The University of Michigan team met the University of Pennsyl vania eleven on Franklin field. Michi gan has played Pennsylvania four times and has failed to win a game, but this year the western university came east with a team that appears most dangerous, according to Penn sylvania coach Si. The Michigan eleven, has quite re covered from itt defeat by Notre Dame last Saturday and every man is In almost perfect condition and eager to entsr today's contest. Th Pennsylvania men have been spendlag much of their time this week in the pines r.ear Winslow junc tion, N. J., where they recuperated from their hard battle with Lafayette collage laat Saturday. Reports, of ihe condUlon of the men have been more or less pessimistic. The coaches said tcwlit they did not -.look for some of the best men to last long In the game. The teams lined up as follows: Pennsylvania. Position. Michigan. Braddock L. K conitlln Fretz ..L.T Casey Dietrick I G .Benbrook Cozzins C Smith Lamberton R. G Edmonds Ferrier R. T Wells Large R. E Wells Miller .Q. B Wasmund Hailman L. H. B..Magidzohn Young R. H Allderic Hutchinson F. B Clarke Magidzohn, on a fake formation, weni around Pennsylvania s right end for tho second touchdown and Allerdlce kicked a long goal. Soon Pennsylvania made a touch down and kicked goal. Michigan, 12; Pennsylvania, 6. Michigan Starts Scoring Early. Pennsylvania won the toss and de fended the west goal. Allerdice kicked off for the Wol verines. Braddock, in running the ball back, fumbled and it was Michigan's ball on Pennsylvania's 30 yard line. A line play and a forward pass put the ball on Pennsylvania's 5 yard lino. After two minutes play Magidzohn was pushed over for a touchdown. Allerdice kicked goal. Michigan, 6: Pennsylvania. 0. Soon Michigan scored a second touch down and kicked goal. Michigan, 12, Pennsylvania, 0. This time on downs on Michigan's 15 yard line Allerdice punted to mid field. For the next 15 minutes the playing was In Michigan's territory with Pennsylvania in possession of the ball most of the time. Pennsylvania got the ball on Mich igan's 40 yard line and then began a series of plays through Michigan's 40 yard line. They made downs with difficulty and finally Hutchinson was given the ball on Michigan's 5 yard line and plunged straight through the center for Pennsylvania s first touch down. Braddock kicked an easy goal, Michigan, 12; Pennsylvania. 6. After Pennsylvania's touchdown the teams indulged in a punting duel, the feature of which was a kick by Hutch inson which rolled 70 yards to withir 15 feet of Michigan's goal. Michigan played almost perfect football during the half, her tackling being sure and the catching of punts being as good as anything seen on Franklin field this, season. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, played loosely. Second Hair. In the second half Hutchinson kicked off for Pennsylvania. Allerdice punted .to midfield. Summers, who replaced Young, took the ball twice through the line for a first down. Hutchinson and Heilman followed with good gains. Pennsylvania appeared to have re gained her old time form anc" soon had the ball on Michigan's 18 yard line. Here Pennsylvania lost the ball on a forward pass and Allerdice kicked to midfield and Pennsylvania Immediately returned the punt to Michigan's 20 yard line. The final score in the Michigan foot ball game was: Michigan, 12; Pennsyl vania, 6. j Harvard and Dartmouth. Cambridge, Mass.. Nov. 13. Harvard and Dartmouth, two undefeated football elevens, lined up In the stadium on Sol diers' field today in their annual con test. For Dartmouth the game was the climax of the season's schedule. For the crimson it was of especial interest be cause the all-important game with Yale Is now only a week distant. The rivalry between the two teams is intense and the outcome of today's ttruggle will be awaited with interest, in the past six years each team has won two eames and two games have SATURDAY EVENING. been tied. While Harvard was the fa vorite in the betting today, the sup porters of the green were hopeful. The lineup: Harvard. Position. Dartmouth. Browne L. E Daley McKay L. T Sherwin L. Withington L.

B Marks Harvard won the toss and Captain Tobin kicked off. In the early play neither side seem ed able to show a consistent offense. The play was straight line plunging. Harvard seemed to be saving strength for the second half and always kick ed on the third down whenever they failed to gain. The half ended with no score for either side. Harvard finally scored a touchdown and kicked goal. Score: Harvard 6; Dartmouth 0. Haskell Meets Denver. Denver, Colo., Nov. 13. The fast Haskell Indian football eleven and the Denver university eleven met at Broadway park this afternoon. Six inches of snow yesterday made the gridiron treacherous, although many wagonloads of sawdust had been sprinkled over the field.

The ball went to Coy at ht.' 35 yard line and by an end run he took it out of bounds at Yale's 52 yard line.

Score, Minnesota 5. Wisconsin 6. Her System. Mr. Compton prepared to have one of his serious talks with his small, vivacious wife one of the talks which always ended in his being completely rouiea. "I want to speak to you about the household money, my dear," he began in his most calm and judicial tone, al though the -fact that Mrs. Compton stood behind him trying to brush his hair the wa it did not go interfered with the effect of his words he knew. "I don't understand how it is that when I give you an unusual amount you spend it all, and yet when I don't give you so much you seem to get along all right." Mrs. Compton left her unsatisfac tory task and stood before him, wide eyed. "Why, I should think anybody could understand that," she said. "When you can't give me so much I just save out the items that come over the amount and pay them up the first week you give me a lot, and put them down then. It's Just the simplest kind of thing. But. then, I've always thought men didn't understand simple things as well as complicated ones." Youth's Companion. M'KAY'S MOTHER WIRES Preliminary of Eudora Bank Robber WiU Be Held Monday. Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 13. After making a statement last night telling of the movements of himself and Earl Bullock for the last two weeks. McKay made a supplemental statement today. Wm. McKay, the 15-Year-Olcl Florida Boy, Who Was With Earl Bullock In the Eudora Bank Robbery. In his first statement the boy said that he was persuaded by Bullock to enter into the robbery and that his part in the affair had been almost forced upon him. In his second statement McKay easy: "Earl Bullock and I in Jackson ville, talked over where we could make the biggest haul. We talked about robbing a grocery store belong ing to Mr. Flynn. It was at .my sug gestion that we also discussed the fact that there was a large safe in Mr. Flynn's store and I told Bullock that I knew how to blow open the safe. We decided that we could get $10,000 by robbing a bank near Kansas City, that Bullock spoke about. "Earl Bullock and I nearly all the TOPEKA, KANSAS, NOVEMBEK time we were together talked about how we could rob this bank and I agreed with him, -that In robbing the bank if necessary, I would shoot any body that interfered. Frederick Starr, CaslUer of the Kaw Valley Bank, Who Was Shot by Earl Bullock. "I fully expected to get a big sum of money or I would not have agreed to rob the bank with Bullock." McKay's Mother Heard From. Mayor S.-D. Bishop of this city, sent the following telegram to Mrs. Wm. W. McKay, mother of Willie McKay, at Jacksonville, Fla., today: Your son William in county jail for robbing bank at Eudora. His ac complice Bullock killed. Bullock reg istered at Waverly hotel, Jacksonville, under name of Donaldson." This reply came from Mrs. McKay this morning: "Please keep my boy until you get my letter mailed today." Upon receipt of this message it was decided to postpone McKay's hearing until Monday. Later it also was de cided that an inquest was unnecessary and Bullock's body was turned over to his father. Will Answer Cummins at K. C. Bloomington, 111., Nov. 13. Speaker Joseph G. Cannon was the guest of honor at the annual banquet of the Bloomington Business Men's associa tion last night. He was requested to answer Senator Cummins in his speech 'rut he wished more time to prepare his reply, and announced that, In ?tead. that he would answer the sena tor at Kansas City on November. ?6. Mr. Cannon's address was devoted to legislative metohds and was inter spersed with some humorous remin iscences. Governor Deneen was also rn the program for a discussion of the cep waterway project, but wired that he would be unable to attend, owing to the necessity for keeping in touch with he situation at Cairo. Others on the program were Con gressman John A. -Sterling and local speakers. AND THEN 13, 1909. POLITICALGOSSIP, A State Officer Has Exploded a Bomb. Says Stubbs Should Retire From Governor Race. "JACKSOtf THE MAN." Argues That Political Situa tion Demands This Action.. White Says Story Merely Poison to Hurt Jackson. Governor Says'.It's "Buncombe' to Injure Him. A state officer, who is one of the "old" machine men, as distinguished from the "new" machine crowd, today made the following startling statemen' that creates interest. "Governor Stubbs, in the interest of his party, should decline to enter tho prinjary for the gubernatorial nomina tion next summer. He could throw his influence to Fred S. Jackson,' who would be just the man to pick up the torch and light the way for the further marcl. of the square deal procession." The official's assertion, at first glance, looks like another simple, plain old at tack on Stubbs, but a closer study of the political situation in Kansas at this time and impartiaj attention to his further arguments show that he is ap parently otherwise moved. He may be holding out olive branch of peace to the square deal element of his party. Jackson is a compromise. Fac tion in the ranks of. the Republican party of this state did not die when Governor Stubbs was" nominated and elected, but rather the insurrection in the last legislature and the mutterings of the country press over the Curtis Stubbs tax controversy since that time show plainly that there is trouble ahead. The official, while a machine man, has never engaged the square deal ers in tne real battle of ballots, face to face through a hot cam paign. He was re-elected without op position and there is no bitter rancor in his heart engendered by the lire' presslble conflict. He argues, and with reason, that the Curtis-Stubbs fight for the United States senatorship is already on and will continue unabated for the next three years. Its fierce beginning indicates a bitter struggle to a still more bitter finish. State Patronage vs. National. As governor. Stubbs will have the ad vantage of state patronage and he can deal Curtis many a hard blow from be hind the state breastworks. The gov ernor's office is a fine place in which to make political medicine. The atmos- (Continued on Page Eight.) IT RAINED. W WINTER 1 SATURDAY EVENING. KANSASJS WET.

The rainstorm in Topeka was not accompanied by wind, but the sudden changes in tem perature during the night brought on a condition conducive to local wind disturbances. One of these mysterious storms struck in the vicinity of Rochester, a few miles north of Topeka, at 10 o'clock last night. In a thickly set tled district it picked out one build ing, a storehouse on the premises of John Anwiler, and completely wreck ed it. Other small buildings within a few feet of the structure were un touched. Two or three large trees suffered a like fate, and the storm disappeared as suddenly as it came.

The trains on the Rock Island west are running on the blocks and carry ing signals. In this manner they are able to progress nicely and through the individual work of the trainmen and the far away dispatchers, they are getting the trains over the road better than could be expected under the circumstances.

Driven to bay by an armed "mob. Earl Bullock, the 17-year-old bandit, of Lawrence, Kan., who tv.Ice within the last month has robbed" the Eudora State bank, and murdered a policeman and shot anoth er man, fatally wounded himself and died at an early hour this morning. His suicide followed his second robbery of the bank here and his shooting ot Fred Starr, cashier of the Kaw Valley Stat, bank of Eudora, who was In the State-, bank with his day's clearings. Earl Ross Bullock, Self Slain Bandit. Accompanied by William McKay 15 years old, of Jacksonville, Fla., Bullock held up tho bank. Although Starr offer ed no resistance to the holdup Bullock shot him through the jaw. Snatching more than $800 Bullock fled, followed by his companion. Each youth had two revolvers. Harry Wilson, son of E. E. Wilson, cashier of the robbed bank, rpread the alarm and a crowd of citizens armed with shotguns, rifles and revolvers pursued the boy robbers across the fields. In' attempting to swim the Kaw river the boys lost gTOund and a few minutes later the mob was at their heels. McKay surrender ed, but Bullock, wrenching the revol ver from his faltering partner's hands sped on into- a patch of woods. Bullock fired at a Farmer. John Miller, a farmer In no way con nected with the pursuit, stepped Into Bullock's path and the boy, thinking him an enemy Sred at him. The shots missed Miller and the posse, seeing the youth was ready to fight fired a fusil lade at him. Bullock-returned the fire. But realizing he was about to be cap tured, he shot himself through the head. Meantime the crowd threatened to lynch McKay, and officers hurried him to Lawrence In an automobile and placed him in JaiL Bullock's previous holdup of the Eu dora bank and the murder of Policeman Wilson Pringle took place October 11. Efforts to locate Bullock following the robbery were useless. Me was report ed to be in hiding in a wood near his home. Later It was reported he had been captured In Oklahoma. Rewards aggregating 11,500 were offered for his arrest. Until McKay made a written statement of his connection with Bul lock his whereabouts were not known. According to McKay, Bullock has been living at a fashionable hotel In Jack sonville under the name of "J. A. Don aldson." He had money on deposit In the Florida National bank there under that name, McKay said. McKay New at the Game. McKay is a tall, slender and appar ently weak youth who was led to the crime by Bullock's lurid description ol the thrilling adventures or a boy des perado. "Bullock, wnom l knew as Donald son, picked me up In Jacksonville and entertained me royally," be said. "He used to take me out to dinner and give me checks to cash for him. When he told me that he was a desperado and had robbed a bank I thought it would be line to be a real robber like him, with the police look ing for me. "One day Bullock told me he wanted me to go to Kansas City with him as he knew where there was a little bank near there with onlv one man In it and that he could rob it without any trouble. He promised to pay all the expenses of a trip to the town. "We left Jacksonville Sunday and arrived in Kansas City Tuesday, we went to several little towns around Kansas City and finally arrived at Lenate, Kan., two miles from Eudora yesterday. Then he gave me some ammunition and two revolver ana told me we would rob the bank. I was supposed to guard the door and see that nobody escaped. He robbed the bank and shot the man. Then he told me to follow him. "I was badiv frightened when the mob began to follow us and I wanted to stop and surrender soon after we left the bank. 'No I'll not surrender he saia. A real robber fights on until the last. I will die before I will give up. All of the money taken from tne bank was found In Bullock's pockets when he was picked up in the woods. It was returned to tne DanK. Many threats were made against TtTillooic when it was learned he had robbed the bank .a second time. When the report came that he had shot him self, the threats ceased, however. He was brought here and placed In an in stitution. Bullock was unconscious. Fred Starr who was injured m tne State bank has been taken to a hos pital in Lawrence. His wound is saia not to be serious. (Continued on Page Two-

Minnesota and Wisconsin met on the gridiron of CampRandall today In the game that will probably decide the football cham pionship of the conference colleger. Neither of them has met defeat during the season and If Minnesota wins it will give the men from Minnesota the championship. If Wisconsin wins the title will be undecided and the local eleven will be called upon to defeat Chicago on November 20, in order to get a clear title to the championship; Both teams appeared to be in excel lent condition as they went througn sharp and snappy signal practice for a few minutes before the kickoff. While Minnesota was the favorite in the bet ting there was a strong feeling of con fidence among the Wisconsin support ers. Wisconsin is in better condition than at any time during the present season. With Osthoff in the game the cardinal line is strengthened greatly. Anderson, the sensation of the Northwestern con test, started the game at right half in stead of end. Fucik was put in at left end. Minnesota Is crippled because of the absence of Captain McGovern, its star quarterback. Pettijohn started tha game at quarter.

