Fall Planting Is Computed in Nearly All Counties. Newton, Kan., Oct. 2. A good rain fell here and is general over the coun ty. The rain was heavy in some places and the farmers believe it will kill many of the army worms that are in vading the fields. Ellis. Kan., Oct. 2. It has been raining here for the last 2 4 hours. Three and a quarter inches tell by Sauce measurement. This will be a great benefit to the winter wheat. About 7 5 per cent of the acreage is sown. This is the heaviest rain here in more than a year. Xorton. Kan.. Oct. 2. Xorton coun- tv bus received one and one-half inches of rain, and it came in a slow drizzle, doing the ground the most I eood of any rain this year. Wheat sowing will finish with a vim now and Who Dropped Dead Today. that which has been sown will come up strong and even. Clay Center, Kan., Oct. S. The ground here is thoroughly soaked and wheat will now go into the winter in txci-lient shape. The rain was accom panied by much lightning, the German Methodist church In Clay Center being struck. Considerable damage was done to the church but It was not set "n fire. Lightning continued most of the night. Jewell, Kan., Oct. 2. A much need ed rain has fallen here. Wheat sow ing is almost over, the acreage being the largest ever sown in this county. Never before has the ground been so well prepared as a seed bed. Corn will make a one-fourth crop In this locality, a large proportion having been cut for feed. Smith Center, Kan., Oct. 2. A week of unprecedented hot September weathr in this county ended when a steady, soaking rain fell for eight hours. It is the first good rain for a number of weeks and will sprout and bring forth the large acreage of newly sown wheat. Atchison, Kan., Oct. 1. An Inch of rain fell here and was general over this part of the state. Trains were de layed "by soft tracks. Flainville. Kan., Oct. 2. For the last 24 hours a steady rain has been falling all over this territory. About one-half the fall wheat has been sown. This rain puts the ground in splendid condition. Barnard, Kan.. Oct. 2.

The taking of the testimony in Missouri's ouster suit against 31 companies' alleged to be in a lumber trust was resumed here today. The suit was filed by Governor Hadley wh n he was attorney general in 1907 at the request of the legisla ture. Hearings have been held in va rious cities and the state expects to close its case in the present hearing, which will extend until the last of the week. George W. Hotchkiss of Chicago, secretary of the Illinois Retail Lumber Healers' association, was the first wit ness today. His testimony related to the formation of his association, and Assistant General John M. Atkinson, who is conducting the case for the state, endeavored to show that the or ganization Hotchkiss represents is a part of the alleged trust the state de sires to oust. Weather Is Dismal. "It is a raw dismal sort of a day." remarked "Sunny" Flora, the local weather man this afternoon. "The air is damp enough to get all kinds of wa ter out of it if it were run through a clothes wringer. The indications are for showers tonight or Tuesday; warm er tonight. We'll probably have some crisp weather in a few days, but we can't look for that immediately." The wind is blowing ten miles an hour from the east. The temperature is averaging five degrees below normal for this time of year. The hourly i ea-uings: 7 o'clock 56!ll o'clock 58 5S;12 o'clock 60 6 i 1 o'clock 60 67 2 o'clock 61 S o'clock o'clock 10 o'clock M Expected Occupation of Tripoli Is Delayed. Rumor of Intervention by Ger many in Circulation. STREETS AUEDES EKTED Most of Inhabitants of City Have Fled. Declarations of Neutrality Are Being Made. The outstanding feature of the Ttirko-ftalian war news today is the attempted mediation of Germany, the success of which appears more prob able in the light of the statement made at the (iei-man foreign office today that a report that the German ambas sador at Constantinople had presented Italian proposals for peace was "pre mature," indicating that such propos als were expected. Cable communication with Tripoli remains cut orf but the city had not licen bombarded up to Saturday mid night, according to refuses arriving in Malta this morning. This appears to confirm the report from Itajy that the bombardment was delayed pending peace proposals. On the other hand a dispatch from Constantinople says Fethi Pasha, for merly Turkish minister to Servia, Iia,s been named commander of the troops mobilizing to defend the coast of the Adriatic. A dispatch from the Island of Corfu, off the Albanian coast, says two Turk ish, torpedo boats were sunk and a third captured off Gnmenit sea by the Italian patrolling fleet.. A semiofficial statement from Athens says Greece lias been notified by Constantinople that the Turkish military movements on the frontier are not directed against Greece. It Is reported from Malta that a British cruiser received a wireless dis patch saying Tripoli had been occupied by Italians. Chlasso, Switzerland, Oct. 2. It is reported that on Saturday Admiral Au brey was suddenly ordered to postpone the bombardment of Tripoli, as there were signs of a possibility of reaching an understanding with Turkey through the Inl'e'M'r-rtHon of certain powers, thus avoiding a continuation of tlw i war St. Petersburg. Oct. 2. The Russian declaration of neutrality is being draft ed and will be submitted to Emperor Nie .las at Talt. It will not be issued for a week. Marseilles, France, Oct. 2. Tele graphic communication with Tripoli by way of Malta has been interrupted since 4 o'clock yesterday. London, Oct. 2. A correspondent at Malta telegraphs this message today: "I am informed by one of the crew of the British cruiser Aboukir, which has arrived here, that the vessel received a wireless dispatch stating that Tripoli had been occupied by the Italians." Athens, Oct. 2. A semiofficial state ment made today says that the Turkisa charge has informed the foreign mm Buckman Pasha (Captain Ransford D, Buckmanl. Vice Admiral of the Turkish Navy and an American. ister that Greece need not take of fense at the Turkish military move ments on the frontier as they are due to the state of war with Italy. London. Oct. 2. A dispatch to Lloyds from Corfu says two Turkish torpedo boats were sunk and a third captured off Gumenitza near Frevesa by the patrolling Italian fleet. Rome, Oct. 2. A long special dis patch from Tripoli describes pictur esquely the appearance of the city "on the eve of Italian occupation." The native population, it appears, is talcing the course of events with stolid indiff erence, although the foreign popula tion has largely fled and most of the business section of the city is closed up in view of the danger of serious damage from bombardment. The dis patch says: "The landscape is serene. One sees a pa.'ty if big Turks lolling on the rampar' half hidden by the shade of thick palms. They have hoisted a red flag, which flaunts with a half-hearted air of defiance over the red fortifica tions. Close by the flag is a guardian sentinel, while behind the parapets one sees a group of soldiers watching from the summit of the castle, xney are not worried or nervous. Their air is one of profound indifference. For j (Continued on Page Eight.) r V Duke de Abrnzzir Who Is in Command of the Italian Xavv. WOULD WIN A.

Bag Will Fly After Big Inter natinal Contest There. The good balloon "Topeka II" will make an attempt to break the Ameri can Ions di:-ta.ncf filing reooi-d in Kansas City 'J'iujrjfday. The Topeka. gas bag will leave the aviation Held in that city about 6 o'clock Thursday evening and will sail majestically to the northeast if the prevailing winds come as expected by the aeronauts. The American record for continuous flying is 1,178 miles. This was made last year by Harmon when he piloted the "America II." With good condi tions and with former experiences to aid him, Frank M. Jacobs,, the Topckrf pilot, expects to break this record. He is so positive that the "Topeka II" will land in Canada over the Great Lakes, that he Is making every preparation for the northern landing. W. W. Webb, a well known Topekan, who made his first flight in a free bal loon from Topeka a few weeks ago, will act as aide to Pilot Jacobs. Webb has made a number of ascensions in captive balloons. He is qualifying for a pilot s license in the Western Aero association of Topeka and his interest and experience will make him a val uable assistant to Pilot Jacobs in his effort to break the records in Ameri can atmosphere. Conditions Are Kxcellent. Conditions at this time of the year are excellent for long distance flights. October and November are the aeronauts delight. The winds of this season are steady. No thunder storms threaten the descent of the balloonist.'. The sun is not too hot to hinder the filling of the gas bags at the start. Everything ts for the interests of the flyer. The record was made in the fall of the year. And if Pilot Jacobs and the Western Aero association carry out their threats the record will be broken in the same season. The "Topeka II" met with mishap in the national elimi nation race in Kansas City in July, or the pilot and aide are positive they would have won. the race. With the same bag, the same pilot and under better conditions, the Topekans have hopes of erasing the marks on the books of the Aero Club of America. In the International race in Kansas City Thursday, France will enter three balloons, Germany three and Switzer land one. America will have the three winners of the elimination race in July. Both Topeka and Kansas City who lost out in the national race will en ter their balloons in an effort to break the American long distance record. If they are successful either of the bal loons they will be entered on the Lahm cup a trophy given to the hold ers of the American record. In Topeka October 12 will be held the intercity races between Topeka, St. Louis, Kansas City and Salt Lake City with a possible entry from Den ver. The winner of this race wiil be given a trophy to be won finally after races have been held in Kansas City and St. Louis. FAMILY IS BURIED. Eight Children Left by Parents Lose Their Lives. Indiana, Pa., Oct. 2. Eight chil dren of Mr. and Mrs. William Dias. of Heehbon, near here, -ranging in age from 13 years to three months, were burned to death early today when fire destroyed the home. The parents left the children in their beds and went to the first floor where they made an attempt to extinguish the fire. The blaze spread rapidly, however. and they were unable to return to the rescue. Weather Indications. Chicago, Oct. 2. Kansas unsettled with showers tonight or Tuesday. Warmer tonight. FIRST BLOOD SHED Rioting Breaks Out at the Burn side Shops. Officials Insist That Not Half Men Are Out. TELL AXOTHEK STOUT President of Boilermakers Says Twenty Thousand Men Quit. Strength of Ilarriman Strike Determined Today. Chicago, Oct. 2. Violence broke out today among the striking employees of the Illinois Central railroad shops at Burnside which resulted in a riot cail being sent to the Kensington police station. John Chomas, a carpenter, who declined to walk out with the oth er men, was assaulted by four union pickets as he was going to work today. He was struck on the head with a brick and immediately was surrounded by a crowd of nearly a hundred strik ers. A private watchman employed by the Illinois Central attempted to interfere and was roughly handled and warned to let union pickets alone in the future. Chouias '.vai rescued by a patrol vsgoa full of police who arrived on the scene as another attack on the man was be ing made. He escaped with slight in juries. The union pickets fled when they saw the police coming and no ar rests were made. Two hundred strike breakers were smuggled into the big car shops at Burnside under cover of darkness, ac cording to the report of Illinois Central officials. They also declare that 100 strikers have quietly returned to work since Saturday. The statement was made by Special Agent Welch of the railroad who is assisting the police in protecting the property of the corn pa ny. A score or more of pickets were on duty early today. They worked indus triously in their efforts to persuade nonunion men to leave their posts but with varying success. The union labor leaders today declared that no strike breakers had been sent to the shops and that none of their men had re turned. A mass meeting of strikers was scheduled to be held during the morning. The gathering of former employees dispersed when the hour for beginning work had been passed. Most of them went home and, to all outward appear ances, left the usual Monday condition within the stockade. The men declared that fewer than 300 men were at work many of these former employees, old and infirm and nearing' the pension mark, who had been given permission by the unions to remain at work. As a result of the attack on Choma. a deadline was established at the Belt line tracks, which almost encircled the work at the distance of a city block. This line was guarded by city police men and strikers were not permitted to pass it. Charges that a squad of near ly ino rW-v nolicemen were on guard within the stockade, prepared to re main there, were made by strikers. This was denied at police headquarters. Rev. M. Woulf. at an early meeting -t the St. Joachim church, warned tho strikers against violence and advised them to seek mediation. Chicago, Oct. 2. The crucial test of the strike of the shopmen which was inaugurated on the Harriman lines Saturday is expected to come today. Saturday was a half holiday in the shops at nearly all points on the sys tem and in some cities the men .were only employed during the first four days of the week, consequently it was not possible to determine to what ex tent the strike order was obeyed. Julius Kruttschnitt, vice president and director of maintenance and operation of the Union and Southern Pacific lines, expressed the opinion that less than 25 per cent of the shop men had gone out. W. L. Park, vice president and gen eral manager of the Illinois Central, claimed today that less than one-half of the 7,000 men on his line had obey ed the order. J. A. Franklin, international presi dent of the Boilermakers' union, as serted that 20,000 men quit work on Saturday and that their numbers would be increased during the day. In some instances the unions have given special permission to the older men, long in the employ of the system, who would find difficulty in obtaining employment elsewhere, to remain at work. A strong police guard is held in readiness in this city to quell any trouble that may develop at Burnside, where the main shops of the Illinois Central are located. The only trouble so far reported occurred yesterday at McComb, Miss., where a train of strike breakers were stoned. Iowa Shopmen Quit. Waterloo, la., Oct. 2. Union shopmen to the number of 250 employed by the j Illincis Central nera walked out this j p tE N S V .Lf V A Xhk A I JL&3 flr morning About 25 men, mostly those who were advanced in years and vitally affected by the pension system, declin ed to obey the strike order. Xearly All Out at Portland. Portland. Oregon, Oct. 2. At 8 o'clock this morning only a handful of the 600 shopmen reported at the Brooklyn and Albina shops, and most of them were old employees whom the strikers had authorized to return to work so tt.ey wouid not lose their Uiance of partici pating in the Harriman pension sys tem. Train schedules are being main tained. dean Sweep Says Ryan. Kansas City. Oct. 2. -"It is a clean sweep," said M. F. Ryan, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, when asked today to what extent the members of his union had responded to the strike orders. "All the men are out," iie added. He said he had received no reports of dis order anywhere and that he did not expect any. "This is going to be a peaceable contest," he said. "Many of our men are property owners and none of them will resort to violence." President J. A. Franklin, of the Boil ermakers' union, said all the boiler makers had struck except at Omaha, where there had been some confusion in the Issuance of the btrike order. The men at Omaha would all go out today, he said. Presidents Franklin and Ryan -aid no overtures for a settlement had been made by either side, so far as they knew. Mississippi Strikers Enjoined. Jackson, Miss.. Oct. 2. A' temporary injunction applying to the entire state of Mississippi, was issued here today by Federal Judge Niles, against all the members of all the unions on strike on the Illinois Central.

