TWO CENTS. rf v J THE DAYOF VOTES Polls Open In Topeka at Six O'clock This Morning. Closes Most Exciting Primary Campaign Known. CENTERS IN SHERIFF. Contest for This Nomination Most Exciting. Stubbs People Say Rain Farors His Cause. The voting: began at 6 o'clock this morning in Topeka and other Kansas cities. In the country districts the polls did not open till 8 o'clock. The heavy rain had the effect of making the early voting slower than usual, but nevertheless the indications are for a heavy vote in Topeka. as the polls do not close until 7 p. m. The interest in the local campaign centers in the contest for sheriff, but there has been a great deal of activity In the scramble for the offices of reg ister of deeds, county clerk and treas urer. There is a feeling that Sheriff Norton has gained much strength dur ing the last few days, the so-called law and order forces having deserted J. B. Eetts in large numbers. There may be enough votes. consequently, to nominate Colonel Norton, but no one can safely forecast the outcome. Stubbs Workers Confident. It rained the night before "Waterloo and was cloudy on the morning of Austerlitz. Napoleon lost his crown at one battle and won a kingdom or two at the- other. It rained last night, and the men who deal in signs and portents can read the future from h tnrm m thev list. The Stubbs men said yesterday that a rain Monday night would be worth 10.000 votes to Governor Stubbs. They argued that the farmers were still busy in the fields and would not turn out in such numbers to vote in fair weather as they would if the fields were too wet to work. Both sides had men in the field up to the last minute Monday night. Governor Stubbs made six speeches Monday and thereby set a good ex ample to his supporters for industry. Wagstaff spent the day in his home county of Montgomery. Of course, both sides were claiming the election this morning. J. N. Dolley, the prophet of Maple Hill, with a record to sus tain, was as confident today as he ever was in his life that the Stubbs ma jority would be impressive enough to crush his enemies. The Wagstaff man agers were satisfied with their cam paign and are looking forward to a neck and neck struggle. Count WU1 Be Slow. It Is going to take a long time to count the ballots. The result will be hard to determine at midnight where the contest is at all close, A lanasnae for Stubbs will be able to be deter mined early as will also a slump against him. In the counties where there are local contests the vote will be heavy and the tickets long. There is every indication today that the pri mary vote this year will be heavier than it was two years ago. The farm ers' fields are too wet to work, but it did not rain this morning. In fact the cloudy weather comes as a relief from the hot sunshine. The vote should be very heavy. The Wagstaff headquarters will not handle any returns, but the Stubbs headquarters will be open all night and the newspaper offices will also re ceive bulletins from the principal vote centers of the state. The State Jour nal bulletin board will be posted with returns as long as the crowd waits to hear results. All the state officials with very few exceptions left Monday for their homes to vote. Many things have combined to arouse deep interest in the primary today. Besides the bitter fight for the governorship there is a contest for blood in six of the eight congressional districts. National issues play a part. Standpatters, insurgents, machine men, square dealers, local candidates and their following, all were out early today and will work late. No one but the son of a fool would make predictions on the day of battle. It is easy enough to prophesy a week before or a day or two before, but to day the answer comes too quickly to make a reputation safe. A landslide, a slump or an even battle, take your choice. Vote Will Be Heavy. In Topeka the vote is good excep tionally good for such hot weather. All of the precincts report good sub stantial votes to the State Journal and all of them expect almost a complete turnout before evening. The strenuous county campaign of the last few weeks has aroused the voting people of the city. If a person does not vote today it is because one of the 100 automobiles and 250 car riages pressed Into service by county and state candidates has not been around. The candidates have every office, every place of business and ev ery laboring place spotted today and they have persuaded the "bosses" to give their employes a few minutes to spin to the polls. "I am very well satisfied with the vote today," said Captain C. H. Titus, election commissioner this afternoon. "From the reports we have in the of fice the people are taking consider able interest in the primaries." There has been no trouble of any kind at the polls. No arrests have been made. No one has accused an other of juggling the votes. None of the candidates have suspected the others of unfair means or methods. Despite the strenuous and mud-slinging campaign, the primaries are quiet and peaceful and the candidates have allowed Captain Titus to settle their differences as far as Topeka is con cerned. The heaviest vote according to the registration has been in the Third, Fifth and Sixth wards. The so-call-?d "aristocratic" vote covers these wards. This means that the voters have had most of the morning and afternoon to vote. 'Early factory or shop whistles have not called them from their "fire side." In the First, Second and Fourth wards the vote is lighter up until 4 o'clock this afternoon. At 4 o'clock the Santa Fe employes leave work. From ELECTION BULLETINS. The State Journal will post election bulletins tonight. The polls dose at 7 o'clock and the returns will be Blow coming in on account of the length of the ballot. The progress of the count in Topeka will be announced by meg aphone. then until the polls close a big business Is expected in the First, Second and Fourth wards. Here are fair examples of the vote in the two sections of the city. In the Fifth of the Second there is a rgis tration of 391, the vote at 3 o'clock this afternoon was 141. It will be seen that the vote here is less than half. This 13 the situation In all of the First, Second and part of the Fourth wards. In the Second precinct of the Sixth ward where the registration was 443 the vote at 3 o'clock this afternoon was about 275. Thte explains the situation in the Third, Fifth and Sixth wards. The total registration in the city is 9,502. This is hot weather for voters also hot for judges and clerks. The rain ,,-aa a crnrlftend to the lUOgeS and clerks, says, the election commls- pioncr, captain ncus. xn the vnriety handed forth last week a lumber of the cider men employed T.ould have been overcome by the hea. in the cubby holes wnicn srrve as ii g places over the city. Some of the polls are placed in air tight carpenter shops and barna with the aun pouring into the only openings. "There nv.iy be prostrations or ho'es in the ranks when the men have to work under the hot lights tonight," said Captain Titus. number of voters keep tne tele phones in the ofllce of election com missioner busy with complaints that they were not allowed to vote. All of them W"re turned down legally. Many people forget that they failed to vote at the last general election or that they have moved !-"nce voting. On North Side. Kt 2 o'clock Ncrth Topeka was con ceded to be strung for Colvin, who is carrying the sheriff vote on that side of the river. In the first precinct of the First ward 78 votes had been cast out of a registration of 194; second pre cinct 122 out of 335; third precinct, 170 out of 405; fourth precinct, 123 out of 321. STUBBS IS PLEASED. Governor Says tlie Situation Could Not Be Better. In reply to a telephone call today. Governor Stubbs, who is at his home in Lawrence, declared that he never felt better in his life and was well pleased with the situation today. All he asked for was a heavy vote and this seemed sure after the rain of last night. v j. Asked about the situation today, he said: "I am feeling good about it. Don't see how it could be better. No, I know nothing about the vote here in Lawrence today. I have been rest ing quietly at home except when I went to the polls to vote. I under stand that the vote is heavy." The governor had a splendid meeting at Osage City last nigm, one oi me best of the campaign. 'Dtttchiii.cr A ii c Thft votine- was light here today up to the noon hour. Abilene, Aug. 2. The vote is light here and will fall below that of two years ago unless there is a heavy vote late in the afternoon. Holton, Aug. 2. The voting began here early and at noon a heavy vote had been polled. It is expected that Jackson county will cast a heavier vote at the primary this year than two years ago. Paola, Aug. 2. A heavy vote was cast here this morning. The country precincts of this county, Miami, also report a heavy vote. McPherson, Aug. 2. The primary vote of this county of two years ago will be exceeded today by many votes. The morning vote was very heavy and there is deep interest in the election all over the county. Maple Hill, Aug. 2. This precinct of Wabaunsee county will cast a heav ier vote today than two years ago. If the morning vote is any indication. Auto Struck by a Train. Galesburg, 111., Aug. 2. Cashier C. E. Johnson of the Bank of Galesburg, his wife and eon, were seriously hurt today when their automobile was struck by a Chicago, Burlington yulncy passenger train.

A Hot Fight for the Governor ship Is in Progress. Two Women Bnnning for Place on State Commission. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 2.-In the state wide primaries in progress in Oklahoma today, the greatest interest centers about the Democratic gubernatorial race, the voting In the proposed "Grand father clause" constitutional amend ment and the Republican congressional contests in the First, Second and Third districts. The weather is favorable and a heavy vote is likely. In each of the first three congressional districts, the present incumbent. Bird S. McGuire of Pawnee, Dick T. Morgan of Woodward, and C. F. Creager of Muskogee, "stand patters," are opposed for renomination by one or more candidates, running on platforms more or less insurgent. It is conceded that all three have good chances of renomination. In the. Fourth and Fifth districts which are heavily Democratic both Charles C. Carter of Ardmore and Scott Ferris of Lawton, Democrats, will, it is conceded, be renominated without opposition. The Democratic candidates for gov ernor are Lee Cruce of Ardmore, a banker; William H. Murray of Tisn omingo, president of the constitu tional convention and speaker of the first legislature; Leslie P. Ross of Lawton, Governor Haskell's bitterest enemy in the Democratic party and a candidate on a resubmission, anti-prohibition platform. Murray's personal following is known to be large, while Cruce has the power of the Haskell ad ministration behind him. Republican candidates for governor are J. W. McNeall of Guthrie, exGov ernor Thompson R. Ferguson of Wa tonga; John Fields and C. G. Jones of Oklahoma City. Jones managed Okla homa City's recent capital campaign. Under the provisions of the proposed "grandfather clause" amendment to the constitution, the ignorant negro voters in Oklahoma, numbering from 10,000 to 20,000, will be disfranchised. A special act of the last legislature, paving the way for the amendment, provides a method of counting ballots, designed to make more certain the adoption of the amendment- Two wo men are candidates for state commis sioners of charities and corrections. Miss Kate Barnard, on the Democratic ticket, seeks renomination, and she is opposed by Mrs. Kate H. Riggers of Marlow, Republican, who is president of the Woman's Suffrage association of Oklahoma. The Republicans assert hat Mrs. Biggers will get many Democratic votes as a result of Lee Cruce having gone on record against women voting. GUTHRIE With weather condi tions good there was heavy voting at the opening of the primaries today. Along the northern state line there were threats of showers early this morning, but no rain has fallen in the state. The polls close at 7 o'clock. In Missouri. -ST. LOUIS, MO. Missouri voters began at 6 o'clock this morning to choose their nominees for congress, three state officers, state legislators and many county officers. It is ex pected that the voting will be light throughout the state. The polls will close at 7 o'clock tonight The interest in the primary election centers largely in the congressional or local contests. The Democrats, Re publicans, Prohibitionists and Social ists have but one candidate, each seeking the nomination for a judge of the supreme court and state super intendent of schools. Five Democrats are contending for the nomination of state railway and warehouse commis sioner. Six of the ten Democratic congTesmen will get a renomination without opposition, including ChamQ, Clark, the present minority leader in the house of representatives. All of the present congressmen from Mis souri, with the exception of Harry M. Coudery of the 12th district, are seek ing renomination. The Fifth and Fourteenth districts have two candidates each seeking the IF THE RURAL VOTE IS AND SAVEi congressional nomination on the Re publican ticket on the insurgent and standpat issues. The tariff is not an issue in any con gressional district and outside of two districts, each candidate that has op position is depending on his personal ity to win' him the nomination. The primary today is the second trial of the primary election law in Missouri. The last legislature .amended the law by providing for alternating the names of candidates Tunning for a given office at the "top of the list in certain counties and cities.. Still in this Race. RICHMOND, MO. "The news papers killed m one day too soon. I'll show, them a lively corpse. I wasn't murdered beside the railroad track and I'm running for the nomina tion for circuit clerk of the county at the primaries today." This is the explanation "M. J. Hen derson, an attorney of this place, gives of his supposed murder near Orrick, Mo., reported in the Kansas City news papers. The body found beside the railway track at Orrick and reported to be that of Henderson was that of John McAfee, i farmer. KANSAS CITY A heavy rain ex tending over most of northwestern Missouri resulted In a rather light early vote. Later the skies partly cleared and brought the voters out. The indications are that the rain is over here and a heavy vote is expect ed before the day is over. STARTS FOR KENTUCKY. AVendllng Is Returning to Answer the Charge of Murder. San Francisco, Aug. 2. In charge of Captain of Detectives J. P. Carney, through whose efforts he was run to earth, Joseph Wendling, accused of the murder of Alma Kellner, of Louis ville, Ky left today; for the scene of the crime for which he will be tried. It is believed here by the detectives who have assisted fn the chase and ar rest of Wendling that Carney will take extraordinary precautions to guard his prisoner after he reaches the boundary of Kentucky, as it is report ed that the feeling there runs high against the accused man. Notwithstanding his cheerful air, Wendling has been guarded closely in his cell for fear he might attempt sui cide. Wendling before his departure was measured by the local idetiflca tion bureau. He reiterated his desire to return quickly to Louisville. Colonel H. Watson Lindsey, chief of police of Louisville, accompanied by Colonel John Walen, will meet Cap tain Carney and Wendling at Denver. COSTS $12,Q0OA DAY. Street Car Strike at Columbus Fix pen sive to the (state. Columbus, O., Aug" 2. Governor Harmon is considering today of with drawing about half of the national guard now here on riot duty and cut ting down the expenses of maintain ing the soldiers from $12,000 a day to about $5,000. In that event half of the street cars will be taken off and all lines abandoned temporarily, with the exception of the West Broad street, Long street and High street. Negotia tions for a settlement of the strike were renewed today with but little prospect of an agreement. The sending home of certain troops would cut out the division formation and would relieve from duty Major Charles Dick, United States senator, and all his staff officers. General Wey brecht' says that the troops on duty here are just sufficient to protect all cars now in operation. It would be folly, he says, to withdraw any troops unless certain car lines are abandoned. Governor Harmon is now in confer ence with Mayor Marshall. FOUR NEGROES DEAD. Posses Are Scouring the Woods on Hunt for More. Pensacola, Fla., Aug. 2. Posses have been scouring the woods all night and early today in the vicinity of Dady, in the northwestern part of Holmes county, for negroes who may have knowledge of the assault on lit tle Bessie Morison, which resulted in the death of the girl last Friday and the lynching of four negroes. Sheriff Kell, it is said, left Bonifay today with a posse and will endeavor to put an end to the trouble. It is stated also that several negroes have been fired on but no additional deaths are reported.

