Chicago is facing fin ice and miik famine as the result uf the continued hot weather. The heat has cut the supply of ice EO per cent. All the large companies report that they are unable to meet the demands of the large consumers. Yesterday a minimum demand of 30, 000 tons was met by the companies with the delivery of 15,000 tons. In dependent drivers took advantage of the situation to raise the retail price. The problem which puzzles the ice companies most is that of getting ice into the city. The extreme heat has been responsible for a shrinkage of fipproximately 30 per cent as against 10 per cent. Milk dealers are predicting the greatest shortage in the supply of milk ever experienced in the city. TAFT IS PLEASED. President Ileturns From Indianapolis Satisfied With Trip. Washington. Julv 6.

Drink ing and smoking In moderation are not morally wrong, in the opinion of Dr. A. E. Ballard, president of the Ocean Grove camp meeting associa tion. Nor does the doctor discounten ance the use of cigarettes, provided they are made of good tobacco. Speaking at the Ocean Grove Tab ernacle, Dr. Ballard said he was brought up in a family where liquor was used regularly and that he had never had any conscientious scruples about taking it. Many of the minis ters and others in the congregation disagreed with the speaker as to whether there was moral wrong In drinking, but Dr. Ballard smilingly in sisted that there was no wrong in the moderate use of stimulants. He said. however, that becoming interested, he looked into the matter of drunken ness in the United States, and on find ing such an amount of it, he decided that for the sake of example, if noth ing else, he must stop. With St. Peter. he believed that nothing of itself was unclean, but only insofar as it made our brothers offend did it become wrong. Smoked Many Year. As for tobacco, Dr. Ballard declared he could see no harm in the use of it. He said he had been a smoker until he was 50 years old, having started so young that he could not remember how early it was. At the request of the church, when he was 60, that its minister give up smoking for the sake of example, he had stopped it. Dr. Ballard was asked whether he countenanced the use of cigarettes and he replied: "Why, I don't see why not, provid ing, however, they are made of good tobacco. The trouble is that a great many cheap articles are on the mar ket which contain injurious drugs which do the harm when smoked and not tobacco." The general sense of the meeting seemed to be that it was one's duty to abandon anything the use of which proved harmful to others. TEACHERS POURING IN. First Influx of ST. E. A.

REIIEWSITS FIGHT The Government Again Attacks the Hard Coal Trust CyMeans of an Amendment to Former Complaint. EFFORT TO BE MADE To Break Up the System of Dummy Companies By Which the Supply of Anthra cite Is Controlled. Washington, July 6. The govern ment will renew the fight to disasso ciate the great coal carrying railroads from their virtual control of mines and thus vitalize the commodities clause of the interstate commerce law. A test case against the Lehigh Valley rail road will be filed today in the United Stales court in Philadelphia. That the Lehigh Valley Coal com pany, Coxe Brothers (inc.), the New York Middlefield Railroad Coal company and the Locust Mountain Coal Iron company are not bona fide coal companies, but merely adjuncts to the Lehigh Valley railroad and are "devices for evading the commodities cause," is the government's principal complaint. It is also alleged that the Lehigh Valley, with the object of removing competition, has caused the Lehigh Valley Coal company to contract at a loss for the output of other anthracite operators, has transported the coal over its own lines and through the coal company has fixed the price in New York and other markets. The govern ment charges that although the buying of coal from other operators has been done at a loss to the coal company, it has enabled the Lehigh Valley rail road to transport the coal over its lines and profit from the freight charges. To support its claim that the coal company is merely the "dummy," the government cites that the officers of the railroad and the coal company arc the same and that certain members cf the directorate and the executive com mittee of the railroad are members of the directorate and executive commit tee of the coal companies. Among those named are Eben B. Thomas, George F. Baker, E. T. Stotz- bury and James A. Middleton. The government's complaint also says that since the capital stock of the coal company has been owned by the rail road it has paid no dividends, that millions of dollars have bee:i advanced by the railroad to the coal company, which have never been refunded and that the railroad has paid the interest on the. coal company's bonds, being compensated-, the government claims. by the earnings of transportation of coal over its lines. By proving that the Lehigh Valley railrosd is actually the legal owner of the Lehigh Valley Coal company or has a pecuniary in terest in it, the government hopes to bring its case into line with the recent decision of the supreme court in the commodity clause case, strike down the dummy coal companies and force the coal carrying railroads from their control of mines. While in effect the government's action is a blow at the so-called coal trust, the case is sep arate frcm that suit, which is now on appeal to the supreme court. In the government s original com modities clause action against anthra cite roads, which was begun in 1908, the courts held that a railroad com pany might hold stock in a coal com pany and not violate the commodities clause if It did not own or have any interest In the transported coal of that company. With that decision, the commodities clause was considered by many a dead letter, but Attorney General Wickersham carried the case to the supreme court, where It was decreed that the government might amend its complaint and involve the question of fact as to whether tne railroad has any interest in the coal which it trans ported. Judge Gray of the united states cir cuit court. Eastern district of Penn sylvania, signed an order at Wilming ton, Del., this morning permitting the filing of the amended complaint. The government is represented in the ac tion by the attorney general, James A. Fowler, his assistant, and Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistant attorney general.

Git AN TED A DIVORCE. Also Given Custody of the Two Children. Mrs. Jas. II. Grant Says Spouse Went Joy Riding. On the witness stand today Gertrude Elliott told Judge Dana how George B. Elliott came home drunk, set her hair afire, threatened her life, beat her and their 3-year-old child and made life unbearable by teaching th3 baby to swear. Mrs. Elliott received a di vorce, one-half the property and $20 a month alimony. The Elliotts were married in May, 1906. Elliott- who has a good position with the Santa Fe. owns a home at 231 Madison street in addition to two horses, a buggy, piano and considerable furniture. But the wife testified that these advantages didn't offset her hus band's uneven disposition. On several occasions, she said, the husband slap ped her. One day he struck 3-year-old Dorothy Maxine Elliott, the older of the two children. The blow knocked the child down. When Dorothy Mexine was old enough to talk, her first baby prattle was curse words which the child had heard the father use. When the wife com plained, the husband called her a dog. One night Elliott came home drunk. The wife said he broke a number of glasses and set fire to the lace curtains in the home. When she extinguished the blaze, Elliott set fire to his wife's hair. It was midnight and the woman escaped from the house and ran to the home of a neighbor, where she got help. Elliott didn't deny these charges and made no defense. His attorney objected strenuously, however, when Judge Dana decided that alimony should be paid from the date of the separation. Mrs. Elliott received the custody of the two children, one aged 3 years, the other 18 months. The father may spend two hours witn tne children each Sunday. Because he took other women buggy ridine and on auto trips and contrib'i ted but $3.75 for the support of his family, Mary E. Grant was given a divorce from James t. urant, superin tendent of the Topeka Laundry com panv. Grant earns $20 a week, at though there have been but three weeks rvf their- married iifewhen the husband brought home as much as $15 of his pay check. Mrs. Grant told the court that she was compelled to sew and earn enough money to pay the gas ana tigni dhis. the srrocer and the landlord. Usually Grant gave his wife from $2 to $3.75 a week and this sum was all the wife was allowed to meet the current expenses of the home and clothe herself, w nere the balance of Grant's earnings went the wife was uncertain. The wife said her husband drank ex cessively and kept company with other women. Although the funds to finance the home were limited. Grant seemea able to hire a car and chauffer and the wife often saw him Joy riding with other women. But in the time the little woman was Grant's wife, he never once asked her to go with him on a pleas ure trip and she didn't know how It felt to ride in a real sure enough auto mobile.

Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company of New York, and his wife, who is liv ing in Paris, and the papers served on Mr. Shonts a fortnight ago in the suit of Mrs. Shonts for separate main tenance and freedom from marital obligations have been withdrawn.

ROB A TAILOR. Thieves Carry Away Goods and Suits From I. Gilberg's Shop. Thieves entered the tailor shop of Ike Gilberg at S12 Kansas avenue last night by unlocking the front hall door. They took two new suits of clothe3 and two pair of trousers but did not stop at the made up goods for the tailor finds four pieces of goods missing and one 25-yard bolt of blue serge. Besides the clothes and cloths taken, the thieves also took a check for $32 which was made out to Gilberg and signed by J. M. Connell. The police were notified this morning and have been investigating the case. There is a theory that the thieves know tailor ing themselves or at least have some ready market for the suitings. RAIN" FALLS AT CONCORDIA. Local Showers Cheer Farmers in Small Districts. Concordia. Kan., July 6. Fifty-one hundredths inches of rain fell here Wednesday night. At Aurora, near here, a half inch of rain fell. There was no rain at the western line of the county. A DASHJjF RAIN. Just Enough Falls to Bring Re lief From Heat. Only TwoOne-Ilundredths of an Inch Here. NEW HEAT RECORD. OneHundredSeTen.HighestTem perature Ever Reached Here. Night Hot and Oppressive But It Is Cooler Today. Two one-hundredths of an Inch of precipitation fell last night not much relief in dry weather but enough to make a farmer and townsman glad today. The atmospheric condition was not one calculated to bring downpour enough to relieve the drouth but the shower was welcomed. Though showers may fall before night no heavy rain is expected. Last night there was much more rain at Highland Park and south east of Topeka than there was in the city. As the wind went to the north at 9:30 o'clock more cool weather is an ticipated, the north being the favorite direction as regards added relief from excessive temperatures. Naturally, the early hours of the night were not oe cause of the shift in directions of the wind. Temperatures dropped slowly. Like a young man calling at the home of a girl friend the hot weather seemed re luctant to depart. Evidently every ex cuse to stay as long as possible was used but by 8 o'clock this morning the mercury stood eleven degrees lower than at the same time Wednesday. When the wind shifted to the north it was traveling only three mi'es an hour, but by 3 o'clock in the morning' it had increased to ten miles an hour. At 8 o'clock it was traveling six miles an hour. The 107 degree mark reached by the government thermometer at 3 p. in. Wednesday breaks all heat records of this and past years. On July 24, 1901, the heat was within a fraction of a de gree of the mark Wednesday but the high point yesterday is the record. Throughout central Kansas the gov ernment report shows less than 10 inches of rain since September 1, 1910, a record unprecedented. That a good average crop of wheat was harvested despite this light moisture was due to the fortuous timeliness of such rains as came. But day after day of sunshine, culminating in temperatures ranging from 104 degrees over the state to 113 degrees at Junction City on Wednes day, has given alarm regarding the spring crops and consequent!' regard ing business generally. It is inevitable that in this critical period of the corn condition, the ex perience of 1901 should have been vivid ly recalled. There was practically no rain from June 20 to July 29 of that year. Through the corn belt there were 22 days with temperature of 100 degrees and more. The dry weather this year has come earlier. It began June 1 and with little break has con tinued until the present. Corn, however, is not injured by dry weather in its early period of growth so seriously as later. Even when the drought has been most pronounced the fields well cultivated have grown green and vigorous and with soaking rains Immediately would surprise the farm ers by their recovery. The temperature at noon was two degrees lower than last midnight though the heat seemed" more oppressive for several hours than on days when the mercury stood higher. Thi3 has been the coolest day since June ?S. The wind was blowing 12 miles an hour from the northeast at 2 o'clock. Cooler weather is promised tonight and tomorrow. "Sunny" Flora, the lore caster, had a sunbeam smile on his face as he said that tonight probably will be the first good night for sleep that many persons have experienced lately.