Rumors that Bullock had been brought here and placed in jail caused a noisy crowd to gather at the prison but when it was explained that only McKay was Incarcerated here It left. McKay's Formal Confession. Last evening William McKay made a sworn statement to Mayor Sam Bishop and to Edward Riling, a local attorney. McKay's statement is as follows: November 12,' 1909. My name is William McKay. I was fifteen years old November 9th. My home is in Jacksonville, Florida. My father's name is William McKay and my mother's name is Alberta. They live pn Twenty-first street in Jackson ville, Fla. I have been working late ly as a common laborer, and started to learn to be a machinist for the Commer company. I. quit working at that and was a common laborer. I worked in all about five months and quit working three months ago. I left and went to Ogallah and last Satur day I returned to Jacksonville. This boy with whom I have been was riding along the streets of Jack sonville in a carriage. He stopped me and asked me to get in the buggy. We rode to the Waverley hotel, where he had a room. We talked some and he told me that he had been in jail once for breaking into a dry goods' store in New York city. He said that, his name was James A. Donaldson and that he lived in New Tork City, and said that that caused his parents to die. He told me to come back to the hotel that night. I went, but he was n't there. He had gone to Savannah. I went back the next night and he was there. I asked what he wanted and he asked me to go to Grange Drive, across the river. We went over and then we practiced firing rifles, which he had. I had no gun. We left there and went up the river in a row boat, I ques tioned him about some diamond rings he wore. He said that he paid $27.50 for one and $30 for another in New York. He asked me to go with him to a little place near Kansas City and rob a bank where there was only one man. He wouldn't tell me the name. I asked him the name three or four times. He wouldn't tell me and said that there was a reward out for him. He wouldn't give me the name of his parents. Reaches Kansas City. We left and got in Kansas City in the morning on a Frisco train. We got ore in the yards on Tuesday. We got some breakfast and sat down on the tracks a while. Then we started for Bonner Springs. He made me buy the tickets while he hung back, we left on the regular 6:15 train. At Bonner Springs we went to a hotel, conducted by a German woman who also keeps a restaurant. I do not know her name. We walked to Lin wood about 5 o'clock. I went to a arocery store and got some' thing to eat. We- walked a mile from Linwood and ate what I had bought. Then we walked to tne next station, I don't know the name (Lenape). We stayed at a hotel there. I don't know the name. We walked out near Linwood. and built a fire and sat around awhile. This morning we walked up the road and. after crossing two bridges, we went into Eudora. Robbing the Bank. We got in there about half an hour before we robbed the bank, about 2:30. I don't know the name of the bank. There were three people in the bank when we went in. He told me to guard the door and he went on In. He walked in and said, "Hands up. You guard the door." I heard him shoot once. I had the two pistols on the door and looked around and he said. "Guard that door." J looked around again and again and he said. "Guard that door." He went on inside the little gate and I stayed by the door. The man didn't fall. He Just stag gered against a little bench. He went on In the vault while I still watched the door. He told me to shoot, but I had no Intention of doing so. The men were inside in the office- They didn't speak a word to me; if they did, I didn't hear them. I did nothing but watch that door with both revolvers in my hands. He went on In the vault and then he came out, opened the money drawer and took something out. He took some money out and put it in his pocket. The Attempt to Escape. He said again, "Guard that door." I was looking at him. He said again, "Watch that door." He asked for the key to the back door and the man told him that the door was unlocked. He ran out and I followed him. We jumped over a fence and started to run. He kept on telling me, "Keep your guns on that door!" I can't tell which way we ran, but it was over a little hill and then down by that river. I asked him to give up time and time again, but he wouldn't do. it. He said. "Come on." I kept on asking him to give up, but he wouldn't do .it. We ran along th river bank and tried to swim across, but we couldn't on account of our cloth ing. I asked him again to give up. They commenced to shoot and I couldn't tell you how many times. Wi got a row boat and then got out. Surrounded by Posse.. The men surrounded me and I gave up putting up my hands. I gave up in the middle of a corn field and he said, "Give me those guns." He took both guns away from me and said, "Stand there I'm not going to give up. I would rather die first.?" I saw him go and then they surrounded me. They shot at me after I gave up. I got in tha buggy and we met some men who said that he was playing dead back there. Bullock shot two or three times. No, I didn't get any of the money. I saw it in his pocket and was going to ask for some, but l won i. j. thenhat I was going to get caught, x i v,o srrMtnl before.

A curious throng of people here today viewed the dead body of Earl Bullock, the boy bandit who committed suicide yester day following the bold robbery of the State bank at Eudora near here. The boy died at Eudora during the night and the body was this morning brought to Lawrence where an inquest was held. During the progress of the inquest, William McKay, the 15-year-o;d Jack sonville, Fla., lad who took part in the affair anxiously paced his cell in the county jail here. McKay was brought to Lawrence late yesterday to prevent his being lynched and while all fear of mob violence had -apparently disappear ed this morning, the youthful bandit was plainly uneasy. McKay spent a restless and penitent night. He. had ro further desire, he said, "to be a real robber like Bullock." Instead, he Inquired anxiously as to the condition of Ferd Starr, the bank cashier, whom Bullock had shot in the jaw yesterday. For this crime as "well as that of bank robbery, McKay pro bably must suffer and this morning he realized the fact keenly. McKay was relieved when told Starr would recov er. The cashier's wound is painful, but It is not considered serious. Because of his youth it was decided to try Mc Kay In the Juvenile court and it was planned to arraign .him later in tha day. Bullock's father, a merchant of Kan sas City, arrived here to take charge of bis boy's body following the coroner's inquest. Gaynor Did Not Spend a Cent. Albany, Nov.-19. Wm. J.

Dirigibles Have All the Best of It at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Nov. 13. The dirigibles easily carried off first honors at the op ening of the Cincinnati Aero club meet ing at the Latonia race track. An ac cident happened to Glenn Curtiss. aero plane after he had made two short flights. Chas. F. Willard. the only oth ej aeroplane competing made several flights of several hundred yards In a straight lii.e. All the pilots displayed perfect con trol over their machines. In the dirlg bles Rov Knabenshue, Lincoln Beachey and Cromwell Dixon swept around the track, intersecting it, swept over and above one another and finally came back to earth, each time within a few feet of the spot from which they had started. Young Dixon, who is only 17 years old, won applause by rising to a height of over 2,000 feet and perform irg a number of intricate evolutions at that altitude. On account of Curtiss' accidei.t which occurred through .a collision with a team, the burden of supporting the good name pf the aeroplane fell upon Wil lard. While he attempted no long flights he brought the spectators to their feet cheering again and again as he swept past the grandstand, rising end alighting as gently as a bird and maintaining a speed of about 25 miles an hour. The injury to Curtiss' machine is slight. LAMPRECHT CONVICTED. Man Who Financed Topeka Southwest ern Must Go to Prison. Cleveland, O., Nov. 13. George O.

TO IMPKOVK RAIL QUALITY. rvms-iiltine Engineer K. Y. C. Will Equip Chemical Laboratory. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 13. Dr. P. H. Dudley has been designated as con sulting engineer for all the New York Central lines with respect to all that relates to the use of iron and steel. He is recognized as one of the leading experts of the country on the question of steel rails. He is to be provided with a completely equipped chemical and physical laboratory. Dr. Dudley has Just completed a tour of all the steel and iron industries of the United States, and found them all embarrassed by a congestion of business. Owing to this condition the railroads will have to wait a long time for deliveries of steel rails which they could use at this time, if they had them. The same is true of struc tural material. It is anticipated that much rail will hereafter be produced by the makers by a process perfected by Dr. Dudley. He has no pecuniary interest in it and its use is free to all the mills without discrimination. Rails bo made, it Is believed, will minimize and may elim inate such fractures as caused the re cent derailing of a New York Central train, to which the private cars of W, R. Vanderbllt and W. C. Brown, presi dent of the Central, were attached. BIGGEST IX THE WORLD. Rumored Combination of Pennsylvan la, Santa Fe and Boston Maine. Boston, Nov. IS. The seemingly assured election of President Charles S. Mellen of the New York, New Ha ven Hartford railroad as president of the Boston Maine railroad marks what is probably the commencement of the biggest railway combination ever known and which, when thor oughly effected, will link five of the ports on the Atlantic coast to San Francisco, the chief port of the Pa cine. The mileage of the combined sys tem will be in excess of 30,000 miles or more than one-eighth of the total mileage of the whole country. Rumors are prevalent in the rail road world that a combination b tween the Pennsylvania system, which Truth and Qucttitjr appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Acoor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is 'the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

The experiments with gasoline mo tor cars which the Erie railroad has been conducting for more than, two years bid fair to be successful. The management realized some time ago the need of a frequent and economical passenger service on branch lines where the traffic was not large enough to lustily ordinary steam trains and yet in volume to require a service of less expensive character and entered upon a research which took both time and money and has in a measure solved the problem. Tests were made with cars driven by steam, electric and gasoline en gines, but so far the gasoline car has shown the best results in economy of operation and durability. Although the question must still be regarded as somewhat in the experimental stage the experience thus far gained indi cates that the gasoline motor will be the propelling power for districts where a frequent rather than a heavy service is necessary. The Erie has several branch lines and divisions where even ordinary passenger trains are unprofitable that with a motor, emcient service can oe given, making the necessary daily trips, thereby giving the public oppor- tunities for journeys and at a lessened loss to the railroad. Gasoline motors are in use on the Wvomlng division between Salamanca N. Y., and Bradford, Pa., and between Attica and Avon, N. x On the VVyo ming division the motor car is a hand some vehicle with baggage and smok ing rooms besides a compartment for ladies. It is equipped with slx-cyllnaer gasoline engine and is making punc tual trips. Another on the Attica and Avon route is smaller, having no bag gage compartment. The Erie, having a year ago elec- trifled its Rochester division between Mt. Morris and Rochester, has inau gurated the triple forces of steam electricity and gasoline for a motive power. UNIT SYSTEM ON UNION PACIFIC, Harrtman Officers Given Instruction oh Railway Management. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 13. With a view to training more officials to a broad knowledge of the entire science of railway management, enlarging the number of minor offices from whom men for the higher executive positions can be drawn, and generally increas ing the efficiency of service, the an nouncement has just been made that by next Monday a new system of ad ministration, known as the "unit sys tem," is to be in effect on the Harri man lines. The change will involve the centralization of authority and the abolition of special titles and du ties, aiming to give each officer a gen eral interest in all the branches of railway management. FAST MISSOURI PAC1TTC MAIL. Service Between Kansas City and New York Reduced to 31 Hours, 15 Min. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 13. If the present plans of the Missouri Pacific are carried out, Kansas City will not only have a thirty-two hour passenger service to and from New York, but will have as well a mail service which will even make better time, reducing the time between these two points to thirty-one hours and fifteen minutes. On this tram all the mail from the Pennsylvania fast train, as well as from the Vandalia, Baltimore Ohio Southwestern and several other lead ing trunk lines, will be brought into Kansas City. And the train will ar rive at such a time that it will make good connections with all westbound fast mail trains. SANTA FE WILL REPLACE TRAIN. Better Service Promised Between Winfield and Independence. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 13. Tomorrow the former train service on the Santa Fe between Independence and Win field will be resumed. The passenger tram will arrive in Winfield from In dependence in the forenoon, and leave Winfield about 6:30 in the evening. This service, always of importance as very convenient to traveling men from this city who traverse that ter ritory, will be appreciated by this ele ment of the traveling public, who have been discommoded by its tem porary abandonment.

