Keith, of the law firm directing the search for the missing heiress. Mr. Keith declared, however, that this trip had nothing to do with the girl's disappearance. "Out of the dozens of possible clews we have failed to develop anything new," Mr. Keith said. "We are still searching for Miss Ar nold on both sides of the Atlantic but there is nothing to warrant us in en tertaining the hope she will be found soon. "We investigated thoroughly the cir cumstances surrounding the Washing ton trip which was made with her par ents' knowledge and consent but have found nothing to help us in the search." Mr. Keith denied that detectives had searched the marriage licenses records for her name last Thanksgiving, or at any time previous to her disappear ance. She Wrote From Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Feb. 2. It is said at police headquarters that Dorothy H. C. Arnold, the missing New York girl, was until recently in Philadelphia and had written to her father from this city. Francis R. Arnold, her father, and Captain Souder of the detective depart ment, it is said, had a long distance telephone talk in which it is declared Mr. Arnold said he had received a let ter from his missing daughter post marked Philadelphia. Captain Souder said he did not know the contents of the letter. "I will deny anything published about the case." said Captain Souder. "This letter was given in confidence and I will not discuss it. I do not want any publicity given the affair." Publicity at this time, he said, would tend to injure the work of those in vestigating the case. Chicago Police Asked to Help. Chicago. Feb. 2.

INCREASE CARRIERS PAY Senator Curtis Would Help Rural Routes Murdock Sick. Washington, Feb. 2. Senator Curtis today presented an amendement to the postal appropriation bill providing for an increase of pay for the carriers in the rural free delivery service to a basis of $1,000 for standard 24 mile routes with graduations above and be low at 123 per mile per year. In other words the amendment provides for a minimum salary of $B0O for any dis tance and a maximum pay of $1,200. The appropriation bill as it passed the house provides $1,000 a year as maximum Day for standard routes which are 24 or more miles in length Heretofore the graduations of pay have been below the 24 mile standard with no allowance in excess of that length. There is a disposition in the senate to stand by the house action in increasing the rural carriers' salary. but the senate committee of postofflces and postroads, backed by the depart ment, strongly favor the Curtis amend ment, and it is believed it will be Congressman Victor Murdock, who was granted leave of absence from the house a week or more ago on account of illness looks bad. He is suffering from nervousness and stomach trouble which has greatly reduced his weight. While he is able to be out he is weak and requires much rest before engag ing in active service. At the request of Senator Bristow the nomination for reappointment of Postmaster Heaton, Lincoln, Kansas, is being held up in the senate. TO ROB HUDSON BAY.

Places Price on Long Eared Denizens of Prairies.; KELLY IS PEACEFUL. Would Send Anyone Who Car ries Weapons to Prison. Proposes Most Drastic of Fire Arms Bills. The house this morning resumed dis cussion of the Kyle jackrabbit bill where it left'off Wednesday afternoon. The senate discussion of the utilities bill was not more earnest and bitter her home Monday, December 12, than the fight over this important proposition of whether or not the coun ties shall pay a bounty of five cents on jackrabbit ears. All other legislative matters were shelved In the dim re cesses of oblivion while the members weighed this problem of rabbit ears and considered its bearing on the future of this great state. Could Kan sas survive the calamity of the inroad of jackrabbits if this bill was allowed to die, that was the proposition ad vanced by the friends of the bill. Its enemies looked with apprehension upon a depleted treasury and bankrupt coun ties calling for assistance. A com pro mise was finally reached, just as is always the case with great measures that have to do with constructive leg islation ever since the days of Henry Clay. The bill was passed after being amended to prohibit any county from paying out more than $1,000 per year in bounties. Cones of Meade today filled out to the bitter end his destiny when his many amendments to the bill were do stroyed one by one. Since his anti- tights bill saw the light of publicity tne signs and portents have all been against Mr. Cones. The night dispatches may carry the alarming newa that the senate has killed the initiative and referendum, but the state will still maintain its composure and those who would other wise have yielded to despair will be able to point to the house record of the morning wherein the jackrabbi bill came safely to port with the saving grace for two more years of life, pros perity and happiness for the common wealth. Kelly of Shawnee today introduced the following bill in relation to the carrying of deadly weapons: "If any person in this state shall carry on or about his person, saddle, or his saddle-bags, any pistol, revolver, dirk, dagger, slungshot, sword-cane. spear, or knuckles made of metal or other hard substance, bowie knif.?. razor, or any other knife manufactured or sold for the purpose of offense or defense, he shall be punished by con finement and hard labor in the state penitentiary for the period of one year for the first offense; and for the sec ond offense such person shall be pun ished by confinement and hard labor in the state penitentiary for the period of not less than two years nor more than three years. Provided: That all persons in the military or naval service of the United States, or other state or countv. whi'e in this state; or sheriff, constables, po nce, or any otner peace onicer, or any such officer from any other state or county while in this state, shall be ex empt from the provisions and penalties of this act. "Provided: That any person of good moral character and oVer 21 years of age, may, if a resident of any town or city in this state, obtain a license for the period of one year to carry for hia personal defense, one pistol or revolver by paying for said privilege the sum of $5 to the mayor of the city or town. Any person of good moral character and over 21 years of age, a resident of any county in this state outside tho limits of any city city or town, may obtain a license to carry for his per sonal defense one revolver or 'pistol for the period of one year, from the county attorney of such county by paying for the privilege to said county attorney the sum of $5. Said license, or record thereof, shall be a complete defense for the prosecution of unlawfully carrying I arms or weapons in this state, I am 1 All license fees obtained under the terms of this act shall be paid to the county commissioners of the county wherein said license was obtained, tj be used In paying the expense of prose cuting persons charged with the com mission of any crime. "Provided: That any person travel ing through this state, coming from another state or country, carrying a pistol, or revolver for his personal pro tection, or any person having a hunt er's license carrying a hunter's gun or knife while actually on a hunting trip, shall be exempt from the provisions and penalties of this act." McCormick of Crawford would make it unlawful for any person to hunt or fish on the premises of any person without first gaming permission to do so. In his bill introduced today in the house the Crawford county member seeks to put the kibosh sign on hunt ers and fishermen who have game pre serves of their own and no friends owning such property. Ward of Haskell favors the plan of county commissioners offering a re ward of $250 for the capture and con viction of any person who has com mitted a penitentiary offense against society, and in his bill introduced in the house today gives the commission ers such powers and authority. Here tofore the law has allowed only the governor the privilege of offering a re ward for the capture of criminals. Capt.D-uncanMcLarenMcKayofOhicago none other, appeared before the legisla tive committee on the Memorial build ing this week to tell them of the su periority of his Georgia marble over all other stones since the pyramids were built. The captain is as great as his marble, and that is saying a good deal. He gained his title from sailing a ship around the world a few times, and he has put up at most ports. He looks the part of the old time salt and has a delightful personality. To hear him tell of the glories and perpetual qual ities of his Georgia marble is a treat. This stone has a finish like silk and a textile like the everlasting granite. The newspaper boys who heard the captain talk would have bought the output of his quarry on the spot. As for the committeemen, even their tiger hearts were moved, and the betting is two to one on Georgia marble. If stone could talk then would Captain McKay place lips to the cold mar ble. He told how the Indians carried it to New England in the colonial days to use for tombstones, and declared that now the edges of the stone and the corners were as clear cut as the edge of a newly sharpened knife. Under the captain's description the en durance of this marble becomes an epic to defy time. He talks about it like poet on the shores of the ocean or an essayist by a forest brook. If the Memorial building is constructed of anything else but Georgia marble then a crime will have been committed against the state, and it will not be the captain's fault, either. DEAD AND MISSING 30. Property Loss toy Dynamite Explosion Approximates l,O00,O0O. New York, Feb. 2. Three separate investigations were started this morn ing to fix the responsibility of the dynamite explosion in New York har bor yesterday. One will be conducted by a coroner's jury under James M. Houghtori of Jersey City, another by Inspector of Combustibles James M. Connolly of Jersey City, and a third by Public Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven of Hudson county, N. J. The Jersey City police and the fed eral authorities will assist in all the thppe investigations. TJefinite estimates of the number of dead are still impossible. The total of dead and missing are 30. The list of dead in the hands of the coroner's jury is seven and it is that official's belief that most of the 23 men whom he classes as "missing" were blown to atoms. The property loss, according to vari ous estimates, will be between $750,000 and $1,000,000. The heaviest sufferer in this respect Is the Central Railroad of New Jersey at whose docks the dis aster occurred. Vice President Besler sets the railroad's loss at about $200, 000. The United States government 19 also a heavy loser with $50,000 damages at Ellis island. The blast was prottamy tne largest explosion of dynamite that has ever occurred anywhere intentionally or by accident. Fifty thousand pounds went up in the single detonation. MOTOR CAR HITS AUTO.

