Nearly 200 Men Are Unaccount ed For Among Those Who Were Buried in the St. Paul Mine. 0 DEAD ARE FOUND Where It Was Expected There Would Be a Large dumber. Searchers Hare Already Passed Far into the Galleries. Cherry, III.. Nov. 22. Two exploring parties in the St. Paul mine today found indications which led them to be lieve there are a large number of liv ing men in the east workings. The searchers were able to pass far Into the galleries and their hope springs from the fact that where they expected to find a large number of dead, none was found. Nearly 200 men are still unaccounted for, dead or alive. James Lewison, a member of the rescuing party In the St. Paul, mine, said he heard a human voice on the other side of the cave-in. He said he heard the voice plainly, although it sounded as though it was far away. Lewison immediately called the atten tion of the other workmen U. the place from which the voice came, but they could hear nothing. ,-I would swear that I heard some one calling through the caveiii," he said. "It sounded like they were far away or were so weak they could not shout loudly. Those people are alive and the sooner we get to them tne better, because I do not believe they can last much longer." Ten dead were brought to the surface yesterday and more than fifty bodies were located in the second level, but were not brought up on account of black damp. The rescue of the twenty miners Sat urday spurred the workmen to super human efforts. All Saturday night and Sunday they worked in 9-hour shifts to dislodge tons of earth and stone that blocked the passage way to the im prisoned miners. Worked Till They Fell. Several members of the rescue party worked until they fell in exhaustio.i and had to be carried from the mine. Several members of the rescue party are certain they have heard signals from the east end of the tunnel where the miners are supposed to be im prisoned. While ten bodies were brought to the surface today, raising the total of bodies to fifty-nine, more than fifty .dead were left lying in the tunnels be low. The rescuers brought out only those bodies that were in the way. Kvery effort was centered on the at tempt to rescue the living. The bodies of the miners are said to be piled several deep along the sides of the tunnel. They are lying with dead mules. Four hundred pounds of chloride of lime and 3,000 tons of bichloride of mercury, dissolved in water, have been sent into the mine to be used as a disinfectant and to neutralize the odor. A fire in the mine caused some uneasiness. The blaze started in the second vein within fifty feet of the main shaft. Chicago firemen, how ever, entered the mine and ex tinguished the flames within a short time. Little damage Was done, be yond stopping the work of the res cuing party. Hope Is Revived. Tidings of discovery were relayed rapidly to those waiting in the chilling rain and snow about the shaft top to lay and the hope which had receded to the lowest ebb was revived. A woman, wife of one of the men brought out alive Saturday evening and whose brother still is one of the miss ing, placed her arms about one of the t bawl-draped women, whose watch about the pit mouth has begun each clay hours before the rising of the sun and ended long after midnight. "Cheer up- dear." she whispered. "Didn't I tell you John would come up? There are Scotchmen down there. They'll take care of them. When the men et to the ends they'll fir:d them walled in and ready for another week of it." Faith in the Scotch miners and their ability to care r.ot only-for themselves l-ut their companions is now held by the mine officials ;s well as the rela tives of those still "down there." Rumors of hearing: the voices or sig rals of miners from the east gallery, spread about the town today, were Tromptly discredited by mine officials. No indication, save the absence of the dead from the east gallery has pointed to the existence of other living men. Daybreak today came with a steady downpour of rain and snow and chill ing winds that banished the morbid throngs from tl.e scene. Close to the dimly outlined shaft structure womep huddled together as if seeking consolation in community. The unvarying garb of coarse shawls, wrapped closely about the wearers, ltaving a view only of peering eyes and unkempt wisps of hair blowing about marked the waiting women of Cherry. Burying the Dead. Three times the one hearse of the town made slow trips past the mine entrance, over half formed trails of clay and mud to the field outside the town, which has become its cemetery. v No vehicles accompanied it on the lonely journeys. Twice a knot of mourners, numbering less than a dozen stumbled along behind it and about the hastily opened but half water filled graves, they knelt while the bodies were lowered No church services have attended any of the funerals held in the town for several days, the coroner's edicts pre venting the entry of the bodies into the edifices before their Interment. Rescuers coming to the surface a, noon reported that live rats had been discovered in a newly explored portion of the mine. This increased the hope that the rats came from remote sec tions of the cave In, where compara tively pure air remained and that if the rats could live there, men aUo could. "The noise of the rats scurrying: over the loose dirt at first was thought tJ lie men oenina a wan, said omt ae the rescue gang. "We stopped to listen. U Bounded like scratching and our heart; stood still for a moment, for we thought we were about to come upon another crowd of live men. We listen ed long enough to convince ourselves that it was only rats, however. Would Follow the Hats. "The significance of this is that dread black damp does not lie alons the floor of a great part of the mine. The men whom we are trying to reach on the supposition that they are still alive are practical miners and If they heard rats they quickly got to that part of the mine." An official of the mine declared that if any more men arei brought out "ativ.3 the work would have to be done within 24 hours, as the men must necessarily be almost starved. Rata he said, would be able to live longer because of their ability to find crumbs and scraps of food scattered about from the men's lunches. Reports that the Work of attempting to reach miners who still may be alive was being retarded by a. conflict of au thority between leadi of the coal company forces and those of the stato of Illinois resulted in a. serious confer ence last night. The delay in bringing out the deaS, whose bodies were seen in the black damp yesterday caused rumors of un due caution on the part of those upon whom hundreds of women and children depend for the rescue of members of their families, dead or alive. Last night Captain F. W. Latimer of company C, Sixth regiment I. N. G., and Lieutenant G. P. Garrison brought their pointed interrogations to W. W. Tavlnr mstia Of.r nf t Via minA rr-ii, did not deciare that work was belli delayed by factional strife, but did state that if reports that work was be- ing hampered by a conflict of authority were true. Governor Deneen would be asked to appoint a supreme authority at the mine. Manager Taylor assured the militia officers that the only conflicts that had occurred were of a technical nature and that the course adopted was now gen erally believed to be most promising of rescue to any who still may be alive in the mine. The work of taking out 31 bodies first seen by rescuers yesterday began this afternoon. The carcasses of four mules were first carried out to permit the taking up of the bodies. The bodies were found in an onen gallery and evidently the men had died in the first rush to escape from the mine. Bovomment Experts oil Watch. Washington. Nov. 22. Word received early today, by officials of the United States geological survey from Cherry, 111.. th scene of the mine disaster. Is that the fire in the mine is giving tne government experts much anxiety. They are watching the situation closely in order to protect the lives of the many volunteer rescuers. The gases in the mine are being analyzed constantly in order that the rescuers can be notified of Impending dangers. Certain mixtures of 'fire damp and oxygen are almost instantly fatal and the government experts are watching for any approach to this condition. PHILLIPS HOLDS COURT. Exchanges Places With Judge Pollock on the Federal Bench. With Judge John F. Phillips of Kansas City on the bench, the regular November torm of the United States circuit court convened here this morn ing. The docket was called when court opened and of the 72 law and 66 equity cases a part of them were as signed and the remainder held over until this afternoon at 2 o'clock when this work was resumed. Suits growing out of the attempts to collect insurance policies on the life of the late Lucius H. Perkins of Law rence, were passed by the court to be argued before Judse Pollock. The continuance, dismissal, or assignment to place on the term calendar, will probably be the only disposition of cases in the federal court session to day, following which the hearing of suits set for their respective dales will be gone into. Announcement was made bv Judge Phillips that he will remain her only during this week- and perhaps a part of next. He will then return to Kan sas City where Judge Pollock 's now holding court in his stead. That he will remain here and hear some cases next week is evidence in his having set for hearing next Monday case No. 8771. Although the case of Private Charles O'Neill, U. S. A., has not been assigned to its place on the term calendar, it will be for hearing at this term and shortly after the assignment of cases the jury will be called in for the trial. O'Xeill, is .charged with the murder of Minnie Sharbeno. a French servant girl, at the Fort Leavenworth military reservation last July. Ordinarily government criminal cases are tried in the United States district court, but in cases where capital crimes are charged the de fendants according to the law must be tried in the circuit court. Only three cases were assigned to their plr.ces this morning: No. 8752 Michael McGuire against Rock Island railroad, Friday, Novem ber 26. No. 8753 John T. Rock Island railroad, Gleason against Friday. Novem- ber 26. No. 8771 John D. Winters, against Henry Grika, Monday. November 29. MRS. KELLY IS DEAD. Was Mother or IS Children, Including Ex-State Treasurer. Olathe, Nov. 22. Mrs. K. W. Kelly, mother of ex-State Treasurer Kelly, died here this morning of a complica tion of troubles 'due to old age. She came- to Kansas in 1870. Until 12 years ago she resided on a Johnson county farm. Since that time she has lived n this city. She leaves a hus band, eight sons and five daughters. Among the sons are T. T. Kelly, ex state treasurer and J. D. Kelly, who was an assistant under his brother in the office. On account of the intention of re latives in Ohio and Oklahoma to at tend the funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. MERRIAM SELLS FARM. Gets $100 an Acre for i2S Acres West of Alysdale.

Must Repair Central Branch or State W ill Get Receiver. APPEALED TO GOULD. But Governor's Telegram Was Ignored by the Millionaire. Central Branch Must Be Fixed Up One Way or Another. "The state of Kansas is going to do something with the Central Branch railroad, and do it quickly," said Gov ernor Stubbs today, "if the Missouri Pacific does not take some action at once." According to the governor's statement made today in emphatic fashion, the end of the long procession of fair prom ise's has been reached. There must be something done at once or Attorney General Jackson will be instructed to institute a suit in the supreme court to throw the Central Branch into the hands of a receiver. The state will act as receiver in this event and fix up the road and turn it back over the corn pany upon payment of the bill of ex penses for this work. This step was made possible by a law passed by tho last legislature and has been macle a necessity by the railroad company's de lay of two years in acceding to the de mand that something be done. Prize Bad Roadbed. Speaking further about the Central Branch, Governor Stubbs said: "It is the worst piece of railroad I know of anywhere. It is an outrage that the people of Kansas have had to put up with such service for so long. For three years now the company have been putting us off with promises. They have, during this time spent millions of dollars on their through lines to the Pacific coast and have let the Central Branch go to the dogs. Their policy has been that Kansas people, fro.xi Atcnison to tne western border, can pay for standard service and then put up with the worst railroad service in this country. The limit has been reached. "Two months ago I took up the mat ter of the Central Branch with Attor ney Dawson of the railroad board and the board will soon take steps through the regulation channels to stir up the company to action. Dispatch to Gould. "Last Friday I sent the following dispatch to Geo. J. Gould, president of the Missouri Pacific: 'George J. Gould, President -Missouri Pacific Railway, 195 Broadway, New York City. j "'The Kansas board of railway commissioners have during the past two years been urging the Missouri Pacific railway to improve its road bed in Kansas and furnish better ser- j vice to its patrons. While some pro gress has been made there are several hundred miles of your road in this state where the road-bed and the ser vice furnished is a shame and dis grace. The Central Branch running from Atchison to Lenora is a con spicuous example of a railroad traversing the richest farming com munity in the world where the service and tracks are bad beyond com parison. Will you kindly advise me immediately and definitely what im provements you propose to make on this Central- Branch and when you propose to make them.' "Now I have not even received a reply to this message. I believe that the time has come to act. The state has been put off long enough. This Central Branch road has become a byword and a reproach to the state and the time has come for action. If the company does not get busy at once the state will." The governor has been in com munication with the mayor of Water ville. the town in which indignation meetings against the Central Branch have been held, and is in close touch with present conditions and with pub lic sentiment on the matter. The law under which the state can act in this receivership matter was passed bv the legislature last winter and by its provisions the courts can appoint a receiver for any line of road that refuses to provide adequate service to the traveling and shipping public. There should be no trouble then, under this law. in getting a re ceivership for the Central Branch. It is expected, in view of Governor Stubbs' statements this morning, and the f'aroe of mind he is in in regard to the matter, that the attorney gen eral will very soon be instructed to start proceedings against the road in the supreme court for a receivership. That is, unless the company take some action at once to convince the governor that they mean to improve the road in question as soon as pos sible. SAYS JURY WAS DRUNK.

Found Against Sugar Trust Employes Charging Conspiracy. New York, Nov. 22. Because of a ty pographical error in the wording of the November indictment, the federal grand jury today found a new blanket indictment charging conspiracy to de fraud the goernment on alleged false weights of sugar importations against James'F.

Mr. Loeb'a characterization of his mission here was a search for rest. Replying, to inquir ies, he said that so far as the house clearing in the New York customs house was concerned, it was practically over, but intimated that the surveillance and closer watch over conditions there would be kept up.

Irrigation Committee Finds Need of Money for Work. Washington. Nov. 22. Senator Borah of Idio, who has been in the west all summer and V traveled for a time with the senate committee on irrigation during its inspection at many of the more important govern ment irrigation projects, was a White House visitor today. It is understood that the committee has decided to recommend to con gress a bond issue of from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 for the immediate completion of at least thirty-two ap proved projects the bonds to be paid from time to time out of revenues re ceived from the sale of public lands. Irrigation work is now paid for out I of these revenues,' but the income is so slow that if the projects were car ried forward only as the money comes to hand many years would elapse De fore water could be turned on the lands. HENRY HEDGES. Wichita AUen Guesses He Talked Too Much. Henry Allen, the Wichita editor, on his way home from Kansas City where he disposed of some remaining stock in his $300,000 office building and where he gave out the now famous Taft in view KA.tr! here: "I guess I have talked too blamed much on this trip." he continued. "That newspaper friend of mine in Kansas City slipped up on my blind fide. However, I am standing pat. Every moneyed man I went to to talk about our new building, spent the first hour telling me how many different kinds of a fool I was for giving 'out that interview. Just the same I don't believe Kansas was ever a Taft state. It was for Hughes and took Taft be i ause Roosevelt wanted it to." AMONGTHEOSOPHISTS.

