Sctcu Big Balloons Are Ready for the Start In the Elimination Race at Kan sas City, Mo. ARE EVENLY MATCHED Each Is of About 80,000 Cubic Feet Capacity. Silver Cups Will Be Awarded the Two Leaders. Kansas City, Mo., July lO.-Seven 5' ant balloons, piloted by widely known American aeronauts, today tug at their moorings in the aviation field alon3 the Missouri river here and await t.'e starting signal in the National balloon race. At 4 o'clock this afternoon, or as soon thereafter as atmospheric con ditions will permit, the starter, A. B. Lambert, president of the St. Louis Aero club, will officially release tee fir n struggling air craft. At intervals of five minutes thereafter, until the last balloon shall have cleared the ground, a contestant will be set free. This is an elimination content for trie purpose of selecting two pilots to rep resent the United States in the James Cordon Bennett cup race, which start3 from Kansas City next October a. HJ that race, which is an Internationa! event three pilots, the two leaders m the National meet and Alan R. Haw lev will sail under the stars and stripes. It was Hawley who piloted the America II to victory in the Bennett cup race last vear bv making a spectacular flight of 1171 13-100 miles into the Canadian wilds. On account of this performance be is eligible to fly in the international contest this year without making a preliminary trip. The Entries.

Kansas City, on account of its inland location, is believed to be an ideal starting point for a race un ,ler such conditions.

The honor of competing in the Ben nett cup race is, of course, the dik Plum for which the pilots in the contest today are striving, but there arc other prizes to be gain. Each pilot, regard less of his showing in the meet, will oe given $100. Silver cups will be award ed the two leaders. One of the entrants. Lieut. Frank F Lahrn, won the Bennett cup the first time it was ever raced for. That race started from I'aris on September r,o iyti6. He flew to Whitby, Eng land, a distance of 4 15 miles. Last rear he again was an entrant in the race. That time he sailed the balloon be is piloting today, the St. Louis IV, Rr,0 miles. Lieut. Lahrn has been long connected with the army. At present his duty is that of instruc tor in aeronautics at Ft. Riley. Kim. Truly Clifford it. Harmon, who lias entered the New York, loves to fly. His father-in-law. Commodore E. C. Benedict, is said to have offered him $100,000 to ouit flying, but Harmon never seriously considered taking the bait. Harmon is wealthy in his own right. He is both a balloonist and an aviator. Capt. H. K. Honeywell has made IBS balloon trips, more than any oth er entrant. His most noted flisrht was from Chicago on July 4. 190$, when bo crossed Lake Michigan. Lake Huron. Lake Ontario and Lake Ohamplain before alighting. In an Attempt to win the Lahrn cup on May 19. 1910. Captain Honeywell be came becalmed while hovering over Lake Michigan. After several hours his craft was finally carried tip and across to the Michigan side, where he made a safe landing. He manufac tured the balloon Kansas City, which he is sailing In this race. Assman's Perilous Might. One. of the most perilous balloon flights ever made in this country was that 'f William F. Assman from San Antonio. Tex., to Uower. Mo., la.n February 24. in an attempt to win the Lahrn cup. A few hours after he ascended his balloon. the Miss Sofia, was eaucht up in a snow cloud. At one time the bag reached an alti tude of 16.000 feet. Assman was in the air twenty-two hours and twenty eight minutes, making an average distance of 32,i miles an hour. The efforts of John M. Berry, pilot of the Million Population club bal loon, have been centered, in the main, upon perfecting a steering apparatus for a dirigible balloon. He has made several short flights. J. H. Wade, jr., is credited with be ing a courageous balloonist. Many of h'.s flights have been made in the great lakes section, where each ascension is frauerht with great danger. He has experienced several narrow escapes but has never been seriously injured. Frank M. Jacobs of Topeka was but recently licensed a pilot, but he is said to be absolutely fearless. From every city that has a repre sentative in the race delegations were present when the aviation field grates opened, three hours before the time for the rirrr. balloon to rise. St. Louis sent a crowd on a special train. Seats for approximately ten thous and persons are provided in the avia tion field, which was but recently com pleted. Room is also set apart for a thousand automobiles. Sixteen thous and feet of sixteen inch pipe carried gas to the balloons. Natural gas, which has Deen passed tnrougn neaieu pipes for the purpose of eliminating the carbon, was used to fill the bags. J. W. Bemis, the wealthy St. Louts sportsman, directed the work of in flating the balloons. Weather Is Fine. Earlv in the day ideal conditions prevailed, and it appeared that the aeronauts would have their wish for ool weather and a brisk wind. The arrangement to start the bal loons, beginning at 4 o'clock, was re vised at the last moment and the hour for starting fixed at 5 o'clock at the request of several contestants, who ar gued that the less time given the sun to heat the gas in the big bags, the better the chance for a long flight. The contestants today drew lots for places at the starting. The seventh and last place, regarded by the aero nauts as the best, was drawn by Clif ford B. Harmon, representing the Aero club of New York. Before the J bajloons are started in the national race, a 40.000 cubic foot balloon half the capacity of the others, piloted by J. Cowen Hurlbert of St. Louis, will be started by Mr. Hurlburt in a contest for the record in 40.000 fcot bags. He will make the flight without aid. His balloon will be released at 4:30 o'clock. THEY PLEAD' fiOT GUILTY Wire Men Secure a Delay VnlU Sept, 1st. New York. July 10. The eighty three wire manufacturers indicted on June 29, under the anti-trust law on charges of restraining trade in wire products, began their fight against the government today by entering pleas of not guilty and securing a delay un til September 1, to enable them to file demurrers. Each man's bail was fixed at $1,000. Only thirty of those indicted made appearances in the United States court todav but District Attorney Wise said ho had received assurances that the attitude of all would be practical ly uniform and that the rest would file pleas in a day or two and be In cluded under the action of the court taken today. Neither Herbert L, Satterlee, J. P. Morgan's son-in-law; nor Frank J. Gould were present. Mr. Satterlee entered a plea through his attorney but Mr. Gould was not rep resented. ARGUMENT BEGINS. Taking of Testimony in See Case Is Concluded. Chicago, July 10. Evelyn Arthur See was accused of hiding behind the skirts of women when argument on the evidence was begun in Judge Honore'a court. Assistant States Attorney. Burnham pointed out that four women had been called to the witness stand, and that two of them had admitted tho writing of what the prosecution con siders the most damaging portions of the -'book of truth." He declared that the testimony had been of a nature which probably would not be heard again in many years. Attorney Cant well of the defense, made the tisual motion to take the case from the jury, and was overruled. Burnham's ar raignment of the defendant as a hypo crite and profligate veiling his mis deeds with the cloak of religion was scathing. TAFT BACK AT WORK. President Keturns from a Two Iays' Yachting Trip. Washington, July 10. President Taft and his senatorial yachting party returned to Washington .this morning after a two days cruise down the coast and up the Chesapeake bay and Potomac river. After the Mayflower docked the president went to the White House for breakfast. Half an hour later he was at work in the exe cutive offices. The president and his guests left politics and the cares of state behind and gave themselves over to thorough enjoyment of salt breezes. 5 u ONTOWASHINGTOH Atwood and Hamilton Fly Away From Atlantic City On a Single Biplane for the Na tional Capital. FOLLOW COAST LINE. Were Mounting Higher as They Passed Out of Sight. Descend to Earth Two Miles East of Baltimore. Atlantic City. July 10. Harry At wood and "Charley" Hamilton chanced the elements again today and succeed ed in making a good get away at 4:50 a. m. on their flight to Washington When they sailed out of sight they were making great speed, hampered by nothing more than a Kent's w-rstotly breeze. The weather was ideal. Both men declared they would reach Balti more bv 10 o'clock. "We will be at least a hundred miles from here by 7 o'clock," confidently sht i.ted Atwood as the machine :nted Ho n the ground. The pair worse! hard getting (he Hamilton biplane in shape f-jr its trip. Part so fthe machine in which Atwood nu-de his flight her3 from New York were removed from the wrecked Li plane and taken to Ventnor. near hf re, shortly after the men had a narrow escape in a 75 foot plunge to earth yesterday. It was nightfall before, the tail had been replays!, the new blades adjusted, the understructure repaired and the bent and twisted framework tuned up. Atwood and Hamilton early today wheeled the machine from the hangar. They started almost in the tracks of the smashup of yesterday in which they were in danger of their lives. Everything worked perfectly. At wood, with Hamilton seated beside him, lifted the machine to a traveling altitude of four hundred feet. First he circled over the meadows near the ocean, and then daited the plane for the coast line. When they passed out of sight they were making great speed and still mounting higher. Baltimore, July 10. Atwood's ma chine descended at Stemmer's Hun two miles east of this city, at 9:45. So far as could be learned there was no mishap. The intence heat forced Atwood and Hamilton to discontinue their flight, temporarily at least. The two airmen arrived here by train from Stemmer's Run on the Pennsylvania railroad where they left their machine. The tale of the aerial journey as tola by Atwood was one or a fight bit terly contested against heavy odds "We worked over the machine until 12 o'clock last night." said Atwood, "and it was nearly 1 o'clock when we retir ed. We had several hours' sleep and had but little trouble in starting, leav ing the beach promptly at 5:04 o'clock "The first part of the flight was de lightful. The morning air was not so warm but the humidity was high and even at first we had a great deal of trouble In getting any speed or eleva tion. At no time during the flight did we reach an elevation of more than 250 feet. "The first and only intermediate stop was made at 6:45 o'clock at Farn hurst. Del., 35 miles from Philadelphia for fuel. After a rest of three minutes we were again in the air. "Striking out along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad we followed the tracks and fought to get elevation enough to clear the telegraph wires. Sometimes we were obliged to leave the raiiroad tracks because of the fact that we were dangerously near the ground. We were racing trains too and we could not get on the track for that reason. "One hour on the line was rassed with clearance of only about IS feet and the trees brushed the wheels of the machine at some points. We land ed at Stemmers Run simply because the machine would not go any further un der the weather conditions." The crowds along the line of flight increased as the hours grew and at Havre De Grace, practically the en- ALWAYS IN GREEKTIIEATRE National Educational Association Convenes at Berkley, Calif. Prominent Educators Present From All Over the Country. ELLA FLA(J(x YOUNG Outlines Work of the Conven tion in an Address. Annual Report Shows an Excel lent Financial Condition. San Francisco, July 10. In sur roundings typifying the best of the civilization and education of ancient Greece, the forty-ninth convention of the National Educational association opened this afternoon in the Greek theater of the University of California at Berkeley. The educators were welcomed to California by Governor Hiram W. Johnson, Mayor P. H. Mc Carthy of San Francisco, C. C. Moore, president of the Panama Pacific expo sition, and President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the Lmversity of Cali fornia. R-esponse was made on behalf of the delegates by Robert J. Aley, president of the University of Maine. After an address by President Ella Flagg Young of the association, out lining the work of the convention, the state delegations met to select mem bers of the nominating committee and a committee on resolutions was ap pointed. The treasurer s report and the re port of the board of trustees received during the day shows tho association is faring well financially. The trustees' report shows $180,000 in the permanent fund and the treas urer's report shows $9,000 added to this fund in the course of the year. The association receipts are given as $48,909, and its expenditures as $34, 978. The trustees' report on the per manent fund does not carry the signa ture of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, ex officio member of the board. Mrs. Young has criticised the method of managing the fund several times since she took office. METER ORDINANCE READY Plan to Force All TTsers of Water Onto This Basis Introduced. The ordinance requiring all users of city water to be placed on the meter basis came up before the city commis sioners this mornrag for the first read ing. This ordinance gives the super intendent of the waterworks power to cut off the supply from all consumers who refuse to have their rates changed after May 1, 1912. As soon as the ordinance is pub lished officially it will become a city law and the work in changing the flat rate users to meter rate consumers will begin at once. Everyone of the 1,400 flat rate users in the city will have to be changed to a meter be fore the first of next May. The cost of making this transfer will be charged to the consumers. In Topeka only 20 per cent of the water consumers are on the flat rate and the change will not be as serious as in other cities, where a big part of the people allow their water to run all day without extra charge. This ordinance was prepared by H. P. Miller, city water commissioner, and Jesse Shaw, superintendent of the waterworks. It was drawn up as a precaution against water shortages in the future. It is declared that when the entire city is on the meters, a water shortage will be a thing of the past. tire population turned out to greet the airmen as they passed. Soon after reaching the Pennsylvania tracks an express train was picked up and the aeroplane acted as a sort of rilot all the way to Stemmers Run sta tion. BUTTING IN. HE'S BACK IN JAIL Life of Win. Stoltzman Is a Ro mance of Crime. Once Tried for Murder, Now He's a Plain Burglar. TKIED TO KILL SELF. Didn't Want to Come Back to Topeka. Was a Telegraph Operator When Tried for Murder. The life of William A. Stoltzman. who was brought back to Topeka to day for burglarizing Topeka stores 13 a romance of crime. Stoltzman attempted suicide when he was arrested Sunday night in a cheap hotel on McGee street in Kansas City by plunging a safety pin into his throat Once acquitted of murder, at another time charged with stealing a suitcase containing bonds valued at $48 000, Stoltzman came to Shawnee county where he stole a few suits of clothing, and cleverly secured C. O. D. goods from an express company without ti e expenditure of a dollar. Stoltzman is but 30 years old. Yet in 10 years he has faced juries for many grave offenses. Always luck seemed to break in favor of the young man. teyi pathy alone is said to have secured his acquittal for murder in Bourbon coun ty in 1903. The same innocent, boyi.sh tace and indomitable luck aid ed Stoltzman when he stole the valu able suitcase in Kansas City a year later. A clever trick gave Stoltsuuan his freedom when he embezzled pro perty from an express company in Shawnee county three months ago. Then he was arrested for burglarizing the Middaugh store and Gilbeig tailor shop. When two officers arrested Soltzman last night, the young man's confidence and nerve seemed suddenly to leave him. From his shirt Stoltzman took a large safety pin and slashed at his throat. The officers interfered and only a few scratches wore evidence of the young man's effort to end his own life. This afternoon Stoltzman was brought to Topeka and will be tried in the Shawnee county district court on a charge of burglary-. "It just seemed that I couldn't go back to Topeka and face my wife again," sobbed Stoltzman. as he broke down in the Kansas City hotel. don't know what she will think of me after all the trouble I have had. So when I was arrested this time I thought I would end it all." Jt was Feb. 4, 1903, when a jury In FtrtScott acquitted Stoltzman of the charge of murdering M. J. Morrison, a wealthy merchant and postmaster at Pawnee. Kan. Morrison slept in the store and was killed by a robber, who it is believed, awakened him and called him to the door on the pretense that he wanted a bottle of patent medicine. About $a00 was taken from Morrison's secret hiding place. Morrison and Stoltzman had been intima,te and circumstances showed the crime had been committed by someone familiar with the murdered man's habits. Stoltzman's actions were suspicions. Thirty telegrams filed hy the sheriff for transmission were in Stoltzman's possession at the time of his arrest. In the crowded court room Stoltz man's appearance was that of a mere child. Owing to his age, sympathy was overwhelmingly in the defendant's favor. Women and girls sat through the long trial and these persons showed Stoltzman numerous courte sies. The sympathy became contagious and affected even the jurors in trial of the case. Stoltzman was acquitted amid thunderous applause. Only a few weeks after he walked from the J ort Scott jail a free man Stoltzman entered the Commerce build ing in Kansas City, where he stole a suit case containing bonds valued at probably $48,000. After taking the grip to the express omce, where it was sent to "W A. Mills, Parsons, Kansas, Stoltzman walked to the bank buildin; and applied for a position. The loss of j the suit case had been discovered ana the young man was suspected. Two hours later Stoltzman was arrested for the crime and confessed his guilt. He had been a telegraph operator at Maple Hill and elsewhere and went to work for the Santa Fe. He was soon in trouble and was sent to the reform atory. Recently Stoltzman and his young wife came to Shawnee county. At Pauline a few weeks ago, Stoltzman walked into the depot and announced that he was an official of the wens Fargo Express company and wanted two automobile tires on which ther-J were $56 C. O. D. charges. He received the goods. A few days later Stoltzman was arrested. He paid the money which the express company lost and left town before his case was called for trial. Last week the Middaugh store was burglarized. Several coats and vests were taken. The same night someone took several pairs of trousers from the I. Gilberg tailor shop. Late Saturday alternoon the Middaugh people re ceived a telegram to the effect that a man was trying to sell goods at Kirks ville. Mo., which bore the firm's trade mark. It was Stoltzman. He was fol lowed to Kansas City and arrested Sunday evening. With the same calm deliberation, Stoltzman confessed his guilt. At the county attorney s office this afternoon it was announced that Stoltzman will be held for trial on the embezzlement count and the charge of burglary. Mrs. Stoltzman has been to the court house several times recently in an effort to secure her husband's release on the first charge. Not until Stoltzman's arrest yesterday did the Shawnee county officials learn of the prisoner s elaborate criminal record. GOOD GENTLE RAIN. But the Total Fall Sunday Was Less Than Half an Inch. Crop saving rain, officially register ed as .37 of an inch in Topeka. visit ed the state Sunday. The precipita tion was general and was the heaviest for six weeks. Only a narrow strip on the extreme north and west of Kansas was outside of the rain belt. Shortly after daylight the rain be gan. At 12:30 Sunday afternoon an other shower fell. The first rain amounted to .26 of an inch: the second to .11 of an inch. Since May 2 6, ac cording to the weather bureau, the showers were the heaviest that have fallen. Over the plains states, the Rocky mountains and plateau regions and the Pacific states, according to the general weekly forecast issued Sun day by the weather bureau in Wash ington, the next few days will be gen erally fair with moderate temperature, probably followed by a period of un settled w-eather and local showers af ter Wednesday. Moderate temperatures will mean the continuation of the record-break ing showing made by the mercury Sunday. At 8 o'clock in the morning the minimum, 71 degrees, was re corded. The maximum, 8 4 degrees, came at 6 o'clock in the afternoon Not since June 18 has the thermome ter registered so low an average. Since morning a moderate rise in temperatures as compared with the last two days is shown. The mercury, howev, has not arisen to a point wher any records are likely to be broiten without there is a consider able change from the present.

