Chatted Pleasantly With Crowd Around Car. Bickard Says He'll Be Glad W hen It's Over. Reno, Nev., July 2.-The confusion end general squabble over the details of the ring and arena took a new an gle this morning when Jack Johnson motered into the city in search of Tex Rickard. Johnson declared he was not satisfied with the overhanging of the r.latform outside the ropes. The roped square is 22 feet and the platform it Mlf a little over 23 feet. Johnson want ed more space beyond the ropes and v.-as after Rickard to see that an ad ditional foot all round is added, giving the usual two feet of platform beyond the ropes. The big negro's appearance in town created much interest and a rush or i.ew -comers for his motor which drew vp in front of Riekard's hotel. Johnson came in as the guest of Dick Shevlm, the Yale athlete, in the latter's car. No eooner had it stopped in front of the rotel than a curious throng Jammed about it, staring at the big black fight er who sat in the tonneau. laughing end joking, apparently with no though, of the great battle but two days off. Whenever he comes to town, he dress es in a loose fitting square cut black Fuit. with soft shirt, open at the throat, and a Panama hat. Tins garb accentuates his size and he looks among the crowd, seemingly as big as eny othar two men in sight. While ne sat in the car today his "golden smile Hashed continually on the picturesque throng pressing around him. Rickard Slips Away. iRirkard came down from his room cbout 9 o'clock. He looked as though he had spent a restful night in spite of the worries, and ever-recurring ob stacles that have confronted him at al most every sttp. "Suppose you'll be glad when its all over, Tex." was suggested. "You bet I will." said Rickard. "But I feel tine today. Slept all night." A swarm of "war" correspondents had already gathered in the hotel lobby. They began a flank move ment on the promoter, hut he evaded the rush and slipped across the street to a cafe for breakfast. While Johnson waited-. Rickard was breakfasting in seclusion and was not to be found. However the discussion regarding the ring between the fighter and promoter would be held later in the day. One of the first matters to which Rickard was booked to give his attention today was the putting up of the balance of the $101,000 purse. Stakeholder "Big" Tim Sullivan al ready has $50,000 of the money in band. Twenty thousand was deposited in New York when the articles were signed and $30,000 more went into a San Francisco bank vault about two months ago. This amount was brought to Reno and today $51,000 was added to it in a local bank before noon. Crlcbritiej Coming In. Every train going east and west to day left many additions to the crowd of prospective fight sports here. A number of ring celebrities were due to arrive in the latter part of the day. in cluding Eob Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey. Besides these many sporting men from all parts of the country, and largo additions to the army of sporting writers and literary men already mobilized were expected. With early hours of the morning th.i city began to show something of the excited expectancy that will not pass away until the Fourth Is over. Here tofore there have been few of the fight followers abroad before 10 oclock in the forenoon, most of the gossiping and before the prize fight arguments being confined to the afternoon and evening and lasting until the wee sma' j hours of the morning. Today, however, the hotel lobbies were crowded before 9 o'clock. Crowds rushed to the depot to meet every train ard the clamor welcome-, resounded along the platform as the cars disgorg ed the dusty travelers. "Well, how does it look now?" was the first greeting from every new ar rival. Because of the many and sud den changes in the fight situation the test week, any one who has been out of touch with Reno for two days or more, feared that something else might have happened to bring about another cranae. "Everything fine and lovely," was the reassuring response to all their inquir ies. "The fighters ready, arena ready and crowds coming in every minute." Mrs. Jeffries in Reno. Whilo her husband played cards at his Moana Springs cottage, and talked of Truckee river trout, Mrs. James J. Jeffries, in the interests of the family, spent most of the morning in Reno, saving money in attorney's fees. For more than an hour the was in the of fice of the lawyer who drafted the con tract between Jeffries and the moving picture concern to which the former i hampion recently sold" his share in the Liograph films, effecting a material re duction in the size Of the original $5 -000 fee claimed by the man of law for his services. Jeffries Plays Hearts. Jeffries Training Camp, Moana Springs, Nev., July 2. A game of hearts conducted with a great deal of noise and jollity, occupied Jeffries this morning to the exclusion of any thought or consideration of the bat tle on July Fourth. Frank Gotch champion wrestler and close friend to Jeffries. Dick Adams of the train ing staff, Eddie Leonard and Harry Monahan were Jeffries rivals In the game. It was carried on for several hours during the forenoon and Jef fries lailfrhArl arA -l I.;.".

Monday, July 4th. The State Journal has ar ranged with Charles Crews, the auctioneer with the megaphone voice, to call the fight in detail from an upstairs window of this building. The contest Is scheduled to start at 3:30 p. m.. Topeka time. The news of the fight will flash over the Associated Press wires which run direct from the ringside into the State Journal building Just as the battle ac tually proceeds so the public here at Topeka will know- the result almost In stantly. The State Journal will be issued immediately at the. close of the fight, giving the people of Topeka a detailed account in Its regular edition. News boys will be on hand quickly at the baseball park, railway stations and all parks with a complete story of the fight by rounds within a few minutes after the championship of the world has been settled. he could say as to what his day's pro gram might be was, "I don't know. Depends on what I want to do." Gotch arrived early. Jeffries is particularly fond of Gotch since their association on the stage before Jef fries began training. He thinks that Frank is the greatest wrestler that ever locked arms with an opponent and Gotch has the same opinion of Jeffries as a fighter. Jeffries' inclination is to direct his own movements from now until he faces Johnson. He was asked today whether he planned to do any more work. "I couldn't say," he replied. "If I feel like working, I will. If I feel like loafing, I will do that. If I feel like fishing, I will fish. All I say is that I hope nobody asks me to go fishing on the morning of the fight." "Surely you wouldn't go," chorused the bystanders. "I'd be darned likely to do just that," answered Jeffries, grinning at the con sternation his words brought to the group. Quiet at Johnson's Camp. Johnson's Training Camp, Ricks Roadhouse, Reno, Nev., July 2. It was a quiet day at Johnson's camp. The champion got up at his usual hour and the fir.t caller after breakfast was Dick Shevlin, the Yale athlete, who came in his machine, and asked John son to accompany him on a trip. Jack agreed as he desired to Inspect the arena presently. He climbed in and accompanied by several trainers, was whizzed away to town.- It was dull around the camp last night Most of the. training staff was downtown, gossipping and keeping a careful eye on the betting. Johnson went to bed early and nothing was heard from his personal headquarters until he was called for breakfast. After his return from the arena, Jack retired to his rooms to rest. He discussed the proposed extension of the ring platform with several mem bers of the staff and insisted that ad dition must be made. Johnson expects to do a. little road work late in the day. He said that he would "just rest" until the time and when he went up to his room was bubbling with good humor, apparently deserting the crowd below stairs w t h great reluctance and because of train r n,,rimitits. not from any in clination toward solitude. Betting Expert-. ea r v it--l- T.,iu Fred J. Brooks, who has placed thousands of dollars on previous championship fights and handles the bulk of Wall street wag ers on elections and fistic events, says i i over the betting situation of the Jeffries-Johnson contest.

The farm and the ranch will decide whether there are to be any modifications of food prices in the near future in the opin ion of J. Ogden Armour, who with his wife arrived today on fhe steamer La Provence from an automobiling tour in France. Mr. Armour said he would leave at once for Chicago. "I do not think there will be a ma terial change in prices until the new crop of corn is harvested and until, I may add, we get a new crop of live stock," said Mr. Armour, when asked about possible reductions in food com modity prices. "The latter mattes- is oue which is seldom seen in its true light, I fear, by the general public. At any rate it has not been given due significance in agitations which have sprung up recently in regard to the price of food supplies." Mr. Armour characterized as "ridi culous and untrue," published reports that large quantities of meat were be ing held in storage. MEN STILL WANTED. The Shortage of Harvest Hands Still Continues. Charles Harris, director of the state free employment bureau, says there ;s still a great demand for harvest hands In the following counties of Kansas: Gray, Rush, Ellis. Trego. Osborne, Rooks, Phillips, Smith, Decatur, Nor ton, Ford, Thomas, Kingman and Kiowa. A few are also being called for in Ellsworth and some other counties. Persons desiring work in the harvest fields. Mr. Harris says, will be sure of securing what they desire if they will call on the county clerk of any of these counties. He makes this statement f ir the benefit of parties arriving In ths state during Sunday and Monday, when the state house will be closed. Mr. Harris asks that --all -Kaosaa-'aRif "Trfis souri daily papers copy this item, as a matter of news which will benefit the public at large. H. L. Baker, of LaCrosse, Rush county, sent word to Mr. Harris yes terday that a thousand extra hands were now wanted at that place. Sirs. Susan Murray Gives $50,000. Washington, July 2.