Colonel John Jacob Astor's yacht Nourmahal sailed from here Nomh i the hurricane. The captain of an European steamer arriving here today reports that he saw the wreck of a steamer lying between the islands of' Catalina and Saona.

DesDite the fact that the wli.si station at Key West was in com munication with San Juan for an hour early this morning no word was then received definiliely establishing that the Nourmahal was or was not in the harbor. "Is the Nourmahal, Astor's yacht, there asked the operator at Key West, when after repeated calls, he raised San Juan. "I don't know; I believe she is," was the answer the wireless brought back. "I'll investigate, but it will take some time." "Then take these messages first," said Key West.

The revenue cutter service officials were much sur prised to find that the latest advices from San Juan, Porto Rico, failed to verify the report that the Astor yacht Nourmahal was seen in that harbor. The Yamacrew, which had been dispatched under hurry orders to Ja maica and thence to follow the prob able course of the -Nourmahal to Porto Rican waters, is already return ing to .Jupiter inlet under the orders she received following the report of the nresence of the yacht at San Juan. Unless the situation is speedily clari fied, the Yamacraw probably will be directed by wireless to resume the quest ci the missing yacht. May Have Meant Nothing to Him. New York, Nov. 22. Word from Tampa, Fla.,- that the wireless operator in his communications early today with the San Juan, forto Klco; wireless static- received no confirmation of the pn; ,-ce of John Jacob Astor's steam yacht Nourmahal In San Juan, is re garded by William A- Dobbyn, secre tarck of Colonel Astor, as having no significance.. The Nourmahal undoubt edly was there on November 15, and probably by this time has proceeded to some other port, said Mr. Dobbyn. "The report made by the Red D line steamship Caracas at Willemstadt that the Nourmahal was in San Juan harbor on November 15," said Mr. Dobbyn, "undoubtedly is correct. If the San Juan wireless operator made no men tion of her there today then the yacht's presence there was of no slgniflcanca to him. or the Nourmahal may have departed a few days before." Cuban Steamer Missing, r New York, Nov. 22. Cable dispatches received in New York from Havana set forth that the Cuban steamer Maria Herrera of the Herrera line is missing and may have been lost in the hurri cane a. fortnight ago. If the" Maria Herrera has been wreck ed hers may be the wreckage reported from San Domingo as lying between the islands of Catalina and Saona. The Maria Herrera sailed from San tiago, Cuba, November- 8, for Ponce, Porto Rico, and has not been heard from since. As. however, there has been no cpm jr.ui'tcation from Ponce. tb,e steamer may have arrived at that port. The Maria Herrera is engaged in iri"-ter-insular traffic. She registers 1,341 tons net. Mrs. Astor Shows Interest. Queenstown, Nov. 22. Passengers rn board the Cunard line steamer Lusi- lania, which arrived here this after noon, were Interested in the news that the captain of the Red D liner Cara cas had reported the Nourmahal at tan Juan, P. R., on November 14. Mrs. Ava Willing Astor, who re cently obtained a divorce from her husband. Colonel John Jacob Astor, xpressed great relief on learning of the report, which indicated that her son Vincent was safe. Mrs. Astor kept closely to her state i oom during the voyage. She did not mention any intention of going to the West Indies. Declares He Saw the Nourmahal. Caracas, Nov. 22. The steamer Cara cas arrived today at La Guayra and Captain Furst was again questioned re garding his statement that he had seen the Nourmahal at San Juan on Novem ber 14. He confirmed his earlier declar ation that Astor's yacht had found a port in the harbor. When the Caracas sailed Captain Furst had a view of the Nourmahal, he said, and did not notico anything to' indicate that the yacht had suffered from the storm. NOT A SOUL LOST. Passengers and Crew Kscape From a Burning Vessel. Los Angeles, Nov. 22. Famished, reWly exhausted and many wearing borrowed clothes, the 105 men, women and children passengers on the steam er St. Croix, which burned and sank Saturday night off Point Duma,' have arrived. With them came the 78 offi cers and members of the crew, likewise exhausted and destitute. All were trought here from Santa Monica by trolley, after the police department and sympathetic residents of that city had furnished food that broke a fast that for some had stretched through 36 hours. The survivors had walked, ridden and made their way to Santa Monica as. best they could from the isolated landing place. Mrs. L. A. Wallace of Berkeley re mains at the beach city In a hospital with her six months old baby. Mrs. Wallace was severely injured when a davit rope broke and the boat she was in plunged bow first into the sea. Herbert, 6-year-old son of Charles Veilbaum, of San Francisco, was saved by Edward Norris, a ship's quartermas ter, aided by Mrs.Grace Thomas, wife of a racing man of Victoria. B. C. Captain Frederick Warner came into Santa Monica among the last of the shipwrecked throng. Some had. toiled afoot, over the 14 miles of rough moun tain trails. Others, all women who had been frightened into helplessness, were brought on stretchers, carried by men.- Captain Warner described the burn ing of his ship and the rescue. When the nrst alarm was given Warner or dered full speed astern to prevent the ship's forward movement fanning the flames, which.- he said, weije bursting from the ports. Only a half hour elapsed until the ship had been deserted, several who had fallen into the water in the hasty t-cramble for the lifeboats had been picked up and the sailors had begun a four hours' pull for shore. Tho Captain's Story. Captain Warner said: "I was in my cabin .when some one ran to my door and shouted. 'Captain, the ship is afire below the second cab in.' I shouted to the first officer, Mr. Miller, in the next cabin, to take charge of the watch below and went on the bridge and order full speed astern to stop the headway, so as not to fan the flames. "An alarm was sounded. Each man of the crew promptly went to his sta tion. Mr. Miller soon had five lines of hose rigged. "The ship had come to a full stop and the passengers were placed in the boats when the first officer reported that the ammonia pipes of the refrigerating plant had burst, and" that the vapor was overwhelming his men. The Are was gaining abaft the second cabin. Apparently it started somewhere in the second cabin and the powerful draft was drawing H down through the shaft alley to the boiler room. "By this time the fire fighting force was being overcome man after man and the hose lines were abandoned. Realizing the fight was' hopeless, I or dered the men up from below and the fire room cleared. "At no time was there much con fusion. The passengers provided them selves with life preservers. Mrs. Wal lace afterward said that it was a life preserver that enabled her to keep her self and baby up after they had f allei overboard. "Boat No. 1 was the first to be filled. and I ordered it cast loose. An eye bolt on the stern post drew out and the boat upended, throwing some of the passen gers violently and slightly injuring a few. "It was then that Mrs. Wallace ttid little Vielbaum went overboard. I saw several men jump over to the rescue. I shouted to let the other davit rope go, and the boat righted itself immediately. ."In a moment those who had fallen overboard or jumped into the sea were back on board, the boat was baled and j on its way outside the line of danger.

Now Apparently Strained to the Breaking Point.: KSOX AFTER FACTS. Separation Will Be Demanded if His. Inquiries Bring Forth Circumstances That He Expects to Find. Washington, Novl 22. The next move of the game being played with President Zelaya of Nicaragua, will be made by Secretary Knox and undoubt edly it 'will be an important and pos sibly a decisive one. Zelaya has kill ed two Americans, it is believed in the most summary and brutal manner and it is not expected that he will be per mitted to settle at so much a head for those or any other Americans he may see fit to kill. It is therefore believed that something more than compensa tion for Groce'and Cannon will be In volved in the next step by the state department. Secretary Meyer returned to the navy department today from Boston and immediately took ud the situation with Assistant Secretary Wlnthrop and near -aamirai'rotter. chief of the bu reau of navigation with a view of de termining how the navy would be able to comply with any request which the state department might make upon it. In general the officials told the sec retary that the navy was readv for any emergency which might arise. The state department is awaiting additional information as to the de tails of the killing and until that in formation is cabled to the department here no important developments are looked for. The department's action in recog nizing the blockade of the port of San Juan Del Norte is in effect a recog nition of insurgency, but this action in all probability will be follow-ed by what is much more important, recog nition of belligerency. Recognition of belligerency is a matter of the highest consequence to the insurgent forces. Once their bel ligerency is recognized. Zelaya will be held to strict accountability for any -prisoners he might take, as the Unit ed States undoubtedly would see to it that they were treated in every respect as prisoners of war, according to civ ilized standards.

BACK TO LIFE. Experiences of ThoseJshnt in the St. Paul Mine During Seren Days Spent In Fight for Existence.' SOME WBOTE LETTERS Stories of Survivors Filled With Incidents of Heroism. Entombed Men Prayed andlloped to the Last. Cherry, III., Nov. 22. The men who have returned to life from the St. Paul mine can thank only themselves and the scientific knowledge of one of their number for the fact that they are alive. It was through their own heroic efforts that they were saved from suffocatior inthe" mine. From the moment they were irapped ln the blazing shaft week ago last Saturday afternoon until they were carried from the mine the men battled with death. Finding their means of reaching the cage cut off, the men who were rescued Saturday ran back of the heat of the wre ana contemplated a dash througft the flames In the hope that the cage might be sent down to them. It was Walter Waite, assistant mine superintendent, who headed this group t men. j? or several minutes theydis- cussea various plans ln the face of wnat even, in their calm discussion, they believed to be almost certain death. Finally it was agreed that, the only jiupo vi reacnung ine upper surface, which meant life, lay In outside assist. ance. Step by step the men backed away ii urn ma moK8 ana rapidly accumulat ing gases Into the dark-passages which aione orrerea a means of escape. Finally, when nearly three-quarters or a mne rrom tne cage, Waite suggest ed the plan. It simply was to throw up a temporary wall, block out the flames and the gases that generated by the iires, ana tage advantage of anv op portunity to escape that Provldene-j mignt oner. saner outlining his plan, Waite iransiy told the men the desperate position in which they were placed and asked that each obey orders if he ever desired to see his wife and babies again. "Men, we are ln God's hands down here just as much as If we were work ing the steel cage up above," solemnly said the mine boss. "If It is God's will that we be freed from this plight, we will come out alive "But, remember, we must help our selves." "I don't know whether you all are Christian men, but if you are not it's time to become such," said William Clelland. one of the three American born men in the party. "How many of you want to offer a prayer before we begin to work?" Every man of the little party drew off m uap in me aarKness and bowed his head In answer. Then with their caps ln hand, smoking lanterns casting gro tesque shadows about the dark drift, as strange a scene as ever was enacted took place. Above the crackling of the flames that gradually were eating their way toward the praying men could b the powerful voice of Clelland, as he offered up a prayer for delivery. "Oh, God, we are in your hands. Let Thy will be done," said the miner "If it is Thy will that we be delivered to our families once more, please help us now." Story of a Survivor. George Subacus, one of the res cued miners, tells the following story of his experience: "At 1 o'clock a week ago last Satur day the pit boss came to measure my work in the northwest entry on the south side of the entry. After he went I waited for the team to come for the coal, but in two hours It had not come, so I started to find out what was the matter. "Pretty soon I saw smoke and felt that the ventilation fan had stopped. The fire had been burning for an hour, but that was the first I knew cf It I started to run then but met George Eddy and some others about twenty-one ln all, and- Mr. Eddy led us way back where I had been work ing. Then we tried to throw up a barrier, but It was pitch dark, and we did not get along well. All the time we breathed bad gas. L had nothing to eat of my own, but I chewed bark and drank water. We got the water by making little holes In the bottom of the entry. We made five of these holes and there was always someone at them. It was our principal food. That's how all the coal dust got into our beards, be cause we always were trying to drink." "What did you do all these days you were penned ln?" was asked. "Why, we all said good-by to each other. I and my brother we cried much. At first the English among-us Bang songs and the Italians were all the time praying, but after a while we were all too weak to more than crawl about.

Powell, mine super- .mcuueni or jaracevuie, ill. Powell a tall, muscular, ruddy cheeked old man with iron gray hair, went on duty at 7 o'clock in the morning. His story fol lows: "We were going along what is known fls the second south entry, or gallery, end were passing a gallery shooting off from this, known as the second west, when, stopping for a moment, I heard iome pounding and what seemed to me ike a faint voice. I turend to the fellows and said: 'Listen, I thought I heard a voice then. Maybe It is some of the fellows still alive. "We listened again and what ap I eared to be the voice and the pound ing continued. At that we started at a brisk pace to where we thought the men were and found there an ob struction. Before we had the obstruc tion down we knew for certain live men were behind it, for we called and talked to them repeatedly. One of the men behind the obstruction hap pened to be an Italian who used to work for mev "He called out, 'Hello, Mr. Davie, as he always called me. 'you see we ain't dead yet.' In another minute we were all clasped in each other's arms. The men we took out from here were the first to reach the surface and were apart from those rescued later." A Priest's Description. A graphic description of the dlscov try of the men, from the viewpoint of the rescuers, was told by Father James P. Heany of St. Mary's church, Men dota, 111. Father Heany, wearing a miner's cap and flaming torch, was cown in the mine with the rescue party: He said: "Just about 2 o'clock when we were, as near as I can tell, three hundred feet into the gallery from the hoisting shaft, our party slacked uo because a pile of debris was in the way. Sudden ly David Powell said: Listen, boys; T thought I heard something "We were all silent. A faint pound ing, as if coming through the thickness cf a wall was heard. "'My God!' said Powell; .'I believe somebody is alive in there.' "Some of the other men replied- 'No that is impossible. Nobody in the world thinks for a minute the men could live down here for seven days.' Well, I said, 'let's listen again.' "We all listened for what seemed to be a full minute.