With the prospect of knowing probably within the week the outcome of his applica tion for parole, John R. Walsh, the Chicago banker, went about hi3 daily duties at the federal prison here to day in a hooeful mood. Warden McClaughry, of the prison, said today that Chairman Ladow of tho board of pardons which heard Walsh's application among others last week, would be in Washington tomorrow. When the board's findings have been approved by the attorney general, they will be forwarded to the warden. Warden McClaughry said he expected to hear from them probably within a week. Mr. Walsh while able to attend to hii clerical duties has not been as well as ui-ual during the last week. RECORD COTTON YIELD. Nearly Fourteen Million Bales This Vear. Washington, Oct. 2. The cotton crop of the growing season of 1911, which early in the year frive indica tions that it would be one of the largest in the history of the industry, will be approximately 13, 868, 337. bales of 500 pounds or about 200.000 bales more than the record year of 1904. This was indicated by the final con dition report of the department of agriculture issued today at noon which showed the crop to be 71.1 per cent of a normal on September 25. KILLS FOR REVENGE. Family of Three Slain by an Enemy. Old Monmouth, III., Oct. 2. William E. Dawson, his wife and one daughter were found dead in their beds today, the skulls of each crushed in. Dawson was the caretaker of the First Presby terian church, and when he failed to open the building for services today, four men went to his home and found the bodies. There were no evidences of a strug gle and the murderer is believed to have killed each with a single blow. The police have no clew. The police are Inclined to believe the murder is the result of an old grudge of more than 20 years' stand ing. Dawson's life was at one time threatened when his testimony is said to have sent a companion to the peni tentiary for 20 years. Soon after the trial the convicted man said he would get Dawson when his sentence expired. The police say the sentence of this man expired less than a year ago, and while he has never been seen in this locality, those familiar with the case are inclined to investigate. The police also have asked records from the pris on officials at Joliet. I Yank Creelman Dies. New Tork. Oct. 2. Frank Creelman, vice president of the Blue Grass Lum ber company, is dead at a sanitarium here after a short illness. He born in Illinois thirty-five years ago and was a graduate of Wabash college. His body will be shipped to his home at High Point. N. C, for burial. i OIL OF DEAD Over One Hundred People Vic tims of Unexpected Flood. Dam at Austin, Pa., Breaks, Carrying Death Bifore It. DEAD ARE IDENTIFIED Names of Twelve of Those Who Lost Lives Known. Twenty Bodies Are Recovered by the Searchers. Austin, Pa., Oct. 2. More than 100 persons were drowned and a great number were maimed here when thu great dam of the Bayless Pulp Paper company, holding back more than 600 -000,000 gallons of water, went out Sat urday. With the arrival of a carload of cof fins here this morning the grimnexs of the tragedy which has practically ob literated this town was impressed on the survivors and a considerable num ber of workers who today hegan anew their efforts to mine deeply into th hard hills of debris. Twenty victims. Including two at Costella. had been placed in a temporary iiiorgu at Odd Fellows ball, one of the few buildings standing in the ruined district. 1 hj Identified -dead are twelve, as follows: J. E. BALDWIN, father of State Sen ator Baldwin. MRS. MARTHA KINNICUT. MISS I DA MILLER. MRS. WILLIAM NELSON. MRS. DR. A. E. MANS17Y. MISS ANNIE JACKSON. MRS. CHARLES SOFIFD. MRS MORTON SCHWOLD. MRS. GEORGE RENNICKS. MISS FISSIE MFLZER. MRS. LENA RICHIE. RALPH DONAFIRO. Plans for the funerals were being made today. The most essential matter In hand here, aside from the persistent work of clearing- away the more accessible ruins. Is the completion of the cenui; of the living Austinans. If the rienta list aggregates anything like the mor mons number some have estimated. th' health officials realize That conditions demanding prompt attention will arlso within a few days In the ruins. The most careful and well Informed Investi gators, however, are unprepared to learn that more than two hundred hnv perished. There is. Indeed, a possibility that 150 will be the total. There Is lit tle hope that any of the bodies remain ing in the wreckasre will be found In tact. The general aspect of the debris indicates that hundreds of thousand.! of javelin-like splinters and shreds of buildings were shot through and through the first accumulations of ruins by the debris subsequently hurlel onward by the continuing flood. The policing conditions today ttrm practically perfect. A 12-hours' down pour of rain served to materially re duce the number of incoming stsTrti seers and to this extent the police wern relieved. The Mate constabulary, stati sanitary engineers and engineers and chief officials of the state health d partment are co-operating In the meas ures for protection and relief. Valley of Desolation. The aspect of Austin, Costello and the valley beyond today Is as dreary as it is appallng. The towns are pic tures of desolation. The valleys and hills in which they lie are still lit tered by the shattered homes of their people and the remnants of prosperous places of business and manufacturing plants. No reliable estimate of the property loss can he soon mada. but it is safe to say it will not be less than $8,000,000. The paper and lumber industries ar utterly destroyed, the timber supply In deed was rapidly nearing exhaustion and at the best it was thought five Cont'-!ed on Pace EbzhO ADVERTISING TALKS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C FREEtUN Mr. W.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1911. RAWS TAKE TWO Doubleheader Sanday Makes Up for Saturday's Shutout. Fast Ball in Two Games Results in Score of 2 to 1. TOWNE STJRIKES OUT Inserts Himself to Hit for Stem Beefs at Haskell. Sioux Slakes Two Scores in 14 Innings. The Kawa entertained the Sioux for the last time this season Sunday by taking both ends of a double header by scores of 2 to 1. The second con test was called In the fifth inning on Account of darkness with the Kawa On the long end. Rain threatened and the sky was overcast. A muddy field made it worse but both games were fast and good exhibitions. Collegian George Clark made an at tempt to twirl both games for the Sioux and succeeded in all but the eighth inning of the first game when he was removed for a hitter. Pepper Clark opposed him in the first ana went the whole way with excellent success. Blaine jDurbin worked through the second contest, getting another vic tory. Fast play characterized the after noon and some of the stunts were of the big show variety. The act which the crowd ate up cleanest was Babe Towne's etrike out when he replaced Stem for a pinch hit. Babe is a hit ter and the gang knows it so they iwent after him. He raised a tremend ous yelp when Haskell called the third strike on him and furnished an inter esting interlude. Topeka Scores First. Topeka scored first. In the fourth. Just after Wagner robbed Whitney of a. two base hit or better by running a block under the ball for the second out. Crisp drew a walk and Andreas dropped a high pop up for Krepps. Kd miston found a clean single and Crisp made it home. The Kaws counted again in the fifth. Rlckert doubled to left, bouncing a long one off the fence. King moved him along and Whitney walloped to right, scoring the manager. They had the bases full in the sixth with two down and failed to score by King hit ting to Clark. The Sioux came into prominence for a moment during the eighth frame, scoring their one and threatening more, "Cy" Neighbors started it with a sin gle. Breen was an easy out but Wag ner followed the hitting idea with a long one to right. It was for two sacks and scored Neighbors. With Wag ner on second, Towne thought to tie it up so took the willow in hand for Stem. With the balls and strikes, three and two. and a half dozen fouls to his credit. Babe took a third strike and then beefed. The crowd went af ter him and did what a crowd always does wins by numbers. Mully Miller got a walk and then Babe jerked Geo. Clark to let Barber hit it. Barber fail ed, however, popping a high one to King. G. Clark went back on the hill for the Sioux In the game and passed along smoothly until the third. In this round, he whiffed two and then let Rickert walk. The manager followed it up with a steal, the first or the aay. King scored him with a left field sin gle and went to secondon the throw in. Dall continued the spasm by punch ing one to right which scored King and lie went to second on the throw in. Emory flew to Breen. The Sioux came back with one in the next frame. Reilly opened with a double. Hartman struck and Barber was sent in to hit for Neighbors. Barber got one which brought the score. Breen forced Barber and Wag Be whiffed. In the first of the fifth, Miller went to bat for Stem and popped out. Walley. a recruit catcher who woritea me seu ond game, struck out and Sage, sub striated for Clark, went out on a ground ball to Durbin. Score;. FIRST GAME. TOPEKA. Player AB. R. H.

At no time did the Kaws look dangerous. The score was compiled two runs at time until the fifth when four were pushed across. Buchanan's offerings were the most acceptable seen at the ball park this year. It started In the first when Reilly and Breen hit behind Andreas who was hit by Buchanan. .With a brace of sacrifices this gave two runs. The second was much of the same and so were succeeding Innings. In only three innings were the visitors unable to score. In the fifth they batted around. Reilly hit a home run over the fence in the ninth Inning with one man on, keeping up the carnage clear to the end. The locals could get only 7 hits. Score: TOPEKA Players AB. R. H. P. A. E.

Chicago Gets One Man to Third Two Innings. Chicago, Oct. 2. Chicago's pennant hopes were shattered again by New York, when the visitors shut the locals our. About the bust Chicago can ex pect now is to tie the eastetntis for the pennant, as New York is seven and one-half games in the lead and Chi cago has only seven remaining games on the schedule, while New York has 1 2 games to play. Sunday's srame was a pitchers' battle beween Marquard. who was easy for the locals in one of the previous games, and Richie, who won the opening game with ease. But Marquard showed his old form ar.d was almost invincible. He allowed the locals six scattered hits. while Richie, who held the easterners to three hits up t the eighth, weak ened and was hit hard. Seven hits in these two Innings net ted five runs for New York. Merkle opened the eighth with a double to the left field circus seats, which were set up for the expected overflow crowd, which did not come out. He was sac rificed to third and scored on Fletch er's double. Fletcher advanced a base on Myers out and scored on a single by Marquard. Not being satisfied with their lead, New York scored three more runs in the next inning. L. Doyle singled, but was forced by Snodgrass. Murray fanned and Merkle got a single. Her zog singled and Snodgrass counted. Fletcher doubled to ngnt center, sscur inir Aft-rklf. ajid Herzog and was him self put out when he tried to stretch his hit into a triple. Chicago got a man as far as third In the second inning and again in the seventh inning, in which all Dases were filled. Once again they got a man as far as third in the ninth. In this in ning Doyle and Hofman each stole a base, the visitors making no attempt to catch them. Score: R. H. E.

College of Emporia II o nips Away With 17 to 0 Score. COLLEGE SLEEPS ON Local Team Look Like Preps at First Practice. Coach Says Defeat May Revive AthUtic Spirit. Ever hear of the C. of E.? Looks like the Christian Endeavor, but it isn't. It isn't even Congregational. It's a Presbyterian college situated at Emporia and enrolls several hundred students who get a lot of college spirit. This explanation is made to preface the announcement that the boy football team from that institu tion completely outclassed Washburn on the local college gridiron Satur day afternoon, and won the game by a score of 17 to 0. Coach Driver's six plays" all went the way of a snowball in Dante's first chapter and on defense his proteges floundered over the field like a flock of fish. Strong men wept at the do ings of his ends and halves and wo men nearly swooned at the sickening performance of his line. Meanwhile Coaoh Bill Hargis boys ran hither and yon with the ball. sometimes kicking and sometimes passing; all with perfect ease and confidence. They knew they were going to win and the scoring of the points was only a matter of formal ity. Think, if you can, past Washburn grads and heros, think of tne coi lege of Emporia rooters coming to Topeka and betting hundreds of dol lars even money that they wouia win from the Blue! Realize, if you are not struck dead, that they did it by a blank end score of 17 to 0. Here la tho Answer. Search for an answer and you will find it in the action of the board of athletic control. They have so ar ranged it, that any team, whether from large or small school, need fear no defeat. Clamoring for entrance into the Missouri Valley conference they have elected to meet schools thrice their size and with six times the number of men on the latter's terms. Granting this advantage to the larger schools, they turn to the smaller schools of the state, but which have practically the same male enrollment, and otfer them the hand icap of playing freshmen while Wash burn uses no first year men. Under such conditions he local school can expect nothing but a string of de feats. i Good Thing Says Coach. This was the fi?st time in. the his tory of the world that the C. of E. ever beat Washburn. Last year was the first time they had ever scored. Yet Coach Driver says: "It was the best thing that could happen to the team this year. It ought to wake them up and bring some attention from the student body. I was cer tain of this defeat "No team will ever win without some incentive. This bunch feel no duty to the college. Fifteen or 20 men can not play football. They must have the support of their school. There were no .mass meeting and no announcements; no sort of a cheer for the boys and they feel no obli gations. Thig defeat, crushing as it may seem, Is the finest thing which could have happened for the school if athletics are ever to be revived here. The school must get together or it is a hopeless case. I believe they will and I am confident that we will have a winning team before the season is half over. It isn't hard to remember the his tory of the Yale team last season. A little of the same on a smaller scale is likely to be pulled through at Washburn this year. Driver has be gun his system of team building from the bottom. He hadn t gotten very far up by Saturday. Credit Due C. E. Team. All credit is due the light team of Emporia college. In every position except center, they had the same men who played them last season. It is the best team the school has ever turned out by over 100 per cent. Capt. Schabinger is one of the best quarterbacks in the state and strange as it may seem Is the largest man on the squad. He is the center and the life of the team and as a general is the rival of many in greater colleges. His ends, Wi.lis and Lyon, and halves Frazier and Engle and Oliver are adept in handling the forward pass and they worked this play re peatedly with excellent success. Wil lis proved a star at receiving passes at the same time making Cowglll and Bowman left ends for Washburn and Mclntyre at left half look like prep school freshmen. Schabinger made the first touchdown after 10 minutes of play going over on a trick play. Willis ran 70 yards for the second one 'in the second quarter from a forward pass. Smiley's attempt to tackle was inanimate. Frazier made the third touchdown on a wide end run in the third quarter. Schabinger kicked goals to the first and third touchdowns. To show how the luck hangs to the winners, both of these kicks struck the cross bar and flopped over. Two Chances to Score. Washburn had two beautiful chances to score and several lesser ones. Tho first good chance was when Mclntyro broke away and ran to the safety. With the field open on both sides of this lone man, Matty bore into him head first. ever attempting a stiff arm. a side step or even a straightaway race. ine second great chance was at tho close of the game and was lost be cause of Crumbine's ivory bean. Wash. burn had the ball on the first down six feet from the Emporia goal line. Em mons was at fullback, having replaced Rogers. The son of Swat sent the green and light Emmons against the line twice in succession and made up just five of those six feet. The final whistle blew with the ball one foot from the Emporia line. Washburn lost the ball six times on downs and Em poria half as many. Penalties were frequent and about evenly divided. Bishop of Washburn was disqualified for roughness ubt waa allowed to return at another period by Emporia's con sent. The officials gave excellent service and the game progressed with little de- lay and no wrangling. About 500 pie, 100 of them from Emporia, saw the game. The lineup: Washburn. Position. Emporia.

The Kan- ran Ap-Hpc and southwestern oroKe even Saturday with the first game of the season for the Aggies 6 to 6. The field was very muddy and both teams were handicapped to a great extent, but both did as well as they could un der the circumstances. The Aggies won the first kickoff and made their first and only touchdown within six minutes of play, kicking goal, scoring 6. They found the Ministers' line easy. In the second quarter the Aggies used fake plays for good gains, but failed to score. In this quarter Southwestern began to show up better and continued strong to the third quarter when they got the ball and made a sensational run across the field, making their first and only touchdown, kicking goal, which tied thfl snnrfi. The Aggies' playing In this third quarter far excelled the Ministers and luck in erettine- hold of the ball and getting a big start down the field was responsible for Soutnwesrerns oniy score. The Ministers found the Aggie lines and formations hard to break up. The fourth quarter ended without any thing of particular note with the ball in the Aere-ie territory. fhnt the new coach. Lowman, Is getting in his work there was much evidence and If there had been a good field the evidence would have been greater and more comprehensible. The Aggie eleven proves to be up ana ao Ine- and show evidence of much "pep," which seems to be Coach Lowman's pet word on the gridiron. With Sat urday's selection the Aggie team will prove to be as good as ever, notwith standing that most of the material is practically new and hard work has been needed In getting the team In as good shape as it is now.

Saw Their Way Out of Cells In Small Prison. PLANS ARE WELL LAID Quarter Inch Hope and Blankets Used in Getaway. After Cutting Cell Bars Prison ers KemoTO Window Grating. Marysville, Kan., Oct. 2. Neai Mulcahy and Daniel Carney, convicted of three bank burglaries at the May term of court, sawed through the bars of their cell in the county jail Sunday and made their escape. These men were in the county jail awaiting an or der from the court to be taken to the penitentiary to serve their sentence for burglary of the two Watervllie banks and the Beattie State bank last spring. Mulcahy and Carney were confined in the upstairs cell of the Jail. Five other prisoners, including- Henry Hoerr, convicted of the burglary of the Beat tie bank, and Alex Meunard, who is awaiting trial on the same charge, were lodged In the down stairs cells. Sheriff Sullivan made a tour of the Jail at 2 o'clock and all the prisoners were in their bunks. Shortly after Deputy Munson, who had been guarding the jail at nights, made a like inspection. The escape took place between then and morning. These two prisoners knew well the second floor of the Jail. With saws they cut out two cf the bottom rods of the cell. They used soap, butter or grease to assist In the cutting and help lessen the sound. Wriggling through this small aperture they went down the corridor to the southeast window of the building, where they cut the wires, holding the heavy screen to the bars and then let the screen down by means of a quarter inch rope. They then cut out the upper portion of two bars and by means of a blanket taken from their bed let themselves down to the ground and escaped through the alleys. The jail breaking was discovered at 7 o'clock when Sheriff Sullivan went to take the prisoners their breakfas-. The Beattie bloodhounds were tele phoned for, but could not be secured, as they had been taken to Alexandria, Neb., and put on the trail of persons who had broken into a hardware store there. The prisoners who escaped are de scribed by the officers as follows: Mulcahy, five feet eleven inches, will weigh 154 pounds, long face, long nose, light sandy hair, bluish-gray eyes, long tapering hands with the little finger on the left hand cut off below the second Joint, big mustache, forty years old.

Madero, whom the people of Mexico elected president, declares there is no doubt that his candidate tor the vice presidency, Jese Pino Suarez of Yu catan, also has been elected. At the headquarters of the Catholic party Gabriel Fernandez Somellera, 'chairman of the central committee, said he believed Francisco De La Barra had been elected vice president. "We have won by a big majority in the capital," -Madero said. "We have carried almost every dis 1 trict for De La Barra." said Somellera. The only thing that appeared rca sonably certain was that Francisco i Vasquez Gomez, independent candidate for the v-.ee presidency, was snowed under in the federal district. No disorders had been reported neif. Naturally I am gratified that the people should have elected me for the presidency," Macero said, "but I am more than pleased that the people have rroved mv asserticn that they were able to hold open elections. Personal. y I expected no trouble. The passing ot Gen. Bernardo Reyes removed the last chance for disorders." Madero announced that at least one of the present cabinet. Ernesto Madero, the minister of finance, would remain. Minister Madero demurred, it is said, on the ground that it might raise the cry of nepotism, but today he consented to retain he portfolio. The portfolio of foreign relations has been offered to De La Barra, but he expressed his unwillingness to accept. At a n'clnrk Madero's central commit tee claimed 70 per cent of the district's vote for the Madero-Pino Suarez ticket. A third of the vote remained to be counted. The electoral college will have no fewer than twenty thousand delegates. Party leaders announced that if the Vote indicates defeat they will not ivease working to change this in the vote of the electors October 15. Mount ed police and rurales patrolled the streets in the districts where the popu lation is largely of the lower element, but they were little needed.

