NEVNATIONALISM Creed of th Latest Political Faith Is Set Forth By Gilford Pinchot in a Speech at Detroit. NEW PARTY COMING. And the Old Lines Are Being Hiped Out, He Says. Accuses the Administration of Acting in Bad Faith. Detroit, Oct. 28. Gifford Pinchot, former head of the United States bu reau of forestry, delivered an address this afternoon at the Hotel Pontchar train at a luncheon given by the De troit board of commerce. As originally planned the address was to have been given at a banquet this evening but changes in Mr. Pin chot's itinerary necessitated his early departure for Indianapolis and the luncheon was substituted for the ban quet. Mr. Pinchot's Speech. Mr. Pinchot spoke In part as fol lows: Since early In June I have been trav eling; almost continuously, and have had a fair chance to come in contact with and estimate public sentiment in all the great divisions of our country. Using the information thus secured from contact with men of many occu pations and varieties of political belief In many localities, I have tried to write down an estimate of the composite opinion of the voters of all parties in the east, the south, the Mississippi val ley, and the Pacific coast on certain public questions. What I have writ ten makes no pretense to be complete. And the task Is not without difficulty. Opinions fiercely held in some parts of the countary, in others have not yet risen to the surface as public issues. The underlying fact, as I found it everywnere, was uteiiseaLtu puwci iui indignation over the inequality of OP-;Q J)UI LUI11L CVC1J W uric Bnunii .J tA,, or tvio firm dptprmiTifltinn to nut an end to it somehow, and that soon.

I believe that Cannon and Aldrich, and all they represent, are passing rap Idly away, and that a better time ;s coming, when the people will control. I believe the people must protect themselves against the special inter ests in state and nation alike: that they con best protect themselves by the power of the nation against corpor ations operating across state lines find that the great special interests must not be permitted to take refuge from all control by sneciously raising the issue of states' rights.

Secretary Mc Veagh's proposal to reduce the size of paper money has progressed to a point where the problem of working out a plan for a uniform national bank note is not a serious one. A committee is soon to make a report with some rec ommendations. It is said to be imprac- ticable to reduce the size of the gov-! ernment's currency without reducing national Danit notes to trie; same size If that be possible, it i declared the 7.000 national banks of the United States could save $20,000 a year in ad dition to the $900,000 the government expects to save. It will require an act of congress to change the wording now upon national bank notes and that is necessary oeiore tne size can oe re duced. NEELY IN AEROFLANE.

He Declares the Roads Should Be Made to Show Jutt W hat They Own by Produc ing Their Books. Chicago, Oct. 28. Governor W. R. Stubbs of Kansas, on the witness stand before the interstate commerce commission today in the freight rate increase hearing declared he could re produce at a profit to himself as a railroad contractor all the main lines of railroads in the state at $25,000 a mile and for $10,000 a mile less re produce the branch lines In the state.

Stubbs of Kansas was a witness today in the interstate commerce commis sion rate hearing. He was preceded on the witness stand by Frank Ryan of special assistant to the attorney gen- i eral of Kansas and J R White traffic manager of a big Kansas City dry goods house. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Muirhead told of a lamentable condition of the properties of the Missouri Pacific in 1907, when. Ryan said people were afraid to ride cm it, auu 01 suuaequeiit improvement:, while Mr. White related that prior 10 1906 and the passage of the Hepburn act rebating was generally practiced. "Between 1900 and 1905," said Mr. White, "we paid from 30- to 40 cents less than the $1.47 rate from the At lantic seaboard. This condition was no; exceptional with us; it was a mat ter of common knowledge that others were allowed the low rates." On cross-examination by Attorney C. M. Dawes of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy, witness said the rebates ap plied to all Inbound freight, and cov ered 90 per cent of the goods received by his company. Rebates, he said, were received on practically all goods received from the Atlantic seaboard. southeastern points and Chicago. business?" inquired Attorney Dawes "No, I do not, but it would affect it." "Is there anything sold by you on which the advance would not be added to the price of the goods?" "We would not add the advance on print goods," replied Mr. White. Opposed to the Advance. Answering Commissioner Lane, Mr. White said he was opposed to the ad vance. Referring to a recent case m which the Kansas City dry goods house secured a reduction in the rates on certain articles witness declared that proposed advances would more than wipe out these reductions. Mr, Ryan, speaking of the physical condition of the Missouri Pacific in 1907, said the trackage of the com pany in Kansas was in a dangerous condition. "The people of Kansas," he said, "would not travel over the road if there were any other means of trans- portatlon possible." Two weeks ago he said that he had nouncea m a aecree rasara oy tne pro made an inspection of the road and its visional government today. equipment had, been greatly improved r- along lines suggested by the state rail road commission. Examination of Mr. Ryan was by Attorney John DawSbn, counsel for the Kansas railway commission. Mr. Dawson said shippers of the state would not consent to have the Im provement of the Missouri Pacific in that state used as a basis for an ad vance in rates. He said the absorp tion of a number of smaller lines may have contributed to the general low physical average condition of the rail road in 1907. On cross examination by James C. Jeffrey, counsel for the Missouri Pacific, Mr. Ryan said the state board co-operated in aiding the railroad to improve its roadbed, al though in 1907 the passenger rate in Kansas was cut to two cents a mile, and freight rates also were reduced. Dawson Makes a Statement. Mr. Dawson interpolated a state ment that the railroads had brought suit against the two-cent fare law, but that prosecution of the case had been held in abeyance pending decision on similar suits in Nebraska. Attorney T. J. Norton of the Santa Fe said he understood there were 23.000 automobiles in Kansas more, he said, than there were in New York City. Mr. Ryan smilingly admitted that there were many motor cars in Kansas and declared that if he lived in New York he would not want one. He admitted that the people of Kansas were prosperous. "Would they object to paying a rea sonable rate on their freight?" asked Mr. Norton. "Not a reasonable rate." replied the witness. Mr. Muirhead, the next witness, said he had inspected the Missouri Pacific to see if it was obeying the orders of i the railroad commission. I On my first trip in 1909 the road i was in bad shape. It was considered a joke as a railroad. A month ago I went over the road again and found great improvements. At the present rate of betterments and replacements, the Missouri Pacific will soon be in as good physical condition as any rail road in the country." EMPIRE AT STAKE. Famous Kentucky Land Case Before V. S. Supreme Court. Washington, Oct. 28. An empire larg er than the entire state of Delaware or the island of Porto Rico lying in the state of Kentucky is the prize at stake today in the supreme court of the Uni ted States.

The attorney general of Kentucky has appeared in the supreme court to as sert in defense of their claim of title that they are the people who have built up the state and have for years, paid taxes on the land. Kecent legislation in Kentucky resulted in decisions by the- state courts which practically took away any title which claimants under the blanket grants might have had. These claimants now come to the su preme court in a final appeal. WILL LET SMITH GO. Court to Give Fallen Preacher Chance to Reform. Kansas City, Oct. 28.

Hawley and Post Will Reach New York This Evening. Are Entertained by Citizens of Quebec and Montreal. STORY OF THE TRIP. In Its Earlier Stages Is Told by Mr. Post. Hawley Sustained a Severe In jury to His Leg. Montreal, Oct. 28. The final stage of the remarkable journey of Alan R. Hawley, pilot, and Augustus Post, aid of the victorious balloon America II into Canada ended today with their ar rival in Montreal. During the night a sleet and snow storm swept over central Quebec and the aeronauts' glimpse 'of the wooded hills gave them a bleak and dreary pic ture suggestive of a fate that might have overtaken them had they been less successful in managing the big gas bag. or in woodcraft. The party was met here by representatives of the Montreal automobile and aero clubs and were the guests of President Anson and the directors of that organization at break fast at the place Viger. They left on tne Delaware Hudson railroad at 10:55 and are due to arrive in New York at 10:18 o'clock this evening. Formal Welcome at Quebec. iQuebec, Oct. 28. Alan R. Hawley and Augustus Post, heroes of the greatest balloon flight on record, arrived here last night after an experience that wa? more trying than earlier reports indi cated, but mightily pleased because the cup for which they contested remains in America. The first day after leaving the Amer ica II, at the end of their journey on the banks of the Peribonka river, Mr. Hawley's leg was injured so severely that he was laid up for several hours and he has not yet recovered from the effects of the hurt. The arriv of the aeronauts was made the occasion of the first formal welcome back to civilization of the men who for several days were thought to be lost in the dense forests of Canada. Gebhardt Willrich, the American consul, and several prominent men of the city met tne party upori the ar- lnK jacoues Maltais's cabin in the woods when we did. Taken altogeth- 1 er, it was not a disagreeable experience by any means, and, best of all, the cup for which we made the flight remains at home." Post Describes Trip. In describing the earlier part of the journey up to the time they were lost sight of over the state of Michigan, rui oa.u. "We followed a northeasterly course across the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and thence along the Illinois river into Wisconsin. In the morning we were in a fjusii.iuii jusl uuilii ui mo city of Milwaukee, but over the lake. We descended so that our rope trailed in the water, but the air was light and we rose again to get the eastern drift. That carried us up over the lake to Point au Sable, near Ludington. At that pdint the wind veered slightly to the north and we passed over Traverse City. From there we rose again and again got the easterly drift. "We crossed Lake Huron during the night and were high over Georgian bay and the country immediately north of it. We made our highest altitudes at this stage of the journey. The wind had a strong drift to the northeast and Impossible to move afoot, so we decided to go on. We again went into the higher levels and at one time our barograph registered 6,000 metre?. which Is the limit. We then saw in. be distance what we supposed was tha town of Normandy, Lake St. John. This was about 1:30 p. m. on Wednes-. day. The country looked favorable for a landing and we decided to come down. The speed at which we were going, however, carried us beyond tha place we had picked out. We were carried over a small hill. Considering the circumstances, we made a good landing on what we later learned was to the east of the Peribonka river. "A heavy thunderstorm came up and we slept in the basket that night. The next morning we saw that it was impossible to move the balloon and wo packed up for the Journey on foot. We slept in the wood Thursday night. Hawley injured his leg in the after- noon. Arter we naa covered aDout seven miles along the shore of Lake Chilogama we went into camp early, making it as comfortable as possible by using balsam boughs." 1 Hawley Breaks In, Here Mr. Hawley Interrupted Mr: Post's narrative to explain how his leg-was- hurt. "We were going through a dense tan gle of brambles and fallen timbers and' making poor progress. In working mv Vv-ay through I leaped upon what lookel like a solid log. It crumbled beneath me and my whole weight waa sudden': thrown upon my right leg, which bent under me. I can stand a good deal of pain, but I never had anything take ho'd of me like that did." Taking up the thread of his story, Mr. Post said: "On account of Mr. Hawley's in jured leg we took it easy on Friday and went into camp early. On Satur day, on the shore of a small lake, we fame upon the cabin of Jacaues Mal tais, -He was absent at the time, but tve enjoyed his hospitality for that night and the whole of the following flay. Unfortunately, the cabin was bare of supplies. "About 9 o'clockr Monday morning Mr. Hawley went to the bank of the (Continued on Pago Eight.li

Several hundred of the convicts in the federal penitentiary here are anxiously look ing forward to the meeting of the board of parole, which is expected to convene in Leavenworth early in No vember and consider applications for parole under the act of congress, ap proved June 2a, last. Of the forty members of the bankers' colony in the penitentiary only about a dozen have applied for parole. Several of the eligibles have such a shoit period to complete their terms that they prefer serving out their sentences and leaving the prison with a clean record, than to be known as a paroled r-an. Amone. the bankers who are now eligible to the benefits of the law are: Frank G. Eigelow, of Milwaukee, ani his former cashier, H. G. Goll; J. L. Rroderick. Elkhart, Ind.; G. A. Conz man, Terre Haute, Ind.; Fred Lubbe, Indianapolis, Ind.; W. H. Schnick and S. G. Brainard, Cleveland, O.; T. G. Hayes, Washington, D. C; C. M. Spencer, Des Moines, la.; C. C. King, Pierre, S. T.; F. M. Marby, "Waco, Tex.; C.'H. Thornton, Chicago; H. i. Horras, Sioux Falls, S. D. John R. Walsh, the Chicago banker whose petition for a pardon is now be fore the department of justice, will not be eligible to the operation of the law until October, 1911, when he will have completed one-third of his term of five years. Walsh's friends are said to be confident that he will be pardoned be fore that time. W. W. Montgomery of Pittsburg, Pa., former political adviser of the late Senator Quay, will not be eligible until September, 1914. Arriving at prison with Montgomery was his cashier, Herbert W. Tiers. Under the law he cannot be paroled until May, 1911. The law under whose operation the convicts hope for release provides that every prisoner serving a definite term for an offense against the United States whose record of conduct shows he has observed the rules of the In stitution, and who has served one third of the total of the term or terms for wh'ch he was sentenced, may be released on parole, under certain con ditions. If the applicant's petition meets the approval of the board it will recom mend the parole to the attorney gen eral of the United States. Prisoners who, are granted parole will be given permission to return to their homes, where it will devolve upon the United States marshal of the dis trict in which the prisoner lives to keep a supervision over him. In case a pris oner violates his parole the marshal shall execute a warrant for his recom mitment. Before a prisoner can be released upon parole it will be necessary for his" friends to secure him employment and this must be certified to the board be fcre it will make any recommendation in the case. The prison authorities are sending out to relatives of prison ers who have applied for parole, blanks to bo filled out and returned before the meeting next month. This blank must be signed by some one who has known the prisoner and who will agree to act as his first friend, or adviser while the prisoner is out on parole. It is not believed here that any of the prisoners will be released before the first or middle of January next. Freckles "Once Freckled Always Freckled No Longer True How to Remave Quickly Miss E. M.

