RIPLEY TOSTUBBS Santa Fe President Answers Speech of Kansas Governor. Asks W. R. S. Pointed Questions on Percentage Holdings. PHYSICAL VALUATION Mr. Ripley Says He Hoes Not Object to This Move. Prejudice Employees Against Their ltailroad Company. In answer to the speech against the raise of railroad rates given by Governor Stubbs in Topeka not long ago, President Ripley of the Atchi son, Topeka Santa Fe, gives an open letter in the columns of the State Journal thia evening. The letter in full follows: On the Line in Colorado, October 1, 1310. Hon. W. R. Stubbs, Governor of Kan sas, Topeka, Kan.: My Dear Governor: I regret very much that I have not had the op portunity before this of carefully read ing the speech which you delivered at your conference held in Topeka Thursday of last week. Aa I am the president of a railway company having three thousand miles of rails within the state of Kansas. 1 am pleased to know that "you would like to have the east and eastern news papers understand that you do not want to tear up the tracks of the rail road companies." Assurances of thia kind from the governor of the state naturally will make those who have investments in the railways feels more secure. As a railway official who has more than a passing interest in one of the great railways of the country, I anj gratified to learn from your speech "that you want to build the rails up." As you participated financially in the '"building up" of ouite a few miles of western railways, I knew before your i speech was delivered that you coma not take a position at variance with that which you maintained before you were drawn into the seething vortex of a political maelstrom. I further note that in addition to placing yourself straight before "the east and eastern newspapers" as to your unwillingness to participate in the tearing up of tracks, "and your unwillingness to join in building up" the railroads of the west that you are willing, in fact, "want to give the rail roads a chance to make reasonable and just returns upon their invest ment." I am glad to learn that this is your position, as it certainly must make the investors in railway proper ties feel especially comfortable to know that 'you as governor of Kansas place your stamp of approval on the new doctrine that an investor is en titled to a reasonabla and just re turn upon his investment. You, of course, do not say what you would consider a just and reasonable return to an investor. I would take It that you would be willing to ac cord a friend who had hi3 money in vested in Santa Fe holdings the same rate of interest that you have received on your holdings of Lawrence National bank stock, at least, it would seem in fairness to your friend that such would be your position. For a period covering fifteen years your friend, the investor in Santa Fe holdings, has re ceived an average return per annum on his investment of less than 5 per cent. Possibly your friend with the Santa Fe holdings would like to know if you have not received a much greater return per annum on your holdings of Lawrence bank stock. Do you as governor of Kansas and as a friend of the friend who owns the Santa Fe holdings, feel that he has received more than a just ;Vnd reason able return on his investment? learnings -Have Xot Keen Lar;je. During my tenure of office as presi dent of the Santa Fet efforts have been made in the direction of rebuild ing, in a sense re-creating the Santa Ft! and I am reasonably sure that you as a friend and as Go-ernor of Kan sas will proclaim to the people that the Santa Fe is if anything, some what above the average; but with all of the improvements requiring ex penditures of millions upon millions of dollars. I have always kept in mind the return which the investors in our properties were entitled: can it he said that the investor has received that return which you as an investor Would expect. The earnings of the Santa Fe for the period of fifteen years during which I have had jurisdiction over It, have been on its capitalization about 4.75 per cent; during the last ten years the earnings on capitaliza tion have been less than 6 per cent. Toil will perhaps concede and possibly proclaim as Governor of Kansas that the Santa Fe has been conducted not only on business principles but also with due regard to the convenience and comfort of the public, and fur thermore, I have confidence enough in vour fairness to believe that you will proclaim that the Santa Fe's capitaliza tion does not represent the value of Its property. You will, I am reason ably confident, say as a contractor and builder of railroads, though possibly vou would not proclaim it as Governor iif Kansas, that the Santa Fe's cap italization would not he sufficient to reproduce its over 10.000 miles of rail way. We are, therefore, down to that portion of your speech where you pro claim so vehemently that the public demands nothing short of a bona fide valuation of all railroads. You seek. Jn common with others, to make this the rock upon which the people must pplit with the railroads; it is to this particular feature of your speech that T have to say that as the President of the Santa Fe I have no objection to an appraisement of it? property by any fair-minded body of experts that the Government may select, because I know that such a body would find the value of Santa Fe property to be in excels of its capitalization. Also I am verv ''"re. that, (despite a few con spicuous instances of over capitaliza tion) it would be found that the rail roads of the country as a whole are under rather than over capitalized. But what I want to know is what c-ood is to be accomplished by such Valuation' Nobody who knows any thing of the country's business and (Continued on Page Six.) REV. IRA G. MAIiLORY MISSING.

He will go under the knife with temperature and pulse normal and with physical and mental resist ance unimpaired by the malady. Every indication is hopeful that there is not the least ground for alarm." Senator La Follette passed a restful night at the hospital. Mrs. La Follette and Drs. Fox, Kenan and Hooper of Madison. Wis., were with him until the staff physicians came to prepare for the operation. Senator La Follette said he had no misgivings as to the outcome. 'I can not set a time when the senator may be pronounced out of danger, but there is no modification to be made of previous statement that he will be out in three weeks. "The appendix is not affected and in general there is no occasion for alarm. "The gall stones removed were small.'' said Dr. Fox. Senator LaFollette began to rally from the ether while being removed to his room. Dr. Fox asked: "How are you feel ing. Bob?" "Sore but bully," replied the sen ator. This was but a few minutes after the operation. When he arrived at bis room be asked for Mrs. LaFollette, and she went to him at once. She remained but a few minutes.

Saves Woman and Three Children From a Runaway. Winona, Minn., Oct. 4. Congress man James A. Tawney, played the role of a hero and saved a woman and her three children from almost cer tain death behind a runaway horse. In doing so, however, he came in con tact with a barb wire fence and now his face and hands are done up in bandages. Mr. and Mrs. Tawney were guests in the automobile of a friend and had spent the afternoon on the river road. A woman with three children in a car riage signalled to the automobilists to stop. The car was brought to a halt, and Mr. Tawney stepped out to as sist in leading the horse past the woman and her children remaining in the carriage. Hardly had Tawney seized the reins at the horse's head before the animal plunged up the hill, dragging the con gressman and the bugry after him. Tawney clung tightly and frantically sought to bring the horse to a stop. He was unsuccessful, however, and it dashed past the automobile and to the other side of the road into a barb wire fence. Mr. Tawney got the full force of the impact with the fence. Weather Indications. Chicago. Oct. 4. Forecast Kansas Generally fair tonight and Wednesday. BAD BOY BADDERS Secretary of Commercial Club Arrested Today. Hasn't Paid a License on Club Pool Tables. NOT A JOKE EITHER. Collector Mattingly Says That He Means It. Intends to Make AH the Clubs Pay! George Badders, secretary of the Commercial club, was arrested at the rooms of the club at noon, today on a charge of having failed to pay license on pool tables used in the club rooms. The complaint was filed by George Mattingly, city license collector, who is of the opinion that there has been a tendency in various sources to escape payment of pool hall license. He is in vestigating other cases similar to that of Badders and claims he will file other complaints unless ail licenses are paid. The Commercial club has been run ning a billiard and pool hall in the club room for several months, but no license has ever been paid. A charge is made for the use of the club room tables and Mattingly feels that the city is not receiving the revenue it should from such places. There are four tables in the Com mercial club rooms. Under the revised city ordinance, the city is entitled to $9 a year revenue from each table, pay able semi-annually. Badders left this afternoon for Grand Rapids and arrangements were made to continue the case until his return. Doesn't Consider it a. Joke. "It isn't the little matter of paying a license that is worrying the Commer cial club' said George Badders, secre tary of the Commercial club this after noon. "What hurts us is the fact that several of the business men are kicking because we run this amusement in con nection with the club. I went to prac tically every pool hall in the city be fore we established this pool room and asked the owners if they would object to the Commercial club running pool and billiards in connection with their other rooms. They stated that they thought it would create interest in the game and would help them eventually. I know that several men have learned to play pool here and have dropped in different halls since. "There are any number of clubs in the city running pool and billiard tables and they are not paying a li cense of any kind. We will investi gate the matter before we pay any license." City License Collector Mattingly says that a license will be charged to every owner of a pool or billiard table in the city. "If a person keeps the tables in their private home it means a license," said the collector. WOMEN IN A ROW. Suffragettes and Suffragists of Mil waukee Up in Arms. Milwaukee, Wis.. Oct. 4. There is a row on between the suffragettes and the suffragists in Milwaukee. "Milwaukee suffragists do not ap prove of militant English methods, and if Miss Wagner distributes circulars on the streets she will do so without authority from us and at the peril of losing our support," declares the board of directors of the Milwaukee Woman Suffragist league. "I don't care if members of the league don't help me advertise the meeting. I'll do it alone, if necessary. Any opposition to modern methods is all nonsense," says Miss Mary Swain Wagner, who wants to use British mili tant methods to advertise the meeting at which Mrs. Philip Snowden, the English suffragette, will speak. START NIGHT SCHOOL. One Will Be Opened in Harrison Building. A night school will be opened at the Harrison school building in the near fu ture. Definite arrangements for the run ning of the school will be made by Super intendent L. D. Whirttemore and the teachers' committee of the board of ed ucation. The school is primarily for the purpose of giving foreigners in the city an op portunity to gain an understanding of the Knglisli language. The plan is to hold sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Fri day evenings of each week. Teachers in the school will receive a salary of a dol lar an hour for their services and the principal of the school three dollars an hour. The board Monday evening adopted a resolution presented by the teachers' com mittee to the effect that W. H. Orieder be appointed principal, and C. M. Morrow teacher in the new school. For months I. Gilberg and othiers have been working for a night school which will enable foreigners in the city to be come good citizens. The question has come before the board several times be fore but last night is the first time that definite action was taken. HOW W ATER GETS INTO MILK. Customers Demand lee. Says One of Restaurant Proprietors. Ice in the milk demanded by the custom ers is the cause of the "watered milk" sold at the Mission tea room, according to Mrs. Sarah Maynard, manager of the lunch room. The place was listed by Dr. George Babb. -ity milk inspector, as one where watered milk was sold. However, Mrs. Maynard this morning said that Dr. Babb took his sample of milk from her cafe from a glass of milk that had a chunk of ice in it, and poured the ice into the bottle in which he put the milk sample. "We do not deliberately water our milk," said Mrs. Maynard. "The customers de mand a piece of ice in the milk we serve them and the water found in the Dr. Babb test came from the ice." Dr. Lucy Taylor Dead. Lawrence, Kan.. Oct. 4. Dr. Lucy Taylor, who averred she was the first woman graduate of a medical college in the United States, died here today. She came here in 1S67. TOLD TO GO WEST Why Frank Rockefeller Came to Kansas. Cousin John D. Refused to Give Him a Job. HE TOOK HIS ADVICE. Settled in Kansas and Is Glad of It. Now Candidate for Congress in Sixth District. Frank Rockefeller of Russell, Demo cratic candidate for congress from the Sixth district, has lived in Kansas so long that he has all the earmarks and personality of the typical product of the soil. His chances to go to congress are recognized as better than those of any Democrat in the state. He has a Frank Rockefeller of Russell, Demo cratic Candidate for Congress From the Sixth District. foundation of a heavy Democratic vote In the big Sixth and added to this the proclivity of the people of that great country to vote and talk their inde pendent sentiments on any subject un der the sun. Rockefeller's political enemies in the Sixth district are trying to make capi tal out of the fact that he is ah own cousin of the famous John D. Rocke feller of Standard Oil fame. They say that if Frank is sent to congress he will be subservient to the wishes of the oil magnate. This campaign story makes a little explanation of the rela tionship between the Kansan and the richest man in the world timely. Frank Rockefeller was reared on a New York farm. When he reached his majority he saw that there was no fu ture for him as a New York agricul turist, so he started west. He stopped at Cleveland to see his cousin. John D.. hoping to get a job from him. "If I could have secured a job at $40 a month I would have been at the height of my ambition," said Mr. Rockefeller to day in speaking of the incident, "for $40 a month was a big salary in those days. John had plenty of jobs at his command, but he could not see his way to help me. He told me to go west, and I did, without putting up any fur ther argument for a job." Settled in Kansas. The New York farmer boy found the Kansas soil a miracle of production and he soon had his farm paid for and branched out in the live stock busi ness. He has been part and parcel of the life of the western Kansas farming interests ever since. He served a term in the state legislature with Governor Stubbs. and has, like the average Kan sas farmer, taken a more or less ac tive interest in politics. He has been in accord with the intelligent and in dependent sentiment of his district on all public questions. Now John D. Rockefeller is a Repub lican, while Frank, the Kansas cousin. is a Democrat. But it was Frank who followed the custom of the Rockefeller family which has been of the Demo cratic faith from the beginning. Frank once asked John D. why he had de serted his father's faith to affiliate with the Republican party and the magnate replied: "I find that it pays better to be a Republican." This an swer was brief, characteristic and to the point. Frank and his family, while outside the circle of the eastern Rockefellers entirely, still keep on friendly terms with them through correspondence, occasionally visit with them in Cleve land and New York. But there is nothing in common between them. The ties of mutual interest were broken when the oil man could find no place for the farmer boy, but told him to go west and grow up with the coun try. The farmer boy took the advice and he did grow up with the country and at the same time grew away from the eastern branch. Frank Rockefel ler is now well-to-do and regarded by his western neighbors as a successful and solid business man. He is as plain as an old shoe and has a most pleas ing personality. But for all his quiet and modest demeanor he impresses the man who talks with him for awhile with his strength of character and judgment of men and things. Friendly With Kich Cousin. Talking about the story his op ponents had sprung on him about John D., the western cousin did not seek to make capital for himself by abusing his rich relative or dilating on the fact that John D. had turned him down years ago and that now there was only enmity between them. He is not that kind. He told of the incident merely to show that he had made his own way in Kansas and would continue to make his own way. "I do not see John D. very often," he said, "but we are friendly when we do meet. We are on opposite sides of the creek as regards politics, business and social life. But if I have no cause to love him neither have I cause to quarrel with him. If I go to congress he would have no more influence over me that Pierpoint Morgan would over Stubbs, if the red-headed governor goes to the V. S. Senate." The story of Frank's relationship with John D. may have its effect on people at a distance who don't know Frank, but with, the folks who have j -M iJriU. met him and know him it sounds ridiculous. Rockefeller is conducting his cam paign along his own lines and is not asking for outside help from the com mittee. He is not a spellbinder, but his talks to the township gatherings are haymakers. Name or no name, the reports from the Sixth have it that Rockefeller will get a big vote there next month. What's in a name? A Patrick Henry might be sent to Wash ington from Kansas and then sell out his state for a mess of eastern pottage. A. Held, chairman of the Clay county central committee, called on Governor Stubbs with cheerful news regarding the political complexion of that old standby Republican county. Held was anxious to make arrangements whereby the governor could make a speech in that county this month. It is likely that the schedule will be arranged to include Clay on the governor s list of dates, POOR OLD LINCOLN Shows Increase of But 3,804 ia Ten Years. City Once Claimed Population of Sixty-Seven Thousand. Washington, Oct. 4. Population sta tistics as enumerated in the thirteenth census for the following cities show: Chattanooga, Tenn., 44,604, an in crease of 14,450, or 47.9 per cent over 30,154 in 1900. Lincoln, Neb., 43.973, an increase of 3,804, or 9.5 per cent over 40,169 in 1900. The Lincoln census once showed a population of 67,000 but it was padded. San Jose, Cal., 28.946, an increase of 7,446, or 34.6 per cent over 21.500 in 1900. CHANGES IN SCHOOLS. New Teachers Will Take Places En courage Advance Study. At the meeting of the board of edu cation held Monday night a large amount of routine business was trans acted and as the heated argument concerning the payment of certain bills took up several hours of time it began to look as though it might be Tuesday before the business would be com pleted. It was voted to allow the State Teachers' association to use the high school building Thursday and Friday, October 20 and 21, free of charge. A committee composed of T. F. Gar ver and C. K. Holliday was appointed to act with W. J. Stagg, clerk of the board, in preparing a requisition sys tem for the purchase of supplies for the schools. It was decided to purchase a supply of fumigating materials so that the janitors can do the fumigating from now on, thus saving the extra cost of hiring some one else to do the work. The following recommendations of the teachers' committee were adopted: The appointment of Miss Harkins as acting principal of Potwin during the temporary absence of Miss Nagle be approved. Filling of the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Sarah Wooifolk, Lowman Hill school, by appointment from the available list. The following changes in salaries: Kindergarten assistant, $10 to $15 per month; Dorothy Zanditon, pianist in high school gymnasium, $20 to $30 per month. In the application of the salary sched ule for elementary schools the com mittee recommends that credit be givtm as follows: For two years' of study in addition to a high school course, one year's credit; for three years' study, two years' credit; for four years' study in an approved school, three years' credit. In case a teacher who has been em ployed by the board is re-elected after spending a year or more in study in an approved institution, the committee recommends that a year's credit on the salary schedule be given for each year of study so spent. In case of absence of teachers on ac count of sickness, the committee rec ommended that the payment of salary with deduction for the supply teacher be not made for more than one month without special action of the board. The employment of a supply teacher on half time be authorized for the State street school. The committee recommended the dis missal of schools October 20 and 21 on account of the meeting of the State Teachers' association on those dates, with the understanding that all teach ers become members of the association. The committee reported the following appointments from the available list to fill vacancies at the opening of school September 20: Mabel Pond, Hattie. Tomson, Ethel A. Chapman. Ethelyn Wright, Marie Fowler, Edith Monroe, Julia E. Davis, Edna Avery. These recommendations of the com mittee on supplies were adopted: 1. The purchase of 20 sets of Rand McNally wall maps of 8 maps each, at $12 per set. (State contract price, maps approved by the state commission). 2. That authority be given to pur chase supplementary readers for first and second grades at an estimated cost for the year of $750, bids for which were received as follows: Silver. Burdett Company, f. o. b. Chicago. Primer. 30 cents; first read er. 30 cents; second reader, 37 cents; third reader. 40 cents. Kansas Book Company, delivered Primer. 2 cents?: first reader. 32 cents: second reader, 39 cents; third reader, 42 cents. The committee recommends that tho books be purchased through the Kan sas Book Company at prices submitted. 3. The committee recommends the maklns of 84 drawers for supply case in freehand drawing room. It Is Cooler Today.

