QUIZ FOjULASKA House Committee Hill Investi gate Alleged Crooked Deals Of Which It Is Alleged Gen. Wickersham Is Cognizant. THE CABINET OFFICER Is Charged With Deliberately Suppressing Evidence Until Statute of Limitation Had liun on Crime. Washington, July 15. After secret consideration of charges made by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska, that Attorney General Wickersham deliber ately permitted the statute of limita tions tu run against agents of the Alaska syndicate, wll defrauded the government through perjury to the ex tent of $00,000, the house committee on judiciary has determined to report favorably a" resolution of Inquiry' offer ed by Delegate Wickersham. The resolution would call upon the attorney general to furnish the house with all documents, affidavits and testimony in his possession relating to an affidavit submitted to him more than a year aso and sworn to by tl. J. Iouglas, former auditor of the Alas kan svndicate. in 1908. Delegate Wickersham startled tl-e committee when in executive commit tee he produced a copy of an affidavit relating to an alleged criminal act. committed by Captain D. H. Jarvis of the Alaskan syndicate, and formerly prominent in the government revenue i cutter service, who committed suicide In Seattle on June 22. the day follow ing the Introduction of the Wicker sham resolution calling for production of the papers in the case, and by John H. Bullock of the John J. Kesnor Coil company of Nome. Through connivance of these men it was charged that the government was defrauded on coal contracts and that evidence to that effect was permitted to remain unacted upon in the attor nev general's office for more than a year until, the statute of limitations expired last May. Delegate Wickersham furnished the committee w ith photographic copies of n letter of an attorney for the Alaska syndicate to D. 11. Jarvis admitting the expenditure of money to control gov ernment witnesses in the Hazey mur der trial in 1!HX. wherein an agent of the Alaska svndicate was accused cf murdering laborers employed by rival interests during the construction of a railroad in Alaska. IMiotogrnph of Account. photograph of on expense account of SI 133.40 of M. B. Morrissey, em ployed bv the syndicate, it is claimed, to entertain government witnesses and iurymen in that connection, also was submitted to the committee. This evi dence. Delegate Wickersham declared ilso is in the possession of the attor ney general. Delegate Wickersham urged on the judiciary committee the Douglas affidavit involving the repre sentatives of the Northwestern Com mercial company, one of the Alaska syndicate concerns, and the Sesnor Coal company. On May 24. 1910." he said. "I sent to Attorney (Jeneral Wickersham a copy of the affidavit calling his att"n t Sou to the fact that the government hail been defrauded of $50,000 by per iury and a combination of these two corporations in the sale of coal to the government for military posts in Alaska. -I asked him to make an investiga tion and prosecute those persons fc.r th crime committed in that transac tion. T received a letter of acknowl edgment May 31. 1910, and we lioj considerable further correspondence, and on June 13. 1911, more than a i year later, I received a leter from the jcar later, I received a letter from the statute of limitations had expired." The correspondence. including the final letter of the attorney general, was rend into the record. T r..-..i the lust letter," continued Delegate Wickersham, "to show that the attorney general now says that the statute of limitations has run against the prosecution of these men who committed perjury and defrauded the government. They submitted false af fidavits to the government and com mitted fraud in April and May. 190''. and the statute of limitations did not expire until May 19. 1911. I sent sH the evidence to the attorney general a year before and he failed and refined in prosecute these people for robbing the treasury and he permitted the stat ute of limitations to run in thetr favor. "I want the committee to have r.ll Hie facts so that it may know wheth. r the atorney general has deliberntely shielded these people from prosecution for crime or not. It is fair to him and lair to me. I say that he has." Evidence Enough to Indict. "Did von send the attorney general evidence enough and indicate where witnesses could be found to warrant nn indictment'." asked Representative Webb, of North Carolina. "Undoubtedly." replied the terri torial delegate, "and I furnished him with evidence of other crimes. The Alaska syndicate i?) an organized crime." "What do you mean by the Alaskan syndicate?" Chairman Clayton in quired. "I refer to the Alaska syndicate, composed of .7. I'ierpont Morgan, the C.uggenheim brothers. Kuhn, Loch Co.. Jacob H. SVliiff and fl raves." "Who do you mean by the Guggen heim brothers?" asked Representative Norris. of Nebraska. "Senator Simon Guggenheim and his s;x brothers." "What is Graves?" asked repre sentative Graham, of Illinois. "He represents Close F.rothers, the Knrrllsh syndicate, and other English capitalist?.. "Captain Jarvis." added the dele gate "was the confidential agent of Morgan in Seattle. He committed nuioido following the introduction of tbii resolution you are now consider in?. "He knew that this resolution would bring out the facts." The Douglas affidavit charges that when the war department advertised for bids for coal to supply the Alaska military posts, Jarvis, treasurer of the Northwestern company, and John H. Bullock, of the Sesnor Coal company, a rival of the svndicate. agreed to sub in it bids which would insure the award of the contract to one company or the other, there being no other competitor, agreed to certain lighter age charges and fixed upon a division o the profits. Price Twice Too High. The Sesnor company got the con tract to furnish 4,000 tons of coal at $28 a ton, a price which Douglas claimed was nearly twice too high, and the profits were divided, Douglas himself entering $6,700 from the Ses nor company on the books of the Northwestern company as the latter's share of the profits. Both Bullock and Jarvis, Douglas swears, made, false affidavits to the government that no one but the company which each represented had any interest in the The evidence submitted, indicating an attempt to control government wit nesses, is a fac simile copy of a letter written by John A. Carson, counsel for the Alaska syndicate, to Captain Jarvis, under n. Seattle date, May 1908. The letter reaae: .i.r iul Cantofn- The enclosed ac count of Mr. M. B.

General Wickersham Replies. Washington, July 15. Attornoy General Wickersham today made an informal reply to the charge of Dele gate Wickersham that he had allowed the statute of limitation to expire m certain Alaska criminal cases without taking action. "I have not given a definite opinion that the statute of limitation has ex pired in all of thse cases. It is not improbable that criminal action may be. taken. The matter is still under investigation in so far as it relates io the alleged combination of bidders in the coal propoistion. The Hazey case, however, I think' is barred by the stat ute. I will continue my investigation of the others. It has been under way some time and has never been discon tinued." Delegate Wickersham of Alaska to- .3 J 1.-..

War Dickinson has been furnished with the same evidence concerning Alaskin frauds as was rurnisnea ailui ne uen eral Wickersham in May, 1910. and that he never acknowledged receipt of the documents. He had this statement placed in the records of the hearings of the judiciary committee. Coupled with it was the further statement that Delegate Wickersham submitted to th3 attorney general more than a year ago evidence of an alleged bribing of a United States district attorney by the Katalla company, one of the organisa tions in the Alaska syndicate. "I have evidence," declared Delegate Wicker sham. "that $3,000 was used to bribe a deputy district attroney. That is the kind of matter I have been vainly try ing to get this government to investi gate and prosecute." "BLACK HAND" SIGNAL It Brings Death Instead of Money to an Italian. Jeanette. Fa.. July 3 5. Upon the signal of the "black hand" to turn money over to its agent, George La barto. a wholesale fruit merchant, shot and killed Venei Ceciliano, an Italian barber, here today and immediately thereafter eight letters from the "black hand" demanding money of Labarto, upon pain of death, were turned over to the police by Mrs. La barto. Ceciliano entered Labarto's store, and stood lighting a stogie when La barto opened fire with an automatic revolver, from the rear of the estab lishment. The lighting of the stogie was the signal for Labarto to pay Ceciliano $2,000. This signal was ox plained to Labarto in a letter he re ceived after his barns were burned down and several horses destroyed. ONLY QUE ISTeFT. Survivor of the Monitor Crew Dies in California.

Judge Sapp's Testimony "Was Not Specific. 1IIXTS OF THE GRAFT Also Bitterly Arraigns the Fee System. Russell J. Harrison Advertises for Harmon Club. Out of all the mass of evidence taken Friday at the attorney general's in quisition no new fact of importance was established, and the only point made out of all the Cherokee charges of graft was that the system of fees in connection with law enforcement is wrong. And yet some particular in ducement must be offered to get evi dence and convict jointists. The pa role system was abused in Cherokee and in many cases unreliable men con ducted the raids on the joints. No won der it has been hard to keep the lid on in that wet county. The general charges made by Ju Jge Sapp. a judge of the district court, were startling, to say the least. The distribution of joint fixtures over town following the raids was a mockery of the law. Conditions in Cherokee were undoubt edly worse than elsewhere in the state. But after all, no definite or specific charge was made against the law en forcement officials. The general allega tion that some of them had become rich as a result of the fee system may be true. At $25 per it ought not to be hard to get rich. All the agitation and talk about Cherokee looks on the surface to be bunkum, but it is pretty sure to bring about reforms and improvement in "con ditions down there. Ouster and injunc tion are the two weapons that will put the jointist out of business every time. But out of the fee system al ways come charges of graft. The governor and the attorney gen eral will go to the supreme court to thresh out the question of authority. The Cherokee sheriff is pretty sure to be ousted. The governor's agents will continue to work in Cherokee. Thu three cornered fight between Judge Sapp, the attorney general and the gov ernor will continue until the supreme court fix; responsibility. After 20 years Cherokee may yet be dry. The State Journal is in receipt of communications today from two gu bernatorial aspirants of last year. Rus sell J. Harrison, who sought the Dem ocratic nomination, is out for J. B. Billard for governor and Judson Har mon for president and wants to organ- tee a Kansas for Harmon club. Mr. Harrison sends the following to the State Journal to be used as a w ant ad: Wanted A Democrat in the Second congressional district to act as vice president for our Harmon and Harri son Kansas club.

Illinois Goernor Still ou the Stand in Lorimer Case. Washington, July 15. Governor Charles S. Deneen of Illinois, who fig ured in the Lorimer fight, again testi fied today before the senate Lorimer committee. It was the third day of Governor Deneen's occupancy of the witness stand and it was expected that he would conclude before adjourn ment. The hearing opened with a, dis cussion of the alignment of the fac tions in Illinois politics in connection with the senatorial contest. Mr. Hanecy suggested that none of the followers of Chauncey Dewey or John R. Thompson voted for Lorimer until after a senatorial conference held in the governor's office. Mr. Deneen replied that the purpose of that meet ing was to prevent their f ollowers from voting for Lorimer. Governor Deneen said that before the publication of the alleged White confession, Editor Kee ley of the Chicago Tribune suggested to him that a special session of the legislature be convened to consider the Lorimer case. The witness said that probably after the publication he ten tatively wrote a message proposing a special session. At a consultation with his advisers, however, the conclusion was reached that the investigating committee probably wotOd consist of the men who were guilty and the spe cial session was not called. Governor Deneen told of being in the office of the Tribune the night the White story was printed. He said he read practically the first copy printed and walked out with it hidden under his vest. He explained that he had been warned that everyone leaving the building that night would be searched. White's reference to the $30,000 loss to the corruption "jack pot" because of the governor's vetoing one bill was taken up. Governor Deneen said he had examined his vetoes and "guessed" White was referring to the "corpora tion bill," revising the corporation laws of the state. Governor Deneen said he vetoed it because it allowed "A barber shop to incorporate and buy a rail road." The witness said a large number of the leading lawyers of the state had seen him in behalf of the bill. "Did Mr. Bancroft, general counsel of the International Harvester com pany, see you about not vetoing the bill?" asked Mr. Hanecy. "I do not recall whether he called before or after the bill v as passed." The w itness added that he did not know whether Bancroft, favored the feature of the bill which was objec tionable to Deneen. WANTS TEXAS JONES. Taylor of Boston Offers $5.0(10 for Demon Swatter. St. Joseph, Mo., July 15. John I. Tay lor, owner of the Boston American League team, has wired Owner John Holland of the St. Joseph Western league club an offer of $5,000 for "Tex" Jones, first baseman of the local team.

Kansas 'City, July 13. Mrs. Mar garet Klock Armour, widow of Sim eon B. Armour, the packer, filed suit in the circuit court here today for $142,000 against Miss Harriet Bying ton to cover peculations alleged to have been made, by Miss Byington while serving as companion and housekeep er to Mrs. Armour. The first intimation the public re ceived concerning peculations against Mrs. Armour came about three months ago when a local newspaper published stories saying that $50,000 in bonds and securities had disappear ed from Mrs. Armour's safety deposit box at the New England National bank of this city. The fact that the majority of the business of Mrs. Armour's household was conducted by Mrs. Armour's com panion, nurse and housekeeper and the fact that this companion held the key to Mrs. Armour's safety deposit box, was mentioned, but the name of the companion was kept secret. Mrs. Armour refused to believe any charges of dishonesty against Miss Byington. Meanwhile new discoveries increased the amount of missing securities until the Armour attorneys stated it at $150,000. Under pressure brought to bear by friends of Mrs. Armour and despite the expressed confidence of her em ployer, Miss Byington several days after the discovery of the peculations confessed that during the three years she had been in Mrs. Armour's em ploy she had from time to time ex tracted securities from the safety de posit box and sold them to brokers on the "pretense she was doing it for Mrs. Armour who desired the money for private charities. Miss Byington then directed Investigators to a dog ken nel at the Armour home, where about $25,000 of the securities were found buried in a corner. She promised to restore the remainder. It developed that thousands of dol lars had been spent by Miss Byington for fine jewelry and works of art. for which she had paid fabulous prices, in some cases apparently with the use of little judgment. From storage houses in this city, under Miss Byington s di rection, Mrs. Armour's representatives recovered $10,000 worth of Jewelry bought from one firm in the course of 18 months, $8,000 worth of oriental rugs and $4,000 worth cf mezzo tints purchased from a local art dealer, w hose shop she had frequented a great deal. Other eew-gaws ind flashy art works were found in Miss Byington's apartments at the Armour home. Miss Byington came to Kansas City from Rochester, N. Y. and entered Mrs. Armour's employ about three years ago. Mrs. Armour ;s 76 years old. Gradually she came to lean more and more upon her companion, until eventual!' she gave her a large part Of the control of the financial manage ment of the household. When told by her attorneys of the disappearance of securities. Mrs. Armour refUsed to take any action against Miss Byington and for weeks afterward kept her in her employ. The amount named in the suit, $142,000, is stated to cover the entire amount of the alleged peculations, in cluding the bonds and the value of property returned. Vouchers showing the amount returned must be present ed in court and credited against the entire amount. NOW LOOK FOR RAIN. Sunny Flora Sees Ileal Signs of Mois ture at Lat. "The balloon went south for the first time this season," said "Sunny" Flora, the weather man, today. "Now if all other signs fail I have faith in this." In other words the Topeka weather distributor figures that it might rain before night. The forecast says fair tonight and Sunday but who car -s for a forecast when the clouds hang heavily over the city church steeples. "What have we ahead?" was asked of "Sunny" this afternoon. "If you look to the north we have rain ahead and if you turn and look to the south we have fair weather," said Mr. Flora. The wind early this afternoon was blowing 10 miles an hour from the northeast. Today has been a cool day with a minimum temperature of 70 de grees at 5 o'clock this morning and a maximum temperature of 45 at 10 o'clock this morning.

The late rains are improving the crops, also restoring the pastures. Ihe future is promising and no causa for alarm. .v."8 ePrteJ from the trade centers the indications for the present half year are much more cheerful than those oe loci. January, i tie money market con tinues easy and money is being re leased in sufficient volume to meet the business demands. There is a very: striking difference in the position of tha banks over a year ago. There is an actual cash increase of $150,000,000 for the United States. Last year many bankers were seriously concerned over the banking situation. Banks had ex tended credit to their utmost in their zeai to accommodate investors and speculators at a time when their re sources were being strained to care tor general trade. Banks this year have refrained from accommodating too free ly investors and speculators and have confined themselves more closely ta commercial lines and building up "their reserves. Trade in general is showing a decided improvement both in actunt business done and in a very much more nopeful view of the future. "The most prominent uncertainty at the present time lies in the politi cal situation and on that point it is impossible to express a definite opin ion, not only because it is at present too involved, but also because it in impossible to judge how much of tlu present agitation Is due to activities of a purely political character and it the present congress would play less politics and devote its time and en ergies to solving the great business problems and solving them honestly and right they could accomplish mora than all other forces combined to ad vance the business interests of thu country and it would entitle it to the sincere gratitude of the American people."

It was the second humiliation for the haughty ones in the past three days by the sadly crippled Kaws. Manager Rickert was back in the tame after a couple of days in the doc tor's care. He celebrated with three fuiccessive bingles. He had to shine a. little anyway Mr his wife had arrived from New Orleans and watched him from the grandstand. Harris Loses Control. Ben Harri.s, the handsome one-time fooieyite. was an ideal Hendricks of fering for ladies' day. He did himself proud before the crowd of pink and white but couldn't win because his teammates failed to hit. Cassidy with two gone in the nrsr round hit safely for the first of Buchan tin's lour l-ingles. But a moment late: v. t.ioH r,nt I'lianraan's arm and found Hiimxr-lf heat in about half way. Beall j doubled to open the second failure and Liudsav siriKled after yumsn puiiiwi.' cut, Beall was forced to tie up at third find Lindsay stole on down to secouu. There was the only danger of the day. That was only to the crowd, however, lor Buck whiffed Cofleo and made I'rambes bounce it down to him. An erratic throw by Harford, the first Tie has ever produced here, allowed t'assidy to got on in the fourth and 2ieall sacrificed him down. Two ftyouts completed the inning. King making a t:reat run for the last. Then there was nothing in bight for Denver until the eighth when Ken worthy, substituted for Harris, drove the fourth safe one through the short Aii error bv Kdmiston had ..rr,iitPil Mrifihr. replacing raniDes, iu go ahead or tne mi aim unco tifi.xm crowd wondered what Buck would do. Lloyd popped one out over first which Krepps t-nagged and Gilmore took the count. That was the end of the op portunities appearing to the Bears and they failod to grasp the forelock. Bewher Helps in Scoring:. The Kav.s won the day in the sec end splash Into the hitting turn. Roy Beecher bounced one over Harris which tore its way to the outfield. Edmteton sacrificed him up a ptation and a passed hall sent him to third. Whitney then induced Harris to walk him and the Telting business was up to Krepps, the Saline count v aspirant. He Plashed Into one knocking it to Lloyd and went out but Beecher arrived home with the run. Chapman skied. In the third, fifth, and eighth rings Kk'kert and Hcftord, the first two up the batting list singled in succes sion. The first two times one was out end the third time no one was down. And yet -nith these fine prospects open ing io view, no score resulted from them. The first time King forced Haf ford and Beecher hit to Harris. The second time, Bert hit into Coffee for a ;oub'.e. The third time, King sacrific ed and put them on second and third nvith only one out. But Beecher popped cut foul to Quillen and Edmiston riled the atmosphere. Ken worthy was on the hill in the eighth, and the two hits credited off lilm let Harris off with the neat per formance ot exhibits. The score: TOPEKA. Plavers All. U. It. P. A. E.

Wichita, Kan., July IS. As was ex pected, Sternberg of Kansas City had little trouble in winning his match in the semi-finals from Phillips of Hutch inson, taking it six up and five to play. Adams of Hutchinson will meet him in the finals today and the Kansas City man should win rather easily. Oliver of Wichita sprung a surprise by win ning from T. B. Frost of Topeka, one up, in the semi-finals rour.d of the con solation play. T. H. Griiflth, father of the ex-champion, was cne down to Stinthson of Wichita in the other match in this division.

He has manifested his willing ness to fight the American champion at 133 pounds, weight in at 3 p. m. The fourth man is Packey McFar land, and of the four Packey is the least considered because it is a certain ty that if he tried to make 133 pounds three hours before the fight, as Wol gast demands, he could not retain his fighting strength. BASEBALL DOPE AND GOSSD7. Where They Play Tomorrow. St. "Joseph at Topeka, Des Moines at Lincoln. Denver at Omaha. Sioux City at Pueblo. A pretty classy brand of ball is be ing put up the Kaws since their return from the disastrous road trip. Jim Buchanan further showed that he has come-back, allowing only four hits and no walks. The Kaw club as It lined up could not be expected to bat out a victory and It was altogether up to Buck. He won it in a shutout. St. Joseph with their barrel of pepper and the ginger shaker, Shaeffer, is on the lot today. The aws always had a good deal of luck with the Hollanders. May be a different looking lineup to day. The Kaws last night secured Outfielder Red v .rdner from the Kan sas Oty Blues, paying dearly for let ting him slip by early in the spring, e most probably will be played lu right field. i-e has been playing great ball and clouting the pill. Presi dent Woodward agreed with Danny Shay on J1.200 for Gardner and very probably he is worth all of it. Shay is said to have a major league outfielder bought and for that reason could spare Gardner. Gardner is slated to arrive to play today. Emory also is expected today to work out on the infiel With this Southern eaguer in the game along with Gard ner, the club would look more like a regular Western league outfit and probably put up a steady game. Tho kids have been playing good ball but they can not hit these pitchers. Bob Lowe, the Detroit Tiger scout, was in Topeka the last two days of the Denver series looking 'em over. It was claimed by Concordia that Detroit had asked about Chapman and perhaps Ljwe was taking a look at him. Pretty hard to tell what a scout is doing. Maybe Umpire Morgan makes a hit with him. Denver's drag in the blown up Kan sas State league pulled in only one player. He Is Campfield, the McPher son catcher whom Buchanan went out; to the Swedish settlement to look over. Buck raw one he liked better. That is Crittenden who belonged to Larned. Collins, the Southern leaguer, is ex pected to join the Grizzlies at Omaha today. Jack Holland has signed up Dick Crittenden, the Larned catcher who looked good to Buck. Perhaps tha youngster will get to work in the series here. The Western league fans aro busy these days forming opinions on the player of the Kansas Stats league. Sioux City Tribune: Need of an other outfielder is apparent.

