WILL BEJHOWN Santa Fe Demonstration Train Will Be Ran Soon. Illustrate Contrast Between Old and the New. OFFICIALS WILL GO Lectures at Every Station While Train Waits. Little Old Engines and Cars Pulled by Big Mallet. The plan of the Atchison, Topeka Banta Fe Railway company to run a demonstration train over its main lines from Chicago to the Pacific coast was announced this morning from the gen eral office In Topeka. The plan is unique In railroad history but la pretty mire to attract general attention all over the country and Interest a lot of people in tne advancement that has been made In railroading the past quarter of a century. The demonstration train will be made tip as follows: 1A Mallet locomotive of the latest C35- The Little "Sewing Machine" Type of Old Style Freight type, built for hauling heavy freight trains. 2 A locomotive of the type in use three decades ago. 3 A steel framed passenger coach t the latest type. 4 A wood framed passenger coach used in the seventies. 5 A new style freight car, such as Is used for the shipment of automobiles and the like. 6 An old fashioned box car. 7A flat car for exhibition purposes, showing old and new- style switches, couplers, brakes, etc. On this car thero also will be shown a section of dirt track with 52 pound rail, alongside of a section of rock ballasted track with 90 pound rail. A party of officials and experts will accompany the train and give lectures about the old style of railroading as contrasted with the new. The train, with its little sewing machine engine of the early eighties and its monster Mallet of today, will illustrate the lec ture in such fashion that it can be un derstood by any one. The train will be equipped at the To peka shops. It will run in main line territory, the schedule to be announced later. This demonstration train is a part of the general policy established a year ago by E. P. Kfpley, president or the Santa Fe, to bring about a better un derstanding between the company and its patrons. Mr. Ripley took the public into his confidence, as it were, and be gan to tell about the inside workings of the railroad business. The "Harmony special" was the first big stunt pulled off. Officials went be fore the commercial clubs of the cities) and towns and told the Santa Fe's side of the railroad question. Some poli ticians who were runnig for office at the time said it was a "political scheme," but the people who attended the meetings knew it was business, not politics. The "harmony special" kept on running after the election same as before, and meetings now have been held in most of the states through which the lines of the Santa Fe run. Schools and societies of various kinds have become interested in the study of the railroad question, and every week officials are called upon to deliver ad dresses on some phase of the subject. Employees of the Santa Fe entered heartily into the new work, and regular meetings now are held to discuss plans for improving the service. At one of these "experience" meetings the man who operates a truck at the freight house feels as free to give his views as does the superintendent. Ilipley Approves New Policy. President Ripley believes that the new policy is bringing good results. People with whom the Santa Fe does business appreciated the efforts of thj officials to get better acquainted, and let it be known that they were willing to hear the Santa Fe's side of the ques tion "t issue. Sentiment has beea changing ever since the new polio went into effect. President Ripley says that the feeling now between the Santa jre and its patrons generally is fine. The trouble is confined largely to those w ho do little or no business with the road. The demonstration train to show the old and the new in railroading will be educational, and parents will be asked to take their children to see it. An ex hibit of this character was made at the Chicago World's Fair, but nothing like it has ever before been at tpmpted outside of a show buildine The santa -es exnioit win oe taken to vour door, if you live on the main lin and shown without money and without price. It will be a bigger exhibit, an'd a better one, than that which attracted attention at the Chicago exposition. "How many people do you extend to attend the show?" a reporter asked si Santa Fe official yesterday. "Law, I haven'tany idea," the official replied. "How many do you guess will attend?" The reporter guessed a million. The demonstration train will run on the main line only, because the branch line track is not heavy enough to carry the weight of the monster Mallet.

In the city court last night William White, 27 years old, of Plainsfield, was sent to jail for a year and fined $265 for plac ing his arms about a woman as he passed her on the street. This is the heaviest penalty ever imposed in the state for a similar offense. DEMOCRATS T0MEET. W1U Assemble in Topeka Soon to Dis cuss Things! The Democratic editors of the state are going to hold a meeting next month which will likely turn out to be a po litical conference. It is understood that the plan at this meeting is to try to agree upon candidates for state offices and wipe out any faction that has ap peared among the supporters of pre eminent Bourbons. All the candidates are sure to be here, and their friends will come, too. Hugh Farrelley of Chanute has an nounced for United States senator, and Senator George H. Hodges of Olathe may yet decide to give Farrelley a workout for that nomination. Senator Hodges has not yet entered the guber natorial race, although he is expected by a large number of Democrats to do so. The editorial conference, it is be lieved, has been called largely for the purpose of getting Farrelley and Hodges to agree on the offices for which they will compete. Hodges argues that Farrelley, having Engine of the Past and the Monster Cars in General TJse Thirty Years Ago, made the race for senator and been beaten by a big majority, ought to step out of the way now and let the man run who last fall cut the Repub lican majority in the state into shoe strings. Farrelley, however. believes that the Stubbs-Curtis fight for the Republican nomination will make it easy picking for the Democratic candi date, and he wants to reap where he sowed three years ago. Hodges wants to harvest the crop he sowed last fall. Mayor J. B. Billard of Topeka and W. L. Brown of Kingman are the other two Democratic candidates mentioned for governor. Both of these- gentlemen may enter the race. The announcement of State Chairman J. N. Dolley, of the Republican state committee, made a few days ago, that he would call a party conference, may have had something to do with the Democrats calling a meeting for July. With both parties holding 1911 con ferences for 1912 the campaign will like ly start several months earlier than usual. MADEROS COMING TO U. S. Mrs. Alberto Madero, aunt of Fran cisco I. Madero, jr., the leader of the Mexican revolutionists, has sought a haven of repose in San Francisco with her three children. She arrived here last week from El Paso and has taken up apartments at the Palace hotel. They expect to remain for an indefin ite period, probably three or four months. Senior Madero will join them later. STREET CAR HITS AUTO. J. G. Holland's Machine Badly Dam- aged in Collision. In a collision between a west bound Twelfth street car and an au tomobile owned by J. C. Holland, an architect, shortly before noon today the automobile was wrecked and traf fic was tied up for half an hour. The auto was driven by Miss Lydia Holland and at Twelfth and Fillmore streets the car and automobile both moving swiftly met. The auto was thrown to one side by the impact and Miss Holland was thrown out, but she was not seriously hurt. If 5KC TOPEKABOY FLIES Hino Bredel Makes Trip in His Own Monoplane. A Slight Accident Temporarily Stops the Flight. BUILT ON NEW PLAN. Propeller Located in Front of the Machine. Preliminary Tests Being Made on North Side. Topeka has a monoplane that flies. This morning at 5 o'clock a trial flight was made. The machine rose easily from the ground and was just getting under headway when a wire brace snapped and a landing was made to repair the damage which was slight. The distance covered was less than a quarter of a mile but it was demonstra ted that the machine will fly. The trial flights will be continued on the Taylor tract in North Topeka. First of Kind in State. The monoplane was constructed by Hino and Kurt Bredel at 301 Polk street. It is the first air craft of the Mallet Type of locomotive Now In Use and the Big Furniture Cars Now tfs kind to be built in Kansas. The big craft looks resplendent in the sun all silvery in effect. From the propeller at the front to the rud der at the back of the machine the dis tance is 26 feet. The two large front planes are 11 by 6 feet each which gives a wing expanse for the machine, in cluding the space between the planes where the operator sits of 26 feet. The rear planes are 12, feet from tip to tip- and are provided with horizon tal rudders for raising and lowering the flying machine. The planes are fitted with double service ribs which Sive3 additional strength. The weight of the machine is 400 pounds and the engine used is one of local construction, the Bredel brothers having designed it themselves. Tills Engine Pulls. Its horsepower is 24 and it is cap able of sending the propeller, which is French made and spoon like in ap pearance, around at the terrific pace of from 1,500 to 1,800 times a minute. This engine pulls instead of pushes, as is the case with an engine of a bi plane such as was operated by Bud Mars last year. The speed of the propeller is so great that when one stands in the garage in which the monoplane was made it is impossible to keep his hat on without holding it. The propeller is six feet and two inches broad. With the exception of the propeller the silk and a few other parts the ma chine was made in Topeka. The framework is of Oregon pine which was brought here especially for the use of the Bredel brothers. There are 160 square feet of im ported silk used in connection with the planes. Hino Bredel is the one who made the first flight. He was for several years employed in the Pierce-Arrow automo bile factory at Buffalo, N. Y. He was employed by the Smith Auto company in Topeka and worked in the Santa Fe machine shops. Tlie two brothers originally hailed from Leipsic, Germany. A number of years ago Hino drove for the Thomas automobile company in Chicago while races in that city were in pro gress, and in 1910 he made a record covering sixty-five miles in 57 minutes with a Sterling car he was driving in Kansas City. Kurt was employed in the Mann heim factory in Germany, where the Benz car is manufactured which has broken records in this country. The Bredel brothers expect to be gin the construction of a much larger one now that they have found that the machine will fly. Robert Blaylock, formerly with the North Brothers Stock company, is managing affairs for the Bredel broth ers. He has practically closed three dates at Des Moines on condition, of course, that the flights of the machine prove successful, and now ne is in Me braska making arrangements for flights. ROBBED OF $13,826. TTniversity Cashier Was Carrying the Money In a Satchel. Minneapolis, June 2. Joseph D Bren, cashier and accountant of the State university, was held up by three highwaymen on the banks of the Mississippi river near the university this morning and robbed of $13,826 which he was carrying in a satchel. He also lost his watch and his month's salary, $166. CAFFEY GETS 30 YEARS. Wife Killer Sentenced Three and Half Months After Murder. Pittsburg, Kan., June 2. W. Hamp ton Caffey, 30 years old, a drug clerk, was today sentenced to serve not more than 30 years in the Kansas peniten tiary for wife murder. He shot hl wife February 23, 1911, after they had quarreled. BRISTOW IS SARCASTIC. Kansas Senator Scores Colleagues for Action on Jjorimer. .Washington,' June 2. Senator Lo ri mer (111.) faces another investigation at the hands of his colleagues. The in quiry will be conducted by a subcom mittee of the committee on privileges and elections, composed of four Repub licans and four Democrats, four of whom voted for the conviction and four for the acquittal of the senator last session. The method selected is regard ed as the latest thing in Jury trials. It took seven hours' debate to agree upon the system and it was finally adopted by a vote o48 to 20, being sub stituted for the plan urged by Senator LaFollette of turning the case over to five senators who were not members when the case was roted upon before and therefore were supposed to be un biased. Before the vote was taken Senator Bristow, who favored the LaFollette plan, accused Senator Dillingham, chairman of the election committee, of having capitulated in the interest of a Democratic scheme of turning the in vestigation over to a subcommittee. This charge was based upon the fact that the author of the resolution adopt ed was Senator Martin, the Democratic leader. Mr. Bristow also claimed that the old guard Republicans had formed an alliance with the Democrats and that they had placed the "mantle of Aldrich" upon the shoulders of Martin. Most of the insurgent ..epublican senators voted against substituting the Martin resolution. Of the 20 negative votes. 13 were cast by Republicans Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Brown, Clapp, on the Santa Fe Wain Lines. ed on the Santa Fe. Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Gronna, J. Kenyon, LaFollette, Perkins and Poin dexted and seven by Democrats Davis, Hitchcock, Lea, Martin, New lands, Owen and Pomerene. The resolution adopted merely pro vides that the investigation shall be conducted by the elections committee. It was in connection with the under standing on the part of many senators that a bipartisan and bi-Liorimer com mittee wa-i to be named that brought out most .of the criticism. The discussion of. the alleged agree ment as to the delegation of the inquiry to a subcommittee- was precipitated by Mr. Bristow. He said he had been ad vised that the Investigation was not to be made by the committee as a whole, but by a subcommittee and that the leaders of the Republican and Demo cratic parties had reached an- under standing concerning the committee's personnel. In discussing what he term ed the "capitulation" of Senator Dill ingham, he said he accepted this act as a temporary tranference of leadership to the Democratic side. It was with a feeling of regret, he said, that he saw the mantle of Aldrich fall upon the shoulders of a Democrat. He added that he found consolation in the fact that a transfer had become necessary. "Mr. Gallinger had not been able to don the mantle," said Mr. Bristow. "and it had not been found to fit Mr. Penrose. For some strange reason, it had not been tendered to Mr. Lodge and not until the wolves had scattered the sheep had there been any success in finding a leader. But now that a coalition has been formed, the man has been found and the senate knows whence its signals are to come." Continuing in this satirical vein, Mr. Bristow said he wondered whether the new leadership would continue so as to control the Lorimer legislation, tariff and other matters. He wondered whether this leadership would go fur ther and protect the Hines lumber in terests and take care of the duty on iron ore. 'Will it Drevent recinroo.ltv?" Mi- Nelson asked. 'Will it insure recinrocitv?" Mr. Bristow corrected. Mr. Bristow criticized the elections committee for not calling at the last session, Hines and other men interested in the lumber business.