HAS P00RGHANCE Initiative and Referendum a Tattered Rag. Senate Rips It From One End to Another. THREE ROLL CALLS. Administration Forces Make a Gallant Fight. May Support Minority Measure in Retaliation. In the senate today the initiative and referendum resolution prepared by the administration forces, is being at tacked from every side and the three roll calls permitted under the new rules of the upper house were disposed of without result to the men who had hoped to place the regulars on record on all important measures. Several in surgent members have declared they will support the minority measure in case the reform bill is defeated. The debate on the amendments Is lively and spirited. Time and time again the regulars have been charged wiin inriaeiiiy, to party pledges and they have retaliated with the as sertions that 'the: platform is machine made. Under special order, the resolu tion was called up at 10:30 this morn ing. Cambern, of Neosho, was called to the chair and every word of his parliamentary knowledge is required in keeping the motions on the right No sooner had the order of the ses sion been announced, than Robertson opened a fight for the substitution of the minority measure. He was unable to una sufficient votes and the admin- istratlon document was given the first inning. Myers wanted his document amend ed to require a tWO-thirds vnte nt mem. bers of the two houses on emergency propositions. Travis started the fear in the insurgent hearts by demanding a roll call. Myers withdrew his reso lution. Then Carey amended the en acting clause by adding the words "be it.'' Travis wanted a roll call. Here tne regulars showed that they control! ea enougn votes to control, the situa tion and humiliate the framers of the Stannard resolution which allows three roll calls on any pending bill on the motion of one-third of the members present. The Democrats voted with the insurgents and the regulars collected id votes on the demand of a. mil ijli As the amendment really helped the measure, the administration crowd vo ted for the measure which carried 29 to 10. Then a general attack was made on the per cent of voters required to sub mit a proposition.' Bender wanted the per cent placed at 35 and Stewart said 40 per cent was none too small. The original measure fixed the number at 8 per cent. Stillings, of Leavenworth, said everyone was too high and that 5 per cent would please his constitu ents. Glenn told the members to get busy. Stewart took exception to the remarks made earlier by Carey and said he wanted the matter fought out on the floor of the senate and not smothered in the committee. Here My ers came to the rescue of his resolution and said that a 'high percentage as was suggested by Bender and Stewart would require nearly the entire vote of trie would exclude all minority parties and Republican party and would be ineffec tive. He declared a move of this kind hey would be unable to initiate a measure. Hodges said Myers would make It easy to resubmit the prohibition ques tion and hold prize fights in the state and that such efforts were not only fool ish but entirely out of place. Stavely came back at Stillings re garding the low per cent reauired to submit propositions and declared that the people of Kansas would not stand for such things as are proposed. I want to read to you from a man who once talked different than todav." said Stavely. "I want to read to you from that article written by William Allen White in his "What's the Matter With Kansas,' in which he said that Kansas did not need wealth and that what the state wanted was more hell and to let the corn grow to weeds, This reminds me of Saul who was persecuted on the battle field and regret that this man William Allen White has forgotten what he wrote 20 years ago and who built that famous Republican platform of 1910." Stavely made a hit in his speech and he brought out the first glad hand of tne morning session. Clad Hamilton said the senate was looking at the matter in the wrong light and that the people did not want their measures pushed down by that third bouse which he declared was the legislative lobby. Hamilton said that a man who ran on a platform before election should stand on that platform after election. If we don t get this measure through," declared Hamilton, "then 1 will support the minority resotn I am for the very best we can get in accordance with our policies and the high percentage desired is radically wrong. We have a duty to perform and this is not the placa, to forsake that duty." The senate was making slow prog ress and Quincy asked that former motions be laid on the table and that a minimum percentage be fixed. A roll call was demanded and this time the minority voted for the call. The call occurred on the Stewart motion for a 40 per cent initiative which Chairman Cambern declared took nreference over the Quincy motion, The Stewart motion lost 25 to 14 Senator Glenn declared that he fa vored the I. and R., but said he did not feel that the platform was binding on him. He said the platform was prepared by five men the night before the party council was held. "Not a man in this senate was pres ent at that meeting." said Glenn. Quincy said he attended the meeting and that more tnan nve men attended Glenn then declared that the Salina senator attended the meeting after which the platform was prepared. "I belong to the conservative wing of the party," aeciarea .Brewster, "and I was in the party council. I want to call vour attention to the fact that In that council none of us had a chance to say anything about what went into that document and amendments were ruled out of order. Had I had chance to help make that platform, I would be here supporting it. Your strongest advocates admit that the public mind is made from an inspec tion of the title and not from a study of the nronosed law itself. I want to call your attention to the fact that Samuel G. Blythe, one or tne stronger advocates of this plan, admits this very statement in a recent article in' the Saturday Evening Post.". Robertson, of Rawlins, argued at length for a small percentage. He de clared that it would act as a safety valve for obstreperous legislators who came to Topeka, choked laudable legis lation and brought forth little fruits of their labors. The Rawlins man con tended that the amendment was need ed and would bring forth good fruit. He pointed to the good results in Ore gon and declared that the Kansas voters were just as intelligent as tho voters of any other state. Ganse. of Emooria. followed tha Rawlins county senator in behalf of the measure and said that a majority of the voters preferred the change and would vote for it. He said he was will ing to compromise on 15 per cent, but that a larger percentage was unfair. Ganse said if the liquor question was to be an issue in this state that now was a good time for the fireworks and that the vote in favor of prohibition would be certain and final. A roll call was demanded on the Bender amendment for 35 per cent. Fifteen members demanded a call. Here Stannard declared the senate was playing horse with his new rule, but before he could discuss the error of the members, Carey called him to or der. The third and final roll call on the resolution was taken and the mo tion was adopted 24 to 14. With the roll calls disposed of. the 'senate settled down for real business. The vital paragraphs of the measure were left intact for an invasion of which no record can be made.. Just as had been predicted, the Stannard plan had been made a laughing stock and common joke. Stavely had taken great chunks of hide from the insurgent lead ers by his clever allusions and quota tions from Bill White's popular editor ial of the Populist days. Solemnly the Osage City member called attention to the radical changes of heart of the man who now advocates a change which he once derided as the rantings of an ov erheated public mind. Brewster and Stewart had added to the general ca lamity in tHe administration camp by declaration that the alleged platform to which allegiance was charged, had been manufactured by the most rabid machine politics. The discomfiture of the reform element was made more manifest when the lingering hope of a successful record was destroyed by men who made motions, demanded roll calls and voted against their very motions. Senator Potter tried to call the forces together, but without avail. Quincy charged insincerity, but it did not reach home. Myers intimated political juggling and Hamilton vouched for the assertion, hut it did not bring a change of heart. Near the close or the morn ine session Robertson and Hodges on behalf of the minority began to Una fault with the document. They re- ponded to the cry for roll calls and Hodges prepared amendments which were hurried to the desk of the reading clerk. At 12:30, a recess was taken until z o'clock this afternoon with no visible results from the morning session, al though nearly two hours were spent trying to fix the document according to individual liking. Ganse, a radical insurgent leader and perhaps the best source of oratory in the reform camp, offered to raise the required percentage. The regulars smiled, but declined to meet the advance. After a week of patching and fixing, the Bubrallroad committee of the sen ate has combined the ideas of the four framers of the public utility bills in a single measure which embodies the theory or portions of theories of all parties and factions of the upper house. From the Carey bill was taken sections which were moulded into the Quincy bill and portions of the Quincy bill were added to the Stavely bill and the three were carefully mixed with extracts from the Democratic document. The bill may not be reported for sev eral days, although the subcommittee has finished the arduous duties which they undertook. This evening the bill will go to the general committee and will carry the headline of a committee preparation. From the administration bill offered by Quincy. which he admitted he had never read, was removed the stipula tion that railroads and other utilities must furnish maps and profiles ofheir roads and bridges; on the ground that it is better to benefit the railroads than to harass the public. The utilities com mission is to compose three members, That's the Quincy idea. Until the 1912 election, the duties of the commission will be vested in the railroad commis sioners. Then an elective board is call ed for. The salary of each member is fixed at $4,000 a year, although no per son owning stock in any public utility is eligible for the job from commission er down to general stenographer, one radical paragraph in the new bill reads: No public utility or common car rier shall declare any stock, bond or script dividend, or divide the proceeds of the sale of any stock. Dona or script among its stockholders." Any concern operating under tne commission Is forbidden from pur chasing or acquiring any part of the capital stock or bonds or other forms of indebtedness or any competing or non-competing utility or commission carrier. An orhcer or director wno shall issue stock or bonds contrary to the provisions of the act. is liable for a fine of not less than $500 or more than $5,000. The commission is given the power to fix all rates or joint rates in a conference wiin omciais or sucn eomnanv. An annual statement is requirea from each corporation thus governed which will give in detail the amount or capital stock issued, price paid for same. The Doara is "riven aosoiuie cower to regulate all issuances of bonds and securities. Not more than two members of the commission shall be of the same political faith. A pub lic utility is denned in the new bill as follows: The term public utility, aa used in this act, shall be construed to mean everv corporation, company, Individ ual. association of persons, their trus tees, lessees or receivers, that how or hereafter may own, control, operate or manage any equipment, plant, generat ing machinery or any part thereof, for the transmission or leiepnone mes sages in or through any part of the Btatn. or the conveyance of oil and gas through pipe lines through any part of the state, or for the operation of any trolley lines, street, electrical or motor railway doing business in any county in the state; also all sleeping CGontlnaed on Paso Eight.! KILLED TOR HIRE. Professional Poisoner Is Ar raigned in Russian Court. He Admits Responsibility for Death of 40 Persons. HE IS A PHYSICIAN. Farorite Method Was Inocula tion With Germs of Disease". Suspected of Starting a Cholera Epidemic in This Way. St. Petersburg, Feb. 2. There wa an unusual occurrence at today's ses sion of the trial for murder of Count O'Brien De Lassy and the notorious poisoner. Dr. Pantchenko, the latter being called on to plead a second time. He pleaded guilty as before. The count is accused of having em ployed the doctor to murder his brother-in-law, Count Vassili Boutur- li.n, the heir to estates of an estimated value of $3,600,000 in' order that tha property might be inherited by Coun tess De Lassy. Pantchenko confessed his guilt but set up the defense that he committed the crime while "under the hypnotic influence of the. count. As the trial progressed he was led into matters of detail and his lawyers were quick to strengthen his original defense by declaring that their client was still under the influence of the count to such an extent that he was little by little retracting the vital points of his confession. Today the public prose cutor took cognizance of the situation and after referring to the proximity of the prisoners in the dock made a mo tion that the cardinal question of his guilt or Innocence be proposed again to Pantchenko. He said that the re plies of the prisoner had been unsat isfactory throughout his examination. The court granted the motion and the formal question of the indictment was again read. Once more the aged phy sician replied that he was guilty of Bouturlin's death. His examination was then contin ued. Asked whether he had adminis tered poison to his victim, Pantchenko demurred, saying he would answer that question after the data of the medical experts who had made the postmortem had been presented in court. Admits 40 Murders. The whole empire is interested in the case because of the wholesale confession made by Pantchenko. Ev ery mysterious death in recent years is recalled and there are rumors that the poisoner may have been engaged to cause the death of members of the royal family. He has admitted that he made a business of killing for hire,-, heirs, rivals In love, insistent credftors and in fact any undesirable persons whose enemy was prepared to pay lib erally for their sudden taking off. The poison doctor, according to the police, has admitted some 40 deaths, his fees running as high as $250,000 for single assassination. His method was to inoculate the patient with cholera or .other bacilli after he had been called to the bedside in his pro fessional capacity. He is now credited by some with having originated the cholera epidemic of a few years ago. The doctor is 70 years old and ap pears to have had some standing in society despite his dual profession. Count De Lassy is a young man of Irish descent. The woman in the case Madame Muraveiff, with whom Pantchenko lodged and to whom be says he turned over his earnings. She figures In the trial as an alleged ac complice. De Lassy is a cousin of Countess Tarnovka who is serving a prison term in Italy for complicity In the murder of her fiance. Count Komarowsky. "ount Bouturlin was 26 years of age. the son of General Bouturlin whose family is old and wealthy. Pantchenko says In the case of this killing he used diphtheria bacilli. GARFIELD HELD UP.

Chicago looked great in the closing weeks of the past campaign and Duff's boys will give the others a lot of trouble. Then Detroit must be reckoned with and so must Boston and Cleveland. Washington and St Louis have a habit of causing "the Athletics a lot of trouble. "Thus, in looking over the field, there is no reason for my boys to get over confident. Naturally, L expect the Athlrci to repeat both In the Ameri can league race and in the world's series, but it Is going to keep us hust ling all the time to do It. "Before going away last fall," con tinued Manager Mack, "I signed up nearly all my men. One of the first things that I will do is to get busy on the plans for the spring training trip and I think it will be two weeks be fore the official announcement will be made as to what our plans are for the southern Journey." The latter statement was a surprise. It was expected that the Athletics would follow last year's plans. Then the veterans spent a couple of weeks boiling out at Hot Springs, Va., after which they Joined the Tanigans at At lanta, Oa. The only change looked for this year was to shift from Atlanta to Savannah, grounds at the latter place having been leased and Ground Keeper Joe Schroeder having gone to Savan nah to put the diamond in shape. From the hint dropped by Manager Mack, it is possible that Savannah will be cut off the list and some other spot selected. No time was lost by Manager Mack in getting down to work after his ar rival.