Kansas capital and Kansas men are pushing forward an irrigation project between Pueblo and Fowler, along the New Santa Fe Trail, and in the very heart of the Arkansas valley, that promises quick results. This is the Orchard Park project of the Pueblo Land Irrigation com pany. The president of the company is Charles E. Sutton of Lawrence, president of the Kansas state board of agriculture, and its treasurer is J. F. Springfield, a noted engineer and a capitalist of some renown, who re cently became identified with the water, light and power companies of Hutchinson, combining two former companies engaged in these interprises in the Salt City. Theproject embraces 5,000 acres, and is just east of Pueblo. It lies beauti fully, and Is destined to become, as the name indicates, an orchard and in tensively cultivated area. Several Garden City, Hutchinson, Topeka, Manhattan and other Kansas people have bought tracts in Orchard Park. decided ever since the country was first settled as to where certain tracts of their land and that of their neigh bors began or ended, the rightful own ers to the same and the property boun daries thereto. This is what Uncle Sam wishes to solve in sending out sur veyors who have been working near Norway and Scandia now for over a week. GOVERNOR STUBBS IN CHICAGO. Will Testify Before Interstate Com merce Commission. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 2 8. Governor Stubbs will appear before the inter state commerce commission in Chicago today to give testimony as to the cost of railroad construction in Kansas. He has been subpoenaed by the commis sion. Governor Stubbs testified before the commission during a hearing con ducted in Topeka two or three years ago and gave the most substantial in formation as a basis Cor figuring the cost of railroad construction over se cured by the commission. Members of the commission so stated at the time. Governor Stubbs has built railroads in Kansas and other middle western states and knows to a nicety, what it i costs to grade and lay a mile of track under ordinary conditions. He will give the commission the benefit of his knowledge on this subject. The com mission will use his testimony in the matter of the application of the rail roads for permission to increase trans portation rates. There is now and has been for months, a movement on to have freight rates represent a fair re turn on the investment of the railroad companies and Governor Stubbs con tends this can be done only when a physical valuation of railroad property has been made. The cold weatlier last night made practice lively for the Washburn foot ball squad and showed that the men were faster than was suspected from their previous practice. Coach Stew art is running Mclntire at end to be used there-in case of necessity. "Whit comb was back at practice again and with Hardy and Burkhart at halves the backfield is lined up for the Kan sas game. Stories of lots of K. U. money at odds of 3 to 1 on the outcome of Sat urday's game and even money that the Blue does not scce indicates great confidence at the university, and wor ries the Washburn boosters. The greater part of the student body will journey to Lawrence in automobiles or on the special train, nevertheless, "for until the team is finally beaten there is hope. Many still claim the Washburn team has never shown up to form and that a reversal from the listless play ought to occur this week. Scrimmage last night will be sup plemented with signal running and down field, practice tonight after which Coach Stewart will lecture his men on the plan of the battle. Nothing is be ing left undone to help the chances of the Blue, but it is impossible to get the cripples into condition to play and it will be a much weaker team than it was considered at the begin ning of the season. As few plays will be used as possible, the squad having mastered but a small proportion of the offense planned. The Washburn lineup for the con test will consist of Mclntire, left end; Mclntostu left tackle; Johnstone, left guard; De Frantz, center; Reazin, right guard; Titus, right rackle; Mc Carroil, right end; Crumbine, quarter; Hardy, left half; Burkhart, right half; Whitcomb, fullback. The game will not be called until after the Washburn rooters have reached the grounds from the special train which leaves over the Santa Fe at 1:30 o'clock. Tickets are on -sale at Fullerton s. The Kansas Aggies, who have made mince meat of all comers up to date. will continue the practice at Omaha Saturday with Creighton. The team with a round of substitutes left Man hattan today for fbe Nebraska metro polis. Marquette vanquished the Ne braska Catholics 18 to 3 after their stop at St. Marys. The score against St. Marys was lq to 0, so their lead in both games was 15 points. There was a suspicion that' if Marquette played the Aggies they.woukl have been beat en. Saturday's results will give an idea of what the result would have been. game would be impossible: Dr. Nor man, chairman of the athletic board; states, however, that as soon as Den ver bows her head to eligibility rules and other things, Colorado university will be, happy to play. This seems to be the 'psychological year for a game from the Boulder outlook, as Denver is weaker than for a couple of seasons. Pipe the College Life in the follow ing and then decide where to send your daughters to school:, Colorado Springs, Oct. 28. The pretty co-eds of Colorado college are in tears over an edict of the football coach, Claude J. Rothgeb, which"" places the ban not only on dancing, but on "spoon ing'' too, and creates an awful void, as they point out, in the otherwise beauti ful moonlight nights. There is a pros pect that after the Thanksgiving day game in Denver, Coach Rothgeb will rescind his action. Until then there is to be no more late, hours, "spooning" in the library or dan cing or theater parties vvith the foot ball men, which means that social life at Colorado college will be like Hamlet with the ghost cut out. Although he doesn't come right out and say so. Coach Rothgeb intimates that the defeat of the Mormons was due, in part, at least, to the fact that Utah s backfield attended a dance the night before, and the men were not in condition to play the game. As for dancing on the night following the game, Rothgeb says he isn't worrying about that, "as any man who puts his best into a game will be too tired to dance after it." Speaking of the fighting spirit in foot ball, the Colorado teams put on a brand quite the sensation. Not only do the players fight on the field but the man agers fight over the officials, and the professors fight over the conference regulations which seem to stand in a bad way to be observed. Now it is rumored the game between the Mines and the Colorado college may be cancelled on account of disagree ment over officials. The Denver News has a dispatch from Golden which in cludes the following: The Mines are ready to do anything within reason, but say they will not let the Tigers, backed up by D. U. and the Aggies, put anything across on them. Should the game be .cancelled it will no doubt precipitate a fight in the con ference .which probably will disrupt that organization. CHASE COUNTY PIONEER DEAD. WHOLE FAMILY HAS TYPHOID. Ottawa Well Water Is Infected With Dangerous Germs. j Ottawa, Kan., Oct. 28. The pitiful spectacle of a whole family sick with typhoid fever has come to the notice of the county authorities here. Four weeks ago Mrs. Marion E.

"IT'S ALL IN THE POWDER" Ours is made in our own mills from a patented secret formula, and is used solely in Robin Hood Ammunition. It force starts the instant the primer is hit, and increases as the powder ignites, creating a velocity that drives tie shot with ever-increasing force through the gun barrel. This shows that the (ever-increasing) push 13 aU in one direction, consequently there is very little "kick" to Robin Hood Ammuni tion. Because the recoil or "kick" from Other powders knocks you off your feet is no indication that they have superior velocity or pene trating power. The pressure wasted on your shoulder is lost motion that should be applied to force the shot. Astonishing gains in marksmanship have been made by the con vert to Robin Hood Ammunition simply because it enables him to shoot where he points the gun.

"I heartily approved of the action of the university council in abolishing football," said Dr. Butler, referring to the action taken five years ago. "To revive the game at Columbia would be a step back into the middle ages and a surrender of the repute which came to us through our decisive action in the matter. Hundreds of let ters, mailed all over the country, have come to Columbia, praising her for it; and lately even those students and alumni who were at first most loud in their denunciation of the council's ac tion, have come over to its way of thinking."

The system is one coach for all athletic teams ana The consequence seems to be that one man can not fill such a bill. King Cole is given credit by most critics for having- accom plished everything Nebraska could hope for. Whether the overwhelming defeat at the hands of Minnesota is ac countable for the decision on a change of man Is not known, but it is thought to be responsible for immediate an nouncement. The search for a new head coach probably will bring out the fact that King Cole leaves mighty big hole. The great game in the east tomor row is the Harvard-Army game at West Point, The outcome will give a fine line on the Harvard-Yale game of November 19. for the Army ran over Old Eli 9 to 3 on October 15. Last Saturday Harvard defeated Brown 12 to 0, while Yale was outpiayea Dut not defeated by Vanderbilt. 0 to 0, Harvard has yet to be scored upon and chances now are that her defense will keen the goal line clear through out the season, though such a feat under the present rules would seem miraculous. Yale meets Colgate, which tied Brown, 0 to 0, Saturday, and fur ther dopes the Crimson-Blue contest. The treat battle in the Chicago con ference scheduled for Saturday is the Chicago-Minnesota contest at Chicago. The Minnesota eleven, with a retinue of coaches and trainers arrived in Chicago, where they will work out this evening. Twenty players espe cially pointed at the Maroons made the tria. It is the determination of the Badgers to even up on the weak Chi cago team for their defeat last sea son. The odds were ail wun mem lasi year, but they could not turn the trick. There is a Question now. The first of the intersectionai foot ball battles of the season will be the Michigan-Syracuse game Saturday. Michigan will make the trip to Syra cuse. While the Wolverines have not shown much class so far this season, barely winning from the Aggies and tying Ohio State 3 to 3. it is thought Yost is holding his team in reserve and making poor showing for the ben efit of other Chicago conference teams. His defense is showing strong, while his backfield seems weak. Yost has always had a fast attack if anything, and the change this season is not thought genuine. Syracuse hardly will fall before the western team after the defeat of the Carlisle Indians 14 to 0 and the defeat of Rochester and Ho bart. Chicago goes to Ithaca to meet Cornell November 12 and Michigan meets Pennsylvania.. It is almost cer tain the east will be-victorious in both games. Dispatches from Boulder.

3 NO KELP FOR M'CANN. FACE CLEARED EEAUTI FULLY. e THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1910. 9 Illinois Supreme Court Sustains Jud ment of Lower Tribunal. Springfield, 111.. Oct. 28. The su preme court today affirmed the judg ment of the criminal court of Cook county against Edward McCann. in the appeal for a new trial rf the former police inspector of Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 28. Police Inspector McCann was convicted of accepting bribes for "protection" from gamblers and denizens of the underworld in the Desplaines street district. He was found Kuilty of accepting a bribe of J375 from the Frank brothers, own ers of several illegal houses. Inspector McCann was not only one of the best informed men in the po lice department, but an athlete as well. He rose in five vears from the rank of sergeant to command of the largest police division of the city. The Frank brothers, Julius and Louis, who had grown wealthy in the saloon busi ness and other pursuits peculiar to "tenderloin" districts, were the princi pal witnesses against the defendant. Immense sums are alleged to have been collected by McCann. The gath ering of immunity generally is said to have been pursued in systematic and business like fashion. There was. it is alleged, a regular schedule of prices. In the lower court McCann was sen tenced to serve from one to five years. Fending appeal he was admitted to bail in the sum of $50,000 which was readily secured as he has many friends who be lieve him innocent and the victim of a plot.

The extraordi nary precautions taken last night to protect Emperor William and Em press Auguste Victoria w hen they left the city at 11 o'clock for Berlin were explained today when the police an nounced that a letter threatening his majesty had been received at the royal palace yesterday. The letter was signed by a militant Brussels anarchist and read: "Since no one has had the courage to blow up the German autocrat, I have decided to throw a bomb." Efforts of the authorities to arrest the writer were fruitless and, accord ingly, unusual steps were taken to guard against anv untoward incident. All of the windows of the houses overlooking the streets through which the royal party passed from the pal ace to the railway station were ordered closed temporarily and the station it sflf was packed with troops. The rail way line for a considerable distance out of the city -was guarded. TO USE THE CANAL. Plans Under "Way for a Line of 15 Big Steamers. New Orleans.

Baker of New York. Mr. Baker is president of the National Conservation commission. He declared that the proposed company would be capi talized at $10,000,000 and would oper ate fifteen 10.000-ton steamers from the northern Pacific coast via San Francisco and Panama and from Colon to New Orleans and New York. Damages Awarded for False Arrest. New York, Oct. 2 8. Fifteen thous and dollars is the price a sheriff's jury at Mineola, Long Island, has decided Mrs. Mar Martin of this city must pay Robert Davison, an expressman, for causing his arrest on a charge of stealing a $3,000 necklace from her home when he called there to get a trunk. Mrs. Martin failed to press the charge before the grand jury and Davison was never indicted. He sued for $25,000. Tomorrow while the weather is fine brine the children to King. 827 Kan-, eas avenue. All Traces of Acne Are Gone Pos lam's Power Over All Skin Diseases. "For six years I had what some kin specialists term 'acne,' writes Mis Olive Brown, 9 97 West Delaware avenue, Buffalo, N. Y. "I doctored with some of the best physicians, but instead of improving it became worse. I used poslam faithfully, and after a month my face has cleared up beau tifully, without a single scar. How ever, I still continue to use poslam as a cleanser and preventer, and then, too, it has such a soothing effect." Poslam is probably the most wide ly recommended remedy available to the public. Any one will appreciate why this is so after sending to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth street. New York City, for a samle (mailed free in plain wrapper) and seeing its work demon strated in the quick removal of pim ples, rashes, eruptions, undue redness or in clearing the complexion over night. Poslam should be used when ever the skin ails. Worst cases of eczema, tetter, scabies, itch and like surface skin troubles yield to it read ily, itching being stopped at once. Poslam is sold by all druggists, par ticularly Rosser Drug Co. and Fred A. Snow, in two sizes, at 60 cents and $2.00. GARDEN CITY EXCITED. Transfer of John Springer to Reforma tory Not Popular. Garden City, Kan., Oct. 28. This community is considerably wrought up over the transfer of John Springer from the penitentiary to the Hutchin son reformatory. Springer was sentenced to the peni tentiary for a crime against a little girl. His case was an aggravated one, as he was a man who was 25 years old and had offended before. The people were, therefore, indignant when they found that he had been transferred to the reformatory. He was defended by the firm of which R. J. Hopkins, Re publican nominee for lieutenant gover nor and who is also on the reformatory board is a member. SAVES HER BROTHER. Girl's Screams Frighten Wolf That Was Carrying Him Off. Marshfield, Wis., Oct. 28. The screams of the five-year-old daughter of Herman Bilgrien, who lives two miles from this city, saved the life of the farmer's two-year-old son. who was being carried away by a huge tim ber wolf. The wolf entered the farm yard where the children were playing and seizing the boy started for the woods. The girl, however, ran after her brother screaming until the wolf was so frightened that it dropped the boy practically unhurt. PRISON REFORM FOR CUBA. Special Commissioner Is Inspecting the American System, New York, Oct. 28.' According to Senor Manuel Secades. a special com missioner delegated by the Cuban gov ernment to make a study of police jails and prisons here, a government prison and ten police jails will shortly be built in Havana from plans to be prepared by New York architects. The buildings will be designed along lines similar to those adopted by the police department of this city. The prison system of Cuba will undergo a com plete change and new methods will be substituted for the old way of caring for prisoners which has been in use on the island for many years. Before returning to Cuba, Senor Se cades will inspect the federal peniten tiary at Atlanta and the Illinois state prison at Joliet. Living Is Cheaper In Canada. Pittsfield, Mass., Oct. 28 The eost of living in the United States is 33 per cent higher than in Canada, according to Congressman Eugene N. Foss, Democratic candidate for governor.