Will Be Accompanied by Betinue of Rebel Officers. El Paso, Tex., June 2. Francisco I. Madero was astir early today prepara tory to his departure at 10:30 for Mexico City to discuss a new govern ment for Mexico. Going, by way of Eagle Pass, Tex., Senor Madero intends, after crossing the border, to travel in a special train, guarded by armed insurrectos. He will visit Torreon, Zacatecas and Agua Calientes in an effort to pacify that section of te country. Senor Madero is due to arrive in Mexico City at 10 a. m. next Wednesday. Those elected to accompany him include Raoul Madero. his brother, and Francisco Madero, sr., his father. Colonel Guiseppe Garibaldi and many minor officers, who partici pated in the revolution. The little "White House," on the banks of the muddy irrigation ditch near Juarez, where Madero had estab lished his headquarters, presented a busy scene today. Wagons of docu ments pertaining to the business of the revolution were hauled to the train, and messengers on horseback were kept galloping between officers' head quarters to give final orders for the departure. Senor Madero himself was greatly pleased with the prospects of his reaching Mexico City. "It is of course the climax of the revolution," ha said, "it, seems our triumph is com pleted; we began our fight in the open field; we are marching in peace to the stronghold of those who were once our foes. No one six months ago would have believed that so great a change could come to a country. Then the country was divided between bitter enemies, now I trust all the hatred will be forgotten, for after U it was a hatred merely-for a social condition. As Mexicans we are all brothers. I trust tranquility will spread throughout the land." Just before the time set for his leav ing Senor Madero heard of the looting of the city of Parral, an important min ing center near Jiminez. A band of rebels entered the place and took away $50,000 from the banks. GOVERNMENT CONTROL Head of Steel Concern Says It Is the Only Trust Remedy. Washington. June 2. Elbert H. Gary, chief executive officer of the U. S. Steel corporation, resuming his testimony be fore the house 6teel trust investigating committee today denounced the Sher man anti-trust law as archaic and de clared that governmental control of corporations eventually would came. Mr. Gary asserted that the steel cor poration would welcome such a change and would be glad if the government would go so far as to dictate the prices of steel products. In explanation of the reported world-wide "trust" Mr. Gary said a conference would be held in Brussels July 5 and 6 next to organ ize an international steel institute sim ilar to the American iron and steel in-. stitute. The latter he asserted, was formed to prevent demoralization in trade and to permit an exchange of ideas for the betterment of the steel industry. In no instance. Mr. Gary said had there been any attempt at an un lawful combination or an expressed or implied agreement. Mr. Gary said he would do all he could, morally and legally to further the proposed international Institute. Increased prices are to be charged for steel rails in the near future, ac cording to Mr. Gary. Higher cost of labor and raw material, together with a demand for heavier rails, was given as the reason for the proposed ad vance. Taking up the subject of the re ported international trust and the Gary dinners, at which it had been in timated prices were fixed, Mr. Gary said: "At the time of the ranic in 1907 there was great demoralization tem porarily in the steel business. The fear existed that it would extend and be come dangerous. The iron and steel industry has been recognized as one of the leading barometers of trade. It was believed highly important, if prac ticable, to prevent a greater demorali zation in trade." The situation, he explained, caused Jobbers all over the country to ap peal to the corporation to do some thing to prevent business chaos. Mr. Gary called the steel men of the coun try together in New York at a din ner to discuss business conditions. He said these dinners of .consultation had nroved so beneficial in maintaining sta bility of prices that representatives of steel interests would meet at Brussels July 6 next to determine whether an international steel institute similar to the American institute should be or ganized. After the discussion as to the supply Mr. Garry's attention was directed to the manufacture of steel rails. He de nied that the steel corporation con trolled the prices of rails, adding that they could not be sold for less than $28 a ton. "In this country," interrupted Mr. Bartlett. In reply Mr. Gary undertook an ex planation of why steel rails could be sold abroad cheaper tnan at some. ts said, like the merchant who clears his sh -Ives once a year, by selling his goods at cost, so the steel manufacturer could sell his surplus abroad at $28 or cost. The result will be the. mills were kept running, reducing the cost of produc tion, keeping together a compact or ganization and bringing to this coun try large sums of money. The ultimate effect, he added, was to reduce the price to "the domestic consumer. All countries practice "dumping," Mr. Gary declared. "How long has it been since any country 'dumped' rails on to us?" in- quired Chairman Stanley. "In about 1904 or 1905 or 1906," came the response slowly. "Last year some rails were 'dumped", on the Pacific coast." SHE HADTO TELL. Eer. Mr. Plass' Stenographer an Unwilling Witness. Forced to Testify About Letters From Office. Boston, June 2. The Norman Plass fraud trial was this morning a very lively affair. The stubborn determined fight that has been made to save Dr. Plass and his two associates from a prison term was today demonstrated in a series of clashes between the coun sel. Every scrap of evidence is being bitterly contested. Miss Marion McDonald testified that she was engaged by Dr. Plass in Sep tember, 1909, to act as chief stenogra pher for the Redeemable Investment company and that she' was so employed up to February of this year. The dis trict attorney used every means at his command to get from the girl facts concerning office happenings. She was not a willing witness and on many points her memory proved bad. Shown a batch of letters one by one. she would only state they appeared to be written and dictated by the persons whose initials appeared on them. Sparks flew when Judge Chester Krum, of St. Louis, for the defend ants sought to have rejected as evi dence all letters which in themselves did not constitute a furtherance of an alleged scheme to defraud. He was overruled again. When the district at torney offered a number of carbon cop ies of letters Judge Krum objected strenuously on the ground they carried no signatures and it had not been proven they were actually mailed by the defendants. He was again over ruled but first there was a sharp clash with the district attorney. Several other witnesses this morning gave routine testimony regarding their having received Redeemable literature and purchased stock. A guaranty, said the witness, by Rev. Norman Plass of 10 per cent, in terest led Miss F. Annette Sunier, of Brooklyn, N. Y., formerly teacher of French in Washburn college, to in- auce her mother to sen real estate holdings in Iowa City, la., and invest $6,000 in the stock of the Redeem able Investment company and influ enced her to invest $3,000 on her own account in subsidiary companies, ac cording to her testimony in the trial of the officers of the company on charges of fraudulent use of the mails. The witness said that both she and her mother had exchanged their stock for part cash and part stock in another company after the raid on the Redeemable office by postoffice officials. Miss Sunier said she first knew Dr. Plass, former president of the Re deemable, when he was president of the Washburn college, Topeka, Kan., where she was a professor. Florence I Tucker, of Rahway, N. J., testified to buying $500 worth of Redeemable stock solely in conse quence of a talk with George B. Graff, secretary of the company, whom she met at a Christian Endeavor conven tion in Europe. Prompt redemption of stocks in the Redeemable Investment company was refused, according to Mrs. H. A. Bab bitt, of Adams. Mrs. Babbitt testified that Rev. J. Spencer Voorhees, formerly pastor of the Congregational church at Adams, and now of Connecticut, had first called her attention to the company in a circular sent through the mails in January, 1910. About February of that year she and her husband Joint ly purchased 200 shares of stock, class "B", of the Redeemable Investment company at $10 a sharp. She did not meet the defendants, the Rev. Nor mal Plass, former president of the company, Charles H. Brooks, manager and John I. Traphagen, treasurer, un til after the purchase of the stock. NEAR HUNDRED MARK. Mercury Reaches Highest Point Since Last July. Yes, it is very hot today. In fact it is the hottest June 2 that ever was in Topeka. The mercury bumped into the 96 mark at 2 o'clock and still was going up. Mr. Flora, the special agent of the weather dispenser, said today was hotter by far than the average for July and August. Farther than that today is the warm est day since the three in a row last July when the mercury got over the 100 line. Neither is there hope for anything different. It is hot and dry from the Rockies east and cold and dry west. There has been very little rateluH in any part of the country during the past 24 hours. And there is none expected here. The wind is blowing 18 miles an hour from the southwest. The hourly heat: 7 o'clock 76 111 o'clock 90 8 o'clock 8012 o'clock 93 9 o'clock 85 1 o'clock 94 10 o'clock 88 2 o'clock 96 MORE COTTON PLANTED. Condition Is Well Above the Ten- Year Average. Washington, June 2. The area plant ed to cotton this year In the United States as estimated by the crop report ing board of the department of agri culture in the first crop report of the season, is about 104.7 per cent of the area planted last year, or 35,004.000 acres, including that already planted and expected to be planted. This is an increase of 4.7 per cent or 1,586.000 acres as compared with 33,418,000 acres, the revised estimate of last year planted area. The condition of the growing crop on May 25 was 87.8 per cent of a normal condition as compared with 80.2 per cent that day last year and 80.9, the ten year average on that date. Weather Indications. Chicago, June 2. Forecast for Kan sas: Generally fair tonight and Saturday. LOST INA FOG. French Army Officer With Pas senger Tries to Follow The Contestants In the Paris to Rome Air Race. MACHINE CAPSIZES. Each of the Occupants Sustained a Broken Leg. Another Aviator Meets With a Mishap at Versailles. Hyeres, France, June 2. Lieutenant Tucca, of the French army, and hia passenger, M. Hennequin, had a nar row escape from death today while attempting to conclude the first stage of the Paris-Rome-Turin aeroplane race. Each man sustained a broken leg. The aeroplane was demolished. The lieutenant was under orders of the minister of war to accompany the contestants in the race on the first leg. Paris to Nice. On leaving Avignon yesterday he lost his way in the fog. finally after wandering for a consider able distance out of his course, land ing at Marseilles. This morning he resumed his flight toward Nice. Ho made a superb start and the aeroplane was Boing well as it passed over this city. A short time later, however, the aviator returned to the aerodrome at Hyeres for the purpose of adjusting his motor. When a short distance from the ground the machine veered sharp ly and was capsized. Attendants rushed to their aid and the two men were taken from under the wreckage and sent to the hospital. Aviator's Hip Broken. Versailles. France, June 2. M. Gau bert. a French aviator, while making a trial flight with a new aeroplane here today, fell to the ground and fractured his hip. Others Hare Trouble. Pisa, June 2. Aviator Frey. repre senting Germany in the 1,300 mils Paris-to-Turin air race, spent the whole of this morning trying to repair his machine for resuming his flight from Pisa to Rome, but was unable to get his motor working properly. Vidart. who broke the left wing of his aeroplane on making a landing at Cecina. 35 miles south of Fisa, yester day returned here today and is await ing the arrival of a new machine. SHE CLUNG TO A LOG. Young Woman Is Rescued After Float ing Nearly 20 Hours. McAlester, Okla., June 2. After float ing on a log in a flooded stream for nearly 20 hours Miss Sallie Glover, who with her mother and two sisters, was swept Into the Canadian river by a freshet yesterday, was found today in Gaines creek, two miles above where that stream empties into the Canadian. She was to have been married today. Miss Glover was unconscious. Physi cians said she had a chance for recov ery. No trace has been found of Miss Glover's mother and her two younger sisters, last night reported drowned. The family was crossing the river in a wagon at a ford when a wall of wa ter swept them away. Miss Glover's escape from death in the swift current is regarded as hard to explain. She was carried up Gaines creek by th. backwater. The damage done to prop erty by high water is small. The wa ter Is receding rapidly. FOOD TRUST IS FOUND. Witness Says Members Are Not In Business for Their Health. Kansas City, June 2. A temporary restraining order seeking to oust tho Kansas City Fruit and Produce ex change and to dissolve, it as an alleged food trust may be requested of Judge A. F. Evans, special commissioner taking, testimony at a hearing here, an nounced Henry Jost, assistant prose cuting attorney, today. This declara tion came as the result of the testi mony of S. J. Hurst, a member of th exchange, after he had admitted on the stand that eggs are stored to keep up prices. Merchants were not in business for their health, he said. "If the merchants did not store eggs. the prices would be very low, whilst the big early spring and summer sup ply was coming to the market. Hurst further explained. "How about the consumer who hll to pay the bills?" "We are not in business for our health," Mr. Hurst frankly admitted. "We try to sell our products for just as much as we can get for them." ADVERTISING TALKS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN Should not a chain of nefc papers in the Eastern belt, or the Middle West belt, or the Pa cific Coast belt, or the Southern belt, appeal to a manufacturer who might wish to develop one territory at a time, instead of starting a general publicity campaign before he is really ready for it? COMMON SENSE would prompt a manufacturer making a product that could be sold only in the South and Southwest to use daily newspapers in that territory and NOT to use pub licity that touches all parts of the country.

