Democratic Tiew of Situation in Jefferson. Believed That Anthony Is Gain ing on McXeal. WON'T TAKE A HAND. Bourbons Will Keep Out of Re publican Primary. Republicans Want to Stand by National Administration. Oskaloosa, Kan., June 21. A Demo crat usually is good authority on Re publican politics, because his sight is not dimmed by prejudice. If there be a factional difficulty, his ears are open to both sides, and he is able to size up the situation with more or less ac curacy. Two prominent Democrats lately have expressed the opinion that Congressman D. R. Anthony would carry Jefferson county for renomina tion. These guessers are Judge Mar shall Gephart of Oskaloosa and Geo. Harmon, the Valley Falls publisher, who owns five newspapers. Judge Gephart says he has been I: Governor Judson Harmon, Who WU 1 Be Renominated for Governor of Ohio by the Democrats.' -"-rr" llstening to the big and little talk of all brands of Republicans for two months, and, after making a liberal allowance for enthusiasm and that Fort of thing, he has named 200 to 300 us Anthony's majority over T. A. Mc Neal in this county. Mr. Harmon says that a month ago he thought McXeal had the lead, but lately the state printer has fallen be hind, and shows no sign of making anv hotter speed. Mr. Harmon is not guessing on the majority, but as he views the race, Anthony is making steady gains, and will take the Jeffer son county heat by a length or more. Judge Gephart says that the Jeffer son countv Democrats want to make the best showing possible in the pri mary and will not, therefore, weaken their 'ticket by voting with the Repub licans as has been reported from To peka. In the first place. Judge Gep hart says, no Democrat Has any right th Monnhlican primary, unless he has switched his politics and become a member of the Republican party; and in the second place, he knows of no Democrats in the county who want to vote with the Republicans. "As I un derstand it," Judge Gephart said, the Democrats of Jefferson county are willing for the Republicans to settle their own troubles In their own way. Republicans dissatisfied with the set tlement, are invited to examine our platform and inspect our candidates with a view of affiliating with our par tv in the future. But no regular Democrat will weaken his own cause, and stultifv himself by violating at least the spirit of the law, by break ing into the Republican primary sim ply because he is personally friendly to Mr Anthony or Mr. McNeal, Mr. Stubbs or Mr. Wagstaff."

Leonard John son, a negro, charged with having killed Miss Maude Redding, a young white woman, yesterday, was burned at the stake by a mob last night. Sheriff Norwood and a posse were en route here with the negro when they were overpowered by a mob at Lone Star, the home of the woman. Secur ing the frightened negro who was pleading for his life the mob. composed of more than 100 men and boys, dragged i.i a short distance from the town. There, it Is stated, he confessed he had murdered Miss Redding. The negro was then tied to a stake and after brush had been piled high around him the torch was applied. Dis regarding the pleading of Johnson the fire was fed until he was dead. Miss Redding had left her home en route to Lone Star about noon. Two hours later her body with her throat cut from ear to ear, was found in a dense wood a short distance from the town. START HARMON BOOM. Ohio Democrats Meet In State Con vention at Dayton. Dayton, O., June 21. A plank carry ing a presidential endorsement for Governor Harmon will be inserted in th" platform to be laid before the state Democratic convention which opens here today. This has been definitely decided on by the Democratic leaders and Gov ernor Harmon, although aware of their purpose, has shown so far no inten tion of opposing them. The governor proposes to confine his campaign for re election to state issues, according to a statement made by him last night but he has declined to discuss his presi dential boom in any way. Two issues of premier importance have presented themselves to the dele gates. The first is the attitude of Wil liam J. Bryan, who has declared him self for the endorsement by the con vention of a candidate to succeed Sen ator Charles Dick. The second is the nomination for lieutenant governor. Mr. Bryan's point of view will be supported by followers of Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland and the Cuyarga county (Cleveland) delegation. Gov ernor Harmon and his following are on the opposite side and the general opin ion is that they will win. As for as the gubernatorial nomina tion is concerned it is a foregone belief that Governor Harmon will be re nominated and It is also considered as settled that Attice Pomerne of Canton will be named as lieutenant governor, although a fight is expected. The convention opens this afternoon. PASSES THE HOUSE. PubUc Buildings Bill Goes Through Near Midnight. Washington, June 21. The public buildings bill carrying $19,288,500 in authorizations for increasing cost of public buildings, etc., besides $3,095. 000 for continuing contracts was pass ed by the house at 12:50 o'clock last night by a viva voce vote. ine Dm, which is known as the "pork barrel," has been awaited with lively interest and when its reading was begun at 11:55 p. m. there was wild applause among the members. Mr. Sims of Tennessee, declaring the house was running wild on omni bus appropriation bills, protested the measure carried millions for the Dis trict of Columbia. His speech block ing action on the bill was frequently Interrupted with ironic cries or "loud er" and "vote." Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri defended the measure. "This bill," he said, "does not appropriate a single dollar out of the treasury. It carries authorization and provides for continuing con tracts." GOVERNORS TO MEET.

Promoters Hare Surrendered All Along the Line. JEFFMES BItEAKJS UP. He Will Lea? e Frisco for Nevada Tonight. Little Apprehension About Gov ernor of Nevada. Reno, Nev., June 21. Tex Rickard definitely announced shortly after noon today thafc.Reno had been selected for the Jeffries-Johnson fight. Prepara tions for building an arena were at once begun. San Francisco, June 21. To all ap pearances the fight promoters have surrendered completely as far as Cali fornia is concerned. Rickard, Gleason, Blot and the lesser promoters in San Francisco and the Los Angeles pro moters have ceased all talk of con testing the mandate of Governor Gil- lett in the courts. The governor has iociiorl nrdorfl in ctnn rimits Scheduled for the present month in Los Angeles, Shasta and Kern counties, xne latter includes the Attell-Moran 10-round af fair down for next Friday in Los An geles. The last vestige of the proposed opposition to Gillett's position has seemingly died away and the fighting fraternity apparently have concluded that the game is dead in California during Gillett's term at least. Jeffries broke camp at Ben Lomond this morning. The boiler maker will reach San Francisco early this after noon and start for Reno late this even ing. Johnson will probably not start for Nevada before Wednesday and possibly not until Thursday morning. The board of supervisors of San Francisco have put off any action on pending fight permits. The Ketchel Langford match will be pulled off in Reno on the morning of July 4. Considerable apprehension was caused in the camps of the fighters last night by a report to the effect that Governor Dickerson of Nevada would follow Gillett's lead and prevent the fisht in his state. Johnson seemed more disturbed than anyone else, and announced last night that he would not move towards Reno until definite as surances were given that the Nevada governor would not interfere. It is known here that strong pressure is be ing brought to bear to stop the fight in Nevada, but Governor Dickerson is said not to be averse to the fight and will, not go out of his way to prevent it.A Assurances to the latter effect -were received from the governor late last Like Reno. Reno, Nev., June 21. If Reno raises funds to construct a suitable arena with a seating capacity of 25,000 people, pays the $1,000 license fee and furnishes a site, the battle will be held here. Tex Rickard practically assured this itv of the contest, if it meets the stipulations, at a meeting which began shortly after midnight and lasted over an hour this morning. 'mere is no doubt that the money, which will amount to about $17,000, will be raised. There will be a mass meeting of all representative business men of RenoJ Ll j?;o7 n. ill. lino juuiuu.fe. Dickerson Says O. K. Ogden. Utah. June 21. Governor Dickerson of Nevada, who is in Ogden today, declared that he will not in terfere with the Jeffries-Johnson fight. When seen by a representative of News Item: Colonel Roosevelt will remain tn close communion wit the Associated Press, toon after his ar rival from Ontario, Ore., the governor said the laws of Nevada license prize fighting and that, therefore, the exec utive of the state is without authority to siod tne Dig ngnx. "Though if there is any evidence of a fake Ight," said the eovernor. "I shall stoi) it, but I am convinced the contest is on its merits. Be certain to qualify that statement as to the fake fight, for Tex Rickard is a personal friend of mine and I know he would not lend his name to such a decep tion. Reno and Goldfield Are Active. Reno, Nev., June 2L With the posi tive assurance from Promoter Tex Rickard that he would announce the location of the Jeffries-Johnson fight before noon today, the contest between Reno and Goldfield was feverishly waged throughout the morning. A band requisitioned by the Reno committee paraded the principal streets of the city, serenading prominent busi ness men. While the cymbals were sounding and the crowds cheering, the "hat was passed around" as the "boos ters" nut It, in an effort to raise at the last moment a substantial sum as a guarantee to offer the promoters. Goldneld's representatives were equal ly active. An "inner committee" con sisting of Rickard's former business as sistants, Ole Elliott and E. S. ("kid") Highly, was named to make a final appeal to Rickard to declare for his home City. -j It was long after midnight before last night's conferences broke up. Rick ard went at once to bed and slept late this morning. He seemed com pletely fagged by the exhausting events or tne last rew days. When informed this morning of Gov ernor Dickerson s announcement that he would make no attempt to inter fere with the fight, Rickard said that he had not been" worrying over anv possibility of opposition from the state authorities and that the governor's definite statement r his intentions was only wnat he had expected.

