Mr-. Ahce Hrizgs. who also resides in Lewiston. Although lie had been ill for a long time, death came suddenly. Forced by the condition of ills health to resign his position as presi dent pro tempore of the senate at the bediming of the present special ses sion of congress, although he retained his membersh i p ill the senate. Senator Vr e soon altersards made bis last journey to the city which always had been his home, l'or several weeks his condition whs not considered necessar ily dangerous. 1'p to last week he rested in comparative comfort, spend ing much of his time in reading or in Inning some member of his family read to him. Last week the senator's illness took n serious turn, but again he rallied rnd this week his, physicians expressed the hope that he might recover. As Tte as 1 in the afternoon he up Prarrd to he in a comfortable condi tion. Shortly afterward it was seen that he was sinking rapidly and at T. :5r o'clock he died. A general breakdown, due to age find his extremely arduous career. :s Ascribed by Senator Frye's physicians fis the cause of death. The Political Effect. Washington. Aug. 9. News of Sena tor Fr; n's death reached the senate in formally while Admiral Togo, the Jap anese, naval hero, was behiir given an ovation during; a ten-minute recess. As the senate was still in the lecist'i tive session of Monday, by reason of continuance under the agreement to vote on the statehood hill on the leg islative day of August 7. it was de cided that no announcement should hp made of the loss of the senate's oldest member old both in ears an! ervloe. There was a unanimous de sire also that when adjournment was taken out of respect for his memory tt be for an entire day. This formality will he complied with. By reason of the recent remocratie victory in Maine and the resultant election of a Democratic governor and legislature. Senator Frye will be suc ceeded by n. member of that party. The change will reduce the Republican membership of the senate to 49 and increase the Democratic membership to 41. Senator Frye's term would have ended March 4, 1913. There are caid to be half a dozen prominent Democrats in the state who will aspire to the short term appointment. The choice will rest with Gnvernnr Plai.std. who will make an appointment. The accession of another Democrat to the penate will make the Maine delegation, for many years solidly Repuhlican! four Democrats and two Republican':, ss the Democrats already have half nf the Maine membership in the house. Senator Frye was one of the last two of that remarkable coterie of Maine tatesmen which beg-an with Hannibnl Hamlin, ended with himself and Sena tor Hale, who retired at the close of the last session of congress and in cluded James G. Blaine. William Pitt Fessenden. Thomas B. Reed and NI on Dingley. Both he and Hale began rrvtce in the senate in 1SS1 and served the nation side by side for 30 years, a much longer time than any ether two men ever sat together in (the senate, whether from the same state or not. HIh Public Career. Frye began his service a? the suc cessor of P.laine and Hale as the suc cessor of Hamlin. Both entered the senate after conspicuous service in th5 house and both began their con gressional careers in the latter body almost simultaneously. The parallel would have been com plete if Mr. Hale had not skipped a. term between the termination of his house and the beginning of his sen ate service and if he had, not piicti eally voluntarily severed his connec tion with the senate by announcing long in advance that he would not be a candidate for re-election after the conclusion of his senatorial term end ing in March. 1911. Mr. Frye was in congress for a period of 40 years, giving him the longest continuous congressional rec ord with the two exceptions of Jus tin S. Morrill, of Vermont, and Wil liam B. Allison of Iowa. For l'i years Mr. Frye had been president pro tempore of the senate and by virtue of the fact that he held this office when the late Vice Presi dent Hobart died, he assumed all the functions of vice president of the I'nited States during the latter half of President McKinley's administration. Previous to the assumption of the duties of presiding officer, Mr. Frye was one of the most active debaters in th senate. Coming to congress before the close of the re-construction period follow ing the Civil war and being a pro 'i x 11 SA MAINE, WHO DIED YESTERDAY. nounced partisan, he immediately be came an active participant in the dis cussions of that thrilling period. He soon took front rank as a speaker and by the time he had served 10 years had risen to a position of such emi nence that hut for his election to the senate he doubtless would have been selected as speaker of the house. Both as senator and representative Mr. Frye gave most of his time to practical questions. He was for many years chairman of the senate commit tee on commerce and in that capa city became an expert on all questions dealing with shipping, navigation, riv er and harbor improvements, light house, revenue cutter and bridge ex amination. He was one of the pro moters of the movement in favor of subsidies for the promotion of Ameri can shipping. So highly was his judg ment In most of these matters regard ed that no ordinary hill reported from the commerce commission was ever questioned. Mr. Frye was one of President Mc Kinley's ardent supporters in the Spanish war and when that conflict was brought to a close was selected as one of the commissioners on the part of this country to negotiate a peace treaty, which he with others afterwards signed in Paris. Before entering congress Mr. Frye had attained distinction as a, lawyer in his native city of Lewiston. The financial outlook was most flattering, but he always declared that while he probably would have been able to amass a large fortune, he had no re grets over his course in foregoing this opportunity. "I would not exchange my life for any monetary consideration,"' he said on one occasion. Senator Cullom now becomes the ranking senator in point of longest service. "I had served with Senator Frye for more than 2S years." he said. "'Mir relations were most intimate. I regarded him as both one of the ab lest and most lovable men in public life." IT GOT ON HSS NERVES. A Too Loving Wife Causes Man to Attempt Suicide. St. Louis. Aug. 9. Philip H. Nick erson. a salesman, cut his arteries in an attempt to end his life, because he said at a hospital where he is recover in, his wife is too affectionate. He has been married only three months. "'I'm fond of my wife," he said, "and I want her to be fond of m Rut there is a limit to all things. She wants to sit continually on my lap and hug and kiss me. If I stand up she stands up too, and places her arms about me. It got on my nerves." Harvard Stars "Flunked." Cimbridse. Mass., Aug. 9. Sad news for Harvard football enthusiasts came out today with the announcement that Dick Lewis and "Dodo" Minot, who were exp?cted to pr.'Ve the star per formers of the 1911 eleven, will not re turn this far. because they failed in the June examinations. Lewis played left end on the 'varsity last fall, while Minot formerly all-Ameriean fallback, was a right gucrd. Bristow Voted for Statehood. Washington, Aug. 9. Senator Kenyon of Iowa was the only progressive Republican who voted last night against the final passage of the statehood bill admitting Xew- Mexico and Arizona. It first ap peared that Bristow of Kansas also had voted against admittng the territories, but this proved to be an error. Senator Bris town voted for the bill.

Cables Expression of Appreciation of Courtesies to Togo. Washington. Aug. 9. President Taft today received the following cablegram from the emperor of Japan: "The splendid welcome accorded by you to Admiral Togo and the friendly sentiments expressed by you on that occasion have touched me very deeply and T pray you to accept this assurance of my most cordial thanks and appre ciation, (Signed) "MUTSUHITO." Admiral Togo left Washington for Baltimore at 10 o'clock today continu ing his tour through the United States, which will be concluded at Niagara Falls on August 20. Through his naval aid. Lieutenant Commander Taniguchi. the admiral expressed his appreciation for the reception accorded him by the United States, from President Taft down. The singular courtesy shown the distinguished naval officer, the ad miral's aide explained, was an indica tion of the friendship of the United States for Japan. His reception here has been one of the most brilliant ever given a foreign visitor. Accompanying Admiral Togo, besides the members of his suite, ware Captain Templin N. Potts. U. S. N., designated by the navy department, and Chandler Hale, third assistant secretary of state, representa tive of the state department, as aides to the admiral. IT WAS ALL A ELUFF. Accused Artilleryman Says He Is Not an Austrian Count. New York. Aug. 9. George Petr, th coast artillery private at Fort Totten who is said to have been accused by his fiancee of being a spy for the Aus trian government, declares he is neith er a spy nor an Austrian count, which title ho is said to have claimed in pressing his suit upon Miss Clara Anita Dyer. According to a published interview with Petr, he declares he adopted the title. "Count Windith Greatz. to im press Miss Dyer, and told her he was in a subordinate position in tne Amer ican army because he was trying to get a great government secret. Later he went to Lexington, Ky.. where he found that Miss Dyer's parents were opposed to his suit. Realizing his blunder, he broke off the engagement. Hf is credited with saying: "I am sorry I made such a bluff, but it can not come to anything serious. CALL IT FREE LOVE. Kpiscopalian and Catholic Churchmen Denounce Astor-Force Marriage. New York. Aug. 9. The church of Rome and the Episcopal church have practically placed a ban upon the mar riage of Colonel John Jacob Astor and Miss Madeline Talmage Force. It is predicted the action of the clergy, with the sensational publicity given the match, may drive Astor to live abroad with his bride, like his expatriated cousin, William Waldorf Astor. Mrs. Force, mother of the bride-to-be, is near a collapse as the result of the at tack of the clergy. The excoriation of the Astor-Force romance is growing daily, and church prelates agree that it is an outrage against comman decency. The senti ment is test illustrated by the words of Father Evers of St. Andrew's Roman Catholic church, who declares: "Such a marriage as that of Colonel Astor" Is simply legalized free love. Thtre is no essential ethical difference between his courtship of Miss Force and the pursuit of Evelyn Thaw by the late Stanford White." Can't Marry In New York. Following the vitrioiic attack on the match by the Rev. George Chalmers Richmond of Philadelphia on Sunday. Bishop Suffragan Charles S. Burch of the Episcopal diocese of New York to day declared that unless Colonel Astor should convince a council of bishops that he was the innocent party in his divorce proceedings his marriage to Miss Force would not take place in the Episcopal church. Bishop James DeWolf Perry of the Rhode Island diocese has declared the wedding could not take place in any church in that state. Two pronounce ments apparently bar the match from the Episcopal church in both Newport and New York city. In the case of New York the church In its attitude as expressed by Bishop Burch is but back ing up the law as under the decree granted Colonel Astor's wife he was prohibited from remarrying in this state. Newport, it was generally be lieved, would be the scene of the cere mony. Bishop Burch pronounced against the solemnization of the ceremony in the New York diocese at his smmer home at Bellport. L. I. He said: "Before Colonel Astor and Madeline Force can be married by an Episcopal clergyman he must convince a council of Episcopal bishops that he was the innocent party in the divorce proceed ings that annulled his marriage to his former wife." COMMITTEE BACKS UP. Decides Not to Investigate Steel Trust Campaign Contributions. Washington, Aug. 9. The steel trust investigating committee at an execu tive session today decided not to press at this time the questions of campaign contributions in connection with (ico. W. Perkins of Jew York, a director of the U. S. Steel corporation who was yesterday threatened with contempt proceedings before the house f rep resentatives. The committee decided to require the steel corporation to pro duce the books of subsidiary compan ies. When the executive session of the committee adjourned Chairman Stanley said: "Nothing to say until 2 p. m." "The chair changed its rulings on campaign contributions." said Repre sentative Young, Republican. "Young ought to know," said Attor ney R. V. 3indabury, of the steel cor poration, smilingly. The resolution demanding the books of the subsidiary companies also directed legal steps ir. the event of their nonproduction. The committee's decision not to press the inquiry into campaign contributions was based upon the conclusion that the house resolution did not give auth- oritv to go into those matters. It was said tha1. Representative Littleton, of New York, insisted that the committee would thus transcend its power. Chairman Stanley. Representatives Littleton and Sterling, and HerDert Knox Smith, commissioner of corpora tions, had a conference with President Taft at the White House following the executive session. All refused to dis cuss the conference. Stanlev and his associates, it was learned "later, had gone to the "White House to ask the president to further release the reports Of the commissioner of corporations on: the steel industry with a view of getting; at some of the matters sought in the inquiry. President Taft, It was said, promis ed to furnish to the committee al' in formation In the possession of the bu reau of corporation in regard to the steel trust which could be furnished within law. AID FOR MR. BROWN. K. F. D. Carriers I&ted to Stand and Be BlecU Wrashington. Aug. 9. Something live ly in the "get rich quick" line is ex hibited in the little scheme which is a crrr.A manv members of nun aftiinviiis a congress who are interested in the rural free delivery system. Tho Kio-iit iden is a suggestion to every rural carrier in the United States that he present w. u. Brawn, etu the Bural Free Delivery News, with one dollar in consideration of Brown's alleged heroic serv ices in inducing con gress to raise the pay of the rural car riers. As there are about 42.000 of these car riers in the country, it is obvious that if they should respond, or even if the majority of them should respond, to the touching appeal in behalf of Brown, the latter would be uplifted financially in a way to warm the cockles of his heart. It would be "easy money," gen uine "honest graft." The circular through which the rural carriers are being solicited was sent out from Chicago July 24 by H. H. Windsor, who founded the Rural Free Delivery News and later sold it to the present editor. Brown. The interest which Windsor has in the matter of the little gift of a dollar from every rural carrier to Brown is certainly sig nificant in this connection. Brown may or may not owe Windsor a balance on the purchase price. Having heard of the circulation of thi3 appeal, and desiring to protect the service from such methods as well as to prevent the infraction of its own rules, the fourth assistant postmaster general July 29 sent out many thou sands' of copies of a letter apprising postmasters of what was going on and suggesting that they warn carriers. The Windsor circular, however, had five days start of the department warning, and there is no telling how many of these dollars have been gath ered up in the interim. It is not un likely that congress may have its at tention called to the actitives of "Wind sor and Brown and that definite legis lative steps may be taken to make this sort of fortune hunting dangerous. TOPEKA MAN HURT. P. A. Peck Injured Diving at Lakeside, Michigan, Is Paralyzed. Laporte, Ind., Aug. 9. P. A. Peck of Topeka, recreating at Lakeside, Michigan, a summer resort, was the victim of an accident yesterday which may leave its effects during life. In diving from a log in shallow water he struck his head in such a way as to cause unconsciousness for an hour, and when he revived It was found he was almost completely paralyzed. World's End Draws Nearer. Hutchinson, Kan., Aug. 9. "While the Seventh Day Adventist church does not believe in setting the exact date for the end of the world, the time is not far off now," said E. Harris, gen eral secretary of the Hutchinson con ference of that church at a meeting here today. "The prophecy of Christ that he should come when the genera tion that witnessed the falling of the stars passes is about to be fulfilled. The stars fell 78 jears ago. The gen eration which witnessed the fall is about gone.'' Restrict Liquor Licenses. Washington. Aug. 9. A bill prohibit ing the issuance of federal permits or special license tax stamps for the sale of liquor in "dry" states or communi ties has been introduced by Repre sentative Goodwin of Arkansas. TAFT WILL VETO. PresidentWill Return Statehood Bill to Congress With an Announcement of His Disapproval of It. PASS OVER HIS HEAD. Members of Both Houses Claim There Are Enough Totes. Hope of an Early Adjournment Bias Been Dissipated. Washington, Aug. 9. Upon official announcement of the death, of Senator William P. Frye adjournment was ta ken by the senate at 12:06 p. m., to noon Thursday out of respect to his memory. The Lorimer election investigating committee adjourned to meet in Chi cago in October. Secretary of State Knox urged ex peditious action on the British and French arbitration treaties before the foreign relations committee. Senate ard house appointed commit tees to attend the funeral of Senator Frye at Lewiston. .Me. The committee on finance decided to report the cotton revision bill adverse ly to the renate on Thursday. The steel trust investigating commit tee in executive session decided not to press George W. Perkins for answers regarding campaign contributions but announced that it would require the production of books of subsidiary com panies. Investigation of the Wiley and Kemsen hoard charges was coi.tinued by agricultural committee. Senator Cummins, of Iowa- progres sive Republican, will offer an amend ment to the cotton bill when it omes before the senate providing for the revision of the iron and steel schedule of the Payne-Aldrich law. This complication, coming on top of the threatened veto by the president of the statehood bill and the deadlock on the wool bill apparently has thrown all hope of early adjustment in the air. Representative Humphrey, of Wash ington, presented to the house today a resolution asking to have the house committee on interior department ex penditures discharged from further consideration of the Controller bay in vestigation and to have the matter put into the hands of a select committee of five members of the house. Word was received at the capitol to day that President Taft unquestionably will veto the New Mexico and Arizona statehood bill passed by the senate last night. His objection is to the. judiciary recall feature which was left in the Arizona constitution. Just what congress will do in the case of veto at this time is not known. In the past there has been talk of steps to relieve President Taft from passing on the constitution of the new states. How this can be accomplished is problematical. Chairman Flood, of the house com mittee on territories, author of tha resolution, declared today that there would be plenty of votes in the house to pass it again over the president's veto. As to the senate, he said, he could not speak. He urged the Demo crats of the house to get together as soon as the veto message was an nounced. Mr. Flood was surprised to learn that the president would register his disapproval of the resolution and said it had been drawn largely to meet Mr. Taft's objection. Senator Culberson is authority for the statement that the senate likewise would pass the bill ove the president's veto if the question is presented to that body. It was also said the statehood question would re suit in prolonging the session. COOPER IS SUED AGAIN. II. W. KuJer, a lawyer. Claims $'J00 Attorney's 1 Ve. The expense account in John G. Cooper's latest matrimonial venture continues to grow and there is not the least telling just when the aged heart breaker will strike bottom. In a suit filed today in the court of Topeka, H. W. Euler, an attorney, asks J200 for legal advice in untangling the knotty love affairs. On the witness stand in the recent alimony suit brought by Cora T. Cooper, the defendant testified that Euler was not and never had been his lawyer. But Euler went to the stand and said he regarded himself as re tained in the case and refused to di vulge Cooper's secrets concerning his friendship with supposed affinities. In addition to providing for the wants of Baby Cooper, Cora, the wife, and the painful necessity of setting aside property for his family's sup port, there are many miscellaneous bills that will shake the Cooper bank account. In the first place Cooper has been a harvest for the legal fraternity. Somehow he wants to discuss his fam ily affairs with numerous members of the bar. Then, in a hasty moment, these lawyers send John a bill for ad vice rendered. There is also a bill of $200 claimed by Colonel Booge of the Home Com fort, who brought about the happy courtship and final marriage of Cora and John. Booge says he has received $25 on this account. On many occa sions he has threatened to bring suit for his services as a welder of hearts. But he has never taken action. Cooper denounces these claims in the loudest language. He Is visibly pained at the audacity of persons whom he declares are trying to grab his few life's savings. He will contest the Euler claim when the case is called for trial August 1 5. Lords Censure the Government. London, Aug. 9. By a vote of 282 to 68, the house of lords carried a mo tion made by Lord Curzon censuring the goverrment for having secured from the king a promise of sufficient peers to pass the veto bill should that measure be rejected by the upper house of parliament. The motion was similar to that of Arthur J. Balfour, the opposition leader, which was lost :n the house of commons by a majority of 113. BASF.BALL WEATHER. Western League.