JuSBBOHS SPEAKS UP. Cardii:al Opposes Popular Election of Senators and Recall. Baltimore, Oct. 2. In his jubilee ermon delivered at the cathedral here f'unday. Cardinal Gibbons expressed inqualified disapproval of three im portant political propositions which jjave commanded a large share of pub ic attention: namely, the election of Snited States senators by the direct 'te of the people, the referendum oposal. providing for the submission of legislative enactments to the voters !'r ratification, and the recall of the 8 dietary. 1 "The election of senators bv the K)tes of the people involves the de struction of a strong bulwark against i'tangerous popular encroachments," ihe cardinal said. "If you can not i-onfide in our legislatures, you can not Lonlide in human government, nor in human nature Itself. 1 "To give to the masses the right of annulling the acts of the legislature, is to substitute mob law for established f "To recall a judge because his de cisions do not meet with popular ap proval, is an insult to the dignitv, the independence and the self respect of our judiciary."

Atlanla, Ca. The subject suggested by the decision of the Santa Fe to put in service an excess fare train is one of the most important to which the passenger men can give consideration, says the Rail way Age-Gazette. It is a remarkable fact that while there has been for years a progressive differentiation in the kind of passenger service rendered by the railways of the United States, there has been no corresponding differentia tion in the charges made for it. On most roads there is one rate for the passenger who rides in the day coach. If he should choose to ride in a sleep ing or parlor car he pays in addition the sleeping or parlor car rate. If an observation car be added the passen gers in the standard sleeping cars get the use of it without any additional charge. If, further, a buffet smoking car be added they get the use of it also without any additional charge. On most roads the passenger likewise pays the same rate whether he rides in a sleeping car on a slow train which has neither an observation nor a buf fet smoking car or travels on a much faster train on which there are both of these kinds of cars. The only roads on which excess fares heretofore have been charged for extra service are the lines between Chicago and New York the extra fares in these cases being based on differences in schedule time. Obviously, the passenger on the fast train equipped with an observation car. a buffet smoking car, a valet. barber, a maid, a victrola, etc., and who, perhaps, is served a table d'hote dinner which costs the railway a good cieai more than he pays for it. is given a service which costs the railway more and is wr-"i more to him than is that given on i ordinary and much slower train: aid there is no logic in charg ing the same rates on both. The Uni ted States is the only leading country in the world where the flat passenger rate has obtained. In England tnere are three classes of passenger serice and rates, not including working men's rates, etc. In Prussia there are four classes of rates and service, and in France, three classes. In Hungary and Austria there are three classes of ex press trains and three classes of ac commodation trains, on all of which the rates are different. The result of the charging of flat passenger rates in the United States has been that for some service more has been charged than it has been worth, and in other cases more service has been given than has been charged for. A more" scien tific differentiation of passenger charges could be made which would bring in greater revenue to the roads, and at the same time more nearly give to all persons service of the kind and cos that they want. ESGISEERS START THE SURVEYS. Real Party Sets Out Over Winnipeg, Salina Gulf Route. Salina, Kan., Oct. 2. The Winnipeg. Salina&Gulf railroad survey party be gan work on the line between Salina and Lindsborg today. A. B. Thurston of Kansas City, who will be the chief of the party, arrived this morning anri he party immediately started for a point in the country four miles south of town where it will pitch its first camp. George D. Bryson of Long Beach. Miss., transitman, arrived later in the day and immediately left for the camp. This afternoon Arthur Harvey, a civil engineer of Kansas City, in company with Draftsman Johntz of Lawrence left Salina running the level between here and the camp. The street in front of the Salina offices presented quite a busy sight this morning when the party was preparing to leave. It took three heavily loaded wagons to carry all the tents, instruments, groceries, supplies and so on that had been pro vided for the men who will compose the party. There will be fourteen men in this party and other surveying gangs will be sent out within a few days. IXTERtHBAX IS COMPLETED. Last Spike and First Train on Line Between Newton and Wichita. Newton, Kan., Oct. 2. The first train over the interurban arrived in Newton Saturday. It was exactly 10:47 when the last spike was driven in the interurban line between Newton and Wichita. This was at a distance of about a mile and one-half from the corner of Main and Fifth streets. When the spike was driven the train started for Newton and arrived here at the time men tioned. It will not take the interurban cars as long to make the first run to town as it took the construction train to make the run from the place where the last spike was driven in the rail con nection to north and south ends of the line. The construction train had to stop while men shoveled dirt off the track along Fifth street where the track was laid some time ago and had become buried. MO. P.

The Missouri Pacific average of trains on time was much higher than the av erage of any of the other lines op erating between Kansas City and St. Louis.

Chicago, Oct. 2. Dr. Harry Elgin Webster, a Rush Medical college grad uate student and interne at the poli clinic hospital, in a confession to the police late Sunday, admitted that he mjrdered one of his two young wives, Bessie Kent Webster, of Chicago, in the woods ten miles from Dixon, 111., September 16. The police declare that the motive for the crime was Webster's desire to hide from his first wife, Zoe Varney Webster, of Cedar Rapids, la., the fact that he was a bigamist. He had mar ried the two women within one week last January. The accidental discovery of Bessie Kent's body, Friday, almost two weeks after she had been killed, was follow ed by identification Saturday and the arrest of Webster. Dr. Webster was arrested at the hos pital shortly after he had left Zoe Varney Webster, wife No. 1, at a down town hotel, where he had attempted to explain his marital duplicity to her. "I married Bessie Kent under her promise that she would divorce me im mediately after the wedding took place," said Webster. "She then refus ed to get a divorce and that was the beginning of all the trouble. Webster stated that he told his sec end wife of the marriage at Cedar Rapids, but she still refused to agree to a divorce. In August he brought suit for aivorce in the Chicago courts. The case was thrown out because of in sufficient evidence. Following this unsuccessful attempt to end the affair, said Webster, he met his second wife on September 14 at the hospital as he was preparing to go to the home of his parents at Dixon, for his vacation. He said that she begged to go with him, but that he did not want her to mset his parents. The prisoner then said that he spent the night of September 14 with wife No. 2 at a north side rooming house. The next afternoon he started for Dixon and, to his surprise, Bessie Kent went on the same train. The next morning Webster hired a horse and buggy and with Mrs. Web ster No. 2, drove north of Dixon. Ho said that when he started his only ob ject was to have an uninterrupted talk with her and attempt to secure for her an agreement to get a divorce. On this drive the two quarreled and the phj-sician alleges that his wife struck him and then jumped from the buggy crying that she would see his parents and expose his life with her. "When my wife jumped from the buggy," said. Webster, "I threw a suit case at her and then I jumped from the buggy and gave chase. She stumbled near a ravine and fell. "I pulled out my pocket knife and stabbed her four or five times in the back of the neck as she lay on the ground." .a.. Webster returned the horse and bug gy to the Dixon liveryman and 20 rnln utes later had taken a train for Chi cago. He did not go to see his parents in Dixon and believed that his visit would remain unknown!- The police are searching for the oc cupants of a mysterious yellow auto mobile which was rented by two men and two women, said to be from Chi cago, the day before the body of Mrs. Bessie Kent Webster was fo;ind In the woods near Dixon, 111., stabbed to death by her husband.

They day after the alleged murder the automobile was seen in Dixon, but one of the women seen the day before was missing. One of the men in the machine was addressed as "Doctor," according to the employes of a garage where the party stopped for a supply of gasoline. Police Captain Baer believes the big touring car was hired in Chicago and that Dr. Webster may have been in the car, despite the. physician's statement to the contrary made in his confes sion. Captain Baer had copies made of Dr. Webster s 10.000 word confession and forwarded them to the authori ties of Ogle county at Oregon, 111. In a careful study of the details of the physician's story the police declare there are many obvious discrepencies. But despite these, the police believe that Dr. Webster s story is substan tially true. Three Chicago detectives left for Oregon, 111., today to be pres ent at the coroner's inquest. W. E. Varny, father of Mrs. Zoe Varney Webster, the first wife of Dr. Henry E. Webster, arrived here early this morning and went to the hospital where his daughter is being cared for. Mr. Varney, who lives at Cedar Rap ids, was notified in a telegram from Police Inspector Hunt of Dr. Web ster's confession and he immediately left for Chicago with the license is sued for the marriage of his daughter and Dr. Webster. Big Crowd at Oregon. Oregon, 111., Oct. 2. A crowd of sev eral hundred men and boys surround ed the county jail here today in an ef fort to get a glimpse of Dr. Henry E. Webster, under arrest for the murder of his wife. Dr. Webster, in custody of State's Attorney Emerson and sev eral deputy sheriffs, arrived here from Chicago late last night. The prisoner was physically exhausted after his four-hour ordeal of questioning by the Chicago police and fell asleep shortly after being placed in a cell. He did not awaken until after 7 o clock this morning, when he ate a hearty breakfast and said he felt much refreshed. He declined to discuss his case early in the day, explaining that he told everything he knew to the police Sun day. 'Shall I break the bad news to Jus tine?" "Not this moment.

No Mail Orders Accepted for These Made -to-Measure Suits or Skirts DIVORCE COMES HIGH. Chanler's Marital Experience With Cavalieri Cost Him $100,000. New York, Oct. 2. Lina Cavalieri has accepted a cash sum for all claims upon Robert Winthrop Chanler, his income and his property, real and personal. The exact amount of the settlement is not definitely known, but it is more than $75,000 and probably something less than J100.000. That the beautiful diva finally had consented to follow the advice of her lawyers and accept a cash settlement, thereby renouncing all claims in the now famous ante-nuptial settlement, was told yesterday by one of the coun sel involved. The informant further said "I understand that Sidney Harris, counsel for Mr. Chanler, went abroad for the purpose of closing the negotia tions and settling the case. In this he has been successful. When the French court opens early this month the neces sary papers will be filed and then Mr. Chanler or Cavalieri, or both, will get a divorce. "The full details of the settlement I cannot give. I understand, however, that Cavalieri refused to accept the first offer made by Mr. Harris, which is generally understood to have been $75,000. How much it was raised I do not know, but I do not believe the final settlement calls for as much as $100, 000." UNVEIL ORERLIN MONUMENT. Shaft Raised in Honor of Pioneers Killed by Indians. Oberlin, Kan., Oct. 2. The stately granite monument erected by the state of Kansas and Decatur county in memory of the 19 pioneers killed in the Indian massacre of 187 8, the last Indian Taid in Kansas, was unveiled here Saturday. Not only northwest Kansas sent her representatives here for the occasion, but eastern Colorado and western Nebraska likewise partici pated in the memorial ceremonies. The Old Settlers' association had charge of the program. At 1:30 an address was delivered by W. L. Brown of Kingman, Kan., replete with admiration for the early settlor of western Kansas. Music was furnished by tne Oberlin Cornet band, under the leadership of Prof. F. B. Patton. After the program in the park, the great crowd assembled at the local cemetery to witness the unveiling cere monies. Miss Lois Street, daughter of W. D. Street, a Kansas pioneer and Indian fighter of this city, and whose mother was captured by the Indians, unveiled the beautiful column. She was assisted by Miss Mabel Elson, whose grandfather, J. G. Smith, was killed by the redskins when. 3 3 years ago, they swept down the Sappa and Beaver valleys in their war paint and with hearts of vengeance. During the year of 1878 a band of about 400 Cheyenne Indians, under Chief Dull Knife, escaped from their reservation in the Indian Territory and started across the state of Kansas. They arrived in this vicinity the last of September and spent two or three days of plunder in Decatur county. It is thought that only a portion of the band are guilty of the massacre here, but it Is known that the entire band was on the trail of the white man. They tortured and killed every man Tailoring Exclusive Remember that all you have to buy is the cloth the price for making includes all linings, findings, and all the trimmings shown on any model which you select.

If Hades is anything like the mov ing pictures of Dante's Inferno that are now being displayed in Topeka. it is an excellent locality to fight shy of.

Having- dabbled in harem skirts, hobbie skirts and every other possible kind of a skirt, the Parisian modistes are insisting that the time has finally come -when the old fashioned hoop skirts are to be the real thing for the feminine Slaves of fashion.

Dick Hopkins is a. candidate for the Republican congressional honors in Seventh district. So is "W. D. Harry. And isn't it too bad that Mr. Martin, the other candidate in the field, is not named Tom?

Fisher, secretary of the interior, says he intended no slight for Senator Brlstow in his remarks at Hutchinson.

One of Italy's power ful dreadnoughts had not the slight est trouble In blowing to smithereens one of Turkey's little torpedo boats. A glorious naval encounter surely. Presumably the Italians at home are enthusing over tha superiority of their country's erms with a special and monster macaroni barbecue. Weather conditio in these parts of late have a resemblance to Dante's Inferno as displayed in the moving pictures which gave Topekans such a creepy feeling last week. One day conditions are the same as they seem in one of the localities in the infernal regions where fiery pits are working overtime, and the next day is like the -infernal compartment next door to the furnace room where the evil spirits are forced to exist In a lake of ice. With two big buildings devoted ex clusively to the purpose, Topeka's high school equipment seems to be of ex tensive proportions. But it is over crowded nonetheless, and a large ad dition to one of the buildings is im perative. The popularizing of the high school courses is undoubtedly re sponsible for this encouraging con dition of affairs. No longer is the curriculum of the Topeka high school built for the sole purpose of preparing the pupils for entrance to the colleges. THE JtARRtMAN STRIKE. Apparently ill-advised and ill-timed is the big strike that has been brought into existence on the railroad lines that am still known as the Harriman sys tem. It may be the torch that will fan the flame of a general war between their employees and the other large railroad systems of the Country. Such an occurrence Would be calamitous. The commerce, the industries of the nation would be Well-nigh paralysed, and at a period when they are least able to stand such a shock. It seems that the Harriman shop employees in the present strike have no grievances because of their hours of labor or their rates of pay. Their dif ference with the officials of the Harri man system surrounds the refusal of the latter to recognize or treat with the new Federation of Shop Employees, a new union formed of the several sepa rate unions in which the various classes of shop employees are associated. Such a union as this federation would cer tainly be a powerful weapon in the hands of the employees of any railroad system, under present conditions, a railroad can handle without seriously crippling its service a Strike oft the part of any One of the several unions, whose members are in its service. But with all these unions combined ijitl one federation and making the cause or grievance of one of its units the grievance Of the whole roster of unions, a situation is presented to a railroad system that is serious. That is prob ably why the Harriman officials have hesitated to grant the recognition de manded, Without discussing the merits of the reasonableness or unreasonableness of this demand, it may turn out that Har riman employes have attempted to bite off a bigger hunk than they can chew. With crops having approached any but bumper proportions, and with the gen eral business conditions throughout the entire country scarcely approaching the normal, the freight railroad traffic in the immediate future is bound to be lighter than usual. This puts the Har riman system in the best possible posi tion to meet a strike. Not only that but during the past few months thous ands of railroad shopmen have been laid out of work temporarily. The cost of living is about as high as it has been for the past few years, higher in some essential particulars. The shopmen who have been out of work for some time must be feeling a few pinches. They may, as the Harriman officials suggest, be Willing to take the place of the strikers. And if the unions on the Harriman system should lose out in the fight they have undertaken organ ized labor in the railroad world will have received a staggering blow. Undoubtedly, this strike has hot gone far enough as yet to develop into a strike to the death. Perhaps it can be brought to a sudden and satisfac tory ending. Certainly every agency should be used to bring one about. This is a duty that the Harriman officials, the union leaders and everybody else concerned owe to their own interests. It is also a duty they owe to the public. Strikes that are Concerned with better ing the conditions and wages of work ingrhen to reasonable levels seem to be essential weapons that labor needs to protect its interests. Strikes that hinge on abstract and technical questions haven't so much to recommend them. PROGRESS OF ITKITED STATES. "Statistical Record of the Progress of the United States, 1800-1911" is the title of a small document Just issued by the Bureau of Statistics, department of commerce and labor. It pictures in statistical form conditions in the commercial, financial, industrial and transportation systems of the United States at brief intervals since the year 1S00, down to, and in many instances including the year 1911. In those cases in which the subjects considered are measured by governmental fiscal year periods, the figures for the fiscal year 1911 are Included; in those in which calendar year periods are used, of course, statements Can only termi nate with the calendar year 1910. Among the interesting facts shown are that the area of continental United States was 843,255 Square miles in 1S00, advancing to 1,734,630 square miles in 1810; to 2,995,536 Square miles in 1850; and 3,026,789 square miles in 1853, since which date no change in area is shown. The popu- ation. which was 5 1-3 million in 1800, was 93 million in 1911. Public debt, which was 83 million dollars in 1800, reached 2,675 million dollars less cash in treasury In 1S65, the figures of 1911 being 1,015 million dollars. The per capita debt, which was $15.68 in 1800, and In 1865 $76.98, Is In 1911 $10.83. The Interest charge per capita, which amounted to 64 cents in 1800, and $4.12 in 1866, was in 1911, 23 cents. and the total annual interest charge, which was In 1868, 146 million dollars, was in 1911, 1 1-3 million dollars. Money in circulation, stated as 26 H million dollars in 1S00, was in 1911, $3, 228.627, 002, and the per capita cir culation, which was in 1800 $4.99, Was In 1911, $34.35. Deposits in all banks in the country cannot be shown earlier than in 1875, at which date they are set down as a little over 2 billion dol lars, and in 1910, over 15 billion dol lars. The number of depositors in savings banks in 1820, the earliest year for which the figures can be shown, was a little less than 9 thou sand; and In 1910, over 9 million. Gov ernment receipts, which amounted to $2.04 per capita in 1800, Were In 1866, $14.66. and in 1911, $7.45, Or about one-half what they were in 1866. Ex ports of domestio merchandise wh!w amounted to 32 million dollars in value In 1800, were over 2 billion dol lars in 1E11; and imports, which amounted to 81 million dollars In 1800, were 14 billion in 1911. Many other subjects of this charac ter stated by the document In ques tion, include details of imports and ex ports by great groups and grand dlvt sions, and principal ports through which shipped; the production of prin cipal articles, such as wheat, corn, cotton, coal, sugar, copper, etc., from 1800 to 1910; the attendance in public schools, and sums expended for that work; postal receipts and expendi tures; and a few pages devoted to monetary and commercial conditions In the principal countries of the world.