Lincoln News: President Despain's summary suspension of Parson Far thing, following the refusal of the southpaw to join the York club in the State League indicates that the boss of the Antelopes means to brook no trlning with his will. Many of the wise fans were convinced that the slump which took the local club out of the first division two weeks ago was the result of indifferent work on the part cf a few players, and their julgment was verified when, after D. D. went to the bench and gave it out cold that performance must measure up to sal ary, the LIncoin aggregation broke loose with a supply of ginger and a conseauent winning streak that has made the entire league sit up and take notice. Farthing has not been pitching the quality of ball demanded of a win ning club. Being out or rorm, it wouia be an act of wisdom on his part to re port to York ar;d pitch himself back into shape to go the pace in Western League company. A month or more under Lefty Davis at York ought to work wonders with the parson and en able him to return to class A and achieve a brilliant record during the finish of the Tip O'Neill race. The par son has bad advisers if he persists in his refusal to go to York. St. Joseph News-Press: Kaufman blew up again yesterday. He has not finished a eame for some time and his noor form is surprising. When the season opened Kaufman gave promise of being a consistent winner, but he has taken a discouraging slump. Chief Johnson looked little better. In the bar gain he gets credit for losing the game. Lincoln Star: Leslie Nunemaker, formerlv with Lincoln and the first string catcher for the Boston Red So this year, is at home at Aurora nursing a hand on which one finger is broken and the end of another torn off. He has been the catching sensation of the American league this year and has been swatting just under the .300 mark. He will probably drop into the local ball park and call on the Lopes during their home stay. Pueblo Chieftain: Manager Isbell yesterday practically closed a dell whereby he will secure two. pitchers from the Minneapolis club of the American association. They are Faber and Peaster. Both have good reputa tions but the Minneapolis club is over stocked with pitching talent. There was a slight hitch in the proceedings vesterdav afternoon when Isbell re ceived a" wire stating that there were some obstacles in the way before they could be turned over to Pueblo but it is believed that satisfactory arrange ments will be made today in which case both can be here to take part in the Sioux City series. Should the "ump," a player slug, In the mug? I'll straighten matters out, Smooth and smug. I'll fine him fifty bones In admonitory tones, I'll lecture him at length On the rug. Should a player thump an "ump," j He's a chump. It will cost two hunared bucks For each thump. "Umps" are gentlemen anu scuuiais, And I think two hundred dollars Is a reasonable charge To thump an ump." L. C. Davis in St. Louis Post-D.s-patch Rimix Citv Journal: Twenty years ago today was a significant one in the Western association, which now is the Western league. The season of 181 was a tough one for the association, which, until the day mentioned, had done poor business. The various ciubs had a hard time maintaining themselves in the league, but managed after a fash ion to scratch along until Sunday, July 12. On that day Owner Dick McCor mick, of the Omaha team, disbanded his club after it had won a double from Lincoln by the scores of 12 to 4 and 4 to 1. He gave as a reason that a m Iim.I .l ir r-nr." mnnw fin th nrvinnKition of suDDorting a team in that city. The league struggled along with seven teams, one of which had to remain idle all of the time, until July Zo, when the Omaha team was reorgan ized and sent to Milwaukee, where i' lojt its first game by the score of 17 1 1 1. At the time of Omaha's disband ment it was leading the league with a percentage of .6o2. It was taken back into the league with the same percent age.

On the 15th, just four days latr, Sioux City was playing in MilwauS.ee, with' the score 4 to 1 in favor of Milwaukee in the seventh Inning, when Manager Cushman, of Milwaukee, stopped the game and announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen: The Milwaukee team will 'eave tonight for St. Louis, where it plays against the St. Louis Browns t" morrow, and consequently forfeits this srame In order to enable the team t make the 7:15 train."

A Gang Head After Three Years' Experience. 7 v v X r AVf" .IX 3C -v t m mi r tr 3& e w A H kR J-m yj The recent session of the legislature passed a law making It legal to use a seine in Kansas streams to catch fish. There were certain limitations, the most Important being the net must be of "three inch mesh." This means that a person may handily poke his fist through the seine. Any one who knows any thing about f.h in Kansas itreams will appreciate this "joker," The law also provides that before any one can use a seine he must obtain a permit from the state fis!. warden and file a bond that he will use the seine in a legal manner. These restrictions did rot make an Impression on Major A. M. Harvey erstwhile lieutenant givernor and would-be fisherman. He has tried for years to catch fish with hook and line and has failed signally and here was his chance. He applied to Warden Dyche for a permit to seine, filed a bond, signed by John Waters, Tom Doran and John Switzer and then bought a "legal" seine for $4.50. The permit came in due time which gave him the right to use the net "with the three-inch mesh" persoi all: or with such assistants as necessary and Major Harvey swung his hat In the air, gave three war whoops and shouted "now watch me." One day this week a call was issued which read something like this: "I, A. M. Harvey, the only lega''y authorized net fisherman In Kansas hereby invite you to join me at Wakarusa creek to assist In dragging from Its depths sev eral wagon loads of fish, I reserving the right to distribute them as I see fit. You will be required to act under my direction as required by law." The following citizens o Topeka who were favored with invitations an swered the call: Judge A. W. Dana of the district court; J. S. Dean, formerly United States district attorney; T. F. Doran, Robert Tasker, registerer of deeds; L. S. Ferry, Fre Cole, James Vance, an old resident of Wakarusa who was taken along as j.llot and the writer, who is content to be unknown. Major Harvey Rrewl His Permit In a Loud Voice. "All aboard for the stone bridge," Fhouted Commander in Chief Harvey, as the two automobiles that carried the party were cranked up and turned southward. The 14 miles were covered in half an hour without incident and the party was unloaded on the banks of the stream with which the early history of Kansas Is clos-ely identified. It was then 5 p. m. and there were three hours left to use the seine which was quite enough. There was some water in the creek but it stood in long, inviting looking pools and had long ceased to wend its way toward the sea. The Fishing Begins. Judgo Dana and Judge Ferry struck as soon as they got out of the cars. They looked at their carefully creased trousers, thought of their carefully combed hair, and then announced "That water looks too wet for us." They were accordingly appointed in spectors to see that Mr. Dyche's law was not violated. Mr. Dean said he thought he would not go into the water unless his presence was necessary to help drag the fish out. The net was carefully spread out and carried to the water. It was then announced that Tasker was "chief snagger" and would be required to unfasten tne net in the event that it became entangled. Har vey also again announce! ti at he was In command and read his permit in a loud voice to prove that no one except himself could give legal orders to the fishermen. Tasker, Colj and Harvey at once plunged into the water and started across the stream with the seine. In just one minute all three were floundering in water over their heads. Colo and Tasker are strong swimmers and got safely across. The commander did not fare to well but he finally reached the ban!; on the side from which he started. He then an nounced that his clothinsr was so heavy that he feared that he wuld sink if he attempted to cross. All resuect for the commander in chief was lost and Tas ker mustered up courage to shout "You were in no danger. Don't you know that an empty tub never sinks?"

Address as above. After the net had been carefully stretched across and the "lead line" was known to be on the bottom the "drag" was commenced. The seine was not moved ten feet until it caught on a submerged snag. "Chief snagger get busy," shouted Harvey. "The chief snagger has resigned," re sponded Tasker. Cole finally got the net loose and the seine was carefully hauled down stream, catching every lew moments on obstructions. Tom Doran who was struggling with one brail the upright stick to which the end of the seine is Tom Doran Tried to Coax the Turtle Out of the Net. fastened fell down three times and got stuck in the mud once but finally crawled out on the bank safe and sound and attempted to tell just how the net should be handled. Harvey gave no more commands. The landing was finally made with great difficulty and the net was found to contain two large rocks which weighed 20 pounds apiece, and one mud turtle as big as a bucket which insisted on snapping at every one who approached There were no fish. The turtle was ruthlessly slain by a small boy with a rifle after Tom Doran had tried to coax it out of the net and narrowly escaped being bitten and preparations were made for the second attempt. This time Fred Cole organized a splashing party and he with Doran and Tasker went far down stream and with sticks made a great noise in the water and attempted to drive any unwary fish that might be in seclusion in that part of the stream Into the not. Doran got into deep water and nearly drowned and the splashing expedition was a failure. One of the men holding one of the brails got weak and shouted for help and Dean, brave man that he ia, plunged boldly into the water and re lieved him giving no heed whatever to his stiff collar and nice clean shirt. This "haul" resulted like the other ex cept that there were three rocks In the net and no turtle. The next time the seine was to be carried past the mouth of Berry Creek and the spectators and gentle men of the party gathered at the con fluence of the streams to watch results. Vance, the pilot said that this was an excellent place to catch something but he refrained from giving any definite information as to whether he referred to turtles, snakes, fish or something else. Fish Chases Tasker. Preparations were made for the drag around the mouth of the creek and Tasker got out on the bar k to be ready to help at the fateful moment. Only a short distance had been covered by the fishermen in the water when the corks Tasker Being I rged Finally Fought and Captured the Fish. on top of the seine began to bob furi ously indicating that a fish had hit the net. Both brail holders made a dash for shore with the ends of the seine and just then the Great Event hap pened. A large fish dashed out on the land just at Tasker's feet. "Look out Bob," shouted Doran, "he takes you for an angle worm and he Is apt to bite you," "Don't let him chase ou around in the woods like that," cried Harvey. Underwater Scene, Showing Detail of Perfectly Legal Seine. "That must be one of Dyche's dry weather fish," observed Judge Dana. "When the water gives out he goes up and browses on the pastures along the bank like a cow." Nevertheless the fish was ours. The expedition was a success and while it did not prove that a legal seine is worth a continental to catch fish in Kansas it did demonstrate that Bob Tasker is a brave man and will fight in an emergency when attacked When Supper Time Comes. Several other "hauls" were made and three more turtles were added to the bag but that was all. Then Judge Ferry who has a reputa tion as a masticator of food, shouted, "Let's go to eat! This thing has gone far enough." His suggestion was fol lowed. The fishing party walked wearily back to the automobile1' carrying the perfectly legal seine. Then the wet clothing was taken off and those who had dry made the necessary change and a supper of sandwiches and other things was greatly enjoyed. Major Harvey, late commander In chief was in an ugly frame of mind and after supper he assaulted a mem ber of the party and attempted to throw him into a patch of thistles. The two men struggled on the ground for five or ten minutes until the other guests rescued the combatants and led the gallant Major away and poured cold water on his head. The next day Prof. Dyche cooked the carp for the members of the expedi tion in an attempt to demonstrate his public statement that this particular kind of fish is fit for ford. The men ate it in silence and when pressed for their verdict told the fish warden that it was good. There Is a moral to this story. It is: If you have a notion to buy a seine In accordance with Prof. Dyche's new law don't do it. Give the money to the orphans. RUNS AWAY TO BE I'OIJCKM AX. Three Year Old Edward Quinn In His Borrowed Policeman's Garb. Chicago, July IB. While Papa and Mama Qulnn were absorbed in church services on Sunday morning, little Ed ward, three years old, quietly and soft ly crawled under the pev.-, tottered down the side aisle and ran away. It was Edward's first opportunity to see the world and to realize his young am bition of being a policemrn. When he got over to the Boulevard off Lincoln Park, he watched the continuous chain of puffing automobiles whizz by in open-eyed wonder, He also saw a gigantic blue-clad man with many shining brass buttons who surveyed tlie scene with haughty indifference. i "That's real authority," thought little i Eidward. "Why, the President of the United States could not stand there and do that." Just where his advertures would have ended is only a matter of conjec ture hod not a kind hearted stranger spied the little hero worshiper and taken him to the police station. When he got to police headquarters, he was made himself the center of the inter esting and solicitous bluo-coats. "Say, I wantta be a cop," he said. "Sure you can be a cop at least for a while," said the superior efficer. "Say, boys," to the loungers, "one of you get a cap and a club and we will put a new man on the force." The required paraphernalia was soon produced and quickly donned by the erstwhile civil ian. In a short while, however, his drama was shattered by a telephone call from his father which again tc. k him to the routine of home life. Will Run Against I'ncle Joe. Mattoon, 111., July 15. W. D. Day, supervisor of Xeoga township. Cum berland county, has announced him self as a candidate on the Republican ticket for congress in the Eighteenth district, against "Uncle Joe" Cannon. A, t r v I -fl Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. It isn't very often that the newspa per boys in Topeka have a chance to interview, quote or write anything about John Purcell, superintendent of the Topeka shops of the Santa Fe. Superintendent Purcell is always willing to give out anything which makes a noise like legitimate news and he is never backward about giving t the newspapers all that he thinks is worth public mention but and here Is where the trouble lies Mr. Purcell ha an altogether too conservative idea of what constitutes news. This is the reporters' view. This month the Santa Fe Employees' magazine published an article on the Santa Fe shops. Furthermore it print ed a full page photograph of John Pur cell. And it printed two other pictures of the popular shop superintendent. To the Topeka newspaper men and the outside correspondents who have been trying for years to steal, snap or demand a photograph of Superintend ent Purcell, this feat of the Employees' Magazine is considered remarkable. The writer of the article, Tom Mac Rae, ai.d the editor, Albert Mac Rae, and the staff photographer, Gay Ham ilton, have the sincere and envious con gratulations of the newspaper fratern ity In Topeka. John Purcell, Superintendent of the Santa Fe Shops in Topeka. But it is the belief that these writers resorted to strategy to procure these pictures of the shop superintendent. It is known they didn't get them through a request of Mr. Purcell. They either broke into his house or offered him 100 good freight car carpenters as a bribe. The fact that the author of the story gave a life railroad history of Superin tendent Purcell is nothing unusual. Every man in the Santa Fe shops knows of the wonderful climb made up the railroad ladder by John Purcell. Beginning as he did 27 years ago as an apprentice in the Topeka machine shops three years later landing a job as gang foreman the youngest fore man the Santa Fe has ever kept on the pay roll no shopman with ambition in his soul will fail to tell you of Su perintendent Purcell's work with the Santa Fe and his claim to the position he occupies. No "pull" is recorded on the Purcell ladder. That is one reason the 3,400 shopmen In Topeka will swear by him. Another reason Is that in all railroad matters the shop superintendent is fair and square and honest with his men. He will glare at his men with one eye and wink at them with an other but always in a way that wins him admiration and popularity. Not long ago Superintendent Purcell went out west on the Coast lines of the Santa Fe just on an Inspection trip. And in his wake the newspapers sprinkled California roses and plead with him to "remain in their midst." This, despite the fact that Superintend ent Purcell hates only one thing worse than a newspaper man and that Is an other newspaper man. If the reporters dared, the newspa pers would be filled with good stories centering around Superintendent Pur cell and his work with the men in the largest railroad shops in the world.

(The reader will please admire the courage taken by the writer In telling these secrets). Speaking of the administration of John Purcell as superintend nt of the Topeka shops, the Santa Fe Employees' Magazine printed the following article this month: "Mr. Purcell's record is 'Santa Fe all the way,' he having entered the ma chine shop in Topeka as an apprentice in 18&4 and having continued In the service in various capacities ever since. "In 18S7 he was made a gang fore man, the youngest foreman the Santa Fe ever has had. Later he was made foreman in charge of the east erecting shop, then assistant general foreman, and a ,'ittle later round house foreman. Being transferred to Argentine, Kan., as round house foreman, he was short ly thereafter appointed general fore man and a little later was made as sistant master mechanic. Rising to the position of- master mechanic at Argen tine, he was, some time later trans ferred to Fort Madison to become mas ter mechanic of the Chicago division (now the Illinois and Missouri di visions). In April, 1902, he returned to Topeka as superintendent of shops. "Mr. Purcell was one of the earliest believers In the apprentice school sys tem. In fact, while master mechanic at Shopton. he personally paid for an instructor for his apprentice class and demonstrated the value of such in fraction. "After Mr. Purcell left Shopton there were no more apprentice classes until some years later, when the present splendid organization under the capable supervision of Frank Thomas waa formed. Now the apprentices are a rec ognized adjunct of the mechanical de partment. In fact in Topeka at the present time the apprentices completely overhaul a locomotive every month. "Mr. Purcell, besides being a progress sive shop manager, is active in any project for the welfare of the city, be ing chairman of the manufacturers' committee of the Commercial club. He also has been active throughout the harmony campaign." THREE XEff PEXSIOXERS. Topeka Men Who W1U Retire on Santa Ke Pay.

Kan., July 15 The main line of the Missouri Pacific railroad is see ing more activity now than it has pro bably at any other time since the road was built. All along the line from Kansas City to Pueblo, the road swarms with section men and construc tion gangs, and at every division point, new sidetracks, aggregating miles, are being put in. The sidetrackage at Osawatomie is being just doubled, and at Hosington and other points, new sidings, a mile in length, are being built. There is more than double the ac tivity at Ottawa, and 25 men are now employed in the section gangs with headquarters here. Sometimes the gangs get down to three men each, and ordinarily there are only five or six to a section. The track men are putting in many new ties, leveling and straightening the track and tamping in the ballast. The roadbed is now in excellent con dition and all trains are keeping close to the schedule. LITTLE XEff WORK IX WEST. But Publications Report Considerable Betterments In East.

Several trunk line roads east of Chi cago during the past month have be gun the expenditure of big sums in re construction work. This is taken by New Tork financial papers as a sign of better conditions and a sure sign of better business soon to come. Rail road executive officials in that city have recently given voice to more hopeful comment on the future and some have expressed the belief that big business will be revived In the year to come. Railroad earnings for June for the territory east of the Mississippi river made a better showing than roads in the west, partly because of revived in dustrial business in the east, and this effect is expected to begin to show in the west during August and Septem ber if crop conditions warrant confi dence. Notes from Santa Fe. In the detailed assessment for taxes In the state of Kansas, made public last month, the Tallroad properties make the heaviest showing, and the Santa Fe leads the railroads, with an assessment of $133,938,231, this being one-fourth of the entire public utility assessment of the state. What have our demagogs to say to this? And the road is as sessed, for taxation purposes, on twice the value Governor Stubbs is willing to concede is Its intrinsic value. Fine business.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVEHDIG, JULY 15, 1911 PLACE TOMAN Elected Engineer of Topeka School Kuildings. Takes Place of V. G. Hollaway, an Old Employee. HAVE JUST A QUORUM Seven Members Hold an Execu tive Session. Will Itnsh Kepairs Before School Opens. M. C. Holraan, former city commis sioner of parks, was elected engineer cf school grounds and buildings at an executive session of an adjourned meeting of the school board at the high school last night. Ho will suc ceed W. H. Hollaway, who has tmld the position for nine years. His salary will be $1,200 a year. Samuel F. Davidson was elected storekeeper at a aalary of $30 a month. The changes are effective August 1. Both Mr. Hollaway and L. IX Whittemore, superintendent of the city schools, were requested to leave as the board went into executive session. Mr. Whittemore said that this wan the first time since he has been connected with the schools that such a request had been made, but of course the board had a perfect right to ex clude all that were not members of its body from its executives sessions. Seven members of the baord were present. The election of Mr. Holmiin came up at the last meeting of the hoard in June. Thl stime the ballots five to Ave. This time the ballots showed six to one in favor of Mr. Hol man as follows: For Holman KutJi, Smith. Hniliday, Ltndell. Mrs. McCar ter and Swendson. For Hollaway Mrs. Evans. In requesting that 8.11 non-members cf the board leave before it went into executive session. President S. A. Swendson said: "In the matter of the engineer of the buildings, some perti nent questions will be asked, and therefore I request that all not mem bers of this board leave the room." While none of the board would dis cuss the letting out of Hollaway, tt Is understool that the fight has been made on him a sa matter of economy. Mr. Hollaway said that it was spite w.rk and that the board had been waiting until the majority of those who were against him were present last evening, they wished the matter settled then. The seven members pres ent formed just an exact quorum. George H. Smith, vice president of the building committee, suggested that the matter be deferred until more members were present but his sugges tion was overruled. Repairs on School Buildings. Considerable repairing and remodel ing on eleven of the school buildings was ordered upon the report of M-. Smith. A. C. uughes Co. we.-e awarded the contract of cleaning and re-varnishing the 1,500 desks In the school buildings of Topeka at 50 cents a desk or about $750 total. The following repairs were ordered: Branner school Paint cornice and woodwork, remove ventilator, install cistern to catch overflow from drink ing fountain. Buchanan school Build new toilet rooms and connect with sewer. Clay school Lay new floor on first floor, patch plastering. Grant school Lay new floor in we.-st vestibule, patch plastering in furnace room. Lafayette school Repair plastering, paint rails on porches, lower platform in assembly room.

