Half Hour with a Man Who Makes These Building Blocks. A State Journal reporter stumbled into a little office down at 507 East Fourth street where a man makes and sells rocks for a living. That man is J. F. Spohn. For the past twenty five years Spohn has been working and ex perimenting with cement and says he is confident he has the best formulas for mixing cement for any purpose it may be used. At that plant on East Fourth street 2.000 concrete building blocks are moulded and laid out to cure each week. From that same stand the 2,000 blocks are sold in the same time. Mr. Spohn began cement business in Binghamton, N. Y., then transferred to Springfield, Mass., then Scranton, Pa., and Buffalo, N.

Kansas City, Kan., Oct. 16. At a joint session of the city councils of Ar gentine and Kansas City, Kansas, last night the proposition to consolidate the two cities passed with only three dis senting votes. Councilman Brown of Argentine, and Councilmen Clark and Rlgsby of Kansas City, Kan., voted against the ordinance. Mr. Brown, be fore voting, stated that he had been opposed to the proposition since it was first talked of, but that after the con solidation was made he would do every thing in his power to help the greater Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Clark said he does not think Kansas City. Kan.. !s able to bear the expense which the an nexation of Argentine will incur, and voted against it for that reason. The ordinance provides that the con solidation take effect at noon, January 17, 1910. At that time all the city ordi nances of Argentine will become null and void, and the ordinances of Kansas City. Kan., will govern the greater city. Also, at that time, the city of ficers of Argentine, with the exception of the city assessor, will relinquish their offices. The city assessor wil serve until the assessment of property is finished in the spring. The old city of Argentine will become the Seventh ward of Kansas City, Kan. Mayor Guyer, January 1, 1910, will ap point two councilmen to serve from that ward until the election in April, when the commission form of govern ment will go into effect, and when a mayor commissioner and four com missioners will be elected at large.

HE SAVED$7,000 New State Grain Inspector Makes Great Record. J. T. White Claims He Did This in Five Months. PAYKOLLS PADDED. White Claims Radford Was Ex travagant. Says Former Inspector Employ ed Incompetent Heip. J. T. White, the state grain inspec tor, appointed by Governor Stubbs. has made a report to the governor in which he shows a saving to the state by his department of 17,000 in the last six months. The report in full fol lows: "Hon W. R. Stubbs. Governor, Topeka, "Dear Sir: In answer t cent Inquiry as to the manner in which n.o ouaniKB oi mis department is be ing conducted, I beg leave to report as follows: I have prepared and rnfinuj with in tabulated form a Ing the expenditures and receipts of this department for the last two preceding fiscal years, and down to the present date. By reference to this, and by a comparison between the present and past administration of this office, it may be easily seen that we are try ing to give the state a clean, business like and economical grain inspection cfepartment, and that we have achiev ed, some tangible results along this line of endeavor. "During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, every item of the appropria tions icr mis department was practi cally exhausted. Out of appropriations for salaries and contingent fund ag gregating $48,400. but 509 was left in the state treasury at the end of tho fiscal year. Tht fees received by the state amounted to t23.104.35, leaving a net loss of about 225.000. Fully two thirds of this loss may be charged up to mismanagement. "The first six months of the next fiscal year also show the same condi tion of padded payrolls and useless and unnecessary employes. However, the months of January and February, 1909, at the beginning of your adminis tration, show a marked decrease in the payroll. This occurred before the writer assumed the office of chlof grain inspector, but I understand that it was done at your direction. In April and May of this year, when I took charge, a further reduction was made. It is apparent that without your in tervention, tho former conditions would have prevailed, but as masters stand, the expenses of the fiscal year recently closed amount to only $43,629.67. show ing a saving of J4.361.04 in the last five months of the year ending June 30, 1909. "The writer has been in complete charge of this department for five months, since May 1, 1909. Your atten tion is requested to a comparison of that period with the corresponding months of 1909. During May, June, July, August and September of this year, the total disbursements wen $15,865.56 and for the same months of last year, $20,262.77 a difference of $4. 937.21. It should be remembered that the figures for this year include the salaries of inspectors and helpers at Anthony, Wichita, Hutchinson and Leavenworth, none of which are count ed in last year's total, as the state did not pay salaries at any of the above points last year. The salaries at these stations durin- the past five months amount to $2,666.09. making a total sav ing of about $7,000 In five months of my administration of this office. "In October of 1908 the pay roll show ed 12 Inspectors, 17 weighmasters, and 11 helpers here in Kansas City. This month we are employing 6 inspectors, 11 weightmasters and 8 helpers to do the same work. This Is a direct saving of $1,140 this month. A further reduc tion is contemplated and will be made by November 1st. We are keeping ths payroll down to the lowest point con sistent with good business policy. "In previous years men have been carried on the salary list of this de partment who never gake an honest day's service to the state, or to any body else as I am Inclined to believe. Helpers and weighmasters were paid as inspectors, and men were given posi tions and increases in salary solely upon their ability to get out and 'line up the push.' The state accountant re ports an embezzlement of over $9,000 of the state's funds during the past six years. The conduct of this department was subject to much well deserved criticisms and its value to the state was greatly impaired. "We have endeavored to change all this, and have been somewhat success ful, if numerous commendatory state ments are to be believed. One thins is certainly true every present employe of this department is giving honest and adequate service, and every man under stands that his retention depends sole ly upon the quality and quantity of tho service he renders.

