V -flebel President of Mexico Ap points a Cabinet. GoYernment ow Ready to Per form Its Functions. STILL FULL OF FIGHT. Will Try to Prevent a Further Clash at Juarez. City Is Made Provisional Capital of the Republic. Juarez, May 11. After a long con ference between the rebel chiefs the appointment or the following menilers of the provisional cabinet was an nounced: Minister of foreign relations Mr. VaMquez Gomez. Minister of fiiiaiice Gustavo A. Madero. Minister ranzu. Minister of war Venustiano Car ol interior V. Gonzales Garza. Minister of justice Jose M. Pino Suarez. Private secretary to President Ma dero Juan Sanchez Azeona. Juarez, Mexico, May 11. The insur rectos are determined rot only to hold Juarez against any attack, but to pre vent a fight in this vicinity if possible. Plans were being laid at the insurrecto headquarters today for a force of sev eral hundred men to march south to meet General Rahago, the federal leader, who is reported to be on his way here from Chihuahua with a good sized army. Tho rebels already have ,bout !00 men at Casas Grandes and "probably will open fire on Rabago when he arrives there. It is not known what chief will be sent south from Juarez. The town was quiet early today for the first time in several flays. The in habitants slept peacefully in their homeH, while insurrecto sentries stood guard. General Navarro, who was paroled with his officers last night, spent the night in the same house with Gen. Francisco I. Madero, jr. Although the federal commander now has been given the liberty of the city, he does not deem it safe to be seen much about town because theie are said to be several insurrectos who cherished a grudge against him for alleged bay onetting of the wounded in other bat tles of the revolution. Rebel officers have given strict or ders not to harm any of the paroled federals and from the discipline which has been maintained among the lnsur- rectos heretofore, it is not considered that any mishap will befall them. The Insurrectos today are the con querors in a town which is the most important capture of the revolution, not only because of the fact that it is a port of entry to the United States and the insurrecto? believe that in the ru;jrt twenty-f jiir hcurs food and sup plies will be or isslng the line to them unmolested, out oe hits they are now Jn possession "of about 4 50,000 rounds of ammunition, several machine guns end field pieces, about 700 Mauser rifles and enough ammunition belts and other warlike sundries to wage furious warfare for sometime to come. Eager to Push Advantage. Although the revolutionists are flushed with victory and some of them eager to pursue the fight with in creasing vigor throughout Mexico un til the capital of the republic where the recalcitrant government is seated shall have fallen, conservative rebel leaders are hoping that the bloody battle of Juarez will be the last chap ter of the military side of the revolu tion. Having demonstrated their strength in the field, they now wish to turn their attention to the argument of words and public opinion. They are ready to listen to propositions from the government and today Senors Branlff and Obregon. go-betweens heretofore, are feeling the opinion of N Insurrecto chiefs as to the best way for reopening leaee negotiations. J. Comfortably lodged in their new provisional capital, the taking of which the rebels declare will make prospects of recognition by foreign powers much brighter, the rebel po litical leaders today were conferring with General Madero and revising the demands made before the battle. They are strengthening them somewhat and will continue to insist on a real par ticipation in governmental affairs and such privileges as the naming of men from their party for governors in four teen states and four portfolios in the cabinet. Lamborel Buried With Honors. Insurrectos this morning did honor to the memory of Col. Lamborel. the federal leader who was killed during the fight, by escorting his body to the cemetery on me Dare hillside and Rounding taps over the grave. With a troop or insurrecto cavalry as an es cort and followed by a firing squad on foot the body of the dead chief, laid on a stretcher in a dilapidated one horse express wagon and covered with nothing but a white sheet, was car ried past insurrecto headquarters, thence down the narrow streets of the little city to the cemetery. At the head of the procession was a mem. j ber of Col. Lamborel's staff who was given back his rifle for his last ride with his aeaa chier. He Started the Fight. Col. Lamborel, whose taunts the in eurrectos declare started the fight that resulted in the capture, was wounded twice ana captured and rescued airaln before he met death. Fighting in the trenches the first day he received a scalp wound ana one in the leg. Can- tured by the insurrecto in one of the mad rushes he was recaptured a few minutes later by a desperate sortie. Then in yesterday's fighting a rebel bullet Btmck him in the temple, kilt- ing him. It is difficult to estimate even ap proximately the number of dead and wounded during the two days' fighL lng. An Associated Press correspond ent this noon saw 97 federal wounded at the temporary quarters of the Red Cross. 15 federal and insurrecto wound ed in a shot-riddled store that had been converted into a tempoary hos pitaal, while 23 others had been con veyed to the American side of the river. From attempts made by federal prison ers and by insurrectos it is safe to say that at least sixty were killed. That not all the dead have been recovered is apparent from the fact that today Red Cross surgeons and insurrectos found seven bodies, four of them in a back room of a public house, where they had been thrown. The other three were found either in hovels, where they had taken refuge, or in back yards. A thorough house to house search Is being made today and by nightfall the list of dead should be complete. Four hundred and fifty or Ave hundred federals pris oners, disarmed but all by no means disconsolate, are being guarded in the barracks and cuarel. Indeed, more than one of the pris oners, including one poor fellow who had lost his left forearm at Casas Grandes, and who received a bullet in his right arm yesterday, savagely ex pressed their joy over the victory of the Madero forces. "I did not want to fight with the federals," said the lean visaged little fellow with the empty sleeve, "but they forced me into the ranks. My sympathies were with the insurrectos." Xo One Allowed to Cross. General Pascual Orozco, commander of the rebel forces had blood in his eyes today as he stood at the .interna tional bridge and refused to permit any one from El Paso to cross into Juarez, even though they had passes from CoL Steever, through the American lines. It appears that General Orozco and his staff last night were invited to a ban quet by Mayor Kelly of El Paso and the American troops would not permit Orozco and his officers to cross. The situation with regard to trans portation of persons .and supplies back and forth is rapidly becoming aggra vated and there was considerable ap prehension today that trouble might be precipitated. Colonel steever has only general instructions from Wash ington, the authorities there having withheld specific orders as to how to deal with the defacto government in Juarez. General Madero and his wife and General Navarro, the deposed federal commander, rode about the town early today in an automobile. Mrs. Madero fears that disease may be brought on unless the dead be buried quickly and orders have been given today for a care ful search of all houses and yards for bodies that may have been overlooked yesterday. Trying to Restore Order. General Madero told an Associated Press reporter today that many Amer ican criminals, pickpockets and sus picious characters had gotten into Juarez, giving the impression that they are insurrectos. He has therefore or dered, he said, that American secret service men be allowed to cross into Juarez and arrest any criminals whom they know. Every effort, he said, Is being made to restore order. Stores are guarded closely. In front of each is an insurrecto, his rifle by his side, but his black eyes peering from under his broad brimmed som brero at all who are loitering about in the streets. Saloons are closed and much f the liquor has been destroyed. The federal officers today are loud in their praise of the treatment they are receiving at the hands of the insur rectos. They are well fed and well cared for generally. Aftermath of the fight of the last three days was heard on all sides today. Many people think Gen. Navarro never should nave sur rendered,' but one look at the emacia ted, exhausted soldiers their throats parched from hunger and thirst was convincing proof to the federal com mander that he was saving his men from a terrible fate. The insurrectos cut off the water supply early in the fight and took away all provisions as they made their way to the federal stronghold. The federals had made no preparations for a siege within their own town. Next Battle at Nogales. Naco, Mex., May 11. The federal army that evacuated Agua Prleta yes terday arrived here last night. It is thought Del Rio will be their next Im mediate objective point. Del Rio is lit tle more than one hour's march from the rich mining camp of Cananea. At Del Rio the railroad from Cananea forks one branch extending to Nogales and the other to Naco. The train which left Nogales, last night had at tached to it eleven extra cars for the use of the troops here. It is nossible that the federal force may proceed at once to Nogales to keep open that Important port. If this is the nurpose of the federal comman der, the next serious battle of the war probably will take place at Nogaies. which is separated from the American town only by a street 100 feet wide. There is also a probability that the federals are hastening to assist at the protection of Hermosillo reported In grave danger of capture by the rebels. It is unlikely, however, that the fed erals will be permitted to reach Her mosillo without engaging the numerous bands of rebels scattered between Hermosillo and the border. Rising of the Yaqnls. Douglas, Ariz.. May 11 The rising of the Yaqui Indians who have been living peacefully on their reservation for some time but who are making war on their own account, has furnish ed a new and disturbing element in the already acute situation in the state of Sonora. Amerlcans who arrived yesterday from Guaymas brought meager details of the Yaqui rising. The Indians' first demonstration was against Ortiz. which they captured without resistance, looting the seven stores in the town run by Chinese and Mexicans, confiscating the mer chandise and pouring the liquors into the streets. Two More Months of War. New York, May 11. The war in Mex ico will last about two months longer, according to "Vasquez Gomez, Madero's chief adviser at Juarez. Gomez makes this statement in a telegram sent to New York as a response to letters of congratulation following the rebel vic tory yesterday. His telegram says tn part: "General Diaz has not been frank in his -manifesto in regard to his inten tions of retiring from power. He af firms that he will leave when his con science demands it. As the revolu tionary party does not know when that is going to happen, it has been resolved to continue the revolution until the just demands of the people are satisfied. "We will have peace in Mexico imme diately after Diaz resigns. "If the revolution continues, it is be cause Diaz and his government want it, look'fig to their personal pride rather than the welfare of their country. "General Diaz prefers the war and it will prolong itself for about two months. "The taking of Juarez reveals the strength of the revolution and will put an end to all danger of damage to American territory getting away from all further complications. "The army and Madero beg to thank the Americans of your city for con gratulations upon our victory." Rebels Occupy Agua Prleta. Agua Prleta, May 11. Eighty insur rectos, commanded by Colonel Santi ago Camveros, the advance guard of Anacleto Giron's force, arrived in Agua Prieta from the southeast early today, took possession of the town and set up a temporary military govern ment with Camveros as military jefe. Armed guards were stationed in the streets and all the municipal buildings. The international line was closed by the rebels, who permit only persons with passes to cross. The same regu lation is in force on the American side of the boundary. Colonel O'Neal crossed to Douglas today and conferred with the rebel junta. Before night a lull set of pro visional ofHcers will be appointed to take charge of the custom house, post office and other departments of gov ernment. Every effort will be direct ed toward restoring normal condition under rebel control. Taft's Policy Is Commended. Washington, May 11. President Taft's policy of nonintervention in Mexico Is already bearing fruit. Di rector General John Barret of the Pan-American union, who is closely in touch with Latin American affairs, told the president today he had re ceived hundreds of letters from Ameri cans, foreigners and Mexicans in Mex ico commending the Taft policy of hands off. IS AWAITTXG ORDERS. Colonel Steever Wants Instructions on the Juarez Situation. Washington, May 11. The depart ments of state, war, treasury and jus tice were considering today what re straint if any shall be placed on com merce between this country and Juarez, the newly established capital of the provisional government of Mexico. Col. Steever, commanding the American troops at El Paso, and the customs officials there are awaiting instructions on the point. The course that is being pursued pending a determination of the question is described by Col. Stee ver in the following telegram to the war department: "I am refusing to allow arms, am munition, war material and provisions for insurrectos to be carried across the international bridges until I receive in structions to the contrary. I make ex ceptions of articles intended for the wounded." In reporting the unconditional sur render of General Navarro with 450 men, CoL Steever says all his cannon, machine guns, small arms, much am munition and many horses went Into the hand of the insurrectos. The estimate of the killed and wound ed at the battle of Juarez is 300, ac cording to a dispatch of Col. Steever made public at the White House today. Col Steever says, however, that the exact number may never be known. He added that everything is quiet and peaceful today in El Paso and Juarez. United States Consul Edwards at Juarez reported to the state depart ment today that he had been consid erately treated by both federals and insurrectos during the siege of the bor der town. Thanking President Taft for his "firm stand against Intervention" in Mexico, a telegram signed by Methodr ist -Missionary Butler, Presbyterian Missionary Vanderbilt and Baptist Missionary Brewer, in Mexico City, was received in the White House today. "Forigners and natives whom we meet through the country are equally grateful." concluded the message. Food and medical supplies and other materials needed by the people of Juarez will be permitted to cross the international bridges at El Paso. In struction to that effect by the secre tary of war will probably go forward to Col. Steever during the day. GLOOMY AT MEXICAN CAPITAL. Officials of the Government Have Not a Word to Say. Mexico City, May 11, Members of the diplomatic corps resident in Mexico City today met In the United States embassy upon invitation of Henry Wil son, the United States ambassador, to plan concerted action for the protec tion of aliens in the event that the situation in the capital reaches a stage necessitating the taking measures to defend themselves. Mr. Wilson explained that his action in calling together the foreign diplo mats to discuss the situation was mere ly precautionary. Later the American ambassador called on Francisco de La Barra, the Mexican minister of foreign affairs to lay before him a contempla ted movement on the part of the rep resentatives of foreign governments stationed here. The details of the plan have not been made public. An at mosphere of deep gloom prevades the federal office today In strong contrast with the spirit of hopefulness maintain ed throughout the last ten days. Mr. De La Barra, who fathered the peace negotiations for the government and who apparently has been most sanguine that they would result favor ably, appeared dejected today and seemed to have lost hope of immediate peace. Even in the face of the latest developments he thought, however, that there was a bare possibility of a renewal of the negotiations so uncere moniously broken off. At the national palace the officials looked gloomy and conversed in sub dued tones. None had a word to say publicly regarding the situation. In the streets the news, which appeared strikingly displayed in both English and Spanish, was read and discussed undemonstratively. Sympathizers with the rebellion, of whom there are great numbers in the capital, while undoubt edly elated greatly over the rebel vie to ryTiaJntaineaeaJrn (Continued on Page Three.) ARE LEAVING MEXICO. Topeka People Telegraph That They're Coming Home. Joe Wilson today received a tele gram from his brother-in-law, Claude N. Butlin, in the City of Mexico, say ing that he would leave with his fami ly for Topeka at once. This is re garded as significant for Mr. Butlin has heretofore spoken lightly of the revolution, and as he is in business with a Mexican, it is not likely that he would leave unless the conditions are serious. It may indicate a general exodus of Americans. Mr. and Mrs. Butlin and their three children are expected to arrive within a week. They will be with Mrs. Butlin's mother, Mrs. J. C. Wilson. Horse Thief Arrested. Sheriff J. D. Norton this afternoon re ceived a message from Carbondale that a man named Murphy had been arrested there with the team stolen from the Rock Island yards Tuesday night. THEY WILL HELP. Railroad Men Meet With State Board Today. Are Considering the Question of Physical Taluation. WITT ON THE CAKPET. State's Expert Is Asked Questions. Many Engineers and Attorneys At tend the Meeting. Representatives from ten railroads met with the state railroad board and Carl C. Witt, its new expert engineer, today, to go over the proposition of taking the physical valuation of the roads under the law of 1907; The rail road men present' at the meeting were engineers and attorneys.. The meeting was friendly. The railroad men agreed to co-operate with the board in secur ing the valuation of the railroad prop erty. The work of securing the valuation will begin as soon as the necessary blanks are turned out of the state printing office. These blanks are pat terned after the form used in Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Da kota in the railroad valuation of these state. Mr. Witt, the new engineer for the state board, is from North Dakota, and went through the mill up there in this same work. The railroad representatives will meet with the board again m about two weeks and agree on the plan under which the work will proceed. The val uation will be dated from June 30, 1911, which is to say the valuation of the roads on that date will be taken for the basis of the first valuation in Kan sas. The engineers present at the meeting asked many questions of Mr. Witt re garding the plan of taking the valua tion and the methods to be applied. They wanted to know just what Mi'. Witt wanted. The terms, "passenger mile,'" and "locomotive mile," and other technicalities were used more frequent ly during the conference than plata English. The following railroad men were present at the conference: H. Bortin, assistant engineer, TPnion Pacific, Omaha, Neb. N. H. Loomis, general solicitor. Union Pacific, Omaha, Neb. Robert C.