Tho buildings and grounds engineer will have charge of all of the other work. Bids for four new windows on tho it ld of Lincoln school will be ad vertised for according to word given to the clerk. To complete the filling of the grounds of Washington school the building com mittee was authorized to buy 1,000 more loads of dirt. BRIST0V7 LOSES 38 TO 8 His Sugar Amendment to the Hecipro city Bill Is Rejected. Washington, D. C, July 13. Sena tor Bristow of Kansas, concluded his speech In the senate on Canadian reciprocity and his sugar amendment. Most of the speech was devoted to an exposition of the baleful effects of the "Dutch standard" provision in the tariff law, the senator asserting that its effect is to prevent the importa tion of any sugars light enough in color to be sold direct to the consum er, thus forcing all imported sugar to be sold to the refinera and giving them an absolute monopoly of tha cane sugar market. The senator showed that under modern methods of manufacture tho color of sugar has no relation what ever to Its purity. He asserted that if it were not for the "Dutch standard" provision in the tariff act, it would bo possible to import pure, light colored sugar, which could be bought by tho consumers at a very much lower price than the refined granulated eugar, as the refiners add from 76 to 90 cents per hundred pounds to cover cost of refining and profit, which is exces sively large. An examination of the tariffs of ail the countries of the world ehowed, the senator declared, that only seven of the 117 governments which place an Import duty on sugar use the "Dutch standard" color test, and none of these countries in a manner so harmful to the interests of the consumer as does the United States. The senator point ed out that Holland, which originated tha "Dutch standard," and all the ether Dutch colonies have discarded it since the polariscopic test, and ab eolute test as to purity, was Invented. Tha senator pointed out to tha sen ate that the only way to get this amendment on the statute books would be to add it to the reciprocity bill. This amendment would in no way affect the agreement with Can ada. To the Democrats the senator asserted that if they failed to support the amendment at this time It would demonstrate that they are not so anx ious to afford relief to the consumers now as to cave tariff reduction for an issue in the coming campaign. Before making this assertion, which created something of a sensation, Senator Bristow had had Senator Martin, the Democratic leader, called in to tha senate chamber. At the conclusion of the senator's speech the vote on his amendment was taken, resulting in its rejection 3 8 to 8. Many senators admittedly in favor of the amendment voted against it because they have all along refused to support any amendment to the re ciprocity measure. BUD MARS HURT Aviator Drops Several Hundred Feet at Erie, Pa. No Bones Are Broken and He Will Recover. Erie, July 15. J. C. (Bud) Mars. the aviator, hurt in a fall with his aeroplane yesterday, will recover and will be able to leave the hospital in about ten days. This announcement was made by the attending physician after further examination of the in jured man today. Mars' injuries are not nearly so severe as at first re ported. He has a slight fracture of the skull, which is not serious, but no other bones are broken and beyond a slight nemorrnage oi me lunga which was stopped this morning there are no internal injuries apparent. Because of the accident to Mars' machine the aviation meet has been called off. Mars lost control of hia machine in a flight and crashed from a height of several hundred feet to the ground. The heavy biplane dropped on top of him. The aviator's wife witnessed the ac cident and her condition is serious, due to the shock. Mars had made one successful flight earlier in the afternoon. He was in the air for the second time when the accident occurred. Several thousand spectators were watching him. He circled the field sever?', times at a height of several hundred fuet. Suddenly the machine made a dip downward and Mars wis seen to jerk at something In an effort to regain control. It was a futile attempt, how ever, and an instant later the biplane struck the ground. The machine was completely wrecked and Mars lay un der it. He was covered with blood and at first it was believed he was dead. Doctors Boughton and Gigiloti, w ho were present as spectators, were soon at his side and he was carried to an improvised field hospital. After his first flight. Mars fixed sev eral levers on the machine. He start ed the second flight a few- minutes be fore 5 o'clock. He had not been in the air long when, for some reason, he started to descend. The machine rocked badly for a time and then shot downward with terrific velocity. The amazed spectators stood still for a moment. There was a scream and Mrs. Mars, the birdman's wife, rushed toward the wrecked machine. Before she reached her husband's side, how ever, she was overcome &nt". was car ried from the field. That Mars knew atmospheric condi tions were unfavorable before he start ed on the flight, was declared by the aviator's wife. "Before starting on th- flight," she said. "Bud came to me and said that something was wrong with the atmos phere at the lower end cf the field. "The day was ideal End I did not have any fear for him. I was sur prised, however, to notice that after he ascended he flew directly to the lower end of the field where he had found conditions unfavorable. VThe next moment I saw him work ing desperately with the controller. I started forward, shut rry eyes and screamed. I don't remember what happened next. The d jctors tell me he is very badly hurt." Everybody reads the State Journal.

A facsiml'e copy of the front side of letter written by Richard Ryan to Richard Ballincrer, copy hav ing been made by Miss Abbott, accord ing to testimony.

Mail Order Frauds Find Ready Tictims. GIVE UP THEIR ALL One Crippled Boy Who Uncov ered Fake Scheme. Truck Farmer Who Bought Bogus Medicine. Could someone determine the num ber of thousands of dollars which To peka people have invested in fraudu lent mail order schemes in the last 20 years, It would make a showing that would startle the minds of advocates of home patronage. Scarce a day passes that some person does not call at the federal building to inquire of the standing of some worthless company in which they have invested money. Usually the persons who contribute their savings to these get rich quick concerns are aged men ard women and persons of modest means who feel deeply the loss of every dol'ar they have invested. The scores of stenographers, clerks, school teachers and day labor ers are the principal victims in these fraudulent transactions. But not one of these persons ever thought to in quire of the stai.ding of some com pany before they invested their money and became anxious about dividends. Much of the money ha-: gone to the officers of fake mining and promotion schemes But the quack doctors have reaped a harvest in Topeka that would bring tears to the eyes o" local pill merchants. Only yesterday a grey haired man, who owns a little truck patch near town, went to the office of A. K. Rodg ers, the postmaster, to inquire as to the affairs of a Kansas City medical com pany. It his hand the grey haired man held a draft which he had sent to the company and w hich had lieo i returned to him by the Kansas City authorities. For months this man had paid the foreign doctors for treatment that did never a dollar's worth of good. One day the government found that the Missouri doctors were making im proper use of the mail. A fraud order was issued and when ihe concern's mail was opened thousands of dollars were returned to victims living in every part of the country. Last fall a Topeka bey a cripple for life uncovered a fake promotion scheme in New York. He had received a block of stock in the concern as a birthday present. Gradually the boy added a little money to his Investment. One day he reasoned that the com pany was not paying the promised dividends. He took the matter up di rect with federal authorities in Wash ington. Two weeks later, on evidence produced by the Topeka youth, one of the most gigantic promotion companies in the country was raided. But the company had already harvested its grain. It was ahead of Ihe game sev eral million dollars. Every day people go to the banks and postoffice, where they buy drafts and money orders payable to unheard of corporations and companies for blue sky stock certificates. Invariably these same people go to the district at torney's office a few months later to ask questions about the return of their hastv investment. But Ihey seldom get it. Only recently a Topeka woman in vented $2,500 on a mortgage covering a tract of land on an Indian reserva tion. The person who secured the loan disappeared. A few days ago the woman was horrified when she re ceived a letter from the government stating that her mortgage was not worth a dollar, as Indian land cannot be mortgaged. The $2,500 represented the woman's life saving; and she in vested the money because the mort gage called for a high ii.terest rate. Sometimes a person says nothing when caught in the net of a fraudulent promotion scheme. This is true of the CONTROLLER. BAY SCANDAL- DEEPENS. said by her to be an absolute copy or the postscript to the important letter, The President has denied any knowl wealthier class, who can often stand the loss without material embarrass ment. Not so with the poorer classes. They must tell someone. So day after day people go to the federal building to unburden their sorrows and be wail their hasty action. But their sav ings are gone and Toneka's list of vic tims grows with each succeeding week. SHOWMAN HITS PEEPER. Young Farmer Suffers from Fractured SkuU.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1911 5 a mi ihvemtkhi. VXCLE SAM SAXCnOXS BREWERS' CONGRESS. CUlizing Coal Oil for Fuel for Heating and Cooking;. Topeka has natural gas and it is probable that it will soon have crude oil, but It remains for the Little Won der (las Maker, a new invention, lo cated at 419 Kansas averue, to fill the bill. This little article surely fills the bill when It cornea to heat. As a fuel aver it absolutely solves the fuel problem, as it burns ccal oil. which may be bought by barrel for about one-fourth the price of any other fuel. Besides using a cheap fuel, it burns 8r per cent of the oil. instead of 13 or 20 per cent, as other fuels do. It makes a clear and exceedingly hot Maze. With two burners turned on at full blast yesterday, the stove con sumed two gallons of co.:i oil in eleven hours thirty minutes. With coal oil at cents per gallon, the fuel for one day, with ordinary cooking, costs less than 2 cents. When one thinks of burning two burners at full blast from morning till night for less than 10 cents, it seems almost incredible. Be sides its cheapness, it makes a hotter blaze than the natural gas and is no more work or trouble. The thing most impressive in looking over the burner is its simpleness of construction. It may be placed in any etove in a few moments and in live minutes one can have breed baking in the oven. In fact, the only thing against this burner is the liability of getting too hot an oven 'mtil one has become accustomed to its use, the same as natural gas. T. J. Crook and J. P. Woolsey, the representatives of the Burner Com pany, are here for a few days and say they have had phenomenal success with their successful l ttH bHrner. They state that they have orders for the installing of burners in furnaces, both of many homes and business houses. Many business men, seeing what a good proposition It Is bound to be. have bought the manufacturing rights of states and counties all over the United States. Taking everything into considera tion, it is the best proposition that has been in Topeka for a long time and must be seen at 419 Kansas avenue to be appreciated. WAR AEROPLANES ARE SAFE. Present TyJe of (inn Vst-less Against FljiiiK Aircraft. Washington. July 13. Critical ob servation of the Hights daily bein;? made at College park, near this city by army aviators, has confirmed army and navy ordnance experts in the opinion that with the present type of ordnance it would practically be im possible to bring down an aeroplane high in air and in full flight, save by a chance shot. The musket would be entirely useless, its range being only about 3.000 feet when any considerable elevation is given the weapon. The only nope of the ordnance ex perts is the development of a gun on the lines of one now beging made in Germany for use against aeroplan.'s only. This gun of great length, shoots a light six pound shell three and a half miles, but the novel and promising feature is the use of a compound in the shell which leaves a trail of dense black smoke. This is expected to en able the gunners to find the range of an aeroplane. I MANY WRECKS ARE REPORTED. Interstate Commerce Commission's New Order Is Generally Obeyed. Washington, July 15. The appal ling toll of human life exacted by American railroads is retlectedl in the fact that the interstate commerce com mission receives daily from officials of Interstate carriers an average of thirty telegraphic reports of accidents involv ing the loss of one life or more. The reports are made in response to an order of the commission which be came effective July 1. Generally the railroads are complying with it. 1ETECTIVE MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT.

It was while the little Casiiey girl was yiaitlnx her at her homo only a short distance from the Pennsylvania rail road near Fairmont that the incident occurred. While attempting to cross the tracks unaware of the danger, Martelle Cas key stepped in front of the engine, then less than 100 feet away. The en gineer attempted to stop but was un able to do so. Just at the moment that it seemed certain that the tram would strike her. Nettie seized the child. sprang from the tracks and rolled with her down the steen em bankment.

Occasionally, especially when the city department is ilushfnrf ita hydrants crowds of boys and girls, sometimes in their bathing suits, more frequently in their street clothes, run into the full force of the water in order to enjoy its cooling touch.

This is the second action to ha brought in this county under the criminal statute. It is alleged that Perry recently left his wife and three daughters and that since that time tho wife and mother has been compelled to provide fiie necessities of the family. She was assisted by her parents and it was largely through the persuasion of tho woman's father that the action was brought. The three daughters are Margaret, aged 10 years; Ruth, aged S years; and Susie, who is 2 years old. Tt is charged in the complaint that Perry, who earns a good salary, failed to provide the necessities for the home and that the mother and children were often denied the care and atten tion which the husband and father should have given the family. The case has not yet been set for trial and will probably not be heard for several days. It will be the first case under this section of the statutes to be tried in Judge Garver's court.

BRIDGES GETS HIS GIRL Mildred Is Delivered to the Custody t f Her Eather. Chicago, July 15. An echo of the trial of Evelyn Arthur See, of "absolute life" notoriety, was ehard in the juvenile court today when Stephen Bridges asked that his daughter Mildred be taken from Mrs. Bessie Clingen. a probation officer. It was for the abduction of Mildren that See was convicted. Bridges told the court that Mrs. Clingen was an unfit custodian of his daughter, having allowed the lat ter to read "absolute life" and to visit See's lawyer during the recent trial. Mrs. Bridges also was in court. Bridges who desires to regain control of Mildred himself and who is suing for a divorce from his wife added that the latter was not a fit person to care for his daughter.

La Follette Wool Bill Will Be Passed Vp to President. Washington, July 15. If Senators Smoot and Crane Republicans and Williams, Democrat, prove true proph ets. President Taft will have to solve one of the hardest problems of his ad ministration before the adjournment of the special session of congress. Ac cording to these three, all of whom talked with the president today the senate through a combination of Democrats and insurgents will pass the La Follette bill revising the wool schedule of the present tariff. The house already has passed a wool bill which differs materially from that drawn by Senator La Fol lette, but according to the same unof ficial prophets, it would accept the latter measure rather than get no bill at all. President Taft It is pointed out, thenwould be face to face witn one of t'lie most difficult questions that has come before him. He has called the present wool schedule "in defensible." The tariff board has promised to fur nish data for a scientific revision of that schedule by December and in many of his later speeches the presi dent has declared that he opposed any revision not based upon the Investiga tion of the board. He has placed him self In opposition to what he has termed "unscientific" and haphazard "tariff tinkering," Indicating plainly that he would prefer congress to wait until the tariff board has made its re port. The president, it was said to day, has confided to few people his future course of action if a wool re vision bill should be put up to him. It is believed, however, he would veto the LaFollette bill and in his veto message make a defense to the country for such action. It was said late today that the regular Republicans might make an effort to counteract the effect of the movement by introducing a bill of their own but they have little hope of suc cess.

The rapidity with which Great Britain and Japan moved to solve a problem that at one time threatened the arbi tration proposals has brought much satisfaction to Mr. Taft and Mr. Knox.

BUSINESS IS LEGAL. It la Only Restraint of It by Trusts That Is I'nlawful. Washington, July 15. Attorney General Wickersham has decided that it is not unlawful for the United States to deal with the corporations recently declared by the supreme court of the United States to be illegal combines. The question came up in connection with contracts awarded to the Stan dard Oil company fcr a year's supply of oil and gasoline for the military ut partment of the east.

Umpires Swearlngon and Semon. Information from the city officials to day states that the budget being pre pared by Fire Chief Wilmarth for 1912 will include a fire protection ttr the North side. One of the features of this will be a fire steamer to be place permantently in station No. 1. This means that the station will be enlarged to make room for th? steamer and the extra men, horses and equipment which mist accompany it. This has been talked of for some time, but nothing definite has been decided until lately. The matter has been especially agitated ever since the Forbes mills burnt to the ground a year ago in May The fire called at tention to the fact that nearly $1,000,000 worth of milling and other property was insulficiently pmte-jted. i'hii called for the installati"! f aduit'onal hydiants in the mill district, but still came tbe cry for a pressure steamer. Hitherto in case of a serious fire re ouiring a steamer, considerable delay is occasioned. The nejrest steatnti is at the general headquarters, a mile away from the First ward. In the case of the Forbes mill fire it is thought that much might have been saved had a steamer been at the stati-jn when the fire broke out. Not long ago a small fire broke out just north of the O.ntral Sash and Lloor company's plant. The blaze wa-: put out before much damage was done, out the incident caned direct attention to the danger of the plant, with its great quantities of raw lumber and other inflammable material catching.and what a serious manace to the whole First ward such a fire would be. un protected as the North side is at pres ent. While the details of the plans for bet ter fire protection have not been work ed out, ar.d the problem of enlarging the station to accommodate the engine and equipment is a difficult one, it is now a settled fact that in some way or other next year will see the much needed improvements added. Notes and Personals. The latest rage on the North side is the card baseball game. It is played with pasteboard cubes and diagrams to represent players and the field. It is said to be as absorbing as the real thing, at least in a parlor. It is known as "corn-flake" baseball. This game was the amusement at a party given last evening by Mrs. Frank R.

WimiSSS MOirJL f the v 'f s jLighthoczse hi i sill 111 V' ;l 4 I in? 6 i lu 1 5 CcZ&ZJe Mode f at j prove the Columbia river above a the Dalles and Ir. this way open a Ions stretch of the Upper Columbia and Snake rivers to navi gation. If this Is accomplished it will be an important link in the great scheme of inland waterways. Upon this arm of the sea have floated the ships that were with Dewey at Ma nila and with Sampson at SuntiaKo. The commerce of the world enters its waters. Cargoes of tea, lumber, flour anl wheat pass over it and its foreign trade averages twelve million dollars a year. The Columbia is the only fresh water harbor on the Northwest coast of our states. With its tributaries it drains a region larger than the com bined areas of New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. More than this, it is the scenic wonder of the Northwest. Its frorge Is stupendous and Its mighty current puts to shame even the Mis sissippi, to which in size it is a close second. Though this mighty river is a thriv ing rival of the railroads Its history calls to every traveler on Its waters. People this stream with Juan de Fuca, Bering, Gray and a long roll of Span ish adventurers and the Indians that preceded them, and every headland will speak of thrilling incidents. It was in 1S05 that travel-stained and weary Lewis and Clark, those doughty soldiers, reached the mouth of the Co lumbia after traveling 4,000 miles from their starting point. They had crossed the Rockies and traveled along the Missouri. After reaching the Co lumbia, they passed th?e winter in the camp on tr.e Oregon side at a place they called Fort Clatsop after a neigh boring tribe of Indians. Captain Gray had already entered the river's mouth and gave it the name of his noble .ship, but it remained for Lewis and Clark to influence the United States to follow up the claim based on Gray's discovery and to hold the country west of the Rockies and south of the 49th parallel. One other name this mighty stream has borne and this is "the Oregon." Its origin is shrouded In mystery one of the many that envelope this stream but it is known that Carver used the word in describing a river which he said the Indians told him flowed to the West and was so named. Jefferson used the word Oregon In his instructions to Lewis and Clark, but it was really Bryant's "Thanatop sis," that brought the name "Oregon" into notice. Columbia or Oregon, It presents many phases of wild nature. The usual trip for Bight-seers is to the coast where is the old fur trading post, Astoria, and up the river to the Dalles, but there Is a delightful stretch In Canada where the river winds between the foothills of the Rockies and the Selklrks. In one place it widens into one of its mother lakes, Lake Wlndemere. Just below are salmon spawning grounds where twenty years ago the Kootenay In dians used to spear many a thou sand fish In one night, but this has ceased since the salmon industry has been carried on so vigorously near- Its mouth. Another fascinating stretch of the Upper Columbia is where it widens into Arrow Lakes, here the scenery reminds one of the Scotch lakes. The historian will wish to take a boat to Astoria and follow the course made memorable by Lewis and Clark and agents of John Jacob Astor. This part of the river, though not as pic turesque as the Upper Columbia, teems with history. At Its mouth the river is seven miles wide and its tide is so great It can be felt one hundred and fifty mlle3. There are many re minders of a hundred years ago among them Tongue's Point, Chinook Point, Gray's Bay and Astoria. The view from the lighthouse at Cape Disappointment is superb. In the dis- MUlil20Z72&22. JSes-LztifczZ an Z7ie CojiZznenZ' tance are the government jetties, and the lightship far out to sea, while the waters tumble over the bar at the mouth in a series of eddies and whirlpools. Fort Columbia, at the river's mouth, i3 equipped with the newest of heavy marine ordnance and a short distance away is Fort Clatsop where Lewis and Clark camped. When they left, feel ing the uncertainty of returning East alive, they left notices with the In dians and in various places describing their Journey and what they had seen. It is a curious fact that one of these in after years reached Philadelphia by way of China. At this end, too, the river is not alone associated with Lewis and Clark. At old Fort Van couver, Grant, Sheridan and other army officers were stationed. Grant was there in 18 52 and Sheridan com manded the fort In 185 6 and took part In two Indian uprisings. Just as the Columbia near Its mouth is associated with history, every one agrees that the scenery of the Upper Columbia cannot be duplicated even by the palisades of the Hudson or Mississippi. A succession of sur prises continues for one hundred and seventy-five miles to the Dalles. It Is beyond this that most of the Improve ments will be made and that are con sidered necessary, for. Just as this great river In 1805 was c waterway for savages, so today It is Important for civilized man. The canoes of the Indian have vanished and steamboats have taken their place. At the en trance to the Gorge one catches a first glimpse of the titanic forms that border on each side of the river. It Is also apparent why the Cas cade Mountains are so named. Down the rocky sides of the huge balastic projections that stand up sheer from the stream are numerous beautiful little falls. They pour from every crevice, often from the mountain tops and In one place at least twelve of these cascades with their foaming spray can be seen glistening like snow wreaths. Some send down tiny threads of foam, others are beauties hidden In evergreen nooks, and still others spread over broad ledges like veils. The most beautiful of these Is Mult nomah Falls, 800 feet high, a cas cade In two drops, long, filmy and falling with wonderful grace and gen tleness. Other noted falls are Bridal Veil, Latourelle, Horse Tall and One onta. Caps Horn Is the most prominent projection on the Columbia banks. It consists of pillars of 500 to 2.000 feet high. The steamer passes close to this rock and by Its side looks diminutive. Further on Is Castle Rock, and Im mediately following Is the odd Bridge of the Gods. From abutments on the mountain sides one can understand that the Indians may have some foun dation for their story that there once existed a natural bridge which spanned the river. The Indians say they were able to cross the stream dryshod and account for the disap pearance of the bridge In various ways. One legend tells that a dusky maiden on the Oregon side was stolen by her enemies on the other Bide of the river. When her friends pursued, the Indian tried to escape across the bridge and in revenge the gods let the bridge fall. This Is but one of several fanciful tales. Scientists think that there may have been an uplift across the stream, which If composed of lava, would In the process of time, be so eaten away that the water would run through and thus make a nat ural brldgre. Nearby this are the queer submerged trees that were In th water when Lewis and Clark saw the stream. They are evidently sub merged forests, stand In their natural position and are twenty to thirty-five feet high. They are supposed to be caused by landslides from the moun tains damming the river. That some upheaval took place la evidenced by the Cascades, which are now passed by means of a lock. This stretch of river has been called Rob ber's Roost because In early times the Indians annoyed every exploring party that tried to pass. From the Cascades to the Great or Celllo Falls the scen ery Is of superlative degree, for the river has eaten Its way by means of rapids, falls and whirlpools through the blackest of basalt. The Great Falls are a drop of forty feot through the dark, sombre looking lava and the water falls as If for a thousand miles above It had been nerving it self for the ordeal. At the Dalles the river begins to compress Into a nar row channel. An Interesting phase of the Colum bia River Is the old Indian burial grounds. Many of these were situ ated on islands near the Great Falls and years ago the graves contained many pieces of pottery and Indian or naments. Another curious Indian cemetery existed for years on the bank of the river. Time and progress of civilization have changed this old spot, but early explorers found vaults over the doors of which were painted col ored totems In the form of animals. Many kettles, baskets and medicine bags have been taken from these graves and remains of skulls show that this tribe had some method of flattening the skull similar to that employed by the Cliff dwellers. A trip can be taken up the navi gable Upper Columbia and back by boat in one day, or the Journey can be made both by boat and rail. Either way one enjoys unconventional na ture, holding forth in wild, riotous, and stormy moods. No softening hand has changed the savage cliffs, change ful waters, dangerous falls and dainty cataracts. The tremendous intensity of this river looks as if it migtit last forever, no matter how much com merce may pass over Its waters. The bar at its mouth was long ago robbed of its terrors and the lighthouses throw their gleams across this stretch which once was considered so dan gerous. The salmon fishers with their nets and fish wheels now ply their trade along the banks near which Lewis and Clark once made a salt camp. It is an interesting business this salmon catching, but that Is another story. The mighty Columbia Is first and always a scenic wonder. Once it was the storm center in Anglo American politics on account of Inde cision regarding the International boundary. Today, it is a stream rich In historic associations and vast in economio resources. If the now dan gerous parts can be made safe, there seems little limitation in the part it will play In the scheme of inland waterways. RICE PAPER WITHOUT RICE. CHE rice paper of China has no rice in its composition. This curiously brittle, pure white ma terial used for the marvelous draw ings of the Chinese artists is manu factured from the pith of a tree pe culiar to Formosa. The first paper was not made of raw cotton, nor was It made by the Chinese. Rag paper was made in Arabia more than ten centuries ago, and the crusaders brought the industry to Europe, where the first paper manufactory was estab lished In the last years of the thir teenth century.

