LAST EDITION. THURSDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 23, 1911. THURSDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. FilURDEREDTO ROB Benjamin Piatt, Aged Man, Dead With Crushed Skull. Found in His North Topeka Clothing Store. HIS MONEY MISSING. Crime Hidden for SeTeral Hours Few Clues. Father-in-Law of Samuel Freid berg, Topeka Jeweler. With hia skull crushed, Benjamin Piatt, a clothing merchant, aged 62, was found dead at his store, 819 North ..aneas avenue, about 7:15 o'clock last night. The murderer is at large. Benjamin Piatt, Who Was Foully Mur dered In North Topeka. Evidently robbery was the motive. The pockets of the trousers were Inside out but Mrs. Freidberg says that he had about J100 in them Wednesday morning, but whatever coin he had was missing when Dr. Keith, county coroner, who was notified of the tragedy, arrived on the scene and ex amined the dead man. However, the victim had a gold watch left in his vest pocket. No articles were missing from the store. In the rear of the room a No. 10 shoe was found. It looked as though it had been tried on. A piece of brick was also found in the rear room. A suit case had been left near the rear door. The front door was noticed to be locked last evening, but clothing was still displayed on the outside when N. Kinstein, a second hand merchant a ftw doors south, went to the place of business. These circumstances aroused his suspicions. He telephoned Samuel Freidberg. He also was beginning to think that something was wrong as Piatt was past due. .at his supper. He had lived with his wife at 224 Fillmore, not far from the Freidbergs. tfi' I fartsas A venue Diagram of store. 819 North Kansas avenue. Cross Indicates where body was found. Mr. Freidberg at once left for North Topeka. Mrs. Friedberg followed. She was alarmed by what she had heard bar husband say over the telephone. When they reached the store Freid berg knocked on the locked front door. No answer came. Again he knocked, and called his father-in-law's name, but no reply came. Then he broke open the door. The store seemed de serted. Piatt's hat lay beside a chair. A lunch, which the man had carried with him the morning before lay ha'f opened on the table nearby. Find the Body. Freidberg now noticed that the back doors of the store were open and he went back to investigate. His wife saw drops of blood leading from the chair back to behind the south counter She followed the ghastly trail until she came upon the body. It was lying be hind the counter and covered by an old cloak. The face was turned up. The lft side of the skull was crushed. At the sight, the murdered man's daugh ter screamed: "Here he is. He's flpad!" Her cries brought her husband to tne iruui vi me store. After a haety glance he notified Dr. Keith and the .load man's relatives. The coroner said that rigor mortis had set in and that the man had been dead for six or eight hours. All of n.iuuo 11 1 1 1 e V I dence gathered by the police later point to the murder for robbery j """i mat iinj man was eo.ru ck irom nentnd with, a blun instrument and made unconscious by the first blow. From the blood leading from the chair, and the stale lunch, it is thought that Piatt might have been struck while sitting on the chair at lunch. Then the murderer probably drag ged the body back of the counter, covered it with old clothing, locked the front door from the inside and escap ed by way of the back door. The po lice think that whoever committed the crime was thoroughly familiar with the store. Chief Jenkins, who with Detective Carl Goff and Sergeant Dan Garden investigated the case last night, are of the opinion that the fa tal blow might have been with a heavy revolver. On this theory he will sweat every gun-toter arrested for the next several days. Find Empty Parses. Patrolman Robert Palmer and Pa trolman Mathews, as soon as Fried berg notified the police department of the affair were also sent to the scene. They found two chamois skin bags in which the old man kept his money. He did not use a till, according to Mr. Friedberg. Whether the victim made much re sistance is hard to tell. There was no sign of a struggle. However, a rag upon which the murderer evidently wiped his hands after committing the crime was found and also a bloody footprint near the counter. The last is about the only clue. Piatt was last seen alive about 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. He had passed through the Henry hardware store, according to his custom, to get a drink of water. It is also said that about this time a man carrying a bun dle was seen to enter the Piatt store. The old man had considerable Mexi can and negro trade. He had been at 819 North Kansas avenue since last August. Previously he had been in business in Kansas City for about 20 years. He was born in Germany. He leaves an aged wife and another daughter, besides Mrs. Freidberg. The latter is prostrated from the shock and with grief. The other daughter. Miss Stella Piatt, employed by the Parisian Cloak company in Kansas City, is in New York on business. The body was taken to Penwell's undertaking rooms. No funeral ar rangements have been made, pending the arrival of Miss Piatt. The old man was of a very quiet dis position. He had no enemies as far as is known. In this connection Mr. Freidberg said this morning. "Piatt wouldn't have harmed a fly. He never did anything wrong to any one. He was very unobtrusive. But somehow or other, some one learned that he carried money with him and he was murdered for his money. "I begged him not to go into busi ness, as we could have kept him, but he was not content unless he was do ing something. He had been in the habit of opening up his store a little after 7 o'clock in the morning and coming home a little after 7 in the evening. As soon as I heard that he was not home and that his store was locked with the clothing outside, I knew that something was wrong and hurried over. My wife heard my con versation over the telephone and fol lowed." Mr. Freidberg has offered S100 re ward for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. Negro Entered Store at 3 P. M. Indications are that the murder was not committed until after 3 o'clock. Piatt was seen alive by sev eral previous to this hour in front of his store. About 3 o'clock Fred Voi land, a clothier at 827 North Kansas avenue, says he saw a negro carrying something wrapped in a newspaper enter the store. The same incident was noted by M. W. Kimes, a dray man, who has a stand at the south east corner of North Kansas avenue and Norris street, not far from the Piatt store. "At the time I never thought any thing about it," said Mr. Voiland this morning. "However, Mr. Kimes this morning also mentioned seeing a ne gro carrying a bundle go into the store about the same time I saw him. I didn t see the man come out. In fact, I didn't pay any more attention to it as people going into a store are ordinary happenings. The negro was small and dressed in a rough work suit, biut I didn't notice his features or the color of his clothes. He was about thirty feet ahead of me and walked along in an ordinary manner. I just happened to be on the street at the time." Before this, Wm. W Edmonds, a jeweler, saw a white man with a bun dle go into the store. "I was waiting for a car to cross the river about 1:80 o'clock," said Mr. Ed monds, "when I saw a man dressed in a yellowish brown suit. I am positive of the time, for I looked at the clock. It was about 1:30 p. m., and I marked on my card, "Back at 2:30,' signifying the time I was to return." Many speak of seeing Piatt alive at 2 o'clock, standing in front of his store. No Sound Heard Next Door. E. L. Klussman. clerk at the Henry hardware store, just north of the Piatt store, from which it is separated by a hallway, says that neither he nor any of the others in the store had any in timation of anything being wrong that afternoon. However, it is thought that the noise of the blow, which must have been given in the south corner furthest away from the hardware" establish ment, could not have been heard. I was greatly shocked when Chief Jenkins told me of the killing," said Air. Klussman. "Chief Jenkins came to my house at 1331 North Madison street, about 9 o'clock and told me, and asked me if I had heard anything suspicion. I told him 'no.' "Piatt was in the habit of comine into our store two or three times a day and getting a drink. We were rather friendly as he was a nice old man and a Woodman, to which lodge I belonged. He used to get me to read bills and other papers for him, as he couldn't read English." The Piatt store is a two storv brick and stone building. The stock was mostly clothing, suit cases and similar articles. The murder is as mysterious as any in the Topeka police records, and al most unparalleled in the history of the neighborhood. The affair caused great excitement in the neighborhood. This morning crowds of curious people siooa ana looKea m the windows. Temperature Slightly Cooler. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the tern perature was two degrees cooler than at the same time Wednesday.

Massachusetts Ballot Law Beat en in the Senate. Will Be No Nonpartisan Elec tions in Kansas. TRAYIS INTO MOUNTAIN Senator Spurned Overtures of the Administration. Offered Concession to Tote for Initiative and Referendum. After an hour of heated argument, the Massachusetts ballot bill was this morning slaughtered in the senate. By a vote of 25 to 13. the 98 line first paragraph the backbone of the bill was removed and the enacting clause followed on the next division. It was this bill, originally prepared in the minority caucus, that was to re move the circle, the bald eagles, the donkeys and kindred emblems of, dis tinction. The measure also provided that names of candidates should be run in the same column under a single line head of the office and that the candidates' party affiliations should be designated after the names. There was a further provision that the state bal lots and constitutional amendments should be printed at the state print ing plant. Another slap at the print ers. The rate of printing was also re duced to a considerable extent. But the section that brought real tears from the soulful patriots was the few lines which declared that no elec tion judge should assist a voter except for physical disability. These public spirited members pointed with horror to the defenseless position of the un fortunate gent who did not carry a college certificate and relied on the substantial bald headed bird and cramped up donkey to guide their po litical destiny. They deplored the fact that a man must wade through sev eral feet of closely printed matter with no star to guide his footsteps and that his final decision and guess might be for the very fellow against whom he desired to vote. They called upon the gods to pave a safe path for the hun dreds whose college training had been neglected and would be permitted to wander at random over a bulky docu ment of which they knew nothing. On the other hand, Stavel of Osage county declared that the bill was a good thing and that a man who could neither read nor write had little reason for being turned loose in a booth to decide on the destiny of his country. Carey -of Reno very gratefully offered to .settle the entire difficulty with his motion to strike out the first section. But this motion did not narmonize things in the least. Senator Hodges read opinions irom Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, in which Lodge said the ballot was a good thing and registered up under the pure food and drug act. He fur ther cited opinions from Charles E. Hughes, former governor ot jxew York, in which Hughes ventured a guess that the law was filling a long felt want in the public's bill of neces sities. Then Hodges urged the senate to trv the measure on Kansas, but the senate was inattentive and shocked the minority leader by aDusing me Din generally. Even many or tne insurgents aim original reformers objected to the plan. Quincy, Brady, Stannard, and Ganse ail objected to the bill. Heed ana Stewart declared that it would be necessary to take several days off every two years in order that people mieht have ample time to wade through the long winded provisions of the law. They declared that double the present number of election judges and clerks and voting precincts would be necessary If the-Massachusetts plan was tried. Potter, of Marion, who is chairman of the committee which reported the bill and substituted the minority meas ure for one of Republican vintage, ad vocated the passage of the bill.. He said it was a modernized system of voting and that Kansas needed it. He pointed to the saving in printing tne bill and urged that It was not a po litical issue, but that the measure should be supported irrespective of party alignment. He was under fire from opposition members while on the floor and President Hopkins twice called Senator Carey to order when he pushed jokes at the Peabody man. The roll call on the removal or tne working parts of the bill was as fol lows: For Bender, Brady.Brewster, Brown. Caldwell, Cambern, Carey, Denton, Fagerberg, Fowler, Ganse, Glenn, Har ris. Hostrup, Lower,' Milligan, Over field, Porter, Price, Quincy, Reed, Stannard, Stewart, Stillings, Travis. Total, 25. Against Anderson. Avery, Cooke, Hamilton, Hodges, Huffman, Milton, Murphy, Myers, Potter, Robertson, Smith, Stavely. Total, 13. There is a lively time in the senate this afternoon over the passage of the Porter bill divorcing the Pittsburg training school from the Emporia state normal. The bill was called up on third reading shortly before noon and Porter and his seatmate. Potter, spent the remainder of the morning session in an argument of the merits of their cause. Porter and Potter seldom agree. Con sequently when Porter urged the pas sage of his bill. Potter took excep tion. The Crawford county man had told the senate that the school, which was established in 1903, had grown from an enrollment of 143, with a fac ulty of three members; until at the present time 927 students are enrolled and 31 instructors are employed. He said the school was able to sit up'anrt look about, that it did not want to be maintained und a separate board of regents, but that it felt it was en titled to an individual, resident head. Then Potter brought out the, forgot ten pork barrel and declared that a raid was being made on the state treasury, that three other schools had been planned to further the cause and that, things were in bad shape gener ally. To these remarks Porter took ex ception. He quoted figures and sta tistics, but Potter frtill urged that there was an organized loot on the state treasury planned. At 12:10 the senate took a recess un til 2 o'clock; and the flood of oratory was again let loose at that time. It is currently rumored in the state house today that Frank L. Travis, senator from Allen county, was ap proached with a compromise of a con stituent if he would change his views regarding the merits of the initiative and referendum and vote for the adop tion of the resolution. When asked concerning the alleged interview, Tra vis declined to make a statement for publication and would neither deny nor affirm the report. After the second defeat of the prin cipal platform measure, it is claimed that a united effort was made by the administration crowd to protect their standing with the Kansas constitu ency and they hunted for the neces sary three votes to pass the measure through the upper-house. These three votes, however, would not be needed ex cept in case that Gov. Stubbs decided to call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of fulfilling the prom ises made to the people in the recent campaign. If such a session were call ed, however, it would be very neces sary to land the votes. In the heated bfttle of Tuesday afternoon, the ad ministration drained the bucket in their efforts to convince members that an I. and R. resolution should be sub mitted at the 1912 election. They all but succeeded in winning their cause and for a few minutes even the stand pats were worried' lest this test of strength had turned their recent vic tories into a crushing defeat. Since the last vote on the I. and R., Governor Stubbs has made no state ments concerning the possibilities of another session.' It was doubted that necessary votes could be secured even if the session were called. But the fight for votes ha3 never stopped and the reform forces are said to have been on the lookout for the men who in the last 48 hours have felt a change of heart. According to a report made public in the state house Wednesday, Travis was closeted with a state appointee and a lengthy debate occurred as to the merits of the resolution. It is said that Travis was asked if he had any particular reason why he should op pose the passage of the measure. Tra vis is said to have declared that he would never support the measure. Then things drifted to a general dis cussion of political affairs. Travis was told that a certain state appointee from his district was under fire. But it was said that there was yet time to change the situation and keep the man on the pay roll. Later there was more talk about the initiative and ref erendum. "Travis stood pat. He re fused to budge. The men parted and shortly after noon Wednesday, he was again seen. It was in this con versation, it is claimed, that Travis was told to forget the proceedings of the morning. He was advised that the "fire" under the Allen county ap pointee had smouldered and Chat things would soon; be all right. There are further rumors that oth er members have been seen and that the reform could shovel over a con siderable amount 'ot state patronage for those necessary three votes. In surgent members deny any knowledge of the alleged attempts to ,trade ftr votes. Both factions state that so far as known no votes have bean changed since the Tuesday afternoon roll call. When asked concerning the report, Frank L. Travis refused to discuss the matter for publication. "I have nothing whatever to say about the matter at this time," said Travis, "and if I ever make any state ments, it will be elsewhere than in the columns of the newspapers." SENATORIAL BALLOTS.