Popular Subscriptions to Place Gage Memorial. Immense Boulder Near the Park Entrance. POPULAR MOVEMENT. Give Something No Matter How Small. A Man's Desire and a Woman's Love the Inscription. "H"I"I"H"H"I"1"H"Hm"H"H"IH- I hereby subscribe to be given toward the erection of a bronze tablet in Gage's park. This tablet is to be placed on a boulder at the divi- sion of the two drivewavs and will bear the inscription "A man's desire and n woman's love gave this park." T t'U'l'H I I 1 1 I ..M..H..K"M. Fill out this blank, enclose any amount you can spare from one cent to untold riches and your civic pride will be exhibited in relation to the re cent sentiment for the improvement of Gage park. A movement toward the erection of a bronze tablet to Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Gage in Gage park in appre ciation of their actions in the donation of this park to the city was started by Captain J. G. Waters today. It is the plan of Captain Waters to move the historic old boulder in Gage park to the division point of the two driveways and place it on a cement foundation. In this boulder will be set the bronze tablet with the above in scription. It is desired to do the work by popular subscription. No matter how small the amount it will be all the better as it will give more an oppor tunity to contribute. The people of Topeka are gradually realizing the great importance of Gage park to the city and the sentiment to extend the street railway lines out to the park as well as make a number of radical improvements has brought forth considerable public pride. This old boulder is now at peace in the park and has been there as long as man can remember. It is the theorv of Captain Waters that it came here in the glacial period and has with it a sentiment that makes it a valuable as set to the park. The boulder is a mammoth stone weighing at least 4,000 pounds. A ce ment foundation will be built at the two driveways and this stone placed on that foundation. The bronze tablet with the inscrifption. ,"A man's desire and a woman's love gave this park." will be placed on this boulder. The inscrip tion as well as the movement to show this form of appreciation to Mrs. Gage and to the memory of Mr. Gage was hewn from the fertile brain of Captain Waters, who is an enthusiast on city parks. "This would be a fitting token of ap preciation," said the captain today. "The sentiment connected with this magnificent boulder and the wording of the inscription would make a fitting present to the memory of these two people who have dreamed of their gift to the city. "Practically all of the trees in Gage park were planted by Mr. Gage. Mrs. Gage held them in the ground while Mr. Gage stamped the earth around them and in years after Mrs. Gage car ried water during the terrible drouth and kept the weaklings alive. "Now Mrs. Gage proposes to erect a beautiful entrance to the park at a cost of $5,000. I think that this boulder h Us editorial duties for a whiW inscription just inside the park would be a return of thanks by the people of the city. We want everyone in Topeka to give to this fund even though they can only give a penny. It will show Mrs. Gage our thoughts and our ap preciation." The money will be received by Cap tain Waters or the State Journal. KANSAS IN HEAT WAVE Hot Nights and Ninety Degree Tem peratures Everywhere. Ninety degree temperatures are the rule all over Kansas.

Landreth went down to Ashland about 80 miles away to visit some relatives and did not get back so tlck Cooley played the first sack and stuck for the liine innings although he lost 22 pounds In weight. By the end of the game Dick's opin ion of Umpire Spencer could only bf! expressed In whispers. He was too hot to say them real loud. Shotten caught Kerns' fly in the fifth and held it although the ball tore his fourth finger nail off putting him out of the game for some days.

They could not agree so Cooley poured a quart of Ice water on his head and sat in the grass to cool off. "Hottest day of th season and here I picked it to get out and play ball for the first time in about two years. Wise guy I am. Quite a weather prog iiosticator," growled Sir Richard when he started out for the sixth inning. Members of the Topeka team were betting gumdrops with each other at odds of three to one that Cooley would not stick more than five innings but he went the route and played a very acceptable game, getting one timely hit in four times up.

The fol lowing is from a Chicago paper: A ruling of the faculty made it cer tain that the University of Chicago baseball team will tour Japan early next fall. Professor Goodspeed will ac company the team. Coach Stagg will not make the trip. A series of five games has been scheduled with Waseda and Keio uni versities, and it is expected that the Maroons will be away from home for three months. Baseball is one of the ruling sports in Japan today. The little Nipponese men play the national pastime in a manner that would do credit to many of the ball teams America is proud of. One of the very best teams ever pro duced by Japan is the- Mikado aggre gation. They are a clever bunch of fielders and use their heads to good ad vantage. Their hitting, however, is not up to the standard: of the American ball teams. i The Japanese play very good ball. Their fielding and base running equals that of the best minor leagues of our country. Where they are weak is in batting. It is not likely that they will ever become good batters, as they have not the proper method of swinging tho bat. The American baseball rules have been translated into the Japanese lan guage. Good umpires are not to be had in that country, however. The wrong interpretation is continually put on the rule. All of the leading papers of the land have reporters on the ground and give fairly good accounts of the game. The spectators, too, un derstand the game surprisingly well. WHERE HE WILL WORK. Magnificent Offices Fitted Up for Colonel Roosevelt In New York. New Tork, June 21.Theodore Roose velt has begun the life he has chosen for himself as a private citizen. He has his own ideas of what the country shall do with its ex-presidents and after a single day of rest at Sagamore Hill took up his work as a contributing editor of the Outlook. He went directly to his office on his arrival in New York and immediately plunged into the mountain of corre spondence that has been accumulating for him. Two hours later he appeared on the street and was immediately rec ognized by the crowds. Before he had walked half a block westward toward Fifth avenue he was followed by a throng that blocked the sidewalk. The sun was beating down with an Intensity that made a top hat unendur able. The colonel plunged for a hat ter's at a speed that made the crowd run to keep up. As he passed the of fice of the publishing house that will brinar out his forthcoming book on his hunting trip, he spied a tall portrait of himself, framed In red white and blue., "That's dandy. Isn't it?" was his comment. A hatter was close by. It took the colonel Just two minutes to buy a wide brimmed straw hat with a black band. Then he footed it at the same amazing speed to his office again. Editor Roosevelt's business head quarters hereafter will be on the seventh floor of the United Charities building at Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street where a suite of three rooms have been especially engaged for him. On the entrance door appears the legend in big gilt letters "Office of Theodore Roosevelt." The rooms them selves, although business like in ap pearance, are furnished with a mag nificence unusual for an office building. The suite comprises: a room for Mr. Roosevelt's secretary, a room in which visitors will wait and Mr. Roosevelt's own room, large and? airy, fronting on Fourth avenue. The- walls are newly covered with bronze iburlap. The fur niture is of mahogany and the desk is a reproduction of George Washington's desk at Mount "Vernon. A rich rug of tan, green and dull pink covers the polished parquetry of the floor. Pic tures of Washington, Lincoln, and a copy of the Declaration of Independ ence written large in old English char acters hang on the? bronze burlap. If it should prove that visitors are too Insistent there is an" auxiliary exit by which Editor Roosevelt may escape through a hidden hall to a street.

WORKING FOUR YEARS cessfnl Experiments. Other Items of General Interest in Eailroad World. Wireless telegraphy (will soon be in use on the Union Pacific, according to an official of the company who has been carrying on experimental engi neering work. Two stations are being equipped, one at Cheyenne, Wyo., and the other at Sydney, 103 miles away, between which tests will be made as to whether wireless will do the same commercial work as wires, and it is likely that experiments will be made in sending messages to trains. For four years the Union Pacific has had engineers experimenting with wire less telegraphy th its-- laboratory at Omaha. Considerable money has been spent in developing what is asserted to be a new system of wireless telegraphy, and which has now reached such a stage that it is ready for commercial use. For the Cheyenne and Sydney stations high towers of from 250 to ?00 feet will be built. They will have to be of solid construction because of the high winds, ana omciais epcci that they shall have no trouble deliver ing messages satisfactorily. The Union Pacific is tne nrsi nuituau n nuc toioirra.nhv into operations. As to the advantages of wireless telegraphy, it is stated that it makes for greater safety to trains and passen gers because when wires would go down before a gale it will be possible to keep trains moving and to transact official railway uusuicto. ii would be a great saving over wires. At Omaha messages have been receiv ed from as far away as the gulf, and experimenters have heard vessels talk ing 'from Havana harbor. SANTA FE TO BUILD A LAKE.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAE TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1910. WEBB ISAKANSAN lie Is Now the Attorney General of California. Man W ho Stopped the Jeffries Johnson Fight. BEAREDNEARWICIUTA lie Is a Keal Product of the Kansas Farm. Leading Attorney of California and 46 Years Old. Wichita, Kan., June 21. King Char ley number one had his Ollie Crom well, Manager George Little had hia John Arthur Johnson and now Tex Itickard and Jack Gleason have their U. S. Webb. Who is U. S. Webb? "That's what they are all asking now." Well, Webb is from Kansas and his mother and brother live in Wichita, and he's attorney general of California. He's the man who will put the hay maker on the big Johnson-Jeffries mill. Kveryone knows all about the mittfest which is scheduled for fight fans at Frisco on July 4th, next. All sporting dora is asking the questions, "Can Jeff come back?" "Is Jack there with H get-the-money punch?" Well, tho sports had Just as well cut out the questions, for "there ain't a gona be no right." That is, in California. A Kansan, a real son of the Sunflow er state, is to count ten over the mill. Webb is the man. U. S. will swing a large uppercut and quince the entire works. Came to Kansas in 1871. U. S. Webb is only 46 years of age, is one of the leading attorneys of Cali fornia, As usual in such cases he is a product of a Kansas farm. That farm is only eleven miles southeast of this c ity. Mr. Webb was born in West Vir ginia in 1865. and came to Sedgwick county in 1S71, when only 5 years old. V. S. was Just like any other hustling young boy. In Kansas paternal Webb grew richer in money and lands and his son took on in years. Time used its wings, the yellow pile in the Webb strong box grew larger and larger and the Webb boys, for U. S. has a brother, K. Webb who is running for state treasurer, grew older and wiser. One day Webb the elder, gathered together his per sonal belongings and also his family and moved into Butler county, Kansas. There young U. S. Webb received his education and ripened into a man with a body developed by companionship with work and a mind ready for duty by dint of midnight oil and the thumD ing of good books. Went to Coast in 1888. Webb the younger examined himself. He found ambition in his inventory. He would not till the soil nor carry water nor be a hewer of wood. He would turn" the pages of Blackstone and Kent. He set himself for the task and was soon ready for the bar... In 1888 r said good-bye to Kansas, nnd moved to California, settling at Quincy. In 1890 he was elected county attorney and held this office until 1902, when he was elected attorney general of the state on the Republican ticket. Mr Webb is married and has two chi'd'ren. He is a brother of E. Webb, candidate for the Republican nomina tion of state treasurer, and well known in this county and this city. His moth er lives at 1617 East First street. As chief legal officer of California. Attorney General Webb will surely pre vent the big mill from being held in the state. If Rlckard and Gleason put on the legal mits with M be about due for the count in Jig time. ANTS ARE BAD AT KIOWA. Destroy Lawns, Infest Pantries and Damage Clothing. Kiowa, Kan.. June 21. There is an all-summer Job waiting for a man who can rid this town of ants The ant problem here is not a Joke. The little pests have really become a menace At first they just bothered the residents by destroying lawns. Then they moved into houses and be gan infesting pantries and other places where edibles were kept. After that the insects began to dam age clothing. Becoming braver they attacked people while they slept. Sev eral families, having given up hope of ridding their households of the pests, have moved from here. So far the only sure method found for killing the insects is to pour boil ing hot water into the nests. But the trouble is in locating the nests. COLEMAN IN HOSPITAL AGAIN.