WAS TEN BELOW ZERO Rescued hy Girl Who Heard tho Noise Inside. Prof. Otto Maurer of K. S. A. C. at Seymour Packing Plant. Prof. Otto Maurer of the Kansas State Agricultural college was nearly frozen to death in Topeka Saturday afternoon. That statement seems incredibla when ore remembers the torrid weath er, but it is nevertheless a fact ti was for four hours locked in a cold storage room of the Seymour Pack ing company, where th- temperatura was id degrees below zero. Had not one of the girl employees heard tha unusual noise made when he pounded upon the inside door Maurer would surely have frozen to death in a shorn time. Professor Maurer Is a member of the faculty of the Kansas State Agri cultural college. He is on, of the members of tho bacteriological de partment. This summer he has been working in the laboratories of the Sey mour Packing company analyzing the canned and frozen egg compounds and doing research work. Saturday afternoon when the tem perature of the thermometer in the front of tho packing plant showed a reading not far from the 100 mark. Professor Maurer decided he would have to gather a few canned egg sam ples stored in the big cold storage room. Going to the room which is situated in the rear of the main building ha stepped inside the freezing atmos phere and closed the door behind him. Now the cold storage room of a packing plant is guarded like the re frigerator of the modern home. Tha door of the room is opened only when necessary and every employee is ad monished not to leave the doors open doors that would permit the warm air to enter into the ttorage. In this storage the temperature ,e mains usually at from 1 to 10 degrees below zero. The men when they pack cases in here work with gloves on their hands and coats buttoned tip tight around them. Professor Maurer Intended to stay only a few minutes and he entered hatless. coatless and with the light clothes that a man wears in the heat of the summer. Door Failed to Open. After attending to his duties ha turned to the door and yanked at the handle. It wouldn't open. Again he jerked and again the stubborn door stuck. A third pull and the cold sweat stood out on the professor's brow. The door wouldn't open and as it was early in the afternoon, no em ployees would visit the storage room until closing time or possibly until the next day! For a few minutes Professor Maur er was dumbfounded. As he stood1 leaning against the icy door his body chilled and he shivered as the 10-below-zero atmosphere penetrated hia clothing and his skin. Frantic after his minutes of fear and' after the result of his illusions of a. night in this place with nothing to wear but a light shirt, light trousers and the lightest of underwear, the col lege professor yelled at the top of hi voice. The very muffling of his yelH In the cold room told nim that no on from outside the thick walls couM hear his cries and come to his rescue. Once more he tore at the handle of the door. Ke kicked it with his foot and scratched at the paneied front. But to no avail. Finally after a halt hour of jerking and kicking and tear ing the handle was torn from its fastening in the wood and the profes- -sor fell to the floor with the handle in his hand. At this point he say in agony tha result. The handle ripped from tha door left no means to opening the bar ricade to his escape and nothing but flat frosty panel greeted him. But the college man did not give ip. Chilled to the bone by the biting cold, frantic with fear an dspurred with tha thoughts that no escape would mean ultimate danger, he tore down a pile of canned eggs and threw the big cans at the heavy door. A half hour later a German girl a girl from the Maurer fatherland happened to be passing the storage room. She heard a booming sound nn one of the egg cans crashed again"!-, the door. Then she heard other souni? of turmoil and rushing to her foreman she informed him of, what she had heard. The foreman with the girl rescuer hurried to the scene and wit ha simpl, turn of the outside handle he swung open the big door. Falling out of the opening with hands scratched and bleeding and with moustache coated with frost, the wildeyed professor struggled out of the door into the sum mer air. He was little worse for his experi ence and was soon revived.

Held utter ly helpless by Knapp's pitching in the first game of Saturday, Topeka rallied In the aeconrl and tied the score In their half of the ninth, only to lose In the Lopes' end of the frame. The Lincoln team played two errorless Karnes and bagged nineteen hits for eight runs in the afternoon, while To peka. made eight hits for three runs and pled their chances with three errors. The first game consisted of Le'v'l Knapp. Only twenty-eight men faced him. one getting a hit and one a -walk. Harford, -who singled in the first, vu caught off the Back by a re markable throw made by Knapp and every Kaw went down in order till the r.inth Inning, when. witl two gone.

The other two runs lor the Lopes came on home runs by Cobb and Thomas, made remarkable by the fact that they were hitting into a thirty-mile an hour wind. Just two Raws reached first. Knapp's remarkable fielding account ed for this, the big fellow cutting down about three safe hits through the box and getting a total of six assists. McCormick made a one-handed catch on the dead run of Chapman's drive and Gagnier's fast play on his four chances featured the mflcld work. For Topeka, King was the only player to draw applause, his great run in be hind Kreps and elegant catch of a high fly which the wind blew nearly back to the infield being a great piece of work. Topeka's errors were a boot by Moore and Whitney'? failure to hold a thrown-in by Chapman for a double play on Cobb. One walk and no hits were regis tered off Durbin in the first two in nings of the second came. Then Ehman walked with one gone and was forced at second by Cole. Cole took third when Durbin made a wild throw to first and scored when Cobb singled to right center. Cobb stele second and took third on Hawkins' bad peg. Dun don singled to right, scoring Cobb. Had It not been for the errors, only one run would have tallied. Rickert Plays llard. Topeka drew Its first run In the fifth Inning. Rickert drove one through Cockman's hands for a sin gle. Hafford popped up, but Whitney walked. Rickert pilfered second while Hafford was at bat, third while Whit ney was at bat and came home on icing's torceout of Whitney at second, the throw for the double being' a split second slow. Moore fouled to Mc Graw. Lincoln made it back in the sixth. Dundon flew out to Beecher, who took left when Rickert was canned in the earlier half of the inning for kicking when Clark called him out at first. McCormick singled past Kreps and stole second. He scored when Gagnier singled to right, the Frenchman mak ing the last out when Crisp whipped Chapmain's throw-in back to second. The Kaws made a bid in the eighth when Crisp doubled with none out. Gagnier pulled down Durbin's popup and Beecher was robbed of a hit by McCormick whose throw beat Crisp to second for the third out. The Kaws came hack strong in the ninth. Haf ford waited it out, Whitney flew out to Cobb, but King walked and Haf. ford scored when Chapman singled to center. King taking third on the play. Moore lined to McCormick, King beat the throw to the plate, tying the score Crisp popped to Dundon. The winning run carny in the last half. Thomas drove one through short with terrific speed to the fence and scord with one out when Cockman speared one to center. Both teams played great ball la this game. RIckert's throw to the plate extinguishing uoie In the fifth. Haw kins pulled down a foul out of the first box and Hafford went far to wards second and landed a nice as' sist. McCormick's catch and throw to second for a double drew a big hand, but the work of Gagnier around short was brilliant and steady throughout, featuring tne snortstop and causing comment from the crowd which is used to his stellar work. Rickert was sent out of the game when he pro tested Clark's decision in calling him out at first on a close play, and Haw kins was forced to retire in the fourth inning, his finger being badly twisted by a foul tip.

