompanied by a booming sound. Houses were shaken throughout the town, but no damage is reported. COOK AND, DYGHE. The Two Explsrers Met in Kansas City. Picture of Starvation Camp Familiar to the Professor. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. solutely Impossible To Disprove the Statements Made hy Bis Friend. The visit of Dr.' Cook and Professor Dyche as thus described in this morn ing's Kansas City Times: Perhaps the man who' enjoyed Dr. Cook's lecture most.. and the man who appreciated it most, was Prof. Ia. L. Dyche of the University of Kansas, a personal friend of Dr. Cook and Com mander Peary and a man who has ta ken part in several polar expeditions with both of them. "Wasn't It finer' he said at the Bal timore hotel after the lecture. "I never enjoyed anything more in my life. And when he showed that picture of Starva tion Camp on Jones Sound I wanted to jump up and shout. Drr Cook's cabin there was near where ours was when I was up there. The scene was perfectly laminar to me." "Do you feel sure that Dr. Cook dis covered the pole?" he was asked. "There is not the slightest doubt about it not a shadow of a doubt. It will be absolutely impossible to disprove his statements. If he had no records, those pictures and his story make up enough proof. "But why should he be asked to prove that he has been there?" Professor Dyche continued. "He is a reputable man and it is for the doubters to dis prove him. The world will believe that he has been there until someone shows that he has not been there and that time will never come, for he has been there just as surely as he has been in Kansas City." So Dyche's Daughter Might Hear. Prof. L. L. Dyche of the University of Kansas came down from Lawrence yes terday to see his friend, Dr. Cook. They were sitting in Dr. Cook's room at the Hotel Baltimore after dinner when Professor Dyche mentioned the fact that his 16-year-old daughter, Ruth, was ill and was disappointed be cause she could not come to Kansas City to meet Dr. Cook. "I'm sorry she's ill." said Dr. Cook. "Would you mind if I called her up and talked to her?" Dr. Cook went Into his room and closed the door and talked for ten min utes with a girl forty- miles away, who had been feeling blue because she could not come to Kansas City to meet her father's friend, who had discovered, the North Pole. "What did you say to her?" Dr. Cook was asked. "Oh, we Just chatted awhile," he an swered smiling, Dr. Cook has a daughter named Ruth. She is 9 years old and Is now in Washington. Finances of Lecture; About seven thousand people heard Dr. Cook tell of his discovery of the North Pole in Convention hall last night, and the receipts for his lecture were something like $10,000." Louis Shouse, manager of Convention hall, said last night. "We cannot give the exact figures until tomorrow, because we have been selling tickets tonight for the masked ball and for 'Pinafore,' and the accounts are somewhat mixed. Dr. Cook was paid a lump sum of $5,000 for his lecture, and his expenses probably amounted to another thousand, making the profits about $4,000 less the cost of the hall." LOCAL MENTION.

