Only Thing He Is Anxious About Is Responsibility. 0 WHOSE SHOULDERS Must Determine Who Is to En force Prohibitory Law. May Have Action Brought to Oust Sapp. Governor Stubbs, while in Topeka t3 attend a session of the executive coun cil, made himself clear in regard to his position on the John Jawson contro versy. The governor declared that it was not a personal muter between him feelf and the attorney general, but that rather a principle for which he has cjntendcu on the t-tump Had platform for years was involved. The governor has always held that in his official posi tion he was responsible for enforcement of the prohibitory law. Now that his responsibility has been questioned by the attorney general he wants the su preme court to decide who is the su preme executive authority of the state. If the attorney general lias superior powers to the governor in the campaign of law enforcement, thfn the governor wants to know it. fo be need not as sume the responsibility. "I have always taken the constitution seriously," he said, "when it declared that the supreme executive authority of the state is vested in the governor. If this is the wrong Interpretation of the law then I want the supreme court to pass upon the matter, and not John Da w son. "I have no personal quarrel with Mr Dawson, nor do I propose to engage in one with him. If our misunderstanding has been published and it has been made to apepar that we are quarreling, that s because trie attempt nau ueen mauc place nie in a false position in this to matter.

I sought to co-operate w ith Mr. Dawson and neip mm cioan He wanted to run the campaign up. in his own way. The question of su preme authority arose oetween us. That Is all there is to it. "The mandamus suit to compel the attorney general to summon witnesses is being prepared and will be filed soon. Of that you may be sure. The supreme court will settle the matter, and which ever way the decision goes 1 will be satisfied." The governor was emphatic in his declaration that politics had nothing to do with this controversy, and he s w no reason why politics should enter it at all. Thi governor will not consider any application for Judge Charles Lobdell's place until the judge's resignation is in his hands. The judge, as is well known, has bought a controlling interest ir. a hank and propo s soon to devote all his attention to the banking business. The university board of regents in charge of the work of establishing a school of mines in Weir City. Cherokee county with the $25,000 appropriation bv the last legislature for that purpose. have decided that conditions in that town are too bad at present to make it desirable place for a state schooi .f this character. Weir City is located in the center of the liquor district of Cherokee county and i concerned in most of the charges of law violations ?nd raids that failed of their object. The legislature wanted the school lo cated in the heart of the mining dis trict and therefore chose Weir City as the natural location for such a school. The board of regents will take no steps to establish the school until conditions are greatly improved in CheroKee county. C. W. Trickett. n ho is Governor Htubbs' special attorney to assist in law enforcement cases, will go to Cherokee county next Monday to tile a number of cases in Judge Papp's court. In view o." the fact that Judge. Sapp. while here in attendance at the Dawson inquisition, declared that no attorney for the governor could prose cute liquor cases in his court, it wiii be interesting to note the progress f events in Cherokee next week. If I Judge Sapp persists in his defiance of the governor's authority, then a man I damus suit will likely also be I'Hed against him in the supreme court, me decision in these ca: will establish once for all the relations between the governor and the attorney general and the governor and a district judge.

One Man Has a Fit and Camorra Trial Is Adjourned. Viterbo. Italy, July 21. The most violent scene of the Camorrist trial to date was provoked today by a personal dispute between Captain Fabroni and Lawyer Lioy. In the tumult all the other lawyers lied from the room, Knrico Alfano and Gennaro Abbate maggio. the informer, were thrown out bodily by the carabineers, Giovanni Bartolozzie fell in a fit and President Bianchi, helpless to maintain order, declared the session adjourned. Throughout the hubbub Fabroni stood pale but impassive. As the court room was being cleareet ne sam: "The Camorra, in or out of court, can't intimidate me. Fabroni, captain of the Neapolitan carabineers, was assigned by the mm istrv of iustice to UDroot the Camorra. During the last few days he had toid on the stand the results of his detec tive work and the operations of his associates. Alessandro Lioy, now at tornev for the defense, formerly edited a newspaper. Fabroni has testified that revelations against the Camorra made by Kditor Lioy were not in har mony with the claims set up by Law yer Lioy in defense of his clients. Bit ter personal reeling rjetween me ae tective and the lawyer has resulted. When court opened today Captain Fabroni was asked bv Cavaliere San- toro, the crown prosecutor, whether the assertion of Zanelli that Marshal Capizutti had tried to influence him to swear falsely against his fellow- prisoners were true. Fabroni replied: "Zanelli is the scum of criminality. Indeed, it was Lioy who, through Za nelli, attempted to buy witnesses tor the dPfense. This reflection on the lawyer raised the first storm. Lioy screamed like a madman. Abbatemaggio joined in the row in support of the captain. Enrico Alfano, the alleged head of the Camor ra, led 1 na chorus of invectives di rected against Fabroni and Abbate maggio. Finally the president ordered Abbate maggio and Alfano removed from the room. They were not disposed to go quickly and were seized by carabineers and dragged from the place. For a little time there was a ctilm and the president tcok advantage of the opportunity to admonish all to avoid personalities. With much feeling, Fabroni said" "For years I have stood the insults of this man Lioy without trying him before the courts because I considered him not a criminal but a person whose mental faculties were unbalanced." Lioy retorted in fury, concluding by calling the witness a hypocrite. "A greater hypocrite than yourself does not exist," replied Fabroni. The exchange had again stirred the prison ers and opposing counsel, and the din that followed fairly shook the court of the assizes. Lioy jumped about, gesticulating and hurling epithets at the crown's wit nesses. Meantime the prisoners in the great steel cage formed a sort of claque, hissing and cursing their accuser and applauding their lawyer. At last Go vanno. Bartolozzi and others pressed their heads between the bars of the cage like wild animals struggling to reach their tormentor. "Get your heads back In there." ir dered the carabineers with a threaten ing movement. ''No, cut off our heads. Yes, behead us," they cried. "Our women," screamed Francesco Desiderio, "have become defiled be cause of this pig." Tnen Bartolozzi tumbled over in an epileptic fit. The doctors entered the cage to attend him and were followed by a score of carabineers, each of whom seized a prisoner and held him until he was physically exhausted. His efforts to restore orders being futile. President Bianchi adjourned the sit-tins-- HAVETEACHERSTOSPARE Shawnee County Has 33 More Thau Needed. Shawnee county this year produced about 3 5 more teachers than jobs. For this reason a number of the county's promising school ma'ams will tame the boistrous youngsters in foreign coun tries. Last year the county developed 47 more teachers than were needed in the local schools. It was a fortunate occurrence, too. Many of the counties reported a shortage of good looking educators and they made a rush for the over production from this county. Conditions are different this year. Adverse crop conditions have brought forth a number of teacher: who in former years found pirsuits other than the school room the more prom ising. From the great wheat belt in western Kansas comes the message that this territory has more teachers than school buildings. For this rea-son Kansas may, for the first time in 10 years, have an over production of edu cators. John F. Eby, county superintendent, is corresponding with superintendents in outlying counties in an effort to lo cate the 25 extra Shawnee county teachers. Some of the number have been given schools, but the entire list has not yet been provided for. In ad dition to the development of too many teachers, is the fact that Shawnee county will next year use six or seven more teachers than a year ago. But the growth of the county's public school facilities will not provide room for all of the men and women who are armed with certificates to teach. Weather Indications. Chicago, July 21. Forecast for Kansas: Generally fair tonight and Saturday. SEES WHY. Democrat Candidate for Vice President in 1908 Gets Light on His Defeat Lorimer Inquiry. at CONTRIBUTORS' LIST To tlie Taft Campaign Fills 128 Pages Fund As Reported From N. Y. Secre tary of State's Office. Washington, July 21. The office of the secretary of state of New York was brought into the Lorimer investigation today when C. F. Wiehe, one of the central figures In the present hearing before the senate Lorimer committee, testified that $1,000 had been asked of him as the price for a copy of the list of contributors to the Taft campaign fund in 1908 on file in Albany. He testified that he had been in formed by telegraph from either the secretary of state or his office, that the list, consisting of 128 pages, had been destroyed, but later an offer to furnish it for $1,000 was made. Wiehe explained that he wanted to know if Cyrus H. McCormick had contributed to the fund, but said he did not con sider the information worth $1,000. Attorney J. H. Marble, for the com mittee, directed attention to the night when Wiehe asked W. W. Cook and William O'Brien, at Hines's request, to keep out of the way while the grand jury was in session in Chicago. "Did you know it was a violation of the law to advise persons to avoid subpoenas?" asked the attorney. "I didn't think about it at that time; I was just a messenger for Mr. Hines." Chairman Dillingham wanted to know whether as a matter of fact subpoenas for Cook and O'Brien had been issued. Attorneys for Hines stated thev had not been but Senator Kern led the witness to say that Hines said to him that night that he was ad vised subpoenas had been issued. "Did you say that night that Mr. Hines was talking too much about the Lorimer case?" asked Mr. Marble. "I might have. I knew Mr. Hines felt that by his message to Governor Dencen he believed he had been influ ential in the election of Lorimer and I thought, as has been shown, that if he kept repeating his part in the election he wouid get Lorimer's enemies down on him." After thinking of the matter over night, Wiehe declared that one of the reasons why he asked R. J. Shields, the affidavit collector, of Superior, Wis., to meet him in Chicago about 10 days ago was to discuss sending him to Albany, N. Y. '"Why did not you recall that yester day?" asked Mr. Marble. "I don't know." Wiehe explained that the Hines com pany desired to ascertain if Cyrus Mc Cormick contributed anything to the Taft campaign in 1908 and that he had been advised the list of contributors was on file with the secretary of sta'e at Albany. "I had wired the secretary of state and had got a reply that the list was destroyed, only being retained for 15 months," said the witness. "Since coming here I have received a wire from Albany saying the list would be furnished for $1,000."' Wiehe did not think the charge was solely for copying the 128 pages of con tributors. "Do you mean to say there are 12S pages of contributions to the Taft campaign fund?" asked Senator Kern, late vice president candidate on the ticket opposed to Mr. Taft. "Yes, sir." replied the witness. "I see how it happened then," re sponded the defeated candidate. Wiehe was asked why he had cal'ei in Shields about the Albany matter. He said Shields claimed to know someone at Albnny that might help him get the list. "Haven't you men in your office who could get the list without calling a man all the way from Superior?" Wiehe was asked. "Yes, but I talked over other mat ters to Shields." he replied. Wiehe said he thought Shields would come to Washington to testify if requested to da so. Chairman Dillingham interrupted to say several inquiries had been made recently as to whether Shields was in hiding. "I think he should be a witness." declared Senator Kenyon. "So do I and we will be obliged for information as to where Shields may be reached." said Mr. Dillingham. No one, however, was able to give the in formation. RAILS AT NEWSPAPERS. LaPoUette Attacks Press for Support of Canadian Reciprocity. Washington, July 21. Assailing the press of the United States for its sup port of the Canadian reciprocity bill. Senator LaFollette (Wis.) made his closing speech against the bill In the Senate today. He expressed the be lief that newspapers would suffer loss of influence for the support they have given to legislation in which he said "they have a direct money interest." "The press has failed in its duty to the public In regard to this legislation," he said. Mr. LaFollette referred to testimony given before the finance committee of the senate that a newspaper organiza tion had sent out a communication to many papers urging them to favorably treat the reciprocity agreement. He deplored this attitude of the news papers. "We have senators on this floor who are bankers," said Senator LaFollette, "senators who are wool iianufaeturers and cotton manufactui ers, senators who are interested in lumber and mines. Let no newspaper hereafter assail any senator because he supports legislation in his own peculiar inter est." Senator LaFollette referred to Sena tor Hitchcock (Neb.) who had inter rupted him, as a "newspaper owner," who had a direct interest at stake. "Is it not just as fair for me to criti cize the senator from Wisconsin," re torted Hitchcock, "for advocating a duty on paper in the interest of the great paper mills of Wisconsin to which the whole country pays tribute," Senator LaFollette said that he did not favor a duty on paper; that he w-as in favor of free print paper and would propose a measure in that Interest as a direct tariff measure. Ke objected to the reciprocity bill, he said because the newspapers would get free paper at the expense of the farmcs whose duties on their products would be re moved. Mr. LaFollette defended progressive Republicans from the charge that they have changed front on the tariff and are now opposing a. partial tariff revis ion as embodied in the reciprocitv bill He said the progressives stood just wher- they did in the tariff fight of 1909 but that the reciprocity bill was not a true Republican measure. "I oppose this bill because it belies its title," said Senator LaFollette. "It is not reciprocity." Senator LaFcllett -teclared the Dem ocratic party had Jjjoiated its own principles by aligning witto the Repub lican high tariff forces. "The Democrats will have to answer for their Inconsistencies," said Mr. La Follette. HE PROMISES TAFT. Penrose Says Reciprocity Bill Will lie Ready to Sign Tomorrow. Washington, July 21. Chairman Pen rose, of the senate finance committee, today promised President Taft to lay the Canadian reciprocity bill, with the approval of both the senate and house, on the president's table by z o'clock tomorrow afternoon, more than three hours before the president plans to leave Washington for a week-end stay at Beverly. Senator Penrose said that it might get through tomorrow morning and then would be brought immediate ly to the White House. Car Line Tied Up. Pittsburg, Pa., July 21.