Accumulation of Gas In The Stomach One of the Most Common Symptoms of Dyspepsia and Deranged Digestion The presence of a small ouanfitir nt gas in the alimentary canal may be described as constituting the ordinary conaiuon, as certain foods, such as peas, beans, etc.. naturally eliminate ana create gas while underdoing di gestion. It is only when this gas accumulates to such extent as to cause inconven ience, and belching, that a person may De said to De sunermg from flatulence. This collection of gas becomes In- ex treme cases so treat that a swelling presents itseir in the pit of the stom- acn; and when this stage is reached. complaint is made that this part feels tender to the touch, the clothes of the person being loosened to obviate the distress occasioned by pressure. Attempts are usually made to get rid oi tnis stomach-gas by eructation, and immediate relief is sometimes ob tained when this is accomplished. In fants are very subject to flatulence, especially when their natural food is taken away too hastily, and when food othe than that provided for them by nature is given them. Mothers and nurses are familiar with this infantile trouble, and have various remedies for it, the most popular of which is char coal, which relieves the trouble com pletely, by absorbing the stomachic and intestinal gases, thereby removing the colicky pains of the infant, which is the symptom which most frequent ly causes the nightly crying spells. Charcoal is a marvelous absorbent, and is capable of oxidizing and ab sorbing one hundred times its own volume in gases. It is applicable to all cases of flatulence or gas in the stomach, and as if is entirely harm less, it can be taken, by any one, with comparative impunity and without fear of its doing any harm whatever to the system. Infants and old people can use it as readily as young persons and those in the prime of life, and nothing but benefit can result from its use. It can also be used in any quantity; and In this respect it differs from drugs some times employed for stomach troubles, as the dosage of these must be regu lated by a competent physician. Not so with charcoal, however, as is shown by the fact that a French sur geon used as mucn as nrteen ounces per day. every day of the last thirty years of his life. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges should be employed in all cases where the stomach is filled with gases resulting from the fermentation and decomposi tion of food and also from the use of those vegetable foods which seem nat urally to engender' and promote tne accumulation of gas. These wonder ful little lozenges which have an enor mous and ever-increasing sale, are made from best willow charcoal, com bined with pure honey, and furnish to the sufferer from stomach-gases and foul breath, the very best and most palatable and delightful form in which charcoal can be administered: to the stomach. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are ex ceedingly agreeable to the taste. In striking contrast and contra-distinc-tion to the ordinary powdered char coal, which is a most unpleasant dose to take.

SAVES STATE MONEY More Than Is Spent Upon the Institution. Cites Destruction of Chinch Bugs and Alfalfa Discovery. Chancellor Frank Strong of the rtate university has written Governor Stubbs in defense of the institution to show that the cost of maintenance is as low as in any state university in the country and lower than most of them. That the standard at KV U. is as high es the average.- That the university l as saved the state more, money than -icta uoen spent upon it in maintenance. The chancellor's letter is as follows: Any assumption or declaration mat the cost of the university is too great or that the expense is unreason able Is founded on a lack of knowledge cf the cost of university education. The cost of the University of Kansas is nut too nign, nor are tne appropria tions made to the University of Kansas too large. When the Moseley commis sion, appointed by the British govern ment, visited the United States, a part r,i mat commission inspected the Uni versity of Kansas. In the report made public through the press the University "i aansas was put Dy that commission among the first ten institutions meet ing the best conditions in the general Tife and administration of the univer sity. "Within the past year the University of Kansas has been admitted to the Association or American Universities composed of the twenty-two leading universities of America. This is the standard association of North America ana is so regarded In Europe. These twenty-two institutions have Deen selected from 150 standard col leges and universities in North Ameri ca. The position of the University of nansas in mis association is indicative of the rank that the institution is be ginning to take. Amonj Lowest in Cost. "It Is certainly good business sense that the cost in Kansas be somewhere near the average of the institutions with which, to the honor of Kansas, it is classed. But the cost of educa tion at the University of Kantas. if not the lowest, is among the lowest of the institutions mentioned by the Moseley commission or in the Asso ciation of American Universities above referred to and much below the average. "For example, the per capita cost of the larger institutions in North America, which list includes prac tically all the state universities, is about $255. The average annual per capita cost of the University of Kan sas for the biennium which just ex pired,' was about fl34. "These hgures are compiled Trcm Bulletin No- 2 of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, published in May, 1908, the most accurate and exhaustive state ment regarding American institutions ever published in America. Figures to Prove It. "From the latest figures obtainable, the cost of educating 2,210 students (the enrollment of 1908-9) Instead of being about $289,000 at the Univer sity of Kansas in 1908-9, would, at the per capita cost at Missouri have been about $424,000; at Nebraska, about $384,000: at California, about $676,- 000: at Colorado, about $440,000; at Iowa (Carnegie Report 1906-7), about $436,000; at Wisconsin, about $585,- 000; at Ohio, about $433,000. Under the new appropriations, the cost at the University of Kansas will be higher, but will still be much lower than in almost. If not quite all other institutions of its clasa. The University of Kansas to represent reasonable efficiency must approxi mate in cost the average of the stand ard institutions of America. Still further, the support of the uni versity and the standard of education It sets affects the whole educational sys tem of Kansas. You cannot separate the system into parts. It is an essential unit, and lack of adequate appropria tions and support for the head of the system means a reactionary influence that will affect unfavorably every pub lic school and every community in the state. It must be borne in mind that the University of Kansas is not merely a teaching institution. It does a large amount of constructive work for th state and has already saved the state. through Its practical work, much more than the total cost of the university up to the present time. What University Has Don for State. For example, (1), the results of the work done by -my predecessor. Dr. F. H. Snow, for the destruction of the chine a bug, are still felt In the state, and have been of a money value as great as ail the appropriations ever made to the University of Kansas; (2). the method of discing alfalfa originated at the Uni versity of Kansas and was introduced into Kansas by the university; tni3 method of culture has largely increased the yield and has been of great money value to the state; (3), the sending out of the parasites for the destruction of the green bug. which stopped the rav ages of that insect in this state two or three years ago and saved a consider able part of the wheat crop in Kansas when the crops in Texas and Oklahoma were almost total failures, represents a saving to the farmers of Kansas equal to the total appropriation for the uni versity for the present biennium; (4), the state geological survey, carried on by the University of Kansas, and sup ported out of its general fund, in it3 work upon Kansas clays, cements, salts and building stone, has added, and will continue to add to the wealth of Kan sas an amount greater than the total appropriations thus far made to the University of Kansas during its whole history. The enormous extent and value of this work is well Indicated by volume 9, just issued by the state printer, which contains among other things material on the discoveries, the detailed geology and the commercial conditions of oil. and gas; faunal studies in the coal measures of Kansas, and the chemical composition of petroleum. "The honor of the state itself and the i standing of the university that bears the name of the state depend upon a high standard of maintenance." BELL TELEPHONE CO., LOSES. M. j.

B. TOWNE TO RETIRE. Will Relinquish Editorship of Obcrlln Times December 1. Oberlin, Kan., Nov. 13. O. B. xowne, who has had the editorial management of the Times for the last year, will retire from the paper December 1. It is understood Lester .Parker will assume the management. The paper will remain Republican in pontics. I The reason of this move on the cart of Mr. Towne is due to the fact that the climate doesn't agree with the health. ot his wife. Under his editorial management Mr. Towne has given Oberlin and Decatur county good healthy newspaper. He likes Kansas, and in all probability will re main In the state. He has made host of friends since he located In Oberlin who regret to see him leave The Oberlin Times is one of the successful newspapers of this section of the. state. The change will not In any way effect the general policy of tne paper. The Times is now 2 6 years old, and has at all times boosted for Oberlin, Decatur county and north west Kansas. Mr. Towne who will retire from the editorial management of the Times, is well known m the state, having been an instructor in Washburn college froml902 to 1907. Since then he has been actively engaged in newspaper work in central Kansas, and Sot the last year has published and edited the Times. Mr. Towne has also made a good name for himself as a cam paign speaker for both state and na- tional committees, and at the Kansas day banquet in January, 1S07, he was one of the speakers. SHERIFF ARRESTED MARSHAL. City Official Started Trouble at a Con cordia Dance. Concordia, Kan., Nov. 13. There was a dance down in the store room recently occupied by Courville Com pany's furniture store. For some rea son not yet revealed, Charley Bentley, city marshal, thought the merry dancers ought to be dispersed and sent to their peaceful abodes. He made no bones about it, and went there with the intention of starting something and he did. He made a few remarks, right off the reel, as soon cr he landed on the scene, that were rot ladylike, to say the least. He got into an altercation with John Price ind he forthwith invited John on the outside, where they would settle the controversy, catch weights, catch-as- catch-can style. On the street they pased a few up percuts. left arm jolts, and straight- arm pokes, until Sheriff Dunnuck and bis deputy, Charley .Nelson, inter fered and" declared It a draw. It is feaid that the city marshal was mental irresponsible for his conduct. He was arrested the following morning on a warrant issued on the complaint of Sheriff Dunnuck, and brought into po- l'ce court on the charge of disturbing the peace. It is said that ne was not in condition to be tried and the case was' set for this afternoon. FELL INTO HONEST HANDS. Drunken Farmer Found on Saltna Streets Had $1,400. salina, Kan., Nov. 13. with over $1,400 on his person, Tim Hoyne, one of the wealthiest farmers in Saline county, was picked up on Ninth street, so drunk that he was unable to stand up. Luckily for Hoyne, ne was found by an honest person, who dragged him to a nearhy porch, and then called for the police, who took him to the station In a cab. In searching him the officers found Eomething over $1,000, which they kept over night. In court Hoyne would not plead guilty to being drunk, but said it was til right anyway, so gave the-judge $9, the amount of his fine and costs. Just as Hoyne started to go he dug vp another bank certificate for $400 which the officers had not seen, making a total of $1,400, which was In his possession. GOOD JOB GOEs"BEGGING.

In an Interesting study of the growth of the world's great cities M. de Foville notes that in 1801 there were in Europe only 22 which had more than 100,000 inhabitants.- These were London, Dublin, Paris, Mar seilles, Lyons, Amsterdam, Ber lin, Hamburg, Vienna, Naples, Rome, Milan, Venice, Palermo, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon. St. Petersburg, Moscow, Warsaw, Copenhagen and Constantinople. Two only of these cities had more than 500,000 London, 950,000, and Paris, 600,000. Naples came third, with 360,000 and Vienna fourth, with 230,000. Today there are in Europe 160 cities with more than 100,000, of which 55 have more than 250,000. There are 25 cities with rnora than 500,000 people, and 7 with more than 1.000,000. These are London, 4,750, 000; Paris, 2,700,000; Berlin, 2,000, 000; Vienna, 2,000,000; St. Peters burg, 1,430.000; Moscow, 1,350,000, and Constantinople, 1,1000,000. In the same class with these he places the following cities of other parts of the world: New York, 4,110, 000; Chicago, 2,049,000; Philadelphia, 1,440.000; Singan in China, 1,000.000. Strangely enough, he makes no men tion of Tokio, with its 1,818,615; Can ton and Peking, the population of which is estimated at 1,600,000 each; Calcutta, with 1,026,987, and Buenos Aires, with 1,000,000. There are 39 cities in the world having more than 600,000 population," of which 15 have more than 1,000, 000. The 24 that remain are, in or der: Osaka, Rio de Janeiro, Ham burg, Bombay, Warsaw, Glasgow, Budapest, Liverpool, Brussels, Bang kok, Manchester, Boston.