DESPAUT BUYS OUTFIELDERS. Gets Tvvo New Antelopes From Gal veston. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2. Two new outfielders will come to the Antelopes in the spring as the result of a deal fixed up with the Galveston, Tex., club by President Despain recently. They are McCormick and Miller. Both men have good records and will push any other candidates for the jobs. McCormick is an ex-big league re cruit. He played in 1909 with Okla homa City. He swatted a .311 clip and led the league in runs scored with 93 trips across the platter. Thirty four two baggers, nine triples, five home runs were the results of his hard driving. He was drafted by Brooklyn and farmed without trial to the New Bedford club in the New England league last season. His field ing record for the season was .937 and he batted .274. scoring 65 runs and making 22 two baggers, 6 triples and 7 home runs. Brooklyn recalled his services last fall but finally traded him to Galveston. He positively re fused to play in the Texas league and that club was therefore willing to lis ten to a good offer from Despain. Miller has not had the experience of McCormick but his record, though made in a smaller league, looks good. He led the batters in the Kansas state league in 1909 with a .mark of -.842 and in 1910 was second "in that aggre gation, one point behind. Joe Riggert Jwtio starred with Omaha In the latter part of the season and who was draft ed at the close of the season. Miller had the exceptional fielding average of .973. He played at short as well as in the outfield but his position is in the gardens. STAGG ATTrBLTTCS VXD I'll FTRTC. t Daily Maroon Severely Criticises Pres ent Chicago Athletics. Chicago, Feb. 2. Severe criticisms of the athletic department of the Uni versity of Chicago are made by the Dally Maroon, the undergraduate newspaper of the institution, in its is sue of yesterday. In addition to charging the univer sity with proselyting for students with records in athletics, the Maroon at tacks intercollegiate athletics in general. Some of the charges are: Candidates for the football team are kept at work so long that they cannot make even a pretense of studying. Students enter the university large ly because of the opportunity of exer cising their athletic prowess. That 99 per cent of the students take no part in athletics except to shriek from the bleachers.- That these 99 per cent have, an in sane desire to win and do. not honor any team which falls to come home with the spoils. That the remaining one per cent which" .takes part in athletics is phy sically "injured by the exercise in volved. These things explain, the article maintains, why "college alumni are not taking the active part in the af fairs of the country they should" and accounts for much of "the commercial and political dishonesty." DEAD WRESTLER MAY BE OLSON" Assumed Name In Texas. Indianapolis, Feb. 2. Charles Ol son, the Indianapolis wrestler, who un der the name of "Harry Mayes" is sup posed to have taken part in a bout Saturday night at --marillo, Tex., with .Jos. McCray, who was known as Stanley Lake in which McCray re ceived injuries causing, his death is away from this city and is known to have signed for a number of mat bouts inTexas under an assumed name. His relatives here do not know his whereabouts, and nothing has been heard from him since McCray died. Olson is a -wrestler by profession and If the blood is poor and filled with the' poisons from diseased kidneys or inactive liver, the heart is not only starved bat poisoned a well.

HARVARD-MICHIGAN GAME. Yost's Wolverines Seem to Ba In Classy Demand. Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 2. "Hurry up" Yost and his sturdy band of Michiganders will probably be a wel come addition to the Harvard football schedule. William F. Garcelon, repre senting Harvard, has held telephone conferences with Athletic Director Bartelme of Michigan, offering to schedule the Wolverines at the local stamping grounds Nov. 11, which dato had been held for Cornell. Mr. Garcelon found the westerner ready to meet him half way, and Bar telme will probably come here when satisfactory arrangements can be con cluded. The Crimson football manage ment also is negotiating with several Southern colleges, and there is a pos sibility that Vanderbilt, Sewanee or "Virginia may round out the 1911 schedule in a way that will make it varied and interesting. Although Graduate Manager Gar celon and Messrs. Scott and Kent of Cornell deny that any breach exists between the athletic associations of the universities, it looks as if they have come to the parting of the ways. The fact that there will be no football game next fall, no basehall game and possibly no crew race this spring are not significant, say these men, of any quarrel or disagreement. FOOTBALL COMES VP FRIDAY Rules Committee Meets in New York for Two Days. New York, Feb. 2. The football rules will come up for their annual combing-out on Friday and Saturday of this week, when the rules commit tee meets at the Hotel Cumberland here. It is probable that few changes will be made. The revision of last year was a thorough going one, and the policy this year is likely to be one of "let well enough alone." The main object of the radical changes in the rules last year was fairly well accomplished the reduc tion of injuries on the gridiron. There is now no sweeping public demand for further alterations and there are no threatening cries of ,abolishing the game such as spurred the rule makers to action at that time. The rules committee is made up of Walter Camp, Yale; Park H. Davis, Princeton; Crawford Blagdon, Har vard; Alonzo A. Stagg, Chicago; Prof. L. M. Dennis.

Bob Arm strong, the big negro who was a mem ber of Jeffries' camp in Reno, will probably be employed in a few days to take charge of the training of Carl Morris, the Oklahoma fighter. This .statement was made by W. V. Stone, formerly manager of Morris, while here today. Stone, accompanied by "Kid" Bruno, who has prepared Morris for all of his fights thus far, was visiting Billy McCarney. Stone is said to have sold his interest in Morris last Saturday night for a cash consid eration of $25,000. Regarding the plana of the syndicate which purchased Mor ris, Stone said: "These men who purchased by con tract are worth, all told, about $30, 000,000. They are not prize fight pro moters, but are interested in Morris winning the title from Johnson. They will send him away to the mountains with a good trainer within the next few weeks to get in condition. Morris will probably fight again within 60 days." WASHBURN WINS FROM BAPTIST Sons of Ic-haboct Turn Defeat Into Victory of 23 to 20. Ottawa, Kan.. ?Feb. 2. In a fast game of basketball here last night the Washburn five defeated the Otta wa aggregation by the narrow margin of 23 to 20.

Worker Should Be Interested in His Company. LOYALTY DEMANDED. This Big Item in Success of the Railroad. Other Items of General Inter est in Traffic World. At a meeting of Denver, Col., branch of the American Railroad Employees and Investors' association, an address was delivered by George W. Martin, general agent of the Rock Island lines, in which he said: The suess of every institution rests primarily, first, on carefully construct ed organization, and, second, on the loyal co-operation and harmonious ef forts of the individuals comprising such organizations. Without discipline or ganization is a farce, and without har mony and loyalty success is practically impossible. The -success of any insti tution means the success of the individ ual who works for that institution." On the other hand, the failure of an -enterprise means, as a rule, loss of em ployment to those who constitute its organization and from such a source derive the means of support for them selves and their families. Why, then is not the man who works for the railroad equally, if not more, interested in the success of that road than the stock holder. The former, as a rule, without having other means of support, derives from his employment the means to meet the necessities of life for himself and those dependent on him, while the latter uses the Institution as a medium of investment, and while he expects his reward, he has, as a rule, other means ana he is not so dependent on the out come of his investment to meet the ne cessities of life, to the same extent as is the man who works for the railroad. I say this for the reason that the own ership of railroads is made up of large numbers of stockholders who represent as a rule, people of means who diver sify their Investments in such a way as not to have to depend entirely on the success or failure of any one in vestment for necessary means to meet life's problems. Loyalty Necessary to Success. I have never had the privilege of seeing more than one side, that of the employee, but my gratitude to the good company that gives me my employment is such as to inspire in me a feeling of loyalty for that institution, and an interest in its welfare and success that could hardly be exceeded or equaled by any one among the many thousands of stockholders constituting its owner ship, all of wflom, perhaps, are not in dividually dependent on the outcome of any one of their investments to the same extent as I am (without other means) dependent on my employment. I belong to the large army of those who work for railroads. All who derive their employment and support from such a source, regardless of rank or position, should give to his company the most loyal efforts of which he is capable. The men who do this are the men who succeed. The railroad organization is in some respects like the organization of our army. Many of their ablest and best officials are men who come from the ranks. In every department of rail roading the door of success is always open, and each man's loyalty and ef forts determine the degree of his suc cess. Many men lay too much stress on the thought of promotion. I believe this is a mistake, for I am convinced that if a man will devote all the time and energy of which he is capable to the problem with which he is entrust ed, he can depend on it that his future will take care of itself, and that pro motion, which inspires us all, will come when it is least expected. Suc cess means doing well, whatever may be entrusted to us, and promotion, though at times Blow, is invariably its reward. Organization Essential. Railroad organization is in many re spects like a locomotive, in that each part or portion is dependent on the other for the successful operation of the machine as a whole, and on the harmonious action of all parts and por tions depends the usefulness of the en gine. The same may be Baid of rail road organization covering the various departments. Harmony between ail the departments and harmony between the men performing the work of the depart ments Is the first prerequisite of suc cessful operation as a whole. If har mony exists among the men that vir tue must necessarily be reflected to the public on whom the railroads must de pend for their patronage. The man in charge of a department, office, shops, in fact any part of the general organiza tion, is more or less responsible for the relationship existing between the men under him. His example should be such as to Inspire among his men a feeling HIRAM P. DILLON HORACE L. HALL ROBERT PIERCE EDWARD L. COPELAND of good will and friendship "for each other, as well as a disposition and de sire to work for the success of the ad ministration of the man In charge. If such administration is a success then every man who contributes his loyal, harmonious and best efforts is entitled to his share of the credit for the suc cess of the organization as a whole. Official Responsibility. The man in charge should never fail to realize his responsibility, not only to the company for the proper conduct of its affairs, but' he should observe the Golden Rule in all his relations with those under him, on whom he must depend for hia own success as well as the success of those from whom he Is largely responsible. Most men will re spond with their best efforts for har mony and loyalty if the proper exam ple and encouragement is given them by their superiors. A man who will not respond under such treatment does not deserve membership or work under such a policy. In all branches of rail road organization, from the shops tothe line and from the line to the depart ments, may be found men of ability, integrity, sobriety, intelligence and de termination, as well as other prere quisites necessary to make them a pos itive force in the industrial and politi cal world. It is the exception where a railroad man, regardless of rank or position. Is not striving to develop his usefulness, and aa a rule we find him an honored citizen and a useful mem ber of society. HOW McKERNAN HAS CLIMBED. Supervisor of Tools of Santa Fe Began Career in Topeka. E. J. McKernan, tool, supervisor of the Santa Fe system and first vice president of he American Railway Tool Foremen's association, .com menced service with the Santa Fe as a machinist apprentice in 1890, serving in various departments, says the Railway Journal. After filling various position?, Mr McKernan was placed in charge of a force in the machine shops at To peka, and in June, 1902, was made gen eral tool foreman at the Topeka shops. He remained in this position till Jan uary, 1906, when he was promoted to be general foreman of the shops at La Junta, Col. A year later he was trans ferred to Topeka as tool expert on tha staff of the assistant superintendent of motive power and had charge of the manufacturing of tools and jigs on the system. On June 1, 1909, he was mad"! tool supervisor of the Santa Fe system, headquarters at Topeka, which ca pacity he still is filling.

Railroads Report No Big Demand for Uppers. Chicago, Feb. 2. The reduction in upper berth rates on Pullman cars had no marked effect on the demand for lower berths, though one railroad re ported that a dozen reservations of up per berths for points on the Pacific coast had been received from the east. The new rules make it possible for a person to ride In a, Pullman car be tween Chicago and the Pacific coast for $3.60 less than lie used to, provid ing he takes an upper berth. The clerk of the United States cir cuit court has received some 1.500 let ters enclosing receipts for Pullman tickets paid for at the old rates on the lines out of St. Paul during the tim the interstate commerce commission's rates were enjoined. The receipts pro vided for a refund of the difference be tween the old rates and the commis sion's reduced rates if the latter's or ders were upheld. As they were not upheld but were modified in accord ance with the general reduction offered by the Pullman company of a lesser amount a technical question has arisen as to the amount of the refund.

