Jackson Investigation Debate Brings Out Personalities. Battle Is Not Held Within Par ty Lines. THEY WANT TO KNOW. Members Seek Information About Joint Collections. Tote to Ad op' the Resolution Overwhelming. The minority members of the house won a battle Friday afternoon when they forced the passage of the Orr res olution to investigate the collection of tees under the prohibitory law by the attorney general's office during the past four years. The resolution introduced by the members from Atchison calls for a most thorough Investigation of this matter of fees collected under the reign of Fred S. Jackson by a committee of five members each from the house and the senate appointed by the members f the respective houses. Representative James Orr of Atchison, YVho lied the light for the Investi gation of Attorney General Jackson. The administration leaders in the house sought to substitute the Barrier resolution for the Orr document and lost their point on a roll call vote 80 to 34. The Barrier resolution called for a general investigation of all the public departments, and was prompted by the governor's message in reply to The sen ate resolution respecting his contingent fund. The house minority, however, knew full well that there was no profit to be gained from "monkeying" with the gubernatorial buzz saw, and turned their exclusive attention to the attor ney general's office and the fee system of the prohibitory law. The administration campaign was badly conducted at Friday afternoon's session. The leaders would better have urged the adoption of both resolutions. Then the governor's contingent fund investigation could have been had and the minority investigators would have seen the ghosts of misspent efforts come to show them how foolish they had been. It is a well known fact that the governor has spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of his own money while traveling on state business. After the defeat of the BarrW sub stitute in the house Friday afternoon the Orr resolution was passed unani mously. It only remains for the senate to pass a similar resolution and for both houses to appoint their committees and then the investigation will begin. What will come of it is hard to predict. The political opponents of ex-Attorney General Jackson claim that his office has collected from J50.000 to $100,000 in fees in enforcement of the prohibitory law the past four years, while his po litical fiiend3 claim that he has col lected only about $9,000 in such manner. The debate in the house over the two resolutions was right off the bat and the pitchers were putting plenty of English on the ball. That debate was acrimonious. Orr supported his resolu tion in a speech in which he made sen sational charges In regard to what he called "The prostitution' 'of the office to the business of collecting fees. Wat son of Allen and Mercer of Chase and Matson of Sedgwick all went after the gentleman from Atchison in a most personal fashion. Orr returned the at tack with usury. The prohibition ques tion was brought bodily into the debate and made a part thereof. DonCarlos of Douglas accused Kelley of Shawnee, another Democratic orator, who was supporting the Orr resolution, of being a member of the Merchants and Man ufacturers' National association and ad ded further that he had been support ed in the campaign by that organiza tion. Kelley was not hard to find when this accusation was made. He denied both charges emphatically. The Democratic speakers called the Barrier resolution an attempt to white wash the attorney general's office and added a lot of other unkind things for trimmings and spangles to go with the garment. But it remained for Cassin of Craw ford county to make the oration of the afternoon. Cassin Is a little man with a bald head and is past the prime of life; he has the appearance of a mild mannered gentleman who would dodge trouble if he could. But it is not so. His appearance is deceD tive. He entered the debate like a man wno loves lighting for its own sake and hunted up the center of the trouble zone at once. He called on the gods to witness that his county had been preyed upon by the law violators on the one nana and the law enforce ment element on the other and he did not know which had made the most out of it. He told about men lean of curse wno naa become fat and urns. perous while upholding the prohibi tory law in his part of the state. He declared that the law was enforced from a strictly commercial stand point in nis Damwick. The fact is Cassin emptied the sack before he sat down and he had such an earnest and simple style about him that the gave him a liberal hand when he sat down. The following is the roll call vote on the motion to substitute the Barrier resolution for that by Orr of Atchison: Yeas Barrier, Burtis, Case. Cones, Dally, jjavis oi uiiaa, uavis or Sedg wick.

Brown of Kingman, Carney of Cloud and McCormick of Crawford all took active part in the debate of the Orr resolution. The house has made the debate on the bulk sales law a special order for next Wednesday afternoon. Don Carlos of Douglas has a bill In the house to brace up the mutual in surance companies of Kansas. For one thing, it removes the technicalities that now operat against the little mu- tuals that have grown to large propor tions. In a technical sense some of their operations are now illegal, and the Douglas member would remove these obstacles. Over 150 millions of dollars in property is represented In the mutuals of Kansas. The Inevitable headlight bill has bobbed up in this legislature, this one introduced by Feder of Barton in the house. Ever since Washington crossed the Delaware patriots and suns of patriots have appeared in state leg islatures with measures relating to the headlights on locomotive engines. Feder wants 15,000 candle power. Be fore Feder's ancestors crossed the Alle ghenies some son of liberty had a bill in a state legislature to make Stephen son put a certain brand of headlight on his first engine. There seems to be something constitutionally wrong with the illuminating apparatus of an engine. And there is always some good man and true elected to the leg islature every biennial period, thank God, who makes it his whole duty to see to it that that engine complies with the pure food and weights and measures and curfew laws. Cones of Meade, author of the patella bill, ought to take a crack at the headlights of engines. Thorpe of Kearney has received the following petition from the business men of Lakln protesting against the anti-Sunday baseball bill: In pursuance to the effort being made by the churches of Kansas to have passed a law prohibiting the playing of baseball, football and other harmless pastimes on Sunday, and our belief in keeping the rights of the church separate and distinct from the rights of the state, we, the undersign ed residents of Kearney county do hereby petition you, our representative to Use your influence nnH nnwor tn defeat this bill should it be brought up before the house or representatives. inere are over fifty names on the petition, and Mr. Thorpe says that the best men in Lakin hn.vn rIthaH tii.ir names thereto. The following is the full text of the Orr resolution passed by the house Friday afternoon: Whereas, prior to the last primary election and to the general election, held in this state, statement were made, both in the public press and by public speakers, that more than one nunarea thousand dollars had been collected by the attorney general and his assistants in this state from alleged violations of the prohibitory law dur ing the tnen preceding four years, which large sum of money had not been turned over to the state or ac counted for in any way, and which statements, if true, show a scandal ous condition of public affairs which should be the subject of searching- in quiry by the legislature; now, there- iore. Be It resolved by the house of rep resentatives of the state of Kansas, the Senate concurring. That a com mittee of five from the house and a committee of five members from the senate be appointed by the respective houses to investigate the conduct of the affairs of the office of the attor ney general during the past four years. respecting the fees and emoluments received by that officer and his as sistants In the state of Kansas: also. that inquiry be made as to the amount received by the office of the attorney general as a contingent fund, and the manner of distribution of the same. That such committee have full power to hear testimony, either during the session of the legislature or after its adjournment sine die, to compel the attendance of witnesses and enforce the production of books, papers, docu ments and records, and to punish for contempt for failure to obey Its man dates ana orders, and shall have such other authority as Is usually conferred upon such committees. It shall be the duty of such Joint committee to report fully to the house and senate the amount of all moneys collected by the attorney general or his assistants, or the county attorneys of the state of Kansas, for the past few years In the enforcement or attempted enforce ment of what is known as the "pro hibitory law," and state accurately the source from which such collections were made, and the manner and pro portion of the distribution of the same, whether the amount so collected was the result of a civil or criminal action, or paid without suit or complaint to any officer of this state or of any county in the state of Kansas.

May Be Ousted for Drunkenness or Gambling. BREWSTER BILL IS OUT Reported Fayorably by the Sen ate Committee- Makes It Easy to Get Rid of Derelict Officials. Senator S. M. Brewster's ouster bill was reported favorably by the senate committee of the whole late Friday af ternoon and will probably pass the up per house without serious amendment. It was one of the first Important meas ures disposed of in the senate. In the course of the afternoon's session, Ave bills were reported for passage. The Brewster bill which provides for the ousting of any public official who shall willfully misconduct himself while in office who shall become intoxicated.gam ble or neglect the duties of his office, escaped serious amendments, although for a half hour it looked as though the senate would provide for habitual in toxication instead of the Individual Il lustrated drunk as provided by the or iginal act. Under the terms of the bill ouster proceedings may be brought by either the county attorney or attorney general. Only members of the supreme bench, district judges and legislators are ex empt from the penalty of the act. The bill of the Troy member provides that an official cited for misconduct, must be given a hearing in the courts at the earliest possible date. It provides for appeals to the supreme court with in 60 days from the date of the decis ion from the lower court; and provides that the court may name a successor in the office while the case is pending. Even the supreme court, under this act. will be compelled to give precedence to ouster hearings; and the higher court may sustain or reverse the decision of a lower court, but cannot remand the case for rehearing. The bill further provides that no per son shall be excused from testifying be fore the attorney general, his assist ants, the county attorney, or any court cf proper jurisdiction on the ground that his testimony may incriminate hlra; but no person shall be prosecuted on ac count of any transaction or thing con cerning which he may be compelled to testify, nor shall such testimony be used against him for any crime or misde meanor under the laws of this state. It is generally conceded that the Brew ster bill is one of the strongest meas ures ever offered as a law in Kansas. It governs the conduct of public offi cials from township road overseer to governor, but provides for a hearing at the earliest date. Three bills offered by Senator Stew art of Sedgwick county were reported for passage by the committee of the whole. The first measure by Stewart pro vides a penalty for any person who shall throw paper, trash, hay or rift rnfT in anv street or alley of any city of the first, second or third class. Tri original bill provides a penalty only in cities of the first class, but was amend ed to cover the towns in the short grass districts. Senator Carey also urged the striking out of the word "riffraff" as he said it might be con strued in his district to mean legisla tive members. The bill provides a fine of from Jo to $100 for each viola tion. Another Stewart measure fixes an Inspection tax of 25 cents a ton on all manufactured food stuffs including cottonseed meal, cottonseed cake and like products. Inspection stamps, un der the terms of the bill, must be pur chased from the director of the state experiment station and shall be affixed to all articles named In the bill, which are offered for sale in Kansas. The third bill amends the present statute governing the building of sidewalks in cities oi me nrst ciass. of Salina was recommended for pas sage by the committee. It amends the nraont lav Ernverninar the aoDOintment and duties of county assessors. The bill provides tnat at me time oi mo appointment by the county assessor of deputy assessors he shall also appoint in each assessment district outside of cities, two taxpayers, not of the same political raitn, wno, wnn me uepmy assessor, shall constitute a board of review. txt njr ntann lAnntor from fi-reelev county, presided at the Friday after noon "session of the senate committee of the whole.

Senator Clad Hamilton Friday af ternoon introduced a bill calling for an appropriation to compensate Henry Graber for injuries received wnne in discharxe of his duties at the Boys' 'Industrial school. Young Graber was operating a defective planing mill at the Industrial school, when Injured. Senator Cambern has introduced a bill providing punishment, either by fine or jail sentence for the person who makes false statements to obtain credit from any concern with which he has been or may contemplate tran sacting business. f HOUSE TMfUSE.

REPUBLICAN DEFECTION. They Are Inclined to Vote for Demo crats In Colorado. Denver, Jan. 21. In spite of the ef forts of the Republican leaders to pre vent defection in the forthcoming struggle for the United States senator ship before the Colorado general as sembly, it seems probable that Re publican votes will go to Democrats should the balloting indicate the elec tion of former Governor Alva Adams. State Senator Barela, Republican, of Las Animas county hap onenlv de clared he would vote for Mayor R. W. Speer of Denver rather than see former Governor Adams elected and added that other Republicans also preferred Mayor Speer. No arrangement for a Democrat caucus has yet been made and at present such action seems rather doubtful. As the situation now stands a dead lock seems almost inevitable. MAY JOIN FEDERATION.

