PEACE ISA FACT After Six Months' War and Weeks of Parleying The Document Bringing Quie tude to Mexico Is Signed. BY LIGHT OF MATCHES And on the Steps of the Custom House at Juarez The Commissioners Affix Their Signature to Document. Juarez, Mex., May 22. Tranquillity of an officially declared variety, not unlike the quietude of the erstwhile general armistice, but possessing more of the normal atmosphere of real peace, reigns in northern Mexico to day for the first time in six months. K ire being flashed today over all wires and by courier to remote parts of the country announlnS last night a peace agreement definitely ended the hostilities between the revo lutionists and the federal gpver, mi ent- Undisguised Joy beamed in the face of Judge Carbajal, the federal peace envoy, today as he prepared to depart for Mexico City, his mission here being accomplished after nearly four weeks of parleys. Francisco I. Madero. jr., triumphant leader of the revolt sat In his house in the outskirts of the town, content and happy, receiving scores of congratulatory telegrams on the success of the movement he ini tiated. He will now await the resig-. nation of President Diaz, starting for Mexico City within a week, when it is expected to become an established fact. Senor Madero smiled this morning as he heard the story of how the peace agreement was signed last night. Along with their Joyous manifestations over the signing of the peace agreement, his callers told and retold of the hu morous sidelight that was thrown on the signing of a document calculated to have the most far reaching effect for Mexico. Francisco Madero, sr., had called on Judge Carbajal at Bl Paso about 9:30 o'clock last night and after a tedious half hour wait for Senor Pino Suarez, the party started for Juarez in a big automobile, thinking Senor Suarez I reviously had gone to the custom house here. When the peace automo bile, followed by three machines filled with newspaper men, dashed up to the custom house after 10 o'clock neither Senor Suarez nor any one else was there to receive them. The cus tom house door was safely barred by a huge grating. Signed on the Steps. Senor Suarez failed to appear and after a brief conference it was decided, as the document already had been drafted, to sign the pact on the steps of the building, agreeing to allow Senor Suarez to sign it today. There, under the stars, typewritten copies of the peace agreement were signed and exchanged while four automobiles on the opposite side of the street turned their glaring searchlights upon the custom house steps. The newspaper men contributed their hard pads and some matches and huddled together to keep the matches from being extin guished by the evening breezes. It was the elder Francisco Madero3 fountain pen that was used, and in watching the commissioners slowly scrawl their names under the agree ment, one of the bystanders forgot the burning match he held and nearly spoiled one of the signatures when he suddenly dropped the match while the pact was being signed. The commis sioners enjoyed the humor of the situa tion and declared that never was a peace treaty signed under more extra ordinary conditions. When it was all over, they embraced in true Spanish fashion, reaching over each others' shoulders and clapping the palms of their hands on their respective spines. The commissioners expressed great relief that the task for which they so long had labored had been accomplish ed without the introduction of dis agreeable conditions and without in juring the national prestige or dignity of their country. Gradual Disbandment. Though the peace agreement provides for the gradual dispersing of the troops, it is not believed any counter revolts or disturbances will occur. The object of the general disbandment of the insur rectos, it is explained, is to maintain for a short time a good fighting force by which to keep order among the small scattered bands who might feel inclined to disregard the peace agree ment. Trouble is anticipated with the rebels in Lower California. Though the Insurrectos there have never been al lied with the Madero movement the rebel chiefs here will send envoys or messages to Lower California, urging the acceptance of the conditions agreed upon here. Should they refuse an armed expedition which probably' will be led by Pascual Orozco, will be sent to subdue them. Senor Madero, in his victory feels that he will now be responsible for the restoration of complete tranquillity and will attempt to demonstrate that if he Is not in control of some bands ho least can subjugate them. Text of the Agreement. The agreement follows: "In the city of Juarez, on the 21 t day of May, 1911, at the customs house, Senor Don Francisco s r-i- jal. representing the government of "e"e'"' uiaz; jjr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez. Don Francisco Ma dero and Don Jose Maria Pino Suarez as the representatives of the revolu tionary forces, having gathered to treat about the method of effecting a cessation of hostilities in the entire national territory and considering- "1. That Senor General Porfirio Diaz has manifested his resolution of resigning the presidency of the repub lic before the end of the present month, and, cenL "2. That bona fide news is at hand that Senor Ramon Corrall will resign the vice presidency of the republic within the same period: and "3. That by the administration of Jaw, cyouKii. ridncisco Leon De La Barra, at present minister of foreign relations of the government of Senor Diaz, will assume for the interim the power of the executive of the nation and will call the general elections ac cording to the terms of the constitu tion; and, "4. That the new government will tudy the conditions of public opinion in the actuality to satisfy these condi tions with the provisions of the con stitution, and will come to an agree ment conducive to indemnifying the losses directly caused by the revolu tion, therefore, the two parties repre sented in this conference, In view of the previous considerations, have agreed to formulate the following agreement. "From today on, hostilities which have existed in the entire national ter ritory of the republic, shall cease be tween the forces of the government and those of the revolution, these forces to be dismissed in proportion as in each stete the necessary steps are taken to re-establish and guarantee tranquillity and public order.

FIVE SISTERS DIE. Fatal Explosion Follows Fining Lamp With Gasoline. Utica, Kan., May 22. Five daugh ters of Mr. and Mrs. Harve Roach, of this place, ranging in ages from 7 to 16 years, were burned to death Saturday night in a fire which started in the Roach restaurant. The parents were badly burned. The mother of the girls filled a lamp with gasoline by mistake. Pre paratory to ascending a stairway leading to the second floor room where her daughters were asleep, she applied a match to the lamp. An ex plosion followed, the fire being com municated to a two-gallon can of gasoline, sending a burst of flames up the narrow stairway to the children's bedroom. The woman's dress caught fire but the flames were extinguished by her husband, who had been asleep in an adjoining room. He rushed up the burning stairs and caught his youngest daughter, 5 years old. in his arms. Calling to the other girls to follow him and leap into his arms, he ran to a rear window and jumped to the ground the little girl safe in his arms. He stood -with upraised arms to catch the others as they Jumped, but for some reason they failed to follow him and a few minutes later, when another window waq broken into, the bedroom in which the girls slept was discovered to be a seething mass of flames. Half an hour later the bodies of the five giris were taken from their charred beds. All had died where they- lay. The dead are- BESSIE, aged 16. LEAH, aged 14. RtTTH, aged 12 HAZEL, aged 9.

Indications Are That Weather Will Continue Unsettled. A gentle rain began at an early hour this morning and continued till 9:30 Since Saturday there has been .77 nearly an inch of rain here. As a con sequence the farmers and gardeners In the vicinity of Topeka are rejoicing. The most encouraging feature of the reports is that the precipitation had been general over the state. The amount of rainfall recorded la Topeka Saturday afternoon was .02 of an inch; Saturday night .28 of an inch, and up to 2:30 o'clock today. 47 of an inch. The indications, according to the lo cal weather observer, are for threaten ing weather with probabe showers to night in the extreme east portion 'A the state; Tuesday fair. Rains Throughout State.

Rams through out this section Saturday and Satur day night revived hopes for the wheat crop, which was beginning to feel the effects of the dry weather. Traveling men, and especially those returning from the trade excursion of Wichita business men, say that the farmers ex pect a record breaking corn crop this year in southern Kansas, but that a 75 per cent wheat crop is about all that is anticipated. Oats, barley and alfalfa are in good condition, more al falfa being planted this year than usual. Farmers have found out its advantages as a forage and this is re sponsible for its popularity. In Butler county, hitherto devoted mostly to pasturing or corn growing, a new grain has found much favor. It is kaflr corn and hundreds of acres are being planted to it this year. Last season kaflr was planted to a consider able extent on the rather barren up lands of Butler county and good crops resulted. A brisk market was found for the grain as kaflr corn has scores of uses, chief among which are for the manufacture of breakfast food and whisky. A much larger crop has been planted this year and encouragement is being given the farmers by busi ness men in the county. Eldorado is planning a kaflr corn carnival, to be held some time in October. The price of upland in Butler county has in creased somewhat since it was found that kaflr corn could be grown there to such an extent. The season thus far has been favorable tc kaflr. Chanute, Kan., May 22. Two and one-half inches of rain fell here fol lowing the hottest day of the season, the temperature reaching 94 degrees. The rain was badly needed. Chlncn bugs and cut worms were damaging crops and much of the corn had dry rotted, withering under the hot rays (Continued on Page Eight.)

