Two Steamers Collide in Thun der Bay, Lake Huron. One of Them Sinks in 47 Fath oms of Water. U SEVENTEEN PERISH. The Other Vessel Slakes Port in Bad Condition. After Rescuing Seven of the Lost TessePs Crew. Port Huron, Mich., May 24. Seven teen are suppoed to be dead as a re sult of a collision of two big steel freight steamers on Lake Huron, north of Point Aux Barques in a dense fog Monday morning News of the collision reached here today. The steamer Frank H. Goodyear of Cleveland was cunk in 47 fathoms of water. The steamer James B. Wood of Cleveland, which struck the Goodyear bow on came into Port Huron harbor today with a big hole in her bow car rying half a dozen survivors from the Gcodyear. The latter carried a crew of 2'i men and several passengers. Captain F. R. Hominger of Algonac, Mich., who commanded the Goodyear, Chief Engineer Gibson Steward, David Biisfett, one wheelsman and two pas sengers. Mrs. Thomas H. Bassett and her daughter of Marine City, Mich., were saved and brought to Port Huron, on the tteamer Wood. The only hope of the survival of the others who were on board the Goodyear lies in the possibility of their having been rescued by the steamer Sir Will iam Siemens, which was near the scene of the wreck and is due at Detour and Pan It Ste. Marie toiay. The Goodyear was struck amidships on the starboard side, while the bow of the Wood was punctured. In a moment it was seen that the Goodyear was doomed, as she began rapidly to fill with water. Every one on board was supplied with a life pre server and every effort made to man and launch the small boats. But the water p lured into the hold so fast that the heavy hatches were forced from their frames by the pressure from un derneath and shot into the air in every direction and the falling hatches spread injury and death among the terrified crew and passengers. With his infant child in his arms. Steward Bassett had almost reached safety in one of the life boats, when one of the tumbling hatches snatched the baby from his arms. The little one fell into the lake and was drowned de spite the frantic efforts of its father to rescue it. When the Goodyear settled beneath the surface of the water it was evident she was practically broken in two, the action of the water having completed the destruction begun by the blow re ceived during the collison. Carried a Crew of Twenty-Three. Cleveland, May 24. According to the information received by the Gilchrist Transportation company here, owners of the James B. Wood, the steamer sunk was the Frank H. Goodyear, own ed by Captain John Mitchell, also of this city. She carried a crew of 23 men in charge of Captain F. R. Hemenger, of Algonaca. Mich. Captain Mitchell received word from Captain Hemenger by telephone this morning. He reported that the two boats collided in the fog, 27 miles south of Thunder bay, at 6 o'clock last night, and that the Goodyear sank in 4 7 fathoms of water. The Frank H. Goodyear was a mod ern steel steamer and was 43G feet long. Six members of the crew of the Goodyear, including Captain Hemen ger, were rescued by the steamer Wood and taken to Port Huron, ac cording to word received at the Gil christ offices. As the Goodyear is said to have had 23 men aboard, the num ber thought to have been drowned Is seventeen. No Survivors Reported. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.. May 24. The steamer Siemans passed Decatur this morning and did not report any survi vors of the wrecked steamer Goodyear. meantTorWking. Bomb Exploded In Madrid Intended for Alfonso. Madrid, May 24. Following a night search and inquiry the police believe today that a bomb exploded last night was intended for King Alfonso. The explosive was hurled at the monument erected to the victims of the attempt against his majesty on his wedding day, May 31, 1906, but the authorities think the original intention of the anarchist was to strike down the king on his arrival at the railway station on his return from London. As a result of this conviction the plans for King Alfonso have been changed and it is now arranged for him to enter the city by automobile. The bomb thrower, who was wounded by his own weapon, proves to have been a South American. Like Manuel Morales, who was be lieved to have headed the conspiracy against the king four years ago, the South American committed suicide when he found that his capture by the police was Imminent. THE COMET'S NEW TAIL Eclipse of Moon Helped Greatly In Observations. Chicago, May 24. Forty degrees of Hew born tail for the comet and a doubling of its luminosity owing to flaming hydro-carbon gas were record ed by the astronomers at the William Bay observatory last nifrht after ths spectographic negatives had been de veloped. Prof. E. B. Frost, director of the observatory, announced the results of the computations. "Four of us. after independent cal culations, agree that the new tail of the comet is 40 degrees long, he said. "The tail was visible long after the head had set. The darkening of the fky by the eclipse of the moon helped greatly in the observations. "Obsei-vations by the hand spectro- scope showed carbon bands In the head of the comet. These are confirmed by the dev3lopment of the negatives made with the 12 inch telescope. The Inter nal activity of the comet is In full blast. It is making gas at a terrific rate." Prof. Frcst said he did not expect to see the old tail in the east this morn ing. "The old tail must disappear,' he added, "when detached from its source it can only condense or fade away as the end of an active tail always does." Fine weather for observing prevailed throughout most of the night at Will iams' Bay, although it was cloudy and rainy over Chicago. During the total eclipse the moon presented the ac-pearance of a dull red oisk in the heavens. This, according to Prof. E. E.Barnard, of Yerkes obser vatory, was due to the red rays of the solar spectrum, which had the property of bending inward. THOUSANDS SAW IT. Good View of the Comet From Top of Mount Lowe. Los Angeles, Cal., May 24. There was one spot in southern California from which the sight of Halley's comet during the eclipse of the moon last night was not obscured by fog or cloud. From the observatory on Mt. Lowe a fine view of both phenomena comet and eclipse was obtained. Outlined against the dark heavens the comet's streamer was seen in all its brilliancy for more than an hour. It stretched upward past the zenith and was of a yellowish glow although the nucleus was almost white. To the thousands of spectators who ascended the mountain the comet ap peared like a gigantic searchlight and its train a gradually widening glare shot across the sky. FIRST RAILROAD JOURNEY William Ayers to Celebrate His Fifty First Birthday. New York, May 24. To celebrate his fifty-first birthday, now approach ing, William Ayres, of Sandyston township, New Jersey, is going to take his first ride on a railroad train. He will go to New York, of which he has heard a great deal in his time, but has never seen.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, May 24. General Lara commanding a force of government troops is today fiercely attacking the provisional government's position at the rear of Bluefields. The government steamer Venus is landing 500 troops off a lagoon 26 miles north of Bluefields bluff for the purpose of attacking the bluff in conjunction with General Lara's force back of Blue fields. The government troops began their attack last night on the position where the provisionals had entrench ed themselves, but they were repulsed and returned to the woods. An artil lery fire was kept up all night until dawn this morning when the attack wai resumed. The American gunboats Paducah and Debuque are not interfering with the movements of the Venus.

AS HERBERT SEES Hiawatha Editor Gives Ideas of Political Conditions. Insurgents Found in East as Well as West. FAULTFINDER LEAGUE Says Got. Stubbs Is One of Its Great Leaders. People of Kansas Overwhelmed With Material Prosperity. Washington, May 24. "There are as many Insurgents in the east as in the west," declared Ewing Herbert, editor of the Hiawatha (Kan.) World, and postmaster at that place, to the repre sentative of the State Journal, "if by an insurgent one refers to those who are dissatisfied without sufficient reason with things as they are. "The ideas of the downtrodden and oppressed farmer of ten years ago now appear in the minds of town and city men who pay more for necessities. When the farmers had to sell their pro d uce at low prices they were sure some thing was wrong. Now that produce brings high prices, the consumer says something is wrong. In self-defense, the farmer finds fault with the prices of the articles he buys. "If both producer and consumer are satisfied that something is wrong, why, then, something will be wrong. The many can't stand the pressure of dis content. The many can't weigh the theory of supply and demand. "The people of Kansas are over whelmed by material prosperity. But there is some confusion in a political way because a few Select Angels of Light, assuming to possess most of the intelligence and honesty of purpose in public affairs, insist that might and wrong prevail, instead of the weak and right. Neither the weak nor mighty are infallible. "The governor of our state is one of the great leaders of the Fault Finders' league. William Allen White is his press agent. The governor finds fault witih the president of our country and with the federal courts. The alleged reforms he stands for are his own and not those of his party. "Mr. White dared those who dis agreed with the nonpartisan governor to oppose the governor's candidacy for a second term with a Republican party candidate. The dare was accepted. A great conference was held at the state capital, attended by at least ten Re publican delegates from each of the 100 counties in the state. Thomas Wagstaff, a Republican, was nominated to oppose the nonpartisan governor, and the Re-I- ublican national platform was indorsed and the president of our country upheld by resolutions a jopted with cheers. "The governor's party perfidy was de nounced and the waste and extrava gance of his administration exposed and attacked. He is held accountable for the opposition to the re-election of Republican candidates for congress. He is a man of great wealth, and is supposed to have operated his barrel to pay the cost of the campaign of those opposed to the supremacy of the Re publican party organization in state and nation. "The result is certain to be that Kansas will continue to be Republican or it will become Democratic. Any loss to the party organization means gain to the Democratic organization. In each congressional district there is a Republican candidate and a fault-finding candidate. "In the districts of Congressman Murdock and Congressman Madison Republican candidates have not yet been announced. It is possible that, in response to the invitation of William Allen White, Mr. Murdock will have opposition. Mr. Madison has not yet been given up as totally against a con tinuance of Republican power, but if he should so declare himself doubtless a A SUGGESTION. Kansas Is Interested in Aeronautics.- Republican will be selected to oppose him. "The Republicans of Kansas are for the right, and they will not vote at tho polls for those who obstruct and de stroy. Rather, they prefer those who construct and upbuild for. the general good. "The east and the west should not be divided by the many false issues. The east needs the produce of the west, and the west needs the produce of the east. Neither can sell at high prices and buy at low prices. Fair prices for all, with work for all who will work, will be continued wealth and happiness. The injustice of much fault finding the conceit of those who disturb general welfare by their lamentations has caused a growing belief that the insur gent doctors who seek to cure the pub lic ills are -erely quacks prescribing the nostrums of the discarded Dr. Wil liam Jennings Bryan. And once that belief is clear as it will be those who have wandered from party allegiance will return to stay without discontent for another decade." The senate has confirmed the follow ing presidential postmaster appoint ments in Kansas: Harvey P. Donnell, at Waverly; Benjamin Fox, at Onaga; Zenas R. Detwiller, at Wamego; George Manville, at Wathena. Fourth class postmasters appointed: William R. Laughrey, at.Sharpe; John R. Hale, at Deerfield. F. C. Roberts of Osage City, Kan., an employe of the government printing of fice, has been elected president of Co lumbia Typographical union No. 101 of this city. The site of the postofflce at Spear vine, Kan., will be changed on July 1 from its present location to the west side of Main street, between the Santa Fe depot and Avenue A. Meridity postofflce. Cloud county, Kansas, will be discontinued on June 15 and superseded by rural free deliv ery. CORBETT TO HELP JEFF. Former Champion Is in Chicago on Way to California. Chicago, May 24. James J. Corbett. former heavyweight champion, is stay ing here a couple of days on his way to Ben Lomond, Cal., to help condition James J. Jeffries for his fight with Jack Johnson. Asked concerning his old time feud with Joe Choynski, Corbett laughed and said: "No, I don't suppose we could be called friends, for we've been enemies practically since we were boys, but it should prove no obstacle to our mutual efforts to help Jeffries. I've forgotten any hard feelings I ever had and I hope Joe has. This is too big a thing for petty bicklng to enter into the plans. I don't suppose Choynski and I ever will room together, but, so far as I am concerned. I will greet Joe Just as cordially as if we -never had had any differences. "When I told Jeff some months ago that I would do all to my power to help him beat Johnson, 1 meant every word of it," said Crobett. "and I began light training at once and increased it until lor the last twoweeka I have been do ing what might be called hard train ing." ANARCHIST CONFESSES. Names 1,148 Conspirators In. Plot Against the King. Lisbon, May 24. The government is awaiting the completion of the in vestigation of the statement made by an anarchist named Ramieres before taking action against those named as the conspirators in the assassination of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luis in 1908. Ramieres escaped to Brazil following the assassination, but was recently arrested and brought back here. Subsequently he made a con fession and gave to the police the names of 1,148 persons including sev eral prominent in politics who he said shared in the conspiracy. Why Not Settle It This Way? AS OURJILL SEES Hon. Wm. Hackney Testifies About Ship Subsidy. Brands Opponents as Ignorant or Demagogues. READY FOR QUESTIONS Tells Mr. Garrett Why He Put in Stinger. Talks of Wine Suppers But Gives No Names. Washington, May 24. Members of the house who are opposed to ship subsidy legislation learned things about them selves from William P. Hackney of Winfleld, Kan. Mr. Hackney had been summoned to appear before the Steen erson investigating committee to tell what he knows about lobbying in con gress to prevent the passage of a ship subsidy bill. He was entirely accommo dating:. "Every man in the United States," said he, "who opposes the principle of a ship subsidy is an ignorant ass, an unprincipled demagogue or the paid hireling of baleful influences." "Anything else?" asked Representa tive Garrett of Tennessee, a member of the committee. "Oh, I put that stinger in merely to challenge your attention," replied the Kansan. Hackney Is Frank. "Is it intended to be vituperative or instructive?" inquired Mr. Ralston, one of the attorneys. "Eoth." Mr. Hackney was asked specifically to testify concerning certain state ments in a pamphlet he published in which he charged that "baleful and vi cious influences" had prevented the enactment of a ship subsidy law. These influences, he had said penetrated the sanctums of magazine and newspaper editors and the halls of congress. In fact, he had not hesitated to denounce everybody who opposed ship subsidy legislation as corrupt. He also re ferred to wine suppers and other things supposed to be features of a perfectly equipped lobby. The com mittee was anxious to obtain the names of the persons who had been bribed to oppose subsidy bills and facts about the wine suppers. But Mr. Hackney gave no names or dates or figures. He said he had nothing of the sort. He had based his statements entirely upon an analysis of the condi tions. Mr. Hackney proved the most enter taining witness the committee has 'heard. All of those who listened to his statement agreed upon this point. He used such vigorous language and dis cussed so wide a range of subjects that the committee decided it would have to hold an executive session with the stenographers' notes before it to deter mine how much of his statement could be placed in the record. Particularly was he anxious to let the committee know of his views of Republican insur gency. He only partially succeeded ow ing to the combined efforts of members of the committee and the lawyers in terested in the hearing. "When this congress was about ready to take up ship subsidy," he said, "what were the influences that sprang upon the house the question about the rules, that destroyed for the time be ing all efforts at legislation? 11 is a cardinal rule anions those who repre sent special interests and who intend to defeat legislation for the people after all other expedient have failed to spring some new question, foreign to that which they have in charge, thereby those inimical to them are di vided. Thus they accomplish their purpose. Is there any man who does not know that the conflict over ihe rules of the house was inaugurated by such vicious influences'" Mr. Hackney also told of the activi- ties of press agents, employed to get arguments against ship subsidy print ed in the newspapers. A newspaper man in Washington had sent the Win field Free Press an article which the editor had given to him. "What is the politics of that news paper?" asked Chairman Olcott. "Well, the majority of the stock holders are Democrats, but it is trying to be independent," he replied. "It is supporting Phil Campbell for congress and Stubbs for governor. The one is a Republican and the other well, the less said about him the better." Mr. Hackney failed to give the com mittee definite information. He only knew that something was wrong, be cause a ship subsidy bill had not been passed. "And." he shouted, "let him who is not guilty show his hand and go to work." Mr. Hackney made short work of tn insinuation that interested persons had paid him to publish his ship subsidy pamphlet. He said he had paid for it himself, that 1,500 copies had cost him $101.50. HE DRAWS THE LINE. President Jordan Compares Harriman and Rockefeller. Palo Alto. Cal., May 24. In Presi dent David Starr Jordan's address to the graduating class at Stanford uni versity yesterday the subject of which was "The Wealth of Nations." refer ence was made to the lives of E. H. Harriman and other great financiers, in drawing the lesson that man's suc cess in life is not measured by what he does for himself, but rather by what he does for humanity. "In those matters in wnich the per manent wealth of nations is concerned, in the long future of mental and spir itual development, the name of Harri man," said Dr. Jordan, "finds no place. The name of Newcomb in the same connection will stand in larger letters among those who, by life and influ ence, have made this world a broader and a better one, or who have helped us to see better what a broad ana beautiful world this really it." Continuing, he said: "The name of Rockefeller will not suggest Standard Oil or the association of monopolies. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research represents one of the wisest and most far reaching uses to which any man's money can ever be put." FIRST LOVE TRUE LOVE. Ethel Christian Weds Sweetheart From Long Island City. Miss Ethel Christian, the unattached and unfortunate girl of Sayre, Pa., who has been in Topeka but three months, and a week ago preferred sensational charges against H. F. Deu Beary, whlcn she failed to prove, was rescued from her shame Monday night by the sweet heart of her past, Louis Kadleln, now of Long Island City, N. Y., who said he had known her all her life. He took out a license at the probata court and said he intended to take his bride back to New York. First, how ever, the couple will take an extended honeymoon trip to the Pacific coast and throughout the west. The brida and groom seemed happy as birds. Radlein is quite as large a man as is Deu Beary. WITHOUT RESERVE. Peru Accepts the Offer of Mediation in Boundary Dispute. Washington, May 24. The govern ment of Peru has formally accepted without reserves the mediation of the United States, Brazil and Argentine in the boundary dispute between Peru and Ecuador. United States Minister Coombs tele graphed the state department from Lima today to the effect that yesterday morning formal copies of the joint note in English, Spanish and Portuguese were delivered to the president of Peru and that the same evening he had been officially advised by that government that it accepted the mediation without reserve. The first condition upon which the offer of mediation was made was that the government should suspend the mobilization of troops and withdraw them from the border line. To accept the mediation must mean the accept ance of the conditions imposed and therefore no further steps will be taken by this government or Brazil and Ar gentine until the armies now on the frontier have been withdrawn. That condition complied with the three mediating governments immediately will take steps to carry forward some definite plan for the settlement of the differences between the two countries.