DOES NOT REALIZE. Has Impression That the Court May Be Lenient. Thinks He Might Leare Prison in a Year or S. Hutchinson, Kan., Jan. 21. In his cell In the second story of the county Jail Blaine Monroe, the self confessed murderer of Frank Speer, related again the circumstances in connection with the crime. The young murderer apparently does not realize what he has done. In fact he is clinging to the Blaine Monroe, Who Has Confessed to the Speer Murder. hope that the court will give him a much lighter sentence than a life term in the penitentiary. He even remark ed that it might be possible for him to gain liberty at the end of a year or two. "I think God will pardon a man who confesses his sins, don't you?" he ask ed. "I know that I have been back slider In religion, but at one time I was a member of the Methodist church. "If I have to go to the penitentiary," he continued, "I will endeavor to be a model prisoner. A man can gain some time by doing what is right, can't he?" Regarding the commission of the crime Monroe makes no effort to say that he is not guilty. "Why I did such a thing I can not say. Speer was my friend and I had no feeling against him," he said. "I do not know but I think I must have been out of my mind when I murdered him." Despite his ghastly crime, Monroe seems to be of the opinion that he will be looked upon as a man of good character at the penitentiary. He re marked that he never had been in truble before and that he thought this would be In his favor. He said he had gotten in debt through having had to support his sister alter her hus bnd had separated from her. This was why I got discouraged and why I wanted money," was his ex planation. "I couldn't find work and, while my sister had not been depend ent upon me recently, I still owed a lot and found money hard to get hold of." Monroe's Tale of Killing. The confession of Monroe reads as follows: "I was slow in making up my mind to kill Frank Speer. I was broke and down and out and needed money. I wrote to Englewood and other places around to get a position, but could not. I went to Dr. Barr's Fri day night; I got poisop at Dr. Barr's Saturday night; I think it was strych nine. I carried it way in capsules. Sunday I went to Frank Price's and got some candy and put the poison in part or it and put tno poisoned candy in another sack I intended to poison a dog with it. I never intended to do anything but get money, if I had to kill him. "I had my gun with me all the time, the .32 I had at Turon. It is a Har rington and Richard's gir six inch barrel. I don't Just remember, but I thing I started from Barr's around 4 o'clock. Went west from Barr's a ouarter of a mile and crossed over toward Speer's house. The tracks you found were my tracks, l got over tne fence and crossed toward his house. I was at the house a half hour or so, heard the clock strike 5. I sat near the stove and talked with him. never asked him for money. I was sitting on a chair, Frank was talking about the boys nunting raDoits on nis dace. Said he didn't want to make the boys any trouble and so on. He irot a law book and read the law on hunting. I said. fLeave me see the book.' and stepped over to my coat and rot the candy, arid put the candy on the table. He took the candy and ate one piece. He said: 'Gosh, you must have put some quinine m tnat.' l said No. nothing wrong with it that know of." I didn't intend to put the nolson in for him, but was scared when I saw that he had got a piece of the ooisoned candy. He took the lamp out and filled it and came back into the house and kept spitting several times. He said: "By gosh, this is the Wtterest stuff I ever tasted in my life, what the devil did you put in that?' I said: "Nothing that I know of.' was guilty then. When he walked he did not" have the use of himself. He arot nervous ana looked out the win dow. I said: 'Frank, you had better lav down, but he wouldn t lay down He got out doors and I led him back in the house. He said: 'Gosh, if I get worse, I will have to call Doc He sat down in a chair beside the stove. I was standing beside the chair with my foot on it and my hand on the back. Telephone Scared Monroe. "He spoke of calling Doc and start ed toward the phone. Then he says, 'You go to the phone and cali Le rado.' I could not get Lerado and he 'said, 'call Langdon.' I got Langdon and they answered, but I would not answer for fear they would recog nize my voice. I said: 'I can't get them Frank." I went back from the phone. He was sitting in front of the stove. I stepped back and said, 'I can't get them, Frank,' He says, 'Gosh, I will try it,' and so he stepped to the phone and I pulled out my revolver and shot him. I didn't want to see him in so much misery. I tried to shoot again, but the gun would not work. I was standing several feet back of him when I shot. I don't know anything about what became of the bullet. He dropped backwards. I thought he would have some money and searched him and took his pocketbook, which I threw away later. I looked in the pocketbook and it had fifty cents in it which I took. His watch key was In the pocketbook. I grabbed my coats and put them on and my cap and ran out and thought I shut the door. I aimed to, anyway. "I started on right out past the chicken house, crawled under the gate and went southwest through the hedge again. I got the scratch on my face when I went by the hedge near Flukes. He never spoke after he was shot. I did not stay very long after I shot him, about five minutes, long enough to search him and go. Then I went to Turon I went out through the hedge the last time and took to the road. Saw somebody at the corner in a buggy and thought they was coming and then I struck off in an angling direc tion. I don't exactly know the time I got to Turon, didn't look at the clock. I got my supper at my father's and monkeyed around the house a while. Went back and put the gun in my trunk. I loaded it going home and threw the shell away that I had fired. Suppose I dropped the cartridge, which was found under Speer"s body. I'm guilty of this. I have been disgrac ed all my life and was most drove to it. BLAINE MONROE." PHIL TROUTFETTER DEAD Former Colby Editor a Victim of Tuberculosis. N. H.

Everyone Is entitled to enter the contest. 2. Each person may suggest three names. 8. In case names are duplicated, the one presented or postmarked earliest will be considered. 4. The contest will close February l and all names submitted must be in on or before that date. 6.' There should be a line drawn here a the Judges are not bound by the re maining rules and suggestions. 6. Ladles are especially encouraged to compete. Many players do their best only under angel eyes. '7. No entry fee is charged In this contest as this is regarded as free ad vertising. 8. The clergy and auctioneers are re spectfully solicited for some high sound ing names. 9. Naturalization is not necessary though it is desired that first papers be taken out as this is the American na tional game. 10. Persons at present detained in city or county Jails who will have finished their terms before five games have been played on the home grounds are eligi ble to compete. 11. Only inmates of insane asylums are barred the privilege of becoming In terested in the Topeka movement and submitting the names. 12. A showing of good reason why paroles should be granted before the opening of the season may be regarded as working toward an exception of the preceding rule. 13. Names by any office boy possessed of less than seven grandmothers and who otherwise could not attend the games will be passed to the discard 14. Any goody clean paper will be sat isfactory for your thesis on the subject but legible handwriting is imperative. 15.

Suggestion for names may be ac companied by tips on live players who can be bought for a song and who will play for their board. 18. A good ball player is rather to be desired than a good name. But a good club name conceals individual weak nesses. 19. A fair reputation covers a rnultl- tude of muffs. But if you don't know the meaning of "meat hand" your name Is not likely to be accepted. 20.

Des Moines fans womo De minea If a baseball writer of recognized ability were to predict that Des Moines would again finish fifth or sixth but the players themselves would be cleased. secretly at least. The samel is true of players of most other teams. And there are good reasons." The above was the reply of George Davis, manager of the Des Moines club last year and who will probably lead Hierein's team in 1911, wnen ne was asked to write what he thought of the strength of the Des Moines club for next season and where he thought they would finish. The Des Moines club was picKea to finish away up last season, and when tv. v. .ha SSf'kbSf.f2L,5:.bS? ?nS early part of the season, the unjust criticism from the fans seriously af fected their playing during the re mainder of the race. I The snort writer who shoots too high generally seeks an alibi for him self at the expense of the players. He doesn't admit he- is in error. tie usually says this or-that player made a bone-head play which cost the game. A srood season for the club general ly means more money for the player next season, especially for the pitcher, and with this incentive to work for, besides the "Big Show" staring them in the face, naturally the players do their best to win. The disappointment of the manage ment over a season such as .last year is as e-reat as that of the baseball writers and the fans and possibly a little greater. HE WITJj FIGHT BUT HE WOX'T. Jack Johnson, Actor, Denies That He Will Meet Jjangford. Chicago, Jan. 21. At the home of Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, it is stated that the negro has been matched to meet Al Kaufman in Lon don on a certain date in April in a twenty round bout. It Is understood the bout will take place before Hugh Mcintosh's club, where Sam Langford and Bill Lang will battle in a twenty round go next month. Aside from the fact that Johnson and Kaufman have been matched nothing else could be earned from the family. Johnson is now in Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Jan. 21. "I do not intend to fight for six months and will enter tain no challenges until after that time," said Champion Jack Johnson when shown a telegram from Chicago announcing he was to meet Al Kauf man in London next April. Johnson, who is here with a theatrical outfit, continued: I quit the show business here in Pittsburg. From here I go to Chicago for a visit with my mother. Then I am going to San Francisco where I will stay two months. At the end of that time I will probably start around the world." ML ARTHUR LOOKING FOR FIGHT Black Champion Offering 2 to 1 He Can Whip Kaufman. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 21. Jack John son, heavyweight pugilist, last night offered $10,000 to $5,000 that he can knockout either Al Kaufman or Geo. Cotton. In the case of Cotton, the champion is willing to fight the mo ment the contest is arranged and guar antees to win in less than ten rounds for forfeit $10,000. As to a fight with Kaufman, Johnson was aot spec ific, except to state he would want four weeks in which to prepare him self. The matter seemed to worry John son. He visited the Gazette-Times of fice tonight, made out the $10,000 check payable to the newspaper and left disappointed when the newspaper refused to hold the money. He insisted he would place the check with some reputable person before leaving the city. Earlier in the day Johnson made a statement that ho had no intention of entering the ring for six months. Johnson's offer to meet Al Kaufman dissipates a Chicago rumor that the men had already been matched to fight 20 rounds in London in April.

His work with Lincoln, it ne succeeds In earning a position on the team, will be watched with much Interest by Denver neople.

Now Mrs. Be Graw Becomes In firmary Inmate. Matrimonial Tragedy Follows Registration by Agency.''; Otttawa,Kan.,Jan. 21- The final chap ter to one .of the real tragedies in, mat rimony began last night, when Mrs. Carrie DeGraw, 65 years old, of Will iamsburg, was placed in the county in firmary where she will end her days. Her story is the story of an attractive widow, with .money and property, and a designing adventurer, with lots of nerve and little principle. Mrs. DeGraw Is still attractive, but broken in health and spirits; she pre sents a much different appearance from the woman whom Daniel DeGraw married June 2, 1909. She was brought to Ottawa yesterday and last night spent her first night as a charge of the county. Strenuously she fought against this last move, but without avail. Living alone In a little tumble down hut in Williamsburg, she was compelled either to take up her resi dence on the county farm or live in poverty and wretchedness, with no oth er food or clothing except what has been given her. When Mrs. DeGraw registered her name In the files of a matrimonial agency, she took the first step toward misfortune. Her name then was Mrs. Carrie Slusher. Her deceased hus- hsnd find lot'- V c- B crwir fi,rm rtf KO acres, well Improved, five miles south west of Williamsburg on the county (line. She mentioned the farm in her advertisement, and it quickly caught the eye of Daniel DeGraw, a man ten years her Junior. A correpondence was begun and then the two met. And when they met they arranged for the marriage. But DeGraw was not looking for a wife, he was looking for property. So a few minutes before the ceremony was performed, Mrs. Slusher, without a thought of the consequences of the act. gave her prospective husband, a deed to her little farm, all she had in the world. On September 22, 1909, an other deed was filed in the register's office. This told of the sale of the lit tle farm to Clarence A. Lewis, for the sum of $1,300. Close on its heels came the report that DeGraw had left his wife, and from that day nothing has been heard from him. He left about $90 with a neighbor for his wife, but aside from that he took all that she ever had. Mrs. DeGraw still trusts her miss ing husband, and just a few days ago told one of her neighbors -upon whom she had called for aid, that she be lieved he would yet return to her. QUAPAUS HEAR CALL OF WILD. Hundred Fall Blooded Indians May Decide to Go to Mexico. Columbus, Kan., Jan. 21. The call of the wild is sounding in the hearts of a hundred full blood Quapau Indians just south of Baxter Springs. Although every member of the tribe has two hundred acres of smooth prairie land in his allotment near Baxter, and al though the allurements of the white man s civilization are numerous around them, the Quapaus are dick ering for the purchase of a tract or wild land in Old Mexico. The land in Old Mexico is located between two big rivers and abounds in game. In the center of It is a moun tain range which makes a strong ap peal to some members of the tribe. Fishing and hunting and the possibil ity of buying the Mexican tract at about $2 an acre are elements of the attractiveness of a tribal move away from the present location near Baxter.

Gray County Folk Have Fears It Will Be AH Taken. Cimarron, Kan.. Jan. 21. Fearful that all the water of the Eureka irri gation ditch will be gobbled up by Ford county people, a movement has been launched here to get water rights from the ditch company for this vi cinity. As is now proposed the ditch would carry water straight through Gray county to be put in use in Ford coun ty. One Ford county farmer, Joseph Minor, has bought up water rights for 325 acres of land, paying $13,000 cash for the right Mr. Minor has lived on the Arkan sas river bottom for many years and has made a special study of Irrigation and of the underflow. He figures that the pump at the head of the ditch will constantly grow more efficient, as the underflow water will constantly wash out the finer sand, leaving the coarser- gravel, which will facilitate the flow. FARMERS TRYING ALFALFA NOW Development Has Proven Surprise In Rush County. McCracken. Kan., Jan. 21.

Superintendent A. J. Shaw in speak ing of this said: "We are considering the construction of the west line to run to Conway and from there south to Inman. When "we are at Conway we are only a short distance, from Wln- dom. Again Inman is only about half a dozen miles from Buhler, a" nice sized town across the line in Reno county. Of course., these are only suggested plans and may not material ize, but I think they are a good basis, to work on." 5ARDEN CITY GETS STATION.