When it was over the govern ment gauge registered 1.04 inches pre cipitation or two-thirds as much as fell during the entire month of July. The rain will undoubtedly be the sal vation of the corn of the state In the eastern section, as farmers have com plained during the past week that the hot winds had left the crop in a con dition such that only early rain would save it. The local weather bureau acknow ledges thac the weather dispatcher of the southwest slipped one over on them by sending up the rain and explain it in the following way. Monday morning when the forecast was sent in from that region rain was falling in the Pan handle and in Oklahoma at Enid and contiguous points. Thedisturbance.how ever, was not taken to be serious enough to provide rain for so great a territory as would reach Kansas and it was not scheduled for so long a jour ney. The night temperatures which had varied only from 86 at sunset to 82 at midnight and kept the forenight a nervously hot one with little breeze, be gan to fall after 12 o'clock and at 4:30 when the rain began the thermometer recorded 79 degrees.

Next year it is expected to run a conduit to Home street as far west as Washburn college; i "Three years ago," said W. P. Hemp. hill, vice president and general man--ager of the company, "when we moved into our new exchange we figured that we had a plant large enough to meet the demands of the Topeka people for. 20 years, but the growth within the last year has made it necessary to en large our capacity. "We now have more than 10.000 tele- phones in Shawnee county. Topeka i well known as a telephone town. We have more telephones here in Topeka than there are in one of our neighbor ing cities with a population nearly three times as large." RAIN GIVES RELIEF.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1910. LOSE INELEVENTH Packers Take Fourth Straight From Coolejsox. Thomason and Boles Get Tying Bans in Seventh. SCORE STANDS 5 TO 4. Fugate Strikes Out Six, Allow Ins Only Four Hits. Alderman, for Sioux Gets Sixth Session Belief. The Cooleysox lost the fourth straight game to the Packers by a strangle hold in 11 innings, 6 to 4. In the convalescence of Umpire Flynn, formerly an umpire in Topeka, the Sox all but frightened away that bird of sombre plumage Bumluck which has hovered over the camp, but the uncanny fowl settled back down in the eleventh and all was lost. In the third inning the Sioux got one and Topeka came back at them with two. Then in the fourth the Indians added three and Topeka tied it in the seventh. Relieving Wright In the fifth ses sion, Fugate pitched his game of the season, striking out six men "in the six Innings and allowing only four hits. On top of that old Bumluck would have it that he lose and he did indi rectly lose his own game in the elev enth when Andreas, the first man up, hit to Abbott. Fugate covered the sack In time, but let the throw slip off his glove. Alderman, the side wheeler, was sent back on the mound by the Indians to repeat his performance of Saturday, but this hoodoo was not working so well and he had to be relieved in the sixth, after Kerns was hit by Marty O'Toole. He is the man who does not like a Victor ball and therefore seem ingly throws is straight across. At that the Topeka bunch whiffed five times in six innings and got no walk. Wright was touched hard in the fourth, when Neighbors paid his call with a three sacker to the fence and Hartman hit behind him. Testsie Al derman following, laid one out to Kunkle, who Jabbed bad to Abbott and paved the way for the steam roller. Andreas banked one over second and Hartman scored, but he was caught off second. Stem then drew a walk and Myers sacrificed by a high fly, scoring Alderman. Quillen flew out and the Inning was over with less disaster than promised. That was all the scoring the visit ors did until the eleventh, for Fugate took the mould repeatedly striking out the Packer sluggers in the pinches. In the sixth he whiffed all three batters to the plate in one-two-three order. Thomason got a two bagger and two singles and a walk in six trips to the pan and Kunkle doubled once and got two singles in five times up. Kerns also came through with two singles. It was a hit by Thomason that started the scoring for Topeka Boles, who had replaced Landreth In the sec ond, singled: Thomason tallied on Welch's fielder's choice,, which killed Boles at second. But Welch scored when Kunkle doubled and Topeka was In the lead for a time. The two to tie the score came in the seventh, when they began to lay to O'Toole. Thom ason doubled and Boles hit safe, scor ing him. A moment later Kunkle hit again, scoring Boles. That was all and the extra Inning strain resulted. The Packers won it in the eleventh on Fu gate's error of Abbott's throw of Andreas' grounder when Myers sin gled, bringing in the run. Score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

Emily Ellen Cleans Up the $10,000 3- Tear OJd Futurity. Detroit, Aug. 2. The opening of the Detroit driving club twenty-sixth annual blue ribbon meet which covers the second week of the grand circuit season, was favored with racing little short of ideal. Fast time was made in all the events and the last race of the day, the 2:05 pace brought out the two fastest heats of the year. Emily Ellen was the big winner of the day, taking the large end of the rich futurity for three-year-old trot ters. In which Eva Belinl was favorite. She led from start to finish in every heat and was never in danger. The third heat in this event developed the closest finish of the day. Behind the winner, Chatty Direct, Eva Bellini and Bergen came to the wire under the whip and finished so close together that the spectators could not pick their positions. The $11,000 stake was divided as follows: Emily Ellen, 87,- HOW HAPPY THE For It Cured My Baby of Itching, Tor turing Eczema. First Came when Between 3 and 4 Weeks Old.

"For about two weeks I had used Cutl cur Soap for her every dav, then I got a box of Cuticura Ointment and began to use that. In a week there was a marked im provement.

Jeffries at Last Admits What Everyone Believes. Los Angeles, Aug. 2. James J." Jef fries dons not charge that he was drug ged at Reno on July 4 when he was de feated for the world's heavyweight championship. He denied unequivocal ly all published statements to that ef fect. Interviewed by the Associated Press reporter today, Jeffries said: "I never said I was drugged at Reno. I never said anything like that." Jeffries was shown a copy of a local newspaper which printed a sensational story that the former champion had spoken for the first time since tho fight and had flatly charged he had been drugged for days before the fight took place. Jeffries glanced at the big headlines of the paper which read: "Drugged, Jeffries Declared." "I never said it; I never said I was drugged," said Jeffries, with that he threw the paper down and walked away. GANS GIVES tJI' THE IT GUT. Former Lightweight Champion Is Go ing Home to Die. Prescott, Ariz.,' Aug. 2.Joe Gans, the former lightweight champion, who has been in this city for months, slowly dy ing of consumption, is preparing to leave here for his old home in Balti more. His condition is unchanged. Realizing a fatal illness is fast cut ting his life short, and longing to see his children and mother before he dies. Gans has determined to end his life in Baltimore. It is doubtful if he can survive the Journey home. Just before taking the train Gans said: "I know that I am going to die and feel that 1 am growing weaker day by day. I want to see mother and the two children in Baltimore before I die. My last two fights broko down my consti tution and made me an easy victim for consumption." Pitcher Has Jnf antilo Paralysis.

BASEBALL GOSSIP. Where They Play Tomorrow. Omaha at Topeka. Sioux City at Denver. Des Moines at Wichita, Lincoln at St. Joseph. There is no game iat League park to day the schedute& game with Sioux City having been played off in the Sun day double header to allow the Pack ers to reach Denver for the series to morrow. Big Cy Landreth has been traded by Cooley to the Galveston club in the lexas League for Riley, an outfielder. The big fellow with the uncertain dis position will leave at once and the new player will hurry here to get into the Omaha series. Whether Landreth has been playing for release is not certain but he has loafed after long hits in the last two series and then thrown them carelessly to the diamond. Sev eral scores have counted against tha pummelled -Cooley3 lust on that ac count. Perhaps this is Landreth 's month off. He usually takes a vaca tion about this time of the season and it's a two to one bet he goes to the farm to look over the pumpkins. Cool ey took him out Monday after a poor thowing in the first innng and sent Boles into the sun garden. Jake Beckley, who has been manag ing the Bartlesville bunch, will be here tomorrow for the Omaha series and work at first. A Wichita Eagle reference to the um pire who failed to make good: Yes, we have some good news anyhow, even if we didn't get a chance to put one ever on the Antelopes yesterday. Lis ten, you fans: "Umpire" Flynn has gone to Topeka and UMPIRE Mullen Is in town. Wichita Beacon: This department thoroughly hates to knock on Presi dent O'Neill's umpires, but Flynn sure ly ought to learn the game before he attempts to work in Class A league. Not only in his judgment on balls and strikes lamentably bad not missing one here and there, but throwing a pitcher into the air by missing eight out of ten of them but what he doesn't know about the game la plainly in evidence. Along with this he shows an absolute failure to exercise any control over tne players. Thursday he let the Omaha club tramp over him ruthlessly, ana yesterday he was just as bad the other way, chasing players out of the park before they had said anything to justi fy such action. Please, Mr. O'Neill, send us Soencer. Otto Floto in Denver Post: There was a certain cliaue of "knockers" in the Omaha grandstand last Sunday afternoon that took a keen delight in guying Third Baseman Moriarity. The latter had been In Omaha but a week or so. and if he plays bad ball they themselves will be responsible for it. How can a player do his best when the stands are continually finding fault with him. His mind is on getting away from the town and not on the game. I have been around the cir cuit in quite a few towns, and St. Joe strikes me as being best to her play ers. The team Is way down in the race, and still the crowd is with the players. When a player makes an error or boots a ball they say: "That's all right; better luck next time." With that sort of spirit shown by the fans the town will have a winning team, the men will play harder and take de feat more keenly than they would If the fans In the stands were knocking all the time. St. Joseph Gazette: St, Joseph fans got their first opportunity or seeing Clyde Williams and Clemmons work Sunday. Wllliamsi- was laid up with a broken arm when the Champs were here before. Clemmons is a new ac quisition. And he is some catcher, too. The way he pegs to second makes it look like sure suicide to try to steal. Corhan was the only Drummer who swiped a bag yesterday.

