Fairchild who dealt out ad vice in copious quantities. Mr. Fairchild's Address. "Read, read," said Superintendent Fairchild, "and make a careful study of the whole school problem in your county, out ao not confine it to your county alone. Be sure that you have a clear conception of what you want to accomplish. Let your ideals be definite and clear and let nothing jlivert your attention or your efforts to accomplish your tasK. "Finally, remember that the highest function of our schools is to make good citizens, and that a great responsibility rests upon your shoulders. Be leaders in All that is good, and in all tha.. means toetter rchools. better homes, and wiser school administration. Superintendent John F. Ebv. of To peka, gave a talk on "Reading How to Secure Better Results." which proved of mucn interest to tne teachers present. What was considered the most im portant discussion of the morning was in regard to the teaching of ethics in the schools. This topic was handled by supermini ueiii .c. ancK. or Stock ton. "I believe that the movement which has been started in the schools injre spect to the teaching of ethics has ta ken dee" root. I do not Intimate that the subject has not been taught In the schools before but we want to teach the subject in a new. spirit. We must have the boys and girls live up to cer tain principles of ethics. Superintendent Fairchild strongly en- ttorsed the movement for the general study of the subject in the schools. Duri Ing the course of his address he gave the following poem oi wait Whitman s: AN OLD; MAN'S THOUGHT OF SCHOOL. Qrv- a lot of boys and girls? Only the tiresome spelling, writing, ciphering classes? Only a Public school? Oh more, infinitely more; (As George Fox raised his warning err: "Is it this pile of brick and mortar, these dead floors, windows, rails you call the church? Why this is not the church at all the church is ever living, ever living souls i And you, America. Cast you the real reckoning for your present The lights and shadows of your future good or evil?

Taf t Continues to Insist on This in Speeches Before Southern Audiences, Re ferring to His Trip. KEEP THE TRADITIONS But Giye Up Sectionalism Is His Plea. Parade in Birmingham Includes 300 Automobiles. Birmingham. Ala,. Nov. 3. In his public utterances here today. President Taft continued to give voice to his hope of winning the south to closer union in commerce, sympathy and sen timent with the states of the north. In doing this, he declared he would not have the south give up one of her noble traditions not abfcte in any de gree the pride she feels in those who represented her in the civil war. Wherever he went today the presi dent was received by enthusiastic crowds and it is growing more and more evident that his welcome in the south Is probably the most cordial he has received in any section of the country. The president likes to repeat to the cheers of the people the state ment that his visit is without politi cal significance and that he accepts the welcome of the south in the came broad spirit. During his stay in Birmingham, the president has learned much of the won derful growth of the city and of the development of the great coal and iron district. He declared today that he al ways thought of Birmingham as one of the group of cities, like Atlanta. Pittsburg, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle and Los Angeles, "that do things." Birmingham, said the president. "because of her cosmopolitan character and because she is becoming more and more aware of how close she is to the rorth and how close she is to the entire country in a business way is influencing the south to believe that this country is ceasing to have sections, not ceasing to have traditions. And there is a distinc tion I would like to make as emphatic as possible. Sections and Traditions. "I would not have the south give up a single one of her noble traditions. I would not have her abate a single bit of the deep pride she feels in all her great heroes that represented her in that awful struggle between the north and south, but I would have the whole country know, as I believe the south is growing" herself -to know, that it is possible to preserve all those traditions intact and have a warm and deeply loyal love of the- old flag to which she has come back, and to know that the north respects her for those traditions she preserves and does not ask to dis card one, but only wishes to unite with hr in the benefits of a common cause, and of a sympathy and a situation be tween the peoples of the two sections that would certainlv lead us on to great er and greater future. Governor Comer, of Alabama, who favors the proposal to put state wide prohibition in the constitution, came in for a lot of good natured chaff at the "cold water" banquet tendered the president last night. The governor said that Birmingham usually got from her visitors anything they had that Birm ingham wanted. AH Become Funny. He said the president might leave several choice federal positions here so that he might fill the vacancies on the supreme court bench from the Birm ingham bar. "And we understand you want a minister to China," he continued. "Mr. President, you might give that to me." At this sally the hall fairly- shook with cheers and laughter that con tinued for five or six minutes. Presi dent Taft in his speech, said he never heard such approbation of a suggestion for public office before, and Secretary of War Dickinson declared, amii shouts of laughter, that it reminded him of the old fellow who addressed a letter to the president of the united States, saying: "Tolly asks me to writ: vou to eet him a 'furrin" (foreign) ap pointment. You know Tolly as well as AND THE EGG I do, so the 'furriner" the appointment, the better I'd like it." President Taft and the party arose early today at the Hillman hotel and the local committees were on hand and ready to begin'the-day's-strenuous pro gram. K At 8:30 this morning-: the president was driven to .the Country club, where breakfast was served. r Reviews Big Parade. About noon began the parade, ons of the largest ever seen in Birming ham, composed of commercial, civic and fraternal organizations, school children and three hundred automo biles. German ar.d Italian societies turned out with native and American Hags floating. As the presidential party passed the Paul Hayne school, on the south side, several hundred children sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie," eliciting a pleased smile from the president. The president after riding through the city's business section at the head of the parade, took his position on the reviewing stand in front of the Southern club, the fashionable dub of the city and the parade passed in re view. Luncheon was served after ward at the club. This afternoon the president deliv ered an address in Capitol park. While on the way to the Country club today President Taft stopped at the residence of General Rufus N. Rhodes, editor of the Birmingham News and director of the Associated Press, who is seriously ill. The presi dent alighted from his car and ex pressed to Mrs. Rhodes his regret at not seeing General Rhodes at the ban quet last night and also extended sym pathy, lor nis illness. CAUGHT IN THE ACT Murderer Arrested as He Drove Dag ger Into Prostrate Victim. Newark, N. J., Nov. 3. The police caught John Madolon driving a dagger into an unknown man prostrated on the sidewalk of Bloomfield avenue early this morning- Although two of ficers rushed up and grabbed the as sailant, his victim had by that time been fatally stabbed and died on the way to a hospital. Madolon and Joseph Welle, a voune man who had been standing calmly by watching the killing, were both ar rested. BRITISH CONSUL HERE Is Now Ready to Assume His Duties in Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 3. Horace Dickinson Nugent, successor of Alexander Finn as British consul to Chicago, arrived yesterday to assume his duties. Mr. Nugent for 17 years was consul at Galveston, Texa Thomas Erskinev who has been in charge of the Chlcaeo consulate since the departure of Mta Finn, left last night for St. Louis to take charge of the consulate there. DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE. Fire a Bomb and Shoot Up the Town of Jackson, Ky. Jackson, Ky.. Nov. 3. Although a dynamite bomb was exploded and thousands of shots were fired last night, only walls and plaster were dam aged. Several persons in their homes had narrow escapes as bullets ploughed through walls and windows. D. B. Redwine, Democrat, apparently has carried the county by 350 votes for circuit judge over J. P. Adams, the in cumbent. The other Democratic can didates for all offices also appear to be in the lead. During last night's wild celebration, the soldiers from Cynthiana were sta tioned on the public square here, but it is reported that they possessed not a supplies from Lexington today, suplies from Lexington today. Today the military here was rein forced by the arrival of the Lexington soldiers, who were stationed at Crock ettsville yesterday. The band of moun taineers was also reinforced. Attracted by the election reports which are being received here, they were riding into Jackson all day. As they learn the fate of each candidate tonight, they probably will follow their custom of firing numberless reckless shots. HAS HATCHED! PLAN lUDOPTf D Commission Wins in Topeka hy 497 Majority. Both Women and Men Tote Show Majorities. BEATEN IN TWO WARDS First and Second Tote Against the Change- Less Than FiTe Thousand Totes Are Cast. The commission plan of city ad ministration was adopted by a major ity of 497 votes, and Topeka will dis card a system of rule which was hand ed down by our forefathers and does not meet the requirements of the pres ent day, for one that will put the mu nicipal affairs on a business basis. It was not until the final returns were in at 9 o'clock that the oppon ents of the new plan were willing to believe that they were defeated. The total vote was 4,787 represent ing about 65 per cent of those who were registered or a little more than a fourth of the total vote of this city. The percentage of the women who voted for the commission plan was slightly in excess of that in connection with the vote of the men, 542 women voting for the plan and 316 against, while 2,110 men voted for and 1,828 against. The first returns to come in were from the First ward and as the vot ing, was against the commission plan there was rejoicing-in the camp of those who opposed the proposition, as they began to believe that their chances were good' to win the day, but as the returns commenced to come In from the various other wards their faces gradually became somewhat elongated. As was anticipated in the State Journal yesterday both the First and the Second wards voted against com mission government. In the Third ward every precinct carried, while in the First ward all precincts were against a change in municipal affairs. The voting in the First ward was es pecially light or otherwise the fight would have been still more closely contested. The colored voters did not turn out to the polls in the numbers which the opposition forces were anticipating, but those who did vote for the most part were not in favor of commission government for various reasons. One of these was that on account of the fact the system originated in Galves- -ton.- Texas; they -believed that the colored women did not vote because against. Another was that stiff ex aminations would bar many of them from holding jobs. A number of the coloerd women did not vote because there was no effort made in the way or conveying tnem to the voting places. Another element which was against the new plan was the corporation em ployes, and also the old men who have become imbued with the idea that what was good enough for them is surely good enough for the younger generation, not realizing that civic conditions have changed in the past few years. The fact was revealed during the day that there are hundreds of voters in ftie city who are still not informed in regard to the plan which has been adopted, and that they voted against it simply on account of a lack of in formation. The Commercial club which was di recting the campaign, handled affairs in a most systematic way.. Fifteen automobiles, which were loaned for the occasion by friends of the commis sion plan, were kept busy all day car rying voters to the polls. Great credit is due in this respect to several wo men who put forth untiring and most successful efforts in behalf of com mission government. No Commercial Club Slate. In speaking of the campaign yester day Secretary George Badders of the Commercial club said: "I am greatly pleased with the result. The Com mercial club is interested in seeing this plan given a fair trial in Topeka. We believe the plan will result in a decided improvement in many depart ments of our civic government. It is now up to the people to select good men as commissioners. The Com mercial club has not and will not in dorse any man or men for these positions. It is important that good men be selected so that the plan be given a fair and honest trial." First Ward. For. Against.

The most ac tive business of this season and prob ably in the history of the trade was reported, in the New York ootton ex change today. Prices made new high records at the start, owing to sensa tional gains in English and southern markets while New York was closed vesterday, but reports that Mr. Patten was selling out his Interests at an esti mated profit of nearly $3,000,000 caused tremendous realizing all along the line and a break of nearly $1.50 a bale. Around $14.74 for January and $14.91 for March, however, southern bull leaders, led by W. P. Brown, en tered the market as enormous buyers end aided by claims that Patten had denied the story of his liquidation, the prices quickly recovered their losses, January advancing tc $15.01 and March to $15.19, or 8 to 13 points above Monday's close.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1909. DRURY WLL TRY. Strong Missouri Team Will Meet St. Marys Friday. Catholics Will Hare One of Their Hardest Contests. CHANGES IX LINE-UP New Material Showing Up Well, Says Quigley. Brosnan Has Been Replaced By Byrnes. St. Marys, Kan., Nov. 3. The local quad has been put to the limit in the past three days as it Is known here that the Drury team is no small pump kins in the southern portion of the Mis souri valley and the locals are out to make a good showing against tho southerners. This is the first time that a team from so far south has in vaded the Catholic camp and it is the Intention of the local coach and the squad to have them leave with the ut most respect for the brnnd of football played by the Kansans. That there may be no slips in the of fense of the Catholics they are being wnrkffd mornine and evening and yes terday the day's work was topped off with a fast jog around the mile and a half track, where the speed or tne local team is developed. Yesterday's work consisted of a morning's signal work and in the afternoon there was a regulation game of two 30 minute halves with the re serves, in which the varsity scored o4 points, during which time their goal was not crossed, in fact the reserves could not gain at all. Changes in Uneup. There have been many changes in the lineup since Kansas was played at Lawrence just a month ag6. Brosnan, who was the big man at the pivotal Job, has been replaced by Byrnes, the big high school boy from Emporia. Malone and Cahalan, the two heavy weights in the squad, are still at tho guard positions, while at tackle several changes also have been made. For the Drury game Routh, a fast tackle, has been put behind the line at left half and the way he is showing up would make most any coach smile at the ut terance of his name. This man who was not even thought of at the begin ning of the season, first made a tackle lose his job and after having the tackle position laid away showed such form in carrying the ball that Quigley immediately saw that he was a find and started to make a backfield man out of him. That he has made a good one goes without saying as he has been at that position in every scrim mage. Mooney and Byrnes, who according to Quigley, have no equals in the entire Missouri valley, are at the ends and are showing their usual good form. It la simply guesswork to predict who will cali the plays in the Drury game as the coach does not seem to be satisfied with the playing of any of the men at. I didn't find out I had contracted Contagious Blood Poison until it had made considerable headway. I had heard a great deal of the value of S. S. S. as a blood medicine, in fact had a friend who had cured himself of the same disease through its use, so as soon as I discovered the nature of my trouble I began taking it. I got along splendidly from the very first and my recovery was steady. When I first began the use of S. S. S. my face was so full of sores and eruptions that I could not shave. Other parts of my body were similarly affected, but there is now not a blotch, pimple or any other sign of the disease. I was cured by S. S. S. and I know I am cured to stay cured as this was several years ago. There is nothing that equals S. S. S. for Contagious Blood Poison and I always recommend it in such cases. "WALTER WEBER. No. 430 Fourth St., Evansville, Ind. The acknowledged virtue of S. S. S. as a blood remedy induced Mr. Weber to commence its use when he found he had contracted Contagious Blood Poison. The good results he obtained is just another demonstration of its value as a cure for this disease. Contagious Blood Poison is the most powerful and destructive of all blood disorders. Its virus permeates the entire circulation and this explains why any one afflicted with this malady usually finds its symp toms manifested in every portion of the body. From head to foot the insidious poison breaks forth. The hair and eyebrows come out, the mouth and throat ulcerate, skin eruptions and sores and ulcers break out on the body, the bones ache, glands in the groin swell, and frequently the nails on hands and feet are affected. The only possible way to cure Contagious Blood Poison is to remove the cause by purifying the blood. This is just what S. S. S. does; and it is the only medicine that absolutely and thoroughly cleanses the circulation of evef y particle of the germs and virus of the disease.

Claimed Coach Cole's Team Played 'Possum in Doane Game. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 3. Were the Cornhuskers playing possum against the Doane collegians last Saturday or was their rank exhibition of iootDau the result of disorganization ana in ability to do any better? Did the Ne braskans purposely stull, on instruc tions from their mentor. King Cole, or did they exhaust all of their energies bv scorine only two touchdowns on Doane a secondary aggregation? These are questions decidedly perti nent in the Nebraska camp this week for the Kansas game, toward which the Cornhuskers have been pointing all season, is only a few days distant, and on the answer hinges all of Nebraska's chances for the victory. There are loyal boosters in the Ne braska camp, and they are not slow in declaring that Cole and his pupils had a purpose in tightening the checkrein in the Doane game;, that Tub Reed, a former Kansas guard, was in the stands, watching every move the Corn huskers made, and that the Kansas scout may play into Nebraska's hands by returning to Lawrence with tales of weakness In the Cornhusker ranks, inspiring- the Jayhawkers with an over confidence which may prove disastrous lo the Kansans when they face Ne braska next Saturday on the gridiron. Meanwhile Cole is saying nothing, not even admitting discouragement ovar the Doane fiasco, adding to the uncer tainty with reference to the true sit uation in the Nebraska camp. Taking both theories into account, weighinK one against the other, here is the dope: If the Cornhuskers turned their best trick against Doane they will be worst ed by the Jayhawkers by an over whelming score, but if they were hang, ing back under wraps, the Jayhawks will have on their hands their stiffest battle of the year. Ex-Captain Harvey Cole's assistant saw the Jayhawkers in action against Washburn in Topeka last Saturday and returned to Lincoln with his pockets bulging from notes on the Kansas at tack. These plays have been adopted by the two freshmen teams and are be ing used by them in the scrimmage with the varsity. Harvey relates that the Jayhawkers have another superb football machine, fully as formidable and husky as a year ago, and that the Cornhuskers, if they are to win, must show better football than in any pre- specific effect in purifying the blood.