Manhattan, Kan., June 20. When the Ottawa county commissioners met last week to open bids for four con crete bridges they were surprised to find that there were onlj three pro posals and these practically the same and very much above cost and rea sonable profit. It looked like a divi sion of territory evidently had been made by the trust, for over sixty bridge contractors had been notified and the work was advertised in five leading engineering journals. Highway Engineer Gearhart of the Agricultural college, who had pre pared the plans and specifications and who had made the estimates, was pres ent to advise the board and upon his advice they rejected all the bids and decided to build one bridge by day labor, under the supervision of the highway engineer. Mr. Gearhart's es timate for the four bridges was $11,908, while the lowest bid submit ted was for 14,800. This saving to one county alone will be nearly $3,000 enough to pay the engineer's salary for more than a year. AFTER FISH DYNAMITERS. Officers Are on Trail of Offenders in Marias Des Cygnes River. Ottawa, Kan., June 21. County of ficers are trying to trail three men whom they suspect of dynamiting fish on the river six miles below town. The offenders, they say, live in Ottawa and they will soon be able to put a charge at their doors. Dynamiting has been going on for several weeks, they say. Mrs. Leona Jones, who lives on the Mara is des Cygnes river near the mouth of Tauy creek was in the city yesterday complaining about fish dyna miting that she says has been going on in the river near her house. "I was awakened the other night by an explosion that shook my house, which is about forty rods from the river," Mrs. Jones said. "That was the first time I had heard it and I believe that time the dynamite exploded be fore H touched the water. Tne report was loud. There has been fishing done at night around my place for years but this is the first time I have heard dynamiting there." Dynamiting fish is one of the very serious offenses in Kansas. It is a felonv and one that has been pretty well stamped out recently. It is pun ishable by penitentiary sentence. WOMEN MAKING MONEY, TOO.

Citizens of Town Give Them Royal Welcome for Victories Won. Concordia, Kan., June 21.

BOY BITTEN BY GOAT. Result Is Arvil Dudding May Have Case or Rabies. Ottawa. Kan., June 21. It is feared that Arvil Dudding, who was bitten by a Det eoat Friday may develop raDies. This is the question that is making the family of an injured Ottawa boy uneasy and taking the strictest atten tion of their physician. Until it is certain the vicious animal did not have rabies there will be anxiety. The hydrophobia scare has shifted to the southeast part of town, where a dog and a goat have died within the last two days showing strong symp toms of the disease, while a 12-year- old boy who was bitten by the goat is FROM A WOMAN IN KANSAS CITY Who Feels It Her Duty to Tell Other Women of the Treat- ment That Cured Her and Her Daughter. As a woman's health is dependent upon the condition of the blood, every mother, who fails to regain her strength after childbirth, should hasten her return to health and save herself from years of un necessary suffering, by giving Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills a thorough trial. The pure, new blood, which the pills make, strengthens the -weakened system until health is restored. Mrs. Etta Estes, of No. 333 Sooth Lawndale street, Kansas City, Mo., re ceived such great help from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that she feels it her duty to give them her hearty recom mendation. "After my baby was born", she says, "I did not gain in strength as I should have. I was generally run down. I had trembling spells so that I could hardly walk across the floor. It seemed as though I was going to fall. I did not have any color and kept losing in flesh until I was almost a skeleton. I had severe headaches and pains in the side, arms and shoulders. 1 was unable to do my housework. "I grew worsa under the doctor's treat ment and finally gave it up in order to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The pills helped me immediately and I becsnie stronger each day. I was soon able to do my work and am now in the best of health. I have since given Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to my daughter for poor blood and severe pains in the side. After a short trial she was restored to health. I am convinced !that Dr. Williams' JPink Pills will do all that is claimed for them and advise any woman who is suffering as I did, to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at once and not wait another day." As most of the diseases from which wo men suffer are directly caused by a lack of blood, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have been found unequalled in the treatment of anaemia, green sickness, delayed de velopment, leucorrhcea and all irregulari ties arising from impure or watery blood and weak nerves. Every mother should have our booklets, "Plain Talks to Women" and "Care of the Baby," which will be sent free upon postal card request. Dr. W imams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receiDt of price. 50 cents Der box: six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. of the goat was sent to Dr. Gobs of the State Agricultural college for examin ation, ana nis nnamgs will be awaited with anxiety. CONCORDIA'S NEW BUILDING.

Busrbow, that deluge which over-it-lms)4 Nw Tork after Colonel Hoosevelf s arrival there was unusual In that ft was not one of words. Purely It wasn't necessary for the state, board of health to Issue that re cent manifesto that the time has come for the removal of winter flannels. Another revision of Kansas crop pros pects has been necessary. The peach and apple crops are going to be larger this season than they have been In years. Over five hundred women hold posi tions of trust In the banks of this state. There oan ba no denying It, Kansas women shine In every field they enter. This hot weather which is on the carpet these days may be annoying to humans but it Is fine for the crops and for businesn so it ought to be borne with a grin. Of what use to the small boy will be that new "noiseless and harmless" fire cracker which some Inventive genius has perfected for sale in the cities where safe and sane Fourths are to bo the rule? It will probably be some time before Arizona and New Mexloo realize their dream of statehood, but congress has finally done Its part In the premises. This has certainly been one of those good things whloh have come slow. One of the remarks attributed to Colonel Roosevelt when he landed in New Tork was to the effeot that he felt Hke hugging the whole United States. And there Is every Indication that the jwhola United States would have recip rocated warmly. Orsr in Russia the other day an tn BOMBt man was hanged because of a purely judicial error which was not jjllsoovered until It was too late. This Is another good example to substantiate Stha argument against the Infliction of Soapltal punishment. l iW. L. A. Johnson, state labor com ealBBloner, has discovered that the ac rident law passed by the last legis lature is defective In many essential Vletalls. That seems to have been the trouble with most of legislation en 'aoted by the Kansas legislature of 1909. Governor Glllett, of California, is get ting congratulations from many promi nent personages because he put a stop to the holding of the big fight on Call ifornia soil. But the nuestlon which arises is as to why he ever permitted the proceedings Incident to the pulling ft of this fight to get so far advanced? IWhy didn't he stop them at the outset? If the fire insurance companies work out a plan they are talking over for reducing materially the commis sions they pay to their agents, isn't there a chance that the latter will seek to have the companies arraigned In court for violating the Sherman anti-trust law in effecting a combin ation for the restraint of trade? A small matter of more than $5,000,000 rwill have to be paid by the federal government for the steel that is nec essary for the construction of the locks on the Panama canal. It is to be hoped, however, that canal locks are not like the several million dollar battleships which outlive their usefulness In the course of eight or ten years. Judge Grosscup, of Chicago, delivered n address In Philadelphia the other tiight during the course of which he proposed that a limit should be placed on the profits of industrial combina tions. This is assuredly quite as rea sonable as the placing of a limit on he profits on railroads and other cor porations. In New York, for instance, the life insurance companies are pro hibited from doing more than a cer tain amount of business each year. And in Massachusetts a law has been In operation for years which limits) the per cent of dividends thai can be de clared by railroad companies organix ed under the laws of that state. WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE. The regular session of the Sixty-first congress started oft in December last as giving promise of winning the do nothing championship, and it contin ued on the way for quite a time. But it has made amends which ought to be eminently satisfactory to the people of the country. Perhaps, it is well with in the truth to assert that Sn no other single session of congress, and surely this Is true of late years, has so much legislation of real importance been en acted Into law. And almost the en tire credit for this belongs to Presi dent Taft and the representatives in congress of the Republican party. It's a record that they may well look to with pride and on which they can have no hesitancy in asking for an endorsement. First of all comes the railroad leg islation. It is by far the most im portant which has ever been under taken by congress. It gives to the members of the interstate commerce commission a larger measure of real regulation over railroad corporations than has heretofore been enjoyed by them. It may not be the final say in legislation of this character, but it is a great step to that end It is viewed with alarm In several of the railroad centers. But those railroaders who look upon It in that lieht are for the most part men who are actually opposed to any and every kind of railroad regula tion. They are not as numerous as they were in this country. Nor would they appear to be in the majority. And while they are convinced that this leg islation is going to be Inimical to the railroad Interests, there are several prominent railroaders who do not hold to the same views and Who have in stituted no policy of retrenchment in the administration of their railroad systems. They recognize that the new railroad law Is broad in its scope, but they believe it will be wisely admin istered.' And this latter Is the nubbin of the situation. It's a certalntv that all laws on the United States statute books will be wisely administered while Mr. Taft is the presidential In cumbent. For this reason, no railroad has anything to fear that the govern mental activities in regulating it are going to be anything more than just and equitable. Any railroad which has such fears may be set down as being conducted on the wrong principle, or else such fears have been foolishly conceived. Among the other notable legislative enactments which this congress will make is the establishment of a postal savings bank system, the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states, a couple of most important conservation measures, an appropria tion of 1250,000 to permit the tariff commission, working under the direc tion of President Taft, to get facts and figures on which the tariff can be sci entifically revised in the future. These are the big things that congress has done. The little and necessary things have been innumerable. BEES. There is money in bee keeping if it is managed properly, writes Jas. A. Arnold, editor and chief of the divi sion of publications of the federal de partment of agriculture. Bee keeping is being carried on with both profit and pleasure by many thousands of people in all parts of the United States and, while, as a rule, it is not the sole occupation of those who pursue if, there are many places where an exper ienced bee keeper can make a good living by devoting his entire time and attention to this line of work. The average annual honey yield per colony for the entire country should be from 25 to 30 pounds of comb hon ey or 40 to B0 pounds of extracted honey. The money return to be ob tained from this crop depends entirely on the market and the methods of selling the honey. If sold direct to the consumer, extracted honey brings from 10 to 20 cents per pound, and comb honey from 15 to 25 cents per section. If sold to dealers, the price varies from 6 to 10 cents for extracted honey and from 10 to 15 cents for comb honey. All of these estimates depend largely on the quality and neatness of the product. From the gross return must be deducted from 50 cents to $1 per colony for the ex penses other than labor, Including foundation, sections, occasional new frames and hives, and other inciden tals, not, however, providing for in crease. These figures, however, are based on a system of good management. Bee keeping to be profitable requires hard work, knowledge and experience. Much study is required to insure suc cess. It is unwise, therefore, for the average individual to undertake ex tensive bee keeping without consider able previous experience on a small scale, since there are so many more details which go to make up success in the work. Learn the way of bees, how to handle them, and what kind of equipment is best. Then begin on a small scale, make the bees pay for themselves and for all additional ap paratus, as well as some profit, and let the business grow gradually. Above all it should be emphasized that the only way to make bee keep ing a profitable business is to produce only a first-class article. We can not control what the bees bring to the hive to any great extent,' but by prop er manipulation we can get them to produce fancy comb honey, or If ex tracted honey is produced It can be carefully 'cared for and neatly packed to appeal to the fancy trade. Too many bee keepers, in fact the major ity, pay too little attention to making their goods attractive. They should recognize the fact that of two jars of honey, one In an ordinary fruit Jar or tin can with a poorly printed label, and the other in a neat glass jar Af artistic design with a pleasing, attrac tive label, the latter will bring dou ble or more the extra cost of the better package. It is perhaps unfor tunate but nevertheless a fact that honey sells largely on appearance, and a progressive bee keeper will appeal as strongly as possible to the eye of his customer. Much Information along these and other lines In bee keeping can be found In a new publication of the de partment of agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 397, entitled, "Bees." The aim of this work is to give briefly the In formation needed by, persons engaged in the keeping of bees, and to answer inquiries that are frequently received from correspondents of the depart ments. It discusses the location, equip ment, and stocking of the apiary, hon ey and wax, wintering, and diseases and Injuries. It also gives such gen eral Information as how to obtain and Introduce queens, laws affecting bee keeping, and journals and books on the subject. JOURNAL ENTRIES Maybe some of the bachelors are that way because they could not get any girls to have them.

