GROUNDTO DEATH William Longaker Torn toPieces 'Neath Car Wheels. Aged Teteran Struck Down on West S.xth Street. IS DRAGGED 80 FEET. Blood, Bone Splinters and Flesh Mark Fatal Spot. Jenkins and Keith Expected to Take Action Today. William Longaker. an olrl soldier and member of the Lineo.n post, liv ing at 1513 Redden avenue was killed at 10 o'clock this morning by a street car near the corner of Sixth and Van Buren street. The old veteran had stepped down from the seat of a farm wagon and taken but a step when an Inbound car of the Asylum-South To peka line coming at a high speed down the hill struck him. In his pockets were his pension papers He had started for the court house to get his voucher for drawing his pension to day. The body of the old man was hor ribly mangled, the right leg was sev ered at the trunk by the wheels which tore open the abdomen and dragged the body 80 feet or more along the track. "I closed my eyes when the car hit him," said Karl Karr. a horseshoer in the Herron shop, in front of which the accident occurred. "I saw him step down from the wagon. The wagon was going east on the right side of the street. The street car came down the hill from the west at a ter rific speed. The man didn't have time to turn or see. it before it struck him. I closed my eyes for a second. He was under the fender when I opened them. The fender was too high to save him and he went under to the trucks. I couldn't look and turned my head." The fender of the car was locked when examined. The headlight glass was broken. The broken headlight would indicate that the body had first been thrown onto the fendtr. as would the locking of the fender in a carry ing position, but those who saw it say the fender jumped over the victim. That would also lock the fender in position. William Moran of 1131 Kansas ave nue, an employe in a grocery near the corner where the accident occurred, saw it from the door. "The car was coming awfully fast down hat hill and the motorman couldn't stop. I don't think he ever rang his bell, but I don't believe he was to blame I did not see any wagon. The first 1 saw was the old man on the track. I don't be lieve he saw the car." Didn't Hear Bell Ring. The motorman of the car was T. C. Knowlton, No. 107. iS'o one heard him ring his bell. Cars usually come at a high rate of speed down that hill and start the climb to Kansas avenue. This is the first of the long looked for acci dents on that street because of the high speed of the cars. Knowlton was he man sought out by fate. That h.'s speed was high is evidenced enough by the fact that- the victim was dragged 80 feet and his car went 120 more before he could stop it. Pale and trembling he stood in the crowd that quickly thronged around the dead man lying on the pavement.' He would speak to no one and only hung his head. He had almost? lost control of himself, ypt when the crowd had gone and the ambulance taken the old man to the undertaking rooms he again mounted his car and loosened the brake to run on in. C. S. Ransdall is the conductor of the death dealing car. He was on the rear platform and did not see the man In front. He felt the jolt and saw the work that's all. Tried to Speak "Two or three times the man tried tn speak. He opened his mouth an gasped, but could not utter a sound. Then he gasped again for breath and died," said Jerry S. Fox of the Santa Fu shops, who saw him directly after the accident. The victim was taken to the Shella barger undertaking rooms at the cor ner of Fifth and Jackson streets. His nephew, Amos Longaker. at 1501 Bos well avenue, was notified. William Longaker was a well-to-do farmer liv ing near Mission Center until last fall, when he moved to Euclid Park, a sub urb c Topeka near Washburn college. Coroner Keith viewed the body and the scene of accident this morning and will call an inquest for tomorrow morning. Statement of Knowlton. Following is the statement of G. C. Knowlton, motorman of car 149 of the Asylum line, which ran down and instantly killed William Longaker, on bixth street this morning: "I reached the top of the Sixth street hill and put on my brakes. Re leasing them slightly, I started down grade. When I was hearing the bot tom of the hill I noticed a farm wag on coming along the south side of the street about fifteen feet from the car tracks. Suddenly when the car reach ed a point, almost even with the wag on, a man jumped off the vehicle and started to cross the ttack. On reach ing the middle of the right of way; on which my car was moving, he stood still. I put on the brakes as best I could and attempted to get at the bell. The next instant the car hit him and he rolled over and went under to wheels. I was not moving at a rapid rate of speed, but was going slowlv In coming down the Sixth street hill I always have the brakes on and pow er off." RUSHED INTO FIRE. To Save $100 and Was Burned to Death. New York, May 4. Edward Heyde senior member of the dyeing firm ol reward Heyde Co.. was burned to death .oday, because he rushed back to save $100 in his coat, left behind in the dye shop from which he had been dragged after an explosion of dye stuff had set the place on fire and had nar--nt-lv r-nsed killing him outright. ..V WANTED A XEWSPAPER ROW. To the State Journal: I do not understand why you do not reply to the attacks which are being made upon you by the morning paper. There is nothing that the public en joys so much as a newspaper row." I realize that nothing is ever gained or proved by a controversy between news papers but the public enjoys It. It was cruel to print those figures from tho morning paper which show by its own statements that it is losing ground. You should have notified your contem porary at least a week in advance what you intended to do and then it would have been prepared to prove that its own figures were not correct. The morning paper is long on proofs. I have noticed that when a dog is contented and well fed that he doesn't make much noise but that when he is underfed and unhappy and suffering from a case of poor circulation he does a good deal of yelping. I also notice that the State Journal isn't making much noise just- now but that the morning pa per. i making a good deal of fuss. But it will relieve the monotony if you will only open up, for the public always enjoys a dog fight more than to have one pup do an the yelping. KANSAS AVENUE MERCHANT."

TOUR STATE IN AUTOS. Illinois Women Suff racists WU1 Visit Every Town and Hamlet. Chicago, May 4. Band3 of women suffragists, touring the state in auto mobiles, will descend upon every city, town, village and hamlet in Illinois before the legislative primaries next September in an effort to make the question of "votes for women" a lead ing issue in the campaign. At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Illinois Kauai Suffrage association todav the details of the plan will be taken up and arrange ments for organizing the bands of workers and securing automobiles for their use will be made. Every woman who has ever indicat ed symapthy with the woman's suf rage movement and who is fortunate enough to possess an automobile will be called upon to give her machine to the work. Speaking of the plans of the associ ation, Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCul loch, lawyer and justice of the peace in Evanston and a leader in the equal suffrage movement, said: "We plan now to have five women In each party first, a matron as chap eron; then a college girl; a working girl; a singer, to draw the crowd, and a woman lawyer. We will go into a town, get a permit to speak from the mayor and hold meetings in two or three different places and present our cause to the voters." ANOTHER NEW FLAT. A. II. Aldrich Buys Hill Property, Ninth and Topeka Avenues. A. H. Aldrich, of 1407 Buchanan street, has purchased of Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Hill the large residence and three lots at the southeast corner of Ninth street and Topeka avenue. The purchase price was $10,000 which, considering the fact that the house is large and mod ern, is considered exceedingly low. Mr. Aldrich will erect a modern flat of two stories with a basement facing on Ninth street. It will be of brick 50 feet square and will be made of four and, five room apartments. It will cost about $10,000. Curtis Placed on Senate Committee. Washington, May 4.

Norwegians Give Col. Roosevelt a Hearty Greeting On His Arrival at Their Conn try's Capital. NOBEL PRIZE ADDRESS Will Be Delivered at National Theatre Tomorrow Night. To Receive Degree From King Frederick University. Christiania, May 4. The capital of Norway, which was in mourning yes terday for Bjomstjerne Bjornson, was red, white and blue today with the en twined flags of the United States and the Norwegian monarchy in honor of Theodore Roosevelt. The reception given Mr. Roosevelt was impressive. There was no cheering at the railway station, but the crowds uncovered re spectfully. Cheering is rare in this country. The Roosevelts arrived soon after midday, having been brought from the southern extremity of the kingdom on a special train provided by the govern ment. Mr. Roosevelt was signally hon ored by King Haakon and Queen Maud, who went to the station personally to greet the party. The platform of the station was cov ered with a red carpet, and inside the building a temporary stand had been erected for the receiving party. This was occupied by the king and queen, with a large suite, all of the members of thp ca.binet. members of parliament, city and state officials, professors of the university and other distinguisnea (members of society. As Mr. Roosevelt stepped down, the king crossed the plat form, and, without waiting for an in troduction shook hands with the for mer president. He then presented Mr. Roosevelt to the nueen and Mr. Roose velt presented Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel and Kermit. The queen then took the colonel's arm and the king offered his arm to Mrs. Roosevelt. Followed by Miss Ethel and Kermit, they walked through the royal waiting roam, which was half filled with flowers and flags to the car riages. The party drove to the palace, where after a brief stop, the Roosevelts still accompanied by the king and queen and a few members of the royal household, drove to the American legation where they had luncheon as the guests of American Minister Pierce. The luncheon was followed by a reception. If his present plans are can-led out Mr. Roosevelt will remain here until 7:30 o'clock Friday evening, at which time he will proceed for Stockholm. Tomorrow he will deliver the Nobel prize address at the National theater and in the evening be entertained at a banquet. On Friday he will re ceive a doctor's degree from King Frederick's university. Mr. Roosevelt was formally received at the railway station today by King Haakon and Queen Maud. With the royal party were Premier Konow, For eign Minister Irgens, the president of the Storthing, C. C. Benner and mem bers of the Nobel prize committee. The meeting of their majesties and the former president was cordial. Dur ing the exchange of greetings the band played American airs. Great crowds in the streets cheered Mr. Roosevelt as he drove to the palace. The buildings along the way were elaborately decor ated, American flags being entwined with the Norwegian colors. Government Sent a Special. From Kornsjo to the capital the Roosevelts occupied a special train sent for them by the government. The train was in charge of Superintendent of State Railways Aas and his staff, who are responsible for the safe move ments of the royal train. The conductor wore a broad leather belt bearing the arms of Norway. There was special sig nificance in this, as the belt is designed to indicate that royalty is traveling. The car used by the Roosevelts was that formerly occupied by the Nor wegian cabinet in visiting the king of Sweden. Dr. Hagerup, Norwegian minister to A SEASONABLE STORY Denmark and twice premier of Nor way, was on the train and greeted Mr. Roosevelt on behalf of -the Nobel prize committee. The forenoon trip through the south east corner of Norway was enlivened by frequent demonstrations. At every place along the route the school chil dren had been given a partial holiday in order that they might see the dis tinguished American, The train stopped at a few stations and steamed slowly past others. In every instance children: crowded the station platforms and,, waving their hats and handkerchiefs, gave a va riety of school yells. Mr. Rooseveit never failed to acknowledge the saluta tions. There was a very large gathering at Moss, where a stop was made. Boys from the high school gave cheers which drew Mr. Roosevelt to an open window of the car. "That sounds like an American col lege yell," he said. "I wish you and the grown-ups good luck. The boys cheered again as tho train drew out of the station. IT. AGS ARE DIPPED. Unusual Honors Paid to Colonel Roosevelt by Danes. Copenhagen, May 4. Following a brief but enjoyable visit in Denmark, Mr. Roosevelt and his party left last evening for Christiania.- The trip to Helsingfors was the oc casion of an unusual compliment to Mr. Roosevelt. The Danish and Swed ish governments had ordered their squadrons of warships to take posi tions at intervals along the Danish coast between Helsingfors and Copen hagen and when the Queen Maud steamed past Mr. Roosevelt was ac corded honors usually paid only to royalty. The flags on the warships were dip ped, the officers and men saluted and the bands played American airs. Many merchar.t vessels in the harbor of Helsingfors and Copenhagen flew the stars and stripes. Accompanied by several members of the cabinet, American Minister Egan and other officials and friends, they motored to the castle of Fredericksborg and visited the national museum and then went on to Helsingfors where they were luncheon guests of Vice Admiral De Richelieu on board the steamer Queen Maud. Following the luncheon Mr. Roosevelt was presented informal ly with two loving cups by the steam ship compapy. CHILD IN BOY'S ABDOMEN Operation by Six Chicago Doctors Dis closes Strange Freak. Chicago, May 4. A case, which in many ways eclipses that of the Siamese twins, was brought to light when the 7 months old son of Martin Petzinger, died from an operation at the Norwe gian hospital. The operation disclosed the fact that a c'lili about 7 months advanced was in the process of forma tion in his abnomlnal cavity. Six doctors, beside those who did the work, -were witnesses to the operation, which was supposes to have been for a tumor. The first thing that attracted the at tention of the surgeons was the feet. Closer examination showed that the In ner child was perfectly formed in every particular. BRAKES FAIL TO WORK. Two Killed and Fifteen Injured in Wreck of Trolley Cars. TJrbana, O., May 4.