The annual football duel between the elevens of Georgetown and University of Ford ham college was fought Tuesday at American .league, park before- 5,uuo spectators. The game ended with a draw, neither side scoring. George town was once in striking distance of a goal from the field in the first half. The opportunity was neglected, how ever, and the ball was lost to Ford ham. In the second -Georgetown made an ineffectual- attempt to overcome the weight advantage of their oppon ents by forward passes, two of which netted gains of forty yards, but the Fordham college were superior in line work. Captain Dalley of the George town team was hurt and had to retire from the game. Pat Donovan to Manage Boston. Boston, Nov. 3.

THE OLD REBEL YELL As It Has Not Been Heard for Tears, Greets Him. Discusses "Woman Suffrage at Girls' Industrial School. Birmingham, AIa Nov. 3. President Taft's campaign for "winning the south to a closer union with the states of the north" was In full swing when the chief executive reached here at 7:35 o'clock last night. At his various stops in Mississippf, culminating at Colum bus, the old home of Secretary of War Dickinson, the president had called out the cheers of the pe"bple by his declara tion of friendship to the south and by the repeated statement that his visit was without political significance. The old rebel yell was heard in Col umbus as the president spoke as it has not been heard in years. The pretty little town was crowded to the bursting point with excursionists. President Taft's address from a stand erected on May street was punctured with cheers. In speaking of his desire to bring the southern people closer to ineir neignbors of the north and west, President Taf L declared that the cordial reception he has thus far received has convinced him that the southern people are willing to come more than half way in the encouragement of that senti ment. Secretary Dirklnsnn in a. Knppr.h at Columbus declared that as 'a judge of the federal court with a jurisdiction ex tending into the southern states. Presi dent Taft came to know much of the characters, the aims and ambitions of the southern people and was nearer to them in this regard than was Grover Cleveland, who was elected by their suffrage. Guest of Birmingham. The president is to be the guest of Birmingnam until 4 o clock this after noon. His entertainment began with a banquet presided over by United States Senator R. F. Johnston, and at whicn the speakers included Governor Comer. James Bowron. R. N. Rhodes. J. B. Rabb, Secretary of War Dickinson and the president. When he arrived in this city Mr. Taft was met by Mayor O Brien and a committee of citizens. The streets about the depot and leading from there to the hotel were thronged. The president has entirely recovered his voice he Ic-st in Texas. In addition to declaring his good will to the DeoDle of the south he had a few words to say. with reference to marriase and woman s suitrage wnen he was surrounded on tne campus or the Mississippi girls' industrial insti tute and college by 800 as pretty girls as could be found in all tha south, and who. afterwards helped to serve the president, his party and the citizens of Columbus, the first barbecue of the presidential tour. "I venture to tninK. ne went on, that the best legacy that can be left to a young man is a gooa education and a" good character by training in a family to good moral standards and nothing else. Fair Chance for Women. "The same thins is true with respect to the young women who are given a fair chance in life in earning and carving out her own future. The great rouble has been that we have not given the woman a fair show. We have not opened all the avenues to livelihood that they are quite as well able to fill and in certain respects bet ter able to fill than we are. "T am not a rabid suffragist. Tne truth is. I am not in favor of suffrage for women until I can be convinced that all the women desire It and wnen they desire it. I am in favor of giving itto them, and when they desire it they will get it, too. But I do believe one of the advantages in giving them that kind of influence will be more cer tain to open avenues of self support to them than heretofore has been done. "I shall be glad that I shall not have any property to leave to my boys of whom I have two, but only a good character and a pride in themselves and a good education, but for my daughter I am going to scrape together as much as I can give ner ana as gooa in education as I can so that she shall take in the lesson which I first sought to announce as the text or my dis course, that she shall marry only when she chooses to marry and not because oi circumstances." In his personal address at Columbus after paying a tribute to Secretary Dickinson, President Taft said: "I am glad to be in the city of your great General Lee. I am indeed sprry it was not given to me to meet him in person and receive that kindly, gentle influence that he shed wherever he moved. My friends, one can not come before a southern audience, being a northern man, without having a mem ory of that which is in the past and he can not come in the capacity in which I comj as your presment, wnn out thanking God that the past is over not that we are attacking what the past is. but that we have passed through that awful trial on both sides that certified to the world the fibre of our natures and the strength of our American people. "You are not in favor of war and I am not in favor of war, and we will never seek it if we can in any honor able way avoid it. but in the history of nations, when war becomes inevit able and puts to trial the manhood, the courage, the self sacrifice of a nation, hard and hellish as war is, the test 13 one to which a people may look back with pride and with thanks to God that they survived the test and showed themselves worthy of enjoying the blessing of such a government as ours. "Now, you southern .people are an emotional people. .We have some emo tions in the north, too, but if there is any difference, your hearts expand more easily and you are more sensitive, possibly, than we are. In order to un derstand the southern people, especially with respect to issues of the war and what grew out of it in order to under stand their present position one must know that your hearts and emotions are broad enough to entertain entire loyalty to the issues of the past, which you fought so nobly to sustain, and en tire loyalty to our present government for which you would be willing to lay down your life if occasion required it. "Now, that is what I know the south ern nature to be and that is why I come and appeal to you, if appeal is necessary, and I, don't believe it is, tr uphold the hands of an administration that is not seeking your votes, but is asking your supaort and sympathy NORTH SIDE NEWS Navajos lyill Not Accept Free Government Rations For Fear That Their Lands Will Be Forfeited. BECOMING CITIZENS. C. G. Graden, Durango, Col., Tells of Indian Tribes. Other Items of Interest .About North Side Affairs. C. G. Graden of Durango, southwest Colorado, who is visiting his mother. Mrs. La vina Graden, of 1102 Kansas avenue, this morning told many inter esting things about the Navajo Indians whose reservation is not Jar from his home. He also spoke of the mining in dustries of that country. "A Navajo Indian near Durango, will not accept a cent from the government in the way of rations, etc., unless they earn it. They are afraid of forfeitln their lands if they do so although, of course, tnis is a mistaken idea. "They are very jealous of the owner. ship of their land and I believe that it Is the poorest an least desirable ter. ritorv on earth. "It is just a' sandy desert, without a stream for miles. The natives depend on mountain streams for their water supply. And it Is into these mountains that they drive their goats and sheep. "What the Navajo goats and sheep live on is a mystery although of course a little grass comes up In the spring. and the Indians drive their flocks to the mountains for pasturage. The sheep and goat are the chief sources of revenue for the Navajos. The famous Navajo blankets are made from the wool. One of these blankets will last an ordinary family a life time. I bousrht a blanket when I first went there about twenty years ago and have used it constant ly but it Is nearly as good as new now. Gloves are made from the skin of these goats. "Several Navajo schools are locate! near Durango. The newest school, near Ship Rock station, is. only about seven years old. About two hundred Indians are in attendance. Some of them are very intelligent and learn quickly. They make good ranch hands also. I think tney will make sood citizens. "This is more than I can say for the Apacnes wno are located near us. Thev are not much account. The Apaches I have reference to were members of the Dana under direct control of Geronimo the chief who would never surrender for good. When that warrior was cap tured tne last time and put into prison, his band was brought to the reservation they now occupy under surveuance or a sort of a patrol called tne Indian police. "To come back to the Navains: must tell you about their work in sil ver. They will melt up silver coins and spoons- and make fine ornament from them. They hunt out turquoise and use stones for sets in rings of their own make. This, sort of jewelry Is quite the fad in Durango, so it is not an uncom mon sight to see a young man decked out ror dress with as many rings and bracelets as an Indian chief. "What are the chief occupations? Mining and ranching. Gold and silver are found as well as coal. "As to where the name 'Ship Rock is taken, out on the desert, many mites from any other rock, is a cliff shaped like a sea going vessel. From the base to its highest point it is about 240 feet. On a clear day, I am told, it can be seen from Durango over 100 miles if a per son knows just where to look for it." Community Comment.

Now that Topeka is invaded by schoolma'ms, stenographers and sales women will be at a discount." says a Jackson street beauty judge. "Since Chief Eaton has handed down his opinion about lightheaded women, it is prooabie that peroxide will dec-line in price." is the observation of a North side man who studies the flucruatings of the markets. "A Salina man spent considerable time in elucidating a theory as to the cause of thunder, and a newspaper of that town gave it considerable space.

Tha new Santa Fe shop office build ing will cost in the neighborhood of 1100,000. It is thought that before the building is completed it will cost con siderably more than 'this.

The rumor that the Santa Fe will extend from Chanute to Joplin at once by using the tracks of the Kansas City Southern between Pittsburg and Jop lin. has been revived. The recent trip of General Manager Hurley over the line was the probable inspiration. The Santa Fe has two ways of reaching Joplin from Pittsburg; it can make a traffic arrangement with the Frisco or the Southern, or it can build a ltne of its own. It is understood that the Southern has offered to sell to the Santa Fe the right to use its line. Superintendent J. L.

Is an evidence that the busi ness conditions are getting back In the former prosperous channels. While the crops were not up to 100 per cent In all sections of the country, yet they are great enough to produce a heavy traffic and to stimulate busi ness In general. There is no overpro duction in any line of agricultural products, and as manufacturing inter ests have resumed with their old-time vigor, conditions look encouraging for the transportation systems of the country. It is the general impression that all commercial interests will en joy an unusually prosperous year in 1190. Railway Review. FOX AS AX ENGINEER. How the General Superintendent Solved 8-Hour Law Problem. "The policy of the Santa Fe is to advance its men whenever there is an opening," said a company employe this morning. "The secret is that ev ery man in a position of trust has been proven and found to be efficient, and that it is a safe proposition to give him something better. This is espec ially the case in the operating depart ment where it is the rule that every official 'knows the business from the ground up.' Take a little incident that occurred recently. General Superin tendent Fox, his secretary, and Assist ant Superintendent McNally were on the line with a special, and at some point ran against the 8-hour law. The crew couldn't turn another wheel had to take hands off right there and of course it'wouldn't do to' leave the equipment on the track. Ordin arily the plight would be made known to headquarters and a relief engine dispatched to bring in the train. But not for the competent officials in that bunch. "Bill," said Mr. Fox to his sten ographer, "you run this train. Mac and I will look to the front end." "The regular crew was sent to the private car where they lolled at ease, Mr. Fox took the right side of the engine and grasped the throttle, and the division superintendent grabbed a shovel and merrily scattered coal into the fire-box. That train went to a terminal on time." FRISCO KEEPS I P TO SCHEDULE. Reports to State Railroad Board on Running Trains.

Had Many High Ideals and Has Lived Up to Them. NEVER HAD A SALOON First Public Gathering Was Held July 4th, 1871. Is "Best Place on Earth and the Nearest to Heaven." Jewell City, Kan.. Nov. 3. The pioneers who have been privileged to witness the growth and development of Jewell City from the day the first load of lumber was placed upon the townsite until the present day, have seen a most wonderful transformation. xne early seiners were an enj thusiastic determined people who were Will Be I-et Monday. imbued with that religious fervor, in spiring courage and devotion to the higher ideals in life and promptly dis continuing all those things which are degrading in influence. Almost all of the business men and a large majority of the clerks own their own homes and take pride in keeping them well painted and In good repair. The sentiment of the people is al most universally emphatic in the in terest of education and reliirion as the five churches and their commodious parsonages, the large and elegant wen equipped scnool nouses be testi mony. The town has never tolerated a saloon. t In its earliest history long before me proniDitory amendment was adopted, a saloon was opened for business and almost as promptly it was put out or Dusiness. Jointists have been prosecuted, fined and im prisoned. Hence Jewell City lays claim to Deinsr one of the neatest, most substantial and best towns in the wide world. And as our citizen who has been privileged to witness almost 40 years of its growth states: "Best place on earth and nearest to Heaven." Surrounded by a mag nificent productive country and in habited by the very highest tvpe of citizenship. Jewell City will continue to prosper. Has Population of 1,200. Jf-well City has a population close to 1,200 inhabitants. It has five churches aggregating a total value of $45,000. and the salaries paid the ministers is about $4,200 annually. This is a grand showing when it is remembered that the first public gathering in the town was on the 4th dayof July, 1871, when there were but a few settlers and soldiers present. It is historical of this gathering that the first public prayer in Jewell City was offered up at this gathering by John C. Postlethwaite, who yet re sides here. Among the old pioneers who came here and settled in the years of 1870 and 1871 there are Geo. B. Crandall, W. C. McClung. J. C. Postlethwaite, James Kelsey, sr.. J. M Hutchinson, Dr. O. W. Hughes, J. W. Berry, H. C. White, Wm. Ed wards, B. F. Wallace. O. A. Seaton and others. Little did these old pioneers, many of them representa tive business men.' realize then that such a future was In store for Jewell City as now exists here. And this year has witnessed a more friendly progressive and unanimous sentiment for everything good than has been known in Jewell City for many years. Jewell City Is Growing Rapidly. In public building enterprises Jewell City this year has outstripped any year !n her history. The improvements will aggregate about $150,000. Among the public enterprises there is her new school house at a cost of not less than $30,000, the First National bank block, $17,500; the Citizens' State bank, cost ing $15,000: Odd Fellows building, $8,000; addition to the Methodist church, $2,500; enlargement and other .mprovements of the Kelsey hotel, $2,000: electric theater, $1,500, be sides fully $15,000 has been invested in new residences. Miles of cement walks have been put down, and the work continues. It has been a year of great prosperity, and every Improve ment has been a necessity. In the midst of all this prosperity the two Jewell City banks have made a solendid record. The Citizens' State bank has deposits aggregating $111, 000. and the First National $350,000. The new school house is a beauty. It is three stories high, fireproof, and in every particular' is modern. There ere nine large recitation and school rooms, thoroughly ventilated, besides other rooms for the superintendent, li brary and janitor. Eight teachers are mployed. -It is one of the schools which has been designated as a normal training school. About $5,000 is paid out annually to the teachers. Jewell City has a flouring milL It will bear inspection, too. It is neat and clean outside and interior as well. In a business point of view Jewell City will not take a back seat for any town. Her merchants are doing busi ness in good brick houses, no fire traps in this town. Buildings of this knd have always been characteristic of the cusiiiefis xiien. ui jencii uny 'SYRACUSE A DAIRY CENTER. One Woman Has Marketed Nearly $1,000 Wort b. of Butter. Syracuse, Kan.. Nov. 3. Heretofore Hamilton county has not make much reputation for dairy products, but during the last two years Syracuse has advanced remarkably as a dairy cen ter, supporting two cream stations outside of the local establishments. As an example of what is being done in butter making we might mention Mrs. Mike Yonally,, residing some nine miles north of Syracuse, who makes and markets an excellent quality of butter every week and is right now receiving 30 cents per pound for all of about forty pounds per week. During three years ending August 1, 1909, Mrs. Yonally has made and sold a total of .3.945 pounds by actual count a record being kept each week. This amounts to $986.25 actual value received in exchange and cash, never taking less than 25 cents per pound and usually unable to supply the de mand for her product. An average of from eleven to six teen cows were milked, and with the exception of fall and winter, during which time some grain was fed. they subsisted on the native buffalo and graTmma grasses. To gather the cream fresh and sweet a separator is used and during the summer ice is used to solidify the finished product. Absolute cleanliness is maintained, and the butter is pressed Into sixteen ounce bricks creamery size and shape, and the name "Yonallys" has become a guarantee for first class butter throughout Syracuse and vicinity.