Where They Play Tomorrow. Sioux City at Topeka. Des Moines at Denver. Omaha at Lincoln. St. Joseph at Pueblo." The tribe of Indians from the terri tory adjoining the Kaw river, are in third place today, 'though tied with Omaha. The rampaging Kaws will be home tomorrow with the Soos at their heels. To a casual reader it would seem that the Kaws play nobody but the leading Soos. But the Kansas tribe is fast working their Jinx over the Iowans so let them come on. By winning from Omaha yesterday the Topeka club made it Beven wins in the ten games played on the road. It is possible for them to win again to day. But the most hopeful fan eX' pected them to win not more than five out of the eleven on the road finest little road team in the league. Pa Rourke used four pitchers and a change of catchers to Btop the Kaws in the first game at Omaha and still was beaten 6 to 1. Jack Fugate went all the way for Topeka and held them well. In that same same, 'tis said, the Kaws played loosely and at ease ex cept when occasion demanded, in which Instances they became energized ana played perfect ball. Can it be these Kaws who left Topeka an uncertain quantity are now toying with the pride of the league! Yesterday was error day at Omaha, the Rourkes making eight and the Kaws five. Pick, Pa's prise third baseman, kicked four good ones and was relieved by Capt. Shlpke. Niehoff hobbled with two. And Billy Breiten steln held up the record for Topeka, making three. It seems this Western race is get ting hot enough from the leaders down to Ds Moines, who aa yet have not warmed up. ine Kaws naa not warm ed until this last trip so there may still be hope for the "Hopefuls." Manager Moore probably will go Into the game here tomorrow. The report is he has entirely recovered from his nervous breakdown and will burn up the second sack territory the same as before. Des Moines Capital: Des Moines fans turned out in large numbers to the Me morial day games. Three thousand peo ple paid admission fee to the park. It was a good-natured crowd and they were very joyful when Des Moines cap tured the opening mix. St. Joseph Gazette: "We've got the beat ball club in the league," reiter ated Owner Jack Holland, last night. "and we'll hit our stride in a lew days and when we do we'll begin to overhaul some of these fellows." The Drummer magnate is right, too. In dividually and collectively the Drum mers are ball player to be feared by the other clubs. Lincoln was mighty lucky to win that game yesterday and the breaks won't be against the Drum mers always. Some pitcher is In for an awful drubbing when that bunch be gins to hit, too. Pueblo Chieftain: Manager Isbell says the work at Selee park is going along to suit him, and he is perfectly satis fied with everything that is being done under the direction of the local organ ization of fans, who is responsible for placing Pueblo back in the Western league. "I haven't a kick to offer in fact I am more than pleased with every thing," said Izzy, after he had taken a peek at the ball yard.

The boys lost one game at St. Joseph through nothing but hard luck. When you consider that they have been on the road practically the entire season, with but a few games at home, you will agree with me that they are doing good work. When they get hero on the home grounds and get a chance to rest up, then is when they will do the playing. I have, no fear tha.t the fans will be disappointed with a man on the club. "They are real ball players and men who are doing their very best to win games every day." Omaha Bee: "It's none of your busi ness," said Owner John Hlgglns of the Des Moines Western league baseball team last night at the Rome, when asked whether it was true as reported that he was negotiating a deal with Frank Isbell to dispose of the Des Molaes franchise and had come here to meet him. Thereupon Owner Higglns launched upon an excoriation of the city. of Omaha, Its baseball men and managers and its newspapers. "Tou may say that I have not seen Base Bali Western League Sioux City vs. Kaws Saturday, Sunday, Monday June 3, 4 and 5.

The carcass was buried in a shallow hole. The taxdermist alluded to. H. B. Paramore, as soon as the circus moved on, uncovered the carcass and removed several strips of the remaining hide. In places this was an Inch and a quar ter in thickness. Interest in the matter has lateiy been revived and the proprietor of a local museum is understood to be ar ranging for a search for. the skeleton of the animal.