FIGHT EVERY STEP Incubator Baby .Kidnaping Case Battle of Attorneys. Effort Is Made to Secure a Delay. JUDGE RAINS SAYS NO. Detective Tillotson Placed on Trial Despite Protests. Great Interest Is Being Taken in Proceedings. History of the Famous Contro versy Over Little Girl. Holton, Kan., May 4. In a fierce and brilliant battle between the attor neys for Captain F. H. Tillotson of the Kansas City Detective agency,- and County Attorney Schenck of Topeka in the famous incubator baby case in the Jackson county court this morning the motion of the defendant's attorneys to postpone the cast against Captain Til lotson was overrueld by Judge Oscar Rains, and the empanelling of the jury was commenced at once. The bitter combat between the able attorneys for Captain Tillotson and Countv Attorney Schenck lasted aur ing the entire morning session of the court, and with objections to every ae cision of the court on the postpone ment of the case, the defendants fell fighting for the continuance. This means that the case against Captain Tillotson. head of the Kansas City De tective agency, will be taken up at once and the state will attempt to convict him on charges of assault and intent to kill, and with the kidnaping of the famous mcube.tor haDy, Marian iieaK-ley,- from the Bleakley home in To peka August 22, 1909: Thp hearing of the defendants, Jo seph N. Gentry. Robert Randolph and David Gregg, has also been set for this term of court. Gregg demanded a senarate trial. In a fight for continuance of the case this morning attorneys for the defense. Ed Wright. Harry 'riedDerg, Clinton Welsh and Louis Davison of Kansas City, first attempted to have the case reset. Then they asked for ten davs continuance end finally until Monday, but all motions were refused. Then they asked that another one of the defendants be brought up for trial first, but Judge Rains refused the mo tion. They finally objected to the em panelling of the jury, but lost out. Reasons for Delay. In the affidavit ior a resetting of the case they laid stress on five points: First The absence of John H. At wood, whom they claimed had posses sion of important papers. Second The absence of their alleged leading counsel, D. C. Tillotson of To peka. Third The absence of three material witnesses by whom they claimed they will prove that Capt. Tillotson was not at the Bleakley home at the time of the kidnaping. Fourth The absence of Mary Merrl fleld of St. Louis, who, they say, can relate all facts in regard to the ma ternity of the child. Fifth They state that they were not aware of the fact that they should bear the burden of the defense and did not have time to gather their testimony. They claim that they were misled in the matter and prevented by unavoid able circumstances from having a com plete defense. Sir. Schenck's Reply. County Attorney. Schenck took up each point in the affidavit and with sizi zling attacks, on the diligence of the Tillotson law-yers, ridiculed and ap parently tore to shreds their argu ments and their affidavit. He said in part: "The affidavit fails to show dili gence. None of the statements have shown it. There is not one single fact in the affidavit that holds water." He poured broadsides of hot shot on the affidavit. Harry Friedberg, one of the defend- ant's attorneys, when in speaking in favor of the affidavit for continuance told of his attempts to secure deed of adoption papers and of the case in Illinois courts. County Attorney Schenck jumped from his chair at jthis and shouted to the defense that the merits of the case were not wanted at that time. "If you are going Into that, why not excuse the Jury," said Schenck. A fierce tussle between the attorneys followed. Finally, Judge Rains poured oil on the troubled waters. "You will re frain, gentlemen, from discussing the merits of the case," said the court. Then the battle ceased abruptly. During another argument for the continuance of the case, Attorney Wright mentioned the fact that the ab sence of D. C. Tillotson of Topeka would handicap the defense, as Mr. Tillotson had been depended upon as leading counsel. "I had a talk with Tillotson at To peka and he said he would come if wanted," said Mr. Schenck in reply to this. "He told me he was willing to come up if paid," continued Schenck. This was a signal for another out break, but Judge Rains stopped it, say ing he did not care to hear any more arguments. Will Rely on an Alibi. From what was said by Mr. Tillot son's attorney this morning, it looks as though the defense will trv to prove that Captain Tillotson was not on the scene of the kidnaping in Topeka last August. That they had three witness es to prove an alibi was intimated by the counsel. On the othr hand, the state will ap parently mak a fierce fight on Tillot son. It is said that conviction in his case will practically destroy the battle front of the defense. Mrs. Stella Barclay eat in front of the counsel table. She was dressed in a blue foulard dress, a large black pic ture hat, kid gloves and carried a large bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Barclay spent most of her time chatting very pleasantly with Mrs. W. E. Atchison of Topeka and her attor ney, Edward McKeever. She seems in terested in the proceedings, but showed no distress or emotion of any kind. Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley entered the court room a few minutes after Mrs. Barclay and passed Mrs. Barclay on the way to her seat. The two women glanced at each other for a moment, but neither spoke. It will be remem bered in Topeka last summer after the preliminary hearings Mrs. Bleakley and Mrs. Barclay met and discussed the case, but from the action of the two women today, it appears if there was ever a truce that the "kiss and make up" spirit was forgotten. Mrs. Bleakley was in the rear of the counsel table in company with her mother, Mrs. Ora Thompson, Mrs. Frank Burghart and Mrs. Williams, all of Topeka. Mrs. Bleakley wore a dark green suit, kid gloves, a hat trimmed in black and red and like Mrs. Barclay, Mrs. Bleak ley talked and whispered extensively with her companions. Marian Bleakley was not present. The other defendants and witnesses were in their placeB. Holton and surrounding country is excited today. The beginning of the famous incubator baby case in the -Tnflrson countv court house this morn ing is the cause. The city is full of farmers who nave amen in carriages and automobiles for miles to take a peep at the main characters in the in cubator ba.by kidnaiping case. The Jackson county court house was packed with anxious and inquisitive people long before the docket was call ed. The court room, the corridors, the court yard and the court house square are gathering places of citizens of this city and county. Everyone is talking about the kid naping case. The Holton newspapers have refrained from comnrventing on the ca?e, fearing that another request for change of venue might be granted. But the people are free with their ideas on the outcome of the trial and political arguments have been sidetracked for the present. Court Room Too Small. The Jackson county court room only holds about 200 people but there are at least 300 crowded into the small space. The benches have been taken out and chairs substituted to accommodate the crowds. Judge Rains will undoubtedly have considerable trouble in keeping order during the progress of the trial. The sentiment in Holton is divided or. the case. Naturally there are a num ber of Charlotte Bleakley sympathizers, but the sentiment does not run altogeth er this way. There seems to be very little sym pathy for the two detectives In the case Frank H. Tillotson and Joseph N. Gentry but it is believed that Mrs. Barclay is innocent of the charge of assault with intent to kill that is placed against her. Mrs. Barclay will find Holton a hospitable town and so will her rival, Mrs. Bleakley. Tho "women in the case" have plenty of sentiment in their, favor. County Attorney Schenck has stated a number of times that I a believed that as fair and impartial jury could be found in Shawnee county as Jack son. Mr. Schenck based his opinion on the fact that the Topeka State Journal and other papers were read as much in Holton as in Shawnee county rural districts. From the manner in which the peo ple understand the case and its court technicalities, the claims of the Shaw nee county attorney seem to be -well founded. All on the Ground. All of the chief characters In the case arrived in Holton this morning. The defendants have brought a bril liant array of lawyers with them and will fight the case to a finish. Joseph N. Gentry, the leading defend ant, a Kansas City detective, has eight attorneys in his battle line. Dennlson. Nation Grant of Erie, Kan., Phil Wilson of Topeka, Crane Woodburn Brothers of Holton and a Kansas City attorney compose his Mst of lawyers. Frank H. Tillotson, head of the Kansas City detective agency, is represented by Friedburg Davidson. Senator Mil ton, and Edward Wright of Kansas City, and D. C. Tillotson of Topeka. Mrs. St ;lla Barclay of Buffalo, N. Y., has John H. At wood of Kansas City, and Edwin D. McKeever of Topeka. Robert Randolph of Kansas City has Marley, Vieregg Grover of Kansas City. David Gregg of Topeka has Joseph Reed of that city. County Attorney J. J. Schenck, with his assistant, William Atchison, of To peka. will conduct the prosecution for the state. HISTORY OP THE CASE.

Mav 4. with prospects bright for the state to fln- lsn its testimony in the Hyde case to day, the trial started with metnr r?. Vaughn on the witness stand this morning, his direct examination was practically completed -when court ad journed last night. Mrs. Logan O. Swope will be the next and last witness for the prose cution. How many witnesses the defense will offer and who they will be is something that is known only to the attorneys for Dr. Hyde. They are not telling anybody a thing about their plans. John H. Atwood, the prosecution's attorney, who, until his Illness began Monday, examined all of the medical witnesses, was in court again today. He did no active work, however. Mr. Reed continuing his examination of Dr. Vaughn. Hoping to see Mrs. Swope on the stand, the spectators arrived early to day. As usual, many were turned away because there was no room for them. "Was there anything in the stomach of Colonel Swope from which cyanide could have formed?" asked Mr. Reed. Nothing," answered Dr. Vaughn Mr. Walsh took the witcess 20 min utes after court opened. Dr. Vaughn fif d. V8tJn,;? on direct examination that the falling temperature of Colonel Swope was a sign of his having re w ,e2 respiratory poison. Mr. Walsh asked the witness ii the appli cation of an ice pack and the giving of a bath would not cause the temper ature to fall. Dr. Vaughn said such would be the case, but he did not know these things had bewi done None of the Hver of Ool. Swope is n existence, admitted the witness. The physician said he had, besides the cne 200 and fiftieth of a grain of strych nine offered in evidence, only a small amount in a chloroform extract. He did not know how much of the drug was in the chloroform. Dr. Vaughn said if there had been apple seeds or peach hearts in Colonel Swope 3 stomach hydrocyanic acid would have been present. This acid forms the deadly part of cyanide of potassium. Asked if he examined close ly the contents of the stomach, the physician said he looked at it with a magnifying glass. BOOM IN STOCKS.

JUST HARD LUCK. Topeka Loses a Fast Game to Omalia by 3 to 1. Little Hitting: Is Done by Either Team. TVOOLE Y AN EXCEPTION Only One of Cooleysox Who Hit the Ball. Chances to Tie Score Kipped in the Bad. Where They Play Tomorrow. Lincoln at Topeka. Sioux City .it Wichita. Omaha at St. Joseph. Des Moines at Denver, The. departing game of the Omaha series went to Omaha Tuesday by a score of 2 to 1. Topeka reversed the previous order of things and took the hard luck which :.as been following the Rourkeltes. Beside this we made three errors and frittered away a chance at the game in the eighth and Main In the ninth. The two teams garnered tlx hits each and the Hogs are credited with, a single yellow one while Topeka has three. Topeka irot two hits in the last Inning but they did not w in mch a may that we could score on triem. The only wore of the day for us came w hen.

He was rudely awakened by Gonding and Kane nd put out of his berth.. This was in the seventh inning. Wooley was nailed at second and Reilly ballooned to Shot ton. The locals hit once in the first. ence in the third, once in the sixth, once in the seventh and twice in the last act. That is a pretty good ex planation of why we lost the game. Jackson walked five men but this had nothing to do with the run getting of the enemy. He also struck out five. Jackson has everything but still lacks control. The enemy scored one in the sixth and one in the seventh. Two hits were registered in each inning. Also an er ror on T)ar of Tommy R-'illy.

Topeka has made a poorer show l?ig In attendance this year than Pueblo did last year. The team is playing good iball and it costs money to keep a ball team going. Cooley has been giving the visitors the guarantee right along now. Better crowds must turn out. This is not hot air but the actual truth. It lias been withheld as long as possible. Towns around the circuit have been hurling the appellation of "dead ball town" at us all spring and it begins o look as if we deserve it. The attend ance has been rotten and recalls the days of Webb City in the old Western Association. Topeka stands a mighty jscod chance to see more Western As sociation ball, if she sees any, unless the attendance picks up. You can't run a ball team on good will. fox robbed Thomason of one that was marked safe In the fourth.

The Des Moines franchise of the Western League will not be transferred to Oklahoma City, if Owner Higgins determination to pre vent it is successful. According to an interview with Higgins. printed in the News tt-day, he proposes to spend- mon ey freely in keeping the Des Moines team high class. Among the additions in prospect is "Ironman" Lange o the Chicago Americans. "O'Neil is only the president of the league while I am the owner of the Des Moines team," said Higgins. ac cording to the published interview touching on the reported statement of O'Neil that the Des Moine, franchise mi;iit go to Oklahoma City. "I think Des Moines is the best town in the league outside of Denver and I am go ing to invest more money in my team. We have 10.000 tickets already sold for the opening game there." Des Moines begins a four game ser ies with Denver today. WESTERN LEAGUE GOSSIP. The Lincoln News believes that it is Unfair to ask "Dick" Cooley to pay $3,000 a month for ball players and then turn out 400 crowds to the games. Gonding. the veteran catcher of Omaha, is far from all in judging from the way he 'has been peppering the ball. Perhaps the presence o". three Des Moines baseball writers with the Champs on their first trip out is a hoodoo. The Topeka Cooleysox seem to have caught their second wind. Perhaps the team's winning streak will swell the crowds at the Topeka ball park. Alderman, Towne and Quillen clashed with Umpire Clark, and were chased from the field. Joe Chabek went in at short arter Quillen's retire ment and McLean took the mound in place of "Dal." Sioux City Tribune: It Is predicted that young Paul Cobb, brother of the famous Tyrus. with Lincoln is going to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious relative. He manages to connect safe ly with the ball at least once in each game. Jack Hendricks has recruited an other heaver from the Central league. Jack Hammond, weight 200 and height 6 feet, is the man, and last year with Fort Wayne he won 21 and lost 13. If anybody thinks- McGlll and Gnn thorpe aren't ready to spend money for a winning team let him forget it. Sioux City Tribune: Guess that Sat urday game at Denver was some con test Eleven Innings and neither side returned the winner, is going some. One good thing is revealed by the game, and that is the Packers are possessed of the real fighting spirit, and when they have that quality games will be won that ordinarily would be tossed off. Says the sports-writer -of the Wich ita Beacon: "The lucky player who hits the sign in right field with a fly ball gets a check for S50. That in formation was forwarded to me offi cially today, along with instructions to issue an order for five pounds of to bacco for each home run. If Harry Welch were playing in Wichita all the time he would, have enough tobacco to start himself in 'bnsinesi by the time frost comes. He has 15 pounds com ing now." Cleveland Leader: "The fans will miss Jhe smiling 'countenance' of George Davis when the White Sox show themselves In the ball park this week. Tke fans of Cleveland have never forgotten this wonderful player, who did so much to keep this city in the race in the old days, and whose going away caused as much sorrow then as' would the sale or -trade of Lajoie to another club today. Comis key once said of Davis: 'He can't bat very much how and he has slowed up in his fielding and base, running, but, confound him, I would rather-have him at bat or on the bases in a pinch than any other man of my team. St. Joseph News-Press: Today's game closes the first series with tne Antelopes and tomorrow will be anoth er off day for the Drummers. How ever, Manager Holland has arranged a game with Maryville and will take his Premiers to the Mink league town for an exhibition game.' Thursday the Rourkes, led by Manager Billy Fox, will be here for a four days' series and May 9 Sioux City will return for one game. Then the Drummers will leave for Des Moines to open with the Champs. Now bugs, the series with Omaha and the lone game with the Sioux will be the last you will have a chance to witness for 20 days. Boss Jack leaves May 9 for the Iowa capital and will be on the road with his Drum mers until May 29, when he will wind up the first series with Topeka and re t '.rn w' h the Cooleysox for the Decora tion Day game at League park, which is to be a double barreled affair. If you want to get a last line on the horn 2 boys before they take their first trip, watch the Omaha series. V ILU i J TlAnf1riVs mari St TTist!tkf In selling Pitcher Herbert to Shreveport?