Some advice to Professor Dyche from Editor Miller of the Buckin Banner: The announcement has been made that several cars of fish will be planted" in the Kansas streams this winter. The fish warden should have the bed of the Arkansas sprinkled be fore planting any in that stream be fore they become strangled in the dust This is almost too much. Bucklin has a school organization known as The Muh club. Nor is that all.

And so Alexander Caldwell is still alive! Not only alive, but in active business and agile enough to act as one of the reception committee which will look after President Taft when he visits Leavenworth. How long has it been since his name has been in the papers? But there was a time when it was in the papers, often enough, for Alevander Caldwell was very much irt evidence half a century or so ago. Hhe fought irt the Mexican war, for one thing, but that was more than half a century ago. Then he came to Leavenworth and or ganized one of the largest overland transportation companies the world ever saw, employing thousands of men Then he was president of the company that built the first railroad from Kan sas City to Leavenworth, president of tne company that bought from the government the Delaware Reserve which contains thousands of acres of land in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. Then he was a senator of the United States. And then he was for gotten. At least by everybody outside of Leavenworth. There he has been left in remembrance, and in harness, for he has been president of the Com mercial club for years and is still pres ident of the First National bank. But it looks queer to see his name in the papers again. Iola Register. ME.N'TALITTAJJD HATS. Take it from the women themselves, their mentalizing is increasing, says Walter Johnson in the Battle Creek Jvews. They are growing able to perform feats of mind that a few generations ago would have been impossible for mem. As to the reason, they will scarcely agree, but one scientist de Clares it is because their hats are growing lighter. Five years ago the "creations" which women wore as hats were of enormous weight. They acted virtually as "lids which kept the trains under them ob scured and pressed down, this author ity asserts. But as the hats are grow ing lighter the women's minds are be ginning to expand. The habit of going bareheaded is also adding to the brain relief. If "the less Weight the more brains' holds good all the way through, there are still many suggestions to be made. By the application of the rule, the fact that many invariably wear their hair cut short, probably has much ef feet on their mental ability, and the bald-headed man has the best chance of all. The only chance the men have, therefore, of keeping themselves su penor mentally to femininity Is to wear bald heads. No woman who had any brains to boast of woulu sacri- lice her hirsute adornments to the United States constitution requiring hats to weigh five pounds and no less. By this means the women would im mediately be put back on their old Diane of mental incapacity and the superiority of the masculine would re main unassailed.-Hutchinsoh News. THE VALUE OF TWO ItEAS. Nothing is more valuable to any man than the possession of two or more ideas. This is c World of comparisons only. The ultimate of nothing is known. One thing can only be de scribed in terms of Its likeness or un- likeness to other things, and right there is where the 'two or more ideas give you wortH. It doctor knew of only the ailment called appendicitis, he would be seeing sufficient symp toms of that disease in all patients to cause him to diagnose every case as that of a troubled appendix. Speciali zation on one thing is good and fine only when you know enough about every other thing to keep you out of the "rut." It may be all right to keep your nose to the grindstone, but we have always doubted the Value of keeping It to the grindstone. In other Words, we believe In a once and a while change of grindstones.

Frankfort Index. r FROM OTHER PENS WOMEN JURORS REVOLT. Reform Of the current practice In the selection of juries has no lack of earn est advocates, but reform In the treat ment of juries deserves more attention than it has received. Probably the re volt of women against jury service in the state of Washington will bring the question prominently before the public. This rather than damage to the cause of equal suffrage, which so many of its opponents predict, would be the logical outcome of the failure of the experi ment with women jurors.- Of 23 fair voters who were summoned in one jury panel in Seattle, 22 pleaded the privilege of their sex as giving them exemption. The one woman who was willing to serve in the trial of cases admitted frankly that she needed the money; but she was excused by the judge because she apprehended the inconvenience" of locking her ud in a room with It men. The real trouble is admittedly this close confining of Juries, and especial ly In protracted murder cases. The en lightened example of Justice Dowling in allowing tne Thaw jurors to go home at night has not been generally followed. In Tacoma the jury room has been divided by a curtain so as to separate the Bexes in case a mixed jury is locked up over night. Such a condi tion of affairs must be odious to any sensitive woman. Philadelphia. Press. o PULLMAN PORTER VALUATION. It will surprise no intelligent person to learn that a Pullman porter values his position at $5,000. Claiming that by reason or a railroad accident he is no longer able to pursue this lucrative vocation one such has sued for dam ages in that amount. Counsel for the railroad will doubtless submit that the claim is excessive, since the wage of the porter is only $30 a month. And if, as appears, the plaintiff Is capable of engaging in another occupation the suit should be dismissed altogether. Thirty dollars a month is not hard to pick up, provided a man is not addict ed to had habits and is willing to work. The plaintiff, or course, anticipates the raising of just such points. His bill sets forth that his income, with negligible variation, was $100 a month In addition to t-.e wage from tips, of course. That is bound to put a dif ferent complexion on the matter in the eyes of a competent jury. The Pullman corporation cultivates to a nicety a system which imposes a con siderable part of its payroll on the traveling public. It may not be so easy for a railroad, sued on the ground of loss of Pullman employment through .its negligence, to have Its lia bility ftiejtaured "by the Pullman rule. Providence Journal.

Richard and his father had really never agreed. Their antagonism wor ried gentle Mrs. Cameron. She loved her son, and she loved her husband, and their continued quarrels mystified her. "Dick is a dear boy," she Would say to her husband, and when he would grunt and growl she would venture, "Perhaps you don't understand him." "Your father is a fine man," she would tell Richard, and when the boy flamed and fumed she would sigh, "Perhaps you are too much like him. You both have the same high tempers. and that is the cause of all the trouble." When the Chalmers came to live in the big house next door to the Cam erons there was more trouble. Rich ard's father wanted Richard to be nice to them. "There is plenty of money and influence over there, and they have a daughter. You can't do better than see something of her, Dick." I know plenty Of girls," Richard asserted, "without having the one next door thrown at my head." "Who's throwing her at your head? the old man demanded. "Oh, dear!" Mrs. Cameron threw up her hands. "She really seems a very sweet girl." "Well, I don't care to know her, Richard said. "It is bad enough to see her all the time. She's either sitting on her porch or playing tennis on the side lawn, and I can't get away from her unless I stay away from home al together." He flung himself Out of the room. and his mother looked at his father deprecatingly. If he wouldn t be so positiv-- about things, but he's Just like you; you never could stand it to have anyone tell you what you ought to do." "well, he s an obstinate young pig. was the explosive response. "I'd like to see him marry that girl next door, Mary." She s a nice little thing," Mrs. Cameron agreed, "but if you want Dick to marry her, you've got to take another way from the one you are pursuing now, Richard." But Richard, Sr., would not listen. "He ought to be made to do the things we want him to do," he said. You didn't do the things your father wanted you to do," his wife stated. "If yoi: had, you wouldn't have married me, Richard." Her husband smiled at her. "We got ahead of the old man. didn't we?" he said. "There, you see," his wife said ear nestly. 'You like the adventure of it. Richard, yet you're expecting your boy to submit to a prearranged marriage." That s right," her husband said suddenly, "but seriously, Mary, my heart is set on this marriage. His wi'e nodded. "The best way will be to make Richard think you don't want it, then he'll be crazy to do it." I see." Mr. Cameron rose and walked through the wide windows of the living room to the porch. Down by the sundial in the lower part of the garden Richard sat smoking and sulk ing. On the other side of the hedge a young girl played at tetherball. She was lithe, graceful little creature with shining hair. As his wife joined him, Cameron said, "Can't you suggest something, Mary Have you talked it over with Mr. Chalmers?" she asked. 'Yes, and he is pleased to death at the idea. He says Dick's just the sort of fellow he wants his girl to marry." Mrs. Cameron shook her head. That's like a pair of blundering men," she said. "We don't live in France, my dear. Young Americans are in clined to believe that marriages are made in heaven, not in offices." I suppose," he hesitated. If Dick thought I didn't want him to do It he'd move heaven and earth to do it. I think he would," she agreed. "Why don't you hatch up some politi cal squabble with Mr. Chalmers, and see how Dick takes it?" I can think of something better than that," her husband growled. That night at the dinner table Cam eron took a letter out or his pocket and tossed it over to his wife to read. "I call that something of an Imposi tion," was his statement. The letter was from Chalmers. It stated that the noise of the automobile in his neighbor's garage was trying to his nerves. It waked him In the morn ings. He requested that It be stop ped. He might have put It more pleas antly," Cameron said. "I never knew him to be cranky before." Young Richard looked up. "I guess it's our auto," he f-aid, "and we'll make all the noise we want." "That's right," said Cameron, "and will write him to that effect." Out of the correspondence grew a decided coolness between the two friends. Even Mrs. Cameron was puzzled to know if, the trouble was a bona fide one or merely the result of a plot. Richard, however, had no doubts. Father certainly has a grouch on his j next-door neighbor," he confided to his mother; "but it oughtn't to make him rude to the girl. He snapped out such a gruff 'Good morning' to her that I felt positively sorry for her." The climax came when Cameron chased Dulcie Chalmer's white cat across the lawn. He threw a. stone at her, carefully sending it in the wrong direction, for Cameron had a soft spot in his heart for cats. Across the hedge Richard apologized later for his fath er's act. I don't know what i coming over him. Miss Chalmers," he said. "I think he has a grouch against your father." Thev were such good friends," the girl sighed. "It seems a pity doesn't it?" "It is a pity," Dick said. "But it needn't make us any less good friends, need It, Miss Dulcie?" "Why, of course not," she said. Th,at was the beginning; but as the summer went on the two young people found themselves Involved in a most romantic situation. The two fathers give up all intercourse with each other. This led to delightful clandestine meet ings; moonlight and starlight saw them whispering together in the gar age or at the foot of the rose garden. The summer winds heard their tows, and the birds sang a chorus to their love song. When they were well out of sight, and of hearing, Richard, Sr., would shake hands with old man Chalmers across the hedge and they would chuckle over the success of their pre tended feud. But Mrs. Cameron was worried. "The next thing you know, we'll have an elopement, and I want Dick and Dulcie married decently In church." "What difference does It make, so they are married?" her husband de manded. "It will make a whole lot of differ ence in their future," said Mrs. Cam eron. "You and I ran away, Richard, because there was no other way out of it. but Dulcie has a right to white satin and a wedding veil. I have always re gretted that I didn't have a chance to wear one, though I ve never regretted my marriage." "Well, we'll bring things to a head tonight." said Cameron, laughing. The sundial was a pretty place for the lovers to meet. It was far enough from the house so that, after the shad ows fell, it'made a safe retreat. There was a stone bench, too, with a high screen of vines behind it, and here Dulcie and Dick plighted their vows unheard, unseen. THere the two irate fathers found them. "Dulcie," said Chalmers, "what does this mean?" "It means, sir," said Dick, standing very stiff and straight, "that I want to marry your daughter." "Well, of all things," said Richard, Sr. "You ran away with mother," said the boy stoutly, "and I don't think you have ever repented your bargain." "That has nothing to do with this case, said Cameron. vvny, it is pre posterous that you should expect to marry Dulcie Chalmers, Richard, when her father and I are sworn enemies." "Sworn enemies," echoed Chalmers. It was at this moment that Mrs. Cameron crosred the lawn swiftly and appeared before them. "Richard, she said, earnestly, going up to her son, "you love Dulcie, don't you "Yes." "And Dulcie loves you?" She took the girl's hand In hers. "It is very beautiful, but I think the most beautiful part of it will be that these two stubborn men will become friends again." She turned to them. "Surely you will make up for the sake of your children." They were smiling in the darkness, but Dick and Dulcie did not know. "I shall run away with her if you don't consent, sir," was Richard's final statement. "A chip off the old block," chuckled Cameron. "Well, If you put it that way, I suppose I shall have to say Yes,' Dick. (Copyright, 1911, by As sociated Literary Press.) The "Flirt Cop" Beaten. Miss Fay FJvans, "the flirt cop" who caused the arrest of nine so-called mashers" in three days, has not only lost her Job on the police force but has been thrashed by the infuria-ted wife of one of the Mleged mashers. Miss Ekvans was walking down Main street this afternoon when a woman halted her. "Are you Fay Evans?" "Yes." "Take that, you hussy, and that, and that," cried the woman, beating the "flirt cop" on the head with an umbrella. The police say the "lady detective" begged for mercy, but the woman, whose husband was fined $30 in police court Tuesday, on conviction of having ogled Miss Fay, kept on striking until he umbrella broke. It is said that the wife, who is cer tain Miss Fay ogled her husband, had intended to buy a $25 bonnet. Chief of Police Sebastian, wondering how she had effected so many arrests, sent for Miss Evans. She looked like a section of a rainbow. She wore a hat the size of a peck measure; she had on a light-colored lace dress which was short enough to display her white shoes and the ankles of her white stockings; the sleeves of her black silk wrap were lined with flaming red silk; its wide collar and cuffs were of tha same hue. Staring at her the dazzled chief blushed. "It's very plain to me now." said the chief, "That get-up would make most any man stare. You are dis charged." Los Angeles dispatch to the New York World. She Claims Parasol Found In Shark. Because her parasol dropped in New York harbor, swallowed by a shark and then carried to the Delaware breakwater, where the shark was cap tured by James Keyes, a light vessel boatman, and the parasol cut from the stomach. Is no reason that Miss Laura Dorsey, of Saugatuck, Conn., should give up hope of getting the parasol back, and. according to a letter from her, she has no idea of relinquishing her claim. Keyes caught the shark some time ago and was astonished when opening it to find a parasol as a part of its former diet. Miss Dorsey heard of the finding, and yesterday sent word of the loss of the parasol from the steamer Richard Peck in the East River. Although there Is but little left of the original parasol except the ribs and some of the cover and handle, it will be sent her. Lewes (Del.) dispatch to New York World. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

NEW OFFICIALS ARE TV. Wichita Recalled Officers Are Now Out of Job. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 2. Mayor W. W. Minick and Commissioner John Harts took their seats as city officials Saturday. The ordinance prohibiting moving picture shows on Sunday was passed by the commissioners at the first meeting. PEDESTRIANS RESCUE DIGGER. Sewer Cave-in Unnoticed Until Groans Were Heard. Atchison, Kan., Oct. 2. Walking down an alley here, Charles Wike and Harry Cessny were startled by hearing faint groans coming out of the ground, where they could see no one. Looking to one side they saw where there had been a cave-in of a sewer ditch, and appe- m foods. k for Early Buyers moderate profits. uiiln F. Van Horne. they immediately went to digging. They rescued Frank Hagen, who had been buried under two feet of earth by the cave-in. He was doubled up like a jack knife when found and was unconscious, but he was revived and seems little the worse for his experi ence, except for sore and strained mus cles. No one had seen the cave-in and Hagen would have died had not the men heard his smothered groans. FIND EACH OTHER AT LAST. Fopty-two Years Ajro Brother and Sis ter Separated. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 2. W. W. Brownhill of this city has received a letter from his sister, Mrs. Sarah A. Ingraham of San Jose, Cal., from whom he had not heard in forty-two years. In 184 0 Mr. Brownhill was engineer for the Union Pacific railroad and was located at Junction City. That year his sister visited him there and from there she went to Pueblo. That is the last he heard from her until he re ceived this letter. They lost track of each other, neither knowing where the other was. Mr. Brownhill is now on the retired list of the Rock Island company. He will procaDly make a trip to Califor nia within the next few months to vis it his sister. PROGRESSIVES ORGANIZE.