Most individuals who would like to buy places In "society" actually find there are none for sale. Many people never think of talking to each other face to face the way they do over the telephone. There may be other things worth while in college besides athletics but quite a number of boys don't seem to think so. It may be a little old to call atten tion to the fact that people are mort gaging their homes to buy automobiles but that they are doing this very thing can scarcely be looked upon as a joke. JA YHA WKER JOTS Don't wait until your fellowman goes down for the third time before throwing him a life preserver, advises the Jewell County Monitor. It is the belief of the Jamestown Optimist that the game laws of the state ought to give him protection dur ing the housecleaning season. It has been figured out by the Seneca Tribune that "the dark horse in poll tics has had his day. The primary system let the daylight through him." With all the mean men there are in Kansas City, says the Hutchinson Gazette, it is a regrettable fact that a woman was singled out recently to be a victim of a stroke of lightning. Gomer Davies suggests that the Con cordia team's standing in its league would probably be higher, if the play ers wasted less energy chewing the rag, and put more behind the bat. This suggestion is also pertinent for many teams in many other leagues. The Globe tells of an Atchison man who was very ill that an undertaker, who was a member of his lodge, call ed to see him. While coming up the walk, the undertaker absent-mindedly whistled, "I Am Waiting, Darling, for You, and it made the sick man so mad he got well. A little advice and philosophy from the ElDorado Times: When the peo ple who are howling about the high cost of living get down to rye coffee and corn bread the cost will not be so high. This diet has grown some mighty good men and women. After all we eat to live; we should not live to eat. The Williamsburg Star tells of a farmer near that town hiring a boy to help him. He told the lad to salt the calf in the pasture. This is what hap pened: The boy took a quart of salt, rubbed it onto the calf and into his hair thoroughly; the colts in the pas ture scented the salt, took after the unfortunate calf and after they ran him down they licked the salt off, tak ing also the hair and leaving a bald and considerably scarred and scared calf. .If the tribe of the Allen county farmer, who gave the Allen county commissioners such a tremendous shock by announcing that his farm was assessed too low, is going to in crease, the weather man will do well to continue this cool weather all sum mer. A few shocks like mat during sizzling summer days would make business pick up for the undertaker. Not all hearts are as strong as those possessed by the Allen county officials. Chanute Tribune. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A church trial never becomes ser ious to an outsider. Don't let the Big Stick talk make you unnecessarily quarrelsome. If you don't want to get into a hos pital, don't consult a doctor who owns one. If your hoodoo doesn't affect any thing but your picnics and fishing ex peditions, you are lucky. A man who starts out to fool Every body, discovers in the course of three or four years that he hasn't fooled Any body.

KANSAS COMMENT "BUT I LOVED HIM." "Arthur was a bad boy, but I loved him." This was what a Hutchinson mother said as she stood by the side of her boy who had committed suicide after a week of debauch in which he had bused her because she refused to give him money to continue his spree. It is the old, old story that has been told since first the angel with the fiaming sword was placed to guard the gates of the Garden of Eden, and the mother of the human race received the seal of maternity. It is the same story that will be told until the end of time, and the mother love has been trans planted in that divine love of Him "who so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoso ever believed in Him might live." The love of mother is as immortal as the soul of which It is a part. Walking along the path where the red light burn until he reaches the end, which Is death, through the crimson lights of sin and shame, the derelict son can look back and see the tender glow of the light that comes from the eyes of the mother who loved him. But there is no past tense in the moth er's love. From the time it is first awakened with the first throb of life, intensified wh i she first feels the warm touch of baby flesh beside her own, the love of mother grows until she sleeps in eternity. There have been cases where it seemed that this moth er love was forgotten; when unhallow ed passions usurped the throne and reigned In a kigdom of lascivious lust; with no scepter save that of debauchery.- But even to those unnatural mothers, few though they are, there comes a time when the flame of pas sion has burned out and in the filth and squalor of a debauched life she looks back to the deserted hearthstone, and as she sees again through the haze of the present the memory of the past, she realizes that "a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." To this love of mother there is a debt due from the son and the daugh ter. A debt that can never be paid in full even though she receive the ten derest care humanity knows. To her is" due all the loyalty, care and love of vhich the son and daughter are ca pable, tnd it is a debt which each fchould pay in love and tenderest care, and to him who obeys the command ment, "Honor thy father and mother," there is promised long life "in the land wrrich thy God giveth thee."

"Her honesty," says a cold blood ed psychological muckraker, "espe cially in financial matters, is very near ly a case of fiction." Bring out the hot oil and dump this slanderer in, and parboil him until the flesh cleaves from the bones. If this smearing of our ideals is further tolerated, it won't be long until some vile wretch will even dare to attempt to drag Mother and her prayers and lullabies and eternal love from their high pedestals.

RECIPROCITY IN POSTAL CARDS Summer tourists are sending back pictorial reports of their travels pos tal cards from Wales and Norway if they have taken the northern route, or from Sicily and Algeria if they have taken the southern. What are the stay-at-homes doing in return? They ought to be reciprocating. Thanks to the manufacturers of pic ture post cards, Chicago has been pretty thoroughly photographed, not only as to the central points of inter est, but also as to most residence neighborhoods. An inquiry at the cor ner drug store nearest one's home will make this clear. It will be easy, then, to bring to the minds of travelers, wherever they may be roaming, the glories of their own city and the charms of their own neighborhood. Thoughts of home can never come amiss, and contrast with foreign scenes will give an added piquancy to pictorial messages.

Fat people will iearn with satisfac tion that they have a champion In a Georgia physician, who says that sur plus flesh is a natural armor against colds and sudden falls, lending the body ".varmth and security, and the mind peace and good cheer." The rycbic effect of being fat, ac cording to this doctor, manifests itself in its influence over the temperament and disposition, from the earliest child hood, or from that moment when, un der the subtle urging of certain foods and tonics, the body begins to grow in bulk of fatty tissue. -As fat is acquired the mind that rules and is ruled by matter acquires a rose-colored outlook, a sunny geniality and a patience with the small irritations of life. Nervous, thin people who actually feuffer because of lack of flesh should remember that sleep is one of the greatest fat producers. Obesity is not cVefinable, but the indlvidua.1 who is plump is often stronger physically than bis thin neighbor and has more en durance. The fat man is usually-good-natured, has strong resistance to dis ease and is a good citizen, as is gen erally proved by his large circle of friends. Boston Globe. PROPER REPRESENTATION.