Herbert looked good while here. But then a fellow can't tell, and as Manager Hendricks i3 giv ing Denver a winning team we must side with Jack and stick by him, no matter what kind of a deal he pulls off. He is giving us results, and that's what we are after. Otto Floto in Denver Post: Owner Gunthorpe of the Denver team called on the writer this morning and wishes it positively stated that anyone using a complimentary ticket to which he is not entitled will have the same taken from him, and the man to whom the ticket was Issued will have his rights in the same canceled. It has got to be a habit with officials who are favored with the courtesy of complimentary admission to the grounds to allow their friends to us? them. The club owners have made up their minds to absolutely put a stop to this practice, no matter who it hits. Mr. Gunthorpe said: "It would surprise you to know how many people get tickets they are not entitled to. They bring pressure to bear from the outide and can not weil' be re fused. Instead of using the ticket for their own admission they allow it to get into the lands of others. We will stop this. Then, too, the newspapers do iot make use of the tickets issued to them and give them to their em ployes. I have stood on the gate and watched some of our biggest mer chants pass through the gate on a pass secured from a paper. Wouldn't you think that alter the great sums of money we spent in securing a winning team that the merchants of- the tewn would show enthusiasm and interest enough in the team to patronize us and show their appreciation of our efforts. For remember that a winning team is a great advertisement for the city, vv e have taken up at least a dozen passes of this kind and will continue to do so." I for one am in sympathy with the club management on this point. Denver at host is the worst deadhead town of its size in the country. Ask any theater manager that comes here. The people have been spoiled, and the old saying. "Once a deadhead always a deadhead," seems to hold good here more than in any other place. Des Moines Register and Leader: What an awful lacing the' Western league batters are giving the pitchers thus far th'j season! There are now forty play era who are hitting .300 or more. Almo?t every pitcher in the league is having his troubles and it is a queer, day when the box scores do not show three or four of the twirlers in a single game. Des Moincr Registfr and Leader: President N. L. O'Neill of the Western league is exiected in the city this morning. Th- Western league execu tive will look over the situation here. The traveling men are making great preparations for the traveling men's day which his been set for May 21. Wicihta will be here at that time trying to keep t,he Champions down. The traveling men are going to get out 1.000 or 1.500 strong and parade the streets with bands and other noise making devices. They are planning to make the day the greatest in the year. Wichita Beacon: Tex Westerail was the only Jobber who failed to get a hit yesterday xcept Hassler, who was up but once. The Texan prefers to get his when the other fellows are not hitting. As they speak of "Buck" Weaver in Denver: Denver Times: "Old reliable Buck Weaver was all to the good. Out of four times at bat he landed two singles, a double and a triple and scored two runs himself besides driving in others. His pegging to second made the Oma hogs who tried to steal look slower than cart hor." RAILR0AD NEWS. Middlemen Profits the Canse of High VPrices. Farmers' Alliances Necessary for Nation's Welfare. B.F.YOAKUM'S ADDRESS National Convention Farmers1 Co-OperatiTe Union. Other Items of General Interest in Railroad World. St. Louis, May. Excessive profit tak ing by middlemen, was the reason as signed, for high prices of food-stuffs by B. F. Yoakum., chairman of the Frisco system, in an address which he made this afternoon before the na tional convention of the Farmers Edu cational and Co-Operative Union, now in conference in this city. He declar ed that theheavv reductions in freight I rates of the past few yeara had been fnhsnrh&1 Vi V. -1 i 1 1 i in? uooira a ii u um duaicu Jn by the farmers or consumers. Bet ter marketing methods were advanced as a means by which farmers would get better prices for the food they raise and at the same time lower fig ures would be given to those who buy the stuff for use in the kitchen. This railroad man described the demagogic politician- as a disturbing and ex pensive middle agent and urged that ne pe cut out in" the dealings which the railroads- and the farmers should have with each otner. "The most important force for the welfare of the nation will come when the land owners of America are organ ized," said Mr. Yoakum. "This organi zation is important not only for the benefits which will come to f.he farmers but on account of money which will be saved oy the consumers. It is not prices received by fanners which make livirg expenses high, but the profits of iae oeaiera handling the foods between the farmer and consumer. "The Florida farmer receives $2.25 for a bushel of green beans, the railroad gets 50 cents for the 800 mile haul to New York and the consumer pay $6.40 ror this same bushel of beans. There is 35 per cent for the grower, 8 per cent for the carrier and 57 per cent tor the dealer. Tms is not a fair di vision. "Thirty cents a dozen was the aver age price of eggs in New York last year, while tho farmers of Arkansas and Mis souri received 15 cents. The freight was two cents a dozen. The men who receive the eggs at a freight station in New York and deliver them to the con sumer take 13 cents a dozen profit.- "1 he rictr farmer of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas gets 2,& cents a pound for tho grain and the consumer in New York pavs 10 cents a pound for this nee. The freight is 1 cent a pound If the rice farmer were paid 3 cents tone cent more than he is now getting) and the dealer took one cent profit, (which is 25 per cent) the New York consumer would get 30 pounds of rice for a dollar instead of jo pounds as now. Do Business Direct. "Every member of every community is interested in aiding the farmers to organize a system of doing business direct from the field to the table. Ef fective organization cannot be had by c-reating prejudice through politicians who have no relief to offer. The cotton growers are not organized and they are 103ing money thereby. The rail road takes $4.60 for hauling a bale of cotton from ffin to spinner, but the speculator must have jo.aO per bale. The time will come when states will construct warehouses to aid farmers in marketing their cotton. I understand that Louisiana is to be the first state to take this important step. Under this proposed Louisiana warehouse system every farmer, individually or through his organization can ship his cotton to New Orleans and hold it until he is ready to sell. Tis warehouse receipt is better in the hands of a New Eng land or Manchester spinner than tho contract of a epeculator to deliver the cotton. More Laws for Farmers. "One of the things advocated by the Farmers' tTninn is a greater proportion of federal appropriations for agricul ture. In a recent speech in the lower house of congress. Chairman Tawney, of the committee on appropriation, said that 71 per cent of the revenues of the government went ror oniiuary expenses Bowel Tonic For Old Folks Free No matter how sound and healthy old people are they still suffer with their bowels. The machinery of the system doesn't work as it did when they were young and active. But while you can't restore youth you can help age to live more pleasantly. That a laxative is needed every little while by people as they get around fifty and beyond, there is no doubt, but it is important which laxative Is taken. Old people, women and all, except thone who are in the prime of life should avoid any thing that gives a shock to the system and which at best is but a temporary ex pedient. Among these are pills and ca thartic tablets, salts and purgative wa ters. They are too strong and only do temporary good. Not only that, but they really bind th bowels next day. What you want Is something that will regulate the bowels and again get them In the habit of performing a certain function at a certain time, while at the same time toning and strengthening the muscles of the stomach and bowels.

This session the senate has passed a bill providing for $3,500,000 to pay for a few acres of land in Washington to give a better view of the capitoi. This is the kind of reclamation which Wash ington understands and to improve these tex acres the legislators are ready to give one-quarter- as much, as given for agriculture. "If the government would spend 1 million dollara a year for 12 years, for c'rainage surveys and in opening water ways to the Gulf, it will make available 25,000,000 acres of Mississippi valley land for cultivation and this would be at a cost of 75 cents an acre.

The average tons per loaded car moved in that month was 22.4, one ton higher than the Dest average nere tofore recorded. The average number of miles traveled by a freight car in nna dav. 5.4 miles, was only a frac tion below the dally distance' covered in October. As a result each j car moved an average of 405 tons one' mile every day, which Is a new record In ton miles per car per day. The average dally earnings or each car was $2.68, which, while two cents lower than the October figure, is one cent higher than the highest average j previously- recorded that of October, 1907. This decrease from the month previous,, when -taken in .connection with the increased ton mile figures, in dicates clearly that traffic handled was made up of a larger proportion of low rated commodities, showing the ap proach of winter traffic. On the 156 railroads reporting there were, owned in November 2,071,165 revenue freight cars and 33,951 freight engines. The total freight ear mileage was 1,658.150,474 miles, and the total number of tons of freight moved one mile was 24.125,212,404. Gross freight earnings of the roads reporting was $168,196,570. WILL OPEN NEW ROAD. May 15 Set for Beginning Service on Arizona California. San Bernardino, f May- 4. General Manager Drake and Passenger Agent Hastings of the Santa Fe Prescott Phoenix Railway company have gone to Los Angeles, there to make final arrangements- for starting service over the Arizona California railroad about May 15, by which time the line will have been completed through to Cadiz. A through train will be run be tween Phoenix and Los Angeles, with close connections at Wickenburg for Prescott, which will no longer go through Ash Fork for its western busi ness. From Prescott to Los Angeles by the present route is 545 miles. By way of Wickenburg and Parker this will be cut to E07 miles. It is Drob able that the projected through fast tram will not be started before June 1, when new equipment probably will have been received. Then It Is pro posed to cut the running time down from Phoenix and Prescott to Los An geles to sixteen and possibly to four teen hours. While the new road west of Parker runs through desert land, it is a land rich in natural resources. About thirty-five miles west of Parker is a great bed of low-grade niter. There is a deposit of epsom salts more than half pure. Salt is found in abundance, both in beds, as at Salton and in crys tallized rock form. Carbonate of sodo and borax beds have been located al ready. One item of especial interest to oil experts is that in several of the gulches near the railroad have been found chunks of pure parafin, indicat ing the presence of petroleum of il luminating value, similar to that of the Pennsylvania fields.

Miss Martha German, who lost her life last week by rushing into her home on West Main street to save the pictures of her parents from the fire which started after a gas explosion which wrecked Some Persons feel bright and ambitious a part of the day; and then listless and dull. Most of these people are coffee-drinkers. They can not account for their whimsical moods and don?t realize they are doing anything to cause them. But take a look at the case in the light of science as applied to physiology. Ever study the way coffee acts on the brain and nervous system? "Caffeine," says a scientist, "is a drug found in coffee and tea and is classed among the habit-forming drugs, like whiskey, morphine, cocaine, etc. "It acts as a so-called heart stimulant first but the reaction later shows that it is in reality a paralyzant weakens the nerves and partially paralyzes them. "Caffeine causes a short period of excitement of the nervous system a delusory effect. "But this is followed by the inevitabe depression of spirits, dullness of in tellect and sometimes dizziness." That's what coffee does, in part. On the other hand, thousands of people have learned to distrust coffee and have found in well-made POSTTJM a beverage which tastes similar to coffee but has none of the harmful effects of coffee. If you would feel clear-headed and well all the time, drop coffee and begin using POSTUM. But be sure you read directions on pkg. POSTTJM must be made right (well boiled) to bring out the real food value. Thousands of people have found it. You can do the same and it is quite a pleasant discovery that "There's a Reason" for POST Read the little book, "The Postum the dwelling, left an estate of $15,000. says the Tribune.

There's the sign that's getting to be a common thing in America. Corporations are retiring men at 50. They are not hiring aiiyone over 40. A baldheaded man usually looks 10 years older than he is.