Green, 89 years old. an inmate of the I. O. O. F. home at Eureka Lake, whe died last week, had a record for matri mony which has seldom been equalled. She had been married Ave times and lived with each of the Ave husbands until they died. Mrs. Green was born in. New Jersey. Early in life she became a professional nurse and for a good many years she was with the Belvue hospital in New York city. Twenty-five years ago she came to Topeka where she followed her profession for about 20 years. While in Topeka she attended the births of near ly 200 children. She had a great many friends in Topeka. Fifteen years ago after her last hus band had been dead for several years, Mrs. Green went to George Palmer, a Topeka undertaker, and paid for her casket and other funeral expenses. She did this as a matter of preparation aa she was then over 70 years old. She took a receipt from Mr. Palmer and about five years ago she came to the I. O. O. F. home. She was admitted on account of Mr. Green having been a member of that lodge. In 1908 George Palmer, the Topeka undertaker who had agreed to look af ter Mrs. Green's body when she died; sold out to W. H. Bomgardner and in the transaction Mr. Bomgardner agreed to furnish a casket and bury Mrs. Green. On October 24, 1908, George W. Suthern, a local undertaker, received a letter from Mr. Bomgardner, instruct ing Mr. Southern to take charge of Mrs. Green's body should she happen to die while in the home. So today Mr. South ern shipped the body to Mr. Bomgard ner who will conduct the funeral and pay Mr. Southern for the casket for which Mrs. Green paid 15 years ago. "Mrs. Green was one of the oldest members of the home." said Superin tendent Piersol, of the home. "She came here from Topeka nearly five years ago. She was loved by all who knew her. She was a great reader and al ways did much of it until two or iree weeks ago when her eyes failed her. When she was told by her doctor that her eyes could not be helped, the old lady was heartbroken, and I believe from that moment on she was ready to die and wanted to die. She has hun dreds of friends in Topeka." Mr. Piersol could not give the names of the five husbands of Mrs. Green nor the date of her first marriage. She was never divorced. She outlived her five husbands. ary and a total deficit of nearly $4, 000,000, of which fully $3,000,000 rep resents Panama canal payments. Prac tically the same showing was made in January a year ago. The total deficit to date of the fiscal year is only $21, 000,000 as against $45,000,000 last year. A drop in receipts to $52,000,000 as against $57,000,000 in December is t"he prime cause of this month's deficiency. Disbursements were $52,200,000, a half million less than in December.

In spite of a strong rally in the last six days of the month, the treasury closed January with a deficit of $267,000 in the ordin- Washington. Feb. 2. "In a month's time we will be called upon to enact the repiprocity agreement with Canada into a law; but I don't know what we are going to do with it we will only have to come to a compromise that cares for the industries of all our peo ple." This was Speaker Cannon's declara tion at the banquet of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, in a speech in which he defended the Payne-AIdrich tariff act as the best revenue measure ever enacted, adding he had no apology to make for it in any respect. "The people have given the Demo crats a majority of 67 in the next house," said the speaker, "and they have made great gains in the senate. God knows, I don't want Champ Clark booted and spurred I have great re spect for him, but he does not rep resent the same school of thought that I do.

There's a Reason" 1 Postum Cereal Company, Ltd. Battle Creek, Michigan El Dorado Kan., Feb. 2. With a steam traction engine for motive power J. H. Cherryholmes, 4 miles north of ElDorado, is uprooting 2.880 apple trees 60 acres of what was the finest or chard Butler county has ever seen and preparing to plant the valuable land in corn. Probably no country has ever witnessed such a wholesale pull ing of fruit trees. Ten acres, with 48 trees to the acre, have already been pulled. A traction engine owned by Lee Inskeeps was used. Work was stopped when Inskeeps began to prepare for the threshing sea son. Cherryholmes has secured a heavier engine from R. H. Hazlett and will resume his wholesale grubbing within a few days- Contrary to custom the trees are not chopped and the roots loosened before pulling. A -inch steel wire cable is looped high on the tree; the traction engine starts and up comes tree, roots and a considerable section of ground. With Hazlett's heavy engine, Cherry holmes -is planning to pull two rows simultaneously. The cable will be at tached to a tree from each row he fore the engine starts. Pulling trees singlv. a record or v trees, uprooted from the ground and piled aside, was made in 50 seconds. With two wire cables in use at least 70 trees, it is expected, will leave the ground in a minute's work. The orchard was purchased by Cher ryholmes three years ago. It was planted by J. J. Johnson more than 20 years ago and has been known as the finest apple orchard in this section. It became infected with worms and later, when Johnson's barn across the road burned, the blaze jumped and in jured many trees. A year ago n"" holmes decided to get rid of the or chard Ten acres was removed ana. after being manured, planted to corn. That 10 acre plot, fertilized by the leave droppings of 20 years, raised the ban ner corn of southern Kansas. The success of this experiment set tled all question of the orchard s util ity In Cherryholmes' mind. He engag ed the traction engine and began to pull. Only 10 acres of the once impos ing orchard will remain when the pull ing ceases. These are the pick of the grove. The orchard produces winesap Ben Davis, Missouri pippin and several other grades of apples. How to dispose of the trees, after they have been rooted, has also been a serious question for Mr Cherryholmes to solve. To help him in this he has notified the public that anyone may have the wood by merely hauling it off his land. They may eve n strip the limbs and he will burn the trash left. wholesale changing from or- ,.5nitii7v land has never vZ ntv. nor to old fruit men and farmers. The use ol l a traction engine as a tree puller is also unique in Kansas aiuian HEART BALM CASE EXECUTION Miss McKee's Attorneys Take Steps to Collect $10,000 Judgment.

Comments Upon the Semi-Centennial of Sunflower State. New Tork, Feb. 2. In an editorial on the subject, "Kansas Celebrates," the New York Tribune-says: .Kansas celebrated Sunday the fif tieth anniversary of Its admission into the union. The state's early history was stirring and dramatic, as were its experiences as a territory seeking ad mission. The slave istates objected to its entrance on any terms which would shut out slavery, because a free com monwealth west of Missouri would cir cumscribe slavery territory and Btop the march of the "peculiar institu tion" toward the Pacific. From the time that Kansas became a territory in 1854, under the guarantees of the Kansas-Nebraska act, allowing its people to determine for themselves the question of recognizing or excluding slavery, its soil was fighting ground for north and south, and control of its destinies as a state was the prize in a desperate struggle between the ad herents and opponents of the slavery system.' Its first constitution adopted on November 12, 1855, and ratified by the people on December 15, 1855 was re jected by the United States senate. The slave power was then triumphant at Washington and federal pressure was brought to bear to induce the people of Kansas to purchase admis sion by making concessions to south ern wishes and policies. A second constitution, known as the Lecompton constitution, was adopted by a com placent state convention on November 7, 1857, and congress hastened to pass a law admitting the state on the rati fication of that instrument. But the voters rejected the Lecompton consti tution January 4, 1859, preferring freedom to statehood. After 1858 the nfluence of the slave states rapidly declined and October 4 1859, Kansas voters ratified the Wyandotte constitu tion, under which admission was se cured near the close of President Bu chanan's administration. The population of Kansas in i860 was 107.206. Its population in 181U was 1.690.949. Its development as an agricultural state was checked lor a time late in tne bus, wnen iuw pnuea anil excessive speculation in land rht about, a crash in farm lands. But the period of depression was onei and Kansas is today one of the most prosperous, progressive and aggressive of the prairie states. in its aajs oi ease and contentment it can look back with nrlde to the dangers and sacri fices of its earliest history the heroic ac. in wViirVh its character was moiaea. Its struggles for statehood contributed motor a v tn tne cause OI rree institu tions, as on its soil occurred tne r-iashos which rjresaged civil war. Sntrt William H.

Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very distressing symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, extreme nervousness and despondency are symptoms of this condition. Those hot flashes are just so many calls from nature for help. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. If this period is safely passed through the prospect will be good, for a long period of sound health and comparative immunity from disease. Here isProof that Lydia E.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. The sugar trust was well named. Some of Its preferred stockholders are anxious to get about $10,000,000 of the delectable flavor that was ab sorbed by Its organizers. In all probability, the reluctance of women to serve on Juries, is due to the fact that after they have arrived at a verdict, and delivered It to the court, it will not be possible for them to change their minds effectively. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer and successor to the late John Alexander Dowie, appears to be a Christian of a peculiar type. He would drive all oth er churches but his own out of Zion City. In other words, Mr. Voliva is of the caliber of a peanut.' There seems to be no abatement of the usual activities among the pugi lists in the heavyweight class. From Jack Johnson down, they are all chewing the rag, whenever they can find a newspaper reporter or a sport ing editor who Is willing to put what they say in print. As was to have been expected, re ports are to the effect that the wealthy Miss Arnold of New York, who has been missing for several weeks, has been located at the same time in a dozen or more places scat tered all over the country. About the most important occurrence that has transpired Jn th United States In a longtime was described In the news dispatches from Washington to the effect that United States Sena tors Depew of New York, and Jeff Davis of Arkansas sHook hands the other day. Kansas may be fifty years old, ac cording to 4he way age is figured by the calendars, but she certainly doesn't act it. Her bloom of youth, which is evidenced by the fact that she is always striving for better and larger things, puts her In the same class with the man who is only as old as he feels It only took three hours' time for the United States senate to decide that it was advisable to pass the riv er and harbors appropriation bill, which carries with it an appropria tion of no less than $36,000,000. This is only another indication that "pork" is palatable even if it does come high nowadays. George E. Roberts, director of the mint, gays that countless millions of dollars will flow from Canada to Tan. kee merchants under the reciprocity treaty which President Taft has ne gotiated and which is pending before congress. That's another pretty good argument why congress should look with favor on this proposition. .Reports from Alberta. Can., are to the effect that Kansas spinsters can find good homes there if .they are will ing to follow the procession that Dan Cupid leads to the matrimonial altar. But if the Kansas spinsters are wise they will realize' that they can do much better within the confines of their native state if they are so dis posed. A news dispatch from Washington stated the other day that "senatorial courtesy" had been trailed In the dust by the Irrepressible Jeff Davis of Ark ansas. The chances are that Jeff is not entirely familiar with the mean ing of the word "courtesy," and it Is also probable that he has again fall en off the water wagon. When Jeff is a passenger on this vehicle he is as quiet and tractable as a lamb. Sarah Bernhardt' reputation as an actress has been enhanced consider ably. Public authority in Philadelphia has decided that she cannot produce La Samaritaine in that city. Neither does this interfere much with the Dl r'ne Sarah's art. She has not been prohibited yet from wearing that "nightie" which .it is possible to slip through a finger ring. That is her greatest claim for distinction. Congress will repair a singular omission in military legislation, points out the Now Tork Tribune, if it passes a pending bill allowing the secretary of war to drop from the rolls army officers absent without leave for mora than three months. Officers whose absence has been enforced by jail sentences must now be carried on the rolls because they cannot bo court martialed. Such a situation belongs to comic opera, not to the serious en vironment of military life. THE STATE FAIR. The necessities of Kansas are not so very many in these days of grace. Paramount among them, however, Is a state fair, an agricultural exposition developed and supported by the whole commonwealth, which will be com mensurate with its agricultural su premacy. That such a fair is not al ready in existence does not speak very well for the intelligence and discern ment of the various legislatures of the past. Still, it is always better late than never, and the present legislature should take advantage of its oppor tunities in this particular. And in this connection the essential thing is for legislative determination that such an adjunct to state develop ment should be. established. The question of locating the; state fair is of secondary importance; ".exeept that the most desirable place for locating should be selected. So far as the mat ter has proceeded in the present leg islative session it merely concerns the introduction of bills to appropriate certain sums of money to locate the state fair at either one of two places, Hutchinson or Topeka. There is something of a counter proposition in a bill to give 'state aid to as many as twenty-five county fairs. And in a general consideration of creating a state fair, this latter suggestion might not be amiss, for a number of county fairs of the right sort would be the best kind of feeders for a state fair, and make it more worth while as be ing representative of the agricultural possibilities of the state. But to cast aside the creation of a real state fair for the establishment of several coun ty fairs would destroy the- purposes of the whole endeavor. As between Topeka and Hutchinson for the location of the fair, the capital city of the state would appear to have many advantages. They are not to be found alone 3n the fact that the To peka fair grounds are superior in every detail to those of Hutchinson, nor in the further fact that the peo ple of Shawnee county have voted $50,000 in bonds to help make the Topeka fair worthy of. .being a nucleus for a state fair. More impor tant is the other fact that Topeka is a much larger center of population than is Hutchinson, and this should be a controlling factor in the location of a state fair. Mr. Sponsler, the sec retary of the Hutchinson fair, made this point clear in an address he de livered on the subject before the an nual convention of the stock breeders of Kansas which was held a couple of weeks ago. He made light of the compromise suggestion that the state ?lr should be located at Manhattan. He insisted that the more successful the various state fairg throughout the nation, the nearer was their location to the larger cities in their respective commonwealths. And on this score, Hutchinson's pop-1 ulation of 16,000 does not compare very favorably with Topeka's popula tion of 43,000. But the matter of lo-j cation is not so important as is the decision for the state to have an ade quate agricultural exposition. That is the first thing for the legislature to decide. If it is deemed wise, the loca- I tion of the fair might well be left to the state board of agriculture, which j should have charge of it, or to a spe- I cial commission to be selected, by the legislature or the governor, or in any way that might be thought best. A state fair is the main thing, and it is to be hoped that the present legisla ture will provide the means to develop one. 1 INDICATIONS OF PROSPERITY. That the year 1910 must have been a reasonably prosperous one in the United States is indicated by the fig ures of importation of the class of ar ticles usually termed "luxuries." No more satisfactory barometer of general business conditions is found than the figures representing the importation of articles purely or chiefly luxuries. including diamonds and other precious stones, laces, art works.wines, tobacco and manufactures thereof, and other articles of this character. This Is illustrated by a glance at the yearly record of imports as recorded by the bureau of statistics of the de partment of commerce and labor. In years of marked depression. 1894 and 1895, for example, the value of dia monds and other precious stones im ported dropped from 16 million dol lars In 1893 to 54 million in 1894, 7 million In 1895, and about 6 million in 1896; gradually moving upward again until 1899 and 1900 and reach ing a total of 33 million in 1903 to 42 million in 1907. In the fiscal year 1908, a year of business depression, the total fell to 19 million dollar, returning to 29 million in 1909 and 48 million In the fiscal year 1910, while the figures of the calendar year will not materially differ from those of the fiscal year. The figures of diamond importations above cited are merely an example of the evidences of prosperity supplied by the figures of imports. In automo biles, art works, laces, feathers, furs, wines and liquors, tobacco, decorated chinaware, and numerous other arti cles named in the list of importations, the figures of 1910 are large, and the importation of articles usually classed as "luxuries" will show a total of be tween 200 and 300 million dollars' value. Of laces and embroideries alone the value imported during the year just ended approximated 45 mil lion dollars, a very large proportion of which was of cotton. Thi? class of importations also shows considerable fluctuations according to conditions of prosperity or otherwise though the fluctuations are not as great as in the case of diamonds. The value of cot ton laces, embroideries, etc., imported in the fiscal year 1893 was 12 mil lion dollars and dropped In 1894 to 8 million dollars. Again in the 1907-8 period of depression, the value of im portations of this class dropped from 89 million dollars in the fiscal year 1907 to 33 million In 1908. return ing to 34 million in 1909 and 36 million in 1910. Among the other articles of impor tation, in 1910 which are usually classed as luxuries are: Silk laces 4 million dollars; laces of flax and oth er similar-fibers, 4 million; tobacco, cigars, etc.. 38 million;, furs and fur skins, 25 millions art works,' 21 mil lion; spirits, wines and liquors, 20 million; feathers and flowers, natural and artificial. 11 million- toys, 8 mil lion; mahogany, 3 million; jewelry, 2 million; manufactures of gold and silver, 2 million; and beads and orna ments, perfumeries, cosmetics, shells, orchids, nines and smokers' articles. and musical instruments in various sums between 1 million and 2 million dollars each. tti Tirinoinal sources from which thKA luxuries are drawn are. In the case of manufactures, Europe; in the case of tobacco, mahogany and other articles of this class, the tropical sec tions; while the 25 million dollars' worth of furs and fur skins originate larsrelv. of course, in the frigid or semi-frigid sections of the world. Most of the ImDorted laces, whether of cot ton, flax or silk, are made in Switzer land, France, Germany, Belgium, Eng land and Ireland: most of the tobacco and cigars come from Cuba; most of th art works "from various European countries, and most of the toys from Germany.

J A YHA WKER JOTS Mankato's electric lights, reports the Advocate, are still in the dim future, but, in the language of the St. Louis alderman. "Ve haf got der moon yet, aln'dt it." Something in the nature of a fish story from the Beloit Call: Andy Walker, a deputy game warden, heard that fishing was extra good out south of Cawker, last week, so armed with a camera he visited that locality. In one place he found five men armed with spears, forks, etc., gathered about 6ome holes in the ice raking out members of the finny tribe in great shape. Mir. Walker Joined the crowd but didn't make known his official standing. The stranger grew enthusiastic over the big "catch" and proposed to the fishers that a snap shot be taken of the scene so as to show their friends what real fishing looked like. The fishers were only too willing and arranged matters so that not only themselves, but the fish and accoutrements for catching them would make a good showing in the picture. After taking the view Mr. Walker invited his late found com panions to repair to the presence of a police ottlcer, wnere tney paid a $5 fine each without further ado. I'll tell you, my friend, it'B all- fired easy to smile and be gay and preach optimism when things are coming our way, writes Deacon Walk er in his Osborne Farmer. It Is a snap to be a good fellow when pros perity and good luck is piling up in our front yard faster than we can bale it up. Anybody can be an op timist on a full stomach. But it takes mettle to smile and be gay and howl optimism when the "winds of advers ity are chilling our marrow and every man we meet sticks a bill under our nose and we have to stand him off. It takes all the gayness out of a man to wake up of a winter morning with the knowledge that there is only one bucket of coal in the cellar and no potatoes or meat in the house and no credit at the stores. A fel low is apt to be a little weak in the knees when he looks at his load and then up the long slippery hill that stands between him and prosperity. A big per cent of the Roaring lions lie down and burrow in the pround just like the ordinary Cottontail Rab bit. So when you happen to meet some unfortunate devil down on his luck, while things are coming your way, be a little charitable to him. Give him a smile anyway. Some day the wheels of fortune may spin around and you will stand In his shoes and he may pay back the smile with a little interest. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.!

The Prospect !of securing the adop tion of a permanent tariff commis sion law during the present session of congress is now regarded at Wash ington as very encouraging.

The addresses made at the recent convention of the National Tariff Commission association, at Washing ton, must have impressed congress with the strength of public sentiment that is behind this movement. John Candler Cobb, the president of the association, declared that he did not believe that selfishness and avarice would control men's attitude toward tariff making if the log rolling and personal scramble inseparable from the present system can be eliminated.

FROM 013ER PENS MUNICIPAL MUSIC. Socialism has been popular in Milwau kee for some years, and various experi ments have been tried from time to time in the hope of working out some of the pet theories of benevolent frater nallsm. entertained by those who be lieve that it is the function of the gov ernment to supervise practically every thing the individual does. One of the propositions advanced by the Milwau kee social reconstructors was to give the people free music of good quality. So every Sunday afternoon for some time past high class orchestras have been giving concerts, which the people were invited to attend virtually without cost, the admission being only 10 cents. Even at this low rate so few of the people of Milwaukee proved to be music lovers that the concerts have cost the city about $250 apiece in deficit of re ceipts. Now "the question is whether Milwaukee can stand for an Investment in the musical education of the public. Is it worth while to spend money at the rate of $250 a week in the hope of evolving a popular taste in Wagner. Bach, Handel, Listz, Grieg and the oth er masters of melody and harmony? Perhaps the concerts would be more generally attended if concessions were made to the tjresent state of public mus ical taste and to the popular desire for the inclusion in the programs of light er forms of composition. Municipal so cialism must make some allowances for the artistic as well as the political in ability of the average citizen to ap preciate the advantages of official altruism.-Washington Star. MODERNIZING JOHN BULL. British public opinion has always op posed the arming of the police of large cities, and up to the present time the great army of London bobbies has had no other weapon than the ordinary club or billie with which to subdue evildoers. English ruffians and criminals have heretofore Beldom used firearms, and for that reason it was not believed that the police needed the protection which the policemen of other countries found essential. The recent killing of several London policemen by armed robbers and the murderous resistance made by a couple of anarchists barricaded in a house have greatly jarred English public opin ion, and there is now a pretty general demand that the authorities provide the London police With suitable revolvers for use when necessary. The police of all American cities are armed with pistols, as a matter of course, and on the continent of Europe the city police are invariably armed with pistols and the rural police with carbines. The Ger man policemen have not only the revol ver, but the saber as well. With the growth of anarchy and the greater number of the rough classes in the great cities of the present day an armed police is a necessity. The ruffian and lawbreaker is habitually armed with the very best weapons, hence to pit against them unarmed policemen is worse than useless. New Orleans Picayune. UNCOVERING THE HOARDS. The experience is yet too short to i a ffnita nninloTi as to whether the experimental postal savings bank Will accomplish Its purpose, iwijuiu indicate, however, that the people have taken kindly to the innovation, which is Important and significant. While the postmaster general is asking con gress to give him money to rent quar ters for the clerical machinery of the new service evidence accumulates that the bank is justifying the labor and ex pense of Its introduction. As people in this section of the coun try remember, the bank at Ashtabula opened under auspices that seemed to promise a high degree of usefulness. Depositors in considerable numbers were ready to patronize it which is about all the advocates of the bank could wish. An incident reported from the postal bank at Dubois, Pa., indicates that the public has full confidence, without which the bank wuold lose its chief usefulness. One man entered the post office with $1,700 in currency which he had been hoarding and which he de sired to place in the safekeeping of tha federal government. He had been afraid to deposit the money in a bank, and was anxious to leave it in the govern ment's hands at half the interest he could have got elsewhere. Of course, he could deposit only a part of his hoard in the postal bank. Cleveland Plain Dealer. ME AND MINE. A heart poured forth to the cup of love.