Wabaunsee and Shawnee Com missioners Meet. Will Build Road Two Milss West of Dover. OVER MISSION CHEEK. Will Have to 'Bui!d Bridge. 80-Foot Tine wood Park Company Ask Big Damages for a Boad. The board of county commissioners of Wabaunsee county, consisting of B. Buchli. chairman. D. C. Robinson and William Uhlrig held a conference with the SUawnee board this morning in the matter of the opening of one and a half miles of road between the two counties about two miles west of Dover ana involving the structure of an SO foot bridge across Mission creek. As the chief satisfactory result of the session, the Wabunsee board agreed to build the 80 foot superstructure of steel and the concrete floor of the bridge, Shawnee bnildins- the two niers and abuttments of about 18 feet high. Shawnee had :oDed to he abla tn use their old bri-Jg at Dover, moving it to the new location in order to build a better structure at Dover. Their proposition would have been to use it Wabunsee building the piers and a 30 iooi approacn, as the Dover bridge is but 55 leet long. But Waubaunsee of fered alternative propositions, one to let Shawnee use the Dover bridge pro viding it be strengthened sufficiently to carry a concrete floor and they would ouiia me inree piers necessary, the oth er to build a one span steel superstruc ture the entire length with Shawnee constructing the piers. The latter was accepted as the, old bridge can be used equally as well in the neighborhood when the new Dover bridge is built. It is conceded that Wabaunsee is in curring far the greater expense but the commissioners made their propositions stating that they, recognized the road was of much more value to their county than to Shawnee. The opening of the road and the good bridge will mean much to the farmers of Wabaunsee who must drive the long distance to Willard, the nearest rail road station, and for whom it will shorten the route several miles. The damages to -tend owners of Shaw- as granted Dy ttie viewers was placed at $325 and then cut to $250 by the board. The estimated cost of the onawnee end or the road is $1,100 to $1,200. Dikes at Silver Lake Giving Way. That the dikes built alone the Kaw opposite or near Silver Lake are of doubtful strength to withstand the power of the current of high water is the opinion of T. L. Campbell, the man who built them. ,f course that is no fault of the ccuhstructor who built them exactly as u specified and did a beautiful job, bufejf the sandy loam soil which Avas piled into the. shape of a veritable fortres, Campbell on-GooJ Roads. "1 fail to see ho the dikes will hold unless they are riprapped," said Mr. Campbell, who held a consultation with the county engineer this morning. "At one point on the Johnson place there is a square1 ber.l of the river where formerly'the "current ate out the sand pockets under the soil above, let ting the land for- several hundred yards deep fail into the river. It seems to me that this same sandy dike wiif suffer the same washing away when the hfsh water strikes it." Mr. Campbell has been Working on dike construction alon the Kaw ever since May. His outfit is now situated a few miles from Topeka and he in tends to bid on the West Sixth strett road before leaving. His home is at Fort Scott where he has long been a foreman on construc tion gangs and built the concrete cap for the big dam across the Marmaton river which supplies the city water. Speaking of good roads, Mr. Camp bell cited the system of his own city, Fort Scott. "In Fort Scott." he said, "that is in Fort Scott township. 36 miles of rock road and four more under construc tion which will make the total finish ed this fall 40 miles. There are seven of these rock roads leading into Fort Scott from the township lines. The city property is taxed the same as the county for these- roads and as a mat ter of fact pays 76 per cent of the cost of them. There is a big fight coming up about the matter of city folk pay ing for the roads of the farmers but they are all built now. "The project now on down there is the extension of the roads on to other towns making Fort Scott the center of a circle of smaller towns. These rock roads are--tested when finished by taking a rock the size of your two fists and throwing It on the surface In front of onei-rof the heavy rollers. Lightens the Load BIG TICKET SALE. Dyche Lecture Tonight Is Big Attraction. Topeka People Taking Deep In terest in Polar Affairs. A DYCHE INTERVIEW Noted Explorer Talks of His Travels. 