CONGRESS FLEETS Opening of the Short Session Brings Big Crowd. Many Changes in Membership Have Taken Place. DEATH HAS BEEN BUSY The Senate Has Lost Four and the House Three. Political Preferment Respon sible for Other New Faces. "Washington, Dec. 5. Both houses of congress convened today for the third and last session of the Sixty-first con gress. The galleries were crowded and there was a good attendance of sena- NATIONAL FIGURES IN THE tors and representatives. In a number of new faces were Senator Tillman, who has t from his seat for some tn his place. He showed the his long illness and entered ber supporting himself by a stout cane. Senator Scott, just convalescing from an illness that confined him to his bed for several days, also was in his place. Speaker Cannon received a remark able ovation when he took up the gavel to announce the opening of the session in the house. The applause lasted sev eral minutes and the Democrats Joined w ith the Republicans in acclaiming the veteran legislator. Representative Champ Clark also was given a similar ovation when he entered on the con clusion of the prayer, the Democrats hailing him as the speaker of the next house. Both houses adjourned almost immediately after the formal assem bling, calls of the rolls and the adop tion of resolutions on the passing of those members who have died since the adjournment of the last session. Many of those who are numbered jear after year in the opening session gathering, like theater "first nighters," were there as critics. They recognized the faces of most of the prominent members of both branches of congress and parading the corridors, they pointed out among the celebrities such members as were bitten by the hoar frost and bleak winds of November 8. The running comment that could be heard by mingling with the throng was often ludicrous and reasons were as signed for the defeat of this or that member that had never occurred to the political experts who searched for logical explanations. The fixed tconvening hour was 12 o'clock but long before that time sena tors and representatives had reached their office rooms in the second splen did buildings near the north and south ends of the capitol building proper, while crowds of spectators, who al ways hold a reconvening of congress dear to their hearts, were on hand rarly in the morning, waiting for van tage points in the galleries. Early work on appropriation bills has cleared the way for prompt con sideration of those measures on -the floor of the two houses. The bills ap propriating many minions oi uiram for the Indian service, for the legisla- executive ana juaiciai uepari rnents of the government ueunauj ouu for the district of Columbia, whose ex penses are borne jointly by the federal and municipal governments, are well advanced and one or more of them ma" be reported to the house this week. The avowed intention is to hur ry these bills along as fast as possible to avoid any hitch in providing for the expenditures of the government and sternuous efforts have been made by President Taft and other administra tion' leaders to keep the budget down to the lowest possible point. Only a Brief Session. It was understood early today that today's session of both the senate and house would be brief. Almost invar iably the first day's business has been perfunctory. Today was to be no ex ception, for all that was expected was that the two houses would be called to order, invocations delivered by the chaplains, resolutions adopted by each house notifying the other of its con vening, appointments of the Joint com mittee to notify the president that the 61st congress was ready to resume business in its final session and ad journment as a tribute to members of the two houses who have died during tha recess. The president's annual message to congress and the first batch of presi dential nominations were expected to be withheld until tomorrow. There are vacant seats caused by deaths in both the senate and house chambers. Just as the last session ad journed on June 25, Vice President Sherman took occasion to congratulate the senate on its immunity from death. 'DeattfT' he said, in an impressive moment, while he held his gavel to declare that body adjourned, '"has not entered this chamber during the pres- at session. Please God that when the senate assembles again next December, we shall all be here." Senators McEnery of Louisiana. Dol liver of Iowa, Daniel of Virginia and Clay of Georgia, all prominent figures in the upper house, have since died. On the house side. Representatives Tirrell of Massachusetts, Gilmore of Louisiana and Foulkrod of Pennsyl-. vania are dead. Successors of most of the late mem bers of the two branches already have been chosen and may take their seats tomorrow. Several vacancies also will be re corded in the present house by reason of political preferment, Mr. Foss of Massachusetts, retiring to become gov ernor of Massachusetts and Mr. Ten er. and Mr. Reynolds both of Penn sylvania, retiring to become governor and lieutenant governor, respectively of that commonwealth.

Baldwin, whose controversy with Col. Roosevelt in the recent election attract ed much notice, has been invited to at tend the dinner and speak, he has not yet accepted and refuses to make known his intentions. The time set for acceptance expired Saturday night and the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce said he had not heard from Judge Baldwin, but added the expiration of the time limit would not be operative in this case. The mem bers of the board, it is understood, are working for an understanding whereby Judge Baldwin and Colonel Roosevelt may attend. Among the speakers will be President Hadley, of Tale university.

Court Rules Out Her Statement Made After Her Arrest. Cambridge, Dec. 5. The second week of the trial of Hattie Le Blanc for the murder of Clarence F. Glover started today with another victory for the defense m the exclusion of the girl's statement made after her arrest. Judge Bond said he did not think the girl knew the exact import of the q-stions asked her in English. Samuel D. Elmore then resumed his testimony and was asked why he wanted $4,153 from the widow the day after the murder. He said it was for expenses. When pressedy for a more specific answer hereplied: "To meet a plot partially formu lated." Atorney Johnson for the defense sprang to his feet and demanded that the remark be ruled out. Judge Bond agreed. Mr. Elmore then said he wanted the money to meet a situation brought i about h the brothers of Mr. Giover. who subsequently sued the widow. SAYS DOJT NOW. Murdock Wants Wool Schedule Revised at Once. Many Insurgent Callers at the White House. BRISTOW IS FOR HOOK. The Junior Kansas Senator Urges the Chief Executive To Appoint Leavenworth Man to the Supreme Bench. Washington, Dec. 5. The "White House was the mecca of the many in Rent Republicans today. Some said they were invited by the president. Senator Bristow of Kansas was among the first callers. He was quickly fol lowed by Representatives Norris of Ne braska, Murdock and Madison of Kan sas and Hayes of California. The "in surgents" said they talked with the president about features of his message which will be read to congress tomor row and also about the vacancies on the supreme court bench. Althougn they admit that the efforts at concilia tion are in the air, the "insurgents" continue to sing a militant song. Rep resentative Murdock declared he had traveled all over the country during the last three months and that he knew the temper of the people. "They want the woolen schedule re vised at this session of congress re gardless of whether the tariff board is ready to report," he said. "Everybody is talking wool and the revision of the tariff one schedule at a time. They are willing to wait for the tariff board on ail of the tariff schedules except wool. And when the schedule is revised the people want wooTen cloth tagged to show the amount of wool and the amount of cotton used In it. "The people want congress to do something and quit talking so much. They say we can pass the appropriation bills by holding night sessions and that we should devote the days to revising the wool schedule. The political un rest of the people is not partisan and any man In public life who thinks it Is will find himself sadly mistaken. The people also have their eyes on the higher courts and they don't want de cisions rendered merely on technicali ties." Senator Bristow urged the president to appoint Judge Hook, of the Eighth United States circuit to the supreme court. Senator Bristow said he agreed with many of the president's recommenda tions in his message but disagreed with others. He will oppose a ship subsidy bill, will earnestly advocate the forti fication of the Panama canal. The sen ator also will fight for a permanent tariff commission. OVER NORTH SEA. Balloon Ascends at Munich and Lands in Scotland. One of the Occupants Is Drown ed During the Passage. London, Dec. 5. A balloon owned by the International Ballooning club of Munich which rose from that city on Saturday and moved first in the direc tion of Switzerland, landed today near Kirkwall In the county of Orkney, Scotland, after a wild flight across the North sea, during which one of the three aeronauts' Herr Metzger, lost his life. After sailing to the southwest for a little the airship took a northerly course and was driven toward tho British Isles by a furious gale. Sun day morning the balloon struck the sea and a huge wave swept over the basket and Metzger was carried away and drowned. His companions dug to their craft which, further lightened, ascend ed again and drifted over the Orkney islands, where a successful descent was made. The surviving aeronauts, DIsler and Joerden, were unharmed. AREPROUO OF TAFT. Colonel Mosby. Says the- Southerners Admire the President, New Haven. Conn.. Dec. 5. Colonel John Singleton Mosby, the guerilla leader, whose activities in northern Virginia were a factor in delaying the final result of thedviJ war win cele brate his 77th birthday here tomorrow, He came all the way from his Virginia home to eat his birthday dinner with friends in New Haven..; The southern students at Yale will give him a re ception at the University club, this eveniner and tomorrow night after the birthday dinner, there will be a public reception and the colonel will talk about what the cavalrymen did in Vir ginia in '63. Commander. Edwin S. Greely, ranking officer in Connecticut, and Dean Henry Wade Rogers of Yale, will be in charge of the ceremofcies. It will be the firsts lecture on the war that he has delivered in 25 years. Colonel Mosby is very proud of his record as a Republican. He has voted for every Republican presidential can didate since Lincoln. "Moreover," he adds, "I have known er-iionally every resident since Tyler and President Taft is the most oopular of them all I have never known another president wno was suujwl w ir.no 1 i.; "Just look at the reception the peo people at Richmond gave Taft when he visited them. No other Republican president ever got such a fine send off in the south. The people below Mason and Dixon's line are very proud of him. Of course that may not mean that" they will vote for him-in 1912. You never can tell how a southerner will vote by the way he talks. The south has never got over Its dislike for Republicanism. It votes for Democ racy by. force of habit but generally prays for a Republican president. "The south is growing wonderfully. In my estimation it is the most, pros perous part of the United States. Ten years ago I prophesied that within the next two decades the south would wit ness progress more rapid than any oth er part of the country. I said then that there was more opportunity down there than in the west. What I said has come true." TO TELL OF LYNCHING. Ohio Anti-Saloon Speaker Will Talk Regarding Etherington.

He will also include a perspective view of current political events. v Colonel Ullman said today that at the time Colonel .Roosevelt accepted the invitation, the selection of a sub ject was left with the guest.

E. Baldwin, the Democratic governor-elect of Connecticut, said he had nothing to give out in response to a query as to whether he had accepted an invitation to attend the dinner and to make an address.

EDDY IS DEAD Founder of the Christian Science Church Passes Away At Her Home, in the Ninetieth Year of Her Age. DEATH CERTIFICATE Says Her Demise Was Due to -Natural Causes. She Had Been Indisposed About a Week. Boston, Dec 5. Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, is dead. Announcement of the passing of the venerable leader, which occurred late Saturday night at her home at Chest- nut Hill, was made at the morning service of the mother church in this city. "Natural causes," explained tha death, according to Dr. George L. West, a district medical examiner, who was summoned a few hours after Mrs. Eddy passed away. Later Dr. -West added that the more immediate cause- probably was pneumonia. The news, of Mrs. Ed-dy s death was made known simultaneously by Judge Clifford P. Smith, first reader of tho mother church, at the close of tho Sunday morning service, and by Alfred Farlow of the Christian Science pub lication committee, in a statement to the press. According to Mr. Farlow, Mrs. Eddy. passed away at a quarter before 1 1 o'clock Saturday night. She had been indisposed for about nine days," said Mr. Farlow's state ment, "but had been up and dressed. and as late as Thursday transacted! some business with one of the officials of the church. She took her daily aft ernoon drive until two days before her death. Saturday night she fell quietly asleep and those around her could at first hardly realize that she had gone. Her thought was clear until the last and she left no final messages. No physician was in attendance but she had the assistance of the stu dents who comprised her household. With her at the time of her departure! were Calvin A. FTye, Mrs. Laura E.' Sargent, Mrs. Ella S. Rathvon, tha Rev. Irving C. Tomlinson, her corre sponding secretary. William R. Rath von, and her secretary, Adam H. Dickey. There having been no physician in attendance, Dr. George L. West of Newton Center, medical examiner for the district, was called early Sunday morning, jjr. west, alter investigation, pronounced the death due to 'natural causes,' and issued the customary cer tificate. 'A telegram was sent to her son. Geoio'e W. Glover of Lead, S. D.. ao- prising him of his mother's demise, and requesting information as to his attendance 'and that of his family. "Mrs. Eddy was born In Bow, N. H.. July 16, 1821, and was therefore in her ninetieth year." Announced in Church. Few of the congregation at tha morning service of the mot'jer church, knew of Mrs. Eddy's death. The serv ice was as usual and the two readers. Judge Smith and Mrs. Leland T. Pow ers, presented the sermon of the day. ine routine service, which closes with a hymn, the reading: of the "scientific statement of being." and tha benediction was strictly followed. But Just before the benediction Judgo Smith changed the, usual form, by say ing: "I shall now read part of a letter, written by our revered leader, and reprinted on page 135 of 'miscellaneous writings.' 'My beloved students: You may ba looking to see me in my accustomed place with you, but this you must no longer expect. When I retired from the field of labor it was a departure, so cially, publicly and finally, from the routine and from such material modes as society and our eocieties demand. Rumors are rumors nothing more. I am still with you on the field of battle, taking forward marches, broader and higher views, and with the hope that you will follow. 'AH our thoughts should be given to the absolute demonstration of Chris tian Science. Tou can well afford to give me uft since you have in my last revised edition of science and health, your teacher and guide.' "Although these lines," said Judga Smith, "were written years ago, they are true today and will continue to bo true. But it becomes my duty to an nounce that Mrs. Eddy passed from our sight last night at a quarter before It o'clock, at her home on Chestnut HilU" Only those who sat through the ser vice with the knowledge of the mo mentous event of. the few hours before heard the benediction.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5,1910. RA1LR0A0 NEWS. More Talk of Pennsylvania Santa Fe Combine. Coast-to-Coast Line Is the lie Tired Talk.- OITICIAXS WERE HERE But They Eef used to Discuss the Matter. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Denver. Deo. 6. Officials and di rectors of the Atchison, Topeka Banta Fe and the Pennsylvania rail road systems have been making a tour of the Banta Fa lines, with result that a report has been revived to the effect that the two big systems are prepar ing to establish closer relations and form a new system extending from coast to coast. The party consists of T. Do Will Cuy ler of Philadelphia, a director in both roads; EMw&rd EL Stubesbury and Messrs. Keath and Deming of Philadel phia, J. W. Kendrick of Chicago, vioe president of the Santa Fe, in charge of operations; F. C. Fox, general man ager; W. F. Felt, chief engineer, ani C. W. Kouna, general manager of the western lines of the Santa Fe system. "Last spring Mr. Cuyler went over the southern lines of our road and over the Belen cutoff in New Mexico," said Vice President Kendrick, in Denver. "A few weeks ago I suggested that he see the other portions of the system and he accepted. We are now making that trip." Mr. Kendrick was asked If it was not rumored at the time Mr. Cuyler made the inspection in the spring that the Santa Fe and Pennsylvania were pre paring to establish closer relations with each other. "Yes," was the reply. "That rumor has come up several times within the past three years. There is not the elightest degree of confirmation to tha report, however. In the present trip. fWe think the Pennsylvania Is better off to confine its efforts to the territory between Chicago and New York, whi'.e the Banta Fe will do well to confine Itself to the territory west of Chicago. The relations of the two systems are friendly, however, as shown by the presence of a Pennsylvania director on our road." "What are your plans for Improve ments In the coming year?" he was asked. "The only plans we have are to Im prove the common sense of the Ameri can people in reference to railroad matters," was the reply. "We want to get the railroads out of petty politics, and If we succeed it will be an im provement which will make us happy. A butcher doesn't expect his cus tomers to buy meat when he hasn't sufficient Income to pay his bill, and it Is the same way with railroads. We are all trying to live within our in comes. Until we Increase our reve nues we can't Increase our ex penditures." TRUNK liCSE FOR WALSH TtOADS Flans for New Construction Into Indianapolis. Chicago, Dec. 6. Myron J. Carpen ter, former president of the Chicago Eastern Illinois railroad, and now receiver for the John R. Walsh roads, will be elected president of the Chi cago, Terre Haute St Southwestern railway, according to an announce ment made by its reorganization com mittee.