Few if any recognized him when he rode into the little city and settled down on Plaza Guadalupe Hidalgo in the shadow of the ancient Church of the Guadalupe, In a long, low adobe house, to establish the cap ital of what was left of the Mexican republic. It is different today. For months the preparations have been in pro gress for the coming of President Diaz. Troops have been arriving daily for weeks to police the city and serve as a proper military escort for the president and his distinguished guest, the president of the United States. Emissaries have been arriving from Mexico City to complete every detail for the comfort of the president.

For almost a year, surrounded by a Email band of half starved, poorly clad and almost defenseless patriot soldiers, the president of the Mexican republic waited and hoped and watch ed for the aid that he expected from the United States; there, after weary waiting, he finally rallied his forces end set out on the return march to the City of Mexico that finally result ed in a brilliant victory at Quaretaro t Bloated And Sour Stomach Need No Longer Be Endured by Sofr ferer lom Dyspepsia. The stomach and intestines always contain, even in health, a small amount of gases. They seem, both from a chemical and mechanical point of view, to be essential, to some extent at least, to good digestion. A great deal of common air is swallowed with the food, and the remarkable facility with which air bubbles are formed in the saliva is referrable to this special purpose. It follows that oxygen and nitrogen are natural to the stomach, and it has been ascertained that nitrogen is greatly in excess of oxygen, showing that even in the stomach this gas is some way employed in the vital pro cesses. But as gases are easily evolved by fermentation and decomposition cf food in the stomach and intestines, and as saccharine and other ferment able matters dissolved, in liquids are present in the gastro-intestinal tube. It results that its aeroform contents are much more complex than is gen erally supposed. W'-hen digestion is perfectly healthy there can be no fermentation and flat ulence, but as soon as indigestion oc curs carbonic acid gas and various other gases are freely formed in the stomach and bowels, causing much discomfort. The remedies employed for the cure of flatulence may be classified as follows: Those which prevent fer mentation; those which favor the ex pulsion of gas, and those which oxi dize and absorb gases. Of the reme dies which possess the above proper ties, charcoal is the only one which has the power of preventing fermen tation and decomposition of food, and at the same time absorbing all excess gases in the alimentary channel. Medicines which expel gases from the stomach, known as carminatives, are not to be compared with a rem edy which absorbs the gases and pre vents eructations or belching. STUART'S CHARCOAL, LOZENGES are now used by thousands of people who were formerly subject to fermen tation, decomposition, belching, bad Wreath, and rumbling noises in the in testinal system, and from which dis agreeable symptoms, through the use ot these powerful absorbent lozenges, complete relief has been obtained. They are made of the finest wtllow wood, treated by a special, exclusive, carbonizing process, and when sweet ened with pure honey, a medicinal product is obtained which Is at once palatable and wonderfully effective In curing these complaints.

