IB Detroit, Oct. 12. Cold weather for baseball greeted the enthusiasts as they made their way to Bennett pari: for the fourth game of the world's championship series between Pitts burg and Detroit, scheduled for today. The sun shone brightly but the air was far too cold for good baseball. The brilliant rall of Detroit in the closing innings of yesterday's battle ;has Inspired fresh hope in the breasts of the local supporters despite the defeat of their team. Four umpires will be on duty dur ing the remaining games of this series. Two will work in their reg ular positions behind the bat and on the bases, while the other two will be stationed at the end of the right and left field foul lines. Klem is sched uled to work behind the bat today with Evans on the bases, and O'Loughlin and Johnstone doing sentry duty along the outfield foul lines. The players will share in the receipts of one more game, and it is certain they will have more than $65,000 to divide among them. That will be the largest sum ever received by the players from a world's cham pionship series. Dividing it sixty per cent to the winners and forty per cent to the losing team it will give them roughly about $39,000 and $26. 000. Each player on the winning team will receive close to $2,000 and the losers will get more than $1,000 each. Wagner Outhlttinjr Cobb. Those who have been watching the Individual work of Cobb and Wag ner, find that Wagner has the lead on the brilliant young Georgian in nearly every way, today at the end of the three games. The Flying Dutchman boosted his stock in yesterday's game by bagging four hits. To date Wag- Tier's batting average is .600, wnne Cobb's is but .273.

Minister to China That His Resignation. Will Be Accepted at Once. HE WAS READY FOR IT Had Told His Chief He Prepared to Quit. Has President Taft Has i'een Told What Is Going On. Washington, Oct. 12. Secretary of State Knox early this afternoon sent a letter to Charles R. Crane of Chi cago, who is In Washington, notifying him that hia resignation as minister of the United States to China. would be accepted. Mr. Crane had already advised the secretary that he was prepared to re sign if the recent developments had made his service embarrassing to the department. Mr. Knox has advised President Taft of his action. It is taken for granted that he will accede to the secretary's suggestion. Mr. Crane .when seen at his hotel this afternoon said he had received a formal letter from Secretary Knox requesting him to tender his resigna tion as minister to China. Mr. Crane i explained that he had not seen the statement given out to the press at the state department and declined to talk for publication until he could read this. Knox's Statement. In announcing his action. Mr. Knox gave out the following statement, adding that he would have nothing to add to it: "The department of state has been engaged for sometime in making the usual study of the recent agreements between China and Japan in rela tion to Manchuria from such data bearing upon the situation as it was able to secure with a view of deter mining vhether there is anything in the agreements adversely affecting American interests or in conflict with the principle of equal opportunities to which the powers are pledged; a study not yet concluded and in re spect to which no decision has been reached. "While this investigation was pro ceeding Mr. Crane, the minister to China, came to the department and while there was informed by r,ne of the clerks that .such an examination was being made. "Without consulting with the act ing secretary or any 'other respon sible officer of the department and without the knowledge or authority of anyone connected with the de partment, Mr. Crane gave out a newspaper story to the effect that this government was preparing to protest against some features of the agreements and that the promulga tion of the protest also awaited the return of an official who was to formulate it. "The story appeared in a western paper and at the same time or a day later tn the Japanese press and sub sequently was generally published. Sent Him Telegram. "Such were the representations made to me October 1, by the re sponsible officers of the department of state, accompanied by their state ment that they had sufficient reasons to believe them to be true. Where upon I sent Mr. Crane at San Fran cisco the following telegram, dated October 3, 1909: 'You have been charged with the responsibility for the canards re cently appearing in the Japanese and American press to the effect that the United States is preparing to protest against the Chinese-Japanese agree ment. 'The evidence that you are re sponsible for this is of such a charac ter as warrants me in directing you to come to Washington at once and as I hope you are not. matters relat ing to Oriental affairs nave aeveiopea since you left Washington, to make it advisable for me to communicate with you personally and in the utmost confidence in relation thereto.'

I have reluctantly reached the con clusion that the good of the service demands that I should inform Mr. Crane his resignation will be accepted, and I have done so." How He Made It Worse. Friends of Mr. Crane have made the statement here during the pro gress of the developments since he ar rived here on Sunday afternoon that he had felt justified in his public ut terances by remarks which had been made to him personally by President Taft himself. Having reference to these state ments, it was said this afternoon in an authoritative quarter the depart ment felt assured that nothing Mr. Taft might ever have said to Mr. Crane could be claimed to justify the disclosures for which the present ac tion was taken. And the same authority declared undoubtedly Mr. Crane had greatly embarrassed the situation by deny ing several times while enroute from San Francisco that he knew why he had been recalled. There is no doubt, it was declared, that Mr. Knox had the entire appro val of the president in the action he had taken. Mr. Crane after receiving Secretary Knox's letter calling for his resigna tion, was shown a copy of Mr. Knox's statement and read it attentively. Re turning the paper to the reporter who brought it, he remarked that the matter was too, serious to be dis cussed offhand, but promised an in terview later in the day.- Cancels Steamer Reservation.

Presi dent Taft was r greeted by 2,600 veterans at the -Sawtelle Soldiers' home today and was given a hearty cheer, when he arose to speak. He was presented to the soldiers by for mer Governor H. H. Markham, as the commander in chief. "I am your commander-in-chief," said the president, "and as such I am entitled to your loyalty and support. I do not plead for it as a matter of compulsion, for I know that I have it anyway. I never stand before an audience like this, that I don't feel a thrill and long for words to express the gratitude that I feel that I have been spared to undergo such an ex perience and that we have through the country such institutions as this where those who are exposed to the dangers, the -wounds and the suffer ings of a great war rest a time and enjoy their remaining davs at the hands of a grateful country. "I congratulate you- veterans es pecially that it la your fortune to- live in this garden spot of the United States. I am sure that the .hospital list here is smaller than at any other, home in the country. And I warrant I can prove It by any resident of Los Angeles or of southern California.' "It is an inspiring opportunity to stand before an audience like this and to think what you represent. Lesson of the War. "No one is in favor of war. No one is in favor of suffering and no one is in favor of any obstacle to living that we have to overcome. But after war has come: after we have passed through four years of loss of life and treasure and of wounds and suffering, we see that in that great struggle was the opportunity for the United States to show that mettle of -which her citi zens were made and the sacrifices they were willing to make, that the govern ment might live. j "The great war could not be avoid ed. Some -people seem t: think that r, it might have been, but I do not. There existed a cancer which could be re moved only by aft operation such as the war afforded. "In speaking of the jwar it is only just that war should give those who opposed you credit for their magnifi cent courage and the magnificent fight they made, for their right as they saw it. "It is the greatest tribute that can be paid to you to recognize the fact that you had an enemy worthy of your -stoel. Out of the history of the war has come to all of us a common inter est and a common pride." On the -way to Sawtelle and back the president- was cheered by the crowds at every suburban station through which his car passed. Begins Kastward Journey.

State Superintendent Girts Out Information. Expects 4,000 Teachers in To peka Next Month. State Superintendent of Public In struction E. T. Fairchild has just is sued a circular letter to all of the boards of education and school super intendents of the state of Kansas. This letter is a final appeal to the school boards over the state to grant a two days' holiday to the teachers on full pay in order thatr they might come to Topeka November 4 and 5 for the big meeting of the State Teachers' associa tion at that time. The letter itself explains in full the value that the teachers will receive on this visit to Topeka and the necessity of their knowledge of the school world of today.- It is a very important appeal to the state delegations and will un doubtedly bring several hundreds addi tional teachers to -the city. Tt Ik believed that at least 2,500 dele gates will attend and probably upwards of 5,000. Last year naraiy buu register ed. Superintendent Fairchild is puttins forth all his efforts to make this meet ing the greatest in the history of the state. The letter explains tne accoui modations- the features of the meet incs and the orosnects of the work. It is excellent information for the teach ers of Kansas. The letter is as follows: "To the Boards of Education and Su perintendents: "Gentlemen On September 13 I sent you a letter setting forth the fact that the State Teachers' association wi'l meet this year at Topeka, Thursday and Friday, November 4 and 5, and urgently requesting that your schools be permitted to close for these two days in order that the teachers might attend this association. It was further urged that no reduction of salary be made on account of such attendance. "You will recall that in that letter a statement was made as to what the State association is; its purpose; how it is supported; what it has done, and what an earlier meeting means. "This letter is written to you at this time to call your attention again to the importance of this meeting and to exnress the hone that you have already granted permission to the teachers of your- schools to awer.a. jeiiers are daily coming to this office stating that boards of 'education have Unanimously agreed by resolution to close their schools two days in order that the teachers' may attend the association, and in every anstance it is also noted that no reduction in salary is to be made on account of their absence. From present indications there Is every rea son to believe that the forty-seventh session of the State Teachers' Associa tion will be many hundred per cent larger than at any time heretofore in its history. ."If you have not already arranged for your teachers to come, permit me to earnestly urge that you take favor able action at. -once, and that in do imr sn von uree every one of your I teachers to be present at the Topeka meeting.

Very respectfully yours, "E. T. FAIRCHILD." TALKED TO THE CLUB. J. B. Dignam of Kansas City Addressed Ad Club Today. A well attended meeting of the To peka Advertising club was held this noon at which J. B. Dignam of Kan sas City, who is connected with the Hand-Knox Advertising company of New York, Chicago and Kansas City was the speaker. Mr. Dignam's remarks were brief but to the point and brimful of hu mor. The subject chosen was Abra ham Lincoln as an ad writer. His in troductory remarks which related for the most part to after dinner speaking were the cause of much merriment among the members of the club. "This subject of Abraham Lincoln as an ad writer is an old one with me, but I am going to go from the rear forwards." said Mr. Dignam. "Lincoln was the expert ad man of a half cen tury ago. He was the first of his time. His speech as a lawyer stamped him as being an advertising man. Lincoln knew less law but he understood men. Do you think that if Lincoln lived to day he would have been a school teacher? Not if Ivory soap would have seen him. "Would he have studied law? Not while there was a mill grinding out packages of breakfast food. "Would he have been elected presi dent of the United States? Not while the gold dust twins are-at work. "When he took his pen In hand you would know that he would make him self understood in a few words. "On January 24, 1864, when he wrote to General Hooker the first paragraph read: 'I have this day placed you at the head of the army of the Potomac That did the work was plain, precise and direct. "He always had something to write about, and generally wrote that some thing in the first paragraph. "Do you think he would have classi fied as fresh, eggs that had shivered themselves to death in cold storage for months? Not he. "Good advertising is plain, simple, direct talk, to the point, and telling Just what is for sale and having the goods to meet that advertising, just as advertised". "That was the Abraham Lincoln way the best way." The entertainment and advertising committee met to discuss plans for en tertaining the members of the' State Teachers' association who meet in To peka on November 4 and 5. Three or four members of the mu nicipal legislation committee met to talk. over, plans for the continuance of the campaign favoring the commission plan of. city rule. It was' decided "to encourage small meetings. FIVE BELOW FREEZING. Lowest Temperature on This Date for Twenty-Three Years. Backed by a temperature of 27 five degrees below freezing the first killing frost of the season dropped in last night, and put the undoubted finish on all late flowers, weeds and leaves. About an eighth of an inch of ice formed on exposed water tubs. The minimum of 27 early this morn ing was the lowest since March 17 of this year, and with one exception, the lowest temperature on this date in 23 years. At 10 o'clock last night the temperature dropped below 32, freez ing, and remained below until after 8 o'clock this morning. A stiff north west wind added greatly to the hilarity of the occasion, and induced many procrastinators to shake the moth balls from their last year's overcoats. "Generally fair; warmer tomorrow," is the forecast. Another freeze is pre dicted for tonight, to be followed by moderation of temperature and con tinued fair weather. This afternoon the wind blows 25 miles an hour from the west. The hourly temperatures: 7 o'clock 28 11 o'clock 40 12 o'clock.. .......41 '8 o'clock 31 9 o'clock ..34 10 o'clock.. 36 1 o'clock 43 2 o'clock ..44 ROCKEFELLER IN IT.

Now Gathering Together Facts and Figures. OX OIL INSPECTION. Curtis Will Likely Make Many liisclosures. Stubbs Distributing Statements Abroad. Senator Curtis will answer the last statement made by Governor Stubbs. He spent the morning at the state house, pouring over some of the telltale black and white records and as a re sult he will compose, in the atmosphere of his quiet and shaded den on Topeka avenue, one of the prettiest pieces of literature ever turned out to the citi zens of Kansas. Senator Curtis has been very modest and brief in his statements thus far he has done away with glittering gen eralities and has made certain well known signs upon the sands of the po litical sea. He has simply allowed the clouds of his approaching storm to hover around the horizon, become streaked with gray and appear at even ing as a portent for ships setting out to sea. For three long days these clouds hav been gathering together down below the horizon of public eye and the low rumblings of the approaching storm have been felt in the air. In other words. Senator Curtis will issue a statement within the next few days that will make many a "square dealer" leave the ship, grab the life savers. Jump into their boats and yell for oars:. Senator Curtis agreed this morning that the statement given out by Gov -ernor Stubbs last night was-a beautiful piece of composition and took up a nice amount of space. "I have not at tempted to pick anything out of th- letter to use as food for thought," said the senator, "but I will save it In case I do find something in it bearing on the subject. I have noticed that these o called generalities are becoming more common, and that while the people over the state are asking for facts and figures." The senator stated this morning that Governor Stubbs was very profuse In his statements. .It is a well known fact that all of the statements are mailed out of the governor's office to the newspapers over the state when they are dictated. One Kansas editor has it figured out this way: "The beloved arovernor is sendinar out circulars about the Increased taxa tion, so Innocently -stirred up by Sena tor Curtis. Two series have arrived at this office. Each one costs 2 cents postage. Does he send one to each newspaper? There are to say 500 pa pers in the 105 counties of Kansax. They must. go to some others, say 500 more. That means a thousand, and the postage is $20." It is a well known fact that Senator Curtis will spend considerable time on the oil inspector business. The fact that J. W. .Ralston, the oil inspector who was appointed in this position by the governor because the administra tion had failed to provide him with a Job on the state house elevator, has started things along the oil inspection line. Ralston has told a number of the officials in the state house that his job was the best ever invented, that he had. nothing to do whatever but pre pare his pay check voucher and he could spend most of his time at home. Senator Curtis now has it figured out that the state oil inspection business has fallen off $590.43 for the last three months corresponding with the three months last year. Taking all the term into consideration it means that the state has lost over $2,000 on the new arrangement. Formerly under the old laws while the so called "machine" was In rule there were traveling oil inspectors and miniature headquarters where the reports were made. These who worked on the commission basis only claimed 25 per cent of the fees. The rest of them worked on a salary of $75 per month with traveling ex penses. Under the law at the present time they claim 50 per cent of the fees to gether with the expenses and there are many more local men than ever employed before In the state. As a result of this holding of half the fees the state has lost $590 during the last three months and the prospects tor more are bright on account of the fact that there are many more months under the old law. In speaking of the hot language that the governor has been throwing at the senator. Senator Curtis said: "If the governor keeps on he will be as vulgar In the newspapers as he is In his office." Then he filled his pockets full of facts and figures, pulled on his over coat, gave one of those broad "Curtis grins" and sauntered down the lobby. The senator has a good many points hidden in his sleeve and the flag of truce will wear out with the weather before he puts forth the requested "apology ROOSEVELT TROPHIES.