COMET AND ECLIPSE. Both Wonders Could Easily Be Seen Monday Night. The earth's shadow hid the moon from view Monday night. The eclipse began at about 9:35 o'clock and short ly after 10 o'clock the light of Luna was hidden completely. Gradually the moon passed from the black shadow and at 1:30 a. m. was clear and full again. The sky was cloudless and beautiful. Many persons witnessed the eclipse. The comet could plainly be seen during the night. It was dim and ap peared to be surrounded by haze but had no tail. It will be an easy target for the naked eye during the next three weeks. NONE TO CLAIM ASHES. After Body Is Cremated by Order of Somebody. Washington. May 24. The ashes of Sidney Lascelles, alias "Lord Beres ford," whose body was cremated here last week, remain unclaimed at the crematory as did his body after death for many years at Asheville, N. C. The undertaker who cremated the body said today nobody had claimed the ashes, that ho did not know who would or when, that he had been paid for the work and would keep the dust in a metallic case until some one called for it. As to who gave him the order to cremate the body of the alleged biga mist aicd swindier, the undertaker had nothing to say. Legal record of the cremation was made by the health department here today.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1910. RAILROAD NEWS. II. II. Germain Returns to To peka With More Honors. He-elected President of a Big International Association. TAKE IN FOREIGNERS. Chief Special Agent Germain Conferring With All Countries. Other Items of General Interest In Bailroad World. H. H. Germain, chief special agent of the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe railway, has just returned to his of fice In Topeka from the annual con vention of the Railway Association of Special Agents and Police of the United States and Canada, recently held In Los Angeles. Mr. Germain is president of -this mammoth associa tion, which now reaches all over the world, and was re-elected In Los An geles for his second term the- only time this organization has re-elected a man as president. "We had a great time In the west," said Mr. Germain in speaking: of the trip to a State Journal reporter this afternoon. "All along our way we were extended every courtesy available and In and out of Los Angeles we were treated In most cordial manner." II. II. Germain. Chief Special Agent of Santa Fe, Re-elected President of I. A. R. It. S. A. A P. Mr. Germain is especially enthusi astic about the work of this organiza tion of which he is president for the second time because at their annual meeting this year the association was enlarged and now includes foreign countries as well as the United States and Canada. In other words, it is now the International Association of Rail way Special Agents and Police the organization haying been extended to Include other lands. To be at the head of a powerful In ternational association of this kind Is no small honor. Mr. Germain, who has only been with the Santa Fe for the past six years, has been one of the leading workers In the organization and maintenance of the special agents and police of the railroads, express companies and steamship companies ef the country. His wida experience in this work and his leading position with the Santa Fe, one of the greatest of all American railroads, has made him a power in the work. The action of the association in in cluding all of the leading foreign civil ized countries in their organization was on of the greatest of all move ments in the railroad world. To com bine the special agent and police work of all the leading countries in the world on their railroads and make it possible for these departments of the railroads to work in harmony In their extensive criminal work is undoubtedly one of the greatest moves ever taken by an association. When it is possible for the Santa Fe, for Instance, to receive the help and co-operation of one of the lead ing trunk lines in Norway for the trac ing and final arrest of a criminal wanted by the Santa Fe a new era in railroad special agent and police work has dawned. And thl3 is just what the Interna tional Association of Railway Special Agents and Police has done through their recent meeting in Los Angeles and under the presidency of H. H. Germain of Topeka. Mr. Germain is now in communication with the big railroads in England, France, Ger many, Japan, Australia Italy, Spain. Norway, etc., and expects an answer from them in a few weeks. At that time he will be able to give a better lineup on the scope of the tfo-opera-tion between the United States and foreign countries. The Railway Association of Special Agents and Police was organized in Kansas City about 14 years ago, when eight representatives from eight dif- A Pleasing Sense of Health and Strength Renewed and of Ease and Comfort follows the use of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as it acts gently on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleans ing the system effectually, when con stipated, or bilious, and dispels colds and headaches.

Fe was a member of this original association, Now the assocition includes 79 rail ways, 3 express companies, 4 steam ship companies of the United States and Canada. The membership Is 350, These 850 men are only th chief spe cial agents and immediate assistants and superintendents of police and their immediate assistants in the Unit ed States and Canada. With the an nexation of the countries across the Atlantic the membership will be great' ly increased. During their session in Los Angeles the visiting special agents were given the keys to the city. They were wel corned by the mayor, the chief of po lice, the Chamber of Commerce and other representatives of the city. They were extended the privileges of the railways, street railways, steamboats, hotels and almost everything that could be of advantage to them. "In fact, they had so many engage ments for us that we had to cancel some of them in order to carry out our business meetings, said Mr. Ger main this afternoon. The Santa Fe also helped along in the good work. A trip over the fa mous kite-shaped tracks, through the orange groves in southern California was included. Trolley rides to San Gabriel Mission and Paadena were also carried out. Boat rides, banquets ana welcome entertainments were many. The officers of the association for the coming year are: H. H. Germain, Santa Fe, Topeka i-resiaem. J. J. Landers. New Tork Central, Utica First vice president. P. J. Kindelon, Southern Pacific, San Francisco Second vice president. F. 11. Schlapbach, Central of Georgia, Cedartown. Ga Third vice president. W. C. Pannell. Southern Railway, Baltimore Secretary-treasurer. DOING AWAY WITH PULLMANS. National Railways of Mexico Run Their Own Sleepers. The recent decision of the Mexican railway to operate its own sleeping cars between Mexico and Vera Cruz, beginning November 1, has given rise to report that the National Railways of Mexico will not renew Its contract with the Pullman company when the one now m ertect expires, ana that it will operate its own sleeping cars upon its various main and branch lines. Under the sanitation regulations in force in Texas all Pullman cars now are stopped at the International bor der points for fumigation. This makes the Mexico territory practically Iso lated from the United States so far as the operation of the cars are concern ed, and it is regarded as entirely practicable for the National Railways of Mexico to establish its own line of sleeping cars between the international gateways of El Paso, Eagle Pass, Laredo and Brownsville and interior points of Mexico. It Is said that the National Railways of Mexico will operate a through ser vice of sleeping cars all the way from the United States border to the port of Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminal of the Tehuantepec National railroad. Every mile of this service would be over the tracks of government owned roads. The Mexican (Vera Cruz) rail way recently placed an order In the United States for the construction of fourteen sleeping cars, which will be used to replace the Pullman cars that are now in use on that line. TICKETS WEST TELL A TALE. Kansas City's Ticket Sales Last Tear Almost $5,000,000. Kansas City, Mo., May 24. Kansas City's Union depot ticket office shows there has been a wonderful Increase in the development of the western coun try the past ten years. Sales of tick ets are the indicators. In 1900 the receipts of the Union depot ticket office were 1 million dollars. This was considered a re markable record. Every year since then the receipts have been climbing steadily. Last year they went a little over 4 million dollars. Lynn S. Banks, general ticket agent, says the receipts this year will reach or ex ceed five million dollars. "It hasn't been cheap rates or any thing of that kind," Mr. aBnks said this morning. "The increase is due to growth in the population of the west. "Kansas City is a sort of clearing house for homeseekers. Thousands annually buy tickets to Kansas City and from here purchase tickets to their destinations. Tears ago it was the rush for the west that increased our receipts: then came the boom in the southwest and last year we had the Puget Sound business and develop ment of the fruit country in the north west. These are the things that have run our receipts up to such a high figure." ONLY ONE IN 299,762,658. Pennsylvania Made Marvelous Fatality Record in Two Years.

Jackson permitted three of the horned tribe- to cross the terminal in the first. Folbre started out his in nings by permitting one score In the third, and In the fourth he permitted five Prohibs to canter around. In the bloody sixth Harris went in, and al lowed four tallies, but after that the scoring ended. The Topeka aggregation got things started three times, and before the lo cals got their life preservers adjusted they had lined out two in the third, as many in the fifth, and another in the sixth. Folbre, in the third, con nected with one that was good for a round trip after Kunkel had led off the inning with a two sacker, and in the fifth he made two bags before the AntelopeB located the elusive sphere.

Cockman got to the first corner on an error, and Maggie came in under the wire. Waldron got a single, scoring Cobb. Thomas went out on a fly to Landreth. Wiedensaul hit into Jackson's combination and made one lap, and Cockman finished the circuit. Waldron tried to pilfer home, but Boles was on the job.

Pennell, in the second scene of act one, went out on a fly to first. Lan dreth made the first quarter on an er ror of Gagnier. Boles went out on a fly to the same Gagnier, and Kahl hit nothing but the atmosphere. Jones he who pays the freight went out when the Antelopes took their turn, Reilly to Landreth. Jude took the second of his three constitu tionals toward first, but was put out on a fielder's choice, Gagnier getting to first. Maggie was later put out on an attempted steal to second, and the trouble stopped. Scene three. Kunkel is discovered making a two-bagger when the cur tain rises. Jackson follows with a homer, and the ladies begin to take notice. Thomason and Wooley both go out, pitcher to first, and Reilly con nects for two sacks. Pennell goes out, second to first. Curtain.