Plans already, have been made for the construction of the new road into Indianapolis and It is said further ex tension will be made to Cincinnati. Chicago will be the northern terminus, according to present plana HOMESEEKERS RATES ADJUSTED Passenger Officials of Western Roads Have Hopes. Chicago, TO., Dec. 6. Passenger twf.fflo officials of western roads say that by the opening of the new year difficulties in the matter of home eekisrs rates for the coming season may be Ironed out and a general re adjustment effected which will bring this ystem of reduced rates In line with existing conditions As there has been great difference of opinion in this matter, and the defection of one road would make settlement impossible, however, nothing can be considered as certain until it la accomplished. A report that the new arrangement sought would be a general increase In homeaekers rates, railroad men pro nounce Incorrect. As some rates would be reduced, some advanced, and others would be unaffected, the changes are to be considered merely a readjust ment to remove inequalities rising out of changes in various maximum rates. BIO ROADS IX RATE WITAXGLp. Rates Between New York and Chi cajjo Are the Cause -New York, December 5. The stand ard passenger rate between New York and Chicago is J 20. That is the fare on the New York Central and Penn sylvania roads. The Erie, the Wabash and the Grand Trunk have been charg ing J 18. The Michigan Central, a Vanderbilt road, has been charging 19. and the Panhandle of the Penn sylvania has been charging $18. Re cently the Michigan Central bored a tunnel under the river in Petroit,and tha Panhandle came into New York City .via the Pennsylvania tubes,, but each road, in the face of these, ad vantages, maintained the $18 rate. The Erie, the Wabash and the Grand Trunk objected and as van nounced yesterday said they would cut the New York-Chicago rate to $8 first class and J 6 second class unless the Michigan Central and the Panhandle raised their rates to $20. At the meet ing held here the matter was speed ily settled by the Michigan Central and the Panhandle agreeing to bring their rates -up to the standard on January 15.

Calumet does not cost as much as the high price baking powder, but it ia verv mA penor in every way it is purermore reliable more healthful. Here are the reasons: All taking powders undergo a chemical change in the process of baking. You do not take it into the stomach m the same form as it is in the can. For example: When you use Cream of Tartar Baking Powder you get Rochelle Salts in your food, because the Cream If Tartar during this reaction turns into Rochelle Salts. This, as you know, is a drug, and should ba taken only under doctor's orders. Calumet is so carefully and scientifically prepared that the neutralization of the ineredientQ is absolutely perfect. s Ul3 That it is absolutely pure and of highest quality is proven by the fact that LIBERAL ARTS DEFEAT PROFESH Burkhart ana Hardy at Halves Turn the Tide of Battle. By coming back strong in the sec ond half of the game the liberal arts football team won from the profes sional colleges on Washburn field Sat urday. Varsity stars figured in the lineup and Jerry Johnstone of the law college captained the professionals while Burkhart ran the academics. In the first half the laws and medics went through the arts with ease and piled up a score of 15. Then the arts took a turn and edged out a victory of 17 to 15. McCarrolI playing quar ter for the mixed team scored a drop kick goal two minutes after the kick off and that followed by touchdowns by Whitney and Rankin was the total for the profesh. In the last half Burkhart went over three times after long end runs by Quarterback Smiley, next seasons var- sity possibility, and by Hardy, the slashing halfback of the 1910 varsity. Aside from the interest in the game as a post season event, a number of promising players were seen to be I tried out next fall. Coach Bob Stewart umpired the contest.

It is more commonly manifested in the head, nose and throat, because of the sensi tive nature of these membranes, ana also because they are more easily reached by irritating influences from the outside. The symptoms of Ca tarrh, surh as a tight feeling in the head, nose stopped up, throat clogged and dry, hacking cough, etc., show that the tiny blood vessels of the mu cous membranes are badly congested and inflamed from the impurities in the circulation. To cure Catarrh per manently the blood must be purified and the system cleansed of all un healthy matter. Nothing equals 6. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks Ul( disease m tui head, goes down to the bottom of the trouble and makes a complete and lasting cure by PURIFYING the blood.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ajanlzatlon for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour Hal buildlns over wires for this sola pur pose. What have the antl-football agita tors to say to the news that cornea from Worcester, Mass., to the effect that a young man dropped dead while dancing? Any saving that may be made by a poor, old consumer through the reduc tion in the price of meat will be more thin dissipated if he indulges in t'na luxury of an egg a week. And some people call the hen a "helpful" bird. Press dispatches are not always pre cise. One of them, which tells that the Inmates of an insane asylum in Louis iana are going to get out a newspaper, characterizes the publication of a news paper by lunatics as being "a novelty." Selecting an All-American football team Is the order of the day. And if you want a team of this sort that will satisfy your own opinions, you must select it yourself. All of the experts tn the premises are in disagreement on the proposition, as usual. Enthusiasts of the anti-tobacco us ing variety will likely hold a conven tion soon and decide to give up the prosecution of the cause that is so dear to their hearts. That model of man hood, Frank Gotch, the wrestler, has taken up with both chewing and smok ing. Arizona's constitution is going to pro vide that none but citizens of the state and Indians may work on the public J contracts in tne new commonwealth. This will mean that the citizens will have to do all this work. For whoever heard of an Indian showing any predi lection for labor? Colonel Alexander S. Bacon shocked the dignity of the supreme court of the United States the other day by declar ing that army officers must be lickspit tles to hold their Jobs. Colonel Bacon will be remembered aa the gentleman who had the temerity to make light of the activities of Colonel Roosevelt in the battle of San Juan Hill. Chances are good that there will not be much of an emigration rush to Ar gentina on the part of the people of the United States. Those who know Bay that It costs Just twice as much to live In the cities there as it does to live in the cities here. This also ought to make the back to the farm move ment In Argentina intensely popular. Lord Rosebery, one of England's prominent statesmen, must be misin formed. He says that the United States is the greatest democracy of the world. -An opinion shouted from many of the house-tops at home here Is to the effect that the United States Is akin to an oligarchy with the- pow er of government In the hands of a few financiers in Wall street. But, as a matter of fact, this is pure, unadul terated bunc. Thus does the great universal peace movement march on its way. A nine days' debate in the Canadian parlia ment against the plan of that govern ment to establish a navy of its own availed nothing. So Canada will now proceed to build a few engines of war. It's a good thing that nature provid ed commodious oceans. Else there soon wouldn't be enough room In them for the vessels of war to turn around with out getting in each other's way. Not many people had the slightest Idea that there was such an individual In the world as Professor Leslie J. Tompkins of New York university un til he got into the limelight with his announcement that women educated in colleges are failures and freaks. Nor Is it likely that he will be heard of again unless he can think up some other silly idea. This is doubtful. The caliber of the first gives all the indi cation needed of the weakness of the Intellect that propounded It. Tariff reform looms large as a politi cal Issue in England ..these days Just as it does in the United States. But the tariff reform being urged in England concerns the installation of higher and protective duties, while the tariff re form urged here is for lower duties. In other words, no people seem to be sat isfied with the existing tariff conditions under which they live, nor is It likely that they ever will be, regardless of whatever changes may be made in the various tariff systems. A tariff that is acceptable to one crowd and one set of Interests will be objectionable to others. It will be noticed that the Concordia banker who la of the opinion that farmers have Invested unwisely and that the purchase of automobiles by them verges on extravagance, has an automobile of his own In which he re cently made a 6,000 mile Journey. Pre sumably, also, this banker is able to afford an automobile out of the profits he has made in handling the money of the farmers which has been deposit ed in his bank. Wouldn't it be the pro per caper for this banker and others to set economical examples? HAS CONGRESS NO ORATORS? If not wholly lost, the art of oratory is rapidly falling Into disuse, particu larly in congress, writes Champ Clark In the December Century in an inter esting article entitled "Is Congressional Oratory a Lost Art." William Bourke Cockran, of New York, was the last great orator to grace the house of representatives. Cockran is the highest type of Irishmen, and was educated thoroughly in Prance. He is a rrofound student, a man of large erudition, with an emotional temperament and a thorough mastery not only of English, but of French, Latin and Greek. He has a superb voice, a vivid imagination and a com manding presence. His sentences are poiished as thoroughly as those of Ed ward Everett or John James Ingalls. The greatest achievement of an orator is to force applause from a hostile audience. Time and time again I have seen men who dissented toto caelo from what he was saying applaud Cockran until their hands were blister ed. He won them, temporarily at least, by his magnificent oratory, his won derful sentences and his personal mag netism. Men listened to him with delirious delight. The day he left the house he was more popular there than he had ever been, and men of all shades of political opinion sincerely re gretted his departure. I do not mean that there are not still great speakers and great debaters in both houses of congress for there are plenty of them. But there is a vast difference between an orator and a dbater. A man may be both, but he is lucky if he is either. There are c. few orators left in the country outside of congress. Undoubtedly the greatest of these one of the greatest that ever lived is William Jennings Bryan. Oth er men have made speeches as great as his, but the oratorical power of no other has been put to so severe a test. Since the fourth of March, 1895, when he left congress, excepting his six minths In the army service, he has spoken constantly and in every quarter of the globe. Every im portant speech has been sent broad cast by the news associations, and one might naturally conclude that he would have worn out his welcome as a public speaker long ago. Not so, however, for today he can draw a bigger audience than any other man in America except President Taft, dho draws by reason of his position, with Col. Roosevelt, who draws by hte wonderful and unique personality.. There are plenty of men in the United States who could deliver old time orations, but they have concluded that in this age of highest intelligence that the plainer, style of speaking is the better. The principal causes of the decadence of oratory are telegraph, the printing press, the telephone, the steam engines and the electric car. MR. FXXCHOT GOES IT ALONE. The blow has falfen. Gifford Plnchot has broken with his next friend of other days, Theodore Roosevelt. He is In a huff at the present recluse of Oyster Bay because the latter gave a considerable measure of endorsement to President Taft during the recent campaign in the eastern section of the country, and because he also failed to condemn In unmeasured terms the tariff law. This has been too much for the gifted Mr. Plnchot. To the scrap pile he consigns the friendly relation ships and good will which have existed In times past between himself and the quondam faunal naturalist and erst while militant politician. They were comrades once. Now they are as strangers. Ain't It awful Mabel? If this blow were a serious one to the colonel, It would be easy to Imagine him seeking out some one of the secret fastnesses of Sagamore Hill and ex claiming in tones of anguish "Et tu. Brute." But news that Pinchot has deserted him will likely fall off the colonel's rugged shoulders as does wa ter from a duck's back. The colonel can get along very nicely, no doubt, without the comfort and the advice -'if Mr. Plnchot. It remains to be seen how well the latter can travel on his own feet. It would appear safe to predict that his journey will not be extensive. Pinchot lived quite a number of years in man's estate without attracting the attention of the multitudes or any small portion of them. Nothing much was heard of him until he was picked up by the colonel and given a place in the "Tennis Cabinet" because of his congenial ways and his ability to knock warmly served tennis balls into the net or out of bounds and thereby in crease the score of his opponent. Sud denly it developed that he knew more about forestry and the conservation of the natural resources of the United States than all the rest of the people of the country put' together. This proved to be the beginning of his un doing. He got to know so much about these things that nothing must be don with them except in his way. When an effort was made to hold him In check, he thought It necessary to insult the president of the United States. That ended his career as a public ser vant. But he has managed to keep in the limelight quite a bit since, chiefly through his exposition of the colonel's "new nationalism." Now that he has called all bets off with the colonel, it would not be surprising to hear him insist that this "new nationalism" ts all his own. It wasn't so long ago that he made a speech in which he said "I believe" this and "I believe" that, and ail the things he gave as his beliefs were, the theories that had been pre viously given voice to by Colonel Roosevelt In his speech at Osawatomle and other speeches in like vein. But Gifford Pinchot is to go it alone now. It will be Interesting to see how far he gets. JOVRNAL ENTRIES Being a "sport" is not accomplish ing very much. The best way to do a thing Is usually not the easiest. And among the optimists are those who will order eggs at a hotel or res taurant. The lessons of life, which come after those of the school room, are the hard er to learn. Future possibilities are probably so attractive to contemplate because they don't cost anything. J A YHA WKER JOTS Something new in the way of a deli cacy at Kinsley pumpkin pie a la mode.