Files Many Affidavits to Pro? lie's Good Officer. MUCH ABUSED MAN. Witnesses Assert He Is Great Enforcer of Prohibitory Law. Attorney General Discredits Many of the Statements. According to the testimony of some hundred or more affidavits introduced in the supreme court today, Ralph Martin, sheriff of Cherokee county, is a much abused man. These sworn testimonials set forth the fact that Martin was about the best sheriff in the world. That he was active as quicksilver in the enforcement of the prohibitory law. That he was the prop of the district judge of Cherokee county and the sustaining influence and comfort of the county attorney in the latter's war on the jointists. If half the recommendations in these sworn statements regarding the cha.r actur of Mr. Martin are true, then Martin is a martyr. The only weak link in the chain of all these testi monials is that many of them come from ex-jointists and liquor sellers un der indictment for violation of the pro hibitory law themselves. Attorney Tracewell, representing Martin in the ouster suit instigated against him by the attorney general aided and abetted by the governor of the state, spent most of the morning reading thse affidavits to the court. Mr. Tracewell took the trouble to in form the court that he himself was a rabid prohibitionist and that his affi davits came from zealous partisans of the white ribbon cause. But Attorney General Dawson gave it as his opinion and belief, supported by irrefutable evidence, that many of these affidavits came from men upon whom the law had placed its paw for selling booze contrary to statute. Says He Was Misrepresented. One of these affidavits, signed and sworn to by one F. M. Lash, was sen sational in the extreme. This man Lash took exceptions to the transcript of the evidence ascribed to him in the Dawson court of inquiry. He swore that he was misquoted in his inquisition evidence. That his testimony had been garbled by the stenographer, and th-. t words were placed in his mouth that he did not say. He went on further to affirm that at least half of his testi mony had been suppressed by the ma chinations of the attorney general's offlcs. Mr." Lash closed his affidavit with the words, "I am not satified with the transcript of the evidence from the attorney general's inquisition." In us ing the words, "not satisfied," Mr. Lash expressed it mildly when cne con siders the entire text of his affidavit. Mr. Lash, according to his affidavit, is a much aggrieved personage. Attorney Tracewell had an affidavit, among others, signed by County Attor ney Major of Cherokee county in which that official set forth the fact that he had known Sheriff Martin for ten years and that he was little bit the best "sher iff since Marshal Ney fought for Na poleon Bonaparte. ccording to the county attorney. Sheriff Martin had furnished him with most of the evi dence upon which he had based nis prosecutior s for violations of the pro hibitory law lately. That Martin's ac tivity and zeal for the cause of tem perance had enabled the said county attorney to issue search and seizure warrants galore. That since the first of the year the said county attorney had been enabled, through Martin's ef forts, to bring more prosecutions than even before in the history of the coun ty in the same length of time. That when Martin was given a warrant "he always got results." Given a Good Character. J. E. Dunbar, a former county at torney, and assistant attorney general for Cherokee county, affirmed that Martin had an excellent reputation as a citizen and officer, and that Martin had urged him, Dunbar, to accept the assistant attorney general's commis WILL BE LOTS OF FUN FOR sion in order that they might co-operate in their efforts to suppress the jointists of that county. Then came a legion of affidavits from different personages, all bearing witness to the unimpeachable char acter of Sheriff Martin and his activ ity as a law enforcement official. Some of these affidavits attacked the motives of Vernie Adams, former deputy sheriff of Cherokee county, and alleged that Adams, in his charges against Martin, was actuated by jeal ousy and a desire to get aMrtin's job. In fact, there were a dozen affidavits by Judge Sapp. by jointists, ex-jointists, prohibitionists and others, bear ing witness to Sheriff Martin's good works. Some of these attacked "Vernie Adams' Integrity and motives. Now it was upon Adams' affidavits that part of the foundation for the charges against Sheriff Martin rested. At torney General Dawson stated today that one reason he did not Instigate the suit aginst Sheriff Martin sooner was because he wanted to collect ad ditional evidence, as he was convinced that Martin's attorneys would try to impeach Adams' testimony. Dawson had the right "hunch." They did. Af fidavits by the dozen were introduced today that attacked Adams from ev ery angle. Dawson Is convinced that Adams is a good man and true and that his al legations against Martin are well founded. Counter Affidavitd Filed. Attorney General Dawson Impeached many of the Martin affidavits at the morning session of the court and had -lot of ammunition saved up for the afternoon sebsicn. Dawson also had an affidavit from the Fame county at torney to the effect that Sheriff Martin had made no complaints to him about the people who had stolen beer seized in raids, cr who had sold beer obtained the same way. The charges against Martin are many, and they aver that he was dere lict in his duty as an officer, especially in regard to the enforcement of the prohibitory law. It has been alleged on every hand that but little of the wet goods and none of the bar fixtures seized in joint raids in Cherokee were ever destroyed. But that they were sold or given away over the county. The sheriff is held responsible for this state of affairs. The trial of the case against Sheriff Martin was continued by the court into the afternoon session. Attorney Gen eral Dawson. Senator Brewster, his as sistant, and C. W. Trickett, special counsel for the governor, are conduct ing the state's case against the sheriff. THE WEATHER RECORD.

Dallis ia Atlanta in 1910. He was then a newspaper reporter and special writer. Since that time he and Mr. Edwin F. Johnson, another newspaper reporter and special writer, have formed an advertis ing agency in Atlanta. When the cotton people were in New York recently and had as their guest President Taft, I met Mr. Dallis and he recalled to my mind a talk we had while I was in Atlanta, which he said turned his thoughts toward the adver tising business. The germ was planted in his system and it commenced to work. He infected Mr. Johnson with the germ, too, and it worked on him. These two men, through their newspaper experience, are HUMAN INTEREST copy writ ers. They have the nose for REAL ADVERTISING NEWS. I have often stated in thi3 column that a good reporter gen erally makes a good advertising writer that a reportorial ex perience is a wonderful asset to an advertising writer.

Things began breaking bad for the lo cal squad in the first moments of the game. Curtis rlammed one over the infield and started to steal second. Crisp's peg was low and ducked through to the outfield while Curtis came on liome. Kicker opened for the Kaws wHh a hit but the rest were easy outs.

Crisp missed his tag but had the ball too late tor a fat chance. The Kaws made little headway into Buss Hcrsche. the milk chocolate frog, until the ninth when they staged a lit tle hitting rally and brought in Blitzen Benz for the final out. The home stay ers had one measely Tun in the fifth by virtue of Rickert's walk. He stoli second to get within hailing distance, 'moved up on the death of King, and counted when Beecher singled through the short lield. Emory opened the rallying ninth by bingling. Dale. Abb's outfielder, hit for lidmiston and clouted far but fell into the traps of Mattick. Chapman cam; up to the post for Donovan and sin gled through third. Emory couldn't pass second. Then Rickert singled through the infield but Emory couldn't score and the bases were filled by three hits. King hit into what looked like a double and the finish but beat tho ball to first, forcing Rickert at second hut scoring Emory. Korea erred for Beecher and let another In. Then Gard ner drew a walk, refilling the bases. Two were gone and Dvvyr concluded he had better get Mersohe out. He sent the spit-boy. Berry, in to face big Mert Whitney who hit a home run on the first day at home. Whit didn't whiff by a whole lot but his belt went only as far as Graham, thence to Dwyer. The game was completed so Bifld Dwyer carefully folded it up and tucked it in his satchel along with the one of Tuesday. TOPEKA. Players AB. R. II. P. A. E. Rickert.

He per spired .i lot In the accomplishment be cause of his rotundity and allowed nine hits. Bern had to get the last out for him, however, as he was rapidly drop ping his ballast. Red Donovan, the Bill Zink annexa tion from the defunct Kansas State, displayed a pretty fair line of samples. Like the rest of the lesser club pitch ers, he seemed to have somewhere im bided the idea that there Is a whole lot in the windup businef. and got so far into it he impairec his control. The batsmen could connect for only three hits, but there wero two reasons for It. One was that he had the de ception and th other that he didn't get them near enough. It would have taken three catchers abreast and two of them with landing nets to catch all Donovar. threw and too much criticism was accorded Crisp for not getting them all by him self. Crisp had a pair of bad pegs to second, true enough, and also a passed ball, but some regular Eecondbasemen would have dug up those pegs for him and saved the extra bases. But he should have saved his temper and not fussed with the grandstand. Manager Richert's justification for his sending In of Donovan to start the game lies in his statement that he wanted to save his regular steady few for the Omahogs. He had not count ed on the possibilities of five runs with one hit and believed he could get the game cheaply. The way it turned out was that he saved his pitchers, but lost his game.

Lincoln turned on the Drummers and by winning regained their position in second place. It beghiB to be ap parent that there are ix weak dis abled clubs In the circuit, all off color, while Denver and the Antelopes keep right on going. Denver Fems to have tho 1911 rag hands down, but they seemed to have It the same way about the same time last season and they were not the ones to get it. Outfielder Dale from Lyons took healthy swat upon the ball when called in for Edmiston. It was of the blngle variety, but fell Into MPHtck's hands. Dale is a. big, husky lad and If his conduct at the place m his one ap pearance Is an indication of his abil ity, he looks good. Umpires Morgan and Knapp, who have performed here In fair fashion were shifted last night and two new ohes will be seen here today. They are MeKee and Weaver, both or whom have been having trouble In the north east. Butch Kerns has drawn another re lease. Holland let him go over at Lincoln, eiving his place to Critton don, a catcher from the Lamed club whom Buchanan liked on his scouting trip. Says the St. Joseph Gazette: "The news of the release of Butch Kerns comes as a surprise. The for mer Topeka catcher hadn't been hit ting the ball very hard but he seemed to be getting along all right. He had become popular with the fans, and his departure will be regretted. Owner Holland probably figured that Critten den, the youngster he got out of the defunct Kansas league, would be of more value to the team. Des Moines Tribune: Following the scramble of last week in which he was deluged with offers for the Des Moines club, Owner Higgins is waiting for oth er offers for the Des Moines franchise. The team is safely away on the west ern trip at the present time and he will not have to worry about a place for them until the last of the month. In terest In the club and sale is waning in Des Moines with each day the transfer is deplayed and a week or two more will allow Des Moines men to forget all about baseball. The Mulvane team, leaders in the Southern Kansas Saturday league, and the Kl Dorado team, late of the Kan sas State league, have been playing a series of three games at Mulvane this week. The Mulvane team ran away with the first Monday by a score of 15 to 2 and lost the second Tuesday, 4 to 1. The third, which was to have been played j-esterday, was postponed by rain. Pueblo Chieftain: The work of Um pire Clark yesterday bore out the pr3 diction that the fans here would miss Haskell before he was well out of the city's gates. Haskell very seldom made a rank decision although at times It did seem as if Pueblo got the worst of some of the close ones. Clark made some bad" ones yesterday, both teams suffering alike although his de cisions against Pueblo proved to be the most costly. Clark came near costing the game in the ninth when he vailed Shaw's two-bagger a foul, although the ball scattered lime on the right field line. Clark was also off on balls and strikes all during the game. It I Is generally known that Clark's home J I is in Omaha and for this reason hla V;aAiii4t'.ikJL.