It's Going to Ba Cooler. All heat records for this date have been broken today, the mercury hav ing reached the 103 degree mark at a little after 1 o'clock this afternoon. It might also be mentioned that this is the hottest day since July 5, when all previous records for Topeka were broken. "There is cool weather in storage along the Canadian bound dary," said "Sunny" Flora, the local observer, this afternoon, "but it does n't seem to be coming this way. It is now time to prepare for more heat by getting out your ice cream and lem onade. This is the finest growing weather that ever was. Generally fair tonight and Thursday is the prediction."

Bon Hickle, I-'ather of Two Children, Mud $300 for Desertion. Ninety days in tiie county jail and a.l fine of $300 is what it will cost Ben Hickle, who deserted his wife and two babies while they were living in Quincy. 111., and came to Topeka "to start all over again." Mrs. Hickle and the two babies fol!oved the derelict husband and father to- Topeka. and last night he was arrested on a state war rant. Hickle, who is 26 years old and a rather promising looking young man, appeared in Judge Schoch's court today wearing a new suit of clothes. HI shoes were just shined. his face was close shaven and he appeared prosper ous and happy. But the broad smile in Hickle's face vanished when he was told the cost of his hasty action. Mrs Hickle and the babies were not in court when the wandering husband was sen tenced. "Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked Judge Schoch, as he glanced over his glasses and into the face of the young man. "Judge," said Hickle. who didn't ap pear a bit nervous as he said it, "I am just as guilty as I can be." Then the formality of a trial was dis pensed with and Hickle was fined $30? and sentenced to 90 days in the county jail. As he was leaving the court house, a marshal from the court of To peka served Hickle with papers in a suit brought by his landlady, Mrs. T. M. Grainger, of 406 Madison street, in which she asked judgment for $38.70 for board and lodging. Hickle was married to a pretty younjr girl in Quincy. III., six years ago. At that time he was earning good wages as a mechanic and chauffeur. After the two babies 2 and 4 years old arrived at the home, Hickle just had to travel. For the last year Mrs. Hickle has searched for her husband, Recently she learned he was in Topeka. She ar rived here yesterday afternoon and late in the evening Hickle was arrested. Since coming to Topeka, Hickle has been employed by the Santa Fe and earns good wages. "There is a little girl here who thinks I am Just the whole thing," Hickle told an officer who aided in the arrest, "but when she hears of this, there will be nothing doing for me." At the court house today Hickle re fused to divulge the name of his new found love. HIS GOUT IS RISING. The Pope's Condition Is J jess Reassur ing Today. Rome. Aug. 9. The afternoon re port of the pope's condition was less reassuring than that of the early morning. His temperature while not increased remains about 100 and the heat of the day, which reached 95 degrees Fahrenheit, exhausts the pa tient's strength. The most disquiet ing symptoms is the progress of the gout attack, the pains from which ex tended from the knee midway to the thigh. Dr. Petacci and Dr. Marchiafava when they visited the pontiff together were not satisfied with his condition, as they found his organism lass ready than before to resist the attack. For this and because of the heat, they or dered him removed to a larger, airier and cooler room. THKY OPPOSE ARBITRATION. 'Imported Americans" Want to Dic tate Action of the Government. Buffalo, X. Y.. Aug. 9. The Irish and Germans of Buffalo have joined hands in a protest against the ratifica tion of the arbitration treaty with Great Britain. A committee of six delegates representing the Ancient Or der of Hibernians and the German American alliance, will have charge of the movement, which will include a petition to the senate and a big publ'e mass meeting. The German-American alliance represents eighty-five affiliated societies in its action. KILLED HIS FRIEND Pratt County Farmer Lured From Home to His Death. Marion Fleming, of Cullison, Victim of Shocking Crime. THREAT OF LYNCHING'. J. McBright, Charged With let, Caught at Medicine Lodge. Had Been Visiting at Home of Man He Killed. Pratt. Kan., Aug. 9. Marion Flem ing, a farmer living near Cullison, this county was murdered near his home yesterday by J. McBright of Medicine Lodge, who was a closa friend of Fleming, and has been so for years. McBright lured Fleming from his home Monday after a visit at the house and after reaching a point about a mile from the house he killed Flem ing by beating him over the head with an axe. He then returned to the farm house and told Fleming's wife that her husband had sent him back after a team and wagon, which he se cured and returned to the scene of the crime and took the body of his victim to a straw stack and buried it. Officers located him near Medicine Lodge late Tuesday and the sheriff went and got him immediately. Fleming was a married man and had four children. He was quite well to do. The excitement is intense in that community and lynching Is fear ed if McBright is brought back here. MATCHED LOU DILLON. Uhlan Equalled World's Trotting Rec ord of 2 Minutes at Cleveland. Cleveland. O., Aue. 9. Uhlan. h champion trotting gelding, owned by C. K. G. BilUngs of Xew York, equalled the world's trotting record to wagon at.th North Randall track here, stepping the mile in 2:00 flat. Conditions that were not exactly favorable prevented his break ing the record established by Lou Dillon at Memphis. Tenn., on October 28, 1903, when she did the mile ?in similar time. The track was not as fast as usual. Th fitful breeze also tended to hamper him. Mr. Billings drove the gelding. When he steered his charge past the three-quarter pole in 1:30 the Immense crowd present felt sure that a record would be broken, for Uhlan has always been noted for his finishing strength. However, he faltered slightly on the stretch and when thf judges, after a comparison of watches, finally announced the time, it was found that he had failed in his attempt to lower the record. The quarter was timed at :29'i, the half st :59, and the three-quarters at 1:30. The attempt was made immediately fol lowing the conclusion of the regular pro gram. The second day's program of grand cir cuit races furnished some splendid sport, particularly in the 2:05 pace and the 2:0 pace, the latter for the Forest City stake at $2,000. In the 2:05 pace, C The Limit, the favor ite, fulfilled expectations hv winning. The 2:08 pace for the $2,Otio Forest City stake, the biggest money event of the day, furnished a big surprise in the upset of Twinkling Dan, the favorite, who sold at $100 to $50 and was expected to gain an easy victory. He finished sixth in the first heat and fifth in the second and. was distanced in the final heat. Sunny 'Jim lost the first heat toGincer by a nose, hut won the second and third and the race.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL WEDNESDAY JBVENHTG, AUGUST e, 1911. KAWS ARE LOST. Washouts In Western Nebraska Spoiled Their Schedule. But They Will Probably Turn Up ia Lincoln Tomorrow.

Meither Lincoln or Pueblo seein to be Able to capture the Bears. All they can do ia wait until the Grizzlies hit the road and hope they will be beaten there. No advices have reached Topeka con cernins the delay to the Topeka team en route to Lincoln. It Is even a ques tion whether they wore on the Rock Island or the Burlington. The local Hock Island agent called up Secretary Oatlln yesterday saying the club had !heen on a Rock Island tram but that they had lost them somewhere. He wanted to know where the team had gone. A letter has been received by the Topeka Baseball BHSociation from Pres ident N. L. O'Neill which may cost a little litrht on the Den Moines deal. Th. mt-Mv savs there la no chance to Kt any more transferred games from the Iowa capital and that they will have to play out tue eeason at homo when they should be home. Tnat looks like the action of the Des Moines Com mercial club in petitioning that the territory be declared -vacant had some we'ght with the league head, "fther It srlves some crdence to the Des Moines allegation tnat the sale of that club was a phoney one and deigned to tool the people there Irto supporting mar gins' stock. No word has reached Topeka of the i.i r.t ty.a new infielder. Pete -.A .vi ivas taken on the trip by the Kaws. He has not appear ed in any grames to date but so far as krown is still with the club. The Des Moines Wanderers will be t home tcday. Will there be rejoic ing? Not likely, because they still see the shadow of HiKgins over there. The flub which has been g-oins fine on the hoard celebrated their final day out yes terday by Piling up soven,Ir3R1"5 vet grabbing the game from Sioux -1ty on their errors, retting 11 runs with eight hits. Des Moines News: Des Moines' baseball team is coming home. They 11 nrrive in Pes Moines next Wednesday morning shortly after midnight. "Wednesday afternoon they 11 play the first game with St. Joe at the East Side p-irk after five weeks of buffeting about the Western league with little prospects of having a home for the re mainder of the season. In spite of the worst beginning in the Western league and the unpleas ant ruuture that threatened to take baseball out of Des Moines for the big gest end of the season they have rounded into form and are playing baseball. Some of the pes', in the league. Fans Why not forgot the squab bling over the control of the club and turn your attention to the team itself for a few days. Give the men your support next Wednesday when they open with St. Joe. Tney have done their part and will continue to do it. Why break up their winning streak by throwing cold water on their efforts with non-support? Higgins has shown th right spirit by transferring the control of the club until the real sale is consummated. If the deal is not made in one week it Mill bo made before the season ia over. Des Moines didn't lose .ts franchise end it didn't even come close to losing It. A new owner is assured and also a downtown park. Such deals can not be closed in a day. Good attendance and ra Intimation that the Dps Moines fan have the in terests of the players and the success if the club at heart will encourage come new purchaser or a-;d fuel to the eld negotiations. Lincoln News: The Antelopes open et the home yard lor a three-game series with the Topeka Kaws. The To pekas have been doinf surprisingly well and are a vastly better ball club than when the season began. There Bre five or six new faces on the Kaw team and Lincoln fans aie anxious to look them over. Straight defeats fit the hands of the Bears have a rather depressing effec. on Lincoln's chances to climb to the top of the pile, but there are more than sixty ball games to be played before the curtain thuds in October and th.-re is still an Rhundance of time to lull Denver down. The Grizzlies have been going Bt a swift pace of late, .ut are fairly certain to develop a losing streak when they hit the road.