Zimmerman, county clerk, and will at once be certified to the state tax commission. The personal property valuations in this county this year total $'8,113,340 and is an Increase of nearly Jt2,000 over the 1910 valuations. Increases were made in the valuations in all Me ncken and Monmouth townships, as com pared with the statement of a year ago.

Heat Drives Biddy TYom Negt But Saves Chicks. Lowell. Mass., July 6. Gilbert Wright, of Chelmsford, a suburb of Lowell, reports that a setting of eggs which the hen had abandoned when almost ready to hatch, hatched out without th9 hen's assistance at the finish. The heat had been so intense that it drove the hen off the nest but it was warm enough for the atmosphere to take the place of the hen. Ten eggs have ai re" dv hatched and others are expected today. BROWN WANTS WOIGAST MATCH Manager Insists His Protege Can Whip Champion. New York, July 6. Local boxing fans are still discussing the Wolgast Moran fight of Tuesday. A great many of them had believed that Moran, with his superior skill, could stand off the champion for the twenty rounds of the contest, and the Briton's overwhelm ing and comparatively speedy defeat was somewhat of a surprise. Danny Morgan, the manager ot Knockout Brown, was not at all daunted by the outcome. He still believes his charge can whip Wolgast and is ready to have him try it. He says: "I am right after Wclgast and al though we can not arrange a bout now, we shall certainly get him in the fall or next winter. Any time will do me. Brown can lick him now, but a little more experience wi'l do him no harm." STEEL Mm ADJOURN. After Laying Plans for an Interna tional Organization. Brussels, July 6.

Schwab, presi dent Bethlehem Steel corporation; E. A. Clark, president of the Lackawanna Steel company, and Willi3 L. King, vice president of the Jones Laugh lin Steel company. The committee or ganized by making Judge Gary chair man and W. B. Peat of England sec retary, and adjourned to meet again when summoned by the chairman. Following their deliberations, the delegates were received at the palace by King Albert and later visited the battlefield at Waterloo, nine miles from the Belgian capital. Judge Gary said he felt that dis tinct progress had been made toward "a common world code of feeling and practice in steel affairs." He is satisfied with the results thus far accomplished through the interna tional exchange of opinion. SAYS SEE KISSED HER. Mrs. Kees Is Ender Cross Examination Today. Chicago, July 6.

"Well," insisted the prosecutor, "the 'house of the Lord' is at 2541 Racine avenue, is it not? Tou say the doors of the 'house of the Lord' are closed." "Mr. Burnham, you are trying to make me say something that is rot ture. The 'house of the Lord' is in a person's 'conscience.' The examina tion took a sudden turn at this point when the witness was asked: "The defendant. See, has kissed you, hasn't he?" Without hesitation Mrs. Rees an swered, "Yes, the same as my father, mother and brothers have kissed me." "Tou let htm kiss you without ques tion, didn't you?"

ADVERTISING TALKS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEMAN I had an interesting; chat with Mr. W. M.

Mercer Makes a Rousing Speech Attacking Reciprocity. FARMERS LIKED IT. Appear to Approre What Was Said. Arthur Capper Introduced as Ca-per at Alma. Joe Mercer, Btate live stock commis sioner, had a great time in Chase coun ty the Fourth. Mercer addressed large crowd of his old friends and neighbors at Bazaar, and he made a corking speech, too, according to the reports. .While President Taft spent the day in defense of reciprocity, Mercer was tearing down the president's fortifica tions all along the line. Mercer is op posed to reciprocity. As a delegtaeto the national convention of live stock men last month he spoke against it. In his Bazaar speech Mercer declared that, in his opinion, there was no need for sucn a change in the country's tariff plan; that it discriminated against the farm er without affecting the manufacturer, which is to say that it missed the, trusts entirely, while striking the farmers. Mercer was inclined to criticise Taft's ftand for reciprocity. He thought that if the heads of the government were placed above criticism then the powers of the few were multiplied and the rights of the many were diminished In that same ratio. On the other hand. Mercer had praise for the president for other things than his tariff ideas. Mercer was opposed to the aggran disement of the army and navv. Like t., ?aron de Constant, his voice was still for peace. He thought the present standing army is too big. and the navy, too. He thought the plan of burning gunpowder for salutes and all the red tape and ceremony of military affairs was not in keeping with the democracy- of a republic. In fact.

ADMITS BOOSTERS ARE FOR SALE Higgins Says He Has Received Three Good Offers. Omaha, Neb., July 6. President Higgins of the Des Moines baseball club of the Western league, has adm't ted that the club was on the market and that he had received at least three offers, none of which were satisfac tory to him. One of these came from a well known catcher now playing with another club in the league. Higgins declared that the club was now in winning form and would make a good showing from this time on. He said that its finances were in good con dition and displayed paper evidence to snpport his statement. "There is no deal pending for the sale of the club at this time," said Higgins. "I have told President O'Neill that I would sell the club If I received an advantageous offer. I have received three bona fide and several tentative offers but have not seriously consider ed any of them." President Higgins will remain in Omaha several days. Western Union Will Pay. St. Paul. July 6. Attorney General Simpson has been notified that the Western Union had decided to pay to the state treasury $103,403.33 in eottle ment of the state's claims igairst it for back taxes and interest and court costs in the recent litigation to deter mine the state's rights to collect taxes on a valuation of $1,125,000 of its pro perty in Minnesota. Latest Returns on the Fourth. Chicago, July 6.

Fireworks claimed 18 victims: firearms .12; gunpowder 5, and toy pistols 3. BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSIP. Wlwre They Play Tomorrow, Topeka at Lincoln. Denver at Pueblo. St. Joseph at Sioux City. Des Moines at Omaha. Almost won a game then it rained. Looks like King is having to do most of the hitting for the roaming Kaws. Mertle Whitney still punches one now and then, however, and this new lad. Chapman, has been getting his blngles with some regularity. Father Buchanan had the Izzyboys at his mercy and deserved to win. Crisp and Chapman staged a spell of poor throwing, which allowed the score to be tied. Begins to look like there was some thing about that rain gig out west. Of course it is quite possible for it to rain and rain hard enough to stop a battle, but it didn't use to rain that way. Notice Des Moines step out today with a new percentage or.. They can show .216 today and they got it by a meritorious exhibition. Hueston al lowed the Packers only four hits and shut them out, which is looking up for the Hopefuls. Buff Ehman trimmed his old team mates yesterday, holding the Grizzlies to five hits. Strange what a change will do for a ball player. Ehman prob ably will be one of Lincoln's winning pitchers, whereas he couldn't get to gether in Denver. That fat boy, Zwilling, of Holland's brought home a ball gamo yesterday by clouting the ball over the fence in the eleventh inning and breaking the tie. Later information on the game which Topeka almost won in Denver has it that in the last half of the fifth inning, Clark had two men down and two strikes on the next batter when Umpire Clark called the game. Just one more ball, perhaps, would have put the game on record as a Topeka victory. The rain fell In a torrent, It is claimed, but it would seem an um pire could allow the pitcher to throw that one ball. The game had gone far enough to make void the rain checks Issued by the Denver management, so James McGill retained the receipts. A New York physician and formerly a Yale baseball player, given it as his opinion that many players should wear spectacles at the bat. He cites a case of where a player could r.ot touch the ball without glasses, but with them could hit 1.000. Likely enough, the players who grow old in the game need glasses Just as much as any man needs them in other business. If it were not for fear of getting hit with the ball and thus losing the eyes alto gether, the suggestion to wear specs would be a good one. Among others, the Kaws should be examined for the front lamps. That Des Moines does not Intend to sit idly by and see Higgins transfer all the games or transfer the franchise is evidenced by action being taken by the commercial organizations of the city. Des Moines Tribune: Owner Higgin seems to think that the Des Moines fans have no opinion in the matter as to where the Des, Moines team shall play. M'; In spite of the publication by O'Neill, Des Moines is not in immediate danger of losing the baseball team except through spite work. At the present time there is not another town in the Western league territory in shape to take the team, and no baseball town that amounts to anything in another league would want a tail end team on their hands at this time in the season. Just what will happen is a matter of conjecture. Following the games- at Sioux City the Des Moines team is not scheduled to appear In Des Moines un til July 12, and by that time conditions may be changed materially. This city can hope for little at the hands of President O'Neill, as he has the best baseball town in the league, and his liking has not increased since the town has shown indications of de mandig that there be some local ele ment in its baseball organization. O'Neill has-not been in the city for two years, althougK he has made numerous ex cursions to the other towns of the league. Des Moines News: The reason of nonsupport given the citizens of Des Moines by President O'Neill of the Western league for transferring the Fourth of July dates, the best on the Des Moines schedule, to Sioux City, is an uncalled for "four-flush" and hard ly deserves a reply by the Des Moine baseball fans. Neither is it a cause for alarm. All that has been said and can be said about baseball conditions In Des Moines is known only too well by Happy, Happy, Use TIZ A Marvel For Sore Feet Acts Right Oil Sore Feet?

Reasons for not supporting the team need not be given, the- percentage of the club will speak -for itself to any one who understands baseball or is in terested in it in any way. O'Neill is president of the league and knows every move that has been made in con nection with the club. He also knows the value of Des Moines as a baseball town as -well as the other magnates. None of them need be told. The Western league isn't overrun with cities the value of Des Moines and the league will be the loser if the fran chise is transferred from Des Moines. Any time that Frank Isbell, "Ducky" Holmes or Jack Hendricks is ready to buy controlling interest In the club, you can bank on it that the controlling board of three will not consent to a transfer of the club unless other forces are brought to bear besides the lack of attendance under present conditions. The writer can easily answer the question, "Why doesn't O'Neill come to Des Moines and look into conditions?" O'Neill knows the park is too far out, he knows why it was removed from down town. He knows the caliber of the Des Moines club. In fact he knows every condition existing here. Pueblo Chieftain: Topeka's infield is a weak sister if yesterday's exhibition is a sample. Durbin's splendid pitching made the Kansans look pretty good in the morning game, but they did not look so good in the afternoon Topeka had 14 men left on basea in the first game which shows Just how good Jackson was when he had to be. The only bad piece of luck occurred yesterday was an injury re ceived by Phil Koerner which will pro bably keep him out of the game for a wekk or ten days. It occurred during practice and consisted of a lacerated finger and nail on his whip hand. Koer er's injury necessitated the appearance of Isbell in the game. The SIA star made a good showing on the initial bag and secured a couple of nice hits in the second game, but the old stcout can't pickle them like -the big man from Walsenburg. At that he is not in the best of condition and may beat Koerner out of his Job yet. The man ager yesterday proved that he is still enough of a colt to steal second with out half trying. Lincoln Star: Just at present, Tope ka seems to be easier picking than Des Moines. As the Lopes get a six game wrestle with them beginning to morrow, this is an excellent thing. New players of the Kaws who have not been seen here are Pitcher Clark, Catchers Crisp and Chapman, and Second Base man Krebs. Crisp has finally come to terms with the Kaws, and many be made their manager. Chapman was re cured from Concordia for $500. Two days after Pitcher Buchanan had se cured his purchase, word was sent that Pittsburg and Detroit scouts were out to look him over. If he makes arood. both Hawkins and Frambes will be re leased. Sioux City Journal: Hugh Duff v. manager of the Chicago White Sox, is in sioux city. He will be here for the remainder of the week. In that time he expects to take a good look at Geo. Clark, the Sioux City lad who has been pitching great ball for the Champs. Tom Fairweather says that he has been made several good offers for the young ster and upon the recommendations made to Duffy of Clark's ability the Chicago manager is to get the first chance. The White Sox are in need of youngsters and Duffy is one that ibe lieves in getting bold ofatjd develop ing his men. Lincoln News: Casey Hagennan, the Boston beauty, drew another bumping at the hands of the Antelopes yester day, the record crediting the Lincoln clouters with an even dozen blows. Blonde Jimmy McGill has the full con sent of Antelope followers to sell every hurler on his staff to the. big league maggots. The process ought to make 'em easy to beat. Incidentally, it was the second drubbing for Casey by the Antelopes within less than a week. Time to Get Up. Vandalia. 111., July 6.

Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and Have Had No Further Trouble. "On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking baby with us. After being in Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his bodyi We took him to a doctor who said it was chicken pox, and gave us medicine for him. The trouble started In the form of a rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It irritated, and he would scratch it with all his might. The con sequence was it developed into sores, and we -were afraid it would leave T nasty scars on his face. "When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and dimate, and gave more medicine. The rash got no better, and it used to itch and bura at night so bad that the child oouid not sleep. Be was completely covered with it at different times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cnttcura Soap and Ointment. After using Cuticura Soap and Cnticura Ointment for about nine months the places disappeared. There are not any scars, or other kind of disfigurement, and baby is completely cared by the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. We have had no further trouble with baby's skin. Nothing stopped the itching, and allowed baby to sleep bat Cnticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment." (Signed) Mrs. Margaret Gunn. 29 Burrell St., Roibury, Boston, Mass., March 12, 1911.

LESS Til AN EXPECTED Original Planned to Make S-Mill Improvements. But Crop Outlook in Kansas Warned City Officials. The Topeka city budget for the year 1912 will require a tax levy of at least seven mills. The city levy for last year was 6.3 mills. Before the pros pects for a crop failure stared the city commissioners m the face it was planned to raise the levy to 8 mills in the prepared budget. But now, with the impending gloomy business out look on account of the late drouth, the commissioners feel that the raise over last year should be not more than seven-tenths of a mill. The budget for 1912 is in the hands of the city commissioners and will be worked out this month. In its original form it includes extensive improve ment plans that would give the munic ipal work new life on account of the growth of the city in the last few years. Before the dry weather warned the business world, the city commission ers had planned to make a levy of eight mills that would place in To peka the greatest improvement sched ule in the history of the city. But with the present conditions, the prun ing knife has been taken in hand and slice after slice is being cut from the first planned list of municipal work. Among the improvements that have been suggested for the year 1912 and will be included in the budget now ba ing prepared is the following plannsd work: Increased sinking fund. Increased park fund for extensive work in all city parks. New headquarters fire station. Remodeling city hall. New detention hospital. Increased library fund. White way expenses. Relaying cobble stone pavement. Repairs on Melan bridge. More equipment electric light plant. New fire department equipment. Air street sprinklers. New city asphalt plant. The increase in the sinking fund is one of the expenses that will have to be met this year. A number of bonds are coming due this year and next year. The last budget did not provide for a sinking fund and the commis sioners will find it necessary to pro vide for the expense in 1912. "I am sorry that we will not feel able to carry out our program of improve ments suggested some time ago," said Mayor Billard this afternoon. "We had planned to make a levy of prob ably eight mills.- This would place every department on a good sound basis for many years to come and would revive the municipal work in the city. But with the outlook for the crops in Kansas this year I feel that we should not make such a sweeping list of improvements. Topeka will not be as hard hit through a crop failure as other cities in the southwest our industries and manufactories are more of a permanent order. But with a poor crop this year everyone in Kan sas will feel the effect."

A Topeka motorist who returned this afternoon from Kansas City said the iawns and back yards were filled with sleepers in that city. "Everyone pulls the quilts out on the ground in an at tempt to get a breath of air," he said. Physicians in Topeka report many cases of sickness due to the intense heat of the last few days. Especially in cases of stomach trouble and nerv ous diseases, it seems that tne hot weather has Increased the discomfort. Guards have been placed in the south east part of Topeka where a number of cases of smallpox have developed in the last few days. Commissioner Stotts, who has charge of the work, says that he does not anticipate further out break. A Topeka miller tried all morning to buy corn from surrounding districts at 70 cents a bushel. Some of the farm ers said they didn't care to sell and others said they didn't have time to haul it to town. This is what can be called "independence." "If there is any general sentiment in Toneka to recall the sane Fourth ordinance, I am willing to consider the matter or even call an election for It." said Mayor Billard this afternoon.

She's always squirming around so." So a business man commented on a young girl in his office when I asked" if he didn't think she was pretty. I uote the comment to show how some unpleasant littlemannerism can counteract great charm. For the girl really Is a very pretty girl. And the reason I mention the mat ter at all Is that it seems to me a good many of our young girls have unpleas ant little manners like this. I know another girl who has a. dis agreeable trick of perpetually lifting her hands to her face. Now she rubs her eyes, now she puts her hand to her mouth or passes it across her cheek. This girl is a brilliant girl, an un usually Interesting conversationalist and yet I know that her hearer's pleas ure is often dissipated by this habit. Just recently I heard of another girl who was discharged by a rather punc tilious business man from her position as his stenographer because she was always taking out her combs and combing up- her hair. "She's a good stenographer," he said, "but I want a girl who will arrange her toilet in the privacy of her home and not in my office." Now, if any one of these girls should chance to read this article I have no fear that she would recognize herself, for the habit in each case Iad become, I am sure, almost unconscious. But the part that puzzles me, the point I want to bring out is this: The families of those girls could not possibly have been unconscious of these unpleasant little mannerisms, could they? And what were they thinking of to let them go on? What were they doing that they hadn't time to attend to such vital matters? Tou think "vital" is a pretty strong word for the occasion. I don't. Just think. Beauty and brains and efficiency were each nullified by one foolish unnecessary littlo habit that might have been so -easily nipped in the bud by a little plain speaking. Of course no outsider can criticize a habit like this without risk of being considered rude and intrusive. But, equally of course, no family can afford not to speak out on such a matter. One of the most important functions of tha family, I think. ?o to give us, when we particularly need It, a chance to "see ourselves as others see us." Nip the unpleasant little mannerism right in the bud. Nip it as gently &s possible, but even if you cause a little temporary bitterness, nip it thorough ly, and in the end you will win last ing gratitude or would I be safer in saying:, deserve It?

There is considerable talk about the poor showing of the Topeka baseball team because it is and has been most of the season just one step from the cellar of the Western league. But the Topeka team has a percentage of 400, which is pretty far removed from a cellar percentage, and which puts the Topeka team within striking distance f a place in the league's first division. Most of the Kansas congressmen were able to leave Washington during the congressional recess incident to July 4, to escape the torrid weather that prevails at the nation's capital. But the bulk of their constituents were forced to stick around home In even hotter weather. This being a con gressman is not so bad even if the pay is a meager $7, BOO per annum, with a few extras. One way to minimize the terrors of the heat is not to look at the ther mometers or read the reports of the weather men. What a man doesn't know doesn't worry him much, and if you don't know how vigorously the thermometer is working, you won't pay as much attention to the heat as otherwise, nor will it bother you so much. Don't let the heat get on your nerves. If you do your case is hope less. 11 Ingenious youth is not to be denied. Topeka'e city fathers proclaimed a safe and sane Fourth when patriotic explosions were to be ur der the ban. But the youngsters who are permitted to race around the streets with auto mobiles opened up the mufflers on their machines in some way and with almost every revolution of the wheels there was a popping for all the world like the noise that is produced with giant firecrackers. Whoever advanced the idea that it would be a sane celebration of the Fourth, a holiday when the average worker has a chance to loll around in bed, for some one in each family to get up at 6 a. m. and thump out the national anthem on a piano or blow it through a Jew's harp? Perhaps it would be well to charge this unhappy thought up to the hot weather. Tem porary mental aberrations are fre quent when It prevails. It was left for an English woman of high station to square accounts for her Bisters in distress who have been kept waiting at the church by pros pective grooms who have had an at tack of cold feet at the eleventh hour and fifty-ninth minute. She worked the same game on the man who was so sure he had her that he stood at the altar before a large and distin guished company of guests for more than an hour awaiting the arrival of the bride-to-be, but instead of going to the church she went out shopping. SANE FOURTH A SUCCESS. In Topeka and wherever it was tried the safe and sane Fourth worked like a charm. Taking the country :s a. whole the list of little children and others who were killed or maimed by powder crackers and fireworks on the Independence Day of 1911 is wonderful ly shorter than it has been during pre vious years. And '.hat is somothinu worth while. The 'glorious" Fourth was developing into a carnival of car nage, and the necessity became apparent for launching the safe and sane move ment. To many it has seemed a trifle unfair to deprive the children of let ting loose their patriotic enthusiasm through the explosion of noise-makers that were dangerous. But even those who have held such views must be convinced that the placing of the ban on the promiscuous use of powder cracker and fireworks in the hands of little and larger children works out for the best. More is gained by a powder-cracker-less Fourth than the conservation of children. Take the case of Topeka for example. During the old-fashioned Fourths the fire department was kept busy from morning until night rushing all over town to put out little and larger fires that originated through carelessness in the handling of ex plosives. This city never had a seri ous conflagration as the result of any Fourth of July celebration. Because a disaster of that kind never happened, that was no assurance that one might not occur. But on the recent Fourth the Topeka fire department did not have to respond to a single alarm. That is a fine recommendation for a safe and sane Fourth. It happens this year that conditions, when every frame structure in Topeka was as dry as tin der, were such that it would not have taken much of a fire to have assumed dangerous proportion. And then the peace and quiet of the older people in the city was not dis turbed. Nor were the men and women with families of youngsters worried at all that danger was ever present. Con sidering the lateness with which ihe plans were undertaken to substitute a variety of entertainments to occupy the attention of and furnish entertain ment for the children in place of their usual noisy festivities, the Topekars having the matter in charge did very well. Better will be done in this re spect next year. There is no reason why the Fourth of July should not be mnrle a. eala event In tne ciiuuren a lives, something that they will look forward to each year with pleasurable anticipation. And this can be done without going back to the old and dan gerous way. THE IMPACT THEORY.

The idea has now gained currency that thv birth of new stars is due to some kind of Impact between two celestial bodies. This is the Bickerton hypothesis. The British physicist Professor Bickerton is an able and celebrated astronomer as well concluded that when such impacts take place the majority of them would j be grazing or partial. The central A married man's story from Ihe Atch Tnint nf his theory, we are reminded ison Globe: One night was set apart by Dr. Ernest Rutherford, lies In the j ,v, third and Intensely heated body will be formed as a result of such partial im pacts.