Finally, I, who had been ln the rear, came forward and with a shovel relieved one of the men who had be come tired out. "It was a weird scene. The lights of our torches on our caps kept bobbing up and down as we labored, filling the place with moving shadows. 'Now, let's stop and listen again,' said Powell. "Much- to our glee the pounding sounds came louder. A few more digs' in shovelfuls brought down the diet rrom the top and a little black hole ap- pearea peiore us. "Two or three of us climbed over the dirt and yelled: 'Are any of you alive in mere, ooysr "An answer came back, 'yes.'

Fljtht Over Water. The story of' a desperate fight waged In the depths of the mine by one faction of 21 entombed miners against another over the scant water supply was told by Ino Antonieso, one or the rescued men. According to Antonieso's account, the saving of the sick men was ac complished only after one group, headed by a brawny miner, whose name all refused to divulge, had been overpowered by the other. Bitter personalities were exchanged, blows were struck and finally knives were drawn. There were three sick men in the party Franco Zannarini, Daniel Welowcsak and Gearge Eddy. A group headed by Clelland and Waite insisted that the sick men should hae the first call on tha water supply, which was very scant that seeped into the shallow pits. At least one. other man, physically stronger than the others, tried to take the water from the sick. "Someone was pushing Walowcsak. the weakest of the party, away from the water and stealing it," said Antonieso. "He Was too weak to re sist. A secret guard was established over him and we found the mar who was stealing the water. We gave him a bad beating and he resisted, finally drawing a knife. We felled him with an. axe helve and dragged him into a corner. After that he was no trouble. During the last two days the feeling of rebellion died out and we all be came friends again." Wrote Funeral Directions. The two Pigati brothers, Joe and Savatore, .wrote several short notes, all of the same tenor, save that 1n one a desire was expressed that their fun eral be embellished with a brass band. One of the most touching was written by John Lorimer to his wife. Lorimer is a young Scotchman. He Is an ex perienced miner,, and, like, his wife, a constant attendan t -ehurch. "He just laughsand says he will go back to the mine when he is well, al though I'd be willing, after what has happened, to support him myself if he would only get safer work,'' said Mrs. Lorimer. "Heavens knows, he's been a good man these three years we've beenj married." As was the case at the house of each j of the score of men rescued alive, Lori-I mer received in his bedroom manv call ers, relatives and others who wished to congratulate him on his escape. Lorl- mer's letter, written in the face of death, as were the others, follows: Lorimer's Letter. "Dear Wife: I am still living, al though it is now 5 o'clock Sunday morning and there is little hope, as the black damp is getting the best of us. There are twenty-one of us alto gether here. Dear wife, do not grieve, we will meet again. God bless you; be lieve in Him. He will take care of vou. I guess we wQl meet in a better land. When you get over this let them know at home (Scotland). That is .ll, dear. uoq bless you. "Your loving husband." One of the Pisratl letters, sie-npri hv the two brothers, concludes with this wish: we desire a band at our funeral and we wish to be burled side by side." Other portions of the letter refer to our "miserable tnmh whprp fivi rvf ua Btill live, although without knowing whether we shall ever emerge alive." All the farewell letters written were on paper torn from the time book carried by wajier waite. wane naa the only lead pencil in the group, and it was passed from hand to hand In order that all might write. One instance of the self-sacrifice of the more sturdy prisoners was related by Lorimer. ."Walczinski I think that was his name was sixty years old and the weakest among us, said iorlmer. "our greatest suffering came from thirst, for only thim blefuls of water could be got from the seepage. Walczinski grew so exhausted that he could not stoop over, but had to lie- on his face to drink.

By defeating the Iowans by a score of 20 to 7 the Kan san's visions of another ever-victorious team of gridiron heroes were given a rosier tint. The Kansas eleven played, a snappy class of football which the team has not before displayed this year. Only old style plays were used but the line charges were fast and furious and of a nature that the line of the Iowans could not withstand. The contrast between the teams when it came to speed in getting off was marked, the Kansas back field, which during the first of the season gained the reputation of be Ing sluggish, exhibiting swiftness that was a decided surprise to the wildly shouting throng of 4.000 rooters. Although the score was one-sided the game by no means lacked the elements that go to make a contest exciting Surprises were being enacted from start to finish. Notwithstanding the fact that the Jayhawkers during a con siderable portion of the contest romp ed apparently at ease through and around their opponents, fairly outclass- ir-g them, some ot the prettiest plays of the game were made by the latter and at times the Iowans showed bril liant form. The Hawkoyes played more open game than did the heavier pupils of Coach Kennedy and four times dad they successfully worn tne iorwara pais, but their attempts at take piays were not successful. The flashy work of Quarterback Pete Heil of Topeka was one of the features of the game, for he was al ways good for a gain of from 15 to 30 yards in the recovering of punts. In the kicking department Hyland out classed the little Kansas quarterback. Through penalties Kansas lost 90 yards while Iowa's record was but a little more than a fourth as great. Trio Did Brilliant Work. For K. U. Pleasant. Dahlene and Magill were a rapid trio and got into almost every play. Capt. Pleasant was a star of the game, and the speed of McGlll, a recent find was a surprise, The team work of the squad was a feature which added much to the strength of the team at times plays moving like clock work. It was the Iowan's right end, Hy land who was the star from the Hawk- eye state. He distinguished himself through his consistent long gains, ana excellent punting and tackling. The negro tackle played good defensive ball, as did Quarterback Stewart, who prevented Kansas from scoring on a number of occasions. Captain Gross who held down the right tackle po sitions with one arm strapped to his side during a portion of the first half was decidedly out of condition. At 2:39 Iowa kicked off to Dahlene who returned the ball to the Kansas 50 yard line. From the very start the superiority of the Lawrence team was evident. Lovett and Dahlene each car ried the ball for eight yards and dur ing the first five minutes were the cen tral figures in the playing. Heil, the little quarterback who took "Tommy" Johnson's place ran the team in great shape and it was splendid offensive work that the squad was putting up. The ball was taken to the Iowa 20 yard line by line bucks and short runs. Iowa then got possession, of the pigskin but found the opposing line to be as solid as a stone wall and was compelled to punt. The Kansans re covering, by steady line plunges worked the oval to the Iowan's 6 yard line and then 1 made the neces sary gains for a touchdown, Dahlene turning the trick. Goal Is Missed. The kick out for a try at goal was missed making the score 5 to 0. The next interesting feature of the game was Iowa's safety. It was caused by Lovett's fumbling the ball In attempt ing to punt- and an Iowa pinning him to the ground after he had re covered. The second Kansas touch down was due to a fumble. Hyland was on the point of making a forward pass when he was tackled and in the act of being thrown to" earth he drop ped the pigskin .which was quickly scooped up by Dahlehe. Pleasant was successful in kicking goal and the score stood 11 t 2 with Kansas in possession of the (large end. The third and last touchdown for the Jawhawkers was made by Pleasant after a series of line bucks. With an other goal to the credit of the -Kan- DEEP SEATED COUGH CURED IN FIVE HOURS NaV Home-Made Syrup fCut this out) From Boston Press.

In spite of the defea which the Iowans sustained at the hands of the Lawrence squad they can boast of the fact that they are the only aggregation that has been able to cross the goal line of the Kansans this season. The, team took a decided brace ln the sec ond half and-a number of times made their downs, eventually annexing a touchdown. The first scoring done in this half was done by K. U. when Pleasant booted a field goal from placement. Subsequently' the Hawk eyes took 'on an air of grim deter mination and through a strenuous ef fort made their first down three suc cessive times. Ehret then "got go ing" for 20 yards running out of bounds on the Kansas one yard line. The ball was taken out, and on the next play Hazard, who went in for Murphy, carried the oval the neces sary distance, Heil failing in an at tempt to tackle. Iowa failed to kick goal and the score stood 20 to 7. Johnson Replaces Heil. At this juncture Johnson displaced Heil and did some brilliant work dur ing the few minutes which remained to play.

Playing wniriwma football in every depart ment K. S. A. C. swamped the Fair- mount team Saturday afternoon, win ning by a score of 71 to 0. Fair- mount's offense was weak and its de fense- absolutely ineffectual while Manhattan gained ground almost at will and allowed the local team to make the first down but, once. xne nrsi loucnaown came aner four minutes of play. Seven touch downs and four goals were scored in the, first half and five more with four goals and a drop kick by Bates added the 31 points in the second session. O'Hara, who went in at half for Fair mount, seemed to strengthen the de fense materially In the latter part of the game. Manhattan used open style of football for most of the long gains, though the backs and tackles bucked repeatedly for good gains. Fairmount could do nothing with the forward pass and was also outplayed in the old-style game. Cap tain Gingery of Manhattan scored three touchdowns. Spear four, Croyle two, and Bates, Roots and Parks, one each. Bates's drop kick came from an easy chance from the 20-yard line. HERINGTON GETS ANOTHER. Takes Marion Into Fold by Score of 10 to 0.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL- MONDAY EVENING NOVEMBEK 22, 1909. RAILROAD Santa Fe Preparing For Double Tracking of System. Four More Kansas Towns to Be Doubly Connected. CAN'T MAKE THE TIME. Single Track Not Able to Take Care of Business. Other Items of General Interest in Railroad Circles. Hutchinson. Kan,, Nov. 22 It is tha talk along the Santa Fe that a double track is to be laid on the "main line from Hutchinson to Mission station within the coming: year. This is part of the plan which means the double tracking .of the entire system, from tha lakes to the -coast. Another short piece of double track now talked about, is from Partridge to Plevna, to take care of extra business which comes from meeting trains on that part of the road. The two limiteds, Nos. 3 and 4, meet at Abbyville ard there are some freights carded to meet there at the same time and during the time that the branch passenger trail "Jerky," is on the way back from Kinsley. So it is one of the places picked out for a double track. It is believed that a double track there would hurry the movement of the lim ited trains, and that is the thing wanted. President Ripley announced two weeks ago, when he was in Hutchinson, that it would be but a little while until a double track would be built from Mission to Hutchinson. Mission is a small station about ten miles west of Newton and the end of the double track. On this double track several trains meet during the day and it saves a erood bit of time. Nos. 4 and 5 meet at Paxton. this sido of the double track, and this always means putting one train to a good bit of trouble to make up tne time mat i should make if these stops were not necessary. So the double track be tween Hutchinson and Newton, all the wav. would be of distinct advantage in the movement of trains. A Santa Fe man said the other day that, even when the Belen line was solid enough and strong enough to permit the rapiO operation of trains there wouldn't be anv chance made In the present trains now operated over the main lines, fc there will always be Business ror tnis many here. This is one reason why arrangements are now being made lo double track the entire road, from Mis sIon west. It will take several years to do this, but the work will be done grad ually, year after year, until it is a per fect system of railroad trackage. ROCK ISLAND HELPS EMPLOYES. Iuniber From Scrappy Cars Turned Over to Working Men. Herington, Kan., Nov. 22. Several years ago the Rock Island officials at this point permitted everybody to help themselves to the lumber from scrapped cars. Later the rule waa made that only employes of the com pany could get the lumber. Then there came so much conten tion and fussing over the spoils that the company ordered everybody to keep off and have been burning the cars for several years, which locks like an outrage in these days of high priced fuel. On a recent date this order was revoked and now employes of the company are again permitted to divide up on the car lumber, pro vided it is kept for their own use and not sold. If they can get along with out fussing over the matter it is like ly the new order will stand. EMPLOYES ARE BLAMED. Claimed EHjrhty Per Cent of Accidents Due to Their Negligence. New York, Nov. 22. Negligence of railroad employes is responsible for SO per cent of railroad accidents, ac cording to W. L. Park, of Omaha, General Superintendent of the Union Pacific, who spoke before the annual meeting of the New York and New England Association of Railroad Sur geons here. "If we would prevent accidents on our railroads," continued Mr. Park, "we must weed out the irrcsponsibles, shiftless and incapacitated employes. There must be a firm discipline. The unworthy workman must go, and the labor organizations must be impress ed with the idea that their mission is not to manage the railroad, but to man them." BATH TLBS IX BUNK CARS. Japanese Railroad Laborers Spring Innovation on Santa Fe Co. Arkansas City, Kan.. Nov. 22. Two bunk cars are being prepared for the six Japanese laborers who are coming here soon to work for the Santa Fe. The cars are being fixed up nicely and will contain a bath tub. The Japs are very particular about this and they demand the in stallation of a bath tub in all their bunk cars. NO MORE SBXF-.VrDITIXG. Rock Island WU1 Leave It to Inter state Commission. Chicago, 111., Nov. 22. One of the interesting results of the rigid super vision ofi the Interstate Commerce commission over the affairs of the railroads is the discontinuance op the part of several roads of the practice There no way to euro Catarrh except to purify the blood, and thus do away with tho cause. Tho symptoms may bo benefited by the uso of washes. Inhalations, sprays, medicated tobaccos, etc., and through the uso cf such treatment catarrh Sufferers, receive temporary relief and comfort. External and local measures however cannot have any effect on the blood, and therefore their uso alone Is of no real curativo value. Catarrh i3 a deep-seated blood disoaso, and come3 as the result of catarrhal matter and other impurities in the circulation.1 These morbid matters in the blood cause an inflammatory and irritated condition, of the mucous membrane or tissue lining of the cavities of the body, producing an unhealthy secretion, ringing noisos in tho ears, stuffy feeling in the head and nose, headaches, hoarseness, bronchial aff actions, watery eyes, etc. S. S. S. is. the best treat ment for Catarrh bocauso it is the ereatest of all hlnod rairifiers. Thi-. medicine removes every particle of the catarrhal impurity from the circula- tion, making this vital fluid puro, fresh and healthy. Then the inflamed membranes begin to heal, because they are nourished with pure, health- giving blood, every symptom disappears, and soon S. S. S. produces a perfect cure. S. 6. S. doe3 not contain any habit-forming drugs, which really never can cure Catarrh, but often ruin the health. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GAJ of having annual audits made" by In dependent auditors. The Rock Island and Frisco systems are among those who have discontinued this; custom, the reason being that the directors have come- to regard this independent audit as a useless expense, in view of the close scrutiny which the com mission now exercises over the ac counts. tTTLk CREW BILL OPPOSED. Railroad Managers Also Contend That Locomotive Inspectors Are Useless. Chicago, 111., Nov. 22. The Exe cutive committee of the American Railway association is preparing to oppose the passage of the full-crew bill and the bill creating a bureau for the inspection of railroad locomotives, Both bills are pending before con gress, and it is stated that the full; crew bill, as it is called, would en tail a useless expenditure of approx imately $20,000,000 a year. The executive committee has de cided to gather all the necessary data relative to the subject for presenta tion to the proper committee when the bill comes up for consideration. It is understood that the measure will have the support of the railway trainmen's order, unless the railroad managements succeed in convincing them that to needlessly add such a vast sum to the cost of operating American railroads would make it more difficult for the labor organiza tions to procure increased wage schedules. WIXCHELIi DENIES RlTMOR. President of Rock' Island Says He Has No Intention of Resigning. Chicago, Nov. 22.