Prime Minister and His Son Are Badly Injured. MACHINE IS WRECKED The Aviator and His Companion Escape Unharmed. Accident Is Witnessed by Crowd of 200,000 People. Paris, May 22. France paid a terrible toll Sunday for her magnificent endea vor to attain supremacy of the air when a monoplane, the driver of which had lost control, plunged into a group of cabinet members who had gathered to witness the start of the race from Paris to Madrid, killing the minister of war and injuring the prime minis ter, his son and a well known sports man. The Dead. HENRI MAURICE BERTEATJX. minister of war. The Injured. Antolne Emmanuel Ernest Monis, premier and minister of interior. Antoine Monis, son of the premier. Henri Deutsch de la Mourthe, aged patron of aeronautics, automobling and other sDorts. Many others of note had narrow es capes. The accident occurred on the aviation field of Issy-Les-Molienux, where 200,000 persons had gathered to see the start of the race. M. Train was piloting the monoplane. With him in the car was M. Bounier, a passenger. Neither was injured. The machine was wrecked. Minister of War Berteaux was .hor ribly mangled. The swiftly revolving propeller cut off his left arm which was found ten feet from the spot where he was struck; the back of his head was crushed in, his throat was gashed and the whole of his left side was lacerated.- Premier Monis was buried beneath the wreckage of the monoplane. He was taken out as quickly as possible and examined by surgeons, who found he had sustained compound fractures of two bones in the right leg, that his nose was broken, his face badly bruis ed and that there were bruises on the breast and abdomen. M. Deutsch and M. Monis were not seriously hurt. Among those who had narrow es capes from injury waa JVl. jepine, pre fect of police. Story of the Accident. Premier Monis and .Minister Bertaux and party arrived at the' aviation field about 6 o'clock in the morning, shortly after Roland Garros, M. Beaumont and M. Gibert had started in the race. The line of spectators bordering the flying field was being held rigid by sol diers, who, however, permitted the min isterial party and about 50 other per sons of distinction to walk across the field to where they could get a better view down the course and see the air men as they rose from the starting point. While the great assemblage cheered madly, the ministers saw Pierre Ved rine, who had been picked by many as the probable winner of the race, mount easily from the ground and head down the aerodrome, only suddenly to capsize and fall but emerge unhurt from the wreckage of his machine. Aviator Train, meanwhile, had taken his position at the starting line, levers in hand and with M. Bounier beside him. The breeze had been steadily freshen ing and the meterological observer in the Eiffel tower telephoned that his gauge showed a velocity of close to 30 miles an hour. Train, however, left the ground. As cending swiftly, he circled the field, curving round to the startling line and then flying down the course in the wind. At this moment it was observed by the commandant of the troops that the crowds were breaking the line for mation on one side of the feld, and he dispatched a troop of cuirassiers to get them back in order. The cuirassiers galloped across the field, breaking into double lines as they went. Train's monoplane here swooped to ward the earth under the impulse of an air flurry and it appeared as though the aviator was about to dash into the cavalry. The pilot's attention seemed (Continued on Page Eight.) WEATHER IS TOO COOL. Mercury Just Passes Sixty Mark This Afternoon. The weather is cool, but pleasant, after a succession of showers through out the morning. The total rainfall in the last twenty-four hours was .47 of an inch, making an aggregate of .77 of an inch since Saturday. "This is enough to soak the ground and do a lot of good," remarked "Sunny" Flora, the local weather observer, this afternoon. "Much needed rains" reads the report issued by T. B. Jen nings, section director this morning, "have been general in all parts of the district since Saturday morning. They have been heavy enough to soak the ground well in northern and es pecially northeastern Kansas, but only moderately heavy rains are reported from central and southeastern Kan sas and western Missouri." The wind is blowing fifteen miles an hour from the southwest. The hourly readings: 7 o'clock 50111 o'clock 55 8 o'clock 50 12 o'clock 56 9 o'clock .52 10 o'clock .55 1 o'clock 58 2 o'clock 61 IN JAIL FIVE MONTHS. Suspected Train Robbers Are Re leased Without a Trial. Ogden, May 22. Committing Mag istrate Murphy this morning ordered Bryan CHare and Victor Clore, who have been held in the county jail on the charge of robbing the Southern Pacific Overland Limited .train on January 2, last discharged, there be ing "no sufficient cause to believe the men guilty of the offense." O'Hare and Clore were arrested near Detroit, Michigan, .some weeks ago and extradited for trial. In the holdup of the train last Jan uary, William N. Davis, a porter was killed and another porter, A. N. Tay lor was wounded, dying from his wound in Chicago a few days ago. The latest development In the train robbery came this morning when an nouncement was made by the police department that they were investigat ing an alleged confession of a man known as "Texas" Hamilton, made through an intermediary that he planned the robbery which was exe cuted by two other men. Hamilton professed to desire to exonerate "Hare and Clore" and also expects a share of the $5,000 reward. TO BEGIN AT ONCE. Another Investigation of the Lorimer Senatorial Election Scandal. Washington, May 22. A prompt and sweeping inquiry into new charges against Senator Lorimer of Illinois, growing out of the investigation by the Illinois state legislature, was assured today when the regular Republicans decided to present in the senate late to day -resolution- calling -for the con duct of such an inquiry under the di rection of the senate committee on privileges and elections. The Demo cratic senators will support the resolu tion which will be a sub for the LaFol lette resolution naming a special com mittee of new senators to take up the inquiry. The Democrats held a caucus this morning and decided in favor of a resolution directing the inquiry by the regular senate committee. LaFollette had given notice that he would call up his resolution today. Mr. Dillingham, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, will intro duce the resolution agreed on today. It is probable the committee on elections will be directed to conduct the investi gation through a subcommittee. AIRSHIP IS LAUNCHED. England Builds One That Can Be Anchored on the Water. Barrow-In-Furness, Eng., May 22. Great Britain's first naval airship, the construction of which has been sur rounded by much secrecy, was suc cessfully launched here today and is now anchored behind wind screens erected in the harbor. The airship was christened the Mayfly. The air ship which is 502 feet in length is of the rigid type, with a blunt nose tapering to a pointed stern.

He Claims Topeka Firms Hare Formed a Combination. MUST SHOW BOOKS. Judge Dana Orders Officers to Appear in Court. Mayor Billard Is One of Those on List. John S. Dawson, attorney general, today brought suit in the Shawnea county district court to investigate the affairs of several Topeka ice companies, whom he claims have formed a combi nation for the violation of the anti trust laws. Dawson filed with Judge Dana a petition requesting subpoenas for a number of local Ice manufactur ers and to compel them to produce tha company's books and papers in court. Judge Dana ordered the clerk of the court to issue subpoenas for the men and set the hearing for 8 o'clock Satur day morning. Last week it was rumored that a number of local ice companies had en tered into an agreement whereby the price of ice to the consumers would be increased. Dawson declared that this move was in direct violation of the anti-trust laws and threatened to In terfere if the ice dealers did not re form. The ice men replied that the only increase in the price of congealed water was to the 10 pound purchasers, who had formerly received more than they paid for and were losing custom ers so far as the ice dealers were con cerned. In his petition Dawson recites that he has reason to believe that various persons, companies and corporations engaged in the sale and manufacture of ice in Topeka have formed an agreement whereby the price of Ice has been advanced and controlled to the injury of the buying public. He asked the court to order subpeonaa for the following persons and to com pel them to produce their books in court: Charles Wolff, Clyde M. Law rence, Vincent Kaczynski, R. F. Hod gins; W. F. Forbes, Robert Billard, J. B. Billard, E. D. Benner. Dawson was in consultation with Judge Dana for several minutes this morning. When he walked from the judge's chamber he had in his pockets the court's order to produce the men and their books and papers. These sub peonas were filed with the clerk of the district court and service was 1 Im mediately secured on the Interested parties. The ice men propose to fight the interference of the attorney general's office and expect to demonstrate to the court that they are not acting in viola tion of law. But Dawson is persistent. He declares that the small purchaser should have the same privileges as the larger consumeru and will try to make the naughty Ice men be good. There appears to be some pretty legal ques tions as to just what rights the Ice companies really have and the court will doubtless take a half holiday to lisen to interpretations of conflicting statutes. SLAUGHTER OF CHINESE. In Desperate Fight With Mexican Rebels at Torreon. Eagle Pass, May 22. In a desper ate fight between Mexican Insurrectos and Chinamen at Torreon, 225 China men were killed. This Information was received here today by Sam Wach, owner of the International ho tel at C. P. Diaz, across the river from here. Details of the reported slaughter have not reached here except that of the number of Chinamen killed were fifty of Wah's ranchmen. Wah has telegraphed the Chinese minister at Washington, asking for protection. Washington, May 22. The Chinese charge d'affaires at Mexico City has been instructed by the Chinese minis ter at Washington, who is also ac credited to the Mexican government, to make strngo representations to Mexico City the reported outrages against Chinese by revolutionists at Torreon.

Myall, assistant cashier of the Citzien's bank of Paris, an examination wnich was concluded last night disclosed a large shortage In his accounts. The shortage is said to be In excess of $40,000. ADVERTISING TALKS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN An advertising; agency man, a newspaper special represen tative and an advertising; man (the writer) met the other day at the suggestion of the agency man to talk over an advertising plan which he had submitted to a corporation. The agency man had suggest ed to the president of a corpor ation an advertising plan, a good one, which appealed strongly to him. He finally rejected it, how ever, on the theory that if he started to advertise, HE WOULD HAVE TO USE EVERY PAPER in the city, and he could not set -apart that much money for advertising.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1911. TAKETHELASTONE Topeka Downs Des Moines in Brilliant Contest. The Final Score Is Just Two to One. HAD BETTER OF SERIES Kaws Grabbed Two From the Lowly Iowans. Both of the Teams Play in Ex cellent Form. The Kaws 'won from the Des Moines aggregation again Sunday in a tight game, 2 to 1. The three games betwesn the two clubs of which the Kaws took two seem to show the teams in a class of their own. Bach flay the score was decided by one run and that one came mighty hard. The record, 9 to 8, 4 to 3 In 13 innings, and 2 to 1, came from i close playing by teams evenly matched. The Carbondale lad, Barney McGrath, mot to going Sunday for the first time this season and pitched a great game of ball. So did McKee, who has not seen much of the Western. The two battled along with honors about even and suf fered scores only on mishaps. Six Innings went past in a one, two three, sort of way. Interesting never theless. Des Moines had runners on' the bases in every Inning- and the Kaws looked warlike in the second. There Hopke hit and Crompton walked. But Breitenstein and Frambes both hit easy to the pitcher. Des Moines scored first. It happened In the seventh and all because McGrath hit "Bugs" Hersche, the milk chocolate kid, with a pitched ball. This fat phenom, rated the circus solly of the circuit, and expected to prove himself a pitcher, was playing second for Need ham who has an Injured wrist. He was lifted over to second when McKee sing led and then stretched it home when Curtis, who had walked twice, drove out a safe one through the third field. The Kaws painted up for a sortie and slipped out In a rush. Hopke bounded one to Colligan who fought it hand to hand until Hopke hove up on first. Then Eddie Crompton, who is diligently looking for his stride, clouted one In the noset driving it through second. Hopke went to third on the play and scored a moment later when the milk chocolate boy let Breitenstein on to take a peg at the plate. Crompton, who was safe on a steal of second by the grace of Shoemaker, scored alst. Frambes slamming one to left for the counter. The scoring wan completed in that seventh inning. The Boosters came back determined in the eighth but could not get on. Crompton, working in a reversed form from the day be fore, pulled a high one out of the sun for Mattlck. Breitenstein, got the next from Dwyer. Hafford cut Kores down on his third base ball. Topeka caused McKee a lot of trouble in the last of the eighth. Haftord swatted a fly to center left and tried to take second cm, it. He came within thq prostration zone for McKee but Curtis pegged to Hersche and cut him down. Then Whitney drove one through sec otid territory and Hopke swung onto a lively one. pumping it back to left. To peka seemed to have a new start but Curtis flew up Into the atmo and pulled It out. In the ninth, 'Dwyer sent his Irish In to hold a wake on the Kaw contingent and De Camp lit a candle by ramming the horsehide on the bean. He got away safe and stole the second sack. There he waited for his pals. Three of them came tip with their sticks but tho rotund Hersche missed three in a row, Bachant, the only Frenchman with a permit in the Irish camp, popped to Hopke, and McKee gave Breitenstein a chance to retrieve himself or one day last week. The pitcher lifted a high and long one to center which looked good for three bases and the tying run. Breitenstein ran as far as he had time said then Jumped. The actual distance on the run was not taken nor was his actual flight through the ambient atmo registered, but somewhere in the ex panse of space Breit met the ball and brought it down. No one waited to see If he was hurt when he fell, the gams iwbs over a real ball game. The- score: TOFTEKA. Players AB. R, H. P. A.

The primary cause of Rheumatism results from weak kidneys, constipa tion, indigestion, etc., forming impure accumulations in the system. These sour and ferment, causing uric acid, which is absorbed from the stomach and Intestines into the blood. This changes the circulation from a thick, rich fluid to a thin, acrid stream, depositing inflammatory matter into themus cles, nerves, and joints. The longer the blood is allowed to remain in this impure condition the more severe will Rheumatism become. Gradually the muscles harden and lose their elasticity, the joints begin to stiffen, and fre quently calculous deposits form knots at the finger joints. There is just one way to CURB Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of the uric acid poison. S. S. S., by removing every particle of the cause and PURIFYING the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. eliminates the uric acid because it is the greatest of all Mood purifiers. It filters out every trace of the sour, inflammatory matter, cools the acid-heated blood, furnishes the mate rial for multiplying the rich, nutritious corpuscles of the circulation, and by its fine tonic effects assists the system to rapidly overcome the effects of the disease.