Secret Service Man of State Said So. Names Another Topeka Man Who Confirmed Story. Sheriff Dunnuck, of Cloud county, who gave testimony in an inquisition ordered at Topeka by Governor Stubbs and held by County Attorney Simon, has written the governor to tell him that there are 60 joints doing businebs in Topeka, and the sheriff gives the names of his informants in regard to the joints. The sheriff names J. C. Muirhead, one of the governor's secret service men, as one of his informants, and W. W. Burt, a citizen of Topeka, as another. The sheriff wants a To peka inquisition called on the strength of his information given to the gover nor. The Dunnuck letter in full fol lows: Concordia, Sept. 30, '11. Governor W. R. Stubbs, Topeka, Kan. My Dear Governor: On the day that I was in Topeka obeying a subpoena sent me by the attorney general at your direction, after being examined by Mr. Dawson, I met Mr. Muirhead, the man who made the investigation for you in Concordia, on Kansas ave nue and in discussing the Topeka li quor situation with me in the pres ence of Frank Allen, superintendent of paving for the city of Topeka, Mr. Muirhead said, "I could find 50 joints in Topeka in 24 hours if I wanted to." Mr. Allen will confirm this statement. Since Mr. Muirhead is in the business of finding joints in Concordia and other points in the state I would suggest that you have him find the 50 joints in Topeka and then have the attorney general subpoena him and obtain this information which would no doubt be of value to you in your law enforcing campaien. On returning to Concordia via Atch ison, coming this way because it was the quickest way home where I was needed in the trial of a bootlegger that was in progress, I met W. W. Burt in the union depot and talked with him in the presence of the night depot master. Mr. Burt said that he could find fifty joints in Topeka in less than two hours; that during the old soldiers' re union he saw an officer coming down e stairway wiping his lips and Mr. Burt approached the officer and inquired if everything was all right. On being told that it was, he went up the stairway, opened a screen door into a room where he was met by a woman. Mr. Burt told the woman that he would like to have a little "nip." She went to the bed, turned back the matress and procured a -bottle of whisky from which she gave him a drink and re ceived 15 cents in. payment therefor. From this place Mr. Burt went down to the corner of Second and Kansas to a place ran by a man called "Blind Tom" and purchased another drink of whisky. Mr. Burt is.the father of Fred Burt that runs the eating house hack of the State Journal office and will be easily found. I would suggest that you subpoena Mr. Burt and he would probably be able to give you some information that would help in the enforcement of the prohibitory law in Topeka. I know that since you are so much concerned with the enforcement of this law in Cloud county that you are equally in favor of enforcing it in Topeka. I give you this information thinking it might be of value to you. Assuring you of my willingness to do all In my power to enforce this law in Cloud county and to aid you all I can in a similar move in Topeka, I am, Very respectfully, W. J. DUNNUCK. GETS STOLEN HORSE AXD COLT. Farmer's Property Increases in Hands of Thieves. Wellington, Kan., Oct, 2. One year ago John Dailey lost one of his fine mares by theft. It was circus day and during the parade, nre broke out. During the excitement which followed Mr. Dailey's mare was stolen. Following the theft, City Marshal Shawver sent out cards to the officers in Kansas and Oklahoma towns. A few days ago a gang of horse thieves was rounded up near Hobart, Okla., and some horses captured by the offi cers. The sheriff at Hobart ran across Shawver's card describing Dailey's horse, and at once wired that he thought he had found the stolen ani mal. Not only did Mr. Dailey get his mare back, but by her side is a colt that was born since the animal was stolen. WOMAN SLAVER IN JAIL. Gladys Johnson Must Serve Two Years in Penitentiary.

TO LEAVE "PRESIDENT'S HOUSE." Lowell Will Break an Old Harvard Custom When He Moves. Cambridge, Mass., Oct, 2. Presi dent Lowell will break an old Har vard custom when he changes his residence from the old brick "presi dent's house," in the college yard, to his new home about to be built on Quincy street, adjoining. For more than fifty years this little house has sheltered the presidents of Harvard university, President Eliot havinsr made his home under its roof for the forty years that he was head of the great college, and Presidents Felton and Hill preceding him. The house was erected in 1861 from a fund left by Peter C. Brooks, and cost J16.000. It is uncertain as yet to what use the building will be put but it is pos sible that it may be used as a library store rocm. FISHERMEN'S LUCK BAD. Heavy Loss of Life and Catch Marks Close of Year. St. Pierre. Mia., Oct. 2. This has been a season of illfortune with the fishermen of Miquelon and those who come from France to make St. Pierre the headquarters for the Grand Banks fisheries. Fifteen vessels, the total value of which ran into hundreds .-t thousands of dollars have beet lost with full or partial cargoes and 58 fish ermen drowned. With the vessels which escaped ac cident, the season has still been far from successful, Respite the fact that fish brings a price nearly one-third higher thn last year. The c:iteh this year has averaged 40 per cent less tha.n that of last year. I Don't be afraid of the new styles.

When the board of city commission ers finally pass the ordinance prohib iting awning poles, hitching posts and show cases on Kansas avenue, the new law will be punctured, pasted and torn. Already an amendment excluding the district between First and Third street on Kansas avenue has been passed. Another amendment allowing not more than two show cases in front of a store has been suggested. And when the at torney for the merchants who want show cases. John Schenck, finishes his talk before the commissioners, it is possible that another amendment wi'l be pinned to the ordinance. Annetta M. Riddle's suit against the city for personal damages is on trial today in the first division of the dis trict court. She asks $2,600 for injuries which resulted from a fall on a slippery sidewalk at Twelfth and Fillmore streets a year ago. The plaintiff in the case is 73 years old. Because they fished with a trot line in 200 yards of the mouth of Soldier creek. James Church and Charles Ketchell were arrested today charged with violation of the fish and game laws. Somewhere in the revised fish and game laws is a provision that pro hibits fishing in 200 yards of the mouth of any stream. Church and Ketchell overlooked this statute and Henry Ogee, a deputy game warden, swore to a complaint and asks $10 from the de fendants for his services. The fish and game law has been having a hard tirm in this county and almost every week Ogee appears at the court house with some manner of suit that will net him a $10 fee. as provided by Frof. Dyche's carefully regulated statute. Koeniar FWedrich la Floated. Bologne, Oct. 2.

Just for This Husband Charges Wife With Insanity. When Mrs.Fred Grenc, of 1141 Story street, hit her husband on tht leg with an axe, the offended companion went to the courthouse and swore to a complaint in lunacy against his wife. Mrs. Grenc will be tried before a commission in the probate court sometime this week. According to the story which Grenc told the county prosecutor's force, his wife's mind has been affected for sometime. He said she stirred up neighborhood rows and when he en deavored to calm her, she spent her wrath on the defenseless husband. But Grenc did not complaint until the wife attacked him with an axe.

Charles Holmes Tried to Favor Ten ants, but Administrator Resists. Provisions in the will of the late Charles Holmes are under fire today in Judge Whitcomb's court in two cases brought to quiet title to property owned by the former Topekan. The suits were filed by Isaac Moore and James Huddleston, negroes, against Dr. H. H. Keith, administrator of the estate. Before Holmes' death he owned some 10 or 15 small properties in To peka and Shawnee county. One day Holmes realized the advantage of a will that would direct the course of his worldly effects when he was no longer present to manage affairs. Own ing considerable property. Holmes had exuerienced more or less grief by rea son of his relations with undesirable tenants. So in his will, Tolmes pro vided that all persons who lived in his properties for three consecutive years and paid their rentals promptly, should at his death receive a clear title to the property. When this will was made public Moore and Huddleston asked for a deed and Dr. Keith refused to give it. Attorneys for the estate claim that Holmes was intoxicated much of the time and was not in control of his mind at the time the will was made. Holmes lived for a number of years at 711 Chestnut street. About a year ago he committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. HAS EEEII MO FIGHT. Refugees from Tripoli Deny Stories or Bombardment. Malta, Oct. 2. Although the passen gers boarded the Castiegarth Friday morning, the vessel did not !eae Tripoli until 11 o'clock Saturday night. Up to that time Italians had not bom barded the citv or landed troops. The Italian admiral, however, had warned the captain of the Castiegarth on Sat urday afternoon that he would not guarantee the safety of the ship after sunset. The Italian consul and other officials boarded the Italian flagship. The consuls of the other powers went on board an English vessel. Telegraph operators and a few Europeans re mained in Tripoli. being accommo dated at the British consulate. Rumors of Battles. Berlin Oct. 2. The papers print columns of reports of Turko-Italian fighting but without confirmation of any of the reports except that of the encounter between the Italians squad ron and the Turkish torpedo boat de strovers off Prevesa. All others are believed to be incorrect. According to official information the Italian landing at Tripoli has been delayed by bad weather. The German ambassador at Constantinople, Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, yesterday presented the emperor's telegraphic answer to the sultan's appeal for intervention. Be yond the statement that the sultan was pleased therewith no details of his majesty's response can be ascertained here officially. 1 The reports from Constantinople that the ambassador also presented to the Italians proposals for peace are unture, or rather according to the for eign office "premature," indicating that such propose' are expected as soon as the occupation of the Tripo litan coast has been effected. Enver Rey, the hero of the young Turks revo lution, who is. the Turkish military at tache here, before! departing for Con stantinople told friends that he ex pected to be sent to Tripoli by way of Egypt to organize the resistance in the interior. t CEDAR VALE HAS A FIRE. Loss Will Amount to Thousands, Ac cording to First Reports. Cedarvale, Kan., Oct. 2. A fire de stroyed several business houses here. The loss amounted to several thousand dollars. The blaze was discovered in the rear of a hardware store. Three of the buildings burned be longed to Brown Stapleton. They were occupied by the Central Hardware company with a $15,000 stock, the post office, a building occupied by the Leon ard Drug company, the O. T. Chapman Jewelry company, and another building were burned. The buildings were in sured. SOLD A LIVEIIYMAX'S HORSE. The Thief Got Only $10 for Animal and Vehicle. A man supposed'to be T. M. King of Kansas City wanted for horsestealing sold a Topeka livery rig for $10 and left the city Saturday niht before the po lice learned of it. He registered it the Throop hotel Friday night under the name W. L. Wade, according to the police. Saturday morning he hired a rig at the Perkins barn, returned at noon to have the horse fed and re turned again about 4 o'clock to get the buggy oiled, saying it squeaked. Later in the evening he sold the THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW. $110 buggy to John Paxton, a black smith of North Topeka, for $10, tied the harnessed horse to a post and left town. Paxton refused to give up the buggy Sunday and Perkins replevined it today. The horse stood all of Sat urday night in the rain and was taken to a livery barn Sunday morning by the man who bought the buggy. Paxton had a. bill of sale for the buggy signed E. M. King. The police have had notice from Kansas City to watch for T. M. King, whose descrip tion is identical with that of the man who sold the rig here. Reports from ether cities seem to indicate that King has made a practice of selling livery rigs cheap. He is careful to take only a small amount of money probably in the hope of escaping with a jail sen tence if caught. OBJECT TO JURY SERVICE Judge Dana Hears Excuses From Nearly Entire Panel. Jury service in Shawnee county is not a pleasant task especially to a busy man and when Judge Dana convened court this morning, he was met with just 36 excuses from as many men as to why they should not serve on the September panel. Thirteen of the members were excused and others have their complaints under advise ment. First there was a stone mason who has more contracts than he can fill and must look after business interests. Then came a Santa Fe employee who has charge of the final settle ment for the new office building. His service on the jury would tie up the work and prove disastrous to the con tractors and his employers. A grocer then told of the rushing business at his store and how his gen eral health would not stand the te dious confinement of the court room. Next was one of a dozen farmers on the list. He had 50 horses and mules 25 cattle and 50 hogs to occupy his time and there was no one to help his wife milk the cows. It was out of the question for him to devote his time to settlement of other people's troubles. A negro cook at the Chesterfield vowed that his Job and the protection of his family depended on his being excused. A cement worker said he must com plete his contracts before cold weath er and pleaded with the court to pro tect his business affairs. In addition to this the cement man's hearing was defective. Then a Santa Fe locomotive engin eer said business with the railroads was rushing and he must return to his engine and make up the lost sched ule. To each of the Jurors the court gave an attentive ear, then he suggest ed that the court must have jurors and intimated that 23 of the 36 men would be retained until the sheriff's force was able to find men whose business affairs did not require their entire time.

Many husbands don't think so. Usually when a husband does "fib" to his wife, the complica tions, which result from his endeav ors to straighten matters out to pre vent uprisings in the household, are very humorous. Campbell B. Casad, a New York Herald reporter, has gone ahead, and written a farce entitled "Don't Lie to Your Wife," in which all such complications are shown amid laughter that has no limit. Dave Lewis is in the starring role. Row land and Clifford are managing Mr. Lewis this season, and the production will be identically the same which en joyed the long run at the Whitney opera house in Chicago.

Early season by the eastern football teams has thus far been pleasing to critics of the sport. The big teams give promise of a high average strength, with no sign, how ever, of any really great eleven. Con ditions appear right for a series of closely contested and well played games when the big struggles come. All the colleges have been benefited by a year's experience with the rules and instead of the chaotic and erratic play of last year, there probably will be a campaign marked by more con fidence and consistency. Long runs, field goals and forward passing have been freely employed so far this fall, and if anything, the play has been more varied than last year, or to put it differently, varied with better success than last year. The forward pass, with its less severe penalty this year is very likely to be more freely used throughout the season. With clearer ideas of what to do and how to do it. with more positiveness and skill and more finality in accomplishing, the outlook is better for a definite decision one way or the other and for fewer of the unsatisfactory ties. RETIRED OFFICERS MAY WORK. If Wages Are Xot More Than $2,500 They Will Draw Pay. Washington. Oct. 2.

