I. C. C. DECISIONS. Effect of Holidays on Demurrage Rule Is Defined. Washington, May 17. Saturday afternoon when allowed as business half holiday must be considered ac cording to a decision today of the in terstate commerce commission as k part of the "free time" for loading or unloading shipments under the uni form demurrage rules. The decision was rendered in the case of the Com mercial exchange of Philadelphia against tne Pennsylvania railroad. The interstate commerce commis ion held that "no legal obligations rest upon an interstate carrier to counteract the result of natural condi tions by a reduction of its freight rates. The National Refining comuanv. an Independent oil producing concern of Ohio, operates a refinery at Findlay, Ohio. The exhaustion of the supply of crude petroleum near Findlay in duced it to develop oil wells at Flat Rock. Illinois. The crude oil is ship ped from Flat Rock to Findlay at a rate of 18V4 cents a hundred pounds, which the .refining company urged is excessive. In holding that the rate was reasonable the commission says that "the exhaustion of the supply of raw material near at hand must soon er or later be experienced by every manufacturing enterprise of this na ture." BIDS UP COTTON. Bull lender Calls for 100.000 Bales at Above Market, New Orleans, May 17. Sensational bids at the market for 100.000 bales pach of May and July cotton and of fers of one-eighth over exchange quo tations for any or all of the spot cot ton In New Orleans startled the cot ton market here today. The bids were offered by Frank B. Hayne, the bull leader, and he added to his challenge by declaring the bid for spots over the market price was open all day and covered anything from low ordinary grade to fair. Bear leaders scrambled into the ring, but they looked gingerly before leaping into the fray offered by the bull chief. One house gave him 800 lifttM of Ma v on Kiii v bales. Hayne yelled for more, but none ouerea. un tnio transaction Hayne paid $1.10 a bale more than the cotton exchange quotations said pots were worth. Hjgme's bidding had a sympathetic I 55 I if V 1 WEDNESDAY. EVENING. effect on the entire market and at noon futures were 8 to 9 points over yesterday's closing quotations. Even after May had advanced to $15.70 Hayne shouted an offer for 70,000 bales of May at that figure. TAFT HAS A GROUCH. The President Airs 111 Humor at Jew- ish Temple. Washington, May 17. Washington was discussing with a good deal of zest today some references made by Presi dent Taft in a speech at the Jewish temple here last night "to small headed men" In prominent clubs who display their "greatness" by blackballing men of importance proposed for member ship. The president's references were taken to apply directly to the recent exclusion from a club in this city of a prominent New York congressman and several newly elected senators. The congress man in question Is a particular friend Of the president. In his speech the president said: "I believe, and I am proud of the fact, that the Jews in America enjoy an equality that they have In only a few THE REBEL CABINET. other countries of the world. I do not mean to say that there are not racial prejudices here; I don't mean to say that there are no social clubs and other places where the small-headed men who occasionally get into a directory manifest their greatness by using a black ball and shutting out men of im portance in the community, but my friends, while It is aggrevating and ex asperating still it Is not the worst thing: that could happen. I have had it hap pen to friends of mine Gentiles who have been kept out of clubs by people who are not worthy to button their shoes and who have no standing save in clubs. It is aggravating, I agree, but a man Is what he la by reason of his respect for himself, and if he knows that some one who affects to snub him and look down on him is not worthy if he knows that person is not his equal and if he cultivates any of the philosophy that he ought to call to his aid he will have the advantage over his small-brained and narrow-minded critic always." HOBSON'S ROAD BILL It Provides for the Location of Two Auto Transcontinental Highways. Washington, May 17. A bill providing for two national auto highways was Introduced today by Representative Hobson. It authorizes the appointment of two commissions, one a highway to exiena irom tne Atlantic to the Pacific ocean along the 35th parallel of north imiiuuB, me omer to extend trom Canada to Mexico on a line near the 23rrt TriArtrilan mats r iilov i v i ii rr ooiuugwiii These highways, the bill provides shall Knuwn respectively as the national east-west automobile highway and the national north-south antnmobilo hicr- way.

FOR RAILROAD MEN. Monument to Late J. E. Hurley Is Planned. Children's Playgrounds, Base ball and Football Fields. Topeka is to have a "Hurley park" in the eastern section of Topeka. This park will be located just south of the Santa Fe shop district and east of the street car line to the shops be- fore It leads up to the viaduct. There is at this place a large grove of big trees bordered by Shunganunga creek. It is understood that the city will purchase the land for park purposes and the Santa Fe both as a road and among the employees will erect a mag nificent monument in the .park to the late J. E. Hurley, who was general manager of the road in Topeka until his death last summer. The officials of the Santa Fe and the city commissioners will hold a con ference soon to decide just what ac tion shall be taken to procure this park site and what Improvements will be made. At this time the officials of the Santa Fe are planning a big monument to Mr. Hurley and it is hoped that they may be influenced to place the monu ment in this park. Other funds from the road and Its employees will be used to make improvements in the park that may be appreciated by railroad men. It is known that if James E. Hurley had his wish in the matter something for the bent of his railroad men would be preferred. The park will be made a resting place and a picnic grounds for railroad men, especially. The creek will be widened and dammed, the park will be benched and every convenience will be provided for out door recreation. The matter of establishing a park for part of the city was first suggested by Commissioner -Miller through the col umns of the State Journal last fall. The city didn't have the money for the purpose at that time and it was post poned until this spring. Now others have become Interested in the improve ment and the railroad men of Topeka have figured seriously on the proposi tion with the city. Tennis courts, baseball and football grounds, and smaller out door games will be accommodated In the park. "Hurley Park" has been suggested and approved as the fitting name. DOUBTFUL' VICTORY. Standard Decision Will Make Trust Question Jjoom Larger Than Ever. Toronto, Ont.. May 17. William J. Bryan, here on a lecture tour, said re garding the Standard Oil decision: "This decision la likely to make the trust question more of an issue than It has been in recent years. While on the face of it the decision seems a victory for the government, it virtually amends the anti-trust law by constru ing it to prohibit, not all restraint of trade, but only such restraint as the courts, after each lengthy litigation. may aeciae to te unreasonable." WOLGAST STARTS TRAINING. Betting on Bout With Burns Favor Ad 10 to 6. San Francisco, May 17. Ad Wol gast, lightweight champion, arrived yesterday from Los Angeles to put the finishing touches on his training for his twenty round fight here on May 27 with Frankie Burns. Betting Commis sioner Tom Corbett announced last night that odds of 10 to 6 had been offered on the result, with Wolgast the favorite. TOPEKA, KANSAS, MAY WANT MILLION The Treasury Officials Send Out 77 Mail Bags Filled With Invitations to the Public to Shell Out. ONE FOR EVERY RANK. Offers as Low as $100 Will Be Accepted. The Bonds Will Bear Three Per Cent Interest. Washington, May 17. Seventy seven mail bags filled with Invitations to the public to bid for Uncle Sam's new bonds left Washington today. Every one of the 23,000 national banks, state banks and trust companies of which the treasury has record will receive one of the official circulars and Dladlng slips. The man who wants to lend $100, $500, $1,000 or more to the govern ment at 3 per cent Interest can learn all the particulars by dropping around t" see his banker. To make the new $50,000,000 loan as popular as possible; the treasury will accept ordlnanry checks payable through clearing house cities, and pos tal orders in payment. The small bid ders will receive first attention, which will make it possible for the Individual Investor to deal directly with the gov ernment instead of with a 'bond dealer. It probably will be six weeks before the successful. bidders are announced. The price they will pay for the new securities is a conjecture, but the esti mates put it some where between par and 103. By this issue of $50,000,000 Uncle Sam will -owe his people about $963,000,000 uponf which various rates of interest are paid. The money from the new Issue will be used partly to reimburse the treasury for money it has advanced to the Panama canal. SEEKS TpBE FREE Geo. W. Clark Held as an Insane Criminal Sues for Freedom. Claims That Law Doesn't Apply in Ills Case. Anna Clark today applied to the su preme court for a writ of habeas cor- DUS tO Sret hnohaml rf UT Clark, out of tbehf btltal for the crimi nal lii&aue ai ljansaig prison. The law relating to the custody of criminal in sane THTSOrQ rtK'H Yv tha loci- 1 lature is involved in thia ciark was convicted In the Kearney county district .court a year ago for the murder of Ezra Carter. It was proved to the satisfaction of the court mat jic wan insane at tne time he com mitted the crime, so he was sent to the State nri&On hnsartital nnn- K 1911, which provides that criminal in- oaua persons snail De confined to the prison hospital instead of the ordinary state hospital for the insane. The writ-relntts that rurb- v IV 4Ils i c covered his sanity and is therefore en titled to his freedom. The argument made in the application for the writ is that Clark committed the crime for wmv;u iie is paying tne penalty before the laW t h II t nlflOAd him in T i ii HOI lift was enacted. In other words his act was made evil after it had been com- The application relates further that the probate, and not tho Hieti.i- should have passed upon this case. j.ne state win- resist the application for the writ, taking the stand that the legislature had the right to make the law apply to an act already commit ted if it so desired: Had Clark, under the ordinary pro cess of the old law, been confined to a state hospital for the insane, he could be discharged from the custody of the hospital authorities in regular form without procedure ujon presen tation of proof that he had been cured. But getting him out of a hospital for the criminal insane is a more difficult matter, even though he be cured of his madness. The supreme court has this power, or the executive department. The case of Harry Thaw, confined to the Matteawan hospital in New Tork for the criminal insane is a case in point. All efforts so far to get the slayer of Stanford White out of this institution have been unavailing. FORTUNE TO HIS NURSE. Walter Duryoa Iicaves Her $1,500,000 for Her Services. New York. May 17. By the will of Walter Duryea, the crippled athlete and broker, the bulk of his fortune es timated at $2,500,000 goes to Miss Elea nor Pergrine, a trained nurse, who acted as his housekeeper for the last 12 years of his life. She is given $50,000 outright. $30,000 In trust, a house in Montclair, N. J., and all the residue of the estate after certain legacies have been paid. Her total share Is thought to be worth $1,500,000. Walter Duryea broke his back in div ing. In August, 1899. He spent the rest of his life in a harness but managed his affairs with great shrewdness. AERO TAXI READY SOON. Swiss Will Enjoy First; Rides in Novel Conveyance. New York, May 17. The first aero taxi will be put into service in a week or two at Lucerne, Switzerland, ac cording to advices received by the Aero club. A French company Is the builder of the novel machine, which Is a biplane fitted with a "wind mill" taximeter. Passengers will be carried on short cross country Mights at a fixed rate per kilometer. Enthusiasts calculate that the aero taxi will ultimately become-- a far cheaper conveyance than the street taxicab, owing to the be line route it will be able to follow in the air, where, furthermore, there will probably be no trouble, owing to congested traffic for some thee to come. 17, 1SU1. POLITICAKOSSIP. Billy Morgan Says He Is in Fav or of Harmony. Eren Accept Capper for Gover nor "If He Acts Half White." LET 'EM FIGHT IT OUT. Osborne. Farmer Wants Senato rial Contest in 16-Foot Ring. Ottawa Telegram Objects to Mayor Billard's Candidacy. The Hutchinson News, edited by "Billy" Morgan, may be regarded as th orean of the regular wing of the Republican party in Kansas. In an edi torial in its last issue the JNews ae- clares that a square deal in the party county will insure harmony in the next campaign. Capper, the progressive edi tor, is an acceptable candidate to Mor gan, the regular editor, proviaea ne "acts half white." Mr. Morgan believes that the predigested platform cooked up by the last party council was more responsible for Stubbs' close shave at the polls than anything else. 'With a fair and open party council," declares the News, "Mr. Capper, or any other Republican candidate can ask the support of the entire party. The Osborne Farmer fails in line with the fast growing idea among Re publican leaders that the best thing to dn is to keen hands off tne senatorial fight between Stubbs and Curtis and save the state government to tne P. "Put the senatorial candidates in a sixteen-foot ring and let them fight it out," urges the Farmer, "and then the whole state need, not be involved in a brawL The winner will have to go be fore the people on a direct vote with a majority behind him in the primary." The plan to keep the state and sena torial fights apart looks good on paper and would surely save the state ticket. The arguments in its favor are prac tical and logical. But it will be hard to do. Curtis stands for the old; Stubbs for the new. Both are men of strong personality and a large personal fol lowing. A political fight engenders suspicion and gossip and dissension. The motives of the candidates' friends will be questioned. As the fight waxes warm coats and collars will be shed and there may be lambasting Instead of practical arguments. t But nothing was ever gained by pessimistic prophecies and forebodings. The present plans of the party leaders are the best thing for the party without a doubt. They have made greater head way .towards peace in the state campaign than was thought possible four months ago. If they work out to a finish the Republicans of Kansas .will have seen the f inest;. fight since the year one. and yet saved the state by peaceful methods at the same time. The impossible is accomplished every day In business and science, maybe it can be accomplished in politics. The Ottawa Telegram is not strong for Mayor Billard of Topeka for gover nor. The Telegram thinks that the To peka mayor, if nominated, would not be able to poll the strength of his party. But the mayor's friends argue that his advent in the state campaign on a re submission platform would eliminate party lines entirely. They' think he would receive as many Republican as Democratic votes and point to his To peka campaigns for proof. The Tele- srram says: "The talk about Mayor 'Billard, of Topeka. as a Democratic candidate for governor Is found only in Republican newspapers. Billard is a good man in many ways, a much better executive than he is given credit for. Delng out side of Topeka, but he would be im possible as a Democratic candidate for governor, ills attituae on tne proniDi torv law Is not sanctioned by one Dem ocrat in five, and he could not poll more than three-nrths of the Demo cratic vote even should he be nomina ted, which is entirely out of the ques tion. It is an idle waste of time to discuss Mayor Billard in connection with Democratic state politics." STOCKS GO ON UP. Boom Started by Standard Oil Deci sion Continues. New York, May 17. The upward movement in stocks which set In as a result of the decision of the Standard Oil case was resumed today although in less spectacular manner than yes terday. Trading up to noon was heavy and the demand broad. In some quar ters there was a disposition to attrib ute today's gains to a series of bull drives against the short interests. U. S. Steel was again the market leader and touched 80. its highest point since last February shortly before noon. Reading and other active issues more than held their gains of yesterday, especially U. P.. passing 183 at mid day. Rumors of important financing by the Harriman roads persist although denied in omciai circles. Weather Is Still Hot. It is still hot and rain does not seem to be near. "It will be the same thing over without a change in program, was "Sunny" Flora's manner of ex pressing himself in speaking of the indications for tomorrow. "We have risked out reputation," he continued, "trying to get some cooler weather here, but we have now given up. There is a warm wind blowing 20 miles an hour from the south. No records have been broken today. Four years ago on this date the mercury went up to 94 degrees, although it might be men tioned that it was 14 degrees above normal at 2 oclock today. The month thus far has been one of the warmest and driest on record."