'Stomach of Alligator" Neces sary for Arciic Travel. There has been a constant stream of people pouring into Stansfield's drug store today for the purpose of securing tickets for the lecture at the Audi torium this evening, "Cook and Peary and Discovery of the North Pole," by Professor Lewis Lindsay Dyche. The sale has been good and it is confidently expected that there will be a full house tonight. The trend of conversation on the streets shows that there is crreat. inter est being taken in the lecture, especial ly since Prof. Dyche has met bis old friend and companion, Dr. Cook, in Kansas City and conversed with him on subjects pertaining to his dash for me -oie ana me Dresent pontrnvprsv: Prof. Dyche having been on expedi tions in the Arctic regions with both Cook and Peary is probably more com petent to discuss the subject in hand than any person living with the excep tion of the two contestants for Polar honors. One of the interesting features of the program tonight will be the half hour which the Kansas naturalist and ex plorer will devote to the answering of questions. The people of Topeka have been deeply interested in the Cook Peary controversy and undoulfcedly keep the professor decidedly busy fur nishlng the desired information. The views which will be shown were taken for the most part by the lecturer who has colored them so that they will give his hearers a true picture of the scenes as he saw them. Professor Dyche has not appeared to any extent on the lecture platform for six years, but those who have heard h:m speak will recollect that he has many interesting tales of hairbreadth escapes from perilous situations to re late. After reading the story of Cook's 'Conquest of the Pole which Is ap pearing in the State Journal from day to day, the one hundred views which will be thrown on the screen this even ing will be doubly interesting as they illustrate to perfection Dr. Cook's de scriptions of the frigid land. Aside from speaking of the polar controversy Professor Dyche will give a vivid picture of the land of Ice as he saw it and will tell of his exciting ad ventures which fell to his lot while on expeditions with Cook and Peary. He will have some interesting stories of polar bear and walrus hunts, and will describe in detail the manner in which he lived in the northern latitudes. "It requires a stomach like an al ligator," said Professor Dyche In ex plaining to a State Journal reporter the requirements for polar explora tion, "and Dr. Cook certainly has that. One must be able to eat almost any thing if he expects to be a successful explorer in frigid lands. It is general ly supposed that the Eskimos eat Mubber and drink oil, but this is not the case. They eat lean meat with a little fat with it, but they consume no more fat than I would. They often eat their meat raw owin to difficulty in cooking it." Invariably the rock is crushed, un able to penetrate into the surface. The Vinewood Park Road. This being Road Day with the county commissioners, the road petitioned for by J. W. Bigger to extend a mile and a half along the west side of Vinewood park was to come up for consideration but was continued owing to various causes. The sensation of the proposed road is the claim of $10,762.50 damages by the Vinewood Park company by their agent, F. G. Kelley. Ten thousand dol lars of this was for "additional dam ages" and the balance for actual oc cupance of land on which the value was placed at $125 an acre. The viewers allowed $427.50. R. Constable claimed $1,000 additional damages to $231.25 actual and was al lowed $215.25. T. F. Doran claimed $96 actual damage and was granted $90 by the viewers In their report. The construction of the road of whicn the estimated cost is $1,782.75 was fav ored by two of the viewers, George Lepper and James Stevenson. The oth er, J. W. Fergerson, handed in a mi nority report favoring the north one half mile where the land owners claim no damages and the expense would be about $10 for the making but giving his opinion that the south mile to be built at such great cost of making great fills and cutting bluffs would not be war ranted by the amount of travel the road would receive. DID you ever look up the meaning of the words "Price" and "Cost"? We venture you'd be interested, even surprised. "Price" originally meant not money, not cash but Reward, Praise, Worth. In the days of Caesar they called it "Pretium." "Cost" comes from the old Icelander word "Koster," signifying to Choose, to Test, to Prove. So "Price" is'really the Worth of the thing sold. "Cost" means how well the thing bought proves up in actual use. So we're not so far off the track today, for when you buy paint, the Price of it should be the measure of its usefulness, in appearance and wear. Its Cost to you will be how well it stands the test you put it to. If it does well, it's cheap; if not, you paid too much. -Measured by this, poor paint costs far, far more than good paint; never worth the price asked and never stands the test of wear.