MADE GOOD The up-to-date Motorcycle has pass ed the experimental stage. It haa been devoleped from an impractical piece of machinery to the most prac tical, economical, durable and reliable means of transportation to be pro cured. A number of good motorcycles could be named but for all general purposes the Yale has won a reputation for re liability that might well be envied by manufacturers of other machines. In the Western F. A. M. Endurance contest, Oct. 7th, 1910, the Yale team, three riders, made a perfect score for 22 93 miles, which stands aa the long est most strenuous contest for motor cycles that has ever been held. The Yale for 1911 is much improved over those that made this remarkable run so that it is easy to understand why agents for Yale motorcyclea are find ing no difficulty in disposing of a large number of machines. In fact Yale riders are satisfied and one rider tells another. J. C. Harding Co., of 106 East 6th st., who are agents for the Yale in To peka, have already disposed of as many motorcycles this spring as they had expected to sell during the entire season. They have a very neat cata log which 'they will mail or give to anyone who will ask for it. $1 a Week Fays Your.

It's the rule and not the exception there for the favorites to win the big races. 1 Eastern editors will please take par ticular notice of the fact that the last tornado to bo sighted in Kansas passed ever the state at such an altitude that It did no- damage whatever. This Is also the season of the year when one or more of the graduates of the high schools In the pieces that they peak do not fall to remind their friends that they are "standing- with reluctant feet, where the brook and river meet." i Champ Clark Is evidently determin ed to keep his eye fixed firmly on that Democratic presidential nomination. He has tef used to take part In the row amongst the Democrats over the hand ling of the wool schedule which has been started by William Jennings Bryan. Coming as it does at the season When the weather is hot, the an nouncement that aged Peter Sharp, of Pittsburg, Kan., and his two aged Wives are figuring on going Into vaude ville and also writing a book, will likely cause many of the long-suffering public to give up the ghost. From the, manner la which Mrs. Jack Cudahy is keeping in the lime right with an announcement that she rnust have more contral over her children. It may be possible that she is figuring on accepting one of those theatrical engagements offered her. All t,he free advertising she can get would therefore coma in bandy. President Bush Is an unique Mis souri Pacific official compared with those who have held the high places with this company in the past. He believes In deeds as well as prom ises and has ordered 60,000 tons of steel rails to use on the lines of this eompany In Missouri and Kansas. Most of them are' to be put down In Kansas. Justice Harlan.' of the United States supreme ceurt, la seventy-eight years eld. He says he has been ill only twice In his life. Inasmuch as h does not specify the occasions, it might be as sumed. In view of the-way he pro tested, that It was the decisions of his confreres in the Standard Oil and To bacco trust cases which made him lea- Uncle Tim" Hill, the empire build er of the northwest, has ever been noted for being forehanded. However he seems to be going a trifle beyond the limit in this particular, in placing a mortgage on. the Great .Northern railway company and its holdings to the extent of $600,000,000. A little over half of this huge sum is to be used to refund outstanding obligations, while the balance $270,000,000 is to be held available for development of the railroad property during the next 60 years. Because of the decision of the su preme court in the Tobacco trust case and the indications of an open market in the iron and steel traCe, conditions have reached the unsettled stage in the stock market and there has-been a, decided slump. Maybe there is reason In this situation for worry among; the stock broker and specu lators, but out here in the great west the people Just now are worrying about getting enough hands to help gather In their harvest of golden grain which will produce more new wealth in the United States than any and all possible activities In Wall street. t On one occasion some years ago Attorney General Wickersham receiv ad a $26,000 fee from the sugar trust, But since holding his- high office he has secured for the government some $2,000,000 from the sugar -trust in restitution for custom frauds practiced by It, He, or bis assistants, have also been responsible for sending several employees of the sugar trust to Jail for being mixed up in falsely weighing sugar at ports of entry. So there can be no Intimation that the personal fee received at one time by Mr. Wick eraham from the sugar trust has preju diced him In lta favor, or prevented his proceeding against it when the occa sions have demanded. i j TAG DAY. It comes tomorrow. And every man and woman In Topeka ought willingly to .respond In generous fashion. For this year, the money that is raised through this general solicitation of the people of the city is going to be de voted exclusively to the purposes of local Anti-Tuberculosis society.- The maintenance "of the consump tion camp on the North side is one of the very finest charities that was ever undertaken by the public-spirited citi zens of this locality. Here the indi gent unfortunates who are afflicted with the great white plague are given the best possible care and treatment. No people are more helpless than those who suffer In the advanced stages of consumption. Caring for' them, mak ing their last days on earth more com fortable, with always the good chance of checking the disease and restoring their health, is a magnificent work. But the conduct of this camp is more than a charity. It renders large service on the entire citizenship of Topeka. It provide for the Isolation of the consumptives in the city. This is the greatest possible factor in re ducing the spread of the disease in a community to a minimum. Therefore, not only la the tuberculosis camp on the North side a charity of noble pro portions. It is also an important safe guard to society. No activity could be more worthy of the support of the whole people of the city. Tag Day provides the nec essary medium for taking up a general subscription from almost every one In town. So let's be prepared tomorrow when the enthusiastic workers come around to respond to their tagging In a substantial way. DECORATE FOR FAIR WEEK. Some idea a to what will be the magnitude and the tremendous scope of the state fair to bo held In Topeka this fall can be gained from the pre mium list which is now being dis tributed throughout Kansas and neigh boring states. It conveys the informa tion that no less than $40,000 in pre miums and prizes will be distributed. This Is a prize list that will compare more than favorably with those of the largest state agricultural expositions in the country. It demonstrates conclu sively 'that the Topeka fair this year is going to be a wonder, of surpassing size and variety to any that ha ever been held In Kansas. For there will be no trouble- In attracts g exhibitors from Kansas and other states to the fair. The diversified list Of large premiums is a guarantee of that. No better balanced exposition could be arranged, comprising as it will fine exhibitions of all kinds of live stock, all branches of agriculture, horticul ture, art and education, and many specialties allied with each of these activities. Then there 1 to be an ex cellent collection of amusements and a better racing program than has ever been provided at any place in Kansas. Not only that, but fair week will also be the occasion for a big celebration In Topeka appropriate to the Kansas semi-centennial anniversary.- Stren uous efforts are going to be. made to make it a home-coming week for for mer Topekans who have set up their Lares et penates in other lands. A big carnival, with a parade of floats. is also planned. Kansas avenue will be blazing forth with its great white way system In working order. And surely it Is not out of place to suggest that the merchants and the householders, especially those living near the but In ess districts, decorate their buildings as profusely as possible with flags and bunting for this week of September 11-15, which will probably prove to be one of the most moment ous weeks in the history of Topeka. There will be thousands of people here from other portions of Kansas and from neighboring states. Many of the fair exhibitors who are big and In fluential citizens at home will come from distant states.

It may be that they .become tariff-makers because thy are so seri ous or It may be that they become so serious because they have to make tariffs. However that may be, which ever is cause and whichever Is conse quence, tariff-making and seriousness go together. William McKinley could make more campaign speeches without one single Joke in them than any other political leader of his day.. Congress man Dingley was a grave and serious man who seldom if ever did any un bending before the public. Roger Q Mills and William L. Wi.son were less typical. the former being serious In deed, but far from dispassionate, and the latter being capable -of figures of speech and pleasantry. But then neither of them made a tariff that lasted. Aldrich makes "Jokers," but very seldom. In. public at least, makes Jokes, and never, never was known to fire off a rhetorical skyrocket. Gorman was another man of the "addition, di vision and silence" type, rarely raising his voice or letting his temperature get above the norma:, serene- js. Payne teems to be a very-matter-of- fact man who does no oratorical stunts and is guilty of no trlfllry When, therefore, we find in the sketches of Oscar W. Underwood, such expressions as "Underwood is no ora tor' "his voice la even and lacks mod ulation," "he looks and acts like .a modern business man." "the House listens to him for what he has to say and not for anything engaging in his manner of saying it," wa may feel as sured. He is the right type for a tariff-maker. Any other type of man would die at the Job. Undoubtedly the Wilson tariff was what .killed Wilson. He wasn't the right type of man. They even say that Senator Uolltver's death .was due to the. strain of mastering one schedule the cotton schedule of the Payne-Aldrich bill. But Un derwood will not be killed off by the tariff that he is going to make. He will thrive on It. He will keep his head and keep his temper and his voice will continue to be even and to lack modulation. JOURNAL ENTRIES People who pretend to be rich have a most unsatisfactory time of It.

D. correspondent of the Kingman Journal points out tha.. "an ounce of keeping your mouth shut Is worth a pound of explanation." An'lnrtldent that happened at Bellaire on the Rock Island line, as related by the Smith County Pioneer: Two ho boes were plodding wearily along on the ties and one of them paused, Btuck his head in at the window and said gruffly to the operator: "Pardner, re port two empties going east." a vnimo- counle attended church to gether, relates the Herndon Nonpareil. When the collection was being taken up the young man began fishing around in his pockets for a dime. His countenance evidenced his great em barrassment as he whispered to his lady love, "I guess I have not got a solitary cent upon me I changed my nants." The vounsr lady, who had been examining the unknown regions of her habiliments for her purse, turned Deau- tlfully pink as she whispered: "I'm in the same fix." Aviation note in the Kingman Lead er-Courier: There was a free exhibi tion of flying machines Friday morn ing in the neighborhood of the Atlacson home but as it had not been advertised in advance there was only Mrs. Cot trell and Mrs.' Atlacson to witness the affair. Mrs. Clark was present and took an active part In the maneuvers. It all happened thusly: Mrs. Clark had loaded two sewing machines Into a spring wagon and had dropped the lines to arrange them in some way and the horses took fright and ran away, spilling the machines and other con tents of the wagon in short order. Mrs. Clark luckily "lit on her feet" and was uninjured aside from, being "pretty considerable shuck up like" but both sewing machines were badly wrecked. Every once in a while I get to think ing -that my pathway Is over a pretty road In this life, writes Bert Walker in his Osborne Farmer.