The State Journal Is a member of tha Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building: over wires for this sole pur po. Fame la, Indeed, a fickle thing. The late Lottie Collins acquired consider able of It by singing "Ta Ra Ra Boom de Aye." New York city must be quite as big a place aa its friends claim. Uncle Joe Cannon passed several hours there the other day without being noticed. From all over Kansas, thanks are go ing up these days to old Mr. Jupiter Pruvlus for his recent visit. It is to lie hoped that he comes again before Ions. Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson Is, no doubt, in high fettle these days. Twenty companies of coast artillery, U. S. A., are soon to be stationed In the Philippines. It is to be sincerely hoped that the regents of the University of Copenhagen do not ask Colonel Roosevelt for the proofs of some of his hunting experi ences in Africa. Everything seems to be gravitating towards Topeka. The latest movement In this direction concerns the estabKsh ment of the state Sunday school head quarters htre. It's a trifle strange that Emporia, of ali the places in Kansas, should suc cumb to a wind storm. More wind is developed there than in any other lo cality in the state. Gifford Pinchot has scored again on Mr. Ballinger. The biggest tree In the b'equoia grove in Marin county. Cal., has been formally dedicated to the one time chief forester. Evidently, Mr. Dick Hopkins, of Gar den City, one of candidates for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor, has a sweet tooth. He has started on the trail of the sugar trust. Edward Payson Weston has succeeded In crossing the continent again on foot. This time he negotiated the long journey in "7 days. Presumably he will soon start on a retur.t trip on a 70 day schedule In order to keep his muscles from stiffening up. Merited rewa.ds in all human activi ties come along with unerring cer tainty. That's why Balie P. Waggener, of Atchison, has been promoted to the general soUcitorshlp of the Missouri Pacific for its Important lines in Kan sas, Nebraska and Colorado. Probably that scoop of the Washing ton Post In relating that Mr. Roosevelt has written to President Taft endorsing his administration and declaring that he will not be a candidate for any office la explained by the fact that a former Topeka newspaper reporter is now working on the Post. Mrs. Howard Gould was outraged when the court allowed her only $30,000 a year alimony. She could not figure It out how she was going to exist on any sue, meager sum. And now she has given a valuable 1.400 acre farm In Virgil nia for the purposes of a free Industrial school for girls. There has been a most material drop In the cost of living in and around iBrooklyn, N. Y. The Black Handera there are now demanding, under the usual penalty of death if the demands are not met, the payment of only $3 by their intended victims. This also makes it evident that lives are not ac counted of much value In the sleeping quarters of New York. Senator George Hodges, of Olathe. is making It more apparent each day that he is the John Quincy Adams of Kansas pohtiC3. Although being most promi nently mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination he refuses to make any kind of a per sonal effort to secure the honor. He is putting in practice his belief that the office should seek the man. That grave injustice was done to John P. Rogers when he was ousted from the city engineer's office on chargc3 that his estimates for the pav ing work on West Sixth avenue were so faulty that the contractors were able to mulct the city and the property own ers. Is now apparent. The report of an expert who was employed to check over these estimates and the work en tirely exonerates Mr. Rogers of having made anything like serious blunders in them. An injustice has tieen done to Char lie Taft. He was ducked In a muddy brook by some of his playfellows at the boys' school he is attending- at Water town, Conn. This resulted lrt the fac ulty of the school placing such kind of sport under the ban. They should not have made such a decision until the president's son had enjoyed the oppor- tunity of sort of squaring things by helping to duck some other fellow. Sure ly, Charlie Taft, as well as any other boy. is entitled to a "square deaL" But perhaps some people insist on treating the son like others do his father. INSURGENTS AND DEMOCRATS Interest in Washington continues to center these days In the handling of the railroad legislation one of the most important features of Taft legis lative program by both branches of congress. "During the last few days," says a recent Washington dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald, "the Democrats and the 'insurgents' of the house, ostensibly for the purpose of perfecting the bill, have forced through a sensational series of amendments which may cause a prolonged deadlock between the two branches and perhaps ultimately defeat the whole thing. That the bipartisan alliance which now constitutes the actual working majority of the house has so emasculated the bill as to endanger its passage is now the regular plaii-t. It Is asserted that the alliance is oper ating so as to put responsibility for failure to enact the measure Into law upon the Republican party as a whole and thus discredit the administration." Suggestions along this line were made in an editorial in these columns h few davs rsto and were greeted, of course, by some of Republican "in surgent" newspapers as vagaries. They keep insisting all the tirre that the 'insurgents" in congress and these gentlemen say so themselves occasion ally, are in sympathy with the Taft program of legislation. That being the case, they are taking a mighty pe culiar way of showing If. They are certainly not standing by President Taft In this matter of railroad legisla tion. They are working Hand in glove with the Democrats under the leader ship of Champ Clark. It is the Demo crats with the aid of the "insurgents" who are sounding the death knell of a railroad regulation scheme which has been devised by President Taft and his advisors, and favored by the mem bers of the interstate commerce com mission. It is not a plan that is satis factory to the railroads, either, as some ill-Informed people would like to make others believe. It is a plan, though, that would treat the railroads justly and at the same time bring them ac tually under the control and regula tion of governmental authority, some thing that the famous Hepburn law, passed during the Roosevelt adminis tration, tried to do and failed utterly. If the Democrats can kill this legis lation or turn it into a legislative mon strosity which will work more harm than good, that will be pie for them, if they can fool the people as to who Is actually responsible for such a 6tate of affairs. The chances are, though, that thev will not be able to fool the people. President Taft and his friends are alive to the situation They are going to see to it that the responsibil ity is placed where it belongs and that will be right on the shoulders of the Republican "insurgents," who Insist that they are in favor of the Taft and Roosevelt policies but who take ad vantage of every opportunity present ed and act with the Democrats in handing these policies the blackest kind of eyes. And these self-same "in surgents" were sent to congress by Re publican constituencies with the nat ural expectation that they would up hold the hands of a Republican presi dent and a Republican administration in the furtherance of Republican prin ciples for the administration of gov ernmental affairs. HOAV THE TARIFF IS WORKING. That the new tariff law is working out pretty well, despite the conten tions of its critics, many of whom are of the unfair type. Is made apparent by a bulletin which has just been issued by the bureau of statistics of the fed eral department of commerce and la bor. It shows that the imports under the new tariff have increased 33 per cent in manufacturers' materials, 26 per cent in finished manufactures, and 3 per cent In food stuffs. This statement is the result of a compari son of the import figures for the eight months, August 1, 1909, to March 31, 1910, with those of the cor responding months of the preceding year. The bureau of statistics groups its import figures in five great classes: crude materials for use in manufac turing, manufactures for further use in manufacturing, manufactures ready for consumption, foodstuffs crude, and foodstuffs manufactured. The value of crude materials for use in manufacturing imported in the period August 1, 1909. to March 31, 1910, aggregated 401 million dollars, against 298 million in the same months of the preceding year, an in crease of 34 per cent, manufactures for further use in manufacturing, 195 million dollars, against 149 million last year, an increase of 31 per cent; manufactures ready for consumption, 252 million dollars, against 200 mil lion last year, an increase of 26 per cent; and foodstuffs of both groups, 215 million dollars, against 208 mil lion last year, an increase of 3 per cent. Combining the two classes of manufacturers' materials, the total for the 8 months' period of 1909-10 is 596 million dollars, against 447 mil lion in the corresponding period a year earlier, an increase of 3 3 per cent. The principal articles forming the class, crude materials for use in' man ufacturing, are: hides and skins, India rubber, wool, silk, cotton nd fibers. Hides and skins imported in the 8 months August 1, 1909, to March 31, 1910, amounted to 78 million dollars, against 50 million in the correspond ing period of last year;lndia rubber, 79 million dollars, against 42 million last year; wool, 4 0 million dollars, against 27 million last year; silk, 47 million dollars, against 56 million last year; fibers, 24 million dollars, against 21 million last year; and cotton 12 mil lion dollars, against 8 million in the corresponding period of last year.- Among the chief articles forming the class, manufactures for further use in manufacturing, are: tin In bars, blocks, etc., 21 million dollars in the 8 months of 1909-10, against 18 mil- lion in the same months of the pre- ceding year; chemicals, largely used in manufacturing, 61 million dollars, against 54 million last year; iron and steel manufactures, largely for furth er use In manufacturing, 25 million dollars, against 14 million last year; and wood and manufactures thereof, chiefly for use in manufacturing, 36 million dollars, against 29 million in the like period of last year. The most important of the articles entering the gTOup, manufactures ready for consumption are: cotton manufactures, 47 million dollars In the eight months of 1909-10, against 43 million in the corresponding period of last year; manufactures of fibers, 38 million dollars, against 32 million last year; leather and manufactures of leather, 12 million dollars, against 9 million last year; manufactures of silk, 23 Vt million dollars, against 22 million last year; and manufactures of wool, 16 Vz million dollars, against 12 million In the like period of 1908-9.

As related by the Lyons News: What might have been a serious accident to the water wagon happened early yester day morning. The driver was making his regular drive around the square when suddenly the heavy spray of water at the rear of the wagon was taken unawares by the sudden cold snap and froze into a solid mass of ice. effectual ly freezing the wagon to terra firma. The sudden halt was an awful shock to the good old team. By the kindness and pushing qualities of some of our autos and Lyons boosters, the mass ol Ice was broken away from the ground and the wagon proceeded on its way. The weather man came to our office after the cold spell this week, sat down and gazed dreamily out over the frag rant, waving mead for a moment and remarked: "Well, I told you the cold dry weather was not over when I was last here. People who planted beans, melons and their winter overcoats were unwise. It is well not to be lulled Into a false security by a few balmy days, As a rule as soon as people begin to smell the trash heap burning m the hack yard they begin to make garden and set the seal brown hen with the pompadour comb. It is just as well to wait awhile. I had a very narrow es cape the other night while viewing the comet to see if it was still in a good slate of preservation after being gone so long. I had climbed to the roof of my palatial residence and was gazing thoughtfully Into my telescope when my feet slipped and I wen sliding down the roof like greased lightning. I caught on the guttering and held on until my family rescued me with great difficulty. I then backed into the house and that concluded my scientific re search for the evening." The weather man then laughed so loud that he awoke our office boy who was taking his afternoon nap, and was gone. Leaven worth Labor Chronicle. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.

As an old woman she must not listen to the joys and sorrows of the young nor worry her mind in giving them comfort, aid, advice and sympathy: No, indeed! Starting from her earliest girlhood she must be placid. That is, she must shun shock of great joys and avoid her share of the world's sorrows. She must live each day in and for herself alone. Her one thought must be to keep her mind as placid as castor oil and her heart as cool as a rutabaga. And thus will a wrinkleless face be achieved. And, having lived a loveless, useless, aimless, friendless, childless, husband- less (for the man to whom she was wed would never have been a husband.) wrinkleless life, she would be ready to be laid away,' unmourned and un missed. And as the friends of the rest of the family filed by, the best they could say would be "llow calm she looks." Girls, if you are going in for the wrinkleless life, remember that your great exemplars will be the oyster and the cabbage. Wichita Beacon. RATHER REMARKABLE. It seems remarkable that in Kansas only 42 per cent of the school children are in the rural schools. Kansas owes her great wealth and prosperity very largely to her farms and it was gener ally supposed that by far the greatest proportion of her population dwelt In the country. It may be that the present census will have some sur prises in store for us and will show a pronounced movement from the farms to the towns. So far as we can see in Lawrence, the farmers who move to town are the ones who have made a success In the country, have educated their children in the country schools and have moved to town to get. away from the chores and work of the farm. Lawrence Journal. I FROM OTHER PENS A TASK FOR THE COLONEL. The Australian commonwealths have set their faces firmly against invasion of their territory by yellow immigrants. They propose to establish a strictly European power on the flank of the Asian Continent. In carrying forward this ambitious project, however, they have encountered one very unexpected and serious obstacle. Their census tables indicate such a decline in the Australian birth rate as to show no increase of the native-born population. Without Immigration there would be no growth. The death rate balances the birth rate. As a means of remedy, government assistance is given to mar ried immigrants with children. Im migration is encouraged by the remis sion of steamship fares for such families. But this is a measure of help that does not go to the seat of the evil. There are great cultivable spaces of land with enticing opportunity for shepherds and farmers; there is in creasing commerce and world-wide de mand for the products of Australian fields and mines; but, alas! there is no correspondent human productivity: no suitable coming-on of children. Here, then, is a great opportunity for Roose velt. The Colonel should at once hie himself to Melbourne or Sidney and begin a campaign against race suicide. Philadelphia Record. OKLAHOMA FARM LOANS. Adverse newspaper criticisms have evoked from Governor Haskell, of Ok lahoma, a spirited defense of that state's policy of making loans on farm mortgages, which he says has been in successful operation for two years and nas iven tne utmost satisfaction. Loans never exceeding half the value of improved farm lands, exclusive of improvements, are made to those who depend upon their farm products for family support. They average less than $1,000 each, and there is a maxi mum limit of $2,500. The state has thus far loaned more than $3,000,000. and tne aggregate Interest payments in default at any time have never amounted to $2,000. Private money lenders are not all enthusiastic about the scheme, which has reduced the general interest rate on farm mort gages from 8 per cent, to 6. At the same time the state receives at least 1 per cent more than It could obtain on good bonds. Boston Globe. NEW ROAD TO DISCOVERY. The destruction of the buildings on the aviation field at Chalons was a hard blow to the French aeroplane men. But the windstorm would have done as much Injury to any group of buildings as fragile as those used by the airship experimenters. The loss was an accidental one. and not one to which aeroplanlng is inherently liable. On the other hand, the deaths of several aeroplane men while mak ing flights this year have told their own story as to the inherent dangers of flying in the machines at present constructed. Dr. Siegert's plan for an exploration of the Desert of Sahara by an aero plane assisted by automobiles is proof, however, that the aeroplane Is more than a toy. It offers a new road to discovery. It will have to be perfected and its range of action Increased; but traveling through the air will unlock many mysteries of geography. Land travel is possible, theoretically, almost everywhere in the world: but the ex penses of expeditions often make them impracticable. The cost of this Sahara expedition is estimated at $160,000, which is remarkably small considering what is aimed at.

That Judge Griscomb was wealthy and did not care for society every body knew; that his daughter Mabel was handsome and accomplished and a social favorite was also a fixed fact It was observed, over and over again. that she was not a bit like her father. He regarded the society dawdler as a cumberer on the earth; she had a dozen of them fluttering around her. "Mabel, he would say as they sat down in the library In the evening. now and then, for a companionable lit tle talk, "what do you find solid in so ciety? "The setting home as soon after mid night as I can." she laughingly re plied. "You have many young men calling here "Ten or a dozen." "And the society papers are hinting about this and that admirer?" "In every number." "You are 20 years old. You are hand tome tnd educated; and they know my bank account to a dollar. I some times encounter one of your admirers and callers. 'Poor old daddie! But what must be your feelings when you do!" "Marriage will come, Mabel, and the eon-tin-law will come. 1 ve wondered What he would be like. I've wondered if a girl who took after her hard-head ed old father could find a man among these pink-tea dawdlers. "It's the foolish women that make the silly men. If they looked for men instead of butterflies then men could be found. The women of society do not ask If a man has done great things in finance, science, art, invention or what not. The question is: can he talk to entertaan and amuse? "And what are you going to do?' asked the father in a dubious tone. "Now, daddie, don't you worry one little bit. iou shall see the man and have a chance to judge htm before ha becomes your son-in-law." It was said of Philip Barton that he was a society butterfly. He was born with a gold poon in his mouth. He had time to kill. He had never made a dollar for himself, but when he pick ed up a fallen fan and presented it to a lady a score of persons held their breath at the grace of it. He was Just a rich young man just a dawdler- just a butterfly! He wa- one of those who danced and dangled about Miss Griscomb. He was one of the dozen who admired. He talked vapidity and thought she was interested; he flatter ed, and thought she was pleased. He started to propose marriage, and she gave him such a look as not only to check him, but to set him to thinking very seriously. 'Way back, among Mr. Barton's an cestors, there had beer, a hard-headed man shoemaker, blacksmith, banker or what. From him there had drifted down something worth preserving. Society had insisted on the young man being a dawdler and a butterfly. He admired Miss Griscomb in a society way. For -;ocal reasons he felt it a sort of duty to fall in love with her and ask her for her hand. When he was ready to put his ideas Into words he got a surprise. She was in society, but not of It. It came to him as he locked into her eyes that she would never give her heart to a man like him. If any one of his friends had said to another that he took this matter seriously to heart, there would have been smiles and laughter. From that far back ancestor came the leaven, and Mr. Philip Barton saw things and thought of things and did things. It was said that he had gone to Europe. One spring day a farmer up In Con necticut was looking over his gate and looking up and down tne road, It was corn p'anting time, and he was without help. Afar off he saw a man slowly walking toward him. He was poorly dressed and seemed strange to country ways. "Do you know of any one who wants to hire a man?" he asked, as he reached the gate. The farmor, in a dubious manner, looked him ever. "I need some help myself," he sa;d cautiously,"but I want to get a steady worker." "I'm ready for work if you'll show me how." was the reply. "Hain't used to it, eh? You don't look up to much, but most anybody can plant corn. Five kernels to a hill, and cover 'em up well. Hope you ain't a gambler or anything of that kind, and that the police won't be after you." He was assured on that point, and within an hour the stranger was working In the cornfield beside the farmer. He chopped his feet with the hoe several times, but soon got the hang of It. and at noon, when he sat down to the table with the farmer and his wife he felt that he had made 8 Both the farmer and his wife were curious about him. but they learned little. They came to the decision that he was no tramp, and that neither was he a horse-thief. When corn planting was over, Barnes, as the stranger called himself, was taken on as a hired man. He learned to split wood, milk cows, hold the plow and do other farm work. His back ached and he got -ver it. His hands blis tered and became calloused. And the farmer said of him: "Never had a hired man who asked so many questions. He wants to know all about everything. Shouldn't wonder if he'd make a pretty good farmer in time. Mebbe he used to be what thev cal! a confidence man, but I'm not holdin' it up agin him. He's seen the error of his ways." And when August came Judge Gris comb and his daughter went up to the Falls house for a month, as they had done for five or six seasons. Newport and its stupidities for July the Falls house and quiet and rest tor August. "Well. Barnes." said the farmer to the hired man one day, "the Falls folks are Just itchln' for some sweet green corn. I ve Deen down in tne field, and I guess we can pick about six dozen ears. You may hitch up the old mare In the mornln and drive over there with 'em. Tell em more will be ready :n about four days." Miss Mabel Griscomb sat on a bench under the shade of a tree at the corn-ir of the Falls house. She looked -up from the book tha was not interesting her much to see a horse and wagon coming and aiming to drive around to the rear of the house. The driver had on a straw hat, was without a coat, and had a four or five days' growth of beard. She glanced at him and gave a start of surprise. He glanced at her and his sunburned face took on a deeper color. No nod of recognition no word. He drove out of the grounds by another way. Four days later Miss Griscomb was wandering along the main high way, stopping to cull a flower here and watch a squirrel there, when the same wagon and driver appeared. More green wrn for the hotel. She stood aside ss the vehicle came up and bowed to the man with the lines. He lifted his hat, but did not halt. Oh, yes, she was sure of his Identity, and he of hers. Every three or four days during the month he appeared. He brought green corn, new potatoes, squashes, onions, radishes and other good things to eat. Always there was .a nod, but no word between the two. The Judge and his daughter re turned to the city at the end of the month, and society came to life. It asked after Philip Barton, but no one replied. September and October came and went, and one evening the father and daughter sat down for one of their talks. "Father," said Mabel after a bit, "Philip Barton is to call here tomor row afternoon. He is finished with his farm work for the season. He has no longer the wings of a society but terfly but the sunburn and callousness of the man who has earned his living. What shall I answer him?" "I guess he's the son-in-law I've had in mind," was the reply as he bent over to kiss her (Copyrighted 1910 by the Associated Literary Press.) Beards In the Navy.