Sioux City at Omaha, Not until nearly time for the game to begin Sunday and about 500 people had eotten to the Dark was it aeciaea to postpone the game. The reason of wet grounds was given but there was no water standing about the field and the sun was shining. A. Sunday game Is something f ouaht for in the schedule meetings and not to be disdained. There were hundreds of people ready with transfers uptown to go to the park. Many games are played on soggier fields. Then to make the matter doubly bad, it was decided to play a double header today. A double header, while It is a tnesome arrangement, is drawing card but not one to be wast ed on a Monday. And farther than that the locals cart not well afford to play off doubles now when they are gong bad unless they are going to go worse. Th Kaws broueht Joe Burns, lankv outfielder thev bought from Dayton last spring, home with them Ha was farmed to Seward in tne Je- braska Bta.t league. Bo is said to have become a great player. Just now, however, he is using crutches be cause of an injured ankle. This is not expected to keep him out of the game long. J The management can not find Wiedensaul, the second sacker with Denverearlier in the season. They of fered him a job and he accepted terms. He w-as supposed to report in Pueblo or at least Lincoln. At the time ha was over at Trinidad helping out the semis. He is also expected to report here. Herman Luettke, the second sacker of the Western as jctation, tried out was pushed along by the management. Krebs is still holding down the key stone, but King looked great there on the one day he was drawn in. With the outfield crippled by Crompton's absence, King must stay in the garden. What the Lincoln News says of Chapman: Chapman, the Topeka re chuit, who yesterday hauled down drives by Manager Bob and Big Bill McCormick and robbed our athletes of a pair of three-ply swats, halls from Concordia in the Northern Kannas league. His regular position is behind the bat, but few more sensational out field stunts than his contributions of yesterday have been witnessed this year at the Lincoln park. The Topeka club la loud in its de nunciation of the treatment accorded them by Umpire George Clark and Chief Jack Haskell on the road. Clark is the one who refused the one more ball in Denver. The report is that he admitted ha had not been to Denver for a year because they had all but mobbed him at his last visit. Maybe he was taking no chances. Rickert says Haskell threw him out of the grounds at Pueblo for merely asking fair play while Isbell remained after threatening to choke the umps. "Do we get nothing out of this?" Rickert asked after a putrid decision. "Get out o' the grounds and see whether you do or not," wag Haskell's civilized rejoinef. Now It becomes known that Bar ney McGrath was sold by Lincoln be cause of his temperament nothing more. Says the Lincoln News: Meanwhile, the Kaws are asking President Despain to let them have one or two of his surplus of pitch ers. The local magnate is willing to help the Kaws, who are In dire need of aid, and it should occasion no sur prise in caee an Antelope twlrler switches clubs and becomes a Kaw, but there can be nothing doing unless the Topeka management cuts out the nonsense of kicking on the McGrath deal. The Lincoln club la not at fault In any sense because Barney has fail ed to deliver the goods for Topeka. The only reason for this sale was that he was not easily amenable to club discipline, a statement which is no re flection whatever on Barney's habits, but pertains to matters entirely tem peramental. The Kawa might well hold fast to McGrath. The Carbon dale athlete may yet get to going and repeat the sensational pitching that featured his toil while he was wearing Lincoln uniform. Fred Beck, the utility outfielder of the Cincinnati club, will wear a Philadel phia National League uniform, as the result of a deal just closed. Outfielder Wilson, recently purchased from Phil adelphia by Calgary and Pitcher Hum phreys will go to Cincinnati in exchange for Beck. "Speck" Harkneas, pitcher, has been released by the Cleveland baseball club to the Portland, Ore., club from which he was obtained. The El Dorado baseball team in the Kansas State league has blown up. The association is broke and is unable to raise enough money to keep the team going, eo the business manager received orders this morning to turn the team over to President Stahl at Hutchinson. The dry season here has caused the trouble as people are afraid to invest any money. The other towns in the league have had poor support at the games. This lost money for u as we only received the forfeit and that wasn't enough to pay the expenses while away. The franchise goes to the league and they will probably sell it to some other town which wants to enter the ball world. Chick Mattick still leads the Western League hitters having an average f .360.

When near the bottom he became faint and called for help, and also started t- fall into the well, but his feet caught in the ladder in such a manner as to hold him. Lewis Cloud, at the top of the well, called Mr. Ahern and they fastened' a strap onto the ladder and was drawing it up, and when near the top the strap broke, letting the ladder and Ross fall tack into the well. In falling, the young man's head struck against a rock, fracturing the skull so badly that Dr. Brawley, who had been called, says caused the young man's death. MRS. CECIL BAXKHEAD DIES.

The sister claimed that it wasn't necessary for thi3 con servative and high-class house to do any advertising1 at all that people knew they could get the finest kind of merchandise at this store and that they would go there whether it ad vertised or not. The brother claimed that his sister's state ment was absurd, and she claimed that her brother exag gerated tne value of advertis ing. Now, the facts are that the house referred to ADVER TISES IN IDENTICALLY THE SAME MANNER AS IT DID THIRTY YEARS AGO it has thus far refused to change its methods. Its advertising is merely a catalogue of prices of the merchandise to be sold. The business of the house is not a8 great as it once was. It has forgotten that new people are growing up in its commun ity that young men and young women are taking the place of the older men and women. The younger people ARE AT TRACTED TO THE STORES THAT PREPARE THEIR AD VERTISEMENTS IN AN AT TRACTIVE, NEWS WAY, AND THEY DO THE BUSINESS. People used to ride behind a good team of horses and en joyed it. Today they ride in automobiles. They don't want to ride behind horses if they can help it. So it is with advertising. THERE IS NO WISDOM IN STICKING TO CUSTOM. It is a firm's duty to the public to give the public what it wants. Why continue cataloguing when people want a description of a new hat, or a new gown, or a new suit ,or a new style of hose Advertising is NEWS and SHOULD BE CAREFULLY PREPARED. It will be read if it is news. If it is a mere cat alogue except in very rare in stances IT WON'T BRING AS GREAT RESULTS. i (To bs continued.)

The attorney general cane to Galena unexpectedly. The jointists went to cover rvfter Mr. Burr's appointment and lost no time in moving their fix tures and stocks out of the city. What Mr. Dawson learned about the joints last night was due to hi"- own activity. Between 3 and 11:30 o'clock he watched the main street. He found only a few joints in operation. Mr. Dawson said the greatest complaint is not so much because the law is being violated, but because of the low char acter of the joints and the street nuisances from the frequenters.

Wall street has grown so accustomed to expecting the Santa Fe to enter the market for funds every spring that the failure of the company to do its annual financ ing this year has aroused comment as to the possibilities of financing in the near future. Officially the company has no plans for financing this sum mer, but what may be done in the fall depends to a certain extent upon how the road finds general business conditions. If the directors think that expenditures on a large scale would be warranted, then there is little doubt but that Santa Fe will go into the market for money and continue to improve and extend its facilities on as liberal a scale as heretofore. In the year ended June 30, 1910, Santa Fe spent about $30,000,000 for improvements on existing lines and for the acquisition of new lines. For the year just ended about $31,000,000 was so expended. This outlay was provided for by the proceeds of the convertible bond issue of last spring, when $43,686,000 4's were offered to stockholders. The last installment on this issue, which brought in about $14,000,000 in cash was paid about the first part of June. On the basis of the expenditures and the receipts from bond sales, Santa Fe has a bal ance of about $12,000,000 to carry over the fiscal year just beginning to apply to improvement work during the summer. At the end of the fiscal year 1910, the company had about $18,000,000 working capital. At present, construction work un der way is not being rushed. The cut-off from Texico, N. M., to Cole man, Texas, which connects the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe with the East ern railway of New Mexico, is about completed and the branch from Lo meta to Eden will soon be finished. The former covers about 300 miles and the latter, 98 miles. This mileage is unmortgaged. The Texico-Coleman line is subject to the conditions of the Transcontinental Short Line bonds, of which $17,000, 000 were sold in 1908. The terms pro vide that the extent to which the new line shall be mortgaged shall not be more than $25,000 per mile. There are $13,000,000 of these bonds auth orized but not issued. The Lometa Elden branch comes under the opera tions of the Gulf. Colorado Santa Fe which, although a part of the Santa Fe system, is a separate company or ganized under the laws of Texas. Bonds on that mileage would neces sarily be issued by that company. The Santa Fe closed the tiscal year with $168,430,500 common stock out standing, an increase over a year ago of $2,912,000. The difference in che amount outstanding represents the amount of bonds converted during the year. Of the total conversion, a great majoritv took place within the last six weeks. Of the convertible issues of 1905, 1906, 1909 and the issue of 5 per cent bonds in 1907, there are $37,550,000 out. With the $43,616, 000 convertible 4's issued in 1910 which are not convertible until 1913, Santa Fe has $81,236,000 outstanding at present. The Santa Fe could finance in three ways. Another issue or convertiDies could be made; the $13,000,000 Trans continental Short Line bonda could be sold, or stock might be offered. It has been declared in unofficial quar ters that this last method is the am bition of the Santa Fe management. Interests in the company say, how ever, that tne question nas noi Deen formally discussed. Whether the company prefers Co enlarge its list of creditors with a bond issue or whether it wishes to acquire more partners by increasing its capital stock may De largely deter mined by market conditions. A hun gry bond market, or a booming mar ket for stocks might determine the final plan. The $13,000,000 Trans continental Short Line bonds alone are scarcely enough to continue im provements on the scale that has pre vailed for a number of years. When last In New York, President Rinlev said that Santa Fe had no plans for immediate financing and de clared that predictions as to railroad financing were difficult. Railroads, he remarked always need money. It is hard to believe that the Santa Fe In view of its record of liberal im provement and extension work of the past few years will rest satisfied with the present facilities of the system. GOOD M. P. LINE IX SIGHT. Leavenworth-Omaha Line Will Be One of the Best. Leavenworth, Kan., July 10. "Without any noticeable egotism, local agents and employees of the Missouri Pacific railroad predict th-at within another six months one of the finest stretches of steel rails will extend from Leavenworth through to Omaha. Already the section gangs have been doubled, while three construction gangs of 40 men each are engaged In lay ing the huge 85 pound rails between Atch ison and Omaha now. ihe improvement means that schedules from Leavenworth) to Atchison, St. Joseph and Omaha will be considerably reduced, inasmuuh as the heavier rails and better roadbed will permit of faster run ning. Already the big section gangs are working overtime between Leavenworth and Atchison and from Atchison to St. Joseph, while the placing of rails between St. Joseph and Atchison and Atchison and Omaha is progressing rapidly. The heaviest rails now In use which have proven satisfactiry are the 90 pound variety, but the ?5 pounders are said to be even more efficient for actual time making and safety on railroads. It was not until after the Missouri Pacific tested everv size rail that the S5 pounders were chosen for the local line, which should be suffiient to warrant more than ordi nary train service. HCTCIIIXSOX WANTS FRISCO. be inaugurated to the Missouri "jack" town. Hutchinson has a better chance now of getting the Frisco into town than In years. Tjere is a closer relationship between the Santa Fe and Frisco now, in a traffic way, than has existed any time since the two were operated as one system. It Is believed that the Frisco can be prevailed upon now to operate trains into Hutchinson, and that a traffic arrange ment can be made with the Santa Fe by which the Frisco can operate its trains In from Burrton over the Santa Fe tracks. RIGID ECONOMY IS NEEDED. Great Western Engineer Makes Plea for Greater Efficiency. Chicago, July 10. That almost any railroad in the country with a mileage ranging between 3.000 and 5,000 miles can establish an efficiency bureau that will save at least three times the cost of its upkeep is the contention made by L. C. Fritch, chief engineer of the Chicago-Great Western Railroad com pany. "One of the greatest needs in railway operation today," said Mr. Fritch, "is the establishment i a bu reau or department which shall spe cialize in this line of work and shall be charged with the responsible duties of enforcing strict economy in the out lay of time and money, and scrutiniz ing all expenditures to determine if the highest and best use is made in the disbursement of labor and material en tering into its operation. The time has now come when rigid economy and greater efficiency must be enforced or the balance between the gross earn ings and the expenditures will become narrower and narrower." Mr. Fritch, who formerly was con nected with the engineering depart ment of the Illinois Central railroad and prepared a report for that com pany relative to the electrification of its Chicago terminal, refers without mentioning names to the Illinois Cen tral car repair frauds. The heavy ioss incurred, he says, might have been avoided "if there had been the proper machinery for the inspection and re view of the operations or this particu lar road."