Co miskey bought "Tex" last Tear, too, but returned him after ft trial, and now has decided to give him Another trial. Lincoln Star: The Hollanders have certainly played bangiip ball this series. The Lope pitchers have sand papered their personal belt averages to a fare-j-e-well but they get the scores over. Fancy base-stealing, with Rabbit Powell as the chief executive, hitting when it is needed,, wonderful defensive fielding, especially on the part of the outfield and pitching from Freeman and Chelette cf the first water if the Drummers will play that way against Denver and Pueblo, we will forgive them tho humiliation experienced here. i i Paul Cobb's timely bingling is get ting to be so common a to be hardly commented on by the fsns. Manager Unglaub Is authority frr the state ment that the Georgia kid has hit six teen times In sixteen games and that moist of the hits have resulted in runs. Many of them were made on hit and run plays when th other side were playing Up for a bunt and the batter slashed one through the hole. Lincoln News: Chub McKee prob ably misses more than a fair share of the balls and strikes, but the new umps is trying hard and has all the nerve that the job requires. A week or so ago he fired Dawson, the Sioux City giant, from the St. Joe park. Hippo Towne offered to pay Dawson's fine If the latter would take a wallop at the chubby umps and McKee pulled his mask and declared his willingness to giva either of the pair anything they wanted a fine or a fight. The ball game proceeded with Dawson on the outside of the yard and Towne banished to the doghouse, along with notice that another yelp would send him scurrying after Dawson. We can stand for McKee's occasional misses in view of that brand of courage. Borne day he should make an umpire really worth while. ADVERTISING TALKS. (Continued fiptn I'agfe One.) I asked Mr. Dallis a number of questions about the South and Southwest, because We are all impressed with the PRO GRESS that section of the country has made in the past few years. Of course, Mr. Dallis is enthu siasic about this section be lieves in its future and real izes, as most of us do, that the prosperity of the whole country has been dependent somewhat, in the last decade, upon the pro gress made by the people in the South and Southwest. There is a splendid opportu nity for the development of ALL LINES of business- gen eral and local throughout this territory. These two young men have redeveloped resurrected as a matter of fact the advertising of the SOUTHERN COTTON OIL COMPANY, which for a time had ceased advertising be cause it had not obtained satis factory results. They have been doing some unusual advertising of the pro ducts of this company, namely: "Wesson Snow Drift Oil" and "Snow Drift Hogless Lard," and I am informed, not by Mr. Dallis, but bv newananer mpn in tho South, that the Southern Cot ton Oil Company tieonle tirp re lighted with the results of their advertising. Thev have, in arldifi these products that they are ad vertising, at least five more pro ducts that are advertisable and we hope these young men will develop them I might add, too, that the newspaper instinct in a man prompts him to look in unusual fields for advertising.

The Confederates under Johnson were ac credited with a decisive victory over the Union forces under McDowell, the retreat of the Federals leaving prac tically a clear road to Washington for the Confederates, it is said, had they chosen to continue their advance on the capital. This was the first real battle of the war. and its result awak ened the North for the first time to a realization of what the secession of the Southern States meant. It was here that "Stonewall" Jackso-i gained the name which will be associated with his memory for all time. In August. 1862, Manassas waa again the scene of a bloody b'Ule, Lee and Other Store.

Dr. Caleb Cook Baldwin, who' passed half a century as a missionary at Foochow, China, and for whom the Baldwin Library was erected in that city, is dead at the residence of his son here, from Infirmities incident to his advanced age.

MARRIAGE A FAILURE. Philadelpliian Kills Himself in Atlan tic City Hotel. Philadelphia, July 21. A man iden tified by the police as James T. Dunn, head of a novelty concern bearing his name, with offices in this city, com mitted s-uicide last night in an Atlan tic City hotel. He shot himself. "While no definite cause for his sui cide is known, it is believed that matri monial difficulties were responsible. He had, been separated from his wife, Mrs. Sarah M. Dunn, of New York, since October. 1909. A suit for the alienation of her husband's affections against Mrs. Elizabeth H. Holmes, a wealthy New York woman, is now pending in the New York supreme court. Dunn first came into the limelight in July, 1908. when his wifj made an attack on Mrs. Holmes on the board walk at Atlantic City after she had fol lowed the woman and Dvnn across the continent from San Francisco. Dunn was then acting as secretary to Mrs. Holmes. PHILANTHROPIST IN RETREAT. Chjeagoan Sin-prised at "Ingratitude" of Sufferers from Fire. Ipswich. Mass.. July 21. Harlow N.

The investigation into the affairs of the American Smelt ing Refining company to determine whether the so-called "smelter trust" is in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, has been dropped. United States District Attorney Wise said today that he had investigated the complaints against the "smelter trust" and found them without foundation. It was learned that the federal prose cutor received from Attorney General W'ickersham instructions to make an investigation of the business of the American Smelting Refining com pany and several officers of the com pany and books and documents pertain ing to its business were before the dis trict attorney- It is understood that the matter came before the grand jury, which, af ter an Investigation, practically dis missed the complaint. District Attorney Wise said today: "Sometime ago a complaint came to me in an anonymous letter that the American Smelting Refining com pany was violating the Sherman anti trust law. After investigating the evi dence presented I concluded that the complaint was without foundation and suspended the investigation." An officer of the American Smelting company said it was at the instance of the company that the investigation was made to ascertain whether the company was violating either the Sher man anti-trust law or the interstate commerce law.