Hardle, an amateur aviator, was killed at Do- mingues field today while trying out an aeroplane. Hardle came here recently from Ohio ana had made several sue cessful flights. Hardle, who was about 30 years old, had a biplane built at the aviation camp and: made his first flight WEDNESDAY EVENING. yesterday. Against the advice of his instructor Hardle went up again today and when at a height of about 100 feet, lost control of the machine and plunged to the ground. His body, was badly mangled.

The irrepres sible American interviewer has suc ceeded at last In talking with the Dalai Lama of Thibet, generally re garded as the most unapproachable being in the world. Very few men of white skin have ever seen him and countless thousands of his followers hold him to be a deity. The first in terview ever obtained with him will be published here this week by the Continent, a Presbyterian denomina tional journal. Its traveling representative, William T. Ellis of Philadelphia, met the Lama in the village of Darjeeling, beneath the Himalayan snows, where he Is exiled in asvlum prepared for him by the British. "The.Lama Is not an impressive In dividual in appearance," writes the in terviewer. "His face is pock marked and his ears are large and curiously shaped. His moustache is waxed hori zontally. His head is bullet shaped. He has a hobby for cleanliness unusual in these reerions. He eats irom a golden bowl and sleeps between spot less sheets of satin." Of the thines the Lama had to taut about, the item that most impressed his interviewer was a statement that he intended, upon his return to Thibet, to sned many of his young men to America for a western education. The Japanese and Chinese example in this regard had Impressed him very much and he declared that It could be fol lowed by the people of Thibet with great advantage. lie also .proposed uirl inwn emu even the Sacred City of Lhasa itself should be thrown open to the com merce of the world and tne ancient policy of seclusion abandoned. He de clared that Buddhism as a religion. was superior to cjnnstianity, ana prophesied that in four hundred years all mankind will be enrolled in- a Buddhist fellowship. NEW MAP MAKES RECORD.

GRANT J0 TEXAS WiU Succeed Carter in Com mand of Maneuver Army. War Department Plans to Give All a Chance. A LONG STAT AHEAD Occupation of Territory Along the Border of Mexico Probably Will Be Continued Until Next Winter. Washington, May 17. Major General Frederick D. Grant soon will succeed Major General Carter as commander of the maneuver division of the army in Texas. Secretary of War Dickinson has selected General Grant for this duty but as the change will not taka place until after Henry L. Stlmson becomes secretary of war the assign ment will of course be subject to his approval. The purpose of the war department is to afford an opportunity to command) the division to as many general offi cers of high rank as possible during the meneuvers, which It is said now. probably will continue until next win ter. General Carter has done splendid work, the department officials declare. In mobilizing the forces and getting tnem in condition for field work which is now beginning. The change probably will not be made until conditions in Mexico become less acute than at pres ent. DEBATE ON STATEHOOD. Indications That It Will Be Prolonged for Several Days. Washington, May 17. Debate In the house on the joint statehood reso lution to admit Arizona and New Mexico continued today, with the pros pect that the discussion would not be terminated before tomorrow night. Be fore the debate began, however, there was considerable informal discussion on the Democratic side over the action of the rules committee In moving the adoption of the sugar trust resolution of inquiry and nominating the special committee. The house adjourned yesterday while the Democrats were fighting on this question, many demanding a cau cus to eelect the committee. Chair man Henry of the rules committee was ready today to take up the question with possible modifications of the plan of choofrrflg" the -committee; Demo cratic leaders who had hoped to dis pose Of statehood in two days at most were surprised to learn that so many on both sides wished to speak. The amendment requiring the people of Arizona to vote again on the recall of the Judiciary Is the chief subject of discussion on hand, while many Re publicans oppose resubmitting the con stitution of New Mexico with a pro posed amendment because Arizona is held back. Democrat members of the ways and means committee resumed considera tion of the woolen schedule of th tariff bill. At the meeting Monday one member referred to the delibera tions as a "study class In wooL" The members were given long lists of fig- ures bearing on importations and rev enues derived from wool. PACKERS TAKE HEART. They Are Encouraged by Supreme) Court's Oil Decision. Chicago. May 17. On the grounds that the federal supreme court's stand ard OH decision overrules United States District Judge Carpenter's decision of May 12 on the beef packers cases here, attorneys for the packers today filed motion for permission to appear and reargue the demurrers which Judge Carpenter overruled. The whole matter again Is hung on the question of what is "reasonable" and what is "unreasonable" restraint of trade. It was the supreme court's dictum that In effect the word "un reasonable" must be read into the Sherman anti-trust law which gave the beef attorneys their excuse for request to reopen the demurrer argument. The attorneys included that argu ment when they presented their de murrers, in what they claim Is almost the identical language of the supreme court's Standard Oil decision, but tha court held against this reasoning. They now appear to ask the court to admit It erred, in the light of such application to the case as the oil decision may have. ADVERTISING TALKS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN THE REGAL SHOE COM PANY has given us all a new idea in advertising;, which, thus far, has proved to be TREMEN DOUSLY RESULTFUL to them. Advertisements have appear ed in newspapers in cities where the Regal Company operates its own stores telling: the public of its plan of selling: shoes at a NET PROFIT OF FIVE PER CENT., a small enough net pro fit on which to. do business. One of the advertisements printed gave in detail the cost of all parts of a shoe, and then added the cost of selling get ting down to FRACTIONS OF A CENT, and then giving the total cost.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOTJRNAL-WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 17,1911. KAVS DROP ONE. Omaha Stops Alleged "Winning Streak" in Early Infancy. Bourke'g Sterlings Romp Away With 8 to 2 Score. SCHOONOVER DOES IT. lilts Ball Hard and Often and Team Mates Follow. Poor Playing Behind Clark Helps Yisitors Win. It was too "Dusty" at the ball yard Tuesday for the Kawi to do good work and all Rhoades led to Omaha. There Is less perspicacity than truth in that ment but the score was 8 to 2. the Kaws being left at the quarter stretch. Manager Mooro Could Not See That Rhodes Had Anything on Him In. Knot. He Quite Ignored the Terrific Wallop. The stride, heretofore referred to as that into which the Kaws would step, seems to have been only three games lone. The team was as much over confident as it was underconfident last week. The real trouble, however, was in the supposition that the Oraahogs had no pitcher. Rhodes amply dispell ed this delusion. Touni Mr. Clark was chosen by Moore to hand Omaha the second bit ter nill but he couldn't Ret It across. He started magnificently enough by striking out three In the first Inning. But in the same, Williams, recently a Brown, forbode the Impending dlsas ter in a three bagger. First Squall in Second. The second brought the first squall in the storm of hits. Schoonover tri pled and scored on a single by Kneaves. Perhaps Schoonover was unaccustom ed to the swatting proclivities he sud denly developed. Anyhow when he doubled in the fourth, he assayed to tiang up a run on his own account ana ran to third, drawing a bad peg by Hawkins. Hafford could not stop the throw but Hopke gathered it in and heaving home, cut of! the run. Again in the seventh it was School over who started things with a sin gle.