Sturgiss Inger sol of Philadelphia, son of President Ingersol of the Midland Valley railway system, has been at work for the past 30 days at the material yards near this city, getting first knowledge as to the initial points of railroad building. He has been out in the sun these hot days garbed in working clothes with the other men. Dur ing the past few days he has been out with the track gang, and it is said that for a young man he is a frst rate hand. Ingersol is only 18 years of age, and the work and hot sun of the past month has been about all he could stand. This morning in company with General Superintendent Harris and son Vincent and Ellsworth V. Holden of Kansas City, Mr. Ingersol, jr., left for Muskogee in the superintendent's special car, "Osage." The past 30 days have furnished a strenu ous vacation for the promising young man, and he will return to Philadelphia in a few days with sufficient tan on his face for evidence that he has been doing some real outdoor work.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S O A S T O R 1 A Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Great Bend, Kan., July 10. When "Uncle Jimmie" Cox, a little weazened Irishman, who lived up in the Galitia neighborhood in the northwest part of the county, came to Great Bend the other day and purchased a ticket for a little town in Ohio, Barton county lost one of its quaintest characters. For 35 years he had lived by himself on the claim" he homesteaded in 187ti. In all that time he never took a meal off his farm and the inside of his house was never seen by more than one man. The house stood desolate, without a tree, or shrub o any sort around it and the door was always locked. Visi tors always met "Jimmie" in the yard, and, though Jimmie was garrulous ami liked company outside his house, ha never invited anybody inside. Although he raised fairly good crops it was always somewhat of a mystery as to how he got them planted or tend ed. It was seldom that any of hi3 neighbors saw him in the field. When anybody called Jimmie would walk out of the back door of his house (the only one he ever used) lock it care fully behind him and meet the visitor in the yard. Here he was extremely jolly and talkative and would frequent ly urge the guest to "stay and talk awhile longer." But the house remain ed closed against all comers. One Man Enters House. Only one man living in this country is known to have entered the place J. M. Colver, formerly employed in the office of the register of deeds, who went to the place on legal business. Ac cording to his report "Jimmie" refused to light a lamp in the house, but as some papers had to be examined he finally consented to open the back door a crack, standing guard while the ex amination was made. The house itself was as staunch as a fort, built of stone, one story high, with windows and doors boarded up. The stone walls are fully two feet thick, with an inside frame of inch planking. No light was ever seea within. "Uncle Jimmie" came to America from Ireland when he was 12 years old, in 1876 he came to Barton county and took up a homestead and timber claim. He proved up on both of these and owned them until last w-eek. He had many friends throughout the neigh borhood, and his life as a recluse did not make him a silent or reserved man. He informed some of his friends that "during all the hard and dry tlmea there never was a time I didn't have at laste sivin hundred dollars in the house an' sometimes more. He says he has more money now than he can use during the balance of his life, so has decided to retire. He has sold his farm to Peter Brock of Olmitz, another early settler in this county, for $18,000. skeIscoming home.

THE TOPEKA EDISON CO. Both Phones 369734 Kan. Ave. Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough, Will Iilve In Washington. Washington, July 10. Sale of the old Quay home in K street to the Vanderbilt family means that Con suelo, Duchess of Marlborough, is coming to this city to live. Tired of the snubs and affronts which she has experienced in England since her separation from her husband, the duchess will live for a time at least in this country. She has elected to dwell among the cosmopolitan smart set of Washington rather than in the neutral-toned atmosphere of New York, in which she was born and reared as a Vanderbilt. The Quay home, as it stands, will not house the duchess. A new resi dence, handsome and modern, will be built on the site. A commission al ready has been given to a New York firm of architects. The entire lot, 125 by 200 feet, will be covered. If not as large as the tremendous Blenheim castle, the country seat of the Marl boroughs, in England, it will afford nlentv of room for the duchess and her servants, many as these will be. The duchess will have as her neigh bors some of Washington's most dis tinguished citizens. Admiral Dewey is just across the street, and Secretary Knox and ex-Senator Hale, senator Wetmore's residence flanks the Quay house on one side and Senator El- kins's on the other. The duchess and Miss Katherine Elkins have been ac quaintances several years. The Duchess or Marioorouen is not the first American woman to make her home in Washington after marriage to a nobleman had turnen unnappny. Many years ago Betsy Patterson, the American bride of Jerome Bonaparte, who went back to Europe and repudi ated her, dwelt here for a time. Not long ago it was announced that Mrs. Alice Thaw, who divorced the Earl of Yarmouth, would come to live in this city. MARSHALL'S TONIGHT.