Mr. Chllders submitted the matter to the queen, who took her usual common sense view of the affair. Her own personal feelings she wrote, would be for the beards without the mustaches, as the latter have rather a soldierlike appearance, but then the object in view would not' be obtained, to prevent the necessity of shaving. Therefore, it had better be as proposed the entire -bf ard, only it should be kept short and very clean. On no account should mustaches be allowed without beards;- that must be clearly understood.

At the end of each ribbon a little May basket was fastened and filled with flowers of a corresponding color. At each place was a Japanese cap and apron, the use of which Mrs. Spencer explained. by telling the girls that the fashion for domestic science would make it necessary for them to prove their ability; so they were asked to read the instructions on the reverse side of their name cards. Two of the girls found the line "Serve the first course." Donning their new aprons and caps, they went to the kitchen and pro ceeded with the serving.

"Well, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and Im provement se'. in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as possible and on Grape-Nuts.

The lady diagonally across the street from us has been in rather in different health since her last sum mer's vacation despite the fact that that vacation was two months spent at a beautiful mountain resort. My neighbor's vacations up to last summer have always taken the form of a month spent at a boarding house or small hotel somewhere in the country, but last summer she thought she would spread the same money over two months by having a cottage. She took a cottage just far enough from the town so that all her friends could and did run down for the week's ends. She had to leave her maid at home to look after the part of the famliy that could not b moved, so that meant she had her own work to do at the cottage. Besides the family friends with their week-end visits, all of the four child ren had to have their respective friends visit them, of course. Only five days of the two months, my neighbor has since reckoned, was the menage entirely free from company of some sort. And not that if you count great aunt Susan, whom they carefully avoided inviting, because she is a good deal of care, owing to the fact that she is deaf and sometimes has. fits, but who cheerfully descended upon them for a month, assuring them that she was sure they wouldn't mind because she'd be glad to pay good board. The lack of running water and of the gas range my friend depends upon so much at home added to the joys of tho situation. And so, ns I said at the beginning, the lady diagonally across the street from us has been in rather poor health ever since her last summer's vacation, despite the fact that that vacation was two months spent at a beautiful mountain resort. I am tempted to stop here and leave the point to sink in without any as sistance on my part, but I suppose that wouldn't be quite according to Hoyle. Any woman who has the cares of a house through the rest of the year owes it to herself to take some kind of a vacation which will be a complete rest from the routine of housework. And the mere removal of the scene of her activities to a summer cottage certainly doesn't give that kind of a vacation. There aren't always all of the atten dant circumstances I have described in my diagonal neighbor's case, but anyone who has had any experience along this line knows that a good many of them are mighty apt to be present. Amonth or two spent In the coun try is a very desirable thing for all the fa'milv. but" I think that month should be spent at a boarding house or hotel, giving the mother a chance to enjoy tt with the rest, or else she should have some separate vacation entirely free from all household cares. r'r.rm-c! r-ltv Market house is onen Wednesday and Saturday nights.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 4, 1910. DOCTORSJN TOWN Governor Stubbs Welcomes Phy sicians to Topeka. Kansas State Medical Society in Session Today. DK. J. W. MAY TALKS. Interesting Addresses Feature Opening Meeting. Chinese Blazed Way for New School of Medicine. Governor W. R. Stubbs opened the forty-fourth annual meeting of the "Kansas Medical society when he de livered this morning an address of welcome before about 100 members of the medical profession. His ad dress was announced by Dr. W. E. Mc .Vey, who introduced him as the "greatest governor of the greatest etate." "I am sure this convention is in the interests of the state at large," said uovernor Stubbs. "I do not know of any class of men where I think the standard of life should be higher as the men in the medical profession. A man should be clean morally, and a Christian in order to be a first class physician. If I were on the state board I'd take from a doctor the right to practice whose character was not rood. "The health of the state is a great factor In the development of mater ial things. I believe that a physician can exert a great influence for good. Tlis friendship with the people should tie used in a patriotic way. A physi cian should be willing to make great sacrifices. In respect to disease a doc tor shovld be fearless and frank with the public. "All diseases should be registered, especially tuberculosis, which should Te stamped out in every community. I'd like to see the physicians of Kan pas take advance ground on all the Important questions that will result in ftood to the state. I take great pleas ure in welcoming you to Topeka and T hope you will accomplish great good for the state and yourselves." "Glad to Be Here" May. A response made by Dr. J. W. May, editor of the "Medical Journal." Kan sas City, was optimistic. "I predict we will have onej of the best meetings of the society in this city," said Dr. May. "We are always glad to come to To peka. I am glad to say that if you ere as glad to have us here, as we are to be here, we will have a mighty good time." "The Public's Knowledge of the Med ical Profession," was the subject of the address given by O. J. Furst. of Pea body, president of the organization. Dr. Furst ciuoted from a newspaper editorial published last June as given below in j-art: 'There are certain indications that piedical science is in process of unique evolution and that physicians of the future will occupy a distinctly different relation to their clients from that of the present. 'We now have the great scheme of preventive medicine which seeks to fore stall illness rather than wait until it 1s developed, before applying the reme dy. For generations people went to their doctors only after all other ex pedients failed. China Showed Western World. 'We are in debt to gloomy old China for the new view of medicine.

Washington, May 1. Administration senators declared today there would be no weakening in their fight with the in surgent Republicans. They claimed they would win and save a large part of the administration legislative program. This announcement was made at the conclusion of a long conference in which It is said 43 Republican senators were represented. They met in Senator Aid rich's room to consider whether the dis mantling of the railroad bill meant that the whole administration program had "gone to pot'' or whether there was a chance to save something out of the wreckage. When President Taft returns to Washington he will be told that 43 Re publicans of the senate will pledge themselves to carry out his -program and he will be asked to use the club if necessary to bring four more Republi cans inr.o line. The administration lead ers believe, however, they can get some Democratic support for most of the Taft bills. At the conference today the politi cal situation was fully considered. All of the senators present agreed if the party measures failed they would have nothing except a "long, empty session of congress" on which to go before the country next fall. The party leaders say this picture "sober ed" some Republicans, who have wav ered on many of the party measures. The present plans call for the strik ing out of the sections of the railroad bill under which provision would have been made for the financial operations of railroads and to pass the measure with the commerce court feature and other sections against which no se rious objections had been raised. TO ARREST SOAP WOMAN Assistant County Attorney Has Mary Doe Warrant Issued. Assistant County Attorney Atchison last night swore to a complaint against Mary Doe, charging her with com plicity in the incubator baby kidnaping and judge E. R. Simon of the city court issued a warrant for her arrest. She is being sought at Holton and her arrest is expected hourly. This action was taken p.t the request of County Attorney Schenck. who learned that the woman was in Holton, where the case is being tried. The woman is known as the "soap woman," and laid the plans and gave the signal, it is al leged, for the; kidnaping. Beyond the fact that the woman was seen in Hol ton last night little is known of the case here. The "soap woman" is the woman who visited the Bleakley home daily for several days before the kidnaping selling and delivering a new kind of soap. On the day of the kidnaping it is alleged that she entered the house to talk with -he people Inside about the soap, it was supposed, but later developments are alleged to have shown that she was a party to the kidnaping. She saw the baby in the house and gave a shrill whistie which brought Gemry through the screen door. The seizing of the baby and as sault upon Beilknap followed. In this excitement the woman made her way out of the house and left the neighbor hood. Topek-i officers have made dozens of tri;s after this woman since the kidnaping but failed each time to get her.

CAN NOT SEE Relatives of Floyd Carter Ienicd Ac cess to Cell. It is likely that Governor Stubbs will be appealed to by the relatives of Floyd Carter who insist on being allowed to see him. Undersheriff Bavless. who is in charge at the county jail, denies all per sons the right to see Carter, and his rela tives are included. 1 his is done because the officials have proof that Carter's relaties carried out notes for him during nls previous imprisonment. This morning Carter's mother, having previously been refused the privilege of talkins witli the cayenne nenner hero appealed to Sheriff Norton. Norton left the matter with Bay less but urged that he allow Mrs. Carter to see the Jail breaker. Bayless remained firm and said that Mrs. Carter did without seeing her son for seven months without trouble, that she was with him last week, that he was well and that was enough. She could not sec him. Later a girl was sent in to intercede for the Carters but Bayless still remained obdurate and Carter has not yet seen his relatives who were used, it is believed, to assist in laying the plot to escape which resulted in nearly killing of Jailer Bayless last summer and the escape of three men from the jail. Tuesday Carter's mother and sister en tered the jail office loaded down with oranges, writing paper, stamps, food and they were denied admittance. They ob jected to this. Bayless made it quite plain that they could not see Carter. Then they said they would leave the food ajid stationery but Bayless informed them, that it would not be given to Carter. This, he said. Carter deserved as a punishment because he had, while being granted priivlegcs planned to kill Bayless and at tempted his murder before escaping from jail. Bayless says he has plenty of proof that Carter's sister carried notes out of the jail. He does not know whether or not she exchanged anything more than notes with those outside or had anything to do with sending other stuff into the jail. But by means of a broom stick wrapped in wire notes were passed through the jail corridor to where she stood on the outside and it is believed arrangements were thus made for food supplies which started the runaways on their journey after they escaped. Bayless say that Carter deserves close confinement and he is going to get it. "While I am in charge here no one can see Carter." said Bayless today. "If I have to let them see him I don't want the job any longer. I tried to be good to Carter once and he tried to kill me for it. I'll not abuse him now, but he doesn't get anv privilege here. At the time of the attaeR and jail break Carter was enjoying more liberty than anyone in the second cell house because of Bavless' tender heart. He was ill and was left out of his cage in order that he might better take care of himself. It was he who brought the buckets to the door and threw the first handful of pepper into Bayless' face. He had arranged with Thompson and steen to leave tne ceil door ODen wide enough that the bolt from the lock would shoot into place but the door would remain open. It was his duty as cell house trusty, to see that that these inside doors were locked and he reported that they were. CHINESE LENIENCY. Rioters Are Imprisoned for Life In stead of Being Executed. Chang Sha, China, May 4. The re cent rioting in this province has placed the Chinese government in an em barrassing position regarding the pro posed Hankow-Canton railway loan. Evidence accumulated that the dis turbances were deliberately planned by Influential persons as a warning to the central authorities not to meddle In the affairs of Hunan crovince and to make plain the determined oppo sition of the Hunanites to foreign par ticipation in the railway construction. Millions of Chinese are imbued with the idea that the government is yield ing weakly to foreign influence which is seeking political control in China. Pekin realizes the situation and. while desiring to proceed with the railway agreement, understands that hasty ac tion by the government might be fol lowed by the most serious conse quences. A protracted delay appears Inevitable. Meantime the central authorities are making efforts to placate the Hunan ites and have ordered the new gover nor to deal leniently with the rice riot ers and also with the revolutionists who recently attempted the bomb out rage against the recent. The would be assassins have not been put to death, but have been sentenced to life imprisonment. Marriages Licenses. LeRoy L. Stewart, aged 21, Topeka; Gertrude Teeters, aged 20. Topeka.

HALF THE SEATS BOUGHT Former Senator Mason's Opinion of the U. S. Senate. Chicago, May 4. "I believe .50 per cent of the seats in the United States senate can be said practically to have been purchased." This statement "was made here to day by former United States Senator William E. Mason, in the course of an interview in which he urged the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. A morning paper quotes Senator Mason as saying that he had heard at Springfield be fore the election of Mr. Lorimer that the honor was for sale and that the senatorial toga would go to the high est bidder. Mr. Mason, however, to day denied that he had made any such allegation. Mr. Mason was; a candidate, but withdrew .his name before the last vote when Mr. Lorimer was chosen. At his office today States Attorney Wayman said he expected lo state representatives and senators would appear before tho grand jury. The first witnesses today were Rep resentative Charles A. White, who al leges that he accepted $1,000 to cast his vote for Lorimer; Senator Albert E. Isley, of Newton, who made the first speech in' the legislature denouncing Lorimer as a candidate, and Repre sentative Henry A. Shephard, of Jer seyville. Representative Thomas Tip pet of Olney was present in the state's attorney's office. Tippet was a candi date for the minority leadership against Lee O'Neil Browne, who is alleged by Representative White to have dis bursed the so-called "Lorimer slush fund." The three legislators, all of whom are Democrats, said they were present in answer to telegrams from the state's attorney. Tippet and Shephard voted for Lorimer. but Isley held out for the Democratic candidate. Shep hard is one of those alleged by While to have been at the Southern hotel. St. Louis, when the "jack pot" composed of miscellaneous bribes was distributed. Mr. Isley said he -.would testify as to common gossip at Springfield that Democratic votes were being sought with money In behalf of the Lorimer candidacy. TO BE A WARSHIP. The Venus Will Be 3Iade Over Into a Fighting Vessel. Washington, May 4. It was said to day the steamer Venus, which cleared from New Orleans on Saturday night, supposedly laden with munitions of war for the Madriz army in Nicaragua, sailed under sealed orders to put in at Port Belize, British Honduras, where there is no cable, and change her peaceful dress of a merchantman for the war paint of a fighting ship. Backed with what they believe 's evidence of such a plan, the repre sentatives of the Estrada faction in Washington are preparing to make their representations to the United States and ask to have warships off the Nicaraguan coast watch the vessel. Senor Castrillo, Estrada's representa tive, will ask to have the ship seized if she puts out from Port Belize for ac tion, mounted with the guns, which lay in packing cases in her hold, when she cleared from New Orleans. The Estrada representatives and the diplomats of those Central American republics, which are friendly to the revolutionist cause, backed by a crew of lawyers keen on- international lav, are watching every move, seeking the slightest pretext upon which the United States could be called upon to inter vene.