Can't Blame City Ordinances for Raise in Price. LESS BURDENSOME. New Law and License Lower Than What Is Now in Effect. City Milk Inspector Agrees With the Chief Executive. In answer to the Toneka milk deal ers, who charge that on account of thn Inflictions of the city ordinances, the price of milk in Topeka will be raised thia winter. Mayor J. B. Billard and Dr. George C. Babb, city milk inspec tor, this afternoon emphatically de nied that th citv could hava a no thing to do with the raise and de clared that if any change in price was to be made on account of city ordinances, the price of milk this win- ter should be lower. Mayor Billard says that the Ideas Of thft milk floalam ii raise the price. City Milk Inspector Babb is of the opinion that the pres ent ordinance under contemplation would tend to lower the price rather than raise it. New Ordinance Under Way. "In the first ril'ioi Cgfj "XT.. ti. lard, there has been no new ordi nance against tne milk dealers. There Is an ordinance under advisement, but it has not been before the board of city commissioners and has not been iiai-eu m tne ordinance books.

The new or dinance does not rpnuir. bhv, i, taxes and licenses as the old ordinance ana mere is no reason that the deal ers should give out this cry as the cause of the raise in the price of mUk. 11 is my opinion that the milk peo ple are iisine thn i t a this deal. They are preparing to raise the price of milk this winter and, seeing no other source of procedure, they blame the city ordinances. It is all an excuse to boost milk prices n the people of the city and. the city ordinances nave nothing to do with Dr. GfiOrETfl C Pahh rtittt i spector, is not in sympathy with the uuk. ueaiers in tneir reason for rais ing the price of milk in Topeka to 8 1-3 cents a quart this fall and win ter, but he is in sympathy with the cause.

If you notice the ordinance it i piain mat tne license is lowered and the burdens of taxes are not as high as under the old ordinance now in effect. "But I do know that it costs more to deliver milk in the winter time and I would lay the blame on the in creased price In land and the -alue of cows. I do not think that feed will be any higher this winter." The ordinance now in effect pro vides that every man who handles milk must pay the city a license of one mill a gallon.

T ALL TIIKOTJGI1 KANSAS Syndicate May Make Topeka Big Trolley Center. Otlitr Items of General Inter est in Traflic World. Congressman McKinley of Illinois and the capitalists associated with him are preparing to build a network of elec tric lines in Kansas. Already the Mc Kinley syndicate owns the street car Bystems of Topeka, Atchison and Wich ita, and the plans, as outlined, contem plate interurban lines which will con nect all these cities with the smaller towns intervening. The McKinley syndicate will begin at once the construction of a line between Atchison and St. Joseph, and following this a line is to connect Atchison with Leavenworth. Negotiations are pending, rumor says, with the Santa Fe for its branch line between those cities. This line Is known as the "Follywog." and it runs through the hill country back from the Missouri river, some 10 or 12 miles. It has never been a paying line, and only a mixed train operates daily. From Lawrence, where a connection Is to be built from Leavenworth, the line will follow the Kansas river val ley to Topeka, and then southwesterly through Osage City, Emporia, Strong City, Peabody and Newton to Wichita, b. distance of more than 200 miles from this city. It is predicted that the great wheat and corn belt of eastern and central Kansas is to be threaded with electric lines within the next five years. Al ready several lines are being surveyed through the central section north from Wichita, and one from Salina south to iNewton is under construction. It is the plan of the McKinley syndicate to con nect with these lines and thus provide electric service for the people 250 miles (west from Missouri river points. BRIDGE THE MISSISSIPPI. Two ew Structures at Memphis and Helena Are Planned. Railroads are doing their part in the development of the West and South and each week is recorded new evi dence of progress. Two new bridges are now promised to cross the Missis sippi river bands of steel binding closer the East and West in the bonds of trade and commerce. A new bridge at Memphis, Tenn., is the proposed enterprise of the Rock Island railroad. Engineers have been in Memphis look ing for a connecting point with. Rock Island lines west of Hopefield, Ark., to a point in Memphis, north of the mouth of Wolf river. This bridge, it is estimated, will cost more than 53,000,000. The big yards at Hulburt, Ark., will be retained for making up end handling general freight business. It is said the Cotton Belt and possibly the Iron Mountain Southern will use this bridge after its completion, and that the Cotton Belt will build the freight yards Jointly with the Rock Island. The other proposed bridge is to be at Helena, Ark. Chester A. Bond, presi dent of the Memphis Pensacola rail road, has written to President E. C. Hornor of the Helena Business Men's league, stating that it is the company's intention to build northward from Meridian, Miss., to two northern ter minals, Memphis and Helena, and that work on those lines will begin soon. Mr. Hornor stated that with the Mis souri North Arkansas, the Memphis, Iallas Gulf and the Memphis Pensacola roads entering Helena, he thought there would be no difficulty in building a fine bridge over the Mis sissippi river at that point.

It would have been finished earlier had it not been for the panic, which caused a suspension of the work. Up to 1907 it had been completed as far north of Topeka as Onaga, and in the past four years a local service has been main tained between those two points. It has been an expensive undertaking.

Owing to various complications in the situation regarding rates, however, there has been a disinclination on the part of some of the western lines to enter into arrangements and the prop osition for the present at least is in abeyance.

Accord ing to a persistent rumor, apparently well founded, a deal is on for the pur chase of the Rocky Mountain line by tha Santa Fe. The officials left for Taos valley by auto to look over the ground, with a view of an extension of the Rocky Mountain road from it present ter minus at Cimarron, N.

Guthrie, Ok., Oct. 4. Since President J. H. Shaw of the Western Association has announced that he will retire from further connection with the affairs of the association at the coming meeting at Tulsa, the indications are that Leo Meyer, president of the Guthrie club, will be selected as his successor. Meyer is now assistant secretary of state of Oklahoma, and is the Demo cratic nominee for state auditor at the coming election. He was also selected as one of the grand trustees of the Eagles' lodge at the recent meeting in St. Louis. It is now assured that Meyer will again be in control of the Guthrie fran chise next year, with Howard Price, manager of the 1909 and 1910 teams, as manager. Both Meyer and Price will attend the Tulsa meeting to look after the interests of the Guthrie team. Both have had wide experience in baseball affairs. Umpired in Texas League. Meyer gained his first baseball ex perience on the streets of New York city, but came to Oklahoma by way of Texas. He was an umpire in the Texas League and the owner of the Houston franchise in the league for three years. Houston had its first real baseball under Meyer's direction. Price has play ed and managed teams in the old Mis souri Valley League, K.-I.-T. League, Cotton States League, Southwestern League, South Central League and AVestern Association. No predictions can be made in re gard to the circuit for next year. All of the teams which started the 1910 season will be given a chance to re tain their franchises, but there proba bly will be changes. Bernie Garrett, a Western Association umpire this year, wants to put a team in Springfield again, while Coffeyville and Parsons, Kan., and Shawnee, Lawton and Chick asha, Ok., will probably also be appli cants for places. Getting Ready for 1911. Meyer and Price have begun to line up their team for next year and have signed Trad Ferguson of Watonga, son of ex-Governor Tom Ferguson, who was a noted ball player himself in his younger years. The ex-governor has an especially good eye for promising young players and has boosted several of them into faster company. Pitcher Roy Davis of Watonga, who was signed by Guthrie last year on his recommendation, but farmed to the Central Kansas League for further seasoning, made a record there as a no-hit pitcher, and is ex pected to be a star in the Western As sociation next year. "Shorty" De Witt, another Guthrie pitcher, was also one of the ex-governor's finds. Young Ferguson will be tried out either at shortstop or in the outfield. WASHBURN-BAKER GAME OCT. 7. Train Service Into Baldwin Cause of a Change. Owing to the fact that no Sunday trains run into Baldwin, the Washburn-Baker football game scheduled for Saturday will be played on Fri day in order that the team may re turn to their college town before the railroad takes its day of rest. Baker is in its second year of re established football and is fast build ing up a squad. They have a snappy fast bunch and play under Kansas conference rules. But if it is their in tention to play the Emporia game and shower the Washburn squad with for ward passes, they will find them of little avail. As a result of the last game Coach Stewart rounded up his bunch last night at 4 o'clock and un til 6:30 kept them charging and break ing forward pass combinations staged by the Freshies. The same will be repeated every night this week. Stewart is still working on his sys tem of first making his tram play the rudimentary football perfectly before giving them anything fancy and as vet the offensive work is mostly the bid stvle football. 1 THESE MAY PLAY IN GAME.

The 1910 season in the Western League is over. The 168 games sche dule was the longest ever played in the circuit and President Tip O'Neill says it is an unqualified success. Sioux City takes the pennant by a 26 point lead. Up until the last few weeks, however, no one could say but what Denver would edge out ahead. In mid eeason nearly everyone picked the Griz zlies to win. Just as hard a fight was on at the other end of the column to keep out of the cellar. There is some sumrise that Wichita finished above Omaha and then some that St. Joseph, the last addition, should finish ahead of the former Champions. About To peka there has been no doubt where it would finis; The club probably will be in other hands next season. Nothing definite has been done as yet by the committee appointed by the Commer cial club to organize some method of purchasing the franchise from Boss Cooley. The final official standing of the Western clubs are as follows: Team Won Lost Pet. Sioux City 107 61 .637 Dfnvpr 102 65 .611 Lincoln 96 70 .678 Wichita 8 78 .633 Omaha 84 82 .506 Rt Jnseoh 76 91 .455 Des Moines 72 96 .429 Torjeka 42 125 .251 No longer is Topeka the smallest town in the Western league circuit. The census report gives Lincoln only 43,000 population. W'ile the United States report on Topeka has not been made, the state census gives it nearly 48,000 and the United States report will 1033 KANSAS AVENUE. find it several thousand ahead of the Lincoln capital. In populatipn Topeka is clearly in Western league class. A good ball team with the winning spirit and a lot of fight would show Topeka one of the best ball towns in the west. In the last Denver and Wichita ser ies, Pettigrew is said to have lost a game through courtesy. Harris drove a long liner out to right which looked like it would hit the Bull Durham sign. Pettigrew let it go through but it fell a few feet short and everybody lost. Lincoln News: A lot of the Lincoln fans are getting heartily tired of this sacrifice thing, which has been one of the Antelopes' weaknesses all summer. The other fellows invariably know what is coming and lay their plans accord ingly. Last year, when the Lincoln club made its famous September spurt, pulling out of the last hole and chalk ing up six successive shutouts, the hit-and-run system was an important fac tor in the plan of attack. Rival teams had been seeing the local team bunt all summer and when the Antelopes switched to the hit-and-run style it brought immediate results. Mixing them up is the only right system. When the defense is kept guessing, the ball game is half won. Pitcher John Fox will be lugging his broken finger in splints for the next three or four weeks. The Reading athlete can pitch no more baseball this year, but he will linger in Lincoln to attend Monday night's banquet. Des Moines News: George Davis will be manager of the Des Moines baseball team in 1911 if he cares to take the job. President Higgins made the announcement this morning posi tive that if the former White Sox star would come back next season that he would be the man to pilot the local team. "We have had hard luck all season," said the local magnate, "but that was not the fault of Manager Da vis, and with an even break of luck another year I haven't the slightest doubt but that we will lead the way. However, I consider Davis one of trie greatest baseball men in the game and if he is given opportunity to better himself I will not stand in his way." That Davis is one of the greatest gen erals jrf baseball is without Question. Without Davis and his master hand-1 ling of the infield in 1906 the White Sox would never have won a pennant or been given an opportunity at the world's championship. Comiskey ac corded him equal credit with Fielder Jones in that great accomplishment of bringing a team that ranked seventh in midseason to a pennant winner at the close. That Des Moines dropped from a pennant winner to a seventh position team was through no fault of the manager. Conditions existed at the opening of the season of which the public had no knowledge. These had to be overcome. Two great pitchers who contributed more to last season's success than any other factor were lost to the new manager. His infield and outfield were crippled by sickness and injuries and the pitching staff proved a complete disappointment. Davis la bored patiently and built up his team time after time only to have it com pletely disorganized again by misfor tunes. He never complained, how ever, but plugged on with persistent efforts until now, at the very close. the club is one of the best In the league. When he saw that hope was gone for this year Davis built for the succeeding season and he has a team that should go along in wonderful style in 1911. He is one of the grand est sportsmen in the game and the fans of Des Moines will be glad to see him at the helm another year. St. Joseph News-Press: Rabbit Powell has been turned back to the Drummers by Charlie Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox. Reilly, Collins and Cooper have also been listed among the releases, and all three come to St. Joseph. The present order of things leaves Holland but two men short, as both Jones and Corhan are to report to Commy in the spring. One or both may make good in the big show, and we sincerely hope that they will. But in case they fail the first trip up, we will have them with us again next year. The prospects for a winning club in 1911 are brighter now than ever before and Manager Holland be lieves that his Drummers are going to be a factor in the race for the bunting one year from this fall. One thing that s bound to come before the annual meeting of the Western league magnates this fail is the question of LIQUID CURES ECZEMA WHERE SALVES FAIL In regard to skin diseases, medical authorities are now agreed on this: Don t imprison the disease germs in your skin by the use of greasy salves-, and thus encourage them to multiply. A true cure of all eczematous diseases can be brought abont only by using tha healing agents in tha form of a liquid. WASH THE GERMS OUT. A simple wash: A compound of Oil of Wintergreen, Thymol, and other In gredients aa combined in the D. D. D. Prescription. This penetrates to the disease germs and destroys them, then soothes and heals the skin as nothing else has ever done. A 25 cent trial bottle will start the cure, and give you instant relief. Geo. W.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBEE 4,1910. READ THIS CAREFULLY It Interests Everyone Who Has Dyspepsia, Indigestion or Any Form of Stom ach Trouble. Bome sufferers from etomaoh trouble ,v? .no aPPetite and even the sight of rood is distasteful to them. Others have ravenous appetite. The last condition la worse than the first for the continual overloading of the stomach further -weakens that organ, the food lies undigested, gas forms and the body becomes bloated. The blood, instead of obtaining nourish Dient from the digestive system, is poison ed by it and pains spread to the back, the head and other portions of the body. Like the other organs the stomach calls upon the blood for strength and nourish ment to sustain it in its daily work. It now receives a supply loaded with poi sons, or ''toxins, as they are called. Thus the stomach poisons itself, a pro cess known by physicians as "auto-intoxication," or self-poisoning. When this condition is reached there is Aie way to remedy it and that is to free the blood from these poisons and then, by a rich, pure supply of blood, to build cp the strength of the weakened stomach and bowels to do the work required of them. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla combat the poisons in the blood and enable it to restore the digestive organs to health and strength. The best proof is a cure like the following: T "About six years ago," says, Mr. jl. A. Bryan, of Nevada, Io. "I began iuffer with stomach trouble. It was brought on by overwork and perhaps by over-eating. There were severe pains in my stomach. I had a ravenous appetite but the food I ate did not digest. My itomach was bloated at times and was very sore. My back was weak and there was a dull aching pain across it. "I took the doctor's medicine for sev eral months but it did not help me. Then I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had not taken them many days before I noticed a change for the better. I took the pills until I was entirely cured. My eeneral health is good and I have not been sick since. I can recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills very highly."