Schoonover went out to Whitney un assisted and Kneaves walked. He start ed a steal and Clark whipped to first. King dashed for home but was caught on Whitney's peg. Agnew flew out foul to Hawkins. WONDER Thomason Had a Real Grievance With Umpire Morgan. With four runs to cover, the Kaws who up to this tkme had only one hit off the dusty one, began to rally round the totem pole and with one down Clark led out with a smart single. Rickett, to retrieve himself, slammed a double to left center, scoring Clark. Haftord followed with another single and Rickert scored. There was a pre vailing hunch around the stands that the Kaws were Just arriving and would come in hordes but Thomason and Whitney flew out and the rally fizzled. Kaws Were "Done." That was all the Kaws could do during the entire afternoon. The Omahogs, just to make victory clean cut, hung up four more in the ninth. Morgan, erstwhile umps of the three sacks, lent aid to the attacking party by calling Pick safe on a late throw by Hopke. Kane singled and the two employed a double steal. Williams was walked. The bases were full and no one out. It was the psychological mo ment for a hit though the Omahogs already had a plenty. Neihoff delivered the timely hit only he made it a three bag variety ana cleaned off the bases, He counted the fourth run on a sin gle by King who was next up. King Clay Clark, Xate of St. Paul Had Holes in I'neir liats tor Awmie. The Kaws tried hard to get their heads up In the ninth but could not locate first. Their one other good chance was presented In the fifth. Moore was hit on the head by Rhodes. The little manager ran on down to first as if he never was touched but it took several seconds there to bring him around. He made second on a passed ball. Then Pick let .Hawkins on by error. Clark sacrificed and was out. Rickert hit fast to Neihoff but the latter was ready for the emergency and got it to Kane in good season. Clark's sup-port was bad at times. Several long hits were counted which never should have been hits and the Infield could not get the hooks in the right channels. The score: TOPEKA. Players AB. R. H. P. A. E.

A shoe which cost $4.00 to produce, inducling the propor tion charged up to shipping, rent, light, heat, clerks EVERYTHING is sold to the consumer for $4.20, the 20 cents added being 5 of the total cost. The selling of a shoe at $4.20, or $3.35, or $5.45 is a novelty in shoe-pricing. Prices usually run on the even amounts $3.50, $4, and so on. The Regal Company operated successfully, for many years, es tablishing its prices in the old, regulation way but it now up sets shoe traditions and starts all over again with a NEW policy. I am told that the second week after the advertising started, the Company did a GREATER BUSINESS than it ever did in its history in one week's time. The experiment is being watched eagerly all over the country, and if it continues to work out as well as it has done to date, other companies will adopt the same plan.

BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP. The them. After all, the ball player is in the role of an entertainer and if he fails to attract an audience, what's his holler? The late Mr. Leak, some time before his Western league demise, circulated his worthy opinion to the effect that Heine Katz ought to play second. Where are Mr. Leak and Mr, Katz? Thomason beat one down to first with a safe margin, but Morgan couldn't see it that way and it was the second out. Thusly to the bad went one of the innings. Jack Holland has sold Catcher Co to the Galveston club of the Texas league. Al Leak will knock his hands off for him. Gus Williams, Rourke's right fielder In yesterday's game was a St. Louis Brown recruit this spring. He broke in at Monmouth, 111., and is an Omaha boy. St. Joseph Gazette: There are a great many people in St. Joseph who are prone to criticise Barney Reilly, the Drummers-' second sacker, but if these same people only knew it, this fellow Is one of the mainstays of the St. Joseph team. True, his fielding this spring has not been wonderful, but it has been as good as that of the average second baseman in the league. And where in this league or any other of the same class can you get a second sacker who can hit the ball and run bases like Reilly can? There Isn't a more dependable and heady player on the Drummer team. Barney has it on any player in the league for running nases. Ana it is not ail in his sped, either. It is the way- he gets away from a base and into the next one. The people who are criticising Reilly would do well to rest on their oars a short time and watch the Drummer second sacker closely. He will show them a few things about hitting the ball and running bases. Dont Forget. Chl-Namel demonstration. May 17 to 20. C. M. Hill, 826 Kansas avenue. Where They Play Friday.

The mat-! ter of dropping it is nothing, as they probably would have got the runs any how. And the umpire robbed you of two safe hits at least. You could not be expected to hit at a third strike when it wasn't over. Just because the umpire called you out does not figure in the least." And did you ever see a satisfied ball player? Yes then he was kidding you. No then he as himself.

Based upon these two fact we hop6 to make this short talk of special interest to all persons who are afflicted wjth an old sore or chronic ulcer. If in presenting the merits of S.S. S. as acura for these troubles, our line of reasoning appeals to you.it will be an easy matter to prove the truthfulness of our statements by sending you a free book containing many testimonials from persons in every part of the country who have been cured of an old sore or cnronic uicer Dy tne use ot a. d. i. Whenever a sore or ulcer becomes chronic or refuses to heal it is because of bad blood; the healing qualities of the circulation have been weakened by impurities or poisons in this vital fluid. The blood is the great source of nourishment for all flesh tissues As it constantly circulates throughout the system it carries the necessary nutrient properties to every portion of the body. It is because of this continual replenishment that the flesh remains firm and healthy and free from disease. Since the blood exercises such an important and necessary function we can easily understand why impurities or poisons in this vital fluid so often infect and disease the flesh at some particular spot, and by continually discharging impurities into it cause the forma tion of old sores or chronic ulcers. Every symptom of an old sore sup-r?sts rliRMsrl hinnA Tk- inflammation, discharge, discolored flesh, and the fact that external applications never have any curative effect on these places, show that deep down in the circulation there is a morbid cause that prevents the place from healing. But more convincing proof that bad blood is responsible for old sores is furnished by the fact that even removine every visible trace of the ulcer by surgical operation, does not cure. THEY ALWAYS RETURN. Only by cleansing the blood of the poisonous cause can an old sore be Cured. S. S. S. heals them by going down nto the circulation and removing the cause from the blood. When this has been done there is no longer left any inflammatory impurity or infectious matter to irritate the place, and nature causes the natural and perma nent healing of the ulcer. When S. S. S. has purified the blood and the place is once more nour ished with pure, rich blood, then every symptom disappears, and it is not a surface cure, but the place is firmly and solidly healed from the bottom to the outer skin. S. S. S. is recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, and therein lies its ability to cure old sores. It is purely vegetable, containing no mineral in any form, and its fine tonic effects are always helpful in overcoming the impure systemic effects of an old sore. Forty years of cures is the record of S. S. S., and what it has done in thousands of cases we feel perfectly safe in saying it will do in your case if you are afflicted with an did sore. We have a special treatise on Old Sores which we will be glad to send free to all who desire it. It contains the statements of many wit nesses as to the efft:acy of S. S. S., some of whom you may know. We will also be glad to send free any special medical advice you desire.! THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. CURED MAN AND WIFE.

ARM FORTHE WAR Kansas Equal Suffragists Gird on Their Armor. Choose Mrs. W. A. Johnston, of Topeka, President. MEJf PLEDGE HELP John MacDonald Makes a Flea for the Cause. Chief Justice Johnston Says Day of Equality Is Here. Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Topeka, presi dent. Mrs. W. R. Stubbs, Topeka, first vice president. Mrs. Cora Wellhouse Bullard, Ton ganoxie, second vice president. Miss Helen Eacker, I.awrence, sec retary. Mra S. A. Thurston, Topeka, treas urer. Mrs. William Allen White, Emporia, auditor. These are the women who are to head the suffragists in the next year. They were chosen late Tuesday after noon at a meeting of prominent work ers held in Representative hall. The district presidents chosen are as fol lows: First district, Mrs. Cora Well house bullard of Tonganoxie; Second district, Mrs. G. H. Chalkley of Law rence; Third district, Mrs. Albright of Winfield: Fourth district. Mrs. A. C. Worcester of Emporia; Fifth district, Mrs. Matie Toothaker Kimball of Manhattan; Sixth district Mrs. Annie C. A. Waite of Lincoln, Kan.; Seventh district, Mrs. W. T. Morgan of Hutch inson, and Eighth district. Mrs. Nannie Garrett of Wichita, Kan. Mrs. Johns ton, the president, will appoint her ad visory board. The business meeting was not at all times as harmonious as it might have been; in fact, trouble has been brew ing in the organization for some months. Everybody talked and at one time one woman asked: "Is there a motion before the uouse?" "I do not know," replied Mrs. C. A. Hoffman, president of the association, warmly. "There is so much confusion and so many people talk at once that I can not understand what any of you say. Order, please." Fuss Over Constitution. The excitement was aroused over the fact that for no short period of time the association has been working without a constitution or with, no copy other than one which has been pre served in a paper by the- State Histor ical society. The original copy was lost long ago, but Just found. Sev eral times questions have come up which have ail but disrupted the or ganization because there was no copy of the constitution immediately avail able. The main bone of contention at this particular meeting was caused by sec tion 3 of the new constitution, which it was proposed to adopt. This sec tion provided for a fifty-cent member ship fee and was backed by the fac tion that came into power. The op posing forces, headed by Mrs. Lila Day Monroe of Topeka, wanted to let the admission price remain the same as in the past one dollar. It was Mrs. Ellen Humphreys who moved that a new constitution be adopted. "We need to enlist the sym pathy of every person in the state." said Mrs. W. A. Johnston, the president elect. "We had .better have twice as many members at 50 cents than half as many at one dollar." Mrs. Monroe was of the opinion that it would be difficult to get enough money to finance the work of the association if the fee were cut in two. When the vote was taken it stood 39 in favor and 28 against the B0 cent fee. Men Do the Talking.

Loveland and Dr. Frank Strong, chancellor of the state university, were unable to be present. However, some good substitutes were provided, and the suffrage cause was given a great boost by Dave Leahy, George W. Mar tin, Chief Justice W. A. Johnston, and others. John MacDonald, editor of the West ern School Journal, who was on the original program, was the first speaker. "I am becoming more enthusiastic over equal suffrage every year," he said. "The grreat majority of the women's votes are cast at local elections in such a way as to tend towards the uplift of the home and other things that are good. "Out of the 105 county school super intendents in Kansas, 49 of them are women. The men of Kansas think the women are quite capable of superin tending county schools in the state, yet they will not allow them to vote. At least two-thirds of the teachers in Kan sas are women. It pains me to know that any state is allowed to go ahead of us in advancement. "In 1912 the suffrage amendment will be submitted to the voters under the most favorable conditions Republi cans. Democrats, Populists, and Social ists will support it." Chief Justice Johnston Speaks. "Ladies and gentlemen I wish I could say fellow citizens to all of you," said Chief Justice Johnson in an in troduction to his talk. "I'm glad that I can count it a compliment to be call ed a friend of the women. I want to be counted as being in favor of the women and the enfranchisement of the women. "I believe that the prejudice against women has largely passed away in Kansas. This feeling came from bar barous times when the men looked down upon the women. Now. men recognize that the success of govern ment is a success of mankind and not of any individual sex. "In November, 1912, I believe the men will vote for the women. It is j time to quit talking about the men s rights and the women's rights time to talk of equality. Men of Kansas have always been generous towards women except in respect to suffrage. The laws of the state are very favor able towards women. But they haven t denied suffrage on account of a lack of chivalry. "The theory has been that In poll tics there is so much grime and dust that women might become injured, but we have found that women clean up politics, and their presence at the polls brings about a better order of things." Senator S. M. Brewster was called upon for a speech, but he would not acknowledge the call from the chair, which resulted in indignation on the part of the women. "Ton folks have got to get some politics In you to win," said George W. Martin. "Organize counties and town ships and get after them." "I think the suffrage question is easy," said Dave Leahy, who was the next speaker called upon by Mrs. C. A. Hoffman, retiring president, who pre sided over the meeting. "I think that suffrage will win by 40,000 majority. There is no argument against the equal suffrage proposition." Mrs. Lillian A. Mitchner, president of the Kansas W. C. T. TJ., pledged 9,000 members of the organization which she heads to the support of the suffrage cause. "I believe that suffrage will win, said Mrs. Ella G. Burton, "but it will take a great deal of hard work. Let us sink every other interest and be true to our conviction." The new offi cers made short talks which were to the point.