Stranger Lost Mind Worrying Over Wife's Death. Sheri CF Ericsson Busy Recovering Valuables From Finders. McFarland, Kan.. Nov. 22. An insane man ai large for 12 hours in the bills south of McFarland,- then returning of Ms own accord minus $700 worth "of jewelry and the" subsequent recovery of the jewelry has been keeping Sher iff Ericsson busy the past two weeks. L Two weeks ego last Saturday an in sane man by the name of Atkinson who was a passenger on Rock Island train No.. 27, eluded his son' with whom he was traveling, at McFarland, and maoe his escape into the hills south of that town. The son. failing to get ny trace of his father, telephoned Sheriff Ericsson of this city, who at once wenti to McFarland and started a syE.tema.tic search. Officers all over the county were notified, and telephone messages were sent out in all direc lions. Death of Wife Causes Loss of Mind Young Atkinson told the story that his father lost his mind over the death of his wife last spring, and that in hopes of benefiting his reason they have been traveling ever since. They had been in Europe this fall, and were then on their v. ay home to Colorado prings. Mr. Atkinson is a well to do man, being rated by Bradstreet at Jl'Ju, 000. and is a 32d degree Mason. About 3 o'clock Sunday morning, 12 1-fours after his escape, the demented man wandered back to McFarland in a semi-rational condition. He was ta ken in charge by his- son, and said he l:ad spent the time wandering in the hilte. After the snerift had returned to Alma, young Atkinson discovered that his father's jewelry, consisting of a diamond studded watch and chain ind charm, a diamond stick pin and a diamond set Masonic ring, and his pocketbook containing some money and a number of foreign -gold coins, were missing. Buried Jewelry In Hills. Atkinson said he had buried them at different daces in the hills, and drew a diagram showing the location of -rnese places. His condition began to grow worse, and they took tne next train ior Colorado bpnngs The next day young Atkinson re turned, and turned the matter of the missing valuabes over to Sheriff Erics son. With the diagram as a guide the sheriff visited the places, but someone who evidently had overheard the con versation between the father and son. bad removed nearly all the property. One or two pieces which were buried ir. a different- place were recovered- by the sheriff. The sheriff then got busy after the stuff that was removed and has pulled off an -uncommonly good piece of de tective work. He has not divulged the nature nor the origin of the clues on which he worked, but made a trip to Iowa and recovered the watch, the diamoad pin and ring, and is confident, that he will have the other articles within a lav or two.

TRY SHEEP WHERE GRAIN FAILS Southern Kansas Farmers Are Going Into Stock Raising. Wellington. Kan.; Nov. 22.

Three cars of New Mexican sheep have been received here and delivered to farmers in the county who had bought them. During the present fall G. R.

Arranged to Stock' Arkansas River as a Running Stream. Syracuse, Kan., Nov. 22. Repre sentative Paul Rich was notified that the Kansas state fish car No. 1 would arrive here and leave a certain num ber of fish to be deposited in running streams in the county. After careful consideration he decided that it was inadvisable to deposit these fish in the Arkansas river, as it is almost dry at times. Mr. Greer, who owns a large lake east of Syracuse, that is fed by springs, offered to meet the train and take the fish and deposit them there. The proposition was accepted. The car was to leave consignments of fish in every county, but some of the counties failed to have any person tc meet the train, so this county by being the last one in the state received all that was left, thereby getting sev eral times its share. The car was in charge of Victor Hodgin, acting state game and fish warden for the state. NEW HOSPITAL FOR ATWOOD. Building WUI Contain Thirty Rooms and Be Thoroughly Modern. At wood, Kan., Nov. 22.

The' State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The newa is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur. pose. The goods with which .the sugar trust has been caught are not very weet, either. Something is always doing in the thletle world. Now that the football season is drawing to a close the basketball teams are getting ready for their campaigns'. Andrew Carnegie i.s apparently cer tain in his own mind of his future. He floes not propose to fly until he be comes an angel. But maybe he'll have r.n awf'.'I lonsr wait. Another instance that there i noth ing to that theory propounded by Dr. Osier is found in the announcement thatBob Fitzsimmons is going to try his luck again at prize fighting A wife's affections are evidently not held to be of exceeding great value by the jurors of Shawnee county. Twelve of them recently awarded a man only 9300 for the loss of those of his one time better half. All the turkeys that escaped at tacks of appendicitis to which scientists now claim thev ara most susceptible victims are about to be carved up anyhow. Japan is said to lead the United States in the matter of municipal ownership of public utilities. This is likewise true of chrysanthemums which are also beautiful flowers to contemplate but mighty difficult to raise and take care of. Real frelsht car famines are now reported to be in existence in various sections of the country. This is an noying to shippers, to be sure, but then it is an indisputable bit of evi dence that a real prosperity has ar rived with all its welcome force. "A $26 a day license fee on "tran sient merchants" which the city coun cil has decided to impose is none too high. The regular merchants of the town are entitled to adequate pro tection from unfair competition, and especially at seasons of the year when the retail trade is brisk. France is having budget troubles as well as England and Germany. But there is nothing strange in this. Na tions are a good deal like individuals and there are few of the latter who do not have all kinds of trouble in get ting the requisite money to make the mare go. Wednesday is the day set for the waging of. a campaign for an in creased membership for the Commer cial club. It can be made a great suc cess if all the men In town, who ought to take part in the deliberations of this organization, do their ful' duty to their city, by Joining this band of hustlers. In the current issue of the Com moner William J. Bryan takes a strong position in opposition to the saloon and the liquor dealer and. de clares the term "personal liberty" to h a misnomer. It isn't so many years ago that this doctrine would have been characterized as Demo cratic heresy of the rankest sort. Speaking of the possibility of a gi gantic strike on the part of all the organized labor in the United States a a protest against the jailing of Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, the Washington Post points out that it would do "most harm to those twins of misery, the innocent bystander and the ultimate consumer." Our old friend Chancellor James R. Day, of Syracuse university, address ing a gathering of Methodists re cently, urged that everybody acquire great wealth and scholarship. Need less to say, everybody Is quite willing and hopes that Brother Day will point out the way to these ends. But he'll probably do no more than just say "acquire them." The mayor of Waukegan. 111., who became so incensed at the refusal of the voters of the town to act favor ably on a proposed bond issue that he has attempted to get satisfaction by ordering the street lights turned out at night and to Inflict other more or legs petty hardships on the people of his city, Is out of his proper sphere. He ought to be attending a' kinder garten Where little boys and girls pout and refuse to play any more if things do not work out to suit them. it W Announced that the proposed merger of the bigr copper companies of v. mnntrr is to have a capitalization approximating one billion, dollars. Only the other day came the news of a mer ger of telegraph and telephone compan- ies In New York which la to have a capitalization of one billion dollars. Where are all these billions of dollars coming from? There are really not so very many of them in the whole world. Perhaps (the answer .is found in the probable fact that the real capital in vested in these mergers will be far from their paper capitalizations of a billion dollars .each. But the consumers of the land will have to pay tolls and charges in all likelihood which will permit of the declaration of dividends on the billion dollars capitalizations even if a good deal of them Is nothing more than "water." PRESIDENT TAFT. Collier's, in its Issue of Saturday, takes occasion to deny emphatically that its severe criticism of Mr. Bal linger, secretary of the interior In the Taft cabinet, and its alleged expose of a gigantic scandal in connection wit'a the handling of public lands, is in any way a part of a conspiracy which has been formed at this early date to pre vent the. re-nomination of President Taft and the substitution for him of Theodore Roosevelt as the next Repub lican presidential nominee. This has been charged by the New Tork Tribune and in other quarters. But Collier's de clares that it knows of no such con spiracy and has no intention of par ticipating in one if It is In existence. It Insists that it is not the "spokesman of any faction" and its brilliantly in dependent career In times past ought to be a sufficient guarantee of its hon esty in making such a statement. To make its denial on this point as strong as possible. Collier's uses a whole page, besides a lengthy editorial on the subject, to reprint its expressed opinions of the past including those .of most recent dates of President Taft and also of Colonel Roosevelt. A glance at them Is sufficient to show that Col lier's has ever held Mr. Taft and his abilities in the highest regard, while o-i the contrary its criticisms of Mr. Roosevelt as a man and as a president have been unusually caustic on many occasions. Under" these circumstances It is readily to be conjectured where Collier's would stand in a choice be tween Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt. But Collier's continues, to insist that Mr. Taft's administration will be mar red and handicapped if he continues -to surround himself with a few of the ad Visors who now have nis ear, Mr. Bal linger included. This is a matter for personal opinion and because Collier's expresses one on the subject it does not necessarily mean that it is a correct one, although that paper' has made a pretty strong case against Ballinger which has not as yet been adequately explained away. "Mr. Taft's character is so high," say Collier's, "his aim so pure, his intellect so clear and trained, that nothing can prevent approval from the people in the long run except two amiable human traits: blind confidence in those about him, and dislike of con troversy." As a 'matter of fact, though, Mr. Taft has not been long enough In the presidential chair to demonstrate conclusively that these two excellent traits of character are going to spoil his administration. Large bodies move slowly and it may be possible tat it will take Mr. Taft a little time to find perfidy in some of those about him, if any exists, but the character of the president is such that it is certain a heavy hand will be laid on this perfidy when it is found. Now it would be a good plan, wouldn't it, for everyone Jo wait until Mr. Taft's administration is half or two-thirds completed before pronouncing.it a fail ure and before instigating conspiracies and plots, or talk of them, to deny him a second term and put Mr. Roosevelt in his place?' The chances are that when Mr. Roosevelt gets back from Africa, if any expression of opinion on the sub ject can be obtained from him, he will continue to stand just as strongly for Mr. Taft as he did in the days when his nomination for the presidency was being brought about. If this Is the case npany of the present "conspira tors" against Mr. Taft will find the limb, on which they have crawled, cut from the tree and down they will come with a dull and sickening thud. "Our wish happens to be," says Col lier's, "that Mr. Taft's administration shall be so righteous, so efficient, si wise that his name alone will he pre sented to the convention of 1912." Mr. Taft's friends and everybody else who is disposed to give him a fair show, be lieve that such a wish will be gratified. CORN KING OF THE WORLD". Near Whiteland, in Johnson county, Indiana, lives a farmer. His farm consists of 130 acres, and he gets up at five o'clock every morning, and has holes in his overalls. His name is Leonard B. Clore. He is the Coin King of the World. A dozen years ago Mr. Clore began to specialize in corn. Today he sets the world's pace in this cereal, says an article in Hampton's Magazine for December. The Clore family very nearly keeps house with father's corn 'prizes. In the list is everything from a manure spreader to a piano, including watchi clock, stove, mandolin, lawn swing, an automobile, a quarter section of land in Texas, and a $1,000 cash prize. One of the incidentals is a silver lov ing cup valued at $1,000. Mr. Clore decided a few years ago that instead of spending so much time in improving their land the corn grow ers should give more thought to Im proving their breed of corn. All his efforts have been in that direction. In a specially built barn he germinates the corn in boxes of earth kept at the right temperature in early spring by gasoline stoves. Thus he knows before planting w-hat percentage of the grains will germinate. Two ears of corn may look alike, but the vital ity of one may be much higher than that of the other. Mr. Clore is also a judge of what it takes to make a perfect ear: selecting the best ears each fall and planting the hardiest grains in the spring, he has in a great way eliminated chance in corn growing. He raises from eighty to a hundred bushels of corn per acre. The average this year is ninety bushels. This is about twenty bushels more than before he began his experiments. but, in addition, the quality of his corn has greatly improved. What he has done for Indiana, where his meth- ods are followed, may be seen by the fact that the average yield for the past ten years is thirty-five bUBhels, while over the corn belt of the Unit ed States for the same period it Is only twenty-five. Experiment stations all over the United States are sending to him for his high-bred seed corn. and are using his methods of breeding and planting. The czar has offered him a position in the Russian de partment of agriculture. JOURNAL ENTRIES Altogether too many people want to start In at the -top. Self -reliance is a virtue that more persons should cultivate. Many folks, men especially, never even get to spend their own money just as they would like. i Between most theories and the pos sibilities of their practical application are deep and wide gulfs. If more individuals eot just ex actly what they deserved, tnere wouldn't be so much happiness in the world. JAYHAWKER JOTS "If you want to make a wish that will come true some day" remarks the Howard Courant in one of its mourn ful moments, "wish you-were dead." It occurs to the Macksville Enter prise that no man Is ever so poor that he cannot afford tobacco. It might also have added that no woman is so poor these days that she can not afford a few puffs. This will be about alt from the Em poria Gazette or it will be sentenced to six months on the rock pile. The Gazette Insists that 12,000 instead of 25,000 chickens were destroyed in a recent fire at Hutchinson and that they were burned because of a "de fective flew." The Atchison Globe had a special dispatch from Frankfort the other day telling of the flood conditions In that town which prevailed for a day or so as a result of the heavy rams and the swollen streams. It follows: It was a risk of life to cross any of Frankfort's streets on Monday after noon last, and many business men closed their stores and went on top their roofs to pray, and await the end. But not so the women! Mrs. A. L. Bussywog, a society leader in Frankfort, had issued invitations for a bridge whist party, and .the wo men determined to be there, if they lost their lives in the attempt. They were seen emerging from their doors at 2 p. m., and, while some called for boats, and waited for the boatman, others, not daring to wait till after the cards had been dealt, plunged into the roaring stream and swam to the home of their hostess. Some wore their party gowns in the water, and others wore old clothes, and carried their party duds, like a negro woman's wash, in a bundle on top their heads. The old saying that travel affords ad vantages was borne out when Miss Le nora Miles appeared on her front porch with a bathing suit she wore when at the coast last summer. Since her return to Frankfort she had been denied all opportunity of showing it to her friends, and had planned to give an exhibition in her bathtub that her friends might see It. Therefore, she welcomed the flood of Monday, and made a pretty picture in a blue flannel pajama suit that began at her shoulders and quit above her knees, and, when she swam off, her bare arms cutting the water, and her other limbs keeping up aa best they could, the men on the streets gave a cheer. It was a great sight for Frankfort citizens, many of whom had never seen a bathing suit in ac tion before. Three women were drowned in an attempt to reach the home of their hostess, but the effort they made to get there will, be marked to their credit Up Yonder. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.l Some mighty worthless dogs have ex pensive collars. Half of the little education people have, Is usually wrong. We like a certain man. except that he is too genial. Geniality is easily overdone. Girls often say to fathers: "You are not half proud enough of your daugh ter." No one can lay claim to .being gen uinely old-fashioned whu doesn't use hair oiL When some people say of others: "He's a lucky dog!" that Is their way of complaing. The kind of luck they have is suffi cient to keep n.ost hunters from be coming Games Hogs. When a woman goes so far as to ttll you she has a secret, it is a sign &H?e wants to tell it. We haven't much use for men; but we believe that occasionally there is a man worthy to live with a good wife. We have observed that tlite man who shouts .loudest for Fair Flay, wants something more than that for himself. Complete justice will not have been done until sugar and spice get most of the crjdit which now goes to the pumpkin. Enlarged pictures is not a habit but a disease, just the same as itch, mumps snd measles. It always "takes" worse where the families are very poor. If a man has money, it is usually a sign, too, that he knows how to take care of it: don t imagine that his mon ey is easy to get simply because he has it. A certain Atchison bachelor was mar ried two months ago. Recently, in our iresence. another bachelor pproached liim, and said: "mil. ten me your ex Berience with matrimony. Is it a suc cess?" Then we went on. but when we returned, an hour later, they were still talkine. What conclusion did they come to? Did the married man advise the bachelor to run. or get into the game? REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press-J Being good makes the average man wish it was somebody else. There's a kind of man that feels the Philippine problem is his wife's fault. The devi can get so many people to do his work for him he hardly hasto lift a hand himself. A man pay3 to go to a public 'dinner so he can make his wife believe he was a guest of honor."' The wav a eirl likes to have a man kiss her is when nobody is looking, eo she can truthfully say ne aittn t.