He was also the most unpopular with the au thorities, owing to neglect of his studies and a frolicsome disregard of college rules. In addition to his other crimes Billy was a ladies man and traveled extensively on the trolley lines between Athens and the two neighboring wom en's colleges. One day Mrs. Veriton, wife of the new professor, telephoned the Phi Tau house, in which Billy lived. The con nection was poor, and the Janitor thought she asked for Mr. Lamb. Billy came to the phone. With difficulty he comprehended that he was being in vited to afternoon tea on Sunday to see "your friend, Mary Armitage, and some other young ladies." William Lamb was surprised. He did not know Mrs. Variton, who had lately come to town; he had never heard of Mary Armitage However, here was an opportunity to meet girls, and he seized it. On Sunday Mrs. Veriton opened her door to a resplendent youth. Her face told Billy Lamb that he was a stranger to her and the painful fact that she was not expecting him to tea. With his most engaging smile he reminded her of the Invitation she had given him by telephone. The lady looked blank and asked his name. "Lamb," replied Billy, looking as in nocent as his namesake. "What is your fraternity?" "Phi Tau." Mrs. Veriton laughed. "Well, this is funny. When I telephoned you I thought I was talking to Reginald Lyon, a friend of mine. Don't you re member how hard it was for us to un derstand each other?" Billy murmured sadly that it was all his mistake, and Mrs. Veriton insisted that she had been stuold, and she was very sorry it had happened so. Then she awaited the young man's departure, but he lingered with a pained look of disappointment. Finally she said: "I thall be one man short, andwon't you come in and meet the young ladies, any way?" "It would be a great pleasure, but I don't think I ought to, under the cir cumstances," answered the diplomatic youth. Mrs. Veriton was impulsive. "Do come in,'' she urged. With seeming reluctance the unin vited guest entered the drawing room. Here he was introduced to several other girls, and to Mary Armitage, who, in five minutes, was the only one in the room for him. Then Billy Lamb fell really and truly in love with a oretty, timid creature, who had never in her life been out from under a chaperon's eye. No college girl's lib erty had been her lot. Her father, who had brought her up, believed in the sheltered life for his daughter, and marriage to a husband of his own choos ing. All this demure Mary connoea to Billy Lamb as they sat in a corner and played with their teacups. "And oh. Mr. Lamb." she added pa thetically, "my future husband is here in this college, now." Her hearer started. "Father has just written to Cousin Kate Veriton that he has prom ised me to the son of one of his friends and that this son is a member of the senior class." Billy looked his amazement; he was too astonished to speak. "Promise me you'll not tell, Mr. Lamb not a soul? Well, Cousin Kate and I both think that Reginald Lyon is the man." 'Great Scctt!" exclaimed her com panion in genuine horror. "Lyon's a perfect lady, always arraia or mussing his clothes. He doesn't know enough to do anything but smoke cigarettes. Miss Armitage. you mustn't be coerced into marrying such an apology for a man." Her eyes grew big at the mere sug gestion of opposition to her parent. "You don't know my father. I shall have to do as he says," was her re cigned reply. The party was breaking uip and Billy rose reluctantly, whispering with mag nificent audacity: "Don't worry. Per haps we can find a way out of It." Mary Armitage gave the captive Lamb such a look of admiring confidence that it went to his head and kept him awake half th-3 night. When William Lamb, with amazing promptness, came to make his party call, he found that the ladies were "not at home." Mrs. Veriton had been en lightened by her friends as to the de pravity of this gilded senior. She said to Mary: "I hear that he was arrest ed and actually sent a night in jail for speeding that $5,000 automobile of his. I'm very sorry you have met him. All you can do now is to ignore him as much as possible." "Yes. Cousin Kate." Mary answered dutifully, and there the matter rested so far as Mrs. Veriton was concerned. The June days passed in a gay round, in which Billy Lamb saw from afar his adored one always guarded by her cousin and Reginald Lyon. This -youth was paying Miss Armitage such atten tion that the boys christened her "the Lyon-Tamer." No girl, or any one else, had ever before charmed the dollars from this rich 'but stingy young man. Commencement was at hand and Wil liam Lamb's name was In the list of graduates, much to the surprise of the faculty. No one knew exactly how It had come about. The fact was afford ing him great satisfaction as he sat one afternoon on a log in the woods near the golf links. He seemed to be expecting some one, for he kept his eye on the path that led to the town. At the glimmer of a pink dress he sprang forward. "Dearest," he cried to Mary Armitage, taking her hands. "Oh, Billy, bad news I Father is com ing to take me home," she exclaimed almost tearfully. "Jerusalem! and my dad arrives this evening to make sure of my diplomas." "What shall we do. Billy He kissed her again as an aid to thought. After a timo he announced: "Well. I guess your father has forced au band. Mary, we'll ba married this afternoon and sret ahead of the. "This afternoonl Oh, I couldn't," she faltered. Billy looked at her sternly and de manded: "Do you want to be thrown to the Lyon?" "No. no. But don't you have to get banns or something before "A license, you mean? Certainly. I thought we might need one in a hurry, so here It is." He waved a paper be fore her eyes. "Now, Mary,-I'll have my machine at the crossroads in fifteen minutes. In fifteen more we'll be In Wilton look ing for an accommodating minister. Brace up, dear. Everything will -be all right as soon as we are married." One hour later the deed was done, and Mr. and Mrs. William Lamb were dashing down the main street of Wil ton, dodging trolley cars, vehicles and pedestrians. The bridegroom was in toxicated with happiness. This was truly a Joy ride with the only girl, now his. sitting beside him. At the sharp turn by the railroad station, where trav elers for Athens take the trolley, he nearly ran down, two elderly gentle men, who cast wrathful glances at the speeding automobile. "Why, hello. Sonny!" yelled the stouter man. In a voice like a mega phone. Billy stopped. "Well, If there Isn't the governor," he cried Joyfully. "Hop In, dad, I didn't expect you so early." "Father," gasped Mary In a fright ened voice to the thin, elderly gentle man. At that word William Lamb knew that a crisis was approaching in his affairs. The fathers climbed Into the auto mobile and sat each by his child. The chauffeur drove the machine at a pace pleasing to elderly parents, but his mind was racing at a seventy-mile gait. His father opened the conversa tion. "Armitage and I are very old friends," he remarked. "I stumbled on him coming up here." "Dad," said Billy confidentially as man to man, "you've always been good to me and you mustn't go back on me this time." "What scrape are you In now?" In quired his experienced father. "Miss Armitage and I were married about an hour ago. That's all." Mr. Lamb faced about toward the father and daughter behind him and roared: "Armitage, what do you think these young idiots did this afternoon? Ran away and got married!" Mary turned pale and shrank Into the corner of the seat. Her father looked at her without a word, his stern face becoming red, then purple, with suppressed emotion. Suddenly he seized her trembling arm. "How dare you, Mary Armitage!" he cried, burst ing with laughter. "How dare yon run away and marry the man I had picked out for you!" (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Literary Press.) Gyroscope for Alaska. The gyroscope, on which German and English inventors have been working furiously In the hope of revolutionizing railroad construction, is to have a real test in Alaska. The system selected for Alaska is not the German, which was exhibited in the Clermont avenue rink a few months ago, but the Brennan system, which has been developed under the patron age of the British war office. The idea of the British support of the Brennan car was that the gyroscope would make possible the transportation of troops through new country much more rap idly and cheaply than the ordinary rail road could be built, in even its roughest form. The same idea seems to have impressed the Alaska capitalists. They are going to build a line of 100 miles from the Matamiska coal fields toward Fairbanks. J i the gyroscope requires only a monorail, supported above the earth on posts or trestles, the Seattle man who has contracted for it expects to build his line for $3,000 a mile in a country where the lightest ordinary railroad would cost from $20,000 a mile upward. If the road already planned works, extensions will be built. The test on which this contract for the use of the novel motors was based showed an apparent departure in the line of development of the gyroscope. When the motors were new we heard strange stories of the wonderful speed at which they would be able to operate trains. But th- test which satisfied the Alaska promoters was one in which a gyroscope car carried 100 passengers at the rate of 26 miles an hour. That at least seems possible, if the machines balance as well as the German ones did in Brooklyn, while the reduced cost of a single rail and the possibility of making sharp curves and taking un usual grades claimed for the gyroscope especially adapt it to use in an undj veloped, mountainous country. If this experiment succeeds, Alaskan develop ment will be hurried forward by leaps. Brooklyn Eagle. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. IFrom the Chicago News. Many a man enjoys a pipe because his. wife hates it. The morning after is responsible for many good resolutions. Rich relatives have a mania for liv ing to a ripe old age. Theatrical expense accounts com9 under the head of play bills. If there is love light in her eyes, he can safely turn down the gas. A woman doesn't enjoy writing a let ter if she really has anything to say. When you visit a meat shop th butcher is sure to give you the high sign. It is easier for some men to become famous than it is for them to earn a living. Kind words are often wasted where a swift kick would have been more ef fective. A widow may have words of praise for her late husband. But a sleepy wife, never! There is always room at the top and In a Masonic lodge a man has to work up to it by degrees. We are told that true love will con quer a great many obstacles, but pov erty and the toothache are two excep tions. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Press. Fishing for compliments seldom lands a husband. Many a man confesses a weakness only to conceal a greater one. It's just as well to look a gift auto mobile in the gasoline tank. When a fool and his money are part ed there is seldom any alimony. A soft answer may turn away wrath, but a soft snap is much surer. f It is impossible to make a lion of a man who persists in making an ass of himself.