The- State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sola pur pose. Peace Is reported to be In Bight again !n Mexico. But In all probability It is being seen through smoked glasses. A feeling of wonderful relief must have coma to President Taft's mind. Qlfford Pinch ot has commended the ap pointment of Mr. Stimson to be secre tary of war. It appears that feminine hats In Colonial days were even larger thaa the biggest ones of today. But then there was more room for them In those days of long ago. That universal peace Is making some progress nowadays Is evidenced by the armistice which has been declared be tween the lady mayor and the council men of Hunewell, Kansas. Twenty-eight state senators In 1111- mnt vo an idea that they are like unto as many Hercules. They have started a movement to clean up the Republican party In that state. Topeka is also becoming a center where there Is plenty of home capital for 1-westment purposes. It was To peka money that took over the entire $125,000 city bond Issue that was floated recently by the city commissioners. Hermoslllo, the capital of the state of Sonora, has been captured by the Mex ican rebels. Their first act should be to rearrange its name. In its present form it looks too much like the name of a hair shampoo or tonic. As to how it sounds, only a native Mexican knows. Out here In Kansas! The combined ages of the host and eight of the guests at a party given by him in Topeka a. few days ago totaled 738 years, or an average age for each of the nine of 82 years. And all of them are as lively as a bunch of young kittens. Under a decision made the other day by the supreme court of the United States, the Indian is still held to be inferior to the white man. And yet, an Indian brought suit against a railroad company not so long ago to collect $260,000 in damages for the loss of one eye, which was put out by a cinder. It Is to be hoped that Governor Stubbs will take the trouble to make a speech to the National Association of Manufacturers and Business Men, that organization which is chiefly engaged In a campaign to resubmit the prohibi tion question to the voters of Kansas. That would be a speech worth hearing. And now comes the harem bathing suit.' In other words the lady bathers who are up to snuff in fashions will substitute a short trouser effect this summer for the skirts that have been popular heretofore. But this new style will not trouble the women of Kansas very much. The seaside and bathing resorts around here are corfsplcuoua by their absence. Governor Wilson of New Jersey Is quite right when he says that men shrug their shoulders at the mention of party platforms. And they cannot be blamed for so doing, either. Ex perience has taught them that the promises in party platforms which are fulfilled to the letter are so few and far between that they are scarcely worth reckoning. It was suggested in these columns that the presentation of gold medals to Andrew Carnegie would become im mensely popular In view of the fact that when the Pan-American union gave him one, he reciprocated with a gift of $100,000 in cash. It turns out. however, that this particular medal cost $3,000. This makes the risk quite an expensive one. This Is reported to be the banner year In the automobile industry In this country. Indications are that more machines will be sold this year than there have been In any other twelve months. And among other things, this will necessitate that pedestrians step more cautiously and livelier than ever when they get up sufficient cour age to cross the streets. It appears that the Topeka ball team has come to the turn in the long road. A little luck seems to be breaking with them. They won a game handily re cently in which they made only six hits to their opponents' nine. But the To peka hits came when they were most opportune. During the first weeks of the season all of this kind of luck went to the teams Topeka was playing. THE PEOPLE TRIUMPH. After five long years of litigation the supreme court of the United States has decided that the Standard OU company of New Jersey Is a monopoly In the restraint of trade. It must be dissolved. The victory for the gov ernment and Its people Is a great one. The authority of the law to deal with corporations that become menacing to the industrial and economlo ad vancement of the nation has been sus tained. Nor has a panic in the business world resulted. During the progress of this suit many alarmists insisted that should the supreme court decide against the Standard Oil company, the industrial progress of the nation, brought about as It has been been to a large extent by .the application of huge combinations of capital in va rious lines of endeavor, would be halted suddenly. It was contended that these trusts and monopolies were but a natural development of business. To declare them unlawful would mean ruin. But these were false prophets. Not so much as a "ripple was caused on Wall street, the great financial mart of the world, by this decision of the supreme court. And a reason for this may be found in the fact that one of the Important details of this epoch- making decision, is that all huge ag gregations of capital are not necessar ily deemed to be trusts and mono polies and In violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Corporations whose contracts are "not unreasonably re strictive of competition" are not af fected by the decision. In other words it does not place any ban on combina tions of capital that do not exercise monopolistic functions. Such other corporations whose acts may be ques tionable will be dealt with according to the merits of their particular cases. It was only the other day that Col onel Roosevelt published an editor ial in the Outlook in which he criti cized the New York state court of appeals severely for its reactionary de cision in declaring a worklngman's compensation act to be unconstitu tional. He quoted an eminent jurist in a sharp rebuke of that court aid of American courts generally for their policy for half a century of setting property above human life in other words placing the dollar above the man. But in this Standard Oil case the supreme court of the Untied States has decided that the dollar when It is improperly manipulated is amenable to the necessary regulatory laws of man. And on the same day that this mo mentous decision was rendered anoth er One was handed down by the court setting aside the jail sentences for contempt of courts against Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, representatives of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, "because they had the,. temerity to criticize a judicial proceeding in the Bucks Stove and Range company case." To put the matter a" little differently, the. court of. last jresort of the nation accords to Its people the widest lati tude of free speech. Tuesday, May 16, 1911, was a field day for people's rights In the United States of America. From time to time it is argued that altogether too much power Is vested in the supreme court of the United States. It has been the rule, though, and not the exception that this court has used its great power well. A GAS SUPPLY ASSURED. Of as much, if not of more import ance to the people of Topeka and many other Kansas cities, than was the decision of the United States su preme court in the Standard Oil case to the people of the country generally, was that other decision made by the same court the other day, which pro hibits the state of Oklahoma from in terfering with the piping of natural gas from within its confines to points in Kansas or other states. It was impossible that the ridiculous contention of Oklahoma in this partic ular would be sustained by the courts of the land. But had It been. It would not have- been long before many of the Kansas cities would have to get along without the luxury of having natural gas for lighting and heating purposes. This would nave been little short of a calamity. The Kansas Natural Gas company, which supplies Topeka and other cities in Kansas with gas at cheap prices has about exhausted its supply in the wells In Kansas fields. Or rather the supply of these wells is not sufficient to come anywheres near meeting the demands. This supply Is made suffi cient from the wonderful gas wells In Oklahoma, which are controlled by this gas company. And the supply of gas In these Oklahoma fields is re ported to be well nigh Inexhaustible. Now that the right of the Kansas company to pipe this gas out of the state has been permanently assured, it means that Topeka and several other cities in Kansas will have an ade quate natural gas supply for many years to come. Once In a while this supply fizzles out during extremely cold weather. Great Is the indigna tion of the people for the time being. But it's to be wondered m what they would have said if a court decision had been given which would have shut it off altogether in the near future. The wailing and gnashing of teeth would have been of. sufficient volume to have shattered the walls around the new Jerusalem. "CALL TAFT; HE KXOWS!" One of the best cartoons sent out in the national campaign of 1908, writes Henry Mann In the June Columbian, was one of Uncle Sam sluing at a ta ble, with a public official submitting to him some perplexing problem of foreign policy. "Call Taft; he knows 1" says 'Uncle Sam. And Taft has been called to deal with one of the most difficult situations ever presented to an American president. His action in the case of Mexico brought out the potent and distinguishing characteris tic in his makeup hat invaluable qual ity, or combination of qualities, includ- ed In presence of mlnd.- Without it neither statesman nor soldier can be successful In the fullest meaning of that termr It has often wrested vic tory from defeat. Lack of it has brought disaster to nations as well as Individuals. President Taft's grasp of the hydra- headed Mexican problem has been as resolute as it has been firm. Without stepping beyond constitutional bounds he has compelled respect for the rights of American citizens, and the authority and dignity of the United Statea He put the army and navy in a position to obey any behest of congress, and has not presumed to force that body into adopting a course that Its deliber ate, judgment might disapprove. The nation has not been plunged into a needless war, and Mexico has been taught by forbearance a more indeli ble lesson than a score of victories would have branded in the Mexican mind and on the Mexican hide. Presi dent Taft has answered well the sum mons of Unel9 Sam. JOVRNAL ENTRIES It's seldom the case that "she stoops to conquer."

It was hard to tell for awhile, however, whether he was coming or going. The other day tne ciay uenter juis- patch heard tell of an amateur driver who was driving with a friend in the country and "across lots." They ap proached a wire gate, going at a pretty good hickory, when the friend, fear ing a mishap, suggested that they slow up. The driver simply grabbed the steering wheel a little harder and yelled "Whoa, whoa." A broken wind shield was all tne aamage tnat re sulted. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe.

One thing in favor of the boy bandit is that he doesn't often grow up. A woman can get some satisfaction out of crying over a sad play, but a man can't.

You may have observed that the sample package is apt to be a little better than the regular run. The wild currant managed to nose out ahead of the mulberry, but it didn't have much of a lead. Judging from some men's signa tures, it must have taken them quite awhile to learn not to write. You can put in a gooi deal of time attending to other people's business without getting much out of It. Ever notice that there are voices which by their very sound seem to suggest the empty head above them?