Sixty-four cases and every one big and bound with iron bands and filled with all that remains of lions, elephants, hippopotami, monk eys and other beasts which would still be roaming the wilds of Africa but for the invasion there by ex-President Roosevelt, arrived in Brooklyn yester day.

PClce 123 Kansas Avenue. Topeka. Kaa. No matter which way the contest for the world's championship terminates. Kansas will get a good deal of glory out of the affair. Many of the promi pent athletes now starring in this great l baseball struggle, are Kansans, some by nativity and some by adoption. Most prominent among the galaxy of Kansas stars is Fred Clarke, the in trepid leader of the Pirates, who has been a successful manager ever since taking the helm of the Pittsburg team. Clarke gets his winter mall at Akron, a small settlement !n the neighborhood of Winfleld, where he owns a good stzed ranch. Clarke has a fine ranch, owns an automobile, has his stables filled with choice stock, all of which give him plenty of diversion after the cares o a baseball season are laid aside. Another prominent. Pirate who dis tinguished himself by twirling his team to victory in the first game the eeries is a former Kansan. Charles "Babe" Adams, once pitched in Pitts burg, and his home was in that county for many years. He later went to Den ver where he made good as a member of the Grizzlies pitching staff. Later he went to Louisville and made good there. Last fall he went to Pittsburg and has made a great record this sea son, so great in fact that Manager Clarke had enough faith in his ability to stick him In the first game a Judg ment which was fullv Justified. Bobby' Byrne, the young and little third baseman who heads the Pirates batting order, was once a Kansan. Byrne lived at Pittsburg before he started out in the baseball business. He started his career at Fort Scott, later eoinsr to Springfield. While with these teams he played in Topeka frequently :but rarelv attracted any notice. in j!906 he went to the Shreveport team, i then In the Southern League, ond fin- ally attracted the attention of Stanley Roblson Ot tne St. .UOUis tarainmo. Byrne made good with the Cardinals and slaved there until this summer when he figured in the trade with Pitts burg, by which Jap Barbeau am atnrke went to St. Louis. Another member of the Pittsburg team who is a native Kansan. is Ches ter Milton Brandom. who used to live in Pittsburg. Brandom Is known all over the big league circles for his loud dressing. Brandom made a good record with the Pittsburg team in the old O A K. league and later made a great record at Kansas City, which team proved his stepping stone to a major league career. Turning to the Detroit team there can be found two Kansans who are working with the Tigers. Foremost of the two is Edgar Willett, known in these parts as "Farmer" Willett, Wil lett's home Is at Peck. Kansas, wher ever that Is. Jack Holland located mm in a livery stable In Caldwell cne day about four years ago, and took him up to Wichita, where he made good right from the start. Willetfs lon5 ....i. i. cnxj onrl a. auick sharo curve. He stayed with Wichita the tail end of the :905 season ana was mere 6" fr,t- nwViile in 1906, but went to De- tT-nif towards the close of the season. In 1907 he was kept In cold storage most of the time, but he demonstrated his worth last season when he ranked among the first ten American League twirlers and this season he is keeping up his record. nenrn Ene-sr. who hailed originally from Leavenworth, is another Kansas youngster, who is recognized as one of the coming southpaws of the Detroit club. Speer pitcnea nis nrst v"ic sional ball for Springfield in 1904, but went to Leavenworth In 1906.

MARY'S DEFEATED CAMPBELL Backfield With Forward Passes Won Victory, 11 to O. St. Marys, Kan., Oct. 12. St. Mary's college defeated the Campbell college team nr Holton here yesterday by a score of 11 to 0. While the locals show d exeentional form at most times dur lng the game they fumbled repeatedly and the visitors were always there to take advantage of any and all of the Catholic's misplays. The feature of the game was the fast playing of the locals back field and the accuracy witn which they got off several forward passes. Byrnes and Mooney for the Catholics were strong on defense.

I Jfc kA r- r MANAGES JENNINGS AND TWO STAB PLAYERS 0 THE THREE TIME CHAMPION DETROIT TIGERS. Althongh Hughey Jennings to not given to prophesying or boasting,, he declared two weeks before the close ot the American league season that his Detroit Tigers would have no trouble in winning their third successive penuant Jennings said he would approach the final garn.es of the league race with plenty of reserve force, and this was amply borne out by the excellent form the team showed at the close' of the season. Jennings also Is responsible for the general belief that the Detroits stand a better show against the Pittsburgs for the world's championship than they were able to realize last season when they clashed with Chance's Cubs. Every well posted fan gives the Tigers full credit for their splendid record throughout the season, the brilliant work of their closest rivals, the Phil adelphia Athletics, only adding luster to Detroit's victory, c. harbor, scored a clean knock down in his fourth round bout with Champion Jack Johnson. Coming out of a clinch m the last round, the sailor swung a. right overhand chop which took John son flush on the chin. The champion w-ent down flat on his back and when he recovered his feet he was so dazed that his manager cut the round short. GREEN A MANAGER?, Veteran Outfielder Offered Arkansas City Team.

Fennell Struck in Hip and May Net Recover. ,1 Shell Exploded as the Gun Was Fired. Junction City. Kan.. Oct. 12. Two men were killed and five seriously in jured on the Fort Riley military reservation Monday afternoon by the I explosion of a four and seven-eighths j field piece during the artillery tests now under way. The cause of the explosion is not known, but it is thought to have been due to a defect in the gun, which is one of those brought here for the tests which began last week. This was the eighth day of the firing, which is being directed at a redoubt built during the summer months for the purpose. The men killed were Sergeant Smith and Private Daniels Of Battery A, Sixth field artillery. The injured are Lieutenant Ralph M. Pennell of the Sixth field artillery, a signal corps private and a private of Battery A. who manned the gun and two others. Lieutenant Pennell is the most seriously injured and he may rot re cover. He was struck on the hip by a piece or the cannon. The gun was I wrecked ana otner memoers or tne battery who were standing near were hit by the flying pieces. At T7,t piiov it won oaiH the ii., a I uluoc 'JL iuoivii tive shell. An investigation is Deing held and will be sent at once to the war department in Washington. The five men injured are in the post hos- pital and the wounds of two of them are said to be dangerous. The battery, in charge or captain Birnie. went to the field in the af ternoon and took a position 7,000 vards awav from the redoubt. The 4.7 inch gun had been used several davs in the field test and twenty eight rounds had been fired. The twenty-ninth shell was placed in the run and the shot was fired.

Is the Issue In Panama Libel Case, the Court Says. Indianapolis, Oct. 12. Judge A. B. Anderson of the United States district court, after listening to arguments in the Panama libel case, made it plain that his decision Would be rendered largely on the question of "intent." "What is the guilty intent to be shown on the part of these defend ants?" the court asked Stuart McNa- mara, special attorney of the depart ment of justice in charge of the pro ceedings. The judge went on to ex plain that he doubted that it could be shown that the defendants had been guilty of malicious forethought to libel rormer President Roosevelt, Charles P. Taft, William Nelson Cromwell, President Taft, J. P. Morgan, Douglas Robinson and others. "The whole Panama canal project is a great political project, said the court, "and there has been and is much honest expression of opinion as to the advisability of having chosen the Panama route in preference to the Nicaragua route, and now since the cost of building the canal is so much larger than at first estimated, as to whether or not the United States should own any Atlantic-Pacific canal. "The press has a public duty to per form and in political discussions it seems to me that-the conception of libel should be greatly different from the conception that should apply to a case of libe! on a person's private character. I am not seeking to preju dice the case at this time; I am only seeking for light on the question here as to whether criminal libel may be possible in this matter. Criminal libel is a crime against society." HIS TRIP AN OVATION. Dr. Cook Is Greeted by Crowds While Crossing Michigan. Detroit. Oct. 12. Dr. Frederick A.

Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 12. Ex-Con gressman J. D. Bowersock has given out the following statement: "I believe that a large percentage of the money forced from the people by I taxation is unwisely and injudiciously I expended. That more money than 13 I needed is appropriated. That taxes are I higher than necessary. That sooner or later there will come a reckoning, at which time something more than 'state wide primaries,' 'monopoly Insurance laws" and 'bank guaranty' will be re quired from those who legislate for us and those who administer the laws. "When dark clouds gather and a sen I ous storm is threatenintr. the wise sail I or takes in sail before the wind wrecks the ship. For years the press and the neonle of Kansas have been sending statements broadcast relating to the marvelous development of Kansas and her irreat nrosDeritv as a state. Much of this is well founded, but it is always well, and in many cases necessary, to take a careful Inventory. "What is true and right in private business applies or should apply in public affairs. Notwithstanding our boasted prosperity I notice that the Topeka Capital of August 12, 1909, con tains upward of twenty-five columns i aescriDing property in arrears ior uu- oescribing property in arrears for tax ation and which miflrht ba sold for taxe: ation and which might be sold for taxes m September of this vear in Shawnee COunty. "There is a growing feeling that we are governed too much; that the army of officeholders has too many reCruits. and that the cry of this army ts like that of the horse leech, always for more; that the people who pay the taxes do not get 'value received;' that those who collect and disburse the tax money for the public are not actuated by motives of business econ omy; that there ought to be a fixed reasonable limit beyond which taxa tion, public debt and expenditures may not go. and this 'growing feeling" Hnwn hv nr -t thef will not down by cries of 'stop thief, 'you're another' or 'same old game' by 'same old crowd.'

State Board of Health to Inves tigate at Once. If a person should make a tour of the towns of Kansas and compare the birth rate with the death rate, accord- ing to municipal statistics, he would be surprised and alarmed to know that in this state the death rate is much higher and the apparent existence of race suicide is prevalent. But the arood ueonl r,f k-ooo not to blame. In truth the birth rate is much higher than the death rate and this fact is only known through other sources than through the records Kept by city physicians.

Some of the big1 physicians of the country have said that so low a valua tion has been placed upon the babies in mis country that it is not considered necessary to have ah accurate registra tion of their births.' Other countries nave necessary laws and they are obeyed to the letter. America is grad ually dropping the law and not until the last conference of the Prevention of Infant Mortality did the nation wake up to the fact that the death rate was falling far below the average. In Kansas conditions are not only representative but even worse than other states. The board of health under the careful supervision of Dr. Crumbine will revise, the old cobweb laws and all-physicians who fail to re port the births deaths and infectious diseases will be brought before the courts and tried. 'Complaints of the actions of the-physicians are coming into-the board of-Health from'almost every city and town in the state. The law provides for the reports and fixes a penalty for not makinsr them. In Wichita the state board of health has placed the matter in the hands of the county attorney and ordered him to start prosecutions at once. The Topeka city authorities have tried to reform the physicians for some time and they have even gone so far as them in the faces of the doctors through the newspapers. For a time the birth rate increased at a pleasing rate it looKea as tnough the town had taken a sudden growth and then when the sentiment died down the birth rate records lowered and soon were at market value.

THE SOUTH SIDE DIKE. Viewers appointed to Investigate the proposition of constructing a dike on the south side, of the Kaw river to protect the lowlands of that sec tion of the city from the ravages of j floods, have reported that the cost of this work will total up to $127,115. If the protection that such a dike would afford would be adequate, the and also meet their business competi tors on a most unfair basis. When the suit was first brought the Cudahys yelled persecution and de clared that Mr. Bone had made a grlevlous mistake In the premises. They brought all sorts of influence to bear at Washington to have the at torney general's office call Mr. Bone and his suit off.

If is keeps on growing the contro versy over the space in the new state Memorial hall to be erected will be come quite as warm as the one which Is being waged over the discovery of the North Pole. President Taft has found that being a Hg man, physically, has its disadvan tages. He got his clothes soaking wet the other day and had to go to bed while they were drying. No one in the party could lend him a suit that would come near filling the bill. A temperance and prohibition lec turer is engaged in an effort to drive rum out of Wall street. If he suc ceeds the chances are that there will be considerably les3 reckless finan ciering In that locality. But the prob abilities are not great that his mis sion will be a successful one October 23 is the last day on which voters can register to participate in the special election to decide the ques tion as to whether or not Topeka shall have a commission form of gov ernment. Mr. Voter: The day after October 23 will be too late for you to discharge an Incumbent civic duty. for this public improvement, this necessity, would be making the best possible kind of an Investment. As has been stated by the men who looked Into this matter and pre pared the estimate of the expense It will Involve, the damage to property resulting from a flood like that of 1903 would more than pay the cost of constructing the proposed dike. There is no telling when such an other flood is coming along. In fact, similar floods might follow each other with distressing regularity. If a $127,000 dike would prevent mem from doing any damage to the south side of the city. It would save the property owners there its cost three or four times. Perhaps, though, no such flood will come along: again. But still, it is always well to he prepared for any such emergencies. Look at the experience of Galves ton. That city was almost wiped on the face of the map by a tidal wave a few years ago. When the people living in it got their breath the pro gressives advocated the building of a huge sea wall around the town. Other citizens, the "conservative" and par simonlous class, objected to the ex- nens involved. They argued that another such tidal wave had never struck Galveston before and the chances were that none would come nlnner a train so the money put in a sea wall would really be wasted. The progressives won out and the sea wall was built at a cost of about $4, 000,000. What happened? It might almost be satd that before the mortar on this great wall was dry another tidal wave did come alone. It was larger than the one which almost destroyed the city. It struck the wall and was forced back into the sea-without do ing anything more than trifling dam are. Was the $4,000,000 put into that wall spent in vain? Well, hardly The excellent results achieved through th municipal forehanded- Bone and the result is that Cudahy company has been forced to pay to the government in fines and back rev enue the large sum of $97,777.50. It was liable to a maximum fine of near ly $700,000. But the penalty which has been imposed upon it and which it will pay without further recourse in the courts Is a satisfactory one. There Is no need of rubbing it In, even on corporations. In all probability the moral effect of this successful throttling of unfair and dishonest corporate methods by Mr. Bone will be materially larger than the pecuniary return which the government will receive. It ought to teach corporations the lesson that the day when they can impose upon the federal government and the people is fast drawing to a close. That time will be hurried along when federal prose cuting officers all over the country are as insistent in discharging the full du ties of their office as Mr. Bone has been, not only in this case but in all others which have been called to his attention. Mr. Bone's personal vic tory in this Cudahy case is a large one and it naturally reflects to the credit of Kansas, as he is typical of the spirit which is making this state such a desirable commonwealth as it Is, with a chip on its shoulder all the time for flght for fair and square deal ing among corporations as well as men. 1 JOURNAL ENTRIES Generally, the pay of "genius is any thing but commensurate.