Practically all the time of the supreme court of the United States today, is to be consum ed with arguments in cases in which the state of Oklahoma Is requesting action. The first cases involve the right of the federal courts in Oklahoma to grant injunctions which would result. it is said, in the state officials being prohibited from seizing liquor coming into the state as interstate commerce. Another case involves the right of railroads to carry liauor into that sec tion of Oklahoma that formerly was Indian territory. In still another case the state seeks to obtain an injunction to prevent the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe from charging a higher freight rate in Oklahoma than is charged in Kansas. ELECTION IS VOID. Healy Will Have Another Try for His Seat in Parliament. Dublin, Feb. 23. The election contests in the north division of Louth was dis posed of today by the court at Dundalk, which declared the election void and awarded Timothy Healy costs in Ms prosecution of charges of corrupt and illegal practices. The charge of general intimidation was found not to have been established and on this point each party was condemned to pay his own costs. The action was brought by Mr. Healy, who was ousted from the seat which he had held for eighteen years, by Richard Hazleton. a Redmondite. In the early stages Hazelton's attorneys contented to have the election declared void without offering a defense, but Healy insisted upon introducing all of his evidence, which included that in support of charges of bribery. A new election will be necessary. I AM NOT GUILTY" Lorimer Closes a Four Hours' Speech in the Senate With a-Sweeping Denial of All the Charges. EXPLAINS HIS VOTES. Democrats Were Actuated Feelings of Friendship. by They Have Been Supporting Him for Tears, He Says. Washington, Feb. 23. There was no vote on the Lorimer case yester day. Immediately upon the conclu sion of Mr. Lorimer's speech the sen ate went into executive session on the Japanese treaty and the answer to the Lorimer speech which Senator Bever idr was prepared to make went over until today. Nobody knows when a vote will be reached. He made a speech of four hours, and even his bitterest opponents ad mitted it was able, well sustained and dramatic. Mr. Lorimer's speech was distinctly a "human interest story." For ex ample, in explaining the votes of Democrats for him in the legislature which elected him to the senate, he told of the beginning of his acquaint ance with "Hinky Dink" Kenna in Cl.icago 40 years ago. It was a homely story of one news boy" helping another, but it was most effectively told and there were many other touches of human nature in the speech which held the interest of the great audience from beginning to end. What effect, if any, the speech will have upon the vote in the senate, it is impossible to say. The general impression about the capitol is that Mr. Lorimer and his friends have safely pledged the votes with which to de'fcat the resolution which would declare his seat vacant and that if the matter comes to a vote the result will be a Lorimer victory. It is not impossible that Lorimer's opponents may be able to prevent the matter coming to a vote at all before adjournment. It was said this was the plan which the anti-Lorimer people would try to carry out. During the more than four hours that Mr. Lorimer occupied the floor he reviewed practically all the charges which have been made against him self. His statement was in the nature both of testimony and of pleading. He refrained entirely from attempt to analyze the testimony, but devoted his attention entirely to the arguments of other senators against him. He explained his Democratic sup port on thegrounds of long standing personal friendships for himself and r f antipathy for Senator Hopkins, who was his principal antagonist in the senatorial contest. Assassins of Character. One or two allusions were made to the prosecution of the case and his enemies were referred to as "assassins of character." There were occasional pointed references to speeches of op posing senators, Messrs. Root and Crawford coming in for especial at tention. Mr. Lorimer asserted emphatically that not only had he not used money to influence his election, but that on his honor he knew of none having been so employed. Senator Lorimer attributed his Dem ocratic strength largely to his activity in favor of the Lakes to the Gulf deep waterway project He emphasized the nonpartisan character of this move ment and showed how it brought him into intimate contact with men of all parties. He said he was in Springfield at the time he was elected senator to urge upon the legislature the passage of a waterway law. "I would like to know from the sen ator from New York," said Lorimei, turning to Mr. Root, "whether he has ever been identified with such a work and whether he did not find that under such circumstances it was necessary to make friends of men of all parties. The work that I have done was generally recognized as one that meant much to Illinois and some of my Democrati3 friends conceived the idea that ?f elected to the senate I could do much to promote the enterprise." His Democratic Friends. Mentioning the Democrats who had been friendly to him, he gave the names of Representative Blair, whota he quoted as saying he "wanted Lori mer to be governor," of Sidney Espey who "went so far as to say that Lori mer should be president;" of Michael Link, who is one of the men said to have been bribed to vote for Lorimer, and of others. Taking up the charge that he had been much in Illinois about the time of his election Mr. Lorimer said: "Suppose I had organized the election and then suppose I had been in Spring field for several weeks and suppose I had been a candidate, is that an evi dence of corruption and bribery? "Has any senator here ever been at the capitol of his state when they were discussing his election? Is it a crime? If it is, then I am guilty. Why, Mr. President, it is like the talk of a child and no man of experience will pay any attention to it," Mr. Lorimer also dwelt on the case of Lee O'Neil Browne, declaring that he had exercised no influence in mak ing that man minority leader. In sup port of this contention, he said that Browne's rival, Tippit, and seventeen of his followers had voted for him (Lorimer). "There was, therefore, nothing in the whole history of the case to justify the statement concern ing my conciliation eitner witn snurt left" or Browne." Deneen's Candidacy. Speaking of Governor Deneen's can didacy. Mr. ljorimer reviewed tne con test for senator, saying that if the fif teen Deneen followers had voted for Hopkins he would have been elected and there wouia nave oeen no dead lock. All of the members of the leg islature with which he was supposed to have influence naa votea ror Hop kins. These included all the Republi cans from his congressional district. It should be borne in mind, M5. Lori mer said, that Deneen had--been the father of the direct primary law. "He was for it and he got it and when the roll was called it was found all the members of Deneen districts had voted ti (Continued on Page Bight. MINERS ARE RELEASED.

The congres sional joint committee on printing is lawfully conducted, according to the opinion rendered today by Justice Gould of the district supreme court, in which he directs the dismissal of a proceeding for injunction brought by the Valley Paper company of Holyoke, Mass., to restrain the public printer from making any purchases under contracts approved by the committee as at present constituted. The Valley Paper company contended that the law reauired that the joint committee should be appointed by the speaker of the house and the president of the senate. The court held that the ap pointment of the joint committee on printing is left to the discretion of the senate and house as may be provided by their rules. The case was an outgrowtn or tne proceeding for mandamus Instituted by the Valley Paper company against the loint committee on printing to compel consideration of a bid to fur nish paper for government use. DANGER IS REMOVED. A Big Derelict Goes on the Rocks Off the Scilly Islands. London, Feb. 23. The old French warship Richelieu, which for a fort' night had been drifting about, a dere lict dangerous to navigation, found port today on the rocks off the Scilly islands. The craft was sighted by the life saving crews who first thought that a transatlantic liner had gone ashore, but when a life boat reached the scene the crew recognized the French fighter. The Richelieu was being towed to Holland, where she was to have been broken up, when, two weeks ago, in a gale she tore loose from her tugs. A few days ago sne was reported as sighted in the tracks of transatlantic liners, 160 miles west oi wueenstown. Some apprehension had been felt in marine circles and the news that the derelict was fast on the rocks off Scilly islands was welcomed by mariners here. The vagrant craft struck on South Bishop island. Yesterday the steamer La Provence, bound from New York for Havre, reported by wireless she had sighted a derelict supposed to be the Richelieu m latitude 41, longi tude 7.18, just west of the Scilly islands. "So you are from the west!" exclaimed the Boston woman. "Yes," replied the lady from Omaha, "I am not only from the west, but I am a native of the west." "Dear me, are you? How interesting. I like the west very much." "Then you have been there? Yes, I spent several j i Wnvfwsta. last KMwrtmet-w on3 T n I UitJS 11. .TVl. u.... ...-......i n.iu 1. U.1 most went as far as Albany."

Boom Started to Champion Hodges for Governor. BROWU IS PRESIDENT. Lawrence Man at Head of the Organization. Senator Reed Carries the Ban- queters by Storm. Excellent Speeches Made by the Young Men. The Democrats came to town in large numbers Wednesday to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of George Washington, and they stayed over night to enjoy one of the best state banquets in the history of the party in Kansas. About six hundred guests were present in the Masonic banquet hall at night when Rev. W. H. Scriv ner pronounced the invocation. The speeches were enthusiastically received and the unterrifled disciples of Thomas Jefferson had a splendid time and in cidentally made out large sections of a winning state ticket for 1912 The Hodges boom for United Statea senator was crushed by the sentiment In favor of his making another race for governor. James Orr of Atchison and W. L. Brown of Kingman, mem bers of the present legislature, also had supporters who wanted them to make the gubernatorial campaign. W. P. Feder of Barton county was pushed for lieutenant governor and J. L. Na pier of Newton and W. H. L. Pepperill of Concordia were talked of for sec retary of state. A. B. Carney of Cloud county had a following that wanted him to run for superintendent of pub lic instruction. All the candidates mentioned, except Mr. Pepperill, are members of the present legislature.' The guests entered the big banquet room at 7 o'clock and it was 11 when Senator Reed of Missouri finished his eloquent speech. Mayor Billard of Topeka .made the address of welcome, during which he pointed with pride to the fact -that a. Democratic mayor was able to wel come the Democrats to this city for. their annual banquet He alluded jestingly to the fact that he could offer them nothing to drink. The mayor received an ovation. After the dinner the business meet ing of the banquet club was held and Burt Brown of Lawreroe was elected president, and C. H. Beronius, J. H. TJlsh, H. C. Lindsey, S. M. Strother and Frank B. Simms, all of Topeka, as members of the executive committee. This committee will select its secre tary. The speech of Sam Hale of LaCrosse nominating Mr. Brown for president, was a feature of the banquet, for Mr. Hale felt out the sentiment of the club regarding presidential timber for 1912. The Kansas Democrats lean toward Champ Clark of Missouri if applause is any indication of real feeling. They cheered a little when Governor Har mon's name was mentioned by the speaker. Mayor Gaynor's name won a better round and Governor Wilson of New Jersey had many -iends in the hall, but at the mention of Champ Clark's name in connection with the next presidential nomination set the house wild and they cheered for sev- eral seconds. Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, the speaker of the evening, came in late on account of his train being be hind time. The banquet was in pro gress when the visitor entered the room and the guests gave him a hearty round af applause. The vice presidents of the club were choeen as follows: First district S. Myers of Leaven worth. Second T. W. Morgan of Ottawa. Third John W. Tapham of Chanute. Fourth Harrison Parkman of Era poria. Fifth A. B. Carney of Concordia. Sixth Miles H. Mulroy of Hayes. Seventh Frank Fields of Reno. Eighth Jess L. Napier of Newton. If enthusiasm and confidence and a grand time are any indications of suc cess at the polls at the next election, then the Democrats of Kansas have a bright future. Their annual Washing ton's birthday banquet for 1911 was an occasion to date history from. And looking down In benign fashion upon the diners from its frame of flags on the north wall of the banquet room over the sneaker's table was a large picture of that Nebraskan, William J. Bryan. The Speeches. The Democrats have always had a high standard for their speeches and the program last night was up to the mark. The young speakers were warm ly received and Senator Reed was giv en an ovation when he arose to mak the address of the evening. The Mis sourian made a most eloquent and in spiring speech. J. W. Howe, of Abilene, the retiring president, was first on the program after the address of welcome. He said in part: "We are not discouraged, for the great common people have begun to see the light. They are beginning to realize that they neglected their duty too long, for every da- the inconsist encies of the Republican party are showing bigger and bigger. They now know that the assuming of false names was but a subterfuge used to deceive the people. Likewise they are aware thf the talk of tariff reform was but a scheme to continue in power, the boastful talk of economy but a myth to use just before election. This awakening of the American people was shown last fall when the Democrats, elected a congress and more governors than ever before. "Were I to give you my opinion on the course to pursue to reap the ad vantages won last year, it would be only this: Only by complete harmony and united action can we win. So when the ticket for 1912 is chosen, let us all nut forth the best efforts we c&n and work for the election of the entire ticket. It is our oniy noDe ana ir you have the welfare of your party at heart you will do it." CContlnued on Pago Eight.)

A. Basketball Team. Had Never Been Stopped Under Present Organization. SCORE WAS 60 TO 16. College Men Play Phenomenal Basketball. Now JlanagerMontgomery Wants to Call series Off. The crack basketball team of the T peka Y. M. C. A. was defeated for the first time In its two years' history last night. The Washburn college five In a whirlwind of phenomenal play handel them the medicine and rubbed it In 60 to 16. No faster basketball was ever seen In Kansas than that displayed by the col lege men at the. Thomas gymnasium. At the first whistle they broke away with a dash and daring that complete ly routed the seasoned veteranB. Never did they cease their rush and the same five stayed the whole game though. A few moments time for free throws and for the changing, of men by the "Y" were the only ones taken out. If the spectators and followers of the Blue were surprised when the col lege team romped away with Baker Monday night, they were dumbfounded last night at the burst of speed shown by the young players. Not a little credit is due "V7. L. Driver, athletic di rector at Washburn, who has whipped this bunch into form. The men w'ho were beaten are old timers on the basketball floor and have been a thorn in the Bide of every aggregation they have met. The team was organized to take the floor ia place of the old broken up Y. M. team when A. B. Cowden of Nortn western university came to the Y. M. C. A. as a secretary. Ralph McCarrol!. formerly of Cooper, Washburn and Pennsylvania, and Clarence Jordan, an old player of Topeka reputation, and Cowden formed the nucleus of the team. "Hunk" Tlce, formerly of Wash burn and Kettering of the Railroad Y. team were the other two. Roebuck, Ream and Cooper are later acquisi tions. Leslie Montgomery, also of Washburn, played with the team at the beginning but is now Its manager. Contrary to their tendency toward individual work shown in previous con tests, the 'Washburn men depended al most whollv upon team work.. The short, fast passes were marvelously ac curate and seemed to carry more than ordinary luck. A number of Driver's trick formations worked near to per fection leaving a forward unguarded under the goal with the ball. Few open chances at the basket were missed and Smiley and McNeish again apparently were able to score their goals whether they were guarded or not. While Mo Neish's passes were particularly sensa tional, Smiley starred at throwing baskets from under a trio of his taller opponents. Bishop was more effective at guard than ever and the noted team play of the "Y." usually resulted In tossing the hall into his hands or In having him yank it from their own. When the college goals began to drop In quick succession, Cowden who had not started the game, relieved Roebuck at center. This move proved advant ageous to Chaney, the Washburn cen ter, and he, too, began to get a share of the goals, hanging six to his string. Kettering was then relieved by Tice with the hope of stopping Smiley who had already rung up seven goals. The half ended with the score 26 to 9 In favor of the Blue. In the second half Tice, while not ac complishing much offensively, was able to hold Smiley to no goals but McNeish began to do the tossing and dropped in six in quick succession. Tice then gave way to Cooper and Smiley began to score the goals, slipping In four be fore the game was over. Meanwhile Bishop and Janney were blocking the attempts of Ream and McCarroll to do any scoring. Ream, who had gotten the three goals scored by the "Y." in the first half, finally pot another through the mesh and Cowden and McCarroll each scored one. These six goals were all the "Y." got from the field. McCarroll also fell down on his reputation for free Let Me Send You A Treatment of My Catarrh Cure Free I Will Tak Any Cass of Catarrh, No prat, ter Bow Chronic or What Stags t Is In. and Provs. ENTIRELY Al Mf OWM EXPENSE.

In the last quarter when driven to desperation, the "Y." team began to rough Smiley and Chaney, each of whom had three personal fouls, with the hope of getting them Into the fourth foul which would disqualify them. This caused the two to slow -ip and also brought several fouls on the "Y." and two free throw goals to the college. Out of seven chances Chaney scored five free throws. The game was played as the second of a series for the city championship between the Y. M. and the college teams. The first was played last Sat urday night at the Y. M. gymnasium under A. A. U. rules and resulted In a 46 to 24 victory for the "Y." In that game the college scored nine field goals to the "Y.'s'' eight but the college men were called for 40 fouls and McCarroll scored 28 of these. The game last night was played un der Intercollegiate rules which liven the game by permitting dribbling and giving possession of the ball to the side which recovers it outside the court. The third game to decide the cham pionship was scheduled for either Fri day or Saturday night and was to be played on a neutral court under rule3 decided by a toss of a coin. Manager Montgomery, however. In formed Driver between the halves that the Y. M. C. A. team would not have time to play the series out. He reiter ated this statement after the game.

When the whistle blew the score stood 20 to 20. Like the seniors, the juniors, when this tie was played off, turned it into victory.

President McGill came one step nearer solving the third base problem when he received the signed contract of Inflelder Tohe, for part of last season third baseman for the Kansas City American association club. Yohe worked in 23 games for the Blues and hit .263 and fielded .860. His averages are not particularly Im pressive, but those who have Been him in action say that he is a much better player than the figures show. He will be given every chance to make good, and it is possible that he will land a regular berth with the Grizzlies. Another contract was received at club headquarters yesterday, that of the old reliable "Buck" Weaver. Mc Gill had not expected that Weaver would be with the club the coming season on account of ill health, but when "Buck" reported that his health was better than it has been for some years, McGill lost no time In sending him a contract. KOEBXER AND GAGNIER BACK. Comiskey Drafted Them But Could Not Place Them. Wichita, Kan., Feb. 23. Phil Koer ner will be back In a Jobber's uniform this season, and there is joy in the camp of the local baseball team fol lowers. Philip is conceded to be one of the best first sackers around the circuit and last year swatted some thing that sounded like .303. He had a fielding average of .980 and swiped 30 bases from opposing box-artists during the season. Likewise, Koerner is popular with the fans. Koerner was drafted by the Chicago White Sox at the close of the season, and was returned by Owner Comiskey, along with Shortstop Gagnier, who plays back at Lincoln. The failure of President Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox to give eith er Koerner or Gagnier a tryout, will come as a surprise to Western league fans. Both of these players were highly regarded and they will be dis appointed at not being given a chance. Hack Wins From "Kid" Cutler. Denver. Feb. 23. George Hacken- schmidt defeated Charles ("Kid") Cutler of Chicago in two straight falls at the auditorium last night. The first fall came after 41 minutes and 29 sec onds of wrestling with a half Nelson and crotch hold. The second Hack- enschmidt took easily in 9 minutes 30 seconds, with a half-Nelson and bar- lock. It was announced that Zybszko and Dr. Roller have been matched to wrestle here some time next month. Oklahoma City Still Wants In. Lincoln, Feb. 23. Don Despain, owner of the Lincoln baseball team of the Western league, Is considering a proposition received from Oklahoma City of $14,00 0 bonus to move himself and his team from Lincoln to that city. The offer is that Mr. Despain will still own and control the team, moving it intact to that city. It is understood that a similar offer for about one-half the amount was made to St. Joseph for the team of that town, but was turned down. Trying to Keep Schmidt Down. Fort Smith, Ark., Feb. 23. A 15 round boxing bout between Charles Schmidt, catcher for the Detroit Americans, who lives here, and Joe Gormaln of Muskogee. which was scheduled for last night, has been postponed.