Permits Compare v Favorably With Records Elsewhere. Immigration Committee Brings Kansas Settlers, This is the dull season among the realty men, but they, are.' not grum bling as' they could not expect itb trans act a record breaking amount of busi ness in midwinter. The land men, on the other- hand are inclined to look 'upon things in an exceedingly san guine manner.: The plans for .increased activity In railroad circles in Topeka are consid ered an indication that much property I will change hands in the next year.. "The announcement that the work of construction on the new Santa Fe of- j flee building will continue until the i tnirteenth story will have been com pleted was especially gratifying," said W. A. Neiswanger of the firm of Wilson Neiswanger. "If there is no hitch in the plans, it will result in bringing 500 more em ployees to work in the offices instead of the force of 200 additional men which the ten story building would ac commodate, and this will mean much to Topeka. "I was interested In seeing a state ment in a Boston paper the other day made by a Santa Fe official, to the etiect that the desire to concentrate the force in Topeka is due to the non existence of the saloon in this city and the other vices which usually accom pany this institution, and the fact that as a conseauence. better service is rendered by the employees." Plan New Homes. Now is the time that prospective home builders begin to make plans for spring and summer building, and it is apparent that there will be no let up in the building activities of the city, at least In respect to the erection or dwellings. I N. B. Burge and Company, who by the way, now have a suit of four at-' tractive rooms in the New England building, state that thev know of at least 27 homes which will be built m Blmhurst alone in thp next few months. These dwellings will represent an aggregate cost of at least $75,000. A half dozen of the number will be built in the west or new section of the ad dition. This week Dr. A. A.' Sharp purchased eight lots on the east side of Garfield avenue in Elmhurst for the considera tion of $2,400. He will build Im mediately four dwellings on the prop erty. Much paving will- be done In this addition In the eomlng year, and ac cording to, Mr. Barge the mayor and commissioners have promised the building of the big sewer which will start at Seventeenth atreeC- running College Place addition, the west por tion of Elmhurst, Lowman Hill, Mel rose, and on to the river. Topeka Up In the Race. It has been stated in Topeka a number of times by persons who are inclined to look upon things In a pessimistic manner that Topeka is not holding her own In respect to building activities as compared to other cities of the same size., N.- B. Burge in order to' prove "that the assertions are erroneous, wrote to a number of cities for facts concerning the amount of building permits Issued In the last year. The figures received show that Topeka Is keeping her place In the- race. In the past year San Diego, Cal., has been boomed, and this accounts for the fine showing of that city, and in the Texas cities Of Fort Worth and Dallas, there Is a special reason for an increase in building. The Topeka figure ii not the result of a boom campaign, but of good sub stantial and perfectly natural' growth and development. In -1909 the record for Topeka did not fall short of reach ing the two million dollar mark. An Interesting Comparison. Here is the comparison of the per mits' issued in several cities in 1910: Topeka $1,580,000 Pueblo, CoL 536,000 Davenport, Iowa. 1,586079 Sioux Cuy, Iowa.- 1,110,57 Dallas. Texas. (10 months) 8,612,237 Fort Worth, (9 months). 2,351,270 Little Rock, Ark. 1,380,548 San Diego, Cal. 3,858,940 Committee in Action. The immigration committee of the1 Commercial Club will undertake to further the work which has already been started. A report of R. D. Blaine, chairman of this committee on the work accomplished in the last year shows that a good beginning has been effected towards making this feature of the commercial organization most effective. "The concerted efforts of the com mittee and the local newspapers," reads the report, "have created great interest in small tracts of land in the suburbs and in the vicinity of Topeka. It Is generally known that many small tracts have been purchased and that a demand has been created for such property. Interested Young Men. "Our European campaign of a year ago was productive of results. We have now in Topeka a number of new citizens of excellent character who came direct from Scotland and Eng land. The committee has interested thirteen responsible Immigration .firms which are directing their high class of immigrants to this city. There has been inquiry from interested per sons from various parts of this country in regard to, the good things Topeka has to offer. "The committee has been handi capped for want of funds to carry on a systematic advertising campaign. The extension of good roads through out Shawnee county should be en couraged. This would tend towards the cutting up of farms into small tracts and more intensive farming. "In conclusion, I hope the legisla ture will become advised concerning the requirements of an immigration bureau for this great state, making a liberal appropriation to be wisely used to encourage immigration this way." price Property Is Sold. The property belonging to Mrs. L. Price at 824 Lane street, and consist ing of a ten room house was sold by the McNamee Real Estate company to G. C. Smith, of Thomas county, for $6,500.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1911. "IT IS jUOKE." That's What Jackson Says About Orr Resolution. Also Claims It's First Gun of Saloonist in Campaign. WANT A WET STATE. Uses This Investigation as an Opening Wedge. Details of How He Drove Liquor Sellers From State. Former Attorney General F. S. Jackson, congressman-elect from the Fourth Kansas district, today made the following statement In reply to the charges preferred against him In the Orr resolution of investigation of his Joint fees that passed the house Fri day: "The first gun of the saloonist, the jointist, the bootlegger and the wet element in their campaign to make dry Kansas wet, to defeat the work of law enforcement accomplished In the last few years and to turn the state back again into lawlessness, has been accomplished, in the Orr resolu tion, passed by the house directed Ugainst the attorney general's office and adequate fees for prosecuting officers. The jointist knows full well that it was the injunction system, trials before the court without Jury, and fees for the officer paid by the guilty jointist in stead of the taxpayer that broke up tils business and enforced the law. He would like to restore the system of trial by wet Juries, by overworked and poorly paid officers paid by the tax payers, who soon tire of expense. He could then better carry on his trade of violating the law. "The resolution comes, as might eb expected, from rebellious Atchison and her last wet mayor, J. W. Orr, who, as such mayor, coddled the saloons into existence, licensed and protected them while in office, defended them as lawyer when attacked by the state and who apparently still represents them and does their bidding in the legisla ture. Investigation a Joke. "Not that the socalled Investigation Is anything but a joke, so far as re flecting upon the conduct of the attor ney general's office, or myself or the work of my assistant, special assistant, and the splendid body of men who have represented the state as county attorneys in the last four years, is con cerned, but for the taxpayers and law abiding people of the state it will be far from a joke, if ten well paid leg islators are kept on the pay roll for two or four years investigating a rec ord that-is an open book and can be fully revealed in two hours' time. "it (s clear that the movers of this resolution did not wish real honest in vestigation or they would have ac cepted the proposition of Governor Stubbs for an investigation of all the departments of state including the at torney general's office, looking to more economical government, but this would not haive pleased the saloonist, or carried out the apparent contract with them to cripple law enforcement. "It is, of course, not necessary for the attorney general to receive fees in addition to his salary for prosecuting cases personally, but It is generally known and admitted that the salary Is ridiculously low' for the service re quired even where he Is not compelled to perform the additional duties im posed by law on the county officials. Let me repeat here what I have stated many times before, what Is shown by the open court records, and what Mr. Orr and every other man who sup ported this resolution knows to be true, that I have received about $1,500 per annum and no more from fees in addition to the salary of the office. Nine-tenth of all of the work done for law enforcement could have been avoided by myself and my office force and it has been performed absolutely without compensation or hope of pay of any k'nd. Not a penny has been received by anyone connected with the attorney general's office, not legally earned or allowed in open court. Extra Expense Necessary. "But how about the county attorney in the border or other populous coun ties of the state where the regular criminal work is all that he has time to attend to without contingent funds to assist him in collecting evidence and without adequate deputy hire? The public is face to face with the propo sition if it would enforce the prohib itory law as to whether the taxpayer must pay the expense of additional prosecutors or the guilty jointist and lawbreaker be compelled to pay them under the fee system. "Take the case of Mr. Orr for ex ample: In his six years mayorship of Atchison, he built up a system of li censed saloons, according to his own statement in the house yesterday. twenty in number. He did this by a system of fines amounting to a license to these saloons which was in violation of the law, in violation of his oath as an official and as a practicing attorney. It was no wonder that these men, licensed through Mr. Orr's official con duct, bought property and entrenched themselves in lawless defiance of the state and city authorities. The coun ty attorney and sheriff, one a Republi can and the other a Democrat, were honest men, but what could they do against this system of lawlessness? Mr. Orr quiPtly slipped out of office. declining to be a candidate because in Tils craven heart he feared removal from office and prosecution for his previous acts. Then the state took a hand and Judge Hudson, one of the Strong Healthy Women If e woman is strong and healthy in a womanly way, moth erhood mean to her but little suffering. The trouble lies in the fact that the many women auffer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism and are unfitted for motherhood. This can be remedied. Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Cures tke weaknesses and disorders of women. It acts directly on the deUcate and important organs oeacemed in motherhood, making them healthy, strong, rigorous, virile and elastic "Favorite Prescription" banishes the indispositions of the period of expectancy and makes baby's advent easy and almost painless. It quickens and vitalizes the feminine organs, and insnrea a healthy and robust baby. Thousands of women hay testified to its marvelous merits. It Makes Weak Women Strong. It Makes Sick Women Well. Honest druggists do not offer substitutes, and urge them upon you as "just as good." Accept no secret nostrum in place of this mon-sfcrrt remedy.

Those Special Assistants. "When I became attorney general similar conditions existed in fifteen or twenty of the counties of the state.! we met the situation by appointing the most reputable lawyers as assistants we were able to obtain, regardless of politics., I took no Interest in these special assistants or in the fees which have been allowed to them by the courts They are essentially county officers and I have no authority over them as a rule, except to remove them when they failed to do their duty. I know nothing except in a general way what fees they receive, but understand that the most efficient of them have received very poor pay for the work they have done. "The only place in the state where there has been any complaint about the amount of fees or the too frequent paroling of prisoners has been in a county where I appointed a Democrat my assistant on the recommendation hv written resolution of the county Democratic committee. This request was made because the committee claimed they had promised the people the law would be enforced. I do not criticise this official. Mr. Dunbar of Cherokee county. I am satisfied he did the best that could be done under the conditions and left the county in the best condition as to law enforce ment it has ever been in. Wliat It Cost the Brewers. "In driving the brewers from the state we took possession of a half mil lion dollars worth of property. Costs and charges amounting to more than $30,000 were assessed against the brewing companies and neither this office nor, any one connected with it received a cent for this vast amount of work. "The fees I have received have come from Atchison and Leavenworth coun ties, where through Mr. Shukers'I have had direct charge of the prose cutions, except the few minor eases where we have been called to assist in special cases in the counties of the state. Yet the Orr resolution assumes that we have received all of the fees allowed whether paid or not. and whether allowed to the county attor ney, special assistant, or the attorneys of the State Temperance union who have been constantly at work assist ing county attorneys in various coun ties. How the Work Was Done. "In my first term of office, this de partment handled thirteen cases in the supreme court of the United States, two cases in the United States court of appeals, had a part in handling twenty-nine cases in the circuit court of the United States for the District of Kansas, where the state was a party, tried more than two hundred cases on appeal in the supreme court of Kan sas, tried ninety ouster cases and oth er original actions in the supreme court against unfaithful officers, and in addition to this work, tried over three hundred criminal, injunction and civil cases for the purpose of en forcing the prohibitory law in the dis trict courts of the state. In these cases we were met by the best legal talent which could be employed by the per sons and corporations charged with offending against the law. These men were paid for their work sums rang ing from $10,000 to $25,000 a year. We handled the work with two as sistants in this office, one receiving $1,600, the other $1,800 per annum, and I myself, taking into considera tion all of the fees I have received have not realized more than $4,000 per annum out of the office. Without the fee system, it would have been im possible to have procured the money necessary to have prosecuted these cases. The prosecuting officer must be paid In this way, or else the proper compensation taxed against the coun ty or the state. Fund of $10,000 Needed. "It will require a contingent fund in the hands of the governor or attor ney general of $100,000 per annum to do this work. Oklahoma and Maine are struggling' under a bitter exper ience resulting from a fat contingent fund and special prosecutors in the hands of the governor or a law en forcing commission. "Every effort which has been made heretofore in this state in the rebellious counties to enforce the law has resulted in bankruptcy to the community land a failure to enforce the law. 'Tiger Bill' Campbell's campaign In Sedgwick coun ty, it is estimated, cost the county from $40,000 to $50,000 and resulted in lit tle good. 'Prince Hal' Sallowell, once United States district attorney of Kan sas, one of the noblest lawyers the state has ever had, died In near pov erty with Sedgwick county owing him $50,000 to $60,000 uncollected fees for li quor prosecutions and the law was un enforced, because the method of col lecting these fees and the costs of pros ecution against the property owners and the Jointist had not yet come Into use. It is for the taxpayer and tem perance people of the state to Bay whether they wish the convicted joint ist to pay the bill of his own prosecu tion, or to pay it out of their own pock ets. Men like Mr. Orr think it should be paid by the taxpayers. I think it should be paid by the men who violate the law. No Apology to Slake. "I have no apology to make for the manner In which the duties of the office of attorney general have been perform ed during the four years' service I have rendered to the people of Kansas. I know of no policy pursued by me In that time that would be changed had I the power to do so. I have given the best service of which I was capable and have no regrets, except that I had not the ability to accomplish more. If the people of the state do not resent this effort to destroy the effects of what has been accomplished, then It 1s use less to endeavor to give faithful ser vice in the' enforcement of the law in the state." Curious as it may seem, it is impos sible to hold a session of legislature without a '-youngest member.": No ses sion would be worth a whoop without him. He is one of the necessities, for the simple reason that it would be im possible, in this fair state, to discover and elect 165 men who were born at exactly the same minute. Therefore, the fact that the 1911 session haa a "junior member" is nothing remark able. In days past. It was customary to re fer to the youngest member as the kid of the house. But right here is where we shall break a time honored precedent. We have been burdened with "kids of the house" in the past. and some one invariably got their oats. As a class, they haven t amount ed to much and for that reason we shall refer to Mr. W. Karl Miller, of Dodge City, as the "Junior member," and not as the "kid of the house." The reason is that this young man appears to be an improvement upon former youngest members. He cornea from the itora county district, which heretofore has been recresented bv men of mature years. It was from Ford that Ed Mad ison came to the Kansas legislature. Ditto. Mike Sutton; ditto. Chalk Bee- son; also Mr. Imel; and just look who they are. Probably no county in the state has furnished the Kansas legis lature with a k greater number of live ones. Lei us nope mat iora county "The Junior Member." has not broken that time-honored pre cedent. Mr. Miller is not only the Junior mem ber, but a handsome specimen of the Kansas product. He says he is a "pro gressive Republican." which means that he votes with the Stubbs crowd. Out side of that he is all right. Business in the house end of the 1911 session, promises to be exceptionally good. The sheep and goats have been so closely divided, that a sheep dar"sn't go out after a drink of water while the house is in session. The splitup of yesterday over the investigating com mittee appointment, will insure a good attendance, and there will be no "stall ing" In the last rounds of the contest.' When the motion to let Stubbs name one member of the investigating com mittee and cut the.committee down to three members was submitted, it flash ed across the Democrats and stand patters that such a proposition would be Too Easy. Right readily did they absorb the, idea that under such ar rangement Stubbs could name one member, the house majority name an other of his choosing, and leave the senate member of the trio out on a limb. But the best laid plans gang aft the spout up, already. Another example of misdirected effort nrii. nnti eta lilo In thn Rfmntp at flVinilt the same time. It was framed to dump the senate rules committee m the ash can while the owners were not look ing. What the owners of this commit tee did under the circumstances, might look to an outsider like cruelty to the President of the Senate. But it was not. Hon. Hopkins was not to blame for his little faux pas. and the senate knows it. There is not a member of the senate who holds any ill feeling toward Hon. Hopkins, and they regret the necessity of making him the angora in the case. The senate likes Hon. Hop kins. Left to his own devices, he is a fair presiding officer. But the Powers entertain the mistaken idea that Hon. Hopkins is Too Young to get along withoul Spiritual Guidance. This is in deed sad, but is also true. It has been remarked that, up to date, the petitions against Sunday base ball are more numerous than the peti tions in' its favor; true, but easily ex plained. The Professional Reformer has more time than anything else, and therefore leisure for circulating peti tions, while those who are against any such drastic legislation, are. as a rule, employed at something beside minding other people's business. NORTON TO RETIRE. President Taft Must Find Another Private Secretary. Washington, Jan21. The fact that Charles D. Norton, secretary to the president, will retire from that position in the near future and return to pri vate business in Chicago, has been dis closed in connection with the proposal to increase the salary of the 'position from $6,000 to $10,000 a year. It was said in the subcommittee of the senate committee on finance that while Mr. Norton strongly urged the increase in connection with the reorganization of the White House staff, he declared he would not himself get the benefit of the increase. Conlon "to Fight in England. Memphis. Tenn.. Jan. 21. Johnny Con Ion, claimant to the bantamweight championship, through his father and manager, has accepted a tentative of fer to make his first appearance in Eng- land against an Australian bantam to be named by Premier Mcintosh. The guarantee In expenses and percentage of purse was cabled yesterday to Cou-lon. BUSINESS IS BETTER. Improved Financial Condition Is a J Feature of Situation. New York. Jan. 21. R. G. Diyi'a review says:. Improvement in financial conditions has been a marked development in the last few days and to some extent has been accompanied by a more active trade distribution, although the indus trial contraction of the last half year is still in evidence. This improvement also is "reflected in more "encouraging aspects of the Iron and steel market. .While pro duction is still only half capacity and there is no decided change in condi tions, yet there is new export business of note and increased buying by the railroads. Copper is slightly weaker because stooks are heavy, notwith standing the big world consumption. Many large dry goods buyers have been in the primary markets but their operations are still along conservative lines. A considerable export trade has been done with the far east in the last seven weeks. Men's wear and dress goods mills are gathering business .for fall, yet complaints of very close prices are general. Fpotwear conditions show a sub stantial improvement. There is a more confident feeling all around and the prospects for a Bteady normal busi ness from now on are encouraging. Some improvement is shown in the leather market, with an Increase in sales this week and a slightly firmer tone to prices. Bank Clearings. Bradstreet's bank clearing report for the week ending January 19 shows an aggre gate of $3,316,211,000 as against $3,507,552,000 last week and $4,024,876,000 in the corre sponding week last year.