Balie Waggener is fairly earn ing an admirable reputation that will flourish long after he sleeps under the daisies. Having acquired a consider able package of money during a long and useful career, he is using a good part of it to make the lives of the chil dren happy. His annual birthday pic nics have become celebrated all over the country, and hereafter will enjoy additional renown, as the president o the United States will attend tnis y ars celebration. The picnic Idea was a fine and gener ous one. Whenever Mr. Waggener reaches another milestone on life is Journey he invites aU the youngsters to town and the town is theirs for the day. They have the revelry, and theur fairy godfather foots the bills. Mr. Waggener realizes that it is an .rp.lliml ihlnr tn have plenty Of money. It enables a man to give the J children a good time on nis oiniiua.. and he wants those children to have plenty of money when they grow up; so they can perpetuate the generous idea he originated. In order to have plenty of money they must learn how to save, and Mr. Waggener thinks this is a good time to begin, so he has an nounced that he will distribute $500 in prizes at his picnic in 1912 to the chil dren who have saved the most money, and put it in the bank, in the interval. This is horse sense boiled down and filtered. This is real philanthropy. The man who encourages children to form good habits is a public benefactor. A man of less genius that Mr. Waggener, desiring to distinguish himself for gen erosity at a picnic, would offer prizes to the children who would catch greased pigs or climb the highest tree. Atchison's fairy godfather is-looking into the future, and the wisdom he dis plays in his generosity is almost super natural. Emporia Gazette.- SUBSCRIBmaTO A. PAPER. Some people still have the Idea that subscribing for a paper is conferring a favor upon the editor, or stopping it, is doing him some injury. This is the wrong impression in these days of practical affairs. A paper should be purchased to supply a man and his family with the news, just as sugar and coffee are bought for the breakfast table. Whether you like the editor or whether you like the grocer should make no difference; It is the news or the sugar you are buying. Sterling Bulletin. FROM OTHER PENS LIFE-SAVING AEROPLANES. If the recommendations of the Aero Club of America are adopted, the life saving service will be equipped with aeroplanes. Then the hardy coast pa trolman will do his beat in a flying machine, will skim the deeps from the vantage of a lofty perch, and, mayhap, as by nature and training he is a dar ing man, will attempt rescues and save the work and- dangers of shooting and running: the breeches buoy. This ought to make a fine addition to the tackle of a life-saving station. Men get so terribly wearied with the routine of duties during good weather that they go atifhe laboFr,of Rescue,, when the chance fails them, with almost fiendish energy. If they had aeroplanes they would always havet somethlng to con cern," to amuse them and to provide outlets for tastes at tinkering. The sands are dull spaces for the most part.

The precious letter was there he sorted it from the others in a moment and tore It open. His eyes lighted and his head lifted with pride. He tore back through the green woods toward the small group of tents on the lake side, where Mrs. Tiverton was chap eroning Leona Scott and over a dozen other young people who were camping. His first thought had been of his mother she would be glad. Then he made his way straight to Le ona. His Jaw Bet a little as he remem bered that he had left her flirtng. in her refined but desperate way. with Harry Spear. Harry, too, was being dangled. This would decide matters. He found her seated on a big pillow under a birch -tree, her dark head against the white trunk, her saucy eyes bright, her mouth set stubbornly. Harry was just leaving her. his face dark. Kingston walked Btraight up to tne giri ana new ner out the letter, which she took, reading it lazily.. Her face hardened a little, and she held out her hand formally. "Congratulations!" she said, "since you seem to be delighted over such a crazy proposition going to live in a South American wilderness! Won't it be hard to break away?" His heart sank, but he eagerly be gan to explain. "Why, it's the chance of a lifetime for an engineer. Under Foster, the greatest man of his profession agoing, and at a salary to begin on that makes me independent, with every oppor tunity to work up. Don't you see, Leona?" He reached and took her hand, but she drew it back. Anger as well as hurt arose in him. He sprang to his feet. "Leona, are you going to marry me and go with me? Could you be ready in two weeks? That's all the time we will have." "You must be crazy, King! I never thought you were in earnest about go ing out there! Father cculd do better for you financially he'd be glad to "You haven't answered me, Leona. You've trailed me for two years; I've been engaged to. you all that time, and you've been engaged to me when you pleased, and were not too: busy flirting with some-one else. I'm a civil en gineer, and even if there was work for me in a manufacturer's office, I would not be dependent on your father for anything. I love you as I always have you know that. I want you for my wife, but if you marry me, my life will have to be yours. You can have all I have and all I am, but I shall be my self, not somebody else. Will you go with me? Do you love m enough? You won't have the luxuries you have at home but you'll have a wide, free life, and love always!" He spoke rather hotly, but he had been patient a long time. The girl rose and looked at him. Her first Impulse was to yield, to tell him she would follow him anywhere. Then the old pride came up. "In two weeks? With nr wedding? scrambling my things together, when you could as well stay in civili zation? No, thank you!" She intend ed it to begin as a discussion in which she would finally be beaten, but for once she was surprised. "As you wish," he answered coldly. "I have said all I could." He walked quietly away and left her. Leaning up against the tree, she thought it out. After supper she would let him seek her out she would relent, and he would be less master ful, more yielding. But again her plans failed. When she came back to camp she saw the little crowd all standing about him, laughing, con gratulating him. He was in business clothes, his suitcases beside him. "You're all good friends,- the very best," he said. "It will be hard to break away. But I shall need every minute I can give mother, and two weeks is a short time to settle my business affairs up in. And lest I should not meet all of you, in town again before I go, I am going to say good-by." He shook hands warmly with every one, Leona not first or lost, but simply among- others. She felt the glance of the others curiously upon her, and was angry and hurt that no one even chaffed her about his going. Did they think she cared? Did they think he had not asked her to go? Did they think her sensitive about him? The plan had been for ten days longer in camp. Spear, delighted at Kingston Corey's departure from the field, devoted himself to Leona, who was glad to show her independence by encouraging his devotion. But the days became interminable to her, and the nights sleepless. From anger and surprise, she became dismayed, and then her heart sank hopelessly. Had he said his last word to her? Would he not write? She began taking the daily long walks to meet the mail, but there was no word to her from him. He must have meant it- -Fear seized upon, her, and then grief. Her one effort was to hide It from, the others by sheer gayety. A week passed. She was counting the days seven before he went away for always!'- And without even seeing her again! Could she bear it? The time dwindled to five, to four days, then to three. It was more than she could endure-. She planned quickly, caring nothing of what the others might say or think. On the afternoon mail came a letter from her father, wishing she were at home. It gave her an excuse. "Dad wants me to come home," she said to Mrs. Tiverton, "and I want to start right away.- Could Gray take my things to the station?" Her face was so pale, her eyes so eager, that the wise woman said noth ing and was kindly helpful. "She di vined something of the sroiled mother less girl's predicament, had watched her proud treatment of young Corey. who was proud enough, too, whose pa tience ha manifestly come at last to an ena. no one blamed Corey.

Then Leona waked up one morning to know that on the evening of the next Kingston Corey would start for South America evidently alone surely without coming to see her, even to bid ner good-by. She did not cnnslrLcr that good-by would be a hard thing for him to say when his heart had de pended on taking her with him. At noon even her pride deserted her She went to the telephone, called for special messenger, and sat down to her aesk. fane had grown almost thin in her anxiety, and there were sha.dows about her eyes, her curling dark hair was carelessly knotted and she wore a loose paie blue morning dress. She be gan slowly to write to King. sne tried again and again. What could she say? The truth? Could she write, "I am sorry I want to go with you; I don't care about anybody in the worm out you?" She tried it, but threw the sheet on the floor of the big living room, and tried it again. "Dear King, I have never loved any one but you won't you forgive me?" This seemed utterly abject to her. She dis carded that also, not noting that the fresh summer wind Picked it u.n and whirled It over the bare polished floor to tne door opening upon the veranda. and that the first sheet caught on the eage or a run. Again she tried, and this time it was shorter -yet; she knew the messenger wouia come m a moment, and she had been wasting time in thinking, in try ing to save her pride. Now she let It go. Dear King," she wrote. "I can't stand it to have you go without me. I can be ready in two days or in two hours, if you will take me or I will go Just as, I am. I don't care for any thing but you She heard the bell ring, and went on writing, not looking up, as the maid let some one in. "You will have to wait a moment, messenger," she said, but a queer feel ing came over her, and she lifted her eyes. Kingston Corey, his face rather stern and set. was deliberately reading a sheet of paper. He stooped and picked up another piece near the rug, and read that. Then, his face alight, he came toward her,' but tears filled her eyes, and her vision of him wav ered, though she rose and stood wait ing, still clutching the unfinished note in one hand. "Leona, did you mean what is written here "Yea," she said, and gave him the paper in her hand, .and I mean this, too. I was going to send' it to you Oh, it's terrible not to have any shame or pride or anything!" "But love? It is terrible, dear! But it's the best thing, too, isn't it?"

IMPROVES COMPLEXIONS BETTER THAN POWDER In discussing beuty preparations in the New York Herald, Mae Martyn, authority on such matters, writes as follows: "Face Powder is now a back number. Women who desire a beautiful complexion seldom use it- A much better substitute has been found in an inexpensive lotion made by dissolving four ounces of spurmax In one half pint of hot water with two teaspoon fuls glycerine added. "This wonderful skin whitner and com plexion beautifler doe not show or rub ofr like powder and gives a sallow oily or xhiny skin a clear, charming, youthful line.

The next editor of the Washburn Re view will be a girl, if the present in dications pan out. One of the real calamities at a co-educational school to the man student is to have a co-ed at the head of a masculine college or ganization. Dean MacEachron of Washburn col lege acted as judge in a debate be tween Baker university and Ottawa university at Ottawa Tuesday.

It was decided some time ago not to hold a reception this year, but the action taken by the class was reconsidered. Commissioner Miller is making an effort to have electric fans installed in the various offices in the city hall. He claims that a city of 50.000 inhab itants is not so poor but it can afford such a necessity for about four months in the summer. It is needless to say that the clerks in these offices appre ciate Mr. Miller's efforts'. An attempt was made to pass reso lutions in connection with the white way in the city commission Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Billard and Com missioner Miller were the only offi cials' who appeared at the meeting and the matter was postponed.

It is stmDlv outraeeons. said one person today who is on the payroll of the school, "for the seniors to spend so much money on an affair of the kind." The seniors, however, contend that it is not extravagance for it s only once in a life time. DANCES AT NXVETY YEARS. Chris Glady Has Grown Great Grand. daughter for Partner. Hornell, N. -Y.. May 17.