Sidney Dick son, a jockey has just arrived here from South America with news of the recent death of Jockey Charley Fair, another American, as the result of injuries received in a race. Dickson saya that Fair accepted the mount on a notoriously bad actor owned by Henry Hunn, a former gentleman rider in this country, and" that when the horse reached the head of the home stretch, he suddenly took the bit In his teeth and bore out to the fence rails. A sharp collision resulted and Fair was hurled over the animal's head. The boy struck a post head-on. HOGAJf WINS FROM BROWN. Brown Bid Not show Class He Bid With Wolgast. New York, Feb. 23. "One Round" Hogan of Califronia gained the popu lar decision over "Knockout" Brown of New York in a ten round bout at the Madison Athletic club here last night. Brown failed to make the showing he recently made against Ad Wolgast in fhiiaaeiphiaa. Backed by the repu tation he earned In that fight. Brown was easily the favorite. But the first round served to raise Hogan several points in the estimation of the crowd. It was a hard fls-ht but Hogan got to Brown as no other fighter has been able to do. When "Knockout" mixed, Hogan mixed with him and met him at every point. The Californlan outpointed. outboxed and outfought the hardy New York lightweight and the big house generally voted the laurels to Hogan when the last gong had sounded. Hogan came near living up to the reputation which his fighting name implies. With a right and leTt to tne head in the first, he sent Brown stag gering Into a neutral corner. It was a surprise to the spectators. Din oi an those in the house Brown was prob ably the most surprised of all. It was a new experience to him aiid he clinched and covered carefully to the end of the round, r Three rounds belonged to Brown, the second, fourth and nintn. ine third and sixth were even Dreaks ana to Hogan went the rest. SOCIETY BOXER ROUGH. Millionaire A. 3. Brexel-Biddle Not So Good a9 McFarland. Philadelphia, Feb. 23. Anthony J. Drexel-Biddle, the millionaire society boxer, fought four fast rounds with Packy McFarland and four with Jack O'Brien before a large crowd at the American Athletic club. The contest between McFarland and Biddle was one of interest, as both men stood up and swapped punches, probably a little bit harder than they meant. McFarland had a shade on Biddle, who greatly out weighed him. After resting a few moments Biddle and O'Brien donned the gloves for another workout. This bout became a trifle rough in a friendly way. O'Brien did not care much for the body punches handed out by the mil lionaire, and let fly a couple of pretty stiff rights. Biddle merely shook them off and tore Into the former title hold er, who was forced to bring all of his old clever footwork into play to keep Biddle at long range. ROTJRKE LANDS BROWN.

Curb on Loan Sharks AY ho Harass Wage Earners. HAS PASSEDTHE HOUSE Now Before Senate Committee on Judiciary. Treasurer Copeland of Santa Fe Urges Its Passage. Railroad men are interested in a bill in the legislature to regulate the loan sharks of Kansas City. These sharks, operating through justices of the peace, make a business of collect ing fake claims against railroad men In various parts of the country. The accounts always are so small that railroad men cannot afford to fight, so they generally submit to the out rage as the cheaper way out. Santa Fe employees at southern Kansas and Oklahoma terminal points, especially, have been annoyed by fake claims. The sharks resort to garnishment pro ceedings to force collection. When an employee shows up to fight, tho loan shark dismisses his case, stating that the wrong man had been sued. Last month fifteen fake claims ranging from $7 to 115, against Sartta Fe em ployees were knocked out In Kansas City. Two years ago the Missouri legis lature enacted a law to prohibit an order of garnishment of wages till after the plaintiff had obtained Judg ment in court. The law also fixed the amount for which a garnishment ac tion can be commenced at $200. The result was that the sharks moved fronr Kansas City, Mo., to Kansas City, Kan., and resumed their work. Representative Frey of Geary coun ty has a garnishment bill which pass ed the house, and is now in the sen ate committee on judiciary. Railway employees are asking that it be amended so that it will be similar to the Missouri law. The employees are willing to have the amount reduced to $100, or even less, but they want the plaintiff in an action to prove his case and get a judgment before obtaining the garnishment order. Railway em ployees don't want to protect those who fail to pay their bills, but they want to protect honest men who are the victims of highbinders in Kansas City. At the request of Santa Fe em ployees, E. L. Copeland, secretary and treasurer of the company, will pre sent their case to the senate commit tee on Judiciary. HOW MONEY IS EARNED.

The movement, under one name or another, has become almost universal among the railroads and has spread to other branches of Industry. San Bernardino yards report 1,530 carloads of fruit handled in Decem ber, as against 682 carloads in the same month of the former season. Of these cars, 1,306 contained oranges, which goes to show that California has produced a record breaking crop of oranges this year. j Santa Fe Rmployees Magazine: The banquet served to the Kansas editors at Topeka on January 31 made things hum at the Chicago commissary.

This town is in earnest in its efforts to find gas, coal or salt, and will commence at once to sink the drill. The representa tive business men of Lincoln have lib erally subscribed means to push tha work. Tnere ia enough money in sight to put down two holes if necessary. The fact that the money was sub scribed in so short time is an indica tion that they believe the stuff is here. Quinter May Have 'Sew Paper. There is talk of publishing' a daily paper in Quinter. It already has a twice-a-week paper and it is said there is so much doing in the town that a daily is needed to tell all. It is one of the pushing towns in Gove county. Pennington a Successful Breeder. Smith county is the home of one of the stock kings of northwest Kansas. He is Charles Pennington, and live in Lebanon.

The Burlington road is unloading large quantities of ties at Benkalman, Neb., which if the road is extended is believed will con nect at this point. Parer Has a New Home. The Luray Herald is at home in its new building. Fred Berlin gets up a newsy paper, and clean as a pretty new dress. One of the interesting feat ures of his paper is the column ot facts the Herald prints every week from Judge J. C. Rupenthal, most of them being news items of gTeat in terest. Building 12,0M) Brick Church. The Methodists are building a $12,000 brick church in Goodland. T. P. Leon ard, one of the pioneers of Sherman county, promises to donate to the church a pipe organ as soon as the church is paid for and dedicated. At one time in the early settlement of Sherman county a town was born and named Leonard in honor of T. P. Leon ard, the donor of the pipe organ. Like Snerman Center, Gandy, Voltaire and Eustis the town of Leonard died in in fancy. They were .all contesting for the permanent county seat of Sherman county and Goodland won out. Completes Waterworks System. St. Francis, county seat of Cheyenne county, has completed a system of waterworks. It is said the capacity of water at the start is sufficient to supply a population of 2,500, in fact, the water is inexhaustible, besides is of great value to land owners in the Re publican valley as serving to show the wonderful possibilities of irrigation from wells. Da mar Catholics to Build. The Catholics of Damar, Rooks county, expect to build a church this year to cost not less than $35,000. The construction of this church will largely depend on the crop prospects. Large quantities of building stone is already on the ground and the work of putting in the foundation is under way. Here tofore the country tributary to Damar has been successful in growing grains. The farmers in this section are mostly French. They came here poor and made money.

The chaotic conditions existing in the United States senate add materially to the proba bility of an extra session of congress. In fact, indications have begun to mul tiply that the senate leaders, having become convinced an extra session is unavoidable, have decided to throw into that session a gr'.'at deal more than the Canadian reciprocity agree ment, which really will he the cause for the convening of the new congress. This, it was charged by the advo cates of reciprocity, will be done to becloud the issue and to delay the rati fication of the agreement by much the same tactics that have characterized the present session. Under the guise of fighting over other matters, it is charged, consideration of the reciproc ity agreement will be continually post poned. President Taft is said to be doing all he can to bring the Republican lead ers into line, but is met with opposi tion in both wings of the party the regulars and the insurgents. The prediction is freely made about the capital that several appropriation bills would fail of passage. If this should prove to be the case it would mean that the supply measures pend ing in the senate or in conference would be thrown out in their entirety and the making of the new measures would be left in the hands of the new Democratic house. Only Three Houses Remain, Conroe. Tex., Feb. 23. With the ex ception of three buildings, the business section of Conroe has been destroyed by fire early.

This town maintains its beauty along with its steady growth. The men who have lived here throughout its growth and have contributed in a great measure in building it up are here today, many of them, and while not so active as is the younger crowd, they are good citizens to tie to. Many of those now here are younger in years and business, and this spring they will be chosen to take up the management of the publio affairs of Grainfield, and it is believed they will prove worthy successors of their pioneer predecessors in standing up for civic and social pood. Among the pioneers of the town are W. J. Heiney, present mayor, who is directly responsible for the setting out of shade trees in Grainfield, which has given the town the name of "tree town"; Col. S. S. Reynolds, for many years one of the most active business men and farmers; Geo. S. Dryer, who operated for years the Occidental, one of the most famous and popular hotels in the west half of the state; T. F. Poole and J. C. Houser, who have suc cessfully operated general stores for years, and J. B. Beal and J. W. Hop kins, who have never left anything un done for the good of Grainfield and pushing it ahead. The public school Is prospering un der the careful care of Rev. Chas. Harper, assisted by Miss Albin, Miss Scott and Miss Ward. Grainfield also has two elevators, lumber yard, bank, hardware, furni ture, drugs, three general firms, news papers, auto garage, hotel, Imple ments, cement block manufacturer and three churches. The Citizens' State bank is a flourishing institution. It is officered by L. H. Johnson, president J. E. Smith, cashier, and Miss Winnie Jones, bookkeeper. These people are among the new beginners in business in Grainfield and accommodating. There are several smaller business avocations carried on in Grainfield, and there is room for all. The town is not making any pretensions in an over growth. It commands a trade from the surrounding country rich in agri culture and grain and stock, and seems to be contented with what they have in sight. WHEAT YIELD SHY IX TREGO. Still Two Oollyer Elevators Handled 180,000 Bushels. Collyer, Kan., Feb. 23. The wheat last year was shy of a big yield so far as Trego county and Collyer wero concerned. Yet the two elevators handled about 180.000 bushels, while considerable still is in the hands of the growers. It must be remembered that the wheat raisers in the section of Trego county tributary to Collyer claim that it is superior to most wheat-producing sections and no one seems to want to dispute it. The wheat lands are here and the crops are rais ed year after year, and these tell the story. Collyer has a state bank and depos its aggregating about $7;",0t. It has met with fine success in this wheat growing section. Among other progres sive business avocations represented here there are two elevators, four gen eral stores, lumber yard, drug store, two hardware and implement houses, public school with three teachers, be sides three churches. It needs a hotel badly. While Collyer hag suffered on ac count of destructive fires in the busi ness district it did not retard her growth, and in the burned district sub stantial brick, stone and cement build ing have taken the place of the frame structures. While the town is young it mostly has grown up in the last two years. It Is also surrounded with one of the best farming sections as the visitor can see by the improved farms, attractive homes and roomy barns. One of the familiar landmarks of the Union Pacific road is J. H. Deatrich. who has been a resident of Collyer for the last 18 years. Mr. Deatrich was in the employ of the company for 38 years. He is on the retired list now, with a deserved nest egg coming in monthly from the railroad. Every day in the week, in sunshine or cloudy weather. Mr. Deatrich visits the Union Pacific depot in Collyer. The Collyer Lumber company has branched out. and carries hardware and furniture, too. George S. Welling, J. B. Mack and W. A. Mack are the company, with yards at several other places. E. S. Thomas, of Kansas City, recently succeeded W. M. Bennett as manager. WITHOUT rXIVERSITT STUDENTS Ten Kansas Counties.'

LAWS OF NO AVAIL If the Individual Citizen Forgets His Duty, Says T. R. Chicago. Feb. 23. Th velt, coming, as he said, to "endeavor to translate to present day needa the work and will of Washington and Lin coln," met with a reception here such as was nis when he was president. The former Dresident did not devl. ate to any appreciable extent from his speeches of the immediate past. He gave again his definition of "new na tionalism," pleaded for execution of duty in preference to demand of "rights" and worked himself into his rormer earnestness only when ad dressing 3,000 Boy Scouts in the board of trade buildiner. The keynote of his day's talking was that no amount of laws would be of avail if the individual citizen forgot his duty. The speaker said that after all the trouble with this country was not "big business," wicked corpora tions, corrupt public officers, etc., but tne iaiiure through carelessness, un- appreciation or lack of understanding, to exercise his individual duty to him self and his fellow men.

Will Ask for Western Kansas Branch of State Agricultural College. Oakley, Kan., Feb. 23. Now that an experiment station, a branch of the State Agricultural college, is to be lo cated in western Kansas, the Oakley people are going to ask for its location here. They claim that this town is the logical place for several reasons, one of which is that Oakley is located in a corner of Logan county, and in close proximity to the corners of Thomas, Gove and Sheridan counties. Another reason is that there is vaiu- Trial Package to Prove It Sent Free. Any man or woman gets awfully tired of going around with a pimply face day after day.

The State Journal la 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 Stats Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. The suit to break the will of the late Mrs. Eddy appears to be progressing favorably for the lawyers. More of them are being hired every, day. If Jack London has been wounded as a result of his participation tri the Mexican revolution, it must Be a wound of the self-inflicted variety.. If King George of England has any more levees to give, any number of Kansas towns that are built along erratic creeks could find good use for them. Strange things continue to happen. Senators Bristow and Curtis are agreed in opposition to the proposed increase In the postal rates on magazine adver tising. China really seems to be having V. -.4 1slr tVkon licillll Not OnlV h-3 she famine and plague to fight at home, but the armies of the czar are. threatening to Invade her frontiers. It is, indeed, a long road without a turn. A Mexican bull fighter of great repute actually got the worst of it the other day when he was putting on his stunt in Spain with on such animal. Evidently the reorganization of the Topeka school board was not in vain. For the first time in many moons, To peka school warrants are no longer stamped "not paid for want of funds." Representative Morris Sheppard of Texas is a gentleman of unusual dis cernment. His characterization of Col onel Roosevelt as "the human seidlitz powder" is worthy of a distinguishing medal. Philadelphia is not so slow after all. It has discovered that dyed fish is be ing sold within its midst for the smoked variety. Still, both varieties are inclined to be dead fish. In making the statement that Kan sas will give its next electoral vote to President Taft, Senator Curtis had evi dently not consulted with Henry Allen. But, then, maybe Mr. Allen ha chang ed his views on this subject. If the Kansas legislature adjourns on March 8 la accord with the resolu tion to that effect which has passed the bouse, it is safe to prophesy that the Important things left undone will out number those done in the ratio of three to one. The Oregon plan of nominating sen ators has received a severe Jolt in Iowa, when after passing both houses of the legislature it has been vetoed fcy the governor on the ground that it is unconstitutional. The constitution is a great institution to fall back upon .when it is desired to obstruct progress. Six of the eight candidates for the mayoralty of Chicago have already pent in the aggregate about J70.000 for campaign expenses, and the end of the campaign is yet some distance away. Being mayor of Chicago must be a lucrative job. Or maybe it's the honor of the thing that counts for so much. President Taft has warned congress that he will call an extra session if the reciprocity measure fails of pas sage between now and March 4. Now the Democrats have retaliated by making it known that if congress be reassembled they will rip up the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. We shall see what we shall see. During the year 1909 something like 86.443,000 hogs were killed In the United States. Eliminating the several- mil lions of people in this country who re fuse to eat pork, this makes about a hog a piece for tha pork eaters. It's a truth that not many people have the faintest idea of the quantity of stuff they eat in a year. Now that the United States has de cided to build the two largest battle ships that have ever been put together, the naval constructors of England, Germany, France and Japan will like ly work overtime preparing plans for tha construction of dreadnoughts which will make these new American warships look like rowboats. In handing down a decision to the effect that only money and not ad vertising can be accepted by inter state railroads in payment of trans poration, the supreme court of the United States seems to be several laps behind the times, begging its pardon. That condition has prevailed In these parts for such a lengthy period that memory runneth, not to the contrary. THAT RECIPROCITY PLAN. It's a rather anomalous condition of affairs that the great agricultural states of the nation, the hot-beds of the insurgency movement In the Re publican party, should be making the loudest protests against the adoption of the bill that provides for reciprocity with Canada. It will be remembered that during the making of the present tariff law most of the Republican rln surgents in congress denounced the Payne act in unmeasured terms be cause it did not keep faith with the promises in the Republican national niatfnrm hv making more material re ductions in the various tariff schedules, and particularly those which might af fect the high cost of living, presum ably these insurgents represented the sentiment of their folk at home. Yet, when a move is made for reciprocity with Canada, a move that will have a tendency to reduce the cost of living, these same folk are marching with the opposition. Rut rerhan9 the fears of some Of the farmers, who are protesting against this reciprocity, are inclined to be ex aggerated. Mavbe the danger of in- Jury to their business is not as great as they imagine if the reciprocity pian nrevails and farm products are admit ted to this country free of duty from Canada. There is not much of a sur plus nowadays in Canada. About all of the oroducts of the farms in that country are needed at home, with the possible exception of wheat, and it is not likelv that any increased produc tion in Canada will much more than keep pace with fast-Increasing popu lation of that country. men. too, when it comes to the matter of pro rtnclnsr thines. the farmers of the United States ought to bo able to com- nt successfully on an even rooting with the farmers of Canada, or the farmers of any other section of tne world. Tt i -president Taft's idea, ana it certainly appears to be well-founded, thnt the DrODOsed reciprocity with Canada will work out with the great est good for the greatest number.