Dolley Makes Prompt Replj to Kramer. Itemized Account of Expendi tures of Contingent Fund. KOASTS POLITICIANS. Dolley Does Not Mince Words in Branding Them. Tom Cordry Has Edited Many Kansas Papers. 1 J. N. Dolley, state bank commis sioner and chairman of the Republican state committee, believes in making a prompt reply to any charge made against him or his official work. Yes terday he was assailed by Secretary Kramer of the Wasstaft committee in regard to the use he was making of his contingent fund. Today Mr. Dolley makes pointed reply to Mr. Kramer as follows: Mr. J. D. Kramer, Secretary Wagstaff Campaign Committee, Topeka, Kan.: In reply to your communication ad dressed to me under date of July 1, I will state that I court an investiga tion of this department. I presume the attorney general and the governor would readily agree to an investiga tion of their departments, and I am quite certain when that investigation was finished that it would not be the same kind of a showing that was made by an investigation, or audit, by the present accountant of the different of fices in the state house, under a for mer administration, whereby those of fices were compelled to pay back into the state treasury thousands of dol lars that had been grafted for the per sonal use of the occupants of the of fices. I will ask you. Mr. Kramer, if it is not a fact that practically all of the parties who appropriated the. state's money for their own personal use are not earnestly and actively supporting Mr. Wagstaff at this time for governor. My contingent fund Is expended un der the clerical management of Miss Anna Speck, a competent official, who has served the state for ten years un der Bank Commissioners Albaugh. Royce, Albright and myself. It has teen exipended also under the careful official scrutiny of two competent and faithful state officers the state audi tor and state accountant. A quibble is raised as to the phrase ology used in the preparation of th.3 vouchers. At most that would be but a clerical error which I do not con cede, since the vouchers and their ex penditure pass muster, without criti cism except frorn Secretary Kramer of the discredited political machine and Nemo the fellow ashamed of his name. I have no excuse or apology to offer as to these transactions and expect to continue to transact this part of the office work in the future as in the past, if conditions warrant it. It is an old saying, but it is the truth, "Birds of a feather flock to gether" and men are judged by the com pany with Which they are associated. I will be pleased to continue this pleasant correspondence until the polls close August 2. You know Governor Stubbs will be overwhelmingly nomi nated for governor and if corresponding with me will helt to heal the ugly sores v. ith which you and your bunch are af- (Continued on Page Four.) ALL READY FOR THE BIG NOISE: SMOKE IS IN THE ATMOSPHERE. Tomorrow "Smudge" of Forest Fires Will Be Gone. That musty looking atmosphere of the last few days when you thought you lcoked.at the sun through smoked glasses really was smoke. It was the smoke from the forest fires that have been raging along Lake Superior. O ooz ing through the stagnant atmosphere, just barely moved along by the north and easterly wind, the "smudge" has reached us. A little wind from another direction will blow it away. No longer is it be ing fed at its source. The sun as red as a lake fog moon tomorrow will be clean again and hot. The sun has about reached the angle of suffocation.

STUBBS AT JUNCTION. Governor Well Received and Good Meeting Held. Junction City, Kan., July 2. Gov ernor Stubbs made a characteristic speech here last night, and extended no mercy to any of the men opposing him. He named them, then told why they were opposing him: The crowd, which was a large one for a political gathering in Junction City,- listened to him and was apparently in hearty sym pathy. The governor arrived from Con cordia, and was met at the station by B. H. Hemenway, president of the local Stubbs club, and Mayor Muenzenmay er, who la a candidate for the legis lature, and a committee made up of other professional and business men In the afternoon he visited his friends. This county gave Stubbs' a majority of only S3 two years ago and his friends claim he will carry by a much larger majority. G. W. Schmidt, repre sentative from Geary 'county, is a Wagstaff man, and says Wagstaff will carry the county. E. H. Hemenway, president of the Stubbs cluh, says Stubba will carry the county by a greater majority than he received two years ago. r The Woodman band gave a concert in the park before the governor bega.i talking. CRASH IN STOCKS. A Number of Causes Which. Con trfbuted to the. .Disturbance. New York, July 2. The crash in prices of stocks this week came as a culmination .of successive disappoint ments of hopes of conserving the spec ulative position. Throwing over of long standing accounts of stock market pools made the acute weakness. The demands of the banks to strengthen the credit position to meet the autumn requirements came upon a market weakened by the decline in condition of spring, wheat and the op position to the plan for raising railroad rates. The order of the interstate com merce commission affecting the in tricate intermountain railroad sched ules was the immediate factor which threw the market into confusion. WAGSTAFF IN EUREKA. He Has Good Meeting in Greenwood County. Severy, Kari., July 2. Thomas Wag staff and party arrived here last even ing on their southward speechmaking swing of the state. At 3 o'clock in the "afternoon Mr. Wagstaff was billed for Kureka at the court house. Four hundred were pres ent and others hung around on the outside. Ex-State Senator G. H. Lamb, who accompanied Wagstaff, made an en thusiastic address. "I certainly can't help but feel kind ly In the face of all these good things that are being showered on me," said Mr. Wagstaff after the meeting. The Wagstaff party arrived from Eureka at Severy in the evening. A local reception committee was on hand to meet the candidate. Two hundred and fifty were already on hand waiting impatiently when ,Mr. Wagstaff arrived, shortly after r 8 o'clock. A delegation from Fallriver, to the east of Severy, came down on the train to be present at the meeting. From here Mr.-Wagstaff went to Fredonia and Neodesha, speaking at Fredonia in the afternoon and Neo desha in the evening. TO GO INTO SECLUSION. President Taft Will Shut Himself Up for Ten Days.

Beverly, Mass.,' July 2. After the celebration of a sane and safe Fourth of July a great silence is to fall over Beverly. For ten days no one is to be permitted to see President Taft on any pretext of business. He will golf and motor and sail for ten full days. Even Secretary Norton, who has ably assisted the president in the rapid pace he has been going during the last five or six weeks, is to leave not to re turn until July 15. Mr. Norton will visit his family at St. James, L. I., where he had taken a cottage for the summer prior to leaving the treasury department. -President Taft played golf this morning at Miicepaya with his brother, Henry W. Taft of New York, who is visiting the W. J, Boardmans at Man chester. BILLINGS BANK CLOSED. Pronounced Insolvent by the Comp troller of the Currency. Washington. July 2.

The United States circuit court of appeals has af firmed a Judgment for $20,000 award ed to Samuel Dempster, a resident of Pittsburg, against Colonel William Mann and the Town Topics Publishing company. The suit was tried in May 1909, on account of alleged libellous statements printed in Town Topics concerning Mr. Dempster. MAY DRAW IHF.1 IN Strong Movement to Get Boose Telt Into Politics. New York Legislatiye Action Has Raised an Issue. A BOOST FOK LODGE. The Senator Sajs the Colonel Will Help Him. But the Latter Declines to Com mit Himself Publicly. Oyster Bay, N. Y July 2. Theo- dora Roosevelt as a "native oyster," m nis own phrase, is to be mora ac tive this summer than faunal natural ists have hithert found oysters, na tive or otherwise. Colonel Roosevelt does not wish to hedge himself about with formalities. and at the same time he has work to do which demands his time. Accord- ingly, all visitors come by appoint- ment, but since there is no executive office here to do the, weeding out. ap pointments are made at the colonel's editorial offices in New York. "iui iiun coherence was expect ed this afternoon with three western insurgents, but their names were with held until their actual arrival because appointments announced in advance do not always materialize. The colonel is painstaking in his informal chats, not meant for direct Quotation, to in dicate that he is not wooing insurg- ency. Insurgents come to him; he does not summon them. Governor mm tor an expression of opinion on direct primaries; he did -not attempt to dictate. Usually the seekers of counsel arrive by the noon train, take luncheon at Sagamore Hill and leave the same nfternnnn guests as Oyster Bay designates as big guns come down late in the aft ernon and stay all night. His Attitude Towards Hughes. New York, July 2. Although silent on his arrival here Col. Roosevelt told on the train while coming from Boston how he had been drawn into the di rect primary fight. "I had fully made up my mind not to interfere in any way with legislation pending before the extraordinary ses sion of the legislature," he said, "until I met Governor Hughes. He urged upon me the importance of making some definite statement as to how I stood on the direct primary bill. Re told me that silence on my part might be construed as indicating I was op posed to it." "What have you to say regarding the defeat of the primary bill?" the colonel was asked. "Nothing now," he replied; "it's not m-n- way to talk of such things." "Then you will do nothing?", "I don't like to talk of my p'lans," he repeated Col. Rooseveit explained clearly his attitude toward Governor Hughes. "It's this way about the governor. It had been reported I had directly asked him to resign from the supreme court and run fle-ain for covwnor. Thnt rftnort was manifestly false.-1 could not mak3 -such a request of a man. The case was somewhat the same when Mr. Root left the r-ahinet I hated to see him go. I could advise with him and tell him how I felt but I could hot. tell him what he should do. I believe Governor Hughes to be the ideal candidate for the governorship but I could not -M reflect upon the dignity of the supreme court as to urge him to give it up. Want Him to Lead. Alhnnv. Julv B.--Theodore Roose velt is to be asked to get back in the harness again. His decisive aeieat in both the senate and the assembly by the Republican organization has creat ed a situation which may force him to take an active part in the politics of both the state and the nation. Almost before the gavel had banged the end of the special session of the legisla-. ture the members who shared with him the lost cause oi primary legisla tion were planning to make him lead er of the party in the state, whether he wants to be or not. The personality oi Kooseveii. mueu to shake the set purpose of organiza tion and Roosevelt sustained one of the few defeats of his career. Colonel Roosevelt s aeieai was in no sense a repudiation of his leadership or an indication that his power is on the wane, those who stood with him say. They had a majority oi me Re publican votes in both branches and it was only by a combination with the uemocrais ms (simi.,Uu to win. Assemblyman ween saia ne had already begun preparations to carry the fight into the state conven tion. Governor Hughes, wmie ne win not talk publicly, is known to take a hope ful view of the situation.' Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of the New York county Republican commit tee, to whom Col. Roosevelt sent his telegram indorsing the good diu witn the Griscom amendments had this to say: "The first thing of all which stands out clearly is of national im portance. It is the consolidation ab solutely of three such men as Taft. Roosevelt and Hughes. This situation has brought about such a condition and it would be difficult to imagine a situation more hopeful to the party both in the state and nation. "The prospects of the party next Tall would be seriously affected if the ac tion of the legislature had been theex pression of opinion of the majority. He Will Help Lodge. Boston, July 2. The statement that Col; Roosevelt will return to Massa chusetts in the fall and take part jn the Republican state campaign has been made by Senator Henry Cabbot Lodge. The senator said: "There is no doubt that Col. Roose velt will talk later, and may have something important to say. I xPfS he will speak here in the campaign. Ha is interested in my success and the success St Governor Draper as Col. Rooeeveltr is a wonderful te ter and his influence here is fiure to be helpful in the campaign. Weather Indications.