Tomorrow choice See RIPLEY WAS HERE President of Santa Fe on His Way From California Made Inspection of New General Office Building.. MAY BE TROUBLE. Mr. Ripley Doubtful Over Stand ard Oil Situation. Tice President StoreyOptiinistic Over Topeka Outlook. Tanned from his outdoor winter life Jn California, in high spirits over the general condition of the Santa Fe and declaring that he never felt better physically in his life. E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway, spent two hours in Topeka last evening. President Rip ley stopped in Topeka on his way to his Chicago headquarters from his winter home in Santa Barbara, Cal. With the Santa Fe president was W. H. Storey, Jr., vice president of the Santa Fe. Since he has held the po sition ot vice president, following the absence of J. W. Kendrick abroad, Mr. Storey has traveled over the entire lines of the Santa. Fe getting ac quainted with the offlri'ijF and the physical condition of the road. As soon as the special train carry ing the president and vice president arrived at 5:30 last evening Presi dent Ripley, "Vice President Storey and a party of Topeka officials walked from the station to the new general office building a distance of nearly a mile. The Topeka officers wanted to arrange motor car conveyance for Mr. Ripley and Mr. Storey, but the presi dent wouldn't listen to the proposition. "I haven't seen Topeka on foot for a long time," he said. "Besides, after my winter in the west. I feel like boy cotting the cars altogether." With this President Ripley set a stride up Fifth avenue that was fol lowed as closely as possible by Gen eral Manager Kouns. General Freight Agent Koontz, General Passenger Agent Conn ell, Chief Kngineer Felt, Treasurer Copeland, Superintendent Jones all of them, with the exception of President Ripley, removing their hats every few yards to wipe the persr piration from their brow. Inspects New Building. President Ripley wished to inspect the new ten-story general office build ing of the road. For an hour he walked up and down unfinished stanv ways, climbing over sections of marble, and felt his way in parts under con struction. Like a rapid fire gun he threw question after question to his chief engineer, Mr. Felt, concerning the construction of the building and the condition of comforts in the offices for the employees. President Ripley was looking around In one unfinished office looking into the parts here and there when he turned to Chief Engineer Felt and 6aid ."In a big building like this we ought to have ventilators they keep the rooms fresh and cool and are a safe guard to the health of the employees." Mr. Felt assured the president that the ventilators were being installed and plans had been made for a system to cover the entire building. "Well, now that's fine," said Mr. Ripley. The president was greatly pleased with the location of the new building. Standing in one of the west windows that overlooked the state house grounds and Topeka's beautiful resi dence district, Mr. Ripley admitted that he wouldn't mind having one of the offices himself. And every official with him suggested silently that he move his office from Chicago and make Topeka his home. Silent on Standard Oil Decision. Speaking of the recent Standard Oil BULK (SHREDDED) COCOANUT High grade, fresh and sweet 15c lb. WM. GREEN SON GROCERY CO. 1 TOFMROW 1 the Windows blow from the government, President Ripley said to a State Journal reporter last evening: "I have just read the latest report of this case in this evening's State Journal. That is about all I hav.e read on the case. With this short notice I don't believe I can say what effect the decision will have on the country. But I do believe that if carried out it may cause trouble. There is a big dif ference of opinion as to what com poses a trust and where one judge would make this decision I think an other would decide differently. But I don't feel prepared to talk on this subject now." President Ripley was pleased with the outlook for Santa Fe business this year. "I have found everythfng In fine shape," he said. "Things look much better than they did a few months ago when I was going west." Regarding the recent rumors to the effect that he was scheduled to resign from the Santa Fe, President Ripley only laughed. "I am not ready to retire," he ex plained. "I hope that I am not classi fied as one who is worn out in ser vice." Abont six months ago Just after Vice President Kendrick of the Santa Fe left this country to go abroad for his health the State Journal stated that he would not return to the Santa Fe. Denials from all parts of the country came floating In. But many times since that first news of Mr. Kendrick's retirement other proofs of the vice president's resignation, have been printed in this paper. W. B. Storey, Jr.. who is now acting vice president at the head of the op erating department didn't deny last evening that Mr. Kendrick would not return to the Santa Fe. "I don't know what Mr. Kendrick will do." said Mr. Storey. "We have not heard from him and will not know his plans until he returns from abroad." President Ripley said. also, that he had not heard from Mr. Kendrick con cerning the condition of his health and didn't know about his return to the road. Business Prospects Bright. Vice President Storey, who followed wit'-, heated brow the lead taken by President Ripley In the walk from the Santa Fe depot to the general office building last night, was optimistic over thebusines8 of the road. "Business Is not quite as good as last year at this time," said Mr. Storey, "but many roads over the country are suffering from the decline in traffic and we feel very well satisfied." The vice president had good news for Topeka when he said that from the present outlook there would be no re duction in shop work in this city this summer. "Of course when there is no work for the men we can't create it," said Mr. Storey. "But as long as the work is in sight the Topeka employees will not suiter. I look for no retrenchment In the work in this city. "The Santa Fe is not retrenching. It is carrying out the operating expenses In good shape but no improvements are scheduled. We are not laying off men or making sweeping reductions to make a good showing instead we are going right ahead with our standard opera tive work with a tighter grasp on im provements." Storey Also Is Pleased. Vice President Storey was surprised at the work in the general offices in Topeka. "Years ago when we built that 'L' in the old building no one dreamed that we would need more floor space. Now we have built a ten-story office structure and every inch is used. The work of the general offices in To peka has increased wondertuiiy in the last few years. "Ah, this seems just like home to me." said Mr. Storey throwing out his chest while walking up Kansas ave nue. "The streets look busier and things are livelier than when I was here but I still feel at home." The president's special was pulled out of Topeka for the east at dark last night. Mrs. Ripley and Miss Ripley are with the president. Mr. Storey is alone. It was a new President Ripley that visited Topeka, The last time he was here inspecting the shops was in the midst ot the freight rate fight. Mr. Ripley was just out of his busy office and there was none of the California tan on his face. Last night he looked different. He seemed full of life and vitality. He was refreshed for the entrance into an office In Chicago where all eyes of a big railroad system of 10,000 miles look for advice and counsel. "Well, goodbye," he waved his To peka lieutenants as he stepped back into the vestibule of his private car. And the last seen of him as the train left swiftly down the yards he was brushing with the palm of his hand, dust that had collected on his coat lapels not the dust of the streets but dust from the roadbed of the Santa Fe through Kansas. Dust that had swept up on a president who sat on the rear vestibule of his ear watching closeiy the real condition of his road In its i mother state. Card of Thanks.

James Forbes Cans New York the Panhandlers' Paradise. New York May 17. "The Panhan dlers' Paradise" is what James Forbes, head of the National Association for the Prevention of Mendicancy, calls New York City in his annual report. Professional beggars, l.e calculates, mulct the people of the city out of $15,000,000 a year. "It is impossible to tel! with any ex actness," he says, "how many profes sional beggars there are in New York as distinguished from those who may be driven to ask aid as f result of genuine misfortunes. Probably from 7,000 to 8,000 would be a conservative estimate. A beggar who is at all skin ful can make pickings of five or six dollars a day, so that the sum they secure from the public is in the ag gregate a large one."

Lewis, Superintendent of Insur ance, Has a Plan of His Own. Ike S. Lewis, superintendent of Insur ance, Is sending out the new blanks to life and accident Insurance companies to day which are designed to protect the public and the companies from irresponsi ble and dishonest and bogus agents. The blank requires answers to questions con cerning the life and character of the agent and he must answer them satis factorily and secure a commission before he can sell insurance in Kansas. Com plaints In the past against bogus agents have been numerous enough to warrant the superintendent making the new and rigid ruling regarding agents. The superintendent today gave out the following statement regarding the blanks and his new regulations regarding agents: "Hereafter no agent for life or casualty companies will be licensed by the state insurance department until he has satis factorily exeouted the blank. In order to do this he must give a history of himself for a least five years prior to his appli cation for a license rom the Kansas de partment. He Is required to state where he has resided; if a life insurance agent; with what companies he has been as sociated; his reasons for leaving one com pany and associating himself with an other; he must state whether or not his license has ever been revoked or suspend ed by the Kansas or other state depart ments. He is required to satisfy the de partment that he is not indebted to in surance companies or general agents on account of nets due the company or gen eral agents; and must testify that he fa miliar with the law which is printed on the back of the blank prohibiting agents from negotiating the- sale of premium notes prior to the delivery of the policy. "These are among some of the Import ant questions which the applicant for an agent's license must satisfactorily an swer and file with the department before license will be Issued. "The insurance department of Kansas has more real trouble because of charges of misrepresentation upon the part of life insurance agents than upon the part of all other insurance agents combined. He says that the business of a life Insurance agent is respectable, or ought to b but that there have been in the past individ uals who are Irresponsible, dishonest and wholly unfit to act in the capacity of a life insurance agent or any other honest business. "The whole purpose of this new require ment is to get rid of the crook" in the life insurance business in Kansas.- There are hundreds of capable and honest life in surance agents In Kansas who will wel come this new requirement. It will be no hardship upon them and if it accomplish es the purpose for which it is aimed hon est life insurance agents will be benefited, and every life insurance company in the state as well. "For some time now the superintendent has steadily refused to license an agent for a life insurance company against whom charges have been filed; and, after investigating, the superintendent has been convinced that the charges are correct. "This department believes that a license Issued to an agent to solicit insurance In Kansas should be a certificate of good character, and he Is resolved, so faras in his power, that in the future this shall be true. Tnt aa nnlr.klv a it in aBcenainea mat Ufa nr- nthr aeent for Insurance is irtna(linir business contrary to the. law, by misrepresentation or otherwise. Just that soon the. license of the offending agent will be cancelled." BOND ISSUE COMING. The Government Offer. $50,000,000 in Securities foe ale. Washineton.

Ooal at Hand Can Not Be Used Be cause of Disputed Ownership. Cordova. Alaska, May 17. Within about thirty miles of millions of tons of coal, the United States cruiser Buf falo lies here with empty bunkers, practically helpless for want of fuel. It is expected here that the govern ment will send a collier Tom the Puget Sound navy yard, about 1,600 miles, with more coal. Efforts to se cure a supply in Alaskan .waters proved unavailing. The cruiser sailed from San Fran cisco to establish wireless telegraphy stations in Alaska.

9 SAYS IjEJIT HER. Mrs. Clara Mills Tells Story on Stand. TRUNKS, BAGS and SUIT CASES Do fbu Know What It Takes to Make a Good efrigeratoir? Says That Jweler Swearingen Hurt Her Badly. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1911. R FUSS OVER A BILL. Man Had Stopped Payment on a Check He Gave Her. She Is Asking Court for Ten Thousand Dollars Damages. Because she claims to have been at tacked nd beaten and later malicious ly prosecuted for the theft of a $10 opal Tin. Mrs. Clara B. Mills is ask ing a jury in Judge Dana's court to rive her a $10,000 judgment against Frank B. Swearingen, a Kansas ave nue Jeweler, and his wife. Mrs. Mills wants $5,000 for assault and battery and an additional $5,000 for malicious prosecution. The purchase of a ring by Mrs. Mills' husband at the Swearingen store, Swearlngen's $9.20 bill at the Mills garage and a protested check at Topeka bank started the trouble. Then Mrs. Mills went to the jewelry store, where she claims she was beat en and kicked and ten days later humiliated by a prosecution for al leged theft of a ring from the store. Evidence offered today by the plain tiff is of a highly decorated nature and the possible zeal of a long string of witnesses is burdening the record with a volley of objections from the de fense. At intervals today Mrs. Mills wept copiously. With her face buried In a handkerchief the rather pent-up, excitable little plaintiff i-egged Otis Hungate to temper his grilling cross examination. She was a bit disap pointed when the court would not per mit her to compare the defendant with some wild animal. Thpn there were conclusions that Mrs. Mills disliked to see removed from the records, but her two hours on the witness stand seemed fairly successful. In her preliminary testimony Mrs. Mills told of the attempt on her part to collect a $9.20 garage bill at the Swearlnsren store. She v.as informed that Mills had bought a ring at the Etore and an agreement was reached to cancel the two bills. Later it was agreed to return the ring by paying for possible damages In the two weeks It was in her husband's possession. Miss Slpes, a clerk, went to the Mills home with a check for $8.20, gave It to the plaintiff and received the ring. When Mrs. Mills went to the bank 30 minutes later, the check was protest ed. Swearingen had stopped payment. The little woman denied she was an gry, but admitted that she was highly indignant. "What did you do after leaving the bank?" asked T. F. Dcran for the plaintiff.- "I walked up Kansas avenue and as I passed the Jewelry store, I saw Mr. Swearingen at a counter." "Did you enter the stcre?" "I did." "Tell what happened." 'I asked Mr. Swearingen why he had stopped payment on the check and he said because he wanted to. I asked him if he intended to pay the Mil and he said he did not. Then I saw a box on the counter and picked it up. I thought it contained Mr. Mills' ring and I told Mr. Swearingen that since he wouldn't honor the check, I would take the ring. I will never forget the expression on his face. If I had been attacked by an animal But Mrg. Mills got no further with the wild animal comparison. Otis Hungate objected and Judge Dana deftly withdrew the remark from the jury. The witness tried again, only to be sidetracked. "I am going to ob ject right now to this display of fire works," declared Hungate, and Doran Insisted the plaintiff was being shorn of her privileges. Tears were begin ning to trickle down Mrs. Mills' face and she seemed unable to understand what the trouble was all about. It was several minutes before he got another good start. Tells or Her Injuries. "I want you to tell just what was said and done,"' said Doran. "Well, Mr. Swearengin caught both my hands In his. He jerked me against the counter and pinched and twisted my hand and thumb in an effort to get the box. Mrs. Swearengin started sev eral times to telephone the police. I begged her to do it. But Mr. Swearen gin told her to come help him. Once Mrs. Swearengin screamed, 'Oh, Frank, you will break her thumb,' and he said' 'I don't give a d d if I do.' It was then I saw two women looking in the window. I screamed to them, but they didn't come In. Just then Mrs. Swear engin again rushed to the telephone Many of our customers have asked us time and again why we did not sell trunks. Our wagons can deliver them without extra expense, our clerks can sell them without extra expense, so when we were able to get -the sale of Topeka of the Schmit Bros.' Trunks, Bags and Suit Cases we concluded to fix a place in our front basement, and the first carload has arrived.