St. Joe, Sioux City and Omaha are strong er than a month ago and it is in the cards for the Eears to come tumbling down. Lincoln, Topeka and Des Moines also must be reckoned with when the Grizzlies are en tour. It is much too early to award pennants, a fact which the Bears may soon dis cover and decidedly to their sorrow. Commenting on the decision of Prexy O'Neill on the game between Lincoln and Omaha May 11 which was t.rfitest- ed by Lincoln, the IJncoln News says: Prexy Tip O'Neill has ruled on that protested Lincoln-Omaha gama, date of which was May 11. Tip's decree is that Lincoln gets the hinky-dink and Omaha the ball game. The chief ex ecutive of the league states, in ex planation. that he had a personal talk with Umpire Kneeland five days after the game in question and that his de cision is founded on the arbitrator's statement during that conversation. Ac cording to a communication from O'Neill, Kneeland related that "the Omaha catcher was rot in front of the plate, and that, to the best of his ability, the Lincoln runner was out." It is clear that the Lincoln club has been flim-flammed. The day after the protest was filed, the writer read a letter prepared by Umpire Kneeland for transmission to O'Neill. In that letter Kneeland made no pretense of denying that Agnew, the Omaha catch er, had stepped in front of the plate to receive the pitch as Paul Cobb was stealing home from third. The only qualification was that Agnew had one foot in front and the other on the base. This was In black and white, put there by Umpire Kneeland. The latter, seeking to cover and Justify his incompetency, stated In another para Kraph of the letter that Cockman, then at bnt. stepped back from the plate and that he (Kneeland) therefore ruled that there had been no interference on Agnew's rnrt with the hatter. Hun dreds of Lincoln fans saw the play in question and know beyond all shadow of doubt that Agnew Jumped in front of the plate, thereby violating the ex plicit rules of baseball. It is true that Cockman took a full step backward, but, probably fearinga eollission. he did It after Agnew bad Jumped in front of the plate to receive Lotz's pitch. Cock man, for that matter, could have Jump ed over the grandstand and the vio lation of the rules by Agnew would have been fully as glaring for the manifest reason that Cockman was given no opportunity to strike at Lotz's pitch Agnew was across the plate barring all chance for Cockman to hit the ball. The flim-flam is plain as day. St. Joseph News-Press: If somebody will please explain why it is, that Drummer pitchers, who were consist ent winners with other Western League clubs, can't win for the Hollanders, a big problem may be solved.

GATES, .WHO DIE ADVERTISING TALKS. (Continued from Page One.) The advertising also produced IMMEDIATE TELEGRAPHIC AND LETTER ORDERS FOR 493 CARS, the total of which (the car sells at $350) amounted to $172,550. bo the cost of this advertising based on the immediate results alone, was ONLY EIGHT PER CENT. But the greatest result is yet to come from the 3,265 people who want agencies for the car. It is estimated that they will sell from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY THOUSAND CARS, and it is practically certain that enough agencies will be established to take the ENTIRE OUTPUT of the Brush factory FOR THE YEAR. The sale of 15,000 cars to dealers would represent an ac tual business of $5,250,000.

Gates, the American financier, died at 6:10 this morning in the arms of his w ife and iiis son, Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. Others present at the bedside besides the members of the family were Drs. Gros and Reeves. He had battled for weeks heroically with a disease of the kidneys and when it was believed that he was almost sure to recover, contracted pneumonia. Tuesday night Mr. Gates suffered a general relapse and gradually sank un til death intervened. An official statement issued by Drs. Gros and Reeves says the immediate cause of death was heart failure, that the lungs stopped their functions and smothered the heart's action. The end was painless. Mr. Gates was practical ly unconscious. The death of John W. Gates removes in his prime one of the boldest and most successful American financiers and a picturesque figure in the field of sports. Since 1880, when he organized the Southern Wire company, Mr. Gates had been a man with whom it was necessary to reckon in the particular industrial affairs to which he had given his attention. In recent years he found relaxation from business cares in be coming a prominent patron of the American turf.

It has taken a naval board three months to discover the cause of an explosion in one of the gasoline tanks of the submarine Plunger at Charleston, S. C. April 3, last, which cost the life of Prince Brown, a labor er. The particular tank had been empty for 15 months, yet when Brown struck a match at the manhole an ex plosion followed which killed him. The board found that one of the valves leaked slightly, just enough in fact to permit gasoline vapor to enter the sup posedly empty tank. To avoid a repeti tion of such an accident the board rec ommends that when submarines are laid up the pipes connecting with ths tanks be filled with water. Honors Timby's Memory. Washington, Aug. 9.

"What would you do if you were go ing with a young man and were in love with him and he wasn't anxious to show his love for you? This young man is very nice, always treats me very courteously and tells the young men in town that he loves me. But I had my girl friend go with him to a show re cently and she asked him if he ever in tended to get married. He told her 'yes, some day when he got so old that he would have to feed himself with a spoon.' I quote the abovw letter because it describes a certain kind of cad which, I think, decidedly needs to be put into the pillory of public scorn. And that is the man who never wants to admit to one girl that he is in love with another. This creature with a disagreeable kind of cunning, evidently realizes what is, to a certain extent, true that the knowledge that he is in love with one woman will make him less interest ing to other members of the opposite sex. And so, whenever he goes among other women, he either keeps still about his love or openly belittles it as this one does. To one girl he cynically sings the praises of bachelorhood. To another he insists that there Is really nothing between him and th, lady in the case. Another he Hatters by comparing her favorably in some particular with the lrl he is supposed to regard as the pink of perfection. Sometimes he is cool to the girl he has won, but more often he is the most, ardent and admiring lover and she sometimes wonders, when she tells her girl friends how devoted he is, why they don't seem more impressed. What would I do if I had a man like that?" to return to the lady's Ques tion. I don't know. I hope I should be strong enough ti give him up and wait for a man more worth loving. But, I know things like that are easier to say "I would" about, than to do. Maybe I'd just keep on loving him and perhaps love him and idealize him nto decency. Here's honing that that's what von will succeed in doing, little girl. Of course. It s much harder to do that with petty little meannesses than real big sins. But "harder" doesn't mean impos sible. It couldn't mean that. For love knows no such word. New Yorker Shoots Daughter. New York, Aug. 9. John Brewi, a re tired business man. called late last night upon his daughter Adeline at the house where she was living, announced that he had "a little shooting to do" and emptied the contents of a .22 cali ber revolver into the girl's body. She fell, mortally wounded, and Brewi, pur sued by persons who heard the shots, reloaded the weapon and ended his own career with a bullet through the brain. Father and daughter had quarreled fre quently because of his objection to a young man whom she expected to marry. Marines Fought Forest Fire. Washington, Aug. 9. Perhaps for the first time in history American blue jackets have figured in fighting forest fires. The occasion was a conflagra tion which threatened the destruction of York Beach, Maine.. July 13. Boat swain's Mate J. J. McKenna, Ship Fit ter J. W Gressner, and Coxswain G. W. Pyle, attached to the cruiser Mon tana, happened to be at York Harbor and they took a leading part in fight ing the fire, thereby saving the town from destruction. Acting Secretary Winthrop has sent commendatory let ters to each of the men. Prince Henry Hits a Tree. Osnabrueck, Prussia, Aug. 9. Prince Henry of Prussia was in another automo bile accident today but escaped unharmed. He was returning from Holland when his car swerved from the roadway and crash ed into a tree near Kloppenburg, twenty miles southwest of Oldenburg. The prince's companion, Adjutant von Usedom, was slightly injured and the chauffeur's skull was fractured. Everybody reads the state Journal.

Tha finishing touches are being put on the L M. Penwell three story busi ness buildii g on Quincy street. Work is progressing rapidly in con nection with the J40.000 Sunday school addition to the First Methodist church. Principal A. J. Stout, of the high school, is boastii;g of having grown a tomato in his garden weighing 1 pounds. Doctors are saying that the efforts in the way of vaccinating have not proved effective in a large number of the cases. Representatives of the American Steel and Wire company of Chicago completed the steel fence at the fair grounds today. Col. F. S. Savage returned today from Oklahoma City, where he went to spread "salve." The colonel is an expert in this line. September will be a big month in Topeka. The state fair, the Semi-Cen-tennial, four circuses and the opening of all schools end colleges. A. E. Sweet, general manager of the Rock Island, has returned to Topeka after a few days in charge of the flood cleanup in northwestern Kansas. Art Griggs, the Topeka ball player, played his first game yesterday with Toledo in the American association, getting two hits in five times at bat. The Vinewood cars were crowded last night with people who were trying to find a cool place. They found it on the figure eight and circle swing where it is always cool. A Topeka man who made the auto trip from Atchison to Topeka said to day that the roads are good with the exception of a space of two miles on cither aide of Meriden. Swimming at the Y. W. C. A. is be coming the popular thing among the young ladies of Topeka. A number of the members of the strictly society set are indulging in cool plunges. Frank Asher, who is now in Regina, Canada, but who will return to Topeka within a short time, has an ox team which will probably be a feature of the Kansas S-mi-Centennial pageant. The people who live out in the "com muter" territory are laughing at the city people today. Without trees and buildings these commuters slept peace fully last right and other people swel tered. The arrangements committee of the Semicentennial held an enthusiastic meeting at the Commercial club this noon. It is about time some of the other committees were getting to gether. The Rock Island officials in Topeka have heard little of the proposed strike in the railroad shops all over the coun try. At least they say nothing has come to them in the form of an "un rest" at Horton. The lookout committee of the C. E. of the First Congregational church is arranging for an all afternoon and evening picnic at Garfield park. A couple, of hundred young people are expected to attend. Earl Chandler, a member of hose company No. 3 at fire department head quarters, killed the big turtle that measured three feet across the back and drank all the soup that he made after the exe"ution. If you don't believe Dave Leahy is old fashioned listen to this: Leahy says British newspapers are better from a news standpoint than American papers. To appreciate this you must see a British paper. A horse owned by H. B. Howard fell into an old cistern back of the store HAVE YOU Tried the New Bread Called "C. B. Bread" If not, try it today. You will find C. B. Bread the best you can buy in the city. It is baked right, from the best flour, and fresh every day. Do you like baked beans? If you do, we have the best baked beans you ever tasted. Also baked ham is another of our specialties. Our Pastry Line You will find complete in every detail, and we extend you an invitation to call and see our new store. We are open every every night till 9 p.m. THE COLONIAL BAKERY 930 Monroe Street Ind. Phone 1 703 4S This final clear ance begins Tomorrow on Kansas avenue, but was rascued before any serious injury was done the animal. The cistern had not been in use for twenty years. Every Sunday nowadays deputations representing the "Men and Religion" organization in Topeka go out to small towns in the vicinity of Topeka with the object of stirring up enthusi asm in the movement. On account of the move on the part of a certain faction in the school board to undo what the old board did at a special meeting in July it is probable that the meeting of the board next Monday evening will be of unusual in terest. Notwithstanding the delays in re spect to letting the contracts for erec tion of the additions to the Monroe and State Street schools it looks as though the work will be completed in plenty of time for the opsning day of school, September 12. "Let's make a great big fair now," said Secretary H. L. Cook this after noon. "What's the need in delaying the matter. The Kansas state fair at Topeka will be three years ahead of what is expected of it by the most optimistic booster of last year." Here are some of the organizations which will furnish floats for the Semi centennial celebration parade: G. A. R., Modern Woodmen of America. United Commercial Travelers-. Ancient Order of United Workmen, Norden Benefit association and Crosby Brother' Dry Goods company. All ex-Man-o'-Warsmen of Topeka and vicinity are requested to send their names and addresses to Mr. C. A. Pond, 1226 East Sixth avenue, as arrange ments are being made to have sailors march with the G. A. R. the day Taft is here. There are now twenty men who have their uniforms. An old stage coach which used to be in service on the Santa Fe trail will be in the Semi-Centennial pageant. This old time vehicle is owned by Hen ry Tisdale of Lawrence. The K. U. sorjrities in the rushing season have for years taken out "bunches" of jolly girls in this carry-all. An office boy of the Rock Island of fices has a big "red ball" freight tag tied to n:s suspenders. Instead of wandering from one office to another he carries out the purpose of the red ball and rushes frantically here and there. Not even the general manager is allowed to "lay him out." Merchants along Kansas avenue who have goods on display in show cases along the thoroughfare are now using arguments in favor of retaining the show cases. This is due to the fact that city commissioners have in an un official way declared them nuisances and have threatened to abolish them. There seems to be a good deal of confusion among the children of To peka as to when school will begin. The day set by the board of education is Tuesday, September 12. The reason for the differences of opinion is that there has been some talk of trying to in duce the board to put off the opening a week on account of the state fair. The boilers in the state heating plant are being raised one foot. New arches and new steam lines are being put in, also the pumping room is being lowered four feet. The large smoke stack which contains a great quantity of brick is going to be raised forty feet, with this addition the stack will be 126 feet high. Mr. Hill of Salina is doing the work. The invitations for the home coming event in connection with the Semi-Cen tennial celebration and state fair are now being sent out very rapidly by the Topeka people. They should send these "bids" at once to their friends if they have an ii.terest in making this fea ture a big thing. They are obtainable, gratis, at the Commercial club all ready to send out. The pavement on Tenth street be tween Kansas avenue and Jackson street is being repaired. There has been some pretty bad places on this street for some time and as the norfi side of the street is blocked on account of the placing of the material on the of Any Oxfords All children's Low Shoes reduced street for the Memorial building it makes it bad for those who have to drive along there. The first of the twelve huge signs of the Mills Dry Goods company was put up today just north of Three Bridges, where 38 trains pass daily. These signs which are being turned out by the Hlnkson company are, juxs reeu l-he word Topeka is prominent and the painting of tha Mills building occupies Vialf of tha sign and projects four feet abovs the top of the balance of the sign. Early applications for exhibit space, and constant inquiries for concessions at the state fair, September 11 to 15. is a splendid index as to the growing importance of the fair. More entries have been made and more space en gaged than last year at this date, and double the interest is taken from all over the state. This indication of a bigger and better fair is absolute, and requires no imaginative fostering to make it apparent. "The establishment of commercial courses in the higri school is but an additional etep in the progress of tha free high school," remy-ked Superin tendent C. C. Starr. "It takes time to develop a c .inplete system of commer cial education and the larger the school system the more complete will be the commercial training." Superintendent Starr expects to make this course in the local high school one of the most popular and useful in the institution. As a summer school the Kansas state fair will be a distinctively appro priate one for the Sunflower state. There will be much for the old and young to learn here, and in this dav of boys' corn contests there may be. many lessons learned by the older farmers from their Juniors. The edu cational features of the fair are of untold value. We are never too old to learn, and at the state fair enjoyment and entertainment is intermingle-i with our school hours. A thing of beauty and a '1oy for ever" is what the Kansas state fair management at Topeka have in mind all the time in the addition of the new improvements to the grounds. The impression one gets from a general survey of the fair grounds is a lasting one and the desire to make the im pression favorable has been so thor oughly instilled into the directorate that they are using all their endeavors to put the grounds in such shape that they may be enabled, as fast as funds are available, to make a harmonfoug and beautiful picture of the whole grounds from any viewpoint. MEIIARRY GIRLS GO HOME. Parents Refuse Consent to Their Marrying Italians. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 9. Nellie and Etta Meharry, aged 19 and 14 years, who eloped from Chanute, Kan., several weeks ago with two Italians and came to Kan sas City, returned to their home In Cha nute this morning. H. L. Randall, assist ant chief of police of Chanute, came hera yesterday to get the girls. Until last night. Nellie, who has reached the age when she is no longer compelled to abide by the wishes of her parents, said she would not go home. She haa been working as a servant in a South. Side home. Last night she went to the Detention House and said she was willing to go home. She stayed at the Detention Home with her sister last night. The parents of the girl say they will not give their consent to their daughters marrying Frank Collette and Frank Badelle, the Italians, which had been pro posed as a means of settling the difficulty in which the quartette found themselves when they were arrested. Those Carp Are Getting Old. Peoria, 111., Aug. 9. Twenty-two years ago the first shipment of German, carp was brought to this state by an agent of the United States fish com mission and a few were liberated near here. Yesterday a carp, bearing the United States custom import stamp, showing that it was one of the original shipment, was causht in the Illinois river. iff