According to reports Cir culating around at present there is an excellent chance that a trade will be pulled off in the near future. Des Moines is anxious to get Rasty Wright, the tall twlrler. It is also said that Reilly, the Topeka shortstop, will be involved in the deal ii it is pulled off. Cooley would want a first baseman a shortstop and could use an outfield er and also a pitcher and catcher. Des Moines is going to be long in all of these places and could let go of some of the men all right. So it is possible that a trade will be made before the week is over. Negotiations have been in progrcrs now ever since the first week or tne season praoucany. Chiok Hartman, the Denver discard is wearing the crown in the batting average table in the Western Just now Mr. Hartman has the healthy mark of .S91. Released by Denver, Chick was an importanc factor in the three straight defeat handed to the Grizzlies in Sioux City early in the week. Colligan. of Des Moines, leads in sac rifice hits and McAleese, of Denver, is the boss base stealer. The Des Moines midget has advanced eleven runners by the suicide route. McAleese's total of swiped Eacks is 14. Wichita has such a long lead in team fielding that the other teams are scarcely close. The Izzies have an av erage of .955. Lincoln is second at .941. St. Joe's team average is only .919, but the Drummers are in first place' in games won and lost. The Denver Grizzlies are batting .294 as a team. Des Moines is close up with a mark of .292 and the Sicux City Pack ere are two points behind Des Moines. Lincoln Journal: The Sdoux City Tri bune says that Jack Haskell is bad on balls and strikes. U-mps Clark was a tit aromatic yesterday in Lincoln, but the bad ones were evenly distributed. Clark's base decisions during the series with St. Joe have been quite satisfac tory. Lincoln Journal: Davy Davidson is more than making good with the Brook lyn Superbas and seems to be sure of sAickinij in the big show. When this chap was taken from the Lincoln club list fall, the Western League lost the most finished outfielder it had develop ed in many a season. Davy was tre mendously popular in Lincoln, although his true merit was never appreciated the fans became so accustomed to seeing him sprint ail over that center Jld garden, sticking everything in his hip pocket, that; Davy's brilliancy did rot receive its full reward. Brooklyn certainly put it over the Cubs on that tii.de of Davy. Happy Smith and Tony Smith ior Pitcher Mclntire, Davy is al ready a sensation, Tony is Pure of an inliefd iob when he recovers from an injury and Happy appears to be so promising that the Brooklyn manage ment ha3 so far rofused to listen to any suggestion involving his release. Jack Hendricks, the Denver man ager, was chased from the Oinaha park his line of conversation excited the ire of Umpire Mickey Mullen. His run-in with Mickey was due to a irick at the tird :sack by Mr. Dolan, who inter fered with an Omaha runner. Mullen permited the run to score and when Hendricks roared, he was expelled from the prjmises. Lincoln Journal: George Farthing featured in some stellar pitching. On thiee separate occasions he made St. Joe swatters fan the ozone after the count had read three balls and no strikes. After such superb hurling it was a crying shame that the parson I BASE BALL I Western League Only Games This Series St. Joseph vs. Topeka BEGINNING THURSDAY May 26, 27, 28 and 29 Ladies Free at the Gate Friday Sunday game called at 3 P. M. 9 should deliberately present the Drum n:ers with the victory. But this is to be a long season. A lot of ball clubs will be eating out of his port mitt be fore the campaign is ended. Jack Holland picks the Omaha club as the one aggregation which all ri vals must fear. The Joetown magnate says all Pa Rourke needs is more pitching strength. Pa has the, same notion, but so far he has been unable to get 'em. 'Lincoln Journal: Catcher Jack Henry is the wandering Jew of baseball. Threo years ago he was with Topeka, follow ing which he has played In Sioux City. Lincoln, Fort Wayne and Minneapolis. Now he has hit the trail to Great Bend, Kan. From the American association to the Kansas State league is somo tumble. The Denver Grizzlies could go on the road as concert musicians, even if they can't win many ball games on their first tour. Henry Olmstead is a fiddler of the Jan Kubelik class, Pitcher Hager man thumps the piano and Caruso him self has nothing on Hippo Hammond as a songbird. Lincoln Journal: Dick Cooley ha a pitching staff which, on paper, ought to have the goods, but the Topeka aggre gation has been unable to win many ball games. Three of his twirlers, Kauffman, Wright and Jackson, rank alongside the top notchers in the Tip O'Neill circuit. Right now Sir Richard is threatened with going home in the tailend position. This will test tho loyalitv of the Topeka fans. It requires courage and the genuine boosting spirit to welcome a cellar ball club. St. Joe has the fever of this there Is no doubt. One of the prominent whole sale merchants in Joetown recently of fered to e-o down into his pocket and dig up $500 to Jack Holland in case tho Bt. Joe magnate needed it to buy a player. Holland declined with sincere thanks and said he would spend his own money in case necessity demands. The responsible business men of Joe town have made it known that they will never again be wittiout profes sional baseball. For four long years they were jabbed and advertised as the only city of 100,000 population in Uncle Sam's domain which was too dead to support baseball. Omaha Bee: Denver has the best team it has had for many years. Some wise discriminating has been done In sifting out men and getting such an aggregation at the last. The team to day has a ginger and spirit that is es sential to success, but which no Denver team since the palmy days of Pop Eyler has shown. We are glad as good a town as Denver has as good a team as this. Sioux City Tribune: Howard Earl, scout for the Pittsburg Pirates, was In Lincoln the other day watching the Antelopes perform. He is said to be making the rounds of the circuit. Glad he wasn't in Sioux City Thursday. A big scare was thrown into the Lincoln fans by the announcement that Presi dent Despain contemplated selling Farthing, the Antelopes' crack twlrler, to Denver. The chances are mighty slim for any club to get tilm. Rourke is also said to have his eye on Farthing.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that (treat news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon nubllcatlon In Toneka. The news Is received In The Plate JouT rial building over wires for this sola pur pose. It occurs to the Washington Herald that "when It comes to taking the fclajme Mr. Taft is his own Secretary Loeb." Here's a serious case of lese majeste. Champ Clark does not think that Mr. Bryan knows very much about tariff legislation. Horror of horrors. Two girls In an Ohio high school were actually whipped recently by the principal. He used a piece of rubber hose on their backs. Topeka. has another distinction to be croud of. It is the only city in Kansas waiich Is trying to fight "The Great Wilt Plague" In a practical manner. Naturally, Mr. Bryan Is a little diffi dent about discussing the fitness and ability of other prominent men In his party for Ha next presidential nomlna ticn. Maybe the disappearance of the com et's tall can be explained by its doubling tip with laughter at the ludicrous at tempts of the astronomers to tell all about It. A discovery has been made by the Atlanta Constitution to the effect that "the man who sings the loudest in church throws his head back so far he can't see the collection basket." It is a fortunate thing for the peace of mind of the Englishmen that. Frenchmen and not Germans are show ing great proficiency in crossing the English channel in aeroplanes. It ought not to be difficult to provo to the remaininglndiansthat God works in mysterious ways his wonders to per form. Such an authority on a subject as Buffalo Bill said recently: "The hand of God blotted out the Indians." Scientists are now claiming that the Caribbean sea is full of many cities of magnificent proportions. And there ought to be general agreement among less learned folk that such is a mighty poor place for any old kind of a city. That some administrators of justice (have most peculiar ideas Is made ap parent again by the recent acts of a New Tork magistrate. He fined a man fb for sleeping in a park and two other men $3 each for terrorizing the passen gers of a subway train. Prom the marvellous pictures the (politicians, and especially the candi dates for office among them, paint of themselves, it is apparent that their cups of Joy would be completely filled If they could only get others to see them as they. ee themselves. 'A Chicago woman, who celebrated her JOlst birthday recently believes that the best and only recipe for longevity is "to live sensibly." Like other excellent theories this Is altogether too indefin ite. Almost everybody has a different Idea as to what constitutes sensible r.ess in living. Perhaps Senators Hale, Clay and Gal linger were a trifle pessimistic in pre dicting there is bankruptcy ahead of the United States if the present rate of expenditures for naval and other iwilitary purposes are continued and in creased proportionately with the in creases of the past few years. But the time is certainly at hand when there should be a material curtailment in the expenditures for these purposes. Unanimous consent should be given for the award of the medal for the best description of just what a comet's tail Is to Professor Percival Lowell. He de scribed it several days before it was t-cheduled by others to sideswipe the earth as being "the airiest approach to nothing set in the midst of naught." So correct was he In these premises that his theories about the canals on Mars should be given more favorable consideration. "Young men just starting in life, middle-aged men, even elderly men with small reserve of strength remain ing, can derive from cultivation of land in any state of the union." says the Cincinnati Enquirer, "a surer re turn from their efforts, a greater in terest upon capital Invested, a more in dependent and healthy existence than they can from any other vocation." Yes, and they can do it easier and get larger returns in Kansas than in any other state. Champ Clark. Mr. Foss, the new Dem ccratic representative from Massaehu sttts, and others of the same party, are waxing eloquent these days in many and varied declarations that the new tariff law is of the bunco variety. The Democrats have been saying the same thins about all other protective tariff laws for the past quarter of a century and longer. But the fact remains that the people of this country have enjoy ed unusual prosperity under the Repub lican methods of tariff making. GARBAGE TO BE REMOVED. A fervent prayer will go up from the householders of the city that noth ing will interfere with the consumma tion of the plans of Commissioner Holman for the regular removal of garbage from their doors and stable refuse from the alleys. This is some thing that the people of the town have sorely needed for some time, and if nothing else of any moment is accom pllshed by the city commission Its cre ation would not have been in vain. These plans include the purchase and operation by the city ot special wagons for the collection of this refuse. Specially constructed and sani tary cans to be used as receptacles for such waste will also be purchased by the city and rented out to the house holders. In this way a share of the revenue needed for the conduct of this service will be provided These rentals will not be large, and it is not likely that many persons in the city will pro test against them. As a matter of fact. there are any number of persons in town who will welcome the oppor tunity of paying to have their garbage removed from their premises with reg. ularity. The conditions which have prevailed throughout the city in this particular have been obnoxious for years. In the way of bettering the sani tary conditions in Topeka this system which Mr. Holman proposes to put in operation will be a great boon, and es pecially as It is going to be instituted in the Immediate future and thereby will be In operation during the sum mer season, which is lust at hand. It will assist the people materially in the swat the flv" crusade which it is so necessary for them to wage. Garbage boxes and manure piles are the favor ite breeding places of the little pests which have been shown to be a serious menace in the pollution of food and the spread of disease. Robbing them of their lairs is the best method of put ting them out of business. This will be done when the Holman plan gets working. It is to be hoped there will be no unnecessary delay In getting it started. LOGIC AS A MORAL AGENT. "No one is born to logic, more than he is born to virtue," says a writer In Harper's Weekly. "We have pain fully to learn the art in each case; but some are born with an aptitude, and, in the former case as well as the latter, that is worth cultivating. Vir tue is always desirable, as the gorse is always in blossom, but logic at the moment Is out of vogue. Tet it too is a great good, worth a great pre mium and a long apprenticeship, if only as subsidiary to the other. Logic never made a life easier, but it makes it wiser, kinder, and far profounder. And beyond peradventure the life deep-rooted, high-reaching, the life which is lived not at the surface, but at the lower levels, is the life of bless edness. Vexations may fret the sur face, and the storms of desire and dis like and distress may lash it to a foam, but in the depths where the great currents of cause and effect flow recognized and resistless, and the un utterable understandings, the vital passions, underlie all wanes and tides, there peace and power are one. "Perhaps it is rash to say that no man ever found his life made easier by logic. There may be some in whom the calm of reason has so al layed and effaced the turbulence of what we wistfully call 'mere human nature,' that a man can bear conse quences without pain by remembering that he was the cause; support the rheumatism because he chose to lie on the dewy grass, and the poverty because he went out to buy copper at the wrong moment. That were to have equanimity and something more. A spirit so tempered and so cool is rarely found; more rarely is it loved. The world does not love pure reason how, indeed, should the great, gross, overgrown world, with its rule-of-thumb, its rough-and-ready averages. love it? The world is just a big, ab surd hobbledehoy, and likes its own kind, the sort of Simple Simon that fishes for whales in a bucket and would buy pies without a penny." TOO MUCH rESSIMTSM ABROAD. Tt is the opinion of Henry Clews, the New York banker, whose views on the business conditions in the country have rightly come to be looked upon as being pretty authoritative, that there is an excess of pessimism abroad concerning the activities in the busi ness world and the prospects for a prosperous future. He analyzes the situation in his current weekly finan cial review in a convincing fashion. Among other things he says: 'Continued cool weather in all sec tions of the country and consequent backward condition of the crops was another element which put a damper upon inordinate optimism (in the stock market.) There is also a gen eral slacking up in business which seems to be extending. Commodity prices had reached a prohibitive point, and now that downward reaction has set in buyers naturally hesitate until satisfied that the decline has reached limits. "There is no question but that a re-adjustmen- to a lower basis Is going on in industrial and mercantile af fairs, a readjustment that will prove highly beneficial and pave the way for renewed activity at a later date. Un fortunately, the country has become so accustomed to high pressure activ ity and advancing prices that it can not experience any movement in op posite directions without becoming unduly discouraged. It is a question if the national business nerve has not been weakened by too prolonged pros perity, since it now takes unnecessary fright at the slightest sign of reac tion. It has long been insisted upon in these advices that the country would be benefited by some sort of readjustment; our industrial machin ery being out of gear because some portions had advanced much more rapidly than others. We are now go ing through a period of this character in which equilibrium is being restored. There is no occasion for undue anxi ety, and after a period of moderate retrenchment we must look forward to renewed activity, provided the harvest realizes expectations. At present the crop outlook is promising, although containing spots of disappointment. Considerable InjuryJias unquestionably been done to wheat In Kansas, but this should be offset by a larger corn crop. This same remark will apply to the country as a whole. A larger acreage of cotton is in prospect, and It Is still too early to indulge In pessi mifitic views regarding any of our crops. A cool and backward spring can hardly be considered detrimental when accompanied by adequate mois ture, and It should be remembered that a few warm days will quickly place the crops upon a satisfactory footing. "The keynote of the present situa- tion is, as usual at this season, the crops. Should the latter prove satis factory and contrary expectations are not yet Justified we shall soon wit ness a revival of confidence, more ac tivity in business and a better stock market. Just now there is an excess of pessimism abroad; more than is justified by actual conditions. The present period of rest will enable the country to regain its nerve and pave the way for renewed activity upon a lower and safer level."

Jealousy has no mercy for its vic tims. Marriage is seldom what it is con tracted to be. Many a man tries to stand on his rights who hasn't any. Did you ever hear of a burglar try ing to break into society? If time were money, most of us wouldn't have a minute to spare. His Satanic majesty boosted his business when he invented politics. A pessimist defines society as a lot of nobodies who talk about nothing. Did it ever occur to you to try your own advice before turning it over to others? The man who marries for money should be willing to take the humilia tion that goes with it. Probably the easiest kind of easy mark is a man who labors under the delusion that he understands women. A company that will Insure a man against his wife's relations would se cure more patronage than any other insurance company. KANSAS COMMENT THE ATTCTTM TWPVc The ode" written by Alfred Austin, in his misguided effort to add a new grief to the sorrow of the royal family, is being ridiculed by newspapers all over this country and Canada. The iaul mat Canadian editors point the finger of scorn at the rhyme shows how bad it is, for they'll usually stand for Mijuung mat is Britisn. The truth Is that it would h fmnns- sible for anybody to write worse poetry hio.ii Austin s. His poetry Is like the music from a cheap phonograph, while that of Tennyson resembled the strains of a pipe organ in a cathedral. Upon the occasion of a solemn event like the deatH of the king, the pitiful treble squawk from Alfred's tin harp is worse than discordant. It is like hysterical laugmer at a funeral. King George should mit the lid on Austin without delay. It would be a good way to open his reign, and would endear him to the people. British literary traditions are among the coun try's noblest assets. The laureate Idea is rather ridiculous in itself, but it has Deen dignified by such bards as Words worth and Tennyson, and if the coun try must have an official poet, he should be a real poet, and not a tin norn one. While Austin remains in office the members of the royal family must re gard death with unmixed terror, know ing that he wiU write odes about them as soon as they have passed away. The queen mother and several of the dukes and duchesses are in the sere and yellow leaf, and may be called at any time; and the fact that Austin Is waiting, with his fountain pen loaded, to do his worst, is enough to bring out a cold sweat on them. The king surely has it in his power to suppress Austin, and if he has not the direct power, he may at least assemble parliament in extraordinary session, and have a law passed, with an emer gency clause, prescribing a penitentiary sentence for a laureate who writes a poem without a written permission from the king.