VALUESARE MORE Real Estate Appraisement Now Is 30,268,465. Extension of City Limits Has Helped the Increase. NORTH SIDE GKOWS. Figures Ten Per Cent More Than Two Years Ago. The Public Service Corporations Hare Grown. An increase of $2,123,870 in the valua tion of real estate in the city of To peka for 1910, over the figure at which it was appraised, two years ago, was announced by County Assessor S. H. Haynes this morning. As yet only the totals of city real estate valuation have been made up, the figure being $30,268,465 against the previous valuation of $28,144,595. For weeks the assessors and the board of equalization have been working over these figures, verifying them and ad Justing complaints alleging excessive valuation in numerous individual cases. That the increase this year is duj partially to the extension of the city limits, partly to the yearly expenditure of a million dollars on new buildings and partially to the fact that in many sections of the city property is valued on the market at a figure considerably over what it ever brought before, is the account given by Assessor Haynes. In the southwest section the Elm hurst addition has been added since the assessment was made in 1908. This locality has largely built up. Through out the residence sections dwellings have been erected on hundreds of lots that were vacant when the assessors summed things up two years ago, and in the business part of town many valuable structures have been raised in the course of two years. There also has been a change in the valuation of North Topeka property. Two years ago the county assessors declared a reduction of 25 per cenc upon all property in the district which had suffered by flood. This cut of valua tion has stood for two years in which time the property has been restored to nearly its former value. This year the figures for the North side read $1,645, 600. about 10 per cent more than those of the 1908 appraisement although yet below the amount which stood in 1906. South side additions are valued at $6,342,640 while the property in To peka, proper, is valued at $22,280,225 Though there is no longer any ques tion that the county commissioners will be able to reduce the tax levy for the coming year, it is impossible to forecast how great the reduction will be because the valuation of real es tate has not been completed nor has an apportionment been made of the appraised value of public service cor porations. The increase in personal property values this year is $2,230,255. This added to the increase in appraised value of real property in the city makes an increase of $4,354,125 in Topeka alone. This sum will be in creased when the apportionment of the value of such property as belongs to public service corporations, inside the city limits, is made. Last year the tax levy was $1.56 on a hundred dol- rS: fcT Property owners in the city. The total valuation of property of public service corporations in Shaw nee county this year is $10,736 981 Free to Asthma Sufferers Home Cure That Anyone Can I se Without Discomfort oss of Time.

Wouldn't Be Published In Square Deal Paper. Morton Albaugh collec'ed $25 this morning from Fred Colo on a wager, and Mr. Cole's faith in the Kansas City Star and Times has been some what shattered. The wager grew out of the inter view recently given out by Secretary of State Denton, in which he reviewed the primary election law, and called at tention to the fact that under a strict interpretation of the law. it is going to be somewhat of a difficult and risky proceeding for Democrats to partici pate in the Republican primaries and then vote for the Democratic nominee for governor at the election. Mr. Cole rather thought that Gov ernor Stubbs had the edge on Mr. Wagstaff because he would receive a very large Democratic vote, and Mr. Albaugh was of the opinion that after the law was pretty generally under stood the Democratic voter would be somewhat reluctant to vote for Mr. Stubbs and take the chances that he would have to take in doing so. It then developed that a consider able number of the "square deal" pa pers had not printed Mr. Denton's in terview, and particularly the Kansas City Star and Times. Mr. Albaugh ob served that the Star and Times prided themselves on being "independent" newspapers, and in fact were so inde pendent that they did not print items of political news unless they were of tne "square dear variety. Mr. Cole carelessly said that he would bet they- would print the in tervlew of Mr. Denton's, because it was in his mind a very important item. Mr. Albaugh was willing to bet $25 on his previous declaration and after Mr. Cole had been assured that Mr. Denton had given the article to the Star's correspondent, he accepted the wager. Mr. Cole became a very ardent read er of the following issues of the two papers, but so far he has been un able to find even in the smallest type the above mentioned interview. The time limit expired this morning, for it was conceded that they would not print the matter after it had already been printed several days previous in the other metropolitan papers." So Mr. Cole, it is said, has 'settled with Mr. Albaugh, and threatens here after to transfer his allegiance to the Topeka Plalndealer. The new Episcopal cathedral ."has now reached proportions that com mence to show its size and style of architecture, and what a beautiful church edifice it is going to be.

FIVE ARE SENTENCED. None of Prisoners Entering Pleas of Guilty Were Kansans. Five young men, not one of them na tives of Kansas were sentenced to the state reformatory at Hutchinson this morning by Judge A. W. Dana or tne district court. In each case indetermi nate sentence was made. "It is hard." said Judge Dana, "to ascertain all the facts in the cases of persons of this kind who belong to the so-called floating population or tne country. The prosecuting attorney has no means Of finding much more about the prisoner than the prisoner is will ing to tell or than may be furnished by those connected with the arrest. "There lately has been an epidemic of larceny from dwelling houses and similar crimes. If we can break up this persistent trouble in any other way the court will begin sending pris oners directly to the penitentiary in stead of the reformatory. These pris oners are young men, with an appear ance of. intelligence, and we are dis posed to give them another opportunity for their white alley." In every case the prisoner had en tered a plea of guilty. All of the cases are of recent origin, some of them be ing not more than a week or so old. All the cases were separate. George Luther Lee. 2 5 years of age, who admitted having deserted from the United States navy, pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary; Stephen Richardson, who was arrested on the complaint of the manager of the Na tional hotel on April 27 for failure to pay his board bill, pleaded guilty; Hardy Thompson, a negro boy, pleaded guilty to stealing a revolver from a house in the east part of town; James Higgins, who was working in the Santa Fe shops at Newton until a few weeks ago, admitted the appropriation of a diamond that he found in a wash room at the Santa Fe hospital; Frank Murphy, who says he is 16 years old, admitted stealing two purses contain ing $13.97 from the Provident asso ciation rooms last week. One prisoner, J. V. Stamey, was sentenced to the state penitentiary at Lansing. Stamey is the Auburndale man who set fire to his home last November in the hope of collecting insurance amounting to $3,000. KANSANS AfO. B. Bristow, 3Iurdock and Madison Call on Col. Roosevelt. Oyster Bay, July 2. Senator J. L. Bristow and Representatives E. H. Madison and Victor Murdock, all of Kansas, and all insurgents, arrived here at noon for a conference with Mr. Rooseevlt. They will return this afternoon. "Senator, will you have anything to say before your conference?" was aiked. "No," said the senator, "but we may have when we get back if the colonel will let us." "Are you gentlemen insurgents?" asked a reporter, anxious to be doubly sure of his facts. The senator grinned. "I suppose we might be mistaken for such," he acquiesced. Mr. Madison was a member of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating com mittee. MONEY IS ALL UP. Last $51,000 of Fight Purse Posted Today. Reno, Nev., July 2.

Lawyer Hopes to Free Religious Fanatics in That Way. Though neither Israel A. J. Dennis nor William Moody, the two patri archs of the Reformed Church of the Messiah want to be defended in that way, in their trial on the charge of having fleeced William Klee, out of $1,200. D. T. Gregg, the-lawyer, who has undertaken their defense says that he probably will enter a plea of insan ity for them. Dennic, who has been the leader in tho church in Topeka, undoubtedly has been a religious crank for years. He was a Mormon at one time, having been converted and baptised into the la going to sell at any Don't miss it. church of the Latter Day faints a quarter of a century ago. His wife, whom he designates as prophetess in the Reformed Church of the Messiah, is a feeble little old woman who is as firmly convinced of her husband's ec clesiastical authority as he represents himself to be. WHAT IS WRONG? Attendance at Teachers' Institutes Is Dwindling Away. Superintendent Fairchild, speaking today about the county institute work this summer, gave it as his opinion that the attendance at these teachers, schools is gradually decreasing. It was less this year than last, and last year the attendance was light. The teach ers are attending summer schools and taking normal work. The same condi tions prevail in other states. But the work of the institutes this summer was high class, the instructors being above the average and the teachers paying serious and earnest attention to their work. The superintendent noted the sig nificant fact that there are fewer male teachers than usual enrolled at the in stitutes. The superintendent and his assistants visited 60 out of 86 institutes in the state. He estimates that 33 to 50 per cent of the enrollment is composed of brand new teachers who have never yet taught a school. In some of the counties there is a shortage of teach ers, while in others there is a surplus. The superintendent, while he is in clined to believe that there will be a shortage of teachers in the state next fall, is not. yet prepared to. make definite announcement of that fact. He hones that the surnliis in nfhor n ties will Hi ship tn talA oan rf v,,. shortage. In Rooks county there is re- purieu a snoriage oi au teacners and 10 will be needed in Graham county.