Gentry, veterinarian, reports a great many cases of horses suffering from sore mouths, xne disease is wide spread and a number of animals have died within the past few days. The trouble is caused by "fox tail" THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness But Postum Always Means neaitn. Those who have never tried the ex periment of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place and in .-his way regaining health and happi ness can learn much from the experi ence of others who have made the trial. One who knows says: "I drank cof- lee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of indigestion producing days of- discomfort and nights of sleeplessness. I tried to give vd the use oi cotiee entirely Dutiouna it hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then l tnea .f ostum. "It was good and the effect was so rleasant that I soon learned to love it c-.nd have used it for several years. I improved immediately after I left off ct ffee and took on Postum and am now entirely cured of my indigestion and ther troubles all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and content er! and all because I changed from cof fte to Postum. "Postum is much easier to make right every time than coffee for it is so even and always reliable. We never use coffee now in our family. We use Postum and are always well." "There's a reason" and it is proved by trial. Look in pkgs for a copy of the fa mous little book, "The Road to Well-T-ille."

The wind blows' there occasionally tat of 1S5 miles an hour. Presumably there are no animals left in Africa which are worth killing. Col onel Roosevelt plans to leave that country sooner than he had Intended. New Tork Is not so superior to To reka after all. Milk is selling in the nation' metropolis for only a cent more per quart than it is retailed for ere. mmmmt Old Nature appears to be the one vho is responsible for the present cor ner in the cotton market. This Is tough luck. There' little aatisfaction In denouncing Nature. Even cannibals are not as particular as they should be. Reports from the Admiralty islands indicate that they eat Chinese with quite as much avidity as they do Englishmen. Another war of the opera bouffe type 1e in progress in South America. Sal vador md Nicaragua are now at it. Cne of them may possibly give the ether so much as a slap on the wrist before long. One of the famous prima donnas Is being sued by her husband for deser tion. She replies that the only founda tion for the charge rests in the fact that Bhe has refused to give him any more money. Surely, that's a aufflcent reason. mmmm Indications are to the effect that the year 1909 will take its place as one of the most prosperous In the his tory of the United States. And yet there are some folks who insist that there is nothing like a good prosperity prevailing these days. School authorities in New Tork and elsewhere are issuing edicts to compel the girl students to do away with rat3, puffs and other false hirsute append ages. As a corollary they should also crusade against the vivid socks which are worn by the school boys. It is no wonder that the disorder which has kept Thomas Benton Mur flock on a sick bed for a long time is of the nervous -variety. His task of being compelled to run an important snd expensive state department with out any funds would be apt to put the strongest of men in such a condition. Two more bombs, making thirty three in all, have been touched oft In Chicago, destroying much valuable property as well as endangering human life. It is thought that these bombs are being tossed about by factions in the gambling -fraternity In that city that are at war with each other. But if bomb throwing was indulged in on such a large scale in some European city, ray one in Ruseia, the newspapers in every civilised land would get black In the face with remonstrances against such outrages and would insist that the time had arrived for Intervention from the outside. It wasn't bo long ago that the city with Its own repair plant fixed up the asphalt pavement on Eighth avenue, east of Kansas avenue, and put it in really good condition. This was done by practically re-surfacing the entire street. But tne Edison company's marauding expedition started in on Tuesday to tear a long and wide hole In It, continuing the work of vandalism it began a few days ago on the new pave ment on West Eighth avenue. Such corporate effrontery has never been witnessed in this city before and steps should be taken at once to see that it can never occur again. According to Professor Georgeson, a special agent of the federal depart ment of agriculture, Alaska will be a l.ind -not only of ice fields and moun tains of gold but also of fair green rastures, wheat fields and pleasant pardena of fruit, flowers and vegeta bJes. That is Just what Kansas already i except as to the fields of Ice and the mountains of gold, and in reality the intter are few and far between even l.t Alaska. But the pile of gold that is made in Kansas each year through the sale of its voluminous crops makes the Alaskan output of the yellow metal look like thirty cents. That the erection of guide posts along the country roads would be most acceptable to all parts of the country is pointed out clearly and concisely by the Washington Star m the following words: "Country roads are becoming more and more to be public ways. The Increasing use of the automobile each year enables a growing number of per sons to use country roads, and to pene- trate farther and farther Into the land. The rural mail routes traverse nearly every country road la these parts, and as these are really post roads, It might not be a bad Idea If the postal au morales should promote some ample and uniform guide post system. The cost or construction and maintenance of guide posts would be trivial when compared to their usefulness. They would not alone be helpful to the stranger, but their legends would be In structive in many cases "to the na tives." A VALUABLE VICTORY. Future accomplishments in the ad ministration of Topeka's civic affairs will undoubtedly prove conclusively that the voters made no mistake yes terday when they registered their de cision ,to try the commission form of government. It is to be regretted that the vote was such a light one in pro portion to the population of the city, and that the majority which carried the day was not a larger one, although it was by no means small. A proposi tion of this sort ought to be adopted or rejected in a most emphatic manner. Still, it Is reasonable to assume that the vote as it was polled 13 representa tive to a fair degree of the sentiments of the entire people of the city, and on this basis if a full city vote had been cast the majority in favor of the plau would have been a handsome one. Now that this most important ques tion has been settled it Is Incumbent on every individual in the city to do his part to help the first trial of the com mission scheme of government on to the largest possible success. In this number should be all those who were' honestly opposed to the adoption of the plan. They lost in a fair fight and! they should let it go at that, as they pro'-'bly will, because all of them, for the most part," are public spirited citi zens of the right type. And the way to achieve the success desired is to make it a noint to select the best pos sible men for the commisslonerships. Five of them are to be elected. They are to have exclusive control of the management of the city. Their powers will be great. The more capable the men who are chosen, the better will be the results, for, regardless of the local criticism which was launched against I it of late, the commission method of government is superior In all ways to' the council and mayoralty plan and great things in the way of municipal rule of the efficient sort can be accom- plished under it. I Topeka has any number of men who are fitted for the tasks that the city la fact, there is some excellent timber of this sort In the present official fam ily of this city, men of experience and worth in the fields to which they might be called. It's a little early to diseusz candidates for the commission that will not come into existence for some months yet but it might not be a bad plan for the voters to keep this im portant matter In mind from now on, and if this Is done, by the time the pri maries and the election for the com missioners have come around the very best of the candidates will be chosen. Testerday was really -an epoch-mak ing one in the history of Topeka and perhaps it is not indulging in any fanciful prophecy to say that before a couple, of years have passed, most of the men who were so sincere in their opposition to the commission form of government will be among the loudest in its praise. That's the way things have worked out in other cities where a change to the commission plan has been brought about. ENGLAND AND GERMANY. "To the observant American travel ing in Europe these days one deep contrast is apparent," writes Gerhardt von Schulze-Gaevernitz. in the Amer ican Review of Reviews for November In an article entitled "England and Germany Peace or War?" "While the German people in almost un troubled peace is working out its economic task excitement has taken hold of our common cousins across tho channel, an excitement such as has not been known since the days of Napoleon. America,, the entire world, is askinr the question whether war between England and Germany ean still be avoided. As a German, who has given his whole life to the study of the political and economic organization of Great Britain. I should answer that question thus: Peace i3 Indeed endangered, but' war, a war that would let loose the worst elemental passions of men and set back social reform and all progress for a full generation, is not absolutely unavoidable. "Whence the real cause of this menace and talk of war? certainly not that the British Isles are threat ened by a German invasion, for in vasion, either by sea or air, is a sheer impossibility over which experts on both sides of the channel Jest. Yet this British spook-seeing has its ser ious side, for behind the senselessly excited masses there stands a group of leaders who largely influence the press of their country and are de liberately inflaming public opinion to the danger point. Far be It from me to condemn these British patriots for their efforts against Germany; my only purpose is to understand them. Their reasoning runs about as fol lows: "German Industrial progress Is overtaking that of England with giant strides. It has gradually amassed those stupendous aggregations of capital that first rivaled the Individual capitalism of England and then grew to American dimensions. The day Is now not far distant when the economic power of Germany will equal that of England, mistress of the world and still its leading banker and creditor. Then the two-power stand ard for her navy will have become financially impossible. With purely economic development British sea dominion must pass away, melt un der the veritable sunshine of peace. Today, perhaps, but not tomorrow, New Germany, rising, can be struck to earth by a mailed fist. Thence comes for England, while she still has power in her bands, the great temptation to a 'preventive war.' ..By blockade and privateering they think that German trade, 70 to 80 per cent of it pea trade, would be all de stroyed and German wares crowded out of the markets of the world. "British sea dominion was built up in war" with Spain, Holland and France. Why should it ,not be perpetuated by war with Germany? And further tempting Great Britain to war is the proffered alliance of Germany's continental opponents. England's friendship it was that re kindled the desire of France for revenge, and the hope of an English alliance has strengthened against Germany the pan-Slavic races of eastern Europe."

The most popular men of letters are the postmen. A charming woman Is never aware of her charms. Tomorrow never comes unless you have a note to meet. Even when a woman weighs her words Bhe gives good measure. We never think of looking for mi crobes in the milk of human kindness. It Is said that several pounds of sausage may be made from one dog pound. A man must be awfully rich if he can afford to waste money after he is married. The easiest way to send a good dollar after a bad one is to engage in a lawsuit. When a woman puts on new clothes her female neighbors call it putting on airs. Every time we order a suit of clothes we feel like kicking Adam for having eaten that apple. Our idea of a satisfactory wife is one who refuses to purchase ties and cigars for her husband. The man who boasts of his willing ness to do his duty at all times is us ually. the first to try to dodge it. Nothing jolts 'a man harder than' the discovery that the card up the other fellow's sleeve is bigger- than the one up his own. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. J Nobody knows enough to know it isn't as much as he imagines. Having wisdom is knowing there is mighty little of it in the world. Quoting the Scriptures is a sign it is much easier than to live up to them. The man who knows how to make love the best knows how to love the worst. A girl wants a husband for all the tappiness she thinks there is in mar riage; a widow for all the unhappiness the knows there is out of it. JAYHA WKER JOTS KANSAS COMMENT IMPROVING THE ROADS. Taxes are necessary, and always will be necessary until the Utopian plan of government has been perfected and put Into operation, and it is pretty gener ally agreed that it Is better to tax the luxuries than the necessaries of life. It is better to put a good stiff tax upon a grand piano than upon the lumber wagon with which the industrious citizen earns his living. When things are properly adjusted, the showy driving horse will be taxed five times as much as the draft horse that hauls a plow, though the latter may be worth the most money. And a man should be taxed more for his whiskers than for his clothes, for the whiskers are an ornament, while the ragB are necessary. Just now there is a great deal ot wholesome discussion of the good roads proposition in Kansas. It is agreed that this is one of the really vital ques. tions of the time. There is no man with so good a command of figures that he can estimate the advantage to Kan sas that will fohow a general system of good roads, but everybody who has given the matter thought knows that such a system will be the greatest thing that ever happened to this state. There is a general demand for good roads; but road building costs a great deal of money, and the people wonder where the money Is going to come from. Emporia has solved a local problem of the kind, through the enterprise and generosity of her business men. but it is improbable that many communities could reach the same solution, and a state wide movement of that sort is out of the question. One good plan would be to begin by taxing the luxuries, and automobiles are luxuries. Any man who can afford an automobile can afford to pay a tax of $100 a year, and ought to pay it cheerfully, since he will derive more benefit from the improved roads than anybody else. If an automobile is a luxury with the roads as they are, it will be doubly a luxury when the roads are smooth and well kept, and its de preciation in value will be less, in a year, by a good deal more than a hun dred dollars. There are perhaps 5,000 automobiles In Kansas if the owner of each had to pay a tax of $100 a year, and the money applied to road building, there would be a half million dollars at the start, and many a mile of road might be made shipshape with that money. An army of men would have profitable em ployment, private enterprise would fol low upon the heels of public enterprise and in a few years Kansas would have a system of roads that would be the delight and wonder of the age. Such a suggestion will bring a ring ing protest from the owners of automo biles, who want the roads improved, but want the other fellows to pay for it; but if they give the- matter some consideration they will realize that it will pay them in the end, and they should be patriotic enough to dig up cheerfully. Emporia Gazette. DUE DELIBERATION. Probably you are old enough to re member the Brownsville affair. The affair itself is old enough to be for gotten by most people. Probably most of the soldiers concerned have drifted into other lines of work, and have lost interest. But the government hasn't, and is still paying the expenses of fat officials while they gad about the country, and give the matter such investigation and deliberation as the emoluments of the job warrant. They will make a trip to Brownsville in No vember to gather a few more facts concerning the matter. The facts were pretty well heralded to the world at large when the affair hap pened three years ago, but the world at large isn't gathering information at the expense of the government, or it might not be so greedy. Atchison Globe. CRITICISM OF COURTS. No lawyer, no citizen, no newspaper should attempt to cast reproach upon the character of a judge of a court, in a personal malevolent spirit. But when anyone whose relations to the public are such that he feels that he is regarded in a sense as a watch man on the outer walls, and who sin cerely believes that the official acts or the personal conduct of a judge are such that the public has a right to know, he will not withhold the in formation and hold his peace, unless through fear, and a coward cannot be a good citizen of a free country. Who will say that when a man has been elected to the office of a judge that he at once becomes so hedged about with the sacredness of his of fice as to be immune against criticism, no matter what he may say or do? Who will say that he is in no way ac countable to the public, or that part of the public that may have trusted him, and which he has vowed to serve? It may be said that the law provides a way to get rid of a judge who abuses his powers, or if he be comes corrupt, that is by impeach ment. That is true; but in our state the way provided is slow, cumber some and expensive. The state senate is the tribunal before which cases of impeachment are to be tried, and It is composed of 33 men from all parts of the state. And In such a court there is always a chance that party politics may be allowed to enter, and men may be led to vote this or that way, paying little attention to facts, through party bias. Knoxville Jour nal and Tribune. NEED OF SEAFARING MEN. Now that the Canadians have set tled upon an independent naval policy the wise ones among them express a wish that Newfoundland were a pro vince of the dominion instead of a separate colony. The Canadians can raise the money for the building of the fleet, but the question of the new navy's personnel looms up ominously. For, as all know, Canada today is largely a country of "farmers." The few maritime provinces are compara tively weak in numbers and popula tion. The bulk of the Canadian strength lies in the interior country, the great agricultural sections which, many believe, are to supply the world with breadstuffs In the future. It is a sturdy, self-confident, stalwart race of men upon whose broad shoulders may well rest the agricultural inde pendence of an ambitious nation. Newfoundland, on the contrary, is a colony of fishermen and sailors, whose playground for generations has been the sea. They know Its every mood and understand each phase of its changing character. With such a pop ulation to draw upon, the question of personnel for- the new Canadian navy yard would speedily solve itself. Newfoundlanders would take to naval service, as ducks to water. They would give the d inlon the ideal type of tar the man who is at home cn the sea. Cleveland. Plain Dealer. FROM OTHER PENS J AUTUMN.