IXLL LEASED WIRE REPORT OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The State Journal is a member ot the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that gTeat news or ganisation for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received In The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the Stato Journal tnay from home during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly rac'h day to any address at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents a month (by mull only). Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save hookkeepine expenses. Emphatic insistence was made on Saturday afternoon by the local weather sharps that no rain was in Bight. And then, the rain came. Praise the Lord. Divorce courts in New York city have n busy time ahead of them. No less than 6,000 couples were married in that town during the month of June. It's the dictum of the supreme court of Kansas that bloodhounds can give good evidence. Granted. But most ot them are too all-fired lazy and worthless to make the effort to gath er it. Experts in the premises have it figured out that the world's cotton supply for 1911 will show a material decrease over what it was last year. Look out for an Increase in the price of those "all-wool" garments. Against the statements that interest In church work is dying out among the young people as well as the older ones may be set the fact that since July, 1909, no less than one million new members have been added to the rolls of the Christian Endeavor so cieties in the United States alone. Railroads east of the Mississippi are preparing to handle 500,000,000 passengers during the remaining months of summer travw. And con sidering the large number of the ninety-odd millions of people In the United States who seldom tavel away from home, it is apparent that the folk who do travel are goimr to maki numerous trips. And now the federal government has Bone after the anthracite coal trust. There are said to be in the nelghorhood of one thousand trusts in the United States, which are more or less monopo listic in their tendencies. The indica tions are that President Taft and At torney General Wickersham will take a fall out of all of them if they are given sufficient time. Nor W33 it necessary for Dr. Crum bine to go to the trouble of announc ing that he was not responsible for the order prohibiting grocers and un registered pharmacists from selling fly poisons. Surely no one In Kansas would ever suspect that Dr. Crumbine would take any step that would give a single fly a chance to escape a pre mature grave. Justice is not often tempered with mercy in Chicago. An Instance of this fact happened the other day when a judge fined a man $200 and sent him to jail for IS months for Btealing an electric fan. It would teem to be pardonable t steal an electric ran or any other kind of a cooling device with the thermometer above the 100 mark. General Bixby, chief of engineers, U. B. A., is of the opinion that the old bat tleship Maine was blown up from an inside explosion. Other engineers, more likely those connected with the navy, will probably express an opposite opin ion. And then a controversy will be on that will make the one that was en gendered by the activities of Dr. Cook and Peary in North Polar regions seem tame in comparison. A lively fight is expected in the con vention of the National Educational association which is staged this year at San Francisco. To provide the opportunity for a goon free-for-all fight seems to be one of the purposes cf nearly all of the many conventions that are held these days. Even the delegates to peace conferences show a predilection to engage in a mix-up on the slightest provocation. t j How times have changed! Prohib itory crusaders who tiaveled from Tcneka and other place3 to Cherokee and Crawford counties T, lend a lit tle strength to the arm oC the law are much vexed because Governor Etubba baa turned down omo of their bills for pay. In days of old, when knights were bold, they indulged in their crusades for the glory and tne honor that could get out oC their ac tivities., About the largest and only other rewards they ever received was a bow of ribbon or a lock of hair from some fair damsel. Pie on the mercenariness of these Twentieth Century bravados. LIGHT THE DOME. Why the delay In equipping the dome of the state house with a system of electric lighting that will turn it into a wondrous beacon at night? An appro priation was made by the last legis lature which permitted the state's ex ecutive council to install these lights. The council is favorable to the proposi tion, Governor Stubbs being particu larly enthusiastic over It. Tentative plans have also been worked out. These comprise the studding of the ribs on the dome with large incandescents. and crowning the top of the dome with a cluster of arc lights. Committees of the Topeka Commer cial club have called on the executive council to ascertain the reason for the delay in getting these lights in place. And they have been told that the mat ter is now in the hands of the state architect. Nothing further can be done until this official has worked out the details of the system and whipped them into such shape that bids for the actual work can be asked. A little more speed in the premises would be desirable, Mr. State Architect, and it will be sure to enhance among To pekans your already excellent reputa tion for being an efficient public ser vant. It Is especially urgent that the ap paratus and appliances needed to light the dome be put in their places during the next few weeks. The week of September 10-16 Is going to be a big one in Topeka, the biggest that the capital city of Kansas has ever known. It is the week of the largest and most comprehensive agricultural exposition that Kansas has ever seen. During the same week there is to be a large and significant celebration of the semi-centennial anniversary of the admission of Kansas to statehood. It is also going to be a Topeka "home coming week." Topeka's great white way system on Kansas avenue is going to be in work ing order by that time. The town will be profusely decorated. A night parade of floats, comprising several from oth er cities in Kansas, is to be one of the interesting features of the semi-centennial celebration. Big crowds from all over the state are going to be pres ent. Surely the state house dome should blaze forth a brilliant welcome and particularly, inasmuch as the money has already been provided to light the dome, the people of the state through their legislature having or dered the work done. THE GOSPEL OF PAIV. Men are beginning to see the value of living in the moment, writes a con tributor to Harper's Weekly. Instead of bemoaning the evil of mutability and hoping for some future heaven they rather realize that there is a way, if we have but energy and will, of trans forming the moment until it shall be beautiful in itself. If pain i3 unavoid able, then indeed it Is the part of wis dom to turn endurance of it into cour age, restraint, cheerfulness. But the task of life today is to clear av. iy pain and the sources of pain. To find out where and how we have maic the mis takes that make life a matter for en durance. This need not mean that there is to be no discipline and no re straint, but it may grow to mean that men will invite their own disCMjllre and make their own voluntary renuncia tions gladly because of the good that results. To seek to minimize and to destroy the sources of sorrow in life, whether these be poverty or evil living, ignor ance or dishonesty or selfishness, en larges a man's nature and relctes him to the world in which he lives, and the very effort in itself and its enlarg ing effects are forms of happiness. It increases the world's joy for the man who makes the effort no le53 than for all those who come in contact with him. ET TV, BRUTE. An esteemed contempora'-y of ultra- Republican insurgent tendencies ana which usually has nothing but words of admiration and praise for any old sort of a Republican insurgent, espec ially when the chief editorial writer is on the job, discussed chautauquas the other day in an illuminating fashion. Admitting that the Chautauqua is a useful and a valuable institution, the editorial in Question also hac4 this to say: "Chautauqua orators who probably couldn't earn over forty dollars a month at any real work, will go wanging around over the country taking in from fifty to two hundred dollars per wang, depending more on their notoriety than on the meat that may be in what they have to say. Right here some reader may ask what is the meaning of war.g and because the weather is too hot to hunt in the dictionary, we will say that wang, according to Webster, means jaw bone. The man who gets in right as a Chautauqua lecturer has the softest snap this side of the heavenly land. Having strung together an hour or two of platitudes he gets soon to the place where he can stand on the platform start his jaw and let it run for the appointed time without mental effort. His pay does not de.son-i entirely on !i's ability as a;: tmiiftet A modest Demosthenes might find it hard to get a Chautauqua engagement but the sul tan of Sulu, if he could be induced to leave his harem and his larae aggre gate if not interesting mother-1 n-law. would be cheap at 200 per number. A man with a hat full of brams and a real message finds it difficult to get a hearing at any price, but a reformed South sea Islander who had in the days of his heathen blindness regaled him self on missionary pot roast would be cheap at almost any price." These sentiments certainly hit one of the chautauqua nails on liie lead. But how will they set with IaFollette, Bristow, Murdock and other Republi can insurgents who are veritable kings In the Chautauqua arena, coming as they do from such an erstwhile friend ly source? Incidentally, it might be well men tioned in this connection thai "Uncle Joe" Cannon and various other gentle men of more or less distinction srJ notoriety who are labeled In insurgent quarters as being everything that real Republicans should not be, have dis dainfully cast aside lucrative offer3 to make their bows to Chautauqua, audi ences. Among other things, presumably, they do not care to be classed with the chautauqua "freaks."' When it comes to books, the most serviceable Is surely the check book. Charity's cloak that covereth up so much is often sorely In need of ex tensive repairs. m Apparently, some people's only forte Is to contradict every statement made by their friends and acquaint ances. Many Individuals are easily pleased but on the other hand it's Impossible to please many others at all. It's all right to be kind to dumb beasts but that's no excuse for some folk to treat them better than they do humans. JAYHAWKER JOTS Mr. Clarence Lawrence, of Pratt, has a name, at least, that rhymes. And that is something of a distinction. The new eighty-foot steel bridge across Mission creek at Dover is down. Needless to state it was not washed out by a flood. It merely collapsed. A pertinent query from Editor Lyons of the Sterling Bulletin: Is the absence or fish Etories a sign that the world is growing better or the fish smaller? "Do you notice," asks the Soldier Clipper, "that the buffalo burr and thistle Insist on growing, dry or no dry?" Contrary old things that they are. Oh, my, exclaims the Rossville Re porter. Here it is almost school time again and not a garment yet made. Still mother will have all the little ones properly clad on time. Helpful hint to houswives, in the Rossville Reporter: All that will be necessary, if this weather continues much longer, to have plenty of pre serves is to add the sugar and the sun will do the rest. How would you like to sook your teeth into a nice plump roastin ear' asks the editor of the Rossville Repor ter. For himself he answers: Golly, I can feel the grease running down my chin just to think of it. A report In a recent issue of the Minneapolis Better Way was to the effect that there were seven deaths from the heat in that town on Sunday a week ago. But the report was par ticular to add that the victims were setting hens. The Advocate of Columbus, Cherokse county, where strenuous efforts are be ing made by the state authorities to enforce the prohibitory law, announced in conspicuous fashion on the front page of its last issue that Columbus has a good water supply. That makes it nice. According to the Stafford Courier, Mr. H. B. Minks of Eureka met with a painful accident last week when he was "struck In face by a horse." He got out of it wath a badly cut lip. In other words, Mr. Minks must have a pretty large and tough face or else the horse was a little one of the toy variety. Some excellent advice from the Home Circle Editor of the Havensville Review: When tempted to criticise the food on the home table, remember the adage that silence is golden. Criti cism is never so exasperating to the housekeeper as at the table, where, In spite of hard work and worry, things win occasionally appear that are not as she planned. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A good fellow may entertain you: but he won't help you. Grief of a drunken man isn't par ticularly sad, but it is wonderfully wet and mussy. Most people have observed how prices are cut shortly after they have made their purchase. Cheer up. It will soon be time for the September magazines and the first touch of autumn. No woman should work herself to death because she thinks she looks well in a martyr's gown. While the Edward Payson Weston idea is all right, we contend the somnambulist carries it too far. At some time in his life, nearly everyone is bored enough to tempt him to go Into the hermit business. No wonder the male bird sings a good deal, being better dressed than his wife, and with less work to do. A man can know a gor.d deal about higher mathematics without using that knowledge to figure up his wages. Doubtless your bull-headed enemy would be a firm, strong-willed, mas terful man if the fates had cast him as your friend. Time doesn't fly so rast as one might imagine to the one who sees the fall styles coming In before the spring stuff is paid for. If one could get the vote of those who feel worse the day after a holi day than they did the day before, he probably could be elected. A tendency to continually abuse someone you don't like isn' exactly a hobby; it's a mental tendency to dump your slop in the street. A high board fence is about the only sign which will successfully keep people off the grass; ssv.ming, of course, that there still is grass. Any employee, well posted on local conditions, is or can be a valuable man for his employer. But remem ber there is a lot in "or can be." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. A very few men make money; the rest have to earn it. Maybe there is nothing but weather talk in the place that isn't heaven A man can make himself much bet ter looking to a woman by her mar rying him. A girl has the neatest way of let ting a rr.an make her understand ques tions at. which she could lose him. The average man would want to be president of a railroad before he could tell an airbrake from a locomotive. I JOURNAL ENTRIES KANSAS COMMENT TAFT EN' KANSAS. There Is little or no opposition to the renomination of Taft among Kan sas Republicans. The declaration of Senator Bristow that he favored the nomination of Senator La Follette did not start a ripple of approval and was generally set down as a mere expres sion of pique on the part of our junior senator. The leading "insurg ent" newspapers have taken the op portunity to declare themselves for Taft and the "regulars" were already for the president, so the situation was actually cleared. Factional politics has been played hard in Kansas but I there is a general disposition among the Republicans to lay aside their differences, at least as to the presi dency. There has been considerable opposition to Canadian reciprocity in this state, because of a fear that it would lower the price of Kansas wheat, but the honesty and good in tention of President Taft are never questioned and the opponents of reciprocity admire his courage and fighting qualities. The record made by the Taft ad ministration will be the platform on which the Republicans of Kansas can make a winning fight. Sometimes he nas Deen misunderstood ana some times he has been misrepresented. but he is now regarded as a states man who stands for right, regardless of faction or personal advantage. The people trust Taft more than they do the political parties, and they think he is sincere and fair. The bravery he has displayed under the fire of an unfriendly press on some matters and the equal bravery he has shown in standing for what he thinks Is right when it seems to help his political enemies, are the basis for the pres ent strength and popularity of the president In Kansas. Hutchinson News. EDITORIAL. It is too ding-basted hot to write editorials this week. Tuesday was the Fourth of July and our team got licked in the ball game. Life is dismal and no rain in sight. Still we expect to press on and nev er say fail. Our Woman will furnish the edi torial dope this week. She's a democrat, too. But that doesn't make any differ ence. If she likes the job she can have It through the hot weather. There is not so much difference be tween democrats and republicans in Kansas any more, any way. Except we republicans have the of fices. Keep that in mind when you say you cannot tell the two parties apart, wa republicans have the offices. Which is as a shady tree in a de sert, and a cooling spring in the midst of a dry and sandy land We have the offices. Democrat papers please copy. E. E. Kelley in his Toronto Republican. FROM OTHER PENS THE SUMMER DEATH TOLL. In a few weeks statistics collectors will be announcing the summer's sac rifices to the water god. Hundreds of lives will doubtless have been wasted. through the appalling igiiorance of the average person of the swimming art. Little children and grown men and women alike will have been destroyed because they have never learned how to maintain themselves in the water, or, perhaps, because they have intrust ed their lives to reckless people, over confident of their own ability. These annual losses of life will pre sumably some day force the adoption of means of education in self-preservation. The child Is taught what not to eat and how otherwise to keep well. It is constantly examired for signs of disease and is denied admission to school if there is the le.-.st danger of infection. Yet no lessons are given in swimming, and the average youngster is turned out of the public halls of learning absolutely helpless, so far as the state Is concerned, whenever in the water. A few cities have undertaken to give public swimming lessons, but none has made them compulsory. The child is trained in physics and knows nothing of floating. A profound knowledge of the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers of! the earth is imparted in class, while valuable time is wasted that might be devoted to fitting the youngster in their use and safe enjoyment. Wash ington Star. SHIRTS WITHOUT CUFFS. An appeal now almost bocoming a demand goes up from the thousands of shirt-wearers of this broad land: "Give us shirts without cuff3'." From a small beginning with a disgruntled mechanic, the hue and cry has become of such volume as to threaten to reach the ears of the manufacturers of this necessary article. And why? Simply this: The shirt with cuffs at tached is the boon of the laundryman. For him it is the most profitable in vention of the decade, for it is almost impossible for the average man to wear this sort of shirt for more than two days without gettlrg the cuffs soiled. Without cuffs. It might last three or four days, if necessity obliged him to be very economical. This type of shirt has not been in existence for long, and many wish it would go out of existence right now. However, there are many things about the shirt-and-cuffs-attaohed which make it necessary that it should still be manufactured, so that the plea for shirts-with-no-cuffs-attached is made not for the total abolition of the for mer kind, but for the more liberal manufacturer of the latter variety. Manchester Union. SAUCING POLICEMEN. The other day a man was arrested and fined for using disrespectful lan guage to a policeman, thereby inter fering with him in the discharge of his duty. It is strange that there should be men who think they can do that with impunity. One may b guilty of bigamy, or run a trust, or be a steady grafter, and yet escape punishment, but the consequences of reviling a po liceman are inevitable. So, when there are so many crimes to pick from, no intelligent man should select this. A policeman on his beat is greater than a major general or than a team ster in his pride of place. If the presi dent of the United States should be ordered by a policeman to "move on." it would be his duty to obey, saying, perhaps, as he moved on, "excuse me. jomcer. xuai uemg tins nuw im proper it is ror a commonplace, medi ocre citizen who does not relish some reply an officer has made, or some order he has given, to call him a fool, or words to that effect.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Madeline Fayles, A girl about seven or eight. Had cherished the habit of biting her nails. And practiced it early and late. From such an absurd and ridiculous trick It was not a long time before Each delicate finger-tip down to the quick Was painfully tender and sore. Elizabeth's father declared 'twas a sin Such beautiful fingers to spoil; And big brother said, with a comical grin. "Let's smear them with capsicum oil." So capsicum aloes, and pitch were ap plied. And vile things too many to name; But Mary Elizabeth silently cried And nibbled her nails just the same. Then Mrs. Fayles said, with delight in her voice, "I've thought of a cure, sure as fate!" She tried it at once and had cause to rejoice; The nail-biting ceased from that date. What potent device did this fond mother use In curing the trick of her pet? 'Twas simply an artifice, stratagem, ruse She bought her a manicure set. New York Times. THE EVENING STORY The Vagabond. (By Philip Kean.) Balfour had intended to propose be fore the day's trip was over; but his car stopped in the middle of a dusty road. When he had tinkered for a half hour, and had brought no results, he said to the lady of his heart: I am afraid I cannot do anything. Will you walk to town with me, or stay here alone?" It looks so hot, Louise responded, lazily, "and I am not afraid. You had better leave me here while you go and hunt someone." "Well, at least, I'll move the car where the shade will make it cooler." said Balfour. "Surely nothing can hap pen to you while I am gone. "Of course not," Louise answered. She did not feel so secure, however, when her escort disappeared over the brim of the hill. Leaning back against her comfortable cushions, she pondered over the situation. It might be an hour, two hours, before Balfour came back. She was tired and hungry. In a hamper strapped to the side of the car there was food. She was not sure, however, that she should open it before Balfour came back. Suddenly she opened her eyes as a voice near her said, "Can I be of ser vice?" A tall, thin man in shabby clothes stood close to the car. His hat was off, and showed his hair curling close about his white forehead. "No," Louise said coldly, "there is nothing you can do. Mr. Balfour has gone to town for assistance. I expect him back at any moment." He was not rebuffed, however, by her declination of his offer. "I know something of motors," he said. "Per haps I might help out." He made an examination deftly, and found and repaired the trouble. "If you will let me, I will drive you to town," he said. "Oh, no," Louise said, "I had better wait." The vagabond looked up at the sky. "It's going to rain." In the west the clouds were black. "At least, you will let me get you to shelter." Louise looked at him steadily. "Where would you take me?" she asked. "You need not be afraid," he said. "If you please," then she consented, "you may drive me." Before they had gone a half mile the rain was upon them, lashing in at all sides. "There's an old barn at the end of this lane," the Vagabond said. "I passed it this morning, We might make a run for it." As they gained the shelter the storm burst in all its fury. "Well," said Louise, resignedly, "I don't know whether anybody will ever find us or not. Do you think you could make a run for It and get the hamper? We could have our lunch." He brought the big basket back and they sat in the open door and ate of the good things. Louise noticed that her companion had the manners of a gentleman. Her curiosity getting the better of her she asked, "How does it happen that you are here?" "I like it," he said. Then he leaned toward her and sang to an air of Schubert's: "Give to me the life I love, Let the lave go by me. Give the jolly heaven above And the by-way nigh me. "Bed in the bush with stars to see Bread I dip In the river There is the life for a man like me, There the life forever." "You have not always lived like this?" she said. "No; back in my boyhood there were school, and college, and some years cf study for a profession. But I couldn't stand it I am a rover by nature." He spoke of his travels after that. and she listened, fascinated. Balfour had never charmed her thus.He talked of himself, while this man talked of places, of theories. When the storm had passed, they met Balfour struggling back over a muddy road. He eyed the Vagabond with suspicion, and glared at Louise, when at parting she asked her road side acquaintance to come and see her. "He's a tramp," said Balfour stern ly. "He isn't," said Louise. She was sure that he had been mas querading when he called upon her several days later, immaculately ar rayed in evening clothes. When, how ever, she accused him, he shook his head. "Now and then I take to the road." he said. "I was not made to stay in one place." He came often, and as the months went on Louise found herself torn by conflicting emotions. Balfour had of fered her his hand and fortune. Louise liked him. The Vagabond, on the oth er hand, offered her nothing but his heart. "I should not have offered you that," he said, "except that I cannot see you unhappy as the wife of Balfour. I can not promise anything for myself. I am a rover by nature; but you shall not suffer for comforts, and I shall love you until my dying day." When Louise finally sent Balfour away and said "yes" to the Vagabond, she had many doubts and misgivings. "But I love him," her heart whispered. As she planned her simple trous seau, she thought regretfully of the gowns she would have worn as Bal four's wife. Her girl friends teased her about her future. "You'll never stand it," they said. Balfour said things, too, when he met her one day. "You don't know what you are doing, Louise," he told her. It seemed to Louise that every doubt of her own was emphasized by the misgivings of her friends, and, at last, in desperation, she went to her lov r. "I don't believe t shall be happy with you." Ho let her go without a protest, but, the look in his eyes haunted her for many days. She threw herself Into all sorts of excitement. Balfour wooed her, but she would not listen. Thus a year passed, and again, one summer's morning, Balfour took the woman he loved for a ride. This time, however, he did not leave his wooing until the end of the day. Louise, somewhat lonely, bored with the life that she had lived of late, was in a receptive mood. "If I only loved you a little." she said. "I should say 'yes.' "You will love me after you marry me," Balfour asserted. Louise wondered if she would In her moment of indecision her eyes searched the country, as if to seek some means of escape from a future which she dreaded. Far up on the hillside a dogwood flung its white branches against a sapphire sky. Un der the trees sat a man, tall and thin and in shabby clothes. Louise's heart leaped. "Let me out," she said to Balfour. But Balfour'e eyes had seen his riv al. "Do you mean," he asked sternly, "that you have not recovered from that infatuation? I won't let you out, Louise, if I do you will go to unhap piness." In days of old men carried off their sweethearts on prancing steeds. Bal four, more modern, played young Lochinvar In an automobile. In spite of her protests, Louise was conveyed away from the spot where she had seen the tall man under the dogwood tree. When they reached home, how ever, Balfour was not prepared for her scorn. "Do you think you can stop me from seeing him?" Louise demanded. "I shall find him if I have to follow him to the ends of the earth." And she did find him a day or two later. It was a very humble Louise who came to him. "You ought to hate me," she said, "but I hope you still love me a little." The light that leaped Into his eyes showed how much he cared. "Oh foolish Louise," he said, "not to stand the test." She looked at him in surprise. "What test?" she demanded. "I wanted to be sure you cared for me, not for my possessions, and now I know." With more land than Balfour, more money than any of her other suitors, he had chosen not to tell her, because he wanted the treasure of her dis interested affection. And when she came back to him, he knew that he had It. "You are more mine than ever be fore," was his triumphant assertion. (Copyrighted 1911 by the Associated Literary press.) American Humor We are sensible, or we seem to be sensible, of a lull in American humor. if we may so phrase it, In which we may fitly look about us, and challenge the elements as to thcit intentions concerning it. Sometimes, we will confess, we have been afiaid that Am erican humor had possibly overdone Itself. There was a moment, baleful or hopeful as the reader may decide, when, just before the lapse of faith, it appeared as if we almost expected to be saved by humor. That may have been an illusion, but it was strong en ough to prompt the most serious in quiry into the nature of humor and its place in the spiritual order of things. Clearly, one could not conceive of an angel Joking, and propt-rly speaking, could there be any such thing as jok ing in heaven? By that time hell was about being disposed of by popular vote, or by a consensus of newspapers, rather, and it was only of heaven that one could think In the connection. Was there not somethirg essentially cruel in humor? Did not it, in its last analysis, reBt upon the derision of some human infirmity, or deformity, or imbecility, and could such things be matter of mirth with the heavenly host or any of it? The arch-fiend, before he was blotted out with h,i followers by the newspapers and the newer cri ticism, might have subtly or coarsely found those obliquities funny; Satan might, Beelzebub might, Mammon himself might; but could Michael, or Gabriel, or Ithuriel, before they too paled in the blaze of journalistic inves tigation? In the general substitution of humor for faith as a saving agency, one had to ask one's self these pierc ing questions. Their consideration brought to light several facts concerning the nature of humor which one had to subject to the severest scrutiny. At first it appeared as If the broader humor was" the kind lier, was, in fact, not atsll cruel, since it involved its object in a sort of con fession of the general humjxn weakness and pitied while it laughed, and in vited its object to laugh with it. But this inference scarcely bon examina tion. There is nothing crueler than the fun of barbarians or of boys, and in emergency from barbarism and boy hood into civilization and maturity, humor kept too much of both. The joking In Rabelais is not only filthy, it is atrocious; and when yo-a come to the humaner humor of Cervantes, it Is still so abominably unfeeling that it is doubtful whether Don Quixote has not died the death because the fun of the book was mostly so brutal that man kind could no longer bear it, rather than because the books of chivalry which it burlesqued were no longer known to readers, and the burlesque was unintelligible. Much of the humor in Shakespeare is cruel, so cruel that Mark Twain used to say that when it did not bore him it offended him past endurance. Consider vhat an awful thing the mocking of Malvolio was, how heartless the jokes put upon Fal staff! The one great English humor ist who never had credit for the high moral quality of his humor was Swift, who really seldom hurt but to heal, but who got himself permanently Im agined a cynical savage by a humorist who ought to have been Kinder to nim and truer. He came nearer being the purely and entirely humorous humorist we are requiring from the future as a successor to Mark Twain, and he was the most eminent predecessor of Mark Twain in the conscienccd humor we must always associate with that great pseudonym. William Dtan Howells, in Harper's. POrXTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Two is a company unless they are husband and wife. But a golf player should know what he is driving at. A man may know his own mind and still not be very wise. The proper place for a flight of stairs Is the wing of a hotse. The stars wait until the night falls before they begin to shoot. Rolling stones, like some other smooth propositions, gather no moss. Good Judgment is of little value if it is not used at the psychological moment. Go to the busy bee, thou busybody, and learn this lesson: Don't butt in or you may get stung. It may be more blessed to give than to receive, yet some people who live up to that theory go into the hands of a receiver. Bertha Rapp, the Invincible girl wrestler and strong-arm. should bo able to make a fair living by renting her muscle to the various municipali ties as an abater of the masher nuis ance. The person desirous of believing what he sees In print can always find news to fit his beliefs. Just as a preacher can prove anything by the Bible. He may submit one paper to prove that Prohibition is Gaining Ground, and the Demon Rum is on his Last Legs, or he may grab up an other paper and prove by Government figures that the whisky sales of the past fiscal year show an Increase of eight million gallons over the previoua year. A SOLEMN PROMISE: Never again will this department hand the printer another package like that dash-dot thing in Saturday's Issue. The printer admits that we will not and get by with it. The "No-smoking" society recently organized In New York is headed by one Pease. Prunes is not mentioned in the dispatch, but the word should have been added as comment. Scipio should get out an Injunction against the city commissioners. With the town piped for fuel oil, Scipio would never get its name In the papers. A conservative optimist li one who says: "Never mind something will turn tip soon," and carefully neglects to add an opinion as to whether it will be a rain or the toes of a suffer ing populace. Another advantage connected with the Job of president is that the holder may locate his office m the same room with a ton of ice, and have some one else pay for the ice. It appears that Hon. Johnson Is pre paring to go out and collect his coro nation trip expenses from a few un fortunate second-raters. A little earning is a dangerous thing for the youth with a Santa Fe office Job and a booze receiver's appetite. Most people who ask for advice ara fishing tor sympathy. Why, for goodness sake, do the em ployment offices refer to them as "do mestics when a majority of them are imported? The last paragraph is usually hard est to write, on a warm day. But this is comparatively easy. HGP HUMOR OF THE DAY 'Why did Humpty Dumntv sit on th wall?" "He probably thoueht he could hold it down." Detroit Free Press.