ATTRACTIVE EXHIBIT Grains, Grasses and Vegetables Especially Fine. Bryan Samples Corn Bread Made on Grounds. Beloit. Kan., Oct. 4 The eighth an nual meeting of the Mitchell County State Wide Fair association was a not able success in every department. The receipts are the largest In the history ol th- organization. The premiums were liberal, and ail were paid in full. There is enough left in the treasury to make other substantial improve ments in time for the 1911 fair. To the president and secretary, E. C. Logan and W. S. Gabel, and their corps of ex cellent, hard working assistants, who never tired of their work the four days of the fair, Mitchell county owes a debt of gratitude the county can afford to pay with good interest. And the business men of Beloit, many of them. took especial interest in the fair in offering generous financial premiums for special exnimts. ine special cum exhibit, for which A. T. Rodgers offer ed $50 in premiums, was one of the most attractive exhibits in the big tent here the displays of grains, grasses ami veeetables were made. More than half a hundred made exhibits. The committee said they were all good. Such corn samples would do credit to any state fair. Other special premiums for eoivi ex hibits were given by Frank Williams Co.. merchants cf Beloit, and the coun ty of Mitchell. Sold $40O Worth of Melons. There were exhibits of watermelons. Tvi fhin c 40 and 50 pounds. One man said that so far this season he had sold 40fl worth of melons ne raiseo on iour acres, besides had many more wagon loads on hand. There were cucumbers 14 inches long, grown and exhibited by Mrs. Mary Banks. Speakinsr of Mitchell county s mam ih en cron. one of the exhibitors said he had corn that would yield from SO to 75 bushels per acre: another raiser savs he believes some of his corn will run as high as 100 bushels an acre. In the culinary and pantry stores de partment, presided over by Mrs. Frank Williams, tnere was a naypj """j Id make the best loaf of bread or sweetcake. About the time the committee was to cnoose j. Prran and Frank Rockefeller put m their appearance, and Mrs. Williams kindly Invited tnem in to sample mo corn bread, baked on the grounds, for which three premiums were offered by the Beloit Milling company, the age limit heinir 14 vears. The politicians couldn't decide, they said it was all good. The committee decided that Edna Belles was entitled to me mm premium, Kenneth Kays second, and Henrietta Pittaway and ernie Clymire tied for the third. One or tne youns. elrls said that "her loar OI Dreaa wa the kind mother makes." No Horse Racing Allowed. The fair association doesn't permit horse racing, but in its stead there were bicvele racing and horseshoe pitching, "the latter being perhaps the first time on record any fair associa tion has sprung this amusement. A 110 premium was offered, and it was hotly contested. This being a state wide fair stock breeders and exhibitors came from other counties. One of the largest ex hibits was that from the spring tint breeding farm of C. G. Cochran Son3, adjoining Plain ville. Rooks county. They had a herd of 15 head of Short Horn cattle. This firm has the largest herd of Short Horns in the state, about 400 head. They are making a speeialtv of attending county fairs, their object being to keep in touch with the breeders. So far this year they have exhibited in Stockton. Sylvan Grove, Concordia, Beloit and Minne apolis. They have carried off many premiums from these fairs, winning seven firsts, five seconds, one third, and two sweepstakes. F. L. Brown Co.. of Sylvan Grove. Lincoln county, exhibited five head of Herefords. At the head of his herd is "Castor." 3 years old and weighs 1.800 pounds. E. E. Eooker. of Mitchell county, ex hibited 11 head of Short Horns. "Den nis Povanla" is at the head of his herd, 4 years old and weighs 2,375 pounds. In the horse as well as cattle exhibits the show was first class. It goes to prove that Mitchell is fast coming to the front as one of the big horse and cattle counties in the state. In the Fercheron class this county stands on the top round of the ladder. In the horse exhibits. Joseph Wear of Mitche'l county, had nine head, including colts, of the German coach variety. Mr. Wear Sons are the owners of the well known Lawnsdale stock farm, and at all times keep a supply of fine thoroughbred horses. Fine Exhibit of Horses. One of the largest exhibitors was R. O. McKinnie. who was on hand with IS head of Percherons. In the herd was a 3-year-old stallion weighing 2.150 pounds. Two of the mares exhibited were prize winners at the Chicago In ternational show last fall. The western part of Mitchell county was represented by John Schmitt. of the famous Tipton country. Besides his champion mare "Delia." which suc ceeded in carrying off first honors at the Topeka State fair, he had several other horses here. Ave of them being registered Percherons. Kepple Barr.ett. of Glen Elder, who made the big exhibit of Percherons at the Topeka State fair, had their herd here, and as usual were awarded sev eral first premiums. It looked if about half of the population of Mitchell coun ty are in the tine thoroughbred stock industry. Among them are C. J. John son. John Quaekenbush. Brown Lath am. Roy Xeifert. C. E. McKinnie. L. A. Laraborn. T. C. Wrench, P. H. Pag eit. F. L. Siegrist. Al Hicks. Elmer Creitz. George Bunch. George Biddin ger. Chris Hanson, Charles McCleary. Myrone Torney, E. C. Logan. W. B. J. M. Rodgers. Leon Carter, and oth ers, who exhibit thoroughbred horses, cattle and hogs. The stockmen were anxious to make this fair a success in every particular as well as to adver tise Mitchell county as a fine stock growing and breeding center. Later on a race meeting will be given in which the gallant horse steed will com pete for honors. Beloit has a fine race track, and it is outside of Chautauqua park where the fair is held. Manifold's band gave daily concerts on the fair grounds. Everybody who has heard this band make music want to hear it again. It has been a source of delight to not only Beloit but all lovers of band music as well. The business men of Beloit honored the fair association by closing the bus iness houses one day. while the schools dismissed their pupils the same time, that all might attend the fair. MAYOR OF HERINGTON PEEPED. Then Lighted a Match to Look For OU and Found It. The mayor of Herington will not hunt for gas with matches any more. In fact he will not be physically able to hunt for gas for a weeks at least and it is safe to say that his mental capacities will never allow any such action. It happened the other day. It seems that Mayor Murray is dealing in crude oil in Herington since the demand for this kind of fuel has been prevalent in the city. A car had arrived over the Rock Island and the mayor ac companied by his son Edgar went down to the yards to make a personal Inspection of the unloading of this tank car. After the laborers had been pump ing the heavy oil out of the tank for several hours Mayor Murray figured that practically all of the oil had been removed from the car and mounting to the dome he peered into the black depths. Xo oil could be seen. Striking a match the city's chief executive stuck it into the opening at the top of the car and with it he attempted to place his head and shoulders. A terrific explosion followed. The gas from the oil ignited from the match. Mayor Murray was thrown from the top of the car to the ground and his son who stood near him was thrown to the bed of the tank. The mayor was burned badly about the arms and shoulders and was bruised seriously. Etlgar Murray was bruised about the head and body but not burned. The tank and car were unin jured. KILLED IX BAKIXG MACHIXE. Leavenworth Man Had Just Taken a New Position. Leavenworth, Kan.. Oct. 4. In su pervising the initiatory mixing of the bread dough at his new position in the bakery of the Battle Mountain San itarium, at Hot Springs, S. D-, Gus Rapp was drawn into the revolving mixer and received Injuries which re sulted in his death a few hours later. Rapp left Leavenworth Tuesday morning and it was the first night at his new work that he was fatally in jured. He had a position as head baker in the Sanitarium bakery, and was superintending the starting of the bread mixer. In some way his hand was caught in the cylinder, and he was drawn into the machine. His right arm was torn from the shoulder and his body terribly mangled. His body was wedged so tightly in the machine that it was an hour after the cylinder was stopped before it could be re moved.. He was conscious until he died. Previous to his departure for his new position, Rapp was employed in a North Leavenworth bakery. A wife, formerly Miss Mattie Inman of this city and his mother, Mrs. Caroline Rapp of South Broadway, survive him. WAS 20TH KAN SAS SOLDIER.

KANSAS' GOOD SHOWIXG. Has $5,000,000 Worth of Autos and 87.000,000 Invested in Pianos. When it comes to the real stuff, Kansas seems to be there with the goods, and she is willing to admit it, even to the assessor. Here are a few of the things that the assessor's re turns shows up: We have in the state more than a million and a quarter of dollars invested in gold watches. We have pianos to the value of J7, 000, 000. together with some other musical in struments worth a milnon more. The automobiles are worth $5,000,000. The buggies and carriages are valued at just a little less than J5. 000.000. All of which goes to show that we have about J20.000.000 worth of things along these lines that we really could get along without if hard times should happen to come along. Lawrence Ga zette.

Xo Doubt About Poalam's Power to Kill Germ Life, In any bacterial infection of the skin poslam, the new skin remedy, shows its power to annihilate germ life oy stopping tne itching at once and causing the trouble to quickly disap pear. Poslam acts in this manner in any surface skin disease, including all eczemas, salt rneum, sum scaie, seven year itch, psoriasis, barbers' itch and similar troubles. Every day brings rec- oras or remargaoie cures exceeding all claims made fox it. "For sixteen months I suffered with eczema," writes Mr. W. Noeman, Elmira.

On December 29 I procured pos lam, and am happy to sav that on January 7th (9 days later) I am per fectly healed: my skin is as clear as a baby's." In minor skin affections, such as pimples., red noses, complexion blem ishes, rash, scalp scales, itching feet, etc., a small quantity of poslam will do the worK. results being seen over night.

Our town en tered upon a new epoch last Friday and Saturday, the occasion being the first annual colt and poultry show, and it was a rousing success, being attend ed by from 1,600 to 1,800 people. The show was held under the joint au spices of the Hoyt Horse company and the Hoyt Commercial club. The poultry exhibit was a great sur prise to everyone. Twenty-eight pens, comprising 114 individuals, were shown. Including in this list were fourteen breeds, besides several pens of turkeys. While the department of farm pro ducts was intended to be of secondary importance, it took the first place, and exceeded the expectations of all. The horticulture department was also a "hummer." Fourteen parties contested for the prizes for the largest and best assortment of apples. The winner of the prize had twenty-eight varieties on exhibition, while the sec ond prize went to one who had a few short of that number. It is the intention to make these shows a permanent feature hereafter and our Commercial club has already taken steps with that end In view. In the future, more than in the past, Hoyt will occupy a conspicuous place on the maps of Jackson county and the state of Kansas. SOME BIG APPLE SHIPMENTS. Little Town of Xortonville Is Doing a Big Business. Northeastern Kansas has opened the eyes of apple buyers thiB vear. From the little station of Nortonville there have already been shipped 2.500 barrels to Iowa, Illinois and other ponts where they do a great deal of bragging about raising apples. The buyers say they are the finest quality apples they have ever bought, the Jonathans. Winesaps, Grimes Golden and several other va rieties being particularly fine. Whit Maxson is just home from the east and says there are more apples here than in the whole state of New York. Joe Sholtz another apple man says the crop here skins anything he ever saw in Iowa. Considering the scarcity we wonder if the farmers have not sold too soon and at too low a price. THEY KILL A LABORER, Highwaymen Slash Thomas Egan and Rob Him or $7. Wellington, Kan.. Oct. 4.

A new way to get walnuts into the western part of Kansas has been de vised. The boys of the state are to do the work. The Kansas State Agri cultural College has done the plan ning, and it is a pretty fine program the college proposes to carry out. Every boy in Eastern Kansas is asked to gather the walnuts In his dis trict if they're his the week of Oc tober 17. Get every nut you can. hull them and put them into sacks, pre ferably gunny sacks, and attach a card bearing your name and address, and then, November 3 remember the date send or take your contribution to a central place in your home county to be chosen as quickly as possible and have it shipped to some county in Western Kansas. Xo boy will have difficulty in deciding upon a county in which there are few trees, and pos sibly no walnut trees. This should be a central point of distribution for all the Western counties. The next step in the program will be taken Xovember 12. Bovb in these Western counties are asked to meet at the central point to which the wal nuts have been shipped and there re ceive 50 or 100 walnuts, agreeing to plant them in furrows, 6 to 7 inches deep, just where the boy and his father want the trees. If two or more rows are decided upon, the walnuts should be planted in rows eight feet apart and four feet apart in the row. These trees can be thinned out should all grow successfully. Walnuts thrive in Western Kansas. Hardly a county is without its grove, but every farm should have one. The work of organizing for this "Walnut Week" will be under the direction of county superintendents of schools or of some Farmers' Institute officer. Boys in Eastern Kansas should send word to the county superintendent that they will gather the walnuts, and bovs in the eastern part of the state should let the superintendent In their counties know that they will take of) or 100 walnuts and plant them some time in November.