The ascent from the hot, barren titles of pure gold lie hidden under 10,000 The situations of these highland cities, in their settings of mountain scenery are singularly beautiful. They suffer, however, from the disadvan tages of semi-isolation and slow, as well as difficult, inter-communication. Huaraz ls a typical illustration. It leras raise their hoary heads. The entrance to the valley from the coast Is by a pass 13,000 feet above sea level and the exit from It to the east through another at 15,000 feet eleva tion. A river, which rises in one of the remarkable mountain lakes of Peru, flows through the valley and waters a considerable cultivated area. The city ls built of stone, after the usual Spanish-American style, with a central plaza, a cathedral, and a few public buildings. Through the valley are dotted here and there a number of smaller towns and pueblos, bringing its total population up to about 10,000, the greater part of whom are Cholo Indians. Half the valley's inhabitants live In Huaraz. The people of the outlying villages are engaged in agriculture. Those of the city gain a living by mining and commerce with the exterior. The means of communication with the coast and points on the eastern slope ls over difficult mountain paths, and burdens are carried by mules and llamas. In these mountain valleys great herds of alpacas, vicunas, and llamas stands in t valley 100 miles in lengths are pastured. The last named are as and from two to five miles in (common a sight as pariah dogs in the breadth. On either side the cordil- mof ussil of India. In the days of 4 li 'jit. r si s,-. the Incas the llama was the sole beast of burden and to this day It ls the surest and most useful in the mountain regions. Lima ls an attractive city archi tecturally, but Its location on the coast makes It uncomfortably hot during the greater part of the year, although the jiimato ls unusually healthy. It ls distinctly a cosmopoli tan city Italians, Germans, French, Austrlans, Chinamen and British are found there in considerable numbers, and among them a sprinkling of Americans, who make up for their lack of numbers by the importance of the Interests which they represent. The Peruvian of the capital ls much the same as the better class of Latin Americans elsewhere a dignified, genial, cultured, and hos pitable gentleman. The Peruvians are Justly proud of the fact that Lima contains the oldest university in the New World and one of the finest libraries of Spanish literature. The influence of this seat of learning is easily traceable in the native resi dents of the city. Among the better class of the In terior towns, mestisos, or persons with a mixture of Indian blood, are in the majority. They are generally fairly well educated. Intelligent, and eager for knowledge of the outer world. However they display a marked lack of refinement and want of the ap preciation of the comforts of life. Even when the ability to do otherwise exists, they commonly live In a primi tive manner and without regard to cleanliness and hygiene. Indeed, were it not for the extreme healthfulness of the mountain climate, the Andean cities would be centres of disease. De spite their courtesy and hospitality. this distaste for water makes the Peruvian gentleman of the Interior unattractive to Anglo-Saxons. The Cholo Indians are a simple, docile people, although semi-savage in the remoter districts. They have the usual characteristics of mountaineers, poetical temperament, tinged with melancholy and tainted with supersti tion. They are extremely hardy and courageous. A Cholo will make long and fatiguing Journeys, abstaining al together from food for days at a time, sustained almost solely by the cocoa leaves, which are chewed In the same manner as the Kaffirs of South Africa eat the kola nut under similar circumstances. Use of Dollar Bills. N some of the Western communi ties of the United States there ls a decided superstition against dollar bills, as there is a superstition against two-dollar bills In the East. The World's Fair at St. Louis helped In popularizing the small bills In the Middle West, but silver dollars are still used to a great extent- It has been only within the past two or three years that there has been much of a call for bills of small denomina tion in the Middle West. In Washington, D. C, silver dol lars are quite rare, the bills doing the greater portion of the circulating. The government has to search the world over for the ingredients of bills. Much of the paper fibre is linen rag from the Orient. The silk comes from Italy and China. The blue Ink is made from German or Canadian cobalt. The black ink is made from Niagara Falls acetylene gas smoke, and most Honesty is among the many admir able traits of the Cholo.

Queer Medicines. LL kinds of animal products are employed in the manufacture of medicines in this countries. One of these medicines ls pepsin, which is ex tracted from the stomach of a hog. From the glands of the musk deer is extracted a typhoid fever remedy; from the whale comes numerous ointments and a medicine is taken from the liver of the cod fish. Bees furnish a wax that is used very extensively as a remedy. In England there is a tinc ture made from the wood ants, and It is claimed to be valuable as a cure for rheumatism and gout. The lady bug, prepared in a certain manner, according to the homeopaths, is a cure for the worst kind of toothache. Nearly every animal known is used In some form or other in the manu facture of a medicine, and insects also play their part. In the old days herbs were used to a great extent especially by the home doctors, but this class of treatment has almost gone and new fields are being searched.

PERSONAL TAX LOSS Officers Failed to Find as Much as Last Year. Farm Improvements Show a Healthy Increase. Go to the records in the office of Samuel G. Zimmerman, county clerk, and you will find that even the lowly assessors found Topeka's building im provements for the year ending March 1, 1911, aggregated $l,326.9u5, exclusive of railroad and other common carrier and public service improvements. To the great gain for building improve ments aa shown in the first statement, must be added $526,084 to cover the im provements of public service corpora tions. This statement brings the total Topeka city Improvements for tne ye?r to $1,753,039 the greatest gain in the history of the city. Under the present law all property is assessed at actual value. Consequently when an asses-sor takes the value of a town lot, he also gets the value of the property on this strip of ground. The figures secured in 1910 are compared with those gathered this year and the net gain this year over last year rep resents the building activities of the city, as reported to the assessors. In tiie 1910 statement, the value of &U town lots and their improvements was $30,249,940. while the showing this year is $31,576,895. .Properties of public service corporations In Topeka were valued at $4,557,836 a year ago. But the returns this year show a valuation of $5,083,940. A comparison of the figures for 1910 and 1911, show the aggregate improvements to have been $1,853,039. While the assessors madi a good showing on the county's realty, they had but little success with the per sonal property column. In Topeka city the assessors overloc.kei $184,940 in personal property that was found a year ago. This failure tj dig up pri vate bank accounts and collateral se curity will somewhat offset the tre mendous showing in private improve ments. In the county the total gain in the personal property and real estate is $2,053,145 over the 1910 showing. Topeka township showed an increase for the year of $68,650 in personal building improvements, r gain of $80. 750 personal property, and railroad Improvements aggregated $7,001. On farm lands, there was an increase in the township of $5,560. These Hems Increased the valuations in the town ship $161,961 in 12 monlhs. Auburn township shows a falling off in farm improvements of $21,820. In fact, the township should show a gain of more than $8,000. The trouble oc curred when the 1910 assessor made a mistake of an even $30,000 li his foot ings a year ago and the township did not feel the loss until this year. The tabulated records for the coun ty's showing were not completed until today.

TB.E TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1911. Wayside Wisdom. Fools and their back hair are Boon parted. It Is a poor rule that works no rood either way. As this world goes, It Is easy enough to get around. Leisure la necessary for the Lenten repentance of the average man. The cheapest way to wipe out a debt is to pay the fellow back in his own coin. The man who loses his head cannot be trusted with any other portion of hi" anatomy. The politician, liko a good Christian, is happy when he can make his call ing and election sure. Hospitality is the virtue of the poor, the luxury of the rich, and the oppor tunity of the Impecunious. The dressmakers have done more than the preachers to keep the churches full at Easter. It has been remarked that there is no rest for the wicked, and very little for the good when the wicked are about. THE IDEA! "What's the use of worrying about being so tanned?" "I'm afraid my neck isn't tanned quite low enough to meet my gowns. OT FOR HIM. INCIDENTAL. "Swift takes in all of the ball games, prizefights, bowling matches and, in fact, everything in the sporting line." "Isn't the old reprobate married?" "Yes, he is, but he doesn't let it in terfere with his pleasures. It Is Just a Bide line." OT thunder!" exclaimed the man who had been reading his news paper on the open car, "but these things make me furious:" "Murders?" asked the man on his right. ".Murder? No. It's graft." "Oh, I see.

Issued an order to the effect that no beast should drink from a certain spring. Complaint was soon made that the horses were not obeying the law, and when called up for explanation they said: "But we are not beasts. We are ani mals." The law waa then amended to make beasts of animals, but word came that the cows were dodging the edict. When an Investigation was called for the ex cuse was: "We have horns and cannot there fore be classed with the tigers, wolves and hyenas." The edict was then made to include both beasts and animals, but com plaint was made that buzzard and crow and other birds still resorted to the spring to slake their thirst. "Why, of course we do," was the reply. "Tou can't make a bird either a beast or animal." "That is true," replied the Lion; and the law was changed to Include everything that drank water. This seemed to hit the case for awhile, but It waa found that the tigers, wolves, hyenas, foxes and others had gone back to the spring in great numbers. "Isn't the law plain to you all?" asked the Lion. "It la, O, King," was answered. "The law says anything, that drinks water." "They why defy it?" "We don't. Instead of drinking water we lap it!"

In these new affidavits it is charged th While Mr. Love's contention is that he is chiefly actuated by love for his child in his suit for divorce, he has never tried to see the chi d since he left her with her mother in Lngland when she was seven months old. Although he spent February and March of this year in Chicago and p Omitted on the stand that there iv'as nothing to prevent his coming East to New York, where, so far as his wife is concerned, he could have seen his child he made no attempt to do so u that time or at any other before or since. In spite of his allegations in his bill n gainst his wife that because she pmnkes cigarettes and is addicted to the use of drugs she is therefore not n fit person to have the custody of the child, he himself encouraged her in the use of cigarettes, buying large tins of them for her at his clubs, and that his only knowledge that she Is addicted to the use of drugs is based on the fact that on one or two oc casions during a year's illness she took a sleeping potion, whether at the ad vice of a physician he has admitted he did not know.

Of far greater interest, in that it serves to bring forward a new phase of a wife's desire to hold a reputation of being happily married, is Mrs. Love's own story of her efforts to de ceive every one in this respect. As is the case In New York state since a newly enacted law went into effect, it is not possible in Oregon to obtain ac cess to testimony taken in divorce ac tions. It was from Mrs. Love's coun sel, who returned from Baker City last week, that a look at the transcript of the court procedure was had and therein was found Mrs. Love's own story of her desire to make the world believe she was a happily married woman. Love's Meteoric Rise. When the engagement was an nounced, only three and a half years ago, few persons In society from New York to Chicago did not know the salient facts in Mr. Love's career up to that time. He had married, in 1900, Miss Minerva Cool Pierce, known as one of the most beautiful women in the exclusive Lake Forest set in Chicago. A few months later it was announced he had become chief broker for James H. and W. H. Moore, Chi cago's most spectacular and richest stock market operators of that time. As chief broker for the famous Moore brothers. Love speedily became prominent on the floor of the stock exchange in New York as well as !n Chicago, his admission to the New York exchange dating back to Decem ber, 1900. It was therefore of no less interest in the East than in Chicago the announcement in August. 1903, that "the millionaire stock broker." as he was then supposed tOjbe, was about to sue his wife for divorce, naming his own cousin as co-respondent. Causes a Man's Death. In September, 1903, within less than a month of the announcement of the divorce action, Love, while engaging in a game of polo in Chicago, acci dentally caused the death of Nathan Swift, a son of Louis F. Swift, the multi-millionaire packer, by striking him with a polo ball driven by his mallet. In .Tune. 19 04. Mrs. Love began a divorce action charging her husband' with extreme cruelty, and exactly .50 days later she obtained a decree, with an allowance of $50,000 alimony. It was the disclosures made at this time that later caused Marjorie Burnes friends to try to dissuade her from marrying Love. Love's courtship of beautiful Miss Burnes began in November, 1904. within three months of his first wife's obtaining a decree, but the opposition of her relatives and friends sufficed to keep her from marrying Love for almost three whole years. It was on October 3C, 1907, they were married and it was announced that the new Mrs. Love was heiress to an estate valued at $800,000. It was out of a clear sky that news of the suspension of the Wall street firm of Sidney C. Love Co., one of the biggest brokerage houses in the country, became public. This first announcement was made January 25. 1909. The next day a Chicago dispatch told a story of tre mendous losses, exceeding $1,500,000, sustained by Love, who had been spec ulating on the wrong side of the mar ket. With the published details, which showed that the broker had seen more than $500,000 a month swept away for three months of wild plunging in the grain and stock markets, customers of the house began to show uneasiness, and Immediately Love issued a state ment declaring that Judge William H. Moore, whose protege he still was, would personally guarantee all ac counts with the firm. Three days lat er Love sold his seat on the New York stock exchange for $72,500 and W11 street knew the rumors of his losses were true. On their baby's second birthday, February 15 of this year, Mrs. Lova began suit for a divorce In the West chester county court. The next day Ixive filed his suit in Baker City, charging his wife with desertion and demanding that the daughter be given to his mother. ABSTRACTERS NAME OFFICERS.

Ball, the man who has served two years barring about one month in the county jail rather than pay alimony to his di vorced wife 3s apparently no nearer rreeaom today than he was the moment he entered the prison unless either the attorneys for the divorced wife relent or Ball himself concedes another point. It appears that there is little prospect that either will concede though the county officers would be giad to see some arrangement made whereby Ball could go tree. It has cost the county nearly $500 to keep Ball in custody the past two years. The cost will continue at the rate of about $225 per year as long as he is a prisoner. Recently Jake Ball of Pittsburg, father of the prisoner, called upon the attorneys for the former Mrs. Ball and offered to pay the costs and the attor ney fees in the case. He has the cash the real money and was ready to put it up the moment that Peter was re leased but that was the best he would do. Not one dollar would the senior Ball appropriate fo.- alimony. The offer was checked up to Attorney Cullison rep resenting Ball's former wife. '"I can't accept that offer," he said. "Why, I'd open myself to a charge of bribery if I should collect my fee, set tle a case and allow my client to go without recognition such as is propos ed in this offer. We can't approve the release of Ball on this proposition. We must have a payment on the alimony. Will Not Give Bond. There the matter hangs. The senior Ball will not pay on the alimony. The iunior Ball who once said he would not pay it. now says he will but he will have to be given an opportunity to get out and earn it. The court has offered to parole Ball and give him his liberty, allowing him to pay the judg ment in installments but requires that he furnish bond to insure the pay ments. This Ball says he cannot do. The original decree against Ball pro vided that he should pay $600 alimony. This has been shaved down, however, until about $200 would settle the case. Ball, however, has not complied with the order of the court and is in jail for contempt in his failure to ao so. RAIN HELPS CORN CROPS. Kaffir Corn and Cane Will Be Planted in Graham County.

FIND HJffl SHORT Leavenworth's Telephone Man ager's Accounts Muddled. J. R. Reed, Formerly of Wash ington, Is in Jail. SHORTAGE IS S1,S09 No Reason for Theft From Com pany Is Known. Confesses Embezzlement Begin ning Early in March. Leavenworth, Kan., July 15. When confronted by J. H. Bliss, jr., of Au rora, 111., auditor for the People's Home Telephone company with a charge of embezzlement. James B. Reed, manager of the company, con fessed. The shortage is $1,809. A warrant was served upon him a few minutes later. He is now in the coun ty jail. There was no suspicion of any crookedness in Reea s accounts, and the defalcation became known only when the auditor entered upon his regular inspection of the books Wed nesday morning. It quickly became apparent that something was wrong. As the investigating proceeded the size of the amount missing grew. The proof of crookedness was so absolute that Reed was asked to turn over his keys and surrender his position. Reed made no attempt to deny his guilt. His peculations had been go ing on since March. He had an ac curate account of all his stealings and frankly, gave them to the auditor. Why he had robbed the telephone company he did not know, nor could he say what he had done with the money. For his services he had been receiving a fair salary. In the capacity of manager, all or a great deal of the money of the com pany went through Reed s hands. Ac counts handled are made out in du plicate, and the money turned over to the manager. Not all of this was transmitted to the Aurora office. A shortage was found in the item of collections from toll boxes, and the "working fund" of the company had also been made to yield its share to the telephone company manager. No careful effort had been made to cover the thefts, and they would have been found by anyone familiar with book keeping. Reed came to Leavenworth from Washington, D. C, with his wife and child. He was a thoroughly exper ienced electrician and a capable tele phone man. He established himself at the Plantera' House and resided there since. In December Mrs. Reed and the child went to Washington, D. C, and have since made their home with the former 8 parents. FIRE BUG IS ARRESTED. S. D. Ely Believed Responsible for Bad Peru Blaze.

In response to the broader de mand for finished materials, the steel mills are rapidly resuming operations, having taken less time than usual for repairs and inventories. A more fav orable showing than had been expected was disclosed in the unfilled tonnage report of the steel corporation, orders on hand during June increasing 246, 7 81 tons, whereas in the two months immediately preceding there was a combined falling off of tully 834,000 tons. Only a moderate accumulation of pig iron has been reported and it is be lieved the output of merchant furnaces is now below consumptive require ments.

Explosion of 200 Quarts of Nitrogly cerln Near Tulsa. Tulsa. Ok., July 15. Barney Sulli van, a well-known oil man, has been killed, a team of horses killed and the entire city shaken by a terrific nitro glycerin explosion one mile north of the city. Sullivan was loading nitro glycerin from a magazine to a wagon to shoot an oil well, when it exploded. Many people believed it was an earth quake and rushed into the streets. Workmen on a ten-story hotel build ing in the course of construction, say the top of the buildine: swaved I1)r a. ship at sea. Two hundred quarts o nitro-giycerin exploded. Fifty-five minutes after the exlo- sion which was four miles north of Tulsa, there was terrific rumbling in the bowels of the earth on the farm of David Shipman, eight miles south. ionoweu Dy an upheaval of the earth covering a space of nearly five acres and a fire that killed four horses, de stroyed considerable property and en- aangerea tne lives of half a dozen persons. The Incident on the ShlD- man farm, which was not an explo sion, is believed to be the first case or its Kind in the history of the oil industry in America. Oil men of long experience sav that the natural gas pressure overcame th weight of the sixty feet of earth. Ship man, with others, were drilling a sec ond well when the rumbling started. Suddenly, earth was Juggled into the air. Then the gas ignited from the engine of the drilling machine and the flames shot 200 feet into the air. Shipman rushed toward his home a short distance, but within fifty feet of the door was confronted by a similar eruption of the earth, also followed by fire. He finally reached the hoiise. He brought his family here and fears to take them back to the farm again.