As a result of the war between Commis sioner Tandy and other commissioners opponents of that official have been insti gating a recall movement. T. D. Humphreys, a Topeka lawyer, ad mitted today that he had been approach ed by a number of Topeka business men and citizens to draw up recall papers for Commissioner Tandy. "I have done all in my power to dis courage them in this movement," said Humphreys this afternoon. "They persist tn declaring that Tandy Is not the man for the place. The chief complaint is the dirty conditon of Kansas avenue and other streets of the city. "I talked with the mayor and he laugh ed at the matter, saying It was foolish to start out on such a venture and express ing the hope that it was never made pub lic." Humphreys refused to give out any of the names of the alleged petitioners. He said that the petition would be drawn up Monday if he wasn't able to talk the anti Tandy men out of it. When informed of the rumor this after noon Mr. Tandy declared he had heard nothing of the recall petition. "I realize that I have plenty of enemies and I know they fought as hard as they could against me- in the last election, but I didn't know they were starting a thing of this kind," he said. "But I don't ask Mr. Humphreys or anyone else to bother about discouraging a petition of this kind." Mayor Billard said he had heard rumors of this sort but he had taken all of them as a joke. There has also been talk of a recall of Commissioner Stotts. TRAIN IS DERAILED. Pieces of a Wrecked Wagon Lodge in a Switch. Sioux City, May 11.