I-X'LL LEASED WITtK REPORT OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, The State Journal 19 a member of the Associated Press and receives the tu'l day telegraph report of that great ntws or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon pnMicatlon In Topcka. The news Is received In The State 3ur- rial building over wires for tbla sola pwi rose. Time continues to flv without any tccl dents to pronellor or engine. Life for Governor Haskell seems to Slave been just one trial after another. The Teddy bear is likely to lose its popularity in a number of New Tork families. Scientists say men will soon learn to eat sharks and enjoy them. Tit for tat. An aerial fire department to look after burning sky scrapers may be the next new thins;. The country will be interested In watching; the Colonel's pursuit of the Tammany tiger. Jessie Morrison is out of prison and ehe neither wrote poetry nor invented ft flying; machine. There is talk of dividing; Texas into two states but the Washington Herald thinks one Texas is enough. Perhaps the movement to have the menu printed in English is designed to reduce the high cost of living. The question is no longer, what shall v do with our presidents, but what shall we do with our vice presidents? The New Tork World refers to it as the "appointment" of Mr. Stimson to the candidacy for the governorship. We are told by the treasury depart ment that there is no scarcity of mon ey, but a lot of people know better. The assertion that automobiles are not growing cheaper Is upset by an examination of the tax assessors' roils. After the matter of having the menu printed in English has been accom plished the reformers might turn their attention to the doctor's prescrip tions. Seven persons committed suicide in one day in Philadelphia. What is need ed is an ata society to help people to leave the Quaker city by some other route. According to the available statistics only 80 persons have ever died from snake bite In this country. Is this put out as an advertisement for the distil leries? Perhaps it is Just as well, from a political standpoint that the postmaa ters have been put under civil service. They might secure a presidential nom ination, but it Is the people who elect. According to the biennial report of the state superintendent of schools the average salary paid teachers last year .was $49.06 per month to men and 946.22 to women. This it will be re membered is only for from six to nine knonths In the year. Is it any wonder that there is continual complaint about scarcity of teachers? The tariff is not to blame for all the advantages which Europeans have over citizens of the United states in the mat ter of ordinary expenses. An 11-pound package can be mailed from Pittsburg to foreign countries at 12 cents a pound. But no package weighing more than four pounds can be mailed to any point Within the United States, and the rate Js 18 cents a pound. One of the special correspondents at Washington reports a belief there that all the members of the cabinet have advised the president to appoint Charles E. Hughes chief justice of the United States; also that the president has under consideration as possible as sociate justice Senator Sutherland of Utah, Judge Swayze of the New Jersey supreme court, and R. V. Lindaberry of the Newark bar. So we may get some "Jersey justice'' at the hands of the supreme court. The U. S. Geological Survey states that tho total quantity of Portland, na tural and puzzolan cements produced in the United States during 1909 was 64,196,386 barrels, valued at $51,232, 979. As compared with 1908, when tho production was 52,910,925 barrels, valued at J44.477.653, the year 1909 showed an increase of 11,285.461 bar rels, or 21.3 per cent, in quantity, and an increase of $6,755,326, or 15.1 per cent in value. The increase in quantity is the largest ever recorded, eays the Cement Age, but the failure of the increase in value to keep pace with the Increase in production is sig nificant of the trade conditions which the cement industry encountered dur ing 1909. Repeating that old theory so often exploded, that "history repeats itself," Philadelphia Record prints t lie fol lowing reminiscence from the political history of New Tork: The situation of the Republican party of New Tork Is much like that which arose in the con flict between the "Stalwarts" and the "Half-Breeds" a quarter of a century ago. This division between the two fac tions split the party wide open, and re sulted in the election of Grover Cleve land. To appreciate the conditions it ia necessary only to substitute the reac tionaries of today for the Stalwarts, and the Insurgents or pretended Pro gressives for the Half-Breeds. Anoth er division was between the federal and state officeholders. Judge Charles J. Folger, secretary of the treasury In President Arthur's administration, a man of high abilities and blameless character, was nominated for governor In 1887 and Cleveland was elected over him by a plurality of 192.000 votes. THE LOS ANGELES DISASTER. When the news of the wrecking of the .Los Angeles Times was flashed across the country, probably the first thought that came to the minds of most people was that the outrage was con nected in some way with the relentless war which for years has been waged between General Otis, owner of the pa per, and the labor unions. But conceding that this wanton de struction of life and property may have resulted from bitterness engenderd by the labor war, there will be few sober minded people who will lay the act at the door of the unions. Labor organizations, as a rule, are composed of as good a class of citizens as can be found, but in any body of men united by a common thought or interest there may be a Wilkes Booth, Guitteau, Czolgosz or a Harry Or chard. If the guilty party shall ever be discovered, It probably will be found that he is some such creature as these. Intelligent and well balanced men, such as make up the great body of organized labor do not do such things. WOBBLY NEW YORK. If New York should go Democratic in November as the result of the Repub lican factional fight in that state, tho ever hopeful Democrats doubtless would consider such a result as a har binger of victory in 1912. It will be recalled that the Stalwait Halfbreed war of 30 years ago made Governor Cleveland president. His overwhelming defeat of Folger, due to a fight to the death over the spoils of office in the Republican party, made him the logical candidate in the na tional contest two years later, and he won, but how? The tremendous majority of 192,000 for Cleveland in 18S2 dwindled to about 1,000 in 1884, and this plurality it is generally believed was dishonestly ob tained. The returns in certain Tam many districts were held back nearly a week for the purpose of ascertaining how many votes the party candidate needed and then a sufficient numbar was counted for him to give him the state. This part of the history of that cam paign could hardly be repeated. The Republicans could not well make a fuss about it then, because only eight years before they had robbed Tilden of an election. No president since the war has been elected without the vote of the Empire state. New York's political history shows the state so constituted that .t can reverse itself radically In brief time, and so it is un safe to count upon what happens in November, 1910, as conclusive evidence of what is going to happen in Novem ber, 1912. There Is a large independent vote to be reckoned with only at the time; never two years in advance. CLOUDS HAVE ROLLED BY. All danger of a financial disturbance this fall has passed away according to the view of Henry Clews, an accepted Wall street authority. As one evidence of settled conditions he cites the fact that new securities to the amount of $50,000,000 have been placed within the past two weeks. He finds additional satisfaction in the turn of political affairs in New York. Referring to Colonel Roosevelt he says "Colonel Roosevelt is too experienced and too astute a politician to permit personal rancors to continue the dom inating features during the remainder of the campaign, which from now on should assume a constantly decreasing influence as a factor in the general situation." After expressing the utmost faith and confidence in President Taft, espe cially as regards the selection of su preme court judges yet to be made he continues: "The Standard Oil and the Ameri can Tobacco cases under such condi tions lost their force as features of alarm, and we may feel thoroughly as sured that whatever decisions are reached will be based on the constitu tional rights of property. We can ask or desire nothing more. If these or ganizations in their form contravene the laws, ample opportunity will be given them to conform to the laws. There will be no attempt at confisca tion, and It is quite fair to assume that under the new conditions that are now in sight the decisions of the supreme court affecting industrial combinations are not the threatening influences that they were a few months ago." Blessings of a Good Wife. Wifely devotion was well Illustrated in the case of two prisoners recently released from the Ohio penitentiary. At the gates, waiting to receive them, were their wives. The husband in each in stance had violated the law and been condemned by a jury of his peers, but the wife had never faltered in her faith or sympathy or helpfulness And there, welcoming the men to a new freedom and encouraging them to a new life, stood these two women, typical of the best of their sex. Many men, after the humiliation of a prison life, are ham pered by suspicion and rebuffed in every effort to lead a better life and are ultimately driven by discourage ment back to crime and prison. It ought not to be so with these two men, or with any of the others who, on re lease find themselves still possessed of the love of a good woman. Love that Is not destroyed by a hus band's mistakes, devotion that la not marred by years of imprisonment, and loyalty that stands the test of long ab sence are not so common that their ap pearance Is to be ignored. To com plete the picture, these men should, as we believe they will, show by their upright conduct an appreciation of the blessings that they have in their wives. Columbus Dispatch. JAYHAWKER JOTS Members of a charivari party have been haled into court and fined in Re public county. Congressman Anthony's paper ex cuses those who were bribed to vote for Lorimer on the ground that a man could not be expected to vote for him for nothing. Here is one thing that no person should forget, says the Osborne Farm er: You can save a lot of trouble by buying your fish instead of trying to catch them. Having granted the coal miners a 5 per cent increase in wages, the Sa lina Journal looks for an announce ment that the price of coal to consum ers will be advanced 10 per cent. If we wanted to make a woman lose her religion we would arrange to have a lot of relations drop in for a long visit in the hottest season of the year, says the Hill City New Era, At a party in Howard a large 170 pound girl went with a boy trho weighs 108. Someone referred to him as her incubator baby, and she got so mad she forgot what was trumps. Several estimable citizens of Em poria recently have cut off their whisk ers. says Charlie Blakesley. as the re suit of a stirring campaign conducted by the Gazette's Alfalfa Editor. The trouble with the adage that one cannot make good without making en- mies, says the Lawrence World, is that some fellows take the fact they have enemies as being conclusive proof that they have made good. The Lindsborg News prints this come-back: Folks who complain be cause there are more women than men in the churches might derive some consolation from the fact that it is officially stated that there are more men than women in the poor houses and penitentiaries. The editor of the News is a woman. A movement is on foot to compel the shippers of whiskv to plainly label each package on the outside so that the nature of its contents may be easily known. If this movement is successful, says the Leavenworth Post, the hypocrite who howls for prohibi tion 3 65 days a year and has an ex press package marked "Hardware" delivered at his door once a week, will get a real touch of prohibition. There is a certain man in Winfield the Free Press says, who has a habit of borrowing money from his friends. One of these friends has discovered a way to beat the game. As soon as he sees the borrower approaching, he strikes the borrower for a loan. At the present -writing he has borrowed back twenty-five cents more than he lent to the borrower and the borrower has not showed up for the past eight days. The editor of the Howard Courant is puzzled over a situation which he sets forth as follows: There are many preachers of many kinds. Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon is writing a dramatized version of his book, "In His Steps." and the Washburn College Dramatic club will play It at Topeka A Howard reverend preaches against theaters and dramatics, and especially bears down on amateur theatricals as being a training school for the professional stage. It's hard to know which preach er to tonow. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A mean dog is always meaner when he's hungry. Socialism Is not a principle: it is a political trick. Every person in the world is a nat ural born critic. When a man is hard of hearing, he Is always fond of asking questions. There is probably nothing that will afford more worry than a wheat crop. Some people do not "agree" with you, aa some food does not "agree" with you. As a boy, we used to count fighting bumblebees as abont the bravest thing a boy could do. Fashion note: the new fall hats make short women look taller from the neck up than from the neck down. You still meet an old fashioned man occasionally who thinks a collar is sufficiently stylish without a neck tie. If a man hasn't much health, he takes a lot of trouble to care for what he has, and outlives his robust brothers. About the only difference between the rich man and the poor man is that the rich man hasn't a Sunday suit. We would as soon fight Alois Phil- lpp as meet him when he s enthusi astic about anything; he's so demon strative. There is nothing that will take the heart and soul out of a man so com pletely as to be suspicious of a woman he loves. The man who applauds is always a better fellow than the sour man who is only waiting to get behind your back to roast you. We hear a great deal about health rules; but the facts seem to be that you are not entitled to feel very well after you pass fifty or sixty. People are not as free with titles as formerly; In the old davs, every law yer was known as "judge," and every school teacher as "professor," and every druggist as "Doc." Last word pathos received some thing of a jolt when the Peters girl, of Kansas City, on her dying bed. said, "See that you cinch that guy; he took me to a hotel in Olathe, and ruined me." "I was with an acquaintance in a well filled room the other evening, and he persisted in pointing out with his outstretched finger all the people about whom he wished information. Should I have called the police?" Parson Twine. Be loyal to your employer; It pays. There is the case of Arthur Brisbane, of the New York Journal. It is a rare day when Mr. Brisbane does not print an editorial in poster type praising his employer, W. R. Hearst. Result: Mr. Brisbane is said to receive a sal ary of $75,000 a year. A turkey buzzard, when it finds plenty of carrion, will eat until it falls over helpless. It is drunk; drunk with too much food. When you eat too heartily, you wonder why you feel bad. You are drunk with too much food, and nature is making a big ef fort to save your life. "I am not very well pleased with things as they are." said a man yes terday. "No woman has ever even looked my way, much less gone half crazy over me. Jessie Morrison and Mrs. Castle were both above the av erage in looks and intelligence, and a plugged nickel was a boom, price for, Olln Castle." 1 KANSAS COMMENT CIVIC ENTHUSIASM. If you Want your home city to re main stationary or to lose in popula tion, one sure way to helyp toward that end, is to adopt an apologetic attitude In speakin gof your home in stitutions. If you have a friend vis iting you, or when you are convers ing with traveling men, be sure and make it clear that you recognize all the faults of the place that you live in. ..Thereby they will perceive that you are a person of high social and bus iness standards, of keen and critical perceptions, accustomed to move free ly among the seats of the mighty. They will note that you condescend to mingle with -the common people, and that you absent yourself from the world's great metropolitan centers, merely from some interesting- eccen tric whim. But although you may succeed in making this impression, your real estate or your business wiil not there by grow more valuable, nor will your wages thereby be increased. You will not thereby add anything to the rep utation possessed by your town as a good place to live and do business in which reputation is the only thing that draws newcomers. We have often noted the feeling of priue witn wnicn people in a grow ing city speak of the place they live in. They talk of the things in alarge way. They call the little brook run ning through the town a river, the pond is a lake, the hill is a mountain. It is easy, of course, for people to get to speaking about such things in a hightflow bombastic way. But an enthusiastic vie wof one's sur roundings need not necessarily make itsPlf ridiculous. This habit of civic enthusiasm is not the effect of growth, but a cause and the principle cause. Just as a man accomplishes in life the degree of success he believes he can accom plish, so a city accomplishes in some degree the growth its people believe it can attain. Atchison Champion. THE DIVORCE EVIL. The divorce evil is having -another run in the newspapers and magazines. The divorce evil like Alice's cigarette smoking is worse for the advertising it gets. If a man and woman are right the marriage relationship wll be a suc cess but when the parties to the con tract are wrong, the devil is to pay and- there is no help for it. The di vorce court simply reflects a condi tion in the community. The divorce evil must be overcome before mar riage. The lesson must be learned in the home. When parents are able to teach their children right living, then there will be fewer domestic trage dies, and the divorce problem will set tle itself. So long as girls in short dresses are permitted to wear fake hair, and patent complexions and gad the streets at night; so long as boys in knee pants are permitted to have Keg parties, play penny ante, wear Johnny hats with red bands and flunk in their studies so long will a class of men and women be turned out who will break into the divorce courts on the slightest provocation. There are too many Fluffy Ruffles and too many Johnny boys in the world. A change In the breed would help some. Holton Signal. o NOT ENOUGH OF 'EM. Either the Republican party plat- torm in Kansas has been wrong for nrty years, or It1 Is right this year tor the first time. The Nationalist pre fers to believe that the party has been right, year by year, and that it has a lot of wrong doctrines in the plat form this year. Republicanism and democracy are not synonymous, in spite of the similarity in this year's platforms. There were not enough reg ular Republicans at Topeka to build a good platform, so the insurgents put up a Dad one. Manhattan Nationalist. HOW, INDEED? How can the government make rail road rates that will yield fair returns on the property used until it knows the value of that property? A railroad these days is not a private competitive business, but a monopoly that will, if left to itself, "take all the traffic will bear." The public asks that this mon opoly be regulated by the government, allowing fair returns on actual invest ments. Jewell County Republican. A SIGN OF THE TIMES. Among the most important signs of the times is that political policy of lead ing newspapers in the largest cities which publishes the news of all par ties, leaving the people to form their own conclusions from what they read in the news columns, or to adopt the views expressed on the editorial page. In this day of independent thinking the newspaper in greatest demand is the one that prints the news impar tially. True the present day partisan ship of the political editorial is not the intense, furious prejudice of the past, and to this extent reflects the change which is manifested the country over. Such headway have the voters made in the last decade that more than three-fourths of the ballots cast in local elections represent Independent selection of candidates on various tickets. In many instances the voter's party affiliation cannot be detected from his marking of the ballot. In the highest and broadest sense the watchword of The Sun" is to cham pion the rights and liberties of the people; to serve the whole commun ity; to let nothing stand in the way of devoted service to the common inter ests. The wrongdoer fears nothing so much as he fears publicity. A vigor ous, impartial press is a blazing sun, blighting workers of iniquity. Turn on the light. Let us walk in it rather than in darkness. Pittsburg Sun. SHE MAT COME BACK. The census returns seem to show that Chicago has ceased to be the world's wonder for rapidity of growth which it was for many years. It is a fair inference that the long period of almost unparalleled swiftness of devel opment which gave tne western me tropolis fame far beyond the borders of the United States has ended, be cause the actual increment of its popu lation, in the last ten years, not to speak of the rate per cent of growth, proves to have been much below the record made in the preceding decade. But this logical conclusion may be upset by the next census. It may be found that Chicago can "come back" as a marvel of rapid growth. Great cities do that, sometimes, after drop ping for a decade or two, far below the rate of progress expected of them. Not that there is anything slow in Chicago's expansion or commonplace in its gains, except by contrast with its past. Any city which adds nearly half a million to its population in ten years and reaches the vast total of 2,185,283 is entitled to the respectful attention of the world. It is one of the big forces in the life of this country, as such a city surely would be in. any other. Cleveland Leader. 1 FROM OTHER PENS I OX THE SANDS. Soft as the downy bloom upon a peach The wane of day flings its fair rose Over a brown-gray stretch of beach And the tide's foam-fringed Interflows. Whilst, of the human lispers That dare to cross its plain. The sea, in husky whispers, Proclaims a lone disdain. The last sun-ray has ceased to rest On the surf-cinctured sand; To the pine-scented land Silence steals, a phantom guest. To meditation thus it saitbj: "Life is a twilight gale, Whose strength doth naught avail In ocean-clammy depths of death!" Then I turn once again to where Into one sea and sky do grow. And look! Bright through the misting air, A passing- sail's hone-buovant elow. William Struthers, in Boston Transcript. THE EVENING STbRY Two Runabouts. (By Donald Allen.) Toung Dr. Bennett had just opened his office at Scottsville, and the people of Scottsville, including the two doc tors who had been there for years, were wondering how long it would taks him to starve out. Dr. Scott had a few hundred dollars left after receiving his diploma, and instead of setting up his office in the woodshed xand preparing to visit patients on foot he had fitted up nice quarters and bought a runabout machine, just as it had planned to sail right to the top -within three months. He also wore gloves and a silk hat and he didn't hang around the post- office and talk politics. Scottsville had its way, and it didn't like young Dr. Scott's way. The only other runabout owned in the vicinity was the machine belonging to Miss Ida June, daughter of tha broker in the city, who had an all-the-year house a mile from the village. The coming of a second machine was re sented by the villagers and by Mifcs Ida. It wasn't overcrowding the field, but it was a handsomer vehicle and was said to be speedier, and then it had been introduced without warning. The doctor hadn't even hinted that he intended to work such an innovation in country practice, and a feeling or pique was aroused. He had made a bad start. He had not taken the vil lage Into his confidence. Every day Miss Ida came into the village in her runabout after the mail. Dr. Scott met her at the postoffice. He didn't stare, and her glances were furtive, but the impression of neither was favorable. "Proud, haughty and selfish," was the doctor's verdict. "Thinks he's quite some, and needs to be taken down," was the verdict of the girl. It was Inevitable that the two ma chines should meet. They did meet. Miss Ida looked straight ahead, as if nnssini si load of straw, and the doc tor only cast a swift glance at her and wondered if she thought she owned the earth. It was the same the second and the third time. Then some one told the girl that the doctor was boasting that his machine could travel three miles to her two. He hadn't said any such thing, but the report acted on her the same as the truth, and she replied with great spirit: "If I ever catch that young man out on the road I will give him a lesson to do him good." And then some one told the doctor that Miss Ida was going to "lay for him" and make a holy show of his machine, and though he only smiled In reply he determined to humiliate that-gfrl if opportunity offered. It was a month before it offered. He found her apparently waiting for htm on the broad highway, and she started off with a defiant squeal of the horn. He didn't attempt to overtake her. It wouldn't be dignity, to over take and pass a young lady the very first time. Besides, there was a good deal of dust flying, and he also thought he could make out that she was a bit reckless in her driving. On the second occasion, while the doctor was driving at a fair gait, the girl came up and whizzed past him, and he would have laid any odds that he heard a sneering laugh. On the third he w&s sure of the sneer and the laugh, and he said that he would not spare her again. A week later he found her on the road waiting for him She had descended to cull wild flow ers, but as soon as he appeared in sight she took her seat in the machine, deliberately looked back and went ahead. It was her den, and it was accepted. She was going to take that young man down a peg or two, and he was going to bring about a humili ation. Farmer Henderson had sold a load of straw to the livery stable the day before; and on this day was driving it into town. He was driving in the middle of the road, of course. He was half asleep, of course. There was no particular reasog why he should "keep to the right" and have his eyes wide open. By and by he thought he heard a noise behind him, and he looked back to brace up and exclaim: "Now, then, shoot my cats If that June girl and that new doctor ain't racin' to beat the band, and if some thin' don't happen, then I don't know! As a matter of fact, the doctor did have the better machine It was geared for higher speed, and perhaps he was the better driver. At began to creep up and up, and Miss Ida's actions showed that she was get ting nervous. As the machines ran side by side the load of straw loomed up eighty rods away. It was right in the middle of the road, and evidently intended to stay there There were deep ditches on either side of the high way, and the doctor called to the girl: "Let's slow down and call It a draw. It will be dangerous to try to pass." "You can stop." replied the girl as she looked straight ahead and shut her teeth hard. "I shall keep on!" "And I shall win!" "Gee whizz, but the Idiots are goin' to bang into me," shouted the farmer. "Whoa, there stop, stop!" In his alarm he pulled on the right hand rein and the horses and load swerved that way. That swerve re duced the speed and crowded the girl Into the ditch and the machine turned turtle. The doctor stopped as soon as he heard the craBh. and the farmer gath ered up his reins and said: "Tes, she's in the ditch there and probably as dead as a door nail, and I can't make out what ails you folks! When you see a load of straw ahead of you why In Sam Hill don't you stop?" "But you'll stop and help me?" asked the doctor. "Oh, she ain't dead after all. Hear her yelling! Only got an arm or a leg broke, and. I guess you can man age. I like to help folks, but they want this straw right away." No, Miss Ida had not been killed. She had an arm broken and received several bruises, but when the doctor had heaved the wrecked machine over she coolly said: "You saw. didn't you that I was crowded into the ditch that it wasn't due to my poor driving?" "We will discuss that later." re plied the medico with a smile. "I must set you home at once." "We will discussit now, sir. Am I as good a driver as you are?" "I I think so." "Didn't the wagon crowd me into the ditch?" "It certainly did." "And if it hadn't wouldn't I have stood a good chance of beating you?" "Y-e-s, but you are hurt. Who is your family doctor?" "We haven't any. Tou will take me home and patch me up, but not until you have admitted that it wasn't a fair race." "Well, it wasn't." "And that if my runabout can be repaired we shall try it again." "Certainly, if you wish." "And you are to tell dad that I had iierve just as much as you had." "I'll be happy to." The patient was taken home in the doctor's machine and attended to, and in due time her own runabout came back from the shop, but somehow or otner another race never came off. When she was able to ride out again the doctor made her believe that- it must be in his charge, and when she came to drive again he was too busy to race. At the end of six months farmer Henderson went home from town one day and said to his wife: "Hanner, you remember that girl and the doctor?" "Tes; they are goin' to sue you for damages and take our farm away?" "Sue nothin'. They tell me in town they are goin' to get married. They ought to give me a new wagon for bringin' it about." (Copyrighted, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.) AVall of Broken China. Mrs. Denier, wife ot Capt. John Denier, of Canfleld avenue police sta tion, has built a wall of china In her residence, 300 Dragoon avenue, and it is a question in the minds of her neigh bors whether her feat does not rival that of building the Chinese wall. Old smashed china! Laid in kal eidoscopic patterns, with a keen view to color effects and size. A very patchwork of porcelain bisnue, and glass. Heads of Dresden shepherdess es, executed in some catastrophe of dusting; triangular scraps of white and ruby glass, emerald, and amber bits of lemonade jugs long gone to perdition; heads of powdered mar quises once the proud center of a plate, now diademed with glazed crowns that once did humbler duty as a breakfast cup; umbrella knobs and broken coffee pots are imbedded in this wonderful way, among a hun dred other things. Everything lost is saved. Mrs. Denier looked at her work with satisfaction as, pointing with Just pride to the highly enameled metal ceiling of her unparalleled sun parlor and the neatly boarded varnished floor, she said: "I did it myself. Laid the floor, put four coats of paint on the ceiling, lathed the walls, put on the 'hard wall' did everything. I have saved old china for years, explained this pattern of housewives. "Some of it because it was house hold treasure and the rest because I meant to do something with the pieces I really valued some day I didn t know what. Finally, this idea came to me, and I got all my friends collecting, too. The china-wall conservatory is lined with flowering plants and palms, heat ed to the same temperature in winter as it gets in summer from its Southern exposure, and equipped with armchairs and a phonograph. Over it fly snow- white pigeons, and behind it tiny chicken peck. Many a piece, m its slow and pain ful formation, has a family history for which it stands immutable. Not an angle protrudes from the sleek coat of plaster that meets carefully with every jagged edge; the colors have been har monized with the care of a Jewel mak er. "I used to put the pieces under water to decide how to lay them," said Mrs. Denier. "They look prettier that way, and you get the effect better.