The International Sunday School Les son for July 18 Is, "Manasseh's Wickedness and Penitence," II Chron. S3: 1-20. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. SLKOPATKA IB famous or (G Infamous In history as tne woman who led kings cap tive to their ruin Her in fluence is said to have changed the cm rent of hia- tory. More potent than Kypt's beau tiful queen, however, in affecting the fate of nations has be:n the force whom w e sometimes person. fy as Ma dame Grundy or Dame fashion. That tyrannous old lady has ltd kings and empires about as a society girl leads a pood! dog; and she is still in busi ness. The assigned story of the mis deed and miwery of Manasseh, be cauae he slavishly followed the day's vogue, may be ir.terpreitd by count less instances from contemporary his tory. Madame Grundy in still the worst woman In the world, and the chief handmaiden of the Evil One. The tendency which gives power to fashion-following Is as rid as man, and as young as last year's babe. The greatest of Hebrew seers discerned it w hen he said, "all we like sheep have pone astray." The manner rather than the fact of the astraynes-i, is the point of that observation. Men do not bo astray in purposeful, resolute self-direction; rather, they wander like wit less sheep, flocking stup.Oly after any wicked old bell-wether that chooses to Jump the fence info forbidden fields. The Indian mothere who proud ly put gaudy, tinseled, shapeless Imi tations of European frocks upon their little rhildren are in the same class with Manesseh, and with the sheep, and with the boys who lfcar- to smoke, flnd with the man who buys an auto mobile which he cannot afford; all are indiscriminately following- a fashion, poor slaves of Madame Grundy. An Vnkingly King. It is the place of kings to lead fashions, and not to follow them. So, also, of all royal men and women. That is a hard truth to set into the head of the average person. Consider the multitudes of persons who this month are leaving comfortable homes in order to endure the discomforts of expensive summer resorts, simply be cause it is the fashion tr go away from home for a vacation. Contem plate the weary women who strain nerves and purses to wear the hats and sleeves and skirts that Dame Fashion arbitrarily prescribes. Behold an entire nation like Japan, giving up its distinctive and beauffu' art, and Its very sense of color. In order to imitate western ways, so that It is easier to buy gaudy German litho graphs in Tokio today than It is to buy the traditional Japanese prints. Alas for the crowns that are flung away! A single glance into the mir ror of cur times and practices makes us more gentle with poor old Manes seh. Let us remember that he started out a spoiled child, a victim of the oriental harem system. Called to the throne at 12. he was th prey of sycophants, flatterers ond courtiers. Everybody blames the spoiled child, why not pity him? "The rich man's son has not a fair cance today," declares J. Campbell White. Manasseh wua given a bad start, perhaps by counsellors of the Assyrian party. Certainly, some evil genius was at his side to teach him a contempt for the religion of hia father; he thought that Hezeklah was "an old fogy," '"slow," and "behind the times;" he would be "up-to-date" and "In the swim." Little he reckoned of the maelstroms ahead. A Long, Bad Career. For 55 years this misguided man was king of Judah the longest reign In the nation's history. He lived at the time of Assyria's greatest power, find he was doubtless a vassal of that world-empire. H's father had been a non-conformer; he himself was a conformer, and undid, so far as lay In his power, Hezektah's great work. Tlie latter sought to serve the living Uoa; his son sought to follow the As syrian fashion. He did not want to rule over a little one-horse "peculiar" kingdom: hia ambition waa to make Judah aa like aa possible to Assyria. In Japan today Manasseh would be called "a high collar" or one who apes foreign styles. He enters that familiar arch-enemy of the Jews, "the abominations of the nations." After all the past experience of the Chosen People, and the dramat ic reminders that Jehovah was greater than all the false gods, from the drowning of the Egyptians in the Red sea to the mysterious defeat of the Assyrians In Hezekiah's day, one would suppose that the lesson of the wickedness of Idolatry had been well learned. But no, foolish Manasseh must set up once more, even in the temple itself, the idols which Jeho vah had so often caused to be over thrown. With these went wicked prac tices which, happily, are not even un derstood by Christian readers. As Is generally the case, desertion of the true God was followed by a re pudiation of the moral standards. Witchcraft followed in the wake of Idolatry. Justice disappeared, and the streets of the city ran red with the blood of innocent persons, slain by the king who should have been their protector. The common welfare is most secure where the laws of God are best observed. Tho Turning of the Lane. Everybody has observed that when a man goes wrong he is likely to go farthest wrong; the prodigal behaves worse than the inhabitants of the lar country." This son of a God-fearing father outstripped the idolatrous As syrians in wickedness. In a factory where many ignorant and evil men worked the most corrupt and corrupt ing waa one of the higher grade work ers, the educated son of a Sunday school superintendent. The awful rec ord of this king of Judah is thus written: "And Manasseh seduced Ju dah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nation whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel." Small wonder that the outraged Je hovah declared, "I will wipe Jerusa lem aa a man wipeth a ('ish, wiping it and turning it upside down." Ages-old is the folly of man, which attempts to war against the great God. "Where fore Jehovah brought upon them" the oft-warned but still obdurate peo ple of Judah "the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and carried him to Babylon." The turning of the long lane of sin had been reached and it led to a miry pit. The greatest glory of God is His mercy. Ha must be Just, but He also is compassionate. Some fathers dis own their undeserving children for ever, but the gate of the heavenly Father's house is never shut against a repentant prodigal. Even foolish, fashion-following, wicked Manasseh was given another opportunity. In cap tivity's hard school he learned his 'es son. and penitent, prayed and was par doned. He reformed, returned and re built. God led him back to Jerusa lem to undo, in his old age, some of the mischief he had wrought through a long life. He was forgiven, but he could not forget. Some scars may not be obliterated, some ruins may not be rebuilt. Whenever goes the world's way goes the wrong way. Evil runs :n crowds, virtue walks apart. Follow fashion, follow folly. But "let the wicked forsake his way and the un righteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God for he will abundantly pardon." Living to Serve. Terse Comments for July 16, "Our Debts: What Are They? How to Fay Them." Rom. 13:7-10. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. "In this world." said Henry Ward Beecher, "it is not what we take up, but what we give up. that makes us rich." All the social and political unrest of the hour means one thing, and that is that people are tired of selfishness, and are bound that there shall be greater obedience to the old, old laws which require a man to care for his brother. There has been too much looking out for number one, and too much disregard for number two. "However it be. it seems to me 'Tis only noble to be good. Kind hearts are more than coronets. And simple faith than Norman blood." Look on other lives beside your own; see what their troubles are and how they are borne; try to think of something in this busy world beside the gratification of small selfish de sires; try to think of what is best in thought Lnd action, something apart from the accidents of your own lot. George Eliot. The Spirit of Christ In the heart, produces the fruits of the Spirit in the life. The graces that we desire cannot be put on our life one by one as we may choose. They are rather a growth, resulting from the Indwelling of the Spirit. By these signs may we know that we have in us the Spirit: Love, Joy, peace, long-suffering, gentle ness, goodness, faith, meekness, tem perance. He who is always hearing and an swering the call of life to be thought ful and brave and self-sacrificing he alone can safely hear the other cry of life, tempting him to be happy and enjoy. Phillips Brooks. "What do we live for If it is not to make life less difficult to each other?" To sacrifice, to share: To give, even as He gave; For others' wants to care; Not our own lives to save. Lucy Larcom. It is only worth while In this world to be like Jesus Christ. The path to this perfection runs through the vat ley of service. Without a deep, unfal tering consecration to a life of ser vice and sacrifice It is Impossible to grow into Christ's image. Like his Master, the disciple must be among men as one that serveth. Christ proved His divinity by His ministry. The disciple of the present time can likewise show to the world by his deeds of devoted helpfulness that he has been born of God. There Is a world of practical philos ophy In Christ's teaching about los ing one's life to save It. Only aa a man spends himself in unselfish toil for others does he gain an insight in to the true secret of existence. Not until he Is lifted up on a cross of sac rifice can he obtain the broad vision of life, the clear understanding of brotherhood, and the full perception of truth that are the richest rewards the human soul can know this side of I heaven. If you would save your life from srr.allness, meanness, selfishness and death, then lose It by fearless service. "Wouldst thou be wretched? 'Tis an easy way: Think of but self, and self alone all day: Think of their pain, thoir loss, their thy care. All that thou hast to do, or feel or bear; Think of thy good, thy pleasure and thy gain, Think only of thyself, 'twill not be vain. Wouldst thou be happy? Take an easy way; Think of those around thee live for them each day; Think of ther pain, their loss, their grief, their care; All that they have to do, or feel cr bear; Think of their pleasure, of their good, their gain; Think of those round thee It will not be in vain." Old Thomas Carlyle saw deeply into human nature and into the life of this world. One of his sagest utterances may well be taken as a motto by an earnest spirit. Said Carlyle, "There is in man a higher than love of happi ness; he can do without happiness and instead thereof find blessedness." NEW S AND NOTES. Dr. Grenfell has Just received amid great acclaim from the vast audience assembled the degree of Honorary M. D. at the University of Toronto. Only three others received the de gree. Dr. Grenfell left Toronto last week and was due at St. Johns July 20, where he will assist in laying the cor nerstone of the new fishermen's home. The leading men of St. Johns are interested in making It a great .occasion and hope that representa tives of several nations will be pres ent at the dedication. This home is to be wholly unsectarian, and open to any seafaring man who enters the port. The baccalaureate address at Fisk university this year, was delivered by Dr. C. E. Stowe. youngest son of Har riet Beecher Stowe. on June 14, the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Stowe. It proves the rapid progress of education and "re construction" In this country that the son of the woman whose book helped so powerfully to bring on the Civil war could deliver at a university for the children of slaves and before an audience made up of former slave owners and of equally sensitive col ored people, an address on slavery. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. Soul agony spells victory every time whether you can discover the result or no. R. J. Campbell.

To be a strong hand In the dark to another In the time of need, to be a cup of strength to a human soul in a crisis of weakness, is to know the glory of life. Black. Things which could never make a man happy develop a power to make him strong. Phillips Brooks. The cross means simply that you are to go the road which you see to be the straight one: carrying what ever Is given you to carry as well as you can, without making faces or call ing people to come and look at you. Ruskln. m A poor man saved by thee shall make thee rich; a sick man helped by thee shall make thee strong. Browning. If you wish success In life make perseverance your bosom friend, ex perience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius. Addison. RELIGION AND FACTS. Science Does Not Stop With What Can lie Demonstrated. "Nothing else has to do with so many facts and so great facts as reli gion," says the Advance of Chicago, "and to call only those things fact which physical science considers and to ignore the facts which fall within the sphere of religious faith and ac tion is to be blind to the most impor tant thing. "What more absurd than to see In the wall which houses a hospital a fact and not to see a fact in the spirit which promoted and pervades the in spiration, or to see a fact in the chem ical change produced by an experi ment in a laboratory and not to see a fact In the change wrought In a community or an Individual life by a revival or other spiritual influences? "But it is said that Christian faith reaches beyond facts Into the un known. This is not disputed. There is no need to dispute It. Science does the same thing. It never yet discov ered a fact great or small which did not carry It over into the unknown. Indeed, notwithstanding all the claims to the contrary, science does not con fine Itself to facts. 'Any one. who Is practically acquainted with scientific work,' says Mr. Huxley, 'is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely ever get as far as fact.' "Indeed, science brings Its followers at last to the borders of the unknown, where hope and fear quiver at the thought of the mystery beyond. But here faith takes the believer up In its arms and bids him looke to the ever lasting Father, who holds all things In his hands." STATISTICS FROM THE BIBLE.

In the first verse of the sev enth chapter of Ezra Is the alphabet. The finest piece of reading is the twenty-sixth chapter of Acts. The name of God is not mentioned in tho book of Esther. It contains knowledge, wisdom, holiness and love. SENTENCE SERMONS. Slander soon dies if you take it out of circulation. The very best way to lift men is to meet them on the level. Heavy words in a meeting will not make up for short weight In market. Heresy hunting Is simply an obses sion of omniscience. We find the worst in all by trying to get the best of any one. The worst foe you have Is the man who would kill all your enemies. It is no use holding up the divine throne if you're treading on the chil dren's toes to do it. Missionaries in China. At this moment the religious impact of the west upon China Is delivered to 1.400 Roman Catholic missionaries and 4,000 Protestant missionaries, of whom, however, fully 1.000 are wives and therefore not always free to do full work. The Roman Catholic work is i three centuries old, and more than a 1 million baptized Chinese are in its fold The Protestant work is the growth of a century, and about half a million are within its churches, although its com municants do not exceed 200,000.

In 6 Weeks Cured. "When my baby boy waa six months old, bis body was comptetel covered with lane ores that seemed to itcb and burn, and causa terrible suffering. The erup tion began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or. my self. Great scabs would come off when I removed bis shirt. "We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend In duced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuticura Soap and Oint ment but a short time before I could see that he was Im proving, and in ilx weeks' time he was entirely cured. He had Buffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment although we had tried several other things, and doctors too.

Suffrage Notes The work for suffrage in Kansas Is going forward In spite of the heat, the vacation time, and the difficulties of organization. County organizations are being made as rapidly as possible, and now Shawnee County la in trim for work. Its organization complete, with excellent officers, and a force of eager, willing workers. Mrs. Corbett, of Oak Grove, who was elected president of the Shawnee County Association, will be able, by her efficiency, her wide ac quaintance throughout tho country dis tricts, and her personal influence, to bring Into line and enlist In the ser vice of the cause, women, and men also, of the agricultural sections, thus spreading the work over the county, instead of concentrating It In the towns. The selection of the other offi cers, Mrs. Wilson, of Valencia, Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Smyth, and Mrs. Milliken, of Topeka, and Mrs. Harry Forbes, was a fortunate one, and Mrs. Cora Well house Bullard, president of the First District, says that she feels entirely without anxiety about the work in Shawnee County. The meeting for the organization was attended by a very good representation of women, num bering between seventy-five and a hundred, and this In spite of the ex cessive heat of the afternoon and the long distance traveled by many of the delegates. Other county organizations will fol low, and subordinate orsunizations in Shawnee will soon be formed. Miss Helen Eacker of Lawrence, has been appointed to receive subscriptions to the Woman's Journal, on a liberal commission. She has offered to turn into the treasury of the Kansas Equal Suffrage Association, of which she Is secretary, the entire amount of her commission, excepting the small amount required for postage and other expenses in connection with the handl ing of the work. Any one who Intends to take the Woman's Journal will help the Kansas Association by subscribing through Miss Eacker. More than seven million women in the United States daily leave their homes and go out In the world to work for their living. They work under some disadvantages that men do not have longer hours, lower wages, and they bear the greater burdens of our Industrial system, but have not the protection of the ballot that men have. Good laws are necessary to women, for they are the mothers of the next gen eration, and upon the conditions under which she works depends largely the health of herself and her children. The stunted growth and Impaired vi tality of the English working people today are the results of lkck of legisla tion in their behalf when the introduc tion of machinery mado possible the greater exploitation of labor. It is of the utmost importance that there should be good factory lawB. that a woman should work under good sani tary conditions', and that she should not work too long hours nor late at night. Yet she has no representatives to make and enforce the hws neces sary to herself and the community. Women need good laws to protest them at home as well as at work, and the poor need them mere than the rich. If food is impure, trust prices exorbitant, dwelling housts unsanitary, public schools bad, street cars abomin able, police protection inadequate, the rich can pay for private service, but the poor have no choice. All these things concern women. Hor home is her special province, and she should be able to demand laws for its protec tion. There are two ways to secure laws by votes, and by "Influence." Wage earners cannot afford Influence. They must elect men who will make and enforce the laws they need. An appeal to legislators that is backed up by votes, is the kind that counts. The workingman's vote looms large on the politician's horizon, and the woman's vote is necessary to secure the woman's interests. The form of anv srovern- jment and society depends on economic conditions. A change In industrial life brings a change in laws and customs. Women are now in constant touch with the world, and the proportion of self-supporting women li increasing. Self protection requires that they should vote, and progress demands It.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JU) 15, 1911. ords Special Advantages and Splendid Social Conditions For College Students rvn JJJ I ope&a i in If 1 1 sssst DOPTED by the French Government Sherwin Cody, the Chicago publisher, says: "To the business man there is no doubt in the world that typewriting is far more impor tant than shorthand, considering both accur acy and speed, in determining the value of the stenographer." The merits of the Dougherty's Touch Type writing method are shown by the fact that the Inspector General of Technical Education of the French Government has approved Dough erty's Touch Typewriting Instructor for trans lation into French and use in all the Commer cial High Schools of France. This i equivalent to adoption by the French Government. This book embodies the methods that Mr. Dougherty has been using, and his class talk as he has been giving it for fourteen years. ABINET System of Actual Business Practice. The student in Dougherty's Bookkeeping Dept. actually engages in business on his own account from the day he enters school until his course Is finished. He conducts the busi ness in his own name, instead of doing imag inary work and using fictitious names, as by prevailing methods. This system inspires students with intense interest and enthusiasm and develops theii" judgment and self-reliance. It gives ACTUAL and not theoretical know ledge of notes, drafts, checks, leases, mort gages, partnership papers, bills of lading, deeds, assignments, power of attorney, and all other forms of business papers in common use. The "Cabinet System" makes students expert in invoice-making, quick at figuring, rapid and legible writers, thoroughly familiar with bank ing methods and requirements, able to make their cash balance, to unravel the most stub born trial balance, to endorse papers in the proper place and according to their tenor or necessity, and to do a thousand other things that the keyed or fixed systems of instruction cannot produce. A 1 Washburn College 11 Topeka, Kansas Washburn College is situated on a beautiful and shaded campus of 160 acres adjoining the capital city on the southwest. It can be reached by electric cars coming from all the depots every eight min utes. Here the College, Academy, Engineering, Fine Arts and Bible tvork is carried on in an attractive group of six stone build ings. The schools of Laiu and Medicine have suitable locations near the center of the city. The following courses of study are offered: A High Grade College Course Leading in to the degree of H. A. or B. S. Thirty high school points are required for admission and 120 semester hours for graduation. A liberal choice of electives are offered in the Junior and Senior years enabling the students to shape their work to ward their future profession or business. State cer tificates granted to graduates. The instructors all hold advanced degrees from standard American uni versities. A Thorough Preparatory Course To those who must leave home to prepare for col lege Washburn Academy offers the advantage of a thorough course under the guidance of trained teachers. The principal gives special attention to the individual needs of his students. An Excellent Law Course Topeka is an ideal location for a School of Law. Washburn Law school is situated under the shadow of the State Capitol with its large law library. It number among its instructors some of the leading judges and attorneys of the Kansas bar. Its students have access to every court from the United States district court, down to the police court.

But, as Theodore Roosevelt says "No learn ing is so importance to anyone as that which will teach him to earn his livelihood." In educating your children do not overlook the practical. The bread-and-butter side of life comes first. The necessaries and comforts your children will enjoy, the practical suc cess they will win, will depend on their earn ing power, their ability in some practical line. to do work that the world is willing to pay well for. A working knowledge of some special branch of business training, such as steno graphy, is worth more than Greek and Latin. A knowledge of stenography will insure any young man or young woman a good position at any time and anywhere. It's the surest, quickest stepping stone to promotion in the business world. TOUR Son or Your Daughter AVill earn more money within one year from today if they start in tomorrow on a business course in our school, studies for six months and then works the rest of the year at a good salary than if they go to work at the ordin ary salary 'of the untrained, and work the whole year.

A Complete Medical Course The Medical Department, known as the Kansas Medical College, is an old and well established school. The instructors are the leading physicians and surgeons of Topeka the recognized medical center of Kansas. The free dispensary maintained by the school and the many hospitals of Topeka furnish abundant clinical material. The course is four years in length and leads to the degree of M. D. Two Years Work in Engineering This work prepares for the Junior Tear in our large engineering schools. It may be combined with the college course or be taken separately. It es pecially appeals to those students who wish to take as much as possible of their technical training in the atmosphere of a college. Varied Courses in the Fine Arts The faculty of the school of Fine Arts consists of twelve men and women trained in the best studios of KuroDe and America. The school is di vided into three departments: The Department of Music, giving depree courses in Piano, Voice, Organ, Violin, Musical Theory and History. The Depart ment of Dramatic Art. offering diploma courses in Dramatic Art, Elocution and Physical Culture. The Art Institute, offering diploma courses in Drawing, Painting. Illustrating, Designing, Industrial Arts and Arthandicrafts. A Two Years Bible Course This course provides for a thorough and system atic study of the English Bible, and prepares for leadership in association work, Sunday school ser vice, and missionary fields. M J Jj JijHY Topeka for a business Education Because there are more and better openings here for ambitious, trained young men and women than In any other city in the State. The great Santa Fe System has its General Offices here, with twelve hundred employees in one building. Stenographers and Book keepers are wanted constantly for work here, and all along their lines from Chicago to Gal veston and San Francisco. The State Offices are here with the best positions constantly to be filled. The State Supreme Court brings the cream of Kansas law practice to the State Capital. There are numerous large and thriving con cerns, all the time increasing their forces of office employees. We can furnish you one of these good po sitions if you will let us help you prepare for it. C. Mohler Assistant Secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture in Secretary Coburn'a office, recently said: "Because of the excellence of Mr. Dough erty's Shorthand, Dougherty's Business Col lege has developed from one of purely steno graphic instruction into one of the best all round business schools in the West. It is some thing more than a business school, too. It is more like a big educational home than any in stitution of its kind I ever knew." OW Some Big Men Got Their Start. Geo. P. Beck, head of the Foreign Depart ment of the American Express Company, New York City, learned stenography in Dougherty's Business College. He took a position with the Santa Fe, but later decided to go to New Tork City. He applied for a place with the Ameri can Express Company, and was given a cler ical position. But it being found out that he could write shorthand, and the president need ing some extra help, he was given the chance; made good, became that official's private sec retary, later the cashier of the company, and is now head of one of its principal de- TOPEKAJOLLEGES Many Graduates Leave Topeka Schools Fitted for Life. Topeka Offers Special Advan tages and Environments. Already students are enrolling, oth ers making inquiry and investigation of the various schools and colleges, preparatory to beginning thorough and final education for professional and business lives. Topeka colleges, busi ness colleges, art schools and conserv atories are busy planning the year's work and receiving enrollments. Xo city in Kansas or the central west offers better advantages and more favorable surroundings for the student than does Topeka. In many respects, superior advantages and opportunities are presented in Topeka than in any other city of similar location and size. Social, moral and business life of the Kansas capital city are such that parents are satisfied to send their young people here to receive business and technical training. Topeka can feel justly proud of her denominational colleges, her business training schools, her musical conservator ien and art schools. Hissing's Conservatory. For the past seven years, one of the best violin soloists, teachers and com posers. Professor Petrowitsch, has con ducted classes at his conservatory. Xot alone has he gained distinction as a teacher and soloist, but h has just completed a work on synthetical violin technic, explaining and teaching his modern system of developing the strength and flexibility of fingers ac cording to scientific principles.

The general manager of Armour Co., T. G. Connors, began with that concern as a stenographer. So did many other of their big salaried department heada. Lewis E. Larson is business manager of the Board of Education of Chicago, at a salary of $10,000 a year, at 36 years of age. He is not a college graduate, but learned bookkeep ing and shorthand in a Business Oollege. As stenographer to Ex-Superintendent Lane, he learned the routine of management; soon be came secretary of the board, and is now busi ness manager. J. Pierpont Morgan's secretary was at one time his stenographer, and he is now getting J 12,000 a year. Business concerns are constantly on the look out for bright men stenographers, for the pur pose of training them into responsible execu tive positions. The stenographer helps to handle his em ployer's correspondence; takes detail respon sibility off his shoulders; handles his manag er's work when he is away; becomes more and more fitted for promotion; and, when the opening comes he is the man who is picked. This is why more of the managers and ex ecutives of big concerns have risen from the position of stenographer than from all other beginnings combined.