Evidently the time is ripe for the plucking of the Investing public who were urgently advised some time ago to buy stocks and bonds when their prices were much lower. Chicago holds another unfortunate record. During the past three months an average of eleven persons have been Injured daily and one person killed every other day by the street cars in that city. This makes the cas ualties on the big steam railroad sys tems of the country take on a rather Insignificant aspect. There is good reason for congratu lations all around over the selection of Mr. Scott Hopkins for the presi dency of the Commercial lub and his acceptance of the onerous duties it Imposes on a man. That he will con tinue the good work of the retiring president, W. W. Mills, can be taken as a foregone conclusion. William Randolph Hearst is a fickle fellow. Not so long ago he announced emphatically that he would never again be a candidate for public office. Now he has accepted a nomination to run as an independent candidate for the mayoralty of New Tork city. It Is almost needless to cay that he will be an also ran, as usual. After the Jolt given by the supreme court to the jointests of Pittsburg and to" the? municipal authorities of that town who continued to connive at a violation of the prohibitory law after they had been enjoined by the same court, it will appear that most folks should arrive at' the conclusion that prohibition is not to be trifled with in Kansas these days. Not the least Interesting feature of the candidacy of Mr. Hearst for mayor of New Tork is the fact that he has had to organize another political party to. -carry on his campaign. It will be called the Civic Alliance. His old New York Independence league which tras the backbone of his National In pendent party was gobbled up this year by the voracious Tammany Hall. UNITED STATES SENATORS. "It is evident that our forefathers acted with great foresight and sagacity when they insured state equality In the senate, but it is equally plain that the opponents of the election of United States senators by the people are at fault when they insist that the adop tion of the new method would pervert the constitution," writes Henry Litch field West In the October Forum. "Pop ular election of senators may not be wise, but It certainly would not be at variance with the vital principle on which the senate rests. There would still be only two senators from each state. The foundation of our national structure would not be disturbed. At present, the people elect the legisla tures and the latter choose the sena tors. As proposed, the power now dele gated to the members of the legislatures would be exercised directly by the vot ers. If, in the very beginning 01 our government, there had been felt the confidence in the people which now ex ists, there is little reason to doubt that popular election of senators would have been authorized by the constitution. At that time, however, it was felt that suffrage was largely an experiment. The right of the ballot was restricted, even in the matter of voting for representa tives, and our' forefathers seemed to feel that perhaps it would be well to remove at least one branch of the na tional legislature to an appreciable de gree from the people. In their view, this was the wise and conservative action. 'The senate,' according to a remark at tributed to George Washington, 'is the saucer in which the hot tea of the house is poured to cool.' It was the same thought which provided for the choice of a president by members of an elec toral college. We know that todav the people actually, although indirectly, vote for their candidate for president. The electoral college is now a shadow and not a substance. Our forefathers, however, intended it to be a serious affair. They constructed it as a safe guard against popular clamor, enthusi asm, passion and prejudice. They pro vided for the election of United States senators by legislatures for identically the same reason." CUDAHYS FORCED TO PAY. That the big corporations which are pursued from time to time by the fed eral authorities for violations of law are not always able to get hold of a pole that is long enough to knock down the persimmons is instanced by the successful termination of the suits instituted by Harry J. Bone, the Unit ed States district attorney for this ju risdiction, against the Cudahy Packing company. Through the efforts of Mr. Bone this company was Indicted on 695 counts for selling colored oleo margarine under labels which declar ed it to be uncolored stuff. On the latter article there is a federal inter nal tax of a quarter of a cent a pound while on the colored substitute for butter there is a tax of ten cents a pound. Under these circumstances it can be seen readily how the Cudahy company was able to defraud the gov ernment out of large sums of money con A handsome farmer's daughter" is reported to have gone to Salina to secure help tor tne rarm. xne Abilene Reflector would like to know why the "handsome farmer" did not go himself.

And the Salina Journal thinks that Miss Carlson probably had a delinquent subscriber on her mind when she penned those words. That gentleman, named Bone- brake, who was run over by an auto mobile at Emporia, has provided a lot of material for the jokesmiths of the Kansas press. They've broken every bone in his body and ought to chip in now and pay his hospital bills. "Girls, this is for you," says a Sixth rilntrlrt editor.

Prouty. and it again worked for a free state in printing the Freeman's Champion at Prairie City. The Lecompton New Era, printed by Rev Weaver, got it in the latter '60s and put it to good use. A man named Wood, who published the Chase Coun ty Banner, was its next owner and user, at Cottonwood Falls The Cowley County Censor then purchased it. This was its last ownership in Kansas. A Sedalia, Mo., man bought it and took it out of the state. Osborne Farmer. FROM OTHER PENS NO CONSCRIPTION." Lieutenant Generaj'Adna R. Cha'ftee, of the United States army, retired, startled the military authorities of the country by a speech he made before the national guard convention at Los An geles last week. He was quoted as ad vocating conscription for army train ing, so that a force of 500,000 drilled men would be available for military service in an emergency. When these remarks were brought to the attention of Secretary Dickinson that official diplomatically said that he did not tmnK ne ought to be called on to ex press an opinion every time anyone made a speech. That might be taken as an indication that the head of the war department does not think It worth while to consider' 'General Chaffee's proposition very seriously.

When a man becomes a crank he must expect life to be a grind. It is hard for a woman to conceal her faults in a decollete gown. Love frequently starves to death trying to see how little it can live on. When a fellow with a short arm becomes engaged to a girl with a big waist Cupid laughs in his sleeve. It is probably the uncertainty of the future state that prompts women to cry at funerals and weddings.

It is only natural that a man. looking at the matter from this standpoint should ex press the wish that those who are liv ing today might be spared to witness the triumphs of the next centurv. or anv period corresponding to that which has wrougnt such tremendous revolutions In the world's affairs. In declaring that the world is Just emerging from what he calls tha "dog" age, Mr. Edison does himself and his fellow-workers in the great laboratory of nature an injustice.

Kansas City Journal. WORKING CAPITAL NEEDED. Reclamation and irrigation, for which President Taft in his Spokane speech urged an issue of $10,000,000 of bonds, has reached the point where it has exhausted all its working capital. When the Hansbrough irrigation act was passed, in 1902, after President Roosevelt's message of the December before, it provided that the receipts from public lands in a group of arid states should be used for irrigation in those states. This was expected to give $2,500,000 a year, or $25,000,000 in ten years. The money spent on ir rigation was to be repaid by the sale of the irrigated lands, and the sums thus paid were to be credited to the reclamation fund for irrigation. In six years $42,000,000 has been available, and this has been absorbed in irrigation projects etill under way. What has taken place is what is con stantly, occurring in business, when working capital is locked up because the business grows faster than the capital. Of the success of the original plan in gaining new capital for recla mation yearly by the sale of lands, there is no question whatever. What Is needed now is more capital.

A real contribution to the civil war history of this nation appears in the October American Magazine. It Is con tained in a remarkable interview witn the son of John Brown, the great aboli tionist.

I think, with four babies around her knees, when my father told her and us that he would never again engage In any business that he could not leave on two weeks' no tice. He meant to make as much money as he could, to educate his children, and to provide for his wife and helpless little ones. It might be years before opportunity offered to strike the blow, but he meant to prepare for it, and when the 'call' came, his wire was to mnoiflpr herself a widow, his children committed to the care of Him who fed the ravens.

As we married, our wives and husbands were converted. There was a Brown family conspiracy that exist ed unsuspected for 21 years, to break the power of slavery. I believe it was Bronson Alcott who said that, in all history. knew of only one other in stance of such a family covenant, and that was with Mahomet." Japanese Language Hard. Army officers who are thinking of taking up the study of Japanese should pause before they attempt the task and ask themselves whether they have a peculiarly strong linguistic aptitude. Even the Japanese find the language vor. riiffimilt. Anelo-Saxons who growl about the difficulties of our spelling and favor the simplified system would never live if they had to undergo what the subject of the mikado suffers in the matter of language. It takes a Japanese child seven years to learn the essential parts of the al phabet. One must be familiar with 214 signs which serve the same purposes as initial letters in English diction aries. Then, after one was tracked down, in one of these 214 signs, some part 01 tne cnaracter lur iucu ne 1 ahnnt to make a search, he still has a veritable Darkest Africa ahead of him The pompous first personal pronoun is avoided whenever it is possible in speaking Japanese. If It must be used It is introduced casually, but generally the abstract noun "selfishness" serves in its stead. For example, a Japanese would not say "I don't drink wine," but "Wine don't drink:" or. if this is not clear enough, "Selfishness wine don't drink." Reference to one's possessions must be deprecatory. Thus, if a man wishes to point out his own residence, he says, "That miserable house," which, of course, could refer to no other than his own. On the other hand, "That beautiful house" would easily identify the house as beloneinsr to some one else. More over, any one who wisnes to learn Japanese must be prepared to learn two laneruaees the written and th spoken. The one differs so materially from the other that if a Japanese Is readine a book or newspaper and wishes to do so aloud, it becomes neces sary for him to translate the written words Into colloquial, to De apie to read any of the higher class Japanese newspapers lt Is necessary to master at least from 2.500 to 3,000 Ideographs.

Frank Worthing frowned as he looked up from the code at his partner,' Will iam Butler, who, with his straw hat pushed back on his rumpled fair hair, was still Insisting that he leave the of fice for the rest of the day. "Confound you, Billy, heat or no heat, August or December, a fellow tiafs going to get on In' the law simply must do some studying. Can't you get It through your thick head when I say I am not going that I mean it? Take the girls by -yourself if they are silly enough to like your company. Can't see what anything bigger than a child sees in a vaudeville park, anyhow. Now, Billy, get out of here, do! Your everlasting grin gives me a temperature and the heat is bad enough this after- roon as it Is." Butler surveyed his frieud with elab orate pity. "Poor boy!" he commented ruminatingly, "he hasn't been himself since he won the big case last month. Turns down his friends, flocks by him self. Must have, overworked or else he's in love! Must be love. Perhaps the fair Alice will capitulate, after all. She ought to after you saved her for tune from a greedy stepmother. Go after it, son. Well, by-by. Me to Grace and Marietta and the despised park." Alice Lawton indeed! thought Worth ing. Well, that idea was better in Butler's shallow pate than the real truth, namely, that Marietta's sudden fondness for his partner was eating his heart out. It was always Marietta and Bill Butler everywhere, and he used to think it was Grace for whom Billy longed. Worthing had known no Inner peace since Marietta had come last win ter to live with her cousin, Grace Hunt er. From the first meeting the girl's dark, little, serious face, sweet eyes, gay laughter had not left his conscious ness. And she had certainly seemed to like him. even to prefer him. to let him monopolize her somewhat, and even to be demurely glad when they were left alone together. Gloomingly reflecting, he began to wonder what had changed her. June had been a Joytime. If he had spoken then all might have been well, but that LawtOn inheritance case came to mm. He recognized the professional oppor tunity, worked on it like a slave, day and night, all through July, and won feeling that he had now a little better basis for offering his heart to the girl he loved. He was also delighted be cause he had done a service to Alice, his lifelong friend. But what had changed Marietta? Finding himself unable to study. Worthing "phoned for his car and closed the office. He would go for Alice and take her for a spin and have dinner at the golf club and then ride again till the moon came up. 'Perhaps they might go through the park them selves and no, he would let Marietta alone! He recognized that he longed to see her. But Alice was not at home, and bit terly lonely he motored out into the country. As tne sun set, ana tne cool of evening came on, his troubled heart grew more calm. He would reason ently they were very much engaged, and he stopped the car, the better to hold her hand, a proceeding of mucn greater importance than reaching home where he would have to let her out of his sight till the next day. Then she demanded what bad brought him to the park. It gave him the desired opening. "You," he answered with succinct promptitude. "I was going to toss Billy into the lake while I asked you what I had done or left undone that 1 should be driven out of paradise. It dawned oh me that I might have neg lected you during that Lawton case, because, you see, Alice" be felt his beloved stiffen. "I'm sure nobody ever thought of hindering your devotion to Mias Law ton, I but he shamelessly inter rupted. "But, Marietta, dearest, you surely knew lt was a legal necessity for me to see her To" "To take her alone to your office. 1 saw you, Frank! To be with her con stantly, to have time for nobody else." "Her aunt was waiting for her In my office that time. I had to be with her. It was a matter of business. You sure ly see that. Marietta? And surely you know it-la you that I lover His heart sang to think that he had been right, that she had been jealous, that she cared enough for him to be Jealous! That was the wonder. Most of all, his heart sang to know that in the moon light she lifted her face to give him a kiss of forgiveness for the offense he had never committed. He reflected that he was not the first man, prob ably, to joyfully accept pardon for what he had not done, that she was not the first woman to whom a man had vainly explained a matter of business. "Of course," she said suddenly, draw ing back to look at him, "you. know I was not jealous? She Is not the sort of girl I could be Jealous of so very unattractive!" Worthing's laughter was silent, a thing of the Inner man. Alice Lawton, his old friend, an ac cepted beauty, unattractive! But he was wise, and his disloyalty was very lover like.

Minute Hand 612 Feet Long. The longest minute hand in the world that will be the tower of the Singer building, if a plan proposed by Commander E. E. Hayden, U. S. N., in charge of the department of chrono meters and time service of the naval observatory at Washington, goes through to completion. The towering illuminated shaft caught the commander's eye on a re cent visit, and he at once conceived the idea of making the illumination mark the five minutes preceding mid night a minutes hand stretching 612 feet info the air. The plan was first broached to ship ping men the latter part of August in a circular letter by Commander Hay den. He suggested in this that by connecting with the "minute break" of the transmitting ciock at wasnington. each night the thirty-one searchlights that now make the tower a pillar of flame could be made to stop for the first second of each minute, giving an exact time signal visible to all shipping in' port.