Saturday's Victory a Brilliant One for Kaws. One of the greatest battles of the present baseball season was fought out at the local ball yard Saturday. No matter if it was a lightweight contest, it was a fast little go at that and lasted 18 rounds, Buchanan final ly getting a knockout. Buck battled Northrup, a Des Moines recruit with a good long wing and a noodle full of brains, every step of the way and each club got 9 hits. But Northrup offset Buck's strike outs with walks and that made a dou ble difference in their showing.

Another kaleidoscopic change in. the tangled situation here caused Manager Frank Isbell to take decisive action Saturday. At S o'clock the citizens of the town were expected to pay 3,000 on the $14,000 to be paid for the team. They did not do so and there did not appear to be any immediate chance of the money being raised. Isbell thereupon telegraphed to Puftblo accepting' the Pueblo offer f a bonus of 810,000. the team to be moved to that city Immediately. There la no other explanation for the situation than that the town is unable to sup port a Western league team and the citizens do not care to assume the cost of keeping the club here. Several loyal fans pledged themselves for all the money they could raise, but It was insufficient. Though Wichita fans regTet to lose Frank Isbell and his team, they never theless unanimously affirm that the former White Sox star is a "good fel low." One little thing which Isbell did before the team left here is alone enough ground on which to base this feeling. He could have claimed the $2,000 option money which Arthur Pauline had put up on the strength of securing $3,000 more by Saturday night. But Isbell did not claim It. He gave the check to Outfielder Belden, saying, "Tear it up, Pauline is too fine a fellow to lose that money." Belden tore the check to pteces. Isbell will refund the money to those persons having purchased boxes for the season. No effort will be made to get into lower class league and it is be lieved that the fans will be ready enough to support a Western league team by next year should the oppor tunity present itself to acquire one. BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP. WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW. Topeka at Sioux City. Pueblo at Des Moines. Denver at St. Joseph. Lincoln at Omaha. Today Is another off day in the West ern league. It has happened. Wichita did not show the recuperative powers Topeka had. Isbell has taken his club to Pueblo and hereafter it will play under the new name but continue in the same schedule. When the J911 Season open ed, the league looked sound In its eight club entirety. Topeka, after the dis astrous season of 1910 looked like the weakest spot but the business men saved it. Des Moines Seemed to be slipping but there was no fear for the stability there. Topeka people came to the aid of the business men who ven tured their money In the franchise and even though the teanuis playing losing ball, the attendance Is about the best in the league.- Wichita people with a winning team would not support it and Isbell was losing money so fast he was forced to de something to save himself. The loss of Wichita in the Western league leaves the burden of upholding Kansas in the baseball world upon To peka. With the two clubs in a class A league, the state boasted of two live sport towns which could support teams in that high class. When the two broke ino the Western, making it an eight club circuit, the prospects were excel lent for them retaining their positions. The fate of Wichita is something In the way of a warning to Topeka. This town is not too solidly established right now. The good attendance makes a very favorable outlook, however, and the management under such conditions even with a losing team, has every thing to gain and nothing to lose. They intend to strengthen wherever possible and ought to better the standing of Topeka in the league as the season progresses. 1 -.4 -v. It Is the generaf impression of the club owners in the Western league that Pueblo will make a good town for thi circuit. Like St. Joseph they have had a lesson in once losing their franchise and with increased population and greater prosperity,; th,p. attendance rea sonably can be expeeted to be im proved. McGill and Hehdrix at Denver will welcome the advent of another Colorado city as -the 'greatest piece of good fortune as It will give them a stronger say in the league's affairs. Perhaps with Pueblo behind him McGill next season will get what he wants in the schedule meeting. The stop at Pueblo may be considered an advant age to the visiting clubs who otherwise jumped to the eastern end again. The Topeka team leaves tonight to play return games with those clubs Which haVA bften ihera nn tlia noa at home. Sioux City comes first, thun St. JoseDh. Tina VTnlnaa anA Two games only are slated for Omaha June 1 and 2. The club returns to To peka Juno 3 with Sioux City for the first guests. The joker in the Des Moines pack is the rotund Hersche person, the "Milk Chocolate product." like other comedians he has a specialty and his is a frog call. The fans in the stands tried to imitate but without even slight success. "Bugs" has a patent on it. Dwyer had him on second base Sunday although he is a pitcher by trade. When the rooters could not imitate his speci alty they started to place the pun on it. "That frog ought to be good after flies, put him in the field," they yelled. "Say Bill, you can play that frog only on wet days, can't you?" sug-- gested by the wet day. Where's his tank. Dwyer? Don't you have to carry a tank for him?" "I think he's calling for a tank of suds. Bill." "You're right," slung back Bill, "ana ir he had it he d show you what to do with it." Then Hersche got a single something he wouldn't think of if working in the box. "Come on Louie, (to Bachant) get one like I did." he called. "Get you a little red flannel,. Whitney, and you can keep 'frog' on first all day," some one came back at him. Later he got somebody out at first and throwing up both hands emitted that comic specialty. EVERS GOES TO CHICAGO.

Influence of Harriman and Rockefellers. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World, One of the most inexplicable arrange ments in connection with the express business of the United States, and one probably disclosing an unexpected sit uation, is that existing between the principal Gould railroads and the Wells Fargo Co. Express. Beginning July 1, the Wells Fargo Co. Express will dis place the Pacific Express company on the Missouri Pacific, the St. Louis, Iron Mountain Southern, the Texas Pa cific and the Wabash. The significance of this understand ing can only be realized when it is con sidered the Wells Fargo Co. Express is controlled, according to common in formation, by the Harriman and Rock efeller interests, while the Pacific is dominated by the Gould lines. The Missouri Pacific, it is understood, holds 40 per cent of the Pacific Express stock and the Wabash 20 per cent, making 60 per cent for these two Gould lines. The remaining- 40 per cent of the stock is owned by the Union Pacific. The Gould and Harriman lines own the Pacific Express, control resting- with the Gould railroads. The announcement that the Wells Fargo Co. Express would in July supersede the Pacific Express on the Missouri Pacific, the Iron Mountain, the Wabash and the Texas Pacific, caused the utmost surprise in railroad circles. Although it was surmised the Wells Fargo Co. Express had ac quired control of the Pacific Express. tne explanation given was tnat the Wells Fargo concern had obtained the contract with th fJnnM lines hv vlrtno of strenuous competition. HE DIDN'T WEAR IT HIMSELF. J. D. M. Hamilton and His Embar rassing "Safety Button" Experience. They are telling- a good story on J. D. M. Hamilton, claims attorney of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe at Topeka. Mr. Hamilton is the man who originated and fathered the famous Get the safety habit" button on the Santa Fe a button that is worn by 100,000 employees today. Not long ago the Santa Fe Em ployees' Magazine wanted a picture of the group of general officers of the company in Topeka. There are nearly fifty of these men and they were ar ranged out in front of the general of fice building. They included J. R. KoJhtz, the chief of the publioity bureau and general freight agent; C. F. W. Felt, the chief engineer; R. J. Parker, the general superintendent; C. W. Kouns, the gen eral manager and the "Chesterneld of the road: E. L. Copeland, the Secre tary and treasurer H. W Jacobs, the assistant superintendent of motive power, and J. M. Connell. the general passenger agent. After these digni taries had been given chairs in the front row with the other officers re flecting their light arranged on the steps above them and the photogra? pher was all ready to give the "little birdie" talk there was a disturbance in the second row. "Hi, there, wait a minute!" was the cry. Out sprang J. D. M. Hamilton. Run ning up the steps he disappeared in the building. Thn officials looked at each otner. "What is the matter?" they asked. He forgot to straighten out his neck tie," was one explanation. "Do you suppose hehas deserted us?" inquired another. While the surprised officials were still discussing the matter the claims attorney came running down the steps from the building with nis nat in nis hand. The hat was filled with shining but tons. They were the "Get the safety habit" badges. For fifteen minutes with the pho tographer waiting patiently and the officials sweating under the hot sun, Mr. Hamilton pinned these buttons on the coat lapels of the officials. "All right let 'er go," came the cry at last and the safety man dodged back in his place. Snap! The picture was taken. A few days later the first proof of the picture was sent to the general officers. A bunch of the officials were looking at It in the office of the gen eral manager. gay how about this!" exclaimed Mr. Kouns. What does this mean?" and he pointed to the coat lapel of J. D. M. Hamilton. The officers looked. There was no sign of a safety habit" button there. NEW TICKET AGENT TRICK. How "Shadow Game" Is Practiced Over the country. New York, May 22. The station was deserted but for one man who seemed absorbed in a newspaper, says the Sun. The ticket agent was appar ently thinking of things far away as he deftly juggled coins on the glass plate under the bars of his cage. The next morning the man with the newspaper was seeming to read it in another station and the ticket agent of the day before was hunting a Job. He had been summarily dismissed. The man with a newspaper was a detective. The ticket agent had been practicing to win facility In working the shadow game, hence his dismissal. -What's the shadow game? A new trick said to have originated in the brain of a Boston subway ticket seller and to have been taught to the other ticket sellers over the country, and this is how it is worked: The ticket agent arranges a strip of cardboard or black paper so that It leaves the space directly under the change slot brightly illuminated, but casts a deep shadow upon the plate iuat to the left. Then he practices till he acquires sufficient dexterity to pass out half a dozen coins; make one of them stop wen over unaer the shadow and bunch the others un der th bright light About one person in four will fail to see ths nickel or dime in the shad ow, and in his haste to get a train will not miss it till it is too late to return. If he does come back the coin is there for him to pick up and he sees no cause to complain. If he does not return the ticket seller adds one more coin to his income. 1 Some men are said to be bo adept il V v -ga-S'vjfefi vveunesuay anu oaturuay catting the bread.

Rush of Travel Due on Western Railroads. Lincoln. Neb.. May 22. Railroad men are looking forward to the month of June with considerable in terest, because the annual bulge in passenger business is due them. To care for it western roads are now re vising their time cards, adding ser vice and getting ready for heavier business later on. Nearly ail western roads will put their summer sched ules in force on May 28, and rates then in effect and soon after to be made effective are expected to fill their trains. In June most of the colleges and universities end their terms. The movement of student and school people. Koine-to their homes and to their vacation fields, would mean a bulge in business without the usual vacation business, but when to bocn these is added the movements to conventions east and west the vol ume sometimes adds a heavy strain on the passenger carrying capacity of some western roads.

Julius Krutschnitt,' director of maintenance and operation for the Southern Par ciiic and Union Pacific railroads, an nounced upon his arrival In San Fran cisco that plans were being made to have both roads double-tracked be tween Chicago and San Francisco by 1915. "The indications are that the pas senger traffic westward during the Panama-Pacific exposition will eclipse all past records," said Mr. Krutschnitt. That, of course, is one or tne main reasons for double-tracking the Har riman lines from Chicago to the Pa cific coast.