FROM OTHER PENS APOLOGY FOR BAD FAITH. Senator Bailey of Texas is disposed to enlarge on the theory which has been growing on him for a year or more against the declaration of party platforms as a guide to party policy in legislation. In the senate last week he denounced the theory of adhesion to such declarations as "nothing more or less than a proposition to transfer the legislative power of this republic from the bodies where the constitution lodged it over to irresponsible political conventions." This is moonshine. The legislative power is not transferred to "irrespon sible political conventions" because no legislators are bound by the party platforms except those who accept and stand on platforms of their respective parties. But in all representative gov ernment it is a settled principle that legislators are elected by the people with a view to the policies they stand for. How shall the people know what policy in government the men they vote for will represent? No intelligent man demands a sla vish adhesion to the letter of party platforms where new conditions arise to change the method of reaching the professed aim. But when on long defined issues the party policy Is de clared, and men elected on that policy proceed to break the pledges, it re duces political action to the science of gaining votes on false pretenses. Senator Bailey, and others as prom inently as he, have given signal illus trations of that sort of politics. His present counterblast against national platforms is a sophisticated apology for bad faith. Pittsburg Dispatch. TAXATION. It is evident that some change in the mode of taxation is imminent in this country, as in all other civilized countries. Our present methods of taxation are practically just what they were a hundred years ago de spite the fact that invention and prog ress have completely changed forms of wealth. What was essentially a tax on wealth is no longer anything but a tax on the poor. Moreover, the ex treme extravagance which character izes governments of the present day makes necessary much greater reve nue returns. It is this very question of extrava gance which alarms economists. Taxa tion is so indirect and so long a time in making itself felt that people are likely to vote new money grants with out proper consideration of their ef fects. Municipalities and states think nothing of selling large bond issues, reiving on the progress and industry of the future to pay for them. The city of New York owes more money than the L'nited States owed a short while ago. if not more than the United States owes today. The entire cost of administration in Japan is not so great as that of New York city. Millions in bonds are voted by citizens because they expect to feel no ill effects from the new tax. It is this very extrava gance which is responsible in a meas ude for high prices today. Charleston News and Courier. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press.

Davison smothered an ejaculation, snapped his fingers and made a dash tor the 'phone. Exchange refused stubbornly to answer, and he jangled me bell peremptorily. At last he got a connection, ana stood waiting for tne low, familiar "1303" to sound back over the line. After several minutes he was advised that 1803 was out of commission, and the receiver clashed ominously against the hook. "Something dreadful has happened." Thus had Cynthia expressed herself in tne letter left on his desk less than ten minutes ago. Furthermore, she continued, "it is now quite out of the question for us ever to think of marrying. Please do not ask me for explanations, but believe that I am honest and quite right in taking this painful step. I know that your con fidence in me is sufficient to warrant my asking it of you. Under separate cover, I am returning everything, including the engagement ring. Please do not attempt to see me or dissuade me, for it will be useless. I am sail ing for Cuba with the Hartreys on Tuesday." Davison staggered back to his seat and reread the lines in a half stupor. What was it all about? What could it be Had Cynthia, after the ir ritating manner of engaged girls, dragged forth some obscure affair from the past? Was the dear girl laboring under a hallucination, or had "disinterested" friends sought to poison her innocent mind with vicious gossip? The question flew through his mind in lightning panorama, be wildering, dazing, in turn, with their possible answer. At last he drew up pen. ink and paper, and, in sheer desperation. dashed down the following;. Darling Cynthia: "Your letter has shocked me be yond expression, and I refuse to be lieve in Its seriousness. You are playing a practical joke on me, and perhaps even now are laughing at my plight and writing to make things clear! "If, on the other hand, you are in earnest, then I demand an explana tion as my right. Our relations have been too dear, too deep and sacred to allow of any such flippant and summary dismissal. Please indicate the time and place for an early meeting, and believe me, As always, "JACK." Davison sealed, stamped, addressed and dispatched his letter within the following five minutes Then he waited exactly two hours for a re ply. It came in a single line: "My letter was final. Heartbrok enly. CYNTHIA." Davison zround his teeth savagely. turned white as a sheet and picked up his hat. It was just three-thirty and Saturday. He would go straight to the Haskill's and have it out, face to lace. But half way there, he re called the fact, abruptly, that this was Cynthia's club day and she would not De at nome. He recalled at the same instant, with a flash of insDira- tion. that she had said the meeting ouia De witn Florence urayson. Ten minutes later Davison occu pied an inconspicuous seat in the corner of the park seven squares up town. Five minutes after that Cynthia, radiant in mauve chambry rustled by. almost within touching distance or mm. Her face was de void of its usual delicate bloom and there were violet shadows under tho brown eyes to match the violets drooping about the wide, soft brim of her hat. Davison rose, and. without a word, matched his step with hers. "Let's come to the point at once, Cynthia." he began, gravely, ignoring l.er little exclamation of protest. "If there is anything wrong "You mustn't ask me; indeed, you must not." And she shook her head violently, though her lips were trembling beyond control and her eyes were wistful with shadows. Davison bit his lips angrily. His voice was several shades deeper than Cynthia ahd ever heard it, when he spoke. "I was determined to see you and drag the truth from you." he said, "deeming it my right to know, but He paused and looked at her long and earnestly. "I've reached the conclusion that It is really better for me to go on in ignorance. I shall re-enlist in the army and sail on the next transport for Manila." "Jack'" The girl stopped short, every atom of color gone from her cheek". "I won't I won't hear of it!" The words choked in her throat and her eyes filled. Then, all at once she pulled herself together and said resolutely: "I shall tell you the whole truth. Jack. I had made up my mind to keep silent from pride, with a great, big P. But but of course, I cannot let you go, believing me I hardly know what, or what not. Last night I went into Martin's for supper with Fred Humphrey. At the table just behind us were a party of four the Elwoods and. the Thorpes. They were discussing our engagement, and one of the ladies sneeringly observed that it was well that the Davisons knew nothing of the fact that Mrs. Haskill's great uncle was a barber." "Is that all?" Davison heaved a prodigious sigh of relief. "Isn't it sufficient?" "Hardly." "You don't understand. Jack. It seems an insignificant thing, but- it is the keynote to an ever-widening circle in this narrow little social world of ours, and I well, I did what I thought was best." Davison made a gesture of diagust. "What kind of love do you call that?" he demanded curtly. "You give me up for good and all just because "I loved you too much to bring anything disagreeable ito your life," interposed Cynthia, gently. Davison burst into laughter. "You are a Quixotic little Idiot, Cynthia. Here is your destination, by the way. Shall I wait around a couple of hours or come to the house at the usual time tonight?" "Neither. I'll call you up at 6." And with a backward smile she dis appeared between the flaming beds of flowers. Davison returned to his office In a THE EVENING STORY j rejuvenated frame of mind. The en tire day's work had been ruthlessly neglected and he applied himself diligently to the stack of mail on his desk. Six o'clock came even sooner than he expected, and when the bell over his shoulder gave a prolonged, imperative ring, he Jumped up eagerly. The girl's first words stunned him "Good-bye," she said. "I'm leaving m fifteen minutes for New Orleans. The Hawtreys sail from there on Tuesday, as I told you, and my pass age is already engaged." "And this is all the farewell I'm to have. Cynthia?" "My mind was made up, dear, and I didn't dare run the risk of letting you see me again. It it is for the best, believe me." Without comment Davison calmly hung up the receiver. He jammed his hat over hs eyes and ran down three flights of steps to the street. His runabout stood at the curbing. He stepped In and whizzed off at speed limit toward the station. Seven minutes later he was elbowing his way through the scurrying crowds towards the ladies' waiting room, we found her at a news stand, glancing idly through a periodical. What do you mean Dy running away from me in this fashion?" "Oh. Jack," she said reproachfully, 'why did you?" "Because you are mine, and I've a perfect right "I should have written to you and and explained everything." The girl sat down weakly on the bench nearest her, her face ablaze with scarlet. "You can have no conception of the mortification I was forced to endure should have had to endure always "This doesn't sound like your old, practical broad minded self. Cyn thia." "It is a new side to me, the proud side, dear, which you've never had an opportunity of observing before." "Pride be dashed. And you'll never get aboard this train, Cynthia." "Indeed?" Her black brows went up with a touch of challenge. "Indeed. I'm going to prove to you how utterly ridiculous your theory Is. Would you send me away If you knew my ancestors were plain people?" "Certainly not." "But you are relieving me of the burden of yourself "Oh! But the way they said it, Jack a barber!" Under cover of the dusk Davison slipped a surreptitious arm about her waist. "My grandfather was a butch er!" he said happily. And Cynthia tore up her ticket. (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Lit erary Press. Subpoena the Shark.

The Spaniard damned us for one new custom in particular when we went into business in Manila. We didn't take well to the siesta hour. It was no part of our business curricu lum. Also it was one of the few local things that the American absolutely refused to taice into consideration by dovetailing it into his commercial In stitution and bylaws. Promptly at the noon hour in -he early days in Philip pine cities merchants scurried home behind their liveried coachmen, while their employes ducked along out of the sun or rain to their boarding places. The store or office, as the case might be, wai locked up tight. It so remained while the force dined and took its afternoon nap. About 3 o'clock the commercial world awakened again, rubbed its bloodshot eyes, rinsed its mouth of a dark brown taste, and erouchily returned to the tasks at the desk or behind the counter. Nowadays few stores close at noon. Ail are anx ious for the extra pesos the American hoped to get by keeping open doors at midday. Monroe Woolley, in the Bookkeeper. QUAKER MEDITATION'S.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1910. ALL FORME FARE City Commissioners Would Have LniTersal Transfer System. Will Take Up Matter With To peka Railway Company Soon. FRANCHISE MIXED. Sections Don't Agree on Issu ance of Line Transfers. People Tetition City Officials for Double-Fare Relief. If the city commissioners are able to prevail up"n the Topeka Railway com pany with enough strength to secure their lereoment to a section of the franchise relating to the giving of trai lers, the people of the city of Topeka will soon have in effect for their bene fit a univer.-al transfer system in other words a person will be able to go from tny one point on the Topeka railway to any other point for the one fare of f.ve cents. The universal transfer proposition has been a regular visitor to city ad ministrations and has been the ambi tion of every councilman since the street railway took the r franchise, but under the new commission form of govern -r.ent where five commissioners are j,aii a salary to deal diplomatically v. Ith the street car company, it is thought that some mutual agreement can be made to bring about these re sults. It is not a matter of "making" the Mr;tt car people grant the universal transfer advantages as according to law th city nas no right to change or alter the present franchise. The To peka Railway company has the city tied up in this matter and nothing can be done ever, though the city wished to change and cut out a number of sec tors. May Secure Concession. Rut it is believed that the city com missioners "ill be able to secure this concession from the railway people at kasl the matter will be taken up In a short time. In lieu of the fact that the section of the franchise pertaining- t this transfer system is in a doubtful condition as to its lesrul translation, it is thought that additional pressure may be- bro.isht to bear to bring forth the results. A number of the city commissioners rave been receiving It-tiers lately from reople over different sections of the city. These letters have been written with the intention of "retting togeth er" with the street railway company arid arranging for the universal transfer rlan. Unlike former unsigned letters f eekinK, blood and hollering for revenge, these letters are sisrnel uitd simply ask for a "square deal." For instance, one has come from people living on the Fourth street line. It costs them 10 cents to go from the i'ontinental creamery district to the asylum section of the city. This cost unless they walk over to the Sixth ave nue line. When a person wants a car mast it is during bad weather and aJ walk of this distance is inconvenient. Likewise, letters mention the fact that to go from along the Sixth avenue line to the Presbyterian church and out Eighth avenue a person must pay 10 cents or wait-for the right car. From Eighth avenue to Christ's hos pital and from the hospital to Wash burn college all of these changes make a double fare necessary. In section 764 of the street railway franchise with the city concerning the issuing of transfers, appears the following paragraph: said railway shall not charge more than five cents for transporting a passenger upon a continuous trip from any one point on its line of rail way to any other point thereon within the said city." This looks very much like the city would be able to demand that the paragraph be carried out and univer sal transfers be issueo. But farther flown into the section there Is another provision which acts as a soothing syrup to this statement. It says: said railway shall issue transfers over its line a? said term SAMPLE SHOE SALE 3000 Pairs Men's, Women's, Children's Oxfords AT LESS THAN MANUFACTURERS COST $15 $1.98 $8 $19819 fC. tmm 'WL ft -fev Men's So. 00 Ox- (HO AO Men's S3. 50 Ox- filQ AO TVTan'c 9 n SVirtoo iff 4 M tk at. lj I -SO Misses' $2.00 and $2.50 Patent Ankle Scrap $1.48 Childs' Oxfords.. .5 to 8, 90c-8 to 11, $1.15-11 to 2, $1.39 OTHERS TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION -Come and See! ston Slioe S 5 14-KANSAS 'line' is above defined, from any branch to any one point or any other branch, which transfers shah not be transferable, but shall be valid only for passage by the person to whom issued for ten minutes from the time of their issuance or until the arrival of the first connecting car; provided, that no such transfer shall be used on next adjacent parallel lines of said company." This looks both favorable and un favorable and from the sentiment of the city commissioners, it appears that it is better to ask for a universal plan than to demand it. With the hearty co-operation of every man. woman and child in Topeka, the commission ers will approach the street railway company and ask for this concession. SHOT AT A SHERIFF. Rioting Miners Make Things Lively for Officials. Scranton, Pa., May 24. A riot broke out among striking miners at Xo. 14 colliery of the Pennsylvania Cal company near Pittston today fol lowing an attempt of a posse of a state police, headed by Sergeant Hen ning to disperse a crowd of Italians who threatened others when a work train reached the colliery. Sheriff Rodda of Lucerne county hurried to the colliery and was shot at, but escaped the bullets, though a thrown coupling pin gave him a scalp wound. One foreigner, Peter Sura, was so badly clubbed by state police men that he may die. State Trooper Jasper of Tedach was caught under his horse, which was felled by a blow on the head, and was badly clubbed beroe other troopers drove off his assailants. The riot was finally quelled and an other one broke out at the Kwen col liery, a mile away, but the rioters there dispersed when troopers arrived. The strike spread today to the But tler, the Hillside and the Central col lieries of the Pennsylvania Coal com pany, leaving only the Barnum mine of that company in the Pittston dis trict at work. Already 10,000 mine workers are involved, the trouble be ginning several days ago with the men striking at Xo. 9 colliery because of alleged excessive dockage and short weighing. The board of conciliation of the United Mine Workers at a ses sion yesterday disapproved the strike. SENDS FORMAL REPLY. British Foreign Office Answers Tele grams ot Condolence. New York, May 24.