The right kind of experience Is worth all It costs. Somehow -the majority of our habits seem to be bad ones. The patriotism of the office seeker is the greatest ever. Anything a woman won't talk about isn't worth mentioning. The drummer should not try to beat the drum to .beat the band. To a man wealth means power; to a woman the pleasure of being done or left undone, why Marietta, when he went back to her, flushed and joyous with his victory, had received him with the frozen sweetness of a dish of ice cream, and thereafter man aged never to be with him alone for a single moment. The first time he had noticed it, was once when, with Alice, whom he was taking to his office, he met her on the street Just in front of the building. Her greeting had been very cool. Worthing drew up beneath a great tree and taking a little photo of the girl from his pocket, looked at it with loving inquiry. He recalled that another time that she had been cool to him was when he was telling her how much it meant to Alice to get her legal rights, and how glad he was to have been able to help her. That was at the golf club dance, and after that she had been unable to find a dance for him. He sat thinking. Suddenly it came to him the ridiculous little key to the solution. He started the machine, headed again for the city, driving like one in a sort of happy insanity. He would- go straight to the park, find her, and see her long enough to ask her If he was right, if he had to toss Billy Into the lake to be rid of him. Of course a fellow couldn't ask a girl directly what he intended to know, but he was law yer enough to extract from her in directly all he desired. He could not wait to see her it was all so foolishly simple. It was nearly dusk when, with hope and fear mngliner in his heart. he reached the park, and impatiently ooeaieni to tne rules. and the watchful police, crawled slowly along me arives looking ror a group in which he might distinguish Marietta's slim little figure and crown of dark hair. Where in the world could they be? He stopped on a wrong clew several times, and at last went slowly to a remote corner where there was a great old-fashioned swing. It would be like that idiot Butler to take her off to chatter to her unhindered, and perhaps to swing her, for sh loved to risk her little life, and Worthing had always had a deadly fear that the chains or something might break. He had seen one such accident. Now he began to be sure Butler was not fit to look after her. His surmise had been right. He saw Grace, tall and big and blonde, standing watching that consummate idiot. Billy, as .He pushed Marietta his Marietta high and yet higher Into the air. He jumped from his car, motioning Butler, who did not see him, to stop, not daring to call lest he frighten her. He was sure the swing was not safe! He came running up facing the girl who, as she receded to be pushed forward again by Butler, saw him and gave a little cry. Out she came toward him. far out. His heart stopped as a sudden warning creak from the chains made him look up. The chain had broken. Without an Instant's hesitation he held up his arms for her and shouted, "Jump, Marietta, Jump." Sucn command, sucn convictioi. rung In his voice that the girl obeyed as if her own mind had prompted her. While a horrible frightened silence fell on the others, and some people close by came running up, she fell safely into 'his arms, where he stood holding her, telling her and the rest, telling himself, that she was not hurt. And, indeed, she had miraculously escaped without harm, for Butler ihad caught the chain so the swing could not strike her as she fell. It seemed ages to Frank Worthing before he made everybody go away, before It dawned on Butler, who was strangely willing, that he was to take Grace home, and leave him. Worth ing, to bring Marietta when and lrow he chose. She was very silent and queer, and he had felt her cling to him as he held her in his arms as if she would never leave that shelter.

From the Atchison Globe.l A good many go the Sour Way; a good many others go the Lazy Way. There is a whole lot of luck In base ball, and the club we want to see win, never has it. We were rudely shocked recently. Still, we must confess it happens a good many times during a week. Everyone occasionally wishes he had all the money represented in photo graphs given him by his friend. A bachelor has a conscience. Just the same as a married man. but he has no one to remind him of It. and lt sleeps sounder. We are so slow that by the time we decide corn will surely go higher. It has reached the high point, and be gins to go the other way. There is really no reason whv I shouldn't occasionally have my way, and the fact that I never do is what makes me mad." Drake Watson. When a farmer says a nelahbor ex pected 80 bushels of corn per acre, and really husked only 60, he takes a good deal of delight in the statement. Hope is that sentiment which con trols the mother who sees boys every where hurt, neglect, slight, and refuse to assist their parents, and still refuses to give one of her own boys away. It can seldom be said of the woman who has seen great sorrows, that she is prostrated. She can't be. for isn't mere always work to do, always seri ous situations to meet which can't be met if she is blubbering in bed? "Do you like to be In a position of authority? I don't. Every day I am compelled to decide questions, and don't like it. ine man under you never ac cepts your Judgment very good ratured ly." Parson Twine. We have had In mind, several days, a Vigorous Protest. But why make lt? No one will pay any attention to it. There are so many Vigorous Protests lately that they do not attract as much attention as a girl chewing gum. Ever notice, when a man has occa sion to give you an address, how he looks through Mhe papers in his pock ets, and the horrible condition the papers are In? All that ma n't affairs are probably conducted in the same careless war. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press.J Preceptors teach long before they learo. envied.

How his surrender to wrath affect ed his mind, and wrought such a change as to weaken his intellect was unfolded today when Hugo Zendig, told his story at the Provident asso ciation headquarters just prior to leaving Topeka for Kansas City, whence he came four days ago. When but a young man, after coming to Ihis country Zendig began work in the Colorado mines. It was there that the workmen attempted to oust him and a companion because of friction, and according to Zendig's statement he became so infuriated that since that time his nervous system has been a wreck. Although Zendig admits that his mind is weakened, he says that he is not insane, as his wife claims, and that on the other hand she is the one who is unbalanced. Both have trav eled extensively in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, and it was in England six years ago that the couple were married. Both are of Yiddish descent, and talk brokenly. According to Zendig, who is 52 years old, he formerly kept the larg est jewelry establishment in Kansas City, where he claims to have owned a place between Eleventh and Twelfth streets on Main. He says that he was in business there during twenty years previous to ten years ago when he returned to his native land, afterwards going to England whore he met his wife of 22 summers. After their return to America, the woman says that they came to Chi cago where her husband was engaged in mending umbrellas. She reluctantly stated that the police had advised them to go elsewhere, and that' they had removed to Kansas City. Zendig claims the latter place as his resi dence and carries naturalization pa pers. The couple, who were penniless, were provided for at the Provident as sociation, after which they were sup plied with tickets for Kansas City. names"thesaml Chief of Police Has Matter Brought Often to Attention. "Wonderful isn't it." said Chief R. W. Eaton today, "how many persons there are roaming about the country by the same name." He had Just opened a letter from Mrs. I. M. Gray, of Hardy, Ark., who had written to ascertain if Charles Gray, the section foreman, killed in the Santa Fe wreck, was her son from whom she had last heard a year ago. when he was in Minnesota. "We never have a big wreck or ac cident of any consequence," the de partment head continued, "but some one writes here to know if the vic tim's description fits that of a son or dear relative. "Why I have often received several letters relative to the same man," he continued, "only to find on investiga tion that the victim is none of those for whom inquiry is made. "That is the case with the last one. Gray was a married man and lived here several years. He never has been in Minnesota and could not be the Arkansas woman's son." Indiana's First Touch of Winter.

What to Do for a Cough Here is a home-made remedy that overcomes an obstinate cough quicker than any costly medicine you could buy. Any woman can easily make it in five minutes. Granulated Sugar Syrup 13 o. Pinex 2 oz.

Take a teas poonful every one, two or three hours. It tastes pleasant chil dren like It. This simple medicine is also splendid for colds, whooping cough, bronchitis, incipient con sumption, chest pains, etc. Pinex, as you probably know, is the most potent form of Nor way White Pine Compound.

It was to obtain money with which to marry a young Lawrence girl that prompted Earl Bullock, 18 years old, to rob the State bank at Eudora, near here, late yesterday, according to the local po lice. The young woman was being sought this morning, by the police to learn if she could tell of Bullock's whereabouts, but they were unable to locate her. No trace had been found of the youthful robber although a posse made up of officers and farmers has hunted him since last night. Wilson Pringle, the Lawrence officer, who was shot by Bullock last night in making his escape, is in a critical condition today and can not live. Like Dime Novel Hero. The details of the robbery read like a dime novel. Several days ago two revolvers were stolen from a second hand store here. There was some reason to believe that Bullock stole the revolvers, but the police were not inclined to believe that he was the thief because he never had been in any trouble be fore. The evidence against Bullock became stronger, however, and D. S. Woods, a deputy sheriff, was sent to arrest the boy. He found that Bul lock had gone to Eudora, eight miles east of here. When Woods reached Eudora he was told that Bullock was in the Eudora State bank. The officer went to the bank and there he found Bul lock talking with the cashier, E. E. Wilson. The officer, who knew Bul lock as a quiet young man, told him he was under arrest and turned to chat with Wilson, whom he knew. "Get into that vault." came the command from Bullock. Wilson and Woods turned at Bu'IlocK-s words and they saw the two revolvers which were taken from the Lawrence store pointed at them. "Hurry up," urged 3ullock, and a few seconds later the deputy sheriff and the cashier heard the leck of the vault click behind them. It was after banking hours in the after noon and the only men in the bank were Bullock, Woods and Wilson. After they were locked in the vault Woods and Wilson could hear Bullock stroll around the bank and pick up all the money he could find. He got $80 in stiver and nearly $800 in currency, Th.;rpbbery seemed to be an afterthought,', as there was $5,000 in the vault that he might have taken before he locked it. He left the bank, closed the door and wandered unconcernedly down the street. He crossed the river and went to Fall Leaf, two miles from here, where he caught a Union Pacific train for Lawrence, arriving there before the men were released from the vault here. Nearly two hours after Wilson and Woods were locked in the vault a boy, passing by the bank, heard their shouts for help. Another officer of the bank was notified and he let the captives out. HEAR BOTH SIDES. Objections to Commission Form of Government Answered. At a meeting of the Brotherhood of the Third Presbyterian church held last night to discuss the commission m of municipal government, the sentiment was almost altogether in favor of the new plan. He ward Page, Geo. S. Bad ders, and John Dawson spoke In favor of commission rule for Timsirj txn J. C. Alexander took the opposite side in me uiscussion. Mr. Alexander started by saying that he believed in a fair and onen rlisAiu. sion of the proposition. He considered mat up to tnis time the papers have been publishing only news favoring the idea, and that the Commercial club hs been pushing the matter. He thought the idea of having the school children write compositions on the one siH nt the proposition only was outrageous. The speaker admitted in his opening talk that he did not know a great deal about the commission plan. In his closing remarks Mr. Alexan der stated that he had received a trood deal of information through listening to the speakers advocating commission government which gave him a more fa- orable Impression of the plan, however he was still by no means a convert. He thought that the part of the law which would make it possible to re call a commissioner if he did not fill his office in a satisfactory manner was an excellent plan, and made the assertion that if such a law had been in effect a tew years ago some of the council n'tn would have been removed. He was in favor of the present form of administration, however, with but tlx councilmen, one from each ward, and thought that ward representation is much better than representation from the community at large. For this rea son in particular was he oDDOsed to the new plan. The speaker considered that the coun cilmen are at the present time under paid, and that from 12 to 15 hundred dollars a year would not be too much for their services. He believed that one of the worst things about the pres ent system is mat tne councilmen must meet at Inght, but he said that this difficulty could be remedied. The plan of the speaker was to have the tlx councilman devote half of their time to the city hall affairs. George S. Badders. secretary of the Commercial club said: "We want to give the proposition a fair discussion, and our rooms are open at any time for those who oppose the proposition to come and hold meetings. It is true that we are circulating literature fa vorable to the commission form of gov ernment, but at the same time we are ready to hc.-.r from any of the peo ple on the opposite side. I have fur nished the Y. M. C. A. and nublic schools data both for and against the piar or government. "The commissioners under the new plan have to spend all their time In Ask for Style No. 3554 if you want a shoe partic ularly suitable for young men and older men as well, who like striking elegance in their footwear.

A mechanic on a railroad has as much right to jserve as a commissioner as a business man on Kansas avenue. One of the most prominent commis sioners in the city of Des Moines is a mechanic. By the commission form of government the people can eieci any one Ihey see fit and then at a future time if so desired, can recau tna commissioner from office." H. Ward Page made the statement that out of the 40 persons present at the meeting, only three of them were opposed to the commission plan.

6 rHE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, SCIATICA CORED PROOF IS HERE This Disease Is a Form of Neuralgia and Is Cured by the Remedy That Cure Other Forms. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sci&tio nerve and the treatment shoulcl be the tame as for other forms of neuralgia. So many severe cases of sciatica hare been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that every sufferer is justified in giving (be treatment a thorough trial. Sciatica, being an inflammation of the nerve, may arise from many causes, pressure on the nerve, a fall apon the thighs, lifting heavy weights, or expo sure such as most army veterans have undergone. Mr. J. H. Shamel, of R. F. D. No. 3, Cherryvale, Kansas., who served during the Civil war. as a member of Cos. E and B, 75th. Ohio Infantry, describes his cure of soiatica by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as follows "Ever since the close of the war I had suffered more or less with sciatica but the most serious attack I had was in January, 1908.