Pieces of the wrecked wagon lodged !n a switch and derailed the train. The passengers escaped with a shaking up. SEEKS TO BE FREE Frank Maxey, Former Topeka Catcher, Sues Wife. Says Helpmeet Left Him to Sing in Chorus. TOOK THEIR CHILD. Doesn't Know What Has Become of Them. Why the Plucky Player Lost His Batting Eye. Because his wife prefers the stage to the little home in Canada, Frank Maxey, a former Topeka baseball celebrity, wants a divorce. His com plaint reached the courts Wednesday evening and the troubles in the Maxey home will be carefully reviewed next September. It was in 1906 that Maxey married one of the prettiest girls in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. She was accomplish ed, too. Maude that was her first name could sing. She could also tickle the family piano until it pro duced all sorts of high grade melody. Then dancing was another of Maude's accomplishments. One day in the early fall of 1906, a pretty blue-eyed little heir arrived at the Maxey home. To be sure, Maxey was overjoyed. Did he not ride the innocent little heir on his knee and coo lullabies that were all out of harmony with the piano accompaniment? He did. Maxey was happy. In the sum mer months he played ball in a Cana dian league. He swatted the horse hide to the joy of the fans and fielded with the energy of a demon. Appar ently everything was bliss and Joy in the little northern home. Maxey was proud of his wife and the new born daughter. He was glade he was a favorite with the crowds in the bleach ers. His monthly stipend kept the family in comfort. Then, one day when Maxey least looked for trouble, a big musical com edy played an engagement at the Hamilton theater. In the local paper was a glittering ad that the said com pany needed classy, good looking chorus ladies who could sing and dance. Maxey did not know that his wife ap plied for a place In the chorus. He did not know that she went to the theater one afternoon and was put through all the difficult tests. Neither did Maxey know that she made an in stant hit with the manager of the company. But the next night Maxey was sure something was wrong when he went to the little home. Mrs. Maxey and the baby Were gone. That night the ball- player made Inquiries. He learned that his wife had joined the show and that she had taken the baby with her. Maxey's heart was broken. For weeks he tried to get some word from the woman. But no letter came. That was five years ago. Gradually Maxey's batting eye be gan to fail. His former fast, snappy fielding was on the ragged edge. The fans hooted him when he made life less swipes at the ball. But Maxey's heart was not in the game. He was wondering of a little woman and a wee wisp of a child who were some where traveling with a big show. Somehow these day dreams and Maxey's performances on tre baseball lot became Jiopelessly tangled. So Maxey quit the game. Then he decided that he would run away. He wanted to get somewhere away from the old friends and the old surroundings. Somehow every thing in Hamilton seemed to haunt the former baseball slugger and bring back unpleasant memories. So Maxey came to Kansas. Maxey came to Topeka. He signed a contract for the 1910 season with Dick Cooleys alleged pennant chasers. News of Maxey's work in Canada had pre ceded him and Cooley expected the vet eran catcher to prove a record mitt ar tist. But he didn't. Perhaps the jinks was still on Maxey. His work was mediocre. His pegging to second was uncertain and his lamps were seldom trimmed when the home team needed a pinch hit to win. So Maxey's con tract soon terminated. This year the former Hamilton mitt artist expects to manage the Salina aggregation. He spends much of his time in Topeka. But the sting of Mrs. Maxey's desertion still rankles In the veteran s system. In his petition Maxey states that he was a kind, loving and dutirui nusDana and that his love and affection never faltered until the woman was hypno tized by the glare of the footlights. COUNTRY VS. CITY. Conflict of Interests at the Senate Reciprocity Hearing. Washington. May 11. Country and city were arrayed against each other today at the Canadian reciprocity near ing before the senate finance commit tee. The conflict was sharp. Farmers from Minneapolis and North Dakota de nounced the agreement as iniquitous while members of boards of trades from cities along the International boundary endorsed it unqualifiedly. Henry M. Flagg, master of the Min nesota State Grange, told the commit tee that nothing since the civil war had so inflamed the farmers of the northwest as the proposed "iniquitous reciDrocity bill. P. V. Collins, editor of a farm paper in the northwest, presented a protest signed by 36,000 farmers, 30.000 or. whom reside in Minnesota. Mr. Collins declared that support of reciprocity was due largely to misin formation. In this connection he re ferred to President Taft's message to congress In which rererence was maae tn provinces in Canada which Mr. Col lins said had ceased to exist years ago. Mr. Collins said he had been a Re publican all his life but he did not know which way to -turn now. "We will comfort you." volunteered Senator Bailey, the Texas Democrat. "We have learned in times past to fear the Greek3 bearing gifts," retorted Mr. Collins. Senator Stone subjected Mr. Collins to a sharp cross-examination. The senator led the witness to repeat that the farmers of Minnesota were en thusiastic in opposition to reciprocity. "Yes, they are more than that; they are vehement and bitter," asserted Col lins. From Mr. Collins farm paper, Mr. Stone then read that in response to an appeal for funds to send a delegation to Washington there had been con tributed $389. The Bum of $98, he read, had been paid to collect the amount and Jill of the total had been con tributed by bankers, $97 by creamery men; $41 by elevator men and $15 by fire insurance men. Mr.- Collins ex plained that these men mentioned were also farmers. "I presume from this showing that theirs is also enthusiasm vehemence, and bitterness," said Senator St on 3. The Buffalo men at this broke into cheers, which the committee had diffi culty in suppressing. BREAKS THE RECORD. The Mills Company Today Publishes Largest Advertisement. The largest mercantile advertise ment ever printed in the State Journal, or any other Topeka publication, ap pears in this issue of this paper. It covers nearly four full pages and is the announcement of a special sale by the Mills Dry Goods company. It is worthy of special note because it breaks all publicity records of any To peka institution. It is certainly a mammoth advertisement of a mam moth store. REACH SUPREME COURT Alaska Coal Land Claims in lair way for Adjudication. Washington, May 11. The fight over probably the richest coal lands in tha world was transferred today to the su preme court of the United States when the government docketed an appeal from the order of the federal court of Washington quashing the so-called "Stracey group'' Indictment. Judge Hanford of the lower court quashed the indictment on the ground that under his interpretation of the coal land laws applicable to Alaska, the in dictment had not stated an offense. The appeal from the decision will bring before the supreme court the determina tion of the law under which Alaskan coal land may be entered and sold. The appeal involves the indictments against Charles F. Munday, an attor ney of Seattle, Wash.; Archie Shielb. employed by Algernon Stracey. It does not include that against Stracey, who was indicted along with Munday, Shiels and Siegley, but who was ab sent when the others were arraigned. It was from the alleged interest of Stracey and his brother. Sir Edward H. Stracey, an English baronet and Lib eral member of parliament, in the land that tha name "Stracey group" or "English group" was given to the claims. The government charged in the in dictment that Munday, Shiels, Siegley and Algernon Stracey entered into a conspiracy to defraud the government out of six thousand acres of coal land, valued at $10,000,000 just west of the so called Cunningham coal land claims. SENATE ALONE MEETS. With the Direct Election or Senators the Unfinished Business! Washington,. May 11. With the house not In session and with the senate not meeting until 2 p. m. the legislative wheels moved slowly at the capitol today. The direct election of senators was the unfinished business in the the senate and will be pressed by Senator Borah having the resolution in charge. When the house resumes its sitting to morrow there will be submitted the re port of the committee on territories, rec ommending statehood for Arizona and New Mexico after the people of the terri tories have voted on proposed constitu tional amendments. Adjournment until Monday then will be taken and statehood will be called up Tuesday to be debated three days. The minority membership of the committee will submit a report urging that New Mexico be admitted without the requirement of voting on an amendment.

Fred Blachke Has Horse Twenty- Three inches Hlsti. New York, May 11. Frederick Blaschke, the animal sculptor of the American Museum of Natural History, has just shiDDed a small equestrian statue, twd feet high, to King George of England as a a coronation gut rrom waiter w lnans, the American sportsman. The statuette represents a woman dress ed as a Spanish bull lighter, seated on horseback and carrying a fan instead of the more deadly weapon, the lance. The horse, modelled after one of Mr. Winans' finest animals, is twenty-three inches high and is so cleverly covered with two pieces of the natural skin of a dark chestnut horse that the sculptor de ties any one to detect the slightest in eongruity in the work. WIND HITS THREE. Minneapolis Twister Similar t Recent Kansas Storm. Loss of Life Makes Local Storm Worse. BUILDINGS TORN UP. Barns, Houses and Shedi Blown From Foundations. Towns Are Struck by Storm a( Nearly Same Time. Moorhead, Minn.. May 11.

The rails gave way after tha engine and baggage car had passed and the weight of the heavy Pullman, caused the day coach and tourist sleep er to buckle up and roll down the fif teen foot embankment into the Eagle river.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAE THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 1911. RAILROAD NEWS. President Bush Will Spare No Tains on Missouri Pacific. To Make Their Road One ef the Best in the West. TO SPARE NO MONET. Everything Will Be Done in Improvement Line. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Kansas City, Missouri, May 11. That no pains will be spared in mak ing the Missouri Pacific one of the best if not the best railroad west of the Mississippi river, was the declaration made last night by President Benjamin F. Bush, the new head of the Missouri Pacific. President Bush, accompanied by a staff of officials, arrived in Kan Baa City after a trip over a part of the Missouri Pacific's mileage in Kan sas. "There is no doubt that the road Is not in the best condition now," Presi dent Bush said. "We are going to do all we can to make it a great railroad. IWe know that it has the geographical possibilities and all it needs is the mon ey. This has been promised me. and the work will be started within a short time. "We are now inspecting the physical condition. When we get through we will know what is needed and where to make the expenditures to the best advantage. With the funds which are available, all we need to do is to show the financial interests that the expen ses are needed and will bring returns In the end." President Bush makes a favorable Impression. He is approachable and democratic in manners. He is a big man physically, standing about six feet two inches, and weighs about 225 pounds. He appears thoroughly con versant with railroad matters. He has a heavy handshake for everyone he meets and is conversant with all. He aopears to be just the type of man the Missouri Pacific needs. "I like to meet the people along the line," he said. "I like western people, they are frank and free from shams. I want to get acquainted with our patrons all along the Missouri. Pacific and make them feel that we are not hostile to them and are alive to their needs. The Missouri Pacific must de pend upon the public for patronage, and we want to deal with them as our friends. I believe the public will ap preciate our efforts and cooperate with "a to the immediate improvement work of the Missouri Pacific, Mr. Bush lias made no definite plans. He says it will require nearly a month for him to get over the entire system, which has over 7,000 miles, and until then, he says, he can't tell exactly where to start. To improve the road, physi cally better its terminal facilities and put into service the best equipment that money can buy, Mr. Bush says, will be the slogan of the road. Head quarters, he says, are now In St. Louis, and all affairs will be handled from there. "If we can get our share of the busi ness the Missouri -Pacific will have suf ficient funds to put it on a par with any railroad in the east," Mr. Bush said. "I was much pleased with the results of the trip." said Mr. Bush. "It was started to inspect the physical condi tion of the road, but we found that it was a sort of get next to the people affair as well. At every station the mayor and the Commercial -club offi cials were on hand to meet us. They had automobiles and took us over near ly, every town we came to. Some of them wanted the company to make im provements and some were just glad to see us. Many of them I understand had never seen a Missouri Pacific pres ident before and were somewhat curi ous. They were all glad to see us, and I believe if I should move to Kansas and go Into politics I could carry the etate. "I am glad to meet such cordial re ceptions. It shows the people of the west are wide awake, that they want the country to grow. Our interests in that regard are common. We will help them all we can; all we want is a chance. "Western people have only one fault and I believe they are overcoming that. I refer to their anti-railroad views. I hardly think they are as hostile to rail road investments as they used to be. It is a hard matter for the railroads, when the railroad commissioners of the different states are not working in har mony. I believe railroad regulation is a. good thing, however, but I believe it should all be vested in the interstate commerce commission." EYGINEER STOPPED HIS TRAIN. With Passengers He Pnt Out a Fire Near the Track. Chillicothe, Mo., May 11. Leaving his engine, which was pulling an east bound Wabash passenger train, Clias. Miller, an engineer, Wednesday led a party of 60 passengers to the burning home of Miss Daisy Whittaker, near the track, west of here, and extin guished the flames, probably saving the lives of Miss Whittaker and her aged mother, who were asleep on the second floor of the residence. The women were unaware the fire was consuming their dwelling, until after the party had begun to battle with the flames. Miller saw the fire while he was speeding along a mile from it. When his engine drew as near as possible to the house he stopped and notified pas- The Fountain Head of Life CI t A man wno nm a wwi ana impaired iiomacn ana who aoei not properly digest his food will soon find that his blood has become weak and impoverished, and that his whole body is improperly and insufficiently nourished.