Amonsr all tariff-making theories. that whtph concerns anything In the nature of an equitable plan for re ciprocity between two countries nas the most to recommend it. And now that President Taft has worked out one such plan with Canada, it is surely worthy of being given a trial. If it does not work out satisfactorily there will Toe no trouble about abrogating it. ONE METHOD OF IJE5GISLATEVG. In one of the newspaper stories tell ing about the passage of the public util ities bill in the senate this statement was made: "Many of the standpats voted for the bill believing that the supreme court will kick the props from under the entire act" This is a practice that has been in dulged on various occasions in other sessions of the Kansas legislature. Nor is it foreign to legislative activity in other states. And the suggestion has been made that similar action has been taken in congress. sut Decause the practice has been more or less general, there is certainly nothing in It that is worthy of being commended. t tv, favorite trick of clever and crafty lawyers to nullify the purposes of legislation. They may do opposeu. Tira nrinclples of a measure but find themselves in an almost hope less minority. Then they scneme around and get an involved amend ment or two in the bill, amendments that will destroy the aims of the legis lation. Like as not, they will turn around and vote favorably on the final passage of the measure, particu larly if it is one that is popular with the people. In this way they go on record as favoring it. No sooner is such a law put in op eration than it is taken to the courts, and the court of last resort finds it necessary to declare either the whole measure unconstitutional, or to vitiate its most important sections because they are at variance with the funda mental law of the state. And tnen the court is assailed for undoing an act of the legislature. Some people shout that the whole system of pro cedure in this country which permits the supreme court of the United States to pass on acts of congress, and the supreme court of states to pass on legislative acts, is faulty. It is likely to be the case that some of the men who appear to be most wrathy over such judicial acxion would have been terribly disappointed if it had not been taken. And they Tnnv have been responsible for help ing to frame the legislation in such a way that the courts could do notnmg else than break it down. Such a system of legislating is all that It should not be. It is anything but fair to the courts. A measure should be considered in the legislature strictly on its merits. If there is a majority in the legislature in favor of It, they should see to it that no amend ments are permitted to creep in as to whose constitutionality there is the slightest question. DOUBLE THE GRAIN YIELD. "W shall have to double our out put of grain within the next half cen tury," said President Waters a few days ago, according to the Kansas In dustrialist. "This means that we must, practically, double our acre yield. Of course, a part of this increase must come from better soil culture, more systematic crop rotation, better utili sation of our manures, etc. but a con siderable part of it must come from planting better seed. "With two varieties of corn, grown side by side, under identical condi tions of soil, sunlight, moisture, culti vation, eta, It very often happens that one will produce as little as twenty five bushels an acre, while the other may yield a hundred bushels. "Indeed, it has been found repeat edly that the seed from two years of the same variety of corn, grown under similar conditions, will show a differ ence In yield of forty bushels an acre. "Similar differences with respect to the yield of the other farm crops have been Just as frequently noted, "As yet there are no half dozen standard varieties of staple farm crops that are widely adapted and possess the superior merit that the standard beef and dairy strains of cattle possess for their particular uses. "Upon reflection, it is to be expected that this would be true, for our live stock has been improved for more than a hundred years, and our farm crops scarcely ten years." The problem, then, is how to seize upon these high producing strains and fix them into varieties that will trans mit their producing qualities. But it has already been found that farm crops do not have the wide climatic adaptation that improved live stock have, and It will be necessary, before success is reached, to find strains espe cially adapted to the different soil types and the different conditions of rainfall, temperature, sunlight, etc.. When strains possessing peculiar adaptation to a particular area are found, it will bo the business of the state and of those interested in the public welfare to encourage the most general use of such strains within' that area. For example, the Kansas State Agri cultural college has produced and sold to the farmer, within the last four years, more than 15,000 bushels of pedi greed seed of Kharkof wheat, a variety that has proved to be an excellent pro ducer in the hard winter wheat region of Kansas, as well as one of the very best of the milling sorts. This wheat has proved so profitable that the farm ers who bought seed from the college have, through tho co-operation of the college, sold their output as seed, un til a conservative estimate shows that over two millions acres, or nearly one third of the total area of wheat of the state, was gown to this variety last fall. JOURNAL ENTRIES Many grown-ups have even more curiosity than have the children. Even the people who like to be waited on best never get enthusiastio over being served with subpoenas. After all, attending to other people's business must be profitable, so many folk devote all their time to it. Most of the powers-that-be in poll tics are not among the men who talk the loudest and the longest. Way down in every man's heart there's a longing for an opportunity to come his way that will give him a chance to shine as a hero. JAYHAWKER JOTS "When an engaged couple argue, they call it a discussion," says the so ciety reporter of the Hiawatha World. Here's the way Charlie Blakesley puts it: The state agricultural college now teaches table manners as stable manners. Time is the only thing that flies, says the Marysville News, and is per fectly safe in doing the spiral dip and the fadeaway glide. According to the Hiawatha World, one of the new songs floating around Its neighborhood is entitled; "Do mar ried men make the best husbands?" Speaking of engraving the Lord's prayer on a pinhead, the Indepen dence Evening Star remarks: Many a pinhead has had the Lord's prayer en graved on his memory, and it did pre cious little good. John MacDonald uses the columns of the Western School Journal to tell this "true" story: "The principal of a vil lage school in Kansas one morning or afternoon detected a boy cutting the letters of his name in the desk in front of him. As the novels would put it, the principal rushed to tbe spot, angrily put forth his hand intending to grasp the boy by the collar, when lo! and also behold! close by the newly formed letters were the initials of the princi pal's own name cut by himself when he was a pupil In the same school. His grasp upon the boy's collar unloosened itself, and he returned to his desk. a sadder and a wiser teacher. That principal is today Judge of an impor tant court In one of the greatest cities in the world. We often wonder whether or not in the administration of Justice the Judge ever thinks of the incident in the village school I" Dr. Crank of Hill City is a very practical man, according to the Repub lican. It says: "There are men who just talk, and thews are men who do things. One of the latter is Dr.. N. Crank, one of the oldest settlers in Graham county. He built up one of the nicest farm homes in the county, and then sold it for the best price ever paid for a farm in this vicinity. And in retiring from the farm at a ripe oli age he did not chase off after falso gods, but moved into town and com menced the erection of a fine city home. His residence in the east part of town is not the largest in town, but it is a model and equipped with every modern convenience. And best part of his efforts is yet to tell. He purchased five acres of A. B. Pipes, east of his residence, has plowed it up and is now enriching it.

At one side of the reservoir he has a fine well, equipped with a pump and gasoline engine, over which he Is building a pumphouse 16 by 20. Mr. Crank's purpose is to irri gate all that his engine and tank will cover and raise garden sass" for the city. The faith and enterprise of such men as Mr. Crank do more to demon strate the possibilities and opportuni ties of our county than tons of high sounding literature.

A couple of years ago some railway work was In progress at Frankfort, and a part of it was being done by two rival contractors who held a bit ter grudge against each other because of private quarrels. They were drunk en, disreputable, worthless Individuals, who had disgusted that quiet and de cent town by their brawling for some time. One day one of them primed him self with booze and went hunting for the other, and found him. Murder was committed" on the main street of the town, in broad daylight, in the sight of scores of people. The mur derer had one trial a year ago, and now is having another, and it is drag ging along slowly as though there was any doubt about the guilt of the ac cused. The costs are piling up as time goes on, and the county will have to stand it. The lawabiding taxpayers of that county will have to liquidate a bill of several thousand dollars be cause a reckless and worthless ruffian filled his skin with whisky and went gunning. A Frankfort paper utters a loud protest. It sees no Justice in the fact that a certain community must stand the expense and weariness and hu miliation of such a trial, merely be cause the murderer happened to make that community the scene of his crime. Both the murderer and his victim were strangers in the town, and had no interests there, and no friends. Why should Marshall county have to foot the bills in the case? Such a protest does no good, how ever. Society everywhere has its un just burdens. All over this country the lawabiding people are paying the bills for those who- defy the law. Emporia Gazette. THE ART OF DINING. If there are any Kansans who still Inhale their soup, or mistake a knife for a shovel and their mouth for a bin, or who have other discrepancies of table manners, they may now go to school and learn better, although a Higher Education should hardly be necessary to teach one that gentle manners are as much to be desired as a gentle voice. The Kansas Agricul tural college, which is responsible for a number of sensible notions, is teach ing the art of dining among other things in a varied and practical cur riculum. And it might teach any number of less important subjects. No need to make table etiquette a hobby, and carry It to foolish ex tremes which use up most of your mental energy keeping the forks and spoons properly catalogued. But, on the other hand, there Is still less excuse for tackling your repast as if you were used to taking it in a hurry and from a trough. Good manners are as essential to politeness, or near ly so, as the proprieties of speech, and they should come easily for one who has consideration for others. But this art of dining suggests a far wider field than merely instruct ing the young idea which fork to use. and not to drink- up the contents of the finger bowls or pour tea in a saucer. There might also be some instruction in what to eat, how much and when. These are more important matters than the mere rules of eti quette of the table, for they touch with great force that-most important of all topics: health. And there are fewer subjects which are so disre garded. KansanaJike the people of other fat states, e-oo much, Many of them eat too rapidly, and use little judgment in selecting the articles of diet. Until these things are taught, and the teaching observed," the public health will not approach the stand ard it should. The art of dining should not be confined to the Agri cultural college, or technical learning; it should find a place In every school from the kindergarten to the uni versity.- Atchison Globe. i FROM 01JSER PENS FRANCE. Price Collier, an American long a resident of England, who attracted some attention a year or two ago by a critical book about that country, has this to say in Scribner's concerning France: The world wonders at the decadence of schoolridden France, where the boys are effemlnatized, the youth secu larized and the men sterilized morally and patriotically: France with its ro- lice without power, its army without patriotism and its people without in fluence; disorderly at home and crlne- ing abroad; a nation owing its autono my, even, to tne tact tnat it is service able as a buffer state. It is amazing to see such comment written by an American for an Amer ican magazine. It occurs In the course of an article on England in India, and it puts tne extraordinary virtues of England In opposition to the extraor dinary vices of France. This opinion is not snared by one American in a thousand. Practically all who have read much and thought much, hold France in the highest esteem and still regard ner as a leader or civilization. The achievement of the French re public in establishing itself so firmly in the face of hostile Europe is one of the greatest recorded in modern times. France was never richer. stronger, happier than now. She holds the purse of the world. She has en joyed for more than a century liber ties which Englishmen might envy, but have not shared. New York World. SANITATION IN PANAMA. All the world is aware, in a general way, that sanitary conditions in the Panama canal zone have been vastly improved since American methods, ap plied by Americans, were introduced in that region. Indeed, t is quite gen erally understood that the former con ditions down that way could not prop erly be designated as "sanitary" at all. From time to time have come reports, official and otherwise, of the advance ment that has been made, and the public has been kept fairly well in formed in that respect. Many there are who have not forgotten the wag gish and rather unkind intimation of a few years ago that the first health officers who went from the Ijmted States to take up the work of sanita tion in Panama anchored their ship at a very safe distance from the shore and remained on board tne snip. There is no occasion for staying out side the three-mile limit now for fear of encountering a pestilence. The mortality rate among residents of the canal zone shows a definite reduction from year to year. A correspondent of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal states that in 1904, when the Dopulation was small, there was a death rate per 1,000 of 15; the fol lowing year a somewhat higher rate, about 65 per 1,000, and in 1908 it had droDDed to 24 ner thousand; last year, 22 per 1,000, corresponding favorably with the mortality in any of the large American cities.

And lo! the hot street vanished, and the voice Of blatant commerce suddenly was hushed; I seemed to walk along cool .corridors. Where fountains played, and priceless statues gleamed; Out from an aloove tiptoed tender notes Of harp strings lightly touched; a woman laughed; And silken garments, kissing marble floors, Exhaled a fragrance subtle as their sound. No discords marred the harmony of life; Beauty, and mirth, and music made the world. What necromancy lies in little things. What necromancy lies In vagrant airs. Idle and happy, basking in the sun. w nere art witn nature neia nign carnival. One summer day, there fell upon mine ear A half-forgotten melody. It flayed My heart out into strings, whereon the hand Of pain strummed misereres: and the light. Spilling upon earth from flawless skies. Was changed and charged with darkness. From deep graves, Dead sorrow rose, with mold upon their shrouds; And in the eyeless sockets of their skulls Burned old despairs.

While congress is in the mood to consider the welfare of Mount Ver non, it could well go a step beyond forbidding its desecration by the es tablishment in its immediate vicinity of a penal Institute. The truth is that Mount Vernon is in sore need of a small endowment. Just enough to per mit the management to dispense witn the admission fee it is now necessary to impose in the absence of other means of maintenance. Nobody ap proves of this charge, absurdly small though it be, the regents least of all; but there was very little left after paying the purchase price to the Washington heirs out of the fund ac cumulated by the Hon. Edward Ever ett as the result of his patriotic er forts, and Mourft Vernon has since been left to its own slender resources Under the efficient management of the Hon. Harrison H. Dodge, the su perintendent, there has been a mar velous transformation. The grounds have been reduced to order, and the discipline of the attendants and servi tors is simply admirable. Under the present management the entire prop erty has undergone a thorough over hauling that does not modernize or vulgarize it. Duplicate drawings have been made of all the decorations, the carvings, the inlaid-work everything In fact, necessary to an exact repro duction of the building from top to bottom, should it ever be destroyed by any accident. And now congress Duts almost the final touch upon the arrangement by ordaining that no sordid and discordant intrusion snail profane a neighborhood already sa cred as the home of Washington, but further celebrated by the homes of the Lees, the Masons, and other his toric families. It seems to us that congress might take one step further a very inex pensive but most Impressive and signi ficant one by so endowing the present Mount Vernon establishment as to remove the need of petty charges on the public.

It is done in this way: First, the dating nails are manufactured, with the proper numerals on tne neaas, in dicating the year; for example, "11" meaning the year 1911. Then one of these nails is driven Into each new tie as it is laid on the track. Thus In the future the maintenance of way experts will be able, upon the replacement of a tie, to know Just how long it has lasted. The Lehigh Valley is having its crossties, switch, and bridge timber treated at the creosoting plant near Bound Brook.

It is expected that the injection of creosote oil into the pores of the wood will double its life. Newark News. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Men and women are overgrown chil dren.

A beatiful wife may be but a mat ter of expense to her husband. It is easier to pose as a hero than it is to get a medal for heroism. Between the two evils, it's better to be called down than shown up. How miserable most of us would be if we could see ourselves as others see us! We are frequently reminded that common sense isn't as common as it should be. A woman learns a lot about a man's ignorance when he tries to explain something to her. And every time a married man gets Into trouble other men's wives begin to sit up and take notice. When a small man is clothed with little brief authority it's usually hard on those over whom it extends. If it Is true that a word to the wise is sufficient, there are wives who evl dently do not consider their husbands in Solomon s class.