Book f lobbyists Is Having Many Accessions. The "Lobbv Book" in the secretary of state's office is losing its terrors for the legislative agent. Having discov ered that the "lob" book is a help, rather than a hindrance to their busi ness, those who desire to assist or in terfere in legislation uDon certain sub jects, boldly subscribe their names and intentions. Today, George W. Crane, the veteran nrinter and miblisher. signed the "lob" book, and under the column marked "subject," wrote the following an nouncement: "To defeat a bill which appropriates $50,000 for enlarging the state printing plant to establish a monopoly In the furnishing of blank books, blanks, etc., to counties, townships, and school dis trlct!. thus destroying the business of Crane Co., which has been in opera tion in that line in Kansas for 43 years. Earl Evans, Wichita attorney, came in and registered. His purpose, as a legislative agent, according to his "lob book" declaration, was: "To pass a bill giving wholesale drug gists the right to sell alcohol only, (not beverage liquors) to retail druggists only." 'Wichita has two wholesale drug houses." said Mr. Evans, "and I am representing them in this matter. My intentions are not to make any holes in the prohibitory law, but druggists must have alcohol for the preparation of tinctures and essences, and there is no good reason why they should have to purchase from wholesalers outside the state."

WHEAT Steadiness at Liverpool gave renewed confidence to day to bull traders in wheat, notwithstand ing weakness at Minneapolis. The de pressing situation in the flour trade, par ticularly the shutting down of milla, caused considerable selling but the effect was only temporary. Light Argentine shipments to the United Kingdom and good European demand for Australian cargoes formed the basis for the com parative strength reported by cables. Opening prices here were a shade to c higher. May started at $1.00 to $1.00, a rise of ViSc, reacted to $1.001.00 and rallied to $1.00. Canadian reciprocity talk and reported closing of the mills at Mineapolis caused a drop. There was a quick rally on de nials of shutdowns but the close was ex tremely weak with May at 9899c, a net loss of lglc. CORN Corn was governed by wheat. Trade was extremely small. May opened a shade to c up at 60e to 60c, re ceded to 50c and recovered to 60c. Lightness of country sales held the mar ket fairly steady. The close was at-49 50c for May, a net loss of 14c OATS Oats were even more dull than corn and merely reflected the changes In the larger grain pits.

Pre-Xuptial Document Fijrures In Di vorce Suit Ajjainst Actor. New York, Jan. 21. Justice Gof in the supreme court has named J. Campbell Thompson, a lawyer, referee to take testimony in tbe suit for di vorce brought by Edna Goodrich Goodwin, the actress, against Nat C. Goodwin. The suit promises to be productive of interesting developments, not the least among which will be the bringing out of the story of an alleged Jl, 700, 000 pre-nuptial trust deed by which Goodwin turned a biff share of his wealth into a trust fund, the reve nue of which, it is provided, should be equally divided between the pair dur ing their lives and the principal to go to the survivor on the death of either. Hermann L. Itoth, counsel for Mrs. Goodwin, said that the property em bracer! in the trust deed included real estate in California, a big amount of government bonds, many New York state and city bonds and a lot of equal ly valuable staple and other securi ties. The San Francisco real estate was the $250,000 Lafayette apartment house, for which the actor paid cash: other San Francisco residences and business property and a number of orange groves. Several choice pieces of Los Angeles realty also flsured in the list. Mr. Koth declared that the agreement by which all this was converted into a trust fund for the benefit of Miss Goodrich was drawn ur and signed while Goodwin still was the husband of his third wife, Maxine Elliott. "It is an ironclad document." con tinued Mr. Rcth. "and it will be im possible for Goodwin to break it. It is not a pre-nuptial agreement as such pgreements usually are considered, for Mr Goodwin, being then the husband of Miss Elliott, was not in a position to make a pre-nuptial agreement with Miss Goodrich. The transfer of the property was a gift, pure and simple." The lawyer incidentally declared that the actor had plenty of other re sources aside from the sum tied up in the trust fund. Mrs Goodwin Is in New York await ing the trial, but her attorneys would not disclose her address. NEW MEXICO IS VOTING. Adaption of the Constitution Is Meet ing With Opposition. Albuquerque, N. M., Jan. 21. Elec tions for the ratification of the con stitution for the proposed state of New Mexico are being held through out the territory today. Indications are that a heavy vote will be polled. The constitution was framed by a convention overwhelmingly Republi can and that party is united in its sup port. The Democracy is divided, one wing of the party supporting the con stitution while the other is opposing it. The most bitter opposition comes from the temperance people who made an unsuccessful attempt to have a pro hibition clause incorporated in the constitution. Leaders of the anti-saloon league assert that they will never permit New Mexico to enter the union otherwise than as a prohibition state. Mrs. Kmcrsou Accepts Service. Baltimore, Jan. 21. Mrs. Emilie As kew Emerson last night accepted ser vice in the divorce proceedings brought by her husband. Captain Isaac E. Em erson, the millionaire drug manufac turer, whose bill of complaint, it is al leged, names C. Hazeltine Bassber, a leading Baltimore business and club man as corespondent. The documents are still being withheld from public in spection. HAS NO SUBSTITUTE -nmw- Absolutely Pure Tha only taking powdar mad from Royal Crapa Cream of Tartar fill OFSS NEWLYWEDS ARE LIKED.

That "the baby" gets everything out of the first act is conceded but that it is left to Don, the comedian, to "get next" with the audience in the sec ond act is apparent. Don is said to be one of the cleverest comedians that have worked in Daly's stock in New York, where he has been an actor for years. Some say that Don is the best German comedian in America. As the j bucolic waiter in the "Newlyweds" it is conceded he has a showing of strength, j Assisting are William Clifton and i Emsy Alton in the respective roles of j Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed. Both are j made up to approach as closely as the couple who have provided amuse ment for newspaper readers since the George McManus cartoons became a feature of newspaper comic sections. Montle Arbo plays the part of Dolly and is entrusted with the song hit of the piece "The Boogie Boo Man." Her singing and dancing are specially pleasing. TWO FUNERAL SERVICES.

The Name Given to Popular Supersti tions by Dean Mathews. Chicago. Jen. 21. If you have "religious appendicitis," the only cure for it is surgery, according to Dean Shailer Mathews, of the University of Chicago Divinity school. Here are the symptoms of the new, or newly discovered disease, as described by Professor Mathews in the January num ber of the American Journal of Theology, under the title "The Evolution of Re ligion: Knocking on wood three times after you have congratulated yourself. Uefusing to be one of a party of thir teen at a table. Throwing rice .t a wedding. Regarding a mascot as a desirble ad junct to a baseball team. "All those simple minded practicjs which presumably intelligently religious people practice are the survivals of some ancient religious customs of our far away ancestors," Dean Mathews says. "In fact, a superstition may fairly be aeseribed nr. a vestige of some element of religious experience which has come r.vcv trom a stage in which it was essen tial to a religion. One might almost say that to be superstitious Is to suffer re ligions appendicitis. There Is no cure for it but surgery." The Court Endeavers to Expedite the Schenk Trial. Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 2L The de fense In the trial of Mrs. Laura Farns worth Schenk Friday afternoon intro duced testimony to show that her hus band. John O. Schenk, whom she is charged with poisoning, had been ill long before the time the state alleges she administered poison to him. In sup port, the lawyers for Mrs. Schenk put on the stand Charles B. Hughes, a rail road man, and Dr. A. B. Best, the Schenk family physician. The session was enlivened by tilts be tween the attorneys. The defense sought to put on the stand Dr. Robert E. Sleppy, of Pittsburg, to impeach the testimony of Miss Eleanor Zoeckler, or "Mrs. Klein," the detective-nurse. i Attorney Boyce said he wished to show that she was addicted to the use of morphine. The state objected and was sustained. I The defense then put Charles B. Hughes, a. railroad man, on the stand. Hughes testified that long before Mr. j Schenk's trip to Europe he had told I him of suffering from nausea, vomit- ing and abdominal pains, the same i symptoms the physicians had testified Schenk had been suffering from when they attributed the cause to poisoning. Dr. Best testified he had treated Schenk for tonsilitia in September, j I 1909, and also had attended him on oth er occasions. The doctor answering the hypothetical question for the state, was of the opinion that symptoms de scribed were those of lead and arsenic j poisoning. I Dr. J. J. Osborn, the first witness for the defense, was under the fire of cross examination. His testimony was chiefly.; regarding his experience in lead and ar- j t ciuu y uizuuiii aim t-1 1 ijiusclului suc ceeded in bringing out the fact that the symptoms, as told by the physicians who attended Mr. Schenk in the early part of his last Illness, indicated lead and arsenic poisoning. Scenes between the attorneys mark ed the night session. The defense In troduced witnesses to impeach Dr. J. W. Myers, who testified Mrs. Schenk had procured sugar of lead from him and who also said he refused to sell her Fowler's solution of arsenic when she applied. The state's attorney protest ed against several questions and this brought on lively tilts. The defense has decided to place Mrs. Schenk on the stand. "AUNT ISABELLE" DEAD. Lawrence Centenarian Worked for Senator Jim Lane. Lawrence, Kan., Jan. 21. For a score of years "Aunt Isabelle" Whit akef, Lawrence's one centenarian has been the connecting link between the few remaining old families in Law rence and those aristocratic days fol lowing the war, which were so rich In caste even in far away Kansas. For "Aunt Isabelle" was a freed slave and had worked in the families of Senator Jim Lane, Dr. Alonzo Fuller, and oth er aristocratic pioneers whose names are so intimately interwoven with the early history of "Bleeding Kansas." "Aunt Isabelle" died last night in the tiny home at 109 Locust which she has owned for years, and which she steadfastly refused to relinguish and go to the county farm. For more than a century for "Aunt Isabelle" was very, very old, just now oia sne ner- self did not know the old negro wo man never forgot for a moment that she had been a house maid in one of the finest colonial homes in Kentucky, and that for a house servant of the old south to go to the poor house would be an eternal disgrace. "Would you like to go free?" a plainly garbed, whiskered individual queried one day in the early 50's of "Aunt Isabelle" as she stood in the sunny back yard of Dr. Twyman in a Missouri town. The woman, then nearly fifty years old and homesick for the blue grass hills of Kentucky, from whence she had recently been brought by Dr. Twyman, responded that she would. A few whispered pass words were cau tiously exchanged, a tiny paper show ing the route to follow, and a week later "Aunt Isabelle" was being con veyed to Kansas under the protection of a squad of John Brown's men. FIVE ARE BURNED. Mother, Three Children and a Maid Servant. Toronto. Ont., Jan. 21. Five persons were burned to death early this morning in a fire which destroyed the home of Percy C.

Judge Garver Pleads for Laws Having Such an Object. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 21. The Kansas-Missouri division of the Society for the Friendless opened Its eleventh an nual meeting in Kansas City, Kan., last night. Judge T. F. Garver, of Topeka, was the principal speaker. He said that the laws should be so framed as to prevent crime by surrounding tho3e inclined to crime with better environ ment. He favored a change in the law so only the worst criminals would be confined in penitentiaries. "No one is made better by being shut up in a steel cage.'", he said. "The laws are made to fit the crime and not the criminal. If those who leave prison are to return to the surroundings from which they came to the prison they will return to crime. The way to lessen crime is to take steps to prevent it. just as the physician now seeks to lessen disease by taking steps to prevent it." Among the other speakers were J. L. Dawson of St. Louis. PLAN IS TURNED DOWN. There Will Be No Joint State Encamp, ment at St. Joe. Washington, Jan. 21. The war de partment does not view with favor the prospect for a joint encampment of the national guards of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma and possibly of Iowa in September next at Lake Con trary near St. Joseph. It is believed that no material benefit would be de rived so far as field instruction is con cerned by assembling in one camp the militia of several states. There would be no commander of the whole force, 'it is argued, and conse quently it would be impracticable to have systematic and co-ordinated in-cti-iirtions Tfurthermore the transpor tation charges would be unnecessarily large and the full time of the troops could not be spent in legitimate mili tary work. It is not thought proper either that such encampments should I b ld j conjunction with any other i "Jl1""1 Lliit?iI A-, nn. ntrnrtKi Therefore It is now an nounced that the department cannot sanction, or co-operate in any way in such encampment, or tournaments. CALLED TO CHICAGO. Rev. M." Rowena Morse Will Give Up Pastorate at Kenosha. Chicago, Jan. 21. The Rev. M. Row ena Morse, for the last four months pastor of the Henry M. Simmons Me morial church in Kenosha, Wis., has ac cepted a call to the pastorate of Third Unitarian society in Chicago. Dr. Morse was the first woman ad mitted as a candidate for the doctor's degree at the University of Jena, In Germany. She applied for the degree at the University of Berlin, which she attended a. year, but the university would not grant the degree to a wo man. Then she went to the University of Leipsic and received the same answer. Next she appeared in person- before the governors of the University of Jena and demanded for women the right to earn the highest degree conferred. The gov ernors of the university finally yielded. She is an ardent su)orter of woman's suffrage. Pension for Cannon's Kin. New Orleans, Jan. 21. Relatives of Leroy Cannon, the Pittsburg man who with Leonard G. Groce of Galveston, Tex., was executed by order of President Zelaya will receive a large pension from the Niearaguan government, according to Colonel Paul Mason of New York, who arrived here last night from Nicaragua.