Fire buckets and axes were taken from the coaches and the volunteer bucket brigade made a quick run across a field to the burn ing residence. Several women were in the party. The fire fighters were not aware that the house was occupied until Miss Whittaker appeared at an upstairs window. She hurriedly awakened her mother and led her out of the house. The fire conquered. Miller ran back to his engine, pulled the throttle wide open and arrived here but a few minutes late. oHj ruvE over mountains. Santa Fe and Espee May Combine on New Project. San Bernardino, Cal., May 11. A large number of tasks are ahead of President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe lines, who is about to break up his winter rest at Santa Barbara. One matter he is expected to take up is that of the big oil pipe line to be stretched from Bakersfield to this county and which will give oil for the use of engines in this city and over the division. This pipe lino, whioh is projected Jointly by the Santa Fe and the Southern Pasific, will cost in the neighborhood of $1,250,000, and will be ifa miles long. The Wind Kept Ue High A survey has Just been completed along the line. Eight inch pipe is to be used. This oil is to be used by the companies for use on their engines on the southern divisions as well as for the east. Mr. Ripley is expected to take the matter up immediately with directors in the east. Another matter to be taken up by him is to be the inspection of the new line which will connect southern Cali fornia and San Francisco with Galves ton. This new line is expected to be fin ished August 1, and will be created by the connecting of the line between Lubbock and Coleman, Tex. It will thus give the Santa Fe a short line between San Francisco and Galveston, and will decrease the dis tance between San Bernardino and the Texas city by some 600 miles. SANTA FE CARS FOR WOJIEN. Rumored That New Feature W1U Be Added to Passenger Service.' Cars for women only! This is the, very latest in railway in novations, and it is said will soon be inaugurated on the Southern Pacific and possibly the Santa Fe overland trains, is what the San Bernardino (Cal.) Sun has figured out. Mere man will be permitted to use and occupy a portion of these cars only. 'The principal compartment, however, and the largest, will be a parlor, luxuriously furnished, which will be devoted to the exclusive use of women passengers. Already the Burlington route has placed these cars in service between Chicago and St. Paul, while three weeks ago the Chicago Great Western adopted the plan on some of its trains. The innovation has been hastened by the constantly increasing patronage of women traveling alone, and it is pre dicted that within a comparatively short time the innovation will be adopted by nearly every railroad in the country of any importance. It is understood that both the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific are al ready considering the proposition. FIGHT FIRES WITH MOTOR CARS BnrUnsrton Has New Scheme of Re ducing Northwest Losses. Edgemont, S. T., May 11. Fire losses in the Black Hills forests will likely be greatly reduced this summer by the preventive measures being tak en by the C. B. Q. railroad, from whose right of way many destructive fires have started in past seasons. The company has ordered a number of motor cars, and it is planned to have men with tools on one of theee cars follow each train on the Black Hills division during dry weather. Where cinders have started the grass to burn ing it will be at once detected and the work of putting it out will take but a few minutes, which will be more economical from every standpoint than loading a special train with all available men and provisions and put ting out a fire after perhaps days of work, and with perhaps heavy dam ages to pay for tracts of timber de stroyed. One of these cars arrived at Edgemont Saturday and is being tried out. Tex Jones Back to Holland. Chicago, May 11. W. R. "Tex" Jones, a Chicago American league recruit, was released Wednesday to the St. Joseph, Mo., club of the Western league. Ha came from the same club last fall with a batting record of .308. 3 Is The Stomacbv KAVS STOP SIOUX Farce Comedy at Local Arena Ends in Local's Favor. Dust Hides Game and Wind Makes Flay Laughable. FOULS BLOWN SAFE. Haskell Narrowly Misses Pun ishment for Past Misdeeds. Three Home Buns, One by Whit ney, Features. The Kaws whipped the Soos. Arid it was a more important battle than the one fought at Juarez. The Sioux had made it 12 straight wins and there was a general impression that the ST DOWN WHILE YOUZ WXrrJHQ FOR THE. JSJ7J.JL Ones a Long Time Up. Kaws could only hold .the candle a minute and light them on their way. It was a swatfest of 29 hits, but Moore's tribe hammered the bean when the pot was hot and took the large portion of 11 to 7. The thirteen hoodoo worked on the Soos. On a dust swept diamond the champion infield became erratic and the Kaws made bad medicine fo Melter and Wilkins. The high wind made fly balls hard to judge and extra base hits and scratches were the order of the day. Three home runs figured in the game and Babe Towne took a turn at the bat in the ninth. Soo Start in Lead. Fugate was on the mound for the Kaws and fared little better than the pair opposed to him. Neighbors got the lead for Sioux City in the second when he tripled and scored on a dou ble delayed steal. Then the Kaws came up with three in the third, an error by Breen, a single by Thomason and dou bles by Whitney and Hopke, pushing them across. They added one in the fourth and three in the sixth. Both Teams Were Leaded for Lion and the Infield Work to the Trenches. Wilkins went to the box to start the seventh. Hopke slammed the first ball he threw to deep center for a homer. In the eighth a hit and a walk put ticKert ana Thomason on and Whit ney followed with a home run. The Sioux warriors fought hopefully to cover the lead and added two in the eighth and ninth. Welch, Neighbors ana Wagner singled for two runs, Towne singled when he led off in the ninth but was caught in a double play Stem beat out a bunt and Welch crack ed a high one over the left field fence. Neighbors hit down to first. Haskell in Banger. But there were star plays in the con course and not a little comedy was put over by the wind. In the first place Jack Haskell might have been killed. He was not, however, and therefore the comedy. The chief of the arbitrators has been going good and there was no excuse for his providential warning but, be that as it may. a high foul which started over the grandstand and was given up for lost, blew back into the field and barely missed the umpire's nut. Then Manager Moore pulled off a Sa lome trying to get under a popup by Miller, finally lost it, and then fell onto it in time to take down a runner at second. Whitney also came in for his exhibition and his act contained some genuine skill. Wagner hit one a mile high over the first base grandstand. The players were wise by this time and watched it while Wagner beat the base line. Just as he passed Whitney the ball lit in the diamond by two feet, bounded up into Whit's mitt, and the big fellow took a fast swing at the runner, -knocking off his cap. "You're out." bawled Haskell. "Hit one while the wind is blowing," is the way the coachers yelled and of ten enough the spectators didn't get to see the stunt for the dust that cir cled the stands and settled again to await another return ticket. Three Fast Doubles. Three fast double plays helped the Kaws to win. Hopke got a fast one near second and whipped to Whitney, cutting down Andreas and Stem in the third. Moore caught a liner and swung to first, getting Breen and Reilly in the fourth. And in the last, one of those Hopke to Moore to Whitney kind closed down on a Soo rally. The last play of the game was a sensational one by Whitney. Neighbors hit a fast one w-ide of first which look ed safe. But Mert got his meat hand in front of it. knocked it down and carried it to the sack ahead of the per son who Uvea next door. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. P. A. E.

Three home runs are bound to make some excitement in a game but the greatest sport was in watching play ers dodge the return high balls which came down in four directions. Hopke fell into his hitting stride and took out a single, a double and a homer. And he handled eight chances without a bobble, doing sensational work in the first inning when he cut down Andreas at third. Jack Fugate passed a restful day in his ticket office behind closed windows. He refused to be bothered by applicants and did not issue a single pass all day. Yes, it was the same Fugate, the south paw, and the only man who has beaten the Soos in thirteen days. Pitchers Joe Cook and Clay Clark drove in yesterday and appeared at the ball lot. The two say everywhere they have been sent they go together like pair of twins. They have gone from the Three-I to the Cubs, to St. Paul and to Topeka this spring.

When the Sox were in Topeka it was doped that Col lins would start the season on the Initial corner but Tex got the sendoff then the accident and now an awful swatter to compete with.