The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization (or the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jwir aal building over wires for this sole pur- Aeronauts Post and Hawley now oc cupy a prominent place in the "come back class. Connie Mack and four members of his victorious band of Athletics have concluded the necessary arrangements (or home runs via the matrimonial altar. When we read .of the millions of bac teria In a drop of milk, remarks the Albany Evening Journal, we must won der how there can remain any room for the milk. More baseball balm for Chicago. Tha team of the University of Chicago, which is touring In the Orient, con tinues to win games from Japanese school boys. When it comes to making money, the persimmon will have to be awarded to the treasury department. It is going to turn out $1;200,000 worth of dollar bills a dr. for three or four weeks. Most of the Haytien army seems to have been destroyed in the disaster to the Haytien gunboat Liberte. At least the dispatches say. that ten generals of the army, who were, passengers, wero killed. It appears that King "Victor Em manuel of Italy spends most of his time rushing from one part of his king dom to another which has been visited and almost overwhelmed by a disaster Of some sort. Possibly no one had any idea that playing golf was so valuable, but a Chicagoan has asked for 120,000 dam ages because he was so injured in fall ing from a street car that he cannot play golf any more. Some of the Manobos tribesmen are on the war-path in the Philippines. It t -n't be long now before there will oe plenty of work for the more peaceably Inclined Manobos who are engaged in the undertaking business. If Uncle Joe Cannon needed any ou slde help to get a re-election to con gress from his district, no one .would have reason to be much surprised if Colonel Roosevelt hopped over to Illi nois and lent his aid. Dr. Cook's friends declare that he and they are going to have no diffi culty la proving that Mr. Peary did not get anywhere near the North Pols. This North Pole controversy Is evi dently going to be with us always. Belva A. Lockwood is apparently 80 years young. She has Just celebrated that birthday and says that so far-as she knows there Is not any difference in being SO and in being 28. Some of the folk who consider themselves old at 40 and look and act the part ought to spruce up a bit. William Chase, the well known Amer ican artist. Is back from Europe with an expression of fear that the new tariff law which admits works of art, including- paintings, free of duty, will be responsible for flooding this coun try with spurious "old masters." Well, what's the odds In one way? It Is only the very rich who get into the market for this variety of lemons. Surely the Chicagoans are hard losers. Says the Chicago Tribune con cerning the recent world's champion ship series: "It may as well be admit ted that the Cubs were outbatted, out fielded, outpitched and outumpired." The emphasis, it will be seen, is placed on the "outumpired." Evidently there must be a pronounced streak of Eng lish sporting blood In Chicagoans veins. Real yellow journalists do not get much consideration in England. One of them, who was reporting the Crippen case, provided his paper with a story to the effect that Dr. Crippen admitted he purchased hyoscln and had con fessed to the murder of his wife. The court ordered this newspaper man's ar rest for publishing a falsehood, finid him $1,000, and ordered him imprisone-1 until the fine Is paid. L. IX Brandies, the lawyer who rep resented Collier's and the rest of the prosecution In the Ballinger-Plnchot in vestigation, and who represents a large number of big shippers In the present freight rate controversy, has an idea that the railroads do not conduct their business as economically as they should. And It is just possible that the name criticism might be applied to my of the shippers of the land. SURE ASD SWIFT JUSTICE. If some method of court procedure and the administration of justice, such as prevails in England, could be 'estab lished in the courts of the United States, a great boon would be con ferred on society. There would soon be much more respect for the majesty of the law, and the waves of crime which are spreading over the land would be gin to subside. The sure and swift fashion with which Justice moves in Great Britain has been illustrated again in the hand ling of the cases against Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve. Dr. Crippen's crime will take its place as one of the fiend ish murders of all time. Its execution was as crafty as it was cruel. It was no easy task to furnish evidence that would place the crime at his door, es pecially In the matter of proving the corpus delicti, that the fragments of the flesh found in the cellar of his home were parts of the body of the woman he killed. Here was an opportunity for a stubborn defense and Dr. Crippen. through his friends, was able to obtain the services of the best legal talent. Yet it only took a few days to try this case in court, even' with expert wit nesses on both sides. The jury did its work in 30 minutes. There Is a sugges tion from no one' but Dr. Crippen had a fair trial or that the verdict against him is not a just one. His sen tence to death was fixed to be execu ted less than three weeks from the time of. his conviction. And in the case of Miss Leneve her trial as an accessory after the fact and her ac quittal was brought about within a few hours. Nor is there a suggestion that there was a miscarriage of justice in this case. It is almost unnecessary to state what the procedure would have been in any part of this country had the Crippen and Leneve trials been held here. It would have taken two or three weeks to get a jury In the Crippen case. The trial would have dragged along for a month or six weeks longer. A con viction would have been followed by appeals that would have postponed the execution of Crippen's sentence indefin itely. Maybe the higher courts would have found a few technicalities of suf ficient weight to send the case back to another trial. Perhaps another Jury might disagree or bring in a verdict of not guilty and then justice would be thwarted. There would have been the same tedious sort of a trial in the Leneve case, and perhaps an injustice might have been done the girl through the lealousness of prosecuting attor neys to secure a conviction and there by enhance their reputation for being clever gentlemen. And it is trials of this sort In this country, where facts are generally subordinated to. technicalities, that en courage the criminal element or those who may be tempted to crime to ply their nefarious trade. They have con fidence that smart lawyers can get them put of their difficulties by putting tech nical obstructions in the path of jus tice, as they too frequently and suc cessfully do. TfO HKKO FUND FOR THEM. Mr. Andrew Carnegie's hero fund has effected good in helping poor and worthy boys and young men who had done sor- heroic act, to make head way In the world, notwithstanding the disadvantages of poverty, writes Henrv Mann In the November Columbian. However, there are other kinds of heroism besides' pulling a drowning person out of the water, or rescuing the helpless inmates of a house on fire. The mother who toils night and day to support a crippled husband and de pendent children is a good deal of a heroine. The parent going without food so that the little ones may have something to eat; the brave sister or big brother working all hours to keep the family together when father and mother have gone to their final rest all these are heroes or heroines; and there are many such In our great cities. Their names don't get in the news papers, or glare at readers In six-Inch headlines; and their sacrifices may be known only to God, to themselves, and to those whom they benefit; but the blood of heroes is in their veins; they are of the same stuff as the soldier who leads a forlorn hope, who thrusts himself on the bayonets of the foe, that his comrades may rush forward to victory. General Grant was never more a hero in the stress and storm of battle than he was in those dark latter days, when knowing that the seal of death was on his brow, he struggled to com plete his memoirs so that his family might not suffer, and that his debts should be paid. AH honor to the heroes of fire and flood and war, but don't forget that there are thousands Just as heroic, for whom there are no Carnegie medals, no popular applause, no reward or recognition save the sweet pleasure of doing good, the consciousness of duty performed. "THE BEST TARrFF LAW." Were many of the Republican con gressional insurgents consistent they would be climbing on the housetops and criticising Colonel Roosevelt for his stand on the tariff law quite as severely as they have condemned the position taken by President Taft on this same law. When Mr. Taft deliv ered his first defense of the Payne law In his Winona speech and called It the "best tariff law" that had been placed on the statute books, many of the Re publican insurgents worked themselves up Into a fine frenzy with their criti cisms. Not only did they insist that the new tariff law was a betrayal of the tariff pledge in the Republican national platform. They insisted that because there had been Increases in some of the schedules and these Increases chiefly concerned articles that are ad mitted to be among the luxuries of life it was a much worse effort at tariff revision than was the Dingley law which it superseded. During the past few weeks Colonel Roosevelt has delivered several speech es in which he has discussed the tariff question and the new tariff law.. One of these speeches was delivered by Mr. Roosevelt at Sioux Falls. He after wards reprinted this same speech in the Outlook where he added this sen tence: "I think the present tariff is better than the last and considerably better than the one before the last." President Taft's assertion at Wi nona, and which he has since reiter ated on several occasions to the effect that the Payne tariff law is the best tariff law that has yet- been placed on the statute books, would appear to be right in line with the Idea of Colonel Roosevelt on this same point, for there Is surely no contention that any of the tariff laws, which the country has had, has been better than either of the two laws which preceded the present statute. And the sentiment appears to be growing throughout the country that the new tariff law, with its tariff com mission feature, its maximum and minimum feature, its many reduced schedules, and regardless of Its several defects. Is the best tariff law that has yet been devised. And Its further re vision by piecemeal as the tariff com mission obtains actual facts on which honest revisions can be made, as Presi dent Taft has planned, will make it a better and a better law. In calling j it the best tariff law. President Taft i did not style it as a perfect piece of tariff legislation, although that Is what some. of the fault finders have tried to contend. JOURNAL ENTRIES Most of the petty quarrels of life are unnecessary. ft Multum in pa'rvo A small serving of boarding house hash. What has become of the old-fashioned signs? "Beware of the Dog." In addition to teeth some women are also equipped with a biting tongue.

The theory that the good die young is not very popular with old folk. JAYHAWKER JOTS The day is fast approaching, says Mack Cretcher, when the women of the aristocracy will be wearing alfalfa seed necklaces with a bacon rind peni- ant. A This year's crop of broom corn will make 42.000,000 brooms, notes the Ot tawa Republic, and then it remarks: This is not an exact computation merely a sweeping estimate. Another way people have of letting other people know they own an auto mobile, says the Atchison Champion, is to let it stand out In front of the house and allow grease to run all over the pavement. A returned missionary In Ottawa re cently gave out an interview praising the young. Turk. Being an American and Thanksgiving so near at hand, re marks the Republic, naturally her at titude is favorable to that bird. Kansas printers and proof readers seem determined to confuse Old Doc Crumbine and Old Doc Crippen, notes the Emporia Gazette, which a dels: These eminent practitioners are equal ly distinguished, but their methods are so different that there is no ex cuse for confusion. A young Wichita lawyer, recently ad mitted to the bar, and a little awkward In his choice of words and exDressions in English, relates the Eagle, wrote as follows recently to the widow of a de ceased friend: "I cannot tell you how I am pained to hear that your husband has gone to heaven. He and I were bosom friends, but now we will never meet again." Good advice from the Fort Scott Re publican: The safest way to vote for a county attorney is to learn for cer tain which candidate is being opposed by all the gamblers, bootleggers, and sympathizers with law violations, and vote for him. They are always a unit for one candidate. It's always easy to learn who he is. And it's the good citizen's duty to learn and vote lor the other man. In answering anxious correspondents in his Leavenworth Labor Chronicle, "Dick" Madison has the following to say to "Dark Eye Lashes'": No, don't marry a young man who drinks or smokes cigarettes. After it Is too late you will arise and call for a recon sideration, but your motion will be lost. A drunkard will walk 13 miles around a pool table of an evening, but refuse to carry a colicky baby for 12 minutes. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A man always has a lot on hand he never attends to. It is twice as easy to make a man sore as It Is to remove the sore spot. Some men make a living- simply be cause other people feel sorry for them. We are always hearing that people are "hard up," but it's the same people. It usually happens that a mystery doesn't amount to much after it is solved. By the time some men get a thing fairly started, they quit it, and engage in some thing else. Nothing looks more out-of-plaee than a well-dressed woman and a husband who wears shabby clothes. Of all the different brands of Excite ment, the excitement connected with a strike is probably the worst. You can' get up a discussion any time by asking this question: "Is a squirrel better to eat than a rabbit?" As a general rule, a boy doesn't care muchi to chew gum, except in school where he knows the teacher will kick. The man in business who isn't making money always insists that there is Buch fierce competition that no one In his line is doing well. Health cranks who go without break fast are like men who quit smoking: they quit for awhile, and then eat bigger breakfasts than ever. Men who' work in an office always ex cuse their poor handwriting by saying It was ruined by typewriting. Nothing In It; they never could write legibly. When you apologize, do you admit you are wrong, or do you lay the blame on the other fellow? It you use the latter method, you only make- matters worse. Two men who have had a fist fight, and hammered each other hard, can make up easier than two men who have gos siped and lied about each other for years. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York-Press. It's expensive to get "divorced, but a lot more so to stay married. What makes it so easy to marry a girl is she pretends it's so hard. It seems as If people try harder to be fools than they will try to be anything else. Either a man pays rent and wishes he owned his house or he owns it and wishes he paid rent. A man can put his stocks and bonds in a deposit vault for safe keeping, but there's no place where he eaa keep his reputation out of danger. KANSAS COMMENT WOMEN DEFENDED. Booth Tarkington, the novelist and playwright, has purposely, or unwit tingly lowered the standard of the manhood he has always maintained, by ascribing to woman, a lower sense of morality, than is man's. Mr. Tark ington bases his unfair assumption on the fact that a woman will some times "go through" her husband's pockets, unknown to him. The novel ist Infers, if he is correctly quoted, that the wife who places her hand in the pocket of her husband, does it in a spirit of petty thievery, and never for an instant deigns to attribute any of the niggardly or dishonest prin ciples so common to men, to the poor down-trodden husband. As a rule, when a woman "goes through" the pockets of the man upon whom she is dependent for her food, her cloth ing and in many instances, her very life, Is a slave to an unprincipled be ing who deserves no consideration on any account. Some women may be of a prying, repulsive disposition -and may invade the "sacred" provinces of her husband without excuse; but the average woman 'has neither disposi tion nor cause to enter the private wardrobe of her husband, unknown to him, if he is the right kind of a man and an ample provider. Mr. Tarking ton's views will not meet- the approval of the husband who respects and hon ors his wife: neither will they meet with the approbation of America's womanhood, who, as a class, is too far above him In home ethics, to pay any serious attention to his senile mutterings. Hutchinson Gazette. HOME ECONOMICS. It Is the growing belief that all large schools should teach home economics including fhe subjects usually known as domestic science and domestic art. In accordance with this belief and in response to an increasing demand on the part of students, the University of Kansas has reorganized and enlarged its department of home economics and placed It under the management- of an expert in this line of Instruction. New quarters for the classes in cooking have been fitted up by the university and the head of the department, Miss Edna D. Day, is preparing to give prac tical instruction to this and kindred subjects. The prospects are that the enrollment for the year will be very large. The opinion is sometimes ex pressed that every girl who attends the university should not only have the opportunity, but should be required to study such subjects as cooking and the management of the home.