THEY HAD THE ORDERS Had Thy Obejtd Them Bten No Wreck. Railroad Men Occupy Time of Coroner. At the coroner's inquest held today to determine the cause and fix the blame for the fatal wreck on the Santa Fe a mile north of Topeka last week, th6 evidence introduced tended to show that the engineer and conductor of the wrecked work train were responsible for the disaster through their mistaken idea of their orders. They alone had orders for the care of their train and warning regarding the freight that wrecked their train. That the orders confused them and that with the passing of one freight train they thought they had a clear track, there is no doubt, but whatever the extenuating circumstances, these two. Engineer Kiernan and Conductor Brown, alone had orders, which if properly obeyed, would have averted the wreck. The coronor's inquest was held to day in the court of Topeka and con ducted by County Attorney Schenck. Through a misinterpretation or the orders the conductor and myself are, is the frank answer of Engineer J. M. Kiernan of the work extra train 167 of whose load of laborers 16 were killed in the frightful wreck Friday, October 8, when asked point blank by the county attorney who was re sponsible for the wreck. Train Orders in Evidence. But there is a great deal of ground for that misinterpretation. Four sheets of the flimsy paper bearing the orders were handed to Conductor E. C. Brown of the ill-fated work train in the morning before the train pull ed out from Topeka to work between Meriden and Topeka from 7:30 a. m. to 6:30 p. m. as per the first order. Two of the orders. No. 7 and No. 8 are the subjects for the misunder standing which caused the wreck. Both were in the same bunch. No. 7 ordered them to protect the work train from extra west, engine No. 183 to leave Meriden at 8:45. No. 8 ordered to protect against extra east,-engine No. 183, to leave Topeka after 10:30. Therein laid the difficulty and the confusion, which troubled the conduc tor and engineer of the work train. The conductor thought there was a tviictnlro ohnnf (ho 1 R3 aaot rT" i n o n The United Doctors, as the name eineer read his orders to mean that implies, is an association of expert both 183 trains were westbound and medical specialists, who have united that order No. 8 was merely an "ex to organize a new school of medicine, ten,fion" 7 r iliauj' i w nw weal pttascu L I c v Ul l train about 9:30 and the engineer of that train was asked about his- orders. He had no order No. 8. Then when the work train had backed into North Topeka to allow the other to pass, the conductor of that train had told En gineer Kiernan that he would see what the discrepancy was. Thereafter, when nothing was heard. Kiernan in his. own mind had become satisfied that the No. 183 which had passed them at an hour between the time set for the two was the one which they had been or dered to look out for. Conductor E. C. Brown, when placed on the stand, seemed to be affected deeply by the result of his mistake and made no attempt whatever to es cape the issue. The orders as stated above had come from the Emporia dispatcher whose name he thought was Wilson, he said. "When we saw No. 183 going west we were confused," he said. "We talked to the engineer on 183 and he had no order No. 8 to aid us in determining the meaning of ours. Naturally we supposed there had been an error but could not discover it. The engineer of 183 thought the agent at Meriden might have overlooked his order." Conductor Brown, Road master J. E. Henderson, and Brakemen J. W. Hamilton and Ira Clemons were in the way car of the work train. The brakemen were in the cupola watch ing the track ahead. As they came down the incline oft the bluffs, trees shut off the view of the track around the sharp curve to the west. At a distance of a dozen car lengths from the approaching oil train, Brakeman Hamilton shouted, "For God's sake jump, she's on us," threw on the air and leaped down and out. The con ductor and roadmaster sitting in the car heard the yell and Jumped from the side door, but Brakeman Clemons was killed, unable to get out. The distance of the caboose from the ap proaching engine was two car lengths when the men jumped, is estimated by the conductor. Engineer Admits His Error. Engineer Kiernan, on the stand, ad mitted that he was at fault together with the conductor, in that they mis understood the order. But added: "When 183 westbound had been let past at Topeka and the conductor had said he would see what the mat ter with the orders was. I thought that by their passing us safely the error had been overcome." He was evidently of that opinion when the work train was backed rapidly in toward Topeka for dinner. Had the order No. 8 stated to watch for extra east engine No. 185 there might have been no mistake, though the order especially mentioned the eastbound train. The engine which drew the extra oil train was not 183 but 185. As a matter of fact the evidence now shows that the trains were ordered by the dispatcher correctly. No. 183 was to leave Meriden at 8:45 for Topeka as per order No. 7 and then return at 10:30 as per order No. 8. Still the same engine made the re turn. No. 185, a different engine, was sent 'back with the train but if the train had been watched for the result would have been safety. The No. 183 was changed to 185 when the train left Topeka for the same order No. 8 car ries that number in the hands of the same conductor who brought the train down and was returning. The same engineer, however, was not returning because the engine had been taken off. It is clearly a mistake on the part of the crew of the work train, par ticularly the conductor and engineer, who alone have the orders. Both Brown and Kiernan have been let out of the service of the Santa Fe. a new and more scientific and positive system of curing human j ailments. For centuries the world has been full of different cults and isms in medi cine; we had the old root and herb doctor with his bitter potions, the allopath with his pills and quinine in heroic doses, the homopath with his triturations and infinitesimal doses, the eclectic, the osteopath, the Chris tian Scientist; we were doctored with heat by electricity, by baths at Hot Springs, and by a multitude of men and methods. Some of the patients were cured, some died who should have been cured, some were impos sible for the ordinary person to say which method of treating disease was the best, and the physicians of the various schools were so biased that they could see good only in their own method, all others were necessarily bad. Evidently there is good in all of them, for they cured some cases, also there is bad in all, for they all fail at times and allow misery to remain or death to come where a cure should be affected. A tremendous stride for ward was made when the association of the United Doctors was formed. The founders of this association con sisted of eminent medical specialists from the various schools of practice, eclectics, homeopaths, allopaths, reg ulars and irregulars, met and agreed to drop their prejudices and form a news system of treatment that would embrace all the good points of the old methods and leave out the bad. The results of the efforts of these world-famous specialists of the va rious schools was the wonderful sys tem of treatment now used by the United Doctors. All this was not ac complished in a day or week, but has taken years of patient work by these specialists in their great institutes In the. east; homeopaths, eclectics allo paths, working side by side, each throwing away his. old ideas when he was convinced there was something better, till at last out of the old chaos and confusion came the new and 'per fect system as it is now used by the United Doctors. The cost to these specialists was great, not only In the labor of forming the new system of treatment, but also in the efforts It cost them to ignore their pride in the various schools in which they were originally educated. But their re ward has been great, for they have seen health and happiness restored to hundreds and thousands who were going to their graves In misery, pro nounced incurable by old methods. Their Topeka institute Is permanently located at 610 Kansas avenue. WANTED Saleswomen for ready-to-wear, hosiery, domestic and notion departments. Apply The Mills Dry Goods Co.

After having left Topeka less than ten days ago leaving his sick wife, and a 15 year old son, without any means of support, Richard Kutrov. a a cook in the Santa Fe hospital, now faces a charge of bigamy in St. Louis. Less than a week ago, Kutrow after having gone to St. Louis, impersonat ed himself as a German count, mar ried Mrs. Elizabeth Rusch. Later Mrs. Rusch learned of his bogus im personations, and of his former mar riage, and caused his arrest in St. Louis last night on a charge of bigamy.

Later he en gaged in business for himself, having been proprietor of the Darlington no tel. which he sold a few months ago. The relations between Kutrow ana his wife have been strained at times, and friends of the family were thor oughly conversant with his cruelty towards Mrs. Kutrow. While in the hotel business. Mrs. Kutrow was forced to work beyond her strength, and almost ever since she has been confined to a sick bed. After her hus band left home ten days ago, Mrs. Kutrow was without funds and was forced to go to work, securing em ployment in the kitchen of the Santa Fe hospital. She is now hardly able to work, but is bearing her troubles bravely and says she will work for her son, and see that he does not fol low in his father's footsteps. Kutrow is a German and is a rather pompous looking man. one who could easily pass for a count. He is a good dresser, and with his general bearing he can easily play the part. Nothing known of Mrs. Rusch here. Mrs. Kutrow has heard nothing from her husband since he left, but evinced no surprise this morning when she was in formed that her husband had "tnrown her down" for a "soul-mate." She seemed perfectly resigned to her fate and said that she thought her husband had left some bu iiness matters which settled up might bring her a little money.

The Globe Democrat gives the fol lowing details of the arrest: The romance or Mrs. miizaDetn Rusch. of No. 4701 Nebraska avenue, woh last week married Richard Kut row, under the impression ne was a German count, was rudely shattered yesterday when her "husband" was arrested and held for investigation. Kutrow and Mrs. Rusch were mar ried by Justice Spies. Friday. and were preparing to make a trip to Germany, where Kutrow declared he was a large landowner and the heir to a fortune. Mrs. Rusch learned of the alleged de ception played upon her Sunday night, when she visited Mrs. Augusta Heuer, of No. 3801 Texas avenue. Mrs. Heuer told her friend he had a wife, named Emma, living in Topeka, Kan. In company with her relatives Mrs. Rusch yesterday visited the Wyoming street police station and later the pros ecuting attorney's office, where a war rant, was sworn to. charging Kutrow with bigamy. Kutrow was arrested a few hours later and lodged in a celL Mrs. Rusch's romance was almost as startling in its rapidity as in its de nouement. Last Friday she was stand ing In front of Tony Faust's restaurant watching the parade, and when some one stepped upon her foot she cried out her pain in German. Kutrow, well groomed and affable, turned at the sound of her voice, and, introducing himself, invited her to dinner, telling her he was a stranger and very lonesome. Appealed to by his evident homesickness for her own Fatherland, she accepted, and the two went into Faust's. Kutrow was a speed maniac in his wooing, and before dessert, had pro posed and been accepted. In the meantime, he had confided to Mrs. Rusch, she says, that he was a Ger man count and the heir to a fortune, which would be his when he married. He informed her that, although the will had been in existence many years, he was unable to fulfill its matrimonial proviso because he had not found any woman upon whom he felt he could be stow his hand and heart and noble cor onet. The count wished to return to Ger many at once. Mrs. Rusch demurred at so quick a wedding, but later ac quiesced to having the ceremony per formed the next day, and they were married by a justice of the peace. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. NORTH SIDE NEWS Kuehne Preserving Worts Will ilmain Permanently. Three Propositions te Locate in K. C. Rejected. HAH OTHER OFFERS. These Alse Were Kef used To peka the Hest Place. President's Decision Partly Due to Sympathy Shown. The Kuehne Preserving works will not be taken from Topeka. Work of rebuilding the plant will begin in a few days and it will probably be run ning in full blast by Christmas. This is according to a statement made this morning by Otto Kuehne, sr., presi dent of the concern, when asked about a report that he was consider ing propositions to move elsewhere. Mr. Kuehne spent yesterday in Kan sas City. He admitted that three propositions to locate there had been made him. However, he says he re fused to consider any of them and in tends to remain in Topeka perman ently. His decision, he states, is partly due to the sympathy and prac tical offers of aid extended to him at the time of the fire which destroyed the plant. "It is true that propositions have been made me by Kansas City parties and Commercial clubs and private en terprises in other towns to locate in the places referred to, but I will stay in Topeka," said Mr. Kuehne to a State Journal reporter this morning. "I have too much at stake here to leave. I have so much property, In cluding my Oakland farm that I think I had better remain here per manently and build up my business again. I am partly influenced in this decision by the sympathy and practi cal help extended 1$3 me at the time of the fire. I said as much to the par ties at Kansas City yesterday, when I was made three propositions to lo cate there. I refused all of them. I told all concerned that I would not consider any propositions made me to leave Topeka. It is my home. I have always done good business here and I expect to do better. In spite of being hampered by the fire we are shipping a car load of goods a day. Work on rebuilding our plant will be gin as soon as the debris is removed. This will be done In a few days. We expect to be running in full blast by Christmas. "From time to time before the building burned.

This is the question that naturally arises when it is considered the in difference with which the proposition to ask John Kellar, the Ohio oil man, to address the club on the develop ment of the oil fields there was re garded. It is true that Mr. Kellar, who has been visiting his uncle, A. L. Brooks, of Grantvllle, has been in western Kansas the past week and re turned yesterday, but legt again this morning for a trip through Oklahoma. He expects to return to Ohio without stopping here. However, as far as can be learned there was no Invita tion sent him through Mr. Brooks, or otherwise, to tell the Civic club about the oil fields and their marvelous de velopment. As yet no arrangements have been made for this proposition at some future time. The fact that Mr. Kellar wouldn't have time to have made the talk may or may not have been known, but nevertheless it would have done no harm to have sent such an Invitation through Mr. Brooks or otherwise. Neither would it have hurt any one to listen to what the visitor had to say, even though no prospecting was done near Topeka. It would have at least been a good means of getting the club together If Mr. Kellar's ser vices could have been secured. These were sentiments expressed by several people when It was learn ed that no invitation mentioned had been issued. When asked about the matter Fred Morns, president of the club said: "I have not done anything about the proposition as the club members I talked to seemed to think there was n't any use trying to do anything about the matter." Mr. Brooks stated this morning that Mr. Kellar might be willing to state the situation of the Ohio oil fields near his home, in a letter. If he was asked to do so.

Willets Forges Checks Every Time Ho Gets Out of Prison. Unable to resist that psychological something that impels him to repeat edly tender worthless checks for his purchases, George Willets, 1415 North Harrison street, now on parole from the state penitentiary, is again in the toils of the law. He was arrested at noon today by Sergeant Ross and De tective Lawson of the local police. Willets was first arrested and con victed of forgery four years ago. Af ter confinement in the state peniten tiary for an indeterminate sentence he was allowed his liberty on parole. Shortly afterwards he again became involved in trouble, and was taken back to prison. Again he was paroled, and appar ently had lost the impelling influence which has seemed at intervals to again bring him into the hands of the law. But not for long for as soon as the "germ of thought again began to grow in the mind of the man he for the third time passed worthless checks with the result that again he must go back to confinement. Only this morning Willets became tha father of a bouncing babe. And it was to prepare for this event that had to do with his last incarceration in the municipal bastile awaiting in structions from the penitentiary offi cials. First he went to the business place of D. T. August where he purchased a $5 parasol, .giving in exchange a worthless check for $20.50, receiving the correct amount of change. This worked so well that Willets then went to Thompson Brothers Furniture Co., where he bought a baby crib, there offering a check for $20 in exchange. This was accepted but later found to be fraudulent, the man having re alized In both instances through the amount given him in change, as well as obtaining his purchases without recompense. The matter was reported to the authorities, and the officers started to work on the case with the result that this afternoon Willets Is held at the municipal prison awaiting further HE GOT DAMAGES. Archie Coffman Allowed $1,500 From City for Injuries. FOR STOMACH AGONY The city of Topeka will pay Archie W. Coffman $1,500 damages for a broken leg sustained in the overturn ing of a wagon caused by a pile of re fuse allowed to stand in a North To peka alley. The damage suit against the city brought in the district court for $2,000 occupied all day yesterday, the Jury bringing in their verdict at 6 o'clock last evening. Coffman was injured January 8, 1909. He had been in the employ of the W. A. Forbes mill hauling flour and feed since July 1908. The alley blockaded by the pile of refuse extends from Norrls street to Laurent street between Kansas avenue and Jackson street. The obstruction was at a point between the Forbes warehouse and the rear of the New Era department store. The plaintiff was in the habit of driving through the ailey continually and had often noticed the narrow pass age but had always passed safely until January 8, when the team of mules he was driving became frightened, pulling the wagon upon the obstruction so that it toppled over. The flaring side of the flour wagon bed struck him as he fell breaking his leg. Testimony showed that the pile of dirt, sand, and sticks had been thrown out of a basement several months pre vious and had been permitted to re main there that length of time. Coffman in his petition alleges he spent $250 for medical attention be sides losing his job which paid $2.50 a day. and asked $2,000. D. H. Bran naman and Z. T.