Canada Gets Extradition Treaty. Ottawa, Out, Oct. 2. Canada has be come a party to new extradition treaties with Belgium and Paraguay. The treaties add several crimes to the extraditabje list, including offenses against the bankruptcy lawa. Attorney General Dawson, in reply to the Governor Stubbs statement of Saturday, explains his methods of deal ing with inquisitions, his failure to se cure evidence from the governor and his alleged interviews about the gov ernor in the following statement: Topeka, Oct. 2. 1911. Governor W. H. Stubbs, State House. Yours of September 30 not yet re ceived, but read in the papers. I am sorry that I didn't ask you directly for the evidence you now say you have on Kansas City. I asked for what you had on Concordia and you had noth ing to give. Then I asked you for I what you had on Wichita, and you (gave me part and kept back the rest ana sent it secretly to Mr. TTickett. That, of course, was hardly fair, but if I kicked on little things like that, you and I would be warring in the pa pers all the time, and I wish to avoid that as much as possible. As to Kan sas City, you misled me yourself. When you told me of one offender down there you led me to believe that was all you had to tell, or at least all you would tell me, and that you would send any thing else you had to Mr. TTickett, as you did in the Wichita case. You say you can't imagine why I should give a public invitation to vol untary witnesses and that I would have to depend upon them for a time at least. Now, governor, when I com plained to you about your giving to the public advance notice of my go ing to these towns you advised me yourself to try that plan of inviting -olunteer witnesses in Wichita. As the political pot was boiling over in Wichita when I was there. I did not get to act on your suggestion, so I con cluded to try it in Kansas City. As to some newspaper paragraph where I am quoted as saying that in my investigations "no one will be per secuted for political by-play," I did not say that. I gave no interview in Concordia. All pretended interviews of mine in Concordia are spurious. The Wichita Beacon Interview is cor rect; the Eagle interview nearly so. The Kansas City Journal interview is correct. I have no control over what the reporters add in their own lan guage. In Wichita, both warring fac tions were anxious to attach some po litical significance to my presence in their city. This I tried to discourage as much for your sake as my own. In Kansas City some people feared that my appearance there to do the work of the county attorney was a slam at him, as he Is a candidate for congress, and I wished to dispel any such notion, so I stated that there would be no foul blows struck. Your unreasonable request that I give you three days' notice in advance of the time when I hold one of these inquisitions can not be granted. I can not tell that far ahead myself. I just hurry away and hold one of them the moment I find time. I'll be glad in deed to take the depositions of your detectives any time so will the coun ty attorneys of all these counties, and they and I will always appreciate any help you and your detectives can give. Be assured of that. And while on that point, I wish you would give a state ment in writing signed by your own hand that they and I can be assured that you will produce your detectives in court whenever they may be re auired in cases where the state has to rely on their testimony. All prosecut ing attorneys wno nave causes wiiony dependent upon testimony furnished by vou have one constant worry and that is that you will fail to have your detectives present at the trials and leave us in the lurch. You know you failed us in that respect already this past summer. I do not mean to be disrespectful but the public interests require that I be frank. In Russia and Turkey where the powers of the "supreme ex ecutive head of the state" are unlim ited, it is the unwritten law that some officer shall be privileged to tell him where he errs or blunders. If your powers are to be so construed, I hope I shall alwavs have the moral courage to tell vou where you err. I hold my commission as attorney general from the people ot Kansas and while I hold it I shall exercise Its powers in loyal and cheerful obedience to their laws, as i unaerstana mem and as the courts construe them. It is clever in you and characteristic of vou to claim that my public interviews interfere with law enforcement. I don't think they do: and I think I am a better judge of that than yourself; and I think you are about the last man on earth who should deny another the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. Yours respectfully. JOHN S. DAWSON, Attorney General. ALLEN PLEADS GUILTY. Millionaire Teather Man Admits He Smuggled Jewelry. New York, Oct. 2.

State Bank Commissioner J. N. Dol ley is wroth over the escape of the bank robbers Mulcahy and Carney from the Marysville jail. These men were the leaders of the worst gang operating in Kansas in recent years and were only convicted after great ex pense, and a trial lasting ten days. After their conviction they asked for an appeal and the local court gave them four months to file their papers. Mr. Dolley is of the Opinion that they only asked for this time in order to have an opportunity to escape from the country jail in which they were confined, and, fearing this very con tingency, he had made arrangements with Warden Codding of the state peni tentiary to keep the men there until their appeal had been settled one way or the other. But when he took the matter up with the Marysville authori ties they declined to allow the men to be taken from their jail until it had been proved that it was unsafe. Of course Mr. Dolley could not do that, but the prisoners have proved the ease to the entire satisfaction of the Marys ville authorities. Mr. Dolley said today, speaking of the escape: "I feel pretty sore about this escape of the two most dangerous and murderous criminals in the state. What makes it worse in my mind is the fact that I had apprehended this very thing and had some weeks ago secured permission from Warden Codding to keep the men In safety at Lansing un til their appeal had been disposed of. When I asked the Marysville authori ties to take the men to Lansing they refused to do so and told me I would have to first prove their little old cigar box Jail unsafe. They have the proof now. "Last week only I sent them a letter of warning about the two prisoners and urged them to guard them closely as the time for expiration of their appeal drew near. "Again, the idea of giving these men four months for an appeal they had not the slightest intention of taking was folly. The guilt of these men had been proved beyond a doubt. Their effort to gain time for escape was not made In vain. The judge played right in their hands, and they had black records be hind them consisting of most of the crimes on the calendar. I feel very badly about it. To break up the prac tice of bank robbing in Kansas this de partment must have the intelligent co operation of the local authorities or its work will be in vain." RODGERS GETS FALL His Aeroplane Wrecked and He Is Bruised Badly. Huntington. Ind., Oct. 2. Caught in a sudden gust of wind C P. Rodgers aeroplane dived to earth just after he had started from this city toward Chi cago today and the machine was wreck ed and Rodgers painfully bruised. Rodgers started from a iie,d, hat a mile south of this city. Hardly had he got into the air when a sharp wind swept the machine from his control and it swooped into an adjoining field. The aviator picked himself out of the twisted aeroplane and said he wss only tlightly hurt. Both planes of the ma chine were badly damaged and the car rying wheels were broken. Rodgers said it would be several days before the aeroplane could be repaired for a fur ther stige of his projected coast tc coast flight.

Robt. Gordon Objects to His Connection With Brewers. James Wilson, secretary of agri culture, was severely censured Sun day night by the Rev. Robert Gor don of the First Baptist church in the course of a sermon on "Why We Protest," on account of his acceptancy of the honorary presidency of the International Brewers' congress which will meet in Chicago, Oct. 12-22. "On June 16," said the speaker, "secretary of state, Mr. Knox, issued a circular letter which was addressed 'to the diplomatic and consular officers of the Uhited States.' In it he says that 'the department is advised that there will be held in the city of Chi cago, October 12-22 next, the second international Brewers' congress and international barley and hop prize ex hibition. It is the purpose of this congress to discuss agricultural, scien tific, technical and sociological ques tions connected with the brewing and allied industries. The secretary of agriculture of the United States, the Hon. James Wilson, has accepted an invitation to act as honorary president of this congress, and the United States department of argiculture will be represented at the International barley and hop exhibition with a suit able exhibit.' "Bryan is right when he declares,' 'If you say to a man, "It is wrong to steal," and he says, "I don't know about that"- don't argue with him, search him.' If any one can read that statement showing the last pub lic alliance of our government with the organized brewers without in stantly seeing why we should, as Christian people, enter protest there isn't much use of argument. I know I express your sentiment when I say that the acceptance of the presidency of a brewers' congress by our secre tary of agriculture is an insult to the members of the Christian churches in this country and to all the better ele ment of our citizenship, and that he has not only disgraced himself but put an indelible stain upon the president's cabinet. "The secretary's letter of defense is not even plausible. He says this congress is in the interest of hop grow ers. True it is announced hop grow ing will be discussed, but that is only an incidental matter. No such spec ious statement can blind the public to the fact that it is not a hop grow ers' convention but clearly a congress of brewers. It is really pitiful to see the old man try to crawl out of his shameful position by saying he will have no actual presiding to do and has only granted the use of his name as honorary president. When or where did a man ever have anything more valuable to give than his name? "We insist that public officers shall not only refrain from violations of law, but that they shall so conduct themselves as to create and increase respect for authority; and for that reason we protest against this action of Secretary Wilson. No other busi ness in the land so continuously and flagrantly violates law, nor so uni versally breeds contempt for law as does the liquor business. Secretary Wilson allies himself to the knaves who are behind the bootlegger and the dive keeper, the blind tiger and the gambler's groggery. "In the name of our youth, and of the Christian church, in the name of law and order, sobriety and morality we protest; and finally out of regard for the good old English word, 'hon orable, we protest," OPEN BRANCH HOUSE. The National Biscuit company has established a distributing house in To peka at 206 Kansas avenue with Hugo Heine as manager. The building oc cupied by the National Biscuit com pany has been remodeled to suit the convenience or the branch house, a platform has been erected at the rear of the building enabling the company to unload car Ids. "Until recently the National Biscuit company has had but one branch house in Kansas-" explained Mr. D. I. Cool idge, a representative of the company from Chicago, "that being at Wichita. We expect to make the Topeka branch the largest and busiest of the six now established." "We have quite a stock of goods as you see," said Mr. Heine, "and we have put on a delivery system which will enable us to take care of the local trade within 15 minutes' notice. We also have quite a territory surrounding Topeka which we will supply with their needs. Two salesmen will work from Topeka, both pre Topeka men. B L.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAE MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1911. TAFT SEIS BRYAN Distinguished Democrat on Lin coln Reception Committee. The Two Men Are Close Personal Friends. PRESIDENT IN OMAHA. Spends a Few Hours in Sight Seeing. lie Makes an Automobile Tour of the City. Linco, Neb., Oct. 2. President Taft received a cordial non-partisan welcome to Lincoln today. W. J. Bry an, rising before the 4 00 guests at the luncheon given here in Mr. Taft's honor, proposed a toast to the presi dent of the United States. The toast to the president was drunk standing and at its conclusion Mr. Taft returned the compliments which the man he defeated for the presidency had paid him in felicitous language. In proposing the president's health, Mr. Bryan said: "Lincoln Is honored today by the presence of the highest official in the world. The president's position is greater than a king's. His authority 13 more vast than any civilized people would entrust to an hereditary ruler, and he holds the place not by accident of birth, but by the suffrages of his countrymen. Though in congress he ip the leader of a party, he is after election the chief executive of a na tion and his arm wields the strength of 90 million people. "Lifted by voters to this position of supreme command he becomes the most exalted of our public servants. It Is fitting that we, a group of the sov ereigns whom he serves, should pay our respects to him and to the office to which he holds. I ask you to rise, fill your glasses with the beverage upon which the Almighty has set the seal of his approval, and drink to the health of President Taft and may God give him wisdom to discharge aright the onerous duties Imposed on him." In addition to Mr. Bryan, Governor Aldrich, United States Senators Brown and Hitchcock and other Republican and Democratic leaders participated in the reception. Congressman Norris, one of the leadei'3 of "Insurgency" in the house, did not show up either at Omaha or at Lincoln, and It was said that he had found it necessary to return to his home in Mc Cook although counted upon for a time as a member of the reception commit tee. Mr. Bryan sat at President Taft's right during the luncheon and former Senator Burkett sat at his left. Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft were greeted with uproarious cheers. Responding to Mr. Bryan's toast the president said: "I would be wanting In appreciation of fine courtesy if I did not express my thanks to your distinguished fel low citizen, Mr. Bryan, for joining in the welcome to me here in Lincoln. I have had occasion to say in times past that no roses are so-beautiful as those that grow over the party wall, and to be received by Mr. Bryan this time ia a pleasure which I must ex press. Mr. Bryan and I differ on some subjects, but the one on which I am going to speak this afternoon world peace is one on which we agree. But whether we agree or dis agree, I have had a ten years' per sonal acquaintance with Mr. Bryan and I hope he will join me in saying that it always has been -a. pleasure to meet each other under any circum stances." RAM STOPS FAIR. Mitchell County Gets Best "Soaker" of the Year. Beloit, K'ai.. Oc';. 2. Over three inches of rain has Js'Uen in Beloit and Mitchell, county the past 48 hou.s. It was the best rain this county has had for more than a year. These rains brought the Mitchell county statewide fair to a sudden close, which will necessitate a loss to the association of more than $1,000. Every premium will be paid in full, and the shortage of receipts will be fully met by the association. The officers of the association. E. C. Logan, president, E. E. Booker, vice president, A. T. Rogers, treasurer, W. S. Gabel, secretary, William Winn, general su perintendent, and H. H. VanAmburg, marshal, worked unceasingly for the success of the fair, and they succeeded in building up the largest collection of exhibits ever shown in Mitchell coun ty. Every department was a credit. More pure bred horses were exhibited than ever before, the quality of the cattle exceeded any ever before shown, and the fine arts department was a surprise to all visitors. More than 100 head of horses were exhibited, includ ing 70 Fercherons; there was 75 head of cattle and about the same number of hogs. Many of the business men of Beloit o'Jfered liberal financial premiums and this helped to swell the exhibits. The association has made several im provements on the grounds, and will commence at once to lay the founda tion of the 1912 fair. Plans Army Maneuvers. Washington, Oct. 2. Adhering to its established policy of holding joint maneuvers by the army and the mili tia every two years, the war depart ment is perfecting plans for the ma neuvers next year. They will cost $1, 800,000, which is $50,000 less than in 1910. ff TOMORROW Silk Soap 9 Bars c WM. GREEN SON GROCERY CO. TOLL OF DEATH. (Continued from Page One.) years from now the industry would be practically at an end. In fact, about 200 families had moved from Austin this fall. Five hundred more would have gone within the next year or two un less some industrial development came In to hold them. Dam Was Defective. Questioned as to the cause of the sudden failure of the Bayliss Pulp and Paper company's dam, citizens and bus iness men accustomed to visit Austin shake their heads ominously. They re call the scare a year ago last January when a considerable leak was discov ered in the immense cement structure. Although two feet along the rim of the dam were removed to relieve the pressure and a 14 foot patch jvas placed where needed, the alignment of the upper edge of the dam gradually became a slight arc instead of a straight line. This bulge caused worry on the part of the eitiaens and led to a somewhat recent inspection. Protec tive measures were determined on but the delay was fatal. 'T never went to sleep in the hotel rn Main street here," said a visiting railroad official today, "without a mighty fervent prayer that the ap parently inevitable might be delayed. I always felt that we might be swept away during the night." Below the torn dam today the valley for a mile or more is swept practically clean to bedrock and Freeman s run, the reservoir feeder, swollen by last night's rains. Is sweeping through new channels where the main business por tion of the town once stood. Two Dead at Costello. Costello, three miles away, is propor tionately as shattered as Austin. Only the loss of the flood's momentum and the timely warning given by operators who risked their lives to do so, held the death list to two. DAM WAS 530 FEET LOXG. Was 320 Eeet Wide et Base and 49 I-Tpet High. Austin, Pa., Oct. 2. The dam was built two years ago. It was 530 feet long, spanning the little valley form ed by Freeman Run and rising to the height of 49 feet. It was of concrete, 320 feet wide at the base and said to be constructed after the most approved plans of modern engineering. The basin behind it had never been filled with water until last week and Saturday it was noticed that water was running over the top of the struc ture. Many persons went out of the town, a mile and a half away, to see the unusual sight, and it was while they were watchings the overflowing water that the first break occurred. Property Loss Six Millions. The property loss will exceed $6, 000,000 and it is the general opinion that the town never will be rebuilt. Two of the large plants will not be reconstructed, and a majority of the business men of the place have been ruined financially. State officials In charge of the situa tion, after a hasty canvass of the population, expressed the belief that not more than 150 are dead. Only 16 bodies had been recovered at a late hour last night. The 500 men who had toiled all day In a heavy rain storm abandoned the task with the coming of darkness. Although they had moved mighty heap3 of debris, fought fire and work ed on without food seeking to remove bodies of the dead, less than a score had been found. A battalion of state police then sur rounded the town and no person with out a pass was permitted to enter. Reports from Costello and points further down Sinnemahoning grew more encouraging as the day ad vanced. At Costello, while there was a heavy financial loss, it was stated that not more than three persons were dead. Beyond that point no fatalities had been reported. The survivors will not suffer from hunger or lack of medical aid, as the supplies and medical assistance rush ed to the scene seem ample. E. F. Bicknell, national director of the Red Cross, arrived Sunday, bring ing w-ith him $15,000 in cash for the immediate aid of flood victims. Of the eight Injured in the hospitals, none is hurt fatally. The homeless all have been provided with shelter. On the outskirts of Aus tin are a number of houses that were vacated bv workers in the Goodyear mill when the plane was dismantled. These houses have been filled with the homeless. The residents of Keating Summit have taken in the others, sev eral hundn 1 in number. Msny evidences of the tremendous power of the flood were seen by the workers in the town. Engines weigh ing 2 tons had bein rolled along the ground, an immense steel hopper was carried a half mile and thrown through the side of a house, and steel freight cars were bent double. The greatest danger was done by the piles of cut lumber swept before the flood. This acted as a great battering ram which swept buildings from their foundations and unquestionably caused the deaths of scores who otherwise might have escaped after surviving the first rush of the water. Investigation into the cause of the breaking of the dam will begin at once, according to officials in charge of the work of rescue. That there had been constant danger of the catastrophe, due to the instability of the structure, was known to many residents of the town, and a thorough investigation is demanded by survivors. HOW THE DAM GAVE WAY. Harry Davis, Who Was There, Tells a Thrilling Story. Austin, Pa., Oct. 2. "It was a won derful sight," said Harry Davis, a Buf falo Susquehanna locomotive engi neer, who was in the little knot of persons near the dam when it broke. "There was nothing to indicate that the dam -vas about to give way and someone had just remarked about its strength when, with a sharp report, a hole appeared in the west end. In a moment water poured through and it was immediately seen that the hole was getting larger. In a minute it was 20 feet wide and extended almost the entire height of the dam. Then there was another report and it seemed as if the whole structure was giving way. "With a cry of alarm I rushed to the nearest high ground and persons scattered in every direction. It was apparent that the great body of water behind the dam was going out. Some were caught and before I could tell what was happening, the water was tearing down Freeman, Run, a wall 5 0 feet high and sweeping everything be fore it. "The sound was deafening. But I had little time for thought. There was a house close by and I rushed to the telephone and called the operator in Austin. She did not have much time to telephone the alarm, but I think she did her best. I guess she is dead. I have not heard anything about her since. "I came down to Austin as soon as possible, but it was an awful sight, i The water had torn through the place. taking ell the principal buildings and crushing houses like egg shells. Then the Are broke out. The timbers and sides of houses were piled up against the railroad shops and they were soon in flames. I krew there were men In the shops, how many I can not say, but there was no way to help them. They were probably burned up. I have not seen any of them since. "I don't know how the fire started, but It seemed as though It began In a score of places at once.- The postoffice escaped, but nearby was a store, and there the flames appeared first. Then I looked for the Bank of Austin, but it was gone, swept away, I guess, because I did not see it burning. "But worst of all were the cries of the women and children. You see, most all the men were at work and they were at home alone. They had heard the warn ing sent out by the telephone girl, at least, some of the people say the fire bell rang and they thought it was a fire. "Some of them rushed to the business section and were caught In the water, for that flood tra-eled like a race horse. Those not drowned w-ere crushed in the crum bling buildings and others were caught in the flames. Tt was frightful. I can not begin to tell it at all. "Little children playing in yards at home were caught up by the water and tossed about on the flood like playthings. Cattle and horses were swept off and even the sidewalks were torn up. I never imagined there could be such force. And over and above it all were the shrieks of the hundreds of poor people who could not escape. I don't know how any of us got away. STORIES TOLD BY SURVIVORS. Crest of Water Resembled a Moving Pile of Wood. Austin, Pa., Oct. 2. Boyd Lockhard a young business man of Austin, nar rowly escaped death. Mr. Lockhard said that when he heard the alarm given he thought someone was playing a practical joke, and he went into the street to watch the people s actions. He looked in the direction of the dam and saw the oncoming flood was only three blocks away. "It resembled a pile of wood, 2 feet high," he said. "At first I did not see the water at all, because the wood at the pulp mill was carried be fore and became a sort of battering ram that tore away the buildings of the town. "I ran towards the hill and by the greatest effort got above the level of the water while it was surging within ten feet of me. The ground began to give way under me, but I managed to clamber a few feet further up and caught hold of a tree, to which I clung." J. C. Borchard, who lived within half a mile of Costello, said that when the crest of the flood swept past his home there were no signs of human being or their houses in the debns, "The surface of the flood was cov ered with newly sawn timber and pieces of lumber. It was not until a lapse of five or six minutes that pieces cf housetops, broken furniture and other evidences of the destruction of the town began to appear. "The people of Costello," he said, "received ample warning from Austin that the dam had broken, and al though forty or fifty houses were de molished, only three fatalities occur red." James Leeman, a night worker, was asleep at his home and did not hear the alarm. When the rush of water destroyed his house he was tossed out upon a pile of floating debris and eventually floated to a landing, a mile and a half below the village. Wound ed and bruised, he returned, only to find that his wife and four children had perished. Leeman became vio lently insane. W. D. Robertson, night watchman at the Bayless mil's, was asleep in the third stcry of the Starkwater building. The noise of the water aroused him. He stepped out on a balcony com manding a view of the onrushing waters. "Houses were tossing about," he said. "I was so terrified I couldn't move. The building lurched forward and collapsed. I fell two stories with the building and found myself protect ed by a bridge which had formed of wedged timbers. I escaped and I'm mighty glad to be here to tell about it. "I have three little children in Erie. Thank God they were not here." Robertson was Injured badly. Frank Robinson, a one-armed stenog rapher, also was on the third story of the Starkweather building. The first he knew of the flood was when the floor gave way beneath him and the whole building fairly lurched across the street. He was hurled through a window and landed on top of some debris, on which he floated to safety. Thomas Lawler, a bartender at the Commercial hotel, rays he owes his life to his atter.pc to save his baby daughter. He told his atory today as he lay on a cot at the hospital with both les broken. 'I was upstairs in my home "n Rail road street," he said, "playing with my E-months-old daughter. My wife and little boy were downstairs. With out warning the roof caved In, and then with the rising water it floated away. Instinctively I grabbed my baby and when I found myself floating along with the wreck of the house I held her above my head. I caught hold of the side of my house and pushed the baby on it and held on tight. All around us was a sea of slabs. It was all over in three or four minutes, but It seemed years. The part of the house I was clinging to was rammed with terrific impact into the hills, where I scram bled ashore with both legs broken. How I dragged myself to the hospital with the baby I don't know, but I did." Lawler's wife and boy were drowned. Robert Cransie tells of a miraculous escape. "I was about 100 feet below the dam when it gave way," he said. "I saw the water rushing down upon me and although it poured over me at least 30 feet high, it threw me fiat on the ground. Somehow I came bobbing up to the top of the twisting, gurgling mass and grabbed the branches of a tree as it shot past me. I was rescued while clinging to it last night." OWXER OF DAM HEARD FROM. Says Loss of Paper Company Will Jfot Exceed $100,000. Binghamton, 1ST. Y., Oct. 2. F. J. Bayless of the Bayless Pulp and Paper company gave out the following state ment last night: "We are greatly shocked because of the loss of life, injury to persons and damage to property at Austin. We have made plans to aid in the relief measures now going forward. "The loss to our plant will not ex ceed $100,000. It will In no way affect the solvency of our company, as the value of ur Canadian properties ex ceeds the amount of our bonds. "We believe that loss of life will not exceed 100." THE DAM WAS UNSAFE. Engineer Who Built It Condemned Structure Last Year. Wilmington, Dela., Oct. 2. T. Chalkley Hatton, the civil engineer who designed the dam of the Bayless Pulp Paper company at Austin, Pa., is a resident of Wilmington, I have not seen the dam since I January, 1910, when Mr. Wagmann, consulting engineer of the New York aqueduct commission, and I inspected it ana pronounced it. unsafe, said Mr, Hatton. "We mads certain recom mendations for its repair and rein forcement, but X, was not engaged to supervise this work and do not know whether our recommendations were carried out. "The dam was built in the best man ner possible, but the foundations were of sandstone. This caused damage when water got under the foundations because of the fissures in the rocks after we had bored nine feet to seemingly safe bottom. "A good test of the rock foundation of the dam was made before we be gan the original sonstructions. Fis sures must have extended further down, however. The foot of the dam was set in a channel four feet deep in the rock foundations. The sides of the dam, the structure being of rein forced concrete, were set twenty feet into the rock of the hills on each side They were anchored there by steel rods two and a half Inches thick and twenty-five feet long." Mr. Hatton described the breaking of the dam on January 24, 1910, when a workman saw the great wall trem ble, buckle and slide forward forty four inches on its bed. He aroused. the town and the inhabitants took refuge in the mountains and for two days remained there. The imprisoned water escaped through a breach made with dynamite and the dam and town were saved. Mr. Hatton immediately pronounced the dam unsafe and made extensive rec ommendations along the lines of rein forcement. Three Bodies Found. Three bodies were taken from the ruins today, two of girls and one of a man. Identifications were not made. Two carloads of clothing and blan kets sent by the State Board of Chart ties and the Red Cross from Philadel phia have been distributed and a re quest has been sent for more. A big steam derrick was put to work on the broken end of the Buffalo Susque hanna railroad and the work of clear ing up the wreckage around the Good year pond, where many bodies are sup posed to be buried, was progressing rapidly. ITALY WAITS. (Continued from Page One.) them this day is no different from any other day. "Over in the barracks officers and gendarmes are idle in the doorways, observing with characteristic oriental carelessness the passing of little hud dled groups of frightened foreign traders, their arms filled with parcels. Women with infants in their arms are at the heels of the men. Patrols of soldiers pass gravely along the nearly deserted streets. The shops are closed and the windows boarded. Hundreds of houses have been vacated. Terror has seized the inhabitants. All the terraces are empty except that at the Italian consulate, which ia occupied by correspondents. Above the hospital conducted v Italian nuns waves a Red Cross flag. A bold monk, distinguished by his lont,. flowing beard, has climbed to the top of the bell tower on the Italian Catholic monastery and hoisted the German flag. The few remaining Italians await impatiently the first firing. The local batteries are deserted. At sea a flock of frightened sailing boats is scurry ing out of the harbor. "This evening the coffee houses in the Arab quarter reopened and the priests, appearing on the small bal conies of the minarets, invited the peo ple to prayer. Crowds of Arabs gath ered at different points and read the posted notice in Turkish, which says: 'The Italian government made an unjust demand on Turkey, asking her to give up Tripoli. The Turkish cabi net, together with the parliament, is preparing a definite answer to give to Italy. Meanwhile adjure the popula tion to remain quiet and respect the Italians. "This is the message received by the local authorities from Constantinople. It had been expected that today would be filled with the scenes of war, but the contrary was the case and the im penetrable African night settled down on a town that that was outwardly quiet." Italy's Position in Tripoli. Chlasso, Oct. 2.- Although the dec laration of war renders unnecessary further explanations, the Italian gov ernment, according to a Rome dispatch commenting unofficially upon the Turkish note to the ultimatum and the Turkish note to the powers, points out that. Turkey's assertion that if Tripoli does not enjoy the alessmg of civiliza tion, Turkey is not responsible for it, is an explicit confession of the state of disorder and abandonment de nounced In the ultimatum. Government officials also urge that the new regime In Turkey took no step to reform the situation. The Turkish note makes it appear that Italy claimed a privileged posi tion, almost a monopoly in Tripoli, which is not the fact, as she desired only to have her economical and com mercial interests in Tripoli favored. Refugees from Tripoli. Malta, Oct. 2. A scene of consider able confusion occurred at the Quar antine station here early today when the British steamer Castlegarth en tered the harbor in the height of a se vere gale crowded with 1,300 Maltese refugees from Tripoli. The passengers were huddled on the deck clamoring to get to land after three days with an insufficient supply of food and water. Although there had been no casualties practically all of the refugees were faint from hunger and thirst. The port authorities promptly ordered emergency measures, directing the vessel to dock immedi ately. Once ashore, the passengers soon found relief. The members of the Maltese colony in Tripoli went aboard the Castlegarth Friday morning at the suggestion of the British consul who feared for their safety in the threatened bombardment. Their provisions were soon exhausted and the severe weather added to their discomfort. The storm continued with severity throughout their three days on the water. Japan Will lie Neutral. Tokio. Oct. 2. It is announced that Japan will issue a proclamation declar ing her strict neutrality in the Italo Turkish imbroglio. Germany Hasn't Offered Mediation. Berlin, Oct. 2.