In order to save the lives of their babies two Tank ton Indian women caught in a storm on the prairie near Roseland, Tripp county, this state, stripped off their blankets and wrapped the little ones in them arid then crooned them to sleep while they them selves were frozen to death. The women, with their husbands, had been visiting on Bow Creek and were driving across the country from a church when the wagon broke down. The men went to town for help. When they re-; turned with a rescue party one of the w tw, uchu j i urn ins coia, ine otner died in a few minutes. Both Indian babies were unharmed. PRICE TREND UPWARD. Paradoxical Conditions Prevailed the Stock Market. in New Tork, Jan. 2L Paradoxical condi tions prevailed in the stock market the greater part of the week in that the trend of prices was upward, while the under tone was often irregular. Trading was of moderate proportions, save in bonds, for which inquiry was again broad, with the biggest total of operations in many months but demand for stocks was no less professional than in the preceding weeks of the year. Some soeculative Issues made high records for the present movement and activity at higher levels was manifested by various specialties, including such public utilities as telephone and gas shares, but the mar ket as a whole lacked popular support. Apart from next "week's New York city bond issue, the success of which seems assured, and some new financing by rail roads and industrial corporations, there is little change is the financial situation. Money is now so abundant here and de mand so light that it no longer consti tutes a market factor. Conditions in steel and cooper trades are unaltered with indications of better ment ere long in the former Industry. Mercantile conditions are mixed, with im provement in some sections, and contin uance of dullness elsewhere. PANAMA FREIGHT INCREASED. Declared to Bo Jfecessary to Terminal Facilities. Extend "Washington, Jan. 21. A decided increase in the amount of through freight handled by the Panama railroad is reported by the canal commission. So great has the traffic between New Tork and San Fran cisco by this route become that the com mission declares it necessary to extend terminal facilities at both terminals of .he road.

Eastbound freight amounted to 12, W9 tons in November, 1909, while in No vember, 1910, it reached a total of 22,731 tons. Improved steamship service between the isthmus and San Francisco, and the Isthmus and New Tork is said to have caused the increased traffic. The Great Family Liniment ParlUieunatjam. Lnmh.go.

LUXFORTHE'DRYS' Candidate for Mayor Lines Up for Coming Campaign. Claims He Will Enforce the Pro hibitory Law. 'TAXES ARE TOO HIGH' Lux Would Lower Water Kates, Also Criticises Lights. He Would Bring Jobbing Houses, Etc., to Topeka. Despite the fact that the candidates for mayor in the coming city campaign nave aitemptea to Drusn aside the "wet" and "dry" features of their nlat- forms and are making an effort to con duct their campaign on a neutral basis, the anti-prohibition "bug-bear" stands as dangerous as ever before the voters of Topeka and the mayoralty ambi tious are taking, a stand on the ques tion. Samuel E. Lux, one of the three candidates for mayor, opened the wet and dry campaign this- aft ernoon by issuing a statement to the effect that he was a "dry" candidate for mayor and would if elected carry out all of the principles of. a "dry" mayor. This leaves Mayor Billard to be sup ported by the "wet" crowd that sup ported him to victory last year and leaves J. W. F. Hughes "on the fence," where he stated that he would remain until the smoke of the battle .cleared away. In the statement of his policies to the State Journal this afternoon, Mr. Lux makes a number of startling statements in regard to the city gov ernment the most Important of which is the assertion that at this time the city is lighted, cleaned .and watered at a greater expense than necessary. air. Lux claims also that the city needs a better lighting system -and that there are many parts of the' city which should be lighted, but which are not at this time. Following up his policy. Candidate Lux says that To peka needs a better and more thor ough system of cleaning the streets and alleys than Is practiced by the present administrations of commis sioners. Leaving the city government to It self for the moment, Mr. Lux installs a new feature into the city political cam paign a feature that is a new one to Topeka. He says that he will work tor the growth of the city, that he will encourage the establishment of more jobbing houses and factories and the general upbuilding of the city. This Commercial club spirit is a new type of campaign politics and a type that will meet with popular approval by the energetic hustlers for Topeka's growtn. Following Is the complete platform adopted by Samuel E. Lux in his cam paign for mayor: To the Citizens of Topeka:. I am a candidate for the office of mayor of the city of Topeka. In order that there may be no mis understanding as to my policy if se lected for this important position. I take pleasure in stating to you defin itely and emphatically in detail where I stand on the most important ques tions entering into the duties of the office of mayor of our city. First I am unqualifiedly for a strict enforcement of the prohibitory law. The statutes of the state of Kansas now prohibit the sale of all intoxicat ing liquors by any and every person for any purpose and if I am elected mayor of the city of Topeka "and have the directing of the policy of the police department. I shall enforce this law as strictly and enthusiastically as any other law which tends toward the bet terment and upbuilding of our city as a whole. Second I am in favor of a careful. conservative and economical adminis tration of the city affairs; by that I mean the same business ability be used as is put into our own private affairs and If the Standard of the city can be maintained, the city kept clean, well lighted, etc.. on less money than is now being expended, I am in favor of the reduction in taxes and believe that this can be done. I am also of the opinion that our city water rates are too high and if possible should be re duced. Third I am for a better lighting sys tem throughout every part of our city. There are many parts of the city' which need lights, and further along this line, I am for a Great White Way in our business section. This great white way will benefit every citizen in Tope ka. It would make the city more at tractive and Its advertising value could not be estimated. I am unqualifiedly for a more thorough system of cleaning our streets and alleys. Fourth I am for the extension of the street railway. I am unqualifiedly for the extension of our water mains to the outlying districts, and also for the extension of the sewer system. There are some sections of the city which are solidly built up and which are at the present time without fire protection and without sewers. Fifth I am unqualifiedly for and shall make every effort to encourage the establishment of more jobbing houses and the building of more factories. "La bor for the laborers and a full dinner pail," is my policy all the time. Sixth And finally I am for greater prosperity through a greater Topeka a cleaner Topeka. for what helps our city, helps you. helps me. SAM'L E. LUX. DRAFTS DRAINAGE MEASURE. Judge Park Would Have Two Kansas Citys Partners. Kansas City, Jan. 21. John B. Park city counselor, is preparing a bill which will be introduced in the Kansas legis lature probably the power to go into partnersnip with Kansas City. Mo., in the sewer and drainage business.

Brigadier General Says He Is Glad to Go Back to Islands. Kansas City, Jan. 21. "I-always am glad to do my duty and I believe It has come now for me to serve again in the Philippine islands," Brigadier General Frederick Funston said .last night at the Union depot before his train for San Leandro, Cal.. had ar rived. "The United States government had a happy habit .of changing the men who serve in the Philippines of ten enough so that with ordinary health they can endure the warm ell- mate. I have seen only thirteen. years, of active service and I feel that I can well serve another term in the islands. In fact, I am just a little anxious to see the islands again. I saw some, pretty active service there and I have been away nine years. "I reallv began my army career in the islands. I had been in the service only a few months when I was ordered over. It was at Calurr.pit that I crossed the Rio Grande on a bamboo raft and established the .rope ferry our soldiers used to cross' on. That was when I was younger, of course, and I doubt if I could do the same thing over again under the same circumstances. But one thing is cer tain, if I had the same thing to do over again tomorrow, 1 would De giaa to do it. That is the feeling one inherits in th a-mv. I have received the com mendation of many Americans and I always have appreciated it. It is con siderable satisfaction to me to feel that it was 'work well done. Tnere is notn ing personal in that Every army man believer the highest thing he can do is his duty. That's one reason why I believe that in the army lies the so lution of how best to bring up our boys. "There is a certain fascination m the tropical touches of the Philippines that makes one feel homesick when he is away." The climate, while a little severe on a weak person, is wholesome for a strong1 constitution.- I have known for about three months that I would be asked to serve in tne lsianas by February 1, but did not receive of ficial notice of it until a month ago. I have no objections to offer." Oeneral Funston will nave cnarge of the District of Luzon, one of the three divisions of the Philippines. He will leave for-the Philippines on Feb ruary 6. He will begin his duty at once. His wife and two children, who left Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for San Leandro, Cal., a week ago, will not join General Funston m the pninp- pine islands until tne comms oepicm- ber. COAL LAND BILL.

Particular attention was devoted by Mr. Wickersham to -the Cunningham claims, which figured so conspicuously in the Ballinger-Pinchot case. He took the position that if the courts de cided the Cunningham claimants were entitled to the coal claims tiled upon v.. .,Am anri tho onnrt-Q derided like wise in the cases of about 200 other claims, the lands involved snouitt De released to the claimants. In such, an event, said the attorney general, there would be need for the passage of such a bill. The subject will be given further consideration at another hearing in the near future.

Chair man Crumpacker of Pennsylvania, to gether with his associates, has been carefully digesting the statistical cal culations compiled by the census bu reau.'

The marriage of Mrs. Nettie Neibar ger and Wesley C. Tubbs in Kansas City, may end the chain of tragedy in the Neibarger family, but it opens to criticism the bill in the legislature seeking to make requisite a medical examination of applicants for licenses unless that provision could be .uni form throughout the states. Mrs. Neibarger is a parole from the Topeka Insane hospital sent there from the probate court of Shawnee county. Tuesday 'she cme to Judge Schoch for a marriage flcense, and it was refused. Wednesday she came with her father who pleaded for a li cense for her and Tubbs. Thursday she went to Kansas City, Mo., and was successful in being married. She says she ia cured. B .G. Neibarger, husband of the wo man, a boilermaker in the Santa Fe shops, committed uicide November 2, 1909, because he could not bear the strain of the thought that his wife, who was ill In a hospital would die. Four children under the age of 10 years were a responsibility he would not face. He crawled under his house and behind a foundation wall at his house at 154 Grattan street and took strychnine. His body was found the following day. The asylum parole was granted Mrs. Neibarger September 29. 1910. While she insists she is cured she has no cer tificate and the probate court docket shows only a parole. DEFENSE BEGINS. In the Trial for the Murder of Stan ley Ketehel. Marshfleld, Mo., Jan. 21.

Three divorces were the Saturday noon grist-of Judge A. W. Dana's court today. j-ella A. Hanson wa3 relieved of Henry A. Hanson upon a showing that while he works for the Santa Fe and earns $2.50 a day, he let her go with a 3-year-old girl to the Provident association to live. They had been married four years. Myrtle Long was given a decree from Byron Long and the custody of a 5-year-old girl. Mrs. Long told the judge that while her husband worked in Denver he spent all of his $32 a week at a gambling resort and gave her nothing. She told the court further that Long at the pres ent t'me was living with Blanche Shep herd in North Topeka and that while he has not given her one cent, she saw him go into a dry goods store with the other woman and pay $1 a yard for a dress for her and buy her a pair of shoes.

She was given custody of a 5-year-old girl. The husband, who now Is In Missouri, sent costs for the case. MAYOR SAYS CUT IT OFF Asks Gas Company to Limit Supply to Domestic I'sers. Mayor Billard has written the following letter to Manager Treleaven of the Gas company in reference to the attempts to supply the domestic demand for gas in severe cold weather: "During the severe cold weather which we experienced about the first part of the present year the natural gas supply was so short that there was a great deal of sniftering on account of the failure of the gas to furnish sufficient heat to the residences of the city. "I therefore request you that during the period of cold weather your company de vote its entire efforts to furnishing an ade quate supply of gas for domestic use and that you discontinue the sale of gas at special rates to all manufacturers and large consumers." Manager Treleaven. apparently In re sponse to the mayor's letter, has sent notice to all manufacturing concerns, which have been paying fifteen cents per thousand, that after January 30th, t.lve rate will be advanced to the domestic rate of twenty-five cents; presumably to fiiscourage the use of natural gas for any but domestic purposes.

Mrs. Schenk's Lawyers Have Changed Their Plans. Wheeling, Jan. 21. Just before court opened Prosecutor J. B. Handlan said in his opinion Mrs. Schenk would not be placed on the stand by the defense. He supported it by adding that the night of her arrest she promised to tell him all about the case but had failed to do it. When questioned concerning the al leged assertion of Prosecutor Handlan that Mrs. Schenk had made a confes sion to him, Attorney O'Brien denied it saying she always maintained her in nocence. Dr. S. L. Jepson. who examined Schenk in company with Dr. Hupp, the prosecution's star witness was then call ed to the stand. "From what you learned," asked J. J. P. O'Brien, "plus what Dr. Hupp told you did not you come to the con clusion that he was suffering from gas tric troubles and not arsenical poison ing?" "No. I could not say that. He had evidently some arsenic." On cross-examination he said Schenk was undoubtedly a big healthy man, before his alleged poisoning and had lost much weight since. He admitted all symptoms which he found indicated that Schenk was suffering from chron ic lead poisoning and also arsenical poisoning;. Mrs. 'Jane Hedges on direct exami nation said: "Albert Schenk told me that John had bought his wife a $6,000 automo bile and that he s-aid, 'I hope she breaks her neck the- first time she goes out in it. I will leave no stone unturned to get rid of that woman and another out of the family." On cross-examination, Mr. Handlan sought, to establish the fact that the witness was an enemy of Albert Schenk who headed a syndicate for the pur chase of a large tract of land and that suit had been brought against her. She would not admit this, however, and declared that she was on friendly terms with Albert. It was stated by the defense that it would probably rest its case at 5 o'clock today and that it would not resort to the insanity plea. The defense rested at 3:30 p. m. Weekly Bank Statement.

His eyes were bleared with salty tears, and he looked down at the floor to avoid my glance of inquiry. "I am a few minutes late." I said to the waiter. And then: "You have been crying. What troubles you?" Again he burst into tears, and, lean ing his head against the wall, sobbed as if his heart would break. "What on earth ails you?" I asked, rather sympathetically "Any of your relatives dead?" "No, no.-senor; not that," and the waiter boo-hooed again. "Then out with it, boy!" I exclaim ed, rather imperatively; "out with it!"