The voters of Kansas will decide l the coming election whether the mem bers of the legislature shall receive $500 for their services at each regular session of the legislature and $100 for each special session. Surely the great, wealthy state of Kansas can afford to pay its law makers this measly salary At the present time they are receiving about $300 for each regular session, which is not enough to pay their ex penses. Kansas cannot afford longer to rest under the1 disgrace of paying her law makers less than she pays tha hod carriers on her public buildings. Let Montgomery county have it said ot her that she favors, a fair wage to the men who give up their business to look after the affairs of the state. Inde pendence Reporter. PERSISTENT CHINESE. That Chinese laborers, with an over weening desire to gain admittance into the United States or Canada, 'are not dismayed by go small a thing as the lack of a cordial welcome Is evident from the persistency with which they worm their way into the two coun tries. Sometimes they succeed in. their undertaking, but very frequently they are caught and deported a process, by the way, which is attended by no little expense. The four, for instance, who were taken from a boxcar at Holyoke, Mass., on September 18, have, been started back to China by way jf San Francisco, and It Is estimated that their deportation will cost the govern ment between J1.200 and J1.&00. Mean while, Canadian secret service officers have just made their second haul of contraband Chinamen since the offi cial investigation into the smuggling of Chinese laborers was begun. Satur day night or Sunday, they captured 18 Orientals, who arrived at Vancouver on board the steamer Empress of India. These Chinamen attempted to evade payment of the head tax by declaring themselves as merchants, each being provided with letters by a Vancouver interpreter, who was formerly engaged as a customs official.

This certainly Is Mr. Shaw's profoundest utterance. If marks the acme of his greatness as a sage. By all means buy it by weight, then there can be very little ground for complaint at the high price of novels. Moreover, It will be in direct line with this popular movement to buy groceries by weight, as a means of solving the high-cost-of-living problem and getting one's money's worth. Perhaps, also, this Shaw system will have the desired effect of limiting the output, of bringing the supply some where heaf the demand. The present method of buying it by the yard seems utterly to have failed in this achieve ment. That means of measurement has not even proved wholly successful with reference to Dr. Eliot's five-foot book self, which, of course, no one but Shaw ever would have thought of buying by the pound.

With the development of Interurban electric railway service has come a de mand for some rigid control of the operation of these lines for the protec tion of the traveling public. On Sep tember 21 a wreck occurred on an In diana trolley line in which M persons were killed and a score Injured. In the wreck at Stanton, 111., a few days ago, 36 were killed and 39 injured. In both cases it has been shown that the wrecks were caused either by reckless ness or absolute disregard of orders. In the Illinois wreck it was developed at the coroner's inquiry that one of th crews had orders to wait at a certain siding for the northbound train. Tho southbound train was ahead of time and the crew decided it could make the next siding. The collision and its toll of life resulted. A somewhat similar disregard of orders caused the Indiana wreck. The two wrecks emphasize the necessity of electric lines, either of their own motion or by state direction, adopting and enforcing just as rigid a system of rules as obtains in the opera tion of steam railroads.

"Now, whoever in the world Mrs. Rose began. Her gossip Mrs. Brant checked with a gesture. "Don't you say a word, Sarah," she Interjected. "You've got no room not after what has happened right in your own house." "If Phoebe did run away with old Boyer It was in broad daylight," Mrs. Rose retorted. "Because nobody was at home and Ned might have come and married her right in the parlor if he'd a-had the spirit of a mouse." Mrs. Brant flung back: "As for Milly Gray and Jimmy Hinton, I say It's a shame they got caught. Not that I approve of runaway matches but with a daddy like the squire, it's all the sort of a match Milly ever can make." "That's all you know spite o' think ing you know everything," Mrs. Rose said huffily. "Milly can have the big gest sort of wedding, and four new silk dresses, any time she'll say yes to Steve Murray. Squire thinks the sun rises and sets in Steve "Because nobody else does, I reck on," Mrs. Brant broke in with spirit. "My land! If that's how the wind blows stopping as though further speech would be an impertinence. "You're wrong again," Mrs. Rose said acidly. "At least, according to my guess. Squire wants Milly to mar rv Steve partly because Steve's so driving and thriving, but more because he thinks, with Steve clean out of the count, Widow- McBee might change her name to Gray as It is, she won't hear to it." "Won't eh? That Is news." Mrs. Brant chuckled. "She's a sight young er than the squire not so much more'n Milly's age. But there's no fool like an old one all of us know that. I'm glad you told me, Sarah. All along I've wanted to help Milly now I'm just bent and bound to do it some way, somehow." Mrs. Brant was an ally worth hav ing shrewd, bold, a person of conse quence in the neighborhood, also a person of substance and all powerful with her husband. She went straight to see Milly; thence on to the' Widow McBee. a person rather vaeue as to everything save a sense that she was entitled always to have her own way. "It ought to be the minister, not me. come to talk to you, Maria." Mrs. Brant began without preamble as she sat down in the second best McBee rocker. "At your time of life, a wid ow, too, and-a church member, the Idee of keeping two men dangling, not knowing where they stand I say it's shameful." "Whatever do you mean Mrs. Mc Bee demanded, bridling with delight. She had married her only chance his death had left her well endowed. but so far she had so few beaux, the Imputation of coquetry was incense to her starved vanity. "I'll name, no names, right ont, Mrs. Brant said diplomatically. "But It's all over the neighborhood that two of the best chances In it are just plum off their heads on account of you. No. I won't tell you who but If you ask my advice I might say which and let you guess the other." "You always would tease, Julia Brant," Mrs. McBee simpered. "Now, I don't know one bit what you're driving at but go ahead and pick out a good husband for me seeing you make out I can get one for the tak ing." "Asa Gray ia as cranky as a ram's horn, most ways but his wife was a queen to him what wouldn't a sec ond wife be?" Mrs. Brant demanded. "Nobody needn't hang back over the daughter, neither Milly s going into a decline, if ever I saw anybody that was this morning, when I went there. she sat looking over her mother's jew- i elry you know Mrs. Gray had dia monds and a ruby ring, and the cun- ningest watch, blue enamel all over and she said to me right pitiful: I hope daddy will get some nice, pretty woman to wear all these. He must have somebody when I'm gone." "The poor child!" Mrs. McBee ejaculated. "How can her pa cross her and she In such a state?" "Men are cruel when they're jeal ous," Mrs. Brant pronounced oracular ly. "Squire, used to think Milly could 1 not do a wrong thing but since he fell in love and you torment him so r "Now, Julia, .you're making out a lot more than is true," Mrs. McBee broke in. "If I thought you were tell ing the truth I'd never have another minute's peace until things were straightened." "Then get to work right off," Mrs. I Brant demanded. j "How can I?" her hostess asked, j Mrs. Brant turned scornful eyes on her. "You, a woman and a widow, ask me that?" she said. "When you know better than anybody, all you've sot to do it to tell Asa Gray unless j he treats his daughter right, you'll say yes to Steve Murray "I never named him you can't say I did," Mrs. McBee cried, flushing deeply. In truth Mrs. Brant had come to her at the psychological moment- Steve Murray had all but rejected the McBee farm and its mistress only the evening before. Both had been of fered tentatively, but In a way he could not choose but understand. He had been brutal in a seeming of mis understanding judge, then, what balm Mrs. McBee found in her friend s sum Dt ions. Mrs. Brant pursed her lip. "I reckon nobody needs to name him not as long as they've got eyes to see she said. "It'll serve him out fine, you taking: the squire. Steve's made his brags all along; he had just to say the word, and any woman would marry him." "He Is a conceited thing," Mrs. Mc Bee admitted. "But I can't think about my own concerns I'm going right straight off to see poor little Mil ly. And If I get the chance, her pa'll get one good talking to I'm going to tell him to let her marry jimmy tun ton rieht off. and send them out to California, where Milly can get strong again. Patience knows, he's got the monev to do it and if he hasn t "You have. And you can't put it to better use," Mrs. Brant said heartily. "Maria, you talk like a mother and a Christian I love you better than I ever did before." The very next afternoon' Mrs. Mc Bee drove away from the Gray phvee, her face wreathed in smiles- Milly had clung to her, weeping tears of Joy as they parted, and the squire had handed her Into her bcegy, with an air of devotion wonderful to see. "You say I may come over tomorrow morn ing?" he had asked. "Good! We'll settle everything And I can't thank you enough for makin me see the right" He waa not so old, not yet fifty, moreover, fine looking and of a good presence, much more personable than Steve Murray at his best, she decid ed. And the Gray place was certain ly a home any woman might be proud of. She could queen it there as 3he had never done in her own small house the late Silas McBee had held that money was to be kept, not spent. To do her justice, her heart warmed more at the memory of Milly face than at the thought of all the- material gain such a marriage meant to her. She was radiant with a radiance that went far to making her handsome. Steve Murray realized it suddenly they met in the road a little way off his own gate. "Howdy, Miss Maria. I guess I'll come over tonight," he said off-hand-edly. "Seems like I recollect some thing you said when I was there last that I didn't answer right." "Now, I wonder what It could a-been!" Mrs. McBee said reflectively. "Oh! I remember now it was about the Blue Games. You forgot to tell me whether or not you wanted them If you do want ehem you're Just in time to be too late Squire Gray has spoke for all I've got as well as ev erything else- on the place." A meaning droop of lids carried home the last words. Steve wheeled his horse and galloped angrily away. Manlike, he had found out that he wanted the widow badly in the mo ment he knew her to be beyond reach. (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Literary Press.) Gay Marine Jailed. Every time Robert E. Barnes, an enlisted man in the United States ma rine corps, stationed in the barracks in the Brooklyn navy yard, receives an allowance from his wealthy parents he finds the arduous routine of service life a bore. He has a way of his own to vary the monotony that has caused trouble often in the last few months. His last escapade has cost him two months fit his freedom, and yesterday he was nut in the brig, or prison, con-i gratulating himself on his luck in not having been discharged dishonorably from tha service. Barnes, who will inherit a rich estate, formerly was a sergeant, but by his protracted absences without leave he gradually -has been .reduced in rank, and the chance he once had of getting a commission as a second lieutenant is lost, About two months ago Barnes was a sergeant with a fine military record, and he eir-od well in the estimation of his offici -s. He In herited a large amount of money, and from the day he came into possession of the first allowance his downward career began. At that time it was reo ported he spent J 13,000 In two weeks, remaining away from the barracks for several days. He is said to have spent the mnnev in lav chamnasrne Runners and automobile rides that furnished1 the squad rooms with something to talk about for weeks. When he returned to the barracks he was placed under arrest and tried by summary court martial. A board of three officers sentenced him to be reduced to a corporal, and it was thought this r punishment would straighten him out. But there was more money to be spent, and the temptation proved too strong for Barnes. He was reported absent with out leave soon after, and as long aa the money lasted he shunned the bar racks. On his return he was brought before another summary court and was disrated to private, with a loss of one month's pay. He just had recovered from this shock when another allowance of sev eral thousand dollars came, and Barnes found the roll of bank notes much too burdensome for his pockets). Again he flew to his old haunts, and it was conceded this time he had made his last disappearance, for he now was a private, and if he return ed it was more than likely he would get "a yellow ticket," or dishonorable discharge. Barnes had been gone nine days, and. when it seemed his name would be added to the roll of deserters, those absent ten days or more, he surprised the officer of the day by reporting just one hour inside the limit. Once more the brig held him, and another summary court was convened to try him. His comrades sympathized with him, for they saw visions of the cer emony when he would be drummed out of the navy yard. But Barnes luck was with him again. The court sentenced him to 60 days' imprison ment and the loss of two months' pay. New York Press. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. TProm the Chicago News. Empty heads are the easiest turned. Better prlve away your time than spend It foolishly. It Is usually the "good fellow" who has the most bad habits. A widow's second matrimonial play Is apt to be a sure-thing game. As a matter of fact the majority of people would like to be honest. The principles of a good many men run to inclinations and then stop. Few women are as handsome as they think men ought to think they are. It's tough on a man who is too lazy to work and can't get elected to office. Two may be able to live as cheaply as one If the one doesn't have to pay ali mony. While it is well to meet your obligations promptly, it is better to have no obliga tions. If a man is honest with himself he can be depended upon to give his neighbors a square deal. After a man has been married a week he begins to unlearn a lot of things he knew about women. A married man says the shortest season of the year is the time between fall millinery openings and Christmas. The girl who says she wouldn't marry the best man living is lucky if she doesn't eventually capture one of the worst. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.