United Brethren Edifice Is Bad ly Damaged. Blaze Starts From Gas Store In Annex. GOOD WORK OF MEN Saved the Building When Task Seemed Hopeless. Church Had Just Been Refin ished Inside. With smoke issuing In clouds from every door, window and crevice of the First United Brethren church at the corner of Twelfth and Quincy streets and the real bed of the fire unknown, a full detachment of companies from Stations No. 2 and 3 succeeded in diving into the church, ferreting out the blaze and extinguishing it before a damage not to exceed 12.000 had been done. It was a mighty pretty piece of fire fighting and to those who saw the smoke and flames before the fire com panies arrived, it looked as though nothing could possibly have saved the church and its contents. The building is a one story brick Veneer with a large gabled frame roof. The fire started in the new addition on the southwest corner of the church just behind the main room. This ad dition was Just completed and had not been turned over to the church people by the contractors. When the firemen under Chief Babcock found the origin of the blaze it was inside the walls on the west side of this new addition and had spread out into the big roof of the main building. At this point a gas stove was placed and the builders of the addition had run an iror pipe up between the inside and outside wall, this pipe connecting with the stove. The pastor of the church claims that there has been no fire in the church since prayer meeting Thursday night but Chief Babcock said that the fire undoubtedly started from this iron flue. Rev. O. T. Deever, pastor of the church, first discovered the Are and turned in the alarm. It was then eating out through the west roof of the addition and the smoke had filled the church and was pouring out of every opening. When the flr- com panies arrived the task of saving the building looked hopeless. Friends and neighbors rushed into the building and carried out everything that was movable and with nothing in sight but smoke, the firemen started on a hunt for the origin of the blaze. The whole inside of the roof is a mass of timbers and dry shingles which burned fiercely. Three lines of water tnd two lines of chemical were played into the roof from the west end and at 1:30 the fire was under control. It was first discovered at 1 o'clock. It is estimated by the pastor that the loss will reach at least $1,000 and most probably $1,500. The entire roof o the west end was ruined although not burned through. The water will probably do as much damage as the fire. The church had just been refin Srhed inside with new woodwork and frescoing and all was ruined. The song books were more or less destroyed. In fighting their way to the flames the firemen could not see their paths hrough the aisles on account of smoke and many seats were turned ever and broken. The insurance on the entire church is about $6,000. This includes the new addition. In speaking of the fire Chief Bab coclc sstld "It is against the law to construct such a flue for gas stoves. All flues should be built up through the roof with brick. As long as people build their flues in this manner we will al ways have fires. I feel more than satisfied with the work of the boys. Ihe Are looked bad when we first ar .ived and it was some time to find the ttarting point of the blaze. It was a mean fire to do anything with." NEED MORE STORM SEWERS. Apparent That City Waterways Are Inadequate in Emergency, Consideration Is being given the proposition to increase all storm sew ers In the business portion of the mu nicipality and the inadequacy of the present service is brought to the minds of the municipal council today, because of the heavy downfall of water last night. The question of a new sewer be tween Kansas avenue and Jackson street for the benefit of the merchants, among other things, is brought to their attention because of he water which finds its way into the cellars of different business places, and it !s possible that some action msy be tak en shortly. Because of the low atea between Jackson and Van Buren streets the drain from Kansas avenue on the east ai.d Harrison on the west, is tre mendous so thut with a heavy rain the full supply of water flows to the large sewer in the alley between Van Buren and Jackson streets. This same sewer also carries the water from Tenth street to the river, and the volume is so immense that after a big rain like last night, the street at different points carries the water which ia unable to flow into the outlet quick enough, with the result that from 12 to 18 inches flows across the street and down the alley, imped ing the progress of pedestrians. It has been suggested and it is pos sible that a larger outlet will be pre pared at the foot of the sewer, allow ing the water volume to exit into the river with greater rapidity. HENDRICKS IN THE RACE. Sixth District Man Will Go After Democratic Honors. R. S. Hendricks of Atwood was a visitor at the state house today and while here announced his candidacy for congress in the Sixth district on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Hendricks is confident that Reeder will be the Republican nominee and he is sure that he can defeat Mr. Reeder. Mr. Hendricks was frank to say that his chances would, not be so good in the event that Senator Young of Be loit secured the nomination or some other progressive Republican of the Sixth district. But he does not be lieve that the opposition to Reeder can unite on any one man and there- fore Reeder will win again in the pri mary and be slaughtered at the polls. Mr. Hendricks wan a Democratic member of the 1907 legislature and a leader in his party councils. He is proud of the record of that legisla ture in passing the two-cent fare and the primary laws.

The vitality of the co-operative movement in England, which took its rise many years ago in a small way at Rochdale, continues undiminished. The growth of the movement is shown strikingly by the fact that while in 1883 there were fifteen co-operative societies doing a business of $782,295 at a profit of $43,949, in 1908 there were 112 such societies, doing a business of $20,610,000 at a profit of $88,890.

Copartnership in housing is also growing very pop ular in England. In 1906 there were three tenant societies with a capital of $499,128, which in that year ex pended $249,033 on building, while in 1908 the number of these concerns had trebled and the sum of $729 999 was expended on building. Through these societies mechanics, artisans, and clerks are enabled to secure homes, and at the same time the habit of thrift is strongly inculcated. Zion's Herald. the JJ 7.

ATTRACTS ATTENTION Everywhere Throughout West and Indeed "Whole Country Where Demand for Land Grows More Insistent. GOING TO THE BOTTOM. MacVeagh Will Continue to Probe Sugar Trust Frauds. Washington, Nov. 13. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has come out with the flat statement that not only w ill he probe to the bottom the scandai growing out of the frauds committed in the New York customs house by the so called sugar trust and its agents, but he proposes to renovate the entire ser vice. He declares he will shoulder all the responsibility for such a campaigT and that the investigation will be thor ough and vigorous. It has developed also that the depart ment of justice is working in conjunc tion with the treasury department. At torney General Wickersham has been gathering evidence through corps of special agents and the evidence is be ing worked up by the legal experts. Secretary MacVeagh, however, indi cates that he is going further than merely seeking to discover and punish those who have been guilty of past wrong doing. It is understood to be his purpose- to reorganize the force of In spectors who kept close check on the general force in past years. These in spectors will be recruited with tried and trusted men, familiar with the workings of the customs houses and they will be shifted from place to place. The report sent broadcast that the sugar trust actually owes the govern ment $30,000,000 instead of $2,135,000 in unpaid duties and which it paid under duress, the treasury officials declare Is absurd. The same officials point out that a jnost careful examination of the books of the New York customs house was made and that every cent due the gov ernment was accounted for. porters of the Aggie team. Last year two trains were needed, while this year the crowd will probably be doubled on account of the game being played on Thanksgiving day, allowing many townspeople to make the trip. It Is expected that anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 people will accompany the team. The athletic managements of the two schools have signed a five year contract tc have the annual Aggie-Washburn contest staged in Topeka on Thanks giving day, thus affording Topeka peo ple an opportunity to see the real ar ticle in football, as well as to replen ish the coffers of the athletic associa tions of the two schools. But one more game remains on the Aggie schedule that it is believed will tax their mettle, and this is the Wash burn game. Although dope causes the Aggies to show up better than the Blue team, the coaches and team know that Weede's eleven will put up a gallant fight against their old enemy, the Farmers.

"Native genius, inspired by native motives, would, in that time, lay the foundations of a literature and an art that would be typically American and Americana would then begin to pro duce an art and a literature that would be recognized as American the moment they were seen."

New York, Nov. 13. Narrow mon ey resources .have kept the specula tion under restraint this week. The substantial recuperation effected by the Bank of England did not wholly quiet apprehension in foreign money markets. Exports, of gold from New York and renewed demands from the interior depleted the slender banking surplus and necessitated some calling of loans. The coming congressional program was the occasion of some disquiet and the demands for increased wages made by railroad employes suggested n. problem to be met. Coppers showed strength on reports of large buying for export and rumors of a coming combination of the principal producers. AGGIES COMING IX FORCE.

Three children are already dead and a fourth is ill irom a disease which has baffled the physicians and led them to believe a new scourge particularly inimical to children has appeared. The three vicitms who have already v'iied are the children of Mrs. Mary Gener, and while Prof. Wooley, path ologist at the city hospital, was per forming an autopsy on the last child to die, Mrs. Sophie Howard appeared with her 13-year-old daughter who ihowed identical symptoms.

The four remain ing defendants in the Tensleep murder cases, now awaiting trial at Basin, Wyo., will plead guilty and accept sen tence agreed upon in order to save the life of Herbert Brink, whom the Jury Thursday found guilty of murder In the first degree, according to a special to the News today. This was the an nouncement made by all of the defend ants after a conference between the prosecution and defense and presiding Judge Parmalee. Life imprisonment was decided upon for Brink. This will be effected by granting him a new trial and permit ting him to plead guilty to second de gree murder. George Saban and Milton A. Alexan der will plead guilty to the charge of murder in the second degree and be sentenced to twenty years each. Ed Eaton and Thomas Dixon will be charged with manslaughter, plead guilty, and got three years each. Representatives of the Wyoming Wool Growers' association protested against light sentences for Eaton and Dixon but, the News' special says, Judge Parmalee was unmoved. TENNY IS DEAD. Was Xext to Salvator. the Fastest Horse in the World. New York, Nov. 13. The death of Tenny, one of the most famous race horses of the American turf in Ken tucky at the age of 23 years, is a mat ter of general comment here among sporting men. It is an odd coin cidence that Tenny died only a few months after his greatest rival. Sal vator, and at the same age. Salvator, the fastest race horse in the world, beat Tenny by a head in two races and their contests are classics of the turf. Songs and poems have been written about them and many pictures painted. Tenny was owned in his halcyon days by David Tenny Pulsifer. Mr. Pulslfer bought Tenny which was by Rayon D'Or-Belle of Maywood, as a yearling, for $150. He won a big for tune by backing Tenny when the colt captured the Brooklyn handicap at a long price in 1891. While possessing marvelous speed, Tenny was of a surly temper. He lost a stake to Salvator by a head merely through sulking, and he was beaten by both Salvator and Longstreet in matches for the same reason. He lost by a head each time. Chicago, Nov. 13.

How the Government Helps. The work of the staff of experts maintained by the federal govern ment is of so far reaching a charac ter that few realize its importance. TBrougn the work of the reclama tion service millions of acres of desert land have been supplied with the wat er that alone was needed to make them productive. Over $50,000,000 have been dispersed up to this time, and the results have proven the wis dom of the expenditure. The men who have done this vast work will be present to tell by word and plctue how the waste places were reclaimed and made to produce wealth and comfort for the enjoyment of man. The bureau of plant industry also will be represented and the marvelous results obtained by the explorers who have penetrated the most remote re gions in search of new plants to im prove the native varieties will be shown. In one year these men sent to the bureau for experiment over 1,500 varieties of seed and plants i new to America.

Chicago, Nov. 13. After deliberat ing on the new license ordinance-' to be submitted to the city council in the near future, the council license committee yesterday decided that If any enterprising firm or individual puts a line of airships in operation In Chicago it will cost them just ten dollars per day for each of the aerial crafts. Some of the aldermen thought this might make the fare too high, "worse than a taxicab" as one of them put it, but Alderman Bowler of the Nineteenth ward silenced these ob jections by saying: "Well, anybody riding in an airship is flying high anyhow, so I guess we will let It go."

It is to be something more than a prize pump kin show; it is to be a demonstration of the newer agriculture which has dou bled the yield, Increased the flavor and multiplied the food value of the prod ucts of the soil. It is promised that the results obtained by the irrigation of the arid country and the drainage of the overwet will be set forth in a way that will interest and instruct all who attend. The great Coliseum building is being lannpalfi!! 1 r mflllt lavish TT1 A n Tl PT and the space so divided and arranged that the results obtained in tne several sec tions of the west and south may be seen and understood. Land Hungers That Are Known. 'The "return'to the soil" Is on in earn est, and the demand for farm land is ViermTriii-.ir more insistent every day. Time was when a farm could be had for a. soner. but that time has passed, '.to day desirable acres command high prices in all the more thickly settled sections, and the land hungry man looks to the newly developed country for pro fitable investment. The irrigated var ipvs of the west are particularly at tractive. Here a few acres are suffi cient to sunDort a family, and. proper ly developed. 10 to 20 acres is better than any insurance poncy tvci mmou. ThA methods of preparing the soil, iitivntini and developing fully, the possibilities of a few acres, will be shown at the cnicago snow. The broad acres of western Kansas and Oklahoma, and Panhandle and smith olains of Texas, the Las Vegas country in New Mexico, all are attract ing attention, une proaucis eiuvvu there, with normal rainfall, plus scien tific soil culture, compare favorably with the best grown elsewhere. This modern soil culture. the tools nod hv the drv farmer, and the re sults obtained. aU will be set forth for and illustrated at the land and irriga tion show. New Fruits That Have Come In. The triumph of the plant breeder, who, through careful selection, hy bridization and cross-fertilization, has produced fruits of delicious flavor, great nutritive value and enormous yield, will be shown in the east for the first time. You will see the results produced by Spencer, the developer of the seedless apple; by Burbank, the wizard, who has developed a white blackberry, and a hundred other marvels, including the spineless cactus, whose fruit com bines the flavor of a peach, a plum, a melon, -'and a pineapple, all in one. You will see the newly arrived pit less plum; the frost resisting citrange, which resembles an orange, but far surpasses it in beauty, tenderness and flavor; the pomato, the fragrant, juicy white tomato, and scores of other strange new forms that have come to delight the palate and enrich the grower. New Methods That Are TTsed. Among the most interesting and important exhibits will be the de monstration of modern methods of conserving the energy and fertility of the soil. The newly discovered fer tilizer that collects nitrogen from the atmosphere and stores it in the soil, where the plants easily may secure it when needed. The scientific methods of the intensive farmer who forces the' land to yield the most wonderful results, also will be demonstrated.