TEE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1910. 5 C3 u A well pleased fenaioiiRM!ijgPi -...-Hill t,.jimJmjjjmmmmmmmmffgf Health and Beauty Answers BY MRS. MAE BY MRS. MAE MARTYN. Grace H.: You should not have wrin kles or a coarse-looking complexion at your age. The use of a good complexion cream will be a big aid in your efforts to have a smooth, velvety complexion. Dissolve an ounce of almozoin in a half pint cold water, and add two teaapoonfuls glycerine. Stir and let stand over night. Use this cream freely and it will do wonders for you in eradicating those wrinkles and making smaller those large, dust-collecting pores below the eyes. This cream Jelly is very fine for removing blackheads, pimples and any undesirable discoiorations of the skin. It contains no grease or oil .to cause a growth of hair, and is unequaled for massaging and removing dust and dirt from the pores of the skin which soap and water will not take out. Celia: At you request I will repeat the i flesh-reducing formula which has proven so satisfactory to hundreds of too-fat people. Dissolve four ounces of parnotis in 1 pints warm water; take one tablespoonful three times a day. This Is the harmless remedy which Is so well spoken of, and that has proven such a source of relief to over-fat people. Pre pare and take as directed, and you will not be bothered with the discomforts of too much flesh in warm weather. It generally reduces excess flesh rapidly without the necessity of dieting. Rosalie: If spectacles are so objection able to you on account of making you look older, why don't you try a strength ening tonic for your eyes? Dissolve an ounce of crystos in a half-pint water, and put a few drops of this in each eye daily. It is very strengthening to weak, tired or inflamed eyes, and may enable you to do without glasses. Many who have used this simple remedy for granulated eye lids, inflamed, weak, dull and tired eyes tell me it Is excellent. I know it Is used and prescrlbeii by many oculists, and I have always found it very fine to make one'g eyes sparkling and full of expres sion. It does not smart, but is very soothing and restful. Mrs. B. Your husband probably would show more interest in you if you were not so careless about your facial beauty. Men have always been attracted and held by woman's beauty. To get rid of that shiny, greasy, muddy look of your skin, go to the drug store and get four ounces of spirrniax, dissolve it in one-half pint hot water, and add two teaspoonfuls glycerine. Apply this to your face, neck and arms, rubbing gently until dry. It will clear up and whiten your skin, and give it that charm of youthful freshness so much envied by all women. This lo tion does not show or rub off like powder, and is much better. It is splendid for removing tan, freckles, pimples and-al-lowness of the skin. S. T. If your health were good you would not feel so overcome and tired from the heat. The pimples and blotches are an Indication that your blood Is out of order. Here is a recipe for an old fashioned home-made system tonic that Advertisement-! BEEF PRICES CHANGE AGAIN. Best Cuts Are Higher and Poorer Cuts Cheaper. Chicago, June 21. Following pre dictions made last week, packers yes terday circulated a new list of prices for dressed beef cuts which showed variations of interest to housewives. Most expensive cuts of beef were advanced half cent a pound, while the cheaper cuts were reduced to 1 cent. The revision favored the poor man's pocketbook, while It called for a larger outlay to furnish the table of the rich. Close on the heels of the reduction In beef prices came the report that a consignment of 7,000 dressed hogs had Liyn 1033 KANSAS AVENUE. customer is our best advertisement. Try us and MARTYN has helped many of my friends. Dissolve one-half cup sugar and one ounce kar dene in one-half pint alcohol; then add enough boiling water to make a full quart. A tablespoonful of this tonic before each meal helps to purify the blood, arouses a torpid liver and aids digestion. You will soon be rid of that tired feeling, and be more ambitious and energetic. This tonic is excellent for clearing up a sallow complexion, restoring lost appe tite, removing liver blotches, skin erup tions and toning up the system generally. Miss B. K.: The worry and bother of wearing hair-nets and veils to make your hair stay up and conceal that dull, stringy, unkept appearance you speak of could easily be avoided if you would stop shampooing with soap. You have made the mistake of thousands of other ladies. The alkali in soap irritates the scalp, makes the hair streaked, dull, coarse and brittle. Doubtless you have always no ticed how harsh your scalp felt after a shampoo with soap. If you will shampoo every two weeks with a teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot water, your hair will always be light, fluffy and easy to do up, besides looking decidedly neat. This shampoo lathers abundantly, dries quickly, stops itching scalp and cleanses as no other shampoo will. The luxury of extreme cleanliness of the scalp which comes from the use of this sham poo has made It so popular that many of the best hairdressers now use it ex clusively. It is inexpensive and can be bought at any drug store. Mrs. A.: If the hair on your forearms is so coarse and black that you feel em barrassed when you wear short sleeves you are justified in using a remedy to remove it. Delatone is safe and harm less and is successfully used to remove superfluous hair from face and forearms. Get an ounce of delatone from your druggist and mix It with enough water o make a paste. Cover the skin from which you wish to remove me uair wim this paste and let It remain two or three minutes, then wipe off and wash with warm water. The hair may grow again, but it will be light in color and much thinner than before. Two or three appli cations will permanently remove it. Dela tone is rather expensive, but very little Is required, and you need buy It only once. G. W. K.: You should take better care of yonr hair, as a beautiful head of natural hair is much prettier than any false hair. Any signs of hair or scalp troubles such as dandruff. Itching scalp, falling, dry, dull and brittle hair can easily be corrected by shampooing every other week with canthrox (see answer to Miss B. K.), and rubbing Into the hair roots twice a week a quinine tonic made bv dissolving one ounce qulnzoin in one half pint alcohol, then adding one-half pint cold water. Although you have been so disappointed in all the ready-made hair tonics you have tried, I know you will find this one will do what I say it will. It makes a very refreshing dressing for the hair and keeps it soft and glossy Read Mrs. Martyn's Book, "Beauty, 6 been received in San Francisco from China.

EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "It costs so much more to be well dressed than it used to," is the perpet ual cry of all the women 'who make any pretensions to smartness. And. "It costs so much more to be even Dresentably dressed than it used to," is the wail of their less pre tentious sisters. And both are decidedly inclined to blame this sad state of affairs upon the hisrh nrices orevailing everywhere. But does all the blame belong there? For myself, I do not think so. It seems to me that the reason we spend so much more money upon our clothes than we did ten years ago, and are still no better dressed, is largely a matter of ridiculously Inflat ed standards. What do I mean? Well, let me tell you a little person al experience of my own wardrobe to illustrate. Some years ago a. friend of mine had a pretty black and white check silk for a summer afternoon and dres sy house gown. I always admired it immensely and this year decided to have one myself. I confided as much to my dress maker. "But will it be dressy enough for what you want?" she asked. I thought the question absurd at the time, but since then l nave seen so many women bound on informal calls or shopping expeditions, wear ing blue and white or black and white check silks that I have been forced to realize that the gown I planned, under the present style conditions, is proper for a general utility dress, but aDso lutely impossible for a dressup gown. Now. that little Incident seems to me to epitomize the reason why it costs so much more to be well aressea than it used to. It isn't that black and white check silk costs much more than it did ten years ago. It is Just because the black and white check silk gown that used to be a rather dressy gown, suitable for afternoon functions, has now de scended to the rank of general utility and street wear gown. To fill its place as afternoon gown. something proportionately above it in expense and elaborateness must, of course, be substituted, and in order to maintain its rank as the dressiest dress of all, the evening gown must also become correspondingly more elaborate and expensive. Do you remember how dressed up you used to feel in your best white waist five or six years ago? It was a dainty little affair, embroidered and lace trimmed, and when you wore it you felt that you could go to a swell afternoon tea or dine at a high-class restaurant without looking at all dowdy. Today in that same waist you would not feel at all dressed up. Tou put it on for an informal call, or a shop ping excursion, but you would feel very much underdressed if you wore it to a formal function or to dine at the dressy restaurant. A woman who knows the question from A-Z writes in a recent magazine about comparative values In much this same vein: "One may today in Paris buy the identical waists that were for sale ten years ago, at the identical prices; but with the change in fashion has come a corresponding change in the uses to which the same garment is put. The thirty or forty-dollar waists of that period would be very pretty today, but one would wear them now where the eight-dollar waists were worn before, in order to be dressed at about the same degree of smartness." That seems to be the crux of the very high cost of dressing well that we complain of today. Not that materials or workmanship are so much more expensive, but sim ply that we have moved all our stan dards up one peg. Will they go up a peg more In the next decade? Will we soon wear fragile lingerie waists in the morning and to business. and take to chiffon and embroidery for simple afternoon gowns? And If we do, what will be left for our very best evening dresses? And how long are we going to keep up this absurd quickening of the pace? Seems to me these are a few pretty good questions for home and club discussion among women. Banquet for Judge Phillips. The members of the bar of the west ern district of Missouri will give a re ception and banquet in honor or Judge Phillips and Judge Van Valkenburg at the Baltimore hotel, Kansas City, on June 25, promptly at 8 p. tn.