To fight and run may be all right, if a man enters a political battle and runs for office. Of course the wealthy philanthropist is fond of the poor. He made his for tune out of them. The rich man's idea of a Socialist is a man who wants to make everybody else as poor as he is.

The big disturbance which arose from the charge, made by a political enemy, that Mr. Dahlman, Democrats nominee for governor of Nebraska, had shot a man, has quieted down. Mr Dahlman graciously admits that he shot a man while young and impetuous but offers as a defense and extenuating circumstance, that the gent whom he shot was his brother-in-law. After this explanation, there is nothing mora to be said. Had Mr. Dahlman been so inconsiderate as to shoot a perfect stranger, his conduct might have been classified an reprehensible. As he kept the incident within the family we are willing to consider it closed.

t 'i t THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1910. 1 in 1 BUILD NEW SEWER clty Will Construct $30,000 Drain on West Side at Once. To Accommodate District From College Hill to Rlyer. MAX HOLES BLOWN OFF Present Main Cannot Handle In creased Tributary Sections. Kew Sewer Will Be Five Feet in Diameter of Concrete. A new five-foot sewer to handle the sewerage of the entire western portion of the city, to replace the main now in use and to be buiit at a cost of J30.000 to the property owners in this district Is being planned by W. G. Tandy, city commissioner of streets and public im provements. The district covering College Hill ad dition, Lowman Hill addition, Melrose addition, Elmhurst, Auburndale and Potwin is supplied now with a sewer fifteen inches in diameter. It is in adequate to take care of the sewerage sent to it and since the Hpbuilding of Elmhurst and the western part of the city the sanitary conditions have be come alarminK to the river districts. It takes but a small shower now to throw every manhole in this present sewer in the air and flood the streets around them. "With a big part of the residence district of Topeka emptying Into a fifteen-inch main at regular times with the domestic waste, a small shower draining the pavements fills this small outlet to overflowing. Mr. Tandy has been arranging to build this sewer for some time and en gineers have gone over the ground. Whm the final plats of the Collego Hill addition are made and the city wilt be able to tax this property for new sewers here, the plans and speci fications will be made at once and the digging should commence immediately Cost Per Lot Small. It Is figured by Mr. Tandy that there are 6,000 city lots in the new territory to be taxed for the new main. At i cost "of J30.000 it would not cost any one lot more than $5 which means 50 cents a year for the entire undertaking. The only reason this move has not been made before is on account of th Interpretation of the state lar.s regard ing the taxation on sewers. This law says that no property can be reassessed for a sewer after it has been assessed for this purpose before. The direct ef fect of this law has stunted the cause. But Mr. Tandy has gone over the matter with City Attorney Ralston and they have decided that in case a sewer can not handle the sewerage of a district and the sewer is entirely Inadequate to accommodate the peo ple in this district, a reassessment can be made. A decision of the supreme court in Kansas City upholds this new version. It has been proved that the fifteen inch sewer can not stand the work forced upon it from the above men tioned -districts. It Is thought that a taxation of the whole territory re ceiving benefits from the new main would be according to law. The city is planning on building the five-foot main from the Kansas river to Bxith avenue on the old right of way now occupied by the old sewer. If a new district was formed it would be necessary to buy a new right of way. To have two sewers going to the river with two rights of way would cost the city more than building one big main that will last for all time and accommodate the wants and needs of the city for any growth. "It Is but a question of a short time until the state board of health condemns this old sewer," said Mr. Tandy this morning. "After every rain and manhole covers are blown off and the sewerage fills the streets. This is on account of the immense pressure from the surface water water that has to be accommodated. I have figured over this new sewer plan for many weeks and feel now that we can go ahead with the creat ing of the district." GEO. CRANE'S LOADED CIGAR. Wrong Man Got It end Then the Trouble Began. When you "load" a cigar intending to play a joke on some of your friends, be careful that that cigar does not be come misplaced and also be very careful to whom you offer cigars until yoir find the "loader.' If this moral Isn't convincing enough, a true story will explain. So here goes: Everyone in Topeka knows George W. Crane he is at the head of the big printing and binding establishment on East Eighth avenue between Kansas avenue and Quincy. If anyone hap pens not to know Ooorge Crane, he surely knows Charlie Mitchell, who is secretary and superintendent of the big Crane plant. The other day "George and Charlie" put their heads together and taking a cigar from a fresh box just purchased by Mr. Crane, they drilled a little hole In It and inserted the cap a cap that would explode when the smoker had $3.00 TO $6.00 Matthew's Shoe Store 606 Kansas Avenue smoked about a quarter of an inch j irom me weea. Then they waited for the victim. (signifying waiting time.) This morning one of the best cus tomers of Crane Co. made a business call on Mr. Crane. The two sat in the private office of Mr. Crane for some time, chatting over the weather at first and gradually getting down to the preliminaries to a big job of printing and binding that the customer was planning. All went well. When it was time for the visitor to leave. Mr. Crane shook the hand of his wouldbe customer in expectation of the big job that seemed forthcoming. "By the way," said George. "I want you to try one of my new Havanas the best that can be procured. A friend of mine sent them to me from Cuba they're great." The customer was only too willing. Who wouldn't accept a cigar fresh from Cuba? Opening his desk drawer Mr. Crane found with surprise that the box was empty. He was in the act of turning to his friend and expressing the deep est regret when a happy thought struck him. "Why, I gave Charlie a few of these the other day sure, I will go to his desk and get one," thought the head of the printing house. He hastened to the desk of his superintendent and pulling open a drawer he saw a cigar there inno cent and inviting. Patting himself on the back in his mind and congratulat ing himself that he should have such .Ai, Tnoir at this time. Mr. Crane proudly handed the cigar to his patron and giving mm a maiim ut accompanied him to the door of his office. The customer left with the smoke or the fresh Cuban cigar trailing behind him like a skyrocket. George Crane, who was still think ing of the big contract he had prac tically landed, sat back in his chair with a smack of satisfaction. Suddenly he heard an explosion just outside the open window of his office. It cracked then a singing sound like a passing bullet was heard. Crane looked up just in time to see a small speck sailing across the street. Lighting on the car tracks it burned and smoked quietly. Wild thoughts ran through his brain. But wilder still came the form of an enraged man through his office door. (Signifying more

It is up to you to guess whether or not George Crane obtained the big printing contract. NEW RATE HELD UP. Another Advance in Freight Charges Is Suspended. Washington. Oct. 4. Advances In transcontinental freight charges vary ing from 5 to 10 cents a hundred pounds from points of eastern origin to Pacific coast terminals were suspended today by the interstate commerce com mission until February 6. 1911 pending an inquiry by the commission into their reasonableness. The order of suspension affects sev eral hundred interstate carriers oper ating east of the Rocky Mountains. The tariffs filed with the commission were to have become effective October 10. They apply to all commodities and class freight on westbound shipments to the Pacific coast including lumber, cement and furniture. No time has yet been fixed for a hearing as to the reasonableness of the proposed rates but it will be held pro bably late in November or December. WANT A U8I0N SCALE. Stage Hands Organization Are Nego tiating Willi Craw fords. Clyde O. Tresser. secretary of the To- feka union of stage hands, today said that .eo. C. Merrill of Kansas City, seventh vice president of the National Organiza tion of Stage Hands, had been here in conference with the management of the t hr ee Cr a wf o rd houses in an e ff o rt to agree upon a wage scale. He declared that no agreement had been reached though further efforts toward an under standing would be made. Mr. Tresner said that though there had been some correspondence regarding the difficulties of the local organization in reaching an agreement with the Craw fords no attempt was made to call out the traveling stage hands in the 'Miss No body from Starland" company, as in or der to do so authority needa must be given from headquarters. No such author ity had been obtained. Topeka stage hands, who now have a provisional organization, are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.

GAKVER IS EXCITED Sajs Thvre Is No Graft in the Board. Criticises Opinion of the Attor ney General. There has been trouble brewing for some time but It was not until last night that the insurgents and reg ulars of the school board clashed In a red hot battle of words which grad ually worked itself up to a dangerous pitch of excitement. When the smoke of the conflict had worn away it was found that the latter had won by a six to five vote, due to the absence of one of the insurgent scrappers. The presentation of a bill by A. V. Lindell, chairman of the finance com mittee which called for the payment of S2.581.41 to Spencer and Keese, contractors on the new Van Buren street school precipitated the fight. Cuthbert and Sons had furnished Spencer with cut stone for the new building and it was held by the in surgents that this was not right con sidering that Mr. Cuthbert is a mem ber of the board and the chairman of the building committee. However, the real bone of conten tion was a bill for $400 which had been presented by Gillette and Nichol son for materials supplied the board, and every member of the board knew that this bill would be presented for the approval or disapproval of the board as soon as the Spencer bill was disposed of. This is the bill which was the cause of the board's passing a resolution on the afternoon of September 9, pro hibiting any member of the board in the future from selling anything what soever to the board. Garver to the Rescue. Judge T. F. Garver was the first man to rise to his feet upon the pres entation of the Spencer bill. He start ed out by denouncing an article that was printed In the State Journal Sep tember 10 and which stated that "Hereafter the school board will do business like other bodies. No more contracts will be awarded to mem bers." "There were a whole lo. of things done by the board, at the adjourned meeting held this month that I think should have been left undone." said he. "Undue advantage was taken or the fact that some of the members were not there. The trouble arose because some of the members had an erroneous idea of what the law is. "The writeup in the State Journal was something that should not be tolerated. I don't know who wrote the article but it was pretty poor sort of Journalism to use the word 'graft.' (Then the judge looked over at the reporter wrio was present and the re porter trembled In his boots.) "In all my experience on the board I've never seen an act actuated by any dishonest motives. Because we differ in Judgment, it is no reason why a member of the board should be ac cused of grafting. "I do deprecate the fact that the board has passed a resolution which suggests graft. "There is no law against purchas ing materials from a member of the board when the board is doing what Is in the interests of the public. "The board makes a contract with Knencer who has to use special mater ials. Spencer finds that he can get materials wanted from Cuthbert for a less sum than from anyone else. It Is none of the board's business where Frank Spencer buys his cut stone. If he complies with the contract the board is bound to pay for it. Cuth bert says he isn't interested in the contract. "If the board finds it can do bet ter by buying from a member of the board It is very foolish not to buy where you can buy cheapest. Admits System Is Poor One. "I agree that as a rule boards ought not to contract with members but there are occasions when it is to the disad vantage of the board not to do so. "I appreciate the fact the section in the 'Laws Relating to thj Common Schools of Kansas' is misleading. It is entitled 'An Act to Restrain State and County Officials' and idoesn't ap ply to cities or school boards. "I am very sorry this matter came up. I am sorry that unfair notoriety and reflection came up. Tomorrow I would say let us buy where we can buy the cheapest." At this point the Judge sat down after having held the floor for about half an hour. George H- Smith: "I must say to you. Judge, you have laid a great deal of stress on one thing that was wrong. The report in the paper was false it falsified the sentiment of the meet ing. I don't know who the reporter was." The storm which followed proved that the reporter In question did not come far from hitting the nail In the head, after all. Holliday Stands His Ground. "I think, Mr. President," Baid C. K. Holliday, insurgent, "all the trouble has come just because boards state, county, city, etc have been doing just as has the board of education in Topeka, and they have arrived at dif ficulties. "You can't vote a contract Into your own hands. That isn't the worst of it. Implication goes out that you are on the board and have been furnish ing material; have an exclusive right to furnish materials. The people on the outside who want to do business with the board have a little hesitancy when it co.es to applying. "I say it is time to quit this kind of business. The law has been vio lated, and I don't care how much my friend, the judge, talks otherwise. He knows it isn't so. "It is immoral and I don't take back anything I have said. I don't think there was an unfair advantage taken at the adjourned meeting. If a man wants to dig his own grave here he can do it tonight. It isn't right; it is against the law and the high est authority in the state gives us de cision." Here Geo. H. Smith, vice presi dent of the board, presided while President S. A. Swendson took the floor. "I haven't any personal interest in the matter." he said, "but my inter est is to keep within the provisions of the law. "It is certainly against public policy to do this sort of thing not a thing that will have the support of the peo ple of Topeka. I Intend to stand by the law. Let those who are hurt go to the courts for redress. Graft is being talked on the streets. The board may be arrested some day for issuing warrants for unlawful purposes." J. W. Gleed: "There is not the slightest question on earth as to the liability of this boai'd with Mr. Spen cer. It's simply absurd." Swendson Explains Position. S. A. Swendson: "Complaints have come to me from persons who supply materials who believe it is unfair to them for members of the board to be awarded contracts. It is up to this board to see that the contractor complies with the specifications. Cuth bert is not only a chairman of a com mittee, but he has supervision of ma terial, and it is not fair. The chair man of a committee has more power than any member of a committee." Attorney General's Opinion. At this stage Swendson read the opinion of Attorney General Fred S. Jackson on the question under consid eration. The communication was ad dressed to State Superintendent E. T. Fairchild. The following questions were asked of Mr. Fairchild by the president of the school board: "First. Can the board of education legally make a contract with or pur chase supplies or material from a member of said board of education for use of the schools of the city? "Second. If not, can the board of education legally pay for material or supplies purchased from or for work done by one of its members for the schools? "Third. If the board can not legal ly make a contract with one of its members to furnish material to be used in the construction of a new building, direct, could the board legal ly permit one of its members to in directly that is, on sub-contract to furnish cut stone, brick, cement or other material for use on contract construction of a new school building? In our particular case, the sub-contractor is a member of the board and Is chairman ofthe building commit tee. As such chairman, he ha3 some supervision, at least, of the material, furnished by himself, as sub-contractor, to the contractor, for use in con struction of a new building." The questions were submitted to the attorney general and his opinion was as follows: "I find no statute which expressiy mentions members of the board of edu cation, but paragraph 955 of the gen eral statutes of 1909 prohibits any elec tive of appointive officer or servant of a city to be a party to, or pecuniarily in terested in any contract, job or piece of work which may be let by the city, and any such contract shall be ab solutely null and void, etc. And no of ficer or servant of the city, while hold ing such positions, shall sell any com modity or service of any kind or char acter to such city; and said paragraph provides for the removal from office of any city officer who shall become con cerned, directly or indirectly, in any benefit, profit or pecuniary advantage upon any questions submitted and pro ceedings upon which said officer may be called upon to vote or act officially. "There is another statute which pro hibits county and state officers from being Interested in any contracts over which they have any control. "A member of the schol board in a city of the first class Is a school dis trict officer, and In a sense is a city of ficer in that he Is to be elected at the city elections. See paragraph 7555 of the general statutes of 1909. "I am of the opinion that contract.! between boards of education and mem bers thereof are illegal and void as against public policy. On moral grounds there is just as much reason for prohibiting a member of the board of education from contracting, directly or indirectly, with the school board is there is in prohibiting any city officer from being interested in any contract made by the city council and upon which he has a right to vote. In my judgment no school 'board should enter into such contract nor pay out any money upon such contract." Garter Criticises Opinion. "It was evidently written without very much consideration," remarked Judge Garver. "The statute makes the board of education an independent cor poration. The city has no more to do with the board of education than lt has with the street railway company." "This is not the supreme court," broke in President Swendson. "You seem to think you know more than the supreme court," retorted Gar ver. "I resent that kind of talk." replied Swendson,' in no calm tone of voice. "Cut out personalities," cried one of the members of the board, and then there was comparative quiet for a few seconds. "There can't be any question as to the point of law." continued Garver. "As sure as the sun shall arise tomor row the board will have to pay this bill. This talk ought to lead the peo ple to believe that we are a lot of scoundrels. Tired of Law Books. Holliday: "The only argument the judge can give is that we are an hon orable body, and the Judge knows it. I don't see why some men are so con tinually eager to get money out of the board. I am getting tired of having law books brought in at meetings. "It isn't right. It isn't decent, isn't moral to pay these debts and you know it. We are making a Holy show of ourselves. The people do talk graft." Smith: "I was in favor of cleaning the slate and starting anew, but after hear ing this discussion I am in favor of letting the courts settle it. Mrs. C. J. Evans: "There is a critic ism made by the people in regard to this matter. I kept my eyes open for graft before I was a member of the board and I heard considerable talk. "I don't think that it is a good plan to make a habit of letting contracts to members of the board. I hope from now on we will have a clean slate." C. C. Nicholson: "I didn't know any thing about the bill until I read the funeral' in the paper. My partner handled the proposition of supplying the board with materials. A vote was then taken and the mo tion to allow the Spencer bill was car ried by a 6 to 5 vote, those votm for the resolution being C. C. Nicholson, Mrs. C. J. Evans, James Cuthbert, T. F. Garver. J. W. Gleed. Dr. R. Magee, and those against it. S. R. Kutz. George H. Smith, C. K. Holliday, A. V. Lindell, and S. A. Swendson. The Gillette and Nicholson bill was also allowed.