The United States Land and Irriga tion exposition is intended primarily to demonstrate to the man in the city the great opportunities offered the am bitious worker by the country now be ing reclaimed and developed. Every section of the country has responded to the invitation to be represented. Great Railways Interested. The Santa Fe and other groat rail way companies have taken space, and by exhibits of products, by pictures, by word of mouth and by other forms of expression, will inform all who attend as to the possibilities of the several sections. Here, in half a day, one ma" see and understand what may be done in any part of the country from Michi gan to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, or from -Washington and Oregon to Florida. One interesting feature of the Santa Fe exhibit will be an adobe pueblo, with a number of Indian blanket weavers silversmiths, potters and other crafts men at work. A nation-wide movement to aid mil lions of farmers and wage earners U expected to follow this national farm congress. Possibilities Here in "West Thousands of acres of land in the west is waiting to be tilled an! the purpose of this congress is to bring the homeseeker into closer touch with the geographical location of home site3. C. B. Schmidt, commissioner of im migration of the Rock Island-Frisco system, in speaking to your correspond ent said: "The call of the west should find a larger answer among the wage earn ers of the cities, who are compelled to sacrifice much of the personal in dependence and comfort which they might easily gain for themselves and their families on a farm. The na tional farm land congress will point the way for people of this class to bet ter their condition immeasurably." Millions of Acres Untilled In Arkansas 'there are 17,500,000 acres of untilled land. Much of this is the best soil in the world for fruit. A lot of it is covered by hardwood timber, which can be sold at profit enough to reimburse the purchaser for what he paid for the land. In Missouri there are 10.000,000 acres Of Which thf S9mo thlnor mfV- said, and 16.000,000 in Louisiana. All tola, there are 251.000,000 acres of unoccupied lands in the west. Is it any wonder there is a demand for accurate, unbiased information concerning this great land of oppor tunity when the cry of the day is for more farms, more grain, more cotton, more cattle and hogs, when prices for farm products are soaring higher and higher and when the small wage earners of the cities are finding the struggle for existence more and more severe? During the fortnight the land and irrigation exposition is in progress there will also be held in Chicago the Tenth International Live Stock ex position, where will be found the finest stock cattle, hogs, sheep, and horses in the world. The two shows go hand in hand and together demonstrate the many sided equip ment of the modern farmer. To aid the splendid work of these two expositions, the railroads will authorize special excursion fares. It is estimated that over half a mlion people will be attracted to Chicago in consequence.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 13, 1909. 6 KNOWSJIS WORK R. H. Morehouse Has Built Up Good Jewelry Business By Practice of Fair Dealing and Honesty. FR03I S500 TO 9,000 Sells Goods to Old Customers in Many States. How Watches Are Tested Before They Are Sold. R. H. Morehouse, the jeweler, watch maker and Santa Fe watch inspector, has added another room to his store at 510 East Fourth street to accora- service, plain or elaborate, to suit the most fastidious fancy. Three large cases in the small, Jew elry department display enough of the dainty golden designs to please any one. Another department is devoted to cut glass and Morehouse knows and selects the latest designs for his trade. Hand painted ..china, in modest, de signs and dainty shades occupy still another case, but the Morehouse dia monds are the most attractive portion of the stock. From the least little sparkler to a two-carat stone are to be found In that brilliant collection. One would scarce expect to find such a complete stock of valuable stones in a little store so unpretentious. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. The Morehouse stock is complete today, but within six months from now this stock will be gone and an other received and on display. More house believes in passing good things along. Six months from now that two-carat stud will be lighting the way for a gentleman through the cactus on the deserts of Arizona; a short time and that Hamilton watch will be racing along over two strips of steel bound for Texas; that exquisite ly handpainted China fruit dish will be propped upon a buffet in Chey enne, Wyo. This is no idle dream or wanton HAD TINT TIME. Kansas School Teachers Tell of Big Meeting. Country Press Speaks of Tope ka's Great Hospitality.

New cases for Jewelry, hand painted china and silverware, have been adaea 10 lug equipment and furnishings during the past few months and today he has one of the best equipped and stocked jew elry stores in Topeka. It requires more than guess and good luck to build a business pur chased for $500 seven years ago to a $9,000 establishment today. "Honesty is the best policy, is a paying proposition, always worth par and usually pays the possessor a handsome profit," is the way one of his friends accounts for his success. Seven years ago Mr. Morehouse moved from Emporia to Topeka and purchased the store and stock then owned by H. S. Montgomery, the gen eral watch inspector for the Santa Fe. Mr. Montgomery appointed Mr. More house inspector for the Santa Fe for the Topeka division. Mr. Morehouse was connected for three years with, the firm of D. D. Williams Co., the local .watch in spector for the Santa Fe at Emporia, which fitted him to fill a similar po sition with the railroad company here. He was appointed inspector seven years ago and has held the place con tinuously since. There is no snap, however, in be ing the watch inspector for an army of railroad men of a large railroad system. Morehouse can not set the time pieces of the train men and the engine men with his eyes blindfolded and his hands muffled. It requires ac curacy and skill to attend to this im portant work. Morehouse works with precious sec ends. A few seconds off one way or the other with the engineer's watch means life and death with his fellow men. None But Standard Watches. Quite reasonable it seems that none but the standard makes of watches are to be found at the Morehouse store. The Elgin, the Waltham, the Hamilton and the Howard all fir.d just recognition with the little jeweler. It is interesting to see the manner in which Morehouse teases and tor tures those watches before they are placed in active service. As the- new watches arrive from the factory back East, to the layman, they are accur ate enough for luncheon purposes. When they are sold to a railroader it Is a different proposition. The new watch is given a trial run for three days and in as many different posi tions. During that three days' test the lit tle tickers must not vary more than six seconds. When this degree of ef ficiency has been reached the works are placed in gold or silvereen cases and are ready for the leather thong and the jacket pocket of the man who rides the engine or the coach. "There is a greater demand for nineteen jeweled -watches than any other number," said Mr. Morehouse as he receipted for an express pack age containing Hamilton watches, and all sold before they arrived. Almost every minute in the day stalwart trainmen stop at 510 East Fourth street to compare time and get "set right." before going out on their runs. Trainmen are not alone in. the habit. Street car men, office men. business men, everyday men and Sunday men, depend alike on More house to keep them right with the standard time. The Morehouse Stock. While Morehouse deals seriously with golden moments, time pieces are not hia onlv line, far from it. That little store is crowded from threshold n xpitinc with useful articles manu factured and designed to gladden the heart of maid, man or married folks. A' new silverware case with four shelves on the right as one enters the waste of words. Morehouse sends thousands of dollars' worth of jew elry to customers thousands of miles away. Every year he sends about $400 wbrth of jewelry to a customer in Cheyenne, Wyo., and the orders come from former customers well sat isfied, throughout the entire states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. These customers send in their mail orders unsolicited. They know Morehouse and his policy. They know when More house says a diamond is a diamond and is two carats and fault less, that it is unnecessary to Dotner with a chemical analysis. If the little jeweler says a watch has nineteen jewels in it one can depend upon it that those little pivots are noi sur rounded by beeswax. Four people are employed in the Morehouse establishment, but of course, Mr. ana jvirs. wurcuuusc uun count. During the Christmas rusn additional help is secured to give prompt attention to all. "Christmas time is, of course, our busiest season," said Mr. Morehouse, "and a vear ago just before Christmas we did a five hundred dollar busi ness, an equivalent to the purchase price for the entire store six years previous. Mr Morehouse served his appren ticeship in Wichita, Kan., twenty-five years ago, and every year of experi ence since has been a profit both to himself and his customers. An engineer and his fireman came into the store, passed out their watches for inspection and the watch maker closed the interview. A slight movement of the slender hand, a short rest for the second hand until the chronometer had caught up with the watches and two more men went out. on their runs confident of their time. SPENDING 18 MILLIONS. Yearly Cost of the Agricultural Ex periment Work. Washington,. Nov. 13 Secretary Wil son has issued a statement pointing ou that the United States government is spending in the neighborhood of $18,000, 000 a year on experimental work in in creasing the yield and efficiency of the farms of the country. The statement was inspired by the charge made by William C. Brown, president of tha New York Central lines, at a dinner in New York this week that the nation could better afford to invest the cost of one battleship in agricultural experi ment work than to expend it in the in crease of the navy. A battleshin costs approximately nine million dollars. Secretary Wilson declares that th3 government is expending each year ex actly twice as much as a first class battleship's cost, and the monev is be ing usea in precisely tne manner rec ommended by President Brown. The assistance given the farmers o the United States, the secretary de clared, is not confined to any locality As an instance of the aid the depart ment renders. Secretary Wilson recited the case of a farmer who was raising only 20 bushels of potatoes to the acre and who. dissatisfied, appealed to ths department for assistance and advice. Both were given him promptly and Mr Wiison says he now is raising 250 bushels to the acre on the same land as a result of using the seed and the in formation given him by the govern ment. of the English language always per forates their ideas and their thoughts. The country newspapers for the last week are arriving and practically every newspaper in Kansas spoke of the state teachers' meeting held in Topeka last week. Furthermore they spoke of the hospitality of Topeka and the unqualified success of the meeting as a whole. Every other "local" item in these papers tells of the visit of "so and so" to Topeka and comments on the fact that they had the "best time of their lives." The school notes speak of the reports given to the pupils bv the teachers who attended the meeting and some of these reports are re printed in full. They are sprinkled with good things about the capital city and the hospitality of her citizens. To give an idea of the sentiment ex pressed freely over the state through the country press the State Journal clips below a few of the comments. These are not the best comments. They are simply the comments of the first batch of papers from the first mail. If it were attempted to use all of the favorable reports there would not be space enough in this paper. However, here are a few: Topeka which is the logical conven tion town in Kansas; the place where all important gatherings should be held, entertained the Kansas Teach ers' association last week, in fine style. The Topeka people know how to en tertain; are capable of fine promises and a strict fulfillment thereof and the Free Press ventures the hope that the enterprise and the generosity which are so prevalent in the capital city will be offered to such an extent in the future that all gatherings of importance will be held in the finest capitol of the finest state in the union.

Beloit, Kan., Nov. 13. Kansas' di vorce record haB stirred the reform spirit of the young wife of a Beloit pastor to the pitch where she has de cided that it is her duty to get out and reform the world. She is Mrs. Louise Morse Dodge, wife of the Rev. W. J. Dodge, pastor of the Christian church of this place. It was Mrs. Dodge's purpose to strike at the "seat of war," and at present she is engaged in delivering a series of lectures on the subject of "Getting Married and Staying Mar ried," her field being Kansas. "I chose the subject of marriage and divorce, because this divorce busi ness has reached astounding propor tions," said the young lecturer. "I was particularly moved by the report that in Kansas in the last year the number of divorces equaled half the number of marriages. "I don't expect to do much reform ing, but it seems to me this matter should be agitated until some sort of legal restriction is exercised. We criti cise the Mormons' laws, but it is pret ty well said that, 'under the present divorce laws while the Mormon drives his wives abreast, the Gentile drives his tandem." In the promotion of domestic tran quillity, Mrs. Dodge lays stress on the practical side of married life, viz., housekeeping and cooking. Brides should know how to cook before they assume the responsibilities of married life, and on the other hand, the groom should be level headed enough not to delineate on "how mother used to cook" should she make a failure. "I see no use for the word 'obey,' but I would suggest another," con tinued Mrs. Dodge. "I would substi tute 'reason with.' That's the way my husband and I get along. When ever we disagree, we reason together (until he is convinced that I am right.") Most preachers' wives are assistant pastors in many ways, but Mrs. Dodge is one of the few who can assist to the extent of filling the pulpit and de livering a full fledged sermon. Mrs. Dodge has the title of "Rev." on her name, being an ordained preacher in the Christian church. The Rev. Mr. Dodge and wife came here from Leavenworth last Aprl. During his pastorate there Mrs. Dodge was the pastor of the church at Far ley, Mo., a small town across the riv er, making the trip to and fro each Sunday. Mrs. Dodge was the first woman graduate from the Theologi cal college of the University of Ken tucky, class '06. Ketchel to Meet I'lynn. Los Angeles. Cal., Nov. 13.

MADE CITY POSTMASTER Chicago Organization at War With the Civic federation. Chicago, Nov. 11. A desperate bat tie of wits between the Chicago police department and civic leaders is raging today. The entire city promises to be- ome involved in the controversy, with the possibility of all the heads of de partments being beheaded. The trou ble originated In the failure of the department to run the bomb throwers First Assistant P. M. General Succeeds B. F. Barnes. Washington, Nov. 13. Dr. Charles P. Grandfield, first assistant postmas ter general, was today appointed city r.ostmaster at Washington, D. C, to i ucceed the late Benjamin F. Barnes. Dr. Grandfield has been in the postal ervice about twenty-five years. ft y l '4T J 3 fh"' "j -3 to earth. In the policemen's "union" the officers have a formidable weapon v.-ith which to fight the crusaders. It is possible there will be a stirring ap l eal to Governor Deneen to include a demand for legislation in his message at the special session of the legislature. He will be asked to request the enact ment of a bill empowering the chief oi police to discharge any department head at his discretion. The officers Void that this would make a veritable czar out of the chief. Walter Fisher, the famous civic leader, is taking an active hand in the iijrht. He has a powerful organization of citizens behind him and he is the kind of a man that fights to a finish. A study of the constitution and bj--iaws of the "union" reveals that the whole plan of the organization is copied from that of the policemen's union of New York. In New Tork, it has been charged, the policemen's union possesses and exercises the power of "getting" any police official whose head it goes after. At one time, in order to "throw" an unpopular commissioner, the whole de jartment went on "strike," disregard ing orders from headquarters and en forcing the excise laws so rigorously that the mayor was compelled to re ?..Bve the unpopular police chief in crder to patch up a peace with the politicians, who had been driven into H state of frenzy. It is said that every police coramis r'.oner in New York within recent years has owed his downfall to the machina tions of the policemen's union and that Police Commissioner Bingham's recent fall was due to the fact that the "union" "got" him. From the city hall recently have come numerous reports that there is a rebellion among the policemen against certain reforms which Chief of Police Fteward is trying to inaugurate. A rpeciflc instance was cited three days r.go with reference to orders of the chief relative to gambling and the search -for the bomb throwers. 'Jt9 I t J? 1 t t v lama1MBBU HEARING $40,000 MARK V.