And Pancakes Baked by Heat of Sun. Arranging For Chautauqua at Garfield Park. The present hot -weather recalls the hot June of the early '70 to the old res idents. Among them is J. H. Foucht, who tells how he narrowly missed a (sunstroke that Eeason. "It was a fearfully hot month," said Mr. Foucht. "Some days it was said that the thermometer stood over 100 in the shade. It was also reported that ipancakns were made on hoe, with the lieat of the sun, and that bread was (baked without the aid of Are, although I can't swear to the truth of those stories. However, there is one thing that I can vouch for and that is that BABY'S SCALP ALL CRUSTED OVER With Eczema That Broke Out when but Three Months Old Burned and Itched So She Could Not Sleep Chance of Cure Seemed Slight CURE BY CUTICURA EASY AND COMPLETE "Our little daughter, -when three tnonths old, began to break out on the bead and we had the beat doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any flood. They said she had eczema. Her eyes became crossed from the disease and her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read an advertisement of the Cuti cura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint ment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolv ent and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Re solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to Improve rapidly and In two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. Her eyes were perfectly straight when she recovered and have been so ever since. She is now sixteen years of age and is a picture of health. We know the Cuticura Reme dies cured her and have used them in our family ever since. "We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected with any disease. She suffered with burning and itching and hard, scaly, dandruff-looking scabs all over her head and in places on her body. We used no other treatments after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt. Vernon, Ky., Oct. 12, 1909."

"I closed my school at Tecumseh June 20 we taught further into the summer than we do now. A friend of mine, John Perrin by name, now a doctor in Indiana, had been my assistant dur ing the winter at Tecuimseh, but was just finishing a spring term at Menc ken. Near that place I had some land and I thought I would go over the day after my school closed to see my friend and look at my property. "For exercise I walked from Topeka, four mile:-, out to my place, saw Mr. Perrin and started, to walk back. 1 kept getting warmer and warmer, but plodded on. Just south of where the reform school now is, I began to feel faint and finally was forced to rest under the shade of a large elm tree. I lay there a couple of hours and then came on to the city. I believe if I hadn't stopped I would have been sun struck. As it was it took aibout a week before I was able to work. "What did we do during our vaca tions? Anything we could get to do. In the summer of 1869 I helped J. B. Mc Afee make hay on the place now occu pied by his son, Henry McAfee, on the West Sixth street road. I then made my first haystack, 50x12 feet.

People used to think that baldness was one of those things which are handed down from generation to gen eration, from father to son just like a family heirloom. Science has shown the falseness of this belief by proving that baldness, itself is not a constitutional disease, but the result of a germ invasion of which only Herpicide can effectually rid the scalp. Washing only cleans the scalp of Dandruff, its doesn't kill the germs. "Destroy the cause you remove the effect." Newbro's Herpicide will do this in every case. It Is also a delightful dressing.

A party of, about 56 active and hon orary members of the Christian En deavor of the First Congregational church will leave by the 10:25 Union Pacific train tomorrow to spend the day picnicking at Silver Lake. The party will occupy a special coach. Boating and fishing will be the pas time. Secretary Geo. Badders of the Com mercial club is looking around for an other pool table to put in the new pool and billiard room of the Commercial club. During the noon hour this room is now a most popular place, but there are many of the men who find that they are unable to "get in on the game." Crosby Brothers Dry Goods com pany is planning to occupy the two upper floors of the building on Jack son street formerly owned by L. Beard Co. The floors which are 40x150 feet will be used as furniture' sales rooms. They will be connected with the Crosby building by tearing out the back walls. It has been said that some drivers of automobiles put pedestrians In two classes the quick and the dead. One auto owner In Topeka is determined as far as he is concerned at least,, that there will be but the former class. He has a noise making contrivance on his machine that sounds like the cry of a baby, and which is startling in the ex treme. Wonder what the next brand of noise will be! Members of the Christian church in Topeka are beginning to make active preparations for the big national con vention of the church which will bring about 10,000 people to the capital city. If Topeka is to entertain her guests properly hundreds ofjpeople will have to open their homes to the delegates. The hotel accommodations of the city are entirely inadequate to care for more than a small percentage of the delegates. A meeting of the board of trustees of the John Brown Memorial met at the Capitol building to make arrangements for the dedication of the park at Osa watomie August 22. Another meeting will be held in the near future. Those composing the board are: Mrs. Cora M. Deputy of Manhattan, Major Rem ington of Osawatomie,: W. H.

ROOSF7V ELT IN FILM SHOWS. New Yorkers Saw Pictures 24 Hours After Parade. New York, June 21s The audiences at the American Music Hall and Roof Garden Sunday afternoon and last night saw the arrival in the harbor, the reception and the parade in honor of ex-President Roosevelt from end to end. This establishes a new record in the developing and presentation of mo tion pictures. The pictures show the harbor full of boats of every descrip tion as the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria comes gliding toward quarantine. Colonel Roosevelt is clearly seen smil ing and bowing to the-cheering of the multitude. His meeting with Mayor Gaynor and his gestures in the act of making his speech at the Battery are clearly shown.

Bows of all kinds tied free while you wait. At the Grand. "They say marriages are made in heaven. I'm going to wait until I get there." This Is a sample of the remarks made in "Facing the Music," a three act "comiclet" which is being played by the North Bros, stock company at the Grand this week. The company was transplanted from the Majestic to the Grand this week because the big theater is cooler. Incidentally the stage is much larger and the productions can be put on with better effect. The building will be equipped with elec tric fans. Two have already been en stalled. But, "the play's the thing," and "Facing the Music," written by Jas. Henry Darnley, is one of the best comedies ever presented by the North Brothers company. Because of a kind act on the part of one John Smith, who rescues an actress in distress, and because the wife of the other John Smith has moved by mistake into the apartments of the former, during her husband's absence, all sorts of compli cations and the most laughable situa tions arise. The plot becomes thick enough to be cut with the proverbial knife, and intricate enough to engage the attention of "Togo" Drenning, or C. B. Burge. However, in the last act, the mystery solves itself, just in time to prevent domestic unhappiness, and it is presumed that the characters lived "happily ever afterwards." As presented by North Bros, last night the play was full of fun and life from beginning to end. Laughs popped up continually. A person couldn't help laughing for the complications which arose were the best grin pro ducers seen here for some time. Then also, the play was given with a dash which added much to the fun. Nearly every one of the actors and "lady-actors" might be called a "star" in this play. "Sport" North was at his best as the "lead," John Smith, the other Mr. Smith, Robert Blaylock made a hit as the solemn visaged vicar. Miss Genevive Russell, as his wife, "Mrs. John Smith" was up to her usual standard, and of course the work of Miss Ruth Robinson, as the wife of the other Mr. Smith was pleasing. The other parts were well acted. Some pretty gowns were worn by the women but a mere man couldn't describe them. Any way they looked "awfully"nice and of course the wear ers did also. Miss Robinson wore an elegant black dress and a big black hat over which drooped a snow white plume, giving a cooling and pleasing snowdrift effect. Isn't that refresh ing? As the church people would say, "A goodly number" were present. Down stairs and upstairs the seats were fair ly well filled. The bill for next week is "The Man From the West," and "Facing the Mu sic," will be continued at the Grand this week. At the Air Dome. The air dome, which now shows moving pictures is receiving a large share of patronage. The subjects are good and please the majority of those who are attending. At the Novelty.

Unless Taken in large Knougli Doses, an Expert Testifies. Kansas City, Mo, June 21. Pierce Butler, special United States district attorney of St. Paul, Minn., began the cross examination of Dr. John A. Wesener, president of the Columbus laboratory, Chicago, In the bleached flour trial in the federal court here to day. During the cross examination ex tracts of testimony given by Dr. Wese ner at a hearing before Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson were read to the witness. Attorney Butler brought the witness to admit that he had testified at a hearing before Secretary Wilson in 1908 that yeast and the processes used in parching bread destroyed the ni trites in bleached flour. Dr. Wesener added that at that time, before he had experimented so much with bleached flour, he believed it contained ni trites. The witness was further quoted as testifying before Secretary Wilson that the process of bleaching flour was a "very fine advance in the art of mill ing and that there was virtually no dif ference in the bread made from bleached and unbleached flour." He said the testimony represented his views still. The witness said that raw flour was a poison if taken in sufficient quanti ties. Pressed further by Attorney But ler, he said that bread was a poison if taken in a sufficient quantity. He said that strychnine and cyanide were not poison unless taken in sufficiently large doses. "Then," shouted Attorney Butler, "if I were to give Judge Scarritt here a little cyanide in his biscuits every day I should not be guilty of administering poison to him unless the quantity were 'sufficiently large.' "I repeat," answered Dr. Wesener, "that the question of whether or not a substance is poison depends entirely upon the quantity administered." LOOK FOR PRETTY GIRLS They May Be Seen Everywhere on Tag Day. Before they have hardly had time to brush the cobwebs from their eyes, the Topeka people on their way to their respective places of business on Saturday morning will be held up by pretty maidens, who will ask them in a most bewitching manner to buy a tag To be brief, Saturday will be Tag day" and It is hoped that no one will miss an opportunity to help along a good cause. A tag will cost anywhere from one cent to $1,000, according to the gen erosity of the person confronted by one of the merry workers. Last year Tag day proved a great success, and it is hoped that the event on Saturday will bring even better results. A BIG DAY. The Angust Clothing Oompan- Broke All Records Saturday. David J.

Theodore Roose velt received an average of more than 100 wireless messages a day during his trip across the Atlantic. His presence on the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria was responsible also for a flood of outgoing messages. The total number of words received and transmitted established a record In transatlantic travel. Two young German operators, Kurl Schick3 and Walter Podenstein. both of Hamburg, were in charge of the Kais erin's wireless apparatus. They work ed alternately day and night, averag ing about four hours' sleep per day for the voyage. Their reports to the steamship com pany showed that the total number of words received and transmitted was slightly over 60.000, about evenly divid ed between incoming and outgoing messages. The recetots from the ship were $6.000 more than double the high est amount ever reecived by the wire less company on a transatlantic trip on any vessel. The messages received by Col. Roose velt were from every corner of the globe. King George of England and banks were among the notables who banks weer among the notables who had greetings for him in midocean. Col. Roosevelt at first attempted to reply to each one but before the voyage was fairly under way, the messages came in such numbers that ne was compelled to let them go unanswered. The squad of press representatives who came across the Atlantic with the ex-president, included ten correspond ents, three cartoonists and five photog raphers on the ship. DEFENSE RESTS. Without Putting Browne on the Stand in Bribery Case. Chicago, June 21.