In the first installment of his thrill ing: story, "The Conquest- of the Pole, printed In the State Journal, October 2. Doctor Frederick A. Cook told of the start 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 were pictured in their preliminary work for the final dash. Finally, after describing the various places visited In Greenland In search n 9 infnrmnttnn rr to con ditions farther north. Doctor Cook I disappear or shift to a line nearer the land. New Ice Stops Drift. In low temperature new Ice forms rapidly and this offers an obstruction to the drift of the old Ice. As the heavy central ice Is pressed against the un yielding land pack the small Ice is ground up and even heavy floes are crushed. This reduced mass as small ice Is pasted and cemented along .the shores of the big lead, leaving a broad band of troublesome surface as a seri ous barrier to sled travel. It seems quite likely that this lead, or a condi tion similar to it, extends entirely around the polar sea as a buffer be tween the land and the middle pack. With the big lead and its many possi bilities for troublesome delay behind. a course was set to reach the eighty fifth parallel on the ninety-seventh meridian. What little movement was noted on the ice had been easterly,' and to allow for this drift we aimed to keep a line slightly west of the pole Small noes, with low pressure lines separated by normal belts of new ice. were the rule during these days of travel. The temperature rose to 41 below. The western sky cleared slight' ly and offered strong appearance of land. The wind was not a troublesome fac tor as we forged along for the first day over this central -ick. After run of eleven hours the pedometer register ed 23 miles, but we had taken a zig zag course and therefore only placed 17 miles to our credit. The night was beautiful. The sun sank Into a purple haze and soon there appeared three seas In prismatic colors and these soon settled Into the frozen sea. During the night a narrow band of orange brightened the northern skies, while the pack surface glowed in magnificent shades of violet and lilac and pole purple blue. Land Clouds StiU Visible. Satisfactory observations at noon on March 24 gave our position as. iatitude 83 deg. 31 min., longitude 96 deg. 27 min. The land clouds of Grant Land were still visible and a low bank of mist in the west occasionally brighten ed, offering an outline suggestive of land. This we believed to be Crocker Land, but mist persistently screened the horizon and did not offer an opportunity to study the contour. Until midday the time was used for observations and a study, of the land n, UUSd VeLLlUIlS ailU A 8LUUV Ul til wroie oi trip "3 "Z tnZZ-rA conditions.

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 w.n ihr two Eskimos who went to the pole with him. In the fourth installment the discoverer describes the approach or tne long Arctic night which caused his party at Annootok to become very active in preparing for the dash to the Dole.

Conquest of the Pole. By Dr. Frederick Cook. (Copyrighted. 1909. by the New York Herald Company. Registered in Canada in accordance with the copyright Act. Copyright in Mexico under the laws of tne KepuDiio or Mexico, ah rignts reserved.) On snow-shoes and with spread legs I led the way. The sleds with light load3 followed. The surface vibrated as we moved along but the spiked handle of the ice axe did not easily pass through. For about two miles we walked with an easy tread and considerable anxiety, but we had all been on similar ice be fore and we knew that with a ready line and careful watchfulness there was no great danger. A cold bath, however, in that temperature, forty de grees below, could have had some seri ous consequences. In two crossings all our supplies were safely landed on the north shores and from there the lead had a much more picturesque aspect. For a time this huge separation in the pack was av mystery to me. At first sight there seemed to be no good rea son for its existence. Peary had found t a similar break north of Robeson chan nel. It seemed likely that what we saw was an extension of the same lead fol lowing at a distance the general trend of the northernmost land extension. This Is precisely what one finds on a smaller scale whenever two packs come together. Here we have the pack of the central polar sea meeting the land ice. The movement of the land Ice pack is intermittent and usually along the coast. The shallows, grounded ice and projecting points Interfere with a steady drift. The movement of tha central pack is quite constant and al most in jvery direction. The tides, the currents and the winds each give momentum to the floating mass. This lead is the breaking lino between the two bodies of ice. It widens as the pack separates, narrows or widens with an easterly or westerly drift, according to the pressure of the central pack. Early In the season when the pack is little crevassed and not elastic it is probably wide; later as tho entire sea of ice becomes active it may ter of the crevices. At the big lead a few algae were gathered, but here the sea was sterile. The signs of seal and bear, however, were encouraging for a possible food supply. In returning the season would be more advanced and the life might move northward, thus permitting an extension of the time al lowance of our rations. Though the heat of the sun was barely felt, its rays began to pierce the eye with painful effects. The bright light, being reflected from the spotless surface of the storm driven snows, could not long be endured even by the Eskimos without some pro tection. The amber colored goggles that we had made at Annootok from the glass of the photographic supplies now