We all have a spillway when It comes to talking. A boy doesn't really appreciate his home until he has run away from it a few times. Other men don't think you good looking because they admire their own type better. Count McGowan says he Is going to Electric park, in Kansas City, to see the cynic railway. When a man says he wants your conscientious opinion you probably have better sense than to tell it. There are exceptions to the rule, generally accepted In country towns, that all brokers get rich at it. An old man devotes almost as much attention to the thermometer as a young man does to his ateady girl. Any man Is willing to swat the fly In the morning, but he is usually too sleepy at that hour to take accurate aim. Some men can' part their name in the middle and get away with it, but a good many more nave tried it ana failed. Don't hate to move so badly, that you will put up with a neighborhood rows -thM is a pretty iair sizeu wunu, after all.- There seems to be no exception to the rule that the man who wants a drink and has the price to pay ior it. gets it. If citizens could be deported as easily as aliens can. every town and a few rural communities would lose population. Excepting for the disgrace that falls upon innocent ana wortny relatives, a lot of people would bo better off in Jail. KANSAS COMMENT PRINT PAPER AND THE TARIFF. Newspapers devote lots of space and energy telling about the troubles of others and how to remedy them, but seldom get very enthuaiastia about their own. In "fact the newspaper is a sadly neglected institution from the standpoint of laws. No one ever heard of anyone lobbying for a law that would -help the newspapers. No one ever heard of anyone being fined for "licking the editor," or ever passing u law to prevent the editor from -getting licked. But for once the fates have been appeased and the newspaper is being reckoned with in the investigation of the tariff regulations as affected by the reciprocity law with Canada. Our friends, the manufacturers of print paper and the average, dally newspaper's print paper bills would make the ordinary mortals pale .from fright the good friends who are for ever predicting a print paper famine and urging "a big purchase while it's cheap," when called before the con gressional investigating committee to tell about the effect the proposed tar iff would have on the paper industry, raised a loud voice of lamentation and threatened ruination of their business, should they be thrown Into open competition with the Canadian out put. They argue that if the tariff is removed from pulp-wood, pulp and paper, as proposed, they would be un able to compete with the Canadian manufacturers. j This is an old hue and cry, lxowever. What did further investigation show? The cost of production by the best equipped mills in this country Is plac ed at $25.38 per ton, while the low cost in Canada, under- aimilar condi tions, is- $28.17.- Not very much vari ation in these figures, to be sure, and nothing to Indicate the Americans would be placed at a serious disad vantage in competing with the Cana dians, especially when freight rates are taken Into consideration New ton Kansan-Republican. DETERIORATION. Frank Chance, the great Chicago baseball player,- may have to quit the game because of his physical condi tion, which alarms his friends. Dur ing his distinguished career on the diamond Mr. Chance ha been hit on the head by pitched balls forty-nine times. The last time was about a month ago, and since then he has been unable -to sleep, and haa been losing flesh, and ii threatened with nervous prostration. It has often been aaid that the race In becoming effeminate, that it is losing those rugged qualities which distinguished the Spartans, and this story seem to lend color to the theory. If a professional ball player can't have his head hit by pitched balls fifty or a hundred times, without a demonstration of unmanly weak ness, there ie something wrong. If you accept the theories of tha fans who attend ball games, the heads of most players are composed of bone or leather, and such heads should be almost indestructible. Emporia Ga zette. THE GOSPBJL jOF, HEALTH. Louisiana' commands credit for an innovation, in Jhe natter of preaching the gospel of heatth. The credit is all the more deserved because Louisiana has not heretofore: been very active in matters or progress In any direction. Other states and cities have sent out exhibit trains, shewing the products and resources of te farm and factory, but Louisiana is the first state to send out a health train, with men in eharare to demonstrate in the small towns and rural communities the best methods of securing better sanitary conditions. The health train idea originated with Dr. Oscar Dowling, president of the Louisiana state board of health. who Is making a tour of the state. His train consists of a car in which there is an exhibit of modern methods of curing and preventing disease, another m wnicn it is shown how rood should be cared for and prepared, and a third car in which the doctor and his assist ants live while preaching the gospel of health. No greater service could be per formed than this work for the im provement of the health of the peo ple, the greatest asset of any state or nation. There is room in every state for a campaign for better sanitary conditions of living and working, bet ter water supply, adequate sewerage, cleanliness in slaughter houses, dairies, markets and bakeries, healthful con ditions In schools, auditoriums, jails. restaurants, railroad stations and other places where people gather in large numbers. There in a wide and fertile field, too, for the Instruction of the people in the methods of caring for food supplies and preparing food. St. Paul Pioneer Press. WHY GOVERNMENT IS EXPENSIV The tremendous cost of maintaining the federal government Is a subject for statesmen to talk about in every cam paign, but none of them has bad the hardihood to make the reduction of expenses his especial mission in pub lic life. The member of congress who solves the problem will strike a popu lar cnord In public sentiment every where, except, perhaps, in Washing ton. But there is no likelihood of re vision of expenses until the established system of conducting the government's business is reorganized. An under standing of the conditions at the na tional capital makes it a matter of little difficulty to comprehend why the statesmen shirk this particular re sponsibility. The magnitude of the government is an appalling revelation that awaits every new representative or senator. His first impression is that it Is a wonderfully big machine, and his second is that congress Is a mighty small part of the "works." Where to begin to reduce expenses is a problem that looms up in discouraging propor tions the more he studies the situa tion. Every congressman knows that there Is extravagance everywhere in the conduct of the federal government. He sees it in every place in Washing ton and understands that it should be corrected. Nothing is plainer than that the big concern is full of leaks through which the public funds are running "to waste every day; but any one ofthe "leaks" that a single states man could stop would amount to such a small savins: that ne stows discour aged at the result, gives up the fight, surrenders "to The Things That Are. and goes along with the general scheme. About the most effective way to waste time in Washington Is to try to interest congressmen or- the federal officials in a plan to reduce the cost of running the government, Kansas City I Time.

FiniHno- himself in the little green park a good half hour too early for his appointment witn unanaier, w stin on the links. Peters fussed about. and finally walked aimlessly over to a corner thick with flowering bushes. He was hungry and wished he hadn t promised to dine with ms inena, wnoeo mania, for coif would keep him playing till the last seoond. But he was enjoy ing his two days in the city, even though Chandler, strangely enough, had not offered to take him to see nis fiancee his letters had -been full or Nan's perfections, and the preparations for a September wedding ana wis was June. Chandler looked "down,", toi thin and strenuous. Then Peters cocked his ear ar a queer, smothered sound. He sprang up from the grass where ne naa inrown himself. It was like a woman crying. Walking into the bushes, he saw a white-clad girl with her arms flung along the back of the bench she sat side wise upon, and her head, yellow tn the setting sun, laid low in her hands. She was crying in a smothered way. He looked at the caddy-bag beside her, saw that she was a lady, and aeciaea to speak. He came near and lifted his hat. "Could I be of any service?" She started at his voice, leaping to her feet, her blue eyes angry through thick tears, then she saw he was of her own kind,' and grew simply stiff, but courteous. "Thank you, no! I shouldn't be here I'll go as soon as she bit her Hp and her face worked a little: than sho tried to smile. "I simply did a very foolish thing a week ago. and I -was waiting here and got to remembering it and was sorry He again start ed to go, but a group of loafers passed, and he thought better of it. She saw his purpose and made room for him. "Thank you I am a little afraid it's outrageous my being here alone I really can't explain. But some one came out to the links whom I simply could not meet! I escaped here-r-and couldn't help crying and my face- looks so swelled, I didn't want to take the car until dusk. Evejybody would notice. My motor exploded a tire." Peters listened gravely, thinkine her face very charming and brown and healthy, despite its tear-stains. She was furtively dabbing it with some thing wrapped in her handkerchief and the shiny look disappeared. -His curiosity was aroused. What foolish thing did you do?" he asked calmly. She stared. "It doesn't matter. It's too late to mend It I got angry about nothing and sent somebody away and then wished that person would come back." "Send for him." he susrs-ested. "since you did the dismissing." She twisted her handkerchief into a ball. "I think I'll go in at minute. No: he'll have to come back himself but. or course, he can have ten smoking rooms if he wants them if he wants to get away from me some times) that Is, he would have- it was vague, but she was very young. meters, smiled, picking up her clubs for her and handing her her hat which lay on the grass. She put the latter on, twitching It to place. "If that person could find out what I thought of myself without my having to tell him but he won't; And he's stubborn he said he wouldn't come until I sent for him! As if I would ever do thatnot If I die an Old maid?" finished Peters with joy. nut you won't. There is a world full of men who will come with out being sent for, nicer None a thousandth part as nice!" she corrected, rising. "I wish I were dead!" She -sighed, and he wajked beside her. "I will put you on the car. Never do this again evidently you have been well taken care or, and don t know how annoying loafers might be In a lonely place like this." Then a little light came to him. Why wouldn t you meet him on the links?" She gave him a disdainful look. "A if I'd let him see me crying about him!" "But you weren't crying out there? were you?" She looked ruefully at her slim hands and shook her head, much as a child might. "No, but I should have been the minute he looked at me, and that. catty thing of a Pauline Evers watch ing us she is in love with him her-, self." Peters was deeply interested. Chan dler had written about a Pauline Evers who was to be a bridesmaid or something equally grand. "She pretends she Is sorry we have broken off. but she Isn't. I wonder what he'll do with the house?" Tears came as she stood waiting for the car which did not appear. Then, sudden ly, Peters remembered that his friend must be searching for him, and turn ed hastily-to look yes, there Chandler came, his long legs tearing along over the grass, his dark hair tousled,- his cap in his hand, his broad shoulders back. "There he is," he explained, "a man who was going to take me to dinner. She turned and gave a little gasp. Then, as he lifted his hat and .was going to leave her, she caught at his sleeve. Chandler was very near. "Don't leave us," she implored. "Whisper your name, quick!" Peters did so. "Anybody here might have in troduced you on the club grounds, you see. I will not be left alone with him." "But I've a dinner- engagement with him; what shall I do? who?" "I'm Nan Shepherd." she finished in I the same whisperj '"Don't -you- dare desert me! Do you suppose I'd have spoken if I hadn't known you were Remley Peters?" But Chandler was upon them. His eyes wide, he lifted hut hand to raise his hat, and then foolishly remem bered that he was bare-headed, and gave the -lady he had been going to marry in September a stiff, courteous little bow. She laughed, as if Peters had Just been telling her something very very funny. He could have shaken her; then she lifted her in nocent blue eyes to his face. "It's lovely of you, Mr. Peters, to insist on taking me home I really don't know what motherd do to me if she saw me coming home alone, and it's really; almost dark dusk, anyhowl Don't you play? You should! If you get enthusiastic enough, golf can take the place of anything else in the world to you! And then if you're a man and can smoke, nothing else matters, really! It must be lovely to be a man, and so independent things hurt wom en. It's foolish, of course." She wa chattering this utter drivel in a quick, rapid way -that made Chandler give her an odd side glance. Peters was tired of being used like this, wondering how he was to ex plain to Chandler, and all the rest, when a new idea seized him. A few other men and girls came up. Miss Evers among them. A car had broken down, and there was' trouble on the line, so the wait was still on. Peters gradually drew the girl back until they stood quite alone, and en gaged her In talk he could be very nonsensical. He could see Chandler's jealous wrath from the corner of his eye, and rejoiced. Then, on the ely. he beckoned Chandler, who In a mo ment stood beside them stiffly. "Chandler," he said, "Mlas Shep herd is tired of me, and wants you to see her home. I'm afraid she Isn't quite well I found her. crying on a bench under the trees yonder because she had made a foolish mistake about something, and didn't want to meet somebody she knew on the links. I wonder If you know anything about it?" Nan turned a furious but tear blinded look upon him; she stamped slightly. "How J hate your friend, Remley Peters!' she said, but Chandler had stepped up and had gently taken her arm. Peters walked off, knowing he would dine alone, not caring that he was being called beast. He hated nonsense and he wouldn't have good old Chand ler made miserable another minute for any girl's silly whim he had seen him trailed for the last three years before she would decide to have him at all, and then to let mere pride about "speaking first" spoil things. He was going to advise Chandler, once having married her, to keep the upper hand. Not that he would take advice. At length the belated car. appeared, and all made a rush to get on. Pau line Evers, who had been busy flirting with young Trent, suddenly caught sight of Jlmmie Chandler putting Nan Shepherd carefully into a seat, and her dark eyes grew big with their utter astonishment. "Will you look at the reconcilia tion?" she whispersd to the girl next her. Her voice was a little bitter. "How some girls can get a man un der their thumbs and then play fast and loose with htm, beats me! Well. I knew from the first that whatever they quarreled about was a foolish thing. It always is."