Before I begin a story I fasten my eyes on a picture sorrethlng to look deep into and fore-at th world. and from that my mind wanders up and away until I become sufficiently ueiucnea to evolve a romance of my own," she replied. "When will you come, tomorrow afternoon, perhaps?" he urged. "Yes, tomorrow," she agreed. "Come early, if you will; the light Is better, and then I will give you tea and you can tell me what you think of the pictures." Waring left her at her door and walked home on air. Forgetting the many times that his fancy had been seized in the same volcanic way, he assured himself that never in his life had he known anyone whom he ad mired so unreservedly. She was beau tiful in a romantic way, fine and re fined, and without a touch of the Bohemianism that marred the other women he knew who lived the un sheltered life. In the morning he made a picture. In the foreground were talL slim trees and a pool in which the sky and the trees were reflected, and the background was illimitable space. When she came, and her coming was an event, he took her from pic ture to picture while he listened to her praise glorying in the fact that she could see what he saw, love what he loved. Last of all he showed her his morning's work. She said nothing for manv mo ments ana while she looked at the picture, he looked at her. Turning suaaeniy, sne saw nis race, a face transfigured by the beauty of the tnougnts whirling in his brain. Involuntarily she nut out her hand. He took it in his -own. holding it cioseijr. "That is' the" most beautiful of gJl," she said, softly. "You Inspired it. I made it for you. It is yours to do with as you like," Waring told her. "Oh, but it is impossible. I couldn't take it. Yesterday we wore straneers to each other." She was looking at mm very seriously, though the color had deepened in her cheeks. Then he painted her, and the pic ture was a success beyond any former achievement. A period of exhaustion followed the creative effort and for days he did not try to see her. He had looked at her with the eyes of love, every glance had been a caress, but the word was unspoken. Marguerite attempted resolutely to put him out of her- thoughts. He was an artist, she told herself, given to sudden impulse. It was her face that he had cared for, and now that he had transplanted it to- canvas his enthusiasm had waned. Meanwhile, Waring tayed away deliberately. He, too, wss having his bad hour. He was harassed with self-distrust, with the fear that his emotions were Intense, not deep. He loved Marguerite, but would his love endure? He had loved before, but never a woman whose soul was so beautiful, whose mind was so fine. Even when his heart cried out for her, his fear of himself kept him away. One morning he awoke refreshed bodily and mentally. During the night doubt had been cast out. If he could win this one woman in the world, live with her daily, all the lesser qualities of his nature would fall into line, would be dominated by tne higher. He went to see her. She came toward him with the gravity of glance mat ne lovea, witn nothing gone from the friendliness of her greeting. It was as if she had not noticed his absence. If he had needed a spur no other attitude would have given It so thor oughly. "I have not seen you for a week,1 he said, holding her hand closely. "There have been many weeks you did not see me," she said. "We had not met each other in this Incarnation, that was all," he said. "But you really don't believe that, do you, tnat our souls live many lives? sne asked. "Just now I believe only one thing, that I have known you always," and added mentally, "and loved you al ways." "How can an artist and a poet find time for such deep, metaphysical in vestigation?" she asked hoping to turn the conversation into safer, less personal channels. "It is an instinctive feeling, that is ail. JNow l am going to give you some tea." he said. His intuition told him that she wanted the friend before the lover, and he was wise with the wisdom that comes, alas, with experience. They talked of things spiritual and things material until the afternoon was gone. He took her home, leav ing her with -a lingering handclasp and a long look into her eyes. The next day he returned, the pic ture that was hers framed and ready to hang. He Insisted upon hanging it, sweeping obstacles from his path with the energy that characterized him, and he Insisted upon hanging it over her desk, removing the picture already there with the deliberate in tent that it should be his picture that inspired her work and none other. His determination carried every thing before him. Every day he de vised some scheme that would bring them together; picture exhibitions to be viewed, music to be heard. His strnne- nersonalitv enfolded, her and shut her la away from the rest ol mankind. He brought her book to read, and even her thoughts colored by suggestive phrases that gave pause for reflection.

"It must hava been because you doubted the depth of my feeling, not its Intensity. And so I stayed away to find myself, and day after day I could find nothing but you. You are everything that there Is in the wona to me." He rose and moved toward her. She stood up, with a sudden Impulse toward flight. He took her hands and drew her toward him. "I am afraid of you," Eh; said, her eyes dark and her heart beating wildly. "And I am desperately afraid or you," he answered, "but love casts out fear," and he held her gentry and tenderly until there was only love be tween them.

"Then in your opinion the only sort of woman one ought to marry Is one who Is of medium size?" "Mercy!" said the Cynic. "How forgetful I am! I for got her!" Lipplncott's. He burst In on the editor like an explos ion. "Why didn't we have a story of the fire?" he asked. The new editor looked calmly through his spectacles and replied: "What was the use of printing anything about it? Everybody in town was there to see the whole thing for themselves." Argonaut. Real Economy. A New England mother had come upon her 8-year-old son enjoy ing a feast whereof the components were jam. butter and bread. "Son," said tho mother, "don't you think it a bit ex travagant to eat butter with that fine Jam?" "No, ma'am," was the response. "It's economical; the same piece of bread does for both." Lipplncott's. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Some men have no bad habits, and not much of anything else. A woman sharpens a pencil as awk wardly as a man threads a needle. Fewer words, fewer blunders. This holds good in both business and poll tics. Some women can say "I don't care!" in a tone that plainly indicates they care a great deal. In every town there are some women whom grocery clerks dread to see come in the store. Considering its much advertised modesty, the first violet attracts a good deal of attention. .'An Atchison woman's proud boast is that she never glances in when passing a barber shop. A man who can drive eight horses in one team, naturally feels pretty proud of the achievement. Women never run out of something to talk about; probably for the reason that they don' need much. Ever know a disagreeable old man who always begnn the day by com plaining about the weather? People are such good detectives that there Isn't much difference between character and reputation. No branch line was ever so excellent that It failed to get the contempt of people living on the main stem. Although a good many men are charged with perjury, very few are convicted. What does that prove? The man who gambles, plays crap or the board of trade, is always tell ing his friends how unlucky he is. In a small country town, aristocracy Is usually Judged by the class of peo ple who stop at a two dollar a day hotel. It Is considered indelicate to say to a widow, still in weeds, that yoa have heard she is to be married again. An Atchison man is taking a cor respondence course in detective work. In America educational facilities are peerless. When a woman has only a few ad jectives, she makes them work hard enough to make up for the lack of numbers. -Women have-no monopoly on cur- foslty, as you can find out by keeping a secret from a man after he gets a Dark Hint. When a man with plenty of curly bair says he wishes said hair was straight, that Is his Way of trying not to be proud of his crown of glory.

American Vessel Was Poaching In Canadian Waters. Vancouver, B. C, Feb. 2 3. The Canadian cruiser Rainbo'w arrived here today with the captured Ameri can gasoline schooner Edrie in tow. The Kdrie is owned by the Chlopeck Fish company of Seattle and valued at $2S,000. It was seized on a charge of poaching in Canadian waters in the neighborhood of Hecate strait. The British Columbia government had been vigorously assailed in parliament for permitting the Seattle fishing boats to enter Vancouver island ports, when not in distress, to fish on the west coast of the island within the three mile limit and to fish in Hecate strait. Recently the cruiser Rainbow was sent away secrettly In quest of poachers. The seizure has an important bear ing on the reciprocity treaty now pending in congress, which places fish on the free list.

Begged Her to Stay With Him Till He Died. FIGHT FOR THE MONET Struggle in District Court Over the Woman's Claim. W'ashburn Trustees Are Resist ing the Suit. "He said if she would come and stay with him until he died, he would make her rich in his will." Around that statement made by Lee Osenberg, son of Ellen Osenberg, the housekeeper, who is suing the estate of John W. Moore for $6,850,' her counsel is weaving her claim. During the 13 years and 5 months from April, 1896, to September, 1909, when the old man died, Lee Osenberg lived in the same house at 1300 East Sixth avenue with Mr. Moore and his mother. He served an apprenticeship in the Santa Ke shops and is now em ployed as a machinist in Omaha, Neo. He is 28 years old. After the jury had been empanelled this morning, Mr. Osenberg was called to thi witness stand and occupied it the entire day. Upon direct examina tion, he stated that he had worked as a boy and paid his own expenses at the Moore home and that his mother, who received a widow's pension, also paid ner own grocery and clothing bills. H said Mr. Moore never gave his mother a cent so far as he knew. Further he testified that he had sat in the kitchen one evening at the sup per table when Air. Moore was at his desk in another rodm with his mother beside him. He said he heard Mr. Moore say to his mother that if she did not sign a paper, he would transfer all of his property out of his possession and she would never get a cent. The paper referred to, said Osenberg, was her agreement to the terms of hi3 will. This will, said Osenberg, was not before them at the time but Moore told his mother that in it he had be queathed her a farm near Meriden which would make her wealthy, She signed the paper. The original will was produced and introduced in evidence by Edwin L. O'Neil, attorney for Washburn col lege, which is the beneficiary. In it Mr. Moore grants Mrs. Osenberg a life estate in the home at IS 0.0 East Sixth avenue. And the written agreement of satisfaction signed by Mrs. Ellen Osenbery is attached. This home, however, and two small houses on the banks of the Shunga nunga ereek, all valued at $1,800, were deeded to Mrs. Osenberg before his death. The Meriden farm, which the son alleges was to be given to his mother, had been sold during the life of Mr. Moore. Osenberg made an excellent witness for Attorneys Schenck and Atchison, who are pushing his mother's claim. His replies were quick and direct. Upon cross examination by Mr. O'Neil, with J. B.

"It is unwise to drench the hair with water and scour it with soaD to achieve cleanliness. Too much moist ure ruins the hair makes it dull and brittle and the scalp hard and scaly, because it is robbed of the natural, oil necessary to hair growth. "Then, too, washing the head is ac companied by the danger of catching cold. Dry shampooning is a sensible method of cleansing the hair and scalp of all dandruff, dust and excess oil. "A perfect and inexpensive dry sham poo ipowder is made with four ounces of amotone and a half pound of corn meal, either white or yellow. Put in a fruit jar and stir and shake until thoroughly mixed. Sprinkle a table spoonful over the head, then brush out and your scalp will be clean and your hair light, fluffy and lustrous. It brushes out very easily." eery bill. he. said, amounted to fronv $14 to $lfr a month. The defense is cross examining in detail in the' expectation, of proving that Mr. Moore supported both the housekeeper and her son. A mental picture of the old man who by his will created the "John W. Moore fund" of $32,500 for the assist ance of poor children through Wash burn college was furnished by the wit ness when he. said the old man was sometimes up and seemingly well in the morning,, but ill before night, that he sat for hours -at his table in his sleeping room, looking over papers and that he was weak and feeble and the tapping of his' cane, as he walked i the floor at night, disturbed the alum- Der or the upstairs sleepers. Another picture drawn was that of the property deeded Mrs. Osenberg. The witness said he often visited these in a row boat and that one of them was about to slip off the creek bank into the water at any time. President Frank Sanders and Financial Agent Harrison of Wash burn college attended the hearing to day. The jury empanelled after consider able examination and delay is as fol lows: Wt S.

Commodore Henry Nason of Menominee is 83 years oid and still sets the pace in ice yacht racing on Green Bay, following a custom he has enjoved for more than thirty years. Commodore Nason has a handsome home on the shore of Green bay which he has occupied for half a cen tury, and in the season when the shimmering waters are transformed into a glttering sheet of ice his great est pleasure is a spin in his ice yacht, in the handling of which he is the greatest expert in the .world. The ice yachts used by Commodore Nason invariably are of his own con struction and among the swiftest of the Green hay fleet, and this is an honorof marked "distinction, for' the His 11a vorlte Ice Boat, Menominee course holds the world's record for speed the automobile and the aeroplane being relegated to the rear as slow and clumsy vehicles in comparison. The speed record for the Menomi nee course is hel by E. Nowak and E Dugas,- who made seven miles on a kite-shaped course in five minutes, running before the wind at the rate of 142 miles an hour. Commodore Nasen; who is fhe fath er of ice boat sailing in Menominee, thinks nothing of a mile a minute clip in his bird-like craft, and in the season may be found any day on the Menominee course enjoying the sport with the rest of the boye. He Is one of Menominee's staunch old pioneers and is closelv identified with the up building of the ctty, having been a justice of the peace and coroner for more than thirty years.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1911. 1 MAY BEJO VOTE. Validity of lorimer's Election May Remain Unsettled. Senator BeVeridge Replies to Speech of th Defendant. Washington. Feb. 23 The validity of the election of Senator Lorimer of ?iHnois will not come to a vote in ?he wSate today and probably not for !everal day. yet-if at all at this ses Jon of congress. That was made evi dent in an interchange winch Preced o,l the long antl-Lorimer speech de livered today by Senator Beveridge. Mr Lorimer did not listen to the Indiana senator's speech. He sat through most of the other attacks on his election but he did not intend to speak again. Senator Beveridge addressed him-Fr-if at the outset of his remarks to the speech delivered yesterday by Sen ator Lorimer in his own defense. Mr. jieveridge recalled the attention of the senate from the eloquence of Mr. l.orimer to "the record of sworn tes timony before the people of the Unit f.,1 States testimony given under oath and searched as by fire with fierce cross examination," and he added, 'I shall 'nothing extenuate nor aught pet down in malice.' I shall 'nothing extenuate' because I ought not; nor shall I 'aught set down in malice,' because I have no malice. Indeed," he continued, "In my examination of the evidence if I mis state any testimony or fail to give it fairly and fully, I will take it as a personal favor if any senator better posted than I, will correct me; for I par to the senate that I had far rather he shown to be in error than to be permitted to make any misstatement of the facts. Gravity of the Issue. "I go further and say that I would far rather find that the testimony es tablishes the validity of this election than that the testimony vitiates the election. The validity of the election is the issue and the only issue; and as I said the other day It is the gravest issue that can arise under free insti tutions because our government de pends absolutely on the purity of the elections." Mr. Beveridge said he had listened tvith peculiar personal sympathy to Senator Lorimer's story of his rise from humble estate to this high place. There were many senators, he said, who from even earlier youth had borne heavier burdens. "But while I was affected as a man by that appeal," said the speaker, "I ivas curious as a judge that the sit ting member did not recite these things liefore the senate's committee if he or his attorneys thought them material or relevant. "His newsboy experience and the de voted friendship between himself an! HInky Dink' resulting therefrom is engaging, but it is not material as to the corruption of Holstlaw, "White, Beckmeyer, Link and others. 'Hinky Dink,' according to Mr. Lorimer, de livered Urimn's vote, Dut lirmin swore he had not been asked by any one to vote for Mr. Lorimer: and Henry Tir rell swore that Griffin suggested that he vote for Lorimer and said there was $1,000 in It anyway. Yet in recit ing this phase of his life the Illinois Bitting- member, without knowing Jtr. has thrown light upon one portion of the testimony." Senator Beveridge went on to take up various incidents recited yeHterday by Mr. Lorimer illustrative of his acts of kindness to constituents and others. Actions Not Peculiar. "Yet praiseworthy as it is, such con duct is not peculiar to the sitting mem ber," he declared, "for there are sena tors here and thousands of private citi zens everywhere who have done much the same thing. The sitting member's generosity which all of us admire and approve is not pertinent to the case for no one doubts his benevolence. While my sympathy and approval as a man were aroused by his picturesque and praiseworthy Incidents, my judgment as a member of this court was not af fected, for my judgment was not ap pealed to. The issue we must de termine is that of the validity of the election challenged here on the ground of bribery. On that grave charge no light was thrown. "The sitting member (Mr. Beveridge constantly called him that) says every Republican from his district voted for Hopkins, that he urged the election of Shurtleff. that he tried to get Gover nor Deneen to run; that all this took place before he himself became a can didate. All this is important politi cal history, no doubt; but what has it to do with the alleged bribery we now are considering?" Mr. Beveridge went on to remind the senate that the record of the in vestigation showed why it was desired to elect Governor Deneen senator. "Browne tells us," said he, "that they would have been willing to elect Deneen In order to get rid of him. Why did they want to eliminate Governor Deneen? As to Hopkins and Shurtleff, while it is of no possible consequence it may be suggested that a wise nn- litical manager would throw votes to Hopkins when they could not elect him because that would modify the real Hopkins' votes for nny future Diana. The support of Shurtleff when he could not be elected would have flattered him." As to tlie "Bell Wether.'.' "I make no complaint of this view of that transaction, for it was permis sible strategy in that kind of political manipulation wnicn appears to be be coming so usual m the election of United States senators." The speaker referred to the general amusement occasioned yesterday by Lorimer's allusion to the "bell wether," but he added the sitting memoer mace one mistake in attrib uting the invention of the term "bell wether" to the senator from New York. ine person who first called "Manny" Abrahams the bell wether of the Browne faction was Browne him self, as the record shows. "On a purely party vote, when a senator comes in from work in com mittee, it is the loose practice to vote as his party associates are voting. But this does not mean the surrender to another's keeping of the vote which we are sent nere to cast. "I never understood that my oath and duty as a senator was that I am to cast my vote on every question ac cording to the vote of any bell wether, however eminent." The speaker declared that while the sitting member had explained whv many votes were cast for him, that was "not relevant to the validity of this election, which is questioned on the ground of corruption of other votes." "Suppose the owner of many tracts of lana was aeienaing a suit against the title of one of these tracts of land which suit was based on the charge cf fraud. Would any court permit this land owner to plead in answer to the charge of fraud as to his title to this particular tract that hft had acquired other tracts without fraud?" Turning to the assurances given yesterday to the senate by Mr. Lorimer as to his fair and courteous treatment cf his Democratic opponents, Beveridge gave such conduct his hearty approval. While the sitting member's kindness to Democrats is praiseworthy." he said, 'it is not material to the question of bribery. Many years ago a great writer of comic opera held the English speak n .nriA marina- at the familiar de vice of a certain type of lawyers whose practice was to try to influ ence juries and courts by irrelevant matter; and in derision of this prac tice the song became popular, begin- n'" Flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la. have nothing to do with the ii"the course of his speech Senator Beveridge practically charged that the report in the case originally prepared 1 ,v frha members was not LI1U PJfsWv. J the same report which afterward was submitted to the senate. When appealed to to say whether this was the fact. Senator Depew said l i r, wimpmhftr all thn details and suggested that the Indiana senator call some other witness. QUANAH PARKER DEAD. Famous Comanche CSiief a Victim ot Pneumonia.