Washington Evening Star. The National Watchword. The first and most imperative word, I need hardly say, one which the country has come to-hear with much respect and not a little fear as to its future, is "conservation." I put it first not only because It belonirs there in the scheme of national policies, but Decau.se it particularly needs to be re peated and emphasized among the people of the north Pacific coast. You have been following in the footsteDS of your ancestors farther -East, who are now beginning, at great cost of la bor and Wealth, to repair the con sequences of -errors that- still seem to you natural ana proper acts. From California northward to the extreme of Alaska there are today probably more unimpaired natural resources than in all the rest of the country. Your great forests are falling; but so immense were they that man has not yet compassed their destruction, you have seen what happened to New England and to Michigan and Wiscon sin and Minnesota; what will be the condition of the South In a few more years. You still possess the princi pal supply of timber in the United States. Will you take steps to guard it to prevent waste for the sake of immediate gain to a few individuals, until lumber shall become a luxury and the very poor must huddle in houses of mud or sod like the peas antry of the Old World? If that ar gument does not appeal, will you con sider the economic effect of the future decline and disappearance of what Is now and might remain always one or your greatest Industries? will you realize what this country must be come when- stripped of its forests; the washing away of the soil, the in evitable changes in climate, tr devas tations of torrential overflow and dis astrous drought, the barren bleakness of your mountains, and the desolation of your valleys when the forests have gone? If you do, your earnest work for forest conservation will begin to day. J. J. Hill, in Putnam's Magazine. Diminutive Farms. The Portuguese are an extremely con servative people. Every man follows rigid ly the methods employed by his father and forefathers. In very many. parts of the country the old wooden plows are still used. When a man dies, instead of one of the heirs taking the whole property and pay ing the remaining heirs for their parts. the whole property is divided into as many parts as there are heirs. More than this, each separate part of the property Is thus divided. Thus, if a property consists of 10 acres of pasture land, 80 of vineyard, and 10 of grain iana ana mere were ten neirs, eacn heir would receive one acre each of grain and pasture land and eight acres of vine yard. This process has been going on for a very long time, so mat now in tne most fertile part of Portugal the land is divided into incredibly small portions. The immediate result of this,, according to the United States consular reports, is that the product of the land is barely sufficient ..at best to sustain- its -owners. South of the River Tagus. on -the other hand, there are enormous tracts or ex cellent land lying unused, but it has been found Impossible to induce the farmers of the north to move into this region and take up large holdings. Philadelphia inquirer. Are. Cats Tools of Trade? The board of United States general ap praisers has been called upon to decide whether performing cats are "tools of trade," or are "animals not specially pro vided for," as those terms are used in the Dingley tariff. Mme. A. Thieueman, the owner of the animals, maintains that the government had no right to exact a 20 per cent auty on tne cats, as they were Imported for exhibition purposes only. The customs officers deny Mme. Thieue man's contention, and point out that some of the animals are of domestic origin, while others were reared abroad. It is also further contended by the gov ernment that the importer failed to com ply properly with the bonding require ments of the treasury department. At a hearing before Judge Waits ves- terday B. A. Levett, of the law firm of Masters ac levett, appeared ror Mme, Thieueman. He Insisted that the ani mals are entitled to the benefit of free entry. Counsel for the government ar gued that the assessment of 20 per cent should be allowed to stand. Judge Waite took the papers In the case and reserved decision. New York Times. Kentucky's Biggest Cornfield. The biggest cornfield in the state of Kentucky is now being laid by. It is the field outlined by the gigantic horse shoe sweep of the Ohio river from Hen derson round past Evansville to Green river. It is the biggest because it is corn continuously for 6,000 or 7,000 acres, un" roken by fences, unrelieved by any other crop no hay, no tobacco, oats, or wheat just corn, corn, corn, and then more corn. It is estimated that more than 300,000 bushels of corn will be raised in this monster tract this year, and this in spite of the fact that the farmers were scared out of a year's growth by the high water and for a time were not quite sure whether- the high water would let them raise any corn. It means something to plow one of these rows of corn a mile long in Horse shoe Bend, and by the time a team has made a few round trips It is time to rest a bit. Louisville Courier-Journal. Horse Has Tobacco Habit. It is a generally believed fact that dumb animals have an aversion to to bacco in any form. This was dis proved to a slight extent by the re cent experience of a Springfield man in New York city. He says that he was standing on the upper deck of a Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad ferry returning from Hoboken. As he stood there watching the passengers come on he saw a delivery wagon belong ing to a Hoboken laundry concern drive on the lower deck and stop. The driver descended from his seat and, pulling out a package of tobacco, rolled a cigarette and returned the package to his pocket. His horse in the meantime had pricked up his ears sharply, and then stepped forward and began to sniff at the pocket where the tobacco had been replaced.- Spring field Republican.

"They are!" said Pat. "Well, there is one good thing about it; they all had the minister with them when they were" dying." Argonaut-

THE EVENING STORY The Stone-Thrower. (By Claude Robertson.) "There's a boy in the strawberry bed!" Next to the Widow Fenwick'a coun try house was the cottage of Mr. Davis, and between tho two was a large strawberry bed. This summer the Davis family was away among relatives In the West, and before go ing it was understood that the yield of that strawberry bed was to go to the Fenwicks for the picking. Miss Nellie Fenwick had pushed her way through the bushes more than once while the vines were in blossom to weed out the grass and dead vines. The bad boy of the village had come with the first berries. He had come to eat his fill, but Molly, the Fenwick. cook, had given the alarm and Miss Nellie had rushed out. She was no sprinter to overtake a bare footed boy, and her voice was too gentle to frighten him. She had therefore, thrown stones at him from behind the screen of bushes. She could equal him at that. She bad dropped the first under his nose, tak en his cap off with the second, and with the third had sent him away howling. The boy fiad returned the next hay and the next. He has ceen the girl in the act of throwing. He had been taught to believe that no girl ever born could hit a haystack twenty feet away with a stone. He had been hit, but he laid it to accident. He was hit again, and again he howled and fled, but he would not believe until after the third trial. Then he got a missile on the ear and retreated to find safer plunder. Four days had passed when the cook came running in to give the alarm. She had caught sight of another trespasser. She couldn't throw for shucks her self, and it was her duty to report to one who could. "Back again, is he?" exclaimed the girl as she started up. "Now. then. you gather a whole apron full of stones and I'll show him that I'm in earnest!" When Miss Nellie reached the, bushes and carefully peeped .over, she saw a human form, on its"- knees among the vines. .That human form was gobbling down her strawberries. She had counted on a strawberry short-cake for dinner that night. The cook stood there loaded with ammunition. Miss Nellie selected four or fve stones and drew a long breath, and away they went one after the other. The human form uttered a yell of astonishment and grunt of pain and rolled over to scramble up again and make off behind the other house. "There!" shouted the girl, as she waved her hand in triumph. "Did you see him?" asked the cook. "I saw a bundle of something on tbft flv." "Well, let me tell you it wasn't that boy or any other boy. It wasn't a cat or a dog. It wasn't a gander nr n rooster. It was a man. Yes, sir, it was a man, and he wasn't an old one at that." "But -what was he doing here? I mean, if he was stealing my straw berries I'm elad hit him. It was some tramp, probably. The two waited around for a spell, prepared for a second bombardment, but the tramp had enough and noth ing more was seen of him. Tt ma 3 o'clock the next afternoon when Miss Nellie was dozing in her hammock on the veranda that the cook came out on tiptoe to shake the girl by the shoulder ana wnisper. "Tramp strawberry bed stones! "What i-is he back?" "We is some one! I've collected the most beautiful heap of stones you ever saw, and I believe you can isiii mm this time!" "So he had the cheek to come back? Well I'll show him that strawberry beds in this neighborhood are not free to all. Come on." Whizz whizz whizz w-h-i-z-z! The stones left the hand of the Indig nant girl, and she was about to throw the fifth one whm the cook caught her arm and exclaimed: "That's enough. Miss Nellie you've bowled him over!" So she had. The human form was 'ying on its side and a leg was kick ing now and then. Miss Nellie was frightened. She turned pale and whis pered: "Molly, suppose I've killed him!" "Hu! You can't kill a tramp with an axe. He's just stunned. He'll come to directly and take a skate." But he didn't. They waited five minutes and then pushed their way through the oushes and came upon a sight to make them gasp. It was a young man lying among thestrawber ries, and he was bleeding profusely from a wound in the temple. He was the one stoned out the day before, tut he was far from being a tramp. "Quick to the house and get a bandage and some water," ordered Miss Nellie as soon as she could make out what had happened. And while the cook was gone she did her best to staunch the flow with her handker chief. The victim moaned, but did not open his eyes. When the cook return ed the wound was bathed and bandag ed. During this operation the tearful, trembling mistress of the kitchen whispered: "If he's dead, Miss Nellie, and they go to hang you, I'll lie and eay that I threw the stones!" She was sent to notify the stable man, and he in turn stopped a passer by on the highway, and the still un conscious victim was carried to the house and laid on a bed. Then the doctor was telephoned for. Fifteen minutes after his arrival he had re stored the young man to his senses. Then he gave him an opiate. He heard the story of the stone throwing end then gravely replied: "You might have killed him. As it if, he may live, but he must remain here for at least a week, and during that time you must be his nurse. In fact, I don't know but what you'll have to marry him in the end. You see, he can bring a charge of attempt ed assassination against you and send you to prison, or the wound may re sult of loss of memory unless you two fall In love." The girl ran away, blushing poppy ltd, but there was no doubt that she had some little curiosity regarding her patient. This could not be gratified until next day, when she carried in his chicken broth, with her mother chaperoning her on one side and the cook on the other. Mr. Clarence Dart, as he proved to be was weak, but smil ing. The doctor had ways about him. He now put one of his ways forward by keeping that young man in bed for 1 our days, when he was able to walk. Then he insisted that he play con valescent and sit on the veranda with a pillow behind his back for a week, i end that, after being able to play roquet and walk two miles without stopping for breath, he should visit the widow's house once a day and do a heap of talking to the daughter: That I daughter finally stopped him one day ts he was passing and asked: -ioctor, do you regard Mr. Dart as thoroughly cured?" "No, ma'am, I don't," was the prompt reply. "He is In love with you, and if you don't say yes within a fort night he's liable to go Into convulsions and swallow his Adam's apple." Mr. Dart was not called upon to oon- ulse. (Copyrighted, 1809, by Asso ciated Literary Press.) i HUMOR OP THE DAY Pat Could yer give a man a Job. yer honor?

THIS HOUSE DOES NOT CHARGE FOR ALTERATIONS PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED NOW A GLASS STORE. Kail's Stationery Store Installs New Glass and Marble Cases Fur nished by the Southwestern Furniture Co.. of Topeka. During the past few days a won derful transformation has been made in Hall's big stationery and office supply store at 623 Kansas avenue when the old irregular show cases and tables formerly used for the dis play of goods were removed and eighteen new plate glass show cases eight feet long with, dark Tennessee marble bases were -installed and an other rear room seventy-five feet by twenty adjoining on the south, has been occupied. With the placing of the new cases and the rearrangement of the stock every article except the office furni ture in the Hall store is placed under glass, away from the dust and dirt and as was stated by Ralph F. Moore, vice president and general manager, "every customer who makes a purchase at Hall's will feel that such articles are not shopworn or liable to be dusty or dirty." Not only are the smaller articles placed In the show cases but on either wall the thousands of books of every kind are carefully protected and arranged in Globe-Wernicke sectional book cases with glass doors. Entering Hall's a person is im pressed first by the symmetrica! ar rangement of the cases and the wrtistic display of the articles in each. The classification of the goods exhibited makes it easv for the pur chaser to locate and examine. Mr. Moore led the way through the store today and explained to a State Journal reporter the scheme of display as executed. The first case next the main entrance on the right displays nothing but new popular fiction, the second and third cases are gift books from English and American publishers, the fourth case contains the popular fifty cent fiction, the next case is devoted to books for boys and girls, number six is full of picture books for the wee little tots, then we have a case where nothing but nraver books and Bibles are displayed. In the Bible case, the variety of sizes and finish is notable. From the great family Bible with beautiful colored illustrations and compiling the family history down to the most con venient pocket testament or prayer book are to be found. The last three cases on the north side are used for small commercial and office supplies. On the left as one enters the door the first case is used exclusively for Wa terman's fountain pens. This is said to be the largest Waterman pen stock in Kansas. In the second case, talley and dinner cards are attractively arranged.

The third case on the left shows a variety of school note books and tab lets, the fourth for pocketbooks and purses, the fifth for Thermos bottled and cases, in the sixth are shown thj advance designs of 1910 calendars. In the seventh case are post card albums of every size and shape, number eight contains brass inkstands and desk sets, while the last case is filled with Caproni statuary. The furniture room on the ground floor has been rearranged and a solid carload of Globe-Wernick filing cabi nets and sectional bookcases and office chairs have been added to the stock. The Hall company has taken another large room, the rear seventy-five feet of 625 Kansas avenue, and there an other carload of office furniture and desks are ready for the customer's in spection. Everything is of the quarter sawed golden oak finish. Desks, the latest patterns and any size, suitable for any man and his purse are there. Hall's have "dressed up" for the gen eral public and invite all to see-their store. Visiting teachers are cordially asked to make this book store their headquarters while in Topeka, leave their parcels here, meet their friends here and make themselves quite at home in the atmosphere of books. WILL TEST AUTO LAW. Physicians Protest Against Restrictions in Use of Cars. Chicago, Nov. 3. A new city ordin ance which limits to one hour the time an automobile or other vehicle may stand continuously in the downtown streets was put into effect yesterday. Vfgorous protests immediately came from downtown physicians, who regard their motor cars as almost indispensa ble to their work. "I don't believe the ordinance is con stitutional," said Dr. John A. Robison. president of the Chicago Medical soci ety. "An automobile is as. necessary to a Chicago physician nowadays as are his instruments and medicines. And the car must be always at hand, ready to carry him without loss of time to where he is needed. To deprive us of the use of our cars by limiting the time they can stand outside our offices is legislat ing against our business. I doubt if such a law would stand the test of the courts." SHORTEN THE LEAGUE SEASON. Ben Johnson Would Play 140 Instead of 154 Games. Chicago, Nov. 3.B. B. Johnson, president of the -.American league, fa vors a shorter schedule for the two major leagues instead of lengthening the list of games, as proposed by Chas. W. Murphy of the Chicago National league team. The American league executive said yesterday that he would favor a schedule of 140 games in the place of the 154 game series that was play ed last year. President Johnson says that the short schedule would not work a hardship on the club owners, except perhaps those whose teams were "way up in the race." The average game in the major league after September 20. according to President, Johnson, barely pays expenses. Th ladies of Lowman chapel will serve dinner and supper at Lincoln Post hall. Friday.

BIG MEN LOST VOTES. Neither Taft, Roosevelt, Morgan or Carnegie Exercised Right. New York, Nov. 3. Many of the coun try's "leading citizens" failed to exer cise their right of suffrage. President William H. Taft did not vote in Cin cinnati, because he was in Mississippi. Former President Theodore Roosevelt did not vote at Oyster Bay, because he Is in Africa. J. Pierpont Morgan and Andrew Carnegie did not vote because they were in Europe When it was time to register. Cardinal Gibbons did not vote at Baltimore, because he had failed to register. John D. Rockefeller did not vote in New York because he was de tained in Cleveland through the illness of his wife. Only two members of President Taft's cabinet voted. BIG OFFER FOR FIGHT.