A' nice old gentleman had trouble wiht his clock all last week, relates the Pratt Union. It refused to run and he kept working with it every time he went home.

A righteous wail which Editor Kelley printed in last week's issue of his Toronto -Republican: Last year the editor bought a goose a week before Christmas, expecting to have it for Christmas dinner. He turned it loose in the barnyard and Inside of three days it developed such an affection for its master that it was saved for New Year's day. By that time it would run out to meet him as he came home in the evening, squawkin- with Joy. (The goose did the squawking, not the editor.) The family held an executive Bession and decided not to execute tho goose. It would be too much like end ing the life of a member of the family. It still lives and will follow at the editor's heel like an affectionate dog and will help drive the chickens into the poultry yard. Monday he bought a goose and a gander for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They have not yet been taken home but when they are, it is dollars to doughnuts that the hausfrau will Insist on saving the bunch for feathers. Later. There will be no goose for Thankgiving.

There is no reason why the expert accountant shouldn't figure in society. The girl who paints perhaps flatters herself that she looks as pretty as a picture. The most enjoyable part of the av erage sermon is the conclusion reached by the preacher. No, Maude dear, we have never heard that see saw was a game in vented by a ship's carpenter. Some people are so constituted that they prefer to believe what they hear rather than what they see. When a man realizes that he has reached the turning of his life it doesn't necessarily Imply that he is a crank. Wigg "I wonder why BJones is so unsuccessful. He always see's an op portunity." Wagg "Yes. but he waits for some other fellow to seize it." He "So you believe there are times when a woman is Justified in propos ing?" She "Yes, but not till she has every reason to believe a man won't." Blobbs "I admit that she is beauti ful, but is she clever?" Slobbs "Well she's clever enough to know that she's so pretty she doesn't have to be clever." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. IFrom the Chicago News. It's always the bottom dollar that counts. A man who gets a black eye generally earns it. Poverty may blunt the senses, but It sharpens the appetite. How a man does admire people whi let out a laugh at his Jokes! It is difficult for a man to support a sealskin wife on a sheepskin salary. All you have to do in order to live to a ripe old age is to keep right on living. What would a man's wife think if she was able to hear the still, small voice of his conscience? Butting In has its bad features, but some people's friends ought to butt in oftener than they do. Paying attention to a girl, young man, is. apt to result In your having a lot of other things to pay. The world soon loses interest in a man who spends half his time in mak ing promises and the other half in ex plaining why he didn't keep them. KANSAS COMMENT STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU. The progress of the campaign for the state immigration bureau is gratifying. Papers all over the state are taking up the matter. Members of the legislature are talking about it, and writing letters, and giv ing their assurance to, their friends that they will stand for it After all, why should they not? The immigration beureau is a distinct investment to any state. It is an ad vertising factor, and in this day, to succeed is to advertise. Not only will a general boost and publicity move ment be given to the publio generally in regard to Kansas, but information of the fullest kind will be passed out, and Land Shows and big expositions will have what they do not now have representation and display on the part of the Sunflower state. There, should be no doubt, by Jan uary, of the passage of a law creating the state immigration bureau. Garden City Telegram, CUBAN GRATITUDE 1 The Yankees spent millions of dol lars in freeing the Cubans from Span ish oppression. Are the Cubans grate ful? On the contrary, they hate us cordially. In Havana recently there died a man who was notoriously at the head of the white slave traffic in Havana. He had accumulated great riches in his trade, and deserved no honors from the public when he died. Yet Havana gave him the greatest funeral which the city has seen In years. Why did the masses turn out and pay eulogistic tribute to this degraded character? He had in the last two or three years been the head of a movement to drive the hated Yankess from influence In Cuba, He, had denounced Uncle Sam early and late, and had appealed to all the class hatred in the island. At his death the populace forgave his villainy, and pro nounced him the greatest patriot in the land because he was such a good hater himself and catered to their hatred of Americans. Atchison Globe. FROM 01IIER PENS LOCATION OF HEAVEN. It is not an original thought with Captain Maximilian von Erdmansdorff, who has written a treatise on the sub ject, that the planet Jupiter is the heaven of the souls that leave our ma- terial world. Such an idea .is as old I as the thought of heaven itself and as these persons have also settled in their minds that if any of the planets is heaven, then that" one is Jupiter, the giant of the planetary system with which we are best acquainted. Of course, it is. all a matter of theorizing and speculation, but so are all things which are' beyond the Juris diction of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. The thought of heaven, the abode of the blessed, is based upon faith and hope, and there is as much reason for believing that heaven is located on Jupiter as anywhere else. The vastness of the, planet Is an an Bwer to all objectipns as to size, and there argument must cease, for the greatest of telescopes would be train ed upon Jupiter in. vain if efforts were made to learn any detail of Its fitness as the Paradise that is the longed for goal ot mankind. .Pittsburg Chronicle ueiegrapn. IF CANAL WORKERS STRIKE. A strike of large proportions among tne workers in tne employ of the Pan ama Canal commission would be difr ferentlated in Interesting particulars rrom the type or big strikes that, un fortunately, are still only too common in the United States. The canal strip is practically under military rule. Measures looking to the suppression of disorder ought easily to be enforced. Furthermore, practically all the inhabitants of the strip are canal employees. Presumably, strikers would promptly leave for their homes, If they no longer desired to work, and In the event that they did not leave voluntarily they probably could be compelled to leave. Yet a government Is undoubtedly at a great disadvantage when It Is the party against which a strike is waged. That is one of the reasons why many persons oppose an extension of govern ment activities to pursuit? accustomed in the past to be carried on under private auspices. The purely Industrial issues of a strike can readily be made political Issues when a government is the employer, and a government in fear of election reverses may be in clined to yield through political pres sure what it would not be apt to yield I yield. In the event of a widespread strike in Panama, the United States govern ment would be confronted with the same problem with which the French government has been confronted In re cent months. It may be instructive to contrast the respective wisdom and de termination shown by the two in deal ing with the problems. St. Louis Re public. 1 GLOBE SIGHTS. tFrom the Atchison Globe. Railroad men will not dance except at a "grand ball." A statesman Is any man who gets a majority of the voles. No Kansas man can go to heaven unless he "fights" the railroads. A funeral at a house attracts people who never go there at any other time. Old fashioned women say men who are overfohd of dogs are mean to women. Almost every public speaker men tions his dear wife, and the fact that he has been abroad. When a man has a good horse, how unreasonable he is when you try to trade him out of it! If you want really good clothes, you must pay stiff prices for them, even if times are hard. When some men have ten cents' worth of business, they make ninety cents worth of fuss over it. When a man succeeds, he does It in spite of everybody, and not with the assistance of everybody. Women are always saying to the men, "You don't know how much work there is around a house." The larger the town a girl comes from, the lower her dress is cut In the neck when she attends a party. The women are just as modest as they used to be, but powder disguises a blush, as well as some other things. Eight hours' work a day will not hurt any man; It's the eight hours work that follows at night that hurts. When congress acts the fool next week, remember that the members didn't elect themselves: the People did it. THE TCTTr TX'fi T rp.

Chicago Record-Herald. THE EVENING STORY Tha Healing of a Breach. (By Marian C. Walton.) "If only I were a man," Ellen ex ploded, her eyes dark with tears. Clayton's eyes twinkled despite their open admiration. "No doubt it is possible to improve on the ways of providence," he said. "Still In this case, I don't see any misfit." "Of course not you believe "What ever is, is right,'" Ellen flung at him in a tone meant to be crushing. Clayton took her hands in his. looked carefully at the pink palms, soft as a baby's, at the filbert nails, the tapering tips and went on: "It really seems to me the powers that be knew their business. What could you do with these hands? Besides men are not allowed to cry merely for getting vexed nothing short of losing a for tune or a wife excuses them for being lachrymose "Hush! .You are too hateful for anything! Anything!" Ellen burst out. "Of course, if I were a man I shouldn't be the ridiculous nuisance I am I should have reach and strength of body to match my strength of mind "Dear me! Where do you keep It? I always thought you adorably femi nine not the least bit strong-minded It alarms me dreadfully to flnd- myself mistaken. You know I've quite made up my mind to marry you. "Indeedl" the monosyllable, spoke volumes of scorn, of anger, of smothered satisfaction. Clayton caught the smothered note and smiled covertly. Ellen saw the smile, read It aright, and grew angrier than ever. "Maybe I am ungrateful," she went on, chok ing slightly, but really, it seems to me I have some rights in the case." "AH rights," Clayton conceded promptly. "But see here, honey-bug. don't, don't let's quarrel, even before we are engaged." "Then when can we quarrel? Ellen demanded. "We surely never will be 'engaged." "Do you mean that?" Clayton de manded, a hint of seriousness creep ing into his voice. Ellen looked him up and down. "I mean it. Utterly, positively!" she said. "So I had better say good-by to you I fancy you won't care to stay for dinner." "No; but I am not going until you hear me out." Clayton said half stern ly. "We have got beyond jesting. Let me state the case. You know I love you I've been showing it the best I know how this year and better. I think you love me no matter what you say now. But you are flouting me, angry with me over the most fool' ish thing hi the world. An old quar rel, one that belongs to the men of your family. If It meant anything, I'd Joy to take It up. You are pre cious to me so precious any hurt or shame or scathe to you would be worth a man's life if I knew it. But I don't intend to make myself a laugh ing stock for the county by refusing to speak from the same stand with General Peabody at the rally next week. I want to speak for many reasons I ought to do it it belongs to me aa a man and citizen. You wouldn't have me sit back, a snail in my shell "I would when that creature Pea body was around. My father simply couldn't bear him. If I were a man I'd show him the blood was true to itself no Burton ever forgets," Ellen said, her eyes flashing. Clayton was not sure whether he wanted most to kiss her or to shake her. He compromised-by kissing her hands, murmuring fond words as he did it. She snatched away the hands, say ing scornfully: "No doubt you think I'm clay to be molded as you choose. But this I tell you and you may be lieve it the day you shake hands with General Peabody, that day you cease to be even an acquaintance of mine." After the last word she turned away. Clayton whistled, and took an instant departure. He felt he had made the grand mistake of arguing where he should have entreated. "But Nell was always so sensible until now," he told himself: "How could I guess he had so much of that old fire-eater, her daddy? Game's up, it appears without a special -providence. Please send one quick kind Fate. Life without. Nell is- duller than ditch-water." Ellen had. not meant to go to the rally, but now a sense that going was Imperative fell upon her. So she was there, very fine, very gay, with Johnny Goold at her elbow. He had begged to fetch her, but she had come alone In the family carriage, save for Mammy Nance. Johnny's tender mercies were over tender he had been mad about Nell ever since they met. He was not bad looking, nor bad hearted, only lax and coarse of fiber, also easily beset with a craving for liquorl Ellen had never seen him save strictly sober "he was pardonable for failing to understand his high color, his glib speech, his all bracing affection for the universe. He was gallant to every petticoat, but he never got far away from Ellen. Long before the speaking ended, though she had not fully sensed his condition, she had begun to be uneasy. Prejudiced as she was, uneasy as she was, she had had to admit that Gen eral Peabody was worth hearing; not so well worth it as Frank Clayton, to be sure but still he was eloquent, and had sense no less than sound to what he said. Deep down she began to won der she had been regretting ever since the day of the quarrel. If only she had left a loophole but she knew how futile It was to think Frank would ever-come back? "Won't you find mammy, please?" she asked Johnny. "I think we had better go home before dinner. Tell her so and to come at once." "You're going to dine, not at this measly barbecue but with me up at the club," Johnnny said, strenuously clasping her hand, tucking It over his arm, and striding toward his big motor car. "We'll get there in no time I hate crowds like this," he ran on, half carrying Ellen as he strode along. She was wildly angry, still more frightened. Pull as she might, she could not free her hand. To scream meant a scene and anything was bet ter than that. Desperately she hung pack, casting appealing glances toward the place where Clayton had been standing a minute earlier. He had vanished, but tall old General Peabody was in evidence he caught Ellen's anguished eye. In three strides he was beside her, saying as he laid a heavy hand on Johnny's shoulder: "Pardon me. my young friend, but I must speak to Allan Burton' 8 daugh i j" Your father and X, my dear young lady, were, I regret to say, lifelong en emies. And all over a trifle a trifle moreover In which, lately, I have found that I was wrong. So I offer him through you my sincerest apology, and beg pardon. Will you grant it?" "Oh, general!" was all Ellen could say. Clayton, behind the general, caught her trembling hand as it fell from the general's clasp, and said smiling: "I am sure she 1b In a forgiving mood. Johnny Goold nearly always provokes one to repentance and remis sion." "I am very glad to to forgive everybody," Ellen said In a small tremulous voice. The general smiled, shook hands again, and bowed himself away.' "Did you really find out you were wrong?" a crony asked him as the two stood apart filled with Joy and barbecue an hour later. The general's eyes twinkled. "I have quite forgot ten what Burton and I hated each other about," he said, "but I shall nev er be old enough to forget the appeal of a girl's eyes when she's badly wor ried today I saw it, and acted accord ingly." "Yet folks say you are less man than politician," the crony said ad miringly. The general chuckled mildly. "I hope I'm pretty much. all there Is of both." he said, "for the credit of my country, no less myself." (Copyright ed, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.) Monarchs in Exile. Philippe, Duo d'Orleans, for example. A handsome, well-set-up man, with strong features, dancing eyes, and a pointed beard of the prevailing Paris ian mode. He does not live in Paris, however. The last of the Bourbon family in a direct line from Henry of Navarre, he was taught by his father, the late Comte de Paris, that eventual ly he would reign as king of France. This would be, of course, when God and the people willed It. But the call might come at any time, and he must always be prepared to fulfill his destiny. So, in the soft, warm mist of the up per reaches of the Thames where ex iles love to go he grew uip, to be a king or a mere citizen of the world, as it might happen. When the comte died his son retained the j-retty home at Twickenham. He spends some of his time there now, but not much. Fre quently he sails away to Africa. Asia, Australia, the Rockies anywhere that he can use a gun. For he is a hunter by nature, and generally he goes after big game. Now and again he slips into Paris to see a few loyal friends through a haze of cigarette smoke. In some retired cafe he confers demo cnatcially with the bourgeoisie and men in blouses. He feels that it is to this class he must look If he Is ever to live as the master at Versailles. The authorities In Paris generally know when he is there. But, unless he becomes perniciously' active as -he did 10 or 12 years ago, -when Labort was liberating Dreyfus from Devil's Island they let him alone- During the Drey fus agitation, when party; feeling ran high,! and the man In the street was spoiling for a fight, he tried to work up a Bourbon- sentiment on his personal behalf. The result was that he had to cross the English channel in a hurry, never stopping in his flight until he reached Twickenham, where he could gird at the French police In safety. He was only an impetuous young man who believed In himself and the Justice of his cause. The Bookman. Pie In Oklahoma Politics. If Representative Creager of Okla homa who is seeking a re-election, is successful. It will not be because of his knowledge of the etiquette of pie, but in spite of it. In the course of his campaign he attended a pie social at Needmore, which is in the territory of the Cherokee nation. The Needmore girls had baked a gorgeous array of pumpkin pies, and these, each packed in a separate box, were to be disposed of by raffle. Mr. Creager took a chance and drew a pie of generous proportions and comely features, but not being pie hungry, he dropped his prize in a patch of weeds on the out skirts of the grounds. When his meth od of disposing or it was discovered there were large and varied assort ments of trouble for Mr. Creager. The etiauette of the game required that the winner of a pie should hunt up the girl who baked it and share the eating of It with her. The maker of Mr. Creager s pie happened to be an attractive and popular Cherokee Indian girl, and her friends insist that she has been insulted by the representative's treatment of her artistic pastry. The affair has been taken up by the poli ticians, and that rejected pie has be come a live issue in the local cam paign, with the result that Mr. Creag er's bolitical scalp is in grave peril. The moral is that-a statesman should never scorn a pie, certainly never near election, day. New York Mall. -No Difference Anywhere.