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, May 1L This little bullet-riddled city is the provis ional capital of Mexico and Francisco I. Madero, Jr., provisional president, and his staff, have taken complete pos session after winning the bloodiest bat tle of the Mexican revolution. In a corner room of the barracks, which he for two days held against the terrific fire of the rebels, sits General Juan J. Navarro, the federal comman der, a captive, having surrendered with almost his entire garrison of several hundred men. His sallow race is sunK en. his head is bowed and he does not talk, for the bitter sting of defeat has disheartened him. In contrast, in another part of the little town is Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the conquerer, surrounded by members of his family ana nis stair, omcers, joy ous.' exultant and flushed with victory, yet ready to make peace, they say, with the Mexican government if it is dis posed to deal frankly and sincerely with the revolutionists and without such vague promises as "President Diaz's manifesto contains. In hotel lobbies, store fronts and hall ways, the improvised hospitals of the battlefield, are scores of wounded, at tended by a host of physicians and nurses from El Paso who. have volun teered medical relief. The floors of the Porflrio Diaz hotel, where 30 wound ed lay groaning at one time, are cov ered with blood and gore-soaked cloth' in fir. "The fortunes of war," mumbled an Insurrecto soldier In Spanish last night as he stood with tears in his eyes over the body of a dead reaerai soiaier wmim he had known for years. All the dead are being buried. A conservative estimate of physicians as well as insurrecto leaders who survey ed the fighting, puts the federal dead at nearly 60 and the rebel loss at about 15, with a total of nearly 250 wound ed on both sides. The real number lost probably never wm De Known as ue serters were many and the dead have been buried quickly. The Associated Press correspondent counted seven dead federals in the barracks late yesterday. Among the dead were Colonel Tam borel and Captain Sachudo, the former the man who .a few days ago, taunted the rebels as cowards. On the American Side. On the American side of the line five have been killed and about 17 wound ed, many of them being innocently en gaged at a distance from the. river front. The actual surrender of the town by General Navarro took place at about 11 o'clock, General Navarro giving his sword to Colonel Garibaldi, of the in surrecto army, after the rebels had completely surrounded the barrack's and threatened to annihilate the gar rison within. Navarro's eyes dimmed as he sur rendered, but Colonel Garibaldi, with a handshake that bespoke his sincere ad miration for the brave fight the fed eral leader had made, assured him of the desire of the rebels to afford him every courtesy. A score of rebel officers rode up and extended to the federal commander their sympathy as Mexicans for him and his men. There is the same fra ternal sentiment in the hearts of the entire insurrecto army for their coun trymen who have been defeated, but everywhere are heard words of oppro brium for President Diaz, who they hold responsible for the loss of life and the suffering of the wounded. General Madero himself, when he ar rived this afternoon at the corral where the federal prisoners now are quarter ed, made an address full of sympathy and encouragement, lauding them for their bravery and assuring them that in his heart as well as in those of his men, there was no feeling of enmity but of uniform friendliness. "You fought for General Diaz," he declared at the conclusion of his speech, "because you had to, because you were a part of that system which we are trying to dissolve. In a few days, perhaps, peace will be restored. You soon will be free. If the war Is co be continued, you can have your choice of being paroled or Joining the army of liberation. In the meantime, we shall treat you as brothers, not as foes." With shouts of "viva Madero," tha vast throng of prisoners and insur rectos who gathered to hear him, threw their hats skyward and shouted in most deafening applause. Mrs. Madero Rides In. A few moments later dow- the main thoroughfare was heard the galloping or norses and soon the insurrecto standard, the Mexican rational colors, flashed in the sunlight. Behind it rode Mrs. Francisco I. Madero, Jr., and an escort of cavalry. Her face was beam ing with Joy, her black dress covered with dust, and she spurred her horse to the scene of her husband's triumph. The shouting increased as the two em braced and entered the municipal building, now the Madero headquar ters. Several houses have been burned to the ground. Numerous adobe dwell ings are roofless. Some have large noies in their walls, exposing to view w-recked interiors. Window glass, bed ding and debris generally litters the streets. Scores of buildings are punc tured with bullet holes. Many show the destructive effect of th3 artillery lire. The flags of all nations were flying from the dwellings of foreign residents. Down the streets after the surren der sauntered the insurrecto soldiers In search of food and water. Their faces were unshaven, their hair un kempt and their eyes worn by the loss of sleep in the three ?ays fighting, yet they went about Joyfully shout ing "viva Madero" as they passed one another. American doctors bandaged torn thumbs, grazed arms and other slight wounds for them and they gathered in the streets to celebrate their vic tory. They were allowed to do so, however, only after the rebel chiefs nad placed a guard at all stores and houses whose entrances were exnosed. as well as around the outskirts of the town. Telephone wires were soon being re paired and shattered telegraph poles replaced. The insurrectos are trying to make their new capita! a habitable place. Happiest among those who were about the streets were the prisoners liberated from the Jail. Many of them claim to have been innocent of any wrong doing. James Monaghan. whose address is Philadelphia, Pa., who went sightseeing in Juarez on Sunday, says he was arrested as a spy and since then has been in prison, being forced very frequently, however, during the fight ing, to carry water from across the street to the federal soldiers who fought from the top of the Jail. Madero Issues a Satatemcnt. General Madero walked about in the streets congratulating his men. Their horses had not yet been brought from the old camp. He wore a felt hat with the insurrecto colors wrapped around it. Safely quartered in the municipal building, in more commodious quarters than his adobe hut of the last three weeks, he dictated the following state ment "The taking of Juarez is of a very great military and political Importance to the revolutionists and It assures us of a complete triumph in a very short time. "The forces which defended the town fought valiantly. They owe their de feat to the fact" that our forces were inspired in this fight by the spirit to win political liberty, while the federals were only held in their ranks by the yoke of discipline. The majority are in the army against their will. For this reason, I wish to announce to all sol diers that I will set them free as soon as I can find a way to insure some means of support for those who do not wish to Incorporate themselves in my forces. "At present I cannot set them free, as they have no means of subsistence. which would be dangerous. As far ad I can now observe, the majority of the prisoners will swell my forces. Some of the officers I am sure will enter my army and those who wish to remain true to the government of Porflrio Diaz will be exchanged for prisoners of war or political prisoners. (Signed) "FRANCISCO I. MADERO. JR. "Provisional President of Mexico." AT THE CAPTTAIi. How the News of the loss of Juarez Was Received;. Mexico City, May 11. There is no one in the capital not under the official baa of silence, who does not admit that the capture of Juarez by the revolutionists acds prestige to the revolt and that it is bound gTeatly to augment the strength of the insurrecto cause. The war began last November and General Navarro took the field in west ern Chihuahua. Skirmish followed skirmish and ambush followed ambusii with no apparent advantage to either side. It has been a fight of the insurrectos led at first by Orozco and later by Ma dero against Navarro. The net result of the long campaign has been that th3 federal force was divided and that Na varro's diminished command was caught at Juarez and decisively beaten. Navarro was not accounted brilliant, but was given credit for bravery and determination. He was quoted here as having assured the president he would die rather than surrender. It was be lieved he would hold his position. News that he had surrendered came as a sur prise, but, it is generally admitted, not as a disappointment to most persons. Among higher government officials news dispatches which invariably have been many hours ahead of official ad vices from the Mexican consul at El Paso, and which have been much more accurate, were accepted with reluctance as truthful. Notice was sent to the newspapers that a cabinet meeting had been called and inviting the papers to send repre sentatives to the palace. Within the portals of this edifice with a great show of confidence, they were given copies of belated dispatches from the consul at El Paso. There were two of these, one received at 2 p. m. and the other half an hour later, both saying the federals still held their own at Juarez. As a contradiction to press reports the messages speedily failed when, by dint of cross-examination, it was learn ed they had been filed before the sur render. Six months ago the Spanish press would have printed the telegrams in their biggest type. It is significant of the changed conditions that not a newspaper has published them. The general situation in its increased gravity furnished a solemn subject for the cabinet meeting and one of the liveliest debates in the cafes and sa loons. With Juarez In the hands of Gen eral Madero, the task of General Ra bago, sent north from Chihuahua with 800 men to the relief of Navarro, be comes more difficult. If it proves true that some of Na varro's force escaped after expending their ammunition, it is probable, as viewed here, that they will Join forces with General Rabago. Thus, accord ing to popular and official opinion, the issue at Juarez remains to be rought out, probably with bullets, possibly with the reopening of peace negotia tions. The conquering of the government's leading general, it is generally con ceded, can not but stir the martial ar dor and the ambition of those bands whose operations thus far have been purely local. The rebels have taken tne state or Chihuahua by force of arms; they have long controlled the greater part of Sonora, and in the last two months have increased in strength by leaps and bounds in Coahuila Durango is generally conceded to the rebels and Zacacetas Is overrun with them. In Aguas Calientes armed revolutionists outnumber the federals. To the south of the capital lies the menace of the four Figueroa brothers, the most pow erful of whom, with 800 followers, has been awaiting the result of Madero's negotiations with the government. Re cently he said he would be guided for peace or war by Madero. No word has been received from him since the fighting at Juarez began. Besides this force, vague estimates have it that there are anywhere from 5,000 to 10, 000 scantily equipped additional forces waiting to be organized into a fighting force by the Flgueroas for an attacK on this city. The Figueroas say 6,000 of their followers are armed. In the last few days a belief has been current that the federal force here does not come within fifty per cent of the strength which has been credited to it. In many minds there is doubt as to the loyalty of many of these troops should revolutionary vic tories continue. Several Mexican of ficers, in private conversation with American friends, have given tongue to this fear. Purity Baby Chick Feed, purest and best. Prompt delivery.