Never size up a man from his ac tions when he knows he is being watched. There isn't anything much more humorous than a serious man trying to be funny. Did you ever notice that the man who lnsult3 you is always bigger than you are? "Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast," but not if it lives in the next apartment. It seems as though all that is neces sary to bring about a desired result is to pass a law prohibiting it. About the hardest thing a summer girl has to do is to look romantic when she is eating corn off the cob. "I should like to get att engagement with my circus of trained fleas," said the vaudevillian. "You'il have to try it on the dog first," replied the book ing manager, sardonically. "The greatest drawback to matri mony," says the Cynical Bachelor, "la that the more you kiss a woman be fore you marry her tho more you have to keep it up afterward." Mr. Gnaggs "Scientists claim that the human body changes in every par ticle every seven years." Mrs. Gnaggs "That may account for the fact that you are not the man you were when I married vou."

If Kan sas farmers would adoyt the methods preached by the experts of the fcitaie Agricultural college to change the state's average wheat yield from 13 'a bushels to the acre to 30 bushels, the annual yield would be 200 million bushels, "instead of 70 million. Worth thinking about, isn't it? And the yield this year, probably will be only about 60 million bushels. In a dozsn counties of the state, however, yields of fortv bushels of wheat an acre, or more, have been reported. What if that should become the average? The wheat special that the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific railway starts today for the Kansas State Agricul tural colelge for ten days will have lecturers to show how the risht kind of soil culture and the right kind of seed will increase the yield. One ex hibit car and four lecture cars, one for children, one for women and two for men. will be carried. It will be a wheat school on wheels. The exhibit car will open when the lectures have been finished. Business houses along j the line probably will close a few min utes before the train arrives. Tell Women of Bread. For the women, loaves of bread made from both pure and mixed wheats will be a feature. Every farm er's wife will be astonished to find how much the quality in wheat affects her home in more ways than one.

FAR1IE11 HELPS POOR Every Laborer Who Stays Fi?e Years Owns Home. Girls Not Afraid of It Do Housework. A certain country town Vm 1 km .n. illation. Is not the county seat, is more than 40 miles from the nearest citv, and depends almost entirely upon tr.e itcisuuuriiiB iarms tor its prospericy turner a w eemy. in appearance this town differs little from a thou sand others of its class, except that he three garages are a surprise, and the w ana nouses might be remember ed as neater and more trim than nrrii. nary. Ask a question and it leads you far. You notice, perhaps, that the press of the country newspaper is run by an electric motor. The power :ind light plant is the property of the town and pays a revenue of $500 a month into tne public treasury. The heating plant for downtown stores also is own ed by the people. It utilizes the waste steam from the power plant and cuts me merchants' fuel bills in half. A country physician's son, who :n this little town now is completing a nospnai ror general practice, has credit for the suggestion that the steam be connected with the water system, so that if the waterpipes ever become infected they mav be sterilized with, live steam. To this municipal light, water, and heating plant is at tached a private Ice rnctory which sells pure ice made from sterilized water at 43 cents a hundred pounds. A whole sale ice cream factory buying real country cream to sell again for M cents a gallon uses the cold salt water from the ica plant. Helpful co-operation is found In other fields. Uncle John Mowder, a farmer now comfortably rich and with spare time to improve his "form" in horseshoe quoits, uses his l'ttle fortune as a pri vate remedial locn fund for townspeo ple who long to own a home, and the woman who makes quilts for the coun tryside, the boy who runs the peanut stand, a clerk in a general store, and a tinner's helper are respected property owners. The town boasts that every laborer who has lived ip the place five years owns a home, and that TTncle John never has lost a dollar on many risky securities. Women's club meetings have time for Keats and Browning and the servant problem never needs to be discussed. In the neighborhood there are a num ber of the Amish sect whose daughters, as a matter of religious principle, will do the housework and mind the babv for ten cents an hour or $2 a week or less never more, and though their parents may own a $50,000 farm, these servants treat you as an equal. (Our own joke, uncopyrighted.) At one end of town is a public playground, which in winter is flooded for a skating rink. For a city man who remembers the county town as it used to be, a visit to such a community as this Is stimu lating education. The place, by the way, Is Sabetha, Kansas. WILL-HAVEAN EXHIBIT. Jieal Estate Men Will Bo Head at Ir rigation Exposition. Though definite plans have not been made as yet, the real estate men of Topeka expect to prepare an ex hibit for the United States land and irrigation exposition to be held in Chicago, November 18 to December 9. The exposition is held every year un der the auspices of the Chicago mer chants for the purpose of allowing unoccupied lands in the south and west to exhibit their resources to col onists. George Badders, secretary of the Commercial club,' has received word that the Rock Island Lines, through the permission allowed by the Inter state Commerce Commission, will carry the Topeka exhibit to Chicago without charge.

Justice Silas Porter lost his watch on the Country club golf links Satur day-. He found it on the course unharm ed the next day before he left for Eur ope. Possibly It waa because a circus was scheduled to spread its tents and pro bably it was because the motor league planned to go to Kansas City but it rained, anyway. George Badders, secretary of the Commercial club, and Arthur J. Car ruth, jr., of the State Journal, went to Kansas City this afternoon to witness the balloon races. Harry North, who next season will manage the Topeka show of the North Brothers' Stock company, writes that he is organizing a strong company to open at the Majestic theater Labor day. Carl Dienstbach of Berlin, Germany, spent Sunday with H. W. Jacobs and went to Kansas City to witness the start of the balloon race. He will re turn to Topeka as the guest of the Aero club. The water pressure has returned to normal and Commissioner Stotts haj ordered all of the park fountains turn ed on again. All day Sunday the foun tains spurted out sparkling water ar.d gave the thirsty birds the time of their lives. St. Louis and Kansas City newspa pers say that Topeka wasn't to be out done by other cities in attending the balloon races and people went to Kan sas City on railroads, freight and pas senger trains, in motor cars and in foot. The sleeping porch craze has been fo popular in Topeka this summer that several contractors have done nothing else but build sleeping porches on eld houses. One man said he had built -'4 this summer and had orders ahead for five more. Motor car thieves are worrying the owners of automobiles.