Cattle Receipts Large and Prices Take a Fall. Hogs Strong Bulk of Sales $6.25 to 6.40. Chicago, Oct. 2. WHEAT Liberal world shipments had a tendency to make prices easy today in the market for wheat. Receipts in the northwest were nearly twice the total of a year ago. The bears were also favored by continued flattering crop reports from the Argen tine and by an improved prospect throughout India. European fears of complications grow ing out of Italian-Turkish war did not seem to impress traders in Chicago, 'ine opening was c lower to a shade up. December started at 98c to 9814c, a six teenth off to a like amount higher, and declined to S7c. Subsequent reports of frost damage in Argentina brought about an advance. There was also a forecast of sleet in the Canadian northwest. The close was easy with December a shade net lower at 98V&C. CORN Corn showed firmness owing to the wet weather. Rather free selling de veloped after the market had made a moderate bulge. December opened ic to c higher at 64,ic to 64c and rose to 64c Predictions or continued unsettled at mosphere caused offerings to become scarce and led to a further advance. The close was steady, with December c up at 64c. OATS Oats displayed sympatny wim corn, but reports of a big crop in France restrained much advance. December started 4c to VS-c up at 47c to 48c and reacted to 47c. PROVISIONS Absence or oeuveries made provisions strong. The gain in ex ports last week had a similar effect. First sales were 6c to 10c higher, with January at $14.95 for pork, $8.90 for lard and $7.SV& for ribs. RYE No. 2, 96M;C. BARLEY 75c $1.25. TIMOTHY $13.00(3.14. 75. CLOVER J14.0019.25.

Theory Now Is That Insane Man Was Murdered. Kansas City, Oct. 2. The almost fleshless skeleton found in a corn field near Morris station, eight miles west of Kansas City, Kan., on the Santa Fe, is that of William Skelton, who became demented and jumped through the window of a moving train half a mile from that point Septem ber 1. Identification was made yes terday by means of a telegram receiv ed tiom his sister in Eureka, Cal.j de scribing his gold teeth. When Skelton became demented and jumped from the train he was on his way from California to visit his old home in Ireland. He had a gold watch, two gold rings, a ticket on the White Star line and a London draft for $900. When the almost fleshless skeleton was found nearly a month later, the right hand on which iae rings had been was gone, together with his other valuables and even his clothes. Further cause for investiga tion was found by Deputy Sheriff Brady yesterday when Eli Kennedy, night operator for the Santa Fe at Morris station, and C. H. Bonesteel, a grocer at that place, each said they heard cries across the track about 1 o'clock the night after Skelton jumped from the train. The body, which appeared to have been dragged, was found less than a quarter of a mile away. Considering the fact that a hatless man, believed to be Skelton, got a drink at the home of Mrs. F C. Brown about 9 o'clock, it is believed by the officials that Skelton was not seriously injured by his jump, but later was murdered and robbed. HER DAUGHTER IS DEAD. Mother Who Fled to Protect Girls IU With Typhoid. Pittsburg, Kan., Oct. 2. Retribu tion following swiftly in the wake of transgression, is the experience of Mrs. Emma Hodges, the Pittsburg mother who spirited away her two daughters, about a month ago, re porting to the officers that the two had been stolen from her. All of the family is stricken with typhoid fever in its most malignant form. Ada, the younger of the two girls spirited away, was unable to over come the fever, her death occurring early this week. The mother and son are in a critical condition, while the elder daughter is still seriously ill. When the mother decided to evade the law that threatened her daugh ters with the reform school, ehe de cided upon her brother's farm in Ok lahoma as the hiding place for her children. The house In which the girls were secreted had been occupied by a tenant who had been ill with typhoid. The necessity of keeping hidden, kept the children shut in the cottage, and they soon contracted the fever. STOCK SHIPPERS Te Insure Youroetrea Bst Results Consign to CLAY, ROBINSON CO.

STOCKS Small gains were made by most of the standard stocks at the opening of the market today. Lehigh Valley, Union Pa cific, American Smelting and American Tobacco preferred rose 1, U. S. Steel 3 and C. O. Atchison, Baltimore Ohio and St. Paul showed some heavi ness. Unexpectedly large offerings of stocks checked a rise which made considerable progress early today. Continuation of gold export movement which began last week was of unfavorable sentimental effect. War news from abroad was unheeded in Wall street and the Harriman stocks were not affected by the strike on those roads. The pressure against the market was not relieved in the second hour and prices sagged steadily. Steel, St. Paul, Reading, Southern Pacific, Amalgamated Copper and Atchison sold to below last week's close and other active Issues smaller fractions. The large falling off in the September exports had an unfav nrablt influence on the copper group. Bond transactions contracted to moder ate nrooortions and the prices were firm. On a further rise in prices, running to 1 in Reading, free offerings were en countered coincident with the announce ment of $2,000,000 gold for export. The list reacted to about Saturday's closing, with St. Paul. Atchison and Amalgamat ed Copper showing some heaviness. U. S. Rubber continued its recent abrupt rise. touching 42, a gain of 2.

HEARING IN SENATE. Committee Begins Taking of Evidence Today. Accusation Made by Legislature of Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 2. With charges before It that United State Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin secured his election on March 4, 1909, by means of bribery and other corrupt use or money, the subcommittee 4 9 I ul money, me guoLuunmiLirc wi. J committee on privileges ana eiccumia i tT tYiA TTnitAil UtateB Kn:iTP LUII11LL11. .egan Its sessions here today. Senator Stephenson was summoned to be the first witness, after the pre liminary proceedings. The charges preferred by a senate committee of the Wisconsin legislature are: phylaetie asainst smallpox. These dis torted ideas have persisted to the detri ment of humanity to this day. The older doctors through experi ence, keen obseration and thoughtful consideration of the many unfortunate cases brought to their notice are not impulsively or wholly committed to the idea that vaccination is fully devoid of dai ger to the numan system. The par ents are the natural guardians of their children's health and they alone should determine whether their children should be vaccinated or not vaccina ted. Inoculation of children's system with this vaccine by law or otherwise is clearly a crime against nature and should not be toierated. Does accinatioji make a person im mune from smallpox? Vaccinated per sons have had smallpox. Smallpox is essentially a filth disease. Persons who maintain Cieaniiness of person and their premises unless they throw themselves into the midst or the disease are in little danger of infection. W. M. THOMPSON. r m. DOWSE IS GOT.