Thus Rutherford, after careful con sideration of the Bickerton hypothesis. PUBLIC MONEY MUST BE USED. In spite of the fact that state sana toria and hospitals for tuberculosis have been established in 31 states, and 114 municipal or county hospitals in 2 6 states, vastly more public provi sion is needed to stamp out consump tion, says the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu losis in a bulletin issued recently. Every state east of the Mississippi river except Vermont, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Missis sippi, and Illinois have provided state sanatoria. In Vermont, a private san atorium is partially used as a state in stitution, and in Florida, an indefinite provision for such a hospital has been made. The states west of the Missis sippi river which have established state sanatoria are, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri. Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dako- to. Montana and Oregon. There are 39 sanatoria provided by these states, Connecticut having three, Massachu setts four, Pennsylvania three, and Texas two. New York state leads in municipal and county hospitals for tuberculosis, having 34, while Ohio, the second on the list has 17, and Massachusetts the third, has 9. In these 26 states, which are the only ones having any municipal or county care for tuberculosis, there are 114 hospitals, including special pavilions and almhouses. Hardly more than one-tenth of the cities of 30.000 population and over, make any local provision for tuberculosis cases, and not one-twentieth of the less pop ulous districts make such provision. In addition to the state, municipal and county hospitals, the federal gov ernment provides for certain selected classes in the United States Army hos pital at Fort Bayard, N. Mex., the United States Public Health and Ma rino Hospital Service sanatorium at Ft. Stanton, N. Met., the United States Navy hospital at Las Animas, Colo., and in five special hospitals for In diana on different reservations In the west. Apart from these Institutions, and a few special pavilions at prisons, hos pitals for the insane, and some other public Institutions, a grand total of hardly 200, the institutional care of the consumptive ia left to private philanthropy. With 200,000 deaths every year, and more than that num ber of living cases, too poor to pay for their care in private institutions, the National association says that un less the cities, counties and states real ize their duty and provide adequate local hospital accommodations for these consumptives, the disease can never be stamped out. Not only has Kansas authorized the construction of a state hospital for consumptives, but legislation has also been placed on the statute books here which permits counties and cities to devote portions of their public funds for local sanatoria for tubercular pa tients. Cities and counties ere also authorized to assist financially such institutions as have been established through private effort and means. And the consumptive camp on the North side, which is in this category, is de serving of such aid from Shawnee county and J opefta.

Here is a story, or a bit of advice that is worth remembering. It tells of a girl who is a joy to her parents, a ray of sunshine in the home, and who later, when she has a home of her own, will be the kind of a wife that is the best kind that It is pos sible to find. Here Is the story: An old gentleman was heard to re mark the other day: "Once I was young now I'm old and I've never seen a girl unfaithful to her mother that came to be worth a one-eyed button to her hus band. It isn't a guess, it isn't exactly in the Bible, but it is written large and awful in the life of a misfit home. If one of you ever come across a girl with a face full of roses, who says as you come to the door: 'I can't go for 30 minutes for the dishes are not wash ed,' you wait for the girl; you sit down on the doorstep and wait for her. Be cause some other fellow may come along and carry her off and right there you have lost an angel." Coffeyvilie Journal. SPARE THE ROD. Hiawatha society Is all upset on ac count of the sudden resolve to decide once for all the spanking question. One woman in a neighborhood was old fashioned enough to do the thrashing stunt every time her child became un ruly. The neighbors decided that she was doing it too much and was not up-to-date. They served notice on her to stop. Times have changed. However, the uproar has not subsided yet and the question is still open for discussion. You and I were not brought up the way the modern kid is brought up. Suppose you would "sass" your father or mother?

In those days of a few years ago father or mother ruled the ranch. If you or I didn't like the ruler we would go and work for a neighbor.

Its progress in the future will depend largely upon the outcome of persists, and will continue to persist, for there is, without doubt, much sound economics connected with it. Another reason why it will persist is because the believers in the theory are so devoted to it that they make a re ligion out of it in the same way that some socialists do out of their theories and are willing to devote their lives to them, and, if need be, die for them.

The returns from the 7,277 national banks of the country, made to the comptroller of the currency, showed an increase in deposits of nearly 200 millions over June, 1910. The striking thing is increase in legal reserve, there being 121 millions in excess of the amount required by law. All of which goes to prove that times are by no means hard, but that a sane and practical economical streak has taken hold of the country. Garden City Telegram. FROM OTHER PENS STOCK -WATERING GAME. According to one of the witnesses before the congressional investigating committee, the property of the beet sugar industry is worth only about $12,000,000, though it 1 capitalized at $8,000,000 more. He blamed the over capitalization upon the bankers con cerned in the floatations. They were little interested in the budding of fac tories, the selling of a product and the development of an industry, but they insisted upon having as much stock to dispose of as the public was likely to absorb. The ease is typical of the stock watering methods prevalent ir Ameri ca. The game has all been tor swllt fortunes. Losses, it w'a? known, were inevitable, but as it was the other fel low who was to lose the promoters had nothing to worry over. The trusts have been formed less for the economies gained and the stability assured than for the profits of share selling. Yet, in many cases, the industries have so de veloped that the natural increment has taken up the water. Those who were not forced to sell have, ia some cases, done well in the end. But it is an un certain profit to count upon. It is too long a chance. Under federal regula tion which even the captains of in dustry now subscribe to, that chance can be eliminated. Toledo Blade. o KAISER AND SOCIALISTS. Berlin newspapers report that Kais er Wilhelm has changed his attitude toward the Socialists of Prussia and of the empire. He once denounced them as "fellows without a father land." He has lately said of them: "My Socialists are not so black as they are painted." The change in the attitude of the kaiser is the more notable because so cialism in Germany is not a mere the orv, as in most other countries, but a practical system of politics. The lead ers of the movement there have in cluded manv politicians of first class ability. They have a definite program of action whose most radical measures do not greatly differ from the system of genuine democracy that prevails al ready in this country. They ask for manhood suffrage, for limitations upon excessive militarism and for lower tar iffs and lighter taxes. In the direc tion of providing employment for the people, pensions in old age and insur ance for workingmen, they have not demanded so much as has been pro posed in Great Britain by Lloyd George. The taunt of having no fatherland could have applied only to a very small fraction of the party and this change of sentiment on the kaiser's part may mean that he has come to regard with some favor the political program to which German Socialists are pledged.

'Her grandchild," he said to mm I self. Then he blew a set of smoke rings and watched them expand and disappear into thin air. "Her grand child," he repeated. Thereafter, as he sat watching men and women come and go, Ned Can naught had always in mind one thing another sight of Marguerite. Of all the women he had seen in this place none had attracted him as had this one. Against his own desires and inclin ations he began to cultivate the guests w ho lived at the chateau and occasion ally he would Join them in the lounge after dinner instead of sitting alone. Perhaps someone might know her; nerhaDs she would come again. Cannaught was sure she had an in teresting story to tell; she must have if at surely not more than thirty-four she had a grandchild. The latter fact seemed incredible but she had stated it with her own lips and her friend had seemed not at all astonished. Summer was waning and Cannaught longed again for the quiet of his studio and the companionship of his personal surroundings. He had another week I to remain at the chateau according to the promise made to himself early In the season, and he was sitting rretrui ly in his accustomed place behind a bank of palms. Before hin was a ta bourette with his coffee and cigars. Presently, he heard a bell boy say, "That is Mr. Cannaught, behind the palms. Then, a voice answered. "Thank you, I'll find him myself, now." The next moment, the beautiful wo man who had so attracted him, stood before him, a letter In her hand. "Mr. Cannaught?" she said, looking at him through her gold-rlmmed lorg nette. There was a slight inflection in her voice, as if to imply interrogation. Cannaught laid down his cigar and stood quickly. "It is I, Madame," he said. Marguerite smiled. "I have been searching for you all s'immer with this," she said. Cannaught took the letter. "Be seated, pray," he said, indicating the great lounge on which he himself had been sitting. Marguerite sank down into it. "From dear old Bradley," Can naught exclaimed as he scanned the note. "How good to hear of him again and he introduces you Miss Carver," extending his hand, "I'm happy to say." If he hesitated over the profix to her name, Marguerite did not notice it. "His villa is next to my own in Sor rento, and as we two alone spoke Eng lish we became the best of friends," Marguerite told him. "And when I came away he asked me to see you. He says he's a poor hand at writing, and that you like to know how he's getting on." Cannaught studied her while she spoke. He was paying littlo attention to her words they would keep. "I'd like to know more than that," he said. irrelevantly. "I'm curiovs about your grandchild Miss Carver?" Marguerite drew her shoulders to gether in a characteristic manner and her eyes twinkled. "How did you know?" she asked. "The first time I saw vou you were here in this lounge begging some friend to come and see your grand child." "Isn't it funny?" Cannaught laughed. "Very. How does it happen?" "I have a sister who Is as much as seventeen years younger than I whom I married off at sixteen fearing she would become as hard to please as I am If she waited. The little one her child seems to me more like a grandchild than a niece. She's my grandchild to all my friends. Now do you see?" Cannaught did and felt strangely re lieved. "Does old Bradley have room for one more at his villa In Italy?" he asked. Marguerite nodded. "Will you come to visit him?" "After you return. I might." Can- naught oaid, pointedly. "I'd like you for inspiration. I think living next door to you on the Bay of Naples would be inspiration personified." "How about Bradley" she asked. "A woman of your perspicacity ought to see that he is only a means to an end. He always said he'd send me but I'm going too fast I beg your pardon, won't you have pome coffee?" Marguerite nodded. "Yes, I think I will. I went to your studio in town three times with this letter and to beg the cup of tea Mr. Bradley said you would offer me. I'll take coffee as a substitute now if you'll promise to come out to see my grandchild on Sun day. "I'll come next Sunday and as often as you'll let me until you return to Italy and "Yes and?" Marguerite asked. "And after that I shall hope to see you every day and tell you a lot of things I've been saving up to tell Just such a woman as you Just you, in fact." "I'd love to listen," Marguerite said, earnestly. "How good it will be to be back there next door to Mr. Bradley and his guest!" (Copyright, 1911, by the Associated Literary Press.) Panama to Rival Suez. Competition between the Panama canal and the Suez canal Is expected as soon as the former waterway is open to commerce. The United States government realizes this, and is pre paring for it. It is the intention, if congress sanctions the step, to begin business at Panama at once with a cut of practically 100 per cent below the tolls charged by the Suez canal. That the Suez canal wi:- meet the cut is not doubted. Thct canal is owned by a private corporation, and without competition, it has been earn ing a gross revenue of upward of $20,000,000 a year. But if the Panama canal takes away any materia share tic ocean may seem rather far-fetched, j but the canal authorities of the United States government explain it in a ra- tional way. They say the north At lantic is the harbor of the world's wholesale and manufacturing trade. The principal business of the world centers around the shores of that sea. The principal trade of the world runs into and out of the north Atlantic, iThat is where all the rest of iho world comes for its goods, and it is the clear- ing house through which it does its business and finances its operations. Heretofore there has been but one chief gateway out of this center of trade, that to the eastward through Suez canal. But now there Is to be a gateway to the westward, as well, through the Panama canal. Hence the competition between the two gates must follow on all trade between Col.

It will not b a matter of sentiment, but purely one of which canal and which route will enable the ships to deliver their cargoes at the less expense. The Suez canal at present charges a toll of about $1.70 per net registered ton. American money and American measure. From the nttitude of both the president and of Col Goethals, It is inferred that they wi'l advocate a charge at Panama of not more than SI per net registered ton and possibly even less than that. Whot they would like to have congress do Is to give the president authoritv to fix lie rate at anything between 50 cent and $1.50 a ton, so that he may be able to decide upefn a figure, finally, that will permit the Panama canal fully t- meet its op erating expenses, there being no evi dence of Intention to try to make money out of it.