LET TILE PEOPLE KJVO W Attitude of Topeka on Prohibi tion W ill Be demonstrated. ltev. Chas. M. Sheldon Receives Letters of Irquir3'. The talk on the streets today is of the "town meeting," which will be held at the Auditorium this evening for the purpose of expressing indigna tion over the sentiments exeressed by Mayor J. B. Billard relative to the ef fect of the prohibitory laws in Kan sas. Several other meetings of a smaller nature, which were to have been held this evening have been postponed, and it is expected that there will be a capacity audience to hear the speeches of John R. Mulvane, Dr. F. L. Love land, E. L. Copeland, Scott Hopkins, Oapt. J. G. Waters, William Macferran, Charles K. Holliday and others. The new organ of the First Baptist church will be dedicated according to previous arrangements. There is a possibility of a second "town meeting" being held for the purpose of vindicating Mayor Billard. A prominent business man said today: "There has been a demand for an other meeting, not to endorse any sen timents of Mayor Billard, but as a re buke to the self appointed citizens who take it upon themselves to harass public officiate because they dare to express their views. "Two or three small conferences have been held, but no definite action relative to a second meeting has been taken.

AVALON BAKERY 83 1 Kansas Avenue how warm the speeches wax this even ing." Scores of letters are being daily re ceived in Topeka from those who write to inquire as to the actual exist ing conditions in the capital city. Dr. Sheldon Gets Letters. "It is not an easy matter," said Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, of the Central Congregational church, "to explain tc people at a distance why the capital city of Kansas has a mayor who does not believe in prohibition. The best an swer tothis embarrassing question will be for the citizens of this town to elect one who does." The following letter from S. H. Mor rill, pastor of the First Christian church of Laconia, N. H., is a sample of those being received by Dr. Sheldon almost daily: "I presume you may have heard of the 'National Association of Manufac turers and Business Men.' That or ganization, through a branch of its or ganization in this state, is to send speakers for a few days Into our state to discuss the question of liquor sell ing from an anti-prohibition stand point. "In papers yesterday a partial list of the officers of this association was pub lished, and among them was the name of 'Mayor J. B. Billard. Topeka, Kan.' As I know you have been many years in that city, and having had the privi lege of meeting you once, (at New Bed ford, Mass., at the State C. E. conven tion, 1900, when I was chairman of the local committee) I write to ask about him. Of course you know the man. I see by the World Almanac, 1910, that your mayor is William Green, whose term of office does not expire until next April. "What are Mr. Billard's views on the liquor question? I presume he is an enemy of the prohibition policy of your state. Is he in any way identified with the liquor traffic? You can judge what information I would like. Any facts that you can give me about him which can be used to nullify the influence of the speakers to be sent into the state will be gratefully received." Here Is a different type of letter re-. ceived from J. E. Baddshaw of Prince Albert, Canada, a member of the leg islative assembly for the province of Saskatchewan: "Having read many of your most ex cellent books, and judging from these that you would be interested in any and every movement which has for its object the betterment of conditions generally, and more especially as ap plied to the question of intemperance.

"If you will therefore be good enough to give me a leaf out of the book of your experience, along with other information in your possession, I shall be greatly obliged to you.

Salt Lake Woman Claims to Have a Letter Revealing Mans for the Murder of Stanley Ketchel. Springfield, Mo., Oct. 28. A letter received today by the chief of police of Springfield, signed "Mrs. Maud Nugget," and mailed in Salt Lake city, purports to give facts of an alleged conspiracy hatched by Walter Dipley and Mrs. Goldie Smith to rob and at tack Stanley Ketchel, the middle weight champion pugilist, who was shot and fatally wounded near Con way, Mo., October 16. Mrs. Nugget asserts that the Smith woman wrote her of the plans against Ketchel and the chief of police has wired the officials at Salt Lake City to learn the identity of Mrs. Nugget and if possible gain possession of the Smith letter if it exists. Dipley and Mrs. Smith are having their preliminary hearing at Marsh field, Mo., where they are held on a charge of murder. The hearing be gan this morning. The first testi mony introduced was practically the same as that offered at the coroner's inquest but the state promised to pre sent some new evidence and damag ing testimony later. It is likely that all the evidence will not be in before tomorrow. SCHENCK IS BUSY. County Attorney Holding: a Liquor In- quisltion. County Attorney J. J. Schenck and Sheriff J. D. Norton are holding a se cret inquisition at the court house, and a score of witnesses have filed in and out of the reception room. It is un derstood that the tip as to who might know something of the liquor business of Topeka was furnished by Clerin-on-the-Spot Zumwalt. Just who the officers are after can not be determined for the inquisition law provides air tight secrecy in the matter as a recompense for making a man tell everything asked, no matter how hesitant or reluctant he may be. That the inquisition is a profitable one seems evident from the number of witnesses and the length of time they take to tell their stories. If there is any liquor traffic and who is guilty if there is. no longer Is so difficult of discovery on account of the inquisition provisions, and some raids are immi nent. TWO RECORDS GO.

GIVEN THET ACTS. People Are Learning tha Fair Situation. Money Will Be Used to Improve County Property. UP TO THE FARMERS. Proposition One That Directly Concerns Them. Win. Hnford Tells Why He Favors Toting Yes. The farmers are evincing more and more interest in the proposed $50,000 bond issue for permanent improve ments on the state fair grounds. Many of them at first did not quite under stand the proposition and were neces sarily opposed to voting this sum of money. Thousands of folders are being mail ed today to the taxpayers among the farmers, giving facts about the need of money at this time, and the permanent improvements which have already been made on the grounds. "This is one time where the voting of bonds brings large returns in actual cash, besides increasing the value of every foot of real estate in the coun ty." reads the folder. "The proposed issue of $50,000 im provement bonds for the fair grounds by Shawnee county is not a gift of o0.uuo to the state fair, if issued the proceeds of the bonds will be spent by the county commissioners in buildings and improvements of the grounds, the buildings and improvements being the property of the county. "The object of the issue is to help the establishment of the annual state fair as a permanent institution of the state located in this county, and it will go a long way towards that object as well as in strengthening the fair asso ciation in its arguments before the leg islature for state backing. "The residents of this county who have put $50,000 of their own money into the state fair project have made the investment, not with the idea of taking down large dividends, but as a good thing for the whole county. These stockholders are also taxpayers and without an exception stand ready to support a bond issue of $50,000, of which they must pay their share as property owners and taxpayers, for the improvement of the fair grounds. "In its first year the new state fair management won the confidence of the exhibitors at all the great state fairs of the west. The feeling is that the state fair is well started, with the backing of local stockholders who put $50,000 into it in advance of the dem onstration that it could and would make good. "If we are to go before the legisla ture for state support we should show our confidence in the state fair by voting the bond issue that will provide improvements needed now, demanded by the success of this year's fair and the certain demands upon the accom modations that will be made next year. Let Shawnee county come to the front next month and support the bond issue by a strong majority. It will be an in vestment that will pay its cost many times over. "This help is needed now. A year or two hence will not do. Shawnee county must make its showing now. This is our opportunity to establish a permanent state fair for Kansas right at our own doors. Other counties in the state would pay q bonus for what is ours by natural conditions. Be sure and vote yes on this proposition. Don't overlook it." Representatives of the Commercial club and State Fair association will at tend the various sales In the county between now and election day, No vember 8, and all inform the farmers of the facts of the bond question. A week from today a postcard will be issued and mailed to farmers of the county, giving a few additional facts relative to the proposed issue. County Must Help. "I have always believed in living while I live, is the way William Bin ford expresses himself on the ques tion of voting aid for the purpose of developing a great state fair here in Shawnee county. "Of course the bonds should be voted, said Mr. Binford "We should have had .i great state fair here years ago ajid such an Insti tution can not be brought about un less the community favors it and says so by extending such financial aid as is necessary to get it on its feet. I have lived in Shawnee county for 30 years and have watched the city grow, from a small town into a great commercial center and the adjoining country from raw prairie into wealth producing farms. I own a quarter sec tion seven miles southwest of Topeka and would be willing to pay many times what my additional taxes will be to assure a great state fair. "Such a fair held annually means thousands of dollars to the merchants of Topeka and to the farmers of Shaw nee county for their interests are identical and Interlinked. Then we are not throwing money away for every dollar of it must be expended on the fair grounds for permanent Improve ments and these grounds belong to the taxpayers of the county. "When the farmers understand tha everything is on the square and above board I believe that they win be the strongest supporters of the proposi tion. In reality they are the ones who receive the greatest direct benefit from a state fair, it's their products which go to make the fair; the city man has nothing to show in the line or agricul tural products or live stock.

State Board of Health Advise Drastic Action in Several Counties. Recognizing that Doniphan, Atchi son, Jeffergton and Leavenworth coun ties are in an area infected with ra bies, the state board of health has written a letter to the boards of coun ty commissioners urging that an order be issued to the effect that for ninety days all dogs are to be muzzled. Nine ty days will cover any possible period of incubation of the affection and it is to stamp out the rabies that have developed that the action has been taken. It ia reported that eight or ten per sons have been bitten in Leavenworth county in the last few weeks to say nothing about large numbers of head of valuable stock. "The Liver Pills act So Naturally and Easily." Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I have used Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and also your Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with good results. The Liver Pills act so naturally and so easily that I scarcely know that I have taken a pill. Frequently being troubled with headache I take an Anti-Pain Pill and get Immediate relief in every case." A. L. Wilson, Sparta, 111. Mr. 'Wilson was for a number of years cashier of the First National Bank of Sparta. Dr. MAes' Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver pills are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills do not act by sheer force but in an easy, natural way, with out griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming.

The subscriptions in twenty-four hours as reported at the noon gathering of campaign workers at the headquarters, 823 Kansas ave nue, amounted to $2,107.25, making a total of So. 940.25 to date. It was shown today that a number of the teams are not going after "Old Jumbo" sufficiently vigorously wun harpoons, and that if the jungle mon ster is to be annihilated wilhin the nine day limit there will have to be some tall hustling. In the business men's section team No. 1 with E. L. Copeland as chairman leads with 1,375 as the total amount of subscriptions to date. The an nouncement was made this noon by this team of the gift of $500 by E. P. Kipley. president of the Santa Fe rail way system. President Ripley was given three enthusiastic cheers. This gift coming as it does from an outsider, speaks well for the gener osity of President Ripley, and should be an incentive to local business men to give loyally towards the cause. Team No. 6, captained by E. W. Rankin, leads in the young men's sec tion with a total amount in pledges of $777.50. In the women's department team No. 6, under Edith Nash, is ahead with $247 fn subscriptions. Robert Stone gave a short and en thusiastic talk this noon. He was in troduced as Captain Stone.

Johnson, who is one of the leading attorneys of the state, and who was the Insurgent can didate at the August primaries, in which he won by a surprisingly large vote, gave valuable assistance to Francis J.

He is ex tremely confident of the result and says he would not be surprised to win by a plurality of at least 50,000. Meyer Lissner, chairman of the Republican state central committee, says the indi cations are for a sweeping Republican success and that Johnson's plurality will run from 75,000 to 100,000. Lincoln.

Woem Otlsit Door Tlii The Interesting Story Of How a Man Conceived and Worked Out a New Idea in Sewing Machines. BY V. M. JOHNSON About ten years ago a Chicago man, William C. Free, became firmly convinced that the time was ripe for a new type of family sewing machine. For tunately, he was progressive there was no trace of fogyism nor prejudice in his make up. He was a thorough-going sewing machine man, an experienced inventor, and he knew that there was no completely perfect machine on the market. He knew that for twenty-five years no improvements of movement had been made in sewing machines. Unlike all others in the field, he was no content to follow the policy of "Let well enough alone." His ambitions, his progressiveness, spurred him on to something better. "This new machine," said he, "must not only be a good machine (there are many such), it must be the perfect machine. Then came the question of what should the im provement consist where to begin and where to leave off? Wrho will ever realize the thought given over to the answer of this Question, the sleepless nights endured the days of study (for remember, this man was attempting to do what no other man or set of men had done since Elias Howe had first invented the sewing machine) As if by inspiration it came to him, "Why not find out what tho people want what they actually need to make the sewing machine more convenient more handy to operate to give perfect sewing?" This was the answer simple in the extreme, but (as he afterwards discovered) entailing an enormous amount of toil, thought and expense. He called in his associates, among whom were some of the best sewing machine men in the coun try, and there followed a period of investigation a search such as has never been equaled for thorough ness and completness. They went to the bottom of the subject. They went to the home and talked with the house wife. They interviewed sewing machine salesmen and agents. They discussed the matter with the highest offi cials of sewing machine manufactories. They questioned shop superintendents and fore men and debated it with the man on the bench. They gathered together a library consisting of every piece of sewing machine literature in existence, including the complete patent records on the. sub ject. They called conventions of experienced sewing ma chine men, where these points and their merits were thoroughly discussed, and their value determined. After this vast amount of information was sum med up it stood in brief as follows: Of all the good machines, each had some parti cular points of advantage not possessed by other ma chines. And likewise each machine with these good points was also the possessor of a great many bad points. This was proven conclusively there was not one sewing machine In the world which approached perfection. One machine was found to be light running, but on the other hand it was very complicated and dif ficult to operate. Another would show certain advantages in the shuttle, but some deficiency would be found in the feed, and so on down the list. There was no guess work about this. They dug deep, and after their foundation was laid they were ready to build from the bottom up. The first step was the elimination of all the bad points. These, with no ceremony, were relegated to the scrap heap. Work was then begun on all the good points se lected from good machines the world over. They took the best feed there was and Improved it. They took the best shuttle and improved it. They took the best stand on the market and Im proved it. They took the best furniture and improved it. And so when the work was completed there was and absolutely perfect machine and that one THE FREE as they call it. with all the pood points of all machines with not a single bad one) a machine that is admitted by housewife, merchant, salesman and sewing machine man, to be superior to any ma chine ever marketed.