The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives tne run oaj tclnrrnnh rpnnrt of that (Treat tows or ganization for the exclusive afternoon BnhHfjitinn In Tonplrfl. The news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires tor this sole pur pose. A little police activity in running down the Incendiary who la plying- Ma riastardlv trade on the barns In Topeka might not be amiss. The mercury has been going up in these parts of late but like the elevator and everything else that goes that -way it was bound to take a drop before long. The Kansas Live Stock association proposes to investigate and find out who makes the profit on meat. There la no doubt, though, as to who provide this profit. The Canadian reciprocity plan seems to be growing more popular all the time. Newfoundland hopes to be ad mitted to a full participation in it. If it is brought about. Now that something like a battle has been fought there, it is really appro priate for the first time for the bright men to remark that Juarea what Gen. Sherman said it was. Topeka's ball team appears to be striving valiantly and it- seems to be full of excellent material, but not much luck is breaking with it. Still the kind of ball that is being served up at the local park is well worth seeing even if the home team is losing. Both sides to the Mexican revolution in the field are likely much chagrined that the peace negotiations fell through. It is now incumbent on them to do a little fighting. Evidence has not been wanting that this was the very last thing either sldo was anxious for. Germany and France appear to be in need of the good offices of the promot ers of universal peace. Germany has warned France that the occupancy of Fez is likely to be followed by dan gerous consequences and a German cruiser has been ordered to Morocco, Commissioner Tandy says he will ignore the street commissioner who was appointed over his head. This seems to indicate that the squabble which has been projected among the city commissioners will continue for the next two years. Nor is this an en couraging prospect for making the commission form of government much of a success; Not so long ago a Massachusetts ex pert announced that a family of five should have no trouble in living well on $600 a year. Now the Boston school teachers insist that it is impos sible for a woman school teacher to live properly on an income less than $1,240 a year. Evidently there Is need for Massachusetts folk to get together on this proposition. And the nation's wheat crop, which was declared to be going to the dogs a couple of months ago, was in several points better condition on May 1 than was the crop of a year ago at the same time, and a full point better than the average crop for ten years. Isn't it about time the "crop killers" devoted their peculiar energies to some other calling? No charge can ever be laid against President Taft that he has used his high office to play politics or further his personal political Interests. He told the representatives of the National Grange the other day that he was sor ry if his pressing of the Canadian re ciprocity bill would cost him the farm ers' vote. But that possibility would not swerve him from his purpose of urging this legislation. A Cherokee Indian has brought suit against an Oklahoma railroad for $250,000 damages for the loss of an eye. It was put out by a cinder. In days gone by such an accident to an Indian would have been looked upon by him as a trifle and with equanimity. He would probably have been distin guished by his tribe with a suggestive name of "Man-wlth-one-eye," and would have gloried in it. If Senator Vint Stillings plan to op erate his theater in Leavenworth on Sunday by renting It to a Seven Day Adventlst. is successful, it la reasona ble to assume that the membership of this sect in Kansas will grow with leaps and bounds. And the recruits iwill be made up mostly of theater own ers, theater workers and members of the theatrical profession. But then, per haps, the law will be interpreted so as to prohibit any but Seven Day Ad ventists from attending shows. And the farmers' free list bill went I sailing fast through the Democratic bouse 9t representatives with, its col- ors nailed firmly to the topmast. Such legislative activity has never been equalled before in any house of rep resentatives. And if the senate in dulges in its usual procrastination on all matters of legislation, it will have to sit in continuous session for a cou pie of years or more to catch up with the work already done by the house. But maybe the senate will change its methods. Here's hoping. THE SANTA FE SHOP FIRE, That disastrous explosion and fire in the Santa Fe shops the other day, which snuffed out three lives and de stroyed considerable property, also emphasizes the fact that the serious accidents and destructive fires in this enormous shop plant are actually few and far between. There have not been a half dozen of them in as many years. Such a showing is really a re markable one. Nearly four thousand men are em ployed In these shops. In the very nature of their work, much of it is especially hazardous. Ponderous ma chinery Is in operation incessantly. Mammoth stores of all kinds of oil, paint and varnish are kept on hand and put in use daily. Furnaces are always running. Millions of feet or lumber are stored near by. Regular nasaensrer and freight trains run through the entire length of the shop plant. Switching and donkey engines in large numbers are running around the yards every minute of the day, blowing out their sparks and envelop ing things with their steam. The ac tivitles of the shops are multitudinous and many of them are dangerous. An act of carelessness on the part of a single employee would be fraught with grave results. And yet this work is carried on day after day with accidents and fires so few that when one of any particu lar severity or size does happen, it comes with almost stunning force. In most of the big railroad shops of the country and in other big industries where many men are employed in hazardous undertakings, accidents and fires of the proportions of the one that occurred in the Santa Fe shops the other day happen with unerring fre quency. That more of them do not occur in the Santa Fe shops is a convincing piece of testimony of the efficiency with which this huge plant is conduct and and also of the intelligence and skill of the thousands of men who labor In it. HOW DEMOCRATS LEGISLATE. Surprise is being expressed all over the country at the speed with which the members of the Democratic ma jority in the house of representatives are transacting public business and disposing of important matters of leg islation. Nothing like it has been seen before in "Washington, or in any other legislative center, for that matter. The reason is not difficult to find. The Democrats in the house are work ing together In a concerted fashion. They have been welded by Champ Clark and the other leaders Into a per fect legislative machine. Not a cog of It is permitted to slip. To be sure there have been differences of opinion among many of the Democrats in the house on various details of many of the important pieces of legislation that have been passed. But these differ ences have been threshed out in cau cuses and the majority vote of the Democrats on every proposition has been the rule for all of them, when it came time to press legislation to a conclusion in the face of the common enemy. A decidedly different story would have been told concerning the progress of legislation in the house if the Demo crats who have opposed the details of several of the pieces of legislation, or the way the leaders were running things, had herded together and insist ed that a band-wagon or a steam roller or something of the sort was being run over them; that they were being deprived of their rights as mem bers of the house because, forsooth, a majority of their party could not be persuaded to see things as they would wish. If such malcontents had de veloped and then gone onto the floor of the house and worked with the op position minority to thwart every move of the leaders of the supposed ma jority of the house, the Democratic leaders would scarcely be started on their program of legislation instead of being pretty nearly through with it. Yet such was the situation that con fronted the Republican majority in the last congress. Is it any wonder that more was not accomplished? No Re publican majority In any preceding congress has ever presented the aspect of such a well-oiled legislative ma chine as the Democrats of the house are now operating. And still there is no howling from any quarter of the house that anybody's rights are being trampled on. As a matter of fact the same old horse is running things In the house but it happens to be of an other color. HORROR OP HORRORS! If the faculty of Radcliffe college, the co-educational end of Harvard uni versity, enforces its recent edict, and it Is also promulgated by other similar educational institutions, it is likely that college careers will hold out little or no attraction in the future for girls of all degree. The proposition seems pre posterous. It looks like a step that even angels would fear to take. But nonetheless it decrees that the sweet girl graduates shall display their sweetness on graduation day, at least, in mere rags of simplicity. To the girls of Radcliffe, their men tors say that when they step up to get their diplomas they must wear nothing more gaudy than plain white shirtwaists and skirts, with equally plain white collars and little bow ties, plain white belts; black oxford shoes and black stockings. That's not the worst of it. The girls are forbidden to wear Jewelry of any kind or any sort of ornaments even, in their hair. Nor can they carry flowers., Of course many a girl looks chic and charming in such a costume: But what girl would consider it a proper rigging for any suca memorable event aa cred uation from college? Most girls begin to plan their graduation gowns in their freshmen year and by the time they have given four years' thought to them they are naturally most wonderful cre ations. Indeed, the elaborate gradu ation gown is by far the most import ant feature of the average college girl's life. And now she is to be de prived, of it at Radcliffe. at any rate. This- is also one of those things in which colleges are a good deal like sheep. What one sheep does they all do. Could a more horrible, a more terrible prospect be imagined? The only Individuals who will probably smile with satisfaction at it are the fond fathers who would have to foot the bills for the usual graduation frills and furbelows. Perhaps those wonderfully wise pro feasors and professoresses at Radcliffe have an ulterior purpose in view. It is said that only 2 per cent of the college girls ever dream of entering the matri monial arena. It seems to be inherent In feminine nature that at one stage in every girl's career she must deck her self out in a wondrous gown of white, Now if this is forbidden the college girls at their graduation, perhaps many more of them will insist on their pre. roga fives in this particular and wear one at the matrimonial altar. JOURNAL ENTRIES Too many people are satisfied with small successes. Peevish children are bad enough but they're not to be compared witii peevish grown-ups. Those who resent criticism the quick est are generally the handiest about giving it. Takinc one's punishment like a man is usually trying to blame tne responsi bility for it on a woman. Not so many people would have to go away for their health if they did not have the price of the trip. J A YHA WKER JOTS it's useless to argue, insists the Mc pherson Republican, unless you know you are wrong. A word of encouragement from the Troy Chief: He who has never failed has never half-succeeded. The members of the Harper Study and Social club started off their recent banquet with a "Kumquat Cocktail." The first of last week reminded tho Oberlln Times of the old song, "Decern bers as Pleasant as May," with a full realization of its truthfulness. If it were not for oranges going east and bananas going west there would not be much doing; on the road, reports tne ureeley County Republican. We are glad that it is only the roller towel that is to go, says the Hill City .Keveille-New Bra. Our towel has at ways stood up in the corner, a roller not being necessary. The Lawrence Gazette divides the autoists into two classes: One kind need them In their business, and -the other kind get them just because the otntr fellows have them. During the sermon the parson stated that his mission was that of saving young men, reports the Morganville Tribune. One of the Claflin voiins ladies in the congregation giggled and men wnisperea: "CJee. I wish he would save a nice one for me." Vanity, vanity, all is vanity. Every man takes a certain amount of pride, says the Alma Signal. In telling that his is a particularly hard face to shave. Once in a while a man has an op propriate name. Mr. Butcher is the proprietor of a meat market at Solo mon. "A fellow told me the other day," de clared old Si Chestnut to the Sedgwick Pantagraph, "that under the new law It was unlawful to catch a carp with out having the carp's written permis sion, properly signed by a notary pub lic. Snappln' turtles need protection next." We saw a woman the other day who Is a jewel and of whom her husband should feel exceedingly proud, reports the Hoxle Sentinel. She was in one of the stores and among the first items on her "want list," after having her eggs counted and her butter weighed,' was a plug of tobacco. An optimistic note sounded by Harry Leonard in his Harper Sentinel: Corn Is in, oats are looking fine, the first crop of alfalfa will be ready to cut in two weeks, young colts are frisking. Farmers have aknost forgotten that wheat they were compelled to plow up and Kansas again has the look of the old time prosperity. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. One good turn doesn't always get another just because it happens to deserve it. Every box of matches has a few thin ones that break when you go to light them. If order Is heaven's first law, a num ber of the very worthy people won't enjoy It much. It may be said for the preachers that they don't figure on pulling you through on a technicality. Something is wrong with the woman who has to have some one defending her Honor with a gun. When some one says: "This town is full of the meanest old gossips," It indicates HE is being talked about. Whenever anything happens dis pleasing to a man, he likes to say: "There'll be a reaction some day." Not putting bands around cigars is another conservation stunt that de serves more attention than it gets. Mighty few men are built to wear a sweater coat and make it seem a thing of beauty and a joy forever. A country band man usually wears his uniform as if he wanted everyone to realize what an uncomfortable rig it is. Most of the remedies warranted to drive the enterprising mosquito from your midst, are so much worse than the mosquito. Are you pretty good at forgetting geography? Most of us find we're that way when something happens in dis tant places. Every man who has had a felon on his finger tells some pretty large stories of lying awake with the pain it caused him. No man will put up with the same kind of service in his dining room that he accepts gracefully at 'a picnic or a free lunch counter. If you don't know anything about it, satisfactory results can sometimes be obtained by keeping still and looking as wise aa possible. KANSAS COMMENT CAN CORN CROP BE DOUBLED? Agriculturists are urging that the farmers in the great corn belt through seed selection and improved farming methods, double the corn crop. Last year this country produced more than c umion Dushels and to double that would mean a yield of six billion bushels. This is so stupendous that mo euect is nardly. conceivable. Strange as it may seem this vast country has already been settled so generally that ranges for cattle are limited. It is nn K,rol tia nnrth.rn Mexico is destined to supply yearlings twu-JBa-r-Olfla Whlrh will nnnniimA the corn grown in the middle west. But iiie suppiy or nogs is limited only to the supply of corn, and if thn rnm crop is doubled, so would the hog crop be proportionally. The hog matures lapiuiy mat ne can be bred and fattened soon enough to catch up with the biggest corn crop. The effect of a double crop of corn would be to reduce the price of pork essentially. It would take at least two years to make a perceptible increase in cattle, but that would follow a cer tainty tnat future crops of corn would be four or five billion bushels. A plentiful supply of corn means better times for everyone. It Is true tnat it would be cheaper, but that wouldn't hurt the farmer with twice as much to sell. Hog meat would be cheaper with Just as much profit to the producer,, and eventually beef would be more plentiful, although the shortage of pasture will keep that arti cle of food high for the future Onaga Herald. KEEP TOUR CATTLE IN. Man must have protection. Most frequently against his enemies, but sometimes against himself. Phy sical protection is most sought though the moral is needed, and one cannot come without the other. In his earlier history he bullded walls ana castles and moats to keep him against man and beast. In his later civilization he builds fences to restrain his cattle and protect his neighbors against their ravages. In both periods he has found peace and comfort only in the strength and permanence of his defences. The great stone and mortar barriers of ancient days find their counterpart In the spidery web of steel which surrounds the modern demesne, and. as one was built and repaired from the rocks of the lasting hills, so the other is made from the nearby catalpa grove and the strands spun of earth's greatest metal. Earlier man restrained his neighbors; later man. himself. -The difference is one of civilization. Stone walls made good neighbors by keeping them out; woven wire makes good neighbors by keeping our cattle in. I. D. G. in the Kansas Farmer. FROM OTHER PENS DIAZ'S DANGER. Whila President Diaz has consented to an armistice in the northern tier of States, the insurgents are steadily moving closer to the City of Mexico, which is in a weak state of defense, Already about half of Mexico has been abandoned by the Diaz government If It should be driven from the capital it would soon go out of existence. In every war the., capital of the country Is the supreme prize of which the enemy seeks to secure possession. It is the point on wnicn naturally vie tory or defeat hangs'. Guerilla meth ods may be carried oh indefinitely by a government on wheels, as In South Africa, but it is the last desperate re sistance of a broken cause. France still had large forces in the field after the provisional government withdrew from Paris and the Germans Invested the city, but the surrender of the city ended the war. The capture of Richmond was the one victory above all others at which a succession of Northern generals aimed. It was the one stronghold for which Lee and his generals staked everything else. It represented the Government. If the Diaz Government shall pro tract the peace negotiations until the City of Mexico passes out of its control it will be in a poor position to make terms with the Maderists. An armis tice that leaves the vital point of the National Government exposed is likely to prove an unsafe hope. New York World. SPENDING MONET ABROAD. Basing calculations on the estimate that the number or American tourists in Europe in a season is 300,000, and that the average individual expendi ture by these tourists is $760, someone has easily ngurea tnat aDout jzzs.uuu, 000 of American money is spent abroad In the course of a season: and this does not include the cost of steam ship tickets. Bankers who handle the letters of credit for wealthy American tourists are quoted to the effect that $3,000 is a fair average for the value of these letters.- Among tourists of the wealthy class, says the report, it is common to place from $25,000 to $75,- 000 in the hands or tne bankers, ana, as a rule, tuny two-tmras or tne amount is drawn. Possibly the major premise of this main proposition has been overdrawn; possibly the minor premise; possibly both and possibly neither. In any event, it must be ad mitted that $225,000,000 is a tremen dous sum of American money to be taken to Europe and left there in a single season. To be sure, foreign tourists come to America, and some of them soend money freely over nere: but no one supposes for a minute that the money they leave on this side is at all commensurate with the expendi tures of Americans abroad. Manches ter Union. ANNEXATION A FALSE ISSUE. The opponents of Canadian annexa tion are proceeding on the theory that any stick is good enough to beat a dog with. The issue is not raised in the agreement with Canada. It is known to all that Canada is ratner sensitive on the subject, and the more that is said regarding the probability of an nexation, the more likely Canada itself will be to reject the agreement. Even Canadians who are friendly to annexa tion do not propose to be dragged or pulled Into the Union, and resent the idea of annexation by indirection. In spite of what the president said, Mr. Prince of Illinois, insists tnat reci procity means annexation because he knows that will create m reeling in Canada and will complicate the Ameri can support of the measure. We have had reciprocity arrange ments with several countries. The ab sorption of Hawaii was due to other forces entirely and had nothing to do with reciprocity except so far as that policy had promoted American owner ship of Hawaiian commerce. The re lation of this to the annexation was very remote. We have a reciprocity treaty with Cuba; there Is not the least probability of the annexation of Cuba. Reciprocity with the Dominion is more likely to defer than to expedite annex ation. So long as the British connec tion Is not Inconsistent with Canadian trade interests, Canada will remain loyal.