RA1LR0AD NEWS. New Laws That Are Now in Effect for Fiscal Tear. Postal Cars Jlust Be Steel or of Good Construction. B ILEK lNPECTlOS New Law of Utmost Importance to All .toads. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Washington, July 6. With the be ginning Saturday of the fiscal year 1912 many pieces of important legislation became effective. Most of the legisla tion is carried in the great supply bills which always become effective July 1 of each year unless otherwise provided. One piece of legislation that interests many persons in all parts of the coun try, and more especially in large cities where there are small armies of rail way mail clerks, requires that all rail roads carrying the mails must provide better postal cars. The law provides that after July 1, 1911, no pay shall be allowed for the use of any full wooden railway post office car unless constructed substan tially in accordance with the most ap proved plans and specifications of the postoffice department, nor for any full wooden car that is run between adjoin ing steel cars, or between the engine and an adjoining steel car. While this new law leaves much to be desired, it is a step in advance. Ulti mately all postoffice cars will be of steel construction and modern in all other respects. All new cars approved by the postmaster general must be of steel construction or steel underframe if used in a train in which a mojority of the other cars are of like construc tion. The locomotive boiler inspection law, now in effect, also is regarded as being of the utmost importance. Under the provisions of this act it will be unlaw ful for any railroad to use a locomotive that has not been pronounced safe and sound by the United States inspectors. It is believed the safety of employees and patrons of all railroads will be largely promoted by this new law. The Mississippi valley region is inter ested in the provision in the last river and harbor act that increased the en gineer corps of the army by the addi tion of five colonels. !ix lieutenant co1 onels and thirteen first lieutenants. The Increase is to be extended over a period of five years, but will add great ly to the efficiency of the corps, be ginning with this year. There has been much compl'-iint from many sections because of the long time lequired to get a project started by the army engineers, to say nothing of hav ing it completed. The chief of en gineers and the secretary of war hav repeatedly made a plea for additional officers, but until last year pleaded In vain. Practically all the appropriation acts of the Sixty-first congress are in effect. All the new legislation was thoroughly digested and assimilated in advance by the executive officers, so that changes were made or will be made without the slightest friction. TEST GASOLINE MOTOR SYSTEM Texas Lines Have Matle Success of First Shipments. San Benito, Tex., July 6. S. A. Robertson of San Benito and associ ates, who are constructing a system of gasoline motor interurban lines out of that place, have greatly enlarged their plans. The first forty mi'es of the new road was recently opened for passen7 ger and freight traflic and is now in regular operation. Arrangements have been made for constructing immedi ately about sixty miles more of track. It will be one of the longest gasoline motor railways in the United States, it is said. The St. Louis San Fran cisco Railway company is said to be back of the enterprise, ar.d the partic ular object is to serve as a feeder for the St. Louis Brownsville railroad, which is owned by the Frisco. Be sides running to various points on the big irrigated tract of land of which San Benito is the center the new in terurban railway will be extended to Brownsville, twenty miles, and up the valley, following the old military road to Mission, about fifty miles. The road is already finished to within eight miles of Brownsville. Oas-oline motors will te given a thorough trial, and should they not prove satisfactory they will be replaced by electric transit. HISTORY' OF ENGINEERS' ORDER "Brotherhood of Footboard Organized in Detroit in 1f63. I The history of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is much the same as that of other railway organi zations, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. The engineers were organ ized in Detroit, Mich., in 1863, and the original name was the Brotherhood of the Footboard. Included in the first charter were eleven men. The broth erhood now embraces 6S.000 men and comprises 90 per cent of all the en gineers in the service. The organiza- Cleanses the System effectually; Dispels colds and Headaches, dye to constipation. Best for men, women and children young and old.

The brotherhood members carry insur ance of over $117 000, 000 and have paid into the homes of deceased and disabled members over $21,000,000, besides creating an indigent fund to take care of old members unable to earn a livelihood. Without this these members would become fit objects of charity. To the credit of the engineers' or ganization, it should be said that they have no members in any slats or coun try who are objects of chprity. In ad dition to this, the organization has given to charity over $3,000,000, this sum going to the families cf deceased and disabled members. FIGHT FOK MEXICAN CONTROL. But Railway Battles Are Fought in Wall Street. City of Mexico, July 6. The fight for the control of the Mexican National railways between the Cientificos and the Madero party has been transferred in a large measure from Mexico City to Wall street. E. N. Brown, president of the com pany and the board, has left the capital for New York, and leaders of the new government say he is to meet in New York Lord Cowdray, head of the Pear son interests in Mexico. The British peer is about due to arrive in New York. The fact that Brown failed to keep faith with Madero after an apparent understanding was reached at last Wednesday's conference, as was made evident by the discovery that two secret appointments, one with an enemy of Madero, made a month be fore, put the railroad president in a precarious condition. The Madero lead ers are satisfied he will put all his hope of maintaining his power in the in fluence which Lord Cowdray and the leading C.entificos will attempt to bring to bear on Wall street. Before Brown started for New York he had an interview with At water, o representat.ve of Ladenberg, Thalman Co., now in the City of Mexico in the interest of the firm which has main tained the closest relations with the Cientifico crowd. Two changes in the board not pro vided for in the program of the Ma lero leaders will be made by Henry Clay Pierce who, as holder of $11,000,000 worth of bonds of the railroad, is en titled to name that number of di rectors. J. N. Galbralth, who is in charge of Pierce's oil interests in Mexico, and Hansen, president of the Mexican branch of the International Banking corporation, will be named to succeed Sherrer and Ribon. Both men to be appointed are known to be in sym pathy with the new government. The men whose places they will take were prominent members of the Diaz re gime. KATY GETS XEW LINES. Oklahoma Extensions Ma7 Be Con trolled by M. K. T. Guthrie, Ok., July 6. Th- report is again current that during the recent trip to St. Louis of J. A. Kemp and Frank Fell of Wichita Falls, Tex., they sold the Wichita Falls Northwestern to the Missouri, Kansas Texas com pany, and that the construction of the contemplated extension northward from Altus, Ok., to Wocdvard, Ok., 200 miles, will be commenced imme diately. The road is now in operation about 200 miles from Wichita Falls, Tex., across southern Oklahoma to Altus, and an extension '.s being built at the present time westward into the Texas Panhandle country. Messrs. Kemp and Kell admit a con ference in St. Louis with the "Katy" officials, and also that they secured financial assistance, as already an nounced. The "Katy" officers made a tour of the Wichita Falls- North western several weeks ago, and for some time it has been rumored that the "Katy" would take over this new est of Oklahoma railroads. It was chartered about four years ago. and construction began almost immediate ly across southern Oklahoma through Randlett and Frederick to Altus. In 1909 the road paid 309.6 per cent on its capital, and it has been a money maker from the start. Only recently the contracts were signed in Wood ward to extend the road to that city, with the ultimate intentior of going northward into Kansas. In this connection, it Is stated that another extension contemt lated by the Wichita Falls Northwestern is northeast from Randlett through Law ton to Oklahoma City, v here direct connection will be made with the par ent lines of the "Katy" system. From Altus westward the roar is being ex tended westward to Memphis and Wellington, Tex., and the line north east to Oklahoma City would give al most an air line from Oklahoma City to Wichita Falls and aUi to Welling ton. MISSOURI PACIFIC DEPOT BURNS. Dry Building Set Fire by Spark From Train. Holton, Kan., July 6. Catching, it is believed from a srark from a passirs engine, the Missouri Pacific depot burned to the ground here Wednesday. The loss was complete. The depot had been rebuilt and remodeled only last winter, numerous alterations and im provements having been made in it. The fire caught in the roof and before It could be checked had gained such a headway that all efforts to fight it proved unavailing. The building was as dry as tinder. RAILWAY NOTES. A law of Massachusetts, requiring railways to provide Individual drink ing cups on trains traveling thirty miles or more, went into effect June 15. Notices are posted In the cars in forming the passengers that cups may be had on application to the conduc tor or baggage master. J. T. Robinson, whose appointment as master mechanic of the Missouri Pacific Central Kansas division, with office at Osawatomie, Kan., has been announced, was born in Virginia, and received a common school education. He was with the Southern railway for fifteen years as general foreman and master mechanic, with headquarters at different points, and for the past seven years has been master mechanic of the Seaboard Air Line, first at Sa vannah, Ga., and then at Jacksonville, Fla., which office he held until May, 1911. One of the first results achieved in the general campaign for greater effi ciency mapped out some time ago by I the management of the Rock Island is shown in a report oi a special commit tee favoring adpption of divisional ac counting methods. The scheme has received the approval of the highest officers of the company and will go into effect about August. "Deep breathing seems to have lost vogue, don't you think?"

I To the Editor of the State Journal: I notice that Frank Ryan, in his formal announcement as a candidate for governor, makes a bid for the rail road vote. This is both unusual and en couraging. It shows that at least one member of the statesman fraternity be lieves the 50,000 railroad workers in Kansas are worth while. As one of the 22,000 employees of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Railway company m Kansas, I congratulate Mr. Ryan upon his ability to recognize in this large and growing element of our citizenship a force that is entitled to consideration and respect. I do not pretend to know how many railroad votes Mr. Ryan will j receive, but I am sure that his plat form, so far as it applies to employees of railway companies, is appreciated by railroad men. Politicians have ignored the railroad vote in the past because they feared the pee-pul, and railroad men submit ted because of lack of interest. Under the new dispensation it is different. Railroad men now believe that they are pee-pul, same as other workers in this vale of sunshine and tears, and they are taking a sufficient interest to see that they get fair treatment from the politicians. I submit that the average railroad man compares favorably with the aver age man in any other walk of life, physically, morally, intellectually and financially. Look around and see for yourself. Isn't it so? Every right thinking man's ambition is to support his family properly in comfortable home surroundings, and to make his community a good place in which to live. Can anybody say this is not the ambition of the average railroad man? These railroad men are giving con siderable attention to the study of po litical questions, and to the study of candidates. They are not making is sues, nor do they ride hobby horses; but they express a great desire to cast their votes for candidates who will be fair to them in the enactment of laws, and the discharge of other public duties. In the past the 50,000 railroad votes in Kansas have not cut much figure in elections, for the reason that the voters were indifferent, and exercised the right of franchise about as their grandfathers exercised it. But that wave of reform which lately swept over the country had an effect upon railroad men. Judging from their pres ent temper, I guess that railroad men in the future will think less of how their grandfathers voted, and do as other folks do give careful thought to both their own interests and the inter ests of the community in which they reside. I also guess that politicians in the future will follow the precedent set by Frank Ryan. And while I am occupying valuable space, I beg to suggest that probably the 50,000 railroad men in Kansas would be pleased to hear an expression from Arthur Capper and George Hodges on this subject.

The situation growing out of the strike of carters was further complicated today by the enforced idleness of thousands of cot ton operatives. Many mills are unable to obtain coal and other supplies and have been compelled to shut down in definitely. Throngs of strikers and others out of work were in the streets, the number being added to by several hun dred coal miners who struck today in sympathy with the carters and the dockers, who have not yet returned to work. Some 7S0 troops and 300 London police arrived today. There was an occa sional recurrence of stone throwing but tne ponce, swinging their clubs, quick ly routed the mamfestants. The strike enclers declare that roughs and not the strikers are responsible for the rioting that has taken place. In some cases strike pickets co-operated with the po lice in quelling disturbances.