8 HEARING HOME. (Continued from Paee One lake and shouted 'hello' several times. The call was answered and in a short time Josef Peneaud and Josef Simon, two trappers, paddled up in a canoe. "After explaining our situation to them, they agreed to aid us in reach ing the nearest habitation. We went by canoe to Lake Blanche, where we camped Monday night. Our new found friends caught some trout and we enjoyed the first good meal in a long time. The remainder of our jour ney was comparatively easy." More than a score of telegrams, con taining words of praise for the achievement of the aeronauts and ex tending congratulations, were delivered to Hawley and Post on their arrival here. Both Mr. Post and Mr. Hawley spoke appreciatively of the efforts made by the provincial governments of Ontaria and Quebec and the Do minion authorities and their agents in trying to effect their rescue. HAWXEY'S OWX STORY. Describes in Retail His Record Break ing Trip From St. Louis. Quebec. Oct. 2 8. Alan R. Hawley. who, with Augustus Post, in the bal loon America II. won the international race and established a new world's distance record, describes the remark able flight from St. Louis in a graphic manner. His story follows: "The balloon America II left St. Louis October 17 at 6:45 o'clock in the evening, prepared to stay the limit in the international trophy. Before the ritart I had a conference with Ma jor Hersey as reaards weather condi tions and his advice was followed throughout the trip. He said we were on the outer wheel of a high barome ter, with a low following, and that if we kept close to the ground that (Monday) night we would go north, possibly a trilie west of north, switch ing in the morning toward the north east and then to the east. His advice was remarkably correct, as the trip showed. "We made a nice start and estab lished an equilibrium a few hundred feet above the ground on one and a half bags of ballast. We were carried along at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour until we struck the bottom lands along the Mississippi river, where we were held for some time. Getting over this, we still held our low position, and Tuesday morning ap proached Lake Michigan between Mil waukee and Port Washington." After describing the drift of the balloon over Lake Michigan. Mr. Haw ley says they were much interested in seeing a steamer set out from shor and follow them some distance and then turn back. By Tuesday night they had" passed Lake Nipissing, and the balloon was in first class condition. Continuing, he says: "The next communication we had with the ground was Wednesday morn ing, when we hailed a lumber camp, and were told that we were heading direct into the wilderness. But feeling sure that the higher currents would carry us east, we did not hesitate to continue. We were traveling north if east still. "Nothing but woods and lakes and rivers hour after hour. We traveled at great speed at an altitude of from 16,000 to 19,000 feet. In the neighbor hood of 5 o'clock Wednesday after noon we got a glimpse of Lake St. John, and knew absolutely our posi tion. In passing the lake, we realized that there was a change in our direc tion and we were being carried more to the north. Knowing the currents would take us still farther north, w-5 made up our minds that it was suicide to go further on. "It was surely disappointing to be compelled to land here, as we had only the distance record beaten, but a good chance for the amateur duration rec ord, which is 48 hours. We had been up 46 hours, with the balloon still In first class condition, with eight 50 pound bags of ballast left in the car and a lot of stuff we could have thrown away. But that storm was coming on rapidly and threatening to blow us up north into a country from which there seemed no chance of get ting out. "We had a mental photograph of the surrounding country and made all ship-shape to land. We crossed over what seemed to be a small lake, but which later proved to be a river. The valve was now wide open, to let our. the gas, and we were descending rapid ly from an altitude of about 5.000 feet. We had started down from 18.000 feet, when the storm gathered. "There was no decent landing place to be seen in any direction. There was nothing to do but to take to the brush. In about two minutes we struck the top of some trees. To ease the fall. I threw out a bag of ballast. We started up, and I promptly used tne ripping panel, letting the gas all escape with a rush. "We were carried at a terrific speed 4t. ,,rrfb 1 A r O m it in y bff f)U I vim, j I i u over the trees tops for a few hundred feet, when the balloon caught in the trees and we were dumbfounded to find that had landed In a forest, the trees being anywhere from 50 io 75 feet tall. 'Thursday morning we were up at daylight, which was about 6:30 o'clock in that latitude. "Up to the top of a nearby hill we went to reconnoiter. Nothing but wild erness in every direction. After break fast, consisting of hot soup, rolls and crackers, taken from the supplies in the basket, we decided to leave the balloon where it was and to look for help." COXQCERORS OP THE AIR. Some Former Thrilling Balloon Adven tures of Hawley and Post. St. Lcuis, Oct. 27. A landing In ths heart of the Canadian wilderness adds only one more experience to the lore; line of unusual and perilous ones that have fallen to the lot of Alan R. Haw ley and Augustus Post since they took up ballooning. Perhaps the most remarkable of Post's adventures was when the fam ous American balloon. Conqueror, in which :.e and A. H. Forbes of the New York Aero club were racing at Berlin, Germany, fell 3.000 feet and crashed through the roof of a house into a room where a man was dressing. The fall was caused by a rent in the envelope, which let the gas escape rap idly. They were saved by the envelope of the balloon forming a kind of para chute and checking their descent just before they hit the roof of the house. Neither was injured, and Mr. Post got some remarkable photographs of the wreckage of the balloon and house. Two months ago Mr. Post tried his hand at managing an aeroplane. He made a flight at Sheepshead Bay race track, which broke all record.', for lucky escapes, and landed safely, after huro ling two fences with a disabled ma chine. He has stuck to ballooning since. Mr. Hawley is the third vke presi dent of the Aero club. In 1907, when h was making ascensions to obtain a pilot's license, he had a narrow escape from being carried out to sea in tlv? balloon Initial, in which he sailed from Philadelphia. As it was, the balloon landed in a creek, and Mr. Hawley was ducked several times before he suc ceeded in getting clear of the car. During a night ascension near Paris in the same year Mr. Hawley got mixed up with an electric storm; his drag rope joined two clouds and the balloon shone like a great sun, while St. Elmo's fire twinkled on every point. Both Mr. Hawley and Mr. Post have competed in other international races. CATCH HIM ON THE FLY. Election Returns Will Be Wired to Taft on His Train. Washington, Oct. 28 Returns of the election next Tuesday week fraught with interest most unusual for an "off year" will have to catch President Taft on the wing. The presi dent will be traveling all through elec tion night, returning to Washington from Cincinnati, whither he will go to vote. Leaving Cincinnati in the early aft ernoon of election day, after having spent about six or seven hours in his home city, the president probably will receive the first scattering returns showing the drift in the eastern states when he reaches Columbus, shortly before 6 o'clock in the- evening. Cen tral time. By that hour the result in New York state can be accurately forecasted. Arrangements are being made in the telegraphic division at the White House to furnish the president with all the news available in Washington. Special wires will be looped into the telegraph room at the executive of fices and concise bulletins will be pre pared and forwarded from there to the president's train. So far as known, no attempt will be made to use the wireless. This is the first time, so far as can be recalled, that such a plan has had to be devised to inform a president of important election re sults. Mr. Roosevelt used to go to Oyster Bay to vote at all elections, but al ways returned to Washington in time to get the news at the W'hite House. Cincinnati, being more distant than Oyster Bay from the capital, makes it impossible for the president to get back to Washington until the morning after the ballots have been cast. Raching Washington the morning of November 9, the president will spend but a few hours in this city, leaving again in the afternoon for Charleston, S. C, and sailing from that city for Panama at noon on November 10. Ray Hall Orchestra will play for Sunday Evening Six O'clock Dinner this winter at the Throop Hotel. Mealo 50 cents.

New York, Oct. 2 8. Such are the caprices of October weather that Ralph Johnstone and Arch Hoxsey, of the Wright team of aviators, went up for altitude at Belmont park yesterday afternoon and brought down the rec ord of the day for distance. Johnstone and Hoxsey tried to imi tate the gull, to set their wings and soar into the gale without effort, but they showed that the "way of an eagle in the air" is still one of the things man does not understand. They kept their poise beautifully, but, although the speed of the biplane they were flying is normally 35 miles an hour, and their engines were running wide open, they were pushed steadily out of view and down over the edge of the horizon. The upper gale they were jamming must have been more than 40 miles an hour, but neither was will ing to come down before the other, and they stuck it out until forced to land by sheer compulsion of the elements. Both were driven miles off the course. Word came from Hoxsey first that he had landed safely at Brent wood, L. I., about 25 miles distant. Johnstone was carried 55 miles to Middle Island village. Long Island. These were the two longest flights of the day. Each telephoned in that they hoped to fly back to the course today. For the first hourly distance event, the only routine number remaining on the program,' the sole entrant was Latham, in an Antoinette. He finished the hour with only 14 laps. 21.7 miles, in 55 minutes. 24.50 seconds; and the fig ures show how persistent was his battle with the gale; but they cannot bring out as did the image itself his beauti ful maneuvering. One thousand feet above the grandstands he journeyed his way around the turns by sheer re sourcefulness and nerve. The gale was so obstinate that he had to point head into it and steer due north in order tc edge sidewise, like a ferry boat in a run of tide, and make distance to the west. A special event for distance and alti tude was added to the program to amuse the crowd, but it was long before any one came out for it. Finally Aude mars, a Swiss, in a tiny Demoiselle, danced over the course; but it was no weather for a yellow butterfly, and after two rounds Audemars learned prudence and went back to the hang ars. If he had started just one min ute earlier he might have won the easi est money of the meet $250 for first in hourly distance with one lap, but the bomb banged before he was three quarters way round. To Brookins, instead, fell the easy money. With a flight lasting only 20 minutes, in which he rose to 'a minor altitude of 650 feet, he brought down $500 for first place in a special event for altitude and duration. It could not be called a contest because he had no competitor, but Brookins felt he had earned the money. "Twenty-five dollars a minute may seem high pay," he said, "but I went out to prove the ability of an Ameri can machine to ride a gale that no for eigner would dare." PLAXS FOR BIG RACE. It Will Be Flown Over a Course of 62.14 Miles. New York. Oct. 28. The American team of defenders in the race tomor row for the Gordon Bennett trophy, premier event of the international avi ation tournament at Belmont park, will be Walter R. Brookins. J. Arm strong Drexel and Chas K. Hamilton. Brookins will fly the new Wright racer; Drexel will use a Bleriot mono plane and Hamilton will be mounted on his new 110-horsepower "Hamil tonian The team was selected by the ex ecutive committee of the Aero Club of America after a session lasting un til nearly 1 o'clock this morning. Three substitutes were named as follows: John B. Moisant, Arch Hoxsey and "Bud" Mars. The rules of the International Aero nautical federation governing the meet provide that the contestants must be named by the clubs 2 4 hours before the date fixed for the contest.. As the weather conditions made the elimina tion trials, set first for Wednesday and then for yesterday, impossible, the club had to name its candidates through its executive committee, head ed by President Cortlandt Field Bishop. Glenn H. Curtiss, whose victory at Rheims brought the international trophy to this country, announced some time ago that he would not defend the prize in person but it is regarded as remarkable that none of his racing squad was included in the Aero club's choice for the team. Mars, a Curtiss racer, is named as a substitute. The new Curtiss single surface racing ma chine is therefore unlikely to be seen in the competition unless Breckins, Drexel or Hamilton withdraw. The English entrants in the contest ore Claude Grahame-White and James Radley, both of whom will use 50 horse power Bleriot monoplanes. France will be represented by Alfred Le Blanc with a Bleriot racer of 100 horse power; Hu bert Latham, who flies a 100 horse power Antoinette monoplane, and Count De Lesseps in a 50 horse power Bleriot. The course over which the race will be flown is five kilometers in length and must be rounded twenty times. The distance, therefore, is 100 kilo meters or about 62.14 miles. The race at Rheims last year, won by Curtiss, was only 20 kilometers, 12.43 miles. The winner of tomorrow's race will, it is believed, be compelled to cover the 62.14 miles in less than fifty-five min utes, judging from what has already been done on the course. The contest for supremacy between the biplane and the monoplane will be one of the chief features of the race. M. E. BISHOPS SEE TAFT. The President Gives Them a Talk on Missionary Work. Washington, Oct. 28. The score of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church attending the semiannual meet ing of the board of bishops in this city were received by President Taft at the White House. Bishop Warren, of Den ver, made a brief address to the presi dent, in which he outlined the work that the Methodist Episcopal church has in view. The president, in re sponding said: "The militant missionary character of the Methodist church has shown itself not only in this country, but in countries far removed from civiliza tion, and it has developed the influence and benefits of missions in a way that perhaps twenty or thirty years ago dii not seem possible. I believe, and I think you will agree with me, that the attitude of the general public towards foreign missions today is almost revo lutionized, and that you find as you go about and urge contributions for that purpose a willingness to listen and an interest in the w-ork that perhaps you have never found before. "Now, I do not want to be invidious, and I am not a critic of my fellowmen. especially those who entertain differ ent political views from my own, but there was a time when the policy of this government towards the Philip pines and towards those dependencies that have come to us from the Spanish war, was severely condemned because it was supposed that we were reach ing out with a greed of territory and a greed of power, rather than with the desire to advance the cause of civiliza tion and help our fellowmen. "I think the policies that have been followed and the developments that have resulted through the agencies of your church have proven the error of those who were entirely sincere in their criticism and who were fearful of the effect that policy would have upon our government. I believe that the result has changed their views.