When hard headed business men spend approximately $2,350,416.50 for business buildings and residences in a period of a year and are still plan ning and building, the young man, the man with small capital, will un doubtedly take the cue and invest his savings in that same city. Topeka has never offered a better opportunity to the young man for em ployment and investment than today. When sound, substantial citizens tie up their money in Topeka enterprises and buy, sell and exchange with suc cess, it is the best indication that the city is enjoying a growth that will not cease. The Mills building, the New Eng land building, the new Santa Fe office building, the Gordon building soon to be started, the Warren M. Crosby building and the erection of a dozen smaller business buildings indicate pronounced prosperity. Out in the resider.ee portions of the city new houses and good ones, too, are bris tling up through the sylvan sur roundings, furnishing comfortable homes for Topeka's increasing popu lation. The west and southwest portions of the city is the haven of home build ers. Within a year's time, a mam moth sewer will be constructed in the west portion of the city and College B. addition and Elmhurst will be im mediately built up. People are wait ing to see that improvement started. Mayor Billard says the contract for that sewer will probably be let by December 1 and completed as soo as possible. Already. J100.000 has been put into houses alone in Elm hurst. Forty homes, all costing on an average of $2,5.00, have been built there, occupying a tract of ten acres of lots. Taking all improvements. new homes, sewer, city water, gas. cement sidewalks and grading, there has been expended In Elmhurst im provements 1165,000. All improve ments and new homes have been made and built in strict conformity to the rules governing construction work In Elmhurst. Every home built or to be built in Elmhurst is exclusive and convenient: this on account of the fact that but one house may be built on two lots. If Elmhurst continues to grow as It has in the past year, young man." said N. B. Burge as he discarded the best end of a cigar in order to em phasize his enthusiastic prediction. within five years every lot In Elm hurst will be built upon. "That sewer is going in out there right away, the Elmhurst syndicate will file a petition in a few days with the city commissioners for the pav ing of Mulvane street and College avenue from Huntoon street to Mun son avenue and the grading and curb ing of Garfield avenue. Boswell street, Jewell street. Woodward and Grand avenues. "These improvements are goi:!r In right away. They will stimulate the building of homes in the sightly addi tions In the west portion of the citv. The Elmhurst syndicate has 150 lots lert yet, nice. High terraced lots, the best in Elmhurst. They are selling them for a small payment down, $10. and $5 for each lot per month.

BIG REWARD IS OUT For the Arrest of Those Guilty of Dynamite Outrage. DetectiTf s Are Working San Francisco for Clues. Los Angeles, Oct. 4. The seventh body and part of a backbone have been recovered from the ruins of the Times building. Several bodies are known to be pinned beneath t' e mass of twisted steel girders but it will be impossible to recover them until this steel has been removed. It is impossible to iden tify six of the bodies recovered. The nonunion men employed at the Llewellyn Iron works were thrown into a panic yesterday afternoon by the dis covery of what was supposed to be an infernal machine in a brick warehouse near the plant, but which later turned out to be a sort of grim joke. Some one had arranged a small electric buz zer, with a clock and two dry cell bat teries attached, in a tin box and secret ed it in the warehouse. The continued buzzing finally attracted attention and the apparatus was rushed to the police station, but the officers found that it was not dangerous. It is -supposed some one was trying to scare the work men. Under the stimulus of rewards aggre gating $100,000. hundreds of men po licemen and private citizens here, and in all coast cities, are searching for clews that may lead to the arrest of the band of conspirators held responsi ble for the blowing up of the Times building last Saturday and the attempt ed destruction of the homes of General Harrison Gray Otis and F. J. Zeehan delaar, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association. Police and civil officials believe there were at least three men concerned in the outrage and the city has placed a price of $10,000 upon the head of each. The county voted an additional re ward of $5,000 for every man captured and convicted and the Merchants and Manufacturers' association decided to offer a reward of $50,000. The entire city has been thoroughly aroused. All classes are working to bring to justice the dynamiters. One newspaper that has been friendly to la bor printed a first page editorial de manding that strikes now in progress be called off in view of the strictures directed at the unions in connection with the explosion. The State Feder ation of Labor, in convention here, pro bably will take action looking toward the appointment of investigators to work in connection with the committee named by city officials. Chief of Police Galloway said he ex pected to have one or all of the bomb conspirators in custody soon. William J. Burns, former head of the detective force engaged in the graft cases of San Francisco, is at work in San Francisco, in company with Los Angeles detectives, threshing out the theory that the dynamite found in the Infernal machine at Zeehandelaar's home had been purchased near San Francisco by men named Leonard, Bry son and Morris. Search for the dynamiters who de stroyed the Times building was re sumed today in all the country be tween San Francisco and San Diego and the ocean and San Joaquin. While there has been no cessation In the search for the conspirators here, the police are more confident than ever that the hunt in San Fran cisco will produce important results. A report was received by the detec tives today that the launch Peerless, on which the conspirators are sup posed to have shipped the dynamite from Giant, Cal., had been traced from San Pablo to Avita, on San Francisco bay. According to the in formation, the launch was met at the latter place by an automobile, which Immediately started southward. Messages were sent to police and constables in most of the coast and valley towns asking for information regarding all motor car touring par ties seen traveling southward since September 2 3. The police here don't think the dynamite wax brought southward in an automobile: that would have been dangerous. They are convinced a launch brought the explosives to some point on the coast near San Pedro, while some of the conspirators came out in the motor car. The funerals of Churchill Harvey Elder, night edi tor of the Times, and J. W. Reaves, the young stenographer who met death at his post, were held today. The certificates of death issued by Coroner Hartwell to permit the burial of Elder and Reaves read as follows: "Death resulted from burns and in juries caused by an explosion, the origin of which is yet to be deter mined." Abandoned Iaunch Found. San Francisco. Oct. 4. It 9 re ported the launch, which, under the name of Peerless, carried dynamite from Giant, has been found, aban doned in the marshes near Alvlso.

Topeka sportsmen have organized a gun club to be known as the Cherrv Circle Gun club and leased the Roller pond and swampy tract about four miles northwest of the city.

(Continued on Page Six.) of transportation matters believes that capitalization has anything- to do with fixing rates: that notion was long ago exploded." The only other excuse tor physical valuation of railroads is in order that Government may "pass laws limiting capitalization. As to this, again I do not object as a railroad man or as representing the Santa Fe, which has never issued a security except for cash which was invested honestly in the property without a single dollar of graft or perquisite or "rake-off" for anybody. My objection is simply as a citizen and tax payer. Cost of "Physical Valuation." It is proposed that a Government, already justly criticised for its ex travagance, shall spend a sum estimat ed at twenty millions of dollars for the purpose of ascertaining the value of the railroads and the valuation, (sup posing it be accurate, in the first place), will be worthless a few months after it is finished, because some of tne properties will appreciate in value while others will depreciate. I But you. and the estimable gentle- men wno participated with you in the Topeka conference, reply: "Granting that the valuation when ascertained may have no bearing on the question of rates, we- propose it in order that luture issues of capital may be limited by law." I do not quite see the con nection, but let us see how this limita tion -of capitalization would work. I know of a territory hiore than one hundred miles long and fifty to seventy-five miles wide, where the- soil is good and agricultural conditions fav orable, but lacking transportation, the average distance to the railroad bein.-? perhaps forty miles the population scanty, the land for the most part un cultivated and worth six or seven dol lars per acre. Suppose the land own ers want to induce capital to build a road through this section and bring U In touch with the rest of the world: they go to those who have money and state their case; they describe th? needs of their country, their own necessities and the certainty that the railroad will more than double the value of their farm lands, besides creating towns and attracting settlers and when the capitalist inquires what are the chances of profit for those who risk their money In such a ventur with the certainty that there can be no return whatever till the country is set tled and the business created, the an swer is that the state or nation will fix the amount of stock or bonds that may be Issued at the cost of the prop erty, but will assume none of the risks. Seriously, governor, does any sane man believe that those who have money will invest under such conditions? Put End to Building. The passage of laws limiting issu-'S of capital to the cost of the undertak ing would put an end to railroad build ing, except so far as the existing rail roads having established credit might be willing to build side lines or feeders, not because the lines would be profit able in themselves, but for their value as feeders to roads already built. Here again I am not speaking from self in terest or on behalf of the Santa Fe company, because the passage of such a law would not hurt us but would ef fectually prevent the danger that any body will build any road to compete with us. Here again my objection to this scheme to limit capitalization is as a citizen and not as a railroad man. It seems to me not the function of gov ernment to attempt to protect either investors or gamblers, except in the en joyment of their rights under the con stitution and the laws. In the few instances where railroads have been over capitalized the invest ing public has generally been able to fairly size up the real value of the real property and to place its own value on the securities regardless of their face value. Thus we see the stocks and bonds of these over capitalized roads selling at a great discount, and if you take their value in the market it will be found that in most cases it closely approximates the real value. It Is doubtful in my mind whether it is the function of the government to protect the investor against himself. Moreover, the government is likely to place itself In a false attitude by au thorizing an issue of securities which may correctly represent the actual cash investment and yet be in excess of the earning power of the enterprise. Thus a road may cost $30,000 per mile and still be unable to earn interest -n such a sum, and an investor having bought the securities might claim tint as the government had approved tha issue its faith was pledged thereto. Tf the government approves any given is sue. if it undertakes to limit, should it not also guarantee returns? These question; naturally occur to anyone familiar with the subject, but as be fore stated I have no official objection to the valuation Idea. it is simply question of the extent to whic'i paternalism in government should be carried. Santa Fe AVage Increases. I have noted that a sa good politi cian you have not overlooked the op portunity to try and prejudice the rail way employee against his company as you say that "one of the principal rea sons urged by the railroads for the advance In freight rates is the propo sition that the employees should be paid higher wages. If they (the rail roads) are honest in this contention why have these employees always been forgotten when the railroad companies had a melon to cut of 10, 20 or 30 mil lion dollars surplus earnings." The Santa Fe has cut no melons but has advanced its wage scale for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, as against the previous fiscal year over two mil lion dollars, and we are now confronted with demands from other branches of our service which, if acceded to, will contemplate a further increase of $2,500,000 per year. Now, governor, the railroad man and' a vast number of thinking men in other walks of life fullv appreciate and realize that the very best of well managed railroads are confronted with the most serious prob lem, namely, how can they accord the service which thev would like to give and which the public feels that they are entitled to? How can they meet the constantly increasing bills? How can they meet the demands for in creased wages, which demands. in many instances, are by the managing officials not considered unreasonable when the increased cost of livin which confronts the employee is taken into consideration. How are the de mands of the various municipalities through which railroads operate for track elevations, new depots, street pavings, etc.. to be met? I ask, gover nor, how we are to do all these things if the price of the only article which we have to offer for sale, namely, transportation, is to remain as it is today? In conclusion, I appreciate your re marks that yourself and your con ferees of the Topeka conference intend to accord the railroads decent treat ment, and in all seriousness I beseech that your acts do not belie your words. Respectfullv yours. E. P. RIPLEY Keiffer pears $1 bushel. Cope's. MORE IN THE SCHOOLS. Enrollment llgners Show Gain of S05 Over First Two Weeks Last Year.

LOSS IN AVIATION. Principal British and Continental Meetings Financial Failures. Washington, Oct. 4. The principal British and continental aviation meet ings this year resulted in financial loss to their promoters aggregating $375, 000, according to a report to this gov ernment by Consul J. N. McCunn of Glasgow, Scotland. The losses were distributed among aviation meetings as follows. Lanark, $40,000; r Bournemouth, $50,000; Blackpool, $75,000; Rheims. $100,000, and Nice. $110,000. At the Lanark, Scotland, meet up wards of 200,000 persons paid admis sion. Most of the air men lost money at the big meets and the only result of value, which recent flights produced in return for the great expenditures was the popular interest aroused in the science.

Since the opening of the season there has not been such a well balance bill at the Majestic as the one this week. "Pals," a comedy drama of college life, has its angles of -seriousness as well as laughter and it fits the emotions of every character of playgoer. Orval Spurrier and Ira Herring play the titular roles "Pals:". Each has a good chance and fits admirably into his place. Roy E. Hilliard has another of those charcater parts In which he ex cels. He plays Martin Underwood. th-? Black Crook, a consumptive and drug fiend. Albert Ferguson as Georgte Wall plays to real laughter. Robert Blaylock and James Dennis appear in small parts, though they show well. Ed-ward Ferguson and Miss Gene Fulmer show to advantage in "rube" parts, dressing them ludicrously. Miss Clara Lemar as Mies Elizabeth Tuttle also is good. Miss Ruth Robinson stands out in role of the wronged girl and plays the part consistently and convincingly. Miss Russell as Dora Winston is the favorite as usual. At the Novelty Through an almost superabundance of singing, the vaudeville at the Nov elty this week pierces into the risibili ties of the audience, scoring even more laughs than usual. Will O'Clare, an Irish singer having extraordinary stage presence and a good repertoire of song, takes well with the audience. J. Edward Pierce and Marie Roslyn, billed as "The Operatic Toreadors" and presenting a singing act in character, also score. Perhaps due to the fact that Miss Roslyn is just recovering from a severe cold her work at the opening matinee was not of her best, nevertheless, the act showed to advantage. Thomas P. Hoier Company present a comedy sketch adapted from the Danish by Hoier. It has an uproari ously funny appeal. Hoier formerly was with Roy Crawford, when the junior head of the Crawford. Phil ley Zehrung circuit was trouping in a road show "Too Much Money." Hoier says, and Crawford doesn't deny it, that the bill was a misnomer. Allen Cormier are good in a com edy sister act which seems to get its due appreciation. Miss Johnny Ray and Harry Clark sing the illustrated song, pleasing those in attendance. The bill closes with moving pictures. "Squaw Man" Cominji to Grand. When the curtain rises on the third act of "The Squaw Man." Edwin Mil ton Boyle's play of ranch life in the west which comes to the Grand Sat urday, matinee and night, the press agent says, the audience will be seen to gasp. The scene is said to ba so realistic, one can almost imagine being out in the burning sun on the sandy plains of Utah, with nothing in sight but cactus .plants and alkali water; and when the cowboys are seen coming In to the ranch yard, dusting themselves, one is almost sure that this is not a play, but a reality. HUNT PROVES FATAL Ten Day Season in Colorado Brings Death to Two. Denver, Oct. 4. Two fatalities have been reported thus far in the big game hunts in this state, the ten day season for which opened Saturday. While stalking a wounded deer eighteen miles southwest of Colorado Springs, Fred Ragle, 30 years old, was shot and killed by his companion, Adam Dingle. The men were on op posite sides of a gulch and when Din gle saw a movement in the bushes he fired. John Hollenbeck. 30 years old, was shot with his own gun at Barella Mesa, 32 miles southeast of Trinidad and died instantly. Details of the accident have not been received.

STOCKS The opening movement of prices of stocks today was uncertain and irregular and within a very narrow range. Northern Pacific fell and Mineapolis, St. Paul and Salt Ste Marie advanced These were the most conspicuous changes. The deal ings were small. Higher prices in some of the standard stocks brought out realizing orders, the, reaction reaching a point in Union Pa cific, Reading and Chesapeake and Ohio and causing the list generally to sag be low yesterday's closing. Pacific Telephone advanced 1. The stock market was influenced by technical considerations. Professional op erators sold stock on the ground that re action was due on account of the extent of the duration of the preceding advance. The supply proved discouraging to the efforts to bid up prices. Such an effort was made in the second hour but prices yielded to a lower level than before, Wis consin declined 1 and Erie second pre ferred; American Sugar and Western Union 1. Hocking Valley rose 15; Pacific Telephone 3; Philadelphia company 2; Westinghouse Electric 1 and American Smelting 1. Bonds were irregular. When the decline culminated traders bid up some of the important stocks a good fraction but the demand soon ceased and the dealings became very dull. West inghouse Electric gained 2 and N. Y. Air Brake 2. Active stocks ":were virtually immovable but a number of the minor stocks were strong. Allis Chalmers preferred rose 4; General Electric 2; American Tobacco pre ferred 1 and American Sugar and Amer ican Woolen 1. Xew York 3Ioney. New York, Oct. 4.

There has been a decid ed decrease in activity in the local wool market during the past fw days although small mills are still replenishing their bins. Iarge manufacturers appeared to have covered their pressing needs and the foreign demand has almost ceased. Prices are well maintained and dealers show a disposition to hold for a rise. The majority of transactions have been in small lots, with the bulk of trading in territory wools. Montana stapie sells at 23c in grease with 5Sc for half blood cleaned.

Banking laws and needed legislation protecting banking institutions were the impor tant themes at the convention of the American Bankers' association today. The convention was called to order by President Lewis E. Pierson, presi dent of the Irvine National Exchange bank of New York City. Addresses of welcome were made by W. H. Hol liday, president of the Los Angeles Clearing House association, and Mayor Alexander of Los Angeles. Governor Gillett sent a message of regret, stating he would toe unable to attend the convention because of a special session of the legislature, which is being held in Sacramento. The morning session was devoted to annual addresses and reports of Presi dent Pierson. General Secretary Farnsworth. Treasurer P. C. Kaufman and General Counsel Thomas B. Patton. Much interest in the coming expo sition celebrating the opening of the Panama canal in 1915 is being shown by the delegates to the convention and lobbying by representatives of Han Francisco and New Orleans fs waxing warm. Frank L. Brown has opened San Francisco headquarters and is making a campaign among the delegates. Sol Wexter. New Orleans banker, is working diligently for the Crescent city.