The proposition carried by a large majority. The tract comprises forty acres adjoining the city. Built. 93 Ships in October. Washington, Nov. 8.- Ninety-three ships, both sail and steamer craft, were built and officially numbered during October, according to a state ment issued today by the bureau of navigation of the department of com merce and labor. Of this number, more than one-half were constructed for service on the Atlantic and gulf coasts. Tw4nty-one were sailing ves sels of wood design, and sixty-six were wooden steamers. Only six were steel steamers. The vessels all were small, the total tonnage being only a little over 4.000 gross tons. Good Health is within reach of nearly every man and woman who earnestly desires it Start right with eecAomt Said Everywhere- la Base 10c and 25c 7 mm Unable to bear the burden of an in sane wife and five small children. E. C. Neighburger, a Santa Fe shop man 38J years of age. took the shortest route to relief Tuesday, and his body was found in the cellar of his home, 154 Grattan street, this morning. He had taken strychnine. The body was found by his father-in-law, J. H. Reser. of 348 Green street. Oakland, who searched for Neighburger last night, but overlooked the spot cho sen by the suicide. Neighburger's wife is in St. Francis hospital with a nervous trouble closely borderirg cn insanity. Her husband and father visited her at the hospital Sun day, and had made arrangements to make another visit together last even ing. Neigburger's little boy, 10 years old and the only one of the children living at home with the father, came home from school at noon Tuesday and could not find his parent. He went to his grandfather, who started a search for Neighburger. The relatives and neighbors seem to have suspected suicide from Neighburger's first disappearance, knowing the severe mental strain he was under. Last night the father-in-law, Reser. made a careful search of the house, and even went into the cellar with a lantern. K.-.- tho Ho-Vit faileri trt TWnAtrjlto trt the body. Neighburger had crawled through a noie in tne cenar w&u iiilu a uain. bole under the floor. This morning at 9:30. while still searching, Reser went into the cellar while the sunlight through a little window, penetrated the dark hole and lighted up the face of the dead man. Coroner H. H. Keith was called, and his examination indicated that the man had died from strychnine, as the dead man had bitten his Hps in the last convulsions, and the muscles were drawn. He said that the man had been dead about 24 hours. Was a Quiet Man. Neiehbureer was a auiet man, who seldom complained. and. he had made no threats of suicide. He had been em ployed in the Santa Fe boiler shops for several years. He was paying for the little home by installments, ana seem ed to be getting along nicely until a few weeks ago when his wife became ill. She was removed to St. Francis hospital last week. The family was TrvtHtani- hut that fact makes no dif ference to the Sisters of Charity in their rare of the afflicted. When the mother became seriously ill the children were separated and three rf them taken by relatives.- Xhe eldest. a boy of 10. remained at the house with his father. sLast night- the boy slept alone in the- house, expecting his father to return. while the father lay dead directly under the floor of the bedroom. While the searchers were looking for Neighburger last night, they were careful not to alarm the boy, who slept only a few feet from his father's rnse. and went to school aa usual this morning. No inquest will be held by Dr. Keith unless relatives desire it. Tjptfirlibureer left no letter of explan ation, and the bottle or package from which the poison had been taken, was not disclosed in the superficial search made. CHIEF EATON IS HEDGING. Didn't Quite Mean All He Said About Blonde Women. A storm of protest, which Police Chief R. W. Eaton contends is not well deserved, has arisen from the lighter haired members of the feminine sex in Topeka, who have proclaimed their scorn at the idea that theirs is a strength of character which does not come up to the standard set by the brunette. Letters have been received by the department head, some of them' lam pooning him severely and others bear ing significant "Black Hand" and dag ger scrawls, all of which tend to show the disfavor with which a statement relative to lesser strength in the blonde woman is received. Chief Eaton has also had women ac cost him upon the streets and refer to his statement in no mean terms. But all of this he contends is unwarranted because he goes further and says that reference to the blonde does not mean that she is necessarily an inferior of the brunette. In fact she is not, but there is a higher spark of nervous en ergy in the brunette which marks her character to a degree which the lighter haired woman does not have. He even says further that the light haired woman, psychologically speak ing has not the temptations with which to battle that -has the darker haired ones, hence there is not a need for the same degree of strength. And then besides the department head does not claim on his own re sponsibility that such a condition Is true. Science is really the more re sponsible. It is evident that to a cer tain extent his statement has bee mis construed, and a false idea of his opin ion reached by those who have dis agreed with the police chief. Some of the letters received by Eatoc have attacked him as having made statements unbecoming the police chief of this cultured and beautiful munici pality, in which the inference was made that his affiliation with the church had been of little value to him. All this he denies, and says that the reader has allowed the impression to exaggerate in the mind to the extent that his mean ing is not taken in its true light. NEW REGISTRY FEE IN EFFECT. Evidently People Are Slow to Under stand Two Cent Increase. Considerable trouble to patrons of the Topeka postoffiee has been the re sult of the new registration fee of 10 cents instead of 8 cents which went into effect November 1. In almost every instance those seek ing to register their- mail had placed only snfficient postage on the envelope or package to cover the old fee, and were much surprised when told that 2 eents more was needed. Especially was .this true of foreigners for whom HERE are boys' clothes of the smartest fashion, in all the best styles and fabrics, $5 to $15. The $5 values are exceptional; some of the suits have extra knee pants to match. Ask for the "Bessemer." the 13 cent stamp has been issued. It is probable that a 12 cent stamp will be issued for domestic use, as at present two 6 cent stamps, or a 10 cent and a 2 cent stamp are sold for the ordinary registered letter, where one 10 cent stamp before sufficed. The new fee is in line with the desire of Postmaster General Hitchcock to overcome the deficit in the postof fice department, which last year went over $3000,000 in the registry division alone. It is argued that very few will com plain of the 2 cent increase in the reg istry fee, and according to department calculations a large additional annual revenue will be the result. ALFALFA MEAL. Why It Is Great for Horses. Cattle and ...Those- who have cows and horses can save money and get better results by feeding alfalfa meal. The alfalfa meal industry is a comparatively new one, and people are not generally familiar with the merits of this product, although the alfalfa hay is well known and appreciated. Reducing the hay to meal greatly enhances its feeding value, and with the meal there is no waste in its use, whereas when the alfalfa hay is fed there is a waste of approximately one-third- Besides, alfalfa meal takes the place of bran in the ration and is cheaper than bran and better, and likewise makes unnecessary high priced hay like alfalfa or clover. Inexpensive ronshness as corn stover, sorghum hay, millet or prairie hay should be used as fillers, and with such coarse feed these mixtures are about right, fed three trmes daily: For milch cows 5 lbs. alfalfa meal: 3 lbs. corn chop. Fof draft horses 4 lbs. alfalfa meal; 4 lbs. corn chop. For driving norses ids. auana meal; 2 quarts of oats. These combinations form well bal anced rations, cost appreciably less than other mixtures, and yet provide just what the animals need. Alfalfa meal is the greatest milk-maker known, and livery men who have lea the meal hidiciously find it saves in their prairie hay bill and keeps their horses in excellent condition. The best way to learn of the merits of the meal, is to try it and note the increase at the milk pail and the sav ing to the pocketbook. Ask your feedman for it. There is an adver tisement of this meal In this paper today. SENATOR GORE HERE. Oklahoman Delighted Audience at the Auditorium. Last night at the auditorium Sena tor Thomas P.

IN A QUEER POSITION, Seems That Kansas Is Imitating Sister State. Architect Wellman, of Lawrence, Points Out Similarity. STUBBS AT HOME. Governor Says That He Had a Splen did Time. Governor W. R. Stubbs returned at noon today from his trip down the Mississippi river with the President Taft party to attend the Deep Water ways convention at New Orleans. The governor was deeply Impressed with the importance of deep waterways for this inland country as a result of the trip and convention. He believes that the project of clearing the big Btreams of the country and deepening their channels will be carried out to fulfillment inside of the next ten years, and he believes that the next session of congress will make a big appropriation to start tha scheme. "Yes, I had a splendid time," re plied the governor in answer to the question of the newspaper men. "and I would not have missed it for any thing. I firmly believe that inside of the next ten years that Kansas peo ple will be able to ship their freight to the gulf by river from Kansas City to New Orleans and that the saving in freight rates in consequence will soon pay for the entire cost of the project. "The convention at New Orleans was a great affair and it will go a long ways toward the accomplish ment of the desire of its promoters. "You, knew that Andrew Carnegie once said that for every dollar in vested in the deepening of the water ways of the country ten dollars would be saved in freight rates. I think that his estimate of a ten dollar sav ing ts too low. "We enjoyed the trip down the river Immensely in spite of the fact that we got behind our schedule on account of the delay at Memphis and Cairo. We took a special train at Greenwood, Miss., to Vicksburg, but that was in order to arrive at the latter place In time to visit the na tional cemetery and other points of Interest. From "Vicksburg we re sumed our Journey to New Orleans by boat." The governor returns from the trip In the best of health and spirits and Is ?ull of enthusiasm for the deep waterways project. He is confident that the promoters of the plan will finally meet with success, and re gards their campaign as one of the greatest of the issues that confront the people of the middle west. He thought that the sentiment was so strong for the project that there would not be much trouble in getting an appropriation through the next session of congress to start the work en a big scale.

There have been many mistaken ideas over the exact provisions of the elec tion and the salaries of the new com missioners. The primary election is due about tha middle of March. The regular election for the choice of the mayor and four commissioners will be held onlhe first Tuesday in April. At the primaries, anyone can becomo a candidate for mayor or commission er who receives on his petition the names of twenty qualified voters. These petitions are handed to the city clerk and the man becomes a candidate of ficially and is placed on the primary ballots. The next move is to select the can didates for the regular election in April. When the results for the pri mary are counted, the two highest can didates from a vote standpoint are made regular candidates for the final election. The eight candidates for com missioners receiving the highest num ber of votes are selected for regular material. Thus at the regular election in April there are ten candidates two for mayor and eight for commission ers. In some cities the first list of candi date which are chosen on account of their "twenty" petitions run up into the twenties and thirties. In Wichita and Des Moines for instance, the first list of eligibles numbered almost forty. The salaries are divided into two di visions the salaries paid to the mayor and to the commissioners. The mayor may get $2,500 a year. This is up to the commissioners. They have the right to say whether he shall receive the limit or whether he shall receive a salary on the same basis as themselves. The commissioners are entitled to $1.- 800 a year. They also have the power to make their own salary under the J1.8Q0 limit. BIG DAY FOR DRYS.

One anomaly of the post election situation Is that the street railway question will be permanently settled before Mayor Johnson relinquishes the mayoralty. The rate of 'fare to be three cents at first and never greater than four cents for a cash fare or seven tickets for 25 cents, has already been agreed to between the city and railway own ers. Detailed terms of the franchise also have been settled and there re mains for Judge Taylor only the work or fixing the value of the railway property, on which the- six per cent earnings are to be computed. The earnings are never to exceed six per cent and any surplus shall be used in bettering the service. A city ordinance embodying all of these features will be passed by the present, city council within the next month. Then will follow the refer endum vote on the franchise.

Nov. 3. I. II. Rich, general manager of the Swift Co. Packing company plant in Kansas City, Kan., was arrested today on a warrant charging contempt which was sworn out by A. J. Hoffman, chairman of the board of commissioners of Wyandotte county, when Rich failed to obey an order issued by the county commission ers last Thursday that representatives of all the packing houses in Kansas City, appear before them with .their books for purposes of taxation. Was the Memorial building com mission aware, when they approved the plans for the new Memorial build ing, that this1 proposed structure was fashioned almost exactly along the lines of the State Historical building now being built in Nebraska? Whether they were or not, such is the fact, nevertheless. Does the state architect who drew the plans for the Kansas building I know that he has duplicated the! Nebraska building? Now work on tha Nebraska build ing has been under way for some time, while In Kansas there has been nothing done toward starting work on the Memorial building in the past seven months except to approve plans similar to those already employed by a sister state. ,The work drags. There is neither energy nor originality behind the course of construction. W. T. Wellman. the Lawrence architect, well known as one of the authors of the flans of the mag nificent Stubbs home on Windmill Hill, Lawrence, was the first to note the similarity of the Nebraska and Kansas buildings. He had received lithograph and photographed re productions of the Nebraska building, and by comparing them with the illus trations of the Kansas building as taken from the architect's drawing, he was struck with their marked similarity in every line and detail of construction. Except for a few minor changes in adornment the Kansas building might be said to have been designed from the blue prints and plans of the Nebraska building. "I never saw two big buildings so much alike," declared Mr, Wellman, who was in Topeka on business. "When I received the photos of the Nebraska building, sent me by the architect, George A. Berlinghof, I was inquisitive enough to compare them with the recently published picture of the Kansas building. I was in stantly struck with the similaiity of the two structures. A careful com parison of the two convinced me that they were enough alike to be said that one was a duplicate or copy of the other. "The Nebraska building is designed for the same purpose as the Kansas building, which is to say, as a home for the State Historical society and its relics and papers. However, the G. A. R. has no part in the Nebraska struc true as is the cas in Kansas. Work tas been under -way for-some time on the Nebraska building, so It will be Inished first. Here are two new pub lic buildings built by sister states for the same purpose, and both alike In uvery detail and outline. It will be said, and with reason, that Kansas had no architects with originality and therefore had to copy the Nebraska plan for a public building." Mr. Wellman's contentions are borne out by the illustrations of the Ne braska and Kansas buildings printed in this issue of the State Journal. They ere as much alike as peas in a pod. Surely Kansas does not want a public building in duplicate of a Nebraska building and both built for practical ly the same purpose. Work has not yet begun on the Kansas building (nor are there any signs of a start), and it is not too late to change the plans or draw new plans for a building that will be original. The matter is re spectfully called to the attention of the building commission.

THE MILLS DRY GOODS COMPANY architect and receive an-'explanation of this strange similarity to the plans of the Nebraska building. Under a reform administration, if the desire for reform and economy were real, would it not be cheaper to have sent to the Nebraska architect end bought his plans at a second hand, bargain counter price, rather than to have hired and paid an expert to draw che same plans and furnish them to the state as original work?

L E Meyers, president of Edison com pany of this city, and vice president of the Topeka street railway, arrived in town from Chicago today on business connected with the two corporations When asked about the proposed exten sion of the street railway from Quinton Heights to the end of the Washburn line, Mr Myers said: "We have always been willing to do this but on account of the action of the city council we could not follow out our plans. With the permission of the city council we would make the extension at once." Mr Myers also stated that the pay-as-you-enter-cars which were supposed to be in Topeka two months ago were expected tomorrow morning and they would be on the rails as fast as they could be unload ed from the train. Mr. Myers was greatly dissatisfied with the election of the commission form of government test night. "I don't like the system," he said. "It is going to be a hard matter to work the commission plan as it has been claimed. I don't think the salaries are high enough and I think they should be elected for a period of at least five years." SPENT SIX THOUSAND. Provident Association Cared for 7,000 People in Doing So.