And I was reminded of the story told me by an old Topeka liveryman. This liveryman owned several hacks In the good old days when running a hack was surer than selling mining stock. He hired several men to run these several hacks. The theory was that the drivers were getting a salary, and would therefore turn in what they collected during the night to the own er. One morning the owner came down earlier than usual, and heard a soliloquy in the harness room. He looked through a crack, and discover ed one of his night hackmen preparing to make an accounting. The driver sat on the floor, and was dividing the money In two piles, and saying: 'A dollar fer th" old man an' a dollar fer muh a dollar fer th' old man an' a dollar fer muh.' Finally the driver came to the last of the pile a two dollar bllL He scratched his head a moment and then murmured audibly: Th best way tuh divide this is tuh toss It up. If it stays up. It is th' old man's. If It comes down, it's mine.' Rolling the bill In a tight wad. he tossed it up. It caught in a cob web near the ceiling, and stayed up. The driver waited a moment, got a broom and knocked it down, then tossed it up again. This time it came down and was added to the driver's pile. My friend, the owner, bounced In and fired the driver for not playing fair. But on several occasions I have felt convinced that, had a reporter been standing over the cab driver at the time he made the division, the two-dollar bill would not have been tossed a second time."

A Stubborn Cinderella comes to the Grand for two performances Wednes day matinee and night. The Los An geles Daily Times says: The Auditorium theater is the home of what probably is the best all-around musical show of its kind that has vis ited Los Angeles this year. There are nearly as many musical comedies as there are aspiring dramatists; and on the other hand there are only about as many excellent musical comedies, as there are excellent dramatists which is very few. That a musical comedy can rise above the mediocre and embody in its sensuous and artistic appeals, is demonstrated in A Stubborn Cinderella, the name of the musical entertainment that the Shuberts offer this week at the Auditorium. The success of a mus ical comedy by no means depends upon the excellence of the libretto or on the catchiness of its music. A poor show may be redeemed by the quality of the performance, and the commendable show may be ruined by the inadequacy of the company which presents it. This latter is often the case. But in A Stubborn Cinderella we have an ag gregation of players in no way inferior to the materials they use. Every mem ber of the company is talented and trained to a nicety. One rarely has the pleasure of seeing a performance so excellent in every detail. The prin cipals, without exception, are superla tively good in their many and widely differentiated roles. E. Colt Albertson, In the part of "Mac," the impecunious but ever-debonair college youth, cre ates an almost perfect romantic-comedy part. Edwin Burns, who caricatures that collegiate incubus, a dry tutor, is almost as funny as he is impossible; while Bobby Wagner, as "Fat," puts over a line of comedy stuff that is im mense. The part of "Col. Hunt," the braw and bumptious Scotch guardian to "Lady Leslie," was eaten up by Dan Moyles in fine shape. Neil Burns, as little "Skeeter," the uneasy amoreux. looked the part and acted it admirably. Linford R. Lefferson, in hia dual roles, was almost as good as they make 'em, and no more pessimistic personage has yet been produced on a Los Angeles stage than Edwin Burns, the harmonlco engineer.

The following from a Chicago paper, gives a hint ot the appearance of a box of fashionably dressed women at the opera: "Gowns are extremely decollete this season. Some of them are practically without backs, so nar row is the line of bodice seen at each side. The favorite style seems to be a deep V-shaped opening, the point of the V not finished until it reaches the waist. Another style is to have the corsage cut U-shaped. This also dis plays a minimum of bodice and a maximum of back. When you also have a skirt of tight flimsy material with a satin underskirt some few inches shorter than the chiffon over dress, the effects is of audacity." Yet Chicago forbids the beautiful Mary her Salome dance, and she at least is hon est in not pretending to be clothed. But these Chicago women must have better looking spinal columns than most women have, and possibly the beauty doctors pad them with paraffin.

Let me tell you about It, in case you are interested in any charitable en terprise and are weary of the stale old methods of reaching people's pockets, A committee of the people most vi tally interested is chosen. These peo ple are named "years." These "years" must each give one dollar and find twelve people to act as "months." The "months" must each give fifty cents and find four people to act as "weeks." The "weeks" must each give twenty five cents and fine seven people to act as "days." The "days," as perhaps you have guessed by now, must each give ten cents and find twenty-four people to act as "hours." The hours are lucky1. All they have to do is give five cents. At this rate, if each fulfills his part, the sum collected from the activities which are started by a single year will be something like four hundred dol lars. If you wish to know more exact ly than that you will doubtless find It an interesting sum In arithmetic. My self, I must confess that arithmetic) Is not my strong point and I only got as far as the weeks. In the case of which I heard, there were twelve years, which made the sum total almost five thousand, but this was in a large city and for a char ity which had a very wide appeal. If the scheme were tried in a small er community I should think one year would be quite sufficient, as when that year has found Its months, the months their weeks, the weeks their, days, and the days their hours, the sum total of people reached will be over seven thousand. Of course no sectional or sectarian charity would be apt to be successful In such a scheme, as it reaches so very many people that it must be something of very wide appeal. I know of a church which tried It and failed, and I don't wonder. The advantage of the scheme is, of course, in the large number of people enlisted in the work; In the fact that many people who, if asked to give an Indefinite sum, might refuse for fear they could not give a large enough one, would be perfectly willing to con tribute if asked for some small definite sum like, ten or twenty-five cents, and in the fact that the work of collecting the money is so beautifully systematiz ed each day reporting to its week, each week to its month, each month to Its year. Success to you If you try' this scheme. TO MARK DEATH TRAIL CaUfornlans Will Ask the Government for an Appropriation. Los Angeles, Cal., Dec 5.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5,1910. THE MEN OF OLD. Forefathers of Topeka Meet to Celebrate Birthday. City Is Fifty-Six Years Old Today. TALK OF EARLY DAYS. One Member of the Town Com pany Left. Mayor Billard One of the Real Pioneers. The fifty-sixth anniversary of the founding of Topeka 19 being celebrated today by 150 pioneers of Shawnee county who are holding a- meeting at the First Christian church, 618 Topeka avenue. The meeting opened at noon today and at 1 o'clock a big basket dinner was enjoyed In the basement of the church. Many of the early residents of the county and state are attending ithe meeting and they are busily swapping yarns of frontier life in the Sunflower state. The old settlers did not heed the snow storm this morning and the meeting .this year is largely attended. Several persons attending the meeting were in Shawnee county before the founding of Topeka and one member of the original townsite company is present, Thomas Hickey, Mrs. D. L. Lincoln, in point of resi dence in Kansas, is the oldest person attending the meeting. Mrs. Lincoln Is a daughter of Anthony Ward and wife and her father was a wagon maker for the Shawnee and Pottawat omie Indians She was born at the old Shawnee mission, near Westport, Oc tober 22, 1844. Her father and mother were married at the mission and Mrs. Lincoln spent her early childhood there. F. Sardou came to Topeka with J. B. Billard, now mayor, Aug. 28, 1854. They came direct from France and they are the only two men in Shaw nee county still occupying their, old homesteads. Mr. Sardou's mother came to Topeka last September, after spend ing a few years at her old home In France. She lived in Topeka thirty years and when she returned last fall said she expected to spend her remain ing days in Shawnee county on her eon's homestead. "When we came to Kansas. May 25, 1856." said Mrs. Dolman Finlay, who is attending the celebration, "there were Vild strawberries everywhere. The woods were literally full of them and I believe it was the grandest sight of my life. We stayed in Lawrence the night following the burning of the Eldridge house and then came by stage to Tecumseh. That was a great town in those days. The court house was there' and the place was much larger than Topeka. We thought it would certainly be the capital of the state, but Topeka got ahead of it. Julia Stimson was the earliest settler In Te cumseh and she and I used to go ber-r. rying together and had great times. "But along with the fun we girls had there were some stormy times. I re member Jim Lane -ran my husband and me out of Tecumseh and hauled us in a wagon to Lawrence. All of the women were taken to Lawrence for protection on that occasion and it was ten days before they allowed us to re turn." Mrs. Finlay has lived in Topeka 40 years. She is now making her home at 603 Topeka avenue. J. A. Hickey, of Topeka, is attend ing the meeting today, and his stories of early day Kansas life are equal to those of any of the olcT settlers. "I came In 1S54," said Mr. Hickey. "and am the only survivor of the or iginal townsite company. We had lit tle thought then that Topeka would be the town it is today and when one looks back over the events of a half century, it seems almost impossible that Kansas could have grown from the wilderness of the early 50's to the great state it is todav." Albert McClain, of 606 Lawrence ave nue, came to Shawnee county earlier than any other man attending this year's meeting. "We came in November,' 1848," said Mr. McClain. "There waa. no Topeka here in those days and it was all one great vast wilderness. I remember we The FLAVOUR'S THERE See that you get it out.

John Carter, of 106 East Sixth avenue, is attending the meeting. He came from Virginia to what is now Shawnee coun ty in the fall of 1859. He fenced and farmed the quarter section of land near Topeka which la now the property of the state industrial school. About 150 old timers and their chil dren sat down to the big dinner in the basement of the church. At the afternoon session short speech es were made by J. M. Meade, Mrs. M. C. McFarland, J. G. Waters. M. O. Gar vey, Mrs. Burge, Col. Veal, Mrs. Ella Spencer, A. B. Whiting, A. R. Banks. S. J. Keeder, and F. I. Bonebrake. The Modoc club furnished music, at the meeting this year- J. M.

Cook, who returned this morning from Chicago, where he attended the annual meeting of the ex ecutives of the fairs and expositions of the country, states that the date of the Topeka fair next fall has been definite ly fixed as September 9-16, Hutchinson coming next in orders "A resolution was passed," said Sec retary Cook, "to the effect that it will be the policy of all fairs not to issue passes. The Kansas state fair carried out .this plan this year with the excep tion of the press, so that we were not so much behind Minnesota where the idea originated, and has been carried out successfully for the last two years. "This resolution does not "apply to city, county, and state officers. "However, the policies which might fit large and well established fairs like the Minnesota, Iowa, or Nebraska Jn stdtutions might not apply altogether to fairs that yet have to establish them selves on a firm financial basis. The management of the Topeka fair favor the anti-pass method and will pursue a policy along that line. "Delegates from southern and east ern states in attendance at this meet ing in some way had heard of the suc cess of the fair at Topeka this year, and they were most complimentary in their manner of expressing them selves. They wanted to learn of the methods that have built up successful and useful educational Institutions In the west and southwest. "This evening at the Commercial club at 7:30 o'clock the annual business meeting of the stockholders of the Kansas State Fair association will be held for. the purpose of electing officers for the coming year, and to discuss plans for the future. "The main thing will be to amend and revise the by-laws which have been extremely defective this year, so that they will conform in all particu lars to the laws of the state, and in order that they wil better serve the fair association." Followfng are the fair dates for 1911: Denver and Des Moines, August 2S. September 1; Lincoln. Hamline, ,and Pueblo, September 4-8; Topeka, and Huron, S.