In beauty culture, as in the treatment of disease, the tendency nowadays is to seek the removal of causes, rather than to treat symptoms or effects. In the matter of wrinkles, for instance, we know that the lines or furrows are caused by the skin becoming loose in places, so it does not perfectly fit th flesh beneath. The skin then "wrinkles' or sags. Naturally the proper thing to to do is to tighten the skin make it fit then there's no room for lines, wrinkles and folds, and no surplus skin to sag or bag. The best known formula for the pur pose is: Saxolite, 1 oz., In pint witch hazel. Use as a wash lotion. The ef fect is truly remarkable, especially as results are Immediate. Ask the drug gist for the powdered saxlite, which dissolves more quickly than any other form.

Molly, the little stenographer lady, had just read in the evening paper that Mr. So-and-So was going to marry Miss Such-an-One and had promptly justified Mr. Stevenson's description by exclaiming, with almost passionate emphasis, that she didn't see how such a nice man as he could possibly like that girl. The wants-to-be cynic reached for the paper and scrutinized the item. "Mr. So-and-So," he murmured. thoughtfully, "wasn't he an old flame of yours, Molly?" "He was not," retorted Molly with flaming cheeks. "That's just like you men. Tou can never believe anything wc say is impersonal. I never met him more than once or twice, just enough to know that he had perfect manners, and didn t (with pointed emphasis) take every opportunity to say disagree able things. It wasn't wholly that I wondered that he should marry her, but that anyone should. "Why, don't you think she's the kind of a girl a man likes?" queried the lady-who-always-knows-some-how pa cifically. "Mercy, no," said Molly, "she's a perfect little cat, and she's always talk ing Tolstoi, Browning or something highbrow like that. And she wears woolen stockings." "That of course, would damn her forever," murmured the wants-to-be-cynio sotto voce. Either Molly didn't hear or she was not in a mood for further battles, for she refused to take up the gage. "Men don't mind cats, do they," sug gested the butterfly, "as long as they are cats only to other women, but kit tens to them?" Well, what kind of a girl do men like anyway?" asked the lady-who-always-knows-somehow. 'A girl with spirit, declared the wants-to-be cynic, "a girl who is in terested, alive and always ready for fun." "A girl that's thoroughly silly," sniff ed Molly, "and doesn't annoy men by pretending to know something." "The girl with a pretty face or figure no matter what else she has," con tributed the author man's wife tartly. "The even tempered girl," said the author man, with a warmth that sug gested he was stating what should be instead of what was. "The girl who Is always respectful to her father and mother, doesn't weal ultra clothes, likes to be outdoors and likes children," described the man-who-thinks. "Seems to me," said the lady-who-always-knows-somehow, "that we got some pretty good suggestions about the kind of a man a woman likes, when Ruth asked her reader friends about it. Suppose we get her to ask them about this." Will my reader friends please again consider themselves appealed to for their points of view? Uneeda Biscuit never disappoint! You have never heard anyone say "The Uneeda Biscuit in that last package were not as good as usual' You have never said it yourself. It is one thing to make soda crackers that are occasionally good. It is quite another thing to make them so that they are not only always better than all other soda crackers, but always of unvarying ness. gooa- The name "Uneeda" stamped on every one of them means that, if a million packages of Uneeda Biscuit were placed before you, you could choose any one of them, con fident that every soda cracker in that package would be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit ever baked. 5c a package never sold in bulk. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY Our symposium on the kind of man a woman likes was most interesting. Let's have another on the kind of a woman a man likes. Please remember, as close to a hund red words as possible, and please don't generalize too much. Think of the girl you like and tell us what qualities made you like her. That's the kind of thing that really means something, to quote my beloved Stevenson just once more: "There is probably nothii.g rightly thought or rightly written on this matter of love that is not a piece of the person's ex perience."

Beautiful Thomas Memorial Formally Accepted by Church. Before a congregation that packed the First Presbyterian church. Dr. S. S. Estey and Dr. E. C. Ray delivered the dedicatory addresses Sunday morn ing in connection with the beautiful memorial windows which were in stalled by Mrs. Josephine B. Thomas in memory of her husband, the late Jonathan Thomas. "Will you keep the bird's wing from seeking the air; the flower from turn ing sunward?" asked Dr. Estey in the introductory remarks of his address. "Not till then shall you keep human ity's Davids from thirsting after the liviner God and erecting sacred sanc tuaries in whose silence they may feel after God. "Nor can we make our temples too beautiful. God himself gave the archi tect's designs for one sanctuary, and it flashed with every beauty human skill could command. It is a cheap worship that begrudges beauty and splendor to God's temples. "When the voices of the better land call to men and women, when the westering sun is in their faces, what do they do when they look about them before their departure? Ah, some of them say. 'Let me lift up some gate that the King of Glory may come into human lives.' "I think that was the deep thought of the frail woman who gave to this church its splendid organ and beau tiful window beneath the gallery. "I think it was the thought of the man of pure, strong life who gave Washburn its gymnasium and Emporia college its endowment. I think it was the thought of her,' who being still with us, gives us today these beautiful windows to enrich our beloved church an effort to work with God for the ennobling of men; could anything he greater? "It is not a common gift that has come to us. We have in these windows the best that art can produce. In be half of this church and congregation, I thank Mrs. Thomas for this gift, which comes as the noble climax to the long list of her gifts to the church. "Through the years the Stormont memorial windows will witness to the devotion of Dr. Stormont to this church and to the dying wish of Mrs. Stormont to help it. So long as this church stands the Thomas memorial windows will testify to the unselfish, noble lives of a husband and wife, without whose help this church could not have had the splendid history it has had." Dr. Kay's Address. "These windows complete and crown the improvements of this edifice in re cent years," said Dr. E. C. Ray. "It is a joy to view it all. The beauty of the sanctuary is a fitting aesthetic ex pression not only of the beauty of this prospering city, but also of tthe power and beauty of divine life, the life of God in the souls of the people, which this church embodies and promotes. Come, these windows say to us, come, children of earth and be chil dren of heaven. Come ye who suffer, strive and die, who sin and sorrow and grieve; follow the call of God, and he will satisfy your soul forever.' And this is the message of the Second Com mandment, is it not?" An appropriate musical program was rendered by the choir. NEARLY THE WARMEST. Only One September Hotter Than That Just Past. With but one exception the month just past was the warmest September on record In Topeka in the last quar ter of a century, while according to the report of the local government weather station the summer was with out exception the hottest on record. "The summer of 1911 has been the hottest and driest summer on record at Topeka since weather records were begun in 1887, reads the report. "The temperature from March 1 to Septem ber 30, which comprises the crop growing season, has averaged 3.8 de grees above the normal, while in 1901, which is the second hottest summer, the temperature from March 1 to Sep tember 30 averaged but 2.4 degrees above normal. There have been more days during 1911 with the tempera ture 90 degrees or higher than there were in 1901 and the highest tempera ture ever recorded at Topeka occurred on the 5th of last July when the ther mometer registered 106.8 degrees. "July, 19 01, as a whole, was hotter than any month that has occurred this year, but this excess in temperature was more than counter balanced by the fact that March, April, May, June and September of 1911 have been warmer than the corresponding months of 1901. "The precipitation from March 1 to September 30 this year was 18.33 Inches, approximately two-thirds of the normal amount for that period, which Is 27.40 inches. The next driest summer was 1906, when 19.04 inches were received. The third driest sum mer was 19 01 when 19.56 inches of precipitation fell and the fourth driest summer was 1890 with 19.89 Inches. "August and September of 1911 have been the only months since last February that have had more than the normal amount of precipitation. "But one September in 2 5 years has averaged warmer than the month just closed, only eight have been drier, one September has had more cloudy days and one more rainy days. "The average temperature of the month was 73 degrees, which is 5 de grees above normal. The highest tem perature during the month was 99 de grees on the 14th and the lowest tem perature 49 degrees on the 19th. "The total precipitation of the month was 4.38 Inches, 0.82 of an Inch 1 All S MID MISCELLANEOUS AB3 C. W. Snrasmft Ir, T Br-hrief 46, 48 Tyler St., Douthitt Place 850 Mitchell and wife to O. H.

Nine times out of ten the woman who looks about finally buys a Crosby suit. This is a season that calls strong ly for the wearing of suits made of serges and rough Scotch mixed materials, and we've got them in styles that win the admiration of every woman who sees them. There's a full range of sizes from 16 to 49 bust, variously priced from $12.50 to $45.00. Women's Goats First of all we would like it un derstood that a Crosby coat has every essential in the way of qual ity, style and workmanship to make it the best that can be produced to sell at a given price. This present splendid showing includes: Plaid blacks, cheviots, broadcloths, caracals, velvets and plushes: tailored in different stylish effects; some with the large shawl collar; some with the mannish tailored collar and some with the clever cape collar coats that are unexcelled at any price you Invest. $7.50 to $75.00 fit 1 1 i 1 I I J 1 If I' S!v This is trie Home of Wright Peters and D. Armstrong SHOES sr sfe V Both of these makers spe cialize in Womens' Shoes. To embody better style and qual ity than is shown in each model they turn out would be impossible. Women who buy shoes here have the advantage of selecting from varieties that afford the widest choice. Here she finds all the good styles she would find elsewhere and some that are here exclusively the new wrinkles of fashion as well as the staple, solid comfort kinds. Our full line from the shops of Wright Peters and D. Armstrong embraces every Fall and Winter foot need for women, at $3.50 to $7.00 a pair.

Good Trunks It makes no difference where you are going or how you plan to travel, we have the trunk best suited to your trip and your individual needs. Our stock includes a most complete assortment of high grade Trunks of every de scription from the cheapest, at $5 which is worth buying, up to the very finest Trunks made, which sell at $73 each.

Corsets m Correct Models tor Every Figure The more we are tested and challenged in the matter of our Corsets the better we like it the better the opportunity for us to demonstrate the superior excellence of the various makes we carry, which comprise The Redfern, Warner's Rust-Proof, The Justrite, The Kabo, W. B., Thompson's Glove Fitting, H. W., and Ferris Waists and several styles of Brassieres. Each model is designed for some one specific need and will fill that need absolutely.

We are showing a splendid line of bust supporters to properly supplement the low top corset models now in rogue. Waist, Furs, Skirts, Sweaters, Etc. We could talk and talk and talk about this Ready-to-Wear Section of ours, if space would only permit but we must be content to wind up by saying that in addition to the lines we have briefly mentioned, we also show the newest and the best in Dress Skirts, Waists, Furs, Sweaters for women and misses, House Dresses, Bath Robes for women, Petticoats, Children's Wash and Cloth Dresses, Infants' Wear and Muslin Underwear, for women, misses and children. This is the Home of vjreneva SILK HOSE r..t. m, i-.... i ww,,.,FaFi k J I" "'PAY j This is the Xopeka Home of Berkey fe? Gay and Cowan FURNITURE The purchase of a piece or a complete suite of Furniture at our store is attended with a degree of satisfaction that is impossible where furniture values are less understood. It is hot enough that a certain chair or sideboard may be pleasing in appearance, it must pass certain high standards in construction in order to meet the requirements of this store. We have the exclusive agencies here for the Berkey Gay and W. K. Cowan lines of high-grade Bed Room, Dining Room, Living Room and Hall Furniture. They are Unes we take par ticular pride in showing. The "Flanders" Suite, three'pieces of which are pictured above, is an elegant example of Berkey Gay character furniture. Side board, table, china cabinet and six chairs sell at $361.50 Geneva Silk, you know, is an imitation of real silk it's a German process. It imparts to the yarn a very lustrous silky appearance and feel; a finish that retains all of its good looks after washing. All yarns that have the Geneva silk finish are made from the best qualities of long fiber Egyptian cottons. With the foregoing points explained, you can readily see that Geneva Silk Hosiery pos sesses the best quality and ex cellence of finish, and as far as the making is concerned, every pair is German made on the latest of improved, full fashioned machinery. Differ ent weights and qualities are shown for both men and wom en at 25$(, 50fS and 75 a pair. Our famous Rex for men, and Regina for women, at 50c, are members of the Geneva Silk family. Silk Hosiery There are some women wiiose tastes call for Silk Hose, and to serve them well we are always excellently pre pared. The Kayser and McCallum brands, our best and most principal lines of Silk Hosiery, are second to none sold in any corner of the world. Prices begin at $1.00 and go up to $6.00 a pair. Black, white and colors in all grades. y Just as a R emmder We also want to mention the fact that we are distributers of the cele brated "Kayser" Italian Silk Un derwear, "Kayser" Silk and Fabric Gloves for women and children. k-e 11 EVER since we began business we've tried to gain the confidence and patronage of the buying pub lic by selling only such merchandise as we knew would measure up to the standard of the price we asked for it. We've made some mistakes, we know but we've always been careful to avoid making the same mistake again. Man has not as yet, and perhaps never will, contrive a substitute for determination. Neither have laboratories nor machine shops been able to produce artificial cou rage. In all these years we have never for a moment failed to realize that everybody, regardless of color, intelligence or age, should receive for their money merchandise that is equal in value to the amount expended, and this we unfailingly try to give. Our last word is this: Judge this store by the Merchandise we sell. 1 ere jrkre pnown me ajqsx iriaKes or jrxpparei lor Women, IVlisses and Ckildren Women s Dresses Just the other day one lady told us that since she came to know the goodness of our made-up dresses, she never thought of having a dress made by a dressmaker. For street wear, some very fash ionable dresses, made by the best of designers are here, in white, black, navy, brown and Coronation purple serge velvets and black satin, at $10.00 to $95.00 each. And for evening wear there's many a dainty style in chiffon net and cream broadcloth dresses at $15.00 to $75.00 each. Children s Coats The entire story of real goodness in a child's coat is portrayed more forcibly than ever in this present Crosby collection. They represent the best from the master shops of America. Cheviots, juvenile mixtures, car acals and plushes of qualities that will wear, are made up into be coming coats for the child of 2 up to the girl of 14; single and double breasted effects, w ith high and large sailor collars tastefully tri mmed. Priced at $3.95 to $15.00. This Is tke Home of "Standard" Dewing Mack mes We are not very old in the selling of sewing machines, but before we in stalled our Sewing Machine Dep't, about six months ago, we spent a great deal of time investigating: the merits of dif ferent makes, and we finally decided to handle the Standard, because we were convinced that no other make that we could buy had as many good features and would prove as good value to our patrons. fZAe Central Needle Feature Contained in many of the Standard models is an exclusive feature with this particular make, and it is one of the greatest helps to a woman that could possibly be installed in a sewing machine. It permits a eorrer-t puid inj? of the work and threading of the needle without the necessity of leaning sideways or craning- the neck. It affords a healthful position for the woman at the machine. Physicians everywhere indorse it. Everything about Standard Machines is as good as it can be made. Every machine is sold under a guarantee for ever. All models are of the drop-head va riety; elegantly finished, and are so'.d at prices running from $11.85 to $50. When you buy a machine look at the Standard. CONVENIENT TERMS if desired. Custom Tailored Clotkes For W omen THE particular man must have his clothes made to order. Why shouldn't the particular woman do likewise? Many do, and many more would if they only knew the advautage of such clothing. A suit or coat properly tailored for example, one such as you can have made in our Women's Tailoring Department will fit you perfectly not here and there, but everywhere. You can select a good and yet un common style model, and choose from materials that are in every case more or less exclusive. Quality, Style, Workmanship and Perfect Fit considered, you'll be sur prised how moderate the cost. We invite a trial order. High Grade China Ware It's a mistake for any woman to think that good China is beyond her means. The rich China in many a home was col lected a piece at a time. Ws carry genuine Haviland and other high-(?rada makes of China, in what is known as open-stock patterns, patterns that are so universally popu lar that they can always be matched. From thes pattern one can buy a piece thia week, one next and so on until they fret the complete set or number of pieves they require. If you are a lover of good China, which most women are, this is a splendid way of possessing it without feeling the outlay of its cost. Mil IX -A v.