Published by the Growers ELECTRICJS PLAN Projected Interurban Line May Be Extended to Topeka. Froposal Now Being Made to Kansas City, Kansas. ASKED TO TAKE BONDS People Get an Appeal Through Mercantile Club. Other Items of General Interest to Readers in State. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 2. An, inter urban electric line from Bonner Springs to Kansas City, Kan., tapping the most populous portion of Wyan dotte county, a line which can later be extended up the Eaw river .to paw rence and Topeka, will be assured if a proposal being made to Kansas City, Kan., by the Freeborn Engineering and Construction company is accepted. This proposal is tnat the citizens of Kansas City, Kan., dispose of a liberal per cent of the bonds which the en gineering company is to receive from the Kansas City, Kaw Valley West ern railway company, promoters of the line, for the construction work. It will be submitted to the people through the commissioners and through the Mer cantile club. Such a line would make easily ac cessible the produce markets of Kan sas City to the truck farmers of Wyandotte county. It would also link up the lower Kaw valley with Kansas City. Hourly service would be oper ated over it between Kansas City, Lawrence and Topeka. The railway company which is back ing the project has already construct ed five miles of track from Bonner Springs east to Forest Lake, and is operating a regular service over it. All of the right-of-way from Forest Lake to Bethel, Kan., on the Leavenworth electric line is also graded. If the bonds for the direct line can not be sold, the company will operate its cars into Kansas City over the tracks of the Leavenworth line from Bethel. The direct line would start from this graded track somewhere between the Reidy and the Parallel roads, and would extend into Kansas City, Kan., at Nineteenth stret and Minnesota avenue. It is thought that it will be of far greater benefit to Kansas -City as a whole than the line which, em ploying the Leavenworth tracks from Bethel, would leave untouched prac tically the whole of the middle portion of truck farming, Wyandotte county.

So appalling has become the death rate from in fantile paralysis, as shown In the re ports from Iowa, Kansas and other states, that the United States govern ment has decided to investigate the question thoroughly and do what it can to prevent the spread of the dread disease. Dr. John F. Anderson, di rector of the hygienic laboratory of the public health and marine hospital ser vice made this announcement today, following a conference with Dr. Wal ter Wyman, the surgeon general of the service.

The germ, or whatever it is that is at the mottom of the trouble, is pretty much of a mystery to medical men at present. Dr. Anderson said that the bacteriologists have so far been al most completely baffled. In many cities the health authorities have al ready declared the disease to be in fectious. Mason City, la., Aug. 2. William Pine, 22 years old, died here today of Infantile paralysis, making the fourth death from the disease. There are fifty-eight cases in the city. DELIVERS DEAD MABRAY MAN. Postoffice Inspector's Trip to Minneola Turns Out Surprisingly. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 2. Boone B. Jacobs, under name of Frank Harper, is in Minneola, Kan., M. D. O wings, marshal there, will point him out. That message .from H. A. Thomp son, formerly chief of police of Tulsa, Ok., reached J. P. Johnston, postof fice inspector in charge here, Friday afternoon. Jacobs was one of the Mabray gang indicted at Council Bluffs and Omaha last October. Shortly after the in dictments were returned he was ar rested in Denver, gave a 31,500 bond and jumped it. In April he was aN rested again in Tulsa by Thompson; then chief of police there, and later broke jail. Naturally Mr. Johnston was inter ested in finding Jacobs. I. C. Stone rook, postoffice inspector, boarded the first train for Topeka, procured a war rant from the United States commis sioner, and started for Minneola. In the meantime, J. S. Swenson, postof fice inspector from Council Bluffs, had stopped here to call on Mr. Johnston He also started for Minneola. joining fctonerook on the train at Topeka. They reached Minneola late at night. Owms was found. "We want Jacobs," the inspector said to mm. "I thought that fellow was wanted somewhere," Owlngs said, "because after he committed suicide July 8 I found letters in his pockets which showed he wasn't Frank Hunter at all, but Jacobs. I just sent out no tices about his being here. I guess that's how you fellows found It out. Yes, he's dead and buried. He was working on a farm about ten miles from here when he killed him self!" KANSAS FLOUR NOW MOVING. Ruling Price in New York Probably Correctly Quoted at $5.25. New York, Aug. 2. It might truly be said that the market for spring patents, locally at least, has subsided. Interest is chiefly in Kansas flour and there is a little more doing in that di rection, which is not at all surprising considering its relative cheapness. Naturally buyers are seeking to make the best possible terms and adhere to their belief that prices will be lower, basing their contention on the accum ulations of new wheat in the south west. Hence, they are limiting their purchases as close to their require ments as possible. There are some rather well denned rumors of sales of Kansas straights at $5, but it is known that the good brands are bringing $5.25 and in les ser quantities up as high as $5.40. The ruling price is probably correctly quoted at $5.25, but it is known that Kansas straights are offering here at $5. These, however, are not Kansas straights other than in name, accord ing to those who claim to be well post ed, as they are said to be made up of the softer varieties and to contain a large admixture of Nebraska wheat. There are some samples of fancy Kan sas flour made from the new wheat being shown on the Produce Ex change, and of such excellent quality as to be tempting, except that they are held as high as $5.40 or more, which is claimed to be a reasonable figure on their merits. ROBERT TURNER TAKES A WIFE. Kansas Politician Leads Mrs. Fannie Stnrtevak to the Altar. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 2. The Her ald today prints the following: Mrs. Franch V. Sturtvak and Robert W.

Man on the Road Gives Testimony Regarding Kan., Okla., and Neb. 1 Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 2. The ac tual condition of affairs in this section, pending the great uncertainty over the corn crop outcome, is indicated by the following statement, made to his banker here by one of the most intel ligent travelling salesmen who has Just come in from a six weeks' trip among the country merchants in the states of Kansas, Nebraska and Okla homa. "The country merchants," he said, "all complain of their last spring's trade. They are over-stocked with winter goods, strange as it may seem. Spring was late, and dragged along until the first of June without giving a chance to sell summer goods, and yet people wore their winter clothes, unwilling to buy more, thinking that summer would soon open. Hence the winter goods remained on the shelves and spring and summer goods did not. move. Merchants that had 'sales' in May-did -not take -in enough to -pay. their clerks, and they are carrying too many goods on that account. A hand-to-mouth buying has prevailed since. They have waited on the wheat and then on the corn and only small bills have been sold." TO HAVE CHAPTER BUILDING. Bine Rapids Women Organize Branch; -of American League. Blue Rapids. Kan., Aug. 2.

Men Don't Want Them on Pas sengers or Freights. Other Items or General Interest I in Traffic World. The eight-hour day. Passenger train schedules of pay for motor car service. No negro brakemen or flagmen on either passenger or freight trains. The mileage basis as pay for passen ger crews ir-ead of a monthly wage. Recognition of railway brotherhoods through committees and general offi cers. fextra pay for all preparatory timo over 30 minutes before train leave ter minals. r These are the leading demands made ty the railway trainmen and conduc tors at the annual conference which is feeing held in St. Louis today. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors are talking over wages, hours and work ing rules with the general managers of the 52 western railroads. The result of this conference is one that is awaited with anxiety by the railroad officials and the railroad train men in Topeka. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe, the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific and the Union Pacific are leading roads in the defense of these demands. All of these roads especially the Santa Fe have a keen interest In Ihe conference and it is the main topic of conversation in Topeka railroad cir cles. Among the roads to be affected by the plans are: n... j r. TTn inn Pacific, Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Katy, Frisco, Denver Rio Grande, Fort Worth Denver, Chicago Great "Western and many other roads which have a direct effect on Kansas and this western territory. It is estimated by local railroad offi cials that on iht:se various roads there era about 7.000 trainmen and conduc tors. If a strike results through fail ure of negotiations there will be a com plete paralysis of business and not a pound of freight or a passenger will run west of Chicago to this territory- The trainmen and conductors have not decided on any percentage of in crease but it is likely that some formal demand for a stated increase in wages will be presented before the committees udjourn and a settlement is reached. If the eight-hour a day petition Is granted it will mean that the men will be patd-on tho basis of 12H cents miles an hoar and will give them far more compensation and a bigger rate of in crease than if they had asked for a stated percentage of increase. This vast army of railroad men that is asking for more wages and better working rules and a general betterment of conditions was granted an increase of about 10 per cent in 1907. They now claim that the changed conditions have w iped out completely this advance and that the men are back to the old scale. A number of Topeka employes are attending the St. Louis meeting. SEES. A PERMANENT RULING. Railroads Anticipate Law Which Goes Into Effect August 17. St. Louis, Aug. 2. The long and short haul clause of the new rate law does not become effective until August 17.

THEY WANT NEWSPAPER MEN. Railroads Look for Journalists in Public Work. The bureau of railway economics, which is to "disseminate correct knowledge in regard to freight rates and other questions In which the rail ways and the public are Jointly inter ested," has been put in charge of Logan G. McPherson. The office of the bureau is to be in the Munsey building at Washington. Mr. McPher son has been a frequent contributor to the Railway Age Gazette, and is the author of two works on transportation, "The Working of the Railroads" and of "Railroad Fruight Rates in Rela tion to the Industry and Commerce of the United States." Before becoming interested specifically in railway eco nomic matteds, Mr. McPherson was a newspaper man, and it was while do ing newspaper work that he first be came interested in railway economics. Being a journalist he has peculiar qualifications for presenting that as pect of the railway question which will be best understood by the general pub lic. Usually when the railways find it necessarw or desirable to go to the public with a proposition which they must Justify, it is necessary first to make a study of various alternative propositions that may be adopted, and then select that one which allows of the most full and fair Justification.

This piece will- be from Todd to Cotton wood, distance of seven miles between Barstow and Victorville. The work of track laying and sur facing probably will be completed to day by the special gang which has been employed on the job for some time. The track when they leave it will be ready for service and the opera tion of trains over it will be com menced at once. The balance of the double tracking all the way from Cottonwood to Dag gett will be rushed along as rapidly as possible, and the entire piece will Fred Prout spent Sunday visiting friends and relatives in Kansas City.

Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd- Battle Creek, Michigan President E P. Ripley, of the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe, has taken his pen in hand to make a few observa tions anent William Allen White. Mr. Ripley says: "I observe that my friend White, of the Emporia Gazette, has been paying me some attention, of a character thct seems to call for a return. He is pleased to re edit me with some know ledge of railroad matters and begins by throwing a few bouquets at the Santa Fe and incidentally at me personally, but he proceeds 4o remark that as a writer 1 am not a success In fact he seems to have no -.use whatever for the 'products of my pen.' "Now. as a matter of fact, I haven't been writing anything. Sundry repor ters have interviewed me more or less lengthily and I have -not hesitated to say what I thought about the attitude of legislatures and courts and a par! of the public towards the railroads, but I have not gone into print over my own signature, and the interviewers have not generally reproduced my re marks with exactness. But let that pass. "I. might say since Mr. White lias set me an example in the way of passing flowers, that I yield to no one in my admiration for Mr. White as a writer of fiction ""-i 'irther, I know of no one who is 'shyer than that same Mr. White on facts. "He tells me that the 'good old days are gone:' that within ten years every road will be 'earning dividends on stock issued under government supervision. Also that "the rates will be made by government experts,' and the "charac ter of the service will be fixed by gov, ernmeni authority' and that the 'stocks and bonds so issued will have a value far more staple (sic) than those now on the market. "He says, moreover, that this- is neither socialism nor government own ership I agree with him that it is not government ownership, but it certain 1 comes very near socialism, if I un derstand what the word means. "The government is to prescribe: "1. The rates. "2. The amount and character of the service. "3. The amount and character of the capitalization. "Does the government accept an re sponsibility? "Does it guarantee that such capital' ization as it authorizes shall earn any' thing? Oh, no! The. man who owns stocks or bonds la ta have no voice as to what mav .be earned, or what, may be spent. We are asked to invest our savings in an enterprise over which we have no control whatever, on the assumption that somehow -and some way tne 'Lord will provide.' "Brother White claims that the American people 'have the genius of organization,' that the 'government is row digging a great canal as cheaply as it ciuld be done by a private cor poration.' Where is his authority for it hat? Already it is known that- the canal will exceed its estimated cost by 100 per cent, and the end is not yet. As Individuals or as organized In cor- orations the people have genius enough, but as a government I fancy no one would care to say that we do anything well or economically witness that colossal incompetency, the national postomce department, which piles ud millions of deficit every year and whose only efficiency is derived from the use or tho railroads that it underpays and browbeats, witness also the annual river and harbor fraud on the tax payers. Does Not Object to Valuation. "Personally I do not object to the so- called Valuation of railroads.' There are few that are overcaptallzed, and tne santa ire is not one of them. But when the valuation has been made of what use Is it? "The Santa Fe railroad runs through. iiansas from east to west it is. as Mr. White will doubtless admit, in fine physical condition, and it is capitalized at about $65,000 per mile. Suppose there is another road runnlnur along si'e of it for three or four hundred miles, of inferior construction, cap italized at $30,000 per mile. Each road must necessarily charge the same rates any other basis would be inequitable to the towns along the line of each. Shall the rates oe fixed so as to allow the Santa Fe interest on the value of its property, or shall they be reduced to an amount only sufficient to allow the inferior line to earn its interest? If the higher rate is to govern the in ferior line would presumably earn more money than necessary to meet its obligations, which condition would be abhorrent to Mr. White, and his friends. If the rates were fixed at a point only sufficient to meet the neces sities of the Inferior line then the Santa Pe culd not meet its obligations and its road would gradually deteriorate to the level of the inferior line. Would that be in the interest of the public? Are the roads in Kansas any too good? Is it not for the interest of the whole public that the roads be able to earn enough to put large sums out of their earnings into the properties every year to keep up with the demands upon them? In the last ten years the Santa Fe has put at least fifty millions of its earnings into its property which is not represented at all in its capital account it is money which might have been paid in dividends to stockholders, but which they have chosen to dedicate to public uses. "The railroads must be Improved and their facilities enlarged; this costs money will Mr. White tell us where and how it shall be provided? If we borrow it must perforce add it to our capital: and the result will be as in England that the capitalization will in ten or twenty years rise to such enormous proportions that (as In Eng land) it will be difficult. If not Impos sible, to earn enougn to pay tne in terest. XTse of a Sinking Fund. "When the city of Emporia desires to make permanent ifprovemehts to its municipal plants 7 it issues bonds to raise the money, thereby mortgaging the earnings of future generations, but it does not transfer to its heirs all of the burden it provides a sinking fund for the extinguishment of those bonds and it must be provided for by the I present generation. So a well managed AN END TO SKIN TROUBLES. Action of Poslam Is Rapid Easy to Prove What It Will Do. TV think aavs Mr. 1 J. Cooner. North Haven, Conn., "that I have been trying everything (to cure eczema) for fifteen years, and now poslam has done it. The first application stopped all the itching." When a remedy is available like pos lam, which in all skin troubles stops itching and accomplishes cures so rap son -why such affections should be al lowed to go unchecked, particularly a no one is asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining and trying ons of the free trial packages. This will be sent by mail to any one who will write to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West 25th street. New York City. While primarily Intended ror inn treatment of eczema, acne, tetter, bar ber's and all other forms of Itch, etc., poslam promptly cures all the lesser Mn r.n4(nn. miph as Dimnles. blotches, fever blisters, red noses, in- flammed, skin, rash, herpes, sunuurn. clears the complexion ana neeya mo skin in healthy conlition. A special 50-cent package of poslam is prepared for minor uses, and this, as well as the regular two-dollar Jar, is i v... an 4m.iHstR. na-rticularlv the Rosser Drug Co. and Fred A. Snow. railroad must always provide for a por tion of its betterments out of earnings and must be allowed to collect th-s equivalent of the sinking fund from the present generation. If a railway com pany is limited by law to say 6 per cent dividends, and there is no surplus, the result is that it not only cannot im prove its property out of earnings but it has no credit with which to borrow for improvements. These are very sim ple and elementary truths which Mr. White and Mr. Cummins ignore: All the talk about 'railroad grafting" is nonsense there is no business in the country more honestly conducted nothing so public no industry whose affairs are so thoroughly supervised by all sorts of governmental agencies. There are fewer "leaks', defalcations and there is less of dishonesty than in any other line of large business enter prise. Gambling in stocks in Wall street is not railroading, nor does it control or influence railroad manage ment in its relation to the public. Tf the government desires to operate the railroads it should buy them at their fair valuation, and not attempt to run them at the expense of their own ers. It is notorious that neither our national, state, or municipal govern ments, ever transacted business eco nomically or well, and there is no rea son to expect anything but failure; and there is also grave danger in oinor ways needless to mention here, but it would be a fairer and more honorable course to buy and own them than to confiscate the property of individuals for public uses which is what Mr. White advocates in fact, if not in name." CRAWFORD TO BATTLE. St. Louis Film Magnate, Formerly of Topeka, Will Fight Combine. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 2. The revok ing of the license of the Crawford and the Western Film Exchanges by the Patents company and the announce ment that the Tale Film exchange. owned by the picture trust, would open has just been made public. While many of the exhibitors are planning to take service from the Yale company a number of them will continue doing business with the Crawford and Western companies for sixty days at least. It is said the trust will take away the licenses of the ex hibitors who continue to- take service from the two suspended firms but It is also said that the exhibitors have been promised that the two firms will pay the fine that would result from this procedure-. While neither Crawford nor the owners of the Western concern have made any announcement it is said that they contemplate a suit against the Patents company. It is rumored here that the licenses of the firms. were taken away because they did not buy enough releases, and that the Patents company believes that they can better supply the exhibitors of St. Louis with an exchange of their own. O. T. Crawford, the proprietor of the Crawford exchange is one of the biggest exhibitors in St. Louis as well as the owner of the Crawford ex change. He. has the Novelty theater and Roof Garden, a big interest In the Lyceum theater and in a hundred or more smaller houses in the city. He is one of the most aggressive and successful men in the picture game in St. Louis and he will prove a powerful enemy of the Patents com pany if he is not given a square deal. He is a son of L. M. Crawford of To peka, Kan. Besides owning an interest In a number of places Mr. Crawford has thousands of friends among the ex hibitors. He has been their friend through thick and thin and has car ried a number of them on the books during the times they have had bad business. The Western Film exchange, while not so powerful a factor, locally is said to have a great number of friends who will aid them in the fight on the Patents company. Many of the exhibitors say that they will not take films from the Yale com pany and that they will go over to the Independents if Crawford and the Western company are not reinstated.

Many candidates who showed 'sur AWelng" strength yesterday are not do ing quite as well today.' eAinii varfl has sustained and en hanced Its reputation as a catcher of Criminals. All 6i the candidates have Had their day. The voter is having his today. And his is the one that counts. Many of the political prophets of today will be hunting fot something teal in the way of worit tomorrow. Is the Topekan who does not believe there is an automobile In this city that goes over SO miles an hour a pessimist or an optimist? Dave Leahy's latest and likewise best Joke of the campaign Is his most serious pronouncement that GdVerno? Stubbs is not a politician. Nebraska has been shipping bad canned eggs to the east, notes th Chi cago News, and It adds! "Insurgent t-rzB are not easily forgiven. Nebraska should Stick to" Insurgent polities.' Old King David must have had a Vision of what the Kansas primary campaign for 1110 was going to de velop when he sang In the 116th Psalm: "I said In toy haste. All men ere llars." Corn crops In several sections of the state, which were put out of business a few days ago by the "crop killers" have been "saved" by opportune raihs. IThis Is getting to be a frightfully old Btory in Kansas, Mr. Leahy's announcement that there would be no "eleventh hour' statements from Governor Stubbs eyi dently did not place the ban on eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth hour statements from Mr. Leahy. A few weeks ago if the temperature tn these Carts reached 18 or 90 fle grees the weather was considered ta be unusually warm. Bucn tempera tares nowadays are looked Upon as cool and agreeable weather compared with that which has prevailed of late, An early frost is due this year, ac cording to the brethren of the goose bone weather prophets. It Is sched uled for about the first week In Sep tember. Katydid have been heard '-wrangling during the past few days, and this Is a "sure" sign that a frost will com along in about six weeks' time. A man who visited Beverly, Mass., fwltn the hopes of seeing President Taft had a large hammer In his pos session and was arrested. If all the then In the United States who have had their hammers out for Mr. Taft Had been arrested, it Would have been necessary to enlarge the Jail facilities of the country. Stage robbers, of today are appar ently not as chivalrous as were their prototypes of the past who have been told about In song and story. Two of them held up a stage coach In New Mexico the other day. They did not touch the man pouches and express package but contented themselves with taking all the valuables and money belonging to the two women passengers. The idea that a person can commit a serious crime and make a get-away has been rudely shattered again of late In two notable Instances the ar rest in San Francisco of Joseph Wend ling, thft alleged slayer of 8 -year-old Alma Kellfier Of Louisville, Ky., and the capture of Dr. Crippen and his girl companion in Canadian waters on al legations that they murdered Mrs. Crippen in London. The earth is large but there is no corner of It where a criminal can hide successfully If the police of the world make up their minds to catch him. "Aristotle said the small boy Is the only untamable wild animal,'- notes the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and It interestingly adds: "But the modern ..haiii tchr must-have faith and patience surpassing those of the an cient philosopher, for she It is gen' erally a woman has made the modern schoolboy generally amenable to dis cipline, reasonably respectful, sensible of the value of an education, and, on the whole, something more than the sluggish dullard, laggard and truant that he- used to be. There are still plenty of bad boys in school and out. but there are not so many of them as there formerly were."

From the figures presented by Mf Bone, who la In charge of the financial end of the city's government, It ap pears that the old city government ex pended $175,000 that should not have been appropriated until after the com missioners took their offices. He points out that $50,000 Of that sum rightfully belonged to this year's gen eral revenue fund. Not only that, but the Salaries of the firemen and police-' men were increased without any pro-1 vision having been made In the budget to cover the extra expense Involved in this raise of wages. There is nothing to the particular discredit of the offi cials of the old City government In us ing this money. They merely followed a custom which has prevailed for years of drawing ahead on this general revenue fund. Perhaps this was not a- good business practice, but It la one that cities In Kansas under the old raetnoa or government generally pur I suea. under the commission plafl, however, this practice is specifically forbidden, and an tvia ers are up against It to make both AnA moot iliiT-fno vi tneir mcumDency. I BO far they have not been able to figure out how this financial emera ency is to be met, but they will un doubtedly find a way. There is really no cause for alarm over fiscal condi tions of the city. But above ail, the city commissioners are m no way to blame for it.