Stafford of 720 Highland avenue was driving behind a second vehicle on East Sixth avenue on his way home Saturday evening, an auto mobile ran over his fine Irish setter dog which was running alongside. Apparently tne Killing of the dog was intentional on the part of the man who was manipulating the auto at least that was the way it appeared to Stafford. No horn was tooted but tne man at the wheel turned the car, put on a burst of speed and ran down the animal. The car which carried three passen gers was black and had no top, but be yond this it was impossible on account of the darkness to get a clue as to whose auto It was or as to the Identity of the man who, judging from appear ances, took delight in running down a dog. This is the sort of thing that brings autolsts into discredit and these men should be taught a lesson if pos sible.

The two young men were thrown to the pavement and Anderson was bruised about the body. Billard slid a number of yards on his side but no serious injuries resulted. The motor car suffered a dented tonneau and a broken rear wheel. The driver attempted to turn north on Jefferson street at the cornor of Sixth and Jefferson, when the car slid on the icy pavement and struck the curbing. Sliding along the curb stones it hit the guy pole of the street railway and the accident resulted.

Pollock, of his state, as associate justice of the United States supreme court. This fact was developed when a Kansas con gressman went to the White House to boost Judge Pollock's candidacy. He was told that the president had re ceived a telegram from the Kansas governor protesting against Pollock's appointment. While the White House didn't make the full text of the message public tt is understood that the governor's ob jection to Judge Pollock is that he Is too friendly with the corporations. The governor has endorsed no other Kanaan for the place. He simply sug gests that Tart should pick out big men like Hughes of New Tork. It thus places the governor in the attitude of rather seeing Kansas lose a place -on the supreme court than having Judge Pollock appointed. What effect the governor's protest win have is not known. The president has never yet forgiven Stubbs for the way he tried to put the White House In bad with the Kansas delegation In congress over the Stone appointment. It will be recalled that the governor asked the president to appoint Robert Stone, of Topeka, as assistant attorney general. The president did it with the understanding that it was satisfactory with the Kansas delegation. Stubbs never consulted the delega tion at all and after the appointment was made boasted how he had "put one over" on it. This angered the president ana ne withdrew the appoint ment and later gave the Dlace to Judge McCabe of Topeka, a friend of senator Curtis. The governor declined today to give out tne text or his dispatches to Taft on the Judgeship matter until he could accompany them with a statement ex. plaining his motive in sending the dis patches. It Is known, however, that the governor plainly stated in these two messages his objections to the Pol lock appointment. Chief of these is the alleged fact that Judge Pollock is friendly to the railroads and cornora tions. It has never been a secret that Governor Stubbs and the lnnrnt leaders of Kansas have been hostile to juage rotrock ever since he tied up the guaranty law through an injunction. Senator Bristows Salina Journal is also opposing the Pollock appointment. NAVAJO INDIANS GOING HOME. Party of Sixteen In Topeka From Chi cago Ijand Show.

I want to contract with you for some new toys. I have always done better by contract than any other way. I want an oil well, with 1,000 barrels flow a day. I need this oil, or will need it, to pour on the troubled waters when the next leg islature meets. I want some more books about Abraham Lincoln and William Penn and Oliver Cromwell. -I want an engine and a train of cars so I can haul Kansas grain to the gulf for 18 cents and make the railroads be good. I want a commission to control state wide utilities. I want the initiative, whatever that la, you know, and also the referendum, you can pick these up in Switzerland, I believe, on your way over here. I want a phonograph that will play the same tune the pied piper played when all the children followed him. I want a box of hasheesh to feed to my friends so they will see splendid visions, and I Want a box of potions to feed to my enemies so they will sleep for two years. I want a pair of seven league boots instead of skates. I want a jack-in-the-box that will scare the most hardened railroad president into a conniption fit. I want a trumpet like the one Joshua had at Jericho so that when. I blow it the walls of the city of trusts and monopo lies will fall down. -1 want a shovel that will dig a 14-foot channel in the Mississippi river from the lakes to the gulf. I want a drum that I can beat so hard that President Taft will hear it in Washington and I want it to sound to him like a knock on Judge Pollock for the supreme bench. I want a Christmas tree lighted with stars, so the people can all see the way to bet ter things, and I want a whole lots of nuts and candy so I can feed every body. And oh yes, I want an overcoat no, not' an overcoat exactly, but a cloak no, mantle, a loose flowing robe like the Roman senators used to wear. A covering that is worn with dignity and profit. I want this awfully bad, and there Is a black-headed boy has the one-1 wanfe H has had IV a long time. If I can't have It this Christmas, will you please save It for me for next Christmas and not let any one have it but me when you do give it away. It is a toga, that's what it is, I remember now. They tell me you don't give them every Christmas, only once-in-awhlle, well when you give away the next one. remember I asked first for it. and if I can have it alone I won't ask for anything, else. I hope you don't have any accident on your trip this year, and I hope you will re member all the common people with nice presents. Yours truly, WALTER ROSCOK Topeka, Deq6, 1910. Dear Santa Claus: I still have some presents left over from last Christmas and believe that I can play with them for another year yet, but I wish you would save for me a big chair that sits in front of a desk in the governor's room In the state house. I want this chair and will take good care of it and will try to fill it to suit you. I have worked hard for two years for the other boys and held the sack while they gathered In pres ents, but I don't complain any at all. I only want that chair some time, the chair the governor sits in to rule the state. This is a nice thing to ask for, Santa Claus, and better than a lot of toys that litter up the floor and make noise. It is better than candy and nuts which make boys sick. It is the onlv thine I want, and if I cannot have It this year, I want you to save it for me. Good by. Yours very truly, JOEY DOLLET. Frank M.

The representatives demanded an explanation of the county health officer, Dr. John Davles, who failed to make a satisfactory explanation. The school districts appointed a com mittee to wait upon the commissioners asking for the return of the money taken from the fund of each district without orders and another committee was appointed to see the county attor ney about beginning a suit to recover the money. The history of the fumigation dates back several" months when the health officer made the tour of the county, 105 school districts, in eight days and claimed to have killed every microbe. However, it is claimed some districts he never visited and in all others the work was dene according to the least notion of medical methods. The entire county is aroused over the matter and there Is no doubt but something will be accomplished by the indignation meeting held at the court house.

Walter Archer, a 17-year-old aviator, fell 700 feet in an aeroplane of his own invention at Sa lida, Colo., and was instantly killed. Nearly every bone in his body was broken. Archer's machine was driven by electricity secured from the Salida Power company's plant. A coil of wire 700 feet long, connected the power plant with the aeroplane, and Archer, when he made his ascension intended to maneuver within the ra dius of the wire. He ventured a trifle too high and the wires snapped, leav ing him without power to operate his propellers. With little experience as an aviator, he lost control of the ma i nine, which turned over, dashing him to death on a pile of rocks below.

E., was held Sunday night in the Elks' hall, the families of the members also being present. "Ye are the salt of the earth," said t' e Rev. Charles A. Finch, who gave the address in honor of the departed Elks. "Salt is a preservative and, like religion, if taken in time, will preserve to the end of life. If it can be said of any one that they are the salt of the earth or the best people on earth, it is because they preserve and conserve the best things of life, lending spice and flavor to the human existance. "In this world there are two classes of men, the workers and the shirkers, and it is axiomatic that the workers never shirk, while the shirkers never work. One class is, indeed, salt, and the other has entirely lost its savor. The Elks are workers. They believe that the principles upon which the order rests are most powerful in fill ing the world with song and laughter, light and love. "Gentlemen, with abiding faith in your mission, press on in your efforts to season the world with the salt of hu man kindness." The full program rendered was as follows: Prelude, Gordon's orchestra: entrance of lodge members; opening exercises. ay me loage; selection, quartette; ritual service, officers of the lodge; opening ode; invocation, by the chap lain; eulogy, Bro. L. M. Penwell; se lection, Gordon's orchestra; address, Salt," Rev. Charles A. Finch: selec tion, quartette; closing exercises, by the lodge; doxology, audience joining; benediction.

MARRIED15YEAR OLD GIRL Now the Bridegroom Is Spending Honeymoon Alone in Jail. J. E. Kitchell, a painter, was arrested late Saturday night on a charge of ab ducting pretty 15-year-old Esther Randall, a- daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Ran dall, of 1436 Kansas avenue. Kitchell and the girl had gone to the probate court Saturday afternoon and procured a mar riage license on the girl's statement that she was 18 years old. They were later married at the home of Rev. W. I. Cole, in North Topeka. Before leaving for their prospective home in Kansas City, the new ly married couple wrote the girl's parents a. nuve. wit a ims note mat lea to Kitchen's arrest. It is alleged that Kitchell could not legally marry the girl because of hier aere and for the further reason that he has a wite living. Jvitchell denies the statement that he has a wife. He spent Sunday at the police station and today was turned over to the county officers when a state warrant was issued lor his arrest. PIGEON CLUB IN TOPEKA.