Did you notice the sweet odor that arose from the ground Sunday morn ing after the showers that visited To peka? It seemed that all Nature was waiting to open up and welcome the rain Fowers that have been wilty mid dormant, opened their petals and gave forth their fragrancy. There is no getting around the fat that the motor car dealers in Topeka are the liveliest bunch of men in the business. Whenever they hear of a man who is contemplating the pur chase of a car they camp on his trail with every machine made until he buys or flies from the country. The city license collector, G. T. Mat tinglv has discovered a new plan adopted bv some of he transfer and huckster men to swindle the city out a year's license fee. He recovered one man H. A. Howard, who took his last year's license tag which was red and painted it white to conform with the tag this year. All over the city during the recent dry spell the thoughtful people have been filling pans with water and plac ing them in the back yard that the birds might have a place to quench their thirst. This kind of weather has been hard on the fowls of the air. Many of them have died from the he;it and lack of moisture. In order to solve the window trouble on sleeping porches one West side man has planned windows on his sleeping porch that will slide down out of sient like the windows in street cars. Th4s plan is said will do away with the ef forts to keep the windows out of the way m the cool evenings when there are no signs of storms. Marshall's band will play at Chesn-y park tonight. The program shows an excellent selection of music. And now if Marshall's will only play "La l'a loma" again the park will be so crowd ed that the streets on all sides will nit blocked.

Following a federal investigation of the high cost of living and how it has increased in the last few years it seems that one dollar today was worth auo;:t two dollars a few years ago when it was stood up against food products.

K f, v i 5 J. n v1' J, 1 i ft 1 W. W Manspeaker, Who Died This Morninjr. He had been dangerously ill for 10 days and had been taken to the hospi tal last Wednesday.

At 9:40 an alarm came in ar.d in jumping from his bed to the brass pole leading to the room below he lost his foothold and tum bled down to the floor below. His two ankles and knee3 were badly wrenched and he is injured internally. He .was removed to St. Francis hospital where he is resting comfortably today. It is believed that the fall happene.l when the lieutenant was asleep. It is second nature for an old fireman to jump from his bed at the sounding of an alarm and leap for the brais slid ing pole that leads from the sleeping rooms to the floor below. Goodrich seemed dazed and more asleep tr.n awake after his fall and it is thought that he was not fully awuke when ho made the jump for the poie. The fire was burning a telegraph pole at Fifth and Holliday streets. DON'T DKIXK ICE WATER. Dr. Crunihlne Gives Out Hot Weather Hints. Dr. S. J. Crumbine of the state board of health has given out the fol lowing hints for the hot weather: "People should drink cool water. Ice water gives only temporary relief. Its reaction is detrimental. Investiga tion has shown that a very heavy per centage of the people overcome by heat are those who have been taking too many cold drinks, chief among which are ice water. They go out into the hot sun and the reaction often causes prostration or a collapse. "The frequent filling of the stomach with ice water upsets digestion. A blunted appetite is often the first symptom. The natural keen desire for food vanishes, and there seems to be only a desire for real cold water. A lost appetite under all normal condi tions is usually a good index of the condition of the stomach and light eat ing is a good thing. "I do not take any stock in the fads and ideas put forward by faddists about summer eating, that one should eat only fruits, or only vegetables, or that sort of thing. The best summer diet is a light mixed one. By that I mean a generous sprinkling of fruits and vegetables and a little meat. One will feel cooler for decreasing the total quantity of food eaten, because you take less fuel producing material, or heat into your body. "Sleep is an important factor. Peo ple are much disturbed by loss of sleep. Every opportunity of getting a proper amount of sleep should be courted and it will pay to make you--self comfortable so that you can get rest. Lack of sleep is a powerful fac tor in depressing vitality. "A cool sponge bath taken every day is one of the gest things to do, for heat is abstracted In that way. "One thing particularly I would like to impress upon people. They should by no means pay attention to fads of dress in the summer time. Following the ultra fashion plates in the summt r time ts a bad thing to do. One should dress according to temperature. The men of Kansas ought to dress in white rluck, as the men do in the tropics.

Th3 Kind Yea Kava Always Bosgfet Bears the Signature of NO EVIDENCE FOUND. Charges Regarding Controller Bay Grab Appear to Be Weak. Washington. July 10 Secretary Fish er today told President Taft that a careful search of the interior depart ment records failed to show the "Dick to Dick" letter in which it was alleg ed that C. P. Taft used his influence in behalf of navigation interests in Alaska to secure control of Controller bay. Secretary Fisher also told the presi dent that he saw the article written by Miss Abbott before it was printed and remembered no such letter in the article. It was stated at the White House that a careful search of the flies in the ex ecutive offices failed to repeal any record of a letter to the president from Chas. P. Taft concerning Ryan or bear ing in any way upon the Controller's bay The most important development of the case by the house committee on the interior department today was the testimony of Commissioner Denect of the general land office that the claim ants represented by Richard Ryan, of New Tork said to represent the Gug genheim interests had benefited by the omission of one provision in The final official papers. Commissioner Fred S. Dennett of the general land office and Miss M. A. Ab bott a writer both subpoenaed as wit nesses were present today when the house committee on expenditures in the interior department began an in quiry into charges of an alleged "grab" of valuable water front lands on Con troller bay Alaska by the Guggenheim interests. Published charges have been made that Richard S. Ryan of New Tork claimed to be a secret agent of the Guggenheim syndicate wrote a let ter to former Secretary of the Interior Ballinger declaring that he Rvan had asked Charles P. Taft to speak to his brother, President Taft, about the Con troller bay claims and that following this the president "made no further objection to my claim. Guggenheims Wanted It. The land is said to have been wanted as a terminus for railroads from the Guggenheim mine properties. Commissioner Dennett was summon ed to tell what he knew of kii order by the president throwing the land open to entry. Miss Abbott claimed to have made a copy of the alleged letter from Ryan to Ballinger. Immediately upon his return to Washington today President Taft et his office force to work to investigate the Controller Bay affair. All four of the departments interested were re quested to make investigation and re port any information that might be found. The Controller Bay and Charles P. Taft letter files were searched for a letter to the president from his brother in regard to this matter, the report that such a letter had been written having been brought to the president's attention for the first time this morn ing. A telegram has been sent to Charles P. Taft's secretary at Cincin nati, asking that an inquiry for such a letter be instituted there. Mr. Taft said he had never discussed R. S. Ryan or Controller Bay with his brother and had received no letter so far as he could remember. It is ex plained that R. S.Ryan, representing the Controller Bay Navigation com pany, secured a frontage of eighty rods on Controller Bay. The govern ment retained every other eighty rods water front on the bay, making, the department officials declare, a monop oly impossible. At the White House it was said that there had been no se crecy or anything unusual in the order opening Controller Bay to entry. The matter was passed upon by the cabinet in regular form, it was stated. Can't Find the Letters. Cincinnati, July 10. A tthe request of President Taft the letter files of his brother, C. P. Taft, were searched here today for trace of possible corre spondence with the president, Richard Ryan or other persons regarding Con troller Bay affairs or Alaskan lands. No letter bearing on the subject was found and so far as the files in Mr. Taft's office show he has no acquaint ance with Mr. Ryan or any interest in Alaskan investments. Charles P. Tait is now in Europe. joiiiTisTS worn work. Kansas Sheriff Appeals to Attorney General for Advice. "I have two convicted violators of the prohibition law in jail and want them to work the streets, which they refuse to do," writes a southwestern Kansas sheriff to the attorney gen eral's office. "How far can I go to make them work? Can I starve them?" Assistant Attorney General Brewster looked over this communication today and pondered deeply. He thought it would require the thought and atten tion of all the members of the office to decide the problem. It is complex and admits of many phases to twist the angles and divert the natural course of logic. How far can the sheriff go? Can he cut the stubborn inmates of his jail down to one meal a day, or one meal a week? Or must he stop short after omitting dessert from the bill of fare? The seventy children of Israel while prisoners in Egypt grew fat on pulse and water. Maybe the jailer's charges would also thrive on this diet. He could cut off the bread and stand pat on water and maybe get results. The streets of his town need the work. The prisoners need the food to sustain life. There ought to be some combination of results possible from these necessi ties. The jailer sure has a problem, and he writes like a man who does not give up until after every resource has been exhausted. While the attorney general's office is wrestling with the question prepara tory to rendering decision of Solo mon, a little advice to the prisoners who refuse to take their picks and shovels in their hands and work might not be amiss. With a sheriff like the above mentioned official in control of their destinies they had better get busy and do the work he has mapped out for them. He appears to mean busi ness, and while he may stop short of starvation, they may get pretty hungry before the attorney general's office force finds a law to make him pass food through the bars. Short rations weaken the constitution and idleness makes one susceptible to the ravages of the hot weather. Hard work doubles the appetite, and the jailer will lose money on the deal while the street work lasts. A peevish jailer is more to be feared than work on the streets, even under the sixteen hour law. All Passengers Safe. San Francisco, July 10. Every pas senger on the steamer Santa Rosa, wrecked near Point Argueilo, has been accounted for, according to a state ment given out today by C. D. Du nann, general passenger agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship company. C. H. Stark, Mrs. C. L. Pavne and Mrs. Spayne, the three reported missing yesterday, have been found This re port of the passenger department con fines the fatalities to one officer and three seamen, who were drowned when a small boat was crushed against the side of the steamer. HOT WAVE RETURNS. The Price of Ice in Chicago Has Been Advanced. New Tork, July 10. The heat wave that showed no consciousness of hav ing been broken last week returned with sunrise this morning to claim renewed dominion over the city and exhausted millions. A stifling humid ity prevailed and prostrations began to come in with the earliest police re ports. Two deaths occurred during the night. The tremendous demand for milk and ice has made both scarce, and prices have risen. At noon the temperature was 94 and prostrations' increased rapidly. So many horses fell that Mayor Gay- nor bade Police Commissioner Waldo instruct the police to interfere in all cases where they thought horses were overloaded. The local forecast said: "Barometric conditions are in favor of another warm period. The max imum temperature will be above A 5 degrees this afternoon and about that figure tomorrow." The maximum of last week's heat was 98. Pittsburg, July 10. The excessive heat in Pittsburg has not abated and the discomfort is increased by more humidity than was present in the at mosphere last week. At 6 a. m. the temperature was 76 and at 9 o'clock 84. The continued shortage of ice in creased the suffering. At 1:30 p. m. 90 degrees was reg istered. Chicago, July 10. The ice situa tion here is the most serious since 186 8 it was announced today in con nection with a raise in the price of ice from 8 to 10 cents per hundred weight to big users. The advance for family consumption however, is only 5 cents. It is said that economy will be nec essary to make the supply last the season. Philadelphia, July 10. This one of the hottest days of the summer in Philadelphia and vicinity the official thermometer showing 96 at 1 o'clock and still climbing. So far today there have been eight deaths from the heat making a total of 122 since the spell of extraordinary heat began. COBURN IN RUSSIA. His Books Are Translated and Eageiv ly nougm mere. E. V.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUBNAL MONDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1911. nORTII SIDE NEWS Station "A" Stamp Sales Gain 6 Per Cent in Year. For 1911 10,998.14 Worth of Stamps Sold. S3 CI. EASE OF 8624.56. Indicates Greater Population and More Prosperity. Large Attendance at Open Air Services. A gain of about six per cent in Blimp sales at Station A is shown by the report for the postofflce year clon ing June 30, given out today by Post master A. E. Robinson. The sale of lamps for the period mentioned Is $10,998.14. The sale of stamps for the year ending June 30, 1910, was 10,373.5S. This Is $624.5 more, or practically six per cent increase for the year ending June 30 1911. This indicates more prosperity and increase In population within the last year. Although the report shows that .North side people spend about $1,000 a month for stamps, it must be re membered that the greater part of the sales come from the business houses. However, the amount of stamp Bales, if Station A were in a separate town, would put the postofflce in the second class, with a salary of $2,200 a year for the postmaster. The increase In stamp sales also in dicates that people are traveling more end that more outsiders are moving Into the First ward. The more people visit in other towns, the more let ters are sent out from the home folk. The visitors form friends and upon re turning home correspondence follows. In case of a young man meeting a young woman in a neighboring town letters are often exchanged. However, while the stamp booming is all right, fcuch courtship correspondence is as tame as champagne with the bubbles left out, giving those concerned a real pain when it proves without results. The money had better be spent for flowers, theater tickets, etc., for the Xorth side girls and thus encourage home industries. These remarks are Blso applicable to the matrimonial bu reau devotees. Seriously, the Increase of stamp pales indicates that the houses on the North side are filling tir and this is backed by the reports of real estate men. Notes and Personals.

LOOYlNTO FUELOIL Commissioners Will Go to Kansas City to Investigate. President Lewis of the Topeka Fuel Oil company and the city commission ers will go to Kansas City tomorrow to investigate the fuel oil supply in that city. Before the city of Topeka grants a franchise to the new fuel company the commissioners wish, to investigate conditions in other cities. The Topeka Fuel Oil company controls a number of oil plants in Kansas City. There is a disposition among some of the city officials to laugh at the fuel oil proposition. City Attorney Kalston, who ruled at the start that the company could not enter Topeka, believes that a thorough investigation should be made before a franchise is granted. He fears that the franchise might be obtained by one company for investment purposes and for selling rights. Mayor Billard and other city com missioners, on the other hand, are pushing the proposition. They believe that the people of the city should have a cheaper fuel and they are do ing all in their power to have the oil piped in the city before the cold weather. NO MORE SMALLPOX.