proved a priceless discovery. They effectually removed one of the greatest torments to Arctic travel. The darkened or smoky glasses, blue glasses and ordinary sunward automobile goggles had all been tried with indifferent results. They failed for one reason or another, mostly be cause of an insufficient range of vis ion or a faulty v construction, making it "impossible toproceed more than a few minutes without removing the ac cumulated condensation. Relief in Amber Glasses. This trouble was entirely eliminated in our goggles. The amber glass screened only the active rays which Injure the eye, but did not Interfere with the range of vision. Indeed, the eye, relieved of the snow glare, was better enabled to see distant objects than through Held glasses. It is fre quently most difficult to detect icy surface irregularities on cloudy days. The amber glass also dispels this trouble perfectly, enabling the eye to search carefully every nook and cre vice through the vague incandescence which blinds the observer in hazy weather. The amber glass therefore reduces not the quantity of light, as do smoky glasses, but the quality. We were not only relieved of the pain and fatigue of snow glare, but the amber color gave a touch of cheer and warmth to our ever-chtlled horizon of blues. The usual snow goggle add an ugly gray blue to the frozen seas which alone sends frosty waves over the nervous fibres. So thoroughly were we in love with tnese goggles tnat later they were worn while asleep, with the double object of screening the strong light which passes through the eyelids and also to keep the forehead warm. On this march in the early part of tne atternoon tne weather proved good and the ice, though newly crevassed, improved as we advanced The late start spread our day's work close to the chill of midnight, and be fore we were quite ready to camp there were signs of another gale from the west. Little sooty clouds with ragged edges scurried along at an alarming pace and beyond a huge smoky bank blackened the pearly glitter. Suitable camping ice was sought and in the course of an hour an igloo was built. The structure was built stronger than usual. Double tiers of snow blocks were placed to the wind ward and a little water was thrown over the top to cement the blocks. The dogs were fastened to the lee of hummocks and the sleds were se curely lashed and fastened to the ice. We expected a hurricane and had not long to wait to taste of its bit- It The Clothes of Felix are for the. man who insists on absolute accuracy in style, quality, fit and finish The Season's Newest in Suits, Overcoats and Raincoats Nova on Display $15 to $40 A Special Showing Men's Hand Tailored Sn.ts at $15.00 Boys' School Suits On Sale, Special Prices 620-631 Kansas Avenue ters. Before we were at rest in our bags the wind brushed .the snows with a force Inconceivable. The air thickened with rushing -drift. In a few moments the dogs and sleds were burled under banks of snow and great drifts encircled the igloo. The cemented blocks of our dome withstood the sweep of the blast very well, but many small holes were burrowed through the snow wall, permitting some drift to en ter. Storm Snddenly Drops. Early In the morning, after a rush of but a few hours, the storm ceased as suddenly as it came and left a still ness which was appalling. The dogs soon began to howl desperately, as if attacked by a hear, and we rusnea out, seeking guns, but there were no approaching creature. It was a combined sienal of dis tress. The storm driven snows had buried and bound them in unyielding frost. They had partly uncovered themselves, but by trace and harness thev were frozen to hardened masses, so much as that few could rise and stretch, which is a severe torment to dogs after a storm. We freed their traces, beat the cemented snows from their furs with sticks, and their curling tails and pointed noses told or common gratitude. As we skirmished about for a little stretch ourselves the sun rose over the northern blue, flashing the newly dnv en snows in warm tones. The tem perature durine the storm rose to 26 below, but now the thermometer sank rapidly below 40.. The west was still smoky and the weather did not seem quite settled. It was too early to start, so we disrobed again, slipped into the bags and sought a quiet siumDer. Explosions of Crackins Ice. A few hours later we were rudely awakened by loud explosive noises. Looking about, nothing unusual was detected about the Igloo, and a peep through the eye port gave no cause for the disturbance. It was concluded that the Ice was cracking from the sudden change of temperature in auite the usual harmless manner and we turned over to prolong the bag comforts. Then there came a series' of thun dering voices, with w-hich the ice quivered. Ahwelah arose and 6aid that the house was breaking. I turn ed to rise and sank Into a newly form ed crevasse, which up to that moment was bridged by snow and. a man in a bag is a helnless creature and witn water below and tumbling blocks of snow from above pressing one deeper and deeper the case was tar trom hu morous at a temperature of 48 below, Still the boys laughed heartily, Their hands, however were quickly accupled. Ahwelah grabbed my bag and rolled me over on snow of doubt ful security and they slippeld into furs witn electric quickness ana tossed tne things out on safe Ice. In the extreme cold the water froze in sheets about the bag, and when the ice was beaten off the reindeer skin was, to my pleasure, found quite dry. A few moments more of sleep and we might all have round a resting place in the chilling deep. That experience Kept us ever watchful or tne dangers of the spreading ice in all calms after storms.