Continued from Page One.) er part of the congregation left their seats in silence. There were no words of sorrow, although many a tear was shed. The strains of the recessional on the great organ were as joyous' as ever. As the church goers scattered after the services, the question of future leadership was referred to with great reserve. Will Cause No Change. Those who expressed'- a view said there would be no change in the meth ods of carrying on the work, that Mrs. Eddy's teachings and instructions would be implicitly followed and the church that she founded would con tinue to grow In the future as It had in the past. It was pointed out that with the ex-'j ception of a few routine matters the actual direction of the church work was relinquished to a great degree by Mrs. Eddy some years before her death, although she continued to keep in close touch with those to whom she had entrusted the work and had a clear understanding of how It was be lnr performed. The notice, read at the morning ser vice of the mother church, was repeat ed at the evening service to an un usually large congregation and also was read at many other Christian Science churches in this section of the country. Dr. George L. West, the medical ex aminer who was called to the home of Mrs. Eddy, and who filled out the death certificate, made the following state ment: "I was called to the home of Mrs. Eddy early this morning, and arrived there about 4:30. I was met at the door by Calvin A. Frye and others of the household, who directed me to a bed chamber on the second floor. Here I met Mrs. Sargent. 'I found the body of a woman of about 90 years old lying on the bed, her hands crossed over her heart. The face was somewhat wasted, but kindly, and in repose. I talked with Mr. Frye, who said: 'Mrs. Eddy had been in error about a week and passed away very quietly." Mr. Frye described the symptoms and spoke of an inflammation of the chest which led me to the conclusion that pneumonia had been the contributory cause of death." Alfred L. Farlow, of the publication committee of the Christian Scientist church, and other leaders In the moth er church, declined to make statements concerning the last hours of Mrs. Eddy beyond the one made public in the course of the day. Miss Sibyl Wilbur, the latest of Mrs. Eddy's biographers, whose "life" was approved by the leader and by the church authorities, says that "no mys tery today surrounds Mrs. Eddy s life story. Her birth, her ancestry for 200 years, her education, her social devel opment, her individual- service to the world, have been scrutinized with the strong searchlights of both love and criticism. Other less friendly commentators on Mrs. Eddy's work and life have criti cized her more or less severely and some have denounced her as an im iposter. Sketch of Her Life. Her life began among the granite foothills of New Hampshire. Her fath er, Mark Baker, was a farmer of Bow and a descendant of revolutionary and colonial heroes, while her mother was of Scottish, ancestry, ghff was the youngest of three daughters and she had three brothers. She was of delicate health from her birth and in her childhood is said to have perplexed her father by sage say ings and grave doings. Her education in little schools and later at the Pem broke academy was supplemented by what she gathered from discussion of religious matters at the family fire side, when several leading clergymen called to talk over church matters with her father. In the early forties George Washing ton Glover, formerly of Concord, be came associated with Samuel Baker, the third son, and as a result Mary Baker and he were married about Christmas in 1843 at Tilton. N. H. The Glovers went to the .south .where Mrs. Eddy saw slavery in its worst forms and there the June after her marriage, she was left a widow. Returning to New Hampshire, she gave birth to her son, George Washington Glover, in Sep tember. 1 Mary Baker Glover spent the next few years with her sister, Abigail, and other relatives in New Hampshire and began literary work, with several ar ticles on her observations of slavery In the south. She also taught school. About 1850 a wave of spiritualism swept over New England, which drew her attention to some extent. Her Second Marriage. After nine years of widowhood. Mrs. Eddy married Dr. Daniel Patterson, a New Hampshire dentist. This marriage was not happy. However, the relation ship was continued for 20 years, when it was severed by divorce. A .notable event of Mrs. Eddy s lire was her meeting In 1862 with Phineas Quinby. a mesmeric healer at the In ternational hotel In Portland, Mr. Quinby, who was the son. of a black smith, was described at the time of his meeting with Mrs. Eddy as a shrewd little man of argumentative disposition and dogged determination. From ac quaintance with him, Mrs. Eddy became imbued with metaphysical ideas and be gan a career in that direction which made her one of the most lamous or me world's mental healers. Mrs. Eddy, then- Mrs Patterson, dwelt long under the influence of Quinbys mesmeric belief and it came to have a great, though not supreme weight in her subsequent teachings, Later she denounced Quinby"s meth ods and said: "I discovered the science of mind reading and that was enough." After spending two yeara in Port land. Mrs. Patterson rejoined her hus band in Lynn, where she lived five years, continuing her study of meta physics. While there she suffered a fall on the ice which the doctor saw was severe, but from which she recov ered, she said, in one night. It was this incident that led directly to the promulgation of her discovery of Christian Science. The little house on Broad street. In Lynn, where she lived at this time, is a mecca of Christian Science pilgrims from all over the world today. It was in 1875, nine years after the discov ery, that the first edtion of "Science and Health was puDiisneo. Tne Clos ing chapters of the manuscript were written in an upper room of the Broaa street house. Weds a Third Time. In 1877, four years' after her sep aration from Mr. Patterson, the found er of the new belief was married to Asa Gilbert Eddy. In the interval she had been admitted Into the Congre gational denomination and baptized. Mrs. Eddy established the Massa chusetts Metaphysical college in Bos ton In 1881. Her teachings were tak en up and accepted at first by a few followers and as years passed, by a larger and larger number until the de nomination today extends to many lands and numbers millions of adher ents. Mrs. Eddyrbegan preaching in 1873 and organized, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston In 1879. Subsequently, a large edifice was erected in this city, of which she was made pastor emeritus. Her writings at this time became very voluminous and she Contributed largely to the Chris tian Science Journal,- the Christian Science Sentinel and Der Herold Der Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy took up her residence In Concord In 1889 and It was at her home in Pleasant View that she watched the great growth of her de nomination and received many enthu siastic followers.'- Finally the number of visitors became so large that she was forced to ask them to cease their calls, Nevertheless, large delegations con tinued to go up the Merrimac river", and in June, 1903, 10,000 Christian Scientists visited Concord and heard a few words from their leader. In the last few years of Mrs. Eddy's life in Concord there was a newspaper controversy over her identity and for several days the city was filled with reporters drawn there on the charge that another person was Impersonat ing her. Mrs. Eddy was obliged to exhibit herself to a Jury of newspaper men. Mrs. Eddy took up her residence at Chestnut Hill, Newton, in a large stone house in 1908 and there her last days were passed. For the last three years she lived a quiet, peaceful life, much of it a seeming monotony, which her frierfds said was consumed most ly in constant study. From a window at Chestnut Hill could be seen the white dome of the Christian Science temple, planted close beside the little mother church which she founded 30 years before. Mrs. Eddy's literary efforts were al most wholly in prose, but her poems have been set to music as hymns and are sung at all Christian Science meet ings. The most .noteworthy of these begins: "Shepherd," show me how to go O'er the hillside steep How to gather, how to sow, How to feed Thy sheep." WAITS ON HER SON. Mrs. Eddy's Funeral Win Not Be Ar ranged Until He Arrives. Boston, Dec. 5. Arrangements for the funeral of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder and leader of the Chris tian Science church, who died late Saturday night at her home in Chest nut Hill, Newton, will not be made un til the arrival here late tomorrow night from South Dakota of her only son, George W. Glover. Mr. Glover, accompanied by his daughter Mary and son George, jr.. started from Lead, .S. D., last night. Mr. Glover can not reach Boston be fore tomorrow night, making it impos sible to arrange for the funeral before Wednesday. In his statement of the death of Mrs. Eddy, Alfred Farlow of the Chris tian Science Publishing company, said neither the time nor the place of the funeral had been decided upon. He admitted that in deference to Mrs. Eddy's well known taste for simplicity, it was likely the services would be private, consisting probably of prayer and reading from the Bible, with se lections from "Science and Health." "Onlv her relatives, members of her household and the officials of the church are expected to "attend the burial," said Mr. Farlow. Before leaving his home in South Dakota, Mr. Glover said he believed his mother's bur,ia would be at Tilton, N.-.H., where tip abnsbandV 'GeoTgefW.! Glover, is burledA A woman in high standing in the Christian Science church in Concord, N.H., who refused to consent to the use of her name, voiced what has been understood by many Scientists here, that' Mrs. Eddy's remains would be buried in the mother church.- "We of the Concord church had ex pected Mrs. Eddy to return to Concord and spend hed last days here. Now, however, it Is improbable that even her remains will rest here, as there seems to be a general understanding among the church at large that her body will rest in the crypt of the mother church at Boston." Ebenezer J. Foster Eddy of Water- bury, Vermont, Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, is expected to be present at the funeral. When asked last night who would succeed Mrs. Eddv as the head 'of the church, Alfred Farlow said: "I don't know that any one will succeed her. Everything will go on as usual." The statement given out by Mr. Cox for the twelve churches in this city says the work will go on smoothly. "Mrs. Eddy," he said, "never preached that there was no material death al though she had predicted the ultimate conquest of death in times to come, and there need be no difficulty in the minds of the Christian Scientists on reconciling the physical fact of her death with their disbelief in death itself. "The Church of Christian Science in this city and elsewhere will run on smoothly of its own momentum. Mrs. Eddy gave It such an Impetus and placed it on such an enduring basis that it can adequately guide itself. "There can be no question ot wno is to succeed Mrs. Eddy. She can have no successor. Christian Scien tists the world over universally regard her as the discoverer and founder of the religion she taught and there can not be two founders of a religion." WILL BE XO SUCCESSOR, Christian Science Church Will Be Man- aged By a Board. Boston. Dec. 5. The reticence of the Christian Science leaders and officials as well as nearly all members of the denominations to comment on the death of the leader, Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy continued today and no official state ment followed those given out yester day when the first announcement of her passing was made public. The fact that her last message, or words, "God is My Life," were written by her on a ipad of paper on Thursday was confirmed today and also that her son, George W. Glover, had started east from Lead, S. D., and probably would arrive here Wednesday morning. Some sort of a funeral service will be held and it was Intimated today that it might take place Wednesday afternoon, probably at her late residence.- The church will continue to be managed by a board of directors which at pres ent consists of A. B. Stewart. Archibald B. McLellan, Stephen B. Chase, John V. Dittemore and Adam H. Dickey. These men were all chosen by Mrs. Eddy, but the bylaws of the church provide for the filling of any vacancies by the board itself. There will be no successor of Mrs. Eddy.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURnAIh MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1910. 9 STUBBS TO RIPLEY Kansas Governor Again Writes to Santa Fe President. Music Co: Calls Attention to the Galveston Rates. HURTS THE FARMERS. Lines Are Cheap and Hauled Down Grade. Asserts That Roads Profit by Rate Making System. fnV7nof stubb has made public the r?i ?siettep he has -written to Pres R1Pley. of the Santa Fe: My Dear Mr. Ripley: Your valued tavor of October 25. referring to your Biethod of determining freight ratea. Physical valuation of railroads and the relation of railroads to the public In general, was duly received. I hope you will pardon the delay in answering your letter. As you perhaps know, I was very busy during the last days of the campaign, and have attended the Jransmississippl congress in San An tonio since the election. "I am. however, more than ever in terested in the subject matter of your letter. I am very much pleased to get your point of view on the matters re ferred to, and wish to congratulate you and the Santa Pe railroad for throwing away your gum shoes and fighting op enly for your policies In the newspa pers and at the polls. Cites Rates to Gulf. "You say in your letter 4 that the Santa Fe 'has been the chief factor in making Kansas what it is today.' If this is true, Mr. Ripley, how do you explain the fact that you charge Kan sas farmers 25 cents per 100 pounds for hauling their grain from Wichita to Galveston, practically all the distance being downgrade, while the railroads operating between Kansas City and the Atlantic seaboard haul grain nearly double the distance and across moun tain ranges for the same price? Do you not know that the cost of con struction and maintenance of railroads between Kansas City and the Atlantic seaboard is very much in excess of the cost of railroads in the territory be tween Kansas City and the gulf? Will you not admit that the cost per ton mile of hauling grain over mountain I ranges between Kansas City and the Atlantic seaboard is very much in ex- cess of the cost of transporting grain downgrade between Wichita and Gal veston? "In the face of these facts, how, Mr. Ripley, can you defend freight rates approximately 100 per cent higher per ton mile for grain and grain products between Kansas and the Gulf than are the rates on these products between Kansas City and the Atlantic seaboard "Will you kindly explain on what theory of justice the Santa Fe hauls carloads of grain from Kansas City through Wichita to Galveston for cents per 100 pounds, w hile it charges ?5 cents per 100 pounds, or more than 70 cents higher rate per ton mile for hauling grain from Wichita to Gal veston. O. i.-... Alleges Discrimination. "The interstate commerce report show that railroads operating south of Fort Worth, Dallas and Denison, Tex., have been hauling grain from these points which are about one-half the distance from Wichita to the Gulf, and receive only 5.58 cents per 100 pounds out of a total through charge of 25 cents per 100 pounds from Wichita to the Gulf. If these railroads operating south of Denison,- Fort Worth- and Dal las can haul grain at a profit approxi mately half the distance from Wichita to the Gulf for less than 6 cents per 100 pounds, how can you. Mr. Ripley, in any possible way defend a charge of 18 or 19 cents per 100 pounds, or 300 per cent more per ton mile, for the other half of this haul? "The above instances of gross dis crimination by railroads against Kan sas are fair examples of the injustice which this state has suffered at the hands of transportation companies for many years, and your statement that the Santa Fe 'has made Kansas what it is today sounds like a Joke in the face of these startling facta. "We suffer perhaps more from extor tionate and discriminating freight rates on farm implements, groceries, dry goods and merchandise that are ship ped Into the state than from discrimination and extortionate rates on grain and other products which are produced in the state and shipped to market. "It is unfair and unlawful for the Santa Fe and other Kansas railroads to enter into any agreement with east ern lines, no matter whether your un derstanding be written or implied, that forces Kansas to pay tribute to a sys tem of railroad rates based on hauling products by rail to the Atlantic sea board. We have an indisputable right to the natural advantage of water transportation between the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf ports, and we have a right in equity and in law to demand of you that rates from Kansas points to the Gulf ports be based on a reasonable charge for transportation of products to and from those ports, re gardless of any relation which your road mav bear to eastern connections. Makes New Arguments. "In your letter of October 25 you eay: 'In my 40 years' experience in the consideration of railroad rates I have not known of a case in which the physir cal value of the railroad property or its capitalization was given any consideration.- The needs of the commun ity, the value of the property to be transtported, the price at the originating point and at destination, the shipper's view of what he can afford to pay, the rates prevailing in adjacent territory, whether by rail or water and, in gen eral, the value of the service, are the factors which determine the rates, when not interfered with by the vari ous "regulating bodies which occa sionally cast stones into the meshes of the machinery." "Referring to the basi3 of freight rates in another portion of your letter, you say: 'And lastly, tihey are in part due to legislation and national laws, mostly unintelligent and passed in time of popular hysteria.' "Your statement in regard to the proper basis of freight rates as quoted above seems to be diametrically oppo site to the opinion rendered by the su preme court of the United States, where the court savs: "What the company is entitled to ask is a fair return upon the value of that which it employs for the public convenience. "Your letter indicates that when the supreme court of the United states and the presidents of the big railroad systems disagree, the railroads follow the Judgment of the officers of the com- A Gigantic SileloflCIiristmas lanosLauncnedror a j&ecor d-Pecem tier deuinir Jm 1 ir We've determined to make December the biggest month of Piano selling any store ever had! any month in Topeka.

The rank injustice and dis crimination in railroad rates has robbed Kansas of industries, popula tion and benefits that justly and natur ally belong to us. I have no doubt whatever that with reasonable rates, based on the cost of the service, this state would now have at least 500,000 more people, with .thriving cities and splendid industries, which would not only manufacture many of the prod ucts we consume at home, but would export to other states a large volume of traffic, which would be profitable to the railroad and state alike. "Under the present system "of rate making, the railroad gets the longest possible haul on the raw material, and also on the shipment of the manufac tured product. In this way the popu lation of the nation is unequally dis tributed, and in many cases to the great disadvantage of" the individual and the public. "Railroad transportation Is as much a tax upon every citizen as tariff sched ules, internal revenues, or any other in direct tax, and I am firmly convinced that taxes, direct or indirect, should be levied by the government, and the bur den equally distributed between com- munities as well as individuals, i "I hope, Mr. Ripley, you will write me a straightforward, earnest reply to this letter. Your railroad is a govern mental agency, and as an officer of that railroad you occupy an important relation to the public, and it is my hope that through a free, frank dis cussion of this question we shall be able to establish beyond any question the rights of the public and the rail roads as well." ON CHARITY ASTRAY' Guy T. Justus Tells of Abuse Planned Against Institutions. Charity sometimes goes astray, ac cording to Guy T. Justus of the Provi dent association, and it occasionally is a charitable institution that suffers. Every stranger who asks for aid is scrutinized carefully and questioned. In detail as to their circumstances. When the answers do not tally with the standard set by the association, or the evidence shows that the applicant is unworthy, the request is refused. On the other hand, when the usual -questions indicate that the assistance would be. for a worthy cause, it is never withheld. It was nearly six weeks ago when a modest looking little woman went to the offices of the association at Fourth and Jackson streets and asked for aid. Her two children were with her- and Bhe actually seemed in need. She told the officers she was willing to work and anxious to pay her own way. Her furnished room was costing $12 a month. The officers suggested that she could rent an unfurnished room for less money and the association would loan her furniture. Every few days an officer visited her and she was looked after just as scores of other women are looked after. One day recently a man called and asked questions concerning the woman. He said he was willing to contribute. The story of the woman's misfortunes appealed to Mr. Justus and he made greater energy to see that she was pro vided for comfortably. One day the man came back with a hard luck story. He waa broke. His salary would not be paid until the first of the month. He must go to Kansas. City. Mr. Justus loaned the man $4. A few days later a representative of the association vis ited the house where the woman rent ed a room. She was gone. The fur niture was sold. The man In the case, the association learned, has a wife liv ing in Kansas City. The man had de serted her. She is a cripple and a few weeks ego her husband failed to pay her rent and her household goods were set in the street. The woman, who was the subject of charity, it was learned, had come to Topeka from Sa lina. where she had a bad record. "It Just shows," said Mrs. Justus, "that you can't always tell about the stranger who knocks at your door. We are compelled to take chances and sometimes the trust is misplaced." HE IiOST HIS SEVKNTX DOIJiARS. John -Wadlington Suspects That "a iTiend" Got It. John Wadllngton, who rooms at 1313 Tyler street, called at the police station this morning and asked the officers to help him find $70, which he said some one took from bis pocket Sunday. "I was go.ng to my room Sunday even ing," said Wadlington, "when I met a man whom I knew. He walked to my room with me. Later in the evening I reached in my pocket for my money. There was the pocketbook all right, but two $30 gold pieces and three $10 bills were gone." The police told Wadlington they would look for the man who walked home with him Sunday evening. Wadlington has been in the employ of the city waterworks department more than twenty years. He said he was saving his money to go to Bloomlngton, Illinois, to visit with his sis ter whom he has not seen for a number of years. "Unless I find the money." said Wad lington, "it looks as though I will have to wait another year to make the trip." Ex-Harvard Football Captain Dead. Boston, Dec. 6. Francis H.