ChevrioJct Breaks a Record. Indianapolis, July 2. Louis Chevrio let (Buick) broke a record in the ten mile race for cars of 161 to 230 cubic inches displacement. His time was 8:55:40. The former record was 9:03:60. Chevriolet and Barman (Buick) ran away from the field. Pendicott (E. b M.) finished third. The sketch shown is of a coat, of a tussor suit in sand color, the skirt cf which was perfectly plain. The revera of embroidered cambric over black satin are cut to display nearly the en tire front of the dainty shirtwaist be neath. The girdle, after encircling th.s waist. Is passed through the blouse portion of the coat and across the fror.t between the revers. The sleeves a.-. three-quarter length, with cuffs of the satin and embroidered cambric. With this is worn a hat of black satin, trim med with huge sand-color silk Sowers. Dr. "Walsworth, chief physician at the United Doctors Inaitute, said recently: "We are juet en tering the period of the year when in order to stay in perfect health even the most rugged will have to take care of their bodies, meaning by that, that they should not depart radically from nature's laws at any time. During the heated portion of the year disease germs flourish outside the body always, and within the body if it is not well guarded. But it is the man or woman who is not exactly up to the standard of health, perhaps suf fering from some chronic disease, that runs the greatest ri9k, for the reason that nature has pro vided within the human body a certaiu diease resisting force. If the body is well taken care of and not overtaxed in any way there will be little sickness aside from accidental injuries. But the man or woman who is run down, nervous, tired, moody, with probably a poor digestion and circu latiun is the one who falls on the first invasion of the disease germ, whether it be of the Typhoid," Tuberculosis, Cancer or other variety. If jrou feel that you are not up to the standard of health and know not the reason for tie condition, here is one sure way to tell: consult the United Doctors. They will tell you honestly and candidly, without fail, what yqur trouble is and what can be done for you. If you know what your trouble is and have failed to get relief through treatment with ordinary doc tors, don't despair but consult these great specialists The United Doctors. Hundreds have been cured at their institutes after repeated failures elsewhere. The United Doctors have been located at 610 Kansas Avenue, Topeka, for less than one year, yet they can show more voluntary testimony of absolute cures than any medical institute in the West. Think of this Isn't this a remarkable record? Many of the testimonials have been puplished with the patient's permission, and you know no man will allow his name to be published over a testimonial unless he is a truly satisfied and grateful patient. If you want to get well and enjoy life don't delay but call on these specialists at once. They make no charge for examination and their charges for a cure are always reasonable. REPLIES TO MILLER. Attorney General Jackson Finds Fault With Congressman's Record. Burdick, Kan., July 2. Attorney General Jackson, speaking in Miller's home county, has answered the latter's Osage City speech on national issues. About four hundred people assembled to hear the square deal candidate for congress make reply to the assertions of his opponent. Mr. Jackson said in part: "My opponent, Mr. Miller, has reached home and has commenced his defense of his record and the defense consists principally of 'bluster' and pretence. Mr. Miller says he is the only congressman who ever obtained a public building for this district. T'lit is- so because he is the only congress man this district, as now constituted, ever had. Before Mr. Miller we had Mr. Curtis as a representative and Shawnee county was in the district and Topeka, of course, had federal build ings and that is so long ago "there were no other cities of the district large enough to warrant the expendi ture of the public money for buildings under the more careful management of the 'pork barrel' appropriations in those days. "Mr. Miller says he voted for free lumber. If he did. that vote is care fully concealed in the Congressional Record, for it can not be found. On April 9. 1910, Record 61 Cong. P. 1294 and 1295, Mr. Miller voted twice against free lumber, once on an amendment to admit all American lumber free of duty and again to strike all reference to lumber from the tariff bill. The next day, however, some of the standpat congressmen from the west discovered they had left a bad looking record, and' know ing from the vote the day before the standpatters had enough votes without them, arranged for another vote. Mr. Tawney offered some sort of a make shift which may or may not have meant an enlargement of the lumber free list. Miller and some of the west ern standpatters voted for this amend ment. If they had really favored free lumber, they would have voted for the amendments which they had a chance to win. "Mr. Miller says he has not stabbed his party in the back. I do not know how he can strike his party a more serious blow than to help make its platforms and then violate them. He helped make our state platform, which demanded a reformation of the rules of the house of representatives, and then joined the Tammany Democrats to prevent an honest and fair revision of the rules and retain Speaker Can non's power to dominate congress. He has voted since then to allow the speaker to name the Ballinger investi gating committee and halt a dozen times against the spirit of that plat form and the wishes of his district, to say nothing of his votes on the tariff bill, which violated the national Re publican platform and every principle of honest protection to American in dustry. Mr. Miller now says he will not vote for Speaker Cannon again in the party caucus if the sentiment of his district Is opposed to it. Does he mean to repudiate his own record How does he expect to settle what the people want, like he has in the past by consulting his own wishes? When there was a certain way for him to learn the sentiment of his district, at the Osage convention, he smothered a resolution declaring against Cannon ism. Does this promise on Mr. Miller's part mean only another pretense to get another chance to support Mr. Cannon, who has recently announced hia can didacy for speaker?".. SCHOOL LAND REGULATIONS. State Auditor Tells How They May Be Secured. Will Davis, assistant state auditor, has (.issued the following statement in which he gives specific information, in regard to the settlement of school lands: "State school lands,, not to exceed 160 acres, may be settled upon by any person over the age of 21 years, or the head of a family. The settler must reside on the land for a period of six months, making it his only home, and improve the land by erecting a house and such other im provements as show good faith in the set tlement, to the value of not less than $100. At the expiration of the six months' period the settler makes proof of his set tlement and improvements before the pro bate court, and is granted a permit to Durchase the land at the aDDralsed value. "The other plan of procedure Is for fif teen householders or tne townsnip in which the land Is situated, to petition for the appointment of appraisers and sale of the land at public auction, which sale is conducted by the county treasurer after having given four weeks' notice in the official county paper of the sale date.

Beggar Had Money In Shoes. When he was searched before locking up at the city prison this morning $2.90 in small change from pennies to half dol lars was found in the pockets and shoes of Rudolph Muser, whom Police Officer Cass Matthewa arrested for begging In North Topeka. Muser, who is 40 years of age. was quite well dressed and had the appearance of a prosperous mechanic. He gave no reason for his mendicacy when he was arrested, although he tried to give the policeman the slip before he was turn ed over to the patrol wagon. About half of the money was found in the man's shoes which he had selected as a reposi tory for his surplus change. Everybody reads the State Journal. f i If

GRAND FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION hi ?fl &3:- A WOOD PARK All Agree That Tract Is Ideal For Celebration. Those Present Decide Playgrounds Are Worth While. LOVER'S LANE SEEN. Grores of Shade and Many Seats Are Visited. Reasons AYhy Affair TVill Draw Crowds Explained. Secretary George Badders of the Commercial club. Superintendent A. Reinisch of the city parks, and Chair man H. "Ward. Page, of the arrange ment committee for the July 4 picnic at Gage's park, inspected the grounds this morning. This was done in order to ascertain if everything was ready for the "big family basket" celebration planned for Monday. They were accom panied on the trip by a newspaper man. First, the rarty wandered through the chaded portions of the 80 acre tract. There the shrubbery had been trimmed ond the underlying rubbish removed. In the flower 'gardens the bloom was to be soon in profusion pansies and other small llowers. while in the numerou? f.mall lakes water lilies were opening lheir buds. "The water lilies open in the morn ing," Superintendent Reinisch explain ed. "By noon they are at their best. About 2 o'clock the bloom closes, and remains so the :est of the afternoon." Just then Chairman Page directed his attention to the two swans swimming in one t the lakes. "They are the ones removed from Central park in the spring." he explain ed to the newspaper man. Secretary Badders, however, was more interested in having it noted that the park has a profusion of shade suf ficient for the needs of the most requir irg, even on the hottest July day. "There is one of the nicest resting places In the park." he pointed to ail extended grove on the east side. "What more eoula be asked? The people hard ly realize the extent of shade and the ai-commodations offered." "That's true," assented Mr. Page, as the party strolled westward and viewed ether sections of the tract. Soon the well, centrally located, was reached. Here the four refreshed them selves. Mr. Page pointed to the stand to the northward and stated that either the band or the drum corps would be located there. The other he explained would be at the stand to the south. Then the party strolled further to the west, and walked through "Liover's Lane." "Great place for the young people to spoon,' one of them ejaculated. "Guess this haunt won't lack for patronage," came the reply. By this time the new automobile road had been reached. Superintendent Reinisch explained that it just had "been completed, also that Dr. H. H. Keith had been the first to go over it in his machine. To the right of this another grove was inspected. As in the other groves seats had been provided for the large crowds that it is anticipated will be in attendance. All remarked of the accommodations and referred to them as excellent. As the party drove away in an au tomobile all agreed that not a more ideal place for a July 4 picnic could be obtained. It was explained that to make the affair all the more a success transpor tation has been provided, and the visi tors will be transferred from the end of the asylum, Potwin and Lowman Hill car lines In wagons, a fee of Ave cents to be charged. Crap Game Raided. The police have started out to break vp the perennial crap game that runs In the city hay market at Third and Jackson street.