SHFTS A POOR REVOLVFTt SHOT. But Mary Grimes Is Bound Over For Trying to Kill Nate Williams. Mary Grimes, a negro woman liv ing at 231 Jeffeison street, this morn ing was bound over to the' district court for trial by Judge Simon in the Court of Topeka on a charge of at- Your New Fall Shoes Are Ready We ordered your size in sev eral different new lasts and have them here for you now. The handsome new autumn styles will appeal to your tastes and the stury, serviceable leathers w-ill bring you back next year. That's the way we've got it fig ured out. Coma and try your new shoes on now. They are $3, $3.50. S4, $4.50 and $5, and really worth it. I a2 tempting to kill her neighbor, Nathan Williams. The incident took place September 1. Just what Williams was doing across his line witnesses did not seem to know but they said he was known to be a "woman fighter The first count against Mary Grimes was that she bounced a cuspidor off his head and that the receptacle was heavy and used with the intention of producing eternal sleep. Judge Simon did not hear enough evidence to hold the woman on that count. On the second count, however, he found excuse enough. From the evidence it appeared that the visitor was keeping hid as best he could behind a piano box, but that every time his woolly head popped out anywhere she shot at it with a 38 cal. revolver. Three shots were said to have been fired. Judge Simon decided to leave further de tails to the higher court. EXIT ONE DITCH. Gas Company Will Kradicate Clay Street Eyesore. The people of the city who have been kicking about the sink in the Clay street pavement from Seventh to Eleventh streets will find relief. W. G. Tandy, city commissioner, has made arrangements with the Consum ers' Light. Heat Power company to take up this pavement ove- their ga3 mains, fill in the ditch and replace it. matting the paving as level as the day it wasj5uilt. The depression in the Clay street paving was caused by the natural set tling of the ground over the gas com pany's mains. The mains were laid along the east side of Clay street about a year before the pavement was built. A short time afterward the gas main ditch settled and the pavement fell with it. Technically, the city could not hold the gas company responsible for the sink in the pavement. It was the duty of the city's contractors to roll the ground thoroughly before the pavement was laid. On the other hand, it was the duty of the gas company to tamp and pack their ditches in such a man ner that they would not sink. At any rate, the pavement will be re laid and the gas company will pay the bill. It is a diplomatic action on the part of Commissioner Tandy and a charitable action on the part of the Consumers' Light, Heat Power com pany. IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. Lorinier Committee Wrestles With a Constitutional Question. Chicago, Oct. 4. Whether Minority Leader, Lee O'Neill Browne, State Sen ator Broderick and Representative Robert Wilson, each of whom is under indictment on charge of bribery or conspiracy to bribe, can avail them selves of the constitutional privilege of refusing to give self incriminating testimony is a question still undecided by the Lormer committee today. The question has been raised in behalf of State Senator Broderick who for a few minutes yesterday was on the stand and the ruling, it is believed, will be applicable to Browne and Wilson. An early adjournment was taken by the committee today and in executive session the senators will wrestle with the problem of whether to admit the testimony of Broderick or excuse him until a later session after he has been tried in Sangamon county on the charge of having bribed State Senator Holstlaw to vote for Lorimer. The morning session was devoted to examining minor rebuttal witnesses for the defense. The principal witness was Representative Geo. W. Alschuler of Aurora, who testified he watched Mi nority Leader Browne while the vote which elected Lorimer was in progress and that Representative George W. Myers did not go to Browne's desk as Myers testified. BANK LAW IS IN FORCE. Judge Pollock Today Enters Order Dissolving Injunction. Kansas City, Oct. 4. Federal Judge Pollock in the United States circuit court in Kansas City, Kansas, today made an order directing that the man date of the United States court of ap peals dissolving the injunction against the operation of the Kansas bank de posit guaranty law be spread on the records of his court. The order was made upon the application of Fred S. Jackson, attorney general of Kansas. Because of the order the law which has been suspended several months by injunction proceedings is again in force. Judge Pollock granted the injunc tion that suspended the operation of the law. An appeal is to be taken to the X'nited States supreme court. At the time of the suspension of the law 398 of the 900 state banks of Kan sas had taken advantage of its pro visions. AT A RATE HEARING.

BOOSTING NEW ORLEANS Veteran Newt pa per Man Working to Get Panama Exposition. In the interest of New Orleans as the logical point for holding the World's Panama Exposition, J. L. S. Travis, a veteran newspaper man of Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas is in Topeka. Mr. Travis contends that Kansas is vitally interested in the hold ing of the exposition in New Orleans as it is the nearest point where its ex hibits could be shown. He cites that Kansas is 900 miles nearer to the southern city than to any other where the Panama exposition could be held. Mr. Travis further declares that the exposition comes at a time when the people of the northeast and the north west are looking for a better soil, a more excellent climate and more room. He says that a Kansas exhibition at New Orleans would be of incalcula ble value to the state, inasmuch as it would show the wonderful products and resources. In discussing the exposition, Mr. Travis said: "Being within two and one-half days' travel of New Orleans, the exposition is within the reach of the great class of well-to-do, salaried men and men in ordinary circumstances who live in Kansas. As the exposition is to be strictly educational in its scope, this is the class for which the exhibits will have especial appeal. "No state in the Mississippi valley is in a better condition to make an ex hibit or exploitation of progress and development in the last 20 years, than Kansas. I believe that four-fifths of the people in the state today would be willing to instruct their representatives to vote for New Orleans for the world's exposition. Some of them pre fer San Francisco because of business interests but none object to New Or leans.'' SCOTT IN THE RACE. Kansas Congressman May B Presi dent of Dry Farming Congress. Spokane, Oct. 4.

Mulvane and Mrs. G. J. Mulvane, asking $8,000 for their alienation of her affections, which he has threatened to bring since the divorce was granted. In his petition for damages, the baseball player charges that his wife's parents immediately upon learning of their marriage began their work of alienating her affection by "represent ing to her that he was unworthy and unfit; that he was incapable of loving her and treating her as she should be treatd. and that he did not stand well enough socially to be her husband." He further alleges "that they repre sented to her that they were possessed of considerable wealth and that if she would leave him they would leave her a large inheritance; but that they would disinherit her if she refused to leave him." He and his wife were deeply in love and very affectionate, he asserts, but, due to the Influence of her parents, all that love of hers died out and she abandoned him July 2, 1910, in Kan sas City, Mo., where they were living !t ISSfO f lllllBliiii; (Ej Botten. at the time, and came to Topeka to her parents.

Kilmaurs King, humane officer, to day received a setback in the city court when Judge Simon found that Mrs. Mary Frampton of 219 West Gordon had the right to punish her 14-year-old daughter for staying out at night or for refusing to study at school. Ruth Frampton is a chubby faced little girl and would rather play and have her own way. She flunked in arithmetic and refused to take her papers home to her mother. That was the specific incident of insubordina tion which her mother intended to punish with a small switch when the girl ran out of the house and over to Mr. King with the story that her mother was "beating her up." The girl admitted she had told a false hood and was sorry. But the humane officer had had the arrest made and wanted to see it through. James Mc Clure, attorney for Mrs. Frampton, easily produced evidence to clear her. KAUFMAN IS TO WED. Former Topeka Star Pitcher Will Lead Miss Lois MeCollum to Altar.

Kaufman announc ed his intentions yesterday to his team mates and although the day has not been definitely set, the plunge into the matrimonial waters will be before the week-end. "The news of Richard's approaching nuptials was not a surprise to the Drummers, who were expecting to hear at any time that "Bolivar" had signed up with Manager Dan Cupid. "The bride-to-be is a member of To peka's younger set. the daughter of Mrs. A. C. MeCollum. and a young wo man of many accomplishments. Kauf man is the son of well-to-do parents who live on a farm near Marshfield. Mo.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4S 1910. nir onA nxr Anniversary Discount One year ago we came to Topeka and opened the "Outlook," Ladiess ready-to-wear shop. We came with a firm belief in the city and its people. We observed that Topeka generally were appreciative and discrimi nating for things of merit, of style and of up-to-dateness, and yet were not unmindful of price fairness. We started business in Topeka with well founded and and supreme confidence in our ability to appeal .to such a class of people. That we have proven such efficiency is clealy evinced by the scores of enthusiastic pa trons who, after-critical comparison, are jubilant over qualities and values shown here. In order to show our appreciation for the way in which Topeka people have recognized true merit and real value, we are offering a special duction of 10 per cent on any here tomorrow. Our garments are in fit, in workmanship and material and we guar antee perfect fit without extra charge. The regular prices are low, but in per cent reduction means un approached value. Why not buy the new Fall suit, cloak or gown tomorrow and take advantage of this grand opportunity? ft SHApma RDOUCH. .imHi i cm mm mrm 7SS Kansas AyeTopeka. Kan. qJociet: The hall and library of the J. W. Going home this morning, though not set in order for visitors, was an inter esting place for visitors to be. Three big trunks stood open in a half-unpacked condition, and peeping from their depths were shimmering silks, filmy laces, embroidered linens, and dozens of things to charm the lover of the beautiful and the unique. Mrs. Go ing. Miss Marguerite Going, and Mr. Dale Going returned late last night from a five mouths' trip abroad, and the journey from New York to Topeka. fraught with all the inconvenienc of late trains, encounters with custom house officers, etc., made them glad to give up their first day at home to their friends who dropped in to wel come them back. Mrs. Going, who has traveled in Europe before, made up her own itinerary before she left Topeka, af ter a careful study of maps and charts, apportioning the time to be spent at apportioning the time to be spent at each place and the srines to be visited. Owing to the perfect railway service they never missed a train and never reached a town behind their schedule. They sailed from the States In May and went tiirect to Naples, and from there they made the circuit of interesting cities of Italy, visiting the famous Blue Grotto of Capri, the leaning tower of Pisa, Home, Florence, and Sorrento. Miss loing insists that she knows that they went through a million cathedrals, and that her brother declared he would never go to look through another church as long as he lived. The English chan nel was living up to its reputation the day they crossed. It was the rough est of the rough, and the usual result followed. Miss Going tells how her brother was limply acknowledging an introduction to a stunning young wo man, when suddenly he felt the "call of the rail," and throwing politeness to the winds, he fortunately reached the point of desire in the nick of time. At the landing the Sunflower people, who Journeyed across together, had so changed in appearance that they gazed with bilious eyes at each other, try ing to penetrate the mask of green coloring that adorned their counten ances, to the feature of their dear ones underneath. Safely across the travelers- Jordan, the Irish lakes, the Pas sion Flay, London, and all the glories of northern Europe were gone over, tnd they all look more or less like the guide book says they will. Now Mrs. ioing had been told that each one could bring home foreign goods to the amount of $300 without duty, but upon their return, she learned that the ma terial must all be made up into wear able clothing. Nevertheless, she con scientiously made up a complete list of her purchases and submitted it to the officer, only to be told that the goods -would have to be assessed as much as J150. Considering that she had just about money enough to get home on, the fine looked big. So she arranged to have the assessment made in Kan sas City, and meanwhile wired her husband to meet her there "with some change." However, another traveler in the party discovered that she had lost weight running around over Eur ope, and accordingly she needed noth ing so much as a handsome embroider ed chiffon gown to help fill out the sagging places about the top of her traveling skirt. Presto! one gorgeous gown was converted at once into what? A bustle, if you please. But it was unnecessary entirely, as the suitcases were quickly opened and shut again and passed on without charge. Perhaps because one of the party brought out a Heidelberg stein that played a tune and a miniature Swiss house that was also a music box. for the entertainment of the officer, though probably he would have pre ferred that they contain Schlitz and CESS! 1" WW" WW t -J 4 Li J i xa m n anniversary re-Y ?hase you make purch; supreme in style.

Mr. Thomas Leslie and Miss Anna Volk of St. Paul. Minn., were married at Christ Episcoiml church, of St. Paul last week. Mr. Leslie formerly lived in Topeka, where he was employed at Robinson Marshall's. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Leslie, of 1277 Western avenue.

H. Weger gave a recep tion on the lawn Monday evening. The table of the bridal party was elaborately decorated with pink roses and ferns. Festoons of ferns formed a canopy over the table. Electric lights were strung in the form of wedding bells. The house was decorated with placards designed to instruct the new lyweds concerning "points of interest" along the new journey they are to travel in company. The bride cut the wedding cake, which was made by her mother, Mrs. Litch. with pretty ceremony. The hostess' sister-in-law and guest. Mrs. M.

SANTAFEIN LIST One of Few Railroads to Pass the 100 Million Mark. Earnings Have Increased and Fo Have Expenses. INCOME S107,543,250. Operation for the Year Cost 75 Millions. Property Is in Excellent Con dition Physically. New York, Oct. 4. With an increase or 12 million dollars in its gross reve nues last year, the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company passed into tne class or the few big railroad sys tems in the united States that take in more than 100 million dollars annually. and with the additions of 16S.75 miles to its main track during the year, it barely missed getting into the 10,000 mile class, for it directly operated a,bi.o miles. Including the separately operated lines, the total mileage of the system on June 30, 1910, was 10,969.68 miles. These figures are from the an nual report of the company, to be made public today. The total operating revenues of the company for the year were $104,993, 194.67, and the income from other sources was $2 550,055, making a gross income from all sources of $107,543, 150.16. an increase of 12.7 per cent over the figures for the preceding year. The operating expenses, taxes, rentals and other charges were $75,133,314.54, show ing an increase slightly greater than the gain in gross income, and the net earnings. $32,409,935. were IVi million dollars leBs than those of the preceding year. After paying interest on bonds, 5 per cent dividends on preferred stock and 6 per cent on common stock, 4 mil lion dollars set aside for additions and betterment and $700,000 for the fuel re serve fund, the company showed a sur plus for the year of only $365,846. During the year $43,959,000 in common stock was issued in exchange for con vertible bonds that were-retired. The present capital stock is $165,518,500 common and $114,173,730 preferred. The outstanding funded debt is $302-004,951 making an aggregate capitalization of nearly 583 million dollars, equal to $58,- 000 a mile. The net increase in ca.pital account during the year was $33,616,000. Increase in Revenues. The gross operating revenues of the company have increased from 30 million dollars in 1897 to 105 millions in 1910. The average revenue per passenger per mile was 2.056 cents, and the aver age freight rate per ton per mile was l.Olo cents. The report shows that of the com pany's total carload tonnage last year. 0.68 per cent was products of agri culture, 7.11 per cent livestock and animal products, 29.28 per cent pro- duets of mines, 12.16 per cent pro ducts of forests, 18.31 per cent man ufactures and .68 of one per cent other commodities. Less than car load freight constituted 6.94 per cent, and company's inter-system tonnage 4.84 per cent. The company owns 1,921 locomo tives, 1.375 passenger train cars, 57,- 781 freight train cars, and 495 work equipment cars. The losses and damage to freight and property, and injuries to persons cost the company over 2 million dol lars. Property In Good Condition. The only comment in the report be yond the routine statements of facts and figures, is the following: "Your property is in excellent con dition physically and the company has made provision for its present financial needs. However, in view of the un settled economic condition of the coun try, and the impossibility of accurate ly forecasting the trend of current events, especially as applied to the railroad interests, your directors feel that it is necessary to proceed with caution, even as to those improvements and extensions which are most desir able from the standpoint of public wel fare, and which are imperatively de manded." The total cash in the treasury of the company and in banks is nearly 35 million dollars. RADLEY OUT OF IT. Only Foreigner Entered in Aviation Race Will Not Fly. Chicago. Oct. 4.