The State Journal Is a member of the Associated Press and receive the full day telegraph report ot that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news la received In The State Jour nal building over wtree lor this sole pur pose. j HOME NEWS WHILE AWAY. Subscriber of the State Journal away from home during the summer tnay have the paper mailed regularly esrh day to any address at the rate of ten cents a week or thirty cent a month (by mall only). Address changed as often as drwlred. While oct of town the State Journal will be to on like a dally letter from home. Advance payment Is requested on these short time snbscrlptlons, to save bookkeeping expenses. Lightning also tseems to fall alike on the just and the unjust. It damaged at Topeka church considerably the oili er night. Missouri seems to be afflicted with even more despicable characters than tlog-polsoners. At Concord in that ptate poisoned chewing Rum was placed in the dooryards of families with email children. Upton S;nclair seems to be working Ithe blue laws of Delaware to a frazzlo (for the purpose of keeping In the lime light once again. Presumably Upton Bias another novel that he is about to foist on a long-suffering public. Cincinnati Leconte is the new pres ident of Haiti. His term of office will continue until some HallUn general can muster up a sufneint forco to take the place away from him They use bullets for ballots in that peculiar re public. Some progress has been made at Hur.newell, at any rate, since a mayor ess has been ruling there. She and her unfriendly councilmen got togeth er the other night and ordered the payment of the bill for the repair of the town pump. i Charles M. Schwab may well be pardoned for being proud of the fact that the Idea of organizing the United States Steel corporation originated in bis fertile brain. It certainly 1a a wonderful concern for the people who own and control it. After the dry spell in Kansas came pome floods. This is more evidence. If any were needed, that it never rains but it pours. Still it will take more than a dry spell followed by Hoods to tiuell the enthusiasm and optimism of the Kansas farmers. Isn't there some judge In Brooklyn, CN. Y.. who is sufficiently courageous to Ifollow the example of his brother judge in Des Moines and stop the Brooklyn (street car 5trike in the new and most effective way. Probably no". They're (particularly stamlpat on the eld law in the far eastern sta'es. New Jersey has a regulation similar to the one in Kansas prohibiting the tise of the common drinking cup. But INew Jrrsey is having trouble enforc ing this law. This calls attention to the fact that there Is little It any trouble In Kansas of enforcing any old kind of a law If the public auth orities are so disposed. Although conditions could not have been better for a large melon crop this year. It is reported that there will be a big shortage In the local water melon crop because of the ravages to the vines by sand lice. Surely if It Isn't one thing it's another that man ages to happen around so as to take a swat at the poor, old consumer's pocketbook. That Kansas Semi-Centennial parade of floats which Is to o-ur in Topeka during the state fair we-k will be some thing worth looking at. Five pretty girls from each cf many of the Kan sas cities are going to adorn floats sig nificant of their home towns. And when it comes to pretty girls, Kansas Is even more distinguished than it is for Its wheat .nnd corn. With 750 automobiles In Topeka, this means one motor car to 66 in habitants. It is likely that each of the automobiles caters to the en joyment of the average family of five. So this means that each Topekan in It gets a frequent automobile ride. And as most of the automobile own ers are pretty generous in taking their friends out occasionally, even this small ratio la reduced consider ably. It is beginning to look as though the tax levy for Topekaii3 for all pur poses, state, county, school and city, will be 16.45 mills for the ensuing fis cal year. This is nearly 114 mills larger than the levy last year, but It is also a much smaller levy than prevails In many, many cities of the country of equal size with Topeka and which do not come near getting the returns from their taxes that Topeka does. AX INSULT TO KANSAS. It's little else than an insult to the Republican voters of the Second Kan sas congressional district that action of their congressional committee which proposes to deny them the right 1 of a primary for nominations a can didate for the seat in the housa of representatives made vacant by the death of Alexander Mitchell. Further more, It is an insult to me rciiuuiuuii of the whole state of Kansas, one uf the pioneers in the movement to pro vide a fair and honest means of nom inating candidates for all of the public offices. The right of the committee to take the action that it has Is to be tested in the courts. And there may be a legal link which will sustain the action of the committee because the coming congressional election in the Second district is a special occasion. Still the law that applies to nominat ing primaries for regular congressional elections ought to apply just as forci bly to a special election of this sort, even if the law does not specifically so state. For several years now primaries for the selection of candidates for every public elective office have been the order of the day in Kansas. This sys tem is one of the political reforms of the present era that has been decided ly worth while. And nothing hut smiles of derision are due to any po litical committee, that happens to be packed in the interest of a certain candidate, which has the temerity to nullify such a settled political prin ciple. Of the four candidates for this nomination, three of them, Brady of Douglas county, Keene of Bourbon county, and Scott of Allen county have expressed themselves in favor of a primary. Guyer of Wyandotte county is willing to trust his chances to the congressional committee, the old way that nominations were made for spe cial elections when the political "ma chines" were in their heyday. Guyer has been classed among the ultra-insurgent Republicans in Kansas. The congressional committee for the Sec ond district is controlled by a major ity of the same brand of Republicans. This makes it all the f.iore remark able that the committee should have the effrontery to return to archaic methods. Not so man days ago Guyer delivered himself of a some what facetious effusion to the effect that it was not necessary for him to wear a label telling what kind of a Republican he was. He did say, how ever, that he was proud to stand on the same kind of a progressive plat form on which Alex. Mitchell made his successful race. Alex. Mitchell's body would turn over in the grave If it could learn of the fact that his Re publican friends of other days were going to deny the voters of the Second district their right to nominate his successor through the medium of a primary. THE KANSAS WHEAT CROP. Kansas has the unusual distinction this year of producing a winter wheat crop that aggregates only 51,000,000 bushels. That is the figure which has been given out by Mr. Coburn, secre tary of the Kansas department of agri culture. It can therefore be taken as being approximately correct. It doesn't show up very well, to be sure. with some of the Kansas wheat crops of the past. But it is not a small or j invaluable crop as it might appear at first glance in comparison with the 1 crops of other years. I Wheat Is now quoted in the grain markets as selling around 90 cents a bushel for August delivery and from that up to $1.02 per bushel for May delivery. Suppose the Kansas farm ers average 75 cents a bushel, an un doubted minimum figure, for their wheat. Figuring the total yield at 50,000,000 bushels this means that the Kansas farmers will receive for their wheat this year a gross return of $37,500,000. It is fair to estimate that one-half of this sum will be clear profit to the farmers. This means that $18,750,000 in new wealth has been produced for the farmers of Kan sas by their wheat crop of 1911, the smallest wheat crop that has been raised in Kansas In years. Is that an inconsiderable net gain? Well, hardly. But even this small aggregate wheat yield compared with other years is not without its gratifying features. The quality of the yield is remarkable. In many instances the yield per acre is double what it has been in other years. In some instances the acreage yield has been trebled over the average acre yield that has prevailed In Kansas for a long time. This means that the Kansas farmers are fast learning how to grow two and three heads of wheat where they used to be satisfied with one. And when another good climatic season for the growing of winter wheat hits Kansas and by all the rules of the game it is due next year the wheat crop of the state will as sume such tremendous proportions that the eyes of the rest of the world will marvel. AS TO MEDICAL EDUCATION. The wave of reform In medical edu cation moves steadily on. and of much significance is the part which state universities are taking in this reform, says the Journal of the American Medical association. Slowly but sure ly colleges organized and conducted on the stock corporation basis are either obtaining connection with pri vately endowed universities or are giving way to the state supported uni versity medical school. In the latter instance, the medical school is con ducted as an integral part of the state's educational system. The lat est instance is in Arkansas, where two independent medical schools, the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the University of Arkansas Med ical Department, both of Little Rock, have been united. The achool formed by this consolidation is to be con trolled and financed by the University of Arkansas. This is but a repetition of what has already taken place in Indiana. Minnesota, Colorado, and other states, where only one medical school remains in each instance, that being the medical department of the state university. In several other states, generous appropriations have been made for state university med ical school. This larger state sup port of medical education haa an other significance, however. It means that elnce the state is endeav oring to provide a good training for medical students it will not tolerate the turning out of poorly trained doc tors by low-gTade Institutions. In fact, the inferior medical colleges even now are reading the handwriting on the wall. This accounts for the opposition, direct or indirect, which they are making toward state endow ments for medical education in Ne braska, Illinois and elsewhere. This opposition, however, will not be mis understood and the progress for bet ter standards of medical education has received too much Impetus to be stopped by obstructions prompted by selfish interests. It is not only the right, but also the duty, of each state to provide a good training for those who are to have in charge the health of the people of that commonwealth as is the case in nearly all other countries. JOVRNAL ENTRIES Too many people expect altogether too much for the bait they use. It's also a fact that any number of men work very hard without attaining much in the way of results. Most folk, returning from their va cations, actually could use a few days to good advantage in resting up. If the average woman had her way in building a house, most of it would be taken up with closets for clothes. Presumably the weather man cuts up as he does because he discovered long ago that it was '-impossible to please everybody. JA YHA WKER JOTS Another unfortunate fact about a dead beat, says the Manlato Advocate, is that too often he raises a family of dead beats. Attention is called b the Holton Signal to the fact that "however con scientious the milk man is, the price of milk always advances -n dry weath er when water is scarce." It has been discovered that frogs and toads are the greatest fly eaters in the world, notes the Sabetha Star, and it adds: In addition to their daily work the frogs do not object to giving night ly concerts. A western society is carrying on a campaign to substitute apple blossoms for orange blossoms as bridal flowers, reports the society editoi of the Hol ton Signal and she remarks: Some married men are mean enough to pro pose lemon blossoms. "Mary and Lizzy," the Cedar Point correspondent of the Florence Bul letin, hands this one to the Peabody fishermen: A bunch of Peabody fish ermen were up fishing at the dam Tuesday. What would the fish do if it wasn't for the Peabody fishermen? Why, they wouold starve to death. A little philosophy from the Belle ville Telescope: The character of a town has its influence upon the char acter of the boys who trow up in it; but no town was ever Si tough that a boy could not grow up straight and clean if he wanted to; end no town was ever so good that a boy couldn't go to the devil in; if he was bound to head that way.

It is considerably undersize, flattened on one side, with numerous lines in the shell and presenting different shades of color. This year seems to outclass all previous years in the production of freak eggs and some scientists of more or less renown claim that the peculiar gyrations of the elements this season are responsible.

Few of us ever bury the hatchet without marking the spot. Many a man's good luck consists principally of not being found out. The sweetest music to many a man, comes when he blows his own horn. Some people are terribly disappointed if their worst suspicions don't com true. Tou can hurt some people more by laughing at them than by shooting at them.