Visits Old Capitol. President Diaz on his present visit, while he is not making his capitol in the same building occupied by Gen eral Juarez, was a visitor at the old adobe structure on Commercio street today and in fact, in company with President Taft, he addressed the peo ple of the border in front of the one time capitol. As a fitting culmination of the ex change cf visits between the two presidents today and in distinct con trast to the social functions which attended the stay of President Juarez in Mexico, when corn cake was the principal article of food for the presidential table, is the banquet to night in the custom house in Juarez. For the preparation of the delicacies for the occasion. President Diaz sent his chef and chief steward from Chepultepec castle, a man who for merly served in the same capacity in the palace of King Alfonso of Spain. The silver for the occasion Is also from Chepultepec and was brought to Juarez under special guard. The flowers for the decorations came in a special express car from the City of Guadalajara and the decorations came from Mexico City. The car riages in which the Mexican president and the party paid a call on the presi dent of the United States and in which Mr. Taft and party returned the visit to General Diaz, were shipped from the presidential stables at Mexico City. THIS IS SAD CASE. New York, Oct. 16. While no meet ing of the board of directors of the Union Pacific for the purpose of re organization has yet been called, it 13 understood that the board will meet next week, when a president will be elected to succeed the late E. H. Har riman. According to present indica tions, Robert S. Lovett, recently chosen chairman of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific boards, will be named as president of the Union Pacific. The election of Henry W. Deforest as a di rector was in accordance with the ex pectations entertained In well Informed quarters, and presented further evi dence in refutation of the rumors cur rent a few weeks ago that new inter ests would gain a position on the Union Pacific board. Mr. Deforest has for a long time been closely identified with ine warriman party. JACKSON A DIRECTOR. GAIN FOR VANDERBIIrS. Chicago Boy Stole to Get Money to Buy School Books. Co..' 300 Stuart Bldg., Marshall. Mich, and his mother. Chicago, Oct. 16. In his eagerness to complete his education at the univer sity high school. Ben Louis, 19 years old. stole a revolver and a pair of opera glasses from the home of A. K. Shepard, later pawning the articles. He admitted the theft to Municipal Judge Stewart yesterday and was sentenced to 90 days in the Bridewell. "Yes, I took the articles," sobbed Louis when arraigned In court. "I had no money to pay my car fare and reeded more books. My instructor told me not to return to school unless I had the books and I stole, thinking to sell the goods and get some money." He had been employed at the Shep ard home one day when the articles were missed. Louis told the police he came to Chi cago two years ago from Joliet, 111., and had been studying and working Stuart wherever he could to support himself The Election of Hug-hitt So Regarded on Wall Street. New York, Oct. 16. Announcement of the eleotion of Mr. Hughitt to the New York Central board caused some sur prise in Wall street, where It has been ssumed that some man who might be regarded as more strictly a represen tative of the Harriman interests would be placed in the directorate. Although Mr. Hughitt Is a director and member of the executive committee of the Un ion Pacific, he is regarded in banking rcles as essentially a vanderb'lt man. His addition to the New York Central board is taken to mean a strengthen- ng or the position of the Vanderbilt interests in that property, and it is re ported that they have acquired some large blocks of New York Central stock ince trie death of Mr. Harriman. Some were inclined to believe that the entrance of Mr. Hughitt into the New York Central board signified the wan ing of the influence of the Harrimaiv party In that property. It was pointed out that Mr. Hughitt. although affilia ted with the Union Pacific, was a di rector of that company in his capacity as representative of the Chicago Northwestern. which holds a large amount of Union Pacific preferred stock. the Harriman party were to exer cise an influential voice in the -New York Central affairs in the future, it vas believed that ex-Judge Lovett would have beer, named as Mr. Harri man s successor in the directorate of that company. NO INCREASE NEEDED. Investigation In Washington Shows No Ground lor iliguer Rates. Washington. Oct. IS. Commissioner E. E. Williamson, of the Receivers and Shippers' association, of Cincinnati, is here attending the meeting of the southern-classification committee in the interest of his organization. He also has been -making a very careful study of the statistical records of the inter state' commerce commission, the Infor mation thus gleaned to be used at the conference of commercial, organizations to be held at Cincinnati October 19. This conference was caHWd because C. C. McCain, chairman of the Trunk Line Railroad association, is -advocating ap proximately a 10 per cent advance in freight rates in official classification territory. The shipping interests claim they de sire to be absolutely fair with the car riers, and are proceeding with deliber ation to a 'study of the records and sta tistics in order to determine whether the contentions of Mr. McCain, that freight rates must be advanced or rail way wage3 reduced, are borne out by the carriers' eworn statements of the result of their operations to the inter state commerce commission. In the opinion of Commissioner Williamson, after his investigation so far, the car riers' own figures refute rather than sustain Mr. McCain's argument for the advance in rates. OVER THE KATY TRACKS. Railroad Board Orders Street Car Co., to Cross Katy at Parsons. For the -second time the state board of railroad commissioners' have or dered the Parsons street railway to build its line under the Missouri. Kan sas Texas railroad crossing in that city and this new order will have to be obeyed or a little legal liniment will be' applied. The street railway company wanted to build under the Katy tracks some time ago and the Katy balked. Then the board ordered the Katy to allow the crossing. The Katy could do nothing but consent. Then the mayor of the city and the counenmen mixed on the proposition. The councilmen thought it all right for the crossing to be made but the mayor had ideas of his own and he vetoed the ordinance and succeeded in winning over a councilman to stand up for his cause. Now the board orders the street railway to build the crossing "and it must be done per orders. The street car tracks go to both sides of the Katy and the passengers get off the cars, and walk over to the other car which awaits them. It is an incon venience and a nuisance and the citi zens are kicking.