Haydea" 727 Kansas Avenue Jewelers Opticians EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "I'm so discouraged," said the sick lady across the street. "Here I've been dieting and doing without candy and eating eggs, and taking exercises and cold baths, and doing everything else that doctor tells me to, for six months, and I'm nowhere near well. I don't believe he's much good." The sick lady across the way broke down after six years of overwork. For six years she worked in an office where she had to work overtime three or four days in the week. For six years she abused her stomach by hur ried breakfasts, followed by wild dashes for the train, and frequent cold and hasty lunches at noon. For six years she failed to take enough exer cise and outdoor air. At the end of the time she broke down completely. And now after six months of hy gienic living she is complaining be cause she is not entirely well yet. It takes two or three days to tear down a house that it takes as many weeks to build. Just why should one expect to re verse the ratio and buili up one's body house in about one-hundredth the time it took to tear it down. And yet, how many men and women lose faith in their doctors because they can't accomplish that miracle! Does it seem exactly sane or reason able or fair? I heard a woman making a very extravagant purchase the other day. Or, rather, I heard her telling about it. It didn't cost her over fifty cents, but I think it was one of the most ex travagant purchases I ever heard about. This was the way of it: We were on shipboard. The lady's 10 year old son was sick and the stewardess, had advised castor oil. "Didn't he make an awful fuss about taking it?" someone questioned. "Oh, no," she answered, cheerily. "1 suppose he would have, but when he starts to make a fuss. I always tell him I'll give him fifty cents if he will be good, so that's what I did today." Many things lose their value if they are bought. Friendship is one of them and obedience is another. The woman who buys her child's obedience instead of receiving it as her due is making a most extravagant purchase. because she is laying up trouble for herself in every cent she spends that way. I was telling someone of this inci dent and my feelings about it. "But I think it was nice to give the little boy fifty cents for taking any thing so nasty as castor oil," she pro tested. "I don't see why he shouldn't have a reward." Neither do I. But that wasn't a reward. It was a bribe. He wasn't given it because he had been good. He was offered it on condition he would be good. And I think there's a world of dif ference between these two. GOODWIN TO SCHEITELS' AID. The Raided Mining Company Was One of the Actor's Ventures. New York. Oct. 4. Nat C. Goodwin, the actor, visited the offices of District Attorney Wise in the federal building today in the interest of B. H. Scheftels Co.. the Broad street mining stock concern that was raided last week by agents of the department of justice. Goodwin formerly was connected wit'l the Scheftels firm. Judge Holt appointed Irving L. Ernst receiver of the Scheftels firm today, di recting him to take charge of the prop erty. The grand jury did not consider the ease today. It was understood that District Attorney Wise is completing his case against George Graham Rice, who gave himself up after the raid. Rice is described as the moving spirit in the Scheftels firm. SAVES HER FALLS. Cascade Is Granted an Injunction Against Power Company. Pueblo, Colo., Oct. 4. For the first time in this country, scenic beauty has been given concrete value and afford ed the protection of the courts in a decision rendered by Judge Robert E. Lewis, in the United States district court here when the Cascade town company was granted a permanent in junction prohibiting the Empire Water Power company from using for the purpose of generating power, water which forms the chief scenic attrac tion of the mountain canon at the mouth of which the town is situated. Because of the unique point in volved, the case attracted widespread attention. The power company sought to divert water which formed beautiful falls in this canon and instituted con demnation proceedings. The town company resisted the power people on the ground that diversion of the water meant the destruction of the chief as set of the town company, the scenic beauty of which makes Cascade a sum mer resort. It was put forward that in playing its part in making for scenic beauty, the water is already being put to beneficial use within the meaning of the law and therefore is not sub ject to condemnation proceedings. This condemnation was sustained by the court. Cascade is a pleasure resort near Colorado .Springs, and lies at the base of the north slope of Pikes Peak. Soap by the box cheap at Cope's.

October 4. UT WAFERS SO DAINTY. Nut wafers are delightfully thin, crisp and have the delicious flavor of real crushed nuta mixed in. They are about the size of a half dollar, flat on one side and round ed on the other, with the nuts on top, too. A daintier wafer would be hard to produce, yet the price is only 25c a pound. WOULDN'T A DINNER LIKE THIS TASTE GOOD ON ONE Ol-' THESE COOL DAYS? This is just an example of what can be selected from our wide as sortment of prepared eatables no work no wasted materials and everything tip top, too. For instance, you could choose real Boston Baked Beans and brown bread for the first part of the meal. The beans are baked m true New England style, as is also the bread. Then for meat, noth ing could be more appetizing than some of our delicious roast pork. The pork is specially cut from se lected, young, tender pigs and roasted in superb style. Then serve some of our spaghetti or mac aroni and cheese. Either of them is delicious and appetizing. After this would naturally come pie, with a little cheese. We make the BEST pies in tthe city; they're ex tra wide and thick; filled with lus cious pure fruit sauces or custards. To top off this excellent meal you should serve as desert some dainty pastry, such as cream horns or perhaps apple dumpling. Weston bread is. of course, necessary at any meal, whatever sort of bread, buns or rolls you may serve. This is just a suggestion of one combination of things which could be selected here. Dozens of other good meats, vegetable delicatessen, and pastry are constantly here, and fresh. If you'll try this new plan just once, you'll find that you can have a veritable banquet every meal, and at a cost not to exceed $1 for the family. Figure it out for yourself, or here it is, done for you: 1 quart Boston Baked beans.. .10 1 full loaf Boston Brown bread .05 1 pound superb roast pork 40 1 wholesome, luscious pie 15 1 large loaf Weston Bread 10 dozen marshmallow cream horns Total. .J1.00 POPPY SEED ROLLS.

The old idea that dandruff is scales of skin thrown off, through a fever ish condition of the scalp is exploded. Prof. Unna, Hamburg. Germany, Euro pean authority on skin diseases, says danruff is a germ disease. The germ burrows under the scalp, throwing up little scales of cuticle, and sapping the vitality of the hair at the root. The only hair preparation that kills danruff germs is Newbro's Herpicide.

How many pounds of yeast do you suppose it takes to supply a big bakery like the Ideal? Would you make a guess? Yes? Well, we won't ask you to, but here's the actual fact: Last month we used mora than 900 pounds of Fleisch man's best yeast. A lot you'll say, but it's not any more than is nec essary to make our goods delicious, light and tempting. It's the enorm ous amount of good things to eat produced here tnat takes so much yeast. The qualit" of goods and service offered appeals to the tastes of Topeka's discerning public and it takes lots of yeast to make lots of bread .rolls, etc., don't you see? DELTCATESSENS ARE BECOM ING .MK.IITY POPIXAK. And well they may, for every day our expert chef brings a steaming pan of each of the following deli cios dishes into the salesroom. They are certain to be always fresh and when prepared in the excellent fashion they are sure to appeal to the eye and taste. There are baked beans 10c a quart; rice and tapioca pudding, spaghetti, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, bread pudding, hash and cottage cheese, all at 10c a pint. Besides these prepared dishes are ready cooked meats. The assort ment includes baked or fried chick en .baked ham. roast beef and pork, cold tongue, baked heart and meat loaf. The prices are all reasonable, too. We have a special slicing ser vice for the meats and furnish pa per palls for delicatessen without extra charge. HERMITS ARE RTCH AND DE LICIOUS.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURN AC TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1910. V ill 11, ;1 1 1 u H NORTH SIDE NEWS. Oat of Town People Are Locat ing in First Ward. Mexican Boy Makes Good Pro gress in School. A 73-POUND PUMPKIN. Presented to Commissioner Simms by Ed Ward. Edward Kassebaum Raises 66 1-4 Pound Watermelon. Recently a story was printed in the fctate Journal that many people were moving to the Jsorth side and that vacant houses were becoming scarce as well as that real estate men report ed more inquiries as to First ward property than ever before at this sea son. And here are some of the reasons for "the faith that is within us." With in the last few days several people have moved in. And probably as a result of the prospects of the con tinuation of the Shorey extension of the Topeka street railway to Shorey, new houses are being planned for that suburb. E. G. Odon is moving from northern Kansas to 1232 North Jackson street. Charles Green has moved from Bolmg Green, Mo., to 1228 North Jackson street. He is an automobile man. Alfred Hylt is moving from Mencken to 1103 North Jefferson street. H. E. Hudspeth has moved from Manhattan to 393 Park street. S. F. Kendall has built a new house in Shorey and will move there In the near future. Other people are expected to build in that vicinity and to move to the North side within the next few weeks, accorHyig to the real estate men. This is "some pumpkins" of a story, a tale of Ed Ward's generosity. Ed O'Neill, county commissioner, was said to have bought up all of the pumpkins at the state fair last month before his brother commissioner, F. B. Simms, had a chance at them. Now it came to pass that Mr. Ward, a farmer north of Topeka, heard of this. Thereupon he hied himself to the pumpkin field and extracted there from a pumpkin weighing 73 pounds, saying: "Our North side commis sioner shall not go without this kind of fruit as long as I have any of the same left." So he brought the pumpkin to town and laid it at Mr. Simms' door. And there was rejoicing in the Simms household. Do vou like watermelons? Is the red interior of the vegetable with the decorations of black seeds a thing of beauty in your eyes and a joy to your palate while the oozy substance melts in your mouth and travels down the lane from whence no melon e'er re turns? If so you must "take in the free watermelon social which the young people of the Kansas Avenue M. E. church will give this evening on the church lawn. No charges will be made and every one is given the proverbial "cordial invitation to attend." All of the exhibits for the Indian Creek Grange fair which will be held in the Grange hall four miles north of Topeka on the Central avenue road Thursday and Friday of this week must be' in their place by 2 p. ni. Thursday. Dinner will be served both days at the fair. The list of premiums offered fol lows: COI,TS.

Wealth HOWTOREACH BOY Cultivate His "Gang" Says Pro fessor Hoben'. 10 onh- V JO Is Brought to an End hy a Re lentless Creditor. FOR DEBT OF 810,000. His Claim to Property Worth DO Millions to Be Sold. Has Held Place on Chicago Lake Front for Years. Chicaso, Oct. 4. "Cap" George Wellington Streeter's dream of wealth from the sale of lands thrown up by Lake Michigan about the good ship Iteuten, when she was wrecked off Chicago avenue in 188S, have been given a final jolt. It is announced, through the medium of the legal boards in the county building that all of "Cap's" interest, real or phantom, In the "deestrict" will be sold at auc tion to the highest bidder on October 18. The property is valued at $90,000, 000. The reason for the sale oZ the prop erty is a judgment of $10,000 against "Cap." The debt was incurred by the mariner-real estate man in his efforts to obtain his release from a life sen tence at Joliet, which had been im posed following the trial of the "Cap" for killing a watchman while defend ing the "deestrict" with armed retain ers. "Cap" was released after serving twelve months in the penitentiary, but not before he had run up a heavy bill for legal services. Now he is to be stripped of his rights to any lands he owns in the "deestrict" to satisfy the claim of attorney W. 1. Anderson, who brought about liis release. It is understood that the present move is only a forerunner to manda mus proceedings which will then be Instituted by the purchaser of "Cap's" claim?. "Cap" Streoter, in his "land boat" Is pondering over the shattering of his hopes, which had survived the many jars sustained in his battles with the millionaire land holders'who had made the "deestrict" one of the fashionable sections of the "Xorth Side."

The bees were in a car of household goods billed to California. They swarm ed about the wreck and kept the wrecking crew at bay for several hours before they were smoked out. K. D.

Troops sent in pursuit of the notori ous brigand Zelim Khan were ambush ed by his band and a rural captain, three minor officers and 12 soldie?s were killed and many others injured. Rein forcements have been sent against the outlaws, but the absence of roads hampers operations. The depredations of Z?lim have been on such an extended scale that the authorities were compelled to detail three companies of infantry and a com pany of Cossacks to run down the marauders. The expedition tracked the bandits to the border of Tiflis province and sur rounded its camp, pitched in an almost inaccessible gorge.

Adventure and a "Mix Up." Must Gain His Confidence Through These Channels. Chicago, Oct. 4. If you want to ap peal to a boy you must cultivate his "gang." This is the conclusion or Prof. Allan Hoben, of the University of Chicago, after an exhaustive study of the sub ject, "boy." He told an audience at the Fullerton Avenue Presbyterian church his ideas about the topic last night when he gave an address on "Biology and the Boy Nature." Prof. Hoben has reached the conclu sion that "boy" in the stages between 12 and lti years has instincts aa prmi tive as those of the cave dwellers. His reasons are: The boy's love for his "gang." His love for "vagrancy." which the speaker included under the heading of wandering and the boy's love for ad venture. His love for fire even on the hot test summer days. His love for physical exertion and for a "mix up" "any old time." "The animal instinct in a boy is like that in a little savage," declared the professor. "I have made investiga tions in South side districts of this city and I discovered that "gangs" existed on an average of one in every two blocks. "The time has come when we must take cognizance of this gang spirit if we hope to win the boy's confidence. We must appeal to him through his 'gang.' In several instances where we gained the confidence of the 'gang' we organized athletic clubs, and in this way we appealed to the love of the boy for physical exertion. Through this agency we could teach the boys of higher things. It is almost impossi ble to convert the individual boy. "When you convert him you must convert his entire gang." NO CLUE TO FLACK. But Slierirf Young Still Has the War rant Safely Ireervcd. Sheriff Young, of Abilene, came to Topeka Monday with Walter Kuhlman, who was recently adjudged insane in the probate court of Dickinson county. Sheriff Young has been working over time looking for Flack, the default ing Abilene hanker. As yet no clue has turned up as to the location of the missing hanker.

Midshipman Godfrey Chevalier, the hero o the Atlantic fleet's disaster last Saturday night, when more than a score of the battleship New Hampshire's sailors were lost through the swamping of a barge, has just been released from the care of surgeons. He nearly perished from exhaustion after rescuing a dozen or more imperilled sailors. Even in the light of his own heroic con duct. Chevalier does not regard the affair with any degree of satisfaction. 'It seems aa if I have always been in trouble," he told a number of friends who went aboard the Xew Hampshire to congratulate him on the part he played in the work of rescue. "There was a hazing matter at Annapolis in my plebe year, when everybody in the upper classes thought I had peached on the upper classmen. Other things followed one another so that I thought I was hoodooed for fair. "Then for a while it seemed as if I had a little luck. Things were going pretty well. But two months ago, at Provincetown, Mass., my old bad luck turned up again. I was out in a cut ter and we nearly collided with an other boat as we rounded the prow of the battleship. "I saw that the other craft was likely to take off our rudder, so I reached out my hand to fend her off. The result was that my hand was crushed and it was only taken out of the plaster cast a few days ago. "Then came the awful affair of Sat urday night. That is too horrible for rap to talk about." One of the striking features of the trjagedy, at least to landsmen, has been the revelation that so many sailors, men who actually live upon the wa ter, were unable to save themselves by swimming. Lieutenant Commander Schofield of the New Hampshire is au thority for the statement that a re cent census of the ship showed that more than 300 members of the crew were unable to swim a stroke. "There Is nothing in the regula tions compelling an enlisted man to learn to swim," says Commander Schofield. "Many of them enlist from inland towns, where they have never had an opportunity to learn. When they get liberty they don't want to spend their time that way and so what can we do?" WOMAN'S NIGHT COXTKT. Shows 416 Arrested for Disorderly Conduct in Xew York. Xew Tork. Oct. 4. The first report on the work of the woman's night court, established in New Tork a month ago, shows that the number of women arrested during the month for disorderly conduct was 446. Of this number, 263 were convicted and sen tenced. Under 'the law governing the court, a finger print record of all the women convicted has been taken. Fifty-three of the total number arrested were sub jected to medical examination and forty of these were sent to the hospital ward on Blackwell's Island to serve out their sentence. All the suffrage organizations of the city are preparing to fight the medical examination feature of the law and representative club women will go to Albany this winter to urge its repeal. The court's report shows that three out of every five medical examinations be come hospital cases. This the defend ers of the court point to in justification of its existence: also the fact that the number of arrests for the month shows a decrease over a year ago of 60 per cent.

Dr.Eugrnia Hancock Says Turk ish Women Are Happy. Deerie American Me: hod of Treating the Women. New Tork, Oct. 4 "The women of the harem are better off than Ameri can, women today," declares Dr. Eugenia Hancock. This upset of ordinary ideas wes called forth by a magazine article prophesying that young people of the future must stay unmarried unless the wife be willing to eke out the family income by working. "And it's absolutely the worst thing that could happen to America," Dr. Hancock continued hotly. "Even now the very foundations of the race are be ing undermined by the way we treat our women. The standard of physicnl resistance is dropping continually low er and this is in a large measure the result of our unnaturally worked wives i and mothers. "The woman in the Turkish harem is happier than many an American wife today. Her lord is not only faithful to her, but he cherishes her. The very word 'harem.' as the Turkish ambas sador said the other day. means 'a place sacred to women.' The stenog rapher's desk or the factory loom is getting to be about the only place sac red to American women." "But do you think it would be better if the cook stove were the sacred spot?" "Tes. I do," the doctor declared. "I don't mean." she added quickly, "that women should be mere domestic drudges. I believe women should study anything they like and learn all about the things in which their husbands ar;" interested, and be really intelligent companions for them. "Then there's the effect on the hus bands. Our American men are becom ing too lazy and spoiled for any use. And as long as the wives consent to work, the rate of idle husbands will in crease. And yet it is deliberately as serted that the woman of the future won't ibe married at all unless she has a job she can continue to 'hold down.' I think it's perfectly disgraceful, and I'd like to know what our American men are coming to!" SWALLOWS NINE SPOONS Autojwy rtevoals Their Presence in a Woman's Stomach. Concord, N. H., Oct. 4.

Thirty Chairs Will Be In stalled and Thorough Instruction Given in Every Art of the Profession. The Schwarze System of Barber Colleges, an organization which i rapidly spreading over the Middle West in the establishment of a new and very efficient method of instruction in barber work, has opened a very attractive Institution at No. 402 Kansas Ave. Mr. Henry Schwarze, the President of the organization, is a prac tical barber of extensive experience, having learned his trade in Ger many, where every artisan must know his business thoroughly before he goes out into the world. Mr. Schwarze is opening the college here, which he believes will be the foremost one of the system. The method of instruction Is quite different from that taught by or dinary barber colleges, and is far more thorough in every particular. The student is not only taught in skillful shaving and cutting of hair, but given a knowledge of dermatology, which will be of the utmost benefit to him in his trade. Then, also, he is taught the business courtesy which is so necessary in the successful shop. Within a very few weeks the student will be sufficiently advanced to be earning a large portion of his expenses, and within eight weeks he will be earning a fair salary, thus enabling him to practically pay his own way. One of the commendable features of the Schwarze System Is that they start their graduates up in business when desired, finding a lo cation and establishing a shop for them. They are able and willing to do this, because of their confidence that one who has thoroughly assimilated their course of instruction cannot but make a success. Electrical Massage and all the latest applications of scientific der matology will be taught without extra charge, so that graduates of the school will be ampiy qualified to command the highest salaries, in the profession. The institutional charges are very modest, and even these, as has been intimated, can soon be offset by the earning capacity of the stu dent. The College is now ready to receive students, and so well known is this system for its efficiency that as soon as the establishment of a College in Topeka is known there will undoubtedly be a large at tendance from a large surrounding territory, as well as from the city. 402 Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kan.