New Law Likely to Make Trouble for Owners. State Auditor W. E. Davis is wor ried for fear many of the settlers on public school lands will lose their homes as a result of the change in the laws regulating these lands and the interest payments on the same. Formerly the law required county clerks to notify tenant of the ma turity of their interest payments in writing and have the summons served by the sheriff. But the new law does not require any notice at all. When the payment is due and remains un paid then the land may be sold with out further formality under process -jf law. The semi-annual reports of the county clerks in the school land coun ties indicate that many of the set tlers have neglected or forgotten their payments and Mr. Davis is afraid that these settlers will lose their homes that they have paid interest on for many years. He wants to give them all the warning possible in lieu of the change in the law. "I don't want to see these people lose their homes if I can help it," said Mr. Davis todav. "The new law does not consider any notice of delinquency at all. The set tler must pay or lose his home. I hope all the settlers will look up their interest payments and be sure they are in the clear." LIGHTXTXG STOPS GAS SUPPLX Strikes Pump House Two Cities May Suffer. Independence, Kan., July 10.

WHERE IS MISS WARE? Kansas Woman's Disappearance Bringa Her Name Into Case. Kansas City, July 10. The police have been requested to find Mrs. Edith Humphfres, wife of J. E. Humphfres, a real estate dealer of Hutchinson, Kan., who disappeared mysteriously in Kansas City last Wednesday. Humphfres, accompanied by C. A. Reed of Boomer, Mo., the lather of the missing woman, called to get the aid of the police depart ment. Mrs. Humphfres left Hutchinson two weeks ago last Thursday and in formed her husband that after a few days' visit with friends in Kansas City she would go to Boomer, Mo., to visit her parents and join her 7-year-old son. Humphfres received three let ters from his wife dated from Kansas City, the last of which informed him that she, Mrs. Humphfres, had met "Billie and Miss Ware" and that they were boating and fishing on the Mis souri river. This letter reached Hutch inson a week ago last Friday. A Mysterious Telegram. Last Wednesday "Miss Ware," who apparently is a business like young w oman with a terse way of expressing herself, sent the following telegram: C. A. Reed, Boomer Mo.: Mrs. Humphfres was drowned while boating. Impossible to recover body. MISS WARE. "Miss Ware" failed to notify the drowned woman's husband or the Kansas City police department, prob ably deducting that Mr. Reed would notify Humphfres, which he did. The two met in this city yesterday, i Humphfres said his wife met "Bil lie" once before in Denver, but Humphfres never has had that pleas ure and doesn't know William's last name. Humphfres believes his wife has met with an accident, but doesn't be lieve the upset boat theory. The missing wife is described as 29 years old. looks younger, has dark brown hair, gray eyes, weighs 148 pounds, is five feet tall, and pretty. Cotton Mills Resumo Work. Boston, July 10.

Senator Brady, A. $1. Keene and U. S. Guyer Also In. Governor Stubbs Will Call a Special Election. Four well known and able Republi cans of the Second district are spoken of as candidates for the Republican nomination for congress to succeed the late Alex Mitchell. Of these, only one has announced, state Senator J. L. Brady, the La' rence editor. As for the others, Charles Scott, former congress man for the Second district, is now in Europe, but it is expected that he will make the race. A. M. Keene, of Bour bon county, representative in the las' legislature, is sure to make the rac3. U. S. Guyer, former mayor of Kansas IJlIian Graham, From a Sketch Taken in City, is likely to be another candidate, and A. N. Enright, former member of the legislature, also of Kansas City, will likely be in the contest. These men in the primary race will make that election an interesting strug gle. Predicting a winner would be guess work. Mr. Scott, who made a brilliant record in congress, is the best known, but his district has shown itself to be progressive, while Scott is a regular. There has, however, been a decided change of sentiment. Tin's man Keene of Bourbon is a comer in Kansas poli tics. He quickly came to the front as a leader in the last house of repre sentatives. The better he is known the stronger candidate he will be In the primary. Keene is a progressive. Sen ator Brady will have quite a following in the Second district for primary hon ors. He is an able, level-headed man and stood high in the councils of the state senate. Brady is editor of the Journal-World, one of the best of the country dailies of the state. It is a fact that when the late Alex Mitchell first entered politics as a candidate for representative from Douglas county he was opposed by Brady for the nom ination. Mitchell won the place in the lower house, but Brady was later elect ed to the state senate. Brady wanted to run for congress against Scott last year but gave way to his old legislative op ponent and fellow townsman and friend. Now he has announced that he will enter the primary free-for-all. Brady is a progressive. Ex-Mayor Guyer, of Kansas City, must be considered in the race for one reason that he has the most populous county in the district to call his home. Wyandotte gave Mitchell the congres sional nomination over Scctt. It is expected that Governor Stubbs will at once call a primary election to select a candidate for Mitchell's place. Joseph Taggart. county attorney of Wyandotte, is talked of as the Demo cratic candidate for the Mitchell seat. The Golden Belt Medical society, the oldest organization of the kind in the state, and one of the strongest, has passed resolutions against the can didacy of Arthur Capper for governor on the ground that he carries adver tisements for an alleged fake sani tarium and medical concern in his pa per, the Capital. The Golden Belt held its annual meeting in Junction City last week, at which time it passed the following resolutions: "The members of the Golden Belt Medical society here assembled. in view of the fact that Mr. Arthur Cap per, editor of the Topeka Daily Capi tal, has announced his intentions of being a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor at the fall pri maries and that In his platform he makes special mention that he is against graft, be it Resolved. That we announce cur lack of confidence in this anti-graft declaration when he persistently lends his columns for the advisatory pur poses to what the medical profession considers to be a colossal graft; be it further "Resolved, That we reauest ail physicians of good standing to use all honorable means to inform the public that the medical profession considers Mr. Arthur Capper, by accepting such advertising, as being in accord with and promoting this form of question able practice, and who considers per sonal gain preferable to the honest consideration of the general public welfare."

The police aided by the defendants, redoubled their ef forts today to solve the mystery of the lost letters In the Stokes shooting case. Tomorrow the court will receive the last evidence to show whether or not Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad should be held for the grand jury on the charge of trying to murder W. E. D. Stokes, the millionaire hotel man, and without these letters the young wo men say their cause is badly handicap ped. They admit they shot Stokes, but declare the circumstances which these letters would help reveal were such as to make the shooting justifiable. The superintendent of the apartment house where the shooting took place was summoned before Police Commis sioner Waldo today. The commission er is interested in the case on account of charges that some of his men per mitted Stokes' private detective to ransack Miss Graham's suite and carry Ethel Conrad. the Court Room. away the bundle of letters while the city detectives were present. The de fendants say that the letters already made public in connection with the case were returned after nine or more which Stokes wished to suppress had been taken from the collection. Tho defend ants' lawyers said that when the exam ination is resumed tomorrow they will bring charges against the Stokes detei tive who admitted on the stand that he had carried away the letters. Whether the charge would be larceny or the suppression of evidence they had not deeiued. Magistrate Kreschi, who has been conducting the preliminary hearings, and District Attorney Whitman will confer today with a view to deciding what action ought to be taken about the disappearance of the letters. At the close of the examination to morrow the magistrate probably, will issue a summons for James Cum mings. Stokes' private house detective. Formal proceedings will then begin to determine whether or not a crime has been committed. Cummings swore he found the let ters while city detectives who accom panied him in his search of the girls' apartment were not looking. The su perintendent of the apartment house has told the police commissioner that all letters in the apartment were re moved by city officials on the night Stokes was shot, June 6. Cummings in a second search three days later found the letters produced in evidence as he swore in court. The commissioner believes some one must have "plant ed" them there in the meantime, hav ing removed the eight or more letters missing. MORE PAY FOR CARRIERS R. F. D. Men Will Receive Increase of $100 a Year. Washington, Julv 10. The 40,000 odd ru ral free delivery carriers in the United States are to receive salary increases as a result of a decision reached by Postmas ter General Hitchcock. The order will provide for the disbursement during the current fiscal year of $4,000,000, which wl1: mean an increase of $100 over the present salary of $900 for all carriers on standard routes. Congress provided last session for the expenditure of this extra $4,000,000, but left it to the discretion of the postmaster general as to how muchi of it should be expended. Mr. Hitchcock has decided to authorize the expenditure of the full amount. His desire to compensate the carriers for any additional burden which may be placed on them if the parcels post sys tem he has recommended for rural routes, is approved by congress, was the important consideration, Mr. HitchcocK declared, which led him to make the au thorization. In the current year the rural service will cost the government about $40,000,000, the estimated loss being about $25,000,000. The postmaster general expressed the be lief that the parcels post system, under proper management, would insure the maintenance and extension ot the rural free delivery service as a self-supporting branch of the postal servie. The rural delivery system was started 15 years ago with 83 carriers, who were paid only $200 a year. On July 1 there were 41.532 carriers, their aggregate sal aries being JS6.793.00O.

Joy Ride Ends With Smashup on Lower Kansas Avenue. Five men automobile joy riders and a pair of young people returning from their Sunday night buggy ride narrow ly escaped death in a smashup last night on Kansas avenue near Thir teenth street. The young couple had just stepped out of the rig when the automobile struck it. The occupants of the machine were hurled into the air or pinned under the ear, which turned over, but none were dangerous ly hurt. John Lewis and Mary Morrissey had just tied their livery rig at her home at 1326 Kansas avenue about 11 o'clock last night. An instant later the auto mobile, owned and driven by George Archer of 1221 North Monroe street, swung up Kansas avenue around the slight turn from the south and struck the rear end of the buggy. The rig was demolished and the horse pulled loose from the post. The horse xas captured uninjured farther up the street a little later. Mrs. Morrissey, who was sitting on the front porch of her home, saw the accident and says of it: "I could hear a party of men singing down the ave nue. Then the machine swept into view and banged into the buggy. There were five men in the automobile and the driver seemed to be very careless. The front wheels struck the curb after throwing the buggy out of the way and the machine pitched up on its nose. The driver made a gine arch over to this tree (20 feet away), and the machine wabbled over and fell onto the left side. The four other men pulled themselves out from under the car. It is a wonder someone was not killed. A crowd of about 500 people swarmed around the w-reck. It looked like there wa sa lot of broken bottle glass mixed with the broken wind shield." The machine was not badly broken up in spite of its somersault. The front axle was twisted out of shape and the wind shield demolished. The left fender was broken down and the body scratched but no serious damisre was done to the engine which con tinued to run after the machine was disabled. A car from the North side garage of Firth Williams hurried to the scene and picked up the occupants of the Archer car. This morning the broken down car was hoisted onto the park ing and the front axle taken out to be replaced. The livery rig belonged at the Law less barn. It is said Archer will pay for the buggy without protest. COMPOSER SINGS AND DIES. His Own Songs J. P. Jones' Last Words. Chicago, July 10. Singing snatches from his own composition, John P. Jones, noted Welsh composer and vo calist, died yesterday at the age of 88. The 17-year-old granddaughter of the composer, sat at the piano. The audience was made up of the four maiden daughters of Mr. Jones all teachers in Chicago public schools who have kept house for him many reirs, and several other relatives and friends. As the player began to strum the mel ody of 'Congress Street. Mr. Jones favorite among the hymns of his own composition, the aged singer took up the words. Almost as clear and round ed as in earlier years, his voice rose above the accompaniment- "Play again child," the aged man commanded. One after another he ran through the repertoire of his own com positions. Then came another favorite to the air of "Eva." named by the composer after one of his daughters. After a few words, the old musician's voice faltered and he was dead in a few min utes. LEATHER WORKERS MAY STRIKE Recognition of Union and New Wage Scale Demanded. New York, July 10.

Atchison and Southern Pa cific a point. Northern Pacific, Erie first preferred and St. Paul, Reading, Unit ed States Steel and Erie common Western Maryland was weak, declining a point on the first transaction Reports of better weather conditions in the crop region which were borne out by a fall in grain prices caused a strong and active stock market. Representative railroad stocks were up between 1 and 2 points, with the Harrimans and St. Paul leading. General improvement in the stock mar ket resulted from reports of better crop conditions received over the week end. Toward noon the market became less ac tive. Virginia Carolina became weak to day, losing a point. Lackawana jumped 13 points, more than making up Satur day's loss. Bonds were firm. Although the Copper producers reach was gratifying in every way showing a large curtailment in production and an increased foreign demand it failed to stimulate interest in the market which was excessively dull.