"That is something I can't talk about at present," said Krutschnitt. "The company is not ready to take the public into its confidence on that mat-' ter." ADVERTISING TALKS. (Continued from Page One.) When the agent asked why he thought this was necessary, the president said: "If we didn't use every paper, those we left off the list would immediately denounce and criti cise us." The idea of giving advertis ing to newspapers to STOP CRITICISM is absurd in these enlightened days. Newspapers criticise things that deserve criticism, AS A MATTER OF DUTY to the public not be cause they do not get advertis ing from the firms they criti cise. If a corporation starts to ad vertise with the idea that by doing so, it RESTRAINS PA PERS FROM PUBLISHING FACTS about it, then It had better not advertise at all. But if it wants to advertise, the way to do it is to go at it in a BUSINESS-LIKE MANNER, just as any individual or mer chant would go at it viz., SE LECT SUCH PAPERS AS ARE READ BY THE PEOPLE THE CORPORATIONS WANTS TO REACH and in accordance with the amount it is decided to spend. Then, if the campaign proves successful, add other papers from time to time. If I were running a corpora tion, I would REPRINT EVERY CRITICISM IN AN ADVER TISEMENT, and alongside of the criticism I would PRINT MY ANSWER THERETO; then let the people judge. The people can be depended upon to decide fairly between unjust criticism and facts and corporations can reach the peo ple through the advertising col umns of the daily newspapers. (To be continued.

Mrs. Lena Merrill Lewis, national so cialist organizer from California, said that the present vocational methods were reactionary and many things which were being taught, such as the use of the sewing machine, which would be supplanted in the "next gener ation as was the spinning wheel in this.

C. Mannen, about 3 o'clock Saturday. They have not been seen since that time. Bruce Mannen, Aged 1-1. News of the disappearance of -the two boys was reported Sunday alter noon to the police and sheriff's office. At first it was believed that the boys had run away, but late yesterday aft ernoon Sheriff Norton decided to drag the river for the bodies. The boys- mother is prostrate with grief. She is sure the boys are at the bottom of the river, near which the Mannens live. Two motor boats were obtained to day and equipment for dragging the river was taken to the AUDurnaaie ais trict. Neighbors who have assisted in the search for the missing boys since late Saturday evening reportea again this afternoon and are helping with the work. Mannen, Khorriv aftpr noon Saturday trre two boys asked permission of their parents to, go to the river. They were told to stay at home. An hour later the boys disappeared. They were hat Ipss. barefooted and wore only over' alls and shirts. Their absence did not worry the parents until evening, when the children did not report for sup per. The mother's anxiety caused Mannen to notify his neighbors, who spent the night searching for the boys. No one in the Auburndale district has seen the lads since early Saturday aft ernoon and since noon Sunday the fear that the young men are in the river has increased. Mannen and his family live at 166 Corey street, in Auburndale. On num erous occasions the boys have gone to the river to fish or swim.

An expert on the Sherman anti-trust law declares that all the talk about "unreasonableness" which was injected br JuxUca Whit In the decision in the Standard Oil case does not make the law of the land in this particular.

All possible support should be given by- every one--to the activity of the parks', committee of the Commercial club in urging the" eft commissioners to levy a special tax for next year of a full mill Sor the. maintenance, an4 de velopment of the park system. Such a levy is permitted under a inew law which., was passed by the legislature It was needed .legislation. For Topeka and other cities- in "Kansas have been handicapped In, the development of ade quate parks- because of" the' smallness of the sum the law permitted them to use annually for such a purpose. Under such a levy Topeka would have an annual park '.fundi -approximating $50,000. It is proposed that three-quarters of thip sum be- devoted to the maintenance and the Improvement of the pafks and the remaining one-fourth to the acquisition qf hew, park property. With such a maintenance fund some real progress could be made in mak ing the Topeka parks -all that they should be. And the other fund for in creasing the size of existing parks or acquiring hews one -would be. suffi cient spread over a few years, to pro vide all the park facilities that Topeka will need for many years to come. The time to increase the park system of Topeka Is now while the city is grow ing, when suitable park sites well with in the city limits or just on their out skirts can be obtained at reasonable figures. When a city's limits are com pletely, filled up and its outskirts are cut up into suburban tracts it is then too late for it to go into the park making business. It is too late to lo cate parks that will be easily acces sible to the people. And many of the larger cities in the country have found this out to their sorrow. Wonders have been done in the devel opment and improvement of the city parks during the past few years with the money that has been available but they are far from being as attractive and as convenient as they might be made. One of their chief defects ia the paucity of seats with which they are equipped. Seats are even more neces sary in a city's parks for the comfort and convenience of the people who en joy them than are flower beds and fancy shrubs. With the fund that a mill tax levy would provide, it would be possible before long to provide all the seats needed in each of the parks, where at present there are practically none. AFTErTthE FLY. WHAT? Just about this time of the year there are many injunc lions in the public press to "swat the fly," with a promise of the most direful results if this warning be not followed. But few people know much, about, ,,the real truth of the fly question, beyond the fact that the house-fly is a carrier of the germs of certain diseases, such as typhoid fever, intestinal disorders And tuberculosis: There is, however, an; other side to the question and some of the greatest entomologists on the North American continent discuss it in the June number of Popular Mechan ics Magazine. The following question is raised: "If the fly be exterminated, suppos ing that were possible, would it tend to uDset the "balance of nature' ana re sult in some other plague that might be even worse than the flies them selves?" And It Is argued: "Similar things have happened be fore. The decimation of the coyotes resulted in a plague of gophers. The mongoose was practically exterminated and the rats multiplied so as to be come a menace. The weasels were killed off and the rabbits overran the countryside and ate up every green thing in sight. The English sparrow was imported to destroy the measur ing worm and now people are won dering how to kill off the sparrow, which has increased so alarmingly as to become a pest. In northern China the wolves kept down the marmot or land otter, but when the natives waged war on the wolf the marmot increased and spread the plague." A CITY'S TOMi ON CHILDREN. An examination of the pupils In the Lincoln school by capable physicians has disclosed the fact that one out of every seven of them is defective in either vision or hearing. It is reason able to assume that about the same proportions in this particular prevail in the other schools. And it is also reasonable to assert that this impair ment of two of the important senses of the children is due in the main to the environments of city life. At least, this is an opinion that has been expressed in the premises by ex perts. They have pointed out that the range of vision of the city child from the time it is old enough to be about and stirring and when its deli cate organs of sight are developing fast is seriously limited. It is gener ally bounded by the width of the city streets. A child, toddling to a win dow, or playing out in front of its home, can only see as far as the build ings across the street. This has a tendency among the weaker children of handicapping the development of the optic nerves to their full strength. Hence these children grow up with weak eyes. So, too, in the matter of hearing. The incessant noises in a city have a decided propensity to blunt the t.ei sibilities of the aural organs of younjj children, and especially among those who are not physically robust. In bigger cities than Topeka, metro politan centers, where greater con gestion prevails, where the streets are narrower, the houses closer together in residential sections, and all build ings of a much greater average height, the proportion of school children who are defective in sight and hearing, is considerably larger.. Condition in this respect in Topeka," therefore, might be. worse. And while the show ing In Lincoln school may surprise some people exceedingly. It is nothing out of the ordinary throughout the cities of any size alt over the country. Indeed, by comparison with similar conditions In other and "larger cities, Topeka's showing may be set down .is an excellent one. This is one of the regrettable pen alties of the advantages of city life. And It might be used as another good argument to stimulate the "back to the farm" movement.

Thera are many of them evident at present and the new hatched generation will soon be far enough advanced to become destructive to the crops if no hard rain or other check appears to stop it. There has been a disposition on the part of many of the so-called "practi cal farmers" to scorn the work that is being done annually by the experts employed by the state In the State Ag ricultural college. The experts gave ample warning last fall of the presence of the chinch bug In the bunch grass over various sections of the tate. The college experts advised the im mediate burning of the bunch grass by the farmers. The instructions were only weakly complied with and if the wheat of Kansas suffers a big loss from bugs this year, the Kansas farmers will have themselves to blame for the disaster. It is to be hoped that Kansas' will escape much of the danger which, just now, appears to be imminent. If not. there will be one good example for the farmers to profit by next year. Otta wa Herald. POOR SPELLERS THE RULE. The last issue of the Industrialist, published by the Agricultural College has a vigorous indictment of our pres ent school system, though it was prob ably not intended that way. It con sists of several hundred more or less common words which were misspelled by the students at that institution. The point in this is that there is not enough attention paid to the .essentials of a business education in our schools today and entirely too much time wasted on non-essentials. It would have been thought a disgrace by the ordinary common school pupil of twenty years ago to have missed such words as these: recommend, bouquet, separate, accommodate, Wednesday, prisoner, miscellaneous, rheumatism, etc., and yet this was done by the High School graduates now attending the Agricul tural College. What do the teachers of the schools mean by letting pupils get out of the" eighth grade with no better spelling ability than this? Val ley Falls Farmers' Vindicator.

FROM OTHER PENS WOULD HIT A LADY? One boy in Altou the other day whip ped another. The father of the boy whipped .then whipped- the whipper. The latter obtained a broomstick and attacked the man. After being struck an unexpected blow, the object of the attack administered another castigation to the boy. Then appeared the mother of the twice-whipped boy, wearing a long cloak, under which she carried a riding whip. Meeting the man who had "punished'' her boy, she drew forth her weapon of attack and proceeded tj administer blow after blow on his head. That head became excited. The ex citement communicated itself to the man's arm and fist. The latter extend ed Itself in quick and blackening force upon the region of the woman's near eye. Bystanders interfered. At pres ent a sort of armed neutrality exists, the woman meantime- complaining bit terly against the lack of gallantry dis played by the man. "No gentleman," she says, "would hit a lady." Which, abstractly speaking. Is true enough. Still, allowance must be made, some time, for sudden and perhaps un avoidable excitement. Chicago Journal: FINE POINTsTnVOLVED. Organization of a labor union by the postal railway clerks would be a public peril, says the second assistant post master general. He modifies this gen eral statement by particularizing his objections to the proposed organiza tion. The objections are that this union would exclude officers and su pervisors of the department, hold 'se cret meetings, employ secret pass words and refuse to permii depart ment heads to take part in its delib eration. The question presented Is similar to that which confronted the French gov ernment in the recent strike among the employees of the state telegraph and postal services. The right to unionize a governmental service in volves the right to strike, and it is a serious question whether this should be permitted under any condition. A strike In the army would be mutiny, and probably a strike among police men and firemen would also be thus regarded. A strike on a privately owned railroad was suppressed by force at Chicago some vears ago be cause It obstructed the United States mails. Philadelphia Record. REGULATING LOGROLLING. Wisconsin proposes to make logrolling a felony by prohibiting any member of the legislature to agree to vote for or against any bill in consideration of some other member agreeing to vote for or against any other bill. It goes further by also prohibiting a member of the legislature to agree to vote for or against a bill in consideration that the governor vetoes or signs any bill or appoints or removes any one from public office. The penalty for persist ing in logrolling or vote trading In vi olation of the law ia a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment not -exceeding three years. It is easily conceivable that with Such a law in force revolution would ensue in all our legislative bodies, for mighty few measures are .written on the statute books except through the agency of vote swapping. No member of a legislature in ms right mind would, under ordinary circumstances, deliber ately swap himself 4nto the peniten tiary in order to swap a bill through. Unfortunately, it takes two to make a trade, and if both are equally guilty, neither will be likely to furnish the evidence to convict the other. Omaha Bee. GRANDMOTHER'S GARDEN.