SCHENCK FIGHTS ALONE. County Attorney Faces 20 I-awyers in Incubator Baby Case. Holton, May 4. Topeka was crit icised by the Shawnee county court because Marian Bleakley post cards were sold in the stores. It was claim ed by Judge Dana that the sale of these post cards and the newspapers created sentiment in Topeka and Shawnee county against the trial of tho kidnapping case. In Holton the Marian Bleakley post cards' are for sale in the stores. In one drug store a large display window is filled with post cards with the pic ture of the baby on them. A large sign naming the cards is painted aorosn the front -of the window. It is said that there is a ready sale for the cards. All Are Satisfied. Now that the trial has been called in the Jackson county court, the at torneys for both the state and defense are well satisfied with the treatment they are receiving. Judge Rains of the" district court of Jackson county is one of the best known and popular judges in this part of the state and the attorneys for both sides speak highly of his abrlity and his fairness. Bis; Amy Against Schenck. County Attorney Schenck. of Topeka. Usls a strong array of talent to fight in this 'incubator baby case." In the case against Tillotson, Schenck has eight at torneys to combat; four lawyers from Kansas City, three from Holton and one from Topeka represent Captain Frank H. Tillotson. Tillotson has Ed ward C. Wright. Louis T. Davison, Clinton A. Welsh and Harry Friedberg of Kansas City. Care Woodburn Brothers of Holton and D. C. Tillotson of Topeka. In all County Attorney Schenck has about 20 attorneys to beat. Schenck is supported by his asistants. w linain E. Atchison and Arthur J. Bolinger. Schenck- has just arisen from a sick bed in Topeka and is not in pnysicai condition to meet such a defense. "They are going to know I am on earth." was all he would say concern ing opposing attorneys. John H. Atwood. the brilliant Kan sas City lawyer and orator, who was scheduled for this case, could not come to Holton. His work with the Hyde case in Kansas City kept him in that city. Mr. Afvood has figured promi nently in the kidnaping case and was originally secured as attorney for Mrs. Barclav.' It la not thought, however, that the charges against Mrs. Barclay will come up for trial this term. Despite the fact that there is no fear of the kidnax-ing of s:ny of the able bodied men on the defense, Holton is full of detectives from Kansas City to day. These sleuths are watching every movement of every participant in the trial. Holton never felt so guilty as she does todav with the town swarm ed with detectives and criminal law yers.

One of the Government's" Witnesses Is III. New York, May 4. The illness of one of its chief witnesses may serious ly hamper the government on its pros ecution of Charles R. Heike, secretary of the American Sugar Refining com pany, whose trial on .sugar under weighing conspiracy charges is set for May 10. The supreme court in Washington on Monday threw out Heike's immunity plea and the long delayed trial was expected to be be gun next week. Today, however there was mani fest anxiety on the part of the prose cuting officials over reports f the condition of Richard Parr, the cus toms official who discovered the fraudulent device by which the gov ernment was deprived of duties on sugar imports and whose testimony was expected to play an important part in the trial of Heike and other men indicted with him in this con nection. Parr is threatened with ap pendicitis and an operation may be necessary. Tha prosecution, at the least, will be considerably hampered, if Parr ic unable to appear, although it is said that since the trial of the last sugar underweighing cases new evidence of an important nature has been discov ered. Parr has played a prominent part in the trials previously held. Xew Charters Granted.

Do You oil I was out to Elmhurst the other day. I was pleased to see the graded streets, the fine homes, the electric and telephone wiring. Elmhurst is a rival to Potwin. No comparison can rightfully be made between Elmhurst and any other addition. P. I. BONEBRAKE. Elmhurst is one of the most beautiful additions to Topeka. Right in the direction of the citv's growth. Will it increase in value? Can't help it. Sure to! JOHN R. MULVANE, Pres. Bank of Topeka. I have just this much faith in Elmhurst that I bought lots there. First, I bought two, then later I bought two more. If Burge continues to sell lots in the west twenty acres of Elmhurst as he did the east forty they afford a splendid investment. W. H. EASTMAN, Sec'y Capitol Bldg. Loan Ass'n. Elmhurst is one of the choice spots of Topeka. It is surely a good investment to buy lots in Elmhurst. Elmhurst will be a second Potwin as soon as trees grow. I am too old a man however, to wait for trees to grow, but the young man can well afford to. COL. JOHN F. CARTER, Pres. Aetna Bldg. and Loan Association. An opportunity to build a comfortable home in the last of Topeka 's beautiful additions is offered in Elmhurst. A chance to invest money in a sane, substantial proposition with even- favorable chance to realize a good profit in a short time is offered in Elmhurst.

Flaces Blame at Door of Administration. Quotes Figures on Maintenance of State Institutions. Newton. May 4 Ex-Governor W. K. Ptar. ley delivered an address to a largo au'l;pno" here last night. In opening his speech. Governor Stan ley tourhed briefly on national Issues, referring particularly to the tariff question. "In the campaign two years spo the Republican party pledged a re vision of the tariff." he said. "That j 'ede has been kept. The tariff has t,Pen revised and it has been revised downward. The new tariff law is Re publican through and through, con structed along lines that will make for continuance of the marvellous pros perity which has blessed the entire na tion for A decade past and has particularly- blessed the agricultural state of which we are citizens. It has been the constant effort of the Republican party In its tariff policy to benefit the larm r tne producers. There has been n rhar.jfe in th;U policy, and the admin istration of the new tariff law is dai'y demonstrating that It is built along tht r',1 Republican lines of protection that have brought us so much prosperity 'n the past." But Governor Stanley's remarks on the tariff Question were brief and he quickly switched to a hammer an! tongs discussion of state issues with Revision of Taxes Downward" as his txt. He said: Criticises Governor Stnbte' Record. We have been hearing much of the great reforms advocated by Governor Stubbs. We have even been given to understand that he was the pioneer in advocating these reforms. I want co refresh your memories a bit by refer ence to the history recent history of the state. In 1S99. just after Kansas had been redeemed from Populism and the Republican party had been return el to control of the state government, the governor recommended in his mes sage to the legislature the enactment of several reform laws. Among them a law for the parole of convicts from penal institutions, a law providing for civil service in state institutions, a law providing for the care of dependent and reelected children, something on the lire of our present Juvenile court law-; law providing for the payment to the st:ite of interest on public funds in harmony with the present state deposi tary law: and strict economy in the administration of state affairs. "In 1901 the governor, in his message, recommended the enactment of a civil service law, law requiring that tuition l"e paid by nonresidents at state educa tional institutions, a law placing all state educational institutions under the management of one board, a parole law, the election of railroad commis sioners by direct vote, interests on the public funds, and the abolition of the waste and extravagance in the state printing "In 1303. the governor. W. J. Bailey, in his message, recommended laws pro viding for the return of the Oklahoma prisoners, interest on the public fund., called attention to the state printing and asked for rigid economy in public expenditures. "In 1905 'lovernov Hoch recom mended a primary election law, em phasized prohibition and law enforce ment, a state depository law, one board to manage all the stat xiumtinngi Institutions, civil service, state owner-.! vi me printing plant, Juvenile court law. "In 1907 he recommended a pri marv election law. emphasized prohi bition, and .isked that all state insti tutions be placed under one board. "In 190S n the special session he spoke only of primary elections, law enforcement and a depositors' guar anty law." Governor Stanlex then stated that the only reforms accomplished since the Republican party returned to pow er in the state are as follows: Civil service In the state institutions, parole law, juvenile court law, state deposi tory law, tuition at state institutions, state printing reform, return of Okla homa prisoners, primary election iaw and better enforcement of the prohibi tory laws. "From these facts," he said, "it is readily to be seen that Gov ernor Stubbs is, not tlone entitled to credit for tfct- reform accomplished but that the seed was sown by the governors who preceded him in the ex ecutive office and that most of the re form laws were enacted before he was called to the governor's chair." Increase of Taxes. Governor Stanley then took up the increase in taxes, driving his points home with figures quoted from state records. He took up the appropria tions for the execufve department showing that in 1900 rhey were $14, 000. in 1910 $23,000 For the ad jutant general's department, the ap propriations in 1J00 were $i3.45ft- .In 1910 thev were $71,190. In taking rj the increased expenses of the bank commissioner and the penitentiary. Governor Stanley explain- ed that these two departments had always been considered political and that they were usually used to pay political debts. "In 1900." he said "with five em ployes the appropriations for the bank commissioner'": office were $11,456. In 1310. with 14 employes, the appropria tion is $34,500. In that period there has been an increase of 50 per cent in the number rf banks under state su pervision and an incr'ase of 200 per cent in the expense of the department. "At the penitentiary for 1900, with 1.300 convicts, the appropriations were 1151.251: in 1910. with ST" convicts, the appropriit'ons are J19S.000. A de crease of one-third in the number of convicts and -n increase of 20 per cent in the cost. In other words, the per capita cost pr convict In 1900 was $116. In 1910 it is $225. an increase of more than a hundred per cent. There Ls another thing, too. Of the increase of $4 1,749 in the cost of main tenance, with one-third less convicts, $39. 670 goes t" increased salaries. In 1900. 1.300 convicts and 98 employes. Those employes drew in salaries $64. 000. In 1910. 877 convicts and 92 em ployes. Tho 92 employes draw in salaries S3. 000. "In 199 t'ATe wer- 852 inmates in the Topeka hospital and the main tenance appropriations were $95,000. In 1909. the number -f inmates 1.121 and the maintenance appropriations $120,000. In 1900 the salaries were $5,000: in 1910 they were $60,000. So it costs $35,000 more for salaries and only $25,000 more for the main tenance of the wards of the state. "At Osawtiomie there are less in mates, or were in 190S. than there were ten yearn before, but the appro priations had crept from $161,000 to $1SS.000. Thirtv-three per cent of this increase i for salaries and 8 per cent for maintenance. The high cost of living appTes only to the employes, apparently, aid not to the unfortunate inmates. "In 1S99 the total number of em ployes in the state service. Including everyone that drew pay rrom tne state, was 1.02S nd thev drew annualy in salaries $676 &QQ.76. In 1910 there are 1.S71 neop'e on the state payrolls and thev draw in salaries $1,518,088." PRIZE BULL DEAD. TALK TOFARMERS President Taft Addresses Con vention of Agriculturists On Subject of Conservation of Natural Resources. A WATERWAYS BILL Should Not Be Made a Port Barrel, He Says, Or a Means to Re-Elect Con :"7gresstnen to Office. 1 St. Louis, Mo., May 4. Addressing a Joint meeting of the Farmers' union and the people of St. Louis today. President Taft devoted himself to a technical discussion of the subject of conservation. He declared the term covered a wide range of subjects. "But as concerns change at this time," he added, "conservation re solves itself into the necessity of pass ing at once the bill which will give to the executive unquestioned authority to withdraw lands for power sites and other purposes. With this power in the hands of the president of the United States we can sit comfortably by and discuss and devise the best means of disposing of the great public domain to the benefit of present and future generations." Governor Hadley Introduced the president .t the Farmers' convention and declared the greater movement of conservation had no more "earnest, sincere and effective friend than President Taft." The president called out laughter and applause from the agriculturists by announcing that he probably was the only man In public iife in the country who would admit he had never had any farming experience. Mr. Taft said there were few people who had definite views as to just what conservation really means. The first great subject of conservation, he de clared, had to do with human life. In this connection he again urged the es- TO HOLD FREE BAKING SCHOOL Mrs. Xevada Briggs to Lecture on Practical Bakins at Y. W. C. A. Rooms. tab-lishment of a national bureau of health. Fight Against Disease. The president spoke of the great strides being made in the Sght against consumption and cancer arid took the position that the government might well furnish money to provide the means of combating disease and bringing about' the "mastery of the in tellect over natural foes." Speaking of the conservation of the water supply and the improvement of rivers and harbors. President Taft stated anew his position that projects provided for in the river and harbor bill must prove their feasibility and practicability. His statement in this respect was especially interesting in viw of the re cent reports that he contemplates a veto of the bill that is to pass the present congress. "Any waterway improvement which is found worthy,' said the president, "should be put through as economically and quickly as possible But a water way bill ought not ttPetmstftute" a pork barrel or be passe for the purpose of sending somebody back to congress. "It should be devoted to putting through great enterprises to making the waterways useful and effective in reducing rates of transportation." Will "ot Join Boycott. It was reported today an attempt would be made to hand President Taft a labor petition not to attend the Cleveland-St. Louis ball game this afternoon because the Cleveland park was built by nonunion men. Up to luncheon time, however, the paper had not reached Mr. Taft. As he does not approve of the boycott, he an nounced that such a petition would not deter him The president at the conclusion of the breakfast given in his honor spoke brief!;. He referred to the fact that th commercial club of St. Louis had visited Panama some years ago and had warmly endorsed the canal project. He said he hoped the club would find an opportunity to go again. "It needs two trips," he said, "to the isthmus to understand what is being done there; to realize the enormous en terprise that is being carried on by the army engineers, without noise, without advertising and I am glad to say with out slander or scandal. "It is of inestimable benefit to have men in charge of work like this in whom the people have absolute faith. Slanderers, blackmailers and makers of scandal are met by the high confidence the people have in the army engineers and their wares are no longer marketable." The possibility of a veto of the rail road bill as it will come from congress in en emasculated form, was suggested to President Taft here today. The president added he would go over the bill carefully and his future action would depend entirely on the shape in which the measure finally passes. He Ate Fish Preserved in Formalde jyuc and Died.