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The newt ia received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the Stato Journal way from homo during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cents a month (by mail only). Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to tou like a dally letter from home. Advance payment is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeping expenses. One of Iowa's legal lights says a minor can patronize saloons providing lie ia married. But no such minor can tlo so In Kansas. Where a man gives a girl presents, cays Puck, he expects to get them back; the only question is whether lie wi'.l get the glyl with them. A commission should be appointed forthwith to inquire into the sanity of a New York woman who recently lost $1,000 in cash and then joked about it. Topeka is now projected in luminous fashion on the educational map through the election of John MacDonald to a directorship in the National Education association. Evidently the rain-maker has a grudge against Topeka. But as long as good rains fall in every other Kan sas locality Topeka will continue to keep on smiling. Kansas also has this advantage. There is no possibility just yet of de vastating forest fires getting In their line work here and wiping out villages and towns in their paths. Thanks to a discerning jury, Evelyn Arthur See, the dissolute lifer, will have to content himself in the immedi ate future with taking an occasional peek at the world outside through prison bars. The increased assessed valuations of Iiroperty in Shawnee county and To eka for the purposes of taxation for the year 1911 is more evidence that the city and county are enjoying a healthy growth. Undoubtedly the cup of joy of the youthful Prince of Wales is filled to the brim. His folk have finally pro vided him with a bright red cap. Noth ing brings greater delight to the ordi nary boy. A son of Vice President Sherman gets Into he limelight for making an un usually low score on an eastern golf Jinks and getting rewarded by being ducked in a pond. And such is fame apparently In this day of grace. Delightful summer resort weather of the mountain variety has been prevail ing for the past few days in these dig gings.. And it all goes to show that when the weather is good in Kansas It is very, very .good and when it is bad Jt is horrid. It is not likely that the framers of tha Kansas constitution intended that the various state officers, duly elected y the votes of the people, should be like unto a lot of office boys to run around and fetch and carry at the !beck and call of the state's chief exec utive. It is perfectly natural for Senator LaFolIette to excoriate the Taft ad aninlstration on every possible occasion. (Senator LaFolIette is a candidate for the next Republican presidential nomi nation, which Mr. Taft is going to get. io not many people will be fooled by the LaFolIette tirades. Much of his valuable time that At torney General Dawson might use to good advantage in attending to much of the pressing business of his office is necessarily taken up in framing his replies to the many and voluminous letters he is receiving from Governor Stubbs. The governor is on his vaca tion and hasn't anything el5e to do. Now that one Topeka baby ha3 been tirowned in a cistern because it was improperly covered, there Is likely to be, or there should be. a rush on the part of parents to see that the cisterns on their premises are covered in a se cure fashion. This will savor a good deal of locking the stable door after the horse Is stolen, but such a move Is north while when there are any num ber of horses in the stable and only ne has been removed. Representative Kahn of California, rould put a tax on tha dowries set tled on titled foreigners by the Ameri can girls who seem to delight in mar rying such gentry. But why worry at all about the activities of such girls or what they do with their money? Girls of this caliber would likely not develop into the kind of women that the United States needs if they re mained at home. And they cannot get titles and thereby make their presence scarce unless they pay for them. So there shouldn't be any stumbling block placed in the way of their negotiations along this line. A SAT CRD AY SEliMOX. Thou art weighed In the balance, and art found wanting. Daniel V Zl. This is the interpretation which was given by the prophet, Daniel, to one of the words which startled Belshazsar, the successor of Nebuchadnezzar as kins of Babylonia, when it was written with some other phrases by a mysterious hand on a wall before his very eyes. It conveyed to Belshazzar the warning, soon after fulfilled, that his hours as a ruler were nearing the end. He had been weighed in the balances and found wanting. And that is the verdict which is be ing passed upon many men and women in the world today. Perhaps the hand writing on the wall telling them of the scant advantage they have taken of their opportunities which they gener ally fail to see, or seeing fail to heed does not appear before them in such an emphatic and rather uncanny way as it did before the doomed Belshazzar. But it is always there. And it could be tig urcd out and interpreted by thooe to whom it is addressed if they had any real desire to do so. They don't, though. The folk who are making anything but the most of their lives are generally of the self- satisfied sort. They believe themselves self-sufficient in all things. Nobody can tell them anything. They even shut their eyes to the many danger marks along the toutes they are drifting. Be cause they can skip over a little pit fall they consider themselves smart enough to evade the larger ones which they come up with. But they arrive at one sooner or later which engulfs them. Their end is distressing. To avoid the judgment of being found wanting should be the constant effort of every man and woman. Right liv ing in all particulars points the way to this goal. Take the case of Bel shazzar for example. Nebuchadnezzar left in his hands a nighty kingdom. rich and powerful. As soon as Bel shazzar ascended his throne and posi tion of power he started in to make his life one long, continued revelry of dissipation. He 'Jid not appreciate the wonderful opportunities and enormous responsibilities that had been given to him. Wine, women and song attracted his entire attention. Is U any wonder then that' the wrath of God descended upor. him; that his kingship was but for a day? Not the slightest. So it is in the world of the present era, just as it has been in every other cycle of time trat has passed on its way. Many individuals their number is really prodigious negeiect their du ties of lift; their duties to themselves and to their families, if they have any; and also their duties to their God. They dodge the responsibilities which have been properly thrust upon them. Al most before they know it the time is longer with some and shorter with oth ersthe terrible judgment Is rendered against them. They have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. And no verdict could be more cruelly crushing. THE SUPREME COURT. The Kansas supreme court has com pleted another year's work and the justices will have a month's vacation. This is an opportune time, therefore, to comment upon the supreme tribunal of the state. And it is no more than the simple truth to say in this con nection that the people of the state have good reason to fe! a degree of pride when reference is made to the Kansas supreme court It is com posed of men of unblemished integrity and unusual legal attainments, who command the respect of every citizen as well as the attorneys who come di rectly in contact with the court. It is doubtful if seven men better qualified for these impoilant positions could be found In the state. While the court is more or less subject to the vicissitudes of politics, there is a growing sentiment in Kansas that the members of this court who have been tried and made good should be re tained. Next year the terms of Chief Justice Johnston and Justice Burch ex- j pire. There is a disposition among law- j yers to concede them mother term1 without a contest. There can be no good reason urged for displacing either nection that the people of Kansas of these officials, and it would be a well merited endorsement to re-elect these two members of the court with out a contest. THE PANHANDLE CXUI1. "Nestling amid the hills of the Litt'.e Miami valley is a quaint village where In recent years there has existed a group of twelve girls known as tne 'Panhandle Club.' writta T. J. Ed monds in the Survey. 'What a strange name for a club, says a reader. It was not eo called from the gentle peripatetic art of 'pan handling.' 'Panhandle' meant what it said the 'I.andle of a pan." The Pan handle club was a cooking club. Each month it met at the home of one of the twelve and the hostess prepared a re past. There were twelve lucky men In vited to these feasts. And well, eleven of them have now married eleven or tha girls, and the twelfth curses the day he left the village. "The history of the old Panhandle club illustrates the importance of the housekeeping art before marriage; the experience of oeial workers in thj homes of the poor emphasizes its im portance after the home has been established. "Every social worker has learn ?d that although sometimes the wolf en ters the home because the income is too small, more often he comes because the outgo is too large; that too many pennies roll away in the wake of burned and discarded food materials and unmended garments; that when mothers don't know how to fight germs with cleanliness and sanitary habits disease becomes a culture medium for poverty, and poverty again for disease.

The world will applaud a winner even if it is only the charioteer getting la first in a circus race. A friend remarks that a visit to the circus suggested to him that we are all wild animals with merely varied degrees of training. "Since so much is said about the dangers of permitting flies to roam around at will," says the Concordia Kansan, "it makes us squirm to think of the dangers we have passed through in the early days of this glorious western country before we had screens for our windows and aoors. Editor Stromquist of the Linds borg Record has a few suggestions for making the baseball Hngo even more versatile, which he conveys as follows: The reporter of the McPherson Daily Republican might make his baseball dope a little more interesting and save it from becoming monotonous by giv ing the word "bonehead" a rest. Any of the following would do as a sub stitute; sad work, bad job, screw loose. too many cooks, fumbled, stumbled, fell into a trap, not know what one is about, the saddle on the wrong horse, aim at a pigeon and kill a crow, wild goose chase, doing things by halves and so forth. As related by the Wichita Beacon: A girl had gone to a dinner in New wiu uer sieaay. ine vounar man noticed a speck of what appecred to be lint on her shoulder. When she wasn t looking he attempted to knock it off with his flnirer. After .several futile attempts he took hold of thJ nnt ann started to pull it off.

"But," she added, "I have just been lvlmr here in bed, mother, and wondering what Became oi my union suit. Reported by the McLouth Times While doing some repair work on the Commercial club room, the workmen uncovered a perfect skeletal', which was perfect so far as every bone was concerned and all were nicely unitad. The bones were clean and white and it was turned over to Dr. Gephavt as a real curiosity, as those who saw it had never seen so fine a Job of sterilizing" by natural causes. We predicted a rattling among the dry bones when the Commercial club got down to business and here's an example. It is not known just how long the skeleton bad been there. We almost forgot to state that the skeleton was that of nn English sparrow and may be seen at Dr. Gep hart's office. Two prominent women in a certain Kansas town were being taken to their homes from the railway station in a cab one evening, relates the Downs Times, and without paying any par ticular attention to the other occu pants of the cab, a fine looking young man, one of them gave a full descrip tion of a family that had just pur chased the house next door, saying a few things that were not entirely complimentary. In the course of the conversation, the woman remarked that there were eight children in the family. A few moments later, she was considerably taken back when the cab stopped in front of the house of the new neighbors and the young man stepped out of the cab, pausing only to lift his hat and say, "Good evening, ladies, I'm one of the eight."

A man is-n't willing to pay off his marriage vows at even 1 cent on the dollar. It's queer how little bits of women seem to act so much like bis chunks of dynamite.

JAY HAWKER JOTS KANSAS COMMENT CIVIC ENTHUSIASM. If you want your home city to re main stationary or to lose In popula tion one sure way to help toward that end is to adopt an apologetic attitude in speaking of your home institutions. If you have a friend visiting you, or when you are conversing with travel ing men, be sure and make it clear that you recognize all the faults of the place you live in. Thereby they will perceive that you are a person of high social and busi ness standards, of keen and critical perception, accustomed to move freely among the seats of the mighty. They will note that you condescend to min gle with the common people, and that you absent yourself from the world's great metropolitan centers merely lrom some interesting eccentric whim. But although you may succeed in making this impression, your real es tate or your business will not thereby grow more valuable, nor will your wages thereby be increased. Tou will not thereby add anything to the rep utation possessed by your town as a good place to live and do business in, which reputation is the only thing that draws newcomers. We have often noted the feeling of pride with which people in a growing citv speak of the place they live In. They talk of the things in a large way. They call the little brook running through the town, a river, the pond is a lake, the hill is a mountain. It is easv, of course, for people to get to Bpeaking about such things :n a high-flowing bombastic way. But an enthusiastic view of one's surround ings need not necessarily make itself rid iculous. The habit of civic enthusiasm is not the effect of growth, but a cause and the principal cause. Just as man ac complishes in life the degree of suc cess he believes he can accomplish so a city accomplishes in some degree the growth its people believe it can attain. Atchison Champion.

Hutchinson News. FROM OTHER PENS THE HOTEL CLERK. It used to be said that the hotel clerk was a lordly person, who would condescend to speak to you if you ap proached him In the proper spirit of humility, and that he always left you enough to travel out of town with, when he submitted your bill. Like all traditions, this one may have had some sort of basis in years gone by; yet how different conditions are today! The hotel clerk of the present is the origi nal dispenser of the glad hand. At least, that is the prevailing type. That is the kind of clerk who stays, and is always Identified with the best hoBtel ries. He is a student of human nature, and he realizes more quickly than the guest knows just how to deal with In dividual cases. He knows instantly when he is confronted by a man with limited means whose success depends upon his making a brave showing, and he exacts no toll in the way of confession when such an applicant comes to his desk. He finds a room at the right rates and permits the guest to believe that he is getting by with his stall, and is quietly amiable. The hotel clerk 13 a destroyer of the blues when the traveler is thinking of Moilie and the babies. The clerk says a word, or tells a story or remembers a face, and the man away from home sud denly realizes that the hotel is his home, and that he needn't be home sick at all after he has written a let ter back to Oskaloosa or Green Bay. St. Louis Times. GOLDEN RULE IN BUSINESS. The language of business becomes mystical. Wrhere a few years ago in dustry was engaged in cutthroat com petition that was the savage adject ive which no one then thought of re senting and where a little later it took the form of combinations, which legislatures and courts stamped as criminal, it is now satisfied to apply nothing short of the Golden Rule as the standard for its guidance. Judge E. H. Gary has only to invite the at tention of steel producers from ail over the world in convention assem bled at Brussels to the somewhat neg lected Golden Rule for all of them to avow their enthusiasm for it and be gin plans to organize and put It into effect. Is the nature of business changing that it should require millennial phrases to describe its purposes? Com bination, the much abused and out cf date, came in with fair phrases and fine promises about economies to be effected by it, in which the public was sure to share. Will co-operation and the Golden Rule soon stand no better in the public regard than their prede cessors? Will legislatures and courts tmrsue them? Cynical persons will suggest that in this noble system with the fine ethical name one ractor nas been left out. Will these Golden Rul ers love the consumer as themselves and do to the consumer as they do un to themselves? Chicago Tribune. NATURE'S BOUNTY. The shut-down of the carbon gas company's pumps at Saratoga marks the conservation of the people of a bounty of nature which for more than a generation past has been held for private emolument. Saratoga Springs was first exploited as a public resort. This developed into a gambling cen ter. Then came the seclusion of the springs for "pumping" purposes; the Eale of the waters having a commer cial importance. Then the state stepped in, declaring a public reservation of this district, and there has been a battle between local interests and the "anti-pumplng law" which has been carried up to the tribunal of ultimate authority, the su preme court of the United States. The decision of this court determines ana confirms the authority of the people. That ia to say, the people of the state of New York own practically by pur chase every flowing mineral spring in Saratoga, the price to be paid being agreed upon in the court of claims, including about 150 acres of land.

Kan., July 13, 1911. THE EVENING STORY Amy's Answer. (By Edna Herron.) Amy Crosby was entertaining Ger ald Blake. They sat or. the front porch of the farmhous enjoying the early evening breeze. Amy occupied the hammock and in Farmer Crosby's low rocker sat the young man who had recently returned from the East. Amy never tired of listening to the stories of the wonders he had seen. She wondered now why he was silent. "Gerald," Bhe said confidently. There was no answer and this was something serious for was she not his fiancee and entitled to attention? Slowly she turned her head. Gerald's eyes were glued to an object coming up the road. "By jove!" he said, "it is." Amy was staring her best at the dainty approaching vision in a rose- hued gown and white hat with roses nodding above the brim. "It is what?" said Amy. "It's Annabel Leighton." "I heard she was coming today; her people have moved back here, you know," said Amy. "But what's she coming here for?" 'Visiting. I suppose," raid Gerald. "We used to fight when we were little tots, Gerald, and 1 hr.ven't seen her since and She was going to add, "I don't want to," but Gerald was out of hearing. He had run down the steps and to the outer gate to open it. Amy watched them frcm her ham mock. She sat very stiff now and her eyes never left that rose-colored dream who had held Gerald's hand so long in greeting. She watched them pausw before they reached the house. They spoke in confidential tones. "Amy," said Gerald, when at last they reached her side, "you remember Annabel Leighton?" But Annabel broke In effusively, "We were great friends, Amy dear, when we wore our hair ip p s tails and sat in the front seat in school." "It was long ago," said Amy, but she added hospitably if weakly, "won't you come in?" "Thank you, no," said Annabel "let's sit here." She locked at Gerald and Amy sank back in her hammock. Sh knew she was staring rudely at the visitor but she could not figure It all out. wny did Annabel, whose parents had moved away when she was a little girl, come to see her on her first return? She had heard that Annabel was living in Boston. A vague rumor had said that she was on the stage That very morning she had heard that Annabel was exnected today at he parents' home. The more she thought of it the more bewildering it all was. Annabel herself was bewildering to look at, and her clothes were wondertul. The con versation went on without her and Amy presently realized that she was unnoticed in the presence or so mucn snlendor. "I must go and help mother," she said, rising. "You are a busy Amy," said Annabel without protest. Amy hesitated a mommt, but Ger ald was deep in conversation and did not notice when she left the porch. With flushed cheeks and qulvering'lips she went to her own room and locked the door. "She did not come to see me." said Amy to herself. "It's Gerald, and he never noticed when I left." The tears would come and she lay down on her bed and had a- good cry. Then her head began to ache and she got up and sat down in a chair. It h&.d grown dark but she would not make a light. Presently through the open window she hea-rd their voices, i.ot distinctly, for they were talking again in confi dential tones. Amy felt her cheeks burn like fire. "I think it will come out all right," Gerald's voice came clearly to her ears. What were they plotting there before her very eyes "Yes, you predicted that in Boston," said Annabel, and Amy almost screamed. They had met then in Boston. This solved part of the mystery. This was the reason she had come and through all her own misery and self pity she felt a burning contempt for the girl. One more sentence burned itself Into her heart as she sat at the win dow, her tearful eyes stiring out into the night. Annabel's soft voice reach ed her on the evening air. "Love is the only thing in the world that matters, Gerald," Annabel was saying. After that their voices grew lower still and later her mother's voice called her from her room. Amy would not answer and after a "while she saw them both go slowly down the path, Annabel's roses nodding In the breeze. The next afternoon Farmer Crosby himself saw Gerald leaving the Leigh ton home. That night he called on Amy and she refused to see him. After that on several occasions Gossip told the same story. He had been seen with Annabel but the worst was that Anna bel would see no one else. There was mystery In her visit to her childhood's home, said Gossip, but tc Amy it was all as clear as day. She returned to Gerald the engage ment ring; she sent back his letters unopened and steadfastly refused to see him. It was a month of torture but she tried to face her duty bravely. Today she brought her book out to the back orchard, sat down under a tree and tried to read. The sun was going down and the words were jumping about in unwarrantable fashion when she looked up and saw him coming. In another moment she would have been safe beyond his reach but he caught her just in time. "'This won't do, Amy," Gerald's words were brave, but he nearly quail ed before the look of scorn in her eyes. '"Why do you come here?" the an gry voice was cutting and she held her head high. "What is the matter, dear?" "Stop, I won't be second fiddle, Ger ald Blake, I am through with you. Let mo go." "If you mean Annabel "I don't care anything about Anna bel," said Amy scornfully. "A girl who" Gerald understood. "Yes, she did come here to see me," he said, "but it was necessary. Now listen. Amy." "I will not." stormed Amy. "You met her in the East," and her eyes blazed as she thought of his deceit. "Yes," he answered. "She arrived here and tame straight to my home to see you. You did not tell me you saw her in Boston." "I could not then," he answered, but I can tell you all about it now. Annabel ran away and got married in Boston. We met by accident ana i helped her to keep the secret. I prom ised to keep it and I promised to help her fix it up here at home, which I have done. It was necessary to see me before she went home on her ar rival. It's all right now. Her father sent for the happy bridegroom yester day." All Amy's bravado was gone. She was crying softly on the grass. "Do you," her voice choked in her throat "yet?" "Do I?" Gerald smiled. "I think I do." he said. (Copyright. 1911, by the Associated Literary Press.) Togo's Naval Training. Togo's naval training was begun in England, where, as a young man, he attended the naval college in Green wich. He also inherited his taste for the sea, as he came of the Satsuma clan, a tribe noted for its great sea warriors. Indeed, prior to the time of the Chino-Japanese war, the Jap anese fleet was manned almost wholly by the Satsuma clan, just as the army was drawn from the Choshu clan. Nowadays, neither navy nor army is entirely given over to these, the two most powerful of the clans of Japan, but many men from all over the em pire are to be found in both services. When Togo entered the navy, how ever, its whole personnel was Sat suma. Returning to Japan he was em ployed in various capacities. In 1894, when war broke out between China and Japan, he was in command of the Naniwa, a cruiser of S."550 tons, one of the vessels composing what was then known as the first flying squad ron of the Japanese navy. During the war he greatly distinguished himself, and earned the reputation of being a first-class fighting man. It was in connection with the episode of the sinking of the Kcwshing that his ivame first came into world-wide prominence. At the time some ad verse criticisms of his action on that occasion were heard, but these died away on a fuller knowledge of the circumstances. The story reveals something of the character of the man, so it is worth telling. The Kowshing, a transport vessel flying the British flag, with a British captain and crew, and carrying some 1,100 Chinese soldiers for Asan, was met by Togo in the Naniwa, who sig naled to her, by firing two blank car tridges, to stop, which she did. There after a Japanese lieutenant went on board the Kowshing with a peremp tory order from Togo that the trans port must proceed no farther toward her destination, but ac once accom pany the Naniwa to the main Japanese fleet. Captain Galsworthy, of the Kowshing, was willing to obey these orders, but not so minded were the officers of the Chinese forces on the vessel; they immediately raised a great clamor, and threatened Gals worthy. Seeing what was occurring, Togo sent a boat to bring off Capt. Gals worthy and his crew; but meanwhile the disturbance and confusion on the Kowshing had increased, and the Chi nese prevented them from leaving her. Some time then passed, and at length Togo signaled Galsworthy to take one of his own boats and come over to the Naniwa, but the British captain was not allowed by the Chinese to do so. For four hours Togo stood off and on, trying to save him and the ship, but, finding there was no chance of this, he at last ordered the red flag, which announced that he was about to fire, to be hoisted. A few moments later a well directed shot from the Naniwa struck the engine room and penetrat ed the hull of the Kow-phing, which soon afterward filled and sank. As Galsworthy and his men leaped over the bulwarks of the transport into the sea, they were fired on bv the Chinese. Togo at once sent out boats and res cued as many as he could. In this way Togo began the Chino- Japanese war. His countrymen never forgot the part he playeu m this epi sode. Incidentally, he was surprised to find that the English captain, Gals worthy, had been an old classmate of his, years before, in the Greenwich naval college.' New York Evening Post.