The league in its letter says it deep ly regrets that by his recent expedi tion, "during which large numbers of mammals and brids were destroyed for what were termed the purposes of science, but which we must think pri marily were purposes of mere amuse ment, you have given world wide en couragement to that senseless lust of slaughter which is misnamed sport."

Send Ont Two Thousand Cards to All Farts of Kansas. SIXTY LOYAL FIRMS. Boosters Are in Jobbers" and Manufacturers' Body. Big Aviation Meet Will Prove Strong Drawing Card. Invitations to "Merchants' Week" are being printed, and will go out over the state this week. It is expected that there will be at least 2,000 merchants of Kansas who will take advantage of the hospitality of Topekans. The aviation meet will be the great drawing card this year as each merchant will be given a free admission ticket to the grounds. Travelling men are doing mucj to advertise the aviation affair and Mer chants' Week, and they are also plan ning to advertise the great Topeka State Fair, in the same manner. The Topeka Chapter of the United Com mercial Travellers has gone so far as to offer assistance in spreading the news of all the events, which have to do with the Kansas State Fair asso ciation. In respect to Merchants' week, the latest news is the decision made by the officials of the association to utilize both the lower floor of the Commerce building and the Commercial club rooms as Merchants' week headquar ters. The vacant store room on the first floor will be utilized as the place of registration. The big room will be divided off into about 60 booths. 5x6 feet each, which will be presided over by representatives of the individual business establishments represented ift the Jobbers and Manufacturers' asso ciation. To Show Products. Representatives of the various firms occupying the booths will give the vis itors the glad hand and will explain in detail the goods which they manufac ture or handle, but there will be no so liciting of orders whatsoever. All booths will be tastefully decor ated, so as to make a good impression upon the visitors, and some of the business men are anticipating to spare no pains in making their respective booth attractive. "We are going to call on the mer chants," said one of the members of the decoration committee, "and ask each firm to do some decorating. We will take orders for the amount of bunting they will require and then we will secure the bunting from the low est bidder." Large posters, 28x42 inches, are be ing printed in colors, bearing the words, "Welcome Merchants." They will be put up in conspicuous places through the city and other features will be introduced which will make it impossible for a casual observer not to know that there is something doing In Topeka.

The members are not only financing the merchants' week but are giving of their valuable time towards helping with the arrangements, so that it will be possible to make a good impression upon the visitors. There has probably been no other event in Topeka during the last few vears which has clone so much to give Topeka advertising of the right kind. Merchants who have enjoyed the three days of entertainment for the past two years have gone back to their respec tive towns and villages telling about the roval manner in which they were iMit ertained and speaking a good wori for the capital city every opportunity which presented itself.

IN SOME FUTURE TIME Think Land May Be Used For Airship Tests. Hylt Buys Covill Tract at 400 an Acre. Although the aviation meet this year will be held on the state fair grounds instead of on the Taylor tract of 160 acres, north of Garfield park, as orig inally planned, there is some talk of going ahead and buying the Taylor place as an investment and with the possibility that when secured the fu ture auto and airship fests may be held there. E. E. Olinger secretary of the Civic club, one of the three who solicited funds for the purchase of the land, is in favor of this movement. Fred Voiland, his co-worker, is out of the city today. Fred Morns, the other of the solicitors, appears to put up the proposition to Olinger. The latter says that $10,000 in subscriptions have been raised, and feels that the re mainder of the $35,000 could be secured in a reasonable time. He thinks that the owners of the ground would con sider the proposition. The option on the land expires June 8. If before that time $15,000 could be raised, the owners had expressed willingness to wait any reasonable time for the balance. This agreement was made while the aviation meet was scheduled for that location. They had also said that if the en tire $35,000 was raised before then, they would accept 40 cents on the dol lar per subscripition, but if not the $15,000 must be paid in full. How ever, many subscribed under the im pression that only 40 per cent of their subscripition cash would be required any way. and were unable to meet their obligations in full. This cut the $15,000 which was reported to have been raised down to about $9,000. However, since then, according to Mr. Olinger, nearly $10,000 has been sub scribed. The future of the deal will be de termined later, probably at the next meeting of the Civic club. Whatever Is done about the propo sition, the sentiment on the North side today is that no one should feel dis couraged because the aviation meet was not secured for the Taylor tract. A spirit of optimism prevails. The business men and others realize that they have made a good showing in se curing the amount they d.'d, and know that their efforts brought their section of Topeka into notice as nothing else would have done. And they have learned what can be accomplished through combined persistent effort. The matter has done much to elim inate the "Kaw line", and it is not im probable that the North side will be largely represented -In attendance, at the aviation meet, although held across the river. Alfred Hylt, who has been living on the Hedderman farm, north of To peka, has bought the 15-aere Xelson Covill farm, four miles west of To peka. The consideration was $6,000, or $400 an acre. The place contains an orchard and is well improved. The house has been made as near modern as is possible for a farm residence to be. It was built by Mr. McCormick, one of the original owners of the place. It then fell into the hands of one of the Paynes, who sold it to R. J. Jud kins about ten years ago. Mr. Jud kins lived there about two years and sold it to Mr. Covill. The former is now on a farm at Corcoran. Cal. R. R. Rodgers. a farmer living two miles north of Kiro. reports that he caught 400 pounds of fish in a flooded field after the heavy rain Friday night. The water came from Soldier creek. The Santa Monica. Cal., papers tell how Earl Gilman, a former North side boy. son of the late Phil Gilman who lived on the Kansas avenue road, got ahead of the city fathers. He had bought a strip of ocean beach and thereon had erected a casino. He in tended to erect smaller stands on the ground when the city council one Sat urday night introduced an ordinance that no building costing $50 or over couW be erected on the land as a meas ure to prevent costly fires. However, between Saturday night and Sunday morning carpenters secret ly constructed many ornamental stands for the boy, and by Sunday morning they were in place on the beach. Each had cost only $49.88. Community Comment If a landlady wishes to insure an early attendance of all of her boarders i I This: The Suit!

AD MEN HEAR HIM. Lewis II- Scurto:k ot Kansas City De livers Address. "TV: ring the past two years mncn has been done to elevate advertising as a profession." asserted Lewis H. 5curIock. president of the Provident Lan-i company of Kansas City, in the course of an address before a well at :ndd meeting of the Topeka Adver- t:s:n club. There is no line of business which r, si3 more expert3 an has real Ti who know' than the advertising -i-r,;Si.-.n." continued Mr. Scurlock. 'Th million which have been thrown aw'iv through ignorance is appalling. 1: wY.I be impossible to stop this los.- f :r n-.ar.y years unless there is a united .in i combined effort to do so. Many of our best publishers have taken the right step forward when they refuse to" aocett the advertising o- anything which will not "oear investigation. "When the advertising department and th editorial department get on speakir.g terms, we can Look for im provement. Some newspapers are con ducted on the plan. "Let to( the right hand know what the left one doeth." nrst Man Wa Honest. "The man who did the first adver tising was honest in my opinion. He had something to selL Hi believed he could sell it faster by using printers ink than by going to sendinr salesmen try ee his customers. His product had marit. Ke believed in it He could conscientiously tell the truth about it. He advertised guardedly at first. He founi it paid. His customers soon came to find out that his product came up to his representations made in his advertising. The news spread. His business grew until the product of this man' factory is a byword in ever household. He succeeded. Why? Be cause he founded hi3 business upon facts and truth which are as lasting an i enduring as the rock ribbed hills of ancient Judea. "Contrast with this successful ad vertiser, the cunning competitor, a close student of advertising and its psychological effect upon so-called hu man nature. The Golden Rule idea of business is unknown in his make-up. He put3 an article on the market sim ilar in every way to the one mentioned an i accepted as standard It cost to manufacture half the money. His rep resentations place it above everything in its line as to quality and merit. His advertisements, newspaper, mail order, billboard, in every conce'vabie form fiash out over the entire country. "Success apparently comes Immedi ately others want the short route to wealth one new thin?1 comes so fast after the other that ihe public can't keep up. The new things don't ail last like" the standard goods which have al ways met requirement Failure over takes many. Millions of dollars are asted annually in the short cut to health schemes while the business firm "rich sticks close to the truth aids t its advertising appropriation from year to year while its stockholders get Larger dividends. "I can see only two remedies to cor rect the evils of the business and that is. education and elimination. We are unconsciously, perhaps, working to ward these ends at present. A great deal of educational work has been done during the past two years. The associated advertising clubs, with meetings of this kind, briny members of the profession, so to speak, in. dose t j?

"No man wants to be dishonest and have the public know. We can edu cate much of the crookedness out of the business. Those we can't get out that way we will have to dispose of by elimination. Make it so unpleasant and hard for every crook in the game that he will either reform or quit. To do these things we must educate the public that advertising is a legitimate method cf securing business that it is not the grafter's short road to wealth. We must cause it to feel that the pro fession as a whole is composed of men of integrity and ability to do big things honorably. "No matter what is being adver tised, let it be genuine- give it the ring of truth and back it up with facts. When the public comes to the point where it has confidence in the adver tisements it may read, the millions which will be saved from cost of dis tribution will go a long way toward Allevianns the sociological evils of na tions."

This is decision day with the state railroad board and it is expected that a decision will be made in the express rate case this, evening favorable to th. content.on f r a reduction in rates. A- to how much this reduction will be is not known, the schedules cf proposed iower rates will have to be worked out. The suit was brought before th- board by John Dawson, its attorney, in which z. petition was made for reduc tions averaging 25 per cent. The rate on certain articles ia 50 per cent too high, according to the arguments of Mr. Dawson, while on other arti.-Ies no reduction at ail was aked. It was especially urged that a considerable re duction be made upon renairs for agri cu.tura; implements which in most cases have to be rushed to the factory and back to the farmer by express. It is expected that the express com panies will appeal this case to the higher courts as they did in the suits brought for lower rates by Oklahoma. Texas. Nebraska and Missouri. WOOD AGAIN NAMED.

The bullet hit the little boy In the muscle o the leg Just below the knee and made a painful arid dangerous wound. The boy was standing on the side valk ta king- with two- other boys when the shat was fired. The boya were laughing and jonying each other when a shot was heard just to the north and immediately Charles Kohfcerg screamed and sank to the ground. The other boys, whose names could cot be learned ran to the uarec bouse and spread the news. Dr. H. H- Keith was summoned a: once and carried the youngster to his heme in his automotive. It was found that the bullet had lodged in tne mus cle of the leg and from appeaxancea it was from a g-jn of 22 caliber. There are a number of houses along this street but the small boy coenpan iens of Charles P.ohberg fai.ed to look to the place from whence came the shot. According to their statements to Dr. Keith the shot was heard in the north. The hoy was scar-din.?- facing the east and thi shot IcJeed iu his left leg.

AIRING ALASKA ROW. Senate Subcommittee Opens TTp an Investigation. Washington. May 24. An investigation which is expected to disclose to a greater extent than ever before the bitter faction al feeling in tne Republican party in Alaska was begun today before a sub committee of tne senate committee on judiciary. It is being fceid in connection with che pretests made against the con firmation of John P.astgard and Herbert L. Faulkner, appointed by President Taft as United States attorney and United States marshal respectively to succeed John O. Boy.-e and Daniel A. Sutherland who were removed at the request it is understood of Governor V alter E. Clark. Senator Nelson is chairman cf the sub committee and associated with him axe Senators Eorah and Crverman. The pro ceedings today were highly sensational, representatives of the opposing tactions were present and listened to the charges eath aide made against the otaer. The principal speaker today was Delegate James Wickersham. who made charges against Governor Clark. ex-Governor Hogsatt and Loui3 Shackelford. the member of the Republican national com mittee from Alaska. The Alaskan dele gates sought to connect these men with the Guggenheim interests- As to the exaot testimony given today little could be learned. Senator Nelson after an adjournment had been ordered until Thursday, caution ed the witnesses against revealing the executive proceedings. It is expected how ever that Senators Borah and Overman will recommend public hearings. The con troversy is said to be chiefly between factions opposing the activities of the Guggnheims in Aiaska and that which favors the rapid development o the ter ritory. The men who were removed from office charse that Governor Clark has become affiliated with the Guggenneun fiction and that he joined with National Commit teeman Shackelford in recommending the appomtment of Rustgard and Faulkner. Just before the committee adjourned to ilaT a young man named Douglass, who '"ad been an auditor in tne employ cf the Gugxen helms was called to the stand. He teT-i.ed that $7l.oi) had been expended prior and durine the Kazey trial and he charged that the expenditures had been made for the entertainment of Jurors and otherwise as a corruption fund to defeat the prosecution by reuerai ccieers.