The affair is an important event r alj weddings re important; but stone more so than "the one in the country.: The family ef the bride has long lived' in the community; every neighbor for miles around Is invited, mho rurniture has been set out of doors to make room for the guests. The-crowd fills every available spot from the kitchen to parlor. The bride's mother la ner vously effusive, the father is doing his best to make himself useful. A hurried rehearsal Is held in the upstairs bed room, the bashful groom stumbling over every possible obstacle, the bride answering at the wrong place in the service. In the bay window "of the parlor a bower of lace, vines and rugs has been arranged. The organist of tho neighborhood is playing a soulful love-ballad. Deftly, from much ex perience, the minister guides the palpi-1 tating bridal party from stairway to window-nook and performs the cere mony. Then come congratulations. xne pretty bride is kissed by every young man of the neighborhood, despite her frantic efforts to avoid it. There is laughter and hearty good-will. The minister sits at the head of a long table: supper is served a bounteous. overwhelming supper, with all the skill of an expert housewife's effort expend-, ed on ita preparation. It is rioh with the product of farm, garden, and dairy, satisfying In every feature. It may. lack cut lass and solid stiver, it is not served by trained waiters, but it has a home-likeness that appeals to every guest. Following may come songs and a good old-fashioned visit,, for. the neighbors do not often meet on social occasions. Suddenly breaks out the In evitable charivari what would a country wedding be without It? Tin pans, snot guns, yens, ana every noise that healthy country boys can devise, make the night hideous. The groom pretends to be much vexed, the bride appears frightened but at heart they feel that it is in a way a irmute to their popularity. They know how to stop it the serenaders are taken to the kitchen and given the "treat" they had expected. By and by the bride and groom drive away. They have gone. as the local paper win say in its report next week, "to the groom's fine farm where has been fitted up for them a commodious residence." C- M. iiar- ger, in the June Atlantic.

United States district attorney, for action un less they voluntarily made a satisfac tory offer of compromise at once. Replies to the notices are coming In plentifully, but apparently many of the orporationn have a wrong Idea of the reason for the notice from the collec tor. A large number of the 1.000 1 de linquents already have filed their statements, but they were not received t the collector's office until after March 1. Consequently they are held as liable to tine as corporations which l.ave not filed any statement, and must effect a compromise or be subject to mV action of the district attorney. Variety of Excuses Offered. A varied assortment of excuses Is be ing offered, according to Mr. Leidy. Some corporations state they simply nflglected to make the reports, others pl-ad the absence of an officer others Lie positive that never again will they hi found wanting. ,'It is doubtful If any one of the de linquent corporations will neglect mak ing 8 report next year.

RAID 50 JOINTS IN TWO WEEKS. Then Ouster Is Brought Against Leav enworth City Officials. Leavenworth, Kan., June 2. So they're going to put Leavenworth's mayor and its chief of police right out of office Just because a Joint or two sold liquor, are they? It's spite work In the opinion of J. T. Taylor, the head of the Leavenworth police depart ment spite work on the part of po licemen who were let out by the pres ent administration. Some one has told the attorney general "mean" things about the town and stirred up more trouble for "poor old Leaven worth."

Mrs. J. il. Snyder, After Struggle With Poverty, loses Her Mind. One of the most pitiable cases that has reached the probate court in months came to the attention of Judge Schoch this morning, when he held court in a little room at 331 Jackson street to determine the sanity of Mrs. Lizzie Snyder. For months a little family of three have made their home In one room on the second floor of a house on Jackson street. Nov: the wife and mother, her mind affected from overwork and anxiety, will go to the state hospital. J. R. Snyder, the woman's husband, is employed by the Santa Fe at Wins low, Ariz., but the emali sura which he each month sends to Topeka is in sufficient to provide the needs of the home. A son, 17 years old, works a portion of the time, but his income is small. A sister of Mrs. Snyder has cared for her for months. In- the single room the three have lived much of the time since coming ti Topeka. At the present time the sister is sick and In serious need of medical atten tion, which the family rurse will not provide. Her care of Mrs. Snyder has been faithful and day and night she tried to comfort the woman and sup ply her wants. Some weeks ago- the family was found in need by officers of the Provident association. They rave assistance and a representative from the police matron's office also helped to make the family comfort able. Mrs. Snyder believed that members of her family were trying to abandon her and at times she has shown sui cidal tendencies. An effort will be made to provide for the little family while Mrs. Snyder is in the hospital. LITTLE BOY LOST. Two-Year-Old Wanders Away From Home. Who has seen a two-year-old boy, not able to talk plain, dressed in a blue gingham dresa without any hat or shoes? His hair to light and his eyes are blue. The two-year-od son of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Weese of 1260 Monroe street answers to this description and has been missing from his home since 19 o'clock thia morning. It is report ed that he was seen going toward Kansas avenue. Up to press time he had not been found, but the police and others are on the look-out for him. Mrs. Weese had been up town shop ping. A neighbor. Mrs. Ed Redic, was sewing at the house. She missed the baby about 10 o'clock. At first she thought he had wandered a little distance and would .soon be back. However, she soon started a diligent search, notifying Mr. Weese and oth ers. The boy had wandered away from home for a short time before, but has always returned or has been found without any trouble. The fact that he can not talk plain enough to be understood would give a stranger some trouble in identifying him. However, those who know he was wearing a blue gingham dretw, without hat or shoes will likely recognize the missing baby as soon as they see him. WHERE TO HOLiTlT. "Sane Fourth" Movement Waits on a Location. And still the question as to where the "Sane Fourth" celebration will be held has not been solved. A meeting of the committee in charge of arrangements was held this noon at the Commercial club, but no decision was made. The street railway company offers to take the crowd to Viraewood for a round trip fare of 10 cents, and admit the people free to the grounds, and there are some features of this proposi tion that appeal to the members of the committee. The state fair grounds also offer oth er inducements. The grounds are larger and more open, and this would make an idenl spot for relay races,' children's drills, a balloon ascension and other aftrnon attractions aside from fire works and a band concert in the even ing that this tract has its advantages over the other places mentioned. A meeting will be held tomorrow noon when it is hoped to be able to come to a definite decision so that a program can be mapped out. Meanwhile the movement to obtain a fund to buy fireworks is at a standstill. No more money is being contributed. MAKE GOOD SHOWING. Washburn Ceramic Class Show Work at College. One of the interesting displays of the fine arts school of Washburn college itf that of hand-painted china, the work of the students in the ceramic; depart ment. Mrs. Catherine W. Lindsay is in charge of the department and to her belongs great credit for the excel lent work done the past year. While the class has not been large, numbering only 13, the amount of work done in an exhibitional quality is particularly large. Two of the i; rse rooms on the second floor of Bcswell hall are filled with the china. It is a display- worthy of a visit. One of the best pieces of work is an ei tire dinner set done in a convention al design of gold by Miss" Henrietta Ford. An especially large and beau tiful punch bowl set is the work of Miss Dorothy Morris. Ice cream sets by Mispes Romona Chilcott and Mav-g'ie-ite Mertz. and a sweet pea choco late set by Miss Clara Scott are no ticeable. Satsuma decorated pieces by Miss Rheva Pauly and Clare Scott are gooi copies of the famous Japanese work. Miss Pauly has the largest display of all the students and in cludes most of the usual articles. Miss Marie Glover also has a large displav. a jardinier snd a nut bowl beiTa: anions her best pieces. A tankard anrl stein set is the best thins do-e by Miss Verne Casebeer. A eomnort and Jiir.inier by' Miss Elizabeth Man-sr-eaker are attractive articles. Put the display should be sen to be appreciated or to give an idoa of the vast amount of work and pnt'ence. not to say skill, required to place so many pieces on exhibition. ARCH FOR FAIR GROUNDS Contract for. Handsome Entrance Is Awarded Today. Contract for the erection of the new stone arch entrance at the state fair grounds was let today to Cuthbert Sons. Their bids for the work, except ing electrical construction, was J2.454.50. Cuthbert Sons and the Sargent Cut Stone company were competitive bid ders. On their total bids, which in cluded stone work and electrical con struction, there was just $4.50 differ ence. The Cuthbert bid was J3.O79.50, while the Sargent bid was $3,075. Mak ing exceptions of the electrical work, Cuthberta reduced their bid $625, while the Sargent people made a reduction of but $430. When the commissioners counted the money on hand for improvements at the fair grounds, they uecided to ex empt the electrical display. Thia gave the contract to the Cuthberta. The new entrance is to be of Silver Dale stone facing, with base of Carth age or Phoenix above the Silver Dale stone. The work on the new entrance is to be completed in time for the opening of the fair next September. While the commissioners exempted the electrical arrangements in letting the contract, it is probable that the fair association will make arrangements for its installment at the time the en trance is built. There is now about $2,400 in the county fund with which to build new walks and the $525 necessary to complete the work on the entrance may be raised from outside means by the" fair association. ing.