The latter, It had been reported at one time, would also be a witness but he did not aripear during the trial.

YnrV SfnMr nf fin o HUSBAND HER "ANGEL" Margaret Illington Will Still Darn Socks Though on Stage. New York, June 21. Margaret Illing ton (Mrs. Edward J. Bowes), who is to return to the stage, said today with the consistent inconsistency of woman that, whereas, she had given up the stage forever to become a normal wo manly woman and please her husband, she had learned in seven brief months that it would be the perfectly normal thing for her to please her husband by going back to the stage. "I know it will please him," Mis3 Illington said with a demure look up into the big blue eyes of the huge Mr. Bowes. "Tickle me to death," boomed the vast westerner. "Outrage to waste her talent. But, say, don't she look fine like a kid of 16? Just look at that bloonrin her cheek! Got that right out of our sunsets out west." "The simple democratic life and darning socks seem to have agreed with Miss Illington," assented the re porter. "Socks, eh exclaimed Mr. Bowes. "That's right; she can darn 'em. Nary a hole In these o' mine. And when she goes out on the road I'll go along when I can. She'll have her own private car and can take the socks along." It was then explained by Mrs. Bowes that "hubby" was going to be the angel this time, and that he was going to be about the most lavish angel that ever was. "I have got a French piece," said Mrs. Bowes, "an adaptation that I feei sure will please. Mr.. Bowes will get me the best support that can be bought." Mr. Bowes will spend about $50,000 in launching his wife's new venture. Then she would be provided with a luxurious private car, which would be her home. She would take her own cook along and the same darning ball she has been using ever since she be came Mrs. Bowes. "I want her to do Shakespeare,", he said, looking down upon her with in finite pride, "and I believe she can. I know she can, and I am not going to have her go to seed at home when sho can be out developing her talent. She has got the divine fire, she has. Ever since the spring she has been flooded with letters begging her to come back to the stage." Only seven months have passed since Margaret Illington foreswore the stage and the bonds that tied her to her elderly husband and manager, Daniel Frohman. Her last big success in "The Thief had palled on her; the glamour of the stage had utterly lost its attrac tion. She was sick unto death of un realities. She yearned for the true realisms of life, such as socks to dam and babies to rear. She wanted to be a "real" woman, and no woman, she believed, could be "real" without babies or socks to darn, or other duties that fall to the lot of the commonplace wife. Edward J. Bowes is a millionaire real estate dealer of Tacoma, Wash. SHE WEDS AlORD. Mildred Carter, American Girl, Be comes Lady Acheson. London, June 21. Miss Mildred Car ter, only daughter of John Ridgely Car ter, American minister to Roumania, Servia and Bulgaria, and Lord Acheson, oldest son of Lord and Lady Gosford, were married in St. George's church in Hanover square this afternoon. This was one of the weddings of the season which had been anticipated with much Interest by the late King Edward because of the close-connection of the parents of the bridegroom with the royal household and his majesty's per sonal friendship for Mr. Carter. Canon Shephard, subdean of the chapel royal, officiated, assisted by the Rev. D. Anderson, rector of St. George's. The bride, who was given away by her father, was attended by seven bridesmaids, two pages and a little girl. The bridesmaids were Miss Elsie Nich oll of New York; Lady Theodosia Acheson. sister of the bridegroom; Miss Rhoda Astley, Miss Camille Morgan, and Mile. Irene De La Grange, cousin of the bride; Lady Victoria Stanley, laughter or Lord ana Laay Demy, and Miss Marion Scranton. The pages were Masters David Stanley and Julian Ward, sons of Lady Aldra Stanley and Lady Mary Ward, respectively, and the flower girl was Miss Diana Roberts, daughter of Mrs. Marshall Roberts. Miss Carter wore a gown of whitft satin draped with old Venetian lace and veil de Venice. A rope of pearls, the g'.ft of Lord and Lady Gosford, was her enly Jewelry. The bridgegroom was iiccompcnied by his brother, Lieut. Patrick Acheson of the British navy. The reception that followed at Dor chester house, the home of American Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, brought together most of the members of London's social set and was as bril liant as the nuptial ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Carter gave their Lon don residence as a wedding present. Among the other gifts were a diamond bandeau from Ambassador and Mrs Reid, Jewels and furs from Lord and Lcdy Gasford and a diamond tiara from Mrs. David Morgan, grandmother of the bride. BADGES OF HEROISM. Is What Vice President Sherman Calls Pensions and Soldiers' Homes. Syracuse, N; Y., June 21. The orator of the day at the unveiling here today of the monument to the soldiers of the civil war .was Vice President James Sherman. As he looked upon the fresh grantite and newly molded bronze of the im pressive monument Just being unveil ed, the vice president pronounced it to be a fitting recognition of the passion ate patriotism which, held together the states of the Union. "This is but one form of testimonial to the Boys in Blue," said the vice president, "and its value and mean ing are multiplied and intensified be cause there is not lacking other forms of expression of the people's gratitude to the-nation's preservers." For the veterans still living, he point ed out that nearly half a hundred sol diers' homes offered oare and comfort to nearly 40,000 maimed and infirm who have suffered from the wounds and hardships of war. A eenerous govern ment with lavish hand had made pro vision, he said, to aid the living and help or succor the dear survivors of the hero dead by pensions. "Neither the monuments we dedi cate," said he, "nor the soldier homes and pensions the nation provides is a charity. All are acknowledgments of Just debts, the payment of sacred ob ligations. They are decorations, badges of heroism, more nobly earned than the ribbon of the French Legion of Honor, or the garter of the British Knighthood. "The people of today have no fear of too generous treatment to the soldiers of the sixties. Their Just merits are to be measured by the grandeur of the nation which they preserved, by what it was, by what it is, by what In all the years to come it will be. "The greatest, the most beautiful, the most perfect monument that could be raised to our soldiers," he said, "they themselves builded in the Union they saved." IS GETTING A REST. Colonel Roosevelt Had But One Caller This Blorning. Oyster Bay. N. Y., June 21. Theodore Roosevelt today had the first day of the secrecy which he has declared he must have. He had only one caller this morning, H. M. Hobsont; secretary of the committee of the Hamilton club of Chicago, which came east to attend the reception to Mr. Roosevelt on Satur day. Mr. Hobson was the bearer of a letter from John H. Batten of Chicago, vice president of the club, asking Col. Roosevelt to receive the Chicagoans before their return home tomorrow right. Mr. Roosevelt arranged a reception for them tomorrow morning at his edi torial offices, in New York. Later in the summer Colonel Roosevelt will go to Chicago as the guest of the Hamilton club, and will make a speech there. This probably 'will be the first speech that he will make.

WHEAT STILL CLIMBS No Rain Reports Cause Another Big Advance at Chicago. Chicago, June 21. Still no rain in the Northwest. This was the burden of messages from the Dakotas and Minne sota today and as "a result the wheat pit of the board of trade here fairly boiled with excitement. September wheat, which closed yesterday at 94c, showed opening bids today ranging from 95c to 97c, the latter figure be ing an advance of 2c: In the spring wheat country the weather was said to be scorching with the temperature averaging over 90. degrees. Today's official weather forecast was not comforting to farm ers. It promised light showers in Min nesota and cloudy for the Dakotas. A Minneapolis newspaper is quoted as stating that heavy general rains must fall within two days or growers will begin to plough under their crops. A closing spurt based on the fact that the trading- day came to an end without the needed rain sent September to 9S4c and the close was at 97c Sc. Des Moines, la., June 21.

Samuel Says That Western Towns Have New Life. A, G. Samuel, president of thrSam uel Advertising company of St. Joseph, was the speaker this noon In connec tion with a meeting of the Topeka Ad club, which was attended by 45 mem bers. Two years ago Mr. Samuels was chosen as first vice president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of Amer ica, and he is a man of broad experi ence along advertising lines. He spoke particularly In regard to the value of the use of color in ad vertising, but began his remarks by telling of the Ad club in St. Joe. of which he is a member. "In St. Joe. our ad club has taken a pretty bold stand in respect to mu nicipal affairs, and we have gained the confidence of the people. We have done much to better local conditions and started the movement for a 'city beautifuL' However. I am inclined to think that our club sometimes gets too far away from real advertising subjects. "We are all proud of our city. Our western towns are beginning to realize that there is now but little struggle for competition between neighboring cities, but that it is beginning to be a struggle between the east and the west. In ten years we will have great manu facturing interests In the west, and there will be a great contest for trade. "We are entering a new age in ad vertising. The public is going to be ed ucated to the use of new goods, and to buy a better quality of goods. "The farmers of the country are go ing to be able to market all products, and waste will be eliminated.

Sweating dashing horses, swaying flashing wagons, clanging crashings gongs, fiery smoking fire engines, and grim anxious firemen centered at Eighth and Kansas avenue at 2 o'clock this afternoon and that was all. An alarm had been turned in from the rear of the Eagle cigar store, 729 Kansas avenue. Someone saw two crossed electric light wires flashing and spitting fire and they thought that the fire department would be a good resource thus the alarm. The firemen from the downtown en gine houses made a good showing and got out of their houses In good time only to turn around and return. "I am a firm believer in the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," said Chief Wilmarth, and in a case of this kind I will never object tao unimportant alarms. This is a valuable business block and I had rather have the boys make an un necessary run than have someone wait until the fire was under headway be fore they pulled the box." Then he gave his men the command to return and the flashy apparatus, the sweaty horses and the disappointed men went back to their stations.