MATTHEWS, Though the audience was not a large one, the folk dance fete at the auditorium was adjudged a success on account of the clever execution of the dances. Those present went away from the hall feeling that a well or ganized playground is worth while. Miss Lulu McKee, in charge of the East side playgrounds, and J. L. Montgomery, physical director of the Central Y. M. C. A. had been instruct ing the youngsters for some time. Dr. C. B. "Van Horn, president of the playground association, prior to the entertainment, traced the history of the playground movement and ap pealed to those present to aid in giv ing the children ample playground ac commodations. According to the speaker, these are a necessity and not a luxury. Thirty kindergarteners captivated the onlookers by dancing the English Looby Loo dance, the Danish dance of greeting, and the Irish jig. The funny smiles and glances that the children gave one another evoked considerable merriment. The Swedish Kull Danzen, the Ger man Klapp dance, and the Swedish washing clothes dance, were given in excellent style by the intermediate children, and the grammar school girls gave the Danish dance of greet ing, the Danish shoemaker's dance, and played a fascinating "I See You" game. Swedish and Bohemian dances were given with precision by a number of high school girls. One of the most clever numbers on the program was a Highland fling danced by a number of the Y. M. C. A. members. A military drill by sixteen, women of drill team No. 1 of the Knights and Ladies of Security, under the direction of E. D. McKirnan was one of the In teresting features of the entertain ment. Piano accompaniments for the dancing were played by Mrs. L. C. Hodge, Miss Dorothy Zanditon, and Miss Josephine McKee. The play ground committee in general charge was composed of Mrs. C. J. Evans, Mrs. A. A. Godard, Mrs. Frank P. MacLennan, Mrs. B. F. Shumate and Superintendent L. D. Whittemore.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY. EVENING, JULY 2, 1910. REEDERJS SURE. llai Nothing In Last Congress For Which to Apologize. Talks of the Issues That Con front Kansas "Voters. REFERS TO PRIMARY. Heralds It as Most Important in Recent Years. Avers Insurgents Are Not Other Than Democrats. Congressman Reeder blew in from the Sixth district today, looking as young and full of fight as he did ten years ago. He is feeling fine about the last session of congress and has nothing for which to apologize this year. He is sure that he will win the nomination again. "Men call it luck," Reeder said, "but they do not stop to think of all the hard work that must accompany that luck if a man is to get anywhere in this world." Speaking of the issues that confront the Kansas voters and the causes that go to make these issues Mr. Reeder said: "The people of Kansas are close to the most important election that has occurred In recent years; I refer to the approaching primary election on August 2nd. At this time the Repub licans of Kansas will cast their votes in favor of sustaining President Taft, l.y nominating Republicans for office and making a fight this fall to defeat the remocrats, and retain our pres ent splendid agricultural and commer cial conditions, or on the other hand, they will at this primary election abandon the president and the poli cies for which he stands and turn the country over to Democratic rule, by nominating a ticket composed of the so-called 'square deal' or 'progressive' Republicans.' Insurgents Not Republicans. "There might have been some doubt in the minds of the average cit izen as to what the progressive or in surgent Republican leaders stood for In the last election: there is no room for doubt longer; the record of their senators and members of congress on all national questions of the greatest importance to the welfare of the peo ple, show that they are absolutely In opposition to the president and the Republican party in all votes taken. The time has come for the people of Kansas and the- American people to know that the insurgent is not a Re publican, but merely retains the name to hold for himself a vantage ground, from which to strike down the great policies and principles of the party, in which and for which he has no longer any sympathy. In plain words, the progressive Republican insurgent leader thinks as a Democrat, believes as a Democrat, and he is a Democrat, and the people of this country should no longer be deceived or misled by him, if they sincerely desire to up hold the hands of President Taft, and Republican policies. "I am awsn" that this p plain talk, and that it will osuse a howl of com plaint to go up from thwo men, who have violated and outraged every rule of decency and political fairness, that I am reading them out off ;the Republi can party. I answer that these men. composing only a small fragment of the loaders of the Republican party, and who. because they can not rule, would ruin the party, can not be read out of the party; as a result of their own political perfidy, they are now outside of the lines of the Republican organization. How can a man be a Republican and consort continually with our common enemy, the Demo crats? How can the progressive Re publican leaders satisfactorily explain their Republicanism when they de nounce the leader of the Republican party. President Taft, and oppose tooth and nail the very legislation that he desires and which was pledged to the people in the party platform? It may be that men like Dolltver and LaFol K'tte. and lesser lights of their ilk. who fight the Republican administration and 90 per cent of the present Repub lican congress, constitute what would be considered good Republicans, but I refuse to believe that the people of this country will accept them as such; this is one of the questions that will be decided at the coming primary in August. No one is going to read these gentlemen out of the party," but the fact that they are so continually called upon to explain to the people as to their Democratic proclivities, shows only too plainly to the thinking man that they are already out Too rate to Campaign. "I shall get home too late to make much of a campaign against my pro gressive opponents. Public interests and the legislative program desired by the president, compelled me to stay in Washington in order to prevent the Democrats and progressive Republicans from defeating the legislation that the country had commissioned the Repub lican party to enact. Kansas is on the high divides of her greatest prosperity. Since McKinley was inaugurated presi dent of this great country, and banish ed three millions of idle men and the soup houses from the land, and ushered in a prosperity, the like of which the world up to that date had never seen, our country has continued to expand", and add yearly to Its enormous wealth. The present Republican delegation in congress from Kansas, have witnessed their great state rise from poverty to riches so great, that she now stands second in per capita wealth of the great states of the Union; our farms have increased from three hundred to tn hundred per cent in value, our hanks are full of farmers' money, and the farmers' feed lots are turning out meat products, at a price that may well tttartle the world; surely the farmer has his 'innings' now; will he in the free of present conditions, give aid and v comfort to this misbranded order of Republicans who are now 'rocking tha Republican boat and attempting to re Stearns' Electric Rat cud Roash Past tha guaranteed Exterminator for rat3, mice, cockroaches, waterbugs, etc., etc 2 ox. box 25c 1 6 oi. box 1.00. Money back If it fails. LOOK for this SIGNATURE on every box store the Populist yard stick, that measured the prices of all the farmers' commodities, when a similar collection of demagogues, had control of Kansas some years since? "I believe that the people of Kansas, while they axe like all Americana, fond or sensations, are in the last analysis a thinking people, and that they are by a large majority In favor or tne great policy of protection. The farmer knows that the reason that he again came into his own and received the high dollar under the administration of McKinley, was because the Dingley tariff law opened the thousands of great factories of the country and put the Idle men at work at a protected wage, and that these men thereby were able to again set the American break fast table, loaded with tne proaucis 01 the farm. "The farmer, when making up his mind how to vote, must not forget that the dining table of the well paid working man is his great market. As the Dingley law brought under Presi dent McKinley our great prosperity, so will it continue under the Payne tariff law, if the people will stand by it and not allow the business interests of the country to be torn to pieces by the progressive Republican leaders who no longer believe in the great policy of protection, but would turn the country over again to free trade and Democratic rule. "Whether the people of Kansas de feat the present Republican delega tion in congress from their state for renomination, matters little to the men who compose it; their personal defeat would affect but a small circle of their immediate friends, but to de feat what these men stand for, and withdraw their support from Presi dent Taft, would be a national calam ity. In the coming primary campaign, I write no platform, neither do I make my campaign by defaming and at tempting to discredit my own political party. "I am one of those good old fash ioned Republicans, that believe that Kansas 1b a Republican state, and that she believes in President Taft and the great policy of protection, under which she has grown rich, during the past decade. I do not believe, when I review the glorious record of its achievement of the past ten years, that the Republican party owes Kan sas or any other state of this great union, any apology for what it has done. I am willing to stand or fall, go up or down, standing by our great president, and the record of the party.". MAN WHO SHOT MARTIN He Tnrns Out to Be a Son of Col. Henry Watterson. New York, July 2. Conflicting re ports as to the identity of the man who yesterday at Saugerties. N. Y.. while apparently demented, shot and slightly wounded Michael Martin, a saloon proprietor, were cleared up to day when it was learned that Martin s assailant was Ewing Watterson, eldest son of Colonel Henry Watterson of Louisville, Ky. Watterson i3 under ar rest at Saugerties. Colonel Watterson,- who is in this city, was apprised of his son's out break and plans to go to Saugerties late toda.v or tomorrow to look after the young man's interests. From him the circumstances of the case were learned. Ewing Watterson, his father says, has for some years been the victim of a form of religious mania which has failed to yield to any treatment. In the effort to better his son's condition, Colonel Watterson placed him for some time on a ranch in the west and when this environment failed to result in improvement, bought him a farm in the Hudson river hills near Sauger ties, where it was hoped the air and quiet surroundings would benefit him. Ewing Watterson, according to tne reports from Saugerties, entered Mar tin's place of business yesterday and created a disturbance. After some words with the proprietor, Watterson opened fire, shooting Martin three times. None of the bullets inflicted serious injury. Watterson was locked up and word was sent to his father in this city. From what could be learned of Col onel Watterson's plans, it is expected that application will be made to have the son placed in a sanitarium or asy lum. His mania had never before manifested" itself in aviolent form. Another sob of Colonel Watterson, Harvey Watterson, was killed in this city in November, 1908, by falling from the nineteenth flpor .of a Wall street office building. BOOM FOR MRS. YOUNG.

Makes Comparison in Plea for Sane Fourth. W. I A. Johnson, state commis sioner of labor, has issued an interest ing statement in regard to the neces sity for legislation in the interest of a sane Fourth of July. He has set forth some startling statistics in which he shows that the last seven Fourths have killed and wounded thirty times more people than were killed and wounded In seven battles of the Revolution. Mr. Johnson, in his statement, says: "To-the Editor: The present day custom of Fourth of July celebration by the ise of fireworks and dangerous explosives, results every yeai v in an alarming and ever increasing number of casualties. Last year the newspa pers of the United States reported 5,307 serious accidents. The real hor ror of what this 'Day of Blood' has become can be more clearly illustrated and impressed upon the mind by the following table which lists the casual ties which have occurred on Independ ence day for the past seven years, and compares them side by side with the casualties of the seven most noted bat tles of the American Revolution. No greater oblect lesson could be given to the thinking public, and it was not until thev had been compiled by the Journal of the American Medical as sociation, at Chicago, that we could realize the awful price we are paying for the present method of celebrating our national holiday.