Sense and nonsense are most enjoyed in para graph, and the people clamor foi pub lic speeches built on vital, meaty par agraphs. The idea is such a favorite now that ministers' .who want to please, instruct and, incidentally, to save, are sermonizing" in paragraphs of slight duration. Public speakers try to make a hit writhin the ten min ute limit, and heroes in plays make love epigrammatlcally. If life is an epigram, as some wise man would have us believe, the talk of life can not be made short enough. In America, where we never have time, it is as well to be amused, en tertained,.: instructed, sermonized and saved within a ten minute space. Otherwise we would miss these es sentials, and what would become of us In dear old England a few venture some spirits have a mind to wake the public to that fact.. In fact, it has gone so far as to stir that most slow of all slowly-moving bodies, the house of parliament. Cecil Harmsworth, one of its honorable members, and cn the cut of W. Randolph Hearst, with slight variations, comes out in a long article in the current number of the National Review, with a plea for ten-minute speeches. The Amer ican public can sympatnize witn him. We know how many good things can be killed in public legislation by oratory covering valuable hours. Florida Times-Union. DRESS AND THE MOTOR CAR. English tailors complain that the motor car has made men careless in their dress. We had fancied that mo toring had greatly increased the reve nues of the tailors, as the pastime de mands special clothes. But it seems that the Influence of motoring has inclined men toward comfort in dress rather than style. Therefore the tail oring trade is depressed. This is a new and grave charge against the au tomobile. Already it had been accused of Injuring the theatrical business, de creasing the sales of books, and de priving summer hotels of their profits; Wherefore, the motor car must oe a destructive engine in many was. We are bound to accept expert testi mony until equally good testimony is offered to disprove it. ir it couia ne proved that the theatrical business in New York and London is not quite so Drofitable as it used to be because of overcompetition and an excess of ooor Dlays: if 'someone could show that manv books are not bought be cause too many are published and thev are not all readable; it we could show that the summer resort busi ness had suffered because of the ex travagant prices charged, we might be in a position partly to exonerate the motor car. New York Times.. VOTING AND BUYING VOTES. At thn election last week Maryland voted on an amendment to disfran chise the negro. It failed, as it ought to have done. Taking away from a race the right to vote, which was once given them, is a difficult, if not an impossible task; We hear sometimes of people ex nressine themselves in favor of dis franchising the negro, and they point to the alleged practice ot Duymg up the negro vote as their reason. We do not think this practice is so uni- wran ne tn ttiatlfv Such a COUrSC There are, doubtless, negroes who self their votes, and white people, 100, no doubt, but they are a low class, and are very few compared with the body of decent and intelligent voters. But here is something we can not understand why a negro who sells his vote should be disfranchised and the man who buys it should De permitted to vote. If the matter was analyzed. the man who buys a vote is a worse citizen than a man who sells his vote. Wherever a. lowdown nezro -or white man sells his vote there is always some alleged respectable and intelli gent man who does the buying or fur- ishes the money. Ohio State Journal. EVENING.

The fortnight's route service rations and under service con- muons pertormed by twenty men of the Loyal North Lancashire at the suggestion of the army med ical advisory board, came to an end yesterday morning, when the men marched to Tidworth barracks from Perham Down, on Salisbury Plain, and were weighed, inspected and dis missed. During the fortnizht the column marched between 160 and 170 miles on bare service rations, which consist of the follonwing daily allowance for each officer and man: 14 pounds of fresh meat. or 1 pound of preserved meat. IVi sounds of bread, or 1 noimfl of biscuit or flour. ounce tea. pound' jam. 2 ounces sugar, ounce salt. 1.38 ounces pepper. pound fresh or i pound ore- served vegetables. The men rose and breakfasted at 6:30, marched from 9:30 to 4:30. and went to bed at 9 o'clock. Drinking was only- allowed at meal times. No restrictions were placed on the amount of liquid consumed, but no alcohol was allowed. The men provided their own tobac co, but cigarette smoking was not per mitted on the march, and not more than three cigarettes were allowed to be smoked ln camp. The men arrived ln Tidworth bar racks at 11:45 yesterday morning and were weighed and medically Inspected by the medical officers, in the presence of Dr. J. S. Haldane, brother of the war minister, and Dr. Pembrey. both members of the advisory board. The men were in excellent condi tion, hard and wiry, with faces tanned by wind and ram. The physiological results of the march are approximately as follows: Average loss ln weight, pounds. Average loss in chest measurement, 1 inch. This is the first time that a test has been held in which men have marched for any length of time on bare service rations without being allowed to sup plement them in any way. No one fell out, with the exception of one man, who feeling sick after eating some nightshade berries, was carried in the ambulance wagon for the last half of one day's march. There were a few sore heels owing to wet boots The rain was so persistent that everyone's clothes were wet through practically all the tim- No one, however, caught a cold. 1 The men themselves are very cheer ful after their strenuous fortnight. "I have lost three inches in cnest mnsiirement. but I feel as fit as pos sible," said oner of them, a tall fresh- faced youth. Another who is a long-distance runner admitted that he was in bet ter training than ne was usuaiiy mien, he entered for races. "I suppose it is through going alto gether without beer," he said. "The march was not a picnic by any means. For the first few days it was hard, and we felt very hungry, but after that we got used to it. When we got dbck io ommtus day. our first meal was dinner at iz:o meat pie, potatoes, peas, bread, with coffee but 1 leu mosi oi mine. You don't get your appetite back at first. It was all foot slogging, but we kept lively with singing on tne march." An English Exchange. A New Negro Empire Plan? That Theodore Roosevelt, while -ap parently in Africa on a hunting ex pedition, killing tigers and fleas, is in reality careiuuy iiivcoli5iiis whui tions to ascertain if it be not possible and practicable to establish in the Sudan country a second empire of LI- beria, and thereby solve lorever me negro question of America, is the dis closure made by a United States fed eral attorney in charge of a southern cistrict, who relates the supposed tecret plans of Roosevelt in all their details. The plan as revealed by the former persident's confidant Is to stake out a good section of the country in the Sudan, north or uongo jTee tate imd west of German and British East Africa; hoist the stars and stripes at the four corners, have Uncle Sam de clare a protectorate, organize the na tive tribes into a suzerainty of the United States of America, and then will come the expatriation of the ne groes from this country to the new em pire in the heart of Africa. In the tounding out of the plan a wedge will be formed by a nation under the con trol of the United States that will pre vent the expansion, territorially or commercially, .-of Germany and will niake the United States a factor in the balance of power among the nations of Europe now struggling to retain and enlarge their footholds In Africa.