According to Julius Kruttschnitt, director of opera tion and maintenance of the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific lines and the allied Harriman interests, the freight movement of the country is greater than ever before. "Our reports," said Mr. Krutt schnitt, "show that traffic of the rail roads for October this year will con siderably exceed that of October, 1907, when it had reached its high water mark. We have not yet re duced it to terms of percentage, but sufficient data are now in hand to sub stantiate my statement. "This is an indisputable sign that the country has fully recovered from the industrial and financial depression that followed the disastrous panic of two years ago. Morever. It snows beyond oouoi that everybody is at work and that our marvelous productive capacity has resumed its normal efficiency." HAS LECTURE DATES.

Bradstreet's says: Improvement is the order of the day in trade, collections and industry. Cold er weather, freezing temperatures, light snows or killing frosts, coupled with freer crop movement, have ietped re tail trade and collections at the west and northwest, while lower tempera tures and high prices and free market ing of cotton have helped distribution at the south. Jobbing trade has been coincidently be-fited by reorderln- to fill broken stocks and the distributive trade sidi accordingly presents a favorable ap pearance. The tendency of cotton goods is undeniably upward, and buy ing appears slightly more confident at the higher prices asked. From industrial lines the same story of full order books and of longer hours now comes, pay rolls are expanding and available skilled labor is reported closely employed, with less idleness noted than for two years past. The coal trade shows more activity, though prices are still complained of as too low and there is a greater scarcity of cars noted.