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 news Is received In The State Jour nal building" over wires for this sole pur pose. HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscribers of the State Journal away from home 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 mall only). Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to von like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is requested on these short time subscriptions, to save bookkeeplnz expenses. There Is great Joy in all the Ameri can league camps with the exception of Detroit. Ty Cobb is out of the game temporarily. If Kansas corn la saved many more times, remarks the Atchison Globe, It may still be necessary to rent Okla homa to find a place to pile the crop. Now that the revolution In Mexico Js a thir.gr of the past and has been for forne weeks, it is necessary to declare martial law in some localities there in order to preserve the peace. Mohammed All Mlrza, erstwhile hah of Persia, has returned from exile to his native land ani is fitting up an expedition to regain his throne. But this is far from "coming: back" In the colloquial meaning of that phrase. The first annual Play Day that has been arranged for July 29 to stimulate the interest of Topeka children in the playground movement is t. good thing. But why wouldn't It be a better plan to hold it in succeeding years on the afternoon of July 4? Mrs. Nora Stanton Blatch De For est, who la being sued for divorce by her husband. Dr. Lee De Forest, a wireless telegraph Inventor, is also a fully qualified hydraulic engineer an expert, no doubt, in the manipulation of the hammer. A sample of the grit that has made Kansas what it Is: Jim Fike did not 3o very well with the 13.000 acres he planted to wheat last foil in Thomas county. But Jim is already busy get ting his land in shape to plant 10,000 e-cres to wheat this fall. Hurrah for Jim: Chicago's new board of education (will be like unto a congress of all na tions. Mayor Harrison has appoint ed to it representatives of the many races that go to make up cosmopoli tan Chicago. The mixture of races In a big city is little short of marvel ous. At one o the public schools In Mew York city there are children of thirty-odd nationalities in attendance. General Bixby semes to have been a ilttla previous in expressing such an emphatic opinion that the old battle ship Maine was blown up through an Internal explosion. As more of the twreek is exposed to view there ap pears to be a lot of evidence that the Maine suffered from an external ex plosion. But this only makes it more certain that a fierce and unending controversy will be waged on this oint. In their enthusiastic efforts to build destructive engines of war, the "United States ordnance officers have finally turned out a gun whieh will fire a projectile of immense propor tions 14 or 15 miles, or several miles beyond the horizon. In other word it will shoot these several miles farther than the gunners can see. Hence It is just a little too good, for in target jiractice or even in a possible battle It might fire a shot that would de stroy a shin that could not be seen. Woodrow Wilson is cocksure that the Democrats will bo victorious in the presidential campaign of 1912. Nor does he see any necessity for a third big political party. Sure not. Such a party would be apt to draw quite as many or more voters from the Democratic party as from the Re publican party. Neither are such sen timents at all strange to come from Mr. Wilson. He and his friends think ho has a mortgage on the Democratic presidential nomination. French newspapers seem to be about as yellow as are many In this country in metropolitan centers. They have taken full charge of the little tilt between France and Spain over the arrest of a French consular agent by a Spanish patrol. The agent was re leased Immediately as soon as the Spanish authorities found out they had made a mistake and long before the sews of the arrest reached France. Nevertheless, the Frenon newspapers have delivered an ultimatum to Spain in the premises. Nothing but an ab ject and humble apology from Spain will wipe out the stain on French honor. It ia either that or fight, and France should make the necessary ar rangements to let the newspaper edi tors do all the fighting that they deem necessary. OFFENDING MOTORCYCLISTS. Everybody in Topeka, with the pos sible exception of the motorcyclists, will support Commissioner Miller In his insistence that mufflers be used "n the motors of the "pop-pop" wheels while they are being operated in the city limits. In the ordinance regulat ing the activity of the motorcyclists is a provision that prohibits unmuffled motors. A fine of from $1 to $10 is provided for violations of this rule. It is not recalled that any motorcyclist has ever been brought to time for not heeding this feature of the laws of the city. And only the few people in town who are so unfortunate as to be abso lutely deaf do not know that this pro vision is utterly disregarded by nearly all the motorcyclists. Nor would it be surprising if deaf persons could hear the tremendous noises that are made by this gentry with their machines. These noises are not so disturbing in the daytime, when the ordinary traffic on the much-traveled streets rather drowns them out. But even during the day in the more quiet residential sections of the city the sudden and noisy approach of a motorcycle is apt to give nervous folk a case of severe shivers, and be particularly disturbing to people who are sick-a-bed. During the late hours of the evening and the early hours of the morning, however, the noisy traveling of the motor cyclists, is especially annoying to al most everybody in all of the residential districts of the city. It's a nuisance that should be abated. There is al ready ample provision of law for hs abatement. And this law should be enforced. Also should the speed ordi nance, which seems to be generally violated by the motorcyclists be en forced against them. There Is another matter in connec tion with the operation of motor cycles which seems to be dangerous and which should therefore be stopped. That is the popular practice of the motorcyclists in taking their sisters, cousins and aunts and others of the fair sex out riding with them. At best the makeshift seat that the girls oc cupy on the frame In front of the rider's regular seat is insecure. Thair dresses flap around fast moving ma chinery that is more or less exposed. That a serious accident has not al ready resulted in Topeka from this practice is little short of the miracu lous. In several cities scattered over the country where accidents of this sort have occurred, the practice has been prohibited. Perhaps it would te Just as well for Topeka not to wait to lock the barn door in this particular until a horse has been stolen. A UNIFORM BUILDING CODE. The average municipal building code throughout the country Is obsolete, and even so is unequally and imper fectly enforced, writes Powell Evans In The Survey. A few years ago I col lected copies of the building- codes of most of our cities. They constitute a mass of disordered, undigested, and conflicting rules. In the matter of fire danger there is little difference, except in magnitude and congestion. among most of our cities, and for cities of a given size a uniform build ing law should be adopted and en forced. Questions of altitude, latitude, longi tude, local policies or conditions of any sort do not enter in, save only as to style, character and density of build ings. The United States government could and should Investigate authori tatively a proper building code for adoption by municipalities all over the country, elastic enough to be applic able to every sized city and town. There is neither present machinery, appropriation, nor constitutional au thority for the federal government to impose such a code on the country; but it could study, and formulate, and impose a code on the citv o' Washing ton, which would be its authoritative conclusion on this subject broadly enough considered for national use. All persons and interests favoring a reduction of the fire waste in the coun try should exert their influence upon the national government to this prac tical end. The several state govern ments could then be influenced to adopt this national municiral building code, and as far as possible influence its adoption in turn by the municipal ities within their borders a perfectly legal, practical and reasonable method of bringing Into being a uniform mu nicipal code all over the country. IMPROVING THE ROADS. Signal work has been done by the county commissioners during the past year in the matter of road improvement in Shawnee county. Something over $67,000 has been expended by them, or contracted for expenditure, on bridges and highways. Of this sum nearly $31, 000 has been used In the rebuilding of bridges, and the remaining $36,000 has been spent on the roads. Thus is by far the largest sum that Shawnee county has devoted In any one year for the development of good roads. It shows that the present board of county com misstoners is alive to the best interest of the county. County funds can not be put to better use than in the build lng of good roads. They bring the cit ies and towns and the rural districts closer together. They make farming more profitable. They are of equal ad vantage to the business interests of the cities and towns with which the farm ers deal. Considerable of the road improvement work that had been done in Shawnee county of late is of an experimental na ture for this part of the country, such as the oiling of roads. But this sys tem has worked out well in other sec tions. The road formation In Shawnee county is right for this treatment of the roads. So there is no good reason to believe that these roads will not turn out to be satisfactory in all par. tlculars, although the continued dry spell was not the best possible kind of weather for construction of this sort of road. The big atart that has been made this year by the county commissioners in the matter of road improvement should be continued until all of the es sential roads In the county are put in the best possible shape. There is much activity these days all over Kansas In the rebuilding of the roads, making them good roads in fact, Down in Johnson county, for Instance, there are five rock roads under con struction. The contract for the fifth road of this type was just let. the other day by the Johnson county commis sioners. It calls for the building of two miles of rock road which will cost $15. 34S. So it will be seen that Johnson county is going into good road building on an extensive and permanent scale. Then out in Decatur county a long piece of road connecting Oberlin with Selden in Sheridan county has just been built. This road was constructed through the efforts of the farmers along it. They subscribed the money necessary and had the road built by contract. It is said to be one of the finest roads in western Kansas. Many more Instances could be cited of road building activities all over the state. All of them are indicative of the fact that the people of Kansas are finally awake to the advantages of bet ter roads and that they intend to have them. Let the good work go on. JOURNAL ENTRIES When a man finally gets his bluff called he looks awfully sheepish. Even the housewives fail to kick now when it rains on washdays. Many people seem to be unable to get into step with any procession they Join. Any number of folk will make fools of themselves for a little applause or notoriety. A man hasn't much use for anybody who fails to laugh at the "funny" stor ies he tells. J AY HAWKER JOTS As for the hoodoo, explains Mrs. Tom Thompson, it is only those who dare who do. Of the effects of a recent rain, the St. Mary's Eagle-Journal says, "the corn is greatly beautified." PeoDle who live in glass houses should always dress in the dark, ad vises the Nickerson Argosy. From the Randolph Enterprise: The hen that lays where she happens to be, when she takes the notion to lay, is certainly setting a bad eggs-ample. Miss Anna Carlson's idea of a good neighbor is one who does not let his children run at large and who keeps the dandelions on his lawn from going to seed. Notwithstanding that there are only nine doctors working on him, says the Liberal News with surprise, it is re lated that King Alfonso is getting along pretty welL Editor Bookwalter, of the Halstead Independent, can see the silver lining in the darkest cloud. "But just think." he says, "what a night's sleep you'll have when it does get cool." None of the editors of the Kansas weeklies whoee publication day is Thursday were sufficiently supersti tious last week not to issue on that day because it happened to be July 13. The last page of some of this issue is printed bottom side up, e.-?ys No. 3, Vol. 1 of the Iuka Index, caused by a fool error on the part of the pressman. By standing on your head it can be easily read. An Emporia man claims to have killed fifteen snnkaa in 30 minutes on the Fourth, notes the Iuka Index, and it adds: And th's from the town where Walt Mason writes such scorch ing articles on the Demon Rum. The Joke seems to be on the seven teen year locusts, says the Colby Free Press. To go for seventeen years without anything to eat' and then ar rive on a year like this Is, to say the least, a little disconcerting to the lo custs. It is worthy of notice, says the Neo sho Falls Post, that a young man plays ball all the afternoon this torrid weather and doesn't mind it in the least. But take him out in the field to do a day's work and he will at once discover that he cannot stand the heat. One Cottonwood Falls woman has a rotato patch which is the envy of every lover of the spud. She keeps a bucketful of the precious things setting on her back porch ready for use and it is easy to pick out potatoes as large as oranges among them. She should by all means keep the pail of potatoes set ting on the front porch and should fill all of her flower pots and vases with them. Chase County Leader. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Everyone has to imitate others a good deal. Every man who amounts to much ia hated by somebody. If you have to stand the cursing you ought to have your way. Ability to keep a promise isn't al ways sufficient excuse for making one. Then there are people who seem to possess a sense of humor and no other kind. Anyone who thinks the surplus kit tens should be drowned, shouldn't keep a cat. Mail, like everything else but the ice wagon, seems to amount to less in hot weather. Post card philosophy: "It's Just as hard to get along without a woman as it is with one." Wrhen there is a skeleton in the closet it is extremely difficult to keep the closet door shut. Title of a new song: "She Wrote on His Shirt, I Love You, But It All Came Out in the Wash." Tobacco may be all right In Its way. but the juice of it isn't a satisfactory substitute for a shirt stud. A coarse woman can make a beach comber seem like a refined and deli cate creature by comparison. An Atchison man, more persistent than the poet, insists on having about Jb5 melancholy days per year. Handsome women are not as numer ous down south as southern Chivalry might lead one to believe. In certain parts of Africa men eat tneir wives, which seems to be carry lng honeymoon affection a little too far. One can't control children by threats, but that doesn't signify one should whip them whenever he feeis like It, KANSAS COMMENT MAKING ONE'S WORD GOOD. A lady from the flats came in town a short time ago and asked the pro prietor of our meat market if she could procure ice on a certain day to make ice cream for a surprise party, to be held ten miles in the country. She was answered in the affirmative. On the day set, not being able to come herself, she got a neighbor to call for the ice. The proprietor was not in, and the clerk, not knowing the cir cumstances, refueed to open the ice house Until 6 n m th usual tiin for getting out the regular twenty four hours supply. The man could not wait and returned home without any ice. Toward evening, on the re turn of the proprietor, the clerk re lated the ice incident. Instead of roasting the clerk as many a man would, he said: "You done all right. I was to blame for not advising you about this ice. You go get a livery team; get this ice out and deliver it. My word is out that they should have this ice, and by the great horn spoon they are not going to be disappointed." It cost John Sherfy several times the price of the ice to deliver it, but he had the satisfaction of making his word good. When satisfaction of this kind is placed against dollars, how little the dollars seem, don't they? And how it strengthens our con fidence in human nature, and in these times of commercial strife, helps us to believe In the brotherhood of hu manity; makes us feel that the world ia growing better, and that as we are a part and parcel of the present gen eration, should strive to strengthen the good that is in us. Lakln Advo cate. TOGO THE SILENT. This week sees the visit to our coun try of one of the greatest naval war riors of this or any other time Togo of Japan. He will not stay long and he will not talk much. Like his Eng lish prototype. Nelson, like Von Moltke. like Grant, he is the silent man who makes his deeds do duty for his tongue. He unites in his nature the spirits of old and new Japan. Taciturn to a degree, his impassive face showing absolutely no emotion, he conceals beneath his stem exterior the courage of a lion. During the whole of the campaign which ended with the total destruction of Rojestvensky s fleet. Togo was ser iously ill. When he was commanded to sea his wife feared so for him that she entreated him to ask the govern ment to wait. The old Japan rose within him and he struck her twice across the face. 'Woman," he said, "you speak fool ishness." In spite of his condition, which great ly alarmed his assistants, he personal ly directed the fight in the Japan sea. standing upon the bridge of his flagship until his officers' dragged him by force to the safety of the conning tower and they locked him in. It was the same courage which Nogi displayed at Port Arthur, when not even the death of his son served to distract his terrible assiduity from the task he had in hand. He studied naval science in England. but his courage he derives from his an cestors of the Satsuma clan which for centuries furnished Japan with its best sea lighters. Newton Kansan-Republi-can. FROM OTHER PENS WAGES FOR STATESMEN. Another radical proposition long discussed and now indorsed by Pre mier Asqmth is that members or par liament be paid a yearly salary. Asquith suggests 400 pounds sterling ($2,000). Hitherto the commons have received no pay, and it has been almost impossible for men not pos sessing considerable wealth to secure elections. In fact, men in straitened circumstances have not even sought election, for they would be unable to serve if elected. The Conservatives in parliament have consistently op posed any suggestion to pay salaries to themselves and their fellow mem bers. Great Britain is one of the very few countries' that maintains an un salaried legislative body. America's $7,500 a year stands at the opposite extreme. Even the self-governing British colonies decline to follow the British example, and provide pay for their legislators, though in some cases it is rather paltry in amount. The salary of the German legislator is $750 a year, and the member is dock ed $7.50 a day for absence. Mr. Asquith is right In his sugges tion of legislative salar'es. Without some such provision the house of com mons cannot be truly representative of the people.

Public drinking cups have now been abolished by law in New Jersey and Illinois as they had been three years before in Kansas and more recently in Massachusetts. In a dozen states a common drinking cup is now forbid den in factories, stores, schools, ho tels, public buildings and on railroad trains. In Kansas the roller towel also has been condemned as a source of infection and its further use prohib ited. These are current examples of the anti-germ legislation which now fills a considerable space in the statute books. The establishment of hygienic safeguards against infection ranges from the regulation of barber shops and provision in sanitary codes against the exposure of food to contamination by flies or dust to laws prescribing the length of sheets in sleeping car berths and hotel beds. No recent phase of American law making is more noteworthy than the enactment into law of germ theories which a few decades ago were to be found only in the pages of scientific journals. To the scientist's study of the bacilli of disease and of the germ carrying capacity of the fiy and mos quito is due a mass of paternal leg islation imposing a benevolent compul sion on the public to adopt health pre cautions under penalty which it Is to its interest to adopt voluntarily.