Today was swamp land and flood dis trict day in the house, a half dozen or more measures relating to drainage, having been set for hearing under special orders. The most important of these bills was the measure by Orr, of Atchison, containing 51 printed pages, j and generally revising and improving tha law n ll.ol n n rr .1 Hlct. a Thio Vi i 1 1 wn W. V.. Oil IIBfetl 111 occupied the house a greater part of the day session. It is an important meas ure as it will, if it becomes a law. revolutionize the drainage laws of the state. It goes into every detail of the plan of creating a drainage district and condemning land and selling bonds and spending the money for such public i improvements. Olinger, of Shawnee, got recommend- ed for passage his township drainage i act giving additional powers to the township trustees in the matter of drainage land or widening or deepen ing ditches. The bill by the committee on agricul ture relating to the storage of surface water was also recommended for pas sage. This measure provides that where any farmer or landowner builds a dam or reservoir that will hold a consider able amount of water the county com missioners shall (have authority to re duce his tax valuation $100. When the reservoir or dam is- more pretentious and concrete work used in its con struction, 'the exemption from taxation can be raised to $300. The idea of the bill is to encourage the conservation of water in the state as much as possi ble. Orr of Atchison, this morning brought up his resolution providing for an investigation of state officers. Af ter a brief debate between Mr. Orr and Speaker Buckman, the resolution was set for special order next Monday morning-. KNOW ABOUT FAIR. Applications for Space Are Already Pouring In. Secretary H. L. Cook of the Kansas State Fair association, who returned today from Iowa and other points where he has been inspecting sheep and hog barns at the big fairs, has returned filled with enthusiasm over tl e, prospects of building up a fair in Topeka which will In time compare favorably with the best institutions of the kind in the country. "There are now more applicants on file in the office from manufacturing firms that wish to exhibit at the fair next fall than we had just before the fair last year. In Des Moines and Lincoln I have been looking at the sheep and hog barns. To get the best possible building9 on our fair grounds we must combine the best points of the buildings on the older fair grounds. If this is done we will have the most modern buildings in the country." RESPITE FOR SNiDER. AVickcrsliam Saves Former Kansan From the Penitentiary. Kansa3 City, Feb. 23. Raymond P. May and S. H.

Leahy has written the fol lowing letter to Senator Brewster: "I should have written to you ear lier, thanking you for your abuse of me' yesterday. To be openly de nounced by a senator in the act of betraying his constituents, in giving expression to the doctrine that the people of his state can not be trusted with the function of self government. and indicating that unfaithfulness to representative duty is a virtue among public men, is a compliment that I did not expect and an honor that but few men in this state have ever re ceived. "It was a significant fact that at the very hour you were speaking against the right of the Kansas people to have a determining voice in their affairs, the prime minister of England was proposing resolutions in parliament destroying the power of the house of lords for having denied the people of England an identical right. Kansas will finally stand for the doctrine of government by the people, as England is now doing, and here, as well as there, the masses will win in the end. "Assuring you of my great apprecia tion of your open and eloquent per sonal abuse under the circumstances I have stated, I am" and -the usual formal ending. DEATHS AM) FUNERALS.

The discussion of the Pittsburg di vorce bill was continued this after noon and Brewster of Doniphan coun ty led the argument in favor of the Crawford county plan. He urged that Pittsburg was entitled to what was asked and that the state would not lose any money as a result of the di vorcing of the two schools. He said that President Hill had seldom visited the Pittsburg school "and that he was really prejudiced against this institu tion. Further, Brewster said that the Emporia normal drew only from a limited territory and that in point of attendance the school had reached its zenith. Senator Stannard of Lyon county denied all of these statements and said that President Hill had given the Pittsburg school a fair deal and that a majority of "the board of regents was opposed to the separation of the schools. Stannard said the schools were on an equal basis and each re ceived the same treatment and con sideration. He urged the senate to de By the Topeka Rebate Association TopeKa Is the Place to Do Your Shopping and right now is the time to do it while every store is filled to overflowing with the attractive things.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAItTHURSD AY- EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1911. HAD A JOLLY TIME. (Continued from First Page.) Senator Reed's Speech. Senator Reed said he had no set speech and he talked without notes of any kind, but his address was a word picture of coming Democratic victory painted by a master hand. He in spired his hearers and won applause at every interval in his glowing eulogy cf tho efforts cf the Democracy con tinued in the face of many defeats. T-"sing a metaphor to illustrate the courage and staying powers of his party year after year In Kansas, the senator said: "The men who have fought on empty stomachs and without hope of reward are the men who have always tione things in the world that will be talked about so long as histories are printed and read, stonewall Jackson's army, traveling on long marches with bleeding feet, an army of men w ho knew how to die, was one not safe to contend with. "When I see the young men of your educational institutions get up nere and talk so wisely and well on matters of great importance to the political world: when I see them thus prepar jr- to carry forward the battle for the right, I know that I am about to see nt last the sun of victory illuminate ho banners of the Kansas Democracy. "I believe that the Democrats of Kansas are entitled to more credit than the Democrats of any other state In the Union. You have gone aown to defeat rear after year, have met the enemy bravely in the face of cer tain catastrophe, and then camped on the field where you were defeated and noKsorl resolutions to give them a Viorrlpr ficht next time." Taking up the question of national politics, the speaker took a rap ai Republican tariff revision as follows: "The doors of congress are constant ly crowded with men who are seeking Artificial advantages, and you people are paying the freight. Every tariff enacted since the time when the pirates roamed the seas, and demanded tribute at the point of a cannon, lias. been an instance of rob bery and graft. Labor works with its hands in competition with men, and for every job there Is another man w hose stomach is empty; or who wants to carry borne food and clothing for his family. The farmer selling his wheat is in competition with every other farmer, including the pauper hordes of India and the serfs of Russia. Every farmer who raises a steer is in compe tition of Australia and South America The doctor has to compete "with his brother physicians in his town, and it lie cannot cure the sick as well as the others, he loses his practice. The law yers must compete with his brother lawyers in the matter of fees, of brains, of talent and industry. The school teacher and even the minister of the gospel must meet this competition. All must contend by strength of arm end brain. "But the man who has organized a corporation, with millions of fraudu lent stock, is entitled to protection! It Is only a system of organized graft. "History has been repeating itself for thousands of years, but I want to go back a ways in the history of Eng land. There was a time when the landed aristocrats owned practically every foot of tillable land In the coun try. They desolated the country by making immense parks, and devastat ing great farm tracts in pursuit of their game, so that the poor people could not raise enough corn and meat to feed themselves. And then laws were passed prohibiting the importa tion of corn and wheat. It reached the point where the peop'.e were at the point of starvation, and yet the law makers said, If we have cheap French wheat to fill our stomachs, there will he no work on English farms.' When the laws were struck down and cheap er corn was brought in, it made redder Talood and better manhood, and from that time England dated her commer cial supremacy. "The densest farmer would know better than to foster some weak things that never could be brought to worth. If a farmer went out to his barn some morning and found a wobbly colt with e. sway back, that was unable to stand alone, he might feed it with milk and try to make it worth something. But would he hold it in his arms for forty years and keep feeding it with a spoon? Wouldn't he know long before that time that he never would make of it a plow horse? "Just so with the protected interests in this country. They ought to be buried so deep that an alfalfa root never could reach them. "The combines go down to Washing ton and the question is not how much they must have to live, but how much tan they get." Senator Reed paid his respects to the dominant party on the questions of conservation and reciprocity as fol lows: "After a half century of advocacy of monopoly tariffs against all the world, the patriots at Washington are battering holes in the wall they build ed, and are preparing to let in the ruinous flood from Canada. And President Taft is threatening to call a special session to carry out this pro gram. But the American forests have been cut down, and the young timber and lumber interests here do not need further protection. "I tell you the people must destroy the monopolies or the monopolies will destroy human liberty. The Demo cratic party is the friend of all honest capital, and no honest capital can make good without the party." His idea of insurgency as exempli fied in the Republican party was: "It is the gentleman who has just left his wicked companions, got down on his knees at the mourner's bench, then arose immediately to preach to the entire congregation and berate his former friends for their wickedness." Tho Other Speeches. A few epigrams culled from the ad dresses of last night: lu G. Folsom, "Democracy the Out look and tho Opportunity." "The principles of Democracy are a old as history and the struggle for 2 Gins Country Gentleman Sweet Corn 15c Wm. Green Son Gro. Co. TOMORROW their adoption has little more than be gun." "Platforms must be built, under whatever name, not of planks full of knot-holes and sap, not of purloined principles put in as vote catchers, not by the hot air inflation of minor is sues, so common during the heat of political campaigns, but ol the more modern material, solid concrete on bed rock." "Martyrdom, political and social martyrdom, is sometimes the price of victory, but it need not be if we will wisely use our power." "The outlook is encouraging because of the growing independence of the honest voter as shown in the last elec tion." "The progress of civilization de mands that statesmanship supersede partisan politics." "Upon good generalship depends the success of all great movements, but no ncneral can succeed without willing soldiers." "The trouble is that the professional politician, with his gum shoes and snickersnee, is playing the part of the Indian rather than that of the pa triot." "Let us have no giant conciliation stalking across the country in his 7 league boots. It is a long stride from Osawatomie to Oyster Bay." "If we will but train against the enemies of popular government the most powerful artillery the world has ever known, the honest, fearless press of the country, and cut their wires and ropes and fences with the keen blade of truth, the victory is ours. Henry f. E. Alierns, ''Kansas." "Only as the entire nation is pros perous can any state be prosperous. Only as the entire nation is powerful can the state be safe from foes, for eign and domestic." "Young men of today are not the heirs of the iprovincial idea which has hindered so much of the real progress of the people, wasted so many of the resources, shed so much of their blood." "The young men of today are the heirs of all the victories which states men and heroes have won for the gen eral welfare." "Now the danger has not been so much that the nation will interfere with the rights of the state as the state will interfere with the rights of the nation." "The time has at last arrived when the Democratic party is again in the good graces of that large floating vote which we call the independent vote." "Since Mr. Bryan became the leader of the party Democracy has set its face steadily toward the rising sun of progress and reform." "The Democratic party is as old as our constitutional history and having survived all of its defeats, is now not only vigorous but confident." "The Democratic party leans toward the people. The Republican party away from the people. The Democratic party has faith in the (people; the Re publican party has not. The Demo crats look back to Jefferson as the founder of their political faith; the Re publican leaders are the admirers of Hamilton. When one knows the dif ference between Jefferson and Hamil ton he knows the difference between the dominant thought of those who ad mire Jefferson and those who admire Hamilton." T. F. Morrison, "Kansas Democracy." Kansas Democracy is, indeed, a pleasing theme; there is sweet music in the sound of the words; there is re lief for a long suffering public in the crystalization of its principles into statutory law." "For half a century Kansas Democ racy has taught, voted and lived for the principles of Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan, and if 'Coming events cast their shadows before' we shall continue to adhere to these principles." As Democrats, we owe a debt to our party greater than the emoluments of office." 'The Democracy of Kansas is a mil itant, progressive Democracy." 'The rank and file of insurgency is only Democracy writ small." It is of little moment to Kansas De mocracy what the 'standpatters' of Kansas may or may not do, in this state, like the American buffalo, they are a vanishing race." "Democrats of Kansas take heart; Democracy is the history of your coun try. Democracy was the politics of the fathers: Democracy will return to its own. The day when the political mountebank could steal a few planks from your platform to lend respecta bility to his own has passed and gone forever. The day of the Democracy of Jefferson, Jackson, Bryan and Champ Clark, is at hand, and through it and by it Kansas will be redeemed and the republic of the United States will be saved." Thomas Hally, "Tariff Commissions." "The Republicans, say the tariff board will do away with all the tariff difficulties. They say it will cut the Gordian knot of all our tariff troubles, but alas! Every Eden must have its Satan and every land flowing in milk and honey must be visited by Philis tines, so let us see the difficulties of the commission." "It is to our advantage to make an article under high cost or is it better to Import it and let the competitors rule? Common sense tells us which is better but we know whose inter ests were closely guarded in the re cent tariff law. The second theory that wages need a high tariff is wrong." "The Greeks declined in learning when the national gods were cast aside for the family worship. This was not for the want of intellect or natural resources but rather the substitution was not of the right sort. "We as Democrats will not do as they did, tear down the old and not replace it with a better plan. We are pledged to the people to enact a tariff which will not be protective but one which supplies our revenue and which will bring about a gradual reduction of the duties without any harm to our present system of industries." Emmett Kyle "Democratic Victories." "The principles of the Democratic party are founded upon the living law of political affairs, that the largest liberty consistent with law and or der, should be every man's heritage." "The Republican party has simply become disgusted with its own prin ciples, for insurgency is nothing more or less than an open revolt within its ranks." "The people are demanding Demo cracy for the love of justice which it manifests, for its abhorrence of class favoritism, in legislation, taxation and administration." "Against a policy of greed and graft we place honesty and manhood, against trust domination we place American independence, against the selfish control of the privileged class, we place the sovereignty of the peo ple." "We stand upon the threshold of a new era of political power, and it rests with us, the Democrats of this country, to decide whether we shall march forth to fresh triumphs, or al low the Republican party to continue to misrule." "We challenge the proud privilege of doing the work that Providence al lots us. and we face the coming years high of heart and resolute of faitb that in our people is given the rieht to win such honor and renown as has never yet been vouchsafed to the na tions of mankind. "Then the -whole broad land, every furnace 'fire that roars, every whistle that blows, every anvil that rings, every locomotive that screams, every steamship that plows the main, ev ery mighty wheel that turns, will join in the glad, grand voice of prosperous, progressive, patriotic American, ap plauding the work of the grand Dem ocratic party." "I AM MOT GUILTY. fContinued from Page One.) for some person other than Senator Hopkins. So the simple statement of the truth docs away with the charge of Lorimer's organization for the pro motion of hia own dark lantern schemes tb defeat Mr. Hopkins." Going more into detail regarding the senatorial campaign, Mr. Lorimer quoted the figures to show that there had been several roll calls on which Deneen votes could have elected Hop kins. "It was not a prolonged fight to de feat Hopkins." he said. "He was beat en on the first day of the meeting of the joint assembly. It became a ques tion as to who could be elected to the senate. Then began the effort to agree. i talked it over with the governor and I urged him to become the party can didate, believing him to be a man on whom we could unite. I labored with him until about the loth of March, when he led me to be lieve that he would accept the place. After I had so understood, one of the governor's friends came into my hotel and said the governor cculd not be a candidate. Deneen, Xot Iiorimer. "Thus it was Deneen and not Lori mer that we were trying to elect." Mr. Lorimer said that in turn he had discussed with the governor the ad visability of electing to the senate one of several members of the national house. His own name had been men tioned and the governor had consult ed several newspaper men who he de clared, -were with Mr. Deneen, all-powerful. Among others, the then editor of the Chicago Record-Herald had been in terviewed he said. This editor had made the observation he said that Lor imer was the one Republican in Illi nois who could afford to be elevated to the senate with the aid of Demo crat votes because Lorimer had lived in a Democrat community and had been elected to congress repeatedly through the assistance of Democrats. "Does this show that months before the election I was conjuring a scheme for the election of a henchman as speaker and through the powers of the office undertaking to foist myself upon this body?" asked Lorimer. Reverting to Senator Root's remarks concerning the Democratic votes cast for him. Mr. Lorimer said: "History is teeming with testimony about men who were elected by votes of the opposite party." "Hinky Dink" Kenna. it appeared was the Democratic leader in the dis trict represented by Assemblyman John G. Griffin. Mr. Lorimer explain ed how this lifelong friendship had led Kenna to promise and deliver the vote of Griffin for Lorimer. The Senate's Duty. "If the senate," continued Mr. Lori mer, with a sweep of his arm, taking in the whole room, "can believe me to be the low, vile, oreature that the sen ator from New York and the senator from South Dakota, and other senators who have attacked me declare," he look ed straight into the eyes of Senator Beveridge just across the aisle "there is a plain duty staring you in the face, regardless of the testimony, re gardless of this record. "If I could be the foul wretch that these senators have sought to paint me, I should be driven from yonder door, branded with the stamp of infamy. Oh, no, I am not pleading for sympathy; I am trying to relate the truth of my election as it was and not as the sen ators from New York and South Da kota would have this senate believe." Mr. Lorimer. still dramatically re lating his personal experiences in Chi-. cago. traced "Manny Abrahams friendship for him to the interest he said he had shown in the welfare of the Jewish peddlers and others of that race from the time when Lorimer was a street car employee. "Senator Root referred to 'Manny' Abrahams as 'the bell wether' as if there never had been another bell wether there have been bell wethers in the senate; there is a Democratic bell wether, an insurgent bell wether, a stalwart bell wether. When I am out at the beginning of ft roll call and I osk, when I come in, how Senator Aldrich has voted and then vote as he voted he is my bell wether. If he is away I wait until my colleague. Sen ator Cullom, has voted and he be comes my bell wether. But if I find that Senators Lodge and LaFollette have voted the same way I wait until some one else has voted before I se lect a bell wether." This sally at the expense of the Wis consin senator caused a burst of laugh ter which did not soon subside. Thirty-four Democrats, Mr. Lori mer said, voted for him because they were his personal friends and not be cause they were "delivered" by Lee O'Neill Browne. Browne Not Kespoiisible. "Why, he did not deliver them; they delivered him. They would have vot ed for me for personal reasons. Sev enteen or nineteen of them would have voted for me if I had been a candidate from the beginning, even though Lee O'Neill Browne had labored with them not to do so." The senator took up the remarks based on his having been in the speak er's room at Springfield when the leg islature was electing a senator. This room he described more as a smok ing room than a chamber of privacy. After stating that his first vote had been cast for James G. Blaine for president. Mr. Lorimer said he had been getting Democratic votes ever since. Mr. Lorimer closed this part of his subject wth the declaration that no Democrat had ever voted for him except for "pure and unadulterated friendship." He asserted that he had received in his district 3.500 more votes than President Taft. "Is that an evidence of corruption?" demanded the senator. "If so, I have a trail of Democrat votes following me for a quarter of a century. If I had bought them it would have cost me millions of dollars." Another class of Democrats that voted for him. he said, were found among those who were unfriendly to Hopkins. First of these was George Alshuler of Hopkins's own town, who Mr. Lorimer said was for "anybody to beat Hopkins." Mr. Lorimer found explanation for the Democratic oppo sition to Hopkins in Hopkins's bitter partisanship which, he said, had an tagonized many of the opposition. For Personal Reasons. Many Democrats were mentioned as having voted for him because of personal friendship. Amomj these was Senator Broderick who, Mr. Lori mer said, had been his fri-nd for many years even when "newspaper assassins of character were then as since, trying to destrov him." "I never got one vote under false pretenses," said Mr. Lorimer. "No Democrat was ever deceived into the belief that I would co-operate with tne Democrats in conerress." The senator related some incidents to account for his Democrat friend ship. Most dramatic was his recital or bis first acquaintance with Alder man "Hinky Dink" Kenna, who when Lorimer was a bootblack and news boy, compelled at the age of ten to earn his living on the street,- came to his rescue and saved him from the loss of a bundle of Chicago Tribunes, It meant a loss "of $1.50 to him, the speaker said, and "that dollar and a half meant more to me. Senator Root than a million dollars would mean to some men now. I don't know whether the senator from New York (Root) or the senator from South Dakota Crawford) know what it means to come up through circumstances like that Senator Crawford rose to his feet. The interest -was intense, every person in the galleries leaned forward, many rose. Mr. President, does the senator imagine himself the only senator who came up through hardship and pov erty? Is he appealing for sympathy on that score?" "I want no sympathy," shouted Senator Lorimer. A great sigh passed over the senate chamber. Not Asking Sympathy. "This is not a question of" sympa thv; it is a question of right and wrong. I ami only wondering if some senators understand how conditions like these can give rise to lifelong friendships. "It is an easy matter to charge wrong doing and I regret to cay it is an easy matter for many to believe. In my opinion, the charge as against a senator or member is more serious than that of depriving a man of life or liberty. "Not even the Chicago Tribune has dared charge me with bribery or cor ruption. Never have I used a dollar, nor had the remotest knowledge of the use of one dollar to promote an election of mine either to the lower house or to this. "If senators even suspect that I did have knowledge of corruption in any degree, I am very sorry, because, on my word as a man, there never has been a time that I have been guilty of that act; and I never did give or know of any person giving for me any prom ise or any money or anything else for anyone to vote for me; and my regret la that anybody should think so. "I claim for myself no virtues more than those of other men; I have al ways tried to live so as to retain the confidence of the decent citizens of my community and my state. "I say I may not have succeeded, but I have tried. If I have succeeded no man will come to my door and lay the charge of bribery or corrupt prac tices in my election, be it for myself or anybody else. "I regret, therefore, that there are senators who feel they have been able to find anything at all in my business life, in my political, social or family life that will justify him in having a suspicion that I have been guilty of the charges they would lay at my door. "I say again, on my word as a man, and as a senator, that I am not guilty and that I have no knowledge in the remotest degree that bribery or cor ruption were practiced to gain a seat for me in this body, and X do not be lieve, whatever the Chicago Tribune may say, or may. have been able to do by coercion, that votes were bought -to send me to this senate." I With this peroration Mr. Lorimer closed his speech, which evidently had made a deep impression upon the crowds of spectators, whether or not upon the senators who will have to vote upon his case. Applause broke forth in the galleries when he finish ed. It met with the inevitable rebuke of Vice President Sherman in the chair. DEBT TO WASHINGTON. Americans Owe Him Citizenship, Says McNeal. "To Washington 'we owe our right to American citizenship," declared T. A. McNeal, in speaking on "Washington" before the members of the Brother hood of the First Presbyterian church Wednesday night. "It falls upon us to preserve this mighty nation that was established by this immortal man. "Washington was a horn leader of men, and was recognized as such by the leaders of his day. We have all wondered at his wonderful veracity and in this day and age we wonder at the cherry tree incident. "The real character cf this man was not shown until the crisis of the coun try came and a leader was needed to fight the battles of this great republic. If this grreat crisis had not come this country would have been without' a Washington, as it was the means by which he displayed his true worth and leadership.