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN Is the Outlook for Chicago's Popula tion in. the Future. Chicago, Oct. 28. That the next generation in this city will contain many more men than women is fore casted by the scattering returns from the church census just taken by the Cook County Sunday School associa tion. The figures are incomplete but it is learned from the reports-of several census enumerators employed that while there are at present more adult women than men in Chicago, there are not nearly so many girls as boys. The report of the census enumerator in one of the subdivisions of the Third precinct of the Twenty-fifth ward shows that in that subdivision are 1,590 adult women and 1,134 adult males; 123 young women between the ages of 13 and 19 years, and 188 young men between the same ages, while of children betwen the ages of 3 and 12 years only 131 are girls, while 242 are boys. Reports from other precincts in other parts of the city show the same tendency. I will make the meals as popular at the Throop this winter as I did at the Elks.

Crop damage reports from Australia took on serious proportions but were discount ed heavily as recent advices have indi cated a record yield in that country.

The market opened c to c lower. Decem ber started at 92c to 93c, a loss of c to c and fell to 92c. Fair support on scaled orders from shorts caused a rally, but selling from southwestern points lead to weakness again. The close was heavy with) Decem ber at 924c, a net decline of 1 cent.

TO SAVE HIS JOB. An Engineer Ioses His life on the Chicago Northwestern. Chicago, Oct. 28. Obedience to the new state law, which requires that a locomotive engineer must not be on duty longer than 16 hours cost the life of Wiliam Strommer o, the Chicago Northwestern railroad, who died in th3 hospital at Waukegan. Strommer was on a heavy freight train running from Milwaukee to Chi cago. He reached Norton Park, when he realized that he could not get to Chicago in time by pulling the whole train. The rules of the company permit a man to abandon his train and rush his engine to headquarters. This Strommer tried to do by pulling his train on a side track and leaving thj caboose on the main line. In bringing back the engine to the caboose it over turned and he was pinned beneath it, crushed and scalded by the boilins; water. Had he not reached Chicago within the 16 hours he would have been dis charged. The fine against the com pany is $100 for each offense. GASOLINE IRON FATAL.

A growing girl who is confined within doors too much of the time, who over works, overstudies or is depressed by worry or care, needs the tonic treatment if she would avoid injury to her health which will mar her whole life. In addition to a proper tonic the patient should have nourishing and easily digest ed food, pure air and sunshine, rest and Bleep. Parents whose daughters grow de bilitated as they enter tneir 'teens should not watch them fade and droop but should ensure their healthful womanhood by the treatment which is endorsed in the following statement from Miss Frances R. Roche, of No. 1626 E. Evans avenue, Pueblo, Colo. Miss Roche says "I suffered from weakness for nearly a year when I was changing from girl hood to womanhood. I became all run down in health and had but very little blood. I did not have any. strength and could hardly drag around. There seem ed to be no life in me. Every month I passed through intense suffering. I had dizzy and vomiting spells and constant headaches. I was obliged to give up my work for a time. "I took medicine from a doctor but without relief. Through a friend's advice I gave Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial and was completely cured. I am well now and have had no return of my trouble. My mother has since used the pills as a tonic and thinks as highly ot them as I do." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are guaran teed to be safe and harmless to the most delicate constitution. They contain no morphine, opiate, narcotic, or anything to cause a drug habit. Owing to their blood-building property they are invalu able in the treatment of Buch diseases as ansemia, green sickness, rheumatism, and the after-effects of fevers. A new edition of our booklet, "Diseases of the Blood," giving more information about the treatment will be sent free on request to anyone interested. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold bv all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six ing from head to foot.

The Time, The Place and the Girl as played at the Grand fell far short of corning up to the brilliant catchy musi cal comedy as presented by the origi nal company, and the fact that the house was far from being packed in dicated that the play has been much seen in Topeka. The solo work by no means could be called good, and a needle and thread might have improved the condition of costumes in several instances, but nev ertheless the company as a whole was not bad. The chorus work received considerable applause, and there was dancing that was quite clever.

"Wildfire," the racing comedy, which will be seen at the Grand tonight, has been phenomenally successful in New York city, where it ran for one hun dred performances at the Liberty thea ter, and was only withdrawn then be cause of prior contracts at other thea ters. The central character is that of the handsome widow, Mrs. Barrington, which is being portrayed with marked success by Miss Luella Morey, the magnetic comedienne. The large cast also Includes the diminutive comedian, Gus Alexander, and other well known players. The original scenic produc tion is carried. There is one name connected with minstrelsy which always stands out prominently, like a beacon light, says the press agent. For thirty years Rich ards Pringle's Georgia minstrels have been well known. They will ap pear at the Grand Saturday matinee and night. Gus C. Weinburg heads the cast of "The Burgomaster" which comes to the Grand on Monday night. Sidney Drew's new comedy "Billy" which is to appear at the Grand next Wednesday is said to be one of the most overwhelming laugh producers that has come from New York in many years. It is a play built out of a sketch and one of the few instances where the aboration has proven more successful than the original playlet. The Gas Mantle That Stands the Racket THE TRUE Blue Gas Mantle stands the racket as no other mantle can. It is made stronger and lasts longer. It is durable. It never cracks, or blows holes in your globe. The ordinary shock or jar cannot dash it to smithereens. A shake or tremble has absolutely no effect. When you apply your lighted match there's no necessity of holding your breath for fear of smashing the mesh. GAS MANTLES should last you for 10 months. Their average life is 2000 burning hours. True Blue Gas Mantles consume less gas than any other mantle or patented tip on the market. A True Blue Mantle develops 120 candle power under ordi nary pressure 280 candle power with high pressure. That's eight times as powerful as the average electric bulb. Their use puts a decided crimp in your bills. If you use natural gas you simply must have True Blue Man tles. You actually use less gas and get the utmost out of the gas consumed. Go to your grocer and order a True Blue Mantle. They cost but 15 cents, either upright or inverted style.

Early winter fishing on Soldier creek has commenced. It is said that the best fishing of the season is in the creek this fall. Channel and mud cats as big as your pack porch are swimming around the creek hunting for something to eat. Here is a chance for the "sports" with the "jointed" rods. Work on the Melen bridge extension has been held up agaih this last hold up happened this morning. With the exception of Mayor Billard, everyone of the city officials is In favor of filling up the hole and forgetting the "dry iand bridge" but on account of the bond issue it is necessary that the work be dor.e. Sam Radges, who compiles the To peka directory, is confined to his rooms with an attack of rheumatism. "I haven't been out of the building in three weeks." said Radges, "and I don't know that I will be able to get out in three weeks more. I'm mighty glad there is no directory to handle right now." The latest book to be issued by a Topeka author is "Said a Kansas Man." This booklet came from the press today and is a credit to the young author, Rob M. Campbell.

Dr. Babb continues his work as milk inspector but legally he isn't in office. He will be reappointed probably, at the next meeting of the commissioners. P. J. Monaghan of the Southwestern Coal company says Topeka coal deal ers are praying for another month of warm weather. "A protracted cold spell right at this time would go pretty hard," said Monaghan. "We have been able so far to keep a supply of every thing but semi-anthracite, but the rail roads are not letting loose of that. I think every local dealer is short of coal at this time, but if the cold weather can wait another month it will greatly relieve the situation." DEMOCRATS ARE BUSY. State Committee Sending Out Great Quantities of Literature. If several thousand pounds of liter ature are to play an important part in the results of the November election, the Democratic committee will be in line for a bountiful harvest. Four girls have been busy for several weeks mail ing literature to every part of the state and every Democratic henchman in the most remote precinct is being remembered in the distribution. More than half million pieces of literature have gone out from the committee rooms since the campaign opened and several new installments are promis3d for the final week of battle. "Never in the last ten years have we maintained such a thorough working organization that has produced such evident results as in this campaign." was the statement made today by Chairman Henderson S. Martin. The state committee has a small army of road workers, who have been busy vis iting members of the county commit tees. They have worked faithfully and declare that the indications for a Democratic victory are most favorable Almost every school district has had its local meetings that border on the days of the Farmer's Alliance in point of attendance and enthusiasm. "If these meetings are of any sig nificance," said a member of a county committee who visited Topeka this week, "the farmers are certainly for us, and we will win. The quiet of the campaign is worrying the Republican organization. This quiet can mean but one thing that the voters will make their own selections and are saying very little about it." Vor several dnys the state committee has been flooded with letters from workers out over the state. The com mittee declares they have received names of less than 100 Democrats who are off the reservation, while on the ether hand, they claim to have names of hundreds of Republicans who will bolt Stubbs and the congressional nominees. These Republicans and un faithful Democrats are being swamped with literature in order to harmonize the sentiment for a Democratic victory. Flat denials are made by the com mittee that the Democrats will boit Hodges in any telling degree. Two Million in Gold. Seattle. Wash.. Oct. 28. Two million dollars in gold bullion was received from Alaska last night. Most of it was brought by the steamship Victoria from Nome, which had $1,900,000 worth of gold. The Jefferson, from Skagway. had an additional $100,000. A large crowd was at the wharf to see the treasure unloaded. Included in the gold received last night was a consignment of $103,500 from the new Iditarod dis trict. This makes a total of more than $700,000 that has been brought down from the new camp this season. Sunday school Teacher Nosr, who can tell me what a miracle is? Polly Please, teacher, mother" says it will be a miracle if you don't marry the curate. Roseleaf. G. O. Wilmarth, chief of the Topeka fire department pays as much attention to the prevention of fires as he does to their cure. "It is much easier and safer to keep from having fires than it is to fight them after they have started," said the fire marshal today, "and if the people or the city loin with me we will all gain the advantage." men the chief proceeded to give forth a series of warnings precautions that will be read with interest by the people of the city. This is the time of the year when the number of fires in crease when fires from all causes combine to overwork the fire depart ment and cause losses to the people. Here are a few precautionary meas ures that Chief Wilmarth suggested: First The burning of rubbish, dry grass, and leaves, should not be per mitted near any building, or in alleys and especially when there is any wind. When it is necessary to burn such ref use it should be done at a safe dis tance from any building, and should De attended by a caretul person, with a bucket of water at hand to prevent any possibility of the fire spreading. Above all, children should not be per mitted to build bonfires or play with matches or fire in any form. Second Cellars, closets and at tics should be kept free from the ac cumulation of combustible litter and rubbish. Third See that combustible ma terial and rubbish do not accumulate near or around the furnace in the cel lar or basement; and that the wooden joists, and all woodwork above or near the furnace and hot air pipes, are properly protected with metal, or heavy asbestos. Keep Eyes on the Stove. Fourth Floors under all ranges, stoves or other heating appliances whether gas or coal is used where the radiation of heat is too great for safety, should be protected by a zinc board, or metal. Stoves should be set at a safe distance from partition walls or woodwork, or such woodwork should be properly protected by heavy asbestos board, or metal. Fifth All gas stoves or other heat ng apparatus should be connected with a proper flue. All gas connections to gas stoves or heaters must be of iron rubber flexible tube connections are unsafe, and their use is prohibited by the ordinances of the city. Sixth Gas grates must not be set In or be surrounded by woodwork; but must be placed in brick construction, as the building laws- require. Seventh Old cMmneys should be looked to and be carefully pointed up where necessary, or otherwise repaired as the case may require. Where soft coal is used chimneys should not be allowed to become foul with soot, as fires are frequently caused by burning soot alighting upon shingle roofs. Eighth Do not light an oil stove and go away and leave it, until sure that it is burning safely. Ninth Unused stovepipe openings in chimneys should be provided with a tightly fitting flue cap. Tenth Gasoline must not be kept within any business building or dwel ling. Eleventh Gasoline tor the use or automobiles must be stored outside of the garage, in a safe metal tank or receptacle properly protected, and lo cated at a safe distance from any building. Twelfth Electric lamps should not be allowed to become in contact with woodwork, fabrics, or any inflammable material. Thirteenth By being careful to re move or remedy defects that are liable to cause fire, the premises will be made safer, and fires would be less frequent. The Causes of Fires. The larger percentage of fires that occur each year are from the following causes: First Children playing with matches. Second Bonfires and rubbish. Third Overheated furnaces, grates and stoves. Fourth Leaks in gas connections. Fifth Stoves and pipes too near un protected woodwork. Sixth Gasoline stoves defective or carelessly handled. Seventh Oil lamps and oil stoves. Eighth Clothing hung too near For Now, Famous Makes, Newest Styles Every pair of shoes in this store is absolutely new every pair bears the stamp of some famous maker. There is absolutely no accomulation of old styles or leathers weakened by age. Everything in this less-than-one-year-old store is bright, new and snappy everything carefully chosen upon the best judgment of 17 years shoe experience. And think of it!

Also Ends All 3Iisery Front the Grippe in Just a Few Hours. There is not one grain of quinine in Pape's Cold Compound, which, when taken every two hours, until three con secutive doBes are taken, will surely end the grippe and break up the most severe cold, either in the head, chest, back, stomach or limbs. It promptly relieves the most miser able neuralgia pains, headache, dull ness, head and nose stuffed up, fever ishness, sneezing, sore throat, running of the nose, catarrhal affections, sore ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges. Pape's Cold Compound is the result of three years' research at a cost of more than fifty thousand dollars, and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not effec tive in the treatment of colds or grippe. Take this harmless Compound as di rected, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine made anywhere else in the world which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without any other assistance or bad after-effects as a 25 cent pack age of Pape's Cold Compound, which any druggist in the world can supply.