"A Bong of Kansas" printed here, Composed on Thirteenth of July, Made retrospection seem so drear. That we now venture a reply. The "dried up" rhyme was scarce in type Before 'twas heralded to the sky And Nature saw "the time waa ripe" To atop the poet's mournful cry. So twinkling down the window pane, And on the roof a pitapat, We list to music of the rain And grateful, too, of course for that. The corn that waited for the rain And did not fully tassel out. Will Kansas' prestige still retain. And make a crop, without a doubt. The moisture's "rooting" for the grass. And creeks are slowly filling up With aqua vitae for the asa And horses, sheep and cows to sup. We're looking for some "trouble" here Next fall, as sure as you are born Lest lack of help may interfere With timely gathering of the corn. H. B. NICHOL. Frankfort, Kan., July 19, 1911. THE EVEXflNG STORY Parker Brothers, Bachelors. (By Susanne Glenn. John Parker pushed back his chair from the table and looked about the room critically. "Come to think of it." he observed slowly, "things don't look aa they did when mother was here." "Look pretty well considering how busy wo are outside all day," answered his younger brother William. "That's Just the point. Will' We're used to it, and so we don't notice what a rut we're getting into. What we need is a woman in the house I've felt it for a long time. And it appears to me that, seeing you are the younger and the handsomer of us it's your duty to get married. Ever thiiut about it?" "Never," answered William "Well, I mean what I say. I'll give you six months to find a wife, and if you do not, I'm blamed if I don't get married myself." "Go ahead," said William "There are plenty of nice girls to choose from," continued Jason. "There is Mary Bushnell, neat, pretty, and smart as a steel trap. I guess things would shine with her here!" "When I do get married," William interrupted curtly, "I shall chcose my own girl!" "Oh, to be sure; I ju&t mentioned her as an example! You'd better think over what I say." To his annoyance. William found that he did think! But n. t of the cap able Mary Bushnell. "I can see what would happen to us if Mary was to come here," he said to himself as he hoed coi-n In the low er lot that afternoon. She gave me her opinion the other fvening. She believes In modern things and means to do the marrying if any is done!" "But," whispered a persistent voice, "Mary Bushnell isn't the only girl who would make a good farmer's wife. Do you mean to say you intend to let a girl's white hands, and bright hair that is combed as farm women do not comb theirs, blind you to other charms?" continued th voice, mad deningly. "She has fine clothes and a lively time there In town. The judge's family trust her, and depend on her as if she belonged to them. What would she care about you and your quiet, old-fashione.i home up here among the hills? William groaned at the impossibility of it. How had he come to let a slip of a girl like Lucy Redding get such a hold on him? "I've just got to forget It," he said at last, "but I can never marry any other girl." When William Parker walked, a few days later, into the Judge's side porch and rang the door bell, his heart beat tumultuously. The door opened and the pretty lit tle maid stood before him. "Oh, Mr. Parker, you have brought more eggs; I am so sorry to tell you we shall not need them." The eyes she raised to his filled sud denly with tears. "What is the trouble'" asked Wil liam in his direct manner. The girl stepped out. closing the door after her. "Sit down," she motioned to a chair. "I've just got to talk with someone, and you have always been so kind." William sat down, dumbly. "It really isn't anything so dread ful," she tried to say cheerfully. "It's simply means that I am out of a place! The family have gone away for Mrs. Russell's health, and the house is to be closed today." "But there must be plenty of other people who will want you," stammer ed William. "There are no other houses like this, in this small place, you pee she ex plained, smiling at his distress. "I expect to go to work in the factory tomorrow you know I have my moth er to care for." "But that is impossible." cried Par ker. "There is a place I could go to, in the country," she continued, strange ly comforted by his interest; "but I cannot leave mother alone." "And you would go?" incredulously. "Indeed yes, if I could!" "Then, Lucy, will you- He paused, confused by his wn audacity. Lucy looked at him, and a beautiful blush grew in her cheeks "Can that be true, dear?" he cried, taking her hands. "I thought I was too rough and plain for you; I never dared dream you could care for me. Will you marry me today, Lucy, and let me take care of you and your mother?" "Oh, no," breathed Lie-; "not to day!" "Listen, dear girl. I've loved you for weeks, but I could not bring myself to tell you because I thought there was no hope. I cannot have you In that dreadful factory, child. Come home with me today, and as soon as she can get ready we will 9ome back after your mother." Lucy laughed nervousiy. "But I never heard of tuch a thing," she persisted. "Well, you never were married be fore, were you?" Not unltl he led his wif s into the pleasant oM-fishioned farmhouse, did W'illiam Parked consider th condition of his housekeeping. "I ought not to have brought you here," he said contritely, "until I had had things put to rights a. little, poor girl!" "But it looks very well considering the time you spent in the house," de clared Lucy stoutly. "And what a de lightful room!" They went over the hiius together. "Oh. I love it already cried the girL "You've no idea hor proud I am of these lovely old-fashioned things." "You must fix things to suit your self." said the husband proudly, "I would not change a thins: for the world; it is too dear and homelike as it is!" Jason Parker paused in amazement at the kitchen door. Supper was near ly ready in the big kitchen that some how wore a changed aspect. Come in, Jason, and meet my Wife. called his brother cheerfully. "We thought we'd have supper ready by the time you came up." Jason walked In. "I I hope you H be very happy," he manage', to stam mer before he darted back toward the barn. "He didn't like it!" cried Lucy. "Indeed he did he was only sur prised as well he might be," declared her husband. "I will go out and see him, dear." "I've taken your advice," said Wil liam, when he found his brother In the harness room. "I see you have," answered Jason. "But, Great Scott, man, I never thought of your doing it' I was sim ply trying to break the ce to tell you that Mary and 1 had dt-cided to get married, Christmas!"

Various cities in the United States have had as heads of their local gov ernment, whether Republican or Democratic, many men of strong and independent characters who insisted on being mayors in fact as well as in name, but none of these has ever car ried out this principle more thorough ly than has the present mayor of the most important city on the American continent. He is a devout believer in the ancient adage of "hewing to the line, letting the chips fall where they may." The falling of these "chips" has at times displeased many persons, political and otherwise, but Mayor Gaynor has taken little count of this when convinced that he was doing what was beet for the Interest of the city. "Prof. Brooks has recently made the broad assertion that corruption is widespread throughout the United States, and that, in spite of all super ficial appearances to the contrary, the relative extent and harmfulness of corruption is decreasing in the most progressive and modern countries; that certain forms of public corrup tion are carried on more openly and, if one may use the expression, more 'reputably' in the country end small towns than in great cites. Do you agree with these views?" asked the reporter. "No doubt the assertions of corrup tion In government in this country are much exaggerated," replied the mayor. "I am bound to say that I think, from actual observations, that there is rela tively as much corruption In small communities as in large ones. I am absolutely certain that this is true hereabout," he added, with much posi tiveness. "Moreover, thereis more immorality and crime, proportionately, in small communities than in large ones," he continued. "Those who think that the people of cities are more immoral than are the people of small communi ties are greatly mistaken. I have a good deal of belief in the statement, 'God made the cities, but the devil made the towns!' All sorts of politi cal graft goes on in small communi ties, also. Moreover, there are five votes bought In the country to one in the city. People dicker for the sale of their votes almost openly in the country. There is very little corrupt voting in the city of New York. That has been so for a long time." "How do you regard Prof. Brooks' further assertion that 't'emocracy can scarcely escape being covrupt because it recognizes, with its advanced con science, so many duties?" The mayor waved his hind in a dep recating way. "Democracy is no more corrupt than is monarchy. The quotation you attri bute to Prof. Brooks seems to me to be a mere jingle. It sounds nice, but you have to stop to see what it means. I fear it does not mean much of any thing," he answered. "Is American politics, then, Improv ing or retrograding, in your opinion?" I asked. "Improving, decidedly," he said. New York Times. Buffalo Herd on Train. Forty buffaloes, constituting one of the tew remaining herds in the coun try, have Just had a long journey by train, and hereafter will be denizens of New Mexico instead of Utah. They are the property of "Buffalo" Jones, so known because years ago he decided to bend his efforts towards the preser vation of these animals. He has since gathered all he could, and many zoos throughout the country have been able to get the much prized specimens of this animal only because of his efforts. His main herd for some time lias been kept on a ranch in southwestern Utah, near the border of the Kaibab forest reservation. He decided recent ly, however, that it would be better to move the bison to New Mexico. This involved a long Journey. First, with the aid of an experienced, cowboy, he drove the herd to a railway station. 100 miles from his ranch. Writh grtat difficulty the animals were persuaded to enter the cars. All are wild, and some are extremely vicious, and they did not like the inclosure offered to them. They were finally put aboard, how ever, and entered upon the long Jour ney, which had to be taken In a long semicircle through Salt Lake, Chey enne, Denver and Santa Fe. The buffaloes did not take kindly to the car traveling, and It was impossi ble to let them out when rests were taken for feeding and watering. They were in good condition, however, whan they passed through this city. Denver dispatch to the New York Times. QUAKER MEDITATIONS.

Pink Pills in the Treat, ment of Even Severe Nervous DUease. Mm. Tonald Galloway, of No. 1516 Harrlegty avenue, Kansas City, Mo., Fiifl'pred from nervous prortration with out relief until she tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says: "I suffered for a year from what the doctors called nervous prostration, due to overwork. I was dizzy all of the time and very nervous. I would get short of breath and felt as though I would fall at each piep. At times I would be so nervous that I would shake II over and it seemed as though I was being pricked with needles. I could not hold a plate for fear of dropping it. There were severe pains in my side. I was reduced in weight, could not work and was confined to bed for a month. I had sick headaches twice a week and could not sleep nights. "The doctors did not seem to help me and they said it would be a long time before I would get well. I also tried many medicines out without help nd had given up hope of getting well. A friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to my husband. I did not ee much of an improvement until I had taken three boxes of the pills. From then on I began to sleep and eat letter and felt better in every way. The pills did me so much good that I kept on taking them until cured and I have been well ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the most direct cure for nervous troubles because they remove the cause of these diseases by building up and purifying the blood. The pure blood whioh tney make fur nishes the nerves with needed elements until they are restored to their normal Ptrength. The pills have made so many remarkable cures in nervous disorders that no sufferer can afford to neglect giving them a trial. They can be obtained at any drugstore or direct from the Dr. Williams Medi cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., at 50 rents per box; six boxes for $2.50. While so promptly effective, Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills contain no harmful stimulants or opiates. They are per fectly safe and create no drug habit.

NET EARNINGS DROP A Decrease of 2i Per Cent. From Last Year. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Kansas City, Mo., July 21. Following the drastic cuts in maintenance ex penditures made on the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain in March and April, aggregating 25 and 26 per cent respec tively, President B. F. Bush, Boon af ter assuming charge of the property, stated that these reductions would, if possible, be made up in May and June, regardless of what the surplus showing for the year should be. His policy, he said, would be one of full maintenance of the property. Xt would .seem from the report sub mitted by the company for May that President Bush not only bus nw his promise, but is doing even better than putting back into the property what it lost in the two earlier months by the scaling down of maintenance expenditures. On the Missouri Pacific proper, according to New York reports, maintenance of way and structures in May show an increase of $211,000 or 6o per cent, and maintenance of equipment an increase of $144,000 or 47 per cent. Total expenditures $356,000 or 55 per cent. I'pkecp i;.eiises Higher. On the Iron Mountain similar re sults are shown. Maintenance of way and structures Increased $151,000 or 48 per cent, and equipment upkeep in creased $125,000 or 41 per cent. The total increased $276,000 or 44 per cent. On the entire system for May main tenance expenditures show a total in crease of $642,000 or 50 per cent. The increases shown in May make the eleven months' maintenance expendi tures on the whole system $350,000 in excess of those reported for the corres ponding eleven months of last year. Due to those unusualy high mainte nance charges May operating, not in cluding taxes, for Missouri Pacific pro per required 99.4 per cent of the gross revenues; in other words the company saved for taxes and charges only $10, 251 out of gross revenues of $2,021,700. Net Karnings Decrease. In the eleven months ending May 31 the Missouri Pacific proper reports only $2,096,000 net earnings after taxes and expenses, against $4,719,000 last year, while the Iron Mountain reports $7, 339.000, against $7,669,000 last year. The combined net earnings for the system, therefore. will aggregate $9,433,000. against $12,389,000 last year, a decrease of $2,956,000. or about 24 per cent. If President Bush has followed the same policy of maintenance expendi tures in June as in May it is not likely that the combined system will report net earnings in excess of $10,000,000 for the year. Including other income es timated on the same basis as that re ported in 1910, total available income will amount to about $12,000,000 with which to meet the year's charges amounting to $13,400,000. A deficit of between $1,400,000 and $1,500,000 may therefore be expected, but If this is oc casioned by a policy of better mainten ance of the property no criticism can be advanced. The property needs the money more than the surplus account and any Improvements made at present should later return their cost to in come several times over. I,OS AXGELES TO ST. I.OTJIS.