Several houses were unroofed and a dozen barns demol ished by a tornado that struck Hesston. 10 miles north of here, last night. No lives were lost. Damage estimated at $2,000, It appeared as though the business men of the city like flies were at tracted to the Commercial club quar ters thia noon. When the 149th man made his appearance on the scene or ders were given to the effect that it was impossible to accommodate the 150th arrival who came in due course oi time. In the room occupied by the Tope ka Advertising club at their noon hour meetings wa3 a gathering of 57 members of the Shawnee Bar as sociation who met for a social good time. In the small private room met eleven of the principals of the city schools upon the invitation of Supt. L.- D. Whittemore. There was also another meeting of the Good Roads committee of the Commercial club with the idea of planning the financial side of arrangements for the coming convention of the National Good Roads association. The meeting of the lawyers was considered a great success and it was decided to hold similar gatherings each Saturday at the noon hour. Af ter considerable discussion of the question it was decided to eliminate business from these meetings and make them purely social in nature. Judge Dana who expressed the be lief that meetings of this description are a most excellent thing said in part: "The social life among the lawyers of the city has been sadly neglected. It has been work, work, work. "The delays in legal proceedings, he continued, "haTe attracted the atten tion of the president of the United States. They are greater than they ought to be. It 's impossible for the trial court to do more than simply be a .moderator. I think that the trial judge might be allowed more liber ties than he is in the western states.. "I am very much in favor of these meetings. The members of the Shaw nee Bar association seem to tak less interest for the good of the associa tion, not only in a social but in a busi ness way than they should. If we can only get together and stand together and have an understanding that we are all members of one profession it would be a good thing."

SuTragette Attacks British Minister With a Horsewhip. Federation May Ask Churches Ob serve First Sabbath in September. Toronto, Ont., Nov. 13. "Labor Sun day" is a suggestion laid before the American Federation of Labor in a resolution introduced at today's session by Secretary Frank Morrison. The res olution would designate the first Sun day in September of each year, as an occasion when the churches of America devote some part of the day to a pre sentation of the labor question. It also recommends that the various central and local labor bodies be required to co-operate in every legitimate way with ministers who thus observe laborers day. v Bristol, England, Nov. 13. Therese Guernett, a smartly gowned suffra gette, armed with a horsewhip, at tacked" Winston Spencer Churchill here this afternoon and it was only af ter a struggle that she was restalned, j-rrested and imprisoned. Churchill and his wife had just ar i.ved by train and were leaving the railroad station when the woman broke through -the police line on the station platform and bringing down he lash of the whip upon the min ister's he-ad, shouted: "Take that, you brute?" Churchill's hat broke the force of ihe blow, but the lash curled about Ms face and left a red mark. Churchill promptly seized his as tailant and succeeded in wrenching the whip from her hands after a sharp struggle, during which the two bare ly escaped falling from the platform to the tracks below. UNCLE SAM TO APPEAL. From Decision Exempting Sugar Peo- pie From Prosecution. New York. Nov. 13. United States Dis trict Attorney Wise, acting upon instruc tions from Attorney General Wickersham, is today preparing to appeal from the de cision of Circuit Court Judge Holt, re cently rendered here, which practically frees the directors and officers of the American Sugar Refining company from prosecution in connection with the Penn svlvania Refining company shut down, wihch the federal grand jury charged had been br6uKht about by coercion exerted by the so-called "trust." DEATHON AN AUTO TRIP BABB TO GET BAIL Judge Decides That Murder Is a Bail able Offense. John Babb, bound over to the district court without bail, charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of Will Smart, a negro, on Santa Fe train No. 17, October 18, will be allowed to furnish bond. This was the indication given at the close of a hearing on a motion before Judge Dana in the district court this morning. The matter was taken under advisement as to the amount of bond re quired but it will probably be either J5.O0O or $10,000, the former sum recommended Dy tne aerense, tne latter oy uounty At torney J. J. Schenck. In bindiner Babb over for trial In the district court during the January term, Judge E. R. Simon at the preliminary hearing in the court of Topeka stated that his best judgment without investiga tion, was that the charge of murder in the first degree admitted of no bail and suggested a jnotion before the district court. The county attorney had argued mat tne onense permitted 01 no Dan ana the judge held the same view. Judge Joseph Reed for the defense con tended that it was bailable. Otis Hun gate was retained by Babb to associate with Reed in the trial. They showed to the court that since the law orovldes that all but offenses punishable by death are bailable, the amendment enacted to the statutes of 1907 repealing death sentences consequently makes all charges bailable. A case from the supreme court reports was cited to prove that such opinion has been held. The county attorney said: "I am now satisfied that it is a bailable offense," and W. I. Jamison, engaged to assist in the prosecution, asrreed. Babb. whose home is at Bedford, In diana, is a member of a number of lodges and a railroad men's brotherhood. It is thought likely that he will be able to se cure the amount of his bond from among them and his friends. LOCAL MENTION.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 190. ALL CONFIDENT. Mme. Steinheil, Her Friends and the Public, Feel Certain She Will Be Ac quitted by the Jury NO CASE AGAINST HER Prosecution Has Been Weaken ing From the Start. .Trial Delayed by Absence of the Jury's Foreman. Paris, :ov. 13. The public today awaits with confidence the acquittal of 7largherita Steinheil. Guilty or inno cent, the impression is general that the state has not made out a case against l-,er. Originally charging that she mur oered both her painter husband, Adolphe Steinheil, and her stepmother, Mme. Japy. the prosecution modified its allegations as the trial progressed, finally eliminating the charge of par licide and admitting that the accused woman might have been an accom I llce rather than the principal in the death of her husband. The confidence of the public is shared by the accused, her counsel and immediate friends. This was evidenced when Mme. Steinheil entered the court loom today. She had recovered lomewhat from the physical collapse cf yesterday and smiled faintly. Her counsel, M. Aubin, glanced first at his client and then about the court room triumphantly, as though his case was E-lready won. In case of her acquittal her friends bave arranged to spirit the widow away to some quiet place in the coun try, where she may recuperate from the effects of her trying ordeal. AH Paris, it seemed, clamored today at the doors of justice when the cur tain rose on the final act of the legal drama which has thrilled and absorbed France to the exclusion of practically everything else for ten days. Among those who gained admission were Henri Rochefort, the veteran free ance journalist, whose attempts to Bive the tragedy a political color, have ?one far to excite popular interest in the case; several well known dramat ists and playwrights and a dozen other celebrities. Jnry Foreman Was Absent. Ths resumption of the trial this afternoon with the argument of M. Aubin for the defense was delayed by the unexplained absence of the fore man of the jury, M. Poupart, a mer chant of St. Ouen. A fellow juror explained that yes terday the foreman had complained of vertigo. Judge DeValles ordered a physician sent to see Poupart and In the meantime suspended the sitting of the court. Marietta Wolf, the former cook in ihe Steinheil household, and her son Alexander, both of whom had testified for the defense, contributed to the general' excitement today with grand iloquent bursts of Indignation. Before the sitting of the court Mme. Wolf and her son were told of Ihe open intimation made in the court yesterday that they had been accom plices in the murders. Marietta turned pale at the words cl her informant, but when she recov ered herself declared that she had no tear. She asked angrily why she had not been questioned on this point vhen she was a witness and added: "It is a good thing that Alexandre was not present in court when these insinuations were made, for had he leen he would have raised a pretty row." Re jane in the Audience. Alexandre, too, made a great show o. being furious and declared that if he had been present in court when ihe prosecutor made his insinuations fce would have bounded into the arena and shouted: "Here I am! Now what have you got to say?" When court convened Marietta forced her way Into the court room and attempted to reach the Judge's bench, but she was seized by the po lice and unceremoniously dragged out of the place. The report continued current that both Marietta and Alex i ndre Wolf are in imminent danger of arrest. Among- those who bought standing loom in the court room today was Rejane, the actress. Two things must be remembered in connection with a French verdict, first the majority vote prevails, the fore man of the jury having two votes if there be a tie; second, the jurors are not confined, but are permitted to re turn to their homes at night where they are subjected to the possible in fluence of their wives. It Is notorious that whereas a majority cf the men here favor the acquittal of Mme. Steinheil the women- are prac tically unanimous in the belief that she is guilty. Mme. Steinheil Is be ing deluged with letters of every character many of them containing offers of marriage if she is acquitted. Enterprising theatrical managers are trying to arrange for her immediate appearance on the stage after release, one- having offered 2,000 for thirty appearances. Mme. Steinheil is reported as hav ing thrown these letters away In a rage. Another Juror Substituted. The afternoon was half gone when the physician returned and reported that Foreman Poupart was suffering from bronchitis. A supplementary Juror was substituted and the case resumed. The moment the proceedings opened Marietta Wolf, accompanied by her at torney, found entrance and pushing her way to me Dar, demanded in a loud voice that whereas she had been men tioned as an accomplice, she be now heard A sharp wrangle between M. Aubin unci Judge Advocate Trouard RI0II3 followed, the latter finally declining to "designate" the woman. M. Aubin re plied: "1 shall take note of these facts." At this Judge De Valles declared tho Top eka Laundry Go Cleaning,. Dyeing and Pressing We want your patronage, and desire it because we give you prompt service and first-class work.

JT liOnCS lOO incident closed and the case proceeded. Defense Begins Argument. M. Aubin. counsel for the defense be gan his argument and went at once to the heart of the case. From the first he made a good impression. His first words vtre: "Everything has been turned and re turned against my fair client; but I am certain that I can explain everything ana leave nothing in darkness." POLITICAL GOSSIP. (Continued from Page One.) phere there has a beneficent effect on the qualities of the medicine, like the waters of the famous spring on the dyes which are used to color the famous Gobelin tapestries. The governor is a great politician, and he will use his advantages to the best effect. On the other hand Senator Curtis has the national patronage, as he proved in the case of the job In At torney General Wickersham's office when he lifted out Stone and placed McCabe In the place of the governor's friend and supporter. Thus would be seen the spectacle of Curtis, with the national administra tion behind his back, and aided by federal appointees and their friends, and all the regulars of his party, and the old machine men, and in fact, most Republicans except those identi fied actively, some advantageously with the square deal, opposing Governor Stubbs and his patriot young- bat talions of reformers in the worst kind of a fight for supremacy. Would Be Bitter Fight." The friction might soon reach the proportions of a civil war. And the party would be the chief sufferer. It is recognized now generally that the governor, is an avowed and ctive and dangerous candidate for United States senator against Curtis. If he is also a candidate for a second term for governor at one and the fame time he draws the square deal and all the active forces of the state government into his fight with Curtis t-nd the latter will oppose him with every foot soldier and horseman out side the square deal ranks. The party would be split wide open and the Democrats might carry off many nice I lums. But on the other hand, if Stubbs steps down into private life at the end of his term a little over a year hence and makes his fight for Curtis' seat as a private citizen, then it Is a per. sonal matter between these two men. But on the Other Hand. The square dealers and regulars could take sides without going to war. The state forces need not be allied f.eainst the national administration forces. Even though Curtis did use lis position and patronage in his own behalf he could only gain the personal E reference of a few instead of exciting an armed revolt against the state ad ministration. Stubbs' action in giving up the governorship in order to fisht for the senatorship fairly with free hands, might more than offset the ad vantage of Curtis' federal patronage. "Jackson Would Carry Torch." The square deal policies of reform would be carried on by Jackson and Dolley and other leaders not en gaged in a personal fight with the power of the Kansas delegation at the national capital. The poison would have been removed from the mixture and yet the impetus and permanency of the square deal have lost nothing. Jackson is a member of the square deal triumvirate a regular Caesar in the battle of reform. He has taken the 33d degree. He has the caliber. He is as popular- over the state as any Kansan of them all. He is loyal to Stubbs and would continue to be strong in the faith without making war on any other element of his party. Jackson is not a candidate for governor at this time and he will doubtless support Stubbs if the latter runs a second time. but Jackson "would like to e governor, he is big enough to fill the job. He could win the nomination over all contenders and would be elected by a majority of more votes than a hard-working election clerk could count in a week." The above is the argument that the state officer makes and duly sets forth. On the other hand Stubbs likes his present place, never liked a place bet ter, needs, he says, a second term to accomplish the reforms near to his heart and to place the state on a bus iress" basis," and withal, dur'ng the short time in office is showing a grasp of affairs and trying to do. not without apparent success, things for the wel fare of the state whose interests he has at heart. The governor will probably realize of course in ume that he must line up more closely with Taft, who has Roose velt's policies in hand otherwise Stubbs must see trouble, for Taft is in the saddle and is not likely to be un horsed by any gubernatorial booms next year or put in danger thereby. Governor Says Its Buncombe. The story above has been circulated in different parts of the state this week and has come to the ears of Governor Stubbs. Speaking of it, the governor said: "It is all 'buncombe;' Just wind. The story was given out for political pur poses and to serve the ends of those who are opposed to me. This is all I have to say about it." Jackson Knows Nothing of It. Attorney General Jackson is in Eureka today but in an interview over the telephone with the State Journal in regard to any proposed plan to have him run for governor next year he said: "I know nothing at all about it. I do not know what Governor Stubbs' political plans are, but suppose he will run for a second term. If he does I am for him." WHITE SAYS ITS "POISOX." Scattered Broadcast to Hurt Jackson In Fourth District W. A. White of the Emporia Gazette, printed in the Fourth congregational district, was called up over the long distance telephone today by the State Journal in regard to the gossip that it was proposed to bring out Attorney General Fred S. Jackson as a candidate for nomination to succeed Governor Stubbs at the end of his first term, said: "This Is merely poison which has been thrown out all over the state to hurt General Jackson in this district.