I RAUSAS C0miEIfT TAKING THE RISK. There was a man at Nortonville who was given to the flowing bowl at irregular intervals. When sober he was a decent, agreeable fellow, with out much stamina or force of charac ter, and when he was saturated with fus-il oil he was a fool, and an annoy ance to the entire community. Finally fce fell In love with a desir able damsel, and she looked kindly upon him. He made his vows that he was done with the booze. Never again would he commune with Hon. John Barleycorn. There was but one per son in Nortonville who had faith In his vows, and that waa the girl. Every body else knew he had made similar vows a dozen times before, and had broken them the first time he encoun tered a long cold bottle. But the girl had perfect faith in him. What was the difference if he had broken his pledges in the past? He was in earn est now. Moreover, all he needed was some one to love him, and then all temptations would be removed. So she married him a few weeks ago and the other day he went home witii a skate on and Immediately begin to punch her head, and then he packed up his collection of tobacco t:igs and left the town. It is a scrdid little story, and doesn't amount to anything; but no many sor did little stories of the same kind turn up in the newspapers every day that, taken all together, they have a mean ing of their own, which meanit.g should be vxluable to the girl who has the idea that she caa reform some no account yung man hy marrying him. Emporia Gazette. A WAR OF GREED. Notwithstanding the efforts of the nations, in which the United States has taken the Initiative, to establish a condition by which war shall be elim inated and national disputes settled en tirely by peaceful arbitration, the war clouds are frowning ominously in Eur ope and peace is hanging by a thread, at the will of an imperial personage who holds in his hand the destiny of millions of humans who stand ready to do his bidding. The greed for territorial acquisition Is at the bottom of the trouble and it demonstrates how easily the peace of the world can be broken when selfish designs actuate the purpose of a na tion. To estimate the cost in life and prop erty of such a war as may be precipi tated bv this selfish mo'ive, is hard ly possible. The territo.'v in question would certainly be no adequate com pensation from a monetary or ma terial view and the untold suffering that would be engendered is beyond the comprehension of mortal man. Its termination would in all proba bility change the map of Europe, and possibly might involve the world in conflict with consequences 30 appall ing that it scares the mind in its very contemplation. Whatever may be the result of the present trouble, the fa"t that greed is at the bottom of the difficulty speaks poorly for the influence's that Chris tian nations are supposed to exert on the destinies of the world. Clay Cen ter Republican. FROM OTHER PENS THE ANGLO-SAXON IDEA. In his England and the English, Price Collier refers to the old Anglo- Saxon ideas of government, still pre vailing in England, of choosing their chief and ablest men to govern them, which was the basic doctrine of repre sentative government, and then says: No American wishes to see that so lution of government, of all by the best, chosen in open and free competi tion fail." It seems that the author was 111 ad vised, for there are many who desire to see it fail, which is the meaning of the referendum movement; that is resorted to because the people, having failed in electing their chief and ablest men, find that they themselves must attend to those duties' which their agents refuse to perform. That is to say, having failed to choose good and responsible men. they undertake themselves to enact good and sensible laws; for if they elected able and reliable men there would be no need for them to enact laws. They trusted themselves in choosing representatives, but not in ac complishing legislation. That was the Anglo-Saxon style out of which this republic grew. Ohio Stste Journal. ROCKEFELLER'S TRIBUTE TO WIFE. According to his own recent state ments, the venerable autocrat of Standard Oil is "not so much." For he attributes all the financial success he has attained to the shrewdness and ability of his wife. The world has heard but little, very little, of Mrs. Rockefeller. At last the old man Introduces her to pub lic attention. She, according to his as sertions, has been the brains of the family. She has planned and en gineered the deals which have given her husband unlimited power in the world of finance. This acknowledgment comes rather late. On the face of his statement, his stand in the matter would seem to be a rather kindly and deserved pub lic recognition of and tribute to his helpmate. And, for her sake, let it be hoped he is not actuated by desire or willingness to evade any of the re sponsibility for his reputation as a trust magnate and typical grabber of the millions which should have been shared with less scrupulous and more deserving morals. Chicago Journal. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Can a man love a woman he's afraid of? Without enthusiasm but little would be accomplished. Be foolish tomorrow, if you will, but be wise today. All men are ambitious. Some are ambitious to live without work. When money is tight it prevents a lot of men from becoming so. Even marriage sometimes turns cut to be an agreeable disappointment. If a man has a reputation for being a bad egg don't try to beat him. Everybody will be happy and con tent when sheep begin to grow feath ers. The janitor is supposed to clean out the bank, but sometimes the cashier does it. And a woman with her dress button ed down the back reminds us of a kid in sheep's clothing. At this stage of the game ice is about the only thing that is really what it is cracked up to be. When a woman says. "There's no use talking." she means that you might as well shut up and give her a eh a oca. TENTING. Tonight I'm alone in the open, where the winds of heaven race. With the noiseless patter of starshine to soften my upturned face; And I lie by my tent recumbent, with my tired arms flung wide. With God just back of the curtain where His constellations ride. Oh, sweet is the low, green valley, and fcweet is the mountain high; And doubly sweet is the silence which folds me as I He! And sweetest of all the murmur of a softly flowing stream. Which lulls my brain to slumber and gives a restful dream. On the Earth's kind breast I've laid me, and I feel her tender heart Athrob with the love she bears me (we have lived so long apart), I can feel the dew kiss holy which nature gives her child Forgiving him, though wayward, and blessing him, defiled. A breeze cornea down the valley from the foot of the mountain range And rustles the grass beside me In whis pering music strange. I sense an insect stirring, and I hear a night bird's call; And then through drowsy eyelids I see the moon's gold ball. I was worn with barter and traffic, I lived in a town afar; So I left it all behind me and followed the evening star. As of old the wise men found Him in the manger at Bethlehem, So I know the Lord is near me I can see his diadem! Edwin Carlisle Litsey, in Ave Maria. THE EVENING STORY Nevada Belle. (By Izola Forrester.) "I'd like to know where you Intend to put him. that's all?" Dolores stood on a chair to dust the grill work be tween the two front rooms of the tiny apartment, and her tone was far from being philosophical. On the floor by the piano sat Gretchen in a gingham apron that nearly left her in total eclipse, and industriously attacked the mahogany with a damp chamois. "When one has an uncle who is a real live senator, one does not think of such trifles. He has telegraphed his most gracious intention of visiting us. Therefore, we must dust and pol ish against the coming of the prince." "How old is he, Gret?" "I haven't the least idea," said the polishing lady, cheerfully. "He went out west, or down to Texas, or some such place when I was about as high as this piano stool, and he made his pile, as they say, and got woefully rich. I don't think he dug it out of the ground. It isn't a bit like our family to do that. More likely he in vested in town lots and then boomed the town, and made it the county seat, and got all the franchises that were budding. The main point is that he is very wealthy, and has suddenly felt a heart throb, and a call back home." "And to you." "That's only because there isn't any home spot for him to touch excepting where I live." Gretchen rubbed vigor ously, and her voice sounded muffled. "We're all dead in our family, 'cept in' Uncle Al and my own sweet self." "Does he know that you sing?" "He doesn't know a thing except the number on the lower hall door, dear. He doesn't know that this ar tistic abode is all yours, and that you're my. only friend in the world, and that I've been most horribly sick, and that you found me in a measly hall bedroom why is it that lone damsels who are sick always are dis covered in hall bedrooms and drag ged me here by sheer force, and have taken care of me till I got my grip back." She stopped, not from inclination, but because the feather duster was jammed forcibly in her face. "We won't say any more about that." Dolores laughed. "We will en tertain our senator uncle. Poor old boy. Would he mind the davenport much, Gret? It isn't so bad if you double up on it a little, kind of Invert yourself, you know. How tall is he?" Gretchen disregarded the query. The electric bell was buzzing, and she hur ried to the door. "Telegram from uncle," she called back. "Wait for the answer a minute, boy." Together the girls read the slip of yellow paper. Briefly it stated the ar rival of the senator, but that he had been detained by a business engage ment, and would be late. "No answer, boy," Gretchen called, then suddenly, she saw the expression on Dolores' face, as she stood holding the telegram in her hand. "Why, what is it, dear?" Dolores pointed one finger aecus- ingly at the name signed to the mes sage, Allan Esterbrook. "Why didn't you tell me his name before? I can't stay here, Gret. dear." Already she began taking off her apron and kimono. Her face was pale, and her eyes had filled with tears. "Don't ask me, please, please. He doesn't know that I am here, so it won't make any difference. Just say it is all yours, the apartment, the fur niture, everything, and I'll run down to my aunt's until he has gone. Oh, Gret, you darling, I knew there was some reason why I liked you best of all the girls at the Art League." Mystified, and very quiet, Gretchen waited, after her chum had gone. She had always admired Dolores Sayres at the league, admired her clean cut, clever draughtsmanship, and sense for the right form and line. She knew too, that she was well supplied with money. Lots of the girls were. Do lores had seemed perhaps a shade more dignified and reserved than the rest, but not to her. Why should she suddenly run In a panic at the sight of that name? A little past nine o'clock the senator arrived. Even Dolores would have approved of him, Gretchen felt sure. He was tall, and youthful looking, In spite of his dark hair just tipped with silver. "So this is your girl bachelor quar ters, is it?" he said after he had kiss ed his niece, and exchanged greet ings. "I did not know you were so well situated. Art Is not so bad, after all." Gretchen smiled, but shook her head. Then her old sense of fairness got the better of her discretion, and she told her side of art life, even down to the hall bedroom, with the wolf growling in at the keyhole, as she put it. Someway, It seemed easy to tell it all, now, sitting on the low tabourette, with the senator listening in silence. "We'll change it all now, girlie," he said when she had finished. "Life has not played a very fair or gentle game with me. I've lost the dearest gift it gave me. the girl I loved." "How did you lose her, U'ncle Al?" asked Gretchen suddenly. "A telegram came for me while we were on our honeymoon. It simply read like this, "Belle will join you at Portland.' "Who was Belle?" "Ah, that is the tueion we divided on." smiled the sena r. "Dolores "Dolores?" exclaimed Gretchen, flushing happily, clasping: her hands. "I thought so. Go on, quick. Uncle Al." "She would not listen to explana tions, and I resented her unreasoning jealousy, and assumption that Belle was an old sweetheart, or anyone had not told her nf So we separated. after one month of married life, and I have never even heard from her since." Gretchen rose from the tabourette. and started towards the telephone. At the bookcase she stopped, and lifted from it a portrait of Dolores, and had her reward at the look that swept over Eteterbrook's face when he saw it. "Where is she?" he asked, tensely, but Gretchen rang up. and called a number without replying. "Is that Mrs. Devereux's? Oh thank you. May I speak to Dolores, please, Mrs. Devereux! It's very important." She turned with a happy smne, xuu of mischief, and handed him the re ceiver. "There she is," she whisperea, Now tell her who Belle was, and go and find her." So the message went over the wire to Dolores, standing like a statue at the other end, her face paled as she heard the dear tones again of the man she loved, and had doubted. Listen, dear." he said. "Gretcnen told me of you, and the picture did the rest. I am calling now to get you. Er wait. Belle is still with me. Her full name is Nevada tseue and she is the best riding horse I ever had. Do you understand, dear? I'll be at the Square in ten minutes. He hune uo the receiver, and turn ed to Gretchen, as she stood wide eyed, and laughing. I am going down to bring ner home, and you had better make ar rangements to go west with us next week, girlie. Art is long, you know. and life is short, and love is mighty sweet. You may find the right one waiting for you right down there in our Texas land.' Gretchen laughed, as she handed him his hat and cane. "If I do, I won't let myself show jealousy on the honeymoon. Uncle Al. Not till I'm sure it isn't a horse or dog, or a gold mine." (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) Language of Great Danes. Has a Great Dane dog, owned by a German, anv right to bite an Irish man? This "is a question upon which Supreme Court Justice Ford has re served decision. There are side lights to the main question, but they are like froth upon the glass of Pilsener that the plaintiff was drinking at the time, a part of the case, but irrelevant to the main fact. The man who was bitten Is Peter H. Heagan. For assault by the Great Dane he has sued for $5,000, which he asks Jacob Berger to pay. Heagan and Berger differ politically. Whether they vote the same way on election day makes not the slightest difference. Mr. Berger keeps a saloon, termed by Mr. Heagan a gin mill, where beer Is drawn from the wood. Berger draws it and Heagan pays for what he gets. It was while Heagan was sipping a glass of beer that the argument over politics became co hot that Berger decided to sacrifice finance to sentiment and or dered his customer out of the place. No man who has just paid for a glass of lager likes a saloonkeeper, who a min ute before has asked what he will have, to be told to drink it and get out. And, besides. If a sloon is not a place to drink beer and talk politics, what is U for? With a self-assertiveness that left no doubt of his manliness and his opinion of Berger, Heagan said he would re main. Then it was, Heagan explained to the court, that he was double-crossed by Berger. Berger ceased addressing him in English and spoke rapidly in German. The dog, that had been catching flies and keeping persons with no visible means of support away from the free lunch, gave a bound toward Heagan. It is for the action of the dog that Heagan sues. He declared in court that he knew the dog understood two languages, German and English, and thought also, because of his nationality, he spoke Danish, or understood it, although he would not swear he ever heard the dog spoken to In Danish. Berger insisted that he did not ad dress the dog in German and command him to make a meal off Heagan. He says while he spoke about something in German, the dog seized Heagan by the trousers and escorted him to the door. The animal, he insisted, had heard Heagan refuse to leave the place and could not stand for the attitude he as sumed in refusing to do it. It was his opinion that Heagan had made some remarks about the dog's nationality which the animal, being sensitive, and having few relatives in the country, re sented. The dog was not called as a witness, although the court interpreter was there in case he was called to see whether in his few years in this coun try the dog had picked up any other languages than those that Heagan was certain he understood. New York American. The Titles of Books. Thackeray got the best possible title for one of the best novels in the world when he Jumped cut of bed at Brighton with the inspiration of "Van ity Fair." But one wenders what would have happened to the story had It appeared under the title, "Pencil Sketches of English Society." which was the best he could think when "up and about." That is pohslbly the least appealing of titles until we remem ber another, and wonder still more whether the title has anything to do with the book's grip of the reader. The other is "Pickwick." At this distance in time "Vanity Fair" and "Pickwick" seem contem poraneous. Thackeray got the right title, and Dickens the wrong one. "The Posthumous Papers of the Pick wick club!" A most deadly title, one would think. But it mattered not a bit. The readers have made the small correction, with the help of the pub lishers. On the back of two of my favorite copies is "The Pickwick Pa pers." And wherever men talk (wom en don't care about him) the book is simply "Pickwick." The title seems to have had nothing to do with the suc cess of either Dickens or Thackeray, for to the good book the readers will give the title. London Chronicle. UEILECTTONS OF A BACHELOR.

Confidence fails oftener than any other crop. Contradiction isn't proof, as pome people imagine. Do you pick your friends, or mere ly pick at them? Being pretty helps a woman, but it is a joke on a man. A boy is as proud of his "muscle" as a girl is of her looks. Women talk about the men. and the men talk about themselves. Conversation, like interviews. so often appears in monologue form. Ever notice that the littlest man usually carries the largest suit case? A girl will use a new tooth brush pretty persistently for a while, but a boy won't. While a man may be piggish in some particulars, he doesn't want two girls at one time.