June 2, While the first government report of the season on the coming cotton crop, issued today, showed a condition far above the ten year average, coupled with a substan tial increase in acreage, it was with out any material effect on prices. The market broke to a net less of about 6 to 14 points, but prices were steadied by trade buying at the decline and prices within half an hour of the pub lication were not more than a point or two under yesterday's close.

EVERY POINT CONTESTED Gonlon-Munn Attorneys Load Record witta Objections. the Much testimony was introduced to day in the Gordon-Munn case that was of value to the plaintiff in tht cant. Numerous witnesses told of Gordon's statements to the effect that himself end Mrs. Gordon had by mutual con sent destroyed the ante-nuptial agree ment and that he wished her to in herit the full widow's share of the es tate at his death. The taking of testimony was con tinually interrupted by objections from the defense, and the record was leaded with legal contentions of the six lawyers. Attorney Hite led the battle for Mrs. Munn today. He got to every technical point in the testi mony and fully half of the morning session was taken up with arguments of counsel. It was when the deposition of Roy Starr, her son, was read in court; and was followed by the deposition of her mother, that Mrs. Gordon broke down and wept. Her son is still in college In Pennsylvania and was unable tto attend the trial. His testimony was of much benefit to the plaintiff in th? case. But sitting in the big court room alone and suffering the nervous strain of the tedious trial. Mrs. Gor don was unable to stand the reading in Pennyslyania and was unable to keep back the flood of tears and left the court room. It was near'y noon when she returned to listen to the evi dence. The plaintiff has almost completed the rebuttal testimony. Some time this afternoon the Munn interests will offer a line of rebuttal evidence. It may be Saturday evening before they are able to complete the examination of Mrs. Munn's witnesses. GRAFTXASES GIVEN UP. Prosecutor Says Public Sentiment Has Changed. Pittsburg, June 2.

Republicans Amused by Democrat Apology tor Wool Tariff. Washington, June 2. The compro mise resolution adopted by the Demo crat caucus last night bringing about a union of the free wool and revenue tariff forces, came officially before the house today when Chairman Burleson, of the Democrat caucus, asked that it be read for the benefit of the house. The resolution follows: "Resolved, That the bill revising schedule K as presented to this cau cus by the majority members of the ways and means committee is not to be construed as an abandonment of any Democratic policy but in view of the Democratic platform demand for a gradual reduction of the tariff and of the depleted and depleting condition of the public treasury as a result of Re publican extravagance a tariff of 20 per cent advalorem on raw wool is now proposed as a revenue necessity." The reference to an abandonment of Democratic principles was greeted with laughter and applause on the Republi can side.

AGENCY H Phones 505 534 Kansas Ave, p Complaints that today reached the board of county commissioners have led to the issuance of an order for an expert examination of the new Kw river dike. Statements made in tha last few days have pointed to the theory that the new $113,000 dikes may not be worth a single dollar to Topeka in case of an emergency. In case the new dike is found to be unsafe the blame for the trouble may be laid at but one door. That is the office of the county engineer. In a statement made today, Parkhurst stated that the plans and specifica tions for the dikes had been araitea in his office. He also stated that since the work was let that he has kept an engineer and two inspectors on the job and that, so far as he has been able to learn, every detail has been followed by the contractors. But this does not appease the prop erty owners in the new dike district. It is these men who must pay the 113,000. They want a good job. Not only that, but they insist they shall get it. There is no uncertainty in the defects pointed out by persons who have watched the work. Samples of the concrete brought to the commis sioners court this morning, was decid edly inferior to the regular standard. Many pieces of concrete, picked up at the dike are porous, crumble under the pressure of the fingers and show that the material in the work has not been properly mixed. Men, who are acquainted with concrete work, de clare that the waters from the Kaw would eat away this material and a flood such as the waters of 1903, would leave the gTeat concrete wall a wreck and the north bottoms at the mercy of the flood. When it was decided to build the new dikes, a levy was made against the property owners in the affected district. Some of these men have been assessed as high as $2,000 as their proportion of the expense. When one of these property owners visited the dike this week, he declared that he would never submit to the payment of his assessment until he was certain that the work was properly completed. "Before I pay a dollar," said this man, "they must convince me that the concrete is properly mixed and that the materials used are not of an in ferior quality. I think when this job is completed, that I shall demand the privilege to Investigate the wall with a cold chisel. It won't take very long then, to determine whether the work wit! stand." V: There were similar complaints from other. These complaints reached the county commissioners. At present none of the commissioners wish to place the blame for the construction. locate the Responsibility. If the official investigation finds that the dike is not properly bui!t, that committee will also tell where the trouble lies. By some persons who have watched the work, it stated that the contractors have been too generous in an effort to save cc n.ent. Others have contended that the cement is of a low grade. Then too there are statements that Park hurst has not given the Job proper at tention. Still others state that the plans are not properly drafted and that the inspectors employed by the county engineer's office have not srhewn the proper diligence on the job. But these are matters for the com mittee to decide. The face of the dike is covered with a neat coat of pure cement, but this outside covering does not appease the wrath of some of the property owners in the north bottoms. They declare that the Inspectors and county en-: gineer should have insisted on the ban ishment of the gravity concrete mixer which Is used on the Job. This sri-oms to be one of the real sources of trouble. The mixer, it is claimed, does not mix at all, but merely separ ates the materials used and with every scoop full of concrete, therj is certain to be certain spots In the dike that show an unusual amount of cement, yhile others have not enough sand and are merely great chunks of sand and grit thrown in a hopeless pile. With the use of a rotary mixer, contractors claim, the concrete would be evenly mixed and every foot of the great dike would withstand an equal water press ure. But every day the gravity mixer has been busily dumping great heaps of sand, cement and Joplin grit in the massive forms of the new wall. Several days ago a Topeka man who is familiar with the process of mixing concrete, visited the Job. In a state ment made-today, he said that he saw a gang of negroes and Mexicans fill ing the big gravity mixer. One man stood near the mixer and dumped a onantity of cement Into the big pan. Others were busy shoveling rand and grit in the mixer and still other men T.re throwing buckets of water in the mixer. No concern as to proper proportions of either material was shown by the men. Yet all the time the county engineer'.' office had two inspectors and an engineer on the Job. Complaint was made of this ancient method of concrete mixing and a change was ordered. Now the inspec tors have ordered the building of boxes for the purpose of measuring the ce ment, sand and grit used in each load of concrete. Use of "Grif Criticised. But there are other complaints. From concrete men in Topeka come state ments that the county engineer's office again erred when it permitted the use of Joplin grit in the construction of the dike. This grit, it is claimed, is at least partly responsible for the porous condition of the concrete. These men state that Joplin grit makes a very satisfactory walk, but that it is de nied recognition by modern construc tion .men end is not used on dikes, bridges or large public buildings. Tet Joplin grit is permissible nnder the provisions of the plans and spedSca tions. These conditions, it Is claimed, may render the dike useless in case of high water. As soon as the thin outer coat of cement is chipped away, it is said that the millions and millions of pounds of water pressure, will tear the dike to pieces and render it a mass of hope less ruins. Even with good cement, proper mixing and the best of work manship, contractors say, it is a diffi cult task to build .a dike that will withstand the ravages of the rampage ous Kaw. Then they point with scorn to the condition of the present struc ture. Hears Much Complaint. "I know nothing of the condition of the dike," said Commissioner Shimer today, "but I have heard a great deal. Something seems to be wrong. Either the material is not properly mixed, or the materials are not what they should be. I have also heard statements to the effect that there are defects In the specifications. It is to investigate the trouble and learn Just where to place the blame- that we have asked tax payers in the dike district to name a committee to investigate the trouble and place the blame." Then Shimer picked up a chunk of, concrete that had been taken from the foundation of the dike. Under the pres sure of his fingers, the material crum bled like hardened dirt. The committee- to Investigate the dike, will be named by the. tax payers in the dike district. -They will be un-floi- thnnA men's special orders and in structions. When their investigation is completed, their report will be made to the county commissioners. On their report, only, will action be taken. Jones Brothers, of Leavenworth, who have the contract, declare that they have followed their instructions to the letter. They eay the dike is Jn good condition. Parkhurst Denies Charges. Engineer Parkhurst was a bit wroth when it was mentioned to him that there waa to be an investigation of the dike. "There is nothing to this thing, absolutely nothing," the engineer de clared, "there is always more or less complaint found with every Job; and of course this is one or mem. we have inspected every bit of material that has gone in the Job and have three men on the work all of the time. "The cement Is Iola Portland, of the 'Sunflower' brand and no complaint can be found with the Joplin grit. There Is also absolutely nothing to the report that one particle of mater ial went Into the dike that was not In proportion to the other material. "This trouble is all the result of statements made by a lot of knock ers," Parkhurst continued, "and I do not place any credence in any of it. If there is any fault to be found with the dike, it is for me to say what it is. That's what I am here for." But there are rumors that Mr. Park hurst Is not always en the Job and that he does not know of his own know ledge everything that happens. Mr. Parkhurst points to the fact that the contractors have deposited a $130,000 indemnity bond. But persons who are paying for the work mention the fact that this indemnity bond holds only until the Job is accepted and won't hold back the high water when it comes down the Kaw valley. The official investigation promises to. be either quite tame or to develop some sensational conditions in the construction of the big wall. Late this afternoon no statement had been made by the men in the flood district re garding the men to be appointed on the committee. IIEAIj ESTATE MEN ARE AWAKE.