Saves Health of Old People Trial Free A healthy old couple who have lived a long life together make an ideal picture. But unfortunately so many old people have a dismal life. Even if they are otherwise in good health they seem to suffer from constipation and indigestion. It is the penalty of old age. To old people, the best advice is Be careful of your food. But even that is not all. The stomach and bowel muscles are no longer as active as they used to be and on that account movement of the bowels is more difficult. To aid nature take a mild laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin when ever you find yourself becoming constipated or when you have any difficulty digesting your food. It is not strong .like salts or purgatives, but is mild, gentle and non-griping just what elderly' people need. It is the best laxative for old people, as it is for women and children. Many men and women far beyond seventy have been able to discard all raed icinesafter a brief use of Syrup Pepsin. The regular bottles can be obtained of any druggist at fifty cents or one dollar, but we suggest that you make a free trial of it first, as so many others have done. Send your address to Dr. Caldwell and he will send you a free sample bottle. Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obligation. He has specialized in stomach, liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and will be pleased to give the reader any ad vice on the subject free of charge. AH are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 541 Caldwell Build ing, Monticello, 111. If.. k 3 A 4 took for Tkli riiUra u Tlf The following are some extracts from letters Dr. Caldwell has received: "Your free sample bottle came in due time and I was so gratified with) results that I bought a larger bottle and am so in favor of its effects that I am putting others on the track to get relief. I am 79 years old and have been trou bled with a torbid liver, but feel that I now have the right remedy and will no longer have the trouble. Also acts with out inconvenience." Mrs. W. H. Carter. Maywood, 111. "I am 73 years old; have been seriously affiieted with heart trouble for over 15 years, unable to do anything dur ing that time; have spent all I had doctoring with several local doctors and many specialists, all to no purpose. My case is a very hard one and incurable; constipation of a very serious nature. I would, for years, go from three to five days without a movement; would take pills, salts, etc., until I was entirely tired of life. Have tried everything. I saw your ad; sent for free sample of Syrup Pepsin, received it and it did me so much good that I got a 50c bottle and have taken it as per directions regularly; shall get another bottle today. IT HAS DONE ME A WORLD OF GOOD. It is the nicest to take and the most effective of any rem edy I have ever used. It is simply a god-send to me." A. A. Lewis, R. 2, Box 51, Bentonville, Ark. "I received your free sample of Syrup Pepsin and have taken it and am now taking a $1.00 bottle. It is doing me a great deal of good. I have had trouble more or less with my stomach ever since I left the army, but have never taken very much medicine for it, but the sample you sent me did me so much good I thought I would give it a. trial. It is helping me and I shall continue to take it. I can recom mend it to any one having stomach trouble and heart trou ble." Geo. S. Spaulding, Nat. Soldiers' Home, Kansas. "I have tried your Syrup Pepsin and found it all that you claim. I am recommending it to the old veterans and they are buying it on my word. I shall use it as long as I live. I cannot praise it enough." Enoa Gilpin, National Soldiers' Home, Danville, 111. Spiritualism T. H. White, Spiritual Medium and Divine Healer.

All grades of re fined sugar were reduced 15 cents a hundred pounds today. Window Glass, J. K. Jones Paint Co. The Topeka high school football team is looking forward with consider able interest to the tame tomorrow afternoon with the high school team from St. Joseph, Mo. This will be the first real contest the T. H. S. boys will have had thus far and the result will go a long way toward deciding which school is to lead in the Missouri val ley championship. The game resulted last year in a score of 11 to 9 in favor of St. Joseph. This year the St. Joseph team is stronger, inasmuch as they two weeks ago were defeated by the strong Law rence team by the small margin of three points, the score being 6 to 3 in favor of Lawrence high school. Any team that makes such a showing against Lawrence is a good team, so the local boys are expecting a hard battle with the St.- Joe team which cap tured one point more than they in the last game between the two schools. The remarkable showing the Topeka high school has made this year against the college freshmen, the academy and the Emporia high school teams points toward an interesting and ex citing conflict with these warriors from Missouri. The St. Joe team can not win from the local team unless they are materially stronger than any team the Topeka team has yet faced. On the other hand if St. Joe shows a superior strength the mettle of the lo cal higb school team will be brought out as it has not yet been brought out this year. The line of play will be something interesting to see when the best is called for from the local team. The lineup of the teams is as fol lows: Topeka. Position. St. Joseph. DeArmond L. E Spencer Olander L. T Gray (capt.) Slaughter L. G Minor McFarland C. Siemens Whitcomb. Hathaway .R. G.. Chamberlain ....R. T... Martin R. E Heil, Lewis Q Billings, Trobert.L. H.... Johnson R. H VilHpigue F. The game will be called at 2 o'clock on the Washburn field. Officials: Gowans, referee, Holton, Kan.; Cassidy. umpire, St. Joe; Mont gomery, neld Judge, Topeka; Livers, St. Joe, head linesman. HE'S A LIVE WIRE. .Barder .Cargill .Boyer Priestley .Hoover May Dorsey Captain Jack Crawford Star Enter tainer at Soldiers' Banquet. It was Colonel Jack Crawford, the scout, who was the live wire of the Fifth Kansas cavalry banquet at the Commercial club rooms Thursday night. It was Colonel Jack who made the gray haired boys of the fighting Kansas regiment laugh or cry as his whims best suited. Crawford was introduced to the ban queters by Major T. J. Anderson of Topeka. "I was only sixteen when I Joined the scouts," said Crawford. "At that time I could neither read nor write. I made my mark in signing my name. One day I was wounded In the hip In a bloodv battle and as I lay there in the hospital suffering all the agony a man ever knew, a black robed sister came to me. She prayed and waited with all the faith of a martyr until I recovered. It was she who taught me my first lessons in spelling. I never knew a school education and nave never learned the multiplication table." Then the colonel told the old sol diers of his career on the lecture plat form. "In a little southern town one night Andrew Carnegie introduced me to a big audience and then sat for nearly two hours and listened to mv lecture. The next morning he handed me a check for $500. I was awfully sorry he had not added a couple of ciphers to the check, but I accepted it never theless. That afternoon I played golf on Carnegie's links. It was my sixth game and I beat him five up. Andy hasn't spoken to me since." Crawford sang his original version of "Marching Through Georgia." It was new to most of the people in the room and when the Modocs sang the chorus, the old soldiers insisted on helping. The song seemed to instal a new enthusiasm in the Kansas cavalry men and when Crawford recited his poem, "Why We Wear th Badge," there were tears in the eyes of the men who responded to the call of '61. Ex-Governor S. J. Grawford recited reminiscences of the work of the Kan sas troops. He told of the Fifth and Its officers and soldiers and related in cidents of the battle of Willow Creek in which his own regiment, the Nine teenth Kansas, participated. "It was the bloodiest battle of the war," declared Mr. Crawford, "and a larger per cent of men were killed in the Willow Creek fight than in any other engagement. Major Scudder or Topeka wast toast master. About fifty people were seat ed at the banquet tables in the Com mercial club rooms. The Modoc club furnished music and were decidedly popular with the veterans. SHAME ON YOU, COLE! Nebraska Coach Violated Rules by Pyug on lv. u. Lawrence, Kan.. Oct. 2S. When "King" Cole, coach of the Cornhuskers sent his assistant, Harry Ewing, to Des Moines, he broke one of the most im portant rulings of the Missouri valley conference the one prohibiting scout ing." The clause inserted at the last meeting of the schools of the confer ence last spring, which placed the ban on the old practice of one school syping on the other, was supposed to consti tute one of the prime "reforms" of the gridiron frolic in the Missouri vallev The fact that Nebraska has seen fit to disregard the provision bodes no srood to Kennedy, Mosse Co.. for Kansas has lived up to the letter of the law and thus will be handicapped when the Jayhawkers and "King" Cole's hope fuls meet on McCoolt field a week from next Saturday. "We never thought they would do it," was Kennedy's comment on the scout ing report of Ewing of Nebraska. "It certainly places Mosse and myself in a predicament, for neither of us has seen Nebraska In action this year. No doubt this man Ewing gleaned a lot of knowl edge of our style of play. I know one of our men would learn something if he had the chance to see the Nebraskans in battle, and that is why we will be placed at a disadvantage when the two teams meet. Kennedy's recourse has been to in stall the secret practice, and the Jay hawkers are now working behind closed gates. A close watch is being kept for possible scouts, and any Ne braskan who would venture to get a line on the Kansas-Washburn contest would be taking long chances, indeed. The coaches are not so fearful of the ability of their squad to take Wash burn's scalp, but the gloom commences to gather whenever the Cornhusker clash is mentioned. There is no at tempt made to deny the fact that it was only after the hardest kind of a struggle that Drake was vanquished. Ewing of Nebraska guessed right when he gave it as his opinion that K. TJ. was forced to the limit in order to win. Kennedy, however, is not con ceding Cole the annual battle, for he believes Kansas has a chance. "We're going in to give them the best we have, and I think the game will be interesting all right," said the head coach. "We may lose, but we'll be fighting to the last ditch." Johnson, the man who contributed most to Nebraska's downfall the last two years, is not playing the same game he has the last two seasons. He shows flashes of his old form at times, but his work thus far has been incon sistent. Lynch has the mumps and has gone to his home. In all likelihood he will be kept out of the game. His loss is a most severe one as he is the brains of the whole squad and is In valuable to Kennedy because of his ability to solve an opponent's plays. FROM TEXAS TO GEORGIA The little town of Richland is aquiver today with the excitement of a man hunt prosecuted by the Shawnee county sheriff's force. Tom Hale, the big six foot Tennessee negro, who almost shot a leg off of George DeMoss in a crap game Sunday afternoon at the state fair grounds, is supposed to be in the neighborhood. With him is a short stout colored man who is shielding the big fellow and rustling provisions. Both are heavily armed and are deemed dangerous. Ben Judkins and Otto Anderson, dep uty sheriffs, spent last night in Rich land sitting the night through in the. station pumping plant, which point they were sure the negro would pass. Deputy Henry Bayliss watched late intc the night at Wakarusa searching every train. First word of the location of the dangerous negro, who had avowed he would have to shoot up a half dozen of these Kansas negroes to show them what high life was. was obtained from the Bush farm southeast of Topeka yesterday. Mr. Bush telephoned that a big black man had stopped at his farm tired and hungry. They were making sorghum molasses at the farm and negro waited for nothing more but plunged his hand into the syrup, eat ing from his palm. Driven from that he scooped up a quantity of the skim mings and made off across field. Suspecting that the man was mak ing for the railroad at Richland, the two deputies left for that town yes terday, searching the territory sur rounding the place. Meanwhile the small towns surrounding Topeka were telephoned to be on the lookout. Jud kins and Anderson learned from farm ers that a strange negro had been seen following down the creeks and across the fields. At Richland they decided that the fugitive would have to enter the town between two streams, the wakarusa and a little feeder, and come by way of a bridge leading to a point near the pumping plant of the Missouri Pacific. They stationed themselves there and waited through the night without see ing anyone. This mornlne the two disappointed officers started on their return. While they were on the way, the telephone at the sheriff's office rang a score of Hmna with moacnirpa from Constable! McLain and others at Richland. The short colored man had passed the wa ter tank and shot a dog. At the village he went into the hardware store to buy .44 caliber cartridges. The village was really excited but the officers were on their way back and Constable Mc Lain later telephoned that he did not know he had a right to detain a little fellow when Shawnee wanted a big one. Judkins answered him, telling him to go out and try get his man and hold him for investigation. The officers are waiting now for more information and are planning to make another trip at any moment.

EVENING CHAT BY RUTH CAMERON. "I have had everything that life has to offer. "By every rule and standard of the world I should have been happy. "But the only happiness I have known has been in anticipation in anticipation of the things that I ex pected to bring happiness and that did not." Such is the recently published state ment of a young woman in the prime of life and health, called by many crit ics "the most beautiful woman in the world," possessed of a magnificent tal ent, and plentifully supplied with all the good things that come out of the fleshpots of Egypt. In other words, the grand opera singer, Lina Cavalieri. There are just forty-eight words in that statement, and yet it appeals to me as one of the greatest and most thought-provoking essavs on the na ture of happiness that has been pub lished for many years. It seems to me that if any discon tented person who reads this, pro vided his discontent comes from dis satisfaction with his equipment, his possession or his opportunities, and is not the divine discontent of aspira tion, would cut out that confession of Cavalieri's and paste it where he can see it daily, that might help some. The preachment, that happiness is more a state of mind than a matter of possession or position, is so famil iar as to be almost a bromide. And as an abstraction I suppose most of us accept it. But when it comes to the concrete, I don't imagine there are many of us who don't look longlingly at those who have wealth or beauty or talent, or whatever is to us the moat desir able thing, and sigh out, "How happy they must be." All this doesn't mean, of course, that wealth and talent, beauty and the fleshpots aren't things to be desired. Nor that they are incompatible with happiness. But just that they aren't sure to bring happiness. Just that it is possible for one who has none of them to break bread daily with that much wooed but very shy lady Happiness and for one who has them all, to pass his life in the court ing of her and never catch a glimpse of anything but her pale ghost An ticipation. I'm sorry for Cavalieri. I'm sorry that, with no apparent external bar rier between her and happiness, there seems to have been something within herself that makes it impossible for her to find it. But she surely has not suffered in vain, if, through her confession, those of us who are apt to fancy that if we had this or that or the other thing we would be "perfectly happy," may real ize anew and with a twentieth cen tury application, the old truth that "A MAN'S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH."