THE EVENING STORY When the Curtain Rose. By Virginia Blair. It seemed to John Austin that he was r in fairyland. It was his first glimpse of that glittering"- world of which he had heard so much.- All his life he had lived among the pines, far back in a sandy country. This morning he had come to the city and had sought the theater. Even before the curtain was up he realized that the beauty of the place was beyond his wildest dreams. At last he was going to see the things that were worth while. He read over the names on the pro gram idly; He knew nothing of vaude ville, but there seemed much of prom ise in the headliners. When the curtain rose, therefore, he gave a little gasp of rapture. The stage was a bower of beauty; there were roses everywhere. And Into this bower of beauty came the strolling players. The man carried a violin and the woman a tamborine. There was much scarlet, satin in their costumes, and the red in the woman's cheeks was not that of nature; They sang and played and danced, and the audience applauded highly. (There was a touch of gypsy wildness about the girl which caught the fancy of the people. John applauded with the rest, but in the back of his mind was a question which took away from the complete abandon of the moment. "Where have I seen her before?" The band played taster and the music became wilder. Up and down the stage went the little scarlet figure. The man with the violin was in the background. All at once the bow crashed against the strings harshly, as without a sound, the girl threw up her hands and fell to the floor. The curtain went down, the lights flared up, a team of- Jugglers took the front of the stage, and everything went on as before. But John Austin saw nothing; for he was saying over and over to himself. "It's Mary!" They had been to school togther. he and Mary Morrison. She had been a wild little thing in those days, the daughter of parents who lived in a shanty in the pine forest. She had known all about the birds and the bees and the butterflies. She had taken him to the places where the wild flow ers bloomed earliest, and together they had -waded in little brown- streams and had caught minnows in the quiet pools. She had been a. wonderful little thing, binding him to her by her vivid admiration of his strength, ana her dependence upon his pure affec tion. When they had grown older, he had gone to college, and she had drift ed to one of the large towns. He had heard that her parents were dead, and that she was alone. And now he had found her 'In fairy land, and she was ill." and there was no one but that strange scarlet violin player to take care of her. He felt that he must see her and find out what had happened. John waited at the stage door ana presently a hack drove up a shabby affair drawn by a dilapidated horse. Supported by two stage hands, Mary came out, transformed by a large coat and shabby hat into a very different! creature from the one who, with red j cheeks and in scarlet satin, had danced amour the roses. With her was a somewhat stouter woman, whose face seemed vaguely familiar. In a mo-; mont it came to John where he had seen her. She was the violin player of the team. Her masculine garments had been a disguise, and now wnen her short-haired wig was off she showed gray locks. Half afraid to approach them, John at last summoned up his courage. "Mary!" he said. The pale little girl looked at him. "You," she gasped, "why, John Austin!" "Let me go home with you," he begged. "I saw you fall and I was worried about you." She introduced, him to her com panion, and explained, as they rode away together, that Maggie Trevor had befriended her through all the days of struggle. "Did you' like our stunt?" she asked John. His eyes sparkled. "It was fairy land, I have never seen anything likp it. I have never seen anything but sand and pines." "Oh," she threw out her arms In a gesture of longing, "how I should love to see the sand and pines. I hate the city, John Austin." "Would you like to go back?" he asked eagerly. "How could I go? There Is nothing back there for me. I earn my living by my dancing." "I am going to sell my farm and come here, it's great." "You think so," she told him, "but you don't know. Why, John Austin. I'd rather scrub and wash dishes back among the pines than to live the life I live." "It's what she has gone through," said the older woman to John. "Every now and then she has these spells. The doctor says it is the excitement. Yet it is the only thing he can do. We make a pretty good team together, but I ain't got any talent. It's her dancing that carries us through, and if she stops we stop, and there is only the peorhouse ahead of us." The hack drove up to the curb as she spoke. Before them was a tall, rickety tenement. John and the hack mam carried Mary up the dark stair way. The little room that they entered was a square box of dimness, "It's the best we can do." Mary said, as John laid her. on the bed, "we have got to save- a little. If I should be sick." "You'll feel better when you have a cup of tea and a little supper," .said Maggie. Then she turned to John: l ain't got much to offer you, but I wish you'd stay. Maybe you can cheer Mary up. She won't be able to go on tonight, and she'll be afraid of losing her job." "If I am not in the way," John said. Mary -shook- her head. "I'll try to sleep a little, she told him, "and,ynj and Maggie can get supper In the oth er room." The other room was a tiny place with a gas stove, a kitchen tablo and two plain chairs as its only furnish ing. Outside of the window was a box, and upon investigation Maggie found that it contained nothing to eat but a loaf of bread, a "very small pieco cf cheese and an infinitesimal bit of but ter. "You let me run out and get some thing." he said, eagerly, and, in spite of Maggie's feeble protests, he sped down the stairs and up the street. He had never been In this part of the city before. His day's experience had shown him only the bright and brilliant thoroughfares, and he knew nothing of the slums. But now the sordldness and suffering of it came to him wtih full force. And then and there he made a vow: he would take Mary Morrison back with him. It was a feast that he a.n.d Macri. set forth on the table. Mary, in a pale pink wrapper, was radiant. The quiet hour rested her, and the companionship of her old school friend was like a tonic. Maggie ate steadily through the menu, perfectly content with Provi dence which had brought this good angel in a moment of need. ,In the middle of the feast a note came for Mary. She opened It and dropped back in her chair with a little cry. "The manager has written that I must go on this evening or lose my job." "You can't go on feeling this way," said Maggie. "You sha'n't go on," said John Aus tin. Mary rose wearily. "I've got to an swer it and say "yes Maggie and I can't live on nothing." "You give me that pencil," said John Austin. Then on the back of the nota he wrote two lines in his strong masculine scrawl. He handed it back to Mary. "Read that to Maggie," he said, and the girl, flushing to the roots of her hair, fal tered forth, "Miss Morrison leaves to morrow for her old home, hence will not appear in future on any stage." "But I can't leave," Mary protested, "I've got my living to think of apd Maggie's." John stood up. He felt very strong and manly and competent. "I have a big house down there," he said, "and I live alone in it. There is room for more than you and Maggie, and I have a big farm that supplies money for anything that I choose to do, and you are going back there and be happy. I used to call you my little wife, Mary, when we went to schol together; why can't we make that dream come true?" Maggie retired Into the other room. This was better than vaudeville en gagements, and the precarious exist-' enoe of a team. "Shall I take the note down to the boy?" she called from her retreat, and from the other room came Mary's ex ultant, "Yes." (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) A Too Conservative Socialist. -We are astonished at the moderation of Victor Berger, Socialist representa tive in congress from the Milwaukee district. Mr. Berger desires to abolish the United States senate, deprive the president of the veto power, and strip the federal courts of the authority to invalidate legislation enacted by the house of representatives. These tri fling changes in the United States gov ernment are to be brought about- by an amendment to the constitution, which. If petitioned for by S per cent of the voters in the several states, shall be- submitted to a general referendum... Mr. Berger is too conservative. The thing to do is to establish the initia tive and referendum and recall. Then the house of representatives will be as superfluous as the senate. All laws that are needed can be initiated by petition and adopted by the referendum. No president would dare veto anything, and if the courts meddled the judges could be recalled. The constitution is a reactionary document, that was framed before Oklahoma was even United States ter ritory. It was written by a delegate from New York, which fact alone should damn It in the eyes of every progressive statesman. Why tolerate it at all? New York WTorld. Happy Days 'in Dixie.

A man Is never so willing to do the fair thing as when he gets in a hole. Yes, Alonzo, there are people who cannot be flattered. Cemeteries are full of 'em. The proof of the pudding is n the amount, left over after the small boy gets all he wants. Many an innocent young man has been misled by the helpless way a summer girl baits a fish hook. The one thing a man regrets about getting Into a foolish flirtation is his inability to get out of it creditably- Dyspepsia develops a state of mind which causes people to doubt the wis dom of eating certain things, but which seldom prevents their doing so.

Mr. Justis Says More Apply for Baths Than Any Other Class. "The only solution of a difficult prob lem, in my opinion," said Guy T. Justis, secretary of the Provident association, Sunday night, in speaking before th young people of the First Congrega tional church on Social Conditions n Topeka," "is to pension the mothers. The greatest trouble we have is Jn connection with the mother who of necessity must work in the daytime and allow her children to ruh on the streets. Sixty per cent of the reform school children are of this class. "Comparatively speaking, we have not a great many foreigners in Topeka, but in the last two or three years a large number of Russians have come to the city. In what is called 'Little Russia' on the North side there are about sixty families of this type. There are a good many Germans in the shops district, and they are char acterized by their industry, but there is one bad feature about them they seem to think they must liave their beer and even whisky, and they often become in toxicated. "Another foreign element Is coming in in increasing numbers the Mexi-.. cans. I have found that they ar.' cleanly as a whole, and more of them apply at the Provident association for' baths than any other class of people. On Saturday nights they line up for Datns apout six or seven deep. Their great failure is. however, that they seem to want to live several families in a single house. It is hard to do effec tive work among the colored people. The schools do much for them." SIX HOUSES IN A ROW RAIDED. Police Find Liquor in Only Three of Them.

Beasely'S house at 306. A rug con cealed the trap door but the copper knows all about those things. At Green Watson's 319, 20 cold bottles were jerk ed right off the ice. Beasely and Watson were both taken to the police station where they gave bond. Heitman was sick in bed so the police allowed him to remain there.