LIKES BIG WARSHIPS. Rear Admiral Luetze Praises Dread nought Type of Fighters. New York, July 6. Naval officers stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard, are inclined to doubt the London dis- ford Sa patch in which was predicted the pass ing of the dreadnought type of battle ship in favor of the smaller vessels of equally heavy armament. Rear Admiral E. N. Luetze, U. S. N., retired, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, said: "It is hard to believe England's fut ure navy policy is to be toward the re duction in the size of its war vessels. We have found the dreadnoughts the most effective fighting machines yet produced and consequently we will continue to make our vessels in great er size. From my personal viewpoint, we will add to our fleet of dreadnoughts." fiORRIS SEES A PLOT. Says Newspapers Are in League Renominate Taft. to All Oxfords and Pumps reduced to absolute cost. We sug gest you buy while we have your size. 1 lii $2.65 Matthews' Shoe Store 6O6 Kansas Avenue Washington, July 6. Charges that Charles D. Hilles, secretary to the president, is acting as the head of a political news bureau "which sup presses truth" and issues "ungrounded and false" reports as to sentiment con cerning presidential candidates were made today in a letter Representative Norris of Nebraska, insurgent leader in the house, addressed to the Ne braska Progressive Republican league. Representative Norris charged that the "suppressed" facts relate to senti ment favoring the candidacy of Sena tor La Follette for the presidency. His letter was in answer to telegrams from the Nebraska progressives declaring their repudiation of Frank A. Shotweil, who they say had reported himself as an agent of the league and as such had given out several statements favor ing the renomination of President Taft. Mr. Norris charged that the progressives had been wronged by a "conspiracy of great newspapers" in suppressing news relating to the pro gressive movement. After referring to a series of articles printed, Mr. Nor ris's letter concluded: "These various articles have ear marks that strongly indicate they originated in the White House. I do not think that the president himself dictated them, and I do not known that he had any knowledge of them, but it is generally understood the in formation came from hia private sec retary and almost without exception these objectionable articles contain items of information that necessarily must have come from some one closely connected with the Wrhite House. "I am reluctantly led to believe that the president's private secretary is the head of a political news bureau that is making a determined effort to suppress any sentiment in favor of the can didacy of Senator La Follette, and to do this by the suppression of truth and the publication of ungrounded and false reports." Shawnee County Children Are Evidently Improving. Fewer Cases Come Before the Juvenile Court. PARENTS ARE WORSE. Much Trouble to Have Fathers Support Families. New Law Is Meeting With tlreat Favor. He Goes From the Boys Reform School to State Industrial School. Shawnee county children are grow ing better, while their elders show less respect for their marital vows, ac cording to records compiled in the of fice of W. F. Schoch, probate judge. In the annual comparative report for the year ending July 1, there are fewer cases in the juvenile court and a de cided increase of prosecutions under the delinquent parent act. For the year ending July 1. 1910, there were 152 Shawnee county boys and girls, who were registered in the Topeka court for violations of the law. But for the twelve months ending July 1, this year, but 115 cases came under the supervision of Judge Schoch. This was a falling off of more than 20 per cent in this division of the probate court and perhaps one of the best rec ords made by any juvenile court in the densely populated counties of the state. In neither of the reports are recorded the children who were brought to the court for correction and instruction by relatives or cited for trivial offenses. Against this report showing an im provement in the morals of the chil dren of the county, is the report show ing an increase of more than 50 per cent in the number of delinquent par ent cases filed in the court. In the last year Judge Schoch sent nine delin quent children four boys and five girls to the state industrial schools. In almost every delinquent parent case brought before the court provision was made for better support and increased comfort of the family. i The record in the delinquent par ent cases shows that 17 caBes were brought in Judge Schoch's court in the year ending July 1, 1910. Against this showing is a record of 27 cases filed in the court in the current year. This is an increase of practically 60 per cent. Speaking of this radical in crease. Judge Schoch said: "I attribute the increase in delin quent parent eases almost entirely to a general public demand for the en forcement of this law. There is a vigorous demand that the parent make provision for the support of his or her family and I believe that this demand will result in a healthy improvement of conditions in Topeka and Shawnee county." Numerous cases have lately been brought before the court wherra the husband and father earned good wages, but contributed little or nothing tow ard the support of his family. Wives and mothers were compelled to labor for their own support and a small earn ing with which to provide for the urgent needs of their children. Many of the children affected in these cases have been mere babies and children demand ing almost the constant care and at tention of an elder. But in the juvenile court Judge Schoch thinks there is much credit due the more general understanding of the law. "People understand the provisions of the law better than ever before," said Judge Schoch in discussing his partic ularly favorite court, "and I believe that in 90 per cent of cases which we now handle, that I have the co-operation and assistance of the parents. Against this condition is contrasted the lack of interest and almost open re sistance by fully one-half of the par ents during my early administration. People have only lately come to realize that this is a court of correction and not a court of punishment and this has aided in raising the morals of the chil dren." Judge Schoch's juvenile court has at tained a state wide record. His method in handling the children has won favor for the law in this county, where a few years ago there was open oppo ia law and its enforcement. sotnrdav morning a score of children of various ages, all colors and !i4tioa -pnnrt to Judge Schoch. T,or. hiwa'and eirls are watched closely and when it is decided that the h-jvc fniiv reformed, they are released from the supervision of the court. Sixteen-year-old William Hublit to day pleaded guilty to grand larceny in Judge Dana's court and was sentenced to an indefinite term in the state re formatory at Hutchinson. Young Hub lit, who was an inmate of the Topega industrial school, recently stole a horse belonging to the school and attempted to escape. He was caught a short dis tance from the school with the horse still in his possession. Hublit seems destined to spend much of his early life in prison. He has al ready served three years in the indus trial school, having been sent here from Stafford in June, 1908. His record in the school was not the best. A few weeks ago the boy saw an opportunity to escape. He stole a horse belonging to the school and was several miles be yond the wall of the institution when captured. FIND BOX OF JUNK.

A romance of the days when much of Michigan was a wilderness was brought to, light to day when boys of the South Bend, lnd., Y. M. C. A. camp, while digging a hole for a flagstaff, brought up a rusty iron box containing pistols, books and several documents. The lock could not be opened, so the bottom of the chest was broken. First the discoverers found two rusty pistols of an ancient pattern, resting in a bed of flax. Then followed a motley collection, including a plain gold ring, apparently the wed ding pledge of some pioneer bride, a silver cased watch of Swiss manufac ture, a small dagger and a rust-stained hunting knife; leather bound books dating from 1767 to 1819, among them a Jtsibie, "crnuaren or me ADoey aim "Book of Passion." There were several school books and number of pennies bearing dates from 1781 to 1854; samples of silver, lead and copper ores, arrow heads, and a collection of pebbles. Deeds dating back as far as 1739 related to property at Plymouth, Conn. A letter found in the chest read in part as fol lows: ''This chest is$the property 01 Hesikia Thomas, formerly of New England, later of the Michigan wilder ness, a spiritualist of.

God gave me many wonderful secreta, but be cause of the great sin he took them all away but one the least of them the turning of sable stones into gold. I have buried this secret by the body of old Duckwing in the big swamp. God rest my soul. God has filled the earth with gold. Devils do not believe, but has He not promised 'seek and find'? "The blue heron is wise and the night owl, but man is an ass, for he walketh not in the ways of the Most High." A little of the story of the peculiar old hermit, Thomas, is known here. George Knevels, who lives in a por tion of a house built by Thomas, says that as a boy he remembers finding carefully secreted collections of peb bles in the house. It is said that Thomas' wife de serted him and that his1 queerness be came noticeable about tho same time. CHARMIXG RESTAURANT FROCK. The style, of this little frock is es pecially girlish.

He Tells in Court How Two Girls Ildil Him I'p and Shot Him. New York, July 6. There was a display of summer finery that made the crowd in Tombs police court today forget the heat when Miss Ethel Con rad and Miss Lillian Graham appeared for examination on the charge of at tempting to murder W. E. D. Stokes. In contrast to the blooming defendants, Mr. Stokes looked pale ar.d worn. The pirls were accompanied by Mrs. John Singleton, formerly of Los Angeles, Miss Graham's wealthy sister. Mr. Stokes, as the first witnors nar rated the events of June 7, when he was shot. He said Miss Conrad called him on the telephone and told him Miss Graham had pone to Europe and .isked him to call and get letters Miss Graham had left for him. Miss Conrad "smile.i sweetly" when she received him at the apartment and left him alone a mo ment, saying she would go for the let ters. When she returned said Stoke3. Fhe bolted the door behind her and approached with her hands behind her back. 'At the same time through the door into the hall I saw Miss Graham creep ing toward me with a revolver levelled at me. Stepping in front of me s.ie said. 'Now I have got you.' Then continued Stokes. Miss Graham told him he must pay her for "doing her great moral damage." defaming her mother and her sister. -They tot him, he said, that unless he complied with their demands they would kill him and "would have no difficulty in getting rid of his body." Stokes said he refused to sign a statement that he had defamed Miss Graham, thereupon the girl demanded money. "It's death or $25,000," said Miss Gra ham, according to the witness. "I told them." said Stokes, "that if it were a riise of death or one cent I'd choose death. "The Graham girl," he went on, "said to me. 'you will, will you?' and began firing." Stokes wrested the revolver from Miss Graham after he had received two wounds. Then he said the girl called, "Ethel, you agreed if I didn't kill him you would." Then Stokes heard smother shot and a bullet hit him in the leg. TWO KANSAS GIRLS LOSK. Lawrence Tennis Players Easily De feated by Mlssourtans. Kansas City, July 6.

CHOPPED HSS HEAD. M SPR.NGS A SURPRISE Negro Finds His Motlier-in-Law More Than, a Match. A negro named Ben Bailey was bad ly mutilated about the head at an early hour this afternoon when he at tempted to assault his wife at the home of his mother-in-law, 943 North Fillmore street. According to the story told to the police, Bailey went to his mother-in-law's house, Mrs. Buford, o see his wife and have an afternoon chat. After they had been gossipping a few min utes a heated argument ended in a quarrel and Bailey began beating his wife. The mother-in-law heard the squall and, grabbing a hatchet that had just severed the head of a delicious chick en, she started after her son-in-law. The rest of the story is easy. When the police found him Bai'ey was lying on the floor in a pool of blood with four separate and distinct dents and cuts in his head. Despite the fact that the dents are deep enough to kill the average man, it is believed that the negro will re cover. He was taken to a hospital. McNamara Challenges tho Jurisdiction of the Court. f450 Trimmed Friday and Saturday Special in $1.00 On account of the remodeling of our store, we have decided to make extraordinary reductions for Friday and Saturday to keep business up to standard, regard less of the noise and muss. Los Angeles, July 6. The defense in the McNamara dynamite conspiracy case sprung a surprise today when John B. McNamara, the accused Indi ana labor leader, and his brother, James, were called into Judge Bord- well's department of the superi jr court. I Both men were summoned to plead to 19 charges of murder, the r-stilt of the destruction of the Times newspaper plant on October 1, 1910. In addition John McNamara was expected :o plead to the cluirse that he had conspired to destroy the Llewelleyn Iron works. Instead he challenged the jurisdiction of the court, claiming that it had no right to exact a plea or to try him on either the 19 charges of murder or the Llewellyn Iron works indictment, because he was extradited from Indiana not for murder, but for alleged dyna miting. This move plainly surprised the pros ecution. A motion for the quashing of the in dictments was made only in tho case of James B. McNamara, who entered no plea whatever, holding that the in dictments against him should not stand because the grand jury was biased and because Earl Rogers who acted s a special district attorney to aid the in quisitors during the investigation had previously been active on behalf of the Times and Merchants and Manufac turers' association during the search for evidence. The prosecution met the move with a motion to disallow the plea to jur isdiction. Argument on the relevancy of John McNamara's action whicn promises to continue until night ensued. in $1.50 3?1 AND SI. so MILLINERY COMPANY 733 Kansas Ave. Etta Lacey, Manager New House Larger.