Take Two Tears to Get ETery thing in Working Order. m DECREASE IN TAXES Present Improvements Will Keep Up Old Levies for Time. However, General Work of Tew Plan Will Be Satisfactory. Now that the commission form of municipal government is a real thing in Topeka a statement of the things that the citizens of Topeka are to expect might be appropriate and be well to pre pare the voters for the real emergencies of the first few years of commission control. It is a well known fact, as has been Btated a number of times, that the first two years of commission control will not give- the people of Topeka a chance to witness a lowering in taxes. XIIC Illl BCl KJl V.llZllI11391lIlt:i a LU LH1LC tip their work- in Topeka will enter of fice with about half of the city watch ing their actions for a flaw. The other half will watch them and wonder if their campaign in favor of the reform lias been successful and up to advance EOtices after all. In speaking of the duties of the first board of commissioners Mayor William Green gave out some figures this after noon that will make the people think for awhile before they have the nerve to pray for a lowering in taxes. No Tax Reduction at Once. "The people of this city should not expect a reduction of the levies for the first two years," said the mayor this afternoon. "The commissioners will be unable to make any budget for the first fraction of their year as offi cials and after that they will have some of the results of the present improve ment policy to deal with." The mayor then mentioned a number of expenses that are going to affect the t&x rolls under the rule of the commis sioners. For instance the new fire sta tion at a cost of about $10,000, the in creased help, equipment, and proposed ealarie3 of the firemen will amount to another $20,000. The city prison needs remodeling and repairing. A number of ibrldge3 in the city p.re dangerous and it is absolutely necessary tnat they be rebuilt. And the policy of the com missioners should be to .build bridges out of the improvement fund and not to vote bonds, suggests the mayor. "The increased demands of the city at this time will fall on the bands of the commissioners," said Mayor Green. rssr- The most glorious It is represented If. F.

Because your friend and neighbors tell you that I have positively filled, crowned and extracted teeth for them absolutely painless. Because by patronizing me from November 1 to Decem ber 1 you can have your dental work done free. Because all dental work done at my office is abso lutely protected by a written guarantee for 10 years. These are four reasons and should be sufficient evidence to convince the most skeptical that they can save both pain and money now. 704- Kansas Ave. "In the first place they will probably have a deficit of about $50,000 on their rolls to take care of and they must make their budgets to meet this.' The garbage plant, the new North side pumping station and any number of other improvements will be taken out of the coming taxes. Disadvantage at First. "They will work under a disadvant age at first because they can not begin the use of their levies until January. Their fiscal begins at this time," con tinued the mayor. "The present fiscal year begins in April and it will be necessary for the commissioners to wait until January for their funds on which to work. Under the present lorm the levies for one year can lap ever for the other and in that manner it is always possible to fix the levies in a suitable manner. Of course the commission will not have any trouble after their system becames regular but at first they will have the fraction of the year in which the present mayor end council system have figured on. "The last levy could have been made $70,000 more but the disposition of the council was not to make it. They did not want to raise the levy. Instead $45,000 was used to pay on the bonded indebtedness of the city the taxes from this year used for that purpose. It is a good policy to get the bonds out of the way as soon as possible and the commissioners will probably have that Idea in view. "Taken as a whole it can be readily ceen taht the great strides taken by the city will make it absolutely neces sary for the same old taxes at least not a reduction. But the money spent will be spent far more judiciously and in a more businesslike manner. The commissioners will be able to get more out of the money than the mayor and council has been able .to do under this present system. "Then after the present incum brances have been releas'ed I look for i big change in the affairs of the city. The prompt action of the commission plan, the better results and the gen eral satisfaction among the taxpayers together with a decrease eventually will prove to the people that the com mission plan is just what they have always wanted."

GOLD MEDAL FOR PEARY The Report on His Proofs Is Adopted Unanlmousl y. Washington, Nov. 3. Commander Robert E. Peary was today voted a gold medal by the National Geogra phic society for having reached the North pole. The board of managers of the society at a meeting today ac cepted unanimously the report of its subcommittee of scientists, who had examined the explorer's records and proofs and found them to be corro borative of his claim that he had reached the pole. The society adopted a resolution that the question of whether or not an explorer reached the pole prior to 1909 shall be referred to a subcommit tee of experts with authority to send for papers or make such journeys as may be necessary to Inspect original records. This indicates that the so ciety proposes as soon as possible to pass upon the records of Dr. Frede rick A. Cook. Of far reaching Importance is the so ciety's action in deciding to follow up vigorously the question of priority in the discovery of the North Pole. The scientists will spare no expense In or der that they may be convinced on this point. Dr. Cook will be advised im mediately of the society's action. Present at the meeting of the board of managers were 15 men. all of whom are prominent in the scientific world. After the report of the subcommittee was submitted, there was a debate last ing more than two hours, but Anally the board voted unanimously to accept the report of the three experts, who be lieved without any question of doubt, that Commander Peary reached the North Pole April 6. 1909. In addition to awarding Commander Feary a special gold medal as a token of the. highest honor the society can iiano touch in existence.

Tunis Cunningham Disappears After Fight With Companions. Mystery surrounds the whereabouts of Tunis Cunningham, aged 17, son of T. B. Cunningham, 433 East 17th street, who disappeared last night, and about whom no information can be obtained further than that he had an altercation last night with two employes of the Santa Fe auditor's office, Ed Morrison, and a young man named Trescoe. The boy's father ap pealed to the police this afternoon af ter a search had been made for the young man at the home of all his relatives who live here. Foul play is suspected by the parent. Young Cunningham had stood good for a small bill which fhe other young men had on the books of the Bat man confectionery establishment. It amounted to only a couple of dollars. Morrison and Trescoe were paid the amout due them yesterday, and young Cunningham insisted that they liqui date their indebtedness. That was along after dark when the trio met near the Santa Fe offices. An altercation followed in an alley way nearby, after which severely in jured about the head the young man went to the home of a sister, Mrs. T. A. Dana, 1309 Jackson street. There his wounds were dressed. Then he left his sister's home ostensibly to return to his own home, and has not been seen since. The young man had no money with him, was exemplary in his habits, and no reason for his disappearance can be given by his- father, who thinks that this fact only strengthens the theory of foul play. Rolla Cunningham, a brother of the lad who has so mysteriously disap peared went to the home of all rela tives in Topeka, and to such other places as was thought his brother might be, but no trace was found of him, following which appeal was made to the authorities.

Daughter of Cabinet Officer on Con cert Tour. Miss Flora Wilson, daughter of James Wilson, ol President Taft's cabinet, arrived in Topeka today, and will sine at the Grand tomorrow evening. She is making a concert tour of the country and will after wards sing in grand opera at the Metropolitan in New York. Miss Wilson was virtually born in public life, as her father. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, affectionately Known throughout the country as "the sturdy old Scott from Iowa," was in congress at the time of her birth and has served the nation either there or as a cabinet minister ever since. It is said that when Miss Wilson was a little girl she used to start the singing of the hymns in a Scotch Presbyterian church in an Iowa village, and the elders of the congregation prophesied that she would one day be a great singer. That little girl, now the bril liant and successful woman, has made those words true. Miss Wilson received her early training in New York, and her voice was considered even then exceptional. She often sang before President and Mrs. McKinley. Later Miss Wilson went abroad and studied with some of the greatest masters on the con tinent; at the same time perfecting herself in foreign languages. Re cently she was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie at Skibo castle in Northern Scotland. The laird of Skibo was giving what he called an "educational week" and numbered among his guests the Hon. Richard Burdon Haldane, the British minister of war; the Duchess of Sutherland and many other prominent persons. Miss Wilson' is a descendant of the distinguished Scotch family of Lusk. Miss Wilson says she is thoroughly American, and if any one doubts it. he should hear her answer the Britisher of the type that insists nnon the vast superiority of his own people and nation, and while we look to the old worm lor mucn 01 our cui WHY not let us be your grocer?

Planned for Better Service South and West. A new Santa Fe time card is being made out by the operating and traffic officials of the road in the office of General Manager J. E. Hurley at thje general office building today. Among those who are in attendance at this semiannual conference are General Manager Hurley; W. J. Black, traffic manager of the entire system; J. M. Connell,. general passenger agent; J. R. Koontz, general freight agent; E. J. Shakeshaft, assistant general passenger agent; Henry B. Lautz, assistant to general manager; Jfi. c. Fox, general superintendent eastern division; R. J. Parker, general superintendent western lines; H. W. Sharp, general superin tendent western district eastern lines. The conference lasted all morning and is in session this afternoon and evening. The large number of changes contemplated has made the conference a hard nut to crack and it will be some time before the schedules can be definitely settled and recorded. The main work of the meeting is to give additional train service to Cali fornia and Texas. On account of the big Pacific coast business this winter it will be necessary to place another limited train on the rails. This will mean another set of equipment similar to that of No. 9 and running at a twelve hour interval with this train. The service to Texas will be bettered on account of the increased business down that way. It was reported that the Santa Fe would put on a new train to compete with the Rock Island and the Katy in the big government mail contracts but the officials deny this re port. They state that the new train similar to, No. 17 and with practically the same equipment will be placed in service for a relief to the congestion felt on that line at this time. The usual branch line changes for bet ter meeting .points and quicker sched ules together with more accurate schedules will be made. Nothing espe cially important will be made in this service. The big question is to make out a satisfactory schedule for the big through trains to California and Texas, It has also been announced that on trains No. 1 and 2, between Chicago and Los Angeles.

TEXAS STEERS RUN WILD Keep tlie Police and Railroad Men Busy. A carload of Texas steers those known as the long-horned variety stampeded the streets of Topeka this morning and terror reigned in a portion of the residence dis trict until Detective Hutton and a band of Rock Island men succeded in corralling them and returning them to the cars. It all happened thus: the carload of steers tipped over at the Rock Island wye early today, and tweny-mx, the number contained in the car. escaped. Two of them run onto the bridge and were killed by a railroad train, but the other twenty four stampeded and ran wildly about the streets. Efforts to corral them were made Im mediately, but not before the herd had become well scattered. A group of Rock Island men, astride of cow ponies were sent out to round them up. and Detective Hutton of the police department was among them. The stampeded steers were corralled be fore, any particular damage was done, but In several instances pedestrians were chased off the streets, and others stood about afraid to leave their homes for fear of the .infuriated animals.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NO VEI.IBER 3, 1909. LIGHTS WENT OUT Tammany Hall Was Deserted at Early Hour When It Was Known That Every thing Was Lost. THE GLOOMIEST NIGHT That the Tiger Has Ever Be fore Experienced. For the Opposition It Was the Most Hilarious. New York. Nov. 3. Through the de feat of all of its candidates who would have become members of the board ol estimate and apportionment, excepting William J. Gaynor. who was elected mayor. Tammany Hall loses control of the expenditure of more than one bil lion dollars in public funds. By virtue or their offices,, the mayor, comptroller, president of the board of aldermen and the five borough presidents are mem bers, of the board, which really controls the city government ami appropriates tne money for all public matters. By electing al! of the officers excepting the mayor, the Republican-Fusion ticket comes into the management of one of the largest governmental funds in the world. It is estimated that the' next four annual budgets to pay the cost of city administration will total more than 700 million dollars. Contemplated subways, the increase of the water supply and other special improvements will bring the total amount to be expended in the next four years to considerably more than one billion dollars. Women's Part in the Election. Women played a picturesque part in the election. One faction of the suf fragettes conducted a mock polling booth in Harlem where all women -vere permitted to vote and where the Socialist candidate for mayor polled an overwhelming majority. In two of the polling places on the lower East tide, women served as watchers for 'prohibition candidates. They were treated courteously and accorded all the privileges of men watchers. Despite an intermittent rain, it was one of the noisiest and most hilarious f lection nights New York ever witness ed. Hundreds of thousands of persons v ere jammed into Broadway and into Park Row and along 125th street in Harlem from the time the polls closed until midnight. There seemed to be as many women as men and the loud tooting of horns made the night hid eous. All hotels and restaurants were taxed to their capacity, tables in the 'arger restaurants having been en caged days before. In most of these places only champagne was served with meals and those who did not care to order champagne were not served with food. Lights Went Out in Tammany Hall. Three hours after the first returns were received, Tammany hall was practically deserted and the great crowds which in former years had gathered there on election night to read the returns, moved to other places.' It was said to have been the gloomiest, night the famous old head quarters had ever experienced. Even when Seth Low was elected mayor, the Democratic organization was reasonably successful with the rest of the ticket, but when the re turns last night indicated that every thing had been lost to the Demo crats excepting the mayor's office, the district .leaders silently departed and the crowds dispersed. While it was expected that Gaynor would be elected and that the board of estimate might be lost, not a soul connected with Tammany hall believed that the Democratic nominee for district at torney would be defeated This of Tice was considered by many to be vastly more important than the mayoralty, and the Tammany leaders in all districts had made a special effort to elect the Democratic nominee. With Gaynor running strong, the leaders centered their efforts on the district attorney's of fice, and when it became certain that even this plum had fallen to the enemy, most of the lights in Tam many hall went out. PELLAGRA CONFERENCE. Experts From Many Countries Sleet at Columbia, S. C. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 3. For the pur pose of throwing light, if possible, on pellagra, the most mysterious disease with which medical science has ever been confronted, experts on the disease from this and other countries assem bled here today in attendance on the national pellagra conference, which will continue its session for probably three days. Every effort will be exerted to ascer tain the cause of the peculiar disease and seek a method of treatment that will check the progress of its ravages. Indicative of the profound interes. that is manifested not only in this but In foreign countries in regard to the disease, is the fact that it was at first proposed as a purely local gathering of physicians for the discussion of pel lagra, the present conference developed into one of national and international character. The federal government is keenly alive to the importance of the confer ence, being represented from the of ficers from the public health marine hospital service and the army. Views of an Expert. Dr. F. M.1 Sandwith of London, Eng., professor of physics sent a pa per which was read by J. W. Bab cock of this city. It was in part as follows: "In spite of denials from American authorities on medicine, I have always suspected that pellagra might exist, unrecognized, in the south, and at one time I requested my friends to put me into communication with the poor est folk of the maize-eating districts. "I was referred to a settlement in eastern Virginia for pauper negroes, but on investigation I found that the inmates lived in stone houses, on pork rations, and I came to the conclusion that the word poverty represented no condition in America, which could compare with the misery of the im poverished peasants of Italy, Rou mania or Egypt." Dr. Sandwith told of seeing a pel lagros Italian immigrant in Boston in 1905, and suggested that United States public health and marine hos pital service officials who examined emigrants at Italian ports should in clude pellagra among the prohibitory diseases. Heconimeiids a Census.' JT recommended also that an exact census of pellagrians be taken in the south, especially in North and South Carolina and in Georgia. In those states he thought agricultural labor- Ieia diiuuiu lq eAtLiiimeu witii nity pur pose of detecting the disease in its early stages, when he said it might be arrested. "The treatment of early pellagra cases without mental symptoms," Dr. Sandwith said, "can be successfully accomplished by putting the patient on a liberal diet, excluding maize and by ridding him of the hook worms, which are so often coexistant, but the pellagros symptoms return if he is allowed to resume a diet of musty maize. "Various proportions of arsenic are used in advanced cases, but when the brain is attacked there is small hope for the patient, unless by serotherapy. Pellagra is essentially a disease which cries for preventive measures." In Italy, he said, the death rate from this disease has been reduced by preventive measures, although the maize area under cultivation has in creased from 5.79 to 6.33 per cent of the entire country. "Well to do people in pellagra dis tricts living on varied diet," Dr. Sandwith said, "and consuming maize as an occasional and not a staple ce real usually escape pellagra." DELVING INTO EGYPTIAN LORE. Dr. William F. Bade Is AVorking Alon; the Nile. Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 2. Excavation work in Egypt, which may be of the greatest benefit to science, is being pursued by Dr. William F. Bade of the "acuity of the Pacific Theological semi nary of Berkeley, Cal., who, although I.rimarily a Biblical scholar, is a geolo gist and archaeologist of considerable note. His publications of excavations, made in the lands of the Aztecs in Mexico, have attracted more than ordi rary attention. 11

In letters to friends Professor Bade has declared that his research work so far, near Cairo on the Nile, is only in the preliminary stages, but he hopes to add considerable lore to scientific knowledge, especially on matters re lating to tne Bible, of which he is a r.eep student. He is especially con cerned with the pyramids of the upper r.ver. TO FEED CHICAGO'S POOR Land Will Be Provided So They May Plant Gardens. Chicago. Nov. 3. Four hundred needy families are to be put in the way of raising their own food on va cant lands in Chicago, next summer, according to the plans of the City Gardens association. That the pros pective gardeners may understand how to get the most out of their plots of ground when they take possession, the association will establish classes in gardening this winter and furnish instruction by lecture and demonstra tions. That was the project announced yesterday by Miss Harriet Vittum. a leading spirit of the City Gardening association, in a talk at the annual meeting of the Outdoor Art league. "The gardens on the land donated by the International Harvester com pany, near the Bridewell, have been so successful that next year we hope to place 400 families on vacant ground in the west, northwest and southwest parts of the city," said Miss Vittum. "We intend to have classes during the winter and teach them as much as possible about gardening. The re turns on the Harvester tract for the season just closed averaged $25 for each plot, and the expenses were only $6 a garden. Ninety-five out of 100 allotments were worked through the season by those to whom they were originally allotted. Forty of the plots already are sold for next year's use and the rest are spoken for." County Warrants Stolen. Oklahoma City.. Nov. 3. County warrants aggregating $4,800 have been stolen from the State Bank of Spencer, Oklahoma county, by three men said to have been from Oklahoma City. The men entered the bank and asked to see the warrants. While two of them Tr-ere examining them the third engaged the cashier in con versation in another part of the room and the two men escaped. The third followed before the banker could call assistance. M-M-H-M-M 't 1 i.H..i..li.i..t..n..i.4..t. Coffee of Unusual X Quality Blend 7-9-11. per lb..