SiansfielcPs DRUGGISTS X 632 Kansas Ave. X Goulds Will Give New Direct Service Between Points. Los Angeles. Cal., July 21. The railroad system dominated by the Gould interests has made arrange ments for a new through direct pas senger service between Ixs Angeles and St. Louis and the Missouri river. Announcement of this service in con nection with consolidation of the International and Great Northern rail roads, is of interest to the Pacific Coast, in as much as it will facilitate service between this part of the coun try and Mexico. Notice of the new train service was received here by S. C. Nash, general agent of the Texas and. Pacific, at Los Angeles. The new through passenger service between St. Louis and Los An geles, by extension of Texas and Pa cific service in Texas, provides for a through daily passenger fain each way between St. Louis and El Paso, con necting with a through sleeping car service from El Paso tc Los Angeles over the Southern Pacific. Ultimately through passenger trains will be operated between St. Louis and Los Angeles over the tracks of the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and teoutnern and the Texas and Pacific between St. Louis and El Paso, and the Southern Pacific between El Paso and Los Angeles. This if the third through passenger route gained by Los Angeles within the last few months. Recently the Rock Island and the Southern joined in a through service from the Atlantic Coast by means of a through train over the Choctaw route of the Rock Island from Memphis to El Paso, and the Southern Pacific between El Paso and Los Angeles. The St. Louis and San Francisco and the Santa Fe lines entered into a traffic agreement by which the Frisco will operate through passenger trains from St. Louis, Mem phis and New Orleans, using the Santa Fe tracks from Avard. Okla.. to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Santa Fe will soon put in operation the Cole man cut-off. which will give the Pa cific coast a new short line between Galveston and New Orleans. ill The large appropriation insures an ex cellent structure, one that will be a credit to the company and to Hering-ton. IFKRINGTON IMPROVEMENTS. Quick Returns nal Wants. State Jour- Division Offices Will be Enlarged New Officers. Herington. July 21. It comes from a reliable source that the Rock Island road has made an appropriation of $12,000 to enlarge and remodel the of fices at this point. For a long time there has not been sufficient room her for the force and it has been known that it was only a question of time until larger and more convenient quar ters were secured. Wher the addition is made it is said that the accounting force, the master mechanic's office and probably the master caroenter's office will be moved here. This means that from ten to twenty-five more men will come to Herington. While official an nouncement of the appropriation has not been made, the story comes so directly and from such a reliable source as to warrant iu publication. TRAIN" RULIX OF LONG AGO. How Trains Were Dispatched In Kan sas Without Teleyraph. Concordia, Kan., July 21. Robert Merriman, chief clerk, for Dispatcher Peterson, has been cleaning out the store room in the Missouri Pacific de pot and while doing so ran across some of the old reports of the Central Branch when the western terminus was Watervllle and there were no tele grams to assist in the dispatching of trains. Among these early records is a time card when there was one pas senger train each way per day. The instructions on the time card to the engineer are, "When the west bound train arrives at Farmington if the train from the west is cot there, the engineer will wait fifteen minutes and if the eastbound train doea not arrive i he will proceed to Effingham." The waiting to be repeated untal the trains met at some station and passed, the westbound train always waiting until the eastbound would have time to make the run from the next station west. In this way in case the one train should be delayed the other would soon become as kte by waiting the required fifteen minutes at the sta tions. The conductors in these days were renuirerf to rftoort the time of the ar rival and departure of their trains from every station and when they came in from the runs wouKl turn this report in to the dispatcher. Traveling on trains in those days wa rather a haphazard sort of a performance. The old reports and hies from the office here are being sent to St. Louis, where the paper is turned over to the paper mills. The Interstate Commerce commission requires all reports to be kept on file ten years. Bids for Kansas City Depot Opened. Chicago, July Bids for the con struction of the proposed new $20,000,000 union railroad station at Kansas City, were opened here at a secret meeting attended by President W. S. Kinnare. of the Terminal Railroad association of Kansas City, and Architect Jarvis Hunt. There were seven proposals re ceived, but the contract will not be awarded for several days. WATER IS ALL OUT. Humping Mud From About the Maine WU1 Now Begin. Havana, July 21. All the water in the cofferdam surrounding the Maine has been removed, showing the wreck em bedded in the mud from an estimated depth of 37 feet around the after part of the vessel to an indeterminable depth. That portion of the ship imme diately forward of the central super structure, which was demolished, has disappeared, except for some Jagged pieces of rusted steel protruding above the slime. The engineers will now begin the work of drawing out the Eoft mud by suction. Simultaneously they will be gin the work of dissecting the great confused masses of metal. The bow sec tion, represented by the plates and beams of the bottom of the ship, now stands upwards of 20 feet high. All portions of this section have been fully identified, including the remains of wa ter tanks originally located on the low est deck, and apparently not affected by the explosion. All these parts have been photographed for future exami nation and to confirm the identification prior to the dissection of the wreck age. A curious feature resulting from the total removal of the water is that the amidship main deck and central super structure, remaining practically level, constitute In effect, a great cantilever, sustaining their own weight without any direct under support. All the struc tural members of the ship beneath this section have been destroyed and the cavity has been half filled with mud. The aft midship section of the berth deck, on which were the ward room and the officers state rooms, is fully exposed, but is almost entirely filled with mud, especially on the port side, the removal of which will be slow and difficult. Hopes are entertained that In this section may be found the body of As sistant Engineer Merritt, who is be lieved to have been in his state room at the time of the disaster. Some fire-scorched bones have been discovered in the vicinity of the over turned conning tower, where the re mains of probably four bodies were previously found. It is believed these were members of the crew, who at the moment of the explosion were sleeping in hammocks suspended from the ceil ing of the forward boiler deck which and folded back over the central superstructure 50 feet aft of its iriginal position. The remains offer no hope of identification. ir. viiw of the total demolition of the crew berthing space, hope diminishes that any considerable number of re mains will be recovered. From present indications three or four months will elapse before the mud surrounding the wreck is removed and all portions ot the ship made visible. HARRY RIGGS RISES QUICKLY. Lawrence Boy Granted Degree by Uni versity of Michigan. Lawrence, Kan., July 21. Harry E. Riggs was reared In Lawrence and he graduated from the engineering de partment of the university. Last year he was honored with being granted the letters C. E. to attach to his name by the University of Michigan. This was the first time that great school had ever granted this degree to any gradu ate of the school. Mr. Riggs won this on a paper which he prepared on public utilities. He went into an extensive study of the public utilities of the country and 'i was such a complete document that the American Society of Engineers has since had it published for the use of all engineers. Mr. Riggs has been an engineer in Toledo since his graduation but of re cent years has been doing more and more work of investigating and re porting on physical valuation. He was first attracted to his work by being recommended to Governor Pingree of Michigan to assist in making a phys ical valuation of the public utilities of Michigan. One of the other big works he did was to make an exhaustive re port on the Central Georgia railroad. CASTOR I A Tor Infanta and Children.

Inventor of the Trust Glories in His Work. New York, July -21,, "All such wrongs right themseles," was the re assurance John E. Parsons gave the Sugar trust investigators today when they asked him how to curb the p! corporations. When the former attor ney of the American Sugar Refining company took the stand again Repre sentative Asher C. Hinds inquired: "As probably the world's most eminent ex pert on these matters, what would you suggest that a sovereign government can do to prevent these great com binations of capital from the extra-va gances they have exhibited in the past?" "My theory Is, and it is supported by the greatest economic writers, that all such wrongs right themselves," re plied Mr. Parsons. "If there is top much water in the stock, that will take care of itself. The government can not in equity interfere in private affairs. There should he no limit to capitalization so long as it is not In jurious or fraudulent." "I certainly claim to be the pioneer in the formation of the American trust," said Parsons, In answer to an other question. "I am very proud of it." At the start of the congressional in vestigation today Charles B. Heiko, former seeretary of the American Sugar Refining company, declared his ignorance of the mysterious resolution passed by the board of directors in whieh H. O. Havemeyer said the com pany should take action relative to 'injurious litigation and hurtful legis lation and appeals from each of the political parties." Heike said that the late John E. Searles was the secretary and did not turn over to him records of the action taken on that resolution. Mr. Madison then got Mr. Parsons to tell about the famous meeting be tween John Arbuckle and H. O. Have meyer which Is supposed to have end ed the big sugar war. Mr. Parsons said that at the conference in question no agreement was reached and the sugar war is still on. "You were counsel for the American when it was prosecuted for receiving rebates?" continued the examiner, "Yes." "And the companv pleaded guilty?" Mr. Parsons explained this at length and said that on Its plea the company was fined $70,000. HE REMEMBERS ONE. Parsons Sa.vs Sugjir Trust Gave $10,000 to Elect Harrison. New York, July 21. Asked about the mysterious resolution about campaign contributions to quiet "injurious litiga tion," and "hurtful legislation," ir. John E. Parsons, testifying before -he sugar trust investigating committee to day, said he recalled having been asked for udvics if the company could make such contributions. "I said the company had such a right to protect its stockholders," said he, "but I certainly wouldn't contribute to buy off persecution. I only know of one political contribution. That was in one of the Harrison campaigns, when the company gave $10,000 to the treasurer rf the Republican campaign commit tee." Mr. Parsors did not want to tell ot his holdings in the American company but finally explained that he received in all 2,500 shares of a par value of $250,000 for legal services. His salary besides was about $10,000 a year. He now owns, he says, only 240 shares of preferred and 240 of common stock. Besides that, he received 1,000 shares of the preferred stock of the National company. He also received $50,00 fur his services in the Franklin refinery case. He refused to say how much ha received in the Pennsylvania refineries eases, as he Is one of those under fed eral indictment in that affair. The government alleges that he received $100,000.

Look on the dead. Stately and pure he lies Under the white sheet's marble folds. For him The solemn bier, the scented, chamber dim, The sacred hush, the bowed heads of the wise. The slow pomp, yea, the sumptuous dis guise Of haughty death, the conjurer even for him. Poor trivial one, pale shadow on the rim. Whom life marked not, but death may not despise. Now is he level with the great; no king Enthroned and crowned more royal is, more sure Of the world's reverence.