Being Tested Preparatory Race Next Week. to The new balloon "Topeka II" is an chored in Westlawn park this after noon. The basket of the big gas bag 13 held to the ground by hundreds of sandbags and the pilot and aides in charge are making a thorough exami nation of the balloon to see that it is in shipshape for the international balloon race In Kansas City July 10. A few days before the Topeka II was shipped from its factory in St. Louis, the building In which the bag was stored collapsed. Two balloons, the Kansas City" and "Topeka II," .were stored in the place and the Kansas City bag was nearly destroyed. The Topeka II was covered with brick and debris as the dirt on the bag shows to day but no holes were punctured and nothing was destroyed. Topeka II is just twice the size of Topeka I the balloon that has been making ascents from Topeka the last few weeks. Topeka II holds 80,000 cubic feet of gas and stands more than 100 feet from the bottom of the basket to the top of the gas bag. The basket is much larger than the basket of the old balloon. It is pro vided with a "sleeping porch" that lets down inside the basket. An opening in the end of the basket allows a pas- opeKa s KODAK Depot senger to lie down with his feet out doors and sleep. The size of the basket is 3y2 feet deep, 3Vi feet wide and 5 feet long. It has been decided that R. Emerson, a former Santa Fe consulting engineer in Topeka, will accompany Pilot Frank M. Jacobs on the trip in the national races in Kansas City. Emerson 's a small man and as an aide it will be possible to carry many hundred pounds of ballast. The race starts from Kansas City July 10. Topeka is one of the five cities in the race. The other cities are New York, Cleveland and Kansas Cits'. The three winners of this national race will enter the international race in Kansas City later in the fall. In the International race foreign countries will be represented by military balloons with famous aeronauts. Pilot Jacobs is a brother of H. W. Jacobs, assistant superintendent of motive power of the Santa Fe in To peka. He is a registered pilot, having qualified from ascents in Topeka I from this city. He is an aeroplane in ventor and a born air man. Pilot Jacobs expects to be one of the winners in the national race. He is anxious to get into the international race and thus become famous in the aerial world. The new balloon Topeka II will be a srreat advertisement for the city. Painted on the gas bag in big letters is "Topeka -II" This can be seen by peo ple for miles. SAVED HIM FROfDEATH. EXPERT PRINTING AND DEVELOPING Prices lowest on all good grades of Supplies GEO W.

A factional row over the selection of a Republican state chairman for Alabama boiled to the surface at the WThite House today and has put President Taft in the pre dicament of choosing between Post master General Frank H. Hitchcock and Secretary C. D. Hillcs, as political adviser to the administration. P. D. Barker, postmaster at M:bile, and Re publican national committeeman, is backing Peter M. Long for state chair man, with the knowledge of Mr. Hitch cock. Secretary Hilles and Booker T. Washington, the negro educator, are understood to be backing J. O. Thomp son, collector of Internal revenue. Certain Alabamans to'j President Taft today that a majority of the Re publican state committee is with Bark er and asked that Alabama Republi cans be allowed to settle their row themselves. The president did not commit him self. He is In an embarrassing posi tion, however, since an endorsement of Barker might be regarded as a turn down for Hilles and an endorsement for Thompson might lock like a slap at the postmaster general.

GIVES UP HER SECRET The Maine Was Blown Up From Within, Says Bixby. Washington, July 6. The loss of the battleship Maine was caused by the ex plosion of her three magazines. No such effect as that produced upon the vessel could have been caused by an explosion from without. Such is the opinion of General William II. Bixby, chief of engineers, U. S. A., who has re turned from a personal inspection of the work of raising the Maine. General Bixby said that a portion of the deck over the magazines was blown upward and laid backward and there were numerous conditions of the hulk which proved this. No explosion from the outside, said the general, could have caused the same result. "W hat the primary cause of the ex plosion was," said General Bixby, "never will be learned." General Bixby does not believe the bodies of those who lost their lives will be found on the Maine. He says thev are probably buried two hundred feet or more from the wreck in the mud. While inspecting the work General Bixby prodded around the bow of the vessel. He found by his soundings that at least two-thirds of the bow wat absolutely wrecked. The sides had been practically blown away and were buried in the mud. This, he said, showed conclusively that the wreck of the Maine was caused by an explosion within the vessel.

Heat records were smashed all over Kansas Wednesday afternoon when temperatures which have been stand ing above 100 degrees nearly a week reached the high mark. Many pros trations have been reported and re ports of more are likely to fellow. Stock has suffered more than men because of the shortage of water. Crops are now in critical condition and a general rain must came soon to pre vent serious damage. In addition many Kansas towns now face an ice shortage.

Even Provisions Join in the General Slump of Talues. Soaking Rains in the West Bring About the Decline. Chicago, July 6. CORN Violent breaks in the price of corn followed today the bulge of more than 5 cents scored yester day. Cool weather and rain brought about almost a complete change of feel ing. In consequence oats, wheat and even provisions leu with corn. Everybody was trying to sell corn, and there were prac tically no buyers in sight. Accordingly the market at the opening dropped all the way from 2 to 3 cents under latest prev ious quotations. So unanimous was the reversal of outlook by the trade that no sign of reaction appeared, and the mar- Ket nung sullenly around the lower level reached at the outset. Soaking rains were reported from Ne braska, Kansas. Iowa and Illinois accom panied by a decided downward movement oi tne mercury. In addition the Liverpool market showed but little response to yes terday's big advances on this side of the Atlantic. Moreover a leading authority was quoted as pronouncing the condition of the crop excellent barring only that moiature would be needed to maintain the standard. September started at fiXV.i tn (uxc.r a. cline of 2c to 3c, and for a long time did iiui rany more man a sixteenth above that range. Buying on resting orders flnallv faiisH a littie further recovery but the swell did not last, ine close was steady at 64c for September, a net decline of 2c. OATS The oats market was exactly like that of corn. There was a general rush to sell, and no demand of any consequence. News of a probable big crop in Canada added to the bearish feeling in the oats crowd. September opened c to lc oft at 45 cents to 45 cents, and recovered only to 45c. WHEAT Business in wheat was not large, but nearly all orders were to sell. Support was poor from the very outset, and did not improve even until the stim ulus of bearish reports from North Da kota. The opening was c to lc lower: September started at 90e to 907ic. n loan of c to l(?Plc, and sagged to 90c. Subsequentlyyy increasing complaints of damage in North Dakota gave the market a lift but only for a time. The close was steady with September at 90c, a net loss of lfflc. PROVISIONS The provisions market was carried down by the weight of grain and hogs. First sales were 10c off to 5c up with spot delivery $15.75 to $15.90 for pork, $8.40 to $8.47 for lard and $8.55 to $8.57 for ribs. RYE No. 2, 85c. BARLEY 75c$1.15. TIMOTHY $9.0013.00.

STOCKS The market made a spirited recovery from yesterday s weakness in the early trading today. Prices were carried up ward in almost every department by a heavy buying movement. Among the rail roads the strongest issues were Union Pa cific and Great Northern preferred, which gained 1, Southern Pacific 1, Reading 1 and Canadian Pacific and St. Paul a point. United States Steel advanced more briskly than for some time, gaining a point in tne nrst rew minutes. Else where gains of large fractions were gen eral. The demand for stocks became more urgent on the announcement of beneficial rains in Kansas and Nebraska and a break in the corn and wheat options of from 1 to 3 cents. Union Pacific, Southern Pa cific, Great Northern preferred, sold to 2 points above yesterday's closing; General Electic 2 and the list generally irom i to 1. Reports of crop prospects were again the governing feature in the stock market. Prices rose rapidly during the morning in response to advices from the west that conditions had been improved by rains and that the hot wave hod been broken in crop regions. London bought stocks in this market for the first time this week and the reversal of position was interpret ed as an indication that the tension caused bv the Moroccan situation was relaxing. The volume of trading was not large enough to suggest that prices were being forced up by organized bullish effort as the market grew dull after the first up turn. Shorts grew more alarmed as the crop bulletin came in, and their buying was instrumental in sending up prices of the chief grain carrying issues materially. Union Pacific was the principal feature, its rise at midday amounting to nearly 3 points. United States Steel rose 1, the demand being stimulated by reports of further improvement in the steel and iron trade and an advance In the price of basic iron. Bonds were firm. Speculation was dull and fluctuations were insureent in the latter part of the day. Prices held well up to the high level of the forenoon. Many stocks showed ad vances of approximately two points.

THff TOPEKA DAILY STATS J OUBIiAIt THURSDAY EVENING, JV 6, 1911. 9 EIORTU SIDE HEWS "Rev. W. I. Cole Misquoted or Misrepresents," Says Commissioner Stotts Re garding Baptist Minister. ABOUT SMALL PARK. Treacher Claims So Flower or Grass Grows There. Park Man Alleges That This Is Misstatement. City water In the 1000 block of Cen tral avenue Is now an assured fact. Mains will be installed along the street In the near future, as Boon as some other work ahead is finished by the city water department. Dr. A. P. Davis of 1027 Central ave nue was one who inaugurated the im provement. He is remodeling Ms house with the idea of making it mod ern. However, there is no city water on Central avenue. The residents de pend upon wells for water for drinking and domestic use. Before the city will install water mains along a block it must be guar anteed that the residents thereof will use $55 worth of water a year for two years or 10 per cent on $550, the ex pense' of the installation. After two years it is considered that enough peo ple will take the water to pay thai per cent without a guarantee. Dr Davis and others passed around a paper among those owning property in the block until now nine have agreed to take water. This makes die expense a little over $9 a year oer water user. It is thought that within a year or two the other property owners on the street will agree likewise. It is also understood that such Improvement win reduce the Insurance rate because of the fire protection afforded by the nearness of the mains. At present, ,n case of a fire on Central avenue, the nearest hydrants are either on North Kansas avenue, a block east, or on North Jackson street, a block west. As it happens, no serious fire has ever occurred on Central avenue. Another consideration which is spoken of is that the improvement will greatly increase the value of property In the neighborhood and will make the street more desirable as a location. Those who have agreed to use water follow: O. Carlson, owner and tenant. 1019 Central avenue: Allen Brown, owner of R. R. Raer residence. 1021 Central avenue: Dr. A. P. Davis, own er and tenant. 1 027 Central avenue; Mrs V. R. Parkhurst,- owner Park hiirt property, 1033 Central avenuo; William Kmhry. owner of Jonas Bar rett residence on Central avenue, and K. P. McClintock. owner and tenant. 1101 Central avnne. As the hydrant will be located on the corner. Mr. Mc nintock. although In the 1100 block, VIll enjoy the city water. "Rev. W. I. Cole, pastor of the North side Baptist church, has been either badly misquoted or he has de liberately misrepresented facts." This from Eugene Stotts, city park commis sioner, in regard to a statement in che morning paper from Kev. Mr. Cole. The latter was quoted as saying that the park at Logan street and Central avenue had no grass or flower beds. The minister had asked for the park for the purpose of holding union cnurcn aeiviL-m .....t.. consent of C. G. Blakeley, the agent of the owner, a Boston woman, had been secured, but upon Mr. Stotts telling him that the park would be ruined by the holding of the services therein, he withdrew his consent. Now the locution for the services mentioned is still "up In the air." How ever, Rev. Mr. Cole states that begin ning' July 9, the meetings will be held in some otner place wmcn win ue lur nished with benches and electric lights. As to the park referred to Mr. Stotts pays that the people of the neighbor hood objected. Rev. Mr. Cole states that Mr. Stotts told him that one per son objected, but refused to disclose his name. In answer Mr. Stotts this afternoon said: "I didn't talk to Rev. Mr. Cole, as far as I know, but I can furnish him with the names of the people who are objecting, if he wishes. The park, the only beauty spot on the North side, is too small for such services, and would be ruined If meeting were held there." Notes and Personals. A very pretty home wedding was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. "W'olford, 1323 West street, July 5, when their daughter, Mabel May, was united In marriage to Mr. Roy M. Slaybaugh. The house was beautifully and artis tically decorated. The bride and groom stood under a very large bell. The bride carried a bouquet of bride's roses. The Rev. John W. Waldron, pastor of the Kansas Avenue M. E. church, read the ceremony. The groom is employed in the Santa Fe offices, and is the son of M. J. Slaybaugh, one of the business men of the North side.