(Continued from Page One.) for state treasurer, auditor general and judge of the supreme court at yesterday's election and Philadelphia overwhelmed the reform opposition to the local Republican organization, electing that party's entire county ticket by a majority of more than 43, 000 in one of the heaviest votes ever polled in the city. J. A. Stober of Lancaster, for state treasurer, and A. E. Sisson of Erie, for auditor general, came to Philadelphia and Allegheny counties with majori ties over their opponents in spite of Democratic gains in many counties. C. LaRue Munson, i the 'Democratic nominee for justice of the supreme court ran well ahead of his ticket, and it is probable the large Republican majorities of Philadelphia and Alle gheny counties were needed to elect Judge Von Moschzisker, of .Philadel phia. The proposed amendments to the state constitution abolishing spring elections were generally ignor- ed, but were adopted by varying ma jorities. The majority for the victorious .tick et in the state will reach nearly 160,000. i TOM JOHNSON LOSES. After Four Terms as Mayor He Is Denied a Fifth. Cleveland, Nov. 3. The official knell of Tom L. Johnson, four times mayor of Cleveland, was rung early today. After working all night the board of election commissioners, announced that in his fifth mayoralty campaign, Johnson had been defeated by Herman C. Baehr. With one precinct missing at 7 a. m., the returns gave Johnson 37,502; Baehr 41,265. With Johnson went to defeat the entire city ticket except N. D. Baker, city, solicitor who was re elected, and the new council will be strongly Republican. Weariness of the public over the long delays in getting a definite and satis factory traction settlement is credited largely with Johnson's defeat. He, however, declared the issue to be just tax values and his strength in defeat is shown by the election of four Demo cratic members of the decennial board of assessors of real property, out of a possible five. A subway' franchise 'passed by the Democratic council with Johnson's ap proval was approved by the people at referendum. SWINGS BACK INTO LINE. Kentucky Is Once More Almost Solid ly Democratic. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3. Dawn fol lowing election found the Democratic party in possession of nearly all its ancient heritage in Kentucky. The next legislature will be Democratic by over two-thirds majority and able to pass any measure over tfre Repub lican governor s veto. Late returns give the Democrats 26 senators. Republicans 12. Representatives. Democrats, 69; Republicans 27, with four distriots yet to hear from. The new legislature will not choose a United States sen ator. Louisville was restored to the Dem cratic fold by the election of W. O. Head, mayor, by nearly 2,700 major ity. With two exceptions all the im portant municipalities in the state have followed suit. MOSTLY DEMOCRATIC. Some Large Indiana Cities Go Re publican. Indianapolis, Nov. 3. Returns from municipal elections show the majority of the votes cast were won by the Democrats, although the Republicans were victorious in some of the larger cities. Notable among these were the election of Samuel Lewis Shank, Re publican, as mayor of Indianapolis, end the election of Republicans in Fort Wayne and Evansville. Campaigns in most of the cities were waged on the law and order issue which followed close on operation of the county local option law. In most cases the more liberal elements sup ported the Democratic- nominees. BRYAN MAJORITY WIPED OUT. Nebraska Appears to Have Swung Back Into Republican Column. Omaha,- Neb., Nov. 3.' Election re turns from the state are too meager to show conclusively which party has won, but enough is known to make it certain that the majority given Wil liam J. Bryan, a year ago, has been almost if not quite wiped out. Indi cations are that the Republicans have elected their three candidates to the supreme bench, making that court solidly Republican. The party also made a clean sweep in this, Douglas county, and in Lan caster county, Lincoln, both of which went Democratic a year ago. The vote was much smaller than that of last year. NEGROES WILL VOTE. Attempt to Disfranchise Them In Maryland Fails. Baltimore, Nov. 3. With returns still far from complete, there is a wide difference of- estimates this morning on the result of yesterday's city and state election. The one thing apparently safe to say is that the proposed amendment to the state constitution designed to disfranchise the negro voters, has been defeated. The Democrats claim the legisla ture, insuring the re-election of United States Senator Rayner. They also assert that Comptroller Herring is re-elected by a margin of 10,000. This city, practically complete, gave a majority of more than 11,000 against the suffrage amendment. The returns from the county are very in complete, but the precincts heard from so far, indicate that the counties will probably add to the majority against it. An incident of the election was the candidacy of Mrs. Ada Smith Lang, social candidate for the house branch of the legislature who received 875 votes out of a total of 23,000 in the second legislative district of Balti more. TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. Republicans Save Massachusetts by a Narrow Margin. Boston, Nov. 3. The Democrats of Massachusetts were far more gratified in looking over the' results of yester day's election today than the Republi cans, for while the latter succeeded in 1-eeping Governor Eben S. Draper and the rest of the state ticket in their present positions, to win such a victory by a narrow margin of 8,000 votes in p. total of 370,000 was too close for comfort. The result for lieutenant governor, in which Louis A. Frothingham, the incumbent, defeated his Democratic opponent, Eugene N. Foss, by a little more than 5,000 votes' was even more disquieting. The election was the closest in this rtate since 1892. Last year Governor Draper had a plurality of 60,000 and Lieutenant Governor Frothingham 96,000. The Democrats also made gains In the legislature and today some of them went even so far as to predict a de feat two years hence of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. itEPUBLICAN GAINS. The Party Wins a Sweeping Victory In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Nov. 3. Tabulation of the official returns from yesterday's municipal election with only one pre cinct now missing, served todav to emphasize the earlier returns show ing a sweeping victory for the Re publican ticket.-; Dr. Leeds Schwab."" Republican, for mayor, received 41.997 votes against 35,165 for John W. Peck, Democrat. Mayor John Calvin was elected vice mayor and president of council. The newly elected city council will contain i z ierjublicans ana 7 Demo crats, a gain of two for the latter party. In Covington. Ky"., there was 'a reversal- of j existing political- con ditions, the Democrats winning a notable victory in all important races. In- Newport, a majority of the Re publican candidates won. Woman Elected in Columbus, O. Columbus, O., Nov. 3. The plurality for Governor Marshall, Republican reform- candidate for mayor, elected yesterday, is 3,472 over the Democratic and liberal candidate, Frank Vance. The entire Republican city ticket is elected. The Democrats gain one member of the city council, but the Republicans are still in control. Mrs. Dora Bachman was elected to the board of education at large. Nationalists Carry Three Provinces. Manila, Nov." 3. Returns from yes terday's general elections of members of the assembly, provincial governors and municipal offices are coming in slowly. The Nationalists have carried the provinces of Laguna, Pampanga and RlzaL Among the defeated candidates is Governor Cailles of Laguna, a Filipino, who has long been the executive of that province. Democrats Gain Two. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 3. Late returns from yesterday's election in New Jer sey show that the next state senate will consist of 15 Republicans and six Democrats and that the assembly will have 43 Republicans and 17 Demo crats. This is a.-, loss of two for the Democrats in the senate and a gain of four for them in. the house. Repnblicans Hold the District. Tacoma, Wash.. Nov. 3. Late returns indicate that Judge W. W. McCreedie of Vancouver, Republican candidate for congress, has carried the Second district by a majority of 5.000 over Ernest Lis ter, Democrat. Judge McCreedie is elected to fill the unexpired term of the late Congressman. Cushman, Republicans Hold Their Own. Newark, N. J., Nov. 3. In New Jersey yesterday the Republicans held their own on the legislature, gaining three votes in the senate to offset the loss of three seats In the lower house. ROURKE SEEING THINGS. Omaha Manager Expects Berth in American Association. Omaha,.Nb., Njtf. 3. Wm. Rourke, principal owner oiJr-tlTe Omaha baseball team, has givgn aSumber of his close friends a hunah teethe effect that when the baseball season opens next spring Omaha may be in faster company than during the past ten years. Already Rourke has secured an option on a tract of land for a new baseball park. Last year Rourke made big money out of his team and right now he says he is willing to Be liberal and spend some of his dollar in giving -the public a better team than he had last year. If he does this, he says, he must get into one of the other leagues. To do this, he tells his Omaha friends that he would be forced to pay a fancy price, adding that he does not care, providing he can get Just what he wants in the way of a team. As' Rourke has if framed tip at this time, he is anxious to put Omaha into the American association,-and he says that, he can do it. as one of the citle.5 now in wants to let go but wants a lit tle too much money. All of the fans here are in high feath er over the prospect of Omaha getting into the big league and express them selves as being fulsty convinced that the team would be supported even better than during the past few years, when it has always been a money maker. While Rourke is not finding fault with the patronage of other cities in the Western, he does not think it has been sufficient' to have justified him in put ting in as good teams as people expect ed. He says that he could have played a team that would have increased the attendance here 25 per cent,, but it would not have 'added a dollar to the gate receipts in the other cities of the league. BOSTON HAS RECALL. New System of City Government Adopted at the Hub. Boston, Nov. 3. Two plans of mu nicipal government were voted on by the citizens of Boston yesterday and plan two was adopted by a majority of 3,000 on a total vote of 74,000.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1909. 9 lil LINE ALL NIGHT Men and Women "Wait at Court House Entrance To Gain a Place at Mme. Stein fa eil's Trial. PAY AS HIGH AS 200 To Secure a Place of Vantage at the Big Show. Charged With Murdering Her Husband and Mother-iu-Law. Paris, Nov. 3. Not since 1902, when Frederick and Therese Humbert were convicted of a J12,000,000 swindle, has a husband in order that she might marry Maurice Borderei, a wealthy merchant who had become infatuated with her. The attractiveness or the woman combined with the mystery of her ca reer and her connections with persons high in the" public life of France have fed the popular imagination and led the public to believe that the mos startling disclosures are imminent. Judge De Valles had received 2,000 ap plications for seats in the court room, but ho arbitrarily reiusea all with the exception of those made for members of the press, the bar and others direct ly concerned with the trial. To these were added the first 100 persons who, standing in line this morning sought admission to the court room. The law provides for public admission to the trial of any case not heard in camera and the admission of the 100 men tioned met this requirement of the law today. In the hope of securing one of these coveted places many men and women stood before the court entrance throughout last night and places of vantage commanded as high as J200. In refusing the many applications for seats Judge De Valles declared that he did not pronose to tolerate a repetition of previous scandals by turning the present proceedings Into a music ha-1 Madame Steinheil, on Trial Charged With Murdering Her Husband and Her Mother-in-Law. trial in Paris excited the intense inter est exhibited in the case of Mme Adolphe Steinheil, which was opened before Judge De Valles in the Seine as sizes .court, today. Mme. Steinheil is on trial for her life, charged with the murder of her hus band and her mother-in-law, Mme Japy. The alleged motive is found in the defendant's hatred for her mother-in-law and a desire to rid herself of the Slow Digestion A lYequent Form of Stomach Trouble Readily Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This complaint constitutes one of the most common forms of dyspepsia. It is the bane of those who ignore natural laws, and forget that the healthy ac tion of the stomach is dependent on the condition of both body and mind. Those whose pursuits oblige them to pass much of their time within doors; men of letters, and of business, whose minds are soldom perfectly relaxed; administrators, speculators, financiers, and the various professional men fall ready victims to it. Slow digestion occurs in persons of all temperaments and habits, but oftenest in those of irritable, or nervous disposition, and anxious aspect of coun tenance, who are popularly character ized as "dyspeptic looking." Eating too rapidly is a common, exciting causa of the disorder, as is also imperfect mastiflcation of food from loss of teeth. There is also a deficiency of the gas tric juices, and an insufficiency of the motor and muscular, or churning move ments of the stomach walls, and tlvj food remains entirly too long in this organ, instead of being passed down into the small intestine at the proper time. Even a dinner not exceeding the ordi nary limits is followed at varying in tervals, but usually within an hour, by a feeling of weight and oppression in the stomach. For several hours after ward the person experiences decided discomfort, and should even a light supper be taken, horrible night-cuar- and troubled dreams are certain to re sult. "I should be quite well, if it were not necessary to eat," is a common state ment made by sufferers from this form of stomach complaint. Many of them actually dread the approach of meal time, knowing what disagreeable symptoms they' are sure to experience after eating; and would doubtless dis continue the ingestion of food into theU stomachs altogether if it were possible to live without eating. There is really no necessity whatever for depriving one's self of the pleasures of the table, or to starve the rest of tho system because the stomach is derelict In Its duty, and does not digest the food as quickly or as thoroughly as it should. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets compel the stomach to perform its functions properly and assist it very materially In the discharge of its duties, a single grain of the principal digestive ingred ient of these tablets being sufficient to digest 3.000 grains of food. They not only digest the food, however, but also tone up and strengthen the peptic glands, and the motor functions, so that the food will not remain in the stomach longer than necessary. Every case of slow digestion and all other forms of dyspepsia are readily curable by the use of these tablets, which make up the gastric deficiency, and supply the dis ordered stomach with exactly the same digestive juices that are found in a healthy, vigorous stomach. Purchase a package of these wonder ful digestors from your druggist today "for 50 cents and cure yourself of your dyspepsia. Send us your name and ad dress, and we will forward you a sam ple package free. Address. F A. fituart Company, 150 Stuart Building, Marshall, Mich. performance.