Three alleged burglars were arrested by the police last night and that the dragnet did not result in a larger catch was not the fault of the officers. In all six houses where tt was believed burglars would be found were searched by officers. The search wa3 fruitless. Probably the biggest catch was made when the officers nabbed James Hig gins. charged with stealing a 1150 dia mond ring, the property of C. R. Swift. Both Swift, who lost the ring, and H:g gins. charged with stealing it, were in mates of the Santa Fe hospital. Swift Is said to have left the ring tn the washroom. Higgins got it from there, according to the police. After a search which lasted all day the police finally located the ring in the Van Lay pawn shop at 422 Kansas avenne. Higgins had soid the ring there, it is charged, for J15- The police believe they have an all round bad man in Everett Johnson. Johnson was arrested foe passing a bad check on Mrs. Annie Trapp. The check? were signed by the proprietor of the National hotel, according to the name written on them and made payable to Edward Johnson. He tried to use a check on Gordon Bros, in payment for a loan he had secured by pawning i watch. While the pawnbrokers were calling up the National hotel to learn if the" check was gtjod Johnson seized the watch and ran out. "ohnson also had three men work ing for him securing advertising for a Y. M. C. A. booklet. They were to re ceive S3 per day for their work but Johnson had only J1.S0 when arrested. He is also believed to have robbed the boarding house of "Mother" Hull on Monroe street last week. Charles Johnson, who did not answer the questions asked about his occupa ti n to the satisfaction of the officers, is in the lockup and the charge of "vagrancy" is opposite his name. He is beina- investigated by the ofScer-s on the theory that he has "burgled." a little during his stav in Topeka. G. H. Matthews is under arrest -on the charge of petty larceny. It is charged that he stole a bicycle belong ing to Walter Cramer. The wheel was taken from a building in the Rock Island yards. In addition to this Sergeant Carden recovered $S on a board bill owed at St. Marys by a young man named An derson. The police were asked to catch him as he passed thrtragh Topeka and the Union Pacific morning train. Car den caught the yoong fellow, got he monev and mailed It to the St. Marys landlord. Chief Jenkins says, the police will continue to work at ridding the town of crooks. Ail suspicious characters will be chased promptly, according to his statement. HEARING A YOTE.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 24, 1910. IS STILLON MOVE Wagstaff in Topeka for an Hoar Today. Says That He Is Pleased With Reception. MEETINGS ARE LARGE. Everywhere Is Given a Cordial Greeting. People of State Are Enthusiastic for Taft. Tom Wagstaff, Republican candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, ar rived in Topeka at 10 o'clock and left at 11:50 for Ellsworth over the Union Pacific. He had spent Sunday at his home in Independence after a whirlwind campaign of ten days in 15 western counties of the state. While in the city he spent a busy two hours with his campaign managers and friends. Mr. Wagstaff says he is feeling fine. The strenuous work of the camptVrn seems to agree with him. The Wag- staff smile is as fresh and engaging as the day he announced his candidacy. The Wagstaff voice is still hearty and conf.ie t and the Wagstaff handshake is a thing to conjure with when it tomes to getting votes. In an inters view given at the Union Pacific station while waiting for his train Just before dinner, Mr. Wagstaff talked about his western trip, his reception at the big and little towns, his prospects, etc. His manner and the tones of his voice and the look of his face while talking go as far as his words to convince the hearer that he had a satisfactory reception in the west. His heart is in the game and his soul is full of confidence. It shows in his eyes when he talks. He is a real live wire of enthusiasm, this little man from the big Third district. He im presses one with his magnetism. The warmth of his reception in Ford and Finney and Hamiliton counties still lingers with him and radiates out from him when he talks of his delightful ex periences of the past ten days. "I had the finest time of my life on that trip," he said. "It was so far ahead of anything I had expected. I tell you it warmed my heart to see tho boys co-ne down to the depot with a warm and hearty greeting that could not be mistaken. And after my speeches they would crowd up to the platform and nearly mob me. It's a great old state, is Kansas, and that western country is a delight for tired eyes. Tou cannot travel over tht country without becoming impress -d with its beauty, its vastness and the boundless prospects of its future. "Where did I have my best meeting? Really, I cannot tell you. I thought that the Reno and Pratt meetings would hold the record, but that was be fore I reached Stafford, or St. John, or Syracuse, or Garden City. Whether I win or not. I will never forget the great reception the boys gave me at all these places. Then at the little stations alon the way, Just whistling stations, and there would be a score or more of voters down to the depot to meet me. We had not planned to hold a meeting at all at Medicine Lodge, but they called one on the spur of the moment at 1.30 in the afternoon, and they packed the hall, and it was one of our best meetings. "The reports sent in about the recep tion committees at the depot at Syr acuse and Garden City was not cam paign dope. Not by any means. I was astonished at the enthusiasm at those places. At Garden City there was a delegation of some 25 voters from the railroadless counties with an invita tion for me to make an auto trip through their country. They promised me some real meetings if I would come. I was very sorry to have to tell them that it was impossible at this time. Not "Slinging Mud." "They may talk about me slinging mud at Stubbs and making it a per sonal campaign, but there is no grain of truth in these stories. I have not time to abuse Governor Stubbs. even if I had the inclination. The people I am talking to want figures, and facts about the conduct of state affairs. No string of figures sounds dry to them. They eat up statistics and listen eagerly and attentively to all I have to say about revision of the taxes downward. "When I mention Taft's name it is always the signal for an ovation. They can talk about this being an insurgent state all they want to, but they would change their tune if they could have made that trip with me through the west. I tell you that the Kansas people are for Taft and his policies and they will demonstrate their allegiance at then August primaries. "When you ask me for de'ails of my meetings I can only tell you that they are alike. The people are enthusiastic all along the line and I have found a marked change of sentiment among hundreds of Stubbs men in every com munity from their feelings two years ago at this time. At every reception I have held on depot platforms and in halls after the meetings dozens of men F.rastp my hand and tell me they were ior stutDS two years ago, but that now they are for me and are doing every thing they can to insure my nomina tion. They have had enough of Stubbs, they say. Says He Is Confident. "I cannot help feeling confidence and enthusiasm over my campaign in the face of tfuch splendid demonstrations all along the line. Why my reception in the west would wake up an Egyptian mummy, and I was pretty wide awake w hen I started out." And here Wag staff smiled that broad, happy, engag ing smile, different from the Stubbs laugh in that it was noiseless, but rr.ake3 you smile with him. "They are prosperous, too. out in western Kansas," continued Mr. Wag staff. "I saw some of the -finest wheat fields out there I ever saw in my life. And only at one place in the Cheyenne valley did I see any poor- wheat that had been hurt by the winter weather. At Pratt they have a land of milk and honey. I went out there for a walk befcre breakfast and met an automobile man who declared that he had sold seven machines tha; morninfr. At a pic- r-ic in Pratt county I saw 12 auto loads of farmers and their families. "My hands are calloused from shak ing hands with so many .people. They take hold of you like they meant it. I nm having a splendid time and enjoy ing every minute of the day. Tell the boys I am going to win. I feel it. Just cannot help it after that western trip." And Mr. Wagstaff swung aboard his train with a parting smile and hand shake that bespoke eloquently his feel ing of high confidence as he started off cn his second campaign trip. He spoke t Ellsworth last, night. Spring chix and dressed hens. Cope's. FOUR "AMERICAN BEAUTIES" OF WASHINGTON. -X I if II A 7 ,r4y V XX Washington, May 24. Among the younger social set few are more widely known or more popular than Miss Edith Burnham, daughter of United States Senator Burnham of New Hampshire: Miss Nancy Johnson, daughter of United States Congressman Johnson of Kentucky; Miss Ethel Clapp, daughter of United States Senator Clapp of Minnesota, and Miss Eloise Hughes, daughter of United States Congressman Hughes of West Virginia.

Washington. May 24. After an ex tended debate the proposed $250,000 appropriation to defray the expenses of the tariff board, recommended by the president, was stricken from the sundry civil appropriation bill in the house. This action resulted from a decision by Representative Mann of Illinois, who was in the chair, sustaining a Doint of order made bv Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, who contended that there was no law authorizing such an appropriation. In order to meet the objection to, the tariff board on the part of many Democrats and some Re Dublicans. Mr. Tawney proposed an other amendment which appropriated $250,000 for the same purpose with the added provision that it was "to enable the president to give to con gress information of the state of the union and recommend to their consid eration such measures as he shall Judge necessary and expedient," etc. Under this wording of the measure, it is understood the president should send to congress information which may be collected under the proposed appropriation. By leaving out of the amendment all reference to the tariff board, which already exists, it was hoped that the provision would come within the rules of the house and would not be subject to a point of order. Representative Fitzgerald promptly made a point of order against the new amendment, and pending his argument upon it, the house adjourned. ROOSEVELT RESTING. His Throat Still Troubles Him and Voice Is Husk. London. May 24. Mr. Roosevelt is enjoying the Quietest time thus far of his European tour and is getting some thing like a real rest.

Tiliotson Settled Account at City Hotel in Holton. Regarding the article in the State Journal Monday concerning the failure of Cape. F. H. Tiliotson, the defective convicted of kidnaping Marian Bleakley from Topeka, to pay his hotel bill while in Holton, J. H. Johnston, proprietor of the City hotel, has written to this pa per staling that the bill has all been paid and there is no further trouble. Mr. Johnston's letter to the State Journal reads as follows: Tc the Topeka State Journal. In Monday's issue of the State Journal I read an article regarding the check Captain' Tiliotson gave to me to defray his hotel bill during trial held in our town. In Justice to Captain Tiliotson, wish you would kindly publish the facts. Sure enough the check, to the agency ii'dorse-J by Captain Tiliotson, given to me by Caiptain Tiliotson, was protested, but when he arrived Monday morning in Holton and came into the hotel, I informed him about the check, he was greatly astonished. He' at once settled the account with me. J. H. JOHNSTON, Landlord of City Hotel. BIG NAVAL PROGRAMME. Senate Votes an Appropriation Ap proximating $134,000,000. Washington, May 24. The senate has rssed the naval appropriation bill. The bill carries an appropriation of almost $134,000,000. Two important amend ments were adopted. One of them, of fered by Senator Johnston, appropriates $450,000 for the purchase of torpedo boats "whose vitals are below the nor mal load line." The other, by Senator Jones, eliminates railroad, county and municipal ponds from the securities which may be deposited by contractors. The naval increase for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, provided by the till, is as follows: Two first class battleships to cost not exceeding six million dollars each, and when equipped with armor and armament about $12,500,000 each. Two fleet colliers to cost not exceed ing $1,000,000 each. Five submarine tor pedo boats not exceeding a total or $2, 500,000. Six torpedo boat destroyers to cost rot exceeding $750,000 each. WAS NOT SIR. MI RESELL. Fredonia Lawyer Victim of a Peculiar Mistake. On May 7 a story sent out under a Topeka date line, erroneously connect ed the name of Mr. E. D. Mikesell with a case decided on that date in the Kansas supreme court. The story stated that the court had decided, in a case appealed from Wil son county, that when a Jointist has been pardoned from Jail the county must pay the costs. The following sentence occurred in the story: "In this case E. D. Mikesell was pardoned by the governor, but the county refused to release him unless he would pay $1,300 costs." It develops that the correspondent who prepared the story erroneously connected it with another case of dif ferent character entitled The Board of County Commissioners of Wilson Coun ty vs. W. D. Mikesell." Mr. Mikesell is an attorney at law at Fredonia, Kan. The story above re ferred to, which intimates that he had been sentenced to the county Jail and been pardoned therefrom, proves to have been incorrect and does Mr. Mikesell a grave injustice. The decision of the supreme court re ferred to an entirely different case and it in no way involved Mr. Mikesell. MOTION TO QUASH VACATED. A New One Entered in the Brown Bribery Case. Chicago.

A r-nm. mittee representing the San Francisco church federation and the Pastors uuiuh win attend this afternoon a meeting of the police committee of the board of supervisors at which action is expected to be taken on Promoters mcKara and Gleason's petition to hold the Jeffries-Johnson fight here July 4. The churchmen say they will make a determined, effort to have the aDDli cation turned down. This step in the crusade being waged by the anti-fight forces was determined upon last night ai a conterence in the Hamilton Square Baptist church. J. E. White, attorney ior the church federation submitted a report of the investiga tion he has made concerning the con ditions which have made it possible ior tne promoters to arrange for the contest. He suggested in the event of the crusade failing to find support from the proper authorities, that legal measures be taken to thwart the stag ing of the fight in this city. Jack Johnson is greatly pleased by the weight reducing results of his daily road work and he says he in tends to stick to that form of exer cise. The negro champion, who has tak en much interest in the comet, last night entertained a party of star gaz ers at his training quarters but was disappointed by the heavy fog that veiled the sky. Ben Lomond, Calif., May 24. Jim Jeffries gave it out yesterday that he intended to take things easily this week. According to his announce ment, only the lightest kind of exer cise will be indulged in. Road work accompanied by sprinting will be kept up regularly, but it Is thought likely that the big fighter will have little to do with the gloves until Jim Corbett arrives next week. The report that Corbett will not have his quarters at the camp here is denied by Jeffries training compan ions. It is said that accommodations are now being prepared for 'Fompa dour Jim," and that there was no likelihood of friction between Corbett and any other member of the camp. News from the city that Jack John son mav be a spectator at Jeffries' boxing tournament in San Francisco next Friday night has stirred up con siderable interest here but the camp is not inclined to take Johnson's re ported intention seriously. All. how ever, are anxious for the negro to he on hand. They assert that it would have a discouraging effect on Johnson for him to see how fast the former champion is in his work. t a-,i I MToif 9 4 Threats JL-T 3 AllgCICO, v ex r n.imtnni n.noaar1inFrq against all who attend the Jeffries-Johnson fight i ...dt that stafe officials do not prevent the contest were made today in resolutions aaoptea Dy tne An geles church federation.

Southern Presbyterian lTrsed to Let Women Talk in Church. Lewisburg, W. Va., May 24. At first the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church was inclined to give scant consideration to the over ture of the Lafayette church of New Orleans for information as to whether or not the church still maintained its position in opposition to women ad dressing gatherings in which both men and women were assembled, but after the committee on bills and overtures was appointed, the advocates of wom en made it known they were in earn est. No women appeared to be. heard. Some men, however, are arguing that, with the Methodists. Baptists and other denominations permitting the women to speak in all assemblies, the Presbyterians are regarded as being behind the times. These advocates of. women are not Inclined to be beTfigerenl and if the commute on bills .and overtures turn them down they probably will not de mur on the floor, believing that sooner or later the assembly will relent in re gard to the rigid enforcement of si lence on women.