I Owen Doyle, commissioner of labor, comes to the rescue of the mine work ers of Cherokee county in connection with the prohibition question in a. signed statement, part of which Is as follows: It is quite true the foreign element believes in taking a drink when they feel like it, and they never spend nights In saloons, never lose a day s work as a result of drink but quite to the con trary they are the steadiest workers we have in the coal mining district. Where they go their wives and children go with them, and as a result of this there is no domestic trouble of any kind, and seldom a divorce among them. Can this be said of some casts of people who proudly boast that the foreigner is inferior and should be de ported? I am convinced that the statements which I have referred to above are not based on facts after a careful, fair and thoughtful investigation, but upon a superficial knowledge of a few clays spent in the district among the drink ins people, and not in the residence dis trict where the good people reside. If these men who seem to defame and de stroy these working people's standing in the st?te will go with me into th- districts. I will take them, not around the places where liquor may be obtain ed and where the extreme bad cases are to be found, but I will take them into foreigners' and other working men's homes and show them the finest condition! that tan exist around a home. I will ho tiiem well furnished homes, and in the average families from five to seven rosy faced and healthy children. Can this be said of the average family of ail other classes of people in our state. j The foreign element are also anxious to learn the American customs and send their children to the public schou s in order that they may become familiar with the English language, customs and Institutions. It is quite true that this class of peo ple hav? their quota of reckless and daring characters, but it must be con ceded that other classes of people, bar ring none, are represented in this man ner, also. In all honor and Justice is It right, is It fair, or is it manly to represent all these people on the basis of what these few violators of the pro hibition law do? I am prepared at any time to go with anyone Into these counties and make a thorouah investigation over the entire counties, and I feet that after this inv-stigation Is made there will be no longer room for slandering and stigmatizing the people of Chero kee and Crawford counties as a whole. I will aiso prove to their satisfaction that there are no facts existing by which they can honorably, Justly- and lawfully deny or deprive the people of the coal mining districts of the school of mines- which was authorized by the legislature. if this law, its purpose ani intent can be suspended and set aside as null and void at the whim and caprice of a few parties who hold a dttie power, given to them by the legislature, then ii;y other law pass-t-d by ti e Ian making body of this tate can likewise be suspended, set aside and rendered null and void and obso lete. S'.aterrenls have also been made In the past to the effect that the foreign element that come to this country were of the lower cla-sses of Europe, arid not the better classes. This impression has gone out through the malicious statements that have been made along these line3. It is quite strange if this he true, that these foreigners change their mode of life. become thrifty, and never wilfully violate any of our laws. I The facts in the case are quite the re verse. The lower classes of Kuropo Are 1 without ambition, and never able to I accumulate sufficient funds to bling I them to this country. It is the better j class that come here willing to brave i the hardships of a strange land in or- j der to do better. These people, be I cause of their inability to speak, read and write the English language, can not understand why they are treated in this manner, and look upon these officers with terror and awe They cannot understand why a pefeot strai.ser to them should come into their homes and walk through rhei private apurtm-nts without r-.emony or explanation. The constitution of the United States guarantees a man against invasion of his home or searches and seizures without due process of the lav;. I want to Inform the good people of this state that Cherokee county with its vast mineral resources such ns c lead and line, has c jntributed in a larger degree to the material wealth of this ttate than any other county in the state. Another significant feature of the while thing lies in the fact that all of the officers htat have been sus pended or charged with dereliction of dutv are Cherokee county officer" and none from Crawford county. There is m difference so far as the prohibi tion violations are concerned 111 th.-e counties, because the; are Composed cf the same element and character of pe Tie. ana tne mining camps a:e equally civided as between the two counties. I hve, uiti". now. refrained from making any statement along these lines and am not seeking newspaper notoriety, but when I became con vinced that these people were being grossly jni-repreentei, I felt it my duty to s.t least make a protest. OWEN DOYLE. Commissioner of Labor. INSULTED AMERICAN FLAG. Canadian Yankee Hater Burned One in the Strct. Buffalo. N. T Aug. 9. A dispatch from London. Ontario, nays: "Thomas Midgeley, who prides him self in the title "Yankee Hater.' last night publicly burned the Stars and Stripes In the street of the town of Woodstock. A few hours before lome one in a spirit of mischief had nail-d I an American flag above the door of i his shop. When Midgeley saw the I flag he called his neighbors around him and walking to the middle of the street, lighted a fire and burned the flag. Then he scattered the ashes about the street 'that the horses might trample them under their feet.' "His action was applauded by a large crowd. A local newspaper, which is strongly opposed to reciproc ity, refers to Midgeley as a man "whose heart rings true with loyalty and patriotism." "American residents will bring the incident to the attention of the con sular authorities with the object of obtaining an apology from Midgeley. Had Passed Century Mark. Leavenworth, Kan.. Aug. 9.

STATE DEPARTSfENT HOPEfTL Believed Public Sentiment Will Up hold General Arbitration Pacts. Washington, Aug. 9. Although the state department has by no means abandoned hope that the pending gen eral arbitration treaties wlil be ap proved by the senate befo- the expira tion of the present session of congress, the officials are contemplating with equanimity the possibility of its failure to do so. This attitude .s explained by the fact that, having scored a point in getting the treaties pubhhed. the offi cials feel confident that the- are cer tain to grow in public lavor as they are analyzed in the period of time be fore the next session of congress. Another factor that i expected to make strongly in favor of the ratifi cation of the treaties is the approach ing meeting of the waterways com mission, the creation of which practi cally biased the way for the negotia tions of the arbitration treaties. Origi nally planned to Fettle some long standing issues between the United States and Canada, regarding water boundaries, the functions of this com mission were so greatly extended by Secretary Root as to constitute it in fact a permanent arbitration board with almost unlimited power to ad just disputes between t.-.o two coun tries. This commission will meet about September 1 in Washine'cn and it Is expected that it will have progressed so far in its work by tie date of assemble- of the next session as to afford a strikine and convincing demonstra tion of the practicability of the peace iful and satisfactory adjustment of in ternational disputes by the commission plan.

HE UPHOLDS THE NEGRO President Brown Lets Southern Ath letes Withdraw from Tournament. Chicago, Aug. 9. The color line in athletics has been drawn by Harry ttzpatrick. president of the Southern Association of the A. A. U. After learning that the entry f F. L.

"Holmes telephoned Martin Delafy on the night the entries closed that he had mailed his blank, but It did not reach the club in time for us to send It to New York with the other entries for approval. In my mind there is no question as to the valid itv of the entry', and I shall do my best to allow him to compete." EVERYTHING LOVELY NOW. President and Philander C. Are Just as Thick ss Cnn Be. Washington. Aug. 9. Since the passage of the Canadian reeiprocitv bill and the general arbitration trea ties with Great Britain and" France. President Taft and Secretary of Sta'-i Knox have been drawing more closelv together than ever before. Both the president and Mr. Knox were deeply concerned in the passage nf reciproc ity throueh congress and the negotia tions of the treaties with the two for eign powers. The president gave much of credit for reciprocity to his secretary r.f state and Mr. Knox gave much of the credit for the peace treaties to the president. In the last week or tw- they have been much together and almost any afternoon when the presi dent is not too busy he calls at the state department, takes Mr. Knox in his automobile and with Major A. W. Butt, the three play a "threesome" over the Chevy Chase golf links. There is a noticeable difference in the siz of the two men. but not much in their eame of golf and honors so far are about even.

The troubles of Mrs. Ella Wilson, me iiwor ui xiumittw en, uav oeeu i appealed to tne state Department tor the 'steenth time, and Governor Stubbe haa promised to "investigate" the matter with a view to ousting the Hunnewell councllmen for lese ma jeste. The attorney general, soma months ago, promised Mrs. Wilson state aid in the event the councilmen continued to harass the mayoress. As to Just what the state can do In this local matter Is a question. The coun cilmen have not violated any law. nor have they been derelict in the en forcement of law or consorted with the enemies of their country. The charge of treason could hardly be lodged against them. They have sim ply refused to work in harmony with the mayoress. She has one idea about city affairs and her councllmen an other. This is a country of Ideas. Out of discussion Is born light- In the meantime the governor will "inves tigate" the matter. But an investi gation is not a determination to oust the councllmen. as reported yester day by zealous correspondent. In fact, it is believed that the governor can do nothing in the matter. But he had to make some reply to the ap peals of the mayoress. Speaking of reports lately about state officials, there is the statement sent out broadcast that W. J. V. Deacon, of the state board of health wanted all the cats shaved in order to prevent them from carrying infection. The fact Is, Mr. Deacon hates a cat. and would rather have them killed than shaved. He never heard of the "shaving" idea until he read it in the papers. Deacon feels that he is mis represented in this matter of the cats and the safety razor. Again, there was the story, sent clear to Chicago, that the railroads were going to meet today to an nounce their plans for securing wheat for the farmers of northwest Kansas. The fact is the railroad representa tives met in Topeka today- merely to discuss the matter and to agree to haul seed wheat free to the drouth counties. The matter of securing the seed wheat will still be a problem un til settled by the counties themselves, or by Individuals, or by the legisla ture. The day of the "fake" correspon dent has returned to the land and the papers outside of Topeka are his dupes. FEEDER RATES HELD UP. I. C. C. Put 8 Check on an Advance by i lie Hailrci.'uN. Washington. Aug. 9. Freight tariffs which increase by 23 per cent tne charges for transportation of feeding cattle and sheep between Missouri river and Mississippi river transfers, includ ing Chicago were ruspended today by the inten-tate comn erce commission until December 3, 1911. The proposed rates were filed with the commission by the Minneapolis St. Louis rail rood and the Iowa Central railway ef fective August 16, and by the Chicago, Burling on .t Outncy railroad effective September 1. It is probable other car riers will file similar rates, which will be suspended as they reach the com mission. For many yours freight tar iffs filed by the railway between the Missouri and Mississippi rtvers have provided that feeding cattle or stock cattle might be shipped at 75 per cent )f the rate charged on fat cattle, the reason for the difference being that the feeder?? are concentrated during certain seasons at cattle markets for Eale to stock raisers and then are re shipped to the ranges to be fattened. On shipments of this kind the rail way obtains three hauls of the same cattle from substanti the same mar kets, comirg and going as "feeders" and returning from the ranches as "fat cattle." BCFFALO BILL FINDS CRADLE. He Locates Article for Which He Has I.ong Searched. Des Moires. Aug-. 9. W. F.

Eastern Cities Foresee Need of strlctions on Aeroplanists. Re- Washington. Aug. 9. Now that most horses c longer are frightened at au tomobiles a new terror in the shape of the aeroplane is beginning to en use trouble whie'i may result in muricipal air navigating regulations. The need for such regulations has been brought to the attention of the authorities of Washington, where aeroplane flying has become almost a daily occurrence, through an accident caused by a flying machine frightening a horse which rar awav and seriouslv injured the occu pants of the carriage it drew. It is possible that this accident may result in home regulation governing the landing of aeroplanes within the city limits. The same problem has been faced abroad and now the most of the foreign aero clubs have made rules against aeroolar.es flying over dense ly populated districts, so that thv are prevented trom coming into cities at alL Confessed 1ong Forgotten Crime.

James Dwiggins, a negro youth, ar rested on lower Kansas avenue last night drunk and looking for trouble, led some of the officers a rapid chase this morning when he flew off the rock pile. He was fined $10 and sent out to the sheds to reduce rock with the rest of the detained. At the first chance, however, he darted out of the shed door, over the fence, and down the a' ley north. Officer Lindsay shot into the air to lend him speed and Detective Anderson, hearing the shot and surmis ing what had happened led the pur suers out of the station and north on Jackson street. At Fourth street, Dwiggins turned east and at the corner of Jackson ran into the arms of An derson. The "smoke" was so dum founded he didn't say a word.

Tons of Fruit Are Rotting in the Crates. London, Aug. 9. Increasing dis orders and progress toward peace were the contrary features of the dock strike today. The men of dockland who are already feeling the pinch of deprivation have adopted drastic measures to prevent any attempt by nnn.iininnlsts or clerical staffs to move a wheel, and collisions with, the po lice were frequent and snarp. The board of trade is composing the difficulties of employers and em or,q cAma A'tional disDUtes have now been settled with every pros pect that tne aemanas gi umei op tions will be satisfied before the end of the week.

The Kind Yea Kava Always Essgfct Bears the Signature of Didn't Remember That People Had Dread Disease. Ball and Chain Put On to Pre vent Escape. With a big iron ball fastened to his leg oy a chain, Louis Hoffman stood at the pest house telephone this af ternoon and dictated the following statement to the State Journal: "I didn't mean no harm when I went down in the smallpox district last night and walked into the Her schel house. I have known those people every since I was a baby. I had been drinking a little bit yes terday and thought while I had noth ing to do that I would go down and call on my friends. I saw that small pox sign on the house and paid very little attention to it I didn't know they were so strict about the quar antine business. "I walked In there and everybody was scared and ran away from me and then I was arrested and brought out here to the pest house and I've got to stay here It days In order to see it i ve taken the smallpox." Hoffman has the prize hard luck story of the year. While in a stupor after drinking a little bad beer Tues day evening, Hoffman wandered down on the East side to visit friends who had the smallpox. His heart was full of sympathy and he wished to console the friends who had been confined and under guard for so long. While on this missionary trip Hoff man was greeted only with warnings and screams. He was yanked about Dy smallpox guards who had no con ception of the feeling of one friend for another who has smallpox. Finally he was arrested by the city board of health and taken to the detention hos pital where a 100-pound ball and chain was placed on his leg and he was given a room to occupy for at least fourteen days. If he catches the smallpox he must stay there until he is cured. Hoffman couldn't tell his captors his name last night. The beer affected his memory. The only thing the beer did that could be admired, was to instill Into Hoffman's soul the sweet mem ories of friendship. In fact, Hoffman insisted this afternoon that he was especially anxious to see his smallpox friends and visit them. There is one feature of the evening's entertainment that Hoffman can not appreciate. Last night after his arrest hs was taken into the pest house where the big ball and chain was attached to his right leg, because he said he wouldn't stay. The pest house keepers feared that Hoffman would escape. He was given a room and he fell on the bed and asleep with the ball out in f.h- middle of the haU. Late at night the keeper went upstairs to see how his patient was resting. In the dark he stumbled over the big 100-pound ball and fell flat. Angered at his luck, the keeper went In the room where Hoffman was sleep ing like an Egyptian mummy and changed the ball and chair from the right foot to the left. This morning Hoffman woke up and discovered the change. For several minutes Hoffman sat on the edge of his bed trying to figure out how that big 100-pound ball could Jump from one foot to the other Hoffman said this afternoon that he would not try to escape from the pest house. He said the keeper had promised to remove the big load. While a reporter was waiting at the downtown end of the telephone to talk with Hoffman, the bumping noise of the big ball could be heard as the prisoner, assisted by the keeper strug gled to the receiver. I guess I m done for for fourteen days, anyway," said Hoffman. "I know that I didn't mean no harm in going to see those people on the East side and I can't, figure out why the city should raise such an awful dis turbance when a fellow wants to call on his friends. "I don't believe the city officers have any idea of how a fellow wants to see a sick friend. They haven't any sympathy over there at the city hall." Hoffman has been working with the Kaw paving company. He Is liv ing at 227 Kansas avenue and said he was born and raised In Topeka. AUTO RUNS WILD Hits a Building on Kaxisas Avenue This Afternoon. The antiquated "bull in a china shop" was almost brought up to date this afternoon about 2:30 o'clock when an automobile tried to get into the Rigby candy store at 322 Kansas ave nue. All that saved the candy shop was the fact that the err swerved a second time and hit a stairway. The door was demolished, but the hill was too steep and the wild machine was subdued. The machine was a touring car be longing to the Smith Automobile com pany and carried the old "No. 3." The driver, whose name was not learned, lost control of the car presumably through some fault in the steering gear, and the' motor dodged up onto the curbing and across the walk. The damage was not extensive. SETTLE DIVORCE CASE. Harry Nathanson and His Bride Have Made Up.