This Item, coupled with the very heavy entertaining allowance, will make Sir Edward Seymour's cere monial trip a costly little business. A fully trained bluejacket costs the state, on an average, about 120. The action, of the United States authori ties in refusing to deliver up deserters from foreign warships ln their ports may be "constitutional," but it is as suredly not calculated to encourage friendly visits. The moral Is when next we send a- friendly expedition across the Atlantic, to rake together that element which can be best spared from our navy, and not to stint shore leave. London Truth. Carp as a Food Fish. -When Seth Green stocked waters in this state with German carp to add to the food supply he didn't count on the delicate taste of Americana. They wouldn't eat the coarse fish, and treat ed the carp with contempt. Now it seems a use has been found for the carp. Some food experts, noting the low prices at which smoked salmon was offered in Chicago, and investi gating, found that it was carp treat ed with pink paint and liquid smoke. Of course, that fraud will be stopped, but if it was palatable, honest smoked carp, sold .under its true name, u ought to be a good contribution to the country's food supply. Evidently it only needs smoking to make it good. Watertown Times. THE EVENING STORY j In Love or War. (By Richard Barker Shelton.) Felicia was plainly annoyed She bit her lip and sighed wearily that particular sort of a sigh that sent Remlck's heart, downward with all the ""feness of a sounding lead. Bobby, why will you?" she said in tones of utter despair. Remlck squared his big shoulders In determination. "You should knew very well why," he declared flatly. "I V.YesVoh y68' oE course," said Felicia hastily. "Please don't go over all that again. But let me say once :2r i1, ,Bobby. finally and Irrevocably, that It Is utterly impossible." Remick's mouth set obstinately. There was a look upon his face at that moment that said plainly it was abso lutely and irrevocably nothing of the sort. "And," Felicia went on, "it must cease. You must stop all this silly nonsense if you care to see me at all." "I care very much indeed, Felicia." he replied, "but the truth of the mat ter is that seeing you is not enough. Therefore, permit me to say with -a decision which will compare very fa vorably with your own in intensity, that I shall be very persistent, that upon every occasion that offers an op portunity I shall repeat what I have Just said." Felicia's beautiful eyes shot out warning sparks. An angry red crept Into her cheeks; for Felicia, spoiled child that she was in many ways, could brook no crossing of her will. "Then, Bobby Remick," she said firmly, "you will never get your next opportunity." "Won't I, though?" he laughed eas ily. That laugh nettled Felicia sorely. The sparks in her eyes flared into a veritable flame. "If you ever do if you ever get an other chance," she declared in low, unsteady tones, "I will answer you just as you dictate. You have brought this upon yourself. Now, good-by forever." She swept" out of the room swept out very grandly and very haughtily. Remick, left -there alone to medi tate upon his undoing, whistled softly under his breath. "My, my!" he murmured half aloud, "wouldn't that shake your founda tions? Never give me another chance, eh? And if she does, she says I may do the dictating! H'm!" He took up his hat and stick and wrent out into the cheerless gray of the cloudy afternoon. For once in his life he was really alarmed. Plain ly he had gone rather too -far in this matter with Felicia, He strode along aimlessly, unmind ful whither his steps were taking him. It began to rain a dreary, dripping down-pour that bade fair to drench him to the skin, but Remick, his mind a turmoil of troubled thoughts, poked along with his head lowered to the driving rain, quite un mindful of his own discomfort. He was thinking a rather new and dia turbing process for light-hearted Bobby Remick and his thoughts could give the dismal weather cards and spades when it came to actual gloom. i Presently he caught his breath sharply and stopped short, for, drawn up to the curb before a little craftman's shop a shop where Fel icia was wont to purchase candesticks and andirons and queer little bronze lanterns was the Grahams' motor. On the front seat, his yellow raincoat gleaming with moisture, the collar turned high about his ears and a pair of disfiguring goggles hiding his eyes, sat Chris, the Graham's chauffeur. Remick's teeth came together with a click. Three eager strides took him across the sidewalk to the side of the waiting car. "Chris, what are you doing here?" he demanded. Chris raised a gloved hand to the rim of his cap. "Waitin for Miss Felicia, sir," he explained. "Who is with her?" "No one, sir. She came down this afternoon quite alone." A great, glad light came into Remick's eyes. As he did so his hand went into his pocket and something crisp and green found its way into the chauffeur's palm. "Chris, you're a mighty good fel low: and I think you're a discreet one as well." said he. "Now;, have you enough sporting blood in your veins to take a chance and do just as 1 say?" Chris looked a bit dubious. Then he glanced at the contents of his right hand, and his doubts seemed to be of the order that are amenable to reason. "I want that coat and those gog eles." said Remick, "and I want to chahge places with you for an hour or so." Chris hesitated. "It will cost me my job, sir," he said. "I'll get you another just as good," Remick declared. Still Chris hesitated. Remick drew himself up. "Will you do it in the peacable fashion I suggest," he asked, "or do you want me to take that coat and those goggles by force? I'm desper ate. Chris, and at the present moment I'm perfectly capable of following such a course." Chris grinned. "That bein' the case, sir, and in event of anything hap penin' to my Job you'll sure find me another. I'll take a chance. Hurry, now." he went on, sliding out of the car. "Miss Felicia may come out any minute." Into the friendly concealment of a nearby doorway the two conspirators stepped, in a moment nemicic, nis identity effectually concealed by the high collar of the yellow coat and the gog-gles. climbed into the car, and perched at the wheel in an attitude verv like the one Chris was prone to affect Chris, meantime, swinging Remick's stick, wearing Remick's hat, and smoking with much satisfaction one of Remick's cigars, strode Jauntily away down the street and was lost in the hurrying crowds on the sidewalk. Three minutes later Felicia came out of the little shop. The proprietor himself opened the door for her, es corted her to the car and helped her in. "And you'll find me a mate to that candlestick, Mr. Barlow?" Felicia was asking. "I'll do my best. Miss Graham," the rotund little shopkeeper assured her. Then, "Home, Chris," she ordered, while Remick's heart all but jumped out of his mouth. A wav went the car, swung a corner to the smooth, gleaming asphalt of the avenue and went tearing alon? at af great pace. The streets went past in rapid succession; a lever was pressed down and the car answered with a wild burst of speed. Felicia gasped. "Chris, what has Mr. Graham told you often about speed ing this car?" she said severely. "Slow down at once. You are way bevond the speed limit. There was so sign that the chauf feur had heard 'her. The car, roar- lnir and puffing, shot ahead. Felicia raised her voice to make herselt heard above the noise of the throb- bing engine. "Chris" .there was a note of alarm in her voice "what does this mean? Where on earth are you going?, You've passed the house. Stopt Do you hear me? Stop at once!" She reached forward to touch his arm. They shot across a bridge and struck a smooth, hard macadam road in the suburbs. The houses were set back from the street.' The great elms, bordering it on either side, of fered a certain friendly concealment. The car slowed down and stopped. On the back seat a frightened girl saw the chauffeur shed his goggles and whisk down the upturned collar of his coat. And facing her, Remick was smiling blandly. "Now then," he said in tones he strove to make matter-of-fact. "I shall proceed at once to dictate that answer to my question. You prom ised, Felicia? You know you did,'.' he said. Felicia (rasped again. But she was not the person to accept defeat un gracefully. Her head was lifted proudly. Her nose went tne iraction of an Inch higher. "Well," said she, "proceed witn tne, dictation.". Then her eyes fell. A beautiful col or tinged her cheeks. "Perhaps perhaps I m not nan as angry about it all as you Imagine," she observed softly.

ONLY ONE GOOD REASON State Should Compel All Healthy Men to Marry, Says Rev. Hopkins. Chicago, Nov. 22. "There is only one pood reason for not getting married and that is ill ihealth," said the Rev. Fred erick E. Hopkins last night in Pilgrim Congregational church. "A medical ex amination for matrimonial purposes has more to commend it than such an ex amination for life insurance. "The state should compel men to marry for the srne reason It compels rrirucation and in some countries mili tary service. It is for the welfare of the state that there snouia De me larg est number of homes, and a normal and regular increase of population. "Brutality and criminality are usual ly the only valid reasons for divorce, and when granted for such reasons neither party should be permitted to marry again In less than three years, and in mcst cases the offending party never. "If after a suitable acquaintance a elrl wou'd like to marry a man, but lie does not ask her. then let her ask him. Why not? If she wants him she will probably give' him a good many hints anyhow, so why not speak right cut and ask for what you want? It Is a useless conventionality and a filly custom anyway we look at it to stick to the old-fashioned way.

Four Hundred Children File Out of Lincoln School. goes with a inodern playground will be installed in the Topeka No.i 2. BO' liberally donated by Dr. Kva Harding. The city officials have taken a great j interest in the movement and some of i the land donated this morning was addea to by the land bordering the creek- owned by the city. It is also thought that the city will do consider able grading and planting on their part of the donation as 'a help to those who are trying to make the playground movement a success in this city. Other Items of Interest From City Building. The' first real practical move on the part of the citizens of Topeka to es tablish in this city a system of play grounds for children was taken by Dr. Eva Harding., one of Topeka's fore most philanthropists, today when she delivered to the city council through Mayor Green the deeds and complete rights to eight acres of ground on Kan sas avenue Detween jugnteemn ana Twentieth streets to be used exclusive ly as a playground of the children of Topeka. This is the second park for children that Dr. Harding has given to the city of .Topeka the first being a small piece of ground at the corner of Sixth and Washburn avenues which is now called "Children's park." ..and was dedicated to the small boys and girls in this part of the city who wish a gathering place for outdoor sports and exercises. The piece -of land turned over to the city today by Dr. Harding is practi cally a city park and is larger than some of the Topeka city parks. It in cludes 94 lots along Kansas avenue Knar Rhunsranuncra creek where the city made a new creekbed and cleared off the land. It is practically au wooaeo and the drainage and shade is espec ially adapted to the purpose for which the park has been donated. "We will commence ana rmiBU'o grounds at once," said Dr. Harding mnMiinff. i ns nay vn-vjum ociation and the 'park board of the city will co-operate ana mane una ya" into one of me (prettiest piaces m xu- neka. Furthermore it will De a sate and healthy place for child gatherings and outdoor sports of all kinds. Started hy Dr. Harding. The play ground movement was started in Topeka about a year ago when Dr. Harding took it upon her self to give to the children of Topeka the advantages given to the children In the eastern i cities. In New York city where the children are crowded in the tenement houses the citv has platted out magnificent grounds where they can go and .romp around to their hearts content. Here they were in the open air in refined surroundings and under judicious supervision giving free vent to the superabundant vitality of childhood of health and strength for the future. The playground movement nas done wonders in other cities in the United States andtt is thought that it can do as much for Topeka. The re ports read during the various ses- siorts of the- ceSKress 'proved: '-conclusively that the-la.yground move ment was accompnsning an its pro moters had hoped; for: It was shown by actuat court records that the per centage of juvenile deliquency had de creased in a notable degree in dis tricts where public playgrounds were In operation. The Topeka association will make many improvements on the grounds Just donated by Dr. Harding. There will be sand plies wnere me cnuaren can dig wells, built forts and make "pies." Then there are swings of various kinds the! most popular of all the "Flying Dutchman", and ham mocks where small- babies can take long and delicious naps. There are see-saws and slides: Teachers will be there to teach dancing and calisthenics. A complete outfit of gymnastic apparatus together with instructors, ropes, flying rings, bars and vaulting horses for the boys where they may show off their powers to their fair girlish sweethearts. Everything that Change of Garments in China. The keun chi-chu (the war depart ment) has sent in a memorial to the throne that orders may be given to the officials and individuals of the whole empire to adopt the dresses of foreign style by wearing short Jackets. A private imperial rescript has been is sued to the board of ceremonies in the same day instructing them to de liberate upon this question and mem orialize to this effect. Shanghai Mercury.

Illinois Railroad Granted 'injunction and Charges Three Cents. St. Louis, Nov. 22. The Chicago, Pe oria St. Louis railroad, protected by an injunction grarted by the federal court, will begin today to charge 3 cents a mile for tickets to points where the road has no competition. This move is the entering wedge in the fight waged on the Illinois 2 cent fare law by the railroads. Since the law be came operative, all of the roads have complied -with it. and so- far as eould be learned last night no other road contemplates putting a 3 cent rate "back at this time. The Injunction obtained by the Buff Line shuts off interference by the attorney general of Illinois un til the couvt hears the case on its mer its. The situation is the same as that created in Missouri when Federal Judge McPherson enjoined the state officials from enforcing the 2 cent law. Chief Eaton has a plan on foot to make it a violation of a city ordinance to take or receive orders for liquors within the city limits of Topeka. There is a state law which makes it a misdemeanor for a man to take or receive orders for intoxicating liquors directly or indirectly by contract and the chief is anxious to have this law Incorporated in the city ordinance book and then he will make a clean sweep with his new broom. There are a number of booze agents In topeka at this time according to the chief. Not only are they in the city but they are doing a big business and it must be stopped. The state has made several arrests in other cities for this act and Chief Eaton has taken it upon himself to go after them in a more thorough manner. It looks as though everything would have to refer back to the money order busi ness after all. It was not so very long ago when one of the postoffice officials stated that the business in the money order department had increased "20 per cent since the anti-liquor laws went into effect. There is a perfect stream of coin going through the mails to Kansas City from Topeka and in return comes another perfect stream a stream that is taken with out money orders. With engines and fire trucks clanging down the street and the smell of burn ing wood ascending the stairways 400 little school children in the Uncoln school, at the corner of Fifth and Madi son, calmly kept step to their fire drill and marched out of the building at 10 o'clock this morning. A wooden plug near the furnace in the basement of the two story brick building had caught fire and fanned by the furnace fan it was burning fircely when discovered by the Janitor. There was no immediate danger from the spreading of the flames but an alarm was turned in and was responded to by chemicals, trucks, aerials and engines from headquarters and other nearby stations. The plug was extin guished in a very short time and there was no damage done. The excellent order and the success ful accomplishment of the fire drill of the young students is the only feature of the fire and it would have made many a mother give a sigh of relief to have seen the little children come marching out of the building in such a few seconds. LIVE WIRE LETTER. One Is Sent Out by the Commercial Club. The following extracts from a circu lar letter sent today by the secretary to 60 members of the Commercial cluh is self-ex r- J'.tory: "You ai i live wire according to the records at the Commercial club and therefore this .letter to you.

Wednesday, November 24, at 9 a. m., 60 boosters will start out and get these names in two hours. They will go in groups of Ave." "A few weeks ago a membership com paign was waged but the business dis trict was rot touched, and this will be the field for operations on Wednesday morning. The board of directors of the club has reduced the regular $10 mem bership fee to $1 and will give the privileges of the organization free dur ing December or In other words, J4 pays the membership fee and dues to April 1, 1910. "The workers heretofore have ex pressed themselves as having thorough ly, enjoyed the membership campaigns, and it is expected that they will show their loyalty to the club on Wednes day morning by reporting for duty. There will be no automobiles used this time." FOB THE GIRL WHO RIDES ASTRIDE. r V.W-'.'"1 wvw" l ALMA BELL ON THE STAND The Girl Will Tell Her Life Story to the Jury. Auburn, Cal., Nov. 22. Alma Bell took the witness sand today in her trial for the murder of Joseph Ames, her lover, last June, confident that in the story of wrongs that she would reveal she would succeed in arousing 'r. the breasts of the jurymen the pity that knows no law, and so go free. The girl was prppared to tell the story of her life and spent all of Sun day revealing facts to her attorneys and poing over letters in the prepara tion for her great fiht for freedom.