Irwin, in the Smart Set. White House and Society. The latest news from Washington is welcome. Everybody, we read, not only there, but also in the other great American cities, is convinced that the direction of the social lif nf tho rani. tal, and, in due course, the intellectual life, not only of Washington, but of the nation, should emanate from the White House. How any one could ever have been so unpatriotic as to think otherwise must baffle the simple-minded reader of the authoritative Sunday supplement. Yet it seems in contestable that, for ,a considerable period, the president has not enjoyed that prestige in society which it is to the advantage of the country that he should possess; and that the first lady of the land has by no means held the enviable position of dictatorship which her fellow-countrymen have fondly imagined her as exercising. Now, however, all is as it should be. Even society, we are told. Is ready to accept the White House as arbiter in those delicate questions of prece dence among diplomats and politi cians that have prevented the co hesion of Washington society, as well as prolonged discussion of these mat ters to the exclusion of more intelli gent conversation. The "social mis sion" of President and Mrs. Taft "is encountering no serious resistance." They "are not carrying on any sort of warfare with those who have, un til now, regarded themselves as lead ers. But they have quietly brought the latter into a position of subjection to their influence, and it has been done so unobtrusively that there has been no revolt." It was high time that something was done to restore the social scep ter to its rightful holders. The early residents of Washington, we are in formed, while jealous of their newly won political independence, offered no opposition to the social dictates of the first president. As that estimable gentleman had died before the remov al of the capital from Philadelphia, the forbearance of the first Washing tonians is evident. This may also be the reason for the decline of authority under his successors. That "a some what chaotic condition of affairs en sued," is not, under the circum stances, surprising, however, painful it is to the genuine democrat to learn that "no -one dreamed of asking for a ruling from the White House upon these issues" of social procedure. We regard it, indeed, as a peculiarly ag gravated form of treason for the gay world of our secondary social centers. New. York, Philadelphia,- Boston, Bal timore -the reader-is requested to ar range these cities in his own preferred order to have given foreigners the Impression that, while the president might -be a great statesman, he and his family were social nonentities.- The result was inevitable. Instead of the social solidarity that is essential for the favorable development of a polity like" ours, there were only cliques. "There was the purely ad ministrative clique, and the diplomatic clique, the clique of old residents," the new-rich' clique, the political clique, the judiciary clique, the army and navy clique and many more. Fortunately, the formation of a certain club saved the day. Its membership, by a stroke of genius, was so constituted as to In clude the best men from almost every clique, the qualification?" being absurd ly, if not unjustifiably, few: good breeding and a good record. Danger ous as such an arrangement undoubt edly was, the club not only prospered, but had the remarkable effect of bringing even the ladies of different cliques together in a friendly way. They began to wrestle with the prob lem of social control by attempting a kind of board of management, for the purpose, we are solemnly told, of "de vising" already "established" rules of determining issues "that aro constant ly arising, and of passing upon the candidacy of those asniring for ad mission within the portals of Wash ington society." It almost makes one lose ihls remnant of faith in human nature to read that even these efforts were "only partially crowned with suc cess. Some of the most aggressive it appears, managed to usurp a degree of influence to which they were not en titled, one ambitious lady inaugurat ing a social boycott against her official superior, so that at last ev.i the easy going predecessor of the present chief executive was compelled to interfere. Since then the White House has had more of the social prestige and au thority than it had enjoyed under the posthumous influence of the first pres ident. The failure by President Roose velt, however, to eliminate from Wash ington society a family that had been boycotted in New York, with the re sentment of the very Washington so ciety which has been so slow to learn the .advantages of social authority, prevented the movement from reach ing that complete absolutism which is in accord with the spirit of our in stitutions. Foreign diplomats persist ed in defying the president by receiv ing, visiting and entertaining persons against whom he had pronounced a ban. The difficult situation which this created for President Taft can be imagined. That he has, in spite of it. been able to go so far as he has in re-establishing the social leader ship of the White House, must weigh heavily in any -just estimate of his ad ministration. Every good American will wish success to the effort report ed to be now making to render presi dential invitations at once objects of esteem and indications ox whom one may recognize without forfeiting his claim to respectability. New York Evening Post. Madero's Property Safe. We shall be very much surprised if the Mexican government confiscates the estate of Francesco Madero. It has been reported that th government would do so. In Mexico they do not indulge in that form of resentment and reprisal. When Lerdo de Tejada fled before the victorious advance of Porflrio Diaz in 1877 he came to this town, and for many years lived In state at a hotel, where hU revenues reached him regularly. When Gen eral Escorbedo and General Enrique Mexia, who had been exiles during Diaz's first term, returned to Mexico ,in 1880 they found their property in tact. W nen )UUlli$llutuluo muo unn. ished in 1890, his hacienda, near Es peranza remained untouched. The Mexicans, in fact, are great respectors of the personal belongings even of those whom they have ejected. Our opinion is that this custom still pre vails and that Madero's property will not be disturbed in any way by the, government. New York Sun THE EVENING STORY The Hermit Woman. (By Virginia Blair.) When Windham found her on one of his hunting trips in the mountains he knew that her life held a problem. No woman goes voluntarily into exile without some reason. The people of the mountain side called her "The Hermit Woman," and the name fitted her, although she did not live the frugal life usually ascribed to those who seek solitude. Her bungalow was built somewhat luxuriously and two colored servants made her comfortable. But except for the servants she was always alone. It was said that she spoke to no one, but Windham, challenging this statement, forced a frigid "Good morning" from her as he passed the garden where she worked among the roses. After that he often passed the garden. It was a wonder spot in- the clear space among the tall, old trees. "She likes roses." he said to him self. "I'll bring' her some, and she'll have to thank me for them." The next time he went to the city he sought a florist, and came back with a box in which lay a dozen long budded golden beauties He took them from their wrappings and car ried the bunch to her leaning over the gate as he proffered them. "They're a new kind." he said easily. "I thought you mis-ht likn to see them. She was kneeline- hv nn nt :v beds, digging about the roots of a bush, and she looked up at him with startled eyes. No," she said icil. "I've never seen them; they are very pretty." He held them out to her. "I brought them for you." She drew back a little and shook her head. "Thank you," she said, dui x a ratner not. His chin set in a determined square. His eyes met hem with a challenge. Then I'll leave them on ton of th gate," he said lightly, and laid them there and went awaj. When he came back the next day the faded flowers were where he had left them. "It was a pity." he said. to let them die." "I thought it Was vou who nut them there to die," she said. Her dark head was hpnt nvar Tinr flowers. She looked very slender and girlish in her whito morning gown; a wiae hat lay on the grass beside her wreathed with roses. Windham wondered that she didn't lose her interest in nrettv nlnthae. Although so far away from all social oDiigations, she still kept herself up to the highest standard of dainty leiiuiiliilLy. "Perhaps," he said, "if they had been pink you would not let them die." "Why?" "You like pink," he said with de cision. "The roses on your hat. the gown you wore yesterday morning, the scarf that was around yopr head the nrsi night I saw you all were rose color." She rose and said with mm cision, "I must go In. I think vou are presuming a little Mr. "Windham," said the man at the gate. i think I gavo you my ere dentials when my landlord Intrn duced us the day we came over tn nsk aoout tne nunting privilege." "I did not ask for your credentials," she tola him. "I am up here to be alone." s. j He saw that it would t mnirs his case better by staying, so he went away. y' And .that night there was a great storm on. the mountain. The wind blew and the rain came, the light ning blazed across the heavens, and the thunder was a ceaseless cannon ade. Windham, beating his way against tne wina, made nls way to the bunga low oi tne nermit woman. He found her crouched in the corner of the porch. The two negroes were wail ing in the kitchen. "Are you afraid?" he shouted, and she came to him. "I have never been alone in a storm before," she said. "I was afraid to stay in the house, afraid to be out. yet it was better to face It." "You should never be alone." he said. "Why haven't you some one to take care or you? They were standing in the middle of the big living room. "You need some one to take care of you," he continued. "Where are your people?" "It Is because of them that I came away," she told him. "My father gave me a stepmother, my brothers hated me because my- mother, left me her money. There was never a moment or peace or happiness, so 1 came up here away from the world. I don't want them to find me. I don't want ever to 'go back to them." "Play for me," he said. "I haven t heard any music since I came up here." She went to the piano in the alcove and lighted the candles. Then she played, and Windham sat in a great chair by the fireplace and listened. Presently one of the old darkies came In with tea on a tray, and they had it together, socially. The storm had rolled into the dis tance. There was a light patter of rain on the leaves outside, and now and then a golden flash. I am glad you came, the girl said, and held out her hand to him as he rose to go. "I shall come again," he told her. "Will you play for me?" "Yes," she said, and went to the door with him. Then as she looked out into the darkness of the night, she faltered. "For the first time I feel lonely." The next day he went to tha city. Again he visited the florist, but this time he brought back pink pointed buds, like seashells, and this time she did not let them die. She cher ished them for many days. But there came a cay when he brought her white rose", a day when his mothere came with him from the city, and his sister, and a few of his dearest friends, but the hermit wom an had none of her family a family who had hated and scorned her and had spoiled her peace. Thy people shall be my people. she whispered to Windham the morn ing of her wedding day "Whither thou goest I will go." "Then you will give up your soli- itude?" "I will give up everythinr for you. was the answer which satisfied him. (Copyrighted 1911 by Associated Lit erary Press.) Wolves in the Sheep Fold. Viewing with alarm the decrease in the number of sheep in Texas from four and a half millions to less than a million and a dalf in ten years, and rrmly believing that the greatest causes of this depletion are the coy ote and the labo wolr, the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers' association, in an nual session here, resolved to make strenuous efforts to procure congres sional and legislative aid in extermi nating the predatory animals named and to elicit the assistance of all Western organizations, including thj Trans-Mississippi congress the cto raisers, the hog naisers. the Pu'"2 raisera, the sheep and goat raisers, arw wool men, and all commercial bodies possible. V So urgent did the sheep and goai men consider this movement that tnej devoted several hours to its considera tion. It was shown that the United States last year produced only a JJ"j7 tion more wool than was importeo. that, where there were 2.226,000 sheep in Texas in 1884, there were only L 400,000 in 1909, and that the steady decrease in sheep stock indicates corresponding decrease in wool pro duction and a natural Increase in tne quantity of wool Imported. The deP! dations of wild animals were brandea the scourge of the sheep, goat ana wool business. The association resolve dto place be fore the Trans-Mississippi congress resolution calling on the federal gov ernment to appropriate $50,000 for each state in which the various live stock industries suffer from wild ani mal .depredations, each state to ap- propriate a like amount, this $100,000 to be set aside as a wolf bounty fund.