JUSTICE R. Justice R. A. Burch of the state su preme court is one of the most en thusiastic fishermen in Kansas. At the annual dinner of t'ie Saturday Xight club Justice Burch gave utter ance to his exuberant thoughts on this subject in the following classic: For many years I have indulged with much enthusiasm, but with due inoderation, in the inepmnarable sport of capturing game fish in their native haunts, and I am proud lo be known and recognized as a member ol" the ancient and honorable society of ang lers. The members of cur society are not fishermen. Angling differs from fishing in that it is practiced, not as a means of obtaining a livelihood, but as a source of wholesome recreation and refined pleasure. It implies. In addition to a large funi'. of scientific knowledge and persona', experience, a certain degree of aesthetic culture, coupler! with moral and religious sus ceptibility. It is, therefore, pre rminently the scholarly gentleman's pastime. Indeed, angling takes high rank among the fine arts. The fisherman is likely to be self conceited and is usually a braggart. One of the most prominent character istics of the angler Is his modesty and his reserve. While he treasures with the utmost delight and cride his rods and reels and lines and lures and other paraphernalia of the sport, he never makes a show of them or boasts about them. His experiences have been so rich and so varied that his unembel ished narratives are more engaging than the fisherman's mst elaborate exaggerations. He is reluctant to con fide stories of his prowess to any one except to a brother angler, and the (spirit of contentious rivalry is so com pletely subdued in the angler that, coming to camp witli two or three Rood llsh after a hard day, he will not violate the proprieties b; tantalizing those who have none. St If poised and considerate, he trusts hi1; pre-eminent merits to penetrate by force of their own energy and brilliancy. The angler is always a scrupulous respecter of the rights of others. If lie discover that some one eise is fish ing ills favorite pool, without hesita tion and without resentment he seeks unother place. If his brother be fish ing up stream he proceeds to work down stream. Not so, however, with the fisherman. If a pleasant spot in RACE BETWEEN New York City, July 15.

How he Is disappointed in his expectations and falls in love with the farmer's daugh ter and how they give up their 'car eers' the boy. a business life on Wall street, and the girl, a musical educa tion in Europe for the simple life of a Western Kansas farm, is all told in a pleasing manner and the whole story is full of tender sentiment.

BURCH. the shade on the bank or" a stream af fording a good run of fish be pre empted when he arrives, he plants himself at his rival's elbow, casts where he cats, fouls the lines and finally drives the dignified and self effacing angler away in oissus-t. The fisherman, like the pot hunter, is out for meat and "everything goes" with him. Nets, seins, traps, trot lines, hand lines and ern dynamite are the implements of his trade. No angler ever sets out with the specific purpose of making a grei.t killing. He likes to bring home a good string, but. after all, the magnitude of the catch is a minor consideration. He resents fish slaughter as he does manslaughter. It takes no law to prohibit him from spearing fish. This is something nfl gentleman will do. He takes no more than will satisfy the true sportsman's instinct, returns the younf and under sized, unharmed, to the water, and scorns to use tackle of a weight or strength that does not recognize the fish as a worthy antagonist and give him a fair show for his life. There Is an unreasoning prejudice in some quarters against bait fishing. Bait fishing is not merely permissible and respectable but it Is in accord with the best traditions o" angling, when pursued in a proper way. There are fewer anglers who can make an accurate and deliberate cast of a liv ing bait than there are who can suc cessfully handle an artificial fly, and besides, when the mood is on the fish the use of live bait is an indispensable condition to his capture. Many times I have dropped an artificial fly in front of a veteran trout or bass lying In a pool in the shadow of a shelving rock and have seen him inspect it and back away from it like an independent voter from a party platform If I had tempted him with a genuine live bait he would have taken it and all my skill would have been put to test in the en suing battle. No one can appreciate fully the transports with which a bountiful Providence has blessed the lot of His creatures, until, tossing about on the league long rollers which break upon the painted cliffs of Santa Catalina, he has taken the leviathan sea-bass with a hook, or with dogged perseverance and with muscles of iron and nerve of steel he has met tho tireless rushes of the leaping tuna.

In the Introduction to his new book, Members of the Famiiy, Owen Wister converses charmingly and In timately about his own afiairs. particu larly his writing. It is a pleasure to read his graceful tribute to those of his fellows from whom he has derived inspiration. Mr. Wister has no false pride about his writings He is willing, indeed anxious, to let his many read ers know what authors have helped him. Of the beginning of his literary career he says: "Writin?- has been a constant pastime since the school pa per; in 1884 Mr. Howelis Chow kind he was!) had felt my literary pulse and pronounced it promising; a quick ening came from the pages of Steven son; a far stronger shove next from the genius of Plain Tales from the Hills: during an unusually long and broad wandering through the Platte valley, Powder River, Buffalo, Chey enne, Fort Washakie, Jackson's Hole, and the Park, the final push happened to be given by Prosper Merimee; I had the volume containing Carmen with me.

While the thermometer hovers around the hundred mark and the broad stretches of asphalt on Capitol Hill are fairly sizzling with heat, the senate of the United States is wrestling with the reci procity bill and the other measures which the president insists that they shall decide upon before they are allowed to go home for the summer. Through the intense heat the members are se en going backiand forth from their offices and the senate building. Lightweight clothes are the vogue and everything is sacrificed for comfort.

And there is an in effable charm, in fishing with a lithe rod in dark pools fringed with blue gentian and white birches, or beneath the shadows of tall pine trees falling far out upon the placid waters of a northern lake; in the noiseless gliding of the light canoe through opalescent water, while trolling for pickerel or for muskalonge: in the graceful sweep In upper air of the artificial fly before It vaults across a frothing cistern chis eled out of solid rock by a torrent tumbling down the mountain side, and alights, softly as thistle down, where low submerged the princely trout is lying; in the wistful waiting for a bite the donkey.

These things weave magic spells about the angler until all the selfish ness, the envy, the ranccr and the riot ous pride with which he must cope in the crowded town are forgotten as completely as if they had never been endured and he feels that his own be ing has been caught up by the forces of nature and mingled w'th the woods and waters like the shining mist which lies like a silver veil beneath the pa tient and eternal stars. I have heard golf praised as if It were a sport w-orthy of mention In competition with angling. I do not desire to enter into any controversy with the devotees of golf, but I will say this: The angler holds communion with the most entrancing of nature s visible forms. To him Bhe speaks her most various language er.if. an outing spent in angling is completely filled with trembling expectation of ap proaching gratification, with the in toxication of consummated joy, and with the sweet relaxation after full enjoyment in which the spirit gains fresh strength for renewed delight. Therefore, I go angling where the vain jangle of contentious tongues cannot reach me; where there is per fect release from mind corroding care; and where I can be alonn with nature, with my own soul, and with destiny. f Grow With a Growing Bank Vie want Hie small account and have every facility for handling the large one.

It Was Brief, But Fun Lasted. While It Mr. Bowser had one of his good streaks on. He came home to pet the cat, who ran down to the gate to meet him, and to give Mrs. Bowser a smile as he ascended the steps. He made no kick at all during dinner, but on the contrary had several w;rds of praise. When the meal had been finished and they had ascendtd to the sitting room he said: "Mrs. Bowser, you met the doctor on the street the other day, didn't you '"Yes." "He told me so today. He said you were looking fagged out. I think you are myself. The hot weather Is pull ing you down." "Oh, I don't know," she replied. "I haven't felt so very well for the last week, but there'll come a cool day and I shall braco up. You are looking a bit fagged yourself." "I feel so. We both of us need a vacation. We ought to have two weeks or a month off." "Y-e-s." "And we are going to have. We can get away ajs well as not. From two to four weeks in the country or on the seashore would make us feel like new beings." "But you've looked everv summer for the last five years and haven't found a place." "And I'll tell you why. I've expect ed too much. I've been thinking it over and I know that's the reason.

"The farmer says it's ijotliir.g extra and as he is honest in this respect I believe he is in others. There will be green meadows, a brook, a hill, a bit of forest and so on. I hall not look for scenery, however. The sight of a mountain 5,000 feet high is not going to put fat on our ribs." "Is the place on a railroad?" "It's 10 minutes walk from the de pot." "And when are you going to see about it?" "Tomorrow. I shall go out there on the 9 o'clock train, and within two days we shall be established in that bungalow. I have somehow got the feeling that we have struck it at last." The matter was talked over for an other hour.

Mr. Bowser began to feel chills go over him as he walked aiong, but be decided to hope for the best and asked the lad: "You have fresh eggs, of course?" "When we buy 'em!" was answered. "How about milk?" "The milkman leaves it every day." "But you have fresh vegetables?" "Well, you sec, pa and ma are o busy running the villa that we doat make garden;" Mr. Bowser paused in the middle of the road as if in doubt whether to go on. "Might as well come on," said ths boy.

Tr has become the lad now to cover j the costume with a wrap, or an j apology for a wrap, for the diaph- anoua scarves and cloaks of chif fon, net and lace are really no more than that. They give the wrap-lines, but offer not a particle of warmth. Warmth, however. Is not a require ment of the summer wrap, which is rmllr donned only as a covering and Kiast needs he as light and cool as carefully chosen fabric can make It. In a season of wrap wearing one feels absolutely out of place and bad ly dressed In a ceremonious gown and hat worn without some drapery over the shoulders. Even the little gauze ecarf seema to lend a comfortable feeling of dignity and correctness of garb, and this summer one sees only wearers of Informal tub frocks "out In their figure." as our New England cousins have the phrase. Wraps of All Ijengths and Shapes. Some of the summer wraps touch the floor; some are diminutive affairs that are merely thrown over the shoulders, and usually the material Is transparent; or, if not transparent, no soft, thin and limp that it gives the suggestion of transparency. A beautiful examplo of these near transparent wraps is shown In the gold crepe evening coat with a deep collar of lace. Japanese crepe In gold and bronze tones is the material of this wrap and the lining. Invisible In the photograph, is of gold colored chiffon. The cut of this cloak is pe culiar, yet wonderfully graceful, the wrap falling in loose folds and taper ing at the bottom Into the shaped satin band which is In a tone match ing the dominant color of the gar ment a tawny yellowish brown. This satin, with enormous ball buttons as a trimming feature, forms the lower portion of the sleeves. The superb carrickmacrosB collar which covers the entire top of the wrap and hangs In a graceful cape effect at the back Is the striking feature of this beauti ful model and Is the reaaon of its ex orbitant price. Tawny brown is a favorite color for handsome wraps for wear over smart afternoon frocks. It is interesting this revived vogue of brown shades. Last summer brown was as dead as a last yeaj-'B fashion magazine. Brown linens and foulards could be picked up for a song. Brown In a garment costing over three figures was unheard of. But now all the brown shades are back in high favor and the choice ranges from buff down through mus tard, tobacco and wood browns to a rich, deep seal. It Is said that an English actress who adores brown and never gives it up whether it is in or out. of fashion is responsible for Its revival. Her tan and cream frocks i. with ecru laces were so lovely that other women could not resist copy ing them. This actress wore at Long champs recently a tawny enuff brown satin coat, which was cut in a most peculiar manner. One side of the coat was In kimono effect, there be ing no shoulder or arm seam. The front and back breadths extended across the figure to within two inches of the opposite arm where the ma terial lapped over a side gore, shoul der and sleeve portion, the sleeve be ing set in with slight gathering at the top. Where the two sections Joined there were seams at front and back of the coat from neck to hem, the opening coming at the seam in front; and both these long seams were out lined with small covered buttons and silk cord loops set close together. Under this snuff brown satin coat was the most adorable frock of ecru batiste trimmed with rows of cream lace and the batiste puffed over cord ings. At the foot of the skirt was a hem of bronze velvet and there was a corresponding touch of the dark vel vet in the bow of the straight sash of cream lace. The hat worn with this costume was a wide brimmed affair of black straw, faced with ecru lace Full Rompers May Be Slipped Over Pretty Frocks.

When the business of the morning Is making sand pies or mess ing in a garden white is out of the question, for even if the snowy rai ment be put on fresh each morning and afternoon, the hard scrubbings it must receive in the wash tub soon destroy the fabric. Khaki cloth fills a long-felt want in the case of summer raiment for the small boy. It is cooler and softer than the sturdy blue denim, less ex pensive than linen and stouter than galatea. There is a smartness, too, about brown khaki togs, with brown socks, tie and shoes. But for the little girl khaki seems somehow in appropriate. Her play is seldom as strenuous as the boy's and soil rather than wear and tear are the foes to be contended with. Gingham, galatea, linen and cotton chambray are all serviceable materials for play cos tumes, but If chambray Is used plenty of room should be allowed for shrink age, as this fabric seems to shrink almost a third of its length in the tub. Several practical and pretty styles of the Indispensable romper are pic tured. Blessed be the day as far as mothers are concerned when the romper came Into existence. Prior l to that sweet little girls were made grotesque and hideous by blue over alls like their brothers, and before tho overall day was the day of the checked apron, which was hot and un comfortable about the throat and wrists and did not protect the lower part of the frock at all. There are some rompers which may be slipped on over a pretty afternoon frock when occasion requires, and the small maiden, so protected after being togged out In her dainty white after- with quite modest proportions, has grown larger and larger until now it has developed into a veritable cape which hangs below the waistline at T "7 7 T Kate Greenaway Apron of Printed Linen. noon frock to go calling with mamma, will not come to grief by sitting down on the dusty porch steps and allowing Fido's muddy feet to paw over her, while mamma is completing her own toilet above stairs. A dozen of these protecting romp era are none too many to provide for the little girl who is to spend the summer season out of doors, and a capable seamstress should be able to turn off half a dozen in a day with the exception of the buttonholes, which may be made at odd moments.

Gay Little. 8b.ou.Ider Wraps txave "Rettcules the back and completely covers the arms. One of these cape collars is shown. This wrap is built of Coro nation red chiffon embroidered with small beads of the same color In a graceful grape-leaf design, the bead embroidery weighting down the chif fon so that the wrap Is very cling ing and graceful. A broad hem of red satin gives additional weight at the foot and the cape collar Is also edged with the red satin, a red and gold gimp trimming adding brilliancy to this rich wrap. The cape Is weight ed at the back by a huge tassel made of the puffed satin and gold cord. Red chiffon wraps are the fad in Paris this summer and some of the vivid hued garments are strikingly beautiful; but American women do not take kindly to red for some rea son or other and the flame colored gown, wrap or hat Is the exception here even In a large gathering. A type of summer wrap that exem plifies the assertion that summer wraps are Intended to give lines and not warmth Is illustrated In the model of blue chiffon, which Is a cross be tween a circular cape and a sleeved coat a very graceful cross, one must admit, and a very cleverly constructed one, for the chiffon folds fall In ex quisite lines from the shoulders and are confined at the bottom of the wrap in a shaped hem of velvet which gives sufficient weight to keep the chiffon folds in position. There Is no trimming on this wrap except the deep hems at front and C7 7 7 C C7 7 7 7C comes in make good looking rompers, and white cotton braid or the colored embroidered trimmings which come by the yard will make a pretty finish around neck and sleeves. The romper may have a narrow band at the neck or may be cut out In a shallow circle or square. The sleeves should not come below the elbow, for this Is a play garment and little arms are hap pier when free to dig, and dip In water without cuffs to get damp. The fine checked ginghams also make pretty rompers. Linen, If not too heavy In weave, may also be used, but few mothers care to go to the expense of linen rompers. A clever little mother who has four tots to keep clean and happy In a suburban garden fashions rompers out of men's discarded shirts. All the shirts of her husband, brothers and other near male relatives are pressed into service as soon as discarded. The tails of a negligee shirt are usually strong and unworn long after the neck and cuff portions have worn thin and from these tails the lower part of the romper Is cut, the best bits taken from sleeves and upper portion going Into the top of the little garment. In this way very satisfactory rompers for children may be turned out at no expenditure except of time. Some linen and galatea play aprons are Illustrated also. The Kate Green away sand apron is made of natural colored linen and is designed for wear at the beach, the pretty little frock and petticoats being removed on the sand under an umbrella before the play apron Is put on. For wading the loose trouser legs may be rolled up and, as the photograph shows, there are no sleeves to get wet, the armholes being deep and roomy. The edges of the apron are bound with blue braid and on the front there Is a printed Kate Greenaway figure rep resenting a nursery rhyme. These attractive Kate Greenaway to rf atch sleeve edges, which are made of a darker blue chiffon applied with hem stitching. The picture shows only the grace of the model, but does not hint at the lovely coloring of the stone blue chiffon over white chiffon, with hems of darker blue chiffon and vel vet. Three cornered chiffon wraps, de signed for afternoon wear over dainty summer frocks are quaintly reminis cent of, the graceful lace shawls worn In the fifties. The lady of the fifties could drop her laoe wrap from he shoulders when she desired and allow It to rest upon the swelling slope of her crinolined skirt, but the modern wrap-wearer, if she drops her wrap from her shoulders, draws It In, in scarf fashion to emphasize the cling ing effect of her skirts. A woman at Newport the other afternoon wore one of these three-cornered wraps made of black Brussels net with no trimming save for the five-inch hem around the three sides. The corners of the wrap were weighted with black silk tassels and the airy little affair. worn over a thin white marquisette gown, gave a touch of dignity and dis tinction which the gown could never have possessed alone. Another three-cornered wrap was noted recently at a casino fete at one of the summer resorts. This wrap was of golden brown chiffon printed with huge, splashing roses In shades of darker brown with flecks of orange. Around the edge was a hem of golden brown satin and the tassels were of aprons come in various colors and with different nursery rhyme pictures, and they may also be copied at home, for the design is very simple. Quaint and pretty is an embroidery linen gardening apron, which would be equally well adapted for mud-pie making or any other messy occupa tion dear to four-year-old hearts. This apron is made of dark blue linen in simple pinafore style, the body of the apron being gathered to a shal low yoke, which is fastened over the shoulders with ribbon ties. The apron may hang loose or have a stitched belt Indicated in the illustration. This particular apron is made very gay with strips of the embroidered ootton trimming, spoken of earlier, in shades of red and white on a blue ground and the handy and delightful reticule which swings from the belt is also garnished with the red em broidery.

There is a Btatelinesa about the three-cornered wraps which makes them unsuited to younger wo men; a debutante in such a wrap looks like a little girl dressed up In grown folks' attire. By the same token the woman verging on middle age should avoid the stately and dig nified wrap which lends im preset ve ncss and years, and stick to the grace ful coat or abide by the frivolous lit tle shoulder scarf, which is more youthful in suggestion. Shoulder Wraps More Toothful Than Long Ones. An adorable debutante wrap of corded chiffon, with a hat and reti cule to match, are shown In one of the illustrations. The scarf is made of violet chiffon, six yards or more of the filmy material being shirred over cable cords into the two and a half yard length of the scarf. The ends are caught together to form tabs, which hang just below the waist line when the wrap is In plaoe on the shoulders, the ends of the scarf being rounded in shape instead of straight across, and the cords going around the ends. A wreath of fine lllao sprays is sewed between the two outer rows of cording all along the edge of the scarf and the shirred chiffon reticule and hat are trimmed with clusters of the lilacs. The wrap is lined with lllao chiffon matching the outside and this little wrap, with its rows of cording, closely shirred ma terial and trimming bands of flowers, has really a substantial weight and forms more of a protection over thin frocks than the usual sort of chiffon shoulder scarf. The same model is shown, made of white chiffon, with white lilacs. Pale blue chiffon with forgetmenots would alsj be charm ing on a young girl. The reticule in this photograph Is carried in the modish manner- with very long cord handles looped over the shoulder, the bag hanging under the arm. Reticules are carried in this way with all the smart afternoon frocks this summer, and one sees even shopping reticules swinging from the shoulder in this fashion. Wraps for Summer Dancing Frocks. A lovely pink chiffon coat for even ing wear is pictured in one of the illustrations. This coat Is particular ly graceful and the embroideries done In self color on the sheer material make the wrap very handsome. There Is a deep square collar with square Incroyable revers at the front, the wrap fastening below the revers and falling thenoe to the floor In a straight panel. There Is a similar straight panel at the back and these panels are apparently caught together over side panels by embroidered chains; though the chains are, of course, worked on the side panels and the fronts and backs are tacked fast by invisible stitches. This pink chiffon wrap is lined throughout with allover Val lace. Oriental and especially Indian ef fects will be extravagantly fashionable because of the potentates visiting in London during the Coronation sea son, and the English king's projected visit to the Durbar. Indian wraps are gorgeous and it must be confessed somewhat bizarre in coloring for a quiet taste, and after several seasons of pastel shades the bold reds, yel lows and blues of the Indan modes will be hard to get used to. Luxurious Wraps With Bathing Cos tumes. It is even the fad now to cover the bathing dress with an all-enveloping wrap, but that this demure costume Is owing to coquetry rather than mod esty is evidenced by some of the bath ing costumes that are revealed when the big cape is slipped off at the water's edge. These new "cutaway" bathing suits, as they are called, have been barred from many of the beaches even when covered, on Ihe sand, by the capes of taffeta r'ud rubberized silk.