So we know we are on the "ground floor" as to prices, but not regarding all these advntages, we are going to start off this, our new line, with a Special IS Per Cent Discount; This Means That on Any Trunk, Hand Bag or Suit Case for Three Days You Can Save From $1.00 to $3.00 and the quality of these goods is assured by our own and the manufacturer's reputation. MAHIZER-&PIEMAN zWRNlTURE&O, 9 A NEW PICTURE OF PRESIDENT TAFT'S OFFICIAL FAMILY. 1 A. ITS: if -fc r --'"J' -i. v" 4 k "--Vie urns -awmc IV f II if. ff-ft ill js-fcws i t ill First picture showing: the President's Cabinet, Including the new Appointee, Mr. Fisher.

Flsner, sec. or interior; and her husband bit my thumb." At this juncture the witness exhibited a scar on her right thumb, which she said was made from Swearengln's teeth. She also showed the two thumbs for comparison and said the injury to the member of her right hand had made her incapable of sewing and play ing the piano. It was after the defendant bit her, Mrs. Mills testified, that he kicked her nnd released his hold on her hand. Then she went to the door. The women were still at the entrance. She started to tell her troubles and triumphantly showed the jewel box. Then she open ed it to show her husband's ring. The box was empty. "When I saw my condition, I began to cry," the witness said, "my clothes were torn and my hand was cut and bleeding. I seemed to be causing con siderable comment and wanted to get off the street. So I went up a stairway. I happened to enter Mr. McKeever's of fice." Begged Attorney to Be JLess Severe. The defense laid much stress on the plaintiff's visit to McKeever's office and claim that Mrs. Mills' motive was to immediately start suit. Mrs. Mills" cross-examination was rather short and Reading and Distance Lenses 1 pair of glasses no visible lines that's what our 1 Invisible Bi-focals Mean to you. With the same pair of lenses you can read fine print, or see clearly, ob jects blocks away; and the fine part of this is, that there are absolutely no visible lines m the glass to mar the appearance or make you nervous. The two different strengths of glass are fused together by heat not pasted or cemented. There is one way to get absolute satisfac tion in your glasses: Come to Topeka's eye specialist Perfect fit; reasonable charges. Don t delay come today. Santa Fe Watch Co. 106 W. 8thSt. Dr. O. C. Paine Specialist in Charge Permanently furious. Hungate wanted her to admit that there was a purpose behind her visit to McKeever's office: He wanted her to confess that she was hysterical and of a highly nervous disposition. Mrs. Mills was sobbing and having a trying half hour with the rapid fire questioning. "Please don't be so cross, Mr. Hungate," pleaded the witness, but the desire that the court would inter fere with the attorney's methods was hopeless. In the cross-examination the defense showed that it will expect to disprove all of Mrs. Mills' more important state ments. It will deny that the woman was kicked or bitten and that Swear engln's tactics were only mild and modest defenses of his business. Mrs. Mills told of the humiliation and mental anguish surrounding her ar rest on a charge of stealing a ring from the store. She was confined to her bed from the previous injuries, she said, when a policeman served a war rant. In a trial in police court, she was acquitted. The woman claims that the shock of her arrest disturbed her sleep for several months and that the suffering and humiliation surrounding this event was worth $5,000. Police court records were introduced by the prosecution, but the defense almost succeeded in eliminating them from tho record. Sitting in the court room today are a dozen women, almost all of them are witnesses for the little plaintiff in the damage case. Mrs. Stella Day, a neigh bor, told of Mrs. Mills' suffering and of her nervous condition after the Swear engin attack. It is hardly probable that the case will go to the jury before late Thurs day afternoon. Both sides are making a stubborn fight and the trial of the case may be prolonged by the grilling cross-examination of witnesses both for the plaintiff and defendant. AN AUTO SHOW, TOO Will Be a Feature of Fair Week This Year. One of the features of the state fair next fall will be a great automobile show. This was practically decided this noon at a conference between officials of the Topeka Ad club and the Motor league.

It has been proposed that it might be fit ting to formally inaugurate the white way on that evening. The Motor league at its meeting tomor row night will also discuss the Silver Lake dub house proposition. WEDNESDAYBARGAINDAY Real Estate Men Together W1U Make Special Prices on Wednesday.

Jimmy Jerry, according to his modest admission, left New York with 6 cents in ready money, spent the win ter in Florida, visited in Mississippi and New Orleans and then tried Texas, the land of hoboes' woe. "They fell in love with me down in Texas," says immie. 'fThey didn't want me to climb a train, 'fear I'd get hurt. To save me from the dangers of the blind baggage, a bull took four shots at me, and put one of them through the sleeve' of my perfectly good coat. Then he ran me down, took $25.75 out of my shoe. Then I got 30 days to study agriculture on the county farm. Gentleman stood around with a gun Just to -see that I didn't i iss my meals of beans and corn meal. Agriculture is not my favorite outdoor sport, so I stayed only about a week." From Texas James drifted west ward, via Salt Lake, Butte and other points, and worked a-while in Cali fornia and the northwest. His return was via Omaha, and- he landed in To peka last week and got a job hopping bells at the National. "Everybody, from, the clerk to the telephone girl took a turn at firing me yesterday," says Jlmmie, "and this morning the manager made it stick." Jlmmie is in communication with a "pal," whom he intends to meet at Lawrence. There they will construct a raft, and float down with the current to New Orleans via the Kaw, Missouri and Mississippi- A favorite boast with thi3 youthful tourist is that he doesn't smoke, chew ot drink, and "never swiped nothin' but rides."- MB Twenty-five years of experience in buying and selling Refrigerators has taught us a few things.

To save much of the time re quired to grow these from seed there were imported from France during tho year 41,699 deciduous ornamental plants, 6.480 coniferous ornamental trees and 107,935 coniferous forest seedlingB. These were placed in beds at the nur sery and will be ready for transplant ing this year. In addition to growing ornamental shrubbery, and trees for its future re quirements of ties and lumber, the Pennsylvania railroad has established two large tie and timber treating plants, both using the pressure treat ment, one at Mt. Union and the other at Greenwich Point, Philadelphia. These plants have a combined capacity per year of a million and one-half cros--ties or their equivalent. The Mt. Union plant was in operation the en tire year, while the one at Greenwich Point was placed in service July 1. In 1910 there were treated 671,369 ties, as iwell as four and one-half million feet of lumber and switch timber, 5,432 fence posts, 10,592 cross-arms, 65.212 lineal feet of poles and 90,306 paving blocks. To do this required the use of 2,866,513 gallons of creosote oil, all of which was Imported from Europe. It is believed by the management that the conservative lumbering and the forest planting which the company Is conducting on its wood lots and farm landB will serve as object lessons for farmers, and provide an Incentive to intelligent foreBt development on the part of the public generally. To this end the company furnishes to private corporations and individuals trees and plants not required for its own use. For the Month of June 1 Two-Piece Suits!