Julius Krutt schnitt, vice president in charge of the maintenance and operation of the Harriman lines when speaking of the orders his roads have recently placed with the Baldwin Locomotive works in Philadelphia, said it was for 190 loco motives, one of the largest single or ders ever given to locomotive manu facturers in this country. The cost of these locomotives will be between J3, 600,000 and J4. 000, 000. Mr. Krutt schnitt explained that the bulk of the locomotives would in normal course have been ordered last year, but owing to the unsatisfactory conditions then prevailing the order waa held over. These 190 locomotives represent the requirements of the Harriman lines for this and the next fiscal year. It is understood that concessions in prices have been obtained from the manufac turers, compared with the figures wnich naa Deen quoted some few months ago. This and the further fact that the Harriman lines require ments for new locomotives to replace the old ones withdrawn from service have been accumulating, are pointed to as the reasons for placing of the order at this time.

ONCE ESTABLISHED. Feel eed for Branch in First Ward. Plan to Rent Rooms Later Erect Building. David Bowie, of the Page Milling company, president of the' Topeka Y. M. C. A. association, favors re-establishing a branch Y. M. C. A. on the Korth siiie. "I believe that there is a need for a branch Y. M. C. A. on the North side." aid Mr. Bowie this afternoon. "In this May 'we could provide the benefits of the institution for many of the boys nd young men here who do not belong to the railroad branch and do not wish to go so far as the association head Quarters on the South side. In no sense would such a branch be In opposition to the work of the central headquarters, but rather in co-operation with it. The tendency of late years is to establish such branches as we find that most ef fective work can be dorie. It -will be only a question of time that the mem bership in the central branch will be as large as-can be cared for there 'and rooms, or a building over here devoted to the interests of the association would be good for the movement in gen eral. "Likely the beginning would be small the equiping of a few rooms with read- lng tables, gymnasium material, etc., but it is not improbable that in time a building could be erected in the First ward for this special purpose."

JUDGE HITS AT JAIL Declares That Iron Cages Are for Beasts, Not Men. Portland. Ore, Jan. 20. Declaring that iron cages are for beasts, not men, and that the penitentiaries are too full now, Henry E. McGinn, newly elected circuit Judge for this county, has be gun his judicial career by freeing pris oners convicted in his court.

"When a man is physically ill he is sent to a hospital," says Judge Mc Ginn. "When he is mentally ill, he is sent to. an asylum, and when he is morally ill he is sent to jail and plunged into the depths, when what he needs in most cases, is treatment. "The penitentiary is no place for any human being, save for him who has taken the life of a fellow man. It should not be reserved for the man who commits forgery, robbery and the like, so long as these men show the least opportunity for reformation. I shall not, during my. term of office, punish any man by sending him to state prison, so long as I think there is a chance to save him. But we will deal properly with those incapable of redemption. In cases of incorrigibil ity, I presume I shall be forced to sentence law-breakers to the peniten tiary." Judge McGinn's method is to re quire the paroled prisoner to report to him weekly for a stated time. Be yond this there is no restriction on his freedom. GIVES BOND NOT TO WED Telephone Girl Has Restriction In Spokane Hotel. Spokane, Wash.. Jan. 21. There is a proprietor of one of Spokane's lead ing hotels that decided he would have to go out of business unless he could settle the question of telephone ffirls. No matter what kind he employed thin or fat, old or young they were snapped up and married after a few weeks at work. It'3 no odd job breaking in a telephone operator at a hotel. So the proprietor hit upon a new scheme to keep a helli girl. Miss' Margaret Perkins was select ed to fill, the often vacant chair, but before she was employed she was called upon to furnish a bond. The hotel keeper wanted a good bond, so three leading citizens of Spokane fur nished a bond for Miss Perkins, guar anteeing to forfeit $1,000 if she should marry within six months. She says she won t, because she cannot afford to lose $1,000. If any one wants to woo Miss Perkins he will have to pay over to her bondsmen $1,000.

Is Washington, Jan. 21. The war de partment is endeavoring to meet de mands of the national guard for in struction in the use of field artillery. This arm of the militia service seems likely to become more important in the immediate future, owing to the al lowance by congress of liberal ap propriations for the purchase of new guns for their use. At present the regular army cannot spare non-commissioned officers com petent to instruct the guardsmen, ow ing to the fact that special training is necessary for such instructions,. It is now announced, however, that the department contemplates the for mation of a new clasa of non-commis sioned officers at Fort Riley, Kan., at an early date. When they have com pleted a suitable course the depart ment will grant requests for their de tail as militia instructors. Card of Thanks.

A special committee appointed by the New York State Ear association on the commit ment and discharge of the criminal Insane, has submitted a report in which it declares that the sham plea of insanity as a defense for prisoners accused of serious crimes has become a public scandal. As a remedy, the committee offers the following amend ment to the penal law: "If upon the trial of any person accused of any offense, it appears to the jury upon the evidence that such person did the act charged, but was at the time Insane, so as not to be re sponsible for his actions, the Jury shall return a special verdict, 'guilty, but insane.' Thereupon the court shall sentence such persons to confinement in a state asylum for the criminal in sane for such term as he would have to serve in prison, but for the finding of Insanity. If upon the expiration of such term it shall appear to the court that such person is still, insane, his confinement In such asylum shall con tinues during his insanity. "Further, when such a verdict of 'guilty,' but Insane is returned in a case where the penalty for the verdict of guilty against a sane person is death, such sentence for the insane person thus found guilty shall be for life. In all such cases the governor shall have the power of pardon after such inquiry as' he may-see fit to in stitute, upon the question whether it will be safe to the public to allow such person to go at large."

Two of Them to Be Established by Government in AiasKa. Washington Jan. 21. The southern coast of Alaska will be brought into closer touch with the outside world by two additional wireless stations which the navy department will soon establish there. The stations will be located at Unalaska, one of the Aleu tian islands, and at Kodiak, which is south of the Alaska peninsula, xne collier Saturn will leave the Mare Is land navy yard on May 1, with an ex pedition to install these stations. The navy already maintains wire less stations in Alaska at Sitka and Cordova and the army at Nome and St Michaels. While the two news sta tions will be installed by the navy at the instance of other departments -of the government who have interests in that part of the world, they neverthe less will be of material service to com mercial vessels plying the northern waters. Bering Sea traffic goes through Unimak Pass and the UnalasKa sta tion will be of especial use to them. In those places where there is no com petition with commercial concerns, the navy will handle the commercial messages without charge so far as the government wireless goes. The two new stations will be- tem porary until it is established whether or not the locations chosen are the best obtainable in that part of the world. The navy department contemplates the erection later of a wireless station on the-Hawaiian Island of Oahu. An effort will then be made to establish wireless communication between Un alaska and the Hawaiian islands. AT FOUNTAINS HOTELS.

For Peace and Protection 32 Tears Ago. MANYWELLKNOWNMEN Incidents of President Hayes Tisit Here. Kansas Girls Kiss General Sher man by Proxy. In the early part of April, 1878, the A. T. S. F. railway had a strike over its entire system, which at that time extended from Atchison and Kansas City, through Topeka to Pueblo, the latter place being the western terminus until a year or so later, when the heavy steam exhausts could be heard as the giant locomo tives begun climbing the Raton moun tains, aiming for Santa Fe and the Pacific coast. Without previous warning the road found Itself without engineers, who had abandoned their trains at the run's end; the initial strike was a reality In full force which in the pioneer days of the Santa Fe threatened to be rath er a serious matter, but in comparison to strikes of later years was very tame. As most of the belligerents made their homes in Topeka, and fearing that the railroad property might be In danger and some difficulty arise in getting out trains, it was thought best by officials of the company to apply to the state for protection in ease any violence was attempted. therefore about fifty citizens, many of them rail-, road employees, were asked to appear at the state house, and were sworn in by the adjutant general. P. S.- Nob;e, as special police for guard duty. The temporary organization was called the 'Morse Rifles." Paymaster Moore's Ride. For a time not a wheel was turning for want of men to handle the trains, as the striking engineers were "hold ing the fort" and the firemen were in full sympathy with them. About the Becond or third day an engineer from an Eastern road came along and said he would man an engine, if a fireman and conductor could be found. Very soon someone volunteered as fireman and after examination he was permit ted to shovel coal for the trip; also a conductor from the Illinois Central by the name of Saunders, who had been on a vacation and returning home met Paymaster James Moore at Pueblo and rode to Topeka on the pay car. Just as the strike was started, having several narrow escapes and delays, but finally came through by playing some sharp tactics. Paymaster Moore Introduced Mr. Saunders to one of the railroad offi cials and after a few delays and some difficulty took out the first train for the East over the Atchison branch. It was while this train was being made up that big Jerry Taylor, a form er fireman who deserted his post with the engineers, put a short piece of bar Iron on the slide, expecting to see the cylinder head go out as the engine backed over the Fourth street cross ing to couple before starting, but Taylor missed his calculations by a email margin, as the iron was too nar row to do the damage he had in tended. After four or five days' delay several engineers came in from other lines taking the places made vacant by the strikers and business resumed its usual activity and later on some of the older engineers were restored to their former positions. Saunders, who took out the first train, stayed with the road for a num ber of years, doing his duty with entire satisfaction. James N Branham. an engineer who came here from Illinois after the strike, stuck to his post un til 189 8, when he was killed in the terrible wreck at Lang. Tlie Guards Organized. I started in to tell about the Capital guards as the central figure In tnis article, Dut merely give these Incidents to show what led up to the formation of this company soon after the first strike ever pulled off in Kan sas. Some of the boys, imbued by a spirit of patriotism and having totea a nity canoer Springfield for five days, thought it would be the proper thing to form a permanent or ganization which should answer all the purposes of military discipline and also as a vehicle for social func tions. Acting on these suggestions a meeting was called where C. F. Morse was elected captain, Eugene Smith first lieutenant, and James Moore second lieutenant. Recruits were solicited and the company obtained its full quota In a few months. Captain Morse served only a short time and Lew Hanback was elected to fill the vacancy. Cap tain Hanback served until some time In the fall of '78, when H. A. Need ham, who had earned a good supply of military experience in the Civil war, was elected captain and served as such until mustered out in 1881. As the company was composed mostly of the leading young men in Topeka, and the state did not furnish uniforms, it was ordered that clothes suitable for the "elite" of the capital city must be made In Boston. In compliance with this resolution, spike tail coats, pants and hats of cadet gray were ordered. The hats ware set off with white plumes tipped with blue, and the coats with white epaulets, making up a haberdashery more striking than anything in all the West, at a cost of over $1,500. A "Grand Ball" Given. After the new toggery arrived and was tried out as to making and fit, it was decided to hold a grand New Year's ball at Costa's opera house, now the Commerce building. In order to WW James Moore, Second Ldeutenant. carry out every detail In keeping with a high standard already set, the programs were printed in St. Louis, but. Oh, horrors! when they arrived it was found that an extra "1'' had crept into the word "military." Some of us thought that It would never be noticed, so those programs otherwise very elaborate, were dis tributed among the patrons of the ball. By the addition of one letter we had a good excuse for not paying the bill and the company which did the work agreed with us on that point. The first number on the program was a fancy drill by the guards in full dress, with elastic step and military bearing. It was visible to the casual observer that seven months of drill ing by an expert like Captain Need- ham had wrought changes among raw recruits little less than magic. By a momentary delay in executing one of the commands caused by the whole company having eyes focused on a stylishly dressed and handsome young lady who sat In the front row brought forth a ripple of merriment among the audience and a sharp repetition of the command by the captain. The execu tion of the command Order arms was done so perfectly as to sound like one gun striking the floor with a heavy thud. This brought out hearty ap plause from the spectators. The oft repeated command of "Right forward fours, right march" still rings In my ears. The first grand military ball was a great success and made some money for the guards. Many of the citizens of Topeka still remember Wirt W. Walton, who was the first president of the Civio branch, formed as an aid to co-operate with the military organization. He was one of the most ardent workers in the company until his removal to Clay Center In 1880, where he and Dell Valentine conducted the Dis patch. Soon after this Walton served as chief clerk in the house for one term and was afterwards elected as representative to the legislature. In the fall of 1884, while riding on a lo comotive between Clay Center and Junction City, It overturned and he was so badly scalded that death re sulted on the following day. Old timers well remember Big Kin ney, whose business was to collect fares on the 'bus line from the depots and up town points. Kinney's head quarters were at the old Tefft house. His gigantic size made him a conspicu ous figure around that ancient hos telry, as he weighed some two hundred and fifty pounds and stood about six feet six Inches. The "Big Four." By a curious trend of circumstances the first four on the right of the com pany was composed of men the short est of whom was six feet two Inches, and the combined height was twenty five feet and four inches. The four were as follows: N. N. Kinney, J. W. Campbell, B. F. Jones and A E. Jones. Campbell and B. F. Jones died of con sumption; In 1881 Kinney went to Taney county, Missouri and there came in contact with a sect known las "Bald J Knobbers." He was a witness in court where many of their depredations were exposed. Never forgetting this sudden exposure "the band" had Kin i ney marked as a victim and eventual ly he was shot In the back, killing him Instantly. B. F. Jones was selected from the company as the first drum major of Marshall's band and was commissioned by John P. St John, men governor, with the title of major. A. E. Jones at this time is the only survivor or tne original big four. A remarkable character waa the Rev. Mr. Montjeau, pastor of the First Baptist church and chanlain of the company. He was a natural athlete and a trained actor. This and other pleasing traits gave him great popu larity with the boys. A little Incident during his connection with the guards was one of the causes that led ud to his retirement from the church. Dur ing the second year of his term as chaplain he extended an Invitation to the full company to attend his church and listen to a Sunday sermon. The invitation was accented, and to make the occasion still moro notable Mar shall's band was taken along to fur nish music on the street. Church pieces were rendered In going and secular airs were given or the return. In his address he referred to a promi nent Topeka man who was addicted to drinking and gambling and who. to end It all, committed suicide by shooting. In a tragic manner the speaker said: "Boys, never gamble; if you do it will terminate with a revol ver at the temple." On another occasion when a famous trotting horse was to appear In Kan sas City, the company made arrange ments with the Santa Fe railroad and hired a train in order to make some money to pay on the uniforms. Rev. Mr. Montjeau took a lively Interest on this occasion, selling a great many tickets for the excursion. Soon after mutterings of dissatisfaction were heard among leading members of the Baptist church and finally something happened. Certain charges were said to have been preferred against him, and either he was asked to withdraw or voluntarily left his pastorate; which of these was never quite clear to out siders. However, a grateful remem brance was always cherished between him and his associates of the guards. President Hayes Is Entertained. In Seotember, 1879, an invitation was extended to President R. B. Hayes to attend the Neosho county fair and on making the trip he was accompan ied by Mrs. Hayes, General W. T. Sherman and members of his staff. To render due respect on such an oc casion, the Capital guards were also Invited to be present and act as a guard of honor. They were accom panied by Marshall's band and took a special train and arrived at Neosh'o about the same time that President Hayes and party came in After salu tations were exchanged, a line was formed for a march to the fair grounds, where all the exercises were held. One little Jokelet that was fixed up for the amusement of President Hayes was the Introduction of Big Kinney and Coler Sims, the two extremes In size. Kinney was represented as a A. E. Jones, First Sergeant- Kansas product while Sims was point ed out as an Ohio midget (Ohio was the home of President Hayes). Presi dent Hayes and party took dinner specially prepared for them In a tent. This being over they were shown un der escort of members of the guards, everything of Interest on the grounds. From the reviewing stand President Hayes, General Sherman and some JANUARY Beginning of the Year BEGIN A Systematic Saving Account The Capitol Building Loan Association 534 Kansas Ave. others made short remarks which were greeted with cheers from a crowd es timated at 50,000 people. As a token of regard the president was presented with a chair made entirely of horns taken from Texas steers. The horns were highly polished and the beauti ful piece of workmanship was accept ed with a neat little speech. The guards returned home that night while the presidential party went on to Dodge City accompanied by Captain Needham and his first lieu tenant. The following night arrange ments were made to entertain the vis itors In Topeka. On the arrival of the train, a procession was formed headed by Marshall's band, the Cap ital guards and the Topek Flambeau club. The march was west on Fifth street, south on Kansas avenue and west on Tenth to Harrison, thence to the residence of N. C. McFarland, where the noted visitors were enter tained over night. (This is the home now occupied by H. P. Dillon.) General Sherman Kissed by Proxy. During remarks made by members of the visiting party, It was stated that the illumination given by the Flambeau club was the first that they had ever seen. At a small town be fore the presidential party arrived in Topeka, while waiting for orders, a group of young ladies hac gathered at the station to greet President Hayes and General Sherman in particular. The spokesman of the party called for the old hero of Atlanta, as he appear ed on the platform. Those in front Impressed several osculations on his face In double quick time. The gen eral, not being used to this kind of warfare retired to his car in good or der, pushing out his chief aide, a fine looking young man, who then received what the general had missed. The young ladies who were last In line found they were kissing General Sher man by proxy. It can truthfully be said that the Capital guards put more life into To peka than any other association of men during its three and one-half years of existence, except Marshall's band In later times. Members of the company still recollect with a cold chill running up their cpinal columns how they stood In the snow on the west- side of Jackson street In Janu ary, 1879, by orders from military headquarters, coupled "with a willing ness to render whatever service might be due from loyal subjects. They stood there quivering while theyi.with many others listened to tne inaugural address of Governor John P. St John from the steps of the east wing of the state house, the east wing being the entire building at that date. Following is a list of the officers and privates who were members dur ing the life of the guards. The four first names were the accredited offi cers at the last roll call, as shown by the first sergeant's roll book: H. A. Needham, captain; E. L. Smith, first lieutenant; A. E.