This morning James Mur phy and 81 others filed proceedings in Judge Dana's court to enjoin the coun ty commissioners from building an oil road from the industrial school to Te cumseh and also to compel the com missioners to fulfill their contract and build a roe It road. Work on the oil road was started last week. When the proceedings were taken before the court today. Judge Dana granted a temporary restraining order which will tie up the job until the trouble is definitely decided. Last fall the commissioners promis ed the Tecumseeites a rock road. There was a string tied to the promise. Te cumseh was to grade the road and make preliminary preparations. It did this and more. Happy Tecumseh even prom ised a large amount of rock. About $800 was spent to repair the road. Then the commissioners ordered an oil road. Tecumseh's righteous indination knew no bounds. More than 100 strong, it went before the commissioners. Those farmers said things that gave the com missioners, a headache. The agricul turists wanted a rock road or noth ing. The commissioners testified the district would get nothing. As evi dence of good faith, meek and modest Tecumseh went home satisfied. But the commissioners changed their minds. They let the contract for an oil noad and intimated the patrons could travel an oil road or stay at home. But Tecumseh vows it will do neither. It rises to ask the court if a promise by the county commissioners is-not as sacred and binding as that of an individual and if public offices are created to deceive the public. This rock road is a grave matter in Tecumseh. The farmers point wun Bi-orn to the rough and rocky nign wav and comnlain bitterly of their mis treatment. They want the court to in terfere and tell the commissioners nhoro to oret off. James Murphy and the SI others have raised a fund to prosecute the case. J. J. ocoenti. hn ha heen employed by the rural- Jsts stated that the farmers meant business. They will have none of the oil road. They want the original article or nothing. When notice was served on the coun ty commissioners today to the effect that Judge Dana had granted a tem porary restraining order in the case, they said things about the Tecumsen farmers that will offset a few of the remarks issued from Tecumseh con cerning the commissioners. The com missioners declare they will build the oil road whether Tecumseh does or does not want It. 'I would like to know who these roads belong to. anyway," expostulated Commissioner Sims as he glared at the mandate from the court.' "It somehow strikes jne that we can build any kind of a road we want to and it's no one's business." But the court's order reads different Iv. For the present at least Tecumseh lias the big end of the score. Edwin O'Neill admitted that the board had made a xlight mistake. "I went to the county attorney Sat urday." said O'Neill, "and asked him to bring proceedings to stop those peo ple from interfering, but he wouldn't do It. Now. the job is tied up." The oil road contractor was in the room when papers in the case were served. He sighed audibly when he was told to stop work. Evidently the contractor is in a hurry to finish thi Job. J. J. Schenck, who represents the plaintiffs, will go to Jackson county this week to try a murder case and it will be several days before Judge Dana will make final disposition of the in junction.

Clyde Fraze Arrested When Stork Arrive-; at Homo No. 2. Kansas City, Mo., May 22. When Mrs. Eva Fraze, 2 2 years old and pret ty, picked up a copy of a Burlington, Kan., newspaper on a street car in Kansas City, Mo., last January, little did she think that anything of inter est to her would be found in it. But ehe glanced from the editorial pa?, through the want ads. and finally to the wedding notices her eyes found a "story," which led to her husband's conviction on two charges of bigamy and her filing a divorce suit in the Wyandotte county district court. Mrs. Fraze, who was Eva Bennett, just turned 17, and Clyde E. Fraze, were married in Little Rock, Ark., in 1906. Soon afterward they moved to' Rosedale, Kan. Two boys. Clyde, now 3 years old, and Donald, now 18 months old, were born to them. Fraze was a railroad man and consequently much away from home. Last Jan uary he stayed away longer than usual, and Mrs. Fraze left her two little children at her home, 238 Col lege avenue, Rosedale, while she went to work in a restaurant on Fifth street, near Main, in Kansas City, Mo. It was while on the long car ride home from work that she picked up the Burlington paper. There she read that Clyde E. Fraze was married June 6. 1910. Miss Fay Cottlngham, daugh, ter of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Cottingham at tie Roy. Kan., being the bride. A quiet Investigation was started. which resulted in Fraze being arrested at the home of wife No. 2 in Le Roy. Kan., three hours after the first visit of the stork to them. A later investigation showed tfcat Fraze had told his wife in Le Roy the same story about having to be away from home so much on account of his 'railroad work." He had been divid ing his time between wife No. 1 and her .two babies and wife No. 2 in her expectancy. Fraze was tried in the Coffey county district court on a charge of bijrtuuy, and was sentenced to the Kansas peni tentiary on two counts. In her peti tion for divorce, Mrs. Fraze alleges that her husband betrayed trust In marrying the second time. She asks the custody of the two children. PROTEST TO TAFT. Presbyterians Object to Plan to Honor Briglmni Young. Atlantic City, May 22. The Presby terian general assembly went on rec ord today as being opposed to the ac ceptance by the navy department of a silver service for the battleship Utah, which has engraved on the coffee tray an etching of Brigham Young, and a view of the Mormon temple at Salt Lake City in the background. A resolution of protest presented by Theodore Morris of New York city was adopted without debate and the stated clerk was ordered to send telegrams of protest to President Taft and the chairman of the committee of the house of representatives which is con sidering the matter. The resolution conludes as follows: "Every sense of honor, decency and morality and righteousness will be outraged by the acceptance of and honoring by the protection of the flag of the nation this memorial of shame." The Rev Francis Irwin of Louisville. K., made a speech in support of a resolution to raise $6,000,000 fund so that every superannuated minister can receive $500 a year and every widow at least $500. He declared it would be infinitely kinder to take the old ministers and knock their heads to gether than to let them drag out an existence on a mere pittance or send them to a home that was but poor house in disguise. The resolution call ing for the raising of the $6,000,000 fund was passed by acclamation.' THE G. A. R. RESOLUTION'S. They Endorse State Reunion and A. AV. Smith for Pension Agent. At the state encampment of the G. A. R. held at Lawrence last week the old soldiers passed two sets of resolutions of general Interest. The first of these was a rebuke directed against Senator Bris tow of Kansas because of his opposition to the appointment of Comrade A. W. Smith as agent of the Topeka pension agency. The second calls for a state wide reunion of old soldiers at Topeka on Sep tember 27 for the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of the new memorial building at which time President Taft Is to make the principal address. The resolution endorsing. A. W. Smith for pension agent is as follows: "Whereas, The Topeka Pension Agency includes five states and has upon its rolls more than 103.000 pensioners, and "Whereas, The Grand Army of the Re public of this state, and of the nation, is earnestly desirous that an ex-soldier of the Civil War shall be pension agent at Topeka, Kansas, and "Whereas, The president of the United States has twice Indicated his choice of such pension agent, sending to the senate the name of our comrade, A. W. Smith, for such position, and "Whereas, We "have no reasonable as surance that If the nomination of Com rade A. W. Smith shall be rejected by the senate that the president will again desig nate another comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic of the state of Kansas for such position, or whether or not he will designate any ex-soiaier or tne ivu War to be pension agent at Topeka; now, therefore, "BK tT RESOLVKD.' That this encamp ment, believing that Comrade A. W. Smith is eminently qualified to fill said position of pension agent, and that his devoted services to his country from 1861 to 18t, as well as his honorable record in the state for more than tihrty-elght years, entitles him to the recognition of his com rades and fellow citizens: and, be it fur ther RESOLVED. That this encampment requests our United States senators to use all honorable means to secure the con firmation of Comrade A. W. Smith by the United States senate. "Adopted unanimously. "J. M.

Governor Asks Them to Work Out Present Day Problems. Chancellor Strong Asks for More Time to Make Report. The "brain trust" met in Governor Stubbs' office today to r-or.sider the re ports of committees appointed at a previous meeting when it was decided to have the work of the state educa tional institutions presented in de tailed form. By the "brain trust" is meant the boards of regents of the agricultural college, the normal schools and the university, given this name in a whimsical moment by one of the regents themselves who is blessed with a sense of humor. When Governor Stubbs vetoed the bill consolidating the boards of the state educational institutions he can celled one of his own ideas and rec ommendations after it had been made into concrete form by the legislature. He did not like the method, he said, that had been applied to a great idea. But he is now seeking to have the idea worked out by the regents them selves. The subcommittees appointed at a previous meeting were not ready to re port today, that is the agricultural col lege work alone was presented to the commission in statistical form complete, but the university work had not been finished, as usual. Chanceller Strong, who was present, to represent that in stitution, prayed for more time, so' th. meeting was adjourned without any thing accomplished. At a future meet ing the commission will pass on the committee report! and make some rec ommendation. These reports involve a world of work. The institutions are taken up by departments and the cost of mainten ance, the salaries, the attendance, ths work accomplished and all possible matters of Interest are reduced to fig ures and averages. With this mass of detail before them the members of the commisson will be enabled to ascertain just what is being done, how much it ia costing to do it and what is needed to simplify and make more effective the educational work of the state. As is always the case when a board of regents appointed from among -the successful business and professional men of the state is called upon to leave their business and meet at a given place, there was not a full membership present. Six or eight regents could not attend the meeting today. The commission adjourned this after noon subject to call for another meet ing in a few days when all the reports on the institutions shall be available. GORDON-MUNN CASE. Postponed for Three' Days in Judge Whitcomb's Court. Judge Whitcomb this morning granted a .three days' continuance in the Gordon-Munn case and the big flght over the $150,000 G. S. Gordon estate will not be staged until Thurs day morning. About two weeks will be required to dispose of the action. Most of ,the morning session was spent by attorneys in the case, who were trying to iron out legal proposi tions before a jury is impanelled. One of the star witnesses for Mrs. Munn, daughter of the deceased, can not reach Topeka before, next week. For this reason the defense asked for a continuance. The defense is also anxious to have Mrs. Gordon's attorneys set out certain things on which they will rely for a verdict when the case is finally tried. One of the main contentions is over the possibility of the plaintiff setting out new statments concerning the con tents of an ante-nuptial agreement which enters into the settlement of Mrs. Gordon's rights. But the de fendant is obdurate and wants much leeway. Six attorneys were, in court this morning and mixed in the legal battle preceding the trial of the case. Recently the supreme court reversed the case and remanded it for a new trial on the grounds that the lower court erred in the first trial by refus ing to grant the defense a jury in the trial of the case. A jury has been summoned for the second trial. HO DEMAND FOR IT. Minority Report of Committee on Popular Election of Senators. Washington. May 22. No popular de mand exists for a change in the con stitution so as to deprive congress of the right to supervise the election of United States senators. So asserted a minority of the members of the sjenate committee on the judiciary in a report filed today. The report opposed the withdrawal of such right of supervis ion from congress as is contemplated in the plan for the selection of sena tors by direct vote of .the, people. It was signed by Senators Clark, Wyom ing Nelson, Dillingham. Sutherland, Brandegee and Root, all Republicans. The report ignores the question of direct elections and deals entirely with that of supervision, which is declared to be. the more .important feature of the house election resolution which is now before the senate on a report from the majority from the judiciary commit tee. The subject is fairly summarized in the first exception in which it is contended that there is no reason why the ultimate authority of the national government over the times and manner of electing senators by direct, popular vote should not continue to be exer cised just as it always has been ex ercised over the direct election of rep resentatives by popular vote. UTILITIES COMMISSION TO MEET. Railroad Board to Hold Session In Tbis Capacity. The state board of railroad commis sioners will meet tomorrow for the first time as the state utilities com mission in formal session under the provisions of the law of 1911. The first complaint to be heard by the new commission will be that of the milling Interests against the recent interstate -commerce- commission rul ing in regard to the relationship of transit portion shipments to carload lots. The commission decided that the transit shipments must weigh as much as the minimum weight of the carload shipments. The milling in terests of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas have all filed protest against the ruling and declare that its enforce ment will hurt the milling industry of the southwest materially. James Sherman, secretary of the Wichita board of trade, filed the writ ten protest with the Kansas utilities commission. DIAZ TO QUIT MAY 24. Mexican Capital Is Much Relieved by Turn of Events. Mexico City. May 2i News of the signing of a peace agreement by the Mexican government and the rebel peace commissioners at Juarez Was re ceived by the Mexiearw capital today with a remarkable absence of demon stration. The feeling here was that while peace had been generally accept ed as a fact ever since President Diaz fixed the date of his resignation, the dilatory proceedings of the last few days were a cause of apprehension lest the peace program might receive a set back and consequently to the general public the signing of the agreement last night came as a surprise. Business men at the capital showed relief at the conclusion of the negotiations. While they see a long term of business de pression in prospect, they appear to have great faith In the future. PRZfSIOEilTT. OIA2.'. Foreign Minister De La Barra, worn out with- the -strain of weeks,- was late in reaching his office: this morning.