General Wlekerliani predicts They Will Go to rieccs- Ifan. ock. Mich., July 1. Big com binations like the Standard Oil cpm pany and the tobacco "trust" are going to be "split up into a number of sep arate and distinct parts," without con nection or monopoly power. This was the prediction in an address made here today by Attorney General Wiekersham, answering "peopla who are saying the decisions of t ie supreme court don't really mean anything." "Don't believe any such talk," the attorney general said. Criticisms seeking to minimize the value of the supreme court decisions came largely, he added, from those who would like to embarrass the admimstration with the sort of "general assault on ail business which would compel every business man. to turn to t,ie other party for relief." Incidentally, Mr. Wickeisbam took occasion to trace the guiding hand of President Taft in the policy of the de partment of justice concluding his speech with the remark that "'no mat. ter who should be at the head of that department, so long as William H. Taft is president, no other policy could ob tain." Mr. Wiekersham then gave an account of the activities of "the peo ple's law office," the department of justice. "First of all." he said, 'there are the great trust eases. The government scored great victories tnere. Do not let anybody deceive you as to that. If the court had held that ery contract that put any restraint of r.ny kind upon ommerce among the states. However light, was a violation of the Sherman law, the department of Justice would have had to illustrate the truth of what Edmund Burke said: 'You can't draw an indictment against a nation.' There are not lawyers enough In the government, nor for that matter, in the country, to draw indictments against everybody who makes a con tract that in any respect operates in some measure to restrain Interstate commerce. A Means to an End. "But when the supreme court said wa must read this statute as reasonable men and give it an interpretation that will not strangle all trade, but which will prevent any undue restraint, pro hibit all contracts and eombination-3 that are intended to interfere with the natural course of trade then the court ave us a means of preventing those evils which led to the enactment of the law. And this is especially so in view of the fact that the court gnve full force to the prohibition of mon opolies and by its decrees ha ordered the breakinr up of the two largest and most successful monopolies or trusts which ever have appeared in this country. "rfome people are saying that these decisions don't reuliy mean anything: ti"t the tilg trusts will simply Teorgan. ize under other forms and go on Just as before. Don't beiieve any such talk Take my assurance for it that those big combinations ere going to split up into a number of separate and distinct parts, no one of which shall have any connection or control over any -other, and no ore of which shall have so large a percentage of the business as to be anything like a monopoly. That is ivi.it I understand the court to require, and nothing less will meet my inter pretation of tne decisions of the -supreme court. Pays Its Way. Well, ;ou have put in the hands of your department of justice a great many other laws to enforce, and we have been enforcing them, and we shall go on enforcing them unless congress next fall shall fail to give us money enough to do so.

Corner Sixth and Quincy Streets IP A CTOR' IP Corner Sixth and Quincy Streets I The Elks will oppose the issuance cf a permanent injunction against their I club building at Seventh and Jackson streets. It became known today that j the club will immediately file an an swer to the petition In the case and j will content the injunction in the Sep i tembr term of the district court, j Following numerous liquor inquisi tions E. R. Simon, county attorney, re cently asked for a temporary injunctioa against the club. The injunction is 1 merely a civil action and no state cast was filed against the club or any of i its members. It is claimed that the evidence secured in the inquisitions j would not so much as warrant a proo j ecution on n nuisance count and Simo.i 1 himsfclf steted that he secured no evi j dence of sales in the building or on j any of the club's property. I U is stated that at a recent meeting of the club several of the members treated th-; club to a keg of beer.

Bees Cured His Rheumatism. ""hat bee stings have heaiinjr anl curative qualities is vouched for by James Cross, a farm hand who suffered with rheumatism in the toes of one foot. H: was told that a bee's javelin would chase away the rheumatic pains, and he tried it. He captured 25 bees, put them in a tight paper box. cut an inch slit in one end, through which h3 poked his toes, and waited patiently fo something to happen. When the impriTOned and thoroughly angered bees saw five human toes ir front of them something happened very quickly. Stingers dashed at the toes in great haste. Cross made ugly faces and writhed but stayed with the game. At the end of two minutes the bee battery had exhausted its ammunition, but when Cross attempted to pull h toes out of the box he found they had swol- i t three times their natural size. The silt In the box was far too small, and he was forced to cut the box to pieces before he could release himself. "Did the remedy cure the rheuma tism?" he was asked. "Well.

Has Been iu Quarantine 24 Hours Without Developments. II cans Much Financially to City of Topeka. Two More Soon to Arrive From the Mediterranean. iZ?i j In the last ear Shawnee county pent J67.064.42 for the improvement of her roads and bridges. This fart is shown in the annual report of J. K. Larimer, county auditor, and of course does not include any of the expense for street and bridge improvement in the city. It is probable that the showing of Shawnee county for the year ending July 1. has set a high water mark tor highway improvements in the state. When the good roads movement was first advanced. Shawnee county enter ed the campaign for better highways with an energy that has resulted in thousands of dollars worth of valuable improvements. Following the big showing of list year, it is probable that the county nil! make an even greater effort to ward highway improvements this year. In fact, it is rumored that several modern new roads will be built the coming year and the work conducted on a systematic basis. In the twelve months just closed several permanent new rock roads were built. In addition to this miles of good oil roads were built and tivse are kept in excellent repair. Topeka owners of cars are probably better ac quainted with the road situation than finy other class of people. Persons who have compared the Shawnee county roads with those of other coun ties realize the extensive improvement that has been made. A comparison of the road and bridge work of last year with the campaign which closed July 1. 1910, shows a net gain of more than 60 per cent in vhe twelve months just ended. In the 1910 rpport is found the information that Shawnee county spent $23,439.72 tor new bridges and bridge repairs .'is sgainst $30,871.27 for the year ending July 1, this year. This gain was com paratively small in comparison with the permanent road campaign. In the July, 1910, report is found the Ftatement that for that year the com missioners spent $17,726.70 for roads. But the 1912 report shows a gain of more than 100 per cent in the improve ment of the highways. The figures given by the auditor this year are $26. 193.15. Probably no county in the state made such a marvelous record in the good roads campaign. And followed by this 100 per cent increase is the state ment from county officials that the work will be carried on this year am' the next and the next until Shawnee county has the best system of public tiighways In the state. At the present time '.'ie roads in the Calhoun Bluffs district are being rs patred. This road has for years been one of the most dangerous in the coun ty. Convict labor is used on the work and if the trial proves a success, mil 's of better roais will probably be built with convict labor. Not only has the good roads cam paign been a joy and comfort to the man with a touring car, but it has been a source of much revenue to Topeka and other towns In the county. With good roads has come the solution of the farmers' troubles and his crors are now moved with ease, where in t'e pa-st it required a four ox team to bring a load of orn to Topeka. Wit each mile of good road thj farmers-' products have been brought closer to a ready market and the w'se agricultur ist never complains when his taxes are invested in better reads.

With the refusal of Judge Aikman to stamp his approval on the compromise between the state of Kansas and the Standard Oil company, the situation regarding the suit here promises to become the topic of an interesting legal discus sion. Dispatches in the daily press con tinue telling how the Standard Oil company is paying thousands of dol lars into the school funos. And down here there's a judge who would dare to block the payment of a. big bunch of fine fat fees Just because he believer the question of guilt or innocence is a pretty big factor in a prosecution of this sort. Up to date 14 suits, alleging unlaw ful .iftwhintiftn in TeBtTQlnt of tmdp. have been filed by Attorney General Dawson against the Standard At least 10 more will be filed. Each of these suits alleges unlawful operation on five counts. Declares Its Innocence. Beginning two weeks ago the Stand ard and the state begun filing com promises in the various counties. In these the Standard ae-reed to Dav $100 judgment on each count, $150 attorney fees, half to the attorney general ana half to the county attorney, and costs of the action. But in all these compromises the Standard has maintainei that it is not e-niltv of anv illeealitv and is paving the fines amounting to nearly $10,000 and attorney s fees amounting to about $3,000, merely to prevent litiga tion. The opinion of the court for Butler eountv will be given Aue-ust 22 at an adjourned day of the June tei-m. It is probable that the compromise will be rejected. "I still hold to my former state ment," said Judge Aikman. "The com pany Is either guilty and should pay a fine as a guilty party or is not guilty and should not be assessed any judg ment. This compromise does not re flect any credit on the state." GOING GOOD AT COUNCIL GROVE. Heavy Tracks Prevent Records from Being Broken. Council Grove, Kan., July 21.

Lewis, jr.. of this city left for Sedg wick county, Missouri, to claim Mis3 Mary Spight for his bride. Some time ago Lewis found the girl's name and address written on an egg. A corre spondence started and the romance is the result. FrecSdes In a recent novel, Elizabeth, the young heroine, in a moment of insano anger with the man she is engaged to and really loves, marries a man for whom she cares nothing. Of her state of mind afterwards the author writes: "She would fall to thinking with vague amazement that the irremedi able catastrophe was out of all pro portion to its cause. It was monstrous that a crazy moment should ruin a whole life two whole lives hers and David's. It was as if a pebble should deflect a river from its course and make it run and overflow a land scape. "Suddenly it seemed to .her as she looked across the roaring gulf that separated her from the past that all her life had been just a sunny slope down to the edge of the gulf. All these 'harmless' tempers which had had no results had pushed her to tRis result. It is not the pebble that turns the current.. It is the eaty, slope that invites it. All her life' Elizabeth had been inviting baleful to morrows. When we shall look back from the depths of these tomorrows and see what we have done, then will we call on the mountains to fall on us and the hills to cover us." I quote these paragraphs because I think they contain a lesson that more people need than will read the novel. There are no isolated wrong deeds. There are no wrong deeds without consequences. We give way to temper, we tell a ile, we fail a friend, we are cruel or mean or impure in any way and perhaps nothing happens. And we think we are fortunate lie cause there are no consequences to our acts. But a are wrong. There are always consequences. You think perhaps I mean merely the effect upon the character, and you think you do not need to worry abo it such vague spiritual consequences as lone as there are no material ones. I do mean that, but I mean much more than that. Every act you do affects your character and ultimately your character affects your life. Just ns surely as you get the spiritual results you will also get the material conse quences. In another passage in this wonder ful novel the author says of Elizabeth "She gasped at the realization which comes to most of use human creatures sooner or later that sins may be forgiven, but consequences are eternal." That is something we all fall to real ize until we have to. We are slow to appreciate that although our yielding to this and that and the other small temptation brings no perceptible con sequences, it is slowly but surely pav ing the way for some larger yielding that shall bring life-changing conse quences. The only way you can escape the Don't Worry About Them. Vou Needn't Keep Them. Get This Stmple Remedy It's Guaranteed. Freckles, like facts, are stubborn things, but unlike facts, are easily re moved. The more stubborn your freckles the more promptly should you get a package of Kintho. Gef-it at Geo. W. Stansfield, 632 Kansas ave., or wherever toilet goods are sold. If Kintho fails, get your mor.ey back. It's so simple and sure you'll almost think it's magical. "Cse Kintho Soap, too.

It is hard enough at best to bear up under terrible heat, but when the stomach is loaded with food it cannot digest and the bowels are clogged with decaying matter, the whole system becomes congested.

Navy Recruit Beats Way Across Coun try to Be Homo Three Hours. Slip Up W ithiu 500 Yards of Big War Boats. Washington, July 21. One certain result of the naval war game in prog ress off the Eastern entrance of Long Island Sound, will be the recommenda tion to congress for a considerable in crease of the number of submarine boats. Even the commander of the attack ing fleet. Admiral Osterhaus, had to admit in his official report to the navy department that the submarines at tached to the defensive fleet had suc ceeded in approaching his big battle ships without detection until they sud denly arose at the short distance of five hundred yards from the anchor age. Equipped with torpedoes that easily travel five times that distance at great speed, it would have been an easy matter for the submarine com manders to have sent some of the big ships clear out of the water if the war had been an actuality. The obvious lesson is that in war time a hostile fleet will never dare anchor off the coast if ther is reason to suspect the presence within twenty five miles of any of tho under water craft.