Welcome news reached two old soldiers of this place recently to the effect that through the efforts of Representative Miner, they, John Dancer and Joseph Gray, had been placed on the special pension list at $24 and $30 respectively. Representative Miller- deserves special credit in this matter, as-it is very dif ficult to get more than one special pen sion apportioned to one town or local ity. Representative Miller is known far and wide as the friend of the old sol dier and will undoubtedly have the solid support of the old boys at the polls again this year. IS WASHINGTON'S HEIR.

May 24 Publication of the fact that congress might pay the claims of heirs of George "Wash ington, who contend that $305,000 worth of land was taken from- them without warrant of law, has brought out a new claimant to dispute their rights. George M. Roberts of Wells ville, O., has written a letter to Rep resentative Roberts (Mass.), chairman of the house committee on private land claims, asserting that he Is the only real live heir to those long-forgotten lands of George Washington and that he wants the whole $305,000 for himself. He says he will fully es tablish his claim Just as soon as ne recovers the original documents car ried to England by John Paul Jones. Mr. Robert's letter follows: "Observing that your committee is about to award the $305,000 to the supposed heirs of George Washington, I forbid any such proceedings, for I am the only heir to that land and I will prove it when I get the original papers from England, the papers that John Paul Jones took in the Rover on his first trip. I write this as a warning, so that you will not spend the people's money unnecessarily. Pinchot Coming Home, St. Paul, May 24. A telegram was received today by Hugh Halbert, presi dent of the Roosevelt club, from Thom as R. Shipp, in Washington, stating that Glfford Pinchot was expected to return to Washington from Europe next week. The telegram also stated that Mr. Pinchot would probably de liver his long deferred address to the Roosevelt club June 11, if that date was acceptable. TODAY'S MAKKET REPORTS Chicago. May 24. WHEAT It was like a wait between the acts today in the wheat market. There was a little selling bv the operators who were so conspicuous on that side of trading yesterday, but n t enough to seem hardly more than an echo. The buying was scattered and came cruel ly from commission houses. Bears con tinued to urge putting wheat on an ex port basis but seemed to fear that .ifter the severe declines of the l.t few days the ouli leaders had reached a positi.in where stubborn fiehtinir might be expect ed. Weather and' cable advices were both bearish. Neither, however, were radical ly so. Prices started Vic lower to Vic higher, the latter for May. September opened Vfe off to Vic up at 9Sc to 9Sc and kept narrowly within that range but final lv tonohert 97c. ;-Mav was more erratic and on light trading rose lc to $1.0 dropping later to $1.07. Heavy selling, mucn oi n supposea iu oe fnr Wic Rniithwest lone turned the mar ket sharply downward. A sudden rally was caused by the purchase of a million bushels for a local short. The close, how ever, was easy with September at 97Vic, a net decline of c. ffiRV p-nir weather made corn easier. T ..i Tilt traders were selling, saitered rnmmisainn houses buvine. September onened V4c to Vic lower at wc 10 ovc and declined to 60c. Because of country sales increasing me market continued to decline. The close was easy with September at 59c, a net loss Of lVftC OATS Oats inclined xo wea-Kness uc cause of general miscellaneous selling. RoTitornhpr was lin chaneed to Vc down in the first transactions at 37V2C to 37c and fell to 3737V2C. PROVISIONS On a few purchases by packers lard and ribs advanced a trifle to $12.50 and $12.42 respectively for Sep tember. Pork weakened 5c to $22.fo for September in consequence of a recession in quotations for hogs. BARLEY-Cash: 43.'gSc. TIMOTHY Cash: $4.2o; October, $4.1o. Chicago Gram Market.

Town send refused to let tie mare go and a lively time resulted, including the ar res: 'of Lehr as a horsethief. Ey the rules of the saie ail horses to be sold were consigned to Samson, and' when knocked down, the purchase rice wa3 pa.-i t the castuer. Abe Joseph, who in turn settled with the i wr.ers. Purchasers simply took their horses from the stables and spent no time cor.gratu '.at! ng the turner own ers on the prices, so Lehr went to get Ms Berniee C. hut Townsi4 had beaten hitn to her and ied her back to his n stables on Van Euren screct There Lehr with Cashier Jot--.?ph went and ,oc he- trom the sn.blem.an and led her "vi:h tra other horses toward the fjr.ti Fe frieght depot. Once more, however. Townsend was to be encountered, for he met Lehr with police officers who arrested him a i hr-se-hie? at the ir.stince of Toot-s.-nd. :C Lehr's attorney's statement is correct. Lear, however, at the police station, convinced Chief Eaton that the lirs. v.ii nis and was re.eased. As he -.eared 'he dep.- a-rain with tha mare. Towm-eni a.giin came driving with a fust horse bringing Sheriff Wilkersor., who. rot Vnowmz of the police a'fai", agsin arrested Lehr as a horsetiiief. It finally mk Leur until 3 o'clock the rext day to get out of town with his '-rse. The sale ira? on a Saturday i' n.l he was forced to stay until Sun day. His other two horses had been snipped so that he had to ship tins one epa-a: v'y at a hiaar rate. Moreover. Mr. L"r darns t.iat by being forced to rema n in Torek. l he was prevented t-":-n re-.tcliirg Chicaco for the grat annual sa.e hell Monday fh t!ta.t city. This was made to figure largely by the .srtiori that Mr. Lerr. or "Doc" Lehr. Toiizht and sold fast torses all over the l'ni:d States and Canada, and at terded ali big sales. The cult recalls the stories axon? '"'rsc.i 'n th.Tt were circulated at the time the u:t was filed. The truth of lie affair is said to be that John Pew- r- a hor-eman himself, and employed v Lor.

Robert Hugh Morris has determined to resign from the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church of Evanston, the church of many millionaires, and one of the richest chvi.rch.e3 in the United States, caused surprise in the fashionable north shore suburb.

"Evanston is different from most communities,"' said Mr. Morris, "and I feel that I have not been ail that the congregation desired. I have asked a good many persons in my congregation if they could tell me what was wrong or the reason things did not go right. They said they had no personal objection to me. and that they like my preaching. Thafs what they all tell me. but, nev ertheless, things are not going the way thev should."

This is the day that all surplus tinware and crock ery takes wings and flies over the rear fence only to be caught and hauled away to the city dumps. Bright and early Moaday morningr. Street Commissioner Frank Snyder will treak a bottle of bromo-seltzer over the leading dump wagon and with colors fiying: the city yard cleaning fleet will slide into the alleys on. their annual mission of cleanliness. Each wagon will be manned by a crew of two strong and hearty human beings who will be prepared to gossip in a friendly way over the "red fence in the rear." In fact the whole of next week will be Topeka's annual tincan week. Thfs is the week when the city officials do nate to the citizens the use of many big refuse wagons for the purpose of collecting and hauling away free of charge the remains of the stuff that has survived the winter snows. This plan of cleaning up Topeka. in a few days originated in the fertile brain of Street Commissioner Snyder a lew years ago. Mr. Snyder conceived the plan of co-operating with the peo ple ia patting a polish on the city back jards and his first brigade resulted in enough wagon loads of trash to fill up a good sized riverbed. All the citizens have to do is to rake up thetr tin cans, broken crockery and glass ware, old stove piDes. eaves trough, chicken wire. discarded kitchen utensils and the damage done by the hired girl during the winter just gather all of this stuff together. pitcn it over the back fence in a neat little pile, and the city will do the rest. "How about grass, tra?h and ma nure?" asked a reporter of Street Commissioner Snyder this afternoon. This was a bad break. Mr. Snyder threw up his hands In despair and then. lowering his voice to a whisper, he hissedi "Please don't say that our cleaning up squadron wili accept that sort of stuff we won't do it. It is hard enough to gather tbr-can and crock ery and dodge what comes over the fence without doing this No. we will have nothing to do with refuse that can be burned." Friday morning the street force will cover orth. Topeka. Monday morn ing the force comes to the south side of the river and at once the biz yard cleaning commences. Mr. Snyder will order his men out from the city hall east, covering all of this territory. Then they will work south, then west. then into the main part of the eity again.

"We have developed from what once appeared to be a matter of choice on the part of the buying public to the point vihere we are supulying a vital necessity and must be governed in it ty a fixed duty to the public, which they can. enforce by law if not lived up to by ourselves voluntarily. "The constant downward trend in the rates caarged for electric- service is something that we are entitled fv place Fquarely before the public.

One Used by Sugar Trust for Comput ing Freights and Duties. New York. May 24. Although the government's star witness, Oliver Spitzer, the former dock master, who walked out of the Atlanta penitentiary where he had been sent after bossing for years the sugar weighing frauds on the Williamsburg dock, had a most interesting story to teU yesterday, it ia not mainly to his evidence that the government relies in its effort to con vict Charles R. Heike. the American Sugar Refining company secretary of a part in the conspiracy fraud. The government's contention that Ue- city weighers' weights were em ployed in the commercial calculations of the trust and those of the govern ment weighers made use of only for payment of duties was backed up by John A. Thompson, for the last 33 years a bookkeeper in the company's Wall street offices. The witness said, too, that despite the fact that the government weighers' returns were stored away only 15 feet from him he never ia all the years he worked in the office compared the two sets of weights. Thompson said whenever he was in doubt as to the correctness of the city weighers" returns or learned there was a difference of 2 per cent or more in "the weight he would call up Bendernagel. Late in November 1907 .there was a considerable falling of in these differences and he talked with Bendernagel about it over the telephone. "It told him there was no loss of weight in the last three months and he said it was because the govern ment agents were on the dock." Thompson testified on cross examina tion that Mr. Havemyer. the president of the company first instructed him to cali up Bendernagel when the neces sity arose. Ship Owners Were Wise. Mr. Heike knew nothing of his du ties he said. The witness had no knowledge of any crooked device on the docks. George H. Becker, a clerk in the Wall street office under the Mr. Leroy to whom Spitzer yesterday testified he had told of the frauds that were goins on at the Williams burg docks, was next on the stand. Bros. Typewriter Co. Becker succeeded Leroy when the lat ter died several years ago. thus get ting charge of the raw sugar books. He said when sugar arrived he would send the city weighers' weights and the marks on the bags to Mr. Bend ernageL Becker testified the sugar trust used the government weights quite often on w-hich to pay the freight charges, but the ehip owners became aware of the fact and the practice was stopped. This was the first testimony tending to show that the alleged frauds in underwelghing were not di rected solely against the government. Add Twenty-Five Rare Birds. New York. May 24.

Two or three months ago I wrote an article saying that men did not like for ward girls, that the forward girl by her forwardness loses not only her self respect, but also the very thing for which she is trying to trade it the admiration and love of the opposite sex. Since then I have received so many letters from girls who sav that their attempts to be self respecting and nice and their consequent unpopularity dis prove my statement, that I am going to take up the cudgels again in defense of my beliof. For it still is my belief. But, girls, I did not say that the nice girl would be very popular. I did not say that she would be the girl who would have to split up her dances and fill out a dozen extras to satisfy the admirers who crowd around her at a dance. What I said, and still affirm, is that the self respecting girl, other things being equal, has the better chance of winning the average man's admiration and love. Now please do not translate my terms "self respect" and "niceness" Into prudery. That is most emphatically what I do not mean. Nobody, man or woman, loves a prude. A prude, moreover, since she is al ways on the lookout for evil sugges tions and insults, continually finds them. Above all things, don't be a prude. Just be a nice girl, thinking no evil and expecting none. Whe.. anything with a possible double meaning is said to you, it is far better to appear not to see the allusion than to pick it up and resent it. Be jolly. Enter into all healthy fun making with your men friends as much as you can. A man likes a girl who is not for ward, but that does not mean he likes her to be stiff. Be friendly, be hearty. Be lively and alert and enthusiastic. You can be all that without being in the least forward or bold or improper, but I think that many times the girls who are trying hard not to be improper overshoot the mark and are stiff and formal. But as to its being necessary for a girl to allow her casual men friends to take liberties with her in order to win their love absolutely NO' The girls who do that sort of thing are often popular, of course, but do you want that sort of popularity? Do you want to be spoken lightly of when your men friends ar speaking of the women they know, or do you want Opening Of mid-summer millinery Wednesday, May twenty fifth. Pickens 809 Kansas Avenue. UNE Brides and Graduates to be the one of whom they will say, "She is the right sort. There is noth ing easy about her?" Do you want to be characterized as I overheard a man in the street car characterize a girl he was talking about a good deal at the time, as "a good sofa pillow?" Will compliments and the chance to go about make up for things like that? And as for the marrying part of it men sometimes approach girls in this way, and then afterwards find the girls have admirable qualities beneath the boldness, and marry them for these qualities, but never for love or admira tion of the failure to be self respecting. One girl who says she has tried very hard to be a nice girl and stigmatizes. niceness as a failure with men, ends her letter: "I realize that youth is passing quickly by with very little pleasure. I am wondering, does it pay?" Please, please don't feel that way, girls. Self respect does pay every time. Not only good men but all men ad mire it. I know of a rake, a man about town, almost what we call so glibly "a degenerate," who said, "I shall never marry. The right kind of a girl won't have me and I won't marry the other kind." Don't be too formal, toj chip-on-the-shouldery. If von aren't a mascune success, maybe it's a tendency in that direction that's to blame. Try to overcome it without going too far in the other di rection. Don't be a prude, but be a nice, jolly, self respecting girl, and I be lieve, with all my heart, your own shall come unto you and th: it will be worth waiting for. CHEERS FOR TAFT. Follow a Toast at a Yale Club Ban quet at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., May 24. Speak ing of the common idea that American colleges and universities are losing their democracy, President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, at the Southern Cali fornia club banquet said: "Increased wealth as we witness it today does not mean the loss of old ideals of democracy, either in Yale as a university or in the United States as a nation. The only chance is that the problem of conserving democracy has become greater." Dr. F. B.