Nathanson and his wife have talked matters over. They decided both were in the wrong and agreed to start all over again. To dav they went to the court house to gether, where the" action for divorce and alimony was dismissed. "I guess we were both a bit to blame.'- said the girl bride, "and we have decided to start all over again. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be just as happy as ever." Nathanson said the trouble started over a family argument and that his wife were persuaded to bring an ac tion for divorce. mmm X mmmli i If i I xroue THE WEATHER RECORD.

A new case of smallpox in the Fun nell family at 211 Hancock street to day. The only new occupanc of the city detention hospital is Lewis Hoffman, a young man who staggered into an in fected house last evening and was taken to the pest house for recupera tion and for a rest of fourteen days to watch developments. Nearly 100 people wre vaccinated at the office of Dr. Marcotte, special city physician, last night. Dr. James Stewart, the new city physician, worked with Dr. Marcotte. Dr. James G. Stewart, who accept ed the appointment of city physician in the middle of the smallpox epidemic, is collecting a number of humorous ex periences which will bear recounting later on as a part of the perquisites of the office. Usually th" duties of city physician are not particularly oner ous, but since the smallpox, scare Dr. Stewart has found himself kept com fortably busy running down rumors of unquarantined cases. As a general thing, the reports have for foundation the illness of some citi zen, concerning whose case the neigh bors have been too cautious to inform themselves thoroughly. In one Instance Dr. Stewart called at a house where neighbors believed smallpox had brok en out. He found two men ill in the same bed. They manifested no signs of the dread contagion, however, and inquiry developed that the.- had on the previous day taken a se'f administered Phoenix Guaranteed Silk Hose V2 Price The Toeeerv's Silk Rubber Coats, President Suspenders, E.

"My neighbors saw how my baby had broken out and have been so afraid it was smallpox that I have not been able to get within speaking distance of them since." Klsewhere the doctor traced a sus pected case that proved to be a man with a broken leg while another rumor led to a vacant lot in a neighborhood where no one had smallpox or was even suspected of it.

They are attempting what has never been attempted in the state of Kansas. Can they get away with it? Thousands of outraged, honest Republicans indignantly say. Xo. The Journal-World speaking for the peo ple gives voice to what every voter hears every hour in the day. "Of course Mr. G-uyer cannot be elected, but this paper believes in the wozressive principles, and it enters its earnest protest to a man who is so entirely void of political integrity as to be the recipient of a manipulation made by seven men and denying 23,000 Republicans any voice whatever. It is not only a rape of the progressive principles, but it is as unpatriotic as it is unfair. "TVcse may be plain words, but the (situation 4s critical. The thousands of honest, progressive Republicans are entitled to have their banners carried by candidates who, like Caesar's wife, 'are above suspicion.' "The Journal-World repeats that it does not believe this committee will ever make a nomination. If it should do so, such a name will never get on the ticket. Should his name get on the ticket he would be burled under an avalanche of votes such as would make Anderson-Wilson perfidy in the Fifth district look like child's play. "It is a most critical time for the progressive movement. Shall it con tinue to carry its banners aloft or shall It be an office appetite; grasping, greedy, contemptible?" A. M. Keene Says It Is Unlawful. Representative A. M. Krone of Fort Scott, a progressive candidate for con gress from the second district, joins C harlie Scott, regular, ami Senator J. L. Brady, progressive, in condemnation of the action of the Second district congressional committee action in tak ing the matter of the nomination of a Republican candidate in its own hands. Mr. Keene. in a telegraphic reply to a State Journal query in regard to his opinion of the committee action, does not mince his words. He says: "I am strongly opposed to the com mittee naming a candidate for the Second congressional district. There is no legal authority for such action and the people are demanding a primary all over the district. M) the candi dates but one are insisting on the pri mary. The progressive element of the Republican party can not afford to turn down its principles and platform pledges even to gain a supposed tem porary advantage. How can the Re publican party explain, appoint or even hold a trading convention and be i consistent with the advanced xoeas oi 'the primary law? As progressive Re publicans we should prautice what we have been advocating." NEW SANTA FE BONDS. An Issue of One Hundred Million Is Asked. New York, Aug. 9. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway company has decided to create a $100,000,000 convertible bond issue which the stockholders will be asked to approve at the annual meeting in 1911. News of the proposed Increase was contair od in a leter to stockholders by Presi dent Ripley. The bonds will be issued from time to time. The bonds will be convertible into common stock, which will be provided for bv an Increase of $100,000,000 of authorized common stock. The head Santa Fe officials are out of the city on a "harmony tour" today and nothing could be obtained on lhe probable special use of the $100,000, 000 bond issue. But it is known in railroad, circles generally that the creation of con vertable bonds Is simply the usual course of a railroad to provide for the expenses of the coming year. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe forms a budget one year for the year following -something on the plan of the municipal commission form of government. The budget for next year has not been completed but the bond issue noted in the above dispatch will not be available until 1918. It is assumed then that the $100, 000.000 in convertables is simply for the purpose of paying regular main tenance and Improvement expenses of 1912. The. construction of the Sibley bridge and the big double track pro gram will eat a big hole into the bond issue. The Only Time. Thomas Dad, when is the freedom of the city given to a man?

PENALTY IS FIXED. If So Returns Are Made City Will Know Why. Burge Is Registrar of Topeka and Tart of Shawnee County. Beginning the first of next week, C. B. Burge, city cltrk, will be local reg Istrar of the city of Topeka and all cf Shawnee county with the exception of Oakland, Rossville and Silver Lake. All of the physicians, undertakers, and nu.lwives of this district will report to Registrar Burge and every birth, death and burial will :?e registered as close ly as a motor car or a business house that pays a license. This appointment comes as a result (fa law passed by the state legislature in the session of 1911. It is for the purpose of obtaining a systematic reg istration of all vital statistics in the state of Kansas. Other city clerks iu the state have been given a similar appointment. City Clerk Burge said this afternoon that no circular letter would be sent to the physicians, undertakers and midlives. He i.s dep-n.ilng iv n the newspapers to inform them ot the law. But if anyone in Topeka or his Shaw nee district fail to rep. rt to tht reg istrar a penalty is fixed by the state. On the other hand if the registrar fails to keep a prompt record he is subject also to a penalty and imprisonment. The idea of these vital statistics was explained in the State Journal last even ing. Nearly BOO city clerks in the state have been appointed local registrars. In the past the birth and death records have been kept by the city board of health in the charge of the sanitary sergeant. City ordinances have been passed and amended in an effort to re quire the physicians to report all births and deaths but the records have been incomplete. The last year has recorded more births than ever before in the his tory of the city and still the officials feel that a large number is overlooked. The new order of the state places the matter in the hands of the city clerk and immediate action is expected. City Clerk Burge has gone after the matter with a vim. "If I don't see that this law is carried out it means fine and imprisonment for me and let me tell you I am going after these statistics," said Mr. Burge this afternoon. To the physicians birth certificates, death certificates and a copy of the law will be sent. To midwives birth certifi cates and a copy of the law. To under takers death certificates and a copy of the law. To the cemeteries a cemetery record book and a copy of the law. SHOXTS AFFAIRS SMOOTH. Harmony Prevails Despite All Recent Contrary Reports.

They tried to gain an entrance through ft rear window, but were scared away by one of the neighbors, before they could get it open. There seems to be an organized gang of thieves on the. North side judging from the recent attempts at robbery. It first started by some of the resi dents being relieved of their porch furniture, next cellars were entered and quantities of canned fruit taken, and last Saturday night the refriger ator belonging to Mrs. Watkins, of 1128 Central avenue was broken open and all the eatables prepared for Sun day were purloined.

However, there needs to be a correction made, as a letter received this morning from City Clerk Harmon at that place denies the report, and says that Valley Falls is now free from any case of this kind. An extract from the letter is as fol lows: "About a month ago Mexican laborer on the Santa Fe had a slight attack of the disease and you know a Mexican regards the smallpox in about the same light that an Ameri can does a bad cold but no more cases developed and this man has been doing his regular work for several weeks."

ROBBED WHEAT CARS. Atchison Youth Delivered Grain in Almost Any Quantity. Atchison. Kan., Aug. 9. Alva Loar, a well dressed youth, is held in $2,000 bond on ten counts for stealinc wheat from boxcars. In default of bond he is in Jail to await t'ial in the district court. There are two indictments against the man. one of which. for nine counts. Loar was arrested some time ago by Sheriff Tom Lurkin after an extended investigation of numerous thefts of wheat from cars In the Santa Fe yards. .He denied his guilt, but the testimony of ;ome SO witnesses against him con vinced Jvdge Floyd E. Harper that his transactions were irregular. Loar was the best dresstd mar. in the court room and his hands had the appear ance of beii.g unusued to hard work. It was several months ago that the railroad officials began complaining to the police and county ofiicialii of large quantities of wheat which were being stolen dailv from their cars. Several officers1 were detailed to watch the yards and it was not Ions before the method of operation was discov ered. According to the testimony Loar wou?d enter a car, fill several sacks w-ith grain end transfer them to an other car. Then he would summon an expressman and have the sacks deliv ered to a convenient place, from which he sold their contents. Sold in Lare Quantities. Business men who bought the grain at a trivial price testified that Loar would approach them and ask if they wanted some good wheat. Milling con pany officials in particular were catered to, and when they bought he would have the grain delivered in al moi:t any quantity. Several teamsters tstified to having repeatedly hauled sacks of grain for the defendant. Loar maintained that all grain he sold was known as "sweepings, and that he got It through hard work in cars which had been emptied of their contents. Several vitnesses, however, declared they could not have been sweepings, as the grain was unusually clean. It is thocght that before Loar's case is disposed of several arretts wiil be mad.

Swearingen Goes to Excelsior Springs to Recover ilis Health. Suffering from a nervous break down. Frank W. Swearingen, the Kan sas avenue jeweler, has gone to Excel sior Springs, where he will probably remain until late in September. Mrs. Swearingen says that worry over the Mills litigation and the subsequent no toriety has injured her husband's health. At their home today Mrs. Swearin gen for the first time discussed her husband's side of the trouble with Mrs. Mills. The Jeweler's wife resented the numerous attacks to wn'ch her hus band has been subjected c-nd declared that he was in the right in the trouble. The wife was also certain that full jus tice had not been given in the trial of the cases and that there was a plot to Injure Sw-earingen's reputation and business. "The Mills trouble was not nearly as eerlous as the papers sid." declared Mrs. Swearingen. "and I think many other people would have done just what my husband did under the cir cumstances. He consulted an attor ney before he stopped payment on the check and he believed be was Justified In the course he took. Tl en when Mr. Barber came to the store recently and demanded payment of thrr check, the paper was not worth a penny. When a check has no negotiable value. I don't see how a man is guilty of theft when he takes it. But the courts look at it differently. "My husband is suffering from a nervous breakdown," continued Mrs. Swearingen, "and this Mills trouble is the cause of it all. He will probably spend six or eight weeks at the springs in an effort to rest up." Through all the trouble, Mrs. Swear ingen has stood steadfastly by her hus band. She refuses to believe he is in the wrong, and insists that there is a plot to injure their staiding in the lUiOKKUW WM. GREEN SON GROCERY CO. community. But Mrs. Swearingen says this plan has not succeeded. Recently Swearingen was arrested on a charge of petit larceny for the theft of an $8.20 check which he gave Mrs. Mills nearly a yesr ago. Pay ment of the check was stopped and recently Mrs. Mills' att.irnev went to the store, where he demanded the money. Swearingen tht-n took the check, put it in his pocked and refused to pay the money. Last Saturday afternoon Swearingen went to the court of Topeka, -where he pleaded guilty. He was fined one cent and cofts. STATEHOOD AT LAST. Bill Admitting Arizona antl New Mex ico lasses Senate. Washington. Aug. 9. The bill grant ing statehood to New Mexico and Ari zona, legislation that has been for many years the dream of the people of those territories, was passed by the senate last night, 53 to 18, alter rejec tion of the Nelson amendment which proposed striking out of the Arizona constitution its judiciary recall provi sion. The bill as passed by the senate dif fers only slightly from the house measure and, it is said, 'nay be unsat isfactory to President Taft. He has contended all along that he would be glad to sign the statehood bill if the Nelson amendment prevailed, but that It was a grave question whether he would be willing to sign it if the amendment was defeated, aa it was by 43 to 26. The indications are that the bill will become a law without his sig nature. The senate amended tne house bill with two minor changes :-?garding the manner of voting in New Mexico on proposed amendments to its constitu tion. These will undoubtedly be agreed to by the house and the bill expedited to the White House. These amend ments were reported by the senate committee on territories and agreed to without debate. Practically all of the rebate on the bill centered around th-B Nelson amendment. Even some senators who declared their opposition to the recall of judges voted against the amend ment on the ground that if the people of Arizona desired recall as part of their system of government it was for them and not for confess to say whether they should have it. The bill as passed compels Arizona as a condition precedent to entry into the Union, to submit the recall propo sition to the voters for final decision as to whether it will remain in their constitution. New Mexico must vote on a proposition embodied in the bill which would make the constitution of the state easier of amendment. DIETZ SERIOUSLY ILL. Defender of Cameron Dam Suffering from Blood Poisoning. Milwaukee, Aug. 9. John Dietz, "the defender of Cameron dam," is seriously ill at the Waupun state pris on, the result of blood poisoning from a wound received in the memorable battle with deputy sheriffs of last Octo ber, according to a telegram received by George Schultes, chairman of the Dletz defense committee.