The finding of the severed legs of a woman in a dress suit case among some bushes in an outlying section of this town has brought to light what the authorities are convinced is a case of murder. The discovery of a New Bedford news Taper with the portions of the limbs Is regarded as the most complete clew thus far obtained, indicating possibly the place of the murder, if murder there was. The authorities were of the opinion that the woman was mur dered in New Bedford, and that the legs were placed In the suit case there end brought by team or automobile to Tiverton. According to the medical examiner. Dr. John Stimson. the sup posed murder was committed not more than 12 or 15 hours before the suit case was discovered. That a murder was committed and that the cutting was not done by the experienced Jianas of a surgeon or by a medical student la the belief of Dr. Stimson. who says that appearently a common hand saw was used to sever the legs from the trunk. A reach for the other portions of the body in the woods nearby is being made. The road on which the suit case was found runs from Newport to New Bed ford, passing through the outskirts of Fall River and is much used by auto mobile parties, especially on Sundays, when various resorts along the road are visited by people from the Massa v,.,oo.o rantnrv ritv as well as from portion of the right leg and the entire left leg, cut in two pieces at the knee. The medical examiner after measurements of the limbs est mated that the woman (or girl) Probabl- was five feet three inches in height ana weighed perhaps 120 pounds. A large callous spot on the bottom of the foot indicated that the girl was ac customed to much walking or to stand ing and suggests that she may have teen a working girl. There were no ini tials on the suit case and no mark of any kind by which its ownership could be traced. LITTLE RHODE ISLAND, After Dictating Tariff Asks Kansas Advice on Sanitation. Other states are following the ex ample recently set by Kansas and are planning on adopting the regulations prohibiting the use of the common drinking cup on railway trains. Dr. S. J. Crumbine of the state board of health has just received a letter from the Anti-Tuberculosis association of Rhode Island, asking' for a copy of the Kansas regulations. According to Dr. Crumbine it is but a question of time before all of the states follow suit and abolish the drinking cup on the trains throughout Headache For Years "I keep Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills on hand all the time, and would not think of taking; a journey without them, no mat ter how short a distance I am going. I have a sister that has had terrible headaches for years, and I coaxed her to try them and they helped her so much, she now keeps them by her all the time. From my own exper ience I cannot praise them enough." MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL, 63 High St., Penacook, N. H. Many persons have headache after any little excitement or ex ertion. They cannot attend church, lectures, entertainments, or ride on trains without suffer ing. Those who suffer in this way should try Dr. Miles' Antj Pain Pills. They give almost instant relief without leaving any disagreeable after-effects, as they do not derange the stomach or bowels just "a pleasurable sense of relief follows their use.

Is the United States court of one district empowered to remove defendants for trial in a proceeding for criminal libel to another district than that In which they re side? These were the questions in argument at the opening of the second day's hear ing of Delavan Smith and Charles R. Williams, proprietors of the Indian apolis News, charged with Criminal libel in the Panama canal controversy, before Judge Anderson today. Stuart McNamara, representing the department of Justice, seeking the re moval of Messrs. Smith and Williams to the District of Columbia for trial under a federal grand jury indictment, today continued his argument, begun yesterday. Judge Anderson, discussing with Mr. McNamara the contested points, had expressed his doubt that the publishers of the Indianapolis News had commit ted malicious and criminal libel in printing articles alleging there was corruption in the sale of the Panama canal zone to this country and further had stated that he was undecided as to whether the defendants in such an ac tion as this should be tried in the dis trict in which the newspaper contain ing the alleged libelous articles was published or in any district in which the newspaper circulated and in which a proceeding against the publishers was instituted. The government's evidence and argu ment against Messrs. Smith and Wil liams is finished insofar as is concern ed its attempt to establish the fact that they had criminally libeled former President Roosevelt, President Taft, William Nelson Cromwell, Douglas Robinson, Charles P. Taft and others, in charging that they were more or less directly responsible for an alleged illegitimate profit of 128,000,000 resultant On the alleged purchase of the Panama canal securities in France for $12,000,000 ana their sale to the United States gov eminent for $40,000,000.

Many Un necessary Deaths from this Disease If people could only understand that systematic catarrh is an internal dis ease that external applications cannot cure, they would not need to be warn ed so often about this malady, which, when neglected, paves the way often times for consumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet ca.- tarrh may be cured, if the right treat ment is employed. Catarrh is caused by a general dis eased state of the system which 'eads commonly to annoying and perhaps serious local conditions, which may prove a lertue breeding ground for germs of consumption. External reme dies give but temporary ease. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried bv the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of resisting the Infection of consumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made catarrh a specialty, and whose record was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh in all Its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where It fails or for any reason coes not satisiy tne user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone on our recommendation and guar antee We are rieht hprp whi t-rn ligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu Tone on our guarantee. We have iT?p 11 Mucu-Tone in two l: Kn rants and $1.00. Very often the taking of one 50cent bottle is sufficient to make a marked impression upon the case. Of course in chronic cases a longer treatment is necessary The average in such instances is three Jl.OO bottles. Remember you can obtain Rexall Rem edies in Topeka only at our store The Rexall Store. The Rosser Drug Co., 623 Kansas avenue, Topeka B. R. Clawson, Theatrical Agent, Says Independents WT1H Win. That the domination of the theatri cal trust is passing not only with the declaration of Topeka against the Klaw Erlanger circuit, but else where as well, is the statement of B. R. Clawson, jr., who was here in ad vance of Sam and Lee Shubert's well known production "Girls" written by the late Clyde Fitch. During the sea son, Mr. Clawson is' of the opinion, that a more rigid stand will be taken by managers who as yet have not de clared for the open house, and says that wherever he has been the Shu bert's are gaining in popularity be cause of the treatment accorded their patrons. "Theater goers in Topeka will this season have a chance to see most of the Shubert stars here," he said. "The truth of the whole matter has been that wherever we have been 'showing the Shuberts are forging ahead in the theatrical war, and until the time that the theater going public lose con fidence, and the Shuberts fail to make good their promises, the attractions will continue to grow and the mighty war waged against the trust will con tinue with unabated fury which can not but bring the best productions into the playhouses, not only here but elsewhere as well." This season Mr. Clawson has joined forces with the Shubert's, and was here on his annual visit preparing for the production of "Girls," at the Grand next Monday night. He says that the Shubert's are doing a fine business everywhere, and to a tre mendous extent on the coast. John Mason in "The Witching Hour" played to capacity houses in the Valencia theater at San Francisco for two weeks and did business aggre gating close to $25,000. Other Shu bert attractions that have done a big business in Seattle and Los Angeles, are the big musical shows which in a few days begin at the auditorium in Denver. "Nearly all these theaters are play ing open door, and not holding them selves over to exclusive Klaw Er langer attractions which the latter have attempted to dominate, notwith standing the fact that a few dramatic writers in New York are claiming the open door managers are going back to the trust. "I have yet to find one that has done so," said Mr. Clawson, "and as long as the Shuberts deliver the goods as they have done in the past the theater going public will continue to patronize them. I find that the pub lic is with the Shubert's because the people want the worth of their mon ey, high class productions, talent, thorough equipment, and Topeka which is recognized as the best show town in this section is no exception." Maxine Elliot in "The Chaperone;" Louise Gunning in "Marcelle;" Cor inne in"Millie Mischief;" Chas. Cherry in "The Bachelor;" Eddie Foy in "Mr. Hamlet of Broadway;" Madame Kalish in a new play. Lew Dockstader and his minstrels and Madame Nazi mova in a new play, are some of the attractions on the road this season which are playing with the Shubert's. PASS ON PERKINS CASE. United States Supreme Court to Re view ThisTCansas Case. Washington, Oct. 12. After a recess of more than four months and with Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Har lan. Brewer, White, Holmes, McKenna and Day present, the supreme court of the United States has begun the regu lar term for the next twelve months. Justice Peckham and Moody were ab sent on account of illness. The b'"'- s of the day was confined to admissions of the bare presentations of motions and petitions, and the dis missal of a number of cases. Among the petitions filed for writs of certiorari to procure the review by the supreme court of appeals, was one in volving the validity of the insurance policy of a suicide. The policy was issued by the Mutual Life of New York for $100,000 on the life of Lucius H. Perkins of Kansas. Lucius H. Perkins, former secretary of the state board of bar examiners and former president of the Kansas Bar association, fell from the roof of his $60,000 home, "Upton Court," in Law rence, on the night of June 1, 1907. He was picked up unconscious and the first report of the matter was that he had accidentally fallen from the building. He was one of the heaviest insurance policy holders in Kansas, having at the time policies on his life to the amount of $650,000. There were several for $100,000 each and others for smaller amounts. The value of the estate, in eluding the policies, was nearly $1,000.- 000. The Mutual Life Insurance company after an -investigation sued for the re turn Of their policy of $100,000 held by Mr. Perkins at the time or his death declaring their belief that he died from poison, stating that the pupils of his eyes after death were contracted in stead of dilated and that the pulse had been high instead of slow. They made an application for an ex huming of the body, an order to that effect being granted on September 14, 1907. The analysis made by the com mission appointed showed the presence of morphine in a quantity sufficient to kill a man. A FAITHFUL SERVANT. Millionaire Raced Across Continent to Attend Funeral of Butler. Newport. R. I., Oct. 12. Daniel B. Fearing, former mayor of Newport, raced from Seattle across the contin ent to act as chief mourner at the fu neral of Alfred Wiles, his butler for forty-five years, and arrived in time to dictate the funeral notice, as fol lows: Wiles Alfred Wiles, in this city in the 74th year of his age. For forty five years the faithful friend and ser vant of Daniel B. Fearing. The casket was covered with flow ers from the Fearing estate. The "faithful friend and servant" was buried in the Fearing lot, beside the grave of the wife of his employer who died in Rome about two years ago. LIVELY X. Y. SUITRAGETTES.

Belmont in the suffrage movement. He came to talk with woman's riehts advocates as a part of a general plan evolved by Mrs. Bel mont to capture the next assembly in behalf of woman suffrage. CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY 1 New Discovery Has Revolutionized the Treatment of Skin Diseases. Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the mar veitus skin remsdy known as poslam, v. hich, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these Ills. The success of poslam is not-at all surprising when it is considered that even a very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures ehornic caees in two weeks. Tho vsry worst cases of eczema, as well as acne, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, ci-us;ed humors, scaly scalp and every form of Itch, yield to It readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear al most immediately when poslam Is ap plied, the complextlon being cleared over night. Every druggist keens both the 50-cent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 Jar, and either of these may be obtained in Topeka at the Rosser Drug Co. and Fred A. Snow's, as well as other reli able drug stores. j But no one is even asked to purchase 1 poslam without first obtaining an ex perimental package which will be sent by mail, fiee of charge, upon requas: by the Emergency Laboratories, 32 Wf.r.

In the City of Havana During the Hurricane. Havana, Oct. 12. Communication be tween this city and Interior points, which was interrupted when yester day's ctorm tore down telegraph, and telephone wires, had not been lenewed today. Reports from nearby places indicate that the property loss, especially to the westward, has been heavy but that there were few fatalities. Four bodies have been discovered amid the ruins of fallen homes here and it is now believed that 12 lives were lost In this city. At least half of the lighters that were ir. the harbor were sunk or stranded and the work of loading and discharg ing cargoes has been interfered with in a way to seriously affect shipping in terests. NOT SALMON BUT CARP. State Food Commission in Chicago Starts Action Against Dealers. Chicago, Oct 12. The state food commission yesterday started a cru sade against dealers deceiving the pub lic with artificially colored and smoked fish, hams, bacon, sausage and other edibles. The Investigators had their attention attracted through the cheap prices at which smoked salmon was offered. Examination showed that most of the "salmon" in the market is carp from the Fox river and other nearby streams. They were first given a .bath of pink paint and then subjected to treatment in "liquid smoke." The in gredients of these are not classed as deadly poison, but are recognized as having "accumulative effect," meaning that constant oonsumption will pro duce death. Little of the genuine salmon was found at the stands. These "manu factured" fish may be sold on condi tion that they bear tags showing them to be bogus and there must be dis played signs on the walls showing that goods of that caliber are handled. Fish was the principal article treat ed with chemicals, but plenty of ham, bacon and sausage were similarly dosed. On all such the investigators stuck warning tags. NAVAL HOSPITAL IN PHILIPPINES Will Be Located at Baguio in the Mountains. Manila, Oct. 12. Captain Giles B. Har ber of the United States navy has selected as the site for the new naval sanitarium, the town of Bagulo. the mountain capital of Benguet. In the Island of Luzon. Sixty acres are expected to be occupied before the completion of the sanitarium. The selection of this site probably will lead to the abandonment .of the naval hospital at Yokohama. In December, 1900. 'the Philippine com mission proposed the construction of a fovernment railroad forty-nine miles long rom Dagupan, the northern terminus of the Manila railroad, to Eaguio, and the establishment-there of a sanitarium for troops serving in the Philippines to avoid sending them to the United States or Japan for recuperation.

Govenor Stubbs slipped over an extra on Senator Curtis in the tax contro versy last night and got out the second edition of the last answer. The extra was probably the most sensational statement of the list and places a re quest for an answer right at the door of the senator and with a "Now there spirit tells him to defend his country and his reputation. The governor says that there is only one way for Senator Curtis to- stop the tax controversy and that is to sacrifice his personal honor. He charges the senator with making false statements and says that he can not withdraw from the fight with decency until he admits that he willfully garbled and misrepresented" the printed statements made by the governor. The main part of the statement de mands that the senator apologize for the "Quotations' he has made. As usual the vital part of the million do! lar rise in state taxes is dodged and the people of Kansas do not know any more about the increase than they did at the beginniner of the explanation. The statement, which should have been a personal letter to Senator Curtis as far as public value is concernea, roi lows "In his last attack on mv administra tion Senator Charles Curtis said he wanted to stop the tax controversy say to him that he can not stop it with out sacrificing his personal honor un less he withdraws the false charge that my administration will cost the tax payers of Kansas nearly a million dol lars more this year than the cost of the preceding year. Senator Curtis made this charge, in a scornful attack on the reform movement, at Eskndge, Kan., last month in the. presence of many reputable citizens of this state. He does not deny this statement and challenge him to dispute it. Neither can he in decency withdraw from this controversy until he also admits before the people of this state that he wilfully garbled and misrepresented my printed statements concerning the value to the people of the 'reform movement" in Kansas. "Pretending to quote from my first statement published September 27, Sen ator Curtis said in reply: 'In the same statement he (mean ing me) refers to having saved the state millions of dollars in freight and passenger rates alone. When the gov ernor takes this credit to himself he knows that he is claiming what is not his due. The Senator's Cunning. "Thus the senator cunningly misauoted ana misinterpreted what I said in or aer to place me in the attitude of claiming the credit due a great manv others for the victories won under the banner of reform in this state. He did it mischievously; for he had my word? before him which I quote below in or der that the people of this state mav know that he maliciously intended to injure me by placing me in a false iignt. I he following- are my exact words and were so printed: 'These men who are making a gen eral assault on tne reform movement in this state, if they want to be fair and ten the truth, should admit that this movement has resulted in saving our peopie more money every year than the entire cost of the whole state govern ment. The saving in freight and pas senger rates alone amounts to millions of dollars annually to say nothing of the businesslike methods which have been established in every department of the state government." "If a man will pervert a plain statement in print a statement read by thousands of people how can he be credited with truth and sin cerity when he is making statements outside of the records? "I am confident that the people of Kansas have too much regard for truth and fair play to allow their senator to 'stop the controversy" until he retracts this misstatement. "I challenge him to deny the abso lute truth of the above quotations as I give them. Calls Me Extravagant. "Caught in his own webs of mis representations about taxation he tries to get away from them by mak- j it. ovprai uidL j. urn extravagant and wasteful because my contingent fund is $10,000 as compared with $4,000 given to my predecessor. He does not pretend, nor does he dare to say, to what extent I have used this contingent fund. During the first six months of my administration 1 used just $1,372 of this fund. Why did not Senator Curtis, if he wanted to be fair and friendly to my ad ministration, as he pretends to be, call attention to this fact? "Senator Curtis knows that there was no appropriation made by the legislature for the fish hatchery an institution which has cost the state a great many thousand of dollars. He knows that from the nature of this institution it would go to ruin if I had not taken care of it out of my contingent fund, and yet he not only has not the fairness to give me credit for protecting this valuable property of the state but he insinuates extrava gance when, in trying to save it, my contingent fund showed expenditures in the last three months including everything of not more than $1,190, as anybody can ascertain by writing for the information to the auditor of state. If I had not a reasonable amount of money in my contingent fund to protect this property worth probably $100,000 a special session of the legislature would have to be called to provide for it, and the peo ple know what that would mean in unnecessary cost to the state. "It is possible, also, that the wis dom of the legislature in allowing the governor a reasonable contingent fund will be emphasized very soon in another way a way that the great heart of the Kansas people will ap prove. We are trying to suppress in fantile paralysis in certain sections of the state a disease of horrible con sequences to children especially. Sec retary Crumbine of the state board of can keep sorrow out of one home in Kansas, and prevent one child from going through life a pitiable cripple. Senator Ourtis's criticisms of the amount of my contingent fund will not bother me very much. My Promises. "Everybody knows that I came Into the governor's office with the prom ise on my lips that I would enforce the laws of this state and clean up and clean out a lot of joints and things that the Kansas people have no use for. I felt that a reasonable contingent fund would be necessary in order to make my promise to the people good. I propose to make that promise good if I spend every remain ing cent of this fund despite the crit icisms of Senator Curtis or any other man who would obstruct the progress of either moral, or political reform in this state. "Senator Curtis, up to the present moment, has not shown or attempted to show, where a single dollar of the people's money has been paid out un der my administration without a fair and honest return in value. If he knows any unnecessary expenditures for labor, material or any other pur pose it is his duty, as an honorable ciitzen of Kansas, to state specifically the facts In the case, and give this administration an opportunity to in vestigate and correct such misman agement, s Curtis Can't Stop It. "No. Mr. Curtis, you can not stop this tax controversy until you prove some one statement you have made against this administration, or else make a public retraction of your mis representations. This controversy is not yours nor mine any longer. It is the property of the state of Kansas now. They have greatly honored both you and me and they have a right to know which one of us is trying to de ceive and betray them." OPENS WITH FIREWORKS POLITICAL GOSSIP