Mack, of the Democratic national committee, is not playing any favorites for the Democratic presi dential nomination is indicated by the fact that in the July number of his Democratic magazine, National Month ly, he presents the claims of Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio for the nomi nation. This formal presentation was preceded by the presentation of Gov ernor Marshall of Indiana and Gov ernor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in preceding numbers. After review ing Governor Harmon's career and paying particular attention to his rec ord as governor, the article comments: "To say that Judson Harmon is in different to the movement which Is now nation wide to make him the lead er of the Democratic-progressive-patriotic majority of the national electorate In the presidential contest of 1912, would be to Impeach his Intelligence. "If the exigencies of the impending twelve months call him as the leader In the final, and it is to be hoped triumphant battle between manhood and mammon, he will advance the standard of the people with Iron nerve, and unswervable determination. If an other is accorded the chieftainship he will be found at the front." Russians Are Discharged. Faltan Guirdy and wife, Russians, who were tried in the police court on a charge of disturbing the peace of John Hepp and family by hurling explosive Russian words at them, were dis charged. There was no means of de termining whether the Russians had used abusive language or emphatic language. Perhaps they had merely attempted to open a conversation. No one was hurt and the foreigners as similated the advice to stay in their own yard so the ends of the law are satisfied.

Judge llawn for years has been reliable when Leavenworth v.ant ed real weather news. That is correct Information. He has spent many years of hia lifo in the study o climatic con ditions; his father did the same Uins und so did hia grandfather. Judge Hawn has evolved a new the ory on -weather conditions. 'The weatherman says that e set sll of our moisture from the Gulf of Ztfexico," said the Judge. "I can proya that he Is wrong by my theory. My theory is that the gulf moisture sun plies rain for us but only when it meets the moisture of some big reservoir the snow of the mountains and when there Is a shortage of mountain snow, we do not have the rain. If it were not true, why do we not have rain now wltn plenty of gulf moisture. Slmr'y be cause the snowfall this year vaa not plentiful. SnowfaU to Blame. "The snow from the mountain melts and is evaporated into the air. The atmosphere, you know, is like a spor.ge end kepps on drawing until full. But when the clouds have absorbed all they can hold, that is. when they reach the point of saturation, we get a rainfall. Our summer rains. I can show, have alwavs been delayed when the moun tain "moisture has not been sufficient to meet the gulf moisture, just as this J ear. "There may be something peculiar in this point but since I have not the ilata to go back to I am only assuming that I may show some relationship at a future day. The years when we have had drouths, like thus, ended in the number '1' 1911 1901 1S91. And my father often spoke of the ternb.e drouth of 1S61. Heat Absorbs Rain. "A good indication of rain? Well, the ordinary persons have some ideas of what they think are good indications. These last few months we hu'3 nad all the common indications. We have anticipated and been disappointed. The reason is this the clouds contain a very small percentage of moisture; a few drops of rain fall and the terrific he:it absorbs the rest. "The heavy clouds might be an indi cation of rain but it Is invariably proof positive when, if you look in back of the gathering clouds and see what might be termed a 's-tat.us' cloud one long uniform cloud covering the whole Hky then it will rain. These are the cumulus and the nimbus. No there hasn't been the usu;il June rise this year either. The river is low eralso due to the shortage of snow in the mountains. But that is the the- ka notinir nf the moisture of the mountains with that from the guU watch and see if you don't believe. The judge leaned back, picked up his cigar and said that he knew "we would be able to enjoy the Fourth if we uid not care about the price of potatoes, because it would not rain." terval the stream of it has oeen steadily increasing until there has now been marketed a very considerable quantity of it. Mr. Lysle gave it as his opinion that the average yield per acre would be about twenty bushels. Some of the fields, he said, have produced con siderably more than that, and some of them have fallen below that figure. HURT CORN CROP urassnoppers cause .loss in Western Kansas Counties. FARMER HOLDS IX) I IT; GIVES II". Explosion of Dynamite Scares Negro Road Graders. Wichita, Kan., July 6. Harvey Pit man came into Wichita alone at 10:30 Wednesday night and surrendnred to Sheriff Millhaubt at the county jail. He says he decided to give up when he learned a warrant was out for him. He was lodged at the jail and will probably be released on a peace bond today. James Sommers. the other farmer who has been fighting the grad ers, is still holding out, but It is be lieved he will give up now that Pitman has surrendered. Pitman Wednesday held the graders and sheriff at bay with a Winchester and prevented the commencement of work. A dynamite mine was exploded on the farm, frightening the negroes in the grading, camp so they refused so go on the place. J. E. Hopkins, right of way man for the Midland Valley, went on and removed about 12 separata charges of dynamite connected up with Wires. Later a party of surveyors attempted to replace the grade stakes on the right of way and then Pitman made himself heard from a nearby cornneki. ordering them off. They obeyed and later Sheriff Millhaubt arranged through Pitman's wife, for an inter view. Pitman stated that he would not be taken alive and would hold the grad ers at bay as long as he could. Mill haubt returned to town and secured a warrant and returned to the scone. DROUTH HELPS APPLE CROP. Rain by Middle of Month Will Insure Big Yield, Says Goble. Leavenworth, Kan., July 6. Prob ably the only business men who have not suffered from the drouth are the apple growers. So far the apple crop Is not damaged, and more than that, it has been bettered, according to Francis Goble. Rain before the middle of the month will Insure one of the most valuable apple crops growers in this state ever have had, Mr. Goble says. The state ment has reference to all the hardier varieties, as some of the earlier apples already have fallen to an extent to cause a loss of two-thirds of the nor mal yield. The only trees which will bear light are on the extreme low ground where ordinarily there is a superabundance of moisture. "The June fall, that is the apples which dropped from the trees In that month, will better the yield and qual ity. The weak fruit will not sap the life of the tree to the damage of the good stock. While it was heavier than for some years, it is only sufficient 10 leave a normal crop to ripen," he said. WELLS SELLS BIG RANCH. nXD WHEAT CROP GOOD. Former Pessimists Xow I Jated at Un expected Yield. Leavenworth, Kan., July 6. Far mers who two months ago were the rankest sort of pessimist when they discussed the condition of their wheat crop, aro finding it under the treat ment of the threshing machines the surprise of their lives. Not only is it in jield a very fair average crop for the county, but never in the history of wheat raising here has its quality been excelled. E. D. Lysle of the Lysle Milling company said that it was the finest wheat he had seen in the twenty-one years of his connection with the mill ing business. Some of it has graded (is high as 64 pounds to the bushel. Home grown wheat began pouring into the Leavenworth mills and ele vators ten days ago. During the in- Kansan Retires on Eortune Made in Short Grasa Setion. Hill City, Kan., July 6. William Wells, ex-representative and one of the oldest and best known citizens of this county, left this week for the eastern part of the state where he will visit for a few weeks. From there he will go to the Pacific coast and visit throughout the west. He sold his big How creek ranch this spring for $S3. 000 and purchased some land near Atchison, where the family will prob ably live after their return from the west. Mr. Wells has always been a great believer in the short grass country and since he came to this county he has accumulated a small fortune. He has always been optimistic in all the years of droughts and misfortunes and lived to see the fruits of his labors fully realized. TOBACCO ENTHUSIASM WAXES. Kansas Growers Fear Drouth and low Prices. Atchison, July 6. Although the soil near here raises an excellent quality of white burley tobacco, tobacco en thusiasm over there is waning some what. Owing to the drouth, tobacco isn't the only discouraging feature. Two years ago, the first big tobacco year in this section, the growers re ceived 13 and 14 cents a pound for their product. Corilanus Thorpe, a landlord, leased 2 acres to three Ken tuckians. The crop sold for $7,140. Thorpe received half the crop and made $3,000. Last year, owing to the drop in prices, Thorpe made only about half as much and his tenants proportionately less. Most of the tobacco is grown on leased land by Kentuckians, who know the business. U. S. Expert Uelps Farmers Fight New Pest. ALFALFA HIT HARD Talk of Fighting Insects as in Early Days. Plants Cut Off Cleanly as if With Knife. Hutchinson, Kan., July 6. Because of a threatened invasion by grasshop pers in the western part of the state, the Santa Fe railway company has joined with the farmers in fighting the pest. The Santa Fe will kill all grasshop pers along its right of way, using a poison preparation which will anni hilate them. The "hoppers" are re ported worst in the section between Syracuse and Holly, but they are also reported all through the southwestern part of the state. These are not the same kind of grasshoppers which did so much dam age in Kansas in the '70's, but are a much less harmful pest, not covering such an area in their depredations. However, reports received from Ham ilton, Stanton, Grant and Stevens counties, indicate that much damage is being done by the "hoppers."' United Slates Fights Pest. H. O. Marsh, of the bureau of en tomology, of the United States depart ment of agriculture, is in charge of the campaign being made against the grasshoppers in the Arkansas valley. The poison mixture being used, on his recommendation, in fighting the pest, is as follows: Bran 100 pounds, paris green four pounds or white arsenic three pounds, molasses four pounds, salt six pounds Mix thoroughly, add enough water to dampen the mixture, apply liberally where needed in fields. Caution: Exercise utmost care to prevent live stock or poultry from feed ing upon it. In Scott county grasshoppers arc causing much alarm by their ravages in the alfalfa fields. They are being successfully combated, however, by the use of poison preparations. One Scott county ranchman, on Challr ereek, has purchased about 300 turkeys, which are running in his alfalfa, keep ing down the "hoppers" and incidental ly fattening for the Thanksgiving mar ket. Corn Badly Damaged. Sedan, Kan., July 6. Added to a prolonged drouth anrt a tomnm-o that stays most of the time above 100, me xarmers or tnis county have found grasshoppers their foe. Many fields of corn and alfalfa have hwn oia ruined during the past few days. The insects are or the old time red legged variety and nioneers sav tha ii like those of the "grasshopper year." oome neias ot corn have been cut off almost as smooth as though knives had done it.

The train load of stock was made uo of cattle which were received here by shippers three months ago to be pas tured during the grazing season. In case the drouth continues, cattle will be rushed to market in great num bers in the course of the next few weeks as pastures are all short and the grass supply in many is now reported to be so far exhausted as to furnish hardly sufficient nourishment for the stock depending on them. According to the leading shippers here, this in an anxious time for all cattlemen, for without rain to replenish the gross, stock cannot subsist n pas tures a great while longer and the re sult will be a heavy rush to market which would naturally cause lower prices. STRANGERS TRY TO BOARD ALTO Tramps Run After Car After Failing in First Attempt. Riley, Kan., July 6. As Stanley Freelove and a party were coming up from Manhattan they met two men who tried to stop the car. The road was rough and up grade and the car was going slowly. The men stepped to either side of the road and as the car came up they tried to board it. But they missed their hold and as it passed them they tried to get aboard from the rear and in their disappointment ran behind ten or fifteen rods, but finally gave up. The driver forced the car ahead and thus eluded them. f BOTS SEXD PET TO BABY. Sold by Dealers t 31 j i Established 1839 my a L.verv where Give Tp "Nanny" Because Child Needs Goat's Milk.