He went at once to the presidential palace and It is expected he will announce the new Mexican cabinet during the day. It is rumored that President Diaz will present his resignation to the cab inet today, but it is generally believed the date of his retirement will be May 24. Porflrio Diaz. jr.. it is said, is pre paring to go abroad. HARRIS WOULD KNOW. He Wants Definite Information About Harvest Hands.

The English amateur boxing champions who ar rived here a week ago to take part in the international tournament which was broken up by the police last Fri day night are wondering how the controversy will end. The Englishmen cannot understand why there Is a law here against box ing when admission Is charged. They Tou all probably read In. the news papers a few months ago of the sensa tional and tragic shoott.ig of David Graham Phillips, the novelist, by a semi-sane crank. Have you also, I wonder, read any of the stories and essay of this au thor, .which have been published in various magazines since his death? If you haven't, I think you should "you" meaning all American women especially wives and wives-to-be. I'll tell you why. David Graham Phillips had evident ly been studying the Question. "Why is marriage a failure?" very deeply, and ne had come to a conclusion. This conclusion Is set forth In all of his later works. Whether it is right or wrong, I don't know, but it certainly is interesting and suggestive. This is the sum of it: American women of the middle class are not doing their part in the partner ship or married life. The average wom an considers that she is bestowing a sufficient boon upon a man in marry ing him and does not realize that she has just as definite obligations after marriage as he. This, according to Mr. Phillips, Is a totally wrong point of viow. He con siders that the woman should go about her business of running the home as smoothly and successfully as possible, of getting, the greatest possible effi ciency out of the money supplied, of being a first-class mother, and as at tractive to, him as possible, just as seri ously as he goes about the business of earning a living, and that a failure on her part to-do her duty i? just as flag rant as a failure on his part to sup port her. Here are a few quotations which illustrate the ioiht lot view. "It is painful to an American girl of any class to find that she has to earn her position as wife. The current theory, a tradition from an early and woman-revering day, is that the girl has done her share and more when she has consented to the suit of the ardent male and has intrusted her priceless charms to his exclusive keeping. Ac cording to that- same theory it is the husband who must earn his position, must continue to earn it." "The woman, emerging from a girl hood of alarm lest she should never be able to achieve the married state and finding herself actually a Mrs., feels that she has completed her life work. She fancies she need do nothing more. She begins to relax, to wane, to go to seed mentally and physically, none the less though she conceal mental deteri oraUon under the cheap and lazy 'cul ture' claptrap, and physical deteriora tion under the paint, powder and dressmakers' devices for- taking up a decently appearing body."-

After speaking' of the difficulty the undowered middle class girl has of finding a worth while husband. Mr. Phillips concludes: "The remedy? The independence of the middle class girl her economic independence. Not by means of the dowry or of the divorce with alimony; for the dowered or alimoniously di vorced woman only fancies she is inde pendent. But real independence, abil ity to do things practical, useful, to perform salable service that sort of education will make her fit to marry, and worth marrying." Again in his novel "Enid," the hus band and wife who suddenly discover after two years of married lfe that they do not love each other, are dis cussing the situation. Savs the man: 'You may not real ize it, but you are degraded by taking money you don't earn.' 'Ah,' and she laughed in mocking scorn, you want me to earn my board and clothes I your wue. "He smiled amiably. 'I simply say,' he tossed the end of the finished cigar out the window and rose, 'that in the future I'll expect as good service as I could get at a hotel for the same money.' Now please do not think that I am saying that this is the only possible point of view on the American mar riage question, and that the American wife is always a shirk. By no means. You and I and everybody know plenty of women who bear their half, and more than their half of the bur den. But that the other kind of woman exists in the middle class and that the accusations Mr. Phillips hurls at her have at least some truth in them, J do believe, and I contend that his idea of equal obligations has at least a sug gestive germ of thought in it for all wives and wives-to-be.

Convinced that some one is dynamiting fish in the Smoky river, a number of Salina citi zens are ready to start action before P. Wollschaegar, Saline county game warden. For some time, at intervals, dead fish have been floating down the Smoky river, and many of them have been taken out just above the dam. where they stopped on days when the water was not running over the dam. Some of these fish weighed from 10 to 12 pounds. Rivermen say there is no other theory for the dead fish than that of dynamit ing. Births Reported. To Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cole,, May 20, a boy.

Topeka Expects to Make It the Best of All. Two Thousand Visitors Will Be lrovidd For. The Invitations for the fourth an nual Merchants' week entertainment 21,000 of them were taken off the Dress this afternoon.

We will endeavor as hosts to improve upon that record this next month, and we are going to give you a series of entertainments that we know will bo interesting and pleasur able.

NO VALID COAL CLAIMS. In Alaska, TOO Have Kwn Investigated and Turned Down. Seattle. Wash.. May 22. Final report has been made by the field division of the general land office on 700 of the 1,100 Alaska coal claims, and notice of the findings will be sent to the claimants in due course. The contents of the report have not been made public, but the whole situa tion may be summarized as follows: So far as known, none of the claims in the various Al-.skan coal fields has been found valid. In the Tanana Held, all the locations have been cancelled because no application for patents was made. In the Cape Lisburne field, where a bluff of coal overhangs the shore of the Arctic ocean, all but two of the locations have been cancelled. The remaining 400 entries are now under investigation, which is progress ing as raDidlv as circumstances will permit. This condition of affairs, land office officials say. is a sufficient reply to the charge that the government is delaying the opening of the Alaska cosl claims. In a number of the coal claim groups remaining to be investigated, the claim ants have declined to be interviewed by special agents of the general land office and also, according to these offi cials, have refused to furnish any in formation concerning their entries. The work of Investigation, it is said, has been greatly delayed by these refusals of information. In the indictments returned by United States grand juries at Detroit, Chicago, Spokane and Tacoma against the pro moters of various Alaska coal groups charges are made that large groups of coal claims in Alaska are controlled by a few persons and that the individual locators have no interest whatever in the claims. It is alleged in the indict ments that most of the claimants are "dummies." whose names were used to secure title to valuable coal lands and enable the promoters to speculate in the public domain. MONEY ORDERS EORGED. Wichita Men Who Cashed Them Ijose Small Sums. Wichita. Kan.. May 22. The opera tions of a clever swindler are coming to light with the return of several pro tested Pacific Express company money orders, which were cashed in Wichita April 26. The orders were drawn in favor of John Carpenter and a bogus signature, supposed to be of the Win field agent of the company, is signed to each order. The amounts of the orders range from $30 to $45. So far only three bogus orders have been ex posed in Wichita. The orders were cashed in Wichita on the same day they were supposed to have been drawn. The express money orders are handled through the banks as eastern exchange, and as a result it was not found that they were no good until thev reached the clearing house in New York city. They were immediately returned to the Wichita merchants protested. Clothe Gentlemen Wear Avenue. CO. man. GOOD RAIN AT LAST. t Continued from Page One.1) of the sun. The rain did not extend west of here farther than Virgil and south only as far as Cherryvale, ac cording to reports received at the Santa Fe railroad's divisien headquar ters here, but there were heavy rains north and east. Syracuse, Kan., May 22. The past week the growing crops in this, Ham ilton county, have shown a wonderful improvement because of the splendid rains. The drouth previous to the mois ture had become so distressing that a number of farmers were compelled to feed their cattle because the grass was so short, and it also became necessary to haul water. However, a two inch rain has changed the program of the farmers. Wheat, oats and barley show a decided improvement, and the pas tures are improved to such an extent that it is unnecessary to furnish addi tional feed for the cattle. With a few more timely rains Hamilton county will have excellent crops this year. Atchison, May 22. A good general rain, amounting to fully one-half inch fell over Atchison- county. According to railroad advices the. rain was heav ier farther west and was general all over the Central Branch territory Sat urday night and Sunday morning, from one to two inches being reported. Over much of the territory the rain broke a drouth of several weeks, which had already damaged the wheat in many localities. The rain was also general in southern 'Nebraska, extending as far north as Omaha. Osage City, May 22. Osage county got a good rain, -the first in many weks. The government gauge here shtfwed a rainfall of .42 of an inch. Concordia, May 22. Rain began fall ing Saturday night and has continued .steady. This will put the -wheat in first class condition although it was not suf fering in this territory. One of the heaviest crops on record is assured from present prospects. Osborne. May 22. Osborne county was favored with a good rain which will benefit the wheat not already destroy ed by the hot, dry weather of the past tew weeks. Clay Center. May 22. All Saturday night and sineerain has been falling over this entire county. The rain came steadily, soaking into the ground. It practically assures the wheat for this section. Wheat now heading out. Junction City, Kan., May 22. Three eighths of an inch of rain fell here. It will be of vast benefit to the grow ing wheat, which has been greatly in need of moisture. WILKINSON TO SIMS' PLACE.