"W. L. A. JOHNSON, "Commissioner of Labor and State Fac tory Inspector." NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. Railroads Will Not Be Put Out of Business Just Yet. Beverly, July 2. President Taft has had a long talk with Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commis sion regarding" the administration of the new railroad law. At the conclu sion of the interview, it was made plain that the added authority given the commission by the new statute is not to be used arbitrarily for the pur pose of hindering the railroads- in the conduct of their legitimate business. The power to suspend new rates, prob ably the most direct weapon placed in the hands of the commission, is to be used only in exceptional cases.. Chairman Knapp told the president the commission had already refused an application under the new law to suspend the increased rates on horse vehicles and automobiles. He said there was nothing on the face of things to show that the new rates were un just or unreasonable. The Interstate commerce commis sion will not attempt to fix definite rates for the railroads and the power of suspension will be applied only to rates when a preliminary hearing gives indication that they are exces sive. From time to time since the new law went into effect there have been indications that some of the big rail roads have been considerably worried as to the extent and the manner in which the rate regulating clauses of the new law would be employed by the commission. Stock manipulators in Wall street, the administration has been informed, were trying to trade upon this doubt and to make the most of the situation to their own advant age. It can be authoritatively stated that it was never intended the new law should be a club or that it should be the means of profit taking by "bears" in the market. The commis sion will not "run amuck" and will do nothing to jeopardize the interests of investors. There has been talk of a fright among European investors and the embarrassing results that might come from throwing over stocks at crop moving time. The president sees nothing In the situation to warrant any such views. It is felt that it would be a great impediment to the railways to have every new rate suspended and put through the eleven months period of determination as to its reasonaDleness. Chairman Knapp discussed this fea ture of the law at some length with the president and cited the refusal of the commission to suspend the auto mobile and vehicle rates as an indica tion that the power of suspension is not to be used indiscriminately. 1 Further information regarding the G w. sorgo George W.

The most notable success in this line was the reduction of Kansas grain rates to the Oulf of Mexico, and this reduction added exactly TWO and ONE-HALF CENTS to the market value in the farmers pocket of eVery bushel of Kan sas grain. For his many activities in behalf of the public, George W. Kanavel holds the record among all Kansas officers in the number of times he has been restrained by federal injunction. Under Chairman KanaveVs administration live stock rates have been reduced; coal rates have been repeatedly reduced: express rates on cream and on fruits have been reduced: and a general reduction on almost all ex press rates has been ordered, and these reductions will shortly be in effect. The rate on repairs for farm machinery is reduced from 40 to 60 per cent. Chairman Kanavel caused the preparation and in a large measure was the author of the Maximum Freight Rate Schedule. of 1909, which the Gov ernor declares results in a great saving to the Kansas people. Under Chairman KanaveVs administration several hundred miles of railway lines have been and are how being improved: depots- have been established: agent installed; switches constructed; train service improved, and these improvements are still going oh every day. Chairman Kanavel and his associates were instrumental in compelling the Missouri Pacific Railway to consolidate its Kansas line and re-organize its system and to borrow S29.000.000 for improvements, and to compel it to provide the following sums for the rebuilding of Its Kansas lines: One million dollars in 1909: four million in 1910: four million in 1911, and Chair man Kanavel has given standing instructions to the Attorney for the Board to see that that financial and constructive program is carried out.

BY HARVEY COUNTY FRIENDS OF GEORGE W. KANAVEL. T. B. BROWN For State Printer On the Republican Ticket Aug. 2, 1910 To My Friends and Republican Voters: THE SITUATION. Kansas now owns and operates a large book-printing and binding plant for its exclusive use, and employes a State Printer to superin tend and manage the plant at lowest cost consistent with good service. The legislature determines .what shall be printed in the State plant. It is strictly a business office involving the 'care and administration of a valuable plant and the handling of large appropria tions for labor and material. I am a candidate -for the office of State Print er on the Republican primary ticket. MY QUALIFICATIONS. I have fol lowed book and commercial printing for forty years, never had any other vocation, and know the printing busi ness from cellar to roof. Have worked for several State Printers, understand the duties and responsibilities of tha office, and am conversant with Kansas public printing. With this experience and practical business training, and the endorsement of many good citizens, printers, and public men, I offer my services to the State and respectfully solicit your votes. I have lived In Kansas since 1869, first in JTranklin County, now a resident of Topeka. I am a Republican and al ways have been. If elected I will give the office my undivided time and per sonal attention, improve the service wherever possible, and give you an honest, economical administration. T. B.