Vanity, All Is Vanity, and Hu mility Is Unknewn. New York Mayoralty Campaign Start ed by Hearst and Gaynor. New York, Oct. 12. The mayor alty campaign in New York has open ed in a blaze of oratorical fireworks. William Randolph Hearst and Wm. J. Gaynor appeared before the public last night for their first addresses of the campaign. Hearst spoke at Car negie hall, New York and formally accepted the nomination of the Inde pendents, known as the civic alliance. Gaynor appeared at the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, as the regular Dem ocrat nominee. In his formal address Hearst re frained from attacking his rival, but Justice Gaynor in his speech aroused by what he declared to be Hearst's breach ot faith in repudiating him challenged the editor to meet him in oint debate on the issues of the cam paign. I want fair play above all in this contest," said Judge Gaynor. "The open enemy I honor, but I despise the enemy that sits back as an editor or otherwise pretending to be your friend when he is only smiling whilo he buries his dagger in your ribs. "The yellow comes out of a man if is in him. So I say, let us fight It out in the open, Mr. Hearst. William Ivins, who was the Repub ican candidate tor mayor four years ago took an important part in the Hearst meeting. In fact, it was Ivins who made the bitterest attack' upon Gaynor. TO BE A NEW BANK. The Columbia of Oklahoma Passes Out of Kxistence. Oklahoma City. Oct. 12. With the as sets and liabilities of the Columbia Bank and Trust company remaining in the hands of the state banking board that institution ceases to exist except n name, and in its place has been founded the Central State bank with a capital stock of $200,000.' The quarters of the Columbia will be occupied joint ly by the state board and the new bank temporarily, the board continuing its payment to depositors. According to C, Webster, president of the new bank, the institution will not take over any of the assets of the Columbia bank. The refusal of W. L.

Only instead of trading the interests of the public for money, they swapped it for their personal popularity and political prestige. It came over me like a revela- tion, and much experience has confirm' ed the observation." Confessions of a street railway president in Saturday Evening Post. This conclusion reached by a man who had grown old in dealing with men is a thrust at human nature and there fore strikes home In the majority of cases. There is a world of philosophy in the trite paragraph above and every word bristles with truth. It applies in Kan sas as well as elsewhere. It opens a new book of discussion; a new field of speculation. The American Dublic likes to be hum bugged and there are many ways of accomplishing that end. In Kansas the old machine played to the hands of the railroads and had wires connected with all conventions. The machine was thrown onto the scrap "neap and a new movement went march ing on to the place of spoils. The old ways were denounced as those that were dark and vain. The new way was the only way to political salvation. Honesty, reform and good business methods were to mark the progress of the new way. But to perpetuate re forms the people must be kept stirred up. The worst of the old vices cor-T-oftprt fthe railroads and the conven tions) there must be new virtues added ir. order to dazzle the public that had gathered for the big show. The Kansas reformers of today were equal to the task. They dug up the bones of Populism that had lain long in the tomb of the past and rattled them in the light of this day. Kansas beheld a miracle of resurrec tinno TTor Jerrv SlmDson. there was vitnr Mnrdock: for Leedy. there was Walter Roscoe Stubbs: for Breidenthal, there was JoseDh N. Dolley; for Peffer, rnere was Senator Bristow; for Annie T-iio-tre there was William Allen White for Marv Ellen Lease, there was Fred S .Tflnkson. And the people who -had burled those Ponulists on oblivion's snore ana ior gotten their theories, accepted the same ideas from other.- minds, v It was a transmigration of souls, as Henry Young has aptly styled the new order of things in Kansas.- The Ponulists ..were unfortunate in wearing- whiskers; ;and not wearing socks, and theirdoctrines were rejected Thn finpllv the national retorm move ment. started by Roosevelt, penetrated to Kansas and much good was accom niisherl in the matter of the above men tioned primary .law and the curbing of the railroads. The reiormers reapea where they had sown. They liked the job. They kept on sowing and they're still reaping. They have set the song of the "Harvest Home" to music, and the song will never end that is as long as the oeople dance and pay tne nuaier It is a law as old as the hills that those who dance must pay. The first sight draft arrived with the 1909 tax levy nearly a million. The guaranty law is creaking in every misfit Joint The odor of political schemes clings to the garments of these reformers and cannot longer be denied. Man is mortal The flesh is weak: Patriotism nearly always gets mixed up with ambition After a reformer has saved tne state n generally saves himself and his friends and the plain-citizen who pays the fiddler can scarce tell the new politician In power from the old when he looks up at the heights of greatness, me oia timers juggled patriotism for riches; the newcomers Juggled patriotism for power. Neither can be called grafters in the strict sense of the word. The ex-president of the street railway com pany is too severe. They are all of them just plain, selfish men, serving their own ends while they serve the state. When the "veneer is scratched off they will be found to be all politi cians. They wear different numbers. answer to different names and pursue different methods -but the ends they aim at are the same. The reformer will go as far to gain permanent power for himself and friends as the old gang went for the accessories of power. They advertise their panaceas in the market place, they cry their wares and beat the bier drum to sound their greatness to the multitude. They ad vertise their virtues and their reforms beyond their merits. They spring new remedies and cure alls. Their pandora box is inexhaustible and their juggler writers and magic speakers are never weary of advancing the cause of the only true reform. .But they overdo it all. Their zeal smacks of selfishness and their ambitions carry them far be yond their first modest aims and re quirements and in the end the state has gained but little by its change of mas ters. Not satisfied with having saved the state from the Philistines, they have. like Jjavid, sinned against tneir own simple creed that first gave them vic tory. David repented his sin and humbled himself. But these reformers show no signs of writing a psalm of humility. They claim the earth and the fullnes thereof. Their wise men and prophetic speakers and writers of psalms, when called to account for certain discrepencies in predictions and results, point back to the iniquit ies of the Philistines and exalt them selves still more. But all this is not going to satisfy the people. The days of the machine were bad days, it is true, but so were the times of Populism bad times. A nation or a party exalteth itself before the fall. There is now heard talk of new deal as well as a square deal for the corners "of the latter have be come rounded, even as a circle. By their works shall ye know them. and not by their boasting and their vaunts. It is just as bad, when results are considered, to trade the 'public's in terests for personal popularity and prestige as it is to make the trade for money. STORM SWITCHED OFF. West Indian Hurricane. Is Following the Gulf Stream. Everyone is talking about San Diego Have you visited the San Diego ex hibit at the National Hotel, balconj floor? Washington, Oct. 12. All danger to points on the Gulf of Mexico and At lantic coast from the West Indian hur ricane, which wrecked Key West, Fla., yesterday, and swept northeasterly over Florida, has passed according to the weather bureau today. The trop ical storm, after passing over Key West, crossed the Florida peninsula and went out to sea at Miami. The disturbance ia now continuing with un abated force northeasterly along the gulf stream and Is heading toward the Bermudas. Key West a Wreck. Key West, Oct. 12. As a result of the hurricane, which struck the south ern coast of Florida, Key West is a mass of wreckage and the damage to property Is estimated at $2,000,000. Chaos reigns on every hand and few people remain in their homes, hun dreds of which either have been totally wrecKea or damaged. The wind had an estimated velocity of 100 miles an hour. Brick as well as frame buildings tnrougnout the city suffered from the fury of the hurricane and -many mi raculous escapes from death have Deen reported. Besides the several score of resi dences either totally wrecked or blown from their foundations, several fac tories were partly destroyed, including the Havana-American, Martinez Nich ols, Ruy Lopez, Manuel Lopez, Toreys, Cortz and Wolf Cigar manufactories. No. 1 and No. 3 -of the city fire de partments were destroyed and the fire men narrowly escaped. The top of the First National bank was blown off, the postoffice damaged and government coaling station damaged. Every tele phone and electric light pole on Duval street, the principal thoroughfare of the city. -was blown down. As soon as the wind had subsided plundering began. The city police force was unable to cope with the situation and the mayor decided to take such stringent measures to sup press the looting, his proclamation of martial law resulting. Almost every nationality is represented among the city's population of more than 20,000, about one-half of whom are-employed in the cigar manufactories, sponge fisheries and salvage companies. KEY WEST JAILS FILL. Looting Began When Storm Put Out the City Lights. Key West, Fla., Oct. 12. With the city in the hands of the military authorities who were called on by the mayor ior assistance, efforts are be ing concentrated toward ascertaining tne damage wrought by the hurricane which swept the gulf yesterday. It is estimated the damage to property in the city and harbor will reach $2,000,000. No loss of life has been reported in the city but it is thought the death toll will be heavy along tne eastern coast of the peninsula. Many of the vessels which had been swept from their moorings dur ing the blow yesterday afternoon managed to ride out the storm dur ing the night and came back to their piers this morning, but between 60 and 75 boats of all descriptions were wrecked. It is feared a number of lives were lost on these vessels. In the city whole blocks of struc tures were razed, while the great to bacco factories and warehouses suf fered considerable damage. It will probably be several weeks before they will be able to resume operations. The city jail is filled to overflowing with looters captured by the militia and police during the night. Thieves began operations as soon as the fury of the storm had abated, the wrecking of the electric light plant having plunged the city In darkness. The mayor Immediately proclaimed martial law. The Key West guards were called out and patrolled the streets during the night. The United States government has also been called on for assistance. Hun dreds are homeless today and are be ing cared for in churches, schools and other roomy structures which escaped the fury of the storm. Rations are be ing distributed by the city authorities and It is expected that during the day help will arrive from the state. FROST WAS GENERAL. Below KreezingTemperatureThrough out the Southwest.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1909 SOUSA IN TOPEKA. Ills Band Again Delights a Local Audience. How it brought back one's lost youth to hear Manhattan Beach and El cap ltan at the Grand last night! .When we were young, my dyah, the "latest pop ular hit" waa alwavs the new Sousa march. The bands and orchestras and hurdygurdies played it, we two-steppe i to it, and unless a girl had a copy of it on her piano she was hopelessly "late, or her Stiddy was very careless. In those days there wasn't a phono graph in every parlor and young wo- r"', er (now- adays it takes a song hit, usually from a musical comedy, to get tne nioue,,, and the March King, whose marches once made his band famous, now de bases that splendid organization to the vain purpose of keeping up inter est in his compositions. In spite of the vogue he once enjoyed. John Philip Sousa never could write music, although he is an Incomparable bandmaster, and his organization is not excelled by any of the big concert bands. His marches are pretty thin tuff when you try them on your piano, although under the hynotizing effect of the Sousa personality and the Sousa band they are effective enough. And how the old ones bring- back memories, star-bright, rose-scented, of the dear, dead past. Let's see! They were wear ing godet skirts and the bang had not entirely disappeared. And here it is coming back again and Sousa still play ing Manhattan Beach! But enough of memories. Rully, you know, they are too poignant. The Sousa band is as good as ever and the Sousa compositions as poor, al though his Bacchanalian Suite, People Who Live in Glass Houses which was played last night is an original and ef fective thing. Of the soloists, of whom Mr. Sousa carries a number, Mr. Her bert L. Clarke, cornetist, is still with him and his performance is as great ns ever. The Misses Hoyt, vocalists, sing pleasantly and he has also a clever and promising young violinlste, a mere slip of a girl, looks not over seventeen, In the person of Miss Florence Harde man who achieved a pronounced suc Cess last night, largely, no doubt, by I virtue of her personality, and was thrice recalled. Miss Hardeman has, for her years, excellent technique, and while her tone is still rather thin, she nlavs with SDirit and abandon, her Phrasing is excellent and MacDowell's To a Wild Rose, with the harp accom paniment which was one of her encores was an exquisite interpretation. Perfectly balanced, every man an artist of high order, and controlled by one of the best conductors in the busi ness the Sousa band is a notable organ ization and a Sousa concert is one of the many delights. You may claim what you will for your favorite, which ever it may be, there is not another band which comes to us, which could give the Rachmaninoff Prelude to Crime and Punishment the striking contrasts, the tonal effects which char acterize the Sousa performance. An other notable number was the Allegro from Tchaikowsky's Fourth Symphony which would seem to demand the vio lins, but which, at the hands of Sousa ard his musicians, suffers not at all in the respects of delicate shading, rich and varied tone co'or and emotional and poetical significance. So let's stand for the Stars and Stripes Forever, or at least as long as we have Sousa and his band as com pensating circumstances. FliORENCE JOHNSTONE. AMUSEMENTS. At the Grand. Clyde Fitch's latest comedy, "Girls," under the management of the Shu berts, which will be presented at the Grand theater Monday, deals with the fortunes of four, young women who have gone to "New York with the de termination to fight their way in the "world without the assistance of the opposite sex. After a struggle, how ever, they finally succumb to the in evitable and throw down their arms to their sworn enemies. It can be readily understood that such a theme handled in the masterly fashlon common to Clyde Fitch would be full of bright lines and humorous situations. At the Novelty. The Novelty bill for this week em braces a number of excellent acts, featuring the one of Mile. Lorette and her celebrated statue dog Ben. This is the first time an act of this charac- "W ter has eer been seen in Topeka but it is a favorite already as is evidenced from the hands it received at three performances Monday. Ben is a big white Irish setter, as pretty as a dog could be, and endowed with more than usual canine intelligence. The act is a series of poses in which Ben and Mile. Lorette, the latter dressed in the typi cal English hunting costume of white, depict the following features of a hunt: Off to the hunt, scenting game, point ing, dropping to shoot, retrieving, re trieved, lunch, a wounded dog and bark from the hunt. This is not the only good feature of the program, however, as Karl and Erma Gath present an orieinal comedy .klt entitled "Amateur Night at the Bowery." which is out of the ordinary as well as topping above the ordinary run of comedy skits. One of the most enjoyable parts of the entire bill is that of the Ramsey isters in a com edy success, "The Messenger Girl." This ia a musical act in which a dia logue of comedy is inserted for effect. Both features elicit lavish applause. Gladys Middleton,' a singing come dienne, is a good singer and accom panies her songs with an abundance of comedy. Long- and West, "The Talking- Kids," do some clever conver sational and singing stunts. Miss Haze) Kaiser in an interesting song and the Novelscope round out the bill. At the Majestic. If the indications at the opening performance are any criterion the North Brothers will pack the Majestic every night this week with their pro duction of "Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman." which is the best pro duction the company has yet present ed In Topeka, As the first curtain went up last night, the elaborate stage setting, painted by the company's scenic artist, Tom Vassel, drew a good hand and from then on the company drew good hands in every act and took more than the usual number of curtain calls. As Raffles, Mr. Harry Minturn gave ,.n.rTnarkatila interpretation nf the I rpmlndinflr the audience vprv production: popular in Topeka five years ago. Miss Russell easily main tained her popularity with her clien tele in the sympathetic role of Gwen dolyn Conron. Clyde Callicotte gives B splendid performance in the role of Captain Bedford, the detective, an un usually heavy rart. The entire com pany is seen in this production, every one of them showing to advantage. This is easily the best bill ever given in rr- a nnnnlar nrlcps. a c WANTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ADS, s.