Ont of 230,000 Miles But 17,365 Are Guarded. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. Chicago, Jan. 21. Safeguarding the public In train operations means great Increases of net earnings for the rail roads of the country, according to bulletin of the League for Public Safety. "The aggregate wreck waste of the steam railroads amounts to over 30 per cent of the total expense of opera tion," says the bulletin. According to figures of the interstate commerce commission reports the roads which have done the most to safeguard their lines, are the ones with the low e: ratio of wreck losses. On which has 37 per cent of its mileage signalled In 1908 had wreck losses of $13,721,000 while another with 54 per cent equip ped had losses of $7,200,000, total mile age being about the same. Taken as a whole, however, the American railroads have as yet expended little money in block signal equipment. Out of the total of 230,000 miles of main lines only 17,365 have automatic block signals and only 51,966 the man ual block equipment. This leaves over 150,000 miles or 65 per cent yet to be protected. However, expenses of In stallation would be many times and soon repaid, regardless of the lives saved, In the reduction of wreck waste. In one case the cost of installation and upkeep was repaid in the first year by tne reduction or wreck losses. However, it is hoped that the block signal and train control board of the interstate commerce commission soon can report the discovery of practical equipment it Is seeking, to improve on visual signals, whether automatic or visual, and to stop trains running to ward danger Dy some simple automatic means. 'Human fallibility must be elimi nated," says the secretary of a state railroad commission In writing to the league, "as long as tne people are de pendent upon the human factor in the operation of trains, Just so long will there be serious accidents resulting in death and Injury. 'A recent case of this kind occurred In this state,' in which two men, both motorman and conductor, within IS minutes after having received positive orders to meet a train at a certain sta tion, willfully, or willingly, disobeyed this instruction, passed the meeting point met the passing car with the. result that the lives of 36 passengers were instantly snuffed out of existence and a number of others serlouslv In jured. "It Is hard to determine Just what was passing In the minds of these two men to willfully violate positive in structions within 18 minutes after hav ing received them, so that I believe th only remedy for conditions of this kind is that the human factor be. entirely re moved and that an automatic device be Installed which will absolutely prevent occurrences of this kind. "The device, whatever It might be. should be one which would err upon the side of safety, that Is, should there be a failure in the mechanism it would re sult in showing a danger signal and would lead to the repairing of the plant. This, of course, in this day of high speed might result In unneces sary delays, but to my mind the delay that might occur from causes of this kind would be of very little conse quence as against the loss of life under other circumstances."

TRACT CREW ON WRONG TRACK But Missouri Pacific Men Saw North western Semaphores and Stopped. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 21. A Missouri Pacific train left Lincoln a tew days ago over Northwestern rails, and the crew was much surprised when they were halted at the Twenty-seventh street semaphore station by the sema phore and derail. A Northwestern passenger train on the north side of the Twenty-seventh street crossing was trying to get into town, and before It could reach the depot tne Missouri pa cific train had to back into the yards and cross over through the Junction switch to Gould road rails. The explanation is that a new crew came into Lincoln over the Missouri Pacific In the early hours of .the morn ing with a train, and were ordered out again, to leave at 11 a. m. When the train started the switches were lined up for the incoming Northwestern passenger train, due at 11:35 a. m. The new crew kept going. As the train passed the Northwestern roundhouse one of the men there called up the freight office and excitedly called: "Say, what is this M. P. train do ing out here? It is going east on our line." He was told to stop it. He replied that It had passed and could not be stopped. Then the office men got busy with phones to head orr tne tres passer, but the semaphore men .at Twenty-seventh street beat them to It.

Railroad lines entering Kansas City from the corn and wheat belt report a heavy grain movement, which is taxing the available supply of cars. Loading is very heavy In Missouri. Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma and the predic tion is made that unless the market breaks talk of car shortage and equip ment famine will be heard. Business has picked up rapidly during the past ten days and there are ?ome evidences of the rush that prevailed when range stock was moving. So far there have been no actual shortages of cars, but car distributors have been busy for several days and the amount of load ing now in evidence gives promise of harder work later on if continued.

He ex pects that an official inquiry Just made among Berlin surgeons will prove needless the apprehensions instilled in the public mind regarding the preva lence and character of the malady. "Dr. Klein asserts that a large num ber of the operations are ascrlbable either to the alarm of the patients themselves or the excessive willingness of certain surgeons to operate." When Inter viewed upon the subject by a re porter, one of the United Doctors, who have their Topeka institute located at 610 Kansas ave., said that he heartily agreed with Dr. Klein on this subject. The United Doctors are some of the first physi cians of prominence to cry out against the craze for surgical operations which, during the past few years, has developed into -proportions that alarm the conservative element of society. While he-has ever stood a champion and, In fact, one of the chief expon ents of surgery, he has maintained with all the vigor of his trenchant pen in the leading Journals in the coun try, that the knife should only be em ployed as a last resort. .In their prac tice the United Doctors have always refrained from surgical procedure ex cept when absolutely necessary, un derstanding, as few physicians of the day understand, that It is possible to accomplish the cure of many compli cated, deep-seated diseases by the right administering of Nature's never failing remedies without any recourse whatever to surgery. They have con centrated their splendid genius toward the cure of diseases by using only pure vegetables drugs and medicines. The United Doctors are not "to be daunted by the fact that the patient may have gone from one physician to another in unavailing quest for cure. They do not measure their own pow ers by the standard set up by other men. Some of the greatest triumphs recorded In medical history have dis regarded the repeated assertions of contemporaries that certain diseases were beyond the possibility of cure.