MUST BUY OWN CLOTHES Uncle Sam Refuses to Provide for Secretary Knox's Coachman. Washington, July 2. A four dollar pair of driving gloves for the coachman of the secretary of state has run the gamut of official scrutiny and finally been decreed not a proper expense for Uncle Sam to defray. This means that hereafter the man that handles the rib- ICanave of Harvey county, the present chair man of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners, is a candidate for re nomination at the hands of the Re publican voters at the primary. There .are three commissioners to nominate, and, certainly If faithful, efficient ser vice is to count, Mr. Kanavel should be one of. the nominees. There are too many reasons for the retention of the services of George W. Kanavel by the state to recount them all, but it may help to settle this mat ter for the average voter to consider the following: Under KanaveVs administration the. Railroad Board reduced the passenger fare from THREE CENTS a mile to TWO CENTS a mile; and Chairman Kanavei and those who worked with him and under hin direction have been more successful in maintaining their reduced rate than have the state officers of our neighboring states of Missouri and Oklahoma. During Chairman KanaveVs term in office the Board has directed the bringing of suit after suit before the Interstate. Commerce commission to FARMER FOR RAIL ROAD COMMISSIONER Neighbors Say He Is the Man for a Place on the Board. R. B. Ward of Belleville is a candi date for railroad commissioner on th i-tv.vL. rif? is one or tne active members of the State Agricul tural society, is one of the lartre farm ers and stock raisers of northern Kan sas.; There are few men in Tfansaa who have shipped as much stock to market as he. He knows the needs of the farmer and stockman, knows how to go about it to get relief, when it is needed. Has courage to do his duty. Has made good as sheriff of his coun ty and senator from his district. He wants your support and will make good as railroad commissioner if elect ed. All the fair and agricultural so cieties of north central Kansas have given him hearty endorsements. His neighbors are unanimous and enthusi asitc in his support. The chief interest of Kansas is agriculture and live stock. Why should it not be represented on the board which controls the shipping of those commodities. Vote for Ward and you will have a man who will always go to the bottom of things and will demand justice and will fight for what he thinks is right. See that "Ward" is one of the names against which you make yourX and you will make no mistake. bons on Secretary Knox's thorough breds or sits on the box alongside the driver must buy his own clothes, get the secretary of state to pay for them out of his own pocket or go without.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBHAIr SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1910. Tfie latest Life In Old Pictures. The International Sunday School Lea Bon for July 3 is "Pictures of the Kingdom," Mott. 13: 31-33, 44-12. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. P FIRST things were Kepi first, and relative values were trulv observed, the no torious prize fsh.t would get only brief notice on the back TOicre rf the newspaipcrs, and the World's Missionary conference at Edinburg would have a first, page dis play head; the billboards with their Inversions of art would disappear, and the old masters would be kept on pub lic, display. When any man gets to thinklngbe he rake, infidel or mater ialist 'ie Is sure to come to a con templation of the great themes of re ligion: for every nation's creed rep-K-eerots the highest thought of its best minds. Humanity simply cannot es cape thought.! of religion. And if we fairly observed relative values we would put Into first place all that concerns religion. Like all the lesser philosophers, Jesus taught ethics, morals and relig ion. He was different from others in that h9 had a revealed religion to pre sent; and he also knew-how to express his message In. pictorial words that live forever. His talntings, in parabolic form, of the verities o the soul's quest after "God are masterpieces of litera ture Like some of the old paintings, they seem as fresh and true today as If painted yesterday. They speak as truly to this time as to the generation In wmich they were uttered. "Without a parable spoke he nothing unio them, runs the record: and these pictures are like the old portraits which follow the observer with their eyes all over the norn. The figures from firs Masters brush look straight at one;, like Nath an, they seem to say, "Thou art the man." When the Little Becomes Great. The five of the picture stories which remain to be told from this chapter of Matthew all concern the kingdom of lieaven. That was the passion of Jesus. He wan surprisingly indifferent to ec cleslasticism and to churdhly proce dure, and to miscalled "wordly wis dom." But he was afire with r.eal for the kingdom. Then, as now. the ec clesiastical party identified the tern fporal church machinery with the spir itual kingdom. We clutter up Ocd s work with a lot of clacking, clattering, outworn and antiquated machinery that belongs In the Junk-heap; all, for Booth. because :t once was useful to the kingdom. So we retain useless arid competing forms and offices, and unfit oTudals. all because we have not the Ohnetian courage and vision to sweep out of tJve way tlieK impediments to the kingdom's real progress. There In a. host of good people Who are more solicitous for some board a wood en, dead and immobile thing than they are for the kingdom in its vast ness. We need to shift our emphasis to where Christ puts' It, and that was on the kirgdom of heaven. He saw that the biggest thing in the universe bigger than any Halley's comet or orderly planet is the king dom of heaven, if men were not so blind everybody would see this also. Even though itslocal- Ijeglnnings, so to speak, be as hialgnifi.ca.nt as a mus tard tree, its future jte inevitably great. It takes a person of vision to see the potentiality of a seed. tf'oy. an Idea. Anybody can understand' that there Is might and meaning to -uch a monster demonstration as the World's Sunday School Convention in Washington six weeks ago. Apparently only Jesus caught the meaning of the little cluster of men who followed him but whom h ncnrirt waa one day to follow. The Syrian mustard seed has become a great tree for the sheltering and feed- j lng of nations. Recently, at a large neighborhood dinner party, impromptu speeches were called for. One man arp&e and told of his own recent contact with the peace movement; another talked of world brotherhood and the Orient's ferment; a-third spoke of the sweep and meaning of the. Sunday, school. All the men present felt as it they had added an inch to their manhood by being lifted above the effervescence and banalities of the ordinary after dinner talks. The consciousness of having had their eyes opened to the deeper realities of their- time sweet ened the flavor of the real wit and humor and good fellowship that abounded about the board.- A social occasion la well utilized when.it he'.ps people to discern the "signs Of the times." The Stuttering Parrot. Contact creates conformity'; The law of touch. Jesus said, by the story of the.' leaven, governs the growth of his kingdom. God-men in the, world bring about a God-world. ;:The king dom comes as its subjects conform iio.tr their likeness. Sometimes we hear absurd drivel about lives bor ing little an,d commonplace because, Indeed, they are not lived in the lime light of public attention. r As If God had-anv better agencies for extending his sovereignty than his subjects who live loyally close to other men. The oloser Christianity gets-t6, the world the Quicker .the world will become Christian A stuttering, man bought a parrot. guaranteed to be a good talker. He kept it for a few weeks and then he brought It back to tne dealer, "i-d-d-don't want the b-b-bird. It st--t- tutters!" Contiguity creates conform ity. Nearness begets likeness. Saintly persons favor a neighborhood with saintliness. God-afire men set the world ablaze. It is the leaven in the lump in the lump, mind you, not up on some shelf or hidden in a closet that leavens the whole. The hope of the world is the church in its midst The pervasive doctrine of Jesus per meating all of society; Is the one hope of society's transformation. The reader of the news finds his nerves atingle as he contemplates what the gospel leaven has lately been do ing in the world. For a millennium past the land where Jesus told these stories has been In the grip of intol erant Islam. Now the leaven has spread and swollen, overturning the tyrannous throne of the Sultan, and giving religious liberty to all people on this holy soil. So the Chosen Pea Die are flocking back to Palestine. The same leaven is cracking the tomb of dead Egypt, and bringing new life to light. It is cnangmg "the changeless East" beyond man's believing. Trans formations such as the sun has never before beheld are being effected all over the earth because this leaven of the gospel has been hidden in the mass cf humanity. The Doctor's Ethics. The ethics of the medical profession require a physician to give to all the world, without money or price, the benefit of any new discovery ha may make In medicine. ThoFe are also the ethics- of Jesus, The best belongs to everybody. And the exceeding treasure of life is religion. For that all the world seeks. Consider the multitude of 1 ilgrlm now er. route to Mecca and Benares and Llassha and Ise, and the lesser shrines of the world's religions. These one and all represent. the. pur suit of spirit-satisfaction. Tney stand for the world's agreement fvith the proposition pf Jesus that the pearl of great price, and tht treasure., best wcrth seeking, is. peace and eternal life.'- The two pictures-'-that of the man who found a treasure hid In a field (for even these J old-fashioned banks often- fail the original depositors) and sold all' thaf ire had ami bought'tho field; and the merchantman, seeking goodly pearls, who bought one pearl of great price by the sale of all his pos sessions have one meaning; the su preme desirability of. the kingdom of heaveni The i unsearchable riches of Christ should bo a recurring theme in the teaching of this great lesson. All second-rate pursuits should be aban doned for the sake of the one thing needful, which ia life, eternal and su pernal. s Many Pish, One Net. The irson who wants to be exclu sive is finding- this an 'increasingly dif ficult world in which to live. Snob bish Americans move to Europe, where social lines still retain somewhat of their- old -rigidity. The. lament- is fre quent that summer resorts quickly- lose their exclusive tone. -The truth is, the great tides of democracy, which ljegan to rise in Galilee's: blue waters 19 cen turies ago, are beating and booming against the foundations of all unbroth crly aristocracies. The ultimate form of human government Is a democracy. All kinds and conditions of people are being drawn closer together all on a higher level. Jesus pictures the kingdom of heaven itself as a net, gathering up all kind of fish. Of course, there is an ulti mate separation of the good from the bad. At the moment, it Is fair to dwell upon the comprehensiveness of the church. It has room for all classes. There Is a fundamental defect in the method of founding a workingmen's mission on the East Side, and an em ployers' church on Fifth avenue. For the sake of the church, for the Bake of the world, for the sake of the na tion, for the sake of the gentle brother of all men, who meets everybody on a level of love, this state of things must be supplanted by the Christian frater-r-ity, which knows no division except that portrayed in the parables of the tares and the net the separation of the good from the bad. God does not divide men according to any of the world's stupid classifica tions. Dr. Talmage once said that while society divides men by many horizontal lines into upper claasosi middle classes, lower classes, etc. Jesus divides them only by one per pendicular line the sheep from the goats; the just from the unjust. This is the only dividing line between men that is of permanent importance. The Test of Patriotism. Terse Comments for July 8, "What Is Christian Citizenship?" Ps. 124; 1-3; Rev. 21 1-3. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Peace tests patriotism more than war. It Is easier to fight with a musket for a visible flag than to fight with convictions, influence, vice, pen and ballot for those ideals which the flag represents. The patriots of peace, who make and uphold law, who mould pub lic sentiment sanely, who attack open corruption and subtle, insidious alien tendencies these are the ones who make a country worth fighting for when the call to arms comes ringing through the land. Patriotism never thrives In the soil of selfishness. Patriotism is a holy passion. It is divinely Implanted, and is bound up with two other great human passions, love of God and love of home and fam ily. The deepest sentiments of the heart are evoked by the claims of the country, and It Is fitting that the na tion's welfare should have a place In every Christian's prayers. The sub ject is a proper one to Introduce into the most sacred of occasions. Whatever Is true service of country is also service of God. The grace of standing is one of the eminent virtues. The person who, throughout all his life, in stormy weather and f-.ir, in good report and ill, simply stands outspokenly for what soever things are true, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are honest, is thereby serving his country with a directness, an immediateness, and an effectiveness that can scarcely be surpassed by any other form of ser vice. A noble life is loftiest patriot ism. The hope of the state is the char acter of its citizens. There cannot be a good nation made up of bad men, r.or a great nation whose people are small, selfish and sordid. Just to be guod is to be patriotic. A purj life Is an acceptable offering on tho altar of patriotism. Whoever dedicates his life to ends of human service is most effectively consecrating himself to his country, "Dream not of noble service elsewhere wrought; The simple duiy that awaits thy hand Is God's voice uttering a divine com mand; Life's common deeds build all that saints have thought!" One of the "white man's burdens" Is the betterment -of the whole world. A Christian greeting to the bewilder ed, lonely and sensitive immigrant is a testimony to religion Indelibly grav en on nis neari. Patriotism joins with religion in constraining the churches to care for the incoming aliens. The very genius of the nation is Imperiled by this in vading army of foreigners, except they be led Into an acceptance of the Chris tian ideals of this Western world. In the enjoyment of liberty's prizes men are tempted to shrink liberty's pain. For the great rights which this Western world possesses under the law may be maintained only at the cost of watchfulness and service. The peril of self-government is the Indifference of the majority to the obligations of citizenship. Men who would be among the first to leap to the defense of the land against foreign invasion view the usurpation of their rights by profes sional politicians and by unscrupulous with Incredible v equa- No party can count on the vote of the best citizen. Love ot libeirtyand loyalty tJ God will keep any nation -safe. Love of countryls born of God. Christians have always-been patriots. Jesus loved his nation well enough to die. for it. We are only fulfilling the law" of the Lord when, we-glve to our own country the deep. Intelligent, and unswerving devotion of our hearts. We could not be.' traitors to our na tioiffs highest Interests without also being traitors to God. NEWS .AND NOTES.

THE PEOPLE'S PULPIT X 14 i Sermon by Three Men and Two charles 7. Women Whom RUSSELL, Pastor Brooklym HICAGO, June 26. Pastor Russell, of Brooklyn, N.. Y., preached here twice today In Orchestra hall. As usual he had a large and attentive-audience. We quote one of his discourses In part as fqllows: All men who have any knowledge of Jesus esteem him Christians, Gentiles and Jews. All men, whatever their religious convictions, are ready to ad mit the passing personality of the great Nazarene and his wonderful words of life. It is as respects his Messiahship that they differ. How ever, we submit that if he were -not the special servant of Jehovah, the Son of God, as he claimed, sent into the world on a special- mission, then he must of necessity have been either a deceived man or a wicked impostor. His wonderful personality and woras of justice and wisdom and love con tradict the tnougnt tnai ne wao euner Ignorant or a deceiver. Hence, me only tenable ground is that he was a deceived man or else inai ne was in deed the Son of God who acted and spoke and performed .miracles under Divine direction ana power, we noiu that the evidences or nis teacning overwhelmingly corroborate tne trutn of his claims. But here we make a rtlatinp.tlon between the claims which our Lord Jesus made for himself and other claims which nave oeen maae for him without his sanction and with out apostolic or other inspired cor roboration. Let it not be supposed that we are forgetting the length and breadth of Jesus' love lor an numamu uiu pecial love for all or nis aiscipieB, yea, for all wno lovea ngniBuuau and sought, as ne aia, w uo ma iiu- er'B will. In keeping witn mis was his prayers for his disciples on the nle-ht before his crucifixion, in connec tion with which we read. "Jesus hav ing loved his own, lovea tnem unto the end" (John xiii, 1). And again his ttatommt "flreater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (Jonn xv, iaj. ahu again his statement, "Who is my moth er and who are my oremren aiiu he stretched forth his hand to his dis ciples and said. Behold my mother, and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in Heaven, the same is my brother, ana sister, and mother" (Matthew xiii. ie-Kn ThM expressions give us a glimpse of the length and breadth of the love of Jesus. But for the present occasion let us consider these persons whom Jesus is said to nave especial lv Invert. 'Jesus Belioiaing mm uovru nuii. The rich young nooieman wno came to the Lord said.