"I believe my fate is not unlike that of thousands of other workers who dally lose their places for reasons they do not know, and probably would not believe. When their last pay envel ope comes along, i'; is usually, 'Tour services are no longer required.' If the truth were known, the reason for their unceremonious removal would probab ly be that their usefulness was de stroyed because of some mental worry, bodily ailment or generai indisposition. These things, as we all know, are the most fruitful causes of failure in all walks of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost because of a headache. In this quick age our minds must be clear, rapid, active and free from out side Influence of worry, or else We go down to failure with the throng or "floaters" who go from one place of employment to another, giving no. sat isfaction to others or to themselves, constantly growing older and less use ful, with no ambition, no will power, and no hope. Every man requires from every oth er man the best that is in him. But no man can use or get the best that is in himself until he is first free from all fretful indispositions and worries. That was my trouble. I was full of troubles. That's why I lost my job. My stomach in the first place was al ways out of order, and I wa; worrying about it and my mmd grew cloudy, and slow. I made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That was the end. There are thousands like me, going about with "quick lunch faces, dys peptic manners, and repulsive atmos pheres. No employer wants such men's services. Take my advice. A healthy stomach is half the battle, for it keeps your mind clear, and your face rosy. I have a healthy stomach now and hold a good position, and my employer is satisfied and so am I. I started to take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which I- was told were good for the worst cases of indigestion and dyspepsia. The first two tablets made a wonderful difference in my condi tion. One ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digests 3,000 grains of food. The stomach doesn't have to work at all. The Tablets do all the work, no matter how heavy your meal. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure brash, eructations burning sensation, bloat, irritations, loss of appetite. nausea, heartburn, lack of energy, loss of memory and dyspepsia and indiges tion in their very worst forms. No other little tablets in the world can do so much. You should carry them around with you wherever you go and take them regularly after meals. Then you will realize what it is to be freed from stomach torment, and have a clear mind a quick mem ory, a happy disposition, comfort and rest.

The fourteenth annual meeting of the Kansas Grain Dealers' association will be held in Kansas City. Mo., February 22-24. Two hundred of the members subsequent to. the adjournment win leave on a. sDecial tour to New Orleans and return for the Mardi Gras festival. Nearly a dozen Topeka people will be in the party. A $25 return rate has been granted for the trip. Secretary E. J. Smiley, of the Kan sas Grain Dealers' association states that the condition of the wheat in Kansas has not changed within the last 60 days. "In the eastern two-thirds of the state," said he this afternoon, "the condition is fair to good, while in the western third 60 per cent of the wheat sown has not germinated due to con tinued dry weather. There has been no rain there since November." "The Clean Life" will be the subject of an address which will be given next Wednesday noon at the Central T. M. C. A. by B. F. McMillan, representative from Mitchell county. This is one of the talks in the series known as "Prac tical Talks by Practical Men." The fol lowing week Secretary F. D. Coburn will speak on "A Few Hints on Letter Writing." Another talk in the series will be by Dr. R. S. Magee on "The Eye, Use and Abuse." The executive committee of the lay men's missionary organization will hold a meeting Monday evening at the Cen tral T. M. C. A. at which time plans will be made for more systematic or ganization on the part of the churches of the city. The committee "will urge that a missionary committee be ap pointed in every church, and that the weekly offering system be universally adopted. Then a plan will be formula ted for systematic- missionary educa tion. The gas bills for the last month have been the largest in the history of the city according to the com plaints coming in from every section of the city. Every other person is giving his tale of woe. Even though many people used coal in the fiercest part of the cold snap the first of the year and what gas was used was low, the bills are larger than ever. The technical explanation of the fact that there is no air in the pipes is high sounding, but it doesn't stop the gfts meters. Dr. W. W. Yates haB just had an experience which demonstrates that the saying that there is honor among thieves is at least sometimes correct. The doctor was relieved of his pocket book which contained several dollars in cash, two notes, one of which was for $85, a business card, and some post age stamps. Later Dr. Yates received through th mail the pocketbook. The card had been glued on the outside of it and also the postage stamps had been atached to the wallet. The notes were intact. The friendly visitors class of the Provident association is proving a great success, although it is hoped that more of the churches of the city will later take up the work. There are now nine in the class, 'and they are studying social conditions aside from being assigned poor families to call upon occasionally to see that their wants are provided for. The Second United Brethren, the Westmin ster Presbyterian church and the Wes leyan M. E. church now have repre sentatives in the class. A campaign for a thousand new bene ficiary members to be initiated on the last day of March, will be inaugura ted by the Knights Ladies of Secur ity, at the union meeting to be held in Security hall, Friday evening, Feb ruary 3.

Those who have superstitions regarding the number 13 will have no cause for uneasiness over the assignments of new street num bers itl'the downtown district of Chi cago.

Notices of the new numbers that must be put in place by April 1 on ever building between the river on the north and west, the lake on the east, and Twelfth street" on the south have been sent out and "nowhere on the list could a 13 be found. Many inquiries from property own ers, who calculated their numbers from the base lines of Madison street and State street had warned Super intendent Riley of the protests that would follow the attachment of the un lucky omen, and as a result the tremu lous ones will find their numbers are either 11 or 15.

Proper EWING CASE IS OVER. Jury Expected to Return This Evening. a Verdict Argument by the attorneys in the Nan Kwing murder case is on in the district court this morning. The jury is expected to get the case and return a verdict before they are re leased by the court today. County Attorney Simon closed the Introduction of evidence by calling Dr. W. S. Lindsay, an insanity expert, in rebuttal of medical testimony by the defense. While the state had sum moned a number of doctors, their ex amination was regarded as delay to a trial which has already taken four days of the court's time, and therefore dispensed with. Only one of the medical witnesses for the defense claimed to be an ex pert. He was Dr. E. S. Pettyjohn. Hence, the state was satisfied with placing one expert opposite him. This position Dr. Lindsay took in a decided manner. He declared Nan Ewing, or rather the person involved in the hy pothetical question, was sane. The expert testimony amounted, therefore, to two conflicting medical statements and the jury is left as the 'referee. Upon the close of the testimony. Judge A. W. Dana gave the jury a long list of instructions and the attor neys elected to talk two hours on a side. Murder in the first degree or man slaughter in the fourth degree or ac quittal are the three possible findings of the jury under the instructions of the court. If they find that Nan Ewing deliber ately gave. Joseph Rice morphine for the purpose of killing him, then they will send her to the penitentiary for life for murder. If they find that she gave him morphine with the desire tinly to relieve his illness and negli gently gave him enough to produce his death she will be sent to jail for manslaughter in the fourth degree. But if they find she was insane from the use of morphine and could not be responsible for the act, or that in truth she gave him no morphine whatever. but that Rice died from other causes, then of course, they will send her away free.

BOLiXGER BRINGS A SUIT. Will Try to Determine If He Is En titled to Halderman Fee, With a view to clearing from his record as assistant county attorney the! charge that he sought to extract rees for state work, Arthur J. Bolinger to day instituted suit against I. D. Hal derman in the city court to recover $25. The former assistant cites in his bill of particulars that Halderman now has in his possession contracts and documents procured for him through the employment of Bolinger. The history of the case begins with the appearance of Halderman, who lives at 106 East Sixth avenue, at the county attorney's office during the pre vious administration when he asked for information as to whether he had a criminal case. Bolinger told him he had only a civil case. It is the con tention of Bolinger that Halderman then employed him to handle that civil case and that at his own expense he went to Kansas City to examine papers and contracts for his client. When he submited his charge of $25 after his service was completed ne re ceived a letter from the attorney gen eral asking what he meant by using the county office for private gain. Bolinger explained the case and noth ing more was heard of it until "the charge reappeared in an editorial. Prairie Fire In Oil Fields. Bartlesville. Ok., Feb. 2.

ARE GAINING GROUND. Democrats Help Insurgents in Senate This Afternoon. At the afternoon session of the sen ate, Hodges offered an amendment to the first section of the initiative and referendum resolution which would require 15 per cent of the total vote to initiate an amendment to' the constitu tion. The Olathe senator declared this would spike any probable effort to. re submit the prohibition amendment, but permits questions other than con stitutional amendments to be submit ted on an amendment signed by 8 per cent. His amendment carried by a vote of 22 to 15. It was the first amendment carried and the. adminis tration felt they were gaining ground. The regulars came back with a few amendments of their own, although they could not muster enough votes to carry important changes. Senator Price of fered a minor amendment and made a ten minute speech for his amend ment and closed by saying .that his speech would not stand as a committal on the bill. Price again reminded the members that the platform was of ques tionable authorship and said he would not swallow any political medicine that did not taste good merely just because someone prescribed the dope. Stewart wanted an amendment compelling the required per cent of signers in each county and Stavely amended this to put every congressional district within the 20 per cent limit. .Although the regulars could not poll a majority of the total votes, yet they were loaded with heavy amendments and gave am ple evidence that they possessed enough votes to make final passage of the measure quite uncertain. This fact did not ease the mind ,pf the insurgents and with each vote the standpats ap peared to gain courage and strength. Price attacked the provisions of the bill which denied a submission of ap propriations and salaries of public jf ficials and declared that his progres sive friends were trying to keep tha real important measure from the pub lic. "If you can trust the people of Kan sas on prohibition," said Price, "you can certainly trust them in fixing the governor's salary and the appropria tion to his school at Lawrence. The governor declares in hi? message that it is not how much money you wring out of the people, but what you spend the money for, and I think in our day of reform some of these things should be attended to." Price then showed the Oregon bal lot. "If a couple of pages will come here," said Price. "I will show you how they do things in Oregon. There they voted for the very things you de prive the people to make an expres sion. The trouble is our reform friends have heard what they did to the sal aries in that state and they don't want it tried here." The Ashland lawyer then sent the Oregon ballot law to the speaker's table by two pages, who spread the document to its full length of seven feet. After it was duly exhibited Price attacked the plan and asked if the dis tinguished statesman from Emporia wanted the doctrine tried on the nor mal. "If you are for the people," he de clared, "don't be for them in a half hearted way. If you can trust the peo ple in some of. these things, then why are you reformers not willing to trust them with all' of the things? This re form business, is for no other Jiurpose than to reform" some person IrF tire" United States senate. May God hasten the day when reformers don't "want public office." The Price amendment was carried mn a yea and nay vote. NOW UP TO HOUSE. Initiative and Referendum Hill Is Favorably Reported. After spending two days in almost continuous session in discussion of the initiative and referendum bill the house judiciary committee this after noon reported the resolution back to the house with the. recommendation that it be passed as amended. The amendments made are not very important. No charge was made in the bill requiring 8 per cent petitions for the initiative and 5 per cent for the referendum. These figures are the same as in the party platform. The Don Carlos resolution is the adminis tration measure. SCOVfLLE MEETINGS SUNDAY. Evangelists Will Open Meetings at Auditorium. The Rev. W. J. Minges, of the Sco ville Evangelistic company, will preach this evening at the Third Christian church; Friday night at the Central Park Christian church and Saturday night at the North Topeka" church of the same denomination. Sunday night there will be a mammoth rally at the Auditorium at least that is the way the meeting has been announced. Dr. Scoville is considered by many persons the greatest evangelist of to day. In Oklahoma City he recently took 1,510 converts into the church, and in other cities he has made even more wonderful records, for example, at Des Moines 2,200 were added to the Chris tian churches. Never Had. "Have you ever seen me act?' asked the conceited thespian. "No! replied the candid critic. "I have upon a number of occasions seen you try to." Too Smart. P. Davis Noxon was one of the ablest lawyers In central New York. A vouna man entered his office at a stu dent and was given Blackstone to study. At the end of the month he asked Mr. Noxon what he should read next. "Do you understand Blackstone?" "Yes," was the answer. "Read Kent, was the order. In another month he announced that he had finished Kent. "What next?" "Have you read Blackstone and Kent?" "Yes." "Well," said Mr. Noxon, "you had better go at some other business; you are too smart to be a lawyer." Case and Com ment.

Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herplcide Co.. Detroit, Mich- One Jjonar monies uu&r&ntaed. til- fa? itiui- 0 The Hon. Davis who draws today's place on the Davis list, comes from Cave. We might make a pun on that, and say something about a hole in -the ground, but we retrain. Cave is not a hole in the ground, but a thriving lit tle town in Gray county, and, there fore, when the roll is called in the house of representatives, this gentle man pipes up when the clerk inquires for "Davis of Gray." That is the only way he can distinguish himself from the five other Davises on the job. Gray county is down in the middle of the Big Seventh, the congressional district which covers nearly one-third of tho state, and is, in turn, covered with short grass and jack rabbits. And Cave is down in the southeastern por tion of said county, on the headwateis of the turgid Crooked crick. This gentleman from Gray has neg lected, up to this time, to create any particular disturbance on the floor of the house. We suspect him of having voted against the National game, but having mislaid our private blacklist, we are not certain. But as Cave is a small place and Cave dwellers are sup posed to be behind the times, there are grounds for the suspicion. Another One of Them. Mr. Davis, of Gray is a good looking man, although one might look at this picture a week without suspecting it. In fact, this picture is nearly as bad as if Hon. Kerr of Independence had drawn it. Hon. Keraus comes, for the second time, from Trego county. Trego, to freshen your memory, Is the place where the gobs of gold were NOT In the shale. But hold it not against Hon. Kerans. He did not boost the shale' graft? that: was done, not in Trego county, but in Spotless Topeka. Trego county was simply made the goat. And, as for Mr.. Keraus, he is a suc cessful' business man of WaKeeney, and sells everything in the hardware line from tacks to traction engines. He was sent back for a Becond term with out instructions, his constituents hav ing sufficient faith in his judgment to trust him at large without check reins or hobbles. This is a rare distinction for a legislator. Most of them are her(ed constantly by their constit uents, like a millionaire baby on the edge of a park fountain. Mr. Kerans. a Second Timer. Mr. Keraus wants an increased ap propriation for the branch forestry station at Ogallah, Trego county, and he may get it, although increased ap propriations are exceedingly unpopular at this time. In fact increased appro priations seldom succeed in getting past first base. But Mr. Keraus will do his best, and no legislator can do more. Apologies for this picture are also in order. Mr. Keraus's mustache does not look like it had been tilled with a disc harrow, as this picture would in dicate. The corporation tax wrangle has de veloped a new orator. Charley Ses sions got through a state campaign without having to make a speech, and has frequently admitted that he was no speaker, but last night, .while pitted against the Commercial club and the pick of Topeka's legal talent, he made some speeches which were worth going around the corner to hear. The sharp est of the- lawyers failed to trip him, and his friends were truly proud of his oratorical efforts. Maybe Charley s scheme to reim burse the depleted state treasury and lay up something against the rainy days of enormous contingent funds, is a move in the right direction, an.i maybe it is not, but Charley thinks :t is all right, or he wouldn't be boost ing it. Every member of the K. L. of S in Topeka, whether they belong to one of the councils in this city or at some other point, is urged to be present at tne union .meeting to be held in Se curity hall, on Friday evening, Feb ruary 3. WATTING,- BUT NOT AT CHURCH. Becker Went to Services Two Tears Ago, Now Wife Gets Divorce. Kansas City, Feb. 2. It was August 8, 1908, that George F. Becker, a. Leavenworth bundle wrapper, kissed Beulah, his wife, two or three times and said he was going to church. "I am still waiting for him to come back," said Mrs. Becker to Judge James E. Goodrich of the circuit court, where she was granted a divorce de cree. "He kissed me, told me to be good and said he was going to church and would be back at 10 o'clock." "Was he a regular churchgoer?" the court asked. "Yes, he went often," said the wife. This churchgoing episode, testified the wife, occurred two months after the marriage. She lived with her mother while they were married and worked also. She was given the cus tody of her son. NO MONEY FROM STATE. Former Wyandotte County Attorney Closed 256 Saloons In Four Years. Kansas City; Kan.. Feb. 2. C. W. Trickett, who closed the "joints" in Wyandotte county, received less than $6 a case for his work, according to a statement sent to Fred S. Jackson, for mer attorney general of Kansas. Mr. Trickett says that he received $5,781.15 for the prosecution of a thousand cases but he closed the 256 saloons he found at the opening of his term. Not one cent of the contingent fund was ex pended in Wyandotte county. The letter follows: "Repeated assertions have been made that you and your deputies made a for tune out of law enforcement in this state in the last four years. For your information I herewith give you a statement respecting Wyandotte coun ty. "In that county not one cent of your contingent fund was used. The pay of secret service men to gather evidence had to be paid out of the amount al lowed for my services. In a majority of the cases the defendant was unable to pay the attorney fee allowed, so that it was matter of compromising and nooentinir a fractional part of the amount allowed, and In a large number of cases I receipted the docket without any payment of fees to myself in order to collect the fees for the sheriff and clerk of court. "The amount of fees received by me for the prosecution of liquor cases, less the expenses paid for secret service men, is as follows: From June 8, 1S06, (the date of onnninttYipnti to January 1. mm From January 1, 1907. to January 1. 1908 2,217.10 From January 1, 1908, to January 1, 1909 986.36 From January 1, 1909, to January 1. 1910 605.34 From January 1. 1910, to January 1, 1911 898.30 Total $5,781.15 "The above is the total compensation received by me for four and a half years of service, including the prosecu tion of more than a thousand cases, which you will see is less than an av erage of $6 a case. The above amounts were charged in our partnership account and divided with my law partner. Judge I W. KepHnger." The fees in these cases were not paid by the county,- t-wepe -paid, by the persons prosecuted. Bust of Rockefeller. Chicago, Feb. 2. A life size bronze bust of John D.

Girard, Kan.. Feb. 2. "I consider the president's action a complete vin dication for myself." Fred Warren, editor of the Appeal to Reason, a Socialist paper, made that comment when told that the president had commuted a sentence of six months in jail and reduced a fine of $1,500 to $100, inflicted for mis using the mails. "Taft's action is the first exhibition of political sense by the politicians dealing with the question of Social ism." Warren added. "I was prose cuted, not because I had violated any federal law, but because I was the edi tor of a militant Socialist paper. These tactics failed in Germany, they v'ill fail in this country. The policy of lying about Socialism and using the powers of governn-ent to keep down agitation, a policy inaugurated by Taft's predecessor, is antiquated."

Can any lung sick person arrord not to take the Alterative? It sharpens the appetite, makes life look different,.' brings better health with greater earning power. Often persons are so much) improved that they can work even before they are finally cured. Investigate it, if you are broad minded enough to believe that there can be a cure for Consumption which has not been sensationally exploited, or which Is not based merely on climatic or diet restric tions. Mr. Webb's report follows: Weldon, III. Gentlemen: "During 1905, my physician sent me to Texas, from there to Colo rado. I became worse and was sent boms to die. I heard .of Eckman's Alterative, began treatment, and was cured. I earn estly recommend Eckman's wonderful cure' for Consumption." -Signed Affidavit) ARTHUR WEBB.

HAIR REMOVERS ARE DANGEROUS Plxyslcians Say: "Don't Use Poisonous Depilatories." The extravagant claims recently made by unscrupulous manufacturers of hair removers m sensational adver tisements unquestionably justify physi cians In cautioning the public again.it the use of this class of depilatories. How many people have been enticed into using these dangerous prepara tions, with consequent injury to them-" selves, cannot be estimated, but only guessed at: The praparation3 above referred to are Invariably in the form of creamy pastes, which are to? be spread upon the skin to remain until they dry. These contain Sulphide of Barium, an insoluble, chemical, .which cannot be tiissolved; therefore cannot be absorbed by the skin. The very, fact that you are told to leave these pasty compounds on the skin until they dry and cake and then lift off with a knife is proof pos itive that they are not absorbed. If they are, why do they still remain on the skin? The most they can possibly do is to remove the surface hair, which in consequence will reappear stronger -and thicker after each removal. There -is only one logical and scien tific way to remove hair, and that ?s by means of a liquid containing soluble ingredients which can be absorbed by the skin. De Miracle, known all the' World over, as the only real superfluous hair remover, is Just such a prepara tion. It is easily and quickly absorbed and after you have used' it you will note there is nothing left on the skin. It leaves the skin free from irritation, and What is more to the point, it is ab solutely non-poisonous; therefore, it will not produce eczema or blood pois oning. Remember, no matter what claims are made to the contrary, no poisonous, pasty compound or so-called "liquid cure" ever did or ever will kill a single hair root, and we can prove it. Beware of the fake free advertisers and others who by wording of their ad vertisements, try to give tha impression that newspapers and other reputable publications endorse their worthless preparations. Don't be deceived by them. De Mlrale Is the only prepara--tion which is so endorsed. De Miracle is sold at all good stores Including The Warren M. Crosby Co Mills Dry Goods Co. No honest dealer will offer you a substitute on which he wiakes mo'e profit. We will send you a 52-page booklet containing full Information concerning this remarkable treatment, as well as testimonials of prominent physicians, surgeons, dermatologists, medicat jour nals and the principal magazines and newspapers. You should read this book let before you try anything. Write o the De Miracle Chemical Co., Dept. PIS. 1905 Park Ave., New York, simply ear. inK you want this booklet, and it will be mailed, sealed, at once.. Note All readers of this paper" who are afflicted with superfluous hair growths are strongly advised to write for information concfrnlns- this won derful method, which is endorsed the World over by eminent authorities. who have made a lifelong study of this subject. Falls Victim to Thieves. V'l never felt so near my grave," writes W. R. Patterson, of Wellington, Tex., as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite, of doctor's treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sister died ot consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King's New Dis covery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 137 pounds and have been well and strong for years."

Defendant. -Application for Writ of Mandamus. Alternative Writ Allowed. Syllabus. By the Court. Mason, J. 1. One whose term as a public officer has expired may be required by manda mus to perform an act which he should have done while in office, wherever It Is in its nature capable of such subsequent performance, and a public purpose is to be served thereby. 2. vWhere an act establishing a special law for a particular county contains a clause In terms repealing the general law on the subject such clause will ordinarily be regarded as limited in its operation to that county. 3. Where an act establishing a special law for a particular county repeals the general law on the subject as to that county, the repeal of the special act brings the county again within the opera tion of the general law, the statutory rule that the repeal of a statute does 'not re vive a statute previously repealed having no application to such a situation." 4. Chapter 143 of the Laws of 1909 does not violate the constitutional provision that "no bill shall contain more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in Its title." 5. The adoption of a constitutional pro vision against special legislation does not prevent the repeal by special act of a special law previously enacted, or its par tial repeal, where the effect is merely to withdraw a county from the operation of the special law and make it subject to the general law. f 6. Where at the same session the -legislature repeals a special act fixing the compensation of the officers of a partic ular county, atfd by a separate act pro vides a new schedule applicable to such county, the presumption that would oth erwise exist of an intention that the old basis should govern until the new one took effect, fails where the operation of the new schedule Is postponed for a con siderable period; in such a situation the old general law. governs between the re peal of the special law and the time when the new schedule becomes operative.