ITT m wen a nets' en v awoara erl De Been PART I. THE two men had been schoolfellows. After. some years separation they were now together on the staff of a great London daily newspaper. Edward Sinclair was slightly the elder of his friend Henry Robs and adopted, perhaps unconsciously, a slightly patronizing air. It was through his influence that Ross had Joined the paper. Their desks were together in the great writing room of the office, and they shared one another's enthusiasms in their work and recreation. Ross had even gone to lire in Sinclair's bouse at Surblton. This proved an admirable arrangement, at least for Ross, who was the most careless creature Imaginable and had no notion of household management or the gentle arts of furnishing. "The proper SSjce to lire in," he always said, "is a caravan, so that one can move one's habitat from day to day." Sinclair, on the contrary, was a man of a strictly ordered imagination. He collected seventeenth century editions and was never known, even under the stress of a big Journalistic hit, to be unrefined in his pleasures. He never nnbent to the point of adopting an undignified attitude the atti tude of the sinner who has good cause for repentance the next morning. He was always a man who kept himself well in hand, limiting his enthusiasms, marshaling his emotions, tabulating his experiences. His "copy" was good he bad quite a large follow ing in the paper but it was principally good because it was never very bad. That was why he earned the esteem and consideration of his colleagues In the office. He was what you might call the correspondent de tout repos. His articles created no alarm in the breasts of careful and well trained subeditors. They could be printed without a tremor. The office worthies knew that his sen timents were always respectable; that he never harbored any Illicit emotion; that what Sinclair thought today Surblton would re-echo tomorrow; hence he was quite a proper man, and the cashier had been asked on one occasion already to Increase his alary. Ross was a direct contrast He had no civic virtues only Journalistic. He made one think of the story of the unredeemed reporter who was found on the penitent bench of the. Salvation Army meeting The military evangelist who was conducting asked, "Brother, are you saved?" "No." was the reply. "I am a Journalist" It seemed to him a sufficient reply no one could accuse a Journalist of wishing to be saved. Ross, I fear, was Irredeemable. He was a poetical person with strange leanings toward green eyes and things that should not be, but are. He was perverse, no doubt in his secret soul, though taking care not to show It A wild, outrageous fellow, his "copy" could never be relied upon. One day it shone like polished brass or twinkled like the stars a thing of beauty and brilliance. Another day it went haltingly through a sea of commas and full stops. No one knew what it meant least of all Ross. It would mean prin cipally dismissal If It were seen by the stern eye of the manag ing editor, who had no bowels of compassion and held out no hope to poets. Before he Joined the Comet Ross had picked up his experi ences anywhere, everywhere He had had strange adventures in Canada, where he turned boatman on one of the great lakes; he had been a cowboy In Texas; if he had not been a backwoods man In Australia it was because he had not had the time. He hpd all the mnklncs of the daredevils of Rolf Boldrewood'a stories. Added to this original dose of sin, he was a poet and broke out suddenly into verse in unexpected places. It was most trying for the subeditor, who liked a man to follow the rules. "Verse verse In an article on the Manchester election! Ridiculous!" And yet Ross had his worth on the paper that was why he was there. He had a wonderful penchant for crime not his own crime; that made him sorry but the crime of other people, which made him glad." He was by way of being a sleuth hound, and whenever he was. charged with the investigation of some great and sensational affair he turned the facts into a golden stream of Imagination, "from wblch leaped the wild flames, of desire and passion and power, hatred and all the green headed monsters that have tormented mankind since the world began. He knew the evil side, of life and seemed to revel In it Of course that was good for his descriptive talents. People love to have the villain painted In glowing colors, with only here and there a suggestion that a villain Is not what he ought to be. When you come to think of It It Is villainy that brings grist to the printing machine. Who wants to read about respectability?. It is much too dull! The dull speeches of dull politicians bah! "Give me a 'orrid sensation to sell the paper" was the h-less opinion of the publisher, a man of parts and discernment, though innocent of. aspirates. Ross and' Sinclair, notwithstanding their contrasting natures, were good friends. Sinclair iiked Ross because deep in the heart of the most respectable and ordered is the sneaking wish to know-'; a daredevil. We should not ourselves dare to be one it Is so un comfortablebut to know one, to bask In his friendship, to catch his illicit secrets, to note his Insidious smile, to watch the glint of mischief in his eye these are the things that make the blood go' quicker In the veins of respectability, with a good banking ac count and a comfortable house in the suburbs. That was partly why Sinclair invited Ross to Join him In his house and to share the housewifely management of Mrs. Sinclair. If I could afford it Mrs. Sinclair would have a chapter to her self. She was fair without being fluffy She had a brilliant com plexion, which was mostly her own. Even when her face was in dishabille it was not nnpleasing, as faces go. She had a smile and a turn of expression that were bewitching at times. There was a look of radiance about her that you do not associate with the English climate. I fancy her ancestry was mixed, but I never Inquired. She had a delicate way of speaking, an under lying admiration for Sinclair, and yet at the same time a person ality different and distinct from her husband. She was what you would call an Interesting woman, besides being a' very pretty one. And. she liked clothes. Sinclair, on the contrary, had an annoying habit of buying shirts one at a time, when on his Journalistic Journeys, and consequently had no linen worth speak ing about He knew nothing of the Joy of dressing. But his wife displayed skill In her choice of colors that attracted the eye, of the artistic Ross. It pained him that the British nation-was to insensible in that respect; that women of even some sentiment nd beauty understand nothing of the harmony of colore, of their enjoyment His own day was spent in long contemplation as to what tie went with what waistcoat Supposing you had a waist- soat of white wool with light blue spots about it would you wear t brown tie and still be respected? These were things tcf torture the mind of Ross. Very many of them were answered for bimv by Mrs. Sinclair He saw she was no ordinary woman, but one: to make him forget his past "affairs" and begin all over again- part II. v .OSS and Mrs. Sinclair agreed very welL They f oundLso many Interests In common. By the disposition of the office the two friends never got off the same evening; hence Ross was at liberty to take Mrs. Sinclair to the theater at times when her husband had his nose to the grind stone. That husband was well content that bis wife was irell' content She, poor thing, pinched and starved in the cli uatlc austerities of Surbiton, found little occasion to flaunt her (ay ribbons. She looked her archest and dressed her prettiest when Ross took her out Sinclair,, as I have implied, had no eye tor color, while Ross revled In It. He always admired her millinery and told her how her dress suited her. They confessed to each other and were mutually shriven. 11 "Edward Is so self centered, so wrapped up In himself; he never seems to think of me, or, If he does think, he imagines my aspi rations are to be met with a check book," sighed the fair Mrs. Sinclair. Ross was all sympathy. "A shame t You are too nice a little woman to be wasted in this way," though he took care not to indicate any other way. He was a born bachelor and had not even a wife In the antipodes. A year passed, and the Intimacy grew till even Sinclair fancied It was a little overdone. However, Ross and he were on such good terms, he found his friend's conversation and outlook bo refreshing, that he hesitated to remonstrate. While he was won dering what would be his better course he knew by experience It would be useless to appeal to Mrs. Sinclair he was helped by the post Perhaps this Is not quite the right expression, since the post dealt him a heavy blow. It was in the form of an anony mous letter one of those hatefully cruel things that wriggle their way into the bosom of friendship and leave a poison there. This letter began in the usual way of anonymous letters, "Sir I think it my duty to warn ypu," etc Sinclair read on with glow ing cheeks and kindling eye. The hateful scrawl hissed out accu sations against his wife and Ross. They were together every where, said the correspondent, and the neighbors had begun to talk. "Was he aware that only the night before last Mrs. S. and the gentleman boarder" so the missive expressed it "had re turned home as late as 1:30 a. m.? He" that is, the "gentleman boarder" "was in a very hilarious mood." There were other allusions to the state of things said to prevail, and the letter con cluded with the hope that Sinclair, in his blindness and desire to think no evil, would not allow this interloper to poison his happi ness and ruin his home. In an ordinary way Sinclair would have treated this letter as a Joke, or, more probably, with contempt and contumely. He would have torn it to bits and deposited it in the fire. But today he was not quite in this mood. There seemed to him to be a whls- Then there came Into her eyes a gleam of something that might have been admiration. The very fierceness of the man cowed and yet fascinated her. She began to feel a new interest In her husband's personality, let before the fire of those flash ing gray eyes she had nothing to say. She hung her head in shame and confusion. PART III. ROSS fled, his mind In a chaotic state. Without knowing how or why, he found himself striding beside the river. He realized it suddenly, and It gave him a shock. It suggested suicide. Life was too strong within him for that The idea had flashed upon him, and he refused it impa tiently. The mental action brought him to his senses. In a sort of trance he had been thinking in a vicious circle. This awakened him. Of course he was in a horrible mess. He had wrecked three lives. Would Sinclair shoot him? No, he was sure of that It would be the usual sordid divorce case, the exposure of dirty linen, himself the libertine corespondent, the false friend. The Idea sickened him selfishly, perhaps. He ought to have thought of the consequences. Truth will out Of the woman and her husband he was thinking little; the catastrophe was on his own head. What should he do? He was now clearly conscious. He had so little money. He had never aved. He could not even emigrate, nor could he get abroad again. Meanwhile, he must stick to the office for a livelihood. How would he be able to avoid Sinclair? Why avoid him? Goodness 1 It was after midnight He must do something. He was hungry; no matter, the thought of action of any kind had roused him. What a hopeless failure he was! About 2 In the morning found him outside the office; he did not know quite where to go or what to do. A cold drizzle har monized with his feelings. Yes, he would go in. An agitated "sub" looked at him in bewilderment Of course pering suggestion of truth about It; It seemed to respond to his own questionings, to his own inner voice of doubt and suspicion. Yet he could not make up his mind what to do. What could he do? It was so sordid and hateful, so dreadful to have to doubt one's friends. And yet was there any need to doubt? Was it not a trumped up lie of some malevolent creature in the office who was envious of bim or of Ross, or perhaps of both, and wished to set them by the ears in the hope of making a scandal? Sinclair sat for a long time pondering these things. He had recently been raised to the post of night editor tem porarily, had said the proprietor, to see how he shaped and the responsibility absorbed him more than ever. He left the article before him unwritten; he bad not the heart to write. His brain was in a whirl; his heart beat with terrible quickness; he thought he must suffocate. "I cannot stand it I cannot stand it" He ran his hands through, his hair. At the same time he caught sight of himself in the mirror in his office. "Good heavens!" be muttered. "One would think I had committed a murder." In his agitation he left his writing, put on his bat and went out The roar in the streets Seemed to do him good. He began to think clearly. "Obviously my best course," he reflected, "is to question Ross." He hailed a hansom and dashed back to the office. "Is Mr. Ross in?" he asked of the boy in charge of the landing. Ross was not In was not expected that day. He had gone into the country to attend a wedding, he told the subeditor. "A wedding In the country! Ah I" Sinclair began to think again rapidly, painfully. "Well, we will see." He again took up his hat and went out This time he hailed an auto taxi driver and gave his own house as the address. They whirled away to Surbiton at the unaccustomed hour of 4. It gave Sinclair a curious feeling to see his home by daylight he rarely saw it ex cept by gaslight or moonlight The world looked different some how; it gave him a curious feeling Of unreality. He let himself in quietly. "No good to disturb Emmie," he thought There was not a soul in the sitting room or the little apartment off it which the Sinclaira dignified by the name of the "smoky." He went upstairs .swiftly and turned the handle of tils bedroom door. A bolt on the other side resisted him. He 1 pushed, but the .door did not yield in the slightest In an agony 'of mind he commenced to. kick, and then to hammer upon the panels with his fists. Suddenly the door opened. Ross rushed out He almost knocked Sinclair over Sinclair lunged at him fiercely, but the blow did not reach him. Ross raced down the stairs. In a sec ond or two there was a loud banging of the door He had gone. Mechanically Sinclair advanced a step or two Into the room. His wife stood before the mirror, coiling her hair with nervous fingers. He could see her- frightened expression in the glass, see how pale- she was. r Sinclair was too overcome to speak. He stood gasping, with staring eyes. She was much the less perturbed of the two. When he found his tongue he rained reproaches on her, coupling her name with that of Ross with a brutality and sav agery that were absolutely new to him and to her. She stood transfixed by his violence. -Hf Sinclair was too overcome to speak. He stood gasping, with staring eyes. his presence there at all was unexpected he was not on duty but Ross thought he must look queer, guilty even. Had he seen Sinclair? Where was Sinclair? They were already late; they must go to press without him; they had been waiting for him and had put in other copy instead. No, Ross did not know where he was. He was eonsdous him self of a mental picture of Sinclair in despair. Evidently Sinclair In his agony had forgotten his work. Yes, better go to press at once. Just then a bulky cable was thrown in by messenger. Ross took it up and turned It over -mechanically.

The sub hesitated a moment and then dashed off to give orders to the printing room. Ross opened the cable an account of a terrible shipwreck, hundreds of emigrants drowned, a mad rush for the boats, women and children dashed aside, officers and crew using revolvers and belaying pins in a useless attempt to intimidate the maddened foreigners fighting for their lives. Yes, it must be a "scoop" he felt it he was sure of it The journalistic instinct rang out sharp and true. But what had it to do with him? Sinclair should have been there. It was none of his business. Besides, how late It was! The printing had Just begun. That settled it He was himself again. He sent for the sub, stopped the machines and at down and wrote op the story as he had never worked before. His heart was in it; he was on the slippery decks himself. Was not Ms own life a shipwreck? Yes, it was a Scoop, quite an exclusive story; none' of the rivals had" any mention of it The paper sold like wildfire and kept the machines going till late. The proprietor, staying at Brighton, was overjoyed; never had there been such a complete success. He telegraphed congratulations to Sinclair and con firmed him in his post as night editor. Sinclair Mmself, sad, tired and unstrung, drifting Into the office for the evening work, found the telegram, read it and did not understand. Since the realization of his misfortune his mind had been blank. He had not seen or heard anything. He had not seen his wife again; he had not turned her out In reality he bore her no ill will now; he saw his own failings, Ms neglect, too clearly. He began to think himself to blame. She would go to her people, of course, and the nasty, unpleas ant proceedings would follow. Could he keep his post! How wretched he felt! "Who wrote uj the story?" be asked. "Oh, Mr. Ross, sir. He came in quite late, just when we had gone to press. He stopped us, and we put up the copy line by line as he wrote it" In his unexplained absence the coup could have been missed. This, indeed, might have cost Mm bis place. And here he was definitely appointed editor and his reputation made thanks to Boss. He sent for bin. As Ross came in Sinclair looked up, walked across the room, the proprietor's wire in his hand, and handed it to him without a word. Ross read It I am leaving for good," he stammered. "If you could if it were possible to forget and forgive," he added. He just raised his eyebrows. Sinclair understood intuitively sorrow sharpens the wits. He turned to discover a veiled figure who had been waiting for him. He advanced and took Ms wife's hand. oooooooooo A TALE OF EARLY NEW YORK MOLLY VAN DTJSEN and I plighted our troth one even ing under the parapet of the battery in the town of New Amsterdam. We were looking down the bay, and a sMp, the first that had arrived in several weeks, was coming up under full sail. It was summer. All these things I remember well, for it was the happiest moment of my life, and whatever was visible to my dear love and me was deeply im pressed upon my mind. That was a very hot season, and Molly was drooping from the heat The very next day after she had promised to be my wife her father determined to send her to the eastern coast in Con necticut to spend some time with her mother's brother. Pardon I s r tin FN-i t1 i m n -m 1 IF Mathews, hoping that the sea air would strengthen her. I was loath to let her go at such a time and especially since the captain of the ship that came in at the time of our betrothal reported having been chased by a pirate, and it was well known that the buccaneers were at any time liable to make a descent on the coast Bat Molly's father packed her off In the coach leaving for Boston, directing that she be put off at a ;bit of headland jutting out into Long Island sound not far from the settlement at New Haven. It was a sad day for both of us when she got Into the coach and I watched it pass out of sight among the boweries lying to the eastward of the town. And even after the coach had grown so dim with distance as scarcely to be discovered I could see Molly's white handkerchief streaming a signal of her love for me. I found the town unbearable without her. I played at bowls In the green near the battery and sailed In my boat on Hudson's river, but t could not get on without my Molly, so I determined to go to her. I mounted my sorrel one August morning, with my saddlebags well filled with eatables, and on the third day reached the New Haven settlement After partaking of a dinner and giv ing my horse a good feed I remounted and In three hours' time came in sight of that headland where dwelt Pardon Mathews. There are rocks and short beaches on this shore and an occa sional knoll covered with long grass. An Indian showed me Mr. Mathews' house Bet on one of these knolls. I trotted on where the road ran near the water and presently, looking ahead, saw two persons standing on a rock that protruded out a few feet above the surface of the sound. As I drew near I could see that one of these persons was man and the other a woman. The man was In an uncouth dress. What was my surprise vchen I came near enough to distinguish his apparel to see chat he wore a hat with a large brim, a short coat and trousers to Ms knees, flaring at the bottom of the legs, while a broad belt filled with knives was buckled about his waist At once I was filled with alarm, feeling sure that there had been a descent of pirates on the settlers and this fellow had carried off one of the women. Having a pistol in my holster, I drew it forth, saw to the priming and made ready for an attempt to rescue this poor woman. Dismounting, I left my horse In a thicket and, stealing up on the couple, hid behind a rock and, taking sure aim at the pirate, pulled the trigger. The flint refused to light the priming, and luckily, for at the moment the pirate put his arm around the woman's waist and the two stood looking at the incoming tide. Were she a willing captive it would only distress her If I killed her lover. But what was my horror when she turned her face my way to see my MoUy. At first I was minded to kill them both; but, shrinking from having Molly's blood on my hands, I desisted and advanced with my pistol in hand. "Have you gone mad. Mistress Van Dusen," I exclaimed, "that you will accept the caresses of a pirate, or has he murdered all your folk and you are making a pretense in order to watch your opportunity to get away from him?" As I spoke I held the pirate under cover of my weapon, and he, turning, ran like a deer toward Mr. Mathews' bouse. "See the coward run!" I cried, half minded to shoot Mm In his tracks. And then what did Molly do but burst Into loud laughter, and. sitting down on the rock, she kept it up till I grew hot with choler and said: "For shame, Molly, to turn from me to a pirate, and a coward at that! Speak before I kill Mm." This brought her to her senses. "Forbear she said. "Do not kill a girl." "A girl! And have the women turned buccaneers?" With that she fell to laughing again, and I could get nothing from her for a long while, when she controlled het mirth and said: "ToMght uncle gives a dance to the settlers roundabout and all are to come dressed In some strange costume. This pirate who has Just closed the door of the house is my cousin. Patience Mathews. She is dressed In her costume for the dance.' We two came out to watch for the boat bearing guests from New Haven." "Heavens!" I exclaimed. "Had not my flint failed I would have shot her."