HIGHEST ROAD TS WORLD. Central Hallway of Pern 15,865 Feet Above Sea Level. The distinction of being the highest railway in the world is claimed by the Morococha branch of the Central Rail way of Peru, a wholly broad gauge line operated by the Peruvian corpora tion. The altitude of the rails is here exactly 15,865 feet above sea level. Tlclio, the western portal of the Ga lera tunnel and the point of Junction of the Morococha branch with the main line, is the highest railway sta tion In the world, at 15,665 feet. To reach this point from sea level, the line passes through 67 tunnels. over a dozen principal bridges and utilizes thirteen switchbacks, but has no gradient up to 4 per cent, nor does it resort to rack propulsion. A hand car started at Ticlio will run unaided to Callao, the seaport, and as a matter or fact such a car, equipped with safety brakes, runs before each passenger train, carrying an Inspector on the lookout for fallen rocks pr oth er dangers. The grandeur of the scen ery along this route can not be im agined. The second highest railway in the world is that from Antofagasta In Chili to Oururo and La Paz in Bolivia, end It is perhaps the narrowest gauge line for such a distance, being two and one-half feet in width of track. The highest point is at Collahusai, where the altitude is 15,809 feet, fifty-six feet lower than the Peruvian line. FOR BETTER UPPER BERTHS. New Plan Will Make "Attic Sleeping" More Comfortable. A western traction company has orougnt out a car, which if satisfac tory in other particulars, promises to revolutionize the desire on the part of travelers to obtain the lower berth In sleeping cars, says the Railway Rec ord. This new coach, it is stated, proves that It Is possible to make such im provements In the interior arrange ments of a sleeper as to render these berths more desirable, and make sleep ing "upstairs" en route more enjoy able. Most of the present objectionable features to the roof bunk have been eliminated by this Invention, on which patents are sought. The sides or tne car go flush to the roof, which is high. and of what is known as turtle back construction. This does away with deck lights shining Into upper berths, makes the berths more commodious and allows of windows at the top. The berths are also six Inches longer than those In a Pullman sleeper. At the head of each berth is a plush lined steel locker, built in the side of the car, and intended for holding valu ables. It can be locked upon the safe ty deposit plan: the passenger having one key and the conductor another. Lower berths fold up against the side of the car, making a small state room for the convenience of dressing. Un derneath a folding chair Is carried. LOSS IN APRIL EARNINGS. Decrease of 2.S Per Cent Over United States. Gross earnings of all United States railroads reporting for the month of April aggregate $32,242,791, a loss of 2.3 per cent, compared with last year. While this exhibit can not be regarded as satisfactory, it is somewhat better than that of the preceding month, the returns for March of practically the some roads showing a decrease of 3.8 per cent, as compared with the cor responding period a year ago. More over, as a similar comparison last year showed an increase over 1909 of more than 10 per cent, the volume of cur rent railroad business, considering gen eral business conditions, may be fair ly regarded as remarkably well main tained. The decreases in earnings are also notably uniform, nearly all the leading systems now reporting loss, in dicating lessened operations in prac tically every section of the country: but at the same time the gains are very insignificant; in hardly any in stance wnere a loss occurs is it of suffi cient Importance to call for special mention. RAILWAY NOTES. The Illinois Central is testing a new device by means of which two heavily loaded mail sacks can be put aboard a moving train in .place of the one half loaded sack which is all that can be taken aboard by the old method. The Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe Railway company will hold a series of Safety Habit rallies at points along the line where a considerable number of employees have headquarters. The ob ject of the meetings will be to Impress upon employees the importance of sys tematically keeping out of danger, thereby saving life and limb for work men, and dollars for the railway com pany. The campaign will start the middle of June on the western lines. Meetings have been planned for La Junta on the 15th; Raton, 16th; Las "Vegas, 17th; Albuquerque. 19th; Vaughn, morning. 20th; Clovis, even ing, 20th; Amarillo, 21st; Canadian. 22d; Waynoka, 23d. The meetings will be addressed by J. T. M. Hamilton, claims attorney of Topeka. who invented the Get the Safety Habit button worn by Santa Fe employees. Division officials will attend the meetings. A free-for- all program will be given, any employee with a suggestion having the .privilege of the floor. The Missouri Pacific, during the past few days, has received a number of new steel underframe coaches and chair cars, which have been placed in serv ice on the day St. Louis-Kansas City trains. These are a part of an order of 100, placed last fall. The Lehigh Valley railroad Is Install ing a thorough telephone equipment to regulate movement of trains on its New Tork terminal division. Trains are now dispatched by telephone over the greater part of the Lehigh Valley. As soon as the weather will permit work will begin on the revision of the roadbed of the Kansas City Southern. It will cost, with a reduction of grades. $1,250,000 and bring 66 per cent of the mileage of the road to a maximum grade of one-naif of one per cent, oth er improvements and betterments to be made will bring the total of expendi ture up to $5,000,000. The Southern Paclnc company nas is sued an order requiring passenger di rectors in the employ of that company to wear gray uniforms while on duty, in order that those seeking informa tion many easily distinguish them from other employees who wear the regula tion blue.

It is interesting to note that in one stage of the manufacture the needles are bent and again straightened to test them. The manufacture of shears is also or great interest to the pupils. Until they saw this display many of them did not know that the scissor blades consists of two pieces of steel, welded together. Another surprise to many was the number of products from corn, such as the different syrups and oils as well as the meals and starch products. T.

FEWER HITS WILL BE MADE. New Supply of Baseballs Will Not Be So Lively. Chicago, May 17. Heavy batting which has been the despair of pitchers since the opening of the 1911 baseball season, will be curtailed, according to the statement of a representative of a baseball factory. It is said the next supply of official balls for the clubs of tne major and minor leagues will not be as lively as the ones now in use. According to the factory representa tive, the present lively ball which pro duced 367 runs In three days in the major leagues was due to a hint from the baseball powers that there was not enough batting to suit the "fans." Now tho "tip" has gone forth that the games are too long because of the great In crease in batting. It is not intended to revert to the old ball which produced so many few hit contests, and made many cham pionship affairs merely a battle be tween pitchers, but to strike a happy medium about on the middle ground between the old ball and the new.

W C!xfy Years tho Standard. HARMONSREPORT Commander Blames Senators for Pension Bill's Defeat. Bailey, BeTeridge and Lodge filled Sulloway Measure. TICKET RATE TOO HIGH Kept Veterans From Attending Atlantic City Encampment. Sons of Yeterans Should Be Given Place on Programmes. Lawrence, Kan., May 17. In his re port made here today at the state en campment of the G. A. R.. N. E. Har mon, department commander, placed on Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, Bailey of Texas and Beveridge o? In diana the blame for the failure of the Bui lo way pension bill to pass. "There Is no doubt," he says, "that If the bill had been allowed to come before the senate it would have re ceived a majority approximately as large as in the house. 'The friends of the bill tried hard to get it considered, but were foiled by Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, Bai ley of Texas and Beveridge of Indiana, In invoking parliamentary tactics, and the aid of the crush of-business at the end of the session." Rap for Railroads. Continuing, the commander ex plained that prohibitive railway rates had caused light attendance at the na tional encampment last year. "The national encampment at At lantic City was not as largely attended as it deserved to be, but was a very enthusiastic and profitable encamp ment. Owing to the exorbitant rates charged by the railroads, the west was not largely represented. Our depart ment had seventy-one men In line dur ing the parade, and. with our sun flower badges provided by the Wom an's Relief corps, created great enthu siasm all along the line of march. Need a of V. Help. "During the year I have given con siderable attention to the Sons of Vet erans and their auxiliary, for I feel that the time has come when there ought to be organized a camp of Sons of Veterans at least in every county seat. We are growing old and need their help and assistance We ought to show an Interest in them and let them know that we love and appre ciate them as our noble sons, and that while we are the greatest patriotic body of men in our day, we want them aa our sons to take our place when we are gone and be the greatest patriotic body of men in their day. "I would suggest that on Memorial day they be given a prominent place on the program and have a special in vitation to Join us in the exercises, and then they will know that we have something for them to do and that we want them with us. I would also sug gest that post commanders and com rades take a special interest in assist ing the sons to organize and build up a. camp wherever it is possible to do so. Commander Sweet informs me that during the year eight new camps have been organized, with 216 mem bers, and the old camps have made good gains in their membership. Some Do Not Draw Pensions. "There are 1,000 old soldiers in Kansas who do not draw pensions. "We have about 30.000 old soldiers living in this department. At the Topeka pension agency I learned that 24,000 were drawing pensions whose postoffice address is in Kansas. There are perhaps 5,000 that live in the state that draw pensions from other agencies, and 1,000 that do not draw pensions at all, which would make the 30.000. I am sorry to say that only about one-third of them be long to the Grand Army of the Re public. It is doing and has done a grand work, not only for its members but for all old soldiers and its influ ence in securing legislation to relieve suffering and distress would be greatly mcreasea if its membership were doubled, as it should be. It is not fair for those who have had the bene fits to refuse to support our order, which has done and is still doing so much for them." THEY KNOW MORE NOW. So Aged Divorced Couple Try Matri mony One More Round. Kansas City, Mo., May 17. Isaac Hopper, Osawatomie, Kansas, was 21 years old when he married a girl 16 years old twenty-nine years ago.

"We have children and grandchil dren," Mr. Hopper said. "We con cluded we are a little smarter now than we wereseventeen years ago, so here we are. married again.

That Is "How can I cure my constipa tion 7" lr. Caldwell, an eminent specialist in diseases of the stomach, liver and bowels Int. looked the whole field over, has prac tised the specialty for forty years and la convinced that the ingredients contained in what la called lr. C&ldnrell'a Syrup Pepsin baa the beat claim to attention from constipated people. Its success in tha cure of stubborn con stipation haa dona much to displace the cae of salts, waters, strong aathartlcs and such things. Syrup Pepsin, by train tnc the atomajoh and bowel muscles to HaJtn4s liurtr. work naturally, sad. with its tonic ingredients strengthening the nerves, brings about a lasting cure. Among Its strongest supporters are Mr. John Grareline of 98 Milwaukee Ave., Detroit, Mich.. Mr. J. A. Vernon of Okla noma City and thousands of others.

While the prison raised a few last year, hatching them out In incubators, no special effort was made in the chicken raising line until this spring. They are of two varieties, the Ply mouth Rock and the White Leghorn, each variety of eggs being kept sep arately. The eggs from which the chickens were hatched were all laid on the prison farm, as there are about two hundred hens, which were raised last year. s BLOOD SPILLED OTJT WEST. Two Near Mnrders and Accidents Keep Surgeons Bnsy. Great Bend, Kan.. May 17. Surgeons in this vicinity has been kept busy. Two fights, one at Hoisington and the other at Seward, and two accidents in this city have been so far Teported. At Hoisington the porter of one of the hotels got In a row last night with another man and cut his throat. The man hurt is unknown here. He is in a serious condition and fears of his recovery are entertained. The por ter escaped. Adolph Nlcolet was badly cut about the head In Seward by John Savoy who attacked him because of a happening the day before when Savoy and several other young fellows got into a row and Nlcolet made Savoy quit fighting One story is that Nlcolet was badly cut about the head and neck and the other that he was knocked down by being hit with a neck yoke by Savoy. The original trouble concerns six' young fellows of the Seward neighborhood and a lost keg. The little 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Grovler was badly hurt here. Dur ing the absence of his mother from the kitchen he climbed up to the cup board and fell, his hand striking some forks which were hung upright on the cupboard door and impaling him there. It was necessary to lift him up to get the hand free from the forks. Joe Shaeffer, the meat market man, was hurt about the head through some machinery at the slaughter house fall ing this morning and striking him on the head.

PENSION PROMPTLY ALLOWED Many Unusual Features In Case of George C. Cnrrey. Ottawa, Kan., May 17. Three months ago an almost unparalleled pension increase of from $30 to $72 was granted George G. Currey, a vet eran of the Civil war here. Just one week later Mr. Currey died and the pension was annulled.

WOMEN BUY STOLEN WHEAT. Respectable Residents of Hutchinson Plead for Another Chance. Hutchinson, Kan., May 17. The names of five women, all of respecta bility, have been turned over to Coun ty Attorney Foote, and they may be arrested and prosecuted for buying sto len wheat from boys. It was with tearful pleading that the women concerned.; begged the county attorney not to prosecute them, and urged that they did not know the wheat which they have been purchasing was stolen. j For some time the elevator men have been missing wheat from their bins. Finally a detective was employed and he discovered the cause. Five colored boys pried open a win dow of the elevator, crawled through, each carrying a sack, filled the sacks with wheat from the bins, and slipped away with it. The detective, barefoot, followed the youngsters, found where they hid the wheat, and traced them to homes of prominent people in that part of the city, where the wheat was sold to women for 25 cents a bushel, the women buying it to feed to chick ens. The boys. Dewey Davis. Holsey Dav is, Harold McCalep and Lloyd Gothard, gave the names of women who bought the stolen wheat. Officer R. O. Slayton, of the Juve nile court, is getting evidence against grown people who have been buying stolen goods from boys. G. A. R. TO ENDORSE SMITH.