Our stay on earth must cease." And Effort languished by Hope's bier And well-nigh died, but Need was near To lend a succoring hand. Far deeper still the grave became. And Heaven Itself an empty name And not a promised land. Then morning dawned. Hope lived again.

Slang has reared its head in high Places lately. Only Wednesday the united fatates supreme court was duz- zled over what a railroarl pnnii,ionr meant when he said to the engineer un. neu, back up!" Justice Mc- Kenna suggested that he might have meant: "Oh. cheeso ui" n. i aib newsDanera mint. i v. fund" that had been raised "to put Lorimer over."

Anyway, I'm all for slang and believe In it heartily. If you will go out and buv mv hnnfc you u see tnat I indorse it." Miss Virginia C. Gildersleeve. the new dean of Barnard and a professor of English, said that she wouldn't at tempt to draw a fine line between wnat was slang and what wasn't. It was an a question of taste. Prof. George Clinton Densmore OdelL professor of English In Colum bia, was willing to discuss slang, aa he regarded it as a great menace to the language. I believe it originates." said he. "among the people who have not the words to express abstract ideas. They are accustomed to many physical ob jects, and they try to express abstract Ideas by means of these images, ap plied to something they were not meant to express. "A man sees a flagman stop a train and he then says 'flag it," when he wishes to stop anything. The feet in running strike the ground hard and so he says beat it. "I believe that slang retards greatly the expression of Ideas, since it gives a limited and very crude idea of what is in the speaker's mind. Foreigners can not understand it because much of it means absolutely nothing. A young man tells me something, and then adds: 'Now what do you know about that?? I always reply:' 'I know noth ing about it except what you have told me.' And this seems to nettle him very much. "There Is at the present time a cer tain movement toward slang in the lit erature of the day until It is a ques tion whether literature shall be writ- ten in the language of ideas or that of crude images that are used to ex press those ideas. I do not think that slang win ever force its ways into polite society. though in a way the originator of slang is a sort of poet, since he ex presses things through symbolism." New York World. Booker T. In Swell Colony. Within a stone's throw of where the Duchess of Marlborough made her sum mer home on Long Island, and in the midst of the homes of many families of wealth and prominence, Dr. Booker T. Washington, educator, has purchased 2 acres of land and a new house con' talning 12 rooms, and hereafter will oc cupy the place as his summer home. The place is at H'ort saionga, in tne town of Huntington, and commands a beautiful view of a long stretch of Long Island Sound. It was once the property of J. Cornell Brown, who purchased It some years ago because of the pic- turesaueness of the site. The land is a knoll, and, besides commanding the sound view, has an outlook over Smith town Bay and Crane Neck Point. As his nearest neighbors Dr. Wash ington will have Francis B. Swayne, a prominent lawyer; Miss Farman, who is a niece of Bishop Potter; Dr. Kil- lette, widely known as a physician in Manhattan; C. O. wetmore ana 1. v. Tremain. There are scores of other families of equal social prestige and wealth who live within a mile or two of the place on estates of considerable size, and which they have owned for many years. It is said that at one time tnere was a tacit understanding among the prop erty owners of the town that no one would sell to an outsider without the consent of the others, but the agree ment has not been in force in recent While some of the land has fallen into the hands of persons who were not altogether acceptapie to tne older residents as neighbors, there have been no negroes in tne locality, except ing servants, who iivea in tne smaii tenant houses on the estates of their employers and who were few In num ber. wnill living there for a certain perioa oarh vear. so that sne might retain her iHo-hta u an American (property owner. th. riiirhfa ot aiariDorougn at me u&-c Tieia-hbors in the matter of keeping the estates in good shape, and keeping the locality exclusive, muuu in the territory is the celebrated Indian Head farm, once maintained by H.