Beforo leav ing Greytown after their defeat. the Nicaraguan revolutionists dynamited the two government vessels the Managua and the Norma, ships of 300- tons burden each, and burned various places in the city. This in formation is contained in a dispatch received at the Nicaraguan legation here today from President Zelaya. The recapture of Greytown, the of ficials say is of great importance to the government as heretofore all the points of the Atlantic coast have been held by the revolutionists. The vic tory over the latter presages, in their opinion an early collapse of the re bellion.. Rebel Version of the Fighting. Colon, Panama, Nov. 13. A wire less message from Bluefields, the headquarters of the provisional gov ernment established by General Es trada, leader of the Nicaraguan re bellion, gives the rebel version of the recent fighting near the Costa Ricah border. The message says: -'"Fierce fighting took place cn the tenth and eleventh at a point near Colorado bay and the San Juan river. General Toledo with several hundred government troops who had invaded Costa Rica territory in order to at tack the Nicaraguan rebels who were entrenched along the San Juan river, which forms the boundary between the two republics, was forced by Costa Rica to recross into Nicaragua. "Toledo forthwith attacked the rebel troops under General Chamorro, on the Nicaraguan side of the river. The government army consisted of in fantry and artillery, and repeatedly assaulted the- positions of the rebels. Battle l.sted 36 Hours. "Although outnumbered General Chamorro responded with, great effect. After 36 hours of desperate fighting President Zelaya's troops be came panic stricken. Both sides lost heavily in killed and wounded. "The promptness with which the government of Costa Rica expelled the Nicaraguans from Costa Rican territory shows that Zelaya will re ceive no aid from the republic to the south. "A lack of arrangements has pre vented the rebels from advancing. Arms are expected daily. The gov ernment forces have been expected at Greytown on the tenth and hoped to proceed thence to Bluefields. This defeat checks the advance for some time and indicates Chamorro's ability to hold the San Juan valley. General Estrada still holds all the territory east of the 85th parallel, that is- the eastern half of Nicaragua, except a few miles on the San Juan river. Business is being carried on without interruption at Bluefields, Cape Gracas, the northeastern extremity of Nicaragua, and at San Juan Del Norte, Greytown. "The provisional government is be ing maintained in an orderly manner, and it is expected that the United States will soon recognize the govern ment of Estrada as an independent republic." TAFT'S TRAIN LATE. Delayed toy a Series of Accidents Along the Route. Washington. Nov. 13 President TaCt returned here at 10 o'clock from his brief visit to Connecticut. The president's train was; 15 minutes late, the delay being caused by the bursting of the pipe that connected the president's car with the car ahead of it. The president was not endangered. An open drawbridge over the Susequc; hanna river at Perryville, Md., also contributed to the late arrival. Secretary Carpenter and Henry W. Taft, the president's brother, met him at the union station. Horace D. Taft, another brother, who accompanied the president from Connecticut, left the train at Baltimore. The president was at once driven to the White House. "RAYMOND" IS DEAD. He Worked for the Chicago Tribune 31 Years. Washington, Nov. 13.

Two. boys rambling in a pasture one mile south of town found the remains of a man who evidently had been murdered a month or six weeks ago, as the skeleton with the exception- of his breast and a few clinging hairs on his skul! had been picked clean by coyotes and buzzards. The theory of murder is evidenced by a crushed skull, either made by a blunt' instrument or a bullet at close range from a pistol of large caliber and the finding of the remains covered with sunflower stalks and weeds and hidden in a "draw." A few rods distant, near the Santa Fe, track, a blood-stained shirt was found, but it is not thought he met with an accident. He was a man about 50 years old. about 5 feet 8 inches in height and had reddish grav hair. He wore a pair of patched trousers and his hat, shirt and snoes all went to show that he was a laborin-r man. His bones were gathered up and brought to town and an inquest will be held. There was not a scrap of paper or anything .to disclose his identity. WOMEN AID REBEL CAUSE Poor Work in Fields and. Wealthy Sell Their Jewelry. New Orleans, La., Nov. 13.

Consul General Louis Sequira, repre senting the so called provisional gov ernment at New Orleans, nas received letters stating that President Zelaya is attempting to win back the revolution ists by promising them pardon and im munity from punishment if they win lay down their arms. It is asserted not a man has accepted the offer. HOOK MAY MOVE UP. Kansan Being Considered for Vacant Scat on Supreme Bench. Kansas City, Nov. 13. A private Mspatch from Washington says that Judge W.

This is exactly in accordance with the suggestion in our last letter that the mar ket had had a sufficient decline and was In a position for a good advance. The bearish items that were, so prevalent last week seem to have spent their force and faded away, giving place to news of a substantial character that warrant higher prices for this cereal. Perhaps the most potent bullish factor of the week is the report from Argentine from sources that seem reliable, to the effect that their crop is seriously damaged by locusts. Other items that gave a materially strengthen ing tendency to the market is the falling off of receipts at primary points. The lightening up of the movement from first hands in the northwest is especially noticeable. Millers in all sections of the country report a good demand for flour and in many cases are sold ahead. There is considerable talk of concentrated hold ing of December wheat and consequently the possibility of a squeeze in this option causes the short to be very uneasy. As compared to the closing at our last writ ing December wheat is about 5&c and May 3c higher. CORN Corn has maintained strength al of the week, and while the appreciation in Drice has not been great, we believe this commodity is in a position to have quite a material advance in the near tu- ture. There is a good demand for all of the old corn for feeding purposes and as yet the new corn is not coming to market ireeiy, a lime speii 01 oaa weainer would cause apprehension about receipts for the near future. PORK Pork remains phenominally strong and has scored another good ad vance for the week. Today being the high est close yet recorded. It seems to us that the present figure, $0.32, for May pork is high enough, but with the general bull en thusiasm that prevails in all speculative aticles, it may be too soon to commence operations on the bear side. We believe, however, if a person can watch and catch the turning point, May pork will prove profitable. COTTON One year ago today December cotton was selling at $11.56, today's closing price is $14.49, about 25 per cent higher than a year ago. We are of course aware that the cotton crop this year is reported as being somewhat short, still the esti mates indicate about 11,000,000 bales, which is iy no means a famine. The present situation reminds us to some extent of the conditions that existed early in 190C, bullish enthusiasm had prevailed all over the country, everybody had cotton bought at high plrces, pinning their faith to a leader who one day tried to sell his hold ings with a result that cotton broke over HO a bale In one day and continued to de cline until it had reached a normal price, resulting in disaster to thousands of peo ple who had in the excitement made pur chases at a price far above any reasonable commercial value. In our opinion cotton today is In a very dangerous condition for the speculator and those who are not in terested will do well to leave it alone and parties having profits on long contracts wil lnot regret it if they sell out. STOCKS Our advices lead us to the be lief that there is the possibility of a stringent money market abroad. The Bank of England is already considering the matter of higher rates of interest. A move of this kind might affect our own stock market so far as issues that are not on a solid foundation are concerned. We have reference to Copper stock and the like that are listed and traded on the New York Curb. These stocks have shown no apparent strength of late and could easily become -demoralized. We would suggest to holders of Inspiration and securities of that character that it would be a good plan to unload. Inspiration is capitalized for one million shares, par value $10 per share. The com pany is reported to own about 4fi0 acres of land in Gella county, Arizona: is not a dividend payer, and the -question arises, Is this property worth two milion-dollars. Topeka Market..

The Co-operative Plan. "Let's aee? Didn't your house start In on the co-operativs plan last year?" wa asked of the hardware drummer after he had told his latest story. "Yes, It did," was the reply. "I thought yon said something about It when you were here last. I see by the papers that Shonts says all manufacturers and merchants must adopt the idea." "Tea, he says so." "It would bring employer and employe closer together." "Yes, It would." "And give the latter something to look forward to beyond his weekly wage or salary." 'Just so." "How did It work In the case of your nouse?" "Fine fine." "How much of a dividend did yon get when things were figured up?" "Not a blamed cent." "Hey what! I am speaking of the co operative plan, you know." "And so am I. You divide np the profits or the losses with the boss. After he had finished his new mansion, taken a trip to Europe and bought three auto mobiles there was a loss of ten thousand dollars to be divided up among us, and that's the reason I can't afford a fifteen cent cement patch on that shoe." JOE KERR. OF COURSE. "A friend in need is a friend. Indeed,' A lie! It should be nailed; For "If at first yon don't succeed," He'll tell you why you failed. ANOTHER GUESS COMING.

Mb Rah, rah, rah, for the football girl! You set them all In a happy whirl, With your chasing down the field as fleet, On the very tips of your dainty feet.l In front of you naught but an empty field, To your smiles the enemy has to yield! At running ends you may not shine, But In rushing hearts your game ia fine! A Football Legend. JUST HEARD OF IT. Whiz I am afraid we are going to lose our landlady. Quia Where is she going?

Whiz Run a boarding-house and give three square meals a day, spring, summer and autumn. 3IM RIGGLES he was the son of his dad, Anl he lived in a Hoosier town; And the length of his legs was a sight to see As he walked np the hills and down. He could straddle a fence the same as you Can straddle an old peach can; And h.s legs streamed out like banners bold As over the meadows he ran. To kick the old cow Jim simply had To kick from his feet to his knees; And extending his leg in sportive mood He'd kick down a chimney with ease. Jim never had seen a football game 'Till his legs were 'leven feet long; Then a match was made and he was on hand, A-rooting it fierce and strong. He saw them kicking the stout pigskin He heard the loud yells of applause; His legs got an ache to be in the game. And he gestured about with his paws. Then all of a sudden long Jim was there. And the kickers fell back in affright; As his foot shot ont and hit the ball And Bent it aloft out of sight. He kicked the ball to right and left And he -kicked to centerfleld; He kicked it high and he kicked it low. And not to a man would he yield. And he kicked the nmpire stiff and cold. And then he kicked over the score; He kicked down the fence and he kicked out the cops. And the grand stand was standing no more. When nothing was left then Jim gave a yell, And the yeU was one of great Joy; With both feet went a kick, and it was his last. And never again, the poor boy. JOE KERR. BUT LITTLE WATER THERE.

SIR," said the old kicker on the rear platform of the street car to the man who was smoking a cigar with great complacency, "last month I went to Washington to see our President. The name of our President is Mr. Taft." "Yes, I have heard of him," was the mild reply. "I called at what is known as the White House." "And I've heard of that." "I sent in my card. It was sent back to me. They said Mr. Taft didn't happen to be in." -"No, I guess he wasn't" "I called four times that day and re ceived the' same reply each' time.

"But what do you think of such con duct, sir such conduct toward an Ameri can citizen toward a patriot- who voted for him toward a citizen who went to Washington solely to give him pointers on how to run his administration. Yes, sir, tell me what you think of It." "I think," slowly replied the other with out losing any of the goodness of his cigar, "I think you had better have in vested a penny in a .daily newspaper be fore going to Washington." "For why, sir for why?" "You would have learned from it that he was out West making inquiries about the huckleberry crop and advising the farmers to raise more cucumbers.

THis Loohed Sure. mY dear teacher, who says that Hen drik Hudson was no more of a Dutchman than she is, has asked me to write a composition on the North Pole, and, I therefore say: "The North Pole is a very cold spot, and if there were any water pipes there the plumbers wonld be as rich as John D. Rockefeller. "Sometimes the temperature sinks down as low as 87 degrees, and at such times the Polar bears holler for more coal. "The boy who goes swimming at the North Pole at once becomes a frozen her ring, and in that state can be kept for months. The Eskimos rub their children down with an icicle Instead of bathing them. "Doctor Cook reached the North Polo and found no signs of life not even a boy on roller skates. He says it mad. him lonesome. "Mr. Peary also reached, the North Pol. and he says Jie didn't see a single gen tleman there not even Doctor Cook. He had therefore to take off his hat to the oie. "It was supposed that there was an open sea at the Pole, and that hundreds of girls dressed in white were to be seen paddling about In gondolas, but we have bad to give that idea up. "No one has yet found out why the Pole should be so cold, but It is generally laid to the fact that there are no poli ticians there to call each other "-horse thieves and other names. -""At the Pole it Is six months day and six months night, and a boy can play six months and sleep the other six. This is the best news we have yet received from that coontry. "My teacher says she'll be durncd if she ever goes to the old North Pole, and 1 sax the same, and with these few remark.