The finding and judgment awarding to the plaintiff the land in controversy and decreeing, in effect, that the defend ants inherited from their deceased father only the bare legal title thereto, which he held as a resulting trust for the plain tiff, to whom passed the equitable title, is supported by the evidence and is in accord with the statute of Trusts and Powers.

After the merger the Judgment is the evidence of the debt secured by the mort gage and a proceeding to foreclose the mortgage should be founded on the judg ment rather than on the original note and In this case it Is held that the rendition of the judgment on the note and the trans fer of the same to appellant was suffi ciently pleaded and brought to the con sideration of the court to justify a judg ment foreclosing bis mortgage.

Meantime the lessee installed machinery, erected Improvements, sunk shafts, ran drifts and otherwise develop ed the property until it became very valu able and in so doing expended the sum of $20,000 After repeated demands the lessor refused to execute a lease for the agreed period. Held, that as against a claim of want of mutuality in the obliga- LEGAL. tion and remedy of the parties specific performance of the oral agreement should be decreed. Ail the Justices concurring.

AFTER GOING FOURTEEN AND A HALF MILES THE THREE MEN PITCH CAMP AND SLEEP Copyright, 1909. by the New York Herald Company. Heglstered In Canada tn accordance with the Copyright Act Copyright In Mexico under the laws of the Republic of Mexico. All Bights Reserved. SYNOPSIS Or CHAPTERS PRINTED In the first instalment of his thrilling ttory, "The Conquest of the Pole," printed in the Herald of Dr. Frederick A. Cook told of the start from Gloucester on the Bradley, of the voyage to the polar tea and of the overhauling en route of the equipment needed for the dash to the pole. In a graphic manner the discoverer wrote a story of Eskimo life that never has hern excelled for human interest. He told of the home' life, the tragedy end comedy that mingle in the dreary existence of the dwellers in the Arctic, end of the childlike eagerness of the natives to trade their valuable furs and ivories for the simplest 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 carious places visited in Greenland in search of guides and information as to conditions further north. Dr. Cook wrote of the trip across Inglefield Gulf, past Cape Auckland and on toward Cape Robertson. Here the discoverer closed the first part of his narrative, with Etah and Annootoh, the last points of call, looming in the icy distance. In the second instalment Dr. Cook described the voyage to Etah and then on to Annootok, the place of plenty, which he selected as the base for his dish to the pole. In the third instalment the explorer described the work of preparing his winter quarters, closing with a graphic description of a narwhal hunt. In the fourth instalment Dr. Cook described the approach of the long Arctic night, which caused his party at Annootok to become very active in preparing for the dash to the pole. In the fifth instalment Dr. Cook told of the actual start on February 19, 1908, and described the equipment he took for his great final dash. In the sixth instalment the discoverer told of the first progress of his little party and the last sight of land, and his adventures on the perilous trip with the two Eskimos who went to the pole with him. In the seventh instalment Dr. Cook described how his Eskimo companions saved his life. In the eighth Chapter Dr. Cook gave a vital picture of the terrors of the Arctic cold. In the ninth instalment Dr. Cook described the lifeless lands passed before the pole was reached. In the tenth chapter Dr. Cook described the near approach to the pole.

Copyright in Mexico under the laws of the Republic of Mexico. AH Rights Reserved. THE observations of April 14 gave latitude 88 deg. 21 min., longitude 95 deg. 52 min. We were but one hundred miles from the pole, but there was nothing to relieve the mental etrain of the icy despair. The wind came with the same Sa tanic cut from the west There had been little drift, but the ice be fore us displayed signs of recent activity. It was more irregular, with an open crack here and there, but the sleds glided with less friction, and the dreary dogs maintained a better speed under rising tails. With teeth set and newly sharpened resolutions, we set out for that last one hundred miles. Some dogs had gone into the stomachs of their hungry companions, but there still remained a sufficient pull of well tried brute force for each sled, and though their noisy vigor had been lost in the long drag they still broke the frigid silence with an occasional outburst. A little fresh enthusiasm from the drivers was quickly followed by canine activity. We were in good trim to cover distance economically. The sledges were light, our bodies were thin. All the muscles had shriv elled, but the dogs retained much of their strength. Thus stripped for the last lap one horizon after another was lifted. In the forced effort which followed we were frequently over heated. The temperature was steady, at 44 degrees below zero Fah renheit, but perspiration came with ease and a certain amount of pleasure. Later, however, there followed a train of suffering for many days. The delight of the birdskin shirt was changed for the chill of the wet blanket. The coat and trousers hardened to sheets of ice, and it became quite impossible to dress after a sleep without softening the stiffened furs with the heat of the bared skin. The mittens, the boots and the fur stockings became quite useless until dried out. x Furs Soon Dried. Fortunately at this time the sun was warm enough to dry the furs in about three days if lashed to the snnny side of the sled. In these last days we felt more keenly the pangs of perspiration than in all our earlier adventures. The amber colored goggles were persistently used and they afforded a protection to the eyes which was quite a revelation, but in spite of every precaution our distorted, frozen, burned and withered faces lined a map of the hardships en route. We were .curious looking savages. The perpetual glitter in duced a squint which distorted the face in a remarkable manner. The strong light reflected from the crystal surface threw the muscles w KSe irf I Ur&L "V Si rv r if v iSiliil about the eye into a state of chronic con traction. The pupil was reduced to a mere piuhole. The strong winds and drifting snows encouraged the habit of peeping out of the corner of one eye. Nature in attempt ing to keep the ball from hardening dushed.it at all times with blood. There was no end of trouble at baud in endeav oring to keep the windows of the sou; open, and all of the effect was run to gether in a set expression of hardsuip and wrinkles wlucli buou.u be called the bureal squint.

Cr PR06RES5 PAYBYPAY uLjZ I OVjSR THE POLAR ICE. oV frr1 LAJTCASTEfL UPERMfWIK Ji r I yj p SOUNP Airil l'J we camped on a picturesque old field, with convenient hummocks, to which we could easily rise for the fre quent outlook which we now maintained. The tent was pitched, the dogs were silenced by blocks of oemmican. Iu us new enthusiasm was aroused by a liberal pot of pea soup and a few chips of frozen meat, and then we bathed in lifegiving sunbeams, screened from the piercing air then by silk strands. It was a beau tiful day, and had our sense of apprecia tion not been blunted by accumulated fatigne we would have greatly enjoyed the play of light and color in the evef chautring scene of sparkle, but in out condition it was but an inducement to keep the eye open and to prolong interest Ions enough to dispel the growing com plnint of nchinfr mnsclps. The Eskimos were soon lost In a pro fonnd sleep, the onlv comfort in their hard lives, bnt I retnnmert awaKe. as nan been mv habit on snecep-'ing days, to get nnnticni observations. The longitude cnl enljiHons lined u t 04 dee. 3 min. At noon the sun' 8lt't"d wns enrefu'-- Set on the sextnnt. and the latitude, qnickly reduced, jrnve 8 dg SI min. twenty nine miles from the pole. My heart jumped for joy, and the on consclons commotion which I was creat- ing awakened Etukishuk. I told him that in two average marches we would reach tne tigi suu lue big nail). Ahwelah was awakened with a kick. and together they went out to a hum mock and through glasses sought for a mark to locate so important a place as the terrestrial axis. If but one sleep be yond it must be seen. I tried to explain that the pole was not visible to the eye. that its po-itin was only located by a repeated use of the various instruments. This entirely satis fied their curiosity and they burst out in (hurrahs of jot. For two hours they chanted and danced the passions of wild life. Sleep In Impossible. It was the first real sign of pleasure or rational emotion which they had shown for several weeks. For some time I had i entertained the fear that we no longer possessed the strength to return to land, i but the unbridled flow of vigor dispelled I that idea. i. More sleep Was onite Impossible. We j brewed an extra pot of tea. prepared a favorite rirotu or pemmican. our op a snrnrise of fancv nisc and filled uo Ion good things to the limit of tn allow ance for our hnal feast days, tne does which had joined the chorus of gladness. were given an extra lump pemmican. A few hours more was agreeably speut in the tent, and then "e s: -ted with new spirit for the ut ost north. We were excited to a fever beat. The: feet were light on this run. Even the dogs caught the infectious enthusiasm and rushed along at a pace which made, it difficult for me to keep a sufficient ad-; vance to set a good course. The horizon was still searched for something to mark the approaching boreal centre, but noth ing unusual was seen. It w the same1 expanse of moving seas of See on which we had uvea tor nve nundred miles. But looking thro- 7I1 irlml'lriied eyes, the scene assumed a new glory. There were plains of gold fenced in purple walls with srilded crests. It wits one of the few days on the stormy Dock when all nature smiled with cheering lights. As the day advanced and the splendor' of summer night was run into the con tinued day the beams of gold on the surface snows thickened, while the shad ows of hummocks and ridges spread a line of violet harriers thronch which a way must be 'sough t.- fcrom my position a few hundred vnrds ahead of the sleds I eotild not resist the temptation to turn frequently to see the movement of the dog train with its new tire. In this direction the color scheme was reversed. The icy walls were iu gold and burning colors, while the plaius rep resented every shade of purple and blue. At the Aorth role. Through this sea of color the dogi came with a spirited tread, noses down, tails up and shoulders braced to the straps like chariot horses. The young Eskimos, chanting songs of love, cams with easy step. The long whip was swung with a brisk crack, and all over there rose a cloud of frosted breath, a certain signal of efficient motive power, which an easy southern air was driving poleward. Camp was pitched early In the morn ing of April 20. The sun was northeast, the pack glowed in tones of lilac, the normal westerly air of shivers brushed our frosty faces, the surprising burst ot enthusiasm had been nursed to its limiti and under it a long march was made over average ice with the usual result of overbearing fatigue. Too tired and sleepy 10 wan ior a cup 01 tea, melted snowt were poured down and the pemmican was pounded with the axe to ease the task of the jaws. The eyes closed before the meal was finished and the world ai lost to ns for eight hours. The observa tion gave latitude 89 deg. 46.5 min.. longitude 94 deg. 52 min. Vith the hovs sinirtntr end thm doM howling we started off after midnight on April 21. The dogs looked large and noble as they came along that day, while iiuKisneoK and Aliwelnn. though thin and ragged, had a dignity as heroes of the greatest human battle which had ever been fought with remarkable success. We were all lifted to the paradise ol winners as we stepped over the snows ol a destiny for which we had risked life and willingly suffered the tortures of an icy hell. The ice under us seemed almost sacred. When the pedometer registered fourteen and a half miles we camped and calmly went to sleep, feeling that we were turn ing on the earth's axis. The observations, however, gave 89 deg. 59 min. 45 sec. We therefore had th pole, or the exact spot where it should be. within sight. We advanced the fifteen seconds, mads supplementary observations, pitched th tent, built a snow igloo and orenared to make ourselves comfortable for a stay long enough tor two rounds of observa tions. Our position was thus doubly assure! and a necessary day of rest was gained. Etukishook and Ahwelah enjoyed the day in quiet repose. But I slept-very little: my goal was reached, the ambition of my life had been fulfilled; how could I sleep away such overwhelming momenta of elation The Dream Realised. At last we had reached the boreal cen tre. The dream of nations had been re alized. The race of centuries was ours. The flag was pinned. to the coveted pole. The year was 1908, the day April 21. The sun indicated I oca! noon, but time was a negative problem, for here all merid ians meet. With a step it was possible to go from one part ot the globe to ths opposite side, from the hour of midnight to that of midday. Hcrr there is but on day and one night in each year. The lati tude was 90 deg., the temperature 38.7, the atmospheric pressutt 29.83. North, east and west had vanished. It was south in every direction, but the compass, point ing to the magnetic pole, was as useful as ever. Though overjoyed w!th the success of the conquest our spirits began to change on the next day after all the observations had been taken and the local conditions were studied. A sense of intense loneli ness came with careful scrutiny of tbs horizon. What a ehecrless snot to hv aroused the ambition of man for so many ages! Endless fields of purple snows.