(Continued from Page One.) momentarily diverted from his course and he made a quick turn to the left, where the party of officers were stand ing. Then he lost control of the craft altogether and it dashed violently into the ministerial group. Cavalry Clears the Field. The impact knocked M. Berteaux ten feet away, where he lay in a pool of blood, badly- mangled, while under the wreckage of the monoplane lay Premier Monis, his son and M. Deutsch Train and M. Bounier emerged from the wreck uninjured. A scene of frightful confusion fol lowed. From all parts of the field arose cries of alarm and dismay and tens of thousands of prisons broke through the lines and moved toward the scene. The cavalry, by repeated charges, managed to clear the field and the injured men were given first aid treatment by field surgeons. It was seen that Mr. Berteaux was fatal ly hurt and that M. Monis was seri usly injured. After the ministers had been cared for the surgeons dressed the wounds of those who had received minor bruises. There were various versions as to the cause of the accident, but all seem agreed that It occurred with such rapidity there was no time for M. Ber teaux, M. Monis and the others to escape. M. Hersand, a nephew of former Premier Dupuy, Whose newspaper, the Petit Parisien, arranged the race, said: M. Berteaux was ..just asking me who would be the next started, and I was consulting my program to answer him, when, glancing upward, I saw the monoplane plunging and careening to ward u.i Look out!' I cried, and the next J instant the wing of the aeroplane brushed my side. Looking around, I saw the minister of war lying in a pool of blood ten feet away, his arm severed as though by a surgeon's knife. The minister's head was hor ribly crushed and blood was flowing from a cut In his throat. "Premier Monis lay motionless, face downward. I thought him dead. M. Deutsch, his face ghastly pale, was trying to rise to his feet." M. Monis, jr., said he thought he saved his father's life by pushing him violently to the ground tha moment Tie saw the machine plunging through the air. The ministerial party, was hid den from the pilot's view by a de tachment of cuirassiers. In avoiding these. Train crashed down upon the group like a bolt from the sky. M. Dupuy immediately after the dis aster gave out word that the race had been suspended. M. Lepine issued a formal order to that effect, saying it would be impossible to continue, for a large part of the aviation field was covered by vast crowds. RACK GOES OX. Vedrine Covers 279 Miles in Three Honrs and" 39 Minutes. Paris, May 22. Pierre Vedrine. un dismayed by the wreck of his own ma chine yesterday, just prior to the dis aster in which the French minister of war was killed, again started in the .paris-to-Madrid race early this morn ing. M. Train, who in trying to avoid crashing into a squadron of Cuiras siers, galloping across the military field, caused yesterday's tragedy, and who was entitled, under the conditions of the race to make another start in the international flight contest,- an nounced that he had no heart to do so because of his terrible mishap. Four other aviators. Weymann, Frev. Gar nier and Aerrept, also tetired from the race. vedrine at half past three this morning took a prelimianry flight around the field at Issy-Lesh-Mol-ineaux for the purpose of testing his moter and then, at 4:11 o'clock, rose high in the air and disappeared swift ly in' the fog towards Angouleme, the first stage of the race. There were no cheers when the aviator started on his flight, the people seemingly being stunned by the accident attending the opening of the event. The crowd and the judges, however, remained on the aviation field throughout the morning and received telegrams from the offi cial timekeepers along the route of the flight. Vedrine arrived at Angouleme at 7:50 o'clock, having covered the 279 miles in 3 hours and .19 minutes. The running time of the Southern express between Paris and Angouleme is 5 hours and 18 minutes. The judges announced that Vedrine had broken the record for the long dis tance cross-country flight. His time was all the more extraordinary when it was considered that the airman had made a stop at Etampes. 35 miles from Paris, to regulate his motor. The avi ator arrived at Angouleme in good con dition though he suffered considerably from the cold. M. Garros was the only contestant out of yesterday's four start ers to reach Angouleme. Gibert reach ed Pontlevoy but, learning of the cat astrophe on the Issy field decided to proceed no further. L. E. Laseur landed near Cosne, hav ing lost his wav in a fog. Beaumont descended at Azay-Sur-Imbre and on attempting to resume his flight damag ed the left wing of his aeroplane by dashing against a tree. The disaster yesterday at commence ment of an international contest which promised to be one of the principal avi ation events of the season has plunged the whole French nation into grief and the death of Minister of War Berteaux is mourned, without political distinc tion throughout the republic as a na tional loss. Today the body of the minister is lying in state at the min istry of war. The funeral which is ex pected to take place on Friday. wu be conducted with full national honors. The army will go into mourning for 30 dais. SIX NEGROES LYNCHED. Mob Obtained Possession of Them on Bogns Telegram. Lake City, Fla., May 22. Six negroes were lynched here Sunday after a party of more than a dozen men, masquerad ing as officers, appeared at the county jail and secured possession of the men by presenting a bogus telegram to the 16-year-old son of the sheriff, ordering the release of the blacks to the alleged posse of officers. The negroes were being held here for safe keeping on the charge of murder ing B. B. Smith. sawmill man of Wadesborough. Leon county. and wounding another man named Register on May 12. The men, who had come from Talla hassee to Lake City in automobile, took the negroes about a mile outside of Lake City. They compelled the negroes to stand abreast and about 10 men com menced firing with rifles and pistols un til every one of the six men had been riddled with bullets. The firing lasted about half an hour and a few strag gling citizens at daybreak found the j negroes shot up beyond recognition just I MAY WHEAT BID UP New Crop Deliveries Take the Opposite Course Owing to the Bountiful Bains From Kansas Eastward.

Transactions in stocks this morning were on the same large scale as last week and the market displayed decided strength. Reading was the feature of the market. after the automobiles left the scene of the lynching. The telegram which the leader of the mob showed the boy was supposedly from the sheriff of Leon county and stated that the sheriff had received in timations that a mob was being form ed in Tallahassee to take the negroes from the Lake City jail. The message ordered that the men be carried further south to frustrate the suspected mob. The telegram appeared authentic, as the six negroes -have been moved fre quently. Swainsboro, Ga., May 22.

Dr. F. L. Loveland, pastor of the First Methodist church, said this in his sermon at his church last night.

In his ser mon last night he also urged the church to adjust itself to modern methods, especially advocating the co operation of churches in Christian work without regard to denomination. Because the church had been too slow in this adjustment, he said that statistics showed fifty-five great Pro testant denominations had gained less than one per cent in the last few years. However, he expressed himself optim istic that the church would finally ad just itself to the rapid progress in the last fifty years, a sign of which hope he cited the "Men and Religion Move ment." His sermon In part follows: "The czar of Russia once learned that a sentinel had paced a certain beat for over eighty years because Catherine the Great, eighty years ago, had ordered a sentinel to protect the ground on which a certain spring flower was growing and the order had never been rescinded. "In the church too many Issues dead over eighty years ago are as carefully guarded. The need of the church to day is people in the pulpit and pews that will adjust themselves to new conditions. We don't need a new gos pel, new Bible or new Christ, but to make Christian teachings applicable to the modern decade. "All modern, progressive institutions advertise, but if you pick up a State Journal you will find, tucked way down in a little corner where a stran ger in town would scarcely see it, a little notice about our church, once a week. If I had my way, the First Methodist church would have half a TELEGRAPH COMPANY Vs? U 25.00 alterations. page of advertising in the daily papers at least once a week, paid for at the regular advertising rates. The stores, theaters, and all other business places, realize the need of advertising, and use plenty of printer's ink. The church needs it, too. "Another thing which breaks my heart is to go into a small town, of say 1,000 people, and see five or six churches of different denominations struggling to get along, because since Luther broke away from the Catholic church, the Protestant churches have split up into different denominations on account of a minor difference of belief. If I had my way the only creed a person would have to subscribe to to belong to my church would be that he loved God with all his heart, mind and soul and his neighbor as himself. "Through inventions within only the last fifty years so many changes have been made in the lines of activity and mode of thinking that we have not got our bearings yet. "The church world is the slowest to adjust Itself to these changed condi tions. It may be a good thing, for if the church flew off with the cranks it would likely land in the ditch. For there are more cranks in the realm of religion, more faddists and fools than anywhere else and every hobbiest wants to head the procession. "Don't fret. The church will adjust itself. The truth need not change, but methods must change, Just as govern ments must amend their constitutions to keep pace with progress. Any church refusing to meet these new conditions will be left with vacant pews. I am optimistic about its fu ture, and as for our own church, I thank God that we have a board of directors who will see to it that we shall have a ne wchurch building made for modern needs." HIS BODY FULL OF TIN. A Hunter Fires Into a Can of Nitro- Glycerln. Muskogee, Okla.. May 22. Clarence Henderson, bookkeeper in a bank at Beggs, Okla., is dead and EM ward Bright, son of a real estate man of the same place, will die as the result c mistaking a quart can of nitro-glycerln for muddy water. The young men were hunting when they discovered the can of explosive under a boulder. They placed it on top ot the rock and one of them fired a shot into it from a 22-caliber rifle. Henderson was so badly mangled by the explosion that he died within an hour. Bright's body was cut in more than a hundred places by particles of the can and rock on which it stood. He crawled to a farm house a mile and a half away and told of the accident. A physician picked 35 pieces of tin from his body and located 66 more which were too deeply imbedded to reach. There is no hope for his recovery. The accident occurred in the oil fields and the nitro-glycerin had been hidden by well shooters when they quit work. Woman Astronomer Dies. Boston, May 22.

The marriage here recently 0f Colonel William Mathewson at the age of 82 years re vives interest in one of the most re markable characters in the history of Kansas. This old frontiersman, is hale and hearty, and apparently stands a chance to reach the century mark. In spite or tne Hardships that he has ex perienced. William Mathewson established the first trading post in the interior of Kansas in 1855. It was at the Great Bend of the Arkansas on the Santa Fe trail, and there, though the friends de clared that no white man could live a month in the country alone, he con ducted a profitable business for ten years. Prior to that time.-Mr. Mathewson, in the employ of the Northwestern Fur company and the Bent St. Grain Trad ing company, had spent four years on the plains and in the mountains of the west. During this time he had tra versed Kansas from the Missouri river to the Rocky Mountains several times, and had had many narrow escapes from the Indians. In this time he had learn ed that the way to treat with Indians was to be fair and frank with them and never to show any sign of cow ardice. Chief Gets a Beating. This training stood him in good stead, when, shortly after opening his trad ing post, Sanataus, a Kiowa chief, with a small band of warriors, called on him one day with the avowed intention to kill him because he had shot an In dian who was found stealing a horse. Mathewson promptly knocked the chief down and beat him unmercifully, after which he compelled his warriors to car ry him away by threatening to shoot them. Sanataus afterward sent word to Mathewson that he would kill him, The young trader immediately started out across the prairie alone in search of the chief, who fled from his camp and remained away nearly a year. When he returned he swore allegiance to the trader and was afterward his warm friend. It was then that the In dians gave him the name that clings to him still when he is referred to by them, the "Bearded Bad White Man. Mr. Mathewson says he was the first man on the plains to be called "Buf falo Bill." and if there is anything of which he is Jealous it is the claim of any man to this title. In 1860 to 1864 Mr. Mathewson was on the buffalo range most of rthe time, sometimes alone and at times heading hunting parties in their slaughter of these am mals which at. that time roamed the prairies of Kansas and Colorado in countless thousands. One of the most remarkable fights in which Mathewson was engaged with the Indians was in 1864 when, with four men he withstood the onslaughts of an armed band of Indians for three days and nights, during which time upwards of 20 Indians were killed. On the fourth day of the sieg an overland wagon train hove in sight and the Indians turned their attention to it. Rescues His Rescuers. Mathewson soon discovered that the men in charge were unable to cope with the Indians and he broke through the Indian line and took charge of the lit tie force and beat the Indians off. For this act of bravery Mr. Matthewson on his next visit to Leavenworth was ten dered a banquet and a big ball was held in his honor, and he still shows with pardonable pride the brace of gold In laid ivory handle revolvers which were presented to him by the government for this act of his. During the years 1865 to 1873 William Mathewson recaptured rrom the in dians and returned to their families and friends no fewer than 54 women and children who had been stolen from the white settlements. In most cases he obtained possession of these prison ers by diplomacy, though on two or three occasions he stole them from the camps of the Indians. In 1865 the Kiowas, Comanches, Chey ennes. Apaches and Arapahoeg went on the warpath and Mr. Mathewson was employed by the government to visit their camps and arrange for a meet ing of their principal chiefs at a point on the Little Arkansas river near where Wichita now is situated. The Indians had such confidence in him that they yielded to his. arguments and 10,000 of them assembled on the Little Arkansas for a treaty between the tribes and the government, and the Indians re turned to their reservation In the In dian Territory. Four years later there was another outbreak ana Mathewson was again employed to treat with the redskins. A final great treaty was con summated at Medicine Lodge, after which for a period of seven years Mathewson lived continuously with the Indians on the reservations. HATS HTGHS GRADUATE.