Stores GIRLS OF WEST, SUPERIOR Vitality of Easterners Sapped, Declares Trade Union President.. New York, Nov. 3. Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the Women's Na tional Trades Union league, with head quarters in Chicago, who has been here in connection with the reception of Mrs. Fankhurst, the English suffra gette, declared that western factory girls are physically superior to those of the east. "My investigations since coming here show that all the western girls are much stronger than those employed in New York factories," said Mrs. Robins. "The Chicago girls have worse working conditions, but this is the first genera tion to be exploited and they are still vigorous. "The women in New York have suf fered trade exploitation for too many generations, and their vitality has been sapped. I don't think the western girls will come to that. There is more gotl native American blood out there and they are fighting for their' own pro tection. Although this is only the first generation of girls at factory work, they are far better organized than the girls here and the further west you go, the better is the organization.'' TO BUILD OVER HERE. Many European Manufactures to Come Across Owing to Tariff. Washington, Nov. 3ihdications point to a heavy influx of foreign manufac tures to the United States and the es tablishment here of -factories for the production of many articles now pro duced abroad and marketed In this country. According "to Deputy Consul General Hanauer at Frankfort, a num ber of manufacturers already have ta ken steps for the opening of factories in the United States, and ne reports tnai the fear prevails in France, Germany and Switzerland that skilled workmen will be drawn to America and the silk business of Europe practically be ended, so far as the United States market is concerned. Already, he says, a great si.k dye ing firm of Lyons has taken steps to acquire a large factory at Paterson. N. J., the cost 01 tne venture running into the millions. Several other silk concerns likewise are reported to have opened negotiations for the establish ment of factories here. The movement is not confined to the silk industry, however, for Mr. Hanauer reports that a world renowned lead pen cil factory in Nuremburg likewise has determined on erecting a factory that will supply the demands of the United States. The new tariff law is declared to have made such action necessary if the German concern hoped to continue to control this trade. LOST HIS VANDYKE. Although Japanese Editor Asked to Be Shaved "Conservatively.'' Lewis' Single Binder gives a man what he wants, a richi mellow-tasting- clear Washington. Nov. 3. Lack of complete mastery of the English language was responsible for the loss of a carefully cultivated beard that graced the chin of S. Zumoto. editor of the Japan Times of Tokio, and a member of the com mercial commission now touting the country. Mr. Zumoto visited the barber shop in the hotel here in which he is a guest. "I would like to be shaved," he said in halting English. "Not altogether, but conservatively." He caressed his Vandyke lovingly as he spoke. The barber, a taciturn work man, said nothing, but tucked the tow els and aprons and other articles of his trade in and around the Japanese edi tor's neck. Then he- began. Americans in the shop were startled when they suddenly listened to a fluent flow of what probably was strong lang uage in Japanese. The barber had en croached on the Japanese imperial, with the result that half of it fell beneath his keen blade before the customer could protest. It was necessary then to cut it all off. Members of the Japanese party enjoy ed the situation. Mr. Zumoto declined to see it in a humorous light.

New Mayor of San Francisco Tells Public What to Expect. San Francisco, Nov. 8. Slow prog less is being made In the count of the returns of yesterday's municipal elec tion. At the registrar's office it was stated at 9 o'clock that 35 precincts remained to be heard from, but their votes would not materially affect the esult. The election of P. H. McCarthy, the Union Labor candidate for mayor, by a plurality of about 7,000 Is conceded, tnd the majority of Charles M. Fick crt for district attorney over Francis J. Heney may reach 15,000. So far aa counted, the returns show the election of a mixed board of supervisors with a majority of Union Labor members. The other municipal officers are di vided among the Republican, Demo cratic and Union Labor parties. In a lengthy statement today Mayor elect McCarthy outlines his policies on 'he several principal issues of the cam paign. Of these, one of the most Im portant Is the new famous Hetch Hetchy water supply scheme by which it Is proposed to' bring a new water i-upply from Hetch-Hetchey valley in the Yosemite country. Mr. McCarthy an advocate of this plan and the Union Labor platform declared for it. His statement continues: "While stringent and unreasonable ordinances shall be reasonably construed or amended as the exigencies may re quire and a freedom of action within reasonable bounds shall obtain, the moral aspect of our city shall be bet ter than it Is today. We are a pleasure loving people and San Francisco has always borne the reputation of being a pleasure loving city.

CREATOR OFHATCHERY Dell Travis' Great Work Build Up Plant. to Has Been Allowed to Run Down and Fish Have Died. Pd Like to See the Liver of a Fat Man This is the expression of a medical man who said that the liver of a fat man must present a wonderful sight when that man is alive and performing his regular duties. The liver is the largest organ in the hu man body. The stomach calls on the liver and so does the blood. If the liver gives to the digestive apparatus Improper juices then the digestion Is wrong. This is what makes people fat. The liver is not right. On popular demand we have made the famous Marmola Prescription into Tablets whiah are eaten after meals Just like food, and they digest that food as it should be digested. They remove fat already accumulated at the rate of from 13 to IS ounces per day and leave no wrinkles or flabby skin. Carry one in your vest pocket or purse when you dine out and eat what you will. Fasting, diet and exercise will not reduce fat. You only starve the body and by tearing down other organs you bring the fat with the rest of the destruction. Marmola tablets are sold by all druggists and in greater quantity than all the other so-called fat reducers combined. There must be merit in them or their sale could not be growing larger every month. Ask any druggist or if you prefer send 75 cents to The Marmola Company, Dept. 3&5, Detroit, Mich., and they wil send you a large case of Marmola Tablets in plain package by mail. Pratt.

How Travis' Plans Helped. T. wnnrtc of Mr. Travis, the former efficient incumbent ol that omce, cover ing the four years of his administra tion, fully show that every stream in Kansas was liberally supplied with fish. Through the co-operation oi ccyuura whom he had appointed for each coun in tvis cfote. ton fish were distributed under his own supervision. As to the StOCKing OI privair v"""i i. v, Mr. TW ii rrtor.tr throilfirh his IOOUa- cious deputy condemns as useless and unnecessary, it was tne poucy ui an. Travis to liberally look after their needs in this particular.' t .iririiiion to his arduous duties, he encouraged as much as possible the building or private iwuus an state and stocked thousands of them i I. 11 V. "In doing so he simply followed the custom adopted by an tne states i" maintain a fish hatchery, and v.-hich is now and always has been the custom of the United States government. Thousands of Applicants for Fish. "At the present time the fish warden i iQ in hia nffiof thousands of aD- j .i i mi in, in plications from all over the state for tisn to t-e uscu in i"i""n bly the reason why this policy has been reversed by the present incumbent is cue to the fact that owing to the ridic ulous incompetency in the management ot that office, fully three-fourths of the fish available for fall distribution have '"The article of Oct. 25 further states, 'Ever since Warden Murdock has been seriously ill at his home the work of the state hatchery has been under the care and supervision of Vic tor Hodgin, a young man who owns practically all of the property around the hatchery and a man who has taken such an interest in the institution that he has contributed thousands of dol lars' worth of material and labor to the upbuilding of the fish plant. It is the opinion of Governor Stubbs that Mr. Murdock could not have appointed a better Substitute warden. Mr. Hodgin has carried out the plans of the warden in every detail and he. has inserted sev eral ideas of his own that havo greatly improved the efficiency of the hatch ery.' Who Owns Adjacent Property. "Now what are the facts which are well known and fully authenticated by every person in Pratt interested in th.? success of the fish hatchery. Instead of Mr. Hodgin owning practically all of the property around the hatchery, the adjacent property is owned by the fol lowing gentlemen: D. H. Axline owns one-fourth mile on the south, C. Finch man one-fourth mile on the west. D. j W. Travis one-half mile on the north, and Mr. Hodgin one-fourth mile on the east and one-fourth mile on the south. "When Mr. Hodgin stated to the State Journal that he had 'contributed thousands of dollars' worth of material and labor to the upbuilding of the plant,' he evidently meant Mr. Travis. "Everybody in Pratt knows, as well as everybody in the state, who has followed the history of the fish hatch- e-rr V. .1 XT," TrU-iu IT' 'i C virtna.llV the creator of the hatchery. The concep-J tion or a nsn natcnery at tnis puuu his own and he was largely instru mental In the passage of the law that created it. He donated outright to the state for this purpose three acres of land and the water rights, which was worth conservatively not less than $5,000, or as much approximately as his salary during his entire tenure of of fice. "On the other hand, Mr. Hodgin has been constant in his opposition to the success of the hatchery since its in ception. It is a matter of record that he has never contributed one minute's time or labor, or one single ounce ot material, for which he did not receive ample compensation. Mr. Hodgin, more over, has said that the hatchery was a graft and. no- good to the state. Does We know of no other medicine which has been so sut cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. j In almost every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has. 4 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, in which many openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless. The reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, restoring it to healthy and normal activity. Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy. Minneapolis, Minn. j "I was a great sufferer from female troubles which caused a weakness and broken down condition of the system. I read so much of what Lydia E. Pinkham's "Vegetable Compound had done for other suffering women, I felt sure it would help me, and I must say it did help me wonder fully. Within three months I was a perfectly well woman. I want this letter made public to show the benefits to b deriyed from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. JohnG.Moldan, 2115 Second St. North, Minneapolis, Minn. Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore their health. the state regard the hatchery as a graft? Since Mr. Murdock and his as sistant have had charge of the hatch ery, things tending to the success of the institution have been neglected. The grounds, particularly on the west half, where about one thousand tres were planted a year ago, have been neglected to such an extent that a luxuriant crop of weeds have grown in stead of the trees, and about three fourths of the trees are now dead. "The fish ponds were used during the summer as a private fishing resort. Even the building that was built and used for the artificial hatching of fi:-.h was transformed into a summer cot tage and a cement display pond was converted into a bathing pond. "Another policy inaugurated by the new administration seems to be an ab solute neglect of the duties of game warden. As a matter of fact, the total expense of the fish hatchery has conu from the game fund. The sportsmen of the state owing to the provisions of the game law which was proposed by Mr. Travis, arc requireT to pay 1 per year for hunter's lieer.oe and this fun-i which has averaged over $30,000 per year for the last four years, belongs to the fish hatchery. The cages which were used for the handling of foreign game birds and which cost $500 have been torn down and destroyed. "No effort Is being made to look afte the interest of the sportsmen of the state who furnish JW.000 revenue an nually for the maintenance of th? hitchery. During th! administration of Mr. Travi3 over 8.000 pheasants and partridges were distributed in nearly every county in the state. This was an j important oart of Irs duties and re- j quired much time and latior That his work in this particular was. appre ciated hundreds of letters fom en thusiastic porfsmen all over the slate fully testify. Since the oresent man aefiment has assumed control of the of fice, everything done by Mr. Travis along these lines has been ignored and! evidently nofhins wtM oe none in ine future to kepp up thn snlcndid start made by the former warden."

12 THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1909. tandard feooks at at out V4 of tli 1 eir real wor 'The second shipment goes on sale tomorrow morning This Book Sale has been a great success the greatest of its kind ever held in Topeka. When you examine these genuine de Luxe editions and compare them with any sets ever offered you by book agents or stores, you will understand why the first shipment was practically sold out in two days. Early in the year, George Gebbie Co., of Philadelphia publishers of the fine de Luxe editions of standard authors and classics; publishers of the well- known John D. Morris Co., Gebbie Co., the Chesterfield boeiety and the Davos Fress editions which sell only through agents on the subscription plan at highest prices failed for over half a million dollars. The failure shook the book trade! It threw hundreds of volumes on the market for whatever price they would bring. They are Books, which, from a literary standpoint, represent the world's best authors and which, from a mechanical standpoint, represent the art and science of the printer s cratt. Included are the world s greatest philosophers, historians, dramatists, poets and masters of romane and fiction. This is a sale which will appeal to lovers of fine books. For these are not the cheap editions that are read once and cast aside, but they are Books which form the cornerstone of fine libraries. They are strictly de Luxe editions. The editions men of letters, scholars and those who appreciate good books well printed and handsomely bound delight in. We learn that hundreds of these sets have been sold right here in Topeka, through the subscription plan, at $25. 00, $35.00, $49.00, $60.00, $75.00, $90.00 and even $130.00. VVe otter them here at $6.50, $7.50, $11.0, $15. 48, $18.00, $22.50, and $30.00. One case to illustrate: We know a man who bought a $35.00 set of Burns for $25.00 and considered it a good bargain. The first day of this sale, he bought identically the same set same binding, same grade of paper, and same printing for $9.18. Do you think you can afford to miss such an opportunity as this? the booklover's chance of a life time! Buy, while you may, the set of Shapespeare you want to complete the library. Buy the Stevenson, the Lamb, the Kipling, the Balzac, the Hawthorne or the Longfellow you have always wanted. Be here tomorrow morning when this second shipment goes on sale, Buy the works of the world's greatest authors at about one-fourth of the usual subsciption price. It is a Book occasion, the like of which the most of us have never had to profit by before. H ere is tke complete list Author Ainsworth Boras Balzac Dante H. W. I. Dante H. W. L.

Price, $6.00 Sale Price, $3.00 D umas Alexandre Dumas is declared by count less enthusiastic admirers to be the prince of romancers. He carries along the reader breathless with interest, through plots and counterplots, ingenious intrigues, humorous situations, and never-ending ad ventures, all told with inimitable wit and dialogue. Booklovers should not confound this new edition de luxe with, the numerous very incomplete sets of Dumas which omit many of his most brilliant novels. Prob ably the world will never see an abso lutely complete set of Dumas for it is impossible to discern positively all of Dumas's own writings from those to which he allowed his name to be placed al though written by others in the "Dumas Syndicate of Authors." The present new edition, however con tains all of the recognized masterpieces of Dumas, about 13.000 pages, and therefore may be called Dracticallv romrita th. most satisfactory set ever issued in Eng lish the best translations.

In ten beautiful volumes, nearly 5,000 pages. The type. It is the only large type edi tion of Longfellow, and is carefully print ed from new plates. The paper is a pure white wove of extra quality, Th illustrations include 83 beautiful full page reproductions in photogravure and duotone (two colors) from original paint ings of distinguished modern artists. The notes. In addition to the author's own notes there are numerous notes by the well-known critic and author, Mr. Charles Welsh. It should be stated here that there is no absolutely complete set of Longfellow. The most important poem omitted from the present edition because of certain copyright restrictions is "The Hanging of the Crane," which, however, is sold in various cheap editions. On the other hand, this new edition contains, besides the original editorial matter referred to, a great deal of Longfellow's prose and poetical writings not obtainable in any other edition. For example, we have here for tHe first time in book, form "The Bald Eagle" and "The Indian Summer," two brilliant storips written in the author's best style. Therefore it may be safely stated that this is by far the most satis factory set of Longfellow ever published. Maroon Cloth Binding, gold tops, Japan titles. Sub.

This truly matmificent new edition de luxe ol Shakesoeare. immeasurably superior to all oth ers, was published by the well-known New lorK subscription publishers. Bigelow, Smith Co., who were engag ed in its preparation for nearly three years, expending over 320.000 before the work was ready for the press. bly the three most extensively advertised and most widely sold editions of Shake speare have been the Booklovers, the Morris and The Temple, in all of which the notes are at the end of each play with no references to notes in the text. In the Booklovers and the Morris editions there are two sets of notes at the back which force the reader to turn to the back of the volume to hunt until the desired note is found, if it ever is found. Com ment is unnecessary upon this vexatious impractical arrangement of notes. In Bigelow, Smith Co.'s new edition, through enormous expense of typesetting, the notes appear properly at the bottom of each page where they belong for the obvious convenience of the reader, and moreover every one of the thousands of notes beaT the initials of the commentator so that one may know tne exact authority for each explanatory statement. General readers as well as students will appreciate this commonsense aid in reading Shake speare. Most Completely Annotated Edition Ever Issued. The notes and critical comments accom panying each play are by Dowden, Lrandes, Lloyd, Hazlitt, Ulricl, Dyce, Cole ridge, White, Mrs. Jamieson and all the world's great Shakespearean scholars. A brief synopsis, written expressly for this edition, precedes each play. At the end of each play are study questions modeled upon a University Shakespearean course, affording the fullest help "to the student or casual reader searching for informa tion. The Illustrations of this 20-volume Edi tion de Luxe include 170 full page repro ductions in photogravure and mezzo gravure of celebrated Shakespearean paintings by "great artists. These brilliant pictures are unrivaled for beauty and ar tistic merit. The type is a beautiful new Scotch face, large, Pica or 12 point size.