An Emporia man told a painful story to the Sporting Editor not long ago. The Emporia man was married to a southern girl in life's early morn when his bosom was young, and had never visited his Wife's folks since his wed ding until recently. He was invited so often, and his wife was so Insistent, that he finally packed up and went to see the Old Folks-at Home, expecting to stay a month. After a few days he put his toothbrush and a pair of socks in a valise, and came back home. They were so aood to me that I couldn't stand It," he said. "Somebody was always trying to entertain me, and I nate to be entertained. someDoay was' always looking after my comfort, and I am used to looking after It my self. If I sat ddwn to read a book, somebody would bring a pillow to put back of my head. They were always bringing me glasses of lemonade, and pieces of pie. I couldn't have five min utes to myself. And then everybody wanted to talk, and I hat to talk." At this season there is a great oeai of Visiting. People go away to spend a souple of weeks with their Uncle Henry, and come back bored to death, and with their tempers ruined. It is large ly because of that foolish idea of "en tertaining." Most people, when they have a visitor, weary him with atten tion, and show him silly photographs, and load him down with things he doesn't want to eat and introduce him to people who make him tired, and bore him in every possible. If you have a visitor and want him tn hsvo a. onnA time, let him do as he pleases. It is a poor plan to kill a man with kindness. He won i appreciate it either living or dead. Emporia Ga zette.

TNE EVENING STORY Consul to Pango. (By Gerald Prime.) When Adam Hazeltine came from college a full fledged A. B. and the winner of a prize in oratory, he brought with him two Well developed ambitions. One ot these perhaps the one most fondly cherished was to make himself so essential to the fu ture of Jessica Halght that She could not build an air castle that did not Include him as an occupant. He believed that he had already made considerable progress toward the attainment of this premier ambi tion, and it inspired him with a robust determination to bring about the speedy realisation Of the other. That other Was the Inextinguishable desire to serve his country as Ameri can representative In some foreign port to be appointed to some eon- sulate on the long list beginning at ijonaon. tills latter ambition was something he had acauired at college. where he had specialised with direct reference to a future connection with Uncle Sam's diplomatlo and consular service. From the first his scheme to Inter est Jessica Haight In himself and his plans worked admirably. His cam paign was so well ordered that she capitulated without going to tne trou ble of making even the conventional show of resistance. Although his easy victory did not come as a surprise. Adam was proper ly elated; it would enable him to de vote his undivided attention to the promotion of his remaining aspiration. Besides, he had secured a very ener getic aliv in the young woman who had professed herself Willing to follow him to tne end or tne wona. Jessica's opportunity to beCOm aC' tive In the matter came immediately. Judge Enoch Haight, her father, was tl;e one man In New Thebes who id. if he would, exert a powerful in fluence in behalf of Adam's candidacy Although the Judge held no office, it was understood in rtew xneoes mat, despite the changes brought about by r-ivfl service reform, he was still a pow er in the political world, quite enough so to land a consular appointment had he thus elected. Ra was not so minded. Jessica was twoiitfYit in a sudden realisation of the fart at her first attempt to make him a party to the pretty scheme which she and Adam nad pevisea. tsne nu spent a good deal of time in thinking up a diplomatic Introduction to the busi ness but when the moment came she couldn't recall a wora ox it ana came out bluntly with a request that some thing handsome In the consular line be done for Mr. iaaeitine. ivtr.

"Why of course?" he asked, with no apparent modification of his as tonishment. And now she recalled the fact mat har father bad been riven no oppor tunity to become wise as to the honor which Adam purposed to corner on him. It was a trying situation, nut she was a young woman of courage and far too well acquainted with her father to stand in awe of him. Oh. I supposed you were interest ed in him," she answered, with an ex cellent Imitation of the indifference. which did not deceive the Judge for an instant. "You used to think him very bright, you know." He's outgrown It," he returned grimly. very likely," sne admitted psacia- ly. "Still, he's spent year and years in preparing himself for the business and I shouldn't think you'd feel like like "Like what? he interrupted im patiently. 'Like interfering wltn nis ca reer, she said stoutly, men, real izing the absurdity of her position, she laughed a little and paused to se lect a more vulnerable point of at tack.

I have never been accused of being lacking In the per ceptive faculty, but if you will tell me what you are driving at I shall esteem It a personal favor." I don t know wny i snouid, sne returned, with her- head in the air, "since you don't seem inclined to do me the slightest favor." The old man said no more, but brought his breakfast to an abrupt close and set out for his office. Even before he stepped into the street he ex changed his look of deep perplexity for one of keen and humorous apprecia tion. This became intensified a ne covered the short distance between his house and his place of business, and by the time he reached the latter his smile was so expansive that the other half of the Arm of Haight Williams, wno was the congressman from that dis trict, looked up from his oner and de manded an accounting. The Judge told the story from beginning to end and found In his partner a sympathetic sharer in the humor of the situation. "Tour little girl's all right," he chuck led gleefully. "Hadn't you better let me get something for the boy?" "Not on your life!" Mr. Williams was startled almost into seriousness. He tried it. but he mniiln't recall another occasion on which his dignified partner had made use of such an expression. Whv why he stammered. "Boy's all right. Isn't he?" "Couldn't be better." "All satisfactory to you. Isn't it?" "Perfectly." The congressman threw his cigar stub out of the window, tilted hia chair against the wall at an angle that would have been precarious for one leas expert and folded his arms. "I don't know anything better," he said dryly, "than to quote from your speech to Jessica. Here goes: "I am a lawyer of average Intelligence "Hold up!" broke in the Judge. "Glvs me a chance to say that it's my turn to do a little trick and I want you to help me." Whereupon ha proceeded to unfold a scheme which appealed ao strongly to his partner's sense of humor that he promised to co-operate In its develop ment. A few days later there came to Adam by mall a franked notice to the effect that he had been named as consul to Pango and that his confirmation was a certainty.

In an editorial of a column, on "The Fight in Kansas," the New York Evening Post says: "By Wednesday we shall know -hether there is anything 'the matter' with Kansas. There has been no doubt for several months that there is some thing the matter 'in Kansas.' If the result of the Republican primaries to morrow should show that the furore which has been sweeping the otate from end to end was merely a prelimi nary to gathering the crops, if the thousands who have flocked on torrid nights to hot halls to hear Bristow ami Stubbs and Murdock and Madison talk tariff and conservation and railway rates, with their coats off, have been merely whilin away the time', if Mr. Cannon has succeeded in convincing thft audiences who applauded his Jokes and stories, then assuredly there is something the matter with Kansas something that has never been the matter with her before. "Those who oppose direct nomina tion,! hprausB thev entail hot weather campaigning will find the illustration they want in tne campaign tnai Inr in Kansas today. For five succes sive days last week the thermometer stood at over 100 degrees, xesierany three thousand people uproariously rr.oteri Ttristow and Stubbs in the Auditorium at Topeka, and similar meetings were taking place all over Kansas. Imagine noonday meetings in New York in July! They have been holding them every day for two weeks na.t in Kansas' They have been speaking indoors and out. at chautau quas and on the street corners and from train platforms. When they have ceased talking they have been writing letters, as five full columns of letters on the campaign in one issue of the To peka Capital show. Kansas may not be bleeding now, but there is no doubt that she is perspiring. "All this activity, of course, is not confined to the progressives. Senator Curtis, Wagstaff. the opponent of Gov ernor Stubbs, and the six 'Rhode Island congressmen,' as they call those who voted for the Cannon rules and the Payne-Aldrich tariff, are fighting hard. Put clearly they are on the defensive. Their speeches are mostly made up of replies' and explanations. Somehow their claim to be the only real Repub licans in Kansas seems to create more amusement than resentment. Nor has their cause, by general consent, been ereatlv helped by the self-sacrncing act of Speaker Cannon, who faced the Kansas sun to place the stamp ot regu larity on their candidacies.

It has been truly said that the crowning glory of our" race is a luxur iant head of hair. It used to be thought that this was one of the blessings which the gods bestow capriciously, and it is only re cently that scientists have discovered that its beauty is dependent upon the absence of a minute germ which flour ishes in the hair follicles, where it de stroys the life of the hair. To restore this life and kill thi germa which cause the mischief is the mission of jsewbro's Merpicide. Herpicide surely kills the germs, and is the best hair dressing on the mar. ket.

The addition is to be used for manual training purposes. Charles F. Spencer, the contractor, commenced today the work of ex cavating for the new Van Buren school building. Sixteenth and Van Buren streets. The "101 Ranch Wild West" picture films are being shown at the airdome this week. They are said to be the best moving pictures that have been given in Topeka. All of the railroads entering Topeka report big rains along their lines in Kansas. The Rock Island and Union Pacific have been experiencing consid erable wire trouble. A large heavy plate galss window at the Rosser Brothers' drug store was dashed into small pieces this morning due to the falling of a heavy awning. The loss is covered by Insurance. S. H. Howard, a graduate of the Kansas State Normal, has been chosen at a salary of $1,100 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Principal C. H. Peterson of Sumner school. The city waterworks officials are happy today. Since the drouth the people of the city have used thousands of gallons of water every evening in the sprinkling of the lawns. Then it rained. There was no session of the court of Topeka today. Judge E. R. Simon, one of the candidates for county at torney, has been busy trying a case of his own before the people and is wait ing for the decision. Topeka sounded like an amusement park last night. Three big concert bands played In three parts of the city. It was such a quiet night that it was almost impossible to fail in the hear ing of one of the bands. All the candidates agree that the Idea of putting the primary election back into the cool spring time is a good one. Most of the voters always thought eo and perhaps the legislature will be convinced of it some time. City Jailer Al Hopkins is ill at his home, 109 EaBt Thirteenth street, a victim of the heat and stomach trou ble. Sergeant Frank Summers has been on the verge of collapse from similar trouble In the last few days. The farmers In Kansas will feel more like voting today.