After asking one of the graduates to remove a. huge palm which screened the center of the chapel rostrum at Washburn college this morning. Pr. Frank Lafayette Loveland launched into his address to the professional graduating classes and delivered one of the greatest speeches ever addressed to a body of graduates at the local college. Having-for his subject, "The Obliga tions of Greatness," Dr. Loveland, onceJ he had the classes under his eye, em phasised upon them the trust imposed in them and the. worth expected of them. "Only 2 per cent of our people ever go to college," he declared, "and from those 2 per cent come 90 per cent of the world's leaders. "To you graduates I would say that the world looks to you for more than your professionalism. "To you lawyers, I would say that if you are merely lawyers, then you are failures. "And to you doctors, if you are only practitioners, you, too, will be failures." But he qualified his admonition to become leaders by drawing a line be tween right and erratic leadership and thinking and therein lay the strength of his address and charge to the grad uates before him. The speaker ridiculed the popular as sertion that to be a leader a person must necessarily be a crank, holding that a crank is an erratic man, who lacks balancea monomaniac, A man may as well condone himself for being a lunatic as a crank, he declared. Good intentions, he argued, would win no lawyer a case or cure a patient for the doctor. "Principles," he said, "afford easy and obvious rhetorical treatment at very little expense of thought or brain sweat and, therefore, are very popular with the professional talkers and walk ing delegates." Narrowness In every branch fell under the speaker's lash and his closing exhortation was for the exercise of good sense. Justice Mason on Courts. Justice Henry F. Mason spoke to th law graduates particularly on "The Courts and the Public," dwelling large ly on the criticism of the courts. "The criticism of the courts by tha people at large is not valueless," he said, "but it may be too bold. It must be remembered that a court in making a decision on a certain matter may have to exercise caution in avoiding an infringement on some sound rule not altogether applicable in the matter .it hand. "It Is a wide contention that the court's decisions should be dressed in such a manner that their contents might be as well appreciated by the people as by the lawyers. Undoubtedly this would give them a clearer under standing and lessen criticism. "The only person who is absolutely barred by legal ethics from criticising a decision of a court," declared the jus tice to hte graduates, "is the attorney for the defeated litigant. He may not challenge the wisdom of the court." During the course of his speech. Jus tice Mason declared that the safest thing in the land was to criticise tn.? decisions of the courts beeause no member of any court ever attempts a prosecution of the guilty party. Ir. Porter to Doctors. Talking to the young doctors. Dr. M. C. Porter spoke on the topic of "Tha Young Practitioner." Curtly be told the young fellows the answer to tha. spectre before them How are we go ing to get patients and get their con fidence? "Deserve them," he said. He told them their relation to their professional brothers an the most important matter of all, for, he said, the laity would Judge the doctor ac cording to the estimate placed upon him by others of his own profession. The r.peaker asked himself the ques tion, "Why is the medical profession in its fight against diseases so bitterly opposed by the public?" He said the public readily accepted any form of curative medicine, but resisted all pre ventive measures. The greatest good the medical profession can do, he sug gested would be in creating a senti ment for the preventive treatment. The program for the anniversary of the professional aehools was embel lished by numbers supplied from the music school. A piano solo by Miss Pleasant King and a vocal solo by Miss Marie Wickwire and a piano octette were the number. The program follows: Processional. Invocation Reverend Frank Theo dosius Lee, D. D.

Clifford Harmon, the amateur aviator, who is just back from a trip to Europe, thinks America Is being outstripped in the flying game. "They are too fast for us over .there." he says. "They are flying every day and have big machines. We have nothing here that can compete with the French machines now. 1 don't know what the future will bring forth." With regard to his own plans, he says he is going to make experiments with water planes. "I have got a big Far man biplane." said he, "and to that I shall add a hydroplane attachment and also a catamaran to enable me to rise from water or land and also fly over land or water with perfect safety. Gra-hame-White constructed some of the parts of the water plane and I have also brought over some French me chanics to construct parts.

Democrats In Caucus Vote Unani mously for Underwood Measure. Washington, June 2. The pro posed Democratic revision of the wool tariff the Underwood bill was unan imously approved by the full Demo cratic caucus at midnight, twelve hours after it had been macie public by the ways and means committee. Its endorsement followed some rapid maneouvering by the Democratic house leaders, who devised a scheme which effectually disposed of the op position of the free wool advocates. Through a resolution which leaves the Democratic party open in the fu ture to renew its advocacy of free trade In raw wool, but which commits all Democrats to the support of the present bill as a revenue measure, the divergent interests were brought to gether in the caucus shortly before midnight and almost unanimous agree ment was reached. The final vote on the approval of the Underwood bill was made unanimous, but the following members were ex cused from a pledge to support the caucus action: Representatives Ruc ker Colo.), Ashbrook, Francis and Sharp (Ohio), and Gray (Ind.). No Free Wool Now. The resolution agreed on in a con ference of the free raw wool advo cates was introduced in the caucus by Representative Kitchin (N. C), who had advocated free raw wool. His resolution declared that the support of a duty on raw wool should not be construed as an abandonment of the Democratic policy of free wool. The need for a duty, the resolution stated, was due to Republican extravagances which made necessary large revenue. Speaker Clark took the floor im mediately and supported the resolu Since its foun dation, it has been the policy of this Company to embody in the R emiefirtoni in perfected form, the best typewriter ideas by whomsoever advanced.

When shown the Associated Press report of the ac tion of the Democratic caucus on the wool schedule, William J. Bryan thi3 morning gave out the following state ment: "The Democrats in congress are re sponsible to the country and to their constituents, and it remains to be seen whether their action will be endor.sed. The brief report which I have seen shows that the matter was fought upon a false basis and I shall be mistaken if the public is deceived by the pretense that it was levied for revenue. The amount raised by a tax on wool could be raised by a tax on raw silk or raw rubber with much more justice. I mention these two ways of making up the amount there are many other ways. The tax on wool would never be thought of but for the protective bene fit it is supposed to bring to wool grow ers. I think the party would have done better if it had honestly stated its reasons and declared itself in favor of protection to that extent. "However, in expressing my opinion, I am only speaking for myself, and the caucus may find the public more gulli ble than I think it. The declaration that this is not a surrender of the free wool doctrine is adding insult to injury, and I am surprised that any advocates of free wool accepted it as a reason for endorsing the committee bilL" Funeral Notice.

WHEATJSIRRATIC The July and September Option Take Different Course. One Delivery Is Up While Other Is Down. ABSENCE OF DEMAND Gives an Easy Tone to Corn at the Opening. Cattle Steady; Hogs Weak to 5 Cents Lower. Chicago, June 2. WHEAT Fear of manipulation brought about an Irregular, unsettled market today for wheat- The July and September options pursued dif ferent paths and during a great deal of the time one delivery was up when the other was down. Predictions however that world shipments would be more than 2,000,000 bushels in excess of last week tended to head off any general advance. The opening was c lower to He up. July started at 90c to 90c, the same as last night, to c down, rose to 91c and then fell back to 9090c. Scorching dry weather southwest caused later a decided return of strength which was added to by news of grasshoppers in Minnesota and of Hessian fly in Indiana. The close was easy on profit taking, July selling finally at 91c, a net gain of c. CORN Corn rallied because country sales were only fair. An easy tone at the outset was attributed to absence of any notable demand. July opened unchanged to He off at 53c to 54c and recovered to 5414c. With weather and crop conditions favor ing sellers the market subsequently eased off. The close was steady at 5353c, a net decline of c. OATS Strength development in oats be cause of dry weather complaints from France. Sellers were scarce. July start ed at 36(36c last night's level, to He below and then climber to 3636c. PROVISIONS Provisions were weak. First sales were 2g6e to 10c lower with July pork at 114.70 to $14.75 and September lard and ribs, $8.17 and $7.82. RYE No. 2. 93c. BARLEY 0(890c. TIMOTHY $12.00.

STOCKS Pronounced strength was shown in the opening transactions in stocks today with especial activity in the Steel group and the Hill stocks. United States Steel open ed with a block of 2,500 shares at 76 to 77 compared with the close last night of 76. Republic Steel preferred gained and Colorado Fuel a point. Great Northern preferred rose 1 and Northern Paciflo 1. The general list was active with a number of substantial gains, in cluding advances of by New York Cen tral and Union Pacific. Operations for the long account were conducted with great confidence and the eager absorption of all classes of stock Impressed the short Interest sufficiently to retire some of their outstanding con tracts. Certain stocks were influenced by special development such as the projects for listing abroad of Atchison and Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph and the financing of the Hill group but the mar ket in general reflected the change- in sentiment that has been the outgrowth of opinions expressed in the supreme court decision in the trust cases. Advances in the first hour ran between 1 and 2 points for many of the principal stocks. A number of stocks were carried to the highest level of the year this morning. The demand for railroad Issues was in spired largely by April reports, demon strating that effective steps had been taken to curtail expenses. Further weakness in American Tobacco securities had no effect on the general list- The common stock dropped 12 points to 400 on the "curb" and the bond Issues were also sold freely.