Iteddick of St. Muryp, Kansas, announce the enga? ment of their daughter Mae to Mr. Frank Robert Prina of New York city, the wedding to take place about th! Jirst of .September. The exact date of the marriage has not yet been deter mined, nor where the wedding will take place. While Miss Keddiek's home is in St. Marys, she has been so much in Topeka from time to tim;, that she is regarded by her friends here as a Topeka girl. She came here to study voice a number of years ago and made her home with her un'de and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John K. Mul vane. Later she went to New York to study, tine has lately been under the tutelage of Madame Valer an Italian teacher of New York. Last year she was soloist in a Presbyterian church of Jrast Orange, and she will contiiui ln the same position upon her return ast next fall. She came to Topeka early in the summer and is now a guest at the J. H. Mulvane home, and will divide her time during the sum mer between Topeka and her home in St. Marys. She is said to possess ex ceptional musical talent, a well train ed voice of natural beauty and powrr. and certainly she is a girl of unusual personal charm and attractiveness. Mr. Prina is a business man, being head of the credit department of the Washburn-Crosby Flour company, whose mills are at Minneapolis, Minn., but who have business offices in New York. Mr. Prina also is musical, and the ro mance which is to culminate in his marriage to Miss Keddick, had its be ginning In the common interest of their love of music. Their acquaint ance extends over a period of three or four years. Mr. Prina is an accom plished, though not a professional sinner. Miss Iteddick expects to con tinue her musical studies after h.-r marriage, and is now preparing "or concert work. After their marriage, Mr. Prina and his bride win make their home in New York. Something unique i-i the wav of hats is shown today one which should appeal to the clever needle woman. This is a large ?iat of em broidered linen with bowl shaped crown. The entire hat is embroidered in eyelets: around the crown is a narrow folded band of linen with small flat how on the right fide. On the left is a number of leaves and htem, each made of tho embroidered linen. These pretty tub hats are one of the season's most chaining novel ties and in this instance the dainty touch of color under the brim adds greatly to the beauty of the hat.

Dougherty's Always Busy. From coast to coast, in half a dozen foreign countries are tc be found stud ents and exponents of the Dougheriv Business college. In Topeka, students of this hustlin? business training school are to be found in every line of clerical activity. The presence of many manufacturing institutions, railroad offices and the Santa Fe general offices afford especial ly favorable opportunities for the grad uate from Topeka business colleges to find employment and pleasant positions with splendid futures. This school holds an enviable position in the esteem of Topeka citizens and merits it by the thorough training given young people who receive business training from this institution. Earning Power. "The professions have their special ties, a dozen each but business has 2,000 specialties or divisions." Elbert i.ubbard. A man should be able to suport a family. A woman should be able to support herself if necessary. A bank account of one's own building makes a man independent, gives him relf reliance. It is stimulating and healthful. But the ability to earn it is worth more than the money Itself. The present age is an age of com merce, industry of business. Money returns are mora dead sure. Advancement is more rapid. Opportunities are greater. The ultimate rewards, not only th5 most alluring but of more real value in return for the same ability, capacity and brains in business than any other occupation. "The young man who starts out at this time will stand but little chance without business trcining. The mer cantile profession must be studied just the same as that of medicine, law and too much praise cannot be given tJ these training schools." John Wana maker. BASEBALL IMPEDES RELIGION. Dakotans Talk and Think of Nothing Else, Preacher Says. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 15. "The two great Impedimenta to religion in the northwest are the baseball and the money craze." declares Rev. R. W. Mc Cullough. pastor of the leading Baptist church here in a report to his con gregation on a western trip. "The westerners are baseball mad," he says. "It Is baseball seven days of the week, Sunday and Monday alike. In the Dakotas they prefer going to a ball game to going to church. They go by train, trolley and automobile scores of miles. When they return home they are so full of the feats of the heroes of the diamonds that they can think of notbing else." Prepare for Kaees. Kalamazoo, July 15.

Phone 957 820 Kansas Avenue I An extremely simple little dress suitable for such materials as ging hams, linen, chambray, etc., is sketch ed today. The foundation of the frock is simplicity itself, its smartness and charm resulting from the pleasing ar rangement of the lace which is used. There is a round collar having two tucks on the edge and a center of darker material upon which lace is applied. The short sleeveB are fin ished by two tucks and a row of lace insertion runs from neck to hem on either side of the front. A length of the lace edging is applied around the bottom of the blouse, scallop up ward. "Man never is, but always to be blest." Pope. "Some of us are always putting off our enjoyments. After awhile we ex pect to take a rest, visi? a friend or read a book, but that time never comes. All life is spent in meaning to overtake it, and enjoy it. Meanwhile we toil, drudge and grow old, passing by with unseeing eye the happiness we might get out of every day." It seems to me the first line of that second quotation might well read "most of us" instead of "some of us." For how rare is the person who doesn't go through life that way. Someday we must get a chance to look up that old friend who is living in the next town, we say. Someday we must take time to read that book that everybody tells us we would enjoy so much. Someday we must get time to go up to the art gallery and look at that beautiful new Madonna or go to vesper services at that Church where they have such wonderful music. And then the days and the weeks and the months and the years of rou tine living go on and yet "Someday" does not come. I remember once when I was a lit tle girl, having been put off many times by a promise that I should do this or that "someday," that I went to my mother and asked her if she wouldn't please set a certain day and let it be. "someday that is the day when all mv someday promises should be ful filled. And yet now that I'm grown up and am the master of my own somedays, I'm just like the rest of the world I spend much of my life "in meaning to overtake it and enjoy It." I let my somedaya drift about in a nebulous fu ture instead of having them today, as I so easily might. Now is the best time to be happy as well as the best time to accomplish things. Now is the time to take that rest, visit that friend, see that picture, hear that music. How dare we leave these happinesses to someday. Why "Someday" is a long ways beyond tomorrow and tomorrow who knows that tomorrow shall ever be? The favorite saying or one of the wisest men I ever knew was "There Is no such thing as tomorrow." "Let us lay hold of the happiness of today. Do we not go through life blindly thinking that some fair tomor row w-ill bring us the gift we missed today? Know thou heart, if thou art not happy today thou ehalt never be happy." "I love little children and it is no small thine when they who are fresh from God love us." Dickens. Almost everybody in the car was smiling at the Little Boy. That sweet smile of friendliness and pleasure and touched hearts I mean, not the ordinary smile of amusement. You see, he was euch an enthusias tic, happy, off-for-a-lark little boy. Where we the luckless grown-ups about him could see outside the car windows nothing but a perfectly ordi nary street he what wonders he saw!

The car to him was a triumphal chariot. The street he saw through the all transforming viewpoint of the car windows, a land enchanted, and the shopping tour on which Little Boy and "muwer" were apparently bound, a wonderful pilgrimage fraught with infinite possibilities of delight. Muv ver, I shall have a soda down town, shan't I?" What wonder, then, that everybody in the car smiled at the Little Boy and inwardly thanked him for reminding them of the time when they were Little Beys or Little Boys' little sis ters and could see magic landscapes out of street ear windows and magic possibilities in shopping tours? But there, I didn't mean to say everybody. That's just the point of my tale. Tou'll note that in the first line I said "almost everybody." And that's just what I mean. The person who is responsible for the "al most" intruding on that sentence sat next to Little Boy. She was a lady evidently with a capital I in her own estimation, and a dubious right to the title at all if you make lady" really mean a gracious and courteous person of the feminine persuasion. She had on a blue broadcloth suit and she was so afraid the Little Boy might in his enthusiasm tub the tip of his- little snub nosed brown shod toes against that dress that she just sat and glared at him. Not that he did offend that way no, not once although he was kneeling on the car seat in that highly conveni ent observation attitude that we all used to take in the very long ago. But of course there was a bare chance that he might. And so the lady sat ar.d glared. That's the kind of lady I should hate to have to live in the same house with. Don't you mistrust anybody that looks cross at children? I do. In one of Inez Gillmt-re's Phoebe stories she makes Phoebe's- mother say of the man who is paying court to her daughter, that she mistrusts him be cause "she had seen for a long time that he hated children, although he did his best to conceal it." I certainly sympathize with that mother. I'd feel just the way she did if Phoebe were my daughter.-. Or if I had a son and I observed the same thing of the girl that he brought home to show me. The girl who makes fuss over every baby or little child on the street cars, is a bore. One always suspects her of being affected. But I am inclined to think that the other extreme is much vorse. Depend upon it, the person who can glare at a child or look cross at a little baby on the street car, is a person to most sedulously avoid. Do women actually er,joy brooding over troubles both their own and other people's? I sometimes wonder that when I see a group of women avidly and appar ently delightedly intent upon some lugubrious tale of illness rr misfor tune. "Yes, isn't it the saddest thing you iever heard? Her eon comes home run A dainty sprigged muslin is pio tured today whose possibilities of easy development should recommend it. The simple blouse has i. simple "V" shaped arrangement of lace at the neck around which is gathered a nar row ruffle of white moussline. The short sleeve is finished by a shaped lace band and shows an underaleeve of tucked mousseline finished by a ruf fle of the same. The skirt is fin ished by ruffles of the mousseline put on in the outline of deep panlers, and across the front is a broad band of lace. Girdle of black velvet with tasseled end and loop. drunk night after night terribly drunk, too, so that he sings and laughs and wakes up the neighbors And she such a nice, respectable woman, and a widow, and he her only son. And they say she sits up every night till he gets in, no matter how late it is; Just sits there in the dark by the window where she can watch for him. I de clare, I almost cry sometimes when I hear him come in." Doubtless Mrs. R, being a sympa thetic woman, really was saddened by the tragedy of the poor little widowed mother sitting in the dark by the win dow straining her eyes lnt- the night for the boy whose com'ng she feared as intensely as she longec? for it. And yet, if she were really moved almost to tears, if she reolly were sad dened and depressed by the realiza tion of the other women's suffering, why then, did she pass along the story, knowing it would probably sadden and depress others? Why, furthermore, did she tell it twice in the course of the afternoon when new comers arrived Why, moreover, did v-e tell It each time with new and vivid an.d depress ing details., and almost I truly mean no insult, Mrs. R, you're just like all the rest and almost with gusto. Why, again, did the other women urge her to repeat her story, when each new comer arrived There were plenty of pleasant things to talk about. It was a very beautiful day. The crocuses in our neighbor's garden were in bloom. One of our number had just come back from a long jour ney and another had just sean the brand new baby of an old neighbor of ours. We spoke of all these things casual ly, but we dwelt on none of them. It was our neighbor's misfortune that we reserved for that honor. Of course, you have all noticed with what gusto any bearer of unpleasant news performs his mission. "There is a diphtheria card on the Jones' door. They say It's the baby; and he'3 such a sickly little thing, too." "Did you hear about Mrs. L? Why, she was thrown from her carriage and broke her collar bone and three ribs, and they think she s injured in ternally." "Isn't It terrible about Mr. R? What, haven't you heard? Why, he's stolen several thoupand dollars from his bank. It's all in the afternoon papers his picture and everything. poor Mrs. R." Can you deny that the bearers of news of that sort always seem to gloat over the precious morsels. And yet we say; "Laugh and the world laughs with j ou. Weep and you weep alore." I should think "weep and you have a delighted audience" would be nearer the mark. "I intend to wake Congress up be fore I get through," said the new member. "My friend," replied Sen ator Sorghum, "don't stop with merely waking Congress up. Se-- if you can't do something to make the framerB of the United States Constitution turn over in their graves."

IS THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, JUT.Y 15, 1911 The Dream of The Dentist Surgeon Becomes a Reality Millions of Poor and Un fortunate Tooth Suf ferers Are Rejoicing. The painful way of dentistry in the future is as unnecessary as it is hnr Varous, as the discovery of the locaj anaesthetic Anzone recently made by Painless Komine has completely revo lutionized dentistry, makes it possible to perform all operations painlessly to the patient. The one great redeeming feature Is the fact that Anzone contains no harmful drugs, no cocaine, morphine chloroform or ether. Does not effect IhH weakest heart, does not render vou unconscious, causes no sickncsr, before or after the operation. No sore puma or after effects. Anzone is as harmless as water and as certain as time yet so effectual that placing one drop' in the cavity of a tooth the live nerve can be removed without the pa tient actually knowing the operation is in progress. App.lying it to the cums the most sensitive and defective tooth can be extracted absolutely painlessly which is a supreme test. J? you onlv knew the active principle of Anzone you would wonder why tn discovery wan not made before and paved so' much suffering.

It is owned and exclusively used by Painless nomine, find his assistants in h's dental otnees nt Topeka and Wichita, Kan. It is the anesthetic that he refused an offer of thirty thousand dollars made to him hv 'the great eastern dental as sociation for the exclusive right to ue same. Hundreds of prominent peopla having it used in connection with dental operations have come for ward and positively declared that Anzone is a Godsend to suffering hu manity. It mav be that you have den tal work that ought to be done, per haps the only reason you have been putting it off is the dread of pain, you do not want to he hurt. Now that vou have absolute assurance that when patronizing Painless Romine vou suffer no pain whatever connected with the dental operations. Why in the world do you keep putting it off? You know vour teeth need attention, delay only adds to the expense. Then again when patronizing Painless lio rriine vou- are dealing with one who is responsible for all contracts, you get he best dental work at the lowest price, and when his signature appears helow a guarantee upon your dental work it is as good as a check en dorsed by any brink of Topeka. Do not let distance stand in your way if you are a tooth sufferer. Railroae fare and time should be no object if you take pain and good pental work in consideration. Tf impossible to consult him today, do so tomorrow, this week, this month or at your earliest convenience and above all impress his name and loca tion on your mind and this fact, that he performs all dental operations, no matter what the nature may he ab solutely painless.

All over the United States the ire departments in large cities and small towns have substituted the motor ma chines fer the horse-drawn wagons In Atchison, Kan., for instance, this move has been made. In small Kansas cit ies like Atchison. Hutchinson and Sa lina, the motor driven eppar.ii us is be ing placed in service. "The advantages over the horse drawn apparatus has been demonstra ted in every city where it has been in said Chief Wilmirth this after noon. "Fjlly 90 per cent of the fires in this country are discovered in thei- i::ci piency. If the time between the sound ing of the alarm end the first arrival of the horse apparatus could be saved by an automobile engine, the fire loss and the less of life would be reduced greatly. "The motor fire apparatus civets a radios twice as great as horsepower. The power of endurance on long and frequent runs in many times greater. "The first east of this re-.v lirr equip ment is greater but it will be over come in the long run. The greater speed and efficiency of this arparatus will iepay the taxpayers for the neces sary expense. Safety to life and pro perty is paramount to all. "The cost of maintenance is lw than the cost of horses. One horse thisilotte Bleakley, Howard Bieneman, year eats J100 worth of grain a vear and I Earle Bean. Bernice Boyles, Minnie L. next year I expect the price to run to $135 on account of the increased cost of grain. The motors cost nothing when not in actual service the horses are a continual expense. "1 am not in favor of substituting the entire department with motors at pres ent but I think this will be the event ual move in all cities in the country in the future." WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY. Crop Estimates Disappoint Bull Party Bond Market Dull. New York. July 15. Speculation based upon crop prospects resulted in animated fluctuations of stocks early in the week, following which the mar ket fell into a state of unusual dull ness. Operators whose expectations of a favorable government crop report led them to buy stock bid up prices sharply. The official figures were dis appointing to the bull party, and th market fell off.. .Stocks recovered later, a majority of traders taking the position that the outlook still favored good crops, despite the damage inflict ed by drouth and intense heat. The market for bonds became du.l, demand apparently having been re duced temporarily by the recent large offerings of new issues. Rates for time money showed a hardening ten dency. Reports of improvements in the steel trade were confirmed by the un expectedly large increase in "the total of unfilled orders of the United States bteei corporation at the end of June. The monthly report of the copper producers also indicated a more pro nounced improvement than had been looked for. the export movement in particular having been heavy.

Politicil agitators are making much capital out of the sit uation and are urging the people of both Sweden and Norway to overthro w the monarchies and establish republics in their stead. The government haa dispatched troops to all effective poin ts at the same time trying to mediate and prevent a colossal war of labor. Nearly 100.000 laboring men are now out of employment and a complete tie-up of all industrial organizations is anticipated. TEACHERS PASS EXAMS. One Hundred Sixteen V ill lie Given Certificates.

PRIZE KANSAS FISH STORY. John I. Brown of Minneapolis, Kan., Tells How J-lsh Was Caught In l og. Mr. John I. Brown of Minneapolis, Kan., who Is visiting his brother-in-law, Chief Justice W. A. Johnston of the Kansas supreme court, brought with him a fish story that might be doubted were it told by any one else, but a man of Mr. Brown's recognized veracity. Here is the story: A number of men who were running a portable saw mill on the banks of the Solomon river decided to devote some of their spare time to fishing. The water in the river is vety low and they wandered along the bank seek ing a suitable place to cast their hooks. One of them noticed a large hollow log, partly submerged, and go ing down into the water he plunged his arm into the log. His hand came in contact with a large fish and he pulled it out safely. It was an eight pound carp. Not satisfied with his exploration the man again inserted his arm into the log. This time he felt a nibble on his fingers and he forced his arm in full length into what prov ed to be the mouth cf an enormous catfish. The fish closed its jaws and then began a struggle in which the strength of the woodsman was match ed against that of the fish. The lish was finally dragged out with the man's arm still in its mouth, but he at last succeeded In forcing his hand out, though the act removed all the skin from the back of his hand and wrist and the fisherman will carry the marks of the encounter to the grave. The fish was killed and found to he a river cat which weighed 4 7 pounds. Its presence in the log is accounted for that the fish hunt for cool places during extremely hot weather such as Kansas has had for two or three weeks. NEGRO LEAVES $100,000 ESTATE Porter's Heirs Get Fortune Made by Investing Tips. Alexander Bay. Thousand Islands, July 15. In the death this week of A. J. Berry, colored, a porter for thirty five years at the pier here, a familiar figure in this region has passed away. Berry was strong in voice and size, making himself easily heard above the" score of other porters that throng the pier with the arrival of each steamer. Berry left an estate of about $100,000, which he had obtained by saving his tips aad investing them. Oil Deal Is Denled. New York. July 15.

One of the great differences in the treatment use- by the TTnited Doctors, who have their Topeka Institute at 610 Kansas avenue, and the treatment used by ordinary doctors is that the United Doc cause of the disease, while the ordinary doctor often only treats the symptoms. The resu.t of the United Doctors' treat ment Is a perma nent cure. The cause of the trou ble Is removed and the patient stays well. A case which il lustrates this point nicely 1 s that of Mrs. a. Lee of 13CS Douglas3 street, Omaha, Neb., who was cured last year and now, after the lapse of all that time to test the per manency of the cure, she is still strong and weil and writes as follows: "Omaha, Neb. "Dear Doctors For six years I was af flicted with stomach trouble and Indi gestion. Far several years I could not eat anything without great suffering and distress and was compelled to live on milk toast and I run down in weight to almost a skeleton. I had a pasty com plexion and bad color, and as several of my relatives had succumbed to tubercu losis, I feared that the same disease was to be my fate. "I began treatment with the United Doctors in January of this year and in three months from the time 1 started In. I was a well woman and have remained well ever since. I have gained in flesh until my friends hardly know me and am feeling fine in every way. I can now eat anything I want at all times and can sleep every night. I am sound and hearty and owe my present grood health entirely to the treatment of the United Doctors, whom I cannot thank enough for what they have done in my eae. "AIRS. B.

Like the poor, with the poor, with the rich, you find them everyhere, the Independent telephones. The tent and awning people say more awnings for private houses have been sold this year than at any other time. Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle came the merry sounds from the side refrigera tor box of an automobile as it rolled down Kansas avenue just after a trip to Kansas City. More than half of the cities in the country sustained a his loss in bank clearings this week. But despite the dry weather "little old Topeka" made a grood gain of 11 per cent. John Purcell. superintendent of the Santa Fe shops, has a trained horse a black beauty that he drives every day. It will go through every circus stunt demanded by his master. It is a wonder that an accident does not befall the young motorcyclists who race over the city with their girls on the front bfirs. A bad tire or a skid would spill the pair all over the pave ment. Eugene B. Stotts, secretary of the Happy Ann Cleanser company of To peka, is out in western Kansas In the interests of the company. This com pany will build a manufacturing; plant In Topeka and sell their materials out of this city. Mayor Billard has ordered the police to keep an eye on the 'motorcyclists. Complaints have come to the mayor's office of the pop-pops riding at break neck speed on sidewalks and on busi ness streets. Arrests will be made tor this in the future. The boys who have been swimming in the Kaw river say the fish are so hungry this dry weather that they nib ble at the boys' toes. In the shady nooks in the river the boys chase the fish in the water and several of them have been caught in this manner. Now that the ball team has won a few games, the fans in town are up and hollering again. Topeka would be the best baseball town on the Western league map if a good team could be organized for the city. With the new spirit and material now on the club, business should pick up. Hutchinson is following every To peka move in the state fair proposi tion. Topeka decided to celebrate the semi-centennial Hutchinson followed suit. Topeka decided to have towns send floats and Hutchinson tagged along. In other words the real state fair will lead in all attractions. A Topeka man was taien on a trip in Texas by two of his friends in a motor car. Along a lonely road at dusk the Topeka guest stepped out of the tonneau he was in it alone and the men in the front seat didn't know it until they had driven 15 miles ahead. Then they came back and found him so mad that he wouldn't speak to them. What would you have done? Here is a tip for the man who wants to ask a favor of the general manager of the Santa Fe and wishes to talk to him when he is in excellent spirits. Before you enter the general mana ger's office inquire of Henry Lautz as to the last report of the trains on the eastern lines. If they have all been on time and Mr. Lautz has reported the fact to General Manager Kouns just walk right in. MORGAN'S WATER 15 ILL HIGH. Every Time Servant Waters Iawn Tat Will Be "Hiked"' $5. New York, July 15. Because one of his employees watered his lawn with the hose last night, J. P. Morgan will be notified on Monday that an aucl tional tax of $5 has been placed against his property at Thirty-sixth street and Madison avenue. A policeman saw the servant sprink ling Mr. Morgan's grass and promptly made a report of the matter to his station house. The report was forward ed to the commissioner of water, gas and electricity. If Mr. Morgan's ser vants waters the grass about his man sion today he will impose another So tax on his employer. Then if Mr. Mor gan considers the tax too heavy the city will have a lien on his property. Mr. Morgan is abroad and the servant probably does not know that he is spending $5 a day for water. Mr. Mor gan will get the bill on his return home. BAR CHINESE FROM BOATS. Cnions Will Furnish Sailors for Fruit Company Boats. New York, July 15.