Only those temptations which we encounter in the path of duty our Lord promised we should conquer Phillips Brooks. Jesus Loved Text, "Lord, He Whom Thou Lovest Is Sick." went his way. Jesus merely answered the question but did not urge the young man to thus present himself a living sacrifice to God and his ser vice. Indeed in no case did Jesus ever do more than invite never did he urge. On the contrary he advised, Sit down first and count the cost of dis clpleship. What could we surmise respecting the eternal destiny of this young man who had been striving. so earnestly to keep the Law and to gain eternal life, and who turned from Jesus and de clined to take up the cross and follow him? Could we suppose that Divine Justice would send,such a man to eter nal torment under these conditions? If there were such a penalty over him could we suppose that Jesus would have allowed him to go without urging him strenuously, without at least warn ing him, that by his course he was making the choice of eternal torment? Can we suppose that our Master knew that all the people whom he address ed and who failed to accept his mes sage would be consequently consigned to eternal- torture, and that he let them go without urging the matter upon them? We cbuld not so think! Thank God we are gradually getting free from the bondage of error fasten ed upon us by those who mistranslated certain words In our Bible. We get the proper view when we remember that Jesus' message at that time was "The Gospel of the King dom." He was merely Inviting who ever might have the ear to hear and the heart to appreciate the privilege to become associated with himself in the glorious Kingdom for which he told his disciples to pray, "my js-ingaom come; thy will be done on earth as it Is done in neaven." wnat tne ricn young man lost was the special privi lege or becoming a join neir wim Christ In that Kingdom which. In due tl ne. will be established and whose mission will be the blessing of Israel and the world. It will bring to them imes of restitution of all things which God hath Spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began." (Acts ill, 19-21.) "He Whom Tnou Lovest 19 Sick." Our text stands related to a very wonderful chapter in our Lord's min istry. Jesus with his disciples was about three days' journey from Beth any, the home of Lazarus, Martna ana Mary. But tney Knew nis wnere- abouts, for he was a special, iriena and their home was his home when ever he was near Jerusalem. Lazarus took seriously 111. But the two sisters, Martha and Mary. feared nothing. since -they had such, great confidence in Jesus, even to belier m nis aDiniy to-awaken sleeoers from death. They thought it proper to send the Master word resDectine Lazarus, but not proper to dictate to him what should be done in the case. Rather they left to himself to decide whether he should enealr the word and rebuke tne aisease or whether he should come to Beth- nmr and take the sick by the hand ana say, arise. The simple message they sent was, "Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick." The beautiful, childlike, sim- n! faith which they exhibited must have been very precious in the Mas ter's sight. Nevertheless Jesus said nothing, and did nothing in the mat ter for three days. Then ne saia to his disciples, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth." They did not grasp his meaning until he said to them plain ly, Lazarus is dead; and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there. I am glad because it wtll give me an op fortunity to demonstrate to you and through you to all who shall be my disciples In the future the great power of God that Is vested in me In respect to the resurrection of the dead. All Bible students surely have no ticed how frequently In the Scriptures the word "sleep" Is used as a poetical synonym for death. "Abraham slept with his fathers." "David slept with his fathers." Prophets, priests and -kings are said to have slept with their fathers, whether good or bad. LIk-3-wlse the New-Testament uses the same figure of speech. We read that St. Stephen the Martyr, stoned to death, "fell asleep." St. Paul speaks of the church as falling asleep In death and refers to all of our friends, good and bad, who go down into death, a being "asleeo In Jesus." He tells us' that we need not sorrow for4hem as others who know not the resurrection hope.. All who fall asleep in death because of 1 Adams transgression ana its aeain I sentence have in Jesus a Divinely ap pointed Redeemer who' In God's due time is to awaken all the sleeping hosts of Adam's race. "All that are In their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth." They that have done good (who have secured Di vine approval as worthy of eternal life) shall come forth unto the resurrection of life full perfection; and they that have done evil that have not secured the Divine approval as being worthy of eternal life shall came forth In the resurrection for judgment (John v, 2S, 29) for trial, for discipline, for correc tion in righteousness during Messiah's reign of 1,000 years. Coming forth in that judgment time or trial time, all the willing and obe dient will eventually be lifted out of sin and death,' while those disobedient to the light and opportunity will be again consigned to death Second Death, everlasting extinction (John jr, 28, 29, R. V.). We have read our Bibles too care lessly in the past and have given too much heed to those who, with less op portunities than ourselves, grossly mis interpreted its teachings. What did we think respecting this--word "sleep" anyway? J Did we suppose that both the eood and the bad "sleep" in heav en? We were told" that the bad would go o a place too warm for- sleep. But our own brains and our own Bibles we never "thought of using In' connection-with the subject.. Now, when we hearken to the Word of God, now plain, how simple, how reasonable, are Its teachings! The dead are dead and not alive. However, in view of God's plan that there shall be a -resurrection of the dead "ln due time" he speaks of the dead not. as extinct like the brute, but merely asleep. They are waiting for the morning the glorious- morning of Messiah's Kingdom, when 'the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with heal ing in Its beams," when Satan shall be bound for a thousand years and deceive the peoples no more Instead of the reign of Sin and Death the reign of Righteousness and le-ewlarfM shall begin. How beautifully the Scriptures answer the question of where the dead sleep. "Many .of them that "sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake" (Daniel 'sell, 2). "Lazarasj Come Forth."; Jesus and his disciples turned their steps toward Bethany. Poor Martha and Mary meantime were Borely dis appointed. Not for a moment did they suppose that their- mighty Friend would allow this trouble to .come upon them that he would neglect to come or to use his power to save Lazarus from dying. So grief-stricken and so heart-broken were they that Mar tha only came to meet the Master, and her first words were those of Bentle reproach reminding him of their dis appointment in him: "Lord, if thou hadst been Jiere (if thou hadst come when we sent thee word) our broth er had not died." What message of comfort did Jesus express, Did he say, Martha, Lazarus is far better off In heaven. He is with the angels! He la singing and very happy! Surely you would not bring him back to earth agaiir! Were these the words of Jesus? No. He merely said "Thy brother shall rise again. He thus implied that her brother was not alive but really dead. How could he rise again if he had not ceased to live? Martha's reply Indicates that she understood what were the teachings of Jesus and of the prophets. She said, "I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. But Jesus wished to draw her atten tion to the present and to have her ask him even at this time to call Laz arus back from the sleep of death. So he said, "I am the resurrection and the life." You, Martha, recognize me as the Messiah, the Son of God. You believe that eventually when the res urrection does take place, God's rea urrection pdwerv- will, be exercised through me. And now. I am here with you. Why do you not ask me to exercise some of this power in aa- vance? Where have you laia mm.' Martha -finally caught the thought, but replied. No, no, Lord, it is too late now. By this time he stinketh, for he has been dead four days. If you had come when I sent you -word, or even had gotten here within a day or so, there would have been some hope, but now It has gone too far for that; for decomposition has set in. No miracle could possibly reorganize broken-down tissues. But Jesus in sisted that they should show him the placeJ When he came to the tomb, what did the' Master do? Did he com mand Lazarus to lay aside: his crown and harp in heaven and bid the an gels goodby and come back to earth life? No! Did he call for him to come up from purgatory,' the location of which nobody- knows? No! What did he say? Addressing the tomb, he said, "Lazarus, come forth!" And what oc curred? The dead one came forth. He was not alive at all! He was dead! The Beloved Family. We read again, "Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister, and Lazarus." Some have thought that they discerned Lazarus amongst later disciples of Christ posibly Barnabas. But any way he was one whom Jesus loved, even though he was not one of the apostles who followed with the Lord. And Martha has come down to us as a synonym of bustling, energetic hos pitality, "busied about many things.' Yet surely she was loving and loyal to the Master. Jesus loved Martha and we mav be sure therefore that he loves all of similar character. But he loved Mary also. And we do not for get that when she gave up some of her housework that she might sit at the feet of Jesus and learn- of him the Master declared that she had "chosen the better part." This was the same Mary who anointed the Master with the precious spikenard ointment five days before his burial. Martha and -Marc- hnth loved and were loved of the Trrt. vet. evidently. Marv's love and the form it took was especially approve ed of the Master. Finally we come to" John the loving disciple of whom it Is said that he was "that disciple whom Jesus loved. What a glorious testimony was John's! We remember that he and his brother loved the Lord so dearly that they de sired that In his Kingdom In the future they might be next to him. one on his right hand, the other on his left hand. We remember that the Master answer ed that only by oTir.King oi nis cui ui shame and ignominy, and by being baptized into the sacrificial death could they hope to sii in ms And we recall how loyally they agreed to those terms. In proportion as we are aesiruua ui t. th Master's approval and smile, let us each seek to cultivate his character-likeness. xne apuoui- m v, ench conies of God s dear Son are to be honored with a share with hi in Viia Klnardom glory on the heav- ly plane. To such will come the honor and privilege of blessing and uplifting mankind in general w an mij ..otinn in Paradise restored by and by. As we note the special features of "character which called forth he Master's love we will more and more be able to copy them in reaching our goal.'- See J.