Jimmie Bennett knew something would happen If he took out the limousine on so beautiful an early summer day. But there was nothing else for it, James Bennett, senior, had the touring car and the chauffeur; the runabout was out of the question; and the electric, had a broken spring. Ther6 was shopping to do his mother and sister both said so, trag ically. Out came the limousines and with Jimmie, feeling like a taxicab driver, at the wheel, they sped off downtown bright and early in the morning Jimmie was lolling on the cushions opposite the famous hat shop which is near the union station. He amused himself by watching the rout of mo tors and people up and down the busy street. He also kept a patronizing eye on the suburban trains that shuttled back and forth behind the iron fence. And he nodded commendation when the Cosmopolitan limited breezed ma jestically Into the great station. The Cosmopolitan, with ponderous exhausts, was on its way again when a whirlwind of dainty skirts projected itself across the stone threshold of the station and headed for Jimmie. He straightened to attention when a pretty, pleading face was upturned to him. "I must catch that train," said the girl, hurriedly. "My aur.t's on it, with my ticket. I stepped off to get a book at. the station. Doesn't it stop again? Ill pay you double "Jump in here, beside me," com manded Jimmie. His mother and sister' were forgot ten as the car hitched around in the crowded thoroughfare and began to hum up Division street. Jimmie re membered that the big train always stopped 'at a junction quite across the city. There was no time to explain to his passenger that he was not run ning a taxi, even If he wanted to do so. Such an explanation was far from his desires. For tbV; passenger was the most charming girl he had seen in many a day. She was bareheaded and the air ruf fled her bright, crinky hair as it streamed past. The book she had left the train to buy was clasped In both hands. Excitement and rapid motion had whipped a wild rose tint into her cheeks. Jimmie could not decide from his hurried glances whether her eyes were blue or gray; but he knew they were large and eio ouentlv esmressive. She turned towaras mm: J. nere a another station. Isn't there? Will wa reach it in time?" "I don't know." returned Jimmie, "Whether we can make it or not." He Dressed down his foot hard, for there was an open space in the street there. A motorcycle policeman, chug ging toward them, slowly raised warning hand. Jimmie smiled, and pressed down again. The officer cir cled smartly and started in pursuit. The limousine did nobly. It attained a speed of which Jimmie did not believe it capable. He kept the horn going constantly. Horse drawn vehicles turned Into side streets, while other motors made way, hastily. Pedestrians crossing the street sought the walk with surprising- agility. It was the horn which nearly caused Jimmie's undoing. Another motorcycle officer looked back over his shoulder when he heard it. He saw the lunging car. and behind It the wildly-waving white-gloved hand of his pursuing col league. He stopped, dismounted, and threw his machine across the pave ment. He had chosen his stand well. To the left were the car tracks, and a line of approaching cars. To the right was the curb. The motorcycle, broadside on, seemed to block the path effectually. Jimmie's foot almost gave over lt3 pressure. Then his eyes gleamed and his jaws snapped. Hang on! he commanded tersely. The girl dropped the book in her lap witnout question and gripped con venient projections. Jimmie sounded the horn insistently. The policeman rerusea to buage. He still kept the com manding arm rigidly in the air. Ten yards from the officer Jimmie swerved to the right. The big car rose for a moment on two wheels. Then it hit the curb drunkenly, spurned the walk for a few feet and dropped back Into the roadway with a crashing of glass. The rear hub brushed the motorcvela tire as tne car snot past. The second outraged motorcyclist joined the first In pursuit. There were other incidents, more or less exciting, of that mad dash. Jimmie never slackened speed, for the stooping motorcycle policemen wern nklmtnins- uuggeuiy aiong oenina. But the limited, with nn obstruc tions in the way, had gone even fast er. As they swooped down toward the junction the train moved slowly away. j.ne gin gave a despairing little moan. -un, we've missed it!" she cried. "Not yet," encouraged Jimmy. ior in a flash of inspiration h ieit tnat tnere was one more chance. Ahead a few blocks the railroad tracks encroached on the street, oc cupying the left side of it for some distance. There was no fence or oth er obstruction between the pavement and the rails. They ran along paral lel. And the rear vestibule of the train was open. Jimmie's foot went down, urgently. The limousine drew ahi-ad of the train and gained the point where the railroad and street -joined. With a thankful heart, he noticed that the limited had not yet attained more than a fair momentum. Carefully he eased off. As the pilot of the engine crept tin beside him he shouted to the girl: The last vestibule s open. Dare you step from the car to the train? I'll keep close." "Yes!" she answered in his ear. Car after car of the -limited slid past. At last came the observation car, the rear vestibule still open. He edged over until the running board and the car step were a scant two feet apart. The speed of train and motor were Identical. "Now!" he shouted. She rose composedly, tossed her book into the vestibule, caught the brass handles of the car and stepped across. It was almost absurdly easy, for Jimmie's handling of the car was masterly. In two seconds she was safe aboard. As the scandalized face of the por ter appeared in the rear door of the Pullman Jimmie's passenger smiled on him radiantly. She screamed above the roar of the traint -"We'll be back In two weeks. Watch for us Mrs. Cordelia Malnwaring raised a formidable lorgnette. "So this is the young man who ran his cab over a policeman and chased peopli up lamp- post, to it?" she saW, "You seem to be an exponent of tn modern creed of 'get there, sir. "Yes, ma'am," said the blushing Mrs. Malnwaring continued her scrutiny. "You said be was handsome, Dorotny. a believe you were right, my dear "Auntie!" said the girl, blushing, too. "What is your name, young manr asa ed Mrs. Malnwaring. "James Bennett." The dowager lowered her lorgnetta in surprise. "Not a son of the great James 8inbelieve that's what they call him," smiled Jimmie. wni" .oiri -mm. Malnwaring. "Weill I flirted desperately with him thlrtyT years ago. And your mother was my bear friend until we went west. Is she in "Yes," said the eager Jimmie, "and Td like to have you go up there. You must be Mrs. Malnwaring. I've heard her speak of you often." "We are going," returned the dowager, with instant decison. "I Intended stop ping off merely to thank you, but I must see your people, now I m nere, James. But you surely don t drive s taxi?" Jimmie shook his head. "It was the limousine. Mother and my sister wante. to come downtown, and the other cars were In use or broken." This Is your car?" said Mrs. Maln waring, when they were outside the sta tion. "Dorothy, my dear, sit up there with Mr. Bennett. I like plenty of room. T When, as they sped decorously througn the streets, she noticed the way Jimmie leaned toward her niece; how his voice took on a tone confidential, almost caressing, as he spoke to her; how Dor othy glanced up responsively, stealing longer looks at the bronied. wholesome face when he was busy with tbe oar when she noticed all these things, the dowager nodded her crown of white hair, well pleased.

Hill Son was burned here this morning. The loss is estima ted at $20,000. Fire was first discover ed in a warehouse back of the store building at 4 o'clock. It quickly spread to the store building, however, and al though that structure was supposed to be fire proof, it was quickly consumed. Only the work of women and chil dren who assisted the men by carry' ing water saved adjoining buildings. The cause of the fire is unknown, as is the amount of insurance if there is anv.

Topeka Business College Men Discuss ing a jierger. v Although G. L. Moody, president of the Salt City Business college of Hutch inson, who has been working tor sev eral months in the interests of estab lishing a business college in Topeka which will represent the combined forces of the colleges now in existence in Topeka was turned down by the local college managers on the merger proposition, there is now a move on foot on the part of the heads of the Topeka schools to carry out such a merger on their own initiative. "There appears to be very little senti ment favorable to the support of any outside school in its proposal to estab lish itself here," said a business college man. "The successful enterprises of Topeka have been built up by Topeka people, and the general feeling is that the vigorous support of the institutions which have grown up here through the efforts of our own people, and helping1 to push forward their proposed organ ization, offers the best prospects for the development of a high class institu tion, that will be a credit to Topeka both in its magnitude and the quality of its instruction." "By merging the schools," said Geo. E. Dougherty, head of the Dougherty Business college, today, "we could pull unitedly in advertising Topeka as a school town as a place where there are the best possible facilities for pro curing a business education. "Then, furthermore, the results would be better. With the same expenditure of energy more could be accomplished. We are talking of a man to head the school who would be satisfactory to us and to the business men also." GIVEN SMALL VERDICT. 31. J. Hurwita Allowed $175 by Jury in iis.iriet court. A jury in Judge Dana's division of the district court this afternoon gave M. J. Hurwitz judgment for $175 and costs against Lester Davis and others for the injuries which Hurwitz sustained when he was struck by the Davis automobile. The accident occurred several months ago at rentn avenue and Harrison street. Hurwitz claimed that the chauffeur in charge of the machine was drunk and that he was driving the car on the wrong side of the street. Hurwitz was riding a bi cycle. The defense contended that Hur witz himself was on the wrong side of the street. They also denied the charge of the plaintiff that the automobile was exceeding the speed regulations at the time of the accident. The plaintiff was severely injured and was sent to a hospital by Davis. In his petition Hurwitz asked for $1,102, which included personal Injuries, loss of time, damage to his bicycle and the loss of a suit of clothes when he was hurled to the pavement. The jury believed $175 would cover the damage. OAPT. WATERS' BROTHER ILL. Few Outside Intimate Friends Knew It Until Today. Kansas City. Mo., May 11. Colonel Louis H.

Garlinghouse, carrier for rural route No. 6 from station A. on his new motor bicycle made a record Wednesday when he delivered the mail on his route of twenty-six miles in three hours and a half. He started from station A at 8 o'clock, the sched ule time for rural carriers to begin delivery, and was back at the office by 11:30 a. m.

Mr. Garlinghouse has had his motorcycle only a few days and the trip Wednesday is only i the third or fourth time he has used the "pop-pop bike." He is the only carrier on the North side who has this kind of a machine. However, it is said j that others from station A are seri Ously thinking of following suit. It is also said that the government en courages the rural route carriers to use the motor bicycles. I have heard of a man who car ried a rural route from the South side postoffice on a motorcycle," said A. E. Robinson, postmaster at station A, this morning. "I understand that by the use of this machine he saved enough time that he was able to work on a farm and finally pay for the property without touching a cent of his money from the government. 'The machines are a good thing for rural carriers, but of course they are better' adapted to the use of young men, as an old man would not De as safe with one as a young man." David Bowie of the Page Milling company this morning told of his be ing in the Empire theater, ixsinDurgn Scotland, which was destroyed by fire Tuesday night with the loss of sev eral lives. He attended a pantomime "Richard Whittington" when in the citv two years ago in January. "The building will seat about 2.000 people. I think." said Mr. Bowie "From January until March panto mimes are given by professional people assisted by the children of tne city The theater is of brick and stone. 'Richard Whittington and His Cat, a pantomime was given the evening I attended. The cat was impersonated by a man. Good music and clever acts, similiar to our vaudeville, were fea tures of the bill."

Gibson, retired, is dead at his home in Brooklyn from a comDli- cation of ailments. He was 72 years Old. Admiral Gibson entered the navy during the civil war. In 1830 he had the distinction of taking the Monon- ganeia irom San Francisco to New York under sail in 106 days, a record trip. He served in the Pacific during the Spanish war and was placed in command of the battleship Texas In COZY TO OPEN SUNDAY. Manager Says He Will Run Theater Then. Louis Johnson, manager of the Cozy moving picture house, says that he will run his show next Sunday. He says that if the attorney general couldn't stop the Sunday theaters in Leaven worth, Atchison and Kansas City, Kan., he doesn't see why the Topeka theaters should remain closed on Sunday. The managers of the other theaters seem to be disposed to wait and see what the result of Mr. Johnson's open ing on Sunday will be before taking any action in the matter. It is under stood that the Topeka theaters would have been opened last Sunday but the announcement that the state authori ties would close the, Sunday theaters In other cities where they were running, prevented the opening in Topeka. How ever, because of the failure to close the Sunday theaters, Mr. Johnson, for one, says that Topeka amusement places ought also to be immune. Meanwhile the other theater managers are wait ing on developments. is cnemicauy Derma Viva gives complexion, as fine skin.

They Are Suffocated by Smoke in a Burning Mine. Wllkesbarre, Mall 11. Five miners lost their lives by suffocation in the Boston mine of the Delaware and Hudson com pany at Larksville near here today. A strike began at the colliery on Tuesday and consequently only a small number of men were at work. Had the full force been engaged the loss of life would have been appalling. Fire broke out last night in a section of the mine where rock miners were employed, but It 1b said to have been gotten under control without difficulty. After midnight the odor of smoke was detected and another alarm was sound ed. Eleven men were at work In the section. All made their way from a side vein to the main gangway but the smoke had become so dense that nearly all were overcome. Rescue parties at the risk of their lives, then entered the workings and brought them out. The rescuers, re turning to the gangway, stumbled over bodies of the dead, which were brought out as quickly as possible. Several of the rescuers were overcome by the smoke and one of them was prostrated. He was rescued by another party. Tins SMOKE NOT ENJOYED. Match Scares Horse and Lister Falls on Man.