C. McNally. formerly a superior court judge of Utah, but. who has been United States consul at Nanking, China, for the last two years, arrived on the liner Chiyo Maru. He express ed optimistic views of the commercial future of China and said that the country would be a network of rail road lines within a few years. "It is of the utmost importance that Ihe United States participate in the financing of these roads," he said. China offers the greatest market in the world for railroad material and It ;s Dy taking pari in me luana mm American material will be given an tqual footing with foreign products. "Nanking is to hold a world's fair rext May, the first exposition of the kind ever attempted in China.

Fifty years will bring great changes !n the lives of men and this is shown n no better manner than an incident Jr. the life of S. B. Balliet. a wander ing Kansas animal doctor, who has specialized in the treatment of hog and chicken cholera. Balliet is at the Provident associa tion, homeless, without a living rela tive, and friendless as well. He but recently returned here from Oregon where he spent one and one-half years, but prior to that time he has always lived in Kansas, and since 1870 has traveled the state doctoring as he found ausht to do. Looking back reminiscently over his f5 years the man sees much of life, end perhaps the most disheartening trick of fate to which he looks is that cf the rebellion d3ys when in Colorado he was engaged in attempting to dig pay dirt out of a claim near Lead ville. Long he worked there, but the claim would not pay. Finally he gave up In disgust, and returned to Kansas. Since ihat time others have taken in hand the prospecting which has resulted In the making of Leadville one of the greatest mining territores in the world, rnd only recently the very claim which Palliet quitted in disgust was sold for 14,000,000. With the Idea of furnishing the worthy poor of Topeka with a Thanksgiving dinner, the Provident association announced about one week ago that they would be glad to have baskets of Viands donated them for this purpose. So far only a few per sons have signified their Intention of contributing to the cause. "I think the trouble is that the peo ple are so busy they do not realize Thanksgiving is so near." said Guy T. Justis. general secretary of the asso ciation this morning. "Only three persons have asked for names of fam ilies to supply with basket dinners on this day. We never have any trouble at Christmas time to get helpers, for the spirit of good cheer and benevo lence has then reached its climax. "When I consult our records and find the names of thirty old people with no relations, and few friends, about forty widows and deserted wo men who see but few happy days In their- efforts to support their families of little children, and a large number of families who because of sickness and other misfortune need much sym pathy and encouragement. I think It is the duty and privilege of our Christian community to remember such people on Thanksgiving as well as Christmas. "Fifty cents will furnish a nice basket for the average family, and If there are those who can furnish the money better than the dinner we will see that it Is spent for this purpose. "We shall reouire the services of several rigs on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, to deliver these dinners and if any can help In this way it will be greatly appreciated." SIMON STEPS ASIDE.

When Judge Simon committed Ny- J berg to the county jail for refusing to produce the cow, he told the prisoner he was convinced that he (Nyberg) was not telling the truth and could produce the animal if he would. Consequently the judge also refuses to hear the case now in question and has appointed Robert Garver in his stead. Nyberg remained in the Jail 24 hours at the time of his commitment. Then his attorney deposited a $50 bond for the value of the cow and the trial now on docket was Instituted. Location of Lines Along High ways Cause of Trouble. FIX UP A SCHEDULE.

A meeting of the good roads com mittee of the Commercial clubs was held this noon. It was reported that indications point to a large attendance at the tenth annual convention of the National Good Roads convention to be iield on December 14 and 15. The pevernors of Arkansas, West Virginia t nd Kentucky have sent In their lists cf delegates to the convention which ggregate 200 persons. It was decided to have a plain tadge printed for the convention with ihe words good roads in conspicuous letters, the color of the ribbon prob ably to be yellow. ICE TRUST CONVICTED. The authority of arbitrator In the matter of telephone companies and oth er public service corporations In their conflicts with township trustees anl the farmers along the highways is a new duty of the eountv engineer whi Is legally a highway commissioner in every lownsnip. Since the creation of the office of Shawnee countv enarlneer unrle?- tho statutes of the last legislature and the appointment of "V. R. Parkhurst to the position by the county commissioners September 1st. the.office has bpcomft m dumping ground for all matters where me commissioners find It best not to make a final decision. The matter of telephone line con struction has long been agitating the commissioners. When a telephone com pany builds a line along a road, cut ting away trees or other obstructions; the property owners have many a grievance and often lawsuits folio ir. Should the commissioners openly give the right to the companies to go ahead with their work, then the commission ers are open to the damage suits. Ther-5 are all kinds of complications arising in the dealings with the public service corporations using the county high ways. For instance, should they have an order to confine the poles to a cer tain distance from the sides of the established road boundary, then whers a road is narrow the poles get into the roadway, while on the wide roads they are unobstructive. Again should tho telephone companies have orders to place their poles a certain distance from the center of the road then the wider roads might find a row of polo.? out in tha roadway. Hence the commissioners have been careful not to make any 'definite or- uvrs. ine oniy poeslDle rights given would have to be on a sliding scale according to the widths of the various roads too varied and numerous to specify in every instance. Recent difficulties and proposed constructions brought W. P. Hemp hill, manager of the Independent Tele phone company and A. J. Mackey, manager of the Bell company, to the office of the commissioners this morn ins. Sliding; Scale Is Fixed. The county engineer was called and a conference resulted in a sliding scale as follows: On roads 60 feet wide, the companies may use cross arms of six feet length, thus occupying tlx feet of highway from the property line into the highway; on 50 and 40 foot roads, five foot arms, and cn 30 foot roads four foot arms. On roads as narrow as 20 feet and where the township road overseers have graded the road all to one side, there arose a difficulty. For Instance, there Is a road near Pauline of the latter sort where a line of poles might be planted directly in the wagon tracks. That was where the "commissioners remembered the engineer and to evade any binding agreement gave him the job of arbitrator simplifying the situa tion. Why not let the engineer who is supposed to know all about the roads fight it out and escape any damage suits? It was finally agreed by Managers Hemphill and Mackey that they would inform the county engineer of any proposed line building and that they would get together to avoid unjust en croachments either upon the highways or private property. The county en gineer will keep a record of all roads and lines and be able upon a moment's notice to tell just how the road at that point Is graded, how wide It is, and what space can be allowed the tele phone companies. In this manner it is thought a source of much inconvenience has been di verted to as workable and satisfactory a solution as possible. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

The Rosser Drug Co. 523 Kansas Avenue The suit of Mary E. Chase against the city of Topeka for $6,000 damago resulting from the condemnation of the rear half of lot 311 on Kansas avenue. for the purpose of making an aney around the rear of the Q. A. R. Me morial square, began In the district court this morning. When the site for the memorial build ing at corner of Tenth avenue and Jack son street was decided upon, the city offered to vacate the alley running east and west between the old school blind ing and the property of the Santa Fe. Then In order to have a passage way from the north alley beginning at Tenth avenue, 75 feet from Kansas avenue and extending: north to lot 311, to the continuation of the alley to Ninth street beginning at the rear of lot 311. 150 from Kansas avenue, the city condemned a 20 foot slice, 75 feet long from the rear half of lot 311. J. B. Larimer and Chas. Spencer are presenting the case for the plaintiff and City Attorney W. C. Ralston and J. A. Clark, his assistant, are defend ing the action of the mayor and coun cil. A score of real estate men, some brought by one side, and some by the other, are testifying to the value of the lot and the portion condemned That the rear of the lot, a five foot strip, is of no market value is prac ticallv conceded. From the fact that the old alley extended lengthwise with the lot for a distance of 75 feet an-1 then turned north across the rear of it, the lot was a specially valuable one to merchants because of the daylight fa cilities and the easy way of handling merchandise. The value of the property in that block has advanced rapidly since the assurance of the Mills building, the ad ditional Santa Fe offices and the me morial building. Real estate men say the market value of the lot is $13,000. The property in question was pur chased by Kent Chase in 1881 and re verted to his widow, Mary E., at his death. At present the improvement upon the property is of little value ex cept that it brings some rent. It Is oc cupied by the Alexander barber shop.

SHE CALLS ON TAFT. Governor Stubbs today sent the follow ing self-explanatory message to James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, at Wash ington: ;-T There Ik an epidemic of hog cholera raging in Kansas. Our Agricultural college wil not be prepared to furnish serum in large quantities before January 1st. We have requests in tne live kiock sanitary commissioner's office for serum to vacci nate approximately one hundred thousand hogs at this time. Cannot you arrange to furnish us this material temporarily until our Agricultural college Is able to supply The above message was sent after a conference between the governor and Joseph Mercer, hi live stock commission er. There is no appropriation available at this time for the Agricultural college to use for establishing a department for the manufacture of the cholera serum In suf ficient quantities to supply the demand. Commissioner Mercer is convinced beyond a doubt that this -serum will cure cholera. It has been proved to his satisfaction in severe test cases.

Stans field made at the opening of the sale of tickets for the fall musical festival on Friday morning that the preliminary seat sale would reach the 8,000 mark has been more than fulfilled, said Mr. Stansfield today. While the largest number of tickets were sold on Friday the demand for seats has continued steadily, and one remarkable feature of the sale is the fact that there was a Sanday call for 500 tickets. It has been a long time since an event other than that in the nature of a convention has taken place at the auditorium which has awakened so much interest among the people as this appearance of Victor's band of Venetians. It might be said that meet me at the auditorium is now the slogan in the city. At 2 o clock this afternoon tnere were but 19 of the first 2,500 seats left for Tuesday evening, which were to be sold at the ten cent rate. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the last of the 10 cent seats for the Victor con cert Tuesday night were sold. The only seats now left for Tuesday evening are 25 cent ones. There are still several hundred ten cent tickets unsold for Wednesday evening. Seats Taken Out. Chief Wilmarth has found that the seating arrangements at the auditor ium did not conform to the require ments of the state laws and conse quently a few of the aisle seats near the exits were today removed. This will reduce slightly the seating capa city of the big hall. Matinees All 10 Cents. Owing to a misunderstanding on the Dart of the school children it has been decided by the committee In charge of the musical festival to charge bu the one price of ten cents for all matinee tickets. Including sales at the door. Un der no consideration, however, will tick ets for the evening performances be sold for less than 25 cents after this evening or after the first 2.500 seats for each entertainment have been sold if they are disposed of before tonight.

THE STOCK GOES DOWN Other Trust Issues Are Carried Along With It. V Union Pacific and C. 0. Are Also Affected. New York. Nov. 22. Conferences of officials of and leading counsel for the Standard Oil company were held in this city today to begin the work of outlin ing the company's course of action fol lowing the adverse decision in the gov ernment's suit against the company rendered on Saturday. Thirty days are allowed before th-i decree takes- effect, and within that time the form of the appeal which the corporation announced it would take to the United States supreme court will have to be perfected. In speaking of the decision today John I. Archbold vice president of the Standard Oil com pany, took an optimistic view.' He said "1 believe the decision will result in legislation looking toward the repeal o the Sherman anti-trust act. For undtr that law it Is not only impossible for practically any corporation to transact business, but even co-partnerships may be attacked. I believe that the officials at Washington are coming to the view that the law is too drastic and that even Mr. Roosevelt himself shares i.i that opinion." Standard Oil stock was asain affected on the curb market today by the fed eral court's decision. The stock closed at 690 on Saturday and the .first sale today was at 650. E. H. Oarey, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, speaking to day as to what effect the decision in the Standard Oil cases would have on the United States Steel corporation, paid: "I do not think the Standard Oil de cision will have any effect whatever on the United States Steel corporation. 1 have several good reasons for believing this, but I do not care to express thein at present."

Nov. 2?.The dis turbance in speculative sentimemnt due to the decision against the Standard Oil com pany in the government's suit caused a feverish and irregular movement in prices on the stock market opening today.

Losses ran in American Cotton Oil and Allis Chalmers preferred to 1 ana Amalgamated copper ana American Telephone 1. Amalgamated oCpper ral lied a point immediately after the open ing, but the general movement continued very feverish. Efforts to hold the market during the first half hour centered on Reading, which was run up a point over Saturday's close. The general list responded only moderately and prices crumbled before 11 o'clock. General Electric, Union Pacific and United States Steel broke Amalga mated Copper 3, Utah Copper 3. South ern Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio, St. ixuis soutnwestern preferred ana Colo rado Fuel 2, and the list generally 1 to 2 points. There were fractional rallies as the hour expired. xnere were numerous rallies or a point and upwards Induced by the buying which developed on the break. Reading was again lifted 03 points over saturaay s close and Consolidated Gas 2i. Utah Cop per, rallied 2 and Amalgamated Copper 1. The tone was unsteady again at noon. Bonds were weaK.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALMONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBEB 22, 190& NORTH SIDE NEWS Expert Report on" Cost of Gra Teling Kansas Are. From Garfield Avenue to North City Limits. MUCH INTERESTED. Citizens and Farmers Are Favor ing Proposition. Other Items of Interest About North Side Affairs. It is probable that City Engineer Rogers will make his report today to W. M. Van Ness relative to the cost of graveling Kansas avenue from the nd of the pavins at Garfield avenue orth to the city limits where the road ras been graveled. The engineer has been estimating the cost as fast as possible, but has been hindered by ether work. The entire neighborhood If much interested in the proposition and would like to see the gravel laid. It is not likely that much objection will be raised to the cost of the under raking which will doubtless be com paratively small. It is not at all probable that the city will blockade the good work by refus ing to pav tor graveling the east half of the three blocks less the foot and e. half to be paid by the city street railway. The farmers of the vicinity are much Interested also. Under the existing circumstances, in bad weather, they can drive over good graveled road Jrom the Lyman school house, a mile rorth of Topeka, and then get stuck In the mud after reaching the city for the lack of three blocks of paving.