Some imported hats will be includ ed In the display at Pickens' Store, 809 Kansas avenue, at their midsum mer opening tomorrow. The following is from a Kansas City paper: "At the spring musicale given at the home of Mrs. A. R. Meyer, the program was furnished by Mrs. A. S. Van Valkenbursh and Miss Margaret Fowler. Miss Fowler is acquiring physical strength and the peace of mind that goes with it. Her playing Vitali's 'Chaconne" was superior to anything she has done since her appearance this season after her re turn from Europe. The accompan iment of Miss Helen Fowler was also a dainty piece of work; As an encore Miss Fowler played alone 'The Bee' by Schubert" The present fad of veiling one ma terial with another of different texture and color is displayed In this beautiful gown of classic lines. It is of apricot mousseiine over pale pink liberty. The bodice and deep band on the skirt are embroidered in gold. Around the waist is wrapped a length' of tinted ribbon, in apricot and pink, one edge of which is finished by a narrow gold fringe. This ribbon and a broader fringe are used to produce the draped tunic ef fect of the skirt. The fringe edges the short sleeves. The square line of the corsage at the front Is softened by folds of apricot chiffon. A young man who used to live in Topeka went to seek his fortune in New York a few years ago. He strug gled along on a newspaper for awhile and then suddenly made a tremen dous hit with some of the manipula tors of the Standard Oil affairs. He was launched out on a smooth sea of coal oil and bailed up the dollars like a seasoned fisherman. A former neighbor visited him during a trip east, and it is his story that he went to his friend's office and had to pass the regulation number of guards, lackeys, outer corridors and bulwarks, and finally after wading through the nap on a half dozen velvet carpets, he found him luxuriously lounging in a richly upholstered mahogany chair, with his feet frescoed" against a hand decorated wall, and a three thousand dollar clerk taking his orders. How ever, it is now announced that the successful young man has a new boss whose voice will drown the directions of John D. Rockefeller and his un derstudies. The tyrant was born May 8, 1910, and is called Gibson Fuller Dailey.

The time for spring hats has pass ed, and the joys of buying a midsum mer hat are at hand. The new stock will be shown at Pickens' Wednesday at their formal opening.

There will be a business meeting of the 'Varsity club at 7 o'clock Thursday evening at Steinberg's hall.

In stopping the Itching attending eczema, or anv itching skin disease, with first application, poslam, the new skin remedy, at once eases all physical dda- tress and prove3 its wonderful healing j properties. It is safe to say that pos-! lam has cured more skin diseases than j t r,y rem'icy ever oiterea rar inese ins. The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne, psoriasis, herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch yield to it readily. Blemishes, such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear almost immediately when poslam is applied, the complexion being cleared over r.ight. Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent size (lor minor troubles) andtheJZjar, and either of these may be obtained at the Rosser Drug Co. or Fred A. Snow s, as well as other reliable drug stores.

At the Grand. The carpet that Margaret Anglin has in the first act of "The Awakening of Helena Richie" fell into her hands in a queer manner. The highly florid period, 1860. required a carpet of equal grandeur, and the actress found it hard to get just what she wanted. She personally visited nearly every old fashioned hotel in New York, hoping to find some discarded old carpet that would suit, but there was nothing do ing. Finally she made the rounds of second hand furniture stores, and ulti mately one hot afternoon the pro prietor of one the stores told her he had Just what she wanted, but his salesman told him that it had been sold two weeks ago to a lady residing in Albany. Miss Anglin rushed up to Albany, located the purchaser and finally feasted her eyes on the carpet that now adorns the scene. When the lady learned who wanted the carpet Only 4 Days More to have a Skirt made to order at. Tuesday Friday Saturday awe I I Pi. id w.l Wmm MSI 5-Yd. Patterns of 54-in. White Embroidery Flouncings Worth $8.00, $9.00 and $10.00 for $6.48 We bought thirteen of these five-yard lengths: enough material for a dress for miss, or by combining plain goods there's enough for a lady's entire dress. They make beautiful, dainty skirts. They were bought to sell at a special price and surely will interest every "to-be" graduate, as well as any lady wishing to possess a pretty white sum mer gown. 200 Remnants of White Goods past two weeks' sale all marked 7 v Ideal Ideas m Eatables A Semi-Weekly Suggestions to Published Every Tuesday and Friday in The State Journal From The Ideal Bakery, 121 West Sixth Street, Topeka, Kan. Vol. 1. May, 24 Those little angel food cakes are certainly getting to be popular and not without just cause either.' These cakes are the daintiest, light est, finest angel food possible to make. We use the freshest eggs. They are Iced In either chocolate or plain sugar icing. The small ones are 10c each the larger size are 26c each. Try one tomorrow. The picnic season is on and you'll find it real wisdom for -the lunch eon part, to make the Ideal, head quarters for the "eats." Our potato chips are the finest you ever tasted. They are crisp and brown with a flavor which makes you want more. You can get a whole pound for 40c and a pound of potato chips is a lot, you know. Speaking of picnics; it's an easy matter to get your sandwiches made without trouble at home. Simply find out how many you need and we'll prepare them for you. We bake our own hams, also the buns. Our new slicing machine cuts the ham in thin, uniform slices. You'll find such sandwiches much more satisfactory than the ordinary kind. A well dressed lady, in giving her order to a local groceryman, the other day said: "Give me a loaf ol Weston Bread." "I'm sorry, madam," said the clerk, "but we have only the Imi tations. We sent our wagon after i a supply of Weston Bread early this morning but it has all been eold. A look of disappointment came over the lady's face and she said: "Well, I'm sorry but nothing else will do. I'll go down to tha Ideal and get it myself. I want Weston." Little incidents like this prove that Weston bread is better than imitators can produce. It's worth even a little extra trouble to get it. We do not deliver Weston bread to the trade but instead put that extra expense into the quality of the loaf. If by some chance you haven't tasted Weston Bread you'll find it distinctly worth while to get acquainted now. Scores of people are enthusiastic about our pound cake. Scores more should be. This is something new and it deserves a trial by you. The price is 15c a pound. IT IS FOR LADIES, TOO They Can Stop Their Hair Falling Ont With Herplcide. Ladies who have thin hair and whose hair is falling out, can prevent the hair falling out, and thicken the growth, with Newbro's "Herpicide."

Let us have your order tomorrow. and Embroideries, left from our very cheap. Publication op the Housewife No. 20. Miss Edith Ingham writing for the Club Member says of home made bread: Bread, the commonest article of our food, should be the most per fect. Too often, however, this is not the case. Usually the bread maker starts the bread at any spare moment, tends to it when she has nothing else to do and bakes it when it is convenient, regardless of the condition of the loaves or the temperature of the oven. If the bread turns out right she is satis fied; she is at least resigned if it does not and attributes the failure to bad luck. Sometimes, it has been whispered, she is better satis fied as poor bread lasts longer than good. The writer then roundly scores bakers bread but evidently she has seen Weston for she adds: "A per fect loaf should measure 9 inches in length. 4 inches in width and 4 in heighth. It must be regular in shape having crusts on all sides. This condition is obtained by bak ing in individual pans. The crust should be dark golden brown and the crumb, creamy in shade. The grain must be fine and regular: the texture fragile and neither too elastic nor too crumbly. The flavor must be sweet and nutty. We have secured another lot of those fine layer figs the kind which cost you 20c to 25c In the grocery store. This last lot is the finest quality we have ever seen and they cost us a little more mon ey than the last ones we offered, but we are going to sell them at the same price: 15c a pound. Lady fingers are simply grand. They are fresh and dainty and re semble a real finger. If you have n't tried them yet you are missing a-treat. They sell for 10c a dozen, dosen. Imagine a cookie with pure hon ey for sweetening. That's the way our Honey Drops are made. They are rich, sweet and have a very noticeable honey taste.

12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1910. Tike Avktie Meet At Topeka June 7-8-9 Is one of state-wide interest. Already thousands of people are preparing to come and see for themselves the wonder of the present day Flying Machines That Fly Flying machines that you can actually look at, feel, touch, see with your own eyes and say to their chil dren in posterity, "I saw ,the Curtis flying machines from their inception I" It's something to be proud of, particularly so when it costs so little to satisfy your curiosity. I 3 T ulu.- l-,mi flit s rZr ",rir F 1 i, Vjdk-; -1 i It yf GLENN H. CURTIS AND AEROPLANE IN FIFTY MILE AN HOUR FLIGHT Glenn H. Curtiss. the Hammonrisport, N. T.. aviator. Is performing some wonderful feats with his fly ing machine. Recently on Long Island he made a circular flight of two miles in two minutes and twenty six seconds. The striking features of the Curtios aeroplane are its powerful miniature engiEe and its steadiness in Its flight. There Will Be No Disappointments Daily these machines will glide and soar over your heads toward the clouds and far away the thriil of seeing them start, seeing the aviator bid farewell to his wife, and she welcoming him back again safe is a sight you'll remember for ever and ever. ready to come your neigh bors will all be POLITICALGOSSIP. This Is a Campaign of Endless I Questions. WERE GUESTS OF PAGE. Never an Answer to Check the lVhir.wind. TOWER OF BABEL. One May Result From the Confusion. Apparently a New Method of Campaigning Adopted. The primary campaign of 1910 will long- be spoken of as the great cam paign of questions. The candidates for governor and-all their supporters and vassals are sowing questions even as Jason scattered the dragon's teeth. The political supporter of Stubbs or Wagstaff who has not asked a score or more of questions does not amount to much. But with all this whirlwind of interrogation points, not one an swer has yet been recorded. Along comes an anti-Stubbs man and asks about thirty-seven questions covering every phase or political econ omy from the pedigree of the late King Menelik (who was descended from Solomon) to the number of hairs in the whisker of an ex-Populist. Dave Leahy answers first by asking sixty one questions. Then follows Amrine with seventy-three more, and Mercer closes the first inning with thirty-two. Then a couple of Wagstaff managers get together and fire another broadside of questions and other Stubbs men step into the breach and pile up the ques tions high as a cat's back. There is no end to these questions. They are corded up In the streets and corridors and back yards. The ques tioners seem bent upon building an other tower of Babel. As for tho righteous citizen, he is building an ark to escape the flood. If some foolhardy gent would only raise his voice and set forth one an swer to all this endless array of ques tion marks, maybe this little old lone some answer would grow up over night like Jonah's gourd, maybe it would fliw like water from the rock under the stroke from Moses' rod, maybe it would oh well. It would relieve the monotony and show up big as a liglit in the darkness. Then certain honest citizens would see the light and pass resolutions to lynch the next man who asked a question before he had an swered one..

Club Women Are Working Today for Anti-Tuberculosis Society. Taj hawkers Entertained An Interest tog Program for Them. Today the club women are out over the city 250 strong working in the in terests of the Topeka Anti-tuberculosis society. They are making an effort to increase the membership of the organ ization from 600 to four or five thou sand. Every time a new recruit is secured to enlist in the movement, towards stamping out the "great white plague" in Topeka. it means that a dollar is added to the funds which will be used in the up-keep of the fresh air camp on the North side, and in order to main tain the camp in an up-to-date manner it is estimated that $4,000 should be m sight for the year. It has been a long time since a movement had been launched in To peka of such far reaching importance and which is interesting the public general'y to such a marked degree. A dollar is but a pittance to pay for membership in such an organization. A person pays out large sums of momy on life insurance, and the suggestion has been made that many a dollar and possibly a life may be saved through thl3 paltry sum that you as an individ ual are asked to give. While it was impossible to get com plete returns of the result of the work of the club women today the reports that have been received are encourag ing and show that scores of men and i women have been added to the ranks of the society. Much Interest is being taken in the concert tomorrow eveninsr at the hi2n l school auditorium, which will be giver by' Percy Hemus. baritone, and Mar garet Fowler, violinist. Press comment in respect to the work of Mr. Hemus is most favorable. "Mr. Hemus, one of New York's most finished singers," says the New York Musical Courier, "charmed the audi ence. His flexible baritone voice is heard to advantage in tender songs like Schumann's "Lotus Flower,' and Schu bert's 'Wiegenlied.' In the Korbay song Mr. Hemus gave evidence of the more manly qualities." H. Ward Page entertained the Jay-hawker- club last night, reading a paper on "De Quincy."

At the Majestic. The author of "A Venetian Romance" may have tried to turn out a serious drama, but he did nothing of the sort. The play is being produced at the Ma estic this week, by the North Players, and is one of the comedy vehicles, seen here for a long time. However, it has a serious side to it, ard one that holds interest from the opening to the final curtain- The characters in the piece are well ba'ancd and natural. Albert Fergu son has the best comedy role in the play, tliat of "FrankMn Fitts." And Ferguson plays it. The part is full of bright lines and Ferguson makes the most oi them. Miss Ruth Robinson, as the young bride of "Fitts" makes a hit. Keenan's "Sydney Norcott" is good but the real heavy work of the piece falls to Clyde B. Callicotte anl Miss Russell. As "Antoine Rlmirva," a biga mist, Callicotte has found a part in which be can bring all his powers as a "heavy" into play and he does it. He has sized up the character, that of a told schemer and merciless nobleman, and plays it with force and vigor. Miss Russell does some excellent work as his wife. The costumes in the play are modern. Toilets worn by the women members of the company are the best seen here this season. The stage effects are (pleasing, and the piece should go well this wiek. At the Airdome. Chief Chef JaD.es Kearney celebrated the opening of his new venture known a? an airdome, Monday night, by serv ing up hot a "vodeville" omelet a la Eeck. Good music, good dancing and fun talk, that was funny, figured in the tempting disn whdcii Kearney arranged fra his sruests. The Five Dunbars put up a. good act in the way of music and the Cart Wright Sisters did a singing and dancing turn that pleased. Tom Quigley is not set c:own as the headliner of the show, but he is Jus the same. Quigley goes mighty good and has a pleasing line o fun lore The new airdome, at Fourth and Quincy streets, was crowded at both shows given Monday night. If Chef Kearney keeps up the standard of his dishes" the airdome should go well. The menu will be changed again Thursday. Georgia Abbott, "the Hu man Magnet," will be feature act. Georgia is said' to put Sandow in the sr.ade Tnen i- comes to muscle. Bloudel Carr will also be on the bill with more music. The Five Dunbars will re main for a few days longer. At the Novelty. The moving pictures shown at the Novelty, Monday night were good, es pecially the film, "Two Brothers." All of the pictures were well received by two big houses, but the comedy drama "Chicken" seemed to be the general favorite. This is one of the best funny brme ticklers ever shown here. Carl Fletcher pleases with a new song hit. 7 I our Commencement Dress Is at Crosby's ready for you So you can ccme any time now that you are ready and try it on.