The State Bank of Scottsville wa broken into at 3:30 this morning and cur repcy to tne amount of $3,900 wag taken from the safe. Ten distinct ex plosions took place, and from the character of the work it is thought to nave been a cans of amateur cracks men. An examination of the work of tne cracksmen indicates that nitro Mycerin was used by the bandits In their work. The robbers made their escape and are being pursued by a posse witn Dlooahounds and autos. Del Birth, the cashier of the- bank fs awakened by the explosions and was the first man to arrive on the scene of the robbery. He found the safe cracked open and $2,900, which was easy of access after the door had been cracked, was gone. No clue of the robbers has as yet been, found. Tho county sheriff arrived from Beloit at an earlv hour this morn Ing and immediately started in pursuit or tne roDDers, taking a posse of cltl gens with him. The party is making im pursuit in automobiles. No evidence was left to indicate the direction taken by the robbers, al though the sheriff's party went south. as that seemed the most likely direc tion for the robbers to make their es cape. -Bloodhounds were brought here to. day and these took up a scent and went outn. XMOt the slightest clue has been found to Indicate any of the personnel or tne party. Messages have been sent all over the state to county and city officers and all this section of the state has been asked to keeD a watchful eye out lor suspicious characters. This is one of a long series of safe robberies which has taken place in Scottsville within the past few months. The postofflce, the depot and most of Tije stores have at different times been broken into, but In none of the other robberies was much money lost. "The different safe-cracking ex ploits in this town have all been done by amateurs, at least their work in dicates it. The officers have not been able to find any traces of the Identity of the criminals in any of the former hold-ups. The general sup position is that the same gang is im plicated in all of the robberies, and that the gang is made up. of amateurs who do not live outside of Mitchell county. The State bank of Scottsville, is one of the strongest banks in the county. Han Danberg is president of the bank and Del Birth is cashier. TAFT'S ADVICE. (Continued from.

I might have had some other impression if I had not come through a territory that inti mated to me that there were nponle on this side of the line that had the May same views that they had with LAKD reference to becoming a state, but that they prelerred to have each com munity work out its own salvation.

The president was later entertained at a banquet at the Alvarado hotel by the commercial club. Following the banquet the president stopped half an hour at the Montezuma ball, an annual function It was at Laguna. a township made up entirely of Indians, that the presi dent was met by a local committee of Indians and where he had one of the most unique entertainments of his trip. As he sat in a little canopied a' and In the plaza, enclosed with adobe huts and walls the president was showered with presents. There were blankets, of gaudy color, Indian beads and other of-j ferings which the red men had fashioned in his honor. The plaza itself, the walls and the terraced roofs of the adobe houses were lined with Indians, the squaws being attired in fantastic costumes which showed all the brighter under the glare of an unclouded sun. There was hardly a squaw in the Pueblo that did not have a bright-eyed papoose eitner in ner arm or swung in a hammock on ner back.

I hope that the Indians whom I am ad dressing are working industriously in the vocation which they know, agri culture and in other branches of in dustry.

REBUKES POLITICIANS. SOUTHERN AURORAL DISPLAY TODAY. Taft Makes Pointed Rejoinder on Sub ject of Statehood. Albuquerque, N. M., Oct. 16. In the closing minutes of the banquet which was tendered to him here last night President Taft took occasion to rebuke some local speakers Who had madi some rather testy remarks on the sub ject of statehood. They had expressed some doubt if the Republican party really was going to grant statehood to New Mexico and Arizona despite the earnest declarations the president had made on that subject In an earlier speech here during the afternoon. They had argued and harangued for two hours while the president sat patiently listening. Then he arose and declared that he was like a 3udge he once knew who, at the end of a long argument by counsel, remarked: "Mr. Wolfe, in spite of your argu ment I am still with you." A. B. Pall, former attorney general of the territory, was one of the speak ers. He said New Mexico might "pos- siDiy- De admitted now that the Rs publican party had entered into a "con tract on the subject." "For," he asserted in ringing notes, "if the party had not agreed to admit us to the Union. theGomners antl- injunction plank would surely have oeen written into tne platform." The president answered this sharnlv. "Lest it may go down without con tradiction," he said, "I want to say there was never any chance of the passage of what Mr. Gomners reauest- ed in the Republican convention. The resolution that I wanted passed on the suDject of injunctions was defeated, and a resolution milder in form was put in. That is history and I don't want history to be recorded other than we understood It to be." Mr. Fall said the people of Arizona "were fools" not to come In under a Joint statehood act when they had i chance. He also spoke of the right of New Mexico to statehood. "It is a right when it is accorded you," 6aid the president, "and it is not a right until it is accorded you. T "The gentleman across the table used the term 'possible' as If he still sus pects my sincerity and good will. Well, of course, a man can not do any more "'in piuimae ana tnsn try ana carry it out.