On the appearance of Watson's much discussed poem, Richard Le Gallienne issued a few stanzas, strongly criticiz ing Watson. In an interview, Watson leplied that he would come to America to meet Le Gallienne face to face, im plying that there would be trouble-. Le Gallienne then cabled Mr. Wat son that he would meet him on any terms fce named and suggested boxing gloves, with Jeffries and Sharkey as referees and that the bout be held be fore a select gathering of men and wo men, "including Mrs. Watson." Mrs. Watson will accompany the English poet to this country. MONTH OF FLYING. .'cro Club of America Planning for Extensive Meeting. New York, Nov. 22. Instead of hav ing one week of aerial flights for the international aviation meet which, is to be held in this country next year, the Aero Club of America is now plan ning a carnival to continue at least a month in various cities. So many cities have offered large sums for the big event that it has been found advisable to effect a different arrangement, par ticularly as it has been feared that the prizes for the international events would not induce all of the leading European aviators to come to this country. It is now proposed to have meetings at Baltimore. St. Louis, Cincinnati and possibly at Chicago. Denver and Los Angeles, one following the other and all termlnatir.g with the international contests. In this way the club believes that all of the cities will be satisfied and that it will place this country in the lead in aviation affairs. FOR REFORM IN FOOTBALL.

The, Record-Her-sld this morning says: "With the presidents of four of the ieading western colleges enlisted in the fight to eliminate brutal football, the move received fresh impetus yester-' nav That the erldiron tame ot tne Present day Is doomed for a sudden verhauling was the stand maintained ty four prominent educators. "Statements urging the immediate 'evision of the mode of play were re ceived from President Judson of the University of Chicago, President Cyrus Northrop of Minnesota, President Van Hise of Wisconsin and Chancellor Famuel Avery of the University of Ne braska. That ihe sport is fast becom ing a menace to the life and limb of til participants is the opinion of the educators. "On the local gridirons Saturday three vicitlms were added to the list of injured. Captain Blinkhom of the Morton Grove team was borne from -.he field, having fractured his collar lone during a fierce scrimmage; Jamea Sullivan of the Panther A.

Dustin Farnum fits into the title role like a handsome actor in to a rich man's di vorce case. It is his style. The play itself is well balanced, well staged and the characters are well represented. It is said that the production did not start out with its present cast, and was a misfit and a failure. This defect was neatly eradicated when the present cast took charge. ilcKee Rankin, who for years head ed his own company, would be hard to beat as "Larkin Bunce," the gamb'er partner to Kirby. and May Buckley, herself a star, lost none of her lustre in playing opposite Farnum. Miss Buckley may not be a beauty off stage, but she is remarkably fitted in the role of a pretty little southern girl. The character did not call for any emo tional acrobatics; the young women of the Old South were noted for their con trol in tragic situations, and she plays the part. The leading role calls for a handsome man with a good voice, and Farnum, the popular matinee idol, de livers the goods. The play is mild and artistic. The shooting of the arch villain is done by inference off stage, which is just as well. The shooting of those old flint lock pistols, such as are brandished in "Cameo Kirby." is a lost art. and an attempt to fire one before a critical audience might turn a tragic situation into a comedy. While the entire cast is good even to the quartette of real Ethiopians who sing plantation melodies and pick imaginary cotton off the back drop, special mention is due Donald Gallag her a 13-year-old boy who plays the part of "General." the little brother. His work is seldom equalled in juvenile parts. REWARD FOR A HERO. Soldier Given Orange Farm in Florida by Grateful Parent. New York. Nov. 22. Benjamin Levin of 4946 Michigan avenue, Chi cago, has given an orange grove in Florida as a reward to Private Charles ,T. Morris of the United States signal corps, stationed on Bedloes Island, for having saved Mr. Levin's ten-year-old son Robert from drowning on Friday. Mr. Levin and his son went to the jland to see the Statue of Liberty and .vhile there the lad fell overboard and ;he soldier, through an act of remark able heroism, drew him from the water. When Mr. Levin found it was im possible to obtain the soldier's promo tion, he offered him his choice between a life position in Chicago at $150 a month and a 80-acre orange grove in Florida, fully equipped with a house and implements for conducting it. Morris accepted the orange grove and Mr. Levin gave him sufficient cash to buy his discharge from the army and jay the expenses of himself and wife tc Florida. TY COBB IS FINED.

CORNER SIXTH AND QUINCY STS. WHY NOT THOU, JOHN? Reproduction of Miles Standish in the Fourth District. The persistent energy of William Allen White to get some one to run against J. M. Miller in the Fourth dis trict brings to mind the old story of how John Alden pleaded with Priscilla to look with favor upon the suit of Miles Standish. It will be remembered how Longfellow's maid turned coldly from the proposition that the gallant captain had made her through love's ambassador and then, looking upon John Alden with humid eyes she sug gested that he plead for himself. John did so and drew a bride in love's lot tery. Now John was a pretty good pleader. His handsome face and soft voice and poetic eyes were more than a match for the words of praise for an absent cap tain, even though the latter was a man of great valor. John could not help it because the captain's suit went wrong. Flesh and blood could not withstand the blinding flash of love and beauty. So Alden shut his eyes to the fact that he was representing the doughty Cap tain Standish and took the radiant maiden unto himself. Now in these prosaic times, in the Fourth congressional district of Kan sas is being enacted again the poetic phantasy of Miles Standish's unsuccess ful venture in the lists of love. Here is John Alden in the person of Willip Allen White, pleading with the Fourth district to accept an aDsent btanaisn. and the Fourth district, like the coy maiden of the long ago, is making eyes at the pleader. He is so much hand somer than anv of these Topeka fel lows. His voice is so soft, his words so beautiful, his logic so irresistible. Whv don't he plead for himself? Who could resist him? Not this Fourth dis trict maiden fitting by his side and caring naught for an absent war captain-.

GUILD MUSIC CO. 722 Kansas Avenue BATH ALMOST FATAL Pretty Xeilie Gruber Overcome by Fumes From Gas Heater. While taking a bath at the home of this Tichiner family at 1100 East Kighth avenue Saturday evening:. Miss Nellie Gruber. a pretty East Side girl, about 17 years' of age, narrowly es caped death from asphyxiation. She was overcome by gas fumes and hard work on the part of a physician and several others was necessary to re vive her. The Grubers live at 1018 East Eighth avenue, across the street from the Tichiner cottage. While calling at the Tichiner home Saturday evening Miss Gruber decided to use the bath room which is equipped with an "in stantaneous heater." Turning or. the water she lighted the gas jet and pre pared Tor her hath. She recalls get ting into the bath tub but nothing more. Some- time later Mrs. Tichiner. noting the long continued absence of the girl from the room, went to the door to the bath room and listening heard Miss Gruber moaning and gasp ing for breath. Running outside she mounted a box and gazing through the window saw Miss Gruber lying in the bath tub and breathing con vulsively. Raising the window Mrs. Tichiner crossed the room, opened the door and carrying the inert form of her guest from the bath tub, sum moned assistance. After long continued efforts Miss Gruber was revived. She feels little the worse today for her experience, but Dr. H. H. Keith, who was called, declares that a few minutes more in the bath room would have caused her death. The heating apparatus had not been equipped with a pipe to carry away the fumes of the burnings gas and it was these fumes that overcame the bathing guest. She allowed the gas to burn after beginning her bath and but for her timely discovery by Mrs. Tichiner would probably have died. THE LETTER EXPLODED. It Was Directed to Baron Albert Rothschild of A'ienna. Breslau, Nov. 22.

A schoolmaster who was on his way to Schillersdorff was stopped by a man who courteously requested the other to deliver a letter to the baron. The schoolmaster consented and had continued on his way when the letter exploded, frightfully injuring the bearer. CAMPBFXLi UNIVERSITY WINS. Defeats Washburn Second Team by 11 to 2 Score. Holton.

His Separate Opinion Filed in Stand ard Oil Case. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 22. Judge Hook in a concurring opinion on the Standard Oil case,, expressed strong views as fol lows "The principal conclusions, upon which we are all agreed, may be brief ly stated as follows: "A holding company owning the stocks of other concerns whose commer cial activity, if free and independent of a-common control, would naturally Jaring them into competition with each, is a form of trust or combination pro hibited by section 1 of the Sherman anti-trust act. "The Standard Oil company of New Jersey is such a holding company. The defendants wtio are in the combination are enjoined from continuing it and from forming another like it. The holding company is enjoined from ex ercising the :-ights of a stockholder in the subordinate companies and they are enjoined from allowing it to do so or to benefit therefrom in the way of divi dends. "It is thought that when the need of the combination the monopoly will naturally disappear; but lest, instead of resulting that way, the monopoly so wrongfully gained be perpetuated by the agirregation of the physical pro perties and instrumentalities by which it is maintained in the hands of a n-ember ol the combination and the liquidation and retirement from busi ress .of the other members, it is held that such a course would ivolate the decree. "The extent am3 limitations of the first section have been pretty well de fined in the many adjudged cases. The Second Sectfon. "The second section of the act pro vide s: 'Every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolize or combine to conspire with any other person or per sons to monopolize any part of the trsda or commerce among the several states o with foreign nations shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.' "Manifestly this section is quite dis inct from the first and was not 'ntend ed to cover precisely the s-ame grounds. To say otherwise would be to impute to congress the doing of the unnecessary and useless. Though the natural tend ency of a combination in restraint of trade, declared illegal by section 1. may be and generally is toward monopoly, denounced by section 2. and may even accept it, yet the scope of tho latter section is far broader and was designed to extend also to monopolies secured by other means than contracts, com binations and conspiracies in restraint of trade, which, as those terms neces sarily imply, require concert between two or more persons or corporations. "One person or corporation may of fend against the second section by mo nopolizing, but the first section contem plates the conduct of two or more. A cursory reading of the act shows this: That it was the intention of congress to condemn monopolies not based on il legal combination among several but secured by other means, also appears from the history of legislation: Against Public Policy. "To offend the act, the monopoly must have been secured by methods contrary to the public policy as ex- When the Stomach Stops Working Properly, Because There Is Wind in It, ITse Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to Set It Going Again. A Trial Box Free. THE DOCTORS call it flatulency, but unprofessitnal folks know it as "wind cn the stomach." and a most distress ing state of things it is. It is a serious condition of this great motor organ. Always annoying and painful in the extreme, at times often leading td bad and fatal results. The stomach em barrassed and hampered with wind, cannot take care of its food properly end indigestion follows, and this has a train too appalling to enumerate. The entire tystem is implicated made an active r passive factor in this trouble and life soon becomes a questionable boon. ALL THIS IS EXPLAINED in doc tor books; how undigested food causes gasscs by fermentation and formenta taon in which process some essential fluids arc destroyed burnt up wasted by chemical action, followed by defec tive nutrition and the distribution through the alimentary tract of chemi cally wrong elements and es a conse uuence the stomach' and entire system is starved. Plenty of food, you see, but spoilt in preparation and worse than worthless. A DERANGED STOMACH is the epi tome of evil; nothing too. bad to" ema nate from it. but the gas it generates is probably its worst primary effect and the only way to-do away witn mis is to remove the cause. STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS go to the root of this trouble. They attack the gas making foods and render them harm less. Flatulency or wind on the stom ach simply cannot exist where these powerful and wonderworking little tab lets ars in evidence. THEY WERE MADE for this very purpose to attack gas making foods and convert them into proper nutri ment. This is their" province and of fice. A whole book could be written about them and then not all told that n.ight be told with profit to sufferers from this painful disease, dyspepsia. It would mention the years of patient and expensive txperiment in effort to arrive at this result of failures innumerable and at last success. It would make mention of the different stomach cor rectives that enter in to this tablet and make it faithfully represent all. STUART'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS are noi alone intended for the sick, but well folks as well: for the person who craves hearty foods and wants to eat heartily and run no risk of bad effects, they act like a charm and make-eating end digestion a delight and pleasure. They keep the stomach active and en ergetic and able and willing to do ex tra work without special labor or ef fort. Don't forget this. Well people are often neglected, but the STUART DYSPEPSIA TABLETS have them in mind.

"The modern doctrine is but a recog nition of the obvious truth that what a government should not grant because Injurious to public -Welfare, the individ ual should not be allowed to secure and noid by wrongful means. "The baneful effect is the same w-hether the monoDOlv comes as a erift from a government or is the result of individual wrong doing. Nor can argu ments or reduced prices or product, economy in operation and the like have weignt. "During the discussion of the amend ment referred to aPDrehension was ex pressed over the broad language of the second section of the act and inquiry was made whether the committee hav ing the bill in charge intended it should make it an offense if an individual en gaged in interstate and foreign com merce 'by his own skill and energy by the propriety of his conduct generally shall pursue his calling in such a way as to monopolize a trade. "Assurances were given that the term monopoly had no such significance, but that it contemplated the employment of means which prevented others from en gaging in fair competition, the engross ing of trade and the like.