TO A SCANDAL. lleport Girls Puffing Cigarettes on State House Steps. Police Are Called Upon to Check the Practice. The smoking of cigarettes by small boys and in some cases girls, has be- come so common on the streets in To- peka. that Mayor Billard has decided to give special instructions to his po lice force to watch out for violations of this kind. The mayor is determined to stamp out this practice. If the patrolmen are unable to curb the young snwuera, n extra force of plain clothes men will be stationed in different parts of the city. Mayor Billard says he has received .scores of complaints in the last few v-s f.-nm nennle who have seen boys and girls smoking on the streets and in public places, ast evening ne re ceived a complaint from a woman who was walking through the state house grounds. On the state house steps were two girls and two boys all about 17 nirt and smokine cigarettes. And this isn't the only violation of the law that the mayor will watch. The anti-cigarette law has grown so old that drug stores ana tooacco siores au over the city are selling cigarettes and cigarette papers. It has been reported to the mayor that in most of the best tobacco stores in the city, cigarettes can be obtained yt any time by regular customers of the place. These fame conditions exist in drug stores and other places where tobacco is sold. Furthermore the sale of tobacco to boys under age is a com mon practice in all stores. The mer chants have been allowed to forget the law. Before school let out late In the spring, Mayor Billard received many complaints from people living near school houses. They said the school 1 boys would smoke cigarettes and pipes in the vicinity of the school yards. This was investigated and stopped without any demonstration. Now th'3 practice has been carried on in public places, at band concerts, at the public parks and in the streets. This has aroused the mayor and he is determined to put a stop to the habit. As far as the drug stores and cigar stores are concerned the mayor will have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law unless they abandon their practice. KANSAS PIOXEEIl IS DEAD. A.

Lonely Man Believed to Be an Asylum Deserter. St. Joseph, Mo., July 21. A mys terious tapping heard night and day for hours at a stretch, in a tent pitched on the banks of Lake Contrary, a summer resort, led to the capture last night of F. W. Boyd, supposed from letters found in his possession to be an es caped inmate of the Insane asylum at Norfolk, Neb. Other campers in the vicinity com plained that the incessant tapping pre vented them from Bleeping and two of ficers went to the tent when they found Boyd hammering on a trunk with a stick. His answers to questions were incoherent nd he was arrested. The Nebraska authorities have been notified. Dodges Tax; Fined $300. Eastford. Conn., July 21. Because he evaded the payment of his personal tax of $2. Arthur Miller, a wealthy resident of this place, must pay a fine of $300.99. Miller when asked by the collector to pay the tax, said: "I'll hand it to you in a day or two." Then he left town and the matter was forth with r.laced in the hands of a deputy sheriff, who found him in South Man chester and brought him back. The fine is the largest ever imposed for this oltense. Lewis' Single Binder, the famous straight oc cigar annual sale 11,500,000. WANTED MISCELIcriiOC3.

Mrs. Mary Chapman Tells of Its History. WOOD IS UNPAINTED Several Treaties With Pennsyl vania Indians Signed on It. Antique Dealers Offer" S1,000 for Heirloom. Pittsburg, Kan., July 21. When Wil liam Penn and Roger Williams came to America from their English home, about 16S1, they brought with them considerable furniture. Among other things -vas a mahogany dining taDie of quaint design. This table is now one of the priceless possessions of Mrs. Mary J. Chapman, of this city. Roger Williams was a great great uncle of the mother of Charles S. Chap man, a well to do Pittsburg business man who died in January, 1902, from injuries received at Fort Scott. Penn was a distant relative of Mr. Chap man's great grandfather on his :noth fr's side. The table came into Chap man's possession at the death o hU mother, who inherited it from her mother. It has been in the possession of the Motts, Chapman's mother's maiden name, since the death of Wil liam Penn. The balance of the set of furniture to which the table belongs is in th; his torical museum building in Philadel phia, according to Mrs. Chapman. Tne table is the only piece missing. On it are numerous ink stains which Mrs. Chapman says were made by WiUuini Penn when he was writing and having figned numerous treaties with the In dians of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Chapman also says that it was upon this table that the Declaration of Independence was drawn and signed. Tradition has it. she says, that George Washington frequently sat at this table. She says that the history of the table has been traced back for marly three hundred years and that the find ings of the searchers substantiate her claims. Never Been Stained. The table is a low affair aid is square. It has never been treated with varnish or chemicals of any kini,- so Mrs. Chapman says, yet its surface is ss smooth as glass. The legs are curved in a fantastic fashion and the bottom of them are fashioned in the shape of claws. There is a leaf on each side of the table that drops down when a small lever underneath it is moved. The table is so heavy that a strong man has to tug to lift it. The Chapmans now use the table in their library. On it are piled numer ous books, many of which contain philosophical teachings of Perm. Occa sionally the books are removed and visitors are served tea on the tabie. Mrs. Chapman says that a little soap and water gives the table a finish so bright that one can see their reflection, in its surface perfectly. The nails and screws with which the table is put together were fashioned bv hand. They are blunt and the screws hardly resemble the screws of today. Yet they have held the table together perfectly for nearly two hundred and fifty years. The Chapmans have had the table in their possession for th past quarter of a century. It will he given to Charles S. Chapman, jr.. at the death of his mother. Airs. Chapman possesses also a siiver sugar bowl that was hammered out about two hundred years ago. En graved on it are the letter "T. P. M." These stand for the name of the ves sel's original owner. Tillie Pennsylvania Mott. A coat of arms hammered into the bottom of the dish shows that it is extremely old. "T have often refused as much as a thousand dollars for that table," Mrs. Chapman said recently. "Art and an tique collectors have frequently been here to see the table and they all de clare that it is genuine. I wouldn't part with it for anything in the world." A HOPEFUL MESSAGE TO SCALP SUFFERERS AND MEN WHO'S HAIR IS THINNING Dandruff now bald later. The Fame is true of scalp disease. In fact baldness is a scalp disease. The trou ble with the greasy salvej and lotions. 1he so-called dandruff anu scalp cures you have tried so far is fiat they don't do anything but temporarily relieve the itching and cake the dandruff so it doesn't fall until its dried out again. .Nothing can cure really f-ure such troubles but a real scalp medicine that will kill the germs cauj'ng dandruff and scalp disease. learning from leading fellow drug gists throughout America that they had found a whirlwind -ure for dan druff, eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp the Brunt JJrug Store on proving to the laboratories com pounding the treatment that it is the most prominent drug store in this city secured the agency for the remedy.

Sold and guaranteed by druggists everywhere nnd In Topeka by the Brunt Drug Co. GRAHAM CO PROSPECTS BETTER. Late Corn and Roughness Guaranteed by Recent Rains. Hill City, Kan., July 21. Rains have fallen over Graham county for the past week and the corn has improved much since then. Some of the farmers will raise 25 bushels per acre if the condi tions remain favorable from now on. A large amount of feed is being put in on the wheat stubble ground. Cane seed and millet are hard to get and the price of the seed very high. Much roughness for stock will be rais ed. Threshing of wheat has begun in earnest. Some of the wheat has turn ed out as high as 20 bushels per acre. A. Fabricus, who lives ten miles northeast of town, threshes 60 acres that made an average of a little over 20 bushels per acre. Both of the elevators in the city have been buying wheat. One of them now has 10,000 bushels on hand. Several cars of that has been sold at Selden and Hoxie for seed wheat. Sometime ago the report was sent out that the county commissioners would provide seed wheat for the farm ers this fall, but that report was wrong as far more wheat will be raised in the county than for seeding purposes. Tak ing the county in general, the farmers are in fine shape and all the corn that was not planted too early and thorough ly cultivated will make good corn. A shower of rain has fallen in the county every day this week. PROWLIXG NEGRO IS SHOT. Boston, a medical student, champion archer of the world, also a member of the party. Z. E. Jackson of Atchison, Kansas, another of the hunters, killed a wild cat, driving his arrow clear through its shoulders. STOCK MUST BE SENT OCT. Grover Wliltson Says Black Man Was Crawling Along Hedge. Winfield, Kan., July 21. Aaron Griffith, a negro, was shot twice by Grover Whitson, at Hackney. One bullet took effect in Griffith's right arm and the other in his right thigh. Neith er wound is dangerous. The sheriff was notified by WThison, and Griffith was brought to Winfield and is being cared for at the county jail. Whitson says he discovered the ne gro crawling along the hedge near his house and when he called to him he jumped up and started to run and he fired twice at him before he fell. Grif fith states that he was making a short cut from his home across Whitso-i's place to get to the interurban right of way when Whitson began to abuse him and then to shoot at him. Whitson has not been arrested as no complaint has been made. Colby Farmers Can Not Keep It at Home Tills Winter. Kansas City. July 21. "The drouth gave us a pretty hard jolt in north west Kansas this year," said W. P. Bales of Colby, "but we are not dis couraged." Colby is the county seat of Thomas county, out near the Colorado line. "It has been an unusually dry year," Mr. Bales said. "I think it has been the worst we have had in 20 years. There has been rain in sections of the country out that way, plenty of rain, during the last week, but it has been local. One day this week three inches of rain fell in the south part of Thomas county, but the rest of the county did not receive enough to lay the dust." The most serious aspect of the case for the northwest part of the state, ac cording to Mr. Bales, is the necessity of parting with the live stock. The late rains will preserve the pastures and allow the farmers to dispose of their older stock at good advantage, but the young stock, including horses, will have to be shipped out of the country for winter feeding, except such as will be needed to run the farms. It has been a good many years since it was necessary for northwest Kansas to resort to the emergency of disposing of all its cattle and horses in order to do what they call "wintering over" the drouth. STRANGER BORROWS $20. Now Kansan Has Issued Description of Ericnd With Draft. Kansas City, July 21. "Don't be gold bricked in the city," was the part ing injunction of his mother to Frel Williams when he left the family home in Iola. "Not I." was Fred's assuring an swer. And as a matter of fact he. wasn't just exactly. But he is minus $20, and a great deal richer in experi ence, and furthermore has a receipt for his money. Fred met an affable stranger at an uptown saloon and the friend confided to him that he had a check for $1,250 that he was going to cash in the morn ing. And as the friendship waxed warmer the friend showed young Wil liams the check. It was signed "U. B. Stung. Superintendent Hope Bros. Co., Kansas City." For the modest sum of $20 which he needed at once, but for a few moments only, he let Fred hold the check, and he would meet him in an hour. Williams waited until a patrolman explained to him that it was unhealthy to stay too long on one spot in the hobo district. The young man showed' his check and told the story. GREENSBl'RG GETS LIGHT PLANT Contracts Closed and Bonds Sold Work Begins Soon. Greensburg, Kan., July 21. Electric lights for the city are now fully assured. The bonds have been sold and the city will be the possessor of a municipally owned system equal to the best in the western part of the state. The city council has entered into contract with the Sheffield Gas Power company, of Kansas City, Mo., for two 50-horse pow er solar oil engines to furnish the pow er. They also awarded the contract for the balance of the electrical equipment to the United Electrical company of Wichita. Both contracts are based on delivery within 40 days. This practical ly provides for everything to put the system in operation, except the power house, and plans will soon be comple ted for that, and actual work will be gin very soon, as it will be ready for the machinery as soon as the machine ry arrives. J. WT. Rigby, of Wichita, has been retained as electrical engineer to build the system and it will be as thorough as good material and work manship can produce. HOW MANY ACRES HAS HE? Kansan Raises 100 Bushels of Spuds to Acre. Augusta, Kan., July 21. A retirad farmer brought some new potatoes to market. They were the real home grown product. So much had been said about the total failure of the po tato crop that this writer questioned the potato king where he got those potatoes. "Raised them," he answered. "Here in Kansas?"'