Very fine Silk Taf feta Petticoats guar anteed by the factory to wear nve months Special. $4.50 EVENING CHAT BT RUTH CAMERON. AMUSEMENTS. I haven't forgotten that this column is to be occasionally dedicated to tell ing something about unique occupa tions for women. I'm simply waiting lor some of you people to tell me if unusual occupations of -which you know. In the meantime I have a suggestion along that line to make. It isn't anything that anyone I know of ever did. It's just something that I think could be done. Why couldn't some woman with an eye for clothes and fashions and some ar tistic sense start a "sartorial bureau?" I don't believe one woman in ten gets anywhere near the possible value out of the money she puts into her clothes. By "possible value" I mean the full value In attractiveness, suitability, style and wearing qualities that could be gotten out of that money by some one who really understood the art of clothes. The business of this "sartorial bu reau" would be to supply such women advice, and when desired, actual over sight in clothes buying. Perhaps an illustration will make my meaning plainer. Miss H. is a stenographer who has a very good salary and who spends about $30 a year upon her clothes. That ought to purchase her a pretty ward robe but she is a woman without that sort of sixth sense which some women have the clothes sense and she does not have time to study up styles and lines and colors and materials, and consequently she never seems to get juBt the "right" things, and is seldom as well dressed as Miss L. who has about half as much money to spend but much more time and taste. So Miss H. goes to the sartorial bu reau. She goes at the beginning of the season and announces that she has $150 to spend on her winter wardrobe. Now the sartorial bureau, according to- my idea of it in its completeness, consists of a good executive head with a staff of women, some of whom have artistic ability, some of whom are par ticularly well versed in styles, and two or three who thoroughly understand materials and the art of shopping. Miss H. is received by the executive head who plans the spending of the money in a general way. She is then handed over to th artistic woman who tells her what colors and lines she should use, and finally consults with the authority in styles who goes over fashion books with her and suggests becoming styles. For all this advice she pays a por tion of the amount to be spent, say about 4 per cent. If after this she desires the service of a shopper these are supplied at so much an hour. Perhaps her whole bill from the bu reau is seven dollars and at this ex pense she makes sure of a winter's wardrobe infinitely more stylish, more becoming, and more thoroughly "right" than she has ever had before. Of course I realize that such a staff could not be maintained until a large business had been built up, but I think the business could be started by a wo man who had taste and a good amount of that sixth sense, and who combined to a certain extent all the necessary capabilities. Of course the larger part of her cus tomers would be women who had a pood deal more money to spend than Miss H., but I cited her case more to show the value of such a bureau to women or even moderate means.

Fashionable St. Moritz, Switzerland, during the height of the exhilarating winter season; quaint wild birds of the Hebrides and northern Scotland In beautiful colors; the effect of music on wild animals; a gale at sea; a vol canic eruption in Java; logging in Italy, and a Mohammedan religious festival in Delhi, India, are only a few worthy of especial praise among many others. To those who regard exemplifying loyalty to tradition, to friendship, broad human sympathies and innate and characteristic human nature, it meets the highest requirements in Frederic Thompson's production of "Polly of the Circus," with dainty Kdith Speare In the title part. All who see it will appreciate the hovel portrayal of the cirous and the church in relationship on the stage, and clowns, acrobats and short-skirted women, and a parson, deacons, mem bers of the woman's aid society, all in termixed and exemplifying the anto nymisms that traditionally have ruled since the days when Intolerance first cursed mankind. Bigotry, prejudice and unchristian malice are pitted against the strongest and some of the most admirable traits of human nature sympathy, affection and gratitude. The play will be seen at the Grand on Friday and Saturday with a mati nee on Saturday. A stirring western melodrama that will keep everyone interested entitled 'Queen of the Highway" is the at traction at the Grand, Monday, Feb. 27th. One of the most thrilling and realistic scenes ever produced, is the first scene of the third act, when a wounded express rider is entrapped behind a ledge of rocks and Is sur rounded by a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. For over 12 years the dramatiza tion of "Ben-Hur," classic alike as a literary masterpiece and as a stage spectacle, has swept the country with its tremendous success, and now, in its twelfth season (the play was pro duced the closing year of the nine teenth century and so became a fitting prophecy of the magnitude of things dramatic in this glorious twentieth century,) Its promise is of even greater magnificence in production. If such a thing were possible, and of even more overpowering triumph. This wonderful attraction has been selected for presentation at the Grand opera house on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, March 2, 3 and 4, together with a special matinee on Saturday, March 4. The sale of seats will open on Monday, Feb. 27. OCIETY Mrs. Arthur Holbrook and her chil dren of Des Moines, la., will arrive Tuesday, to visit Mrs. Holbrook's mother, Mrs. T. E. Dewey of Potwin.

Mrs. John Frltts, who recently left Topeka to make her home in New York, presented to the State Travel ing library a collection of magazines on art, and a number of periodicals, "Masters in Art;" also a dozen port folios containing copies of a hundred pictures from the world's masterpieces.

The magazines and pictures will be included in shipments of books on art to the various small towns of the state having no local collections of the kind.

Reports Are Persistent That Laurier Government Will Go to the Country. Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 23. Persistent reports that the Laurier government will go to the country on the reci procity agreement are published by the opposition press. This In itself Is an acknowledgment of the popu larity of the policy, for the govern ment Is under no necessity to face another general election until 1913. Moreover, the census is to be taken this year, with redistribution of par liamentary representation following. In this redistribution the western provinces expect to make large gains, and it has not been generally believed that the government would precipitate a general election before 1912. Such an appeal would not interfere, of course, with the passage of the agreement by parliament at this ses sion, for which the government has At Left, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. At Right, Hon. W. S.

Monk, Conservative Leader in the Canadian Parliament. ample votes. R. L. Borden the opposition leader, has not revealed the line of action he will adopt when the debate is resumed in the house of commons on Tuesday, but that he expects to keep up an ag gressive fight is indicated by the numerous conferences with F. D. Monk and other of his lieutenants. Whatever their course, however, the friends of reciprocity have no doubt that Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Messrs. Fielding and Paterson are prepared to carry the agreement to ratification. One of the effects of the reciprocity agreement here is an Increase in the output of poetry. The twanging o the lyre is heard In various quarters, Frederick George Scott of Quebec is bo terrified that he utters this clar ion call: "Lord God of our fathers be with us; rise up at thy people"s cry, For blindness has stricken the nation, and the doom of our land draws nigh.

The Hamilton Herald is stirred to nominate Mr. Scott as poet laureate of the anti-reciprocity cause, but sug gests that his line might be less vague and not more Irreverent if altered to this form: "What tho' we sell them our pro duce now, as we always have done before? Arise In thy might, O, Lord, and keep us from selling them any more. Oh, blast with the fire of thine anger the traitors, be who they may, Who would help to open the Philis tine gates to our barley, and wheat, and hay."

After a long and tedious effort, the Dvche fish and game bill was report ed for passage subject to amendment and debate by the senate committee of the whole. It required the entire day to wade through the document and when the job was finished, the mem bers recalled that It was Georce Washington's birthday and took a vacation. There were many little things in the bill to which the members took exception and in some places sections were bodily removed, but usually with very little damage to the measure. The bill furnished very little fun for the several score of visiting Democrats who went to the senate chamber ex pecting real entertainment. But the bill was on the calendar and the sen ate waded Into Its mysteries, with a sincerity of purpose and the bill is now on the right track to the statute books. Somehow in the bill is a modest little paragraph which provides that a farmer, owner of land or occupant thereof may go gunning at leisure and need not contribute his stipend to the state fish and game fund for a license from the county clerk's office. George Hodges wanted the farmer to pay for his fun at the same ratio provided for the man from town and his theory precipitated a row. There were Just 39 varied opinions on the subject and the Hodges plan went to the junk pile. There was a further provision against the killing of turkey buzzards and kindred fowl, but Senator Ander son denounced the turkey buzzard in the same language that he has refer red to the standpat members: and the result was that turkey buzzards were placed on the free. list. No one understood the minute working of fish ladders and their scientific construction. Professor L. L. Dyche put them wise on this mat ter and the senate showed Its appre ciation by leaving that section in the bill. In another place there is something about bird feathers as fitting decora tions for Easter bonnets. The section condemns the heathen habit. So does the senate; and that progressive body left the provision Just as Professor Dyche wrote it. It was found that the present nsh and game statutes were pretty badly shot up by the new bill and the eight or ten constitutional lawyers asked leave to report the bill subject to amendment and debate in order that they might determine the necessary repairs to the present laws. The senate refused to accept tne house resolution calling for final ad journment at midnight Saturday, March 11. Instead the senate substi tuted the Stavely resolution which knocks off six hours of work each day of the final week. His bill provides that work shall cease at 6 o'clock each afternoon and exempts the customary long winded and chesty final flay ses sion. At 4:20 the senate took a recess for the remainder of the day in observ ance of Washington's birthday. Searching for Daughter. New York, Feb. 23. Instead of ap pealing to the police, Thomas F. Finley of Stamford, Conn., has taken up quarters in the Italian quarter here and is distributing broadcast placards a foot square with a photograph and description of his missing daughter, Mary. Finley, who, he says,, disap peared some time ago. She speaks Italian and he hopes to find her among those people. Cut of $14,486,503. Washington, Feb. 28. The sundry civil appropriation bill, carrying a total of $140,590,031, Including 000,000 for fortifying the Panama canal, was completed by the appropri ations committee today and Immedi ately reported to the house. This Is a cut of $14,486,503 from the estimates. rs Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First had his- Cromwell. and the newspaper writer has his Mechanical Department. Yesterday, the writer of this column had the misfortune to be required to "fill" in at the senate long table, for a regular reporter. In so doing he at tempted to write a few paragraphs anent the anti-advertising measure introduced by Senator "Todd" (proof reader will PLELA.SK follow copy this time) Reed. As printed, it appeared that Senator "Toad" Reed was respon sible for the measure. The writer has known Senator Reed for a long time, and tried to get familiar by using his pet middle name, but If said writer survives the next interview with the Senator from Smith, he will hereafter, through either fear or respect for the mechanical department, write It "Sen ator J. T, REED." Far be it from us to let this session reach the hour of final adjournment without embalming in print the name and outlines of Hon. Brown of Kingman.- No member of the house has dared overlook this active member at any stage of the game, and It would be a serious break on the part of this de partment to disregard his Importance. Here is a man who can wave either the grand old flag pr the bloody shirt as the occasion warrants. He is a Democrat and ex-Populist, and at the same time an old soldier. He was a major in the Twenty-first Kansas and was perfectly willing to shoot Span iards but didn't get a chance but it is written that he consumed large quanti ties of hardtack. Every once in a while Mr. Brown puts on the tremelo sto; and announces: I am an old man." The house always" laughs at Brown of Kingman, Now a Good Democrat. him when he makes this assertion. Tha members recognize him for his ability and honesty, but they whoop in de rision when he talks about being old He has no snowy locks to commaiiT veneration; his voice does not contain the quality of feeble squeak which goes with old age. There is absolutely nothing of senility or decline in hi3 makeup, and his talk of age sounds like an attempt at humor. Hon. Brown of Kingman was a Pop-4 ulist in the days of Populism. In fact, he was one of the originators of that cult. He was a delegate to that Al liance convention at Salina which came so near hanging his fatness,. Hennery Allen. Hennery was a Saline reporter at that time, and with another under paid pen pusher concealed himself in the opera house where the farmers were holding secret session. A search of the theater unearthed Hennery, and a motion to hang him carried unani mously. A reconsideration of the vota was all that Wichita has to thank for that ten story building. But Mr. Brown shed his whiskers and Populism at the same time, and Is now a red-hot Democrat. His favorite pastime is inventing state savers. Hi" latest construction upon the phrase, saver of this fair state, is a real estate dealer. In days past, when Mort Albaugh, a standpatter of the copper-riveted va riety, lived in Kingman, Hon. Brown was a constant irritant to his fair skin. Mort had a newspaper, and Hon. Brown established another in the same town so that he might pay his re spects, editorially, to Mort. This feud never reached the gun-fighting stage, but brushed the border. Brown is a fighter, and would rather fight than nibernate at any time. Even the rock- ribbed Republicans and the soft-shelled r Stubbs brand of Republicans, ad mit that Brown of Kingman is a dan gerous adversary and a good man to let alone. It is much safer to laugh at his talk of old age than it is to en gage him in debate. When you lose a button from your favorite suit or coat, call on the En terprise.