Will Attend the Y. tion. M. C. A. Con- Governor Stubbs left this afternoon for Chicago to attend a Y. M. C. A. convention in that citv. He will not return to Topeka until late Friday night. Upon his return he will take steps to open his campaign in earnest. The governor is the luckiest politi cian in seven states. As a result of his trip to Denver last week, where he went to speak Saturday and Sunday in the interest of prohibition in the big fight in that city to close the saloons. he has strengthened himself in Kan sas. The beer and whisky interests used a page ad in the Denver papers Sunday to show that the governor and his policies had been repudiated in his own state and they printed the Wag staff conference resolutions to prove their assertion;?. This was playing into Stubbs' political hand with a ven geance, for now his supporters can say that the beer and whisky interests and open town supporters of another state are using the anti-Stubb resolutions prepared by the Wagstaff leaders in order to discredit the governor's fight for prohibition and law and order. The governor's campaign managers regard the Denver newspaper fight and use of the Wasstaff resolutions as the finest stroke of the campaign up to this time. Of course the Wagstaff supporters had nothing to do with the Denver fight nor the use of the reso lutions in the Denver paper whisky ad. It was just another one of those lucky breaks that always break for the square deal governor. His supporters can carry the matter as far as they want to and make medicine all the way. The governor replied to the adver tisement in his last Denver speech, go ing into the details of his fight with the machine interests in Kansas and the steps that led up to the passage of the resolutions in question STORING CHOLERA CURE Plenty of Scram on Hand in Outbreak Among Hogs.

Everyone will want to see a flying ma chine in actual operation and immense crowds will without doubt be drawn to Topeka during the three days of flyinjr.

That a number of men have worked their way through Princeton by tutoring and that the total sum earned by them for one year was $14,000 wa made known yesterday in a reporc issued by the Princeton tutors' association. This is an oreanization of undergraduates. Tutors get frr.m $1 to $2 an hour and some of them have made $1S a day and cleared $1,000 a year. Speaking today of the manufacture of hog cholera serum at the State Agricultural college. Live Stock In spector Mercer, stated that the serum was being made and stored faster than it was called for at this time. The col lege authorities are going right ahead with the manufacture of the serum and will soon be in position to care for any rush of orders. The small number of calls for the serum at this time would indicate that hog cholera Is not so prevalent in the state now as it was a short time ago. The live stock inspector is absolute ly convinced of the fact that the use of this serum will cure cholera. But he is of the opinion that no private firm should be allowed to manufacture and sell the stuff without being under state or federal inspection. He says that he knows of instances where pri vate firms have sold the serum for commercial gain and the purchasers had not secured results. Mr. Mer cer is of the opinion that the serum thus sold could not have been the Si mon pure article, or it would have brought about a cure. STATE XOTES AX APPEAL. Attorney fieri era!

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1910. KEYNOTTSPEECH. Senator Hodges in Fine Form at Hutchinson. Candidate for Governor Makes Great Democratic Talk. WARNS HIS PARTY To Take No Part in Republican Quarrels. Should Win by Merit Rather Than FactioiTof Opponents. Hutchinson, Kan.. May 4. Th Demo crats opened their state campaign here last night with a banquet and keynote speech of Senator George Hodges, of Olathe, candidate for governor. All the counties of the Seventh congressional district were represented at the gath ering and a dozen members of the last legislature took part -in the meeting, as well as prominent speakers and can didates from this section of the state. There was a large attendance and the love feast was a nice success. W. K. Sapp of Galena. A. W. Taylor of Hutch inson, W. L. Brown of Kingman and State Chairman Henderson Martin of Marion were among the speakers. The addresj of Senator Hodges, which was the feature of tt.e meeting, was In part as follows: "The Republican party of Kansas has about 30,000 majority. It has two can didates for governor, one a very wealthy man, and the other is backed by a millionaire which is even better than being wealthy, for it's easier to frpend the other fellow's money than it Is to spend your own. "These two factions of the dominant party are bitterly assailing each other in language that could not be permitted In polite society. "If the Republicans of this state want to elect Mr. Wagstaff, or re-elect Mr. Stubbs. they have 30,000 votes more than la necestary to do so without Democrat ic help. The Democrat who contributes to the nomination of either of these frentlemen and still claims to be a Dem ocrat, violates the ethics of political honor. He should swear allegiance to the Republican party and then vote for its nominee at the polls, be he either Mr. Wagstaff or Governor Stubbs. If a Democrat votes for either of these men he should join thoir party and I believe he will thereby renounce the teachings of Jefferson, Bryan and our late lamented leader. W. A. Harris. Strong fn Defeat. "I have abiding fahh in our glorious party and In the sincerity of the Dem ocrats of Kansas, who have stood the Btorms of adversity year after year. "When defeat overwhelmed us we came back with smjling faces stronger in ad versity, for defeat makes men stronger. We have been going to the? polls for ages wixh the knowledge that we would be defeated; but we have maintained a party of men; men who are Demo crats by reason of belief; Democrats without the hope of reward, for time has proven there are r.o Democrats for revenue only in this state. Politicians for revenue; those who are lnsplredwith that end in view, find engaging com panionship in the majority party, where fidelity is rewarded and regularity Is the rule and guide to faith. That the position of the Democrats is right, is evidenced by the wonderful growth of our party in Kansas the past few years. "The people of this great nation are reaffirming their faith in us. The re cent election of Democratic congress men by overwhelming majorities in Re publican districts, is but the advancing current of an incoming tide that will sweep machine controlled districts of either political faith together with high protectionists into oblivion. The Dem ocrats and Republicans who have but a common, selfish end in view the gaining of predatory wealth com mingle in brotherly love. They are the common enemy of the people, and the rising the new Democracy of this na tion will stamp out the special interest privileges that permit a few to revel in Illicit wealth, depriving vast numbers of people of the necessities of life. "Mr. Taft broke faith with the Amer ican people. The state administration Is charged by its own party of broken pledges. William Allen White, the spokesman of the insurgency, recently declared he would vote for a standput Republican in preference to a square deal Democrat. How much confidence can be placed in the insurgent move ment when its principal advisor de clares he will support a man of his own party, even if he is dishonest. In preference to a Democrat of unques tioned integrity? r.rlclit Future. "A bright future is dawning upon Democracy. Let us be steadfast no.v as we have been loyal in the past. What is to gained by voting for a Re publican even if you believe he repre sents half what you believe, when you can vote for square lead Democrats who represent your entire ideals in politics? TVe have fought the battle too long to be swerved from the path of duty by tha sweet promises of the Republican party which seeks only to use you to advance the personal political ambi tions of IV leader. "The future of the Democratic party In this state Is fraught with subtlo danger. You are importuned to support the square deal side of a factional fight among a common and life-long political opponent, and at the moment of thf ir Importunities their principal leader tells you that as a party you are more unholy and less worthy of confidence than those of his own party whom he styles as the tools and hirelings of the trusts. "If the Democratic party of Kansas .Blu :j not loyal to its principles at this time its future is conjectural, and this at a time when the whole nation is turning to us for relief, recognizing that our principles of equity, honor, justice, are eternally right. "The factional quarrel among the Republicans is of no concern of ours and we have notning in common witn them. But we have the peculiar situ ation confronting us wherein a class of men subscribe to our faith, preach our doctrines, but despise our party name. Proper Credit for Reforms. "It is amusins to read of the prom ised reforms men make when running for state offices. The laws of Kansas are passed solely by the 165 members of the legislature, and the man pre sumes most intemperately who prom ises you What the legislature sha.i en act. The governor has the veto power only. Governor Stubbs says the leg islature passed the laws making the appropriations for state purposes. That is true, and I agree with him. It is a further fact that these same legisla tors passed the primary election law, the anti-pass law, the reduction of freight laws and all the other reform measures now upon the statute books, heretofore claimed as the individual efforts of a very few square dealers and no one else. "A false impression prevails through out the state concerning the passage of these square deal measures, and I am pleased to know that it Is now being corrected. There were 91 Republicans in that legislature and only 35 voted for the anti-pass law on the first test, while 29 Democrats voted for it. It is very pleasing to our party in this state to knew even at this late date that we had anv part in the enactment of square deal laws. We regret that the admission had to be wrung from the square dealers, but it is better that way than not at all. "It seems to me that it is far better for a candidate for governor to prom ise to use his best endeavors to en force the laws now on. the statute books than to promise the enactment of new ones. It is better to be honest with the voters of Kansas and not promise things impossible of accom plishment with catchy phrases and for the purpose of fooling the people. "I notice that nearly every Repub lican paper that has given the matter of the coming election in Kansas any publicity, stated that the Democrats were basing their hopes of victory on the factional fight in the dominant party. This variance in the majority party will contribute to Democratic success; yet our party would be un worthy of the confidence and support of the electors of Kansas If our can didates had nothing to recommend for public consideration and if they car ried no message to the Democrats by reason of the ouarreling and bicker ing among the Republicans. Tariff the Real Issue. "The tariff is the greatest political question. Tho candid men of both parties agree that a high tariff is the prolific mother of trusts, and of the unlawful commercial combinations that control the industrial pursuits of the nation. The Democrats are in fa vor of a tariff on luxuries and for rev enue only. If given the power we will place upon the free list those daily necessities that make up the burden of the cost of living. We will go be fore the people of Kansas with these declarations and ask their support. The Republican party is now unalter ably committed to a high protective policy and there is cheerless prospect of relief from that source. "We base our hope of victory on the general Information of the public, and not upon the blank-cartridge- sham-battle now so fiercely waging I between the square dealers and the Republicans. i "If our party had nothing to offer i the intelligent electors of Kansas, ex cept in this factional Republican dis content, then the Democratic party would be a distressing disappointment. We would be unworthy of the name of Democrats and. should not be en trusted with the" administration of state affairs." IT LETS HEARSTOUT. Court Holds Him Blameless In lire- works Catastrophe.

BROWN FOR CONGRESS Many Members Last Legislature Prominent at Meeting. Flannigan Still Making Hay in Sixth District. The feature of the Seventh district Democratic conference this week was the boom started for Lot Ravenscraft of Clark county, for lieutenant gover nor. Ravenscraft is an old time Pop ulist and was a Democratic member of the last legislature. He owns a big ranch in Clark county and a lot of western Kansas land besides. Governor Stubbs held him in high esteem as he selected him for a place on the state tax commission. Lot had to decline on ac count of his farming interests in the west. That old timer, Ironjawed Brown, of Kingman, was also a prominent figure at the Hutchinson conference and was mentioned as a candidate for congress in the Seventh district, but Brown would rather come to the legislative ressions at xopeka than. to go to Wash ington and ho ro expressed himself to his supporters. Fedar of Barton, Foley of Rico and Morgan of Hodgeman and Walker of Stafford were among the niember3 of the last legislature who took a promi nent part in the conference. Out in the Sixth district J. J. Flani gan of Decatur is still making hay in the congressional rate. In answer to certain questions put to the congres sional candidates Mr. Flanigan went on lecord es follows in an. interview in the Obevlin Horald: "He said he supported every good bill and opposed every bad bill intro duced in the last three sessions, he was for two cent fare and lower freight rate, he paid his railroad fare and was under no obligations, he stood for a good guarantee deposit law, he is for a primary election law with the secret ballot, and opposed to open declaration of party at the polls in the interest of the boss and humiliation of "the voter. He says our school books should be. printed by the state printing plant, at least possible cost to the purchaser. and says the Democratic legislature will drive the Book Trust out of Kan sas, he voted for the anti-lobby law that shuts the grafter out of the state house. He prepared, introduced and had passed several bills of value to hl3 county and town, among them one car rying an appropriation by the state of $1,500 for a memorial monument at Oberlin. He went before the state board of veterinary examiners, and asked that an old friend of thirty years' experience and a wide range of practice in veterinary work be given a permit which was refused, he proceeded without delay to draw a bill which de- troved the monopoly of the work and is of far reaching benefit. "The farmer feeds and clothes the world but is shabby and hungry him self, and will never receive the recog nition to which he is justlr entitled as long as he acknowledges that he is in capable of representing his own inter eft in congress and send a smart man of some other occupation to congress to represent his interests. The capi talist, the corporations an3 the profes sions are already represented in con gress. The Sixth district Democrats should elect a farmer to congress who will work for the best interests of the district, without reference to party. j "In conclusion, Mr. FlDnigan said: 'No, I was not drafted -y admiring friends to enter the race. Believing that my experience in the- last three sessions of the state legislature is of equal value in legislative work to a session in congress and all must agree that experience is necessary to obtain needed legislation and having- in mind several measures that would greatly benefit the people of the S'xth district, fully believing that the next congress will be Democratic and that legisla tion of importance must come from a majority party and not from a faction of either, I decided to become a can didate.' POOR EMORY OLSEN. Still in a Sanitarium and May Never Play Ball Again. Kansas Ctiy, May 4. One of the very best infiVlders in the American as sociation in 3 909 may never play ball again. This oun man is Emory Ol sen, second sacker for the Louisville champions last year und before that with Topeka. He was sold to the St. Louis Browns last fall. For the past three months Olsen has been confined to Dr. John Punton's sanitarium in this city suffering from a nervous dis order which may keep him out of the game for good Olsen was taken sick after he visit ed friends here last Vail and was sent from his home in southern Kansas to the local institution. Since he has been here he has been in n serious condition, it ic said, and it was stated yesterday that Olsen will positively not play this year and possibly not again. This a tig loss to the Browns. Olsen was a very promising player. Shou.d he recover from his present illnejs, he may never show his oldtime form, and, in fact, may. not make good i'im even in a fast minor league club. Should he fully recover, however, he will be a valuable man for any major league team. ON BILL WITH TAFT. Mrs. Klla G. Burton W ill Address Far mers at St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo., May 4.