OF tlR S AN& J CQttfeSSES HIS ClME- season i BALD ARE WISER. The Scientists Say Good Things About Marble Tops. "More Brains and Less Hair" Is Adopted Creed. BALDNESS IS A STUDY Man's Good Traits Determined by Hair Patches. Noted Great Men Proud of Their Shiny Scalps. Cleveland, O.. Nov. 13. Hear ye! Hear ye! All you Baldheads, come to order and give heed. Here in John D.'s home It has been discovered that nature does not put marble tops on cheap furniture. The champion bald head of the world, John D. Rockefel ler, with all his millions refuses to extremely ambitious and desirous of winning popular applause. Vanity also enters into his composition and supersensitlvenesa, providing the whole region of self-esteem and ap probativeness are bald. "Robert Ingersoll betrayed In his bald head decided independence and little disposition to regard the opin ions of others. Popular sentiment has little effect upon a man of this stamp. "Baldness upon the top of the head, where there is no possibility of a part, accompanies a sympathetic type of mind. All philanthropists and sympathetic people are not bald, but where baldness is found in this re gion these characteristics are sure to predominate. When there is no hair at all on top of the head the quality of respect for character and age is largely developed, but not necessarily a regard for creeds and doctrines. Fine imagination and breadth of thought accompanies this type of bald ness. Anthony Hope, the novelist, is a good example of this type. "Baldness on the upper temples is a sign of great adaptability of charac ter. The imitative talent is not prom inent, but there Is sufficient pliability of mind to allow the person to ac commodate himself to the position. There is also insight, which enables him to draw out the various charac teristics of those about him. He can handle large subjects in a compre hensive manner. Such a person can re SSBBSaHnununuBnuunuaiBHaasSSSBBSHI may also be determined today. State's Attorney Wilson' announced Ills intention of getting in communica tion with Judge. W. N. Butler of the circuit court to confer with him con cerning the advisability of calling an f-xtra inquisitorial body. Jt Is likely, however, that the matter will be left lor the next regular grand jury which is to meet early in December. Under present conditions of public opinion it is conceded by the local peace authorities that the chances of obtaining indictments against members of Thursday night's mob are remote. TONE IS BUOYANT. Industrial Reports Show Full Time and Plenty of Orders. Here Are All Types or Bald Heads. Bpend a penny to cover up his marks of distinction. It is usually the man who does not want his character read like an open book, who has some thing to hide from the world, who de cides to wear false hair. So says the latest science. Now. gentle friend, if you are hair less, where and how much? Is your hair Just getting, a little thin on top? Are you bald Just above the temples? Has the wind ceased to whistle through the wavy locks on your crown If so, get up on your feet and give three cheers for science, for sci ence has made you a man among men. You have brains. Having gray mat ter, who cares about the hair? Don't let your wife cajole you Into wearing something akin to a rat. Do not al low your sweetheart to insist upon having some long silk curls to stroke In later years. Just tell them all to like it for you haven't anything that does not belong to you and you have brains, brother, brains! Listen to what science says. "Various emotions and qualities of tnind take their births in different parts of the brain. Hence, Just as one persons varies in characteristics from another, so his brain is differently de veloped and his head differently shaped. "The part of a man's brain which Is most active is the region where the circulation is most stimulated. Other parts of the brain are comparatively cold and inactive. The greater the Sower the more the blood will be rawn to those areas, not, as most persons suppose through the arteries and veins only, but also through the pia mater, which dips down between the convolutions and which is an im mediate cause of the transmission of arterial circulation to the convolu tions. "The baldness found in different parts of the head is really a study of cerebral Importance. Sudden change of temperature in the convolutions of the brain, caused often by sudden and excessive activity of certain organs, sometimes cause rupture of a capil lary, succeeded by a slight extravasa tion of blood, which eventually occa sions baldness. "So the phrenologist, by recognizing the qualities belonging to different portions of the brain, can determine, to a certain extent, the prevailing characteristics of a man by the na ture of his baldness. "The man who is bald at the crown of his- head will be found to be a per son of great independence of mind and Inclined to be self-assertive. He will express his views regardless of oppo sition, and will be apt to be head strong and domineering. He will be somewhat egotistical and occasionally Signified. "Where the baldness extends to the rides of he crown the person will be bend circumstances and people to his will." RIOTING IS OVER. No Further Trouble Is Expected at Cairo. Cairo, 111., Nov. 13. Orders for the mobilization of the Fourth regiment cf the Illinois National guard which has occupied Cairo since early yester day were confidently expected by the commanders of the organization this morning. The absence last night of any sign of a disposition to renew mob rule and the safe arrival at Kankakee of Arthur Alexander, who was escorted from here late yesterday by two com 1 antes of militia, led both the local end state authorities to believe that there was no chance of further disturb ance in this city. Alexander, who is suspected of com rlicity In the murder of Annie Pelley, s the only Individual in whom mem oers of the mob now have any interest. The announced intention of Sheriff Davis and General Wells was to land the negro at some point so far re moved from Cairo that no attempt would be made to take him from the properly constituted peace authorities and it is the general opinion here that this object was fully accomplished by the journey to Kankakee. It Is considered altogether probable that at least half of the militia force cf 600 men will be relieved of riot duty today. Indictments Unlikely. Just what companies will be sent home is not settled, but among the first to be relieved will be that from Car bondale, Champaign and Effingham. The first of these reached Cairo be fore daylight yesterday, hours in ad vance of any other companies, except the local contingent of the regiment, while the Effingham and Champaign men were sent north to guard Alexan der last night. They probably will be ordered home from Kankakee. Whether a Bpecial grand jury is to be summoned to consider Dossible charges against members of the mob New York, Nov. 13. Bradstreet's says Continued mild weather is helpful to building and outdoor construction work and facilitates, fall plowing and winter wheat growth, but at the same time is a source of considerable complaint as to its effect on retail trade and heavy dry goods, clothing and heavy wearing ap parel. In other wholesale lines, however, reports are still to a high degree ravor able: holiday demand is especially ac tive and spring business is being booked in good volume, except where, as in cot ton goods, high prices and uncertainty as to future prices of raw material check, selling operations. The general tone of affairs commercial is buoyant. In industry generally the report is still one of well filled order books and of full time run.

In addition to the committee of scientists a number of stage magicians, includ ing Keller, who has retired from pub lic performances, will take part to make certain that there is no employ ment of sleight-of-hand methods by the medium. As not more than seven people can be admitted at one time It will be necessary for the eighteen scientists to split into three parties and compare notes afterward. Three separate groups are interest ed in the seances, and each group is to have a series of sittings. The first group consists of the scientists, who will all be invited guests that is to say, they will not be called upon to pay the customary fee. Their pres ence has been requested inasmuch as it is felt that if Mme. Palladino's manifestations are to be taken se riously they must be attested by men with minds trained In psychical re search. The second group includes the body of subscribers, amateurs in the field of spiritual investigation, who paid the expenses of Mme. Pal ladino's trip to give scientists in this country the benefit of her help In plucking the veil from the unknown. Thirdly, there is the Psychical Re search Society. The series of seances is likely to ex tend over a long period, for the me dium is equal to only one sitting a week. Eusapia's best known "miracles" are: A peculiar cold breeze that seems to issue from a scar on her forehead. This breeze has been known to cause a thermometer to drop several de grees. She causes strange hands and forms to appear about her. She makes any light article of fur niture follow the movements of her hands as though it were magnetized. A cold breeze from her left knee sometimes blows her skirt out almost horizontally. She causes hands and faces to be produced on jclay that has been pre viously covered with netting. She can lift a table without touch ing it. v Loud raps frequently occur in re mote parts of the room while she is giving a sitting. She can cause small objects to move toward her. She can make musical instruments play if they are concealed behind a curtain. Frequently curtains in the room when she is giving a sitting will move and blow as if some one were behind them. Those who believe in Eusapia Pal ladino believe that all the manifesta tions which she produces are caused by her power to externalize her force, to project herself, astrally, outside her own body. Palladino is so abnormally consti tuted, these converts hold, that she can materialize her astral self roughly, her thought body and the objects they believe are moved by these externalized limbs; tables raised by them and the mysterious breeze from the scar on her head is but the "sense record" of this materialization of the vital force. Eusapia is now 55 years old. She was born in the Italian 'village of Pouille and her mother died while giving her birth. GARFIELD GOING OUT.

Although former Secretary GarfleM asserts this series of addresses has no direct bearing upon the current con troversy over the alleged breach ot Roosevelt's conservation program, it followed his refusal to comment upon the last statement of Secretary Bal linger, that he had "not reversed the Roosevelt-Garfield policies," but that he "had done what Mr. Garfield him self had done." "I cannot talk of the matter until I have seen the entire statement mads by Mr.' Ballinger, 'and I have sent to Washington for such a copy," said the former secretary.

MEWMO'S It is high time that the oft repeated claim that "chronio baldness can be cured" be filed away with the old announcement that the moon is made of green cheese. The claim is untrue, and aside from this it in duces many people to ignore the chances they have to prevent baldness. The greatest striae toward the ultimate elimination of baldness was the discovery by Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Germany (ask your doctor about him), that most hair loss is due to an invisible growth, of vegetable character, in the scalp literally a "dandruff germ," producing a highly contagious disease. The greatest stride toward the prevention of baldness was tne recent discovery of a prophylactic fluid called NEWBRO'S HER PIC1DE, which, if intelligently used will destroy the dandruff germ and prevent baldness. j'm x dinary success for dandruff and falling hair, also dull, brittle and lustre leas hair has broueht out many imitations.

C)0C1ETY An enthusiastic guest at the re ception last night given by Mr. and Mrs. John Foos Norton and Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Hoult. was heard to say: "This is certainly a dream of fair women and a gathering of courtly gentlemen." More than two hundred people were there in spite of the rain, and instead of making the con ventional call, the guests remained during the entire evening. This is the first visit of Mr. and Mrs. Hoult to Topeka. since their marriage last December and their subsequent trip abroad. Mrs. Ernest Roberta Mr. Hoult's daughter, is here with Mr. Roberts on their first visit to Topeka and were the guests of honor last night. The affair was one of the big events of the season. The rooms were decorated in palms and yellow chrvsanthemums. On each of the window sills in the reception hall wereAbouquets or small palms, and the rch-estra was hidden by a bank of large palms. The round cedar wood table in the supper room was deco rated with a center bank of ferns topped with large yellow chrysanthe mums, and iittle Japanese 'mums. The flowers reached to the chandelier which was huns with smilax vines through which the lizhts flickered on the table beneath. Around the edge of the table were high candlesticks of antique silver, bearing yellow can dle The prevailing tone of yellow was carried out in the decorations in compliment to Mrs. Roberts whose dress was of that color, a beautiful nrin-Mw nrau de soie trimmed in cold embroidery. The bodice was cut low at the throat.' She wore a band or gold :n her hair and a necklace and crescent of diamonds. Mrs. Roberts i a petite brunette, wun me of youth and prettiness. Mrs Norton, who was the first in the receiving line was dressed in a white embroidered lingerie and wore a necklace of Spanish topaz and oriental pearls. Mrs. Hoult wore a white lace dress trimmed with a garniture of pearls extending from the corsage nearly to the hem of the skirt and outlining a fichu on the bodice. She carried a fan of point lace with sticks of pearl. Mrs. John son wore a black lace dress trimmed with jet, and the yoke of net was md.de over white satin. Her choice of black was especially gooo. auu brought out bv contrast her beautiful white hair. Mrs. Norman Wear, who would look like a queen in anything she wore, was dressed In a cream white corded chiffon, cut low in the neck and finished hv bands of gold trimming. The gown was unusually graceful with its long train and low sash. Mrs. Guilford Dudley was dressed in a lace gown made over pink satin and trimmed elaborately with rosebuds. Mrs. L. H. Munn wurp nn em broidered and beaded u-hite lace robe on a foundation of 'white satin. The lace was draped nvpr the arms and fell half the length of the skirt. Mrs. Jonathan Thomas wes dressed in black lace trimmed in 1r The voke and sleeves were imnflp over blue satin and was out lined by a strip of black fur. Mrs. K. H. Crosby wore a dress of lavender silk trimmed in beads, and the yoke of laoe was finished in blue. Mrs. Pettyjohn' was dressed in a baby-blue lrniirlrloth. made with lig train and elaborately trimmed with noint lace, gold embroidery, and nearl and gold beads. She wore a hat of blue moire to match the dress. ahum Marcrxrr-t .Tetmore wore a becom inc dress of pink chiffon, and while hr personal charm would make her attractive at any time, she is now the object of special attention, just te 1 the world loves a lover. Mrs. 15. F. Akt-rs wore an Atlantic blue broadcloth trimmed in blue and mild. One would think men should always be asked to big affairs where women wear their prettiest clothes, and the reason is apparent to those who go to atter- Tuion parties that men do not attend, It is not so much that the. men may 3iavf a good time, nor even that they ar.ay sec how beautiful their wives and KWioethearts may look at their best; but it is because they afford such a good plain background for the exquisite pic ture that the women make in their elab orate and dainty clothes. You see, the "tailor-vl presence" scatters the details over the canvas and brings them out in! a striking way. It is well that' the man should understand their mission and know why they go to parties. The receiving -party, were assisted by Mrs. Willis ortom Mrs. unaries s. Elliott. Mrs. Guilford Dudley. Mrs. P. Ci. Noel, Mrs. T. B. Sweet. Mrs. George M.: Noble, Mrs. Joab Mulvane, Mrs. F. N. Lynch, Mrs. M. A. Low, Mrs. A. A. Robinson. Mrs. Jonathan Thomas. Mrs. 'Abram Hammatt. Mrs. E. A.

One of Mrs. Ncrton"s guests last night was heard to say: "I love parties like this whero everybody has a good time. I wish I could' go to one every night, but that might after all take off the edge of the enjoyment, and like the lit tle girl that wanted Christmas every day, I suppose I would soon be throwin things." it is sureiy gratirying know that you have given more than 200 3 DON'T GET 1 nat trie Optical business is all wo have.

EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON When are your father's and your mother's birthdays? .Do you know and do you always remember them? A girl whose family completely for got her birthday last year told me though she was 26 years old; she ac tually cried herself to sleep, over it. Mothers and fathers don t do that because mothers and fathers are peo ple who seldom cry except over their children's sorrows, but I wonder if they don't feel like it sometimes as the birthday that used to mean so much when they were young passes by just like other days. Of course, 1 know mat in a great many homes the grown-up ioiks birthdays are celebrated just like the children's, but I am afraid that in a trrpat manv more they are nor.

Doesn't that sound attractive and suggestive to you? Several boys who were playing rjiar bles for keeps were arrested recently for gambling.