Louis Grant, a prominent American resident of this city, charged with complicity In ex tensive opium smuggling schemes dis covered some weeks ago, entered a plea of guilty when the case was call ed today. He then took the stand as a witness for the prosecution. Grant paid that William Kennedy and a Chinese banker jointly charged with himself, had arranged the plans, and that he had not been Informed of It until after a shipment of mining ma chinery had been consigned to him in which the opium was concealed. Grant said that Kennedy offered him $5,000 to allow this opium to be landed, and admitted that he had ac cepted the offer. He claimed, how ever, that he had no other part in the plan. Grant's evidence was a part of the testimony in the trial of Kennedy which Is now in progress. HE GETS $50 A DAY. Manager's Salary Continues While He-Works as Common Laborer. ON ASQUITH'S TRAIL.

When he received his orders to report yes terday as a leather marker. he smiled and made ready. He left his home In the morning, jumped into his waiting touring car and drove to the works. Then he sent his automobile home, to call for him at noon, and donned a leather apron and went to work at a table with scores of other leather markers. George's time was kept by the time keeper just like that of all the labor ers to right and left of him. He was ordered about by the superintendent as if he had never sat at a desk in the front office. And when noon came he doffed the leather apron and became the wealthy citizen again as he. entered his automobile and drove to his home for luncheon. In the afternoon his labor was repeated. V.

SHOES TO TEMPERANCE. Chicago Workers to Dedicate 100,000 Pairs to the Cause. A CLOSE SHAVE Many of Them Happening Every Day But Soon Ftorgotten. Close shaves would be of more fre quent occurrence but for the tender faces of many men, which will not permit of shaving often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these columns about poslam, a new skin discovery, in connection with Its use after shaving. Its publicity and sales have been con fined almost exclusively to its remark able properties as an eczema cure; it stops the itching at once and cures the worst cases in a- few days. While the application of poslam after shav ing Is one of Its minor uses, such as for pimples, the complexion, etc., shavers will find it a revelation, as It does for abrasions, roughness, and se vere scrapings what It does for all manner of skin difficulties heals and cures In a few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been ex ploited for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do. Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggist's, particularly the Rosser Drug Company, 523 Kansas avenue, who make a specialty of it. or the Emergency Laboratories, jno 3?

Such women lack the corsets that would improve their figures for several reasons. Sometimes they are not enough interested to select the proper corset. Sometimes they don't know that prac tically every woman, of whatever fig ure, can get a corset to fit her if she i3 willing to search a bit. Sometimes they suspect that good looks mean discomfort. Whatever the reason, they are missing a lot of pleasure that they might have had, from knowing them selves looking the best. Thompson's "Glove-Fitting" Corsets we believe to be one of the best moderately-priced, American corsets and you may not know it, but America has a very enviable reputation for corset making. "Glove-Fitting" Corsets are graceful the very first requisite in a corset. Their materials are the best; the people who work on them are highly skilled and yet they are very moderate in price from $1.00 to $2.50. But what is best about them, is the way their maker has adapted Paris ideas. You can count on a "Glove-Fitting" Cor tet being down-to-the-minute in style. Come in and see them. Let our corsetiere show you the model best suited to your figure. 1 SSSEESSKSEEESEE r turn) EASTTOFEKAflfflBI The Premier Piano of the World i Allien you see it you are at tracted by its rich, and refined appearance.