A correspondence between the mother of the child and Mrs. Barclay followed and from the records it shows a most touching rela tionship between the two. The result of this correspondence was the relinquishing of all claims to the child by Charlotte Bleaklev and the adoption of the child bv deed, for mally executed by the mother and the iatner or Marian Bleakley. The deed was delivered to the exhibitor at the tair and the child given "to the Bar clays. AVants Child Back. Tha Barclays then moved to Moline, auu look tne child with them, w re tneY cared for It until May 26, j-yuo, wnen Mrs. Bleakley commenced habeas corpus proceeding in the cir cuit court of Rock Island county (Xcciuisi me .Barclays to recover pos session of the child making th fori. tention that the deed of adoption was void because it was not in conformity wiiu xne laws of the state of Missouri and further claiming that it was ob tained through fraud and duress. A trial in this court resulted In a judgment in favor of the mother for possession of the child. The child was then transferred from its foster par ents to its natural mother, Mrs. Bleakley, who left Illinois at once and the jurisdiction of the court she had inyoked and came to Lawrence, Kan. On September 5, 1905, the Barclays commenced proceedings in habeas corpus in Douglas county to repossess themselves of the child. This court held that the deed of adoption was valid and judgment was entered in favor of the Barclays for possession of little Marian Bleakley. Before such order could be execut ed, however. Mrs. Bleaklev fled the jurisdiction of the court. Proceedings in error were prosecuted from the judgment there rendered, to the su preme court of Kansas and the judg ment of the district court of Doug las county was reversed on the grounds that the judgment of the Il linois court was final, conclusive and binding. Reverses Circuit Court. Then the judgment in the Rock Is land circuit court in Illinois wan on for review in the court of appeals of that state. The court of appeals re versed the judgment of the circuit court of Rock Island county on the grounds that the adoption papers in Missouri were valid and binding. This order did not give the Bar clays possession of the child because Mrs. Bleakley had left Illinois and was in Kansas and the court had lost con trol over it. Thus Mr and Mrs. Bar clay rely on The decision of the court of appeals of the state of Illinois as a final adjudication of the validity of the deed. On thv contray Mrs. Bleakley and her mother, Mrs. Ora Thompson, rely on the decision of the courts of Kansas in thr!r favor. The above if gleaned from the court proceedings. There were many inter esting happenings that have made the -story famous all over the country. The flight of Mrs. Bleakley from Chautau qua county to the territory of Okla homa to escape the Barclays and the kidnapers. statements from both "mothers" of the child and -the fierce clashes of some of the best attorneys of the west hnve attracted interest to the case. Child Is Kidnaped. On August .-2. 1909, Marian Bleakley was kidnaped from the home of Mrs. Ora Thompson, 1229 Garfield avenue, by unknown parties. The baby was placed in an automobile near the St. Francis hospital and taken as far as Valley Falls rnlong abandoned roads and highways. Here the machine broke down. The baby and its kid napers were transferred to a Missouri Pacific train it Atchison and Mrs. Bar clay and Joseph N. Gentry were ar rested in Kansas City in possession of the child. The case was taken to Jackson county on a change ot venue because it was chraged that newspaper articles had prejudice 1 the minds of persons in this city who were likely to be chosen as jurors. Following is the list of persons who will be called as witnesses: A. J. Carruth. O. S. Perkins, S. J. Henry, E. A. Hallock. D. H. H. Keith, Ike Kingman, E. T.

WHEAT Against generaiy tine weainer today, excited and higher markets in Liverpool acted as a counterbalance" in the wheat pit here. An other influence tending to produce a see saw was the fact that traders generally were quite uncertain as to the showing soon to be made by the government fig ures on abandoned acreage. The opening was c lower to e higher, with the bulls making a show of buying, but a little wheat sold by pit traders broke the mar ket oft sharply. Crop damage reports from the Dakotas and Minnesota helped cause a recovery. September opened He lower to c higher at $1.02S-1.02. Rain in Nebraska and Kansas led to selling by some of the larger speculators, and forced a backset. The dip brought commission buying and the market tight ened up a little, closing' steady.

STO'CKS Early prices of Americans in London showed violent recoveries from the closing here yesterday and opening prices in New York showed .conclusive rebounds in sym pathy.

United States Steel 1 and the active list gen erally from a large fraction to a point. Profit taking sales held the market in check for a while, American Smelting los ing its rise of a point and other leaders a large fraction. Brisk buying then de veloped in the &rain carriers and the whole market moved up to above the opening figures. Trading became grad ually duller as prices advanced. Reading rose 2. Union Pacific 2,- St. Paul 2, Atchison 1. Rock Island and Amalga mated Copper 1 and Wabash preferred. Central Leather, Brooklyn Transit and American Cotton Oil 1. Westinghouse Electric lost 1. A violent decline in foreign exchange rates gave color to reports that large blocks of new railroad bonds had been sold to foreigners. Rumors placed the amount at over $100,000,000. Money rates in London were easier and orders for stocks was attributed largely to these causes. The professional element viewed the recovery with some suspicion, having in mind the failure yesterday of a similar rally to hold. St. Paul gained 2. North ern Pacific 2. United States Steel 2, Wabash preferred and American Sugar 2. and other prominent stacks between 1 and 2. Prices were shaded before noon. Bonds were firmer.

NORTH SIDE NEWS. ClTic Club May Discuss Two Im portant Hatters. lire Steamer and Street Fair to Be Considered. AS TO BEST TIME. For Holding Carnival Is .Sow Great Question. Dedicate Pleasant Hill Church Xext Sunday. It is now practically certain that the fire steamer for the First ward and the street fair propositions will be taken up at the next meeting of the Civic club Friday night. These two matters at present are occupying a great deal of thought and talk among the North aiders. As to the first. Mayor Billard, also president of the Civic club, and Com missioner Holman. also member of the organization have expressed them selves in favor of this measure. Mayor Billard has his mill and residence in the First ward and Mr. Holman also has property interests here, so would of course be" desirous of having better tire protection than exists now. Taking the pecular situation of these men together with the wishes of the First ward people, both indi vidually and as members of the Civic club, it now seems very probable that the citizens and this body may be partly the means of securing the 6re steamer and proper accommodation for the same. This of course, aa ex plained In the State Journal Monday necessitates that fire station No. 1 will be enlarged. As to the fair matter the Civic club members, with a few exceptions, are much interested in the prospects of securing a street carnival for the First ward. It is more a question as to the best time of holding it here than anything else. Otto Kuehne. president or the Kuehne Preserving works, and vice president of the club said: "Of course I am in favor of the street fair. W hile It would benefit the merchants who are on Kansas avenne rr.ore than it would mv business, at the same time I believe it would be a good thin for the North side and I would like to see it come." The Pleasant Hill Methodist church which has been remodeled will be ded icated Sunday morning. Exercises will begin at 11 a. m. Rev. Zooks of Topeka will preach. Special music wilk be furnished. Another room for the primary and Junior classes has been built to the church and new pews have been add ed. The building has also been repa rered and repainted. While it has been torn up the congreeation have lieen meeting at the Indian Creek grange hall four miles north of To peka on the Central avenue road. fommnnlty Comment.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1910, NEW DAY HAS COME. Secretary Wilson Talks on Oianges In Business of Inarming. St. Louis, May 4. That the farms of the United States are not producing half what they should because of a lack of practical education among the farmers -was the explanation of the high cost of living problem offered by Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson In an address tonight at the Farmers union rally. Secretary Wilson received a mixed greeting from the largest audience that has yet attended the sessions. A motion that the delegates arise when the secretary entered was voted down with cries of "He's no better than we are." When he appeared, about half the audience stood up while the others shouted: "Sit down." He was roundly applauded at the con clusion of his address however, and presided at the remainder of the ses sion. "I believe the solution of the cost of living problem lies in good hands," said Mr. Wilson. "The farmers are awake and no country is in danger when this is the case. I have Inves tigated charges that the farmers have combined to put up prices and rob the community and believe that they are not true. "In the past the manufacturers ask rd no questions as to the continued fertility of soil and no effort was made to educate the farmer or his son, while the education of the farmer's son to leave the farm went on apace. Manufacturing will not succeed with out an abundance of food at reason able prices and now that the farms In the east have fallen away below the standard of productiveness, the manu facturers are waking ud to the danger of under-protectlon. "The government continued for half a century to give away its fertile lands until now we have little left except the dry lands. The farmer in the old day was a good natured per son, working for what wages he could get and being glad of it while his sons went away from the farm. "A new day has come. Our popu lation Is increasing a couple of million or so a year and our production Is not keeping pace with this growth. Prices have gone up. Something must be done. "Of the fourteen states of the Mis sissippi valley not one is producing half the crops It should because the farmers have not been taught scienti fic farming. We can and will, ulti mately double every crop we are growing and at the same time care for a population of 200 million people. When we've done that the agricultur ists of the day will show how to dou ble the crops again. The government Is straining every effort to improve the soil and Is accomplishing wonderful things, but there remain other thnlgs to be done. "We're forgetting the old home ec onomies. "We buy too much In paper bags, forgetting the sacks and barrels. One of the best things I could recommend to you would be the appointment of a committee to study the economies of the home. Rice sold at wholesale In Louisiana at 2 cents a pound, costs 8 cents a pound in the north in a paper bag. "The farmer must be educated. We need a country-wide university. If I had nothing else to do I should be come a lobbyist In my state of Iowa, to demand that agriculture be taught in every one of the thirty or more col leeen there. If we teach the young farmers, the old farmers will soon taV" interest. "We must keep our young farmers on the farm. Immigrants who have lived on farms should be placed on farms when they come to this coun try. "We need atrrlcultural teachers. WTe nped agricultural text books, but where are we going to get them. Some day we'll have a primer and all the readers. And that will be a step." TAFT SEES TWO GAMES. Nationals and Americans BotH Playing In St. Ijouia Today. St. Louis, May 4. President Taft arrived here it 8:30 o'clock this morn ing. On his arrival he was met by the reception committee of the Business Men's league, Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson and Governor H. S. Had ley. The presidential party was taken to the St. Louis club as the guest of the Commercial club at breakfast. The address at the Farmers' conven tion was delivered at 11 o'clock. After a drive through the business section of the city the president will be a guest at a luncheon given by the Business Men's league at the Southern hotel. From the 'uncheon President Taft will be driven to the National league baseball park and witness the opening Innings of the Cincinnati and St. Louis clubs game. From there he will go to the American league park where the Cleveland and St. Louis clubs play. After the Mil games President Taft will motor through the residence sec tion and will be taken to a dinner of the Traffic club. When he has finished speaking at the Traffic club dinner he will be tak;n to his train which is scheduled to start for Washington at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning. Lions Fought for His Body. Forest City, la.. May 4. George Tardy, a lion keeper, was almost killed here during a circus parade, when an enraged lion sprang upon him and bore him to the floor of the cage. One arm was almost torn from his body and his throat and back were terribly lacerated. Two female lions In the same cage followed their mate In the attack and the three fought des perately for possession of their victim. Elephant keepers drove oft t"he lions with bull hooks and removed Tardy from the cage.

I have two Demo cratic state representatives who will give important evidence before the spec ial grand jury in regard to the alleged bribery in the election of William Lori mer as United States senator, said State's Attorney John Wayman today on his return from a mysterious visit to St. Louis and the southern part of Illinois, William Lorimer. These witnesses will appear before the grand jury on Saturday and tell some important things about the election of Mr. Lorimer, ccntinued Mr. Wayman. "I am not at liberty to give their names but I will say they are members of the state legislature whose names have not been mentioned thus far in the investi gation. Their identity will be a com plete surprise. "I brought no one back with me. I left Detective Murman of my office in St. Louis to finish up the work there. The two men in question will positive ly appear before the jury on Saturday. "I consider that my trip to St. Louis has been highly successful. I have noth ing more to say." Mr. Wayman disappeared after the grand jury session Monday and did not say where he was going. It was not known here until word came from St. Louis last night that he was there. The grand jury was in session oaly a short time and no evidence was heard in the Lorimer case because of Mr. Way man's absence.

It was stated, however, that they intended to re main in Kansas City at least today before resuming their trip south. SUES FOR PICTURES. Artist Files Uig Claim Against Lucky Baldwin Estate.

These days are restless ones for Edward Payson Wes ton. For the first time in three months or more, he has nothing to do and it takes a deal of scheming to make the doing of it fill the day. Some of his leisure time is being spent in renewing old acquaintances here. One of his first calls was upon General Thomas H. Hubbard, the lawyer and patron of adventurers and another fa vored one was Joseph H. Choate, for mer ambassador to Great Britain. Mr. Choate had tried to get to city hall on Monday to see the end of Weston's 3.E00 mile stroll, but the crowd was too dense and he had to turn back. He took Wes ton to task for walking 72 miles in one da;-. "When he read about it in the news papers," said Mr. Weston later, "he wrote me a letter in which he waJited to know whether I was ever going to get over being a fool." The pedestrian's ankle, which was in- FAT FOLKS FAVOR Home Mixture That Take' Off the Fat Rapidly Causes No Wrink'es-No Stomach His and Requires Nei'her Dieting Nor Exercise Too much fat is both uncomfortable and dangerous, but usually fleshy people perfer to put up with its inconvenience rather than punish themselves with the tiresome exercising usually prescribed, or endanger their health by taking the so called "cures" and patent fat "reducers." Tliis self-sacrifice of comfort and health to overabundant fat is entirely unneces sary, however, as Mrs. Luella Bigger tells us there is a home receipt that is far superior in every way to anything money will buy for reducing superfluous fleph. It is said this simple mixture will take the fat oft of man or woman at the rate of at least a couple of pounds a week with out even causing wrinkles. Moreover it does not disturb the stomach, but is a good thing for the system, clearing away pimples, and. best of all, it does not inter fere with the diet. Tou can use it and at the same time eat whatever you like. This receipt is as follows: 1-2 ounce Mar mola: 1-2 ounce Fluid Kxtract Cascara Aromatic and 3 1-2 ounces of Peppermint Water. Get these ingredients at any drug store, mix them together at home and take one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Mrs. Bigger, as is well known, is a fameus beauty expert, and whatever she recommends is sura to be found eminently satisfactory.

HOLE IN HER SIDE. Steamer Santurie Limps Into Port After a Collision. Provincetown, Mass., May 4. The freight steamer Santurie, which was in collision with the northbound tank steamer Ligoiier off Cape Cod last night, arrived here at dawn today with a 12 foot hole in her starboard side and her after- compartment full of water. No otic, was injured during the accident but half the crew of the San turie jumped on the Ligonier. Captain FolVer of the Santurie was not dismayed by the desertion of half of his men, and with the help of his officers and th remainder of the crew the after-bulkhead doors were closed and all the after pumps were started up. It was a ticklish piece of work coax ing the waterlogged Santurie around the end of the cape, but her engine room force k-pt their places and the steamer readied safety in port.