An intercommunicating system with seven telephones will be installed in the high school and manual training school building. Four telephones will be maintained in those buildings by the Independent Telephone company. Many a prayer was answered to the farmers of Kansas when that big rain blew up last night. The drouth had become so general that the corn crop in parts' of the state was given up as one-third gone. This will give it new life. "This Is a stifling hole," said Charles Holliday of the reorganized school board in speaking of the board room. The board immediately instructed the engineer to furnish at least one fan for the comfort of the members of this body. Now that the primary campaign is finished and as soon as the returns are all in the county officers and employes will take up the subject of summer vacations; which has been delayed un til the outcome of the office scramble is learned. The deficit in the general revenue of the city treasury is now said to be 3, 000. However, .the city commis sioners differ in their ideas of the shortage. There is no fear that the employes and officers will not receive their pay every month. The employes of the Santa Fe shops have given out statements to the ef fect that they had not promised to vote for Wagstaff. Another pipe dream of the famous Dave Leahy has been proven false. It is a. good thing the campaign lasts no longer than it does or "Our Dave" would bring the world at an end in Kansas. Monday was "change-oft" day for the police force. Those who worked nights last month now take the day shift. In the changing everybody had to work long shifts, each side working half of the day Monday. It generally takes three days for the patrolmen to get adjusted to the change and they all sigh for the time when they will come under the eight hour law. Companies K and I of the Third battalion, United States government engineers, arrived in Topeka this morning from Big Springs, fifteen miles east of here, where they camped Monday. They are in camp today on the north side of the river. The two companies are on their way from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley, where the national encampment will be held, be ginning August. 15. YOAKUM SHIES GOOD CROPS. Rail Head Is Optimistic Over Middle West Outlook. New York, Aug. 2. B. F. Yoakum, president of the St. Ixmis San Fran cisco railroad, gave it as his belief on hiK return from a short western trip that the crop yields this year will about equal that of last year, despite dam age in tome sections. "Anxiety over rop reports from the southwestern states has greatly sub sided," he said, "on account of good rains. The Kansas wheat crop is esti mated at 67 million bushels against 87 million last year, but large crops of hay and oats probably will bring the total crap yield of that state up to last year's figures. Crops in Missouri are as good as last year and in the southwest ern part of the state exceptionally good. The oats crop Is estimated at 5 million bushels more than last year. "Cotton in Arkansas and Oklahoma is in good condition with from 15 to 20 per cent more acreage. The Okla homa corn crop has been damaged con siderably, but the wheat crop will be 25 per cent greater than last year. "'here will also be a splendid yield of hay and oats. Texas now expects a tetter crop than last year and a good crop of rice and corn." Collection for Stranded Woman. Kansas 'Sty, Mo., Aug. 2.

The buildings destroyed were Ryan's restaurant, the Brunswick Smoker, Stallman's harness shop, Wler's restaurant and Byerlys news stand. Buildings damaged were the Hedges Adams drug store and the Wells Fargo Express company. In surance varied, but on the entire amount there was about an average of 60 per cent. All of the buildings de stroyed were owned by the W. C. Ed wards estate. STANSFIELD'S UNUSUAL OFFER "It isn't often that I have faith enough In the medicine put up by other people to be willing to offer to refund the money if it does not cure," said Stanfield to a Topeka man who dropped into his store, "but I am glad to sell Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia on that basis.

Miss Karolyn B. Whittlesey has Is sued invitations for a diploma recital of Miss Ethel Alma Nelson Wednesday evening, August 3, at her studio, 109 East Eighth avenue, at 8 o'clock.

The upper floor offices and stores of the town need either to dismiss their tobacco chewing employes or provide them -vith a plentiful supply of cus pidors, judging by a disgusting occur rence on Kansas avenue yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Charles Allen Mills, dressed in an immaculate white street costume, came down town to do her shopping, and as she passed along the front of one of the west side buildings where the awning was up, she was given the shock of a tobacco shower bath from an upper window, splashing me snouiaer ana sleeve of her gown and Just missing her face.

I "looked around instinctively, and saw the lady of the sweet voice sitting on the settee next me with a baby in her arms and of 6 or 7 standing beside hen .The baby hud a big ping rose In her hand and the boy stood frowning at her. "Take the rose back, dear," said the sweet voice again. "You know we r.ever give things up when we can't give them up happily. You can't let little sister have the rose and be happy yourself so you must take It back." "But I don't want to take it back." "Yes,' dear, -you must. You know that's mother's rule. Mother wants you to be unselfish, but not unless you can be pleasant too. People who are un selfish and frown all the time aren't rice. Mother doesn't want that kind of a boy and the lady of the sweet voice twisted baby's unwilling fingers from the flower and gave it back to the boy. Wasn't she a wonderful mother to realize and try to -teach her children the big. big lesson that frowning self denial is of comparatively little value in this World that it's self denial plus a smile that counts. I think she must have had some pretty bitter experiences with the wrong kind of self denial to lay such stress on the right kind. Doubtless she had lived with one of those dour folk whoso unselfishness is harder to get along with than cheery folks selfishness. I ones knew a woman who was a very lad case of this type. She considered herself a Christian, but her Christian ity was only strong enough to attain the self denial without ever reaching to the smile. She was forever denying herself and looking dour about it.

Most nrobably those daz zling eyes you envy are the result of using a tonic to strengthen nd brighten the eyes. Get from your druggist one ounce of crystos and dissolve it in a pint of wa ter and you will have a perfect home made eye tonic. One or two drops in each eye will relieve inflammation, dullness, redness and soreness. It will not smart or burn. Many persons with weak eyesight find they can dispense witn eyeglasses al ter using this tonic dally a month or two. G. L. M. "Shampoo" is a word of Hin doo origin and means "to lather, rub and wash the head." When using can throx for shampooing, dissolve a teaspoon ful In a cup of hot water; pour on the head a little at a time and rub well Just as you would with an ordinary sham poo; then rinse the hair and scalp thor oughly with warm water. Canthrox makes an abundance of lather and will remove that fine scurf of which you complain, for It Is nothing more or less than dan druff. Don't use soap when shampooing, for it leaves the scalp hot and hard and causes streaks in the hair when drying When you use canthrox the hah dries quickly and is soft, bright, fluffy and not streaky. Osiris: Have you tried to preserve your youthful looks? Is your husband correct when he says you do not look as young as you should? If you want to keep your skin clear, fresh and velvety, you must take care of It. Use almozoin cream jelly both as a mas sage and face cream and your complexion will be fine and free from blemish. Get from your druggist one ounce of almozoin, dissolve it in one-half pint cold water; add two teaspoonfuls of glycerine; stir well and let stand over night. Then you have a cream that contains no oils or fats to make hair grow or cause the skin to become dark and greasy looking.

Garcia Prieto, the minister of foreign affairs, in an interview today, in which he recited the history of the nego tiations between Spain and the Vati can denied that the holy see had adopted a conciliatory attitude. He added: "The government asked only two things. First, the suppression of the convents and monasteries which entered Spain Illegally and second, that the pope should authorize the bishops to suppress or transform the establish ments unnecessary to the aid of the priests In their ministrations. "The government offered a year for the transformation which was desired by the secular clergy whose existence Is gravely compromised by the monks." Senor Prieto declared Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal secretary of stale, had adopted dilatory tactics from the first, alleging that the speech from the throne contained points against tho Catholic religion. "We protested our good faith and de sire to reach an agreement," said the minister, "when we enforced the decree of 1902, against which neither the Curia nor the Episcopate protested. Cardinal Merry Del Vol demanded that the de cree remained a dead letter, although the Vatican since that date granted numerous authorizations without the sanction of the Spanish government."

The Chinese self-government society of Canton re ceived today a letter from Chinese in habitants of San Francisco inclosing S 1,000 for the preliminary expenses of the propaganda now carried on by the society. In the letter the establish ment of a boycott on American goods as a reprisal against alleged griev ances of the Chinese at treatment in the detention sheds on Angel Island, San Francisco, is urged. The Cantonese society takes a sym pathetic attitude and has called a meeting to discuss the matter. Pekin, Aug. 2. Pekin was surprised this morning by the arrival., unher alded, of Prince Tsai Tao, uncle of the young emperor, whose long and extensive and recent tour through the United States and Europe caused con siderable criticism of the dynasty. Prince Tsai Tao wished to extend his stay in Europe, but was ordered to return uietly to Pekin, the measure being evidently Intended to prevent any anti-dynastic incidents, against which the government has of late tak en unusual precaution. In spite, however, of the criticisms of the extravagant peregrinations, Prince Tsai-Hsun, a brother of the re gent, and several less exalted mem bers of the imperial family will sail ror the United States August 24. nom Inally to study naval methods in Amer ica. though any increase in the Chinese fleet is not expected for many years.

American Cruisers at Chainulpo. Seoul. Aug. 2. The cruisers Charleston and New Orleans, under command of Rear Admiral John Hub bard arrived at Chamulpo today. The admiral and his staff were entertain ed at the American consulate at Seoul tonight. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 2. No state ment was forthcoming from official quarters here today regarding the meeting between Senator Winthrop Murray Crane and Secretary of the In terior Ballinger in Minneapolis yesterday. When It was suggested to the White House officers that Senator Crane may have felt called on. in order to bring about party harmony, to request the secretary of the interior to resign, the only answer was that Senator Crane would have to be asked about that phase of the matter. When Senator Crane came to see President Taft last Friday an attempt was made to keep his visit secret. Secretary Norton was plainly worried when he found that Senator Crane s presence in Beverly had been detected. The senator him self had made secrecy a condition of his coming. It is known that Senator Crane was sent for to go on an important mis sion for the president to Seattle. The meeting with Secretary Ballinger at Minneapolis suggests a modification of the original plans and justifies the an nouncement which followed the inter view here that Senator Crane might not go all the way to the coast. Secretary Norton admitted there was more to Senator Crane's mission than had appeared in the newspapers. It was said that Mr. Crane's visit to the president was instigated more by cer tain Darty leaders. Including the sec retary to the president, than by Presi dent Taft himself. The president has received many let ters sugseatin that Secretary Baiimger, because of attacks made on him was t roving an embarrassment in the mak ing or plans for the coming congres- sional campaign. Mr. Taft having stood by Secretary Ballinger' through all his troubles and still believing in him, has refused to heed these complaints. They have had their effect on others connect ed with the administration and ihe party, however, and it is reported here that certain of the leaders may have U-ken it on themselves to handle the sitiuation. Secretary Ballinger remains to be reckoned with, however. He has re peatedly declared that he would not re sign and among his friends there Is a strong belief that he will not resign unless directly asked to do- so by tne president. This, it is declared here, the president will not do. Following Senator Crimes Interview with the president, the report spread -that it had to do mainly with Mr. Bal linger and thet a trip through the west to survey general political conditions would be an adjunct to the principal mission. The idea that Senator Crar.e was to meet and deal with Secretary Ballinger was so etmngiy -Jenied by Secretary Not ton that the report finally came to be regarded as erroneous and was so treated here until yesterday's meeting in Minneapolis, which seemed to throw a different light on the situa tion. The president played golf this morn ing. His engagements for this after l oon include talks with General Leon ard Wood, Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island and Mr. DeBarrlo, a prominent resident of Panama. Alfonso Visits Freneh President. Paris, Aug. 2. King Alfonso of Spain and Queen Victoria, who are stopping here n route to England, were the guests of President Fallieres at luncheon at Ramboulllet today.

Iowa Stalwarts Will, Enter Convention With Chips on Shoulders. Des Moines, la., Aug. 2, A meeting potent wit hpossibllities of exciting ex velopments at the Republican state convention was held at the Coliseum to day by a number of standpat leaders. It was said to be the purpose of the conference to prepare a plank endors ing President Taft in no uncertain terms as well as the legislation passed during the last session of congress. Frank D. Jackson, president of the Iowa Taft club, wast. chosen chairman of the meeting. Others present were former Congressman Looey and Hep burn and George D. Perkins, who was defeated by Cummins for the Repub lican gubernatorial nomination four years ago. The purpose of Introducing the flshting plank mentioned is to draw the line sharply; between the pro gressives and the stalwarts. The pro gressives have a majority of delegates, amply sufficient to defeat such a plank in convention. The resolutions committee, it seems certain as the result of the conference latt night at which Joe Lane declined t represent th 3 Second district George M. Curtis,, a progressive being put for ward as the prolable choice, will st-md ix progressives to five stalwarts. The Taft plank, unless the program changes fctfore tomorrow will therefrre probably come before the committee embudied in a minority report. "When the vote is counted on this plank, the White House will be able to locate its friends if nothing else is accomplished," declared a conservative 1t legate. Feeling runs high among the dele gates and politicians who poured into the city on every train today. The lobbies were crowded and -on every street corner, the one subject of dis cussion was. the convention tomorrow.