Evangelist Preaches Sermon on Life of Moses. Twenty-seven persons answered the invitation at the Scoville meeting in the auditorium last night. The num ber of converts in the nine days of service now number 236. Dr. Scoville took his text from the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, on the word "Faith" and preached from the subject, "The 'Eternal' Choice of a World Famous Man." V He led up to the. story of, the life of Moses, to where Moses had to choose between the crown of Egypt or the crown of life. He said: "Sin of any kind only lasts for a season, that a sinful per son may have their slaves, their ser vants, their fine- animals and car riages and have the wealth of the land today, but tomorrow things will be changed. Often vice wears the purple, while virtue the rags, but there will come a change for 'The Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the sinful shall perish.' "I dare anyone, to follow a wicked man for 20 years, and then come back and say all is well. It can't be done. "A great man's work will be looked at, be investigated and will be said by the great men of the nation, 'How speaketh this man?' "I can see three great processions going up Mt Moriah, near Jerusalem. First Abraham trods up the hills with his son Isaac, to give him as a sac rifice to God, when God shows him a ram, which he burns instead. Hun dreds of years lapse between and again David and- Solomon trod the same path, np the same hill, and again, hundreds of years pass and the Lord Jesus Christ goes up the same path, on the same hill, dragging with him the rugged cross. He trod that stony path alone where the third great sacrifice was given." "It was all done in the fearlessness of God. The mother of George Washington saw the fearlessness of danger that her son possessed, and when the battle was won, and George Washington came out the victor that he did. his good old mother then reaped the fruit of her prayers. I say, without that mother, and that pray er, George Washington might have been anything else but what he was, and this nation be anything but what it is today. "So when King Bharaoh send out the news that all male children should be put to death there were ninety days that a baby boy was concealed by his mother, when finally the mother feared he would be found she began scheming and devised the plan of putting in the basket on the water among the rushes, right near the place where the king's daughter came to bathe. This she did and when the child was found the sister of the child, who had kept watch, asked if she didn't want a nurse for the child that she in tended to keep. When the answer came that she did, the girl called her mother. "During the years that the mother had the keeping of her son, she would walk with him and teach) him of her God and her way of believing, showed him the difference of right and wrong, told him of the time that would soon come when he would have to make that great decision between the river Nile and the river of Life, between the crown of Egypt and the crown or ute, and so Rachel left ner son, but with him she left the impression that guided that great man the rest of his lire. "The hand that rocks the cradle will rule the world if care is taken to rule while it is vet in the cradle. "The biggest fool in the world today is the mother who says her boy is not yet old enough to accept Christ. "When the' day of graduation of this Hebrew lad Moses came, a great banquet was prepared by the king, with his daugh ter, the great number of assembled hosts, 1 the dignitaries of the land looking down upon him, the time of choosing came. The lad fought the battle alone whether love and duty -of the king, his throne and the kingdom, or whether his mother's God, and Moses said 'No' to all the king's pleading. "If the decision had not been made that way the Red sea would have never open ed as it did. the manna from heaven would have never come to him. He never lost sight of his mother's God." He then told a storv of a Scotch woman who with her son started to Edinborough college; night was coming on and the mother had to leave the boy and go back, but before she left him she told him that perhaps she would never live to see him graduate, but that she wanted him to live for Jesus. She held on to her God and her boy and prayed that the boy might never lose sight of Jesus. The boy after an old man said: "My mother that night Going to Happen Friday at Crockett's 619 KANSAS AVENUE SHIRT WAIST SALE on held on' to God and to mo and I have never lost sight of that God." "Then I say, doesn't it pay?" The feature song of the evening was sung by Mrs. Scoville and that was, "Will the circle be unbroken." There will be a meeting held every night this week, including Saturday. HOLMAN IS AROUSED. Resents False Stories Being Circu lated to Injure Him. Commissioner M. C. Holman claims that someone is circulating "out rageous," rumors about him. "Some one," said he, "has been making a statement saying that I am against tha old soldiers. Such a statement which has no truth, is simply outrag eous and the person who stoops to make such a statement should be pun ished. "Reports have come in from neonle who claimed that I said the coloid sanitary officer," Mr. Pasker, -will be fired if I win in the campaign and the rest of the force retained. This is an outrageous lie, and the man who said it ought to be punished. He is one of the best men on the force. "I understand, also, that exception has been taken in regard to what I said about the system employed at Tie high school for the protection of per sonal property. My boy lust lost a J4d bicycle and I was a little worked up about it I was mad. I had no criticism to make in regard to requiring the students make a deposit at the time they are given a locker key. That is perfectly all right, but the students should have their property protected at the school. "Seems to me the board ought to provide some adequate system of car ing for personal effects even If it would cost $3,000 to do it. That could be Included In the estimate of ex penses.- "In my family a bicycle, two hats and two watches have been lost and I think I have some reason to com plain. The socalled Anti-thief organ ization may be all right for those who can afford to pay the fee, but take the poor people: they should have just as much right to have their property as those who more comfort able off. It isn't right to ask them to pay 50 cents a year for the protec tion of their personal effects.". Machinists May Join Strike. Kansas City, Feb. 23.

Edouard Detliier and Miss Beebe at Washburn Tonight. The Sonata recital which will be given by Miss Carolyn Beebe, pianiste, and M. Edouard Dethier, violinist, at Washburn chapel this evening at 8:15, is one of the popular numbers that Dean Whitehouse has secured for this season. St v, i1 M. Edouard Dethier and Miss Carolyn Beebe. While posessing an international reputation in the musical world as a violinist, M. Edouard Dethier is also a successful sportsman and angler. Each summer he spends several months in a prominent Maine resort where he can find enjoyment in hunting over the large timbered tracts of that country or in fishing on the banks of the many streams. Almost every day M. Dethier carefully locks his Strad avarius in its case, carefully prepares his rod and reel and wanders off to the bank of some favorite stream to while away the pleasant hours. His success as an angler is excellent and he never returns from a fishing trip without a god sized catch. As a violinist M. Dethier has be come famous both in Europe and America. His foreign notices give evi dence that he was a great favorite with all his audiences. "Monsieur Dethier's playing," said La Chronique of Brusels. "is remark able for its irreproachable accuracy, firmness of fingering and bowing, and beautiful tone, and it won him many bravos from the audience." Miss Carolyn Beebe, who appears with M. Dethier, is an artist of mark ed ability. She always possessed a great fondness for the piano and early came under the influence of the late Joseph Mosenthal who took a great personal interest in her work. She studied in America until she went to Europe to finish her training under the best masters. Under the tuition of Moszkowski and Harold Bauer, Miss Beebe developed, a mastery of the piano that won widspread ad miration upon her debut.

Tuberculosis rlalmed 56, cancer 55, and pneumonia Tuberculosis, cancer and pneumonia are always leading in the city records with a gain every year. Last year, however, tuberculosis claimed the same number as in 1909 while cancer and pneumonia caused many more deaths. The cancer fatalities almost doubled likewise pneumonia. Other diseases occupying the upper fatal list are apoplexy (40). insanity (25). Bright's disease (38), infant dis eases (26), old age (53) and causes from wounds (30). There is a notable decrease in the general diseases which a few years ago were considered fatal.

T. Lockwood. Ebenezer T. Lockwood was born at Rome, New York, in 1831. Early in life he came with his parents to Michigan, where he resided till 1883. At that date he removed to South Dakota with his wife and an adopted daughter, Mrs. H. E. Anderson, now of Calgary, Canada. Two sons by a former marriage are living in Indiana. Mr. Lockwood was an earnest Chris tian, a devoted husband and -father. and a friend to all, seeing some good in all. He had been an Odd Fellow for 44 years and had toiled in the service of the A. T. S. F. railway company for 19 years, when two years ago, he was retired on a pension be cause of age and poor health. Death had no terrors for him ex cept as it involved separation from the wire to whose constant care and lov ing tenderness during thirty years of life together and particularly in the last months of almost helpless Invalid ism, he owed so much. He passed away Jan. 14. The cask et, surrounded by many and beautiful floral offerings, was viewed by many friends between 2 and 5 o'clock on Sunday, preceding the funeral ser vice at the house on the following af ternoon. Rev. Francis L. Hayes, of the First Congregational church, of ficiated, assisted by Rev. Mr. Barrett, who represented the Odd Fellows. Mrs. Lockwood accompanied the body to Mt, Vernon, Mich., where in terment took place. A sad, yet ten der, remembrance to Mrs. Lockwood will be the fact that on the 30th an niversary of their wedding-day, she placed at the grave as her tribute to his worth and the memory of those years, a handsome granite stone. En graved, after the proper inscription, was the single word, "Mispah," ex pressive of the faith that the same God in whose keeping was the de parted spirit, would shield and com fort the lonely one left, until after a while, she, too, will go to meet the loved one.

Fresh Eggs Are Retailing at 20 Cents In New York City. New York, Feb. 23 The price of eggs in New York today is the lowest February quotation recorded in 41 years. Owing to unprecedented re ceipts from the west market, men are quoting fresh eggs as low as 20 cents a dozen and the prospect, according to authorities in the trade, is for a fall of prices to 15 cents a dozen be fore March 1. One of the largest re tail dealers with an eye to advertising his other wares, is selling a dozen eggs for eight cents to customers buy ing at least 50 cents worth of other goods. The low prices, it is said, are due chiefly to the mild weather and to a great increase in the number of hen neries in western states. AS AMERICANS SEE IT.

Chicago, Feb. 23. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's facility in handling Intruders and his presence of mind in emergencies were put to the test twice Wednesday at the big meeting in the First Regiment armory, and in each Instance he averted, with a dexterity that brought appiause from his audience, what at first looked like embarrassing situations. In his address at this meeting, which was designed primarily as a word of counsel for the foreign born citizens or. Chicago, the former president took oc casion incidentally to announce himseif as an advocate of woman suffrage. This, perhaps, was in compliment to Miss Jane Addams, who sat beside him on the rostrum, but the language the colonel used was unequivocal. Personally," he declared, I am in favor of giving the franchise to all citi zens, irrespective ut bca. The adventure with the stranger came Just as he closed his a,ddress on "Good Citizenship." Colonel Roosevelt had taken his seat and A. A. McCormick who pre sided had just arisen to make an an nouncement when an ancient individual with a flowing beard arose from one of the front seats and walked up on the platform where the speakers were seated, "How are you, colonel?" he demanded, extending his hand and reaching for Colonel Roosevelt's. "I'm an old soldier from Wisconsin. Just stop the program a minute, will you, I want to say a word or two to this audience." Colonel Roosevelt looked the man over for a second and then deciding that he was harmless, smiled. "No, no," he said, "not now. Just sit down here a moment." and lie made room for the intruder beside him. The man took the seat offered him, Mr. McCormick made his announcement and the audience sang a verse of a patriotic song. Then, while the audience was sit ting down, the colonel got the stranger quietly off the platform. The other incident occurred whale he was in the middle of his address. He had just begun the sentence, "We must stand up boldly," when the chair on which one of the reporters was seated suddenly col lapsed under him. The audience burst into a roar of laughter in which! Colonel Roosevelt Joined. After the reporter had readjusted himself the colonel observed amid renewed laughter: "I said 'stand up boldly,' not 'sit down,' and went on with his talk. PRATT GIRLS MISSING. Thought That Possibly They Are Vic tims of "White Slavers." Pratt, Kan., Feb. 2S. J. T. Wilkerson and Seth Adams, the recent pro prietors of the Wardrobe, a clothes cleaning establishment in this city, quietly sold out Saturday and "skid dooed," leaving board bills and other bills too numerous to mention and two girls, daughters of wealthy retired farmers, are also missing. The sudden disappearance of the four young peo ple and their former associations to gether Is what confirms the belief that they are now together. Wilkerson Is a married man and his wife left recently with three young girls into whose graces she had worked herself and it is thought by some that, as the "Wardrobe" has not been In operation long, it was a blind for a gang of "White Slavers," as Wilker son's wife has not returned sii5e her mysterious disappearance some six weeks ago. Reports received here later say the two men and the two girls were seen in Hutchinson on Saturday night, a traveling man giving a correct descrip tion of them. It is also believed here that the three girls, who disappeared some time ago, are in the same bunch and that the "White Slave" traffic is being carried on by the former Pratt people. A Society "Bobsled" Carnival. Huntington, N. Y., Feb. 23. "So ciety" as the term Is understood in New York city, is gathered here thi3 week for the annual bob-sled carnival. W. K. Vanderbilt, jr., is one of the judges and the prizes are the gift of Mrs. Martin W. Littleton, wife of the congressman-elect who recently an nounced his candidacy for the United A Reasonable Plea For The Stomach If Your Stomach is Lacking in Diges tive Power, Why Not Help the Stomach Do Its Work Especial ly When It Costs Nothing to Try? Not with drugs, but with a rein forcement of digestive agents, such as are natuarlly at work in the stomach? Scientific analysis shows that digestion requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When your food fails to digest, it is proof positive that some of these agents are lacking in your digestive apparatus. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements necessary to digest and when placed at work in the weak stomach and small intestines, supply what these or gans need.

There is no secret in the preparation of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Their composition is commonly known among physicians, as is shown by the recommendations of 40,000 licensed physicians in the United States and Canada. They are the most popular of all remedies for indigestion, dys pepsia, water brash, insomnia, loss of appetite, melancholia, constipation, dysentery and kindred diseases origi nating from Improper dissolution and assimiliation of foods, because they are thoroughly reliable and harmless to man or child.

House Refuses to Act on Senate Utili ties BID. All precedents were broken in the house Wednesday afternoon when that body decided neither to concur nor to nonconcur in the matter of the senate amendments to the house utilities bill. The measure was sent back to the judiciary committee with instruction to report it back to the house Friday. The senate struck out all after the enacting clause in the house bill and substituted the senate measure. When this dismembered measure was return- ed to the house Wednesday afternoon the members, and especially those forming the judiciary committee that had drafted the house bill, were peevish. Allen of Wyandotte moved that the house nonconcur in the senate amend ment to the utilities bill and the house voted almost solidly in support of tho motion. Brown of Kingman then moved that the bill be referred back to the judiciary committee. At 'this junc ture the house got into a wrangle over rules and all the motions before the body were withdrawn. Then Brown of Kingman moved again that the bill be sent back to the judiciary committee and the motion carried, and another motion went through providing that 500 copies of the amended bill be printed and distributed among the members. The strange thing about the utilities bill is, that the administration criti cises the bill passed by the friendly house and commends the measure passed by the unfriendly senate. Some fifty-two bills relating to cities of the first and second class are on the house calendar for today under the head of special orders. ENGAGE ALL BOXES.

If You Do It JUsnt, it Does It Better Than Most Depilatories. Tou might Just as well shave as use a pasty substance which is to be ap plied to remove superfluous hair. This simply removes the surface hair; there fore the effect is the same as shaving, only the razor is more convenient and takes it off cleaner. Of course, it does not matter which way you do it; you only remove the surface hair, which will return stronger after each removal. The same applies to other worthless compounds and so-called "liquid cures." De Miracle is not like these; it ia the only method that gives proof that it is absolutely non-poisonous, safe and sure. You are not asked to buy it on our BARE WORD. It is the only preparation of its kind which is en dorsed by physicians, surgeons, der matologists, medical journals, promi nent magazines and newspapers. Re member, the longer you use such treat ments as those referred to above the stronger the hair will grow and the harder It will be to remove it. 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 makes more profit. We will send you a 52-page booklet containing full information concerning this remarkable treatment. Tou should read this booklet before you try any thing. Write to the De Miracle Chem ical Co.. Dept. PI 6, 1906 Park Ave., New York, simply saying 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 concerning this won derful method, which is endorsed the World over by eminent authorities, who have made a lifelong study of this subject. ITS BOOKS ARE SEIZED. Russian Police Make a Descent on the Westinghouse Company. St Petersburg. Feb. 23. The police today made a sudlei descent on the offices of the Westinghouse Electric company and seized all the books and documents relating to tne &t. i-eters- burg electric street railway. The af fair has caused a sensation ln foreign commercial circles. The Westinghouse company obtained a contract for electrifying the street cars in St- Petersburg in December, 1905. Later the government imposed a fine of $500,000 on the company for al leged failure to complete its contract. This was in October, 1907, and in the following month the government re mitted $425,000 of the penalty. Since then the company experienced some inconvenience resulting from the an nouncement early in 1908 that the British Westinghouse company would finance the St. Petersburg concern.