Twice accosted by a burly, and un kempt man, little Gertrude Allison, 15-year-old daughter of J. J. Allison, a farmer living two and a half miles south of the city on the Burlingame road, has twice saved herself by her pluck and the ready muscle of her farm training. First her assailant sprang at her from the hedge along the road from school. He grabbed her arm and drew her backward, but quick as a flash she swung her schoolbooks, which she carried in a strap, striking him full in the face. The brute was stunned and reeled. Freed from his grasp, she turned and ran to her home a quarter of a mile away. That was Wednesday," October 19, about -half past four o clock as she was returning from the country school at district No. 11. She did not return to school again that week fox the next- day the state teachers' association opened in To peka and the -school .was closed. So she did not see her assailant again un til Saturday last. This time the unknown man came to the farm house when she was alone. But he had not figured on the big watchdog. Troubles. With an unusual self possession, the girl defied her fol lower to touch her and shouted to the dog. The faithful "Trub," as he is call ed, -was upon the scene in a moment. He kept a long piece of unknown trousers for his souvenir and saw the owner far down the road. At the first Incident, the family elected to keep the matter a secret. Nothing was said even to neighbors. Now, however, when the man has per sisted in his pursuit of the girl for six weeks, they have come to the county officers for protection. From the de meanor of the man, Sheriff Norton thinks the man is some fugitive from justice. No clue as to his identity can be obtained.- Apparently the girl is in constant danger. No, I'm not afraid well, yes, I was frightened, too, when he ran out of the hedge," said the youthful heroine when questioned over the telephone today. "And, for a moment, I didn't know just what to do when he came to the house, but It didn t take Trub long to get him out. I thought he was go ing to tear all the man s clothes off. Wait a minute, honey, he said when he came out of the hedge, but Gertrude did not stop and he grabbed her," said the girl's mother. 'Don t you dare touch me,' she cried, and struck him with her book". The fellow was stunned and she Came running home. Knew Child Was Alone. -"We didn't want ahvthihe" said" -f this and did iot hear of the man again until Saturday. We had all gone to town, leaving" Gertrude alone. He came about 8 o'clock in the afternoon. The girl had heard a noise in the barn and went out to see what the matter was. When she came back toward tti house, she saw some one in the kitchen through a window,. She thought it was her brother who had come, out from town. Then she heard him mumbling that he couldn't get any water and he was trying to work the kitchen pump. 'You'll have to get. water in the yard,' she told him. Then the man came out onto the porch and she saw it was the same man who had attacked her before. 'I want something to eat. Get me some bread or something quick,' he said. You get out of here and be quick, yourself,' retorted Gertrude. 'Huh, who's here?' he said and sat down. That's none of your business,' she said and looked around for Trub. 'Oh, I saw all your folks goto town and I know you're alone. I'll stay here till I get ready to leave. I think m go in and read sometning wniie you fix me up a lunch.' Sic him. Trub,' my daughter yell ed to the dog" and then it happened. A sister of the hunted girl. Miss Bertha Allison, is principal of the schools at Wakarusa. The brother. whom she thought the unknown man was, works in the city during the day. The whole family is anxious over the state of affairs and are almost afraid to let Gertrude go to school. The school house is a mile and a half from the home and she has been accustom ed to walking the distance. The strange part of the succession of at tacks is that no one else seems to have the stranger in the neighborhood. It is apparent that he is in hiding but that he should remain in me same vi cinity for so long is perplexing. Sheriff Norton has been given a de scription of the man as follows: Height about five feet, ten inches; weight 185 pounds; wore a brown suit one leg torn or patcnea lr wearing same; soil brown hat with narrow brim. LOWER COURT ERRED. Certain Indictments -Against Heinze Should Have "Stood.: Washington, Dec- 5.

Augustus heinze charging misapplication of funds of the Mercantile National bank of New York. Further proceedings now must be had in the lower court. BOY SHOOTS BROTHER;? The following statement signed by David Bowie, president of the Y. M. C. A., has been received by the State Journal "A statement has been made by some person in the city, who without know ledge of the facts, left the impression in the minds otniany persons that Mr. J.. E.. Coulter, who was called from Port Huron. Mich., to act as executive secretary of the White Elephant cam paign, had received for his services $5,000. The executive committee, of Which I am chairman, have passed upon all expenditures and I am at lib erty to say that the exact amount paid Mr. Coulter for his three weeks' ser vices, railroad fare from Michigan and board while in the city was $218. "A criticism has come to the officials that the dormitory feature was not meeting a real need In the community, and was simply a .luxurious home for a lot of fellows who could afford to live elsewhere. The statement is unjust because the primary purpose of the dor mitory is to provide a source of in come to nreet current expenses. Mem bership fees are necessarily kept low and only bring in about 75 of receipts. Before the association entered a build ing of its own 4t was necessary to ask the citizens for three to four thousand dollars each year for the operating ex penses. In looking at the association work as a whole in this city a careful investigation will show that the asso ciation' is reaching in an efficient man ner all classes of men and boys, through the city, railroad, three colleges and colored associations. There are over 3,500 members in all these associations, and besides a very large number of men are influenced -indirectly by the asso ciation activities. The membership of all the associations includes many young men and boys who have very moderate incomes, and could not af ford to pay more than a nominal fee. No respectable young man has ever been refused membership in these as sociations. "It would be safe to say that the majority of the memberB receive sal aries ranging from $40 to $75 per month arid in the case of students there "would be no income at all. Free memberships are often given by friends of the association to those who cannot afford to pay the fee. "The policy of the Topeka associa tions is accord with the policy of the associations of the country at large and is the fruit of 60 years experience of the study of the problems of young men.

PLACE FOR BUFFALOES. acFiince 9 "North Siders Offer Them Home at j. Garfield Park. Now that the- city of Topeka has ob tained the valuable herd of seven buf falo there is a question that will come before the city commissioners in the morning that will be embarrass ing to some of them the question of where to keep the herd this winter. This morning a delegation of North Topeka citizens representing the Civic club came before the city commission ers and made many promises if the commissioners would give them the buffalo for the winter. They said they would build a high wire fence, place barb wire on the top, erect sheds and furnish feed for the animals. Another delegation of South siders was present. The city commissioners decided that the decision would be made tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. At this time both sides will be heard and the buffalo sent to the best place.

If it were not for endangering the lives of fellow prisoners, he would, he. has said, command the walls to crumble. A Jury found him guilty of" separat ing William Klee, a shoemaker,, from 11,200. Klee, at the time, was firm in the belief that he was Reuben, first born of Israel. His money was used in the most part for j team of horses to cultivate a sandy island in the Mis souri river near Atchison when the "elect"' should go to refuge there at the millennium, and for a motor boat to haul these "elect" across. After his arrest, when Klee abandoned the pro ject and swore to the complaint. Is rael returned the unspent money and gave over the horses and motor boat. Dennis doubts the Justice of the ver dict and the court's instructions. "I want nothing but Justice," said Dennis, "some men want more but I am satisfied to get a fair trial."

"And now I have set my hand, again, the second time, to deliver the remnant of my people from the hand of. the Gentiles and to gather them in upon this, their land of promise. "And my servant, Israel Alfred J. Dennis, is the man whom I have cho sen to lead my people out of bond age.

Thou are-, even Pharaoh, him that was overthrown and perished in the Red Sea. And again thou wast upon the earth as Herod and, when my Son was born in Bethle hem, you sought to slay him by the slaughter of the babes of Bethlehem. But again thou was thwarted. "And even so now, again, shalt thou fail of thy design for I will preserve my servant. Israel, also from your pow er and he shall be permitted to finish the work I have given him to do. Therefore, be admonished. Oh, Judge, that these are the words of God and not the words of a man, although they be written by my servant, Israel. "And now I say unto you: touch not mine anointed, the same is David Is rael, and do my prophets no harm. For I have reproved kings for their sakes. "And now I say unto, you, heed no more the words of your evil counsellor, the prosecuting attorney, the same ia Cain, the first born of Adam.- For he slew his brother Abel, and has been murderer from the beginning. And now he seeks the destruction of my church, but it shall not be for I will preserve my church, but to him shall be shame and everlasting contempt.

"Do your Christmas sho-boine early is the cry that comes from the stores, postomces, etc., but from what has been seen in a majority of the stores in Topeka, there is nothing along the holiday lines to buy. "We haven't our holiday wares out yet" is the answer tnat greets the average buyer. There has been complaint in the city that Commissioner Holman should have the new garbage wagons built by local wagon builders instead of send ing out of town for his equipment. Mr. Holman replies that the wagons are built under a patent and the factory is the only place to get them. The city engineering department made a brilliant record this month. They sold enough dirt to Topeka citi zens to pay the salaries of the men employed in the office. This is a new record in this office. Usually an en gineer's office is a "dead weight" as far as treasury returns are concerned. The annual meeting of the Shawnee Medical association will take place at the Throop hotel this evening where a banquet will be served. A program of speeches by prominent men has been arranged. Plates wilbe provided for 150 persons. Dr. M. C. Porter will pro bably be the next president of the or ganization. War has been declared between'the citizens of North Topeka and South Topeka over the keeping of the herd of buffalo. North siders make all sorts of promises and the South siders come right back at them. Which ever way the city commissioners choose tomor row, there will be a disappointed crowd of supporters. Roy L. Bone (Buffalo Bone), who is in Pontiac. Mich., capturing the herd of Topeka buffalo," has wired to the city commissioners of his progress. He says that the buffalo are out on a big prairie and that they will have to be captured and crated one at a time. He expects to get them loaded uo before the end of the week. "The Starry Heavens," 'Is the title of trie lecture which will be given- by Dr. William Duncan MacMillan of the Un iversity of Chicago, on Friday evening in the high school 'auditorium. This is the fifth and next to the last of the series of lectures on astronomy which are being delivered by Dr. MacMillan under the auspices of the Topeka teachers. The lectures have been well attended. City Electrical Inspector Stewart has issued a warning to the merchants who persist in having their windows decorated with electric lights, the work being done by their clerics. "The city ordinances say that no one but a licensed electrician shall do this work, said -Mr. Stewart this afternoon. "It ia against the city electrical rules to change the lights the way a number of the business men have done. This is the last warning I will give. After this I will turn over everything to Judge Lrmy of the police court BLIZZARD IX OKLAHOMA. Snow Storm Is General in This Region of the Country,, Guthrie. Ok.. Dec. 5.

Is New York, Dec. 5 Another distin guished foreign military authority is the guest of New York city today. He is General Ernst Von Reichenau, the German army's chief authority on artillery. He comes to Amerlca to wit ness some government tests at Sandy Hook as the representative-, that Ehr hardt company, manufacturers of guns and ammunition. This concern, which labors officially under the title of Rheinische Metallwaaren Und Mashin enfabrick Dusseldorf," is the chief German competitor of the Krupp fieneral Von Heichenau comes with war's alarm.- The United States is not prepared for war, he declares. .A large reserve army Is needed, for rich, na tions must fieht. Asked as to whether. in his opinion, America would have to fight Japan and whether she was pre pared for war, he said: "As to a war between America and Japan, I cannot speak, but I have an iriea. Is it not so? If I should speak It would get into the papers and at home make trouble for me. But I can say that America i3 not prepared for war. And that is bad." The. c-eneral continued: "General Wood was perfectly right in asking congress to give him money with which to keep a large reserve army of several hundred thousand at his beck and call., x wouia go muca further; I would urge universal con scription here, as we have in Germany. So vou will see It, first in jingiana, anu then in the United States, it is a necessity. The time for disarmament is not approaching. Will the time ever corns when men cease to eat? No. Well, a great many people think civili zation and peace are one and the same. Tt- is lust the opposite. The richer a nation becomes the more she must arm herself. A poor man doesn't need pro tection; it Is the rich man wao must defend his goods. So with the nations. War Is a natural function, a law of nntnr. We see it all around us in the struggle for existence, the struggle of life itself. "Where will it all end? Well, each nation must arm herself up to her ca pacity. If a man strikes me, I would not' hold one hand behind my back. No, I would fight with both hands and both feet. So will the nations always prepare to fight with all the power they have. They must. "It is necessary to prepare tor war in peace. You can't count on militia; you must have an army, so mustered and equipped that It can be mobilized on Ihe frontiers lit the shortest possible time.