The pro gressive leaders realize the depth of the stand pat resentment and are will ing to go to some length to secure harmony. There are many among them who would like to see uJatform modeled atter tne Indiana pronoun ciamento, but It is doubtful if this would suit Senator Cummins. Among the senator's close friends today it was declared that the endorsement of the Iowa progressive delegation must be clear cut. To be it can not make many concessions to the so-called "regulars" even If augmented discord results. Senator Dolliver was among the day's arrivals.

s THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1910. LOOK TO THE GIRL The Scotland Yard Officers Are Depending Upon Miss Leneve For Information to Complete the Case Against Crippen. THINK HER INNOCENT. They Need Proof That Dead Body Was Mrs. Crippen. On This They Hope She Can Throw Some Light. Quebec, Aug. 2. Ethel Clare Le neve, who ga-e up home and friends for love of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen and now finds herself sharing with him the odium of a murder charge, is the central figure in the police end of the tragedy. Crippen, taciturn and seeming to a considerable extent to have recovered his composure, has volunteered nothing since his arraign ment yesterday which might help the police in solving the mystery surround ing the disappearance of his wife, Belle Elmore, the American actress. It is expected that Crippen and Miss Leneve will be returned to England for Tlie First Wife trial at the expiration of the If.-days grace provided by the extradition laws of Canada. In the meantime the de tectives would liketo- gather from the accused additional evidence that would facilitate tl-e tubsequei.i procedure. Unless present signs fail,"they will re ceive no help in this line from Dr. Crippen. r "Crippen is no fool," said Inspector Dew and no one Questioned his opinion. Accordingly, it is generally believed that the police are resting their hopes on Miss Leneve. If she does not pos sess the key. to the mystery, they think she can at least aid them materially in a. reconstruction of the circumstances leading up to the disappearance of Belle Elmore. It is known that Mrs. Crippen was jealous of her husband's typist and the police have no doubt that Miss Leneve was aware of this Jealousy. They will not use any "third degree" methods in interviewing Miss Leneve, but more subtle, influences al ready are at work. Treated With Kindness. The girr prisoner is being treated with the greatest consideration. She showed the effect of this today, ap pearing to be much better in body and In mind than on yesterday when, fol lowing the collapse after her arrest, she was considered too ill to appear in court. Miss Leneve has never been placed In a cell here. She has been kept in the room of one of the women employes of the provincial jail and has been allowed occasional outdoor exer cise. The attitude toward her of the police is sympathetic. Inspector Dew has repeatedly said that he believed the girl was innocent of any knowledge of wrong doing. She has been visited by other women who have treated her most kindly. At the same time Miss Leneve is being bom barded with cablegrams from mem bers of her family in London, urging her to tell all she knows. The pres sure of friendliness is being exerted on her. while there is no prospect that she will come in contact with Dr. Crippen or even see him for a long time. The purpose in all this is obvi ous when it is considered that so far as is generally known Scotland Yard has been unable to identify the dis membered body found in the cellar of the Crippen home in London. The police case is believed not to be com plete. Both Slept Well. Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve slept last night, the sleep of complete ex haustion following the ordeal of the preceding hours. Crippen and the girl now face two weeks or more of monotonous waiting. There will be no more legal proceedings in the case until -August 8, when they will have another purely formal appearance In court to give them a last opportunity of demanding a writ of habeas corpus or any other legal relief to which they may feel entitled. Unless they change their expressed Intention neither will apply for writs or Interfere in any way with the meth ods adopted by the police to get them hack to England. So far as the province of Quebec is concerned legal proceedings are prac tically closed. The official documents regarding the arrest of the couple and their interrogation by Judges Lange- lier and Angers of the court of special sessions were forwarded last night to Ottawa for the signature of the gover nor general. The- color Is beginning to return to Miss Leneve's cheeks and this morning the matron at the Jail hospital said she looked a trifle less forlorn than when she was taken there yesterday afternoon from the house of Chief of Detectives McCarthy. Miss Leneve, who left the Montrose in garments loaned to her by the ship s stewardess. was today supplied with a neat white dress, which added to the Improvement m ner appearance. MYSTERY DEEPENS. Circumstances Point to Other Deaths in Dr. Crippen 'a Household. New York, Aug. 2. The deeper In vestigation into the past of Dr. Haw ley Harvey Crippen, who is charged with the murder of his wife at their London home, reveal a life of mystery. Dr Crippen's first wife died unde mysterious conditions 18 years ago, Apoplexy and paralysis were given as the cause of death, which occurred soon after the birth of a child. Neigh bors were suspicious, but there were not sufficient grounds for an investiga tion, and Mrs. Crippen's body was buried January 26, 1892, in Mt. Olive cemetery. William Skewes Son were the undertakers in charge of the funeral at Salt Lake City, Utah. ONE MORE MEMBER. Colonel Roosevelt Initiates Colonel Harvey In the Ananias Club. New York. Aug. 2. -Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt has added another dis tinguished member to the Ananias club in the person of Colonel George Harvey, editor of the North American Review. The initiationt took place in the of fice of the Outlook, of which Colonel Roosevelt is contributing editor, ana the new member, while not actually present, was put through with mucn vim and considerable bounce. While Colonel Roosevelt did not use the "shorter and uglier word," in con nection with Colonel Harvey, his lan- of Dr. Crippen. guage was distinctly blunt and plain. The reopening of the club, which was closed just prior to Mr. Roosevelt's departure for Africa, was brought about through an article in the August number of the North American Re view entitled "Is Roosevelt an asset ot a liability?" and which was signed "The Editor." In a paragraph at the top of page 151 this sentence occurs: "But re cently Roosevelt, the man, declared that if a national election were to be held next November he undoubtedly would be the Republican candidate and would win." When Colonel Roosevelt saw this his eyes snapped and his teeth clicked as he almost shouted: "That is a simple falsehood; I have never said anything like that." It was pointed out to Colonel Roose velt that Colonel Harvey evidently meant to convey the impression that he would be forced to accept the nomination. By this time Colonel Roosevelt appeared extremely angry; and, again repeating that he had never made the statement attributed to him, made a rush for the waiting elevator. "It may be unseemly for me to en gage with Mr. Roosevelt in a contro versy involving a question of veracity. That which I wrote, of course, is true," said Colone.1 George Harvey at his home at Deal Lake, N. J., last night. WANTED TO BE COTTON KING. That Was the Secret of Wlder's Down fall, It Is Said. New York. Aug. 2. According to friends of Erwin G. Wider, who is charged with having taken $680,000 from the Russo-Chinese bank here, the former cashier many years ago con ceived a scheme for becoming a "cotton king," by shrewd market moves. It was in an attempt to carry out this plan a few months ago they say, that he was overwhelmed. Wider was short of cotton, they declare, all the time that Patten and his associates were advancing the price. The men advising Wider induced him to keep on turning over securities by telling him that with Just a little more up they would be able to break Patten's pool and he would be the greatest man in the street. The report that Wider secreted stolen securities or the money he realized on them is ei-phatically denied by his counsel. "If he ever had $100,000," said his law yer, "he would not have kept it long. As a fact, he received practically no benefit from the securities he took. Wall street with Its voracious maw swallowed them all." CORN REPORTS ARE SANGUINE. Damage by Drouth and Hot Winds Exaggerated, It Is Said. Reports received today by I. D. Gra ham of the Kansas Farmer, from all parts of Kansas show that previous re ports of excessive damage to the corn crop on account of drought and hot winds have been exaggerated. With the exception of Doniphan county, corn in the northeastern por tion of the state is apparently in good condition. In the central portion of the -tate crops have suffered in Os borne county, although in the sur rounding counties conditions are not alarming. Even in the extreme west ern portion the damage is not esti mated at more than 15 or 20 per cent. The early corn has not suffered as se verely as the corn of later planting. Wife Really, George.

Eugene B. Stotts has charge of the publicity department and is furnishing news each week to the hundreds of papers of the state. The friendly at titude towards the fair which is being taken by the press is evinced by the amount of space which is being devot ed to state fair news and announce ments. While particular attention is being paid to the exhibits, and indications point to excellent displays in all de partments, the amusement features are not being neglected. There will be "something doing" all the time. Among the special attractions will be the flights of airships. A contract has been made with Strobel, the dirig ible balloonist, for flights daily, and it is possible that there will be one or more bird-ships of a different char acter. William Jaenicke, 300 Polk street, expects to have his biplane completed by fair time and may give a demonstration then. An interesting feature of the flights of the Strobel airship will be the il lumination of the balloon at night, by ut least one. powerful searchlight. This is said to produce aw Interesting and weird effect. A searchlight will toe placed on either the new stock pavilion or the grandstand or possibly both. According to he Strobel contract it will be positively necessary for-the aeronaut to encircle the state house dome on Sunday afternoon, September 11. ultimately landing at the starting point. Secretary Cook says he will have seme surprises in the way of sensa tional amusement features. The con cessions granted are numerous and the hbows alor.g the "Midway" 1 will be clean ones. An effort has been made to eliminate the cheap fate sideshows which characterized the fair last year. An exhibition just announced is that of W. H. Blush of Rossville. who. will have a dis-'--- of household and field utensils, clothing, and all types of fire arms, of the Revolutionary war period. DREAMS OF CLEARING HOUSE. President O'Neil of Western League "Seems to Have Right Hunch." From Chicago comes the following dream of Tip O'Neill, president of the Western League: Tip's theory is that there should be a general clearing house for baseball players in Chicago. Now Frank Isbell out in Wichita may have a third base man whom he doesn't think particular ly well of. He may be a bit too slow for the Western League. So Issy makes up hia mind to dispose of the player. At tha same time there Is a manager down south who would like to have that very third baseman. In fact, the Southern manager is tearing his hair eiid lying awake at nights because he can't g3t a. third baseman. You see, this Southern manager doesn't know that Isbell is going to diepose of this third baseman. But if there was a baseball clearing house he would. For 48 hours before Isbell disposed of his third baseman by firing him he would notify the clearing house thai he wanted to dispose of the man. And before that Southern manager began to tear his hair and worry about losing the penn&nt because he could not find a third baseman he would wlr this clearing house and find out wheth er there was a third baseman at lib erty. And there you are.' The clearing house, -would notify Frank Isbell that a man in the south wanted a third baseman, j; The clearing house would notify the southern manager that Frank Isbell had a third baseman whom he could secure. Then Isbell and the southern man ager could get together and make the trade. The exchange would have served its purpose. It would have In troduced a purchaser to a seller. For which it would collect a fee, Tip seerr.s to have the right hunch. There is seldom a week passes that some manager of the Western league does not wire Tip and ask where a player can be secured. Injuries have put an outfielder out -of commission and a substitute Is needed forthwith. If Tip hc-oens to know where one can be obtained all good and well. If he -doesn't, the team is up against it. The same thing holds good in every other miner league. That is one side of the stor;-. There is scarcely a day thai some club does not release a player. A pitcher, a catcher or. an in or out fielder. Sometimes a man still has a lot of baseball in him. He doesn't know where to secure another Jobr But he would if there was such-' an -exchange. He could spend the price. of a telegram and instantly be placed in communica- Hon with a manager who needed him, It wnnM i i Often times a manager carries a player .,io,ci to De too vaiuaoie to re lease, but at the same time this player would be sold 1 ,a fair price could be secured.