Mich., Aug. 9. In an address at the quarter centennial celebration of the Michigan College of Mines. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Charles Nagel attacked the sug gestion of Judge Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, that the fed eral government should exercise con trol over the price of commodities. "Yes," said Secretary Nagel, "and when the government runs the whole business Gary will try to run the government. "It's all very well to say, 'let the government fix prices; then they can be made low enough for us.' but when we undertake to fix prices for the consumer we must of necessity fix prices for the producer; then we must fix conditions and wages in the fac tory; and the result is the government controls every industry; and when it controls it, it owns it." GRAIN ISSTRONG. Frost and Bust Threaten Wheat Crop in Canada. Cold and Rain Prevail West of Winnipeg. CORN PRICES HARDEN Owing to Anticipation of a Bull ish Government Report. Investment Buying Gives Boost to Provisions. Chicago, Aug. 9. WHEAT With frost and rust more threatening than ever in the Canadian northwest and with Euro pean news decidedly bullish wheat today took an upward slant. Cold and rain af flicted the vast fields between Winnipeg and the Rockies whereas the needed con ditions were warm winds and a clear sky. Cable dispatches reported that difficulties about a short crop in Russia had been made worse by the seamen's strike di minishing more immediate sources of sup ply both for Great Britain and the con tinent. The opening here was unchanged to c higher. September started at 92c to 93c, an advance of c to c but react ed to 92.c. Later news of clearing warmer weather in Canada and an expert's opinion that despite rust North Dakota will yield an average crop led to a further setback. Afterwards export business at New York caused the market to recover. The close, however, was weak with September g) l,ic net lower at 94Uig'94c.

A de manded change of bal'oon material may change the entire American team in the James Gordon Bennett interna tional trophy balloon race to start from Kansas City October 5. When the teum was chosen about two weeks ago, the clause was put in that the pilots must fly a balloon with rubber ized cotton or silk gas envelope. Now pilots and aero club presidents are try ing to determine just what the clause really means and what bearing it will have on the American tem. One thing, it means that none of the winning balloons in the national elimi nation race which started from here July 10 will be in the International race for they were cotton fabrics. It may mean that none of the winning pi lots of the national will fly in the in ternational and it may mean that Kan sas City will get a chance in the race. Rubber Balloons Scarce. Lieut. Frank P. Lahm, U. S. A.; Capt. John Berry and W. F. Assman, all of St. Louis, were chosen as the American team, with J. H. Wrade,' jr., of Cleveland, Frank M. Jacobs of To peka and Capt. H. E. Honeywell of the Kansas City as substitutes in the order named. None of them except Wade flew in a rubber balloon and the only other balloon in the national race that was of rubber fabric was the New York, piloted by Clifford B. Harmon with Augustus Post, aid, finishing last In a letter to George M. Myers, pres ident of the local aero club, yesterday, Captain Honeywell stated that it was his belief that Berry and Assman would not be able to obtain a rubber balloon, which they must do before September 1 to comply with the rules of the race. Lahm, he believes, will be able to get one. With Berry and Assman out, the choice "alls to Wade and Jacobs. Wade has a rubber bal loon and will fly, undoubted'y, but the Topeka club has not one and may not be able to obtain it. If they do not, it will be up to Kansas City to take a place in the race. Mr. Myers returned yesterday morn ing from Topeka, wher? he made ar rangements for the proposed balloon race between Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis and other cities which may come in. The date of the race i--. fixed as September 12, 13 or 14. The new Kan sas City balloon will be used and Mr. Myers will fly as the aia with Capt. H. E. Honeywell as pilot. HAUL THE WHEAT FREE. All the Railroads Today Agree to Do This. Representatives of the seedless wheat counties and of the Kansas rail roads, met in the offices of the utilities commission today and as a result of the conference the Missouri Pacific, Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Rock Island railroads agreed to haul se.d wheat free to the northwest counties for fall planting. The counties were represented as follows: Gove George H. Thomas, county clerk. Thomas B. W. Balrd. Logan W. A. Potter and J. W. Wolf, county commissioners. Wallace Thomas Price, sheriff. Gove county will need 50.000 bush els of seed wheat, according to esti mates made today. 'Thomas will need SO OftO HtiatiAla T no r 9 R AAA els. Wallace 1 (1 ftno husbole. It is believed that the action of the railroads in deciding to haul the seed wheat free will help the situation to a considerable degree. Plans are on foot to lend seed wheat to responsible farmers on shares to be repaid with one-fourth of the crop raised next year. Individuals will make the in vestment in the seed wheat and take chances on next year being a good wheat year in western Kansas. First A. P. Operator Dies. Louisville. Ky.. Aug. 9. Frank B.

Evidently he miss ed his calculations and drove off the edge of the culvert, the buggy upset ting in the creek at a place where it was about fifteen feet deep. The strong current carried Stretchberry about fifty feet down stream. There he caught on a tree which was almost covered by water but with a part of the limbs projecting above the current. He had no more than pulled him self up onto the tree and looked around than he saw his wife's head in the water. With the baby in her arms she and the baby were almost drowned by the time she reached the tree. Mr. Stretchberry caught hold of his wife's hair and pulled her and the baby up to a place of safety by him. In a moment more Mrs. Stretch berry's little brother was swept up to ward the tree. Mr. Stretchberry pull ed him out. Mr. Stretchberry called loudly for help, but there was no one near enough to hear him. After rest ing a few moments and seeing that his wife and the children were safely lodged in the tree, he swam to the shore. Ed McEwen first undertook to rescue them. He reached the tree, hut was unable to swim back with the refugees through the swift current. Thomas Keif then undertook the rescue and accomplished it success fully, after a swimming performance which was remarkable for a man of middle age. Three times he swam to the tree and back, making a separate trip for Mrs. Stretchberry, the baby and the little bov. CAN'T HOLD DESERTER. More Than FiTe Years Had Passed Since His Enlistment.

A parrot, the property of an elderly v iiman, was the cause of angry words at the Union depot last night. At 10:15 o'clock the bird's mistress passed through the gates to board the Santa Fe train which leaves Kansas City for Chicago at 10:30 o'clock. For some reason or other the woman did not board the train immediately but set the cage which contained the parrot in a con venient place and chatted with friends who had accompanied her to the sta tion. Suddenly the cry of "all aoard" was heard. The conductor looked at his watch and then at a young man who near. "What is the matter with you?" asked the conductor. "We've got 14 minutes yet before we pull out and I don't know that It's up to you to be hollering 'all aboard.' "You have made a mistake, my friend," replied the young man. "I didn't say a word and I don't like the way you addressed me!" "N'ow let me tell you something:" exclaimed the conductor. "I am run ning this train and you had better not get funny with me: I won't stand for It a minute! If you are going to any point we make why get Into your car and keep your mouth shut!" Naturally the young man resented the conductor's words. He became angry and wanted to know why he should be subjected to uncalled for abuse. "Why. didn't you Just yell "all aboard?'" asked the conductor with irritation. "Xo. I didn't." replied the younj man. "and what is more T don't intenJ to take any of your insolence." Just then came the cry: "All aboard, all aboard!" It was the parrot. STARTED A TOWN- ROW. Iola Jud-re Who Sent Woman to Street Gang Gets Xo Support. Iola, Kan., Aug. 9. Iola city offi cials, with the exception of Municipal Judge D. B. D. Smeltzer, are up in arms and Street Commissioner G. C. Glynn is bordering on indignation be cause a woman has been sentenced to don a pair of bloomers and join the street gang from the city Jail. Judge Smeltzer sentenced Mrs. Klia Reese to the street gang and ordered that the city officials provide her with the bloomers. Mr. Glynn refuses to have a woman in the chain gang. Mrs. Reese did not gc to work breaking rocks or sweeping the streets because the bloomers had not been provided and the officials say they will not allow the woman to carry out the sentence imposed upon her. "Mrs. Reese." said Juc!ee Smeltzer, "is just as guilty as the men compan ions arrested with her. They are work ing on the streets and sue must do so. It is no punishment to allow her to go to jail and do nothing bat live at the expense of the city." BODY XOT RECOVERED. Searchers Are Still Dragging Solomon River. Bennington. Kan., Aug. 9. The body of Sam Harvey, who was drowned in the Solomon river Satur day, has not been recovered although searching parties are still at work. At the time the motor boat passed over the dam, the water was running nearly level with the dam, but a great whirlpool formed at the place and sucked the boat in. Mr. Banks of Glasco tried to save young Harvey but was unable to do so. The four young men with Harvey succeeded in getting to the shore safely. The motor boat sank and is prob ably at the bottom of the river yet. The river is still rising and this fact baffles the work of the searching party. This is the second drowning in the Solomon river within two weeks. JIEN" "MOTHERS" PCPPIES. Eon I lights Desperately When Taken front Adopted Family. Kansas City, Kan., Aug. 9.

Rock Island Kansas Citj-St.Paul Line Well Under Way. Line Will Be Completed in Next TwelTe Months. COST 60,000 A MILE Coal Property on New Extension Is Being Developed. Other Items of General Interest in Traffic World. Des Moines. Ia.. Aug. 9. All equip ment necessary in the work of con structing the 68 miles of track from Allerton to Carlisle, la., which will complete Rock Island's short line from St. Paul to Kansas City, is on the ground. The work is well under way, and will be carried forward with the greatest possible expedition. The sur vey has been divided Into eight sections of approximately eight miles each and two gangs have been put to worK in each section. It was originally esti mated that the line would be ready tor operation by September 1, 1912, but it has been decided to put in substantial pile bridges to enable an equal dis tribution of the steel structural ma terial for the permanent bridges and it is possible that the temporary struct ures can be utilized of transportation purposes by making a cross-over at each bridge, until the steel structures have been completed. Another favorable development since the work was begun is the fact that a good deal of the cutting and grading ca.n be done more easily than was an ticipated, and as the contract price was based on the quality of the material to be removed the prospects are that the total cost of the work wiil fall some what below the original estimate. Through Itough Country. As the line runs through what is con sidered the roughest portion of Iowa and is to have negligible grade, no curves sharper than three degrees, and standard stone ballast, the cost was estimated at close to $60,000 a mile, or a total for the 68 miles of approximate ly $4,000,000. Of the $10,000,000 St. Paul Kansas City Short Line 4V2 per cent. bonds issued and sold in February, $i,- 500,000 were available for the purchase of the St. Paul Des Moines, which constitutes the northern division of the new short line, and for additions and betterments, while $4,500,000 were de posited with the trustees under the mortgage, the Bankers' Trust Co., and is available only for construction of the line now being built from Carlisle to Allerton. Sale of Bonds. The sale of these bonds netted the company about 90, or $9.000,0o0, $4,950,000 purchase of the St. Paul Des Moines and $4,05C,000 for construction purposes. As the St. Paul Des Moines cost the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific rail way, in round numbers, $3,500,000, there remained, after the retirement of the securities of that property, a surplus of approximately $1,400,000. This amount, together with whatever remains af t r the line now under construction is com pleted, will be applied to the improve ment and betterment of the Short Line. Development of the Rock Island rail- nay's coal property situated on the new line is being pushed as rapidly as possible and it is hoped to have it in shape to ship coal soon after the road is open for traffic. From this source Rock Island can supply fuel to most of its lines west of the Missouri river and in the southwest, and will effect sub stantial saving in that item of trans portation costs. DECREASE IX CAB SURPLUS. Quarterly Report Satisfactory to Coun try's Ko.ids. Arthur Hale, chairman of the com mittee on relations between railways of the American Railway association in presenting statistical bulletin' No. 99-A. giving a summary of car shortages and surpluses by groups from March 30, 1910, to July 19. 1911, says: The total surplus lor the date of this report is 150,433, a decrease of 15 075 since our last report. Of this de crease 7.574 are c.ial and gondolas, and 6 200 boxcars. There are also slight de creases in flat and miscellaneous cars. The bulk of the decrease in boxcars is in groups 3 (Central), 5 (Southern), and 10 (Pacific), while the coal car de crease is general. There are also some scattering shortages which are as yet unimportant. A study of the charts for previous years shows that without exception the decrease in surplus has started with either the first or sec ond period in July, and the reports Eeem to indicate a similar tendency in the supply this year."

SHOP STRUCK IS THREATENED. Western Itoads' Officials Say They Can Not Afford More Wages. Chicago, Aug. 9. Railroad ou.icia.ls in Chicago have begun arranging con ferences to discuss the strike said to threaten all western lines, with the purposes of presenting an undivided front if action is taken by employees. Officers of the Chicago, Kock Island Pacific railroad denied the strike ru mors and said their employees had made no demands. Other lines admit ted the possibility of a strike. According to reports in circulation among railroad men. all the western lines have been sent a series of de mands from the shop workers, the principal Items in which are as fol lows: Physical examination and personal record blank requirements to be dis continued. A flat increase of 15 per cent in wages. An eight-hour day. Time and one-half for day service after 6 p. m. and double time after midnight. One apprentice to be employed for every five mechanics, and this ratio to be maintained. Apprentices not to work overtime. Employees laid off on account of a reduction in the force to be re-employed in the order they have been laid off. Piece work premium system to be abolished. The management of the Southern railroad has Issued a circular pointing out that the demands would mean an additional outlay for that company alone of $-.796,000 each year. It is set forth in the circular that in the last five years the wages of the shop crafts have been increased, on the average, 12 per cent and in some in stances as high as SO per cent. Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president -.f the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, said: "It is a very serious situation. The demands mean an outlay of JT.OOO.O'X) to the Harriman roads. It is certain we do not feel that a demand for in creased pay is Justifiable at this time." "The railroads have reached a point where they cannot afford to pay more money to their workers and if a strug gle is to come, I know of no better time than the present," said another railroad official.

A through passenger train might also indicate that the Santa le has secured an annual rental of the Atchison bridge; it may also mean that the Santa Fe will find it necessary to take a lot of traffic off its Kansas City line while the company's new bridge over the Missouri river, east of Kansas City, is being built. Of course railroads are not run on sentiment, bvt the Santa Fe probably has figured that it can run a paying through passenger that will touch Atchison, Toptka and Santa Fe, the three cities that started the great road and gave it it. inspiration. None of these towns are now on what may be properly termed "the through line," although most of the through trains still "make" Topeka. ATCinSON IS GIVEN A BOOST.

Atchison has been made headquarters of the claim department of the Missouri Pa cific for Kansas, Nebraska and Colo rado. Hereafter claims will be part of the law department under B. P. Waggener, general solicitor, instead of a separate department. A district claim agent, not yet named, will be lo cated here. The new arrangement carries with it largely increased im portance in a hospital way. Many in jured employees, whom the company now encourages to go to St. Louis for treatment, will be taken care of here. This is a recommendation by President Bush, who believes in Realizing the work. There 'will also be local claim agents at Osawatomie. Fort Keott and Hoisington, under the dbirict agent in Atchison. Atchison is !s,- to be hos pital headquarters for Kansas, Ne braska and Colorado.