Ths Kind Yea Hays Always 'Bought Ninety Years Old, But Bemem- fcers Bloody Scenes Vividly. Other Items of General Interest to Kansas Readers. Cleveland, O., Dec. 6. In a little shack in Put-in-Bay, Ohio, Jason Brown, the only living son of John Brown of Osawatomie, today recalled that Saturday was the 59th anniver sary of the hanging of his father at Harper's Ferry. Jason Brown is pass ing his last days in abject poverty. For the past few years since his re turn from California, where he lived for two decades, he made his home on a farm near Akron, Ohio. Two years ago, however, he moved to Put-in-Bay to live with the widow of his brother John. This brother lived on the is land for many years, and his body is buried there in the little cemetery. Jason himself expects to be buried be-, side him when his turn comes. In many respects Jason Brown has had the most remarkable career of Any of John Brown's children there were twenty of them. Jason was the eldest, and he has lived to see every one of them buried. Two were killed in Kan sas, three were shot at Harper's Ferry, and six others met violent deaths. Jason Brown was born near Hud son, Ohio, nearly ninety years ago. He spent his- early life on his father's farm. When 27 years old he moved to Kansas with his rather and several of his brothers and their families. Until the outbreak of the civil war he made his home in the west, spending his time farming and fighting. He was not with his father during the raid at Harper's Ferry, although he took part in the civil war and served with dis tinction through several campaigns. He was wounded several times, cap tured by the Confederates and had all sorts of exciting adventures. Tells of His Life. After the war was over he returned to Ohio and settled near Akron, where he lived uneventfully until he moved to California in the early 80s. For twenty years he made his home in the redwood district in southern Califor nia, returning to Ohio to live with his son when his health gave out. Although he is tairly vigorous tor a man nearly 90 years of age, he is fail ing rapidly, and the end may come at any time. "I wasn't in the massacre of osa watomie, but I took part in the battle there several months later," said the veteran recently. "That was the hard est fought battle in the several years of border warfare, and I fought in nearly every skirmish in the vicinity. "That was in the tail or 185B. ne continued. "The proslavery men had made life unbearable for us there. My father was assaulted several times and our crops were ruined. Finally, when one of my brothers was killed by the proslavery men, my father took down his gun, and with a email force of men led a midnight attack on the town of Osawatomie. That night he avenged the murder of my brother. I wanted to march with my father, but he re fused to let me go with his free sol diers." Just before he left home that day, he said: 'I'm afraid I may never come back home. I want you to look after things in case they kill me.' "My father came out safe, and he was only wounded once during all the fighting in Kansas. He was wounded severely at Harper's Ferry, -when he was captured, however. He was al ways in the thickest of the fighting, and his clothing was frequently shot full of holes, but I suppose he was needed to carry out a mission, and Providence spared his life until that mission was accomplished. Fought With His Father. "At the battle of Osawatomie, I fought beside him and was wounded in the arm. A dozen men were shot down beside him, but the bullets did not touch him. The failure of the pro slavery men to wing him made the superstitious ones believe he had a charmed life, and they were in terror of him all the time. It was Fate; that's the only way it can be explained. It has been said that we went to Kansas looking for trouble. That is not so. We were attracted there in the hope of making a better living than we could in Ohio. I had a farm near Akron, the but crops failed sev eral successive seasons and the pros pects in Kansas seemed much bright er. My father, of course, was inter ested in the slavery question long be fore we moved to Osawatomie. He had helped hundreds of negroes to reach Canada, and for a number of years was in charge of a colony of liberated slaves in New Tork state. He had no intention of causing any trou ble when he went to Kansas, and if the slavery people had let him alone he would never have led the attack on Osawatomie. There was bitter quarreling between the Northerners and Southerners long before we came there. He did what he thought was right, and I think every one believes that." that she was murdered by some party who supposed she had money hidden about the premises. Physicians who examined her body, however, are of the belief that she was kicked by a cow she had been milking and after entering her home fell down in a faint and bled to death. MEMORIAL FOR COL. HARRIS. Shaft Will Be FXxrted Upon Campus at K. S. A. C. Manhattan, Kan., Dec. 5. The Har ris monument is to be erected upon the campus of the Kansas State Agri cultural college. This was decided a few days ago In a meeting in Chicago of the commit tee having in charge the selecting of the site. The choice: was unanimous. It was agreed also to have a bust of heroic size upon a pedestal of granite or some Kansas stone, with a bronze plate bearing an inscription. The sculptor has not been selected, but it is hoped that the monument will be unveiled next summer. The desire to erect a monument for Colonel William A. Harris, once Unit ed States senator from Kansas, was voiced by many friends In every part of the state and in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and other live stock centers soon after his death, Decem ber 20, 1909. Colonel Harris was noted as a breeder of Shorthorn cattle, a fact that gave him wide acquaintanceship wherever breeders gather. This is shown in the membership of the com mittee finally selected by contributors to the monument fund. This commit tee was made up of Alvin Sanders of the American tariff board, owner of the Breeders Gazette of Chicago; B. O. Cowan, secretary of the American Shorthorn Breeders' association; Col onel J. F. True, of Topeka, proxy for Governor W. R. Stubbs; Senator H. W. Avery of .WInfleld, Kan.; John Thomas of Dover, Kan., and Henry Jackson Waters, president of the Kan sas State Agricultural college, this city. The contributors voted unanimously to have W. R. Nelson, owner of the Kansas City Star, on the committee, but Mr. Nelson was obliged to decline the place because of business engage ments. SAYS MEXICAN TROUBLE PAST. PLAN TO IITXT HORSE THIEVES. Frank S. Ijarahee of Stafford Returns From Trip to Toltec. Stafford, Kan., Dec. 6. "A feeble affair which failed utterly to come up to its press notices" was a character ization of the Mexican revolution made today bv Frank S. Larabee of Stafford, president of the Toltec Port land Cement company, which two months ago completed Mexico's first modern cement plant, a million dollar concern. "Thirty days will see the revolution completely exterminated." Mr. Lara bee paused a moment. "Exterminated is a significant word in Mexico. "The revolution was just an attempt of the 'outs' to get in without even a reform program. Failing to vote themselves into office, they attempted to shoot themselves in." Mr. Larabee is at the head of the Larabee chain of banks and mills in Kansas, eight banks being in the list. In Hutchinson, Kan., he built the only all-German mill in the United States. Returning frlom Mexico, Mr. Lara bee has brought back ancient pottery made by the Toltec Indians centuries age and dug up in the excavations for the new cement works. The new town of Toltec, which has grown up with the big cement plant, is 48 miles from Mexico City. NATURAL ICE TOO EXPENSIVE. Swift Business Near Atchison Torn Down and Abandoned. Atchison, Kan., Dec. 6. The work of teaming down the huge Ice house at Bean lake owned and operated by tho swift Packine company for many years has been finished. The house contained l.zau.uuu reei "i imiiuei, a.im this was sold to the farmers in the neighborhood at low prices, until now only 100,000 feet remain to be dis posed of. The Swift company abandoned the natural ice business because it found artificial ice cheaper. PAOLA W OMAN WAS BURNED. Mrs. Henry Dollar, f3 Years Old, Locked in Room. Paola, Kan., Dec. 5.

She was about 70 years old and is survived by her husband and Pot Tinllar who lives at VJUt? DUU, -v Wichita, Kan. The origin of the fire is unknown. DOUBLE KANSAS WHEAT AREA. Farmers in Western Part of State Make a Gamble. Oberlin, Kan., Dec. 5. Perhaps nev- a-w Kasmxi Vi o a noctrm TCnnfiilR been SO completely seeded to wheat as at this time. Men -who ordinarily sow. one hundred acres practically have doubled the acreage for this year, and this Is true in the same ratio ior inose who have in the past had large fields. Last year S. D. Berry had out three hundred acres. This year he has six imAvaA Taonpr MinpR last vear had about four hundred and this year has nine hundred. The crop last season was light, and from the experience of the past the farmers figure that next year, there never having been three short crops in succession, will be a bumper crop. The wheat appears good. That sown early is up, and much of it spreading well over the ground. Some, which was Signals Will Arouse Hutchinson at the Next Offense. Hutchinson, Kan., Dec. 5. The next time a horse and buggy is stolen from a hitchrack on the streets of Hutchin son, as three were stolen during last week, the city will be aroused. The Anti-Horse Thief association is arranging with the Water Light company to have a warning signal sounded on the big fire whistle, a signal which will be understood by all. Arrangements also are being made with the Bell Telephone company to have a general signal run over all of the telephones in the city and vicinity. MYSTERY SURROUNDEVG WOMAN Bears the .Signature of She May Have Been Slain by Her Neighbors. Smith Center, 'Kan., Dec. 5. Much mystery surrounds the death of Mrs. Charles Robinson, an aged woman, who was found dead at her home, eight miles east of here, Friday. Mrs. Robinson was a widow and lived alone on her farm. When found her body was lying inside the house, her head resting in a pool of blood that came from a badly fractured nose. She was last seen alive the Monday before her body was discovered. Near by neighbors became uneasy when she did not appear at her accustomed duties around her place1 and went to investigate. Many of them believe sown late, is not -up, but is in no dan ger, as it lies in a dust mulch and has not even sprouted. There have been reports sent out that much wheat has been injured and some of it dead. A careful inquiry among farmers from all Parts of the county develops that none of those questioned have or know of any wheat that is dead or seriously injured. TO ASK FOB LARGER CEXIiS. Warden Codding Would Donble Size of Kansas Prison Rooms. Salina, Kan., Dec. 6. ''One of the things I expect .to ask the legislature to do at the coming session is to double the size of the cell room of each pris oner in the Kansas penitentiary," said Warden J. K. Codding while here. "At present each prisoner has a cell four feet wide and seven feet long, and I believe that the state should tear out the partitions adjoining pairs of cells, so that including the wall space saved, each prisoner would have a room nine feet wide, seven feet deep and seven feet high. If the legislature makes the change the state prison cells will be the same size as the federal prison cells." Mr. Codding will ask the legislature for several other things to better con ditions, among them an increased ap propriation for food, and money to im prove the prison farm. He will ask that a prison for the criminal insane be erected at Lansing and that prison ers be given a bonus for extra work they do so that they may help provide for their families. CHARLES B. CRAWFORD DEAD. Architect, for Many Years, Lived in Salina, Kansas. Kansas City, Dec. 6. Charles B. Crawford. 60 years old, an architect and a brother of Dr. J. R. Crawford of Salina, Kansas, is dead at his home, 3613 Bell street, after a Bhort Illness. Mr. Crawford was born in Browns ville, Pa., but moved, in 1889, to Sa lina, Kansas, where many of the resi dences and business buildings are his work. He came to Kansas City a year ago and opened up an office at his house. Besides his brother, Mr. Crawford leaves a widow and two children, James O. Crawford, manager of the drapery department of William Volker company, and, Mrs. Robert A.- Wyatt of this city, also three sisters in Brownsville, Pa. KANSAN KILLED EST WISCONSIN. Shot by Village Marshal of Pewaukee at a Bar. Waukesha, Wis., Dec. 5 Paul Lehr of Kansas was shot and almost instantly killed by Hugh Stroud, vil lage marshal of Pewaukee, in the bar room at the Edgemoor hotel, Pewau kee, Saturday afternoon. Lehr and a companion, William Reis, had started trouble in the hotel several times in the day and Stroud had been called twice previously to quell the disturb ance and the third time attempted to place the mem under arrest. Trouble followed and when Lehr and Reis started for him Stroud pulled his revolver and demanded that they throw up their hands. The refused to comply and Stroud fired, killing Lehr. Reis fled from the hotel and made his escape. Stroud fired in self defense and it is expected that he will be ex onerated by the coroner's jury HESSIAN FIAf NOW IS FEARED. Many Kansas Wheat Fields Are Said to Be Infested. Atchison, Kan., Dec. 5. Atchison farmers fear the- ravages of the Hes sian fly next spring, as several who have made close examination of their fields insist that they are infested" with countless millions of the fly eggs. Hessian flies have not damaged wheat to any extent in this part of the state for nine years, but the dry weather this fall has given the insects an unusual opportunity to get In their work. It is not believed, however, that the drouth itself has been particularly harmful to the wheat in other re spects. DOES CURE BAD COLDS. Also Ends All Misery From the Grippe in Just a Few Hoars. CONTINUES TO WORK WONDERS IN TOPEKA T But This Week Will Be the Last of Demonstrations. It is absurd to doubt the great merits of Root Juice as proofs of its wonder ful health-promoting merits can be found in scores of homes here in To peka and vicinity. It has undoubtedly proved to be the world's greatest heal ing tonic to the stomach, bowels, blad der, liver and kidneys. No weak, sick ly man or woman can afford to wait another day without getting some of the great medicine, as a few doses i:sually create marked improvement, and from the experience of many local people the soothing, healing and strengthening action of the remedy is so rapid that it is absolutely wonder ful. Dozens of people have so reported at the Arnold drug store, 623 Kansas avenue, within the last few days. The demonstrations will positively close at this point next Saturday night and un til the close of the demonstrations the Juice will be sold for one dollar a bot tle, or three bottles for two dollars and a. half. There is not one grain of quinine in Pape's Cold Compound, which, when taken every two hours, until three con secutive doses 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 mis erable 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 rheumatio 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 ef fective 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 nn wlthnt I bad after-effects as a 25 cent package or .rape's uoia uompouna, wmctt any druggist in the world can supply.