New YorkJ Aug.' 2.- The trip of the Atlantic transport line steamship Minnewaska from London, Just ended at this port, was enlivened by a horse show, the first of its kind ever held upon the sea. The vessel was carry ing a consignment of very fine horses including some which will be exhibit ed at the International Horse Show in Chicago. There were 226 horses on the Min newaska. The owners of nearly all the animals were passengers and the idea of holding a horse show came about when these men got together to talk horse. The idea took hold at once and the affair was held between decks on Friday. A ring was made with a short run to exhibit the gait of the entries. The judge was Edwin Hobson, an Illinois horseman. The horse owners on board included Samuel Bell and William Bell, of Wooster, O.; Worth Dunham of Wayne, III.; J. Hamilton and Mr. Hawthorn, Canada; E. Hobson, Clif ton, 111.; W. V. Pewis, Wayne, 111.; W. E. Pritchard, Ottawa, Canada, and J. G. Truman of Bushnell. HI. Most noted of the horses aboard the Minnewaska was Shelford Pride, a winner of many prizes, owned by j. G. Truman. Truman brought over forty shires, among the noted shire gelding Victor, which also is to be exhibited at the Chicago horse show. MINERS TO STAY IDLE.

President of Elgin Board of Trade Sees Big Increase. Chicago, Aug. 2. Consumers who are looking for a drop in the prices of some of the r.'icessities of life will not get any drop on butter, according to John Newman, president of the Elgin Board of Trade. After the board had increas ed the '.'rice a cent a pound Monday, Mr. Newman said it was his opinion that even higher prices were coming before winter. i "Butter will be at prices to exceed anything In the last few years before the winter is well started." said Mr. Newman. "The present dry weather is the caue of '.his prospect. The talk of 50 cent butter is ridiculous however." The price "was advanced from 27 to 28 cents by the Elgin board. Many of the members reported that pastures in their regions were dry and worthless and that farmers had already begun to give their cows feed that should be saved for winter. Wages Advanced. Franklin, N. H.; Aug. 2. The wagns of thousands of paper mill workers in New Hampshire, have been advanced an average of 5 per cent by the Inter national Paper company.

Fish Kept Prisoner in Radius of 75 Feet Appears None the Worse.. Wlnsted. Conn., Aug. 2. Hey, you fishermen, can you beat this? Five years ago Moses G. Butler of West Cornwall, while fishing in cream Hill lake. In that town, rested his pole across the bow of the boat to light his pipe of tobacco. In the twinkling a large fish seized the bait and the pole disappeared. Butler spent several days with grap pling .hooks searching for the missing pole and line, but no trace of it could be found. Thursday while Attorney John Patterscn, W. D. Bosler, E. D. Cartwright and W. H. Tully were fish ing on the same lake, Patterson had a bite, and the reel sped out some 60 yards of line. The battle between men and fish lasted half an hour, and the bass, which weighed six and one-half pounds, was landed with a net. A hook was found fastened through the roof of the fish's mouth, attached to a second line. The line was down in the water, and at the end was a pole with a reel attached, which Cart wright readily recognized as the pole which Butler had lost five years ago. The bass had lived within the radius of the lenth of the line, some 75 feet, and appeared none the worse for carry ing the burden of hook, line and the pole. The pole, reel and line are In a remarkably good state of preserva tion LIGHTNING DESTROYS BARN. Models of Inventions and Machinery Are Destroyed. The barn of B. H.

WHEAT A big in crease in the European visible supply, bet ter crop reports from France and heavy shipments from Russia were among the foreign influences that weighed on the wheat market today. ag receipts, tine weather and a decline in corn stood as domestic favvors even more forceful against the price of the cereal. An aver age yield of 20 bushels to the acre in Illi nois, according to figures from 600 sta tions, formed a further bearish argument. In consequence, there was quite general selling by longs. The market opened c to c lower. September started Vi'Sic to c down at $1.02 to 31.0214 and fell to 31-01. Indications of a 45 million bushel crop in Illinois compared with 31 million bushels last year, caused a sharp break, as losses by hessian fly this season were suppoed to be large. Profit taking reulted In an upturn, but the close was weak with September at $1.00 to 31.00, a .net loss of 11c to lc. CORN Rains in Kansas made selling of corn popular. Initial quotations were at a decline of 6c to lc. The start in the September option was at 62c to 63a, a drop of c to lVc and the descent was continued to 6214c. There was good buying at the decline but the close was easy at 6214c to 62c a net loss of 114c to lc. OATS Commission houses attacked oats becuse of the wekness of other grin. Sep tember opened 1414c to 14c lower at 36c to 37 c and touched 36c. PROVISIONS A firmer tone to the hog market caused shorts to cover In the provision pit. First sales were 6c to 20c higher with the September delivery at 321.50 for pork; 311.6o to $11.5714 for lard and 311-40 to 3114714 for ribs. RYE Cash: 7714c September, 76c; De cember, 7679c.

T., Aug. 2 How a sUight uf hand trick unlocked the gates of the county Jail here and accomplish ed the escape of a prisoner became known today with thfc arrest in New York of Erhardt Malck, wanted by the Metuchen authorities as a fugitive from justice. Maick had served about half of a long term for burglary when he took French leave. Nobody was able to ex plain just how he got away until he told the story of his escape to the theriff when rearrested in New York. He said that he had been a favorite with the keepers because they enjoyed his ready wit and he often entertained them with parlor magic and sleight of hand tricks. On the day of his escape, he said, he grot into conversation with one of the keepers and offered to show the man a i.ew trtk. While the keeper was watch lnfg the swift motion of Maick's hands, the prisoner unhooked the bunch of keys from the warden's belt, removed two of them and returned the bunch to ns place without belns; detected. An hour or two later an opportunlr;,- to uce the keys offered Itself and the prisoner made his way out and escaped to New York. He will finish his term in a soli tary cell and the keepers will not be allowed to consult him for instructions in parlor magic Wants Farmer Boy Police. New York, Aug. 2. The commission er of police of this city wants farmer boys on the force. Accordingly what is known as the mental test of policemen will be made less severe. It was ex plained in making the announcement that this does not mean that farmers are any less intelligent than any one else, but merely that the catch ques tions on city streets heretofore asked will be eliminated in the case of candi dates from out of town. The commis sioner admitted with a smile that some of his new policemen may get lost on post, but he suggested that they might take maps with them. CHICAGO SAIXJONS DECREASE.

Chicago million aires were taken by surprise when Frank W. Jones, president of the Il linois tax reform league, filed with the board of review a statement charging that $200,000,000 of stocks in foreign corporations owned by cit izens of Cook county have been con cealed from the assessors and review ers and have not been assessed. It is held by lawyers for stockholders that stock in foreign corporation is not subject to taxes in Illinois, but the league says it is. The communication gives the names of the owners, the name of the com panies in which they are said to hold stock, and the par value of the securi ties. Altogether there are seventy men in the league's list, which is headed by the names of J. Ogden Ar mour and Edward Morris. According to Mr. Jones, some of these men have not been assessed on anything like the amount of assessable personal property owned by them for the period beginning in 1905. and he claims that $15 million could be add ed to the revenue of the county if the legal penalty should be added. The association gave notice to the board of review of its intention to file with the circuit court of Cook county mandamus proceedings to comDel that body to assess the stock of for eign corporations held by residents of tnis county. In behalf of the board of rmrlsw Fred W. Upham said that the board fixed the taxes as the evidence it had in its possession would warrant. The list submitted bv the Tax Ttn- form league gives the following hold ings for the richest men named. Kdward Morris, $39,919,700. J. Ogden Armour, $32,119,700. Joy Morton. $6,600,000. Arthur Meeker, $5,370,000. John J. Mitchell, $4,020,000. Louis F. Swift, $5,129,000. E. F. Swift, $5,036,000. Other men are listed as owninsr foreign corporation stock valued from $4,000,000 down to $250,000. POSSE PURSrES WINFIELD MAN. Kansan Gashes Two and Escapes, Fol lowed by Officers. Winflold.

ActlonRegarding ClerkThonght to Foretoken Changes. FINANCE REPORT MADE Estimated Expenses for Year Are Increased $18,000. Suggested Levy of 5.8 Mills Is Deferred One Week. President S. A. Swendson. Vice president G. H. Smith. Clerk W. J. Stagg. These are the officials of the reor ganized school board. The new mem bers are: Charles Holliday, Second ward; A. V. Lindell, Third ward; T. F.

Smith, president and vice president of the board, respectively, are known to be "insurgent" in sympathy, and Chas. Holliday, Sam Houston, A. V. Lindell and Dr. W. S. McGee were elected on the "insurgent" ticket, it is conceded that there will be some changes in sys tem in the next few months. The new members showed their in dependence Monday night when they voted to replace the clerk of the hnarfl J. E. Stewart, who has served for eleven years in that capacity, by W. J. Stagg. a new system of bookkeeping will be instituted, and .committee chairmen will be relieved of much of the work previously required. E. H. Anderson, chairman of the finance committee of the old board, read a detailed report of the state of the finances of the board from 1905 to the present time. Outstanding Warrants Reduced. The report shows that outstanding warrants have been reduced to S17.- 667.69, including S13.fiKK.4S in the general fund, and $4,022.27 In the Duuaing fund. This places the figure lower than it has been in years, a total of $61,674.89 in warrants having been paid off since July 1, 1909. Of this amount $34,451.79 was paid in July, On July 31 the cash available in the general fund was $10,350.09, which to gether with unpaid available taxes makes a total in the fund of $16, 417.68. In the building fund there was cash on hand. $5,521.77, witnj unpaid avail able taxes amounting to $775.86, mak ing a total of $6,297. The interest fund amounted to $4, 233.333 with $646.35 in unpaid avail able tax, making a total of $4,779.68. "It will be observed from this re port." commented Mr. Anderson, "that we have checkedout the funds closely especially in the general fund account We believed it to be good business to no tnis, and thus stop the interest on every dollar possible, notwithstanding that as a result it will be necessary to stamp warrants 'unpaid' until the first payment of taxes for- 1910." Mr. Anderson s report recommended that the tax levy remain the same for the ensuing year as it has been in the last year 5.8 mills. With a total as sessed value of property of $49,281, S41 it will mean that the board will have $238,266.03 for all purposes. Action on Levy Deferred.

A naval board headed by Rear Admiral Thomas today began the task at the local navy yard of passing on the fate of three cruisers which but a few years ago, "were the undisputed lead ers in their classes. The vessels are the armored cruis ers Brooklyn and the protected Col umbia and Minneapolis, built as the commerce destroyers of the navy.

AENEMIC CLOTHING PASSES. Beau Brumniel of the Fall Will Narrow of Shoulder. Be Chicago, Aug. 2. Well tailored men of the coming fall will be narrow of shoulder and broad of chest, and the present type of wide shouldered but aenemic "clothing store athlete," will have vanished from the realm of the elite. Exhibits at the fashion show, which opened formally today at the Coliseum, presaged the passing of the artificial wide shoulder and bore evidence that superfluous cloth in the future will be lavished on tne cnest. The overcoat of "the man who knows," will be loose and baggy. The latest thing In keep-warm clothing is called a "great coat." Any size will fit anyone fairly well, but is guaran teed not to fit any individual perfectly. The coat will bear the ulster collar of last winter, only more so. The "straight front," close fitting collar has been placed on the black list and its most favored successor is one that looks somewhat like the Elizabethan ruff. Flowing ties have come into their own. Their only rival for popular favor is a parti-colored tie, which dis plays an amazing set of contrasts when knotted four in hand. i The narrow shouldered business suit, I in addition to its burly chest, will be remarkable for the exceeding close ness of Its fit around the hips. Peg top trousers, gripping the shoe tops tightly, will be worn as the accom panying nether garments. Bedridden Woman Disappears. New Tork, Aug. 2.
